Another house, another HILL, what's up, Alamo?
Original post made by Hillary Oaks, Alamo, on Jan 26, 2008
There is a project slated for Ridgewood Rd that violates at least five county ordinances and ignores other county requirements that the county seems absolutely intent on approving. It will likely be greater than 35' from the bottom to the top of the roof, but we will never know because the county has not required an elevation from the applicant.
This project (information removed by Danville Weekly staff) is proposing a 5700 square foot house on a lot that has greater than 29% slope and is surrounded by, so far, unblemished oak ridgeland. Neighboring houses are no larger than 3600 sq ft. The average house is approximately 2000 sq ft.
The project puts neighboring houses at great risk for mudslides. The concerns of the neighbors have been ignored. We feel that we are sitting on a train track, bound, and waiting for the train to run us over.
Make no mistake, this could happen to you if you live in Alamo. It can happen in any neighborhood because the available land is either on the skyline or on the ridgeline.
Our local planning organization who works hard to preserve our quality of life and preserve it for the future have been unable to stop 257 outsize houses that have been constructed against their recommendations.
An appeal to our Supervisor, Mary Piepho was blown off. Issues surrounding the legitimacy of the process and the lack of public hearing were dismissed as merely issues to be considered in approving or denying the project.
We have no regional planning organization that is effectively looking after our interests. We will all suffer for this. It is time to have more care exercised on projects that have such a high impact and risk to the community.

So you think maybe a bit more local choice in such matters would be warranted?
Concentrate on this for moment: "The Incorporated Town of Alamo"
Don't you feel better already...

In humor, Ron, you have cleverly overlooked the issues that motivate construction and the sponsors that pursue such construction in expansion of the Alamo region as a taxable asset. With governments always being the source of such expansion, it would be valuable to our neighbors to better understand how any specific government would be any change from another. A new city government would use the same county general plan, zoning, codes and need for an increased tax base.
Once again, a clever oxymoron that, without detail, hides your self-cancelling phrase.
I applaud your cleverness,

Thank you, neighbors, for your many e-mail comments,
It is quite clear that Contra Costans, in unincorporated communities and cities, are concerned about the increasing numbers of new homes and renovations that are out-of-character with their neighborhoods. More importantly, Contra Costans are disturbed by the construction reaching more than 50 feet skyward on our hillsides and on our ridgelines.
The question is raised by many Contra Costans about who represents them in their communities, cities and county. Many do not know their Contra Costa County Planning Commissioner or how to communicate with various Contra Costa County departments, including Community Development and Public Works. It appears even more difficult in cities to determine and effect communication channels with city planning commissions and personnel.
This Alamo example as "another HOUSE, another HILL" provides for a scope of representative issues. Where are District 3, San Ramon Regional Planning Commissioners, Contra Costa County District 3 Planning Commissioner, Contra Costa County Community Development Department, Alamo Community Council, and Alamo Improvement Association in these issues? What claims can incorporation proponents propose for exceptional planning results in contrast to other cities' record of development?
This is an exceptional subject that should interest all Contra Costa County communities and neighborhoods.
What are your concerns?

Reposted as a request from Alamo neighbors in the Iron Horse corridor:
District 3 Commissioner, Mr. Michael Murray, Contra Costa County Planning Commissioner (and) Alamo neighborhood representatives (were) planning a meeting to discuss establishment of an Alamo Regional Planning Commission, as a so-called SuperMAC, to advise county commissioners, departments and supervisors in planning land use, infrastructure and services for Alamo. An Alamo Regional Planning Commission would consolidate all county agency committees, including AIA planning, SRV Regional Planning Commissioners, and neighborhoods' community counsel into a commission and sub-committees as ONE VOICE for Alamo.
We request that you submit your ideas (and issues) to Mr. Murray at firstname.lastname@example.com. You might further post a comment on the Town Square Forum, Danville Weekly on-line, for Alamo neighbors and regional readers to consider.

Our Gross Regional Product seems to be the oxymoron stated as if obvious and non-cancelling. We love to repeat phrases we likely do not fully understand or appreciate their impact. We love to phrase our disrespect for the rights of others. And we care little about protecting our neighbors from the impact of individuals, groups and governments that would somehow redefine our neighbors' rights and interests.
For the majority in Alamo, through personal experiences with individuals and governments, we have learned to act as neighbors and ignore the contents of oxymorons that demand neighbors move rather than rightfully protect themselves.

Here is an update:
The people whom are making these postings are (post edited by Danville Weekly staff) They have had issues with neighbors before. I am one of them.
Yes, she is a granny thus the name Granny Alamo. She wears the pants around the house. Poor Fred has to follow her directions. The guy doesn't want to get involved in this dispute, yet he has to follow the wife's directions. I heard how they tried to buy this vacant lot that they are so opposed to.
They tried to buy it for literary next to nothing. (Pennies on the dollar). Obviously the previous owner rejected it.
Now they are all pissed and are giving this new home owner a hard time.
Shame on you.

Dear Robin,
The postings in the forum chain are for a broader audience of neighbors along the Iron Horse Trail and are made by more than one individual. The specific concerns as a series of lots on hillsides from Hillgrade to south of Ridgewood. The issues are the monsters that will be built and not the interests of any one neighbor's issue with any one project.
Our hillsides and ridgelines are being erased in Alamo by monster homes that are NOT specifically contrained to height limits or other code requirements. The important service of this forum chain is to identify the planning contacts so neighbors can pursue rational resolve of issues with such hillside projects.
Thank you for your concerns and commentary,

Thanks OX.
Point very well taken.
I do hear what you are saying and respect it very well.
I need to point out that this specific case is not about one neighbor caring for ridgeline or monster homes. A home owner is angry at another home owner and is using Alamo beautification and height limits as an excuse to level the playing fields. Many years back, I was put on the spot by neighbors like them. Now I support people that are being victimized.
I promise you if their mother, uncle or sisters were building a mega home next door to them, they would not have any issues or concern.

My office was made aware of concerns on the proposed Ridgewood Drive house as expressed by a constituent on January 17, 2008.
We contacted the county's Community Development Department and were advised that the Zoning Administrator's (ZA) Hearing was scheduled for February 4, 2008. We informed the constituent that this is the opportunity for community comments or concerns to be expressed on the proposed project. The staff report would be avaialbe 96 hours prior to the ZA Hearing and the Hearing takes place at 651 Pine Street in Martinez.
All those wishing to provide comments should attend this hearing or send written comments to the Contra Costa County Community Development Department, Attention: Zoning Administrator by regular mail to 651 Pine Street, 4th Floor North Wing, Martinez, CA 94553 or by phone at (925) 335-1210.
With regard to the county's compliance with the Brown Act and its mandated community notification requirements, my office has confirmed that a notice was mailed to all residents whose property is within 300 feet of project site on January 23. An advertisement was placed in the San Ramon Valley Times and ran on January 25th, and the Alamo Improvement Association (AIA) was notified as requested. In addition, comments provided by the AIA have been included in the staff report. Additional notices were sent to adjacent property owners and the AIA early December, 2007.
I have been advised that the Community Development staff are recommending that the project be modified in response to the comments received to the county by the Alamo community.
The ZA Hearing allows an additional opportunity for residents to express their views on the project. The ZA decision can be appealed by either party to the San Ramon Valley Planning Commission which, as indicated above, includes a number of members from Alamo.
If anyone has any questions on this proposal or any others in the county's jurisdiction, please contact my office at 820-8683 or via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you.

