Chapter 471 is already out, now let's predict everything for the next one!!
This was really good, but seeing the last page, the next week we're gonna have an incredible Mugiwara vs Oz fight! And what will happen between Nami and Lola...? What about Perona...?
Please, do not post here any spoiler about the next chapter here, go to the One Piece Spoilers forum for that.
Last edited by damnz; 09-25-2007 at 10:50 PM.
Hmm. Brook didn't stand up with the rest of the crew when they're getting up to face Oz again.... Perhaps this is foreshadowing that he actually won't join? Maybe it's just because he isn't a part of the crew yet, or maybe I'm just reading into it way too much.
Song covers by a Pirate:
Can't Find My Way Home - Generator - Brokedown Palace - Subhuman
did sanji and zoro get their shadows back after robin tricked their zombies into jumping off a cliff?
Lol I think it would be funny if right when Oz and Moria get defeated and the mugiwaras are fleeing, perona hops on their ship because she wants to escape with some loot like she said she would in this ch, and the mugiwaras hop on too and find her on their ship.
Man, the last part of this chapter is soo cool....can't wait to see the fight!!!
Finally, Zoro puts his bandana on.
yeah. that Perona trying to escape is suspicious... she may end up joining..
i think it will be a combo attack
last hit will be given by franky i think
cos his weapon is the largest?
lol nt sure
bt quite disapppointing
as i waited for 2 wks juz to wait for another wk for the excitment to start?
I expect Zoro and Sanji to give Oz the biggest beating of his life. Now both of them are seriously pissed off and Franky is quite strong as well so Oz will surely go down. Perona might join them but I doubt it, she doesn't really have any fighting skills.

Hair and last Panel are awesome, the Rasengan looks like shit.
(But srsly, the heck happened to the inside of konohamaru's mouth? I vote for v2 )

I like it. I think you did a good job.
But I think you made his Rasengan look too big. It shouldn't be inpressive looking XD

Very beautiful. The light of the Rasengan looks magical.

Spoiler!Panda Fact 1:99% of a pandas diet is bamboo.
Panda Fact 2:In China they call the Panda "Xiongmao", which means Giant Cat Bear.
Panda Fact 3:Don't mess with The Panda -_-
Panda Fact 4: Giant Pandas can spend up to 16 hours a days eating.
Panda Fact 5:A panda gives birth to twins 45% of the time but in wild can only look after one baby so one usually die.
K, so I just watched it on my good screen, it looks quite awesome.
Dunno why you dislike the hair shading that much, it still looks better than
most of your older work, though I agree that you could've done a better job
with that new shading technique <_<
And about the last panel... well, still much better than what you used to do in such
situations in the past....(only coloring half of the page). And you made it look
quite acceptable, I can still enjoy the page as a whole.
Well done.
Awesome you genius
The rasengan is bigger than in the Manga somehow.
Woah! That's awesome!
I love your style...

^ Hmmmmm, when there is a number on the ark, it opens one of the doors in the ark dimension, that allows coming in and out. Basically, Allen gives one of the doors a standard destination, with can later be used. On the other hand, when there is an "?" mark, it means that it's only a one way door, that will will disapear after passing through (that's why the ark shatters). It's possible that one destination may not be ever usable, after ark being shattered.
Road dissapeared before ? Damn, had forgotten about that ;P(though, did it look the same way ? I tought that she just turns in to a doll.). Now that I think about Road's powers, it seems to be a prototype of the arc, or more of a advanced version, with own mind and will ?

