As I expected, Obito is not that weak. He never intended to kill Kakashi, just to convert him through despair/hopelessness, If Obito had really wanted to kill Kakashi, he'd have used his Mokuton.
So now, If Obito can truly/really control the Juubi's power as its Jinchuuriki, then He'll end up fighting everyone, by himself (Except Madara who will probably just relax and watch the show).
Obito doesn't care about anything else besides his Moon's Eye Plan, he'll even leave everybody alive and unhurt, if they don't interfere with his Obsession.

On a trip to Hurricane High and then an appearance in the annual Snow Canyon softball tournament, the Lady Spartans are satisfied that they have made progress as a team in this young season. The Spartans went 4-2 against good competition and are now ready to start region play this week.
Last Thursday, Emery started the trip with a game at Hurricane against the always-tough Tigers. Emery defeated Hurricane 19-2 after a 14-run sixth inning. Emery then defeated Rowland Hall, a private Salt Lake school 17-0. Canyon View then snuck by Emery 2-0 in a game that ended at just after midnight. Emery then defeated a good Wasatch team 9-3. Emery's next opponent was Carbon and Emery came away with a 5-3 win. Emery's last opponent was Bountiful High School. Emery played the Braves tough through three innings and then errors led to a 12-2 win.
Emery started the week with a 10-0 defeat of North Sevier. In a game that turned into a home game rather than the scheduled road game due to field conditions in Salina, Emery controlled the game from the beginning and came away with the easy preseason victory. Andi Smith, in just her second start as a high school player, pitched a no-hitter. Smith struck out 11 batters and gave up just one fourth-inning walk.
Makia Sherman led the Spartans with two hits in three at-bats and drove in four runs. Her hits included a double. Michelle Oliver went three for three and Gabby Guymon went two for three with a double included. Emery's defense committed no errors in the game.
At Hurricane, Emery scored first with two runs in the second inning and led 5-2 before the big inning that ended the game. McKenzie Grange went three for four batting with two doubles and had three RBIs. Markette Tanner went four for five in the game with one hit a double and Tanner also had three RBIs. Oliver also went three for four and had a pair of RBIs. Guymon was three for three and Sherman was three for six in the game with all three singles coming in the sixth inning. Danavin Reid only had one base hit but she drove in five runs. Emery committed no errors in this game while scoring 19 runs on 17 hits. Smith got the win for Emery.
Whitney Roper started on the mound against Rowland Hall and pitched a four-inning no-hit shutout perfect game. Roper struck out nine of the 12 batters she faced. Sherman, Tanner, Shelby Mason, Guymon, Abbie Kay and Roper all had multiple hits in the shortened game. After leading 8-0, Emery scored nine runs in the fourth inning and left the bases full.
Smith returned to the mound against Canyon View and pitched five strong innings. Canyon View scored two runs and had three base hits in the game. Three Emery errors allowed the two runs to score. Emery's only hit in the game was a Grange single in the fifth inning.
In the final game of the day, Smith gave up three runs, five base hits and struck out five batters in picking up a win against Wasatch. Emery scored in every inning with Tanner leading the offense with three hits and three RBIs. One hit was a double. Sherman also had a double in the game as eight Emery batters got base hits.
On Saturday against Carbon, the Dinos took the first lead at 1-0 in the second inning and added two more runs in the fourth inning to lead 3-0. Emery scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and then added another run in the fifth inning. Smith struck out six batters in getting the win and none of the runs that scored were earned runs. Three Carbon errors, a pair of walks and three base hits led to the Emery runs. Picking up base hits in the game were Oliver, Roper and Jennings.
In the final outing of the week, Emery and Bountiful battled to a 2-2 tie through three innings before seven base hits and two Emery errors plus several mental errors led to the 10 runs for the Braves. Although Emery gave up 12 runs in the game, only two of those runs were earned meaning that errors did not lead to them.
In seven games last week, Emery outscored the opposition 62-22. Out of the 22 runs given up, only four of those were earned. Guymon and Oliver led Emery with 10 base hits each for the week. In the seven games, Guymon is batting .556 and Oliver .526. Tanner is batting .474 and Grange is batting .421. Roper in three games is batting .833.

Room 5: Symbolism / The Nabis
The paintings in this room span four decades and fall into two related groups. The Symbolists—such as Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon—explored mythology, philosophy and dreams. Puvis' The poor fisherman was much admired when shown in 1881. Its large size elevates the plight of the poor to the scale of fresco painting. Redon's dreaming figures and strange hybrid creatures capture a sense of other-worldliness.
The second group, led by Paul Sérusier, were a collection of disaffected art students—including Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis and Edouard Vuillard—who called themselves the Nabis (the name is based on the Hebrew and Arabic words for 'prophet'). As well as artistic interests, the Nabis were drawn together by idealist philosophies and Symbolist literature.
Some works, such as Sérusier's The talisman, adopt Paul Gauguin's style in the use of unmodulated colour and simplification of forms. Other works share the sombre colours and reduced palette of Puvis' paintings, but are more intimate in scale. Jewel-like domestic interiors and portraits capture vignettes of everyday life and celebrate ties of friendship and family between the artists.

