They had finished teaching a life-saving class, did some work, skinny dipped in the pool together and then taken a shower where they intimately came to know each other's bodies. We pick up as they reach her home. Fran opened both garage doors and shut them both once they were in. She had a beautiful home which he was...Read On

Colleagues and friends discover their mutual desires.
Hank had always like Fran. He liked her a lot. They had a great platonic relationship which he rued almost every day. In fact, he often dreamed about her and masturbated to thoughts of her. Sure, he had girlfriends over the years, and he had his share of sexual adventures since he was a senior in high school and during his time away at college. But Fran seemed to always occupy his idle...Read On

A dying man reveals his past in a memoir of past loves and sexual partners
I'm an old man now and my health is just short of the grave, but you know, I still have the mind of a teenager. They have always said that at a certain age, people revert to their childhood and that must be true in my case. The thing is, although the body gets old and weak, it doesn't always apply to the mind. My mind is as fresh with memories as if they had happened yesterday. Early in life...Read On

The next day I was in for a surprise. James had said he had things to teach me and boy was he right. I knew he was an alpha male, dominant and in control. Today I get to play with that side of him. I noticed an outfit draped over the chair in our room with a note attached. As I read the note I smiled; he had made a command not a request. I picked up the beautiful lace, silk and sheer...Read On

Girl tries to win back ex-lover
She hurried down the path to the old graveyard in the woods outside of town. Dear God, she thought, please let him be there. There was a light breeze, wafting the smell of the woods with it, but it did nothing to lift the sultry heat of the summer evening. The heat barely touched her, though, as her nerves took over. Was he there? If so, would he be happy to see her? She hoped he would....Read On

