Mom brought home a new addition to the household yesterday: Luna. She's kind of stuffy, so my parents call her Princess. She's real pretty, though. And I think she likes me best. She'll let me get close and sniff her and even give a little lick when, instead, she hisses at Blink and Mera. Sha hasn't ever seen a dog before, so she keeps puffing up and growling at Mera, but I think Mera's more afraid of her than anything. I have to give the new girl credit, though. She's not afraid to run out and see the new people and new house, even if she runs back to hide under Mom's bed if she feels threatened. I like her. More than I thought I would, honestly. And I think it's funny how Blink has his fur in knots over her just because she's new. He'll hiss at her, but if she steps even a little bit closer, he'll run away faster than you could say "Tuna!" He's such a coward. Hopefully she'll settle in fine because she doesn't seem too excitable, and with her on my side I can probably get Blink to stop bothering me all the time. =^.^=
Mom told me I might be getting a little sister. I don't know how I feel about this. Blink is cool enough, but, you know... He's younger than I am, so he tends to get away with a lot of stuff which isn't fair and, well... he's just got soo much energy! He's calming down now that he's getting older and I've been teaching him how to be chill and all, but still. Sometimes he wants to play with me and I just want to rest. He can be so annoying. Having a little sister, I can't imagine how much attention she'd want from me. She'd be mom's little Princess and.. what would I be? Exhausted trying to keep up, I bet. And Blink can be so neurotic, he might not like her at all. Otherwise, they might gang up on me! I've put on a few pounds since I was their age and I can't keep up with all that energy. We'll see what happens. She might have already been adopted, for all I know (I can hope, at least). With Mom's new job caring for the animals at the pet store, I'm sure there will be lots more critters coming home. I suppose I should be used to it by now. The lure of the mice and guinea pig and rat and fish that she already has is definitely worn off by now. But another cat?! The next thing you know, there will be a big sloppy puppy in the house taking all my good sleep spaces and pestering me even worse than Blink. I can't even begin to imagine.
I got my first real brushing of the season today. And boy was it needed! Fur balls were rolling off me like tumbleweed on a dusty road! Mom was concerned about hairballs, since I've been coughing a little recently. I think I just have allergies. But the brushing gave me a chance to get out of that harness for a little bit. For the most part, I don't mind it too much, but on muggy hot days like it's been all week... it's soo much cooler to lounge around without all that get-up on. Mom's afraid I'll sneak out again and someone might steal me without my tags since I'm such the charmer, but I had a good romp last night with Blink (shh... don't tell Mom, I don't think she knows =^.^=) so I'm happy with just relaxing on the cool bathroom tiles today.
Blink's disappeared. He's not meowing up a storm like usual and I can't find him under the bed. If he's outside having fun without me, I'm going to be annoyed. Just because he's afraid to wander too far from Mom, he's allowed to go outside (unlike me because I like to romp and sniff all the new things). I don't think that's very fair.
Mom put some ice cubes in our water, which was nice. But they squeaked and popped at first, which kind of startled me. But the cool water was so much tastier once the ice melted. I also had a nice long belly-rub today. All in all, it's been a good day.
I guess I'll go hide under the bed right now. It's a lot cooler under there.

94 F3d 648 Gunberg Minneapolis Community Development Agency v. N Gunberg
94 F.3d 648
In re Sharon N. GUNBERG, Debtor.
MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, Appellee,
Sharon N. GUNBERG, Appellant.
No. 95-3377.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted June 14, 1996.
Filed August 15, 1996.
NOTICE: Eighth Circuit Rule 28A(k) governs citation of unpublished opinions and provides that they are not precedent and generally should not be cited unless relevant to establishing the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, the law of the case, or if the opinion has persuasive value on a material issue and no published opinion would serve as well.
Before BOWMAN, JOHN R. GIBSON, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
Sharon N. Gunberg sought relief under the Bankruptcy Laws. The Minneapolis Community Development Agency filed a complaint objecting to Gunberg's discharge. In the ensuing adversary proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court1 denied Gunberg's discharge. Gunberg appealed to the District Court,2 which affirmed the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court. Gunberg now appeals to this Court, arguing that the Bankruptcy Court erred in several respects and that the decision of the District Court should be reversed.
Having considered all of Gunberg's arguments, we conclude that the Bankruptcy Court committed no error of law, that the District Court's decision affirming the Bankruptcy Court is correct, and that an opinion by this Court would lack precedential value. Accordingly, the decision of the District Court is affirmed without further discussion.
AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

How do I connect the fiber optic loop to bypass the L7 amp?
How do I connect the fiber optic loop to bypass the L7 amp?
I purchased an additional loop and the "adapter", but neither are compatible with the connector that goes to the L7 amp.
There are two connectors on the L7; a larger rectangular sliding connector which is power and a smaller square connector which is what you need to bypass. The part actually going into the L7 is an adapter of sorts so you need to pull out the smaller two wire connector and fit it into your MOST bypasser.
Ah, that was it, thanks a lot.
Can you bypass the L7 and still have sound?
Yes but only in the front speakers. No sub either.
Ok Yeah I'm trying to get the subs to play
Can you get you subs to play if you instal a most bus to stop the back doors from crackling and hissing

On September 17, 2014, President Petro Poroshenko addressed the Parliament of Canada, to a joint sitting of the House of Commons and the Senate. President Poroshenko at the 30 minute juncture of his address referred to the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program (CUPP) and thanked Canada. Slava Ukraini was repeated by several speakers in the concluding remarks.
CUPP is a parliamentary Internship Program established in 1991 with the approval of the Speaker of the House of Commons. The program has been supported by the Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada and the USA. Regretfully the Endowment Fund which sustained the CUPP Program will be exhausted in 2015 and after 25 years the CUPP program which has received recognition by Members of Parliament and political scientists may come to an end unless new funding is found for the program. The Program's founder and only director Ihor Bardyn is doing his best to secure funding for the program for another 25 years. CUPP Alumni are campaigning to establish a new Endowment Fund.