So So
I also wonder whether Kishimoto had this outcome all along, or whether he had to change EVERYTHING when he decided to Make TOBI = OBITO instead of Madara.
Personally I am inclined to think he Changed the ending he originally had. Guess we'll see how this goes from here on.
I have begun enjoying the Manga again after feeling that TOBI = Obito was a bad idea.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
On the other hand, Sasuke is now in a position to capitalize on whatever Orochimaru was scheming. And while Sasuke is questioning himself, Itachi, the village, etc... he still hasn't exactly given up his hatred. Just because he wants to understand his situation doesn't mean that he'll see it the same way as Naruto. Imagine if the Ninja War ends, but the Shinobi system is still in place. If Sasuke arrived at the conclusion that the only way to provide justice for the world / his clan is to wipe out the corrupt Shinobi system (which necessarily entails destroying it completely), he may continue his plans.
Kishi will find some way to make Naruto and Sasuke fight, and it'll be the climax of the series, far greater than this skirmish with Obito/Madara.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
How about Sasuke meets with this 'person who knows everything' and the person gives him the So6P Staff (the one where he has when he is shown fighting the Jyuubi with the orb on top):
That would be a bit of a game changer, and with it someone could take control of this war making Sigetsu's comment pretty relevent.
i think sasuke and naruto will have their fight, but no to kill each other but to re-validate their friendship or regain trust in each other....
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
I think they only trump card Sasuke would have is just that he is the last of the true Uchiha and could take control of the Bijuu from Madara. Kakashi and Obito only have 1 eye and so does Madara so unless someones gonna give one up, Sasuke is the only one with 2 and we all know 2 Sharingan are better than one lol
A pie in the sky?
I'm perplexed.
Isn't the Juubi's eye an amalgamation of the Rinnegan/Sharigan because he is being controlled by Obito with his Sharigan/Rinnegan combo? Ala how the kyubi's eyes were Sharigan when it was being controlled by one-eyed Sharigan Obito).
Am I the one who is wrong on this? It seemed pretty obvious..
Also the man-who-knows-everything is either sotsp or madara's brother.

Is Ralph Krueger yelling, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls are you ready?"
After 288 days that included watching other teams compete for the Stanley Cup, drafting Nail Yakupov, winning the Justin Schultz sweepstakes, being frustrated by another lockout and being teased by the success of Schultz, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall in the American League, the Oilers will finally play another meaningful NHL game, and Krueger will step behind the bench for the first time with the title of head coach.
All those factors, along with being the last fan base in the NHL to see their team play, have pushed the excitement level in OilersNation off the charts. Even the most pessimistic fan can't wait to see if Ralph Krueger's new system will generate more victories and a spot in the post-season for the first time in seven years.
Oiler fans are dying to cheer for a winner. Since the glorious, stunning and surprising Cup run of 2006 Oiler fans have had to watch their team lose 297 times. You've watched 492 Oiler games since the start of the 2006/2007 season and you've only seen 195 victories.
I'm amazed many of you still have the intestinal fortitude to buy tickets, or go the places like The Pint off Whyte, Pint Downtown or On The Rocks to watch a game or just sit at home and spend countless hours yelling at the TV. I tip my hat to your dedication.
God bless your loyalty and ability to continue cheering for the Oilers. Your devotion might finally pay off this season. I guarantee the Oilers will be better than last season. I know that's not saying much considering they were 29th, but it's true.
The important question is how good can they be? We won't know for a few months, but this season should be the most exciting regular season in a long time.
Krueger has used these four lines since day one of training camp, and he's expecting all of them to contribute. The Oilers might finally have two legitimate scoring lines, and if they top-six produce like many expect they should, then everyone else's job becomes easier.
N.Schultz- J.Schultz
I'm very surprised Mark Fistric isn't dressed tonight, but I expect he'll be in the lineup soon. The Oilers can't expect to win with only one physical D-man. And please, don't say Detroit did it because they didn't. Kronwall and Stuart are two of the best open-ice hitters in the game. I assume that Krueger wants more puck movers against the Canucks, but will add Fistric against a group of big forwards like San Jose and LA. That's just a guess though.
Cory Schneider was brutal last night for Vancouver, giving up five goals on 14 shots. The Canucks defensive and neutral zone coverage was horrendous as well, but Schneider needed to make some stops. Dubnyk can't afford a start like that. Dubnyk is extremely confident and told me that he's aware of all the critics and would love nothing more than to prove them wrong.
Reports out of Vancouver mentioned that Alain Vigneault planned to start Schneider v. the Ducks and Roberto Luongo v. the Oilers. Will he stick with that, or does he want to get Schneider back in the pipes ASAP. Vigneault is in a tough spot. If he starts Luongo and he plays well, then what. If he starts Schneider and he gets blown out again, then what?
I love goaltending controversies...It will be very interesting to see what Vigneault does, and if that decision was correct.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Canucks will be fired up after last night's 7-3 spanking by the Ducks, but the Oilers youth will be just as amped up to play. "I expect our guys to be revved right up. Their excitement is rubbing off on me. I don't think I've ever been this excited for the first game of the season," Nick Schultz told me on Friday. Expect lots of offence and the Oilers win 5-4.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Justin Schultz scores the Oilers first goal, on the powerplay on a nice pass from Nugent-Hopkins. Instantly fans believe is the chosen one and Wanye starts plans for a Schultz photoshop contest.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Eric Belanger scores in the second period on a nifty feed from Ben Eager. For a brief moment OIler fans sit in silence, unsure of what they've seen, but seconds later they'll be delirious with excitement about the possibility of having a fourth line that can contribute.

