|Lucky Weather
Date Climbed: May 7, 2017
|The weather this winter has been absolutely crazy. Snow and rain and more snow. I just happened to pick the most perfect weekend to climb. Not a cloud in site, blue skies for days. Perfect snow going up, slushy glissade going down.Such a good day!

|We got a break in crap weather.
Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2013
|We had a great day with decent weather, just a little wind and chill on the summit. Doesnt' seem like most people go to the true summit in winter but we did, and It's also where we ended up getting the best crater views once the fog/clouds cleared. Glissade was perfect.

|Whiteout Blizzard Climb
Date Climbed: May 28, 2012
|We started the climb on a nasty, rainy morning. Once we got to the tree line the rain turned to sleet with some sun breaks. We were hopeful for a clearing at the summit so we pushed on with the quickness. At 6000ft we noticed all the other climbers were turning around, we talked to a few who said it was too nasty up there, We kept going. Then the wind and blowing snow started, i could hardly see my feet, our footprints were gone almost as soon as we stepped out of them. We summited in this and quickly ate soom food and drank some red bulls and then bounced out. With no tracks to follow and zero visability I had to rely on my mountain man instincts to guide us back down. Once we broke out of the clouds we glissaded the rest of the way to the tree line. 6hrs up, 3hrs down, no views :( great climb though.

|Very nice day hike. Took 5.5 hrs to the rim from Marble Mtn Sno Park. We took snowshoes and crampons but didn't need either. Glissaded intermittently from the rim to the tree line. The descent was rapid, about 3 hrs. It was nice in the snow and overcast day. Could be work in the sun.

Engineering student Mike Cavazza selected for global scholarship
Engineering student Mike Cavazza selected for global scholarship
Penn State New Kensington engineering student Michael Cavazza was named as one of the 2013 recipients of the Star Scholarship Award by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
A sophomore petroleum and natural gas engineering major, Cavazza was one of 50 scholars selected throughout the world. The Star scholarships and fellowships support students who are pursuing degrees related to the oil and gas industry. The award is renewable for four years. SPE is a worldwide organization that serves managers, engineers, scientists and other professionals in the oil and gas industry.
Headquartered in Richardson, Texas, the company collects, disseminates and exchanges technical knowledge concerning the exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources. Since enrolling at the campus, scholarships and awards have been as much a part of Cavazza's college career as class schedules and text books.
Last year, the Indiana, Pa., resident was selected for a Chancellor Fellowship, a program that allows students to collaborate with faculty on specific projects. In the fall, Cavazza worked with Robert Mathers, associate professor of chemistry, analyzing the kinetics of a soybean-based polymer that could be an alternative to petroleum-based polymers. In the spring, he earned an award from the Undergraduate Research program to continue the research. The stipend program supports student research by encouraging faculty members to design undergraduate research projects.
Academic excellence runs in Cavazza's family. His brother, Matt Cavazza, was awarded a Chancellor's Fellowship as a freshman and researched and experimented with biofuels under the mentorship of Mathers. A year later, he earned a paid summer internship at Dominion Resources, as well as a $5,000 scholarship. He spent two years at the New Kensington campus before moving on to the University Park campus where he is a senior in the engineering and natural gas program. The patriarch of the family, Eric Cavazza, attended Penn State DuBois before finishing his bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering at University Park. Following in the footsteps of his father and older brother, Michael will complete his studies at University Park beginning in fall 2014.
The younger Cavazza will be honored Sept. 29 at the SPE awards banquet in New Orleans.

OCEAN CITY – Police and fire investigators are busy this morning trying to determine the source of a carbon monoxide leak that evacuated a downtown resort hotel last night.
On Thursday, June 11, at approximately 9:40 p.m., Ocean City Communications received a call for six "ill" people in a hotel room at the El Capitan on 4th Street and the Boardwalk.
Upon arrival, Ocean City EMS personnel detected high levels of carbon monoxide in the building and immediately requested additional public safety units, including police and fire services.
The family of six that initiated the call were transported to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin. As of last night, the injuries to the family appear to be non-life threatening.
Police and fire department personnel conducted a thorough search through each unit of the El Capitan to assure that all patrons were evacuated safely.
The source of the carbon monoxide is being investigated by the Ocean City Police Department and the Fire Marshal's Office. More information will be reported on this site as the probe continues.

1. Did you feel a sense of foreboding in this chapter? At what point did you feel what was coming? Or did it take you by surprise?
As soon as Edward left her side when Carlisle was stiching her up to talk to Jasper, I knew something was up... I started reading really slow because I didn't want anything to happen! ahhh i was a mess.
2. Just as Bella did, have you ever felt that subconscious desire to grasp a hold of a relationship slipping away?
HECK YESS!!!! What girl hasn't???? like last night i had a dream about this guy who i liked, and are friends with but now i feel like we dont talk as much. I had a dream that we were together and happy and stuff. Does that count??? hahaha
3. Edward speech was definitely a harsh one, but did it grasp reality for you as it did for Bella? Or were you expecting him to run back to her at any moment? Did you believe him as readily as Bella did?
It was so confusing. I was all like he's just doing what's best for Bella at first because thats what he always does so it was like no surprise, but then he was so cold and definite with no shaking or anything and i thought it was true. But i managed to convincce myself that there were more books coming so it couldn't be permanent.
4. When Sam appeared during the search, describe your gut reaction to his presence.
I was annoyed at first because I wanted Edward to come back. And then I wasn't exactly sure about his ties to the story, and i was utterly confused.
5. Describe your reaction as you read the "months" pages
OUCH. BUT that gave it more impact. and that enhanced the importance the relationship had played for Bella in Twilight i loved it
THE WRITING IN THIS CHAPTER SEEMED TO BE THE STRONGEST AND BEST WRITTEN PART OF THE WHOLE BOOK!! just an opinion.....

