ProFootballTalk: One-on-one with Matt Forte
Strange video apparently of Aldon Smith emerges
Not many players who are permanently banished from the league with the ability to apply for reinstatement after one year ever get reinstated. Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith seems to be on track to be among the likes of Justin Blackmon and Darryl Washington.
Via CSNBayArea.com, a video has emerged that appears to include Smith, a hand-rolled cigarette, and a conversation regarding whether it's wise for him to be making such a video for posting on the Internet.
Easy answer: It's not wise.
It's still not entirely clear that Smith is the person in the video, but it sure seems that he is. And if Smith is doing things so clearly ill-advised that for the public eye, it's fair to wonder whether and to what extent he's doing other ill-advised things not for the public eye when it comes to the specific things he's supposed to be doing and not be doing in order to satisfy the terms of the plan devised for him by the medical review officer responsible for Smith's compliance with the substance-abuse policy.
Smith at one point was one of the most dominant young pass rushers in the NFL, after becoming the seventh overall pick in the 2011 draft. A string of legal issues and suspensions have left him on the outside looking in, and he may never get back on the inside again.
Seahawks extend John Schneider
Seahawks fans can stop worrying. And executives with other teams can stop coveting the G.M. job in Seattle.
John Clayton of ESPN.com reports that the Seahawks have reached an agreement on a new contract with G.M. John Schneider. The deal will make him one of the highest-paid General Managers in football.
Per the report, the contract is "expected to approach" the $3.75 million earned by Baltimore's Ozzie Newsome, which is believed to be the maximum salary for any NFL General Manager. (This overlooks the coaches with de facto personnel power, like Bill Belichick of the Patriots, whose salary is a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a series of non-responsive grunts.)
Schneider previously was believed to be targeting $4 million per year as he entered the final year of his contract. The compromise gives him security for some period of time beyond 2016. Clayton's report, however, doesn't mention the length of the extension.
The next step, per Clayton, is expected to be an extension for coach Pete Carroll, who also is under contract through 2016.
UPDATE 11:40 p.m. ET: It's official, according to the guy who'll be writing the checks.
J.J. Watt says he'll be back on the field "very soon"
With plenty of conflicting reports (some from the same media company) regarding whether Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will miss six weeks or eight weeks or 10 weeks or more after undergoing back surgery, Watt himself has chimed in, albeit with a vague assessment of his expected return date.
Watt, in a handwritten note to fans photographed and posted on Twitter, concludes with this message: "See you on the field very soon."
It's a nice gesture from Watt, who seems to be applying his own unique spin to Peyton Manning's habit of writing handwritten notes. And at a time when it's become popular to give Watt grief (I've done my share of it), I need to repeat something I said Friday on the radio in Houston: We get numb to the fact that football players have surgery, because so many of them have it. But any surgery — even "minor" surgery — is a big deal. The human body is being opened up, with delicate, precise repairs made to key components of it.
Surgery entails a risk of infection or other complications. It entails a risk the surgery simply won't fix the problem. It often entails a recovery process featuring pain, discomfort, and the inability to do things that the player would like to do, including practicing and playing football.
We want these guys to entertain us. We often don't think of them as real people who go through the same real crap the rest of us do. When it comes to invasive medical procedures, they're far different from the rest of us; surgery happens to them a lot more often than it happens to most of us.
Cowboys bus involved in crash that claims four lives
The multi-million-dollar bus belonging to the Dallas Cowboys has been involved in an accident in Arizona. While no one on the Cowboys bus was seriously injured, law enforcement officials along with multiple reports indicate that more than one fatality occurred in another vehicle.
The van and the bus were the only vehicles involved in the accident.
Via LasVegasNow.com, the bus was traveling from Texas to Las Vegas for a fan event. The bus then was due to go to Oxnard, California for training camp.
Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times reports that four people in the van died.
According to KTNV.com, officials said the collision occurred as the driver of the van was making an illegal turn onto U.S. 93.
Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple told ABC News that only staff members were on the bus, and that they sustained "bumps and bruises."

