Hi guys! Today is week two of the read- along for Masquerade by Cambria Hebert.
About the book:
Before. Everything was so much better Before. I wasn't haunted by nightmares, my place at school was secure and my face was flawless. Now, I'm a freak and everything has changed. The worst part is that I can't remember the night I was sentenced to the shadows. The memory has been stolen from me and I just can't shake the feeling that someone, something is out there -watching.
Just when I think I have my life handled, Sam, with his intimidating golden stare and shiver inducing voice, makes me realize that I don't know anything. He makes me see that my scars don't matter. That they never mattered. I can't help but fall for him, completely unknowing that he knows exactly how I got this way. Not knowing he was involved.
Heven has no idea how closely death stalks her. She has no idea what I have done to keep her alive. I fear the day she learns my secrets, finds out what I really am. But even then I cannot stop, I vow to make things right. Finally her hunter will be hunted, Heaven and Hell, faith and sin will battle, and we will be victorious. But first, Heven must learn to be what she never imagined. I know her strength is there – I feel it. If we are to overcome all odds, she must push past her flaws – her frailties – to become much more.

Chapters 8-16
5 discussion questions:
1. Sam is admittedly drawn to Heven before they even meet. Why do think this is?
I'm not sure about this yet, I guess it's just a vibe he gets from her or something?
2. In an earlier chapter The Hope states that Sam must prove himself. During these chapters Sam does some things – bad things – (covering up murder, fighting, hiding a body, etc.) all to protect Heven and his true identity. Do you think he was right to do these things?
I don't really understand how it's protecting her other then the fact it would scare Heven really bad and make her re-live her 'incident'. So I guess I'm not quite sure yet if he's doing the right thing by hiding it. However the police would just end up getting hurt themselves (or it's likely anyway) so I guess he may be protecting more then just Heven in covering things up.
3. In chapter twelve Kimber says some thing's to Heven that make the reader wonder about their friendship. Do you think there is any truth Kimber's drunken confessions? If so where do you think Heven and Kimber's friendship goes from here?
I don't know. I was so furious at Kimber and I think Kimber was speaking her true feelings. And my anger makes me want to tell Heven to just give Kimber the cold shoulder for awhile. But Kimber was there for her when no one else was (even though it was Heven's fault for that as well). So I'm torn about what I think.
4. Heven is changing, becoming more confident. Do you think that after something like this (her accident and disfigurement) happens to someone that she can ever go back to the person she was before? Do you think she will want to?
I think even if she gains her confidence back she'll always remember how she felt and she'll have more compassion towards people. So no, she'll never be the person she was before, she'll be a better person.
5. Toward the end of these set of chapters, Heven finds out Sam's secret, who he really is. She has a strong reaction. Do you think you would react the same way? Why or why not?
NO! I felt like she WAY overreacted! But he never should have 'shown' her. He should have told her and given her a little time before she saw him change. But I guess he got all the scary right out there right away.
I think I would have known I could trust him and I would have waited to hear what he had to say. And if she hadn't been so upset and listened better maybe he wouldn't have been so fast to show her and if he had been still I wouldn't have bolted like she did.

The goby has fast become a favorite forage for bass in many lakes and rivers throughout the country. Berkley scientist have worked hard to develop a bait that will meet the demands that anglers have when gobys are a food source. The 4" Gulp Goby is the size and shape of the real thing and with the Gulp scent captured in every bait, it is simply irresistible to bass. The soft natural texture of the Berkley Goby helps insure that the fish will hold onto the baits longer when battling rough water situations. The 4" Gulp Goby can be effectively fished by nose hooking them on a dropshot rig or on a jighead. When gobys are part of the food chain you better have the 4" Gulp Goby as part of your arsenal.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
interesting how the shadow is in contrast to what we have seen of rogue, he whole business seems unclear, i guess appropriate for a shadow dragon...hope the next chapter is kickass fighting maneuvers...also interesting to see how jellal and team came to a different conclusion from FT, jellal did mention that they had been sensing Zeref-like presence in the previous games, if they are right, maybe Crime Sorcière can have their atonement
Hmmmmmm, what if beside Future Lucy, there is an impostor Future Lucy as well ? Still, it's really strange, rather than using eclipse to stop the dragons, isn't eclipse the thing that will bring them ?
So, the Dragons allowed themselves to be killed and their Lacryma absorbed, so that they could fuse with humans and later on take control, summon the rest of the dragons and attain their true forms later on ? That shadow seems quite hateful to the DragonSlayer.
Was Rogu'es right eye always covered by his hair ?
It seems that neither Sting nor Rogue were using their true powers, which were supposedly able to top real Dragons.
Hmm so Sting and Rogue are gonna awaken now hmmm. In the stats book it showed Rogue was stronger than Sting so I do hope he does something impressive and shadow related.
I think Lucy is lying rather than a fake, we already went through a whole arc of fakes/duplicates of everyone, and id rather not do it again lol. But I am excited to see Gajeel get serious next chapter. I hope we get to see the dragons, get to see all the originals and hopefully Sting and Rogue are lying and they never really killed their dragons so we can see what a light and shadow dragon looks like!
They better join FT after all this lol and Lucy better get all her keys!
A pie in the sky?
SO their might be two future Lucy's walking around?
Maybe a shadow dragon can make a shadow clone of Gajeel...
great and now we've got a bleach clone
I would like to see Gajeel take on both Sting & Rouge in their strongest form, that would make up for missing the last battle and it would also show the twin dragons that Gajeel can give them a worser beat down than Natsu.
What if the future Lucy was indeed a fake Lucy, maybe the 2nd eclipse plan was plan to eradicate the herd of dragons who came not exactly to destroy the kingdom but save it from the demons. Or maybe the real future lucy is still somewhere trapped or imprisoned. If I'm not wrong, the festival is a battle among dragons, men, and Demons, am I?