BERLIN – A Berlin woman was arrested on disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges last week after a pair of incidents during which she threw her purse at a police car and later an ambulance.
Around 12:17 p.m. last Wednesday, Berlin police received several complaints about a female suspect throwing her purse at passing vehicles near the health department. One of the vehicles, a Life Star ambulance, was not damaged. When police arrived on the scene, they found a woman, later identified as Lisa M. Harris, 44, of Berlin, sitting on top of large trashcan and yelling profanities.
After police made several attempts to get Harris to stop being disorderly and get off the trashcan, she began to strike and punch a bus stop window next to the trashcan on which she was sitting. She was eventually removed from the trashcan and placed under arrest. Several days prior to the incident, Harris was cited for throwing her purse and hitting a police cruiser as it drove past her.
Harris was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. She was taken before a District Court Commissioner and ordered held on a $1,000 bond.
Hiding A Wanted Juvenile
OCEAN CITY – An Ocean City man was arrested on several charges this week including hindering a police investigation and obstruction of justice after allegedly attempting to hide a juvenile wanted by police.
Around 11 p.m. last Sunday, Maryland State Police troopers received a call about a repeat juvenile runaway under a court-ordered curfew for drug offenses. Troopers responded to the Bayshore Drive area in Ocean City and went to several residences where they believed the wanted juvenile might be located.
Troopers made contact with a man identified as Timothy Alexander Wilson, 20, of Ocean City, after receiving information the wanted juvenile was with him. According to police reports, Wilson attempted to deceive the investigation trooper and told the officer the juvenile was not with him.
Meanwhile, Worcester County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested another juvenile known to be an associate of the missing juvenile on multiple open warrants. During that investigation, officers learned the wanted juvenile was indeed with Wilson. Around 3:15 a.m., MSP troopers went back to Bayshore Drive and located and arrested Wilson, charging him with contributing to a child in need of assistance, hindering a police investigation and obstruction of justice.
The missing juvenile was located about a block away in a Laundromat hiding from police under a folding table. Charges are pending against the juvenile for violation of a court order.
Condo Burglary Cases
Forwarded to Circuit
OCEAN CITY – Three local men arrested on burglary charges in January after allegedly breaking into a north Ocean City condominium and attempting to steal thousands of dollars worth of high-end electronics had their cases forwarded to Circuit Court last week after preliminary hearings determined there was probable cause to move forward with the cases.
Thanks to a tip from an alert private citizen, three men were arrested on burglary charges after allegedly breaking into a north Ocean City residence and attempting to steal thousands of dollars worth of high-end electronics.
Around 9 a.m. on a Thursday in January, Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) received a call from a private citizen about a possible breaking and entering in progress at a residence on Peach Tree Rd. The caller told police it appeared three white males were attempting to break into a house across the canal from his own residence, likely on Peach Tree Rd. and provided a description of the suspects.
The caller told police he observed two of the suspects lift a third suspect into the house through the ceiling on a screened porch and that the three were then in the residence. OCPD officers responded to the area and positioned themselves in place to observe the residence and any suspects in the area fitting the description provided by the witness.
One OCPD officer observed the three suspects fleeing the house and running out toward Peach Tree Rd. in different directions. An OCPD officer with the help of a K-9 was able to apprehend the first suspect, identified as James Anthony Haynes, 24, of Willards. The same officer was then able to apprehend a second suspect, identified as Stephen Marcus Brinson, 28, of Parsonsburg. A third suspect, Frank Allen Dowling, 24, of Pittsville, was apprehended a short time later as he walked on Constitutional Ave. nearby.
The witness was brought over and identified the three suspects as the men he observed breaking into the residence on Peach Tree St. The witness told police he observed the three suspects walk around to a screened-in porch area at the back of the house. Two of the men then lifted the third to the ceiling of the porch, and the suspect was able to separate the vinyl ceiling to gain access to the attic crawl space above the porch.
Two of the suspects then walked around to the side door of the residence with duffel bags and the suspect who had gained entry let them in. The OCPD officer then went around to the back of the residence and observed the hole in the ceiling where the suspect had gained entry to the residence. The officer noticed the rear porch door standing open, and when he went inside, he noticed dirt and debris on the dining room table and floor. The officer also noticed the attic access door directly overhead.
Further inspection revealed Haynes had gained access to the house through the crawl space and was able to gain access to the rest of the house by simply pushing the ladder hatch to the attic down. Haynes then went around to the door to let in Brinson and Dowling. At that point, the three suspects proceeded to dismantle a 52-inch Insignia flat screen television and set it on the floor nearby.
The officers also noticed a 20-inch Magnavox flat screen television sitting on the coffee table with its cord wrapped around its base. The officers observed a Dell computer printer unplugged and sitting on a couch. In addition, a closet door was standing open with a stereo system sitting on the floor next to it. Detectives also found a green duffel bag containing an X-box gaming system with various games and power cords. The duffel bag also contained 14" bolt cutters and a large crowbar. Detectives were able to connect the three suspects to the duffel bag and a knapsack found in the room through various pieces of identification.
The value of the items the suspects attempted to steal is estimated at around $2,000. Haynes, Dowling and Brinson were each charged with first-degree burglary, third- and fourth-degree burglary, theft under $10,000, and malicious destruction of property. In addition, Brinson was charged with possession of CDS.
Each of the three appeared in District Court last week and probable cause was found in each case to forward them to the Circuit Court level.
Probation, Fine For Crack Dealer
OCEAN CITY – One of two Frankford, Del. residents arrested last November on drug charges after Ocean City Police narcotics detectives purchased crack cocaine from them out of a vehicle which also included a two-year-old child pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine last week in Circuit Court and was placed on probation and fined.
Around 8 p.m. on Nov. 5, 2009, the OCPD's Narcotics Unit officers, with the assistance of patrol personnel, made a traffic stop on a vehicle containing suspected drug dealers. Earlier in the day, the driver of the vehicle, identified as Shanice Eriz Chandler, 24, of Frankford, sold suspected crack cocaine to an undercover OCPD detective.
Another suspect, identified as Sheronda Renee Jennings, 38, also of Frankford, was riding in the passenger seat. Also discovered in the suspect vehicle was the young toddler. Chandler and Jennings were taken into custody without incident and each was charged with possession and distribution of crack cocaine and marijuana.
A family member of Jennings responded to the scene to take custody of Jennings' 2-year-old child. Last week in Circuit Court, Chandler pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine and was placed on probation for 18 months and was fined $500, about $200 of which was then suspended. Meanwhile, Jennings is expected to appear in court next week.
2007 Shoplifting Spree Conviction
SNOW HILL – One of three men arrested in 2007 by U.S. Marshal's in Montgomery County after an alert witness identified he and his cohorts, who were wanted in connection with a vast shoplifting spree in the resort and other areas around the state, at a West Ocean City pharmacy pleaded guilty last week in Circuit Court to felony theft and was placed on probation, but the real penalty was thousands of dollars of restitution owed the various victims.
In May 2007, just days after a reported shoplifting spree at the CVS pharmacy on 120th Street in Ocean City, an alert citizen who saw the suspects' pictures on a television news broadcast recognized them at the CVS in West Ocean City and alerted resort police, which touched off an investigation that led to their arrests.
The three suspects in the initial shoplifting spree at the Ocean City CVS on April 28 were arrested after a tip from an alert citizen who saw the trio apparently up to their old tricks at a different CVS in West Ocean City. The OCPD released information to the public through the media on April 28, 2007 about the initial shoplifting case including pictures of the suspects grabbed from the store's surveillance cameras.
Later that day, a citizen was in her car in the parking lot at the West Ocean City CVS when she saw what she described as suspicious activity with people going in and out of the store. The witness wrote down the vehicle's tag number and held on to it. A few days later, the witness saw a report about the Ocean City case on television news and reported the tag number and the suspicious activity at the West Ocean City CVS she had seen days earlier.
OCPD Det. James Rodriguez took the tag number and was able to get the names of the registered owners. He then accessed the photographs of the owners and discovered they matched two of the suspects in the Ocean City shoplifting case. Two of the suspects were Larry Fitch, 30, and Gawanda Hungerford, both of Columbia, Md.
After further investigation, the OCPD detective discovered Hungerford had posted bail for another man in Cambridge several months earlier. When the detective saw the photograph of that man, Darrius Marcus, 58, of Silver Spring, Md. he recognized him as the third suspect in the CVS shoplifting spree.
OCPD detectives then contacted the U.S. Marshal's Capitol Area Regional Fugitive Task Force regarding Fitch. When they arrested Fitch at his home, Marcus was with him. There was also a third man present, Kevin Debose, 44, of Washington, D.C., whom detectives recognized as the fourth suspect in the shoplifting case. Fitch, Marcus and Debose were all taken into custody on other warrants obtained by the task force.
Fitch was charged with two counts of felony theft and felony theft scheme for the April 28 case at CVS in Ocean City as well as another case the prior year in which he was a suspect. Debose and Marcus were each charged with one count of felony theft.
Last week in Circuit Court, Fitch pleaded guilty to felony theft under $500 and was placed on probation for 18 months. Perhaps more importantly, Fitch was ordered to pay over $15,000 in restitution to the various victims including CVS, the store's insurance company and Worcester County. Back in 2007, Marcus was found guilty of theft under $500 and was sentenced to one year in jail and placed on two years probation, which ended in August. Debose was found guilty of theft under $500 and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Probation, Fine For
West OC Break-Ins
SNOW HILL – A Berlin man arrested in April on burglary charges after breaking into a West Ocean City convenience store and doughnut shop pleaded guilty this week to theft scheme over $500 and was fined and placed on probation for three years.
On April 22, two men later identified as Shane William Lewis, 25, of Berlin, and the late Eric Steven Parkinson, 20, of Delmar, allegedly broke into the Marlin Market and Fractured Prune stores on Route 611 in West Ocean City and stole the cash register from the Fractured Prune. A review of surveillance tapes in the stores helped police identify Lewis and Parkinson as the suspects.
Both were arrested later in the day on April 22 and were both charged with two counts each of second-degree burglary, fourth-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit second-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit fourth-degree burglary, theft over $500, conspiracy to commit theft over $500 and malicious destruction of property.
This week in District Court, Lewis pleaded guilty to felony theft scheme over $500 and was fined $200 and placed on probation for three years.
Two of Seven Arrested
In Drug Raid Fined
OCEAN CITY – Two of the seven suspects arrested during a drug raid on a downtown Ocean City apartment complex in December appeared in court this week and were convicted on similar charges with similar outcomes.
A total of seven individuals including one juvenile were arrested during a drug sweep at a downtown Ocean City apartment complex in the early morning hours on December 12. Around 6:20 a.m., the Ocean City Police narcotics unit, along with patrol officers, served search and seizure warrants on two units in the Jocelyn Manor Apartments on 8th Street. During a search of the first unit, OCPD officers located marijuana and paraphernalia and took two people into custody. Arrested were Terri Sullivan-Glynis, 47, and Robert Craig Scheeler, 48, both of Ocean City.
While searching another unit, OCPD narcotics officers found more marijuana and paraphernalia and took a total of five more suspects into custody. Arrested during the second search were Nicholas Steven Douglas, 19; Jason Mark Hager, 24; Patrick Michael Simpson, 24, Ashley Marie Reynolds, 20, and a 17-year-old juvenile, all of Ocean City.
All were charged with possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. This week in District Court, Scheeler pleaded guilty to possession and was fined $1,000. In a separate trial, Sullivan-Glynis also pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana and was fined $1,000. Meanwhile, Douglas and Reynolds failed to appear for trial and had arrest warrants sworn out on them. Simpson has since had the charges against him dropped, while Hager is set to appear for trial on May 17.

