I don't get it, now that Hisshouburaiken's back to translating Naruto (hopefully for good), binktopia quits because of lack of good translations?
Check Mangastream's translation this week, it's Hisshouburaiken. If binktopia feels like they need a break, that's fine cause Mangastream's doing pretty good so far but I plz ask that if Mangastream has any probs during a certain week and they fail to release, that binktopia will fill in for that week, cause we really need a good scanlation in the interval between Sleepyfans and Japflap.
Maybe you should all contact Mangastream and see if they wanna merge with binktopia? hehe. or atleast binktopia can give them some tips if you think it's necessary.

Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
I'm at 80% certain that HBK's translation this week was a limited thing, and he'd be back to being busy on RL pretty soon.
What bothers me is how we have a forum where people are scattered from all parts of the world. But yet no one here is from Japan. Freaking amazing.
The Muffinator used to, even though she's Australian IIRC. Still doesn't answer why we don't have one native Japanese speaker on here, though. I guess native Japanese would rather discuss Naruto on their own Japanese manga boards.
Damn it. I wasn't really hoping for this.
Thank you for giving us great quality scans, hopefully we'd have you back.

Harvard Business School Finance Working Paper No. 09-060
The essence of structured finance activities is the pooling of economic assets (e.g. loans, bonds, mortgages) and subsequent issuance of a prioritized capital structure of claims, known as tranches, against these collateral pools. As a result of the prioritization scheme used in structuring claims, many of the manufactured tranches are far safer than the average asset in the underlying pool. We examine how the process of securitization allowed trillions of dollars of risky assets to be transformed into securities that were widely considered to be safe, and argue that two key features of the structured finance machinery fueled its spectacular growth. At the core of the recent financial market crisis has been the discovery that these securities are actually far riskier than originally advertised.

Intangibles often drive team success. In the case of the Washington Nationals, one of those intangibles could be the video game Call of Duty.
All-Star pitcher Stephen Strasburg and several members of the team including closer Drew Storen, slugger Michael Morse and catcher Jesus Flores played Call of Duty: Black Ops during the offseason as a way to keep in touch. "It became a whole competition within the team itself," Strasburg says. "We pretty much build our offseason workout program around playing video games."
A diehard online gamer, the 24-year-old right-hander takes his Sony PlayStation 3 on Nationals road trips and also keeps up with former teammates from high school, college and other teams, including Detroit Tigers pitcher Collin Balester, a former National, for instance.
NATIONAL NIGHTMARE: Fans miffed at 1 o'clock start time
"I play quite a bit on the road," Strasburg says. "There's not much to do in the city, especially when you go to some of these hotels. When you go out you get bombarded for autographs and whatnot. So it's kind of nice to kick back, shut the blinds in your hotel room and just play some Call of Duty before you have to go to the field."
Strasburg is so into Call of Duty that he visited the game's developer Treyarch in late April when the team was in Los Angeles to play the Dodgers to get a sneak peek at Black Ops II, due out Nov. 13. Last week, the studio brought the latest build of the multiplayer game to the D.C. area for Strasburg to test drive.
How much all that online competition in the offseason figured into the Nationals success can't be known. But, Strasburg says, "the one thing that separates us from a lot of other teams in the league is that we have great team chemistry. The older guys look out for the younger guys like myself."
After securing a National League East Division title and the best overall record in the league, the team was "definitely at an all-time high," says Strasburg, who was shut down for the season in early September for precautionary reasons. "The great thing about this team is that we are built for the long run so I don't think we are going to be out there competing in the playoffs for one year. That's going to be our goal to be there every year."

