SPOILER SPORT: SCOTT SNYDER On BATMAN #7, NIGHTWING & OWLS
SPOILER SPORT: SNYDER Talks BATMAN #7
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Batman #7 and Nightwing #7.]
And Dick Grayson's role in Gotham City got a whole new twist.
Written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo, Batman #7 revealed more clues about the ancient Gotham City organization known as the Court of Owls.
Bruce Wayne discovers that the Court's soldiers, called Talons, have been historically recruited from Haly's Circus — the same circus where Dick Grayson once starred as a boy.
In fact, Dick Grayson was supposed to be a Talon himself. The character had even been equipped with a compound in his tooth that not only marks all the Talons, but gives them the ability to be reanimated after death into virtually unstoppable killing machines with healing powers.
Now that the "Night of the Owls" event is about to begin, Batman #7 shows the Court releasing dozens of these reanimated Talons into the night. Snyder told Newsarama that the "Night of the Owls" event will focus on the Bat-family's battle against those Talons, with each Bat-book featuring the history of a unique Talon from a different era in Gotham City's past.
Newsarama called Snyder for a late night conversation to talk about the issue, and we ended up having a lengthy interview (presented in 2 parts) about Batman #7 and a slew of other topics related to the series.
Haly's Circus Revealed
Newsarama: Scott, I think the biggest surprise in this issue was seeing Bruce just haul off and hit Dick across the jaw.
Scott Snyder: I know, right? I know everyone probably thought, "Hey, he can't do that!" But he was actually knocking out that tooth.
Nrama: It's rather symbolic that the news of Dick's family history would come to him like a punch to the face. But Dick being marked as a villain is something you've been building toward since the beginning of this story, isn't it? Were you and Kyle [Higgins] foreshadowing these revelations in Batman #1 and Nightwing #1 when you both implied Dick was a killer?
Snyder: Yeah, this idea of the Talons and their connection to the circus, and Dick Grayson's involvement — it's something we've been building toward since the very beginning of the whole run.
There are more surprises coming, but this was the first giant twist, or reveal. I was nervous people would figure it out, because there are so many pieces of it in Nightwing too.
Nrama: Can you explain what effect these discoveries are having on Bruce? And what the revelations in this issue mean to him as he continues unraveling the mystery of the Court?
Snyder: For a long time now, the Court of Owls has been claiming that they're the true legend and true proprietor and almost owner of Gotham, or shaper of Gotham, the lords of Gotham. And that Batman is just a blip on the screen of history.
This story wasn't just about being shocking or sensational. The point was to really continue with that theme in the most devastating way to Bruce. Not only has he seen that the Court of Owls has been around for a very long time and has owned the city more than he could ever hope to, but what they've done in the past has also affected and shaped the lives of people in both his biological family and his adopted Bat-family, in ways that he's just starting to understand.
The things that [have happened around Bruce], even if Dick escaped his fate as a Talon, have all been touched by what the Court was planning or has done. That is the point of the twist here, is to say, not only have we been around a long time and everything you feared about us in that regard is true — all of our resources, all of our knowledge of the city, all of our influence and all of our power — but what we've done over the years has shaped your own mythology and your own lineage and your life and the lives of people you love.
Nrama: Let's talk about your addition of historical significance in this story, as you're looking back at centuries of Gotham City and the circus. There's been a lot of exploration of Gotham's history, especially through the Gates of Gotham mini you did with Kyle. Was that one of the goals, to round out Gotham's history?
Snyder: Well, we tried to give it a sense of depth and history, of the history of Gotham so far. And there's a lot more of that coming.
Nrama: So let's talk about what Bruce discovered. The court has been using the circus to recruit these Talons, but they've additionally been imbedding this compound into their tooth?
Snyder: Right. We'll be explaining the Talons more in upcoming comics and how the Court developed this process. But what Bruce and Dick have just found out is that all this time, the Court of Owls has been using the circus as their traditional way, that dated back four to five hundred years. It was part of this antique tradition.
Nrama: Can you explain the process of the Court choosing their Talons through Haly's Circus? Are all these Talons people who were chosen through the circus?
Snyder: Yeah. It's an old, traditional circus, and when it comes to Gotham, they present their young athletes in a big show. In Detective, I hinted at this idea, that the circus would pull out all the stops for their Gotham show.
And when the circus comes to Gotham, one of them is chosen by the Court in secret. And then they're trained to be these amazing killers.
But in more recent times, they were thinking it was more and more risky. So they've been trying to develop this compound that would essentially reanimate the Talons. The ancient Court always thought the trick would be what the ancient Greeks thought, which was, give them these coins in one form or another in their blood, in their hand, in their eyes and under their tongue.
The Court is using a special compound that these bodies have been treated with. It's this material that's been imbedded into their tooth and seeps into their bloodstream in life and allows them to be preserved in a particular way so that they could be brought back to life, through this compound that they've been struggling to make over the years.
Part of how the Court found this compound is going to be one of the issue's stories in Night of the Owls, so I don't want to give it away.
We've now seen that this is the thing that allows them to wake up all the Talons.
There's this strange sense of almost a mystical fate, and Dick has cheated that fate, whether it's a supernatural thing or not. Although it could just be coincidence, it could also be something where Gotham has a strange, almost dark, mystical quality to it, to challenge you and frighten you.
So this boy was supposed to be this evil bird, owl, but instead became a good bird under the wing of the Bat.
"Birds" vs. "Bat"
Nrama: That idea of birds versus bat is something you've been threading into your stories for awhile, even during your Detective run, with all the references to birds and the aviary. Now Bruce is beginning to realize he's surrounded by birds, isn't he?
Snyder: Yeah, there's something haunting for Bruce to realize that his closest ally is a bird, even though he was always called Robin. Now that the city is sort of divided along those lines, he looks around and what does he see? Birds of Prey, Robins, the Penguin — all of these make him feel very isolated as a bat.
Nrama: Bruce and Dick react very differently to the Court of Owls being so historical. Bruce is practically blindsided by the idea that he doesn't rule Gotham, but Dick doesn't see it as that important. Is that how you formed these two reactions?
Snyder: Very much. That was part of the fun of writing Dick the first time. I love writing Dick Grayson. I would love to write him again someday, because I just adore that character. He's so different than Bruce, and the things that upset Bruce don't upset him. The things that haunt Bruce's nightmares don't haunt his. But the reverse is true too. James [Gordon] Jr. wouldn't be particularly scary to Bruce, I don't think. Bruce wouldn't be shaken by the notion that such a person could exist and do these terrible things to the people that he's supposed to love. That doesn't touch a nerve for him. But the Joker, on the other hand, doesn't exactly touch a nerve for Dick the same way he touches a nerve with Bruce. And he seems to know the darkest secrets of Bruce's heart. You know what I mean?
One of the things I've always loved are those versions of Batman stories that take place in the future where Bruce and Dick have had some falling out and aren't speaking anymore, whether it's Batman Beyond or Dark Knight Returns or something like that. It always felt very real to me in that regard, because Dick is probably closer to Bruce than anyone but Alfred, but he's even up there with Alfred in some ways. He has an incredible, special relationship with him. But then I think there's this kind of contention between them, as well, or tension between them that does, when you play it forward, support the idea of them having a falling out. It feels, to me at least, somehow right in my gut. Dick Grayson is kind of like the good son, but he has a difficult father in Bruce, and I feel like, down the line, it might cause some big rifts between them, and I could see it erupting into a big fight.
So that's something I was thinking about and playing with here. Part of the story is about isolating Bruce and making him see how alone he is. And one of the strengths of Dick as a character is that he won't leave you alone.
Bruce needs to see that if he's going to survive what's going to happen in issue #8 and #9.
Nrama: Do you think Dick's line about Gotham not being the city of the bat comes from his experience having been Batman?
Snyder: Yes, definitely. Dick as Batman was facing a very different Gotham, at least when I was writing him, although I think the other writers were approaching it from the same sort of angle. In Detective, the whole story was about how Gotham organically changes, to challenge anyone that dares to be a hero in that city. And that's Jim Gordon as well.
You'll see a line from Bruce that opens issue #8 of Batman, and if you go back and look at my Detective run, you'll see that it's kind of a reflection of something Dick had said. But of course it's different, because Bruce is different from Dick as Batman, in the way that he views Gotham City.
Nrama: Dick has also lived elsewhere, although I don't know how much of that is still in Batman continuity. But even with Dick taking off with the circus and leaving Gotham behind for awhile recently, you can kind of tell that he's less attached to Gotham for his identity when compared to Bruce.
Snyder: Right, he's not. I loved all that material about him being in Bludhaven, and I think Nightwing is going to touch on some of those things coming up, in terms of him re-establishing himself in Gotham. But also exploring some of his history as well.
Dick Grayson is just a wonderful character and I loved working with Kyle on this issue. And I know Kyle has some really great stuff coming up in Nightwing.End of Part 1. Check back tomorrow for Part 2 and an interview with Nightwing writer Kyle Higgins about how this week's revelation about Dick Grayson's history will influence what happens in upcoming issues of Nightwing.

