The possibility of extending South Greenhill Road all the way to Old Lebanon Dirt Road was discussed at the Board of Commissioners meeting Monday.
The commission voted 5-0 to ask the City Manager to formulate a plan and budget for the project. The commission also added the request of adding a right turn lane heading west on Division, turning onto South Greenhill Road.
The commission also approved $70,350 to Gresham, Smith and Partners to provide professional services for preparation of an interchange access report and assistance with programming of projects on the Transportation Improvement Program. The measure is another step in getting the Central Pike Interchange on I-40 on the future projects of TDOT.
In other business, the commission approved renaming Providence West Boulevard to Providence Parkway and a study of the traffic signals on North Mt. Juliet Road. The study would be completely reimbursed by TDOT.

Totally awesome!
Based on the Japanese spoilers, yeah, it's plural. Madara called it "bijuu-domo".
that last page gave me goose bumps, awesome ending to this chapter.
I can also see the first panel to next weeks chapter.. a collective 'Dad?!?!?!?!' as its still not exactly common knowledge that Minato is Naruto's father..
edit: plus there's a decent possibility that Naruto will get a healing boost from his 'cousin' Karin once the other edo hokage, Oro, Sasuke and Co. arrive.
Sakura and all the Ninjas who Hated on Naruto and called him names, suddenly now they are all his best friends:
"Yah! I have been very close to Naruto Kun since we were in the academy together. "
"Naruto chan, you were always my best student"
"Naruto is so cool, I always feel safe when he's around"
"I wonder why I never noticed until now how Handsome Naruto Kun is"
"Naruto Chan, when this war is over you may kiss me all you want, you are my dream Ninja"
Hah! Hah!
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Paul, he already said it.. the last words of the chapter
'right on time, dad'
hence, the 'HOLY #$%^' moment to start next chapter
Not that the sudden gushing will change much IMO other than Hiashi realizing his daughter couldn't have chosen much better after all..
^ When you think about it, there are really no other Ninjas in the Leaf Village with blond hair beside Naruto, Minato and Tsunade. Seriously, most have black, then there is brown, gray, white, pink, violet, dark blue, red then from other villages there are light blue, orange, bleak yellow... then again, looking only at the statue, you can't really know that he is blond .
Zero, I can name 2 off the top of my head.
Ino and her father
Why can't KB do what Naruto was doing? I gonna haveta go back and re-read the last 8 or so chapters.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
If your referring to the chakra cloaks,
while bee up until just recently was considered the perfect host, this seems far more up Naruto's alley in taking something that is seemingly impossible and make it seem routine.
Naruto has near-perfect chakra control (due to his sage training), that's why. That's why he can mold chakra that would normally be dangerous to the average human into something that is beneficial and adjusted to the chakra type of the human.
Also, Naruto had a guinea pig (Kakashi). He's also probably the only one crazy enough to think that if it worked for Kakashi, it should work for everyone else. It's the same crazy reasoning that led to Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
Would be funny if while this whole battle is going on, there's a set of 100 Naruto clones somewhere doing the same training Kakashi and Yamato taught him so that he could learn techniques on the fly