Posted on 01/19/2013 9:10:34 PM PST by chessplayer
You know, I'm really getting tired of kids being punished for being normal kids. But here we go again. First graders at a Maryland elementary school have been suspended for having the audacity to play a good old-fashioned game of cops and robbers.
(Excerpt) Read more at thestir.cafemom.com ...
Would Muslims and infidels been ok?
Can you imagine what they would have gotten for playing Cowboys and Indians.
Celebrate civility ping!
Can we suspend Barry and Holder for Playing "Fast and Furious"?
If you were to ask a real child psychologist, I'm betting that he'd say kids play these games as all part of the process of learning right from wrong.
These so-called child experts are actually damaging the normal child pattern of development.
were they using pink bubble guns?
Silly kids..you should have screamed Allah Akbar like good little boys and girls..then the left would love you.
The robber must present the bank with a legal writ seeking reparations for past injustices, the robber will promise to distribute the wealth to the oppressed masses, the cop may politely inquire as to the root causes of the robber's actions, and suggest anger-management counseling. NO G**S , EVEN IMAGINARY ONES, ARE EVER TO BE DISPLAYED! Estrogen-laced whole-wheat cupcakes (with NO fattening frosting), and lactose free milk, from cows not treated with rBST will be available when the game is over!
Having been a plumber I can tell you there is very little aiming going on there but I get your point. LOL
This is exhibit number one to stop federal involvement in education. Your tax dollars are being redistributed to places like this. This holds true at the state level as well. Complete local control of schools and busting teacher unions will solve problems like these.
Political correctness given the force and authority of law. It is not new. I was watching a documentary about the Tokugawa Shogunate and how the later Shoguns enforced the peace for which the time was known. Well, it was the result of law and regulations dictating the most minute activities of all the classes of Japanese with real and severe punishments for even unintentional violations of the code. The code covered even such things as how to dress and what colors to wear in differing locations, where and when you can sell your products which were in turn dictated by the authorities.
To me, it sounded like a living hell. Then I realized that we are headed in a like direction.
My siblings, cousins and I would be serving life sentences for THAT one.
Can you imagine what they would have gotten for playing Cowboys and Indians.
Well, at least there is some rational thought behind being opposed to kids playing cowboys and indians. The cowboys and indians I played as a kid, the cowboys were always good and the indians were always bad. Always. The only good indian was a dead one. Cops and robbers is totally different.
When are the teachers unions goign to assemble ALL the teachers and tell them "Look you friggin idiots- Kids will be kids- they go throguh stages, they pretend- DEAL WITH IT and STOP punishing htem for being kids! THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS! STOP THROWING THEM OUT OF SCHOOL! STOP HAVING THEM ARRESTED! STOP SUSPENDING THEM! YOU FRIGGIN IDIOTS YOU!"
I'm holding my breath waitign for the meeting
These control freaks are psychological predators in my opinion.
In the 50's, that's all we ever played. Those were the days of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy, Davy Crockett, etc. My brother was a big John Wayne fan. All he ever wanted to be was a soldier. He played war with those green plastic Army figures all the time. He also enjoyed drawing pictures of war scenes, with tanks blowing up things, and stick figure soldiers shooting each other. Thank God we were allowed to be kids back then.
Hey-—what about Tonto??? Everyone loved him.
They are trying to do just that. They are using the excuse that it cost too much to have urinals and toilets in school restrooms. But it is just more male bashing by the leftist.
This comes after many school districts have switched over to waterless urinals.
Provided the infidels were the bad guys, yes.
i just wish this was a sick joke.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) "A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten."
"Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled the girl a "TERRORIST THREAT" for the bubble gun remark,"
The school is keeping this on her permanent records. She was interrogated for half an hour without her parents being present, and she now has to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
They are, pardon the expression, de-balling males. It is the further feminization of our society, to demasculinize the male species. It can only be cured by men standing up for their own kind. Go to it guys, don't just sit there, do something about it. Get in those school administrators' faces and nail them to the wall. Hit up the schools, protest, start a letter campaign in the local rags complaining about any instances such as this. Organize. DO SOMETHING!!!
Why don't these maggots just de-ball them at birth?
Or mumbley peg! Any other old timer FReepers remember that game!! Damn, we might have got the chair!!!
I really can't wait until I'm able to leave this state.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Original local news story from Trappe, MD
Is that Harry Potter pointing a 'gun' in the background?
Another Reason to Homeschool.
It is interesting the usual are not here yet. They will be soon.
Uh oh. I just finished a quilt for my soon-to-be-born great nephew. It has cowboy hats on it. When people see cowboy hats, do they think of guns? He'll probably grow up to be a serial killer or something.
Conservatives! WAKE UP! The "something" to do is to **immediately** remove your children and work furiously to shut these abominable government run institutions DOWN! Permanently!
The schools are staffed with Teacher Ratcheds dedicated to Feminazidom. They figuratively eat little balls for lunch. Not only is this emotional abuse of little boys harmful for the boys, when little girls witness it, they are set up for a life of maladaptive behavior and sorrow as well!
I am convinced that there no "good" government teachers. A good teacher would **never** seek a job in a school that emotionally abuses boys, nor would they remain long if they did.
Personally....I believe that government run and owned socialist-model, single-payer, compulsory, and GODLESS schools are so abusive to children that I have made a decision. I will not have a government teacher for a friend. They are either too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. ( I wouldn't have an abortion worker for a friends, either.)
As we did in the '50s. It was agreat way to get exercise and we even used our Daisy BB guns as props. Nobody ever shot anyone (our Dads would have made life hell if one of us teed up a BB and let fire at a friend) and we all stayed healthy - in mind and body.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I don't even feel sorry anymore for these parents that send their precious children off to be indoctrinated by the big daddy gov't.
I do, very well.
My plans are underway. I've totally had it. Worse than Pennsylvania. Going south.
He was an Uncle Tom-to...a roreo...a house Injun.

Box score
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Nick Gantsoudes (Redding, Conn./Avon Old Farms) equaled his career high with five goals and Kyle Feeney (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) was sharp in the crease with 12 saves, lifting the 20th-ranked Bucknell men's lacrosse team to a 15-7 victory over Albany on Saturday at rainy Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Bison have now won six games in a row to improve to 6-3 on the season.
Todd Heritage (Cheshire, Conn./Cheshire) and Chase Bailey (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) added hat tricks and freshman David Dickson (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) passed out four assists for the Bison, who have scored 89 goals during this six-game win streak for an average of 15.8 per game. Bucknell came into the game ranked fourth nationally in goals per game (13.1) and first in shooting percentage (.399), and it improved both of those marks against the Great Danes. The Bison hit on 15 of their 30 shots in this one.
Miles Thompson led Albany (0-7) with two goals and three assists, while Joe Resetarits had two goals and one assist.
Adding to the point production for Bucknell was Peter Burke (Walpole, Mass./St. Sebastians) with two goals and freshman Joe Kearney (Mahwah, N.J./Mahwah) with a goal and two assists. Leading scorer Billy Eisenreich (Chatham, N.J./Chatham), who was coming off a school-record-tying 11-point game against Robert Morris on Tuesday and ranked second nationally in points entering the game, drew heavy coverage from Albany but still managed a goal and an assist.
Bucknell never trailed, and the game was tied just once at 1-1. The red-hot Bison offense took a bit to get going in the wet conditions, but once Heritage broke the 1-1 deadlock with 1:18 left in the first quarter, the floodgates opened. Heritage scored again off a Dickson feed in the final minute of the first quarter, which was part of a 4-0 run that gave Bucknell the lead for good.
Gantsoudes' second goal of the day put the Bison up 5-1, and his third of the game made it 7-2 with 4:58 left in the second quarter. Resetarits trimmed the lead to 7-3 before halftime, but Gantsoudes and Kearney opened the second-half scoring to put the Bison comfortably in front at 9-3.
Heritage completed his hat trick (Dickson assisted on all three) with 10:28 to play in the fourth quarter, giving the Bison their largest lead of the day at 15-6. That was Bucknell's final shot attempt of the game, as the starters got an early rest for the third straight outing.
Albany finished with a 31-30 shot advantage, while Bucknell won the ground ball battle 36-29. Both teams won 13 faceoffs, while Albany had 21 turnovers to Bucknell's 19. The Bison went 2-for-3 with an extra man and killed off all three of their own penalties.
While Feeney had a stellar day with 12 saves, he was also active outside his crease. He led all players with six ground balls, he intercepted two passes and won back a possession after a save by sprinting and then diving to the end line first.
Defenseman Matt Spagnoli (Stony Brook, N.Y./Ward Melville) led the team with three caused turnovers, and freshman Gavin Sullivan (Bluemont, Va./Loudon Valley) had a good day taking faceoffs, winning 8 of 14. Wing man John Scally (Short Hills, N.J./Delbarton) picked up four ground balls.
Gantsoudes also had an assist in the game, giving him a career-high six points. He also registered five goals in last season's opener against Canisius.
The Bison have another non-conference game on Tuesday night at Penn State at 7 p.m. That will be followed by a return to Patriot League action next Saturday at Holy Cross at 1 p.m.

