Things Are Looking Up, If You Look Closely
Although the Giants' record doesn't prove it too much (31-25, 3rd in the NL West), there have no doubt been changes for the better in the last week or so for this team.
The call-up of Buster Posey not long ago headlines them all. He made his 2nd coming to the Majors by putting up intense numbers in his first 2 games an then some and has bolstered this offense that needed it so bad.
But it's more than just Posey, although he is the sexy name to pin it on. Aubrey Huff may be responsible for this sudden change in aerial scenery that the Giants needed so badly a few weeks ago. Arguably the hottest player on the Giants right now, Huff has made the gracious switch to left field making way for Posey at 1st base and giving Benjie Molina one last try at catcher before the Posey Era officially begins. Which may be sooner than we thought.
Another bright spot for the Giants in the last week or so has been the return of Freddy Sanchez. Sanchez is the hottest Giant average-wise batting .379 since his return, and has been a bright spot defensively as well. He sparks that line-up giving them something that the Giants were not seeing in the first month or so of the season, contact with the baseball.
We have managed to see bright spots offensively on this team while the Giants' best asset, its pitching, is struggling, to some extent. Lincecum is not himself lately for several reasons that could be pointed out, one of which is that the opposing batters are just plainly bringing their better game when facing him because he is a 2-time Cy Young winner. They have figured him out, or so it seems. The challenge here for Lincecum is figuring out how to get back to form and make batters miss again. That's what the great pitchers do, learn.
But despite the bright sides of the offense right now, there have been a few who have been stuck in slumps, which is an understatement, especially if your name is Pablo Sandoval. Yes, we are getting a little greedy saying that Sandoval batting .281 is in a slump, but this isn't like him. It's not something we have seen before out of him. The Giants have tried just about everything to try to pull him out of this slump, even sending him down to the 8th spot to prove a point, I guess. Didn't work. The only thing left is the one punishment that should have been used first and maybe we wouldn't be having this issue...sit him down. Let him take a look around and see the game, learn the game. He has 30 more at-bats than the closest Giant, give him a rest. Sure, fatigue is probably not his problem right now, but the bench may be swift kick in the ass he needs to snap out of it. Then the Giants have a line-up.
Another swift kick in the ass needs to be headed Molina's way. It appears as if Molina is on the way out, at least to the back-up role. The only thing keeping him starting right now is his feel for the pitchers, and if you have noticed, the Giants are trying to get Posey up to par with the pitchers as well, making it a easier transition for when Molina gets the boot.
But we have to look at the numerous bright spots right now. The Giants are winning...at least more than half of their games. That is with their best hitter and best pitcher not producing as they should. Posey got called up, Sanchez is on point, Uribe is doing his thing, Torres is a spark, and we might see Bumgarner sooner than we think.
Things are a'changin for the Giants, they've gotten younger and seem to be playing a better style of baseball than we have seen in months past. Seems like this should have been done a lot sooner. Blame that on the call-up of Posey or whatever you want, but if the Giants get the rest of the team up to par with the guys who are going out there every night and contributing, they might have something here.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
It's amazing what a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks can do for a ball club's morale. The Giants swept the D-Backs over the weekend behind 3 solid starts by Cain, Sanchez, and Wellemeyer.
It's also amazing what bringing up your #1 prospect from the minors can do for a ball club. The Giants brought up Buster Posey on Saturday in an attempt to add some much needed fire power to a line-up that lacks sexiness.
Coming into this weekend, the talk was about how in trouble the Giants were that they could not hit after enduring a road trip that just about sent Giants fans over the edge, where runs came at a minimum and good pitching took the road trip off.
But everyone and their mother knew what was coming next. It was the Giants' organization's only move, and that was to call up Posey in an attempt to hype the line-up as well as their fans.
He's captivating, I'll give him that. Not since Bonds have I taken time out of my day to watch his at-bat and his at-bat only. And his start to the 2010 season didn't let anyone down. Honestly, if he hadn't had success in these first two games, I'm not sure what the fans would have done. But no disappointment from Posey, he's not like others. Raw ability and good contact with the baseball is what the Giants' line-up has been needing their players to do all year, they just left it up to a 23 year old kid in AAA to show them how to do it.
Posey has seemed to psyche up the rest of this line-up as well. I haven't seen the Giants make so much contact with the baseball in days. It's not like them. In that D-Backs series they played like a real line-up. Granted, it was against the D-Backs, but as a Giants fan you have to take 'em where you can get 'em. And we got 'em this last weekend.
After a road trip that spelled disaster, it's amazing what a couple good starts and a stud prospect can do to make a fan base forget how awful you played against the Oakland A's...
No matter, the Giants are playing well right now and I will accept that. Posey is a Major League ball player who can spark a frachise in two starts, at 1st base mind you. And for the Giants, Posey is just what the doctor ordered.

Treading Water
Is it just me or is a sense of panic come over the city of San Francisco? May has not been kind to the San Francisco Giants. Last night's loss at the hands of the Washington Nationals put their record at 10-13 for the month and 1 game over .500 for the season. Not to mention 4th place in the NL West.
But last night's game may have sent Giants fans over the edge, because even though the Giants were slumping after a terrible road trip, there was still the thought of Tim Lincecum pitching and all being right with the world once again. Except this time, things couldn't get more worse. Lincecum struggled with 5 walks and 6 runs allowed, and Giants fans went home thinking disaster for this team that was so promising.
Even this early in the season, the Giants have experienced more ups-and-downs than any team in baseball. Sure, they need a bat, but that won't solve all their problems. Freddy Sanchez came back from injury, but he hasn't produced to the extent that everyone wants him to, let alone your #3 hitter.
It seems like all the hopes that the Giants had may be running out. There was the pick-ups of Aubrey Huff and Mark DeRosa, but DeRosa is hurt and Aubrey Huff has done his job, even moved to the outfield, but the most you're going to get out of him is what you're getting already, a .270 average with moderate RBI numbers.
Then Freddy Sanchez came back and hope sprang again. But if you thought a contact hitting 2nd baseman batting 3rd was going to change this team around, you were sorely mistaken. He may have even hurt the Giants more because now they must find a place to put him while cutting time from someone else.
Then there was Lincecum, the go-to guy, the guy you can count on when things just aren't going right. The Freak. But not last night. For the 2nd straight start, Lincecum did not have a good outing, and he received the loss last night. Is he just in a bit of a 2-time Cy Young slump? Or have teams slowly began to figure him out? We'll find out in his next several starts.
So Giants fans are holding on to the 2 hopes they got left, Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner.
Bumgarner may not be needed right now, plus there may be a few AAA pitchers that are in line ahead of him. But let's talk Buster.
Posey is the jolt they need right now, maybe to save their fan-base at the moment. The team is struggling, they need changes. Posey isn't tearing up AAA, but it seems like he is ready enough for the big leagues, and now is the time because they couldn't need him more.
The Giants will find a place for him, they must. But Posey is the kick in the pants the Giants need right now, for morale purposes.
The Giants need a bat and Posey is probably the 2nd or 3rd best bat the Giants have, then why is he stuck in AAA?
You are going to see several more ups-and-downs coming from this team during the rest of this season, so get used to it and just go with it. Sure, they're going to tug at your heart strings but hopefully it will all pay-off in the end. But for now, changes need to be made, and quick.

