Love Em!
"I love these shoes and get compliments all the time when I wear them. The go with everything I own, and are actually pretty cozy. The only problem I have with them is that the piece that goes between the toes is a little thicker than most, so it takes a little getting used to. They dont rub my feet anywhere, and the padding is really soft."

Best sandals ever
"Love these sandals....they are comfortable and very cute. The colors are amazing and I would absolutely buy them again if they had another great color combo. I didn't like the look of the black. Would recommend to a friend and I have gotten many complements on them."

On March 22 and 23, Emery High hosted a High School Softball Tournament. A week before it started, my sister called. She has a daughter who plays on the softball team. She said they didn't have enough money in their budget for a motel and asked if they could stay at my house so they wouldn't have to drive back and forth after playing so late. I told her they could stay and asked how many there would be. She told me there were 19 girls and four coaches.
We were looking at this as an adventure. You need to do your part to help the schools and their activities, I told my husband. As we know, everytime we turn around, they are cutting something from the schools in the budget.
Well, the weekend finally got here. Here they all came, bringing in their sleeping bags and luggage. Upstairs half went and half downstairs. They picked up after themselves. My house was just as clean when they left as when they got here. These girls were so well mannered and polite. Everytime I turned around, someone was thanking me.
For 19 young girls, I was very impressed. Everything went in an order. They were all ready and left in time for the games. They worked very well together on and off the field. We took pictures and will be remembering this for a long time to come. All of these girls and coaches of the West High Girl's Softball Team can come back next year. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am very proud of all these young ladies and wish them good luck.

Dangle's Cards: Junior Hockey Memories
Steve Dangle
September 27 2012 12:09PM
Yesterday was supposed to be the Leafs' preseason game in London, Ontario taking on the Philadelphia Flyers. Alas, there is a lockout...
Junior hockey isn't locked out, though. For today's hockey card giveaways, let's take a stroll down junior hockey memory lane.
2007 World Juniors gold medal game... Jonathan Toews goes 3 for 3 in the shootout, with three different moves, and then drops the f-bomb on national TV. Attaboy Jonathan
I, erm, just one? I refuse.
One of them was when I was just a young whippersnapper, at St. Mike's on Bathurst and St. Clair. The Majors were down two with under a minute to go against the Battalion. In a flurry of amazement they were able to score two goals, the second sending me into a haze of euphoria and awesomeness. Unfortunately that happiness was drowned out when the Battalion scored in OT with 0.4 seconds to go. So, yeah that was pretty memorable.
Another came the same series, Windsor-Barrie. I was working in the Rogers truck for games 1 and 2 (wish there was more). It was very cool being able to be in attendance for an OHL final, just too bad the Colts couldn't have done a little better.
My brother does camera work for the niagara ice dogs games and he got me in for free! And it was an amazing game too. Cards!!!!!
September 27 2012, 12:35PM
Best memory was Kyle Schmidt's OT goal to win Minnesota Duluth their 1st NCAA national championship PS : Flyers fan here gimme the Coburn rookie :P lol
My favourite memory would have to be in Guelph when it was Kitchener and Guelph playing and this was right after Steve Downie was traded to the Rangers, they were losing and off the face-off Downie lost it jumping the guelph guy and throwing stuff on the ice after, he ended up getting 10 games for that
September 27 2012, 12:52PM
1960 Exhibition game, Brockville Junior Canadians (Bobby Rousseau, Keth Macreary, Jacques Laperierre, Harold White, Gilles Francoueur, etc) are playing th Toronto Marloboros. Marlies big bad guy, Roger Cote picks up Macreary carries him across the ice and dumps him in the penalty box! definitely worth a card!
My favorite Junior Hockey moment is going to the the last Lowell Devils (AHL) game. The moved to albany after that season. The great thing about that game if the Devils score 3 or more goals, all the fan got a free slice of pizza. I dont remember if they ever did because there were so many more promotions around the arena it was hard to keep track of if you won something. After the game you could see everyone walking out with a picture,foam fingers,sticks,pucks, or something they won that night. I wish I got a slice....
My favourite junior moment was Tyler Carroll of the Guelph Storm killing a 5-on-3 against the Kitchener Rangers on Friday, December 19/10. He blocked 3 shots off both ankles to kill the penalty.
my favourite jr hockey moment is more of a conglomerate of many. growing up i spent a lot (A LOT)of time around my hometown jr D (now a jr c)hockey team. my older brother played for the team, my dad managed & did the announcing and my mom was on the executive as secretary (my parents continued on their roles long after my bro's tenure w/ the team).
games, practices, fundraisers, travelling on the bus with the team, community events, end of the year banquets ..my pop thinking it particularly hilarious [along w/ the other bajillion people in attendance] to mention my pre-teen crush on one particular player whilst introducing each member of the team at one of said banquets..
and though i had my own hockey teams and various other interests, it's still pretty amazing to look back now and realise just how much jr hockey (even if it was jr D hockey) coloured my entire childhood with some of my very fondest memories.