Doctors Consider a Last Best Hope for Obese Teenagers: Surgery

The total protein test measures the total amount of two classes of proteins found in the fluid portion of your blood. These are albumin and globulin.
Proteins are important parts of all cells and tissues.
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.
This test is often done to diagnose nutritional problems, kidney disease or liver disease.
If total protein is abnormal, you will need to have more tests will need to be done to look for the exact cause of the problem.
The normal range is 6.0 to 8.3 gm/dL (grams per deciliter).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to:
Lower-than-normal levels may be due to:

Skip to comments.Charles Barkley calls Conservatives "Fake Christians"
Posted on 02/15/2008 2:43:00 PM PST by Dallas
Click Link Above
I'm not Christian, but it sounds to me like Charles is being somewhat hypocritical himself. He's making a pretty big leap to judgment himself, judging those he accuses of judging others.
Ole Chuck goes running back to the plantation. A liberal moonbat and hateful, judgmental bigot. He thinks the rodents will give him the nomination for AL Governor in 2014. I hope they do so we can crush him like a bug.
I always thought he was dumb as rocks
he ain't magic
It's coming, and Mike Huckabee is making sure it happens a heck of a lot sooner by bastardizing Christianity for political expediency.
He was mugged by liberal [un]reality.
By the time he runs AlaBAMA may be O BAMA land too. This liberal appeal is contagious.
His playing days (and his final chance to win a championship ring) are long gone. Now Chuckie gets paid to analyze games and joke around.
He mentioned a few years back he was interested in running for governor of Alabama. Haven't heard him talk about it in a while though.
I don't think much of him except, when on David Letterman he was talking about running for Governor of Alabama someday. He actually said something like "it's not like you could mess up Alabama any more". I thought that was pretty funny, but otherwise he's an idiot.
Gee, left-wingers are so tolerant!/s
Chuckie should stick to what he knows...basketball & eating! LMAO
"Im sure Barkley isnt gay, but he would probably love to have 3 or 4 sixteen-year-old wives."
I remember once when he and Danny Ainge were playing together, he told Ainge how much he admired Ainge for being faithful to his wife, then said, "I wish I could be faithful to my wife and my girlfriend."
That is a cruel and dishonest charge.
Do you honestly believe that all his remarks about Christianity and God, etc. don't have the MSM and liberals licking their chops? If not, then you are not living in reality.
Its bad enough to be a Christian and have the hate and lies spewed at you. But when a false preacher jumps up and uses his faith as a selling feature in a political campaign, ALL Christians pay for the tomfoolery.
There is a difference between living your faith, and pimping it.
Mike is a pimp.
Shut your mouth and play basketball.
Wow! That is simply horrible and cruel and dishonest. I'm sorry that Huckabee is not sufficiently ashamed of his faith in God for your taste. Your charges against him are completely false, without merit, and exceedingly cruel.
Barkley's just another THUG who excels in sports...like Vick and OJ.
I most heartily agree with that statement!
I won't be surprised it will start with the "false Christians" calling the real Christians, false. Satan loves slander.
Christians should not get upset when people bash them. You will be hated as Jesus was hated, because you wont compromise your beliefs anymore. Christians know that God is still on the throne and will answer for their votes, especially when a candidate is a proven liar.
Rejoice when man condemns you. satan gets angry (no Im not calling anyone on this forum satan) when Christians refuse to go with the flow and stand fast in the word.
Resist the temptation to strike back in anger when someone offends you. Bless those who hate you. Rejoice in the lord because you are Gods children. Pray and fast with all your heart and wait upon the lord to remove us from this earthly battle. You have read the end of the book and know that WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.
Why don't you go and read for yourself what Huckabee has said during his campaign.
The dems have the best spokespeople. Barkley couldn't be the governor of a whore house. Another expert on Christianity. Notice how Christian hating Wolf Blintzen delighted in the broad, sweeping, bigoted, anti-Christian generalizations made by the great philosopher Charles Barkley. True people of faith beware and get active, persecution always follows this kind open, public bigotry. There is nothing as despicable and common as that man who bites the hand that freed him. The poor Christian missionaries who taught the savage to read and write and pray and the Christian abolitionists who gave life and limb to set the captives free have clearly died in vain. Liberalism is a hateful and dangerous mental disorder.
"Don't You Be Judging Me !! No Matter How Immoral You Think My Behavior Is!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've personally heard a number of conservative Christians call liberal Christians "fake" Christians. Who cares?
Charles is simply an idiot.
As bad as being a fake basketball player, Chuck?
There's a lot of truth in what you said. When I tell people I'm a conservative, they immediately start wanting to argue about the specifics Biblical scripture, as if that has anything to do with a small government philosophy.
Turrible, just Turrible.
He's a knucklehead.
The abortion movement, the adultery movement, the homosexual movement, the get-rid-of-God movement, the government forced liberal indoctrination movement, the soft on crime movement and the socialism movement are all liberal movements.
These have all been pushed down our throats by liberals.
I recall Barkley claiming that he had been misquoted in his autobiography.
He hammers on the Phoenix Suns way more than anyone else. Even though he still lives in Phoenix, he still holds a grudge against the team because late in his career, they traded him ... OhMaGawd!!!!! Somebody in professional sports was traded to another team!! How rude, and well ... unprofessional!!
What a nimrod this clown is!
Actually, I used to wake up every morning pondering just what Charles Barkley thinks about me.
I was deeply concerned about what his political position are
Now that I finally know, I can sleep much better now at at night knowing that a former loudmouth NBA jailbird "I am not a role model" has to say.
< / deep sarcasm >
Barkley; a racist who knows how to play stupid white people...all the way to the bank.
Who cares what this turd thinks?
Chuck has become so "open-minded" that his brains have fallen out.
You know it's coming. It's been building for years.
I wouldn't expect less from an evil people that would slaughter a million babies a year.
If he calls conservatives "fake Christians" and says that they make him sick to his stomach, does that make him "judgemental" and "intolerant"??
Good luck with that governor's race in Alabama, Chuck! Make sure that you spend lots and lots of your money on damage control. Fortunately, you've got 7 years to patch things up with those "fake Christians".