Dear Supervisor Piepho,
Thank you for your thorough response to the specific issue that started this forum chain. Please understand the Iron Horse neighborhoods are concerned about several lots on Ridgelines and hillsides that are being initially developed for permit and construction. The area reaches from Rudgear on the north to south of Ridgewood.
It is the concern of Iron Horse neighbors that construction will be very large homes out of character with neighbors that will create stress on the ridgeline and hillside environment and endanger the neighbors on surrounding property. Further, the concerns are the height of such monsters and their impact on the skyline of the Iron Horse neighborhoods.
Finally, in the past, there were fees charged for any neighbor to raise concerns through Community Development and it should not be a cost to neighbors to protect themselves.
Once again, thank you for your response and please address the concerns of neighbors.
In kind regards,
Hal Bailey

Dear Supervisor Piepho and neighbors,
We must appreciate our supervisor taking specific interest in a single project among the many being considered on the western hillside and ridgeline of the Alamo (Diablo Vista) region. These very steep lots will be covered with homes that reach far above 35 feet height limits and will be major structures in our skyline view.
Among the Iron Horse neighbors north of Alamo Plaza, we hope the supervisor will take a collective view in planning how homes fit our neighborhoods, provide drainage and hillside stability and impact the overall skyline view of our region.

I welcome any home that is built on Ridgewood rd. The bigger the home the better. The home acts as a barrier for any land slide. It is like a retaining wall.

Dear neighbors,
AS we review the defense of monster boxes that will erase our skyline and fill our view, we should simply, together, claim the nature of how homes should fit our neighborhoods in character and preservation of our hillsides and ridgelines. Careful consideration of the stress put on the slopes and distribution of drainage should be part of fitting every project into its neighborhood.
Any claim that large construction aids our neighborhoods must be proven in clear demonstration of how such results will match the character of a neighborhood, hillsides and ridgelines.

You can not compare today's home with homes built in the 60's.
Back in the 60's, a 2000 sqft home was considered a mega home.
Today, only a condo is 2000 sqft.
How can you fit a new home with old homes and call is compatible.
I am an engineer that lives on the hill. I designed my own foundation. It is common sense that large homes aid hill sides. Please pick up a phone and call a soil engineer and have him tell you if a home acts or doesn't act as a wall against the hillside.

on Feb 9, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Dear CJ,
The issue is the scar that a large home does to our skyline and the lack of real review of any planning of the building site. In Alamo, we have seen ugly, monster boxes, one after another, placed on hillsides and we must look at that oversized, over-height reality in our skyline and all the issues created downhill.
The character of a neighborhood is the issue and the reality that planning does not resolve hill stability and drainage is a larger issue. Contra Costa County does not have authority for drainage because such issues are the responsibility of a State Special District.
Ugly monsters are an oxymoron. Thank you for your opinion and the Iron Horse neighbors would support a rational addition to our skyline.

You are entitled to your opinion.
I will give you an example. I was at a dinner party not too long ago. There is this guy (information was removed by Danville Weekly because it contained unsubstantiated claims and allegations). He says he is an architect, yet he can't design worth a dime. He has had a client that once complaint about him. I can't remember what it was. Now he is going up and down Ridgewood rd telling people he is an expert architect and wants to design homes for other people.
There is this new construction on the corner of GranVia and Ridgewood. This guy actually criticized the architect for this beautiful house.
The point is that these people have nothing but time on their hand and are just a useless part of our society.

Dear neighbors,
Please refer to "Conflicts in the Iron Horse Corridor" for continuation of discussions of hillside and ridgeline in-fill as only one of the issues of the Iron Horse Neighbors within the Diablo Vista (Alamo) Region. The specific discussion of one example of in-fill has become personal and inappropriate for discussion among neighbors.
Susan, Iron Horse neighbors.

"Myth vs. Reality"
Original post made by This is rich, Atherton: other, on May 20, 2013

Web Link
Here's the text of their myth vs. reality essay.
Myths vs Reality
Myth: Atherton Police Officers face fewer dangers than Officers from other nearby agencies such as Redwood City, Menlo Park, and East Palo Alto. Certainly, the pace of incidents in Atherton are fewer. And, the Department is staffed appropriately. Atherton Police does not field dozens of Officers each shift. When an incident occurs, all of our resources are quickly absorbed.
Example One:
DUI Driver Crashes into Two Atherton Patrol Cars
On 11-11-2009, Sergeant Kockler was issuing a citation to a driver, a routine incident for us. This video shows how quickly our job becomes dangerous. A DUI driver crashed into the Police car behind Sergeant Kockler's, throwing not only him, but also the original violator to the ground. The cars sustained major damage, but fortunately, the Officers and citizen suffered only minor injuries. This video was captured using Sergeant Kockler's VieVu video camera he wore on his uniform shirt.
Example Two:
Suicidal Man Found with Gun in Holbrook Palmer Park
On May 8, 2013, Atherton Police responded to a report a man in Holbrook Palmer Park who threatened to kill himself to a Little League Coach. Upon our arrival, we found the person in his car parked on the path leading from a parking lot to the tennis courts. He was despondent and uncooperative. Officers were able to safetly detain him before he harmed himself or others. Two loaded handguns were found inside his car.
Example Three:
The Town's Transportation Committee often states that the Police Officers do not write enough citations. They claim we give out too many warnings. In fact, our Agency issues a great number of speeding citations. Recently, KPIX ran a story about the Bay Area agency that hands out the most citations. They didn't ask for Atherton's number in preparing their story. But, if they had, they would have discovered that Atherton was at the top of the list. Moreover, Atherton issues far more speeding citations than many other larger local agencies with dedicated traffic units

Re. example 3 - they issue far more speeding tickets than any other agency BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO!
Oh, and please tell me where the "danger" is in writing speeding tickets. I wrote plenty of citations back in the day. Aside from not knowing what was in the car you stopped until you get up to it, there's not much danger there. Besides, any cop worth his salt has a pretty good idea if his stopping John Q Citizen or a dirt bag. So, he can be on alert.

I wanted to post a link to news stories about San Mateo County Sheriff deputies providing police escorts for party guests, for getting tips from homeowners for helping them enter their inadvertently locked homes and for watering lawns and picking up newspapers when residents were on vacation.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any news stories about these dangerous, high risk practices. At least not with by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department.