And @Snowdropper...
I've been playing it in my head for months... long anticipatory months...
Lol, so have I. Let's hope we hear it a lot more this season than the last!

...that sound my friends is the sound of a most deservedly long silence after the excruciating lockout where the best troll ever to come to this site took great pleasure making us all nuts at times and who is now girding up his canuck loins so as to jump ship and make squishy noises about his newfound two man love crush in Minnesota...
who'da seen that coming?
Exactly. hat a troll he is. February 21, Wild v Oilers. I can't wait

Jay Feaster has my childhood haircut and the ability to talk junk. One we knew about, but the other is just pure fun.
I couldn't make this up if I tried. In an article entitled JAY FEASTER ANSWERS QUESTIONS FROM FANS J-Fea lays down the law on Edmonton Oiler management:
"I'm sorry — Edmonton finished where last year, caller? Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton this year? I'm tired of this question, I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. You know what? I look forward to the Battle of Alberta for the next X number of years. If the idea is, 'Burn it to the ground,' then Ken can find another manager to do it."
The original article is here.
Wow! I love it! Calling out another organization as Jay Feaster has done here is unusual for any North American sport and extremely rare for the NHL. The best part for Oiler fans?
The response.
Surely the Edmonton Oilers will be quick to address weakness, whether it be in goal, the blueline or elsewhere in an effort to make JayFea eat his words? Right? I mean you've been called out by your provincial rival. Another top 5 pick next summer hardly seems worth it. Let's get to work on that goaltending, shall we? Jay Feaster has provided the inspiration, and my bet is that the Edmonton Oilers will respond with a lot of perspiration.
September 04 2011, 10:58PM
Feaster is treading water and trying to make it sound as if he's a dolphin. Atta boy, Flipper!
"I prefer to just miss the playoffs than be a lotto team to be honest ."
Not me, not during a rebuild. Both teams seasons end at the same time, but for the lotto team, Christmas comes early.
Late to the party.
Short term pain, long term gain.
Unless Flames make bold moves, they are destined to experience the slow leak... with the goal to try to make the playoffs and hope for the best.
Been there.
September 06 2011, 11:50AM
Although it's pretty difficult to divine Feaster's tone of voice in a written transcript, it's pretty clear he's had LOTS of questions about going the Penguins/Hawks/Oilers tear-it-down rebuild method and was feeling frustrated by it. Or maybe he's just naturally snarky.
Whatever – his drive-by snipe on the Oilers probably need not draw too much of our attention.
The fact is, I could care less about Jay Feaster's philosophy on team rebuilds … or the price of tea in China, for that matter.
The truth is, the goings-on of the Calgary Flames just aren't worth the trouble. As we saw with the vandalism on the all-in-fun sign outside of McMahon Stadium, there's just no point in engaging Calgarians in sports talk anymore. It's tiresome.
If Feaster figures the better method is to go out and sign free agents and make big trades, then so be it. And if he makes it work, good on him. What he's gotta realize – and I'm sure he cares not a whit about – is that the trade-and-free-agent method didn't work in Edmonton. That's why the teardown-and-rebuild method is in full swing in Edmonton. It was really the only play we had left in the playbook.
But if Feaster figures he make sign-and-trade work in Calgary – a city whose warts are barely distinguishable from Edmonton's in the eyes of many NHLers – then God bless him. But surely he must realize that he can make no claims on the merits of his philosophy in the here and now. His team missed the playoffs last year.
I'm sure that Feaster realizes that rebuilding with kids through the draft is a philosophy that's been around far longer than the current Penguins and Blackhawks have. The Islanders built through the draft. So did those strong Avalanche teams of the 1990s (thanks to the Nords' three No. 1 picks in a row). The Red Wings' core of the last 20 years was one developed by the draft. And, as we all know, the core group of the dynasty-era Oilers were drafted.
If Jay wishes to ignore all that, then nothing can be done for him. By opting out of that, he's just not credible.
And that, dear Flames fans, should make you shudder.

