Rurouni Kenshin Part III: The Legend Ends BD+DVD
The final Kenshin film finds success in its terrific action, even if the trilogy is starting to look a little long in the tooth. ― Film trilogies are a tricky thing. It's relatively easy to make a single film with a coherent story - when a single work both introduces and concludes all of a story's narrative variables, you can create a sense of tight congruity throughout. But when a story is split acr...

Answerman - Is Subway Groping Really A Big Deal In Japan?
Sexual assault on subway cars is depicted in anime quite often (most recently in Scum's Wish) but how big a problem is it really in Japan? Justin explains. ― Strongman Lin asks: In a fair number of anime (e.g. Scum's Wish, Ore Monogatari), female characters get molested by creepers on the subway. Is this really such a prevalent problem in Japan? And if it is, in the instances of it that I've seen in...

If you prefer your beefcake a little more well-done than the baby-faced teens we usually get in anime, these dashing dads are sure to leave you swooning with their worldly charms. ― Attractive teenagers are par for the course in anime, with the occasional sexy office worker thrown in for variety, but handsome older men, especially older men with kids, is a much narrower and under-appreciated type of...

Plus Size Sports Bras from Bits of Lace fit and feel like a dream. Active women will enjoy this selection of Plus Size Sports Bras that support a large bust and minimize movement while practicing any level of exercise impact. Our selection of Plus Size Sports Bras will embrace your curves and create a shapely appearance. The fabric selection is designed to wick sweat away from the body almost immediately to keep you cool and dry.
Our Plus Size Sports Bras are made of high quality components and sure to make an excellent addition to any size woman's fine lingerie collection. A necessity for any active woman, especially for women of a larger bust size, is the timeless Plus Size Sports Bra. With seamless tailoring, maximum breathability and a larger cup size, these bras are a must have for the more curvaceous woman seeking a premium exercise.
Designed for extra support to minimize breast movement during physical activity and prevent discomfort, Sports Bras are ideal for any workout routine, whether it is a set of tennis, jogging at the park or at the gym. These bras are a necessity for any woman seeking a less tense workout without the risk of strain or damage to the ligaments of the chest. Available in three reliable styles, including: Maximum support, firm support and Light support, there is a sports bra for every woman at Bits of Lace. When sports bras first came out it was thought that compressing the breast close to the body was more effective than encapsulating it inside of a molded cup. This has been disproved, thus most have a cup that encompasses the breast and supports them instead of pushing them down. Some women still prefer the compression types due to the fact that they reduce the curvature and cleavage of the breast during movement.
With exceptional comfort and durability, these bras are the perfect addition to your physical fitness routine, as well as your closet. Providing support during physical activities and enduring every day wear be sure these bras are made to last. The latest research has shown that wearing a sports bra during exercise protects stretching of the bust by limiting breast movement. Scientists have proven breast is not a muscle and therefore cannot be returned to its original firmness through exercise, thus wearing the proper bra when exercising is strongly advised.

