* required fields
By Richard L. Fricklas
At higher slopes, metal panels begin to shed water and ice. Much of the panels resistance to water and ice is achieved with underlayments over a supporting roof deck.
When snow accumulates on a roof, it creates a strong adhesive bond with the metal roofing panels, which translates a vertical load from the roofs surface into a vector load parallel to the panels.
When heat escapes through the roof, it can warm the roofs surface to temperatures above outside air. This temperature difference can cause melted snow to thaw and refreeze as it makes its way down the sloped roof, which then results in ice dams.
De-icing cable can ensure a steady, unobtrusive melt.
Continuous horizontal components assembled laterally across the roof, like this snow rail, can aid snow retention.
Small individual units like these ice clips can also help retain snow when they are attached at or near the eave.
Seal the framing attachment points to prevent water damage during installation if you are retrofitting a new framing system over an existing low-slope roof.
Last month, we addressed applying and maintaining membrane roofing through the seasons. This month, we'll examine the design of metal roof systems for cold seasons, aided by the Metal Construction Association's helpful guide, Guidelines for Commercial Roofing: Metal Roof Design for Cold Climates.
Metal vs. Other Roofing Systems
Metal roof systems are different enough from other membrane roof systems that they must be addressed separately. Special considerations include:
With conventional low slope membranes, one critical issue is the difficulty of creating a continuous waterproof membrane during cold and wet weather. Methods of forming watertight seams rely upon heat (hot asphalt, torch application, evaporation of solvents, and self-adhesion).
With metal roof systems, hydrostatic systems require correct application of field- or factory-applied sealants, while water-shedding systems rely upon gravity and capillary breaks and appropriate design of the formed seams. At higher slopes, these panels become water and ice shedders and much of the water and ice resistance is achieved with underlayments over a supporting roof deck.
Gravity loads are generally a non-issue with low slope membranes other than the dead load of the ponded water, ice, or snow. With sloped metal roofs, the load of interest is that which might drag the metal panels downslope.
When snow blankets a roof, a strong adhesive bond occurs between the snow blanket and the metal panels. This translates a vertical load from the roof surface to a vector load parallel to the panels' surface. Sometimes called a drag load or gravity load, it represents forces that attempt to pull a panel down the slope of the roof. In cases of small, unitized metal roof products or products with multiple points of positive fixity – a singular point of attachment between the panel and the structure or substrate – vector loads are distributed over each attachment and do not have a cumulative effect.
Most popular standing seam and similar products are designed with floating attachments that enable the panel to respond freely to thermally induced stresses, and many have just one point of rigid attachment with any other attachments being of a floating or sliding nature. In this design, the vector loads of a snow blanket on the roof's surface accumulate to that single rigid point, so the point's attachment must be adequate to resist accumulated loads (see above).
Thawing, Shedding, and Retention
In addition to gravity loads, several snowmelt phenomena affect roof performance:
When updating the roof or starting a new project, a few design considerations can make quite a bit of difference in ice accumulation. Ensure the best performance of your metal roof in the winter with these tips:
You'll also need a plan to deal with snow shedding and retention. Snow shed may be appropriate, but if it's not anticipated during design, it can become very inconvenient, destructive, or both. The locations of pedestrian traffic and parking should avoid or at least anticipate this snow slide.
To encourage snow retention, the preferred practice is to use snow guards that clamp the standing seam without actually puncturing the panel material. Use continuous horizontal components, such as snow rails, assembled laterally across the roof or small individual units attached at or near the eave. Whichever tack you take, remember that any snow retention devices must be engineered and proven to resist drag loads.
Construction Concerns
If you plan to head up to the roof for a construction project in cold or wet weather, be prepared for additional challenges. Field-applied sealants may pose a problem if the temperature is too low – like most products that rely on self-adhesion, sealants require a dry surface above freezing temperatures. Metal roofing products such as Galvalume can develop dark gray to black areas while in storage if your stacks of sheets or panels are exposed to moisture while packed too tightly. Either store these panels in a dry area or ensure they can drain freely. If you have to store them outside, elevate one end of each bundle to let the moisture run off.
When you plan to retrofit a new framing system over an existing low-slope roof, you face a great potential for leaks to occur while the framing is installed. NRCA recommends sealing the framing attachment points to prevent water damage that can occur before the new roof system is completed.
For a steep metal roof configuration, make sure you've chosen the right underlayment. Many eave flashing underlayments use self-adhering modified bituminous materials. However, research has shown that dark-colored metal panels or panels made of copper, lead, zinc, or Terne may reach temperatures beyond the flow point of asphaltic adhesives. You may need to choose a non-asphaltic product, such as an all-butyl underlayment, to prevent the underlayment from melting and flowing when summer rolls around again. Using laminated photovoltaic panels may also increase the service temperatures considerably.
If the space below your metal panels is inadequately ventilated or if vapors can pass from the building interior to the underside of the panels, condensation can occur on the panels' back side. This means that in cold nighttime weather, the panels will dip below the ambient air temperature, creating the perfect conditions for condensation when warm interior air reaches the panels and cools. It may be necessary to use polyfilm beneath the roof panels so no condensate collects there. Note that most metal panel warranties exclude bottom-side condensation and corrosion.
Don't let these warnings scare you off – metal roofing can succeed in cold climates. Pay attention to the guidelines offered here by MBCA, NRCA, SMACNA, and MCA to achieve a durable roof system that can withstand severe winter conditions.

