Nice chapter!
Maybe The 4 (or was it 5?) noble families came from these cities. I'm surprised Shikamaru is the SK...
haha... Byakuya is in poor treat... so poor... and Rukia's butt . - -' this bleach chapter is so funny. hmm, the soul king is out... it is exciting!
Also, paulbee, considering that Shonen is on the verge of losing its top three mangas, it's pretty safe to assume that they are having some hand in urging at least Kubo and Kishimoto to draw out their respective series for all they're worth, much to the detriment of the mangas themselves.
*Note: I did not include Oda within this posting not because I am a diehard One Piece fan, but because his series is only half finished where Naruto is likely nearing/in its final arc and Bleach has already been confirmed the same. Just my little disclaimer to anyone who wishes to call me out for taking issue with Bleach in this post.
I would have preferred Orihime's peach.
I think you all should cut Kubo some slack for these last chapters. This final arc has so far been very serious and I think he wishes to cater to fans of the series' more comical aspect, which, so far down this arc, have been pretty absent.
Also as a disclaimer of sorts, I have been reading and following Bleach for what, 10 years or so. I am a True fan of Bleach, and I appreciate and admire Kubo's work.
I personally see no conflict between Loving /Admiring Bleach, and offering some occasional criticism.
I personally would prefer more of this kind of dialog. But you're right, I guess I am willing to cut Kubo some slack

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Where in the blue hell is the 5th Zero Squad member?! The Black one with the weird hair. Did Tite forget about him?
Somebody put out an APB lol.
. So perhaps that's what he is doing right now.Spoiler!
Or simply as a joke character, him not being noticed by anyone until now is a joke ;P. He obviously came with the others and is pretty much covered even by speech bubbles, or not shown at all:
Or, Kubo implies that he is Yoruichi's father... since there is no one else with such a dark skin tone among Shinigami beside those two and the fact that no one noticed him, might be to show the level of his stealth abilities. He might have went to see her in that case.
this chapter is good! funny and informative.

|In response to check vlave configuration and its activity
: I have a sump pump discharge with a checkvalve about three feet above the pump. The 1-1/2" discharge line with a 20' run has an air gap at the end where the water is dumnped into a 3"x6' vertical line going to a leech field perimeter drain. Assuming that the purpose of the checkvalve is to prevent backflow and that the possibility of back flow is almost zero, do I need to have a checkvalve? I would like to eliminate the checkvalve to reduce the hammer I am getting when the pump stops and to drain back the water that is being trapped in the negative slope the plumber built in.

There are plenty of scenes depicting the explicit horrors of racism that Jackie Robinson faced in "42," Brian Helgeland's film about Robinson becoming the first African-American to play major-league baseball.
A redneck manager hurls a shocking, never-ending stream of N-word-laced invective as Robinson bats, every time he bats. A Philadelphia hotel turns away not just Robinson but the entire Brooklyn Dodgers team because of the color of Robinson's skin. In the minor leagues down South, a police officer runs Robinson off the field, saying that mixed-race baseball is against the law.
These scenes are effective in Helgeland's hands, but really, how could they not be? These acts are offensive on their face, difficult to wrap your head around and meant to be so.
But there is a quieter scene, even more powerful in its illustration of how scary Robinson's road was, in which Robinson, played by Chadwick Boseman, doesn't even appear. It takes place in the office of Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), the Dodgers executive who signed Robinson.
Pee Wee Reese (Lucas Black) walks in and tells Rickey he'd like to sit out the series against Cincinnati. He's from nearby Kentucky, and he's gotten a letter disparaging him for playing with Robinson. Rickey chortles, then reaches into a filing cabinet and pulls out three overstuffed files. They contain threats against Robinson, against his life, against the life of his wife and child. They are ugly, shocking, dangerous.
Does Robinson know, Reese asks?
"Of course," Rickey says, almost chuckling. The FBI knows about them, too. Yet Robinson would play at a level high enough to lead the Dodgers to the World Series and be named rookie of the year.
This, then, is the true price the pioneer pays. Yet Robinson was able to get past it. (Reese not only played, but paused at first base to sling his arm around Robinson, enraging the hometown bigots.)
Helgeland's film is admirable in many ways. For one thing, it avoids turning Rickey into the Great White Hero who revolutionized the game singlehandedly. Rickey is portrayed positively, to be sure, and why not? It helps that Ford sinks his teeth into the best role he's had in years. But Robinson is the real hero here, of course, and Helgeland never depicts him as otherwise.
What the film could use is a little more of the subtlety we see in the scene in Rickey's office. Helgeland hits nearly every nail square on the head, telling the story in stark black and white, when it would have benefited from more shades of gray.
Robinson makes, by my count, two outs in the entire film, and both are used as plot devices. Yes, he was a great player who enjoyed an outstanding season, and we don't expect to see every pop fly or strikeout. But the one place the Robinson in "42" never finds struggle is on the field. He would become a Hall of Fame player, but surely he was not the near-perfect player in every game he played in, as is suggested here.
Of course, this could be a matter of looking at the "Mona Lisa" and complaining about the frame. Robinson's achievement is impossible to overstate. He didn't just integrate baseball. He made huge strides for equality in all sports and, by extension, society. He is one of the central figures of the 20th century.
But you can't watch "42" without feeling as if we're seeing the obvious, in terms of both struggle and triumph, and not a lot more. What else was going on in Robinson's life and, more important, his head? Reese grew from silent to supportive (Black is excellent in a limited role). Was there more to that transition?
One assumes. Helgeland has given us an impressive introduction to one of the most important men in U.S. history. But you can't help wanting more.

Laryngeal nerve damage is injury to one or both of the nerves that are attached to the voice box.
Vocal cord paralysis
Injury to the laryngeal nerves is uncommon.
It it does occur, it can be from:
Injury to the left and right laryngeal nerves at the same time can be an urgent situation that can lead to difficulty breathing.
The doctor will check if your vocal cords move abnormally. Abnormal movement may mean that a laryngeal nerve is injured.
Tests may include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the injury. In some instances, no treatment may be needed and the nerve may recover on its own. Voice therapy is useful in some cases.
If surgery is needed, the goal is to change the position of the paralyzed vocal cord to improve the voice. This can be done with:
If both the left and right nerves are damaged, a hole may need to be cut into the windpipe (tracheotomy) right away to allow breathing. This is followed by another surgery at a later date.
The outlook depends on the cause of the injury. In some cases, the nerve rapidly returns to normal. However, sometimes the damage is permanent.

