Skip to comments.Pollard's Family Pleads to Allow Him to Attend Father's Funeral
Posted on 06/18/2011 10:29:06 PM PDT by Eleutheria5
Morris Pollard, the father of Jonathan Pollard, has died at age 95. HIs family has sent an urgent plea to President Obama, asking him to show mercy and allow Jonathan Pollard compassionate leave to attend his father's funeral. Jonathan Pollard was convicted for passing classified information to a foreign country and has been incarcerated for 26 years Pollard's father had been hospitalized for the last several months. During this period, activists on Pollard's behalf and various well-known Israelis, attempted to no avail to obtain permission for Jonathan to visit his father on a 24 hour leave.
The refusal prompted MK Aryeh Eldad to send a message of condolence to Jonathan, saying: "The people of Israel will not forget President Obama's cruelty in ignoring all the requests to free you. A president who lacks the basic human feeling that would allow a son's visit to his dying father should not wonder that the Jewish people will make every effort to prevent his re-election."
A petition signed by a 75 israeli MK's, asking Obama to allow Pollard to visit his dying father was to have been handed to Vice President Joe Biden shortly. It came too late.
MK Nachman Shai (Kadima), initiator of the petition, said that its signers represented a broad spectrum of parties and opinions, who united for this humanitarian purpose. "I hope that we will succeed in opening President Obama's heart," he had said.
Recent efforts on the part of various persons to convince President Shimon Peres, considered by Deptury Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon the natural choice to turn to Obama on this issue, had been unsuccessful.

Execute him and investigate his family.
The last post about Pollard brought out a lot of closet haters who really showed their true colors.
Yeah, Americans hate traitors.
Oh look, it's the guy who couldn't recognize the Foreskin Man comic was anti-semitic, despite illustrations of burning Menorahs...
...Now he's calling for Pollard's death? Classic.
Geez, I dunno. I thought prison meant that you lose the freedom to do things like go to your father's funeral. As far as I am concerned, Pollard can go to hell. Israel or no Israel.
A personal attack and defending a traitor, all traitors should be executed.
Can you name anyone else in the history of the US who served a life sentence for handing over information to an alley?
People have done less time when caught spying for Cuba, and the USSR.
Death to traitors. Cyber death to trolls.
My son is careful not to hand over military secrets to his own Dad, who has an even higher clearance than he does. He sure as heck wouldn't hand it over to a foreign power, even an ally.
Death to traitors.
Pollard was never indicted for treason.
He was never accused of formal damage to the US.
He acknowledged guilt, and was indicted for 1 count of passing classified info to an alley - which they were entitled to, according to a Memorandum of Understanding.
Jonathan Pollard saved the West from Iranian nuclear attacks. The U.S. saw what was going on with Iran and was asleep at the wheel. Here we are decades later and the U.S. again is asleep at the wheel with Iran's just about completed and ready nuclear bombs. History will praise Jonathan Pollard for choosing to protect humankind at the risk of his own incarceration.
Are you calling for the deaths of Caspar Weinberger and former Deputy Director of the CIA Admiral Bobby Ray Inman for holding back intelligence on chemical, biological, and nuclear capabilities, plus long range missile development to protect the Arab/Muslims nations like Syria, Libya, and Iran?
As badly as Obama has treated Israel, I think any American president over the past 26 years would have done the same thing. The guy was a spy. Missing family funerals goes along with a prison term. Prisons no longer give much leeway to the incarcerated to leave, even for family funerals.
He was convicted of spying. Life in prison is too good for him.
Clinton had promised his release. A fair amount of elected officials have stated they believe Pollard has now served the proper term had he been sentenced properly.
No, he pleaded guilty to mishandling government documents in exchange for a 5 year sentence.
Except it was Iraq, not Iran.
Anyway, let the little weasel Pollard pay for 15 minutes on Skype if he's so interested in watching his father's funeral. His father must have been so proud of him....
What is believed to be wrong with his sentencing?
Had he been sentenced properly he'd be dead now. He sold military secrets to foreign powers. He didn't give them to people who were better Americans out of some misguided sense of altruism and a desire to save the world from evil American troops. He's a greedy traitor who got off easy and is now whining about his rough life.
He didn't get the death penalty. That's what was wrong with his sentencing.
It was Iran too, but Iran was a sort of alley to Israel at the time (with a crumbling relationship).
It's believed Pollard revealed that the US had been double dealing, and providing arms to both sides of the Iran-Iraq war, specifically, chemicals and cluster munitions to Saddam.
"What is believed to be wrong with his sentencing?"
He never saw a trial, and his lawyers never really got the full files. So there is a believe the sentencing was mishandled to cover some behinds.
Either way - his sentence is disproportionate to others who committed similar or worse crimes. If he was sentenced fairly, compared to spies working for actual enemy states, he would be free.
Espionage is espionage, no matter what the level. It is the MOST DESPICABLE crime that there is - betraying your country.
You serve the sentence that you receive - that DOES NOT include perks such as attending your father's funeral. I am sure that prison officials will arrange an appropriate memorial service, if Pollard so wishes ...
Pollard's plea discussions with the Government sought both to minimize his chances of receiving a life sentence and to enable Anne Pollard to plead as well, which the Government was otherwise unwilling to let her do. In late May 1986, the Government offered him a plea agreement, which he accepted.
By the terms of that agreement, Pollard was bound to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to deliver national defense information to a foreign government,which carried a maximum prison term of life, and to cooperate fully with the Government's ongoing investigation. In return for Pollard's plea, the Government promised not to charge him with additional crimes.
On June 4, 1986 Jonathan Pollard pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to deliver national defense information to a foreign government. Pollard was sentenced to life in prison on one count of espionage on March 4, 1987. The prosecutor complied with the plea agreement and asked for "only a substantial number of years in prison"; Judge Aubrey Robinson, Jr., not being obligated to follow the recommendation of the prosecutor, and after hearing a "damage-assessment memorandum" from the Secretary of Defense, imposed a life sentence. In 1987, Pollard began his life sentence, which he is still serving.
Pollard's wife, Anne, was sentenced to five years in prison but was paroled after three and a half years because of health problems. Following the end of Anne's parole, she emigrated to Israel. Jonathan divorced Anne, citing that he believed he was going to be jailed for the remainder of his life and did not want Anne to be bound to him.
Pollard was eligible to apply for parole after eight years and six months, though he has never done so. At the time of Pollard's sentencing there was a rule that mandated parole at thirty years for prisoners like him if they had maintained a clean record in prison. His projected release date is November 21, 2015.
Before this accelerates into another " Bash The Jew Traitor Fest", below are the documented, facts and a link to the site with a lot more.
There a number of traitors in this case. The largest one was actually the US. We knowingly betrayed an ally, and knowingly and intentionally set up a situation in which millions of innocent Israeli civilians would have died from the chemical laced warheads that Saddam Hussein fired into Israel. They contained poison gas. That is a fact.
Pollard alerted the Israelis and saved their lives. As a result, the people of Israel had enough time to obtain gas masks from the government and to set up a "safe room" in their homes. Most of us recall the news videos of this.
He did not receive money, he did not do it for any other purpose other than to save these people.
Yes, in doing this, he betrayed the US. He voiced his concerns to
his superiors, and the response was that he was told to "mind his own business", and that "Jews get nervous talking about poison gas; they don't need to know."
If you, as a US citizen, do not have a problem with this, then go put on a Nazi SS uniform and salute the Satanic forces that spawns such hatred and evil.
In governments, there are bad laws, bad intentions, and bad people. That is a sad reality. A person who believes in G-D, and fears G-D, does what is right by G-D. Sadly, that is not always right by flag.
To those who feel differently, all that can be said is that one day we will be judged by The One far greater than any of this.

