GDB 43: Wild thing
January 15 2009 04:19PM
We had to laugh. We had four emails and texts today from buddies who asked us what is wrong with the Nation.
"Oh is it down?" we asked. "Our shared server has been crashing lately." To our suprise this wasn't the case at all.
"No, no the site is up." our buddy replied. "It's just nothing has been written on it and it's 3pm. What's the deal? How am I supposed to waste time at work?"
That's rich.
For the first eight months that the Nation was around we were proud if we wrote every day. Then we started getting the team together and there are some days we have five separate articles. Even if the team sucks people still love their Oilers. Now we have people who actually want to read something on a more regular schedule. We shall attempt to meet your terrorist demands fellas. Our apologies.
Real News
Oilers and Wild play tonight. As unhappy as some of us may be in the Nation there is one thing we can hang our hat on. No matter how many mediocre games are delivered stone cold to our door by the Oilers Crap Pizza Corporation, we can all agree that we share in some common good fortune as fans of The Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club:
At least we aren't paying a fall-down like Gaborik that kind of dough for that kind of performance.
He's how talented?
How often does he get injured?
What are some of his shady "injuries?"
You offered him how much money? For how many years? And he turned it down?
Go Oil.
I was refreshing every 15 seconds & there was nothing new all day...HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WASTE TIME @ WORK?!?!?!

Oh yeah - nice interbreeding picture :)

January 15 2009, 04:41PM
That is some seriously nice shit to do dude.
Know what buck75 did nation? While the rest of you were sitting around on your collective ass and thinking deep thoughts like "I wonder if Brad Pitt still thinks about Jennifer Aniston when he's in bed with Jolie? I mean he must wander from time to time..."
Yeah while you were sitting there like that buck75 sent us Oilers tickets to auction off for the Kids with Cancer charity event tomorrow at Hudsons.
For the next month, buck75 can swear as much as he wants to on here and can tell any story no matter how disgusting. Baggedmilk is so happy he is offering to shave his entire head for a nickel for charity. That's charitable.
@ Wanye Gretz:
Uh unless tomorrow is:

Not to abuse my new found awesome power here but I don't think when my fucking GF said we should do something this weekend, I don't think she meant her driving me back home after I get shit-faced at Hudson's Bourban Street on a Friday night. I was looking forward to going & wearing one of my kick-ass OilersNation shirts & meeting some of the degenerates that post on this kick-ass site.
My appologies.
well done, sir!
an awesome gesture for a great cause!
January 15 2009, 05:02PM
What the hell? I emailed Wanye a picture of my wiener to parade around the Hudsons Party for all to praise like a Pagan God, but did he make an announcement about it? No. He probably just kept the thing for himself. For shame Wanye. For shame.
And Buck, I had no idea there was legitimate people on here with hearts, and blood and stuff. I thought the whole thing was just one big ruse to steal our emails and identities. Thank you for proving me wrong.
January 15 2009, 05:06PM
Just wait to auction them off at 11:30...by then BM and JS will be so drunk off of their four beers that they will bid against each other and get it to $500...then Wanye will come in and bid 1000 because he doesn't want to get shown up...bank on it...
Well I don't think any of the Oil will match that performance tonight, well done Buck75.
45 min to game time..............
Where's the new justice team tonight?

By GARY ARRINGTON and EUGENE SWALBERGSports Writers
The Green River Lady Pirates returned to a familiar venue the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield that has been both kind and cruel to them. They played what proved to be a very interesting game against the Altamont Lady Longhorns who they managed to beat on their home floor earlier in the season; but basketball is a great team sport that demands that each player give their all plus a little bit more to make an outcome the team desires. This might not have been one of those games.
The Lady Pirates hit the floor and kept the game competitive hitting the quarter mark tied at nine apiece and going into half time down by five. They came in the third quarter keeping it close until the last seconds. Down by four, with under a minute to go, Altamont hit a 3-pointer to get the crowd going. Green River goes down the floor and comes away with no score while Altamont hurries down the floor and launches one at the buzzer - 'nuttin but net' - ouch.
With the Pirates down by 10 going into the fourth quarter they had their work cut out for them. They ultimately went down by 12 but whittled it back to within a bucket or two. With just under a minute to play, Green River was down by four. Some good defense and a made basket by the Pirates, the score is now 45 to 47 with 21.4 seconds remaining, Altamont with the lead.
Both teams were feeling it now and the crowds for each team were ramping up the volume.
A missed shot underneath by the Pirates and needing to quickly foul to save what time remained put the Lady Longhorns to the line and they made them when they needed to. Final score, Lady Pirates 46; Lady Longhorns 50. This one hurt. This was a game the Pirates needed to win and they knew what they needed to do.
The game proved to have some interesting twists which will be chewed on for some time and then the lessons will be learned. In three quarters the Pirates scored 23 points. They scored 23 points in the fourth quarter. Brandi Webster who has led all scores for just about all season managed one field goal with no points from the charity stripe. Cady Mecham who has proven to be a force down low and has steadily improved as the season progressed busted out a career game with 23 point in the paint. Cady was on fire. The next highest point totals came from Courtney Carter with six points followed by Crosby Hatt with five. Tracy Engleman and Lindsay Spadafora each added four points with Brandi Webster adding two while Bailie Packer and Sarah Swalberg each added one.
Call me crazy, but in the sports world there's something magical about a win, it seems to set the world straight again. That's exactly what happened during the girls basketball game with Green River Lady Pirates against St. Joseph Lady Jayhawks. It was a battle of the beatens. Looser goes home and the winner survives for another day...the excitement of high school basketball.
The Lady Pirates were fired up and ready to take it to the Jayhawks. Talk on the ride to the SVC was of a desire to thrash their opponent in hopes of easing the pain of being where they were in the bracket. Well, come to find out early, the Lady Jawhawks must have had similar feelings because the game was anything but a blowout. The first quarter ended with the Pirates up by two with the scoring spread equally between Bailie Packer, Brandi Webster, Cady Mecham, Crosby Hatt and Lindsay Spadafora - the five starters.
During the second quarter, Lindsay Spadafora found her shot and added five more points while Brandi Webster added four. The Pirates left the floor at half time with a 25 to 14 lead.
It's a good thing the Pirates had a pretty good lead because the Jayhawks came out in the third quarter with a fire built under them. Their third quarter total of 15 points bested by one their previous two quarters; while the Pirates managed to put in 11 points to keep a lead.
The Lady Jayhawks wouldn't take a hint that the Pirates wanted this game pretty bad and they kept making plays. A timely 3-point shot late in the quarter brought it to with four points; while Brandi Webster and Crosby Hatt took over the fourth quarter scoring all nine points, six and three respectively.
Though the Pirates were hoping for a larger margin of victory, a win is a win and they were excited. They were still at State and were getting pumped to play Duchesne for the second time this year.
On Friday, Green River took on Duchesne and won again, this time by the score of 48-34. Brandi led the team with 14 points, all in the second half. Brandi picked up her third personal foul four minutes into the game and sat the rest of the first half as Duchesne built a 10 point lead at the half 24-14.
After narrowing the gap in the third quarter to a five point lead for Duchesne at 30-25, Green River blew them out in the final period to win going away. The Pirates won the fourth quarter 23-4. After having shot just under 50 percent from the free throw line in the first two days, Green River made 24 of 28 to finish this game at 86 percent.
After Lindsay scored on a baseline jumper with 4:30 to go in the game and the score tied at 32-32, Green River would only make free throws from this point on and they were 19 for 22 for the quarter.
Scoring in the game were Crosby with 11 points, Cady, Lindsay and Sarah with six points each, Tracy with three points and Bailie with two points.
There is a natural progression that happens in high school sports where seniors play their final game or finish their final event. This happened Saturday for four seniors who played their last game as Lady Pirates for the girls basketball program for Green River High School-Bailie Packer, Brandi Webster, Crosby Hatt and Lindsay Spadafora. It was a bittersweet day for each of the girls. Bitter in the fact that it was the last game and the fact that the score board showed them with less points than their opponent but oh, so sweet in the fact that they have each helped take their team to the State Championship games the past four years. This years trip to State had the girls losing their first game, winning the next two and losing the final game against the Lady Wayne High Badgers.
The first half began with both teams showing hustle, determination and some great defense which showed in the first quarter score of 10 to 6, favoring the Lady Badgers. The second quarter was much the same with the Badgers managing two points from the charity stripe and the Lady Pirates a field goal by Brandi Webster.
The second half saw the same hustle but with a bit more offense being spread around for the Lady Pirates with Brandi, Cady, Tracy and Lindsay each scoring in the third. But it wasn't enough against some lucky 3-point shots that have a remarkable way of impacting the score. The Badgers made the first tre, were fouled and put to the line to score three more points and then let another tre fly, to see it strike nothing but net. With 5:36 left in the third quarter the score is now 21 to 10 - a 9 to 2 run.
Now not all is lost though. The Lady Badgers coach wasn't at all pleased with a particular call and the referees had an ear full and called a technical foul against her, putting Brandi Webster on the line. Brandi made the two technical foul shots putting Lindsay Spadafora to shoot a pair and she made one of two. The Pirates got the next possession but were unable to capitalize ending a scoring opportunity for the Pirates.
The score with 44 seconds remaining was 33 to 29 for the Badgers but the Pirates couldn't close the gap and were forced to foul sending the Lady Badgers to the free throw line-and they didn't miss-final score 37 to 29.
Rich High School defeated Panguitch 47-32 for the title. The Green River High Lady Pirates finished eighth in the four-day tournament.