Patriots sign Vinnie Sunseri, Kyler Kerbyson
The New England Patriots announced the signings of safety Vinnie Sunseri and offensive lineman Kyler Kerbyson on Sunday.
Sunseri was a fifth-round selection by the New Orleans Saints in 2014. He appeared in nine games for New Orleans before being released by the Saints in April. He recorded five tackles – four on special teams, one on defense – before an arm injury landed him on injured reserve.
A knee injury last year led the Saints to waive Sunseri and he spent all of last season on injured reserve after clearing waivers.
Kerbyson went undrafted after starting two seasons at the University of Tennessee. He's played both tackle positions and left guard during his tenure with Tennessee.
After the signings, the Patriots still have one open spot on their 90-man roster.
IK Enemkpali could become a starter on the Buffalo defense
A year after IK Enemkpali broke Geno Smith's jaw while they were teammates, Enemkpali may be taking aim at him in a more traditional sense.
With Smith possibly slated to start for the Jets, who stubbornly refuse to sweeten the pot for Ryan Fitzpatrick, Enemkpali eventually could become a regular — if not a starter — for the Buffalo defense.
As explained by Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News, the departure of Mario Williams coupled with the shoulder injury to first-round rookie Shaq Lawson has created an opening for Enemkpali, who needs only to outshine Manny Lawson to earn a starting role.
"IK's done really well," coach Rex Ryan said during the offseason program. "We're bumping guys around and stuff but, yeah, he'll have a chance. IK is a physical player. He's doing a much better job in his pass-coverage responsibility. So I could definitely see him pushing for playing time, without question."
Enemkpali may not even need to beat out Manny Lawson, if Ryan decides Manny Lawson is needed elsewhere. Wherever and how much they play, guys like Manny Lawson and Jerry Hughes and other pre-2015 defenders have learned Ryan's defense far better than they knew it a year ago.
"Last year, there'd be silence and a lot of questions asked in the locker room," Manny Lawson said, via Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News. "This year, there's not silence in the meeting room and no questions being asked in the locker room."
But that doesn't mean questions are discouraged.
"If you don't know something, ask," Lawson said. "Because it's only going to help us to know. If one person is out there clueless and doesn't know what to do, that can be a touchdown for us on the defensive side and that can cost us the game."
A game blown here or there could be the difference between a postseason berth and yet another failure to make the playoffs. With a failure to make the playoffs this year quite possibly the catalyst for a house cleaning, the players have every reason to do everything they can to know the defense and to execute it as it's designed.
Darnell Dockett expected to announce his retirement on Monday
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has not played in a regular season game since the 2013 season and the longtime Cardinal is reportedly set to draw a permanent end to his playing career.
Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports that Dockett is expected to announce his retirement on Monday. Dockett tore his ACL before the 2014 season and was released by the 49ers after signing with Arizona's NFC West as a free agent last offseason.
If Dockett is indeed done, he'll end his career having played only for the Cardinals in the regular season. The 2004 third-round pick played 158 games and made 156 starts over the course of his 10-year career in Arizona and ranks seventh in franchise history with 40.5 sacks. He added three more sacks during the team's loss to the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII, tying a record set by Reggie White that was equaled this February by Panthers defensive end Kony Ealy.
Dockett was selected to three Pro Bowls and was named to the Associated Press' All-Pro second-team after the 2009 season.
Lions place Brandon Pettigrew, two others on PUP list
With training camp about to start, the Lions are taking stock of which players on their roster aren't quite ready to start practicing.
Tight end Brandon Pettigrew is on that list and the Lions announced Sunday that he has been placed on the physically unable to perform list. Pettigrew tore his ACL in December and General Manager Bob Quinn said last month that the veteran wouldn't be ready for the start of camp.
Pettigrew won't be able to practice with the team until he's activated from the list. Given the timing of the injury, he could be a candidate for the regular season version of the PUP list and would miss at least six weeks of the year if that's the case.
The Lions also placed wide receiver Corey Fuller, who had foot surgery, and tackle Corey Robinson on the PUP list as well. Running back Ameer Abdullah is not on the list after having shoulder surgery early in the offseason.
Rick Spielman calls out those who bash Teddy Bridgewater
Friday's PFT Live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis included a visit from the guy who built not the team's new house but the team that will play there. And G.M. Rick Spielman talked at some length about the first-round quarterback who enters his third NFL season.
At a time when teammates rave about Teddy Bridgewater ("growth" was the most common word used by players we interviewed), some believe Bridgewater won't become a franchise quarterback, pointing to the fact that he threw only 14 touchdowns passes in 2014 and only 14 again in 2015.
Spielman called criticism of Bridgewater "unfair," explaining that "he is doing what our coaches are asking him to do."
"One thing Coach Zimmer does preach to all our players is team first and however we're going to have to win this game this week," Spielman said. "If we're going to have to run the ball 30 times, that's what we're going to do. If we have to throw the ball, that's what we're going to do. If we're going to have to play good defense and ball control, whatever we have to do to win this week, that's the most important thing. Teddy going into his second year last year, to go 11-5 and win the division, to go up there and beat Green Bay in Green Bay [for the NFC North title] and then play well in that playoff game against Seattle. I think people undervalue what Teddy brings to this football team, and the most important thing is when you look at the end of the day is wins and losses and Teddy is definitely a winner."
When called upon to move the offense late in games, Bridgewater has done that on several occasions. And if Blair Walsh hadn't missed a chip-shot field goal at the end of the wild-card game against the Seahawks, Bridgewater would have been heralded for setting up the victory by slicing through one of the best defenses in the league.
"There are games if you go through his first two years that he has shown he does have the ability in pressure situations to come through when we need him to make some plays," Spielman said. "I think he had the least amount of pass attempts last year in the NFL as well, so a lot of that has to do with the game planning and how we're going to win football games. But I don't think anyone in our building has any doubt that if we have Teddy throw the ball 40 or 50 times, if that's the way we have to win or if he has to go out there and throw the ball at the end of the game for us to win that he has that ability to do that."
