Virgin Blue Woos Business Travellers With âVelocity', Powered By Virgin Blue15/11/2005
The World's Next Generation Loyalty Program
Virgin Blue today unveiled the world's newest loyalty program - "VELOCITY", in conjunction with foundation launch partners National Australia Bank, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, and Europcar.
The airline also announced two new Velocity branded credit cards – Velocity National Visa Card and the Velocity National Gold American Express® card.
"Velocity powered by Virgin Blue, is for all of our Guests and is also part of our strategy to broaden Virgin Blue's appeal to frequent travellers, and the corporate and Government sectors," said Virgin Blue Chief Executive Officer Brett Godfrey.
"We are more committed than ever to our original charter to drive competition by offering a high quality product at consistently lower fares, and now we have added a next generation loyalty program to the mix," he said.
Virgin Blue has grown in five years to offer a competitive national, Tasman and South Pacific Island network.
During the past 12 months the airline has completed a number of key developments including more frequency on main trunk routes, Blue Plus fares for business travellers, Blue-Check self-check-in kiosks, the progressive Web Check-In service and new code-share technology.
Brett Godfrey continued "Now with 51 aircraft, and more than 300 flights daily to 22 Australian and six overseas destinations, we are well positioned to take advantage of our size, scale, and frequency."
"To develop Velocity and determine the key program benefits, we studied the experiences and frustrations of Australian frequent flyers including members of our competitor's program and those who were members of the former Ansett Global Rewards. The time is now right for a next generation loyalty program in Australia.
One of the primary frustrations of existing frequent flyer programs is not being able to get a seat when you want to travel. Velocity is set to change that. Among the key benefits of Velocity:
* Any seat redemption: Every flight, every route, every day, all year round availability*
* No blackout periods: Even at Easter, Christmas, school or public holidays*
* Free on-line membership
* Points don't expire while you are an active member
* Members points are backed by a Trust structure
Brett Godfrey continued, "Virgin Blue is a new world carrier and Velocity is a new world loyalty program.
The reality is we operate in a volatile global market and make no mistake, Virgin Blue will continue to use innovation and "out of the box" thinking to stay at the forefront of competition, be it with affordable airfares, award winning service, technology or in this case, a loyalty program."
For more information on Velocity, go to www.velocityrewards.com.au
* Any seat redemption and no blackout periods applies to Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue. Velocity is operated by Velocity Rewards Pty Ltd as trustee of the Loyalty Trust. Membership is governed by the Member terms and conditions, as amended from time to time.

|Head Sprint Pro Women's Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
The new Head Sprint Pro offers players a sleek, speedy performance shoe without sacrificing fashion. Our playtesters spent many hours on the court putting this shoe to the test and found it to be comfortable and quick, with great traction. The Sprint Pro comes in a lightweight, low-profile package, and our playtesters were impressed with the durability of the outsole and even more surprised to find that this speed-oriented shoe comes with a six-month outsole warranty. Head has also injected this shoe with its three-part Trinergy technology, which helps absorb impact, add torsional stability and provide energy for rebounding off the court. Overall, we found this offering from Head to be a superb option in the speed category. It was so impressive one of our playtesters declared this one to be her new favorite shoe!
Our playtesters found the comfort of the Head Sprint Pro to be on par with other speed-oriented performance shoes. With the Micro-Fit last and a female specific fit, this shoe was designed to be comfortable right out of the box. Carol started this playtest off on a positive note, saying, "This is probably one of the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever playtested!" She loved the pillow-like cushioning, especially in the heel. "The technology in the heel is the best I've experienced in a tennis shoe. I never wanted to take these shoes off! I never experienced any pinching, poking or rubbing during this playtest, and I think I can credit that to the incredible fit."
It took about two hours for the uppers to soften and mold around Brittany's feet. She explained, "I felt a bit of discomfort during those first two hours, especially on the lateral side of the forefoot on my right foot. However, this discomfort went away after the break-in period, and from then on I didn't feel any pain. I thought there was enough cushioning throughout the shoe to satisfy my needs. The heel cushioning was excellent, and I would say it was on the plush side. I did experience some rubbing on the back of my heels because the shoe ate my low-cut socks. This problem was fixed when I wore ankle socks or socks with a heel tab."
"I've had some good experiences with Head shoes," began Tiffani, "and I liked this shoe comfort-wise pretty much from the start. There was little to no break-in time for me. The only discomfort I felt was in the mid-foot area, which was a little narrow for my wider feet. The upper material stretched enough within an hour to eliminate this problem. As far as cushioning goes, the Sprint Pro was right up my alley. It was noticeable, but not overwhelming, and it kept me fairly low to the ground. One word of caution: I did have some rubbing on my Achilles tendon when I wore socks that were low cut."
When Karly first put on the Sprint Pro it felt a little stiff, but it didn't take long for that stiffness to go away. She explained, "It only took about an hour for the shoe to loosen up, which was pretty quick. I'd say the padding throughout the shoe was average. There was a enough to prevent any pinching or rubbing, but the cushioning didn't have a plush or pillowy feel to it. The only issue I had with discomfort was a little bit of toe-jamming. The Sprint Pro fits a little roomy in the forefoot so when I made quick stops my toes would hit the end of the shoe. I had to be careful when making sudden stops because the jamming was really painful. The overall comfort was average; I just wish they fit my feet a little better in the toe box."