I don't care what church he used to go to, all traitors need to be executed, there is nothing to discuss.
Yet we all applaud when Israel's Mossad took action in Uganda, Chile, Syria, and Iraq. How do you think they pull it off?
It's like wanting your cake and to eat it too, but then blame someone. I would rather be on the right side of right.
"some misguided sense of altruism and a desire to save the world from evil American troops."
What American troops do you think were involved? If anything he indirectly *saved* countless American lives as a result of his crimes.
I beg to differ ...
Shortly after Pollard began working at the NIS, he met Aviem Sella, an Israeli Air Force combat veteran who was at the time a graduate student at New York University, on leave from his position as Colonel in order to gain a master's in computer science. Within a few days, in June 1984, Pollard started passing classified information to Sella and received, in exchange, $10,000 cash and a very expensive diamond and sapphire ring, which Pollard later used to propose marriage to his girlfriend Anne. He also agreed to receive $1,500 per month for further espionage.
Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) investigator Ronald Olive has alleged that Pollard passed classified information to South Africa, and attempted, through a third party, to sell classified information to Pakistan on multiple occasions. Pollard also stole classified documents related to the People's Republic of China on behalf of his wife, who used the information to advance her personal business interests and kept them around the house, where they were discovered by investigating authorities when Pollard's espionage activity came to light.
During Pollard's trial, the government's memorandum in aid of sentencing challenges "defendant's claim that he was motivated by altruism rather than greed", asserting that Pollard had "disclosed classified information in anticipation of financial gain".
The government's investigation has revealed that defendant provided to certain of his acquaintances U.S. classified documents which defendant obtained through U.S. Navy sources. The classified documents which defendant disclosed to two such acquaintances, both of whom are professional investment advisers, contained classified economic and political analyses which defendant believed would help his acquaintances render investment advice to their clients... Defendant acknowledged that, although he was not paid for his unauthorized disclosures of classified information to the above-mentioned acquaintances, he hoped to be rewarded ultimately through business opportunities that these individuals could arrange for defendant when he eventually left his position with the U.S. Navy. In fact, defendant was involved in an ongoing business venture with two of these acquaintances at the time he provided the classified information to them ...
The full extent of the information he gave to Israel has still not been officially revealed. Press reports cited a secret 46-page memorandum, which Pollard and his attorneys were allowed to view. They were provided to the judge by Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, who described Pollard's spying as including, among other things, obtaining and copying the latest version of Radio-Signal Notations (RASIN), a 10-volume manual comprehensively detailing America's global electronic surveillance network.
Pollard used his courier position to demand the desired material for Israel rather than clandestinely acquire it. NCIS wrapped the documents Pollard requested, and he in turn passed them on to the Israelis. He would transfer the documents to suitcases, drop the documents off with the Israelis for copying, and retrieve whatever documents needed to be returned days later, along with orders for what types of information to get over the next week.
I rarely seek information from Wikipedia, but its article on Pollard seems fairly straightforward. It states that Pollard did not honor the terms of his plea agreement. Instead, he participated in interviews with Wolf Blitzer and others in which he discussed matters the plea agreement prohibited, all prior to his sentencing.
The article further states that the judge, having obtained the SecDef damage assessment, and not bound by the plea agreement, sentenced him to life.
Nonetheless, he will be paroled in November 2015.
The article does state that Clinton had worked out an agreement for Pollard's release, but that deal fell apart when the then-CIA director threatened to resign. Clearly, the CIA director, the SecDef and the sentencing judge know more about what Pollard did than has been made public, nor available to most elected officials.
Its a dirty business and who's to say that this information WAS NOT REALLY intentionally leaked to Israel under "deep cover" for "plausible deniability" under the guise of "national security" ...
Pollard's leak WAS NOT "authorized" or "sanctioned" ...
$10,000 and some rings...does that sound like a payday for a spy?
The judge stated that Pollard was an ideologue and didnt do it for the money.
This whole saga simply divides people who might otherwise agree on much more important issues; Pollard's defenders will use it as an excuse to accuse people of anti-Semitism (regardless of the merits of the case), while those who feel he should serve out his sentence will accuse his defenders of being "Israel-firsters" (regardless of the meris of the case). It is nothing but division, and serves no one in the end (including Pollard). If he is pardoned, it will almost assuredly be at the hands of a Dem president (as his defenders have pointed out here, with BJ Clinton).