07' memorial cup in Vancouver. Med hat vs Vancouver. This moment is sometimes refered to as "the MVP shift" where milan Lucic runs over two med hat players, the drops the mits in his very first shift of the game. I had never seen a crowd go more crazy then at that moment. It fired up the crowd, and the team, and this shift played a huge part in Lucic winning MVP of the mem cup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5OJ1O25r_8
September 27 2012, 02:11PM
My favorite junior hockey moment is a tie. #1 was being in the John Labatt Centre when the Knights won game 5 of the OHL Championships last year. That is the LOUDEST i have ever heard a group of people. When Scott Harrington cleared the puck and Houser threw up his hands i thought the place was coming DOWN! #2 was a couple weeks later in Shawinnegan when myself and my cousin were standing outside the ticket office in our knights jerseys having just been told we didn't have tickets to the SHA vs. LDN round robin game and Shawinnegan season ticket holder came up and gave us, for free, two tickets. Junior hockey fans are the BEST fans in the world. The Knights got shelled but we had a great time.
September 27 2012, 02:13PM
my favorite junior hockey memory is an FHL one. This is only the third FHL season this year, and for the first two years there was a team here in Brooklyn (why they moved, i'll never know) but I went to their only home playoff game last year (it was a best of three series) and it was one of the best games I had ever been too. I was surrounded by people who were all fans of different NHL teams, but we all got together for Brooklyn, we were all loud and excited. Even though they lost in OT, I had so much fun.
September 27 2012, 02:17PM
My favorite moment has gotta be the 2010 world juniors game between usa and canada. It was hands down one of the best games i have ever seen. IN the 1s period even 2 2 and in 2nd period 1 1 and 3rd period 2 2. Just awesome back and forth play constantly just answering each other. and finally with a handful of minutes gone by in ot usa d man John Carlson rips one in for the crazy win in OT. And john carlson has had a great career since going on his 4th year with the caps.
My favourite memory was memory was a couple years ago at a Mississauga St. Michael's Game when they were hosting the Niagra Ice Dogs. There were tonnes of Ice Dogs fans at the game since they used to play in the Hershey centre. Anyways, Majors won the game 10-1 and it was the first blow-out hockey score game which I attended. Also had awesome seats right behind the goal.
This Russian kid Kitsyn who's an LA prospect was awesome to watch. Also it was hilarious to see the Ice Dogs team, it basically looked like Dougie Hamilton + 5 scrub dmen. Anyways, Majors were a good team to watch that year though they came up short in the OHL final and the Mem Cup final.
Btw if you're covering the Steelheads then can you ask around to see if the team has any plans for getting a set of team issued hockey cards at their fan shop?

