The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
McGrath's movie is simple and kind (and, thankfully, not shot on video but on lovely Super 16), gracefully providing us with the reality of up-and-coming boxing: five-round fights, all-important scores, no knockouts. (Someone attached subtitles as well, and they're totally extraneous.) Barrett's trajectory is exciting, but his tribe is hilariously, dryly Irish about the experiencewhen Francie trounces his first Brazilian opponent in Atlanta, the crowds back home barely manage to crack a smile. (McGrath's camera obviously stiffened everyone up, but there are scores of powerful goodbyes and thank-yous in which the Barretts and Francie's coach Chick Gillen cannot bring themselves to show emotion at all.) When Francie finally loses in Atlanta, it's as if the home front knew not to get too excited, and were privately thankful that further demonstrations would not be necessary.
Price of Glory
Directed by Carlos Avila
Written by Phil Berger
A New Line release
But what price glory? Whatever the cost, it's a debt unpaid by the platoon of guileless hacks who assembled Price of Glorynot that the title or ads are fooling anyone. ("For every dream there is a sacrifice"guess whose?) An exasperating ordeal by cliché and schmaltz, Carlos Avila's Chicano Rocky saga begins in a punch-drunk stumble: Failed boxer Arturo (Jimmy Smits) bullies his three prepubescent sons into the ring, and we're subjected to a symphonically hallowed montage of their training that would shame John Avildsen. The three sons grow up (to be stoic Jon Seda, testy Clifton Collins Jr., and oaken Ernesto Hernandez) and get caught in a variety of mild conflicts with their glowering papa (so ill-conceived as a character he launches into hot-headed tirades for no apparent reason) on their way to tragedy or title fights or both.
Phil Berger, a former New York Times sportswriter, wrote the script, but the boxing in the movie is vintage-'80s crapthe winners hit, the unguarded losers get hit, and all of the boys' nasty opponents are baldingand the rise and fall of attempted dramatic action suggests tectonic-plate movement. Contrived and contrived sloppily, this self-adoring soap even manages to make its all-Hispanic cast seem unconvincingexcept for Seda, everyone sounds as if they learned their accents from watching The Perez Family.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still investigating the Iowa farm to try to find the source of contamination, though.
"Wright County Egg is fully cooperating with FDA's investigation by undertaking this voluntary recall," the company said in a statement. "Our primary concern is keeping salmonella out of the food supply and away from consumers."
Symptoms of salmonella-related illness could begin as many as three days after eating the eggs, and include fever, cramps and diarrhea, according to ABC News senior health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser. Cooking eggs thoroughly greatly reduces the risk of salmonella poisoning.
Salmonella contamination was among the leading causes of foodborne disease outbreaks in 2007, with poultry, beef and leafy greens among the most common foods involved, according to the CDC.
Salmonella outbreaks accounted for 142 of the bacterial outbreaks in 2007, including two of the three largest, according to a report from CDC researchers in the Aug. 13 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The outbreaks included 802 illnesses traced to tainted hummus, and 401 illnesses from frozen pot pies.
Rodents in food packaging and distribution facilities are the most common source of salmonella contamination.

Women feds less satisfied than men
Wednesday - 5/25/2011, 3:37pm EDT
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Women in the federal workforce are slightly less satisfied than their male counterparts. Especially when it comes to perceptions of fairness and feeling empowered.
The Partnership for Public Service analysed employee surveys conducted by the Office of Personnel Management. They found 66 percent of women reported overall workplace satisfaction, compared to almost 68 percent of male coworkers.
The MSPB validates the Partnership's finding, saying in a press release on a new report that, "Discrimination on the basis of sex, although less frequent, has not yet completely disappeared from Federal workplaces."
The separate report out from the Merit Systems Protection Board finds women now occupy about 30 percent of positions in the Senior Executive Service, up 19 percent since 1990.
"The glass ceiling has been fractured, but it has not been shattered," according to the MSBP. "The glass ceiling persists for reasons other than discrimination."
"Within a given occupation, women often have lower salaries than men," according to the MSPB, "and those salary differences cannot be fully explained by differences in measurable factors such as experience and education."
The Partnership points out it's not just salary where women and men differ. Women in management report being less satisfied (57.7 percent) than men (60.1 percent) in management in the category of work/life balance. Questions from the OPM survey in the work/life category include, "My workload is reasonable," "My supervisor supports my need to balance work and other life issues" and "I have sufficient resources (for example, people, materials, budget) to get my job done."
Across agencies, the Partnership noted a range of differences from one half of a percentage point at the Department of Justice to 10.9 percent on the issue of fairness at their agencies and from 0.2 percent at OPM to 10 percent at VA when it comes to empowerment.
Both the MSPB and the Partnership make similar recommendations. "Federal agencies and managers will need to look beyond past strategies to address contemporary concerns and attain and engage a high-performing, knowledge-based Federal workforce," said the MSPB.

Clayton Kershaw Rumors
Dodgers Notes: Kershaw, Puig, Crawford
Yesterday we learned that the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw are making progress on a contract extension that will be worth at least $180MM. In fact, deals for up to 12 years and $300MM have been discussed, in addition to the seven-year deal already being worked on. Here's more on the Dodgers' star pitcher and other news out of L.A…
- The Dodgers have been waiting for the resolution of their TV contract situation wtih Major League Baseball before picking up talks with Kershaw in earnest, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com (on Twitter). It initially appeared that the Dodgers' massive TV deal was going to be largely immune to revenue sharing, but they'll now have to kick in an additional $1B over the course of 25 years.
- In speaking with reporters, including Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times (on Twitter), Kershaw sounded upset with what he believed to be a leak from the organization and called it a "distraction".
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post recounted the bizarre story of how the Dodgers wound up signing Yasiel Puig, despite having very little intel on him. Within the story, Sherman writes that the Mets were never involved with him and the Yankees didn't make an offer.
- Not much of a surprise here, but manager Don Mattingly says that Puig will probably remain in the majors even if/when Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford return to action, tweets Hernandez.