Is Karl Alzner the answer to the Oilers' problems?
Jonathan Willis

If the Oilers are going to make a heavy pitch for a defenceman they probably aren't going to get, that defenceman shouldn't be Shea Weber. It should be the Washington Capitals' Karl Alzner.
Why Alzner?
What kind of defenceman do the Oilers want to add on their blue line? Ideally, they would obtain somebody young who can be a fit in a top-four role on the left side for years to come. It should be a player who skates well and is capable of moving the puck. A player used to seeing top opponents would be a good fit, and it certainly wouldn't hurt if he had size on his side.
Enter Karl Alzner. The 6'3", 213 pound defender turns 25 in September. He averaged a hair under 21 minutes per game in Washington this season, playing 17:17 at even-strength and 2:34 in short-handed situations. Here in part is how Matthew Coller, writing for Hockey Prospectus described him last summer:
Karl Alzner has turned out to be one of the league's top stay-at-home defensemen. His size and skating ability make life difficult for forwards trying to enter the offensive zone and his hands make fast breakouts of the Capitals' offense possible… Alzner is an All-Star caliber defenseman who is underpaid at $1.3 million; a restricted free agent after 2012-13, the former Calgary Hitman looks due for a major payday.
Going by behindthenet.ca's quality of competition statistics, Alzner has led the Capitals blue line in two of the last three seasons; he has also been heavily leaned on in the defensive zone.
Why a trade is just barely possible
Photo by Michael Miller/Wikimedia
Then why on Earth would the Capitals trade Alzner? The answer is that they likely would not; he's an excellent defenceman and the kind of guy every team wants. What opens the door, at least a little bit, is Washington's salary cap situation. By my count the team has 11 forwards, six defencemen and two goaltenders signed for next year with a total cap hit of $58 million, leaving them somewhere in the range of six million to replace second-line centre Mike Ribeiro, sign restricted free agents Alzner and Marcus Johansson (34GP – 6G – 16A – 22PTS) and add one other player to the roster. It's a tight fit.
A lot depends on how much money Alzner wants; there hasn't been much in the way of news on contract negotiations yet (Washington's season having ended only recently) but he's one of those players who can be difficult to value because his primary contributions are defensive. On the one hand, he's a top-two even-strength defenceman; on the other he's a guy who had five points this year. He's coming off a two-year contract where he earned less than $2 million per season; it seems a safe bet the Capitals will work hard to keep the dollars on his next deal modest.
An offer sheet is far from an ideal solution, but it might be a possibility here for a motivated Oilers club; more practical might be the threat of an offer sheet. Based on last year's draft pick compensation rates (the salary cap is dropping, RFA compensation rates likely will too) the Oilers could offer a deal in the $4.0 - $4.5 million/year range and only need to surrender a first and third round pick next year in exchange; it's a risk but Alzner is a good enough player to justify the trade if the Capitals declined to match. Alternately, the Oilers could threaten to offer something in that range and simultaneously offer an enticing package for Alzner's rights.
The smart money here is on nothing happening, and Alzner re-upping with the Capitals at a modest cap figure sometime this summer. But because the player is such a strong fit for the Oilers' needs both in the here and now and three years from now, Edmonton should at the very least talk to Washington about what it would take to make a deal happen.

Recently around the Nation Network
In Vancouver, there seems to be some concern that young restricted free agnet defenceman Chris Tanev might attract an offer sheet from an opposing team. In Chris Tanev's Next Contract, Thomas Drance suggests that the team may need to trade the player:
To be clear, I'd much rather see Chris Tanev re-sign in Vancouver and continue to mature while completely owning secondary competition on the third pairing. But the Canucks might be wise to set an internal deadline for a Chris Tanev extension, and shop him in Newark at the 2013 NHL entry draft if the two sides aren't close by then.

I'd like to see Mike Green here TBH.
When healthy he is one of the best offensive D men in the league, has a physical element and is actually better defensively than he gets credit for. He is also still only 27 years old and if he gets back to his 60-70 point seasons his cap hit is serviceable as well and has two years left on it.
I know the big issue with him is his health but damn he looked good when he came back this year and in the playoffs.
If Washington is trying to shed salary he'd be the likely candidate.
I know Green is RHD but we could address the LHD vif free agency with someone like Leopold.
A D corps that looks like the following to my eye looks pretty damned good and has balance of stay at home types and offense.

