Retail News Breaks
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. – Andy Giancamilli, chairman of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, called for continued industry unity amid economic recovery and health care reform in opening remarks at the NACDS Regional Chain Conference here.
"I see a truly diverse and member-driven trade association that derives ever-increasing strength from common purpose," Giancamilli, who also is chief executive officer of Snyders Drug Stores and Katz Group North America, said in his address Monday. "There is more that unites us than divides us."
Looking back a year ago, Giancamilli recalled the weighty challenges ahead when he began as chairman. "I had just assumed the NACDS chairmanship amid changing political winds ... on the doorstep of the health reform debate ... and in the wake of the economic collapse," he explained. "With the benefit of hindsight, I can say with confidence that the year shaped up pretty well. Things out there aren't perfect. But in terms of NACDS and what we have been able to accomplish, I can say with certainty that we're up to any challenge."
Pharmacy retailers of all sizes can unite around a variety of common issues, particularly the need to reform Medicaid's average manufacturer price (AMP) pharmacy reimbursement model and advancing medication therapy management (MTM), Giancamilli noted.
"When it comes to an issue like fixing this Medicaid AMP beast, there needs to be a common vision and a common voice if there is a prayer of success," he said. "... If there were no other issue beyond this, the Medicaid AMP issue would be sufficient to require collaboration among chains of all types and sizes.
"But there are other issues," he continued, "and one that comes to mind unites not only chains, but also associates — certainly those on the pharmacy side, but also those in the front end who recognize that a strong pharmacy also is good for the entire enterprise. That issue is helping patients take their medications appropriately, what we call medication adherence."
Giancamilli also declared that "NACDS' greatest work in political engagement is yet to come." He pointed out that the association launched a grassroots advocacy program — including RxImpact Day on Capitol Hill, when on one day in June more than 150 pharmacy advocates from 30 states met with more than 180 congressional offices and with senior staff at the Department of Health and Human Services. "Those who couldn't be there in person sent 2,000 letters to Congress. Not bad for a day's work," he added.
The NACDS-PAC, the association's political fundraising arm, also logged a record year, Giancamilli said. "Of the 145 contributors to NACDS-PAC, 45 were new contributors — that's more than 30%. That's growth. That's the right direction," he noted.
Before Giancamilli, NACDS Regional Chain Conference committee chairman Ed Littleton, chairman and chief operating officer of Bartell Drug Co., welcomed attendees, who included 20% higher retailer participation versus 2009, and NACDS associate members that comprised a sold-out exhibit portion of the conference, which began over the weekend and runs through Tuesday.
In addition, NACDS president and CEO Steve Anderson described the association's cultural transformation to better serve its members in the areas of government advocacy, pro-pharmacy communications, member programs and meetings.
"We have resolved that pharmacy will not just talk about medication adherence but own this issue, and proclaim that lives can be improved and saved, and costs can be reduced, by helping people take the right medications in the right ways," Anderson commented.
Regarding NACDS' progress in advocacy, Anderson stated, "Our evolution in government affairs involves this simple realization: Getting wins is what matters."
The Regional Chain Conference, geared specifically for small and midsize pharmacy retailers (operating up to 250 chain drug stores), provides a unique setting for retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to network and conduct business, according to NACDS. Various business and education sessions were provided throughout the conference, which focused on pharmacy and front-end issues and trends, including health care reform, operational issues, social media and economic forecasts.
The next Regional Chain Conference is scheduled for February 6 to 9, 2011, in Naples, Fla.

Eat honey for stronger bones
For a stronger frame, capable of withstanding\r\nany challenge you can throw at it, add\r\nsome honey to your food, say scientists at\r\nPurdue University, Indiana. The amino acids\r\nfound in the sweet nectar help the body to\r\nabsorb calcium more effectively, optimising\r\nyour intake of this vital nutrient from your\r\nfoods and preventing you from developing\r\nbrittle bones. An easy way to increase your\r\nabsorption of calcium, is to add a spoonful\r\n(or two) of honey to fruit, cereals (with milk)\r\nor yoghurts. Try Gales Pure Honey, £1.69\r\nat Tesco, and add it to these calcium-rich\r\nsnacks to really boost your benefits.
Dried apricots
\r\n\r\nNutrient-rich and\r\nboasting high levels of\r\ncalcium in their regular\r\nform, these properties\r\nare boosted when theyre\r\ndried. Add to fruit salad\r\nwith honey for a bone-healthy\r\ndessert. Tesco,\r\n£1.27 (tesco.com)

The cult of fashion
at Louis Vuitton
For the Fall/Winter 2011 collection, Marc Jacobs completely transformed the Louvre Museum's courtyard into the lobby of a grand hotel from another era, directing a nocturnal ballet regulated by mechanical elevator cages, from which bellboys, mistresses and spies exit. With their insolent look, the Louis Vuitton Mata Hari wear fetish-like, unsettling and sensual uniforms, fit for Ma
Attired in caps, the models wear tops with Claudine collars on black garter-style organza skirts, lace-effect leather pants or navy jodhpurs with a satin red band, all with a certain authority. The trench-coats in black, grey or burgundy, and dresses clasped at the waist by patent leather belts, precisely define the Louis Vuitton silhouettes.

Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.
Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.

I love these summer sounding tropical type tracks and I also like a lot of Mark Medlock's music. This is a 32 count dance with a 48 count tag you do after every fourth wall. Some of the steps in the two parts are a little similar but it soon falls into place. My lot loved it!

The West Lothian Question is so called after the MP for West Lothian, Scotland, Tam Dalyell who first questioned the right of MPs elected in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to interfere in English affairs.
The question he asked was this:
For how long will English constituencies and English Honourable members tolerate… at least 119 Honourable Members from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland exercising an important, and probably often decisive, effect on English politics while they themselves have no say in the same matters in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
The essence of the West Lothian Question is "why should an MP elected in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland be allowed to vote on something that only affects England when they can't even vote on the same thing in their own constituency?"
Tam Dalyell was a clever man, he foresaw the problems with assymetric devolution before it even happened. When he first posed the West Lothian Question it was during a debate on the first attempt to devolve power in Scotland and Wales in 1977. On that occasion the attempt failed but in 1997 Scotland and Wales were both given home rule and the West Lothian Question became extremely relevant.
English university students only pay top-up fees because of MPs from Scottish constituencies who voted with their government to impose the fees on England despite it being a devolved matter in Scotland. A majority of MPs for English constituencies voted against the introduction of top-up fees in English universities but Labour's Scottish MPs were whipped to vote for them despite it being a matter for the Scottish Parliament in their own constituencies.
Foundation hospitals, which have been widely criticised as overly bureaucratic and inefficient, were imposed on England with the votes of MPs elected in Scotland as with university top-up fees.
MPs for Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish constituencies have continued to vote on controversial English laws such as the ban on fox hunting and the smoking ban.