National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one
of the country's leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to
parents on a broad range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens.
Before your little ghosts and goblins set out for a scary night of trick-or-treating, be sure their prepared to be safe. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you're planning their evening:
There's safety in numbers: If your child's old enough to go out without an adult, make sure they will be trick-or-treating with several friends and be sure you know who they are. Establish a route they will take and set a curfew for when they need to be home. If your child doesn't have a cell phone, let them use yours for the evening. If they are younger and are going out with a friend's parent, contact the parent ahead of time to make sure you know where they will be and a cell phone number to reach the parent. Be sure the parent also knows where to reach you.
Keep it light: If possible, try to create or select a costume in a lighter color which is easier to see in the dark. Place a piece of reflective tape on both the front and back of the costume and also purchase a few glow bracelets or necklaces for your child to wear.
No strings attached: For younger children be sure there are no long strings near the collar of the costume which could pose a strangulation hazard. Also, make sure the costume is not too long which could cause your child to trip (one of the leading causes of accidents at Halloween are falls). Rather than wearing a mask, which might cause limited vision, try non-toxic paint and make-up to create a scary face.
Know the neighborhood: If possible, trick-or-treat in a community where the homes are close together and well lit or, in a city, choose one or two apartment buildings in which you have friends. Only go to areas where there are sidewalks and street lamps. Stay away from homes and roads that are poorly lit. Remind your child to never enter a house, always stay outside the door!
No Pets Allowed: Keep pets in a room away from the front door. Even the friendliest dog could become anxious or aggressive with so many different people coming to the door in strange costumes.
Save the treats for home! Remind your child to not eat anything that they receive until they return home and it can be checked. Anything that is not in an original wrapper should be thrown out. Be careful that candy is not shared with younger siblings - items with nuts, caramel and raisins as well as hard candy and popcorn are all choking hazards for children under the age of five.
And most importantly, remind your child never to get into a car with someone they don't know. If someone approaches them, and they feel at all uncomfortable, explain to them that they should go to the nearest lit home and ring the door.
While these tips won't help prevent the sugar over-load that will inevitably occur, it will help to ensure they arrive home safe and sound.

Skip to comments.Thief Caught On Camera Putting Bottles Of Booze Up Her Skirt [Obama Economy]
Posted on 12/29/2012 4:28:52 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
Surveillance cameras captured an unusual robbery at a Miramar Liquor store.
Earlier this week, the owner of County Line Liquors said a woman stole several bottles of liquor by concealing them in her skirt.
(Excerpt) Read more at miami.cbslocal.com ...
SEVERAL bottles... ???
The ad before the video is for a "clearance sale". LOL!! Anyway the "skirt" obviously is special made for shop lifting.
A few years ago I was in the Albertsons that use to be at 441 and Glades road in Boca and watched as a very large black woman lifted her skirt and put 4 very large cuts of beef (it's what's for dinner) in to her undies. Then tried to waddle out and got caught.
Screamed that it was racism until they started to fall out.
Bout died laughing
Hey, doesn't a case or two come along with the free obamaphones for the entitled society as reparations?
They look like gypsies to me. Were they enslaved in the United States?
Someone we know was in a store when a full ham fell out of a large black woman's skirt. She started asking other people where it came from in a surprised manner.
I truly despise thieves. They are a scourge on humanity.
We need to bring back the old punishments for stealing. IMO.
I've seen the exact same thing.
It was 1976 when I lived in Mobile, Alabama.
She had about $50 worth of meat under her skirt, mostly steaks and 3 or 4 large bone in rump roast.
'Cause yo EBT card won't cover booze!
Apple users can see this flash by going to the apple store and downloading Puffin. Anyone use a better one to show 'ADobe Flash' in apple?
I'm a retired correctional officer. You ought to see how inmates deal with an individual who steals from them!
Baby got rump roast.
Ding! We have a winner.
And when they looked up her dress they found fifty pounds of crack.
Needed booze for a New Years party.
Obviously a nobama voter. She's just preparing for the inauguration celebration. Merely righteous redistribution, I'd say.
Disgusting video. Entitled to someone else's property without paying. OTOH, this is liberal South Florida. The disease of liberalism runs "thick and crusty" down there.
More and more are starting to follow the Obama government's lead. If you want something, steal it.
At one point you can see her put an entire box into her skirt....Oh, Lord I won't comment. I doubt they drank it. Sold it at an after hours club, I'd bet. 35 shots at $5.00 a piece X's how many bottles is more than $200.00.
I was a floorwalker (Security) for Sears in 1975 and I caught a Russian lady with a TV between her legs. When we went to court, the lawyer said she was poor, divorced, etc. etc,. The judge asked me how I knew she was stealing when I freely admitted I hadn't seen her actually take possession of the TV. I said I had been walking behind her and I saw a cord dragging behind her and when I went to plug her in, she dropped the merchandise. Two weeks later, the cops raided her property and found $thousands of dollars of shoplifted merchandise in her house, garage and shed.
"Here Michelle Obama shows the G8 ladies how she sneaks a full ham and turkey under her skirt to the Lincoln bedroom."
Michelle was heard commenting:
"It ain't the meat it's the motion."
A friend worked security at Sears in KC years ago. A very large black woman in a mumu came in, specially equipped with straps underneath.
She grabbed a microwave, put it between her legs, and sauntered out. She got caught.
The friend said you would not know the oven was there if you had not seen the deed on camera.
To which my brother in law replied, she would be a killer at a Daihatsu dealership.
Why would I need to install anything extra? Video played fine for me on my MacBook Pro with nothing extra installed (yes, flash is installed).
I"m trying to figure THIS out:
It ages the scotch way faster than usual.
I learned in the military that a barracks thief is the most accident prone person there is.
'Why ..need....anything extra.....MacBook ........
You would need flash help if you owned an IPAD ....GRAMPS...sack some groceries till u git the loot n join us in the 21st cent.
Gramps? The video also played on my iPhone... It has no more flash support than an iPad.
Used to be a saying
"All that meat and no potatoes"
Now picture said lady getting home, preparing dinner and the old man saying "How come this steak tastes like fish"?
Old man driving down the road hits a skunk
Wife starts screaming at him, he goes back, she examines and finds it is still alive but shaking.
She picks it up and say "Lets go to the Vet, the poor thing acts like it is freezing to death"....
"Put it under your skirt, it will keep him warm"
"What about the smell"?
"He will get used to it, I did".....