"Material is very stiff on this shoe, especially the back by my heel. This is a house shoe, it's supposed to be soft, comfy, and warm. Instead it rubs on the back of my heel and leaves red marks. I should not have to break in a house shoe. Plusses: Fur is soft. Very cute. Warm, just wish the rim wasn't so hard and non-pliable. Or Maybe if the Fur came up over the rim to protect my skin."

Hi, does anyone know what is happening to that project, its been 5 years almost since the Salt Lake olympics and the movie is still not out there.... Who know if it will happen or this project is down the drain???
Hi, does anyone know what is happening to that project, its been 5 years almost since the Salt Lake olympics and the movie is still not out there.... Who know if it will happen or this project is down the drain???
I think its still a work in progress but got pushed back a bit due to scheduling and a few other issues. I think there are more details posted at the S&P board if you want to check that out for more information. I think its been put on hold for a while. Here's the link to the board and below that is the relevant information I found when I did a search.
Relevant Info (from Amy at S&P.com):
I started to get curious about what had ever happened to this, so I decided to do a little research and I thought I'd fill everyone in on what I found out.
First of all, it looks like the full title is going to be "Olympic Love: The Salé Pelletier Story." That was new to me, the "Olympic Love" part anyway, I don't remember knowing that before. It's already been posted in this thread, but here's a link to information and a summary of the movie.
I did another search with the new title and came across this link...
According to that, the film, as of winter 2006, was "in development."
And lastly, the first link mentions that in addition to Minds Eye, the movie is being developed by Panacea Entertainment, and here's the link to their website.
To find the blurb about s&p, click on television at the bottom of their home page, and you'll find the movie if you scroll down under television index.
So, now that I've typed that all out, it really doesn't seem like much new information, so sorry if this is all old info, but it does appear that at least the movie is still happening. Anybody else know anything more?
I would think it'd had been canned by now, it doesn't seem as important/popular now... and I don't think it'd get the ratings (it's supposed to be made for TV, right?) that it would have 4 years ago
It could still be successful as a made for TV movie... depends on how they spin (no pun intended) it.
The information/plans regarding this have been so hot and cold, though, that it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it never comes into fruition.
I would think Lifetime could pick it up and have slightly good results.
Does anyone has heard anything on that project that's been pospone many many times ???
You've all ready asked this question once before (I merged that thread with this one) and everyone has said everything that they know including Erica who runs Jamie & Dave's website. If anyone has any new information, I'm sure it will be posted here.
Thank you for this reponse.

Welcome to Parkinson's Research and Education Foundation
The Parkinson's Research and Education Foundation (PREF) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization (TIN# 20-0888895) whose mission is to support research initiatives and the projectSUNSHINE research database; educational and wellness programs; support groups and services; and regional and website outreach for patients with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers.
PREF fills vital unmet needs by providing educational, wellness, and supportive activities that are crucial to help patients, caregivers and family members cope with the challenges that are encountered from diagnosis through the long-term treatment for Parkinson's disease. These include: patient and caregiver support groups, educational symposiums, dance therapy, Tai Chi, music therapy, chair yoga, art therapy, balance workshops, safety seminars, Rise and Shout, acting therapy, vestibular boxing, and Parkinson's 101 ongoing educational lectures.
PREF also provides support for projectSUNSHINE, an epidemiological longitudinal research database initiative which is one of the largest collections of epidemiological information on Parkinson's disease in the elderly in the world. This research database has led to the presentation at scientific meetings on Parkinson's disease of numerous studies identifying more optimal treatment strategies in PD.
Whats Happening?
On December 5, 2011, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research and the Parkinson's Research and Education Foundation (PREF) of Boca Raton partnered to present an Educational "Research Roundtable" Symposium in the Dawson Theatre at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Over 250 guests attended the Educational "Research Roundtable" Symposium which featured a discussion and Q&A session with Todd Sherer, PhD, CEO of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and Stuart H. Isaacson, MD, Medical Director of the Parkinson's Research and Education Foundation. The two nationally regarded Parkinson's experts spoke about the latest research studies and emerging therapies for Parkinson's Disease. The Symposium was followed by a fundraising cocktail reception at the newly opened Phillipe Chow in Boca Raton. This event raised funding for Parkinson's Disease research, support services, and educational and wellness programs in the community.
At the Research Roundtable Symposium, Dr. Sherer described how the MJFF has successfully partnered with pharmaceutical companies to speed development of novel treatments for Parkinson's disease. Dr. Isaacson highlighted how these efforts have led to "over sixty new medications for Parkinson's disease in clinical trials in the US with over a dozen of these clinical studies underway at the Boca Raton site alone. These include clinical trials to not only treat symptoms of dyskinesia, off periods, hallucinations, and orthostatic hypotension, but also several research programs aimed at slowing progression of the disease."

