Note: Story runs along the same AU as Baby Talk.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
ANBU: secondary on the hierarchy and are considered the best of the best under the kage.
Skilled ninja, ANBU are prepared for anything thrown at their direction – both literally and figuratively. From the horrendous traps to the difficult odds of success, these choice ninjas are resourceful and knowledgeable in their craft so as to ensure their survival and the completion of their mission.
Currently, two of their elites, the Dog and the Ox, just returned from a gruelling mission, smelling much like the marsh they waded through for the past week. Though, personal odours and hygiene aside, the two-man team managed to easily finish the mission with barely-worth-mentioning cuts and bruises.
So naturally, the two trained assassins were content and complacent when they reached headquarters to wash away their worries in the communal showers; their missions were almost never a walk in a park so it was definitely very nice to smell the flowers (or lack thereof with a bubbling swamp as the substitute) along the way this time.
And as Dog and Ox meandered towards the Hokage Tower to deliver their mission report, it was just so obvious to their off-duty ANBU colleagues that the two were in bright moods. The huge hint? Ox was joking and Dog deigned him a sarcastic and inappropriately funny response.
(There were several underhanded bets collected at this point concerning how long both Dog and Ox's good moods would last, but no one really needed to know about that. Clearly, the ANBU should have other, not so morbid, entertainments in their lives.)
Receiving clearance from the guards, the pleased two-man ANBU team entered the brightly lit Hokage's office, but as soon as they arrived, Dog and Ox, both lax from the lack of threat on their home turf, were immediately floored. And ANBU, because of their status, should never be floored – at least, not so easily.
But seriously, they really, really didn't expect the scene in front of them. Really.
Not looking up, the figure behind the desk chirped, "Hi!"
There was five-year-old Naruto, sitting happily on the Hokage's seat, stamping his tiny coloured hands all over official Konoha-business documents (When Dog tilted his head, he could figure out a blobby, messy, purple-splotchy cat on a paper declaring the status of the Academy's renovations). Sitting beside the boy's elbow in a surprisingly neat row were different coloured paint cans.
Both ANBU paled, not that one could see it through the masks though, but regardless of that, there was a moment of shared thought: Naruto plus unsupervised fingerpainting must equal to disaster.
"Where is Yondaime-sama, Naruto-kun?" asked Ox.
"Ummm…Yondy-ame?" Naruto made a sour face at the intruders. "Don't you mean Daddy? 'cuz Daddy's busy."
Sighing inaudibly, Dog inquired none-too-gently, "When will your Dad be back?" Ox stiffened, slightly appalled by the slipping professionalism his sempai had.
And it seemed Naruto noticed too because he sniffled. With his blue eyes set innocently wide, offset by the red and purple paint smudged on his cheeks, he pouted, "I dunno. I was painting and then Daddy came in and he took my picture away."
Ox chuckled weakly, "Maybe we'll come back later then."
"Noo!" Naruto immediately jumped out of the seat and it was all Dog could do to catch him before the kid fell. The bundle of sunshine, now secured, latched onto the ANBU agent tightly and demanded, "Stay and play with me 'til Daddy comes back." Thinking back to his fiery Mommy and the lecture on manners, the boy added in afterthought, "Pleeeease."
Dog sighed, mourning when he spotted multicoloured fingerprints smudged onto his meticulously clean black uniform. He said nothing as he tried to pry the little tyke's hands off his white porcelain mask.
"Sure, Naruto-kun…But first, why are you in here all alone?" As Ox asked the little boy, his eyes flickered behind the peepholes of the mask, edgy.
The blond shrugged his petite shoulders and waved his hands (Dog inwardly cheered when those tiny fingers left his uniform.). "Nanny went poof! Then I went to find Daddy and he went poof after I painted pretty pictures!"
"Mmm…I see…" Ox paced the room, looking just about ready to bolt and inform the ninja guards outside of the unsupervised child in the office.
"Don't you dare, Ox." Don't you dare leave me with this kid alone!
Said ANBU agent stiffened at the curt order and started to sweat.
Naruto, curious, pressed his face right up against Dog's ANBU mask and tried to peer into the eyeholes. "Hi nii-san. What's your name?"
The agent answered gruffly, "Dog."
A burst of sunshine laughter filled the room. "That's a really silly name."
The ANBU agent's hidden eye twitched. "I suppose it is."
"My name is Naruto." The boy grinned happily. "Isn't it a cool name?"
Ox agreed readily, "Yes, it's very…cool, Naruto-kun."
But the boy already wasn't listening anymore and instead, squinted his eyes in thought, his head tilted to the side. "Neh, Dog-nii-san…Why do you wear that neat, ugly mask? I wanna play with it."
"Because why?" Naruto attempted to stick his fingers through the eyehole but was stopped swiftly by ANBU Dog.
"Just because Naruto-kun."
Pouting again, Naruto quickly latched onto the edges of the disguise and pulled. "I wanna see the mask please!"
"No-!" There was a light struggle between both sides; Dog was gentle but firm and Naruto was relentlessly tugging at the disguise. Unfortunately for Dog though, the battle eventually came into Naruto's favour and the mask fell off.
So much for incognito.
An exuberant, joyful cry came from Naruto as he hugged 'Dog' tightly. "Kaka-nii! Why are you hiding behind that ugly mask?"
Kakashi choked and couldn't respond. How can he tell the kid that he's part of an assassination squad and needed the mask to retain anonymity?
Oblivious, Naruto eased up on the hug when Kakashi was sputtering and smiled cutely; his next suggestion, however, was anything but sweet, "Let me make the mask prettier!"
It was Ox's turn to choke as he attempted to muffle his laughter.
"That's quite alright, Naruto-chan. I don't think you need to do that," refuted Kakashi hastily as he attempted to extricate the mask from the boy's (evilly innocent) clutches.
And it seemed that Naruto thought the nineteen-year-old denied his help too quickly because he pouted and asked petulantly, "Why? You don't like my colouring?"
Ox, removing his mask as well, decided to intervene. "What Kakashi-sempai means is that we're not allowed to paint our masks."
There was silence and then…Uh oh. It seems Naruto found a loophole in that statement. "But I'm colouring it, not you. I pwomise to colour within the lines." A hopeful, wide grin appeared on his face; the movement caused the splotches of red and purple paint on his cheeks to crack and peel.
Kakashi glared at Tenzou. "Sorry Naruto-chan. I know you'll do a wonderful job colouring it but it's against the rules."
Naruto's mood immediately shifted and the boy started to tear up; he wailed, "But-But Kaka-nii!" Azure eyes innocently wide and watery, he stared at Kakashi miserably, "But I thought-" 'Hic'. "-You liked me." Another dejected 'hic'.
Sighing, his will to rebuke was instantly squashed by Naruto's wet baby blues. The Hatake decided that if the ANBU quartermasters were going to hate him after this, he would like to see them re-evaluate their opinions once they handled Naruto and his patented teary eyes. "Alright. Go ahead, Naruto-chan."
And so Kakashi resigned himself to his fate and allowed delighted Naruto's greedy hands to paint rainbows and flowers onto the blank canvas of his ANBU mask. All the while in an inconspicuous corner, Tenzou watched on with awed horror; no one should mix and match neon orange and green like that. No one.
Many punishing minutes later, a sulking Yondaime entered his office…and instantly did a double-take.
"Daddy!" came the delighted squeal.
"Naruto-chan, what are you up to?" Minato tried to look stern, really, but the fact that Kakashi, looking extremely cross but submissive, was sitting cross-legged on the floor with Naruto in his lap did not escape his notice. Nor the fact that Tenzou's face was suspiciously red and he appeared just about ready to bolt the room in fear for his life.
But what caught most of his attention were the bright neon yellow smiley faces, green whiskers, and tiny red hearts painted on Kakashi's exposed face and mask. Minato quivered with suppressed laughter and managed a, "Ka-kashi...What-?"
"Naruto-chan insisted on a fashion statement," answered Kakashi sarcastically and glared as if daring the Hokage to say more. He absently rubbed at the paint on his face with the back of his hand.
"Kaka-nii so pretty now!" chirped Naruto happily as he dabbed more paint onto Kakashi's nose.
It took all of the Hokage's willpower to not laugh or else face a very irate ANBU agent. "I think you mean handsome, Naru-chan."
Big blue eyes blinked and the boy scrunched up his nose, "Pretty!" Tenzou made a funny noise at the back of his throat as he tried to stop from chuckling.
Kakashi, clearly believing that this was getting out of hand, changed the subject, "Naruto-chan, don't you want to show your Daddy what you did to my ANBU mask?"
The boy's eyes immediately lit up, excited. "Daddy look. Look!"
The Hokage did look and immediately spotted the newly decorated ANBU mask. He took in all the new details, from the giant purple butterflies, and what seemed to be black stick figure ninjas, to the shiny neon-coloured rainbows.
There was a very brief quiet before Minato doubled over laughing uproariously. Wiping away tears, he choked out, "It's wonderful, Naru-chan! Very lovely."
Kakashi despite himself, chuckled weakly. Gods the quartermasters were going to flay him alive.
"Oh..." Laughter subsiding, Minato smirked, "Kakashi, Naru-chan has you eating in the palm of his cute little hand."
ANBU Dog did not appreciate that statement, especially one so hypocritical since he thought that he can still resist - somewhat. Minato-sensei, however, had absolutely no immunity towards Naruto's begging. So eyes narrowed in interest, Kakashi commented almost offhandedly, "It appears though, Yondaime-sama, that you should eat your words."
A strangled "What?" from Minato followed by Tenzou's admonishment, "Kakashi-sempai!". Then Naruto added his own adorable two cents and asked, "But how do you eat words?"
Kakashi gestured at Minato's clothing, "Naruto got you too."
Hearing his name again, Naruto beamed, "Isn't it pretty? It's the picture Daddy took away!"
Both members of ANBU stared at the Hokage's coat, suppressing the grins that would undoubtedly blossom on their faces had they not been trained to be detached and emotionless when the time called for it. They both came to one singular conclusion: Naruto must have decided that the Hokage's coat would be a good place to practice painting.
Mildly embarrassed, Minato smiled wryly, "Yeah. I can't wait 'til the Council Elders see it." The blond rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, they were already spitting fire when I added flames at the bottom hem - no puns intended." Both ANBU pretended to miss the rapidly muttered, 'But Yondaime-sama, that's not traditional enough!'.
Analyzing the clothing hanging off of Minato's left arm, Tenzou noticed the pattern of multicoloured handprints, flowers, and giant bees adorning the sacred, albeit very-soaking-wet, coat. The Yondaime must have tried really hard to wash off the paint because the coat was still dripping sudsy water, and to no avail, the colours were still stubbornly permanent on the clothing.
But quickly collecting himself with no further comments, Tenzou saluted smartly and greeted, "Yondaime-sama. Dog and Ox reporting."
Minato waved dismissively and gestured meaningfully at his messy desk, "It's alright, Tenzou-kun. I think we'll have to wait before I can receive your report. Naruto seemed to have taken a liking to painting on my official documents."
"Right, about that." Running a tired hand through silver hair, Kakashi glowered, "I can't believe you left Naruto in here unsupervised, Yondaime-sama."
Minato bristled, "He was never unsupervised! The ANBU guards stationed in the tower would have known if anything was threatening my Naru-chan."
Eyeing the colourfully painted office, two parts dryly and one part amused, Kakashi remarked, "I hope Kushina-san is aware of Naruto's artistic escapades."
"I-Of cou-!"
Minato paused into silence before he paled noticibly; he took in Naruto's appearance – paint from head to toe – with ill-contained horror. Kushina would give him an earful and kick him out of the house if she ever set her eyes on her multicoloured hunny-bee. To prevent and divert that occurrence, he had to immediately take matters into his own hands and fix this mess.
In an authoritative voice, the Hokage barked, "Dog. Ox. I order you to help me give Naruto a bath."
"…What?" "What?" "A bath? But Daddy I don't need a bath!"
Kakashi looked murderous. Tenzou was timid and slightly appalled. Minato hoped to all deities that Naruto would be complacent during the bath, that the paint would wash off, and that Kushina would never, ever hear about this.
But unfortunately for him, the very next day the red-haired matriarch of Konoha was seen bellowing at their Hokage, ranting endlessly about the dangers of fingerpainting and leaving a child alone. Several citizens who witnessed the scene even claimed they heard their Hokage cursing at one Hatake Kakashi, asserting that 'the brat couldn't keep his blabber-mouth shut'. Apparently, 'Hokage-sama' even swore an oath to 'kill his wretched ex-student and toss the corpse over a deep gorge'.
And Kakashi? He just sat in a very secluded tree, extremely pleased that revenge was exacted. In his head, Minato-sensei had it coming and the easiest way was to inform Kushina-san. Too bad about Tenzou though, who couldn't – wouldn't – help him. If only he did, Kakashi wouldn't have resorted to tying him up and letting him hang beneath the branch he was sitting on.
Oh well. It was kind of Tenzou's fault anyway, especially when he 'accidentally' knocked Kakashi into the bathtub filled with soap and water. Liking the turn of events, Naruto, with his cute little lopsided smile, wouldn't stop squealing and splashing water into Kakashi's face. Not to mention, Minato didn't help much at all, too busy giggling at Naru-chan and his 'adorability'.
Gods, his eyes still stung from the soap.
So feeling absolutely no remorse whatsoever, Kakashi only hoped that the Yondaime wouldn't find him any time soon once Kushina released him from her wrath because he knew the Yondaime would search high and low to exact his brand of revenge. And equally, Kakashi knew what he did and got himself into –
– He knew he just started a war.
"...Maybe Kushina-san will help me..." Kakashi smiled pleasantly. By recruiting her - and maybe even Rin if she's agreeable - he knew he was going to win...
After finally placating Kushina, Minato camped out a distance away from Kakashi's position and smirked as he spied at the ANBU agent. With Naruto on his side (as well as being the Hokage, he had many strings he can pull), he knew he was going to win this war.
"You may be improving without bounds, Kaka-chan, but you haven't surpassed your old sensei yet!"
And where was Naruto-chan in all of this mess? Well...Let's just say, the ANBU quartermasters are in for a shock when they see a little blond boy painting and decorating all of their ANBU masks with shiny, neon-coloured rainbows.
...Not that they can stop the kid. After all, how can you resist Naruto-chan and his patented wet baby blue eyes?
As you can tell, this story kind of spiralled out of control.