I simply ignore it, and focus on more important things (and to both sides of the debate: there are more important things).
I'm not the one who thinks he was some altruistic superhero who was trying to save the world. I read that from some of the traitor's supporters. I'm the one who said that's a false image of him. He's a greedy traitor who sold (not gave away out of the goodness of his heart) information that put America at a disadvantage (not an advantage). He is not a modern day Audie Murphy. He's a traitor, and doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the average murderer, let alone the air of a free man.
You DON'T seem to grasp the fact tha what he did was TREASONOUS - it DOES NOT matter how MUCH or how LITTLE he took.
IT is NOT up to ANYONE [except the PROPER authorities] to decide what SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be disclosed to foreign governments, FRIEND or FOE.
The government ENTRUSTED documents to Pollard upon the ASSURANCE that they WOULD NOT be disclosed to unauthorized personnel. These, and OTHER documents [which he WAS NOT authorized to see] were STOLEN, COPIED, and then RETURNED in order to COVER UP the espionage. Then, the copies were transmitted to Israel.
It is NO DIFFERENT than Benedict Arnold giving up the plans for the defense of West Point during the Revolutionary War.
Anyway, the little weasel was selling classified information to countries like South Africa and Pakistan (and finally got nailed trying to sell to Australia - Australia!) because he needed the money to support his cocaine habit.
That greedy little scumbag is right where he belongs.
"put America at a disadvantage (not an advantage)."
How did he put American's at a disadvantage? Since you're calling for death, please show what harm he is accountable for.
Please also name the others jailed for espionage who you want sentenced to death...and then take that cause up somewhere else.
"It is NO DIFFERENT than Benedict Arnold giving up the plans for the defense of West Point during the Revolutionary War."
Only it's ENTIRELY different.
Are you arguing that the US arming it's allies enemies with chemicals is the same? Oh wow.
This is completely bogus.
Pollard was arrested for espionage in 1985.
Gas masks were distributed to the Israeli population during the Gulf war in 1991.
It was public knowledge that Saddam Hussein used poison gas against the Kurds in 1988, killing thousands of the inhabitants of the city of Halabja.
Thus the citizens of Israel had plenty of time to obtain gas masks before the Gulf War without any "warning" from Jonathan Pollard, who had been in jail for years.
It is also not plausible the Jonathan Pollard was the only source that the Mossad had for the information that Iraq was developing chemical weapons, even if such information was included somewhere among the millions of documents he stole.
How about if I post your home address and telephone number (for a fee), then you can tell me how that puts you at an advantage. Are you serious that you don't know how espionage against the United States by a member of our military is harmful to us? You really don't see any harm in that? Seriously? You need to outgrow the fantasy that he was selling our secrets, excuse me, giving our secrets away for free, because he was trying to save the world. He's a traitor.
"Whatever... It wasn't Pollard's job to determine (or undermine) US foreign policy."
Correct, and he did time for it, as he should.
However in retrospect, the information he passed on saved lives. It's only unfortunate he didn't act as a whistleblower instead.
By the way, since you didn't source your information - I'll help. You're repeating accusations which never saw trial, from the head of the team that put together the file on him. Most every elected official who has reviewed that file since has determined the matter was overblown and that he's served an above fair sentence and should be pardoned.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. And cry me a freakin' river while you are at it.
You JUST don't get it - so I suspect that you have NEVER held a TS/SCI clearance. There are things that you see and hear that properly should never see the light of day [as long as they are legal].
It is the bargain you make - you PROMISE NOT to disclose information to unauthorized personnel in exchange for the postion that the government entrusts you with ...
As far as death is concerned - Pollard COULD have faced the death penalty. The government CERTAINLY could have charged him with espionage - but it gave him the GIFT of a plea deal [the government had enough evidence to make the case].
I have NO DOUBT that this deal was GREATLY influenced by the Israeli government. BUT, the fact that Pollard WAS NOT charged with espionage DOEs NOT mean he didn't do it. The decision was made by the proper authorities and I must abide by its decision. Just as YOU must abide by the judge's sentence ...
He's gonna get out in four years, and then go to Israel, I'm sure. Quit your snivelling and whining about this.
GET OVER IT - and DEAL WITH IT ...
Enough psychobabble. Define how he put American troops in harms way.
By all accounts the intelligence breach involved Saddam's chemical program. Are you unable to figure out how that would have come back to haunt the US only 3 years after Pollard's sentencing, during the first Gulf War?
"Dont do the crime if you cant do the time."
He has done the time.
Jonathan Pollard - Israel - ife imprisonment