Hey JW - Not sure if you had an opportunity to catch much of it, but any chance to get your take on how each of the Oil did at World Championships?
May 17 2013, 05:30PM
They've already paid the worst of the Weber contract. They're not going to back out now after suffering through that.
As of today, they've only paid him 13 of the 110 million he'll eventually be due. Not sure where you're getting your facts from, but i'd question them if I were you.
In the new CBA, isn't there a provision that allows money to change hands now? His next team could actually reimburse the Preds that July 1st bonus?
13 compared to 110, I don't know what school you went to Jonathan, but that doesn't appear to be anywhere close to 1/4 what he'll eventually be due. Even if he's a Predator this fall. He'll still be due 83 million dollars in the following yrs.
If they were forced into "suffering through that", wouldn't it make getting out from under that other 83 even the least bit appealing? End this so called "suffering" as you called it, no?
May 17 2013, 05:50PM
I haven't answered this because I don't want to wander too far down the hypothetical path. But the Oilers have a number of good young players and prospects beyond the numbers ones, Eberle and Schultz.
Careful, Wayne might hear.
May 17 2013, 06:00PM
Where you are getting tipped up is believing that all teams use thew same development process as the oilers...that is throwing young players into the deep end and hoping they don't drown.
However, that is not the case.
Deeper teams like Anaheim, Detroit, Chicago etc. instead build their teams with solid veterans surrounding their marquee players and force their young guns to EARN a spot on the roster.
Anaheim, for example had Getzlaf, Koivu, Winnik and Steckel playing very defined roles on their team meaning a 21 year old player like Holland has a hill to climb before he can makes the roster.
You may notice that, while Gagner appeared to be one of the highest scoring players in his draft because he got HUGE opportunity in his first few seasons, that other players are starting to pass him by as they get their opportunities.
Players like Voracek, Couture, Shattenkirk, Pacioretty, Perron and Subban, who were all drafted after Gagner, are passing him by.
Tallon's prospect pool is considered to be the best in the league
and, although you seem to think the Oiler way is the best way, I suggest you try and take a more balanced view.
Good teams don't rely on rookies the way the Oilers do and even Tallon and the Florida organization are much more patient with their prospects which is why rookie of the year candidate Huberdeau was sent back to junior while a player like Justin Schultz was allowed to twist in the wind when things went south.
And, since you seem to be enamoured of plus/minus, might I remind you that Schultz finished the season with a sparkling -17
Logan Couture- fantastic hockey player, huge fan. I'd say 7 teams missed on this one cause he's the best in the draft after Kane.
Jakub Voracek- good player, Gagner has a handful more points, they have the same points per game.
Max Pacioretty- Gagner has a lot more points, they have the same points per game.
David Perron- Gagner has a handful more points, Perron has a worse points per game, is injury prone and the same size as Gagner.
P.K. Subban- every team in the league passed on him. Are you going to get on teams cases for passing on Lindstrom, Chara, Weber, Letang who were all after the first round? These things happen.
Kevin Shattenkirk- good player, I would rather have him than Gagner but just barely. How would he fare playing on Edmonton and not St.Louis?
Do you know who Minnesota drafted with the 16th overall pick? Colton Gillies... Enough said.
Do better.

You missed my point entirely.
Those Oilers fans who keep trumpeting Gagner as the Second Coming need a little perspective.
Saying he has the "second most points in his draft class" is just ridiculous.
Sure, he's played more games and had more prime opportunities but that doesn't mean he's the second best player...not even close.
Most of this is nonsense but a few corrections.
Sam Gagner was 4th among Oilers forwards in TOI in his rookie season...not "3rd or 4th line minutes"
He was 3rd in PPTOI.
You mean the Turris who has 5 points in 6 playoff games?
You mean the JVR who just had an 18 goals season? (pro rates to 31 goals)
And Hickey, who played 34 games for Islanders and was +9.
While I agree it was a weak draft, my point remains that Gagner is not blowing away his draft year...he was just afforded a head start on when most young players get a chance.
hickey just got into the league and is a #5 D man at best
yes the kyle turris that had 9 less points than gagner this season and tht has never breached 30 points
yes the JVR that had 6 less points than Gagner and has never breached 40 points.
also no one said he was the 2nd best player from the draft. He has the second most points.
"how dumb of EDM not to draft wayne simmonds 6th overall, he's so much better"
I wonder if at the time of the draft..wait for it...one player is better than another :O. How dumb of PHI not to take Subban 2nd overall! How dumb of LA not to take Benn 4th overall! How dumb of oiler fans to pay attention to a troll and how dumb of oilersnation for not banning him!
I remember watching the 2007 draft and one of the early stories of round one was McPhee stumbling as he announced the Washington pick. He wanted Gagner but his scouts liked Alzner better, so when he went to the podium he almost said "from the London Knights" but corrected himself.
I'm not saying that it would be a Gagner for Alzner trade, but if it were it would certainly be one of hockey's little ironies.
A package for Alzner would probably have to be a young defenseman (I would offer Musil) and a young NHL forward, for which Paajarvi seems like the most likely name, then perhaps try to make up the difference with a draft pick.
And at that draft Alzner was the player the Oilers wanted but McPhee snapped him up first. It would be funny if there was a deal where the two were swapped for each other 6 years later.
But, but, but that doesn't fit into DSF's narrative that the Oilers are a bunch of dummies! Shame on you. Everyone knows that the Oilers are the dumbest organization in the league, right DSF?
Hey JW
How come Oilers and Oiler fans think it ridiculous to use Hall Ebz or Nuge as trade bait????
May 18 2013, 08:14AM
63 comments on an article about Karl Alzner, and maybe 5 comments mention the washington d-man. Great job, once again, ON. Every day I get closer to removing this site from my list.
Alzner, plays top minutes, stay at home d-man, blocks shots, a bit of a puck mover, bodychecks,not a thunderous hitter.
To mean this is Smid, all over again. Do you need two of same at $4 million dollars.?