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important — Arthur Conan Doyle
When I reviewed Sunfish Sales wool headcovers several people asked me "What can you say about headcovers?" The answer turned out to be "quite a bit." Before I tried a set of Sunfish Sales' heavy-duty knit covers, my headcovers were a source of annoyance rather than a compliment to my bag. I was far more likely to curse the clumsy neoprene socks that come on my clubs as I struggled to get them on and off or jogged back up the fairway to pick them up than I was to enjoy the look and feel of a quality piece of kit.
I call this the "Places you'll never get to play" collection
Since that first review my woods and hybrids have worn Sunfish for every round, rain or shine, hell or high water. I've gotten a lot of compliments about my Sunfish woollies, along with inquiries about where to get them. And adding some class to your bag with Sunfish Sales knit headcovers was pretty straightforward, since Sunfish supplies custom covers to many of the top 100 courses in the US. For those who couldn't wrangle an invitation to, say Winged Foot or Cypress Point, Sunfish's website and prices starting at less than $30 for a luxe knit driver cover made things easy and painless.
So clearly the guys at Sunfish Sales had it all figured out. They'd done what they set out to do, and it's time to put the shop on autopilot and head to the course for Cajun Martinis and afternoon golf, right?
Leather Headcovers
The biggest update to the Sunfish Sales lineup for 2015 is the addition of leather headcovers. If Sunfish Sales' wool headcovers are Spenser: For Hire, then the new leather headcovers are A Man Called Hawk. Yes, I know I just dated myself (and revealed some pretty questionable taste in television in my youth), but bear with me a minute. Spenser, as portrayed by Bob Urich, was tough but cultured. Well-read, a gourmet cook, as likely to talk the bad guys into surrender as he was to engage in fisticuffs. When the weather in Boston turned chilly, Spenser wore a classic wool peacoat.
Avery Brooks' Hawk was the dark side of Spenser, the Yang to his Yin, the Han Solo to his Luke. Bald as a Sunday US Open green, carrying a huge, chrome Colt Python, wearing his sunglasses at night, as cool as the other side of the pillow. Regardless of the Boston weather, Hawk wore a Shaft Signature Badass Edition(tm) trenchcoat, made from black leather.
I was going to make a Shaft reference, but this is a family publication.
Sunfish's version of that trenchcoat is a series of headcovers for your driver, fairways, hybrids, and blade putter that are hand-crafted from full-grain leather. As with their wool covers, Sunfish's leather headcovers are handmade, which gives them character that's missing from mass produced products. Sunfish uses real, full-grain leather that's thicker and shows more grain than the thinner and more uniform split leather that some manufactures use. But leather is, after all, cow hide, and since cloning cows is illegal, different pieces of leather have different patterns and characteristics, even after the tanning process. Handcrafting their leather headcovers lets Sunfish accommodate the variances in the leather and makes each piece unique, which I think is extremely cool.
The quality of both leather and finish is top-notch. I tried my set with a selection of drivers, fairways, and hybrids, and for the most part they fit well and were easy to put on and take off. When I first put them on they were a bit snug, but being leather they soon broke in created a custom fit for my clubs. The nylon lining makes them easy to slide on and off, and the detailing makes identifying clubs simple and quick. Because of the design needs inherent in leather, the leather covers aren't as long as the knit ones, leaving a few inches of my driver shaft exposed. This only became a concern when I was using a putter that has no headcover, letting the head of my aptly-named "Big Ben" from Ben Hogan rattle against the shaft of my driver. No harm was done, and I eventually rearranged my bag to eliminate the problem, but if you're rocking a $300 aftermarket shaft in your driver you might want to check everything to make sure your clubs are riding safely.
Cypress Point, where they can literally look down on Pebble Beach.
The covers are available as sets or can be ordered individually in a variety of colors and patterns. Best of all they start at a cool $34.99 for putters, hybrids, and fairways, and $39.99 for drivers. Buy them as a set and $90 will get you a set of headcovers that should last longer than your golf career.
Animal Headcovers
Of course not everyone wants to dress like they've taken the Red Pill and dropped out of The Matrix, and Sunfish has you covered there too. I don't know about you, but when I hear "animal headcovers" I think of the Caddyshack gopher headcovers that are apparently part of the Acme Big-Box Golf Retail kit. Fortunately, when Sunfish says "animal headcovers" they mean the same high-quality wool and hand-knitting that goes into their standard knit covers, knit into a line of animals that look like the makers of sock monkeys decided to branch out.
It's just one happy animal kingdom, until the lobster starts something.
Order them as a set or mix and match, starting at just $25 for fairways and hybrids and $30 for drivers, Sunfish Sales' knit animal headcovers are a great choice if your tastes are a little whimsical.
Scorecard/Yardage Book Holder
This is the latest addition to my collection of "things I never knew I needed until I had them." Until you've tried one, a scorecard or yardage book holder might seem like a necessity for the pros and their 3-volume yardage books, but a little shishi for weekend warriors who have more beers in their cooler than notes in their yardage book. Even when you try one, the difference is really in all the things you don't notice. Unless you think about it, you aren't likely to notice that you didn't struggle to get your scorecard in and out of your pocket once during your round. That means that you didn't have to stop and ask your partners what they got on the last par 3 because you couldn't get the dogeared, sweaty card out of your pocket in a hurry, so you bagged it and moved on.
Made from the same full-grain leather as their headcovers, Sunfish Sales' scorecard holder has elastic loops on both sides to hold your scorecard and yardage book, as well as a loop for your pencil. It sounds like a little thing, but having a loop for my pencil means that I always have a pencil, which beats the hell out of marking my scorecard with the same Sharpie that I use to mark my golf balls.
If you don't see "Diver Down", you should probably just order a plain vanilla cover.
Having my card and yardage book organized and easy to use hasn't made me a better golfer, but it has definitely made my rounds more enjoyable. Be careful though, when your buddies see how easy it is to manage the card you might find yourself designated as the permanent scorekeeper. It's a small price to pay for the convenience, as is the $35 price tag.
Customize your covers
Perhaps the most interesting addition to Sunfish Sales' 2015 offerings isn't really a product at all. New this year you can customize your headcovers right on the Sunfish Sales website. Visit https://sunfishsales.com/custom-headcovers/ and you can choose colors, designs, details, and even add custom text to your headcovers. Prices vary depending on the options you choose, but I priced a leather driver cover with everything, including having my name embroidered on it, and it still came in at a very reasonable $80. Considering that a leather headcover could well last longer than my golf game, I think that qualifies as an affordable luxury.
Seriously, you can get more options on your headcover than your Honda.
If Sir Arthur is right and the details are what's important, Sunfish Sales' 2015 lineup of knit and leather might just be the most important part of your bag. Adding a touch of class and removing the kinds of minor annoyances that can take you out of "the zone" can't help but be good for your mental game, whether it shows up on your scorecard or not. You can see Sunfish Sales full lineup, learn more, and even create and order your own custom headcover designs on the Sunfish Sales website