Despite the calendar telling us it's fall at Tennis Warehouse, our playtesters have been enjoying some 80+ degree days on the California Central Coast, which helped to really put the Sprint Pro to the test when it came to ventilation. "There is a mesh window in the mid-foot area that should help with venting out the heat," said Tiffani. "I never noticed my feet feeling hot in the shoe during play, but when I took my shoes off (gross alert!), my socks were always rather damp. Only then did I notice how much my feet were sweating."
"Let's just say ventilation wasn't the Sprint Pro's strongest suit," said Karly. "After an hour of hitting my socks felt so damp that changing out of them after stepping off the court was always my first priority. To be fair, I wasn't really expecting the best ventilation from this shoe. One of the first things I noticed was the limited amount of perforations and mesh on the completely synthetic upper. The shoe was warm on court, but the temperature didn't distract me too much while I was hitting. It was the aftermath that bothered me the most."
If Brittany had to pick one negative of this shoe, it would be the ventilation. "I didn't expect to have any problems with ventilation since we were playtesting this shoe in the fall, but toward the end of my practice sessions my feet were definitely warm toward the forefoot of the shoe. Once I finished playing tennis I had to take these shoes off immediately because I didn't feel like I was getting enough air circulation."
Carol, however, never wanted to take these shoes off and never struggled with overheating while wearing this shoe. "Given the comfort and cushioning level of this shoe, I was very surprised that my feet did not overheat. I felt properly ventilated in the Sprint Pro whether I was going for a quick hit, doing isolations or playing points with lots of movement."
Sometimes the arch of a shoe can make or break a shoe, but our playtesters didn't have anything negative to say about the arch support in the Sprint Pro. "The arch was lower in this shoe, but it caused no noticeable effect on my movement or play," stated Carol. "I would say that the arch was just right for me."
Karly also found the support to be on the low side, but the insoles were cushioned enough to keep the flatter arches from bothering her. She said, "I usually don't have any problems with my arches, and it wasn't any different when I was wearing the Sprint Pros, even with the lower support."
Brittany's medium arches were very happy in this shoe. She offered, "The support hit my arches in the perfect location, and it was very comfortable. I had no issues whatsoever."
"I love it when I don't feel the ache of a misplaced arch support," said Tiffani, who has low arches. "The arch support of the Sprint Pro is great, and I gave it high marks for that reason. I felt supported and comfortable at all times."
This shoe provided a pleasant level of support and stability for our aggressive playtesters. Tiffani found some positives and negatives when it came to the support and stability of the Sprint Pro. She explained, "The upside of having a slightly stiffer ankle collar is that there is good support. The downside is the rubbing I experienced on my Achilles when I wore very low cut socks. That was more of an annoyance than a problem, because it was easily remedied with higher cut socks. I was happy with the low-to-the-ground feel, which helped keep me connected to my footwork and confident in all of my movements. I did need to make sure I tied the shoes tightly to ensure maximum support, but I walked away from this playtest pretty happy all around."
Carol had nothing but great things to say about the support and stability of this shoe. "My foot was held firmly in place by the Sprint Pro on the court, and I felt very secure. I never felt the sensation that my ankle was going to roll during my movements around the court. Again, my foot felt very secure and stable on the court. The shoe supported all my movements, whether it was a quick change of direction or long defensive strides. There was no shock to the foot with quick stops, which I credit to Head's Trinergy technology."
"I was surprised by how stable this shoe was," began Brittany. "It kept my ankle in place with no risk of rolling over. The fit was a tad different for me. I found the Sprint Pro held my mid-foot in place because it was a tad narrow in that area. The toe box was wider, and I did feel some movement in my forefoot when running around the court."
Karly was also surprised with the stability, saying, "I thought the support was great, especially considering they're somewhat light. Even with my feet sliding around some in the shoes, I was still making aggressive movements on the court without hesitation. The support was definitely no match for an adidas Barricade or Asics Gel Resolution, but with the support and stability that was there I was confident that I wasn't going to twist an ankle making a quick stop or turn."
This quick, lightweight shoe held its own when it came to durability. For its weight, the Sprint Pro exceeded Karly's expectations. She said, "I thought they held up really well for how fast they played. I did notice a little bit of smoothing on the outsole after five hours of playing, but I have yet to actually wear through the outsole or see any significant damage after about 25 hours. I think the durability was about average, but it's how long they've lasted for how much they weigh that impresses me."
Tiffani, on the other hand, found the wear of this shoe to be appropriate for the weight and build of the shoe. She said, "The rubber feels pretty soft underfoot, and the wear seems to validate that. I saw some wear on the tread after just a few hours. The previous Head shoes I wore, the Prestige and Prestige Pro, were both very durable. This is more of a speed-oriented shoe than a durability shoe, so I wasn't surprised that the durability isn't in the same league. This is more like a Nike Vapor 9 Tour in terms of durability."
