This n!gga messed around and got a triple-double...
And I was there to witness it.
Close thread.

I dont believe you Jim but it doesnt matter either way. I learned a long time ago to never debate with you. When someone twists what you say and puts their own spins on other peoples arguments, theres no way anyone can win in your mind. Its almost like when your in a debate, you revise your opponents post to make the debate easier for you. Same thing some of these posters were doing in here. I (metrocard too) was arguing that Carmelo is not a top 15 player this year which includes 4 months of the season, not one month. And we were both factoring in defense too, many posters on here would ignore what we wrote and reply to us talking about offense only and the past month. Thats a prime example of what you always used to do, I just feel theres other posters more worthy of my time.
But if i see you post in a game thread something like "Nice play by Shump", i might reply and say I agree. Other then that, its nothing personal. Just business as always
I disagree, Carmelo is a beast. easily top 10. Dude is bonkers. People have to much time on there hands.
But you can't be in denial about Melo giving us a lot of terrible games. I admit to Melo and his amazing play of late. But you can't admit to Melo and his fail earlier in the season. Don't you see the imbalance in that?
This is why this thread has gone so long, a lot of people are in denial and stick to their points to the death, no one is open to new ideas.
James and Durant are tier 1 SF's. A level players. MVP candidates
Melo is tier 2. Deng, Dala, and Melo B+ level players, all star players who impact the floor Deng and Dala with their defense and versatility and Melo with his scoring.

- (Interscope)
Guero is Beck's most musically vibrant recording since his groundbreaking 1996 album Odelay. Like that album, this one's produced by the Dust Brothers, but Guero isn't simply Odelay redux. While some of the new songs share Odelay's kitchen-sink dance-party aesthetic, others would sound more at home on other Beck albums, from the bossa nova-flavored Mutations to the down-home folk set One Foot in the Grave. In short, Guero is Beck successfully synthesizing different aspects of his multi-faceted career. Lyrically, the album is also considerably different from the mostly fun, good-times party vibe of Odelay – despite the often-upbeat music, this one's considerably darker and shares more in common lyrically with downer albums like Sea Change and Mutations. Overall, it's Beck's strongest album in quite awhile. 3/24/2005 - Don Yates

Thread: Our fun machines
^^ Exactly what I was doing. Grew up camping in a trailer with my folks. Owned a 24ft travel trailer for a few years and it was fun but we were looking for the "all in one" deal instead of having 2 tow vehicles. Leaning toward the Class C for the extra bunk space since we usually have 4 kids + an extra or two so tents are always in the mix for the older ones.
Gotta say though - the roadtrip portion with a motorhome is much nicer with a little space for them to move around rather than looking for the next thing to start fighting/whining/arguing about while they're shoulder to shoulder for 3-4 hours in the back seat of a truck or SUV.
I already gave in to the fact that gas mileage with a motorhome and boat in tow shouldn't even factor into the equation with what we're doing. Ford seems to dominate the class C. I'd consider a class A if it had front bunks and/or side bunks somewhere but those seem rare if at all.The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.
2001 MobiusV - Loaded with Ballast, Exile, Blood, Sweat & Tears
Hey Z - I forgot to ask. What is your Class A rated to pull? That jeep's gotta be close to to the same as a boat. Did you have to have the tow package upgraded or air bags for the rear suspension?
Curious because I talked to a guy this summer pulling a Supra 22V behind a BIG c-class, like 32ft if I recall, and he said he had to spend some money on it before he could tow with it.
I've always heard Class A are not rated for as much because of the long overhang off the rear axle.The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.
2001 MobiusV - Loaded with Ballast, Exile, Blood, Sweat & Tears
Tow capacity is 5,000 pounds and the listed curb weight of the Jeep is 3,785 pounds but with what I have it is around 4,000 pounds. The limitation is the combined weight and the GVW and I think anything above 5,000 would exceed the combined weight limitation. Not sure how all that is figured up but I once looked at the Winnebago on the Mercedes diesel chassis (Sprinter) and with all of the equipment added it only had a 3,000 towing capacity.
The rig doesn't sag at all when the boat is connected. One thing with all motor homes is when you go into a turn the back end swings out and I caught a boat fender on a pylon at a launch once. One thing my Jeep doesn't have and by law needs is a braking system but I'm leery as they tie into the existing vehicle brakes and another failure point.1998 Mobius

The exact cause of multiple myeloma is not known, so prevention is difficult to determine. Reducing risk factors may decrease the chance of developing multiple myeloma. Risk factors, like age and genetics, cannot be controlled but decreasing certain exposures may help:
- Occupational exposure to certain chemicals—People who work in the petroleum industry may come into contact with chemicals that are known to be harmful. If possible, try to find work in a different environment. If it is unavoidable, take steps to protect yourself from exposure. Check with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the Environmental Protection Agency about any available protective guidelines.
- Radiation exposure—Radiation accumulates in the body over the course of a lifetime. Radiation does occur naturally, but low doses are also delivered during medical and dental procedures. Repeated doses of this radiation may increase the risk of multiple myeloma. Work with your doctor or dentist to limit the number of exposures by only having necessary tests.
- Smoking—Quitting smoking is an important step in preventing most cancers. For people who smoke, it takes the body longer to fight infections and heal wounds. The sooner smoking is stopped, the sooner the body can start to heal. Talk to your doctor about the options available to help you successfully quit.

"She wakes to the sound of breathing. The smaller children lie tangled beside her, their chests rising and falling under winter coats and wool blankets."
So begins the New York Times story following Dasani, an 11-year-old girl living homeless in New York. Dasani lives with her parents and seven siblings in a family residence shelter. From school to dance class to home, Dasani feels the weight of poverty and an unstable family.
According to the story, one in five children in America live in poverty, "giving the United States the highest child poverty rate of any developed nation except for Romania."
In this five-part multimedia story, life told through Dasani's eyes offers an honest look at homelessness and the pursuit for a hopeful future.