Israeli official sees Gaza invasion as 'very high possibility'
On a day rattled by a fury of air attacks, Israel and Hamas found themselves Wednesday searching for a way forward, with a senior Israeli military official declaring that a ground invasion of Gaza was a "very high possibility."
Israel announced it would observe a unilateral "humanitarian truce" for five hours Thursday to allow Gaza residents to stock up on food and other supplies and allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians. The pause in fighting was requested by the United Nations, said army spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner.
It was unclear whether Hamas would also hold its fire. The militant group rejected an earlier cease-fire proposed by Egypt, and a top Hamas leader declared that the Islamist militant group was alone in the world as it battled Israel.
Hamas continued to shower rockets Wednesday into southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv, underscoring the extent to which the militants believe they still have the military capability to persuade Israel to accept their terms, analysts said.
"From their rationale, they are holding strong, as if they have nothing to lose," said Miri Eisen, a former Israeli army intelligence official. He added: "If they feel they have nothing to lose, they can continue this for a long time."
That attitude is bringing increasing pressure on Israel. Hundreds of Israeli airstrikes have killed hundreds of Palestinians but have done little to stop Hamas rockets from striking Israeli towns. Human rights activists are accusing Israel of killing innocent civilians and possibly committing war crimes. Egypt, once a reliable ally, no longer seems to have the negotiating clout it once had.
All this is generating discussions - within Israeli political and military circles and on television, radio and editorial pages - of a possible ground invasion of Gaza in the coming days. In Tel Aviv, a high-ranking Israeli military official told reporters Wednesday, "If you want to efficiently fight terrorism, you need to have boots on the ground."
More than 113 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel on Wednesday, according to the Israeli military.
By Wednesday night, 222 people had been killed in Gaza during the nine-day operation, including 49 minors and 24 women, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. More than 1,600 people have been wounded in Gaza, the officials said.
Among the latest casualties were four Palestinian children, all under the age of 12, who were killed by an Israeli missile or shell while playing on a beach in Gaza near a hotel used by foreign journalists, according to witnesses and Palestinian officials. The four boys were cousins. Seven others - adults and children - were reported wounded in the strike.
The Israeli army, calling the incident tragic, said the target had been a Hamas operative.
President Barack Obama addressed the situation in brief White House remarks. Although he did not specifically mention to beachfront deaths, he said, "We are all heartbroken by the violence, . . . especially the death and injury of so many innocent civilians in Gaza." Obama said the United States would continue to "use all our diplomatic resources and relationships" to bring about a lasting cease-fire. "In the meantime," he said, "we are going to support efforts to protect civilians in Israel and Gaza."
For the first time in the conflict, Israel on Wednesday used its airstrikes to target the homes of top Hamas political leaders. They included Mahmoud Zahar, a founder of Hamas who played a prominent role in the Islamist militant group's 2007 takeover of Gaza.
The strike on Zahar's four-story house toppled its facade into the garden. Zahar was nowhere to be found Wednesday; he fled before the Israeli operation began and is assumed to be in hiding.
A neighbor, Ahmed al-Jarosha, said: "We knew when the cease-fire was rejected that we would start to see the Israelis hit political leaders. It is no surprise."
The homes of three other Hamas leaders who are also members of the Palestinian Legislative Council were hit by airstrikes early Wednesday. None of politicians was injured.
In another possible signal of its intentions, Israel urged tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza to evacuate border areas.
Hamas leaders called for Gazans to remain in their homes. The militants did not stop evacuees from leaving but did not assist them. Hamas doctrine holds that those who abandon a neighborhood are following the orders of the occupiers.
"What is the real problem? Hamas asking people to stay in their own homes? Or the Israelis threatening their lives if they stay in their homes?" said Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas political leader.
Israelis condemn the practice as a cynical use of human shields. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has said, "We are using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles."
Israel came under sharp criticism Wednesday for its tactics. The watchdog group Human Rights Watch said Israeli air attacks in Gaza were targeting civilian structures and killing civilians, acts that could constitute war crimes. Israel has denied such allegations.
Hamas and other Palestinian militants boast that if there is a ground invasion of Gaza, they would use it as an opportunity to prove their mettle, saying that Israeli airstrikes would cease during the invasion and Israeli soldiers would be vulnerable to attack.
"It is best when the Israeli soldiers come to us," said Abu Ahmed, chief spokesman for the militant group Islamic Jihad, whose rocket arsenal and numbers of fighters in Gaza is second only to Hamas.
"We know the terrain. It is our land," he said.
Others in Gaza warn that a ground incursion by Israel would create a humanitarian crisis and a potential bloodbath. "It would be a catastrophe," said Mkhaimar Abusada, a political scientist at Al-Azhar University in Gaza.
Hamas has struggled as a government to deliver a better life for the people of Gaza. Its military wing has achieved some success in the current conflict: Its rockets reached farther than before, causing air sirens to sound repeatedly over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and Hamas managed to penetrate Israeli airspace with a drone.
"But Hamas today as a military doesn't have much beyond rockets, and the arsenal is not renewable" because the smuggling tunnels from Egypt are closed and Israel does not allow Gaza to have a seaport or airport," said Ibrahim Ibrash, a former culture minister in Gaza.
Hamas also finds itself more isolated than ever. Standing in front of the Shifa Medical Center, Gaza's largest hospital, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri complained that Gaza and Hamas have been abandoned even by their brothers. "The Arab world has done nothing. The Arab world is silent about Gaza."
Hamas leaders now openly heap scorn on Egypt's new government, headed by President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, and complain that Cairo is working closely with the Israelis to crush the Islamist movement. "The Egypt media attacks Gaza. Shame on you. The Arab position is shameful," Abu Zuhri said.
Booth reported from Gaza and Eglash reported from Tel Aviv. Washington Post staff writer Karen DeYoung in Washington contributed to this report.

