Skip to comments.BREAKING: Rep. Trey Gowdy Says Eyewitnesses Will Testify Next Week at Benghazi Hearing (Video)
Posted on 04/30/2013 8:38:59 PM PDT by servo1969
Hear Come the Whistle-Blowers Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) spilled the beans tonight on the Benghazi hearings scheduled for May 8th. Gowdy said first hand witnesses will be testifying on the massacre and coverup. He told Greta she wont want to miss it.
Well I am not liberty to disclose the identity of the witnesses but I will just say what I have said previously which is it is going to be a very informational and instructive hearing. I would encourage you to follow it. Benghazi is warming up. It is not going away despite the efforts of this administration
You know that hearsay evidence is not so interesting. First hand accounts by eye-witnesses much more compelling. So I would again repeat for your audience and those who may be watching. Let me just say next week will be a good opportunity for us to hear non-hearsay accounts of what happened in Benghazi.
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
Will any have "unfortunate accidents" before they can testify?
Anticipation is causing me bouts of euphoria.
So any guesses what happens to postpone or otherwise prevent this testimony? A lot can happen in a week.
Looks like Obama's plate's getting full of fires to put out. He's been dishing out full plates to Americans since TAKING office. Now the chickens are coming home to roost
These hearings always seem to over-promise and under-deliver.
The Obamedia is praying for another Muslim attack so they won't have to cover these eye-witness hearings. They might stage one themselves.....
I hope they are in hiding until then.
I think Trey Gowdy means well, but words alone do not excite me. Show me results.... it is then that you can brag about it.
Maybe that's why he wanted to pack up and go home?
These hearings always seem to over-promise and under-deliver.
Good point. The chattering class has already moved on to other "news" so I won't be surprised if this gets minimal coverage.
I think it's taken the CIA and FBI being heinously shat upon by POSHITUS to turn the momentum against him. We HAVE to seize on it.
Like glock said, FORWARD!!!!!
More like will any still be alive to testify if they don't have second thoughts about it?
As someone said, these things tend to over promise and under deliver.
The Kenyan will go on and our suffering will continue. He is the nightmare that never ends. I wonder if we will ever wake up?
I have many doubts and fears.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
This is good. However what we really need are whistleblowers inside the WH. John Dean's if you will. The fact that none will come forward even when a consulate is burned down indicates a high level of corruption
Where is Glenn Beck? Thought he was going to "Break this Story"
Ya Think?
In case you missed this one ~
I for one am looking forward to watching Gowdy do what he does best. And with that, spreading the word that others wish to keep under wraps.
Rush did say a while back hang on something is coming.
Could you add me to the Benghazi reloaded pinglist?
Many thanks,
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Show me big sis, Obama and Hillary going down...then I will believe. Until then, just talk.
If he's one of the witnesses, and I'm guessing he is one, then Trey has something that we've been prevented from learning and if, and it's a BIG if, he might have been in the same room as others, such as the gal from State, that mentioned "watching for six hours....." he can name other names.
Who knows, we do know that there are many witnesses that have been prevented from giving any testimony to Congress and the public.
This explains the hurried Obama press conference appearance. Just a distraction and we all know that Obama was aware this was coming. He won't have another press conference for another three or four months.
The way that Fox and some in Congress have been holding on to Benghazi tells me that they know far more than they have been saying. The whistleblowers have been talking to them off the record.
I doubt if this will ever happen; nothing ever "happens" to expose the fraud.
Malcolm X of New York City said this before his assassination, but I don't know just what he was talking about in his case.
Rush has been expecting "something" before, and it never happens. The American people are too afraid to tell the truth.
I just remember him saying somehing is going to happen so hang in there.
You know there are guys trained and ready to be a rapid response force, who had to "stand down" when they heard there were SOS calls for help.
People were all around who heard there was a bad thing going down and they were told to "stand down," nope , they'd be chomping at the bit to tell ther story.
May 8th.
Aawww...that's just gonna screw up Bath-House Barry's Wednesday night party-time! What a shame.
Maybe he won't be in a "partying mood".
Stay strong and patriotic, whistleblowers-—you'll soon be rewarded.
Exactly. These things are a bunch of showboating by our dear elected officials. They all get their campaign footage showing them "being tough"... but nothing ever comes of them.
Contact your local "news" talking heads—send THEM the information—let THEM know WE know.
Let them know we know THEY'RE NOT REPORTING.
Buckle up your seat belt and send up some prayers.
stfu if they are, I hope they are laying low and trust no one
I watched that and I like this guy. He's got some integrity. Unfortunately, Issa and Boehner don't, so this will go nowhere. Fox will make some noise, NBC will ignore it, and CNN will be reporting on something they made up.
My e-mail to a "news co-ordinator" at my local station.
(You can do it, too.)
"Hear Come the Whistle-Blowers Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) spilled the beans tonight on the Benghazi hearings scheduled for -—. Gowdy said first hand witnesses will be testifying on the massacre and coverup. "
I know you're just the "local news" co-coordinator, but, honestly, I've seen national reports on Channel 2 and they are an embarrassment to us.
People are getting tired of never hearing the important stories that will affect their lives enormously on a federal level, and I dont know who to contact at Channel 2 because you all seem to be in Obamas pocket.
Please make note of the fact that people are turning to alternate venues for really important information concerning our wellbeing. I just thought, perhaps, you might be interested on a personal level, about this information.
Our Military men died trying to save our ambassador in Benghazi, who was sodomized and brutally killed. They had orders to stand down (do NOTHING) from our government.
32 witnesses to the tragedy have been hidden from the American peopleno one knows where they are, and worseour media has refused to ask questions about their whereabouts.
If the whistleblowers can survive long enough to tell their stories to the American public, Channel 2as well as all other media outlets in Obamas pocketwill appear as traitorous, and rightfully so.
I just thought YOU should know WE know. (Whether you report it or not.)"
What I hope to hear from this witness. "Ambassador Stevens personally told me that Clinton turned down the request for more security"
Put a knife in her Now!
1) Where are this "President's" priorities?
2) Why has no one in the "media" picked up on this? You'd think FOX would have, at the least.
So says his Asshat Muzzies turned Commie mentor, Rev. Wright.
Yes and the undelivery is by what is done by our elected
Officials like this chest thumper after the testimony..........nothing.
Odinga and all of the other traitors will be given a free pass and some underling will take the fall.
Libya had huge amounts of assets in quasi legal grey area accounts and investments to skirt sanctions.
Libya also has tons of oil contracts that control billions of dollars worth of oil revenue.
The war in Libya was hostile takeover of those assets.
Just who got them is not clear, but Obama and Hillary were running Libya to their personal benefit and the benefit of those who pull their strings.
Ambassador Stevens was Obama and Clinton's personal representative and black bag man for their schemes in Libya.
This is all about a coverup to protect... Hillary. Obama and the Administration doesn't seem to care what they get caught doing. Just don't care; they are above all that.
Hillary, on the other hand, is likely planning on running, and much of her new credibility was how great of a Sec State she was (still not sure what she accomplished). This could strain the media's carefully scripted narrative about her tremendous skills.
Expect full out war against any whistleblower or Republican that keeps this in the news.
They might stage another wag the dog event?
Trey Gowdy will make it happen if anyone can. Here in South Carolina a lot of us are trying out "Senator Gowdy" or even "President Gowdy" just to see how that sounds. He is well liked by patriots here.
It is OVER for Obama. He senses it. He is finished no matter what he does he cannot change the national meme: the power has moved to the Congress and the voters.