Skip to comments.Abbas exploded with rage at Kerry over insane framework proposals
Posted on 02/27/2014 12:51:01 PM PST by Former Fetus
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas left a two-day meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris last week fuming over Kerrys proposals for a framework accord between Israel and the Palestinians, according to a Palestinian report.
The top American diplomat reportedly offered for Abbas to form a Palestinian capital in the neighborhood of Beit Hanina, not all of East Jerusalem, as the Palestinians have demanded.
Kerry also suggested that Israel keep 10 settlement blocs as part of any territorial exchange, according to Al Quds, the most widely read Palestinian daily, on Wednesday.
The Jordan Valley would not be part of a future Palestinian state, Palestinian sources told the paper, nor would there be an international force stationed there. And Kerry reportedly demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people.
(Excerpt) Read more at timesofisrael.com ...
I don't know how to drive a bulldozer, but for that mosque sitting in the way of rebuilding the temple, I'll learn.
Kerry is a few hammers shy of a full toolbelt in my book.
An overbred horse of an idiot. Go look at him back in the day when he was on ACTIVE duty, protesting the Vietnam War in DC - he was wearing fatigues with his dress ribbons on them.
Israel would still exist, that would be a real stumbling
block to peace.
Those Palies drive a hard bargan, but SOS Kerry will
work it out, just like he did in Cambodia.
More Amateur Hour on display for the world to see, the subjects of our latest folly being the Palestinians not withstanding.
A bearded savage "exploded with rage?" is it really true?
It's pretty easy to learn. Did you ever have a "Green Machine" as a kid? Same concept but you don't have to peddle and there is one lever for the blade height. Once you get it started, it'll pretty much run itself. I recommend the full reinforced cage for drive-thru demolition. It's safer for the operator.
Abbas better be careful. Kerry was in Vietnam.
I am convinced that they are all demon possessed.
I did drive an APC command post, I suppose they're similar.
"Peacefully"...He exploded in rage "Peacefully".
Kerry's falling short of living up to his predecessor's stature.
And, that's mighty hard to do...
Even Hillary couldn't manage the feat of getting both the Pallies and the Israelis mad at us at the same time.
Just put a rock on the pedal and jump. What happens next is the will of Allah. So Muzzies can't bitch.
Given what's happening in Ukraine, and Venezuela, new problems with Iran, ongoing conflict in Syria etc why is the US secstate even wasting 5 min of his time on Abbas??
Too bad he didn't explode with explosives.
I thought John F-ing Kerry was going to offer them the sovereign state of Detroit in the peace deal. That didn't pan out?
Another fumble?
Low hanging fruit. (No pun intended)
Kerry has made himself irrelevant to the middle east (and probably to the rest of the world, too)
just as Abbas is irrelevant (an illegitimate ruler representing nobody but his own big terrorist gang)
let's stop with all these articles about what Kerry or Obama or Abbas say
dibs on the second pass
Exactly. Its like a high school JV team playing against seasoned professionals.
I guess the Palis just get all that 'nuanced' stuff, J'FinK is so well known for...................
Lurch pisses everybody off!
Maybe kerry will throw his medals at abbas.
Indeed. Kerry has in fact, brought some degree of accord and unity between Israelis and Palestinians who both agree wholeheartedly that Kerry is an idiot.
He's a uniter. The Israelis and the Palestinians now have something they can agree upon.
"Good job financing the Munich Atrocity.
What can we do together, now?"
Kerry fails the "Global Test."
John Kerry Solution, Ltd.
From the equivalent of Saturday Night Live, but Israeli.
c'mon folks.
this is all kibuki theater.
Abbas has no authority to negotiate anything.
in the end, has has to get 100% of the
demands that are made by the 'greater Arab world'.
Wait, they have been negotiating for nine months and this is as far as they have gotten...
Israel will NEVER give up Jerusalem.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Thanks Former Fetus.
someone had to be the definition of poseur
Y'know, having Kerry and Obama responsible for the nation's foreign policy makes for a dangerous mix of stupidity and malignance...
This mess is NOT Israel's responsibility.
Interesting strategy... get both groups to have total contempt for our Secretary of State. Has potential. Kerry helped unite conservatives in the United States with his lies... You might be on to something Bandit.

FERRON/ATHENS,TEXAS - William Daniel Luce, age 88, passed on March 20, 2012. Bill was born Sept. 22, 1923 to John W. and Mabel Jean Buehrle Luce in North Hollywood, Calif. He married Betty Jane Birkett, June 10 1943 in Seattle, Wash. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple on Feb, 14 1986.
Bill Luce "Grandpa" graduated from North Hollywood High School and continued his schooling at Antelope Valley Junior College. He later graduated from the Police Academy in Nevada and attended numerous training courses during his career as a police officer.
Service marked his life from the beginning. During WWII he enlisted with the US Coast Guard serving from 1942-1945. He worked for Douglas Aircraft before moving to Las Vegas with his family in 1960. Once in Las Vegas, he joined the Metro Police Department and eventually was promoted to sergeant. In the later part of his career he developed the first automated records system for the department and retired in 1981.
Bill moved to Ferron, Utah in 1983 where he continued to serve his community and church. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he was involved in family history research and volunteering at the Manti Temple for seven years. He donated property to Ferron City to help improve the cemetery and served on the Board of Director's for the Desertview Federal Credit Union as well as the Emery County Library Board.
Although he loved working in his yard, perhaps his greatest love was his dear wife Betty. In the early years they spent hours dancing and loved to go on trips with friends. They relished working at the Temple together and visiting family. He was always the loving, patient husband and caregiver and while he very much enjoyed his time with his children and grandchildren, he has once again joined Betty in their celestial journey.
He is survived by his brothers, John (Pat) Luce of Hulbert, Okla., Roger A. Luce of Valentia, Calif.; children, Sharon M.. Owens of Ferron, Michele (Will) Hanson of Athens,Texas, Steven Daniel Luce of Ferron, Mark ( Jami ) Luce of Ferron, 16 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and nine great-great-grandchildren.
He is preceeded in death by his parents, his wife of 65 years, Betty Jane; his son-in-law, David F. Owens; grandson, SSgt. Charles E Owens; two sisters and one brother.
Funeral service, Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 11 a.m., at the Blue Hills LDS Ward (35 West 200 North) in Ferron. A viewing will be held Tuesday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the church in Ferron. Interment, Ferron City Cemetery.
Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Bill online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

