The strongest would still be strong (Nodoka & Koromo). Secondary girls, though, would definitely be weaken as you said. Too bad the like of Komaki and Ikeda the 2nd Suehara (Not even eligible) doesn't appear enough...
New girl wise, it's Toki way up top, then Ryuuka & Kuro & maybe Subara Kirame. The rest will be 2nd round max...

Nodoka's role in Achiga-hen is pretty important. Her young girl self is a very important character with loads of screen-time early on. And her current self shows up in a lot of the later episodes. Even if those appearances are only brief, they're in almost every episode - It goes beyond a simple cameo, imo. It shows Nodoka having a consistent presence in the show.
On the flip-side, most of the other returnees really are cameos, yeah. Koromo only shows up briefly in one episode, IIRC. So you could be right about them.
But Nodoka (and to a lesser extent, Saki and Tacos) does have a significant amount of total screen-time in Achiga-hen. So I'm skeptical of the idea of them taking a "cameo hit".

Live 1st Prelim Draw thread for those who are interested...
(It's suppose to be going on already, but I don't see any results yet)
EDIT: I think it's running late...the draw is suppose to be 00:30-01:00AM JST (11:30-12:00 Eastern Time in US), but according to the thread, seemingly the draw is running late due to, well, the usual lack of people helping...

Once again AST is getting ready to kick-off (within this week, IIRC). Didn't really realize that 1 year passed sooner than I though...
Hopes that this year's tournament will be more interesting than last year's, or even become the greatest ever tournament in Saimoe history.

I wonder if your calculation might be off when it comes to Type-Moon. There is another source this time around aside from Fate/Zero that I saw a lot of in the different groups....Carnival Phantasm. Pretty much every Fate/Stay Night and Melty Blood character was in there.

Of course, unless people start voting for Funa-Q...
P.S. I'm no expert in prediction. And personally I don't know exactly how popular some mid-tier animes are...

Madoka I miss b/c I didn't watch Lagrange (So don't know who's who...same can be apply to Medaka's Box and Tsuritama, probably some strength but I don't know who's who...). I don't think Tiffania is strong at all (Siesta is in the group also, and I didn't add her either. Zero no Tsukaima is an one-girl anime and even Louise tend to only win as an assassin...but then, Kugyu fanbase can never be counted out, just look at Nagi and how she finished 2nd twice by being the 3rd (at best) most popular girl in her own series...)

Natsuiro = I'm just not sure how popular it is. The girls are not high in Animeone poll (as accurate as THAT is) and the girl are just not that moe...
AKB0048 = No clue...won't even bother with it
Evol = Zessica is the only one that I know for sure is popular (Due to HanaKana).
Sengoku Collection = Round 2 max anyway, so I never care much about them...
Lagrange = Just didn't watch it, that's all...

BOSTON, Mass. – MIT cross country senior Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Runner of the Week for the second time in two weeks on Tuesday afternoon following his performance at the NEICAAA Championships over the weekend. This is the third time in his career at MIT that he has earned the honor.
After taking a weekend off from competition, the Engineers returned to the cross country trail on Saturday afternoon at the NEICAAA Championships at Franklin Park, an event that allowed Division I, II and III runners to compete against each other. Tech improved on its 13th place finish from last year to take ninth out of 41 teams with 273 points, finishing fourth out of all Division III teams present. Wedge led the Engineers with his 15th place finish on the five mile course with his time of 24:54.
At the Purple Valley Classic at the end of September, Wedge finished in third place in the 8k with a time of 26:14.2 and was named the NEWMAC Runner of the Week for his impressive run.
In the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) poll that was released last week, the Engineers moved up from fifth to fourth in the nation, the highest they have ever been ranked in program history.
MIT will not compete until Sunday, Nov. 3 when it returns to Franklin Park for the NEWMAC Championships. The Engineers will be looking to capture their 16th consecutive conference title, one for every year that MIT has been part of the league.

The number of PV systems is increasing all over the United States. By the end of 2012, PV capacity was more than 7,700 megawatts (MW), with more than 3,300 MW of PV installed during 2012 alone. But are all of these systems performing at the highest possible level, even after five, 10, or more years of operation? Here are some of the common signs and symptoms of underperforming PV arrays—and their remedies.
Figuring out if your PV system is working properly can often be difficult, especially for owners of smaller residential PV systems who have never been given proper instruction on system monitoring. Many folks keep tabs on their grid-tied PV systems just by examining their monthly electric bills. They know roughly what the bills have been since their PV system was installed, and assume everything is fine if their payments stay about the same.
In areas with production-based incentives, a separate meter records PV system generation. This can make monthly comparisons of PV performance more straightforward from year to year. Any significant drops in production for a particular month from one year to the next should raise a red flag—while it could mean only that there was less sun than the previous year, it is a good idea to check the system for problems.
Net-metered PV systems can be difficult to pin down since the utility's meter only shows excess PV energy produced after all of the home's electrical usage. If the loads change from year to year, then the net production (if there is any) will change as well, even if the PV system is performing as in the past. Most grid-tied inverters display instantaneous power and energy production totals, but someone needs to check them regularly, record the readings, and compare them from year to year to really know if the system is performing to specifications. And what happens if the system was not installed properly in the first place and has never worked properly? We need a way to know if a system is doing what it is supposed to do.
Let's use a 3 kW net-metered PV system as an example. The system owners notice that their monthly electric bills are a lot higher than the previous year. Nothing looks amiss—the modules are still on the roof, and the inverter has a little green LED lit up when the sun shines. The inverter's screen shows the array is producing 925 watts at about 3 p.m. Should this 3 kW array be producing more?
With a little math and a couple of measurements, we can get a pretty good idea of what an array should be producing any time there is full sun. Here are the parameters you can use to calculate PV system power output:
STC ratings. PV modules are factory-tested to determine their power output. When we talk about the size of a PV system or module, we are using the "STC ratings"—the numbers detailed on the back of the module and on its data sheet. STC, or "standard test conditions," is a solar irradiance of 1,000 W per square meter and a module cell temperature of 25°C (77°F). Although both of these values impact a PV module's output, its rating at STC rarely reflects real-world conditions. The result is that a PV module rated at 250 W STC will only produce 250 W under those specific conditions. In full sun and up on a rooftop, the actual conditions are usually much different. For instance, during the winter in an area with no snow and a slight haze, the irradiance will be lower (perhaps 700 W per square meter) and module cell temperature might be close to 25°C ( 77°F). In the summer, irradiance might be closer to 1,000 W per square meter, but module cell temperatures may be 60°C (140°F).
When calculating the power output, we'll start with the STC rating of the PV array—in this case, 3,000 watts. Then we will include several derate factors, which will lead us to the array's expected power output.