Mood: WOOF!
JR is playing amazing ball. he has 21 points and he's only taken like 2 or 3 jumpshots. he's constantly attacking the rim. like i said before it's as if a light bulb went on in his head. if he plays like this in the playoffs we'll be a very tough out. he's our X factor.
we all know he can get hot from 3 and make those contested step backs, but he's no longer relying on them to score.
no Rondo, no garnett they should be winning...

how about that shot at the buzzer? JR tha Gawd lol giving the celtics the pipe.
And all i said, is this is a big wk for the knicks , as we beat 4crap teams, and i want to see how they play against some solid teams this wk before i start believing there back to playing like they did early on in the season, which was a long long time ago now.. From Dec 17th to March 18th, they were under 500.. Sorry, thats along time, and it takes alittle more then winning 4games against sub 500teams before u start believing again.. I mean in a 3month span, this team was a under 500team.. Even now, we still have yet to beat a 500team on this win streak..
I don't believe in something just for sake of believing because its my team.. I believe in teams that look worthy on the court, and simply hope my team gets better and plays better..
They have looked great over this 5game win streak, and as i said, if they have a big wk with Boston twice and memphis, im gonna start believing they are back on track, and i never would of guessed Kenyon Martin would of had this kinda impact, i just never seen it coming, as i've said to u more then once now..
This was a big test to me, even thought Boston dosen't have Garnett, and they passed the test.. I wanted to see them go 3-1 this wk, and they just might do it..
I mean, its not hard to see why u would lose faith in a team that was like under

Will Rand Paul's SOTU response force Marco Rubio to toughen his own?
Paul told CNN over the weekend that his speech is not intended to be "divisive," but is simply an "extra response." Appearing on "State of the Union with Candy Crowley," he said that while he might emphasize some things that "maybe Marco doesn't" (he cited foreign aid as one example), he wasn't planning to use the occasion to highlight intra-party disagreements: "I won't say anything on there that necessarily is like, 'Marco Rubio is wrong.'"
But there's clearly an emerging rivalry between the two men – both considered likely 2016 presidential candidates – that reflects the larger split within the Republican Party. Paul himself seemed to unintentionally acknowledge this when he added: "I don't always agree [with Rubio], but the thing is, this isn't about he and I [sic], this is about the tea party." …
By contrast, Paul is emerging as 2016's most intriguing dark-horse contender. In many ways, he's the inheritor of the independent, outside-the-box mantle of his libertarian father, former GOP Rep. and presidential candidate Ron Paul. But he's also trying to position himself as a more traditionally conservative, tea party candidate in the mold of, say, Representative Bachmann. As someone who clearly isn't taking marching orders from the GOP establishment, Paul could present a real challenge to the eventual party frontrunner – whether Rubio or someone else – and push the entire field to the right.

That's it, I'll see the results later on tonight. I honestly don't care anymore, at least not enough to watch the final 3.
Somebody with feed, what happened to Czisny?

Flying camel into donut into catchfoot
3Lo step out
3F fall
2A step out
1T step out
Beautiful combination spin
Lovely layback
Czisny will most likely make the GPF
Phooey, was hoping she'd come closer to clean than that. But she will do no worse than 4th, so I think that puts Alissa in the GPF, no?
Goodness, just looked at score details. So far, Mae B. Meite has highest TES.
Cizney is in 5th. Assuming the top three stay on the podium, will be make it to GPF??
104.30 for Alyssa in the FS, with a total of 159.80 for the event.
Haruka, Mirai, and Kiira all have to have solid skates, with either Mirai or Kiira scoring over 178 for Alyssa not to go to the Final.
WOW That score is way to high for what Alissa did! 3 triples and over 100 points - shades of Lepisto here!- Guess the judges want to make sure the American ladies make it to the final.

Current Weather: Holland, MI

Rehabilitation following a traumatic event or major surgery often involves considerable time, effort, and expense in an attempt to restore a sense of normalcy to the patient. A key component of returning life to normal can be found in balance, namely without balance, many of the activities associated with normal life become nearly impossible. Despite trends towards evidentiary-based medicine, the instrumentation of rehabilitation is still quite costly easily eclipsing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. The recent rise in inexpensive motion-based video hardware afford unique opportunities to leverage of the economy of scale afforded by said hardware through the development of customized, rehabilitation-centric solutions. In this talk, I will present an overview of the WeHab rehabilitation system developed by an inter-disciplinary team at the University of Notre Dame that leverages the low-cost nature of the Wii Balance Board to deliver a radically low-cost solution for instrumenting and delivering real-time feedback during rehabilitation. I will conclude the talk with a vision of where rehabilitation is going and how advances in gaming are delivering a greater social good by enabling such applications.

What is a database?
Librarians are always talking about "databases." What are databases, anyway?
A database is a collection of data organized for rapid search and retrieval by a computer. Examples of databases are Amazon.com, Academic Search Premier, and the library catalog.
It is useful to think of databases as containers of information. Just as your refrigerator has many containers of food, a library has many containers or databases of information.

Reality Check: Doyle's First Campaign Ad
Governor Is Running Against U.S. Rep. Mark Green
MADISON, Wis. - In a blueprint for re-election, Gov. Jim Doyle released his first campaign TV commercial. It features several supporters praising Doyle's record.
The ad covers nine fiscal and social policy areas. A WISC-TV analysis found some claims need clarification.
In the ad, Doyle is credited with cleaning up messy state finances; one voter said Doyle, "Closed the biggest deficit ever and balanced the budget."
Doyle faced a $3.2 billion state budget deficit; the ad correctly identifies that as a record. Yet, Doyle takes credit for balancing the budget. By Wisconsin law, he can't run deficits like the federal government. Plus, in part, he's pushed the problem to the next budget.
The state faces a $1.5 billion dollar hole in the next two-year fiscal plan, which will be hammered out after the election.
The ad goes on to praise Doyle for signing "one of the toughest" sex predator laws in the nation "to protect our kids."
But it doesn't mention that Doyle signed two bills introduced and sponsored by Republicans. The legislation toughens penalties and started GPS monitoring of certain sex offenders. Neither idea came from the governor.
"He [Doyle] doubled financial aid for college," a supporter said in the ad. Again, the ad leaves out the full story. Tuition has increased more than 30 percent in the last four years. At UW-Madison, it's now $6,000 a year.
Nathan and Pat Johnson talked about their property tax bill decrease in 2005 in the commercial. But, the ad left out an analysis by the Doyle administration, which showed the average bill increased by $23. However, that increase is one of the lowest in the past decade.
Also in the ad, Erica Gottschalk told TV viewers Doyle is "requiring" a third year of high school math and science. Yet, on the screen, it said it's only been "proposed." In fact, Doyle first floated the idea in his 2005 State of the State address. But, it was never in his budget and a separate piece of legislation this session never got a vote and didn't reach the governor's desk.
On taxes, another supporter said the governor kept his promise not to raise taxes. WISC-TV found if you only look at sales, income and corporate taxes, the statement is true. But, property taxes are up and some fees have been raised to fill budget holes.
The ad also gives Doyle credit for saving SeniorCare for 100,000 seniors. The ad left out how the program could be cut by next summer if the federal Department of Health and Human Services doesn't give Wisconsin a waiver extension.
And WISC-TV found this next claim "needs clarification":
"He [Doyle] stopped extreme lawmakers from making stem cell research illegal and raised millions so scientists can one day find a cure for my daughter's diabetes," said Jody Montgomery.
Doyle's campaign staff cite his veto of Assembly Bill 499. It would have banned all human cloning. That part of the bill is almost universally agreed on. But, it would have also banned "therapeutic" cloning. It is one technique used by researchers looking for tomorrow's cures.
WISC-TV found the ad makes people believe the bill would have stopped stem cell work entirely and that's not true.
The ad is running in Milwaukee, Green Bay, La Crosse and Wausau media markets. Campaign aides say it'll start running in Madison within the next two weeks.