"I noticed minimal wear and tear along the sole, and I have played many hours in this shoe," said Carol. "I did notice a few scuff marks here and there, but that was really it."
After several weeks of playtesting, Brittany put its durability to the test. She offered, "While it isn't at the top of my durability list, it is definitely above average in the lightweight shoe category. I saw the start of some smoothing under my big toe, but it was after many hours and not premature. I feel like I have several more weeks of play left on this shoe."
Because all four of our playtesters are also toe draggers, they really were able to test this shoe's limits. Brittany was very satisfied with the toe durability, saying, "I frequently drag my toe on the court, and the toe bumper still looks brand new. The toe bumper was thick enough and went up high enough to protect my shoe from damage. I still have many more hours of play left before I'll have any issues."
Tiffani found better durability in the toe area than the outsole. "I drag my toes mostly on the backhand side, and I found the toecap to do a pretty good job of protecting the shoe. There's minimal scuffing on top of the toe. My one knock is that the midsole is exposed on the lateral side of the toe area. I sometimes turn my foot over and drag it when I'm getting down to hit a slice backhand. I did that in my Sprint Pros and now the paint on top of the EVA is all scratched up."
"For my style of play the protection around the toe was perfect," began Karly. "I'm not a severe toe dragger, but when I did drag my feet, the coverage around the toes was durable enough to prevent any significant damage to the shoes. I have yet to see any wear at the toes and I don't think I will anytime soon with the amount of protection the Sprint Pros have."
Carol always seems to wear out her tennis shoes at the inner toe first. She said, "I did notice a little wear along the grooves in this area, but nothing to warrant concern yet."
A modified herringbone tread pattern helped our testers find their footing on the hard courts. Carol found great traction from the Sprint Pro. She said, "I was able to change direction and stop and go with ease around the court. The traction gave me confidence in my movements around the court. I have nothing but good things to say about the traction."
The grip on the court was great for Karly as well. "I noticed after a few hours of play that the soles started to smooth down a little, and they didn't feel as sticky as they did in the beginning of the playtest. However, I also never felt that I couldn't get a good grip on the court. I never experienced any slipping or sliding, and I wasn't worried about it happening."
Finding the traction to be one of the best aspects of the Sprint Pro was Tiffani. She said, "The Sprint Pro had just the right amount of grip, so I always felt in control of my movements. I wasn't slipping when I shouldn't be, and I also didn't get the feeling that I was stuck on the court. The outsole had a good balance of stick and give."
Brittany agreed that traction was one of the standout features of this shoe. She said, "Even with a cushioned heel, I thought this shoe still maintained a low-to-the-ground feel. Moving around the court was a breeze because I had good grip when starting and stopping. The shoe was very responsive when I was changing directions aggressively."
These lightweight shoes really worked in our playtesters' favor, with all four ladies preferring lighter shoes. "The weight was one my favorite thing about this shoe," exclaimed Karly. "They weren't necessarily the lightest shoes I've ever worn, but I was able to move really aggressively in them. I could make quick and fast movements on the court, and the idea that they was slowing me down never crossed my mind. The weight itself was a little above average, but because I could move so well in them they felt lighter than they actually were."
"Given the high comfort level and stability, I was very surprised at how light the shoe is," said Carol. "As stated numerous times, I never wanted to take the shoe off, and it never weighed me down on the court. An analogy that comes to mind is featherlight pillows on the court."
Brittany said, "There are definitely shoes that feel lighter or heavier on the court, but I never had an issue with this shoe's weight. Sometimes a lighter weight makes the shoe too unstable, and a heavier weight makes the shoe too clunky. I thought Head did a great job of finding the perfect weight-to-stability ratio for the Sprint Pro."
"The weight is spot on for me," said Tiffani. "Although I rarely complain about heavy shoes, I certainly welcome a lightweight feel as long as there is ample support, and there is plenty in the Sprint Pro. The only other Head shoes I've worn have been Prestiges, and they're much heavier and clunkier. The Sprint Pro is, as the name suggests, much speedier and more streamlined."
Carol- "I liked everything about this shoe! This is one of my favorite shoe reviews to date, and with a shoe brand I have never tried before. I applaud Head for producing such a comfortable and reliable tennis shoe."
Brittany- "I thought that the shoe had a good blend of stability, durability and traction."
Tiffani- "I liked the traction, support and lightweight feel. The design lines are also nice."
Karly- "Not only did the shoe look great, it was also stable and lightweight."
Carol- "I really don't have a dislike with this shoe!"
Brittany- "I wish the ventilation was better."
Tiffani- "Although it didn't bother me when I was playing, my socks were damp after playing in the Sprint Pro because of the mediocre ventilation."
Karly- "The ventilation. My socks were surprisingly damp with sweat, even after a short hit."
Carol- "Well, I hate to say goodbye to my previous favorite shoe, the Asics Gel Resolution 5, but a new shoe has been given the throne, and it's this shoe from Head. I really enjoyed this playtest and was very impressed with this shoe."
Brittany- "I felt this shoe was similar to the adidas adizero Tempaia II and the Wilson Rush Pro. All three shoes had similar cushioning, support, stability and durability. I would say the Tempaia II felt the lightest. They all had ventilation issues, especially the Tempaia II and Sprint Pro."
