Island of despair: Flames done
Jean Lefebvre
March 26 2010 09:57AM
Six percent.
That's an outstanding figure if you're talking about body-fat content and an annoying one if the subject is taxation rate, but as Calgary Flames fans will attest, it's an absolutely depressing number if it's the playoff chances for your favourite hockey club.
The probability-projection gang at Sportsclubstats.com calculates that the Flames' post-season hopes are now down to 6.5 per cent and the only reason they're that high is that there is no mathematical way to calculate the effect of losing to an out-of-the-running team whose blue-line brigade includes names like Dylan Reese and Mark Flood. It's on the basis of that miserable loss to the Islanders that all but the most blindly loyal of Calgary supporters has disembarked the S.S. Positive Thinking and started rowing to the shores of the lonely island they called home from 1997 to 2003. You know, that spot where spring never comes.
Nassau Coliseum is already the place where Doug Weight's career went to die and now the old barn has also claimed the Flames' season.
There'll be plenty of time for dissecting and recriminations in the days and weeks to come, but for now suffice it to know that one of the immediate consequences of the "it's-over" reality is that real conversations are actually happening that suggest Eric Nystrom is a more fitting choice for Flames captain than Jarome Iginla, who had a disturbingly passive and ineffective game on that fateful Thursday night on the Island.
Suddenly, it doesn't seem to matter so much that teams haven't been giving the Flames much out-of-town help when facing the Detroit Red Wings (who are 6-0-1 in their last seven) and Nashville Predators (7-1-0 in the past eight). Let's face it, how can you bitch about being screwed by other teams when the Flames are doing such an exquisite job impaling themselves on their own spears?
Since the Flames started their on-the-fly rebuilding project by cutting ties with The Dion, Calgary has won 10 games and lost nine, hardly the stretch of inspiring play needed to overcome a three-month stinkfest from November trough January which saw the local heroes win just 10 times in 29 tries.
Now that the Flames' goose is all but cooked, the volume of the second-guessing on in-season trades will be cranked up to 11. Losing Christopher Higgins to sick bay didn't help and reality suggests it would have been wrong to expect more from the likes of Jamal Mayers, Steve Staios and Ian White (although that should have been as true for Darryl Sutter before he agreed to make the deals as it is for Flames fans now) but Ales Kotalik has been awful enough to make the Olli Jokinen era in Calgary seem like the good old days.
That Three Million Dollar Man (for two more years!) Kotalik has one goal and two points in 18 games while throw-in defenceman Aaron Johnson has three goals and five points in 10 games for Edmonton . . . well, you go ahead and finish that sentence.
Speaking of that team to the north, it should probably now be the off-season for that favourite sport of Flames fans -- kicking Oilers supporters while they're down. True, Edmonton has been out of contention for many weeks now, but at least the Oilers:
- Have the consolation of knowing a top-notch prospect (Hall? Seguin? Fowler?) is coming their way in June and
- They're not on the hook for paying Staios $2.7M in 2010-11
We now return you to your regularly scheduled debate about Darryl Sutter's continued viability as Flames GM.
All I could think of when I was reading this was a quote from Saving Private Ryan:
"Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson." :)
It's going to be a long offseason with a ton of question marks...
March 26 2010, 10:23AM
Good picture choice, although I also could have gotten behind something featuring a shuffling zombie or a giant FAIL stamp.
March 26 2010, 10:33AM
i actually disagree on kotalik... sortof.
don't get me wrong ---i'm certainly not a fan of the guy, but he's not a liability defensively like jokinen was. ie: he doesn't bleed goals against, but he sure as hell doesn't net any, either.... sure, i hated olli as much as the next guy but the thing i liked best about him was the expiring contract. the thing i hate most about kotalik ? that we're stuck with him for another two seasons at three mil per (with a no trade clause to boot).
anyone that says sather is the worst GM in the league should consider the fact that he duped darryl something fierce... so did tambellini/lowe for that matter.
and that is not something to be proud of.
Welp... at least there's a bunch of cap space opening up this summer with Jokinen coming off the books... and they can look at moving Phaneuf for some help up front... maybe they could package up a d prospect like Keith Aulie along with Dustin Boyd & a 3rd round pick for something more useful...
Based on the perdicament the Flames are in I have drawn 1 conclusion, that being that the H1N1 shot has no impact on the strength of a power play.
Is it too early to ask your opinion on the big question you implicitly raise: does Darryl survive this debacle?
Is it too early to ask your opinion on the big question you implicitly raise: does Darryl survive this debacle?
I'll go on record as saying he gets a stern talking to and a warning that if there's a repeat of this next year - he's done. I can't see them giving him the ax quite yet.
Why let a guy trade Phaneuf if you're going to fire him 3 months later? Why let a guy sign Bourque to a 6 year extension if he's getting his walking papers? Why let a guy sign Matt Stajan to an extension if he's toast at the end of the year? Why let a guy add an aging veteran that's getting paid twice as much as he's worth?
I mean, there's a lot of things that haven't made sense (or cents) lately, so who knows? But given the Flames relationship with Darryl, I doubt he gets his pink slip just yet.
As a long-time D. Sutter supporter (San Jose & Chicago days), I'm hoping for the best... but I'm not about to hold my breath quite yet. If he can lose at least Kotalik & Sarich and/or Staios, then I'll start holding my breath again.
March 26 2010, 12:08PM
If I had to bet money, I'd say the stern talking-tos have already happened.
It's consequence time for Darryl.
Based on the perdicament the Flames are in I have drawn 1 conclusion, that being that the H1N1 shot has no impact on the strength of a power play.
HAHAHA! I like it!
All joking aside the coffin is nailed shut, cemented in the ground and barried on this season. No to hand out walking papers!
March 26 2010, 12:09PM
@Jean Yeah, Bob wins the thread I think.
@Kent Wilson
So you think they're gonna pull the trigger? I'm not down there, so its hard for me to gauge the vibe, but they paid Keenan this past year to not coach... do you really think they'll pay Brent & Darryl (and the rest of em) to take a hike? I'll be somewhat shocked if they do. Depending on who the replacements are, I may applaud such a move, but until then, I say keep the VikingCru for another year.
Makes me wonder what would've happened if the Flames went the Dave Tippett route last summer and Brent went back to Red Deer. Tippett and Tom Renney were two guys I had hoped for last summer. Brent is too much like Keenan, who's too much like Playfair, who's too much like Darryl. They needed a calm teacher, not a hard-a$$.
Ultimately I agree. He has failed to put a product on the ice that will win a playoff series (regardless of opponent) for 4 years and they wont make the playoffs this year.
To say he has time left because they let him do all of these trades that affects the team long term is irrelevant. I imagine ownership outright told him this is your last chance and I want to see what you can do with full control. Why keep him around and have his head to the barrel and about to pull the trigger if your not going to grant him control to do that? If that was the case he should have been replaced months ago.