Federated Suns

|Faction Profile
|Time period:
| 2317 – present
Part of Federated Commonwealth from 3055 to 3057
|Successor State
|Controlled systems:
|Capital world:
|New Avalon
|Ruler title:
|First Prince
|Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)
|Secret Service:
|Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations (MIIO) and Department of Military Intelligence (DMI)
The Federated Suns is the most powerful and largest of the Successor States. By the end of the 3rd Succession War, it numbered more than 500 systems over 20,000 square parsecs, reaching more than 500 light years away from Terra at its furthest point. Ruled by House Davion and located mostly rimward and spinward of Terra, the Federated Suns was founded in 2317[1] after the withdrawal of the Terran Alliance from its colonies.
The Federated Suns is considered by many to be the military powerhouse of the five Successor States, due to the quality and quantity of forces available to the realm. Martial prowess is held in such esteem that the First Prince, ruler of the Federated Suns, is required to have served at least five years in the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in order to be eligible to use the title.[citation needed]
Despite its military acumen, the fall of the Star League left the Federated Suns with only a handful of technologically advanced worlds among its large expanses of underdeveloped worlds, especially when compared with the other Successor States. To remedy this, Hanse Davion founded the New Avalon Institute of Science and prioritized the recovery of lost technologies[2]. Within two decades of the Institute's founding, the Federated Suns (and its Fed-Com ally, the Lyran Commonwealth) could claim to be the most technologically advanced military among the Successor States.[3]
It is debatable whether this technological renaissance of the early 31st century also reshaped civilian technological levels to the same level, especially on its periphery borders.
Among the Successor States, the Federated Suns most ostensibly resembles a constitutional monarchy under a representative democracy with guaranteed personal liberties, similar to the United Kingdom of pre-First Exodus Terra. Stratification of society (especially with regard to the influence of the warrior-elite) make the Suns less open to pure democracy than claimed.[4] A deeper look at the actions and history of the Suns casts even more doubt on their claim of democratic ethics.
The Federated Suns is politically and militarily organized into regional Marches. The three that have been around since the March system was created are the Capellan March (bordering the Capellan Confederation), the Draconis March (bordering the Draconis Combine), and the 'inner' Crucis March. The Crucis March is the home of New Avalon, the capital world of the Federated Suns.
The Federated Suns (also known as "the Federation" by its citizenry) could best be described as a hereditary and constitutional monarchy. The First Prince is the leader of the Federated Suns and is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS). Officially the High Council, a group of both democratic, hereditary, and other officials chosen by the leadership of the member-worlds of the Federated Suns, presided over the nation until the formation of the Federated Commonwealth.
Since the reign of Prince Alexander Davion the High Council has become largely a glorified "rubber stamp" organization. The Privy Council is a group of the highest advisers to the First Prince and is extremely important in the running of the day-to-day affairs of the state. The Nobility of the Federated Suns, created during the reign of Prince Simon Davion, also hold positions of authority, but the nobility of the Federated Suns has lesser power than in some of the other Successor States. The citizens of the realm also have basic rights protected by law, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the ability to appeal to the central government in order to have unpopular or destructive noblemen removed from office.
The internal administrative structure of the Federated Suns has changed several times during its history. In the period prior to the formation of the Capellan Confederation the region within which the various nations and proto-states such as the Sarna Supremacy and Tikonov Grand Union existed was known as the Capellan Zone; the border region abutting the Capellan Zone was known as the Rimward March[5] prior to becoming known as the Capellan March.[6]
In March 2418 Simon Davion reformed the structure of the Federated Suns, reshaping the nation into five Principalities, each headed by a Prince and led by a single First Prince; the first such First Prince was Simon Davion himself.[7] These five Principalities were named the Capellan March, Crucis March, Draconis March, Outer March and Terran March, and each was subdivided into a system of duchies, margraves, counties and baronies and a new class of titled individuals was created, each of whom was subject to appointment by the Prince of his or her respective March. This reform formalized the neo-feudal system that had already been growing throughout the region since the early history of New Avalon.[8]
The rulership of the some of the Marches changed notably during the Age of War; the Varnay family came to power within the Capellan March with the appointment of Richard Varnay to the post of Prince of the Capellan March during the reign of Ellen Davion as a means of removing him from the positions of Chancellor of New Avalon and Constable of the Crucis March because of his ambition to become First Prince.[9] The Varneys would rule the Capellan March until their defeat during the Davion Civil War in 2537.[10]
Another branch of the Davion family came to rule the Draconis March following the decision in 2514 to appoint the sister of First Prince William Davion, Laura Davion, as heir to Vladimir Kerensky, the aging and childless Prince.[11] Laura Davion only ruled the Draconis March until 2533, when she committed suicide after the defeat of her forces by Alexander Davion on the March capital of Tancredi IV during the Davion Civil War.[12]
Shortly after the appointment of Laura Davion to rule the Draconis March the rulership of the Terran March passed from the Leighton family with the death of Prince Charles Leighton and his family in a Terran Hegemony raid on the March capital, Robinson. Noted Federated Peacekeeping Forces General Nikolai Rostov was appointed Prince by the Council of Regents,[11] but the Rostov family would rule the Terran March for just two generations; Nikolai Rostov was killed in battle during the Davion Civil War[11] and was succeeded by his son Dmitri Rostov[13] only for Dmitri to be killed by Alexander Davion following Dmitri's open rebellion against Alexander's efforts to reform the structure of the Federated Suns in the closing stages of the Davion Civil War.[14]
When the Davion Civil War ended, only two of the five Princes of the Federated Suns were still alive: First Prince Alexander Davion of the Crucis March and Prince Nuno Gutierrez of the Outer March, who from his capital world, Filtvelt, had kept the Outer March out of the Civil War.[15] Alexander Davion restructured the Federated Suns, disbanding the Outer and Terran Marches, instead subdividing the realm into just three Marches: the Capellan March, Crucis March and Draconis March,[10] a system that would remain in place until the late thirty-first century. The rulers of the Capellan and Draconis Marches were made subordinate to the First Prince, leaving the First Prince as the highest noble in the Federated Suns and the highest-ranking military officer. Each March was divided into a number of zones for administrative purposes, just as the Marches were divided into Theaters and Polymorphous Defense Zones for military purposes.[15]
Stewardship of the Draconis March passed to House Sandoval after the Davion Civil War; the Sandovals were a significant noble family on Robinson, and gained de facto control of the capital of the Terran March while resolutely turning their backs on Dmitri Rostov, an act of loyalty and support that saw them rewarded by Alexander Davion.[16] The Capellan March was ruled by a series of noble families during the Star League era, with one family replacing another in quick succession, due to political infighting and personal conflicts during the Star League era and then attrition in the First Succession War - a conflict that saw four March Lords killed in battle and two more injured so badly that they had to step down.[17] In 2829 the ruling family of the Capellan March became House Hasek, an old and well-established family within the Federated Suns, with the appointment of Colonel Damien Hasek to the titles of Duke of New Syrtis and Minister of the Capellan March.[18]
The next major change in the administrative structure came with the creation of a new Periphery March by Princess-Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion in the aftermath of the Jihad; incorporating the edgeward regions of the Chirikof and Markesan Operational Areas of the Crucis March as well as the Milligan and Woodbine PDZ of the Draconis March and the Warren PDZ of the Capellan March, the Periphery March was made the desmene of Duke Raymond-Roger Marsin[19] with the March capital being established on June.[20]
In terms of military strength, the Federated Suns is one of the most powerful nations in the Inner Sphere. The First Princes of House Davion have always been committed to the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns, a highly trained, disciplined, and professional force that benefits greatly from technological advances from the New Avalon Institute of Science. Every heir-apparent is required to serve in the military in order to be eligible for the title of First Prince.
The AFFS has undergone several major reforms during the centuries of its existence; most recently, the damage inflicted during the Jihad resulted in a desperate need to adjust to remain effective as losses mounted and the Word of Blake ravaged the industrial base of the Federated Suns.
The major characteristic that distinguishes the AFFS from the other Inner Sphere militaries has for a very long time been the organizational efficiency with which the AFFS operates. This is evident in the manner in which the disparate elements of the military coordinate and work well together, a shared spirit of teamwork making the whole greater than the sum of the individual parts. In the first half of the 31st century, First Prince Hanse Davion capitalized on this when he invented the AFFS military organization known as the Regimental Combat Team - not to be confused with the much earlier Star League Defense Force organization of the same name. During the Jihad, necessity drove Marshal of the Armies Jon Davion to introduce a new formation drawing on many of the same properties and capabilities that made the RCT effective.[21]
The first brigade to make use of the new Light Combat Team model was the Avalon Hussars, whose performance in the new organization combined with the portability and flexibility of the LCT saw it become the model for the AFFS in the post-Jihad era. With many front line commands re-formed into LCTs, some formations remained in the larger RCT format to act as the big stick for dealing with particularly troublesome neighbors. The ease with the reforms bedded in is both a testament on the success of the LCT and a chilling statement on the damage inflicted on the senior ranks of the AFFS by the Jihad. With major reforms going on and talented officers being promoted two or even three ranks because of the number of open posts, the reorganization conducted in the early 3080s marked the biggest change in the structure of the AFFS since its initial incorporation.[21]

