SCC Baseball Splits With Olympic - SCC Wins First Region Road Game
SCC Baseball Splits With Olympic - SCC Wins First Region Road Game of Year:
The Shoreline Community College Baseball Team won its first region road game of the year, 6-1 over Olympic College in Game 2 yesterday,, but could have had a sweep
, as the Dolphins led 3-1 in the bottom of 7th of the first game (7 inning game), but could not stop a OC rally and dropped the game, 4-3.
In Game 2, SCC fell behind 1-0 after the first inning, but SCC scored 2 runs in the 3rd and 4th innings and added single runs in the 8th and 9th for insurance in the 6-1 victory. SCC was outhit in the game, 10 to 9, but made their hits count more.
Layton Bush was the winning pitcher, throwing a complete game for the Dolphins, allowing 1 run (unearned) and striking out 5 in the game while leaving 10 baserunners stranded. Christian Estabillo had 2 hits for Shoreline, to include a double while scoring a run and having 1 RBI. Luis Delmar also had 2 hits for SCC and Matt Cottingham had a double.
In Game 1, SCC rallied for 3 runs in the 5th inning to overcome a OC 1-0 lead. Cottingham had another double with 2 RBIs and scored a run in that 5th inning rally. Daniel Cavanaugh had a double as well and 1 RBI for the Dolphins.
Ryan Garrett was the hard luck pitcher for SCC allowing only 2 earned runs in 6.1 innings, striking out 8 and being dominant until that ill fated 7th inning.
SCC is now 4-27 for the year, 3-15 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Olympic falls to 11-19 overall and 2-12 in the region.
The two teams met today at 1:00 PM at Meridian Park in Shoreline for a doubleheader. The Dolphins have 8 more games left in the season.

My story starts out in July of 2006 while I was working 12 hour shifts as a certified nurses aide. My breathing became harder at times and while at a doctor's visit with my husband, I told the doctor about my problem. He said i should have a chest xray and an electrocardiogram so the next day that's what we did. He told me the right side of my heart was almost twice its normal size. He said I should have an echocardiogram done and after that I was told I had stage 4 pulmonary hypertension (PH). I didn't have medical insurance. I had to go to a local county hospital where I was put on 4 liters of oxygen.
When I was approved for state medical assistance I was then sent to a specialist right away. I was put on Flolan and was told that the next and only other thing would be a heart and lung transplant. I have a great family support team and great doctors. After 4 years I was taken off of oxygen. Eleven months later I was taken off of Flolan and am still doing good. The only PH med that I am on now is the Letairis. Great things do happen and I praise GOD every day for finding the right doctors for me because prior to being diagnosed I was always told I had Bronchitis.

Bills-Titans preview
by Howard Simon
posted Oct 19 2012 6:00AM
I had to dust off the old time football handbook for this week's preview. Its time to talk about run and stop the run for Sunday's matchup between the 3-3 Buffalo Bills and 2-4 Tennessee Titans at a sold out Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The Bills have actually run the ball more often than I anticipated this season(48% of the time) but its time to dole out a heavy helping of C.J. Spiller. We've spent so much time talking about the deficiencies in the Bills passing game(more on that later) but despite the loss of two starting offensive linemen to injuries, the ground game remains strong and potent.
Forget about the rotation with Fred Jackson, who rushed back early from a knee injury to help the team because Spiller went down. Jackson sure doesn't look 100% while Spiller seemed to be back in top form during last week's win at Arizona. He averaged 7.3 yards per carry but was only handed the ball 12 times. Jackson had 16 carries and averaged 3.3 yards. For goodness sake, just give Spiller the ball, 20 or 25 or even 30 times if he's gashing the Titans run defense(ranked only 24th in the NFL).
As to the stop the run portion of the game plan, I have to tell you I'm worried. The Bills run defense looked much improved over the first three games of the season but has reverted to 2011 form over the last three games. Buffalo gave up an average of only 100 yards a game against the Jets, Chiefs and Browns. But Dave Wannstedt's group has been gored to the tune of 246 yards a game on the average by the Patriots, 49ers and Cardinals.
New England's rushing yards total against the Bills was 95 yards above their season average while San Francisco's was 135 above their average and Arizona was 99 more than their average through the first five games.
Perhaps this isn't the best time to face a running back like Chris Johnson but the Titans back doesn't appear to be anywhere near the player he was back in 2009 when he put together a 2,000 yard season. In four of the Titans six games, Johnson has been held to under 25 yards. He did look much better in Tennessee's upset win over Pittsburgh on October 11th, gaining 91 yards. Still, the Titans will come to Western New York ranked dead last in the NFL, averaging just 70 rushing yards a game.
Johnson has fared well against the Bills, rushing for 132 yards and two touchdowns during a Tennessee win in his magical 2009 season. Johnson bettered that individual effort by totaling 153 yards and two TD's when the Titans knocked off the Bills at RWS last season.
The Bills will need a strong run defense to help out their offense and they'll need a big game from Spiller to help out their struggling quarterback. In a season where the Bills brought in a quarterbacks coach to correct Ryan Fitzpatrick's mechanics, his game continues to go backwards. He's gone from a quarterback who was inconsistent on the deep ball but could get by with the short to intermediate passes to a quarterback who has no vertical passing game and is now spotty when it comes to those short and intermediate routes.
