Authors, Dean Russell and Chase Walker bring you the twisted action packed encounters between the demons of the netherworld and the Ghost Defense Institute's team of talisman wielding warriors.
all rights reserved © 2011 Bayou Savage
The story begins with Razor Savage, the patriarch and the "greatest guitar ghost fighter" of them all.
The Bayou Savage series will take you on a journey into the netherworld of Razor's son, Bayou Savage,
Steve Johnson, the scientist and Quirk. the first field agent and Director of the Ghost Defense Institute.
Bayou • Bio
His crystal blue eyes, set in a laugh-lined face, complemented his trim, six-foot frame. A compulsive runner's regimen gave him the sinewy build and stamina required for the years he spent on one stage or another—first as a musician, then as a premier auditor and respected speaker in the field of quality engineering. That discipline came in handy when the Institute recruited him away from a life given to improving the international corporate environment.
Bayou was the son of the first guitar-ghost fighter, Razor Savage, and on the very short list of guitar-ghost fighters in the Institute's history. He had been a good soldier to his commanding father.......
......Bayou caught the mirror's reflection of the eyes that crashed most of his relationships. He still wasn't remarried. Too many trysts to remember had left him empty and lacking. He tried to blame it on the eyes. The real problem was his obsessive aversion to long-term commitment or the thought of any sort of roots.
Sort of piddlin' on the guitar, he felt the chemistry between a great instrument and its master. A truly blessed player can comprehend this cherished, magical bond.
The Fifty-Three Fender Esquire looked like a normal guitar, but it wasn't … not by a long shot. This was the most famous guitar in paranormal history. This was "the ghost killer."
The Fender came to life in the presence of evil and gave the exceptional and proper owner incredible powers. The talisman sensed evil and possessed a damning life of its own, which surprised the hell out of Razor, then Bayou. You name the evil, and one of the Savages had killed it. Razor recently passed the guitar down to his only son with the expectation that Bayou would continue to thrive within the elite cadre of musical ghostfighters.........
He caught the mirror again, surprised by the reflection of the still fairly handsome, balding guy holding his guitar. He didn't think a man should feel this old in his mid-forties.
As Quirk would say, "It ain't the years, Buddy, it's the miles."
Quirk • Bio
Quirk, the Director of the Institute that orchestrated the psychic wars back in the early twenty-first century, is a burly, barrel chested man. A thick physique of an aging athlete and a handsome face creased from years of laughter and pain. Bruised and battered from a variety of car wrecks, football injuries and battles fought, he had the constitution of an ox and piercing hazel eyes. Quirks dominating presence and military posture had a subtle charisma that could command the attention of an entire room as he entered. Born during the 'baby-boom' era and raised the son of a career military officer, Quirk had seen the world.
Leaving home, much to his Mother's chagrin, at the young age of 18, Quirk was recruited into an elite, top secret and extremely covert cadre of highly trained and specialized operatives during the debacle in Southeast Asia.
Quirk dabbled in the lucrative smuggling trade and his distractions were harmless enough. A little importing of combustible South American agricultural products wasn't going to hurt any body. The powers that be, left him pretty much alone.
For a short time, he hired on as a mercenary in South America. Being signed on as one of the first field agents for the institute, the very long chapter in the life of Jeb Stuart Quirk had begun.
and...don't forget...
Steve Johnson, Mist & Leslie Quinn
•Steve Johnson, the scientist.
•Mist (Bayou's daughter)
• Leslie Quinn (the mysterious young woman with a shadowy past and far superior paranormal powers).
Razor • Bio
In his younger days, Razor earned the nickname "Rabbit". He did everything fast. Ran fast, fought fast, and plowed through life with unparalleled intensity. His tenacity was formidable. Nobody ever wanted on the bad side of Razor Savage.
He stood ram-rod straight. A natural smile worked well with his raucous laugh. Razor's crystal gray eyes could melt a woman's heart or stare a statue down. The eyes were his personal lie detector and he suffered no fools. He could see smack through bullshit.
He was born on a Friday, the thirteenth day of November, in a year he hardly ever spoke of. Razor claimed anyone born on Friday the 13th had a choice between super superstitious or not at all. He was born in the middle of seven sisters, with no brothers and no superstitions. The kids came from a long line of musicians and Razor played some kind of music ever since he could remember.
Razor enlisted during the Korean War and wound up in the big bombers as a radar tech.
He was a good father, working hard to raise a family and enjoy the higher elevations of Haywood County. He lived a colorful life filled with a litany of even more colorful stories. Then ghost fighting came along.
The Ghost Defense Institute discovered Razor and his control of the '53 Fender Esquire in the early seventies. They quickly recruited him. The irony of the talisman's choice involved Razor's skepticism for anything remotely connected to the afterlife….especially the ghosts. Life's cycle was simple for Razor. You're born, you live and you die. He hoped, like everyone else, for an afterlife…he just needed a bit more information.
Razor thought of ghosts as stray dogs ransacking the garbage. A bullet could cure the dog. Don't misunderstand, Razor liked dogs well enough. He just believed all animals had a purpose. Chickens should lay eggs, dogs should guard the house, cats should hunt mice, and black snakes were good for eating rats or keeping poisonous snakes away. If it didn't lay eggs, hunt or wear a valuable skin, the critter was useless. That was his understanding of ghosts. Ghosts contributed nothing and therefore, had no value. They were an irritant to be dealt with accordingly… like the scavenger dog.
So the story begins……

