Blacks cut senior boys
10 Jul 2011
The All Blacks have named a Tri-Nations squad featuring some notable absentees.
The inclusion of Highlanders lock Jarrad Hoeata is dominating the back pages in New Zealand, but the players not in the mix are more interesting. Among those are men previously favoured by Henry – Joe Rokocoko, Neemia Tialata and Luke McAlister.
Furthermore, the duo of Cory Jane and Sitiveni Sivivatu only make the squad as cover for Isaia Toeava (hip), Hosea Gear (hamstring) and Israel Dagg (thigh muscle). The five have, however, done little to aid their cause this season.
With Tony Woodcock still injured, the Crusaders' impressive prop Wyatt Crockett is included in the group. Corey Flynn, Richard Kahui and Piri Weepu also return after injury ruled them out of contention for last year's Grand Slam tour to the northern hemisphere. Crusaders wing Zac Guildford receives a recall on the back of a good Super Rugby campaign.
Henry has backed Colin Slade as his deputy to flyhalf Dan Carter, despite two broken jaws forcing him to miss the bulk of the season. This is the most worrying position for the All Blacks, with a massive gulf in quality between the incumbent and his replacements.
Henry said he placed a high premium on winning the Tri-Nations, even though the World Cup is a primary focus.
'The Tri Nations also remains an important competition for the team this year. We are proud of the record we have achieved over the years and the fact that we have held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003 and it is crucial as we look to build towards the Rugby World Cup,' he said.
All Black Tri-Nations squad -
Backs: Mils Muliaina, Israel Dagg, Isaia Toeava, Hosea Gear, Zac Guildford, Richard Kahui, Conrad Smith, Sonny Bill Williams, Ma'a Nonu, Dan Carter, Colin Slade, Jimmy Cowan, Andy Ellis, Piri Weepu
Forwards: Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Jerome Kaino, Adam Thomson, Liam Messam, Brad Thorn, Ali Williams, Sam Whitelock, Jarrad Hoeata, Ben Franks, Owen Franks, John Afoa, Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu, Corey Flynn, Andrew Hore
Injury replacements: Wyatt Crockett, Cory Jane, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Ben Smith.

11 Jul 2011, 05:22 amYawn, same old same………come up with a new insult doos for brains
11 Jul 2011, 05:25 am@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-200:
mmmm, also at least the Stormers beat the bleating Blues…………
11 Jul 2011, 05:26 amFresh out of I think, when he resorts to 1970′s retoric he read in books about you know he is at a loss!
11 Jul 2011, 05:47 am@whatever(whatever)-202: @Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-203: ahhh look at the two pillow biters enjoying each others company..
so tell me whatever, how often do NZ send the ships over to "rape the islands" as Rangerman attests? and Im ignorant, what a laugh…
Rangers comment is just as ignorant, but of course you remain silent dont you pondlife?
as for insults, have you found a new word besides Doos,….its been four years and you still havent expanded your vocabulary, surely NZs dole office will give you a little extra to advance your education..
lord nows you need it…
11 Jul 2011, 05:56 amJa Pops, if those insults make you feel any better keep it up.
11 Jul 2011, 06:04 amWhatever
so the stormers beat the blues, who cares. neither team made the final
good comeback though, one of your very best.
11 Jul 2011, 06:33 amRanger, is this how NZ "rapes the islands"?
New Zealand aid funds in the Pacific are being stretched thin and need to have increased focus, according to a Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee report.
The Pacific Inquiry into New Zealand's Relationships with South Pacific Countries, which has been tabled in Parliament, contained more than 40 recommendations for the Government to consider.
Among the recommendations, the committee called for an increased focus for the $600 million of aid given to the region, saying that efforts were being spread to widely.
It suggested that $100 million of aid funds be channelled through existing trading banks on normal commercial terms to Pacific Islanders with "sound business plans".
11 Jul 2011, 07:00 amJeez, mate have a hernia or what?
Firstly if you want to talk about sticking together, lets talk about wet pantie and you …..you are stuck so far up his ar se it's not even funny. You can see his tonsils…
You even use his "pondlife" retort…… very original
Also, ranger is ranger, and I don't take his comments as mine, so reply to him
And yes, I use doos , cause it's a great description of you
Said with meaning , now gaan k uk anderkant dude.