According to ESPN Stats and Information, the Harvard grad is 4-17(23%) on passes of 20 yards or more this season. That places him 30th in the NFL in that category. He has almost as many interceptions(3) from those distances as he does completions(4).
His confidence has taken a major hit and Fitzpatrick is beginning to show some Trent Edwards tendencies. According to Pro Football
, of the 153 passing yards Fitzpatrick recorded in the win at Arizona, 114 of them came after the catch. That means in "real completion yards" if you will, the distance from the line of scrimmage to the spot where the catch was actually made, his 18 completions traveled a total of 39 yards.
In addition, the chemistry between number one qb and number one wide receiver seems to be suffering. The frustration is clearly building for Stevie Johnson who is getting open but can't do much when the pass is off target. It could be worse, the Bills might not even be attempting to throw the ball to their best receiving option but Johnson has to be wondering about Fitzpatrick's abilities at this point. According to the official NFL Game Books, Johnson has been the target on 31% of Fitzpatrick's passes this season, more than any other Bill. Scott Chandler is second at 17% and Donald Jones is third at 14%. But Fitzpatrick is completing just 47% of those passes to Johnson.
The last few weeks got me thinking about a new quarterback handling the offense next season despite the large financial commitment the team made to Fitzpatrick. If the Bills decide to cut ties, they should do it this off season. Fitzpatrick is due a $3 million roster bonus in March of 2013 and another $3 million in March of 2014. His base salary for next season(which is guaranteed if he is on the opening day roster) is $4.25 million so the Bills are on the hook for over 7$ million next year. This after paying him about $21 million for 2011 and 2012.
If you go by the stats, Fitzpatrick would seem to have the chance for a good day against Tennessee. The Titans have the 3rd worst pass defense in the league(292 yards a game) and have recorded the 3rd fewest sacks(8). Opposing quarterbacks have completed an amazing 71% of their passes with 13 touchdowns and only four interceptions. A young group of linebackers who struggle in coverage combined with a scheme that has the safeties play extremely deep to prevent getting burned by big plays, has allowed teams to exploit the middle of the field and roll up the yards. It'll be interesting to see if the Titans have their safeties come up more since Fitzpatrick hasn't shown the ability to hit on the deep ball.
In defense of the pass defense, Tennessee has faced quite the gauntlet of quarterbacks as my colleague Jeremy White astutely pointed out this week. The Titans have gone up against Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers, Mathew Stafford(and Sean Hill since Stafford was injured in that game), Matt Schaub, Christian Ponder and Ben Roethlisberger. I'm guessing no other team has faced that kind of quality qb in every game.
Here are some other nuggets which might give you reason for optimism on Sunday. The Titans are 0-3 on the road this season, losing by 28 points to SanDiego, 24 to Houston and 23 to Minnesota. They've given up more points than any other team in the league(204) and their "best" game of the season was holding Pittsburgh to 23.
Apparently Coach Mike Munchak isn't the most inspirational guy in the locker room. Tennessee has been outscored 58-19 in the first quarter and 48-14 in the third quarter.
Join WGR on game day as our coverage begins at 7:00 with "Breakfast with the Bills". Jeremy White will broadcast from the field house starting at 8:00 as he brings you Bills Game Day. I'm on the air at 10:00 with Countdown to Kickoff. Turn down the TV sound and listen to John Murphy, Mark Kelso and Joe Buscaglia for the call of the game. Talk about it on the post game show with Schopp and The Bulldog and wrap the day up from 6-8pm on the Overtime show with Sal Capaccio.

The costume dance was held Oct. 26 in the school gym.
This year's fourth-graders finished a project they started last year as third-graders.

Many of the students tried to grow their cabbage, but some of the plants were enjoyed by a variety of critters or fell victim to drought. The winner on the class level is Tyler Ky.
The school once again is selling poinsettias. The red, white and multicolor plants are grown at Pantheon Homegrown Farms in Oconomowoc and range in price from $5 for a coffee cup size to $8 for a desktop size and $15 for a table size.

Same-sex couples get marriage licenses
17 same sex couples across our region apply for marriage licenses today as gay marriage becomes legal.
Those who picked up their licenses today will be able to tie the knot on Sunday.
Tri-Cities couple Santos Bethea and Erica Estavillo, say this is the best $57 they've ever spent.
This morning, the couple bought their marriage license in Franklin County, something they never thought they'd be able to do.
They say getting the small piece of paper is a huge relief.
"Much better, thought we had to go out of town and do it" said Bethea.
The couple became engaged after Referendum 74 passed last month.
The referendum gives same sex couples in Washington the right to marry.
"We were at my sister's house and I got down on my knees and I proposed to her to marry me" said Estavillo.
Stacey Miles is officiating Bethea's and Estavillo's wedding.
She owns Uniquely I Do - a small business catering to non-denominational weddings, and says she's honored to be part of the historical day.
"We've always offered commitment ceremonies to same sex couples, but again, this will be our first legal same sex ceremony" said Miles.
The wedding won't be large.
Bethea and Estavillo have only spent the last month planning for the big day - they say it has been a hectic past couple weeks.
"It's just gonna be a small wedding and it's gonna be at my sister's house in front of the Christmas tree" said Bethea.