PRIER the Employer
By Julie Henry, G&A Assistant
PRIER Products is definitely known for the manufacturing, selling and distributing of brass cast plumbing products but there is something else it's manufacturing that is less obvious. PRIER is creating a pay it forward type culture within its company. There is a little known trick to the trade that the PRIER management is nailing; they are completely devoted to making their people happy. When I was job hunting I noticed this commitment through the words used in their mission statement. I noticed articles on the walls during my interview where the CEO was quoted regarding the respect and appreciation PRIER shows its employees. "Nothing matters without the people," Joe Poskin said in a 2005 article. That was 11 years ago and PRIER still has an impressive welcoming package for a new hire such as myself. Through this blog I want to invite all of our customers to consider the impact employee morale has on their products. I will share a few aspects of coming into this new job that made me realize PRIER is top notch as a place to work.
By Angelo Balistreri, Southeast Regional Sales Manager
Disconnected! No, I am not talking about your wifi connection or your phone charger. I am talking about our disconnection with each other, from humanity. Over the years, with the advancement of technology, we have lost touch with one another. Which is ironic since most of these advancements are in the fields of communication. However, the forms of communication being used today are taking away from the one-on-one, in-person connection. We are all guilty. Sending an email or text is so much quicker and easier for us, but what does this do to our relationships with each other?
Dobree Dén and Do Svidάniya
By Cindy Coats, Controller
For most of my life, my father and I have traveled the world together. As a child, I was an army brat and now that my father is retired, my vacations from PRIER are spent accompanying him on his continued search for new places and new experiences. At the time, growing up the way I did seemed like a burden. Now I realize how fortunate I was and how those experiences have opened doors for me. They taught me to relate to the new people I meet every single day. I have learned that saying "hello" and "goodbye" to the people in my life is an opportunity and that living in the moment and enjoying each day, as it presents itself, is a treasure.
Inspired by Technology
By Ieshia Mayes, Accounts Payable Specialist
Here at PRIER, we are constantly evolving. In the beginning of 2016, we switched to software that required more an upgrade in our technology (i.e. tablets, scanning equipment, cloud usage, etc.). This was an exciting yet arduous move, but we needed our employees to switch gears; sort of like a bicycle.
PRIER Hosts Kansas City ASPE Chapter
May 10, 2016 - Grandview, MO - PRIER Products proudly hosted the Kansas City ASPE Chapter this past week for a tour of their Manufacturing Plant and newly constructed Sales, Training and Distribution Center on its property in Grandview, MO. PRIER presented the new facility, including training rooms, sales and engineering offices and warehouse alongside their A-quality manufacturing processes.
A Winning Team
By Scott Jones, Warehouse Manager
Any company can be in business employing several good people and never be successful. A professional baseball team can have a few great athletes and still be unable to have a winning record. To become a winning team you need much more than good or great people, you need the right people. The right people don't always have to be the best or hardest working members of the team but rather the ones who have the desire to do more or give more than others to reach a higher standard of success.
The People Make The Place
By Mary Mertes, PRIER Intern
When thinking of the most awkward experiences one might have on the job, I'll bet that going to a sexual harassment seminar with your father isn't on most people's lists. I'm lucky enough to have it on mine. For most teenagers, moving away from home is something they look forward to, to get away from their parents. Maybe I'm just different. There's a plethora of things I could be doing with my spring break, I chose the one that lets me see my dad at lunch every day.