This paper examines the effect of accounting restatements on a firm's cost of equity capital. We show that, on average, accounting restatements lead to both decreases in expected future earnings and increases in the firm's cost of equity capital. Depending on the model used, relative percentage increases in the cost of equity capital average between 7 and 19% in the month immediately following a restatement. The relative increase in the cost of capital dissipates as time passes and after controlling for analyst forecast biases, but continues to average between 6 and 15% in the most conservative setting. We also show that restatements initiated by auditors are associated with the largest increase in the cost of capital, and that firms with greater leverage experience greater increases in their cost of capital. Overall, our evidence is consistent with accounting restatements lowering the perceived earnings quality of the firm and increasing investors' required rates of return.

Web 'Handles' Vs. Phone Numbers
A U. S. GOVERNMEN T report showing that hiring is up had some good news for IT workers: The tech industry added about 7,100 jobs in November, an increase of 0.17% from the previous month.
At the same time, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) moved to block legislation that would eliminate per-country caps on employer-sponsored green cards.
According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data analyzed by the industry group TechServe Alliance, the overall employment number for the tech industry reached almost 4.068 million last month, representing a year-over-year gain of 2.1%. The total is close to the all-time high of 4.088 million reached in June 2008, according to TechServe.
IT pay might be seeing gains as well, thoughthe data supporting that is more anecdotal.
Forget phone numbers and email addresses; the era of the Internet "handle" is emerging.
Instead of having to remember someone's phone number or email address, in just a few years we might be able to find an individual over the Internet via his or her handle, or nickname.
This would be similar to the way handles are used in instant messaging or on Skype, except that the handle would apply to all modes of getting in touch.
"People will no longer seek eachother's phone numbers or emailaddress[es] when establishingpersonal or working relationships,"wrote Gartner analyst Adib Ghubrilin a report on mobile predictionsfor 2012 and beyond. "Instead,they will ask each other, ' What'syour handle?' "Handles could have a huge ad-vantage, Ghubril said. They mayremain unchanged for life, or atleast for a long time.
To use the handle format, an indi-vidual would need a personal Webpage that could be accessed via hisor her handle. On that Web page,the user would store phone num-bers and emailaddresses, mak-ing sure to keepthem up to date.
Of course, such a system would require a new generation of contact-management applications designed to work in this way.

I had a dream last night about a Native American woman… long black hair in braids on either side of her head running down her back, in a leather dress, moccasins, turquoise and feather jewelry around neck and wrists… walking through my pasture, past my two horses going away from my house…… there was great sense of peace… any ideas?
ChickenLady – She passed by you – and it is a pity she didn't stop. Because it seems that it was a guide or a touch of your spirit that came very close.
What that means is that you have a lot of feelings for the animals and nature around you. And that allows you to be in touch with an even wider awareness of the Life of nature and what it can teach you. For the woman is an image of that, and could and can teach you.
So call her back to you. Offer her something as a gift – some tobacco maybe. Then invite her into your home.

Convenience store clerk convicted for shooting beer thief
Update 11:35 a.m. A Travis County jury this morning convicted Juan Romero of murder and tampering with physical evidence in the August 2009 shooting death of a man who had stolen a 12-pack of beer from the South Austin convenience store where Romero worked.
Romero did not react to the verdict. Members of Jorge Vielmas family began crying so loudly that they had to be escorted from the courtroom. Vielma, 22, died from a gunshot wound to the back after Romero followed him out of the store and began firing.
The punishment phase of the trial begins this afternoon. Romero faces of up to life in prison on the murder charge and up to 10 years on the tampering charge, which stems from allegations that he hid bullet casings and altered a surveillance video taken at the time of the shooting. He could also receive probation because he has no prior criminal record.
The Travis County jury in Juan Romeros murder and tampering with evidence trial has sent a note to state District Judge Julie Kocurek stating that they are deadlocked. The note says the jury is split 10-1-1 without giving further information, including which verdict the jury favors. Kocurek is expected to seat the jury in her courtroom soon and tell them to keep deliberating. The jury has been deliberating since 8:30 a.m. Thursday after deliberating for two hours Wednesday.
Earlier, at the jurys request they were again shown surveillance video taken at the store around the time of the shooting. It showed a man run from the store and Romero run after him but cameras did not capture the shooting. Video also captured Romero smiling as he returned to the store, according to testimony of a police detective.
Prosecutors argued that Romero, 24, shot Vielma out of anger after Vielma ran with the beer from the store at a Shell station on the southeast corner of Ben White Boulevard and South First Street.
The shooting happened just before midnight Aug. 15, 2009, according to testimony. A police officer responding to a shots fired call asked Romero whether he heard or saw anything. Romero said he did not, the officer said.
Romeros defense lawyers argued he had the right to kill Vielma under Texas defense of property laws.
Under Texas law a person may kill if he reasonably believes the force is necessary to prevent someone from escaping immediately after stealing from the person during the nighttime. The shooter also must believe that the property cannot be protected by other means and that he would be at risk by trying to get the property back using less than deadly force.
Vielmas body was found about two hours after the shooting inside his friends car in East Austin. That friend ultimately led police to the store, where they learned Romero was on duty around the time of the shooting.
When police came to his house he gave them his 9 mm semiautomatic Smith & Wesson pistol and agreed to be interviewed.
The interview was recorded and played for the jury.
Guy walked off with a 12-pack, Romero said in matter-of-fact fashion. I saw him Shot one warning shot. He didnt drop it, so I shot him. Thats it.
After the beer thief left in a car, Romero said he knew the man had been hit because he saw blood on the pavement.
Romero told Det. Rogelio Sanchez that he fired 16 shots he described himelf a trigger happy and that he did not call police because police have done little in response to past complaints about thefts at the store. He said he believed he was within his rights to shoot the man under Texas law.
Romero is free on bail and has been working at a Johnson City convenience store owned by Jose Carranza, who owns the store on Ben White Boulevard where the shooting happened.