What is mental health wellness counseling?
Counseling explained by the American Counseling Association
Throughout our lives, we encounter many challenges; conflicts in relationships, life transitions, emotional crises, educational and career decisions, physical illness and disability, and many other events that may be difficult to handle. Sometimes the challenges are exciting. Sometimes they're frightening. And sometimes we can benefit from help and support as we strive to master them.
A mental health wellness counselor is trained and committed to providing the help and support you may need to master the challenges of life.
Working with a diverse range of techniques and skills, mental health wellness counselors work with people to help them maximize their potential, make positive changes in their lives, and achieve their goals.
In their work with clients, mental health wellness counselors help identify goals and develop solutions to problems that cause emotional turmoil, teach and enhance communication skills, strengthen self-esteem, and promote positive, successful behaviors.
Promoting educational success
ATSU mental health wellness counselors can play a critical role in maximizing a student's educational success and getting the most out of their medical education by:
- Helping students to prevent and eliminate barriers to learning
- Helping to equip students with the personal and social skills they need to lead healthy, balanced, successful lives
- Resolving emotional and personal issues that interfere with academic success
Improving mental and emotional well-being
From childhood through late adulthood, there are times when you may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. ATSU mental health wellness counselors offer the caring, expert assistance you need during these difficult times.
Mental health wellness counselors offer help in addressing issues such as:
- Anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional problems and disorders
- Substance abuse and other addictions
- Family and relationship issues
- Sexual abuse and domestic violence
- Eating disorders
- Social and emotional difficulties related to disability and illness
- The death of a loved one
- Adapting to life transitions
Techniques used in counseling
- Information and education about how we make emotional decisions
- Coping methods for dealing with difficult times
- Communication skills
- Integrating physical, emotional and spiritual practices
- Releasing old trauma that affects our life
Everything discussed during counseling sessions is kept confidential. ATSU mental health wellness counselors are required by law to abide by state-mandated rules of confidentiality.
No member of the ATSU faculty, staff, or student body will be informed that you are receiving mental health wellness counseling, nor have access to your files without your explicit, written consent.
Confidentiality applies to all students even if the student has been mandated for counseling. Mandated students are asked to sign a release allowing ATSU mental health wellness counselors to report treatment compliance to the appropriate referring person.
Exceptions to confidentiality:
Your right to confidentiality does not apply in the following situations:
- Any report or suspicion of child abuse or neglect
- Any report of suicidal thoughts with intent to follow through
- Any report of homicidal thoughts with intent to follow through

Unless you have a serious manhunt-playing agenda this summer or you're still going to warehouse raves in upstate New York, you may not be able to think of too many reasons why owning glow-in-the-dark jeans is necessary. But necessary or not, they have arrived (and they're pretty damn cool). They're by Naked & Famous, and you can score them at Barney's for $240 this July. Apparently after five washes your glow will start to fade (so use them wisely).
Images via Refinery29.
We've come up with a list of things you shouldn't do while wearing glow-in-the-dark jeans:
1. Attempt to run from the police at night.
2. Attempt to run from your angry girlfriend at night.
3. Attempt to surprise someone at a surprise party, in the dark.
4. Attempt to casually skip in front of the bathroom line in a dark bar.
5. Be taken seriously in any situation where the lights are out.
That said, we encourage you to give this innovative new denim technology a try.

Posted on 07/22/2014 11:28:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Less than an hour after an appeals court in Washington ordered the Obama administration to turn off the spigot of federal subsidies to consumers through U.S.-run health-care exchanges, an appeals court in Virginia ruled that the subsidies should be allowed to keep on flowing.
With the future of Obamacare hanging in the balance, the back-to-back opinions raise the likelihood of another Supreme Court showdown over the the presidents marquee law.
The two circuits split over an issue fundamental to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. That is, whether the Internal Revenue Service had the authority under the statute passed by Congress to extend federal subsidies to coverage acquired through federal exchanges.
In 36 states, the federal government runs some or all of the online exchanges. So, if the subsidies are invalidated, the number of people who must purchase health insurance or face a penalty could shrink significantly.