Stark On Miguel Cabrera, Kershaw, Nolasco, Stanton
Jayson Stark's latest Rumblings & Grumblings column for ESPN came out yesterday; here are some highlights.
- There have been enough informal conversations between Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers on a contract extension that both sides expect a deal to get done, a friend of the player tells Stark. The tricky part is that a new deal would begin with the 2016 season, at which point Cabrera will be 33. It seems likely that Cabrera would need an average annual value in the $30MM range, but Stark's sources picture anywhere from three to five additional years.
- Some of Stark's sources don't consider Yankees second baseman and #1 2014 free agent Robinson Cano the type of player to build a team around. One exec, though, told Stark, "I can't imagine him leaving."
- Stark hears Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw seeks a ten-year deal, which would be the first for a pitcher since Wayne Garland signed a ten-year, $2.3MM deal in 1977 (those were different times). One exec can't possibly see Kershaw leaving L.A., and could picture $200-210MM over seven years. Even that would be well beyond C.C. Sabathia's record seven-year, $161MM deal, which was signed on the open market with the Yankees after the '08 season and included an opt-out clause. I feel that Kershaw's agents at Excel Sports Management have to score an opt-out in any new deal, especially with the Dodgers giving them to Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu.
- One exec suggests the Angels offer Mike Trout the Buster Posey deal, which amounted to eight years and $159MM in new money. Stark says "folks around the game" do not see Trout signing, however.
- The Orioles and Yankees are "leading the parade of teams that already have interest" in Miami's Ricky Nolasco. The 30-year-old is easily the highest-paid Marlin, and should have about $7.7MM remaining on his contract at the trade deadline. Nolasco has a 3.61 ERA in 82 1/3 innings, and sports his best strikeout rate since 2010.
- Would anyone sign Alex Rodriguez, if the Yankees end up releasing him? "No chance," says one executive.
- The Marlins have shown no interest in dealing right fielder Giancarlo Stanton midseason, say clubs that have inquired, though Stark thinks Marcell Ozuna's emergence could push them toward trading Stanton this winter. Stanton should return from a hamstring injury next week.

West Notes: Kershaw, Rockies, Rangers, Astros
Credit Dodgers' scouting director Logan White for ensuring that Clayton Kershaw's big league successes have come in a Dodger uniform, says Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. The club had targeted Kershaw and Evan Longoria in the 2006 draft, but were worried that neither would last until the team's seventh overall pick. Several pieces had to fall into place: Luke Hochevar failed to sign in 2005, leading to his being taken first overall the next year. Meanwhile, with many scouts on hand for the last pre-draft starts of Kershaw and Brad Lincoln, the former struggled while the latter dominated. Lincoln went fourth overall to the Pirates. According to White, with Longoria already off the board to the Rays, the Dodgers "were hoping and praying Clayton would get to us." That's just what happened: consensus top arm Andrew Miller fell, perhaps owing to signabilty concerns, and was nabbed by the Tigers at number six, leaving Kershaw for L.A. The decision to take Kershaw caused some initial consternation when Tim Lincecum, taken with the tenth pick by the rival Giants, began his career with a bang. Now, of course, the Dodgers (and their fans) could not be more pleased with their selection. Here are a few more notes from the leagues' western divisions:
- With the Rockies off to an up-and-down start, the Denver Post's Woody Paige has some harsh words for the team's ownership and management. He says that, with a top-12 attendance but a bottom-7 payroll, the club appears "content to produce a .500 team." Among the decisions Paige disagrees with are the team's apparent intention to rely on veteran pitchers like Roy Oswalt and Jon Garland while former top prospect Drew Pomeranz toils in Triple-A and Tyler Chatwood bounces between the minors and the big club. He also faults the club for going with the now-departed Chris Nelson and Reid Brignac instead of bringing up Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu to start the season. He warns that the Rockies could be in danger of losing the affections of stars Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Unhappy superstars can always cause problems by demanding a trade, of course, but it is worth noting that Colorado has no immediate need to sell its shortstop and left fielder on staying in town. Tulowitzki is inked through at least 2020 (with a 2021 club option), while Gonzalez is under contract through 2017.
- Despite four starters on the disabled list, the Rangers lead the American League in ERA (3.38). Richard Justice of MLB.com writes that the success of the pitching staff is attributable to GM Jon Daniels's efforts to create a deep, talented organization. Likewise, Justice praises Daniels's confidence to enter the season without prior stalwarts Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli, Mike Adams, and Koji Uehara, and to bring in veterans Lance Berkman and A.J. Pierzynski on one-year deals. The 37-year-old Berkman, in particular, has hit .299/.422/.465 in 154 plate appearances as the club's primary DH.
- Astros GM Jeff Luhnow says it is still too early for the club to narrow down its likely pick with the first choice in the upcoming amateur draft, tweets Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle. The club will likely have more clarity when it conducts staff meetings in early June, Smith further tweets.
- As the Astros gear up for an important draft, the club is holding a series of four regional player workouts, writes Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. According to scouting director Mike Elias, the workouts will allow the club to "get up close and personal with the process and see some guys further down the list." He further notes that the process was utilized with success by the Cardinals: "It really helps those players get drafted and helps us make better decisions in the draft."
- Meanwhile, Houston is beginning to see returns from its efforts to develop a pipeline of talent from the Dominican Republic. According to another tweet from Smith, Luhnow is excited about the first Dominican prospect that the club's efforts produced. Jose Cisnero, a right-hander that was originally signed in 2007, checked in at fifteenth on Baseball America's ranking of the club's prospects and has been pitching from the club's bullpen this year.

