Max Ergul flip flops on Milwaukee in the case of Enes Kanter
Category: Draft Talk
(NOTE: Gery Woelful spoke with Max Ergul who cleared up just why Kanter did not speak with the Bucks.)
It's happened often enough that it no longer comes as a surprise. That doesn't mean it doesn't come off as any less indignant this time though.
Once again, the NBA Draft is approaching. And once again, Milwaukee appears a less than desirable landing spot for at least one draft prospect.
The latest NBA hopeful to avoid Milwaukee is Turkish man of mystery Enes Kanter. After some question about just what teams Kanter did and did not interview with at the Chicago combine, his agent, Max Ergul, offered some clarity on the situation to Sports Illustrated. He wasn't avoiding a number of teams. He was just avoiding the Bucks.
"The only one I really didn't care for him [to go to] is Milwaukee," Ergul said
This isn't the first time a Turkish player with whom Ergul is associated with has passed on the Bucks.
In 2007, Ersan Ilyasova surprised many by bolting from the NBA to play overseas after his rookie season with Milwaukee. At the time, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that Ergul was Ilyasova's agent, though then General Manager Larry Harris later insisted Ergul was merely an advisor. At any rate, he had some relationship with Ilyasova and may have played a role in steering the Bucks forward away from Milwaukee. Of course, Ergul was singing quite a different tune about Milwaukee at the time.
"The Bucks gave first-class treatment to Ersan, and we would never hesitate to put another player here," Ergul said.
How things change.
Kanter is just one of multiple players over the past few years to reject either an interview or workout with the Bucks. Patrick Patterson, Joakim Noah and eventually Bucks draftee Yi Jianlian all have spurned the Bucks in recent years. Whether or not the lack of access will influence Milwaukee's decision making remains to be seen. Patterson and Noah were gone before the Bucks drafted, but under the Harris regime, Milwaukee did not hesitate to draft Jianlian, the top remaining prospect on their board.
Ergul hasn't given much indication as to why he's blacklisted Milwaukee when it comes to Kanter. Some have offered that Andrew Bogut's long term contract would stand in the way of Kanter's development, while others note that Milwaukee is simply drafting too far down the board and it could be construed as a sign of weakness to allow a potential top five pick to work out with the team holding pick 10. Then there's the prevalent perception that Milwaukee isn't much of a town for a foreign player to play in.
Whether it's the city, the organization or the draft slot we don't know, and unless Ergul or Kanter speaks out, we probably won't get to the bottom of it. But once again as the draft approaches, Milwaukee is singled out as an undesirable location and the city's image around the league takes yet another hit.

So many come and go that say great things about the state, be it Green Bay with the Pack, or Milwaukee with the Brewers or Bucks, but then again so many say negative things, and lets face it, when it comes to media attention, it's never good. Do you ever watch the local news? Sometimes I question why I like it here…
All the more hail andrew bogut, for being a true professional, and face of the bucks
Never once did he complain or threaten not to go to the Bucks when they drafted him
He signed a big contract (but not as big as he could have potential got as a free agent), rather than carmelo'ing his way out
Hail Andrew Hail
I appreciate your approach to this matter, focusing on Ergul and not Kanter. I have read way too much from others saying how horrible Kanter looks for this, when really he had no say. Some have blown this issue out of proportion. Kanter will not be there at 10 and the Bucks will not move up to grab him. I find it interesting how location is such an issue in the NBA. Definitely has to do with the type of personalities in each league. Many MLB players come from small towns and appreciate a place like Milwaukee, while you have big city kids that only want to play in NYC and LA in the NBA. Oh well, it gives me a greater appreciation for Andrew Bogut.
Fine, he and his agent don't like Milwaukee or the Bucks. Gives us a good reason to boo his ass if he ever makes it to the show. Too bad to, with a name like kanter he would have been a natural for the Bucks.
The guys sucks anyway. He's not a full time starter…he's way overhyped just like Yi was. Screw the a@@es who say Milwaukee sucks before they even step into the city. I'm an avid traveler and there is very little difference between our small market club and any other small to mid size market city. They're upset because they think our women are not easy and dumb enough to sleep with…dumb thugs.

Firstly, I must apologise for the time that has elapsed since our last newsletter, while rejoicing in the reasons for the delay! As anyone who has visited the restaurant in the past few months will have noticed, the restaurant has undergone some extensive refurbishment and development, resulting in two (thankfully) updated restaurant rooms and a beautiful conservatory that now links the two. Happily, the conservatory has been a true success story so far, with many of you voicing your approval (thank you - always a great relief!) and even more of you booking the conservatory for repeat visits. We can begin to breathe a sigh of relief now that restaurant has subsequently been as full as it can possibly be on a few Saturday nights and Sundays, and thus far no complaints and many compliments from customers, and as yet our staff have not packed their bags and left us due to the increased pressure! In fact, we are enormously grateful for their enthusiasm and positivity - a formidable team that can handle pretty much anything thrown at them and you still hear determined cries of 'Bring it on!' from beneath a mountain of orders on a Saturday night!
But no rest for the wicked - with so much going on we have turned our attentions to our big summer events, towards the fields and tunnels which are dripping with crops ready for the summer months and to our new residents... the scary ones and the feathery ones. Read on for more information....