Item #: 7635
Snickers - 48 / Box$49.53
Item #: 1067
Snickers Bite Size Candy Bars - 3 lb.
Regular Price: $22.36
Special Price: $21.24
As the slogan says, "Snickers Satisfies" and after your first bite, we know you will agree. After all, Snickers is the best selling candy bar in the world and the world is a mighty large place. According to M&M Mars, Snickers accounts for over $2 billion dollars a year in sales!
As lore states, in the 1930's, the candy bar was named in in honor of a winning race horse named Snickers who obviously satisfied the Mars Family. If the thoroughbred had less of a winning streak, this candy bar may have never come in existence. Scary thought.
We have carried Snickers Bars in a variety of delicious shapes, flavors and sizes for over 70 years and it was one of the first count good products that we offered. During the holidays, we carry Snickers Pumpkins and other unique twists.
Whether you favor the original consisting of peanut packed nougat enrobed in rich milk chocolate or want something with stronger peanut butter taste, look no further. In the event that you are looking for a Mars Bar, you probably won't find the brand offered in the United States - they are sold exclusively in the United Kingdom - but we will share a secret and that is that the Snicker Almonds Bar is the exact same candy in a different wrapper.
The Rolling Stones may have said, "I can't get no satisfaction" and to take a twist on another of their lyrics, we are proud to offer an alternative where satisfaction is only a bite away.

The Harrisburg High School wrestling team went 2-1 over the weekend, beating West Frankfort (42-38) and Carmi-White County 48-31, while losing to East St. Louis (42-36) at the West Frankfort Duals Saturday.
HHS head coach Greg Langley said he felt his team wrestled much better over the weekend.
"Even though we came up short against East St. Louis, we had guys stay after it and despite being down in the match, we were able to recover and come up with a pin in the end. That's what made the difference today."
In the win against West Frankfort, Aaron Bryant (106-pounds), Darren O'Dell (113-pounds), Austin Lowry (126-pounds), Jaxon Karnoski (182-pounds), Cole Adams (195-pounds), Tyler Owens (220-pounds) and Brandon Thom (285-pounds) all picked up victories.
In the win against Carmi-White County, Tyler Sullivan (120-pounds), Cody Rightnowar (132-pounds), Sean Crisenberry (138-pounds), along with Bryant, O'Dell, Sullivan, Lowry, Owens and Thom all earned victories against the Bulldogs.
In the loss to East St. Louis, Zach Perkins (152 pounds), Lucian Hicks (160 pounds), Bryan Miller (170 pounds), along with Sullivan, Karnoski and Owens all picked up wins.
"We always talk about wrestling a full six minutes and we were able to do a better job of that (Saturday)," Langley said. "We can always find areas that need improvement and we will continue throughout this season to do just that. We had much more confidence and it showed over the weekend."
Late last week, Harrisburg lost 48-31 to Carmi-White Countyy where Bryant, O'Dell, Sullivan, Rightnowar, Karnoski and Thom all earned match victories.
Bryant won with a time of 1:17, while O'Dell came away with a pin at the 4:27 mark. Sullivan won his match with a 5-2 decision and Rightnowar had a winning time of 3:58. Karnoski's victory came with a 12-4 decision and Thom won with a fall time of 2:32.
The Harrisburg junior varsity wrestling team improved to 3-1 with a 36-30 win over CWC.
Zach Clarida (106 pounds), Dale Baker (120 pounds), Nicholas Reel (132 pounds), Logan Boon (170 pounds) and Ryan Dennison (285 pounds) all picked up victories.

Great episode. I loved the Gottei 13's entrance, especially Mayori. Pretty good filler so far.
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
Great episode.
The entrance of the originals was great. Looks like everyone will be staying in the real world for a while.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
This is how fillers should be, nothing but awesomeness.
I have a feeling were going to see the FGT again.
I like how everytime somebody tells him to use his power, he gets mad and tells them not to tell him what to do....then he uses his power -.-
Great Bleach episode. it was totally epic. My most favorite scene when shinigami sudden appear in the episode. The arc depict in the bleach episode was awesome. Animation and graphic quality of it was too good and i hope quality keep grow in the upcoming episodes of bleach.

Last night was the big night for Bethenny Frankel on Bethenny Getting Married? A 7-and-a-half months pregnant Bethenny walked down the aisle at the Four Seasons and (finally!) made it official with Jason Hoppy as his family, friends and Housewives Ramona Singer and Alex McCord — and their hubbies Mario Singer and Simon Van Kempen — looked on. But, not before she posed for paparazzi photos, broke down, told her maid of honor to chill out and peed in a bucket.
The night ended with red velvet cake that lived up to Bethenny's very high expectations, Jason's friends jumping in the pool and the happy couple jumping in a limo — not before Jason told the paps they were headed to St. Barth's. That guy needs some more training, Bethenny!