USA TODAY markets reporter Matt Krantz answers a different reader question every weekday. To submit a question, e-mail Matt at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: What kind of first-quarter earnings growth are investors expecting?
A: Investors may have high hopes for stock prices. But there's not nearly as much optimism for corporate earnings.
Investors currently expect companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index to report 0.5% higher earnings in the first quarter, says S&P Capital IQ. That's quite a letdown considering that companies turned in 7.7% earnings growth in the fourth quarter.
TRACK YOUR STOCKS: Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
But perhaps even more troubling is just how quickly analysts are cutting their expectations. In October, analysts thought corporate profit growth for the first quarter would be 6.2%. That earnings growth expectation fell to 3.7% as of January to the 0.5% now.
Meanwhile, companies themselves aren't giving investors much to be hopeful for. Of the 109 companies to give guidance on the first quarter, 73 are negative and 26 are positive. That's above the long-term average, indicating expectations going forward aren't so great.
But as usually the case, investors are more bullish about the back half of the year. Analysts are calling for 7.1% and 9.2% growth in the second and third quarters, setting them up to expect 7.5% growth in all of 2013.

|In response to Re: Poly Pipe Settlement
The standard as stated below by "hj" is incorrect. For totally accurate information, contact:
Consumer Plumbing Recovery Center 800-356-3496 http://www.kinsella.com/polybutylene/
We have replumbed more than 8,000 homes. I am speaking with some authority.
: The standard is that if you want copper, you have to pay the difference, and since the contractors are working fairly cheaply to install the CPVC, they usually inflate the copper price. It is up to you whether it is worth the difference. As for type L copper, it is the standard for commercial jobs, but residences have been traditionally piped with M and have relatively few problems with it. And if a contractor is going to give you L at the same price, then he was overpricing the M.
: : After years of dealing with the poly-pipe I am finally going to get my pipe replace.
: : But here is the problem. When I started talking to the people who are subcontracted to handle the claim and to the plumbers who are handling the job, I was being told that CPVC is all that will approve. I pressed a little further and the people handling the claim (not the plumber), admitted that it was my choice to have copper or CPVC. Well, I said that copper is my preference and make it "L" copper. I only said L copper because that is what one of their representatives said I should ask for (the guy that came out to inspect the water coming up from the foundation!). To make a long story short, they first lie to me about CPVC-- that is it the only thing they will approve. Then they say copper is really my choice, but now it is M. I have read the settlement and it says that it is the home ower's decision as to the type of system. Now I get a letter saying that they are going to deactivate my claim it I don't tell them what I want in 7 days (they have dragged their feet for nearly 6 months since the foundation leak). I have talked to a guy on our street and he got L copper with no cost to him.
: : So, finally, here is my question. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT IN THE COX CASE THAT GOT "L" COPPER? If you, or anyone you know has received "L" copper please email me ASAP. Thanks!
: : Please response to: firstname.lastname@example.com

That comment came from Seychelles UN Ambassador Ronny Jumeau at today's Many Strong Voices side event in Cancun.
There are negotiations and there are side events. The former is where the official business is done. Side events are where ideas beget conversations that lead to meetings which in turn can produce language for negotiators, project ideas or new alliances.
Many Strong Voices held a side event on Food Security and Human Rights in the Arctic and Small Island Developing States. Ambassador Jumeau pointed out the common interests of the two regions that might on the surface seem remote and as different from each other as sand and snow. He succinctly summed up the matter: "When ice melts at the poles people in the tropics use their homes. We have as much at stake in saving the ice as in the Arctic as people there have."
Jumeau was one of four speakers at the event, organized by GRID-Arendal and the Centre for International Climate and Environment Research – Oslo (CICERO), the two organizations coordinating MSV.
Patricia Cochran is an Inupiat from Alaska and is head of the Alaska Native Science Commission. She is also co-Chair of the Indigenous Peoples Network on Climate Change and Sustainable Development, which includes Indigenous Peoples from around the world. She and her colleagues are working to ensure that the new climate change convention recognizes the rights defined in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Patricia talked about the combined threats to food security from contaminants, oil and gas and mineral development. She pointed to National Tribal Subsistence Workshops in Alaska that focussed on questions of whether food is safe to eat, what effects on culture are there from contaminants in food sources, and there needs to be recognition of tribal rights and jurisdiction.
Kirt Ejesiak is the recently elected vice-president of the Inuit Circumpolar Council – Canada and travelled from Iqaluit, the capital of Arctic territory of Nunavut, to Cancun to get the message out about the urgent need for action given the rapid rate of climate change in the Arctic.
"The impact of climate change on food security is a vital challenge and a particularly critical one for vulnerable regions such as the Arctic," said Ejesaik. "The impact on food security is not only on food quality and quantity but also on health, culture, transportation, infrastructure, and trade."
Ejesiak identified four accepted dimensions to food security:
- Availability or adequacy of supply
- Accessibility and affordability -- traditionally harvested or store bought
- Use, quality and safety of food
- Stability or sustainability of supply
"How the Arctic responds to this crisis may well provide valuable directions to others and by participating in programs such as Many Strong Voices, the Arctic can work together with other vulnerable and remote communities to find solutions to the food security challenge."
Margreet Wewerinke talked about the need for recognition of the connection between human rights and climate change. "There is an obligation to respect and protect," said Wewerinke, who is part of the Human Rights and Climate Change Working Group, an alliance of NGOs trying to get human rights language in the text being discussed in Cancun.
Wewerinke said that respect for the human rights of people in the Arctic and SIDS is integral to a future climate change treaty. "Human rights adds the human dimension to climate change. Each human life is valuable."
All the side event participants talked about the fact that climate change and food security is a complex issue, and one that needs to be approached from a number of angles and perspectives. Jumeau pointed to water, and its scarcity in his home country, as underpinning people's ability to access food.
Seychelles is "down to 20 days of drinking water" due to a severe drought that has seen rainfall reduced to approximately 10% of normal levels. Reservoirs are drying up. Desalination is replacing natural water sources, an expensive option in a country heavily reliant on imported food and where tourism is the main source of income. "Tourists take a shower every time they come in from the beach," the ambassador said. Keeping the water flowing is an expensive proposition because hotels are required to operate desalination plants and the fuel and infrastructure costs get passed on to tourists, raising the price of an already expensive trip to the Seychelles.
Water shortages also affect the second largest industry, the tuna cannery. If it closes, 3000 people out of a population of 85000 will be out of work, a huge portion of the workforce.
"No matter what you do, the costs of food will go up all because other people have messed up the atmosphere," Jumeau said.