Sep 4, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterA program that gives youths in trouble with the law an alternative to incarceration and expulsion is developing a new site for its day reporting center.
Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative director Melinda Cox gave Fremont County commissioners a tour of the location Tuesday.
"No decisions were made," commissioner Keja Whiteman said. "Within the next couple of weeks we will have a decision whether we will want to use it as a day reporting center."
The building is a former farmhouse near the intersection of Gasser Road and Major Avenue in Riverton. Fremont County acquired the site as a part of the Major property, which is also planned to be the location of a new Riverton justice center.
"We are looking for a larger space," Cox said. "The day reporting center is for juveniles who would otherwise be expelled."
Students in the alternatives program attend the day reporting center rather than their home school. In addition to classes, the facility provides services such as community-based projects and counseling.
The program also works to connect services such as probation and juvenile drug court. Rather than holding youths in the juvenile wing of the Fremont County Detention Center, the program uses detainment methods that include ankle bracelets and housing the youths in group homes.
Fremont County Group Homes hosts the day reporting center now, but it only has room for roughly eight students, Cox said. She thinks the house on Gasser Road could accommodate up to 18.
The program does not have an immediate need for more space, but it almost outgrew its location last year.
Three students have been enrolled in the program so far this school year, and another will join it soon. The program ended last school year with eight students and graduated one from Lander Valley High School.
"We were pretty much at our capacity last year," Cox said.
So far, county buildings maintenance staff and a group from Set Free Church have worked to clean the house and paint it. However, it still is not ready for the alternatives program.
"It's in pretty poor condition," Cox said.
She said there are uneven floors, electrical issues and concerns about the staircase to the second floor.
Her program has a "limited" budget, Cox said, and she has to investigate regulations regarding school buildings and locations for Department of Family Services programs.
The plan is to meet with commissioners in two weeks to decide whether to move forward with the location.
Despite its drawbacks, Cox said she sees potential in the old building.
"There's some land," she said. "There's potential for a large garden and potential maybe to raise some animals."
Growing plants and raising animals would give the students pride and useful life skills, she said. Those activities also could involve them in the Fremont County Fair and the community.
The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative opened in January after the juvenile wing of the Fremont County Detention Center closed in July 2012. Several county entities, including the sheriff's and attorney's offices, wanted to create the alternatives program to better serve youth rather than incarcerate them.

Is it a bug or why I can only watch 2 different shows in TBOGT? Just the anime comic thingy and men's room. When e.g. mens room comes to an end, it just restarts. I've tried to make another save but the same problem occurs. why? Schredas 14:02, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
GTA IV Beta Hints on TV
I swear, some of the ads on the T.V. in GTA IV only, such as VIG Insurance and Sully's Auto Mart, has the beta gameplay and some beta vehicles. One commercial on the Higgins Heli-tours shows a beta Coach which is not in the game. The Sully's Auto Mart ad (personally, my favorite) has some cars that are not in the game. The ones I saw while looking in the background of the f'ed up Feroci looked like the Monstrosity, as seen in GTA lll. and the group of cars towards the end of the commercial shows a different Marbelle, a blue Buffalo and a modern looking white sedan. The rest are the same cars seen in the final GTA IV. ````Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8
Weasel News
Why is Weasel News listed as a viewable T.V. show but only in TLAD? Weasel News is only on a commercial. The report on the 'biker menace' is only a trailer on Youtube. Am I wrong? --Boomer8 (talk) 04:26, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Road Re-opens After Emergency Repairs
Although portions of State Route 33, north of Ojai in Ventura County, had lost solid ground which resulted in two slip-outs during July and August, Caltrans' West Region Maintenance and Construction have kept their feet firmly planted on the ground while working to prevent the road from giving Caltrans "the slip" again.
A 20-mile section, between Lockwood Valley Road and Highway 166 in New Cuyama, had been under repair in both directions from the first slip-out in April. The impact of the 2005 winter storms caused the hillside under the road to give way. A slip-out occurs when the material beneath the roadway erodes, especially one built on the side of a hill or mountain -- making the roadway unsafe and impassable.
"The mountainous terrain is rugged and has a history of washouts and landslides. History repeated itself early this spring when a portion of the roadway fell victim to a slope failure near the Cuyama River," said Joseph S. Tehrani, Senior Transportation Engineer, Construction.
To expedite the repair, Caltrans Construction Office #2 in Thousand Oaks moved quickly to obtain the required environmental permits while Maintenance worked to secure an emergency, then entered into an emergency contract with Summer Construction to complete the repairs.
"Shortly after repair work on the initial slip-out began, another portion of the slope collapsed, causing closure of the northbound lane which shifted traffic to the shoulder," said Tehrani. "With increased heavy truck traffic and the movement of construction equipment, another portion of the road gave way, resulting in a complete road closure."
When Highway 33 is closed, motorists must use Highways 101, 126 and Interstate 5 in and out of the Ojai Valley, which could amount to two extra hours of drive time.
Before construction was completed, the school year started. The local children got to school with the quick action taken by the Cuyama School District and Caltrans Public Affairs Office. Speaking of Resident Engineer Mike Dorri, Tehrani says, "Mike and his staff did everything possible to get Route 33 re-opened while a temporary relay of school buses met the children where they safely crossed the highway."
On September 14, Caltrans re-opened Route 33, although the road may briefly close again for additional repair work, according to Tehrani.
"The crews devoted many long hours working to ensure that repairs were completed as soon as possible. Ventura Maintenance, the GeoTechnical staff, the Ventura Area Surveying personnel and Summer Construction, coalesced as a very effective team that proved invaluable in re-opening the road in as short a time frame as possible," said Tehrani.

Should Holiday Traditions Ever Be Retired?
Q. My mother still fills stockings for me and my siblings (we are all in our 30s or 40s). Most of the stuff is not quite to our liking, and as a result it goes in the garbage or to Goodwill. Would it be OK to ask her to stop? Or should we allow her to continue because she likes to do it?
Name withheld by request
A. I commiserate, because as I read your question, the first image that popped into my head was of my mom, who annually hauls out a coffee can decorated with red felt to resemble Santa's boot. (She keeps replacement tree lightbulbs in the toe.)
My idea of how to observe Christmas tastefully is a little different from my mother's, and you seem to feel the same way—therein lies your discomfort with her stocking-stuffing ritual. It can be distressing to be reminded of how different you are from a beloved relative, particularly during a season that celebrates closeness. I mean, we sprang from these women's loins, after all, so how could we have such radically different opinions about something like what constitutes a gift-worthy centerpiece?
I feel your pain. But, honestly, let your mom fill the stockings. She does it because it reminds her of when you were little. Letting her enjoy that feeling again is the nicest gift you can give her.
—Michelle Slatalla

Take our survey on the new Avid Reader and win a LibraryThing subscription.
We're really enjoying the promise of Spring offered by all the trees currently blossoming outside our office, so we've devoted this issue of The Avid Reader to Japan, where the hanami (blossom viewing) parties have just begun.
Taschen has a beautiful new release featuring Utagawa Hiroshige's renowned 'pictures of a floating world,' and we've picked out six more of our favorite books from Japanese authors, artists and architects. We've also sifted through our millions of wonderful listings, and found a stunning, full color, antique map of Yokohama Bay that we're quite excited to share with you.
In Shelf Talk this month: 85-year-old WWII veteran Charles Dills has spent decades searching for a long lost, cherished edition of a childhood favourite. Can you help him track it down?

Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
by Melanie Trede and Lorenz Bichler
What could be more enticing than pictures of a floating word?
We're big fans of Taschen at AbeBooks, and this new release from the renowned art book publisher does not disappoint. With typical brilliance in graphic presentation, Hiroshige's famous prints are laid out in arresting size and each is paired with a detailed and engaging description.
Utagawa Hiroshige was one of the leading artists of the Ukiyo-e tradition. This boldly colorful genre of woodblock printing was popular among the wealthy and playful Edo (Tokyo) merchant classes that emerged at the beginning of the 17th century. The name translates to the delightful phrase above - a somewhat cheeky reference to Buddhism's philosophy of the sorrowful world. We think the name is more than appropriate: an art book as beautifully absorbing as this has no difficulty carrying us off to far away places.

Books mean different things to different people. Take 85-year-old Charles Dills a retired professor of chemistry who lives in San Luis Obispo, California. He was once a World War II fighter pilot who flew 94 missions over Italy, Corsica and Southern France, and he comes from a family "that has an uncommon fetish about books."
Charles was orphaned at the age of 14 in the middle of the Great Depression and he has a single quest thanks to lingering memories from his childhood of growing up in North Dakota more than 70 years ago. He is trying to find a very particular edition of a book called Stung Again. Its a joke book with a yellow, green and black cover, and the illustration of a bee in flight. Charles has bought a couple of copies from AbeBooks but they are not the one he remembers. The copies available on our site were all published in 1908.
"On the cover, I remember the bee is bigger, more dynamic and more boldly coloured with yellow and black," said Charles, who has scoured the Internet and contacted the Library of Congress about the book but without joy. "Ive spent 10, 20, 30 years looking for this edition."
The original book was lost long ago Charles has no possessions at all from when he became an orphan. Its a book of good, clean old-fashioned jokes they dont tell anymore.
To most people, this is just another long forgotten book consigned to history, but Charles remembers handling the book. It has special meaning to him because the book played a role in a practical joke where his mom, a small 5-foot-2 lady born in Norway, was locked into a locker. She managed to escape and placed the book inside the locker before her captors returned.... ensuring the joke was on them when they opened the door. "She got a big laugh," said Charles. "It would mean a lot to me to find that book."
Its odd how a book can just stick in your mind. A book can hold a moment in time like few other things. To Charles, that book shows how his parents larked around something that was completely taken for granted at the time but you cannot have those moments back when theyre gone.
At AbeBooks, we hear a lot of stories like this someone trying to find a book from their childhood that was lost over the decades. Buyers often contact our Customer Support department to thank AbeBooks and the booksellers because they have been reunited with an old favorite from the past. It is one of the best things about being in this business.
Are you able to help Charles? Do you have a copy of Stung Again with the larger, bolder bee or some useful information? If you can help, email me at email@example.com.
We would also love to hear about your experiences of being reunited with a book from the past that held special memories. Tell us your book hunting tales.

Notes from Avid Readers
Last month, our Richard Davies shared with the world his opinion that non-fiction is, well, much, much better than fiction. We received some notes fully in support of this theory, but we also asked readers to nominate fiction books that proved Richard definitively wrong - here's what some of our readers recommended:
Stephen: The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve. I was blown away at the end with just one sentence!
Gina: The Eagle's Throne by Carlos Fuentes. You asked for books that were surprising, shocking or stunning...well, I thought this book was all of those!
Julie: The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It's a short book, but wow...there are some scenes in that book that really stuck in my head, and by the end of the story I felt almost as exhausted as the main characters!
Susan: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I finally read [it] for the first time in July. I was puzzled and transfixed. I was outraged by the story's historical events. I was moved to tears and to laugh out loud multiple times. Generally, I was awed. I can't imagine ever being not interested in reading fiction.
Laura: Noon Wine by Katherine Anne Porter. [It] is a masterpiece. I've been reading it over and over for years. It's about a death on a south Texas farm in the early 1900s.

Friday, 21 July, 2000, 11:30 GMT 12:30 UK
Record crowds prompt Open fears
Police have warned they may seal off St Andrews, if the record crowds continue to pour in for The Open this weekend.
More than 39,000 spectators turned up on the opening day and there are fears the numbers could swell to 60,000 a day on Saturday and Sunday.
With Tiger Woods attempting to become the youngest player in history to complete a golfing slam - all four Majors - and the perfect weather, golf fans want to share in his moment of history.
A police spokesman said: "We are taking a common sense approach to the numbers. The space inside St Andrews is finite.
"There can only be a limited amount of people and a limited amount of vehicles before there is gridlock.
"There has to be a shut-off point. What is paramount is public safety. We have to have a limit on numbers."

For the modern Prometheus.
From campgrounds to the alpine, any site is suitable for Black Diamond's Apollo Lantern. The DoublePower LED light provides a stunning 30-foot 80 lumen output in a non-glaring, frosted case. There's a power meter that indicates how much battery is left, and the adjustable dimming switch allows versatile brightness. Fold-down legs let you place this lantern on most terrain, and there's a hook strap to hand the lantern on tents.