The resultant is the vector sum of two or more vectors. It is the result of adding two or more vectors together. If displacement vectors A, B, and C are added together, the result will be vector R. As shown in the diagram, vector R can be determined by the use of an accurately drawn, scaled, vector addition diagram.
To say that vector R is the resultant displacement of displacement vectors A, B, and C is to say that a person who walked with displacements A, then B, and then C would be displaced by the same amount as a person who walked with displacement R. Displacement vector R gives the same result as displacement vectors A + B + C. That is why it can be said that
The above discussion pertains to the result of adding displacement vectors. When displacement vectors are added, the result is a resultant displacement. But any two vectors can be added as long as they are the same vector quantity. If two or more velocity vectors are added, then the result is a resultant velocity. If two or more force vectors are added, then the result is a resultant force. If two or more momentum vectors are added, then the result is ...
In all such cases, the resultant vector (whether a displacement vector, force vector, velocity vector, etc.) is the result of adding the individual vectors. It is the same thing as adding A + B + C + ... . "To do A + B + C is the same as to do R." As an example, consider a football player who gets hit simultaneously by three players on the opposing team (players A, B, and C). The football player experiences three different applied forces. Each applied force contributes to a total or resulting force. If the three forces are added together using methods of vector addition (discussed earlier), then the resultant vector R can be determined. In this case, to experience the three forces A, B and C is the same as experiencing force R. To be hit by players A, B, and C would result in the same force as being hit by one player applying force R. "To do A + B + C is the same as to do R." Vector R is the same result as vectors A + B + C!!
In summary, the resultant is the vector sum of all the individual vectors. The resultant is the result of combining the individual vectors together. The resultant can be determined by adding the individual forces together using vector addition methods.