The only vote that even possibly could change to make it 5-4 the way we want it is...
C.J. Roberts
John Roberts is compromised.
His last opinion made no sense in the context of Constitutional law and in fact he created his own constitutional basis for upholding the PPACA.
I wish I was wrong in saying that SCOTUS will uphold the 4th circuit ruling.
Gonna be hard for SCOTUS to analyze Obamacare again with Robert's head stuck in the sand.
These court procedures will never finish out before this country is GONE. Too bad our founding fathers didn't anticipate this tactic.
Too little, too late.
I see zero chance that Roberts is going to flip sides and vote to throw out Obamacare on this issue.
Always remember, the Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says.
These court procedures will never finish out before this country is GONE. Too bad our founding fathers didnt anticipate this tactic.
Too little, too late.
Speaking of compromised. If you go to any of the websites where these rulings are reported and read the comments, you'll see many of our fellow citizens are compromised. They're completely happy with making us buy things we don't want. At the anti illegal immigration rallies around the country you had thousands of people coming together in SUPPORT of what's happening at the border, with vitriol for those of us who wanted some semblance of law. So, whatever the court decides, we're too divided to keep living under the same laws. They want to dictate everything we do. They want us to pay them for doing thins we find disgusting, and criminalize our thoughts and words. We can't live with them anymore.
The court may be too busy working on transgender rights to bother with this matter.
Roberts will not change.
Roberts view of being a Conservative SC Justice is that of a minimalist. His vote on the ACA basically telegraphed his view that it Congresses role not the Supreme Court's role to decide on the fate of the ACA.
So the SC will likely force Congress to deal with the issue just in time for the 2016 election. Does anyone seriously think the Congress Critters will tell millions of folks on the subsidies, and the big insurance companies making big profits from those subsidies, that Congress is going to take away those subsidies in an election year?
I think those who prejudge Roberts are wrong to do so, but only time will tell.
Obama will never let the ACA be compromised in any shape or form, no way he lets the SC rule against his law in a manner that would make it null and void.
You are likely to be right. Hoping for change...for C.J. Roberts
I can't blame them.
If you have a bad record on this one issue that affects everyone, it's hard to regain trust.
RE: I think those who prejudge Roberts are wrong to do so, but only time will tell.
I cant blame them.
If you have a bad record on this one issue that affects everyone, its hard to regain trust.
RE: His vote on the ACA basically telegraphed his view that it Congresses role not the Supreme Courts role to decide on the fate of the ACA.
If this is so, then the right decision would have been to in effect say this :
"The law as written now, PENALIZES people who do not purchase healthcare. That is a violation of the constitution. However, if it were written as a tax, then Congress can tax people for not purchasing healthcare. But since as written, it IS NOT a TAX but a PENALTY, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL".
In this way, he could have thrown the law back to Congress to rewrite.
Instead, he RE-IMAGINED what was CLEARLY a PENALTY into a TAX, in effect, rewriting the law himself.
Communist manipulation of our so called "courts". What a joke. A real circus. Flippin' lowlife "judges". Our laws mean NOTHING! Their rulings depend only on which party THEY work for.
Congress is going to have to change the law. Not the Roberts's SC.
Unfortunately, Congress is populated by folks only interested in getting reelected so I'm not holding my breath.
By upholding it AS WRITTEN and as Congress INTENDED it (that the subsidies be an incentive for states to establish exchanges), he thereby eliminates subsidies for states with no exchanges, and hoists O'care on its own petard.
Thus he is consistent with his earlier ruling.
FReepmail me to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
If you are right about Roberts, then he should rule that the subsidies are illegal. Congress already, in fact, DID tell people that they would not get any subsidies if their state did not participate in Obamacare — that's what the law actually says. If Roberts truly is a minimalist and won't vote against the intent of Congress, then he will vote that the subsidies are not legal; that's what's in the law that Congress actually passed.
All tied up 1-1 so we decide this by penalty kicks right?
Robert's will say the part of the original ACA decision striking the provisions expanding Medicaid made the wording in question ambiguous.
Roberts will force Congress to deal with the issue whether they want to or not....
You forgot their RECENT 'Hobby Lobby' decision in favor of HL!!!!
Excellent. I agree with your analysis. Roberts will give the subsidies the BOOT!
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Roberts pulled Obama's chestnuts out of the fire one time. He will do it again.
Like he made it turn out the ay we wanted it before?
Who will enforce it if it is found to be illegal? The executive branch has been thumbing his nose at the laws, constitution and courts for 6 years, and nothing happens.
I disagree. It's not about sides with Roberts. Roberts thinks Obamacare is terrible policy. He pretty much said so in his Obamacare opinion. He understands, however, that his job is not to determine whether a law is good policy, but instead to determine whether there is Constitutional support for the law. We all hated that his view that the tax clause gives the Feds the power to tax those who do not buy insurance had the effect of keeping the awful Obamacare law alive. Remember, though, that he agreed with the majority that the Feds do not have the power to force people to buy insurance. That was a significant limitation on the Commerce Clause and a significant victory for those of us who want to rein in big government. I can't imagine he would think it's appropriate for the IRS to issue regulations that contradict clear language in the legislation giving the IRS the power to issue those regulations. We'll see.
RE: Remember, though, that he agreed with the majority that the Feds do not have the power to force people to buy insurance...
OK, where in the law does it say that not buying health insurance will subject you to a TAX?
It says that you are subject to a PENALTY.
Obama himself told George Stephanopoulos that the mandate is NOT A TAX.
See here:
How did that morph in a tax?
RE: He told Congress to fix it themselves.
Well then, he should have left the law alone and declared in unconstitutional AS WRITTEN.
RE: Roberts can kill Obamacare by upholding it.
By upholding it AS WRITTEN and as Congress INTENDED it
SIGH, if only....
Roberts DID NOT uphold the law AS WRITTEN when it came to the healthcare purchase mandate.
AS WRITTEN is says that those who don't buy health insurance are subject to ta PENALTY.
Roberts CHANGED it to make it mean a TAX.
The man simply REWROTE the law from the bench.
How can we be confident that he won't similarly rewrite this portion of the law?
If Obama told the truth:
"If you like your doctor, you can have the IRS as your new doctor."
The government argued both in its brief and during oral argument that the penalty was a tax which it had authority to impose pursuant to the taxing clause. Roberts didn't pull it out of thin air.
RE: The government argued both in its brief and during oral argument that the penalty was a tax which it had authority to impose pursuant to the taxing clause
So, Obama was lying when he said THE MANDATE IS NOT A TAX.
See here:
Of course he was. Does it surprise you that Obama would lie about such a thing?
I'm pretty bitter after 2012, what a punch to the gut the SCOTUS decision and election was. :/
If Roberts holds true to form, he will state that Congress is the remedy, that Congress stated what it intended, and if it intended something different than it stated it is up to Congress to correct it's plain language.
John Roberts will vote for federal subsidizing of ObamaCare. I have zero doubt about this.
It's about federal money:
If ObamaCare state exchanges are already funded by federal money channeled through those state exchanges, it will be easy for Roberts to say that was the intent. (And, it would be harder to take him to task over it.)
If ObamaCare state exchanges are funded by state money, then Roberts will find that the federal government should be funding all subsidies despite what the law said, and that because of the federal taxes that are levied. This will be a harder place to arrive, but Roberts will somehow do it, given his finding that ObamaCare is funded by 'taxes' and not 'mandates'.
"Gonna be hard for SCOTUS to analyze Obamacare again with Roberts head stuck in the sand."
Roberts would have ruled the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional, and he would have done so with more sound legal reasoning than he has ever displayed in Obamacare.
Federal injustices like John Roberts regularly decided to invent a whole intent separate from that which was clearly written.
If congress has Intended something other than what was written congress would have written that instead of what they did. To infer any other intent is a lairs argument.
In this particular case Congressional democrats clearly passed this as a kind of Opt out clause. If Robert's claims about the law's unworkable are to have any merit they would have to recognize its clear opt-out provision.
OK, first the obvious.
- The USA is basically lawless.
The "law" is whatever a left-wing neo-marxist ideological judge says it is to further their marxist agenda.
Natural law and rule of law is dead.
- Two, Roberts most likely was shown his NSA file with someone saying,
" You know, be kind of a shame if this pics and this info of you being in the closet got out now wouldn`t it. Be much easier to just find the ACA legal and all this goes away."
Krauthammer nailed this tonight, reminding me of info I'd forgotten from way back when. The democrat congress INTENTIONALLY didn't fund non-state exchanges. They did so to FORCE STATES to enact a state exchange. The penalty was, if they didn't do so, that they wouldn't get to participate in the subsidies. The liberals thought that would force the unhappy states to enter the exchanges.
Most states still chose not to be a part of the exchanges. Now the democrats are trying to say their intent was to fund everyone. Krauthammer reminded me. That's simply not true.
I believe you have it right.
If the intent was to subsidize everyone they would not have even mentioned the exchanges. They would have given the subsidy to everyone who was otherwise qualified.
This is a dishonest decision which is evidence that our courts are utterly corrupt.