Celebrities have slammed Walter James Palmer over the killing of Cecil the lion, calling the American dentist a "coward," and urging that his license be revoked.
Palmer has admitted to killing the 13-year-old predator, a favorite with foreign tourists and the subject of a study by Oxford University, but said he had hired professional guides and believed all the necessary hunting permits were in order.
Palmer sent an apology letter to his patients, but that has not stopped stars from sharing strong words about him.
Betty White slammed the Minnesota dentist, saying to The Associated Press on Thursday: "You don't want to hear some of the things I want to do to that man."
"It's such a heartbreaker," White continued. "You can't even talk about it, and to see this king of the jungle and personifying it in every way, this gorgeous creature. How can somebody do that?"
Mia Farrow tweeted the dentist's full office address on Wednesday, saying: "#CecilTheLion -Gentle protector of 6 cubs. Loved by many. Killed by Dentist Walter Palmer." She later deleted the tweet.
Earlier this week, Jimmy Kimmel took time out of his late-night show to reprimand the dentist, saying: "I'm honestly curious to know why a human being would feel compelled to do that. How is that fun?"

MIAMI -- Sylvan "Van" Myers, a titan of the media and vending industries, died here on Feb. 12. He was 95.
Myers spent 44 years at Wometco Enterprises, rising through the ranks to head the data division and later overseeing bottling, vending and foodservice operations. He became president of the company in 1983.
Investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts took over Wometco in 1984 in a deal worth $1 billion. Assets included 45 movie theaters, three television stations, 47 cable TV systems, the Miami Seaquarium and the Citrus Tower, along with the vending machine and soft drink divisions (at the time one of the largest Coca-Cola bottlers in the nation). In 1994, Cobb Theatres bought the Wometco movie theater chain. The Cobb chain would later fold into Regal Entertainment Group. Wometco today still owns Seaquarium and a franchise of Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin' Donut stores in Miami, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico.
After retiring in 1984, Myers devoted himself to the south Florida community and working to improve people's lives, son Bruce Myers told the Miami Herald.
Myers was born in Norfolk, VA, in 1917. His father wanted him to join the family's mattress company, but Myers had bigger plans and went north to Harvard University. There, he met Jane who became his wife in 1940. Soon after, he entered the Navy and served as a lieutenant during World War II; he was assigned to an amphibious craft in Okinawa.
After the war, he returned to Boston where he would be contacted by Mitchell Wolfson, the cofounder of Wometco, a prominent Miami-based entertainment company that founded WTVJ, Miami's first TV station. Myers followed Wolfson down to Miami in 1946.
When Wolfson died in 1983, Myers became president and chief executive, responsible for overseeing its sale to KKR. During his short presidency, Myers is said to have worked tirelessly as an advocate for Wometco's employees.
In addition to his wife Jane and son Bruce, Myers is survived by daughter Catherine Myers, sister Valerie Rothschild and several grandchildren.
Grandson Carl Moser is general manager of Cardinal Canteen (Ashland, VA) and president of the Virginia Automatic Merchandising Association. Moser fondly remembers his grandfather as an influential figure of the vending industry. Myers loved to attend the Atlantic Coast Exposition during the 1960s and '70s, Moser told VT.
There will be a celebration of Sylvan "Van" Myers' life at 1 p.m., Feb. 23, at the Coral Gables Country Club, 997 N. Greenway Dr.

Marineland Replacement Impeller for Explorer, Eclipse System 3 gallon (PFES03), Hex 5, and Corner 5 integrated aquarium systems. Replacing an old impeller is essential to keep your filter running powerfully and efficiently.
This specific impeller is green.
Old impellers can result in decreased water flow, poor circulation, and, in some cases, even an unpleasant grinding noise. Replace the impeller to reinvigorate your filter with strong, silent water pull and maximum circulation.

Vole update
By Just Me
from St Johnsbury, VT
well I thought these would work after the initial (they moved into my house) but they are back in the garden I sat on my deck and watched them run from my string beans, through the carrots and in between the sweet potato grow bags jumping over the trap set between the bags Just bought the sticky traps to put in between the bags they are very clever little creatures and if I could shoot a pellet gun I would take aim half of my string beans have teeth marks so save ur money if u have voles
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gone are the gophers!!!
By Carol
from La Pine Oregon
I have one in each planting beds. Now the gophers are living way out back. No harm to my dogs, wild birds or squirrels. Adds a bit of sparkle when the wind blows.
Mole Chaser - FAIL
By Mark
from Hood River, OR
The Mole Chaser did NOT deter moles/gophers even within a 5 foot radius from the pole. It's a nice garden ornament, but in bright sun the reflection from the brushed aluminum is intense. We painted ours with black matte spray paint. CANNOT recommend this to deter moles.

Purchased three mole chasers for a large rural lot. Had to move one to better catch the wind. They look good and appear to have caused gophers to move out!
Not enough twirl
By De-De
from Lowell, IN
Even in above average winds it does not want to spin.
Preliminary review appears positive
By Chaos
Set up two in a combination garden, yard setting where gophers have been a problem. No evidence of any new gopher presence. Still evaluating for continuing effectiveness. Looks good in the yard.
It Works!
By KK
from Texas
This windmill really keeps the moles away from my garden area. This is my second one to buy over the years. It works very well and looks good in the garden.
Seems to work so far but doesn't cover square feet promised
By Melissa Mole Chaser
from New Mexico
Perhaps you should sell two for a discount because the first one only drove the critters a few yards away. I ordered a second one.

After a fire at a California state park, volunteers used satellite imagery to study the recovery
Henry Coe Park in Santa Clara County is big: 87,000 acres of former ranch land, dotted with oak trees, meadows that burst with wildflowers each spring, and vast stretches of chaparral. Given that Coe is nestled near Silicon Valley, it makes sense that the retirees who volunteer here bring a certain technical bent to their appreciation of the place.
Case in point: the Lick Fire of September 2007 (Craig Miller reported on it for The California Report). Named the Lick Fire after it was first spotted from the nearby Lick Observatory, the wildfire burned 47,760 acres in the Mt. Hamilton Range by the time it was contained, eight days later.
Since then, citizen scientists who volunteer for the park have been paying close attention to see how the burned land bounces back. In particular: Bob Patrie, a former project manager in Silicon Valley, and Winslow Briggs, Director Emeritus at Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Plant Biology. Together, they've pored over satellite imagery to document the impact of the fire on various plant communities in Coe Park.