11 Jul 2011, 07:01 amStormers my team, Blues yours………..just reminding you!
11 Jul 2011, 07:07 am@whatever(whatever)-208: hey, youre the one who poked his nose in to my reply to ranger, so how about you stay out of what doesnt concern you..
as for the pondlife remark, I couldnt think of a better term for for such a lowlife one eyed ignoramus… so, no comment on the "how many ships" question I asked you? thought so, avoid the issue yet again… guess thats what you get when you poke your nose in huh? look carefully, you'll see my comment was directed at Ranger, not you… so, suck on them lemons you sourgat…
as for the Stormers, who cares, they looked real good in their semi final just like my team, but at least my team has 3 Super titles, remind me again how many your team has?
what was that? none you say? bwahahahahahahahaha
11 Jul 2011, 07:21 amMake up your mind Pops, should we chip in or stay out? Can't have it both way…
PS I will give you a hint, if you talk kuk about SA on a SA blog expect people to comment on it.
11 Jul 2011, 07:32 am@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-211: two way street Slarti, or do you disagree?
I only ever respond to rubbish said about NZ… cant remember which thread, but one Saffa was happy Chch got hit by the earthquake? WTF?
would you react to that? would you not get your back up when you see comments like that?
11 Jul 2011, 07:38 am@poppa69(poppa69)-212:
1 saffa now it is all of us.
if you ever come to South Africa I can organise you lots of accom in townships. -
11 Jul 2011, 07:48 amThe thing is Pops, this is a SA blog with +90% of posts coming from Saffas. You can't expect me to even get close to pull every single SA poster up when they say something off. There are a number of posters I ignore and not bother to even read because of lame and over the top stupid comments. don't ever expect me to pull them up, it is a fulltime job which I did not sign up for. Best is to ignore them and if enough people do it they will go away.
Having said that if you post your over the top rubbish about a country you have never visited and I come across it you can expect me to comment on it. read that however you want but it does mean that I do read your stuff.
For the record, you go back and see if you can find where I insulted you today before you jumped in with some name calling. Don't go around kicking my dog just because someone else I have never met kicked your dog. It is childish and reflex poorly…
11 Jul 2011, 07:53 amPoops won't go near the townships.
In case he drops the k bomb again.
He will be avoiding the dutchies as well.
Oh well, I guess capo the poodlefucker will have to babysit him.
They can compare notes.
11 Jul 2011, 07:57 amFern
says the bloke who generalizes about kiwi woman as dishgustingly as you do
our mothers, sisters etc.
so it's not just one saffa huh?

11 Jul 2011, 08:48 amStill one of my favorites but the muppits were so eager to fight nobody even picked it up…
11 Jul 2011, 09:47 amSeeig as the general consensus is that defence wins WC's how about the following squad of 40 for the WC?
LH: Gurthro/Beast/Coenie or Dean Greyling
HKR: Strauss/Smit/Bismarck
TH: Jannie/Werner/CJ
Locks: Bakkies/Flip/Rossouw/Matfield/Bekker
Loosies: Brussow/Juan Smith/Alberts/Louw/Burger/Johnson/Strauss/Spies/Kankowski/Vermeulen

FH: Lambie/Butch/Steyn
Centre: Strauss/Jean/De Jongh/Fourie/Steyn
Wings: Mvovo/JPP/Habana/Basson
FB: Steyn/Daniller/ ViljoenA team like this might not be a popular choice with most, but they can defend and win the WC
Guthro, Strauss, Jannie, Bakkies, Matfield, Brussow, Juan, Alberts, F du P, Butch, Basson, Strauss, Fourie, JPP, Frans Steyn
Subs: Smit, Bissy, Bekker, Rossouw, Hougaard, Lambie, De Villiers
11 Jul 2011, 09:47 amPoppa
now why are you wasting your time on this racist, sexist, bottom-feeding pondlife SCUM ?!
What sort of 'person' turns up on a blog and feels the need to expand on his lovelife with his "kiwi girlfriend" – to an audience of anon rugby bloggers – only to then turn around and eloquently now call them all "slappers" ? This whilst living in a country that has offered him an opportunity to better himself, as if the scope for that isnt unlimited.
Do you ever read JockBok – an emigrant – slander his adopted nation ?
or SAussie ?
or SodaJoe ?
you wont even find the Master Baiter, Boy George, dissing his gentrified English surrounds.
or countless others in similar positions ?!