BUFFALO Nike Free Run, N.Y. mulberry tasker udsalg, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Airline experts predict the crash of a commuter plane outside Buffalo will streamline U.S. regulations on the use of autopilot during icy conditions.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board currently have different standards about when autopilot should be used during conditions when icing could become a factor Nike Free outlet deutschland, the Buffalo News said Wednesday.
But the loss of 50 lives in last week's Continental Connection disaster has focused on the fact that the plane's autopilot was engaged and the possibility that it masked changing aerodynamics until it was too late.
Aviation lawyer Justin Green told the News the crash could result in a new agreement between the FAA and NTSB on stricter guidelines when the pilot should take over manual control of the plane.
"This accident may prompt the FAA to restrict the use of autopilots in icing even further and hopefully will cause them to act on the NTSB's safety recommendations on icing lojas timberland," Green said.

Video: Hole In The Rock
Check out this great short video from the guys over at Canada Toyota 4WD Association. This video chronicles their recent three day journey on the Hole in the Rock Trail as the CT4WD members take in the incredible sights of the Hole in the Rock Trail filled with slick rock, expansive views, and the Colorado River.
The Hole in the Rock Trail is a historic route running west of the Escalante River in southern Utah. Running almost 200 miles from near Escalante to Bluff, it travels within the borders of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the nearby Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The road is named after an unusual geologic feature at its southeastern end, Hole in the Rock. The natural crevice on the 1,000 feet cliff above the Colorado was enlarged by the Mormon San Juan Expedition to lower their wagons down to river level, where it could be forded. The Mormon San Juan Expedition used, and created parts of this route to colonize an area to the east of the Colorado River. It is an important access route for visiting the Canyons of the Escalante and the Devil's Garden. This route is a must for those planning an overland trip to Utah!

Last Monday, November 19th, we ran a very popular webinar with Victor Perez, a master when it comes to using Python inside NUKE. A whopping ninety nine people attended this live webinar to hear what Victor had to share, and we've had an incredible number of requests from people who couldn't attend to share the webinar recording. For us, this interest has been very encouraging, and we look forward to bringing you more webinars like this.
Not to be missed… Python Tips and Tricks from a NUKE Master!
Next Monday, November 19th, we welcome Victor Perez back to our studio for a demonstration on his top tips and tricks when working with Python in NUKE.
Webinar Recording: Getting to the Heart of Compositing with Davi Stein
A big thank you to everyone who joined us on October 24th as Davi Stein set about getting to the heart of compositing. This webinar was hugely popular, proving that there are a lot of folks out there looking to discover what sets compositing apart from other 3d elements in VFX.
Think outside the Box
Thinkbox, the makers of Deadline & Krakatoa, have developed a large number of application and plugins designed to extend existing pipelines and operate seamless with each other to create new workflows. Many of the software platforms that Thinkbox have created started in-house to refine dozens of VFX feature films over 15 years of production.
Webinar Reminder: Getting to the heart of compositing!
This Wednesday, October 24th, we're hosting a webinar with compositing tutor and Head of 2D at Escape Studios, Davi Stein. During her presentation, Davi will guide us through the core processes behind compositing, highlighting exactly what a compositor does, the range of roles available in the industry, and how Compositors are largely responsible for creating the CG magic we see on screen. As well as this, Davi will comment on the effects of some of the most recent changes in the industry to date.
Welcome to the wonderful world of compositing!
Looking to learn something new? If that's the case, then we have two webinars coming soon that deserve your attention. Both webinars range from beginner friendly, to the more advanced, where NUKE operators can learn more about how to apply Python to their projects. Both webinars are at either end of the spectrum, concentrating on the art of compositing in all its different forms. So to get a better understanding of skilful compositing, make sure you tune in for either or both presentations.
Free Webinar: Getting to the heart of compositing!
Compositing in regards to VFX can be a difficult process to explain unless seen in action. Although the term may seem quite self-explanatory to those working in the industry, that's not generally the case for those starting out, looking to break into the industry. And as we speak with budding CG artists every day, we feel it's important to understand what sets compositing apart from the 3d modelling elements of VFX. As it's only when you truly understand the range of departments that exist in the visual effects industry, can you make the right career decision.
Webinar Recording Now Available!
Last month, the lovely Alexander Swann graced us with a simply brilliant webinar about his time working on Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. As a 3D Paint and Roto Artist, Alex gave an incredible insight into what this role involves, while also revealing the very fun side of working in the film industry.
Take Your NUKE Fluency to the next level!
We've invited Victor Perez to share some of his top tips and tricks when working with Python in NUKE. Having studied our Compositing for Production course back in 2009, Victor has gone on to master NUKE to a highly professional level. Voted this year's second most valuable nukepedia.com contributor, and one of the first official Nuke certified trainers, Victor has prepared a webinar to show you what's possible when you apply Python scripting to a project.
Webinar Exclusive: Snow White & The Huntsman with Amy Cuthbertson
Our visual effects and compositing students have gone on to work on some pretty awesome projects over the years. These include the many studio blockbusters that light up cinema screens around the world. Seeing escapee names in the rolling credits at the end of such films never fails to give us that warm fuzzy feeling of pride – proud to see they have achieved the goal they had when we first met them on our courses. And this was very much the case when some of the Escape team went to an exclusive screening of Snow White and The Huntsman at Framestore a few months ago.
Webinar reminder... don't miss out!
For all budding Compositors out there, Alexander Swann is joining us for an exciting webinar exclusive next Wednesday. Roto Artist and escapee, Alex has spent the last couple of years mastering the art of 3D painting and rotoscoping at Framestore. Showing some examples from the very recent, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, we recommend that you check this one out.
An Audience With Mark Spevick
With just one more week to go we thought we'd give you another reminder about the webinar taking place next week with our wise Head of 3D, Mark Spevick.
Webinar: 3D Painting & Roto in "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"
We feel there's just not enough webinars on compositing at the moment, so we've arranged for one of our compositing escapees to resolve this. Alexander Swann, currently Paint and Roto Artist at Framestore, is joining us for a webinar exclusive on August 29th for all the comp fans among you.
On The Right Track
Mark Spevick, Visual Effects extraordinaire and current Head of 3D at Escape Studios will be hosting a webinar on 25th July from 5.30pm to 6.30pm online.