Here I go again...well since agabomba asked me I kind of started on this but there was no point in half assing it so here goes. I will make updates to this later on.
No way Yahiko was much younger when he died they where all still kids more or less about 16-18. Though I know it was mentioned by one of the Leaf ninja that Pain's God realm looked to be in his mid 30's which seems odd knowing his a corpse.
It must mean that Nagato was able to grow/age Yahiko's dead body. Which kind of makes sense if you think about it because if Pains where all corpses their bodies would rot and look like zombies. I think the Pain bodies do age but this is slowed down by Nagato's Revive/Repair jutsu.
So to put it in a time line roughly speaking
*Time line is based on present time and going back
* "?" means the age is estimated but is unknown.
-63 Years: Hashirama(28?) & Madara(28?) create the Leaf village // (Tobirama 25?), (Toka Senju 27)// (Sarutobi 8)

Zabuza(20) meets Haku(9) and leaves the Mist and becomes a mercenary.
-8 Years: Itachi(13) becomes an ANBU Captain
Shisui(19?) commits suicide and gives his eye to Itachi.
Itachi carries out the Uchiha clan massacre then leaves and Joins Akatsuki
Orchimaru(46) leaves Akatsuki
*Hanzou's age is just a rough guess
*This means roughly speaking Minato is about the same age group as Chouza, Shibi, Inochi and Shikaku and would be about 37 if alive today.
*The hard part is nailing Minato's age but I think he was fairly young
The exact end date of the 1st ninja war is a really rough guess but the 2nd and 3rd can be more easily estimated from details in he story.
Interesting note about the ninja wars: (based on my estimates)
1st Ninja War = Lasted 13 Years
13 years of Peace
2nd Ninja War = Lasted 11 years
4 years of peace
3rd Ninja war = Lasted 5 years
17 years of peace
4th Ninja War
What you will notice is that while the 1st and 2nd Ninja wars where longer than the 3rd the real big difference is the amount of peace in between. There was a fairly decent era of peace between the 1st and 2nd ninja War where the villages had plenty of time to recuperate their losses.
However the 2nd Ninja war was probably one of the most brutal which is why so many of Tsuandes classmates died as well as being the longest war. The gap between the 2nd and 3rd Ninja war was very short thats why at the beginning of Kakashi Gaiden it mentioned that the Leaf was suffering from severe lack of shinobi. There was not enough time for the villages to recoup their losses so the 3rd Ninja war ended quickly.

In this article I want to talk about three great virtualization software for your desktop computer.
Why virtualize?
The current computers have faster CPUs and more RAM compared to those of 3 or 4 years ago. There is more ability to run a second operating system in parallel to your main operating system. But why do it?
- To have another operating system (Windows, Linux or other)
- For testing a new distribution
- To prepare an environment dedicated to a product. For example, I installed a virtual machine with apache + mysql + everything I need for running a local a copy of my WordPress site
The three products that I will install and analyze on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine are:
- VMware Player
- VirtualBox (OSE)
For each of them i will consider a score of 1 to 3 for:
- Ease of Installation
- Administrative Tools
- Features (license included).
- Virtual appliances available