We want your WoolOvers to last just as much as you do (we have our reputation to uphold!) so here is our guide to prolonging the life of your knitwear. Follow these steps and your garments should last for years to come!
All of our fabrics are a blend of natural protein fibres and knitted from machine-washable yarn. Wash them on a wool program, using a non-bio detergent at a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
Many biological detergents contain wool-eating enzymes. Never use biological detergents or stain removers on Wool, Silk or Cashmere fibres because the enzymes will literally digest the fabric and you may end up with unsightly holes!
Afraid not. Those that contain bleach will lead to progressive fading and may weaken the fabric, again leading to holes.
Wool and natural fibre detergents are available at all supermarkets. Many sell Woolmark-approved own brand products. Other good brands include Dreft, Persil Silk and Wool, Woolite, Stergene and Ecover Wool Wash.
Most of our knitwear is machine washable, there are some newer styles that are hand wash only. Please see wash label for washing instructions.
REMEMBER: to increase the life of your WoolOvers, use a slow spin (600 rpm or less) and a low temperature (30° max.) to avoid stretching, shrinking and matting of the fibres.
Our cotton blends will be fine in your tumble dryer, but avoid direct heat on the woollens. These should be reshaped and allowed to dry naturally.
TIP: Keep them supported to maintain their shape, a broad banister can be ideal, or simply lay flat, ensuring you rotate it.

The Krown 360 helmet features a four-piece shell and liner that converge to create a true 360° fit. The 4 PLAY Adjustment System uses a single dial located on the back of the helmet to simultaneously adjust the shell and liner to your head shape. The liner moves independently from the shell during oblique impacts allowing the protection to stay in place, while the shell absorbs and deflects most of the impact. This will limit the excessive brain movement which causes concussions.
The Warrior Krown 360 helmet features 3 different types of foams to protect you from the low and high impact hits. EPP foam is featured throughout most of the Krown 360 helmet. The EPP foam is extremely light and for those high-impact hits. Impax Molded Foam is strategically placed in the back of the head and the temple area. The Impax Molded Foam really focuses on dampening the multiple low-impact hits players frequently experience. Comfort foam padding provides a great feel along with a stable fit. The Krown cage has thin bars along with wide sections to provide great visibility. A multi-density adjustable floating chin cup provides great protection and allows you to adjust it up and down for a proper fit.
The Krown 360 helmet has a great fit along with a sleek look that passes the mirror test!

The Center for Leadership in Law and Education is a University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) Center. The center is a multi-disciplinary research and action center focusing on the law impacting the schools via four overlapping goals of studying, educating, disseminating and influencing.
We are committed to highlighting and promoting the leadership of education professionals in making, administering and evaluating laws impacting children and schools. We are committed to influencing state and national laws that provide the delivery and assessment framework in which educators pursue the education of all children.
We will share our findings at meetings and conferences, by publishing policy papers on issues projected to come before our legislature and by providing evaluations of the effect of the law on children, school districts and the state. We will conduct impact studies of the law as it is and as it potentially could be--all in an effort to illuminate the legal, ethical, and practical implications of these decisions on our educational and legal systems.
Welcome to the Center for Leadership in Law and Education website! We are excited to join the family of UCEA Centers. We hope you visit often as we celebrate our inaugural year with activities beginning this March with a Presidential Colloquium featuring national expert on school finance, Dr. R. Craig Wood. We also have multiple research and policy initiatives that we will publish in our section on Policy Reports in the coming weeks.
Thank you for visiting our web presence and we do hope you return often.

Tempering with Callets™
The purpose of tempering chocolate is to pre-crystallise the cocoa butter in the chocolate, which is related to the working temperature of the chocolate. During tempering, the cocoa butter in the chocolate changes into a stable crystalline form. It ensures the hardness, shrinking force and gloss of the finished product after it has cooled. If the chocolate is melted in the normal way (between 40 and 45 °C) then left to cool to working temperature, the finished product will not be glossy. If you make the effort of using a special way of bringing chocolate up to the right working temperature, you are guaranteed to get the desired end result. And that is what we mean by tempering: bringing chocolate up to the right working temperature so that there are sufficient stable crystals.The 3 factors which are important during tempering are time, temperature and movement.
Pre-crystallisation is very easy if you add chocolate which has already been tempered to the melted chocolate. Callebaut Callets™ are useful for this. Callets™ have of course already been tempered. In other words, they are already in the required crystalline form, and can be added to the melted chocolate. The required quantity of Callets™ depends upon the temperature of the melted chocolate and the Callets. When the melted chocolate reaches a temperature of approximately 40 °C, you can add 15% to 20% Callets™ at ambient temperature (between 15 and 20 °C).
Melt the chocolate in a melting pan (set the thermostat to 45 °C).
Lower the thermostat (± 32 °C for dark chocolate / ± 30 °C for white chocolate and milk chocolate) and immediately add 15% to 20% Callets™ at ambient temperature.
Stir the chocolate well to ensure the dispersion of the stable crystals of the Callets™. Are the Callets™ melting too quickly? That is because the chocolate is still too hot. Add more Callets™ and continue stirring.
In this way, you will obtain a slightly thickened chocolate, which is ready to work with.
All chocolate should be tempered before you use it to
mould/pour, to use for creating blown figures, for coating cakes or
pralines. In short, whenever chocolate needs to have a perfect
sheen and be hard.
When you add chocolate to dishes to add flavour (when preparing mousses or Bavarian creams for instance), it usually suffices to melt the chocolate. Tempering is not required in these instances. All recipes will indicate clearly if the chocolate should be tempered or not.