Nobody's Email: The Art of Lying Starts Young
Nobody Gets Email
Here we see the little liberal. This boy could grow up to be another Clinton. The evidence is on his face, he IS guilty by what all lawyers in court would claim to be circumstantial evidence.
But no matter HOW hard mom tries to get him to tell the truth…his self-preservation wins out.
All he needed to do is say, "I did NOT eat pringle's from that jar, not now, not ever." Or
"Turkey? This is the first I've heard about that!" (Hillary denying knowledge of gun-running in Turkey at the Benghazi hearings.)
While this little boy is cute…it reminds us all that people who lie often, start lying when they are little kids. But when they become our "leaders," its never good for us, and we have a whole slew of liars ruling us.
He IS cute though…which works in his favor.

We started reading stories to my daughter when she was tiny, and at the time when we were reading board books we got in the habit of reading two books a night. Eventually when she progressed to chapter books we had to limit it to two chapters a night … and then when the chapters themselves got longer we just decided we'd read "some amount." Although I won't be breaking Alice Ozma's record (we do skip nights when it's late), my wife and I both enjoy the nightly ritual of reading with our kids — especially now that our younger daughter is old enough to share the same books.
My wife is currently on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and I'm reading The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, so there's a mix of drama and humor there. But some of the books I've enjoyed reading out loud the most are the ones that have my girls rolling with laughter. Here are some of our favorites from the past few months.

Organizers say events help revitalize downtown Bristol
BRISTOL, Va./Tenn. - Downtown Bristol comes to life with concerts, antique car shows, even fireworks -- for the first time in more than 20 years, Bristol had Fourth of July fireworks this year.
Organizers say hundreds and hundreds of people showed up despite the rain.
We caught up with event organizers, who told us these events all give people a reason to get downtown and are their way to build a community.
Independence Day Celebrations in downtown Bristol proved to be a red, white, and 'boom' in business for Phyl's of Bristol. "Between 7 and 9 p.m. we had more than 70 people in our store. Lots of new faces," said manager Megan Street.
We learned the store just moved on State Street and employees say one of the biggest selling points was the variety of events. "Not only Border Bash, the fireworks, the car shows, and movies in the park. Rhythm & Roots will be a great way for us to get our stores name out there," added Street.
Over the last few years organizations have been partnering together to revitalize the Twin-Cities downtown and make it great on State. "You want something happening all the time. You want people living, working, shopping, playing here all the time," said Christina Blevins with Believe in Bristol.
That's because not only does it attract tourists, it means lots of cash being spent here in the Tri-Cities.
One prime example is back in August when Bristol welcomed the popular group Mumford & Sons. "On the Virginia side alone there was an over $5 million impact," added Blevins.
For those spending time and money downtown, they say Bristol now has a breath of fresh air. "The new restaurants popping up, the new venues and concerts, it's a lot more fun," said shopper Andy Dickenson.
Organizers say they rely on help from volunteers to make thing like Border Bash happen. If you would like to help out you can contact Believe in Bristol by visiting their website, you can click here.

As close associates with fellow Berlin-based technical brand, BEINGHUNTED secures an interview with Acronym founder, Errolson Hugh in regards to the latest Fall/Winter 2011 collection. The two friends speak candidly over arguably the world's most technically-driven lifestyle brand including the philosophy of Acronym, the new marquee SS-CP1 Cloak, and the development of a women's line. Head over to BEINGHUNTED to see the full interview piece.
Fall/Winter is THE season for jackets, my favorite season (not for the actual weather, though). What jackets, coats, etc. – besides your own – do you like?
I'm (still) into East and West German military at the moment. We recently found a cold war era West German Splitterschutzweste (flak vest). It has an asymmetric closure that's totally unorthodox and, at the same time, totally right. It's amazing..
Before we talk about your new collection, tell us about the development of Acronym as a design studio over the past 2-3 years. You have grown quite a bit?
Two years ago I started working with Johanna, my first assistant in Berlin. Recently, the team has grown to where we can do everything we need to do without ever leaving the building: product, identity, film, strategy, dumplings, cake, interpretive dance… We're all freelance, and all running additional individual projects, so there's massive throughput. Lots to do. Lots to absorb. Lots to learn. Michaela in Brooklyn, Turbo in Tokyo, Bagjack, and our factory in CZ, continue to evolve as the other major hubs in the network. Watch this space.
All growth is relative, though. The next smallest company doing comparable work is (last I checked) upwards of 50 times larger than we are. The largest players on the field -some tens of thousands of times (yes, that's several million percent bigger). Think about what this means. So, in relation to that, we've grown from infintessimally small, to still really really freaking small. But this is OK; we know Kung Fu.
One of the highlights from the new collection is the SS-CP1 Cloak. How would you rate the balance between functionality and style of this piece and how does this cloak fit into the bigger ACR picture?
Throughout prototyping everyone who saw SS-CP1 had a similar question, 'You're not actually going to make that, are you?'. It developed out of Johanna and I messing around with dead stock fabric at the factory. We were just cutting things up and trying them on. Making things for our own personal use. The early capes immediately felt right, but I wasn't sure they qualified as Acronym. Later, in Los Angeles, I showed one to Michaela and her reaction was the same as mine, 'Weird, but somehow… great.' Still later, and then back in Berlin, a friend (concept designer Stephen Platt) and I were discussing movement and posture, low and high ready position… stance (yeah, we talk about this kind of stuff all the time). I showed him a proto, and we had the idea to add Interops functionality to it. That's when it really finally clicked.
In the end, what makes an Acronym piece, for me, is a very specific kind of balance, but it's not something I can describe well with words. Technical as it may be, it can't be reduced to a formula. So, no, SS-CP1 is not protective in the same way a jacket is. And, yes, it violates pretty much every design rule there is for technical outerwear. It is, however, totally Acronym. Absolutely. I was wearing mine today.
For the first time your collection also has three styles for women: a trench coat, a variable softshell, and a cloak. What is the difference in designing women's pieces for Acronym as compared to men's?
Conceptually, there's no difference whatsoever. Practically, there are the obvious anatomic and physiological differences, and, of course, the differing degree of knowledge and experience that we can bring to bear. We're just getting started with women's wear. It's wide open, uncharted territory.

I was at a local museum this weekend and they had an observation hive. The entrance was a PVC pipe, at one section was only 3/4" with most of it being 1 1/4 or so. The entrance tube went to the side, then directly up about 10 feet, then thru the outside wall.
My question is will a hive survive with a setup like that? I'd love to put an observation hive on the back porch. I don't need nearly that long of an entrance but it would be nice to get the entrance a bit away from normal porch traffic.
The entrance they have seems like it would be prohibitive.

