Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

I want to be a better skier, one who skis all runs gracefully in any conditions, stays forward on the skis, and does not use the left pole as rudder and brake. When I told our instructor that was my goal for our lesson at Red Lodge Mountain, she laughed and said," We probably can't do all that today."
A challenge faced her--two tall men and one small woman between ages 67 and 74, Stein Erickson fans with old habits and new skis. However, we were willing to try anything she taught us--ankle flex, hip flex, nose over toes, lateral weight shift. We worked at it with determination and laughter, especially after her comment, "This might be teaching old dogs new tricks."
My boyfriend taught me how to ski. December 31, 1968, at the top of a run, in borrowed clothes and rented equipment, I looked up to him, excited and eager. "The first thing you have to learn about skiing," he said and gave me a shove, "is how to get up after you fall." Lying on the snow in a scatter of skis and poles, I was more than irritated. What he remembers about it is that I didn't cry. Fat chance! And yes, to quote from Jane Eyre, "Reader, I married him."
I decided it might be better to learn from pros and have taken group lessons at resorts, private lessons in powder and bumps, semi-private lessons that include the old boyfriend, race-training (at age 61), and one wonderful Ski Like A Girl session.
Lessons--they're not just for beginners. The best skiers I know are life-long students of the sport. Taking a lesson can improve confidence as well as skills. Ski with a pro! This instructor was fun, and after trips down Lynn's Run and Little Tree, we believed that we had learned some new tricks.
Why is this blog late? I was trapped for four days at Red Lodge Mountain in deep, new snow, on adventures with friends that included misconceived routes, kick turns, and pit stops in the trees (an old skill, self-taught).

Neal Spencer, British Museum
The latest excavation season at Amara West in Sudan began three weeks ago, with a wide range of excavations and associated research excavations taking place in this 3,000-year old ancient Egyptian town on the banks of the Nile.
Amidst the chilly 6.30am starts, logistical challenges, strong winds, plagues of biting nimiti-flies (and one crocodile sighting), we've been posting daily updates on our work – in the town, cemetery and research at the expedition house – on the project blog with more updates on Twitter: @NealSpencer_BM.
A desirable residence?
The full plan of house E13.5 was revealed in a matter of days, but the real surprise was the presence of stone doorways throughout the house, three of which were built re-using inscribed architecture from an earlier phase, including one doorjamb naming an official, Horhotep.
A five-chambered tomb discovered
Earlier this week, Michaela Binder had one of those moments that, as she put it, reminded her "that this can be the best occupation in the world".
Removing sand from the top of a grave shaft, discovering a small opening, then another and more digging until the flash of a torch reveals five chambers in the largest tomb yet to be found at Amara West.
Read more about the discovery of a five-chambered tomb, by Michaela Binder, physical anthropologist.
Initial discoveries in the eastern burial chamber of G243
Having discovered a new chamber tomb, Barbara Chauvet set about the task of excavating it to reveal, and record its contents. Read about initial discoveries in the eastern burial chamber of G243.
Fertility figurines and ancient architecture re-used
Among the hundreds of objects revealed in excavation (and thousands and thousands of pottery sherds), a fragment of a female figurine offers a glimpse into the beliefs and concerns of the town's inhabitants. Modelled in clay, and sometimes referred to as "concubines of the dead", fertility figures are thought to relate to conception, rebirth or sexuality, as explained by Marie Vandenbeusch, our finds registrar.
The discovery of a door lintel inscribed for Ramses II, re-used as a shelf in a modern Nubian house, was one of the more unusual ways an object comes to light.
Ash, ovens … and faience?
While villa D12.5 is slow to reveal its secrets, outside house E13.5 we have discovered a room provided with six large bread ovens and grinding emplacements, now being excavated by Shadia Abdu Rabo from the Sudan National Corporation of Antiquities and Museums.
Further north, in an area we did not plan to excavate, Sarah Doherty is excavating a building (E13.16) that might be a house or a bakery, along with interesting finds, from hieratic ostraca to a well-preserved necklace. The last few days have seen an earlier phase emerge, with large ceramic ovens surrounded by waste that might relate to faience production.
Looking forward
It already feels like the end of the season is approaching too fast. With so much more work to be done, our days will become longer and longer: we're re-organising our object storeroom, hoping to reveal the full plan of villa D12.5, wondering if the five-chamber tomb can be fully excavated this season, and about to commence detailed micromorphological sampling of floor layers.
Two new programmes of research will also start: Susie Green (UCL) will be joining us to capture 3D visualisations of the housing neighbourhood (E13.3), while Alexandra Winkels (University of Fribourg) will be investigating the technology of ancient wall-plastering in the houses.