A lightweight and nimble shoe ideal for racing and fast training, the New Balance 1400 v2 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
The New Balance 1400 v2 is all about speed. This lightweight neutral racer packs a REVlite midsole for a quick and responsive ride while remaining cushioned for longer distances. Whether you're out running speedwork or toeing the line on race day, the 1400 v2 is ready to go.
Model Number:
Weight: 6.4 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: 24mm (Heel), 15mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Assembly: Imported
The 1400 v2 is a minimum feature, minimum neutral shoe designed for racing and daily training.
Comments: I love the 1400 version 1, but I have to agree that the version 2 has a really "scratchy" upper. I have about 25 miles on them and they still cause irritation on my toes even wearing socks. Stocking up on the version 1 for now.
From: Michael, AK, USA. May 27th 2014
Comments: I have to take back what I first said about this shoe. Originally I was pretty upset that I wasn't able to comfortably wear these shoes sockless like I do in the V1. The new upper material was just too scratchy on the tops of my feet and I always run sockless. With winter weather forcing me to wear socks like a normal person I found that sweet spot. After a few runs the upper has softened up considerably. The shoe feels firm in the forefoot, but nice and plush in the heel. I'm so happy I gave it a 2nd chance. This is now my go to trail/road shoe. The outsole compound is super sticky even in wet conditions, so even though there's no lugs or aggressive tread for trails, it still sticks really well.
From: Joe, Nashville, TN. 2/20/14
Comments: Marvelous shoe. This is a racing flat, and fits snug, similar to the Brooks T7 as a point of reference. I wear an 11.5 in most shoes, and wear a 12 or 12.5 in the MR1400 v2. The good news is the shoe is incredibly light....my 12.5's are still incredibly light. The feel is perfect for the road, and the shoe feels fast. New Balance has a winner here. This is my racing shoe for 2014.
From: li0scc0. Lincoln, NE USA. 2/4/14
Comments: The 1400 V2 does not necessarily fit smaller. Much of the fit issues are due to the new insole. Since I swap the insole out for a Superfeet Black, the V2 fits me in the same size as the V1. I'm pleased with the update and happy I opted for a pair of the V2 as opposed to a closeout V1.
From: Jeff, Scottsdale, AZ, USA
Comments: Upper is stiffer than original 1400 and the fit is snugger to forefoot. I wear the 1400 without socks and the upper fit on V2 is less comfortable because of stiffness causing rubbing on top of my foot. Right out of the box they felt incredibly light. A noticeable difference in weight from V1. It has a bit less of a cushioned feel to me when run back to back with the V1. Looks like there is less Revlite foam in the heel to save more weight. My opinion is buy all the V1 1400 you can. This update is not better than the original even though it's gotten lighter.
From: Joe, Nashville, TN
Comments: Nice shoes but don't get fooled by NB marketing. This shoes fit way smaller compare to the previous version. It might be 0.7oz lighter in size 9 but if you needed a size 9 in MR1400 you will certainly need a size 9.5 in MR1400v2, the comparison is biased and you might not shave that announced 0.7oz.
From: Jee, New York, NY, USA