The Federated Suns is committed to allowing freedom of religion to its citizenry. During the First Succession wars, when the Draconis Combine and Capellan Confederation were bearing down against House Davion's forces, there was a wave of hatred against Asian residents of the realm and many Buddhist institutions were destroyed. Today, however, Buddhism is practiced freely throughout Davion space. Judaism maintains a small but active presence in the Federated Suns and is centered in and around the world of Robinson.
The closest thing to a persecuted faith in the Federated Suns is the Azami branch of Islam, which is distrusted by the government, due to the large and important Azami population in the Draconis Combine. The larger Sunni branch of Islam is completely accepted by the Federated Suns population. Hinduism is important in a region in the southern portion of Davion space called the United Hindu Collective. It was formerly a sovereign state but later joined the Federated Suns. Protestant Christianity is the largest of all of the religious faiths of the Federated Suns. The Catholic branch of Christianity is also important although it is divided between those who owe loyalty to Rome and a split-off known as the New Avalon Catholic Church which is based around an interpretation of a communique from the Pope to the Cardinal of New Avalon.

The Catholic Church in Britain was in turmoil today after its most senior cleric, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, who faces allegations of "inappropriate" behaviour, announced he is stepping down.
The 74-year-old tendered his resignation as Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh in November to Pope Benedict XVI, but said in a statement today: "The Holy Father has now decided that my resignation will take effect today."
He added that he would not be attending the conclave of cardinals due to choose a successor to Pope Benedict next month in Rome, leaving Britain's Roman Catholics with no vote in the election.
"I have valued the opportunity of serving the people of Scotland and overseas in various ways since becoming a priest," Cardinal O'Brien said in a statement.
"Looking back over my years of ministry, for any good I have been able to do, I thank God.
"For any failures, I apologise to all whom I have offended."
The announcement of his immediate resignation comes after the Observer newspaper reported that three priests and a former priest in Scotland reported the cardinal to the Vatican over allegations of inappropriate behaviour stretching back 30 years.
It is understood that Cardinal O'Brien contests the claims.
The Observer said the four statements containing the claims were submitted to the Papal Nuncio Antonio Mennini's office the week before Benedict's resignation was announced on February 11.
The former leader of Scotland's Roman Catholics, Cardinal O'Brien tendered his resignation in November to the Pope citing "indifferent health" but had not been expected to step down until his 75th birthday on March 17.
He was created a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2003 and became prominent for his colourful and strongly- voiced defence of conservative Catholic teaching.
His opposition to gay marriage earned him the Bigot of the Year award from the gay rights group Stonewall and in 2007 he caused controversy when, speaking on the 40th anniversary of the Abortion Act, he said the termination rate north of the border was equivalent to "two Dunblane massacres a day".
But on Friday, in an interview with the BBC, the cardinal surprised commentators by backing an end to the celibacy rule for the priesthood.
In his statement, Cardinal O'Brien, who played a key role in welcoming Pope Benedict on his visit to Scotland and England in 2010, thanked the pope for his "kindness and courtesy" towards him and the people of Scotland.
"I thank Pope Benedict XVI for his kindness and courtesy to me and on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Scotland, I wish him a long and happy retirement," he said.
"I also ask God's blessing on my brother cardinals who will soon gather in Rome to elect his successor. I will not join them for this conclave in person."
He added that he would not be taking part in the upcoming conclave as he did not wish to be the centre of media attention.
"I do not wish media attention in Rome to be focussed on me - but rather on Pope Benedict XVI and on his successor," he said.
"However, I will pray with them and for them that, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, they will make the correct choice for the future good of the church.
"May God who has blessed me so often in my ministry continue to bless and help me in the years which remain for me on earth and may he shower his blessings on all the peoples of Scotland especially those I was privileged to serve in a special way in the Archdiocese of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh."
Cardinal O'Brien did not attend mass at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh yesterday following the allegations in the Observer.
He was due to celebrate eight years of Pope Benedict holding office.
The cardinal, who was born in Ballycastle, Co Antrim, has been the Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh since 1985.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said: "I hear the news of Cardinal O'Brien's resignation with the greatest sadness.
"In all of my dealings with the cardinal, he has been a considerate and thoughtful leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland, stalwart in his faith but constructive in his approach.
"The hugely successful visit of Pope Benedict in 2010 was a highlight of his cardinalship and symbolised the key role of the Catholic Church in Scottish society.
"It would be a great pity if a lifetime of positive work was lost from comment in the circumstances of his resignation.
"None of us know the outcome of the investigation into the claims made against him but I have found him to be a good man for his church and country."
An apostolic administrator will be appointed to govern the Archdiocese of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh until a successor to Cardinal O'Brien is appointed.
The Rev Sharon Ferguson, chief executive of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, said Cardinal O'Brien's resignation was a "positive thing".
"He has been a very vocal opponent of lesbian and gay equality and we can only pray that whoever takes over his position will be a little bit more thoughtful in the way they choose to conduct themselves towards lesbian and gay people and lesbian and gay Catholics in particular," he said.
"He has hurt a lot of people and excluded a lot of people from God's love with what he has done."