He may end up with plenty of chances to do that in 2016, on a national stage. With four prime-time games, a Thanksgiving game, and several other high-profile Sunday afternoon matchups (Panthers, Texans, Cardinals, Packers), whatever Bridgewater does this year will be noticed a lot more than it was in past years.
Who's left? Exploring the remaining free agents
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing golf. Without a contract, he's not going to training camp this week.
Fitzpatrick hasn't said much about his situation, and the Jets basically issued a gag order six weeks ago. So, we'll see what happens with camp starting and teams across the league getting back to work.
PFT has put together a list of other players who are still unsigned as camps open. Most of them are older players who might wait until the regular season begins or end up atop the emergency call list various player personnel departments keep as they shuffle their 90-man camp rosters and deal with various injuries and situations. Past Fitzpatrick, who's clearly the most intriguing unsigned player, the players are listed in no particular order…
Fitzpatrick – His staredown with the Jets continues. It could get really interesting if Geno Smith has a great start to camp or if some other team that believes it's a contender loses its quarterback to injury in August.
Dwight Freeney – He's made a few visits and figures to eventually have some real suitors given how well (eight sacks in 11 games) he played last season for the Cardinals. Waiting last year seemed to work, so Freeney, 36, probably will have no problem being patient as he awaits a call and a chance to play a 15th season.
Greg Hardy – Hardy brings baggage, but lots of teams are looking for pass rushers. He recently visited the Jaguars, but reports say no signing is imminent. A team would have to be convinced that Hardy can still be an impact player before taking him on.
Anquan Boldin – Boldin is 35, but it's not like he was ever a speed burner. He knows how to get open and how to catch passes in traffic, and he'll eventually land with a team that wants him to play in the slot and help keep the chains moving.
Omar Bolden – While most players on this list are on the wrong side of 30, Bolden is 27. He signed with the Bears in March but was cut last week. Bolden can help in the return game as well as playing as a backup defensive back, and he probably won't be unemployed for long.
Brian Hartline – Released by the Browns in the spring, Hartline had a productive 2015 before an injury ended his season. He's not going to be a starter, but like Boldin he's probably near the top of the call list for teams who either lose a receiver in camp or are looking to upgrade the slot position.
Antonio Cromartie – He's 32, but he's missed very few starts over his 10-year career and has generally been around the ball. He went without an interception in 15 starts last season, so teams might be wondering if he can still keep up.
Michael Vick – After subbing with the Steelers last season, Vick recently has been campaigning for a job and saying he'd like to play one more season. He signed during camp last summer, and it would likely be a similar scenario this time around if he's going to land with a team.
John Kuhn – The longtime Packers fullback has said he's confident he'll get a call soon, even if it's not from the Packers.
Mike Neal – It's surprising that Neal, who just turned 29, remains unemployed given that he had four sacks for the Packers last year, has starting experience and can play both defensive end and outside linebacker.
Leon Hall – The former first-rounder and longtime Bengals cornerback has taken some visits but has not yet found a home. If Hall, 31, doesn't return to the Bengals, look for him to sign with another contender and play as a third or fourth cornerback.
Percy Harvin – Harvin reportedly has chosen retirement and doesn't plan to play in 2016, but there's never been much predictable about Harvin.
Joique Bell – If Bell is healthy, he can contribute in some team's running back rotation. Given his injury history, it might be a while before a team gives him a call.
Donte Whitner – The Browns released Whitner after the start of free agency. He's 31 and didn't have a strong 2015 season, but he was good in 2014 for the Browns. He's likely atop the emergency call list of many teams if a need at strong safety arises.
Randy Starks – Like Whitner, Starks was released by the Browns in the offseason. Starks, 32, had a quiet season on a bad team last year, but his ability to rush the passer and play multiple positions across the defensive line make him an attractive target for a team that decides it wants to boost its depth.
Stephen Tulloch – Finally released by the Lions earlier this month, Tulloch, 31, figures to be on the call list of a few teams if a need at inside linebacker arises — and if Tulloch is healthy.
Roddy White – His breakup with the Falcons came as no surprise. White will turn 35 in November, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see a team give him a look in late August or early September.
James Jones – Jones ended up playing a pretty important role for the Packers last season. It's no surprise that the team is going young at wide receiver, but Jones, 32, will eventually get a call from some team.
Andre Johnson – He's 35, but remains hopeful some team will give him a shot.
Lack of Brees negotiations not a surprise
Saints quarterback Drew Brees apparently needs an explanation regarding why he hasn't heard from the team in the last three months regarding a new contract. In the event he really doesn't know (and chances are he does), the reason is simple: It's a deadline-driven business, and Brees made it clear several months ago that the deadline is the start of the regular season.
With the Saints carrying the quarterback's $30 million cap number deep into the offseason, through all acquisitions and draft picks and other moves that would have been made easier with the extra cap space that a new Brees deal would have created, there's currently no urgency from the team's perspective to do a new contract now. As Week One approaches, there will be.
The urgency will be there because Brees has said he won't be talking once the season starts. It's the same approach he applied four years ago, as Brees entered the final season of his initial six-year, $60 million deal.
But now that his five-year, $100 million deal is concluding, Brees has plenty of leverage. With a cap number of $30 million this year and in light of the grievance filed by Brees in 2012 regarding the stacking of franchise tags used by multiple teams, a tag of Brees in 2017 would be the third of his career — and it would entitle him to a 44-percent raise over his 2016 cap number.
That's $43.2 million. For one year. For a quarterback who turns 38 in January.
If the Saints opt not to devote what would be, if the cap grows to $165 million in 2017, more than 26 percent of the total available space to one player, then the market will determine Brees' value. The question then becomes whether another team that has all the pieces except a quarterback (e.g., the Broncos or maybe the Jets or perhaps the Cardinals, depending on how Carson Palmer performs this year) would put together an offer that the Saints can't or won't match.