No different than if I sold the SIOP plan [of which I was privy to when I was in the Air Force] to the Israelis ...
He sold our secrets to foreign powers. Why do you continue to defend that? That's not psychobabble. It's the plain honest truth. He wasn't trying to save the world from us evil Americans. He was paid for his treason. That's just the truth.
"Quit your snivelling and whining about this."
Whining? Nobody is whining.
How about you stop grandstanding with your emotional arguments based on unsourced anecdotal accusations, because it's beginning to sound more and more like the thinly veiled hate that flooded the last thread on Pollard.
"He wasnt trying to save the world from us evil Americans."
You keep repeating this line, which proves you don't know anything about the case. It wasn't American interests that were considered a threat.
That said, in retrospect do you think Rumsfeld shaking hands with evil Saddam, and our arming of Iraq was a shining moment in our Countries history?

The Blue Ridge Parkway is more than a scenic drive – it is an American treasure.
As the most visited park in the National Park System, the Parkway is one of the grandest ways to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains, especially here in the Asheville area using the Dry Ridge Inn as base camp. The opportunities for fun are endless.
The Parkway took nearly 52 years to complete. In September of 1935, work began and ended near Cumberland Knob as part of President Roosevelt's new public works agencies, including the Work Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps. Twenty-six tunnels had to be constructed (25 of them in North Carolina) as well as 168 bridges and six viaducts. The Parkway was completed in 1987 with the construction of Linn Cove Viaduct, a complicated concrete bridge that wraps around a mountain.
In addition to the sweeping vistas of never ending mountain tops a closer view of the areas around the Parkway will reveal dozens of rare and endangered plants and birds, as well as wildlife such as deer, wild turkeys, and black bears.
Whether you visit the Parkway during the spring, summer, fall or winter, the diverse, native flowers in bloom and the bustling wildlife won't disappoint.
The Dry Ridge Inn is situated just off the Parkway in the small, friendly town of Weaverville. The Inn can be your base camp for exploring all the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. So come on out and enjoy our home and our magical mountains.

Rescue Princesses: The Secret Promise Sneak Peek
In The Secret Promise, Emily and her family are attending the grand Mistberg Ball. While she's there, Emily teams up with some new friends to rescue an injured deer. With that, the Rescue Princesses are created! Take an exclusive sneak peek below at a scene not included in the original book.
Two days after the ball, I longed to see the deer that my Rescue Princess friends Clarabel, Lulu, Jaminta, and I had rescued. I sneaked out of the castle and over to the garden shed where it was recovering. My heart thudded as I opened the shed door a tiny crack. I wondered if the deer would seem stronger today. Would it be able to stand up on its injured leg?
A rustling noise came from a dark corner at the back. My deer walked right up and looked at me with beautiful brown eyes. It tilted its head a little and one ear twitched. I knelt down to check on its leg and saw that the wound had healed up completely. I was so happy!
The deer nudged my shoulder playfully and trotted to the open doorway. It looked around shyly for a moment and then skipped across the vegetable patch. I was amazed at how gracefully it moved.
I called out, telling it to wait for me as I dashed from the shed. Unluckily, mean Queen Trudy was just coming around the corner. I crashed right into her, sending her tumbling into a row of cabbages.
I said I was sorry and then rushed off after the deer. I just hope Queen Trudy can get the cabbage stains out of her royal robes!
Want to meet the other Rescue Princesses and their pets? Meet Lulu from The Moonlight Mystery, Jaminta from The Stolen Crystals, and Clarabel from The Wishing Pearl.

Ok so I kinda got off topic in another thread but it got me interested in taking a closer look at the notion of "Winter Wars" and trying to see if it is real or if fan enthusiasm blew it out of proportion.
This is what I originally posted.
where in the manga is the winter war mentioned? I keep hearing about it but the only mention of a winter time frame is in the anime....which will clearly not cover that much plot in a couple of months. I Think the "Winter War" spoken of by the anime is the engagement in HM. Unless they are planning to pull a Trigun and spin the anime off the manga time line and take the story on its own....which would really suk.
I got this reply from moronic_badger
Originally Posted by moronic_badger View Post

So I went back into the manga and found this info
those are points from the anime...the only time frames spoken of in the manga are as follows:
ch.188 p.13 Isshin "very soon he will finish his studies and then hell lead an army of complete arankar"
ch. 223 p.13 : Yamamoto "opening the hougyoku's seal must have sent it into a 4 month hibernation."
ch.230 p.5 Ukitake "...four months...."
no mention of winter....and its been well over 4 months since the release of those chapters.
Any imput is welcome I would like to prove or disprove this and get any opinions on the topic.
just for giggles i figured out exactly how much of a lead the manga has on the anime
at a regular release rate.
usually 1 anime episode = 2 manga chapters
currently the manga is 57 chapters ahead of the anime plot
if there are no more filler episodes and we get a release every week it will take the anime 29 (28.5) episodes thats 7 months to catch up to where we are now.
That would put us well into spring (April)
By then the manga will still be 28 chapters/14 episodes ahead.

Won't be going back if that's what I'm paying £70 for.
Very quick response and swiftly fixed the problem.
Very quick response. Got the car in as soon as possible. Clear with pricing etc. and very helpful over the phone. Took the car in and job was done quicker than expected. Very efficient and no messing about. I will be using them again in the future. Thank you
The work was reasonably priced and Dave only did the work that was necessary after fully discussing with me first. I will be recommending this garage to friends.
Friendly and helpful. Dave found and fixed the problem the same morning. I am very happy.
On time, polite, and job well done.
Excellent service, price was as quoted... Would definitely recommend!
Although the original appointment time was missed, the guys completed the job very well. Great price and with them being mobile you have the convenience of not travelling and waiting in a garage reception. I even changed location on the day and they accommodated it with no fuss. Professional, polite and friendly. Recommended.
Booked for 9am, still had not showed up at 9:55am so cancelled as had to go to work. Extra star given as the comms on the job were really good, just a shame the mechanic didn't show up.
Highly Recomended
fab service, quick and efficient. had a quote in excess of £380 from a local garage, typed the problem in here and Brunel jumped in! the guys at Brunel did a great job for £140! will definitely be using them again.
Very happy with this garage. They changed the four spring coils in about 2 hours, they did the job very quick. Friendly and highly reccommended.
Great customer service. It was quick and a comprehensive service was carried out. Would recommend.
Great service and short wait. Checked tracking for free and fixed while I waited. Definitely recommend and will be going back again
Brunel tyres did a quick and professional job of replacing the clutch and flywheel. I was given plenty of info and shown the old parts which I appreciated. I was really surprised that they did this kind of work as I knew them mainly for tyres but the workmanship has been top class and the icing on top is that their quote was miles better than all the others, and that's with using top quality parts too. I did ask and check what parts they would use. I would highly recommend them for any car repairs and maintenance.
I am very happy i found bta garage. They do a properly job on my car. I recommend to everyone bta garage.
Friendly garage. Work was carried out quickly and seems to be of a high standard. Recommended. Thanks
Dealt with Raph who was very accommodating, driving in on his day off and garage closed to take my car and given hire car. That was a Sunday, dents done by Wednesday. I could only get there late about 7.30pm once again he stopped by garage late to do the swap over. Impressed with the quality so far and the price it ended at. Would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend them.