Lurking only
(My last post on FR came out about half napalm, and none of you really need or deserve that...)
Good Morning All and thank you AB for your usual superlative Sunday morning thread.
Thanks for the ping but of a hectic few days as dad been in hospital after bad nose bleed and needed 2 units of blood. Thankfully back home again and am looking forward to the thread today.
Speaking of SOS, doesn't Hillary still have a private army of contractors in Iraq? I thought it was about 10,000 but being increased to 20,000 when Barry got out of Iraq. Couldn't any of those people have gotten to Benghazi while the shooting was still going on?
(There's a lesson to be learned here; if Barry Obama and his admin had ever watched a classic Western where the US Cavalry showed up just in time, maybe they would have thought of that. Too bad Barry's White House Choom gang thinks that Bareback Mountain is what Westerns look like.)
We sincerely hope your dad is OK snugs. Great to have you aboard.
If they chose Suzan Rice they would only have to generate one teleprompter speech for both ozero and rice. It would be very cost effective!
Also, its difficult to find anyone in govt. at her level that is stupid enough to repeat the same lie five times on five different networks and actually look as if she believed it!
The only one I can think of who is absolutely as dumb as her is Joe Biden! Look where he wound up!
All right, where's the bray?
Morning AB, ALL
...no singing this morning, went to church yesterday, staying home today to enjoy yon company, quiet and presence with husband.
Did I tell y'all about my $42,000?
In due course. Meanwhile, thank you AB for doing this thread, as always, dependably and reliably.
I have been following Benghazi with concentration and , as expected, I've some thoughts.
And I don't know just what's going to come of it all.
I am, of course, way beyond "thinking" the administration lied about the riot thing, come on, I got common sense way beyond the Beltway crowd. It's obvious Obama and Jarrett changed the whole narrative of the Benghazi events and if you want to talk to me about it do not even return to anything beyond that acknowledged lie.
For all week the various talking heads have been called upon to give their assessment of administration lies. Lessee, there's been Jindal, Chuckie Schumer, Sherrod Brown, Joan Rivers, Micky Mouse .at one point they even asked Snookie of Jersey shore for her theory!
Some questions to ponder .did the administration just sit back and watch those people die?
Who are all those people evacuated from the annex, where are they, why don't we get a translator, call them in, and find out what the hell happened? Some 40+ people evacuated from the CIA annex and no one's talked yet to any of them?
What is Obama guilty of? At best, one might saythe administration is guilty of hapless performance.
At worst .what? Could this have been a planned event, could the "riot" have been arranged to allow a break in and removal of those prisoners for .oh I dunno, a nice big contribution through the Holy land charities to the Obama campaign?
Further, is this Benghazi thing impeachable? If so, will the congress do it? If not, why bother, why the hell bother?
In reference to my fabulous $42,000 that fell right from the sky into my lap, I happened to speak to a financial person Friday and she was way wise.
I chose to invest my sudden wealth in the stock market although I agonized for almost a week about it.
I did, of course, buy me some new clothes and gave my daughter some cause, hey, the money fell right outta the sky, more on this later.
Am interested in Benghazi theories as this always makes good Freep threads.
Saying a prayer for Dad, Snugs.
Glad to see you back. I'm making something with shrimp but know not what. Am open to ideas.
About my $42,000 ..it's just an anecdote but in a lot of ways I had to face issues caused by this recent election and I really did have some angst.
In 1968 (yes, that long ago), I began a job working for Western Electric in Baltimore Merryland. I worked there through 1982 (this tiny fact is important) at which point WE was broken up by part of mighty AT&T and was phasing down.
WE paid for my college degree (do companies today offer tuition refund any more?) and I hung on for 15 years cause they said I had to to get a pension.
Now I knew there was a pension allegedly waiting for me from WE .which is now, pay close attention, ALCATEL. Used to be Lucent Technologies and before that Western Electric, okay, that detail now elaborated upon.
Through the years I would get these statements saying when I "retired" I would get about $500 or so a month. Well I liked that fact but after I had quadruple bypass surgery the SS sent me a note, to the effect that I had a possible pension payer out there, which was then, Lucent Technologies, that I should contact them. I was 57 years old at the time.
So I DID contact them as instructed but they said they do not pay for disability retirement so okay, but they got my new address in Delaware, my new name, all that .
Heck, I re-married three times since my WE days, plus moved to a new state, yada, yada.
So one day in mid-August I get this letter ."you now have the option of choosing a lump sum for your retirement from Alcatel (which they are now) and if you do, your lump sum payment would be $41,987.32.
Well this suited me just fine though I'd believe it when I see it.
..more later...got some things to say about the, eh, Sun day morning talk shows.
I tried the soup and it was delicious! Snugs, hope your dad is doing well.
Next week may be Black Friday but sweets lovers across the nation hung their heads in sorrow on a dark Friday yesterday as Hostess announced they would cease making their line of products, which include the iconic Twinkies brand, because of the Bakers Union Strike.
[just turned it on]
Seems like Wallace is implying that the new talkingpoints/narrative is that the WH used 'other stories' [movie, etc.] so as not to tip off the terrorists.