I would say with 90% certainty he is likely gone. This team will be hard pressed to get rid of Kotalik, Sarich, Staios (combined 9.3 mill approx.) If they can and add an impact forward through trades or free agency (im liking Marleau and Frolov) I think they will improve.
To discuss a more pressing matter after seeing how little Iggy cared last night in comparison to Nystrom, Staios (believe it or not), Dawes, Sarich, and Mayers, maybe its time to start questioning leadership. The support players have all changed. This is a talented group and look at what Colorado and Phoenix are doing with way less. Coaches has changed 4 times with limited difference I think this goes back to Iginla. Bourque is a sweet player and likely my favourite on the team but he should never be considered your best or most consistent player.
Ill never forget when Moss and Bourque (on 2 separate occassiona) were surrounded by opposing players and roughed up. Staios jumped in, sarich did too. Iggy skated the perimeter and litterally looked like he couldnt care less. Thats not a guy who leads by example.
I would propose taking a page from SJS and taking away the 'C' and making it fair game for someone to earn. I like Regher myself and Nystrom truly is growing in my mind. Hell be the greatest 2 million dollar captain ;) the NHL has ever seen lol.
Other than that I dont know what else it could be.
@Brent G.
If you yank his C you might as well trade him and for my money why not have Sutter do that, hes the villian at this point anyways.
@Kent Wilson, Brent G., RossCreek, Jean Lefebvre
2 yes, 1 no, 1 maybe so.
I ask because I'm truly curious about how these types of upper management decisions are made. Personally, I have that same, sinking, Mike-Keenan-is-done feeling from last year.
I also think Brent G. and Kent are right: authorizing trades is irrelevant and/or a sign of desperation. Give your guy authority to trade, but cut bait if need be. Sutter's been here for 6(?) years - including the crucial transition to the "New NHL."
@RossCreek Whatever the Sutter brothers are making is probably small potatoes in the overall scheme of an NHL operating budget.
That being said, I'll be curious to hear the blogosphere conversations on this one.
March 26 2010, 01:03PM
Why let a guy trade Phaneuf if you're going to fire him 3 months later? Why let a guy sign Bourque to a 6 year extension if he's getting his walking papers? Why let a guy sign Matt Stajan to an extension if he's toast at the end of the year? Why let a guy add an aging veteran that's getting paid twice as much as he's worth?
all very good questions... perhaps we should ask richard peddie/mlse/the pension fund why jfj was allowed to manhandle the leafs for eons.... i would think it might offer some comparable insight.
March 26 2010, 02:15PM
what's with all this negitivity? 6.5% rounds up to 7% not 6%. Come on man, the flames have a 7% chance, don't sell them short.
It may to early completely write off the team. That being said playing mediocre hockey will make it an inevitability in due time.
The D Sutter discussion is not too early to start. Hockey is a business, that means people involved should be held liable. It's up to top management to provide a direction for the coaches and players to implement it. D Sutter did some good earlier but has peaked and currently regressed in terms of success. I don't know who a viable replacement is or even if their is one but using the players inability to produce as an excuse to protect the GM is problematic.
I don't think trading Jarome is the answer, it may have a similar effect on the team like the Oilers when Smyth was moved.
I've dealt with the Flames not making the playoffs all those years as a kid (remember when it was un-cool to like the Flames). Now I'm dealing with them being average teams with occasional glimmers of hope. D Sutter will have had over half a decade worth of influence at the end of the season with no tangible results except the one playoff run and a division title. Nothing past the first round post lock out. How much time more time do you give him?
March 26 2010, 04:21PM
So the radio guys spent the whole afternoon not talking about the Flames. Pathetic. Boomer and Pat must be scared they will get beat up if they are negative.
Furthermore, I think Peter Loubardias should be fired.
March 26 2010, 09:37PM
I think that Sutter has one more year. First off, the Flames are one of only a handful of teams in the league that have made the playoffs every year since the lockout; despite the lack of playoff success.The northwest has been considered one of the toughest divisions until the last two years and they have had 4- 45 win seasons? They're still selling out, memorabilia is selling, so I think Sutter is safe for one more year. If they perform like this next year then I would say there will be a housecleaning.
If Sutter does get canned it is because of his woeful handling of the cap, especially last year.
flames suck
Well i think that it is too early to underestemiate the team even though they are 6 points behind detroit for 8th place but flames will make it... GO FLAMES GO!
"If Sutter does get canned it is because of his woeful handling of the cap, especially last year."
I really think the Cap issue last year has been over blown. Yeah, the Flames had to play with a short-bench for the last few games... so what? It's not like the five minutes a game that Andre Roy et al provided would have delivered the margin of victory. all that means is that over the course of a game everyone else on on the team had to play an extra shift or two. Really if you want to lay blame for last year look at the late season injury woes (I mean c'mon we had Adam Pardy, the presumptive #7 d-man, playing top 4 minutes and John Negrin fresh out of junior level hockey in the line-up).
Also put me on the side of a partial Sutter Exodus (Brett can stay... I guess). Really the Sutterite Colony just messed things up royally this year. I'll grant that it was mostly Daz fault since I attribute most of the woes to personnel mismanagement... lopsided dollar allocation, poor Draft Pick to NHL'er conversion ratio, generally poor trading record (Still wondering what lunacy made him do the Jokinen/Prust trade... no matter how disappointing Joker was he's better then Kotalik and he would have given you 5M in cap space in two months) but Brent has made his share of head scratchers too (Keeping Joker/Iggy Phaneaf/Regehr together, Giving Regehr/Staois PP minutes (WTF), playing the 4th line when you've been given primo ice position via an icing call (WTF x2), an anemic PP (the PK wasn't too bad but damnit the flames were one of the best teams in the NHL at that last season).
The Sutter boys decided that this was "win now" time and they sacrificed the future to make it so... except that instead of "win now" situation they made a "lose now" and the future doesn't look too bright.
Folks : why is there so many people that want Calgary to loose in here? Are they the loosers themself? or is it just to complain .Guys, get the f over it . For myself I just want to see one more canadian team in the play-off and I hope the heck it is Calgary .Give them your support Go Flames Go Good game last night against wash>
March 30 2010, 10:45PM
I'm not saying that I want Darryl to stay, but I am saying that I think he will. I would agree that the injury mess was to blame for a lot of the problems last year, but we've been at or near the cap every year and next year doesn't look much better now when it could have been pretty good. Love the Kotalik trade...brilliant move!
I know I will get lynched for this, but what has Brent brought that Keenan didn't. Our special teams are the same, PP sucks, PK is pretty good. Last year we were in first until we got a bunch of injuries and then went backwards into the playoffs. This year we were first until we had a 9 game losing streak mid-season and practically blew our season. This team is more inconsistent than I have ever seen, the players seem dejected and morale is low. What's the difference?

