They rock. Once again Underground did an amazing job.
- Super fast - Starts gliding amazingly soon
- Cuts through chop - Amazingly stable
- Smooth transition - Incredible in waves. Heel to toeside transitions are smooth and very fast. Also slides amazingly well when doing surfaces passes or sliding into blind
- Quality - Fantastic finish and same durability I was used to from the previous version
- Flex - Great for generating good pop and soft/smooth landings
Absolute lightwind machine - 8 knots and a 16 and I'm going upwind, jumping and doing most tricks that don't require a lot of power. I have tried other lightwind boards like Slingshot Glide and Airus Exile. I (personally) think this 'custom' version of the 152 is the superior board. It has all the benefits from the 132 as described above. But the two things that I find great are that it turns on a dime and you are able to generate great pop even in very light winds. Very different to the feeling that you have on larger boards normally.
The Exile is a very stiff board and quite heavy. It's a great lightwind board given it's really short (137cm), but not amazing in chop, waves and doesn't generate the same pop as the Underground (due to it's flex).
The SS Glide is also a great lightwind board. But the water has to be really flat as the board it really flat itself. The fins are very small, which makes it hard to ride it very flat to get some extra gliding ability.
Has anyone had any experience with the new Underground range????

Sometimes this Chihuahua Pomeranian mix and this Australian cattle dog mix will sit next to me, working on long, cylindrical gold dog toys I have cannily stuffed with greenies. The dogs go insane for greenies. It's a dog drug for sure. It's dognip. I worry about anything that creates that much desire and excitement, as I am projecting my own addictive tendencies onto my animals, so I really pack the greenies down into the toys, making it near impossible to get them out. The treats are broken up with slow patient licking at the base of the toy, and so when they are on the floor, working on these buried treasures, snouts passionately engaged in extrication, they look like my very own horn section.
Dog eyes close in rapture, as they are entrenched in the moment, the touch of the tongue to treat releasing a burst of greenie flavor that they go for again and again. the horn section has no honking trumpets or saxophones, but there is the rhythmic cadence of canine breath and licking, and every once in a while, there is a tiny squeak of a dog fart, which always smells much larger than it sounds, filling the room with the stinky aftermath of swallowed air from playing. So even if it doesn't sound like a brass band, they are still tooting their own horns.
I am scared to admit this, but I really love the smell of farts. I don't care where it is from. If it is my own, I suck it up into my face. I have actually cupped my own ass and brought the scent to my nose. To me this is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Dog farts are even more exciting. They smell like a good time being had, excitement and satisfaction and bliss, a dog body relaxing after busy dog activities.
There is this cute thing my little dog will do, that my big dog doesn't. The little one, after she has finished her session with the horn section, will take her instrument into her maw and heave it down a full flight of stairs, watching the toy bounce down each step, trying to see if this will break loose the greenie I have jammed inside with a wooden spoon or a chopstick. She will then run to the bottom of the stairs, walking around the toy carefully and slow, like a forensic detective, taking in clues, looking for evidence, checking out the site of the impact, like a ballistics expert. When she is finished with her detailed assessment, she will take the toy back into her jaws and race back to the top of the stairs and do it again, filling the stairwell with a green sulphurous gas that makes me instantly tired, and we will both collapse together on my bed, her tiny body pressed against my knee, or just at the bottom of my feet, to make a dog/human exclamation point, and we fart together in harmony.

|Academic Support Manager
|Third Year at Santa Clara
|Previous College:
|Idaho State, 2000, '02
After playing and coaching at the Division I level on the hardwoods, Angela Munger is in her second year as the academic support manager for both the men's and women's basketball teams in 2013-14. She oversees all facets of the men's and women's basketball student athletes' academic plan.
A native of Hawthorne, Nev., Angela earned a B.S. in biology in 2000 from Idaho State, then a Master's in athletic administration from Idaho State in 2002.
Prior to coming to Santa Clara Munger worked in the private sector in the Bay Area as a territory representative for Lifefitness and Hammer Strength in the vertical market which included schools, police and fire, corporations, and hospitality.
Munger was an assistant coach at Idaho State for three years, including the last two as the associate head coach after being promoted following her first season at ISU.
Munger helped ISU continuously improve from a fourth-place regular season finish in 2009, her first season, to a three-way tie for second place in 2010. She also helped ISU improve from an 11-win season in 2009 to a 15-win season in 2010. During the 2009-10 season Idaho State made its 12th Big Sky championship appearance.
In her first year, she helped Idaho State to a fourth place finish in the Big Sky regular season and a near upset of Montana in the Big Sky semifinal tournament game. Munger also served as ISU's recruiting coordinator, along with working primarily with the team's guards. Munger coached guard Jenna Brown who earned Big Sky second team honors and Andrea Videbeck who earned honorable mention.
She came to Sobolewski's staff after serving as an assistant coach at Air Force for seven years under Ardie McInelly. Her responsibilities included scheduling, recruiting, scouting, film breakdown, and equipment. On the floor, she worked primarily with the Academy's guards, as well as both offensive and defensive strategies.
Munger had her coaching start at Idaho State as a graduate assistant for the 2000-01 season. The 2000-01 season included a perfect 16-0 conference record, a 21-game winning streak, ISU's first ever conference regular season and tournament titles, and ISU's first trip to the NCAA Tournament.
One of the most popular players in Bengal history, Munger played from 1996-2000 under former coach McInelly, earning first team All-Big Sky honors as a senior and co-team MVP honors at the 2000 Bennion Awards Banquet. She also was a four-year Big Sky All-Academic pick and was second in career steals and fifth in career assists.

It's about to be the Fourth of July. Again. Our town was here before the American independence from Britain, but we're not counting that, because we weren't in the country then anyway. Heck, some people think we're still not really American! And we had our own war, in a way, here—the War of 1812, featuring the famous Battle of New Orleans. That war in many ways made America a unified country, and we're celebrating the bicentennial of that this year.
Nonetheless, we love the Fourth of July. With the Mississippi River as the launching pad, we set off fireworks from dueling barges (we used to have duels here, too, under the famous Dueling Oaks in Audubon Park). We call that one Go Fourth on the River, and you can get a terrific view from ACROSS the river in Algiers Point. But the official location is Woldenberg Park, and it's free. The fireworks show this year is Sunday at 9PM.
And if you want to hide out in a cool, air-conditioned theater, you can go to a movie. We're really excited about "Beasts of the Southern Wild," directed by a local filmmaker, Benh Zeitlin, filmed in New Orleans and South Louisiana, and getting all kinds of national and international attention. (We wrote about Zeitlin and his local consortium of filmmakers, Court 13, earlier this year). It opens on Wednesday, July 4 here in the city, but we've already had a red-carpet premiere at the newly renovated Joy Theater on Canal Street. That's something worth celebrating right there.