WASHINGTON (October 27, 2012)—U.S. Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., knows what it's like to have a big bull's eye plastered on his back.
The Democratic Party, and labor and environmental groups have spent $4.7 million on TV commercials and other efforts to unseat the nine-term congressman.
The chance to influence the outcomes of the Nov. 6 election has led the political parties and scores of corporate, union and other organizations to spend a record $253 million so far on their own TV ads, radio spots and other expenses in House races, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which monitors campaign spending.
A Supreme Court in 2010 allowed such spending without limits, and sometimes without identifying contributors, but it must be done independently, without consulting candidates.

DALLAS – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's tennis team breezed past Central Arkansas today, 6-1, in Dallas, to secure their third conference victory of the season. The Islanders picked up the doubles point before winning five straight-set singles matches to improve to 9-4 on the year.
"We got off to a surprisingly slow start in doubles," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "I didn't think our energy and footwork were where it needed to be at in the beginning, but I give these girls a lot of credit because they acknowledged that and chose to correct that with their actions. The footwork and energy in the singles was excellent and I felt this team played very determined today in singles."
The Islanders (9-4, 3-1 SLC) garnered a tight doubles point with wins on courts one and three to take an early 1-0 lead. In No. 1 doubles, the senior-freshman duo of Sandra Burges and Judit Vives topped UCA's (7-9, 0-6 SLC) Kristina Horsikyan and Kelsey Williams, 8-3, to improve their doubles mark to 7-2. The Bears answered back at No. 2 doubles after Cassidy Crawford and Simona Horsikyan edged the Islanders pair of Stefania Nicolae and Kerry Galhos, 8-6. A&M - Corpus Christi then clinched the point at No. 3 doubles after the tandem of Celia Rodriguez and Maider Martin earned their third conference doubles win of the season, with a 8-7 (0) tiebreaker victory over Krizia Buck and Sasha Ruocoo.
The Islanders kept the momentum going into singles play to extend their lead to 2-0. Rodriguez downed Crawford, 6-2, 6-1 to stay undefeated in No. 4 singles at 7-0. The sophomore earned her third straight win and 10th singles victory of the season.
UCA responded back with a win at No. 1 singles after Simona Horsikyan topped Nicolae, 6-4, 6-1. However, that would be the only point the Islanders would allow the rest of the day as they captured the remaining four singles matches. Martin won her match in straight sets in the No. 2 slot, 6-3, 6-3, over Williams to clinch the match for the Islanders. Vives padded the Islanders lead to 4-1, after winning her third consecutive match and her ninth of the season. The freshman sealed a 6-4, 6-4 straight-set victory in the No. 3 spot to improve to 9-1 on the year in singles play.
Burges then took care of business winning in straight sets to secure her fourth straight match at No. 5 singles. She now holds a perfect 4-0 record in Southland play after cruising to a 6-0, 6-3 win over Buck. The Islanders recorded their final point of the day on court six after Galhos notched a 6-2, 6-1 win over Strukelj to win her fourth consecutive match in the No. 6 spot. Like Burges, she also holds a 4-0 mark in conference play and has tallied an 8-2 record this season in singles play.
"It's always special playing in Dallas because we have some very dear friends of our program that come out, and support us and that means the world to our team," Moore added.
The Islanders will continue their Southland Conference road swing at McNeese State and Nicholls. The Islanders will first face the Cowgirls on Saturday, March 29.