Two Smooth Gay Guys Fuck Each Other
Duration: 42m, 37s, Starring Tyson Rexx, Jonathan Winters
On the surface, it might just seem like two guys having a good conversation. But Tyson and Jonathan just happen to be in bed, and Jonathan doesn't waste any time wrapping his lips around Tyson's cock and sucking his cock all the way down his throat. His ass is ready to be plowed hard, but first, Tyson licks his cock stiff before he bends him over and slides his fuck stick deep down his asshole. He looks back at him while he's getting pounded deep, begging him to fuck him harder, and then he gets laid down and spread open before he gets to turn the tables on him and bang his butt. He's covered in both of their hot loads in the end.
Slender Guy Sucking off Hunky Dude
Duration: 15m, 51s, Starring Jonathan Winters, Chris Ryder
Jonathan Winters is not quite a twink, but he's certainly on the slender end of the scale when compared to Chris Ryder, a total hunk with a giant dick. These sexy gay guys start off slow, with lots of stripping down and admiring of bodies. They start the dick sucking early, with Jonathan grabbing Chris's dick and shoving it deep in his mouth. They love the way he works it, and you just hear his moans more and more until the entire room is filled with him moaning at the top of his lungs. They finish off by going on the top of the couch, fucking, and then mutually masturbating.
Duration: 20m, 37s, Starring Jonathan Winters, Jason Frost
Far too many gay guys still have to keep their sexual preferences on the down low, but I think this pair might be sneaking around for the thrill of it. Jonathan Winters and Jason Frost start things off by getting a good mouthful of dick, working their lips and tongues up and down until they just have to get a piece of ass. Jason takes the lead on this one, slowly sliding his dick deep inside of Jonathan's ass. He goes slow until he's sure that Jonathan can handle it, and then it's full speed ahead on the ass fuck train.

Actress Rosie Perez says she got so fed up with trying to explain her cultural background to people that she decided to make a documentary about it, according to Star Pulse:
Rosie Perez was compelled to make her directorial debut a documentary about her roots because she was sick of having to explain her Puerto Rican pride to others. Perez was born and raised in New York but was always taught to take pride in her Latino roots.After realizing how tough American life can be for Puerto Rican ex-patriots she decided to make a movie about her parents' homeland. And, while making "Yo Soy Boricua, Pa'que Tu Lo Sepas! (I'm Boricua, Just So You Know!)," the actress recalled childhood memories where she was made to feel stupid – because of her background.
Rosie also sat down with Newsday to answer some questions about the film and her culture, politics and other topics related to Puerto Rico. She made it clear in the interview that the topic of Puerto Rican statehood wasn't something she was willing to opine about — she's leaving that up to people who actually live on the island:
The documentary mentions the last time Puerto Ricans voted on their status, whether [the commonwealth] should be less or more incorporated into the U.S. – what is your answer to that question?My answer is that since I'm not an islander, I don't really have a right to say which way it should go. It would be like me as a New Yorker deciding if Arnold Schwarzenegger should still be governor.
One of the answers was "None of the above" – what does that mean?That's not one of the answers, that's the popular vote: none of the above. Basically what it's saying is there isn't a viable option, in their opinion, that has been presented yet.
They didn't want it to change but they didn't want it to stay the same, either?No, they're not saying that. That's your interpretation.
OK, what does it mean?
And that's part of the problem, and that's part of the reason why I made this documentary. Everyone had their opinion, and it's like, why don't you go and ask the people? They're making a clear statement. The items that have been brought to the table are not what they want. And I think that the United States should take that into serious consideration and start asking them exactly what they want.