Read the FDA Approves Fluad Seasonal Influenza Vaccine article »
(Influenza Vaccine) Intramuscular Injection
FLUARIX, Influenza Vaccine, for intramuscular injection, is a sterile colorless and slightly opalescent suspension. FLUARIX is a vaccine prepared from influenza viruses propagated in embryonated chicken eggs. Each of the influenza viruses is produced and purified separately. After harvesting the virus-containing fluids, each influenza virus is concentrated and purified by zonal centrifugation using a linear sucrose density gradient solution containing detergent to disrupt the viruses. Following dilution, the vaccine is further purified by diafiltration. Each influenza virus solution is inactivated by the consecutive effects of sodium deoxycholate and formaldehyde leading to the production of a "split virus." Each split inactivated virus is then suspended in sodium phosphate-buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution. The vaccine is formulated from the 3 split inactivated virus solutions.
FLUARIX has been standardized according to USPHS requirements for the 2014-2015 influenza season and is formulated to contain 45 micrograms (mcg) hemagglutinin (HA) per 0.5-mL dose, in the recommended ratio of 15 mcg HA of each of the following 3 strains: A/Christchurch/16/2010 NIB-74XP (H1N1) (an A/California/7/2009-like virus), A/Texas/50/2012 NYMC X-223A (H3N2), and B/Massachusetts/2/2012 NYMC BX-51B.
FLUARIX is formulated without preservatives. FLUARIX does not contain thimerosal. Each 0.5-mL dose also contains octoxynol-10 (TRITON® X-100) ≤ 0.085 mg, a-tocopheryl hydrogen succinate ≤ 0.1 mg, and polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) ≤ 0.415 mg. Each dose may also contain residual amounts of hydrocortisone ≤ 0.0016 mcg, gentamicin sulfate ≤ 0.15 mcg, ovalbumin ≤ 0.05 mcg, formaldehyde ≤ 5 mcg, and sodium deoxycholate ≤ 50 mcg from the manufacturing process.
The tip caps and plungers of the prefilled syringes of FLUARIX are not made with natural rubber latex.
What are the possible side effects of influenza virus injectable vaccine?
Influenza virus injectable (killed virus) vaccine will not cause you to become ill with the flu virus that it contains. However, you may have flu-like symptoms at any time during flu season that may be caused by other strains of influenza virus.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. If you ever need to receive influenza virus vaccine in the future, you will need to tell your doctor if the previous shot caused any side...

