What Is a Spinal (Vertebral) Compression Fracture?
When a bone in the spine collapses, it is called a vertebral (spinal) compression fracture. These fractures happen most commonly in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine), particularly in the lower vertebrae of the thoracic spine. These fractures usually lead to incapacitating back pain, a reduction in your mobility and often a decline in overall health. By stabilizing the bone (essentially gluing the fracture back together) this procedure reduces pain and allows a speedy return to an active lifestyle.
What Are Some Causes of Spinal Compression Fractures?
Compression fractures of the spine generally occur from too much pressure on the vertebral body. This usually results from a combination of bending forward and downward pressure on the spine.
A common cause of compression fractures is osteoporosis. This disease thins the bones, often to the point that they are too weak to bear normal pressure. The thinning bones can collapse during normal activity, leading to a spinal compression fracture. Spinal compression fractures are the most common type of osteoporotic fractures. These vertebral fractures can permanently alter the shape and strength of the spine. The fractures usually heal on their own and the pain goes away. However, sometimes the pain can persist if the crushed bone fails to heal adequately.
In severe cases of osteoporosis, actions as simple as bending forward can be enough to cause a "crush fracture", or spinal compression fracture. This type of vertebral fracture causes loss of height and a humped back, especially in elderly women. This disorder (called kyphosis or a "dowager's hump") is an exaggeration of your spine that causes the shoulders to slump forward and the top of your back to look enlarged and humped.
Trauma to the spinal vertebrae can also lead to minor or severe fractures. Such trauma could come from a fall, a forceful jump, a car accident, or any event that stresses the spine past its breaking point.
Another cause of vertebral fractures is a metastatic disease. Metastasis is a term that refers to the spread of cancer cells into other areas of the body. The bones of the spine are a common place for many types of cancers to spread. A compression fracture of the spine that appears for little or no reason may be the first indication that an unrecognized cancer has spread to the spine. The cancer causes destruction of part of the vertebra, weakening the bone until it collapses. This is a sign that something going on internally is harming the bones.
What Are Some Treatments for Spinal Compression Fractures?
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two procedures performed at the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center that treat spinal compression fractures. They work by injecting medical-grade bone cement directly into the fractured vertebra. This cement hardens quickly and acts like an internal cast. In some cases, a balloon is inserted into the fracture (kyphoplasty) to expand the space before the cement is added. This may help to restore the vertebra to something closer to its pre-fractured height. Franklin Moser, MD, director of Interventional Neuroradiology, and Marcel Maya, MD, head our team of imaging physicians, nurses and technologists who specialize in treating spinal compression fractures.
What Is a Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty?
Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive spinal procedures. They are used to treat painful progressive vertebral body collapse/fractures (VCFs). The VCFs may be caused by osteoporosis or the spread of a tumor to the vertebral body. These fractures usually lead to incapacitating back pain, a reduction in your mobility, and often a decline in overall health. By stabilizing the bone (essentially gluing the fracture back together) this procedure reduces pain and allows a speedy return to an active lifestyle.
The kyphoplasty procedure involves the use of an orthopedic balloon to restore the vertebral body height and shape. This is followed by an injection of medical-grade bone cement directly into the fractured vertebra. This cement hardens quickly and acts like an internal cast. Vertebroplasty is similar to kyphoplasty.
Kyphoplasty takes about one hour per fracture and usually requires an overnight stay in the hospital.

By Tim CareyDriven by ecological and political concerns, and fueled by stimulus dollars, smart-energy infrastructures—the smart-electricity grid and the related electric-transportation ecosystem—are becoming realities. As PwC's US Cleantech leader Tim Carey observes, interest and support for these infrastructures are growing, and opportunities for a diverse group of partners—both large and small—are emerging at a rapid pace as the build-out accelerates. Both businesses and investors have taken notice and are poised to cash in on what could turn out to be a revenue bonanza. But some companies are missing out on opportunities they didn't know existed. Are you among them?
On August 14, 2003, more than 50 million people were affected by a massive power outage that began in Ohio and subsequently shut down over 100 power plants in the United States and Canada. It was neither the first time that the reliability of traditional infrastructures like the electricity grid has been challenged, nor the last.
Today, a convergence of political and economic events has set in motion an erosion among such infrastructures. Under strain for decades, the electricity grid is among the first to receive the attention of both large companies and entrepreneurs, which are revolutionizing the way electricity is generated, transmitted, distributed, and consumed.
This burst of innovation is in large measure a response to a national mandate to create a smart grid capable of supporting increased levels of renewable energy and a growing fleet of electric vehicles. This in turn is leading to new sectors that are fueling major convergences and cross-pollinations between and among a plethora of partners, including utilities, energy storage firms, automakers, telecommunications and information technology companies, and providers of renewable energy. Understanding these new convergences and the dynamics shaping them will enable companies to assess and seize opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

NASCAR, Auto Shows, Ice Cream and Pure Michigan
It's been a busy week for Pure Michigan and today, we thought we'd catch you up on some of the news you might have missed from earlier this week.
Pure Michigan 400
Yesterday, the Michigan International Speedway and Pure Michigan announced that they are again teaming up to host the Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at MIS on Sunday, August 19. The three-year partnership was announced at the North American International Auto Show with two of NASCAR's most popular and successful drivers, Ryan Newman and Sam Hornish Jr. Check back here later this year for information as we get closer to race day.
Pure Michigan Ride and Drive Track at the Auto Show
Speaking of the North American International Auto Show, be sure to stop by and check out the Pure Michigan Ride and Drive Track--a quarter-mile indoor ride-and-drive test track surrounded by landscaped and forested terrain, where visitors take a ride in electric and hybrid vehicles provided by more than 30 auto manufacturers. This ride and drive area features a sand-covered road to convey a Pure Michigan dune look and feel, and 40 banners displaying natural Michigan scenes will also help create a unique driving experience. Remember, the show opens to the public on January 14th and runs until the 22nd. For a recap of vehicles from the Detroit automakers, check out this post from earlier this week.
Hudsonville Ice Cream "Create a Flavor" Contest
Do you like ice cream and think you have a great name and idea for a new Pure Michigan State Park flavor? Hudsonville Ice Cream in Holland is partnering with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Pure Michigan and has launched a "Create a Flavor" contest where you are encouraged to submit a name and flavor that best represents the outdoor joys of Michigan. The winning flavor will be chosen from a panel of Outstanding Outdoor Kids and celebrity judges.
To enter, visit www.hudsonvilleicecream.com. The grand prize for the winning ice cream flavor includes free Hudsonville ice cream for a year, a one-week stay in a Michigan state park or harbor of the winner's choice, a $1,000 gift card from Meijer and Pure Michigan merchandise.
The campaign will continue throughout the summer with an RV ice cream tour crossing the state promoting the popular DNR Recreation 101 program. As the official ice cream of the Michigan State Parks, Hudsonville Ice Cream will distribute the winning flavor to retail outlets and ice cream parlors throughout Michigan and the Midwest as well as during the RV ice cream tour this summer.
For more information, check out this audio clip featuring Maia Stephens from the Department of Natural Resources on Shelley Irwin's Morning Show. Audio clip