Even if the Saints could or would match, there's nothing that would keep Brees from taking the same or less elsewhere, if that's what he chooses to do.
Brees and the Saints understand these issues, and both sides know when the clock strikes 12. If nothing happens by then, nothing likely will happen until after the season. At that point, plenty of things could happen.
Andrew Luck: It was an "awesome, gutsy move" to keep Pagano, Grigson
There wasn't much that went right for the Colts last season, but that didn't lead to the sweeping changes that some expected during the offseason.
Coach Chuck Pagano and General Manager Ryan Grigson remain in their jobs and have contracts running for several seasons after a year that saw internal sniping while the Colts slipped down the standings. It was a decision that came as a surprise to quarterback Andrew Luck and his agreement on a big extension of his own shows that it was a pleasant one.
"I think [owner Jim] Irsay showed a lot of guts keeping coach Pagano and Ryan," Luck said, via Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star. "I think the easy thing is to start all over, I really do. I think that was an awesome, gutsy move. I think it surprised me, but then again, I think any decision would've surprised me."
While the Colts opted for the status quo with Pagano and Grigson, they did hire a new defensive coordinator and acquire a handful of new offensive linemen in hopes of strengthening two of the weakest parts of the team. If those moves don't have the desired effect, awesome and gutsy may not be the most frequent adjectives used to describe Irsay's call to stick with what's on hand.
The Saints are still coming to West Virginia
After devastating flooding struck last month in West Virginia, forcing the cancellation of a PGA tour event held annually at The Greenbrier, questions emerged regarding whether the Saints would still be able to hold training camp there. One report indicated that the Saints would stay in Louisiana. That report ended up being inaccurate.
The Saints are coming back this week, and that's a good thing for those who need the financial and emotional lift that will come from the team not turning its back on an area that is still slowly recovering from a disaster that claimed more than 20 lives and displaced hundreds from their homes.
Much still needs to be done to get things back to normal. PFT readers can still drop a few bucks into the kettle via a Go Fund Me page established by the West Virginia Secondary Schools Athletic Commission. The proceeds will replace football gear and other sports equipment lost by various high schools and middle schools due to the water and the mud and the overall nasty crap that makes make the five-letter "F" word far worse than the four-letter one.
PFT has contributed $7,500 directly to the WVSSAC, which we mention not as a way to pat ourselves on the back but as the catalyst for jostling as many of you as possible into coughing up $5 here or $10 there or, for the one-percenters in the crowd maybe even a little, or a lot, more than that.
Apart from a spare-change-style donation, you soon will have a chance to bid on an NBC Sports Radio helmet signed by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (a very nice gesture by him) and others at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. Here's Aaron sinking a long putt from the rough and sharing a chest bump with Brian Baumgartner, better known by many as Kevin Malone from The Office.
Fortunately, Kevin Malone won't be involved in counting the money that eventually is generated by the efforts to replenish the sports gear for kids in the areas affected by the flooding.
Eagles re-signing QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson
Meet the new Eagles camp arm. Same as the old Eagles camp arm.
Quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, who was cut by the Eagles in May, is expected to re-sign with the team, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
Bethel-Thompson is used to coming and going in his football career. He started college at UCLA and finished it at Sacramento State, and has had three different stints with the 49ers, two with the Dolphins, two with the Vikings, one with the Patriots, one with the San Jose SaberCats of Arena Football and one with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. Overall, he's been cut nine times. Now he'll begin his second stint with the Eagles.
There is almost no chance of Bethel-Thompson actually making the 53-player roster, as Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz have the three quarterback spots locked up.
Alex Boone predicts Blaine Gabbert will start over Colin Kaepernick
As the 2016 regular season approaches, a move that would have seemed highly irregular a year ago now seems inevitable. When the 49ers open things up in Week One against the Rams, the quarterback will be Blaine Gabbert not Colin Kaepernick.
A guy who spent six seasons with the 49ers, including a 2015 campaign that resulted in Kaepernick being benched for Gabbert, believes Gabbert will win the job in the first year with Chip Kelly as the head coach.
"To be honest I think that Blaine did a great job last year," new Vikings guard Alex Boone told me from the field at U.S. Bank Stadium on Thursday, "and from what I know of Blaine, I think he's probably gonna take the reins. I mean I think he's a good guy, he knows what he's doing out there, and he just has the support of the group so I think that's one of the things to look forward to."
If/when (when) Gabbert starts against the Rams, he won't have Boone around to protect the quarterback against a chippy L.A. Rams defense that last year infuriated Vikings coach Mike Zimmer with lows hits on quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Although Boone declined to call the Rams defense dirty, he vowed to ensure that neither the Rams nor anyone else will be taking cheap shots at his quarterback.
That's part of the mindset Zimmer wants in his offensive linemen, and the hope is that Boone's attitude will spread to the rest of the offensive linemen. If it works, the Vikings' biggest weakness in 2015 will become a strength with Boone, a giant of a guard at 6-8, imposing his will on opponents and his colorful personality on teammates.
Raw and honest but with a positive attitude and a genuine love of the game and an excited anticipation for training camp, Boone could be the difference maker the Vikings need on the field and in the locker room. The new stadium could be a difference maker, too.
"Levi's [Stadium] was great but I think this place blows it away," Boone said, who played for the 49ers when their new venue opened two years ago. "I just think the structure alone and the atmosphere it's gonna bring, it's gonna be outrageous."
Outrageous is likely a good word to describe Boone. And if he makes his position group more outrageous and less cerebral, he'll be worth every penny the Vikings are paying him and a lot more.
To hear everything Boone had to say, dial up the PFT Live podcast from Friday at iTunes or audioBoom.