Here's my question about Israel, and it's the question I think every Republican should be asking, publicly, loudly, over and over....
Anybody remember Arafat?
If the pubs/opposition party had some kind of power they'd be able to make their case but it's the same old story.
What has Israel done to the Gaza strip that they have a right to lob rockets over the borders?
Come on.....WE NEED BETTER PR/Spokesnoids on these matters.
Saxby Chamblis talking about Petreaus testimony: Knew from day one it was a terrorist attack. References to Alkida and "attack" were removed by "somebody"
Susan Rice will have to come in and testify before the committee.
Lieberman: Whether or not it was a demonstration is interesting but not important. What is important is why the facility was left undefended.
Have boycotted the news and politics while I try to get over losing our Country. Besides, not interested in the sex story to deflect Binghazi from the messiah.
On a brighter note, I defeated the Country club in our county yesterday and won the Chairmanship. This is a major defeat to the Establishment in Oregon and a win for the Tea Party.
Now we the grassroots have a real say in how things are done. Already got my first phone call explaining why we have to drop the social issues and he soon found out he called the wrong person.
I will be back after Thanksgiving while I organize our grassroots effort. People were calling and saying this was the best day's of their year. Pretty exciting.
Pray for America
If with the newest version of WH talkingpoints, Lieberman questions where and why regarding the security. Where was security and support and why was the Benghazi compound so unprotected?
Diane Feinstein defending the WH and Rice.
Congratulations, and thank you for putting your foot down.
We need good conservative leadership like this in every state.
So ---- just who declassified the story that there had been a spontaneous demonstration???
Was that a classified lie until it was declassified and then became a declassified lie.
Wow....Feinstein is spinning in such circles, she makes no sense.
the CIA narrative was right, the only difference was one word, but the narrative was changed...HUH? We're going to find out who made changes....says Feinstein, but there were no changes...HUH?
she is brilliant that she says intelligence should be connected to policy and the security.DUH.
thank heavens we have a conservative on there ( Mike rogers?).
Now she has gone on and on about the long tours...Hey,
it' s Obama.
a new lie everyday. new liars every other day
What I had to go thru to get that lump sum payout is almost a sin.
Had to send in to get secret password to sign on that I'm interested, packet will come.
Packet came .one quadrillion papers to fill out...husband to sign notorized form agreeing that he'll give up any pension death benefits, sign here, certified marriage c ertific ate...got from Annapolis Merryland, my birth certificate...on and on and on.
Meanwhile I hear out the side of my head that Obama plans to take over all American pension benefits being held overseas-Alcatel is now a FRENCH company. I'm freaking.
And the French, folks, are boobs .sheesh .terrible time doing this.
Then I must get a rollover account AHEAD of time or Alcatel will withold some $8,000 from my payout so did that, bank gets all cornfused.
"You will get your check by 10/16/12 if you fill out the forms right. If you donj't then no check and Alcatel will NOT return any papers."
So I did then forgot to sign paper verifying I do NOT owe child support anywhere .as an aside, THIS is a fine example where we have private businesses policiing the social laws and how big a pain it is. "You must return this with postmarked by 9/16 or you don't get your money".
Well I received this on .9/15! A Saturday! No way I could get it postmarked on that date but I figger, okay, since 9/16 is a weekend day, I got till Monday right?
So comes 10/16...NO CHECK!
I throw up arms .I knew it wouldn't happen. I was hoping for what would not happen.
THEN, outta the blue, somebody from the ALCATEL calls me up "We are very sorry, we should have processed your check, we will process it by 11/16". Actually TWO people from Alcatel called me up, I don't know why, both said same thing. And since it was THEIR mistake, they would give me an extra month's interest.
Still I would believe when I see.
Last week bank calls me "your money's in". AND I did get that extra month's interest, heh, check was for $42,015.37.
All day, folks, all damn day at the bank, signing this check, signing that, signing papers, how to invest rollover, I want one thousand bucks cash ..which I got but wasn't easy.
More on cash and husband's input coming up ...
This whole subtext of Lurch v. Rice for State, with McCrisis and King pulling for Lurch, is just Bizzaro World.
Doing a terrible job...cause she can't defend it! ha.
spinning in circles...she should be falling out of her chair with the spinning...looks like a scene out of the Excorcist movie.ha.
Jindal whacking out about Romney's vote buying comments, saying Republicans don't need to be insulting the voters...being "the stupid party"...need people to like us.
I suppose he has a point, but I think Romney is right.
Jindal talking about being the party of private sector growth and massive tax reform. We don't need two liberal parties.
What position were you elected for?
Jindal clip: We gotta stop saying stupid things.
[Reference to Romney's claim that he last because of all the Obama givaways.]
Jindal: We are not the party of big ...
ABC Schadenfreudtastic Moment: Martha Raddatz interviewing Im A-man-pour, on the roof of some hotel in Tel Aviv. Not even a year ago! it was the other way around..."So, Christine, your buttprint is still in this chair..."
Gov Jindal, new head of Republican Governors Assn - interview summary with Chris Wallace: capitulation!