Skip to comments.Looters 'swipe' up the mess in chaos zones (NYC: Post-Sandy Looting Starting)
Posted on 10/31/2012 4:20:09 AM PDT by AmericanInTokyoEdited on 10/31/2012 4:23:37 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
click here to read article
A disaster always brings out the worst of human nature. People begin looting and stealing!
This is what happens when societal norms rapidly break down.
The shot gun remedy should have been very evident. The first load of No. 8 bird shot across the legs with a second of buck shot in case the first was not pursuasive enough.
The Rats surface.
Why wasn't President on the ground there during the hurricane? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE NEW YORKERS!!! HE WANTED THEM TO DIE!!!!
Not so here in Japan after a natural disaster 100x that of Hurricane Sandy, just 19 months ago here: 19,000 killed, 500+ of them children, 230,000 vehicles destroyed, 45,000 building destroyed and $300Billion in damages. Hardly a loaf a bread touched, nor a box of cup ramen noodles.
These people (look who I am calling people) should be shot on the spot period!
My, my....I guess the TV networks have more fun standing in the water and reporting old news than telling storm victims that marauders are out stealing from the victims. Disgusting.
In Houston after Hurricane Ike, looters were told they would be shot on sight by order of Gov. Perry. There was no looting.
The Obama-butt kissing media in Florida isn't reporting any of this...they are ONLY reporting how WONDERFUL Obama is doing.
A lttle 2nd amendment, castle doctrine, throw in some stand your ground laws and this problem goes away pretty quickly.
True, that. Watch for this story to be covered up. CNN, BSNBC, etc. won't be out there filming this crazyness. Not six days before election day for you know now. It might take courageous citizen reporters risking their lives to get this on tape and to the alternative media.
Get a load of this: one of the Miami TV stations is reporting that "Bloomberg and Obama AGREED that a visit to the city by BO wasn't optimal....
Of course, the REALITY is that Bloomberg told Obama to stay away.
Well, when you disarm the citizens you can kind of expect this kind of BS.
Remember the Korean merchants during the R King Olympics?
After pleas for help were either ignored or denied, they took matters in their own hands.
Don't think they really shot (killed) all that many BUT once they armed themselves etc the 'revelers' found other UNARMED targets.
When the animals leave the confines of their own neighborhoods is when the 'bloodbaths' will start, but when they get that stupid, the rest of the sheeples will be 'dumbed' down enough to do nothing.
There are no shortage of guns in that area. A lot of cops call that area home.
Why aren't armed citizens blowing away the looters?
Oh, it's liberal New York. Never mind.
Hey, you stealing the lamp. Don't forget the shade. Want a beer to drink on the drive home?
Now I wonder what political persuasion all the rioters endorse...
Guns are evil in NYC. Just ask the majority of the NYC electorate who keep voting for anti-gun fanatics. Self devense and defense of your property are serious crimes in NY and self defence with a gun is probably the worst crime you can commit there - just ask Bernard Goetz.
Bull Moose Party??
They were probably doing a bit of "collecting evidence" themselves.
What happened to "A disaster always brings out the best of human nature?" In actuality it brings out the best and the worst.
Obama's people.
Have you been having a lot of Romney/Ryan signs being stolen in your neighborhood? We have where we are in Miami. Interesting that the ones stolen have been at houses near a local elementary school. Houses with signs farther away have not by and large had a problem (And I don't think it's the kids doing it.)
Next you will hear from the politicians with a clear answer and solution for this problem..............confiscate all guns from law abiding citizens so it will make it easier for the criminals
You don't have a welfare class there who have a bone deep sense of entitlement - that is they feel entitled to other peoples' goods and money as supported by our government. These looters were just cutting out the middle man.
They're beginning the prep to get the country to ask how we can have elections when a very populous part of the country is in chaos. Rush has pointed out that the POTUS can't do anything about it Constitutionally. The only thing he could do is.....declare martial law, which puts the Constitution on hold, if I understand correctly. The looting would add another dimension to try to justify the martial law that some of us were suggesting 3 years ago could be the game plan if Obama thought he wouldn't win a re-election.
At that time we were also asking how the military would go if they were asked to fire upon and suppress patriotic America in a martial law situation. This is where Obama's Benghazi screw-up may end up hurting Obama a LOT - because after Tyrone Woods' heroism and Obama throwing out the military's whole foundational premise that we "leave no man behind", I would not want to be Obama asking the US military to "have his back" now, over, above, and against the Constitution.
The mechanics are all in place for the scheme to work. But I have a feeling that if Obama tries to run this machine he's going to find a lot of cogs that are too bent out of shape to go along with it.
interesting take
"A disaster always brings out the worst of human nature."
...don't lump me or anyone I know or associate with into this "human nature" BS. "Sub human nature" is more like it. From what I can see it's a whole army of "Obama phone" miscreants.
I wonder if Obama will use his recently enacted doctrine of food and materials confiscation in a disaster scenario, redistribution in effect.
All eyes are on Obama and what he says and does, millions wish for him to be a leader and even more millions wish for him to just STFU and stay out of the way of real leaders and heroes.
Maybe it was just Democrat early voting.
Close. First and third words are correct.
This isn't "looting" as the term is normally understood - gangs of disorganized scavengers smashing into stores and emptying them. These are small crews of seasoned stickup men taking advantage of stretched police resources. Some of these crews are even dressing as police and fire.
I have a clear solution...
Looters will be shot dead and their bodies hung from trees and light poles as a reminder to the disgusting vermin that their moral decay will cost them everything, should they choose to exercise their morally corrupt behavior.
Anyone willing to steal things from people during this time of crisis should be wiped off the earth. Few things disgust me more. Having been through two major disasters like this, the last thing you want to worry about is Lootie and Friends digging through your stuff looking for freebies.
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York...
Sanity left the country a long time ago.
Rudy's gone....... The progressive rules. He's not Christian
You are right, these are not merely looters, these folks can actually be defined as terrorists in a manner since they are using means and ways far beyond the normal definition of looting.
I can just imagine vigilantes having firefights with armed faked firemen or utility workers, surely primetime cinema drama even thinking of the situation.
Talk about nightmares.
Here in Louisiana, the governor issued a soot to kill order after Katrina.
You know how to keep looters out of your store?
Leave one hanging at the front door.
We will not tolerate these scumbags looting. We will arrest them on sight, said a police source.
"Arrest them on site...." I thouyght the rule was "...Looters will be shot on site ..."
Sanity left the
country northeast a long time ago - in the late 1800s near as I can tell, and the last vestiges left in 1920.
Oh, the NY "some are more equal than others" crowd...
I don't think extending the voting would help him. There are records regarding Benghazi that will need to be coming out, and he can't suppress that story for long.