Mexico: Five Burgers Worth Checking Out In Tijuana
Tijuana may not be known as a burger destination, but on my latest trip across the border, I sampled a representative cross-section of Tijuana's burger options, including fast food, food truck, and fine dining versions.The good news: there are tasty burgers to be had in TJ, and they're cheap.
The bad news is that many places serve nearly identical burgers, all made from frozen patties, cooked on a charcoal grill. This means that the beef is deliciously smoky, but also cooked completely through. What differentiates one burger joint from another is the toppings, and all of them seem to be in a race to out-do the others. Chicken filets, ham, pineapple rings, and Teriyaki sauce are as common as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Tijuana may be a bit behind the curve when it comes to grass-fed beef, "artisan" buns, and house-made ketchup, but they win when it comes to creativity and value. The burgers I tried ranged from $2 US for a simple fast food-style burger to about $14 for a Waygu burger in a schmantzy restaurant—a relative steal.
If you live in San Diego, or are visiting, it's worth the hassle of crossing the border (and the cab fare) to do a little bit of exploration when tasty eats come this cheap. Here are five burgers worth checking out in Tijuana:
(Note: I'd include a map of all the locations, but most of the addresses either do not show up on Google Map or they show up in the wrong places.)

One of the most common reasons given by immigrants for coming to Canada is that they want to give their children a better life. Immigrant parents make huge sacrifices in the hopes their children will succeed, get a higher education and become engaged Canadian citizens. There is a lot of pressure put on the next generation not only by their parents, but by those who advocate increasing immigration levels in Canada.
In a recent article in the Globe and Mail, Ratna Omidvar, president of the Maytree Foundation, wrote
"the children of immigrants have higher rates of post-secondary education than non-immigrant Canadians. What's more, those born to parents from Africa, China and other Asian countries attend university and college at far higher rates than both non-immigrant Canadians and those born to immigrants from anglosphere countries."
The facts exist to support the argument that first-generation Canadians integrate successfully into Canadian society and achieve high levels of success. But how does the next generation negotiate the various pressures to succeed and integrate into Canadian society? How do they forge an identity that is both Canadian but that also preserves elements of their family's heritage and culture?
This evening at the Ottawa Main Library, M.P. Michael Chong and policy advisor Sunny Uppal, two prominent leaders and first generation Canadians of Asian descent, share their stories of growing up as the children of Asian immigrants in celebration of Asian Heritage Month.
The event has been organized by the Passages to Canada Speaker's Bureau, a national educational initiative through which Canadians share their stories of immigration and diverse heritage with students and community groups across Canada.
In light of this evening's event, on behalf of the Historica-Dominion Institute, I sat down with Michael Chong, M.P. (Wellington-Halton Hills) to get his thoughts on the central issues facing first-generation Canadians.
Jeremy: Your parents were both immigrants; your father is Chinese and your mother, Dutch. What has growing up in Canada, as the child of immigrants, meant for you and your career aspirations?
Michael: My parents faced barriers that I never did, and I was given opportunities that they never had. From an early age, I wanted to give back to my community and country. Public office and public service is how I decided to do that.
Jeremy: What elements of your parents' cultural identity have you kept, and what have you decided to disregard?
Michael: We have made an effort to tell our three children about their grandparents and where they came from. When they get a little older, we would like them to learn either Dutch or Chinese, to re-connect them to their roots.
Jeremy: In your experience, are there particular challenges that the children of immigrants face that are different from those faced in non-immigrant families?
Michael: It really depends on the situation. Some face language barriers, other cultural barriers. Others still face school-yard taunts. In general, I think things have really changed for the better and that is why Canada is such a desired destination for many.
Jeremy: How has your upbringing in such a diverse household impacted your ideas around Canadian identity?
Michael: Being in a mixed-race marriage meant that my parents came from two very different solitudes -- both Chinese and Dutch, both Asian and European. As their child, I was only partly in each of those two solitudes, neither completely in, nor completely out. As a result, I very strongly bonded to my identity as a Canadian.
Jeremy: In 2004, you wrote an editorial for the Globe and Mail arguing that Canadian identity should not be hyphenated, such as referring to Chinese-Canadians. Rather, we should strive for a common identity that allows for understanding among all ethnic groups. Have your thoughts on this changed at all over the years?
Michael: I still feel strongly about this. As Canada becomes more diverse, we need to coalesce around the idea that all Canadians, regardless of their ancestry, or whether they have been here for four or 400 years, are citizens who share a commons set of rights and responsibilities. If we don't, the forces that pull us apart will become much stronger that the ones that unite us.
Jeremy: May was declared Asian Heritage Month by the Government of Canada in 2002. There have been arguments made with respect to this and Black History Month in February that setting aside a single month is tokenistic and keeps us from studying this history all year round. Others argue that it is important to designate a month to acknowledge the contributions and struggles of certain communities. Where do you fall in this debate?
Michael: These designations serve a purpose. They highlight the contributions that various Canadians have made to building Canada. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need to do this, and perhaps, one day, we won't.
Jeremy: What role do you think stories like yours play in helping to inform, educate and inspire new generations of Canadians?
Michael: I think that for many communities, getting involved in politics represents the last stage of integration into Canadian society. Many immigrants to Canada are focused on surviving and putting food on the table, and don't have time for politics. However, when their children win elections and public office, it shows that if you get involved, you can make a difference and help build a better Canada.