Nope, this bottom-feeding teenage pondlife scum has yet to expand his vocabulary beyond the gutter. Because thats where he should have stayed.
11 Jul 2011, 10:45 am@Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-219:
Andries Strauss at 12???? Hahahahahahaha Him in a Bok jumper was painful to watch vs Barbarians in 2010.He had a good CC 2010, but no way is he Bok material.De Jongh/F.Steyn/De Villiers even Doppies are better players.
11 Jul 2011, 10:46 am@Black Panther(Black Panther)-220: chill boys.gunther and his mates do not represent the voice of 50 million south africans.i guess that you have your fair share of kiwi idiots as well.
11 Jul 2011, 10:58 am@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-221: That maybe, but he can tackle the **** out of anybody in his channel. Remeber I said based on defence!!
11 Jul 2011, 11:15 am@Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-223:
Fair enough but i think your using hyperbole's to describe Strauss-even his defense.He is solid,very efficient but not a monster tackler like say a Sam Tuitupou or something.Not Bok material period.Dries Scholts and Tiaan Joubert were great defenders but you wouldnt see them anywhere a Bok XV or jumper.Too limited and once you spread the field,his speed is abysmal.Any centre with acceleration can beat him due to that cumbersomeness.He is a solid professional, he did an outstanding job for my Sharks last year for sure.But one CC campaign isnt tantamount to a starting Bok place.

Actually, Gunther happens to be on my 'Preferred Keo Bloggers' list and, if anything, adds a far more positive impression of SA here than the vast majority otherwise do.

11 Jul 2011, 12:05 pmWoodcock will start, he definitely needs gametime and wont be overtly tested vs Fiji. Altho, hopefully he is.
Ali.W also needs to start – his presence and slow return to form is a Major boost to this AB squad. His cherry personality will be so impt as the pressure valve slowly increases. And he'll teach Whitelock about the whole environment and keep him keen – and hopefully vice versa.
Toeava should only start in Centre or Fb, for injuries. But, again, he needs gametime.
Cant understand Afoas eternal inclusion but he must now be the utility frontrower. Did we see him at hooker this season, after that red herring was thrown to the media earlier this year ?
11 Jul 2011, 12:12 pm@Black Panther(Black Panther)-227:
you are a gentleman and a scholar.
unlike our four legged friend varkirie who farts_in the face of Darwin.
I would limit my interaction with him to once a day.
any more than that and you risk infection.
11 Jul 2011, 12:15 pmBP
I thought Toeava played well on the wing on the EOYT. had a blinder against Wales and Scotland on the right flank. Dagg covers the back and is not a bad winger too. Toeava has the speed over most except Guildford. Had Crockett in there thinking Woodcock was still injured. Afoa is a Bolter in my eyes, like Hoeata. Ali Williams, Thorn and Whitelock form a very good locking trio. Talk of Nonu playing wing, rather have Kahui covering the wing spot as well as Centre. Thought Ranger might have made the squad, but all in all, I like this outfit. -
11 Jul 2011, 12:22 pmRanger makes too many mistakes – he was gift-wrapped a chance, and he showed all his tackle-bustling attributes, but carelessly ignored all the disciplinary ones which is what gets you in the squad. You can run thru as many tackles as you like but if your D or positional awareness or your concentration is lacking, then the door is closed – Maitland is a classic case in point, truckloads of tries and yet exposed early in the season on D and never improved. Sivivatu is a classic case – he worked on his D and concentration and suddenly he became a Test fixture.
11 Jul 2011, 12:30 pm@CSI:Rugby(CSI:Rugby)-231: @Black Panther(Black Panther)-232:
Looks like Cory Jane paid the price of being a Hurricane.
Only two specialists wings in the squad.
NZ have been down this road before:
- playing Cullen at centre.
-playing Mils at centre.
-playing Lochore at lock.it usually ends in tears.
11 Jul 2011, 12:33 pmBP
Couldn't agree more about all the points listed. Throw Rokocoko on that list. I have a great feeling about this forward pack, especially the tight 5. I think Mike Cron has something special for this international season. Tietjens as fitness coach is the smartest move ever. It's funny watching the news here in Australia about how NZ is worried about the Reds win and the revival of Aussie rugby. Mind games in full effect. -
11 Jul 2011, 12:41 pmCane,
Not a cane, but being played out of position by Hammett. Best winger on his day but didn't see anything from him this season, though if he were to be selected on the wing I'd be very happy as well.