Our local schools have come up trumps and taken us up on our slightly whacky request for scarecrows in the theme of characters from traditional tales. In return, each school that participates recieves enough plants to establish a kitchen garden or to add to their existing garden, while the winning school will be invited to join us for a free day at the farm and follow up work with our chefs working in their school, with some of the ingredients they have seen growing in the fields.
The event is intended to promote the educational possibilities within a business such as Trevaskis. Since we have been running our education programme in earnest here at Trevaskis, around 5,000 students, from nusery aged children, to college students and adult groups have visited the farm to learn about the journey of food from field to plate. The unusual diversity of the business means that chidlren can not only see how food grows in the fields but, once we've dusted the mud off, they can see how the produce is sold or used in the restaurant, they can see how our livestock is reared and learn about the fresh fish available to us just off the Cornish coast when they visit the fishmonger. Younger groups enjoy the sensory experiences of tasting fruit, smelling the herbs, picking apples etc while the older children gain an insight into running a business or businesses such as this and the decisions that have to be made and problems that need to be solved.
Just as importantly, we hope to make more parents aware that the farm is open to walk around, free of charge, year round (although areas may be closed in the depths of winter due to too much mud!) and your children can see around 100 different crops grown seasonally plus piglets, calves and lambs.
Scarecrow weekend opens at 10 am - 8pm Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May. The scarecrows need your votes!
We had a handful of Wellsummers and a good few Light Sussexes ( a few too many cockerals ) which grew into fine chickens, only to suffer an attack by our neighbours dog that cost us five of our eight lovely chickens.
The remaining three we named Buster, Billy and Bolt. Two light Sussexes - a hen and a cockeral and a Wellsummer hen, who lived happily, attacking the neighbours' children and waking everybody up at the crack of dawn, until the next dog attack from which only a slightly chewed Buster and a totally unscathed Bolt (the cockeral) managed to survive.
Enough was enough and we decided to relocate Buster and Bolt and brought them here to the farm. Giles promptly visited a poultry sale and so now we have a happy, if very mixed, flock of chickens and a few ducks thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, the formidable Bolt has since passed away - probably the lack of small child in his new diet - but Buster remains, and they truly are an asset to the farm and lovely to watch. You will find our new residents in their enclosure as you walk past the currants and gooseberries on the way down to the tunnels. Please go and have a look and remember to get in touch if you read of any cockerals in the lonely-chicks columns...
With our own strawberries on sale everywhere you look in Trevaskis Market at the moment, you can be in no doubt that tunnels are laden with beautiful fruit which taste much nicer when they are picked by your own hand - as fresh as possible straight off the plant. A brilliant education and a great day out for children, and next month will see gooseberries, raspberries, currants, broad beans, peas and much more ready to be picked.
Why not take a leaf out of your granny's book and fill your freezer with fruit to take you through the winter months? Or resolve to make this year the year to start making your own jam?
So watch this space and the TM shelves as they become full of the freshest home-grown produce picked that morning, only a few minutes down the lane! Couldn't be better...

9 tips for finding treasure at yard sales
Items that were unloved and unwanted may be just perfect for your household. Here's how to buy without regret and perhaps get much more than your money's worth.
'Tis the season to comb through your neighbor's castoffs.
As the summer heats up, so does the yard sale trade: During the peak months of July and August, Americans host some 300,000 yard sales each week, says Mike Judkins, co-founder of Treasure Listings.
While even savvy shoppers probably won't score finds like a $3 bowl that's worth $2 million, or a $2 Picasso painting worth a potential fortune there are still plenty of deals to be had.
Here are nine tips for making the most of a day spent hunting and haggling.
1. Start online the night before
Check out Craigslist or your local news website on Friday night for a list of the weekend's yard sales. Sites like gsalr.com let you filter ads by keyword and help you map out a route so that you can maximize shopping time. The more sales you can hit, the better your odds of snagging a great deal, so be sure to include any community-wide sales on your list. Once you're out for the day, look for physical signs advertising the sales you may have missed.
2. Choose the right neighborhood
If you're on the hunt for kids' toys and supplies, focus your efforts on the newer subdivisions that often attract young families. (Note: for safety reasons, you should never buy a car seat or crib at a rummage sale.) If you're looking for furniture or art, you'll probably have better luck hitting older areas and retirement communities. "The most expensive neighborhoods will have the nicest stuff, although it's rarer to find sales there," Judkins says.
3. Pack supplies
Bring along a magnifying glass to check items like jewelry or housewares for a makers' mark, and a tape measure so you can easily determine the dimensions of larger items. Throw some shopping bags, newspapers and an old blanket in your car so that you can wrap and transport fragile items back home without worrying about them breaking. A pack of wet wipes may also come in handy.
Yard sales are one of the few places where cash is still king, so leave the credit cards at home. Brings plenty of ones and fives -- the physical bills will help out in negotiations and ensure that you won't have to worry about whether or not a seller can make change.
4. Keep an eye out for moving boxes
Moving sales will be your best bet for deals, since those sellers are generally more interested in getting rid of items than in making a buck. Estate sales can have great finds, too, but some are run by pros who are less likely to let an item go for less than its fair value.
On the other hand, sales that appear disorganized or hastily thrown together are an indication that the host is in liquidation mode, which can work to your advantage, Judkins says
5. Hit your top sale first (and last)
Set an alarm (sales can start as early as 7 a.m.), and arrive at the most-promising sale as soon as it opens its doors. Getting there early ensures a better selection and less competition for perennially popular items like jewelry and records.