Abby- You MUST check out 29th St. Antiques if you haven't already! They inventory changes all of the time because they have multiple vendors. Prices are usually much cheaper than smaller antique stores, but you just have to look harder.

Sally, I actually visit 29th Street Antiques about once a week. It's dangerous for me because if I had money to spend, I could go crazy! Blue door also has multiple vendors. We're so lucky to live in a town that has great sources for vintage and antique pieces!

Yields one 8-1/2-by-4-1/2-inch loaf or 18 muffins
This gluten- and dairy-free quick bread recipe requires only two bowls and a whisk, which makes it especially well-suited for kids' baking adventures. It's delicious with a little bit of coconut oil spread over the top.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the banana puree, eggs, sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, whisk together the quinoa flour, superfine brown rice flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until incorporated. Fold in the pecans and carrots. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan or muffin cups. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes for the loaf pan or 15 minutes for the muffins. To check doneness, insert a wooden skewer in the middle, and if it comes out clean, they are done. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing the loaf.

Can anything take investors' shine off the solar sector? Apparently, no. The Dow is off 100 points, European stocks fell and the Hang Seng slipped 1.5%. But the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN), a highly concentrated bet on solar stocks, is rising 3.5% to yet another fresh 52-week high. Its 2013 gain is 121%.
This time, the boost comes with word that China's Ministry of Finance will give the sector new tax breaks. Tiny Chinese solar stocks are soaring — like China Sunergy (CSUN) (which isn't part of the ETF), up 21%. The ETF's biggest-weighted U.S. component, First Solar (FSLR), is down by more than 1%.
Read my colleague Shuli Ren's take on recent Wall Street analyst upgrades for Trina Solar (TSL) and Yingli Green Energy (YGE). Another ETF, Market Vectors Solar Energy ETF (KWT), is up 2.3% Monday and its YTD rise is about 80%.
Will it end badly for this surging sector? The argument that production capacity is larger than supply is still out there, as is the unwillingness to own companies which are kept on government life support.
Last week, Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov argued the photovoltaics often viewed as synonymous with "solar energy" aren't the only thing in this domain worth watching.
This is from his note on what's called "concentrated solar power." The occasion is word from BrightSource Energy, backed by Google (GOOG) and NRG Energy, that a key project in the Mojave Desert successfully produced power when hooked up:
The only way to store PV (and wind) power is through large-scale traditional storage hardware, including batteries and flywheels. While grid storage solutions such as these hold long-term promise, they are not economically viable for the time being. In contrast to PV, CSP technology allows the incorporation of existing cost-effective thermal power storage, most notably molten salt storage. SolarReserve, another privately held player in the CSP space, is building the 110 MW Crescent Dunes project in Nevada, expected to be completed by year-end; this project incorporates molten salt storage. BrightSource plans to deploy molten salt storage at several of its future projects as well. This feature can extend the hours of power production even after the sun goes down, which is particularly important in areas where demand and prices remain high later in the day. And, as renewables' proportion of the power generation mix rises over time, the need for storage solutions is set to grow. On a related point, CSP systems can be used in combination with traditional fossil fuels (such as natural gas) in hybrid generation plants – what's known as hybridization.

Proof that Santa is very real.