Swimming Pools – What Is Your Choice?
Whilst here we are in the middle of winter, if you are thinking about buying a swimming pool for summer then now is the ideal time to go about buying one.
"Why buy a swimming pool in winter?" I hear you cry! Well firstly, if it is a hot summer then by the time you get around to buying a pool you will either have left it too late if you are going to have one built in the ground as typically an installer will be booked up months in advance, or you the dealer will not have the above ground pool you want in stock.
Secondly, you will find that prices will be lower if you buy a pool in winter, and you will also have a far wider range of options available to purchase. You may have your ideal purchase in mind but it you wait until summer then you may not find anywhere with it in stock.
So, you want a pool and have made the sensible choice to buy one in winter when prices are low and supply is good, so what are you going to buy? These days you have a wide variety of choices when it comes to purchasing a swimming pool, with many do it yourself options available.
Long gone are the days when the only way to get a swimming pool installed was to have a professional build it for you at the price they wanted to charge. You can now buy a wide variety of swimming pools in kit form, either in ground or above ground pool kits.
In general, above ground pool kits tend to be cheaper to build than in ground ones. Other than supplying electric and water to it, the cost of the pool kit is the only expense you will have. Whereas an in ground pool kit will cost more - to make a more permanent installation, with the cost of excavating and removing the soil required to site the pool - on top of its purchase price.
In ground pool kits commonly take the form of a block and liner kit, which will require you to build the walls and floor, or a pre-formed metal pool, which will still need a hole digging to fit it but will need nothing more than electric and water connecting to it. Fiberglass pools are also available, the entire shell drops into the pool.
Above ground pool kits are easily obtained and far cheaper and easier to install, and can even be installed in a day or less by one person. So if you are going to buy a pool consider doing it now, not in summer.
Chris Miles is the Director at Splash and Relax, the leading supplier of swimming pools products in the UK.
Splash and Relax specialise in Above Ground Swimming Pools from major brands world wide.

When I read Bill Keller's bizarre piece in the New York Times yesterday morning, where he proposes a loaded religious quiz for potential candidates, I actually gasped. Considering I've been reading dozens of religion stories a day for years, it's hard to surprise me. I'm not saying I haven't heard these types of comments uttered against religious believers, be they Pagan or Mormon or Catholic. And there's even a counter-Jihad movement that says similar things to what Keller has said, only about Muslims. But it's not like Pamela Geller is given space in the New York Times to share her views about creeping Sharia. Far from it. She's attacked for her views -- in the news pages. I couldn't quite process this piece. It just seemed too hard to believe that Bill Keller, whatever his well-known bias against Catholics, would do this.
So here's my theory: I think that Keller didn't do this. I mean, he did, but only to make a point. I'm not entirely sure what that point is, but he's clearly pulling everyone's leg. Hear me out.
The whole piece is about the need to ask more questions of presidential candidates. He has general questions and then specific questions. But he doesn't have any for President Barack Obama. As in, no questions (one writer offers 20, should Keller be having trouble developing them for some odd reason). Certainly the case can't be made that questions for Obama aren't newsworthy. I mean, "people" may have "questions" about the religious views of Michele Bachmann. Sure. But are you really going to pretend that "people" don't have "questions" about the religious views of President Obama? Are you joking? So why the disparity?
Is it because his paper, under his direction, thoroughly vetted the religious views of President Obama? Heh. Um, no. One data point: Back in 2008, it took six months for readers of the paper to even learn of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's infamous "God Damn America!" words by seeing them in a news story. The news broke in March and first appeared in the paper literally six months later.
If the piece isn't satire, why would Keller say that Rick Santorum is part of a "fervid subset of evangelical Christianity"? He's Roman Catholic.
If the piece isn't satire, why would the lede mention space aliens, much less compare belief in an alien invasion to Christianity?
If the piece isn't satire, why would he claim that "many Americans" view Catholicism, Protestant Christianity and Mormonism as "mysterious or suspect"? Does he have any concept of what percentage of Americans fall into one of those three categories? Of course he does. It's clearly satire.
Why would he traffic in the type of crude stereotypes about Mormons that result in condemnation from liberals?
If this weren't satire, why would he mis-state what Catholics believe about Communion? What's more, would he really call that sacrament "baggage" and "bizarre" unless he was trying to make a point about bigotry? I can't imagine he would.
If this weren't satire, would he really say that the Christian relationship to the Bible is one of lord and servant? Would he really pretend that in order to be a good candidate for office you have to believe that the Constitution is a higher authority than the Bible? Would he really pretend that the laws of this country are inerrant?
Would he come up with laugh lines such as this?:
I care a lot if a candidate is going to be a Trojan horse for a sect that believes it has divine instructions on how we should be governed.
If this weren't satire, would he really confuse inerrancy with literalism?
If this weren't satire, would a respected news man really be pushing the threat of Dominionism? Would he call someone a Dominionist who explained just two weeks ago that she had to literally Google the term to learn what it meant? Someone who explained quite clearly why the slur is inaccurate when used against her? I mean, I know he's biased, but he's not a hack.
If this weren't satire, would he pretend that his loaded gotcha questions were "respectful"? He knows readers aren't stupid.
If this weren't satire, would he believe no one notices that there sure seems to be a lot of emphasis on religion for a race that's largely about an unemployment rate of 9.1%?
If this weren't satire, would he really raise a question about whether the candidates have fealty to something above the Constitution, but then criticize squeamishness about appointing Muslim judges because of questions raised about some Muslims placing Islamic law above the constitution?
If this weren't satire, would he really suggest that it's only problematic if Republicans are endorsed by people Keller doesn't like -- and not mention, I don't know, that Hamas officials endorsed President Obama? No!
There's got to be more to this. There's just no way that Keller would be blowing up his paper's relationship with religious people on his way out from leading the paper. There's no way. Not the man who wrote that famous call for improved, accurate, fair coverage of religious believers.
New York Times religion reporters have enough trouble of their own building up rapport and relationships with religious adherents. I can't help but imagine they've been working hard to restore trust with some of the leaders who have given up even talking to them. That's what reporters do. Something like this would make it so easy for religious people to dismiss the Times in perpetuity. There's no way that an executive editor would do something like that to the pros in his newsroom.
Now, I did fall for the Krugman hoax earlier this week, to my shame, so perhaps I'm overreacting. But I am not going to be had twice.
There must be some deeper meaning here. There's no way that the Times would openly display such bigotry or destroy its credibility so thoroughly. Is this a point about how campaign coverage should focus on the economy or role of government? Is this a point about counter-jihadists? Is this a point about how we should handle bigotry in the public square? What's the point of it? I know it's been done to prove a point, but I'm just not sure what.
And before you say, "Come on, Mollie! Keller's anti-Catholic writing has such a long history from his questioning the Pope's Catholicity to his more recent 'collapsed Catholic' ax-grinding phase," I'll remind you -- yet again -- that he also wrote this.
Perhaps that's our answer. Maybe he's trying to show his reporters the difference between just giving lip service to diversity and actually living it. And maybe even the anti-Catholic stuff was one long piece of performance art. It would certainly make much more sense than the idea that Keller actually believes these things about Protestants, Catholics and Mormons, right? Like all good satire, it works because it's almost believable that the New York Times would promote such thinking in its pages. But it was over-the-top in a way that reveals it's really a brilliant piece of satire by outgoing executive editor Bill Keller. Good work, sir. Good work.