You might also want to have a look at Module::Changes [cpan.org], especially the bin/changes program.
All my recently uploaded distros now contain YAML-based Changes files.
I'm also checking the YAML Changes file, but do it from within shipit using ShipIt::Step::CheckYAMLChangeLog [cpan.org].
In an earlier version, I had the version numbers as the keys. Didn't work out very well - there were complaints of it all being too indented. Also, now I can verify the validity of the Changes file with a Kwalify syntax.
But it doesn't matter - you can just write a new parser and a new formatter for Module::Changes. I'd have to change the bin/changes program to take args for different parser and formatters (maybe get them from some ~/.changesrc), but that's easy.

Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, an astronaut, dinosaurs, Bat Woman, Jamican Bull Riders, zombies, taco bell sauces were just a few characters that showed up to Summit Motorsports Park to be part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the Quick Fuel Technology Halloween Classic presented by Harland Sharp.
One round of eliminations were completed in all four classes and the field was set for the Graphic Inc Signs Top Gun shootout. Due to a late shower, the Trick Flow Classic Air show has been moved to Sunday and will take place around the noon hour.
Immediately following the first round of eliminations, a special presentation of all former Grand Champions took place on the starting line. There were 23 past champions in attendance this weekend for this race. All Champions present received a commemorative jacket with their name and year won. Afterwards they raced for a $500 Summit Racing Equipment gift certificate.
Rick Cornell from Monroe MI came out of racing retirement to participate in this special race. And he had to borrow his son's racecar to do so. Cornell went head to head with some tough racers, such as Kevin Adams, Wayne Baker before meeting Joe Oswald in the final. He was tardy on the tree, but was able to over come tardiness by running dead on his dial-in with a five (5.535).
While this was taking place, the Croghan Colonial Bank Kid's costume contest presented by Kelleys island Venture Resort was taking place, as well as the Best Decorated Rigs and Pit areas. Results will be posted as soon as they become available.
Racing will resume at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday.

