Pat Finucane murder - British state sweeps the dirt under the carpet
ireland / britain | imperialism / war | opinion / analysis Wednesday December 19, 2012 18:42 by Sean Matthews - Workers Solidarity Movement
The publishing of the De Silvas report into the murder of Pat Finucane may have exposed a bit of dirt from under the carpet of the British states secret war in Ireland but the scars and flames of the past have not gone away - they continue to shape policing in the 21st century. As Geraldine Finucane articulated, The dirt has been swept under the carpet without any serious attempt to lift the lid on what really happened to Pat and so many others.

British Queen's Dublin Castle banquet protested by a few hundred as Garda harass activists 22:16 Fri 20 May 0 comments
About 250 people took part in the éirígí organised march on the banquet for the British Queen staged in Dublin castle Wedensday night. WSM members joined the demonstration but Garda had intercepted the person transporting our flags and banner to the protest leaving us somewhat invisible. This was part of a pattern of suppression of visible protest that occurred throughout the visit of the British Queen despite Garda claims that they would "facilitate protest" in advance of the visit [Italiano]

No to Lisbon - A Treaty for the Rich 17:41 Thu 03 Sep 2 comments
The WSM is calling for a No vote in the 2nd Lisbon referendum on the grounds that people in Ireland can do a lot better than a choice between the clowns in the Dáil or those in Brussels. We oppose the EU's policies of privatisation, militarisation and attacks on workers' conditions but dont insult peoples intelligence by saying that our current society in Ireland with its severe recession, diabolical public services and corruption is anything better. The major lack of democracy in our lives is not between us and the EU but between the Irish government and us.
WSM Vote No campaign on Munster's streets - 17th May to 7th June 18:45 Thu 12 Jun 1 comments
A photo-review of WSM activities in Munster cities during the Lisbon referendum campaign. The Cork WSM branch, with the help of other comrades from Limerick and Dublin, did 4 info stalls on the streets of Cork, Limerick and Waterford as part of our campaign activities. Each was blessed with good sunny weather and a public mood in some sympathy with our anarchist vote No message. We gave out thousands of leaflets, and made new contacts across the cities. It was also good to see what other campaigns were active on the ground across Munster.

Anarchist Block on anti-war demonstration in Britain 17:55 Fri 29 Sep 0 comments
The anti-war demonstration in Manchester on September 23rd (taking place the weekend before the Labour party annual conference) was supported by a colourful and vocal 'anarchist block' with attendance from anarchist organisations and non-aligned anarchists from Manchester and across the country, at least 40 bodies in all. The block was called by the Anarchist Federation and Solidarity Federation, two of the class struggle anarchist organisations in Britain with international links (read the jointly produced leaflet 'Why We Haven't Stopped the War Yet'). The day started with an IWW picket of Starbucks in support of union workers in the USA, followed by the anti-war march.
Not Guilty - Shannon Five war resisters acquitted on all charges 22:25 Thu 17 Aug 0 comments
Just before the start of the war against Iraq in 2003 five Plougshares activists gained access to Shannon airport where US war planes were being refuelled. Using hammers and axes they damaged one of these planes. Loyal to George Bush the Irish government has been dragging these activists through the courts but late last month a jury ruled that the actions of the defendents were justifiable as they acted to preserve life in Iraq. These are reports and statements from the WSM on the trial.more >>

A Brief Introduction to Modern Day Irish Republicanism. What Can Anarchists learn from Modern Day Re... Sep 29 0 comments
Anarchists can learn a great deal from Republicanism, to make inroads to establishing our ideal in working class communities. We need to create a visible presence in all communities, we need to be seen to be believed. People are looking for answers and are falsely thinking it lies in Republicanism. Within Republicanism lies much of the same which lies in bourgeois society that is hierarchy and privilege for the few. But I believe the secret to the salvation of society also lies within Republicanism. That is the revolutionary tradition of revolting against oppression, tyranny, and exploitation; which the working class, the oppressed and angry, gravitate towards. And likewise I think Republicans can learn a great deal from anarchism. Maybe from working together on community or workplace struggles we could both learn from each other.more >>

I am attempting to make a nerf maverick pistol into a rifle, and I didn't know if anyone else had done it.
Printable View
I am attempting to make a nerf maverick pistol into a rifle, and I didn't know if anyone else had done it.
in short yes, I can't off the top of my head remember who it was or where I found it, pretty sure it was over on the mercs but it turned into an amazing piece
a few progress pics
some progress on the stock
any ideas on what to make the barrel from?
depends... what style barrel are you wanting? PVC pipes are usually a good, cheap barrel for most anything... but it really depends on the style of barrel you want.
@ Brail
the one that kal ment was propably me, and here is the thread: http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/ind...7628#msg367628
and here is a pic of the readymade rifle: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting its the one on the top
I made my son a revolving sniper rifle out of one after he decided he wanted a Borderlands style sniper for his custom Mando kit.
Not the best pic, but I can't find the other ones I have of it at the moment. It's made from a Maverick, a cheapo squirt gun, some PVC, some sintra, and a bunch of epoxy and glues.
For the barrel, I think it uses 1 inch PVC. It fit perfectly over the original "barrel" and even allows it to still fire (somewhat...darts sometimes hit the sides and don't make it all the way out).
that is awesome man, now I don't want to post my new pics :(
I wanna see 'em! :D
same here... too interested in it now.
Definitely post the pics. Always nice to see how people mod NERF things to look "not-so-NERF". Nothing bugs me more than an un-modified repaint of a stock NERF (or airsoft or whatever...mod it up:) ).
okay, the gun will be made of 2 nerf guns ,some foamex, pvc, pipe, pieces salvaged from a broken wagner paint sprayer, a polycarbonate cutting board, and a piece of 1inch thick oak plank.. oh, and a lot of epoxy
Now that's the kind of parts list I love seeing. Gotta love epoxy and epoxy putty. You can make just about anything out of that stuff.
Looking forward to seeing this finished and painted up.
same here...now i wanna make one
so I got part of the rifle assembled today...
Very nice. What sort of stock you shooting for on this mod?
I've made the stock from an oak plank, but It is a little too long.I am going to cut it down and re-router the d-bracket recess
hey one thing I'd suggest... if you're going to keep that long barrel cover it with something. Put some ventribs or something on it to make it look beefier, it just looks so scrawny with the bulk of the rest of the piece. Great work tho... still looks like a maverick but enough difference to say it would probably pass.
I'm going to cut some slots in a piece of pvc conduit and slide that over the "barrel", or Maybe add some dowels or something
got some work done tonight on the rifle
not bad, that's a pretty good looking piece of work so far.
Solus Keer at Mando Mercs (I think his stuff is under One End here) and Beviin Verhayc at Mercs both did great mods with the Maverick. Beviin's was made into a custom EE-3. Solus' was a custom carbine. Both turned out great. Most people don;t even catch Beviin's was a Nerf until he points it out.
awesome mod going on there. you got some serious skills vod. makes my twin hoover blaster look a bit plain. loving all the little details. keep us posted!!