This was really good! I like the development of capricorn´s story. This is gonna get interesting.
I really hope lucy will get to use some of her newer spirits. Obviously gemini could be SO SO usefull in these fights. Hopefully she will use it well.
Lucy has so many untapped potential and latent magic powers, i really hope she gets a bigger power boost soon. Maybe after she collects all 12 zodiac spirits her power will exponentially grow.
Would be nice if she could start using those epic star spells and maybe even the celestial king eventually. She´s obviously destined to be the greatest spirit mage to walk on the face of the earth.
So lets talk about what lucy is missing:
-capricorn (the guy has the power to decrease the magical power of humans, and controls an army/casts spells) Great addition to lucy's team.
Hopefully libra has something to do with spellcasting. Would be nice of it is a spellcasting spirit or has timemagic or whatever.(balance)
Pisces could take many shapes really, curious to see.
How cool would it be if she learns to summon more at the same time and starts focusing on casting epic spells that summon stars and then spirit king/queen or whatever. xD

Item Details
- Height:
9 3/4 Inches
- Period:
- Origin:
A pair of young satyrs frolics in this enchanting pair of Wedgwood majolica candlesticks. Boating exceptional glazing and color, these lights were part of the renowned Kadison Collection, which featured some of the rarest Wedgwood in the world, and were part of the 1971 Wedgwood exhibit at San Francisco's de Young Museum in 1971. Wedgwood began to manufacture majolica circa 1861. The company produced a variety of items in this exciting style, including cachepots, pitchers, candlesticks, cheese bells, umbrella stands, sardine boxes, plates and bread trays. These items boast dense glazes and subjects that were sometimes formal and sometimes naturalistic and humorous. Though the art form was a departure from their signature jasper wares, the same superior level of craftsmanship can be seen in these remarkable earthenwares. Today, Wedgwood majolica is by far the most desirable for collectors of fine ceramics.

All the ones with Jiraiya speaking are definitely fake. Jiraiya himself stated that his voicebox/throat had collapsed.
It might also be possible some are meant as thoughts
ffs why did Kishi off Jiraiya like that? He was totally awesome, why would he!? WHY!?
Does this mean the manga coming to an end?
Also this makes me think, perhaps another season is needed? Like when they are all adults now / 18ish lol...

that could be a date. i mean remember jiraiya was supposed to be writing something of a journal entry of things he saw. so he would most likely date things as he wrote it in the journal.
i dunno what to make of these numbers. maybe they're page numbers to make things easier to find or maybe some kind of coordinates.
Umm I think that this number 9, 31, 8 maybe is some kind of code if someone saw national treasure may know what I talking about remember the code behind the declaration of independe tree line that form a code that was the number of page the number of sentence and the number of the word I think this can be the same but in the book of jiraiya and the other number 106, 7 207,16 those look like coordinates. Oh I think the manga is gonna go in another time skip for naruto train more
I don't know. If I were Jiriah and within mere seconds of dying, would I write the Number of a page in a book, or even books in this case, or would I just simply write the name of the bad dude and get the message out fast, before I expire?
Perhaps the numbers are something Jiriah knows that Tsunade would understand completely.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise

All he did for God or his people was to beget the ammonite and the Moabite, the enemies of both.
The ammonite stem branched into a most luxuriant variety of forms.
It has been divided on the coast into four distinct zones, each characterised by its own particular species of ammonite.
They are already scratching the ambitious itch of Tobiah, the ammonite.
The fossils in this part are not numerous; an inoceramus, a terebratula, and rarely an ammonite, are found.
Tobiah, the ammonite, was related to several Judan families.
If they are to recognise an answer it must be some tiny pattern, a sprig of flower, or an ammonite figure on the fabric.
In the ornaments of the doorway we see the ammonite and medlar.
The assault on the ammonite army was made in the morning watch, and continued till midday.
The most important and stimulating event in the seas is the arrival of the ammonite.
"cephalopod mollusk," 1758, from French (Breyn, 1732), "better established" [Century Dictionary] by French zoologist Jean Guillaume Bruguière (c.1750-1798) in 1789, from Medieval Latin (cornu) Ammonis "horn of Ammon," the Egyptian god of life and reproduction, who was depicted with ram's horns, which the fossils resemble. The resemblance also was noted in ancient times.
the usual name of the descendants of Ammon, the son of Lot (Gen. 19:38). From the very beginning (Deut. 2:16-20) of their history till they are lost sight of (Judg. 5:2), this tribe is closely associated with the Moabites (Judg. 10:11; 2 Chr. 20:1; Zeph. 2:8). Both of these tribes hired Balaam to curse Israel (Deut. 23:4). The Ammonites were probably more of a predatory tribe, moving from place to place, while the Moabites were more settled. They inhabited the country east of the Jordan and north of Moab and the Dead Sea, from which they had expelled the Zamzummims or Zuzims (Deut. 2:20; Gen. 14:5). They are known as the Beni-ammi (Gen. 19:38), Ammi or Ammon being worshipped as their chief god. They were of Semitic origin, and closely related to the Hebrews in blood and language. They showed no kindness to the Israelites when passing through their territory, and therefore they were prohibited from "entering the congregation of the Lord to the tenth generation" (Deut. 23:3). They afterwards became hostile to Israel (Judg. 3:13). Jephthah waged war against them, and "took twenty cities with a very great slaughter" (Judg. 11:33). They were again signally defeated by Saul (1 Sam. 11:11). David also defeated them and their allies the Syrians (2 Sam. 10:6-14), and took their chief city, Rabbah, with much spoil (2 Sam. 10:14; 12:26-31). The subsequent events of their history are noted in 2 Chr. 20:25; 26:8; Jer. 49:1; Ezek. 25:3, 6. One of Solomon's wives was Naamah, an Ammonite. She was the mother of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:31; 2 Chr. 12:13). The prophets predicted fearful judgments against the Ammonites because of their hostility to Israel (Zeph. 2:8; Jer. 49:1-6; Ezek. 25:1-5, 10; Amos 1:13-15). The national idol worshipped by this people was Molech or Milcom, at whose altar they offered human sacrifices (1 Kings 11:5, 7). The high places built for this idol by Solomon, at the instigation of his Ammonitish wives, were not destroyed till the time of Josiah (2 Kings 23:13).