If you find something you love but can't agree on a price with the seller, come back toward the end of the sale to see if it's still available (assuming you're willing to take that risk). "By the end of the day, people are ready to practically give away the stuff that hasn't sold," says Lynda Hammond, the author of "The Garage Sale Gal's Guide to Making Money Off Your Stuff."
6. Inspect everything carefully
Open anything in a box to check that contents have all parts and are what you expect. (It's common for a DVD case, for example, to have the wrong DVD inside – or sometimes no DVD at all.) Ask the seller if there's an outlet you can use to plug in and test electric items. For furniture, make sure drawers and doors open and close properly.
7. Broken items can still be valuable
Even if it can't be repaired, damaged jewelry made with real gold is at least worth the price of the metal, and is typically easy to resell to a jeweler. Some high-end designers will offer free repairs of products like handbags, and replacing the upholstery on high-quality furniture can make it look like new.
Electronics like cameras and laptops that are more than a year old (with the possible exception of antique cameras) generally aren't worth putting money into for repairs.
8. Your smartphone is your secret weapon
Find an unusual item, but don't know what it's worth? A quick search on eBay can give you a sense its worth. The value of an item at a yard sale should be 25% to 50% less than what it's listed for online.
9. Everything's negotiable, but some things aren't worth it
Part of the thrill of a yard sale is the haggling, and sellers expect some back-and-forth on pricing. "Everything is priced with wiggle room," says Cari Cucksey, antiques dealer and host of HGTV's "Cash & Cari."
More from The Fiscal Times:
If you are buying for resale, a good number to always remember is 25 to 33% of retail. For most antique and second hand shops to stay in business with the usual overhead, they can't afford to pay more than 25 to 35 cents on the dollar.
It only makes sense to pay more when you have a known buyer, need the item for yourself (so you'd otherwise pay retail) or want to buy it as a gift (though many see giving second hand items as gifts kind of tacky).
Good luck, and happy picking!

text: As we move past the Christmas holiday, we look toward New Year's Day and what could be the next big storm to affect the state. Currently it's too early to tell what is going to happen and where, but a plethora of precipitation could fall across the area, ranging from rain to freezing rain, sleet or snow. Some of the precipitation could be heavy, which if it is in the form of sleet or freezing rain could become potentially dangerous. More on this storm in the coming days, however in the meantime, temperatures will begin a slow warming trend with readings inching toward the freezing point through the middle to end of next week. No precipitation is likely between now and the storm mentioned above.

Former Western Michigan standout tight-end and Chelsea native Tony Scheffler is headed to the Lions as Detroit yesterday was involved in a three team trade with the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles. The Lions parted ways with weak-side linebacker Ernie Sims, who leaves for Philadelphia.
Scheffler comes to Detroit from Denver, with the Broncos also giving the Lions a seventh-round pick in the draft coming up later this week. Denver gets a fifth-round pick this year from the Eagles. The 27-year old Scheffler is a former second round pick and over four seasons, all with the Broncos, had 138 catches for nearly 19-hundred yards and 14 touchdowns.
Detroit needed some insurance at tight end with last year's first round draft pick Brandon Pettigrew working his way back from a torn A-C-L suffered in late November. The 25-year old Sims had spent all four of his NFL seasons with the Lions, who selected him ninth overall in the 2006 draft out of Florida State. He posted more than 100 tackles in his first three years while playing in all 16 games in each season, and then had 49 tackles in 11 games in 2009.

The pkg was abundant. A whole party in a box. My only issues were that the banner that you can personalize was on the small side. I was also very upset that the Happy 1st Birthday helium ballon with all the characters looked like it went thru a war. There were slices all over it and the seams weren't sealed. I was looking forward to blowing up that balloon (which I wasted helium on until I realized it was leaking from all over the place). Other than two two complaints, the package was fantastic and had a lot of party supplies. We had about 60 people so I had to add stuff like extra plates and cups and table covers but it was way cheaper to order it in this pkg than alone.

The Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) Tunnel is a two-track railroad tunnel underneath central Baltimore City. The tunnel opened in 1873 and is located between the West Baltimore MARC Station and Pennsylvania Station along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor (NEC). This section of the NEC is used by Amtrak and Maryland's MARC Commuter Rail passenger trains, as well as Norfolk Southern Railway freight trains. The B&P Tunnel is owned by Amtrak and should not be confused with the Howard Street Tunnel, which is owned by CSX and used solely by CSX freight trains.
Working to improve rail service, reliability and address a longstanding bottleneck along Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor (NEC), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Amtrak are advancing an engineering and environmental study to examine various improvements to the 141-year-old Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. MDOT was awarded a grant from FRA to complete the study as part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Program. As part of the study, FRA will lead development of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in close coordination with MDOT, the public, and other stakeholders.

A Marstons Mills man was arrested today on assault charges on a child younger than 14 after Mashpee police obtained an arrest warrant relating to an alleged incident in Mashpee earlier this week, according to Mashpee police.
Nathan B. Hess, of Gooseberry Lane in Marstons Mills, was arrested by Barnstable police at his residence, according to information provided by Mashpee police this afternoon.
The warrant was for one count of indecent assault and battery on a child younger than 14, subsequent offense. The warrant stemmed from an April 7 incident at a residence in Mashpee, according to police. It appears the suspect was acquainted with the victim, police said. The charge comes after a one week investigation into allegations of a possible sexual assault.