Season 1: amazingly beautiful story with high levels of character development and comedy, with just a touch of drama.
Season 2: a downward spiral into melodrama and stupidity, using the old calling cards of 'misinterpreting' and 'no one clarifies their statements'. You know, all the melodrama could have been avoided thus far if Ayane just actually finished her sentences when she starts to tell people whats actually going on. The fact that she gets interrupted EVERY SINGLE TIME is horribly grating.

I thought they got to somewhere in S1 and now S2 is back to square one. Ep 5 wasn't too bad. I haven't watched ep 6 yet but judging from the reactions maybe I shouldn't watch it to save myself from unnecessary frustration. I think theme of S2 is frustration (in various different ways) which is not something I look for when watching an anime. (Maybe I'll just re-watch Blue Green Years and Akachan to Boku for some real enjoyment.)

... Ayane already predicted the outcome if she just intervened last episode: Sawako would still think that Kazehaya just acts out of kindness.
As I mentioned before S1 was not so much about romantic development as it was about teaching Sawako some basic social skills, which she shows to have adapted to in S2 way more casually than S1, so there's her development. Love however is a whole new level for her, it has been shown in S1 several times that although she admit her feelings for him she would freak out at the thought of actually making a move or the possibility of him holding the same feelings, she was simply overwhelmed. Now please tell me, what exactly happened between the end of season 1 up to now that could have justified a development for her not to be overwhelmed again and thus misunderstand the situation?
... tbh I would've been really disappointed if she actually believed him as easy as that because that would've been really ooc as well as anticlimatic as hell. This is were patience comes into play: KnT is developing slowly in some aspects, however, it's not that different to S1, no one seemed to really care back then ... what has changed? Is it really just the higher level of drama?

Wow classic love attack from Kento, nasty but very effective.
Anyway onto epi 6, great build up and hopefully this will be enough to snap Sawako out of her mindset. It must be horrible to be treated in such a way that you can't believe in yourself. She does so well right now I wonder how she will blossom when she has some self belief?
Shouta and Sawako's misunderstanding really highlights how Sawako see's herself and how hard it is for someone like Kento or Shouta to understand her.
Ayane again is just great, not just for Sawako but for Chi too. She is the real master, Sawako u are learning from the wrong person!!!!
Gambatte Sawako datchi!!!!!!

Dear God, I hate to make my recent posts so negative (I'm not trolling, trust me), but this makes me want to drop this series.
Sawako needs to just freaking say she loves him. TWO WORDS ("suki desu") would more-or-less fix everything, but she just sits there and stays quiet. Kazehaya's much to blame too. He doesn't understand Sawako's tears, the bastard.
It makes me rage A LOT. Sawako and Kazehaya both throwing themselves separate pity-parties is just pathetic.
Kent > Kazehaya at this point for me, if only because he's not only a nice guy, but also seems to care for Sawako's feelings, to boot. On the surface, he's really laid back, but I get the impression he really does care. Kazehaya, on the other hand, is so preoccupied with himself currently that he's blind to what Sawako's feeling. Grrrrr. I can't believe Kazehaya actually thinks that Sawako would cry if she WASN'T in love with him. What a moron.
I'm not going to drop this series. Yet. However, if we don't come out of this pit of melodramatic bullshit soon (as in the next 3-4 episodes), I swear to God I'm gonna drop it.

"YOU'RE ALREADY FRIENDS YOU IDIOT!" is what I'd have screamed at Sawako if she weren't made of ink.
This is the first time we see Kazehaya and Sawako's relationship in true danger, that's the big difference. It's all been cake and cutsy with them till now - slowmotion development aside.
The problem only is: Despite everything that happened Sawako hasn't changed the way she perceives herself. Just like she wasn't able to grasp that her new friends simply like her; it's beyond her that Kazehaya could have fallen for her instead of just being nice and refreshing. Sawa isn't used to people liking her or not avoiding her for that matter.
It'd be out of character for Sawako to simply conclude "oh he likes me", instead of misunderstanding like she did.
I clapped hooray at Chizu for telling her off. Her wise moments are few, but that makes them just the more awesome. She needs to get out of this "I'm not worth anything" mentality she has developed over her ... whole lifetime .
Knowing it's perfectly reasonable how she acts didn't help my frustration, though. God, how I dreaded this episode
They like each other. He confesses. Three times.
BOTH misunderstand.
Both think they've been rejected.
WTH. While I get what the mangaka wnated to get across with this choice ... it's just so teethshattering headdesk worthy that I have to ask: Was there no other way to create drama between them?
.. I'm just looking forward to the next episode xD

Kent is to some degree caring for Sawako, that's true. However even though his motives are basiacally pure he misses some valid points to be qualified a real help. It's actually him who's acting nice towards Sawako out of pity, not Kazehaya. That's why he proposed to date her even though they don't really know each other for too long. He sees her as the ugly duckling, that's why he can't imagine Kazehaya loving her to begin with. Finally, he's not even trying to really understand Sawako. From the beginning of their interactions he has just made assumptions instead of finding out about what's going on, he left too many gaps before properly solving the riddle. This ignorance is most evident in the fact that Kent is still calling her Sadako ... no, he understands her the least. He's a good guy, I give him that but he's also too conceited to see the truth.
About Kazehaya, I don't think he can be blind to something he isn't able to see in the first place right now. What in the story could've assured him that she has actually the same feelings for him? Her crying? Not really. He can assume she's crying because while she's still thankful for all he did she is also sorry to not love him back. Or is it because of his confidence with girls since he's such an idol? It doesn't exist when it comes to actual romantic feelings since, unless someone proves me otherwise, he most probably didn't have a love interest in life before so he's bound to be almost as insecure as her. Just look at how many times he was embarassed, flustered or jealous when it came to Sawako.
He is not the typical flawless and omnipotent bishounen you often see in other shoujo, he has clearly outlined weaknesses.
... ahh and sorry about the wall of text, I gotta learn to shorten my posts

Well I don't enjoy every bit of character development we get per se, and a low point doesn't mean it's a useless scene that detracts from the overall story. Yes I understand that it's a very in-character and almost required section that advances the plot and the characters, and even though it does that very well, it doesn't mean I enjoy it just because it does its job.