Consider hundreds of motorcycle riders on bikes of all shapes, sizes and colors roaring across the Great Plains, over the Northern Rockies, alongside the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah and the deserts of Nevada on the way to Reno. Now imagine these riders to be American wartime veterans riding 2,100 miles to make possible a college education for the children of those who have died defending our freedoms since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The American Legion National Commander Paul A. Morin will lead the second annual American Legion Legacy Run from the American Legion National Headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind. to the 89th annual American Legion National Convention in August 2007.
The American Legion Legacy Run will assemble at Speedway Post 500 next to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis on Aug. 18. Early on Aug. 19, the national commander and the American Legion riders will depart Indianapolis and head west, proceeding along Interstate 72 and Interstate 80 through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
According to Morin, the six day journey, designed to raise funds for the American Legacy Scholarship program of the American Legion, is one way to show the American Legion's deep appreciation for those who paid the ultimate price for freedom.
"As an unfortunate consequence of America's war on terror, many children of our active duty military personnel are now members of single parent families," Morin said. "In most cases, this also means their chances to attend college have greatly diminished. Children of military personnel who die on active duty are entitled to receive some money toward a college education, but it is not enough."
The American Legion Legacy Riders' goal is to raise $250,000 for the American Legacy Scholarship fund.
"These funds will ensure that higher education will be a reality for these families," Morin said. "Providing for the children our military personnel left behind is our civic duty, and an education is a powerful way to show our thanks."
Morin encourages riders from all points in the United States to join the Run either in Indianapolis or along the route to Reno.

soapy wrote:I purchased my spoons at a party a couple years ago now.. I love them! Never had an issue with them...I use them both especially for the smaller increments of spices & herbs which actually lead me to thinking why not for the different teas as a guide but a scoop
I don't' want to weigh out my teas I just want to drink them....maybe why I don't like some of them...
I can't find people to give them away too either....oh well
buy the way when my kids loose the remotes I get up and use the dials!!! I'm certainly not lazy! (I do see your point though ) ;o)
Yeah, the main reason though they're good for herbs and spices though is that most herbs and spices are rather small in size. I.e. powders, dusts, granules, etc. Like imagine if you were trying to use it for whole chili peppers, star anise, vanilla beans, saffron strands, whole nutmeg, etc. It's a bit hard to equal most of those out, which is why recipies call for them on a per item basis. (nutmeg not so much).

For those who are just beginning their study of Greek and especially those using David Black's primer, there is a web site that you might find useful. The link is http://thebible.net/video/greek/. It consists of 35 prerecorded lectures on NT Greek and appears to walk through Black's text. I don't know the gentleman conducting the training, but his name is John Moore. The first video states that the material is freely available for non-commercial use.
I watched a couple minutes for a few lectures and found them to be sound. That's not an endorsement of the entire series, but from what I saw, I think it could be helpful for a self-learner.

5 Bills that could see reduced roles in 2014
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 27 2014 12:23PM
Entering the 2014 offseason, the Buffalo Bills felt as though they were a team that were just a few pieces away from competing for a playoff spot in the upcoming campaign. That's the way they've addressed both free agency and the NFL Draft, which could mean playing time for certain individuals on the team may go down.
On Monday, WGR outlined the
five players on the team that could see a heightened role
from what they did in 2013. Now, we'll take a look at who could see their playing time going down for the 2014 regular season.
Keep in mind this is for players that were on the roster at the end of the year in 2013, not for those that just entered the fray at some point in the current offseason. Here's a look at who could be affected:
1) Doug Legursky (2013: 765 snaps on offense)
- One doesn't need to have an expert knowledge of offensive line technique to realize that Doug Legursky struggled mightily in 2013 after the team used him as the replacement for the even worse Colin Brown. Legursky was a late free agent addition to the Bills and figured to challenge Brown for the starting job. However, Legursky got hurt which led to the Bills going with Brown until the former was healthy enough to play every snap. He is not the model offensive lineman that Doug Marrone has said he's looking for. He wants big, long-limbed and powerful players all across the line of scrimmage. Legursky is 6-foot-1, has short arms and didn't really pack the necessary punch Marrone was looking for. His snaps will go down tremendously with the signing of Chris Williams in the offseason, but he'll still have a good shot at making the roster. As it's currently constructed, Legursky is the only player that has a lot of experience playing center, so he may be the main backup for the interior of the line unless one of the younger players steps up at training camp.
2) Manny Lawson (2013: 706 snaps on defense)
- When Mike Pettine got the head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo reacted with the hiring of Jim Schwartz as the new defensive coordinator, one of the Bills' key free agent acquisitions in 2013 likely knew his role would be diminished. Manny Lawson came to the Bills to play outside linebacker, and became a big part of Pettine's defense as a key edge defender against the run. With a switch back to the 4-3 defensive scheme though, Lawson's high snap count will likely go down in 2014. The Bills have made it public that Lawson will be a defensive end in the new scheme, a position in which he never really could nail down since he's gotten to the NFL. He'll be used mostly against the run, but the presence of Jerry Hughes will likely dictate a lower snap count. Lawson will also be in the mix to be a backup linebacker, but the team has made it clear that Kiko Alonso, Brandon Spikes and Keith Rivers will be the starting trio in base defense. It all adds up to Lawson's time on the field to fall from 2013.
3) Fred Jackson (2013: 663 snaps on offense)
- This is not an indication that Fred Jackson's playing level has fallen at all. It's merely a product of the running back environment in Orchard Park as it's currently constructed. Due to C.J. Spiller not having as big of an impact as the team first expected him to, and with the younger back going through a high ankle sprain a good portion of the season, Jackson played the majority of snaps on a team that had no depth behind those two. As the team enters the 2014 season, Jackson is 33-years old and on the final year of his contract, Spiller is fully healthy and the Bills likely have a more defined role for him and the team went out and traded a mid-round pick for a young running back with low mileage and a lot of potential (Bryce Brown). Jackson will still have a solid role in the offense, it just may not be as big as it was in 2013.
4) Corbin Bryant (2013: 329 snaps on defense)
- During 2013, Corbin Bryant got way more playing time than many expected when he made the team. While he had his moments of solid play here or there, he didn't exactly prove to be a player that can consistently win at the line of scrimmage. In Jim Schwartz's defense, winning those battles up front will be the key, which is why a younger, more disruptive player like Stefan Charles could find his way ahead of Bryant on the depth chart. Bryant still has a chance to make the roster with no substantial additions to the defensive tackle group through free agency or the draft, but the team could look at him as expendable with a bigger defensive end like Jarius Wynn on the roster. Either way, his role on the defense will likely go down in 2014.
5) Nickell Robey (2013: 609 snaps on defense)
- This one is more of a hunch than anything, because Nickell Robey had a very good rookie season for the Bills. However, Robey's skills are tailor-made for Mike Pettine's defense as that blitzing nickel who can get to the quarterback and make plays. That's not to say he won't be a fit in Jim Schwartz's defense, but there are at least a few things to consider. First, the Bills signed cornerback Corey Graham to a substantial enough contract to make you believe he will have a role on defense, and that role doesn't look like it will be as one of the starting, boundary corners. Second, the Bills will be doing a lot less blitzing and focusing more on their defensive line to set the tone for the secondary which takes away one of Robey's positive attributes. Finally, the team has been looking to get bigger at every single position on the roster, and despite his triumphs as a player in 2013, his size still could be considered as a liability in a new defense. Robey is a plus-player in the view of your author. However, the NFL is all about finding the right fits for your specific schemes. Whether or not Robey fits this defense is a bonafide question.