Vita owners looking to pad their handhelds with PSP games had their choices shortened by two in March. First, Sony removed racing game Motorstorm: Arctic Edge from the network. The Japan-only Everybody's Tennis (Hot Shots Tennis in the U.S.) was next. Why pull the games? Both could be exploited to launch Half-Byte Loader, a tool that allows a "limited PSP homebrew experience" on the device.
Homebrew software, for those not familiar with the lingo, refers to unsigned applications running on the system, i.e. homemade games and apps as well as pirated games. Sony pulled the games to deny hackers and homebrewers access to its new system. Considering the problems with piracy the company had on PSP and the PlayStation Network hacking fiasco, it's understandable why Sony's anxious to stay ahead of the pack on Vita.
The problem is that there are plenty of basement game makers who want the ability to run homemade software on Vita for non-malicious reasons. There was a vibrant homebrew community on PSP and the more powerful Vita represents opportunities for even more advanced creations. Hence why Wololo, the creator of Half-Byte Loader, is hard at work trying to get a new version of his tool built for Vita. Digital Trends caught up with Wololo to discuss piracy, the future of homebrew on Vita and Sony's war with pirates.
"Vita is bridging a gap between the PS3 and the PSP, not only from Sony's point of view, but also because hackers from both the PS3 and the PSP are interested in the new device. For now there, there is no Vita homebrew, just PSP homebrew made compatible with Vita. People are excited to try and use the full power of the Vita though, but that hasn't happened yet," explains Wololo.
He's meeting resistance trying to get into the Vita. It was Wololo's release of Vita Half-Byte Loader files that got Motorostorm: Arctic Edge pulled from PSN in the first place. "Sony is doing a strong job securing their hardware nowadays. PSP was exploited on day one because its release was rushed. The first models allowed people to run unsigned code, and hackers learned a lot about the system as a result. In hacking, most of the initial information comes from hardware hacks, so Sony increased their security on [Vita.] They concealed most of the things that could help analyze the Vita's internals without expensive tools."
Sony's cautiousness in designing the Vita will mitigate many of the problems the company had with the PSP, particularly the piracy of legitimate games. "Vita is more network oriented than the PSP. Even if it got badly hacked, Sony could simply revoke PSN access to pirates. In the days of the PSP wasn't a big deal, but for Vita that means no trophies, multiplayer, potentially no DLC, etc.," says Wololo. "In that way, I think the Vita will end up similarly to the PS3. There are possibilities to pirate games on the PS3, but they come with so many constraints, including the risk of losing access to PlayStation Network, that most people won't bother."
So Sony is effectively combating pirates but it's also blocking out users who simply want to tinker with the Vita for curiosity's sake. The company is trying to have its cake and eat it too to some extent by trying to create an environment for homebrewers to build apps and games Sony-made phones and tablets as well as handhelds running Google Android. The PlayStation Suite tool would presumably make homebrew a legal pursuit without the need to hack Vita. Android provides a model that Sony could follow to open its platform to homebrewers.
"If Sony makes PlayStation Suite available for Vita, it could help mitigate [hacking] a bit. On iPhone, sharing your app means following Apple's rules which are extremely constraining. People who want to use apps not allowed by Apple need to jailbreak their device. On Android, anybody can create their own app store (e.g. Amazon), or distribute their apps on their own website. The only thing users have to do in order to install 'unauthorized' apps on Android is to set an option in the settings," says Wololo.
"If Vita offered the same type of options as Android, I would clearly spend more time with their tools, trying to port my own games, than hacking. But I'm pretty sure Sony will go the iPhone way.
Sony's work to stop piracy will only go so far though. "I don't think anything a company will do can stop piracy. People who pirate don't care about homebrew games, they want to play commercial games for free. Piracy didn't exist on the PS3 until Sony removed the possibility to run Linux on it though, so maybe officially accepting homebrew games would help."

Almost 3 years later Ruby started feeling queasy and dizzy. She passed out on the couch one afternoon and Matthew was getting worried so he took her to the hospital. It turns out Ruby was pregnant with twins! They were shocked, happy, excited, but nervous all at the same time. They both hoped for boys but were not disappointed when they screen showed to baby girls. They started getting ready early and good thing because 3 weeks early Matilda Marie and Lucille Grace nn Lucy) were born happy and healthy. Izi loved being a big sister and took it on pretty easily which was a good thing.
About 2 years later Izi 6 Matilda and Lucy 3 they decided to try for a baby boy to complete their family of girls. It didnt take long for Rubys pregnancy test to show positive and they were ecstatic. But their happiness soon turned into nerves when they found out it was triplets. They decided to move out of their home in the suburbs and out to a big home in the country where they could raise their big family. On the due date Samuel Everett (Sammy) Jonah Peter and Aubrey Claire were born but Aubrey was not doing so well. She struggled with her breathing and had to be kept in the hospital for 2 months. They said she wasnt going to make it but she pulled through and everyone was happy.
3 years later the test read positive again but this time they wren trying they thought they used protection but didnt. Even though it was a shock they were happy to have another baby in their family or shall I say 2 babies. Elliot Martin (Eli) and Wyatt Thomas were born. They waited a long time and decided to try for another girl but were blessed with another baby boy Joseph Matthew (Joey) and they were happy there was only one but they still werent happy they wanted a girl. So far there was Izi 13, Matilda 10, Lucy 10, Sammy 8, Jonah 8, Aubrey 8, Eli 5, Wyatt 5, and Joey 1.
The next pregnancy came quicker than expected with little Joey only one. The pregnancy was different she felt bigger because she was having quadruplets. Everything went well and 9 months later Harmony Renee, Charlotte Louise (Charlie), Eleanor Paige (Ella), and Jaden Christopher were born cute as could be. They thought their family was complete but they were wrong oh so wrong.
Four years later Ruby got pregnant with sextuplets! They were worried about the babies surviving. They were also worried about money space and time to spend with them with all their other children. But they made it work and Ruby gave birth to Micah David, Oliver Jack, Trevor Lucas, Amelia Rose, Caitlyn Natasha, and Farrah Sophia. They love all their children dearly here they are.
Izi, Matilda, Lucy, Sammy, Jonah, Aubrey, Eli, Wyatt, Joey, Harmony, Charlie, Ella, Jaden, Micah, Oliver, Trevor, Amelia, Catelynn, Farrah Pics soon!!