Lots of Light for a Little Lantern
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This lantern packs down really small, and puts out a ton of light. Super easy to fold up the legs and stow out of the way when camping.I did have a bit of a hard time getting used to it because it has a blue tint due to the LED. I'm so used to the yellow tint from our old Coleman gas lantern.
Great gift
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
This was a gift for a 3 year old...yup I know, anyway he loves it simple to use. Holds up well to the chaos that a 3 year old brings. I'm sure it would be amazing when camping.
three points of contact
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The absolute best feature this light has are its moveable legs. Each leg has just enough resistance to set it in place and it will stay put. This allows it to stand upright on nearly any uneven ground, rock, tree, or just about any place gravity will allow it stay put. I use this light and a headlamp when car camping for plenty of nighttime light.
Gift with Purpose
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this to a friend in the military for camping and he seems to love it. Small enough to bring in a pack but great for car camping.
Car Camping Light Delight
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I keep this in my car camping gear and its been great. I can hang it up on the insides of my car and will regularly use it when cooking, etc.
- Gives off plenty of light for what it is
- Easy to use and hang up. Hangs up easily in my car and in a tent.
- Pretty much idiot proof in terms of turning on and off.
- Packable, but can't see it being much use backpacking when you have more purposed headlamps that are considerably smaller and lighter. Never had that intent with it, but few people mentioned it so figured I'd be realistic about it.
Let there be light!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This lantern is awesome! For how small it is, it puts out a ton of light. Gives plenty of light to see what you're doing when cooking dinner or whatever you might be doing in the dark. What is really awesome is the dimming setting. When you get in your tent at night and you don't need the full power of the lantern, just press and hold the button and the light will decrease to your liking. It's pretty sturdy and I think it'll hold up for quite some time! Great product.
A well designed product
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is just a beautifully engineered product. Mostly everything on it feels solid and well placed. The newer version comes with much more light than the previous one so note the year made when purchasing. However, its still missing the punch of a device with larger batteries. Its not going to light up a campsite. But for AA its pretty decent. Puts out plenty of light for a single person, table, or tent in a convenient size. The overall quality, good enough power, and convenience of AA had me buy a second for my wife so I would definitely recommend it.
Is this the new Black Diamond Apollo Lantern? because these are the new color for the 2016 version and it should be 200 lumens right?
thank you.

We gave it a B
Anyone who has read A Confederacy of Dunces can attest to the twin feelings of elation at the book's unique vision of Americana, and disappointment that author John Kennedy Toole — who killed himself 12 years prior to being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Confederacy — would never go on to write another novel. MacLauchlin details the author's early life in New Orleans, where he sucked in culture and characters like a sponge, and his later struggles with publication and depression. Butterfly in the Typewriter is a dutiful account but perhaps a little too schematic and perfunctory for a man so colorful. B

Nakajima Shinsuke AKA Ammo was the Former President of the Kurotaki Alliance and one of the The Four Kings. Later transferred to another prefecture. Picked by King Joe to act as an observer in the battle at Monster's Forest. He was the successor of Bulldog.
Even though Nakajima's regin over Kurotaki Alliance was cut short due to moving away, he made quite a name for himself in Toarushi by defeating Kawada 2nd's then Boss Ishikawa,who was also one of the top leaders of the Kurotaki Alliance and said to be second in strength only after Bulldog himself. He then fought and lost to Suzuran's top dog Bouya Harumichi,which was enough to earn the respect of his peers at Kurotaki.
It is virtually unknown why Nakajima moved away from Toarushi. He was the special guest referee of the final battle between Suzuran and Housen, here he is revealed as an old senior of Kawada 2nd's Sera Naoki.
Elementary SchoolEdit
Iwashiro Gunji went to elementary school with Ammo and would get into fights for no reason. On their third year field trip, they went hiking at a place called Mt Mimyou. There, he happened on to an Ammonite fossil. Nothing like that had been found on the mountain up until then. So he was in the newspaper. Then the next day, he was introduced on the school's noon broadcast. The principal asked how he found it, and he said I was pooping. Then I found it. My poo looked like Ammonite too... it was all coiled
The whole school was in hysterics. He then became known as Ammonite Shinsuke.
Middle SchoolEdit
Nakajima Shinsuke attended Banba middle school in the western district. Katou Hideyoshi, Who became top of Kyoka middle in his second year, took over the central district and then set out to rule of the middle schools. He started by invading the western district. However, he failed the moment he took his first step in the western district to Nakajima Shinsuke. As long as Nakajima Shinsuke standing in the west, Hideyoshi couldn't push forward. Nakajima graduated and joined Kawada 2nd High.
Kurotaki AllianceEditWhen Nakajima joined Kawada 2nd as a freshmen, he took on Ishikawa, who was the head of Kawada 2nd and a lieutenant of The Kurotaki Alliance. After Ishikawa's defeat, the Kurotaki Alliance arranged a meeting with him. Before attending the meeting, Nakajima and his 2nd in command, Andou, gather 20 of their men and had them wait outside. If Nakajima believed that the leader of The Kurotaki Alliance was a weak idiot, then they will break a window in the meeting as a signal for the guys to raid the meeting. During the meeting before Bulldog arrives, a fight is about to break out between the Alliance and Nakajima. When Bulldog enters, his presence causes Nakajima to sit down, suprising Andou. Bulldog tells them that he recognizes Nakajima as one of them. He also tells them that Ishikawa recommended him and that he will be the one to carry The Kurotaki on his shoulders. After the meeting, Takanashi asks Nakajima and Andou if the 20 guys belong to him. When they reply with a look of fear, Takanashi tells them to not worry as he was the only one to know. When Andou asks him hypothetically if they were to try and come in, what would have happened. Takanashi tells them that Chiaki would have caught all those guys before they could do anything. This results in Nakajima laughing with joy and accepts the position at The Kurotaki Alliance. While walking with Andou, they discuss how they were suprised neither Hideyoshi or Gunji took the top spot of the freshmans at Suzuran. This concerns Nakajima as someone stronger than both of them is at Suzuran and that those three are together in the same school. After Suzuran, Housen and The Front of Armament go to back up P.A.D, both Nakajima and Andou go to spy on the first years. Nakajima sees Hideyoshi, Gunji, Yonezaki Takayuki, Masa and for the first time sees Hanazawa Saburou the one who came out on top of the Suzuran's first years. In Housen's group, he sees King Joe, who Andou says is the strongest among the Housen freshmen.
When word got out that King Joe of Housen took out Tsuchiya Yutaka and three others from Kurosaki Industrial, Nakajima meets up with Takanashi Osamu at a cafe Milk, the Kurotaki Alliance hang out spot. Takanashi informs Nakajima that the alliance is going to leave the entire matter up to him and that he can do as he sees fit. Takanashi also informs Nakajima that this is a good opportunity to show the Kurotaki Alliance first years that he is the boss as it is inevitable that many of the first years will disagree who should be boss.
When a meeting was organized for the six heads of the freshman year of the Kurotaki Alliance, Nakajima organized his fellow Kawada 2nd members to lay waiting, and Andou by himself in the cafe, for anyone planning to ambush the meeting. With his suspicions being correct, a group of the Housen Killer Corps who were planning to ambush the meeting, were repelled from the cafe. When arguing about who told Housen of the meeting, Bandou Juujirou of Takiya Commerce asks Nakajima if Housen planned on taking out Kurotaki, why didn't King Joe join as well. Nakajima tells the fellow first years that it isn't who leaked the meeting place or who sold out Kurotaki, but that it was the entire first years who's at fault as they are supposed to be the foundation of the alliance and yet they are helplessly divided. This was the result of the attack from Housen and it will keep happening if we remain divided. When the others say that they won't follow Nakajima unless he beats them, Nakajima turns away, saying that he doesn't want to beat up guys who will be his comrades from now on. When Nakajima is about to leave, he tells them that if they want to see what he is made of, then they should with him.When they ask if he is going to fight Zetton or King Joe, Nakajima tells them to be quiet and follow him. While walking with him, Tsuchiya Yutaka realizes that they are walking in Suzuran's territory. When Yutaka tells Nakajima that they are heading to Suzuran, Nakajima confirms. When the others look in shock, they realize Nakajima is going to take on Harumichi Bouya.
When the group see Bouya come out of a hole in a wall, Nakajima strikes Bouya, challenging him to a fight. Despite getting knocked down by Bouya, Nakajima gets up and continually strikes back. However, Bouya finishes off Nakajima and beats him.
In the next year Shinsuke had to move to another city, his vice-head Bandai Yuujirou took his position but he was got in a car accident and couldn't move for five months. The Alliance crumbled after that. He was later invited by King Joe to be an observer in the fight between Housen and Suzuran.