Mr. Hess was processed at the Barnstable Police Department and later transported to the Mashpee Police Department for processing as well. Bail was set at $20,000.
Mr. Hess was subsequently transported to the Barnstable County House of Corrections. He is scheduled to be arraigned on April 16, 2013 at Falmouth District Court.

Ottawa Airport Authority - 2002 First Quarter Results
Ottawa –– Ottawa International Airport Authority (OIAA) today released its financial results for the first quarter of 2002. President and CEO Paul Benoit said the quarter was "better than anticipated."
Financial review
For the quarter ended March 31st, 2002, revenues exceeded expenses by $3,269,000 as compared to $4,373,000 the first quarter of 2001.
"Overall, our excess of revenues over expenses is down 1 million dollars when compared to the first quarter of 2001. During that first quarter of 2001, our growth was well above 10%, which was unheard of in our market, " said Mr. Benoit. "Of that million dollars, more than half a million has gone to pay for the increase in Rent to the Crown and the remainder arises from decreases in revenues from aeronautical charges and parking."
During the first quarter, the Authority generated total revenues of $12,794,000 compared to $13,431,000 in the first quarter of 2001.
Aeronautical revenues represent the largest source of revenues for the Authority. At $5,136,000 for the first quarter, total aeronautical revenues, which include terminal fees, loading bridge charges, and landing fees charged to air carriers, were down from $5,358,000 from the first quarter of 2001.
Airport improvement fees decreased from $3,338,000 (first quarter of 2001) to $3,277,000 in the past quarter due to a decrease in passenger volumes.
Rent to the Crown increased by more than half a million dollars ($541,000) in the past quarter. Total expenses, however, only increased by $467,000 as Airport Authority cost-saving measures in other categories remained in effect. Total expenses were $9,525,000 for the past quarter as compared to $9,058,000 in the first quarter of 2001.
"We are tracking better than budget with a firm hold on our expenses. We can see signs that the economy is recovering, as airlines are increasing their frequency and capacity, even adding certain flights lost during the aftermath of September 11th," said Mr. Benoit.
Passenger traffic
"Passenger volumes increased three percent during the first quarter of 2002 compared to the previous quarter. Yes, we lost ground compared to the first quarter of 2001 but that period was itself an anomaly, registering an 11.3 % increase over the first three months of 2000," said Mr. Benoit. "This year, our first quarter decline means we have returned to the high passenger traffic levels of 2000, the best year ever on record at Ottawa Airport."
The number of enplaned/deplaned passengers for the first quarter of 2002 was 773,742, a decrease of 11.5% from 2001 (875,056). When compared to 2000 passenger volumes (787,440), this represents a decline of less than two percent. Overall passenger traffic for 2001 decreased by 1.25% compared to 2000 traffic.
As of December 31st, 2001, passenger traffic had grown by 19% since the Ottawa Airport Authority took over management and operations of the airport. For the first time in the Airport's history, passengers enjoyed a choice of 28 direct destinations in 2001.
OMCIAA operates Ottawa International Airport without tax dollars under a 60-year lease transfer agreement with Transport Canada. The Authority's mandate is to manage, operate and develop Airport facilities and lands in support of the economic growth of the National Capital Region. Its 40-year old terminal building was last expanded in 1987. Since that time, passenger traffic has increased over 40%.
The Ottawa Airport Authority will hold its Annual Public Meeting on May 1st, 2002 à the Gatineau Holiday Inn.

text: Yes comrades. I'm pleased to report that there's at least SOMETHING to report from our stop over in Copenhagen. A lovely place. Wonderful people, so here goes..... The day started with a trip to national Nordic television. They (whoever "they" are) had me on some breakfast TV show called "Weekend Weekend". So good they named it twice!!!! As you can imagine the show itself was a bit odd. It consisted of a few TV presenter types stood round an elbow high table talking about… well, I'm not quite sure what they was on about as my Danish is a bit rusty these days. It was a bit like that thing that Tim Lovejoy does back in England on a Sunday. So there's me, some Danish singer-songwriter, a guy who is - and I quote - "Denmark's foremost authority on that holy instrument the Mellotron" (I made the holy bit up), and somewhat predictably...... a celebrity chef, who was gonna cook me an English breakfast. Now… why is it called an "English" breakfast? Does anyone know? One of the presenters did refer to the chef as a Michelin star cock at one point!!!! (She meant cook, one would have thought?) So anyway, after the usual exchanges… you know the ones? They had me and the Mellotron expert stood round a Mellotron and discuss the virtues - of which there are many - of that wonderful piece of machinery. We discussed great Mellotron moments in rock ie. Nights In White Satin, Strawberry Fields, etc… Now why any of this would be interesting to your average Nordic breakfast telly punter is beyond me but, y'know… whatever. The show was rounded off with a Beatles quiz!! The gig was in some concert hall. Incredible place. It was like playing inside a hexagonal wooden box. Beautiful. We played in the round and I must say, it was mega. Being totally surrounded by a load of Nordic beauties is good gear, let me tell you. At one point a little lad ambled onstage!! He was only 5 years old!! Just think of how many t-shirts he could potentially buy in his lifetime!!! I think his dad sensed a photo opp' in between songs and shoved him up there. Charlie, his name was (I think). He was from Manchester, I believe!! A top, top night. My favourite gig of the entire tour so far. Well done. You find me back in Germany. Cologne, to be exact. Looking forward to getting hold of the Sunday papers. City bagged another 5 goals yesterday. We are struttin' at the minute. None more so than Super Mario, who scored the goal of the season so far. Check it out, it's hilarious. That kid kills me. In a bit. GD. PS: I lost the fuckin' quiz on a tie break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you ever cursed from a bad memory? For whatever reason, its a memory that sticks with you that may be a bit uncomfortable or annoying. Whether that memory is from a trip to the dentist or an unfortunate physical gaffe of just being clutzy or something stupid you said at the worst possible moment those memories can sometimes stick for ages. All it takes is something to trigger you mind back to that moment and you re-live that uncomfortable moment in your mind. I have a moment that sticks in my mind everytime I think of the Colorado Avalanche. It was back in 2001 when Colorado won the Stanley Cup. I was lucky enough to have a hometown hero; Elk River's Dan Hinote (who currently serves as an assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets) as one of the winners and he chose to spend his 'day with the Cup' by bringing it back to Elk River to use it to raise some money for the local hockey association and to thank the program, coaches, and community that got him to w...