Trent and Julie Adams met at school when they were 15 years old. Sharing the same interests in sports and student government, Trent and Julie became best friends. They were inseperable all through high school, but just as best friends. Julie regularly dated Trent's best friend, Sean, and Trent had no problems finding dates himself. Many weekends Trent and Julie would double date.
After graduation, Trent attended Clemson University in South Carolina on a baseball scholarship. Julie attended Oklahoma State University with both golf and leadership scholarships. Busy with their studies, sports and new friends, Trent and Julie gradually lost touch with each other. Both dated other people off and on throughout their college days. Trent was even engaged once, but called it off two weeks before the wedding. He said, "it just didn't feel right." Julie had several relationships, some lasting many months, but none were very serious.
Julie graduated from Oklahoma State after four years with a degree in Architect. She found a job with a large architectural firm in Oklahoma City. Julie poured herself into her job. Her dedication was rewarded with regular promotions and raises. Julie dated ocassionally, but nothing seriously. She bought a house not too far from her office, adopted a basset hound, Ollie, and settled in to the single life.
Trent, having changed his major six times, graduated from Clemson after five years. He had a double degree in Accounting and Construction Science & Management. Trent found a job as a project manager with a commercial contractor in Myrtle Beach, SC. He rented a condo on the beach, worked hard during the day and partied hard at night.
After five years, and a few nights in jail due to public intoxication, Trent decided he needed to settle down and give up the party atmosphere he was living in. After a couple failed attempts, Trent decided it was best if he moved away from Myrtle Beach and got a fresh start. Returning to his roots in Oklahoma City was exactly what he needed.
Trent returned to Oklahoma City and moved back in with his parents while he looked for a job and a place to live. Not real happy with his employment options, Trent decided to open his own commercial construction company, Diamond Construction Company. It took Trent many months to write his business plan, secure a small business loan, find offices and hire a meager staff. But, finally, Diamond Construction was in business and winning contracts.
Since the company had few employees, Trent had to wear many hats, including running the errands usually reserved for an entry level assistant. In the middle of a job, Trent realized he was short a few plan sets to dispurse to his subcontractors. Needing them immediately, he elected to pick the plans up from the architectural firm before heading to lunch. Standing at the counter, waiting for the clerk to return with his plans, Trent heard a familar voice.
It had been over ten years, but Trent could never forget the voice he had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning talking to as a teenager. Trent turned around and was not disappointed to see Julie standing about 15 feet away, conversing with an associate. What did surprise Trent was the reaction his heart experienced. He didn't remember Julie being so beautiful! Her strawberry blonde hair was pulled back, accentuating her slender neck and shoulders. Trent was caught staring as Julie's green eyes caught his own. A smile lit up her face, showing off the deep dimples she shared with Trent.
Julie quickly closed the distance between her and Trent. When she discovered her eyes were not deceiving her, Julie squealed like a school girl and threw herself into Trent's arms for a hug. Trent responded, holding Julie tight. Julie was surprised to find Trent was no longer tall and lanky. Rather, he was muscular and had broad shoulders. She wasn't for sure, but she was willing to bet he was even taller. He still had a head full of black hair and nearly black eyes that danced when he was truly happy. As Julie stepped back, she was shocked to find her self yearning to feel Trent's strong arms encompassing her again.
Trent and Julie decided to go to lunch and catch up. They talked about old times and shared stories from the years they were apart. They exchanged family news, showed off pictures of nieces and nephews and divulged the gossip they each had on fellow classmates. Both Trent and Julie were shocked to find they had taken three hours for their lunch! They exchanged contact information and vowed to never lose contact with each other again.
It didn't take long, Trent called Julie that very evening. They set up a time to get together that weekend. The one weekend soon turned into every weekend, which led to week nights and nearly all free waking hours. The chemistry between Trent and Julia was building and ready to explode. Unable to contain himself any longer, Trent took the chance and shared his feelings with Julie. He was both relieved and overjoyed to find Julie felt the same way. Four weeks later Trent asked Julie to marry him. Julie said yes. Ten weeks later the couple was married in a small church wedding in Oklahoma City. Following the wedding, the couple escaped for a cruise of the Greek islands.
On their one year anniversary, Chloe Juliette, joined the Adams family. Phoebe Charlotte and Sophie Vivienne arrived two years later. Two years later, hoping for a boy, Trent and Julie decided to have another baby. Christian Douglas, Sebastian Thomas and Daphne Lillian arrived two months early, but healthy. The Adams family now had 6 children under the age of six!
Trent thought their family was complete. Chloe was 7, Phoebe and Sophie were 5 and Christian, Sebastian and Daphne had just celebrated their second birthday when Julie expressed her desire for more kids. Never one to deny his wife anything within his power, Trent got to work on giving Julie another baby. Eleven months later Titus George arrived, screaming and showing his red hair did indeed come with a quick temper!
Trent and Julie had their hands full and never really gave much thought to more kids. Both were now 40. Chloe, 10, was involved in golf and tennis lessons. Phoebe and Sophie, 8, were excelling in gymnastics. Daphne, 5, was taking gymnastics and golf lessons. Christian and Sebastian, 5, were busy with t-ball, soccer and golf lessons. The baby, Ty, now 2, was giving Julie a break by attending preschool two days a week. Trent and Julie enjoyed those two days a week and took advantage of the time they had to themselves. They shouldn't have been surprised to find out Julie's stomach flu was actually quadruplets!
Karis Gabrielle, Kyra Michelle, Maya Lucille and Melina Danielle arrived two days after Ty's third birthday. Seeing they were all girls, Ty informed his parents that was NOT what he wanted for his birthday and they should take the girls back to wherever they got them! Trent and Julie chuckled, cuddled Ty and told him what a great big brother he was going to be.
Years had passed. Trent and Julie, 51, were looking forward to their kids growing up and starting to leave the home. Chloe, 21, was attending the University of Central Oklahoma. Phoebe and Sophie, 19, were both taking classes at the local community college. All three girls were sharing a rental house. Daphne, 16, was preparing for the Olympic trials in gymnastics and balancing her studies with her social life. Christian and Sebastian, also 16, were busy restoring a 1968 Ford Mustang. Christian was a starting goalie for the high school soccer team, a relief pitcher for the baseball team and a punter for the football team. Sebastian loved golf and spent as much time on the course as he could. Ty, 13, still had a quick temper, but was learning how to manage it better. He was the starting short stop for his baseball team and held the record for the most homeruns in his league. Karis, Kyra, Maya and Melina were now 10. They all enjoyed gymnastics, tennis and piano lessons.
The family had been saving money for a family cruise of the Greek Islands. Trent and Julie had relieved the sights they had seen many times. The kids had all heard the stories and the reasons why the had all received names of Greek origin. Though not as excited as their parents, the children were excited to see with their own eyes the sites their parents loved. After two days at sea, Julie became ill. She'd never experienced seasickness before, but had all the symptoms. The ship doctor gave her some medicine to calm her rolling stomach and suggested she take it easy. The medicine provided some relief, but Julie still remained tired and nauseated. Trent and the kids took in the sites while Julie spent most hours in bed.
When the family returned to Oklahoma and Julie's seasickness did not subside, Trent insisted she see a doctor. Julie underwent a thorough exam, including blood work and urinalysis. Worried, Trent remained by her side. The doctor explained it would take about 48 to 72 hours to get all the test results and he would call her then. After the doctor left the room, Julie got dressed and walked out into the hall with Trent. The doctor reappeared and asked the couple to join him in his office. Anxiously, Trent and Julie followed the doctor. They couldn't figure out what had changed in those few minutes Julie was getting dressed. The doctor completely surprised him when his demeanor relaxed, he smiled and started his statement with, "Congratulations!" Both could only remember bits and pieces of the rest of the doctor's statement. Something about baby, high risk, bed rest.
Trent celebrated the news by scheduling an appointment with a urologist for a vasectomy. Julie prepared a speech in her mind for telling the kids, but could never figure out the right words. After being in a daze for a couple of days, Trent and Julie called a family meeting and shared the news. The girls were estatic to be welcoming another baby. The boys were pretty neutral and just asked who would be taking over the cooking duties. The family pulled together, helping each other and taking over the duties usually done by Julie. As each month passed, the excitement in the house grew. Finally, after seven months of bedrest, Julie delivered healthy triplets: Nicholas Henry, Theodore James and Zoe Vanessa.
The Adams family was now complete.