Wall Street memo to President Obama: Here are five things you can do to make investors happy, boost confidence and get the markets and economy moving again.
NEW YORK – It appears that Wall Street really did prefer the more business-friendly Mitt Romney to manage the economy from a desk in the White House.
An Obama stock market "bounce" never materialized after his re-election. Stocks, instead, fell with a thunderous thud Wednesday on news that the president, who gets low grades from investors on his business acumen, will be in charge of USA Inc. for another four years.
"There was a general view in the market that a Romney win would be more favorable to stocks," says John Praveen, chief investment strategist at Prudential International Investment Advisors. Many investors had apparently held out hope for a Mitt Romney victory.
DON'T PANIC: What should investors do now?
MARKETS: Deep post-election selling hits all sectors
With the ink barely dry on Obama's upbeat acceptance speech, the mind-set of Wall Street investors took a quick, downbeat, bearish turn. It was as if investors all hit a button at the same time that switched the market into worry-only mode, erasing any positive market-related vibes that might have existed a day earlier.
Fear that the nation's fiscal crisis would not be resolved in time to avoid falling off the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff intensified, as did fears that chronic uncertainty would infect the market through year's end.
Worries that Obama's plans to increase taxes on both capital gains and dividends would reduce investor appetite for stocks – and even spark selling before the tax bite kicks in -- also took hold.
Stocks that would be hurt by Obama's preference for stiff regulations, such as banks, sold off sharply. And to make matters worse Wednesday, worries about Europe's debt crisis returned to the top of investors' what-to-worry-about list.
Add it all up and what you get is a "Molotov cocktail that created a pretty severe bout of selling," says Andy Busch, a public policy strategist at BMO Capital Markets.
To say the negative mood hurt stocks would be an understatement, as Wall Street was awash in red ink all day. The damage inflicted was severe. About $400 billion in stock market value vanished in the trading session, according to Wilshire Associates.
The Dow Jones industrial average suffered its worst point drop since last November, plunging 313 points, or 2.4%, to 12,933. It was the fifth-worst drop following an Election Day since 1900, Bespoke Investment Group says. The biggest loss following a presidential election was four years ago when the Dow tumbled 5% after Obama won his first term in office.
Despite the down session, the Dow remains up nearly 6% for the year. The gains have been powered by an easy-money policy from the Federal Reserve, a housing comeback and resilient consumers who are keeping the economy growing.
There were no shortage of theories on Wall Street as to why the market reaction was so violently negative.
Garnering the most blame was the belief that the status quo election result -- with Obama holding on to his job and the Democrats retaining power in the Senate and the Republicans protecting their turf in the House of Representatives -- will translate into legislative gridlock that could jeopardize a deal getting done in Congress by year's end to avert the fiscal cliff.
"While both presidential candidates were silent about the fiscal cliff during the debates and the election season, it is now the No. 1 issue facing investors," says Barbara Novick, head of government relations for money management firm BlackRock.
President Obama's re-election is unlikely to have a significant impact on the political gridlock in Washington, and the so-called fiscal cliff issues are unlikely to vanish, says political analyst Danny Hayes. (Nov. 7)
The fiscal cliff is the term to describe the growth-killing impact of more than $600 billion in coming tax increases and government spending cuts on Jan. 1 unless Congress acts to avert it.
While gridlock is often considered bullish for stocks, because it makes it tough for one political party to push through its own agenda with little opposition, it is viewed as a negative now because many believe the economy will likely fall into recession early next year if the fiscal cliff is not resolved. And a recession spells trouble for corporate earnings, business confidence and stock prices.
Sure, the election ended one big uncertainty for the stock market. Investors now know that it will be operating under well-known Obama policies. The president wants to tax the wealthy to help pay down the deficit, impose more regulations on banks and other industries and continue to fund his health care law.
IMPACT: What exactly could happen to taxes, federal spending
But the fiscal cliff is the latest uncertainty to undermine investor confidence.
"Markets are none the wiser about if, how and when Congress will deal with the colossal tightening in fiscal policy scheduled to occur early next year," Julian Jessop, an analyst at Capital Economics in London, told clients in a research note.
Other reasons cited for Wednesday's market swoon include fears that Obama's plan to increase taxes on stock capital gains and dividends will reduce demand for stocks, as investors' after-tax returns will shrink as a result. Many investors are probably already selling to avoid paying the higher tax rates, says Busch of BMO Capital Markets.
Lingering disappointment that Romney didn't pull off the upset also likely sparked some selling, adds Chris Verrone, an analyst at Strategas Research Partners. "The market was probably holding out some hope that Romney had a shot," he says.
News trickling out of Europe Wednesday that suggested the eurozone would be stuck in an even deeper economic slump this year than expected also hurt sentiment as it means slower growth ahead, adds Praveen.
So what will it take for Obama to get back in Wall Street's good graces? Here are five things Wall Street pros interviewed by USA TODAY said Obama can do to promote a better market environment and get stocks moving north again.
Wall Street's five-step to-do list for President Obama:
1. Get a fiscal cliff deal done. Failure to broker a deal means a recession is imminent. And that's bad news for U.S. investors, workers and employers. Letting the Bush tax cuts expire alone will take $127 billion out of the pockets of Americans. "Failure to avoid the fiscal cliff," says Praveen, "will damage the economy and investor confidence."
"No deal," Novick says, "means a tax hike for millions."
Optimists on Wall Street say there is enough at stake and enough incentive on the part of Obama and lawmakers to broker a deal, even if it comes at the 11th hour or simply limits the full impact.
"Shaving the fiscal cliff to a bump can make it easier to overcome," says Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.
2. Extend an olive branch to Republicans. It will take negotiation on the part of Obama to cement a much-hoped-for "grand bargain" with Republicans needed to make the long-term fixes to tax policy, entitlements and deficit reduction that will put the U.S. economy on a sustainable path, adds Praveen.
While such a grand bargain is unlikely to come this year due to a lack of time, Wall Street would like to see the president moving in that direction, adds Novick.
3. Roll back onerous regulations. Stiff regulations imposed on banks, oil exploration companies and coal companies by Obama are crimping economic growth, corporate profitability and business opportunities in these industries, says George Schwartz, president of both Schwartz Investment Counsel and the Ave Marie Mutual Funds.
"He's got to roll back the regulations if he wants to create jobs, boost the economy and help generate wealth," he says.
4. Come up with credible plan to boost hiring. The economy is growing at a subpar 2% pace and the unemployment rate is still near 8%. That's not good enough, says Praveen. "Obama has to figure out creative ways to stimulate the economy," he says. Jobs programs would help. Easing regulations will also help. As will giving CEOs the confidence to invest. "He needs to be a little more pro-business," adds Praveen.
5. Rethink higher taxes on stock gains. If Obama allows the Bush tax cuts to expire and rates on capital gains rise from 15% to 20% and dividend income goes from 15% to the higher individual tax rates, it will reduce the attractiveness of stocks, says Busch. "By hiking rates on stock gains you are basically incentivizing investors to sell now to avoid paying the higher tax rate next year," he says.
There is one big thing that can go right for stocks. The biggest, of course, is if the fiscal cliff gets resolved, says Peter Hayes, head of BlackRock's municipal bond group.
"When the market sniffs out a possible compromise on the cliff and they see no big hit to the economy, you will see a gradual move back into risk assets like stocks," he says.