NL West Notes: Kershaw, Padres, Rockies
Earlier today, Tim Dierkes took a look at the Rockies' offseason as one of the final entries in MLBTR's Offseason In Review series. Here's a look around the rest of the division…
- One baseball official tells Jon Heyman of CBS Sports that talks between Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers have already surpassed the $200MM mark. Kershaw has "everything going for him" in the negotiations, writes Heyman.
- Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes that formerly promising Padres Chris Young, Jason Bay and Kevin Kouzmanoff are now simply fighting to save their Major League careers.
- Within that same piece, Jenkins notes that Josh Rutledge is the 13th different Opening Day second baseman for the Rockies in 13 seasons. Not since Mike Lansing in 1999-2000 have the Rox had a second baseman open two straight seasons with the club.
- In his most recent Minor League report, Baseball America's Matt Eddy notes that the Rockies have signed GM Dan O'Dowd's son, Chris O'Dowd. The younger O'Dowd was released by the Padres in March after being a 23rd-round selection in the 2012 Draft.

Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers Discussing Deal
Pitcher Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers are discussing a contract extension, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The news that Kershaw and the Dodgers are talking about a deal comes on the heels of big new contract extensions for Justin Verlander and Buster Posey.
Heyman notes that Kershaw could be in an even better negotiating position than Verlander was, given that he is only 25 and the Dodgers have shown a willingness to spend freely. Kershaw is slated to become a free agent after the 2014 season. The only downside for Kershaw, Heyman notes, is that he is slated to make $11MM this year and is arbitration-eligible in 2014, whereas Verlander was already under contract for $40MM through 2014 before his extension. Verlander's deal made him the highest-paid pitcher in MLB history. Depending on the length of the extension, Kershaw would be likely to exceed Verlander's $180MM deal.

West Notes: Kershaw, Dodgers, Young, Wells, Booty
Commissioner Bud Selig weighed in on the Houston Astros' strategy and payroll, saying that the organization has "chosen the path with some very qualfied people" and that he "think[s] they're doing it the right way." ESPN's Buster Olney writes (Insider sub. req'd) that baseball should be more cautious in endorsing what he characterizes as a "strategy to lose." Of course, it remains to be seen how the major league club will compete this season in what figures to be a tough AL West.
- With today's news of a big extension for Adam Wainwright, attention could turn to another ace who could be extended: the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw. According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, however, Kershaw does not want to keep negotiations open past spring training and is staying quiet as to whether there has been any progress. Hernandez also notes that Kershaw's agents, Casey Close and J.D. Smart, visited Dodger camp a week ago but were not not actively discussing a Kershaw extension.
- The time is now for the Dodgers to decide what to do with their excess starting pitching, writes Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles TImes. Aaron Harang, for one, may have thrown his last pitch in Dodger blue. While Harang's tepid spring is a deterrent, Dilbeck notes that the righty threw well last season and should draw suitors.
- Chris Young could sign with the Angels, tweets Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, who also notes that the Mets are highly unlikely to sign him. The righty is back on the market after opting out of his contract with the Nationals.
- Mariners manager Eric Wedge says a decision between outfielders Casper Wells and Jason Bay will be made soon, leading Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times to posit that Wells could already have been put on waivers. If Wells is indeed put on waivers, he would be an option for the Phillies, tweets Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
- The Diamondbacks have released Josh Booty, who earned a non-roster invite as the winner of "The Next Knuckler," the team announced on Twitter. The former QB was originally drafted by the Marlins fifth overall back in 1994 before he retired to pursue football, which meant that he was still technically under Marlins control when he joined Arizona for the spring.

NL West Notes: Theriot, Kershaw, Kunz
Free agent infielder Ryan Theriot is interested in playing this season, but only if he's likely to get substantial playing time, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. If Theriot doesn't find a job he likes as a player, he is open to retiring, or becoming an agent. "I've had some stuff come up, no doubt. It's not really exactly what I'm looking for playing-time-wise," Theriot says. Theriot collected 384 plate appearances for the Giants in 2012, and the Giants are currently looking for infield help. But after the signing of Marco Scutaro, they appear unable to provide Theriot with as much playing time as he'd like. Here are more notes from the NL West.
- Clayton Kershaw's agents, Casey Close and J.D. Smart, were at the Dodgers' training site Wednesday, which could mean that Kershaw and the Dodgers are negotiating a contract extension, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick suggests. Close and Smart also represent Zack Greinke, however, and the pair watched Greinke pitch a minor-league game Wednesday. (10:15: Kershaw's agents were on hand at the Dodgers' training facility to watch Greinke pitch, and not to negotiate an extension for Kershaw, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.)
- The Padres have released pitcher Eddie Kunz, MLB.com's Corey Brock reports (on Twitter). The Mets made Kunz the No. 42 overall pick in the 2007 draft. He pitched in 2012 for Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Tucson, posting a 5.77 ERA in 87 1/3 innings. He made four appearances in the big leagues with the Mets in 2008.