Orangeville City Council met on March 8 in their regular city council meeting. One of the first items on the agenda was a donation request by Brian Dawes for the Emery County Community Theater. The city council approved a donation of $100. The disposition of an old Orangeville City road grader needing extensive repair was discussed. The decision was made to trade the grader to Danny Cox in exchange for work he will provide.
The need for an upgraded cell phone for the city zoning administrator was tabled until further information and pricing is received.
The need for additional tables and chairs for the community center was considered. It was decided there were sufficient chairs, but the purchase of tables to replace broken tables and a few 18 inch wide tables would be useful. The quantity and the cost of tables will be looked into and recommendations will be made at a future meeting.
Due to a recommendation by the Utah Local Government and Trust Insurance Company, the Orangeville City Council decided that anyone wanting to volunteer to help out on city projects would be required to fill out a volunteer application. This will also apply to Eagle Scouts wanting to do an Eagle Scout project on city property. Those volunteers and Eagle Scouts working on projects will have to be supervised by a city employee. This is being instituted to protect the city from liability and to keep better track of the various projects that volunteers and scouts are involved in.
A resolution raising the amount of money a city employee or a member of the city council and the fire department may spend without city council authorization was adopted.
A resolution was passed, setting forth the Observance of Religious Freedom. In other words all religions will be respected equally in city council meetings.
Due to a few citizens complaints the city council passed a resolution regarding city office hours. Those hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The planning commission represented by Dennis Tuttle requested guidance from the city council concerning people who rent out single family homes or basement apartments and become landlords of single-family homes and basement apartments. Landlords of duplexes, fourplexes and apartment houses are required to have a city business license. The city attorney wrote a letter stating anyone getting income from renting a building was considered a business. Tuttle could not find other cities requiring a city business license for people that rent single family homes or basement apartments. The city council did not make a recommendation. This topic will be discussed again at the next planning commission meeting. Carol Stilson reported that the Orangeville City Cleanup Day would begin April 28. An Orangeville Easter Egg Hunt is being planned.
James Davis reviewed the possibility of several projects in the Orangeville Welcome Park. Those projects could possibly become Eagle Scout projects, such as a winding sidewalk along the creek bank, a gazebo in the center of the park, some benches, a few decorative street lights, a couple of picnic tables and some trenching for sprinklers and electrical. This would be done when and as the budget would allow. The site prep could be done now with the trenching, the pipe and the electrical wire and next year start on one or two of the other projects. This park could tie in with a walking path someday. The city will look for volunteers to help with these projects.
Reese Jewkes presented to the city Council, a plan for installing electronically operated sprinkler heads in the Orangeville Cemetery. This would require about 4,000-5,000 feet of electrical wire and the rental of a trencher. The city council approved going ahead with this project.
Ruanne Leeflang reminded the city council that it is budget time and each council person needs to review each of their departments. Mayor Pat Jones said, "The city is hurting for money, try to stay with in your budgets and keep it less if you can. We may not get the amount of money that is proposed in the budget." The budget year ends June 30.