As the trade deadline nears in Major League Baseball, teams have just about a week left to decide whether they want to be buyers, sellers, or stand pat. In truth, most teams probably already know the answer to this dilemma, but still, you never know what a hot or cold streak might do over the next seven days. With that said, this weekend's action might have a hand in the decision, although there are only two series' in each league that match winning teams against one another. Let's look at those matchups as well as the other key action and unveil our list of Top StatFox Power Trends to consider in your wagering. Vegas Odds
In the National League this weekend, two fading clubs will try to revive their pennant chase hopes when they go head-to-head in Los Angeles. The Mets have lost 10 of their last 12 games, including a 2-0 shutout at the hands of the Dodgers on Thursday. They have fallen to 7.5-games back of the Braves in the process. L.A. hasn't been a whole lot better of late, although they have won back-to-back games, both shutouts, since dropping six straight. The Mets are now 3-1 vs. Los Angeles this season, but have lost six of seven in L.A. dating back to 2008. Elsewhere, in Philadelphia, the Phillies are playing host to the Rockies. Like the Mets, Colorado has lost six of its L7 games in its current locale. They have lost six of eight games overall to fall to 4.5 games back of San Diego out West. Philadelphia seems to be just going through the motions right now, and is struggling offensively, having scored just 29 runs in its L10 games.
No one in the Senior Circuit goes into the weekend with longer than a 2-game winning streak, although San Francisco (at Arizona), St. Louis (at Chicago), and Florida (home vs. Atlanta) are the hottest teams over the last couple of weeks.
In the American League, the big series is in Texas, where the Rangers already started building the cushion over the Angels in the West Division with a 3-2 win on Thursday night behind Cliff Lee. Anaheim is in desperation mode for the rest of the series, since it has fallen to six games back, and any deeper of a hole will be very difficult to make up against a Texas team that can finally boast of having one of the league's best pitching staffs. The Rangers are 3-0 vs. the Angels in Arlington this season and boast a 15-7 record in divisional play. Betting Lines
The other series pitting winning teams against one another is in Oakland, where the A's play host to the Central leading White Sox. The A's are surging right now, having won seven of eight games. Of course, that pales in comparison to the recent play of the pale hose, who are 28-9 since June 9th. It will be the first time these teams have played in 2010.
If you're looking to ride the league's best teams this weekend, the Rays will be in Cleveland looking to extend a run of 19-6 on the road this season against teams with a losing record, while the Yankees will be continuing a 4-game set at home versus the Royals. Baseball Odds
Now, here's our look at some of this weekend's Top StatFox Power Trends, one for each of the 15 series'.
ST LOUIS at CHICAGO CUBS

Adam Levine Dishes on Marrying Behati Prinsloo: It Feels Natural
With preparations plenty underway, Adam Levine revealed that he is more than ready to wed his stunning fiancee Behati Prinsloo.
During an interview with People magazine, the Maroon 5 singer said, "I definitely feel like I'm sitting in the chair I'm supposed to be sitting in right now."
"It all feels very natural," Adam added when gushing about his gorgeous Victoria's Secret model gal.
There are plenty of other projects on Adam's plate when he isn't busy wedding planning. He also made his big screen debut in "Begin Again." Of the film, Levine said, "I had a lot to prove, so I had to pretend like I knew what I was doing.
"I was also really busy, so I didn't have time to stew in my own insecurities."

text: Granted, Dolly Parton has a large canvas to play with, but I had no idea that she had tattoos all over breasts. Apparently she does though and Jennifer Saunders has seen them. Up close. Naked. Jennifer was on Graham Norton this weekend and says she was in a restaurant with Roseanne Barr eating and Dolly came up to their table and sat down. The talk turned to tattoos. "I was in a restaurant with Rosanne Barr. Dolly was there and talking about tattoos. She winked at us and said, 'This will go no further' and then undid her top and there were her t**s and she has the most exquisite tattoos – angels and butterflies. They are the most divine, Titian like drawings… I kid you not. Although I did wake up in the morning and thought that couldn't have happened. But it did. It was one of the strangest evenings ever."

Is 'defending' being phased out in Italy?
Many football fans and journalists outside of Italy have commonly referred to Serie A as being a defensive league.
This notion seems justified with the likes of Paolo Maldini, Gaetano Scirea, and Alessandro Nesta being just a few of the big name defenders to be produced within the peninsula.
Those players went on to represent the Azzurri and won the last two World Cups for their country in 1982 and 2006, respectively.
However, heading into the 2014 edition, times are changing in calcio. Far more attackers are being developed within the various clubs' academies and more attackers from abroad are being signed.
Suddenly, a national team who prided itself on winning with catenaccio tactics can no longer accomplish that. AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio is seen as the next great Italian defender, and he may very well be, but there aren't many others that will be able to form a back line capable of winning World Cup and European Championships with the Azzurri.
Bari appeared to have the future centre-back partnership when they nurtured Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Ranocchia.
The former has steadily improved since moving from Inter to Juventus, but has shown weaknesses when playing in a back four.
The latter, meanwhile, has struggled immensely since becoming a member of the Nerazzurri.
Inter have been praised for their academy, but have been heavily criticised for selling those stars of the future, sometimes for very small prices.
Italian U-21 international Giulio Donati was recently sold to Bayer Leverkusen for €3 million, which has attracted even more negative attention towards the Nerazzurri. He was a standout at the European Under-21 Championships in Israel, but only played a handful of matches.
Donati is also 23-years-old, meaning he was older than almost every other player at that tournament. He made 28 appearances for Grosseto, who were relegated to Lega Pro for next season, and didn't exactly turn any heads.
Luca Caldirola is another member of the U-21 team that was produced by Inter's academy, and he too was recently sold .
He'll be at Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga, but despite being tipped as another future Azzurri regular, he also hasn't lived up to those expectations thus far. He could turn it around at Bremen and return to Italy, similar to Andrea Barzagli's route.
Matteo Bianchetti is the other defender, besides Donati, who shined for the Under-21's in Israel.
The 20-year-old centre-back made several crucial interceptions and commanded his position throughout the tournament.
He could very well be called up to the senior squad in a few years if he continues to progress.
He left for Hellas Verona in January and is set to stay in Verona for the club's return to Serie A in August. That can only help his development and might even become a first team regular.
In terms of those already with the seniors, Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini, Davide Astori, Ignazio Abate, and Cristian Maggio are some of Cesare Prandelli's regulars at the back.
The former has enjoyed a resurgence since joining Juventus from Wolfsburg, but hasn't thrived in Prandelli's four man defence. He's also 32-years-old and will be reaching the twilight of his career before the 2018 World Cup.
Astori was another future talent, but he's now 26 and still hasn't lived up to that title. To make things worse, his Azzurri tenure hasn't won over any doubters.
Maggio and Abate are essentially wingers, plus they've committed too many errors, two things that Italian internationals cannot do.
Of every defender, Chiellini may be the best, but even he has been out of his element at the Confederations Cup. Switching to a back three could fortify the defence, but when he retires along with Barzagli, there will be no one else capable of partnering with Bonucci (except Bianchetti, perhaps).
Defenders generally peak and enjoy their best years of football between the ages of 29 and 34, so any of Donati, Caldirola, or other young Italians could eventually star for the Azzurri.
However, with foreigners like Matija Nastasic leaving Serie A and without any decent domestic prospects, Italy could become a league built on an attacking mentality out of necessity due to no quality individual defenders.
That in turn may prevent the national team from succeeding. After all, a team that is difficult to break down can progress deep in cup competitions.