That's It And That's All
The San Jose Sharks' season is over after a disappointing series against the Chicago Blackhawks resulting in the Sharks being swept 4-0.
A long season for the Sharks came down to this dream series featuring the Western Conference's top 2 teams. After this series, we found out who truly was the #1 team.
The Sharks could not have had more momentum coming into this series after previously defeating the Red Wings in 5 games. Yet, the Blackhawks seemed to be the wrong team for the Sharks. This series simply came down to match-ups, and the Blackhawks were a horrible match-up for the Sharks. It's the only way to describe it.
The Blackhawks were too quick, too prepared and too good for the Sharks. It felt that way from the drop of the puck in Game 1.
What impressed me about the Blackhawks was several things, but one stands out. Each game of this series, the Sharks came out with intensity, wanting to get on the Blackhawks quick. Every game, the Blackhawks answered and made the adjustments needed to turn the pace of play around, as well as momentum, in their favor.
Even in the games where the Sharks had chances to win, like Games 1, 3, and 4, the tempo for the game was still controlled by the Blackhawks, it sure seemed that way, and you were just waiting for Chicago to score, and they did.
Antti Niemi, what can you say, hot goaltender, wrong time for the Sharks. The Sharks could simply not figure him out, the 40+ shots on net in Game 1 shows that, as do clutch save after clutch save at the end of every game.
All around, the Sharks were outplayed and it is extremely disappointing to see as talented a team as the Sharks look so befuddled as to how they were going to solve the Blackhawks. No answer.
Where do the Sharks go from here? Patrick Marleau has been rumored to leave the Sharks for the last couple seasons, but that was because he was who everyone put the blame on for losing in the playoffs the past several seasons. Now, he is the only bright spot, and there are several other players who you can blamed for this one. Yet, he is a free agent. The Sharks would be wise to sign him, but maybe he rather not.
Evgeni Nabokov has played his last game as a Shark, that's my opinion. The free agent will depart San Jose in disappointing fashion, as he was never able to get the Sharks over that hump to greatness or the Stanley Cup Finals. Some would say it was because of him. Duh.
Lucky for the Sharks, the free agent goalie class of 2010 is impressive. With guys like Ray Emery, former Shark Vesa Toskala, and Marty Turco headlining, as well as several other starting goalies for other teams, the Sharks should have no problem replacing Nabokov. There's not much to replace.
In my opinion, the Sharks should sign Marleau and let Nabby walk. This is too good of a team to split up, and for the Sharks to go out and let Marleau leave along with others would set this franchise back even farther than a series sweep at the hands of the Blackhawks would.
With possible free agent pick-ups and the best top-line in all of hockey hopefully staying together, expect the Sharks to be back contending again next season, but the Stanley Cup Finals still looming.

All Uphill From Here
The Sharks are in trouble, plain and simple. They were defeated for the 2nd straight game on their home ice last night by the Chicago Blackhawks, who have a commanding 2-0 lead in this best-of-7 series heading to Chicago.
The Sharks seemed to have no chance in this one. They were outplayed by the young and quick Blackhawks, who behind their red-hot goalie Antti Niemi looked like a team that could take the Cup.
From a Sharks angle, something has to change. After a game in which the Sharks were able to get the puck to the net at will, the complete opposite happened on Tuesday night as the Sharks couldn't get anything started, let alone anything to the net.
Evgeni Nabokov wasn't much help either. After letting a goal up in the 1st period, he let his guard down for a whole 3 minutes in the 2nd period, and the Blackhawks took full advantage netting 2 goals in that time span.
Nabokov would finish with 18 saves on 22 chances, definitely his worst effort that we have seen in awhile.
It's all uphill from here. The Sharks are down 2-0 headed on the road, a position nobody wants to be in. The good thing is that they will have an extra day off, with their next game being on Friday. It will give them an extra day to find out what in the world they can do to stop this Blackhawks team from rolling completely over them.
In Chicago, Niemi will continue standing on his head. But if the Sharks' goal coming into Game 2 was to put bodies in front of the net to get in the way of Niemi's vision, that didn't happen, at least from what I saw. Something needs to change because the Hawks look quicker, more skilled, and more prepared for this series than the Sharks do.
Do the Sharks have it in them to make a comeback in this series? We'll find that out on Friday, won't we? It won't be enough just to come out of the gates firing like the Sharks have done in these first 2 games. They will need to carry it throughout the entire game if they are going to defeat a Blackhawks team that seems ready for a Stanley Cup birth.
The only upside for the Sharks, the Blackhawks are 3-3 at home in these playoffs, which isn't saying much because they are 7-0 on the road, but we'll take it. The Sharks will take it. But they will take whatever they can right now in a series that is in their hands to keep alive.

Niemi Hot As the Sharks Fall in Game 1
If we found out one thing in Game 1, it was that this is going to be as exciting and gut-renching a series as we have seen in a long time. Another, a hot goalie is going to beat one that has been solid the whole playoffs 9 out of 10 times. It's just the way it is. Unfair if you're a Sharks fan, at least in this Game 1, but these NHL Playoffs have been unfair to many teams this year.
The final four teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are lopsided for each conference. In the West, you have the top 2 seeded teams, while in the East, you have the lowest-seeded teams. A little unorthodox but you cannot deny that these are the best 4 teams going. And in a series that boasts the top 2 teams for the West, we expected nothing different than a thrilling game to the final buzzer, and we got that in Game 1.
Disappointing is a good word to describe this game from a Sharks angle. 5 power plays and one result. That is 5 PP's more than Chicago had, which you can also take as a plus because that would mean the Sharks did not commit a penalty.
Still, the hotter goalie came out on top. If there was one lesson to be learned from this Game 1, play the full 60 minutes because if you are out of position for a second, as the Sharks found out on Dustin Byfuglien's game-winning goal, it will hurt you.
Respect Blackhawks' goalie Antti Niemi, though. The Sharks have run into another hot goalie, and that's all you can say. He out-dueled Evgeni Nabokov who was having himself a very nice game as well. But at the end of the game, the 1st star went to Niemi and the 2nd star went to Nabokov.
The Blackhawks are no joke, and neither are the Sharks, but Game 1 showed who was more prepared for this series, and it wasn't the team who had 5 PP's and didn't convert on any of them. Rusty.
2 things to take from this game for the Sharks, though. They managed to draw the 5 penalties while committing 0. Also, Nabokov is playing very well between the pipes, and 38 saves shows that. The only problem, Niemi had 44 saves. That remains the only difference in Game 1.