NL Notes: Pirates, Nationals, Cardinals, Kershaw
With Spring Training in full swing, wonderful stories from present and past are always emerging. Take Rays starter Chris Archer, who is not just fighting for a spot on Tampa Bay's opening-day roster, but is on a quest for self-discovery. (As told by Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.) Or today's matchup between former and current Padres workhorses Jake Peavy and Clayton Richard, who were traded for one another back at the 2009 trade deadline. (Courtesy of Corey Brock of MLB.com.) Or, going back further still, recall Roberto Clemente, whose presence was felt strongly in Fort Myers, FL during his playing days and lives on vividly today. (From David Dorsey of News-Press.com.) On to some National League notes …
- While there was never a question who would cover the right-field grass for Pittsburgh when Clemente was roaming Forbes Field, the team must find someone to man that role in 2013. Jose Tabata has shown hustle and power this spring that have exceeded the Pirates' expectations, Tom Singer of MLB.com writes. Still just 24 years old, Tabata's strong showing thus far has only further complicated Pittsburgh's right field situation. As Singer explains, in addition to Tabata and trade-deadline acquisition Travis Snider (who the team hopes will lay claim to the position), the Pirates are considering options like Clint Robinson, Jerry Sands, Alex Presley, Garrett Jones, Felix Pie, Darren Ford, and Brad Hawpe.
- Also making a surprising impression in Pirates camp is right-handed reliever Brooks Brown, who Singer says has emerged as an unexpected favorite to earn a spot in the Bucs' bullpen. Brown was selected by Arizona in the first round back in 2006, but has yet to make a big league appearance.
- Another darkhorse bullpen candidate who appears to be making strong moves towards a roster spot is the Nationals' Fernando Abad. As reported by The Washington Post's Adam Kilgore, with fellow left-handed relievers Bill Bray, Will Ohman, and Brandon Mann being sent to minor league camp, the 27-year-old minor-league-invitee Abad now stands as the most likely candidate to round out the Washington bullpen should the Nationals decide to keep another lefty alongside Zach Duke. (Ohman was apparently cut during today's game, just after his poor outing, according to Mark Townsend of Yahoo.)
- The Nationals also welcomed back catcher Wilson Ramos, who made his first appearance in a game since tearing his ACL early in the 2012 season, reports James Wagner of The Washington Post. Ramos will likely split time with Kurt Suzuki as soon as he is able to catch regularly.
- With Rafael Furcal being shut down indefinitely after a setback in his recovery from the elbow injury he suffered late last season, the Cardinals are planning what GM John Mozeliak is calling "an open competition" at shortstop, reports Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com. After emerging last season when Furcal went down, Pete Kozma will battle with veteran Ronny Cedeno for the starting job out of camp.
- The Dodgers' outstanding young starting pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, says that he is not thinking about whether or not he can top the Felix Hernandez contract, Tracy Ringolsby or MLB.com writes. Kershaw explains that he'll "play the game the same way" regardless of salary because "it's the best job you could have. … I talk to my buddies all the time. They are putting on suits and ties, and going to the office every day. I put on a uniform and play a game."

AL West Notes: Trout, Rangers, Felix
One American League executive told Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com that he'd be talking to Mike Trout about a "crazy-long deal" if he were running the Angels. Castrovince considers some possible comparables for extension talks, concluding that it probably makes sense for the Angels to wait before extending Trout. His leverage is high right now, even though he's arguably the best bargain in MLB.
Here are some more notes from the AL West…
- The Rangers announced that Jon Daniels has been promoted to president of baseball operations/general manager. Daniels, who became the club's GM in 2005, will still report to CEO Nolan Ryan.
- Daniels told Scott Miller of CBSSports.com that he's intent on being more than "the team that used to be good." The Rangers lost Mike Napoli, Josh Hamilton and Ryan Dempster to free agency, but Daniels isn't worried about the transition. "You've got to keep moving forward and not be afraid of change," Daniels said. The GM explained the importance of depth and noted that being the best team on paper doesn't guarantee success.
- The Rangers are among the teams still interested in free agent infielder Ryan Theriot, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). However, Theriot continues looking for more playing time.
- Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez recently established a new record for starting pitchers, signing a seven-year, $175MM contract. Hernandez told Heyman that he expects Clayton Kershaw will be the one to break the record because "he's a little younger" than other top pitchers. Hernandez suggested that Justin Verlander "might get the money, but less years.'' The Mariners ace said he helped other pitchers a bit, adding that he won't mind when another pitcher breaks his record.

NL West Notes: Goldschmidt, Kershaw, Crawford
No National League division has produced more pennant winners over the last 15 seasons than the NL West. The Giants have own three of those pennants (plus two World Series titles to boot) and the Padres, Rockies and Diamondbacks all have one each over that span. The Dodgers are the odd team out but they're sparing no expense to get back to the World Series as soon as possible. Here's the latest from around the division…
- The Diamondbacks are looking to re-open extension talks with Paul Goldschmidt before Opening Day, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Goldschmidt turned down the club's initial attempt to negotiate a few weeks ago, telling GM Kevin Towers that he wanted more time to establish value.
- The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw haven't yet begun serious negotiations about a long-term contract, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (via CBS Sports' Dayn Perry). The two sides hadn't even begun talking by mid-February and there is an unofficial deadline of Opening Day, as Kershaw says he doesn't want negotiations to drag into the season.
- If the Dodgers trade one of their extra starting pitchers, they could look to obtain a right-handed hitting outfielder in return to provide a backup plan if Carl Crawford struggles or isn't healthy, Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times opines.
- Brock Bond went from being an "accidental" draft pick in 2007 to reaching his first Major League Spring Training camp after six years in the Giants system, CSNBayArea.com's Andrew Baggarly writes.
- Over at Roto Authority, Steve Adams recently judged whether three NL West outfielders would be fantasy sleepers or busts in the coming season.