Remnants of Erin

Round Rock, TX (Current Weather Conditions)
Caption: Williamson County has dodged a couple of bullets lately. Erin passed by without dropping much rain on the county (though rainfall upstream has caused additional river rises) and it now appears that Dean, earlier thought to be headed for a direct hit on Texas, will be making landfall well into Mexico, perhaps 200 miles south of Brownsville. These very tropical clouds were seen on the 17th as Erin made her way north-northwestward. Here, tropical clouds are seen beyond corn fields in Round Rock.

This B list mostly television actress from a very hit cable show was being chased by paps in her car and managed to help her married B+ list mostly movie actor escape before the paps could get a photo of the two together.
January Jones/Ethan Hawke
She used the force.ReplyCancel
Yay me and Dena teamed up for the win!ReplyCancel
Get that D January Jones.ReplyCancel
So then I'm not the only one who hated his smug ass in Reality Bites?ReplyCancel
Hmmm, so is Ethan really the baby daddy?ReplyCancel
Ethan wasn't a name I heard before as a possiblity, maybe that's why she's kept her big yap shut.ReplyCancel
What does January have against single men?ReplyCancel
So if she escaped the paps, and there's no photos, how do we know it happened?ReplyCancel
She and Sienna need to start comparing notes.
At least January doesn't try to steal married men like Sienna, he's just a play toy for a while to JJ. Then she gives him back.
I get the impression that for Sienna, it's more about "winning" the guy over from someone else.ReplyCancel
@troyelle, there was never any confirmation from Uma or Ethan that he left for the nanny, or that they were involved during the marriage. There was also cheating on both sides in that relationship, not sure we should just be blaming just one party for that marriage breakdown.ReplyCancel
He didn't leave his family either, spends most summers with his children on his small island in Nova Scotia.ReplyCancel
I think most people regard her as very beautiful, stylish, dazzling smile (when she does smile).ReplyCancel
@Crila&Hanwi-beer flavored nipplesReplyCancel
She's exteremly thin (ana), very pale, & losing her hair, and she's a massive bitch.
If I remember correctly though back when she was younger & used to date Gorban, she was very pretty & would smile alot.ReplyCancel
I thought Ethan had an affair while shooting a movie in Quebec, with a French Canadian Actress and that is what pushed Uma over the edgeReplyCancel
I guess it is only fair since he helped her play hide the weiner earlier.ReplyCancel
She does have a pretty, if not generic, look. But her acting skills are so bad, I could never see her as "dazzling". Did anyone see "Unknown"? Wow, so bad.
Her "style" is based on her BFF Diane Kruger's fashions, she's said so a number of times.ReplyCancel
I think you're right @Tina Mallette. Here's an article about a year after the breakup, mentions the model affair. Zero mentions of nanny involvement. Uma Etan breakupReplyCancel
Ethan was so hot back in the day. Now he looks like that guy at the mall who hangs out in the food court all day pretending to bus tables.
I actually like JJ. People are so hard on those of us with RBF. :/ReplyCancel
@riven makes a great point about JJ hiding name of baby daddy, could be bcuz she's emabarassed – I'm thinking if that's tbe case her shame ISNT that he's married but just not good enough or ugly or both. (I'm thinking Ethan wasn't in her life at point if emasculate conception)
AnyHo! Can't stand women that are so stupid they think they've won a prize by spreading for a married man.ReplyCancel
LOL! Ethan has always been a man whore….ReplyCancel

An acoustic neuroma is a tumor that grows on the nerve leading from the brainstem to the ear. This nerve plays a role in hearing and in maintaining your balance. An acoustic neuroma grows slowly. It is a benign tumor, which means it is not cancerous. However, this condition can still cause serious problems.
The exact cause of acoustic neuroma is unknown.
Acoustic neuroma is most common between ages 30-60. Factors that may increase your chance of acoustic neuroma include:
The first symptoms of an acoustic neuroma include:
As the neuroma gradually grows larger, symptoms may include:
If headaches or mental confusion occur, the tumor may be life threatening. Call your doctor right away.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. Your ears will be examined. Tests of your nervous system will also be done.
Images may be taken of your head. This can be done with:
Tests may be done on your ears or eyes. These may include:
Treatment depends on your age, general health, the size and location of the tumor, and its rate of growth. Treatment may include:
If the tumor is very small, its growth may be monitored. Sometimes tumors do not grow any more. This is approach is common among people over age 70.
As the tumor grows and/or hearing becomes impaired, removal of the tumor may be needed. The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor. Complications of surgery may include permanent hearing loss and/or paralysis of facial muscles on the affected side.
Radiation therapy
is the use of radiation to kill cells and shrink tumors. Radiation is expected to prevent further growth of the tumor. Radiation may be used when tumors are small and surgery is not possible. This method may preserve hearing. It may be given over several treatments or as one large dose. You may be treated with a procedure called
stereotactic radiosurgery. This surgery uses a focused beam of radiation to destroy the tumor tissue.
There are no current guidelines for preventing acoustic neuroma.