Hakka people In Taiwan comprise about 15 to 20% of the population and are descended largely from Guangdong immigrants: they form the second-largest ethnic group on the island.
Taiwan's Hakka population concentrates in Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County, Miaoli County, and around Chungli in Taoyuan County, and Meinong District in Kaohsiung City, and in Pingtung County, with smaller presences in Hualian and Taitung County. In recent decades many Hakka have moved to the largest metropolitan areas, including Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.
Many people in Taiwan are of mixed Hoklo, Hakka, and Taiwanese aborigines heritage. Approximately half of the population of Hakka in Taiwan also speaks Taiwanese Hokkien, and it is highly likely that many Taiwanese-speaking households descend from Hakka families in Taiwan who lost their language a few generations back.
The Taiwanese variant of the Hakka language resembles other variants of Hakka spoken in other parts of the world, but differs vastly in terms of pronunciation due to the influence of Taiwanese Hokkien. Therefore it is difficult, though not impossible, for speakers of other Hakka variants to understand Taiwanese Hakka.

Prospective solicitors taking the traditional university route need to complete:
A Foundation programme is a degree that satisfies the Society's Foundation programme accreditation guidelines. For the time being, such degrees are exclusively LLB degrees. However, the flexibility contained within the Foundation programme accreditation guidelines means that there is potential for variation in the form of degree undertaken.
A Foundation programme must deliver certain learning outcomes. These outcomes are divided into three areas: (i) knowledge, covering certain areas and sources of law; (ii) skills, including subject-specific skills, general transferable intellectual skills and key personal skills and (iii) values and attitudes.
Any student studying a Foundation programme degree that wishes to continue on to becoming a solicitor must achieve these outcomes for entry to the next stage on the route to becoming a solicitor - Profession Education and Training stage 1.
PEAT 1 is commonly known to students, universities and the profession as the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. This vocational stage is the stage of legal education where knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are learned in a simulated environment.
The PEAT 1 Outcomes that a student requires to achieve over the course of the Diploma can be found on the right hand side of this webpage.
Students undertaking PEAT 1 will have more choice and flexibility in their course and up to 50% of the course can be made up of electives.
PEAT 2 is known to the profession as the traineeship. This is the work-based stage of legal education where the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values introduced in the Diploma are built on and honed in a live environment. Trainees will work towards reaching the 'standard of the qualifying solicitor'.
Trainees also need to undertake trainee continuing professional development (TCPD) as a stuctured learning element of PEAT 2.
PEAT is a landmark development in Scottish legal education that facilitates the development of legal skills and integrates these with legal knowledge and ethical behaviours.
PEAT comprises PEAT 1 (the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice) and PEAT 2 (the traineeship). PEAT should be regarded as a whole, with PEAT 1 and PEAT 2 forming two components of that whole.
A major change resulting from PEAT is the introduction of outcomes which apply across both PEAT 1 and PEAT 2, in relation to: professionalism; professional ethics and standards; professional communication; and business, commercial, financial and practice awareness. The two stages have never been linked in this way before and this link will provide real clarity over the course of PEAT for students, trainees, trainers, employers and the profession generally.
PEAT should therefore be viewed as a three-year process with similar learning outcomes which are continually assessed. For the first time, solicitors will know the minimum of what can be expected from a day-one trainee, as that is demonstrated by the PEAT 1 outcomes, and the minimum they can expect from a qualifying solicitor, as that is demonstrated by the PEAT 2 outcomes.

What is Agmatine Sulfate?
Agmatine is a metabolite of the vasodilating amino acid, L-arginine. When taking arginine, the body breaks it down and creates agmatine, so taking agmatine directly eliminates this process.
Agmatine Dosage
Individuals should take one capsule (500mg) once daily. Agmatine should be taken in cycles to prevent building a tolerance to this supplement.

New girlfriend? Tom Daley takes pretty US diver on a date
Tom Daley
US diver Kassidy - who was ruled out of the Olympic Games because of a shoulder injury - flew into the UK on Sunday night from Texas to see Tom.
Confirming her visit, Kassidy replied to a fan who said they were jealous she was seeing Tom: "I'm going to London tomorrow to visit. I'll put in a good word for ya."
She later wrote: "Have the whole row to myself on the way to London #winning."
Not long after 17-year-old Kassidy arrived in Britain - perfectly timed for the end of the Olympics and Tom's bronze medal win - Tom treated her to a night at the West End.
She tweeted last night along with a picture of them both: "Went to lion king! Awesome play!"
It was 18-year-old Tom's close friend and fellow GB Diver Tonia Couch who first hinted at his romance with Kassidy.
Tonia told Heat magazine: "He likes his American girls. Kassidy and he always see each other when they go away.
"They buy each other birthday presents because they're both born in May. They're not boyfriend-girlfriend but they're a very hot couple."
Anywone else think Kassidy and Tom look similar?!