Leverage smart digital assets to extend process management to variable human tasks.
Schawk, a global brand management company, works with clients to design and deliver the visual branding for the packaging of consumer goods. The design process is creative, unpredictable, and expensive, and the stakes are high: packaging directly affects the shopper's buying decision, and legal issues can arise if text isn't accurate. Clients need to be able to make changes as late in the process as possible. At Schawk, this deadline used to be 30 days before delivery, but in recent years the company has reduced the "freeze date" to 15 days before delivery, creating a major competitive advantage for Schawk and its clients.
Schawk halved the freeze period by shifting its management focus from assets to processes. "We were too heavily focused on asset management, so we flipped that paradigm and began putting much more of our thought in the process piece," says Stephen Kaufman, CTO of Schawk. "Assets enter and exit [the process], and they have intelligence and metadata. The more metadata they have, the more intelligent the digital assets can be, but typically they're still players on the stage of process. You don't want process to be a player on the stage of assets."
Specifically, Schawk combined an existing business process management system (BPMS) with an existing digital asset management (DAM) system to build a system to manage the end-to-end process from creative to delivery. This system uses metadata about the digital assets to provide the agility and variability necessary for rapid visual brand development.
In contrast to this new system, most companies typically focus their automation efforts on the transactional processes best suited to standardization and reduced variability, because variability is considered wasteful and value destroying. The result has been a nearly exclusive emphasis on managing transactions instead of processes. Most companies optimize automation flows rather than what really counts: their end-to-end processes. Rare is the company that manages variable processes, including valueproducing, creative activities like visual brand design.
This issue of the Technology Forecast examines how smart digital assets and their metadata offer the opportunity to extend process management to human-driven activities without constraining variability. This first article introduces the idea of meta-process management, achieved by combining digital asset metadata with asset management and process management technologies, as an approach to continuous improvement of an end-to-end process. The second article explores technologies that exist to support this approach; the last article explores the CIO's role in this approach. In the following section, we start with a closer look at Schawk and the lessons it offers.

Skip to comments.Armed Grandmother of 10 Stops Home Invader
Posted on 04/11/2013 7:09:52 AM PDT by marktwain
Sandra Mize confronted an intruder breaking into her north Spokane home early Wednesday morning. She fired one shot in his direction and held him at gunpoint until officers arrived. Police arrested the man and said they do not believe it was his first burglary of the night.
Sandra Mize has a motto: "You don't get do-overs."
That's why the 63-year-old grandmother of 10 keeps a gun by her bed, a canister of mace in her living room, and reinforces the doors in her north Spokane home with deadbolt locks and metal jambs before she goes to sleep every night.
Her preparedness may have saved her life just after midnight Wednesday when she held off a burglar - at one point firing a wayward shot at the intruder - until police arrived.
Mize knows gun use and property crime are hotly debated issues. The break-in occurred nine days after a car thief was shot and killed by the car's owner about a mile away from her home.
"I could let my car drive down the block," Mize said. "That doesn't bother me. Someone in my home bothers me."
Mize was asleep in her single-story home along the 2000 block of East Dalton Avenue when she heard someone bust through her back door, bending her door braces and shattering the steel-paneled door's wooden frame.
She grabbed the .22-caliber handgun she keeps by her bed and ran into her dark living room to see the silhouette of a man in her kitchen.
Separated from the man by only a kitchen counter, Mize warned the intruder she was armed.
"He just kept coming," Mize said. "I didn't hesitate to shoot."
(Excerpt) Read more at gopusa.com ...
A heart warming story...
"Within two minutes, police had surrounded her home. The officers on her porch told her to put down her gun, so she set it on top of an antique sewing machine she uses as a TV stand.
That's when the man took off. Rising from the sofa, he tried to flee through the back door, Mize said.
A police dog was there to greet him.
The man ran back into the home and police quickly followed. Mize said she watched as about five officers wrestled the man to the living room floor and the dog bit him on the leg.
"He was very strong," said Mize..."
" reinforces the doors in her north Spokane home with deadbolt locks and metal jambs before she goes to sleep every night."
Lot of work to do every evening!
LOL, yes!
Speaking off topic about doors on some other forums people are painting their front doors with a coating of Herculiner, same stuff you line a truck bed with. The lining is almost blastproof and holds up well against a battering ram.
The police told her to put down her gun - she put it down on a sewing machine and that is when the robber tried to escape.
What if he had gone for the gun instead?
The police always assume that citizens lack common sense and training with a weapon. In my experience it's the police who could use more range time. More common sense and restraint too.
I doubt the Seattle cops could help her, maybe the dog would save the day.
Surprised they didn't shoot the dog.
Sounds like an interesting idea. Might look kinda funky. Wouldn't do me much good, as I have 6 huge sling doors on the first floor.
Good. This is what the libs want to take away from us. They want the criminal to just waltz right in and take what is "rightfully" his.
rprised they didnt shoot the dog.
I am too. I'm more surprised they didn't shoot Mrs Mize.
Exactly. She with her .22, sense of self-preservation, and determination had more control over the situation and on her survival than 5 (five) cops did.
They were more focused on her and the supposed danger she posed than on the dirtball perp than on protecting her.
Great illustration.
The police dog was not there in her moment of need. Her .22 and readiness to act, fortunately, were right at hand, and were enough to keep a strong and very determined ("He just kept coming...") home invader down.
Until she was disarmed, that is.
She did do a great job, but I just thought it was funny that she didn't shoot the fool but the dog bit him. :)
The weak point is not the door but the wooden jamb. It is just a two by four with a 1/2 strip of wood nailed to it.
The thing to do is get a thin piece of angle iron and drill and screw it to the jamb to spread the force of the bolt over a much wider area. You can do the same with a 1/8 inch thick plate of sheet metal that is 3 inche wide and 2 foot long. Drill a large hole in the center for the bolt and for the striker to go through and a dozen small holes for drywall screws. Then screw it to the door frame with 3 inch drywall screws.
If you want it to look normal, just put the plate under the 1/2 door frame trim board.
If she had had that modification done with a metal door, all the guy would have done is broken his foot.
Yeah, I am glad he'll have some tangible reminders of that experience. She showed great (too much?) restraint against a dangerous intruder.
The police are trained to be terrified of anyone holding a gun, and are apparently incapable of telling the difference in an incident such as this from good guy and bad guy.
How common sense and practical would it be to instead announce their presence and ask the woman to lower her weapon's muzzle when she sees them enter?
The police are simply trained to treat everyone as a hostile, because they place their own safety above that of everyone else.
Great place! Woman shoots home intruder and guy kills car thief!
But the wording repeated in title and body is a bit misleading - I kept thinking she was protecting 10 grandchildren staying with her.
lol. I thought the same.
writing and reporting are a joke.
Why didn't she just urinate or vomit on him? After all, that's what the libs want the womenfolk to do for defense in rape. Should work equally well for home invasion (eyeroll).
Sorry, shameless plug here. Our Platinum Pack hardens your door on both sides.
Confrontation is never the goal, prevention is! Keep them OUT!
One more shameless plug :)))
Watch our video for proof. (And they both had to go to the chiropractor after we shot this!)
I have been a member of Free Republic for MANY years, poster for a while, lurker for most of the time. This is our product. We have a video online that shows how to install it. It's pretty easy. You don't have to take the door knobs off and you don't have to take the door apart, just remove the weather stripping. But what if your door is tight? There is a video for that, too. It is easy to router in. We rent a template, we even rent an Installation Kit. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call.
Thanks for letting me plug my company :))
Hey man, thanks for the plug! Have a great night!
I know someone who has, and I've been looking at it for a while. It just reinforces the weak spots on your door frame, and might give you an extra minute or two to have your weapon ready.
Nice story but they make it seem like she is some frail older type grandmother. 63 is hardly impressive protecting their home. Now if she were 88 then I would be impressed.
I forgot that was your company. I've had my eye on that product for a while. I'll for sure get one now!
These articles have great quotes about why you need a gun for self-defense. Pick them out, two from Granny and one from the police officer, and send them out to all.
Let the Left try to denigrate Granny and the Police this time.
Hey, thanks so much!! Let me know if you have any questions :))