SPOILER ALERT: Stop right here if you don't want to know how HBO's "True Detective" ended on Sunday.
For eight straight weeks, a lot of people have spent a lot of time dissecting and analyzing and theorizing during the run of HBO's phenomenal crime series "True Detective."
But during Sunday night's tense, suspenseful and superb finale, as Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) closed in on a psycho serial killer, it became more about emotional oomph than intellectual probing.
As one fan tweeted shortly after the show aired on the East Coast, he "Didn't expect to cry at the end of 'True Detective.'"
For the record: Rust and Marty got their man. He's Errol William Childress, son of Billy Lee Childress. The guy with the scars on his face. The "Spaghetti Monster." They tracked him down deep in bayou country, in a ramshackle house that looked like something straight out of "Hoarders" -- where he lived (and had sex with) a woman later identified as a half sister. In one room of the house was a dead elderly man tied to a bed with his mouth sewn shut.
The apprehension didn't come easy. After tracking Childress through what looked to be a dark, ominous brier patch filled with skulls and other scary sights, Rust was stabbed in the gut by the perp and Marty took a hatchet to the chest. Just as Childress prepared to finish off Marty, Rust shot him in the head from behind.
Both Marty and Rust survived the ordeal, though Rust briefly fell into a coma. A TV news report informed us that the police linked Childress to dozens of missing persons cases and the Dora Lange murder. Still, Rust wasn't fully satisfied because any alleged connections to Senator Tuttle's family have been "discredited."
"We didn't get them all," Rust says from his hospital bed.
"But we got ours," Marty replies.
The final moments of the episode had touches of humor (the two detectives playfully flipping each other off), but they were dominated by some heavy soul-searching.
As Marty wheels Rust out of the hospital, Rust reveals that he thinks he should have died ("I shouldn't even f---ing be here," he says). And he talks of there being a "moment in the dark" where he "knew my daughter was waiting for me. I could feel her. I was part of everything I ever loved."
But, in the end, the light was greater than the dark, and this show will continue to haunt our dreams for a very long time.
So what did you think of the "True Detective" finale? Did it live up to your expectations? Or were you disappointed? Can you envision another TV crime series as mesmerizing as this one?

Discussion in 'Fantasy / Horror' started by pat5150, Jul 23, 2011.
A 40-minute clip of the Game of Thrones from the SDCC here!
I heard on the radio today that it was one of the most popular panels there.
Thanks for posting the vid! I wish the sound quality were a bit better but what can you do? Some of those guys are pretty funny and I liked seeing Lena Heady out of character, she looks like a bit of a wingnut which is always fun.
I'm looking forward to see the Momoa dance they mentioned. One part of me thinks it'll be serious, the other part thinks it'll be very daft.
It's probably that crazy ass dance the Maori's from New Zealand do. I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know that there is a more barbaric dance anywhere (there is one particularly hideous tonge-dangling facial expression you make which translates as "after I kill you I'm going to eat you!"
Yeah, it's a traditional haka warrior's dance. Basically, he screamed in their faces really, really aggressively.
While his eyes bulged out of his head and a full-on Gene Simmons tongue dangle.
Aww, that's not fun as I was hoping he'd do the Charleston or something. I still want to see it, though.
The same audition also apparently landed him the part of Conan the Barbarian.
He mentioned that people came into the room, concerned, to see what was happening. They thought there was some kind of fight or attack going on, lol!
There's a tip for life. If you want to be a barbarian, learn to dance.
Thats great Im glad he landed that role it looks pretty good.

SAN JOSE -- The best thing about the Ryane Clowe trade for the Sharks is that they sent him to the New York Rangers. The worst thing about Tuesday's trade is the uncertainty about everything else. By going to New York, Clowe is assured of not facing his old team in the playoffs -- unless both the Sharks and Rangers reach the Stanley Cup finals. That's about as likely a scenario as Newfoundland voting to outlaw trout.
The uncertainty is the harder part to quantify -- until it becomes uncertainty. But this is a deal that, while making perfect sense on several levels, could still go sideways for the Sharks.
Clowe (who indeed is from Newfoundland and indeed has fished for trout there) was going to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Clowe was making too much money with the Sharks, more than $3 million per season, for a guy who had not scored any goals this season.
If Clowe wants that much money next season -- and indications are he does and that other teams will pay him that much, according to at least one NHL scout -- then the Sharks were not going to re-sign him. So while they could receive value for him from other teams, the Sharks were smart to trade Clowe and pick up three draft selecitons from the Rangers. A very fine return, actually.
And yet ... what happens if, after this recent five-game Shark winning streak with Clowe on the roster, the team now goes totally south and falls out of the playoff hunt without him on the roster? Even if none of it is due to Clowe's absence, it will still be where people point, as the easiest variable.
Clowe may have been goalless this season. His point total may have slipped from 62 in 2010-11 to 45 in 2011-12 to 11 (in 28 games) this season. He may have demonstrated that in the newer, faster NHL there is less of a need for a slower and more physical guy who has a penchant for taking ill-advised penalties. However, he was an immensely popular man in the Shark dressing room. It had everything to do with the way he supported every teammate on the ice.
It didn't matter if you were a first linee or a fourth liner. If an opponent took a cheap shot, Clowe was there to police it. Douglas Murray, as a defenseman, played the same role. And he's gone, too, shipped away in a trade last week -- for draft choices, same as Clowe and same as Michal Handzus, the third Shark who's been traded away in the past week.
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson, when asked last week if he wanted to be a buyer or a seller as Wednesday's noon trade deadline approached, said he wanted to be both. But so far, he's been selling. Obtaining draft picks could be seen as buying, of course, but it doesn't help the team right now.
The Sharks now have 10 picks in the upcoming 2013 entry draft, which by law of averages should yield them three or four future NHL players. But unless Wilson makes another deal or two before the deadline that yields actual living and breathing NHL bodies, the Sharks will have to make do over the next two months with the players they have.
Wilson admitted that Tuesday's deal was "extremely difficult" and saluted Clowe's "tremendous character." Which at least raises the question of whether the Sharks' character tank is less full.
You can plug in any of several player into Clowe's spot on the ice. But the intangibles are harder to replace. The energetically scrappy Tommy Wingels can try to be physical playing alongside Logan Couture, the way Clowe was. But Wingels is two inches shorter and 25 pounds lighter than Clowe. Not the same thing.
The Sharks are still a playoff team. They proved that Monday night when, with Clowe sitting out the game to protect his health in light of the imminent trade, they defeated a quality Vancouver Canucks team. From here, it appears the Sharks will make it to the finish line someplace between the sixth and eighth slot in the West.
And that's where Clowe's absence could finally come back to bite the Sharks. The playoffs are a grind. Injuries always occur. Roster depth is a major component for a team to make a successful run. In past years at the trade deadline, Wilson has been good about acquiring players to be there when depth matters.
Of course, that strategy never did pay off for the Sharks with any Stanley Cup finals appearances. So you can't criticize Wilson for trying another strategy.
Summed up, that would probably be: We're going to roll the dice with the pretty good players we still have on the roster. If they get angry about popular teammates being traded away, maybe they will channel that anger into trying to prove a point. Maybe they'll get hot enough to make the postseason and hope stay healthy enough to surprise some people. Meanwhile, we will use all our new draft picks to draft a core of players who can keep us competitive through 2015 or 2016 or 2017.
Who knows where Clowe will be then? He leaves San Jose hockey fans with a lot of good memories. Too bad one of them didn't involve a cup named Stanley.

