"We happened to get lucky and get the last two days they had open for the summer. It's a great location with offstreet parking, generous living space if you wanted to host a gathering (fully stocked kitchen).

Yuffie visits Konoha, commissionIn the hidden village of Konoha, there are many different ways in which its citizens start the day. Some take a nice breakfast first, others practice theirs skills or start missions which take them to far away places. But none of these people were Ino Yamanaka, the beautiful blonde kunoichi known for her long, plantium hair and love for giving wedgies to others. For Ino, the day only began once she had a victim's underwear nearby and she yanked it with all her might! She was a magician when it came to pulling, stretching and tugging the fabric, giving wedgies both common and unique to her unfortunate victims. Most of the time, her morning victims were two other kunoichi of her age: The pink-haired Sakura Haruno, and the shy, dark-haired Hinata Hyuuga. Of course, they were not volunteers, but that did not stop Ino from doing as she wanted with their panties.seseta
"Ino! Get me down of here this instant you pig!" Sakura screamed and kicked in the middle of the air, while her

The noodles, vegetables, meat and eggs, all in one glorious bowl of heaven. She sighed and gave the bowl a look. It was just to big. To keep her figure, she had to eat lighter and also healthier stuff. One did not get the slender but gorgeous body she had just by sitting around and eating cake! Ino gave the bowl one last glance before turning her head to smirk at her terrified companion. The blonde could see the fear in Hinata's big violet eyes and the trembling of her legs. She was paralized and she would not resist at all (she had learnt that the hard way). Ino saw it as a shame. She liked when her victims gave more of a fight. It spiced what came next a little more.seseta
"I-Ino, w-what are you g-goin to do with th-that bowl...?" stuttered Hinata.

Boneheads names Sheri Miksa CEO
Send this to a friend
- Jacques Couret
- Senior Online Editor and Social Engagement Manager- Atlanta Business Chronicle
Atlanta-based fast casual restaurant chain Boneheads Grilled Fish & Piri Piri Chicken hired Sheri Miksa as its new CEO.
Miksa is former CEO of the 150-unit Rubio's Restaurants chain and the 140-unit Robeks Juice chain. Miksa also held executive roles with Seattle Coffee Co., Taco Bell Corp. and LSG Sky Chefs.
The six-unit Boneheads is known for Piri-Piri Chicken and grilled seafood.
"Fast casual fresh grilled seafood is an under-served segment and Boneheads' craveable Piri-Piri sauces enhance their chicken as well as other menu options," Miksa said in a statement. "I look forward to leading this brand to achieve its significant growth potential and to bringing these remarkable flavors, thanks to the Piri Piri peppers, to a broader U.S. audience."

JAKE Holland got to imagine what it would have been like to be his great, great grandfather fighting in the First World War at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum.
The seven-year-old visited on the opening day of its new exhibition about the Great War on Tuesday. His great, great grandfather, Private Harry Holland, served with the Royal Lancaster Regiment in the trenches of northern France.
Jake's dad, Peter Holland, carried on the military tradition, serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in Afghanistan, so he has a keen interest in the army. Jake said: "I enjoyed learning about the Army from many years ago."
He and his dad, mum Bev and sister Ellie, five, visited the Woodstock museum on a holiday to Oxfordshire from Preston.

Yes, they'll probably be submerged in soup within 60 seconds - nothing more than a soggy sheep-shaped memory. But well worth it for the look on your diners' faces when you place the dish on the table.