(39) DH: Noah Michael
(39) DW: Julianne "Julie" Rebecca
Noah Blakely met Julianne Woods at the age of 15, when she moved in with her aunt in Selmer, Tennessee. Julie's mum and dad just had their 7th child, a boy, and they didn't have enough room for all 6 children. So Julie and her younger sister, Grace "Gracie" Rosalind [then 12], moved in with their aunt, Janey. The girl's mum, Mariah, would come down and visit them every week with the younger children; Thomas "Tommy" David [then 10], Caroline "Carly" Jane [then 8], Victoria "Vickie" Adeline [then 7], Sarah "Sarah Beth" Elizabeth [then 3] and Michael "Mikey" John [then 4 months].
Noah only had one brother growing up, Nathan "Nate" Carter [then 17]. So when Nate left for college, Noah was lonely. He put all his effort in to school and football and spent most of his time in the gym or in the school library. That's where he met Julie. She was looking for a book about Van Gough and he was busy studying his butt off, unless he wanted to be kicked off the team. He found her book and she thanked him and went on her way... though she couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was!
Julie was always a very beautiful girl, but Noah couldn't stop staring at her in class, and she began getting a little creeped out. So one day, after being at the school for 2 months, she confronted him. He simply replied by saying "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, is all." She blushed and walked away.
When Julie's dad Benjamin died 3 years later, Mariah needed help with the kids, and so both Julie and Grace returned home to Oklahoma and Julie left Noah. He promised he'd write her letters EVERY week and that they would talk on the phone. He promised her it would be okay. She believed him.
Grace was 15, Tommy 13, Carly 11, Vicky 10, Sarah Beth 7 and little Mikey was barely 3.

DW: Meshell Rae(44)
DH: Matthew Thomas nn. Matt(44)
-Meshell and Matt
Meshell and Matt met when they were only 4 years old. Even at that young age, they called each other "boyfriend and girlfriend". They were together all the time. They started dating when they were 16 years old and decided they wanted to go into the same career. They went to the same college for nursing. Their third year, Matt proposed with an excited yes from Meshell. They were only 21 and were madly in love with each other.
Just two years after they were married, they got pregnant with a little boy. They were super extatic, but super nervous for having a baby at only 23 years old. Their new baby boy came into the world at 8 lbs. 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. He was named Ross Alexander after Matthew's dad Alex.
After having Ross, they both mentioned that they wanted a big family, but they didn't want their kids to be born right after one another. So when Ross was 3, they tried for another baby. They were super happy to find out that they were pregnant with twin girls! There were a few complications along the way, but they made it out with two healthy baby girls at 37 weeks. They weighed 7 lbs. 2 ounces and 6 lbs. 13 ounces. They were named Amelia Marie, who is called Mia for short, and Emalyn Margaret who is called Emmy.
They decided that they were super at this parenting thing, so when the twins were only 1, they tried for another baby and were super shocked to find out they were having another set of twins. They were twin boys this time and were welcomed into the family at 39 weeks weighing 8 lbs. and 7 lbs. 12 ounces. They were named Emmett Simon and Reed Joseph.
They decided to wait a couple years to have another child, but they definetely wanted more. When Ross was 9, the twin girls were 5 and the boys were 2, they tried for another child and were extremely shocked when they found out the news. They were having another set of twins! They had beaten the odds and had three sets of identical twins when Logan David and Aaden Daniel came in weighing 7 lbs. 8 ounces and 8 lbs. 1 ounce. They were loved immediatly and were the focus of the family.
They decided with a son and three sets of twins, they should wait a couple years before having another child. When Ross was 14, Mia and Emmy were 10, Emmett and Reed were 8 and Logan and Aaden were 5, they tried for another child. They were super excited when they found out they were having just one little boy. Denver Jonathon came into the world at 8 lbs. even and he was the new play toy in the house.
When Denver was 1, they started trying for another baby, hoping for a little girl. They had to turn to some doctors to be able to get pregnant again and on their third trial, they found out they were pregnant again, with quads!! They had gotten their wish of having a little girl, the babies were identical girl quads. Again, they had beaten the odds and had a set of identical quads. But this pregnancy had to come with it's complications. The babies were 7 weeks early and were kept in the nic-u until 3 days before their due date. Mylee Grace, weighing 3 lbs. 4 ounces, came home first. Selina Hope who is called Lina, weighing 3 lbs. 1 ounce came home second. Avery Faith, weighing 2 lbs. 14 ounces came home third. Finally, Cassidy Joy who is called Cassi, weighing 3 lbs. 7 ounces, came home last.
With 12 kids already, the Donaldson's wanted just one more child. But again, they were forced into fertility treatments. They had about 8 trials before one actually got fertilized. They found out they were having triplets. At their 12 week check-up, their lives were turned upside down. One had split and they had twin girls now and also another split became twin boys. They also found another that they hadn't seen before. The Donaldson's were having 3 girls and 3 boys. Meshell had to go on bedrest 4 months before the babies were born. The were delivered through C-section at only 26 weeks. They were all in the hospital for 2 and a half months before they all went home together. Gemma Katherine was 2 lbs. 11 ounces. Annika Rose who is called Annie was 2 lbs. 7.5 ounces. Lacie Claire was 3 lbs. .5 ounces. Asher Timothy was 2 lbs. 14.8 ounces. Zane Benjamin was 2 lbs. 9.7 ounces. Corbin Christopher was 2 lbs. 11.5 ounces.