The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, hailed today's local election results as a "strong performance" as figures showed his party had beaten Labour on share of the overall vote for only the second time in its history.
Today's results mean the party has 34 additional councillors and control of four northern cities: Sheffield, Newcastle, Hull and Liverpool.
In Wales, the party added 21 to its tally of councillors and strengthened its lead in Cardiff.
The elections were the first real test of Clegg's leadership since he took the reins in December.
He said the results were proof that the party was regaining momentum under his watch: "Against the predictions of most pundits, we have successfully defended the record number of council seats that we won in 2004 – the best ever year for Liberal Democrats – and for only the second time in our history, we have outpolled Labour."
However, the Lib Dem position in second place ahead of Labour masks the fact that the party's share of votes is still one percentage point down on the same elections four years ago, when the Lib Dems yielded a strong polling in the wake of the Iraq war under the leadership of Charles Kennedy.
Among the party's successes was the return of Sheffield to Lib Dem hands - the council which contains Clegg's Sheffield Hallam's constituency seat - after winning six additional seats last night.
The party also regained control of Kingston-upon-Hull, which slipped out of its hands last year after two councillors defected.
The Lib Dems also won control of Burnley and St Albans, and narrowly clung on to Liverpool city council, when an independent switched allegiances, giving the Lib Dems a majority of one.
The party's flagship council had been ranked as the worst-performing authority in the country in the latest round of performance assessments.
The party was just one seat short of overall control in a number of councils including Oldham, Warrington and Cheltenham.
It was not all good news for the Lib Dems, however, as it emerged that the party lost Pendle and West Lindsey.
John Curtice, a politics professor at Strathclyde University, said Labour's woes had helped the Liberal Democrats.
"The fact that the Labour party have done so badly is Nick Clegg's salvation," he said.
Clegg denied the results were disappointing. He said: "We were 13% a few months ago, we're now 25%. We've overtaken Labour, we've taken seats off the Conservatives, we've taken seats off Labour.
"Every time I opened a newspaper in the last month I was being told it would even be a good night if we lost a number of seats; we've won seats. If you call that a disappointment then we inhabit different planets. I am actually delighted, we are regaining momentum."
The Lib Dem party chief executive, Lord Chris Rennard, lauded today's results, which he loyally attributed to the new leadership.
He said "[Nick Clegg] has contributed a huge amount to this turnaround. Our successes have far exceeded expectations that we privately had and that anyone in the media had.
"Last night we polled 25%. That is stonkingly good in four months."

Five Weird Sisters host first Nederland Witches' Ball
Five Weird Sisters host first Nederland Witches' Ball
Celebrating Samhain during the full moon at Nederland's Community Center
NEDERLAND, COLORADO (October 14, 2012): The first annual "Nederland Witches' Ball" will take place on October 29 at the Nederland Community Center from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Featuring the band "The Mile Markers", the celebration of the end of Summer will include food and retail booths, dancing, psychic readers, and a group Spiral Dance. The evening will close with an organized ritual to honor beloved friends and relatives who have died.
Five Weird Sisters Productions, LLC is organizing the event, and tickets are $10. Costumes are encouraged but not required, and people of all faiths are welcome to come and enjoy the celebration. The Community Center is at 200 Highway 72 in Nederland. For more information visit this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NederlandWitchesBall .
The Ball is a celebration of the holiday Samhain, an ancient Gaelic harvest celebration. Samhain acknowledges the end of summer, the beginning of the dark season and a recognition of family and friends who had passed during the year, when many believe that the "veil between the worlds of the living and the dead" is the thinnest.

|Nissan Patrol
|Nissan Shatai
The Nissan Patrol (Japanese: 日産・パトロール Nissan Patorōru) is a series of large four-wheel drive vehicles manufactured by Nissan in Japan since 1951, and is sold throughout the world.
The Patrol has been available as either a short-wheelbase (SWB) three-door or a long-wheelbase (LWB) five-door chassis. The LWB version has also been offered in pickup truck and cab chassis variants alongside the wagon. Between 1988 and 1994, Ford Australia marketed the Patrol as the Ford Maverick. The Maverick was available as a competitor to the Nissan-branded Patrol. Also, in some European countries the Patrol was, for a short while marketed by Ebro as the Ebro Patrol. Since 1980, in Japan it has been known as the Nissan Safari. The Patrol is available in Australia, Central and South America, South Africa, parts of Southeast Asia and Western Europe as well as Iran and the Middle East, excluding North America where as of 2016, a modified version sold as the Nissan Armada. For the 2011 model year, it was made available in North America as the upscale Infiniti QX56.
The Y61 platform is still manufactured as a military vehicle in the countries of Asia and the Middle East, and various versions of the Patrol are widely used by United Nations agencies. These Y61 models are produced alongside the current Y62. The fourth and fifth generations are the main troop transport vehicles used by the Irish Army.

In September 1951 the 4W60 was introduced, and was exclusive to Japanese Nissan dealerships called Nissan Store which in 1966 was renamed Nissan Bluebird Store. The overall styling was similar to the Willys Jeep. The 4W60 used the 75 hp 3.7L Nissan NAK engine from the Nissan 290 bus, but with part-time four-wheel drive and a four-speed manual transmission. The grille had a pressed-steel Nissan badge. A 4W70 Carrier-based wagon was available. The 4W60 was replaced with the 4W61 in August 1955.
The 4W61 was introduced in August 1955. The 4W61 was similar to the 4W60 with the exception of the grille (with some chrome bars), a one-piece windshield that sits further back when folded, chrome strips on the hood, and unequally sized seats (passenger's side is wider than the driver's). The other big change is the engine. The 4W61 was powered by the new 3.7-litre Nissan NB engine, producing 92 hp (69 kW), and later was powered by the 105 hp (78 kW) 4.0-litre Nissan NC engine. The grille badge was chrome and red and said "NISSAN". In October 1958, the 4W61 was discontinued and replaced with the 4W65.
In October 1958 the 4W65 Patrol was introduced. The 4W65 was similar to the 4W61 except for the grille, which now had all chrome bars and redesigned front fenders and hood. A "NISSAN" badge was on the grille, and "Patrol" badges were added on the sides of the hood. An eight-seater hardtop wagon, the WG4W65, was available. The short-lived 4W66 Patrol was introduced in December 1956, powered by the 125 hp 4.0 L P engine. The 4W66 was discontinued in June 1960. There was a wagon version of 4W66 called Carrier, from 1956 to 1959.
4W70 series[edit]
The Nissan 4W70 Carrier was introduced in 1950 and was based on the Dodge M37. The 4W70 used the M37's chassis, but used the 4W60 Patrol drivetrain and engine. The grille was also different, being narrower, and different front fenders. The 4W72 was introduced in 1955 (the 4W71 designation was skipped) with changes to the hood, grille and headlights. Power increased to 105 hp thanks to the new Nissan NC engine. Modifications again to the hood, fenders and grille and an increase in power to 145 hp led to the 4W73, introduced in 1959 and now powered by the Nissan P engine.