Search extends cold case investigation across 2 counties
PIKE TWP., Pa. - A cold case in Lehigh County appears to be heating up.
69 News uncovered exclusive details after FBI agents and police searched a rural part of Berks County for clues.
Authorities would not release which cold case it is, but a source with knowledge of the investigation said the FBI and police were searching for a body in Pike Township.
Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin confirmed they were searching for evidence in a criminal case, but he had no further comment.
The property owner said she signed a consent two weeks ago, which gave the FBI permission to search her property in Pike Township.
"The only thing they would say and they kept repeating was it's an ongoing grand jury investigation," said the woman, who asked we not use her name.
Rumors have been circulating ever since. A neighbor showed 69 News the multiple holes the agents dug deep in the woods in the area of Dotterer and Club roads.
"A lot of people came in a whole caravan and then they blocked off the road and they wouldn't tell us anything," said Gladys Reinhold, who lives across from the search.
"You just don't realize something like that is going on when you live here. It just seems like a nice, peaceful quiet area, and to know something like that is going on is very scary," said Randall Troxel, a local resident.
Residents said they were kept in the dark and their questions went unanswered as the FBI and police searched for two straight days.
"They should have told us to warn us in case there was something bad going on, but they didn't," said Charles Reinhold, who also lives near the scene.
Some of their concerns were eased after learning authorities were looking into a cold case and not an active one.
The property owner said she called police when they were finished and they told her they found nothing. She also said she was told the investigators exhausted all their leads, but they may be back.

RAM still looking for more volunteers
BRISTOL, Tenn. - It's a big weekend for Bristol Motor Speedway, except this event has nothing to do with NASCAR -- the Remote Area Medical group is coming to the Tri-Cities on Friday and the volunteers are already working to get everything up and running.
As we walked around the infield of BMS we saw some people already hard at work, trying to get things ready in time. "Tents are going up today, tables and chairs and definitely tents for the different areas," said Helen Scott, chair of Tri-Cities RAM committee.
However, that's only the beginning. "They have tractor-trailer loads of dental equipment, they have a huge warehouse of about 75 dental chairs," said Scott.
Along with medical supplies to aid the volunteer doctors. "We think every bit of 1,500 [attendees] will get help, maybe more," said Scott.
But more will only be helped if enough volunteers show up. "It's based especially on the number of volunteer dentists that are going to be there," said Scott.
Scott tells us that as of now, an average of 25 medical professional volunteers will be there a day. "There's room for more volunteer dentists, dental assistants, optometrists, opticians but other than that, registration is closed," said Scott.
Scott told News 5 in their first year they helped 1,300 people, the second year nearly 1,500.Scott says if more volunteers come out, the numbers could increase. "We could help three times the people, so we could potentially help 3,000 people if we had 75 volunteers," said Scott.
Dr. Joseph Smiddy has volunteered his time to nearly 35 RAM events and tells us it's worth it. "It really is a great feeling and a wonderful opportunity to hear their stories and get acquainted," said Smiddy.
If you would like to know how you could help or if you would like to attend, you can call 423-573-0695 or click here.

Inventor Flint Lockwood is back in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. He is now working for his idol Chester V at Live Corp, a major technology company. Flint finds out his water-into-food invention was never destroyed, and is now creating food-animal hybrids called foodimals. He must return to Swallow Falls and, with the help of his friends, get the foodimals under control.
Directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn told TFK that the creative team had fun inventing foodimals for the film. They came up with hundreds of names—like mosquitoast, tacodile, meatbalrus, and shrimpanzee—and let the film's plot determine which critters made it into the final film. "There's a term called portmanteau, where you take two words and it becomes one word," Cameron said. "So it's easy to take a watermelon and elephant and it becomes a watermelephant!"
Read on for more scoop on the film from the director duo.
This movie picks up right where the last left off. What's different this time?
Flint was the only guy in his town who wore a lab coat. He was the only guy in the science world. In this movie, after getting evacuated from Swallow Falls, he moves to beautiful San Fran, California. He becomes a part of this corporation called Live Corp, which has this Google/Yahoo-type campus. Suddenly, he is in a sea of people who are just like him. He's not the odd-man out, and he has to figure out how to hang on to his old friends as he gains success in this world.
How did you get the ideas for the foodimals?
We had living food creatures at the end of the first film. There were gummy bears, roast chickens and pizza slices. We started this film knowing we wanted to do food creatures.
We knew we wanted certain foods for their iconic value, like we had to have a cheeseburger because that's how our first movie began. It was Flint's first food invention. Some foods we knew were going to come into this film.
If the characters are in a certain environment, like a breakfast bog, [we thought about] what kind of animals you would have in a breakfast bog. Mosquitoast!
What's your favorite foodimal?
It keeps changing for me. Right now the tacodile is one of my favorites.
Yeah the tacodile is really fun. I love the leek in the boat because it keeps coming back.
Barry is definitely one of our favorites, the hero.
What do you think is the scariest?
Cheesespiders because spiders creep me out. The only problem is you still want to eat it. Well, it wants to eat you.
The creative team came up with hundreds of foodimal names. Is there a foodimal that didn't make the film that you would have liked to see?
There was a scene on a crème brûlée (krem bru-lay) glacier that's no longer in the film. We had a chocolate s'mores-rex with a marshmallow body, graham cracker mouth and broken up chocolate squares for teeth. It was like a giant s'mores T. rex, and it would breathe fire and crush the crème brûlée.
What's it like to work on a movie with so much food?
When we were working on the cheesespider, we would get so hungry. We'd be like, "Should we go?" "Yep," and we'd all walk over to In–N–Out, a hamburger chain here in California.
It didn't happen with carrots, though!
What makes Flint a great inventor?
He's really creative. He doesn't let anything stop him.
Part of success is failing on the way. We love Flint so much because he isn't daunted by failure. He's got this blind optimism about everything in the world.
Why should kids see this movie?
We hope people are entertained. It has a great message about being true to yourself…
…cleaning up your mess…
…eating everything on your plant, or it'll come back and try to eat you. Hopefully, kids have a good time.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, rated PG, hits theaters in 3-D on September 27.