It turns out that the National Rifle Association maintains an official list of organizations and individuals whom it perceives as being anti-gun. The has been quickly dubbed far and wide as an 'enemies list'.
Apart from the absurdity of having an enemies list in the first place (remember the ridicule that was heaped on president Richard Nixon when it was revealed that he too maintained such a list?), an organization that encourages practically unlimited and unrestricted gun ownership should be wary about explicitly identifying people as opponents to its followers, some of whom are unhinged enough to see anyone who opposes them as traitors to the country's heritage and may be heavily armed as well.
There are some surprises on the list of organizations. That there are a lot of health-related and religious groups I can understand. But the list seems to contain a lot of women's groups such as the TWCA whom I had not thought of as having made strong stands against guns. So if you happen to be a member of any of the listed organizations, be warned that the NRA considers you to be a hostile force. I am either a member or regular contributor to three of the organizations on the list, so I guess I am a triple threat, even though I am not reflexively opposed to gun ownership.
The list of individuals is, as you might expect, heavy on people from the entertainment world. The fact that many of them have long past the apex of their fame (Peter Bonerz, Candice Bergen, Mariette Hartley) suggests that this list was started a long time ago and that once you are on it you never get off, unless you die (though the late Nora Ephron is still there). There are also five members of the family of the late Frank Zappa. That's a whole lotta Zappas.
Perhaps the biggest surprise to me was the presence of N Sync. Really? A boy band from long ago is an enemy of the NRA? Are they still even performing? I know that many people simply hate their music but isn't this taking it too far?

Here's an article on the Pirelli claiming the highest mileage:
Pirelli Angel GT Sport Touring Tire ? Highest Mileage Guarantee
Here's an article on the Pirelli claiming the highest mileage:
Pirelli Angel GT Sport Touring Tire ? Highest Mileage Guarantee
In this summary ranking, Michelin PR3's and Metzeler Z8 came in #1 and 2
Thanks for all of the replies, my brain is telling me PR3's but I think I may be leaning towards the Z8's for some reason. maybe because the reviews Ive found are so over the top about them. I'll let you know what happens when I get to the dealership for the 6000 mile service and tire swap next week.
Markforshee, I'm with you! I lost the front twice last season riding the Bridgestones and it was just pure luck the bike stayed upright both times. I just can't wait to get them off. I was talking to the counter person at the dealership and she told me she pulled hers off after the first 400 miles as the same thing was happening to her. I know some people say they have no problem with them and God Bless, but I'll be happy to get them off, swap them with anything else!
I've had the Z8s on my 2012 and with about 7200 miles I probably have another 1k before needing to replace them. I'll be replacing them with the Michelin PR3s, I've had them on another bike and I love the way they grip/handle. I don't have complaints about the Z8s but I think I'll enjoy the ride more on the Michelins.
I changed the front to Pilot 3. I had to replace the rear Z8 at 14,000 miles with a BS BT016 because that is all I could find in remote west Texas.
Will report on the P3 life after their run.
Your millage may vary... For me it's the road surface and weather.
Tried a set of Z8's last year and they were great in the dry, but lousy in the wet at end of life. (very thin in the center of the rear tire!)
My communing road to work has a lot of tar and gravel surface that there is too much tar and it is slick as ice when wet.
Tried PR3's for last winter's commute and I'm now sold on the sipes. Great traction in rain, slush and dry. Just bought a second set.
Ken E.
'09 RT, '93 K75, '69 R60US and others long gone....
Just put another Z8 on my '07 RT and it also had Bridgestone Battlax's on it from new. I am glad my machine had Bridgestone's on it because it gave me a different tire to try and I haven't gotten Bridgestone's since. Only Metzeler Z8's for me, when it comes to riding in the rain you will be glad you have them on for sure.
Incidently, I throw my tires away with tread on them because I would never ride a rag taking a chance on saving a few bucks.
This is the problem I had wiht Z6 on my RT. The rear wears in the center and there are no wear bars there.
This is the Z8 off my R1200R always kept at factory recommended pressure f 42 psi after 7100 miles.
Yup that is secondary rubber.
This time I put on PR3. Its been about 2,000 miles. The rear broke loose a couple times, just yesterday I dropped the pressure from 42 psi to 39 psi. What a difference! Now it feels like it should. I had PR3 on my R1100RT and loved them. Also on my Versys. Great tires.
Before the pressure change I was thinking back to the Z8.
I will know more by the time they wear out.

Gossip Writer Haunted By Satanic Curse
If you're going to straight-up steal the name of a grumpy old man's book, make sure he wasn't best buds with noted Satanists Aleister Crowley and Anton LeVay. Darwin Porter wrote an "updated" version of Kenneth Anger's 1959 scandal classic Hollywood Babylon, and now he has the forces of eternal darkness to contend with. "It's very bizarre, but a close friend of Kenneth told me he's come out with Satanic incantations against me. I have to protect myself. He was a friend of Aleister Crowley, the Satan worshipper who drank the blood of virgins."
"Hollywood Babylon was an instant best-seller with its seamy tales and explicit photos of movie stars' secret gay flings, sex orgies, murder and suicide. In the 1980s, Anger wrote Hollywood Babylon II, which had a hog-fat Elizabeth Taylor on the cover. Porter had hoped Anger would see his remake-which includes dishy tales about Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, James Dean, Elvis Presley and Ronald and Nancy Reagan-as a tribute. No such luck.
"Anger, now 81, was also a lifelong friend of Anton Szandor LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan. Last year, he disclosed he is suffering from prostate cancer and predicted he will die this upcoming Halloween. Calls to his reps were not returned.
"'I'm going to have to be careful from now on,' Porter told us. 'I want to wish Kenneth well, but I'm going to be there for his funeral to make sure he's really gone so he can't bring me harm.'" [P6]