Proof that Santa is very real.
(submitted by Sammantha)
Don't bust on the kid. The last time I took the kids to see Santa the line was 60 minutes long. Nobody leaves the line no matter what!
I love how none of the other boys seem to notice that he's wet his pants. (Or maybe they're just being nice?) I wonder how Santa felt about this?
that is so embarrassing. he'll be known forever as the pee-er
I love this pic! I like the hairstyles on all the boys, who are good-looking kids, and I love how they all seem to be engaged in conversation with Santa, even the older ones. I also like the coloring of the photo, and the mesmerized awe on the wetter's face. So cute!
I like it as well. Very Brady Bunch.
Does anyone else think the guy in the upper left hand corner looks a lot like Kevin Connolly, or is that just me?
He just got flustered while trying to ask for a BB gun.
HO HO HO…LY CRAP! Get-off!
Pees On Earth!
I feel bad for Santa…who wants wet pee pants sitting on his lap!
"Better Watch Out"-check
"Better Not Cry"-check
"Better Not Pout"-check
I guess they didn't tell him why…

Two days after his 29th birthday and one day after Christmas, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings received another gift.
Jennings is headed to Honolulu, Hawaii, as a first-time Pro Bowl selection.
"I've never been to Hawaii," Jennings said with a smile Wednesday at Halas Hall. "This will be the first time. I know my mom's excited."
Jennings and his mom will have a few experienced tour guides from the Bears.
Five Bears players were selected to the Pro Bowl, which will be played Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium. Besides Jennings, the Bears will be represented by cornerback Charles Tillman, defensive end Julius Peppers, defensive tackle Henry Melton and wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
Peppers earned his eight Pro Bowl selection, while Tillman earned his second consecutive selection after missing out in each of his first eight seasons. Marshall earned his fourth Pro Bowl selection as the only representative from the offense, and Melton joined Jennings as first-time selections.
"Words can't express how I feel right now," Jennings said. "This is a good moment.
"The season hasn't gone as well as I expected or wanted it to. But it's not over yet."

Tempers flare as Chase Elliott becomes youngest winner on circuit after bumping Ty Dillon in final turn for win. Elliott's dad and Dillon's grandfather also chime in.
NASCAR's first Camping World Truck Series race in Canada ended with a bump, a crash and a slap.
Chase Elliott earned his first career win in one of NASCAR's premier series after he spun Ty Dillon on the final turn in Sunday's Chevrolet Silverado 250. At 17 years, 9 months, 4 days, he became the youngest winner in series history.
MORE: Hendrick believes he's found gem in Elliott
Moments after Dillon hit the wall, Max Papis and Mike Skeen, who were battling for second place, made contact in the same part of the of the 2.459-mile road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario.
On the cool-down lap, a rival crew member reached into Papis' cab to confront the driver, and after a TV interview, an unidentified woman slapped Papis.
"We had a really good truck, a very good strategy, running in the top five like I knew we had to do," Papis said. "The (No.) 6 car (of Skeen), I knew he was going to do something not very (sportsmanlike) because that is what he did before. He was starting to bump me around in the wrong corner. He came in the last corner and just drilled us. And he not only put me in the grass, he put me against Ty.
"It was just an amateur move and I got really upset with him. ... I don't have time for guys like that."
Papis has complained to NASCAR officials about the incident and said on Twitter the slap dislocated his jaw.
Skeen, meanwhile, said Papis entered his team hauler after the incident and tried to pull his girlfriend down the stairs as he tried to get past her while looking for the driver.
Chad Hackenbracht finished second, followed by Miguel Paludo, Darrell Wallace Jr. and Ron Hornaday Jr. Skeen finished 13th, and Dillon crossed the line in 17th as his crew confronted Elliott's crew on pit road and were separated by NASCAR officials.
"We only have so many shots to win these things. I really hate to win them like that, I really do," said Elliott, the son of 1988 NASCAR Cup champion Bill Elliott. "That's not how I race and that's never been how I've raced. I had a shot. I was up next to Ty and I knew he was going to try and chop me off. I tried to make up the difference. … Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to get to victory lane."
Elliott, driving for Hendrick Motorsports in only his sixth series start, further explained the wreck.
"Had two ideas that didn't work out for me and had an opportunity there getting into 10," Elliott said. "I felt like the 3 (Dillon) was sputtering. I felt like he was really, really close or he was out of gas or something and got to his right rear quarterpanel and tried to move him out of the way and unfortunately ended up putting him in the fence.
"He obviously wasn't happy. He has a right not to be happy. I wouldn't have been happy, either, but at the same time, like we all three said, you've got to do what you've got to do."
Bill Elliott attended his son's win and tacitly endorsed the winning move during a postrace interview.
"You've got a pretty good shot on him right there, and then it's up to the guy on the outside whether you give, whether you don't," Elliott told reporters in Canada. "But all in all, (Chase) did a great job. I guarantee I've lost races like that many times, and I've won them. It all kind of comes around in the way it ends up in the sport. But I'm sure it was a great TV race, and the fans were jumping up when they were all coming through."
Dillon, the younger brother of Austin Dillon and the grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, finished as the last car on the lead lap in the series' first race on a road course since 2000 at Watkins Glen.
"You've got to show respect," Dillon said. "I hope he runs Iowa (next week). He won't finish the race."
It was the kind of learning experience a young driver needs before he gets up to the major leagues with rough-and-ready drivers of Sprint Cup. Learning experience or not, granddad was not happy with Elliott.
"Ty did a perfect job. It was just the kid behind him, but what goes around comes around in this world," Childress said after the drivers' meeting for the Advocare 500 Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he was with Austin. "You don't earn respect doing what that boy did today."
Elliott would not give up his line.
"You just don't stay in the gas until you wreck somebody," Childress said. "He never tried to turn or back off to make the corner. He barely made the corner."
So what about the learning experience?
"You can get beat and banged, but you don't let people wreck you and get away with it and he won't," Childress said. "I don't have to tell him nothing. He knows that. He races people like they race him."
Asked if he had talked to his grandson, Childress said, "I tried to call him, but he was too mad. He didn't want to talk to nobody."