Sharks/Blackhawks Series Preview
It's on. This is the way it was supposed to be, right? The two top teams in the Western Conference will face off in a 7-game series to decide who will go to the Stanley Cup Finals and be the overwhelming favorite.
That is true. No matter who comes out of the Eastern Conference, whether it's the Bruins/Flyers or Canadians, the team that wins the Sharks/Blackhawks series will be without a doubt the clear favorite to win the Cup.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Sharks are the best team going, the only thing knocking this team is the fact they have been at a stand still since they defeated the Red wings in 5 games in what feels to be a month ago. They want to get out on the ice while they're hot.
Honestly, the Blackhawks are the favorite in this series. They have recent momentum since beating the Canucks, plus they went 3-1 against the Sharks during the regular season.
But the Sharks have several things going their way that have not been talked about. How about the fact that Blackhawks' goalie Antti Niemi has never played against the Sharks? Or how about the Sharks are playing a much better form of hockey than they were in the regular season?
The tipping point in this series may be that one point that separated the Sharks as the #1 seed in the West and the Blackhawks as the #2 seed. The Sharks have home-ice advantage, and we all saw what that team and those fans can do once in their home arena. The "Nabby" chants start going, the Jaws music start playing. Everything is better at The Sharks Tank. Unless you're the opposing team, then that stuff just gets annoying.
Bottom line is this is going to be a series for the ages. Two teams who have similar styles of play, and just as much equal talent on the ice. The last time we saw this sort of match-up was, well, last series when the Sharks played the Red Wings.
One thing bothers me, though. I cannot help but think back to the game on November 25th when the Sharks and Blackhawks met up. The final score was 7-2 in favor of the Blackhawks in a game where the Blackhawks made the superior Sharks look ridiculous. They outhustled and outperformed the Sharks. Will there be a difference in how the Sharks prepare for this team in this series? There better be, they would have had 8 days between series to do so.
If the Sharks are to knock off the Blackhawks, they will need more contribution from their 1st line than ever. We saw this in the last couple of games in the Red Wings series. The Red Wings' primary focus was on Joe Pavelski since he was tearing them up in the previous games. In response, the Sharks' 1st line showed up and was the reason why the series didnt go to a Game 6 or 7.
Fasten your seatbelts for this one, folks. This is a series made for it to go the distance, and I don't doubt we will see anything but that.
My prediction: Home-ice will play a huge role in this series and the Sharks will be fortunate that they got that last point to get the #1 seed in the West and home-ice advantage in the playoffs. Sharks in 7.

"Stick It, A-Rod"
Here you go A's fans. Despite the injuries that have plagued this team over the last several weeks after a strong start to the season, the A's still managed to hit the headlines yesterday in the form of A's pitcher Dallas Braden's perfect game.
There are several stories wrapped up in this one, which is why it is so intriguing. First, he threw the gem against arguably the best team going right now, the Tampa Bay Rays. Second, he threw it on Mother's Day in honor of his mother who had died when he was in high school. How about the fact that he was drafted in the 24th round, or that he has never pitched longer than the 7th inning in any big league start? How about that he is a native of nearby Stockton? How about that his grandmother told A-Rod to "stick it."
All these stories pail in comparison to the one that the national media has seemed to hook onto. The Braden/A-Rod Saga.
The dispute between the two was still hot going into Braden's start yesterday. His perfecto just fueled the fire a little more. Now it's out of control.
Was Braden right in calling out A-Rod? Eh, it's an unwritten rule that every ballplayer knows, and don't let them tell you differently, as Alex Rodriguez did. A-Rod knew exactly what he was doing. Don't forget, this is the same player who yelled at the 3rd baseman while trying to catch a pop-up, ans also the same guy who tried to swat the ball out of the 1st baseman's glove so he wouldn't be called out, thinking no one could see him. Ya know, the things kids who know him as the best player in the game should look up to.
The only problem I have with the whole Braden/A-Rod feud is who is Dallas Braden? Sure, the Bay Area knows him and now the nation is familiar with him. But before this, he was just some no name who wanted seemed to want some recognition for calling out A-Rod. Finally somebody did it, but it probably shouldn't have been Braden, or at least not made so public by Braden. It just made him out to look cocky by going after one of the best players on the planet, while Braden boasts 17 (make that 18) wins in his career.
Now, he is recognized, but for a much better reason, which is why this A-Rod feud carries so much punch now. And it will continue to carry punch until someone gets knocked out, or at least until the two players meet again. In which Braden will go head hunting for A-Rod's dome.
I honestly doubt the two will square off in the distant future. A-Rod will probably come down with the flu that day or something along those lines. He just seems like the kind of guy who would do that. And I wouldn't blame him. Hell, if a guy heaving 90 MPH wanted to decapitate me for breaking an unwritten rule that I clearly had knowledge of, I wouldn't want to be in that batter's box either.
But Braden will have to wait until the July 5th series in New York for that to happen, given it is his turn in the rotation. Maybe Braden will still be fuming on this matter, or maybe he won't, but he doesn't seem like a guy who lets things go easily.
All we know is this story suddenly has legs. Before the perfecto, Braden was just some looney trying to make a name, now he is the guy with the 19th perfect game in MLB history trying to right a wrong. It's crazy how a perfect game can instantly do that to someone.

Summer is right around the corner, and though it may still be too cold to pull off a bonafide summer look without freezing at night, it doesn't mean we can't plan ahead. This editorial is the embodiment of California summer style, from cropped t-shirts and t-shirt dresses stamped with vintage graphics to high-rise denim short shorts with frayed edges. The occasional leather jacket keeps things edgy, and sums up the inspiration you need for a killer summer look. Our personal favorite? A pair of denim overalls over a bathing suit top. Super cute. Now all we need is for summer to get here!

Here's a read on how weak gold is right now: The dollar is down 1.8% versus the euro for December as of midweek. And yet the metal has fallen even harder, shedding 2.6%.
This morning, gold is inching forward by 0.1% to $1,668.20, but view that in the context of the U.S. dollar's 0.3% slide versus the euro. A weak dollar should be propelling the metal higher.
Gold's price seems a long way from $1,700, which it held as recently as a few weeks back. Yesterday's settlement price of $1,666.50 was the lowest since Aug. 30. The metal is down 7.1% from the 52-week high of $1,794.10, reached on Oct. 4.
Even exchange-traded fund flows are showing signs of wear and tear. The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) saw outflows of $49 million over the last week, XTF data show. The iShares Gold Trust (IAU) lost $25 million. It's a contrast to the gusher of net asset flows the pair have enjoyed this year –$8.2 billion in total.