Chris Leben (22-8 MMA, 12-7 UFC) is excited to get back to work. Ten months after a suspension for illicit painkillers benched him, the middleweight division has changed, and he wants back in the mix.
"I know that with where I'm at and what I need to do, that my real goal is to go out and make a statement," Leben told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Karlos Vemola (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) is not Leben's ideal opponent, but a necessary step on the way to bigger opponents.
"I'm a little bummed out for Karlos Vemola because I know he's lost his last couple, and now he's getting a fresh reborn Chris Leben, which is going to be a bit tough for him," the 32-year-old veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 1" said.
Leben and Vemola meet at UFC 155, which takes place Dec. 29 in Las Vegas, though an exact venue – either the MGM Grand Garden Arena or Mandalay Bay Events Center – has not yet been announced. The main card, including a heavyweight title fight between champion Junior Dos Santos and former titleholder Cain Velasquez, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Leben's career has, in fact, undergone many a rebirth. Several win streaks and spectacular comebacks have been soiled by disappointing losses, and the middleweight's out-of-the-cage behavior hasn't helped matters.
A quick knockout win over Wanderlei Silva at UFC 132 was followed by a TKO loss via cut to Mark Munoz, and the UFC, which acted as the de facto athletic commission in England at UFC 138, found two types of painkillers in his system and banned him for a year.
Despite his ups and downs, Leben has always picked himself up and come back, and he's always entertained fans in the cage. It remains to be seen whether this time is different. He's fought 19 times inside the octagon and left a lot of plasma and brain cells in the octagon. He imagines he'll probably hold the record for most fights when he leaves, and he wonders how his body will hold up then.
But the present is most important at this moment, and for Leben, this comeback is particularly exciting because there are several new contenders in his division.
Standouts such as Chris Weidman, Tim Boetsch and Hector Lombard are just a few of those making noise in the 185-pound class, and Leben wants to fight as many of them as possible before he hangs up his gloves. He's not crowing about a title shot – that's about as faraway a dream as ever (though apparently not completely out of reach, judging by Stephan Bonnar's luck). But he nonetheless wants to prove he's still one of the best in the world.
"I want to get back in the mix, so I've got to go out and handle Vermola, and then hopefully (UFC matchmaker) Joe (Silva) will put me up against a little bigger name," he said.
Or one he can pronounce correctly. Leben couldn't, and when he got the call to come back hadn't much heard of the Czecholslovakian middleweight, who has alternated between wins and losses in his five fights with the UFC. But he studied a little bit of tape, and found the situation favorable.
"Watching the tape, I don't see any spots that I'm extremely worried about. I can fight him wherever he goes," Leben said. "I think as far as game plan goes, it's just weathering that storm the first minute out of the gate."
Leben remained active in the sport during his suspension and recently took steps to become licensed as a referee and judge in his adopted home of Oahu, Hawaii. He still owns a bustling MMA gym and teaches on a regular basis.
Fighting, though, has always been his first job, and he's weathered quite a few storms during his time in the UFC. He's been on the cusp of greatness and written off as a burnout. Yet, after all that, he's still known as the guy who urinated on a fellow contestant's bed on the inaugural season of the UFC's seminal reality show, as he said of a recent signing in Sweden.
That part of Leben's image has never changed. And as much as he's matured as a fighter over the years, he admits his fighting hasn't changed much, either.
"I've been trying to make a different Chris Leben for years and years," Leben said. "I've always been saying I'm going to take this fight to the ground, I'm going to show my ground game and utilize my other skills, and then it just doesn't seem to happen.
"Once I get punched in the face, [I'm] going to revert right back to what works."
So it's not so much that Leben is reborn. Hopefully, though, he is refreshed. When he is, only opponents at their best can weather his storm.

My parents are more generous
I am getting married to a wonderful man. My complaint is not about him but rather his family. My family is extremely generous. My parents are paying for the majority of the wedding. They also gave my fiance a very nice birthday present and have given us things in general, including frequent flier miles for our honeymoon so we don't have to pay for airfare.
His parents are contributing, but not much. They are giving us what they gave his brother and really have no idea how much this wedding will cost (mind you, his parents split the cost of his brother's wedding with the bride's family ... in our case they are paying around 1/6th of the total bill). It makes me uncomfortable that my family is so generous and his family does very little (we had to ask if they were going to contribute to the wedding as they never offered, and we knew how much they contributed for his brother's wedding). His parents can afford to do more but they don't even offer. I am not having an engagement party, bridal shower, or bachelorette party, which saves everyone money (especially his parents, who live far away) but yet my fiance's brother did.
I don't know how to discuss this with my fiance but it really bothers me because I feel like his parents should do more for us. I don't expect them to be as generous/even as my family but I just feel like it's unfair. What do you think?
– Uneven/Unfair, Boston
It's not unfair, U/U. It's just the way it is.
You can't go into a marriage assuming that you'll get stuff from parents. Anything you get from them is a bonus.
You also can't expect two very different families to share the same philosophies about money. You decided to have a certain kind of wedding. Your parents offered to pay for it. His parents are helping with the expenses. That's awesome. The end.
If your fiance brought this up as a problem, that would be one thing. They're his parents. But he's not freaking out about this, is he? It makes me wonder about your fiance's financial priorities. Do they line up with yours?
You might want to use this as a get-to-know-you moment. After the wedding is over and you guys have been showered in cash, have a talk about what to do with the money and how you feel about giving and receiving gifts.
Also know this: You never know how much money people have. You say that his parents "can afford to do more," but are you sure about that? Do you understand their expenses and what they have in the bank? Are you basing your statement on how they keep their home? Because having a nice house doesn't always mean that there's extra cash to throw around. Having a good job doesn't mean that there's always extra in the bank. Don't make any assumptions.
When it comes to financial philosophies and generosity, worry about yourself and your soon-to-be husband. That's the only couple that matters in this scenario.
As long as your parents and in-laws are respectful, involved, and show you love, you're in great shape.
Readers? Is this unfair? How do you balance families that have different philosophies about money? Should she bring this up with her fiance? Help.
– Meredith