11 Jul 2011, 12:46 pmdont forget Ronald MacDonald FB -> Centre
Goldie wing -> FB
lets pray that GH plays whatever combos he has in mind NOW.
I have no doubt Tarzan will be there. He hasnt exactly graced himself in favour tho, the whole stay-go shenanigans and the Twit'a episodes dont fit in to GHs schoolmaster setup.
11 Jul 2011, 12:52 pmAustralia, like it or not, are on the right line of the Performance Curve and will be the team to beat come RWC.
The Reds victory is a major fillip for them and so be it, they were great all season. But there is NO correlation betw Super form/results and TriN or RWC glory, too much evidence in support to list here.
Australia DO remind me a bit of NZ 2007 in that they are a young'ish team and over-rely on mercurial talents like Quade and Genia to get them over the line, like ABs did with McCaw & DC. Will be interesting to see whether that is an advantage or a hindrance when theyre at the coalface of BMT.
11 Jul 2011, 12:53 pmCane, BP,
I'm sure Ted has enough class to cover all scenarios. Surely a tried and tested team is best. All major positions covered.
11 Jul 2011, 12:59 pmBP
I still have reservations on their scrums and set pieces. They have the most gifted back line, but as you well know, no forward domination, no front foot ball. I applaud the Reds, deserved victors on the weekend. But agree on the facts of no link between world cup success due to super rugby success, maybe 2007 is an arguement
11 Jul 2011, 15:05 pmIn Ted We Trust.
Let's print it on Our $1.00 bill.
11 Jul 2011, 15:11 pm@Black Panther(Black Panther)-236:
Ted's last shot at immortality.
If he has too,
he will go with class bullies, exam cheats and truants.
High School Principle or not.59 days to High Noon.
11 Jul 2011, 15:55 pmSure is. Great coach, but his Business Plan still has a few glitches.
Your opinion of him is noted. Lets all hope youre wrong.
If Dingo wasnt Dingo he'd have a little GH-smirk starting to tik….
11 Jul 2011, 16:02 pmflying in the face of public opinion, I suspect that the Crusaders loss might translate in to a good thing for the ABs, not a bad one. Their mindset going in to the RWc must be one of absolute desperation, backs-to-the-wall. Too much cheers-bro success and floss has a tangible downside in a comfy environment. A big scandal could also do the trick, seems to work for the Safas.
Have your say

Troy Davis Put to Death in Georgia | Photos | Videos | Commentaries
Troy Davis put to death in Georgia
By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 11:56 PM EST, Wed September 21, 2011
Davis case to become global 'scandal'
NEW: Inmate tells victim's family he was not guilty
Troy Davis put to death late Wednesday
U.S. Supreme Court denied stay of execution
The original prosecutor says the facts support Troy Davis' sentence
Jackson, Georgia (CNN) -- Troy Davis, whose case drew international attention, was put to death by lethal injection for the 1989 killing of an off-duty police officer in Savannah, Georgia, prison officials announced Wednesday night.
Davis was defiant to the very end. After he was strapped to the death gurney, he lifted his head to address the family of the slain officer.
He told the family of Mark MacPhail that he was not responsible for the officer's death and did not have a gun at the time, according to execution witnesses.
Davis said the case merited further investigation, talking fast as officials prepared to give him the lethal cocktail.
The execution followed the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of a stay, allowing the state to proceed. Davis was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. ET.
Throughout the day, Davis' lawyers and high-profile supporters had asked the state and various courts to intervene, arguing he did not murder MacPhail in 1989.
Davis initially had been scheduled to die by lethal injection at 7 p.m. ET. But the proceeding was delayed more than three hours as the justices pondered a plea filed by his attorney.
Several hundred people, most of them opposing the proceeding, gathered outside the state prison in Jackson where Davis, 42, awaited his fate. Others held a vigil in a nearby church.
The inmate's sister, Martina Davis-Correia, was among those who held a vigil outside the prison. Before the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, she said officials needed to take more time to examine the case. "When you are looking at someone's life, you can't press rewind."
More than 100 officers, many in riot gear, stood guard over the largely-quiet gathering, which featured candles, occasional prayers and songs. At least three people who crossed the street had been taken away in handcuffs.