Planted 20 borage plants and 6 anise hyssop plants. They are in full bloom butterflies and bumblebees all over them the honey bees pay no attention to them why?
Planted 20 borage plants and 6 anise hyssop plants. They are in full bloom butterflies and bumblebees all over them the honey bees pay no attention to them why?
There is probably another source of nectar that is more abundant for the time being. Keep water and your borage should flower for quit sometime.
I've found the same thing here, they don't seem to do the borage and anise hyssop but they all over the catmint and apple mint and white dutch clover.
My bees are working the anise blue hyssop like crazy, the borage not so much right now but at other times of year they really like it.
None on my Borage either. I suspect mine are all down the road a ways at the alfalfa trial field. 20ish acres of 10 ft. rowas of several varieties, most of which are in full bloom.
They cut the alfalfa field I believe my bees were frequenting. I now see my light yellow bees on most of my local fodder (borage, garden, weeds, etc.) along with some larger, darker honeybees and the usual characters.
With the size that these borage plants got in 2.5 months, and the amount of flowers that a few plants display.....I am in the planning stages of putting in several sizable plots in all the areas that I hate mowing the darn grass. I'm thinking a mix of several types of flowers, but I think borage would easily out grow and smother most other plants.
I did snag some alsike clover seed from the feed mill last week. I'm going to use this as a "cover" crop for my hop yard and the tall grass area around my bee yard; and anywhere else I think it will sprout. I have also spotted many stands of white sweet clovers that I am going to thresh when the seeds ripen a bit.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by Sam I Am, Apr 2, 2012.
Haha wow. Elvis taking Weaver deep.
This is a frustrating game. Our offense has failed to capitalize two times on Jared Weaver. This should be at least a 1run game by this point (top of 6).
Hopefully they will come through and take at least two from this series.
Yeah, really disappointing that Josh couldn't do anything with bases loaded in the 3rd. I mean, I understand going through a slump...but 6 weeks man? C'mon man...
So I'll be in Dallas 24-26 August to see the Boys take on the Rams on Saturday, but the Rangers are also in town. What better way to make an awesome sports weekend than to see baseball and football?
So, my question is: where are the best seats in the house? I like to sit around the infield. Does Rangers Ballpark have anything like Nationals Park here in DC where the 2nd tier of seats around the infield are covered/have indoor concessions? Price isn't an object.
Darvish DOMINANT today... 11K 3W 2R...
Napoli is back!
Not really, pretty much all in that great Texas heat. They have a club type thing in center field and of course suites in between the decks. But they have all you can eat seats in the upper homerun porch in right field and the free (with price of ticket) food is all served inside with available seating in the concession area, but it's pretty far from the action. As long as it is a night game though the heat isn't bad at all. Personally I always like homerun porch in lower right field just because I enjoy heckling the other teams' right fielder
Hope this helps.
Sounds like great weekend!
The Rangers do have a second tier covered area behind the 3rd base side. I've sat there before and liked it. August is so hot you want to be in the shade even in the 7pm games.
Then in the outfield they have areas that allow you to go into air conditioned burger joints from your seats to watch the game and take break from the heat.
Thanks for the info...looking forward to the trip!
To drop the finally with Harrison pitching is a big disappointment. Glad I missed it.
Harrison pitched ok. He didn't get shelled - there's just a lot of guys on the Angels who can hit and hit with power. Ogando has not pitched that great since coming back from the DL... at least not at the level we expect him. I'm not that concerned about our pitching, overall, though. It's the offense that needs a little spark.
Colby Lewis done for the year, having surgery on his arm.
Perez is starting tomorrow, any guesses on a long term replacement?
Terrible. A trade is definitely going to come. Cliff Lee?
I have no idea, since teams know we have a need the price will go up. Just have to have faith that Daniels wont panic and over pay.
Wonder which ones of our prospects goes on the block?
I'd say that the highest we'd give up in Olt. I'd imagine if it's anybody like Lee or Hamels they are going to demand Profar, which wont happen. Realistically it will probably not be an ace level player.
I don't want to give up Olt. What if we lose Nap and Ham to FA? We might need Olt's power at 1B with Young over the hill and Nap no longer around and maybe Moreland gets shifted to LF.
Look out for Josh Johnson from the Marlins. Rangers had a scout in attendance to watch his start today (6 IP, 1H, 9K).
Marlins made a trade yesterday that makes it look like they are giving up on the season. JJ has one more year on his contract so we'll be able to keep him next year. He's a righty that we mix in with the lefty combo of holland/harrison.
Hamels I think will re-up with the phillies in the next few days. Garza, Greinke, and TB pitchers do nothing for me.
Jon Daniels better pounce if we can get JJ without giving up Olt.
I think Olt will be good, but I'm not sold. I don't know why. I wish we had a catcher then I really wouldn't mind losing Napoli. Doubt Moreland gets shifted anywhere. If anything Gentry will be a full time starter with Martin rotating around. We could possibly move Kinsler to the outfield and call up Profar. Have Olt play 1st or Moreland.
I second this. I just read marlins are having a firesale.
I don't think the Rangers will go for Greinke, but may go for Hamels or Johnson. Just hope they don't give too much for a pitcher. Hopefully Perez will have a strong outing like Feldman had last night.

2013 Frankfurt: Lexus LF-NX Concept First Look
Hybrid Crossover Concept Previews Sub-RX SUV
While some other luxury brands have been tentative in their offering of SUVs, offering only one or two models, crossovers are the bread and butter of the brand, with the Lexus RX consistently the brand's best-selling model for most of the past decade. For those seeking larger and more sumptuous models, Lexus also offers the GX and LX models. But until now, there has not been a model below the RX to entice first-time luxury buyers into a Lexus showroom. But that may be about to change. The Lexus LF-NX concept signals the brand's intention to offer a crossover model below the RX in size and price to offer shoppers new to the luxury segment another reason to visit a Lexus showroom.
Dimensionally, the LF-NX splits the difference between the current Lexus RX and Toyota RAV4. Its overall length of 182.7 inches is about 5 inches shorter than an RX, and just under 3 inches longer than a RAV4. Its wheelbase of 106.3 inches is 1.6 inches shorter than an RX and 1.6 inches longer than the RAV4's. Powering the concept is a 2.5-liter I-4 hybrid powertrain, a familiar combination used in the Avalon, Lexus ES hybrid, and Camry Hybrid.
Stylistically, the LF-NX follows the pattern established by the restyled 2014 IS sedan, with a sharper edge to the Lexus L-Finesse design language. The signature Lexus "spindle" grille in particular gets a dramatically large opening, with a prominent lower opening that tapers outward, surrounded by a brushed metal opening. The LED driving light strips seen on the IS also make an appearance here, separated from the low-profile LED headlights.
The edginess of the LF-NX's design is most apparent around the door area, with a sharply sculpted accent running from the front to rear door, as well as an angular rear fender flare. The prominent horizontal edge housing the front running lights also forms the leading edge of the front fender line, which tapers back into the top front of door. Conspicuously absent from the exterior styling of the LF-NX is any visible exhaust pipe, a deliberate omission to accentuate the concept's green credentials.
The interior of the LF-NX is just as edgy as the exterior, with contrasting yellow and black leather surfaces, and a center console with alternating straked and mesh detailing. Similar to Audi's MMI interface, the LF-NX features what Lexus calls a "Remote Touch Interface" with a tracer display at the front edge of the center armrest for comfortable, intuitive use. Interior accent lighting is a cool and trendy blue. As also seems to be the show car trend, the LF-NX has a full-length center console, making it a four-seater.
Rumors of an entry-level Lexus crossover below the RX have been simmering for some time. The appearance of the LF-NX on the show circuit lends additional credibility to the brand's intention of further broadening its crossover lineup. Expect to see a production-intent version of the LF-NX sometime in calendar 2014 or 2015, for possible introduction as a 2016 model.