The life of the Holy Prophet, peace be on him, was a life of grand success. In his high moral qualities, his spiritual power, his high resolve, the excellence and perfection of his teaching, his perfect example and the acceptance of his prayers, in short, in every aspect of his life, he exhibited such bright signs that even a person of low intelligence, provided he is not inspired by unreasonable rancour and enmity, is forced to confess that he was a perfect example of the manifestation of Divine qualities and was a perfect man.

Also everyone assumes that to obtain the mangekyou sharingan you need to kill your best friend, if that is the case then why did madara and his brother achieve it through work alone? it makes more sense to assume that you obtain it from a mental change or mental anguish in which case itachi would only have to have witnessed his best friends death.

|In response to Re: Copper Pipe
In some areas type M is the material of choice for above the floor plumbing. Whether it is a problem for you may not be apparent for several years if ever.
: During a recent repair to a boiler-mate (BM)in my home I discovered what appeared to be very thin-wall Type M copper pipe (~1/32-1/64). I compared what I found with another section of scrap I had available and found an alarming difference. After much consideration I figured that possibly either electrolysis or some acidic reaction was taking place, none of which happened to be the case. I talked then to some local plumbing supply stores and was informed that I built my home the same time some inadequate Type M copper was being retailed. It appears that I've plumbed either my entire home, or atleat, a sizeable portion of it with this thin-walled Type M copper. Three questions; How does this pipe get stamped or labeled, "Type M", copper, have you even heard of a problem such as this, and could you have another reason to support my discovery.