Good afternoon, and welcome to the Acura Press Conference. This is a great turnout, and I want to thank you all for coming. As you just saw, Acura has come a long way in 20 years and it's been very exciting. But I assure you...the best is yet to come.
As we enter our third decade in America, I'm proud to say that our products and performance have never been better. Last year we had a huge year! In fact a record year. In 2005, Acura sold nearly 210,000 units. That's the strongest sales performance in the history of our brand. This clearly places Acura as one of the leading performance luxury brands in the United States.
In 2005, we had record sales for RL, TL, and TSX,. We've certainly have come a long way from that prediction you just saw in that clip from the Today show... when many people in our industry did not believe that any Japanese manufacturer could create a successful luxury line. Our record sales helped our Acura dealer body realize one of their strongest years ever, as well. We built our success last year by doing what we do best- bringing products to market that are forward-thinking and ahead of the competition. Our stronghold has been, and will continue to be, technology: Customer relevant technology that provides real benefits to Acura owners and enriches their driving experience.
For example, the Acura RL was the first vehicle in North America equipped with the real-time traffic system. It's not just some gadget, it is useful technology. When you can avoid a traffic jam, you save time, and have more free time outside of your car. It's another example, in a long list of ways, that Acura vehicles are enhancing the driving experience. Acura technologies are also ensuring that our customers are driving some of the safest vehicles on the road today. Take, for example, Acura's collision mitigation braking system featured on the Acura RL. A grille-mounted radar measures the distance between RL and the car in front of it, and automatically applies the brakes, if it detects an impending rear-end collision. It's offered as part of the technology package on RL that includes adaptive cruise control and run-flat tires.
For the past 20 years, Acura's innovation has resulted in many industry firsts; including all-aluminum unit body construction, titanium connecting rods, in-dash navigation system, DVD-Audio, and more ... We were also the first luxury import to produce a U.S designed, engineered, and manufactured vehicle. And as I said earlier...the best is yet to come. And speaking of the future... Well, why tell you, when I can show you...
Well, here it is...the all new Acura RDX! We saw a growing need in the market - the need for a premium entry SUV especially designed to meet the diverse needs of today's urban warrior.
According to industry forecasts, this segment will grow over 500% in the next 5 years. And RDX is positioned right in the sweet spot of this segment with its unmatched combination of performance and design.
It combines the sportiness, power, and fun-to-drive aspect of a sports sedan...with the functionality of a SUV. We first introduced the RDX concept in 2002...and last year, we showed you a concept much closer to the real vehicle...today you see a prototype vehicle that's "near production."
RDX is an Urban Adventure Vehicle...a new SUV that expands the Acura lineup, and will attract a younger, more active buyer to the brand. RDX is smaller than the MDX, and compares in size to the BMW X3. I mentioned earlier that advanced technology-technology that really matters to people-is a key part of Acura's DNA-and RDX is an excellent example of this.
RDX performance begins with Acura's first turbocharged engine...a 2.3-liter, 4-cylinder. This revolutionary i-VTEC Turbo technology is exclusive to Acura. As you would expect from Acura, this turbocharger is something pretty special. It delivers excellent fuel economy without compromising performance....generating 240 horsepower with 260 lbs-ft of torque. That's better than many V-6 powered SUVs. RDX is also equipped with Acura's Super Handling All-wheel drive system. We have re-tuned and re-configured this system specifically for RDX... to emphasize torque management, both front-to-rear, and side-to-side.
This groundbreaking technology, which is an Acura exclusive, dramatically enhances handling and stability during sporty driving as well as in inclement weather. Built on an all-new, global light truck platform, with the energy dispersing ACE body structure, RDX also uses Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist for enhanced handling. As attractive as RDX is outside, it impresses even more when you step inside the cabin.
To begin with, RDX features the Acura-link-equipped navigation with real-time traffic...and the ELS DVD-Audio surround sound system. Operating these systems is as simple as touching a button. RDX features steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. This "racerlike" shifting interface sends an instant message that RDX delivers the sporty performance drivers in this segment expect.
Functionality for an urban street vehicle means offering comfortable seating-- and plenty of storage. RDX has plenty of both...Take a look at the secure compartment right in the center console...perfect storage for an urban warrior's weapon...their laptop computer. And for the weekend, the rear seats fold flat, providing ample cargo space. You can store two mountain bikes in here, for example.
OK...that's a quick look at RDX. It will be manufactured in Marysville Ohio, and go on sale this summer. And, we have high expectations for this very exciting vehicle...But this is just the beginning for Acura in 2006. We are excited about what is coming down the pipeline this next year, as we continue to deliver more technological advances that will enrich the driving experience. Our committment to building Acura in the US for the past 20 years brings us to the present, where I would like to talk about Acura's global future.
As we announced yesterday, later this year, Acura will launch in China, and in 2008 we will launch in Japan. Acura is taking another bold step by opening a new Acura design studio in early 2007. All of us at Acura are very excited to take these next steps in becoming a global luxury brand. As you've seen today ...Acura will continue to drive ahead for many years to come. I would like to thank you all for your time and attention this afternoon...and invite you to please come to the stage for a closer look at the all-new Acura RDX.
Thank you.

As one of the most striking rock formations, Hong Archipelago is a composition of 12 islets that vertically stretching from the North to the South of Krabi sea, near Phang Nga province. The islands are blessed by its shady silhouettes and Mother Nature's charm, though they feature only a few reachable beaches and an overnight stay is not permitted. The highlight is a large lagoon embraced by surrounding mountains at the archipelago's main island.
The best time to pay a visit is during November-April when you can try kayaking for sightseeing nearby attractions. The kayak route usually starts on the beach close to National Park Ranger Station (rental spot), then sail by the majestic limestone cliff and head to the lagoon at the opposite end of the island.

Most Multifamily/Commercial Lenders Expect Higher Volumes: MBA
Top multifamily and commercial lenders generally are optimistic about their individual production growth but expect loan risk to increase and loan return to moderate, the Mortgage Bankers Association finds.
Ninety-one percent of these lenders expect origination to grow in 2014 and 48% anticipate an overall increase at least 5%. Sixty-four percent of individual companies forecast their own volumes will jump 5% or more.
�Commercial and multifamily lenders anticipate a market in which lending continues to grow and their firm gets a bigger piece of the pie,� said Jamie Woodwell, MBA�s VP for commercial real estate research in a press release Wednesday. �Borrowers� appetites to take out new loans are expected to remain strong, but perhaps drop a bit from 2013 levels. The resulting competition to lend leads originators to expect loan risk to increase marginally in the face of moderating returns.�
Sixty-five percent of respondents anticipate a �very strong� appetite among firms to make loans and 23% anticipate a �very strong� appetite among borrowers to take out loans, the survey finds.
The percentage of respondents that forecast �medium� to �somewhat high� loan risk for this year is 89%, in contrast to 2013 when 88% of respondents characterized their loans as having �medium� to �somewhat low risk.�
Seventy-four percent expect loans to be �medium� return this year. Just 50% characterized their loans as �medium� return last year.
A majority of respondents expect originations for commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial banks and life companies and pension funds to increase, and for originations for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA to decrease, according to the MBA.