Wall St Journal
Thursday, Sept 17th, 2009
For three decades, Rep. Ron Paul has waged a lonely battle in Congress to abolish the Federal Reserve. But he has more foot soldiers across the nation today, particularly after the financial crisis, who are leading the drive for wider congressional audits of the central bank. (See today's Journal story for more on their movement.)
In his new book — " End the Fed" — released today, Rep. Paul walks through his critique of the central bank and lays out a strategy (briefly) for eliminating it. We sat down with the congressman to hear his views on a money system backed by gold, the Fed's challenge of withdrawing its stimulus and his legislation to audit the central bank. Excerpts of the interview:
What would a world without the Fed look like?
You'd go back to the day that if you wanted to borrow money to build a house, somebody would've had to save some money. You wouldn't have zero savings and all the credit in the world. That's just a total distortion of capitalism. Capital comes from savings. The part you don't use for everyday living which you have left over, you reinvest and you save or you loan it out. We were living with something absolutely bizarre that had nothing to do with capitalism. We had no savings whatsoever yet there was all the credit in the world.
So without the Fed, there wouldn't be as much credit.
Yeah, it would be different. If you were selling me a car and the car was worth $10,000 and I didn't want to pay cash, you could take credit from me. You've got to have something to measure it by. What is a dollar? We don't even know what a dollar is. There's no definition for a dollar. There's never been a time in law that said a Federal Reserve note is a dollar. That's the basic flaw. There's no definition for money. We've built a worldwide economy on a measuring rod that varies every single day. That's why it was fragile, and that's why it collapsed. There was no soundness to it. So that's why you have to have a stable unit of account.
If you live in a primitive society, you'd trade goods. And if you wanted to advance, then you would trade a universal good, which would be a coin. But we've become sophisticated and smart and say, 'Oh, you don't have to go through that. We'll just print the money. And we'll trust the government not to print too much, and distribute it fairly.' That's often just a total farce. People are realizing that it is.

Conventional vs. Remote Visitation: Hybrid Model Delivers Tailored Solution
Although video visitation has become commonplace in correctional facilities during the last decade, administrators and agencies are beginning to understand that the application of evolving technology is no longer an all-or-nothing choice between conventional face-to-face and remote video visitation models.
In an environment of ever-tightening budgets constraints and increasing inmate populations, video visitation can augment conventional visitation operations in a tailored and cost-effective hybrid model that enhances inmate management flexibility, operational efficiency, and facility safety and security.
Many video visitation systems are hardware based, featuring rudimentary software programs that provide basic push-to-connect functionality. The newest generation of visitation solutions goes beyond the old model to provide comprehensive, integrated, scalable solutions that integrate non-proprietary hardware with cross-compatible software that interfaces with new or existing jail management systems.
Integrated hardware- and software-neutral solutions enable automated scheduling, management and data reporting of visitation operations, while supporting a suite of facility operations and management applications.
In evaluating a new video visitation solution to augment an existing remote visitation system or conventional face-to-face visitation operations, agencies and administrators should consider a range of software factors:
Courtroom arraignments and attorney-client conferences, educational services or medical consultations can be integrated with new systems.
Online scheduling capabilities streamline operations for management and staff, and facilitate more efficient and effective allocation of resources. Online scheduling can also reduce many of the problems that arise with traditional scheduling processes, such as conflicts and missed appointments, inmate and visitor agitation and outbursts, and inmate- and visitor-staff conflicts. The software increases efficiency by allowing a single platform to schedule and manage all visitations — whether face-to-face, video, public or professional — within a single facility or across a multifacility system.
The software can interface with the JMS to track inmate movements and schedule a visit at a video station in the inmate's dorm or a face-to-face booth nearest the inmate's housing assignment. If the inmate is moved to another housing unit or facility, the system will automatically attempt to reschedule the visit in the new location.
The system is also designed to reduce the unnecessary presence of visitors in the facility and can eliminate many of the negative aspects associated with first-come, first-served visitation protocols, including reception area overcrowding and visit bottleneck cancellations or refusals.
If a visit needs to be cancelled or rescheduled, the system automatically sends a voice call and/or e-mail notification to the inmate and visitor. Automated advance notification can reduce the likelihood of someone arriving at a facility to learn that a visit has been cancelled, and the agitation and potential for conflict associated such situations.
Visit authorization and recording capabilities allow authorized users, such as agency staff or investigators, to flag specific inmates or visitors so the visit is automatically recorded. Once recorded, investigators can review the visitations at a network terminal without additional staff involvement.
Configurable parameters, such as privilege-based user levels, owner-defined visitation quotas, variable quotas, owner-defined scheduling times and schedule rotation flexibility, can be used as an inmate management tool to reward specific inmates with face-to-face visitation or additional remote visits for good behavior.
Web Utilization
Web-based public or inmate scheduling is an increasingly important factor in an agency's decision to utilize technology.
Web-based solutions create operational and staffing efficiencies for agencies by placing the responsibility for visit scheduling and follow-up confirmation on inmates and/or the public.
Visitation scheduling can be completely automated with no involvement required of correctional staff, which is increasingly desirable as agencies seek to replace manual operations with technology-driven solutions that utilize touchscreen, inmate-initiated kiosks for financial account, commissary, library and legal case services.
A hybrid visitation solution that combines face-to-face and video visitation capabilities can help correctional agencies optimize their budgets, while increasing overall operational efficiency and flexibility, creating a safer environment, and increasing the potential number of visitations.
The solution should not dictate the policy. Your visitation solution, whether conventional, remote or hybrid, should be tailored to the realities and constraints of your correctional facility and to your agency's needs and objectives.

