Introducing the Pioneer SC-1222 AV Receiver. Combining technological advancements with elegance, the SC-1222 delivers incredible home theater performance. With 840 (7 x 120) watts of crisp and accurate audio reproduction, the SC-1222 provides connectivity for all your latest high-definition home theater components, and digital 1080p video from any source.
Made for You--And your iPad®, iPhone® and iPod®
Thanks to Made for iPod touch®, iPhone, and iPad certification, Apple devices are easily connected with the included USB/video cable - so there's no need to buy a separate dock to enjoy all your music, videos, and streaming content. Plus, since your iPhone, iPod and now your iPad charge automatically when connected, it's the ultimate plug-and-play integration with your home theater. You can enjoy music with album art from the iTunes® store, shared videos and movies, downloaded TV shows from iTunes, photos, web content from YouTube® and much more. Got a call? The iPhone will mute movies and music so you can take it. Use the iPhone directly, or push a single button on the SC-1222's front panel to switch control to the included preset remote and an intuitive, full-color GUI.
With AirPlay, stream music from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or iTunes to the SC-1222 and play it through your home theater system without docks or cables. Simply connect the receiver to your home network via Ethernet, and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes music from your connected Apple® device or networked computer.
You can even view song information including song title, artist, and track time as well as album art on a connected display. Not only that, the SC-1222 supports network audio sources in Zone 2, allowing you to send music to another room. With AirPlay, there's really no reason why your iTunes music has to be restricted to one device.
HTC Connect™
HTC Connect™ is for Android® owners who, until now, have constantly asked, "What about me?" The good news is your receiver has arrived. A Pioneer exclusive, the SC-1222 proudly supports HTC Connect, compatible with HTC One series phones. HTC Connect makes it easy to wirelessly stream your favorite music straight from your HTC One phone. There's no need for a separate app; HTC Connect is built right into your phone's music player.
UPDATE: HTC Connect Firmware Now Available for Download
Connect to Your PC Music Files or Internet Radio
The SC-1222's networking ability opens up an entirely new world of possibilities. A rear panel Ethernet port allows full integration into your home network, and with Windows® 7® and DLNA® 1.5 certification, a whole new level of entertainment options are at your fingertips. With 192kHz / 24-bit WAV and FLAC file compatibility, network streaming audio playback is now ready for the true audiophile. Stream your MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and FLAC music files from your PC, laptop or smartphone to your home theater system.
Unleash Your Smartphone's Music with Bluetooth®
The SC-1222 is ready for wireless Bluetooth audio from virtually any A2DP profile Bluetooth device. With the optional Pioneer AS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter, you can untether yourself from cables and inputs. Plus you'll enjoy enriched quality with Sound Retriever AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio. Select your favorite programming from music sources like vTuner®, Pandora, or SiriusXM internet radio, accessing thousands of Internet radio stations from around the world.
Ultimate Sound Control
What really separates the SC-1222 is the sound. Dolby® TrueHD delivers high-defintion surround audio, while Dolby Pro-Logic IIz takes surround sound to the next level. DTS HD® Master Audio decoders mean Blu-Ray DiscTM have never sounded better. It is like having your own sound engineer precision-tuning to your environment.
Class D3 Amplification
The SC-1222's Class D3 7-channel amplifier is one of the most powerful amplifiers of any multi-channel A/V receiver Pioneer has ever produced. Designed for audiophiles, Class D3 amplification features a direct signal path, with no EMI filters, feedback loops, or current limiters. Unlike regular amps, Class D3 amplifiers are 4-OHM certified so they safely power those low-impedance speakers that other receivers just can't handle. These amplifiers run cool, using just a fraction of the energy of less efficient designs. Class A/B amplifiers simply cannot match the efficiency of Class D3 as their power output per channel diminishes rapidly when more channels are added to the work-load. This kind of unprecedented power capability allows you to appreciate the full dynamics from any media source in a way never before possible.
Advanced Marvel® Qdeo® Video Processing for High Picture Quality
Using Marvell Qdeo processing technology and Pioneer's extensive video know-how makes home theater a truly immersive experience. The SC-1222 provides video conversion from composite and component video to HDMI for a single-wire high-definition audio and video solution as well as up to 1080p video scaling for an exceptional picture regardless of the source, creating natural and noise-free video for maximum performance and flexibility.
Get Ready for 3D with the Latest HDMI® Technology
All of Pioneer's newest receivers support the latest HDMI specifications. So not only do you get the most out of your existing movies and music, with the SC-1222, you're prepared for the new generation of 3D video content. With 7 HDMI inputs including a front input, you've got plenty of connectivity options for the growing number of high-definition sources available. The SC-1222 also offers advanced HDMI conveniences like HDMI Standby Through.
Transform your Apple Device into a Powerful Remote Control
Communicating with the SC-1222 wirelessly through your home network is easy with Pioneer's iControlAV2012 app, downloadable at no charge through iTunes® and Google Play®, turning your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad device or select AndroidTM devices into a powerful remote control for your receiver. The all new iControlAV2012 is fully redesigned, incorporating everything from basic volume and input selection to advanced features like EQ adjustments and Internet Radio control. iControlAV2012 includes enhanced features like vertical and horizontal orientation and intuitive control of music from networked PCs as well as a super- cool finger EQ adjust screen; simply draw the EQ curve to your desired sound preference. New Sound Explorer gives you easy access to experiment with the many powerful sound enhancements the SC-1222 offers.
Fine-Tune Your Sound with Advanced MCACC
Like a musical instrument, your home theater system needs to be tuned. Pioneer's Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC®) provides an optimized, multi-channel listening experience that's calibrated and customized specifically to your room by measuring every speaker's connection, and noting size and distance from the listening point, sound levels and timbre.

Expert Q & A Answers About rash
Is an all-body rash a symptom of herpes?
My brother's girlfriend has had a rash for about six weeks, and my brother got it about a week after being with her. The rash covers their entire bodies and it blisters. I think it sounds like herpes, but could it be something else?
How do doctors test for HPV and genital warts?
I have tiny bumps between my anus and vaginal opening that a doctor said are genital warts. I want another opinion with an HPV test, but I don't know where to go. And also, is an HPV test a culture test like you get for a bacterial infection? My boyfriend and I have been getting things that look like pimples on our stomachs and butts. I've been getting them on my legs too...I never get pimples there. What could this be?
Is a rash a common symptom of syphilis?
If I have syphilis, would I definitely develop a rash? What does a syphilis rash look like and can I get rid of it?

The tale of a small, struggling business which finally makes it to the big leagues. The writing style was interesting, with grammar and idiom errors at the beginning but polished prose at the end, almost as if shadowing NOW`s humble origins and growth into a large, reputable and sophisticated company. This book has encouraged me to focus more on NOW products than formally, after learning about the care with which they treat their products, and the constant testing for quality control.
If you buy NOW products and would like to find out more about the company behind them or if you just like success stories of small family-owned companies, this book is definitely for you. It's pretty informative and easy to read.
Small book

This is a very small book about one company, which I personally didn't find interesting.
A good read
Posted by healthydoesit on Aug 27, 2016
I purchased this book a couple of years ago, but set it to the side like most things. Recently, I was cleaning off my shelving unit and decided to give this book a go. It was a great read! I thought it was going to be about the Now brand products, but it's more of the story behind the company. The book details the struggle that the family faced as they began this company and goes through the trials and tribulations of becoming a successful business. There are some funny moments in here and I loved hearing about the family. It provided a good insight into the Now brand and the work and heart and dedication behind it. I really enjoyed the book. A quick easy read at about 100 pages or so. If my review helped you, please click yes below. Take a look at my page to see more than 150 honest reviews on products I purchased here on iherb!