I'll be making 300+ cupcakes for a wedding in a month. I want to use Wilton Color Cups as liners. Has anyone had any experience with how these hold up to freezing? I plan to start baking and freezing about 2 weeks ahead of time. I made a test batch yesterday and they seemed to thaw just fine, but I don't know how they will hold up during longer periods. I plan to thaw and frost on Friday morning and deliver for a Saturday evening wedding.
I'd like to buy the liners as soon as possible (damask pattern), since I'm not sure if Wilton carries it anymore. But, since they are pricey, wanted to get some input first!

In order to make a more informed decision about whether or not the current four-day week at North Branch Area Public Schools is working well for parents and students, the school board Thursday decided to survey residents of District 138.
After a roundabout discussion about the specifics of a survey, the board decided it should contact Don Lifto, a client representative with Springsted, a public sector advising company, to perform the survey.
The survey would include 300 randomly generated calls to residents in the district, and there would also be a Web component, so people could go online and answer a list of 17 questions about the four-day week.
Superintendent Deb Henton noted the board should have the results of the survey by its February work session.
"We need to make a decision about the four-day week fairly soon," she said. Not this month, but as soon as (the board gets) the survey results back."
She added, "If we can have a decision by the school board by the end of February, that would be later than we want, but probably the best scenario that we're looking at."
During a short organizational meeting before the board's regular meeting, the board voted to appoint its members to various posts.
• Chair: Kim Salo
• Vice chair: Kirby Ekstrom
• Clerk: Jay Falk
• Treasurer: Tim MacMillan

The KillerBee Tattoo Machine is the most powerful machine on the market. Artists are throwing away draws full of machines and using The KillerBee for every aspect of their work whether that be lining, shading or colour packing.
This is the first machine on the market which allows you to service it yourself. The machine can be stripped, cleaned, greased and assembled in no time making it sound and feel like brand new again. It is important that you do this monthly or after 200 hours of use to ensure it is always running at its best.
The machine is cut by British engineer from high quality billet aluminium and then hand polished, this machine just shouts quality the moment you take hold of it. The ergonomic design has been in development for 4 years and been designed to reduce tendon strain which in turn reduces repetitive strain injuries, a common in the tattoo industry. This new concept in tattoo machine ergonomics will prolong your career and make you more productive as soon as you get a hold of one.
Technical Information:
Maximum Power- The KillerBee has a maxon motor which operates from 9 all the way up to 24 volts. Normal operating voltage is between 9v and 14v which is a hard-hitting machine with a 4mm stroke.
Integrated Grip - KillerBee have created a unique grip which combines the depth adjustment with your grip. The grip is totally removable and autoclavable ensuring it is clean and sterilize for every use.
Fully Serviceable - It can be argued that the tattoo machine is the most important piece of kit for any tattooist. To make sure that the KillerBee runs smoothly at all times they have made it easy for you to service your machine yourself.
Part Autoclavable - The KillerBee is designed to be as hygienic as possible. Cleaning between jobs can be done by using wipes and the grip can be removed to make sure the cleaning is thorough. When you want to fully clean the machine then it is possible to strip The KillerBee down and remove the motor by removing only four screws. Then 90% of the parts can be put into the autoclave for full sterilisation. To fully strip the KillerBee down and rebuild takes less than five minutes and only requires one Allen key.