In the Seychelles the fishermen are being forced to change their fishing methods as a result of climate change. Rising surface temperatures mean that they must fish deeper, where the cooler water and fish are. They must also fish for longer periods of time and they report that the fish they catch are changing shape as a result of the warmer sea temperatures (Photo credit: Lawrence Hislop)

2011: Health Policy Year in Review
In 2011, the Health Policy Division not only continued its multitude of successful programs (the Urology Joint Advocacy Conference, the creation of new guidelines, and AUA Coding Today to name a few), but we also introduced many new notable achievements. see more>>
Availability of Medicare Claims Data for Performance Measurement
The AUA and the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU) will co-sponsor the 7thAnnual 2012 Urology Joint Advocacy Conference (JAC) from March 4-6, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. This year, we have moved the conference only steps away from the Capitol to make it more convenient for attendees and Members of Congress alike. This highly successful and popular conference continues to grow in stature and is the only national conference designed to teach Members of Congress about issues unique to urology. The JAC attracts numerous Members of Congress and senior legislative and federal officials and provides attendees with access and perspectives unique to Washington. Plus, Members of Congress have taken note of the growing presence of urology on Capitol Hill.
The broken physician payment system, along with mounting regulations, remains a challenge for medicine. The legality of the individual mandate – a crux of the healthcare reform legislation – is in doubt as the Supreme Court gets ready to hear the case just several weeks after we gather in Washington. The recent recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) against PSA testing magnifies the growing power unelected officials.
CMS Issues Meaningful Use Participation Data
On December 7, 2011, the Health Information Technology (HIT) Policy Committee of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) conducted a briefing on the participation of healthcare providers in the 2011 Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program, commonly referred to as Meaningful Use (MU).
Christopher Gonzalez, MD, MBA, FACS, after an open and competitive process, has been selected as the next Health Policy Vice Chair. He will begin this position following the conclusion of the 2012 AUA Annual Meeting, when current Health Policy Chair Steven M. Schlossberg, MD, MBA, steps down and David F. Penson, MD, MPH, ascends from Vice Chair to Health Policy Chair. Dr. Gonzalez was selected by a Board-appointed task force led by AUA President-Elect Dennis A. Pessis, MD.

NHTSA — Equipment: Electrical Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Chrysler has taken the boring small car frame of the Neon, grafted a 1930s-era roadster body on top and named it the PT Cruiser. While the new look may appeal to some, the vehicle has unfortunately also inherited many of the same problems as the Neon.

Curry powder is a blend of many spices and the flavor varies with the blend and various spices used. Those labeled "Madras" are hotter than those simply labeled curry powder. Experiment with different brands and blends to find the one you enjoy the most. If you are not familiar with the flavor in the particular blend you are using, use the minimal amount of curry powder at first, then taste it near the end of the cooking period and add additional curry powder to taste.
Substitute couscous for the cooked rice, if desired. You might also top the curry with other typical toppings, such as raisins, coconut, or chutney.
To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until almonds begin to brown, then stirring constantly until almonds are light brown.

Huntington City Council met for its monthly meeting in city hall on Sept. 24. Councilwoman Hilary Gordon presided in the absence of Mayor Jackie Wilson.
Jeff Adams, from the SouthEastern Utah Association of Local Governments, was present to award Huntington City the 21st Century Community Award. Adams said that the council had worked very hard to accomplish this goal, and that he felt that everyone involved in the process had learned valuable tools for preparation for the future. Rural Utah is experiencing the fastest rate of growth in comparison to the size of the communities.
Gary Price, representing the Emery County Horse 4-H program, introduced five of the young people who participated in the program. Misha Johnson was first to do her presentation. She talked about what she has learned from her involvement in horse 4-H. Among the many things she mentioned, was the value of learning how to teach horses how to do the things a rider wants. Her horse, Gypsy, has learned new skills, and both horse and rider are improving.
Mandy Langston explained to the council the 17 ranks of the horse 4-H program. Cammie Whittle showed the council her portfolio and explained how each section is constructed. Amy Langston told the council about the state competitions that the group attends. Andrea Price informed the council of the community service projects, such as cleaning highways and painting bleachers, that the 4-H has done.
Gary Price told the council that there is an enormous amount of interest in horses in this county and that the young people involved work very hard to accomplish the things they have. He said that community support is extremely important to the group and asked for that support to continue. There are approximately 70 members of the Horse 4-H group countywide.
The council approved a $200 yearly budget amount for the Horse 4-H program. Several of the council members expressed their appreciation for the program and noted how valuable it is for young people.
The stray dog problem was discussed. There are several areas in the city where several dogs run loose and those dogs have no collars and no licenses. It is becoming a safety concern as the dogs are chasing children and adults. The council urged concerned residents to come into city hall and file a complaint if they encounter a problem with a dog. This is the only way the problem can be addressed and solved.
Another item approved by the council was that in the future all business license application will go before the planning and zoning board for review before coming to the council.
Gordon explained to the council that she had been to a meeting which concerned the enforcement of zoning ordinances for smaller towns. Each town in the county has its own ordinances and it is very difficult for the county zoning administrator to enforce all the ordinances. The SouthEastern Utah Zoning Enforcement Association (SEUZEA) has been organized to look into making the ordinances more uniform throughout the county and begin enforcement more regularly. The issue will be discussed at length at the next meeting.
Jimie Jones explained the questionnaires required by the codification company. The company needs to know exactly what positions and ordinances that will be left in force. The council approved the purchase of enough codification books so that all councilmembers and committee members can be in possession of the ordinances.
City beautification was next on the agenda. Fifty-two properties around the city that are not in compliance with the ordinances dealing with city beautification have been identified.. While many of the problems are safety issues, all need to be addressed soon. The council will send letters to the property owners explaining the infractions and urging remedy. The council agreed to allow the property owners 30 days to comply. If compliance is not met, the council will move to the next step in the process.