Mequon Council
considering term limits
Mequon — The Common Council on Tuesday had its first reading of a term limit provision for the alderman and mayor positions.
The change would institute a 12-year — or four term — limit, after which an official would be required to relinquish the spot for six years before running again.
If the term limits are approved, current officials would begin counting as of the beginning of their next term, said City Attorney John DeStefanis.
Alderman Ken Zganjar, who introduced the idea at the city Public Welfare Committee, said it's important for residents to have a "reset button" on their elected representatives. He said the council values the "fresh" view of newer aldermen like Robert Strzelczyk, Andrew Nerbun, and John Leszcynski.
"I think they bring a new perspective to the discussion," Zganjar said.
Village advocates
for at-grade intersection
Brown Deer — Village officials Monday night continued to advocate for an at-grade intersection at Brown Deer and Green Bay roads, instead of the state Department of Transportation's intended overpass design.
Village Manager Michael Hall said village officials and staff again made their case Monday while state Rep. Dan Knodl, R-Germantown, was in attendance and will be sending information to state Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills.
Hall said the village needs the support of prominent state politicians if the DOT is to be swayed.
"Really it's a political question now," Hall said.
Polling places
Mequon — City of Mequon aldermanic districts 5, 7 and 8 will have new voting locations come the April 1 election.
Districts 7 and 8, which formerly voted at Donges Bay School, will now vote at Lumen Christi Church, 2700 W. Mequon Road.
District 5, which formerly voted at Concordia University, will now vote at Christ Church, 13460 N. Port Washington Road.
Village Board agrees to bids for walking bridge
Thiensville — The Village Board on Monday voted, 6-1. to bid out a walking bridge project over Pigeon Creek.
A discussion ensued during the meeting over whether an easement, or pathway, south of Glaze on Green Bay and behind Fiddleheads Artisan Bakery, should be funded.
Public Works Director Andy LaFond described the pathway and bridge as resembling the small bridge built behind Shully's Cuisine in Thiensville.
The budget for the project is $75,000. However, an estimated bid detailed $56,000 for the bridge construction. The pathway construction cost, including landscaping on both sides of the path, ranges from $10,000 and $20,000.
"I received many favorable comments," Village President Van Mobley said of the bridge.
Trustee Rob Holyoke was the lone dissenter.
"We spent a lot of money on the (municipal) parking lot and little park already," he said, after the meeting. "Enough is enough."
Shorewood Police Department invites residents for coffee
Shorewood — Join members of the Shorewood Police Department for "Coffee with a Cop" when police officers will be available to speak with residents, answer questions, listen to their concerns or just to say hello.
"Coffee" is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Feb. 27 at Einstein Bagels, 4301 N. Oakland Ave.
Attendees will receive a free small coffee when they make any purchase along with having the flier that officers will be handing out or show the department's Facebook ad on their phones.
More information is available at email@example.com.
Village Board OKs temporary stage at Village Park
Thiensville — The Village Board on Monday unanimously passed a proposal for a temporary stage in Village Park. Their vote was meant to show the Village of Thiensville's Planning Commission they supported the concept so they could move forward with the plan.
The proposed stage will be sponsored by the Thiensville Business Association.
Jesse Daily, owner of CORE, an engineering consulting firm who helps run the village farmers market, said the cost will be covered through donations and sponsorship money from the farmers market. The tent covering the stage will be donated by Suburban Rental in Thiensville.
The approximate 10-foot by 20-foot stage will be on a portable trailer and be useful at other park events.
Shorewood honored
for intergenerational makeup
Shorewood — Shorewood was one of four communities nationwide honored by the Metlife Foundation and Generations United with an America's Best Intergenerational Communities Award.
According to a village news release, the awards are meant to raise awareness of the importance that "intergenerational solidarity plays in building strong, supportive communities."
"It takes a great deal of effort and forward thinking to create a community where members of every generation want to live," Generations United Executive Director Donna Butts said in the release.
Shorewood was noted for its senior-friendly programming, joint programming between the Senior Resource Center and school district, and other programs which "connect to all age groups."
Shorewood representatives will accept the award on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on March 25.
Brown Deer to stay in USDA food service program
Brown Deer — Despite dismay about tighter restrictions, Brown Deer school officials announced Tuesday they intend to remain in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's lunch program.
Involvement means the district's food service provider will need to adhere to a number of guidelines aimed at curbing the obesity epidemic. Critics, however, have stated the restrictions are so high that students frequently receive unappealing foods.
If Brown Deer were to leave the USDA program, the district would need to find another funding source to subsidize meals for students eligible for free and reduced meals.
"Our financial analysis indicated that we cannot afford to drop the federal subsidies, so we will have to do our best under the new rules," Director of Finance Emily Koczela said.