On Aug. 9 the Copyright Alliance announced that 14 top law firms have come together to establish a legal advisory board for the organization. Loeb & Loeb attorney Barry Slotnick said, "We are looking forward to interacting directly with the Copyright Alliance to develop and share information and analysis of the critical legal issues facing copyright owners today. We are also especially excited about the opportunity to develop educational programs for the policymaking community and for future attorneys." This unprecedented cooperation is bound to introduce a meaningful and innovative new presence to the U.S. copyright law landscape. Alliance member MPAA blogged, "We welcome these experts' willingness to contribute their knowledge to our endeavors to strengthen copyright protection for the millions of Americans in the creative community." The alliance welcomes inquiries from additional firms interested in participating.
A seized website's pre-trial petition that its Rojadirecta.com and Rojadirecta.org domain names should be returned, pending trial, was denied in the Southern District of New York's U.S. District Court on Aug. 4. The judge found that the owner of the sites, Puerto 80, failed to support its claims of substantial hardship, in part because its content, which includes links to videos of sporting events and user discussion forums, is now hosted at several similar international domains. These are readily accessible to U.S. Internet users but lie outside the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and thus cannot be seized. Consumer advocates the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, "This ruling is profoundly disappointing, to say the least." From the foundation's point of view, seizing Web addresses is both heavy-handed and ineffective. However, from the viewpoint of copyright owners victimized by Internet piracy, such seizures provide a promising new tool likely to convey the message to consumers that Internet infringement cannot be treated as business as usual.
Also in the Southern District of New York's U.S. District Court, litigants Cablevision and Viacom settled their lawsuit over Cablevision's use of Viacom programs in its iPad streaming app. On Aug. 10 a joint statement from the companies read, "Viacom and Cablevision have agreed to resolve their pending litigation, and the Viacom programming will continue to appear on Cablevision's Optimum apps for iPad and other IP devices." Viacom had sued Cablevision in June shortly after reaching an agreement to put its similar litigation with Time Warner Cable on "standstill."
On Aug. 5 the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center task force launched its new website, www.iprcenter.gov. "Embedded" participants include 16 U.S. agencies led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as Interpol, the Mexican Revenue Service, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In a sense, this is where NCIS (the agency) protects "NCIS" (the television program). Last March Politico published an in-depth look at the task force's role in the "Operation In Our Sites" seizures of domain names used by infringing websites.
Efforts are underway to mitigate the damage experienced by UK independent labels following the London riots on Aug. 8 that caused their CD stocks held at the Enfield Sony DADC warehouse to be consumed by fire. On Aug. 11 Britain's Association of Independent Music (website, Twitter) and distribution group PIAS (website, Twitter) announced the establishment of a fund to be fairly distributed through loans to help indies survive the business consequences of this significant loss. AIM Chairman and CEO Alison Wenham said, "The independents will survive this disaster, as they have survived other business challenges.... We wish to thank everyone in the community for their generous and unfettered support." Three male suspects have been arrested and charged with violent disorder and arson. Sony estimates its total stock loss at more than 1.5 million optical discs.
Aug. 11 was the first day that instances of consumer copyright infringement in New Zealand started to count toward the country's new three-strikes law penalizing repeat offenders. Separately, a Music Matters online awareness campaign launched in Australia and New Zealand on Aug. 10, highlighting the cultural contributions of local artists.
Late last month in India, two separate courts ruled against the Indian Performing Right Society Limited's entitlement to collect radio broadcast royalties for musical compositions threatening the continuation of performance royalties in the country. On Aug. 5 multiple GRAMMY winner and International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers President Robin Gibb said, "On behalf of CISAC, I strenuously urge the Indian government to take immediate remedial measures to correct the wrong that will result from the outcome of these judgments."
On Aug. 4 the Consumer Electronics Association released a study finding that 39 percent of consumers who are moderately interested in audio are willing to spend more to get more when it comes to better quality audio equipment. CEA Senior Research Analyst Ben Arnold said, "Manufacturers and retailers have the unique ability to educate consumers on what constitutes high-quality audio.... Hearing the difference among superior audio products can effectively sway consumers to consider and purchase high-quality audio technology."

Louisville enters the 2013 season as a potential top-five team, and understandably so: It boasts a favorable schedule, 17 returning starters and, perhaps most significantly, Heisman candidate Teddy Bridgewater.
However, its glut of talent has brought a new problem for head coach Charlie Strong -- keeping agents away from his players. The Louisville athletic department sent a letter to agents last week asking that they abstain from contacting players and their families until after the 2013 season. Strong said that he won't allow the agents who ignore this request to be involved in the process to represent Cardinals' players after those players leave the program.
"I will cut [the agents] off if they continue to contact them," Strong said. "At the end of season, I will make sure you have no chance to represent our players. Not that I'm being arrogant, but I want to put a statement out there: You continue to mess with our players, this is what we're going to do."
The level of agent interest is new territory for Strong at Louisville, as the Cardinals didn't have a single player drafted in this April's NFL draft. (In Strong's first two seasons, no Cardinal was drafted higher than the third round.) But both Bridgewater and receiver DeVante Parker, Louisville's junior stars, are already projected as early 2014 picks. That high-end talent, along with a slew of other promising young players, has brought a more intense agent focus. Strong said he began to notice a change after Louisville soundly beat Florida in last season's Sugar Bowl to finish the year 11-2. In fact, Strong had a representative from the NFL Players Association address his team and their parents in March prior to spring practice.
"What I have to battle, not only the expectations, but now everyone is trying to get into your program," Strong said. "That wasn't happening before."
Strong has instructed his players to turn the numbers of any agents in to him or his director of football operations, Cliff Snow.
"I don't want any contact until the end of the season," Strong said. "We're just trying to do it right. I don't want [players] to feel like I'm keeping them from talking to an agent. But I don't know why now, there's nothing an agent can do for them now."
Strong said he's frustrated with agents who are attempting to go through the players and their families and not through the Louisville program. He plans to hold a panel for his players to meet potential agents at the end of the season.