Details: ebook, depending on form, page count may be different. Mine was 171 pgs (but I think closer to 300 regular pgs)
Published: July 2010
Reading Level: Adult
Received from: Won in a contest
Dulcie O'Neil is a fairy. And not the type to frolic in gardens. She's a Regulator—a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world.
I was a little surprised she was fairy because she seemed very human to me. But as I read I discovered why. However she did have magic and it was with fairy dust! I loved that!
He's also stubborn, and headstrong, but very kick ass!
The mystery in the story wasn't predictable. It was interesting watching the twists and turns and see where things went. I couldn't say that Dulcie was completely unpredictable, she was a headstrong character, so it's usually pretty easy to see where their decisions will take them. But that definitely wasn't a negative to the story.
Things are definitely left open for future books and I really can't wait to see where things go. I just hope they go somewhere and we aren't strung along book after book, that's a huge downside to other books in this genre I've read and it infuriates me enough to stop the series.
I give this book 4/5 moons.
After much debating, I reached the conclusion that I couldn't change my writing—for better or worse. Then I heard about self publishing on Amazon and thought, what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Well, that was less than three months ago and I haven't looked back since. I've really been surprised and elated by the response to my books and how quickly they've taken off. Currently, they are available as e-books but I'm working on releasing the printed versions as well.
I'm also glad she stuck with what she believed in and didn't change her style. I LOVE funny fantasy and can really handle only so much dark fantasy.
A self-deprecating witch with the unique ability to reanimate the dead. A dangerously handsome warlock torn between being her boss and her would-be lover. A six hundred year old English vampire with his own agenda; one that includes an appetite for witches. The Underworld in a state of chaos. Let the games begin.
Life isn't bad for psychic Jolie Wilkins. True, she doesn't have a love life to speak of, but she has a cute house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a cat and a quirky best friend.
Enter Rand Balfour, a sinfully attractive warlock who insists she's a witch and who just might turn her life upside down. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost. Jolie not only uncovers the cause of the ghost's demise but, in the process, she brings him back to life!
Word of Jolie's incredible ability to bring back the dead spreads like wildfire, putting her at the top of the Underworld's most wanted list. Consequently, she finds herself at the center of a custody battle between a villainous witch, a dangerous but oh-so-sexy vampire, and her warlock boss, Rand.
There will be two winners. First person drawn gets first choice.

Inno Setup  5.1.12
* Fix: On Windows Vista, attempting to expand a shell folder constant that mapped to the root directory of a drive would fail with an error message. This was due to a bug in Vista's SHGetFolderPath API. A workaround for the problem has been implemented.
* On Browse dialogs, the BrowseDialogLabel message text may now span multiple lines.
* The OnlyOnThisPlatform message is no longer used. Now, when a Windows 95/98/Me user attempts to run an installation with a MinVersion setting that blocks installation on non-NT platforms, Setup will display the WinVersionTooLowError message, which is a bit more helpful as it mentions the required version number.