There is no hope left for Republican leadership. They do not acknowledge that such a word exists in the English language.
Lindsay Graham doing a good job dismantling Feinstein and Rogers [wimp Republican] previous interview.
Huge congrats. Grass roots is where it will need to be.
This explains why MSM reporters were having tea in the outdoor cafe with the self-admitted Benghazi terrorists before the Obama Admin. admitted they exist.
It was a pretty amazing scene really. Gave an excellent speech and then the establishment puppet got up and said me too plus a Mormon nobody knew but said we needed to drop the social issues (abortion) and stay with fiscal.
I had 94 votes and they had 33 and 67 but since I didn't have a majority we had a runoff and gave us 60 seconds. The establishment had the pro-choice come up and endorse her.
So the Country Club who had claimed I was pro-choice went in with someone wanting to drop life and marriage to defeat the Tea Party candidate. I ended up winning 112 to 80.
Pray for my leadership
Jindal and Walker both opted out of the ObamaCare exchanges, so did many other states including Maine.
Why is worthless Woodward even allowed on FOX?
Yeah, he did a great job.
Oh God, now here comes Nasal Andrea Mitchell..MAJOR FACELIFT!
(but that didn't help her brain.)
Washington County Chairman. We have the most Republicans in Oregon. We are going to take it to the belly of the beast.
Get it? This Week? Get it?
Anyhoo, the takeaway is that apparently Bobo is dog-ona-bone for Rice, and the GOP+BlueDog Senate (and apparently a shitton of the Beltway) wants Lurch, and is threatening to Benghazi her confirmation hearings PLUS a filibuster.
Given that the Petraeus issue is still news, with more to come out, if this had been reveled BEFORE the election, Obama may very well have lost. Thanks for nothing, Gen P...
Okay, since yon reader has endured my story, let me throw in a bit of Women's Lib just to add some balance.
This is the last entry on this matter, thank you for indulging me.
So I give my daughter $150 out of my windfall. Lookit, I gave it to her, right there, outta my hand, just gave it to her, yes I did. Well actually I transferred it into her account cause she'd just moved, she gets up at 4 am every day to take her license-less husband to work, must also take kid, works hard....and she's my daughter.
$150 bucks folks, out of my $42K.
Well it'll be more than that but I digress.
Husband chances to see the transfer on bank statement, asks what is, I tell truth.
Argument ensues...I shouldn't give her money, don't get my nephew a gift for Christmas, so Kaitlyn got straight A's (Kaitlyn is granddaughter)...in his home getting straight A's was the norm.
You know, it's how arguments go, one thing to another to another. My daughter is NOT my husband's child though he helped raise her since she was 12. They had a falling out long time ago, goodness when she was 15 she shouted to him that he was NOT her father....all of 15, imagine that...and still he holds it against her. She's now 35.
Whatever....finally I pulled out the big gun. And women's lib or not, go to hell....here's the facts. I worked at ersatz ALCATEL from 1968 through 1983 or so. I married my husband in 1988.
IT's MY money, I told husband, though I emphasoze now that I didn't initially think of it that way, I did consider it OUR money, such as it is, the thought of his and ours didn't, at first, enter my head.
But he's griping about me slipping my kid $150?
Oh yes I did, I pointed out how the hell he thought he had a right to tell me what to do with MY money, and further, if I wanted to I could give the entire amount to my daughter, a court of law would take my size for funds I earned some six years before I ever met the man.
HE, of course, launched into a litany of how much money HE brought in, which he had a handsome 401K but facts are facts, his 401K came from Sears from a matching program they had. AND HE NEVER PARTICIPATED IN THAT PROGRAM UNTIL....hold your breath folks, HE MARRIED ME!
In other words I was picking up the deducts from his salary through MY salary and he earned every dime of it while married to me...which was, of course, the plan. And I made, every year I worked, DOUBLE what he made, just so's you know I sure did do my share, bringing home the bacon and y'all know I cook it up in a pan.
Not quite the same thing and I never took any of this 401K money and gave it to my daughter or would I without telling him.
Further, I was rolling over my pension and HE would be named my beneficiary (I am beneficiary of his money and I respect our marriage). I rolled over $35,000 and I won that argument about whose money it was and the stupid arguing about a minute $150.
Which is why I managed to get $1,000 cash out of the Alcatel check which husband does not know about, which I might give a big chunk to daughter for Christmas sorry I got to be so sneaky but I just want to share with my daughter, who was THERE the whole time I worked at WE, who got taken to the babysitter every morning so I could work there, sometimes at 3am in the morn.
Anyway, that's my story.
It's MY money and the big lug should have kept his selfish mouth shut.
I still love him and know that I can have money any time I want but he doesn't like to give my daughter anything.
It's an old wound but hey, again, it's MY money.
Goddamn, 39 minutes in at ABC, FINALLY George Will gets to raise Clinton name's in connection with offices that require resignation for moral failings. OMG the hypocrisy from the Democrats on this. And wow did Raddatz change the subject post haste...
Wallace wondering where is Hitlary?
She claimed responsibility for Bengazigate from somewhere in South America, and has been awol ever since. Will she have to testify?
Woodward wondering "what did Susan Rice know, and when did she know it?" Clever bastard. Doesn't think it is yet time for "Watergate style hearings"
Now I know why he was on the panel.