France says it will soon begin handing over its 4-week-old military operation to the Malian army and African forces.
NIAFUNKE, Mali — As French troops move rapidly through northern Mali in their fight to dislodge Islamist insurgents, they are finding many appreciative Malians along the way.
"The West calls them Islamists. They are not Islamists. They're just criminals," said Al-Hadji Yattara, a hotel owner in the town of Niafunke.
The French defense ministry said special forces on Friday seized the airport at Tessalit, a small town in Mali's Kidal region, and were moving to take the town itself with the help of troops from Chad.
French troops have encountered little resistance in the trek north since moving out of the city of Timbuktu, which the insurgents had made their capital. Many of the insurgents, militants aligned with al-Qaeda who spread south in recent months, are fleeing into the Sahara as they lose control of northern Mali's major cities.
In Niafunke, one of the towns liberated outside of Timbuktu, people were dancing in the streets one recent evening. "Mali! Mali! Mali!" cheered the few inhabitants who were still in Niafunke when the French arrived.
The people were celebrating Mali's win against South Africa in the African Cup soccer match, in a sign that things were returning to normal. They kicked up clouds of sand as they spun their motorcycles in circles. Music rang out from cellphones in this the hometown of Ali Farka Toure, one of Africa's most famous musicians. Music was banned by the Islamists, who took the city in April.
People were also playing snippets of a speech by French President Francois Hollande, who visited Timbuktu to vow that France would not let the country fall to the insurgents.
The insurgents made Timbuktu their capital last year after they overran Mali's government forces. The city, along with the rest of northern Mali, endured nine months of destruction, chaos and harsh implementation of sharia law brought by the insurgents, a mix of Tuareg separatists and Islamic fundamentalists.
Operation Serval, launched by the French army on Jan. 11, has returned nearly all the north's cities to Malian government control. After taking the airport in Tessalit near the Algerian border on Friday, French forces were fighting this weekend to secure the town.
France says it will soon begin handing over its 4-week-old military operation to the Malian army and African forces. But the Malian army may not be ready to take control, and a battle in liberated areas between rival Malian military units on Friday added emphasis to that risk.
The battles have also exposed racial tensions between the mainly black African south and the Tuareg north, where some are of Arab origin. According to Human Rights Watch, the Malian army is responsible for the execution of dozens of Tuareg civilians in Mopti, which was the dividing line between the government and the insurgents.
Yattara stayed in Niafunke despite his family's pleas to flee with them to the Mali capital of Bamako when the insurgents arrived. Because he sold alcohol in his hotel, he received 40 lashes from the insurgents who immediately began enforcing sharia law.
"But they smoke hashish in the desert sun all day," he said. "They are not Islamists. They are just Tuaregs who grew beards and cut their pants short, and they wanted to make the people afraid."
Ibrahima Wattara, leader of a volunteer militia calling itself National Liberation Front, agreed that the Tuaregs were nothing but thugs.
"They came to make trouble so that they could profit from the drug trade. They don't do it for religion," he said at a training camp in Sevare, near the French military base in the south, where his militia trains while awaiting authorization from the Malian army to move out.
"They cut people's hands off to make them afraid. They destroyed the banks, the police stations, everything," he said. "They didn't come to make a government. When terrorists do things like this, it's for their own profit."
The drug trade thrives throughout this area known as the Sahel region, a vast and lawless band of the Sahara desert that crosses the borders of a number of West African countries. The trade originates in Guinea-Bissau, a small nation on the Atlantic coast whose government was toppled by its military last year. South American drug lords, seeking new routes for drugs into Europe, employ the Tuaregs and their "black slaves" for their knowledge of desert smuggling routes, locals say.
"They inject the kids with drugs to make them follow their orders," said Moussa Sidibe, a captain in the National Liberation Front.
Sidibe said one of the other men in the militia went to visit his mother in Konna, a town to the north taken by the insurgents last month, and saw them injecting the children. Syringes were all over the ground, he said.
"Most children have now run away from the jihadists, but the ones who follow them for money have stayed," Sidibe said.
The Mali insurgency began in early 2012 when Tuareg group MNLA launched a rebellion in the north to win independence from the south. Islamist insurgents joined the MNLA and both seized control of the north after a coup in Bamako in March left the countries military forces in disarray. Then the MNLA was pushed aside by the Islamists.
Many of the insurgents were paid mercenaries fighting on the side of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. When that fight ended, the Tuaregs returned to Mali with Libyan weapons.
"The problem began with Gadhafi," Wattara said.

One of David's fall favorites is an unusual plant called Heptacodium miconioides (seven-son flower). It is a shrublike tree with green leaves during summer, but it puts on a command performance come fall. First, it produces panicles of star-shaped white blossoms in September and October. Then, its calyxes, which are green when flowering, ripen to a rosy red in October and November. In late fall, the plant drops its leaves to reveal showy, shaggy brown bark during winter months.
David says another fall knockout is the daisy Chrysanthemum 'Sheffield Pink', which produces silvery-pink flowers. "It stays flowering through November," he says. "It's a true perennial and is very hardy. It will come back year after year, unlike a lot of mums that don't reliably survive the Northeast climate."
David likes the look of berry-producing plants, too. In autumn, he favors the bright-red berries of the Ilex verticillata (winterberry holly). Also consider Callicarpa 'Profusion' (beautyberry), a fast-growing shrub. "Its purple fruit is quite stunning," he says, adding that the berry clusters remain on the plant long after the leaves fall.