Though after further consideration, I think I might agree with Kanon by saying that Sawako might actually be autistic. I mean, it takes serious leaps of faulty logic to arrive at the conclusion that Kazehaya is "just being nice" to her, especially after Kazehaya tells Sawako straight to her face that he loves her. That goes beyond just a lack of social skills and into outright stupidity.
I can see why Kazehaya is insecure, but Sawako has no excuse after Kazehaya finally manned up and told her.

Also: Pin needs more love. Barely seen him in S2. I swear we need a Pin-tastic episode as a breather from all this melodrama.

You can't put this whole package of blame on one single character. Both, Kazehaya and Sawako are equally to blame for this misunderstanding as they are both involved in creating it as well as being unable to see through it at this point but ultimately they are both lacking communication.
Add in some disctracting hits by Kent (obviously) , Chizu (telling Kazehaya he's the most distant to Sawako) and somehow even Kurumi (rekindling Sawako's doubts and insecurity) and you have quite the fine web of misleading information and false assumptions where it's impossible to clearly say which single character is to fully blame.
Tbh I think this misunderstanding is cleverly constructed and really good writing, especially if compared to how simple and boring other series' misunderstandings usually work: "Oh gosh, pushy female side character has made a move on main male character which main female character misunderstands and thus ends up being pissed at main male character." (switch genders for shoujo scenario)
Anyway, I totally understand if people get frustrated with such a situation and drama but to some degree that's what these episodes/chapters are supposed to. Again, you can't appreciate the light if you've never been in the dark ... ok that was kinda cheesy i admit but you get the idea

I've been rewatching this scene, and I think I understand a bit more why Sawako misinterpreted what I thought was a crystal clear line. Koui (kindness) and Koi (love) sound pretty much the same, so that's why she misunderstood Kazehaya's declaration.
Shiiiiit. I just checked the manga raw and he did say Koui. Oh, the irony! I'm the one who misunderstood!

The Textiles Conservation Laboratory
Textiles Conservation
The Textile Conservation Laboratory treats a wide range of collections objects made from fabrics. These include costumes, samplers and needlework pictures, quilts and coverlets, printed textiles and home furnishings such as curtains and carpets. Typical treatments involve examining the object, cleaning it, stabilizing (or supporting) it and preparing it for storage or display. Because many of the textiles in Colonial Williamsburg's collections are very large and must be treated lying flat, this lab is the largest dedicated space among the conservation labs. The bulk of the lab space is occupied by large flat surfaces which can be partially disassembled to allow access to specified areas of the object being treated while still providing support for the entire piece.

I did promise to eventually finish what I started with my very first post, didn't I. Yes, I admit it is not hard to get me blabbering about the great and wonderful SST RECORDS. So I've done it again – written about what all my favorite SST heroes have been up to since jumping Greg Ginn's ship, that is. But as this whole conceit is actually pretty damn arbitrary, I thought I'd get myself focused for this one. This time – to keep it simple: I'm only discussing post-SST tangents that have come out in the last decade. Off we go!
1. THE UNKNOWN INSTRUCTORS – "At The Center" (from The Master's Voice, Smog Veil Records, 2006) A conscious attempt by poet Dan McGuire to recreate that SST spoken word/jamnation trip of yore, using the very cats (Mike Watt, George Hurley, Joe Baiza etc.) that created said SST jams in the first place. Such a proposition could be dicy, but forget that – since the 2 CDs they've put out so far are compelling, meaty examples of just how improvised rock + the right words can combust in totally sublime, meaningful ways. The new one, The Master's Voice, feels stronger, tougher, even more confident than the first, and hence has my pick between the two. The beautiful Pettibon cover artwork (plus his disassociative lead patter on one particularly mindbending track) had me captivated from spin one. The rest – Baiza's slithering/scrambling leads, Watt's powerful, widemouth basslines, Hurley's rockgroover drumming, and McGuire's ominous incantations – settled in nicely after a few days. What took longer to get accustomed to was the presence of Mr. David Thomas of PERE UBU – on birdcalls, yodels, and non sequiturs, what else! Clearly, this man still posesses the innate power to wedge himself uncomfortably high up into yr asscrack with remarkable ease. But hey, I didn't bitch. I just took a couple of deep breaths, and relaxed into it all. Now, the whole thing fits real fine. REAL fine.
2. THE CHUCK DUKOWSKI SEXTET – "Night of the Hunter" (from Eat My Life, Nice & Friendly Records, 2006) Just be happy Chuck's back. I, for one, can overlook a singer who makes me feel a bit queasy. Shit, every one of Chuck's bands (WURM, SWA, even FLAG) had difficult singers; it's what I've come to expect from the man. Here, the tunes are good, and playing inspired, and the mix warm and bassy. So what if I don't dig the vocals? And this probably sounds way better live, but I ain't anywhere near Venice, CA no more (where Chuck's living these days). This CD'll haveta make do til they TURN UP THOSE GTRS and release another.
3. TEN EAST – "Expanding Darkness" (from their Extraterrestrial Highway CD, Alone Records, 2006) Just amazing recent instumental work by gtrists Gary Arce & Mario Lalli plus bassist Brant Bjork and drummer Bill Stinson – all of whom (Brant excluded) played on various SST releases during the 90's. Clearly, the best rock album EVER to listen to while hauling an 18-wheeler up and over the Grapevine at 3:00 am on an early Tuesday morning. And I ain't gonna go into how important ALL these men have been in the continual development of hard 'n' heavy rock over the past decade. Just go now and grab the first record you see with ANY of these guys names on it, and find out for yourself. Or better still, go order a meal and a beer at Mario's Sierra Madre restaurant, Cafe 322, and ask him to throw on the last FATSO JETSON CD. There's no way you won't be leaving a really, really big tip.
4. PUTTANESCA – "Shiny Red Box" (from their Puttanesca CD, Catasonic Records, 2006) It's Joe Baiza's MECOLODIACS + singer Weba Garretson (ex-PEARLS, Eastside Sinfonietta, etc.), and to these ears it's a total mismatch. I mean, here's Joe and co. tearing at strings & skins in really inspired, JAMES BLOOD ULMER goes south-of-the-border fashion, and then: Weba swoops in from the winebar with her NPR jazz croonerisms and basically kills any possibility of attaining nirvana. She seems so caught up with getting the changes right and sounding sultry that what's lost is the fact that the boys are groovin' on a whole looser, more intuitive plane altogether. Maybe Joe will consider issuing a vocal-less remix of this? I'd recommend that version, fr sure.
5. JOE & MIKE – "Everywhere" (From Joe & Mike, private press, 2003, available from THE LAST website) Largely-acoustic CD-R by the Nolte brothers revisiting lost tunes never waxed by THE LAST proper. And it's as great as any legit LAST record you might wanna point to. I realize these guys' strident vocal harmonies have always been a bit of an acquired sound, especially to shaggy 60's folkrock heads who want their vocalists to sound all soft, mellow n furry ala RAIN PARADE's David Roback. But I can name 3 dozen great sixties pop/rock acts who had singers who didn't sound particularly soft – think Arthur Lee in early LOVE, or Sal Valentino in THE BEAU BRUMMELS, or even Rob Grill of THE GRASS ROOTS – and THE LAST have always swam a similiar course. Don't ignore the significance of these men! They practically began the entire South Bay independent music scene in mid/late 70's, they were a huge influence on a PANIC-era Greg Ginn when he was first scheming to putting out his own records, and they jumpstarted THE DESCENDENTS (in whose early songs I can identify dozens of little LASTisms). These guys still ring true, 30 fucking years on.
6. THE NEW ROB ROBBIES – "Pot au Feu" (from Pure Whore, Owned & Operated Records, 1999) Aggro, fullfrontal rock from Chicago, IL by-way-of Bowling Green, OH, and produced by Joe Carducci and ALL/DESCENDENTS drummer Bill Stevenson. At times it reminds me of an amped up version of a "Neil Armstrong"-era ANGST – but that's probably because singer/songwriter Paul Johnson's lyrics stick in similarly warm places within my head, glued as the are to really inspired playing and post-punk folkrockin' songstuff. There's this rambling webpage with tons of obscure tunage by Paul, charting his progression from the REPLACEMENTSish (but totally listenable) college rock of his earlier SHEEPISH GRIN project, to the more firebreathing attack of THE NEW ROBS. Though this is a bit older now, it still gets loaded onto my I-Pod fairly frequently, and sounded totally fresh and pipin' hot on my earbuds earlier today in fact. Go find a cheap cutout of this and you, too, will find yourself wondering how many other great bands like this one you missed out on the first time around.
7. TOM WATSON – "Future History" (from Country & Watson, Leiterwagen/ Theologian Records, 2000) One could go on and on about guys with post-SST solo careers (Rollins, Watt, Mould, Mascis etc.), and one day I promise to provide you with an EZ listener's guide to safely navigating the hairy world of Greg Ginn's post-FLAG projects! But today, all I'm gonna talk about is Tom. Tom's from the Manhattan/Hermosa Beach area, and came up playing first with TOXIC SHOCK (who donated the standout track to the Keats Rides a Harley comp. from '81), then SLOVENLY PETER/SLOVENLY (who had a gaggle of monumental recs on SST/New Alliance), and eventually OVERPASS (2 records, the second being a classic). You can read a bit about his early days here; currently he's playing with Mike Watt in THE MISSINGMEN, opening for dorks like THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS all across Europe. This record was initially only available in Europe until Mark Theodore at Theologian (a long-time fan of all that jammy/jazzy late 80's SST stuff) sought fit to put it out stateside. Great call, Mark. It's a quiet, homemade record full of sweet melodies, nice gtr playing and a whole lotta oddball, creaking and croaking sound-debris that places it squarely in Tom's sonic lineage.
Bonus: an ex-roommate, once highschool gal-pal of mine plays my old bass gtr on one live cut on this CD! 7 years later, and I'm still jealous that wasn't me.