Well Naruto was awesome this week I hope Bleach follows suit.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Sirxxx called it last week: "Current chapter was okay, it just SERIOUSLY dampens your ability to enjoy the chapter when you know it is all gonna be rendered meaningless/moot next week :-/ "
I really have to agree with him, Bleach is getting so predictable when it comes to this. Oh well....I am still hoping something good comes from this because I would hate for the last arc to end on a bad note
My name is Corey and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge in every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with random women, and just generally act like a raging dick head. I contribute to society in no way what so ever
Proud fan of the Oujou White Knights!
Wonder what Ichigo wants to say. Maybe he, Byakuya, Rukia, and Renji are ready to return?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
So, it turns out hitsugaya was really heavily injured and passed out after beating cang du with his complete bankai and i don't think its a hollowfied bankai its just his complete bankai that kubo promised since it was hinted that hitsu's bankai was still incomplete before this arc... and lol at buzz-b talking about cang du being defeated hehe....
And bambieta is being bambieta.... she could create such a big explosion with just screaming with anger.....and then here comes kumamura with a new helmet, armor and determination........ and shinji owning bambieta with just his shikai lol...... so much for comparing this SR to aizen... aizen toyed with shinji's shikai sakanade after adapting to so quickly and commented to it as child's play hehe.... that shows how powerful aizen still is.... and only bach imo is of match or most probably surpassing his strength
And finally the desperation Vollstandig.... so long shinigami.... if their vollstandig has the same properties as opie had... then it would be really be a big problem for all shinigamis.... and one more finally ichigo contacting urahara......... is he coming already?..... urahara first to the rescue.... then ichigo? or maybe the chad, inoue, first and the arrancars before ichigo comes..... then it'll be kenpachi and lastly the royal guards........
And I'm sad that I was not mistaken :-( I will never understand Kubo's aversion to fights and/or showing his characters struggle. Everything with this guy is always one-shots vs. counter one-shots. Just:Greed-sama
Sirxxx called it last week: "Current chapter was okay, it just SERIOUSLY dampens your ability to enjoy the chapter when you know it is all gonna be rendered meaningless/moot next week :-/ "