text: After weeks of passionate arguments and numbers crunching, Miguel Cabrera topped Mike Trout as the AL MVP. A look back at some tight races and controversial results. 2011: Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun edges Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp for the NL MVP. Braun receives 20 first-place votes to Kemp's 10, despite Kemp nearly winning the Triple Crown. He hit .324 (third in NL) with a league-leading 39 homers and 126 RBI. To make matters worse, several weeks after the results were announced, it was revealed that Braun had violated MLB's drug policy, although he won the appeal. Jeff Curry, US PRESSWIRE2011: Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander becomes the first pitcher to win an MVP since Dennis Eckersley in 1992, and the first starter since Roger Clemens in 1986. Verlander wins with the old school (the pitcher's Triple Crown) and new school (with a league-leading WAR of 8.6). Jesse Johnson, US PRESSWIRE2003: Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez becomes the third player (fourth time) to win an MVP for a last-place team. He bats .298 with 47 home runs and 118 RBI. He beats Blue Jays first baseman Carlos Delgado by 29 points in balloting. Tom Fox, AP1999: Rangers catcher Ivan Rodriguez win the AL MVP by 13 points over Boston Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez. Rodriguez bats .332 with 35 homers and 113 RBI, but Martinez wins the Cy Young Award by unanimous decision after leading the majors in wins (23), ERA (2.07) and the AL in strikeouts (313). Linda Kaye, AP1995: Red Sox first baseman Mo Vaughn edges Cleveland Indians left fielder Albert Belle for the AL MVP by eight points, even though Belle leads the league in slugging (.690), total bases (377), doubles (52) and home runs (50) and ties Vaughn in RBI (126) while leading the Indians to the best record in baseball. Ben Margot, AP1988: Los Angeles Dodgers left fielder Kirk Gibson wins the NL MVP by 36 points over New York Mets right fielder Darryl Strawberry after hitting .290 with 25 homers, 76 RBI. Gibson and the Dodgers won the World Series that year, but the voting was done before the postseason. Rusty Kennedy, AP1987: Chicago Cubs right fielder Andre Dawson win the NL MVP playing for a last-place team. At the time, it was the third instance an MVP winner won the award playing for a last-place team. Ernie Banks did it twice before him. Mark Elias, AP1984: Detroit Tigers reliever Willie Hernandez, left, wins the AL MVP over Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly. Hernandez goes 9-3 with a 1.92 ERA and 32 saves, but only leads the league in pitcher appearances and games finished. Ron Heflin, AP1979: For the first and only time in baseball history, there is a tie for the MVP. Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Willie Stargell, pictured, and St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Keith Hernandez share the honor. Keith Srakocic, AP1941: New York Yankees center fielder Joe DiMaggio, right, wins the MVP by 36 points over Boston Red Sox left fielder Ted Williams. It was a heated debate over DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak and Williams' .404 batting average. APLike this topic?

Winnipeg and a Destination of Choice
Kent Wilson
August 07 2011 08:32PM
Recently Bob McCowan of Prime Time Sports stated he knows of at least three players who want out of Winnipeg. Whether the statement is true or not, it raises the spectre of a concern that could prove to be very real one for Jets fans and management: that NHL players won't want to play there.
Firstly, the McCowan rumor is concerning for several reasons, not the least of which is the still unresolved Zach Bogosian signing. Little has been said about the club's most important remaining free agent even though the off-season is creeping towards it's dusk. The former third overall pick had a rough ride as a Thrasher under the previous regime last year, so it's possible that unpleasant experience plus the inevitability of moving to the frigid confines of the Canadian prairies has caused him to play hard ball with the club. Outside of players who are looking to score big pay-days, like Steven Stamkos and Shea Weber, RFA negotiations are usually fairly routine. It's therefore rather unsual for them to drag on for this length of time unless there's some reason for the delay on one side or the other. If Bogosian is angling for a trade out of town, he and his agent can obfuscate the matter until the team has little choice but to move him. Something similar recently happened to the Calgary Flames, who were forced to trade former first round pick Tim Erixon to the NY Rangers, because the player was unwilling to sign his ELC with Calgary.
Beyond the Bogosian issue, the broader concern is one of the club trying to acquire and retain talent going forward. If players are already itching to leave without having played a single game in town, the Jets are obviously going to have some problems when it comes to building their roster down the road.
Of course, there really is only one way to make Winnipeg a destination of choice for NHLers: create a winning organization. The Detroit Red Wings, for example, have no problems gathering talent or signing their existing superstars because the franchise is well known for it's class and ability to field a quality club. This despite the fact that Detroit is hardly a pristine paradise.
For Winnipeg, that will mean bucking the habits of mediocrity and ineptitude that were previously established in Atlanta. Make no mistake, the new Jets franchise has a number of challenges it must overcome if the move back to Winnipeg is going to be a permanent one. The best and quickest way to overcome those issues would be to start winning...sooner rather than later.
August 07 2011, 10:10PM
If I were in the NHL Winnipeg would be my FIST choice.
August 08 2011, 07:01AM
This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone - especially with comments from the Coyotes when their move was imminent. Edmonton's been dealing with these problems for quite awhile now, too.
That being said, it would REALLY suck to lose Bogosian for something as stupid as location. I put up with Winnipeg's weather and I only make $50k/yr. My heart doesn't exactly weep for someone who makes millions.
As an upside, stand-up guys like Dustin Byfuglien could be fixtures here for years to come.
FYI, Winnipeg is not "Northern Canada". We're an hour from the U.S. border.
August 08 2011, 11:00AM
Zach Bogosian's from Massena, New York, which is right across the river from Cornwall, Ontario. I've been to Massena several times since 2001, and if he's snooty about Winnipeg, it certainly isn't because he's from a better place, because that town is a dead-end relic of post-industrial America if I've ever seen one.
McCown's primary M.O. is being an entertainer, so I do tend to regard many of his pronouncements as cynical fodder for his Toronto-based audience. I went to the 2007 Grey Cup in Toronto, and on the day after the game, he was lauding the great Argo organization (Cynamon and Sokolowski), arguing that only a real big league place like Toronto could have had such a successful event.
Now, far be it from me to disagree with such a media heavyweight, but anyone with functioning eyes that wasn't up to them in big-shot BS would have realized that only the presence of the Green Horde from the Gap made that week's festivities what they were, and I'm speaking as a Blue Bomber fan not particularly predisposed to approving of those people. The big hitters of Toronto had bugger-all to do with making that Grey Cup week a raging success, and only an idiot or someone with an agenda would have argued otherwise.
Helluva long way to say "consider the source", I guess, but there you go.
August 09 2011, 06:42AM
It doesn't really matter, in a lot of cases, where the players are from. Ilya Brzgalov was one of the players who spoke out about not wanting to come to Winnipeg, and he's from BFN Russia. These guys forget really quickly.
What we need is more guys who find out they're moving to Winnipeg, and go out and buy a boat and a parka.