Two years ago I was approached by Children Special Services to participate in a study conducted by Michigan State's first-year medical school students. The study entailed meeting with two first-year medical students about once every two months. We talked about my condition, how I live my life and my medical treatment. The two medical students were very nice and very interested in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and the lifestyle that comes with living with it.
This is something I still do today, and I love doing it. It helps me educate first-year med students and spread the word about PH in my own community. My hope is that one of the medical students may graduate from medical school and want to specialize in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and further the research for a cure.

Fridays in my grandmother's kitchen.� Try as she would to keep the customs of her home country, we grandkids spent every waking minute dragging her into the present.� But she had us beat on Fridays.� Her customary fare was meatless.� And long before pizza became the ubiquitous American offering, we had our own take-out right at her kitchen door.� Who could resist?
She'd start the dough from scratch in the morning, its aroma as it rose perfuming the air.� By the time we got home from school, she was adding the toppings – usually tomatoes from her garden that she had lovingly "put up" back in September.� There were torn leaves of fresh oregano and basil, from the pots on her pantry windowsill, scattered lightly over the top. (She never chopped them with a knife, just tore them so they didn't bruise.)� And a drizzle of olive oil, the one in the gold can, because it was the only brand available.� (I still use it today.)� Cheese� topping was rare.� Fresh mozzarella, she reasoned, should be eaten WITH the pizza not ON it; it was made to eat fresh, without heat.
But during the Lenten season, we were required to taste something else to go with her pizza.� Lentils.� Gosh, they looked awful.� But, we didn't care, because, first we smelled them.� And the combination of garlic and tomatoes and olive oil was seductive.� And the texture was so soft and creamy.� True comfort food, warming the insides after the brisk walk home from school.
As we grew older, we brought friends home on Friday afternoons.� Her warm, colorful kitchen was open to everyone who wanted pizza.� And everyone did.� Lentils were just part of the atmosphere.� Sometimes, she changed it up.� Keeping the menu still meatless, she'd bake fresh bread – today's trendy ciabatta, although she only called it pane, bread.� And ladle out bowls of small tubular pasta and chickpeas laced with those sunsoaked flavors – tomatoes and garlic and basil and olive oil.� And you'd be enticed by it.� Enthralled, enough to ask for seconds.
PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Makes 6 to 8 servings
Here, I've described my grandmother's method of cooking this classic Southern Italian dish.� The garlic and onion are used and flavoring and removed.� One garlic clove is added for flavoring, and once again removed before serving.� This way the dish does not scream of garlic:� the aroma and flavor of garlic is supposed to be subtle, not overwhelming.
1/3 cup olive oil
1 thick slice onion
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup peeled, seeded, chopped fresh tomatoes or canned Italian plum tomatoes with their juice
salt, fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 large can chick peas, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup small tubular pasta
3 to 4 each fresh oregano and basil leaves, to taste
fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus some extra olive oil, to taste
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.� Add the onion and garlic.� Saute gently until each turns golden, about 5 minutes.� Remove from the pot and reserve 1 clove of the garlic; discard the rest. Turn the heat down to low; add tomatoes, salt and pepper.� Cook until the liquid thickens somewhat, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the chick peas and 1 cup hot water.� Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add 1 clove of the reserved garlic to the pot. While the chick peas cook, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta, about 1 minute short of the time given on the package directions.� Drain and stir into the pot with the chick peas and tomatoes mixture.� Stir in a few torn oregano and/or basil leaves.� Allow the soup to sit for about 5 minutes.� Remove the garlic cloves.� Taste for salt and pepper.� Ladle into warmed bowls and top with the cheese and a sprinkling of olive oil.