End-of-life care, particularly for patients with advanced dementia, tests the medical covenant, both the integrity and aptness of what physicians have to offer and the fidelity with which they offer it. This article considers five ways of justifying the unilateral withholding of future treatment: (1) an affirmation of professional autonomy; (2) a defense of professional integrity; (3) a parentalist exercise of power on behalf of the patient and/or family; (4) a protection of the interests of third parties (footing the bill); or (5) a protection of the interests of second parties (the physician or other providers). The article concludes with a sixth response to care for the stricken patient and family that seeks to attend more fully to the clinical reality of bonded humans in the throes of disease and death.

While there is a wide variety of answers here, I completely agree with the notion that we all have our preferences, especially considering the wide variety of weapons being used.

Abengane (アベンガネ, Abengane) is a Nen Exorcist and a former player of the game Greed Island hired by Battera the same time Gon and Killua.[2]
2011 | 1999 | Manga
Abengane is a tall lean man. He has dark skin and black hair. His clothing consists of a dark blue long sleeve shirt with light blue lines across it, and dark blue pants with light blue cuffs.
When trying to conceal his appearance, Abengane dons a beige cloak with a yellow poncho over it, covering everything but the bottom of his legs and his eyes.
Abengane is very taciturn and reflective, concealing his emotions and never losing his cool, even if his life is in danger. He is also logical and quite intelligent, as demonstrated from his ability to think quickly and his dialogue with other players. While not necessarily greedy, he is often concerned about money and gain.
Greed Island arc
Abengane was first seen in as one of the potential applicants in Tsezguerra's trial to have a chance to play Greed Island.[3] He is later seen as one of the applicants who passed Tsezguerra's test and later that same day he entered the game via a game console in Battera's Mansion.[2] Abengane was seen again in Antokiba standing near Puhat, looking at a billboard for the events being held in Antokiba on September. Later Abengane seen again with Puhat and Biscuit Krueger, along with a bunch of other players whom seem to be part of alliance founded by Nickes. When Killua tells the group that there was a victim of a bombing incident, Abengane shows no interest or care on the matter. One of the players then explains that the incident that happened wasn't due to a spell in the game, since there are many types of spell cards in the game attack, defense, investigation, etc. The bombing incident was due to a player hunter. Another one of the players then tells there are 3 ways to get cards in the game and then asks what they are. Gon answers find them, which is 1, Abengane answers trade with other players, which is 2, and Killua answers steal them from, which is 3. The player then explains in detail about the difficulty of acquisition and limit of copies cards in the game.[4]
Nickes then proclaims he wants to put an end to all of that and wants their help, which intrigues Abengane and the others. Puhat then inquires how does the alliance plan to acquire the card out of the 3 possible ways. Nickes nervously answers 3, which is to steal them. Abengane then notes that all 3 ways are used with more weight on 3rd way to get cards in the game. Puhat then inquires if they get there cards by force, which Nickes denounces since they don't use violence to get the cards, but it could be classified as robbery. Puhat then asks then how do they take the cards, to which Nickes tells him he was going to explain, but Abengane then speaks up and says spells. This catches the attention of Puhat and Abengane continues with the alliance members take the cards with spells. Puhat then asks if Abengane has been in the game before, but Abengane says that it's his first time playing and he simply used his head. Nickes confirms what Abengane said was true and goes on to say that among the 40 types of spells there are attack and defensive types and types that can allow players to steal them, but also guard against them as well and the alliance wants to achieve a majority of the cards.[4]
Abengane then clarifies that the alliance wants to get a monopoly of defensive cards so the enemy won't be able to protect their own cards. So then they steal the cards they want from the binders of players. Nickes confirms this as well and he and the other alliance members explain more about the alliance and their plans in detail as Abengane and the others listen intently.[4] When Nickes says that the alliance plans to complete the game with in 3 months, Abengane intrigued and when Puhat says he'll join the alliance member Genthru asks Abengane if he'll join as well. Abengane before answering Genthru's question says that he has one more question to ask and inquires if he was to some how obtain a very hard to get card like a SS level card and offers it to his comrades will it boost his earnings? Nickes then says yes and that they'll pay 500 Million for it, so then Abengane agrees to join the alliance. Later on the outskirts of Greed Island Puhat and Abengane along with the other alliance members all wait for a couple of other alliance members to arrive.[5]
Nickes then explains that in order to remove any spells cast on them they have to leave and come back into the game and then wait at the Greed Island Entrance. Nickes then asks for the free slots in both Abengane and Puhat's binders, to which Abengane asks why. Nickes then explains that's because data in the free slot is not saved, which means once you leave the game the cards are lost. However cards in imposed slots stay, but after 10 days are lost and Nickes then says that if they're gone for more than 30 minutes then it'd be considered that they have retired. Nickes then asks if the two of them are ok with that, to which the two of them are. Jispa then arrives and then explains the Leap (G.I card) card function and when Puhat inquires how he got to them, Jispa replies that he used a Magnetic Force (G.I card). Jispa explains about the Magnetic Force card and Return (G.I card) and when he asked if there were any more questions Abengane says no and so Jispa then uses a Leap on both Puhat and Abengane.[5] Later that day Abengane is seen with other new alliance recruits at the Greed Island Entrance. When Jispa finally arrives and sees that everyone is there he uses an Accompany (G.I card) to send them to someone named Kosofftro.[6]
When everyone arrives that the designated place, Kosofftro welcomes everyone to the alliance base in Ajito. He then introduces himself and says that you have to remember his name in order to get back to the alliance base. Abengane then contemplates that instead of leading them to their home base directly he takes them by an indirect path to avoid revealing the location of the base and he also note they're careful people. Jispa then tells the group while leading them to the base that their first job will be going to Masadora and getting spell cards. Jispa then explains that it's the only place where they can get spell cards in packs of 3 and you don't know what cards will be in the packs and of course the rarer cards are hard to obtain. Abengane then notes that it works just like the trading card system, which Jispa confirms. Jispa then explains that they need all 40 spell cards in order to trade them in for the SS level card Breath of Archangel (G.I card) and it's a card that's so rare nobody has yet obtained it. Abengane then asks how does he know that, to which Jispa responds that there's away to find that out and it's called the List (G.I card) and then he explains the use of List.[6]
Jispa then explains more about the Breath of Archangel card and why nobody has yet to obtain one, because the 40 spell cards are so useful you even if you have all 40 of them, you need to use them. However the alliance has managed to get all 40 of the spell cards which intrigues Abengane and the other new recruits. Jispa then explains to them all, while they can just exchange the spell cards for the Breath of Archangel, they have to wait until they get an extra copy of a card called Prison (G.I card), to protect it when they get it. Finally the the new recruits make it to the alliance base and one of the members gives out a long explanation on spell cards another one gives out a sheet with all of the spell cards and their functions in the game and tells them to mesmerize it all within an hour. Abengane however finishes fast and impresses an alliance member and so does Puhat. The alliance member then gives them a quiz, he wants them to name all of the defensive cards they wish to monopolize and to give them the total limit numbers on the spells.[6]
Abengane then whispers the answers into the alliance member's ear and he passes. Puhat then tries again, but fails much to Abengane's amusement.[6] When they alliance is near to complete and beat the game, one of the the alliance members Genthru, reveals himself as the Bomber tells everyone that they all have bombs attached to them. When Jispa hears this he tries to stop Genthru, but has his face destroyed by Genthru's Little Flower Hatsu. After Genthru takes down Jispa he then says he'll explain how to remove the bombs.[7] Genthru then explains that the way activated his Countdown Hatsu is when he touched them all and said the keyword "Bomber" in a sentence. Abengane nervous remembers when Genthru touched him and said the keyword. Genthru then reveals his second ability Little Flower and then reveals all of the bombs hidden on all of the alliance members. Genthru then confesses that revealing his ability to everyone is what triggers the process it, which irks Puhat and Abengane.[8]