Wanted Man Arrested After Unwittingly Wearing T-Shirt with the Word 'Wanted' on It
Police in Taiwan apprehended a man wanted on drug charges after he unwittingly wore a shirt that drew attention to the fact that he was a fugitive.
According to a local police spokesman, the suspect, identified as Wu, was spotted by officers in the town of Huwei wearing a shirt with the word "wanted."
One of the officers who recognized the word approached Wu and asked him to explain its significance.
Wu told the officer he spoke no English and had no idea what the shirt — a gift from his son — actually said.
Unfortunately for him, the officer decided to run a background check on Wu, and discovered that he was actually a wanted man.
Wu later said that, had he known what the "wanted" meant, he wouldn't have worn the shirt.

Montrail Steak Update
August 30, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 4 Comments
As previously mentioned, I'll be fit and wear testing the forthcoming Montrail Streak. After a bit of fretting earlier in the week, my Streaks arrived yesterday afternoon. Last evening, I through them on for a slow 5 mile road run. They easily passed the "they don't suck" test. That's about as much feedback as I'd like to give after one short test run on the roads. I find that often the new shoes that I've got a bunch to say about out of the box are ones that don't pan out as well in the end. In such cases, my initial reaction is often based on a gimmick or indulgence, such as tons of cushioning. I can say this, the Montrail Streak is not a gimmicky shoe and doesn't over indulge the runner. To get away from what the Streak isn't, it is a promising shoe that easily handles some road running. I look forward to kicking some rocks with them tomorrow morning in Park City.

To "Bare" or Not To "Bare"
By Teresa Gallagher and Maria G. Mueller
That is the question of the season! With hot, sultry summer days just around the corner, so is the impending decision of how much to "bare" or not to "bare" while jumping the crisp ocean waves, or doing laps in the privacy of your own pool.
Maternity designers are providing some fabulous versatile options. Although one-piece tank suits remain a staple in many of the current collections, the tankini is gaining rapidly in popularity. With a very contemporary two-piece design, the tankini combines the "sizzle" of the bikini bottom with the "more modest" coverage of the top in a tank suit.
Jody Kozlow Gardner and Cherie Serota, founders of Belly Basics, have incorporated both options into their swimsuit line. Their one-piece tank suit has been updated with spaghetti straps, a shelf bra, and a matching skirt with sexy side slits for a little extra coverage. Their tankini is functional for serious swimming with a fully lined racer back style top and shelf bra, and is contemporary with it's two piece styling and brief bottoms, that allow you to choose just how much belly you will bare. Both styles are available in traditional black or cool water "pool" from Belly Basics, at 1-800-4-9-MONTH. The Spaghetti Tank Suit with matching skirt retails for $79, and the tankini retails for $69.
With swimming growing in popularity for pregnant women, other designers are "diving into the pool" with new maternity swimsuit lines. Adidas has announced the introduction of a whole maternity fitness line, including 2 great swimsuit options - the traditional racer back sports style one-piece, as well as their version of a tankini. Both styles sport the signature Adidas' logo and three stripe design. With full front support lining, high scoop neck and racer back style, and shelf bra, both styles are athletic in design with active swimming in mind.
The tank suit has a higher cut leg for greater comfort and style, is available in black, red, or sapphire, with the three Adidas white stripes, and retails for $65. The tankini was specifically developed for women with sensitive stomachs, as the top is non binding against the skin, and the bottom rests just above the belly. According to Dana, the designer of Adidas maternity wear, it "is wearable with the tummy showing or not, giving the style a lot of versatility." She sees swimwear becoming more revealing, "following Brazilian fashions-with lots more color blocking." The tankini is available in black, red, sapphire and purple, and retails for $65. Both styles can be found at www.thepoweroftwo.net. For a unique presentation of swimwear, Liz Lange offers a collection of "mix and matchables." Select a top and bottom separately, with different options that will fit most any personality.
Top choices include "The Jeanie Bikini Top" and "The Bette Halter (bikini) Top." Then choose your bottom - "The Peyton Bikini Bottom," "The Nanette Skirtm," or "The Tamera Swim Shorts." All separates retail for $55, and are available in light blue or navy. Some pieces are also available in a light blue batik print. The more conservative one-piece "Constance Swimsuit" is available in all three colors and retails for $110. To accessorize all of the above separates, is the "The Gwen Sarong" - a sheer cotton voile with a drawstring waist and a high front slit, available in a light blue floral print, for $110.
Dressing for the sun has never been so much fun! Happy Swimming!