Common Council
Chambers renamed
Mequon - The Mequon Common Council on Tuesday approved renaming the City Hall's Council Chambers to Christine Nuernberg Hall, in honor of the former mayor.
Nuernberg is the longest serving mayor of the city, having served 12 years.
Shorewood secretaries
wages increasing
Shorewood - The salaries of Shorewood School District secretaries will increase by 2 percent for the 2012-13 school year.
The School Board on Tuesday approved the increase, as recommended by the Human Resources Committee.
The increase will be effective retroactively to July 1, 2012. The total compensation package being offered to the group represents a 7.42 percent decrease in pay and benefits, due to employees moving to a 12.6 percent health premium share and paying half of their Wisconsin Retirement System contributions.
Council approves phase two
of County Line Road
Mequon - The Mequon Common Council on Tuesday approved phase two of the County Line Road reconstruction project, a project that is in partnership with the city of Milwaukee.
Phase one included the western mile from Wasaukee Road to Granville Road, and phase two is the next mile from Granville Road to Swan Road with a 30-foot road width. The cost of phase two is $375,000.
The council will be re-approached for phase three of the project between Swan Road and one-half mile east of Wauwatosa Road. Staff and council members are anticipating design challenges and property owner concerns once phase three moves forward. There were no residential concerns for phase two.
Each phase is approved individually by the Common Council.
Civic Foundation accepting
scholarship applications
Whitefish Bay - The Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation is accepting applications for its annual scholarship.
All graduating, resident Whitefish Bay students planning to attend college are eligible for the $1,000 award. Applications must be postmarked by April 2.
More information is available at wfbcivicfoundation.org.
District sets calendar
for 2013-14 school year
Shorewood - The Shorewood School District now has a calendar in place for the 2013-14 school year.
The School Board on Tuesday approved the calendar as recommended, although board members expressed concerns with regard to setting spring break for the upcoming school year and in future years.
Spring break next year will begin March 31, with school resuming on April 7. Superintendent Martin Lexmond said the break coincides with the end of the third quarter, which seemed to be the most logical time for a break, from an educational standpoint.
Board member David Cobb suggested that it would be more ideal to align the break with that of Milwaukee Public Schools, in order to prevent hardship for parents who may have children attending schools in MPS as well as Shorewood.
"No matter how you land spring break, you create hardship for someone," Lexmond noted.
Board member Ruth Treisman recalled that last year the board committed to having spring break fall during the last week of March, with the intention that all North Shore school districts over the course of the next three years eventually would be planning their spring breaks during the same week.
Business Services Director Mark Boehlke said it was his intention to fulfill that commitment by beginning spring break on the last Monday of March.
Board members agreed that spring break should consistently be set during the last week of March for future school year calendars. Board member Colin Plese also suggested that the board begin planning calendars two years in advance, in order to give parents and staff more time to plan.
The 2013-14 calendar dates also includes a start date of Sept. 3, with the last day of school falling on June 12. Winter break would begin on Dec. 23, with school resuming Jan. 2. The calendar complies with Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction requirements.
Bayside welcomes
two new employees
Bayside - The village of Bayside has hired two new employees: Rebecca VanRegenmorter and Daniel Driscoll.
VanRegenmorter will serve as a management assistant, where she will be responsible for assisting with human resources, payroll and accounting functions, election administration, implementing the village's five strategic values, and compiling and analyzing the village's performance measurement metrics.
Originally from Michigan, she comes to Bayside from Washington, D.C., where she worked for the International City/County Management Association.
Driscoll has been appointed as the Bayside Communications Center Director, which serves all seven North Shore communities and the North Shore Fire Department. He is retired after 27 years with the U.S. Navy, most recently serving as captain, serving overseas as well as in administrative capacities in Washington, D.C.
City officials approve two
special gathering permits
Glendale - The Glendale Common Council on Monday approved two special gathering permits. Organizations and businesses are required to take out the permit when a large-scale event is planned.
The council granted a permit to St. John's Lutheran Church, 7877 N. Port Washington Road, which is holding its ninth annual dinner auction from 5 to 11 p.m. Feb. 23. Church officials anticipate about 200 people attending the event.
A permit also was granted to the St. Francis Children's Center, 6700 N. Port Washington Road, which will hold its annual fundraising event from 7 to 10 p.m. March 23. About 400 people are expected to take part in the event.
Glendale's special gathering permit is $10. If applicable, an additional $200 also is required for auxiliary police services.
Supplemental retirement plan offered to employees
Glendale - Employees of the city of Glendale will have an opportunity to participate in a Wisconsin Deferred Compensation program as a means of supplementing an existing retirement plan.
The city will not contribute any funds as part of its participation in the program, which was approved Monday by the Common Council.
"There have been several requests by employees to offer (the program) as an alternative," Rachel Reiss, director of human resources, wrote in a memo. "This plan is known to have lower fees and higher returns."
City firm for sanitary
sewer rehab work
Glendale - The Glendale Common Council on Monday voted to pay Madison-based Terra Engineering and Construction Corporation $347,341 for work the firm completed on the city's sanitary sewer rehabilitation project in areas throughout the city.
Terra's initial contract with the city carried a $429,958 price tag, and $1,471 was later added, bringing the total contract cost to $431,429.
The amount approved Monday by the council reflects the value of the work that has been completed to date.