The Jets are looking for ways to improve their team, but it's starting to look like there's really only one option.
Rex Ryan seemed like a good coach at first, but the team has been regressing over the past few years.
Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano has been a complete disaster so far.
General manager Mike Tannenbaum has had the reins since 2006.
Their QB situation is disastrous, with lame duck Mark Sanchez being owed $8M guaranteed next year, despite showing that he's clearly not a qualified NFL QB.
One look at the current makeup of the team is all it takes to realize that they need to blow it up.
The QB, offensive coordinator, coach, and GM all need to go.
The Jets are reportedly already seeking alternatives for the GM position, but owner Woody Johnson is hoping to keep his friend Tannenbaum on board in a salary cap management situation.
Judging by the current cap nightmare facing the Jets, I don't think Tannenbaum deserves the job.
On the contrary, this team needs an entirely clean slate.
If the Jets could pry Scott Pioli away from the Chiefs, he could be a great GM for the Jets as they rebuild. He's wearing out his welcome in Kansas City, but he proved in New England that he can create a winning team.
The coaching search should begin and end with Bruce Arians.
The job that he has done in Indianapolis during Chuck Pagano's absence has been nothing short of spectacular.
If there's someone who might have a chance to develop Sanchez into a legit NFL QB, it's Arians. If not, they can draft a QB to replace Sanchez.
Arians definitely deserves a head coaching shot, and the Jets need to completely clean house and start fresh. There aren't any better options, and if Arians would be willing to take the job, they should pounce on the opportunity.
No matter what they do, they HAVE to make some serious changes.
New York Jets need to get rid of Rex Ryan and Mike Tannenbaum
The Jets need to clean house, or they'll keep regressing

I have had this relationship for 11 years with a woman.She is married and so am I.We are awake together and meet as often as we can.She is from my cluster and we incarnate together life after life.This life we or THEY let us be awake.When we meet lightening flashes let me tell you.Don't question it.Its foretold.Nothing is chance,all is in bigger picture.When these strange things like instant attration happens or I know this person without knowing them.Don't be afraid just go with the flow it's suppose to happen.
When you know what you know you go with the flow.Meaning life is short.You came back to do something.When your something comes along JUST DO IT!Worry about problems it may cause later.
coming back
Micheal Newtons study of after life.All of the life between life come from his books plus two other authors.One was phd as well.
Time on the other side has little meaning as your always awake and never sleep.Ten years is but a blick of an eye.I guess the biggest surprise for me personally was it was so much the army in rank and so forth.If you don't progress you have to keep coming back.OThers the super type A people can't advance fast enough.The goal is to become perfect and than join once more with the universial mind from which came.
Hard to undestand totally even with all the facts.It seems a rigged game to me.
Mary and I have come back many times together.Kind of like the buddy program in service.You join together and take the same school and you are together through out.
On this plane we can share touching and sensations of all 6.
Many times we pass in the night ,like ships.It has happen to you all .You can who and when.
Only on this plane,only on this plane its not an illuison.An light energy that think any place or person and it will appear.Put they have no real arm to embrace.It is possible for two entities to touch each other light energy.In this manor private conversations can happen.An illusion of sex and that is as close it gets.
Many are happier on the other side and have to be forced to come back.THey say our planets is one of the ruffest and you get points for it.Some of the other planets are like resort after ruff life here.
if you are experiencing some drama in your life or job situation its suppose to happen.Dealing it is what makes you stay the same and come back again and again least you solve it there way.Being a saint is unnatural.Always doing the right thing just isn't going to happen.So you see the cards are stacked against you.But thats the game and now you know the rules.
Ten years past you look back it helps with booze.You know what you know.You think what a waist.To have that advanced intelligence is the difference.jEsus what a waist of life and time.But we are some total of our experiences.
I just pray I don't waist the future Mary help me.
Now scientists are saying "Oh my god look at the possible planets could contain life and they could worm hole here."
Barney and Betty Hill the most famous case of ufo abduction.One of the interesting things one of the aliens asked Betty."Is there a god and do you know god."
They could travel vast distances of space but couldn't figure the afterlife and hoping we knew.
I would yes and you are a one cell of its body.When you are awake you want a partner thats also awake or find one.Not easy.Its like being alone in family reunion.You get it but they don't.
changing future lives
Like dominos a change in this life would alter future lives.But here's the problem how would it be better or worse.By being awaken in this life you have changed future lives in that you will be awake sooner in the next life and so on until your like Cayce.Many ititys choose not to come back when there at that level just be a spirit guide to lesser spirits.