Tiffani- "This shoe is in line with the synthetic leather adidas Tempaia II. Both are lightweight, with a low-to-the-ground profile for a fast feel on the court. They're comparable in other areas as well. Both offered good support and stability, but I also struggled with the ventilation and outsole durability with both of them."
Karly- "I thought the Head Sprint Pro was extremely similar to the adidas Tempaia II -- the full synthetic uppers made them warm shoes to play in, but they made it easy to move aggressively and were fairly stable for their weight."

Performance is what matters during progress, which is not the same as valueing raw output.
The main issue is then; How does the pets do double the damage per attack of the other hunter (ANY other hunter).
Went and got a corehound. With bloodlust - 20 attacks. Without bloodlust - 16. 4x extra attacks. Can't test how it stacks with berserking as I'm an orc :<.
That said, siamat's buff (assuming you get 3 stacks of it on all pets) count as a permanent bloodlust. Simple math but -
I get 17 attacks baseline at 16.3K haste (the bloodlust test was with 14K as I hadn't reforged from the berserking test earlier) with raidbuffs. Megabloks had 50 total (2x stampedes).
17+2 from berserking = 38.
+4 from bloodlust = 42.
+8 from 2x summons with siamat's buff = 50.
Top kek!!!!

Skip to comments.Wycliffe rancher losing cattle to grizzlies ( Canada )
Posted on 10/01/2013 1:13:03 PM PDT by george76
In his 63 years ranging cattle at Pine Butte Ranch in Wycliffe, Ray Van Steinburg has never had grizzly bears take down a cow.
That is, until earlier this month, when he and other ranch workers found the carcasses of two cows about 100 feet apart on the 15,000 hectare property. The cows weigh about 1,400 pounds each.
They set up a motion-detected camera at the site of one of the kills and caught amazing footage of not one but two grizzlies approaching the kill, feeding on it, and even wrestling with each other.
Van Steinburg said that while his 800 head of cattle are ranging, he doesn't know how many cows the grizzlies have taken. But he has observed cows who no longer have calves, and calves who no longer have mothers.
In his time on Pine Butte, Van Steinburg has seen the wildlife population grow from zero to what it is today. Last fall, Van Steinburg said there were around 3,700 elk on the property.
But since the grizzly kills, there have been no elk at Pine Butte Ranch
(Excerpt) Read more at dailytownsman.com ...
SSS, eh?
"...two grizzlies approaching the kill, feeding on it, and even wrestling with each other."
Personally, I've always found that wrestling after dinner promotes indigestion.
Yeah, I try to squeeze a movie in there.
How about a limited Griz season?
Or, a "landowners can protect their livestock" rule?
(I believe that was the point of the earlier "SSS" post)
...but....2 griz is a LOT of diggin'!
One must assume that in Canada grizzlies are a protected species like polar bears due to Global Warming and advanced bureaucratic brain rot.
Canada Ping!
TS Jack.
They're protected, you're not.
That's why we invented big damn rifles.
Need a good rifle in the right caliber. Remington 700.
Suggested Calibers
.338 Win Mag
.338 Remington Ultra Mag
.375 H&H Mag
.375 Remington Ultra Mag
8mm Remington Mag
But he is in Canada. I'm not sure he can own a rifle. The .375 H&H or the Ultra Mag would get my vote. BTW not for casual plinking. These are real shoulder thumpers.
12 gauge running .50 caliber sabot slugs should do the job.
Sure would!
I don't often hunt Grizzly bears but when I do
I prefer a powerful rifle.
(so I can make it back to camp for a few Dos Equis)
So we did.
[Yeah, I know it's a shotgun.]
You can hunt Grizzlies in BC.
I learned (while in Montana) that Grizzlies are more at home in the plains, hunting the likes of cattle, than in the mountains.
It explains why they can't climb trees like black bear can.
Saw some grizzlies a few years ago while crossing the Rockies from Alberta to B.C. Drove through Cranbrook back into the U.S.
1st mistake.. mentioning this to anyone....
2nd mistake.... not buying a bear dog.. and a shovel..
LOL yep....Our ancestors got rid of the large predators cause they didn't want to end up their dinner...now we have silly people bringing them back, but not it their own backyards..
Yep, there is a reason they paid bounties for wolves.
back at the turn of the 20th cent. my father was a farm boy and they paid a one penny bounty of crows...problem was a shot gun shell cost a penny...so he soaked a lot of grain overnight in whiskey...the crows got drunk and couldn't fly. He said he could get 5 or 6 with his penny shell...those boys knew how to make money...:O)
There have been some weird predator changes up here on the Range, george76. Coyotes have been hanging around longer and getting closer. There aren't as many red tail hawks, but there are way more rough-legged hawks and golden eagles. They're always around close. Daytime mountain lion sightings are more common, too. Maybe it was the drought. Not sure. And BTW, I've only seen elk herds that are much smaller than usual and haven't seen them often. Antelope are more scattered and in smaller numbers, too—quite a few lone ones sighted.