Get Deshaun Thomas Some Help
D-I's Most Overburdened Players
by John Gasaway
Ohio State is over-reliant on just one player, Deshaun Thomas. You know it, I know it, Thad Matta knows it, and I'll wager that even an eager shooter like Thomas has had moments this season when he'd welcome some help.
Watching Thomas this season got me thinking about other players who might be laboring under the same circumstances, so I put together my short list of Division I's most over-burdened players. To merit inclusion on my list, it's not enough for one player to take a ton of shots. Obviously in 2010-11, Jimmer Fredette took a ton of shots for Brigham Young, and, sure, the Cougars most certainly would have noticed if Fredette had been injured and lost for the season. But that's just another way of saying any team will notice losing their best player. In BYU's case that season, their best player was taking a ton of shots for a team that also had very effective second and third options on offense, not to mention a very good defense.
Conversely when a team is over-reliant on their best player, the coach is making a calculated decision (correctly or not) that this is in fact the best way to cover up some deficiency in performance. On that basis, these are the current cases I see where a team is clearly over-reliant on just one player.
Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State
Let's get the obvious choice out of the way at the top, shall we? The arc charted by Thomas in his three seasons at OSU has been rather remarkable. Not only did the onetime McDonald's All-American come off the bench as a freshman, he actually didn't come off the bench all that much, averaging just 14 minutes a game. Now look: Thomas is always on the floor, and he takes 32 percent of the offense's shots during those abundant minutes. At least when LaQuinton Ross is in the game Thomas has a partner in assertive shooting, but Ross averages just 19 minutes per contest. And we've seen that a rotation comprised of Thomas, a half-timer like Ross, and six additional role-players has not been very effective.
In the two losses to Kansas and Illinois, Ohio State scored just 0.83 points per possession. Granted, that's an extreme number that won't recur. The Jayhawks aren't exactly chopped liver on D, and, anyway, on paper this is still a pretty good OSU offense. But against top competition -- the kind the Buckeyes will see quite often in Big Ten play -- this offense is questionable because Thomas can't do it all by himself. Past Thomas, Matta's rotation is filled with players who are efficient in the narrow sense, but one or two of those guys -- whether it's Aaron Craft, Lenzelle Smith, or someone else -- needs to be efficient while carrying a bigger chunk of the offense.
Fuquan Edwin, Seton Hall
I nominate Edwin as the most heroic character on this list. Unlike Thomas at Ohio State, Edwin has had his team's over-reliance thrust upon him by circumstance, as the Pirates have suffered a rash of injuries. And through it all Edwin has continued to hit shots from both sides of the arc (though not so much at the free throw line, where he's a 66 percent shooter). The 6-6 junior has also carried forward the same level of defensive excellence he displayed last year, when he ranked among Division I's leaders in steal rate. Now the bad news: Edwin's doing all this for a team that rates out as mediocre on both sides of the ball. In particular his teammates have displayed a crippling tendency to commit turnovers. In the here and now, Kevin Willard has little choice but to rely on Edwin as much as he does, but Seton Hall will improve as a team when that degree of reliance can be decreased, even if it's decreased just a little.
Askia Booker, Colorado
Last season as a freshman Booker came off the bench and functioned as a high-volume shooter. He didn't connect on very many of those shots but, again, he was a freshman and he did provide the proverbial jolt of energy when he came in the game. What's strange, though, is that Booker has now made the leap to being a high-volume shooter as a starter who leads his team in minutes -- even though his shooting accuracy is still very much a work in progress. Mind you, Booker has fared well from the perimeter, hitting 38 percent of his threes. But in his career to date most of his shots have been twos, and the results there have been meager at best. (In the Buffs' controversial overtime loss at Arizona last week, Booker was 1-of-10 from inside the arc.) On a team with proven and effective quantities on offense like Andre Roberson and Spencer Dinwiddie, it's not entirely clear to me why Booker's on pace to launch something like 260 two-point shots this season. History suggests he may make only about 100 of those.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Georgia
If you're like many fans, the last time you saw the Bulldogs they were hanging with Indiana for 30 minutes at the Barclays Center in November before losing 66-53. That night Caldwell-Pope scored 14 points for Mark Fox's young team, but he needed a team-leading 15 shots from the field to do so. Caldwell-Pope's usually more efficient than that, but more often than not you will indeed see the 6-5 sophomore carrying a very heavy load on offense. He's actually taken more shots from the field than the next two most frequent UGA shooters (Nemanja Djurisic and Vincent Williams) combined. With good reason: Caldwell-Pope's an effective featured scorer for what happens to be one of the worst offenses in major-conference hoops. In Fox's rotation, KCP plays 34 minutes a night while no other Dawg averages more than 24. Georgia's degree of over-reliance on Caldwell-Pope is striking.
Tamir Jackson, Rice
I realize Jackson's not a household name, and his case couldn't be more far removed from the situation faced by, say, Thomas. Where Thomas and Ohio State are just a tweak here and an adjustment there away from being a legitimate Final Four contender, Jackson and the Owls are foundering and, most likely, will continue to do so. What's interesting about Jackson's case in particular, however, is that head coach Ben Braun has clearly made a decision that the team's foundering would be even worse if Jackson weren't dominating the offense to a near-total extent. And, truth be known, Braun just may be right.
Jackson's one of those odd "Why are you doing this?" cases you run across from time to time in hoops, the one where a player often shoots threes but very rarely makes them. Over the course of his career the 6-3 senior has launched no fewer than 323 3-point attempts, a barrage that can only be chalked up to the power of positive thinking given that Jackson has connected on just 28 percent of those shots. But here's the thing: Jackson has taken on the burden of being the featured scorer for a team filled with guys who also miss their shots -- and commit turnovers. Say this for Braun's nominal star, he at least takes care of the ball. Rice has a bad offense relative to other teams because the Owls are over-reliant on Jackson, but it's not clear that relying on anyone else would work much better.

That is correct. You mentioned black shoes and your colors plus that tie suggested wedding in my mind. Looks good nonetheless.
Yeah, I know, thanks for the compliment. Incidentally: both the suit and tie were the ones I wore at my own wedding.
Thanks. I wear it probably 156 hours out of 168.
Ha. Thanks.

[indent]Tim Cowlishaw ESPN Interview: Basically to sum it up, he remains confident in his source and still believes the deal will happen on Wednesday. He wasnt looking for the information but when he came across it, he confirmed it with his source, who has always been correct. Cowlishaw heavily implied that the information came from somebody on the Revis side of the negotiations. On a scale of 0 10, Cowlishaw put his confidence in his source at 8.5 to a 9. This person is not going to lie or likely to be misled. However, he seemed to protect himself slightly by saying he knows a new deal is coming, but there is small chance it could happen on a different day than Wednesday.