The soft-top Nissan Patrol 60 (two-door; 2,200 mm (86.6 in) wheelbase) and G60 (two-door; 2,500 mm (98.4 in) wheelbase) were first sold in Australia in 1960. Left-hand drive L60/GL60 models were sold outside of Australia.
US customers could only get Patrols from 1962 until 1969. Patrols were sold through Datsun dealerships, making it at the time the only Nissan-badged vehicles sold in the United States until the early 1980s when the Datsun marque was being phased out. An extra long wheelbase version, the H60, was also available.
The 4WD Nissan Patrol 60 series was produced in short, medium and long wheel-base versions. It had a manual transmission type-F3B83L at first with three and later with four speeds, two-speed transfer case with part-time four-wheel drive. The motor was the P engine, a 3,956 cc (241.4 cu in) inline overhead-valve six-cylinder, featuring bathtub-shaped combustion chambers and a fully balanced seven-bearing crank shaft. With two doors in front and one at the back and four seats (driver, and companion in front, two parallel back seats), the extra long wheelbase version (the H60) was available with eight-passenger capacity.
In 1963, the KG60 (and KGL60) hard-top models were introduced.
Nissan Australia claim that the 60 series Patrol was the first vehicle to drive across the Simpson Desert in Australia, and built much publicity around the 50-year anniversary of the event, including a re-enactment with a similar vehicle ending on 21 July 2012 to publicise the impending release of their new generation Y62. However, this version of events differs from the recollections of Griselda Sprigg, the wife of Reg Sprigg, who accompanied him on the trip. In her 2001 book about the event, she describes how Reg in the Nissan was held up on the last day. Griselda and the children went on to Birdsville in a Toyota Land Cruiser which was one of three support vehicles. Reg arrived the next day in the Patrol, making it the second vehicle to cross the Simpson Desert.[1] In Being First is Forever (2012), Marge Sprigg (with Doug Sprigg present) asserts that only the Nissan Patrol G60 did the west-east crossing of the Simpson Desert. Doug and Marge undertook the crossing with their parents as young children. She claimed that the other vehicles did not cross west-east, they used another route. This contradicts the account of Griselda who described how the support vehicles, including the Toyota made the crossing together.

In the 1960s, the Indian Army showed an interest in two vehicles from the Nissan stable, they were the Nissan Patrol P60 and the Nissan 4W73. The first production units were completed at Vehicle Factory Jabalpur (VFJ) around 1969. The name as per the Indian army records is Jonga, which is an acronym for Jabalpur Ordinance aNd Guncarriage Assembly. It was built at the newly commissioned Vehicle Factory Jabalpur alongside the Nissan 4W73. The first production units were completed at Vehicle Factory Jabalpur (VFJ) around 1969. VFJ was sanctioned in 1965 for the production of three non-fighting vehicles for the Indian military: the 3-ton Shaktiman truck from MAN (Germany), the 4W73 (1-ton Carrier) and quarter-ton Nissan Patrol.
Interestingly, both the vehicles from Nissan stable were fitted with the same engines and lots of parts in common.
The Jonga was also briefly sold to civilian customers with a 4.0-litre Hino diesel engine in 1996, but the demand was low, mostly due to uncompetitive price, as well as its unappealing looks. Less than two hundred units were sold in all.
It served faithfully until the late 1990s, when it was replaced by the lighter Mahindra & Mahindra MM550 jeeps. Many army auctioned pieces have also been scrapped by their subsequent civilian owners, or stretched and converted to people carriers in rural areas.

The 160 series was introduced in 1980 to replace the 60 series. In Australia, these are officially known as the MQ Patrol. In 1980, the engines available were the L28, P40 and SD33. All models were available with a four-speed manual transmission, albeit a three-speed automatic was optional on long wheelbase vehicles fitted with the L28 engine. All 160 series Patrols came with a two-speed offset transfer case, which featured a 1:1 high gear and a low gear.
All models had leaf sprung suspension. The SD33 vehicles feature 24-volt electrics. Different trim options and colors were available, with options including vinyl or carpet floors, and blue or brown interior trim. Air conditioning and power steering were available on deluxe models.
The front differential in all models was C200. In Australia, the standard rear differential was the H233. Some versions featured limited slip differentials (LSD). A heavy duty model rear differential was used in some pickup trucks and P40 engined wagons. This was the H260 model differential. In European markets, where less onerous off-road use was expected, the light duty C200 rear differential was installed in some vehicles.
In 1983, the MQ model was updated. These are commonly known as an MK Patrol, however this does not appear on any Nissan literature or service manuals. Nissan parts dealers do not recognise these initials either. Updates included revised front end with rectangular headlights and an upgraded front suspension. The four-speed gearbox was revised and a fifth gear was added for most models. The four-speed was still used in some lower specced utes, presumably to run out stock. A high roof ("Super Roof") version of the wagon was added at the same time, which was also when the SD33T turbodiesel option was first made available. With 110 PS (81 kW) the turbodiesel can reach 145 km/h (90 mph).[2]
The naturally aspirated SD33 diesel engine was also updated at this time. Revisions included the use of three piston rings instead of five, piston oil squirters and spin on oil filter instead of a paper cartridge type. In Australia and some other parts of the world, the SD33-engined Patrols were also revised to standard 12-volt electronics. To accommodate the extra power of the turbodiesel engine, these models feature a larger clutch (270 versus 240 mm) and larger oil cooler (five rows versus three) than does the naturally aspirated version.
These were the last Patrols to carry the Datsun brand—in line with the rest of the Nissan lineup, the Patrol lost its Datsun branding in 1984 in most markets.

The 260 series was a Spanish-built version of the 160 (easily spotted by the rectangular headlamps) sold in Europe and was available in SWB and LWB with L28, SD33, RD28 and RD28T engines. The SD-engined version, at least in the UK market, had a 24-volt electrical system. Nissan Ibérica-built Patrols also received a Spanish-made Perkins diesel engine and Spanish transmission to meet local content regulations.[3] It also helped Nissan Ibérica amortize plant investments. The 260 Patrol later received a facelift with a new grille similar to that of the Y60 series which succeeded this generation elsewhere. Spanish production continued until 1994 for export and until 2002 for the Spanish domestic market.