The first time I wore them I got a compliment from a young hairstylist (and I am far from young!). I wear an 8 W when I can find them and these are 8M and work just fine. I wore them all day the first time out and didn't have a problem between my toes or anywhere. The red is a nice shade. I may order these in the gold next!"

Research Summary
Our goal is to establish an understanding of the molecular and neuronal circuits that are responsible for controlling reward-related behavior. We seek to define brain mechanisms that regulate eating and are important in the development of obesity. Dysfunction of these appetitive behaviors also contributes to related pathological states, such as eating disorders, drug addiction, and depression. We are identifying critical molecules and neural circuitry that connect metabolic signals to behavioral output. Projects in the lab are aimed at better defining the molecular and neural mechanisms that integrate the hypothalamus and peripheral metabolic signals with brain regions that drive, and control, motivated behavior. In addition, the lab is active in developing tools that facilitate efforts to better understand the molecular and cellular basis of neural plasticity and animal behavior.

Extensive Research Description
Broadly, our research seeks to define the molecular and neural basis of behavior. Most of the work focussed on neurocircuitry underlying responses to natural rewards (i.e. food) as well as drugs of abuse. We investigate the regulation and integration of these circuits with the longer term goal of understanding their relevance in disease, as well as the role that these circuits played in evolution. It is notable that the motivation to ingest food, though highly adaptive during most of our natural history, has proven to be incompatible with the current state of excess food supply. Understanding the motivational systems that control feeding will give us insight into the molecular mechanisms of a complex behavior, and will ultimately serve to better define the etiology of obesity and eating disorders.
Our experiments and progress depend upon our ability to effectively manipulate genes and neurons within the adult brain neurons. We are active in developing viral and transgenic techniques for conditional genetic analysis of neural function and behavior, including the development of viral constructs that will allow for more systematic studies of gene function in the context of neural circuits. We also apply optogenetic approaches for direct analysis of neural and neural circuit function. Current work aims to extend these approaches to manipulations of neural ensembles that are activated during specific behaviors.