Mining the tropics
PUBLISHED: 25 Oct 2012 01:46:44 | UPDATED: 26 Oct 2012 13:58:53PUBLISHED: 26 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 26 Oct 2012Viceroy Bali, Ubud.
Andrew Cornell and Julie-anne Sprague
Port Hedland is less than a two-hour flight from Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport. The port is more than two hours away from Perth by air. Every weekend, Skywest Airlines flies directly to Bali from this feeder port for the massive resources projects of the north-west of Western Australia and increasingly the usually full flights have a familiar feel: they are full of fly in, fly out (FIFO) workers.
FIFOs work long shifts with plenty of compensating time off. A week on, a week off; eight days on, then six off – hours that don't dovetail with lifestyles designed around 9am to 5pm weekdays.
What such hours do encourage are dreams of the off-time spent somewhere vastly different to the hot, dry, dusty – albeit spectacular – Kimberley or Pilbara or the goldfields of south-west WA.
So rather than return to Perth or Darwin, the resource boomers look for somewhere different, maybe the south-west of WA around the Margaret River. Or the east coast cities. Or the tropics, such as Phuket or Bali.
Ayana Residences, a new residential complex on the grounds of the luxury Ayana Resort and Spa in Jimbaran Bay in Bali, has run marketing fairs in Jakarta and Sydney. And Port Hedland.
"We've already sold many pre-launch and, outside of Indonesia, Australians are our most interested," says Ayana director of sales and marketing Mariusz Mierzejewski. "And the mining industry people are a particularly strong group."
Apartments in the Ayana Residences range from about $US500,000 for one bedroom through to $US1 million for two bedrooms and penthouses at $US2.7 million.
These sorts of developments, where the promoters offer owners and tenants all the facilities of a resort, are an emerging niche. Bali investment properties range from detached housing to units in what are known as condotels – condominium/hotel shared properties – to villas in resorts.
Each has its attractions and shortcomings: villas, for example, typically have strict limits on how many days owners can use them as the villa is a part of the resort's inventory. In return, the investor receives a guaranteed yield.
Perth property developer John Garland says the pace of property investment in Bali has sped up in the past five years as Australians take advantage of the strong dollar and look for alternative holiday homes after getting priced out of the local market. And Perth residents like Bali.
The holiday home destination of choice for most Perth residents has been around Margaret River, where premium homes sell for at least $1 million. While prices have eased in recent years, the mining boom sent prices soaring and prompted many to look elsewhere.
The 30-odd flights a week from Perth to Bali take about the same time as the 3½ hour drive to Margaret River, 300 kilometres south of Perth. Meanwhile cheap airfares and the minimal cost of living in Bali add to the attraction of going north instead of south.
"It gets to the point where people say 'do I spend $1 million, $2 million, $3 million buying a place down south, drive the 3½ hours and then clean the place when I pack up to leave, or do I jump on a plane to Bali, where I have staff that can cook and clean for me?' " Garland says. Garland's company Garland International subdivided a property on the island of Nusa Lembongan, near Bali, selling every lot but one to West Australians. The other buyer was a Queenslander. He says building costs are lower than in Australia and "the quality is phenomenal".
The major issues for Australian buyers are Indonesian property law and the sovereign risk implicit in any overseas investment, particularly one where local regulation can be opaque and the rule of law doesn't have strong precedent. Australians, for example, can't buy freehold property in Bali so investments are structured under 20-year to 100-year lease arrangements or bought on behalf of a local with the buyer retaining control in a mortgage.
Ayana's Mierzejewski says the ownership restrictions in Bali are something the resort has structured its marketing around, working with Australian real estate agents who have arrangements with Australian banks.
"The condotels or villa investments have been popular but one of the things we hear is investors assume any kind of guaranteed yield is simply built into the price," he says.
"With Ayana Residences, it is up to the owner to choose whether or not to rent out the apartment – and we can recommend on that front if they choose. The residences are something we've gone into because of very strong demand from our regular guests – and obviously a lot of our regulars are coming from Western Australia and the resources industry."
The Bali market is changing rapidly as more sophisticated – and larger – vendors and developers come into the market, while horror stories about dodgy developments and legal minefields ratchet up investor anxiety.
Australian Anthony Syrowatka is director of sales and marketing at his family-owned Viceroy Bali, a luxury resort and spa in Ubud. He says the Indonesian government is working to improve transparency in the investment market.
The Viceroy does not have external investors but Syrowatka says his family is watching the evolution closely. "Ubud actually has a lack of luxury properties, so there is opportunity there," he says.
"But there is also a growing focus on improving the visa system and property title so Bali can build on the market for retirement and semi-retirement, health and medical tourism as well as niches like FIFO. You see property prices already rising 20 per cent a year as the market matures."
Meanwhile Bali is also popular with young families in the FIFO market and schools and preschools have waiting lists made up of Australian kids. Whether workers are based in the Timor Sea or in remote Australia, travel times for non-working weeks stack up easily.
For example, for those working in the north west, there might be a couple of hours in a bus to Port Hedland or a charter flight, then either a couple of hours direct to Bali or two hours to Perth and on from there. That sort of commute, well organised, adds up to about $3000 a year – which starts to look very reasonable stacked up against Perth's $5 coffees.
But the investment has to be properly understood.
Investing in Bali – or Phuket or even Singapore – is still a foreign investment. These are not Australian investments under Australian law, and legal and taxation burdens can change, sometimes without warning.
For all that sovereign risk however, when it's closer than the Margaret River, there's more than 50 flights a week and some of them are less than $100, it's little wonder Bali is the new Perth weekender.
As Bali-based Elite Havens real estate partner Matthew Georgeson says that "70 per cent of our inquiries from Australia come out of Perth. Out of that 70 per cent, probably half are involved in mining".

I had a short conversation with Chad Myers today over twitter (a
very challenging medium to have a conversation of any substance over,
and frustrating). Basically, it was about my effort with Siege.ServiceLocation. I thought I would clear up some misconceptions.
Siege.ServiceLocation isn't an abstraction, it's a decoupling.
Siege.ServiceLocation isn't just about contextual
registration/resolution (though that was the initial impetus). It's not
about resolution at all. It's about expressing registration. It's about
adding functionality to ALL containers. There are a few things that I
am trying to accomplish with this library. First, I want to decouple
registration from resolution. That's not to say I want to abstract how