After having defeated Wayne in a play-in game, the Green River Pirates traveled to Richfield and participated in the 1-A Utah State basketball tournament. Green River defeated Wayne 52-46 behind Kayden Mecham's 17 points. With the loss, Wayne was through for the season.
Unfortunately, Green River's first opponent would be the Duchesne Tigers, the first place team out of their region and the team that would end up finishing second in the tournament. Duchesne defeated Green River 53-42 after the Pirates went cold in the third quarter and only scored two points. Escalante defeated Duchesne for the state title 49-41.
Green River then dropped into the consolation bracket and defeated Tintic 62-58 on Thursday as the Pirates came from behind in the fourth quarter to win the game. Tintic had led 51-45 when the fourth quarter began.
On Friday, Milford stopped the Pirates 64-48 and sent Green River home. Green River was in the game as the fourth quarter began but the Pirates were outscored 31-19 in that final period to let the game slip away from them.
Against Wayne, besides Mecham's 17 points, Jason and Tyson Johnson also finished the game in double figures. Jason scored 12 points and Tyson scored 11 points. Brennan Bigelow scored six points including a made 3-pointer, Holden Marshall scored four points and Justin Johnson scored two points. Mecham also made a 3-pointer.
Against Duchesne, Bigelow was the leading scorer with 16 points including a pair of 3's. Tyson scored 14 points to finish in double figures again, Jason and Mecham each scored six points and Justin made a 3-pointer for his only points.
Jason Johnson led the way for Green River on Thursday against Tintic as he scored 23 points. Mecham finished with 13 points to also score in double figures. Bigelow scored nine points, Tyson scored eight points, Marshall scored sixpoints and Justin made another 3-pointer to end with three points. Brennan, Holden and Kayden also each hit a 3-pointer in the game.
Tyson Johnson became the fourth different leading scorer in the state games when he led the team against Milford with 16 points. Jason was right behind with 13 points, Mecham scored nine points, Bigelow scored seven points, Justin scored two points and Caleb White scored one point in the game.
Brennan Bigelow and Tyson Johnson were seniors on this season's team while Mecham was a junior. Justin was a freshman.

Was watching a little bit of the Men on NBC this afternoon. I'm so glad they are in the US network, not the Canadian's, because I don't think I can stand both of them for so many hours. Boy, are they annoying
Wilson and Browning all the way
Was watching a little bit of the Men on NBC this afternoon. I'm so glad they are in the US network, not the Canadian's, because I don't think I can stand both of them for so many hours. Boy, are they annoying
Wilson and Browning all the way
Scott is the greatest! He is so-o-o-o much in the corner of every skater who takes the ice, like he is the coach, mentor ans father of each one, and he so wants them to do well. Each jump is the greatest thing he has ever seen!
I don't think Scott has ever lost teh joy of skating, and he remembers just how exciting that time in his life was. Why beat down and discourage any skater?
then you have Sandra who has her favorites and the rest shouldn't even bother showing up because they suck and should never put on skates... NBC has two extremes. of the two I will always prefer Scott.
Yes, he shouts, but I don't blame him so much as the audio crew. They've worked with him for four years now, they can lower his volume... but I don't find it annoying
what I do find annoying is Sandra still whining about the judging system picking on every little thing. Does she not remember her nitpicky assessment of B/S's LP in 2002... anything to show just how much her fellow Canucks were robbed (they were robbed, but seriously Sandra playing this game of "I'd never stoop as low as this judging system" is just UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH)
I've never liked Sandra's commentary. She's so negative... as are the NBC color commentors (who I think are only there because of the paycheck)
Yeah, I don't like Bezic. Fine with Scott. He was so happy for Chen Lu in 1998. I liked that.
Well, yesterday and today I wasn't screaming "shut up, Scott" as much as I was during previous events...maybe because I've finally realized it's useless as he'll never be a good commentator:sheesh: I've written to NBC (Ebersole) begging them to replace SH at the Olympics (that was after the first GP event when he just about had me screaming myself hoarse). All that screeching, groaning, whooping, growling is so unprofessional and distracting. I wish they'd replace him with Paul Wylie whose delivery is knowledgeable, lowkey, pleasant and doesn't interfere with the performance of the skater(s).
none of the skaters are supposed to be the "professional" they're there to give their "expert opinion/analysis"
watch some of the other sports coverage, most of the experts DO get excited and whoop and holler...
I've always been a fan of Scott, that hasn't or won't change no matter what, even though I get ticked off with him every once in a while, lol.
It's enough that we have lost Mr. Button commentating, I don't want to lose Scott too. I honestly like to hear him more than Brian Boitano, et al. Besides, Scott has been at it for decades!
That said, I think he & Sandra Bezic together will always be remembered for the 2002 Olympics in a bad way, leastways for me, sorry to say. It's kind of like a bad shadow or cloud. Scott on his own I don't mind, or paired with Verne Lundquist or Tom Hammond, et al. But he & Sandra together kinda bring back bad memories.
Actually, I like Sandra Besic just fine, too. She makes interesting comments on choreography, especially for pairs, that other commentators don't always bother with.
OT, but did anyone watch the Rodeo bull-riding contest that led into Universal Sports' coverage. The commentators really did a good job of explaning what was going on, like one rider fell off because he shifted hid right heel back anticipatibng the that bull would turn to the left, but the bull turned th the right instead (we saw this on slo-motion replay.) The next rider got up close to the bulls right shoulder because he knew that that particular bull could be made to buck up and down instead of in a circle if you were in that position, etc. Very ineteresting.

at least Scott came back with a cool head later that night and the rest of the competition and apologised for his outbursts, that he was caught in the moment and he took it to far, and that he felt that their commentary, in part, was the reason Elena and Anton were getting a lot of negative things spout out on and about them.
of course, no one's commentary was worse than Rosie O'Donnel's on the pairs competition that year saying she'd wished that Elena's partner's blade had dug in farther so that Elena'd not even been in SLC... I was so disgusted by that comment (as were Sale and Pelletier - they refused to come on her show, and that also ticked her off.)
in comparison, Scott and Sandy come off pretty well in my book... and it's been 8 years, its time to let go.
I really don't have anything against Sandra Bezic either. In fact some of my favorite figure skating quotes are from her. It's just for me personally having Sandra & Scott *together* commentating brings back bad memories. They kinda egg each other on, no objectivity, leastways that's the way I see it.
Also, Sandra's voice gets on my nerves, there's a timbre in there that isn't pleasing to my ear. Lol, if that makes sense. Anyhow, I did love hearing her scream "YESSSSSSSSSSS" when Sarah Hughes landed her second 3/3 at the 2002 Olympics!!!!!!!!!!
I love watching Rodeo events on TV... so much fun...
oh and try watching the Iditarod finish at 2 or 3 in the morning where the commentator (normally an ex musher with no training) is SCREAMING in the mic (he normally makes Scott sound very quiet)... not good for someone sleep deprived LOL
I love Scott- The commentator I found annoying is Tonia Kwiatkowski on icenetwork! I know she's an intelligent woman, but god awful voice and accent grrrrrrr
I agree with Tonichelle on Bezic. Despite her elegant sounding/ looking voice/presense, her comments on COP was not all that convincing. "The magic (=stnading o) doesen reflect on COP"? Should it? Does it not? How?
Nevertheless it was so nice to see skating treated like it was a major sport, live, Scott & Sandra and on a major channel (although I saw it on TVU hehe). Watching skating like a geek on icenetwork/ youtube/ russian web TV/ etc. is cool, but there's something about a telecast like this that makes the whole event whole lot more exciting!
Tonia just needs to learn how not to over talk. Give a brief reason why the skater missed the element... then, when it's time for the replay if you feel the need to drone on about whatever it was, do it... she normally misses three elements for every explanation she gives.
She's new, she'll learn.
who's the canadian commentator who only speaks good of canadian skaters and uses the tacky phrase "second to none" all the time?
on US TV? the only canadian commentators we've had in the last decade or so, that I know of, are Tracy Wilson, Sandra Besic, and Kurt Browning
eta - oh and Sale, and Pelletier but they are just there because they're S/P not because they actually get to say much