The Master's Legacy
If a theory can't explain the mysteries of the past, it has little chance to explain the mysteries of the present and future.
Tobi's true identity...
Could it be Uchiha Shisui.
Now as per the manga he is currently dead however...
If Tobi turned out to be a random ninja who had never appeared before then that would be a major fail for the story, but we actually know alot about Shisui.
1) His sharingan powers were said to be at least equal to that of Itachi's and when it came to genjutsu he was clearly superior.
2) Itachi said that Shisui was a "good guy" but it is possible that he got his genjutsu claws into Itachi as well.
3) Shisui was the ninja in the Uchiha clan that was willing to do any mission for the clan for eg. taking control of the 4th Mizukage and causing a bloody civil war in the hidden mist village.
This types of missions could also have made him completly cynical and Danzo-like but only caring about himself and not any village.
4) Shisui's right sharigan eye and arm were taken by Danzo, is it a coincidence that Tobi has only one sharingan eye and a detachable arm (see fight versus Fu and Torune).
5) Shisui's genjutsu kotoamatsukami can control a person without them realizing it, having such a megalomaniacal power means that shisui is a good candidate for ultimate villain.He is probably a refererence to the elder son of the SoT6P who belived that power is all.
6) One problem is that Shisui gave his other eye to Itachi before "vanishing all traces of himself", I belive that this was his plan all along (as shown after the battle with Danzo he has lot of sharingans at his disposal). He played on Itachis's feelings just the way the top brass of Konoha did so that Itachi wouldn't look to deeply into his "vanishing" thinking him to be a loyal konoha ninja.
I feel that he faked his 'death' was basically to give him the freedom to roam around as Tobi.
I could be wrong but I feel that the evidence points towards Shisui as no other Uchiha has been given enough story time to make them a credible Tobi
this why would shisui give itachi an EMS eye with a genjutsu inprinted in it to protect konoha, as it was only shisui that could do it that wouldnt make much choice. personally i think it is that older son of the SO6P atm, it would certainly explain why he knew about the juubi when no other did, having been raised with the stories about his father's exploits.
I must disagree with this Theory because You have provided no actual Evidence that Shisui is Tobi, and you contradicted your own points:
For example Point (4) contradicted by point (6)
4...." Shisui's right sharigan eye and arm were taken by Danzo, is it a coincidence that Tobi has only one sharingan eye and a detachable arm (see fight versus Fu and Torune). "
6...." One problem is that Shisui gave his other eye to Itachi before "vanishing all traces of himself"
Question: Why bother Using Tobi's one eye as evidence that he is Shisui, if you're going to show that Shisui ended up eyeless, and not one eyed.
Besides, Tobi has and always had TWO eyes, not one.
The Whole eye thing didn't illustrate anything, or serve as evidence for anything.
Again, If Tobi is Shisui, why would he give up the most powerful Genjutsu eyes in all Uchiha, only to replace them with inferior eyes from an eye Bank?
Again, Saying That All traces of Shisui Vanished is False. For one thing, The Uchiha elders knew he drowned, therefore they had a drowned body. And again, Danzo retrieved his eye and his arm. You can't get an arm from someone who vanished. If Kabuto couldn't find Shisui's body, it is because Danzo's Root had it last, and probably disposed of the remains.
Also, Tobi has 2 detachable arms, not one. Both his arms are detachable.
Left arm detaches here:
Right arm Detaches here:
In order to have a good theory on Tobi, you have to take his detachable parts into consideration, and demonstrate why he claims to be Madara, and why his goals are identical to Madara's.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I still think Tobi has to either be at least some form of Madara (he is capable of summoning the Kyuubi just as Edo Madara is), or the SO6P oldest son.
I have no reason as to why it could be the latter, but one theory I have is the SO6P elder son somehow sealed himself within the Uchiha stone tablet (possibly to wait out his brother's time as his father's Successor), and once Madara unlocked the Rinnegan and was capable of reading the last part of the tablet, he was able to release the seal. I have no manga proof at all, just a theory I'm satisfied with.
Hadn't thought of it like that...looks like i need to read (study) the manga more LOL
Uchiha Izuna (Madara's brother) might be a good bet i suppose. Anyway whoever it is hopefully the epic reveal isn't too many weeks away
Lunchroomclassic : Re the SO6P's oldest son wouldn't he be around a few hundred years+ old , I mean Oonoki himself is probaly around 100 years old.
The thing is, did Madara survive the battle with Hashirama or not? Then why does Edo Madara look all young and fresh? I believe life/body is Yang chakra. And Tobi is the remains of Madara splitting his Yin and Yang chakra, leaving Tobi with the mind of Madara, in either the remains of the original body, or with repaired Zetsu parts. Or even completely Zetsu.
Did Madara actually somehow die after the battle after all? De he use Izanagi to rewind death even as early as during their fight? Cause this is where is all might fall over, if you need both sons of so6p DNA to perform Izanagi, he couldn't have done it to cheat death at that time.
But Tobi said to Konan that the so6p combined the jin(mind) and Yang(life) to create life from nothingness. But that was to create actual life. Madara could have used an incomplete form Izanagi to cheat death. Think about it, he would only need to manipulate reality, not creating life. Leaving him helpless and crippled, reduced eye powers, probably lost one due to the Izanagi. And then became Tobi, a shell of Madara's former self. So he crawled to his hideout, started working on the Hashirama tree, repaired himself, thus getting Senju's dna. Met with Itachi and took loads of eyes from the massacre, used those eyes for himself and then used Izanagi to create Zetsu. But is Tobi Madara's actual remains or a Zetsu? Doesn't really matter, he's still only half of Madara.
You are asking some really good questions, and I have also been thinking along similar lines. Here are my current thoughts.
1) Before the Battle with Hashirama Madara had Created/prepared a plantlike proto-Zetsu( The Black Zetsu, perhaps?), that only Lacked Hashirama's DNA to become a (White) Zetsu.
2) Madara Split a part of HIS CHAKRA, part of his soul, and his mental energy inside his EMS Sharingans.
3) Madara arranged for the Proto-Zetsu (Black Zetsu?), to recieve or take his (Madara's) Sharingans, Along with Hashirama's DNA.
4) Madara's Body then Died at the Battle with Hashirama at VOTE
5) Hashirama's DNA + Black Zetsu = White Zetsu
6) A White Zetsu was Given Madara's Sharingan , thereby getting his CHAKRA, and his mental energy.
7)White Zetsu Madara Awoke the Rinnegan inside (the original TOBI), but then his Chakra started to fade, being taxed by the Rinnegan or GM.
8) Madara Realized he Needed an Uzumaki (probably started the war to destroty the Uzumaki village) to awaken the Rinnegan again, Gather the Tailed Beasts, Recreate the Juubi, Revive Madara INTO:
a) TOBI's Body: Tobi's Body is already infused with Hashirama's Cells, all it lacks are The Juubi's Chakra.
b) The Clone of Hashirama we saw at the Base of Geddou Mazou...This Clone in that Case would recieve the Juubi's Chakra and Madra's Soul.
9) Madara finally died when his remaining chakra Faded away from using the Rinnegan or using GM.
10) Tobi is Not complete (says he wants to be complete), because he is Madara's Mental energy, lacking his soul, or his Chakra. Tobi is No One (says he is no one), because he used to posses Madara's Chakra and part of his soul, but now he's just got his memories and mental energy.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Yeah I agree, something along these lines must be the case. I've even taken notice to Tobi's eye(s) and especially the shape of his eye and the lines under them. Looks a lot like Madara if you ask me.. I do believe he is the remains of Madara and not Shisui, Obito, elder son or Izuna.
I was thinking yesterday about this, why Edo Madara looks so young. And Kabuto did say he altered the body he was revived in. And revived him at his "prime". Could Kabuto have revived Madara into a younger, hashirama enchanced body? Notice Edo Madara looking under his shirt? What he saw was probably hashirama parts somehow. So he knew he could pull off Mokuton, which he happened to mention that he wanted to "try out". This indicated that he never used Mokuton before his actual death. But he did meet and know Nagato..
This means, Madara survived his battle with Hashirama somehow. These are the points that needs more info, HOW he survived. We saw him with swords in him, after the battle. How can anyone survive that? Unless he actually did prepare Black Zetsu before entering the battle as you say. Haha, or he COULD actually have used genjutsu on Hashirama, making it LOOK like he died. This might be the most logical thing to do actually. He entered the battle KNOWING he needed Hashirama's DNA. This means he probably did experiment on DNA before the battle. How did he know he needed Hashirama's DNA?
Well, as somebody pointed out earlier somewhere, Hashirama could do the mokuton, but how? Turns out Mokuton is the combination of Water+Earth+Light, meaning, Mokuton is creating life in a smaller scale. Notice how Naruto's chacra cloak reacts to Yamato's mokuton? I reckon Madara noticed this as well during their first battle, which he lost.
So, he started wondering and started doing research on the sons of the 6 paths, with the Uchiha tablet as main source.
Anyway, he fought Hashirama again, knowing he needed his DNA and somehow survived the battle. He obviously lost a lot of his powers after the battle, meaning he must have used some sort of strong genjutsu or Izanagi or something to survive. So he then crawled back to his hideout, started experimenting on the hashirama tree, lived therefore longer to meet Itachi (and Nagato), had Itachi kill the clan to get the Sharingans so he could perform Izanagi multiple times without risking loosing his own eyes (if he even had sharingan eyes after his battle with Hashirama).
And THEN he created Zetsu first as an experiment to see if he could get both Uchiha and Senju DNA into one being. A plant being nevertheless. And then he used Izanagi or creation of all things to actually breath life into it. He was it was working and devised. a plan.
He somehow awakened the rinnegan sometime after injecting Hashirama cells into his own body, read the tablet again, found out everything he knows about the abilities of the rinnegan. But knew at that point that he was too old and fragile. So he found Nagato, created Tobi and then right before his actual death he split his Yin chacra into Tobi, used creation of all things and gave Tobi life and the mind of his own.
This for himself must have been experienced like he died at that moment and immediatly "woke up" inside Tobi. Then he took out the eyes of his own real dead body and somehow gave those to Nagato.
Any real flaws here? This theory feels good man