16-year-old girl last seen at Midlands high school in September
Sun, 21 Oct 2012 16:55:00 GMT —
COLUMBIA (WACH) - A 16-year-old girl has not been seen for 20 days, according to officials with the Richland County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff Leon Lott says Anafelicia "Ana" Miranda was last seen Friday, September 28 at Richland Northeast High School.
Authorities say Ana told family members that she wanted to spend the weekend with a male acquaintance and said she would return by Monday, October 1. No one has heard from her since her departure.
Lott says at the age of 16 in South Carolina a person cannot make the decision to leave home without the consent of their parents or legal guardian.
The sheriff says Ana may have left with Arturo Pereira Bravo, who is also known as Linch Bravo Pereina.
Bravo is described as a Hispanic male who is approximately 25 years old around 5-feet-10-inches tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds.
According to Lott, they may be traveling in a blue 2000 Mercury Sable with keypads on the door and South Carolina tag IKP-374.
Lott says it's possible Bravo may be headed to Georgia or Mexico.
The sheriff's department is working to determine if Miranda left willingly or if she is being forced to not have contact with her family.
Lott says her family believes she may be in danger.
Ana Miranda is described as a Hispanic female who is around 5-feet-6-inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes. She weighs approximately 150 pounds.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Miranda or Bravo should contact CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Basware lays down predictions for trends and issues impacting finance and procurement in 2013
STAMFORD, Conn—Purchase-to-pay (P2P) and e-invoicing solutions provider Basware has announced predictions for key trends and issues that are expected to impact finance and procurement in 2013. The increasing use of mobile apps to conduct key invoice processing functions; expanding use of social media platforms to collaborate with colleagues, suppliers and partners; and the growth of the cloud as an enabler of automation are central themes that Baseware sees driving growth this year. As well, business commerce networks will continue expanding, improving visibility and control across the financial supply chain.
"This year, marked by a continued focus on better managing spend and increasing profitability, companies will continue to require real-time visibility and control over finances," said Bob Cohen, Basware's VP of Marketing, North America. "While the challenges and goals remain the same, in 2013 we expect to see an explosion in mobility, social collaboration, cloud-based services and other trends that are redefining the way people work. Business commerce networks will continue to grow as they enable companies to conduct P2P transactions more effectively, gain critical insights into savings opportunities, and better manage cash flow."
The following are key trends anticipated this year:
The year of the app with BYOD
As workers become increasingly accustomed to using the same devices (smart phones and tablets) at work, as they do at home, they require mobile apps that let them to work on the move. Mobile apps for purchase-to-pay are enabling professionals to review, approve and reject invoices and purchase requisitions when they're out of the office. With these mobile capabilities enabling real-time anywhere, anytime access, businesses can speed up the review and approval cycles of invoice and requisition processing, providing data visibility and actionable performance insight on the move.
Social media
The growth of social media is continuing in the corporate environment. While many companies are establishing policies to limit or manage the use of social media in the workplace, savvy organizations recognize that social media can further collaboration in the workplace. In finance departments, social media is being applied to enable an immediate dialogue between buyers and sellers, to discuss purchasing requisitions and invoices and handle disputes on the fly.
E-invoicing and open network collaboration
The focus on financial collaboration between buyers and suppliers through e-invoicing and transactions over business commerce networks is increasing as companies realize their value. A recent study from Billentis reported that the potential cost savings of e-invoicing is estimated to be as much as 60-80 percent compared to traditional paper-based processing. E-invoicing use is rising thanks to a "viral" ecosystem as it is passed down the value chain from a large customer to a large supplier and consequently the suppliers that work with that business. These factors, combined with legislative changes and e-invoicing mandates by governments, improvements in connectivity solutions and market awareness, combine to increase the number of organizations adopting e-invoicing and the volume of invoices processed. In the 2012 e-invoicing study commissioned by Basware, 73 percent of respondents globally used electronic invoicing to some degree compared to 59 percent in 2011.
The open network, the global ecosystem of interoperable business commerce networks across which buyers and suppliers can easily transact regardless of their technology or document formats, will continue to be increasingly important as businesses look to increase cross-enterprise collaboration to speed up business processes and the flow of cash. Closer interoperation between suppliers and buyers will also provide better control over goods and services as well as the ability to conduct global commerce more effectively.
The Cloud as equalizer
Cloud computing is becoming mainstream for businesses of all sizes, as they recognize the value it provides to their organizations, said Basware. For example, by conducting financial operations in the cloud, accounts payable and finance departments can be agile and easily respond to changes in economic conditions, regulations or company developments without involving IT resources. Security will continue to be at the heart of cloud offerings, with providers maintaining the highest levels of security across all financial transactions and business interactions. The cloud promotes the democratization of financial software, said the company, bringing its benefits to SMEs as well as enterprises, enabling them to cost-effectively realize the efficiencies and cost savings that these applications deliver.
Increased analytics
Companies are relying more on analytics to uncover financial bottlenecks and opportunities for costs savings, among other areas, said Basware. Relying on unprecedented levels of visibility over the complete financial value chain, dashboards of key performance indicators (KPIs) and other metrics, as well as the ability to drill down into root cause analysis, companies can uncover savings opportunities and are more able to make financial decisions that align with corporate strategy. By gathering information across a business commerce network of trading partners, companies will gain greater insights beyond their internal organization. For example, they can uncover procurement and payment trends, optimize performance of the transactional network and identify opportunities across the financial supply chain for accelerated payments, factoring or other strategies. With this insight across the entire P2P extended network, companies can improve their cash-to-cash conversion cycles and critical performance indicators such as DSOs (days sales outstanding) and DPOs (days payment outstanding).