Holy crudbuckets I got so many multiples! o.o (I'll add their story in the next post) ~Haddie
Posted 06 July 2010 - 02:24 PM
Alice Grier Blakely used to work as a photographer until she started having a lot of kids. She met Thomas Henry Blakely at a lake she was taking pictures of, while he was fishing (on his spare time). Thomas works as a psychologist. Soon after, they got married and after years of unsuccessfully getting pregnant, Alice finally had a child, they didn't stop coming!
Alice and Thomas had Annie six years into the marriage. Alice and Thomas were completely happy with just the one child, but ended up pregnant almost a year after. They were surprised with two little twin girls, Katherine Scarlett and Emma Shiloh.
Thomas was very happy to have his three little girls, but Alice had always wanted a boy, so Thomas agreed to try again for a boy. Their attempts gained them four beautiful quadruplet girls: Olivia Paige, Arabella Solace, Saoirse Grier and Lydia Danielle. After this, Thomas wanted to stop having children, being they already had seven young girls (all very little, being four were only months old, two were three, and one was five). So Alice agreed they'd stop trying for children, under the conditions of if they get more, they get more.
Alice was already pregnant within a year or so, and in the end, she finally got the little boy she had always wanted, Liam Mathias! Alice was very excited about her little boy, and her love for children still sparked inside of her. But she was ready to stop having children now; Thomas's job wasn't high paying enough to support any more kids, plus Alice and Thomas didn't have much time left to love and care for the kids and themselves.
However, a couple years later, Chase Alexander and Connor Nathaniel came along. With Annie being ten; Katie and Emmy being eight; Livy, Aerie, Saoirse and Lydie being five, and Liam being three, Alice was ready to call quits. Thomas had recently gotten a raise and many extra hours, but she was afraid that even the raises and extra hours wouldn't afford so many kids, nor did she think she could love so many of them.
But, against her general will, she got pregnant with four more girls. By then, her stress levels had raised very much, and she felt bad that the older kids didn't get the attention they deserved. Annie started giving up her dreams of playing soccer and stayed home instead of going out with her friends to watch Chase and Connor. Katie and Emmy watched Livy, Aerie, Saoirse, and Lydie. Even though Alice only watched Liam during the evening, she still felt a lot of pressure to watch them all.
Willow Eden, Aspen Gabrielle, Juniper Charlotte and Brooklyn Aoife were added to the family. Alice and her mom never really got along well before, but a year after the quads were born, Alice called her up and had her move in. Her mother, Laura, helped out a very lot with babysitting and funds. Alice was still sressed out, but at least the load is easier!
Alice got pregnant with her final set of kids not very long after the quads. Silas Daniel, Riley James, Cole Benjamin, Jaden Henry, Lyra Madeline and Anya Harlow were the last kids she had, her set of sextuplets. Alice, at first thought that this many kids would drive her insane, but her mothers and husbands support and love plus her childrens help all made life so much easier to bare. Alice and Thomas loved every single child to pieces.
LOL theires Alice's story, and Thomas for the most part. And I guess I'll give a persona of each child too! (haha I have no life... so bored! )
Annie Graceyn: Annie is now fourteen years old. She loves soccer with a passion. Annie is the type of girl who's very well rounded; excells in school, does well in sports, etc. Very pretty. She also has a very good character. She's the type of daughter any mother would dream of having. Annie ended up able to join soccer soon after her Grandma Laura loved in.
Katherine Scarlett and Emma Shiloh: Katie and Emmy are twelve years old. Katie loves to model, and dreams of growing up and modeling with her twin, Emmy. They're both very beautiful- and they know it! Katie is the more outgoing of the two. They both have very similar personalities. Better then most in school, but have a lot less interest then Annie.
Olivia Paige, Arabella Solace, Saoirse Grier and Lydia Danielle : They're nine years old. Each of these four girls is very very different from each other, and generally don't like to be around each other much. Livy wants to model and be like Katie and Emmy. She acts like she's better then people sometimes, and tries to act a lot older then she is. Aerie enjoys being a younger sister and tries to take advantage of it. She's very cutesy. Saoirse acts more like Annie in trying to do well in school. Very unsocial and shy. Lydie is very much a jock, and thats the only thing on her mind most of the time. Extremely tom-boy.
Liam Mathias: Liam is seven years old. He's a typical boy: likes to tease, rough and rowdy, etc. He has a huge, handsome smile and enviable blue eyes. Everyone loves him type
Chase Alexander and Connor Nathaniel: they're four years old. Partners in crime. Both tend to be trouble makes, though are sweet as chocolate inside. <3 The time you try to hate sometimes but you cant help but love them. Always causing lots of mischief!
Willow Eden, Aspen Gabrielle, Juniper Charlotte and Brooklyn Aoife: They're two years old. Like to look identical to each other. Easy going, very social. Love people. Always acting all smiley and cute, unless Alice wants to put them to bed Willow and Aspen only like wearing dresses, and get very upset if you put shorts/pants on them. Junie and Brooke prefer pants. Aspen almost always has her finger in her mouth.
Silas Daniel, Riley James, Lyra Madeline, Cole Benjamin, Anya Harlow and Jaden Henry: they're four months old.

Micah Alexander and Juliet Madison Adams met 13 years ago. They had gone to school together but didn't start dating and eventually marry until a few years after they graduated.
They decided that they wanted to start a family and got pregnant right away with their first child. They named her Charlotte Grace Adams. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and is incredibly outgoing and friendly. Her parents normally call her Charlie.
After Charlie was born, Micah and Juliet found out they were pregnant again. They were very surprised, but still thrilled at the fact that they were going to be giving Charlie a sibling. They found out they were having a boy. (Micah was over the moon about it ) They decided to keep a theme going and give him a C first name to go along with Charlotte. Caden Micah was born healthy and happy. He has brown hair and green eyes, just like his mother. He is not quite as outgoing as his sister, but he is still a friendly child. They decided that they would call him Cade.
Now, Micah and Juliet had always wanted a big family, so they decided when Charlie turned 2 and Cade turned 1 that they wanted to try to have another baby. They soon found out they had been successful and were expecting another little boy. Caine Thomas Adams joined the family screaming and healthy with blonde hair and blue eyes, just like his sister. Caine is a very shy child who prefers to hide behind his mother's legs instead of making friends.
After Caine was born, Juliet discovered that she was once again going to have a baby. They weren't planning on another child so soon but were thrilled beyond words. Again the child was a boy. They named him Cassius Anthony, after both of Micah's grandfathers. They call him Cash. Cash has brown hair and green eyes like his brother Cade and is a quiet child who enjoys people watching and playing with his siblings.
Juliet's younger sister Robyn passed away in a car accident and left behind twin boys named Asher Tobias and Jasper Ace. The children's father wanted nothing to do with them and had left before they were born. Micah and Juliet decided to adopt the boys and raise them as their own. Asher and Jasper both have red hair and hazel eyes, like their mother. They are amazingly smart and gifted children who were born around the same time that Juliet had Cade.
A few years after they had adopted the boys Juliet found out she was pregnant again, this time with Triplets!!!! They eventually found out that they were having 2 boys and a girl. They named them Callum Alexander, Clementine Josephine, and Christopher James. Callum, Clemmie and Chris are all blonde with green eyes. They are very musically gifted at such a young age and all of them love to run around the house singing with their siblings.
After much consideration and thought Micah and Juliet decided to try to have one more child, they hoped for another girl. Well, they ended up with 4 girls,Charlie and Clemmie were excited to finally have more sisters. The names that they decided on were Chloe Marigold, Cassidy Violet, Caylee Rose and Carlyle Daisy. Chloe, Cassi, Caylee, and Carlie are very happy and healthy little girls who love being cuddled and held all the time. They all have individual personalities. Caylee is very girly, Carlie is very independent, Chloe is alittle bit needy and Cassi is a tomboy who loves playing with her older brothers.
Juliet and Micah decided not to add anymore kids to their family and are very happy with all of their children. They ended up with
Charlotte Grace "Charlie"
Caden Micah "Cade"
Caine Thomas "Caine"
Cassius Anthony "Cash"
Asher Tobias and Jasper Ace "Asher and Jasper"
Callum Alexander, Clementine Josephine, and Christopher James "Callum, Clemmie and Chris"