Aaron Gordon can deliver, even while sick
The nation's sixth-ranked prospect, Aaron Gordon, did a little bit of everything during the four-day Torrey Pines Holiday Classic and took home an all-tournament award - he also did it while dealing with a cold all week. Even with all the talented recruits taking part in the tournament, it just felt different when Gordon took the floor. All the attention was on him during his games - from both the crowd and opposing defenses - yet he poured on 35 points in San Jose (Calif.) Archbishop Mitty's last game of the week.
Gordon has continued to add some bulk to his frame and he used it to his advantage last week. The five-star Arizona target did a multitude of things for the Monarchs throughout the week. There were stretches where he would be on the block, and there were others when the 6-foot-7 prospect played the point - but he always was a force on defense.
He wants to play on the wing at the next level, so he said that his all-around game still needs to be polished, but Gordon is happy with where he's at in his development right now.
Gabe York can take over a game at any moment
GOAZCATS.com took in two of future Wildcat guard Gabe York's games at the Orange Holiday Classic last week. There were times when the four-star UA signee didn't look to be in top form, yet during those times he was still the best player on the floor. York opened the tournament with a 17-point effort, but he closed it on a high note.
In Orange (Calif.) Lutheran's win in the championship game, York went from having an average - by his standards - outing to an outstanding game in a matter of minutes. After battling with Santa Ana (Calif.) Foothill in a tight game, York took over the game in the final minutes of the fourth quarter and the overtime period.
It's that ability that could help the shooting guard prospect earn early playing time next season for the Wildcats.
Sean Miller will be happy with his future players
Like York, class of 2012 UA signee Grant Jerrett struggled at times during La Verne (Calif.) Lutheran's four days at the Torrey Pines Holiday Classic, but he too finished the tournament with a big-time performance.
The power forward recruit did a little bit of everything for the Trojans in their quadruple-overtime win over Compton (Calif.) High last Friday. Jerrett was dominant in every facet of the game and finished with 35 points and an all-tournament nod.
Head coach Sean Miller's recruiting class is ranked No. 1 for a reason, and York and Jerrett showed how effective they can be last week.
Southern California has some intriguing young recruits
While Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha, which was led by its upperclassmen (Jerami Grant, BeeJay Anya and James Robinson), took home the title, there was a good collection of young prospects at the Torrey Pines Holiday Classic - especially from Southern California.
Whether it was Compton sophomore Isaiah Bailey taking over in his team's game with La Verne Lutheran, or Los Angeles (Calif.) Windward freshman Mason Shepherd showing no fear against Anya in the championship game, the younger recruits really held their own during the tournament.
Shepherd, who is listed at 6-foot-6 and already has a good frame, was thoroughly impressive during the four-day Classic. He plays with a sense of calm that other freshmen just don't have at this point in their development.
Bailey showed his ability as a do-it-all type of player for Compton. He displayed a lot of confidence and didn't shy away from taking a big shot or trying to make things happen for his team. He also showed an ability to play anywhere on the floor as he wasn't afraid to play with his back to the basket on certain possessions.
Woodland Hills (Calif.) Taft would be scary with Shaqquan Aaron
Taft head coach Jason Hart is still waiting for 2014 four-star recruit Shaqquan Aaron to be cleared to play this season, but the Toreadors still took fourth place thanks to a big tournament from UTEP commit Anthony January. The three-star January, who was just recently cleared himself, had a solid four days and earned an all-tournament selection.
Hart's squad fell in the third-place game to a well-coached team from Newark (Calif.) Newark Memorial, but they showed plenty of promise even without the nation's 15th-ranked 2014 prospect. Taft will be a team to watch come playoff time, especially if Aaron takes the court at any point this season.

Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center
Official Physicians for BNP Paribas
From March 6 to 22, 2010, members of Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center provided 24-hour comprehensive medical care to the athletes of the BNP Paribas Open.Held in Indian Wells, the BNP Paribas is the fifth most well-attended tennis tournament in the world and celebrated its 35th year in 2010.
Patrick St. Pierre,MD,Director of Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Research at Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center, led the team of Eisenhower physicians along with Stephen Steele,DO, head Primary Care physician for the tournament. Both physicians worked alongside the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) World Tour and Sony Ericsson WTA (Women's Tennis Association) Tour trainers. Euthym Kontaxis,MD,Medical Director of Eisenhower Tennity Emergency Department, directed emergency services for the event.
"It was a privilege to provide high quality health care and work with these world-class tennis professionals," says Dr. St. Pierre. "The event draws 300 of the top male and female tennis players, their trainers, coaches and therapists during the two-week tournament. These young athletes are on the road about nine months out of the year, so they bring with them a whole host of medical and orthopedic problems. They relied on us for a variety of medical services.We saw fractures, sprains, strains, gastrointestinal issues, infectious disease problems, eye injuries, dental problems, dermatology issues — the whole gamut."
The Eisenhower Sports Medicine Program is led by Dr. St. Pierre and Dr. Steele.Along with Matthew Diltz, MD,Drs. St. Pierre and Steele are team physicians for College of the Desert sports programs, Palm Springs Power Baseball and many of the valley's high school sports programs, in addition to caring for their patients in their daily practices.
"The great thing about working with world-class athletes is to be able to take what we learn and apply it to the patients we see each day," says Dr. St. Pierre."The pros leave the locker room having been stretched by a therapist for 30 minutes, and they continue with warm-up exercises before they take the court. The professional athletes have had injuries before, and realize that their longevity and prosperity is based on how well they warm up and protect their bodies. For many amateur athletes, they tie on their shoes, grab their racket, hit a few balls, and consider it a warm-up. This lack of preparation often leads to injury."
Help for Every Type of Athlete
Generally, sports medicine means the care of the athlete. The Eisenhower Sports Medicine Program takes care of high school football teams, college teams and professional teams.
In addition, the Eisenhower Sports Medicine professionals take care of everyday athletes, helping people with their exercise programs and injuries that might occur in the gym, working out, hiking, playing tennis or playing golf.
• Athletics should not stop when you graduate from high school or college.
Everybody is an athlete and can participate in some form of exercise whether it is hiking, walking around the neighborhood, cycling, etc. All of these activities are athletic and important to a person's health.
• The Sports Medicine community is focused on not only treating, but also preventing injuries.
Fitness, exercise and proper nutrition are stressed. "For people to be happier and healthier into their 80s they need to think about exercise and the benefits of staying in shape and maintaining an appropriate weight," says Patrick St. Pierre, MD. "The patients I see with sports injuries who are 70 or 80 years old and fit and exercising, are much happier and healthier than the patients who are not exercising."

I`m getting more and more excited as it`s only 15 days until Eurobasket 2011 begins.
It looks like Spain will once again be the team to beat and to add to their talent they have now got Serge Ibaka because he has recently become a naturalised Spaniard.
I`m looking forward to seeing what Great Britain can do with Luol Deng.
Will anyone else on this forum be watching Eurobasket?