Israelis to design San Diego-area desalination plant
CARLSBAD power station site in the San Diego region 370.
(photo credit:Courtesy IDE)
The Israeli desalination giant that is already responsible for the brunt of
Israel's salty-to-fresh water transformation is now taking on San Diego, in the
biggest desalination project to hit the western hemisphere.IDE Americas
Inc., a subsidiary of Israel's IDE Technologies Ltd, will be designing a
204,412-cubic-meter seawater desalination plant for the San Diego region, the
company announced on Sunday. The $922 million plan, called Carlsbad Desalination
Project, is being administered by Poseidon Resources (Channelside) LP, a
subsidiary of Poseidon Water LLC, and will be carried out in partnership with
the San Diego County Water Authority.Kiewit Shea Desalination, a joint
venture between subsidiaries of companies Kiewit Corp. and J.F. Shea
Construction Inc., will be providing the engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) of the facility as well as the 10-mile (16- km.) pipeline
required to deliver the treated water per day produced there, according to
Poseidon Resources. Meanwhile, IDE Americas Inc. will design the processing
plant, and will also be responsible for operation and maintenance (O&M) of
the plant under a 30- year contract.For the design contract, IDE will be
receiving $150m., while the O&M agreement will bring the company $500m.
Construction of the plant will begin this year and is slated to begin bringing
high-quality drinking water to the San Diego area by 2016, a statement from IDE
Technologies said. The hope is that the new desalination plant will help San
Diego County Water Authority alleviate its water shortage and achieve its goal
of supplying 7 percent of the region's water through desalination by 2020 –
"creating a new map of the American water market," the statement
added."The Carlsbad Desalination Project is a significant milestone for
us, California and the US at large, as we believe it will set the stage for the
future of desalination in America," said Avshalom Felber, CEO of IDE
Technologies Ltd. "For decades, we've successfully completed similar projects in
countries all over the world, and we're excited to be a part of what will be the
largest desalination plant in the US."Based in the Sharon Industrial
Park in Kadima, near Netanya, IDE has built and operates some of the world's
largest desalination plants, currently providing a cumulative capacity of over
2.3 million cubic meters a day around the world, according to the
firm.The company has worked in 400 plants in 40 countries over four
decades thus far – including Israel's own Ashkelon and Hadera desalination
plants, as well as the future Sorek facility."The Carlsbad project that
we're about to embark upon will accelerate both the visibility of desalination
in North America and the ability of potential clients, both public and private,
to understand how creative project delivery, creative finance and innovative
process design allow these types of projects to happen," said Mark Lambert, CEO
of IDE Americas. "The movement in the US toward desalination has been a long
time coming, and we're ready to lead the charge."While there are many
industrial desalination projects already throughout North and South America,
there are very few such plants for the mainstream populations of these two
continents, Felber told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday. "This is a developing
market as far as desalination is concerned," he said. Because this is the first
major mainstream desalination project in the region, IDE can by default end up
in the "unique position as the leading desalination company in the whole area,"
Felber explained.Although IDE has a huge amount of experience in
building and operating desalination facilities, until now it has been difficult
to enter the American market, and this project gives the company the opportunity
to show that it is able to operate according to American standards, Felber said.
When vying for the project, IDE was competing with companies from France and
Spain as well as one local American firm. The San Diego Water Authorityhas
already signed on 20 municipalities within its bounds that have committed to
receiving the desalinated water when it comes online, Felber noted.After
completing this project, he stressed that IDE would like to expand its
involvement in the emergent American desalination market, looking specifically
to regions like Florida, Texas and other parts of California."It's no
news that we and other Israeli [desalination] companies are well-known," Felber
said. "The real global news is entering the American market, which is really
hard to penetrate."

By jaskiran kaur | January 30, 2014 5:19 PM EST
Has "Slow Down" singer Selena Gomez already moved on from the heartbreak given by on and off boyfriend Justin Bieber? Songstress Selena Gomez has been seeing singer Austin Mahone, states Us Weekly report on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014. The report also claims that the date was setup by Selena Gomez's best friend and "Love Story" singer Taylor Swift. Read on, to find out the truth behind Selena Gomez's and Austin Mahone's dating rumors, stirred just few days after she was again seen with Justin Bieber.
Selena Gomez and Austin Mahone Dating?
Soon after the New Years day, rumors fuelled up about Justin Bieber's and Selena Gomez's reunion. It was believed that the on and off couple have gotten back together ever since they were spotted riding Segways in Calabasas' gated community. The rumors were shunned in the wake of Justin Bieber's DUI arrest and reports that claimed he is dating model Chantel Jefferies.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Selena Gomez's friends including Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato have come to rescue her from emotional wreckage, time and again. It is said Taylor Swift, who is not a big fan of Justin Bieber has pushed Selena Gomez to not only move on but start dating again.
According to the Us Weekly report, a source reported that the two singer stars are "seeing each other." It also claims that Selena Gomez and Austin Mahone are keeping their romance under covers at the moment, but they did "sneak out separately" and got into the "same car" during the Beats Music concert on Jan. 24.
Austin Mahone Reveals the Truth Behind Selena Gomez Dating Rumors
Ever since the Us Weekly report emerged it led to the rise of frenzied speculation. While everyone has been wondering Selena Gomez's dating status after splitting with Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone finally came forward to clear the air.
According to The People report, Austin Mahone stated that he is "just friends" with Selena Gomez who he thinks is "really cool."
"Say Somethin" singer Austin Mahone also added: "I think she's really pretty but every time I'm in L.A., she's like, 'Hey you're in L.A., lets hang out.' So it's cool.'"
This is not the first time Selena Gomez and Austin Mahone have been romantically associated. It is also known that Selena Gomez's BFF Taylor Swift is not too fond of her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. But she has always been a fan of Austin Mahone. And it seems that as a friend, she is doing her bit for Selena to move on.