The Y60 was radically different mechanically from its predecessors as it was the first patrol with coil sprung suspension, proving to be both more comfortable and more capable over rough ground. All Y60 patrols had a three-link live axle suspension set-up at the front, with all wagons (SWB and LWB) having a five-link set-up at the rear. The utility model was available with both a leaf spring rear axle and from 1994 onwards a choice of the same coil-spring rear axle as the wagons. Sway bars were included on both front and rear coil-sprung live axles. Power steering was standard on all models. Some wagon models have disc brakes both front and rear, with the ute retaining drum brakes at the rear. The introduction of a synchromesh on reverse gear was another improvement over the previous model.
The alternative model codes of GR and GQ were applied to left- and right-hand drive models, respectively.
Most models had a rear limited slip differential and some variants had a vacuum or electric solenoid operated manual rear differential lock. A rear sway bar release mechanism was also found on some models. Some Y60s even had a PTO-driven front-mounted winch, with an in-cab control lever found to the right of the gearstick.
The Patrol was branded Safari in Japan, where it featured a 24V electrical system, instead of the standard 12V.
The TD42 and TB42 were available with both a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic gearbox. The RD28T and the RB30 were only available with a 5-speed manual.
Trim levels in Australia included:
- DX with manual mirrors, no central locking, vinyl interior, optional AC, manual locking hubs.
- RX (from 1995) with electric mirrors, central locking, carpet interior, AC, manual locking hubs.
- ST with electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, carpet interior, AC, automatic locking hubs.
- Ti (from late 1989) with electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, velour and carpet interior, rear AC, seven speaker sound system, alloy three-spoke wheels, automatic locking hubs. The Ti model had a high roof design with sunroof until 1991. Leather and woodgrain trim was made standard in 1992 with the Series 2.
A myriad of dealer fitted accessories were available including sunroofs, roof racks, tow bars, driving lights, cargo barriers, and side steps. The TD42 was available with an optional Safari turbocharger at some Australian dealers.
Trim levels in Europe varied greatly country by country. These include designations like SLX, LX and many others in France. Finnish Patrols came standard with 2 batteries.
There were two major updates in Australia, one in 1992 (GQ Series 2), the other in 1995 (minor facelift). The most notable changes in 1992 being the introduction of fuel-injection on the TB42 motor with fuel injection, EGR valve and oil cooler on the RD28T, new seats, new trim, sound deadening and side intrusion bars. Other 1992 Series 2 refinements included the revised transmission, suspension, introducing bigger brakes, bigger wheels and the standardization of limited slip diffs and auto freewheeling hubs. This update also gave the driver new seats, trim and side intrusion bars.
In 1991 the rear indicators, tail lights and brake lights were relocated to the bumper from the body to meet Australian Design Rules, however they stayed the same in the European versions. In 1992 another set of indicators were placed on the front quarter panel.
In August 1993 the TD42 was lightened in order to reduce fuel consumption and make it rev harder. This also had the side effect of weakening the engine. The original engine can be identified by its silver rocker cover, whereas the lightened engine featured a black rocker cover. Also the RD28T got some extra changes, in this case the vacuum pump got moved from behind the alternator to the top of the engine. Also driver airbags started to appear in some European models.
1995 saw a minor facelift, with a redesigned front grille, and the RX model being introduced in Australia.
Known weaknesses include vibrations from the front end (largely fixed under warranty), cracking hinges on the rear door (due to the spare tyre's weight) and rusty rear window frames. The RD28T motor is also known to suffer from head gasket issues when driven with a heavy foot. Also European five-speed gearboxes suffer from bearing failures in fifth gear at high mileages. On the other hand, the reliability of the TD42 is almost legendary. Patrols are also known for their really strong axles and good limited slip differential (when so equipped).
From 1988 to 1994, Ford Australia rebadged the Y60 Patrol, as the Ford Maverick. This was a result of the Button car plan devised by the Government of Australia. The car was mechanically similar, the Nissan version had rear disc brakes depending on vehicle grade while the Ford only had drum brakes and featured different paint colours and trim levels.
All wagons had a 95-liter main fuel tank with the utility having a 90-liter tank and the option of a 95-liter subtank.

Y61 models first appeared in December 1997, available in 4.5-litre petrol; 4.8-litre petrol and 2.8-litre turbo diesel, 3.0-litre turbo diesel, 4.2-litre diesel, 4.2-litre turbo diesel, 4.2-litre turbo diesel intercooler variants. The alternative model codes of GR and GU were applied to left- and right-hand drive models, respectively.
Some of the drive train was changed in this model. Bigger CVs, more syncros in the manual gearboxes. The diff housings were widened to fall inline with the new body shape, but diff centers remained the same (H233 and H260). Some of petrol wagons received a coil version of the H260 diff however.
Comfort levels were also increased over GQ, especially in the seating and NVH areas.
GU IV onwards[edit]
In late 2004 (2005 model year) a significant facelift model was released, with new headlights, box flares on each guard, and larger tail lights. The troubles that plagued the ZD30 diesel around the variable turbo geometry had been resolved by this refresh.
That same year, Nissan stopped selling the Safari in Japan due to poor sales. Nissan also makes a two-door pickup version of the Y61 series available as cab chassis and with a style side tray in some markets. Although a new model has been launched, this Y61 series will still sell for offroad enthusiasts but only with few options as a basic trim.
As of 2014, Nissan discontinued the fifth generation model worldwide, except for South Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines & some other countries of Africa region where the 4x4 will compete against the Toyota Land Cruiser (J70). The fifth generation model was also discontinued in Australia and New Zealand on 29 April 2016.