The Jordan Eberle goal at the world juniors.
September 27 2012, 02:22PM
I have to go with Eberle in the 2010 World Juniors, when he scored that 5-5 tying goal against the US. The guy is just amazing in general, but especially when he plays for Canada. He just makes things happen out there.
September 27 2012, 02:22PM
sick goal by the way overtime and everything
September 27 2012, 02:26PM
Have to agree eberle goal was sick
September 27 2012, 02:34PM
My favoorite Junior Hockey memory was my first NCAA game it was great because I have a second home in Lake Michigan in Indiana and It's amazing how you could capture such great hockey in such small town (South Bend).
Taking the weird/offbeat route, my favourite junior hockey memory came at the CHL top prospects game two years ago (tickets courtesy of Monika). The best thing I took away from the event was Nuge nearly dropping the trophy he was awarded post-game.
Nice hands there, kid.
September 27 2012, 03:11PM
Gotta be when I played in the timbits game with the Mississauga Icedogs (yes the MISSISSAUGA Ice dogs) and i remember it was Don Cherry's dog Blue who was the mascott and he set me up on a beautiful breakaway pass in which i tripped on the blue line and the other team took the puck. Those were the days.
September 27 2012, 03:12PM
Don't really have one, the only one I can think of was Jordan Eberle's goal.
September 27 2012, 03:38PM
Seeing my beloved Kitchener Rangers beat the Storm 7-1 two years ago, the storm had 16 penalty minutes in the last 5 minutes of the third...my voice was completely shot by the end of it, as was everyone else's in in Aud.
September 27 2012, 04:11PM
I think it was last years World Juniors where Russia was destroying the Canadians but the Canadians still climbed back eventually losing. Even though they lost, the way they came back was amazing and I'll never forget it.
P.S Sorry for the unoriginality, I'm young so I can't remember much
September 27 2012, 04:41PM
My first blades game when Dalton Thrower fought somebody an punched him until his face exploded with blood. Great game
my favorite jr memory has to be the eberle tying goal in the last 8 seconds that was simply amazing
September 27 2012, 05:00PM
My favourite junior hockey moment was my first OHL game. I saw the local Oshawa Generals play. I was pretty young so I don't remember much. I do remember the crowd was pretty excited, the game featured a fight, and the Generals won in overtime.
It was my first hockey game I went to and before I was the loyal fan I am today.
September 27 2012, 05:44PM
My WHL moment was I went to a Giants it went to a shootout and the Giants won on a Brendan Gallagher shot. And they went to the playoffs a couple of days later.
September 27 2012, 05:57PM
It was an OHL game I believe it was 2007. Oshawa Generals vs Owen Sound Attack at GM Centre (my first and only OHL game I've attended) The Attack jump out to a 5-0 lead until...John Tavares puts the team on his back and scored 2 as well as adding a few assists in an 8-5 Generals victory.
My favourite would have to be a Oshawa game vs Erie in 08, when Oshawa was destroying them like 5-0 in the 2nd so they pulled their goalie (can't remember who it was) but the backup was even worse and let in like 3 goals on 5 shots, so the first goalie was put back in. At this point the fans started chant the name of the goalie non-stop for the last 15 minutes of the game. Historical. My boy Johnny Tavares was hot that night, think he had 4 and something like 6 points. (@Goonersaurus_)
September 27 2012, 06:27PM
Jordan Eberles goal vs Russia in the wjhc with 6 seconds to go to tie the game and eventualy win the game.
September 27 2012, 06:48PM
My favorite was watching Jonathon Toews score 3 times in the shootout at the world juniors in 2007. So great!
September 27 2012, 06:55PM
I remember watching Nazem Kadri play in the World Juniors on TV right after the Leafs drafted him and it was pretty cool because he had a nasty goal and I went nuts.
September 27 2012, 07:18PM
Hey Steve,
My favourite memory is my very first toronto maple leafs game when i was 10 years old with my uncle on my birthday and it was against the New York Islanders. I dont remember much about the game but i do remember how excited i was! they ended up losing 4-3 in overtime. Oh and i caught a t-shirt!!
September 27 2012, 07:28PM
My favourite junior hockey memory came on New Year's Eve, 2009. My father and I were given tickets to see the epic clash between Team Canada and Team USA at Scotiabank Place! Needless to say, we were both very excited. On top of that, I was only 13 at the time and had never experienced international competition live. We arrived at the arena and began looking for our seats when we discovered that the two tickets we were given were for the Smirnoff 'Coolest Seats in the House'. Instead of the usual hardened plastic, we got to watch the game in leather recliners, with the luxury of a private television and plenty of leg room. The game went on to be one of the greatest games ever played. Team USA jumoed out ot an early 3-0 lead, but Canada fought back and eventually won 7-4. John Tavares had the hat trick, and my father and I got to see every single goal live. It was fantastic. The atmosphere was undescribable, and was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I went home smiling. I don't think I stopped smiling until the next week.
September 27 2012, 07:52PM
My favourite memory has to be watching the newest captain of the Colorado Avalanche Gabriel Landeskog play for the Kitchener Rangers
September 27 2012, 08:04PM
The first Kitchener Rangers game my dad and I went to when I was a kid would be my favourite junior memory. It ignited a love for junior hockey for me, although my team has since changed. Go Knights!
September 27 2012, 08:22PM
My favorite junior hockey moment was first discovering junior hockey at a very young age. Of course it was easy to hear about the NHL and all the professional teams, but you could imagine my confusion when a player on my team got sent to the "minors" which I thought was just a really fancy way of saying they fired him and sent him to work at a grocery store until he proved he could play hockey again.
Why it was specifically a grocery store, I'll never know.
Living in the Windsor area, I saw my fair share of Spitfire games from when they were the best Canadian junior hockey team two years running. By far the greatest memory I had wasn't the two Memorial Cup wins, but their comeback win against the Kitchener Rangers in the 2010 OHL Western Conference final after falling down three games to zero.
September 27 2012, 09:07PM
My favorite junior moment was when I was at a Pats game against the Tigers and they were doing the 3 stars. Etem was one of the stars. When he came out he had his hand at his ear like saying I can't hear you. So someone threw a snowcone at him. Then he wiped it off of the Tigers logo like the team was all that!
September 27 2012, 09:35PM
My favourite OHL memory goes back to the last game Mississauga played as the St Mike Majors. Not so much for the result (they lost) but for the intensity, excitement and drama of a Game 6 playoff game. All the scoring was done in the 2nd period with the teams sharing 4 goals including a SH and PP effort in two minute bursts. My abiding memory was the exceptional level of goaltending on both teams as they combined for 82 saves. Even the OT winner by Barrie was controversial, leading to a game misconduct for Majors goalie Maxwell!
September 27 2012, 09:51PM
My favorite junior hockey moment was at an AJHL game with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons.
Favourite Junior memory has to be at the Windsor vs. Brampton OHL final game a couple of years ago where I saw Burke, Nonis and Fletcher
Gotta go with John Carlson's golden goal for Team USA in WJC in 2010. I wanted to jump off a cliff after Team Canada pulled an Eberle. After watching Canada win 5 golds in a row, it was sweet seeing Team USA come out on top. I will never forget that moment!
September 27 2012, 10:09PM
My favourite junior hockey moment was the 2009-2010 WJC final, CAN vs USA. That was my first year following hockey, and that game was one hell of an introduction. Jordan Eberle's tying goal...wow!
September 27 2012, 10:35PM
Not favourite, but most unforgettable junior memory for me is watching the Canadian meltdown to Russia in the 2011 WJC. It was such a crazy game.
If the WJC's count then Jordan Eberle scoring to tie it against the US in Saskatoon. The worst moment was minutes later :' (
My favourite Blades moment is that one time they did good. Oh wait, that was never.
My memory of a CHL game is the one and only i have been too as im from England its pretty hard to get to games. Back in 2001 my future wife and i spent a week on holiday in Toronto. We went and saw a St Mikes v Brampton game in which Darryl Bootland scored a game winner in the last 30 secs of the game having trailed for most of the game.
September 28 2012, 08:59AM
Without a doubt, my favourite Juniors memory was the epic 7 round shootout between Canada and the USA in the Semi-final of the 2007 World Juniors. Johnny Toews with the winner!

Continuing his tirade against the BJP government in Karnataka, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said it had created a "world record" in corruption, apparently referring to the charges against the party's erstwhile leader BS Yeddyurappa.
Starting the second leg of his campaign tour in Haveri district, 334 km from Bengaluru, for the May 5 elections, the scion of the Gandhi family said: "The BJP is talking about corruption at the Centre. However, the corruption in the state did not come to their attention."
Blaming the BJP for ignoring people's issues, Gandhi said the party had been involved in infighting for the past five years. As he did in another speech on April 23, Gandhi asked, "Do you want such a government?''
Later in his speech, Gandhi alleged the BJP in the state came to power on the strength of the financial power of the Bellary brothers, referring to the three Reddy brothers — Janardhana, Somashkhara and Karunakara.
He said while the party prospered, illegal mining continued, giving space to the Reddy brothers to expand their businesses and influence in the state government and politics.
"It was the Bellary government, not the BJP government,'' Gandhi said.
Blaming the BJP for "ruining" Asia's IT capital, Gandhi said Bengaluru was a brand in the information technology sector. However, in the past nine years, the city had lost its supremacy, he said.
Sushma slams govt
BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said on Friday the Congress-led UPA government's scandals spread over the triloka (earth, sky and the nether world).