Health Insurance for Pregnant Women and Women Recovering From Childbirth
New Law: SB 299
In 2011, Governor Brown signed SB 299, which requires employers to continue health insurance coverage for women who take pregnancy leave. This new law:
- applies to all employers in California with at least 5 employees, regardless of the employee's length of service, or full- or part-time status;
- provides that health benefits must be continued on the same terms for up to 4 months of leave for pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions;
- took effect January 1, 2012.
Under the new law, a 'willful' misclassification occurs when an employer avoids "employee status for an individual by voluntarily and knowingly misclassifying that individual as an independent contractor."
Effect on Low-Wage Workers
Faced with paying out-of-pocket costs for medical care during pregnancy leave, many women were forced to delay or shorten their leave rather than lose medical benefits. Because of this new law, women will no longer have to choose between pregnancy leave and health coverage.
Health coverage during pregnancy leave is essential to the health and economic security of women and their families. Three quarters of women entering today's workforce will become pregnant at least once while employed, and they will generally remain in the workforce following childbirth.
Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center strongly supported passage of this bill.
Guidance for Workers
Women who have been denied continued health insurance benefits during pregnancy leave can file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing within one year of the violation.
You can find free information about pregnancy leave on our website.
Workers can also contact the Workers' Rights Clinic at 415. 864. 8208 or at our toll-free number: 866. 864. 8208.

A family hunting trip is one of those ideas that sounds wonderful in theory. But then you find yourself wiping melted marshmallow out of your daughterâs hair and wrestling your son into the tent at bedtime, and you question why you ever planned this trip in the first place. Unless, of course, you have a plan. Following these four rules for family hunting trips will keep your kids happy and your sanity intactâthereâs even a chance youâll build some memories along the way.
Rule #1: Stay Warm
- â Bring lots of extra warm clothes. Kids can find a way to get soaking wet in the middle of a desertâbe prepared with a replacement outfit or two.
- â Cold hands and cold feet are the formula for a miserable outdoor experience. High quality footwear, gloves, and hand warmers are a must.
- â Thereâs nothing better than a campfire at the end of the day. Make sure youâve got all the gear you need to have a warm fireâfirewood, lighter fluid, matches, kindling, etc. Be sure to check on your campsiteâs rules and restrictions to see if you are allowed to have a fire. A propane fire pit is a great option for fire-restricted areas.
- â A good nightâs sleep starts with a warm sleeping bag. Youâll want to err on the side of being too warm with your sleeping pads and bags. That means bringing a 0° F sleeping bag rather than a 30° F bag when itâs 25° F outside. Cheap sleeping bags that are only meant for summer sleepovers arenât going to cut it for late season camping when itâs cold outside.
Rule #2: Stay Dry
- â The forecast might say itâs supposed to be sunny all weekend; but if this hunting trip is anything like your other family outings, it will inevitably cloud over and start raining or snowing. You canât avoid it, so youâll need to prepare for it. Ponchos are inexpensive, versatile, and usefulâmore than worth the few bucks it costs to buy some for your family.
- â You donât want to wait until a storm hits to realize thereâs a leak in your tent. Double or triple check that your tent is waterproof before taking off for the weekend. A high quality tent may be a little more expensive than what you can find on the bargain shelf, but youâll be glad for the investment when your kids are warm and dry during bad weather.
- â If youâre tight on space inside the tent, bring a pop-up awning. This is the perfect place to wait out a passing shower without cramming together like sardinesâespecially with antsy kids on your hands.
Rule #3: Have Fun First
If you have smaller children who arenât old enough for their own hunting licenses, you need to make sure to involve them in other parts of the hunting experience. Point out game trails, animal tracks, fresh signs, and different animal noises. You can even ask them to help follow a trail and see where it leads. Just remember: if it is fun for them when theyâre young, they will be more interested in coming back to hunt with you in the future.
- â Plan activities for the slower hours of the day. Everyone knows hunting is the best early in the morning and late in the evening, so fill those empty afternoons with something else. Bring a BB gun or sling shot for target practice with empty soda cans; take a few fishing rods if there is a pond or river nearby. Even something as simple as a pocket knife and carving stick can create turn into amazing memories.
- â Kids have limited energy and limited attention spans. So keep the trip short. Donât plan a 10-day hunt for your whole family if your kids will get bored after three. Additionally, youâll want to keep the hunting hours on the short side too. Itâs okay to wake up a little later and head back to camp a little earlier if it will keep your kids happy.
- â Be prepared to eat tag soup. If filling your tag is your priority, then maybe bring your family along on the next trip. Your focus should be creating a positive experience that your children will remember and want to repeat in the future. A hunter whoâs stressed about filling his or her once-in-a-lifetime tag doesnât make for the best company. Be there for the little moments that make incredible memoriesânot just the harvest at the end.
Rule #4: Eat Well
You donât have to sacrifice good food just because you are camping. Breakfast cereal and cold cuts arenât going to hit the spot after a long day in nature. Plan quality meals that will fill your bellies and be fun to cook. Your camp stove and other outdoor cooking gear will make or break this part of your trip. Whether you need to grill, bake, boil, fry, smoke, or barbecue something in the outdoors, Camp Chef has what you need to eat well around the campfire. Try these recipes with your whole family.
- â Breakfast burritos: Breakfast doesnât get much quicker and easier than this. Tortillas, eggs, sausage, onions, salsa, cheese, hash browns, and a good griddle are all you really need.
- â Pancakes, eggs, and bacon are perfect for griddle cooking and a crowd favorite. A hearty breakfast like this before a long day of hunting is just what your family needs.
- â Hobo dinners: Build a fire, fill a foil pouch with whatever ingredients you want, and lay near the coals to cook. Try a combination of hamburger, carrots, onions, and potatoes, or add your own unique ingredients. Just make sure to bring some heavy duty gloves and a shovel to get your meal back out of the fire.
- â Hotdogs are always great over the fire. You can bring brats for the adults and hotdogs for the kids. As a side, wrap some corn on the cob in foil and throw it in the fire.
- â Sâmores: What family camping trip could be complete without sâmores? Check out some of our unique sâmore recipes or stick with the classic.
- â Hot chocolate and hot coffee: A warm thermos of hot chocolate or coffee on a cold morning will warm up tiny hands and give you an extra 30 minutes of hunting while you wait for your quarry to appear.