"It is a privilege to see the work of these young artists and to be a part of their experience in the Scholastic Art Awards," said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. "With so much talent, I have no doubt that choosing the winners was hard for our jury, and I look forward to seeing some of these same artists competing again next year."
Brown Deer could renew agreement with bus provider
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer School District could renew its transportation agreement with the Riteway Transportation Group as part of a proposal unveiled last week.
Plans call for the district to enter into a two-year agreement with Riteway in exchange for a 1-percent increase in existing rates for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years.
Brown Deer's existing rates with Riteway range from a $32 hourly rate for field trip transportation to a nearly flat $95 daily figure for single routes.
The Finance and Facilities Committee recommended moving forward with the agreement, and the School Board could make a final decision later this month.
A second issue related to transportation — ownership of buses — remains under review. The district is considering selling its aging vehicles and possibly contracting with Riteway to use its fleet.
Mequon Nature
Preserve honored
Mequon — The Mequon Nature Preserve has been awarded an Innovations in Urban Forestry award from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Urban Forestry Council.
The award recognizes the MNP's efforts to restore and preserve an urban forest for the benefit of the public, according to an MNP news release.
Noted by the DNR was a recent project of removing buckthorn from a six-acre hardwood forest. At the end of the project, MNP staffers were pleased to find two white oak trees estimated to be older than 150-years-old.
Hospital's 5K run/walk to benefit Glendale Police Department
Glendale — The Orthopaedic Hospital of Wisconsin is planning a 5K run and 2-mile walk to benefit the Glendale Police Department's Body Armor Fund.
The Common Council last week approved the organization's request to hold the event on Saturday, May 17, with Parkway School designated as the starting and finishing point on the route.
Staff resources needed for the event will be minimal, Police Chief Tom Czarnyszka said. Marshalls will be posted at every intersection throughout the race, with traffic cones and barricades to be used for added safety. The run is expected to last about 45 minutes, to be followed by post-race food and beverages, live music and a silent auction. All proceeds would go to the Police Department.
Planning under way for Glendale's Fourth of July festivities
Glendale — Although July is still months away, planning for Glendale's annual Fourth of July festivities is already well under way.
Bryan Kennedy, chair of the Fourth of July Committee, last week provided the Common Council with an update on the tentative schedule and action plan for the event, which includes a full day of activities, beginning with the children's parade at 10 a.m. and concluding with fireworks at 9:15 p.m.
In between, activities include a children's carnival, food vendors, softball, soccer, music and other events from noon to 5 p.m., as well as other vendors from 5 to 9 p.m. Kennedy said the committee has discussed having bounce houses and relay races for children, as well as the possibility of performances or presentations by community groups, which would require rental of a temporary stage. He noted that the committee is hopeful the city will move forward with plans to have a more permanent location to hold such events in the future, which Mayor Jerome Tepper said has been discussed.
The committee is also putting together a booklet that would highlight the events for the day and include advertising spots to showcase local businesses. Kennedy said he has been very pleased with the recent growth of the committee, which has included representatives from Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the Common Council and local school boards and parent-teacher organizations, for example.