"Tonight the state of Georgia legally lynched an innocent man," Davis' lawyer Thomas Ruffin Jr. said. "Tonight I witnessed something tragic."
Davis' supporters, who also rallied outside the U.S. Supreme Court building, argued that his conviction was based on the testimony of numerous witnesses who had recanted, including a jailhouse informer who claimed Davis had confessed.
"There's a genuine feeling among people here and across the nation that we're about to do the unthinkable," said Isaac Newton Farris Jr., president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
But prosecutors have stood by the conviction, and every appeal -- including the last-minute petitions filed Wednesday -- has failed.
Davis's supporters cheered and hugged each other when news of the earlier delay reached them. But it did not sit well with McPhail's mother, who remained at home.

Longman & Eagle's Thanksgiving menu is the stuff food fantasies are made of. So we asked chef Jared Wentworth what we could do with our leftovers. He concocted a recipe so tempting that we're considering starving on Turkey Day itself in order to save room for the ultimate leftover feast.
Get the recipe.
With stuffing, sweets, and meats monopolizing the fridge, vegetables are usually forgotten. We asked chef Amanda Cohen of New York's veg-only hotspot Dirt Candy to give us a reason to consume rather than compost. Though Cohen hails from Canada, she knows how Americans roll on Black Friday: right out of bed and into the kitchen for a low-fuss breakfast.
Not only does Bi-Rite Market's new book, Eat Good Food, advise us on how to choose the best holiday bird, it also gives us a zesty idea for our leftover sandwich. Sam Mogannam, author and owner of the popular San Francisco grocery store, allowed us to adapt the deli's romesco chicken salad recipe for post-Turkey Day purposes.
We dared Bluestem's pastry chef, Megan Garrelts, to improve upon our homemade pumpkin pie. She accepted the challenge and simply added layers of rich chocolate mousse and frothy meringue. It looks like we've been one-upped.
For one glorious day your gravy boat runneth over — and now it's empty. No one wants to see your naked turkey breast. Dress up slices with a warm, hearty sauce from the pages of Bluestem, the Cookbook, a new collection of recipes from Kansas City-based chefs Colby and Megan Garrelts.
Thanksgiving by the numbers: one wishbone that didn't go your way, eight hours slaving in the kitchen, 21 prying questions about your personal life, a billion dishes washed and dried. You could use a liquid remedy to unwind. Take a tip from Matt Dawson, co-owner of Brooklyn's Henry Public, and put those extra bottles of Martinelli's to good use.
Your attempt at recreating Maw Maw's perfect pecan pie by memory has turned into a sweet mess — but the filling seems salvageable. Leave it to pastry chef Santosh Tiptur of Co Co. Sala in Washington, D.C., to offer up a beautiful solution.
We're not saying those leftover Brussels sprouts are bland (okay, maybe we are), but we definitely wouldn't mind scooping up a recipe from Portland-based Saucebox's menu. Drop the buds in a flavorful Japanese broth and top them off with a yolky poached egg.
Gobs of cranberry sauce get old fast. Chef Alex Diestra of Portland's Saucebox gave us a recipe that does double duty: gets rid of the sweet stuff and spices up leftover turkey.
Yesterday, we worked our fingers to the bone. Now that's all that's left of the turkey. Chef Brandon Boudet (Dominick's, Little Dom's, and The 101 Coffee Shop) suggested we use our picked-over bird to make a hot bowl of turkey broth with sweet potato ravioli and braised greens. Let's give him a hand.
Since Thanksgiving is just the beginning of a four-day fiesta at our house, we're always happy to find a recipe that will feed the whole posse without using a lot of dough. Chef Brooke Smith of the San Antonio River Walk gem, The Esquire Tavern, slipped us her recipe for tasty mashed potato tacos that does just that.
'Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all through the abode, family members were sluggish, lazy, and slowed. Pep them up with a feast of leftover turkey and prosciutto croquettes, courtesy of chef Ray Garcia of Fig in Santa Monica.
You cooked that fifteen-pound bird to perfection. Add the mountain of meat to eggs Benedict with a turkey flair, courtesy of D.C. restaurant 1789.
Give thanks and be glad there are leftovers in the fridge. Comfort food master chef Jimmy Bradley (The Red Cat, The Harrison) shares his favorite Black Friday recipe, adapted for DailyCandy from The Red Cat Cookbook.