The Buffalo Bills and Rogers Media Inc. are taking a sabbatical from their annual National Football League game in Toronto to re-evaluate the series, officials announced Wednesday.
The Bills have played one game in Toronto each season since 2008, losing five of the six at the Rogers Centre in front of predominantly placid crowds.
After last season's 34-31 overtime loss to Atlanta, team President and CEO Russell Brandon said he would do everything within his power to create a winning atmosphere for the franchise, including a review of the Toronto agreement.
"The Buffalo Bills and Rogers are committed to delivering a first-class NFL experience to Canadians, Brandon and Keith Pelley, president of Rogers Media, said in a joint statement posted on the Bills website. The statement also said all eight Bills home games will be played at Ralph Wilson Stadium this season.
"We will use this time to collectively evaluate opportunities and build on the foundation to enhance future games."
The Bills have four games remaining on their second five-year contract agreement with Rogers Media.
The Bills and Rogers are committed to their partnership and have secured a robust sponsorship agreement for the coming season that will bring Canadians visibility and access to the Bills, the statement said.
The sponsorship includes ticketing, merchandising, media exposure, and a new Canada House near the Orchard Park stadium that will serve as the official pre-game Canadian tailgate zone for all Bills home games.

Domestic Furnishings
Washboards, armchairs, lamps, and pots and pans may not seem to be museum pieces. But they are invaluable evidence of how most people lived day to day, last week or three centuries ago. The Museum's collections of domestic furnishings comprise more than 40,000 artifacts from American households. Large and small, they include four houses, roughly 800 pieces of furniture, fireplace equipment, spinning wheels, ceramics and glass, family portraits, and much more.
The Arthur and Edna Greenwood Collection contains more than 2,000 objects from New England households from colonial times to mid-1800s. From kitchens of the past, the collections hold some 3,300 artifacts, ranging from refrigerators to spatulas. The lighting devices alone number roughly 3,000 lamps, candleholders, and lanterns.

A Wild Turkey Hunt
- Description (Brief)
- This print is one of fifteen chromolithographs that were included in the 1889-1890 folio "Sport or Fishing and Shooting" published by Bradlee Whidden of Boston and edited by A.C. Gould. These prints are based on watercolors that were commissioned for the publication, and illustrated by prominent American artists. Each folio illustration was accompanied by a single leaf of descriptive text followed by an account of the depicted sporting scene. The publication was advertised as having been reviewed for accuracy by a renowned group of anglers and hunters prior to printing.
- This print was originally titled and numbered on the text page as 9. A wild Turkey hunt. R.F. Zogbaum. It depicts a young man lying in the grass aiming his rifle at four turkeys. A young Indian guide is crouched behind him.
- The artist was Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum (1849-1925), known for his images of horses, cowboys, and battle scenes.

Congressional Attacks on the Clean Air Act
Below you will find a compilation of resources on defending the Clean Air Act against:
In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken a series of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the carbon pollution that is a major cause of global warming, from stationary sources (such as power plants) and mobile sources (such as automobiles). These actions fall under the authority of the federal Clean Air Act. EPA has also promulgated other standards to reduce air pollution—such as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards for power plants—that provide indirect climate benefits by encouraging companies to build and operate newer, more efficient power plants. Unfortunately, the use of the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon pollution and other types of air pollution has been under attack from lawmakers in both parties. As corporate polluters and their allies in Congress continue to attack EPA's ability to set air pollution standards, a broad range of constituencies—business, faith, environmental, sportsmen and women, community development, Latino, and more—have called on Congress to oppose efforts that block these strong safeguards to protect our public health.
Senate Threats to the Clean Air Act
Opponents of the Clean Air Act are active in the US Senate, introducing legislation and offering amendments to undermine or completely block life-saving public health standards to reduce air pollution, including carbon pollution that is causing global warming. Thus far, defenders of the Clean Air Act have succeeded—with great effort—in fending off these attacks. To learn more about past and present attacks, click on the tabs below.