W 1400 Diagrip™ is our professional concrete diamond blade serie developed for our wall saws. These are top-performing blades that can tackle all types of concrete. The Diagrip technology delivers superior cutting capacity, longer life and a smooth, rapid cut. The series includes low-noise blades.
3.8 mm thick blades developed for low powered electric saws.
To enable close cuts to a wall (flush cutting), the blades can be ordered with various hole patterns.
All 900 mm blades have a 5,0 mm wide segment as standard, enabling efficient pre-cuts. Blades over 1000 mm have a narrower segment.
A three-layer sandwich blade core halves the perceived noise level compared to solid core.
The revolutionary Diagrip™ technology ensures an optimal 3D diamond distribution. The result is superior cutting capacity, longer life and a smooth, rapid cut throughout the life of the blade.
Helps the blade to retain the shape ensuring superior cutting speed and maximum utilisation of the full segment height.
The design of the segment provides a reduced contact surface in the concrete. This gives a quick start in a controlled manner, when applying a new blade.
The notch design of the segments provides efficient cooling of the blade, and evacuates the abrasive slurry.
This extensive series covers most applications, and customised tools can be arranged upon request.
Low active cutting surface resulting in reduced friction loss together with evenly distributed cutting edges and diamond crystals for best performance.

Glenn Hecht
Department of Defense, Director, Personnel Recovery PolicySummary: A complete pleasure and total learning opportunity. The time Ambassador Ray took to first educate, then teach me on the best ways to build trust and unity among parties who historically dislike or distrust each other are what make me a success today. I will cherish his mentorship throughout the remainder of my professional career and for the rest of my life.
David Ellis
Charles Ray, Principal DirectorSummary: Working with Charles Ray has been an extremely rewarding experience. I have learned more about leadership and managment from him than any other leader in my career. This has been my best assignment in the military primarily because I had the honor to work for Ambassador Ray.
Julius H. Smith
United States Army, chief, Past Conflicts Repatriations BranchSummary: ABM Charles Ray is the best Leader I have worked ever for!
Michael Keller
U.S. Department of State, Economic/Commercial OfficerSummary: I enjoyed Ambassador Ray's ability to set the tone and vision of the Embassy. I enjoyed even more his rare ability to then let us do our jobs while still staying in touch with us. He knew who we were and what we were doing without micromanaging us.

Hello Charles better late than never I want to thank you for accepting the friend invite.Hope everything is going ok with you. Have a safe and bless one.
I've read a number of good books recently on leadership. One of the best was "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. I also like Warren Bennis' "Managing People is Like Herding Cats."