Flying under the radar as a sophomore playing for a solid but unspectacular Boston College Team that struggled in ACC play,
Reggie Jackson
has been pretty impressive through the Eagles' first six games this season. Leading his team in scoring, assists, and steals in the early going, Jackson appears to have blossomed in his third season in Chestnut Hill under first year Head Coach Steve Donahue. Known for his athleticism in his high school days, Jackson's ability to pick and choose his spots and play with poise have been keys to his success this season and could plant him on the NBA radar if he continues to improve his playmaking ability and all-around game.
Much of Jackson's development since last season can be attributed to the way he utilizes his athleticism. Standing 6'3 with a giant wingspan, but an underdeveloped frame, Jackson has excellent size for a point guard, and while he does a lot of scoring at the college level, he has the makings of a potential floor general on the NBA level if he improves his ability to orchestrate an offense. He took a big step towards that end by learning how to play at different speeds, something that he didn't do effectively last season. That change has allowed him to cut down on his mistakes considerably, yielding his impressive 2.9 assists-to-turnover ratio. Slowing the game down and using his excellent quickness to exploit seams within the flow of the offense instead of using it to force action, Jackson has looked terrific in the open floor and in most half court situations early this season.
Though Jackson has been producing at a high-level as a passer and a scorer in the early going, he still has plenty of room to grow to become a legitimate point guard. The Colorado native shows great court vision, is not one to miss an open teammate to take his own shot, and has become extremely adept and scoring and passing in pick and roll situations, but spends a considerable amount of time off the ball where Steve Donahue can best exploit his scoring ability and give his team a dynamic athlete on the wing to complement Joe Trapani's shot-up shooting and off-ball scoring ability.
Though Jackson looks good handling pressure and has developed into a very solid ball-handler, he isn't relied upon exclusively to run Donahue's offense as a facilitator or bring the ball up the floor regularly. While the pieces of the puzzle certainly seem to be there for the talented junior, the development of his draft stock will be influenced heavily by his ability to continue to improve his playmaking skills.
Though Jackson's point guard skills will be important to his pro prospect, his improved jump shooting has been the biggest part of his impressive play this season. A reliable threat to pull-up off the dribble in the past, Jackson has improved his shot selection considerably this season, taking far fewer off-balance shots and sticking to his mechanics with a hand in his face. Though Jackson has a long release that he quickens at times under pressure, he has been much more efficient in catch and shoot situations. His 37% shooting from three-point range is a major improvement from the sub-30% mark he posted last season, even if he still needs to continue shoring up his footwork and consistency.
Around the basket, Jackson proves to be a capable finisher, but forces an occasional shot from a tough angle, needs to improve his ability to finish with his left hand, and could stand to get stronger to handle the contact he'll deal with at the next level. A somewhat flashy, but highly functional ball-handler who will surprise with his leaping ability when given space, Jackson has no trouble getting to the rim off the dribble at the NCAA level. This season, he's seeing considerably more touches running the pick and roll and receiving hand offs than he did last year, giving him a bit more room to operate in the lane.
Defensively, Jackson is able to use his wingspan and lateral quickness to force some turnovers, and he rebounds the ball well for a guard, but tends to find himself out of position and has a hard time getting over screens. His activity level has improved under Steve Donahue, and many of his current defensive weaknesses are correctable, but it will be important for him to improve his fundamentals to overcome his lack of elite lateral quickness to facilitate his transition to the next level. Getting stronger should also help. As his frame develops, Jackson has the size and length to potentially guard both backcourt positions at the pro level, which definitely helps his long-term outlook.
A player who has come a long way since his high school days,
Reggie Jackson
has clearly benefitted from Steve Donahue's presence at BC. While he's had strong performances against Texas A&M, Wisconsin, and Cal, it will be worth keeping an eye on how he plays in ACC competition. If Jackson continues to score and distribute the ball with efficiency, adds weight to his frame, and becomes a more consistent shooter, he will surely draw attention from NBA decision-makers down the road.

More Monasteries
Trip Start Aug 23, 1996
583Trip End Ongoing
We arrived, and there was nobody there to meet us. It was fucking scary. We jumped into a cab and went into the centre to find a hostel !!!!! Faaaaaaaaaaaaark me dead !!!!! We eventually found one. The dorm beds were a rip off but this was all we could find. We had some beds at least. Once in and settled, we walked the city. It was nice and compact so we were able to see all the sites. We walked around the churches and cathedrals in town. Even finding the church of Sa�nt Sofia which Sofia was named from. We also found a Russian church and numerous Russ�an monuments. There were frescoes all over the insides of these churches, but we were not allowed to take photos. I complied, quite sadly. We moved on and found one of the crappiest monuments I have ever seen. It was built to commemorate 1300 years of Sofie being a city, but the sooner they pull it down, the better the city will be !!!! There was also some markets with loads of baklava and cakes, so we dived in. I thought it was fair as I have lost loads of weight on this trip. Dinner was traditional Bulgarian, washed down with their finest red as usual
Next morning, we were up early as we had a day trip to the Rila mountains. We were going there as we wanted to see the Monastery there. It is very famous here in Bulgaria and it has frescoes all over it. We booked a day trip through another hostel as we did not want to stay there and we did not want to fuck around with the local transport system as the local buses are completely fucked up !!! The drive there was nice going through the mountains, but I really don't remember much as I slept most of it !!! We arrived and was given two hours to wander around. Plenty really as we spent around one hour at the ones in Romania. I had heard so much about it before we arrived, so I was kind of expecting something to jump out at me. It was bigger than the Romanian ones and the paintings were fresher as they were around 150 years old compared to 500 for the Romanian ones. We were not allowed to take photos of the inside, which I could live with, so I took loads of outside shots. But realistically, I did not think that it was as good as the Romanian monasteries. If I had a choice, I would go to Romania again before I would go to Rila. Oh well. I would like to tell you about the drive back, but I slept again !!!!!
This was to be our last night in Bulgaria, so we bought some take away wine and also drank a load as I did need an intake to my system of Bulgarian wine. I would not know when I would see my new love again

We hate to burst your bubble, but if you're in need of a replacement post for your 2011 BMC SLR01, this 2011 BMC SLR01 Seatpost is your only viable option. And, even if you're not currently in dire straights for a new post, a backup is rarely a bad idea. After all, during competition, things happen outside of your control, things like a broken seatpost.
However, instead of only focusing on the macabre, we'll remind you on why your seatpost is proprietary for a reason. The BMC SLR01 Seatpost features a proprietary quadrangle shape that provides tremendous lateral stiffness and enhanced aerodynamics. Additionally, its adjustment possibilities are bountiful, allowing you to dial in the perfect angle and reach to the bars.
The BMC SLR01 Seatpost FRPT is only designed for use with the 2011 BMC SLR01 frameset and is available in the color Black.