JENNINGS — Two Jennings men were arrested on multiple charges after they threw a Molotov cocktail at a home Monday night, authorities said.
Kristopher Watkins, 18, and Leslie I. Baker Jr., 17, were charged with aggravated arson, conspiracy to commit simple arson and manufacturing of a delayed-action incendiary device.
They were booked into the city jail without bond and were transferred to the parish jail Tuesday, Police Chief Todd D'Albor said.
"We received a call at 8:15 p.m. Monday that what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail had been thrown at a residence on Roberta Avenue," he said.
"There were two people in the house when the incendiary device was being thrown. There was also potential for the house to catch fire, and it could have led to fatal actions."
Bricks had been thrown through a window at the same residence on two previous occasions, D'Albor said.
Watkins and Barker will face charges in those incidents, D'Albor said.
Authorities are also investigating threatening text messages sent from a device police have linked to one of the men.
Watkins was involved in a vandalism case in Lafayette involving a family member of the Roberta Avenue residents, neither of whom was harmed in Monday's incident, D'Albor said.

Angelina Jolie is one of the most beautiful celebrity. Here we are presenting some Beautiful photos of Angelina Jolie and hope you will enjoy and like it
Angelina Jolie is an hollywood actress and director. She was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011.
Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in Lookin' to Get Out (1982), but her film career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in the cyber-thriller Hackers (1995).
Jolie achieved wide fame after her portrayal of video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and established herself among the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with the sequel The Cradle of Life (2003).
She born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California, Jolie is the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. She is the sister of actor James Haven, niece of singer-songwriter Chip Taylor, and goddaughter of actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell.
Jolie had a serious boyfriend for two years from the age of 14. Her mother allowed them to live together in her home and later, the breakup compelled her to dedicate herself to her acting career at the age of 16.
In 2011, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres presented Jolie with a gold pin reserved for the most long-serving staff, in recognition of her decade as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

The Following article, excerpted below, appeared in the Washington Post (7/13/06):
"Last April, he [Jason Kamras] became the District's first National Teacher of the Year…As the nation's premier pedagogue, he visited more than 40 states and two continents to encourage teachers to work beyond inequalities in urban public schools…."
"By June 1 this year, at event No. 130, his words routinely brought people to tears. He even inspired retired teachers to return to the classroom…."
"This fall, Kamras returns to his classroom with a redefined purpose, a new magic trick and a maxim that resonates with youths and adults alike: Even a teacher never stops learning… Kamras started teaching at Sousa in 1996. He came as a member of Teach for America, a program placing college graduates in schools in low-income communities for two years…."
"At Sousa, Kamras successfully lobbied to double the time students spent in math class each week. Afterward, the number of children rated as having "below basic" levels on the Stanford 9 math exams was halved, from 80 percent to 40 percent…."
"The more he shared about his teaching, Kamras said, the more members of his audience would share about themselves. And the more he learned…."
"'Like many teachers, I had thought NCLB was an attack on public education,' Kamras said. 'Now I have a much more positive view, because it's forcing everyone to pay attention to the achievement of children who'd been ignored.'"

And a horrifying plot. Strolling around town in search of yet another chaos emerald, Sonic and crew run into the Babylon Rogues, a conveniently placed trio with powers that rival the Sonic team. Not to be outdone, Sonic swipes one of their Extreme Gears (read: hoverboard) and gets racing to protect his rep. And somehow, Eggman is behind it all. Didn't we used to call him Robotnik?
Alas, while the plot is woefully up on blocks, the tracks are pretty fast. There are three character classes: Speed, Fly, and Power (or Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, respectively.) Every track has shortcuts specific to each type of character as well as a bunch of alternate paths anyone can take. Creatively designed, they work well enough to keep you guessing and engaged, and the races haul very much ass.
However, the racing itself gets buried under scads of mechanics. Your success is primarily tied to an Air meter, which allows you to boost, drift, attack, and defend from enemies. You can refill this by busting tricks that also net you a speed boost if landed well, essentially SSX Lite. Much of Sonic Riders requires very precise control at high speeds, but the trick portion is as easy as punching a face button and holding a direction. The simple trick system feels like a cheap addition since it's so easy to bust moves.
Complicating matters is the Turbulence system, which can quickly save or end your day at the track. When another rider is ahead of you, a crazy half-pipe of air trails them, and if you enter the slipstream you stick to it like a rail, pulling tricks and hauling tail. Magnetized to the draft, you fly right around hairpin turns; as long as you can keep catching streams, you can pretty much set the controller down and watch.
Even so, there's no way to exit a stream until it ends, and one will quite often do so unexpectedly, hopelessly throwing you off a corner or into a wall at breakneck speeds. It can be enormously irritating. Combine that with the trick system, multiple shortcuts, and fighting, and you start to run out of time for the actual racing.
So the action is spotty, but there's a bunch of it. In addition to the fairly short Story modes (one for each team, 6 races each), you can also scoot your hoverboard over to Grand Prix, Time Attack, Tag, Mission and Survival modes. Spanning15 total tracks, that adds up to a good amount of karting, er, boarding.
Mission mode is definitely the most engrossing. Unlocked after beating the first half of Story mode, this gives you a set of five missions per track dealing with one of the Babylon Rogues. While the missions vary little from track to track, there are about 100 altogether and each one focuses on a different component of the many-faceted system, allowing you to actually accomplish one thing, like bust tricks or collect rings, instead of juggle five. Since you can complete missions in any order you like, it never becomes stale.
Once you start clearing modes, you'll play as an assortment of Sonic's friends including Shadow (evil Sonic), Jet (bird Sonic), Amy Rose (girl Sonic), Rouge (bat Sonic) and Wave (bird Sonic+girl Sonic). You'll also be able to shop for new rides with rings collected from any mode, including skate and bike types. Small gameplay alterations correspond to each type, like using less air, more boosts, etc., but everything plays pretty much the same way. Yes, it's extra content, but no, it's not particularly compelling.
The multiplayer provides a few more ways to play, the best being the interesting Tag mode. The trick here is that you share one air meter with your teammate and must stay relatively close to one another to progress. There's also a Battle mode, but it's totally unsuited for the game's mechanics, leaving you to spin in a circle trying to catch someone else spinning in a circle to catch you. You can alternately have up to four players compete in the classic Grand Prix and Single Race styles as well, but since it's all offline, you'll have to contend with split-screens and slightly chuggier framerates.
But overall, the graphics ain't half bad. Things can look a little wonky up close, but for the most part, it hauls as well as shines. Everything looks fine and suffers no stutter, even if the tracks are packed full of bling and pow. The story cut scenes look nice, but take into account this game aims for a younger audience, so expect some juvenile banter.
Also expect a boatload of watered down techno. The sound effects are consistently fine and not too hokey (we expected somebody to shout 'Turbo!' every 8 seconds), but nothing to write home about.
Neither is Sonic Riders. It offers interesting gameplay mechanics and a ton of modes, but the pieces don't fit together well, making this mascot racer better suited for a weekend drag race than a 500 lap cruise.