The couple says even though they're looking forward to their wedding, they're very anxious to tie to knot.
"Nervous. Nowhere to run, no I'm playing" laughed Bethea.
Benton County saw the most same sex couples apply for licenses, with seven couples.
Six couples applied for licenses in Yakima County.
Two couples in Franklin County.
And one each in Walla Walla and Kittitas counties.
Marriage certificates have a three day waiting period, that's why the first same sex marriages in the state will take place on Sunday.

Theater teacher departs with thousands of memories
March 12, 2013
To go
Greeley Central High School, 1515 14th Ave., will present Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The King and I" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday in the auditorium.
The musical is about the relationship between a British school teacher and the King of Siam.
It includes the songs "Getting to Know You" and "Shall We Dance."
Advance tickets are $5 for students and $6 for adults; at the door they are $6 for students and $7 for adults. To purchase tickets call (970) 348-5093.
There are no favorite plays. There are no favorite scenes. There are no favorite roles.
For Mark Kolokoff , 54, there are only thousands of students during the past 26 years who have brought dozens of plays to life and kept the Greeley Central English and theater teacher excited to go to work each morning.
"It has been a fantastic run, an incredible time," said Kolokoff while sitting on the stage of his last production, "The King and I." "I am a blessed human being able to go to work every day and engage in something I am passionate about."
The memories are bittersweet, however, as he heads into this weekend's performance.
When the school year ends, Kolokoff will retire from Greeley-Evans School District 6 and join his wife Jeannette Kolokoff in Midland, Texas, where she took over as the Midland-Odessa Symphony Orchestra & Chorale administrative executive director in November.
He hopes to mentor a new group of teenagers.
"I am retiring from District 6, but I am not retiring from teaching or the theater," he said. "We agreed that when she finally got that job where she really wanted that challenge, we would make the decision to move on and look for new opportunities."
Hannah Esparza-Escobar, a senior who plays the lead role of Anna Leonowens, said she was grateful to have worked with Kolokoff all four years she's been at Central.
"At first, he absolutely terrified me," she said. "He had a reputation of being (hard) — really, really, strict. But he proved to be a down-to-earth guy who is really driven and cares so much for students and people who work with him."
He won't pick a favorite or a least-favorite show because he doesn't want former students to think he didn't care for them or their performances, but there are a few that stand out for personal reasons.
"The Death and Life of Larry Benson," he said took the students to a new level when they performed in front of 3,000 people at a conference.
"Children of Eden," he said was leap of faith.
"It was such a massive show," he said. "Just the magnitude of it all, telling the first nine books of the Bible, it really pushed my creativity."
That trait did not surprise Hannah, who said Kolokoff taught her to never back down from a challenge.
"He taught me that nothing is ever difficult," she said. "It will be sad."
Kolokoff said he could have never done any of it without the amazing teachers and administrators supporting him over the years.
"I have worked with some of the best people you could ask for," he said about his colleagues. "I have dealt with immensely talented students — talented, dedicated and passionate — a fantastic group of young people. It's been a special journey. When I think about some of the people who have come through here, I don't go with a sad heart."

An article in the Nation magazine written by Jeremy Scahill states, �I would not say that the CIA has been taken over by the military, but I would say that the CIA has become more militarized,� Philip Giraldi, a retired career case officer, told The Nation. �A considerable part of the CIA budget is now no longer spying; it�s supporting paramilitaries who work closely with JSOC to kill terrorists, and to run the drone program.� the CIA, he added, �is a killing machine now.�
�Giraldi noted on the �long term consequence� of the militarization of the CIA: �every bureaucracy in the world is best at protecting itself. So once the CIA becomes a paramilitary organization, there�s going to be built in pressure to keep going in that direction. Because you�ll have people at senior levels in the organization who have come up that way and are protective of what they see as their turf,� he told me. �That�s the big danger.�
In light of this, was Libya a CIA operation? Is anyone asking this question? Does anyone care to know the answer? Obviously not, the issue is who said what and when. That�s the sad part; we do not know what our government is doing. James Madison said, �a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives�.
We are powerless, we lack the knowledge of what the CIA is really doing. If the deficit is so important, is anyone inquiring into how much this militarization of the CIA is costing tax payers? These are some of the questions the Republicans should be asking. But they�re not asking these questions because they�re too busy performing in the political theatre of �pretend outrage� directed at Susan Rice.

new design for the Triumph 9--try it on first!
"Hmmm...well, I am a diehard Saucony fan. I have bought every pair of Saucony Triumphs and Rides for the last 4 years. This is the first time I've been a little disappointed with the Triumph. If I were close to a store and could have tried it on first, I probably would not have bought it. It feels different than the previous Triumphs. The arch lock is gone, the forefoot has more room than before (and it has always been roomy), and the heel feels tighter. It feels as if the heel pads are bent down and are digging into either side of my Achilles. It just feels funky compared to the last 4 Triumphs I've had. I'm going to try and make them work because I am too far from any locations to exchange them, and I won't be buying any shoes without trying them on ever again. That's what I get for not trying before buying!"

North Collins Highway Superintendent Charged with Vandalizing Car
Please enter your comments below.