The closing of the spring bear hunt season resulted in an explosion of higher numbers and more aggressive bears. Bears now think that humans are the easy source of food as there is no hunting going in the spring. [ Utes and others hunted year round ].
Second, the vacating of grazing allotments and new lion study areas [ no hunting allowed ] has destroyed deer, elk, antelope ... populations. Thus smaller herds and your lone antelope example.
Not a water problem. The drought hype [ like AGW ] is just another government program designed to raise our taxes & fees while turning citizens into slaves.
I live 100 miles NW of Wycliffe across the Purcells. There's a grizzly population in the low hundreds in between us.
Folks around here love and respect the griz; one of my neighbours has grizzly bears feeding on spawning kokanee now right next to his garden - he has no problems with them. Last year at this time my wife and I were able to observe a sow and two platinum blond cubs feeding on huckleberries within a hundred feet of us for a couple of minutes.
I heart British Columbia!
But yeah, some bears you have to shoot.
bump for later
Do you do anything special with the heads, pour encourager les autres?

What Is Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy?
In this article
Diagnosis of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
Doctors diagnose juvenile myoclonic epilepsy based on the presence of myoclonic jerks together with other seizure types. Different tests can help make the diagnosis of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy:
- Electroencephalogram (EEG): by attaching a set of adhesive electrodes to the scalp, a technician records brain waves during this painless test. A neurologist interprets the EEG. In juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, a pattern of spikes and waves is often present, especially in response to flashing lights. To confirm the diagnosis, an EEG can be done while asleep and just after awakening.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): this high-resolution scan of the brain is normal in children with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
- Computed tomography (CT): this brain scan creates lower quality images than an MRI, but is faster and more widely available. CT brain scans are also normal in people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
Myoclonic jerks of the legs and arms are common in people without epilepsy. In fact, they're normal as a person falls to sleep. The key to the diagnosis of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is the additional presence of either absence seizures or convulsive seizures.
Treatment of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
Depakote (valproate or valproic acid) is often used to treat juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Depakote is a broad-spectrum anti-seizure drug, and can treat each of the three seizure types that occur in people with JME.
Other epilepsy drugs are effective in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, too. Effective treatment depends on using a medicine that controls all three seizure types seen in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Keppra (levetiracetam), Topamax (topiramate), and Lamictal (lamotrigine) all treat juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
For most people with JME, treatment is long-term, and often lifelong. However, treatment is effective, allowing most people with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy to go five years or more between seizures.

"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..."
"Knowledge is power"
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Do you think madara is setting up Sasuke to be the fall guy for his nefarious scheme? Or did he have Zetsu reveal that Sasuke was there just to punish him for screwing up the 8-tails capture?
I would relate this to Star Wars Episode 3 where Palpatine gets Anakin to wipe out the Jedi temple there by cementing his slide to the darkside. Once Anakin helped Killed Mace Windu he felt there was no turning back it was kill or be killed so he choose sides.
The same applies to Sasuke in a sense that Madara wants to cement his divide so Sasuke feels he can never go back & make him an enemy of all Nations so he has no choice but to pick sides and become a true Akatsuki and further thier goals in order to achieve his own.
He is cementing Sasuke's path to the darkside so to speak.
POW, this is a question specific for you, if Madara is the sith lord, and Nagato was Darth Vader, what role does Sasuke play in the Star Wars comparison?
Second Question, who's hotter, uzumaki kushina or uchiha mikoto?
A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
Signature by me.
1) In a Star wars comparison Sasuke would repesent Darkside Luke or rather what Luke could have became by temptation to the Darkside.
The Emperor(Madara) clearly saw that Vader(Nagato) had great potential in his youth but his injuries left him only about 60% of that potential.
The Emperor(Madara) then saught out a stronger younger apprentice who could replace the aging Vader(Nagato) and become his new tool/weapon in Darkside-Luke(Sasuke)
2) I would have to go with Sasuke's mom shes a total milf! Mikoto all the way!

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

Not good
So there was a stern Ritter who can control peoples mind... and has a jokers/clowns boot.. kinda reminds me of nnoitra's boots..... plus the letter J is assigned to opie... Does this mean he is also a SternRitter( SternRItter "J")... i would not be surprise since he lasted this long and is still kicking right until the most interesting part of the chapter----> the sword slash at the end lols... who ever the mystery guy/gal is... its fast enough to have caught kirgie off guard and afterwards pointed his/her sword to urahara ( who is shocked and might have recognized this guy).....
-is it the long awaited grimmjow (don't know if currently he is strong enough to give urahara a shocked face... but plausible)?
-Most probably adult Nel?... she is strong enough to one shot a severely injured opie and surprise urahara
-isshin? nah urahara would not be surprise if its isshin and why would isshin point his sword against urahara?