I seen a reality show the other day that made me stop in my tracks.Robots that box and the people put on this gear to move there robots arms to box.Robots that fly fighter planes and lanch missles at people with our man at the control in a base.But the new ones will be ran by computers guided from base with no maned controls.I know theres no going back but can you see whats happening.
Mars was there life nasa says yes.The aliens could be us many thousands of years ago.Maybe space beings think they can do better this time.
Its not the distination its the journey
It always amazes me to see something appearing just when you need it.OR not appearing meaning it isn't meant to be.So in your deep thoughts think about those times.
I tried to make this woman or man love me and no matter what it didn't click.Or I just walked into this wharehouse asked for a job and two years later I'm the owner unbelieveable.
I have 8 grandchildren and I tell them try alot of things go with what clicks because more then likely its meant to be.Don't waste your time a road blocks.Meaning it ain't no way this going to happen buddy!How many times have I heard that ha ha.
I'm going to see my soul mate in Las Vegas for 10 days.ITs what we came baclk for to be in each others arms through all earthly termule.The embrace at the air port a year since.I just hope I don't crash her.I have never loved or been loved equal amount at the sametime with any other female in my many lives.

Chapter Nine0 Reviews
Gabe POV
"Gabe let's go! We are going to be late to the wedding." Tessa's bitchy voice was really starting to piss me off… and she only arrived fifteen minutes ago. In my defense however, she hadn't shut up since.
Rolling my eyes, I made what seemed to be my fiftieth attempt at tying the sleek jet black tie that hung loosely around my neck. No matter how many YouTube videos I watched or how many people explained the process to me, I just couldn't do it. Apparently it aggravated Tessa because she came storming into my room muttering under her breath about how the hell I was straight if I couldn't do my own tie. Did she realize that her rambles made absolutely no sense at all? Since when were straight guys better dressers than gay guys? Never.
She yanked on the tie, nearly snapping my neck in the process. After tying it, she seized my hand and hauled me through my apartment.
Travie, one of my closest friends, was leaning against the door frame rolling his eyes. He hated Tessa with a passion, but he had never laid her so he didn't understand why I kept her around.
"Let go of his goddamn arm you crazy twit." He said before pulling me out of her grasp and shoving me out the door.
"How dare you!? God! Are you gay for him or something? You are always trying to separate us!" Tessa huffed but Travie just waved her off, muttering quietly so that I would hear but Tessa wouldn't. I chuckled quietly as he called her every derogatory, obscene name he knew.
Tessa stormed ahead of us and stood tapping her foot next to the passenger door. Travie saw this and took a shot. He grabbed the handle of my black Range Rover and flung himself into the passenger seat before slamming the door shut in Tessa's face, a wide smirk adorning his own face.
I honestly tried to keep it quiet, I really did, but I just couldn't help the loud laugh that escaped my mouth. The look on Tessa's face coupled with the smirk on Travie's… it was impossible.
Tessa sent me a murderous glare, "what the fuck, Gabe?!" she nearly screamed, throwing her arms up in the air dramatically.
"Calm down, Tess. He's Travie; what do you expect?" Apparently that was NOT the right thing to say because I could've sworn I saw the steam shooting out of her ears.
"So you aren't even going to defend me?!" She shrieked unattractively. I winced before walking towards her. Cupping her elbow, I gently pulled her towards the drivers' side. I opened the backseat door for her and motioned for her to get in.
"Are you kidding me? I'm the girl; I should be in the front!"
"Should've just opened the door yourself instead of acting like a pretentious bitch then." Travie told her calmly as he flicked through his phone.
Before Tessa could reply, I slammed the door and opened my own. "That's enough. I don't want to hear you two going at it all damn day. It's my sister's wedding, act like you at least tolerate each other. Please." I nearly begged.
Travie shot me an apologetic look while Tessa rolled her eyes and crossed her arms but, thankfully, kept quiet.
The thirty minute car ride was eerily silent. The last time these two were together and not throwing constant insults was… well I can't even remember. I don't think it has ever even happened.
We pulled up to the Japanese Garden where my sister decided to have the ceremony. I couldn't thank her enough for avoiding a stuffy church.
We all exited the car but Tessa was still pouting so I decided to try a new approach. I quickly snuck my arms around her stick thin waist and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Just stay away from him and try to have fun okay? Please Tess?" Sighing, she nodded her head in agreement and I watched her normal bitchy presence overtake her body. She may be a bitch, but at least she didn't have confidence issues; that was never attractive. Please Tessa, keep your mouth shut today I begged silently.
Keeping my arm around her waist, we followed Travie through the gates towards the guests. Looking around I noticed just how gorgeous the garden was; my sister had good taste. I would've chosen a beach though personally. Tess and I got drinks from the bar and followed Travie through the crowds. I sent polite smiles to distant family members all along the way.
I wasn't really watching where I was walking when I ran straight into Travie's back. Stumbling back slightly, I opened my mouth to tell him off but stopped when I saw the biggest grin he had ever made on his face. His eyes were focused on what seemed to be a guest in the crowd. Ignoring Tessa's tugs on my arm, I followed his eyes to a woman in a light blue dress and canary yellow heels. Her back was to us, her long dark hair flowing halfway down her back.
"Who is she Tra-" He was stalking towards her before I could even ask the question. I followed behind, curious to know who this girl was.