La Crosse's north side to see mixed-use development
Preliminary estimates place the development's value at about $18 million
City officials are hoping to breathe new life into La Crosse with a proposed north side development next summer.
The 12 acres of vacant land sitting at the corner of St. Andrews and George Streets has been virtually unused since 1997, when Trane abandoned its manufacturing plant there. The plant has since been demolished, and now city officials are entering into a purchase agreement that would replace the weeds and empty space with a multimillion-dollar development.
The land is currently owned by La Crosse Industrial Park Corporation - a partnership between the City of La Crosse, Xcel Energy and the La Crosse Area Development Corporation. The partnership is in purchasing talks with Borton-360 that would sell the parcel of land for $1.9 million.
Borton-360 has proposed building a mixed-use development that would comprise about 60 low-income apartments and space for retail. Preliminary estimates place the development's value at about $18 million.
Mayor Tim Kabat said the development would bring revitalization to the city's north side.
"It's going to be turning vacant property, in essence, to productive use," he said. "It really would be almost a rebirth of that area compared to what it was."
North side residents said space for small businesses it just what their community needs.
"We lost a number of small businesses on the north side, because they just didn't have the space," said Randy Eddy, president of the North La Crosse Merchants Association. "I think this is a major thing for the north side, and for the community in general."
Kabat said the development could generate tax revenues of more than $10 million once it's constructed. But he added it's not just about increasing the tax base - it's about investing in the La Crosse community.
"We're not able to expand and grow outward. We have to grow and develop from within, and this [development] is very consistent with that strategy of rebirth and revitalizing areas."
Construction on the development is expected to begin in the summer of 2014, but there are some hurdles to be jumped first.
The land is still being decontaminated after years of chemicals from the Trane plant leaked into the soil. That project is largely finished, and city officials said they'll continue with plans while the remainder of the land is cleaned up.
City Council also has to approve the purchase agreement. Kabat said committees will take up the measure within the next few months.

The Beeville boys used the same recipe for success of good pitching and even better hitting to power their way over the young 'Horns.
Beeville scored two runs in the first as Anthony Pena and Derek Castillo both scored. Pena reached on a leadoff single and Castillo followed one out later with a single of his own that scored Pena. Castillo was then brought home on a double off the bat of Edward Valdez Jr.
It was 2-0 after one inning.
The Beeville bats again exploded in the third with three big runs crossing the plate on a three-run home run by Seth Gomez. Lauro Garcia Jr. and Castillo scored in front of Gomez.
That made it a 5-0 contest heading into the fourth. Beeville added another run in the fourth with Garcia scoring after stroking a double. Castillo got the RBI with another single. The scoreboard had it at 6-0 entering the fifth inning.
The GW boys scored two runs in the fifth on a couple of Beeville errors and base hits but that was it. The Longhorns went scoreless and down in order in the sixth as the Beeville boys captured the 6-2 victory.
Pablo Salinas opened on the mound for Beeville and pitched two innings. Gomez relieved him to keep his pitch count under 35 pitches and thus available with just one day's rest. Gomez threw just 30 pitches in his one inning of work. Pena worked on the hill in the fourth and fifth frames, using 35 pitches to stay ready for the local boys. Valdez mopped things up in the sixth, taking just 12 pitches to record the final three outs.
"The boys played well defensively with only two errors, but those errors allowed two runs. The boys need to get more disciplined at the plate," said coach Dela Castillo.
"We had a total of 14 strikeouts in this game, which is not going to help us get far in playoffs if we don't get it corrected."
The Major All-Stars play tonight at 8 o'clock in the third round of their postseason tourney. The Beeville boys will face off against Odem, and the young Owls are also undefeated.

Waiting for game four so I can blog at you some more :)
I'm killing some time until tomorrow morning when I'll be back at Hi-Corbett. Here are some more pictures from yesterday. Enjoy…D
Here's most of Rockies pitchers warming up before batting practice.
Nice sunglasses.
Garrett Atkins out there having a good time.
Helton and Hawpe at batting practice.
Brad Hawpe
Some more pitcher pictures, say that three times fast.
Rockies catcher Michael McKenry.
Another Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario.
Here is everything I've managed to get autographed this trip minus my Big Stick bat which currently has 16 autographs on it. I have one more black Big Stick bat and my plan is to get Todd Helton to sign it tomorrow. I'm not greedy so if it doesn't happen I'm ok with that.
I attend a lot of games at Coors Field and I've never been able to get Todd's autograph. I'm just never at the right place at the right time as far as he's concerned. With other players I have been very fortunate.
If it's ever going to happen twice (getting Helton's autograph), this place (Hi Corbett), is the place to get it done.
Jorge De La Rosa signing my WS baseball.
I have to tell you about something I witnessed the other morning as Andy and I were hanging out in the parking lot of Hi-Corbett for the player meet and greet. We noticed that baseball card collectors actually whip out a whole page of cards and the players will usually sign most if not all of the cards on the page.
I watched Juan Morillo sign nine baseball cards for a collector. This collector had skills and has mastered the art of "player small talk".
Here's # 46 Ryan Mattheus pitcher signing my baseball.
I suck at "player small talk", but it's something I'm working on. It's not that I get starstruck (except for Helton), it's that I'm not great at initial small talk with anyone.
Give me five minutes and I'll talk to you like I've known you for years. Don't believe me, just ask anyone who's known me for more than five minutes.
Dan sent me these pictures of the jersey he had made for Emily. Spillborghs wouldn't fit on the back so they just had Spilly sewn on. how cool is this jersey? Props again to Denver Athletics.
I know it's pre-season but before I leave Tucson, I'd like to see the Rockies win one. C'mon Rockies win one for the Ranter tomorrow against the Dodgers because who loves ya?…D

Jeez man! Three blogs deeper than where you were before I left the house for work this morning. Of course I had to catch up, and I'm glad to read you are still enjoying yourself, with minor tire problems. It happens all the time brotha…you can't go somewhere and have a perfect time. There's always something that has to go wrong somewhere. Hopefully, the rest of the trip will be with no worries. I'll keep commenting, but still, good luck!
– Donnie
Wow. I haven't been able to keep up with the constant updates of the MBU. These pics are great! Have fun!
oh, believe me, if we were having a contest on who is the worst at "player small talk" I win, hands down. Looks like you've gotten a lot of autographs, for only being three games into the pre-season! Let's see, is that Spilly's on the bottom, on the left? It looks like his, but has an extra loop on the bottom. Ian's in the right hand corner. is that Brad next to his? Chris is under Ian's, and two to the left. Todd is directly under Ian? Manny's is two over from Ian's, cause he's #60. I'm going to guess, and say that Dexter Fowler's is next to Manny's , because it looks like a "D" for the first letter… so, what are they really? Good luck with getting Todd's again tomorrow!
ALEX-You did really good. It's not Dexter Fowler, Jason Grilli was the one who signed the WS ball but not under the WS logo. I also have Bo Mclaughlin and Ryan Mattheus. I'll post everything when I return unless I have time before…D
DONNIE-This was as small as they come as far as RV's are concerned. Could have been way worse.
ELLIE-Thanks, I told you be ready🙂
JULIA-So far so good…D
2nd pic from the top-the man in the yellow polo shirt is trying to push over the fence while his wife/girlfriend stands as lookout.
4th pic from top-Helton is so good, baseballs are like a magnet to his bat.
Nice haul on the autographs…that's impressive.
Last but not least…the very last picture is the best of the young lady sporting her new "Spilly" jersey. Simply awesome!
HAPPY-Awesome take on the pictures. I've got some catching up to do on your blog brotha…Emily's jersey is really cool, bet she can't wait to wear it. I was sorry to hear about Spilly's mom. She was a really nice lady…My dream vacation is almost over man. Back to the real world on Thurday…D