|In response to Re: Americast "creak" under load
: I have installed an Americast Princeton bathtub and find that flex under load at the back wall stringer creates a creaking noise. I confirmed the tub to be level front to back and side to side. The flange of the tub has a small gap (1/6 to 3/32 of an inch) at the drain end when resting on the stringer and the flex noise in that area stops when a small cedar wedge is fitted. I cannot find any other point with a tub flange to stringer gap of any sort.
: I have removed the tub inspected the stringer and floor and found them to be dead level, parallel and smooth.
: In preparation for reinstallation, I sanded off the mold selvage along the underside of the tubs flange area but am wondering whether there is any sort of bedding that I might put on the stringer to eliminate gaps and the resultant creaking noise when loaded? I'm concerned that whatever I do needs to be able to support the roughly 700 pound of water that a full tub will hold and have reasonable longevity.
: Given the large number of these tubs sold I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this problem.
: An ideas/suggestions will be appreciated!

Saracens moved back to second in the Aviva Premiership table after they beat Gloucester 28-23 in an absorbing fixture on Sunday.
Saracens moved back up to second in the Aviva Premiership standings after they overcame Gloucester 28-23 in an absorbing clash in Watford on Sunday.
The opening exchanges of the game were a fractious affair as both sides struggled to create any impetus to implement attacking chances.
Billy Twelvetrees and Charlie Hodgson, returning from an injury lay-off, exchanged two penalties apiece as referee Sean Davey was quick to punish any ruck infringements.
As the Cherry and Whites were imposing themselves on the Saracens try-line, loosehead prop Dan Murphy showed a quick turn of pace to charge down a misguided Hodgson kicked before collecting to score. Twelvetrees' conversion put Gloucster into a 13-6 lead.
Just minutes after his try-scoring exploits, Murphy was sin-binned for not releasing in the tackle. Hodgson made the most of the numerical advantage with a further two penalties bringing the London side to within a point at half-time.
Hodgson landed a penalty early in the second half to give his side the lead for the first time in the game.
Gloucester immediately struck back when a bout of impressive multi-phase attacks enabled Akapusi Qera to cross for a converted try and reclaim the lead.
In a similar vein to the first half, Gloucester's try was preceded by a yellow card, the guilty party on this occasion being Tongan number eight Sione Kalamafoni.
Gloucester's lack of discipline was being punished by the metronomic boot of Hodgson as he continued his 100 per cent kicking record reducing the arrears to 20-18.
Replacement scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth raced to the line to score after a fine display of counter-attacking play by the hosts' backline.
Tweletrees and Hodgson traded penalties to leave the score finely posed at 28-23 with 10 minutes remaining.
As the Cherry and Whites bombarded the Saracens line, Wigglesworth was the third player to be yellow-carded, but the hosts bravely held on to record a vital win over their top-of-the-table rivals.

Rice Processing Procedures Paddy Cleaning : removes foreign objects, such as hey, straw, stone, tree stump and snail shell from the paddy. * Rice Husking: rubs excessive husks off cleaned paddy. Once removed, brown rice is separated from the husks through the ventilation process. * Rice Paddy Separating: separates some unhusked paddy from brown rice by applying a difference in gravitational pull and surface friction. The unhusked paddy, then, re-enters the husking process. Rice Milling: strips off the bran layer from brown rice. The bran layer is blown out by air, which sucks in the brand layer. This process usually takes 2 to 3 cycles, depending on the required milling degree. * Rice Grading: separates milled rice (mixture of different sizes: whole grain, head rice and broken rice) by a sieve grader. The finished rice will be stored in individual bads, according to its grade. And the rice is ready for delivery

Stunning but not the most comfortable
"Ok, I kept these boots because they were so darn sexy and I was on a mission to find a boot just like this. They run true to size but are honestly not the most comfortable boots. However, beauty isn't always comfortable, right? I think with an insert I should be good to go!"

Gorgeous Shoe!
"This shoe is stunning and so sexy, but runs small/short. I ordered a 10, which is already up a 1/2 size for me, so it should have been big or just right. I can barely stuff my foot in. I can't bear to not have them, though, so back to the store I go for a bigger pair-- my first size 11s in my life! I indicated that they were less comfy, but that may not be true in the proper size."

Copp-Dash Inspired: Craig Muderlak's Alaskan Adventure
At Black Diamond, we're passionate about empowering climbers to not only push their limits in the mountains, but to also share their stories of inspiration when they come home.