Terry William Sandstrom (Biguns) 62
Loving father, grandfather, and friend, died peacefully Saturday June 27, 2009 following a couraeous battle with cancer.
Terry was born in Bingham Canyon, Utah Sept. 29, 1946, the fifth child of Jessie Wilford Sandstrom and Lillis Oberg Sandstrom. Terry graduated from Bingham High School May 1964. He spent two years in the service of his country during the Vietnam War, one year of which was spent in the Panama Canal Zone.
On his return, Terry married Jeanette Withers. They began their life together in Riverton and later moved to Cleveland, where Terry built his family a home so he and Jeanette could raise four beautiful children; Brett (Cindy) Sandstrom of Lehi; Stacey (Jim) Gordon of Huntington; Travis (Christal) Sandstrom of Syracuse; and Tiffany (Chris) Anderson of New Harmony.
Terry worked as a truck driver for a short time then tried his hand at coal mining. After sustaining a back injury that left him in a great deal of pain for years to come he and Jeanette opened a small restaurant in Huntington. Terry was truly at home behind the grill and found great joy in cooking and visiting with "the Crew" at the Lunch Box.
Terry enjoyed the outdoors and could often be found wandering in search of the perfect branch or piece of wood that he could turn in to one of his masterpieces. Terry will always be remembered for his ability to, as he put it, "Find the heart of the wood." His many walking sticks, willow chairs, and other works of art are cherished by all those whom he felt had earned them.
In later years he and Jeanette were divorced and Terry moved to Beaver Dam, Ariz. He made many friends there and was loved by all who knew him. Terry truly saw the world in ways most could not, he saw beauty where others did not. He took time to not only watch, but marvel at the sunset.
Terry is survived by his children, 17 grandchildren, brothers Ted and Sid Sandstrom, sister, Gwen Crump, and countless friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and elder brother Jack.
Graveside services will be held on July 2, 2009 at 10 a.m. at the Huntington City Cemetery under the direction of Mitchells Funeral Home.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to those who have shown acts of kindness through these difficult times, and especially to Biguns' "Family" in Beaver Dam.

Valentina Marabini, British Museum
The conservation studio at Shanghai Museum is often asked to conserve paintings for other Museums, which has given me the opportunity to observe the staff here working on a number of different, challenging objects.
I was kindly invited to join the conservators on a trip to the Xiamen Museum to return 15 conserved paintings and collect 10 new paintings in need of conservation. I was fortunate to be able to see the Xiamen Museum paintings before conservation – in quite poor condition and to follow the conservation assessments.
An international conference on paper conservation across East Asia that I went to in December gave me an opportunity to learn more about the spread of expertise across the region in greater detail.
The conference took place in Gansu province, Lanzhou. Its theme was the research and conservation of paper from the Silk Road. The first gathering of this conference took place in Beijing in 2006, and was followed by a second and third event in Japan and Korea respectively.
This symposium was held by Unesco, the Chinese Academy of Cultural heritage, Gansu Provincial Museum and Gansu Archaeology research Institute, and united conservators from the five Asian countries of China, Japan, North and South Korea and Mongolia to share and discuss the conservation of paper relics.
On this occasion particular focus was put on the different techniques used in traditional paper-making in each country, and modern solutions for preserving the region's paper heritage were presented by the various expert guests. A special exhibition also gave me a chance to see unearthed paper relics from the Silk Road itself.
Back in hectic Shanghai, the environment in which I work is unique with an intense daily rhythm of tasks. The experience of learning from the wonderful professionals in this field really is a privilege.

Final Report – Game #1 from BIMS 1300
by gwilson on Dec.27, 2010, under Uncategorized
The first of the BIMS 1300 Intro to Scientific Research games from the fall semester was entitled "The College Experience" (though its name on the game board said "College Life" – there wasn't enough space to put their TRUE name!). Team members were Devin Munoz, Zach Orosco, Patrick Cheney, Dane Bennett, and Benjamin Prieto.
The College Experience is a multiplayer game that takes players through four years of college and centers on the social aspects of college and how good (and bad) decisions can impact a student's performance toward graduation and self-esteem. The rather simple game board features a topographical map that symbolizes the journey through four years of college and the hazards along the way. Making good decisions builds self-esteem and making poor choices results in loss of self-esteem cards.
All students in the class played the three games and rated them on their playability, their conformance to the expected specifications, and their inclusion of elements from the course – use of inductive and deductive logic, cause and effect, repetitive use of the question-test-analysis cycle, and so forth. Students from the other groups praised this game for its focus on the social aspects of college and how self-esteem can be affected by, and can in turn influence, decisions made and college performance. Congratulations to this group for their excellent final project.

Anniversary of lost dreamsPosted Wednesday, July 15, 2009, at 11:12 AM
Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11, the spacecraft that delivered the first two human beings to the moon.
On July 20, Neil Armstrong put the first footprints in lunar soil, followed a few minutes later by Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins orbited above them. Over the next three years, 10 more men, all Americans, walked on the moon.
But when Armstrong made his famous quote as he stepped off the lunar lander: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," he was less than prophetic.
After the Apollo 17 landing in December 1972, we quit. No one has ever gone back to the moon. In large part, that was a lack of vision by Congress, which somehow felt that the entire purpose of Apollo had been to beat the Russians to the moon. In fact, without the impetus created by the "space race" with the old Soviet Union, we might not have a manned presence in space even today. Right now, the Chinese may beat us to the moon in the 21st century.
After the Apollo program ended we turned our attention to just getting men (and women) into low earth orbit. In the last 37 years no one has sent an astronaut further than 250 miles from the surface of our planet. If Armstrong's step was a leap forward for mankind, we've taken a couple of steps back since then.
In fact, when the shuttle's missions end early next year, the United States will no longer be a spacefaring nation. We'll have to hitch rides with the Russians just to get Americans to the International Space Station.
A new program, Orion (essentially the old Apollo "on steroids") is being developed, part of the Constellation Project, to return us to the moon, some time in the next decade. More than two generations will have passed since anyone saw someone walk on the moon. In fact, today, about one in seven people in the United States don't believe it happened in the first place. It's a sad commentary on the decline of the manned space program.
We need to renew our emphasis to manned deep space flight. The exploration of our solar system, and eventually the ability of humans to move off the planet and expand our reach and access to resources, is vital to the future of our own planet.
On this 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, let us renew our commitment to the future, and urge Congress to make adequate funding available so the hiatus in our nation's spacefaring capabilities is as short as possible.
-- Kelly Everitt