"Look at my overwhelming power!"
*overwhelms with power*
"My, that was overwhelming...if I didn't have MY own overwhelming power!"
*shock face*
"You were overwhelmed by your capacity to overwhelm. Farewell!"
*gets surprised overwhelmed in an overwhelming way*
I mean, when "Doggie" showed up, I was about to get hyped--He had just finished his Who let the Dogs Out training, AND had just gotten his powers back, and we were gonna see what ol' girl was capable of. Instead, Shinji shows up out of nowhere--and for no other reason than--to overwhelm in a one-shot. Forcing what is sure to be a thrilling series of counter-overwhelming one-shots before Ichigo has to step in to overwhelm everything.
Still enjoyed the chapter, though! Just could've been a little mo' better if Kubo had put in the time/effort. And if Juha Bach predicts one more flipping thing with his fingertips touched together than Aizen needs to sue his ass for fraud, impersonation, and copyright infringement...
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Urghh... I hate it when Kubo does this... I know in the end captains will be just fodders til Ichigo arrives, but seriously. Even I know judging by Hitsugayas intellect or any of the captains intellect that they wouldnt make the same mistake twice. Seriously... he got owned after carelessly leaving Bazz-B, and now he does it again? make sure he is dead dangit XD Oh well, hes screwed. He got fatal injuries, Bazz-B is not so far away and Cang Du is about to get vollstandig. So hes pretty much dead, but then again Probably Orihime, Chad and the Arrancars will make their way before Ichigo comes. So Id really enjoy if Halibel comes and saves Hitsugaya.
And Shinji is a badass. Training his shikai to change the words he says too ? I think we will be seeing Shinjis bankai somewhat soon, since I expect Bambietta to own Sajin Komamura and him to an extent. Speaking of Komamura, I dig his armor : ) too bad he and his bankai will probably get owned : / oh well...
Speaking of "not being enjoyable since it would be meaningless by the next chapter" . Its true, we all know these fights are in the end to entertain us til the main event. but dont say it as if its something only Kubo does Its like Konoha defending against Pain, til Naruto comes. Or how the Z fighters try their best til Goku comes. Its not that exaggerated in One Piece, but it happens sometimes too. Pretty much every manga / anime does this. But it still enjoyable for me.
...Why did they even bother stealing the Bankai if they are stronger without it? I know it weakens the enemy, but it seems a bit weird for them to try and kill the ones they stole the Bankai from. If they managed to kill them then they would have the Bankai permanently, thus weakening them. Seems like a bit of a gamble on Bach's part.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
^ The original from, the Final Quincy Mode, had a huge drawback/side-effect, it was disabling the Quincy's power after usage. While Opie did mention that they have overcome this kind of drawback (I think ), it's possible that a new one has appeared, especially seeing as the Gun-ritter only entered it for a second, for one attack and reverted back. Not to mention that if it hadn't any side-effect or drawbacks, why would Souken disapprove of it ? The most likely possibility, basing on differences between Souken's and Bach's characters, is that the Complete Holy Mode, instead of eating/burning out Quincy's Power, might be slowly devouring the Quincy's life...
The reason to why they have stolen Bankais anyway, might also be because they didn't know that it would block their transformations.
Strangely enough, Hitsugaya has still those ice-flowers around him, so I'm not sure in what way was his Bankai "complete" unless those appeared because of his weakened state and hollowification of his Bankai (since when Cang was using it, they didn't seem to be there). In the end it looks like it only stopped his bleeding for a moment, or perhaps the hollowification ended and wounds reopened ?

Question 27 of 30
True or false: Oil prices quadrupled between 2002 and 2012.
The quadrupling of oil prices from 2002 to 2012 helped make more expensive means of obtaining oil — like fracking — more viable for oil companies.
Question 28 of 30
What is the name of the major shale formation in North Dakota that has been a hotbed for fracking?
Oil companies extracted more than 1.2 million barrels a day in 2014 from the Bakken formation in North Dakota. This rich supply of oil has helped keep U.S. production high and prices low.
Question 29 of 30
True or false: The fastest growth in oil production in history took place from 2013 to 2014.
The tremendous increase in shale production resulted in the fastest oil-production growth in history in 2013 and 2014. Increasing supplies can serve as protection against price increases.
Question 30 of 30
What is ultimately responsible for oil and gas prices?

Like all commodities, the price of oil and gas is ruled by supply and demand. It is worth only as much as people are willing to pay, and a change in available supplies can dramatically affect price.