Confessional Notes
An Israeli designer crafts an unorthodox ritual object for Yom Kippur
Over the last few months, Tablet Magazine's art department has been investigating new trends in Judaica, inviting artists and designers to share their work with us. We're not quite ready to reveal our findings just yet, but there's one piece that struck our fancy and seemed particularly well-suited to the season: a xylophone bearing the words of the central Yom Kippur prayer Ashamnu. The piece, which takes its name from the Hebrew word for confession, is called Vidduy: The Musical and was created by Dov Abramson, a 35-year-old American-born, Israel-raised graphic designer.
"Being primarily a conceptual instrument, Vidduy: The Musical is not tuned to a standard key but does play tonal music when struck," Abramson wrote in an email. "This is aligned with the concept of a 'free-form' confession, and holds a vague reference to the famous Hasidic tale of the boy who brings his flute to synagogue (even though it is prohibited to play, or even carry, a musical instrument on the holiday)—and the Rabbi says that this child's flute sounds reached higher in the heavens than all of the other congregants' 'standard' prayers."
On a purely visual level, Vidduy appears austere and unadorned when compared with much of what's offered in today's Judaica shops. "The vast majority of people still equate Jewish visuals with a very limited spectrum of design, form, color, and type," Abramson wrote. "That's why I take so much pleasure in seeing the amazement in a person's eyes when they see a Torah pointer in the form of a screwdriver, or a Kiddush cup that doesn't look like 'what a Kiddush cup is supposed to look like'; and even though I consider myself an old-school kind of guy, and my work stems and feeds off of these ancient traditions, I take much pride in being one of those designers who are exploring the boundaries of Jewish visuals and design."
Indeed, in exploring Abramson's broader body of work, it becomes clear that his inspiration comes from boundaries—both respecting and pushing them. Whether describing a mitzvah through instructions printed on a can or spontaneously organizing a minyan, rules are put to the test and presented in the context of everyday life. "Coming from an Orthodox background and studying in yeshiva for many years, I found Jewish knowledge to be expansive and vast—almost to a point where it is incomprehensible. I think that's why I find comfort in lists, structures, and boundaries. I myself noticed only inadvertently that my work seeks a given structure (i.e., the 613 mitzvot, the 22 letters of the alphabet in the Vidduy piece, the 10 people for a minyan etc.). I also find the tension between abstract theological ideas and limited, non-flexible boundaries to be fascinating and thought-provoking."
Vidduy: The Musical can be viewed this October as part of an exhibition in the Judaica wing of the Ein Harod Museum in Israel.

Interesting Facts About Halloween
Halloween is Coming! These days, we either equate Halloween with kids seeking candy or girls using the day as an excuse to dress like prostitutes. But there's a lot more to this mysterious celebration than that.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Under the bright blue and sunny skies of this California city, the Avalanche will try to find an early Christmas present of two points Monday night against the San Jose Sharks.
"We're playing for fifth place in the conference against San Jose. It's a big opportunity for our team," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "We're going to have to play the same way we did in L.A. the other day."
For the Avs, that means being good in their own zone and not turning the puck over. The Sharks, like the Kings, have lots of big, skilled forwards, led by 34-year-old center Joe Thornton — who always seems to get at least one point in any game against the Avs.
"We need to be good defensively. If you take one shift off against a team like San Jose, it's in the back of your net," Avs winger P.A. Parenteau said.
Semyon Varlamov will start for the Avs against Antti Niemi. It's the first meeting of the season for the Avs against the Sharks, who started the season red hot but lately have come down to earth some. San Jose is 3-5-1 in the last nine games, but if anything that makes them even more dangerous.
"They're going to want to get back to winning and they'll be desperate," Parenteau said. "We have to be the same way, and even more."

Amazing beach house in prime location
Easy walking distance to Sharks Cove. Even though the beach access goes right out to lava rock from the house, it's not treacherous to walk on. If you choose not to take that route, walk down maybe 100 yards to next public beach access and BOOM you're on beautiful uncrowded sandy beaches.
About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the manager
This place really gave us an inside look into local life on the North Shore. For us it beat every single tourist attraction in the city. The layout of the house is beautiful in every way. Just down the road we saw sea turtles and over at the bay dolphins. We look forward to coming back someday- it breaks our heart to leave the North Shore after staying here. Mahalo

Amazing Beach House
North Shore 2 BR
You get more what you pay for!
The house is definitely more than what you'd expect for your money. Its location is super convenient, right on the beach, but close to a grocery store and a highway. There's Waimea Bay a few mins away - one of the best beaches in HI that's children friendly, and also Shark's Cove in front of the house - a great snorkeling location. If you're into surfing - there's Bonzei Pipeline, most famous surfing location just a few mins away up the shore. There are surf shops located minutes away from the house.
Our favorite part about the house was its size and the view. The house is very specious, with a very big kitchen. There was a washer/dryer machine that was used quite frequently.
There's a bed outside on the patio that I slept on at night, an amazing experience I won't ever forget. While we were in HI it rained for 2 days, but we didn't mind just staying inside the house. Very comfortable with amazing ocean view where we saw some great whales every now and then.
Definitely coming back to Northshore, and hopefully this house will be available again for rental!
Amazing Location with Amazing Views
The house was clean when we arrived, the beds are comfortable and clean and there are plenty of basics (pots/pans, smoothie maker, grill, plates, glasses, etc) to get you by the week. Listening to the ocean waves at night was also a nice way to fall asleep.
The owner is also great and we kept close contact with her if we needed anything. I highly recommend this spot. The north shore is far better than waikiki since there is hardly any commercial development, the beaches aren't crowded, and there are far less tourists so you get a real feel for living on the north shore.
This spot is definitely a five star location and the price although expensive is far less than any of the other 2 br beach front properties that I found in the Sunset beach area.
Ke Iki Beach House
Watched the whales from the lanai each morning and enjoyed the sunsets at night.
Counting the days until we return!
Activity and Interests
Located at Pupukea Marine Santuary in between Waimea Bay (1 Mile) and Sunset Beach (1 Mile). Walking distance to Three Tables, Banzai Pipleline, and 7 Mile Bicycle Path connecting North Shore Beaches. Summers: Shark's Cove is a Top Hawaiian Dive and Snorkel spot. Winters: Big Waves and Whale Watching. Walking distance to coffee shop, grocery store, and food trucks.