I'm trying to be as constructive as possible without really having enough knowledge about web design but I do know wordpress especially is ridiculously easy to do (not sure how easy it is to make it run in conjunction with the already existing forums though).
Mainly I think the front page should just be very clean and crisp and defined. Once the front end is there, getting regular content up will be great and people will be inspired to create even better stuff for such a pimp looking site, which in turn will reach greater and greater audiences.
We all know knicksonline.com is without doubt the best Knicks website on the whole internet which is pretty damn spectacular given that it's basically just a forum. Add on some gloss around it and you could have something real special.
Let me just say that i don't like the way the homepage looks either. It's not something that i'm proud of. Not because of the design (which i personally like) but because of the too many outdates that makes it look extremely silly. I had something in mind when we took it to this version but it appeared to be more than i could handle.
The future of the KO website will be a plain simple wordpress site where you can read your daily headlines so you don't have to browse to all the newspapers looking for Knicks news, with a spot where anyone can throw a blog entry and some forum recommendations. A simple schedule & roster list and probably (in time) a place to find any stats you want from the beginning of this franchise.
In the meantime i leave you with Starks' blog entries while i collect today's headlines.
PS: you don't even have to go to the main site to see if any updates are available. There's the News and Headlines box on the top that helps you with that
We know you'll get it done, Rady. All in good time. The preview you gave me grows on me every time I look at it, and it'll look all the better in O&B.
Plenty of cool features on there as well.
I believe changing the news and headlines to reflect current blogs/articles is
a major improvement towards updating: out with the old, in with the new.
I hope you don't do change the site too much just to appease the few.
I've grown accustomed to it the way it is, and like it just fine. IMHO.
You got it....
I've joined even though I have lurked for quite sometime....I'll try to be more active and post in the threads...nice to have a place to talk about the greatness be witnessed in the Orange and Blue this season so far....
The point being when someone visits the site for the first time and sees articles, box scores and news that are two years out of date, a lot of people will immediately just click off and go elsewhere because it doesn't look like an active website. That seems to have been the case for quite a while on the front page.
KO isn't for the weak hearted you gotta bring substance and knowledge to fit in and not just post a bunch of stats like realgm for example
While there is always room for improvement, KO is definitely the best NYK fan forum online IMO and Im happy to be a member myself.
Sent from my LG-P999
I've been lurking for two years and have read all the criticism, rumors, fits of rage and meltdowns when we was the team in the league that other teams Stepped On and then over. So I signed up recently just to see links and images. Granted I don't look at any other pages in this forum since I'm not seeking peas and carrots but THAT MEAT!. I seep out so much Orange and Blue that I am The Blue Man Group lost member cause of the Orange. as far as a new user perspective the glitz wouldn't matter to me just keeping the forum post simple is good enough.