UTSA business students at national competition
UTSA business students place second in national management competition
(June 17, 2005)--A team of undergraduate human resource students from the UTSA College of Business placed second nationally in a management case study competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
The students received $2,000 and a certificate for their achievement. Team members are Joanna Barrerra, Danae Bennett, Suzanne Ricketts, Sylvia Rodarte and Lorena Segovia.
"I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of these students," said Lynda de la Vina, dean of the UTSA College of Business. "The students went head-to-head with prominent universities nationwide, and they were only bested by a team of graduate students. This is evidence of the quality of students at UTSA and the quality of our academic programs."

Twenty-two universities were invited to participate in the case competition in which student teams analyzed a case focused on a real problem that the Department of State is facing. As part of a strategic human resource management course taught by UTSA Professor Mark Lengnick-Hall, the students were tasked with developing a plan to improve staffing and morale at the Department of State embassy and consulate in Nigeria.
Three teams were selected as finalists from the competing universities and received a free trip to Washington, D.C., to present their findings to a panel of judges from the Department of State. A team of graduate students from Ohio State University won first place and Georgetown University placed third.
The competition was a collaboration between EdVenture Partners, a higher education consulting firm, and the U.S. Department of State. The competition allowed students to apply their knowledge and skills to real problems experienced by the Department of State and provided the Department of State with assessments from some of the best human resources programs in the United States.
The College of Business human resource program has been recognized repeatedly for its strong academic and student programs. Human resource students from the college placed first and second in the Texas HR Games competition sponsored by the Society for Human Resource Management this spring. In the past several years, UTSA has led the nation in the number of students who pass the PHR certification exam, and the SHRM student organization regularly receives national honors for its student chapter.
UTSA's College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. It is one of the 40 largest business schools in the nation with more than 5,800 enrolled students and 37 different graduate and undergraduate business programs.

PAUSD candidate forum
Original post made by Parent, Palo Alto High School, on Sep 28, 2012
I hope that those who attended can let the rest of us know what was brought up, how the various candidates responded to the hot topics and how well the event was attended.
I trust that PA Weekly will not prevent those of us who were not able to attend to get an unbiased view from different perspectives.

I thought it was interesting that the two current School Board members did not know (or did not want to talk about) the Spanish Immersion proposal at Barron Park Elementary.
I liked Ken Dauber and Melissa Baten Caswell's attitudes the best. They seem to be the most objective, results-oriented of the four. Ms. Townsend struck me as someone who smiles a lot but gets little done. Mr. Dauber's attitude of evaluating school support needs based on results (vs. per pupil spending) was refreshing.
Ms. Emberling came across as somewhat involved but I didn't see her as someone capable of intense debate on serious policy issues.

on Sep 28, 2012 at 11:46 am
I thought Ken Dauber came across as extremely knowledgeable, calm and reasoned. He seems to have a full grasp of the issues and backed his points up with statistics. I can definitely see him being effective on the board.
Based on the fact that she consistently bumped up against the time limits, I'll bet the board meetings would immediately get shorter if Camille Townsend is defeated.

on Sep 28, 2012 at 1:26 pm
I know Heidi and she is really sweet. But she did not seem to answer the questions. She just agreed with whatever Camille said a lot. Her answers lacked content even when the question called for a specific. I think she doesn't want to disagree with anyone because she is so nice! But I have to say that she didn't seem very informed or knowledgeable especially compared to Dauber. I still support her hopefully she can learn on the job.

Thank you to those who commented.
I hope that the Weekly will report on this week's forum better than they did on the last forum.
I want the Weekly to tell me what the candidate's answers to specific questions so that I can choose who will get my vote. This is supposed to be more designed for elementary school issues, I assumed that the last was for middle school issues, but reading the article it appears that was not the case.
It is impossible for me, or anyone, to attend all the forums. I would like the Weekly to report the questions and the answers from all candidates. I assume the same areas covered last week will not be covered again.
I still have very little information on one candidate and no idea on her views on specific topics.
As far as I am concerned, the candidates' views on specific topics are the most important criteria. These include calendar pilot, FLES, enrollment and site use, counselling, curriculum and now site based decision making. I am sure all the candidates are well rounded individuals who plan to devote their time and energy to the wellfare of our children, but it is specifics that count in my book.
What are their views?
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Oct 2, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Anyone who attended last night's meeting like to comment on this event?
What were the subjects discussed? Were they just elementary issues?
I thought there was another thread about this, but I can't find it.
Was a reporter from the Weekly in attendance? Does the Weekly intend to report on this PAUSD election and give us some information?
a resident of Palo Verde
on Oct 3, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Thank you PA Weekly for promoting tonight's forum on the front page.
Unfortunately, there is no way of commenting there apart from registration. Strangely, I see a thread of comments about the previous forum which I had hunted for a couple of days ago and they have now appeared.
I would like to understand the reasoning behind making it difficult for those of us interested in the PAUSD candidates from commenting or finding out how the candidates think on various topics. It seems that there is no such objections to weighing in on city council elections so why for school board?
It is not possible for busy parents to attend all the functions. The websites of the various candidates are very bland on real issues. I would like to get a feel for all the candidates and am finding this very difficult. I would expect the PA Weekly to interview the candidates and get their views, just the same as city council.
Am I missing something?