This Is Not David Winter's Only Problem
There are a great many people in the North Collins area following this story with interest as David Winter is notorious for doing incredibly foolish, immature things and usually getting away with them. This latest manure incident was meant to be an act of vengeance towards the man his ex-girlfriend is dating. He was driving the town's vehicle at the time and the whole thing was recorded on the surveillance camera at the lumber store. He has caused immeasurable damage to the town in many ways - most notably the Rocky Mountain lawsuit that is ongoing. If you are not familiar, he dumped 10,000 cubic yards of road fill on private property without permission, and when the owner tried to put a stop to it, he lied to police that he had made sure it was town property and had her arrested. The town will now be on the hook for whatever settlement / award comes of it. Other offenses include hiring his own son to work on the highway crew, a drunken argument that ended up with him urinating on a police car, and other similar behavior. Oddly enough, even after he lost in the primary elections, and it was widely known that the voters' sentiment was heavily against him, he was able to win the general election in the very last hours before the polls closed. If any one knows of a way to investigate that election, it would probably yield information that would make these charges look like child's play by comparison.

Skip to comments.Shelves in Two Lousiana Walmarts Cleared When Welfare Recipients Thought They Were Getting Free Food
Posted on 10/14/2013 10:29:37 AM PDT by Q-ManRN
Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, It was worse than any black Friday that hes ever seen.
Lynd explained the cards werent showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldnt press charges if she left the food.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
This is another example of why poverty should not be handled by the government. When people have to depend on other people's charity in their local community they are humble. When a faceless bureaucrat in Washington D.C. is in charge, people just take more and more and think that they are entitled to do so.
And guess who gets to pay for all the overcharges?
Hint: it won't be the card users.
I think that without things like EBT we wouldn't have half the wal-mart stores we do.
takers who really think in their warped mind they should be given anything they want.
These people should be ashamed of themselves, but they don't know what shame is.
So true, but the American people are incapable of understanding.
IF odongo had a people, they would look like these.
Stalk my posts for hard numbers on that in MS alone.
They've put most of the local grocery stores out of business in these parts.
My initial reaction is... glitch? My hairy, pimpled *** this was a glitch. Anything to stir up "the masses" is openly being resorted to by this admin and it's fellow travelers.
After reflection... reaction remains the same.
This ought to serve as the perfect example of what happens when you have limited supply and unlimited demand. The ones lucky enough to get there first get everything, leaving everybody else with nothing.
You may be right, based on my observations at the Wal Mart check out counters.
Santa Claus? :)
The ones that ring Chicago even time their delivery of crap food to the replenishment of the LINC cards.
Wait to you see the "glitch" when those cards stop working!
They had to take the cheap cans of spinach that were left..
the early thieves got the T-Bones and the other good stuff...
Walmart deserves some of the blame here, too. They took advantage of the situation (read: mooched) just as badly as any of the customers...
THOUGHT THE WERE GETTING FREE FOOD??? They DO get free food
Agreed. It would be interesting to know the percent of sales attributable to EBT, WIC, etc. at the various retail grocery stores. They ought to have to publish that in their 10-Qs.
"Walmart deserves some of the blame here, too. They took advantage of the situation (read: mooched) just as badly as any of the customers"
Perhaps they just didn't want their stores burned down.
The real story here is that WalMart let folks take home groceries and goods without paying....because the folks were on the dole and (more than likely) black...
They would throw a white person not on govt assistance in jail if they did this
First its WalMart giving health benefits to Homos but heynot straight folks....now its pandering to welfare minorities
But...hey...it's all OK....because Free Trade Communist Liberals love WalMart.
The new meaning of, America! The land of the FREE!
Walmart deserves some of the blame here, too. They took advantage of the situation (read: mooched) just as badly as any of the customers...
Or they protected their people.
The low-information voters are barry-boy's brown-shirts. When he give the nudge, it will make the Night of the Broken Glass look like a picnic...
That was done over the weekend.
First they took away, then they gave in excess. There's a pattern there for anyone willing to pay attention.
But that will cost us more than the foods stamps were costing right? So offer them a suspended sentence if they agree to exile for the term of their prison sentence.
Then work out a deal with some third world countries. We'll send you people that are better educated than the average person in your country.
This will have several effects:
And if this works, duplicate the glitch in more cities.
Unfortunately, too many of us have been trained to only see these things as discreet and separate parts and not as pieces of the whole that they are.
these welfare democrat idiots are helping the media destroy America
The funny thing is that they used their Obamaphones to call each other for Free Stuff Day.
They are "ENTITLED " !!
Or, they wanted to profit handsomely off of a shopping spree by people who suddenly had unlimited access to other people's money.
I don't know about Wal-Marts, but I know that's true about the tons of mini-marts in central cities which sell liquor, lotto tickets and a few convenience items like, say, lobster.
Think about how many food stores are within 50 miles of where you live and think about the fact that the shelves can be emptied in just a few hours (as we've seen) by only a small percentage of the people that live in that same 50 mile radius. If the registers, coolers, shelving and etc. had been damaged, it could be weeks before those stores would be back in operation and food back on the shelves.
Worse, the shortage created by the first disruption can easily cause additional runs on food supplies when they become available. Probably not applicable to most FReepers now, but if you haven't prepared for the possibility of food shortage, better do so ASAP.
I also heard that when the correct card amount started showing up, word got out and shoppers fled, leaving food in the isles, still in the carts.