Brittany Morris '13 is happy that her senior thesis project opened so many doors.
The graphic design alum landed a job after graduation and was a semi-finalist for the 2013 Adobe Design Achievement Awards. Her work involves a series of posters representing vintage European travel created for her senior show exhibition.
The Adobe Design Achievement Awards celebrate student and faculty achievement reflecting the powerful convergence of technology and the creative arts. The competition - which showcases individual and group projects created with industry-leading Adobe creative software - honors the most talented and promising student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers, developers and computer artists from the world's top institutions of higher education.
"It's actually pretty amazing and exciting," Morris said. "It's great because it has to do with my senior thesis at Moore, one of the more recent projects that I worked on. I feel like that work best describes the work that I do. What I entered is graphic design and illustration at the same time."
The posters were inspired by Morris' trip to London two years ago through Moore's study abroad program. Each of the four posters represents a European city – London, Paris, Venice and Heidelberg, Germany.
"I chose four cities that were contrasting to each other, so they look like a set but they are still very different," she said.
While she waits to learn if she is a finalist for the award, Morris is freelancing at Paragraph, Inc., a branding agency in Philadelphia. She works on brand concepts and development. Recently, she handled the branding, mural and menu design for Shifty's Taco, a new restaurant opening next month in Brewerytown. On the weekends, she teaches fine art classes at Repenning Fine Arts in her hometown of Audubon, NJ.
"I really enjoy working for Paragraph," Morris said. "My experiences at Moore have helped tremendously in finding a job, winning awards and creating some great work."
She credits The Career Center at Moore for helping to prepare her for the real world, through internship preparation, interviewing workshops and help with her resume. The graphic design department also helps students with their resumes and portfolios through an Internship Prep class and a Professional Practices in Graphic Design class.
"At Moore, we had to have an online portfolio ready, our resumes had to be tweaked and we had to have a quality website and business cards too," she said. "When I went out to apply for jobs it was much easier because all of that was already in order."
Brittany Morris '13 is happy that her senior thesis project opened so many doors.


text: I've recently started reading the New Frontier series written by Peter David and have really enjoyed it. The public library near my house has a number of the novels, so it's been easy to find them. The most recent NF novel was written in 2011, but I've not read anything about plans for any new novels or material that ties in with some of other recent Trek novels. I was curious if anyone knows about any projects Peter has been working on. I am aware that Peter has been dealing with significant life changes in the face of serious health problems (I don't want to give too much detail out of respect for his privacy) and recognize that any plans for future books may have been scrapped for the time being, but you never know. In any event, I wish Peter the best and hope he's doing well. --Sran

Quality thread. Back to the Hampur for this guy. Enjoy chasing each other's tails.

Is it possible that Geno could be a bust in Canton one day?
Mountaineers coordinator, Jaws say QB is no diva
By BRIAN COSTELLO
West Virginia offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson has heard the words thrown around to describe his former protégé Geno Smith brat ... gimmick ... coddled ... marginal work ethic and wonders if theyre talking about the same quarterback he coached for two years.
I never got the sense he was a diva or pampered or anything in my involvement with him, Dawson said. I never had one problem with him other than he watched too much film.
Smith has been under siege from anonymous sources questioning everything from his focus to how he handled pre-draft interviews. Things have heated up in the two weeks since the Jets drafted him in the second round. After he fired his agents, reports by Yahoo and ESPN quoted anonymous league executives and scouts criticizing Smith.

TRASH TALKED: Quarterback Geno Smith, whom the Jets selected out of West Virginia in the second round of last months NFL Draft, has come under all types of criticism since his selection
TRASH TALKED: Quarterback Geno Smith, whom the Jets selected out of West Virginia in the second round of last months NFL Draft, has come under all types of criticism since his selection.
Friday, he steps on the field for the Jets rookie minicamp to begin his attempt to make those critics look wrong and the Jets front office look smart.
Hes going to play for a long time, Dawson said this week. I think the Jets are going to be more than happy that they have him. Hes going to work his [butt] off. Its almost a positive for the Jets organization because if everything would have went smooth and he had been picked in the top five he probably wouldnt be as motivated as he is right now.
In my talks with him after the draft, hes so fired up right now to prove this [jerk] wrong that hes going to work and do it.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski agrees. Jaworski spent time with Smith before the 2012 Orange Bowl, which he broadcast and then attended his pro day at West Virginia this year. He also studied all of Smiths 2012 games.
I think hes going to be a terrific NFL quarterback, Jaworski said.
Jaworski said he saw inconsistencies in Smiths game last year, but that is normal for every quarterback prospect short of John Elway, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.
When I went to Morgantown and watched his workout I was blown away, Jaworski said. I thought he was tremendous. ... It was clinical. It was surgical. He did a lot of really, really good things.
Jaworski said Smith was the only quarterback he had with a first-round grade in this draft. He said in speaking with people around the league he never heard any questions about Smiths character.
Dawson saw Smith throw for 4,201 yards, 42 touchdowns and just six interceptions last season. He said those numbers didnt happen by accident and wonders who is trying to tear Smith down before he even gets an NFL practice snap.
I honestly dont know where it all comes from, Dawson said. The kid worked on his game probably more than anybody Ive ever been around. ... He would watch film of all these NFL quarterbacks trying to emulate them and go out and work as hard as he could to make himself better. He would try to find areas in his game that were weak ... and he busted his [butt] and got better in those areas. I dont see it. It baffles me really.
Thanks, Shark. I'm much more inclined to believe direct quotes that are attributed to actual people than the "anonymous source" nonsense that we've been subjected to. In any event, time will tell and we will find out what we have. Until then, I'll keep an open mind and be optimistic.
ESPN's Ron Jaworski said Geno Smith was the only quarterback he had with a first-round grade in the draft.
"I think he's going to be a terrific NFL quarterback," Jaworski said. "When I went to Morgantown and watched his workout I was blown away." Smith has gotten nothing but negative press since the draft, much of it from his fired agents. This positive review from one of the game's premier quarterback analysts gives Jets fans a little something to hang their hats on.