US newspapers carry woman-in-headscarf protest ads
A poster-size image of a woman in a headscarf in the colors of the American flag appeared in full-page ads in several US newspapers Friday, part of a protest launched on the day of Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.
The image is the work of Shepard Fairey, a graphic artist famous for his "Hope" poster of Barack Obama. That portrait, also in red, white and blue, caused a sensation when it appeared during the 2008 presidential campaign.
The ads emblazoned with the woman's portrait appeared in Friday's editions of the New York Times and the Washington Post.

The Vision of Escaflowne
Main characters: Van, Hitomi, Allen, Merle
Release date: April 2, 1996
Episode count: 26
Background: Escalfowne was originally an animated series consisting of 26 produced by Sunrise Studios. Kazuki Akane directed the series. The series ran from April 1996 to September 1996 on TV Tokyo. Two different mangas were adapted while the series was running on tv: a shonen and shojo version. Yumiko Tsukamoto, Hajime Yatate, and Shoji Kawamori novelized the series into six light novels. In 2000, an animated movie was adapted entitled Escaflowne.
Plot: The series follows a girl from Earth, Hitomi, who finds her way to Gaea. Here an Empire called Zaibach is attempting to take over. She aids Van and Allen in a fight to save the planet. She finds out she is the key to stopping the Zaibach. Zaibach are also trying to revive an ancient power of Atlantis. The true history of Atlantis is about to be revealed.
Why I chose this: Escaflowne is a good anime not only because of the story but also due to the nice love triangle. I am a sucker for romance. The characters develop nicely and some have a few surprises as well. Of course the soundtrack is fantastic on the ears as well.