i agree is doing what he wants and like people posted a long time ago he is not strong enough to beat madara so he is staying around to see any weakness. Also this chapter was great and i can't wait to see danzoy vs but it will probably get interrupted by .
danzo needs to die already
I remember the previous Ssasukev/s Naruto whre Naruto Punched Sasuke so as to try and BASH some sense into him....
I think now that Naruto himself needs the same treatment. Maybe Kakashi should punch him in the face and make him watch Twilight movies for 100 hours or something.. LOL. xD
Getting really Bored of Naruto stuck in pretty much the same position with same Glum-looking Face. Hope he starts moving for a fight soon..
Other than the NaruGaara part this Episode was very nice, I can't really support all the Sasuke fan-boys/girls because I really don't know what Danzo is capable of and since He pulled out all those sharingans(In his Arm... xD) I think Danzo is gonna be a Very Hard man to beat. Also maintaining such Chakra levels would be amazing ly Hard as even Kakashi (Agreed he is no Chakra Bank but still) can have problems maintaing just one...
So that might mean Danzo is a Chakra monster maybe outdoing even Shark-boy (wonder what Happened to him.. Still gotta gut-feeling he might be out there somewhere, even the I know of the Giant Shark-Bullet thingy.. )
Think this fight is gonna be amazing with Danzo ulling out some UBER cool Jyutsus. Can't wait for it.. Baah one more week is painful..... :p
whoa! I did not expect that arm. I want to see what's under the face wrap--3 eyes or 4? Hmmm...I can't wait to see what sick stuff Kishimoto-sensei comes up with for this fight.
I don't have much of an idea of what is going to happen with it.
Maybe Sasuke will take back what belongs to the Uchiha. Either way I want Sasuke to kill Danzo. I didn't think they would fight so soon. Hopefully Sakura will not make an appearance here or at least not interfere.
As for Naruto, his story is getting kind of boring. He is just kind of there now. Not that I'm complaining about Sasuke screen time or frame time rather. I'm glad its finally gotten to his story line, been waiting forever.
I've found myself liking Toby's character, it'd be cruddy if he betrays Sasuke as I suspect he might down the road but I think Sasuke will have something up his sleeve. I don't think we ever got to know exactly what he saw in the secret Uchiha meeting area. Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have missed something or it just went over my head in all the excitement.
I don't even know. I'm just trying to wait as patiently as possible to find out what's going to happen. By the way, patience is not my strong point. mou, how come i can't do chibi character icons any more?
or it means that danzo is an idiot who will have one minutes worth of chakra then sasuke will wipe the floor with him
this should shut most of the ppl up by now
-ppl say sasuke doesnt train
-naruto has healing abilities to make him train more in a day sasuke doesnt
madara is an awesome teacher hat train u in the fire n guarantees ull be safe afterwards n uses the healing girl wisely.
so far madra trained him againtst 8 tails 3 kages and one more right now .
this should make him stronger than naruto at the moment.
good chapter....but im still wondering something......is it just me or did Danzo look like he had all Mangyeko Sharingans in his arm??
Damn! How many sharingan he really has? Good chapter!

No, he didn't. They all appear to have three tomoe.
It was a great chapter :D
1. It's probably just me but I found the battles very confusing (maybe because I just got up hehe )
2. The arm...I mean who was expecting...THAT...-.-... I think it is utterly awesome, except it must use MASS of chakra... unless the old elephant has something else up his sleeves...
3. Last but not least...Gaara the great philosopher of Naruto strikes again... TAKE THAT Aristotle, Archimedes, Plato, Socrates and other bearded people... you just got PWNED by a 16 year old...
Can't wait for next week :D
P.S. Next chapter... Danzo takes his pants off to reveal even more sharingans on his legs and you know what -.-