Genthru then says that explaining everything to everyone about his ability is the condition that triggers the bombs and Abengane then states that Genthru waited until all of the alliance members gathered together all of the necessary cards and alliance members would be present. Genthru not confirming Abengane's statement, but states if he waited any longer then other challengers might have appeared. So Genthru then offers the alliance a deal and in exchange for their lives they all give up all of their cards to him and when they do he'll cancel out all of the bombs at once. Genthru then states that the exchange place will be Battera's Mansion and they can send anyone they so wish. While Puhat argues that the exchange is something that can't be trusted Nickes tries to stop Genthru, but he escapes by leaving the game. With all of the alliance members in a panic, they're calmed down by one of the senior members and when one of the senior members asks if there's anyone in the alliance capable of taking on Genthru, no one volunteers.[8]
Even with all the confusion and panic, Abengane was still able to keep his calm. Abengane then states that there seems to be nobody that's willing to step forth and challenge him since he's that capable. Since Genthru has the ability to Conjure over 60 bombs at once and not just any bombs, but ones that can inflict fatal damage and has a timing system. Abengane then notes that Genthru being able to use Emission, Manipulation, and Conjuration all at the same time, and his confident attitude, if they all attacked him they'd just be damaged by his Little Flower. While Assam curses Genthru, Abengane states that Genthru must have planned all of this over 5 or more years ago. When Mikli notices that all of the bombs are not going counting down at the same pace, Abengane asks Puhat what the last digit of his number is on his bomb and so Abengane then figures out that the bombs are connected by their pluses and the faster their hearts beats the faster the countdown goes. Abengane then states that the countdown starts at 6,000 so Puhat then says that at a normal speed it would reach zero within an hour.[8]
One of the alliance members then shouts what good would knowing that do, but Abengane warns him that if he over excites himself he'll die faster. Abengane then states that they have to make a decision either to give Genthru the cards or fight him. After Abengane states that most of the alliance members fight with each other, but Nickes stops them saying that Jispa's countdown is below 3,500 and he then requests with tears running down his face, that that everyone hands over their cards.[8] Sometime after the alliance members are revealed to have bombs planted on them. Abengane uses a Magnetic Force and uses it to get to Gon and Biscuit. When Abengane arrives in front of Gon and Biscuit he asks them didn't they have someone else with them. Not answering Abengane's question Biscuit inquires where he got the Mechanism attached to him. Abengane then tells them that the bomber did it to him and then he says that he'll explain everything to them.[9]
Abengane then revealed everything about the Genthru's powers. He also tells them that the rest of the alliance are waiting in the lair for the bombs to be defused, since they probably believe in Genthru's conditions. Gon then inquires that they can't do anything to try and help them, which Biscuit says Gon is right and goes onto say that the alliance could just gang up on him, even if most of them die by the Little Flower. Abengane refutes the idea as unthinkable. Abengane then explains the first ten people who attack him would die and nobody would want to play that role. Abengane then goes onto say a long and detailed explanation saying that Once Genthru left the game everyone was left so bewildered no one knew what to do. Since everything happened after everyone checked the cards they had sorted out, then the card sorting was done, Genthru made his move. While hard to say that Genthru took advantage of the moment we lowered their defenses and right before the roles of everyone were decided and we chose who would keep the cards, however if it happened at another time they wouldn't have been able to react any differently.[10]
The alliance plan was to defend against enemy spell attacks and then steal cards from enemy players. Those 2 points were so precise that it was incorporated into the alliance rules. Also the 2nd point on the tactic of knowing what spell cards the enemy had thanks to steal, in other words they renounce fighting, especially since they don't plan on a enemy escaping with Leap. However even though 70% of the alliance members own that card and while Abengane's not proud to say it, the time Genthru used Leap he was completely immersed in the atmosphere and could do nothing. Abengane listened to Genthru's explanation and tried to understand what he could, but couldn't do anything else. While so absorbed in Genthru's speech and in a unexpected predicament, he was psychologically unable to take any initiative. So that's why he's telling Gon and Biscuit about it now and amongst all of the people on the island they seem to be the only ones he can count on. Abengane then pulls out a spell card out of his folder and says that if he had more time, he'd explain more to them, but will use the remainder of his time to warn others.[10]
Abengane then asks Gon and Biscuit to also inform other players they meet and explain the Bomber incident to them. Since someone who knows his pattern of behavior should be able to counter him and also Abengane asked to avenge all of the members of the alliance or at least don't get Genthru win. Abengane then uses a return card to move to another location. At the new location, Abengane thinks that the Magnetic Force card he used only allowed him to meet Gon and Biscuit, but his effort wasn't in vain. He then proceeds into a forest in order to Exorcise the Bomb on him, while thinking he'd better increase the chance of erasing the Nen even if it's 0.01% and that Nickes should already be heading to the exchange site. So if it's not a defusing, but a total detonation, he'd better take precautions. Abengane first starts up a campfire to begin the Exorcism ritual. He then chants indescribable words, while focusing his Nen into a wooden doll and chants for a forest spirit to come into him and relieve him of the dirty Nen that resides in his body.[10]
Abengane then swings in front of him a small bush and ties bush up into small ropes and ties it on the wooden doll. With the wooden doll complete Abengane contemplates whether it will be a demon or snake and then he throws the wooden doll into the camp fire. The campfire size then expands into a big bonfire, while a creature forms in it. Abengane notes the creature's size and how the countdown must be a powerful Nen ability. A giant mutated snake like creature then crawls out from the fire, crawls over to Abengane and proceeds to eat the bomb, thus relieving him of the Bomb. Now relieved of the bomb on him, Abengane is glad that he no longer has any risk of dying, but due to the exorcism conditions the creature must stick with until either Genthru dies or the conditions to expel the Nen is completed. Abengane notes that even though he now has a bulky companion, he was thinking of changing his appearance. As the creature squirms on Abengane, now in a more cloaked dress, he thinks that he'll play Genthru's game and think he's won.[10] Abengane's name is mentioned on Gon's binder, when he looks to see which players are dead or alive.[11]
When the Phantom Troupe tracked down Abengane thanks to Kalluto's ability, he appears again seen through a telescope used by Hisoka as he sits in a crowd of people eating a bowl of soup.[12] When Gon collected 99 of the restricted slot cards, Abengane along with other Greed Island players, move into Gon's location. During Eeta's Greed Island Quiz, Abengane walks up to Genthru and says, "I caught the Bomber." Thus making the creature attached to him disappear and then he walks away leaving Genthru in a confused daze. When the quiz was finished and Gon, Killua, and Biscuit leave for Limeiro, Abengane notes that even though Gon's team was much stronger than they were before compared to Genthru the difference in strength is huge and they must have used powerful tactics. Abengane then uses a Magnetic force to get to Hisoka and notes that it doesn't matter and that Gon's team can have the money for completing the game, because now he's going to remove the Nen curse placed on Chrollo by Kurapika.[13]
Dark Continent Expedition arc
Abengane has apparently removed Kurapika's chain from Chrollo's heart.
Abilities & Powers
Abengane is rather observant. His deductions on how cards work in Greed Island prompted Puhat to ask him if he had ever been there before. He also realized that the countdown of the bombs set by Genthru was linked to the victim's heartbeats. Despite having one of them in his own body, he did not show the slightest hint of agitation, although it could be due to him knowing he could remove the bomb using his Hatsu. Abengane also has an excellent memory, learning the names and effects of all offensive and defensive spell cards within minutes of reading them.
Abengane's Hatsu allows him to remove the effects of Nen from himself or others, qualifying him as an Exorcist. According to Phinks, this type of ability is a rarity. He is not one of the very best, however, since he cannot lift curses left by a deceased Nen user.
|Abengane's Nen Abilities
|Type: Conjuration
|Abengane's ability requires him to first burn a campfire. He takes a wooden effigy and chants a prayer to forest spirits. He takes a branch of leaves, weaves a netted decoration around the doll, and burns it in the fire. The size of the fire shows how powerful the Nen that has to be removed is. The campfire rages, amassing the auras of the flora and fauna of the forest alongside Abengane's to Conjure a beast from their combined Nen. The beast generated is able to exorcise Nen curses from people by devouring them, though it will linger until the originator of the ability has died or Abengane satisfies the conditions to disarm the curse. No Nen beast can exorcise a curse left by the dead. The size and shape of the beast depends on how powerful the curse is.