If You're Going To Illegally Seize Citizens' Cell Phones, At Least Make Sure You're Grabbing The Right Ones
from the all-officers-involved-are-ordered-to-attend-'Remedial-Rights-Infringement dept
When cops behave badly, many suddenly develop an acute case of unconstitutional stage fright, often resulting in the immediate confiscation of any cameras/cell phones in the vicinity. If it's going to come down to "our word against yours," it helps immensely to have any contradictory "words" spirited away by Narrative Control, a branch of law enforcement that handles all cop "publicity rights," as well as providing new interpretations and reimaginings of existing statutes.
Sometimes it works. The offending footage vanishes into the ether, resulting in a narrative standoff between the Upstanding (if Overenthusiastic) Officer of the Law and the Obviously Crazy and Dangerous Person Who Should Really Be Doing a Little Hard Time.
Other times, the smash-and-grab fails, and the citizens retain their footage, providing a more rounded narration that often reverses the roles. (Upstanding [if Overenthusiastic] Citizen v. Obviously Crazy and Dangerous Law Enforcement Officer Who Really Shouldn't be Allowed to Abuse Anything Other Than a Demeaning Desk Job.)
Sometimes, though, the (attempted) confiscation of offending footage results in a surprising amount of schadenfreude. These moments occur altogether too infrequently, but when they do, a good time is had by all not attempting to confiscate damning footage.
First off, via Photography is not a Crime, comes the brief but surprisingly satisfying story of bullying tactics backfiring.
New York City police officers arrested a woman who was video recording them from a public sidewalk as they conducted some type of "vehicle safety checkpoint."
The officers apparently stole a memory card from a camera, which turned out to be the wrong one, allowing us to view the video.
In the Youtube description, under the headline, "You stole the wrong SD card," Christina Gonzalez said her boyfriend was also arrested.
"We were arrested while filming an NYPD checkpoint on a bridge between a soon to be gentrified Bronx and a quickly gentrifying Harlem. We were charged with OGA, DisCon, and resisting arrest. I was holding a bag of yarn in one hand and a canvas in the other. My partner had food in his hands when he was tackled. Even though their violent actions were unjust, we did not resist. Simultaneous with our "arrests", the checkpoint was closed down.
We were held for 25 hours."
If you'll notice, both principals were charged with OGA (Obstructing Governmental Administration), in addition to the usual cop standbys, disorderly conduct and (of course) resisting arrest. The thing is, they weren't obstructing anything, at least not according to the NYPD's own Patrol Guide.
a. A person remaining in the vicinity of a stop or arrest shall not be subject to arrest for Obstructing Governmental Administration (Penal Law, Section 195.05) unless the officer has probable cause to believe the person or persons are obstructing governmental administration.Even if they were doing all of the above, it still wouldn't add up to OGA. So, that's a BS charge, as is the "resisting arrest," but the latter seems to be tacked on to any arrest that occurs without any real crime being committed. It's an offshoot of "contempt of cop, " which basically means that not immediately shutting up and doing what you're told is the same as resisting arrest.
b. None of the following constitutes probable cause for arrest or detention of an onlooker unless the safety of officers or other persons is directly endangered or the officer reasonably believes they are endangered or the law is otherwise violated:
(1) Speech alone, even though crude and vulgar
(2) Requesting and making notes of shield numbers or names of officers
(3) Taking photographs, videotapes or tape recordings
(4) Remaining in the vicinity of the stop or arrest
Among all the fake crimes, a real crime did take place -- an NYPD officer (allegedly) stole a memory card, most likely in hopes of "detaining" the offending footage permanently. But he grabbed the wrong one and now the actions of these officers is on public display and spreading around the web.
That's illegal seizure FAIL #1. The second story comes courtesy of a lawsuit filed against the Galveston (Texas) police department. It starts out ordinarily enough. (Sidebar: there's something horribly wrong with the system if I can state something is "ordinary" and have it contain the following events.)
Jarrett Anthony Neu sued Galveston in Federal Court.Someone should get rid of that "less-than-lethal" modifier attached to "Taser." It's been proven multiple times that it can be lethal, if deployed against a person with the "right" ailments or simply deployed repeatedly until the arrestee has sufficiently "stopped resisting." (In these cases, the word "resisting" is often interchangeable with the word "breathing.")
Neu claims that Galveston police arrested him at 4:45 p.m. on March 11, without a warrant, at a Galveston apartment complex. He claims they lied about it in the police report. He claims they subjected him not only to threats, intimidation, insult and humiliation, but severe and cruel physical abuse and punishment by both physical beating and the repeated unnecessary and unwarranted deployment of a less-than-lethal Taser weapon on plaintiff. Plaintiff, who suffers from a pre-existing cardiac ailment, suffered permanent and debilitating injuries as well as permanent disfigurement and scarring at the hands of these police officers.
At some point during this "exchange of viewpoints" (or whatever the correct PD terminology is), the police noticed an impartial observer was recording the whole thing for posterity. So, they made the usual move to responsibly collect all evidence, especially the damning kind.
During this police administered beating, officers realized that a citizen was filming the beating via cell phone and the officers involved without a legal reason seized (the wrong) cell phone.E for effort, guys. You almost had it. And without a warrant! Now, the Galveston PD has a cell phone, but the plaintiff's lawyer has the cell phone.
Counsel for plaintiff has the cell phone that recorded the beating.It would be nice to think the Galveston PD is kicking themselves for blowing a simple, illegal seizure of someone's phone, but if the plaintiff's story is anything to go by, they're probably kicking someone else.