A 39-year-old pedestrian died this morning when he was struck by an SUV in the city's north end.
Toronto police Sgt. Tim Burrows said the man was apparently trying to cross the intersection of Yonge St. and Steeles Ave. W. diagonally when he was struck by a westbound vehicle just after 3 a.m.
Burrows said at least two vehicles were stopped at the intersection when the man was hit, but they did not remain at the scene.
Burrows said this morning's accident was a reminder that motorists must always be vigilant when people are walking near roadways.
"Sometimes pedestrians do things, whether they are in the right or in the wrong," he said.

Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel," the break-out single from their 2004 debut album O.C.M.S., has been certified GOLD® by the RIAA®, with sales nearing 600,000 digital tracks. To celebrate, the band will release a "Wagon Wheel" Limited Edition 7" Vinyl on November 22, 2011.
Originally sketched by Bob Dylan and later finished by Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor, "Wagon Wheel" remains the band's most revered and top-selling single. The 7" vinyl will be numbered and feature a previously unreleased b-side, "All Night Long" (Live). To pre-order the "Wagon Wheel" Limited Edition 7" Vinyl, visit: http://amzn.to/uv62qG.
Secor reflects on the history of "Wagon Wheel":
"Wagon Wheel" is a gold record 75 years in the making. Back in 1995, I first heard Bob Dylan sing that striking chorus on his unfinished 1972 studio outtake of "Rock Me Mama". Being an audacious, banjo-picking teenager, I quickly rattled off three verses and rushed it out to coffeehouses and street corners, singing it to anyone who would listen. In 2003, seeking a copyright to the song, I learned that Dylan had credited it to Memphis songster Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, who recorded the 1950's boogie-woogie number "Rock Me Mama." From there, I learned that Crudup attributed the song to Mississippi-turned-Chicagoan Big Bill Broonzy, who recorded it way back in the late 1920's. So, from Big Bill to Big Boy to Bob and on down to me, "Wagon Wheel" has become a true American folksong, borrowed, half-stolen, and sung out far and wide. The rest, as they say, is history.
"Sliding seamlessly between catchy pop, folky arrangements and soaring melodies the tunes are captivating and cinematic, yet manage to seamlessly straddle the line between comfortable commercialism and indi-edgy…deliciously original and creative."
– NZ Musician
The first-ever US tour from Avalanche City will be held in intimate venues across the south and western US in November.

As part of the tour, Avalanche City will be opening for two-time Latin Grammy-nominated Ximena Sariñana. See full dates below.
Although Avalanche City is Dave Baxter's solo project, the live performances will feature members of his touring band on guitar and accordian. The trio has a surprisingly full and eclectic sound, easily evoking the the album and its magic...