We have a little tradition here at the Nation Network. They who win the Battle of Alberta writes the next GDB on both sites. So buckle up Flames Fans because you are going to get it and we are going to give it to you.
For far too long Edmontonians and Calgarians have battled back and forth with the same old witty jabs and name calling. Calgary has one Cup - a bra has two. Edmonton has no running water or intelligence of any sort. You have the Stampede, we have a free hot dog lunch in the parking lot of Bonnie Doon shopping mall. Yeah, yeah yeah. We get it.
This time around we are dispensing with the usual insults and getting to the heart of the matter of what is really wrong with you Calgary.
Oooooh. We get it Calgary. You are the rich neighbours to the South with all of your money and power and fancy high rise buildings. Everyone understands that at some point in the mid 90s all of our businesses picked up and moved down Highway 2. Well guess what? We were like 8 years old when that happened. Didn't care then - didn't care now.
Frankly you did us a favour Calgary. We will never figure out how jedi mind tricked the bulk of our corporate douchebags to pack up their drycleaned belongings and move three hours away but we thank you.
And while we watch the game tonight and see a bunch of non-plussed suit types sitting on their hands in the Saddledome in jerseys that still have their tags on we will thank the Gods that none of them are up here pretending to be Oilers fans anymore.
Good riddance.
US v YOU
Speaking of Flames fans where have they gone? We seem to remember a whole mess of people filing into your Red Mile during your ill fated Cup run. People all over the were quick to cheer for "KIPPPPPERRRRRRRR" and "IGGGGGYYY" and Company. And yet nowdays there don't seem to be nearly as many people up repping the flaming C.
That's probably because the bulk of people following aren't really Flames fans. They are sports consumers. When the milk is fresh you are all happy to have a glass. When the milk goes sour - no one will come within a hundred miles.
Contrast that with Edmonton. We have been drinking sour milk for so long we have developed a taste for it. In fact many of us now prefer it. Doesn't matter if the Oilers finish in last place every year until the end of time. Oilers fans are in the business of living and dying with the team. Anyone with any hockey sense at all would have abandoned this team years ago and yet here we are millions strong all around the world.
And luckily the Oil are on the verge of being awesome. While Calgary is going to gently float down to the bottom of the league until your 33 NTCs expire in 2035.
Looking at your roster - who is there even to get excited about?! Iginla in the prime of the twilight of his fine career? Pfft. Steve Begin? Jiri Hudler? Who the hell are any of these old bastards anyway? There is literally not a single player on your entire roster that we could possibly get excited about. Anyone skilled is old. Anyone young is marginal. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
We remember when we were trying to convince ourselves that players like Roman Cervenka were going to be the answer. Our Cervenka had names like Cole and O'Sullivan. We hoped and prayed late into the night that they could find something deep down within themselves and become awesome. And guess what - it didn't work.
It never works. Your roster was built around a core and that core expired about 4 years ago. Now you are like the guy who went all in on a 5-3 offsuit with a hunch "things were going to look better after the flop." Well the flop came up all Kings and now you have nothing left to do but play out your hand.
And lose.
There is literally nothing you can do to win this battle Flames fans. Even if the Oilers lose (and they may) they are still the far superior team and we both know it. Even if the Flames win by 10 goals it will be no more satisfying than being given a free shrimp cocktail at a banquet on the Titanic. You are headed to the bottom and everyone on board is starting to sense disaster.
And there isn't an insult in the book you can lob our way that will have any impact. Yes we are your hillbilly cousins up Highway 2. We are eternal optimists who have had a crap team and lacked the brain stem or the reality check to realize it. Now after being rewarded for coming in last for so long we have an embarassment of riches for a lineup and 18 year old Russian superstars sliding all over while we lose our drunken minds in celebration.
Its all happening up here and nothing is happening down there and you would be madder except that most of your bandwagon jumping fans have left long ago. Perhaps we should lend you the terms "ELPH" and "Shitanusly bad hockey." They got us through some dark days.
Oh and it's Wayne Gretzky's birthday today. Remember him?
GAME DAY PREDICTION: This is as easy to predict as getting some drunk Calgary
tramp girl to flash her boobs during the only Cup run Calgarians will witness in the next two decades...Oilers win 5-2.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: One thing Flames and Oiler fans can agree on is it is great not having Mark Lee call the game on HNIC. Also buckle up it could be a long game with Tom Kowal and Greg Kimmerly reffing the game. They are as blind as the guys who thought every Calgary
tramp girl who flashed on the red mile was hot.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: During the second period one of the mics at ice level picks up the audio from a conversation between Jarome Iginla and Jordan Eberle.
"Hey Ebs, tell Tambo I'd gladly waive my non-trade clause and come play with you guys." Eberle smiles and replies, "You betcha, but I hope you are okay playing on the 2nd line." Iginla smiles, "No problem, at least I'd have a chance to make the playoffs again." Within moment the Nations blow up with talk of a possible trade. Flames fans start calling him "Judas", while Oiler fans calmly sit back knowing that Iginla speaks the truth.
Thanks to Gregor for giving me his Game Day Predictions