Typical "free stuff" voters.
What a mess we are in! Unfortunately there is no end in sight.
They buy a lot of pre-packaged food that can be sold for cash.
"THOUGHT THE WERE GETTING FREE FOOD??? They DO get free food "
And obesity is the number one health problem among the EBT crowd. I blame Obama for endangering their health by feeding their habit.
"it will make the Night of the Broken Glass look like a picnic..."
but picnics require food, which they can't supply on their own...and about 24 hours after they've emptied all the shelves in town, they're finished.
How did the word get out so fast, to get so many in the stores so fast?
the cockroaches, locusts and rats that are in America's larder stripping the wealth from those who worked for it need a dose of legislative DDT.
I know what you are saying.
Imagine for a moment that Walmart announced that they were going to stop taking EBT, SNAP, WIC transactions. Problem solved right? Do you think that Target would just stare at that pile of revenue and say "We wouldn't stoop that low"?
Maybe it is the politicians that have run a-muck buying votes with money taken from us at the point of a gun that are to blame?
You'll be able to easily spot the blue states...just follow the plumes of smoke
How to Get a Free Cell Phone (Obama Phone)
So they found something to motivate these shiftless bums into being active.

Preparedness for animal disease outbreaks has been a top priority for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) for decades. An outbreak of a highly contagious animal disease in Indiana may have economically devastating ramifications as well as public health or food safety and security consequences.
A foreign animal disease (FAD), or exotic animal disease, is a disease that is not currently found in the United States. The FADs of greatest concern could cause significant illness or death in animals or cause extensive economic harm by eliminating trading opportunities with other countries and states. These diseases would greatly impact the livelihood of Indiana's farmers and rural communities.
Several BOAH veterinarians, as well as the local U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinarians, have completed foreign animal disease diagnostician training at the Plum Island federal animal disease center in New York. This facility offers specialized, hands-on training in diagnosing animal diseases not known to exist in this country. Indiana's trained foreign animal disease diagnosticians are located throughout the state and are available 24 hours a day to investigate suspected cases of a FAD. An investigation is triggered when the State Veterinarian receives a report of animals with symptoms indicative of a FAD or when a diagnostic laboratory identifies a suspicious test result. The State Veterinarian assigns a diagnostician to investigate the case immediately.
Early detection of a highly contagious animal disease and prompt reporting are critical to a successful response. BOAH works with private practice veterinarians so they can identify the symptoms of these diseases when they examine farm animals. Suspected foreign animal diseases should be immediately reported to your veterinarian or an animal health official. To contact the Board of Animal Health about a suspected FAD,
call (317) 544-2401 Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm or (877) 747-3038 after hours.
"Don't Track It Back!" has been the biosecurity mantra of BOAH. The three-point campaign reminds animal owners of the most basic steps to biosecurity every livestock owner should practice:

Disaster Preparedness Training Opportunities for the Public
BOAH and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (formerly the State Emergency Management Agency) offer a number of training and education opportunities for Emergency Management, Extension, Animal Control, veterinary providers, producers and others interested in preparedness.
Purdue University Graduate Certificate Program in Veterinary Homeland Security
Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine presents the Graduate Certificate Program in Veterinary Homeland Security. The program is a cooperative effort among the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, the Indiana State Police and many others. USDA-APHIS has declared the curriculum in compliance with National Animal Health Emergency Management System (NAHEMS) Guidelines. The Veterinary Homeland Security Graduate Certificate Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals involved in animal emergency response. Individuals with expertise in veterinary medicine, public health, animal science or homeland security are encouraged to participate.

Warning: this review contains slight spoilers about what happened in the manga so far (actually, only about what specifically happened in volume 42..)
Part 1 of Review
Let's start from the beginning. The movie lasted from 9:35 to about 11:20, which makes it almost 2 hours long. It didn't feel long or boring though, which is a good thing. I'll say beforehand that - all in all - I liked it, thought I might be biased... XD;; But I do really think that they handled the characters fine, definitely better than in the other movies. As usual, some of them didn't make more than a "bonus appearance", but at least they made sense... Not like how Kakashi was used in the first Shippuuden movie..... (yes I disliked that part, though Kakashi vs the 3D soldiers made me laugh)
The first thing we see (note: I completely forgot about this part... I started the review with the soranin, then a long time later I remembered... Sorry Sasuke X°DDDD) is Sasuke sitting in a small cave behind a waterfall. The purpose of this scene is to make him look strong and cool, so he stands up (he's half naked, obviously) and goes towards the waterfall, he puts his head under the water (closeup of Sasuke's hair falling down with the flow; fanservice anyone? 8D) and makes a Chidori that flows down the waterfall and the river. ZOMGkewwwwllll *-* Lol. Whyyyy.
EDIT: Another thing that I forgot... When Sasuke appears the music playing in the background reminds of a western movie...... (you might undersand while I forgot it, lol) I remember the music playing another time too, later on, when Sasuke is around.. I'm tempted to buy the OST just to listen to that track and laugh X°DD
The first thing (my mind had censored the Sasuke part) The second thing we see are a few sci-fiesque 3D ships, kinda like spaceships on the water. I don't really love the 3D effect mixed with the rest of the animation, but this time it was a lot less disturbing than in the first Shippuuden movie (at least there was no Kakashi fighting agains- err did I already mention that? 8D). Flying ninjas came out of the spaceships and headed towards a village... Guess which? Yeah, Konoha! I don't know if you've happened to see the flying ninjas on the latest movie trailers, but anyway, they're flying with some kind of mechanical wings, not Dragonball-style (=just with their bodies).