One of the things Oilers fans are waiting for this spring is official word on college defenseman Jeff Petry. Rumor has it the young Michigan State star may turn pro although the usual sources are waiting along with the rest of us.
Petry has been the subject of glowing reviews from the Oilers management group over the last while and he might be able to help the big club right away (giving Taylor Chorney a rest might be a plan). Should Petry decide to stay another year in college, we'll need to discuss signability and the possibility of trade.
We wait.

Tammy Mahon named Athlete of the Half-CenturyWINNIPEG (December 7, 2012) – Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man., who recently retired from Canada's national women's volleyball team was named Manitoba's Female High School Athlete of the Half-Century.
The Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year (1962-2012).
Mahon beat out three other finalists including Team Canada women's hockey player Sami Jo Small.
While in high school, Mahon didn't only excel in volleyball, where she was a provincial champion and all star but was also a star in track and field. She competed in the high jump and still holds the record in both the junior varsity (1.75m) and varsity girls (1.76m). She won the provincial high jump championship four years in a row.
She also played basketball, winning the "A" girl's provincials in 1998 and being named MVP. That same year she was also named basketball player of the year.
As her graduation approached in grade 12, she had to make the decision to either focus on the high jump in university, or play university level volleyball or basketball.
She ultimately chose to play volleyball at the University of Manitoba. She contributed to back-to-back CIS Championships for the Bisons. When she graduated in 2003, she was named the Female Athlete of the Year for all Bisons sports. Mahon was inducted into the Manitoba High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. She played professionally in Europe for a number of years, and retired from the national team earlier this year after nine seasons.
Rick Watts of Winnipeg was named Manitoba's Male High School Athletes of the Half-Century. He excelled in three sports including volleyball . He beat out two volleyball national team members: Garth Pischke of Winnipeg, a former player and coach for Team Canada and current national team member Toon Van Lankvelt from River, Man.

Project Genesis
It is November 1st, I'm in shock, the holiday count down officially begins... Yikes! I have good intentions, I start the New Year off well. I tucked a few things away or at least grabbed, all the holiday paper, cards, etc when marked down. I add to my holiday shopping throughout the year, til summer arrives, then I get swept away. It is that time of year again; I need to get my list and game plan figured out. My family usually changes their minds. I want this, that and then it changes...so I hold off a bit to see what is the big ticket item; what they want most.
My post today is going to be about saving $ decorating for Thanksgiving. Prices are going up, gas, food and I'm sure that means airfare, too. Today, I;m going to show you green ways, to use what you have on hand to create an unique holiday setting. Suzan of Old Grey Mare started this project; I love how practical all of the tips have been. You can check out her site and join in. It is the lst day of each month or go back and glance at the posts.
It is time to think of November's beauty, as Fall continues it's display(at least here in the south). We can always be inspired by nature, pine cones, dried fruit, herbs, spices, leaves. etc.
I love setting the table, I'm didn't officially do it, but I want to give you ideas. I love potpourri, you know after you have it for a while, it needs to be freshened up. You can buy essential oils or a blended one in a candle type store or some department store. Add a few drops, mix in a bowl or ziplock bag and you have that amazing scent. Me, I didn't have any blended oils, left. I decided why not use my orange spice tea.
What to cover the table with, I have in reality only 2 maybe 3 table cloths. I found a vintage top sheet at thrift shop that could work ,then add another layer on top. I even thought about using this coffee burlap bag in the center of the table. I have used painter's drop cloth, unused on my table, it is an oatmeal type color for a back drop. Anything goes, as long as you like it~
Here you can see the burlap bag, off to the left a table cloth, the top sheet, on the right a huge curtain.
Try different items to see what works for your style.
I decorated cookie cutters for a fall look, but you could use this as they are for napkin rings.
Here is a vintage tea towel, with apples on it. I love these, I use them to wash my fruits and veggies, but I thought how fun as a napkin. Here is a tiny grapevine wreath with raffia and some star anise. Or you could do this:
Here I just glued some burlap type ribbon and added
a stuffed bird and some velvet leaves. OR
paper turkey and the waffle ice cream cone cornucopias. The children love to be part of making something that adds a special touch to the table. When I was young, Thanksgiving was so big, we had two tables one for the adults; one for the children. Later the tables were connected.
It is a great way to recycle your Halloween pumpkin. I just put him outside, so the cool air, with keep him around til Thanksgiving.
I thought about making either place cards with photo memories or a Family tree. Take some branches and arrange in a vase and make leaves with photos of family that are no longer with us or unable to attend our holiday. It is a great way to reflect on family and special friends, who are extensions of our family. It will add to the conversation...remember when Uncle Al did _______.
I used a wine cork and cut a slit in it. Then added a little gift, I made out of my grandparents photo.
OR you could write place setting name tags and make it fancy.
Here are some links you might like: Newspaper leaves(I might do this one, so pretty)
Maple leaf roses(gorgeous, so want to try this one, too)
Twelve ways to have a Green Thanksgiving; I know one of these will
shock you. It did me...but it is a good idea.