Alexandra Marie and Dexter Dean
Alex and Dex Wood met when they were both 23 years old. They had a whirlwind romance and married only 4 months after they started dating. They decided not long after that they wanted to start a family and not long after they started trying they found out they were pregnant with a baby girl. Nine months later Calypso Jade was born happy and healthy. Her parents were thrilled to have such a beautiful baby and decided to call her Cali. When Cali was two, Alex started feeling sick and went to the doctor with what she thought was a stomach flu. It turns out that she was pregnant, she ran home and told Dex, who was happy beyond words. That happiness turned to apprehension when they found out that they were expecting triplets boys. Callum Gregory, Callahan George, and Callaway Dexter were born 4 weeks early, but thankfully healthy enough to go home a week after they were born. The triplets are full of life and enjoy pestering their big sister. When Cali was 4 and the boys were 2 Alex found that she was pregnant again with another little girl. Cali was happy to finally have another girl in the house, the boys were happy to have another sister to love and pester like crazy. Calliope Grace was born healthy and happily screaming and never stopped. She loves running around the house with her siblings, screaming her head off until her parents have to sit her down and get her to rest for awhile. Alex and Dex had always wanted a big family and when Cali was 6, the boys were 4 and Opie was 2 they found that they were expecting again. Casper James and Christian John joined the family a few months later. Cas and Chris are very energetic but quiet and shy as well. With 2 girls and 5 boys already, Alex decided that she wanted to try to add another little girl to the family and 9 months later she got her wish when Caycie Rae was born. Caycie is a lovable, happy child who loves being the center of attention with both of her parents, especially her daddy. When Cali was 10, the triplets were 8,Opie was 6, the twins were 4 and Cays was 2, Alex found that she was again pregnant with triplets. Chason Thomas, Cadence Raine, and Cable Wyatt were born early and had to be kept in the hospital for 3 weeks because of some unforseen health issues. Since they had such a traumatic experience with their last preganancy, Dex and Alex decided not to have anymore children, everything was going along as normal until one day Alex became violently ill and had to be rushed to the hospital. There they found that they were pregnant again, this time with 6 babies!! When Cali was 14, Callum, Callahan and Callaway were 12, Opie was 10, Cas and Chris were 8, Cays was 6 and Chase, Cady, and Cable were 4, they were joined by 3 sisters and 3 brothers. Caitlyn Eliza, Caelyn Josephine, Cera Garnet, Caden Dean, Caleb Daniel and Colton Trace were thankfully born healthy and happy and finished out the Wood family very nicely.

Alex and Dex
Calypso Jade "Cali"

Business Startup Wins Award
By Matt Hawkins
December 12, 2013
A startup venture by Bradley senior Shiv Patel brought national recognition in 2013 from the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization as Patel received honorable mention in the organizations' Global Student of the Year competition. The honor marked the first time a Bradley student received the organization's high accolades.
CEO's award recognized Patel's work as co-founder of PrintVersity, a print and design business aimed at college students. It also encouraged him to continue his business startup dreams with academic interests in both business administration and engineering.
"The experience gave me the validation that I could pursue entrepreneurship and not be an engineer my whole life," Patel said. "It gave me courage and motivation to pursue it just by being recognized as an individual."
Additionally, Patel saw his recognition as a way to encourage students from other academic backgrounds to explore entrepreneurship.
"Being an engineering student, it's a great opportunity that I'm able to go out of my comfort zone," he said. "This serves as a vision for students who aren't typical entrepreneurs, so it's a great way to bring them into opportunities.
Dr. Gerald Hills, who founded CEO in the 1980s, noted the award's positive impact on Bradley's academic programs.
"I'm very pleased that Shiv won this award," he said. "This is one piece of evidence that we're having a positive impact on our students. It really reflects well on Bradley and the Turner School. It shows the commonalities across all the departments and colleges."
As a person "always open to embracing new challenges," Patel jumped into business startup planning over the past year and will continue to build PrintVersity in the spring. Patel wants to buck the traditional engineering career path of industry jobs in favor of startups and nonprofits.
"I've always enjoyed the startup scene," Patel said. "Entrepreneurship is key in this economic climate because all the creative companies are merging."
The seemingly distinctive career options converge because of the broad skill set required to succeed in either. As a result, Patel decided his undergrad years would be well-spent taking risks to learn needed lessons before emerging in the professional world.
"We speak two different languages, but in business and engineering, we need to collaborate," he said. "Entrepreneurship is experiential learning. You learn by making mistakes. That's what the college experience is about. It's what I've done the past year taking new classes, meeting new people and trying new things in order to figure out what I want to do."
The cross-curricular entrepreneurship is an example of the Turner School's effort to show entrepreneurship's value to all disciplines.
"The primary underpinning of the Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is to cut across campus and reach students in all the colleges because entrepreneurship isn't really headquartered in one place," Hills said. "It's activity and a way of thinking that permeate campus."