I wanna be excited but I'm waiting patiently. Trying!
Posted 23 August 2010 - 03:02 PM
Posted 23 August 2010 - 03:13 PM
Cowlishaw's name hit the national NFL radar on Sunday afternoon, when he saw fit to inject himself into the Darrelle Revis holdout, "reporting" in shoulder-shrugging fashion on his Twitter page that a deal will be announced, "probably Wednesday." He then added the perfunctory "[y]ou heard it here first," and tipped his hat to "Inside information!"
The unconventional "report" triggered an avalanche of contradictions. Though Cowlishaw brushed off the efforts to debunk his report as the predictable machinations of beat writers, he overlooks the fact that a much broader collection of national figures also have said, based on "Inside information!", that Cowlishaw's report was and is wrong, including ESPN's Adam Schefter, ESPN's Chris Mortensen, NBC's Andrea Kremer, and SI.com's Peter King. Even certain Internet hacks got in on the "Revis and the Jets aren't close" routine.
Through it all, we learned (and others have since confirmed), that the Jets are making substantial progress with center Nick Mangold on a long-term deal. With a tree-killing written document that we've heard will consume 70 pages or more when finished the current focal point of the team's efforts, it seems unlikely that G.M. Mike Tannenbaum would be trying to spin two multi-million-dollar plates at the same time, especially since all indications are that the Jets and Revis have many significant hurdles to overcome.
Undaunted by the denials, Cowlishaw has reiterated his report in an item on the DMN web site. But, with all due respect and discretion to Cowlishaw, his online item seems to have less to do with putting meat on the bone and more to do with: (1) explaining the circumstance of his original report; (2) echoing the notion that he expects Jets beat writers to disagree, while still ignoring the multiple national writers who have agreed with the disagreement; (3) bemoaning the self-created disruption to his "day off" (what in the hell is a "day off," anyway?); and (4) providing himself with an escape hatch if/when he ends up being wrong.
"I wasn't trying to suggest there's a deal-breaker involved, but who knows?" Cowlishaw writes of his use of the term "probably" before "Wednesday." He adds: "Things of that nature happen all the time."
Here's something doesn't happen all the time. The principals involved in a contentious and newsworthy situation, when pursued aggressively by a flood of media members who are trying desperately to confirm or deny a controversial report, don't tell on an off-the-record basis rampant and repeated lies with straight faces regarding the status of the contentious and newsworthy situation. Though we can't and won't disclose our sources, it hardly takes a forensic scientist to realize that, at some point in the day on Sunday, someone with direct knowledge of the situation, whether aligned with the team or the player, said on a "don't quote me" basis that Cowlishaw's report is wrong. There's simply no way that so many local and national people would be openly disputing the report if folks who know what's going on weren't disputing the report with an express request for anonymity.
It's not impossible that so many folks would be jeopardizing their own credibility by telling off-the-record falsehoods to people who buy their ink by the truckload, but it would be largely unprecedented, even in the truth-challenged world of pro football.
Sure, maybe the Jets and Revis have decided as part of their code of silence that they'll jointly spring the announcement on the world via a "special announcement" at the start of Wednesday night's edition of HBO's Hard Knocks, perhaps even with a live broadcast of the signing ceremony. But if that's what's happening, more than one guy would inevitably find out about it -- and once word of it got out at least one "source with knowledge of the situation" would do something other than lie through his teeth.
So we remain confident that nothing currently is happening between the Jets and Revis, and that if anything goes down in the short term it will be coincidental to Cowlishaw's report. We think his source -- who by all appearances isn't one of the principals but who is "in the loop" on matters of this nature -- misread the tea leaves, and mistook Mangold for Revis. So when it doesn't happen between Revis and the Jets, Cowlishaw will reiterate his "[t]hings of this nature happen all the time" explanation, possibly with a twist of "once I reported it the turtle pulled his head back into the shell."
Meanwhile, we don't fault Cowlishaw for laying the foundation for an eventual retreat. Since he openly believes that it's normal and acceptable for beat writers to "shoot down" stories like this even if they're accurate, Cowlishaw probably also believes it's normal and acceptable to swing the bat, miss the ball, and then blame the pitcher.
Finally, if Cowlishaw connects, the same people who were burning up the phone lines on Sunday in an effort to follow up on Cowlishaw's report will be calling their sources again. This time, the question marks will be replaced with exclamation points -- and the exclamation points will be following some of the language heard routinely on Hard Knocks.

Citing NFL sources, Newsday's Bob Glauber reports that Darrelle Revis is "demanding" $162 million over 10 years from the Jets.
The Jets are reportedly offering as much as $122 million over 10 years. None of these figures mean much without the guaranteed money, but Revis' demands are ridiculous if true. While he's certainly outplayed his rookie contract, he still has three years left on that deal. Based on info from his own sources, Glauber isn't buying Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw's report that a deal is close.[/quote]
Who to believe? Hmmm.....

162 million over 10 years? I pray to God that's not what the team gives in and pays him. I dont care how good he is. He's not worth that kind of money.
162 means nothing. doesn't mean he'll get it all. If we did i'm sure tanny would make it backloaded into the final 4 years then cut him after 6 years when he's 30

[size="5"]Cowlishaw: Source says New York Jets' Darrelle Revis will sign this week[/size]
[size="2"]09:50 AM CDT on Monday, August 23, 2010[/size]
Column by TIM COWLISHAW / The Dallas Morning News[/size]
[size="4"]On Sunday, I had no column scheduled to write for The Dallas Morning News. I didn't need to overdose on sports in order to get ready for a week of Around the Horn on ESPN because the show is on vacation all week.
Other than Skype-ing my daughter for her 19th birthday and taking my son to the driving range, I didn't have any grand plans. The only thing I was going to "tweet" about was how much I liked the first 75-80 pages of a novel called Shadow of the Wind.
My quiet day ended when I obtained some information early in the afternoon about Darrelle Revis, the Jets' fabulous cornerback who has been holding out from camp in order to get a new contract.
The source of information was good, someone I have used before. Beyond that, I won't go into further details.
Originally I was told the signing would be "probably Wednesday or Saturday." That seemed strange that there would be a possible range of three days in the situation.
But when I found out one other aspect of the story that made me believe it had to be true, Wednesday made a lot more sense than Saturday. Since the 140-character nature of Twitter doesn't lend itself to expanding on one's thoughts, I just typed "probably Wednesday."
Even limiting myself to that, "probably Wednesday" sounded weird, like I was hedging my bets. I wasn't trying to suggest there's a deal-breaker involved, but who knows? Things of that nature happen all the time. Still, I felt like "probably Wednesday" was the most accurate information I could provide at the time.
Once that one tweet was out there, my chances of getting much of the day off were shot (although I did manage to squeeze in three games at Top Golf with Ben and I didn't forget to skype Rachel).
It didn't surprise me that my information was getting shot down right and left by those covering the Jets. As a beat writer covering the Cowboys for six years, I did a lot of "shooting down" and this was in the early days of ESPN and long before the world was wired and Twitter came along.
I talked to ESPN's Chris Mortensen and the New York Daily News' Gary Myers on the phone, a couple of guys I have known for 20 years or more. I exchanged texts or, in some cases, tweets with others I have had long relationships with.
They were supportive if curious as to how this information was coming from a Dallas-based general columnist. Understandably curious.
As for those who said I was making it up to get more followers: Does that sound like a good thing to do? I've worked for The Dallas Morning News for more than 20 years, ESPN for another seven. Is just making stuff up and having no clue about it a big part of my history?
Getting predictions wrong, yeah, I've done that two or three times. Two or three thousand times, I mean.
Throwing stuff against the wall with no idea whether or not it might stick? Not a real good way to maintain any shred of credibility.
The messages coming in from Jets' fans were pretty much non-stop and the only surprising thing about any of that was how many of them seemed to suggest they didn't think Revis would sign until well into the season, if at all.
How often does that happen? How often does that work?
Emmitt Smith got extra guaranteed money by sitting two games in 1993. But that was the league MVP-to-be and he had to get somewhat lucky in rolling the dice that the Cowboys would go 0-2 to Washington and Buffalo and that Coach Jimmy Johnson would go so crazy about it that Jerry Jones would have no choice but to cave in.
As great a player as Revis is, that's a big gamble to take.
Regardless, it does not appear that he is going to roll those dice. All signs indicate that the Revis saga, a major storyline for HBO's "Hard Knocks'' special on the Jets, ends this week.
And then I can tweet more about "Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon ... even if it doesn't quite reach the same audience that Darrelle Revis does.[/size] [/quote]