Here's my monthly round up of activities I've enjoyed over the last few weeks. Let me know if you have any recommendations.
Stuff I've been listening to
Mostly podcasts and mostly the same old ones but I've also got into The Age Real Footy podcast. It's not bad to have a short, sharp chunk of actual footy journalism. It's just a shame I need to look to the Melbourne media to get it.
The big new podcast was of course S-Town. It's worth listening to if you haven't discovered it yet. It's not the world-conquering, amazing podcast it was billed as but it's a good story.
I wondered what the purpose of releasing all the episodes at once would be. It's something that Netflix do with TV series but I always assumed that was an attempt to counteract pirating. With S-Town what it did for me is allow me to get more immediately familiar with the cast of characters, something that I found difficult with Serial as it was drip-fed. I found myself forgetting who certain people were whereas with S-Town, I could digest it all in a shorter space of time, meaning I had the cast of characters firmly in mind when listening.
I picked up a few new records this month, including Aretha's Franklin's Young, Gifted and Black and Patti Smith's Radio Ethiopia among others.
I've also been diving back into The Smiths a bit recently too.
Stuff I've been reading
I haven't read that much other than a few beer blogs here and there. I got the latest issue of The Blizzard but I'm not very far into it.
A whim led me to order heap of new books including Three Sheets to the Wind by Pete Brown, Garrett Oliver's The Brewmaster's Table and the incredible tome that is What To Eat With What You Drink. I haven't really had chance to do more than flick through them though.
Stuff I've been playing
I've been picking up the 3DS when I'm in a lazy mood. It's particularly good on a Saturday morning when I wake up early and can't be bothered to get out of bed. I've been plodding through Animal Crossing and I "completed" Pokemon Sun but in reality there's room to sink dozens more hours into that game.
Stuff I've been watching
Surprisingly quite a bit. I started season six of Girls but I think Ive accidentally seen a spoiler. It's intensely awkward to watch but I still love it.
I also finished series three of Broadchurch. It's harrowing and made me feel sick in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't go to bed after it.
I've also been enjoying more of the Hairy Bikers comfort food series on iPlayer and of course Doctor Who and Veep have started again.
The only cinema trip I've been on this month was to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. It's probably not as good as the first but it still captures the humour and nostalgic/semi-ironic soundtrack that made the original so great. I don't like comic book movies. I think they're trash. But I like Guardians of the Galaxy a lot. Volume 2 is worth seeing.I'm looking forward to some more cinema trips soon.
Other stuff I've been doing
My brother Callum moved to Australia this month so I've been helping him out a bit. He's done most of it himself but I took some time over Easter to chill out with him and show him a bit of Sydney.
Right at the beginning of the month I saw Dara O'Briain at the Opera House. He speaks a lot faster than he does on the TV. I'd seen maybe 40 or 50% of his set before but it was excellent. He creates awesome engagement with his audiences. It felt like I was part of something there. I laughed. A lot.
I also went to Glenbrook Record Fair, where I picked up the records mentioned above.
I also took Callum along to his first AFL game, Sydney Swans vs GWS Giants at the SCG. Callum's adopted GWS as his team since he's living out west. We had parmies and beers before the game. GWS smashed Sydney, it's not been a good start to the season.
It's been a decent month for beer, most of all I've been excited about the launch of Wildflower Brewing and Blending in Sydney. I got hold of some of the bottles of their first blends and I'm sure I'll be drinking a lot more in time.
I did a bit of baking, making chocolate flapjacks. I forgot how easy they are. I should definitely make them more often.
Finally I got some new football boots this month, the new Adidas Copas. They're a modern twist on a classic style and I love them. I've been really enjoying playing football socially this month and I've definitely been playing better. I put it down to my improved fitness and the new boots.
Otherwise I've been working pretty hard, there have been a few changes at work and it's taking up a lot of my mental capacity. My other time at home is mostly split between running and writing for the beer website. It's actually amazing that I've managed to do as much as I have this month but I'll put that down to the number of public holidays we've had.
That pretty much sums up April. Let me know if there's stuff out there that you think I'll like, whether it's music, podcasts, movies, books, games or whatever.

you to see what real courage is, instead of seeing courage is a man with
a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but
you begin anyway and see through it no matter what. You rarely win, but

Iraq | Elite Iraqi forces on Thursday retook a town on the eastern edge of Mosul while Kurdish peshmerga opened a new front in the offensive to wrest back the jihadists' last bastion in Iraq.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told an international meeting in Paris that the four-day-old offensive was "advancing faster than expected".
France and Iraq were co-chairing the meeting on the future of Mosul, which observers have warned could raise even greater humanitarian and interconfessional challenges than the massive military operation to retake it.
In some areas, the Iraqi advance was met by a trickle of civilians fleeing both the fighting and the jihadists who ruled them for two years, but the feared mass exodus from Mosul had yet to materialise.
The counter-terrorism service (CTS), Iraq's best-trained and most battle-seasoned force, retook full control of Bartalla, a town that lies less than 15 kilometres east of Mosul.
"I announce to the people of Bartalla and Mosul we have complete control over Bartalla," CTS commander Taleb Sheghati al-Kenani told reporters from the town.
"Its residents, its churches and all of its infrastructure are now under the control of CTS," he said of the small Christian town that IS seized when it swept across the Nineveh plain in August 2014.
Some 120,000 Iraqi Christians were forced to flee their homes at the time.
Further north Kurdish peshmerga forces opened a new front with a multiple-pronged assault on the town of Bashiqa.
"The objectives are to clear a number of nearby villages and secure control of strategic areas to further restrict ISIL's movements," the peshmerga command said, using an alternative acronym for IS.
At dawn, bulldozers flattened a path for forces in armoured vehicles to carve their way down towards Bashiqa.
As tanks and personnel carriers prepared to advance, a shadow glided above them and one peshmerga shouted "drone!" Fighters opened fire at it with every weapon available, causing an almighty din and lighting up the dim morning sky, until it fell to the ground and the troops resumed their advance.
An AFP reporter in the village of Nawaran near Bashiqa saw the downed drone, a Raven RQ-11B model similar to a booby-trapped one that killed two Kurdish fighters and wounded two French soldiers a week ago.
Iraqi federal forces and the peshmerga have not divulged casualty figures in this offensive.
Friday, IS released a short video showing the bodies of what it said were two peshmerga, hung by their feet from a bridge in central Mosul.
A US service member was killed today when an improvised explosive device went off, the coalition said.

Two things, while I think it's a good thing more women are getting involved in grappling and MMA, DHS is not the place for an open mat invite. Threads about seminars are fine. Ones concerning open mats, not so much, simply because if allowed, the forum would quickly be overrun with similar threads.
Second, this thread would probably get more exposure where it belongs, the Throwdown forum. Hopefully this translates into more women showing up.
Good Luck.