Spoiler!Ah... this flashback has been long coming
So So
Spoiler!Ah... this flashback has been long coming
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
edo tensei confirmed to be cast with ability to lessen or limit the power of the summoned. sarutobi indeed fought watered down versions of hashirama and tobirama. case is finally closed!
ive been waiting for orochimaru taking the zetsu to be noticed
glad it was hadhirama because he doesn't seem too worried that oro now has mokuton at his disposal.
i am really curious what can happen even physiologically with hashi and zetsu clones in close proximity.
orochimaru is clearly playing them for fools! he took zetsu, has sasuke and hashirama in the same room.. if madara has the cursed seal then oro woild be about within the final stage of the most epic plan in all of naruto! he now has two options for each bloodline. senju, he has absorbed zetsu and edo hashi in the room. uchiha, sasuke at his side and the possible cursed seal takeover with immortal edo madara. if oro is careful he could pull it off and get all the top power to himself! all the ingredients right where he wants them. the stone tablet is almost within his reach!
wood dragon was epic and it appears to react to bijuu chakra. it became a new energy entirely when it absorbed the bijuudama and a counter being sprung from the mokuton and whalloped the susanoo!
cant wait for next week!
p.s. if uchiha brains produce special chakra at the onset of despair that results in sharingan, what sort of analog occurred for the senju? great chakra boosts at the onset of joy?
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
Lol this chapter should satisfy all those who were complaining about Hashirama's personality in the last chapter.
The flashback to end all flashbacks, Primera: Hashirama vs. Madara! At last, it has begun.
Will we survive it...
(Flashback to end all flashbacks, Segundo: Void Century! We can always dream...)
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Fuck u rokudo sennin go first hokage in serius mode
Kick me high, hit me low, spit on me it's gonna take more than that to break my soul.
Good chapter, although it felt a bit short. A small foreshadowing here atleast. Orochimaru said he would/could release them to fight Madara. Depending on Sasuke's choice. Also, Hashirama said he would remove the evil in Sasuke. I see Sasuke's redemption in reach. And a full blown edo-kage vs Madara, Tobi and Jubi fight
Great chapter, the wood dragon grabbing the Bijuu bomb and using it to punch Sussanoo is a sick move.
I am a little confused about the interaction the 1st and 2nd had early in the chapter. Did the 2nd power up his chakra and as soon as he raised his hand to attack the 1st busted loose and smashed the place up and told him to lower his hand? Or was it that the 2nd busted the place up? i didnt get that bit.
We also have a pretty definative answer to why they chose the Uchiha hideaway, as it is like the room where naruto fought Kurama - Chakra is completely sealed off from the rest of the world, ensuring no interuptions and no one could sense them - but whoever smashed the place up broke the seal and made it so they could sense Naruto.
I finally get to see the most epic fight in all of ninja history. Even more so than the sage vs the Juubi. I have waited so very long for this. Ever since I saw their statues at the VOTE when Naruto fought Sasuke. I just jnew they were exceptional ninja by the looks of them.
● Now its confirmed, Sasuke IS having second thoughts on his revenge. He now sees 2 options, either take revenge OR .. something else. Seems a little bit odd to me that he could change his mind so easily.
● What is even more odd is the fact that even Orochimaru himself is starting to shed his dark side - he said, that depending on the answer of Hashirama he might help Sasuke destroy the Leaf. But the way I see it, he is eagerily waiting for Hashiramas answers just as much as Sasuke bcs even Orochimaru has grown to have second thoughts about his villianity.
● I absolutely cannot wrap my head around this new Orochimaru, its just not him anymore. More so, I think Im going to be very dissapointed if it turns out that Orochimarus parents died bcs of the Leaf.
● Some serious DBZ moment in this chapter, earlier many people saw the senju brothers like the dynamic duo from DBZ - Vegeta and Goku. This chapter deepens that analogy. When Hashirama raised his chakra to intimidate his brother I couldnt help but think that it was just like in DBZ where characters would constantly raise theyre "Chi" and everything around goes flying and crumbling.
● To silence the critics, Kishi made Tobirama say "earlier you summoned us with low power, unlike now .. bla bla". Casual readers surely wont make any fuss about this stuff, but Im going to nitpick and say that it was just a "cover story" to hide a plot hole.
● Whatever the answer will be, I can already see that Sasuke vs Naruto is in jeopardy .. even if it happens then it surely lost a lot of merit since Itachi and Hashirama "warmed up" Sasuke so much that Naruto doesnt have to do much himself.

Just the right size
"I bought this small clutch in black for a ball. It was the perfect size for all of my essentials (cell phone, makeup..etc). It comes with shoulder straps however I didn't use them. The little diamond detailing on the top gives it a little flare but not so much that it's overbearing."

The Emery County Sheriff's Office employees have been participating in putting in a yard for Lisa Johnson the wife of fallen warrior, Jeremiah Johnson. The project began with the leveling of the land and the hauling in of top soil which was distributed throughout the yard. A sprinkling system was installed and then sod was put down by volunteers from the sheriff's office. A number of local businesses contributed to the endeavor by donations of parts and materials. Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon said, "We will also be planting trees when the weather cools off and we will be paving the rear driveway to the house. We really appreciate all of the help we've had on the project from the people in our office and those out in the community who have offered their services to the project."
At the San Rafael Pro Rodeo on July 25 and 26, Jeremiah will be honored during the grand entry.
Jeremiah's father, Randy Johnson will open the rodeo on Saturday night with the singing of the National Anthem.