No Starch Press Blog
We offer our authors a choice of royalties -- from 12 to 15 percent. Most choose the 12 percent option but many still take 15 percent.
Several of our technical titles have sold well over 20,000 copies but we've also had the rare title sell in the 2-3,000 copy range. That is definitely rare and only on very niche topics.
Writing a technical book is a lot of work on both ends, especially when a publisher provides real editorial and marketing support. Unfortunately, most no longer do, which is unfortunate for all
We read and edit every word before a book goes to copyedit. I've personally spent well over 300 hours editing individual titles. If you were to hire someone to do that work the minimum cost would be $15,000.
I'd love to see more people writing technical books -- good technical books -- for love of the subject and out of a desire to share knowledge. Sure, a good book will build your brand, but make it great, first.
The world always needs more good books. Our watchwords are "fewer, better books." Aim to be great.

We had a welcome surprise the other day when we learned that The Cult of LEGO won both the Wild Card category and the Grand Prize at the 2012 San Francisco Book Festival.
The judges are book experts, and the grand prize winner is selected based on its popular appeal and the authors' passion for their story. According to the Festival organizers, "The book's impressive scope and its fascinating coverage of a world that touches millions won over the judges."
We've been really pleased with the success of The Cult of LEGO, and it's rewarding to see that book people like it, too. Well, maybe book people are LEGO people. Who knows.
Here's to playing with plastic bricks. More to come.
Here we go again. First it was the DMCA. Now it's SOPA, and this time it's probably worse.
I get it: There are many sites based in countries like Russia and China that have made it their business to sell pirated content. Honestly, I'm not that bothered by sites that deliver pirated content for free to people who are going to pirate it anyway, but I do have a real problem with sites that sell our content (or anyone else's) and take all of the revenue for themselves. Having read the Act in its entirety, I think SOPA was probably designed to combat these sorts of sites.
The problem, though, is that SOPA is simply too broad. Whack-A-Mole doesn't solve anything. Through SOPA, legislators have tried to create a law to protect the flow of digital information—a challenge that simply can't be tackled without undue risk to all of the things that we enjoy about Internet freedom. Legislation like SOPA is not the answer.
As a businessman I can see why people find SOPA attractive. Many publishers are afraid of technology because they think that piracy will eat away at their content sales. Couple these fears with an economic downturn that's worse than any we've seen and you end up with an act like SOPA. Build a wall to protect your financial interests and anyone who comes near will be shut down with a volley of arrows. That will fix the problem, right? Wrong.
SOPA is trying to solve a real problem, but it's like dumping a water tower on a burning trash bin. You put out the fire, but you flood the neighborhood. No Starch Press is against SOPA, and we encourage other publishers to trust their readers, as we do. Do the right job, focus on quality, and give your readers what they want and deserve. They'll return the favor by supporting you.
If we, as content producers, would spend more time producing great content and treating our readers fairly, rather than trying to whack every mole, we'd all be better off.