His ban isn't permanent - also, there is a difference between simple "hey, check out my new site" messages between friends, and Recruitment PMs which aren't personal at all, and sent to non-friends, too. And yes, that happened, as they got reported and it obviously annoyed users, hence this announcement. It's also not just this one case, the message of this thread is quite simple and in general - just don't do it.
Personally, I think it's also quite the act of an asshole to recruit on this forum for another forum which is basically a copy, with the same sections and such... but that's just my opinion.

Skip to comments.The Greek food brawl: Hundreds fight each other for free vegetables on the streets of Athens
Posted on 02/06/2013 7:11:20 PM PST by Nachum
Hundreds of people were fighting eachother on the streets of Athens during a food giveaway, prompting an outcry over the growing desperation created by economic crisis. Farmers protesting against government cuts gave away 50 tonnes of free vegetables and fruit in the Greek capital earlier today, causing chaos in the streets as impoverished and hungry people elbowed their way to the stalls. Startling images of Greeks struggling to seize bags of tomatoes and leeks thrown from a truck outside the Agriculture Ministry have sparked further debate about poverty in the debt-ridden nation. These images make me angry.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
That worked out well I guess, lol
Hardly surprising.
This out of Greece today. 5000 national socialists turned out in a show of force. This country is spiraling from new school autocracy into old school autocracy. We will soon follow, unless we change course. Let Greece serve as a warning.
America, WAKE UP to the reality of what happens when individuals/nations live beyond their means and encounter the day of (financial) reckoning!
(the day of SPIRITUAL reckoning is an altogether more SERIOUS matter.)
I would say this is a scene coming to America soon but it's already happened here multiple times in food stamp offices across the country.
And so goes liberalism.
They can do nothing right.
( I do not blame the Greeks. They allowed themselves to believe idiots. We are only slightly behind them. )
Should have asked paul krugman. He would have shared the secret.
Print more money.
Absolutely correct. Three generations of deficit spending to maintain a faux lifestyle not only ends this way but has squandered the capital that makes the production of wealth and prosperity possible. All of southern Europe and even France will suffer prolonged misery. Germany will not subsidize them forever and will eventually pivot to the land and resource richness of Russia.
Just the other day someone posted something about a robust barter economy having developed in Greece.
When the commodity is free... with no expectation or mutually agreed upon contractual terms of how resources are to be exchanged... what you have is basic animal nature. The guy who punches out the most competitors gets the food... and gets to mate with more females or something like that. Hahahah!
You, ultimately, have to blame the Greeks for what they did to themselves. They all got very greedy, wanting cradle to grave security without work, it's just not possible.
The inevitable collapse of socialism always surprises the true believers. But the effect soon wears off.
Pass out FREE Obama phones!
"Today is Tuesday"
Coming soon to an American city near you .... or any of the rest of us ....
As Levin always says, the collapse of the civil society is an ugly thing.
Is someone going to stop these socialists?
Then get used to it....
'Greeks With Sleek Physiques Seek Leeks'
They must not be spending enough money to buy them out of poverty..
When debt ridden........ spend more..
..."I would say this is a scene coming to America soon but its already happened here multiple times in food stamp offices across the country"...
YES! My husband works every Monday in a place that feeds the hungry. The numbers are consistent and growing. Thankfully, our small city has several places, most of them churches, where hungry people can go every day of the week to be fed. When the economy breaks down for real, the last bastion of the "rich" will reflect those who still have food. Widespread hunger will be the last gasp of civilization.
Put the blame where it belongs, Fractional Reserve Central Banking, the World Bank, the IMF and all the other Marxist organizations that have been implemented over the last 100 years.
Of note for me is that this savagery displays itself often in left wing cities. This is where the herd will be culled. The socialists and communists they voted for will slaughter them with no remorse.