Consumer Alert: Medicare Prescription Drug Annual Enrollment; (Nov-2009)
|Changes Force Some Seniors to Choose New Policies
Seniors receiving Social Security benefits will not receive a cost-of-living-adjustment in the coming year, so it is more important than ever to make sure your Medicare prescription plan is the best for your budget and your needs. Also this year, some plans have chosen not to renew their contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), meaning some seniors may be forced to choose a new option. During open enrollment for Medicare prescription drug coverage - Nov. 15 to Dec. 31, 2009 - the Massachusetts Division of Insurance offers this information to help you get smart about your insurance options.
|What are my options if I want Medicare prescription drug coverage?
You can enroll in a stand-alone Medicare prescription drug plan if you have original (traditional) Medicare; or, you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan (which replaces original Medicare) that includes prescription drug coverage. Private insurance companies sell Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans approved by Medicare. Everyone with Medicare is eligible to enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage regardless of income or assets, and coverage is voluntary.
|What do I need to consider when choosing a plan?
Compare plans and select the one that best meets your individual needs:
|What if I am already enrolled in a Medicare prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan with prescription drug coverage?
Plan features might change from year to year. Carefully examine all available plans during the annual enrollment period because your current plan may no longer best meet your needs. Review the features of your plan, including the list of drugs covered, the list of participating pharmacies, the premium, the deductible, the cost-sharing requirements, the provider network and any coverage gaps.
You do not need to do anything to remain in your current plan. If you enroll in a new plan or make changes to your current plan during the annual open enrollment period, your new coverage begins Jan. 1, 2010. You should continue to pay premium for your old coverage through Dec. 31, 2009.
|What if I already have other prescription drug coverage?
A Medicare prescription drug plan might provide more coverage than a Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap) policy or your current employer-provided prescription drug coverage. If Medicare considers your existing coverage to be "creditable" - meaning, coverage that is as good as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage benefit - you are permitted to keep your current coverage without incurring future penalties. However, if you do not enroll in a Medicare drug plan when you are first eligible for Medicare, and you do not have other creditable prescription drug coverage, you may be subject to a penalty if you decide to enroll at a later time. Check with your employer or Medigap plan before dropping an employer-provided prescription drug coverage or Medigap plan because you may not be able to get it back.
|What if I am enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that is not renewing for 2010?
Certain Medicare Advantage plans - including some with prescription drug coverage - have chosen not to renew their contracts with CMS for 2010. If you have received notice that your plan will not renew in 2010, you should have received information about your options for selecting a new Medicare Advantage plan or returning to original Medicare. If you return to original Medicare, you can still apply for Medicare prescription drug coverage and/or Medicare supplement (Medigap) coverage.
|Marketing Rules
State and federal rules are in place to protect consumers against abuses in the marketing and sales of Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans. Individuals who contact you about any type of private Medicare coverage must follow certain rules:
Legitimate Sales Agents:
|Medicare Fraud
Unfortunately, not everyone who contacts you about switching to a Medicare drug plan has the best intentions. To protect yourself from scam artists intent on taking advantage of your situation, here are some additional tips to avoid becoming a victim:
|Beware of Door-to-Door Sales People Remember, agents cannot solicit business at your home without an appointment. Do not allow uninvited agents into your home.
Beware of Internet Sales Legitimate plans cannot ask for payment over the Internet. They must send you a bill.
|Do Not Give Out Personal Information Examples include Social Security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers to anyone you have not verified as a licensed agent. People are not allowed to request such personal information in their marketing activities. Once you decide to purchase a plan and have verified that the agent is licensed, you may give the agent personal information to assist in enrollment and billing. Verify the Plan
Verify that the plan you have chosen is an approved Medicare plan. All of the approved plans are available at www.medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
|More Information
Federal assistance with premiums is available to Medicare beneficiaries who meet certain income requirements. If you think you may qualify, call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-SSA-1213 (1-800-772-1213). Medicare beneficiaries may seek assistance in reviewing options for coverage by contacting a SHINE (Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders) counselor at 1-800-AGE-INFO (1-800-243-4636). For more information about your Medicare prescription drug options including an online Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder, go to www.medicare.gov.

Supervolcanoes once erupted on Mars
Giant eruptions billions of years ago left behind huge craters
Arizona State University, GSFC and JPL/NASA
Lava-spewing supervolcanoes ripped through Mars' dusty red surface billions of years ago, a new analysis suggests.
Scientists have identified Martian volcanoes before, but none as violently explosive as the ones Joseph Michalski of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson and Jacob Bleacher of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., report in the Oct. 3 Nature. "What we're looking at is a very different beast," says Bleacher.
When supervolcanoes erupt, they blow their lids completely, ejecting massive amounts of molten rock. Instead of leaving behind mountains of rubble, supervolcano explosions gouge giant craters into a planet's surface. Because asteroid craters also pockmark Mars, scientists had assumed most of the pits were caused by impacts.
But some craters looked suspicious: They lacked typical impact signatures and were surrounded by ridges of

Mobile and ICT patents transform our everyday lives
Innovations in cellular technology have opened us up to new digital experiences: 2G allowed us to have better conversations, 3G enabled us to surf the web, and 4G has given us seamless video streaming.
5G is now taking us to the next level and closer towards our vision of the networked society. It will bring rich video content with zero waiting times, immersive VR experiences and a whole range of exciting IoT services – in this connected world, anything is possible.
To continue innovating, we need to invest in the visionaries. Ericsson supports licensing under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms which remunerates companies with patent royalties. This enables them to re-invest in future developments, from cellular technology to incredible new advances in video encoding and location-based services. It means that the fruits of early and fundamental research are contributed back to the ecosystem, which leads to technology standards being established for generations to come.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - A new website, the Broward Bugle, is reporting extensively on the Broward Sheriff's Office, always in glowing terms about the new sheriff, Scott Israel. But is it a legitimate news source or just political propaganda?
The Broward Bugle bills itself as "your new source for political and governmental news." But it began as a campaign site for Israel, reporting glowingly about him while slamming his opponent, former Sheriff Al Lamberti. And its "staff writers" use fake names and its "publisher" goes by George "Gabby" Hayes, a gag on the offbeat Western film actor.
Sources tell Local 10 that Roger Stone, who strongly supported Israel and involved in behind-the-scenes PACs that funded negative ads against Lamberti in the race, is behind the website. In an email, Stone admitted he had "influence" over the website but said he doesn't own it.
Stone began his career as a dirty trickster for Richard Nixon and more recently served as the political director for now-imprisoned Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. He is close with Israel's campaign strategist Ron Gunzburger, whom Israel appointed as BSO general counsel and who had a hand in some of the early Bugle pieces.
Israel, who has been interviewed repeatedly by Bugle "reporters," said he had no direct connection to the website and claimed he wasn't aware that it was used as a tool by his campaign supporters. He said he may have spoken with Stone about the Bugle in the past but always considered it a legitimate news outlet.
"If fake names are being used, then red flags are going up and it's something we will need to look into," said Israel.
Whatever the truth behind the Bugle, Nova Southeastern University law professor Bob Jarvis, who has co-authored a book about the history of BSO, said past sheriffs and their supporters have a history of trying to manipulate the media.
"Because at the end of the day, they are political animals who have to run for reelection," said Jarvis.