It is 6 kilometers away from the eastern outskirts of Lanxi, designated as an AAA state-level tourist area and the first provincial-level scenic resorts. The six caves in its name refer to the Surging Snow Cave, Purple Glow Cave, Funnel Cave, Bottomless Cave, Hehe Cave and Clear Dew Cave. It consists of such three spots as Underground Long River, Qixia Garden and Xizhen Temple.
Crowned as "best in the sea", the tour to the Underground Long River is length 2,500 meters, which is divided into three sections: Surging Snow Cave, The Tunnel of Time and Clear Dew Cave. Each of them is a fine example that displays the development of the water-eroded cave in varied periods. In the Surging Snow Cave, a hidden underground river length more than one kilometer runs through from beginning to end. The source of the river hasn't been proved up as yet. The temperature of the cave stays in 18 centigrade all year round, thus it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. Rowing a boat on the river, you will feel as if you were taken into a fairyland. The Clear Dew Cave is hollow and has its top high up in the sky. The cave is filled with fantastic formations-stalagmite, stalactites and flowstone eroded by the air and water. The exotic scenery is also available in a short distance in the Tunnel of Time, of extremely high ornamental and scientific research value.
Dongyuan Village (洞源村) is the very locality of the Liudongshan Scenic Area, neighboring hills and close to water. It has borne countless outstanding people. The general Zhang Xueliang's wife named Qixia formerly lived here. Thus, her residence was called Qixia Garden. It is a building ornamented with fine brick designs and woodcarvings characteristic of the Qing Dynasty.
The ancient Qizhen Temple houses 6000 volumes of Da Zang Jing. It is a translation of the sutra, which was brought by Tang Seng (Monk) from his journey to the west, providing precious materials for the study of ancient Chinese Culture. The legendary Huanghui Buddhist Temple tells a stunning story : In the Ming Dynasty, the uncle (Zhu Di) and the nephew (Zhu Yun) struggled for the throne, and the nephew converted to Buddhism and became a monk ultimately. Here is the seat of his tomb.

- 3 Important Differences Between Academic versus Technical Writing - January 1, 2018
In its most generic definition "technical writing" means to provide instructions on how to achieve a technical feat. And that's it. No one can define what that "technical feat" is or should be. It all depends on you.
You can take any vocation, hobby, or anything that you're passionate about and combine it with your technical writing skills to build a thriving business out of it.
The basic skill of technical writing is like a screw driver — a lot of different types of screws can be turned in both directions with the same screwdriver.
A case in point is Leannard Zinn, a technical writer who also happens to be a cycling enthusiast (well, actually a former U.S. National Cycling Team rider).
So what did Zinn do? He brought these two passions together and created a series of books and DVD sets about bicycle maintenance, selection, riding, and a host of other topics all revolving around cycling. You can do the same in your own field or hobby.
Technical writing is a precious key that can open the lock of prosperity in your life if you share what you know and what you're passionate about in life with others through the gift of documentation that solves problems and brings answers to frequently asked questions.

The Canyon Country Store Where Jennifer Aniston Used to WorkNov 5th, 2010 | By Lindsay | Category: Jennifer Aniston Locations, This and That
I just recently finished reading Jennifer: The Unauthorized Biography, a FABULOUS book about my girl Jen Aniston written by Sean Smith, a famed British biographer who has also penned bestselling bios about J.K Rowling, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. According to the brief blurb about Smith featured on the book's first page, the U.K. newspaper The Independent once dubbed the author a "fearless chronicler" and I honestly couldn't agree with that sentiment more. The guy is a meticulous researcher and, while you wouldn't think there would be much information about Jen that I didn't already know, Smith managed to dig up a few factoids that had me spinning with excitement – one of which being that the actress once worked at the Canyon Country Store – a deli/market in Laurel Canyon – for a few months before becoming famous. Smith happened upon the market by chance, actually. At the time she worked there, Jen was living just up the road from the store in a home at the end of Ridgemont Drive and, while venturing up to her former abode while doing research for his book, Smith decided to stop in for a bite to eat at the small grocery store. While there, he happened to ask the owner if Jen had ever frequented the place and was shocked to discover that she had actually once worked there! According to Tommy, the market's longtime owner, Jen did a little bit of everything at the store – from working the cash register to stocking shelves to making sandwiches at the deli counter. When she started landing jobs in the entertainment industry, she quit working at the market, but would still pop in regularly to buy cigarettes and other essentials. Well, as you can imagine, I just about died upon learning that information and immediately dragged my husband right on out to stalk the place.
The Canyon Country Store has actually been around since the early 1900s. At the time it was known as the Bungalow Inn Lodge and area hunters would congregate there each night to host picnics. The Inn burned down in 1929 and was subsequently rebuilt out of a more substantial brick material. A kitchen was added to the premises a few years later, whereupon food was served to hungry patrons. The property eventually evolved into a grocery store and then finally into the delicatessen/market/fine wine shop/coffee bar that it is today. During the '60s, the store became a regular hangout for Jim Morrison and his musician friends, who all lived nearby and would often gather together on the market's front patio for spontaneous jam sessions. Everyone from Joni Mitchell to Three Dog Night to Frank Zappa has performed live at the market at one time or another. In his famous song "Love Street", Jim sings of "this store where the creatures meet". That store is none other than the Canyon Country Store and "Love Street" is actually Rothdale Trail, the street that runs behind the market which Jim and his longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson referred to as "Love Street" because of the many hippies and love children that would walk down it each day.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy while we were stalking the Canyon Country Store and, let me tell you, the guy could NOT have been nicer!!! Not only did he take us on our own little private tour of the place, but when I asked if I could snap some photographs, he suggested that I get behind the main counter and pretend to use the cash register like Jen used to do when she worked there! Well, as you can imagine, I just about had a heart attack upon hearing his offer and immediately jumped behind the counter to snap a quick pic. So incredibly cool! He also told us that Jen was an amazingly nice person and that she truly listened when speaking with people, which is a very rare quality indeed!
Tommy also informed us that when Jen was married to Brad Pitt, the two would often stop by to say hi and to grab a bite to eat at Pace Italian Restaurant, which is located directly below the market and is a place I am going to have to stalk in the very near future!
Because so many celebs live in Laurel Canyon, the Country Store is regularly frequented by stars. Sophia Loren, Jessica Biel, and Pamela Anderson have all been spotted there in the past and actress Christina Applegate (pictured above) is apparently a regular.
And the store is also a filming location! The market was featured at the very beginning of the 1980 horror movie The Fog, although it looked quite different at that time. You can see a photograph of the market as it looked during the '80s here. The Canyon Country Store has also been featured in the movies Breezy, Rainbow Drive, and the aptly-titled Laurel Canyon – none of which I have ever seen. 🙁
Tommy was also nice enough to walk us down to Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson's former house, which is located directly behind the Country Store. You can check out some great interior photographs of the home, which is currently for sale for a cool $1,199,000, here.
I, of course, had to grab a bite to eat while I was stalking the market, which the Grim Cheaper was not too happy about, especially when he discovered that the deli sandwich he ordered was going to cost him $8.99. He later said it was one of the best sandwiches he had ever eaten, though, and had to concede that it was worth every penny. 🙂 I opted for the market's chicken salad, which was simply AMAZING! Honestly, some of the best chicken salad I've ever had in my entire life, and that means a lot coming from me as I am VERY picky about my chicken. I honestly cannot recommend eating at the Canyon Country Store enough – it is FABULOUS!
Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
Stalk It: The Canyon Country Store is located at 2108 Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Laurel Canyon. Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson's former home is located just behind the store at 8021 Rothdell Trail. You can order Sean Smith's biography of Jennifer Aniston here.