Starting a business can be a risky endeavor not knowing whether the local market will support the new business, whether there are unforeseeable costs that your business plan did not include, whether you have an accurate prediction of revenue or whether you can find a good location to establish the endeavor.
Purchasing an established business can be a great alternative to help minimize some of this risk. During the course of a transaction, a purchaser will have the opportunity to review the books of the business to get an idea of profits, losses, revenue and expenses. Often an existing business will have a long-term lease in place that may be transferable, or real property that will be sold as part of the transaction. There may also be a client base or other contracts in place. If the business has a history of success, the buyer may pay more but have instant revenue. On the other hand, a struggling business could provide a bargain start-up price, while providing an opportunity for creativity in rehabilitating the business.
Once a buyer has found a business to purchase, the first step is to determine whether to purchase the assets, acquire the stock if the business is a corporation, or acquire a membership interest if the business is a limited liability company. Purchasing the stock or membership interest of the business puts the buyer in the shoes of the seller and can open the door to unanticipated liabilities, such as past sales or employment taxes that may be owed, or claims that may have arisen during the sellers ownership. The assets may already be substantially depreciated for tax purposes.
Limited situations arise in which a stock purchase may be necessary. For example, a seller may require a stock sale to minimize taxation, or the business may rely on contracts or government permits that may be difficult to transfer to a new owner as part of an asset purchase. In that case, steps should be taken to ensure that obligations for any pre-existing liabilities remain with the seller, or to adjust the purchase price to address these potential liabilities. Any known liabilities, such as company debts, should be addressed in negotiations and expressly allocated as the parties agree.
In most cases, an asset purchase will be the safest bet for a buyer. By purchasing the assets rather than the stock of a business, the new owner can set up its own entity to run the business and will avoid taking on unwanted liabilities. The assets may include tangible items such as furniture, computer equipment and inventory, but may also include things such as customer lists, advertisements, trade name, an assignment of leases and goodwill or blue sky. Once the asset list is completed, the buyer and seller should negotiate a purchase price for each of these items. The parties should consult financial advisers to determine the best allocation from a tax perspective as well.
A covenant not to compete may be negotiated as part of the sale. While non-competition agreements are generally void under Colorado law, they are permitted in certain circumstances, including the sale of a business. Without a covenant not to compete, the value of the business being sold could be diminished significantly if the seller were to open a similar business right around the corner that competes with the one just sold. The covenant not to compete must address the length of time and the geographic distance to be covered. For example, if the business is a restaurant, it may be sufficient to limit the geographic distance to the city limits or a 30-mile radius. However, if the business sells goods or services to other towns or counties, the geographic area of the non-compete may need to encompass a greater area.
Another factor to consider is whether the sellers unique knowledge and experience is a key to the success of the business, or whether the business is a turn-key type operation. If it is the former, then the buyer might consider negotiating a consulting agreement with the seller.
Once the parties negotiate the terms of a contract, all of the key terms of a business sale should be memorialized in a written contract. Typically a due diligence period follows in which the buyer has the opportunity to analyze the books and operations of the company. As part of this process, the buyer should consider the contracts necessary for the operation of the business. Is the location of the business subject to a lease? Is it assignable? What is the duration of the lease? Do the lease terms permit any changes to the business? Does the seller have contracts with vendors? Are these assignable or can the buyer negotiate new terms? Does the business have employees? Are the wages appropriate for the work being done and will these employees continue working for the new owner?
The buyer should also research whether any of the assets are subject to liens, and if so, how these liens should be addressed. Does the purchase price contemplate assets being free and clear of liens, or does the price reflect loans to be assumed? Are there government or judgment liens that need to be released?
These questions should be answered to the buyers satisfaction so that the business value is protected and the odds of future success increase. Buying a business can be a rewarding experience by providing an opportunity for a buyer to purchase a successful operation that they can continue or grow, or to purchase a struggling endeavor at a bargain price to breathe new life into it. The likelihood of success in either case can be increased significantly with a little knowledge, planning and diligence.

- Archived: true
Criminal-law protection of the EU's financial interests
European Union policies are financed by the Community budget. Fraud affecting the Community's financial interests is a major risk. Those interests need, therefore, to be effectively protected. The Commission has put forward a proposal for a Directive on the criminal-law protection of the Community's financial interests that is aimed at aligning national criminal laws.
Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the criminal-law protection of the Community's financial interests [Official Journal C 240 E of 28.08.2001].
Amended proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the criminal-law protection of the Community's financial interests [COM(2002) 577 final - Official Journal C 71 E of 25.03.03].
The Community institutions and the Member States acknowledge the importance of effective protection for the Community's financial interests. In order to combat fraud and other illegal activities affecting those interests, the Member States signed the Convention of 26 July 1995 on the protection of the European Communities' financial interests and several additional protocols which provide for measures aimed in particular at aligning national criminal laws. As these instruments have still not been ratified by all the Member States, the Commission has presented a proposal for a Directive on the basis of new Article 280 of the EC Treaty introduced by the Amsterdam Treaty, which incorporates a large proportion of their provisions.
After first defining certain key terms such as Community official, national official and legal person, the proposal requires Member States to make fraud, corruption and money laundering affecting the financial interests of the Community a criminal offence in their national law.
Fraud involving expenditure as well as revenue
Fraud affecting the Community's financial interests can involve expenditure as well as revenue. Fraud can consist of any intentional act or omission relating to:
- the use or presentation of false, incorrect or incomplete statements or documents;

Howdy y'all
Recently I spent some time with my niece, and she had some dip she had made that was just awesome! And it's so quick and easy to make too. Here is the recipe:
1 can of black beans (drained)
1 can of shoepeg corn (drained)
1 tomato
1 green pepper
1 onion
1/2 cup of ranch dressing
Chop up the tomato, green pepper and onion into small pieces. Mix with all the other ingredients. Even though this dip is good as soon as it's made, it does get better when it's chilled. Enjoy!

- Williams news
Technical boss Symonds leaves Marussia for Williams
- Teams:
- Manor
Pat Symonds will leave Marussia to become Williams' chief technical officer, replacing outgoing Williams technical director Mike Coughlan.
Symonds joined Marussia as a low-key consultant in February 2011; his first job in the sport since the Renault-Crashgate scandal broke in 2009. This year he returned to the sport full time as the leading member of Marussia's technical team, but with ten races left to run is leaving for Williams where he will start work on August 19, replacing Coughlan who leaves Grove with immediate effect.
"Williams is a team steeped in success and engineering excellence and I'm honoured to be asked to play a role in returning the team to its rightful place at the pinnacle of Formula One," he said. "Sir Frank [Williams], Mike [O'Driscoll] and Claire [Williams] have put in place the foundations for success and I'm immensely excited to begin this new challenge."
He added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Marussia F1 Team over the course of the past two and a half seasons. The team has developed immeasurably during that time and it now has all the right people and resources in place to achieve great things in the future. I wish the team the success it so richly deserves."
Sir Frank Williams said: "I'm delighted that Pat is joining the team. His technical capabilities and sporting successes speak for themselves and I'm sure that his knowledge and leadership will contribute considerably to the success that all of us at Williams are working hard to achieve."
Coughlan joined Williams in 2011 as chief engineer and replaced Sam Michael at the end of the season as techincal director. Despite a strong season in 2012, Williams has struggled for form this year and the team issued a statement about his departure alongside the Symonds news.
Marussia team principal John Booth said Symonds had left a solid structure in place for the team to develop on next year when it switches to Ferrari power.
"For the Marussia F1 Team, each new season has seen a significant step change in terms of our growth and development at every level of the operation. The extent to which we have progressed was particularly evident as we embarked on the 2013 season, when our performance demonstrated just how much we have matured from a technical point of view.
"We have some very talented design and engineering groups in place who have achieved great things over the past few seasons and who are excited about maintaining our current positive trajectory, boosted of course by our new powertrain partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. We would like to thank Pat for the contribution he has made to the development of that structure. We look forward to announcing plans for our continued growth when it is appropriate to do so."