The forums so far have been very interesting and I hope that those who cannot attend will be able to come out. So far the biggest surprises are that Ken Dauber is an extremely nice guy who seems to have a very friendly and good relationship with all the other candidates, and the incumbents. They joke around and laugh together. Last night he told a story about meeting with Dr. Skelly to work on the achievement gap on a Sunday at a coffee shop that was good on both Ken and Dr. Skelly because it showed how even though they have some policy disagreements they are both professionals who can work together for our kids. That was very reassuring to me and others, about both of them. They are both good men.
Ken answers all the questions directly which is very refreshing and he clearly knows the most about all the issues. He's a little wonky and has a lot of policy and statistics and talks about the academic literature a little much. But on the other hand, don't we want informed leaders? He clearly has a lot of data and statistics to share, and that sounds good to me. What else? He of course goes on about social-emotional but also I learned that his son is at Priory because he likes their social emotional program and he thinks that middle schools (except for Connections where Melissa's son is in the program there) is not very strong for social emotional. Ken also said he was for term limits on the school board, which is relevant because Camille is running for a third term.
Heidi seems like a very nice person, echoing what was said above. She seems just lovely. She never answers questions though. I still after going to 2 forums have no idea what she things about anything except that she wants one uniform anti-bullying program implemented in middle school and not 3 different ones. She seemed not to understand that site based control is the reason we have 3 different ones because in a later question she supported site based control and so that was kind of a mess. She didn't answer the calendar question. I am against the new calendar and if you are against it, be suspicious! Dauber is for the new calendar which is a reason to be against him, although he said he wanted to look for a lighter weight solution than the current calendar. Is Heidi for it or against it? No idea. She also won't say if she is for or against TA at Gunn, term limits, site based control or anything else. But she seems very nice. Kind of like a younger Camille, and they seemed to get along well.
Melissa Caswell is very impressive of course. She talks a lot about the strategic plan which is one of her accomplishments. She never discusses whether they met any of the goals or if so which ones. She also never says how she will make sure anything happens. Ken asked her a good question about having better decision making last night, which she answered very well. Ken and Melissa are clearly the smartest and best informed candidates and seem pretty similar.
Camille emphasizes her experience, and her vote against the calendar. She believes that it is OK to have a third term because Barbara Klausner decided not to run so she is basically just taking Klausner's second term and providing experience rather than having Ken and Heidi on the board. But Camille is not Barbara Klausner and they don't agree on anything so it's not clear why she thinks that would even make sense. Klausner supports Ken Dauber, and so that doesn't really make any sense that she would want Camille to take her spot so that was confused. But Camille is experienced and does bring that and she emphasized that. She also discussed her desire to work collaboratively with stakeholders in the community and to focus on improved physical health, and also that she still supports Manderin Immersion.If she is re-elected I think that we can count on having an MI strand in one of the middle schools -- maybe the new ($60 MILLION) middle school that they are planning to build (?!).
That's my report I hope others comment and weigh in. This is just one person's observations -- I am trying to be objective although I do oppose the new calendar.

A few additional comments to the Involved parent discussion -
A substantive difference between the candidates on the issue of site management pros and cons. Both Melissa and Camille are strong supporterss of site management, where individual schools can experiment and choose elements of their own approaches. In other word, not every school has to be the same. Ken lines up almost exactly opposite, as he wants a more unified approach. Not clear how to observe creativity. I don't recall Heidi's position on that.
A very strong endorsement of Kevin Skelly by all the participants. The question began with Melissa, who praised Skelly's incredible diligence and commitment. Heidi endorsed as well, mentioning how Skelly knew her child was a fifth grader. Camille also strongly supported him. Surprisingly, so did Ken. I say surprisingly as he had once called for Skelly's firing in an editorial - apparently he has changed his mind.

@Involved Parent, Ken does have a lot of statistics and does well in the debates. Heidi usually starts with an anecdote so you need to listen to what she says. Sort of like the Obama-Romney debate last night.
For example; there was an interesting juxtaposition between Ken & Heidi on the homework question:
Ken's comment - "I was on the committee that paved the way for the homework recommendation. That recommendation, per statistics, is for 10 minutes of homework per grade level"
Heidi's comment - "I was at Paly and asked the students how the new homework recommendation was going 'cue raucous laughter from the students.'". Followed by "If you give two second graders 20 mins of homework, one child will do it in 5 and the second won't have it finished 2 hours later."
At the end of the forum Ken's three point summary for why he was running:
i) Ensure all students are taught to their potential
ii) Complete district transparency
iii) Remove site management
The first point was reiterated by all candidates. The latter two indicate Ken's main focus in running is to change the district and the board.
It's a clear choice between Heidi and Ken for third place. The incumbents were on the ball with their answers and it's unlikely they won't get re-elected.

After the way the Daubers treated the School District over the past few years, there's no way I can support them for school board.
The email to Dr. Young from the Daubers was extremely concerning. No one should treat our school employees that way.

@walter hays
Yes I thought Heidi's story about homework was funny! But if you think about it, it kind of doesn't help to explain what her view is.The policy hasn't been implemented yet at any of the sites -- the goal is to implement it by the end of this year. So the fact that the students at Paly hadn't heard of it yet and laughed means 2 things: (1) they need the policy because they have too much homework; and (2) the policy hasn't yet been implemented. It seemed like Heidi was saying it's not a good policy and if that's her view why is it her view? I'm not sure the parable method is the best debate strategy for a one-minute answer.
I haven't heard Ken say that he wants to end site based control. I have heard him say that he wants to limit it more than it currently is. Someone should ask him how much he wants to limit it and what he means by that?
Do you really think it is Ken v. Heidi? I think Camille could lose. She almost lost last time to Wynn Hausser, who supports Ken.

I just am corrected that Wynn also supports Heidi. He supports Ken and Heidi.

on Oct 5, 2012 at 8:24 am
@involved parent, yes, that is a very good question for Ken and I hope your interpretation of his summary comment is wrong.
There's a huge difference between "I want the same programs implemented across all schools" and "I want the programs I care about implemented across all schools". If you are correct and Ken really was saying the latter, that would be a very narcissistic reason for running for the board.

on Oct 5, 2012 at 12:16 pm
I thought we were trying to be objective, but it's clear you have some kind of ax to grind and I don't want to get drawn into what you are doing which is name calling. I think Ken has some good points on site-based control, though I prefer a different calendar which I can do without calling names.