What do you get when you pair Halloween with a gothic Victorian mansion? Ghost tours, of course.
The Castle, built in 1855 and located at 418 Fourth St. in Marietta, will be the backdrop for a series of tours focusing on the haunted history of the building and actual accounts of paranormal activity.
According to organizers of the event, people shouldn't come anticipating the usual haunted "funhouse" experience.
"Don't come with expectations of people jumping out and scaring you," said Misti Spillman, The Castle's education director since July.
Instead, volunteers and staff will be dressed in period clothing and will lead tours of up to 10 through the darkened house with only a lantern to see. For this reason, it is not recommended to bring children under age 8 or anyone who might have trouble navigating stairs.
Those who dare to reserve a spot on any of the tours, which will run every 15 minutes from 7 p.m. until after 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, might be witness to something they just can't grasp, like unseen voices chatting in the dining room or doors which appear to have opened on their own.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Ghost tours.
Where: The Castle, 418 Fourth St., Marietta.
When: Thursday and Friday, first tour at 7 p.m., last tour at 9 p.m. Tours run every 15 minutes and last approximately 45 minutes.
Who: Not appropriate for children under age 8 (parents use discretion); lantern-guided tour through darkened house with stairs.
Details: No cameras in the museum portion of the house.
Cost: $10 per person.
v For reservations: 373-4180; http://mariettacastle.org.
It is thought that some of the unexplained activity - overhead footsteps, lights turning on, cool breezes - comes from two former residents of the home: Jessie Davis Lindsay and Stewart Bosley.
"I was in Jessie's room, known to be one of the more haunted rooms at The Castle, and there were cold spots throughout, regardless of air conditioning or heat," said Lauren Cunningham, 17, of Marietta, who has been involved with The Castle's Victorian Wake and Funeral Tours. "Also, if I would leave the room, my chair would be moved back slightly every time I would return. Spooky."
Jessie Davis Lindsay was the daughter of prominent Mariettans Lucy Nye and Theodore Davis and wife of John Lindsay. She inherited The Castle from her mother at age 55 and called it home until five days before her 100th birthday on Feb. 14, 1974.
"We don't know for sure that it is Jessie (doing the haunting) but there has been a lot of activity in her bedroom," said Spillman.
Stewart Bosely and his sister, Dr. Bertlyn Bosley, became owners of the property after Davis Lindsay's death and began a renovation project that went on for close to two decades. Stewart died in 1991 before the project was completed.
"I think he comes back to check on us periodically," joked Spillman.
Despite the random knocks and creaking of floorboards that sometimes spook the staff, volunteers and visitors of The Castle, Spillman assures that the spirits mean no harm.
"There hasn't been anything negative happen and they definitely keep to themselves," she said.
Reservations are recommended for the tours, which run about 45 minutes. The cost is $10 per person.

The federal health care law that passed Congress in March is one of the most controversial pieces of legislation in a long time. Some key components went into effect Thursday.
Politics aside, how will these provisions affect average people?
Ann Marie Munn, vice-president of Meridian's Benefits Management Group, explains that not all changes have taken effect.
"The day that the President signed the healthcare reform bill, some of the provisions went into effect that very day. Others went into effect six months later, which is today. But much of it is being phased in: January 1, 2011, some January 1, 2012, 2013. The majority of it will go into effect in 2014," said Munn.
Some elements of the new health care law stand out more than others. One of those is the fact that parents may now buy coverage for their adult children through age 26. But there are other elements to consider.
"For the year 2010, there's a small business tax credit. There are some limitations there. There has to be a certain number of employees. The average salary has to be a certain amount," said John Rae, office manager of BMG. "But they can get up to a 35% tax credit on the premiums they've paid on their employees for the year 2010."
Munn says there is another notable provision that is currently in place. It applies to coverage of children with pre-existing conditions.
"Nineteen and under, you do not have a pre-existing exclusion applied to you if you have any kind of medical condition. Over 19 is going to be phased in down the road," Munn said.
Rae and Munn agree that your human resources department or insurance broker can provide the best advice when it comes to your individual health care plan.
The provisions of the bill will continue to kick in over the next eight years, with the final provisions doing so in 2018.
The total price tag is expected to be more than $800 million, with 31 million new Americans becoming insured.

Organic Food Delivery: Fresher, Faster … Better?
I've lost a pound in four days, and we've eaten healthy, organic meals the past three nights.
New diet? Nope. I just signed us up for organic produce home delivery.
I received my first delivery this week, and it's already delivering much more than I had hoped for: a reason to try new recipes, eating fruits and vegetables I've never ventured to buy in the grocery store (hello, kale!), and losing weight in the process.
Also, I swear, the carrots just taste better.

HEMET — The Burroughs girls basketball team kept getting better on its way to a 3-1 record Dec. 26-29 in the Tahquitz Tournament.
"It's hard to start a tournament the day after a holiday and play at your best," BHS Coach Robert Campbell said. "As the tournament went on, we kept getting better, so that is a good sign for us."
The Burros' win in the third-place game moved the team's overall record to 10-4, which is one of the best records in Div. 3A.
According to Max Preps, Chaminade (14-1), Ocean View (11-3) and South Pasadena (11-3) are the only teams out of 45 that have better records in the division at this point in the season.
"We got back to practice Wednesday for the first time since the tournament ended," Campbell said. "We want to keep getting better, so we're going to start to work on a couple of our weaknesses. We do well in our full-court press, but we have to stop the ball in transition. We're not stopping the ball handler when other teams do break the press, so we have to do a better job of that.
"We also have to work on our inside game. We want to be consistent down there. Talia (Forsythe), Chantia (Jennings) and Celsea (McGrew) need to be a bigger part of our success because we're not always going to hit our outside shots."
Campbell said his perimeter players continue to play well. Alex Simmons had an excellent game to finish the tournament. Aubrey Hayes has been consistently good throughout the beginning of the season. Candace Perez continues to fill up the stat sheet every night by getting around 10 points a contest, five steals and four assists.
The Burros move on to play Barstow Jan. 9 in the Burroughs Barn to start the second round of Desert Sky League play. The Burros sit in second place in the DSL with a 3-1 record, one game behind first-place Silverado.