A breakthrough in the asthma treatment process being used to treat patients in Southern California may prevent attacks and cut down hospitalizations.
The treatment is called Bronchial Thermoplasty, in which the smooth tissues around the airways are heated.
"It helps reduce the amount of muscle tissue surrounding the bronchial walls," said Dr. Avi Ishaaya, an asthma specialist in Los Angeles.
First, anesthesia is administered, and then a doctor inserts a flexible tube through the mouth or nose, guiding it to the lungs. The tip of the tube uses radio waves to heat the smooth muscle.
It can take up to three treatments to heat up enough of the muscle to make a difference. But once completed, these benefits may last at least five years. More research is needed to determine for how long the effects will last.
As with any procedure, patients should speak with their doctor as there are risks and individual results can vary. But the risks in a Bronchial Thermoplasty may be minimal.
"There's no destruction that occurs to the tissue at all," Ishaaya said.
Although this procedure does not replace other treatments, it can reduce the need for them.
There has been "over 30 percent reductions in asthma exacerbations and about an 80 percent or so reduction in visits to the emergency rooms," Ishaaya said.
The treatment is covered by some insurance companies, but for those paying out of pocket it can cost about $15,000. Overall, it may be costing patients less than conventional asthma medications and doctor visits.

Before you comment read the rest of this post.
If you comment suggest why and dont just assume who is better.
I am pretty sure that most people will vote for Madara due to his raw power and sharingan.
Lets just say that both are full health except Madara has EMS.
So.. Minato vs. EMS Madara
Here we go...
Minato Namikaze
Known for his god-speed he is practically untouchable, even when obito used his kamui on minato he was able to evade it and also his s/t overpowers his. Minatos only offensive attack we know at the moment is the rasengan. This may be the case but Minato also has summons(gamabunta, ma and pa etc.) and also specializes in sealing jutsu's(death reaper seal, eight trigrams seal etc). Not to mention his ultimate jutsu FTG is what can possibly bring Madara down, it could even get through susanoo.
Ways in which Minato can defeat Madara:
1. If Minato ever landed a FTG seal on Madara he would have a very low chance at defeating Minato due to the fact that he is marked and has no chance of escape or evading any of Minatos attacks head on. Even if Madara was in susanoo form, Minato still has a chance at attacking him because there is a gap between him and his susanoo. For instance if Madara was marked Minato could charge his rasengan to full power and then use FTG to get Madara inside his susanoo. If Minato was able to use kage bushin no jutsu he would be extremely hard to defeat meaning that his s/t combined with 3 or 4 shadow clones could possibly end the fight.
2. Sealing jutsu will be in handy for short distance because you cannot release a seal physically. A seal is intangible meaning Minatos seals can bring Madara down. If the case was that bad Minato could ude his Reaper death seal as his final card to end the fight. The only thing is, is that the user of the jutsu dies which makes it a draw but in any case he still defeated Madara.
3. Besides Minatos sealing jutsu and offensive jutsu's he still has summons which can prolong the battle possibly giving Minato the chance to recover or think of another strategy. This could also tire out Madara and distract him opening him for an attack.
Madara Uchiha
Madara's abilities:
Been the first to unlock MS and use its abilities grants Madara more experience with the sharingan and more of a powerful opponent. If he uses EMS he has the ability to use mangekyou without losong sight which can be an extreme advantage to battle. Madara specializes in fire style based justu's and has the ability to control bijuu such as kyuubi. Also his ability to use genjutsu, this could possibly work if he had Minato completely immobilised and could have him dead mentally. His ultimate justsu would have to be susanoo which could make things very hard for Minato. Minatos attacks will be rendered useless and would have no effect on him in susanoo form. Madara owns the battle close range and if he did use his PS then the battle could possibly end.
Ways in which Madara could defeat Minato:
1. His ability to use genjutsu could bring him a win to the battle if he had Minato immobilised, it would grant an instant win unless minato used kage bushin.
2. Madara's firestyle was known to be incredibly advanced and could put Minato in great risk of been attacked close range been unable to defend it physically. Minato is vulnerable to head on attacks like this besides him using FTG for defense.
3. Susanoo will be Madara's ultimate jutsu which would own Minato close range unless he isnt been sealed Madara is automatically winner of the battle. PS will be as much of a threat in which would turn the tables instantly and put minato at high risk of death.
Besides that I think that Minato would have more of a chance, and not to show that I'm being biased but Madara cannot evade FTG or a seal close range but as for all of Madara attacks Minato is able to use FTG or summons to escape.
Madara's trump card: Perfect susanoo
Minato's trump card: Reaper death seal or FTG

text: Always fun to watch old matches. Just amazing how pinpoint accurate both players were and how consistent they were, and how they get better as the match gets tighter. First thing that struck me was the sound of the highly strung gut vs. the sound of strings today. Steffi using her Dunlop here, before she switched to Wilson. And Monica is using her "regular" OS, not her comically large 135 sq inch version she used briefly after her comeback. Monica wins this match 10-8 in the third. Of course, Graf has quite the revenge about a month later, thrashing Seles 6-2, 6-1 in the Wimbledon final.

An iconic part of Rotherham's mining past was brought crashing to the ground this afternoon.
At 1.15pm a controlled explosion carried out by demolition experts saw Maltby Colliery's No3 winding tower reduced to rubble and dust.
Ex-miners and surface workers gathered at the site to see the 78-metre-high building brought to ground level.
For many the tower held fond memories of their time working at the pit.
The demolition is the latest development in the de-commissioning of Maltby Colliery, which had its first mining shafts sunk in 1910.
Hargreaves Services plc, owners and operators of Maltby Colliery since 2007, have been engaging with specialist contractors since the mine ceased operations in 2013, working to remove a number of the mine's main buildings and cap the old mine shafts.
Today marked the end of the pit's most visually striking structure which has been a Maltby landmark for many years.