-Love? and the visoreds... same point as isshin why would they point his/her sword on urahara
-yoruichi, tessai... again same point as isshin and the visoreds
-Ashido? maybe this is the time kubo can introduce him in the manga
-Aizen!!!! lols - how did he escaped prison - highly unlikely as of this point
-Ryuken? - a sword looking zanpaktou? nah.... who knows lols
- Or my best guess is ichimaru gin - somehow alive... maybe inoue or 4th squad healed him after the defeat of aizen...his sword is the only one with that kind of speed
i would have to agree with either nel or gin. halibel is out of the picture cause her sword is waayyy different. but hey, if it turns out to be grimmjow, i doubt urahara would be outranked in that battle. scared cause of how fast? yeah. but fear of losing, hell no. he is legend. and yoruichi and him need to tag team fast!
SO early release?
Mind controlling quincy
SternRitter Opie = J for jailer
Ichigo in panic mode
Mystery man or woman with zanpaktou slashed opie in half and even tore his ear off = Next chapter baby
It'd be funny if its grimmjow and he'd say "I'm back baby!" just like arnold schwarzenegger
I'm good with Grimmjow, it would explain the fear in Kisuke's face. Any ally of his wouldn't provoke that response. Damn good chapter that left ya wanting more.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
It's Grimmjow 100% Gin is dead, Aizen still in prison. If that was Gin, Urahara wouldn't say "Oh NO" at the end of the chapter because Gin betrayed Aizen so he is supposed to be considered a good character and Gin wouldn't have any reason to attack Urahara. Grimmjow was already confirmed to return in this arc AND Kubo also said that he might become a good guy(and have an important role from now on in the manga) so this is the perfect moment for Grimmjow to come back and become a good guy by saving Ichigo from the quincy his reasoning would be something like the enemy of my enemy is my friend or something like that. That would be 100% Grimmjow's style. And the ones that say that Grimmjow isn't strong enough, he had plenty of time after the Aizen arc to become stronger and i also think that he stayed hidden(ashamed because he was defeated by Ichigo and to stay safe from the quincies) and develop a 2nd release so he might even be stronger than Halibel because if he stayed hidden they couldn't know how strong he is to give him a new espada rank (I said this because some people would ask why Halibel that now was rank 1 and the queen of HM was defeated by that guy and Grimmjow wasn't)
Oh and guys check this out tumblr_m6ydt8fvS61r2nkkg.jpg Grimmjow's sword was always drawn like that in the manga BLACK/WHITE SIDED...

Hah, I find it funny that it seems like no one is even close to seeing that it might be a friendly character, meaning someone who we already know is good. It's not like it would be the first time an expression cliffhanger was left for us, more like the 100ht, in this series.
I mean seriously. Just because Kisuke, looks scared/surprised doesn't mean that it's automatically a bad guy/former bad guy. I'm seriously surprised that no one else thinks this.
And just to leave a disclaimer so I don't get smashed later; don't quote me on this and say that I just made a fool of myself. I might as well be wrong, just think it's weird that no one else have thought of this so far.
AND WAHHHHH! I just started thinking about the sword(randomly because I was analyzing Kisuke's expression) and I noticed that the sword belongs to a Shinigami using Shikai. Once again I can't believe no one noticed, but then again so happy since I did I did check and since the sword is half black and half white it's a Shinigami, because the Arrancar have blank swords, and they don't use Shikai, but melt together with the sword. So, for me that says that it's either, Yoruichi(like I said my last post because she might start using a sword this arc), the guy under the sand that helped Rukia when the group first went to Hueco Mundo, Isshin, or maybe it's Gin, I doubt it, but I want him back. Awesome character!.
The expression that Kisuke have might just be that he's surprised, like he would be if either of those I mentioned appeared to "save"(since I think Kisuke could have handled Opie) either because he haven't seen them in well over 100 years, or because they suddenly change fighting style, or because they appear without any indication in a place where they were not expected, at all.
BTW, is my sword theory right? Hope so!

Im going to say that the mystery shinigami is either Grimmjaw or Gin. I would be cool with either one, although, I'm routing more for it to be Gin. Adult Nel would be awesome, but i doubt its her.
why did Urahara seem so concerned about Opie? Opie can no longer steal bankai because Ichigo broke his device. Urahra should be able to handle Opie with some 90 level Kidou right about now, if you ask me

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Every time Ashley Harris wraps a strand of brightly colored lights around a bush or a branch, he thinks of his grandfather.
"When I was a kid, he started putting Christmas lights on his house in Water Valley and I got to help," said Harris, a geriatrician in Tupelo. "I liked to see the reactions of different people in the community. I was 14 or 15 when he passed away, and I started lighting my folks' house. I always think about him when I'm doing it. There are a lot of good memories there."
Today, Harris is making a lot of good memories for the Tupelo community. For the second year, the good doctor has decked the outside of his house with red, green, white, gold and – this year – blue Christmas lights, and invited families to stop and admire them.
"I usually start in November and it takes me three to four weeks to get them all up," he said. "I try to turn them on right before Thanksgiving."
And just how many lights does it take to cover his Tutor-style house on North Madison, as well as trees, bushes and shrubs in the yard?
"I have no idea," he said. "It would be a complete guess, but probably around 60,000."
Harris uses individual strands of lights, not the net-type, and he has only one tool: a ladder.
"I don't use or rent any kind of special equipment," he said. "I attach the lights to the shingles on the roof with bobby pins. When I'm putting up the lights each year, I think, 'You know, there are other things I want to do, but I'm going to save that idea for next year. This is enough for this year.'"