Georgia Pattern Mosser Glassware

Georgia Pattern Mosser Glassware
U.S.-Made Mosser Glass is Both Beautiful and Durable
After following his father into the glass business as a teenager and learning the business from the bottom up, Thomas Mosser's dream of opening his own glass company in the Midwest was finally realized decades later when he opened Mosser Glass in 1971. Mosser's passion for working with glass and his commitment to quality is reflected in both the beauty and rich details that embody this masterfully crafted Georgia-pattern glassware. Each thick, durable piece is made using original molds and features a classic "thumbprint" design for easy handling. We're offering this Mosser glassware in three deeply vibrant colors—cobalt blue, emerald green, and ruby red. Red glass is a bit trickier to make than the blue or green as is contains a rare element, selenium, which accounts for its rich ruby color and slightly higher price.
- Original Georgia pattern with classic "thumbprint" design
- Made in the USA by Mosser Glass
- Mosser glass in three rich colors: cobalt blue, emerald green, and ruby red
- Available in 9 oz. and 12 oz. tumblers, 14 oz. goblets, and 54 oz. pitcher
Georgia Pattern Mosser Glassware
Dishwasher safe.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is currently seeking highly talented postdoctoral fellows with strong laboratory and/or analytical skills to join the new Sanger-EBI Single Cell Genomics Centre.
Single cell genomics - DNA-seq, epigenome-seq and RNA-seq - is the next frontier in molecular biology, providing a whole-genome view of genetic variability at the single cell level. These new approaches present new computational and experimental challenges and opportunities.
The ability to accurately measure DNA-, methylDNA- and RNA-sequence from single cells will revolutionise our understanding of somatic genomic variation, cell type differences, developmental processes, the degree of stochasticity of transcript levels amongst cells of the same type, DNA-mutation rates and mechanisms, genetic mosaicism and disease/phenotype aetiology.
In order to exploit the new developing technologies, five faculty members across the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, both on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK, have launched a joint programme in single cell genomics.
The positions will be allocated to 4 areas:
> DNA-seq
> epigenome-seq
> RNA-seq
> Computational approaches
All four positions offer scope for the development of new methods as well as application of these methods to various biological questions in stem cells, cancer and immunity.
Essential Skills
• A PhD in Genomics, Genetics, (Computational) Biology (or similar), and a passion for problem solving
• An understanding, experience and published outcomes from analysing and interpreting large datasets using at least one statistical package (e.g. R/SPLUS, SAS) and experience in programming (e.g. Perl, Python, C++, Java).
• Excellent written and spoken English are essential and the ability to effectively communicate with collaborators and occasionally present oral communication to large groups.
• Proven independent working style, technical problem solving, data analysis and generation of novel ideas.
Ideal Skills
• Extensive programming experience and computational analysis of next generation sequence data.
• Good experience with cell culture, (single-cell) DNA- and RNA-seq protocols
• Good mix of wet-lab and bioinformatics/computational skills.
• Training in statistical methods appropriate for biological research and experience in genomics approaches and in method development would be advantageous.
Other information
As a world leader in human genomics, genome informatics, and whole genome DNA sequencing, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) is now focusing large-scale genotyping, DNA sequencing, and mathematical analysis on illuminating the biology of different cell types.
Postdoctoral Fellows are typically in their first or second postdoctoral position as part of a period of early career research training. The post is a two year fixed-term contract.
Successful applicant(s) who have submitted their PhD thesis and are awaiting their PhD award to be confirmed will be placed on a transitional pay point, £ 27,000 per annum. On confirmation applicants will be moved on to the pay scale above.
Closing date for applications is 30th April 2013
The Institute has excellent purpose built facilities on the Genome Campus, Hinxton on the outskirts of Cambridge. We offer a comprehensive range of benefits including a final salary pension scheme and excellent on-site facilities. Further details can be found on our website https://jobs.sanger.ac.uk,

Andrew Drone was the only Gallatin County player to score in double figures in Friday night's regional title game, but at 6-foot-11 and the ability to score at will, there isn't much more that you need.
Drone's 19 first half points helped the Hawks take a 35-22 lead at intermission his 15 second half points, along with a lock down defensive approach allowed Gallatin County to claim the 1A Regional championship with a 66-42 win over Norris City-Omaha-Enfield.
The regional win was the third straight for Gallatin County and head coach Robert Patton, who now move on to the Hardin County Sectional.. The Hawks will play Steeleville Wednesday night.
Gallatin County jumped out to a 13-7 first quarter lead and took a seven-point lead into the locker room.
However, in the second half, the Hawks put the hammer down on NOCE in the second half, holding the Cardinals to just 12 total points in the final 16 minutes.
Patrick Lowe added eight points for Gallatin County, while Josh Belford chipped in with seven. Dane Hish and Anthony Storto each had six and Wes McGuire tacked on three points.
Gallatin County is now 26-3 on the season, while NCOE closes out the season at 17-11.

ESM425 - Senior Mathematics: Curriculum Study
Unit details
|Enrolment modes:
|Credit point(s):
|EFTSL value:
|Unit chair:
|G Williams (B)
|Campus contact:
|G Williams (B, X), C Campbell (G)
Successful completion of ESM424 including the minimum mathematics discipline studies requirements for entry to ESM424.
|Contact hours:
3 hours per week or off campus equivalent.
Note:Wherever possible students should enrol in the on-campus version of this unit.
This unit focuses on mathematics units within the Victorian Certificate of Education (Foundation Mathematics, General Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Mathematical Methods 1/2 3/4, Specialist Mathematics), and mathematics associated with the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). As the National Mathematics Curriculum is developed, it will also focus on this. The unit simultaneously examines mathematical content and teaching approaches that optimise student learning of that content. Attention is paid to developing teacher ability to sequence mathematical topics to increase student opportunities to think autonomously; to strengthen the connections they make between areas of mathematical content, and the contexts to which this mathematics applies. Assessment procedures are examined for the purpose of identifying how to increase student learning by progressive monitoring, and how to best assist students to meet assessment requirements. Design of assessment tasks is considered in the light of ways to monitor ongoing learning and how to assess at Units 1 and 2 in ways that prepare students for assessment in Units 3 and 4.
Task 1 40% - Through collaborative and individual activity informed by research literature, develop, and show how to implement and assess, a sequence of areas of the mathematics curriculum to encourage autonomous mathematical thinking and deep learning. Demonstrate the ability to identify student learning trajectories and teacher actions that could enrich them.
Task 2 60% - Collaborative and individual analyses of senior secondary examination questions and examiners' reports to identify an area where students experience conceptual difficulty. Collaborative development of a sequence of activities to assist in overcoming this difficulty. Individual development of an evidence based article for teachers to raise questions about current transmission approaches at senior secondary level, and illustrate an alternative approach to help overcome the conceptual difficulty identified.