BYU football: Cougar bowl games, then and now
But in the 1981 Holiday Bowl, the Cougars also made an incredible comeback. But it wasn't the BYU Cougars — it was the Washington State Cougars. BYU nearly pulled an SMU, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. After BYU defensive back Tom Holmoe — who's now the school's athletic director — picked off a WSU pass early in the third quarter, BYU took a 31-7 lead. But in fine Holiday Bowl tradition, BYU surrendered a comfortable lead as WSU came roaring back, scoring 21 third-quarter points. BYU, though, held on to win, 38-36.
In 1983, it was Steve Young catching the game-winning touchdown pass from Eddie Stinnett in the final two minutes as the Cougars triumphed, 21-17.
Oh yeah, and BYU captured the national title by defeating Michigan in 1984 as a gimpy Bosco threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Kelly Smith to cap the biggest win in Cougar history.
After the game, a reporter asked Wolverine defensive back Ivan Hicks if BYU was the best team in the land. "Yes, and I'll tell you why," Hicks replied.. "We played our hearts out there and they still won."
Yes, the early 1980s were very good to the Republican Party, Cabbage Patch Kids, and BYU football.
Call it coincidence. Call it fate. Call it yet one more inane statistic that's been unearthed. Whatever it is, every four years, from 1982 through 1998, BYU was involved in a blowout. Mostly, the Cougars found themselves on the wrong side.
In 1982, Ohio State, which had beaten Rose Bowl-bound Michigan, pasted the Cougars, 47-17, in the Holiday Bowl. In 1986, UCLA pummeled BYU in the Freedom Bowl, 31-10. Both games were second half blowouts. The Cougars trailed the Buckeyes 17-10 at halftime. Against the Bruins, BYU was down only 7-3 at intermission.
In 1990, BYU fans had complained when they heard Texas A&M would be the Cougars' opponent in the Holiday Bowl. The Cougars were ranked No. 13 and boasted a 10-2 record. The unranked Aggies were 8-3.
But Texas A&M blasted BYU, 65-14, marking the Cougars' worst bowl defeat and, at the time, it was Edwards' worst loss in his career. A&M cruised to a 37-7 lead at the half and proceeded to add 28 second half points.
"Before the game," Tuckett said, "I remember standing on the sidelines and, seeing (Texas A&M's) size, I thought, 'What in the heck are we doing playing against them?"
Four years later, there would be another blowout. In '94, it was BYU's turn to administer a beating with a big 31-6 victory over Oklahoma. The tide turned back on the Cougars in they 1998 Liberty Bowl, where they lost to Tulane, 41-27.
Later, in 2006 and 2009, respectively, BYU beat up on the two Oregon schools in the Las Vegas Bowl by a combined score of 82-28. The Cougars pounded Oregon, 38-8, and Oregon State, 44-20. In 2010, BYU clobbered UTEP, 52-24, in the New Mexico Bowl.
The 1994 Copper Bowl in Tucson, Ariz., marked the final game for Cougar quarterback John Walsh, who would, days after a 31-6 walloping of Oklahoma, announce that he would be making himself eligible for the NFL draft.
Walsh said goodbye by completing 31-of-45 passes for 454 yards and four touchdowns against a downtrodden Sooner team. It was, at the time, the most convincing bowl victory in Cougar history.
For Oklahoma, it was the final game for lame-duck coach Gary Gibbs. In attendance that night, sitting in the press box, was his successor, Howard Schnellenberger. Months after witnessing BYU's commanding win, Schnellenberger talked as if it was the nadir of Sooner football history. He called it "the line of demarcation" for the program and claimed OU would go up dramatically from there.
In Schnellenberger's one and only season at the helm, in 1995, the Sooners finished 5-5-1.
But Schnellenberger was prophetic in a sense. In 1999, Oklahoma ended up hiring some guy named Bob Stoops, and the Sooners became, once again, one of the premier programs in the country.
Meanwhile, Walsh wasn't drafted until the seven round of the 1995 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals and never played a down in the NFL.