5. Cleaner code
Dear Readers,
We've been having some internal discussion about how to price our ebooks.
Let's face it. We're already in the bittorrent library but membership in that not-so-exclusive club isn't really the way to fuel a business.
Most technical book publishers are offering ebooks at anywhere from 60-80 percent of a book's list price. We've toyed with (and we're currently offering) ebooks at 50 percent of a book's list price (or free with purchase from us), which seems fair to me as long as we and our authors are actually getting that 50 percent. The problem, if it is a problem, is that when our ebooks are sold through retailers those retailers take a significant cut off the top because they need to make money too. As a result, we get something closer to 35 or 40 percent of a book's list price, if not less.
It takes time and real work to create the sort of quality, handcrafted books that No Starch Press is known for. Our readers expect a lot from us and we aim to deliver with each publication. It's important to me that No Starch Press continue to succeed.
So my question to you is, what do you think is a fair price for an ebook? Figure that the print cost is perhaps 10 percent of the book's list price and that when we sell books to resellers we get about 50 percent of the book's list price. (That's why 50 percent off list for ebooks purchased directly from us could make sense.)
So I'm turning to you, our readers, to tell me what you think and to offer creative suggestions. We could, for example, price ebooks according to a timed reduction scheme. For example, they might start out at 75 percent of list price and drop in price every six months, as a particular book ages. Or we could stick with 50 percent off for those No Starch Press VIPs. You know, the ones carrying those special gold cards. Or what?
What do you think?
Please share your comments on this post. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for your support.
A friend loaned me an Android phone the other day. I've been using a Blackberry Pearl for years. I like the squished keyboard and I can type pretty quickly on it. I've downloaded some useful apps to it too, though mostly I just use Opera for browsing and read the New York Times. It works.
Now, let me just say that I haven't used an iPhone for any period of time so I can't compare its OS to that of Android, but Android is pretty fun. This phone (an HTC running Android 1.5) is a device first and a phone second. It's just as interesting without cell service as it is with service, though of course it's nice when it works as a phone.
My favorite toys so far are probably the AK-47 and shotgun apps, though we know they're a complete waste of time. I love accelerometers and I think these simple toys that use the accelerometer in such clever ways are just brilliant. Oh, I know that there are plenty of copycats out there but I don't care. They're just plain fun. I can't wait to give them a try in the TSA line.
The barcode scanners look awesome but I haven't been able to try one IRL because I don't have a data connection. I can see how they might come in very handy though.
Touchscreens are pretty awesome but I'm not one to be a first adopter. I don't need a touchscreen to do what I do with a phone, but they're fun to play with. Don't you just want to reach inside the phone and grab that sliding screen? I do. But I don't like typing on that virtual keyboard. (Yes, the Droid has a real keyboard. I'll check it out.)
I've found the initial experience with Android kind of overwhelming. There's so much to be done with it, and downloading countless apps can be fun. But at the same time, there are many computer games out there that I won't play because they just waste my time. Don't we have better things to do?
Yes, I'm about 75 million people late when it comes to using a phone with a touch screen, or maybe it's 150 million. But then again I'm just now watching Seinfeld, and only because it passes the time on the exercise bike to nowhere.
Clearly, Android has legs. I don't need to tell you that. Just imagine what the device world will look like in a couple of years.
Here's looking forward to our first Android book. Coming to a bookstore near you. Or maybe coming to your little handheld device thingy.
For now, I'll keep the Blackberry, though my 1985 Volvo is going. It failed the smog test so the State of California will presumably buy it for $1,000. Sniff.
I've shared plenty of jokes about the iPad — the netbook without a keyboard. I laughed when Apple announced it because to my mind a $300 netbook is a much better deal, and it has a keyboard. But I'm starting to think that I'm wrong; that people will buy it.
Many, many people still find personal computers mysterious. They have one but it's full of malware, spyware, or worse, and it's probably running some version of Windows. Maybe even Windows 98. Who knows. And often enough, these same people can't even tell you which version of Windows they're running because to them it's all the same. Or they tell you that they're running "Microsoft." Yes, they're running the Microsoft Corporation on their personal computer. Anyway.
Their computer sits off in a corner or in the kids' room. They use it to check their webmail or to pay bills, but they don't understand it and they only touch it because they have to. Perhaps they have a Facebook account and they like to sit there and stare at that, too. They do some shopping on Amazon or Zappos and they read the news. They check their stocks. They play games. When it breaks or runs slowly they buy a new one.
Really, for many people who own personal computers, their computer is a toaster. Just like their iPhone or other smartphone. Unlike a toaster, their computer can do unlimited things, but like the toaster (or better yet, their countertop oven) they use only a couple of its features because they have neither time nor inclination to dig deeper. Who wants to be an expert on their toaster?
Here comes the iPad. The pretty toaster that you can hold in your hands and that does pretty much everything that your computer does in a cute package. It will let you check your email, play videos, and most importantly, run iPhone apps. All of the scary stuff is hidden behind a cute interface and you just use it. For everyone who already has an iPhone (about 75 million people) this is simply a natural progression.
The iPad will sell because it's a big, fat iPhone that's going to make it a lot easier for the toaster set to use their computer. And that's just about all there is to it.
Okay, "uncle."
Ryan Harris, author of our Hacking the Cable Modem, has been indicted on charges of Computer Fraud and Wire Fraud. You can read the complete indictment here. These charges carry a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
I've known Ryan for several years and I worked closely with him as editor and publisher of his book, Hacking the Cable Modem. Having read the indictment it's clear to me that Harris is being made an example of by cable companies that won't implement DOCSIS correctly or who won't put the effort in to manage their users and their bandwidth. Whether you like Harris or not, this is a travesty. (Now, why Harris wouldn't simply be sued over this instead of being arrested is anyone's guess.)
According to the Indictment,
The first part is correct; the last part is not necessarily the case.
Harris visited our office a few years back to demonstrate his cable modem hacking abilities. He's quite skilled and I think he rooted a Motorola Surfboard 5100 in about two minutes. I was pretty impressed. He had hacked the modem, altered its firmware, and was able to access its admin page. But guess what? He wasn't stealing anyone's service. In fact, the modem was only connected to his computer. It wasn't even on the Internet. But, but . . . it was hacked!
And that's exactly the point. Hardware can be hacked just for the fun of it or simply to gain control over a piece of hardware that one owns. In fact, that's why I originally contacted Ryan to express interest in publishing a book on hacking cable modems. I don't like black boxes (unless they're Shuttles), and I like to understand how hardware works. I also don't like the fact that my cable company pushes out a config file to my modem that blocks the admin page. (I didn't even know that my cable modem had an admin page until Ryan explained that it was being blocked.)
Here's the thing: If I own a piece of hardware, I can do whatever I want to it. I can modify it; disassemble it; load DD-WRT on it; overclock it; even repurpose it. Why? Because I own it. And there's nothing more American than that.
I'm breaking the law if I use that piece of hardware to steal something. I'm not breaking the law if I tell someone how that piece of hardware can be used to steal something any more than I'm breaking the law if I publish a book about how to make bombs or commit suicide. (Not that we do or ever would.)
Our country grants us certain rights. One of those is freedom of speech. Another is freedom of press which is probably why No Starch Press has yet to be indicted, I suppose. (Although I'm guessing I now have an FBI file. Woohoo!) Yeah, we bad.
I take just a bit of credit for this bit of the Indictment:
Harris offered this book for sale and so do we. Unfortunately, due to this recent bit of publicity, Hacking the Cable Modem is currently out-of-stock but we've got a quick reprint on the way. (PDF available now if you'd like to buy it.)
And yes, we'll keep printing and publishing Hacking the Cable Modem as well as any other books about hardware hacking or modding that are interesting, compelling, and worth reading. That's why we call our line "The finest in geek entertainment."
Stay tuned.
Another snippet from the continuing dialog on Slashdot. Here's my response to someone's question about the level of editing at No Starch Press.
I've been publishing technical books since 1991. In my experience, and according to reports form the authors we've worked with, there doesn't seem to be a company that consistently edits every title as deeply as we do. Of course I may be wrong and this information is based only on my experience with other publishers and reports from other authors.
The reports that I get from authors are either that their work is left basically unedited (or it's left to a copyeditor to clean up), or, as was the case with one large publisher that I worked with in the 1990s, a couple of chapters are edited and then the authors are left on their own.
On all of our titles, one of our in-house editors does a developmental edit first. This edit may involve rewriting/reorganizing chapters; extensive queries; reworking paragraphs and sentences; and so on. Or, if the book needs minimal editing, chapters may move on to technical review, once our editor has approved them.
Once chapters are returned by the technical reviewer and cleaned up (by author and editor), they move onto copyedit. Once through copyedit they move onto proofreading. Our authors see every stage of the process.
If you've been receiving this level of editing that's great news. Every publisher in the tech book business should be doing a similar level of editing, as necessary. I wish they all would because the business would be better for it.