He slowed his footsteps as he neared her. Placing his hands over her eyes, he bent his head towards her ear and said something. She jumped slightly at the contact but brought her hands up to cover his. She quickly spun around, squealing his name, and throwing her arms around him. I shifted my eyes from her faintly familiar curves to look at her face.
I choked on the liquid I was about to swallow. What the hell was she doing here? How did she know Travie? How well did she know him? Were they sleeping together?
Completely forgetting the girl on my arm, I closed the distance between us. Her arms were still around Travie's neck and he had his on her hips. The sudden urge to rip his hands off of her overcame me and I'm sure the scowl on my face wasn't too friendly either. As I neared them, she glanced at me briefly and looked back at Travie before doing a double take.
"Gabe?" she gasped.
"Hey, Sophie." I said as calmly as possible, still glaring at the hands on her midsection. I couldn't believe she was here. I was sure I'd never see her again. Why was she here?
"What are you doing here?" We both said in unison. She wove her fingers through Travie's before answering. "The bride and groom hired me as their photographer. I'm here working."
"Holy shit! Sadie?!" I turned to see Tessa had finally made her way over. Her jaw was on the ground as she stared at Sophie. Sophie wrinkled her nose when she saw Tessa. Travis stiffened before taking a small step in front of Sophie, almost protectively.
"It's Sophie." Tessa gave her an odd look. "Huh?"
"Sophie! Her name is Sophie. Now leave her the hell alone, Tessa." Travie demanded.
Suddenly Tessa's skinny arms were squeezing my waist possessively. "Gabey honey, will you come to the bar with-"
"Soph! Sarah needs you in her dressing room right now!" Kay said hurriedly, tugging gently on Sophie's arm while glaring dangerously at Tessa. She then shifted her glare to me, hardening it ever so slightly.
"Oh what a wonderful surprise!" She said sarcastically. Sophie rolled her eyes but smiled all the same. "Isn't it though, Kay? I'm going to go check on Sarah, I'll be right back."
I panicked as she began to walk away. "Hey, wait! I'd like to see my sister. I'll come with you." I pried Tessa's hands off of me and jogged up to Sophie, who hadn't even slowed down to acknowledge me.
"Hey, slow down hun." I said gently as I placed my hand on her shoulder. Her entire body tensed but she continued walking. I removed my hand immediately but kept pace with her. For a girl wearing giant heels, she was damn fast.
"How do you know Tess?" I asked casually. She snorted and rolled her eyes before answering quietly.
"We went to high school together. She was a bitch and treated everyone like shit but somehow I was her favorite target."
"You graduated years ago, can't you both just let it go?"
She spun around, glaring at me. "It doesn't look like you know her very well and you sure as hell don't know me so why don't you just mind your own goddamn business." She hissed venomously. I had hit a nerve. There was more between her relationship with Tessa than she was letting on and I wanted to know exactly what had happened.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Her face softened but she didn't reply.
"So, you and Travie are pretty close then?" I asked as we turned down the hall where Sarah was preparing.
"Umm, yeah. I've known him for a while now. Aside from Kay, he's the closest thing I have to a best friend." She replied, shrugging. "We met at one of his gigs for Gym Class Heroes and hit it off."
"How long is 'a while'? He's never mentioned you. Do you also know Michael?" Why the hell had he never introduced us? He hadn't even let Michael, his supposed best friend, around me. What an ass.
She gave me a sly smile that I could barely read before answering. "Yes, I know Michael very well. And I'm sure he has mentioned me, you just didn't know it."
She stopped at a door and knocked quickly. "Sarah hun? It's Sophie. Kay told me you needed help with something." The door swung open to show a distressed Sarah.
Her wide eyes flickered to me and she did her best to smile. "Hey Gabe. I'm glad you're here. Sophie, come in." She said in a rush, grabbing Sophie's arm and jerking her into the room. I followed quickly, turning to close the door.
"Holy fucking shit Sarah! What the hell happened?" Sophie shrieked. My head turned towards her voice and I gasped at the sight. Sarah looked ready to cry while Sophie was holding a beautiful white dress that had deep red stains all down the front of it, her jaw on the floor.
"I'm not sure. The dress was just delivered to my room like this. What am I going to do Sophie?!" She watched curiously as Sophie brought the fabric to her nose and inhaled.
"There's no way I can get this shit out in the next two hours Sarah. It's wine. How the hell did this happen?"
Sarah sniffed, "I don't know. I really don't." I felt bad for her. Unlike me, Sarah had planned out her future from a very young age. She wanted a husband, two kids, a dog, and a white picket fence. This wedding meant a hell of a lot to her.
"Hey hey. It's okay." Sophie said soothingly. "I'll fix this, alright? I promise. Just let me take this outside for a minute. Gabe, come with me."
She gave my back a small shove after placing the dress in my hands.
After closing the door, we began walking down the hall side by side. "What are you going to do to the dress?"
"I'm soaking it in red wine and then we'll deodorize it." I gaped at her.
"Excuse me?! That is a seven thousand dollar dress! You are not soaking it in wine. No way."
She sighed but kept walking. "What do you suggest then Gabe? It looks like shit right now. If I soak it, at least it will be one color." She had me there; I didn't have a clue how to fix this.
"Fine, but don't blame me if Sarah kills you for ruining her dress." I said dryly.
"It already is ruined moron." She grabbed my hand and led me around the back of the building towards her familiar bright yellow VW.