A hard-to-rattle trainer helps Wendyl Nissen shed kilos.
Crossing Ponsonby Rd has always been a mission. Walk the extra mile to a pedestrian crossing? Use one of those sort-of crossings which provide a resting place halfway across for weary pedestrians? Or just wing it, dodging cars and making it to the other side before they hit you?
I tend to wing it if I'm alcohol-free, use the sort-of crossing if I'm a few drinks down and opt for the pedestrian crossing if it's 4pm and I'm leaving lunch. Which is why I was winging it the other day. I have been alcohol-free (mostly) for six weeks as part of a last-minute attempt to lose weight before I turn 50 in July.
You may remember I wrote a column a few months back about how I was resigned to being a size 16 because if Oprah couldn't lose weight with all those millions at her disposal then how could I?
Some saw it as a cry for help and emailed me with suggestions. One person rang me from my gym and "encouraged" me, very successfully as it turned out, to try out their six-week Fat2Muscle regime.
And so here I am, alcohol-free, drinking three litres of water a day, eating small meals and lifting such huge weights that I've almost fainted three times and have felt on the verge of tears twice.
"Has anyone ever cried?" I whimpered to Trainer Adam as I lay on the floor with my feet in the air - his remedy for dizzy spells.
"Not with me, but it does happen," he said cheerfully.
"Am I supposed to hurt so bad that I can't walk for two days?" I moaned.
"Of course," he replied grinning as if he'd just won Lotto. "That's how you know it's working."
Trainer Adam is hard to rattle. I've sworn at him, collapsed on him, told him in no uncertain terms to leave me the hell alone, and accused him of several forms of cruelty. "Right let's have another go at that leg press," is all he says.
The only time he got a bit annoyed was when I confessed to having had a few wines the night before. He demanded to know exactly how many glasses and then wrote it on my card.
"What are you writing it down for?" I said horrified.
"So that when you moan to me about not losing weight I can direct you to the reason why," was all he said before marching me off to lift more weights.
My husband thinks he is a god. Mainly because he gets me to do things I don't want to do, something my husband has never been able to achieve. And because he's getting me to lose weight. "Where is all that weight disappearing to?" he says every morning. I can't tell him that, but I can tell him exactly where it's disappearing from.
Back at Ponsonby Rd I was winging it across four lanes of traffic when my right shoe fell off halfway. Then, on the homeward stretch, the left one fell off.
I have been wearing my favourite Minnie Cooper ballet flats for five years. They don't fall off.
"Oh that's just great," I said to myself as I stared at my feet, which were now too small for my shoes. "I'm losing weight on my feet. Awesome."
I've also lost weight on my hands, my bust and my face. My stomach and hips last time I looked remain resolutely large.
Trainer Adam wasn't at all fazed when I mentioned this to him.
"Right let's have another go at that chest press," was all he said.

Large Music releases rare vinyl re-issue of Black Ice EP
Another fine reissue of a Chicago classic from Jeff Craven and his Large Music imprint focusing again on the dynamic artistic team of Black Ice Productions. First released in 1992 on Velvet City Records, The Black Ice EP treads more into a deeper and jazzier vibes than their other outings at that time (such as the Union Camp release). A few listens and one can easily recognize the influence that all four tracks had on future labels and artists throughout the mid and late 1990's. This is timeless, pioneering Chicago deep house at its finest and a must have for all collectors.

The Great Microsoft-Google Social Web Battle - Yahoos Pushed Out
The March 25 announcement that Yahoo was joining forces with Google and MySpace to forge the OpenSocial Foundation was hardly a surprise, given Yahoo's tendency toward open standards. OpenSocial includes APIs that let developers write applications that will work on any social site that supports the effort. Facebook has already declined to participate, and Microsoft seems to be in a holding pattern on the OpenSocial spec. What exactly does this mean? Would a Microsoft purchase of Yahoo complicate matters for the OpenSocial Foundation? Could Google and Microsoft get along together in OpenSocial? eWEEK offers a hypothetical scenario of how the social Web could play out in a chess game between rivals Google and Microsoft during the next few years.

Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
BRETHREN, I shall not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ.

Canadians to fight for gold and bronze at under-21 beach volleyball worlds
HALIFAX – After starting the tournament with two losses, top-seeds Victoria Altomare and Melissa Humana-Paredes of Toronto are headed to the women's gold medal match at the FIVB world under-21 beach volleyball championships.
On the men's side, Garrett May and Danny Demyanenko of Toronto advanced to the bronze medal match.
Altomare and Humana-Parades posted two thrilling wins on Saturday. They defeated fifth seeds Victoria Bieneck and Cinja Tillman of Germany 21-19, 14-21, 15-12 in the quarterfinals then 13th seeds Daria Paszek and Renata Bekier of Poland 21-19, 15-21, 15-12 in the semis.
In the semifinal, the Canadians continuously brought their home-country fans to their feet in winning the first set and then coming from 5-8 down in the tiebreaker set to first tie it at 9-9 and then pull away to win it 15-12.
"We really had no pressure on us to win and we had already lost in pool play to this more experienced Polish team so we went out and played well enough to win," said a happy Humana-Paredes, 18, who reunited with Altomare after a year apart. They had played four years together previously.
"After we started 0-2 losing to two very good teams, we decided we wanted to win a medal, even though it was very hard and we had to get out of pool play first,'' said Altomare, 20. '' Now we want a gold medal."
Their opponents for the gold are eighth seeds Nina Betschart and Joana Heidrich of Switzerland.
On the men's side, ninth seeds Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak of Poland were Canadian killers, first beating sixth seeds Fiodar Kazhamiaka of Waterloo, Ont., and William Sidgwick of Toronto in the quarterfinals 21-16, 21-12 then number-ones Demyanenko and May in the semis 21-17, 21-16 in the semis.
Earlier Saturday, Demyanenko and May defeated fourth seeds Ruslan Bykanov and Andrey Bolgov of Russia 21-19, 21-19 in the quarters. May was looking for his second under-21 world crown after winning with Sam Schachter of Toronto last year.
May and Demyanenko face seconds seeds Vitor Felipe and Marcus Carvalhaes of Brazil for the bronze onSunday. Kantor and Losiak meet 20th seeds Valeriy Samoday and Sergiy Popov of Ukraine for the gold.