Police search for 2 men after 10-year-old abducted from LA home and assaulted
LOS ANGELES – Police say they are searching for two men who abducted a 10-year-old girl from her Los Angeles bedroom and held her for almost 12 hours before dropping her off at a hospital six miles from her home.
The girl was found with cuts and bruises on her face but police would not confirm reports she was sexually assaulted, MyFoxLA.com reports.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith asked for the public's help in finding the men Thursday, saying they believe strangers took the girl to several locations in different cars. The girl said she did not know the men, Smith said.
She had been awake for much of her ordeal and has been resting and is going to be re-interviewed by detectives in the next few hours, he said. She was recovering at home Thursday afternoon.
In the meantime, more than 20 police officers are canvassing the area's prolific number of surveillance cameras, checking local registered sex offenders, and digging into any possible clues related to the girl's family, acquaintances and Internet contacts.
While parents should be cautious, there are no other serial kidnappings in Los Angeles and such kidnappings are exceedingly rare in the United States.
"Right now we're looking at this as an abduction, a stranger abduction, one of those things that's very, very rare in this country but does happen," Smith said.
Police said one of the men was about 18 years old but released no description of the other.
At the hospital where she was being treated, the girl told investigators the men held her for nine or 10 hours at an abandoned house near her home, Hayes said.
Police believe two vehicles were involved in the abduction and officers have recovered one of them, Hayes said. Investigators have cordoned off several crime scenes including houses and a storage facility in the investigation and manhunt.
"We have a 10-year-old girl that's been traumatized here. She was forcibly taken from her home," Hayes said. "If these individuals are brazen enough to do that, I'm putting all the resources I have to make sure they don't do it again."
The girl's parents reported her missing just before 4 a.m. More than 11 hours later, someone who recognized her from media reports spotted her outside a Starbucks and summoned police officers who happened to be nearby, police Capt. Kris Pitcher said at an earlier news conference.
Police later learned the girl had been dropped at a hospital a few blocks away and had wandered to the area around the coffee shop, Hayes said.
The girl was wearing an oversized white T-shirt and was barefoot when she was found.
Her parents reported that she had been wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with characters from the TV show "Heroes" when they last saw her in her bedroom shortly after midnight, police spokesman Richard French said. When they checked on her a few hours later, she was gone.
There were no clear signs of forced entry into the house, Hayes said, but a gate outside that had been closed was left open and investigators believe the men somehow made their way in through the back of the house.
Police released the girl's name, description and a photo in an urgent campaign seeking the public's help in spotting the child with distinctive long red hair. After she was found, police asked media to stop using the name and photo.
Smith said the request came "due to the confidentiality of her being a juvenile and her being the victim of a serious crime" and at the request of her parents.

Ex-industrial site gets new owners
Former Pitney Bowes facility in Stamford: New owners offering options
STAMFORD -- The new owners of a sprawling vacant commercial complex in Stamford see myriad possibilities for the site and are aggressively marketing it throughout the tri-state region.
Black Iron Stamford, a Fairfield-based partnership between David Waldman, Jeff Quinn, Patrick A. Smith and Kevin Coughlin, has acquired 23 Barry Place from Whisper Capital and Pateley Associates, both based in Greenwich, for $7.1 million.
On 11.77 acres near the Stamford-Greenwich border abutting the Innis Arden golf course, the 194,000-square-foot industrial/flex/back office facility had been leased to Pitney Bowes for more than 25 years before the company vacated about 2 1/2 years ago.
"They renovated it in the late 1980s and took it to Class B office space, We're pretty open to what we can do," said Waldman, a general partner of Black Iron and president of David Adam Realty in Westport.
Quinn is senior vice president of project development services at Jones Lang LaSalle, while Smith is a principal in Staubach Realty, and Coughlin is owner of Saugatuck Construction Group.
The partnership would consider subdividing the complex, razing it for new construction or rebuilding it to accommodate studio production uses that can take advantage of state tax incentives.
"We're talking to a studio group. Forty-foot ceilings would be needed to accommodate a studio," Waldman said.
The building can be used for light industrial, office, warehousing/distribution, telecommunications or television/film production studio purposes, according to Waldman, who said it is located within the Stamford Enterprise Zone and has economic incentives available for select uses.
The site includes a 100-foot water tower that can be used for cell tower equipment, repeaters and signs.
"We've received interest from a number of (studio) groups. It would be an ideal use," said Jay Hruska, executive vice president at the Stamford Cushman & Wakefield office, which has been contracted to represent the property that was built in 1939 for Northam Warren, manufacturer of Cutex brand nail polishes and polish remover.
"It also provides office or flex space at a fraction of the cost of back-office space," Hruska said. It rents at a single-digit net number -- less than $10 per square foot. There's a high office vacancy rate in Stamford, but this isn't conventional office space."
David Adam Realty will manage the property.
The purchase price allows the new owners to offer space at an affordable price, said Laure Aubuchon, Stamford's director of economic development.
"They can be pretty aggressive in their pricing," she said, comparing the property to the former Clairol site in Stamford, which has been converted into the home of NBC Sports and Chelsea Piers Connecticut. "Look at how successful (developers) Clay Fowler and Steve Wise were. They took a real gamble. This (23 Barry Place) is a big chunk of space. There are real possibilities there."

Looking Down - Laying Down The G-Floor
Clean up your garage
In so many words, this compact garage space sucked. It's a little on the small side, and well, look at it. It was mainly used for hoarding junk; so making it pretty wasn't really anybody's top priority. Most of the old crap that littered the garage was sold off at a yard sale, and it was time to reclaim the unused space, and actually put it to use.
We came across these cool RaceDay Peel and Stick flooring tiles from G-Floor. Not only would the flooring treatment look way better than the beat up concrete slab, but the tiles will provide a cushion to fight against fatigue, reduce noise, insulate, and the Diamond Tread pattern helps keep dirt on the garage floor, and not tracked into the house. Sounds good to us—let's get to work!

Heyward wears protective mask
The Atlanta Braves activated outfielder Jason Heyward from the disabled list, and he'll wear a special face mask to protect his jaw when he bats leadoff Friday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs.
Article continues below ...
Heyward had been sidelined for a month after his right jaw was broken by a pitch from New York Mets left-hander Jon Niese on Aug. 21.
Heyward will wear the mask on the right side of his batting helmet. He'll also play in center field on Friday. The plan calls for him to play five innings or get three at-bats, whichever comes first.
Heyward says he's "not going to be as good today as I will be in five days. But you have to start the process sometime."

$300 million
To deflect criticism about the fatal attack on the U.S. ambassador to Libya, the Obama campaign has accused GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan of proposing to cut $300 million from the budget for embassy security. As Vice President Joe Biden put it in his debate with Ryan, "the congressman here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for." But there was no such reduction in Ryan's budget, which didn't specify a funding level for embassies. Instead, the figure was derived by the Obama campaign by assuming across-the-board cuts to all discretionary programs based on the overall spending caps the budget proposed. That's quite a stretch, especially considering how Republicans have sought to cut social programs in order to maintain spending on security-related needs.

Wizards Sign A.J. Price
July 24, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has signed free agent guard A.J. Price. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.
"A.J. is an experienced and dependable player who fits in well with the mix of proven veterans and young players we have on our roster," said Grunfeld. "Adding him will help to bring depth to our backcourt rotation."
Price (6-1, 185) holds career averages of 6.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 150 games over three seasons with Indiana. He was originally selected by the Pacers in the second round (52nd overall) of the 2009 NBA Draft out of the University of Connecticut. Price averaged 3.9 points and 2.0 assists in 44 games last season. He has appeared in nine career playoff games, averaging 4.9 points (including 8.4 points over five games during the 2011 NBA Playoffs).