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, the flying ninjas attack Konoha from the sky with bombs and destroy a few buildings. Many people are injured, some maybe die, but it's not clear because there's no blood around... I thought Japan wasn't afraid of scaring children with ommmmggggg blooooodd eeekkk evilll but oh well... Foreign broadcasters will be happy, they won't have to censor the scenes themselves
We see random known faces helping people, that is Chouji, Neji, Shikamaru and Kakashi. Neji does us the favor of explaining how the flying ninja fly, and Shikamaru is even so kind as to give them a name, that is "soranin" (I don't know if he just invented it or he knew that they come from the Sora no Kuni, aka Sky Country). Apparently they concentrate chakra on the mecha wings or something like that. Smart, isn't it? Tsunade explains that Konoha confronted and destroyed (well, supposedly) the Sky Country during the last Shinobi World War, but obviously they survived and now they're angry and want to get revenge against the Fire Country, zomg, can't you sense the depth of this plot???
Naruto is walking through the rubble, when he spots a middle-aged guy that turns out to be a doctor and treats the wound of an injured man. Naruto takes the man to the hospital, and there we meet Sakura and Hinata who are taking care of the wounded. A boy that basically has "I'm this movie's main original character" written all over his face suddenly enters from the window. He's looking for his sensei but he faints. Guess who his sensei was? Yeah, that man from the rubble, Shinnou.
Apparently the boy has come all the way from his village to inform Konoha that they'd been attacked, and he was looking for the sensei to help cure the people who ended up injured. A special 3 people team is formed and sent to help the village. Since they're supposed to help cure the inhabitants, the team is composed of Naruto, Sakura and Hinata (plus Shinnou and the boy, Amaru). For a moment I thought "UGH I can sense the NaruHina fanservice..." but in fact there was almost nothing of it, luckily. On the other hand, there was lots of NaruSaku fanservice (well, Saku->Naru actually!), which kinda made me happy (Sorry, but if I have to choose a [het] pairing, I'm all for NaruSaku ;p)
The team travels on small rowing boats down a river, because the forest is full of eerie beasts and poisonous animals. Suddenly a soranin appears above them, so they hide by the riverside. The boat with Naruto and Amaru is too far from it, thus Naruto throws both of them in the water not be spotted. When the soranin goes away Naruto resurfaces, but Amaru gets caught in the weeds while he's trying to retrieve his precious scalpel (which was obviously a present by his beloved sensei. Did I mention that he's Shinnou's apprentice?). Naruto saves him, and when he does he finds out something: Amaru has boobs! 8D Amaru quickly zips up his vest (no [s]he wasn't naked, but you could see the shape of his errr her boobs under the shirt). Naruto blushes and then faints because a poisonous piranha-like fish had bitten him...
When Naruto wakes up he's still blushing, also because Amaru is sucking the blood out of the wound, which is very high on his thigh.... This scene is kind of disturbing, I mean, it reminded me of the last line from the end of Shippuuden's 1st movie (in short -> "Naruto, let's have babies!"). Are the movie writers still having fun with adolescentboy!Naruto? XD;;; Anyway, maybe I should take back what I said about Japan not wanting to scare children, LOL...
Thanks to Amaru's sucking medical ability, Naruto is safe and sound. They walk through the forest towards the village, and in the meanwhile Naruto tells Amaru that he noticed he's a she, plus he suggests that she might be in love with Shinnou. He obviously gets slapped hard in the face... (as always in the movies, Naruto is more of a comical relief than he is in the manga). They finally reach the village, but something unexpected is waiting for them...
Cliffhanger! Let's go back to Konoha for a moment... (Actually I think this part was way earlier, but I don't remember the exact point so yeah) After the attack, the soranin went back to their base because they didn't have enough chakra to keep on flying around, so another special team was sent to look for the location of said base. We see Sai approaching the ships on one of his ink birds, apparently to catch their attention according to some plan Shikamaru thought. Shikamaru and Kakashi are waiting on the shore, hidden behind some rocks. Sai has no problems dodging and taking out all of the soranin that attack him, which is a bit errr weird? I mean, ok, they only sent a small squad against him, but still, if he alone was able to do that, how come Konoha was so overwhelmed by the same ninjas just a moment earlier?? But anyway, we'll ignore this (and all the similar things that'll happen from now on, lol).
Before going back to Naruto & co... I have the feeling this part was way earlier too, but anyway... XD;;; We see Sasuke in Orochimaru's lair. Orochimaru is sitting in his bed, evidently ill, and Kabuto is standing beside it. Kabuto tells Sasuke that the soranin are attacking Konoha, and he obviously answers that he doesn't care. Orochimaru orders him to go and get a man who will able to help him perfect his reincarnation jutsu. Guess who the man is, lol...
Back to Naruto's team. When they reach the village they find out that it's been burnt down and the inhabitants are nowhere to be seen. Amaru starts to cry and runs around, looking for the people. She inadvertently tramples on a trap and a bunch of kunai flies towards her, but Shinnou steps in and protects her. He falls down, his body pierced by kunai here and there. Sakura, Naruto and Hinata run to the scene, but it's too late and Shinnou dies.