Local Service Delivery - Namibia
The Government of Namibia faced capacity challenges to deliver basic services such as limited number of skilled laborers, financial constraints and decentralization. These challenges would lead to situations where roads used for solid waste management were not accessible and did not meet the needs of the citizens. The government, therefore, wanted to engage the private sector through a partnership and to develop its own capacities to ensure the poorest of its citizens would have sustainable access to basic local services.
UNDP provided support to the Government for the development of a set of rules and principles to guide local service delivery. The rules emphasized that the services offered should be affordable and focus on poor and marginalized groups. UNDP country office extended support to assessing the relevant capacities of all involved – the government counterparts overseeing the exercise, the local businesses offering services and the community representatives articulating needs and setting service delivery standards – and helped devise appropriate capacity responses. UNDP also supported the national and local governments with institutional framework and policy reviews, capacity development of government officials, private sector and local organisations, as well as assistance on service delivery options that had a strong emphasis on women's economic development.
Now there are tool kits and guidelines to ensure effective implementation of public-private partnership pilot projects, strong commitments by municipal governments to the projects and to capacity development, and participation by those who will receive the services. As a result, the public-private partnership is a mainstay of government planning and a locus of UNDP's work in Namibia.

Vanessa Hudgens' Pre-Holiday Hike
Preparing her body for the feasting that comes with the holidays, Vanessa Hudgens went on a hike in Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles on Monday (December 23).
The "Spring Breakers" star showed off her toned tummy in a black sports bra, black leggings, and a purple baseball cap as she listened to tunes while working up a sweat.
Sharing a short Instagram video of the view from her hike, the 25-year-old actress wrote, "I love la. #grateful."
As for what she's using to fuel her workout, Vanessa tweeted earlier, "Beyoncé all day today. #obsessed.'


text: Further evidence that minimalism is passé comes this week from Dublin where Dylan, a glamorous new hotel in the old Royal Hospital Nurses' Home on Eastmoreland Place, has just opened. While the restaurant, Still, is calm and understated with white walls and furniture, the rest of the hotel is a riot of clashing colours and decadent materials - all arranged in the best possible taste. We're talking leather studded walls, murano glass chandeliers, lime green and blood red sofas and lifts lined with red leather. Exactly the sort of place to take your lover for a sexy weekend. But you'd have to be keen - rooms at Dylan don't come cheap. Prices start at €365 room only. A continental breakfast will set you back €21pp (they must be some croissants). Of course, you could always book somewhere cheaper and settle for a drink at Dylan's fabulous pewter bar. The signature cocktail is as rich as the decor - a mix of vanilla vodka, Galliano, dark crème de cacao, crème de banana topped with pineapple and grapefruit juice and fresh cream. More of a pudding in a glass than a drink. But there are simpler options, including a long list of martinis.

The Cashmere Cardigan by Rebecca Taylor is a pretty standard cardigan with seven buttons at the front, ribbed banding at the crew neck, bottom hem, and cuffs, and long sleeves. It does have a faceted stone at the top button. But what we truly love are the colors it comes in, bright pink and lemon. They are colors not seen enough during the cold, winter months, and wearing them will certainly allow your outfit to pop amongst the dreary blacks and greys surrounding you!

This striped jersey tank has a keyhole and contrast tie at the front, contrast ribbed insets and unfinished seams at the sides, and adjustable spaghetti straps that cross at the back. Available in three colors: goddess, sunrise, and navy.
We are always excited to find tops that are flattering and a little forgiving, especially this time of year. The Blousen Tee at MaxStudio has an elasticized bottom and blousey body to give your stomach a little wiggle room. There's shirring sewn with elastic that forms textured details at the V-neck and shoulders, elastic at the cuffs, and long sleeves. It's made from a wool and tencel blend.
We adore girlie tops, and the Organza and Lace Trim Cami by Walter is definitely girlie! This tank top has a square neck, empire waist, lace trim at the thick straps and top hem, a large tie at the back, and back zipper. It's also 100% silk.
The Shirt Snob would like to wish her US readers a Happy Thanksgiving! We'll be back to our regular posting tomorrow. Have a great holiday!
The Tie Back Tunic by C&C California is such a pretty top, it's one of our current favorites!