The E Under The Sun: Kobashi vs HBK
by, 09-03-2011 at 07:33 AM (2489 Views)
Alright I admit it. I AM IN LOVE WITH JAPANESE WRESTLING! Now that's over with I would like to announce that over the coming weeks I plan on doing a little comparison exercise in the form of trying to find the Japanese equivalent for as many WWE superstars as possible. Not exactly original I realise but still fairly interesting.
I will therefore start with one of the most popular comparisons that has been made many times already, namely, Shawn Michaels and Kenta Kobashi.
Now, firstly you must understand that over in the land of the rising sun the wrestling is a lot different to the E. Charisma (that thing that Shawn Michaels seems to ooze like water through a colander) isn't as highly valued for one thing, with a lot of emphasis being placed on in ring talent and toughness, in fact I challenge you to find a single Japanese match that doesn't have some sort of stiff strike exchange in it. The style of wrestling is also very different, the E preferring a safety first style to create the illusion of pain, where as not selling and stiffness is commonplace in Japan. However despite the many differences, similarities can be found everywhere between individuals such as HBK and Kobashi.
For a start, both men were (and still are) ludicrously popular in their respective countries. Michaels charming many with his lack of size not dampening his fiery spirit and cocky athleticism in the ring, the ability to be the most hated man in wrestling and still charm haters out of their vendetta to the point that when he turned heel for his title feud with Cena and his retirement feud with Flair it just didn't work and he was cheered anyway. While Kobashi whipped every crowd into a frenzy with his furious passion and hard hitting toughness, the ability to give a single shout and have the entire Tokyo Dome shouting with him.
But with the similarities must come the decision when we must decide exactly which of these fine gentleman is best; I reckon that the only way to do so is a painfully ruthless scientific questioning method which shall begin now.
World Wide Popularity. OK Shawn definitely has this one in the bag, although Kobashi is more respected within the business itself I have no doubt that some of you who read this will have never heard of him and if this is the case then I hope you look up some of his more memorable matches to get a taste of him, but none the less, the name Shawn Michaels will always be known and associated with greatness while the name Kobashi will probably never be heard of by many young fans.
Best Match. This is where Kobashi deals one of his trademark chops straight to HBK's wedding tackle as if you take Shawn's best matches such as the iron man with Bret and THAT match with The Undertaker, they still won't get near the majesty of Kobashi's. If you asked me my favourite match of all time, i will always say either Kobashi vs Misawa or Kobashi vs Kawada. There is a very good reason why Kobashi has over 20 5 star matches under his belt, when it comes to weaving an emotional rollercoaster with a story the man is almost unmatched. If you were to compare Taker/HBK with Kobashi/Misawa I still maintain that it would be like comparing a particularly sturdy park bench to a vibrating arm chair, yes the bench is more familiar and you sit on it every day to feed the ducks but your arse is going to be far more comfortable in an arm chair because...well it's a fucking arm chair for god's sake!
Time Of Retirement. This one is very important, in some cases the earlier the retirement the better but in others it would be perfectly fine for the wrestler to go on for years. However in this case, I'm afraid the point must go to Kobashi, I understand Shawn's fear of lingering too long and stealing the spotlight and his back probably resembles a used bog brush by now but the fact is that you just know that he has a few more left in him. Kobashi on the other hand is carrying pretty bad knee injuries, got through cancer and has just recovered from serious nerve damage in his arm but he is still going at it and can still work. He has also managed to not get in the way of the youth coming through in Pro Wrestling NOAH, placing himself firm in the role of nostalgia whilst leaving the way clear for Sugiura, Marufuji and Shiozaki to slowly take over the spotlight.
Move-Set. Again, this one is quite hard due to the huge difference in styles, big lumbering Kobashi sank a lot of his offence into chop variations and various ways of dropping people on their heads, which may not sound like much of a move-set but he always managed to time each move perfectly so that they seemed as effective as they looked instead of just dropping everyone on their head thousands of times. Kobashi also has the plus point of inventing four rather spectacular moves; Black Crush (suplex cutter), Diamond Head (power bomb DDT), Organge Crush (suplex powerbomb) and the more famous Burning Hammer which has only been used 7 times due to its dangerous nature. However the point must still go to Shawn on the basis of range, no he didn't innovate any new moves, but every match I've ever seen him in he has demonstrated a healthy mix of strike, submission, power and even flying moves. Thus, score one for HBK.
Number Of Main Title Reigns. This is the deciding comparison and it doesn't get more cold heartedly factual than this. I'm not going to count things like tag reigns or minor belts like intercontinental title reigns, in which case, Kobashi's total is....4! Three Triple Crown reigns in AJPW and 1 GHC heavyweight title reign (the longest reign the belt has ever seen at over 2 years). Now if the drum roll could please start I can reveal that HBK's total is........5! With 1 TWA title reign, 1 World Heavyweight title reign and 3 WWE title reigns
So the points stand at Kenta Kobashi 2, Shawn Michaels 3. Your opinions on the subject would be very much appreciated and if you've never seen Kobashi work before I encourage you to look him up and witness 'Zettai Ohja' (The Absolute Champion) at work.
This is Fendevered, still convinced that Kobashi vs Michaels would be better than either of HBK's Undertaker matches.

Authorities say a man wanted for allegedly firing a shot inside an Albuquerque hospital last week is in custody.
Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputies say 21-year-old Cesar Dominguez-Garcia surrendered without incident Saturday.
Police say Dominguez was at the University of New Mexico Hospital with his girlfriend on Jan. 4 when he became upset, beat up his girlfriend, then fired a shot in the hallway.
No one was injured, but the hospital was locked down for about an hour while authorities searched for Dominguez.
Surveillance video showed him leaving the building after the shooting.
KOB-TV reports that Dominguez told his family he was acting in self-defense when he fired the shot.