Moving toward LED
Harris and his wife, Jennifer, have always decorated their home with lights at Christmastime, even when he was in medical school and she was in nursing school.
"We had a house in Flowood and we went all out there, too," he said. "I've gotten more adventurous over the years. The first houses I did in just clear and green lights."
Recently, he's been trying to replace traditional colored lights with LED lights.
"They use less power and they're more energy efficient," he said. "They're more expensive – $12 to $15 a strand, compared to $3 for the regular ones – but I rarely have a problem with them going out."
The LED lights also help with the electric bill. Harris estimates his bill doubles for the month of December.
"It's not as bad as people think it is," he said. "The most expensive thing is just buying the lights."
When it comes time to take the lights down, he'll roll them around big wooden spools, the kind that cable comes on. Then next year, he'll just hang the spool and pull lights off as he needs them.
Harris always outlines the house in white lights and then uses colored lights for the yard.
"I put up the colored lights in the evenings so I can stand back and look and try to balance the color," he said. "I also get inspiration from my neighbor, Tony Ford, who lives down the street. It's been fun for me having a neighbor who also enjoys lights. The more lights you have on a street, the more traffic you get."
for toddler
And Harris wants lots of traffic this year.
Tonight and Saturday night, after dark if the weather permits, Santa and Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty and an assortment of elves will be out in the front yard to greet passers-by, and Santa will even pose for pictures with folks, if they bring their own cameras.
And if you'd like, you may drop a donation into a bucket.
But the money isn't for the Harrises.
"In recent years, since my brother has been in the military, we've tried to do the Christmas lights around a cause," he said. "Last year, we raised about $1,000 through donations for a soldier who had been wounded overseas."
This year, Harris' brother, Larry, and his wife, Maggie, are both serving in Afghanistan. On Nov. 9, Larry Harris' captain, James Nehl, was killed in action.
"He had a 2-year-old son, Alex, and this year any money we raise will benefit Alex," Harris said. "You don't have to make a donation to get your picture taken. It's strictly up to you."
You can also make a donation to the Alex Nehl Benefit Fund, c/o BancorpSouth, Premier Banking, P.O. Box 789, Tupelo, MS 38802.
"I absolutely love to watch other people enjoy all this," Harris said as a string of cars slowed to gawk at the outdoor display. "It's fun to watch people go by, especially the kids. It makes the work all worth it. It's just a great time of year."
How you can help
Santa will be in the Harrises' front yard tonight and Saturday night and will be more than happy to pose for pictures with children (bring your own camera). If you'd like to make a donation to help 2-year-old Alex Nehl, whose father was killed in action in Afghanistan, you can drop some money in a bucket while you're there. Or you can send a check to the Alex Nehl Benefit Fund, c/o BancorpSouth, Premier Banking, P.O. Box 789, Tupelo, MS 38802.

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

PRICE-Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Dorothy Louise Miles Bunnell, age 80, passed away at Utah Valley Speciality Hospital on March 16, 2010.
She was born on Jan. 13, 1930 to O. Donald and Dorothy Richmond Miles in Harrisburg, Pa.
Married Boyd Bunnell in Price on June 17, 1949, and later solemnized in the Manti Temple.
The oldest of four children, Dorothy (Dottie) grew up in Pennsylvania and Salt Lake City. She moved to Price with her family in 1946, where she started attending Carbon College at age 17, earlier than most. She met Boyd while they both were attending Carbon College.
Dorothy was an accomplished pianist, organist, and vocalist at an early age she dedicated a lifetime to her love of music through both performance and teaching. The first item of furniture she and Boyd purchased was a piano. She taught piano lessons for more than 40 years, sharing the gift of music with each of her students, likely numbering in the hundreds. As an expert accompanist, she spent years accompanying countless soloists, musical ensembles, choirs, and church services throughout Castle Valley. She was a member of the Utah Music Teachers Association for many years and at one point served as a member of its board. Her greatest musical gift was the one she shared with her children and grandchildren who carry on her legacy through vocal, piano, and instrumental music.
Dorothy enjoyed participating in many productions of the Community Theatre with Boyd. Her most cherished memories were musical productions like The Music Man, Oliver, and Oklahoma as well as the opportunity she had to take a lead part with Boyd in a production of On Golden Pond.
An active and dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dorothy served in a lifetime of callings as ward and stake organist, as well as ward and stake music director. She conducted countless ward and stake choirs. In addition to her musical talents she served in many other capacities including primary presidencies and relief society presidencies.
Dorothy is survived by her loving husband, Boyd Bunnell; her four children, Diane (Steve) Sortor, Mark (Melinda) Bunnell, Craig (Kay) Bunnell, and Karen (Don) Beatty; her sister, Donna (Phillip) Seager; brother, David (Jolynn) Miles; 13 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents, brother, Lauren Miles; and grandson, Matthew Sortor.