LOS ANGELES – The Kings have a neat way of introducing themselves on the Staples Center video board.
Each member of the starting lineup is pictured in front of his engraved name on the Stanley Cup.
Two of those names aren't in the picture for the defending champs: defensemen Willie Mitchell and Matt Greene, who were such diligent patrolmen in front of Jonathan Quick's net last season.
On Monday it was Jake Muzzin's time to start etching and sketching.
Muzzin is known for an irresistible shot, but first he and the other young Kings' D-men have to do the heavy lifting in their own end. For most of two periods they could not resist the Ducks' forwards, and Anaheim got into the third period tied 2-2 with valid reasons to think it should be leading.
But Anze Kopitar took a grand tour behind Viktor Fasth's net and fed a puck out to Slava Voynov, who made it 3-2, Kings, early in the third.,
And when Sheldon Souray drew the Ducks' first penalty of the game, Muzzin put on his welder's hat and started carving.
He got the puck high in the slot, looked off Fasth and the rest of the Ducks, and buzzed home the most important goal in the Kings' 5-2 victory – only the Ducks' third loss in regulation this season.
And it was a reminder that the Kings have medicated whatever Stanley Cup hangover they migiht have felt in late January.
Meanwhile, the Ducks lost their winning streak and Fasth's undefeated record. That was inevitable, but Coach Bruce Boudreau didn't like the defensive slippage he saw on the Kings' third and fourth goals.
"Our forwards had their guys on Brown's goal, but we left the middle of the ice open," Boudreau said. "One of our defensemen (Bryan Allen) got caught on the boards and Cam (Fowler) didn't gap-up like he needed to. It was exactly like a goal he (Brown) scored last year to make it 3-2, and as soon as he got the puck I could see what he was going to do."
On the go-ahead goal by Voynov, with Justin Williams pestering Fasth? Boudreau will look at the tape to see which Duck allowed Voynov time and space.
"This happens in all of sport," Boudreau said. "When you outplay a team and you don't come away with the lead, it comes back to bite you every time."
Saku Koivu acknowledged that the Ducks didn't have the juice to hold off the rampaging Kings at the end, with Anaheim having played Sunday night.
But he looked back at a power play early in the third period, when Dwight King hooked Bobby Ryan, who went scattering if he'd been in a Tarantino flick. The Ducks had solid chances and came away with nothing.
"We had great chances and didn't get anything going," Koivu said. "Then they scored a couple, and for the last 10 minutes we ran out of gas a little bit, didn't get anything going."
So the Ducks fell out of their 13-2-1 trees, but even now they've on a pretty strong limb.
Their trademark has been a refusal to let a pothole damage their axles. They have shown resilience, the lack of which was a vexation to Boudreau when he showed up two Decembers ago.
It hasn't been just the comebacks. It's how quickly the Ducks have dispelled the bad vibes.
In the victory over the Kings at home, Ryan Getzlaf answered a Kings goal in 1:44, and Kyle Palmieri did the same in 2:02.
In Detroit, Matt Beleskey struck back in 46 seconds to tie it, 1-1.
Later in that game Corey Perry created another 2-2 tie only 65 seconds after the Red Wings took the lead.
Against Nashville, Beleskey tied it 1-1 only 3:54 after the Ducks fell behind, and Patrick Maroon did the same thing later in that game, 6:37 after the Predators scored.
In the middle of a fervent second period Monday night, it happened again, when Koivu answered Dustin Penner's goal in 2:31. That put the Ducks up 2-1.
"Then we had chances to make it 3-1 or even 4-1," Boudreau said.
They couldn't, and when Kopitar dug a puck on the boards and fed it to Brown in the middle, the Kings' captain zapped it off the crossbar. Oddly, the shot landed just outside the goal line before it spun back into the net for a 2-2 tie, 2:07 left in the period.
That adjourned a second period that showed why you can make the case that a Ducks-Kings game, these days, is the best show in Southern California sports.
On Monday the Kings showed they knew how to belt out the third verse like Shirley Bassey. Sounded a lot like "Ringfinger."

Would you mind explaining how you went about fixing that ear? Looks great
I'll post pics and explain it when I get home later
I've done repairs similarly on ear liners, but I don't see how you could ever do a repair like that on a bondo ear unless it was done on a mount repair/restoration project, which I've done?
Recdec1 your welcome. Trophy specialist I'm not sure if you could bondo one this chewed up.

Moving to the cloud. Running in the cloud. Stored in the cloud. Accessed from the cloud: these days is seems like everything is happening "in the cloud". But what exactly is this nebulous concept?
The short answer is that it's somewhere at the other end of your internet connection – a place where you can access apps and services, and where your data can be stored securely. The cloud is a big deal for three reasons:
That's important because there's a shift going on from office-based work to working on the move. This shift is reflected in computer hardware sales: in 2015 about 270 million desktop and laptop computers will be sold, compared to 325 million tablets and almost 2 billion smartphones.
That makes the cloud a very good place to run business software like customer relationship management (CRM) applications – software that users need to access reliably at any time, wherever they are, and on any device.
I don't need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster… carrying around these non- connected computers is byzantine by comparison.
Steve Jobs, 1997
The Internet has its roots in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the early 1990s that it had any relevance for businesses. The World Wide Web was born in 1991, and in 1993 a web browser called Mosaic was released that allowed users to view web pages that included graphics as well as text. This heralded the first company web sites – and not surprisingly, most of these belonged to companies involved in computing and technology.
As Internet connections got faster and more reliable, a new type of company called an Application Service Provider or ASP started to appear. ASPs took existing business applications and ran them for their customers. The ASP would buy the computing hardware and keeping the application running, and the customer would pay a monthly fee to access it over the Internet.
But it wasn't until right at the end of the 1990s that cloud computing as we know it today appeared. That's when salesforce.com introduced its own multi-tenant application which was specifically designed:
Since then the cloud has grown and grown: in 2013 worldwide spending on cloud servicets ran to an estimated $47 billion. And that's set to more than double to over $108 billion by 2017 as companies invest in cloud services as the foundation for new, competitive offerings.
With a cloud app, you just open a browser, log in, and start working.
That means a field sales representative using cloud-based CRM can get all the information they need from their mobile device. Contact notes can be updated in real time so they are always fresh and complete and available to others – no more waiting to get back to the office to type it in. And sales managers know exactly which deals will close and when, from their desktop machines in their offices, or their tablets or phones when they are out and about.
And this all happens without any hardware to buy and manage, or software to install and update. That's because the hardware and software required is all the responsibility of the cloud company that runs the app. Companies such as salesforce.com have years of experience managing their cloud infrastructure and making sure that it's secure and reliable so that you don't have to.
You can run all kinds of apps in the cloud:
You can even build your own social, mobile and real-time employee apps and run them in the cloud. The latest innovations in cloud computing are making business applications even more mobile and collaborative.
If you're a Facebook or Twitter user you've probably come to expect relevant information pushed to you in real time; business applications like Sales Cloud are heading in that direction as well.
Need help? Ask a question on an enterprise social network like Salesforce Chatter and others in the company can jump in with the information you're after.