DC Republicans Bow to Big Media "Friends", Fire Pro-Copyright Reform Staffer
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Termination comes after RIAA and MPAA "went ballistic"
While corruption in Congress is nothing new (see:
), with the rise of modern lobbying things have reached impressive new proportions, as chronicled on
, and other well-researched online voter resources.
I. MPAA, RIAA Get Republican Staffer Fired
One of the most active lobbying influences in Washington D.C. have been media corporations, represented by trade groups like the
Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) and
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA). Recent estimates indicate that big media
paid 10 percent of members of Congress's
total reelection budget in the previous election cycle -- and the payments almost paid off as
big media's Orwellian SOPA
(Stop Online Piracy Act) was
only struck down
in the eleventh hour
amid a
storm of citizen lashback
Now comes word that a top traditional conservative (or in some source's words "Libertarian-leaning") staffer on the
Republican Study Committee
(RSC) has been terminated for his stance on
copyright reform
The fired staffer's name is Derek Khanna, and he turned heads in mid-November when he authored a pro-reform memo [
], which was thoroughly vetted and published by the RSC, a key advisory body to the conservative wing of federal Republican Representatives in Congress.
In his memo, Derek Khanna took issue with the RIAA's traditional rhetoric that piracy is a crime worth punishing with fines of up to $150,000 USD per song. [Image Source: RIAA]
In the memo (available below), Mr. Khanna argued that
punishments of up to $150,000 USD per work
for private citizens found guilty of filesharing are grossly out of line with reality.
Republican Study Committee Intellectual Property Brief
According to
's sources:
As soon as [the Khanna memo] was published, the MPAA and RIAA apparently went ballistic and hit the phones hard, demanding that the RSC take down the report. They succeeded.
RSC director subsequently complained that the memo had been published without adequate review, denying that the vetting process (which did occur) was sufficient. He essentially bowed the RIAA and MPAA demands, disavowing the Libertarian/reformist memo.
Representative Steve Scalise
(R-Lous.) recalls being "approached by several Republican members of Congress who were upset [about Khan's memo]", according to
The Washington Examiner
. Among those representatives (according to
The Washington Examiner
) was
Rep. Marsha Blackburn
(R-Tenn.), who
according to
The Center for Responsive Politics (OpenSecrets) received more money from the music industry than any other Republican Congressional candidate.
Funded by the music industry, Rep. Blackburn demanded Mr. Khanna be sacked for his comments, which offended her corporate masters. [Image Source: AP]
In the wake of the not-so-invisible hand exerting its influence on the elected officials, Rep. Scalise reportedly successfully pushed the RSC to fire Mr. Khanna, who will not be returning when Congress reconvenes in January.
II. Disavowing the Conservative Wing to Placate Special Interests
The move potentially puts the end to the career in the Republican party of the prominent-tech savvy 24-year-old, who many viewed as among the faces of young conservatism in the party. Active in Republican politics during his undergraduate education at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Mr. Khanna's first official post was working as an advisor to Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).
Mr. Khanna has international experience, having studied in the Middle East, and was a key advisor to the RSC in cybersecurity with
his resume
[LinkedIn] citing his interest in "building computers and beta testing software" and experience in "C++, Backtrack, Python, Sql, Java, Dreamweaver/Photoshop, statistical modeling".
Derek Khanna, former RSC staffer [Image Source: ArsTechnica/Derek Khanna]
The firing represents a key schism in the Republican ranks. After all, Mr. Khanna may be singled out as the sacrificial lamb in the face of RIAA and MPAA wrath, but his sentiments were clearly shared to an extent by fellow staffers who vetted the memo.
Conservative authors and IP analysts Chris Sprigman and Kal Raustiala echoed Mr. Khanna's sentiments in a
post-election commentary
, suggesting the Republican Party shift to a position of copyright reform to court young voters and libertarians. Likewise,
Jerry Brito
, a scholar at the conservative/libertarian
Mercatus Center
think-tank, has just published "
Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess
", a book which was honored by a special discussion panel by another top conservative/libertarian think-tank,
The Cato Institute
In other words, Reps. Scalise and Blackburn may have succeeded in firing one voice of reform, but their actions are dividing the Republican Party from its conservative/reformist backers. In that regard the copyright reform question is perhaps a microcosm of the more macroscopic search for identity and the balance of special interests with principles that is occurring among Republicans on The Hill.
The Washington Examiner
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Both men pled guilty to class A misdemeanors-attempted criminal mischief. Their pleas will be held in abeyance.
The judge said the charge has a maximum penalty of one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. The incident occurred on Oct. 11, 2013 at the Goblin Valley state park when the men were camping with a boy scout troop.
One filmed the incident and the other pushed over a hoodoo.
The amount of restitution is yet to be determined and the court said this is to be decided within 30 days. The matter will have a paper review in six months on Sept. 16 to make sure all requirements have been completed.
Taylor and Hall were ordered to go to the Emery County jail where they were booked and released. They were also required to give a DNA sample and pay $150 for the DNA testing.