For nearly a year, negotiators for the United States and Canada have been trying to find ways to knock down barriers between the world`s two largest trading partners. After prolonged indifference south of the border, there are reports that significant progress has been made toward a meaningful bilateral free-trade pact.
It is about time that Washington decided to accelerate the pace of these critical talks. Last year, the two countries did about $ll4 billion in trade, with each nation being the others` major export market. Canada ships nearly 80 percent of its goods to U.S. markets, while the U.S. sends about 22 percent of its exports north. The province of Ontario, with a population of 9 million, buys more goods from the U.S. than all of Japan, which has 120 million people. Recognizing that the trade relationship could be even larger and more productive without tariffs and nontariff barriers, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney called in September, 1985, for comprehensive free-trade talks with the U.S. Until now, however, the issue was never high on the White House agenda. In fact, shortly after formal talks began, President Reagan approved a tariff on Canadian cedar shakes and shingles. Later, the administration imposed a duty on Canadian lumber exports. Those moves sparked retaliation.

Thh-ip fffffff . . . Needle drop, the punctuation to your anticipation. The once-familiar sound, all but eliminated by CDs and digital files, is making something of a comeback these days. Albuquerque's own singer/songwriter/guitarist Roger Jameson is contributing to the trend with his new release, "Big Black Bird," backed with "Drive-In Picture Show," on a 45-rpm heavy vinyl disc. This Friday at The County Line, he'll celebrate its release in concert with his Jaded Heart Band—Alicia Ultan (viola), Dave Williams (keyboard, sax), Mike Fox (bass), and Mike Mangan (drums), with guest Rick Crouse (guitar, drums), who will open the evening—and he'll even throw in a digital download card with the purchase of the vinyl.
A poet of broken dreams, unfulfilled promises, lost love, haunted memories, and damnably persistent hope, Jameson admits to a deeply romantic streak in his work, and "Big Black Bird" has all the earmarks familiar to his fans—and common to the classic country songs that he loves. There is the lonely motel room, the "sad and empty sunshine," the longing for home—all delivered with a raspy ache in the voice over a driving rhythm.
It's classic three-chord rock and roll that might put you in mind of Bob Seger, Springsteen, and the like, and it's a sweet spot for Jameson, who says his songs "write themselves through me." The classic rock and country of the '70s is the musical home base for Jameson, and he mines the same emotional seams he finds in that music. "You're singing about hope, you're singing about the next day's going to be better," he says. "I think it makes for good writing. I think it makes for good listening."
The B side, "Drive-In Picture Show," offers an upbeat antidote, with a rocking celebration fueled by a classic '50s saxophone that will light up the dance floor. Both tunes, at bottom, are love songs, and that is the format that best suits him, says Jameson.
The decision to pair such classic material with vinyl evolved from a number of considerations. First, Jameson just was not interested in putting out another CD at this point, and he'd been wanting to do something on vinyl for a time. Doing a full LP was a bigger bite than he wanted to take, so a 45 seemed a perfect fit for these songs, which he'd been holding onto for a few years.
Second, "I wanted to work with John Wall at Wall of Sound Studios," he says, and these two tunes offered a good way to get started with the award-winning producer.
"Honestly, there's something really satisfying about listening to something on vinyl," he says. "I think we captured it pretty good on here."
The production is excellent, and the warmth of the vinyl sound has Jameson thinking that he will never produce anything on CD again, despite the cost and inconveniences of vinyl. In fact, he is planning an acoustic set for his next recording project, again working with Wall.
But this month—first at The County Line on January 6 and then again at The Blue Grasshopper's new taproom at Montaño and Coors on January 21—the focus is on good ol' rock and roll with a full band.

Cardiotoxicity from the antitumor anthracycline, doxorubicin, correlates with cardiac drug levels, redox activation, and formation of the metabolite doxorubicinol. The cardiotoxicity may first be observed during salvage therapy with other drugs such as the anthracenedione mitoxantrone. In contrast, less cardiac toxicity has been observed in patients treated with doxorubicin followed by the anthracenedione pixantrone. In doxorubicin-pretreated human myocardial strips, pixantrone or mitoxantrone did not alter levels of residual doxorubicin. Mitoxantrone showed an unchanged uptake but synergized with doxorubicin for more redox formation. In contrast, pixantrone uptake was reduced, lacked redox synergism with doxorubicin, and inhibited formation of doxorubicinol.

Class Struggle: Will Fitzhugh
High school research papers: a dying breed
The leading U.S. proponent of more research work for the nation's teens is Will Fitzhugh, who has been publishing high school student papers in his Concord Review journal since 1987. In 2002, he persuaded the Albert Shanker Institute to fund a study of research paper writing by the Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecticut. The results were as bleak as he expected. Sixty-two percent of the 400 high school history teachers surveyed never assigned a paper as long as 3,000 words, and 27.percent never assigned anything as long as 2,000 words.