What makes Callebaut chocolate so unique?
Cocoa beans are selected, roasted and ground by Callebaut itself: a
rarity among chocolate makers
|Callebaut is one of the rare chocolate makers that still selects, roasts and grinds its own cocoa beans. Thanks to our special connections with the cocoa growers, we have access to the best cocoa beans for every single one of our chocolate recipes. We're proud too to be one of the few chocolate makers that roasts the cocoa beans itself. Furthermore, the beans are roasted in their entire shell, to protect them and keep in all the aromas and subtleties. This yields a more intense, more complex and deeper cocoa flavour. A flavour that you will recognise in every classic Callebaut couverture chocolate.
The finesse of your craftsmanship demands the finest chocolate
|Callebaut grinds all the ingredients extremely fine – much
finer than most other chocolate makers. This fineness yields such
tiny particles that they can never be sensed individually by the
tongue or taste buds. The ingredients are then conched with the
same precision and patience until the texture, aroma, taste and
flavours are almost ready. Adding pure cocoa butter and a dash of
natural vanilla rounds off the taste and texture of the
chocolate. It's at this moment that all ingredients become
one and melt together on the tongue. It's at this precious moment
that the chocolate merits its stamp of quality and authenticity as
"Callebaut Finest Belgian".
Your creativity and productivity deserve chocolates you can
rely on. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
|Over the generations, from father to son, our oldest customers have found that the taste, the workability and the quality of Callebaut couvertures never change. There is never any need to add cocoa butter or cocoa liquor. Callebaut chocolate couvertures remain consistent and reliable. And they always will. Callebaut guarantees chocolates that enable you to work quickly and efficiently; chocolate in Callets™ for instance that can be processed faster than any other chocolate and allow you to achieve excellent end results. This promise lies embedded in the genes of Callebaut – and in every Finest Belgian Chocolate.
From cocoa bean to chocolate: Callebaut's Finest Belgian Chocolates are produced with 100% Belgian craftsmanship.

Fortunately, I've been having more success with knitting. Thanks to a series of classes offered at Fiberphilia this spring, I can finally knit a sweater. When I was a new knitter, without a local yarn shop to help me find my way in the world, I wasted skeins of expensive yarn knitting cubist sweaters: front longer than the back, left sleeve inches higher than the right. I learned, incorrectly, that sweaters are knit in flat pieces—front, back, sleeves—and sewn together at the end. I was relying on patterns to tell me how many stitches I needed, and how many rows to knit. If I couldn't achieve the number of stitches per inch used in the sample, I couldn't make the sweater.
But the mothers and grandmothers of northern Europe didn't knit that way; they created warm, well-fitting works of art without patterns to tell them whether they were doing it right. They considered their yarn, the needs of the wearer, and the proportions of torso, arms, chest, and neck. Knitting in the Old Way: Designs and Techniques from Ethnic Sweaters contains the collected wisdom of centuries of free-form sweater knitting. It was the textbook for Fiberphilia's sweater series.
My first project was a miniature version of the Icelander:
Instead of knitting this sweater in pieces, I knit the body as a tube, bottom to top, and steeked (cut) holes for arms. I never would have been brave enough to try steeking on my own, but it's so quick and logical, and it allows for easy knitting with two (or three, or four!) colors.
My favorite part of the sweater is the traditional stripe that is carried up the side of the body, under the armpit, and down the sleeve. When I make myself an adult sized version of this Icelander, I will never stop waving to people and doing the YMCA.
My next project was an Icelandic yoke sweater:
I sewed tubes for the lower body and arms, then joined all the tubes together on a long circular needle and knit around and around and around, decreasing in a few spots. Easy!
Knitting in the Old Way provides the sketches and guidance you need to design traditional sweaters with any yarn, for any body. A bit of math is involved, but it's nothing more than simple ratios. Given a chest measurement, how wide should a neck be? What about shoulders and wrists? Using your chosen yarn, how many stitches should you aim for?
What looks intimidating at first glance is simply working backward from measurements of the body the sweater will go on. It couldn't be more logical, or more liberating. I'm ready to ditch my old books of patterns and start designing from scratch.
For the first time in my life, sweaters make more sense than bread!

NHL Notes
Greg Jamison has missed his deadline to buy the Phoenix Coyotes before a lease agreement with the city of Glendale, Ariz., expires.
The former CEO of the San Jose Sharks had until midnight Thursday to buy the team from the NHL under the terms of the lease agreement with Glendale, but he was unable to get the money or investors he needed in time.
Jamison emerged as the latest and arguably best chance for the Coyotes to land an owner after more than three years of being run by the league.
He reached a 20-year, $308 million lease agreement with Glendale for Jobing.com Arena in the fall, creating what was believed to be a clear path to ending the Coyotes' up-and-down ownership saga.
The latest twist in the Coyotes' search for an owner leaves open the possibility that new bidders could give Jamison competition to buy the team.
Glendale spokeswoman Julie Frisoni said the city will have a statement today.
Ottawa Senators forward Jason Spezza will have back surgery today to repair a herniated disk. The team is hopeful he will play again this season. …
A lockout-delayed and shortened season has created a spike in fights around the league. There were 58 fights through the first 87 games this year after play Tuesday night, an increase from 39 after the same number of games last season, according to STATS. During the 1994-95 season, there were 83 fights over the first 87 games of that season.

text: d3o belongs to the "smart materials" category, which is a futuristic material with abnormal behavior characteristics. More specifically, d3o belongs to a subcategory of "dilatant foams", which dramatically change their behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft of the racquet, d3o offers new possibilities for tennis players. The d3o technology is able to sense the needs of the players during different strokes (it's able to adapt to you). On high-speed impacts (aggressive shots), the smart molecules lock together within nanoseconds and dramatically increase the stiffness of the whole racquet frame to provide maximum power. On slow-speed impacts (slice or drop shots), the d3o molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel. What does this mean to a tennis player? Passing shots are even harder and drop shots more precise, rewarding your spontaneity and supporting your courageous decisions.