Established in the memory of Jonny Copp and Micah Dash—two leading alpinists, BD brothers and storytellers who lost their lives in the mountains in 2009—the award is a way to keep their vision alive. Craig Muderlak, a filmmaker, artist and climber, won the 2016 Copp-Dash award to document a rowdy plan to put up first ascents in Alaska … but that was only half of the story. His team would also travel by homemade skis, burn 'em to lose the weight and then pack raft back to civilization. This is his story, told with the help of artwork he created after his adventure.Read Full Story »

"I love the higher wedge on this sandal it really dresses it up! and buy one new pair (at least) every spring. I got the green last year, the brown just recently. FYI: pics don't do the brown justice, it combines both silver and gold threads in the flower-patterned band."

"I love this shoe! I own several pair in different colors and wear them from spring through late fall (as late as possible). Ok, call me a barefoot girl, but if I have to wear shoes, this is it! I wear them with skirts, shorts, capris, dresses at work (at a university), hiking pants, jeans, you understand! They are the perfect shoe. Buy several!!!"

I remember growing up in St. George, my father in his ecclesiastical position as a counselor in the St. George East Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, would head out in a pickup truck with Stake President Truman Bowler and Stake Counselor Willard Milne to drive the 60 miles of bumpy dirt roads to get to Mt. Trumbull. I don't remember if it was a monthly or a quarterly trip, but it was always a memorable experience, and my father would always tell me how dedicated and hardworking those ranchers were who lived and worked on the Arizona Strip during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Andrew McArthur also wrote a memory he had shortly after he returned from an LDS mission in 1936 and was asked to go to Bundyville to attend church. He asked when church started.
"I was told that it started 30 minutes after I got there. I said how could that be and they said that when I got there to go to the building where church was held and ring the bell long and good. This building was the School House and everything else," McArthur wrote. "When I got there on that particular Sunday morning I went to the building and found the bell and gave it a lot of good rings and sure enough, in about 30 minutes, the congregation was there and read to start meeting. They came from all over."
The Mt. Trumbull School, built in 1918 (another Bureau of Land Management press release says it was completed in 1922), was the central gathering place of those who lived there. During the 1930s, the population peaked between 200 and 250 residents "when a drier climate forced residents to switch their livelihood from crops to cattle and sheep," the national monument website states.
The school housed grades kindergarten through 12th grade in one room until 1966 or 1968 (BLM documents list both dates). Because it was also used for various other functions. "People came from miles around to attend dances and listen to music played by local musicians which was their main source of entertainment," a BLM press release stated in 2000.
"The first schooling in the area took place in the home of one of the local residents," the BLM press release continued. "In order to accommodate a growing student-body, a modest schoolhouse was built. Soon it became too small and was moved to make room for the existing building which was completed in 1922, and continued to be used until 1966."
"Lumber for the school came from the Mt. Trumbull/Mt. Logan area and was dragged by horse-drawn wagon down the Old Slide Road, the BLM press release stated. "The road was so steep that workers had to tie down the wagons wheels and skid the wagon down the incline."
During the 1930s, residents grew a variety of crops including corn, beans, wheat, squash and other crops for family use and for market sale, according to the BLM release, which also stated that "Because of a climate change, making farming more difficult, and the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, most people moved away from Mount Trumbull into the towns of Washington County, Utah."
Meanwhile, the school building eventually fell into disrepair until 1990, when local residents and the BLM partnered to restore the school which sits on BLM public land. The restored schoolhouse was dedicated Sept. 24, 1994, during which a crowd of about 500 persons attended.
"We've had people from all walks of life working on this – people who went to school out there, even people who just heard about what we're doing out there," BLM Arizona Strip District Public Affairs Officer Bette Arial was quoted in the Sept. 22, 1994 edition of The Spectrum by reporter Erica C. Cline.
Then on July 31, 2000, "arsonists burned the historic Mount Trumbull schoolhouse," the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument website states.
At that time, federal investigators were also investigating a fire that destroyed the small Tuweep Church built in the 1920s, and located one mile north of the Grand Canyon Tuweep Overlook.
"It is important that vandals know they do not run the show," BLM Field Manager Roger Taylor was quoted in an Aug. 15, 2000 news release written by BLM Public Affairs Manager Bette Arial. "Their actions hurt good people and cost time and money. This is an important interpretive site on the Arizona Strip and it deserves to be rebuilt so it can remain for years to come," Taylor said.
Subsequently, a restoration committee decided to build a replica of the Mount Trumbull Schoolhouse. "In partnership with some of the descendants of the first settlers of Mt. Trumbull, the BLM, and contributions from the public," the schoolhouse was re-dedicated on Oct. 13, 2001.
In 2011, a 100-year commemorative event was held at the Mt. Trumbull School house, according to BLM spokesperson Rachel Tueller. One of the highlights of that event occurred when former resident Sally Bundy rang the school bell.
I remember each time I visited the school house, I had a feeling of reverence for this building that has served so many people in so many ways for so many years.