It'd be great for all your parties this holiday season. Available in navy and fuchsia.
The Jarian Pintuck Top by Joie would be quite an ordinary blouse if it didn't have such great details. There's lace insets at the yoke and hem, a mandarin collar, five buttons at the front, ruching at the front and back, pintucking at the yoke, short puff sleeves, and a single button at the cuffs. It is also lined at the body and made from a cotton and silk blend.
Looking for casual and comfy? The Kylie V Neck Tunic by P.G.D. Style is up your alley! This tunic has a deep V-neck, tie at the front, empire waist, and 3/4 length bell sleeves. It is available in three colors: smoke, black, and tattoo.
Sheer fabric can look really tacky, but leave it to Vera Wang to instead make it look elegant. The V Neck Baby Doll Top with Rosettes by Vera Wang Lavender Label has rosette detail and smocked elastic banding at the waist, a V-neck, ruching at the waist and shoulders, peek-a-book camisole lining, and two inch straps. We adore the rich plum color too.

It is crocheted with a scalloped edge at the fold over collar, ribbed banding at the bottom hem and cuffs, seven buttons down the front, and elbow length sleeves. It is semi-sheer and available in black and heather cozy.
There is nothing more comfortable in the winter than a thermal top. The Thermal Button Hoodie by C&C California looks like it'd be perfect for those cold days. It has a V-neck, three buttons at the front, ribbed insets under the arms, ribbed banding, long sleeves, and inverted pleat detail at the empire waist. It is available in atlantic, white, and navy.

Snorg Tees has some new ones too, the Christmas inspired It's the Most Wonderful Time and Blood Drive Vampires.
Finally, check out Modern Pirates at Glennz Tees.
The French Stripe Cardigan by CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak is definitely not your typical boring cardigan. It really stands out because of the pink sand stripes and how they are placed. There is a crew neck, solid yoke, nine buttons down the front, button patch pockets, and long sleeves. It is made of 100% merino wool.
What makes the Penn Sweater by YAYA AFLALO special is a beaded rosette pin at each shoulder. We haven't seen anything else like this! The sweater also has gathering at the shoulders, a cowl neck, a single button and keyhole at the back, banding and ruching at the bottom hem, and no sleeves. It is made of 100% dehair angora.
The Print Short Sleeve Tunic by T-Bags is very unique with the front and back almost looking like two different tops. The short flutter sleeves basically stop in the back, where the top makes a T. There's a cowl neck, ruching at the sides, draping and pleating at the back, and anunfinished edge at the cuffs. It is lined at the bodice and available in two different prints.
We're surprised that we like the floral print on the After Class Top by Pencey so much. It could so easily look grandmotherly, but it somehow works here. This blouse has a scoop neck, five buttons at the front, ruching at the bust and back, a tiered bottom hem, and short sleeves with banding at the cuffs. It is semi-sheer and 100% silk.
The Shirt Snob discovered Wicked Sweet Tees at a street fair outside of DC in September. We were surprised that we had never heard of them before. They have some of your usual college humor designs that you can find anywhere, but we still like them! Some of our top picks include Che on Che, Never Forget, Think Green, and Colbert Wants You.
We are writing about the Hanna Sweater by Theory today mostly because we love the stripes. It's an interesting color combination, and the blue and light grey stripes pops out in a fun way. This sweater has a ribbed panel at the back, ribbed banding at the scoop neck, hem, and cuffs, and long sleeves. It is made of wool with a little polyester.
The Funnel Neck Henley by James Perse is unique because it has a funnel neck but also a collar. There's also a two inch bottom hem, long sleeves, and it is semi-sheer. Wear it with jeans and heels for a casual yet elegant look. Available in black and sandstorm.
The Shirt Snob usually pictures heavy clothes when thinking of cowl necks, but this doesn't have to be the case. The Felicity Racer Back Top by Ella Moss is a tank top with a cowl neck. It has a quilted velvet overlay, metallic embroidery, and ruching at the racer back, a built-in shelf bra, ruching at the fitted bottom hem, and one inch straps. It is available in sterling, black and beaujolais.
Spike! Handprinted Clothing is an Etsy store that has some lovely t-shirt designs. The owner and designer uses texture and color for inspiration. Some of our favorite designs include Flock of Birds, Pink Dandelions, Bamboo Print Tee. We really like that there are plus sizes too!
Yet another stunning take on the typical white button up blouse. The Vikie Blouse by Theory has five buttons up the front, a banded collar, and pleating at the cap sleeves. It is made from a stretchy silk.
The Balloon Sleeve Cardigan by Catherine Malandrino is a pointelle cardigan sweater that is semi-sheer so it allows you to peak a little color through if you wish. There are six buttons at the front, ribbed insert at the shoulders, ribbed banding at the scoop neck, placket, bottom hem, and cuffs, and long blouson sleeves. It is made from a mix of wool, silk, and cashmere, and it is available in noir and flame.
The Boatneck Top by James Perse is great for showing off your beautiful collarbone! It has a boat neck as the name implies. There's also long sleeves. It's a simple tee, but cute and fun to wear!
The Clodie Sweater by Marc by Marc Jacobs helps take your camis and tanks into winter. This short cardigan has five buttons at the front, patch pockets, ribbed banding at the V-neck, placket, bottom hem, and cuffs, and 3/4 length sleeves. There are metallic stripes throughout as well.
The ivy color and jacquard pattern of the Cecilia Camisole by Sunner are what really won us over. There's also ruffle trim at the top hem and spaghetti straps. It is 100% silk and also available in marigold.
The Betty Top by LOVE YAYA has a wide neck, single button and keyhole at the back, darting at the front and back, and a surged edge at the cuffs. What makes this blouse special though are the short flutter sleeves. They almost look like little wings to us!
The Hooded Buttonless Cardigan Sweater by James Perse is perfect for wearing when curling up by a fire with a mug of hot chocolate. It has an open front so you can show off your cute bottom layer, side patch pockets, unfinished hem, seam details, and a hood. It is also long at 29 inches and is made from a wool and cashmere blend. Besides heather grey, it's also available in winter white.