Two of the Oregon teen's 'friends' tipped police to his posted confession of DUI
An Oregon teenager was arrested in a hit-and-run case after informing friends on his Facebook page that he had struck a car on New Year's Eve while driving drunk, according to the Astoria police department.
The post by 18-year-old Jacob Cox-Brown also included an apology:
"Drivin drunk ... classic ;) but to whoever's vehicle i hit i am sorry. :P"
Police say two of Cox-Brown's 655 "friends" tipped police to his online confession, including one person who informed an officer with a private Facebook message.
Investigating officers who went to Cox-Brown's house found what police said was car with damage consistent with the hit-and-run case.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver, police said.

Enhance your modern look with a contemporary two-tone design! Crafted from platinum embraced and black rhodium embraced sterling silver, the ring shines with one round brilliant cut 7mm mocha simulated diamond in a bezel setting and various round brilliant cut 1mm white simulated diamonds in prong settings.
Click here to find your ring size.
Part of the Brilliante ® Collection. Made in China.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

I hope they hold up as well as the last Kamik boots I bought cause there are other brands that barely last a winter and have holes in them that I've bought in the past.

My son's new favorites cold weather shoes
"Since these are for my preschooler, I cannot try them on myself, so I will just go off my observation of the product. The wooly inserts seem like they would be really warm, and although there isn't a side opening or laces, my son had no trouble putting these on all by himself. They're a bit heavy and not very flexible, but that's what I was expecting in a snow boot anyway. These could also be used as rain boots."

Tuning me out can be expensive
Jenny was giving our son Joe some tips about driving in the dark to and from Oxford, where she teaches fourth grade and he commutes to Ole Miss.
"Get behind a truck and stay there," she said. "Just stay in your lane and don't pass; that way, you're not likely to hit a deer."
"But trucks throw rocks and you may get your windshield broken," I said. "It's better to not follow trucks."
Jenny said something about how she had driven up and down Highway 30 for more than two years and hadn't gotten her windshield broken.
That was several weeks ago. Last week she called me late in the afternoon as she was leaving school in Oxford.
"You're going to be mad," she said. "I came out to my car and the windshield is cracked."
When she got home, I checked it out. The passenger side of the windshield had a crack about 18 inches long.
"It's definitely from a rock," Greg Richey said, when I took the car by his shop the next day. "You can see the pit where the rock hit."
Twenty-four hours and $212.93 later, the car was as good as new.
Well, as new as a 2008 Altima is going to be with a new windshield.
Jenny was prepared. Before I could say "I told you so," she announced that at least she had not done $8,000 damage to a new car by running into a pole in a city parking lot.
I had.
Anyhow, my wife complains that I sometimes talk to her like she's one of my children, with lots of do's and don'ts. So she rebels and tunes me out.
There has been a time or two when I wish she hadn't.
The family favorite was a couple of years after we got married.
We were living in a two-story house in South Carolina and had a walk-in attic over the garage. Only the center portion of the attic was covered by plywood.
Every time she would head to the attic, I would caution her not to step off the plywood or she would fall through the sheetrock into the garage.
One night when I got home from work, there were two big holes in the garage ceiling.
"I took a step back while I was moving something in the attic," she said.
Luckily, when she stepped off the plywood, she straddled a ceiling joist, which kept her from falling all the way to the garage floor.
Another time, also in South Carolina, I told her she had gotten way too close to the garage-door frame when she pulled her car into the garage.
"Be careful backing out or you're going to clip the side of the garage," I said.
She gave me that look and said, "How stupid do you think I am?" as she went out the door.
Two minutes later, I heard the sound of breaking glass. Yep, she had scraped the car's rear fender on the door frame and busted the tail light.
I kept my mouth shut.
We don't have to worry about hitting the garage-door frame here in New Albany. There's so much stuff piled in the garage, there's no room for a car.
Problem solved.

Masculine sex ratios, population age structure and the potential spread of HIV in China
|Date received:
|26 Nov 2007
|Date published:
|14 Jan 2010
|Word count:
|AIDS/HIV, China, migration, modelling, sex ratios, sexual behavior
There is much speculation regarding the contribution of China's changing demography to the spread of HIV/AIDS. We employ a bio-behavioral macrosimulation model of the heterosexual spread of HIV/AIDS to evaluate the roles that China's unique demographic conditions -- (1) masculine sex ratios at birth and (2) a population age structure that reflects rapid fertility decline since the 1970's -- play in altering the market for sexual partners, thereby potentially fueling an increase in behaviors associated with greater risk of HIV infection. We first simulate the relative contributions of the sex ratio at birth and the population age structure to the oversupply of males in the market for sexual partners and show that the sex ratio at birth only aggravates the severe oversupply of males which is primarily a consequence of the population age structure. We then examine the potential consequences of this demographic distortion for the spread of HIV infection and show that, to the extent that males adapt to the dearth of suitable female partners by seeking unprotected sexual contacts with female sex workers, the impact of the oversupply of males in the sexual partnership market on the spread of HIV will be severe.