These are all fabulously eye-catching and wonderful, Ellie! I LOVE the cornucopia BIG-TIME.......also love the look of your site with the header and background...........the placecards with the photo of your grandparents are awesome, what a heartwarming idea for family gatherings, especially to honor those no longer here. Some fabulously creative ideas. Just wonderful!

Lots of great ideas here. Thanksgiving is such a big holiday for the USA and it could certainly get pretty pricey, especially with Christmas following right behind. These would be real money-savers!

This is a great post, Ellie...everything looks wonderful the way you've pulled it all together! I love the special touches..your little red cardinal, those great apple cloths..and the family photo place cards are just brilliant. I'm inspired to try a few of these ideas myself..thank you...:)

Lynette-Thank you; It was fun, to pull together.
I tend to be more home spun for Thanksgiving. The razzle dazzle stuff for me is more Christmas n' New Years. We have a small gathering for Thanksgiving; Thanks for visiting me!
Dezmond-You can dehydrated them or slow cook them in an oven. I found the idea here:
There are several ways to do this, as you will read. I did the dehydrated method, but I may try this on a damp, rainy day(tomorrow)
Hi Jillayne-It does add up; I always try to have cloth napkins, paper too. You could go more elegant to. I have used pearl bracelets or beaded ones for napkin rings. The elastic ones, you can wrap around the cloth, it amps up the style. Thank you for stopping by~
Sherry-We have had photos around, but I really think I might try the tree this year. It means more for the family to see the relatives, not just hear the stories. Thank you!
Colette-Nothing like those spices to awaken the senses and those memories!
Suzan-You are funny; Oh, there is plenty still floating around. I didn't get into the Depression ware, passed down from my great mother. The pink is my favorite~ lol
Hi Olive-Congrats, that is wonderful; Well Done! Thank you!
Hi Erin-Thank you, I used it for another post, but I love seeing my parents so young~

thanks, Ella, I shall try that :)

Color was not what I wanted
"When I received my shoes, they fit great and the design was good too. But from the image online, I didn't know that the color was consistent throughout. It's not drastic, just some places were very slightly darker than others which isn't the look that I wanted."

When thinking of activities that can be enjoyed by the whole family, one that is always mentioned is camping. Without a doubt, it exudes fun in ways more than one. There is an endless selection of campsites that you can explore, each with a unique promise. To make the most out of your trip, make sure to take into account the things that will be mentioned in the rest of this post. With these things, you can be sure that every camping trip will be memorable, an opportunity to create new memories.
Before I discuss the essential considerations for a family camping trip, let us first take a look at why it can be beneficial.
- It is a great way to bond with each other. This is perhaps the most important benefit of camping. It is going to be an opportunity to have fun and to catch up with the other members of family.
- Breathe fresh air. Stress from work and school can make life more complicated. More often than not, you will yearn for a breath of fresh air. In this case, going on a campsite will surely help to have a change of atmosphere and enjoy fresh air.
- Teach kids different things. Camping trips can also be an opportunity for kids to learn about different things. For instance, they can learn how to pitch a tent or how to cook their own food. They will learn the art of survival with your help.
Choose the Perfect Location
Your choice of specific location will do a lot to make or break the camping trip. With regards to location, one of the most important considerations would be accessibility. Ideally, it should not be too far from where you live. In the same way, you should choose a site where camping is allowed. It should also be safe, especially if there are kids. It would be best if it is at least 200 feet away from water. If the location requires permits, make sure to have such secured beforehand to avoid hassles. Cost should also be an important consideration.
Bring the Essentials
To have an enjoyable family camping trip, you should check the essentials and make sure that you bring them in the campsite. You might need to bring your own tent if there are no camping accommodations available in the chosen site. Of course, you should also bring food. Consider meals that are ready to eat or those that will not be easily spoiled. If you want to cook or grill, make sure to bring the equipment that you will need. If it is cold, bring something to provide the protection that is needed from the freezing temperature.
Prepare Activities to Enjoy
Camping can be boring if you do not know how to have fun. To make the most out of your bonding time with the family, make sure to prepare activities that will be appropriate for the age of everyone. More often than not, campsite will have several amenities that can be used for active fun while enjoying the heat of the sun. You can also consider bringing board games for everyone to enjoy. Try to disconnect from technology, so avoid bringing tablets and other similar gadgets. Instead, encourage kids to be more physically active and play outdoors. It will also be good if you will be camping in a site where you can go cycling, swimming, or hiking, among other activities. Always find a way to incorporate a fun and memorable activity so that everyone will have a reason to look forward for the next family camping trip.