Posted on 01/06/2013 12:21:21 AM PST by lowbridge
On December 29, the owner of American Spirit Arms; Joe Sirochman relayed this chilling news via Facebook:
All, My name is Joe Sirochman owner of American Spirit Arms and I wanted to share my recent experience with Bank of America .(which we have been doing business with for over 10 years) . Everyone is familiar with the latest increase in guns sales , dealers selling out of inventory , Manufacturers back logged for months , large revenue all generated in the last two weeks . American Spirit Arms is no exception to the overwhelming demand . What we have experienced is that our web site orders have jumped 500 % causing our web site E commerce processing larger Deposits to BANK OF AMERICA ..Well, this through up a huge RED Flag with Bank of America . So they decided to hold the deposits for further review , meaning that the orders/payments that were coming in through the web ,( being paid by the customer and that were shipped out by American Spirit Arms ),the BANK was keeping (UNDER REVIEW )..as you could imagine this made me furious
After countless hours on the phone with BANK OF AMERICA I finally got a Manager in the right department that told me the reason that the deposits were on hold for FURTHER REVIEW
.. WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD NOT BE SELLING GUNS and PARTS ON THE INTERNET

OUTRAGE! BofA Freezes Licensed Gun Manufacturers Deposits We Believe You Should Not Be Selling Guns On The Internet
This crap is getting out of control.
And sharpen your nails.
That is coming directly from Obama.
bofa gives illegals credit cards with no social security numbers. those stories were documented and posted here.
I don't know why any conservative would deal with the BofA. They've been the financial thugs of the Democrats, for at least five years.
I would make use of a good lawyer to get your money out of that bank, pronto, and get your to a better bank.
Almost all banks lay in fear of an investigation over money-laundering. You'd look at an account that suddenly jumps up and is covering a large substantial amount of cash that it typically didn't cover before....red flag. This might anger folks, but the reality is that money-laundering is a big mess in the US, and we made stupid laws to go against it.
Should have been laundering money for HSBC instead..
It's like this dude has never heard of BOA handing free accounts to illegal mexiclowns for the past 5 years. The board is comprised of obama ass-kissers who are pro-amnesty. And you can always search the forum archives with this bank and don't be shocked at their shenanigans.
I might have accepted that excuse all the way up until the bank manager said, WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD NOT BE SELLING GUNS and PARTS ON THE INTERNET.
B of A has always been a POS outfit. I'm not surprised.
Sue them.
Suck their freaking eyes out.
Drudge needs to get this story.
You ain't seen nuttin yet!
1) breach of contract
2) sedition
This past year I closed my long time accounts with BOA AFTER I read about "corporate" BOA getting involved with supporters to repeal the 2nd Amendment..
I wish enough BOA customers would pull out to repeal "BOA"
And they wonder why some say "vote from the roof-tops".
>> This crap is getting out of control.
Either way, we'll win.
The commie douche bags have no clue about the deep-seated roots Liberty has in North America.
I would submit the opposite is true (imho). I would further submit those banks which are not involved in money-laundering are the exception, and not the rule, currently. Wachovia went down from money-laundering (though we were told something different), but that was one small blimp on the screen. Since Wachovia, the problem of money-laundering has become the general rule by which all banks play (imho), not that all activity by banks is illegal, but instead what was once consider illegal is now considered the norm. Money-laundering, I would submit, is considered the norm.
Next comes illegal freezing of assets of law-abiding citizens to force behavioral modifications. boa is the first red flag to achieving this end (imho), and is a new illegality which is now being considered as normal. The times, we live in, are in fact lawless times. The only things not taking place are what will take place. What will take place are the things which are an OUTRAGE. OUTRAGES start conflicts. Americans smell the signs of things to come and are preparing. Smell of things to come. Exercise of Second Amendment. Actions and reactions.
We are not left to conjecture how the moneyed power, thus organized and with such a weapon in its hands, would be likely to use it. The distress and alarm which pervaded and agitated the whole country when the Bank of the United States waged war upon the people in order to compel them to submit to its demands can not yet be forgotten. The ruthless and unsparing temper with which whole cities and communities were oppressed, individuals impoverished and ruined, and a scene of cheerful prosperity suddenly changed into one of gloom and despondency ought to be indelibly impressed on the memory of the people of the United States.
From its superior strength it could seriously injure, if not destroy, the business of any one of them which might incur its resentment; and it openly claimed for itself the power of regulating the currency throughout the United States.
The distress and sufferings inflicted on the people by the bank are some of the fruits of that system of policy which is continually striving to enlarge the authority of the Federal Government beyond the limits fixed by the Constitution.
useful reading for anyone trying to make sense of this mess we find ourselves in these days.
I don't know who these guys are but, the bank has very strict laws and rules they operate under.
I have my suspicions about this story.
I sell to banks and have to comply with a whole host of issues.
I'll begin to believe folks are really 'outraged' when they drop their Comcast subscriptions (e.g., Chris Matthews), change their bank accounts (this story), and get serious about promoting tough district candidates.
FWIW, I respect Disney, Comcast, Viacom, Gannet, etc., but don't feel we're obligated to support the depravity that too often hails from each of these corporate entities.
60 million voted for Romney. Heck, it would take only a fraction of that number to legitimately flip the Country back onto the path of Liberty.
I don't think i'm wrong and hate to be so certain but, banks can't do what this guy is saying.
Besides, they are only interested in making money. They service porn, and other sex businesses and drug businesses.
They have way too many accounts to single. out this one company.
My problem, in viewing this, is the government. What is legal today, can be made illegal tomorrow. It is the way of government. Change the rules all the time, at any point in time, to attain the result desired. Have witnessed it before, as have you, probably. Sometimes the end result is a dictate or directive from a few to attain a result desired by a few, and the citizenry is none the wiser and remains unknowing. As I stated, I do not know what is taking place with boa. Maybe my best response is ... never mind, yet still, am smelling rot. The rot am smelling is from government. boa and banking as a whole is smelling fishing.
I'm with you - this is bogus.
Strikingly similar to another "incident" "reported" in April 2012.
Gee.... Who makes the banking rules? Lemme think now. The illegals thing with BOA has screamed for years the banking system is set up to benefit those in power. Backroom deals with the Mexican Prez. Why wouldn't these same rules be constructed to disarm America. Don't even get me started on the banking relationship with the Fed. I might not be an economist, nor a banking industry expert... but I know a scam when I see it. Fed + bank= scam. If they are scamming with two things,it's easy to guess they are simply deceitful.
"I dont know why any conservative would deal with the BofA."
While I now have nothing to do with ANY American banks, I do remember when BankOfAmerica came out with one of the first universal credit cards back in the 60s.
The BankAmericard was my first credit card, followed by MasterCard. I guess the BOA cards are now Visa?
BofA has been horrible for decades!!
Marketing ploy?
What would he have to gain by making up false allegations and risk being sued out of business by BOA?
It's not like he's some little upstart company trying to generate business. Most, if not all manufacturers of AR type weapons are already a year behind and are not even taking new orders. I suspect that American Spirit Arms is in the same position as the larger manufacturers.
Time will tell and the details of this story will surface within the next few days. We should all wait for the facts to come out before calling BS.
Freepers are absolute asinine clowns sometimes! This is a NORMAL bank procedure which is outlined in EVERY disclosure the bank gives out required by the gov't at the time of opening an account.
If the bank "thinks" something is happening unusual for your protection and theirs they investigate and can place extended holds on the account.
Simply what this manager meant, although badly worded is it may be criminal, or it's at least suspicious to sell firearms on the internet and they were going to investigate. Until then read your disclosure which you accepted the terms of when you open your account!
They need to cut this crap out and clean up their mortgage portfolio.
"This is a NORMAL bank procedure which is outlined in EVERY disclosure the bank gives out required by the gov't at the time of opening an account."
It's not a new account. His company has been dealing with BOA for ten years.
"This is a NORMAL bank procedure which is outlined in EVERY disclosure the bank gives out required by the gov't at the time of opening an account."
It's not a new account. His company has been dealing with BOA for ten years.
It doesn't matter! Banks have red flag systems in place for certain specious activities and when one of those flag raises they HAVE TO, REQUIRED BY BANKING LAW, investigate the activity...It's that simple.
Again, READ the FUNDS DISCLOSURE!
I'm gonna go with this is a BS article...
BOA, GE, AARP, google, all in the tank and on the government extortion list.
Agreed. This vanity/article/whatever is bull. Fearmongering is not what needs to happen right now. We need clear and concise fact. Obinga and his minions are doing quite enough without people going ape on bouncy tales. Oh, and upthread: sedition? Ummmm...no.
> What is legal today, can be made illegal tomorrow. It is the way of government. Change the rules all the time, at any point in time, to attain the result desired
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand
The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates. Tacitus
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. Mark Twain (1866)
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. G. Gordon Liddy
Agreed. B of A was the first company on my lifetime boycott list. Anyone on FR who does business with them needs to close all B of A accounts.
"Well, this through up a huge RED Flag with Bank of America"
Editing is your friend. Think the author meant "threw".
Yes, I remember! Loans to illegals. Bank of Amigo. I will never bank with them.
Let me see if I remember the order of takeovers. irst it was Barnett Bank which turned into NCNB (North Carolina National Bank) whicj turned into BofA. I think there were a few in between does anyone remember from the Florida area?
BofA has robbed a legitimate business. If they can do it to one they can do it to all. If anyone has deposits in a Bof A they should pull them immediately...if they can.
B of A can be liberal now because of all the government business and money they handle
This is just Gun Control Nazi nonsense. This arms manufacturer needs to sue the hell out of a B/A...and Business Socialists need to step back