A pie in the sky?
If the Soul King himself who has this power is not God, then how could Aizen be God? Or is he trying to say that by ruling the Universe that Aizen would be like God? While The SK who already has the Title of King refuses to Rule that self-same universe.
This is quite incompatible with the story first told us by Yamamoto Genrusai, who plainly states that the ORIGINAL King's Key was made the Same way Aizen wants to make his own, Unless of course it means that The Soul King Gained the power to make a Kings Key by Destroying thousands of soul in a Soul Rich Square Mile (or whatever the Area was). Also in the original reference, a diagram of a key was shown and the impression was heavily made that it was an actual physical Key.
Soul King Slumber
The SK may well have been asleep, but this just reminds me of a Guy I used to hear about way back (Trust an Old Guy like me to remember even Older Guys, LOL)
Anyone of you heard about Edgar Cayce? He used to be known as The Sleeping Prophet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce..."Cayce's methods involved lying down and entering into a sleep state, usually at the request of a subject who was seeking help with health or other personal problems........."
I am convinced that The SK, having left SS so long ago, is not just Vegging away in sleep. I think he has extreme Psychic/Psionic Powers. I think he leaves most governing to SS and Room 46, but where he sees or foresees events that are beyond SS or Room 46 to handle, he seeks out exceptional individuals and sets them on a path to head off the dangers.
I tend to think Urahara's big splash in Reiyoku was because he is indeed an exceptional Shinigami, a Scientist (who Aizen acknowledged as His intellectual rival), a very powerful Shinigami, and most importantly an honest and incorruptible man who wants no Power or Glory for himself.
As Zero suggested, Urahara May have been born in Reyoku, but even if he wasn't, he's obviously admired by Division Zero and spent quite some time in Reiyoku.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Well Urahara could of also known all the Squad 0 guys before when they were captains, seems like they developed these impressive techniques and then were brought up to the Soul King Realm instead of developing them up there. Which would explain how he was known by them as well as copied/modified their developments. I just don't know how he would of known anything about the SK unless he was personally visited by the SK. I could understand if they wanted to bring him into the Squad 0 company and thats how he got to see the king but then how would Aizen of seen him? Aizen doesn't have anything original to his name that Urahara didn't do first, and why would squad 0 want sloppy seconds? Plus Aizen wanted to kill the SK so if he was invited up there he had a perfect opportunity and nothing seems to have happened from it.
IDK. I think that the SK showed himself to those 2 personally or somehow presented himself to them seeing as they were of particular importance to the story and SS, so he gave them a message or something lol. Urahara took it well and Aizen took it badly.
A pie in the sky?
^ No, Urahara couldn't have met the RG members when they were in SS (he could only meet them in SK's realm), beside Hikifune, who Urahara replaced as a Captain, since Hikifune is the newest member of the RG (the second newest member seems to be the other woman, since it seems that Kurotsuchi knows her personally, or that Kurotsuchi is as old if not older than Yamamoto). Urahara (as well as Tessei) was adopted (or rather taken care off) by the Shihoin family and he was actually playing with Yoruichi when they were young and of similar age (especially in the playground that he made just for the two of them), thus he couldn't have been alive 1000 years ago (the Quincy attack might be the reason why SK have moved to another dimension).
Of course there is a possibility that one of Kirinji's hot springs were left somewhere in SS and it is that what Urahara were analyzing, but this doesn't explain how Urahara was able to see the SK that only resides in the Soul Palace within the Soul King's Realm.
Zero's arguments are quite persuasive, but even if Urahara never met the Zero Div. Captains 1000yrs ago, I still think he has met them since. Urahara saw the Soul King, that is implied from his exchange with Aizen, and if Kiringi had left a healing spring behind, then Div 4 would be pretty silly not to use it. I believe that Urahara went to SK Realm, could be he accompanied the former Captain of 12th Div. or some other time.
Changing the topic to Ichigo himself, I wonder if Ichigo has any need for a mask, and if he did use a mask, he would have essentially no time limit on its use. I say this because it is now clear that Ichigo's Hollow is perfectly blended with his Shinigami power, and OMZ is no longer interfering with him. In essence Ichigo is full-time Hollow Shinigami mix, and Aizen's Ideal of breaking down the barrier between Hollow and Shinigami is now a complete success through Ichigo.
Another thought is that When Ichigo entered the FGT form, Tensa OMZ and Hichigo blended themselves together, this gave Ichigo full access to all his powers and allowed him to overpower Aizen. In theory at least Ichigo should go back to being as powerful as he was then, of course spending time in the Cleaner's dimension also aged Ichigo abit, hence he had grown taller and had longer hair when he emerged. The point is that his physical maturity at this point is less than it was before when he went FGT, so Kubo could de-power him a little based on that.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
^ Ichigo will probably be stronger than the pre-FGT-state, since everyone grows stronger by simply breathing the air and eating the food very rich in spiritual particles in the SK's Realm, plus they seemingly will have other kinds of training, more proper Asauchi so that they can manifest their Zanpakutou even more fully, better clothes?, spiritual bodies devoid of any corruptions, seriously they will rock, that is why I expect to see Quincy using Bankais and QFM together, by absorbing them into their Final Holy Modes.
In a way, Grimjow's Resurrection and Ichigo's FGT Mode are very like, since they basically equip their swords like armors, with minor changes to their physical appearance (Grimjow gain claws and feet like panther, while Ichigo's eyes become deep red and his hair become black and long, actually mimicking Bach). It's possible that while it was limited, his Bankai only integrated with his clothes (beside the blade), but now that it is fully released, it's possible that in Bankai, one of his sword will fuse with his body, while the other one will change shape according to his new form (he will be clad in power regardless).
I'm actually wondering if Ichigo will still have the Blood Powers, but seeing as Ichigo call them borrowed Powers, he might not get them.
I started wondering about Aizen's Zan, mainly if it isn't perhaps a plot-hole, or Aizen lied again, or there is other explanation. From what we know, Aizen's Shikai can freely manipulate the 5 senses (it is one of the 3 known Zan's to have powers to manipulate senses), that leaves the 6th being free, along with the 7th that allows one to sense other's spiritual pressure (there might be more depending on how one divides them), thus, even if the 5 senses were fooled, the target still should be able to pinpoint Aizen's exact location by sensing his spiritual pressure.
One of the possible explanations, is that Aizen is very, very good at hiding his pressure (quite probable after what he showed), it would also be in accordance to what Yamamoto was saying about clearly feeling his reiatsu when touching his arm, but the problem is, that he was also touching Aizen's Zan, thus the powers of his Shikai were already dispelled.
Besides Ichigo there's also that beast Kenpachi, his gonna be making a lot more shish kebabs this time around.