...Actually... Basically, you see Sakura and Hinata going there right after Shinnou has been pierced, but they only start to treat him after Amaru has yelled for a while "no please don't leave me" blabla... Why? I mean, aren't they supposed to run to him and start curing him right away??? They were like, standing there while he was bleeding and dying... XD;; That was a bit weird, but anyway... (I think the people sitting around me thought that weird too, because I heard some mumbled comments here and there, lol)
Amaru is very sad for the death of her sensei, but they have to keep on looking for the villagers (they find no corpses, so they assume they are alive somewhere, maybe hidden). In the meanwhile, Sasuke is in the area too, slashing random snakes in the forest (he really is too mean to animals ). I wonder how he knew that Shinnou was there, but oh well...
I don't exactly remember how they ended up separated, but at one point Hinata is gone and Naruto & Sakura finds themselves in front of an evil monster/spirit thing which claims to be a creature that feeds on the darkness coming from human souls, and has basically taken over Amaru... Obviously, they have to fight her/it. It's kinda like a big tentacled worm or something like that. They sure like tentacles in the movies... (But Kishimoto likes them as well, after all)
Sakura is taken out right away (did you have doubts?), so Naruto is left to fight alone. The creature grabs him and senses that he has a huge dark power hidden inside of him, thus he taunts him and tries to make him use it, mentioning that he's not able to save anyone without using it, that he couldn't even save Sasuke etc etc (yeah these creatures always seem to be able to read people's minds, lol, it's useful...). Naruto is having a hard time, and I bet at least half of the people in the room thought: "Will Sasuke jump out of the bushes and save his ass?". I also feared that for a moment (it would've been too cliché, I wouldn't like that ), but this was not the case...
Since they just HAVE to show off the Kyuubi every single time, the creature manages to force Naruto to transform not only into usual Kyuubi, but even into the 4-tailed one... He fights for a while, ya know, just to show how cool he is when animated by the movie team, then he reverts to normal because of a protective seal which was given to him by Jiraiya (via Sakura). This part is a bit, errr, unlikely, because even if Naruto were able to go back to normal only by having that in his pocket, he should at least be very very tired, not to mention wounded or about to faint, but he was none of that...
Talking to Amaru, he manages to convince her to ignore the darkness in her own heart, and the creature vanishes. Sakura is fine, she wakes up [in Naruto's arms] and punches him in the face because she's embarassed that he was looking at her. I told you that this movie is full of Saku->Naru moments! Anyway, they decide to part ways. Sakura will go to Konoha to ask for support, and Naruto will go to look for the villagers (and Hinata). Amaru was supposed to go with Sakura but since she's the main OC she stays with Naruto because she wants to help him.
They reach some old ruins (something Shinnou talked about) and enter them. While Sakura is going away she turns around and sees the ruins take off and fly away. Yeah... It kinda reminded me of the last Indiana Jones movie, lol. Anyway, in the meanwhile, in a room deep inside the flying structure, surprise! A safe & sound Shinnou is mumbling evilly about conquering the world thanks to the power of the darkness or something like that. WTF, you might think, but indeed, if Orochimaru said that he knew something about resurrection etc, it makes sense that he wasn't that good of a character XD; Anyway, although his death looked too hasty, I personally didn't find it so obvious that he would turn out to be the movie's bad guy.
Naruto and Amaru reach the room. Amaru is happy that his sensei is alive. She runs to him and hugs him, but Naruto senses that something is not right... Shinnou doesn't even pretend to be good, he just makes fun of them (especially Amaru) for trusting him. He throws Amaru on the ground and starts to act like a real villain, that is explaining he's been researching on the power of darkness for about 15 years and that he's finally found in Konoha the only thing that he was missing to complete his work, that is a secret scroll with a reincarnation jutsu or something written on it. That's also how he escaped death: he basically deceived Sakura and Hinata's medical abilities and then regenerated his body.
And now.... Transformation!!! This just had to come, lol. He transforms into, err, a big muscled man with naked chest and long spiky hair. He looks like a mix between a caveman, Hulk and a Super Saiyajin 4 (he only misses the fur around his chest). He and Naruto start to fight, but he's too strong and Naruto gets beaten around a lot. A lot. A LOT. I mean, for a long time they keep on fighting and it's just the Super Caveman 4 beating Naruto around and Naruto standing up again and going at him again and again. Though you might be happy to know that Naruto makes a Rasengan without using Kagebunshin at least twice (plust another time later on)
SCM4 (too long to type) tries to convince Naruto to use the Kyuubi's power, but he doesn't want to. By the way, Amaru is still on the ground crying. Because you see, the sensei was SO good to her... When she was little she was an orphan and had a weird illness, so nobody wanted to be close to her because they feared that they might be infected, but Shinnou cared for her and managed to cure her, and then made her into his disciple and even told her that he was proud of her, awwww! Moving, isn't it? 8D
Naruto tells Amaru that despite everything she shouldn't throw away her feelings toward her sensei, on the contrary, she should express what she feels. SCM4 comments like a villain would do, that is "Love will bring you nowhere, love is stupid, darkness is cool, blabla", but Amaru is eventually convinced by Naruto and tells her [ex-]sensei that she likes/loves him (considering the age of the girl and the sensei, all this thing of her being in love with him was a bit errr... Especially since it's supposed to be a movie for children XD;;; It was very platonic, but still @_@)

Summary : This voyage combines the comfortable adventure cruises of Classic Antarctica with visits to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and spectacular South Georgia. Join professional photographer Paul Nicklen and learn some tips of the trade for capturing the surreal beauty of the White Continent. Many of the wildlife (penguins, whales, seabirds and seals) and scenic highlights of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands are included as well as the best of these two wildlife-rich sub-Antarctic islands. These expeditions are designed to include as much wildlife viewing as possible, but also include visits to scientific bases and allow plenty of time to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of icy waterways, glaciers, and icebergs.