LED Shaker Survival Flashlight
$ 1.99
LED Shaker Survival Flashlight - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- It really is greatThis is an awesome flashlight. Im sitting here raiting this and while im rating it I was just thinking...4 or 5 star. I was thinking 4 star because when I got this I shook it for about 10 minutes. And I compared it to a normal flashlight that was $20 and this one was a little dimmer. But on the good side it lasts longer than any other flashlight, You dont have to shake it for 5 minutes every use like the one on tv, it lasts up to 2 and a half hours on a 30 second shake (they say up to 4 hours but after 2 and a half it gets a lot dimmer), its cheap, and you save money not having to buy batteries! This flashlight outprices, outruns, and outshines every flashlight out there. I do like my $85 swiss army flashlight better though. Just because its kinda like the kind the cops use and it can be seen from 2 miles away. Its great for gator fishing too! But the bad thing about it is it takes 3 or 4 of those huge batteries (not AAA or AA) I can remember which kind I just dont wanna go look but this flashlight it the best for under $10 and it outshines $70 flashlight so its a Great buy!! 5/5 !!
Airsoft Owns!!!Im out!
- super brighti have this flashlight except its in blue and it works great...shake it and you have instant light. you don't need any batteries(it doesn't require them) or an extra bulb. I know this because i have had mine for well over a year and its not messed or or dimmed at all. i don't recommend this as much for airsoft but its great for outdoors camping or if your electricity goes out. If you want a cheap flashlight for airsoft that works great get the night fire tactical flashlight.
thanks for reading
- AWESOMEthis is probably the best flashlight on shorty for its price. The fact that it doesn't use batteries saves a lotta money. (Most flashlights use lithium batteries, right?) The money adds up eventually... ALso, you don't neccesarily have to use this flashlight for airsoft. Me and my dad bought the same flashlight online for 15 bucks excluding shipping and handling. 10 bucks on shorty? ... AMAZING...
STill, there is one drawback. THis flashlight makes a loud rattling noise when shaken so you may give away your position. ON the other hand, YOu can just power it up before the game.
This flashlight is very durable- I have dropped it countless times and it still works and feels like new, apart from a few scratches.
Thanks for reading
- no battery flashlight? hell yeah bruthano batteries for a flashlight is like saying no gas for a gbb. its a dreaqm come true. someday if they keep this up, all you have to do, is shake your aeg's battery instead of waitng 2-4 hours, how convienent!
- for night gamesif you need a flashlight for night games than this is the one.it last a long time and if it runs out just shake it.i got the from the tv commercials and this one is better.i got it for its price and its definately worth it.it uses led lights to wich will last alot longer than regular lights.this is the best flashlight ever for its price.
speed out.....
- My OpinionOkay here is how i see it. Yes this is an unbelievable deal and a great flashlight because you just shake it and use it. BUT, if you are in the middle of an airsoft round(at night which is when most people use flashlights and you pull out this bad boy im pretty sure that everyone on the other team will see you and probobly shoot at you. So if you want it for reasons other then airsoft then buy it otherwise good luck using it and not getting shot.
- yes get thisok i was in a very big airsoft war like 50 on 50 and a enemy jeep ran this thing over after i triped and it still works fine
- DecentI've had one of these for a couple months and it's been holding up pretty well even though it's been dropped on concrete a couple times now.
I prefer using a Mini-Maglite thats the same price as one of these but if you can't spend 20 bucks on batteries a month this is is a good alternative.
- NiceI prefer a titanium external construction so it won't be see through but for $9 it is great. Buy it.
- Old school but AWESOMEFirst of all I ordered this today so I will receive it Monday (I get my stuff from shorty's one day after shipping but the weekend is here). I do not own it, but I used a similar flashlight. Another "shaker". Shakers are old school, but nonetheless, great. I will be using this in wars. The light on shakers is bright, due to the LED. This is a really nifty item. I suggest it especially for the price. Wow shorty's prices keep getting better and better. Buy this.

Inspired by these three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916.
While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.
Here are a few ways you can celebrate and observe the patriotism of the day:
* Fly the flag. If you don't know how to do it properly, learn how; a code passed by Congress in 1942 governs the handling and display of the U.S. flag. For more on Flag Etiquette, CLICK HERE.
* Have a picnic with family and friends and talk about what Flag Day means to you.
* Venture to a local observance.
* Throw and informal barbecue with all the fixings. Have guests don patriotic gear and fly the American flag.
Looking for other ways to celebrate and observe the day? CLICK HERE for craft ideas and other activities to celebrate the day with friends and family.

10 Secrets I Learned at Makeup Artist School
Want the tricks professional makeup artists use without going to makeup school yourself? We went to a makeup academy and got the goods -- see our cheat sheet now
If you want to add definition: Sweep a light bronzer through the crease of the eye, which is halfway between the lashline and the eyebrow. "As you age, the eye area loses elasticity, and things aren't as shapely as they used to be," says Prior. "This technique is great for mature skin, to give the face more definition." A tip for you blue-eyed girls: An orange-y bronzer in your crease will make your eyes even bluer.
If you have narrow-set eyes: To elongate your eye width, apply a black liner to the outer half of both your upper and lower lashlines, connecting at the outer corner.
If you have drooping, heavy lids: Use what you just learned about highlights and shadows to lift your eye. Apply highlighter above your crease, from the inner to outer lid. Then blend a shadow to the area that you want to push back, which would be the heavy fold. Make sure to blend the edges from the shadow to the highlight.
If you have small eyes: Apply a beige-colored eyeliner to your lower inner rim, which will help make eyes look more open. Then use a black pencil liner along your entire upper and lower lashlines, connecting the lines at the outer corner. The key is to blend the liner with shadow, going outwards. Wherever you place the darkness is where your eye will go, so by smudging the lines, it gives the allusion that your eyes are taking up more real estate on your face.
And the tip I love most for natural definition: Apply a black pencil to your upper inner rim. "It lengthens the eye and it also sharpens the appearance of the eye, giving more fullness to the natural lashline without seeing the hard edge of a liner," says Prior.

Tint 1 cup of vanilla frosting pale peach with the red and yellow food coloring. Tint the dark chocolate frosting black with the black food coloring. Spoon each color frosting into separate resealable bags.
Flatten the pink fruit chews and cut into 12 separate half-inch heart shapes as the mouth. Open the mini cream-filled cookies. Remove the cream and discard. Use a small serrated knife to cut the cookies in half to make 24 semi circles.
Spread the tops of the cupcakes with the remaining vanilla frosting and make smooth. Add the cut cookies, cut side in, on either side of the cupcakes as the ears. Snip a small corner from the bag with the peach-colored frosting. Pipe the outline of the face and fill in with more peach frosting. Spread to make smooth. Pipe the remaining peach frosting over the cookies to cover. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the black frosting. Pipe mouth, nose, closed eyes, and eyebrows.