Plantronics is taking gaming seriously.
At the serious end of gaming, the stakes are high enough to warrant the fastidious obsessing over what configuration gun you're using, which bullets and what skills your player has.
Back in reality, the gamer arranges their chair and layout for the sake of ergonomics. But there are always things that cannot be controlled, and this includes the disruptive, counterproductive ambient noise.
In this war the gamer has a new artillery option and we think it's just as proficient as Call of Duty's AK47. It's called the GameCom Commander and it's a headphone equipped with noise cancellation technology.
It uses Dolby technology to create a virtual 7.1 experience. This helps players determine the direction of footsteps and the trajectory of bullets, which is information vital to identifying where the enemy is attacking you from.
Plantronics has also used their 'best audio and voice technologies' to ensure gamers hear every command. For those who aren't aware, Plantronics' tech was good enough for NASA as the late Neil Armstrong uttered the famous words "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" into one of their headsets.
Ergonomic styling has seen it equipped with comfortable padding and a sturdy chassis. It also features easily accessible controls, breakaway cords and includes a custom carrying case for convenient storage and transport.
Plantronics' limited edition GameCom Commander Headset is compatible with PCs and is available for preorder now for $349 from EB Games and JB HiFi.
GameCom Commander features:
· Unparalleled noise isolation technology · Dolby® Pro Logic® IIx and Dolby Headphone technologies for a realistic 7.1 experience· Superior professional grade fit and comfort with over-the-head ruggedized design· Quick connect controls to PC, mobile or tablet with breakaway cords· Numbered Limited Edition · Case for tournament travel and storage· Adhesive headband strip for branding and personalization

Whitehall bride accused of fatally stabbing fiance
WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. - A 31-year-old woman is behind bars, accused of stabbing her fiance in the heart and killing him on the day they were supposed to be married.
It happened early Saturday morning on Olympic Circle in Whitehall Twp., Lehigh Co. Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the killing, but said it happened after an argument between the couple.
There were still blood stains outside Apartment 7, where police found Billy Rafael Brewster, 36, dying from stab wounds just hours before he was set to walk down the aisle.
"There was an argument, I guess -- woke the dog up, woke us up -- but we didn't hear anything," said Steve Engel, who knew the couple and lives down the hall. "And the gentleman got stabbed."
Brewster's fiance, Na Cola Franklin, was charged with homicide. In court papers, police said four children were in the apartment at the time.
"I just saw a bunch of police in the hallway and kind of a commotion," said neighbor Tim Smith.
Why Franklin allegedly attacked her soon-to-husband isn't clear. Court papers said Brewster was about to go out for food early Saturday morning when an argument broke out and his fiance stabbed him.
Brewster's cousin, staying with the couple for their wedding, said he attempted to break up the fight and witnessed the stabbing.
Neighbors said the couple, who lived there less than a year, did not appear to fight often.
"They had always been quiet," said Smith. "She was really friendly. I didn't really see him that much, but she was really nice."
Engel added: "Shocked, they were very nice people."
69 News asked, "Any sign of trouble?"
"Never, never," he replied. "Very, very nice people. Always said hello, very polite, very friendly."
At her arraignment Saturday afternoon, Franklin cried and appeared dazed. She told,
"I didn't kill no one," she said. Franklin then asked authorities to check on her fiance because she didn't believe he was dead.
Franklin is being held without bail in the Lehigh County Prison. Her next court date is August 17.

"The legacy for diversity in Major League Baseball was established more than 60 years ago, in 1947, by both Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby," said Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "Major League Baseball is forever grateful to both men and their families. Their historic legacy has continued and will continue until fair and equal employment opportunity in baseball is available to all, regardless of race, religion or gender."
Selig went on to discuss the importance of baseball as a "significant social institution" and credited the contributions made by Robinson and Doby as the most important development in baseball during the 20th century.
"Many times I have said that Jackie Robinson entering into the big leagues -- followed by Larry Doby 11 weeks later, thus ending the game's segregation -- was Baseball's proudest moment and its most powerful social statement," he said.
"And thanks to Jackie and Larry, baseball -- for the first time -- became our true National Pastime."