Bob Glauber of Newsday writes that, while Darrelle Revis continues to hold out in an act of defiance, the Jets have been quietly handing out large sums of money to players considered almost as important to their long-term success.
First, tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson signed a 6-year, $60 million contract extension with little fanfare. Then reports surfaced on Sunday claiming an agreement with Revis was imminent. Turns out it is center Nick Mangold who is on the verge of cashing in.
A league source familiar with the Jets ' situation confirmed to Newsday last night that a long-term extension for Mangold was imminent. News of it was first reported by Profootballtalk.com. It is expected to at least equal the five-year, $37.5-million deal signed last year by Rams center Jason Brown .
And Revis? Tick, tick, tick. He seems to be stuck on Revis island.
There was a buzz late Sunday afternoon when Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw, a regular panelist on ESPN 's "Around the Horn," wrote on his Twitter account that the Jets and Revis will announce an agreement as early as Wednesday. But a league source said late Sunday the report was inaccurate, There seems to be little progress in the Revis negotiations.
It make you wonder if Revis is in danger of overplaying his hand. The Jets with Revis are a world-class defense but Jets without Revis are still oustanding. With three years left on his contract and the Jets offering as much as $122 million dollars over 10 years, he is demanding $162 million according to lrague sources.
With that $40 million dollar chasm showing no signs of closing the Jets have instead done the next-best thing by signing the other young cornerstones of their franchise to deals that are more reasonable.
Revis has little leverage in an unpopular holdout. The choice is coming down to his accepting a more reasonable deal or sit out the season , forfeiting his current contract which pays him $21 million over the next three years. It is understandable that Revis is frustrated with arookie contract that pays him only $1 million in salary this season, making him by far the league's most underpaid elite quarterback. If he holds out during the season and there is a lockout in 2011, that's two years without a paycheck.. Even a million dollar athlete can't afford that.
So Ferguson and Mangold now have long-term security while Revis continues to9 play a dangerous game of chicken with a team willing to play hardball. With three years left on his rookie deal, Revis has few options and should take the money offered now.

I'd love to see the guy signed by Wednesday but I just don't feel its gonna happen, but I do expect to see him on the field when we play the ravens on opening Monday night.

well like it has been said before, revis is risking not only not getting paid for this season, but in the event of a lock out next season, he will have gone 2 seasons without a pay check. I just can't see the guy passing on a 120+ million deal with a lockout coming. I don't want to see the jets give this guy 160 mill, 120 is already a rather steep price for a CB, but revis is playing with a loaded gun. You think Revis will get even close to a 120 million deal if he hasn't played football in 2 seasons? Revis will be the highest paid CB once nnamdi's contract expires so I don't see what the big deal here is, I mean, being the first 100 million dollar corner back isn't such a bad thing is it?
I'd love to see the guy signed by Wednesday but I just don't feel its gonna happen, but I do expect to see him on the field when we play the ravens on opening Monday night.
Ur post makes the most logical sense in this entire revis fiasco. Good job buddy. He will not risk two yrs of no money. Anf if he does, no ones gonna pay him close to 100mil, let alone 25mil. He's gotta sign eventually, y not wednesday?

Stars of Tomorrow: A Visual Recap of the 2012 Under Armour High School All-America Game
On Saturday afternoon we had the opportunity to take in the 2012 Under Armour High School All-America game at Wrigley Field, and it was an outstanding experience. Anytime you can sit front row at Wrigley Field it's a pleasure, especially when you get to watch some of the best talent in the upcoming draft. Not to mention the air and water show was going on as well, and that is always a great experience while at Wrigley. I'll let the pictures do the talking, enjoy.
Here is a slide show, you can access the whole gallery here, please like our page when you are there!
Clint Frazier, and Brett Morales were the two best players on the field in our opinion. Frazier flashed all his tools, and Morales attacked hitters with great command and sat near 93 MPH with his fastball. Austin Meadows is physically impressive as well, he didn't have the greatest game, until a triple in the ninth inning, but he looks the part of superstar. Hope you guys like the recap, and pictures. Feel free to use these pictures, I just ask that you give us credit and a link back, thanks as always!
Thanks for reading,
– George