Miracle Needed
Yesterday I submitted a prayer request for my daughter and her husband who have been trying for 5 1/2 years to have a child. He is pregnant now and is experiencing some problems that in the past has led to miscarriage (she has had 2 previous miscarriages). This morning she went to the doctor and the doctor is not 100% sure that she is miscarrying. He said that he has seen strange things like this and then the woman goes on to deliver a healthy baby. PLEASE pray with us that over the next few hours and days that this baby will begin to grow and develop into a healthy baby and that my daughter will successfully be able to carry the baby. Please pray for strength for us all. Please pray that God's will be done and that no matter the outcome that HE will receive all the honor and glory!! We believe in miracles. Thank you so much.

Whether you're looking for accessories, furniture, fabrics or a unique piece of art, personal home shoppers are one way to bring the expertise and resources of a design professional to the process of turning your interior design dreams into reality.
Many of us can spend hours poring over beautiful rooms in glossy interior design magazines, but can still get a little lost when attempting to choose patterns that co-ordinate with coloured fabrics.
Dilemmas like these are why Calgary designers Jeannie Sturdy and Arlene Ladner of M Projects Inc. set up shop.
"It's about bringing the vision into reality. A lot of people have a hard time visualizing the whole concept. Or, if they're doing a whole house, can get really compartmentalized into one specific area and they can't see the bigger picture," says Sturdy.
Sturdy, owner of M Projects, has been offering personal home shopping services to clients since launching her business five years ago. She and Ladner, owner of Bronco Gray Design (which merged with M Projects in January), will meet with clients, develop wish lists and decide on budgets to help design, decorate or renovate everything from one room to an entire house.
"The initial consultation with the client is to understand their needs and wants, as well as their style likes and dislikes," says Sturdy, adding the client is charged on a fee-for-service basis of $150 per hour.
"We usually ask them for magazine clippings as visuals so we can get a sense of what they're looking for. Because terms like contemporary and traditional are used so loosely, they could mean almost anything and everyone's really a mixture of all of them."
Then the pair gets down to work: furniture is delivered, placement is decided and all the accessories are picked up, right down to the smallest of details, such as window coverings, draperies, wall paper and artwork.
"We kind of push people a little bit outside of their comfort zone - if you always pick beige, you're always going to pick beige. Or, you can call yourself traditional, but we might find a great Asian piece for you," says Sturdy, noting 40 per cent of M Projects' business is based on home shopping and design.
"We help people to not be afraid, have the confidence and do a little bit of hand-holding, too, giving them that affirmation that you're on the right track and this is going to be great."
Since the design duo are experts in the industry, not only do they have all the right connections and know where to get even the most unique pieces, they also get insider discounts.
"In addition to us being time and energy savers, any time we get a designer discount, we pass that on to the clients - that's not available to the general public," says Sturdy, noting they also have access to trade-only showrooms that do custom work for everything from furniture to drapery to bedding.
"We also work with local artists, so we can help create bespoke artwork for the client or see what they have in stock. We can even go so far as to have mill workers create custom furniture to fit any client's tastes."
Her favourite part of the process? Seeing the entire vision come together at the end.
"We get so excited when we're bringing the whole room together and doing the install, and you see the satisfaction and have your client squeal with delight," says Sturdy.
"From design concept to the end result and seeing that client satisfaction - that's the best part for sure."

It's been a while since our last link roundup, and in that time we've had some diametrically opposed scuttlebutt regarding potential fall tour dates for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. (And yes, these reports are all real — we'll leave the April Fools news to backstreets.com.)
On the one side we have charitybuzz.com, which declares "The Wrecking Ball Tour, which will be on a world-wide jaunt from March to August 2013, is coming back to the U.S. this Fall!" And bidding for tickets and backstage access stands at $4,100 with just less than a day left to bid, meaning there's some rich dudes out there who are banking on this actually happening.
But on the other side we have one Mr. Steven Van Zandt, who told the Bruce Brunch that fall U.S. dates were "very unlikely."
�That�s a whole another set of commitments,� said Little Steven. �I haven�t heard a word about (a fall tour).� He noted that the Wrecking Ball tour has been going since February,2012 and called the tour, scheduled to go through the summer �enough for now.Of course, as much as we trust Stevie, he's not The Boss. Our gut says there will be dates in late summer/early fall … but our gut is notoriously unreliable. It's a head-scratcher, but as soon as we have the info you'll be the first to know.Meanwhile, there's plenty of Springsteen news and commentary to keep you occupied, via Australia and beyond:
Great roundup of Springsteen's Oz trip by @McCabeRadar in the Herald Sun (make sure to click the sidebars). A look back on Springsteen's sometimes rocky relationship with Australia from our friends at @greasylake. Springsteen gets some serious airtime in Oz with this interview, saying his ongoing tours a about "renewal, not repetition." See the E Street Band out on the town in Sydney, thanks to these Facebook pix by saxophonist Ed Manion. Was hoping for a Record Store Day release from Springsteen, but this is nice too (if you're a Joy Formidable fan). You probably don't need this, but you'll still probably get a kick out of the Bruce for Beginners flowchart. Another far-reaching interview covers a lot of ground with the busiest man in show biz, Stevie Van Zandt. "Girl gropes the Boss." You know who you are.

Why Are Gasoline Prices Soaring? Blame the 'Crack Spread'
The price of gasoline is rising quickly enough to give some drivers a renewed sense of sticker shock every time they fill up their tanks.
The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded in the U.S. is nearly $3.78, which is 4.7 cents higher than last week and about 47 cents higher than a month ago.
Regular gas costs more than $4 per gallon in Hawaii, California, Washington D.C. and New York, which may not surprise many people because prices tend to be significantly above average in these areas. However, premium fuel is above the $4 mark in 23 stated plus the District of Columbia, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
Why so high, especially considering prices tend to be lower during winter?
The rise is partly the result of higher crude oil prices. But the main culprit is an increase in what fuel industry insiders call the crack spread, or the difference between the wholesale price of gasoline and the price of crude oil, said the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
EIA said that between the beginning of the year and Feb. 19, the price of Brent crude oil rose about $6 per barrel, or about 15 cents per gallon. Brent is the waterborne light sweet crude grade that drives the wholesale price of gasoline sold in much of the U.S.
Some of the factors contributing to rising crack spreads, or margins for gasoline, and the rising retail price of gasoline include planned and unplanned refinery outages, higher demand for petroleum products around the world and especially low crack spreads in November and December.
While the EIA said "there are indications that gasoline crack spreads are beginning to ease," the short-term outlook for gasoline prices is still volatile and prices could rise further.