each container's registration is performed; I want them decoupled completely. Second, I want my library to be functionally compatible with existing frameworks (see Siege Design Philosophy
for more details). This means whatever Siege.ServiceLocation can do,
all the frameworks it integrates with can do. Third, I want it to be
easy. Outside of Ninject (which I think is a wonderfully built IoC), I
think the others fail the third criteria. I've worked with them all. I
know the differences. They each have distinct problems. And I don't
think it has to be that way.
Inversion of Control containers should be about resolving types
Not about registering types. Registration is a way of instructing an
IoC how to resolve a type. It's not what the IoC is built for, it's a
way of expressing what the IoC needs to do. Each IoC has a different
way of accomplishing the same thing. I've been told that choosing an
IoC is about evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each framework
and picking the one that suits your needs.
What? If an IoC is there to resolve types and their dependencies, to
provide a mechanism to help you decouple your code, then how can there
be strengths and weaknesses in each framework? Is it in terms of how
efficiently they perform the task? Is it in terms of they internally
manage resolution?
Or is it in terms of what their registration syntax allows you to
do? Is it in terms of how you express your goal? Is it in terms of the
instructions the container understands when it tries to resolve a type?
These are all rhetorical questions. The point is to look at the
problem differently than has been traditionally done. To my mind, there
is a clear seperation of concerns between the responsibility of
registering types and the responsibility of resolving types. I think an
IoC should specialize in resolving types and their dependencies, not
specialize in expressing how to resolve types and their dependencies.
Siege.ServiceLocation is not an IoC
It's a coordination mechanism for an IoC container. Think "one level
above" the container. Rather than instructing an IoC container how to
resolve your type, you instruct Siege.ServiceLocation. It then in turn
knows how to interact with the underlying framework to get what you
want. It tracks the conditions and criteria. It makes all the requests
necessary through the underlying framework to get your objects
constructed. Think of it as a proxy with an adapter. The goal is to
track runtime conditions to facilitate the selection of an appropriate
interface. To enable this functionality WITHOUT having to force you to
use a specific framework. Where the IoC container specializes in
resolution, Siege.ServiceLocation specializes in registration and
communicating requests to the IoC container.
The reason that each IoC framework has strengths and weaknesses is
because each IoC has it's own way of trying to go about describing how
they want things resolved. That means that some of them can interpret
certain resolution instructions. Others interpret their own resolution
instructions. That's not the point of an IoC, and it's no wonder they
all do it differently and each has their own strengths and weaknesses.
If we move the registration expression above the container that
performs resolution, we can decouple these two concepts. Then, as long
as the component that understands registration can express instructions
to the component that performs resolution, all containers can suddenly
benefit from these collective strengths. We remove the need for
containers to worry about these concerns. We remove the need for
developers to do an analysis of what "features" a container supports.
We remove the need for people to make trade-offs on what strengths they
gain, what weaknesses they are burdened with and what features they
lose out on when choosing an IoC framework.
The Least Common Denominator
In my brief conversation with Chad, he pointed out that most
abstraction attempts only manage to accomplish the Least Common
Denominator of all frameworks and wind up gutting the potential of each
of the frameworks they integrate with. I understand his point, but I
think this is fundamentally different. The desire is NOT to limit you
to what all frameworks have in common, but to allow people to use
functionality that may NOT exist in all frameworks. A primary example
of this is contextual resolution. Several IoCs can do this to some
extent or another, based on very narrow criteria. Some of them can't do
it at all. None of them can respond to evolving runtime conditions when
selecting an implementation of a requested type.
When combining these containers with Siege, suddenly all of them
gain this ability. This is because Siege understands both how to
accomplish what you are requesting (it's specialty is in extensible
registration) and how to communicate with a container to achieve it's
goal (for example, when condition a is met, request type a. when
condition b is met, request type b). On top of that, it instructs the
container on how to call back to Siege for each dependency that a container has to resolve for additional instructions on how to perform resolution.
This means that by using Siege you can gain functionality that your
selected container doesn't natively support. And as Siege's use cases
grow, ALL containers functionality will grow. A rising tide lifts all
boats. If the strengths of each container were built as registration
expressions into Siege, all containers would gain this
strength. You would would sacrifice nothing, make no trade-offs and not
be required to learn multiple distinct ways to express how you want a
type resolved.
Limiting your choices
One of the design philosophies behind this project is NOT to limit
your choices. It's to expand them. If Siege doesn't support something
that a specific container does, use that container with Siege. Do their
specialized registration to configure the container and then give it to
Siege to do whatever additional registration expressions you need to.
With this approach, we avoid any LCD philosophy, we avoid limiting the
your choices as a developer. Alternatively, you can easily extend the
framework to accomplish what you want so you don't have to change
containers or feel constrained to a specific one. On top of that, we
deliver functionality that you would not have otherwise. And hopefully,
as the framework grows and evolves, you won't have to learn 5 different
ways of registering and resolving types. You'll only have to learn one,
and no matter which underlying framework you use, all of them will
support your system fully. But, that's down the road from where we are
today, which is why I made it an important design decision to be sure
we didn't rob any underlying IoC of it's functionality.
I'll be the first to admit, this wasn't the direction that I was
going when I first started working on this. I wanted to do an 80/20.
But my point of view has evolved over the last month and my efforts
have gone towards supporting the idea that functionality can and will
be introduced to all containers through Siege. Some of the things I've
had to say in this post contradict what I've said in previous posts
(perhaps I should update them?) But that comes with an evolving point
of view. It's organic. Things will grow and change. And I want to thank
Chad for challenging me and making me think more in depth about how to
articulate where I'm going and what I'm doing so I could put up a post
like this.
Let each framework specialize and do what it does best. I don't
expect the existing framework teams to embrace this idea. There will
always be new features introduced to them. There will always be
features in Siege that none of the others will have. That's the nature
of the beast.
But my goal is to give you more options and to not take any away. I
hope that clears up any confusion around what the intent is here.
Happy coding!