Well thought-out, unbiased arguments. Reffing was brutal, but I'm not going to say Glencross didn't deserve a penalty for running over Dubnyk. Backlund didn't mug anybody on that goal - when the puck is in the crease everybody has the right to go after it. WTF did Eberle trip over to put Giordano in the box? Gio held his stick strong on the puck, Eberle tried to lift it, couldn't, and fell over. How do you get a tripping penalty without touching somebody's legs? Brutal.
You'd better come up with some better excuses, it's looking like it's going to be another long year up north.
The officiating was terrible. My brother (who is a Canucks fan) was disgusted by the bias the officials showed. The backlund goal should never count; gagner's goal got waived off against LA for far less goalie interference. If you can skate into the opposing goalie and push him back in his net like that then every team would do it to get easy goals. The giordano penalty was not a penalty but that was the only time last night that the refs blew a call against the flames.

Just pushin' this b!tch to 350.
Game sucked. Young guys are carrying the load. On nights like these it would have been nice to have some vets show up on the score sheet.

I've never been on a GDB that pushed 8 pages and 351 comments.
Man. It's lonely out here. Weird.

Terrible officiating, but a fun game. Props to Schultz and a powerplay that will be making grown men cry by the end of the season. As always, looking forward to the next BOA.

Sibling rivalry is a good thing: Canyon's Andersons
If you're a fan of Orange County basketball, the last name Anderson should ring a bell.
First there was Jerime, who was named Orange County Player of the Year in 2008.
Then there was Chris, who earned the same award in 2011.
Now it's Nick carrying the torch as a sophomore combo guard at Canyon High.
"The kids have all been amazing individuals," said Comanches boys basketball Coach Nate Harrison. "Personally, they are all great kids to coach. We've won a lot of games with Andersons in the lineup."
Over the last decade, Canyon has become one of the area's premier basketball programs. For nine of those years, there has been an Anderson on the team.
Jerime – the eldest – started his freshman year back in 2004. He immediately set the bar high, contributing on varsity in his first year. From his sophomore season on, Jerime earned All-CIF and All-Century League honors.
"I remember being in seventh grade and watching Jerime play," Chris said. "It was exciting to watch him. I'd say to myself, 'I want to be like that.'"
Before he knew it, Chris was on the same court with his big brother. At practice, it was Chris – a freshman – who was assigned to defend the county's best player.
"I was 4-11, 5 feet tall my freshman year," he recalled. "And I'm guarding Jerime, who's 6-3."
As a senior, Jerime averaged 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists per game. The Comanches made the CIF-Southern Section Division 1A quarterfinals, and Jerime became one of the top recruits in the nation. He settled on UCLA, and left the reins at point guard to Chris.
In his sophomore year, Chris one-upped his big brother, leading Canyon to the CIF-SS Division 3AA championship.
"I give him a hard time about it," Chris said. "I'm the one in the family with the ring."
Chris – the smallest of the three at 5 feet 7 inches – played a lot like his older brother. Despite his size, Chris also led Canyon in rebounding. In his senior year, he averaged 21 points, eights assists and eight rebounds per game. Chris also earned an NCAA Division I scholarship, signing with the University of San Diego.
Although Nick – the youngest – was unable to play with either of his brothers at Canyon, he still took away valuable lessons.
"Watching them play made me actually learn a lot about developing my game," Nick said. "It makes me want to go that far, and as high as they did. It pushes me and drives me to do even better."
Like his brothers, Nick made varsity his freshman year. Now a sophomore, he leads the team in rebounding with six boards a game, and his 11 points per game are good enough for second on the squad.
"I think my brothers have better motors than I do," Nick said. "But I think I'm a better shooter."
Already 6-foot-1, Nick may grow to be the tallest. He also has the most to live up to, seeing as both of his siblings won Orange County Player of the Year.
Jerime and Chris agree that their younger brother can handle any adversity.
"Nick is pretty easygoing, so I don't think pressure really gets to him," Jerime said. "He knows there is a lot expected out of him, but he's creating his own path and I think he'll be just fine. O.C. Player of the Year in the making."
"Nick's fearless," Chris said. "We'll be there for him. We're each other's biggest fans."
These days, Jerime is playing basketball in Belgium for Royal Basket Club Verviers-Pepinster. Chris is a sophomore at the University of San Diego.
The brothers communicate regularly through Skype and instant messaging. Nick sees every one of Chris' home games at USD, and Chris will head north as often as possible to see his younger brother play.
Jerime – always setting the bar for the others – earned his first European win in November when he sank a half-court shot at the buzzer for an 87-84 victory.
Never to be outdone, Chris made a game-winning reverse layup with 0.2 seconds left in USD's 69-68 win over Loyola Marymount on Monday.
Looks like Nick is up next.