Round about now, perfect pink might be the boldest sun statement of the fashion runway, and that added gradient ingredient makes it extra radiant.
MARC BY MARC JACOBS 351/S from Sàfilo USA
Nothing extreme here. This one is all about perfect face-to-frame volume, intense black zyl colorations with light reflective detailing and a hint of tortoise only when you get up close and personal. And… close or afar… this sunglass will always be remembered as legendary.
JOHN VARVATOS V753 from Base Curve/
A Luxury Division of Rem Eyewear
Yes, of course, you know Silhouette and its iconic minimal take on rimless eyewear and sunwear... but... you also need to know THIS Silhouette.
MELODY 3190 from Silhouette Optical
What happens when a snappy aviator meets a swell, preppy type? THIS! So happy together, no matter the weather.
ORIGINAL PENGUIN "The Everett" from Kenmark Group
SO many men's eyewear style elements here but that wisp of
a cateye upturn at the temple worships HER SUNsation.
GUESS BY MARCIANO 662 from Viva International Group
Frosted and hazy zyl colorations define the scenario for this season in the sun.
ROUGH JUSTICE Vicious from Signature Eyewear
… For the sun... for the son... for the father... and... for ANY man wanting what many consider the guy's ultimate spot in the shade(s).
PERSOL 3047-S from Luxottica
Proof positive that sport experts are masterfully clever when it comes to fashion finesse and flair.
HONEY from Spy
Interesting and subtle colorblock effect mates a dense Havana upper rim and temples to a deep, noir blue lower eye rim. Men especially have a solid affinity for these colorations so this combo makes for ideal teamwork.
ECO Dallas from Modo Eyewear
Combine a Savile Row sense of status with some military madness and you have a Baker's recipe for taking a classic clubman look into some unique Anglo-worshipping sunspace.