No.385 - Elder Brother
Sasuke: ....
Itachi: Guu...
As blood flowed out from his mouth, Itachi fell onto the floor. As he fell, his whole body started melting and turn liquid, and a tomoe sign was formed on the floor.
Sasuke: ?!
The dimension collapsed, trapping Sasuke within...just as if Sasuke was swallowed, the scene changes to the battle between Suigetsu and Kisame...
Water was splashed and scattered around. Suigetsu's body was pierced by Samehada and stuck onto the lamppost.
Kisame: Well well, I thought you're pretty strong...a tearful face, that's it? That's such a kill-joy...
Suigetsu: It's so nostalgic...
A grinning Suigetsu.
Kisame: ?? ....are you laughing at your own pathetic state...it's painful to realise the truth isn't it?
Suigetsu: I got that from elder brother many times before, the feel of this blade...
Kisame: !! Come to think of it, you're right. Your elder brother was called Houzuki Mangetsu, right, Suigetsu?
(The former owner of Samehada...)
Suigetsu: alright...it's time
In a flash, Suigetsu pulled out Samehada, turned to the slime form and landed on the ground.
In his right hand, he held the cleaver (Zabuza's weapon), in his left hand was Samehada. Suigetsu went into a double sword stance (nitouryuu).
Kisame: Oh...My Samehada that rejects getting handled by anyone besides me is not resisting?
Suigetsu: I'm taking this sword, Kisame sempai
Kisame: If you can do it, that is...
Suigetsu: It's neither to attack my brother's enemy, nor about thinking of what I want to do to a missing-nin like you. This time, it's purely for entertainment (that we fight), that's all.
As soon as he had spoken, Suigetsu's body started to swell and blister.
The water took on a muscular form and flowed towards the two swords...
Kisame: snake...!?
Suigetsu: Suiton rehha - hebi guchi! (Suiton multiple waves technique - snake's mouth) Here I come...Kisame sempai!!
Kisame: Fufufu. That's going to be entertaining for me.
Kisame formed handseals.
A huge quantity of water came crashing out from nowhere...
Both were surrounded by sheets of water...
The appearance of Houzuki Mangetsu was reflected in Kisame's eyes...
The scene changes abruptly to the Itachi vs Sasuke combat, Itachi was sitting leisurely on the chair...
Sasuke's breathe rose, he suddenly stood in front of Itachi's eyes.
Itachi: Is this how I look in my death? Sasuke...
Sasuke: ...what the...?!
Itachi: I ask once more..."what can you see before your very eyes?"

No cover page
Sasuke: Hmph, not good enough.
Picture shows Itachi's blood dripping from Sasuke's sword.
Itachi: I recognize your growth. However...you have placed too much faith in your improvement...
The entire room started to change in appearance.
Stirring up - To go beyond Itachi's level...!
Sasuke's thoughts: Genjutsu...?! No, I didn't meet his eyes...
The throne and Itachi who was seated there, along with Sasuke's sword were swallowed by the floor.
Sasuke's thoughts: It's genjutsu from the very beginning...?!
The crows gathered to form Itachi.
This Itachi has been stabbed in the chest and blood is dripping from the wound.
Then, the wound closes.
Sasuke: ?!
Itachi: Did you think... it will be okay as long as you don't see with your eyes...?
Sasuke: This is just like...
Sasuke looks at his surroundings and recalls the time he was caught in Tsukuyomi.
Itachi: The entire hideout is binded in a a genjutsu dimension. Try getting out of here...Sasuke
Sasuke: Fine... (Sasuke reopens his eyes with Sharingan activated.)
Sasuke's thoughts: It's not working. It's a very strong genjutsu....but....
The walls and ceiling spiral around the what remains of Itachi's image.
Sasuke's thoughts: I'm not going to be engulfed in this!

like in america if you wanna kick someone's ass, you say i'll beat the shit out of you but in the nomadic tribe they said i'll beat you 'til you shit on yourself or in american as an insult you tell someone to go fuck themself but the nomadic equivalent was go ejaculate on yourself. my point is that there's a loss in translation and this applies to the line madara gives and it makes sense that its confusing but at the end of the day tobi is referring to himself as madara.
Madara is still in his 20s and he got to the "future" which is the present Naruto Storyline Via Time Machine "Jutsu". Case Closed.
ohh thanks wafflenet and iron for the clearup ^^
i see your point about the third person thing swift... but i still think thers just too much that tobi is madara =/ at least we can all agree that he has madaras power =P
and kenichi, no. lol
I think Madara may be hundreds of years old. Perhaps the uchiha true clan's purpose is to provide bodies for him to move along in and stay alive forever. Then Itachi found out, or if he knew that, found out about Madara's crazy master plan(whatever it is), perhaps even fought him and realized he had no chance to defeat him. In turn eliminated the rest of the clan leaving Sasuke to make him strive to exceed him and in doing so becoming powerful enough to defeat Madara.
This could also explain the mask thing and the false identity(Tobi) as being for Itachi's sake.

text: Ok quick question, how come no one can talk to there jinchuuriki like naruto? and we know if naruto went 9 nine tails, he wouldn't be able to back to human. But we seen full form of one tail w/o gaara worrying about breaking the seal or him coming back to his senses. And we seen the fully leased 2 tails. Yet there are able to control full power of it. But with naruto, he wouldn't come back to normal if he goes above 4 tails. does this mean nine tails is stronger then all the jinchuuriki put together?