While lightning quick cable internet connections are common in the United States, you may experience slower connection speeds in other countries, Italy included. Wherever you are, it's important to remember that certain conveniences – such as high-speed Internet access – are not always the norm as they would be at home.
Learning to adapt to these slight inconveniences is a necessary part of the study abroad experience. We find that the students who have the most successful experience spend more time out of their apartments enjoying everything Italy has to offer, rather than spending the majority of their free time online.
In the school and in your housing, the Tuscany Campus provides wireless Internet access for academic purposes. Please be aware that downloading music, videos and other large files, making calls on Skype or accessing popular US websites may take much longer.A high-speed Internet connection is offered in the Tuscany Campus building, Residence Hall San Francesco, and students have access to this connection during the Campus's opening hours. In addition, there are several free wi-fi points around town, including the Lazzerini Library.

To make the cups ahead, prepare the filling without the cranberries. Before serving, add the cranberries, fill the shells, and garnish.
You can use chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley instead of the rosemary, and use the parsley leaves for a garnish.
To toast walnuts, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown.

Section 2
An extract from Joseph Smith's history relating the words of the angel Moroni to Joseph Smith the Prophet, while in the house of the Prophet's father at Manchester, New York, on the evening of September 21, 1823. Moroni was the last of a long line of historians who had made the record that is now before the world as the Book of Mormon. (Compare Malachi 4:5–6; also sections 27:9; 110:13–16; and 128:18.)
1, Elijah is to reveal the priesthood; 2–3, The promises of the fathers are planted in the hearts of the children.

"After reading the reviews written by others, I ordered a 1/2 size up thinking the shoes may be too snug. Perhaps those reviewers just have wide feet because I practically lost a bootie in my living room! (I swapped for my usual size) These shoes run very true to size width wise and just a touch long. Very comfy for a heeled shoe and super cute and classy. They'll go with everything in your closet!"

love these riding boots!
"For almost two years now I have been in search of cognac riding boots that are have an overall slim look but are wide enough to zip up over my calves. Granted, I have seen boots that are wider in the calf area, but these fit comfortably over leggings and skinny jeans. Thicker jeans, I'm not too sure, but there is an extender in the top part of the boot which allows for some extra room. I am usually an 8 and I got these in 8.5; it gave me more room in the foot area (to wear them with thicker socks) and also gave me more room in the calf area.These boots are not the traditional orange-hued cognac color, but more of a darker brown (but not really chocolate either). The heel isn't too high either, so you can comfortably walk around in them, although I would not consider them the best walking shoes because they are a little on the heavy side.Overall, they are great and I think my search for cognac riding boots is finally over!"

Reaction Innovations' soft plastics have taken the bass fishing world by storm! The reason for their wild success is obvious when you look at their baits. The plastic is soft and flexible but tough enough to stay up on the hook where you put it. They are loaded with salt for the natural taste a bass needs to hold on longer, and their unique designs are unlike anything else on the market today. But maybe the biggest reason for their success with fishermen and with the fish are the fantastic colors they are able to put into these baits. Noted bass pro and owner of Reaction Innovations, Andre Moore, has the on-the-water experience and bass catching know-how to design the right bait and produce the right colors to consistently catch fish. The 9.50" Big Unit worm is no exception. These worms feature the great colors and the right dimensions to attract fish and get bit. Over half the length of the worm is the tail, with a big curl that translates into plenty of action when you work the bait. If you're looking for a big worm, the Big Unit is here!