he Reebok Ai9 hockey sticks are the premier sticks in the Reebok Ai stick line. The Ai hockey sticks focus on providing maximum power. Reebok has introduced a few new features to the Ai 9 hockey stick such as, the 2:1 power taper, Xlerated Blade, and mid-kick point to make the A.I 9 stick the most powerful stick from Reebok.
The greatest difference between the Ai 9 stick and the Reebok 11K is the flex point. The Reebok AI9 stick features a mid-kick point that is not quite as fast of a shot release but it results in a more powerful shot because it allows the stick to store more energy. Reebok recently examined several NHL players stick to see what flex profile was being used and found that 60% of the players were using mid-kick sticks and only 40% were using low kick sticks.
To further increase power Reebok has introduced the 2:1 power taper, and Xlerated blade. The 2:1 ratio is that the top and bottom walls are twice as stiff as the sides. According to Reebok this design allows for effortless loading and maximum power transfer/stability. Reebok has also added a new blade core to the Ai 9 stick which they are calling the Xlerated Blade. The Xlerated Blade is a new highly reactive foam bare combined with an added layer of extra stiff carbon on the blade surface provide more direct power.
The Reebok Ai nine stick features a dark profile from the players perspective to make it a little easier for the player to identify with the puck.

O'Brien Traded for Ryan Parent
Kent Wilson
October 05 2010 10:42AM
According to Bob McKenzie tweet, the Canucks may have traded the recent waived Shane O'Brien for Nashville prospect Ryan Parent.
The full trade according to McKenzie is:
O'Brian and Dan Gendur for Parent and another player not off the NHL roster.
Parent's current deal is a two-year contract worth $925k year. Assuming he makes the team, Parent will save the Canucks about 675k in cap space relative to O'Brien.
As for Gendur, he's a trivial throw-in. A former 7th round pick, Gendur is 23 and has played in the ECHL for most of his pro career. He'll never be an NHLer. It's a good bet the Canucks are receiving a similar quality player from the Predators to comeplete the deal.
*EDIT - Jonas Andersson is the other player heading to Vancouver. A former 2nd round pick, Andersson is actually a 29 year old veteran who has mostly played in Europe, but skipped the pond to try to make the Predators this year. He's certainly better than Gendur, but is in tough to make the Canucks parent squad anyways.
Well, that was a stroke of luck!
Since SOB and Parent were both destined for the minors anyway, the trade doesn't really save any cap space. Just saves the team money overall.
What it does is keep SOB and his questionable behaviour away from young kids in the organization. So for that, it's a great move.

About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

comfy foam base
"The base of the shoe is completely foam and it's a minimus shoe so don't expect anything fancy with the design. I'm trying to shift into forefoot running and this one came fairly commonly recommended so I decided to give them a try. I'm not disappointed but I'm not overly impressed either. I think I expected them to be much more comfy than they are."