Fundraising under way
for 'Richards court'
Whitefish Bay — A volunteer fundraising committee is asking for donations to help rebuild the dilapidated "back yard" area at Richards Elementary School.
A two phase plan is set to begin in the spring. In the first phase, the existing tennis court area will be demolished replaced with the "Richards Athletic Court," composed of three tennis courts, three half-court basketball courts, several foursquare and hopscotch grids and backboards for kids to throw and kick balls against, according to a news release from the fundraising committee.

— Don de Dieu —
About the Legend
Don de Dieu (Gift of God) was the name of the ship that Samuel de Champlain sailed on his mission to "explore and discover the vast and perilous land of America" in the name of the King of France. His travels led to the founding of Quebec City in 1608 (a modification of the Algonquin word "kebec" which means "where the river narrows"). Inspired by this great adventure, Unibroue created Don de Dieu an abbey-style triple wheat ale refermented in the bottle.

Works for me
"I wear these shoes to work at a preschool. I spend a majority of my time running around with my students so my shoes get worn down fast. These shoes are still going strong four months after purchase. I really liked the price however, I don't mind spending money on shoes that are comfy and last. ASICS are my favorite!"

Too Cute!!
"These are pretty and comfy, but a little stiff compared to the ASICS GEL-BLUR 33. They also don't have much of an arch support so I will have to get some orthotics, but I do have a bit of a high arch."

"I usually wear a size 8 shoe, so I got an 8.5 in the Asics but had to exchange for a 9. This is my second pair of Asics work out shoes, they are great."

"I bought the gold colour ones and the sequence on the platform is nothing like the picture. It is completely gold shinny sequence where you really cannot tell if there are much difference in the shadings and the gold sequence really made the rest of the shoes look gaudy to a point that I didn't bother to try them on as I would not been seen in public with them. Very disappointed!"

Glyph - 2.5.4rc
Chandler Armstrong (omnirizon)
glyph is a library for manipulating text and printing it to a pygame window. so what? there are about a million pygame libraries to do that already. glyph is different for a few reasons: 1) glyph provides a within string literal mini-language for text manipulation. you can use the mini-language to indicate what you want exactly where you want it, all right within the string literal. 2) glyph provides typesetting like functionality: positioning text, wrapping text, justifying text, scrolling text, switching font, text color, background color, even inserting images into text 3) glyph provides 'linked' text: text that returns a value whenever the mouse is hovering over it. this can be used to route the user around your program, or provide tooltips. one simple object, the Glyph object, provides all this functionality. how? because Glyph interprets a mini-language, provided in string literals, that indicates how the Glyph object should treat text.
the clear method was not refilling the image with the background color; fixed.

Sen. Ted Cruz says there will be �20 or 30 million� people living in the U.S. illegally �in another 10, 20 years� if the Senate immigration bill becomes law. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the bill, if enacted, will reduce future illegal immigration by 33 percent to 50 percent compared with current law.

- Capsule
- Solution
- Syrup
- Tablet, Extended Release
- Tablet
Warnings:Oral route(Solution)
Lithium toxicity is closely related to serum lithium levels, and can occur at doses close to therapeutic levels. Facilities for prompt and accurate serum lithium determinations should be available before initiating therapy .Oral route(Tablet;Tablet, Extended Release;Capsule)
Lithium toxicity is closely related to serum lithium levels, and can occur at doses close to therapeutic levels. Facilities for prompt and accurate serum lithium determinations should be available before initiating therapy .
Uses of This Medicine:
Lithium is used to treat mania that is part of bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness). It is also used on a daily basis to reduce the frequency and severity of manic episodes. Manic-depressive patients experience severe mood changes, ranging from an excited or manic state (e.g., unusual anger or irritability or a false sense of well-being) to depression or sadness.
It is not known how lithium works to stabilize a person's mood. However, it does act on the central nervous system. It helps you to have more control over your emotions and helps you cope better with the problems of living.
It is important that you and your family understand all the effects of this medicine. These effects depend on your individual condition and response and the amount of lithium you use. You also must know when to contact your doctor if there are problems with using the medicine.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, lithium is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:
- Cluster headaches.
- Mental depression.
- Neutropenia (a blood condition where there is a decreased number of a certain type of white blood cells).
Before Using This Medicine:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of lithium extended-release tablets in children younger than 12 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of lithium capsules, solution, and tablets in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Older adults—
Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of lithium have not been performed in the geriatric population. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related heart and kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving lithium.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Oral Question Period

Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, in 1997, the federal government transferred ownership of the Tracadie firing range to the Province of New Brunswick for conversion to ecological and tourism development. The people of Tracadie are now concerned because of the recent information on the use of toxic herbicides at Gagetown, New Brunswick.
My question is for the Minister of National Defence. Can he confirm, yes or no, that shells containing highly carcinogenic substances were used on the Tracadie-Sheila firing range, as well as toxic herbicides?
National Defence
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Toronto Centre
Bill Graham Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, as is the case with the use of agent orange and other practices by the department in the distant past, we are prepared to examine each case where products were used which caused problems and had harmful effects. We are, of course, concerned with the case of agent orange which, as I have said, was sprayed seven days a week for two years over Gagetown's lands. We will continue all our investigations on all our bases to determine whether other agents have been used.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, according to the Montreal Gazette of June 13, the RCMP estimated in February 2004 that 800 people enter Canada annually to be sold, most of them in the sex trade. Traffic in human beings means their recruitment by some kind of intimidation or offer of payment by someone with authority over them, for purposes of exploitation.
What measures is the government taking to prevent this abomination of trafficking in people, trafficking in foreigners?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Mount Royal
Irwin Cotler Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, we have introduced a bill on this type of trafficking. We will fight both nationally and internationally in this regard.
I hope that all parties in the House will support this bill so that we can pass it in the near future.
Oral Question Period
3:05 p.m.
The Speaker
The hon. member for Ahuntsic has given the Chair notice of a question of privilege. I will now hear from the hon. member for Ahuntsic.
Oral Question Period
3:05 p.m.
Eleni Bakopanos Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, during debate on private members' business on Monday, May 9, the member for Montmorency--Charlevoix--Haute-Côte-Nord, while presenting examples during debate on his bill, Bill C-312, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act, appointment of returning officers, which we will be voting on tomorrow, made reference to my riding of Ahuntsic and stated that:
In another riding, it was discovered that the returning officer was the president of the Liberal association for the riding. It is time somebody woke up. This is Earth calling.
That is inappropriate language.
The returning officer is the president of the Liberal riding association in Ahuntsic.
This matter was only brought to my attention last Monday when the member for Calgary West, while referring to the May 9 presentation by the member for Montmorency--Charlevoix--Haute-Côte-Nord, stated:
In the member's last presentation he spoke about how even current presidents of Liberal riding associations have actually been appointed to be the returning officers in their ridings. He listed specifically my riding, the riding of Ahuntsic.
While I support the aim of the member opposite's motion, I have to repeat the remarks of my colleague from Gatineau in the same debate, "We must not get too carried away on this point. People's reputations are at stake". This is something the opposition is continually forgetting.
Second, she said that even Mr. Kingsley, the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, had said, in his testimony before the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, that he would, in the end, keep almost all of the incumbent returning officers if he had the authority to hire or dismiss them.
Mr. Speaker, I call on you to ask the member for Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord and the member for Calgary West to withdraw their comments, since they are totally erroneous.
Let me be clear. The facts are the Ahuntsic returning officer did not hold the position of riding president at the time of his nomination and therefore, by consequence, definitely did not hold the position at the time of his appointment.
Again we continue to malign reputations in the House without any consideration for the truth and only for political expediency. In fact, it has become the sport of choice of both the Bloc and the Conservatives.
As such, I respectfully request that the members for Montmorency--Charlevoix--Haute-Côte-Nord and Calgary West be asked to withdraw their specific comments which are untrue.
Oral Question Period
3:10 p.m.
Michel Guimond Charlevoix—Montmorency, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to inform my colleague—also for your benefit—that I withdraw those comments.
Oral Question Period
3:10 p.m.
The Speaker
I thank the hon. member. I hope that will be the end of this matter. I believe the hon. member for Calgary West was merely citing the hon. member. Once he has read this he may want to add a few words later.