Black Box: OZQoC Charts
Robert Vollman
September 12 2011 08:57AM
An OZQoC Chart, pronounced "Oz-Coke" is a visual representation of the situations in which a team's players are used. By combining the following two statistics, a player's role can be determined at a glance, providing the valuable context in which his other statistics can be studied. Quite frankly, it is a necessary first step before any other statistic is even mentioned, which is why it will be the first part of our weekly Black Box statistical summaries this season.
OZ refers to Offensive Zone Starts – the percentage of a player's shifts that begin in the offensive zone at even strength, not counting on-the-fly changes. Naturally most players will hover around 50% but in extreme cases, like the Vancouver Canucks for instance, players like Manny Malhotra could be as low as 30% so that the Sedin twins can start 70% of their shifts facing the opposing goalie.
A high offensive zone start percentage says that your coach either doesn't trust you in your own zone, or that he really wants your offensive talents in the offensive zone as much as possible – or both. It is very important when looking at shot-based metrics, since starting in the offensive zone a lot will artificially bloat your numbers.
QoC refers to Quality of Competition, or Relative Quality of Competition to be exact. This is simply the average plus/minus of your opponents per 60 minutes, except instead of using goals, it uses a shot-based metric called Corsi, and recorded relative to one's teammates. A high QoC of 1.00 means the players that skater typically faces generate one more attempted shot per 60 minutes than their opponents, on average. The top players all have high Quality of Competition, because generally top lines face other top lines.
Check out the OZQoC charts generated for the Winnipeg Jets, Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers and Columbus Blue Jackets to get a sense of the various OZQoC Chart formats, and we'll look at Calgary's right after the jump.
Here is the OZQoC Chart for all Calgary Flames defensemen who played at least 15 games last year (so no T.J. Brodie or Derek Smith).
If you draw a line from the top-right corner to the bottom-left you generally get a linear idea of who gets the toughest ice-time.
There's no question that Jay Bouwmeester gets the toughest ice-time, and in Robyn Regehr's absence, next is Scott Hannan, Cory Sarich, Chris Butler, Mark Giordano and Brett Carson in a pretty tight cluster. After that you get Brendan Mikkelson, the unsigned Steve Staios, Clay Wilson and finally Anton Babchuk bringing up the far rear.
Consequently, Bouwmeester's accomplishments should be held in higher esteem, and Anton Babchuk's virtually dismissed, and with knowledge of the two separate tiers of defensemen in between.
Here are the Flames forwards, with a minimum 12 games so we can include Guillaume Desbiens, but not Raitis Ivananas, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond-LePew, or Paul Byron.
With the exception of fourth-line players like Tim Jackman and Tom Kostopoulos, coach Brent Sutter doesn't specialize the lines, essentially throwing them all into equivalent situations. That makes it easier to compare their statistics on a generally equal basis, knowing that very few players have the advantage of easier ice-time.
Olli Jokinen, Brendan Morrison, Rene Bourque, Jarome Iginla, Curtis Glencross, Alex Tanguay and David Moss all played comparably-difficult even-strength ice-time, with Niklas Hagman and Matt Stajan not far behind.
It will be interesting to see how Sutter uses Lee Stempniak, who is used to being assigned a role where he plays the tougher minutes to create more favourable match-ups for the top units. It will also be interesting to see if Mikael Backlund remains sheltered, or eases into the same role as the others.
Next week
With this context in mind, we'll look at the even-strength goal, shot and scoring chances differentials per 60 minutes, knowing that Bouwmeester's are going to be like a car's sideview mirror, and his numbers are actually better than they appear.
September 12 2011, 08:14PM
Absolutely. It will be fun to watch the OZQoC chart change throughout the season.
I'd really like to see this through out the season. Are you planning on doing this?
September 12 2011, 09:15AM
The viasual representation helps a lot I think. You really get a feel for the difference between Babchuk's ice and Bouwmeester's for instance.
The forward deployment is almost certain to be the same this year now that Langkow is gone. Backlund or someone may move up the rotation a bit but I imagine both top-two lines will more or less share the heavy lifting.
This is very cool Rob.
In looking at the forward data, does anyone else get the feeling that the season data is masking within season trends? Recollection is a fickle thing but I felt like Iginla-Tanguay-acceptable centre got tougher assignments earlier in the season (in both QoC and OZ) but got easier ice time later in the season. Conversely, I thought Jokinen, Moss and maybe Glencross saw their ice time get tougher later in the season.
This wouldn't affect the overall correction on evaluating last season, but I think it is a trend to keep an eye out for (if it existed and is not just my imagination).
September 12 2011, 12:02PM
Yeah, that's part of the reason Rob's going to do weekly updates for us - so we can get a feel for how the landscape changes as the year goes on. At the end, we should have a map for scoring chances, possession and context of ice time to draw from.
September 13 2011, 09:15AM
Rob's going to do weekly stats collations and updates for us.