Hey Dave – I recently got an iMac. And have signed up on the Yahoo Instant Messenger (YIM). How can I delete someone on my list?
I have been running Yahoo Instant Messenger 3 beta and this documents how you can delete a contact from Yahoo Messenger.
First off, you'll want to ensure that you have your contacts window displayed and that you can see the contact you want to remove from your list. Then Control-Click on that person (that is, hold down the Control or Ctrl key on your keyboard and click) which will bring up the following contextual menu:
Choose "Delete…", as highlighted and… nothing happens! Hmmm… looks like this is an unimplemented feature in Yahoo Messenger, perhaps? It also produces no results if you try to choose Contacts –> Delete… so I'm not exactly sure what to advise if you're running 3.0 beta.
As an experiment, I backed up to Yahoo Messenger version 2.5.3 and tried the same thing. The menu is definitely different:
This time I need to choose Remove Friend… but this time, at least, it appears something's going to work:
Click "Delete" and, a second or two later, they're off my list.
So that's your answer. If you're running Yahoo Messenger 3 beta, it's time to backup and run 2.5.3 because there are still too many bugs.

Del Monte Fresh Produce NA Inc. is in talks to relocate to a larger refrigerated warehouse at Port Manatee.
The Coral Gables, Fla.-based Del Monte is in negotiations with Montreal-based Logistec, a logistics and stevedoring company, to move Del Monte's operations to a 200,000-square-foot cold storage operation at the Palmetto, Fla., port, according to news reports.
The new facility is in early design stages and through the operating agreement, Logistec would operate the $24.6 million public-private warehouse while Del Monte would become the facility's principal tenant, according to a Jan. 22 report in the Bradenton Herald.
Del Monte imports fruit into a 58,000-square-foot warehouse at the port.
Del Monte and Logistec have not yet reached an agreement but are continuing discussions, André Dubois, Logistec's director of operations at the port, said in the article.
The two are hoping to have "something in place" by early next year, Dubois said in the article.
If approved, Logistec would serve as the private partner and would pay $12.3 million of the construction cost with the Florida Department of Transportation funding the remaining $12.3 million, according to the report.
Port Manatee officials confirmed the talks but referred questions to Del Monte, which didn't return calls.
The Tampa, Fla.-area port offers 207,000 square feet of refrigerated storage capacity.
The port is Del Monte's second-biggest U.S. port operation, according to the article.

A short back and long front always have the touch of glamour and avantgarde. Softened by wide sweeping curls this iconic haircut oozes with seduction. Soft lines, silky texture and movement to the rhythm of a silent melody are the powerful ingredients, which make this classy and sexy look a star.
Styling makes sure that the lines are not too neat, but slightly disheveled for the famous bed-hair look. Dark brown and caramel catch the light and accentuate the shape.

Although I enjoyed the Italian hot dog I have one complaint. The overall quality of the sandwich was compromised by the unmistakable taste of canned pepper strips that were slightly past their prime. Unfortunately every Italian hot dog place seems to use the canned peppers.

Does the route Zap Snack exist? It's supposed to be between Duh Dihedral and Fine Line.
[In regard to Fine Line] Better than it looks from the ground.

|Yes, Zap Snack exists. It's a "squeeze in", intermittent seam, but it's there. I recall a short ledge fall potential 1/2 way up it, so be careful if you lead it.

|Pretty nice route; a 50m rope will get you to the ground from the bolts just to the right of the route.

|I would highly suggest this route. The gear looks thin from the bottom but I was able to sew it up pretty well. The first 30-40 feet is steep climbing on big jugs, lots-o-fun. The crux comes right after a large ledge. You can place a really bomber mid size stopper before commting to the 9 moves but you are forced to climb above your piece with the potential to hit the ledge. However, after doing 1 or 2 5.9 moves your through the crux and there are rap bolts at the top. A very good climb that I highly recommend.

|Zap Snack climbs Fine Line to the small ledge (FA belayed here), then moves right to climb the steep upper dihedral of Terminal Velocity. It predates both of those routes.

Looks like I did something else then. Go check out the little seam left of T.V. and F.L. and tell me what you think of that. I lead 2 different seams there in 1996 and noted one of them as "sqeezed." It was pretty runout. The crux was a ledge fall. I said it was hard and tricky. Mark couldn't do the moves and said he thought it was "harder than that." I asked "harder than what?" and he replied "I don't know, but harder than you think."
So yeah, it would be a sandbag for 5.10a too.