The all-new, sixth generation, Y62 series Nissan Patrol was launched on 13 February 2010 at a VIP event in Abu Dhabi.[8] A luxury version (Z62) was sold as the Infiniti QX56 from 2010, which was later renamed the Infiniti QX80 in 2013. The Y62 was introduced in North America under the Armada nameplate in 2016, for the 2017 model year. It was presented at the 2016 Chicago auto show to the US market as a replacement for the Nissan Armada (WA60).
The Y62 is powered by the 5.6-litre VK56VD V8 with 400 hp (298 kW) and 560 N·m (410 lb·ft), with features such as Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) and gasoline direct injection (DIG), and mated to a seven-speed automatic. A variable 4×4 mode package allows switching between four drive modes: sand, on-road, rock and snow, with the flick of a switch. And a Hydraulic Body Motion Control System is available. Also available are an electronic-locking rear differential, hill start and hill descent control, as well as lane-departure warning, computer assisted braking and stability control. The Infiniti version launched in the United States in 2010, the first Patrol sold there since the 60 series. The Nissan Patrol version launched in Australia in early 2013.
The Nissan Patrol is offered in five different levels of trim in the Middle East: XE, SE, LE, NISMO and City Package. In Australia the Ti and Ti-L trim levels are offered, and previously the ST-L.
In 2014, a significant facelift arrived, with revised tail lights, globe housings and built-in LED headlights. New tan interior was added and new sets of wheels.
Nissan has also introduced a limited-run Patrol Black Special Edition which will be offered in 200 units. These cars will come several enhancements such as red seats, chrome detailing and a black matte exterior paint scheme.
Patrol Nismo[edit]
On launching the Nismo brand in the Middle East, The Nissan Patrol Nismo was introduced at the launch event in Dubai along with the GT-R Nismo and 370Z Nismo.[9] Unlike the standard Patrol, the Nismo version comes with (5.6-litre) V8 with 428 hp (319 kW) engine tuned by Nissan's Takumi craftsmen.[10] The suspensions of the vehicle is upgraded with Bilstein shocks and fitted with 22-inch forged-alloy wheels.[11]
Patrol Desert Edition[edit]
The Nissan Patrol Desert Edition was unveiled by Nissan at the Dubai Motor Show on 10 November 2015 in Dubai. The vehicle was designed by Mohammed bin Sulayem and it will be sold only in the Middle East.[12]

goodyear pulled out of all dirt racing and all of short track asphalt racing. i heard they shredded all remaing inventories.
Goodyears sucked anyway they were (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ty tires imo
Goodyears were the hot ticket at Syracuse for northeastern modifieds back in the late 80's/early 90's.

Georgia Blanks Lipscomb 3-0 in Season Opener
Aug 30, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. - The University of Georgia volleyball team took a 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-15) win over the Lipscomb Bisons in its season opener on Friday, August 30 in the Bulldog Invitational at the Ramsey Student Center in Athens, Ga. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 3-0 in season-openers under Head Coach Lizzy Stemke.
Jasmine Eatmon led the team offensively, going 8-for-14 with one error for an attack percentage of .385. Tirah Le'au also posted eight kills, followed by Stacey Smith and Lauren Teknipp with seven kills each. Kaylee Kehoe and Maggie Baumert paced the offense, finishing with 18 and 13 assists, respectively. The Georgia defense proved tough, holding Lipscomb to a .170 attack percentage and out blocking the Bisons 12-5. Leading the defensive attack was Elena Perri, who finished with six blocks, including one solo stop. Smith totaled four blocks, while Le'au added a pair of solo blocks in the win. Allison Summers and Brittany Northcutt recorded nine digs each.
"There was a lot of excitement in the gym tonight," Stemke said. "This was a good win for us. We started off a little slow in the first set, but we were able to get some of the adrenaline out and get back to what we have been practicing during the preseason. This is a veteran team and I thought our maturity showed as the match went on. This is a very balanced team and it is nice to know that we have so many players that can step up when we need them to. We are going to celebrate this win tonight, and get back to work tomorrow. We have a long season, but it is nice to be able to celebrate a win."
Lipscomb took an early 7-4 lead in the first set before a Northcutt kill tied the match at seven. The teams traded points on the next two possessions before consecutive blocks by Smith and Perri put the Bulldogs on top 11-9. The teams tied seven more times before a solo block by Le'au ignited a 4-0 Georgia run that put the Bulldogs up 22-18. Lipscomb made it a two-point set at 22-20 with back-to-back kills by Sophie Kellerman. A pair of kills by Smith and Eatmon gave Georgia set point before a Lipscomb attack error sealed Georgia's 25-20 set one win.
Lipscomb jumped out to an early 7-2 lead in the second set before the Bulldogs were able to fight their way back to within three at 12-9. Behind the serve of Northcutt, the Bulldogs scored three-straight points to tie the match at 12. The teams kept it close over the next several possessions, tying four times before a Lipscomb attack error gave Georgia its first lead of the night at 17-16 and forced the Bisons to burn a timeout. The Bulldogs edged out to a 20-17 lead, causing Lipscomb to use its final timeout of the set. Lipscomb fought back to within one at 23-22, but a pair of kills by Le'au and Eatmon sealed the set 25-22 for Georgia.
Georgia and Lipscomb kept the third and final set close over the opening points, with neither team taking more than a two-point lead before a kill by Teknipp sparked a 4-0 Georgia run that gave the Bulldogs a 10-6 lead. The teams traded points over the next five possessions until Smith and Le'au posted consecutive kills that extended Georgia's lead to 15-9 and forced Lipscomb to call its first timeout of the set. The Bisons took the first point out of the timeout, but a Perri kill and back-to-back aces by Summers stretched Georgia's lead to 18-10. Lipscomb scored just five more points in the set, allowing the Bulldogs to win the set 25-15 and seal the 3-0 sweep.
Georgia takes on TCU and Furman tomorrow, August 31, at 12:30 p.m., and 8 p.m., respectively on the second and final day of the Bulldog Invitational.