I really hope that Palo Alto doesn't buy what Mr. Dauber is selling.
Our community has something really special when it comes to our schools. Only in our district can you get such a strong education at a public school- in almost any other place, you can only find academics like ours at an exclusive, private institution. I know many people worry about the stress associated with a high academic workload, but I think many of us see the challenging nature of Palo Alto schools as an opportunity rather than an imposition. I felt like I experienced less stress in college than many of my peers because I walked into my classes fully prepared with the background knowledge and academic skills necessary, while some others floundered and felt frightened and depressed, struggling with both new academic challenges and the challenges of living away from home.
I know that some students at Gunn pile on more AP classes than they can handle, but there are many more, myself included, that took AP's but took a reasonable number and were challenged but not overwhelmed. Rather than mandating limits on homework levels, telling teachers when they can and cannot assign work, and imposing other crude, blanket rules on the classrooms, I think we would be better off helping to educate students and families about the costs and benefits of adding higher-stress classes to their schedule, and then let them make an informed decision.
Palo Alto schools gave me a real opportunity in life that I otherwise might not have been afforded. I really hope that Palo Alto votes to preserve that opportunity for students that come after me and avoids candidates like Dauber that don't really understand the complexity of young life and student learning.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Health Care Reconciliation Markup
Ranking Member Paul Ryan Opening Statement
Mr. Chairman, before discussing health care and reconciliation, I want to begin by thanking you for continuing this committee's tradition of allowing a full and fair debate, and giving the minority the opportunity to offer motions in committee to modify this reconciliation bill.
Today, in this committee, we begin what might be the final chapter of this health care debacle.
In other words, we're creating here a legislative Trojan Horse, in which a handful of people, hidden from public view, will reshape how all Americans receive and pay for their health care – and then it will be rushed to the floor, and Members will be forced to vote on it to beat another artificial political deadline.
Let's take a quick look at the price tag: as I pointed out at the Blair House Health Care Summit a few weeks ago, the reality of this bill violates the President's promise that this legislation will "not add a dime to the deficit."
It didn't have to be this way – and it doesn't have to stay this way. At Blair House Summit, Vice President Biden claimed that we aren't qualified to speak on behalf of the American people. I respectfully disagreed then and respectfully disagree now.

Excerpt: "Justin Pugh, OT, Syracuse
Round 1, 19th pick
Analysis: A lot of the players the Giants were eyeing had been picked. Alabama tackle D.J. Fluker, Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro and LSU safety Eric Reid were all gone. In fact, the Niners traded with the Cowboys to take Reid right before the Giants picked. So the Giants opted to fill a big need with an offensive lineman they feel can play tackle, guard or center.
Jerry Reese said he could not pass on Pugh's versatility. While they did pass on a potential top-10 talent in DT Sharrif Floyd, the Giants got a guy who could potentially enter the mix to start at right tackle this season. At the very least, Pugh offers immediate and much-needed depth on the line that Reese knows isn't getting any younger. Pugh could be a starter in 2014 when Kevin Boothe and David Diehl are expected to be free agents." Read more...

As increasing fuel costs, mounting environmental concerns, and the need to refurbish ailing fleets as the newer ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) take their toll on engines, fleet managers are seeking alternatives that won't destroy carefully negotiated budgets.
One solution is biodiesel, and it's available right now.
Because it lacks the lubricity that the older standard provided, engines that run on ULSD require more maintenance, resulting in more down-time and less efficiency. With its high lubricity, biodiesel alleviates most of those problems. It mixes well with petroleum diesel fuel, even improving it in many ways. All engine manufacturers allow up to 5% biodiesel without any affect on warranty.
Because biodiesel is a strong solvent, its cleaning effect on older engines will produce junk that may clog filters for the first 100 hours of use. Maintenance teams recommend an aggressive filter change program until the engines are clean.
The question then becomes: where to get this miracle drug? Biodiesel is not available everywhere, nor is it welcome in America's pipelines. It must be shipped, trucked, or barged. The smart move is to make your own in an ASTM-certified plant using available and imported feedstocks—any form of biologically produced natural oils meeting certain chemical criteria (the most popular is soy oil; other feedstocks include canola and palm oils, and waste oils from restaurants). In other words, build the plant where you need the fuel: at your fleet fueling station.
A small biodiesel plant—with a capacity around 3 million gallons annually, on 2–3 acres—can be built for several million dollars, depending on production needs. It can be put almost anywhere near a rail-yard for bringing in the feedstocks required to produce the fuel. In some cases, the feedstock goes right from the barges into the processor.
For example, the city of Oakland, Calif., has access to huge amounts of natural oils (i.e. chicken fat from processing plants) that can be converted. An international port facility brings in feedstocks from around the world, and a comprehensive rail network feeds into a million-truck container system. The city has been investigating how to cut down on fuel costs, move some of the accumulated waste products, and avoid dumping biologically useful items into the landfills. Biodiesel might just be the answer.
The favored theory for funding such a plant is a joint private sector, municipal bond issue. Biodiesel projects get the public's support because it's a clean fuel; making and using it does not pollute the environment. Biodiesel plants also can be money makers. Currently, and into the next three or four years, a biodiesel producer gets $1 from the federal government for each gallon produced. The amount spent on feedstock (from $0 for recycled oils to $3 for vegetable oils) makes it competitive with existing petroleum products.
Choosing the right biodiesel production system is important. There are two types of facilities. The first—flow-through continuous production—is best suited for medium to large amounts of fuel production; the second, older technology—batch production—is based on the home brewing systems of early days, and it allows small amounts to be run and used. Also, any type of waterless system does not require wastewater processing downstream of the unit. Such a system has been developed by Greenline Industries, a biodiesel firm that has installed waterless-wash facilities across the globe.
If elected officials and public works departments are serious about cleaning up their systems, they will form alliances with farmers, oil shippers, and fuel distributors to ensure that the biggest plants are built within walking distance of distribution systems. The day will come when every truck, boat, or train coming into the utility will be switched to a biodiesel auxiliary tank as it transits through an urban area. Every crane, generator, compressor, or pump will be automatically filled with clean-burning biodiesel blends.
No other fuel need apply.

Video Game Icon Rolls onto Nintendo DS(TM) for his 25th Birthday
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (April 14, 2005) – Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today "Pac'N Roll(TM" will be shipping exclusively for the Nintendo DS(TM) in Summer 2005. Taking advantage of the DS's touch screen, the game allows players to control a spherical Pac-Man with the stylus by rolling, dashing and bouncing around the environment with unprecedented ease.
In "Pac'N Roll," the inhabitants of Pac-World have been turned into spheres by the evil monster Golvis' Ghost Light. Pac-Man must roll his way through Ghost-Land, collecting pellets and confronting Ghosts to save his family and restore peace to Pac-Land. Introducing an innovative new control scheme, "Pac'N Roll" lets players control Pac-Man with the Nintendo DS stylus. Players can roll and dash around the environment as well as execute maneuvers such as hairpin turns, immediate stops and precision rolling with effortless strokes of the stylus.
"'Pac'N Roll' utilizes the unique capabilities of the Nintendo DS to introduce an innovative and intuitive new control scheme," said Yoshi Niki, Business Director with Namco Hometek Inc. "Players are sure to enjoy Pac-Man's latest adventure, and delight at the ease and simplicity of controlling him throughout the game."
In his quest to save Pac-Land, Pac-Man will venture through stages such as Castle Pac, Gyro-Jungle and the Ghost House, while facing perilous hazards like moving floors, dash panels, jump zones and wind zones. Along the way, Pac-Man will find power-ups like the "Winged Chocolate," allowing him to fly through the worlds and jump over Ghosts, or the "Knight Chocolate," providing him with armor which grants him the power to crash through walls and withstand more damage. "Pac'N Roll" also includes the original Pac-Man arcade game, allowing up to two players to munch on pellets and claim the highest score.