CU-Run Best Wishes Continues to Bring Tears, Joy to Military
For many CU executives involved in the program, it has been "a labor of love and a small measure of my patriotic duty during a perilous time" as one put it in describing the task of organizing and financing the holiday greeting telecasts on screens in bases from Alaska to Virginia.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, hundreds of parents, wives, sisters, sons and daughters of military men and women stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere engaged in those emotional exchanges thanks to the work of 17 military CUs, the Defense Credit Union Council and WesCorp, the California corporate.
"It is simply heartening to know that we in the credit union community have done our part to bring a little bit of happiness to those families gathered in a base conference hall to record messages to their loved ones overseas," said Bradley Smith, vice president of strategic development at the $530 million Pacific Marine Credit Union, Camp Pendleton, Calif.
And for another credit union, the $353 million America's Credit Union of Fort Lewis, Wash, "We jumped at the chance to offer this great program to families stationed at Fort Lewis," said Ken Leonard, president/CEO.
With so many troops from the Washington Army base readying for deployment, "Everyone knows what it is like being separated from loved ones this time of year, and so it is our hope, wish and gift to bring the soldiers and their loved ones together for a few special moments," said Leonard.
The video screenings have been part of the holiday routine at bases since 2004 when WesCorp, based in San Dimas, Calif., first initiated the program. Despite NCUA's conservatorship of WesCorp and elimination of direct financial support for Operation Best Wishes, the WesCorp staff has continued to help manage the program, transporting equipment and technicians to base sites and doing other chores to keep it functioning. The 17 participating natural person credit unions and the Defense Council have filled in the funding gaps.
During 2009, Best Wishes managers expect 960 video messages will be recorded as the popularity of the program has increased in some areas with more CU base sites added to the current list of 20. Participants are expected to top 2,700.
CUs like the $2.9 billion Ent FCU in Colorado Springs work extra hard to make the video settings comfortable for adults and youngsters alike during the taping sessions.
At a Dec.15 session in Ent's real estate center, participating families can enjoy free onsite activities, refreshments and activities for the kids. In addition, participants receive a free family photo from an onsite professional photographer paid by Ent.
At each site across the U.S., the WesCorp team sets up a mobile Web cast studio, complete with cameras, microphones and monitors. During a reserved time slot, the deployed military member can log in at his or her location and view the live message or watch it at a later time.
Participants also can respond immediately via a text messaging feature on the Website.
"We've been trying to get on Operation Best Wishes for the last couple of years and we were pleased we could do it for the first time this year with 42 families showing up at our Wheeler Army Airfield installation," said Paulette Ito, marketing vice president at the $480 million Hawaiian Tel Federal Credit Union of Honolulu.
A special feature at the Hawaiian Tel event were special care activities for soldier's wives, including massage, makeup and hair care services, all performed by credit union volunteers. Even Hawaii Lt. Gov. Duke Alano came to the Hawaiian Tel site to record a message to the troops.
Operation Best Wishes was slated to end Dec. 22 at New York's Fort Drum in Watertown with AmeriCU as sponsor and by then "the 2009 tour will have represented the most extensive number of credit unions ever to engage in hosting the one-day events," said WesCorp.

'Mad Men' Recap: The Summer Man
"When a man walks into a room he brings his whole life with him."
The first sight of Don Draper in this episode was his epic hairy chest at the pool. I think that should be enough to let you know who this man really is. Super bad ass.
Apparently, our guy is keeping a diary now. He didn't finish high school, he has major smoker's hack and well, when the Stones are playing and he is putting on his shades, women tend to swoon like there is no tomorrow. The man has the swagger of Cary Grant. I felt like I was watching a classic film.
The difference in Don Draper is significant. He is being honest with himself now. He is having a dialogue. He is working his shit out. Things are looking up.
Que the douche bag brigade and the vending machine. Joey, the only hot one, actually says something to Joan MF Holloway along the lines of, "You walk around like you're trying to get raped." Holy Shit! Does this moron know who he is talking to? Shanghai Whorehouse? More like, master of the entire Mad Men universe dumb ass!
The Mad Men recap continues after the jump.
Yay Betty looks pretty again! Really pretty! I was reminded why January
Jones is on the show. Its been too long girl. Yes, she is still an
alcoholic. Yes, her and Don may or may not still love each other,
secretly. But she was cooking this episode! And frosting a cake!Also, ex wives are a turn on for Bethany. The back of a cab, really?On
the opposite of that spectrum, is Faye. She is nothing like Bethany or
Betty and Mr. Draper knows this. She is educated, independent, doesn't
need a man, does NOT cook and damn it if she won't tell you to go take a
shit in the ocean! I think this could be the start of something
beautiful for Don. Faye may be exactly what he needs. Oh and
that troglodyte Joey got his ass canned. Even though Peggy made us all
cheer, Joan has her own way of castrating men when she needs to and she
doesn't want someone cramping her style. Either way, girl power
prevailed in the end. Don went to Gene's 2nd birthday after all.
And I almost cried seeing him be a dad again. Let's hope Mr. Draper is
truly turning a new leaf.

Once components return to a point you can select what you want again, I suggest working on keeping at least a 1 year supply on hand at all times. When the next shortage comes and it will, you will be in a better position to wait for things to become available again.
The only thing I was caught short of this time around is bullets. I probably will have enough to make it when they are available again but I'm going to be cutting it close. I think in the future I will have to consider stocking for 2 years. It will give me a full year before I have to start thinking about rationing.
A good thing about stocking up is your price per round is locked in with the price you paid at that time. I would just hold on to what you have now and look to find a way to get what you need. There are signs some items may be coming available in a few months. I just hope it doesn't go much beyond the end of the year.