I'm not really questioning why the Zero Squad is taking Ichigo and co. This will be training session part 1 of the arc. They will heal up Byakuya, Renji and Rukia; while that is happening off panel, the Zero Squad (or maybe even the Soul King) will tell Ichigo how to fix his Bankai. Then later, Byakuya and Renji will fix theirs as well, be it off panel or we see even a little bit of it.
To me, it's kind of obvious what direction this will end up taking, but I've been wrong in the past. But that makes the most sense to me. Then eventually, Ichigo will learn about his Quincy powers, but that's another training session.

if it has been abused it will die, and just when we think were in the clear and kubo is actually writing well then.. BOOM! Zombie apocalypse of the plot twists! And its not a slow old fashioned shambling kind of zombie plot resurrection, its the kubo special super fast 28 days later kind of plot twist that will turn content fans into the moaning bitching people we turn into when kubo pulls one of his signature plot twists in less than 24 hours after the chapters release.
But unlike many of you, I am prepared for this zombie plot apocalypse, I've stocked piled Ao no exorcist, death note, the old bleach chapters manga, plenty of yogscast video's, and all the books of "song of ice and fire" series that i haven't red yet in my roombunker. Even if kubo does do i'll be to fixated on seeing arya starkk being the awesome little killing mashine she is to give a fuck about kubo.

I enjoyed the chapter this week. Zero Squad members exceeded my expectations as far as their personalities were concerned. They all seem pretty likable for now--especially the healer. He instantly got my respect when he pwned Soifon. My favorite part was when he told Unohana that what she's meant to do now was not healing. What's particularly interesting here was the fact that he referred to her by "Retsu" (in quotes)--almost as if to directly imply her new role now is to do justice to her name. This guy must be pretty old if he's actually supposed to be Unohana's senior.
Sounds to me as if Kubo's just officially took Unohana off her leash. This should be fun. I also can't wait to see what "IT" looks like. (And by "IT", I'm referring to the soul king). I wonder if Aizen will find a way to sneak on-board. lol

Im actually very impressed with the way kt handled the 0 zero characters. I was expecting a bunch of byakuya like stiffs but they all seem interesting especially the ever happy bearded man.
I hope he finds a way to finish this series off cleanly since were already at the end game with the king being revealed.

Shutara a great chance it was part of Division 12 she probably was captain Hikifune BEFORE I say anything as she knew her because Mayuri was captain mayuri but now after Urahara was captain after Hikifune not possible that the knew as mayuri was normally in prison or the period Hikifune captains was so before he knew they were in prison but then I doubt that was a mayuri before the twelfth division Hikifune short jespere a flashback then I say everything but his Shutara did not can be part of the divison 12 at the time (but another) because after not need to be in the same divison to have good strong connection example Ukitake / Kyoraku

but it doesn't quite make sense since i thought kisuke started the 12th division being the research bureau. that would mean that she came after kisuke and wasn't a captain...? i don't know. something isn't quite adding up unless the 12th division was a research bureau under hers and mayuri's control 100s of years ago. then she got promoted and mayuri got sentenced to prison and the 12th division became a normal squad until kisuke took over

so kenpachi is just forgotten about lol. So it looks like urahara is going to come to the soul society next chapter to talk to the zero division. Guessing that was him talking at the end. I wonder if we can see the connection between him and the soul king.

Does the whole "Tensa Zangetsu being taken with" thing mean that Ichigo won't actually have a resolution to the issues with him throwing his powers away (which must really mean something to the embodiment of the thrown-away powers)? I hope it doesn't mean that Tensa Zangetsu will just get hax fixed and Ichigo's ridiculous powerup will come completely from nowhere, as seems to be the way in Bleach

Why I am getting a feeling that Ichigo's father is/was the captain of the Zero Squad?
He is as weird as the other five shown, none of the captains from 13 squads has acknowledged him or talked about him, marrying off with a Quincy...Yamamoto would have not allowed it if he were under his jurisdiction.

Ichigo's expression was pretty much a part of my first impression of Zero Squad (Can ya blame me? xD) But I actually ended up liking this chapter too.
So the plump woman IS Kirio, where I went =_=, BUT as Shinji has hinted, she looked different before and has changed considerably. At least my first impression of 'motherly figure' look wasn't wrong. Guess it's a from 'motherly' to 'big mama' look now. A part of me wonders if Kubo will pull of a 'turns into skinny/beauty during the battle' for Hikifune.
Shutara is a little more devious than I thought, just snatching the people on the list just like that. And are those really her arms? Or are they just some mechanical-like attachments (perhaps maybe kido or zanpaktou ability?). Either way, I did like her playful/arrogant tone she had with Mayuri.
Bonze (if that's his first or nickname) is sort of what I expected, except for being a little too jolly. I was thinking it'd be a mix of jolly + wisdom. Guess I need more chapters of this guy to get a better impression.
But the char that takes the cake is the Yakuza dude. I was really surprised that HE was/still is the senior to Unohana. I'd never expected a dude looking like this to be the team healer, which is a refreshing change. If anyone's ever played LA Noire, that's one of the only time's I've seen a 'badass' male healer/medic. I also liked how he had the upper hand on Soifon, who is suppose to be a shunpo master. This dude is easily becoming my favourite member of the Zero squad.
Though there is the the smiling tiny dude (I didn't think he'd end up tiny x X), I'm sure will get something about him in the next chap. All that's left now is to see them in action (or a display of their abilities) but from the look of things, the next chapters will be some down time/plot reveal stuff.