Reviews of this property
Very good owner, it was nice to stay, the room is big and have a lot of air, nice sharing kitchen and bathroom. I would definitely recommend this host and this place for my friends. It's just a couple of minutes from S+U bahn, around 15min to Alexanderplatz, DM, Netto and Kaiser shops are near.
The apartment is fantastic. Everything is clean, the room is very large and modern and Erik and petra helped us to every thing we asked them so I couldn't have better opinion. Thank you very much for all your help.
Who needs a hotel when you have this place to sleep? A fantastic apt, with all the fascilities you need. We stayed 3 nights in a very pleasant atmosphere, and the service is outstanding. Enough privacy, wifi so you can you your cellphone without xtra costs, internet, info about things to do in Berlin and..........a fantastic espressomachine. Erich and Petra are doing a great job. And at last but certainly not at least the nearby public transport services, Sbahn, Ubahn and Strassenbahn to bring you where ever you want in Berlin. On a scale from 0-10 we give a 9+
Accommodation was wonderful. Erich is very friendly and helpful person. The room was great. Everything was exactly the same as in the description. Modern, clean, very nice place to rest, after long sightseeing the city. The location of the house is also very good, close to S and U Bahn. In few minutes you are in the center. Of course we highly recommend it ! If will be again in Berlin, we'll certainly choose their house again :)
Best Regards!
Very friendly and helpful owners we have met who have offered even in the smallest details a very good service. The room was for the purpose (short stay) large enough and equipped with all the media opportunities - we have not at all used. Also, free internet access and even a "mini office" are offered: faxing, scanning and copying is possible. Anytime, day or night, coffee can (Obulus for the coffee fund do not forget!) Are freshly prepared in very good quality. The roommate with whom you must share the kitchen, bathroom and dining area were very friendly during our stay and restrained, so that it also there was no difficulty.
We have already recommended this address.
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter haben wir angetroffen, die auch in kleinsten Details einen sehr guten Service angeboten haben. Das Zimmer war für den Zweck (Kurzaufenthalt) groß genug und mit allen medialen Möglichkeiten ausgestattet - die wir garnicht genutzt haben. Auch ein kostenloser Internetzugang und sogar ein "Minibüro" werden angeboten: Faxen, Scannen und Kopieren ist möglich. Zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit kann Kaffee (Obulus für die Kaffeekasse nicht vergessen!) in sehr guter Qualität frisch zubereitet werden. Die Mitbewohner, mit denen man sich Küche, Bad und Eßplatz teilen muß, waren in unserem Zeitraum sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend, so daß es auch dabei keine Schwierigkeiten gab.
Wir haben diese Adresse bereits weiterempfohlen.
Great room! Great location. The boys loved it! Even headphones lay there :-).
Tolles Zimmer! Super Lage. Die Jungs waren begeistert! Sogar Kopfhörer lagen da :-).
a real find! The apartment was great, the room nice and bright and friendly and everything set up very nicely. We come back to the apartment and definitely recommend it. The location is great, unfortunately the road is a bit noisy (with the window closed but not heard).
eine echte Entdeckung! Die Wohnung war super, das Zimmer schön hell und freundlich und alles sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder und können die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen. Die Lage ist super, leider ist die Straße etwas laut ( bei geschlossenem Fenster aber nicht zu hören).
Very nice room with modern facilities. The kitchen invites formally a cook for myself and the bathroom is bright and spacious shower. Highlight was that I by the hosts for the Champions League semi-final first leg vs Bayern. FC Barcelona which was invited by the number of guests almost public viewing character had :-). And I do think that says everything about the hospitality of Petra and Eric. I'll definitely be back.
Sehr schönes Zimmer mit moderner Ausstattung. Die Küche läd förmlich ein zum selber kochen und das Bad ist hell und die Dusche geräumig.
Highlight war aber, dass ich von den Gastgebern zum Championsleague Halbfinalhinspiel Bayern vs. FC Barcelona eingeladen wurde was von der Anzahl der Gäste schon fast Public Viewing Charakter hatte:-). Und das sagt glaube ich schon alles über die Gastfreundschaft von Petra und Erich aus.
Ich komme definitiv wieder.

6) Raw project ... coachable but I don't like the lack of awareness that I read about.
7) Nice project LBer of the variety we've thrown at the position lately. I don't think we need another one this year and I'd rather see this pick having to do something with the defensive secondary, Oline (for depth) or Dline (for depth).
Overall I like it. [b]
I don't always root for the Cowboys but when I do I wear my pink Jessica Simpson edition Romo jersey. (yes I lost a bet)
I love that so many Giant fans are high on McNutt. It would be great if the Giants picked him up and continued the streak of Hawkeyes getting Super Bowl rings as rookies
I'm not crazy about the top 2 picks.
Mike Adams is on my "DO NOT WANT" list (along with Burfict and Zebrie Sanders). His tape didn't impress me at all, and for a supposed athletic freak, his workout was mediocre.
Personally I'd rather have Tyrone Crawford (DE-Boise St.) in the second than Chander Jones. T.Crawford is raw, but he's fast, quick, strong, LONG, and has a non-stop motor. Perfect complement after some seasoning (and what better place?) to JPP.
I love the pickup of Ladarius Green and Turbin though.
With Green and the guys we already have, I could take or leave another receiver though. Depends who is still on the board.
Trade Osi for 2nd round pick
Pick up TE J. Dressen or TE M. Bennett
1 M. Adams OL - OSU
2a S. Gilmore CB South Carolina
2b C. Jones DL Syracuse
3 L. Green TE Louisiana - Lafayette
4 R. Turbin RB Utah State