The producer duo have sampled Australia's biggest hit of 2011 and Australian Recording Industry Association's (ARIA) Single of the Year, "Big Jet Plane" (Angus & Julia Stone), and turned it into a club cruiser for 2011. Directed by fellow countryman, Benn Jae, the video was filmed throughout the east coast of New South Wales.
fun. has announced the upcoming release of their eagerly awaited album: SOME NIGHTS arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on February 21st, 2012.
Having earned widespread acclaim with their 2009 debut album, Aim and Ignite, fun. decided to raise the stakes with this album, their first on Fueled By Ramen, by teaming with noted producer Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Drake). A behind-the-scenes look at the making of SOME NIGHTS is streaming now at Complex.com HERE.
The first single from SOME NIGHTS, "We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monáe)," is available now via all digital retailers. The single has already generated quite a buzz, hitting the top 3 on The Hype Machine music blog aggregator in its first week of release, not to mention the top 5 on iTunes' "Top Alternative Songs" sales ranking. What's more, "We Are Young" has received major airplay from KCRW's influential Morning Becomes Eclectic, while USA Today applauded the "baroque indie-popsters" for "(making) a counterintuitive play for the big time, slowing down for the massive sing-along chorus."
The band will launch a preorder for a limited edition 7" vinyl version of the single on November 28 through the Fueled By Ramen webstore, http://store.fueledbyramen.com/, which will also unveil the song "One Foot" from SOME NIGHTS as the b-side.
A companion video clip for "We Are Young" is currently in pre-production. A video of fun. performing an acoustic version of the song with Janelle Monáe is up on the band's site, www.ournameisfun.com (and featured above).
Following the release of their debut album Fuh Yeah, Waterloo, ON sibling trio Kidstreet just unveiled a brand new video for the song "Never Coming Back," which was directed by the band's Cliff Snyder and premiered earlier today on Exclaim!.
Fellow bandmate Edna Snyder told Exclaim! about the video, "When we were writing 'Never Coming Back,' I didn't think much about what my ex was supposed to look like, or what sort of man he might have been. As the video took shape though, he became a creepy, sort of nonchalant man. Whether we had intended it initially or not, the video ends up implying that what I'm never coming back to, is an abusive relationship. My good friend Zoran was kind enough to play the part. Quite a juxtaposition for him to play that role in this video!"
Critical darling, William Fitzsimmons appears on the December 13th double-CD, titled Please, Please, Please: A Tribute To The Smiths (out on American Laundromat Records). Amongst a collection of indie-rock luminaries – The Wedding Present, Built To Spill's Doug Martsch, Throwing Muses co-founder Tanya Donelly, Telekinesis and Stars — Fitzsimmons covers the title-borrowing classic from The Smiths, "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want."
In the coming weeks, stay tuned for additional announcements, including previously unreleased recordings and a forthcoming North American tour.

Nettwerk is excited to announce the addition of Toronto-based singer/songwriter Liam Titcomb to its label roster. Liam has toured across Canada with established acts like Great Big Sea, Tom Cochrane, David Usher & Colin James. In 2006, he was nominated for the Canadian Radio Music Awards for Best New Group or Solo Artist (Hot AC) for his debut album on Columbia with Grammy-winning producer Bill Bottrell (Sheryl Crow, Michael Jackson). He self-released his sophomore album, Can't Let Go, which was recorded in Nashville with Jay Joyce (Patti Griffin, Derek Trucks). He has lived between Nashville and the UK over the past year and is currently working on his third album.
Liam (who is also a recent addition to the Nettwerk Management roster) is set to release a beautiful rendition of the favorite holiday song "Silver Bells" on November 15th in iTunes, with his Nettwerk debut full-length coming in 2012.