Roflmao!!! yup u'll never knw, he may just go ahead and do that :D ..
but really Danzo just bought a whole new meaning to the word "Hand-Eye Co-ordination" xD
(Danzo, Team Hawk scene)
Madara: ...(I'll surely enjoy this fight...)
Sasuke: ...
Danzo: Your sharingan, is mine.
Sasuke: Like I care.
Danzo: Hm?
Sasuke: One thing for sure...Your end is near.
(Wind blows)
-Sasuke rushes towards Danzo grabbing his sword, as Danzo jumps backwards grabbing a Kunai from the ground (That Torune threw earlier) and throws it towards Sasuke, Sasuke then blocks the Kunai attack with his sword as he continues rushing towards Danzo, Sasuke then moves super fast and appears infront of Danzo with a Chidori, as Sasuke throws his sword towards Danzo, he ducks, and Sasuke counters him with his Chidori-
Sasuke: You're mine.-Dashes with his Chidori-
Danzo: Hm. -Dodges easily jumping behind Sasuke, and landing 5 meters away-
Sasuke: ...Lucky dodge. (How did he dodge that easily?)
Danzo: Attacks like that one won't hit me. I have more than just a Sharingan, all achieved level 3, imagine a strong Sharingan x6 or more. I can see your attacks before they even come closer to me.
Karin: JUST POP 'EM UP SASUKE!!!
Danzo: Tch. you pest. *Referring to Karin*
Sasuke: (I have to think of a way to counter it...those Sharingans are the problem...Wait, if I can distract him with a decoy...and then get him from behind, he shouldn't be able to get me, even if he detects my move at the last second, his body won't respond in time...but, Clone Jutsu isn't gonna work, and even if I was able to do the Shadow clone Jutsu...it won't work either. This calls for my new trick...the lightning clone, which lightning Chakra runs inside the body, it'll appear as if it was the real me.) Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!
-Fires a flame-like-dragon towards Danzo-
Danzo: Weak. Earth Style: Mud Wall! -spits mud as it forms a huge, strong rock wall-
-The smoke caused by the dragon flame disappears slowly-
Danzo: He's still there. -Rushes towards him- you didn't seriously think it would be that easy did you?!
Sasuke: Tsk...-rushes towards him-
Danzo: (Something's wrong...is he focusing that much Chakra in his body?!)
Sasuke: Chidori!
-Danzo dodges grabbing Sasuke's left hand arm and his right shoulder-
Danzo: Got you.
Sasuke: Grr.......-grins- Heh. -Grabs Danzo's shoulders hardly-
Danzo: What..?
-Sasuke appears behind him with Chidori Sharp Spear, as he launches it towards Danzo-
Sasuke: Game Over!
Danzo: Oh no! -kicks the Lightning-Clone away as it explodes, he then tries to dodge but he was too late, half of his arm was cut down, as he slides dodging to the right, Sasuke lands-
Sasuke: Heh, got most of the Sharingans down.
Madara: Woo ho. a brilliant move.
Karin: Nice work, Sasuke!
Danzo: ...No matter. You might have gotten many of my Sharingan, but that surely won't happen again. (I lost just so many! I have to be more careful.)
Sasuke: Now for the rest. -Stares-
(Team Kakashi scene)
Kakashi: Yamato, let's go inside now.
Yamato: ...Right. You better come in too Naruto, or you'll catch a cold.
Naruto: ...
Yamato: ...Oh well. -goes in with Kakashi-
Naruto: ...(What...what am I gonna do? "Friend"...this word...)
Sai: ...I'll disappear for now. -the Ink-Clone shatters-
Naruto: (...Friend...Sasuke...yeah...that's what I have to do.)
???: -Lands- Well, well, look what we have here. Standing alone outside? catching a cold won't be a good thing you know.
Naruto: Huh...what are you doing here, Shikamaru?
Shikamaru: Well, it's just that Team Sakura took too long, and they're late, so I thought it would be better if we made our move as well.
Naruto: What do you mean by "we"?!
Hinata: H-Hi...Naruto...-Blushes-
Naruto: Hinata!
(Team Sakura scene)
Kiba: STOP!
-They all stop rushing-
Sakura: W-what is it?
Kiba: I've found Sasuke!
Everyone: ?!
Sakura: Really?!
Kiba: Yeah...but--
Sakura: But...what?
Kiba: He's fighting with someone. And if I'm not mistaken, it's Danzo.
Everyone: ?!
Sai: L-lord...Danzo?! (If I get there...then, he'll know that I betrayed him.)
Sakura: That...Danzo...let's go there now!
Kiba: Wait a minute! let me concentrate a little...(...that's...definitely him...) There's also a scent of that Masked-guy from the Akatsuki we fought before.
Sakura: N-no way...then, he's definitely on Sasuke's side! (This makes things harder...)
Rock Lee: Are there more of them?
Kiba: The Akatsuki? I don't think so...at least, there are no others with crazy chakras like they usually have. but, they got someone else with them, that's for sure.
Sakura: So, it's a Three against One?
Kiba: No. Eventually, that Masked-guy and that other one aren't involved. Sasuke is the only one fighting.
Sakura: Alright. Actually even IF they were involved, I wouldn't care. I'm going anyway.
Kiba: ...!
Sakura: This time, no holding back. Whether I die or live, I'll complete this job as a true Shinobi.
Kiba: ...Heh!
Rock Lee: ...Right! we're with you!
Sai: ...-Smiles-
Sakura: Let's move! -They scatter-
(Danzo, Team Hawk scene)
Danzo: No matter, I still have many Sharingans, do you know how much jutsu they copied already? do you know how much powerful they ARE?! -Fire Style: Dragon Bomb! -a fire bomb is launched- Wind Style: Air blow! -the fire is mixed with the wind making a bigger fire-
Sasuke: Tch! Fire Style: Fire-Ball Jutsu! -the fire ball counters it as they explode, Sasuke jumps with a Chidori-
Danzo: Ha! Earth Style: Rock Slide! -The pillar that Madara is standing on broke apart as it is falling on Sasuke-
Sasuke, Madara: ?!
Madara: Oh boy! -Jumps landing on the ground-
Sasuke: Gah! -punches some rocks as more falls on him-
Karin: Sasuke!
Sasuke: Gah...*Pant*...*Pant*...You old frog...I'm not gonna fall for that again. (No matter how many Jutsu he might have, he will be out of chakra if he used 'em alot, and that will be my advantage!) ...-Closes his eyes-...Mangekyo Sharingan! Amaterasu! -Glaring at Danzo as Danzo began running off-
Danzo: Eh...-running- (If that touches me!)
-Sasuke following him by sight, as Amaterasu appears at every spot Sasuke stares at-
Danzo: If that keeps up...
-Sasuke moves his sight quickly as the Amaterasu catches up to Danzo-
Danzo: GAH!!! -They start burning him- Ah...! removes his upper cloth, as his right arm, neck and chest are a bit damaged-...*Pant*...
Sasuke: Gah! -Places his hand on his bleeding eye-
Danzo: *Pant*...Fine. You used yours, now I'll use mine. -Removes the bandages around his eyes-Mangekyo Sharingan!
Sasuke, Madara, Karin: ?!
Sasuke: ...What...
Madara: Hm, I wonder how he unlocked it. (I don't remember Shisui had them unlocked. Now let's see their powers, and how much have he mastered it. I might end up stepping in.)
Karin: N-N-No way! an old hag has it?!
Danzo: Now it's time, for you to witness, 'My' Mangekyo Sharingan!
Danzo has the Mangekyo Sharingan ?! What is Sasuke going to do? how will he counter it? and what exactly are it's powers?!

I guess his intentions are good but his methods are just a bit OTT
My view on it is that Danzou is as mad as Madara: ready to do anything to become Hokage, anything for the sake of power. As he didn't have any real skills, he decided to borrow them and implanted the eyes of dead Uchihas in him.
Well, I don't think he has Amaterasu, so Sasuke should be able to burn him down. Unless he has water element.

I guess Sasuke: top of the list. Biggest chackra, easier to find... and it is a given they may find Sakura there.

Hope you're right!
He should have lots of chackra even in his ass, lol. Otherwise he won't be able to control them.
Dunno about Danzo but I think Naruto is going to set out to try and stop Sakura and he will see the Raikage and his brother. We'll probably see them separately in the beginning and as Naruto senses a large mass of chakra nearby, so does Samehada. Killer Bee and Raikage realize that the only thing with such a large amount of chakra could be - the only host left besides Bee - Naruto. They meet up and the Raikage is surpised to see Naruto is the last host. They will talk and decide that Naruto has one final training to undergo - he has to train to use the 9 tails' powers without losing control over his body. I am not very sure but I think either the two brothers are going to accompany him on his search for Sakura or they will make him abandon the search and go with them.
Killer Bee may well be the only person who can teach Naruto to control the fox. And while that would be almost impossible as probably nobody can seal back its chakra, I think Samehada will be vry happy to absorb the excess chakra of the Nine-tails so that Naruto won't transform. Shadow clones may play a part of this training as well but not more than 5-10 clones, because there is only one Samehada.
Though this prediction has nothing to do with the forthcoming battle I believe it is not something to easily overlook. I believe it is going to be correct plus minus a few details.
As for the Danzo vs Sasuke fight I can say only that Danzo must have a lot of sleeves full of tricks as the discovery that his arm has so many Sharingan eyes in it is made before he even starts to fight with Sasuke and Madara. It is not like any previous battle in the manga for such an advantage to be unmasked at such an early stage of the battle unless there will be even more advantages for Danzo to come. And I believe in the midst of the fight Sasuke will develop his own Mangekyou Sharingan technique which will be beyond awesomeness.
P.S. This is my first day of predicting the next events in Naruto, please don't be too hard on me

madara is an awesome teacher hat train u in the fire n guarantees ull be safe afterwards n uses the healing girl wisely.
so far madra trained him againtst 8 tails 3 kages and one more right now .
this should make him stronger than naruto at the moment.
When did Madara train Sauske? That's not what's going on. Madara is using Sauske to:
1) See how far Sauske's skills have progressed
2) Because Madara can't fight
For those of you that say Madara is awesome, I disagree (at least he hasn't shown it yet). He has the dimension capability which is essentially a defensive move. Again, he said a while back that he was severely limited so his offensive techs must not be available.
I doubt that Foo & Torune are dead. The jutsu that Madara uses only teleports people to another dimension (like where Sauske & Karin were). Only problem is you can't get back without Madara bringing you back! lol
Danzo's arm was SICK!! Can't wait to see what he can do. Who thinks this is the link between Danzo, Orochimaru, and Kabuto?