Consultants start work on Mirror Pond plan
Steering committee to oversee crafting four options
BEND, Ore. - Silt build-up in Mirror Pond has prompted a lot of debate about whether to dredge the pond or get rid of the dam and let the river flow free or do something in between those two extreme options.
On Monday, the Mirror Pond Steering Committee met with the landscape architecture firm hired to help craft four alternatives.
Green Works is the architecture firm charged with the challenging task.
It's based out of Portland and it will be their job to show the visual impacts.
Mirror Pond Project Manager Jim Figuski and Green Works owner Mike Faha know just how important their task will be.
"I think it's going to be one of the highest profile projects in the city of Bend for some time," Faha said. "We recognize how important it is to the citizens here. Because there is going to be a lot of differences of opinion, the hard part will be when that is all together and develop consensus."
Green works will illustrate the four options they'll come up with for the public which will include cost estimates and regulatory requirements.
"Our job is to help inform them, to bring in technical expertise," Faha said. "And to help people understand how this might look and really do a good job in visually what these options could look like."
While Monday was the kick-off meeting, there are still many more steps to go through to help clean up Mirror Pond.
The variety of opinions expressed in an unscientific survey leave the path of action and future fate of Bend's iconic Mirror Pond as unsettled and murky as the gooey silt that has piled up over the nearly three decades since it was last dredged clean.
On the other hand, results released late Friday of the survey, conducted online and at public meetings, show the most popular choice – by a slim margin – just might offer a middle ground among the five broad approaches laid out for the nearly 1,900 folks who took part in the survey, the full results of which can be found at http://www.mirrorpondbend.com.
Much of the talk has focused on the two ends of the spectrum -- another dredging to keep the pond much as it has been for many decades, or removing a hydroelectric dam that formed the pond -- but may no longer be needed -- and thus letting the stretch of river flow freely, for the first time since Bend's earliest days.
The choice that gained 29 percent "very desirable" and 24 percent "desirable" support is, indeed, a middle ground -- and a possible effort to change things enough to prevent the siltation problem from reoccurring.
That slim majority supported the described goal to "remove all the silt on the pond and change the shape of the river channel and pond, creating rapids or other conditions that would carry the silt away in the future."
In other words, with much discussion and decision-making left, a majority may not favor removing the hydro dam that created the pond about a century ago, but also not to set things up so there's yet another hullabaloo and millions spent in another few decades to dredge the silt again, as last was done in 1984.
Still, a strong 42 percent (27 percent very desirable, 15 percent desirable) would instead favor less change -- to "remove all the silt in the pond and repeat this as often as needed (maybe every 15-20 years) to keep Mirror Pond as it looks now (a flat, open expanse of water)."
However, in categorizing the open-ended responses to some of the questions, two brought 57 and 63 percent support for removing the dam and allowing the river to flow naturally. Keeping the look of Mirror Pond as it is got, at most, 24 percent of those open-ended responses. (Pacific Power has said it might stop operating its dam, which powers about 500 homes, if it becomes too spendy to maintain.)
A few more details: Nearly half (46 percent) of those who filled out the survey said they live in northwest Bend (including those closest to the pond), while more than a third (36 percent) said they've lived in Bend for more than 20 years.
Also, nearly half said they visit one of the parks along the pond once a month or less, mostly by walking the adjacent paths.
Project Manager Jim Figurski said the questionnaireresults were quite interesting but "not really" surprising.
"It's really a weather vane, to kind of see where the winds of opinion and desire are blowing," he said. "It's not a focused, randomized survey."
Next up, those in the project will create four different solutions for the community consider, each including illustrations to show the visual impact, as well as cost estimates, regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities.
The community will be invited again in May to give input online, at public meetings and at various community events.
"I think my job is to keep an open mind," Figurski said. "I'm hopeful that as we move through the alternatives, that both of these camps" – those favoring the current look of the pond or a totally free-flowing river – "will be pleasantly surprised about what can be done. There's room in the middle."
If nothing is done for some time, Figurski said, one committee member surmised the pond could end up looking like how the river moves through the Old Mill District above the Colorado Avenue dam, a wetlands with cattails, etc., and some bank restoration.
The Mirror Pond Steering Committee, created in 2009 by the city council to review the options, will review the survey results at a meeting Monday at 11 a.m. at the City Hall board room, also meeting with the consulting team for the Mirror Pond "visioning" project, to start looking at the alternatives to draft for the second phase. The consultants also will be doing field work and site visits.

very nice and quiet Apartment situated near U -bahm and main station Everything were Ok and we will recoment this Apartment. We would rent this place again.
regards Birgitte & Michael - Denmark
We had fabulous stay in Vienna and part of the credit goes to Katharina. She was extremely helpful and nothing was too much of a problem or too much to ask. The flat is in great location just minutes away from the train station and even closer to the U Bahn station, which takes you to the heart of Vienna within minutes. The flat is really spacious and lovely decorated and lies within quiet neighbourhood. There are all mod and cons one requires and central heating was just perfect for chilly November evenings. We definiltey felt part of the city and would go back any time.
We have had a very nice time in Wien. Katharina's Wohnung is simply perfect. Very well communicated with the underground only 2 minutes walk just in the corner and the train central station only 5 minutes walk. The appartament has everything one may need and is all new. We havent met Katharina as she was in travel but her father has received as very kindly and offer us any information we could need. Our next time in Wien we will for sure repeat with this appartament.
Thank you for your help Katharina!
A very pleasant , well equipped apartment very close to U-bahn and Oberes Belvedere within walking distance. Highly recommendable. Ebbe Denmark
Katharina was very helpful on arrival and the apartment was very good and ideal for a our short break to Vienna. The location is also very good being close to main train station so easy to get to and from airport. Easy access to Vienna via underground which is two minutes walk from apartment. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, just as shown on the Wimdu web page. Only slight negative was the central courtyard was a bit noisy at times but we are light sleepers and also it was a holiday in Vienna so there was probably more activity than normal. We would stay here if we came to Vienna again, so we can recommend this apartment.
We were three adults and a 2,5 year old and the apartment was perfect for us since both rooms can be accessed separately. This was very convenient since we could go to the bathroom or the kitchen without having to bother others.
The apartment is on the first floor so you don't have to walk too many stairs, which is ideal. You have a lot of privacy too since all windows are facing the backyard and not the street.
The apartment was very clean and cozy and we thought that it even looked better than on the pictures. There are even some DVDs, plenty of books and even toys for little children which was perfect for us! We also liked the fact that the apartment has everything you need to feel home (hairdryer, iron, shampoo, oil, vinegar, pasta etc. etc.) and cozy yet it is a professionally run "hotel" since you don't have all the owner's personal stuff in it (so all the cupboards etc. are for us guests).
Katharina is a great host, very friendly, helpful and flexibel. She made early check-in and late check-out possible for us since the apartment wasn't booked the next day which was great for us.
The location is really perfect too. The subway is 1 minute away and you can get to the very center of Vienna (Stephansdom) in just 3 stops. Even walking there is not a problem. Moreover there are busses, trams and trains too that can take you anywhere you want. We could park our car for free on the street in the weekend and the rest of the time we had the car parked about 15 minutes away for free (a great tip Katharina gave us).
There are 2 great typical Viennese restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance, so is Schloss Belvedere.
Several supermarkets are just 2 minutes away.
So in short, we had a perfect stay and I couldn't think of anything that we didn't like about the apartment. We will definitely come back to this great address. Thanks Katharina!