The Mizuno Wave Sayonara pushes the envelope in the performance trainer category, providing runners with a fast and lightweight ride.
It's not often a running shoe manufacturer will discontinue one of their more popular offerings, to be replaced by something totally new. It's a bold move, but in the case of Mizuno waving goodbye to the Precision and hello to the Sayonara, it's a move that pays off.
The Wave Sayonara is a light and nimble neutral shoe that craves faster paced running. By using their brand new U4ic midsole compound, Mizuno was able to save significant weight in the Sayonara, making it one of the lightest options in its category.
The ride of the Sayonara is on the firmer side, and those coming from the Precision should be prepared for a bit more ground feel underfoot. Don't mistake that for a lack of cushioning, though, as Mizuno's signature Wave plate absorbs the shock of impact, while the midsole still offers a fair sense of protection.
Up top, a flexible mesh upper provides a performance fit, snuggly wrapping around the foot with seamless overlays holding everything in place. Those looking to pick up the tempo will appreciate the minimal interior stitching. We all know that a single errant stich can be highly aggravating when running at faster paces.
If you're in the market for a performance shoe, the Mizuno Wave Sayonara is sure to deliver. Its lightweight and quick feel makes Mizuno's latest a great choice for tempo runs and racing, or even as an everyday shoe for lighter runners.
"This is definitely a firmer shoe than I'm used to, but after some adjustment I've really come to appreciate the responsive and fast ride."
"The upper fits pretty snug, but it's actually really comfortable with its seamless construction. The secure and confidence-inspiring fit is ideal for fast running."
"Though this is a neutral shoe, the curved shape of the upper seemed to provide enough support through the medial side of the foot for very mild overpronators to wear it as well."

Munster will be the number one seeds in the Heineken Cup quarter-final draw after beating Northampton Saints 51-36 on Saturday.
Munster will be the number one seeds in the Heineken Cup quarter-final draw after beating Northampton 51-36 at stadium:mk on Saturday.
Despite conceding two penalty tries, the two-time champions secured a bonus point to finish the pool stages with an unassailable 25 pool points.
The scores were locked at 19-19 at the break but winger Simon Zebo bagged a second-half hat-trick to help the Irish side maintain their perfect record of six wins from as many starts in Europe this season – the only team to do so.
The result, combined with the Scarlets' win over Castres, means that the Welsh side beat Saints to a place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Munster needed a win to ensure a quarter-final tie on home soil, but they got off to a poor start as they were bullied by a dominant Saints pack.
Ryan Lamb knocked over two early penalties and Northampton assumed control on 13 minutes when referee Roman Poite awarded them a penalty try as the visitors' scrum buckled under pressure.
However, the metronomic Ronan O'Gara kicked kept the scoreboard ticking with a series of three-pointers to narrow the gap before a Lamb drop-goal opened up a seven-point advantage.
Prop BJ Botha powered over from close range for the visitors before the opposing fly-halves traded penalties.
Munster started the second half furiously and tries from Johne Murphy and Zebo put them in charge at 31-19, although another penalty try bought Saints to within five points.
A resulting scuffle saw half-backs Lee Dickson and Connor Murray sin-binned.
O'Gara and Lamb then traded penalties before the visiting fly-half extended their lead with another three-pointer.
Zebo went over twice in the last 10 minutes, although Scott Armstrong scampered across the whitewash for a consolation score.
The scorers:
For Northampton:
Tries: Penalty Try 2, Armstrong
Cons: Lamb 2, Myler
Pens: Lamb 3
Drop: Lamb
For Munster:
Tries: Botha, Murphy, Zebo 3
Cons: O'Gara 3, Keatley
Pens: O'Gara 6

Details are sketchy, but Vitamin Shoppe has extended its planned closing date to March 1.
Mark Brohan
The Federal Trade Commission is investigating the planned acquisition of Super Supplements Inc. by Vitamin Shoppe Inc.
On Dec. 18, The Vitamin Shoppe, No. 201 in the 2012 Internet Retailer Top 500, announced intentions to spend $50 million to buy Super Supplements Inc., a chain and e-retailer of vitamins and related items that operates 31 stores in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Vitamin Shoppe, which says it will pay for the purchase with available cash, says the deal will expand its presence in the Pacific Northwest, where it operates 17 stores.
But in a new filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, Vitamin Shoppe has disclosed that the deal is now under investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Details about the investigation, including what precisely the FTC will look into, are unclear. "The FTC staff conducting the investigation has stated in a letter to the parties that the inquiry will extend beyond Dec. 31, 2012, and has not yet provided any indication as to the likely outcome or ultimate timing of its inquiry," Vitamin Shoppe says.
As a result of the investigation, Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements have extended their planned date for a final deal until March 1. But Vitamin Shoppe also says as of now there is no guarantee of a final deal. "There can be no assurance as to whether and when the transaction will be consummated in light of these developments," Vitamin Shoppe says.
Super Supplements was founded in 1994. If the acquisition is completed, in 2013 the subsidiary will contribute $75 million in revenue, Vitamin Shoppe estimates.