|5| Excellent
|4| Good
|3| Average
|2| Bad
|1| Terrible
Felt like it's kinda short. Oh well, at least Franky was just badass.
sig made by me
chapter was pretty good
monet referring doflamingo as young lord he maybe linked to the nobels
Franky was pretty badass and being considered a threat by baby 5 and buffalo
posibility whole crew might be gased and end up like kinemon and may be saved by franky as well as saving monet
Wow. Joker couldn't ask for better subordinates. Interesting to see that he's just gonna wipe the whole slate clean, since he can always rebuild again if he has Caesar. Even at the expense of murdering innocent children.
Those Monet for next Nakama theories are certainly looking kinda bleak now. lol.
Franky had better walk away from his little skirmish in one piece. That shouldn't have been nearly enough to hurt him.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Awesome color page!
Chapter felt short, maybe it's the balance of the scenes.
First she turns into an Espada and then she turns into Torpedo Girl? HAHAHA XD, love it, almost feels like a multi anime crossover. As for Monet, this next chapter will decide what happens with her. If she presses the button, bad news for everyone, and if she doesn't, well then she will still be useful for someone else, I wonder who XD.
Love how well Baby 5 and Buffalo work together BTW.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
My thoughts off Franky getting his ass handed to him are gone.
Wow bad ass, and that in his ''general'' form only, Curious if he is stronger without it.
But holding his own against not one but even two members off Jokers crew is Impressive, Franky has indeed improved a lot!
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
Damn, awesome chapter. Three color pages in a row, but his last one definitely takes it though. Akainu looks much more threatening with a mustache and curious if the top left, black tint panel is Kaido......
Felt short like Arbitrary stated. Hopefully we get one more chapter before the new year break; I didn't see notice as to this week's chapter signaling a break, so fingers crossed we'll have one more high impact chapter.
Franky thankfully held his own. He better not have been one shotted by that explosion. Sort of disappointed that he doesn't fight more without the Franky Shogun, though I understand in this case it is protecting him from Shinokuni.
I forgot Caesar had Smoker's heart! Once again another twist. However, I haven't forgotten that Law supposedly has Monet's heart, which in light of her new revelation of blowing up PH, should play into how her decision plays out. At least she's alive
EDIT: Actually, Caesar doesn't have Smoker's heart. He has Monet's. Make's perfect sense. Now Caesar thinks he is going to be killing Smoker as he is crushed beneath the tanker but really it'll be Monet ( :'( ), thus foiling the destruction of PH plan. I just got this rereading the chapter.

What is with the hot temps in California??? LOL I'll be down there in a month and my g'pa says it only gets worse where he is (GrassValley, CA) in August!
How the heck do you people stand it????
What is with the hot temps in California??? LOL I'll be down there in a month and my g'pa says it only gets worse where he is (GrassValley, CA) in August!
How the heck do you people stand it????
Well, here in SD is not nearly as bad as many of the more inland areas of California, but today, we have this GLOOOOOOOOOOOORIUS breeze coming out of somewhere and after 5 days of near psychosis (I do NOT do heat/humidity combinations well at all) I feel like the monkey in those Sierra Mist commercials where they catapult him off the seesaw into the pond and he comes up singing opera. Long may it last. I cannot HANDLE feeling like a boiled cauliflower all the time. I'm only half-joking when I say I was seriously thinking of hoofing it to Alaska for a few weeks, lol.
if you don't like Humidity, you wouldn't like much of Alaska LOL
It's been so stinkin muggy... but we're only about half of what you all are down there
Our high yesterday didn't even hit the low in Grass Valley lol
I can take the humidity without the heat, or the heat without the humidity. Both? Too much of that and just put me in the [better be air-conditioned] asylum.
At least the air particles in my apartment (which does NOT have air conditioning, hence the problem) have finally MOVED AROUND for the first time in about 10 days....
My best friend's first apartment in Portland had no AC and we went from our comfy 60 degree Alaskan style heat to Portlands overly humid 90+ degree heat... it was INSANE! Thankfully I got to fly home a week after moving her in lol
she assures me her apartment she has now has AC... and it better or I'm going to hop a plane home and we can forget our trip from her house to my g'pas lol
I also live close to the beach (in Ventura, CA), but this past weekend, my husband and I went to walk at about 8:30 a.m. at the beach itself -- but there was no breeze -- so it felt like it was 90 degrees. When we get a breeze, it is tolerable, but otherwise -- yeech!Originally Posted by JonnyCoop
well you all just figure out ways to keep cool
I was listening to K-Love today and they reported that much of CA has been told to conserve energy and as such they shouldn't put the AC below 82 degrees!!!! That would be unbearable to me!
I had no a/c when I lived in Portland, either, but it was nothing like what we had (the cooling trend seems to be continuing); then again, I was in an a/c'd office from 7 to 5 every day, too. Probably the reason I wasn't nearly so flippy up there.
Down here, we run our air conditioners day and night. Right now it's about 84.
Had 100 today but last week had 110, etc. Seemed more humid today too.
Trouble is the cost of electricity. Last month I was lucky and it was only $250. It used to run about $400 a month but rates have gone up and am afraid when I get my next bill it will be a lot more. Trouble is, I need it to be no more than 73. That is an improvement as before it was more like 68 or 69, :frown2:
Grgranny, DEFINITELY!
I live in inland LA to be exact, you just learn to deal with it, and try not to take it out on other people! it had been around 100+ for the last few days. Suddenly, on Sunday, the temp droped to about 80! I was jumping up and down for joy for the light 85F and muggy temp we had! It was about the same today too. It has been very humid since Saturday. Supposely the temp will go down this week. I think the slight rain on Sunday on a few places has helped a LOT.
there has been a LOT of blackouts. not where i live, but about 10 minutes south of where i live there were blackouts sunday, and some monday as well. people were just getting angry with the whole not having electricity thing. i don't have AC in my place, and i have learned to deal with using fans, drink lots of water, keep my place shaded with curtain, and just take lots of showers! not much is there to do unless you go somewhere that has AC, but once you go, you realize everyone is over there!
I live near the coast and it's just as bad. I was at the Santa Monica pier, and it was still over 95° even though it was cloudy. It felt like the clouds were holding in all the humidity.Originally Posted by babyoscar