Not for much longer. Local Government Minister Nick Smith knows better than we do, and is going to use the law to force local communities to share his vision. The local government reforms due to become law by September will work this way:
The Local Government Act 2002 will be amended to replace references to the "social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of communities" with a new purpose for councils of "providing good quality local infrastructure, public services and regulatory functions at the least possible cost to households and business".
This would see councils steered away from spending on social and cultural activities in favour of "core" activities such as key infrastructure, regulations and public services. Dr Smith said council involvement in events such as arts festivals and firework displays could go ahead because they were public services. But councils should not try to replicate services provided by central government or that could be supplied by the private sector, he said.
The aim was to limit expenditure growth to "no faster than inflation and population growth, except in extraordinary events". Benchmarks would be set for income, expenditure and debt levels and councillors would be able to set employment and remuneration policy, including limits on the number of staff.
This command by central government for local councils to stop raising revenue and providing for the social and cultural wellbeing of their communities seems particularly brazen given that – as Local Government New Zealand CEO Lawrence Yule pointed out to RNZ – local councils have only gotten into providing for social needs because central government has largely walked away from its responsibilities in some of those areas (for example, in the provision of an adequate level of low-cost housing). Over the coming months, will central government be prepared to make a commitment to meet the social needs that it is planning to force local government to abandon?
On other fronts… the occasional entrepreneurial foray into social and cultural events that come unstuck – such as the David Beckham promotion, years ago – are more than matched by the many current success stories, such as the involvement say, by the local council in putting on the annual Womad festival in New Plymouth.
Supposedly, one of the goals of our tourism industry is to promote a New Zealand with more to offer than our natural wonders, and to portray the social and cultural richness well worth exploring in our cities and regions. (That was one of the key messages of the Rugby World Cup tourism promotion only last year.) Now, the Key government seems to be doing a 180 degree turn on tourism. Because if it will soon no longer be legal for local councils to help to support this kind of socio-cultural activity in our towns and regions, who will support it? No-one. Again, aren't these the sort of decisions that local communities should be being left to make for themselves?
Unfortunately, the reforms are all about ideology, not efficiency or social need. The buzzwords give the real game away. Councils will be restricted to the provision of "core" services, to be defined by central government. Those core services, including regulatory functions will be required to be delivered "at the least possible cost to households and business…". Leave aside for a moment just what level of regulatory protections we'll have when they'll need to be carried out at the least possible cost to business. Those "least possible cost" provision are codewords for councils being made to pursue the short term cost savings of job cuts, contracting out and outsourcing. In the process, the councils' in-house expertise and experience will be lost by a contracting out process that will be socially destructive and which will – in some regions – leave the councils open to price gouging by a limited pool of local contractors.
The big giveaway in the buzzwords is the phrase about limiting expenditure growth to that caused by 'inflation and population growth' – other than in exceptional circumstances, such as natural disasters. This mechanism has been imported wholesale from Colorado's TABOR tax measure, which former Act Party leader, Rodney Hide has long admired.
Back in 2008, I pointed out how Hide had made explicit mention of TABOR as the inspiration for his initial private members bill on local government reform. At the time, Hide didn't mention that TABOR had been so destructive to Colorado's provision of social services and maintenance of its core infrastructure that voters had just given themselves a reprieve from it for 5 years, and only re-introduced it since, in amended form. Here's how I explained it in 2008:
In sum, New Zealand is about to adopt as an instrument of restraint on government spending, a measure known to have already caused havoc, division and shortfalls in public service provision in its state of origin. The detailed evidence of TABOR's flaws is contained in this extensive Bell Policy Center Report.
So how do the TABOR mechanisms actually work? As in Colorado, the measures Hide has been proposing would limit the growth rate of the revenues that government can collect and spend, and allow them to be adjusted upwards only to compensate for inflation and population growth, and nothing else. Not wage increases, or a desire to improve services. If revenues exceed the prior year's allocation, this is returned to taxpayers as a rebate.
Crucially, the measure has a rachet down effect on public services. During boom times, central and local governments are prevented from using the higher revenues to expand or to improve public services, or to save for a rainy day. Moreover, because revenues will fall during a recession, the year-to-year measurement will mean that the new base for determining spending growth will become the low revenue point created by the recession. Hence, the TABOR approach renders permanent any cuts to public services that are imposed during bad years.
An exemption from the TABOR process can only be gained through the government holding a referendum, which has to be held in the same year as the mooted increases would take effect.In Colorado, some local governments found TABOR's restrictions too constraining, and hundreds of cities, counties, school districts and special districts successfully appealed to voters over the years for a partial reprieve from some of the law's provisions.
Two years ago, the UK Independent newspaper carried this report about how destructive this brand of local government reform has been in its state of origin, Colorado.
It is hardly surprising that the Act Party – the $2 Shop of US Political Wingnuts – would have imported wholesale a method of reducing the size of local government. Nor will it bother them unduly that Doug Bruce, the inventor and tireless promoter of the TABOR rates reduction mechanism, has just been convicted of tax evasion in the Colorado courts, and jailed.
But what does it say about New Zealand that we are about to copy a local body reform idea so damaging in its place of origin that its citizens sought and won a reprieve from it? And why are we copying an idea for transparency and efficiency in rates revenue collection that was devised by a convicted tax cheat?
The most sensible comment on the local body reforms so far – where are you, David Shearer? – has been by Green Party newcomer Eugenie Sage. As Sage pointed out, the proposed reforms are an ideological solution to a declining and self correcting problem, if problem it be at all
Council spending on so called "non-core services" — such as culture, recreation and sport — declined by $ 185 million between 2008 and 2010 to 13.2 per cent of authority spending. From 2007-2010 rates were a stable portion of household expenditure; holding steady at 2.25%.
The recent Productivity Commission's draft report on housing affordability notes that rates have been declining in relation to property values, indicating that in terms of household wealth, rates are becoming less significant. [Also] Local government has been more efficient than central government at keeping labour cost rises under control.
In essence, councils incur debt at times for utterly sensible reasons, such as the need to spread the cost of infrastructure spending across the several generations that stand to benefit from them. That form of generational fairness makes good social, cultural, economic and environmental sense. Would Wellington for instance, under the reforms now being proposed, have been able to finance the sewage treatment scheme that it now benefits from? Probably not.
How will those well-used libraries in communities all around the country fare under this straitjacket on the provision of their core service, at the lowest possible cost? Quite badly, one would expect. Because the proposed reforms are a recipe for running down community services, by people who are ideologically opposed to the very idea of community.