Rachel Pally knows how to make simple looking clothes that are impeccably constructed and always look amazing. The Stephanie Top is no exception. It has a V-neck with ruching at the double layer bodice, gathered elastic banding at the empire waist, thick straps that cross at the back, and an unfinished edge at the bottom hem. This tank comes in three colors: neptune, black and granite.
The Magic Mirror Top by Bailey 44 certainly has some magic to it. There is ruching coming from the center of the bust, a deep V-neck, and an opening under the bust in a reverse V. It is then attached to a tank underneath that peaks through at the body. It also has extra long sleeves.
The plum color of the Molded Cami Top by Shoshanna is a great way to stand out amongst the reds and blacks amongst the crown this winter. This top has criss cross seam detail at the bodice, ruching at the empire waist, thick straps, a hidden back zipper, and is lined. It is also 100% silk.
We love to see tops with a natural waist! The Greco Blouse by Vena Cava has a double drawstring at the waist to accentuates it, smocking and padding banding at the high neck, solid panel at the sides, a hook-and-eye clasp and hidden zipper at the back, and no sleeves. It is also lined and 100% silk.
Our loyal readers are probably surprised to see we've brought Accessory Friday back. We admit we've been a bit lazy recently, but we just discovered that the owner and designer of Belle Bags, who we wrote about in February 2007, lives down the road from us! They've been kind enough to offer us a coupon code at Shy Siren who sells their wares as well as jewelry. Use the code shirtsnob15 for 15% off. This deal is good through December 31, so you can use it on your holiday shopping!
We are surprised that the Beyonce Top by Velvet doesn't come in more colors, but we really like it in seagrass! The color really pops, and it looks great with dark jeans like the model is wearing. This slinky top has a V-neck with gathering, draping at the front, thick straps, and an unfinished bottom hem.
If you like vintage looking clothes, you need to check out the Margo Jacket by Soia & Kyo. It has a hidden off-center zipper, oversized buttons, a high neck that can be buttoned or folded over, side pockets, contract trim throughout, and a plaid lining. It is made from a wool and nylon mix. It is truly our favorite coat this season, we adore it!
We don't think the Kimono Cardigan by Design History is particularly special, but we really like the color (we see it as blue, but it's a color most around us would see as grey usually), and it's the type of cardigan that everyone needs at least one of. It has six snaps down the front, a belt tie at the waist, cable detail at the fold over collar and cuffs which make it a little more interesting, and long sleeves.
Today is the last day of the Shop Bop sale. Save 30% on regularly priced items (except jewelry, and accessories) with the coupon code EARLYGIFT. Use this opportunity to buy all the clothes you'll need for the holiday season!
We haven't seen a top like the Glam Cowl Back Top by LaROK, so we feel obligated to cover it since we like the look so much. There is a scoop neck with ruching, snake chain detail at the spaghetti straps which tie behind the neck, a draped overlay, and gathered elastic banding at the back. It's a sexy halter that is perfect for adding a little glam into your wardrobe!
What we like about the Rugby Hoodie by Splendid is that it is not your typical hoodie. The front has six buttons that make it look more like a cardigan if you ignored the hood. There's also ribbed banding at the placket, bottom hem, and cuffs, a drawstring at the hood, and long sleeves. It is available in russet, ivy, and black.
Alone, the Penelope Camisole by Cosabella isn't really the Shirt Snob's taste. But wear it under a cute, simple cardigan, and we think it'd look divine. It has scalloped lace trim throughout, crossover detail at the bust, bows at the bottom of the straps, and adjustable spaghetti straps.
This is an exciting fall, I don't think I've seen so many sales from Shop Bop in a year that we've had in the last couple of months. Today and tomorrow, get 30% off everything (except items on sale, jewelry, and accessories) with the coupon code EARLYGIFT. 30% is high for Shop Bop, so take advantage of this great deal!
Beading on tops is so often garish to us, but on the Vintage Beaded Cardigan by Design History it is understated and truly adds to it. There is beading and appliqué detail at the crew neck that matches the cardigan's color, eight buttons down the front, ruching at the shoulders and cuffs, ribbed banding at the bottom hem, and long sleeves. It's a great way to dress up a simple camisole.
The Very Light & Fashionable V Neck Tunic by Splendid is a pretty basic top, but it's done so well and rather flattering, so we can't help but want it in every color! There is ribbed banding at the V-neck, ruching at the empire waist and shoulders, banding and ruching at the cuffs, and 3/4 length sleeves. It comes in three colors: oatmeal, coffee, and black.
If you are petite and want to show that off, the Dennie Top by Velvet is your ideal top. It has a cowl neck, T-back, slinky body, extended front hem, ruching at the sides, and 1/2 inch straps. It is also lined at the bust. It is available in kiln and black.
Once again we are surprised by Lauren Conrad. The Milley Top is exactly something we want in our closet as a go to top. There is gathered elastic banding at the scoop neck, banding and ruching at the cuffs, and 3/4 raglan sleeves. It can be worn on or off the shoulders too.
There is not much more girlie than roses! The rose print of the Rose Print Square Neck Top by Splendid certainly makes it look feminine and innocent. There is a square neck and back with contrast banding, ruching at the neck and shoulders, banding at the bottom hem, and cap sleeves. It looks comfortable, is simple, and would look great with your favorite jeans!
The Striped Cardigan by Splendid is a great cover up for your favorite tank or cami. It has a smocked elastic yoke, banding at the placket and cuffs, 3/4 length sleeves, and an extended front hem. Besides wheat/marine, it is also available in ebony.
Velvet has been producing some great slinky tops lately. The Kerstie Top by Velvet definitely fits that bill. Besides the slinky body, there is a crossover V-neck, ruching at the sides, cowl back, unfinished edge at the bottom hem, thick twisted straps, and a lining.
The ruffle on the Ruffle Slip Camisole by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent take it from ordinary to extraordinary! Made from 100% silk, it has a V-neck, smocked elastic banding at the empire waist, ruching at the bust, adjustable spaghetti straps, and the ruffle trim at the bottom hem. It comes in grey, black, and red.
We think the cowl neck combined with the striped print of the Dangerous Ground Top by Bailey 44 leads to a very interesting silhouette. It's pretty simple besides that actually. If you want to spice up your usual cowl neck top, this is definitely the way to go.
If you want something cute and simple to keep you warm while indoors, the Dolman Cardigan by Rag & Bone is perfect for you. It's 31 inches long so it'll really cover you up, and it's 100% wool too. There's patch pockets at the hips, a tie belt at the waist, grosgrain backing at the placket, long dolman sleeves, and ribbed banding at the shawl collar, hem, and cuffs. Available in winter white and charcoal.
We adore the zig zag stripes on the Short Sleeve Print Top by Anna Sui. This blouse also has ruffle trim and gathered elastic banding at the wide neck, ruching and satin banding at the bust, ruffle trim and gathered elastic banding at the cuffs, and cap sleeves. It is semi-sheer and can be worn either on or off the shoulders. We think the color combination are interesting and really add an extra touch of fun too!
We believe this is the same fabric that Terri used in the Diane von Furstenberg episode of Project Runway this past season. We were not fans of what Terri did with it, but we adore it here on the Delph Chiffon Top. It has a V-neck and back, tiers with surged edges, layered, short flutter sleeves, and a lining. Somehow it the fireworks look is more exciting and less garish here.
We adore tops that include the belt as we are pretty belt ignorant to this day. The Brett Cardigan Sweater by Theory has a ribbed shawl collar, rolled edge at the bottom hem, banding at the cuffs, long sleeves, and a contrast leather belt at the waist. It's a great way to stay warm in a chilly building or before coat weather fully kicks in.
Rhetoric Tshirts is a company inspired by pop art and fringe sub-culture and founded on the idea that today's youth use t-shirts as a form of personal rhetoric. We find their website a little confusing when it comes to which designs are for men and which for women, but when you click on an image, there is only a picture of either a man or woman, so we're guessing that is how you know which designs are for whom. We do like their designs a lot, especially Lotus, Mosaic, and Forest Day.
We like how the Puff Sleeve Hooded Pullover by Juicy Couture is a girlie take on the pullover hoodie. There is a pouch pocket at the front, raised seam at the neck, rolled edge at the shoulder seam, and ruched cap sleeve detail at the long sleeves.
A slight bit of metallic makes the Flash Dance Pintuck Tank by Joie a fun top. There's also pleated banding and ruching at the scoop neck and at the back, and thick straps. Works great for day and night!
Wear it as a heavy cover up this winter or as a jacket this fall. Either way, the Chunky Sweater Jacket by Generra will keep you warm and looking great! It is crocheted with four buttons and four more snap closures at the front, patch pockets at the waist, and 3/4 length sleeves.
Just got some great news from Shop Bop! They are having a sale on all of their tops through tomorrow, November 6. Save 20% off all regularly priced tops with the code TOPITOFF. So if we've shown you one recently that you've had your eye on, buy it today!