Good chapter. I cant wait to see Mukuro, Xanxus, Dino, Squalo, and Byakuran join forces to fight Jager! Sure, Jager is strong, but against those five!!?? They shouldnt lose. I dont think the allies needed both Chrome and Flan in the same group. Why have two illussion types? One of them should have stayed with Reborn's group.....now that I think about it then that would put two illusionist in Reborn's group too.
How in the world did Big P and Little S lose their Vindice cloaks? Remember it took a combined effort from Tsuna, Chrome, and Mukuro to dis-robe Jager and Co.

^ They were fighting without their cloaks form the beginning (2 pics):
So, where is Hibari ?
Bermuda has still some time left from Skull's watch, he might just erase them within seconds if he were to release, but I think that Reborn has some time left as well and there are 2 more arcobalenos anyway.
I wonder what the doctor could do when he temporarily releases his curse.
^ never really thought about it. Maybe he could create diseases and the like. Or maybe a mega weapon, nuclear. He might not be able to use the weapon, but he could create and customize it. On second thought, thats what he already does. I've noticed that none of the grown arcobelano's abilities are that much superior to the baby versions. Baby Skull might have taken more damage than grown Skull ever did when he took a fist through the brain. Reborn and Conello(sp) were both good shots and assasins grown and baby versions. Just saying.....

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Kermit Omar Rogers of Shannon no longer faces federal drug charges after his case was dismissed because his constitutional rights were violated.
What's unusual about Rogers' case outcome is that it results from harsh criticism by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
During that 2012 hearing, Judge Grady Jolly, a Mississippi native, lambasted the U.S. Attorney's Office for using a flawed search warrant for property different from what was requested in 2009.
Rogers, 38, was indicted and was denied motions to suppress a post-arrest statement and to suppress evidence found on property adjacent to the address on the search warrant.
The original search was for 320 CR 401, Shannon, but officers also searched a building and vehicle at 320-A CR 401, which was not specified on the warrant. Drugs were found at both locations.
Without holding a hearing on conflicting information, the motions were denied.
"This is a great day for the 4th Amendment," said Rogers' attorney, Rob Laher of Tupelo. The 4th Amendment protects citizens from illegal searches and seizures.
In December 2010, Rogers pleaded guilty to one count and avoided trial then was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
His first appeal to the 5th Circuit was dismissed, but last July, the appeals court vacated his conviction and sent the case back to North Mississippi for a hearing on his motion about the search warrant.
Laher argued that drugs found in Rogers' truck parked outside 320A CR 401 should be excluded into evidence because that location wasn't on the search warrant.
Judge Michael P. Mills agreed, saying Rogers' 4th Amendment rights were violated and the evidence gained by it never could be used against him again.

Outside Directors, Liability Risk and Corporate Governance: A Comparative Analysis (German Version)

ECGI - Law Working Paper No. 48
U of Texas law, Law and Econ Research Paper No. 31
Outside directors constitute a key component of most prescriptions for good governance of public companies. Given that outside directors are important corporate governance players, one is led to wonder what will motivate the individuals serving in this capacity to carry out their responsibilities in an effective manner. An obvious possibility is that concerns about being held personally liable will push them to perform effectively. This chapter correspondingly considers the scope of outside director liability in seven countries (Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United States). The chapter indicates that outside directors of public companies are at some risk when litigants are seeking to send a message to those serving in the boardroom of public companies. Generally, however, such individuals only very rarely pay damages or legal expenses out-of-their own pocket. The chapter offers a brief assessment of the costs and benefits of current arrangements and concludes that, consistent with the current cross-border pattern, out-of-pocket liability should remain a rare outcome.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Thank you So much for the beautiful blind! It is a very large blind that I was dreading having to change, but this is lovely. The stripe is very subtle, the difference in warmth is astounding. I wonder what took me so long to change!!View this product