Without the cloud, life would be very different. It's become so integral to our everyday lives that most people use it without even realising. In fact for many people life without the cloud would be unthinkable: without it there would be no Facebook, no Twitter, no Gmail, and no Spotify.
The cloud has transformed the business landscape too. Today millions of organisations around the world rely on cloud services for everything from document creation and backup to social CRM and accounts, and just about every application imaginable in between:
Adoption of the cloud has been swift and global. Here are some of the most important reasons why:
If you've ever been involved in the implementation of a new application you'll know it can take months or even years to get it up and running. But with a cloud-based application you can cut through this complexity. In many cases you can sign up and start using the application instantly, and even the most wide-ranging enterprise applications are usually up and running in a matter of days or weeks rather than months or years.
Implementing a new application used to mean considerable capital expenditure in new equipment – not to mention the cost of licenses, integration and the inevitable consultants – but with cloud software these capital expenditure costs are dramatically reduced or even completely eliminated. Instead you simply pay a monthly fee, transforming a significant capital expenditure into predictable operational expense.
With cloud-based applications you can increase or decrease the number of users as your needs change over time. That means you pay only for what you need, and you never have to worry about running out of capacity.
Patching, upgrading and testing applications can take up days of your IT staff's time every month, but with cloud applications none of this is necessary.
That's because it's all handled in the cloud, leaving your staff with more time to work on new projects and innovations.
Cloud applications are designed to be accessed securely from anywhere and from any device.
Companies lose an average of 263 laptops a year, a 2010 study found, and if they contain confidential data then each loss has serious security implications. But with cloud applications your data is stored securely in the cloud, so a stray laptop is just an inconvenience, not a potential disaster.
You'll find that many of your existing business applications have a cloud capability – from office productivity to CRM and sales management tools – so you can move your apps into the cloud at a pace that suits your business.
With predictable costs, controlled risk and immediate gains in flexibility, the business case is strong. All you have to do is take the first step.

The Clean Air Act is a piece of legislation that is designed to improve the health of every American citizen through regulation of pollution and strict attention to air quality. Pelican Refining Company LLC, a Texas-based oil company operating in Louisiana, was found to be in violation of the Act and received its sentencing this month - a fine of $12 million for purposely causing the violations and attempting to cover up its wrongdoing.
The cost, a $10 million fine for criminal wrongdoing and an additional $2 million to be spent on community service-based environmental improvements, is the largest of its kind in Louisiana and is a good reminder that though much progress has been made in keeping the air clean and healthy, there is always room for improvement.
While the majority of companies take steps to comply with regulations, the upcoming tightening restrictions on the Clean Air Act may reveal that companies that value profits over public safety will do everything they can to avoid reducing their emissions at the expense of their bottom line.
Rather than waiting for those corporations to fall in line, protect your family from harmful pollutants now by investing in a medical-grade air purifier to keep the air in your home fresh and healthy.

In the past few years, it seems that first installments of a new game series have a specific and unique goal in mind, where following titles depart from these goals in favor of a more straight-forward, action-driven approach. The two best examples of this are Mass Effect and Dead Space. Where the first Mass Effect game sought to be a deep RPG experience, the second installment was more about being a fine tuned game with epic set pieces and action. Similarly, Dead Space turned from a game of adrenaline-fueled atmosphere into a game of instantaneous, relentless excitement. Is Dead Space 3 looking to be more chills than thrills, or are we in store for more Michael Bay-esque explosions?
Well, comparing Dead Space 2 to Michael Bay is admittedly cruel. Yet Dead Space has become unabashedly fast-paced and has sacrificed all notions of subtlety as the series has progressed. Though, I imagine that it's difficult to not only recreate fear but to make it feel fresh again. Unlike zombies, necromorphs used to be the unknown. They were fast, deadly, cunning, and shooting them in the head wasn't nearly as effective as taking skillful shots to dismember them. It was unsettling to sit in a near silent Ishimura, standing in place all but knowing the gruesome creatures were about to ambush you from the vents.
To understand how Dead Space got to Dead Space 3, we have to remember Isaac Clarke. He is, or was, a lowly engineer, turning space-aged shop tools into weapons for survival. Isaac was stuck on the abandoned drilling rig merely trying to make his way to safety. In the sophomore title, he's institutionalized after shit hits the fan, and left vulnerable as the necromorph infection spreads. With no other choice, Isaac yet again makes his efforts to see tomorrow, and it's a disaster around every corner. The entire tone for the Isaac's second adventure is consistently blazing. The consequences of insanity keep the story fresh and introduce a new type of fear altogether.
In Dead Space 3, Isaac is grey-haired, and his life is in shambles. But he also gets to choose his fate in this game, and he decides to be a soldier. In this way, I feel like Dead Space 3 may have divorced its roots and the character elements that made it most compelling and relatable. I can imagine being an engineer if I was born in a different time, but I'm not ever signing up to fight necromorphs. Despite this, there are some poignant questions with perhaps unexpected answers in Dead Space 3.
I like the original Dead Space game most, and despite the second game being less charming and chilling, I had a more raw fun with it. From what I saw, Dead Space 3 is looking to capitalize on this "fun" territory even more. Dead Space 3 is much like 2 in the sense that every scene feels like a cutscene and weaves seamlessly into scripted events. Exploration goes from taking out a few baddies into falling down a shaft and back to gameplay as a new monster arrives. This is done flawlessly and drives the game while allowing the player to feel they're a part of the interaction even when they're not.
Obviously, there are some differences in Dead Space 3 that go beyond its feel and narrative. The new weapons, crafting system, new approach to ammo and more are just as relevant to the game as anything else. Also, there's co-op and other fun stuff. I honestly didn't get enough time with them to feel it out as much as I'd like, but luckily the review is coming soon to explain all of that good stuff. Just know that if fusing a plasma cutter with a javelin gun sounds good to you, you'll definitely be interested in reading more come February 5th.
All I know so far is this: In the three hours I played Dead Space 3, it was quite clear that the game tries to turn its up beyond 11 to some other number not found on my guitar amp. I am also hesitant, because if this game follows the same path as Mass Effect, it could be very disappointing. But maybe Dead Space 3 will be something I don't expect, and I may love it more than the other two. We'll just have to wait for the review and see.

KEXP Reviews
|Browse by one of the following:
- (Anti-)
The legendary singer-songwriter gets back to a more aggressively experimental musical approach on his latest album. While the rhythms underpinning some of the songs are as ancient as field hollers and chain-gang chants, the songs also incorporate reggae, cabaret, primitive rock and a heaping dose of blues. Waits and the musicians he uses here (including Marc Ribot on guitar) bring a variety of evocative textures to the proceedings, even if the album's overall mood is often dark and forbidding. His vocals are often distorted, and on a few of the songs he uses his voice for some wild percussive effects. This fascinating album of junkyard avant-blues is bound to be considered one of the finest albums of the year. 9/24/2004 - Don Yates

Nancy sent me this charming little quilt. She told me she had purchased the fabrics while vacationing in Montana. The
fabrics are beautiful..
As we were talking about quilting designs I mentioned pine cones, so .. the two outside borders I put in Pine cones. The Sashing has a vine with swirls, which I extended into the 3rd border row only in the fabric that is the same as the 2nd border.
I did a squiggle line around the paw's, and on the back it almost makes them look scarey :)
Also you will notice I left in a few threads.... :) oh well no ones perfect...
The piecing and seams were absolutely perfect on this little quilt. we used Hobbs 80/20 batting.
Thanks for Looking...