(v) Recently discovered, the Universal Studios shark from the Jaws tourist photo op has the ability for skilled annual pass holders to go inside the shark for their photo. Most tourists will stop and go "ooooh!!!" since the majority of people stick their head into the shark or stand next to it. Inspired by a photo of Steven Speilberg in a shark (named after his lawyer, Bruce) a super cool annual pass holder known only as "nutterbutter" started the trend in 2009.
To "shark" one must go inside the shark with their legs in the mouth and hang upside down. This is an alternative to planking.

Sharking is a theory developed to do with the coming on to a guy or girl. Sharks hunt alone and stay away from dolphins which are in packs. They have the killer instinct and so know how to seal the deal. The Basking shark is someone who is only learning the skills, the hammerhead is someone that goes in head first and yet still somehow manages to score. The great white is something of beauty, what they do is almost a vision to watch as they always get what they want, never get rejected and yet do it with finesse. Its something that can only be taught to a certain extent, everyone has the killer instinct, they just need to learn how to use it!!!

Popularised by 'Questionable Content' cartoonist Jeff Jacques in comic #1397, sharking is the act of pressing ones' erect penis against the side of a sleeping partner.
"Marten kept sharking me awake."
""Sharking" you?"
"You know how sometimes if you're sleepin' with a guy he'll snuggle up to you and you feel something poking you in the side?
That's the Boner Shark."

Jail fix is necessary and urgent
Published: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 12:08 a.m.
I picked up the newspaper and began reading the story regarding the need for a new jail or detention center, as it is sometimes known. The general public has no clue of the severity of this issue. Its the same place I incarcerated people 10 to 20 years ago unchanged. Now that is a crime! Sheriff Craig Webres concerns have a great measure of merit. Frankly, I could care less about the murderers, rapists and thieves. As far as I care, they should be on a place like Devils Island of old. My concern is for those who are dedicated to watching the inmates to prevent them from acting upon those things for which they were incarcerated the corrections officers and the general law-enforcement officers who must enter the jail to carry forth their duties in the protection of the public.
Im sure the debate will rage, the matter of money will be paramount and the studies will begin. The question is, When will the new facility be built? Lets hope and pray it does not take a serious jail break or even worse -- the life of corrections officer -- because he or she turned to leave after placing an inmate behind bars, only to discover that the lock failed to lock. You can almost read the epitaph: Here lies a dedicated law-enforcement officer because money was more important than a life.

Anne Hathaway's Version Vs. Susan Boyle's: Hathaway Weighs In
I saw Les Miserables, and can report that Anne Hathaway should start rehearsing her acceptance...
No, wait, I'm not allowed to critique the film just yet.
Too soon! Too soon!
So I'll just say she plays Fantine, the abandoned-mother-turned-unwell-prostitute who sings the plaintive "I Dreamed a Dream."
Upcoming Events
And I'll add that Hathaway's version is raw, teary, sung live, and (oh, hell, let me say it) really powerful.
At a Q&A after the premiere the other night, Hathaway was told by a moderator that her take on the song is certainly different from Susan Boyle's.
"I can't sing like Susan Boyle," said Hathaway, graciously.
"I didn't listen to Patti LuPone's version until I was finished," she added.
"The bar has been set so high by so many incredible vocalists, there's no way I could match it."
So director Tom Hooper told her to simply do it differently and to think of it not as a song, but as "a howl from the center of your soul."
Also memorable is the scene where Hathaway's character gets her hair cut so she can sell it to help clothe her child--a traumatic moment for the actress, who had music piped into her earphones to soothe her during it.
Hooper explained that he had a wonderful male hairdresser dress up like a crone, so he could perform the task in the film.
"Anne wasn't the least bit distracted by a man in drag cutting her hair," Hooper mused.
"It wasn't the first time, sweetie," replied the smiling Anne, who concluded, "I looked like my gay brother!"

I'm using the the_posts filter to remove certain the $the_posts array, depending on whether the user is registered or not and on their registration date (using some post meta-data).
But, what I'm finding is that pagination is set when the list of posts is first built, and is not re-calculated after I delete any relevant posts.
As such, each page has a varying number of posts displayed, depending on how many I delete for that user.
Does anyone know how to re-paginate AFTER I run the the_posts filter?

there are few museums that can offer as much as MOMA an absolute must
Doing what: The Museum of Modern Art Admission with Skip-the-Line Access
Worked well when used to access specific venues such as Top of the Rock, MOMA as check in and processing was very time efficient. Did not work as well with getting tickets for bus tours. We picked up our passes at Hard Rock Café. There was quite a wait as there was only one person working the desk. Materials provided were not that clear and as it turns out, not current. The locations for getting tickets for the bus tours were mostly close to Times Square which was crowded and challenging to get around. For our 1st tour, the ticket agent provided the wrong address for embarkation point which we only found out after a long an protracted journey down to Battery Park via subway and shuttle bus. Actual location was a number of blocks north, necessitating another trip in extremely hot weather. Also Central Park Sightseeing was also listed as a location to book tours. The day I went, I was told that that service had been discontinued a couple of weeks earlier and that I would have to go back down to Times Square several blocks south. Made my way down there to find out you can only take 1 bus tour on the pass. Partly my fault as I missed this information in the package, but frustrating. Receiving incorrect information twice was unacceptable. To sum up, be prepared for a potentially long wait to pick up your pass, and be aware that it works best with attractions like museums. I would not get this pass again.
Doing what: New York City Explorer Pass
We were very happy with the explorer pass. We had the pass for 3 Attractions MoMa, Hop On Hop Off Downtown and Top of the Rock. The pick up was easy and the best thing was the fast entry - especially in the Moma we could avoid huge lines in front of the ticket desk!
It was not really much cheaper than buying tickets directly in NY. We paid EUR 70 for the Explorer Pass. Top of the Rock and Moma is ca. 25.00 EUR - and Bus depends on the vendor...

Easy to use as one of the 3 collection points for our pass was just around the corner from our hotel and we visited Moma, Guggenheim and Empire State Building so we only saved £12 between 3 of us, so how much you save depends on where you visit.

While I enjoyed the activities I chose (Top of the Rock, a Twilight Boat cruise and MOMA) I didn't feel it was great value for money - we had to chose carefully to make sure we 'spent' the cost of the Explorer Pass. Also, I wasn't aware that we avoided any queues - still had to queue for Top of the Rock. So I wouldn't buy a pass again, sorry!

When we decided to take our first of 5 venues, we picked the city tour. The tour was great - very informative and fun. We used the pass for Rockefeller Centre and then ventured to the Guggenheim and MoMA. At the Museum of Natural History, we learned we were to have redeemed our pass at Ripley's. I went through all of my email correspondence and did not find any information about that. I did find the information in the booklet. When we visited, we were advised of many exhibit closures. When we expressed our displeasure at paying full price for admission with so many closures, they replied that admission was by donation and they would accept half price. We concluded that the price of the pass was the same as if you were paying regular price - and you had to pass through a special ticket counter for each venue, which had less staff and sometimes more customers than the regular lines.