Armchair GM V: housekeeping items
Robin Brownlee
June 01 2009 01:42PM
Even with the hiring of head coach Pat Quinn, associate coach Tom Renney and assistant Kelly Buchberger taken care of, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini has a full plate these days.
The first order of business for Tambellini right now is schmoozing and setting the table for possible deals down the road at a meeting of general managers in Pittsburgh over the next couple of days.
While we media types refer to trades made at the NHL Entry Draft as, duh, draft-day deals, the feeling out process begins weeks ahead of time when the GMs get together to kick tires as to what-ifs and possibilities with an eye to when everybody gets together again at the draft.
Given the significant tweaks Tambellini is looking to make to the roster, the glad-handing, huddling and casual inquiries that mark these gab sessions will be particularly important before the draft begins in Montreal.
Hey, big spender, can I buy you a drink?
Looking ahead
If Tambellini manages to package up (unload), say, a Robert Nilsson and a Rob Schremp for pucks, I mean picks, chances are the seeds of that deal will be sown in Pittsburgh before the action heats up down on St. Catherines Street in Montreal.
Same thing if Tambellini is looking to move up in draft order from the 10th spot. I know, it never happens with the Oilers, but there's no harm in asking what it might take to slip into the top five, and Tambellini will do his due diligence on that front.
Likewise, you can bet Tambellini will ask around about players who might fit into one of his top six-forward spots, preferably on left wing. Would making a defenceman like, say, Tom Gilbert (you knew this was coming) and a leader of men like Ethan Moreau available be the start of a meaningful discussion before things get busy on the draft floor?
You'd have to be profoundly dense not to understand Tambellini has depth on the blue line and that, jettisoning spare parts aside, the most likely move is that he'll use that depth to attempt to fill that top six spot.
The checklist
From what I understand, Tambellini will wrap up the GM schmoozefest and jet to Kelowna to oversee meetings with assistant GM Kevin Prendergast and the amateur scouting staff in preparation for the draft.
Aside from going over his staff's draft list -- who is this Turkish goalie we've got rated No. 10? -- Tambellini has his work cut for him in the next 10 days. In no particular order:
-- What about naming a head coach in Springfield? I'd be stunned if it isn't Rob Daum, but I'm going strictly by common sense and the job Daum did at the end of last season despite being saddled with, essentially, an ECHL roster, especially on defence. Indications are we won't hear anything on the Springfield front until next week.
-- What about adding a second assistant to the coaching staff? People are already guessing about who that might be, but I haven't heard one firm word from anybody who calls the shots that the decision has even been made to go with a staff of four.
-- Who replaces video coach Brian Ross, a Craig MacTavish hire who was let go with assistants Charlie Huddy and Bill Moores?
-- What happens with goaltending coach Pete Peeters?
-- Does Rod Phillips come back for his 37th season as radio play-by-play man or does he hand the microphone over to Bob Stauffer?
When I know, you'll know.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.
June 01 2009, 01:45PM
Robin, what do you think the odds would be of putting O'Sully with our 10th to get in the 5/6 range?
"If Tambellini manages to package up (unload), say, a Robert Nilsson and a Rob Schremp for pucks,"
There's truth in jest. All the same though....ouch. Being in the media isn't about making friends eh? Although with these two, if they happen to corner Robin in a dark alley, my money would be on Mr. Brownlee.
With the combine's over and the GM meeting's about to kick off, how long before you media types start getting leaks on what deals may be cooking? Or does it stay pretty quiet?
As for Gilbert, is there anything to read into him buying a house here in Edmonton? Particularily since he bought it after the season was over.
I know Lupul bought one and was shipped out shortly after, but it still leaves me wondering if the fact he bought one is an indicator of what he heard from Tambellini at the end of the year.
June 01 2009, 01:58PM
Turkish goalie ranked 10th? Really? Hopefully he's the next Anze Kopitar instead of the next Michel Riesen.
June 01 2009, 01:58PM
Thanks for the updates Robin. I do not envy the tough decisions Tamby has to make in the coming weeks. It should be entertaining to watch how it all unfolds though.
If they are going to add another assistant it should be someone who can help the special teams because both stunk last year! Maybe Bucky handles the PK and the other guy handles the PP. Just a thought.

bla bla bla, we want ( need ) news, whod on the block, whos coming, we know that you have all that info and we know that you are well connected, give us more, its way too long until draft day... im going crazy!!!!
I hate the idea of giving up Gilbert, but I understand the need to lead with your best available assets. But then again, what does a Gilbert get you in a top-6 winger? And who out there is a willing partner to the Oil? Hopefully someone who is a willing fool with great players ;).
We need so many things it's to hard to try and guess where Tambo might start. Top six forward a third line centre who can win faceoffs and PK. More size and grit to go along with the talent WE do have (Pat Quinn). I don't envy Tambo this summer if he could plug just 2 holes I think he has done a good job, if he hits the home run than this would be the best summer an Oiler GM had in a long time.

Yoy could look to Philly, you might be able to get a Gagne, for a Gilbert+ or what about a longshot Richards Size grit hands Maybe a Gilbert plus Cogs and a prospect. Philly needs to shed some salary and they need a puckmover in the worst way.

When you look at the Oilers D Gilbert is the logical choice to move. Reasons Gilbert will get you more than any other D-man 25 years old 45 points moves the puck very well, 4 mil cap hit and signed for 5 more year. You can't trade Souray he is the only guy that we have that has a mean streak. Vish well look what happened to Hemmer and the PP after Vish got hurt, and Gilbert is a good puck mover but Vish is far better, But his cap hit will mean less in return than Gilbert. Grebs we just signed him to a 3 year 3.1 mil contract, he takes Gilberts place on the roster, less money moves the puck as good or better younger. $ puck movers are great but we sure could use a young Jason Smith, I would take 3 puck movers a 3 guys that can hit and play D

what about a longshot Richards
My understanding (with the longterm contract he signed) is that Richards is the new cornerstone of the franchise. But, I like the idea of a Gagne. Maybe an all (or mostly) Gagne/r line?
BTW, Gagne's shooting % the last few years is impressive (15, 14 and 14) along with his shots taken (221, 291 and 334!?).