In his first press conference since losing a bid for re-election last week, U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., spent much of his time ducking questions about whether he might seek a return to the Senate if Massachusetts' senior senator, Democrat John F. Kerry, is nominated for a slot in President Barack Obama's Cabinet.
"I have a job to do right now and there is not an opening right now for governor or senator, but there is an opening for a dad and a husband and that's the role that I want to play," Mr. Brown declared Tuesday.
Mr. Brown contended that his "biggest concern" at the moment is ensuring a "smooth transition" between himself and Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who ousted Mr. Brown on Nov. 6.
Mr. Brown said he has told Mr. Kerry that he would make an "excellent secretary of state."
Mr. Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran, has been mentioned as a possible nominee for defense secretary. If Mr. Kerry were to be nominated for the Cabinet and confirmed by the Senate, Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, could appoint a temporary successor, but a special election would have to be scheduled for a date between 145 and 160 days to fill the remainder of the term. Mr. Patrick has indicated he does not plan to seek re-election in 2014, and there has been speculation about a possible bid by Mr. Brown for governor.
Mr. Brown said he wants to focus on completing his term over the next seven weeks by helping to resolve the fiscal cliff, when the expiration of Bush era tax cuts and the implementation of across-the-board, automatic budget reductions occur in January. Economists have warned the combination could cause the United States to slip back into a recession.
Mr. Brown emphasized the importance of finding a way to step down from defense cuts under the sequestration process, as well as easing cuts in social services such as the low-income home energy assistance program.
Labeling himself as a "bipartisan guy," Mr. Brown said he is hopeful in light of Ms. Warren's statements that she plans to work with both parties to help resolve the country's issues.
"Regardless of the outcome of the election, we've heard from both sides that we are tired of the gridlock and lack of cooperation," he said. "I'm hopeful you'll give (Elizabeth Warren) the same scrutiny you've given me throughout the past two and a half years."
As for the GOP, Mr. Brown said, "We need to be a larger tent party."
He declared: "I'm a pro-choice moderate Republican and the middle is vanishing. I'm hopeful that the Republican Party will be a more open-minded and tolerant party."

Background Info.
"People must keep their promise if they make a bet. I have no interest in casual bets."
Kagura born as a single child into the Uchiha clan in Konohagakure. Her parents were average Konoha ninjas, who loved their child and raised Kagura the best way they could. She always got what she wanted, however everything had a fair price.
At the age of 4 she started her whole life long training guided by her father. It was cruel and merciless and slowly made her strong both in mentally and physically. It last for 2 years, but ended when she joined the Ninja Academy.
After getting into the Academy she got friends, but couldn't feel herself comfortable. She was average in every aspect and couldn't develop as much as she wanted and this made her more and more embittered. However she inherited her father's strong will what kept her determined.
At the age of 10 she graduated from the Academy and get her first team led by a Jounin. Her team mates were better than her, but she didn't care about it too much. She knew she has to give her best on missions and execute her tasks as good as she can. Her life was full of challenges, but she succesfully matched them.
For 2 years her team only got genin ranked missions along with a few chuunin ranked ones. At that time she get acquainted with the basics of kenjutsu and even got a short sword to use. She liked it so much that she decided to live her life as a swordsman. Her team leader recognised her talent for swords and subjected her to an intensive training.
This last for 1 year when the leader finally decided to nominate them into the chuunin selection exam. It was a hard and exceptional experience for Kagura and her team, but unfortunately not even one of them passed. After the test they went on more missions, but they got more chuunin ranked ones this time.
They were nominated again at the next chuunin selection exam 1 year later and 2 of them succesfully passed the test. One was Kagura herself while the other one was their medical ninja. After this their team were disbanded and they got separated. Kagura got an another team full with genins and she become their leader.
She thought about this as a perfect chance to mature as a leader and as a shinobi. She worked twice as hard as before and become more and more stronger and better. Their missions weren't that hard, but luckily they got an another jounin level ninja and trained hard between two missions.
The result of the trainings manifested soon enough. She was summoned before the Hokage and transferred to a new team. All of her team mates were chunins while her team leader was a jounin. They got more serious and dangerous missions. They travelled outside the Fire Nation too and Kagura witnessed several cultures.
One time they met with samurais close to the Land of Iron and even fought with them. Kagura killed one of them in a fair fight and got that man's katana, namely the Blade of Resentment, Archenemy. She used this sword instead of her own and it even served her well. Because of this sword Kagura was able to survive numerous dangerous situations.
4 years later the Uchihas were massacred during a night, but for her luck Kagura was currently away from the village on a mission and only got back days later. She found her whole family dead and lost her faith in luck.
However her whole clan was killed, she kept on moving forward and succesfully got promoted to jounin. Soon Kagura were summoned again and got appointed to a solo missions. She had to infiltrate villages and gather information. They were extremely dangerous missions, but thanks to them, she could stole numerous typical jutsus of those villages.
Years later the war broke out and she was placed in the Fifth Division under Mifune.
Kagura is now on good terms with the ocelots and hereby she owns their summoning contract.
Blade of Resentment, Archenemy
Due to water being her first chakra nature, Kagura can use water jutsus with 1 hand seal.

We, my younger black lab Dude and I, quickly reached the dew point and were engulfed clouds. Found the trailhead no problem. Had my GPS and was very happy I did as it was white out conditions on top and it was the only way I found the summit. Missed out on all the views! Ah well.

|I drove during dark early night hours and my car accidentally clipped one ground squirrel, one rabbit, and one bat.
I found the road-hike and trail-hike to be boring, but I really enjoyed the western views from the summit. Goose Lake is so huge, yet you can easily notice that it used to be even larger.
I found the summit register and soon located the names of two SP and peakbagging legends: Bob Bolton and Dean Molen.
During the drive out, a very large tan/white bird (it looked like a crane) was spotted flying near the road, and my car had to do a fair number of cow dodges.
This was the second of seven Top 100 peaks summited in Oregon during a 3-1/2 day timeframe.