LONDON (AP) — From chiming Big Ben to the London Eye. From Lord Nelson's statue to Buckingham Palace. Every view from the Olympic beach volleyball stadium is London in all its majesty.
The players knew they would be competing in the showcase venue of these Summer Games, And now that they've finally seen it in person, almost every one of them is in awe heading into Saturday's opening matches of pool play.
Defending gold medalist American Todd Rogers calls the beach volleyball players the "spoiled children" of the Olympics because they have it that good. During training Friday, a squirrel carrying a nut in its mouth scurried through the sand on one practice court.
A lush, picturesque park surrounds Horse Guards Parade, and to this day only Queen Elizabeth II herself can enter through one nearby gate. Not enough grandeur for you? Also right outside is Westminster Abbey.

Copperplate evolved in the earliest part of the 18th century due to a need for an efficient commercial hand in England. The "secretary hand" (a cursive variety of Gothic minuscule), the "mixed hand", and the more elegant Italian cancellaresca testeggiata had given way to something plainer and more practical. Two varieties of a new "copperplate" style became common: "round hand," the bolder of the two, was considered appropriate for business use, and "Italian," a lighter and narrower form, was considered the ladies' hand.
Such was the success of copperplate that by the end of the 18th century it had been adopted in France (where it has coexisted with ronde), Spain, and Italy. In these countries it was known as the "English hand". John Seally's manual of about 1770, The Running Hand, recommends a sloping Italian with loops (not in regular use before), in which all the letters are linked. The running influenced English handwriting in the last years of the 18th century, and loops and links have been the general rule ever since.
Until the middle of the 18th century, the American colonies relied on handwriting models from England. The colonists wrote secretary, humanist, or mixed hands which were indistinguishable from those of their contemporaries at home. Benjamin Franklin, who himself wrote an attractive copperplate hand, executed the first colonial models of the Italian, round, and secretary hands and published them in The American Instructor (Philadelphia, 1748). Franklin's popular school book, plagiarized from an equally popular London work of the period, stressed the English round hand; so did the first U.S. writing manual of any consequence, John Jenkins' The Art of Writing (1791). Round hand influenced the American "Spencerian" script taught in business schools throughout the United States in the 1840s and thereafter.
Unlike earlier styles, such as French ronde, Gothic, and Italian cancellaresca, which required a pen with a broad nib shaped like a minute screwdriver blade, copperplate requires a flexible, very sharp, pointed nib. Today copperplate calligraphy is sometimes called the "pointed pen method". To begin practicing 18th century copperplate handwriting, you might want to use a fine ball-point pen. When you have taught yourself to form the letters correctly, you should switch to a quill pen or a steel point held in a pen holder or wedged into the end of a quill. Some of the steel points you may find suitable for copperplate writing are Hunt's No. 99, 100, 103 and 22B. You will not need the elbow pen, which is usually recommended by modern teachers of copperplate calligraphy.
At an art or office supply store, you may purchase a black, non-waterproof ink such as that made by Osmiroid. Do not use India ink, because it tends to gum up the nib. You may make an authentic 18th century black ink by combining a teaspoon each of copperas and tannic acid, a pinch of gum arabic, and a pint of rain or distilled water.
For practicing copperplate, a good quality lined legal pad is excellent. You should use a sized paper of good quality; cheap or unsized paper tends to permit the ink to bleed. For authentic 18th century letter writing you may want to purchase an off-white laid paper of 100% rag, linen or cotton content, such as that manufactured by the Crane and Gilbert companies and sold in office supply stores. Please note that on laid paper, one side is smoother than the other is. You may need to examine the paper carefully under good light to distinguish the two sides. Write on the smoother side to help prevent the pen tip from snagging the paper fibers and splattering ink.
Learning 18th century copperplate handwriting is a matter of learning to write the capital letters (called majuscules by calligraphers and "upper case" by printers), the small letters (minuscules or "lower case"), as well as the numbers and a few symbols (shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4).
Capitals rely heavily on the S-shaped "line of beauty" described by Hogarth. This was popular during the 18th century, not only in calligraphy but also in furniture design (cabriole chair legs, mirror frames) and architecture. Many of the capital letters are begun by drawing the S-shaped downstroke to the base line. The upstroke of each letter is a light thin line, but the quill point is lightly flattened to broaden the downstrokes.
Small 18th century copperplate letters also emphasize the downstroke. These are similar to the modern cursive script you learned in elementary school, but the S has two forms. Lower case S's at the beginning and in the middle of words were written in a form similar to the modern cursive small S; all other S's resemble F without a bar. These two different forms of the letter S were dropped by some educated people by the time of the American Revolution. For example, Thomas Jefferson did not use the F-type S in his original draft of the Declaration of Independence. Other writers continued to use it well into the 19th century.
Note how both the letters and numbers slant to the right 54 degrees from the horizontal baseline. (See figures). Figure 4 shows a common way arabic numbers were written in the 18th century and a common symbol, the ampersand. Note that numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 descend below the baseline an equal distance, while the numbers 1, 2, 6, 8, and 0 stay above the line.
There are many variations of the copperplate alphabet; often several styles are collected in one copybook. The two alphabets shown in Figures 1 and 2 are from the Universal Penman and represent two typical 18th century styles.
A good way to learn authentic 18th century copperplate is to copy the script in copybooks printed in the 18th century. This, of course, is exactly the way 18th century children, ladies, and gentlemen learned to write copperplate. George Bickham's 1743 publication, The Universal Penman, is one of the better copybooks and should be available from Dover Publications.
You should not become discouraged if you find that your copperplate is not as beautiful as the copybook examples. There are good reasons for this. First, the writing in the copybooks was not done with a quill pen. The writing examples were engraved backwards (using a mirror) by an expert, talented and practiced engraver, using a steel graver on a copper plate. The copper plate was then inked and the pages of the copybook were printed from the inked sheet of copper (thus, the source of the name "copperplate" calligraphy). Second, a steel graver makes a cleaner line on a copper plate than a quill will make on laid paper, even of the finest quality. Finally, the copybook examples are an art form called calligraphy, a word meaning "beautiful writing". Educated people of the 18th century copied these examples to improve their handwriting; an exact reproduction of the examples in the copybooks represented an ideal, a polar star, by which the student was guided; however, like modern handwriting, everyday 18th century handwriting seldom rose to the level of "calligraphy".
Referring to his attempts at self-improvement, Benjamin Franklin wrote in his autobiography, "As those who aim at perfect Writing by imitating the engraved copies, tho' they never reach the wish'd for Excellence of those Copies, their Hand is mended by the Endeavor, and is tolerable while it continues fair & legible" (Franklin pp. 115-116). Likewise, if you practice copying the 18th century examples from the copybooks, then your handwriting, too, may be improved or even become very beautiful.
An excellent way to keep your lines straight and at the proper slant is to use guide paper with 54º slanting lines. Simply lay your stationery over the guide paper. You may also accustom yourself to the shape of the letters and to writing at a 54º angle by tracing over the letters on tracing paper.
A fast way to learn copperplate script is to write the capital and lower case letters one hundred times each with a ball-point pen. Once that is done, you should have each letter imprinted into your brain, hand and eye; then you may find it easier to use a quill or flexible steel nib when you begin emphasizing the downstrokes by slight pressure increase. Modern books on copperplate tell you to draw the letters, a section at a time. If your goal is only to write letters in the 18th century style, I would just write them as you would cursive writing.
If you are interested in 18th century handwriting, you will find a great wealth of useful information in two books written by Joyce Irene Whalley, who was a member of the staff of The National Art Library, Ancient Manuscripts Division, of the Victoria and Albert Museum London, England.

April 12th, 2011 at 9:49 am
No, fillers finished in the last episode.