I agree about Richards but I could wish, I think he is exactly the TYPE of player Tambo, along with Quinn would want. Gregor keeps bring up Hartnell could he play top six? I think he would look good on the second line with Gagner, he would create alot of space for the little guy to operate, but I think if it was Gilbert for Hartnell Philly might have to add.
You guys think if(when) Hossa gets his ring he may consider coming here as an FA? Maybe he'd be ready to be "the guy". We'd obviously have to clear up some cap space though.
Philly needs to drop salary. Getting gagne for gilbert would be nice, and it saves them $1.25 mill. Only issue is he's a UFA after the year and that seems to rarely work out for us. Hartnel, while also having a hefty contract, fits all of the needs for our top 6 and doesn't add salary. I'd sooner take a run at Clowe form SJ, who will cost us $2 mill less per year and bring almost the same thing as HArtnell. We still need to address a tougher top 4 dman, and a goalie, but Hartnell or Clowe is a start (especially since Hartnell was who lowe wanted 2 years ago when he signed before july 1 with Philly). - Gilbert for Hartnell - If not then Souray for Clowe and a pick form SJ - Nilsson and 2nd round pick for Harding (sign Harding to a 3 year $2 mill deal) - Sign Anderson at G for $2 mill for 2 years - Make a run at Komisarek ($4.5 mill per year for 5 years) - Sign a 3rd line center with some size and who can win a faceoff or deal Cogliano and a prospect to Rangers for Dubinsky
@ dyckster: Just say no to Hossa. I know he is good (mad skills good) but I don't think he is what the Oil need. We have a dangler and a pile of smooth skaters. What the Oil need is big, bullish and grit. And I think those are available at a lesser price than Hossa would demand.
Besides, what would the team have to give up to get him in? Dunno if it is worth it.
what I want to know is, why are people intent to trade Gilbert? Gilbert is young, and let's not forget, dmen take a while to develop. Even if we ignore that, within say, 3 years at most, Souray and Visnovsky will be on the decline. Heck, Souray's contract will be up in 3 years and it's almost for sure he'll be gone before then. If we traded Gilbert, in less than 3 years we'd be left with Grebeshkov and Smid as our primary dmen. Sure, they're good, but beyond that we have... very little. It's not a knock against Chorney, Peckham, or Petry. We just haven't seen enough to have faith in them and to lose an up-and-coming young dman in Gilbert. It would suck, but it would be wiser to trade off one of Souray or Visnovsky.
Tambi is probably just trying to figure out who some of the GM's are!
Florida doesn't have one all of a sudden, Dallas just got a new one, Colorado is in limbo, Minni just got a new one, and Phoenix doesn't even know who will own them or where they will play, and Charlie Wang seems to be making player personel decisions with the Islanders.
Throw in a bunch of teams with major money worries (both with losses and cap problems) and I wonder how hard it will be to make a deal with some of these clubs.

Is it you that has the man-love for Dubinsky? Is he really all that and a bag of chips?
I do like his faceoff % though. What's his salary? (too lazy to look it up)
June 01 2009, 03:50PM
If Grebs has been re-signed like everyone says, why can't I find it anywhere?? I keep hearing 3 years at 3 mil, Is this deal actually done??
June 01 2009, 03:57PM
@ dyckster:
When Hossa gets his ring I think he's off to the beach. He will deny us again and go somewhere nice while we end up with Jagr.
@ scorcoff hemmercules:
Just say NO to Jagr!
I second your Grebeshkov question. I don't think his signing is done yet. Isn't that usually bad? Media says it's all but done, but a few days later still no confirmation. Stalled talks perhaps?
June 01 2009, 04:03PM
@ scorcoff hemmercules:
I'd hate to see Hossa or Jagr in a uniform. There are much better longer term moves than either of those two if cap room is available. The Oil should shed as many contracts as they feel they can and sit tight.
The economic collapse in the US is only bound to continue and will put the squeeze on many teams. Being able to bring cash to the table might put the Oilers in a very select group in the next couple of years and absurd deals could abound.
June 01 2009, 04:18PM
@ Wanye Gretz:
I agree, we need to be careful. Tambo has made some smart moves so far though, lets hope he stays on track and manages the cap well. We have shown interest in both of those guys though so if one of them ended up here I wouldn't be shocked. Decisions decisions, Steve's head must be spinning like a top theses days.
The team I would be targeting would be Columbus, since they are bleeding money and did do crap in the playoffs. what about his:
10th overall pick, Cogliano, Chorney/Petry, and a 4th or Cogliano, Gilbert, and a second
I'd do those deal is about 0.1 seconds.

Have you seen Hossa during these playoffs? He's got more grit in his big toe than our entire team. Grit doesn't necessarily mean cheap-shotting guys.
@ Wanye Gretz: If they become abundant, then would they still be absurd? hmmmm. *brain implodes while trying to wrap itself around it
June 01 2009, 04:40PM
@ DBO: You won't get Komisarek for $4.5 million. Philly will be a prime targer for GMs who are willing to, ahem, help the Flyers with their salary cap concerns. @ MyrJ: Dealing one of the top four is dealing from a position of depth and strength. Gilbert has cachet and gets you something.
@ B.C.B.: Good call on the Jackets, but you aren't getting Nash for that package. They'll be busy between now and draft day.

Seriously, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to come to this conclusion, Nilsson and Schremp are throw-ins in any trade. They don't get you anything straight up. Even as I write this, though, and against my better judgment, I wonder if Nilsson will see this as a new chance and run with it. Same with Schremp. A long shot, but maybe -- assuming Tambellini doesn't make that decision for them with one conversation in the next couple weeks.
Who is most vulnerable on the Flyers' roster? Hartnell has been bandied about, but is anyone really untouchable?
And which other teams are out there looking for big cap hits in low actual dollars?
June 01 2009, 05:01PM
@ The Menace:
I personally think that if the US economy continues to contract at it's current rate of decline over the next year you could see some very shocking things happen in the NHL with respect to guaranteed salaries and player movements.
Put it this way - if the US government is prepared to restructure billions of dollars of GM pension obligations and is being forced to temporarily TAKE CONTROL (!) of the company and restructure all the obligations of the company - think that NHL guaranteed salaries and terms of operations are set in some special stone for all eternity?
Amazing things are afoot. Why waste 5 million on Jagr when you could see the Lightning or some other team completely dissolve forcing the return of a dispersial draft. At that point anyone with the money could simply assume contracts - perhaps even at a lower level.
@ Bar Qu: ummm, sorry that second one was a dumb question. I think all teams want that (except for a couple that want the players first and the hit second).