Thank you for your service and our freedom, I do not take that for granted. I read your article on Leadership in the global world and found it very insightful. The kind of leadership that you are talking about comes from a book called Coaching For Improved Workplace Performance. It is one of the books that were recommended to me by the former CEO of Jack In The Box. It simply states that a leaders job is to do whatever possible to remove the impediments of the team. Success is not measured by ones own accomplishment, but by the accomplishments of the team. The young Sergeant that you speak of reminds me of the Marines' Chesty Puller. At the battle of the Chosen Reservoir he was surrounded on all sides; instead of panic he said great, then any direction I aim I am sure to hit one of them! Uncommon valor was a common virtue. What leadership books would you say have had the most impact on your life? I look forward to reading your book soon.
Reference the previous comment, glad to do so, but am already friend of rmyers. Not sure how to accomplish the request in this comment. Help!

great to meet new friends :)
Mainly because the Japanese and the Okinawans want them out. They have been a sore point in our bilateral relations since the reversion of Okinawa - especially the Marines, I'm sad to say. This is part of the general retrenchment in the Pacific. Most people out there don't really want us, until they are in trouble.

The Bed Bug & Dust Mite ERADICATOR Refill Gallon is a non-toxic, bio-degradeable formula that eradicates all strains of bed bug infestations, even those immune to the toxic pesticide chemicals (usually Pyrethroids, which are a synthetic Pyrethrum and a neurotoxin). Bed bugs, dust mites, lice and other critters are eliminated on contact thanks to the ERADICATOR's special, green formula. This jug is to refill the Bed Bug & Dust Mite Eradicator Spray or Travel Safe Spray.
While highly effective, the ERADICATOR contains no chemical pesticides, making the product safe to use generously around children and pets.
Eradicator is also effective against household pests such as fleas, ticks, scabies, and chiggers.
How it Works
ERADICATOR is a specially formulated product that naturally attacks the exoskeleton of bed bugs, dust mites, and other household insects. Eradicator begins to work immediately when the product contacts the exoskeleton of the adult bed bugs or their microscopic nymphs. The product's active ingredients react violently with the insects' exoskeleton, causing immediate immobilization then death. Because it is biodegradable, ERADICATOR may be sprayed liberally on all surfaces where bed bugs or dust mites may be found.

Built in 1833, Alton houses Illinois' first state penitentiary. During the Civil War, the facility imprisoned thousands of Confederate soldiers. Partial remains of the structure can still be observed today.
Confederate Cemetery and Memorial
This monument remembers those who died in the infamous Alton prison. A smallpox virus spread rapidly through the Alton Prison in 1863, killing more than 1,435 incarcerated soldiers. The soldiers are laid to rest here and each of their names is commemorated at the Memorial. The Alton Prison and Confederate Cemetery are some of the rare northernmost monuments to the Confederate Soldier.
The final debate of Stephan A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln took place in front of Alton's city hall at the corner of Broadway and Market Streets. The senatorial debate drew national attention along with more that 6,000 visitors. Life-like statues of the two statesmen keep the famous series of debates in 1858 frozen forever in time.
This monument memorializes Elijah P. Lovejoy, whose work and death in Alton gave him a place in history for the abolition of slavery. During the slavery era, Elijah Lovejoy was a pastor who wrote anti-slavery editorials so controversial he became an object of hatred by slaveholders. Despite threats to his life, he continued his anti-slavery writings in the Alton Observer, even after three of his printing presses were thrown into the Mississippi River. It was this persistence that led an angry pro-slavery mob to attack and kill him in 1837.

Steve Kornacki PONDERS the possibility that the current veep might try to become the oldest person ever to take the oath of office as president:
In a column this week, Ezra Klein hailed Joe Biden�s �heavyweight� credentials as a campaigner, dealmaker and talent evaluator, and touted him as a 2016 White House contender.
In theory, there should be nothing noteworthy about that last part. Biden is a sitting vice president in a second-term administration; he should be a natural prospect to run for the top job in the next election � something, he�s made clear, that he�s interested in doing. ...