is it just me or did they just do the same lift 3 times? lame.
is it just me or did they just do the same lift 3 times? lame.
Kristen's fall on the triple Salchow (I think that's what the announcer said) was unfortunate.
But wow, I love their lifts (and her positions/extension!). And great synchronicity on the side-by-side spins.
Scores: 117.24, including a -1.00 deduction. a whopping 22 points better than their personal best FS! Total score is 170.92, great job!

Wow that was a huge score!
When Kristen fell on her salchow, it looked like his blade was awfully close to her o_O Hope it was just the camera angle.
Nice skate from them, even with the fall.
There's no way that M-T/M will get the score anywhere other that in Canada.
Absolutely no transitions and choreography, a fall, and the elements themselves were mediocre. I'm baffled. Apparently, that skate is only a few points less than P/T in NHK. And better than Bazarova/Larionov.
This has to be the most corrupt GP event ever.
Meagan Duhamel sure has a taste for skating partners: first Buntin, now Radford
Mm, that Eric Radford is quite the cutie!

Lacey Montgomery finished second for the Emery High Lady Spartan cross-country team in the region 8 meet held at Juan Diego last week. With the high finish, the girl's team was able to qualify for the state meet this week at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City.
Salem Hills won the meet followed by North Sanpete, Juan Diego, Emery and Delta. Carbon did not field a team but had several runners competing for the individual title.
Salem Hills also won the boy's division followed by North Sanpete. The Emery boys did not qualify for the state meet this week as they lost that last position by one point.
Following Montgomery was Larelan Huntsman, Natalie Baantjer, Sharel Gilbert, Amanda Ewell, Tennyson Fauver and Leisha Magnuson. Leisha is a drill team member who was kind enough to come over and compete with the team so that they had enough bodies to field a team.
Christy Guymon, girls head coach said, "We are excited. Lacey has a shot at doing very well."