We talkin' bout Flea Market!-
"Living room, bedroom, dinette, we got it, you need it!"
"Can you defeat such style?"
Could it be possible that he activated his Sharingan because it adds so much to his "killer intent"? Killing intent as I see it is basically the physical presence of a person's chakra. Something like, the people who are supposed to be afraid feel the chakra bearing down on them like the air is thicker. If you watch Bleach, I see killer intent in Naruto as what the Shinigami captains do to lower beings, just expel an excess of reiatsu to show they're better.
But I digress. The Kyuubi itself has said that the Sharingan possess a chakra more sinister than its own, so maybe Sasuke activated the Sharingan just to add an extra layer to the malice.
Based on this panel,
He says "Ah, you're an Uchiha. It's impressive that you've grown so much." Which I take to mean as any Uchiha that is strong enough can do what Sasuke is doing at that time.
And here,
The Kyuubi says "The power of a cursed bloodline."
And here it says "That eye power... that chakra more cursed than my own." He could be referring to Sasuke, but since he said it right after talking about the Sharingan, I took it to mean that about the Sharingan.
And I know the anime doesn't really count, but translations are always different, so I figured I'd just throw this in there too.
When did Itachi say Sasuke was as evil as Madara?
well i guess it's really all left up for everyone's interpretation. even kabuto said that sasuke had a demon inside of him which could be taken as his sinister chakra. after all sasuke activates his eyes by channeling his chakra to them so if his eyes are called sinister then that means his chakra is what's sinister since they power his sharingan.
In the first picture, I believe the "demon living inside" is a metaphor for being driven by revenge.
In the second picture, that's just flashbacks mixed in with dialogue, Itachi didn't specifically say Sasuke was as evil as Madara.
But you're right, I suppose it's up to interpretation.
Hold up, this thread is about Kimimaro.. Not Sasuke...
Orochimaru reminds me of Michael Jackson... Hes pale and has long black hair LOL
"Come here Sasuke, I'll show you the true power of the white snake" ROFLMAO