Good prediction (except for Sauske developing MS during the fight). Rarely do they pull the big guns out right away.
I know Sasuke has the MS but I'm saying every user of MS has his own technique. So this battle will probably be the debut of Sasuke's own MS technique. And probably Sakura and the others looking for him will find him, but will stealthily monitor the fight. After it ends and Danzo escapes/ is killed (unlikely because then what was with all that Root stuff, is it just going to end by Danzo's death shortly after his ambitions have been revealed) they are going to confront a weakened Sasuke. Madara will teleport himself, Sasuke and Karin elsewhere and the leaf ninja will return. And probably they will see Naruto and the Raikage and his brother. They will tell Naruto about Sasuke's powers and he will realize that he is no match for him so he will accept being trained by Bee
Nice chapter. Madara is so unbelieveable unfair with his never getting hit tech. He�s just like Pain, only that he can`t see in all directions (or can he? ) and that he would`t have to wait 5 sec. before his ultimate defend. The only way to beat him is either during counter attack as Fuu and Tourtune(?) said or to attack from a direction he can`t see the attacker. And what about his dimention tech.? Can you counter it? Or are you screwed once he got you with it?:confused: I can`t even imagine how awsome he is when he can attack You know what that means right? The first Hokage must have been the best Kage in Historie to even stand a chance against him, and also beating him. Not to mention how insane The sage of the six paths must have been:confused: Even words can`t explain him.
Dounzo is a wicked man. He has only taken off the bandage on his right hand. He still got his left foot and half of his head. Maybe he got some sort of Chakara chamber in his foot and some sort og insane tech. in his head?
I think Kakashi and Yamato head back to the village to settle the Hokage question while Sakura and co. arrives at the summit and see Tsukikage in a clash with Sugitsuge and Juugo. Bee and Raikage head home like Gaara, while Mizukage arrives at the fight scene in the end of the chapter or the next.
Naruto is either going to meet up with Sakura and Co, head back to the village, find Sasuke in the end of 477 or be found by bee and samahada or something like that.:D
maybe this is madara's another test for sasuke if how far he can go. or if he can kill a hokage by himself since he was unable to kill any kage at the summit. madara has another pet of his own.

Seeing my name combined with the word "economics" appealed to the CEO in me as well as the CPA. It's only when I read into the article, "Abenomics Turns Japan Upside Down," that I learned the true, worldwide impact of Japan's leaders flooding the economy with yen to end the country's 20-year deflationary plunge.
Prices in Japan started rising__from luxury goods at Chanel and Tiffany to the hamburgers at McDonald's, which went from 100 yen last month to 120 yen now. Consumers are rushing to buy before prices get too out of reach.
"After more than two decades of sluggish growth, and seemingly never-ending deflation, the central bank, the bank of Japan, has set a target of achieving 2 percent inflation within two years," writes Brian Robins for the Sydney Morning Herald. "Its change of policy follows the election of new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [pronounced AH-bey], who has made it clear he wants the central bank to become more aggressive in pulling the economy out of its despondency."
Robins says the global financial crisis, which has hurt investment in the United States and Europe, encouraged funding in Japan (where the yen is strong) and Australia. Abe's plan includes monetary, fiscal, and reform programs to force mild inflation, and it is seeing some success. Now, the yen is moving downward to about 100 to the dollar.
"The country's manufacturers were quick to breathe a sigh of relief. A lower dollar gives them some breathing space in export markets. They have uniformly upgraded profit forecasts and, perhaps more important for the domestic economy, flagged higher bonuses for their employees."
As Japan tries to fight its way out of deflation, other countries in the world may soon find themselves in it. According to the May 25 edition of the Economist, Japan's new economic policy might force deflation on the rest of the world. "The lower yen will allow Japanese exporters to undercut their competitors." Making it your business
The macroeconomic trends outlined here might be hard to relate to your everyday job. However, they might be more relevant than you think. Take, for example, forecasting, which is defined in the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge (OMBOK) Frameworkas follows: "forecasting is attempting to predict or project future statistics—typically, demand or sales. It requires that all factors surrounding the decision-making process are recorded. Factors that affect forecasting include sales demand patterns, economic conditions, competitor actions, market research, product mixes, and pricing and promotional activities."
At its simplest, business is about trading goods or services for money. If the value of money is changing drastically__because of inflation or deflation__forecasting becomes trickier. Add to that the fact that when inflation threatens, consumers and companies hurry to buy needed products before the prices go too high. Inventories might not exist to support these buying trends, and different challenges arise.
The complexity of today's worldwide business environment requires skilled supply chain and operations management professionals. Through its certifications, education, conferences, and more, APICS supports professionals in a variety of industries and empowers leaders who can navigate these tricky situations.

I still feel pretty lost when it comes to weaning. We've officially been weaned about a month
But for a week or so (maybe longer) my breasts ahave been sore. I havent been engorged for a long long time. My breasts didnt leak or anything when we stopped nursing. But I was wondering if the soreness is something to do with weaning? I thought maybe i had some plugged ducts, but its hard to tell.
And I've been sleeping on my stomach a lot more lately, maybe that is the reason.
I dont know, I guess I'm just asking if those of you who weaned, were your breasts tender for weeks after?