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
It is not a question of whether the Giants WANT to keep Cruz, of course they do. The team simply can't afford to keep him at the numbers he wants without dismantling a big piece of the team to do it. The front office knows what they have at QB, they know Eli can be successful with a variety of receivers, he has proven it throughout his career. Cruz is a great player no doubt but you dont dismantle your team and build around him. It's a good point about endorsements, Victor will get them anywhere, I would argue NY is the best place to be for his fashion label but I am no fashion expert. Anyways none of this talk is about whether Cruz is a good player, he is, Do you take an axe to the roster to keep him? I wouldn't. Hartline just got a 5 years 30 million dollar deal, Cruz will want more (he is a better player). I don't see how we keep Cruz and Nicks, Nicks is the younger player who can handle the physical contact better to me if you can only afford 1 of them it has to be Nicks.

This looks like the angriest Ichigo's been since he's regained his powers. So I'm looking forward to seeing how well of a fight he'll put up against Bach. One thing that peaked my curiosity this chapter was how Ichigo's reiatsu supposedly vanished immediately after arriving and sensing the condition of Rukia and Renji. But then later on, Bach and his #2 henchmen were able to feel his reiatsu once he confronted them. So either Ichigo's reiatsu spiked upon seeing/sensing his fallen comrades and Kubo's foreshadowing the notion of both Bach and his #2 guy being transcendentals, or Ichigo simply left the immediate area (where he entered SS) so fast and traveled so far away that it would've also felt like his reiatsu vanished.
Beyond that, I'm also disappointed with this chapter. Because honestly, I don't feel like this chapter confirmed Byakuya's death. So the only thing that really happened was Ichigo arriving to confront the big bad. And that's just not all that exciting in and of itself. Especially since the outcome is kind of obvious. I'm not saying Ichigo will lose, but at the very least, its pretty much a given that he's not going to get the chance to end the battle right here and now--even if this means Bach is forced into fleeing from Ichigo.

The only thing good about this chapter was Byakuya admitting being an ignorant ass all the time. I actually liked that.
Next week's chapter: 2 pages of Bach and Ichigo talkin smack and then a transition over to HM. I am calling it now.

This is all too true D=... I'm just having hope that there's something like at the beginning of the Arrancar arc (around the time grand fisher was killed) where the fighting calms down long enough (or even escalates to a worse point) where some other characters can elaborate on it. I can just imagine Ryuuken sitting in his office just staring out the window, knowing what's going on and what's probably going to happen, but then again, I'm just fanboying.
-It hurts knowing that plot points and such will be dropped though--like Orihime's potential during Grimmjow's dialogue vs Ichigo and then Ulqui vs Ichigo.
-The bodies Mayuri found (which i highly believe are going to be shoe-horned into this arc and were never really intended to be in this arc) and so many more.
On a good note: Ichigo will probably talk to Juha the whole chapter about all the terrible things the man has done to his friends and whatnot and also explain how he got out of the cage. Then the cliffhanger will be them clashing...meaning 2 chapters from now, we might actually get to see what's happening/happened in Hueco Mundo.
Deep down I'm still locked on the fact that Mohawk guy was fried by Yama but Kubo seems to have forgotten and put him back somewhere else, alive. Reminds me of Naruto Chapter 599, where so many errors were in... but anyways... yay for Ichigo!!!
P.S.- I hope this means Byakuya is dead finally after living long enough as a blob of blood to tell Ichigo something he really didnt need to say. If Kenpachi is also dead, then there might be hope yet. The last thing I want to see is comic relief Kenpachi seeing Ichigo after th day is saved...or Kenpachi showing up later like he always does and powerhousing through the enemies

I just remember Ichigo having struggled to fight someone who should have been cannon fodder. Suddenly he's up against the main bad guy and what should I make of this? We don't really know how powerful Juha Bach is because he so easily curb-stomped Yamamoto. And I'm supposed to buy (or assume maybe?) that Ichigo is on par with Bach now (all because of Byakuya's 'last words' and Ichigo's resolve) when chapters ago he had to go bankai on a superfluous character.
I don't know. I just feel that this is unnecessary. I kind of wish we could skip forcing the main protagonist and antagonist meeting each other and proceeding in this common shonnen fashion; and I know, I shouldn't complain because I know what I'm reading and what demographic it's for. But for something of this scale (especially since it's a war) I don't feel that is that important that Ichigo meet Juha Bach before the final fight. It should be universally understood that this man is destructive and plans on being evil forever. Ichigo should just take care of the problem after battling some lower level baddies and having some sort of training session. But, alas, no. They'll talk; they'll fight (a little); Ichigo will need to level up; he'll train; they'll fight again. Why fix it if it ain't broken?

text: Hello all, Over the past month or so I've been pretty inactive..the time just seemed to get shorter and shorter. But, in my absence I've completed a few mods that I have been wanting to do for a while now -- so I figured I would share. As always, feel free to give me thoughts and feedback! First mod: Recon LED Tail lights: Next: Tailgate bezel Had leftover paint....so I decided to go along with SurrealOne's transformer stuff, with an added twist: Haven't decided what to do with it yet...but it turned out pretty cool! Gibson Stainless Headers: --Not installed yet, will be soon! Next on the list is 4.10s! Let me know what you think guys!