Otec Precision Finish, a manufacturer of precision finishing systems, had on display its DF-3 drag finishing machine. With angled rotating toolholders that are independently driven, the DF series is specifically designed for tool manufacturers. But the company supplies several other lines of deburring and finishing systems. The CF series of disc finishing machines is designed for economical surface treatment of small turned, milled and stamped parts.
Weber Ultrasonics, manufacturer of system components such as ultrasound generators and transducers, saw the show as an ideal networking assembly. "You have the opportunity of meeting here with numerous partners, exchanging ideas and supporting each other mutually," says Nathalie Etienne, director of marketing and communication at Weber Ultrasonics GmbH. "We took advantage of this successfully this year and met with companies from Germany, elsewhere in Europe, Malaysia and India."
The Safechem closed-loop solvent handling system could be spotted in various places throughout the show floor, integrated into a number of cleaning systems. The system is designed to reduce the risk of solvent handling in industrial metal cleaning and degreasing operations. It allows operators to take advantage of the high performance cleaning of chlorinated solvents while limiting exposure and the potential of spills or emissions into the environment. Steffen Säcker, business manager at Safechem Europe GmbH, notes a trend toward increasing interest in cleaning with solvents. "A solvent renaissance appears to be taking place in many applications which demand high quality, precision cleaning," he says.
Showing a contrast in size, Rosink displayed its Eco cleaning system inside of its large front-loader, the RFL 2000. The Eco is designed for 40-percent reduction in energy usage with a height-adjustable drying system that uses an inline heater in combination with compressed air. The stainless steel housing is fully insulated, and the plastic lid provides reduced weight as well as good thermal insulation.
In addition to its Elmasonic X-tra pro modular ultrasonic cleaning system, Elma also displayed its Elmasonic S ultrasonic table-top units. These portable units are available in 13 different sizes ranging from 0.8 to 90 liters, making them suitable for a variety of small-lot applications.
To kick off the show, a press conference featured a panel of speakers that included Olaf Daebler (Deutsche Messe AG), Martin Bilz (Fraunhofer Network for Cleaning Technology), Dr. Markus Rochowicz (Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering), Hartmut Herdin (fairXperts GmbH), and Professor Dr. Lothar Schulze (SITA Messtechnik GmbH). One discussion in-volved the transition of the show from fairXperts to Deutsche Messe AG, as Mr. Daebler presented plans to continue to grow the show beyond 5,000 attendees. suggested the possibility of duplicating the show in other countries as well.
The show included a series of expert forum sessions that were held each day in the heart of the show floor and included English translations. More than 25 presentations addressed specific topics related to efficiency and costs in the field of cleaning technology, exemplary process solutions, cleaning analytics methods and systems, special processes, corrosion protection and cleaning agents, and revisions to VDA 19.
When it comes to cleaning technology, we in the U.S. can often learn a lot by examining the trends and new developments in the European market. After all, European manufacturers have long viewed cleaning as a significant part of the production process, rather than just a necessary evil. And although regulations in the U.S. for chemical usage and waste disposal are continuing to grow more strict, they are being guided by the example of those set in Europe.
Last year's parts2clean show in Stuttgart, Germany (an international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning held October 23-25, 2012), helped to confirm this notion as 230 exhibitors from 16 countries highlighted their latest technology. Almost 4,400 visitors from 39 countries traveled to the show seeking specific answers to real cleaning issues they face on the shop floor every day. The show was a good opportunity to network exhibitors with visitors in an environment that promoted brainstorming discussions, targeting the appropriate products and services for specific applications.
With clear signs that business is on the rise for manufacturers in the U.S., and as new orders come in, this is a good time for companies to re-evaluate current technologies and processes with an eye towards strengthening and building for the future. The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in September 2012 gave attendees an opportunity to review all aspects of manufacturing and to learn more about ways to improve their businesses from top to bottom. More focused shows such as parts2clean allow visitors to zero in on a specific technology that may need more attention.
For those who were not able to attend, we have assembled some highlights from the parts2clean show here. And there's yet another opportunity right around the corner (April 16-18) to continue research on cleaning requirements. Once again, this year's Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS 2013) will feature a Cleaning Pavilion, as well as the Parts Cleaning Expo (PCx), an extended series of conference sessions covering everything from fundamentals of cleaning to the environmental rules and regulations coming down the pipeline.