Hartnell has a no trade clause so he'd have to approve any trade if i'm not mistaken. Lupul is likely one of the most vulnerable @ 4.25 but obviously thats not a likely fit here. Gagne could be had IMO, and I believe he has 2 years left at 5.25. Columbus will look hard to move Huselius I'd assume (perhaps Mike Commodore too). I can't see Nash being moved.

NHL numbers can tell you that, but three of the obvious teams who will be up against the cap next season are Philly (19 players at $53 M already committed), Washington (14 players at $45 M) and Detroit (16 players at $51 million).
Problem is, of course, the Oilers aren't exactly blessed with abundant cap space now either with $47 M committed to 18 players. Doesn't leave room for a big splash unless there's salary headed the other way I(Gilbert, Visnovsky, Souray, Penner etc.
@ Wanye Gretz:

@ Robin Brownlee:
What kind of Package would it take to get Nash? I was try to overshoot and you thought I undershot. If they can't sign him to an extension because they are losing money, they must be thinking of trading him. Before the report on their income, I would have never thought he would be trade, but now I think they would if they could get serious youth and a nice young (good contract) player in return.
Bar Qu :
yeah i have the man crush on Dubinsky. He's an RFA, with size, grit, skill and can win a faceoff. Wouldn't like to give up Cogs, but Dubinsky fits a need as a 3C, or even 2C. Maybe I'm in the "saw him good" group, but he was one of the Rangers best players in the playoffs and fills a huge need on this team. Think Horcoff with more hitting.
June 01 2009, 05:24PM
@ B.C.B.: Don' read too much into the "Columbus bleeding money" storyline. There's trouble spots all over and Columbus is one of them, but the losses sustained this season are a reflection of past failures as opposed to a franchise going nowhere.
Howson and Hitchcock have the Jackets headed the right direction. I'm not convinced they'll dump Nash in a fire sale. Do you take apart a team that's just now on the upswing after recovering from Doug McLean's buffoonery? That's short-term gain for long-term pain.
Wonder what J-Bo's relationship with Jacques Martin is like. Its pretty obvious that he didn't want to return but would he be more likely or less likely to head to Montreal now because of the Martin hiring? ROBIN?
June 01 2009, 05:47PM
@ RossCreek: I don't see Montreal in the cards for Jay. He'll get his money somewhere without jumping in the pressure cooker that is Montreal. The Habs aren't Cup contenders right now -- look at their UFA situation -- and Montreal is a not a fun place to play in when the team is middle of the pack.

The only way I could see nash moved (minus someone knocking the Jackets socks off with an offer) is if Nash plays serious hard ball, and wont sign for a penny less then 8 million (or whatever high end # is just to much for Columbus). Then maybe they'd take a 4.1 Hemsky in exchange for and 8.0 Nash.

Do we get Nash for 1 year? Does he bolt as soon as he's UFA? Or does he sign an extension of some kind? I bet that Nash isnt moved this season, even at the deadline, just like Bouwmeester. Whatever team takes him wont be interested in acquiring a rental for a valued roster player that is signed long term. That's a huge gamble for a club that doesnt have too much depth to fall back on.

We don't need any of those guys. We've got a multitalented player in our stable right now:
What about a player like Fredrick Modin? I know he isn't a big name; buty he is entering the last year of his contract with Columbus, and is an experienced, natural left winger with size and a hard shot... Maybe he could be had for cheap as part of a Columbus salary shed. I see him as a slightly more useful player than Kotalik.

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont.

As far as cover tunes, well, if you are paid up with your ASCAP dues, usually you have some wiggle room . . . assuming that YT bothers with ASCAP.
Btw, link?
I've been seeing a few of the bigger haunts doing "cover" videos of popular songs. Dent Schoolhouse just did one and it was great! Is there a way they're skirting the whole copyrighted music thing or are they taking the chance that You Tube may yank it for copyright violation? We were wanting to do something similar last year, but I was worried about getting hit with a violation. Anyone else try this with success?
As far as cover tunes, well, if you are paid up with your ASCAP dues, usually you have some wiggle room . . . assuming that YT bothers with ASCAP.
Btw, link?
As long as your NOT selling the videos then there is not much they can do. Shane and it's do one they are fun! Shane
Maybe try catching up with a local band, you'd be surprised what they are willing to come up with for you. We got a few sweet songs from T.H.O.R.N. Web Designs
I just looked into this through an entertainment lawyer, because I am going to be adding these to my haunt this year. YouTube content is copyright protected, and its not the band you need to worry about but ASCAP and BMI. My wife runs a nightclub, and they tried once to get around ASCAP and BMI. They were successful for awhile, but when they caught up to them it costs +$40,000 in fines and penalties!
Another friend of mine owns a campground. They have DJs and an occassional band. They were not paying ASCAP/BMI. Then they advertised a Buffett Themed weekend. They werent planning on music, just using the theme. They are now paying ASCAP/BMI annually.
Some bands will grant you permission to use their videos (I have a few of these in my files) but make sure it is in writing. ASCAP and BMI will argue you are providing entertainment for a fee (selling tickets to an event) and using copyrighted music. They will still want their cut even if you have the permission. I am paying ASCAP and BMI (its not much) to save myself from the hassles.