These are really nice rollers and I expect they will last a long time. However, if you don't already know how to use rollers, then get ready for a steep learning curve. It will be worth it once I get the hang of them but they're pretty scary to use for the first few sessions.

A small learning curve but after about 10 minutes I felt very comfortable on them. Fairly quiet and easy to set up. Much better than stationary trainer.

Poor Customer Service
By bbmich07
from Davis, CA
I bought these rollers to improve my bike handling skills, and was very exciting to receive them; however, when I opened the box it was very evident that Nashbar had sent me used rollers. After going back and forth with customer service to try to rememdy the situation they stopped replying to my emails, and I ended up paying full price (minus shipping) for used rollers. This recent experience has definitely changed my opinion of Nashbar, and I am unlikely to use them again in the future.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I was searching for a roller trainer and stumbled across this one. I never owned a trainer before and was a little intimidated by the learning curve. Most of the people recommended the parabolic one, so I bought this with a little hesitation. Now I am glad that I made the right choice. It just took me roughly 45 minutes to get going and now there is no going back. Great product!!!I ride almost 15 Km everyday and it gives a good workout.The only con about this I would say is, it's not foldable.Overall it's a great product.
Fantastic customer service
By FastEddie
from Annapolis, MD
These replaced a set of much more expensive name-brand rollers that I wore out after years of use. These rollers are very well-made, particularly the drums. Smooth and relatively quiet. They are narrower than my previous set and so require even more vigilance to keep yourself centered (start out in a doorway!) Of note, the rollers arrived with a dent in the box and a corresponding ding in the rear drum. Small, but definitely intrusive. Customer service sent out a replacement drum immediately and told me not to bother sending the damaged one back. I love the rollers and love the service!
Good Product

Good rollers

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I got these a while ago and finally used them tonight. I'm impressed. Smooth rolling, wide enough to easily stay on board. The small size of the rollers gives enough resistance to get a real workout. They do not fold up, so just lean it against a wall. I hope they last!
Best Value on Rollers anywhere
By CAT 4 Racer
from NY
I can't imagine why you would buy another brand of rollers. Well made, machined rollers on super smooth bearings. I think these are an outstanding value and I have no desire to ever buy another brand. I have found some tires will overheat and leave rubber bits on the rollers and other tires will not. You will have to experiment and find which ones work for you best. I am currently using some Continental Gatorskin tires with very good success. Keep in mind it will take you a few rides to get comfortable on rollers, so be patient.
Good training aid
By Jake the Snake
from Southeastern U.S.
Good product for the money. I have had no trouble from it so far. They take a bit getting used to (as do all rollers), but worth it after 2-3 sessions. The only downside to these rollers is that they don't fold. They can, however, be tucked under a bed and out of the way just fine. Also, they leave a silver sheen on tires. I'm not sure if it's just the newness of them or not, but as long as it doesn't affect the tires' performance then it's not really a problem.
Solid product.
By Richie T
from Grass Valley CA
Ii've owned three sets of rollers before owning this set, for the money, the set is right up there with the best.

Bill that would have legalized public handling of bear cubs was vetoed by the governor.
LANSING, Mich. — For more than 15 years, visitors to Oswald's Bear Ranch in Michigan's Upper Peninsula posed for photos feeding cereal to black bear cubs and sometimes sitting with a baby bear in their lap.
That stopped last summer when owner Dean Oswald was told the practice violated the law.
On Friday, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed changes to Michigan's Large Carnivore Act, including one that would have legalized the public handling of bear cubs at 36 weeks old — up from 20 weeks — at a handful of facilities around the state. But Snyder said in his veto letter that the bear cub piece of the two bills he vetoed is the one proposed amendment he supports.
Snyder encouraged lawmakers to send it to him as stand-alone legislation, which means the debate over bear cub photos is likely to continue.
The Humane Society of the United States said letting people handle captive bear cubs is bad for the bears and dangerous for the public.
But Oswald, who likens bear cubs to puppies, said he believes so strongly that it's safe for visitors to pose for pictures with cubs up to 9 months old that he doesn't make visitors sign a liability waiver at his ranch in Newberry, Mich.
"If I thought somebody was going to get hurt here, I wouldn't do it," said Oswald.
The bear cubs he rescues already were separated from their mothers through some crisis or misadventure, and human contact doesn't harm them, Oswald said. He said he has bottle-fed 27 of the 29 black bears that have come to his ranch.
Jill Fritz, Michigan state director of the Humane Society of the United States, said in written testimony to the House Agriculture Committee in November that "young cubs are capable of inflicting painful injuries, and by 9 months of age, a healthy black bear can weigh more than 65 pounds."
Fritz said it is "extremely stressful for bear cubs to be prematurely removed from the nurturing care of their mothers," where they may face "abusive and excessive handling." Fritz said changing the law probably would increase the number of bears in captivity and lead to "unwanted and potentially discarded adult bears."
Scott Carter, chief life sciences officer for the Detroit Zoological Society, which operates the Detroit Zoo, expressed similar concerns and said a 36-week-old bear is capable of harming someone.
Oswald said that although a few people have received minor scrapes after putting their hands in a bear cub's mouth, no one has been bitten during the time he has allowed the contact. Oswald said his son or another qualified person is always present to control the bear cub.
Since most cubs are born around January and his seasonal facility doesn't open until Memorial Day, the 20 weeks of bear cub handling allowed under federal regulations effectively shuts down all photo opportunities, he said.
"I think their track record is pretty good," said Sen. Tom Casperson, a Republican from Escanaba, Mich., who sponsored the bear cub legislation with Oswald in mind and said he would try to get it passed as a separate bill in early 2013.
Snyder supports bear-handling legislation because he feels enough precautions are in place, including trained handlers, to protect the public and the cubs, spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said Monday.
Snyder vetoed changes which would have expanded the Michigan facilities that could acquire and keep bears, tigers and other large carnivores to those accredited by the Zoological Association of America.
Currently, only facilities accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association — such as the Detroit Zoo and the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing — are eligible to acquire and keep large carnivores, though exceptions are made for animals acquired before Michigan passed a law in 2000.
Snyder said some proposed changes, such as expanding permission to keep large carnivores from exhibitors to breeders, "could lead to gaps in public health protection and animal welfare."