Skip to comments.RUSSIAN 'BIN LADEN' KILLED BY MOSCOW'S SPECIAL FORCES
Posted on 03/07/2010 4:13:41 PM PST by Cindy
"Russian 'Bin Laden' killed by Moscow's special forces Russia exulted in the death of a terrorist dubbed "the Russian Bin Laden," yesterday claiming it has proof he was behind a deadly train bombing last November that left 28 people dead."
By Andrew Osborn in Moscow Published: 7:11PM GMT 07 Mar 2010
SNIPPET: "The FSB intelligence service said a special forces operation had resulted in the death of Sheikh Said Buryatsky, an Islamist convert whose real name was Alexander Tikhomirov."
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Hat Tip: Freeper MamaDearest.
"The FSB intelligence service"
Looks like they renamed the KGB.
Outstanding Wet Mission.
Ivan rocks it when it comes to this type of biz.
Props to KGB on this
...claiming it has proof he was behind a deadly train bombing last November that left 28 people dead.When they sank their own sub testing a self-guiding torpedo years ago, they immediately accused the US of sinking it. They can take any so-called proof they have and stuff it up their kazoos. Thanks Cindy.
The Russians wrap the corpses of dead Chechen terrorists in pig skin before burying them. Or at least they say they do.
After the seizure of the theater in Moscow, and the death of so many civilians, a PURGE of any separatists they can find seems reasonable. And remember the elementary school? Deport them or bury them.
Another gold medal to the Russians.
Vlad Putin is our enemy but I like it! Dead Jihadis are peaceful Jiahdis
Ditto and Bump.
Works for me.
In Russia, SF whack muslim terrorists.
In America, the government gives them lawyers, full rights of native-born America citizens, calls them criminals, helps them into AWD act compliant courtrooms, gives them three square halal meals a day, korans, a cell with East marked, access to terrorist imams, a translator, etc. If they are found guilty they stand an equal chance of doing jail time (with the opportunities for pardons, commutations, 20 different early release programs) or simple repatriation with their jihad country.
Russia - still knows what balls are and how to get the job done. America - completely infiltrated and on the way out.
Sure they do, that is why the asked Iran to co-opt them while selling them nuclear parts and pieces.
Home run!
I thought that was just in 'The Hunt for Red October'.
Sure, there's a lot of stinky stuff going on with Obama and the rest of the left, but I think our stack of dead terrorists is much larger than the Russian's.
When did they sink their own sub? I'm curious.
August 2000.
Meanwhile, Putin is protecting Iran that is threatening to nuke Israel off the map.
Putin only hates Jihadis that attack Russia and then embraces Jihadis that threaten America and Israel.
All true and if the Israel Jews were as ruthless as some make them out to be.... They would use earth penetrating tactical nukes on Iranian nuclear targets and a few other Iranian targets. The fighter bombers might not make it back to Israel so they splash down and get rescued
Now about those Olympic coaches...
Perfectly stated! As in Putin's ongoing support via weapon shipments to Syria, Iran (Hamas-Hezballah) & Libya.
Obama remains mute on these issues, which speaks volumes.
Footage of the assault shows FSB special forces engaged in a fierce gun battle with the militants. The FSB then appears to have fired several tank rounds into the house to punch a giant hole in the wall.
We need to dump our traitor-president and get a patriot-avenger.
Bet they didn't read him his Miranda rights...
Sighted Sheikh, shot same
Sighted Sheikh, shot same
Putin acts in the best interests of his country, which is more that we can say about the current WH occupant.
The enemies of our enemies are our enemies. Dead Jihadis are roving ambassadors of peace. Shining examples that you can indeed reform a psycho killer and hopefully young Muslims will take heed