Your punishment for whipping up a kick-ass Thanksgiving spread: hungry crowds demanding more. Chef Jean-Jacques Chatelard of McMinnville, Oregon's Bistro Maison feels your pain. He satiates the cravings of wine country revelers who return to his dining room throughout the long holiday weekend with this decadent dish.
You gleeped as many leftovers as your new holiday handbag could hold. (That'll teach 'em to seat you at the kiddie table.) Here's what to do with your take.
Singing the post-Thanksgiving leftover mashed potatoes blues? New York chef Tom Birchard, owner of the Ukrainian eatery Veselka, shared a pierogi recipe from his Veselka Cookbook. You've got the whole day; may as well be ambitious in the kitchen.

Hi there !
I am using the "MPEG Tools" of TMPGEnc to merge MPG video files (MPEG2); and I have 2 questions :
- I see I can only work with MPEG 2 for 30 days because of license stuff ?? (Is it fr reading MPG 2 inout video files or only to produce MPG2 as output ?)
- When I "add" video files, how does it know which one comes before the other one to merge ? Has it something to do with the order I "add" the video files ?
Many Thanks !

How do you bear or produce fruit? It seems like there should be a simple answer but if it is so simple then why don't we see more fruit produced?
Someone who doesn't know a lot about farming may say you just need to plant a seed, water it, and it will grow. The experienced farmer knows better. A lot of work goes into seeing a fruitful harvest. He has to cultivate the ground, kill the weeds, fertilize, plant, water, remove weeds that can choke your plants, and do a lot more work to see a plentiful harvest.
So it is in the life of a Christian. The Lord works with His children to help them produce fruit for God's glory. He cultivates, plants, and removes those things in our lives that can choke us. God fertilizes with His word and waters so we will produce good fruit in our lives.
In John 15, Jesus tells us He is the true vine. This vine is what feeds life eternal. Because Jesus lives, whosoever believes in Him will have everlasting life. God doesn't accept a dead branch. Rather He wants a lively, producing branch and the way that is possible is to abide within the vine and the life of the true vine in you. That is what the Bible means in Romans 12:1, "Ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God." You can't produce any of the Lord's fruit in your life except you first be united with Christ. Jesus tells us in John 15:5, " I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
After you have a union with Jesus then you have communion with Him daily. In John 15:4 the Bible says, "Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." This is the key that will unlock the door to fruitfulness; when people realize they can't live the life of a believer on their own and fully depend upon the indwelling Spirit of God to guide. Then and only then will we see more purged, pruned, and producing Christians. To abide means to have a close presence or to have personal fellowship with. It is a place of peace and pardon that only God provides. The life I am teaching about is not a list of dos and don'ts. The saved life isn't predicated by rules and restrictions but rooted in a relationship with the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
This, my friend, is how we can be "fruit bearing" Christians. Grow for Jesus and allow this fruit to feed others who are hungry for the truth.

The eldest son of former Cuban President Fidel Castro told Efe on Monday that his father is "lucid and working hard," despite having made no public appearance for several months.
"You've seen his message from the other day to (Venezuelan) President (Hugo) Chavez - as always, he's lucid and working hard," Fidel Castro Diaz Balart said.
He was referring to a message his father sent Chavez and which the Venezuelan leader read over the phone on Sept. 10 during a press conference of his party.
In the message, Fidel Castro said that people who support the Venezuelan president deserve "to enjoy" his victory in the Oct. 7 election and hailed Chavez's "iron will."
Fidel Castro, 86, was taken ill in 2006 and delegated power to younger brother Raul Castro, who formally assumed the presidency in 2008.
The elder Castro has retired from public life and since June has not published his famous "Reflections," press articles that he began writing during his convalescence.
In August, a pro-government blog denied stories circulating on the Internet about the state of his health and said that Castro is working on a book with Chavez.

The musical escapades of Luke Vibert have undulated across a wide variety of electronic sub-genres ever since late 80's acid-house and techno were twisted with experimental translation. The development of ambient soundscapes and forward thinking, synthetic music composition grew from a select few Cornwall based bedroom-studios, particularly those belonging to Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Luke Vibert, thus pioneering a genre of music highly treasured by a devout underground following.