Sheriff: State will regret new pot law
Predicts we'll 'say it's a big mistake'
As the historic opening day of retail marijuana sales near on Wednesday, Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor doesn't see a dip in crime, the death of the black market or a greater society.
"My personal opinion, in 15 years we're all going to look back on this and say it was a big mistake," Taylor said.
High state and local sales taxes only help the black market grow, he said, and the regulatory framework established by the Legislature and county are lacking.
"Price and demand are tied together, so if you increase the price, which they'll have to do based on taxation principles, there's a school of thought it'll increase the black market," Taylor said. "The issues I think we'll find with retail sales is with the store fronts. I think they're going to have a hard time regulating those products that go out the front door verse product going out that back door. We've seen it with medical marijuana and we'll see it with retail sale."
For regulations, Taylor said intentions were "good" but "they didn't think it through."
Regarding daily operations, however, the biggest change in law enforcement will be implementing a legal driving limit for marijuana, 5 nanograms or more of THC, pot's psychoactive ingredient.
"Right now they're trying to develop some kind of instrument to measure that through breath. I think it's very difficult. As a state we're following a lot of what they do in California," Taylor said. "I don't think it helps or hinders law enforcement. We still have the same processes to go through. But it's going to determine for the courts a limit, which they didn't have before."
And like underage drinking, those 21 and younger will be ticketed for marijuana possession. Marijuana will still be considered contraband in Pueblo County jail.
The law perspective aside, Taylor sees pot legalization as impacting youth.
"When society says it's OK, you increase accessibility and affordability, you're going to increase abuse by our youth, and no amount of regulation from the state or federal government can prevent that."

Just who was Leafs' MVP this season?
Steve Lansky
April 06 2011 10:42AM
These four guys (The Rocket, Gordie, Walter and Number 99) sure know what an MVP is. On Tuesday night, just as the Maple Leafs' playoff hopes were gasping their final breath, I read a tweet that said something like, "Reimer's play since January stole Leafs' MVP crown from Mikhail Grabovski." And, of course, that got me thinking. Is that so? Who was the Leafs' MVP this season? Reimer was certainly the most popular player, and the guy most responsible for the late-season charge. But, over the entire season, who was the Leafs' MVP?
I think it's tougher to acknowledge a player as the team's most valuable if he only played half-a-season. James Reimer dressed for six games in late November, but never saw any action. Jonas Gustavsson went 2-3-1 in that stretch. Reimer made his NHL debut on December 20th, mopping up over the final 15:40 of a 6-3 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers. And you no-doubt know that he made, and won, his first NHL start, at Scotiabank Place in Kanata on New Year's Day. In his 35 games, he's 20-8-5, with a .923 sv pct and 2.52 GAA. The save percentage places him fifth among NHL netminders. He was named a game star in almost one third of his starts.
According to Leafs' goaltending coach François Allaire, Reimer will start the last two meaningless games of the season (which makes me wonder harder why the hell J-S Giguère started that key game in Florida in mid-March. I've puzzled until my puzzler was sore). But Reimer didn't play in the first three months of the Leafs' season.
With two games remaining in the Leafs' season, Phil Kessel and Clarke MacArthur hold the team lead with 62 points. Kessel had a seven-game pointless streak, then another one of five games. And we all remember the celebrated 14-game goalless streak from January 13th in Phoenix until he popped two, in Boston, on February 15th. MVPs don't do stuff like that.
By comparison, surprising Clarke MacArthur has been much more consistent. He only suffered through one four-game pointless run (Nov 26 through Dec 2). But can a player truly be a team MVP with only 62 points? Perhaps not.
Nik Kulemin (with his 30th on Tuesday v. Washington) and Mikhail Grabovski (stuck on 29 since March 29th) have both surprised with their goal scoring this season. And Grabovski's incredible run – when the team was struggling – was fascinating. Between December 6th in Washington, through January 20th v. Anaheim, Grabo had 15 goals, 6 assists in 20 games. He showed his mates what can be done on this club. Who knows, maybe that was the catalyst for the team's late-season heroics. But shouldn't a guy who scores 15 in 20 have more than 29 on the season? I think he should.
On the blueline, Dion Phaneuf's second half has been epic. He has a 0 rating. Think that's not a big deal? The other five current blueliners are -14 combined. And that's not counting Brett Lebda's -14 all on his own. And, don't forget, Dion missed over a month when his leg was sliced.
And I've loved the way Luke Schenn has played this season. He probably started a little stronger than he's finishing, but the guy has no quit in him…and seems genuinely p**sed when a shot by John Erskine goes in off him. Love that attitude.
I guess it's pretty clear that, without Optimus Reim, the Leafs would have been toast long ago. But I like how there are many players who stepped up this season. Makes me wish October would get here fast.
April 06 2011, 12:28PM
MVP is definitely Reimer. Without him, the Leafs would be surrendering a lottery pick to the Bruins and would have seen themselves eliminated from the playoffs back in February.
That being said, it is interesting to look at some of the other candidates. For my money, Kulemin has been the most consistent Leaf this year in terms of overall play. Phaneuf would also garner strong consideration for what he has done. Makes one wonder what could have been if he didn't get sliced open back in November.
My vote for Leafs MVTP(most valuable team player)? Burkie. That son of a gun actually did it. I thought he had ruined the Leafs for a decade by unstocking the cupboards and trying to hurry the rebuild. But here, in a single season, he simultaneously re-stocked your cupboards and made a run at the playoffs. I salute you, Burke. Well done. Colbourne, Gardiner, Aulie, and 2 firsts?. Nice looking prospects. He's not quite at Oiler levels of cupboard filling, but he's getting there, whilst still icing a decent team. Unbelievable. Things are looking up in T-Town, and I wasnt saying that at the beginning of the season, to be sure. Finishing so high up helps make that Kessel trade look not as ugly, but that was still a smear on Burkes record so far. Maybe the only one though.