Defense Documents
David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|< (a) Introduction
|(c) The Boycott of 1 Apr... >
|(f) The 'Kaufman plan'. >>
(b) Jewish criminality in Berlin
1. In one of his speeches, Irving claimed that Goebbels only became antisemitic in the 1920s when he realised the dominance of the Jews in Berlin, and that much of Goebbels's anti-Jewish propaganda was based in fact:
Well, if you remember when the Nazis came to power, which was in 1933, Dr. Goebbels made a great deal of mileage out of the fact that certainly in Berlin, the Berlin that he arrived at in 1926, that was very largely dominated by the Jewish lawyers, the Jewish politicians, the Jewish police chiefs, the Jewish ministers and so on. And he made a lot of mileage out of that and it was a very unhealthy political situation for Germany. In fact, the odd thing is before Goebbels came to Berlin in 1926 he wasn't anti-Jewish. He turned anti-Jewish by what he saw.1
2. This theme is also taken up in Irving's writings, with particular emphasis on the alleged dominance of Jews in the criminal underworld of Berlin. For instance, in his book Goebbels: Mastermind of the 'Third Reich' (1996), Irving states that Goebbels
would highlight every malfeasance of the criminal demi-monde and identify it as Jewish. In the closing years of the Weimar republic, he was unfortunately not always wrong. In 1930 Jews would be convicted in forty-two of 210 known narcotics smuggling cases; in 1932 sixty-nine of the 272 known international narcotics dealers were Jewish. Jews were arrested in over sixty percent of the cases concerning the running of illegal gambling dens; 193 of the 411 pickpockets arrested in 1932 were Jews. In 1932 no fewer than thirty-one thousand cases of fraud, mainly insurance swindles, would be committed by Jews.2
3. Similarly, in 1995 article, Irving wrote;
As Goebbels orchestrated the rise of the Nazi party in Berlin, part of the problem for the democrats there was that much of what he said was true. The Jewish community not only dominated the legal and medical professions in Berlin, they also dominated the crime scene. In my biography I've quoted Interpol figures of the percentage of Jews among those arrested for drug dealing and narcotics. Moreover, three-quarters of the pickpockets in Berlin were Jewish. It was quite easy for Goebbels to draw attention to such facts, and to embellish them in a propaganda campaign.3
4. Irving's claims about the dominance of Jews in various professions are highly misleading. In 1930, around a third to a half of all doctors in Berlin were Jewish. In statistics drawn up by the Nazis, about half of all the lawyers in Berlin were classified as Jews. Many fewer Jews joined the judicial service, from which they had been excluded before the 1920s. Only around one-fifth of the higher judicial officials (höherer Justizdienst) were classified as Jewish by the time of the Nazi seizure of power, and Jews played a minor role in senior positions in the civil service. Irving himself describes the Vice-President of the Berlin Police in the late 1920s, Bernhard Weiss, as 'the first Jew ever to be accepted for the Prussian higher civil service'. Similarily, Jews played no dominant role in Berlin politics. From 1918 to 1933, only a total of eight deputies with Jewish origins were elected to either the Reichstag or the Prussian parliament to represent the various Berlin constituencies. And after the murder of Foreing Minister Rathenau in 1922, hardly any Germans with Jewish origins were appointed as Reich Cabinet Ministers.4 Moreover, the figures given by Irving in Goebbels suggests that 'only' 47% of all pickpockets in Berlin were Jewish, not 75%, as he claimed in the 1995 article. And in the passages quoted above, Irving provides no example of Goebbels having used these figures in his propaganda. More importantly, perhaps, it is possible to examine in detail Irving's claims about the dominance of Jews in the Berlin criminal underworld in the Weimar Republic. Irving gives the following detailed footnote reference for his claims:
Interpol figures, in Deutsche Nachrichten-Büro (hereafter DNB), Jul 20, 1935; and see Kurt Daluege, 'Judenfrage als Grundsatz', in Angriff, Aug 3, 1935 (Hauptamt Ordnungspolizei files, BA file R. 19/406); on the criminal demi-monde of 1920s Berlin, see Paul Weiglin, Unverwüstliches Berlin. Bilderbuch der Reichshauptstadt seit 1919 (Zürich, 1955) and Walther Kiaulehn, Berlin: Schicksal einer Weltstadt (Munich, 1958).5
5. On checking out these references, which are, typically, without specific page numbers, it becomes clear that while there are indeed sections in Kiaulehn's and Weiglin's books which deal with the Berlin criminal underworld, there is not a single reference in either of the books which could back up Irving's claim regarding the dominance of Jews in the crime scene in Berlin in the 1920s.6
6. Next come the 'Interpol figures', as quoted in the Deutsche Nachrichtenbüro. This source, which sounds very authorative, is clearly regarded by Irving as the key evidence for the claims advanced both in Goebbels and in his 1995 article. However, on closer inspection this document turns out to be nothing more than a piece of Nazi propaganda. The Deutsche Nachrichtenbüro(DNB) was not an independent news agency, but a mouthpiece of the Nazi leadership. Since its creation in December 1933, it had been controlled directly by Goebbels's Propaganda Ministry and was subject to the same controls and directions as any other part of the Nazi news media.7
7. Second, the article of 20 July 1935 in the DNB does not report any 'Interpol figures', as Irving claims, but rather consists of a transcript of a press conference by Kurt Daluege on the 'Jews and criminality'.8 Daluege is anything but an objective source. He was a committed Nazi, who had joined the NSDAP as early as 1926 and entered the SS in 1930. In the Spring of 1932, he was elected as a Nazi deputy to the Prussian Parliament. Immediately after the Nazi 'seizure of power', Daluege was appointed by Göring in February 1933 to the Prussian Ministry of the Interior. In September 1934, he was awarded the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer and in April 1935 he was promoted to Generalleutnant der Landespolizei. It was in this capacity that he gave his press conference on 20 July 1935. During the Second World War, Daluege was responsible for the involvement of the German order police (which he had headed since 1936) in the Nazi extermination of Jews in the East. In January 1943, Daluege described the Second World War as a 'struggle of annihilation against the world enemies, Jewry, Communism, which is led by Jewry, and plutocracy...' Daluege was also responsible for Nazi occupation policy in Czechoslovakia in 1942-43 (when he served as deputy Reichsprotektor für Böhmen und Mähren). In October 1946, Daluege was executed for his crimes against the Czech population during the war.9
8. Daluege's press conference in July 1935 was a blatant propaganda exercise, designed to justify the brutal Nazi persecution of the German Jews. Daluege complained that while the 'Jew-subservient' (judenhörigen) sections of the world press reported the 'alleged' persecution of Jews in Germany, none of these journalists went to the trouble to discover the reasons
that compel the German people to take up its defensive struggle against Jewish arrogance and against Jewish criminality. I am in a position to supply to all those who out there in the world make themselves out to be so concerned about the allegedly endangered position of the German Jews material which will make their mood more reflective.
9. Daluege went on to present figures detailing the alleged participation of Jews in criminal activities in Germany which proved the 'danger of Jewry for the German people'. Daluege's implication was clear: it was not Nazi Germany which posed a danger for the Jews, but it was the Jews who threatened Germany.
When one reflects on the fact that according to the latest statistical investigations there are 7.6 Jews per 1,000 Germans, and that the Jew is at the top of the figures with 80 per cent in particular types of crime and in others again at least a quarter of all convictions, one can be really happy that the German people has been freed from a large part of this evil. We want to deal all the more energetically with the other part, which now as before is mounting its thieving raids against the property and the health of our people.10
10. This antisemitic propaganda by a fanatical Nazi is utterly useless as a statistical source for the participation of German Jews in the Weimar Republic in criminal activities.
11. Contemporary figures from the Weimar period do not indicate that Jewish criminality was particularly important. For instance, in 1925, an average of 1.05 per cent of all inmates in Prussian penitentiaries (Zuchthäuser) were Jewish, and 1.79 per cent of inmates in larger Prussian prisons.11 It is typical for Irving's disregard for even the most basic conventions of historical scholarship, that he presents Daluege's figures as objective facts ('Interpol figures'). This uncritical use of Nazi propaganda material is indefensible.
12. This is also true for the final source cited by Irving for his claims about the dominance of Jews in the Berlin criminal underworld, Daluege's article of 3 August 1935 in Der Angriff. (incidentally, this article could not be located in the file referred to by Irving). Der Angriff was one of the most important Nazi propaganda papers, originally set up by Goebbels in 1927. Daluege in this article defended the material he had presented at the press conference on 20 July 1935:
If a section of the foreign press is trying to portray the official statistical material on the criminality of the Jew as an attempt to justify the legal measures which are to be expected against the increasing presumptiousness of the Jews, that is either malicious, or at least a lack of understanding for the stantpoint of the German people in the Jewish question.12
13. As an objective source, Daluege's article is just as worthless as is his preceding press conference of 20 July 1935.
14. Not only does Irving uncritically use Daluege's propaganda as an objective source, he even fails to cite Daluege's figures correctly. For instance, in the original text of the press conference, Daluege claimed that in 1933, there were a total of 31,000 fraud cases recorded in Berlin. By 1934, there were only 18,000 such cases. According to Daluege, 'a considerable part, if not the largest (part)' of these perpetrators in 1934 were still Jewish. In Irving's text, this passage is rendered in the following way: 'In 1932, no fewer than thirty-one thousand cases of fraud, mainly insurance swindles, would be committed by Jews'. As is plain to see, this does not correspond to Daluege's original text. First, Daluege's figure of 31,000 fraud cases refers to 1933, not 1932. Second, not even the Nazi propagandist Daluege claimed, like Irving does, that all of these 31,000 fraud cases involved Jews. Irving thus further inflates the figures presented in Daluege's propaganda material. Thirdly, Daluege nowhere claims that these fraud cases were mainly insurance swindles, as Irving does. It would have been easy for Irving to have verified his account against other sources. Thus the official German Criminal Statistics for the year 1932 recorded a total of 74 persons convicted of insurance fraud (paragraph 265 of the German Criminal Code) in the whole of Germany - a far cry from Irving's figure of over 15,500 cases of insurance fraud committed in 1932 by Berlin Jews alone.13