Anyone else wonder how Isshin aged so fast compared to the other shinigami? FGT? He's really young in that flashback
So So
Anyone else wonder how Isshin aged so fast compared to the other shinigami? FGT? He's really young in that flashback
So in answer to your question, Yes, FGT and the gigai he gets would probably account for his aging.
Doesnt being in a Gigai too long have a negative like it makes you more human, or it becomes harder to take off or something? I would imagine after so long in the gigai it made him have the problems of a living human, age, hunger, sleep, etc
A pie in the sky?
In similar manner, the reason why most of Rukia's power were transfered to Ichigo and she was slowly loosing them, is because that was her wish, since she deemed herself unworthy of being Shinigami/those powers (you know all that guilt from not protecting and actually killing her love-ehm superior officer).
It also worked with Chad and Inou, since both of them had potential to awaken those powers on their own (as it's obviously shown by the Fullbring arc), it simply pulled them out in correlation to their wish.
Of course we can't forget Aizen's statement that living beings (it's unknown if he meant all creatures or only humans) are made in a way that allows for all of their wishes to be granted (basically infinity potential). After which, Ishin breaks in anger to his comment... it's unknown if it was because it had something to do with Masaki, or that thanks to H-cube Aizen could become a new Soul King (though seeing as Ishin had thrown away being a Shinigami, the first option is more likely).
I believe Inoue and Chad had their powers awaken from being close to Ichigo for so long, his high spiritual power helped to bring out their potential and awaken it, I think Urahara confirmed it or might have been Aizen I dont remember, same thing with the others he was friends with, just being with him help to strengthen their reiatsu so they didn't pass out when SS put Karakura to sleep in the Soul Key arc.
I gotta find it but I could of sworn that in the first few chapters of bleach the whole gigai thing got explained, and there was a law about staying in it too long according to SS, something bad happened or w/e lemme re-read
A pie in the sky?
In the fake Karakura Town arc, Aizen confirms that it was the H-cube that drew out the potential they had, in accordance to their wish (two pages in one spoiler):
Likely Chad himself would have awakened his Fullbring powers as every other Fullbringer had done eventually (he always had the potential the H-cube only made it happen).
In this arc, it was also implied that Urahara knew what H-cube really did, but hide it and pretended that he didn't know (after all, it's a near wish granting machine, you just don't mention something like that to anyone). Interesting enough, Urahara also implied that now he would have been able to master the H-cube, thus if he had regained it or created a new one (did he really make it in the first place ? Most of his inventions seem to be half-copies anyway) he might have been able to go beyond what Aizen managed...
I'm not sure how well made normal Gigai's are, but Urahara's are superior in every aspect. After all, the Vizards used them for over 100 years (being undetectable is such a great thing, kukukuku, plus it seems that they haven't made any contact with Urahara during that time-span). The detailed information about Gigai's certainly came from Urahara, since he had to explain why his product works like that, but of course the real reason was omitted, that it was because of the H-cube within the gigai granting her wish.
@ Zero, I think you've struck something here. Urahara has copied Techniques from Squad Zero in his creations before, like the healing pool that Ichigo and Yoruichi used in the Save Rukia arc.
It is not a stretch to imagine that HGQ is a modification of another Soul King's Dimension artifact or discovery. However Aizen did say that both he and Urahara arrived at HGQ independently, If I remember correctly.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Well, from what I understood, it seems that the Hogyouko is a name that Urahara gave it (based on how Aizen was reacting when commenting on it's name being truly a good fit, like a person commenting on a painting's name), what's more, based on the information we got, their inventions are different.
From what I understood, Aizen's invention had two capabilities, one was to eat (it could eat spiritual energy, whole spirits, even Urahara's H-cube), the other was hollowification, but that's it. On the other hand Urahara's could almost grant wishes, it could made possible happen, thus in a way far surpassing Aizen's invention, but that's not all, seemingly indifference to Aizen's version, Urahara's had a will of it's own, of which Aizen learned only after SS arc.
Speaking of the Zero Squad, I wonder for what achievement other members were picked up. From what I have seen they are basically fulfilling basic roles of servants of royalty:
- a cook - mod soul creator,
- a doctor - healing hot spring maker,
- a blacksmith - zanpakutou creator,
- a security guard - was appointed for her unparalleled anti-thief and enemy measure? (she did mention that when she was in Gotei, breaking in wasn't as east it was now),
- a general (or a priest ?) - unparalleled leadership skills?.