"I usually love Mia and have 5" platform booties that are fantastic but these boots are very uncomfortable. The slope of the heel and slightly narrow toe box places all your weight/pressure on the ball of the foot while squeezing your toes together. A recipe for awful foot pain if you spend any length of time standing or walking. The leather is fantastic quality but the sole is a little 'rugged' or casual looking for the leather."

Police officer's killer was convicted felon who can't legally have gun.
INDIANAPOLIS — The provider of a gun used to kill an Indianapolis police officer could face federal charges and up to 10 years in prison, according to a U.S. attorney.
Steven Byrdo, 24, killed the Indianapolis Police Officer Ron Bradway, 41, on Friday during an exchange of gunshots after the officer forced his way into an apartment when he heard a woman scream for help. Byrdo also died.
STORY: Indy officer killed during domestic call
Lawyers in U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett's office recently prosecuted three other men who provided guns to convicted felons who later used them to wound or kill police officers.
"I will tell you without equivocation that our philosophy toward this type of crime has not changed," Hogsett said.
Hogsett said he is not aware whether investigators know how Byrdo obtained the gun used in the shooting. Federal law prohibits felons from buying or possessing guns. It also prohibits the transfer of a firearm to a felon.
Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs said federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were quick to arrive on the scene of Friday's shooting and assist with that part of the investigation.
In July, Riggs said pinpointing the origin of guns used in crimes was a priority for local police — a goal he emphasized again Sunday after Bradway's death.
"Obviously, we're getting more assistance in this case involving an officer," Riggs said. "But it's something that both Chief (Rick) Hite and I are committed to."
Kendale Adams, a spokesman with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, said tracking the gun will take time.
The most recent action in one of the federal gun cases came last month when Eric "Boo" Jenkins was sentenced to 57 months in prison. He provided felon Thomas X. Hardy with the gun that Hardy used in January 2011 to fatally shoot Officer David Moore.
Moore had been the most recent officer killed in the line of duty until Bradway was fatally wounded early Friday.
Hogsett's staff also has prosecuted:
• Scott Griffy of Terre Haute, Ind., who provided the gun Shaun Seeley used to kill a Terre Haute police officer, Brent Long, in July 2011.
• Tarus Blackburn Jr., who provided the gun that Demetrious Martin, 23, used in the December 2011 Indianapolis Officer Dwayne Runnels. Runnels did not die.
Hogsett's staff won convictions in all three cases. Like Jenkins, Griffy was sentenced to 57 months in prison. Both were convicted felons, which should have precluded them from having a gun in the first place.
Blackburn, who did not have a prior felony record, was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of supervised release after pleading guilty to the "straw purchase" of the gun Martin used to shoot Runnels. Martin was killed in the exchange of gunfire with Runnels.
Hogsett said Blackburn knew that Martin was a felon and couldn't legally purchase a gun.
"Though you didn't pull the trigger, your actions put the gun in the hands of the person who committed this dastardly act," U.S. District Judge William T. Lawrence told Jenkins before sentencing him last month.
All three cases had common denominator, Hogsett said: The person who provided the gun later used to shoot a police officer "had reason to know that it was extraordinarily likely that the gun would be used in a crime of violence."
The federal cases highlight two of the most common ways criminals, who legally cannot obtain a gun, skirt the law: sales or trades on the street and "straw" purchases. In the latter, a person who can legally possess a gun purchases one and resells it to someone unable to make a purchase.
Hardy traded drugs to Jenkins to get the gun he used to shoot Moore, Hogsett said. Blackburn and Martin went to a gun store, he said, where Blackburn bought a gun. After the purchase, Blackburn resold the gun to Martin.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Barry Glickman, who headed the prosecution of Jenkins, said at the sentencing that Jenkins gave Hardy the gun though he knew Hardy was looking for revenge against a man who ripped him off in a food stamp sale.
"All Mr. Hardy talked about in those days before was getting Butchie and putting a cap in him," Glickman told the judge. "If Mr. Jenkins does not put that gun in Mr. Hardy's hands, Mr. Moore is with us today."
Jo Moore, David Moore's mother, said after the sentencing that she hoped the sentence would be a deterrent to others.
"I pray it does make a difference," she said. "I hope it sends the message that if you make a bad decision and give a gun to a felon, you will be prosecuted."
Hogsett's staff did not stop at Griffy in the killing of Long. It also prosecuted Brad "Pappy" Keller, who provided Griffy the gun. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release.