*Black sold out -- Coyote Tan & Wolf Gray available*
**FIRE SALE products can only be returned for exchange for other FIRE SALE product(s) within 30-days (refund not available for FIRE SALE items)**
SKITCH-12 Messenger Bag is THE ultimate blend of a travel-friendly urban messenger, and a covert CCW tactical attaché.
From a traditional bike-messenger satchel, to a drybag-style "rolltop" case, then to a full 17" deep open-top carryall, SKITCH's incredible ability to morph with the size and style of your load-out seamlessly makes it the best all-around shoulder bag!
SKITCH-12's TSA-friendly fold-out laptop compartment will fit a 12"-13" laptop*. It is fully padded with locking zippers, and can be used for storing your CCWs. Located on the bottom front of the SKITCH is a horizontal zippered garage, perfect for cables, power supplies, or even a bike pump!
The SKITCH can be configured into four different carry-modes: SHORT, MEDIUM, TALL, and OPEN-TOP.
On the "SHORT" carry-mode (14-Liter), SKITCH is a traditional bike-messenger bag with a flap secured by two 1" DURAFLEX buckles and hook-and-loop strips with silencers. You have rapid access via dual locking #8 YKK zippers into the main CCW-ready compartment while the flap remains closed.
On the "MEDIUM" carry-mode (16-Liter), SKITCH transforms into a drybag-style "rolltop" case, which gives you extra space while keeping out elements such as dirt and rain. A CCW-ready double-sided Napoleon pocket, multiple gusseted, hook-and-loop-secured open-top pockets, and a front admin panel keep vital items ready for quick access.
On the "TALL" carry-mode (23-Liter), SKITCH-12's full 12.5" wide x 4.5" deep x 17" tall sack will accommodate nearly twice the capacity of the "SHORT" carry-mode. On this high volume load-out mode, you can carry with the flap fastened down with buckles and full-length straps.
Finally the "OPEN-TOP" carry-mode will accommodate pretty much anything that doesn't fit using the "TALL" mode.
Hi-Viz 210-D orange ripstop nylon lining offers fantastic contrast for instant identification. Luggage handle pass-through on the back, MOLLE fields on two sides, ambidextrous hydration bladder compatibility, and lockable YKK zippers make the SKITCH ideal for world travelers and urban commuters.
Neoprene grab handle sits atop, while soft body canted, crush-proof hook-and-loop shoulder strap attachment makes a comfortable and solid anchor point. Under the arm, load stabilizer keeps the bag from swaying and can be set to the left or right side. Front flap features single row hook-and-loop MOLLE strip and patch. Discretely positioned on the sides of the SKITCH are two MOLLE rows providing user adaptability.
The use of genuine 1000-D Cordura® coated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) fabric protector, plus premium YKK zippers, ITW and Duraflex hardware further ensures the SKITCH can go the distance.
Turn your SKITCH-12 into a bike-messenger bag that rides comfortably on your back, and switchable between right- and left-shoulder with an **optional GT-COBRA™ Sling strap that uses THE world-renowned ITW / AustriAlpin GT-COBRA™ buckle that's non-metallic, crush-proof, and rated at 500-pound tensile strength!
*SKITCH-12 can fit a 2015 12.9" iPad Pro, or a 13" MacBook Pro, or a 13" MacBook Air.

Accessibility options great and zippers were smooth. Orange vis liner is helpful for deep pockets. Able to snug fit a Carbon X1 into the laptop sleeve, but for more protection, I carry the laptop with an independent sleeve in the adjacent section (zipped up TSA-approved section). I like the form factor with the option to mix it up and store things in various places.
Product delivered on time with prompt communication.

I'm very happy with my purchase it's a tough well made bag I use it as my EDC with no complaints highly recommend it. Great for the great man concept.
Posted by Andrew on 30th Jul 2017
Ideal briefcase, versatile. Get the "15" if you have a larger laptop, otherwise this seems to me to be the perfect office- or commuter-size. Carries EDC items, office-items, and lunch with room to spare!

This bag is awesome. I did not want anything to do with this bag when I first saw it but I contacted the company and was giving them my wish list of new style of carryall bags and they told me to look into this particular one. I did not care for the bag when I first saw it but I began to watch videos about the bag which is hard to find, but there are ample videos on the Skitch 15. I went to head and ordered it and I love it. I do wish there were more internal pockets but this bag has lots of storage and different capacity options. It is small enough to make it a great every day carry bag but it will hold plenty of gear. As always the quality of the product from this company is off the charts. If you were looking for a great little messenger bag this is it but if you think you need something larger go with the larger option.
Posted by Unknown on 8th Jan 2017
For me this the perfect size bag and the expansion feature makes it even more practical. I can carry a full size handgun w/clips, a 10" tablet, and all the other personal items I require for daily use. I own other brands but they just aren't as convenient to personalize as my Vanquest gear.
Posted by Brian B. on 4th Jan 2017
I purchased this bag to replace a backpack I used as a gear bag. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I selected Wolf Grey which is great color that doesn't scream tactical.
I like the bags lay out as it is perfect for all the gear I need at work (I'm an LEO). The only addition I made was a 4x6 First Aid Trauma pack attached with 5" molle sticks. Now my IFAK is right there without searching inside the bag.
I highly recommend this bag for full blown duty or leisure trek in the woods.
Posted by Roc R. on 12th Dec 2016
The Skitch 12 is an excellent bag. The various ways that the bag can transform from messenger style to roll up to open/tall carry is great depending on what you have from day to day. I coupled mine with the GT Cobra buckle strap and it is awesome. The pockets are well designed and the orange ripstop interior really helps to find things in the bottom of the bag without needing extra light.

Been hanging out for one of these for a while. Had to wait for a discount because of the sick Aussie dollar. So glad I did. This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a Maxpedition brief case and that was too big, too heavy, to rigid and way, way too expensive. (Anyone want it make me an offer, it's unused.) This bag from Vanquest is so versatile, lightweight and easy to adapt to any of your carry needs. From work; packing a MacBook 13". To loading up with EDC and emergency gear for longer trips and as a vehicle bag. Thank you Vanquest. Everything I've purchased from you is the BEST!

I was using a Trident 20 backpack as my EDC bag which was awesome. I am now in a more business/ office setting and had been looking for a messenger. The 12 is perfect. everything that was in my trident 20 (gen 1) fits. The design of the bag makes it super easy to get in and out of while walking. Easy to carry when traveling and carrying a large backpack at the same time. My only issue is that I would like to see a few more pockets in the main interior area. Great bag if you are looking for a not giant messenger you want to be with you at all times.

A Note About Membership
Membership is a response to God's call to grow as a disciple and to serve the community through the fellowship and ministry of Cross Keys United Methodist Church. Membership is a privilege and a commitment to a high calling. The choice to become a candidate for membership reflects both the grace of God working within one's heart and one's personal decision to grow in faith and obedience. If you have been attending Cross Keys on a regular basis and Jesus is the leader of your life, you are eligible to become a candidate for membership. We invite you to contact Pastor Jeff and sign up for the new member orientation sessions.
Membership Orientation Begins
A membership orientation is coming together quickly and several new friends are on board. Sessions will be held on Sunday, February, 21st and 28th at 12:30 pm at the church, bring your own lunch… coffee will be provided. New members will be prayed over and received into our fellowship on Easter Sunday, March 27th at the 8:45 am and 11:15 am services.
Wondering what is different about being a Full Member of the church? Membership isn't a stamp of approval that says now you can enjoy special privileges and benefits. Rather, membership is a personal response to the leading of God that says, Cross Keys is the place where I believe God has called me to grow and serve as a disciple of Christ. If you have been attending Cross Keys on a regular basis and if you have made the decision to put Jesus in charge of your life, you are eligible to become a candidate for Full Membership. Interested persons should contact Pastor Jeff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