The engine may develop a misfire due to worn valve seats. This fault will cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us the misfire may or may not be felt while driving. They further recommend that both cylinder heads be removed and thoroughly inspected and repaired as necessary.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.

MOSCOW: The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) voiced concern over the situation in Pakistan and the risk of its nuclear weapons falling into terrorist hands.
"The situation in Pakistan, which possesses nuclear weapons, is the cause of growing concern of the SCO member-states," said a senior Russian security official.
"The situation in Pakistan is growing more explosive, with authorities controlling less and less territory," said Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Vladimir Nazarov, briefing the media on a meeting of the SCO security chiefs in Moscow on Wednesday.
"The SCO states have legitimate worries that nuclear weapons in Pakistan may fall into the hands of terrorists," he said. The SCO security chiefs also urged Pakistan to eliminate the terrorist-training camps on its territory. "We know who have set up those bases. It is up to them to clear this devil's nest now," said Russia's Deputy Secretary .
The SCO took the view that the NATO coalition forces in Afghanistan must pay more attention to the problems of Pakistan, said Mr. Nazarov.
"First of all, they should stop foreign aid to Pakistan ending up in the pockets of terrorists," said the Russian official. The SCO states agreed to seek greater involvement of the SCO observers — India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan — in setting up anti-narcotics security belts around Afghanistan. The recommendations of the SCO security chiefs will be discussed at the organisation's summit in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on June 15-16.

I coach high school teams and also teach on my own. One book that I've read (more than once) has been the single best thing to advance my understanding of "head management". It's Vic Braden's book,
Mental Tennis
. As both a player and a coach, this read has been invaluable for me.
The one thing that constantly echoed in the back of my head pretty much every time I'd finish a section of this book was something along the lines of "man, I wish I had this book back when I was in high school". It's full of exactly the wisdom you seem to be looking for here. I've passed copies of it along to other adults and also a couple of the kids I've coached and I've caught nothing but positive feedback from everyone.