Gefahr des Judentums für das deutsche Volk... Wenn man sich überlegt, daß nach den neuesten statistischen Erhebungen auf 1000 Deutsche 7,6 Juden kommen und daß der Jude mit 80 v. H. in einzelnen Verbrechensarten an der Spitze steht, und in anderen wieder mindestens 1/4 aller abgestraften Fälle stellt, so könnte man wirklich froh sein, daß das deutsche Volk von einem großen Teil dieses Uebels erlöst ist. Umso energischer wollen wir uns mit dem anderen Teil befassen, der skrupellos nach wie vor seine Raubzüge gegen das Vermögen und gegen die Gesundheit unseres Volkes unternimmt'

13. 'ein beträchtlicher Teil, wenn nicht der größte'. As will be remembered, Irving claimed that most of the 31,000 fraud cases were insurance fraud (i.e. more than 15,500). For the insurance fraud figures, see Kriminalstatistik für das Jahr 1932, Bearbeitet im Reichsjustizministerium und im Statistichen Reichsamt (Berlin, 1935), p. 112. Allegations of Jewish criminality occur elsewhere in Irving's speeches and writings too. Thus in a speech delivered by Irving at the Bayrischer Hof, Milton, Ontario, 5 October 1991 (Videotape 190, 2h 28m 30s - 2h 29m 40s) Irving claimed that Jewish survivors of the Holocaust were criminals: 'The big lie [i.e. what Irving terms the Holocaust lie] is designed to justify both in arrears and in advance the bigger crimes in the financial world elsewhere that are being committed by the survivors of the Holocaust.'

hgh questions
I am thinking about taking thanktropin (red tops)....i was gonna do 2 iu's a day.....and go for five days on---2 days off.......I was told that by a close friend ...is that dosage sufficient?..I was told 2 iu's a day would be ok if i wasnt looking for massive size..just a little, and to get leaner,and of course help my sport performance..I am an athlete, so im not doing this for shits and giggles .I have been doing a lot of research on this and talking to close friends...and i get mixed feelings when you should inject the hgh....in the morning or at night.....I think you would do it in the morning if your young(20-30)...but if your an older male(30-60) than do it at night so you can spike your pituitary glands....any suggestions? I also heard that it could spike gyno?...is that true?...and if so what do you do about?...can you continue the hgh?....I also heard you can get a little numbness in the hands, is that ok ..is it normal?....I really just want answers and advice...I hope someone can guide me and give me some answers without knocking me.