Best known as the home of the Montreal Expos, Olympic Stadium has witnessed much since the 1976 Olympics. When he finally hangs up the microphone, Sir Mick Jagger can always claim he's played a gig at the very same venue Pope John Paul II once led a Youth Peace Rally from.
On Saturday, the building that rioted following a 1992 Guns and Roses concert that was cut short after singer Axl Rose left the stage less than an hour in will play host to MLS Rival Week.
Battle lines will be drawn in places like Texas, Los Angeles and the Pacific North West but with upwards of 5,000 red clad Toronto FC supporters descending on la belle ville, none are more eagerly anticipated as Saturday afternoon's encounter inside Olympic Stadium.
An atmosphere that will likely rival anything European soccer will witness this weekend has the additional element of it featuring the Eastern Conference leading Montreal Impact going up against a team that thoroughly outplayed and outmanoeuvred 2012's Eastern Conference Champions during a most impressive home opener for Toronto FC.
The Impact's perfect start to the season is reward for a pre-season training camp that was as intense as the immense performances the team displayed in Seattle and Portland.
When was the last time in world football that a club matched its road win output for the entirety of the previous season in the first two weeks of the following season?
Head coach Marco Schällibaum provided the much needed sense of prospective when following Thursday training, he told TSN.ca.
"It was 10 days together, a nice trip because we have six points after two games. It is not easy to win in Seattle and Portland," said Schällibaum.
"I'm very happy because we worked very hard for this moment and that is good. Starting with the six points is also very good for the confidence."
Schällibaum wouldn't divulge if he at all expected or planned for what seemed most improbable was actually achievable come the final whistle at Jeld-Wen Field last Saturday night.
"Normally the base for me is I'm very optimistic with my life so I started the trip with some ideas but I must say six points is very big points," he said. "But I know my team now also, it was very tough, strong on the field and we worked very much with the defense which is very important when you play away."
"Now on Saturday against Toronto we must go forward and we must also be strong in the offensive part."
Although in years to come supporters will always vividly recall the perfect start to the 2013 season - this week for the club has been all about fully preparing the players for Saturday afternoon's challenge.
To ensure a sense of complacency did not take root and instead his players are in the correct mind set, Schällibaum explained much has been done on the psychological aspect.
"I just talked to the team this morning and explained we must be ready. In life you must confirm the nice things. We did so after Seattle and we reassured them again after Portland because when you are not 100 per cent on the field that makes it very difficult to win the game. The team is very professional. Psychologically, they are ready."
Not only will Saturday's encounter throw together two head coaches who are about to witness their very first Derby della 401, the match will be played on a brand new surface. The Impact first took to the new pitch behind closed doors Wednesday afternoon. Thursday's training session lasted two hours and for those in attendance it was plainly obvious the players were doing the utmost to familiarize themselves with the unique peculiarities any football pitch offers.
"The turf is better than last year, that's the reality. It's a new turf so we have this attitude to play on this turf and we are ready to play a good game," Schällibaum said of the new pitch.
Having turned down an opportunity to train on it Friday, save for the pre-match warm up and walking out in their civvies when they arrive at Olympic Stadium, Toronto FC won't have the luxury of familiarizing themselves with the new surface.
When the question of why they wouldn't train at Olympic Stadium, head coach Ryan Nelsen cited logistical purposes when he spoke with TSN 690 Thursday evening.
"It was just logistical one more than anything that we couldn't do it," said Nelsen. "Obviously, would have liked to but we just couldn't."
The last time these two teams met at Olympic Stadium in MLS action, the Impact ran out 2-1 winners and in doing so recorded their maiden victory in MLS.
Although as expected, a quite sizeable contingent of the crowd that day back in April of last year was clad in red. Overall, the attendance of just over 23,000 was a big disappointment and the expected frenzied type atmosphere never fully materialized.
Things will be a lot different Saturday afternoon.
Nelsen is astonished with the travelling support and fully appreciative they are descending on Montreal in their thousands.
"There's a huge amount of Toronto fans that are coming, which is amazing. They'll be just as loud as the home ones. It's going to be an absolute electric atmosphere. It's so good for the leagu,e it's two Canadian teams, this rivalry. It's really exciting and I think both teams just can't wait for the game."
Schällibaum, having only watched film and spoke to his players about what Olympic Stadium offers, is looking forward to soaking up the wall of sound that is sure to emanate.
"I think it will have a great ambiance. It is a stadium with lots of tradition and also will be full with supporters that will help us because the players they need this help."
The vocal battle on the terraces that even Simon Cowell would have difficulty separating a winner from a loser from will most certainly add to this particular football occasion.
At the end of the day, though, the only meaningful statistic will be which team emerges the winner down on the pitch.

We love the double-denim look on both guys and gals, but it can get a bit industrial with all of that blue jean in the mix. So, how do you soften the look and make it cute enough to wear on a first date? Take a hint from Le Blog de Betty, one of our favorite fashion bloggers! She paired this pair of adorable ballerina slippers (complete with bow) with her Lee jeans and denim workshirt. The result? Très jolie!

Opposites attract! Wanna show off your casual side (or totally rock'n'roll side, depending on what your denim looks like)? Pair up your dark wash denim jacket with a lace or crocheted skirt in off-white for a look that sends mixed signals of the best variety. Extra points for bold lipstick and a black fedora or some other statement-making hat. French blogger Valentine demonstrates below.

"Contrary to popular belief, white denim can be worn year-round, as long as its styled appropriately. When purchasing white denim, you want to be sure the fabric is not too lightweight making it see-through, but also not too heavy as that causes bunching in all the wrong places. A 9oz. white denim is ideal for anytime. Make sure pockets detailing and stitching are minimal as to not draw attention to the bum or hips/thighs. A crisp white wide leg is ideal for summer, paired with espadrilles or wooden wedges and bold colors on top! Take this opportunity to play around with your accessories, a great turquoise necklace, chunky gold bangles, etc.
In the winter I find that a classic straight leg or skinny fit are ideal for pairing with ankle boots and tucking into knee high boots. Keep the color palette in the neutral family during the winter months, and mix-in luxe fabrications such as cashmere to create a warm, sophisticated look. MiH Jeans carries two of my favorite white denim styles."