Romans 4:16-18 (AMP)
Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all.
As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed. [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, so [numberless] shall your descendants be.
Inheriting the Promises of God is the outcome of faith that is secure and hope that is realized. The outcome of our faith depends on one's ability to believe. If you believe, you will receive everything that the Lord has promised you as an inheritance. It is an act of grace releasing the unmerited yet highly coveted Favor of God. God made Abraham such an inheritor based solely on the fact that He believed by faith maintaining hope in the Lord. Abraham believed that God was the giver of life and that so this man spoke "the nonexistent things" into existence based on the Word of God. Humanly speaking, Abraham was a dead man and well past his years of reproduction. But by the Spirit, He was flourishing in faith so Abraham dared to believe when it was beyond human comprehension. Abraham received the promise of God and became the father of many nations. When human hope is gone, true hope is realized.
Each and every time I think I have reached the end of faith leaning on the parameter of hope, God pulls out all the stops to get my attention. Just about the time that I think I get it or right before I give up, the Lord allows my faith to be stretched and hope to be drilled deeper into the source of life and power – Jesus Christ. Abraham believed in God by faith in the fact that He could operate well beyond human ability and comprehension. He believed that if God said it, then that settles it. I wish faith was always that easy for me. But truthfully there are days that I stand at the base of the mountain shouting for it to move failing to do so, I am perplexed at the notion of faith and premise of this thing called hope. How did Abraham do it? I had come to terms with the fact that in our journey to full restoration by God that my son would have to go up the mountain, but I never imagined the enemy would try to keep us from the mountain. But that is exactly what he did by placing barricades around the mountain forbidding us access. Fear keeps those obstacles in place but faith tears them apart so that we can easily step over them. Doubt fortifies the barriers in our life but faith melts them like wax in the midst of a flame. God is calling us to the mountain today.
Mark 11:23-24 (AMP)
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
Let me ask you a question, do you really think the mountain is going to move in your life? When you pray do you fully expect the obstacle or oppression that you are facing to be removed? Do you doubt that God's Spirit lives in you as a guarantee that God's Power will prevail in your midst? I can honestly say that there have been times that I was praying the right things, hoping for them with all my heart, but did not believe that God would do it. We pray words. But words that are not backed by a faith-filled heart are just empty requests. True faith is evidenced by agreement between what we believe in our heart and the confession of our mouth. (Romans 10:8-10) If your heart truly believes, then the words that you speak will relay the message. But if you do not believe, it will tell the truth about your heart's view of God's Power and Purpose for our life. It is one thing to say we believe in God, it is another to say that we have faith in God, but it is entirely another to confess with our mouth nonexistent things as though they are a reality. True confession is to say what God is telling you that He will do in your life before He does it with total faith that He will make it come to pass. I believe therefore I have spoken. (2 Corinthians 4:13-14) It used to chafe me when people would say or even worse pray, "Lord if it is your Will heal this person." Of course it is God's Will to heal you or He would not have allowed His Son to be beaten savagely to provide it for His People. Yet how many times have I prayed for the Lord to heal me or my family without confessing it over their life because I really didn't believe that He would do it? Whatever you ask in prayer AND believe with trust and confidence that He will do is granted to you and you will get it. There does not seem to be a lack of confidence on God's Part so what about you? Hope is realized when we not only profess our faith but express our belief through the confession of our mouth. It's okay! Put God out there. He doesn't mind doing what His Word says that He will do. In fact, that was His Plan all along. He is just waiting for your faith to become belief which releases His Promise to you!
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (AMP)
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
We should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Do make alliances, partnerships and friendships with those of unequal faith. This is not talking about relationships in general. But when it comes to the promotion of one's faith and realizing the Promises and Plan of God, it will require relationships with those who believe the same way that you do. We are to live in partnership with Jesus Christ. We go where He goes and He is with us always even to the ends of the earth. He invites us to take His Yoke. A yoke couples two animals together to complete a task on a farm. Jesus Christ wants to partner with us to fulfill His Plan and Purpose for our life. Those who accept this invitation live by faith and trust solely and completely in the Power of God. Jesus promises that the burden will be light for those who do this. He says that you will find rest, relief, ease and refreshment. (Matthew 11:29-30) So why are you struggling? The Holy Spirit lives in all believers. If you decide to partner with fellow believers, it will stir up the Spirit within each of you. Such people will encourage you and confirm the promises of God for your life. (Luke 1:35-48) Like Mary and Elizabeth, the Spirit will leap within you when it encounters another who lives by the Spirit worshipping the Lord in Spirit and Truth. Such people will provoke you to more faith, the relationship will produce confident hope as you build one another up in holiness, obedience, righteousness and truth. God will place other people in your path to fortify your position of faith in right standing as you put all your faith and trust in the Lord. This will produce confident hope that will be an anchor for your soul. His Spirit lives in you longing to connect with the Power of God in others. His Spirit is God's Guarantee that we are set to inherit the Kingdom and Unmerited Favor of God through Jesus Christ! (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Galatians 3:22 (AMP)
But the Scriptures [picture all mankind as sinners] shut up and imprisoned by sin, so that [the inheritance, blessing] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ (the Messiah) might be given (released, delivered, and committed) to [all] those who believe [who adhere to and trust in and rely on Him].
The Word of God is our promise book. It used be our death sentence before Jesus Christ paid the price of our debt in full. Now we are set to inherit every blessing set forth in it. Faith in Jesus Christ makes it all possible for those who believe it enough to receive it. So why are Christians not flourishing in faith and confident hope living on the blessings of God? They do not know the Word. The Book of Instruction set forth with purpose that we could claim our inheritance is a forgotten treasure. For five years now, I have spent countless hours in the Word of God studying, searching and saturating my life in it only to find that each day I discover something knew that I did not know, understand or see before and I am not convinced that at the end of my life, I will have full understanding. So rather than become a Bible scholar of any sort, I am seeking to intensify my relationship with Jesus Christ, promote faith and confident hope in God and prosper my belief. I want to know Him more so I will trust Him more. It is impossible to know the Character of God and not know His Word. The Spirit will tell us about God but until we decide to allow Him in our life as the Bread and sustenance of our existence we will never be satisfied.
Hebrews 6:11-14 (AMP)
But we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of [your] hope until the end, In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, saying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.
Faith is nothing more than leaning our entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His Power, Wisdom and Goodness. This is indeed a lofty pursuit. God has complete authority. His Power is supreme. My belief does not empower God or Jesus but it strengthens me with His Power. My faithfulness does not affect His Faithfulness in the slightest. (2 Timothy 12:13) His Plan was in place long before I was born. It is by choice that I align my life with God's Plan which is my freedom again granted by God. Jesus Christ remains the same. Faith changes me and my position. Just a soldier goes through basic training, so it is in a believer's life. We must be conditioned and reconditioned to align our heart, mind and body with our soul in pursuit of God through Jesus Christ. We practice our faith by patient endurance and waiting while fully expecting God's Power and Presence to permeate our life. Faith calls out in affliction for relief that seems elusive but knowing full well that the Lord is faithful to rescue us from the pits in life and restore us from His Riches in Heaven. (Psalm 116:4-10) It is in trials and hardships that we learn to trust and rely on our faith in God more and respect His Authority in our insufficiency to save ourselves. The centurion understood authority. It dictated his life as a soldier so it was natural for him to extend it to the Lord of his life. (Matthew 8:5-10) Faith respects the power and authority of God inviting it to come closer humbly respecting its awesomeness at the same time and humbled by its attention to a lesser one. Righteousness recognizes God's Authority and worships in that place. (Galatians 3:4-6) Belief in God by faith puts confident hope in God's Authority and Power as supreme over our situation and praises Him before He comes knowing that with just His Word – all things are accomplished. When my words align with God's Word – they are backed by His Power and Authority if I will only believe!
John 20:26-29 (AMP)
Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me.
How long have you been waiting? Thomas waited eight days. I have been waiting almost two and a half years. Those who live by faith in the wait will see the Power of God. In fact, the Word of God tells us that those who have faith yet have never seen the Lord yet believed, trusted and relied on Him are blessed, happy and to be envied. I want that kind of faith. The kind of faith that knows He is coming long before He arrives. I want to prepare my life with praise so that when He comes He will know that I trust His Power and Authority for all things in my life. I want the blessings of God. I believe they are for me. Now I will open my mouth and call those things into existence confidently by faith now that I have realized my hope is in the Lord. I want to believe Him before He comes. I want to have faith before the outcome. This is to realize one's hope and remain confident in it. Life before the outcome delineates our faith. The Favor of God is the reward of such faith. I want the Presence and Power of God in full operation in my life. (Philippians 3:10-11)
I John 4:15-17 (AMP)
Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God. And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.
Why? Why does God want His Favor to reach me? The answer is simple – God loves me! Believing God loves me is impossible without faith in Jesus Christ because I will remain subject to judgment outside of salvation. But once I accept God's Grace and step into right standing aligning my life with the Lord once more, His Love is overwhelming. When my faith cooperatives with God's Power, His Authority takes over the outcomes in my life. (James 2:18-22) Hope is realized. His Name is Jesus.
I John 5:4-6 (AMP)
For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]? This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [His baptism and His death], Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit is the Truth.