Funeral services were held, Monday, March 22, 2010, 11 a.m. at the Price North LDS Stake Center, 449 North 100 East. A viewing was held, Sunday March 21, 2010 at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 East Main Street in Price from 6-8 p.m. as well as at the church Monday one hour prior to services. Interment, Price City Cemetery. Friends are welcome at Mitchell Funeral Home daily and invited to share memories of Dorothy online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net
The family would like to thank the nursing staff and doctors at Castleview Hospital for their excellent care with special thanks to Doctors Glenn T. Etzel and Cam Williams for taking the extra time needed to care for the whole person. Special gratitude is also extended to all friends, ward, and stake members who have been there to help Dorothy through these past few difficult years.

text: An ancient empire which, with its rival Babylon, ruled much of the old states of Syria and Palestine throughout most of Old Testament times. Even though the Assyrians were a major power from the mid-12th century B.C. until the close of the 7th century B.C., they were never able to build a stable political structure. They ruled by terror, crushing their enemies by fire and sword or weakening them by deporting large portions of a population to other parts of their empire. Their subjects never ceased to be their foes, and the whole course of the empire was marked by incessant revolts. (See 2 Kgs. 18–19; 2 Chr. 32; Isa. 7:17–20; 10; 19; 37.)

Public health functions in the United Statessuch as disease surveillance and emergency detection and responseare conducted by public health officials from 59 state and territorial health departments; more than 3,000 local health departments; over 180,000 clinical laboratories; and multiple federal agencies. As the federal point of contact for public health initiatives, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for coordinating nationwide efforts to detect and respond to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies. Because of the many participants involved, the identification and management of public health emergencies call for effective communication and collaboration across all levels of government and the private sector. In addition, officials at HHS and other federal, state, and local agencies recognize the need to improve the use of information technology to collect, analyze, and share data that can be used to enhance nationwide public health situational awarenessthat is, public knowledge of key health-related events and the availability of medical and emergency response resources.
HHS has taken steps over the past decade to improve the ability of public health entities to electronically collect, analyze, and share information that supports early event detection and emergency response operations, but the department's initiatives have been undertaken without the strategic planning needed to coordinate and integrate the priorities, goals, and objectives of various related initiatives. HHS officials have identified at least 25 information technology systems that are key to the department's efforts to support public health situational awareness. In fiscal year 2009, reported costs for developing and implementing these systems were approximately $40 million. Additionally, other federal, state, local, and tribal public health entities throughout the country have expended scarce resources to develop and implement numerous other systems for conducting public health functions within their own jurisdictions.
HHS has also defined data and other technical standards intended to better enable public health entities throughout the nation to develop and implement interoperable systems for collecting, analyzing, and sharing data. However, the department has not developed and implemented an overall strategy that defines goals, objectives, and priorities and that integrates related strategies to achieve the unified electronic nationwide situational awareness capability required by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act.[1]Rather, HHS and the public health community have developed and implemented information systems to enhance public health situational awareness in an often stove-piped fashion, focusing on specific public health functions. Therefore, public health entities are limited in their ability to electronically collect, analyze, and share information needed to enhance public health situational awareness and improve the effectiveness of their efforts to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies.
In December 2006, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act mandated that the Secretary of HHS, in collaboration with state, local, and tribal public health entities, develop and implement a strategic plan for the establishment of an electronic network of interoperable systems to enhance nationwide public health situational awareness. GAO's December 2010 report on HHS's efforts to establish an electronic network for enhancing nationwide situational awareness of public health emergencies found that the Secretary of HHS had not developed and delivered a strategic plan within 180 days of the mandate as required (i.e., by June 16, 2007). Without an overall strategic plan that defines requirements for establishing and evaluating the capabilities of existing and planned information systems implemented throughout the public health community, HHS cannot be assured that its resources are being effectively used to provide a unified electronic nationwide public health situational awareness capability. Further, absent more effective planning, HHS runs the risk of expending additional funds for continued fragmented efforts without realizing the mandated goal.
[1]Pub. L. No. 109-417 (Dec. 19, 2006).
GAO's December 2010 report recommended that the Secretary of HHS develop and implement a strategic plan that defines goals, objectives, and priorities for establishing an electronic public health situational awareness network. Such a plan should include performance measures for evaluating capabilities of existing and planned information systems. Additionally, the strategic plan should integrate related strategies and information technology initiatives within HHS for sharing information among federal, state, local, and tribal entities. In responding to the report, HHS stated that a complete strategy for health and public health situational awareness will be developed and incorporated into the Biennial Implementation Plan for the National Health Security Strategy, which will identify actions to be accomplished in the next 2 years. The department added that it intends to release this first biennial plan in early 2011. As discussed in GAO's report, developing a strategic plan that integrates the goals, objectives, and priorities of related strategies will be essential to establishing cohesiveness of HHS's related information technology initiatives, therefore better ensuring the success of the department's efforts to support and enhance nationwide public health situational awareness. To what extent future savings may be expected from this effort are unclear, but more effective planning has the potential to ensure more cost-effective efforts in the future.
GAO expects to complete additional work in the future assessing HHS's progress toward developing and implementing an overall strategic plan for establishing and evaluating an electronic network of systems that meets the information-sharing requirements for enhanced nationwide public health situational awareness defined by law.