Theme: Cities & Suburbs
Artist: Trevor NICKOLLS
Birth/Death: 1949
Title: Machinetime Dreamtime
Credit Line: Purchased 1982. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
'My life revolves around painting and drawing. I incorporate Aboriginal and Western techniques and symbolism to make contemporary art that relates to both cultures today. My paintings are to share with everyone. I look to bridge the gap between Western and Aboriginal art My work is a balancing act, like walking a tightrope between my dreams and my life when I'm awake — from Dreamtime to Machinetime.'
Trevor Nicholls, 1990 In his painting Machinetime Dreamtime of 1981 Trevor Nickolls was continuing a series of works based on the theme of alienation. The differences between cityscape and landscape underpin the sense of grief Nickolls feels about the loss of traditional Aboriginal society to an industrialised urban culture.
Two perspectives, one from above and one from the ground, represent these two worlds. Nickolls uses traditional Aboriginal patterning and divided composition to portray the crowded living conditions of many urban Aboriginal people.

Kubo showing him in a flashback, might mean that he will join the next battle against Quincy, seeing as many Shinigami have died and they need to fill their spots.
I guess Aizen wasn't vary of Zaraki for nothing. It might have been Aizen's end if Zaraki were to return to his old self. If Aizen and Zaraki met as kids, Aizen might have chosen a different path, since he became like this because he was lonely, or something, well he was strong the moment he was born and had no one stronger to look up to (it was something like that).
I wonder if the SK had illegitimate children.

A hormone naturally found in the body that declines with age, DHEA converts itself into estrogen and testosterone. Natrol DHEA may help support overall health and may help promote healthy aging. Natrol DHEA Highlights: Promotes a Balanced Hormone Level 100% Vegetarian DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is one of the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. After being secreted by the adrenal glands, it circulates in the bloodstream as DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) and is converted as needed into other hormones. Where is it found?DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands. A synthetic form of this hormone is also available as a supplement in tablet, capsule, liquid, and sublingual form. Some products claim to contain "natural" DHEA precursors from wild yam. However, the body cannot convert these substances into DHEA (although a series of reactions in a laboratory can make the conversion). About NatrolNatrol is driven to become the most desired nutritional supplement brand by creating products that support your healthy life. Given this goal, consumer needs are central to their focus. Natrol's mission is to deliver nutritional products with uncompromised quality, service, and innovation through the best that science, nature, and technology can offer.

Italy, day seven
I was impressed with Angela's attitude. She seemed so laid back in the midst of this effort that was burying me in much smaller doses, and she appeared to be truly enjoying herself. Anne unfortunately was hurting, and during our bakery excursion decided she should drop from the race to avoid cementing a reoccurring case of plantar faciitis. I walked with her back to the base as she explained to all of the departing racers that she was dropping out and they all enthusiastically encouraged her to sleep on it first. Amazing attitudes, all of them. I also saw my friends Steve and Harry just before we reached the life base. They seemed extremely out of it and initially reacted like they didn't even recognize me. I warned them about the rough climb ahead and Harry insisted that the trail to the first refugio "wasn't steep" because it didn't look that way on the elevation profile, even though I had just told him I was actually there two hours earlier and personally clocked it gaining 1,200 feet in three quarters of a mile. I didn't feel compelled to argue with him, because in a race like this, denial can be an effective strategy. I left my friends and began the long-way-around drive to the next life base and the long night ahead.

The winner of the TDG finished in about 80 hours, for an average of less than 2.5 miles per hour — hiking pace. Even factoring in average stops, the top guy probably maintained a moving speed slower than 15-minute miles, among a strong field of 500 people. So, yes, the TDG is a trekking race, not a trail run in the traditional sense.
I will say that I have never encountered trails quite like this anywhere in North America. They're old, eroded, boulder-strewn and cut directly up these huge mountains. They even make the established routes in Alaska's Chugach Mountains look comparably flat and mellow. To an average to beginning runner like myself, the TDG trails are almost entirely unrunnable, whether I'm traveling five miles or 200. Even the best technical runners would likely have a hard time holding on for 200 miles. It's definitely a race that favors strong hikers with good endurance and better knees.