Federal court orders end to "don't ask, don't tell"
"SLDN welcomes this positive step forward," the emailed statement said. "But all of this confusion over the enforcement of DADT could have been ended months ago -- with certification, in the process laid out in the repeal legislation passed last year."
Under the law passed and signed by the president in December, final implementation would go into effect 60 days after the president and his senior defense advisers certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' ability to fight.
In February, the Obama administration announced that it would stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act — the 1996 law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages. The White House said its new position is that the law is unconstitutional.

The Bible is the most quoted book in the western world, and likely the most misunderstood. It is often thought to be little more than religious mythology, or a collection of moral and ethical guidelines, or a series of quaint but irrelevant legends.
But what if the Bible were read on its own terms, as a highly personal and unbelievably passionate love story? What if the Bible is really a wild tale of relentless pursuit, the diary of a God who can't bear to be separated… (mehr)

used to generate electricity. These systems are expected to have conversion efficiencies similar to those of solar tower concentrators, although dish concentrator systems have not yet been successfully commercialized.
Dish concentrators with a combined capacity of more than 1,700 MW are being developed; over 35 percent of them are in the Asia Pacific region.42 These systems require that an efficient and inexpensive generator be developed on a much smaller scale than that needed for tower systems. These systems lack the centralized storage capability of the power tower approach, and thus alternate storage methods must be employed to store power.
Some research is being conducted on the possibility of integrating CPV and CSP systems. In a photovoltaic system, the energy that is not converted into electrical power is dissipated as heat, which has the potential to be recycled, especially in a concentrated photovoltaic system. This waste heat can either be recycled to generate more electricity or can serve a variety of other uses, such as the heating of water.43 The primary difficulty is that most PV chips become less efficient as they increase in temperature. Wide-bandgap materials will work better for solar cells at higher temperatures, but there will still be a loss of efficiency.44 Researchers at Stanford University are conducting research on a "photovoltaic-like" device that becomes more efficient at higher temperatures, which would be ideal for integration into a hybrid system.45 The Stanford approach, also discussed in a paper by Andrews et al.,46 has calculated efficiencies for an idealized device, which can exceed the theoretical limits of single-junction photovoltaic cells. The device is based on thermionic emission of photoexcited electrons from a semiconductor cathode at high temperature. Temperature-dependent photoemission-yield measurements from gallium nitride (GaN) show strong evidence for photon-enhanced thermionic emission.

Collectible Mint State 62 1813 Five Dollar Gold1813 $5 MS62 NGC. B. 1-A, Miller-119, R.3. The two reverse dies for 1813 are very similar, but Miller-119 has the S in STATES is slightly further from the left edge of the scroll. The Capped Head Left design made its debut in 1813, and type set collectors are thankful that a few examples from the first year of production were saved for subsequent generations. The vast majority of the mintages of this type were melted by speculators, since the bullion value exceeded face. Offered here is a particularly well preserved example, with frosty reddish-golden surfaces that are equally sharp from side to side. Only the presence of a few wispy field marks keeps this splendid 1813 Five from an even loftier rating. (#8116) (NGC ID# 25PM, PCGS# 8116)

Four personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) were killed on the spot and three injured in a landmine blast by Maoists in Koraput district of south Odisha on Tuesday morning.
According to police, the blast occurred on NH 26 at a culvert between Sakirai and Kauguntha villages near Ralegada of Sunki ghat under Pottangi police station limits around 9 a.m.
The BSF personnel were on leave and on their way in three vehicles to Visakhapatnam from Balimela area of Malkangiri district to board trains. Each vehicle was carrying seven BSF personnel. A man, who escaped unhurt, said their vehicles were first fired at by ultras hiding on a nearby hill. The BSF personnel fired back. However, their third vehicle was blasted while crossing the culvert.
The vehicle was thrown off the road and was destroyed. Two of the injured were in a serious condition and they were being shifted to Visakhapatnam for treatment. The other injured was being shifted to a Koraput hospital.
Koraput Superintendent of Police Avinash Kumar rushed to the spot with extra force, who were also fired at by the Maoists. Mr. Kumar narrowly escaped a bullet.

The waters of Shark Bay are generally safe for swimming. In the inner gulf areas around Monkey Mia and Denham there is no swell so swimmers will find plenty of safe places to take a dip. Swimming is most popular in the summer months and the shallow waters around Denham and Monkey Mia are great for cooling off.
© Patrick Barker WA Maritime Museum
Wind is one thing that Shark Bay has plenty of, a nuisance to some but not for windsurfers and kite boarders! These activities are becoming increasingly popular and sites like the Denham foreshore, Little Lagoon and Monkey Mia attract a small band of dedicated boarders especially in summer.
The large inner gulfs of Shark Bay are almost totally protected from the powerful Indian Ocean swells and are therefore great for sea-kayaking. The best time of year is during the winter months when the winds drop and there is no surface chop to contend with. With scenery that includes limestone islands, rich red sand dunes, massive sea grass beds and abundant wildlife it is no surprise sea-kayakers rave about Shark Bay. Contact sea-kayak companies in Perth for itineraries that include Shark Bay or if you have your own kayak discuss trip options with local Department of Parks and Wildlife staff.

Mine was 2 points for sig rule violation.
replying to spam for me....
^ Same with me. I could have at least gotten a warning first...
I violated the signature rules. I wasn't banned, but I was forced to remove my signature pic.
A warning for "insubordination", when the rule was taken away about three days ago.
It just expired today.
1 point for accidental double post.
My first was for talking about Voice Actors. All i said was that a character's voice didn't fit him. didn't realize that what I did was wrong. I then saw the yellow square or whatever that showed that I had been reported. That sucks. Oh well.
My first one was a warning, forum-specific rule violation.
First one ever: Spam
Points: None.
Mine was for double posting. This is all on Serebii JSYK, I haven't ever been infracted here. I just joined yesterday sooo.