Activities : Birding, Culture, Hiking, Kayaking, Photography
Prices from
$999,999,999 to $0
Due to the size of the continent, Antarctica's diversity is best appreciated on longer voyages, where greater distances can be covered. This extended expedition encompasses the wildlife paradise of South Georgia, the remote Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) as well as the extraordinary beauty of the Peninsula. Overnight at a hotel in Ushuaia.
Prior to the afternoon embarkation in Ushuaia, visitors can explore the southernmost city in the world. The former prison for hardened criminals and political dissidents has been converted to a museum. The shops and cafés will be open for last-minute purchases or for a moment of relaxation.
There are many activities to keep you engaged while you are at sea. You could learn to identify the seabirds that glide alongside the ship, or attend the illustrated presentations by the Expedition Team. They will prepare you for the shore landings and Zodiac cruising that is to come.
Renowned for its amazing wildlife, the archipelago highlights include Flightless Steamer Ducks, Magellanic and Gentoo Penguins and a colony of the rare Black-crowned Night Herons. Peale's and Commerson's dolphins are often seen along the coast. Nearby New Island boasts fantastic Rockhopper Penguin rookeries, along with Black-browed Albatrosses and Blue-eyed Shags. You may also explore Stanley, the charming capital of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). Don't miss the chance to visit the small, but interesting museum.
Continuing east, marine mammals and seabirds lure you to the decks as you cross the Antarctic Convergence, a biological barrier where cold polar waters sink beneath the warmer waters of the more temperate zones. Keep your eye out for whales and seals.
Sharing many of the biological characteristics of Antarctica, South Georgia has awe-inspiring scenery with towering, 7,000-foot mountains and mighty glaciers, but also low-lying, grassy areas, deep fjords and beaches. First sighted by Captain James Cook in 1775, the island attracts an astounding concentration of wildlife and is viewed by many as one of the most inspiring places on earth.
Thousands of King Penguins greet you at Salisbury Plain. Wandering Albatrosses nest at Prion Island, where luxurious tussock grass provides a habitat for a variety of seabirds - and camouflage for thousands of breeding fur seals. Huge elephant seals, King and Gentoo penguins crowd the beaches along the coast at places such as Gold Harbor, while Light-mantled and Sooty albatrosses nest in the cliffs behind. The island also played a significant role in the story of Shackleton's epic journey after the sinking of his ship, the 'Endurance.' It was here, at the whaling station of Stromness that he finally arrived after a harrowing voyage in a small boat from Elephant Island across the Scotia Sea and over the never-before-climbed mountain range of South Georgia. Visit his grave at Grytviken, a once-active whaling station.
Two days at sea to relax, as well as to review your adventures in South Georgia. The first icebergs appear on the horizon as you head south to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Approaching the rugged South Shetland Islands, your first landfall could be Elephant Island where Shackleton's men found refuge during the epic 'Endurance' expedition. Places such as King George Island and Livingston Island support huge numbers of nesting penguins while seabirds nest in the cliffs and elephant seals wallow along the shores.
Deception Island is still considered an active volcano and sailing through the narrow passage into its huge, flooded caldera if possible with be a thrilling experience. Sailing around the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, you navigate the Antarctic Sound, often referred to as 'iceberg alley.' Huge tabular icebergs drift north from the Antarctic continent.
Your plans may also include a landing at Port Lockroy where bleached whale bones commemorate its time as a favorite anchorage of the whalers. Sail into Paradise Harbor on the Danco Coast where a series of huge glaciers flow into quiet waters. Zodiacs take you along rugged cliffs with nesting Cape Petrels, Blue-eyed Shags and Kelp Gulls. Keep watch for humpback whales and groups of crabeater seals on the ice and you may land at Almirante Brown, an Argentine research station located on the continent. Lemaire Channel is another narrow passage between towering rock faces and stunning glaciers. This channel is one of the highlights of a visit to the Antarctic Peninsula, but it can be choked with icebergs and pack ice.
After more than two weeks of endless wildlife encounters, your journey home begins. Crossing the Drake Passage is your unofficial rite of passage, which will complete your Antarctic adventure.
Enjoy some final moments mingling with your fellow travelers. The noisy, busy, populated world awaits your return, so savor the silence of the sea as long as you can.
After breakfast aboard, you will be transferred to the airport for your homeward flight.
Read this itinerary as a guide only; the exact route and program varies according to ice and weather conditions - and the wildlife you encounter. Flexibility is the key to the success of this expedition.