Just add detergent Bleach 540 : http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/540/3
Well well that was quite the plot twist not bad.
Sick Chapter!!!
But does this mean that when his zan is forged he has to learn bankai again cause its a different zan?
Sorry but I'm not interested in weaklings
Dayummmmmmm I guess what many people thought were some relation to Bach, but not actually Bach himself 1000 years ago. DAMNNNNNNNNN
WOW the last part send chills to my spine... no wonder they look the same.... kudo's to those people who said zangetsu is juha bach... it sounded funny before but whose laughing now hehe......If old man zangetsu is the representation of ichigo's quincy powers..... and its representation is juha bach 1000 years ago... Then i'm going to say that juha bach is part shinigami and quincy...... since these quincy representation taught him his shikai and bankai...
SO whitey is really his true shinigami side.... his true zanpaktou form..... the true zangetsu... although all of them combined in one is the REAL ZANGETSU... which is part shinigami/hollow/quincy.... ichigo is really something
Though i need more clarification in future chapters...... lets hope there is more explanation to this
It makes sense, whitey was always more advanced at using Zangetsu because he was in fact the real blade.
So I take it Tensa Zangetsu is an even younger version of Bach.
Like the way it happened. Never once entertained their similar look. Damn. Good chapter tho. I wonder now, if Shirosaki will absorb Zangetsu? And now it makes sense why Ichigo achieved "bankai" without an Asauchi and why Kuchiki was questioning whether it was indeed a bankai. I'm interested to see how it changes when Ichigo actually taps into his real shinigami powers.
Also, did I read it right that Oetsu has a hollow as well or was that a translation error?
I need Mangastream translation reallllly baaaadd!
Ah, here it is people!
(lol, is Ninaiya a perv? ,,,Private escort?)

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Mangapanda xlation FTL... need to go read Mangastream now.... so confused.
Ok so apparently Old Man Zangetsu is the representation of Ichigo's quincy power, while Hichigo was actually Zangetsu. I really don't know what to think about this, I like the twist but it seems a bit flaky as far as retcons go... After all, Old man Zangetsu was the one who taught Ichigo how to access his zanpakuto's powers. Ichigo had to beat down Old man Zangetsu to learn bankai-- not Hichigo. He had to beat Hichigo down to master his HOLLOW side. This is making little to no sense at the moment, I hope Kubo esplains this a whole helluva lot better.

So Oetsu does have a hollow. Wonder if its "complete" like whitey or if its one like the Vizards.

I really really really wish I would have went to the Chris Ledeaux concert when he came to town. Its really obscure but I would have enjoyed it. Friends went, but I had to work. I said I would go next time he would be back within a year most likely. He passed away before he returned and I missed out completely.

I heard tell of Metallica doing a show in the State Theatre near my place in march, and I saved up lotsa cash for it, but I mixe up the days, and I thought it was a week after it was...I had the tickets and everything. Turned out there was a misprint for one of the tickets, with the wrong date. I got reimbursed for the money, but I still missed the show.
Also, I've been waiting for Avenged Sevenfold to come to Pennsylvania for AGES> And they haven't yet, to my knowledge.

Also missed a Gallows gig and a cancer bats gig this week, and I'm going to miss a mastodon and a Mars volta gig in the next couple of months. Sigh.
Seen Protest the Hero, they sucked a lot. It was in Amsterdam, they were fucking high and sounded shit.