As the new deadline to comment on the Delaware River Basin Commission's Draft Natural Gas Development Regulations approaches on April 15, responses are arriving in droves and few are supportive.
Some say the regs are too tough. Others say they're not tough enough. Many charge that the agency should not move forward until a cumulative impact study has been completed. Others argue that the DRBC should limit its purview to water issues. But the embattled agency stands behind its position that what happens to the forested watershed of the Upper Delaware Region ultimately affects the Delaware River.
Meanwhile, multitudes are weighing in, with more than 4,000 online comments as of March 29. In Pennsylvania, the Wayne County Planning Commission's (WCPC) harshly toned letter calls the draft regulations "an overreaching exercise and power grab on the part of the DRBC that can lead to countless other instances of the DRBC intervening in local land use issues.
With the right mix of self-proclaimed proactive envelope pushers in place at the DRBC, this first step is all that would be needed to justify the continued growth of DRBC's intervention in local land use issues."
The WCPC's primary complaint, repeated four times, is that the DRBC "should focus solely on the issues of water allocation and wastewater disposal."
Similarly, the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance (NWPOA) has provided an assessment of its opposition. Some key points that members are encouraged to comment on include NWPOA's opinion that excessive setbacks and the definition of a water body will prevent drilling on most land in the basin; state and property owners' rights are not being protected, DRBC is overstepping its compact by getting involved in land use issues and is ignoring economic development of the basin; there is duplication of what is already regulated by the states; the regs are discriminatory against the gas industry, holding them to more severe standards than other water users; and there are no time limits on the DRBC to act, ensuring "death by delay" for important projects.
NWPOA further charges that since the regulations are fee driven, the DRBC "may no longer be dependent on the states for funding and could become a super agency answering to no one."
Meanwhile, three adjacent New York towns have submitted shared concerns about the risks of natural gas extraction, including "dangers to our citizens' health, safety, property values and long-term economic sustainability." The towns of Lumberland, Highland and Tusten assessed the regs individually and worked together to identify points for comment.
The letters commend the DRBC for its commitment to protecting the existing high water quality of the basin, then cite Section 7.4: "Each [project] will involve land disturbance for such appurtenances as roads, well pads, pipelines, impoundments, and compressor stations; and most will entail the withdrawal, diversion, importation into or exportation out of the basin of surface water, ground water, non-contact cooling water, mine drainage water, and/or treated wastewater. These uses may have a substantial effect, either individually or cumulatively, on the surface water and groundwater resources of the basin."
The towns argue for the need for "thorough and exhaustive scientific studies in advance of industry activity," including a basin-wide cumulative impact study. "The time to study widespread and multiplied impacts should happen before drilling and especially before the momentum and expectations of the industry become unstoppable and not subject to proper oversight due to the sheer magnitude of its presence in the basin."
Concerns are also cited for inadequate enforcement capabilities at the DRBC as well as the two primary state agencies it will rely upon, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New York Department of Conservation (DEC), both of which have suffered severe budget and staffing cuts.
The towns have also requested extension of the comment period another six months, additional hearings in New York City and Philadelphia and a second round of hearings following publication of the revised draft regulations.
Those on various sides of the issue appear to agree on one matter, charging that the regs provide too much discretionary authority to the agency. "Tremendous discretionary power is given, under these regulations, to the Executive Director and staff," writes NWPOA. "There is tremendous potential for abuse and the lack of certainty will discourage investment in our region."
"The draft document makes constant reference to 'approval by rule,' which grants the Executive Director discretionary authority to speed up the approval of drilling projects," notes the Town of Lumberland letter. "We can only see this devolving into a situation where projects become rubber stamped due to the heat of the moment and the high volume of applications—leaving many projects lacking in proper oversight."
Written comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. on April 15. Visit www.state.nj.us/drbc/ [2] for more information.

Mark SchorerIt is probable that no other work of this generation has made us desire freedom more earnestly or loathe tyranny with such fullness. 1984, the most contemporary novel of the year and who knows of now many past and to come, is a great examination into and dramatization of Lord Acton's famous apothegm, " power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrups absolutely.

The Cheesecake Factory at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki says it will reopen this Monday after a three-week closure due to a kitchen fire.
The restaurant will resume normal business hours at 11 a.m. The grand reopening will be preceded by a traditional Hawaiian blessing of the restaurant. The public is welcome to attend the blessing ceremony at 9:30 a.m.
The Cheesecake Factory is lauding the efforts of the Honolulu Fire Department for its work in extinguishing the fire. The Royal Hawaiian Center management team and the restaurant's repair and construction teams have been instrumental in expediting the reopening.
Workers were paid their regular wages throughout the entire closure, according to the restaurant.

Have Arm, Will Travel…
Say what you will, it was a win…
Tom Szczerbowski/US Presswire
A night after losing 3-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in a game that probably could have been won if a clutch hitter like Johnny Damon, Melky Cabrera, Hideki Matsui or Jerry Hairston, Jr. were on the roster, the Yankees returned to their winning ways with a 11-5 victory over the Jays. It was another solid fill-in performance by Dustin Moseley. He was only responsible for 2 of the runs, as the remainder were charged against Chad Gaudin. Moseley has definitely stepped up in a big way during the absence of Andy Pettitte. After fretting what life would be like with Sergio Mitre after Andy went on the DL, manager Joe Girardi quickly reversed course and went with Moseley, a decision that has proven to be very fruitful. Moseley is not the front-end starter you want in the play-offs, but for a team trying to battle its way to the AL East Championship, he has been exactly what the doctor ordered.
After losing to the Jays last night, the Yankees found themselves in a first place tie with the Tampa Bay Rays who defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Mention has to go to Rays closer Rafael Soriano who threw a 9-pitch 9th inning that resulted in 3 strikeouts. It was quite an impressive feat. Why did the Atlanta Braves let Soriano get away again?…
Johnny Damon has apparently invoked his no-trade clause to stay in Detroit after being claimed on waivers by the Boston Red Sox. All things considered, I am glad that Johnny opted to leave his Yankees legacy intact. Damon was clearly one of the primary players responsible for the fall of the Curse of the Bambino as the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series, however, he was later able to cut the cords with the Red Sox after failed contract negotiations (or lack thereof) to sign with the Yankees where he ultimately won another championship. Had he returned to Boston, he would have tarnished his Yankees legacy and turned the Yankees Universe against him. David Cone was one of my favorite Yankees, but I don't know if I can ever forgive him for going to Boston. I would have hated to see Johnny return to Boston. When I broached the possibility to my Red Sox friends, I received responses like "ugh!", "ick!", and "no!". While Jason Varitek and David Ortiz may have welcomed Johnny back, I am not sure that he would have been embraced by the RSN. Perhaps he would have, but did the Red Sox claim Damon because they truly wanted him or did they do it to block the Rays? As an aging player, I could have understood the player's desire to play meaningful September games. However, for Johnny, there was so much at stake personally. He was a good Yankee, and hopefully, he'll let that legacy stand on its own merits. No reason to ruin it by going back to Beantown. If the Yankees had just waited out Damon's demands and brought him back to the Bronx, none of this would have been necessary. Who knows where he'll play in 2011, but for now, I remain proud of Damon for standing by his principles and commitment.

In an off-topic comment, I was dismayed to hear that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice will miss at least half of the season following hip surgery. Given that the injury was suffered during the NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints, I am not quite sure why Rice waited until now to have surgery. He was the first true threat since the Vikings traded Randy Moss, so Brett Favre is definitely facing a challenge in what should be his final season. This morning, there were reports the Vikings were close to signing former Packers wide receiver Javon Walker who clashed with Favre at times during their days in Green Bay. With Percy Harvin's on-going bouts with migraines, the best receiver at this point is probably Bernard Berrian which does not bode well for the Vikings and Favre.

Ahhh….Johnny Damon….I honestly don't know what the reception would have been for him. It is one thing to go to the Yankees – it is another thing to say he would never go to the Yankees and then go there! And the chances of him being with the Tigers next year? I don't think it is high.
The final push is coming – I wish the Red Sox could have taken both games of the doubleheader but one is better then none. The last month and a half is going to be crazy!!