April 12th, 2011 at 9:51 am
very coooooool great seed =]
April 12th, 2011 at 10:01 am
go go Bleachy Rangers doo doo doo doo doo lol
April 12th, 2011 at 10:02 am
What zhaoyun99 say? I want to know so I can have a good chuckle before you ban him lol
April 12th, 2011 at 10:10 am
how many fillers are left?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:11 am
Can't download!!!
April 12th, 2011 at 10:16 am
I think this is suppose to be the beginning of An Arc and not a filler.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:20 am
I think what commander`A is trying to tell you guys is that the fillers ended last episode. Now it the new arc :D
April 12th, 2011 at 10:33 am
720p version is broken starting @ 08:20 in, anyone else experiencing it?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:34 am
Anyone else have the audio get horridly out of sync about 9 minutes in?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:38 am
i have the same problem, 720p at the middle of the ep out of sync / lag
April 12th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Yes. Problems, so shut up til someone fixes them. I'm sure v2 will be out soon.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:45 am
same problem , after 8-9m on 720p video and audio geting out of sync + stoping at some point of laging … is 480p having same problem ?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:48 am
480p is fine without any problems !
April 12th, 2011 at 10:52 am
yeah just DLed 480p, its perfectly fine.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:52 am
@ randall-san
wow typical internet-tough-guy, ur so pro mang… NOT!
u just made urself look PATHETIC
April 12th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Thank you sazuzaki. And yeah, 480 is good, like sazuzaki says.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:55 am
This episode confused me a bit..
April 12th, 2011 at 11:06 am
For those who dont know its a FILLER arc
April 12th, 2011 at 11:09 am
this is a fill in arc not as the no story parts but still not as the original manga story so this should be good for a season or so and it looks interesting =)
April 12th, 2011 at 11:24 am
It's a new filler arc.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:35 am
Got also the problem with the 720p version.
But yeah, it's a filler arc, but when I saw the new intro I thought this arc is looking interesting
April 12th, 2011 at 11:37 am
it's filler, it will probably be filler for quite a while. The new manga arc has maybe 5-6 episodes worth of plot. That's nowhere near enough to fill out a season. I would guess maybe 6-8 months of filler is likely.
if you want to know when the fillers end just go to ANN and check the upcoming episode titles. Non filler usually matches the manga chaper titles.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:40 am
filler ends on ep 316. ep 317 should be new 'filler' arc (like bount and zanpakuto's)
April 12th, 2011 at 11:50 am
720p release. No audio en sub sync after round 8.55 minute
April 12th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
jeoma u were right of wht are u talking about even i had a problem in 8.55 min that some how it is not syunc at all and they need to fix the problem as soon as possible and i dont know about 480p but i will try and see if it has the same problem.
April 12th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
Even though it's a filler it looks like the animation and action will be on par with the non-fillers so now we just need something entertaining to happen.
April 12th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
It's just a filler. It has nothing to the manga story. Think!! Ichigo lost his powers after fight with Aizen! He is no more substitute shinigami.
April 12th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
this isnt filler, stop saying it's filler. He is GRADUALLY losing his powers, he didnt lose them all in one shot. and god dammit HorribleSubs, stop releasing bad quality episodes ;-;
April 12th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
thr 720p file seems to be broken at 8:36 … could you please check it out?
April 12th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
480P is fine.
And this is the beginning of an Arc that has not been mentioned in the manga. Doesn't mean it's less entertaining ^_^ I like it so far.
April 12th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
audio and video dont match, anyone else having this problem?
April 12th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
yep…. the 480p is fine… as for the arc… it's Bleach!!! it didn;t dissapoint yet :P and it does promise more than the zampacktou rebellion arc :D
April 12th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
waiting 720p v2
April 12th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
It's filler because it's not manga material. That's what filler is. If it wasn't filler it would be
the Lost Shinigami Rep arc with the fullbringers.
April 12th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
This seems like its gonna be an AWESOME Arc :D
April 12th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
So is this canon or what?
April 12th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
It's non-canon, I believe.
April 12th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
I guess it depicts the story between the moment when Aizen-dono was imprisoned and the moment when the manga starts its new chapter, a prequel, if you will, of the new chapter in the manga…So maybe it is semi-canon?!Amyways the intro was alluring…
April 12th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
btw is the 720p file fixed?
April 12th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
im not sure if its a filler but its a new arc at least. its right after that last real episode at least
April 12th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Well done Koga, or whoever it was. That's much better.
Hope this arc is high quality and keeps me interested
April 12th, 2011 at 4:53 pm
lmao koga is like "it's clean up time". hahaha Koga doesn't want to see anymore buffoonery on his screen from either parties lol
April 12th, 2011 at 4:53 pm
Stage 1: point out that topic needs to stop.
Stage 2: delete post
Stage 3: ban people for how ever long i feel like it.
please continue if you want banned
April 12th, 2011 at 5:14 pm
hey remember when Bleach didn't have fillers like this battle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUC9V8EXHOk , cause i don't :D
April 12th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
lol just download both and use the 480p for audio.
April 12th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Everything went a bit downhill after that arc. There were a few moments of awesomeness here and there (like when Ichigo first fights Grimmjow) but it's just losing it's touch lately. Even the manga is dragging a bit now, which is the reason we're needing fillers actually
April 12th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
^^Mr. Pro
You sir are a genius, I didn't think of that so I tainted a perfectly good 1st ep when I could of done it your way lol
April 12th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
Sorry koga. won't happen again
April 12th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
ok tthis might be a good arc.
and it really suck ichigo cant overexert himself
April 12th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I think Ichigo has more Transformations then Goku lol
Ichigo with Mask = SSJ1
Ichigo using Bankai = SSJ2
Ichigo Using Bankai w/ Mask = SSJ3
Ichigo Sword Stuck to Hand = SSJ4
Ichigo As A Mummy lol = SSJ5 Brolly
With more transformations to come lol
April 12th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Talking about DB got me thinking just now. question. When Gohan faced and killed Cell he was SSJ2 or 3 because I think 2. So we all know he got weaker as time passed but then got stronger due to the Elder Kai. What level was he since he wasn't SSJ and could that beat the 1 he was when he beat Cell as a kid. Sometimes when I think of Bleach I think of DB and these bizarre questions linger in my head lol
April 12th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
violated yea one thing any idea how he retaines his power he cant use his bankai barly : / with out gettign sick
April 12th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
you know what's funny is that I wanted to ask that same question but I just let it go. I was thinking like how did he did not lose a big chunk of energy using Bankai but then thought well that's Ichigo, he does a lot of things that's unimaginable possible. Ichigo has the blood of a Saijan running through him lol After every battle he becomes shyt face strong and even when he looks like he's dead, he will come out of a coma and kick the strongest guy in the village fanny pack like as if they never stood a chance in hell lol
April 12th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
except this episode showed he can bearly do bankai and still almost faint
April 12th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Yeah but in his state he shouldn't of been able to use bankai at all. His will to save them must of be uber strong lol But really who wants to die getting chewed up by a vacuum monster considering all the other real fighters he faced lol Tombstone reads "Ichigo Proud Warrior & Friend, but did we forget he died by a Giant Vacuum Out of All the Other Things He Could of Died From but A Vacuum Seriously…, Loved By All" lol

so all be careful downloading via the torrent. I did last week and got a e-mail from my ISP saying that they got contacted by a Co. that TV Tokyo hired.

Dang, anime companies hunting us torrenters down.

Stop saying that fillers end! Fillers mean that it has NOTHING to do with the manga. This is a filler. Only difference is that it's an arc filler. Meaning it still has NOTHING to do with the manga, but it has a story or plot. The others are single or double filler epis.

/sigh This is a FILLER ARC (good looking one too)<—–
the episodes after Aizen is defeated were single shot filler episodes
interesting enough with it being stated that is losing his powers we "could" say this fits within the 17month gap between the next main manga arc….. well diff vs manga timeline vs powers but /shrug fillers

its filler but not filler, its a prelude to what happens leading into manga.