'Tarot' #63 Explains What Breasts Are For to Naked Lady Werewolves [Review]
I've been reading Jim Balent's "Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose" for the majority of its ten-year (and counting) run, and in that time it's been the most consistently amazing comic book on the stands. Admittedly, this isn't quite the traditional definition of "amazing," but it always leaves me pretty amazed. And the most recent installment, #63, is the best/worst/best-again issue in quite some time.
I've discussed the series before, but for those of you who aren't familiar with it, here's the quick rundown: "Tarot" is about the title character, a witch with incredibly large breasts (even for comics) who defends the mortal world from supernatural threats, which mostly involve her sister (who has even larger breasts) and the occasional super-villain with nuclear bombs implanted in her even larger breasts. I'm more or less obsessed with the book to the point where I even got a sketch of Tarot by Colleen Coover, because it is frequently the craziest damn thing I've ever seen in my life.I talked about this issue a bit back when it was solicited, because the variant cover featured Jim Balent drawing a naked lady and then just cold dropping Courage Wolf's head onto her neck, but it's even crazier than I could've hoped. Tarot herself barely appears in this issue — for newcomers, that's not her on the cover, but I'll get to that in a minute — but it offered something even better: A story that focused on her boyfriend, Jon Webb.
Much like Tarot, Jon has supernatural powers. In his case, it's the ability to see and talk to ghosts, which has led him to become The Skeleton Man, who is unquestionably the worst super-hero of all time. Far more often than not, he plays the bumbling, often-imperiled sidekick/love interest to Tarot who is often tied up and molested by sexy monsters and/or supporting cast members, and I gotta be honest, that's actually the one thing I like about the book completely without irony. It'd be a fantastic subversion of traditional adventure story gender roles, if, you know, most of the stories didn't involve Tarot getting tied up, stripped, and occasionally raped and literally milked. Seriously. That happened in #45.
Anyway, the fact that Jon's even worse at having adventures begs the question of why I was excited to get an issue about him, and that's easy. Because the last time we got a story about Jon, this happened:
Incidentally, that's also the story where Jon had to give up chasing down a cadre of murderous ghosts because they would not tell him the address of the next person they were planning to kill. That's how that story ended. I wasn't kidding when I said he was the worst super-hero ever.
And that brings us to this issue, and while it doesn't quite measure up to the standards of the haunted vagina, we are way down the rabbit hole right from page one. Well, actually, if you want to get right down to it, we've entered the world of Jim Balent's mind on the inside front cover, where colorist/letterer/BroadSword Comics Vice President Holly Golightly is cosplaying as Princess Leia. You can tell because she has her hair in the little cinnamon rolls and she's holding a blaster, which is handy because otherwise, she's naked. For "Tarot," this is actually not an unusual occurrence.
But it's page one that sets up the story proper, as the Skeleton Man steps in to stop a mortician from raping a dead body.
When I hit a guy making necrophilia porn on page one, I honestly considered just closing the comic there and calling it a night, but I figured after that, there's pretty much nowhere to go but up. And I was right, because this is about when this issue gets completely insane. No sooner has Jon left the morgue when he runs across a werewolf!
Now, given the enduring popularity of werewolves in horror fiction and movies — especially given the recent boost in popularity from "Twilight" and the Harry Potter books — you probably think you've got a pretty good handle on what a werewolf looks like and how they tend to work. But you are not Jim Balent, and you have not achieved the transcendant consciousness that he has. You do not live on his world.
And on Earth-Balent…
…lady werewolves are just naked women who have absolutely hilarious wolf-heads and tails.
Again, that's not actually that out of the ordinary for "Tarot." The dragons are naked women, sea monsters are naked women, the gingerbread golems are naked women — even Jim Balent's mermaids, which are already half-naked women, have scaly legs that join together to form fins at the feet, but are essentially regular ol' legs from the ankles up, so that he can draw both mer-breasts and mer-ginas.
Even so, considering that one of the main characters of the book is a werecat who has fur all over (on the off chance that you thought there was a fetish this book might not cater to), you'd think the same would hold true for werewolves. Especially since the dude werewolves are totally just wolfmen in Incredible Hulk outfits.
There's a gender discrepancy here, and while that might be something one would expect from a book that's little more than a supernatural porn, but "Tarot" is a book that both prides itself and has built a substantial readership on the pretense that it showcases strong female characters.
Not that this is a revelation; even if you discount the aforementioned events of #45 because Tarot eventually overcomes her assailant and the fact that he makes butter out of her bodily fluids so that he can eat magickal toast (I swear that is exactly what happens), there's also the issue where she fights her male counterpart and he's so much better than she is at swordfighting that he's able to strip her naked, which causes her to become aroused, which makes him pause long enough for her to be rescued by Skeleton Man, who as we have already established is the worst super-hero ever.
It just doesn't add up the way he thinks it does. Either way, the fact that he's just cold drawing a clearly photo-referenced wolf head on a naked lady never stops being hilarious.
Getting back to the plot, matters are complicated with the werewolves with the introduction of a new character, Vera VanGuard: Werewolf Hunter, who is based on a real-life model friend of Balent's named, as you might expect, Vera VanGuard. Balent's been doing this a lot over the past few years, drawing friends and fans into stories, and the when the photorealism is dropped next to his somewhat distinctive art style, it tends to come off as a little weird. Of course, that might just be because people tend to show up in scenes where they're being brutally butchered by dragon witches or something, but it's pretty much just a one-way ticket to the Uncanny Valley for me.
Vera, as her name suggests, has been hunting down werewolves, but the key factor here is that she shows up and almost immediately says the best line to grace the pages of "Tarot" in almost two years:
Oh is that what they're for! You know, I've been wondering.
For the record, Vera's breasts aren't merely convenient handles, they're actually a cunning trap: Her black vinyl bra and fishnet bodice are actually wired with enough electricity to kill the two werewolves, while leaving her more or less unharmed. Which… Okay, look, I know this is a book about witches and ghosts and werewolves and that's fine, but I'm pretty sure that an sending a hundred thousand volts through one's own electric bra would probably be a phenomenally bad idea. Just sayin'. But then, that's what they're there for.
I'd like to point out that when this happens, we're not even halfway through the book, but clearly, we have peaked. The rest of the book is mostly devoted to werewolf combat, although there's another high point in this panel…
..which features:
a) Vera explaining her origin in the format of Sailor Moon's "in the name of the Moon," speech,
b) a sword that is also a gun, and
c) Jim Balent doing his level best to draw a sexy pouty lady face… on a wolf head.
And then the Skeleton Man gets punched so hard that his face gets ripped off.
One would think that this would be the dramatic climax of the issue, as what narrative structure there is that isn't based entirely on breasts is about Jon's reluctance in becoming the Skeleton Man and how he decided to use his powers to help people even after they were killed. Having him suffer for his actions would actually provide a bit of a character arc for him that could play out in future issues, much like what happened with Tarot herself a few years back when she got stabbed. That seems like the logical conclusion to everything going on here.
So of course, that's not what happens at all.
Instead, he gets dumped into a combination Lazarus Pit/Hot Tub and Boo has sex with him while he's unconscious.
"Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose" everybody. It might not hit the high/lowlights of a man telling a woman that she has to get away from her own reproductive system because it's become infested with ghosts, but truly it can be said, this one's got it all.
And that's not always a good thing.