Skip to comments.Calif. senator threatens boycott over Lowe's ads
Posted on 12/11/2011 4:19:19 PM PST by SmithL
A state senator from Southern California was considering calling for a boycott of Lowe's stores after the home improvement chain pulled its advertising from a reality show about Muslim-Americans.
Calling the retail giant's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads. The senator sent a letter outlining his complaints to Lowe's Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Niblock.
The retail giant stopped advertising on TLC's "All-American Muslim" after a group called the Florida Family Association complained the show was "propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values."
. . . In addition to an apology and reinstatement of the ads, Lieu said he hoped Lowe's would make an outreach to the community about bias and bigotry.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
There are tens of thousands of businesses that don't advertise on it, should government force them to support shows they don't like??
I may have to go shopping at Lowes.
Sounds like a crime to me.
That reminds me, I need to pick up a few things at Lowe's tomorrow.
That reminds me, I need to pick up a few things at Lowe's tomorrow.
Only in a Constitutional Republic, something the current administration and Congress is close to eradicating in this country. They've done enough damage that these "small" violations don't even cause a ripple in public opinion... much less in the MSM.
I don't think Hormel bacon is advertising on there either.
Home Depot is a mile and a half from my house, Lowes is 15 miles. But if this putzhead of a state senator persists I will happily drive the extra distance.
Some Chinese idiot is sticking up for Muslims? I don't get it? Is he a super liberal freak who can't get laid not even by his wife if has one
(yes prolly Chinese-American dude) (same as egg fu yung is Chinese-American)
The Associated Press on Sunday that he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads.*******
Are you kidding me? A sponsor pulls advertising from a program and some political hack wants to take "legislative action"???? Is it now a punishable offense not to support the official position being advanced through mass televised propaganda?
Lowe's needs to tell Torrance to go pound sand. And this makes me much more favorably disposed towards Lowe's.
Get some 100 watt incandescent... about to be phased out on 1/1/2012.
Sorry, the hack's name isn't Torrance, but Lieu. Rather, he's from Torrance.
Common error; remember Vito Andolini from Corleone?
Islame is a system of GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT.
I hope the idiot does it.
It will call attention to their action, and will probably increase their business substantially.
>> "Sounds like a crime to me." <<
Sounds like Obama to me.
...after the home improvement chain pulled its advertising from a reality show about Muslim-Americans.This joker (Demagogic Party, of course) thinks there are no consequences to his stupid grandstanding, may he find out otherwise.
Someone called a moosewash for what it was. Amazing.
In lieu of legislative action against Lowes, perhaps Lieu will just boycott Torrance?
Torrance is full of liberal kooks.
A reality show about Muslim-Americans? Did they show be-headings and the occasional Jihad? I mean, that's a way of life, isn't it?
I learned all the reality about Muslims that I need to know on 9/11/2001. The condemnation of the murderers from the "Muslim community" was nonexistent.
Couldn't it have been that the viewership was so low for the program that it wasn't worth spending advertising dollars on?
What a Nazi. I'm serious. Nazi. I don't usually say that because we all know the rule on calling your opponent a Nazi. But what can I say?? He's a Nazi!
What has our republic come to when a state senator (an employee of the citizens) can tell a private company how it will spend it's advertising dollars? From where does he think he derives this power? I think he is assuming a lot, including that his future employment is assured.
You can go online to Lowes.com, go to Contact Us, go to Lowe's Corporate, and eventually find a page where you can send them an email. I just sent them a quick one telling them to stand their ground, it is their right.
LOL Yeah, I knew Torrance was in there somehow. Gotta work on that reading comprehension.
Pi$$ on Ted Leiu (socialist) Torrance, DPRK !
Yet another reason for me to continue shopping at Lowe's!
Hey Senator. Why don't you worry that we pissed off American Christians are going to start a boycott of California?
Why don't you worry about how your state is bankrupt because of illegals and Dems running your state in the ground.
I wonder how you can even remember how to breathe, you idiot.
You are right on target!
Strange how the so called progressive, tolerant pushing libos, and the diversity loudies all tell us how good the Muzzies are when every evidence, past and present proves otherwise!
Yes, of course.
The legal precedent is ObamaCare.
Are you, perchance, a Uyghur, Sen. Lieu?
Thank you, State Sen. Ted Lieu, for pointing our where I should do my immediate shopping for home improvement supplies in the near future.
Calling the retail giant's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads.
To add insult to injury and stupidity, please point out where in the California Constitution the legislature is granted the power to dictate to any private business when and how it must advertise its products. Abuse of power under delusional power of authority is a serious charge, but if you are willing to suffer the consequences, go for it.
Threats, not even thinly veiled, arouses the competitive spirits of informed citizens. Attempting to enforce what amounts to sharia law on US citizens doesn't sit too well with American Citizens. I shall contact both my state representatives to make sure a radical muslim activist doesn't assume free rein over California citizens.
As for apologies to a killer cult threatenening the entire world, every freaking day, don't hold your breath. They have not established themselves as Mass Murdering Muslims without notice. Unfortunately, the fictional All-American Muslim, is a minuscule and insignificant part of the culture that relies on threats, murder, explosives and murder to establish themselves as the most serious parasite to civilized countries.
Islamic Terrorist Acts Since 911
(18,120 and counting))
He used to be a representative from El Segundo, near LAX - one of his offices was right next to my laundromat in that town when I lived there.
Ted Lieu is an America hating leftist.
Should Lowe's (or whoever) be FORCED BY THE GOVERNMENT to advertise on Glen Beck?
If a Republican had proposed the above, how would it have been received?
"(You get what you tolerate)"
You realize that's a BRILLIANT line, don't you?
Two can play at this game. I have been boycotting California for at least 10 years and I do shop at Lowes and will continue to do so.
Give a note to the store manager (proves you walked in the door) and email corporate HQ with a copy of your receipt if you like, as to why you've chosen to patronize their store.
Yeah, this guy is part of the same Government who want to make it a federal offense for saying anything bad about Islam.
What's with the Chinese bashing?
I watched the first episode and it was just plain dull.
I don't blame Lowe's for backing out.
How about a buycott to counter the boycott? Buy something at Lowe's. It doesn't matter what. Mail the receipt to his office:
Sen. Ted Lieu
State Capitol, Room 4090
Sacramento, CA 95814
Include a note telling him what he can do with it.

Yes that is correct, it looks like the fillers finally have an end date! The magic date is July 18th with episode 321 "Reinforcements Arrive" Finally finally finally this crap is over and the real story continues. And IF and I mean a big if 321 doesn't end the fillers (I believe it will be the episode where Naruto finally enters all the battle fields) 322 is definitely the end because it is named "Uchiha Madara"
All I can say is finally finally finally it is over!
Sorry for the long load times