The Two Cents section was implemented in about a day -- so don't be surprised if
you find bugs or logic problems. And if you do find bugs? - please let me know.
I would really love to find a copy or a scan of the KTKT Tucson / Gap Jeans Top 40
Radio guide. It was a listing of Top 40 radio stations across the country,
published in the early to mid-70s. The front cover had a lovely young lass in a
pair of unbuttoned GAP jeans with a low-cut v-neck top and their slogan at the
time, "Fall into the Gap."
Wow. They programmed the entire album? They fit in "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" in
between "Chewy Chewy" and "Little Arrows"?
"Dusty" by the Rolling Stones at No. 29?!? Anyone ever
heard of it? Must be a typo.
I suspect it might be an error in the survey -- I can't find any evidence of a
"Dusty" by the Stones, B-Side or otherwise. There was, however, the Rag Dolls'
"Dusty" (Mala 493) which entered Billboard 01/23/65. "Dusty" is also listed in the
WSAI survey for 01/09/65.
Translation of cartoon on front page:
Man: "Doctor, it's horrible, I'm having memory lapses."
Doctor: "Ah? Since when?"
Man: "Since when what?"
(Sorry, I thought it was funny...)
Fixed an alignment problem displaying survey headlines where first line was not
centered. Problem: some headlines were pre-formatted (i.e. pre-centered), some
were not. Now looking for spaces at beginning of headline to determine if headline
is pre-formatted, in which case we won't center.
Can anyone shed any light on the Beatles song at the Hitbound #6 spot?
I understand the error in the title of "A Day In The Life", but what the heck is
"Bumble Bee"??
Just added an Advanced Search function to the surveys page. Click the advanced
button to enter additional search criteria or refine your search, such as "Format
is Progressive" or "Chart Week less than 1967-12-31", etc. It's not perfect, but
it seems to work OK. I'll add a help page one of these days...
Albums! Albums! Albums!
I've added all the chart logic for albums and have begun the process of updating
existing surveys that contain album charts. We're over 200 albums, and it's only
the first day. Already, quite a few of these albums never charted in the "major"
A VERY early U.S. chart appearance for The Beatles
(spelt incorrectly) at #41!
Can anyone make out the artist on number 40, "Don't Be A Loser, Baby" Looks like
"Gigi" ???
Although, I can't find this particular song, an
artist named Gigi did release quite a number of
singles. So, I would guess Gigi is correct.
To anyone interested who runs this website, I just became a member and would like to
contribute if I may. Someone please inform me how I may add surveys OR airchecks.

Welcome aboard, Bryan. I've sent you an e-mail detailing how to contribute.
Looking forward to having you help us preserve radio history!
Kind regards,
This survey is really dated 2-6-73. :)
I didn't realize there were people who collected radio station record surveys. When
I was a teenager, my room was wallpapered with surveys from KNAK Salt Lake City. I
hadn't thought about them in decades until the memory hit me the other day. I did
a web search and found five KNAK surveys for auction at eBay. I bid, I won, and
I'd be happy to share scans of them with you. I'd be even happier to get more from
KNAK or KCPX, scans or originals. Any hints how?
Oops! I just fixed it... Thanks for catching that. Hmmm... looks like the outer
side is actually a scan from 1973-02-13...
Great that you won those KNAK original surveys
and thanks for your offer to share scans with us.
You'll find scans of three KNAK surveys and five
KCPX surveys here at ARSA. Enjoy!
The Little Black Egg at #1!!! Whoa! Great survey. Thanks, Robert.

Although the first recorded amnesty was proclaimed at Athens yi. in 403 B.C., American practice not unexpectedly derives from English usage. Beginning with Ethelbert, the sixth-century king of Kent, and continuing through succeeding monarchies, "the king's mercy"—what Rlackstone called "the most amiable prerogative" of the British Crown—gradually became a settled part of English common law until it was recognized by parliamentary statute in the sixteenth century.

Manufacturing Industry
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, last weekend I joined my colleague from Windsor West and thousands from our community in calling upon the provincial and federal governments to act to protect our manufacturing industry. The rally "Our Jobs, Our Communities, Our Future" was a clear demonstration of the concern the people of Windsor--Essex have about the loss of jobs in this vital sector.
Later in the week I united with my NDP colleagues, the Canadian Labour Congress and again thousands of others on Parliament Hill in another rally to highlight the crisis in manufacturing and to present to the government a practical five point plan to address this problem.
Canadians have shown that we can be the best at manufacturing in the world. We want to continue that proud tradition but cannot continue to be a leading manufacturing nation without the proper tools.
It is time for the government to provide those tools and develop a manufacturing sectoral strategy and a national automotive policy.
Royal Society of Canada

James Rajotte Edmonton—Leduc, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Royal Society of Canada, the country's oldest and most prestigious scholarly organization, which came into being in 1882 at the initiative of the Marquess of Lorne who was then our governor general. The first meeting took place here in Ottawa on May 25, 1882.
The society's primary objectives remain to promote learning and recognize remarkable contributions of Canadians. The RSC: The Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada continues under the patronage of the present Governor General and it promotes and expands the founder's intentions.
The RSC has welcomed institutional members, which include all major Canadian universities. Together they sponsor forums on important issues of policy and ethics.
As a founding academy of the Council of Canadian Academies, the RSC is a supportive, collaborative presence on expert panel assessments. International research partnerships are also part of the RSC's broad and multidisciplinary outlook.
As a vital contributor to Canadian scholarly and cultural life, the Royal Society of Canada continues to build on its impressive traditions.
Drought Assistance

11 a.m.
Ken Boshcoff Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Thunder Bay, Rainy River, Kenora and Algoma districts have been suffering from a severe drought for nearly 12 months.
Cattle producers have been forced to sell down their stock and farmers have no money with which to buy supplies for the spring seeding.
The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and his parliamentary secretary have both indicated that money is available. The minister stood in the House on April 17 and said he had put forward a disaster relief framework to which all provinces have agreed.
It has been three long weeks since the minister announced $7.5 million in drought relief funding for Prince George, British Columbia, but the farmers across northwestern Ontario continue to wait for help.
I call on the minister to stop the delays and provide funds to help the farmers in Thunder Bay, Rainy River, Kenora and Algoma districts.

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, over the last month Syria has sentenced several prominent human rights defenders, intellectuals and political activists to harsh sentences for up to 12 years' imprisonment for basic efforts to promote human rights and democratic freedoms in Syria. These acts contradict fundamental practices of democracy and respect for human rights.
On April 26 the Minister of Foreign Affairs issued a public statement on the human rights and democratic situation in Syria and urged the Syrian government to ensure that its domestic laws and practices are in keeping with its international human rights obligations.
Today the Government of Canada calls on President al-Assad to show clemency and grant general pardons to Anwar al-Bunni, Kamal Labwani, Michel Kilo, Mahmoud 'Issa, Khalil Hussein and Suleiman al-Shummar, and release these and all other political prisoners. In so doing, the government of Syria would encourage democratic freedoms and the development of genuine democratic participation and electoral processes in Syria.