If tiamat were to become his teacher, it'd be pretty awkward lmao. (this is on the assumption of others saying that she's a tsundere towards Ddraig) She would be teaching Ise how to control his dragonafication, while most likely trying to get closer to Ddraig. Meanwhile Ise would probably be getting perverted thoughts about her human form(with Ddraig listening to them).
Also, as someone stated earlier, I believe in this thread or the Latest Release & Character Discussion thread~~ "Tiamat will become Ise's Queen" If Tiamat were to become his Queen, that'd be a little op don't you think? She's the strongest of all the Dragon Kings. With Ise being a Heavenly Dragon already, I believe his team would already be a little op.

Well Issei's future team is going to be very OP. Dragons attract beings with power whether it be in the form of foes or friends, In Issei's case he has attracted very strong foes and friends. Chances are that Issei's group will even more OP then Rias and Sairaorg groups.

Hmm. But still, If his consciousness was revived, so should his power right? Vitra is a dragon king, a Tech type. You'd think it would be strong enough to be in the longinus categories. Well, tbh, not untill Saji has more control over it at least

Also I'd between how Saji was able keep Vritra's dragon form under control in vol. 12 on his own and the way he fought those rogue Magicians in vol. 14 in his human form I'd say Saji has Vritra's under control.

Well, nothing is impossible in dxd now LOL, and even Azazel stated that there are chance that new Longinus(es) may appear. but of course, for Saji's Sacred Gear to become one, it would have to take some drastic change such as he sees Sona being struck down and then he goes berserk => New Longinus (?).
Well, these are all just hypotheses LOL

However who knows Saji's SG may eventually endup being in an entirely new class of SG as well. Azazel said they couldn't duplicated what they did with Saji and Vritra however I'm thinking they might be able to somewhat imitate if he could combine a couple dragon SG with a normal dragon inside a soul jewel.

A thought I just had was maybe they used some of the power they stole from Ophis to revive Grendel. They probably got the idea after hearing how Ise was revived.

Well there is also Rias other nickname "Crimson Bust Princess" although it was only used once. I wonder what Akeno's joke title will be and will she mind the name like Rias and the other girls?
That's a really good theory.
But the problem is I think that Cao Cao and the Hero Faction stole Ophis's power for their own plans and not for KB's. Why would they leave that power in a place so that KB could use it ? I think that power is hidin away somewhere unknown to the KB and wil most likely be used when and if the Cao Cao and the other return.

So it's possible that, even though the Hero Fraction has hidden the stolen power from Ophis, Sakra knew about the location, where the power was transfered, and after he has sent the Hero fraction members to hell, he has told the KB where to find the power that has been stolen from Ophis...

Wouldn't Sakra just keep that power for himself ?
According to spoiler Sakra seems to preparing to go to war with Shiva. So would it be more beneficial for him to keep that power for himself and later possibly use to aid him in his war with Shiva?
Also isn't a bit to dangerous for him to do something like him assisting the KB ? I mean after the whole thing in volume 12, quite a few people know about his connection with Hades and Cao Cao. So it is likely many other powers are keeping on eye on him and his activities. So doing something like assisting the KB, would not be a good idea at this time.

I hope dxd gets like 50+ novels, and Ise being married to Rias and the another important girls that represent the kingdoms, for example:
Rias, demonic Empire Gremory,
Akeno, fallen angels, Grigori's.
Irina, heaven.
Kunou, Youkais
Ophis, Dragons.
Rossweisse, Asgard
Harem represent the union from the kingdoms, maybe the vampire kingdoms also join the harem.

Rias is the little sister of a Maou, the onwer of the Sekiryuutei, and the next head of the Gremory. Akeno is the daughter of Barakiel, the Vice-Governor of Grigori.
Irina is a direct subordinate of the Angel Elder, Michael. Kunou is the daughter of Yasaka. Rossweisse was a guard and attendant of the Norse God, Odin.
Ophis is the Dragon God, nuff said. And then there is also the fact that Rias and the girls are women that belong to the Sekiryuutei.

A temporary suspension of the U.S. debt ceiling expires on May 19, but the Treasury Department should be able to borrow for several more months by employing unusual cash management tools.
Continue Reading Below
The department believes these tools and surprisingly strong government revenues should allow it to keep paying the nation's bills into September, staving off for a time the specter of a potentially devastating debt default.
Indeed, many private forecaster now believe the debt limit will not become binding until some time in October, in part due to sizable bailout payments from mortgage finance firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The cash infusion will provide the government more room to operate.
The Treasury is likely to start taking steps that will hold off default in the coming days.
Following are some of the measures the Treasury has employed in the past and will likely use this time around to free up borrowing capacity once the temporary suspension of the U.S. debt limit expires.
The Treasury has the authority to suspend sales of State and Local Government Series securities - known as ``slugs'' - which are special low-interest Treasury securities offered to state and local governments to temporarily invest proceeds from municipal bond sales. Slugs, which count against the debt limit, have been suspended several times over the last 20 years to avoid hitting the debt ceiling. Taking this action allows Treasury to issue less debt. The bonds account for about $4 billion to $17 billion of the government's debt issuance per month.
The Treasury may suspend investments in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, a government employee pension funds and redeem existing Treasury securities held by that fund as investments. By law, the fund must be made whole upon a debt limit increase.
To give the government more time to pay its bills, Treasury can suspend reinvestments in another federal employee pension fund known as the G-Fund. Normally the money market-like retirement fund reinvests its entire balance daily into special-issue Treasury securities that count against the debt limit. Halting reinvestments would instantly claw back some borrowing capacity, but the Treasury must replenish the fund with any lost earnings once a debt limit impasse ends. Federal retirees and employees would be unaffected by this action.
The Treasury could dip into this seldom-used fund earmarked to stabilize currency rates and access the dollar balance to avoid debt issuance. Created during the Great Depression to contribute to exchange rate stability, the fund was used in March 2011 when Group of Seven nations intervened to halt a surge in the yen after Japan was struck by an earthquake. It was also employed as a backstop to guarantee money market mutual funds during the financial crisis from September 2008 to September 2009. The Treasury would not have to restore lost interest earnings to the fund.
The Treasury could cut issuance of longer-term government debt and rely more heavily on short-term cash management bills to gain more day-to-day control over debt outstanding. Cash management bills are typically issued for days, compared to normal Treasury bill maturities of four weeks to one year. However, this is unlikely to buy much time and officials are wary of making any major shifts in the Treasury's debt issuance calendar, which could upset markets.
Treasury secretaries in the past have halted sales of U.S. savings bonds to the public during debt limit impasses, but the Treasury said in the latest 2011 debt limit impasse that this would be of little or no benefit. It would not free up borrowing authority and it would only prevent small amounts of new debt from being issued.
The Federal Financing Bank can issue up to $15 billion in debt on behalf of other government agencies that is not subject to the debt limit. So the Treasury could exchange FFB debt for other debt to reduce the total amount subject to the limit.
However, the Treasury did not elect to use this measure in the most recent impasse, saying it was of little use because of the very small amounts of obligations available for exchange.