You'll certainly stand out in the Halo Strip Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs. This polka dot jacquard top has a V-neck, ruching at the bust, banding and pleating at the empire waist, pleated banding at the front, hidden side zipper, and 1/2 inch straps. It is 100% silk too. We adore the striped pattern, the colors go together magnificently!

The black and white print of the Print Adriana Top by Rachel Pally is what makes the shirt. The halter top has inverted pleating at the front and thick gathered straps around the neck.

It is made from a wool and cashmere mix.
Today there are a few companies with new t-shirt designs available. First we'll look at Threadless. Out of their new releases, we prefer Flowing Inspiration, Hide and Seek, Sleep Is So Last Night, and Now Panic and Freak Out,
We think the new design at Miss Wit, Indian Circle, is stunning.
The Dirty Coast has a new design, y@.
Busted Tees has new somecards tees, including Questionable Morals and Lay Us Off.
The Tiered Camisole with Rosette by Rebecca Taylor is quite a pretty top with a pretty rosette at the center of the bust. There are tiered ruffles throughout, unfinished rolled edges at the ruffles, a single button and keyhole at the back, and adjustable spaghetti straps. It's very elegant and is great paired with grey pants like in the picture.
Here is a great store for you if you that there's a good chance you've never heard of but will soon love. Gaia Conceptions is an eco-friendly clothing line sold on Etsy. All pieces are designed, sewn, and dyed by the artist using only organic and eco-friendly fabrics. Each garment is custom made.

Could Montreal Be Barcelona?
"Admirable cities do not achieve that status by the landing in their midst of one iconic building, but rather by the continuous integration of each addition to the existing fabric. It needs more than the occasional flourish to outdo Barcelona, a city that has reinvented itself following an overall plan that envisaged, in detail, countless measures that placed human activity at the centre.
We might try to match Bordeaux that conserves the beauty of its streets, improves its public gathering places and is threaded by a tramway system that is precise to the minute, all of which add more to the enjoyment of the citizenry than does the repute of its somewhat startling courthouse by Britain's star architect Lord Richard Rogers.
Copenhagen's seemingly endless pedestrianized shopping area, the Stroeget, doesn't boast a single remarkable building but would certainly evoke grateful praise if it were part of Montreal's landscape."

Wearing also a short-sleeve dress complete with pink bowler and matching scarf, the 5-year-old fashionista once again sports a look that is well beyond her years for a day out in New York City.
Suri Cruise has once again found herself under the spotlight because of her grown-up fashion. The 5-year-old daughter of Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes was recently photographed looking well beyond her years as she stepped out in New York City sporting bright red lipstick.
To match her make-up, the little fashionista opted to go with a navy blue Kid by Phillip Lim eyelet dress that she paired with a carnation pink hat and a matching scarf. For the Friday (September 9) day out, she also wore a pair of silver Repetto ballet slippers and carried a Little Mermaid purse.
This is not the first time Suri was spotted wearing a coat of red lipstick on her lips though. Back in February 2010, the famous toddler was spotted with red lips when going out to dine with mom Katie in the Big Apple. Her father Tom had said that Suri is "very much like her mother," adding, "She will not wear trousers, only dresses."