After we bought nine bottles of cheap wine, we drove in silence. I quickly noticed that we weren't heading back to the garden. I shot her a questioning glance.
"We're going to my apartment. I have a bathtub that we can use to soak it and a balcony so it can air dry." She rummaged through the purse at her side before tossing me a phone.
"Text Travie for me would you please? Just let him know where I am." I nodded and searched for his name in her phone.
We soon pulled up to a middle class apartment building. Her apartment was small, incredibly small, but very clean. I took the box filled with wine bottles and followed her down a narrow hallway. She flipped the light switch and laughed softly.
I looked over her shoulder to see a dog lying asleep in the bathtub. "Miri, come on. Out." Sophie commanded.
"Isn't that the dog that was with you at the…" I trailed off. The dog, Miri, hopped out but remained next to Sophie who was on her knees at the edge of the tub.
"Yep." We began pouring the bottles into the tub before she gently placed the dress inside. After about ten minutes of awkward silence, she pulled it out and set it on a towel.
"Dry it off gently with the towel and then bring it out to the living room." She instructed.
"Yes ma'am!" I mocked. She flipped me off over her shoulder but I caught the small smile that emerged on her face.
I did as she instructed, being careful so as not to stain the suit I was wearing, and walked back down the hallway. Sophie was on her balcony, reaching towards the roof trying to grasp at something. I slid out of the door silently, bending over to set the dress down and listening to her cursing under her breath. She was pressed up against the railing so I walked up behind her, squishing my body up against hers. Her body shuddered beneath my own, making me smile.
"Let me help you, Angel." I whispered in her ear. Her body pressed closer to me. "I-um-need those pins. So that we-we-can hang the dress. To-um-dry." She stuttered as I ran the tip of my nose down her neck, inhaling her sweet scent.
I reached up behind her and grabbed the pins but kept them away from her hands.
"Gabe, hand them to me. I need them for the dress." She reached farther but I was much taller than her, even with the heels.
She turned around to face me so that our chests were touching. "Come on, please. I need to get this damn thing dry so-" I cut off her rambles by softly pressing my lips to hers, gently cupping her face in my hands. She froze but didn't push me away, so I continued moving my lips against hers, silently praying for her to respond. To my amazement and sheer happiness, it only took a few seconds for her to begin kissing me back.
Her lips were soft and somewhat nostalgic. I moved my hands slowly down her arms and took her hands in mine, moving them so that they rested on my neck. Before I could even rest my hands on her hips, she was running her fingers through my hair, kissing me passionately. I traced the seam of her lips asking for entrance but she denied me. Pulling back ever so slightly, I jerked my hips into hers, causing her to gasp. I took advantage of her open mouth and invaded it.
She grasped my hair tighter, pulling my face as close as humanly possible. Our tongues explored each others mouths as she moaned softly. Our breathing was becoming ragged and I could feel her beginning to pull away from lack of air so I removed my mouth from hers only to move it to her jaw and neck. She moaned my name lightly as I began to suck on the base of her neck, rubbing her sides with my hands lovingly.
"Ga-Gabe… we need to s-stop. The dress… it needs to…" She muttered almost incoherently. I pulled away and looked her in the eyes, her hands still in my hair. The dazed lust in her eyes made my pants tighten slightly.
Moving faster than I would've thought possible, I grasped the pins and fastened the dress to the balcony to air dry. As soon as I turned around to face Sophie, her hands were around my waist and our mouths were connected.
She pulled me back into her apartment, her teeth nibbling and pulling on my lower lip. When we reached the couch, she shoved me back onto it and quickly straddled my waist, causing her dress to hike up. Squeezing her toned thighs, I kissed along her collarbone. Her head lolled back and she let out a breathy moan before grinding her hips into mine, giving me a raging hard on. I could feel the heat in my pants.
I ran my hands farther up her thighs to grasp her rolling hips. "Sophie, baby." I moaned in her ear. As soon as the words left my mouth, her entire body stiffened and she flew off of my lap, breathing heavily.
"Oh my god… no, no, no, no, no…. dammit…" She muttered while running her hands through her hair.
"Sophie, what's wrong? What did I do?" I asked hesitantly. For some reason, she reminded me of a ticking time bomb and I was scared of her reaction to my words.
"What's wrong?! Are you seriously asking me what's wrong?!" She said, exasperated.
"Angel please, just tell me." I begged. The last thing I wanted was to upset her in any way.
"Fuck Gabe! You have a girlfriend! We can't do this, I can't do this."
"What girlfriend? I don't have a girl-"
"Tessa! What about her Gabe, huh?"
"Sophie, she's my date to the wedding. I swear that's all she is." That wasn't technically a lie; she wasn't my girlfriend and definitely never would be.
She rolled her eyes but I could tell she was still upset. "Sure Gabe, that's what it looked like when she was hanging all over you." I opened my mouth to object but she cut me off.
"No, don't even say anything. I don't want to hear it." With that, she nearly ran down the hallway and entered a room, slamming the door behind her.
That's the second time I've watched her run from me. Damn.

Being unable to freely go from one enemy to the other while other classes can isn't a feature, it's a bug. I'm not sure why only being able to perform to our full potential on fights that last at least a minute, while other classes shine no matter how long the fight, is considered to just be part of the class and not a problem. If we're not up to par on every fight, and other people are, that's a design problem. Spells can be situational. Classes can not.