Leo Howard, Star of Disney XD's Kickin' It
Leo Howard from the show Kickin' It talks about his martial arts training, his cast mates on the show, and the antics of his pet bulldog, Bella.
Q: How long have you been studying martial arts?
Leo: Ten years now. I have my black belt in a style called Shorin-Ryu, which is a Japanese martial art. I currently practice like all the extreme martial arts, which is the acrobatic and showman, more like for shows and stuff.
Q: Does the discipline of studying martial arts help you in everyday life?
Leo: It definitely just as a person in life – it taught me respect. It taught me honor. It taught me so many things that I use every single day. So it absolutely helps me in everyday life.
Q: What is your character Jack like?
Leo: Jack is actually really similar to me. I'd like to think he is because he's cool. You know? [Laughter] I'm just kidding. But see Jack is the cool kid of the group. You know, there's the nerdy kid, the uncoordinated kid, but Jack is the cool kid, and he's there to help everybody through. He doesn't have an ego. He's a really, really genuine good guy, and he's always there for the guys to encourage them on and accomplish a task they're trying to get done. Even the jokes and the sense of humor is very my style, so it's very easy for me to kind of drop into the character of Jack because he's so much like myself.
Q: Could you describe your kid co-stars?
Leo: Mateo [Arias who plays Jerry] is goofy. He's funny and actually he's way cooler than you'd think from his character. Dylan [Riley Snyder who plays Milton] is very smart, incredibly funny – like as a person, incredibly hilarious – and believe or not, he has like a gift for karate. He picks it up super, super quickly. They all do, but Dylan's very good at like kicking and high kicks and stuff. They're all funny, but Alex [Jones who plays Eddie] will make you laugh in the classroom just by laughing. He's got just a great laugh and a great smile. He's great at sports and he's also a sports fanatic. He loves talking about football and basketball. And Olivia [Holt who plays Kim], she's cute, funny, and really cool. Also she's really awesome at martial arts and flipping. She picks up all the gymnastics, back handspring stuff, really quickly. And then Jason [Earles who plays Rudy] is just a huge goofball. Jason is way more mature than his character in the show, and he's hysterical. Any time I'm around Jason I have a great time.
Q: Is there somebody special you would love to guest on the show?
Leo: I would love to have Johnny Depp on like a guest star because he's my idol when it comes to that sort of thing. Yea. You know, Jack Sparrow.
Q: What is your most embarrassing moment?
Leo: Hmm. Ok, so we were training one time. This is probably not my most embarrassing moment because I don't really get embarrassed too easily, just because you know I'm goofy and I guess everyone around me accepts that. [Laughter] But I was training one time and I do this crazy flip that I'd been trying to get for a couple months and I land it and everyone goes crazy. Then I walk off the mat and I trip and fall on my face. So it's just random stuff like that. My mom says that I can't walk in a straight line and chew gum because I'm that clumsy.
Q: Yet, you've got a black belt. [Laughter]
Leo: It's true. They say people who can flip or are coordinated are clumsy at the same time. Yea, like gymnasts – they say a lot of gymnasts are super clumsy.
Q: Do you have any pets?
Leo: I do . . .a bulldog named Bella. Every day is a funny story with Bella. She's absolutely bonkers. She's probably the craziest dog I've ever met. She's obsessed with her skateboard and it's to the point where if you literally say the word "skateboard" she knows it and she and start barking. So we have to spell it out around her. We have to say, "s-k-a-t-e-b-o-a-r-d." If I gave it to her all day, she would sit outside playing with it. She chews it more than she rides it, but she still rides it.
Q: What was your childhood obsession?
Leo: Bananas, and I pronounced it "nana." But I was obsessed with that word. It was the first word that I ever learned, and every time I'd see it in a store, I would go, "Nana. Nana!" I would go crazy screaming "nana" and my parents would have to hide the bananas in the house because I would go crazy. I was like a monkey, and they would have to spell it out around me, same like Bella. [Laughter]
For more about Leo Howard and the rest of the Kickin' It cast, watch this behind-the-scenes video from the set.

Madden Girl Leopard Bootie
"This shoe is exactly what I was looking for. . .a low heel leopard print bootie. I love my high heels but I'm ready to start adding low heeled shoes to my shoe collection and this shoe has put me off to a great start. I have wide feet and a size 9.5 was just right with room for thick socks if desired. The only drawback with this shoe is the opening is quite tight. It took a bit of effort to get my foot into the shoe but once past this, the shoe is very comfortable and it gives a little bit around the foot. The elastic panels at the ankle offer comfort as well. They look just like the online picture and will go with jeans or dresses. If this shoe was offered in other colors and textures like black, dark brown and cognac leather, grey suede, black suede, or zebra print (just a thought), I would buy all of them and have my low heel bootie collection completed."

Members of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's administration continue to tour the state promoting Patrick's proposed budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1st. New Secretary of Education Matthew Malone visited Springfield Thursday to speak to local educators about proposed investments in education.
Governor Patrick's budget would increase education spending by over $650 million next year. Secretary Matthew Malone says the spending would focus on early childhood education, local chapter 70 aid, increased classroom time in certain middle schools, and higher education grants. Malone says whether or not the legislature follows through on proposed spending, he thinks all component's of the governor's education plan are priorities.
"One is not more important than the other. They're all intricately linked. They're all about closing achievement gaps and providing opportunity. I say we need to do it all."
Malone argues the proposed spending would help increase graduation rates in western Massachusetts. Graduation rates in the Springfield and Holyoke public school districts rank among the bottom ten districts in the state. Each district graduated slightly over fifty percent of its students last year. Malone says investments in early childhood and elementary education, will help improve those numbers.
"So if we're strategic and thoughtful, which the governor is, in saying our goal is reading proficiency by the end of third grade, we do that right, that's going to increase graduation rates for the next ten years on."
Patrick's budget is now before the legislature. Both the house and senate will produce budget proposals of their own in the coming months.