"Superb for relaxation!"
I was so surprised this collection served a dual purpose - not only by providing a beautiful collection of poems to listen to by an exceptional group of readers, but it also is extremely relaxing, having the capability of virtually transporting you to another time and place. Highly recommend it!
"Like a symphony during a hike in the woods"
I love the outdoors but can't always get away - these audio poems are a similar experience and can be listened to over and over
Some of the female voices were too breathy/overly dramatic for me, but overall I feel I couldn't have made a better choice

On Monday, February 13 at the Honesdale Borough Council bi-monthly meeting, B. F. Monaghan, the president of the Honesdale Borough Council, reversed an action of the board taken at a recent meeting that condemned an allegedly improper removal of pieces of mail meant for two borough policemen that informed them that they would be laid off.
The original motion made by councilman Bob Jennings asked that the matter be taken up by the state attorney general and not by the county district attorney, the reason being a possible conflict of interest on the part of the District Attorney Janine Edwards, who served on the council before her election to the DA position. The alleged removal had been called "mail fraud."
"We contacted several postal inspectors in Scranton and elsewhere who said that no violations occurred since the mail arrived at the intended destination and reached the recipients properly," Monaghan said. "They said that it was an internal matter. We wish to apologize to former borough chairman Michael O'Day and former councilwoman Barbara Lewis, for any pain caused by our actions."
The council's position on the status of borough zoning officer Wayne Earley, however, did not have a happy conclusion for him. During the course of the meeting, the council removed Earley from any dealings with water issues in the borough.
Earley has been involved in a grant of $431,095 to install a retention pond in one of three problem streams that have habitually caused serious storm water runoff damage. The entire project was to cost $1,226,723. The funding came from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Monroe Gaming Program.
Earley has been the subject of several articles in the Wayne Independent about two break-ins in the zoning office at the borough hall between December 2010 and February 2011. The first break-in resulted in missing files and about $20 in petty cash. The second involved files and $40 in cash and a lap-top computer.
In the wake of disclosures about the break-ins, a special executive session meeting was called by the council on February 9, at the urging of Mayor Ed Langendoerfer. When the council returned after the executive session, Monaghan said there would be no comment on what went on in the session. Langendoerfer would not comment after the meeting since matters from an executive session are not to be made public.
When questioned during the press comment period on February 13, Monaghan claimed that Earley's job description was being scrutinized, as is going to happen with all borough employees, and was not meant to single him out. The council also moved that Earley should attend every meeting of the planning commission.

July 10, 2013 —
The first time I said goodbye I felt like Dodger knew what was going on. My mom told me on the phone that he might die soon. I expected the news eventually, but the words caught me off guard. It's sad to think about losing anything, but a childhood dog packs a special emotional wallop.
A week or so later I came home and spent some time with him. He was still himself, but he was hobbling more, seeing and hearing less. He barked outside at something no one else noticed. Late one night I sat with him while he slept and reminisced about old times. He listened. He was always good at that.
Dodger walked me up to my car when I was leaving and so about halfway up I sat down on the ground and held his face in my hands. I thanked him tearfully for being a great dog. He licked my face. I got into my car and watched as he disappeared in the rearview. I never expected to see him again....
Six months later he was waiting for me to come home with that stupid look on his face. I greeted him with surprise and excitement. He galloped away into the woods "Well he wasn't quite ready to go," I thought to myself. We said goodbye again two more times. I laughed the last time my mom told me he was doing better. "Tough old dog," I said.
I named him Dodger because when I first met him my mom brought him to a Little League game I was playing in. I hit a homerun. (The only one I ever hit.) It was clear to me that this little fella was going to be good luck. I was on a baseball team called "The Dodgers" and the name seemed to fit.
He was part golden retriever and part chow. He had long blonde soft hair and a blue tongue. He had a floppy ear and a stupid look on his face that resembled a grin.
I always thought of him as lovable but dumb. He could sit and he would usually come when you called, but that's about it. Catch was a fairly one-sided endeavor, as he would never let go of the ball. He was also unable to go through a half open door; he would look at it and bark. I tried to teach him—opening the door a little more, a little more; he always waited until it was all the way open. Maybe he was just patient.
Dodger was a gentle being who loved kids. He loved walks and adventures. I like to imagine that our huge yard was heaven to a dog. In his prime, he would bound around full of endless energy, gathering sticks and bones. Often the sticks were too big for him; he'd grip one end hard and drag it around lopsided.
Sometimes he would get up to Route 97 and a neighbor would find him amidst the traffic and bring him home. I was certain that a car would spell his end one day.
My mom called me early this morning and told me that she was taking Dodger to the vet and that it was time to put him down. It was long overdue, but still cut me up inside. He was 17, and I was 12 when we got him. He's been a presence in my life for basically as long as I can remember; and one of the last remnants of a childhood that these days feels so very far away.
Goodbye, old friend.

Every time you fill up, you pay up -- to the tune of 16.5 cents per gallon.
Honolulu City Councilman Ikaika Anderson says it's time to end the city's fuel tax.
"I do see the county highway user fee generating more money than the county share of the fuel tax generating," said Anderson.
Anderson says that would benefit drivers who put many miles on the road. Not so much for grandma or grandpa who drive sparingly.
"Do those who drive more pay less and those who drive just a few miles everyday pay the same flat rate?" asked Budget Committee Chairwoman Ann Kobayashi. "So we want to do what's fair."
Support for Anderson's proposal appears to be growing, at least for now.
On Wednesday, the Budget Committee moved Bill 22 forward with a 6-0 vote. A public hearing comes next.
"Some of my colleagues have reservations, but at this point it does in fact seem that we have support on the council to advance this forward and hopefully enact it into law," said Anderson.
"We'll see what happens after the second reading and what discussion we have on this," said Kobayashi.
Anderson has yet to attach the fee amounts that vehicle owners would pay, but moped riders may not be too happy with his proposal. Under the bill, moped owners would pay a highway user fee every year.
"They do utilize our roadways, but it's my understanding right now that motor scooters and mopeds are treated like bicycles where they pay a one-time licensing fee and that's it," said Anderson.
If his county highway user fee is successful, Anderson also wants to create a special fund for the collected revenue.
"And these monies will solely be used for the repair and maintenance of our county roads," said Anderson.

TIVOLI – An Austin man was killed in a one-vehicle rollover Friday afternoon, June 13.
Texas Department of Public Safety Cpl. Charlie Ramirez said the accident occurred at 2:17 p.m. and involved a 1993 Ford Ranger, traveling in the southbound lane of state Highway 35 about four miles south of Tivoli.
Erasto Salazar Rangel, 49, of Austin, died after his Ford lost its thread, causing the car to lose control and leave the roadway.
The vehicle rolled several times before coming to rest on its roof and facing southeast.
Rangel was killed in the rollover, and his 14-year-old passenger, Benifacio Ortiz, sustained injuries.
HALO-Flight transported Ortiz to Corpus Christi Spohn Memorial Hospital. Ortiz had lacerations to his lip and other injuries.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
The driver and passenger were wearing seat belts, according to Ramirez. The speed limit on state Highway 35 is 75 mph.
In addition to two DPS troopers, medics, the Refugio Fire Department and Refugio County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the scene.