Vivian Barbot Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, when the most recent referendum was held in Quebec, pitting the sovereignists against the federalists, everyone had to comply with the law and the rules of the referendum debate.
But the federal government interfered in the debate and illegally spent at least $539,000, thereby flouting Quebec law. The current government was elected on its platform of greater transparency and accountability. It is surprising, to say the least, to hear the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities refer to the Option Canada affair as "minor issues".
The minister is reducing a shameful episode in the history of Canadian democracy to a mere footnote. A $539,000 hole and no indication of the cost of the love-in in Montreal: these are not minor issues.
In the name of the transparency it prides itself on, the government must thoroughly investigate the issues not covered by Justice Grenier's inquiry and shed light on—

Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, the first summit of francophone and Acadian communities is taking place in Ottawa, from June 1st to June 3rd, under the theme "A Thousand Looks, one Vision". Over 700 participants from every Canadian province and territory are gathering for this major event.
Francophone and Acadian communities represent one million people. During the summit, their officials will spell out what needs to be done to define a future vision that will promote the development and vitality of these communities.
Our government is more than ever committed to the francophone and Acadian communities, as demonstrated by our pride in being a partner in this summit.
I wish to emphasize the critical work that the participants will accomplish, and I want them to know that our government is very interested in their proceedings.
Long live Canada's francophone and Acadian communities.
Landscape Architecture Awards

Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to announce that a company in my riding of Don Valley East, Schollen & Company International, is a recipient of a National Merit Award in the 2007 Awards of Excellence in Landscape Architecture.
The landscape architecture profession is concerned with analysis, design, planning, management and rehabilitation of the environment around us.
Landscape architects integrate and apply knowledge of ecology, socio-cultural factors, economics and aesthetics to create environments that are functional, innovative and attractive.
Schollen & Company International is one of the 36 projects located in Canada, the United States and China that have been recognized for excellence in all aspects of the landscape architecture profession.
The real winners, of course, are Canadians who get to enjoy these wonderful projects.
Sam Filer

Scott Reid Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, Sam Filer was the father of four, grandfather of seven and a Superior Court judge. We honour him today because he was a model of courage and compassion who set an example for all.
He was a co-founder of the Canadian Committee of Lawyers and Jurists for Soviet Jewry, who helped thousands of Russian Jews find refuge in the west in the days of Soviet anti-Semitism.
When he was stricken with ALS, Sam Filer used his own illness to become an advocate for people with disabilities. In the end he could no longer speak but that did not stop him from delivering speeches full of warmth and humour which were read from the podium by his wife, Toni Silberman.
ALS could not take away his courage, but in the end it did steal his life. On March 28 Justice Filer was trapped by his illness in a house fire.
Today is the start of ALS Month. I know that nothing would make Sam Filer happier than knowing that his tribute today is being used to draw attention to those fellow sufferers who live on with the disease that could not destroy his spirit.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the courageous men and women of our armed forces past and present as Canadians celebrate Canadian Forces Day this Sunday, June 3.
We are a nation with a proud, distinguished and outstanding military history. From the Battle of Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach to our role in the Korean war, the bravery and dedication of our soldiers has never been doubted.
The importance of these celebrations on Sunday cannot be overstated.
We hold close in our thoughts and prayers those who currently wear our uniform in Afghanistan as they fight for the freedom of the Afghan people and for the security of our own proud nation.
I ask all members of the House to join with me in celebrating Canadian Forces Day this Sunday and to say thank you to those who have worn and continue to wear the uniform of the Canadian army, air force and navy.
Their sacrifices for our freedoms will not be forgotten.

Mr. Speaker, this weekend I will have the pleasure of representing the Bloc Québécois at the first summit of francophone and Acadian communities. This event, which is being held in Ottawa, is organized by the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada, and over 600 participants are taking part in it. Several speakers will be heard, including the Commissioner of Official Languages, Graham Fraser, the chair of the former court challenges program, Guy Matte, the president and chief executive officer of the Montfort Hospital, Gérald Savoie, and the administrator of the international organization of the francophonie, Clément Duhaime.
Five issues will be discussed: the demographic and identity challenge; the daily lives of francophones in their own language; the strategies for collective organization and mobilization; the political power and the francophonie; and the economic vitality of francophone and Acadian communities.
The Bloc Québécois is joining me in saluting this initiative and in wishing a great summit to all participants.

Mr. Speaker, the Summit of Francophone and Acadian Communities will be held this weekend in Ottawa. This initiative by the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada will bring together more than 700 representatives from these communities, to develop a vision for future development.
Francophones in minority situations have been working hard and long to advance their communities and, in spite of the real threat represented by assimilation, enormous progress has been made.
The political, cultural, economic development, communications and education sectors are all evolving very rapidly, and the direction set at this summit will no doubt guide our communities in the years to come.
I wish to congratulate the FCFA and the summit participants, who have clearly understood that networking and the development of a clear and precise plan for the future are essential to the development of their communities.
We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of your proceedings, and rest assured that the Liberal Party will be there to support you, as always.

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, as a proud supporter of the women and men in uniform in service to their country within the Canadian armed forces and as the member of Parliament for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke whose riding is home to CFB Petawawa, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize the first Sunday in June as Canadian Forces Day.
I wish to extend congratulations to Pat Oland, entertainment chairperson of Legion Branch 517 of Petawawa, in organizing a Red Sunday, featuring 10 bands with local Canadian talent as headliners: Common Ground, the Nick Armitage Band, the Legacy, the Ghost Town Cryers, Freddy Vette and the Flames, the Memphis Mafia, the Demos, Split Decision and Quicksand.
Michelle's School of Dance will have games for the kids and a pie eating contest.
As a member of the House who with all my colleagues voted unanimously to support the motion that resulted in this proclamation, I encourage all Canadians to join in this year's theme of "Celebrating Those Supporting Us" on Sunday, especially to recognize the families of our serving soldiers. We all should get out there on Sunday and show we care.
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ken Dryden York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister said:
When the Leader of the Opposition is able to stand in uniform and serve his country, then I will care about his opinion of the performance of the Minister of National Defence.
This is a truly disturbing remark. It says that the Prime Minister, who, as he said, has never been in uniform, has no right to judge the performance of his own minister. It says the military is beyond the control and direction of the people.
Who has the right to call the shots? Who is calling the shots?