With the Ninja Tune release of Toomorrow under the very first of his very many aliases - Wagon Christ, I Like Music sat down for a lengthy chat with Luke Vibert. Starting with the history of Wagon Christ, we chat about his process of making music, hundreds of unreleased tunes, huge mid 90's success, his plans for the future and much more.
"I Like Music because…I don't know any better! I don't even feel like I like music really...I mean, I definitely do like it, I definitely love it, but it feels more like I don't have a choice." Luke Vibert
ILM: All hail the new Wagon Christ album Toomorrow, which possesses some rather wonderful cover art by Celyn …
Luke: Yeah, he did my last two as well, which are definitely not as mad as the new one. It's so kind of tense but then cute… I love it. There's a video coming soon that's by him. He's an old friend from Falmouth. It's good to live in Falmouth like I did as a kid…because of the art school you get people coming down from all over England. That's how I got into dance music really. I didn't know anything about acid house or whatever they called it at the time in '88 or '89, when I was about 15 years old. These art school kids were like "check this out!" Passing round cassettes and old school stuff…
ILM: Your discography includes releases under a number of different names on a variety of labels – notably Ninja Tune, Rephlex and Planet Mu. Your involvement with the label varies greatly, from working incredibly closely to allowing them to choose entire tracklistings. How did you work with Ninja Tune for this release?
Luke: Toomorrow was definitely an album start to finish. Not all the tracks were made around the same time, but they were all compiled together. It took me quite a while after Pete from Ninja said "another Wagon album, sir?" I'd been saving all my favourite sort of Wagon Christ type tracks – which is hard to say because I don't really know what that means – Wagon Christ is more sample-y stuff I suppose. So I saved a load of my best tracks and then we had a session together with some slight compromising. There were a few too many down-tempo tracks for them, I'd always thought of Wagon Christ as more like home listening, chilled out stuff. But they wanted a couple more up tempo tracks on it, so I stuck on a couple more like Wake Up and maybe Manalyze, whatever it's called, Manalyze This.
ILM: Manalyze This! ended up as the first track we heard from Toomorrow...
Luke: Yeah, I'd only done that one maybe six months ago, it was really fresh when we were compiling the album. I sent it to Pete and slightly regretted it, I kept thinking I wouldn't like it in a year or so, but I think it's alright really.
ILM: Well someone has described it as 'the essence of fresh' on Sound Cloud…
Luke: Nice! That was the one Pete wanted Celyn to make a video for. Luckily Celyn changed it, he said he wasn't getting any inspiration or whatever from it and asked if he could choose his own track for the video. I was like "yes, yes!" He chose a much better track, a more weird, home listening-y, melodic one which I was pleased with. I didn't think Manalyze This! suited a video so much, it's more of a 12 inch-y track for me, there's not that much melody going on – there's more bass beats and weird samples. I love that stuff but I wouldn't want a whole album like that. I really bashed it out too; I did it in a day!
ILM: And you're pleased with the final Toomorrow selection?
Luke: Yeah, I'm really happy now, on reflection it's a nice mix. Maybe it would have been nice to get one mad jungle track or something in there, but that doesn't really fit with the Wagon Christ vibe. If possible I'd always like an album to really reflect everything that I like. But that's really hard because I like so much different stuff, so I'm kind of a bit out on a limb there. Most labels are like "we like these few but not these ones, they don't fit together." I think I've got quite a broad, open-minded kind of head.
ILM: So you're not opposed to take a bit of direction from them…
Luke: Yeah, if I trust them that's really cool. It's the same with Mike from Planet Mu, I just really trust him – or at least he has a better idea than I do about what sounds good for his label. Usually with Mike I give him way too many tracks – thirty or even fifty occasionally, and I'll say "right, there you go! Sort them out."
ILM: Fifty!
Luke: Yeah, because I can't choose. It just depends what mood you're in. Sometimes I just think 'well I like that, I like that.' I can't decide which is gonna fit better.
ILM: If you're deep into something it's hard to step away and look at it constructively…
Luke: Yeah, it really is. That's also why I often wait a year or so. When I've done a track I don't give it to anyone at first. I've had too many times in the past where I've thought "yeah I really love this track, I want it out really quick!" and then six months after I've released it I think 'shit, I like it but not nearly as much as I did.' And then another one will grow on me and I realise 'shit, actually this one's better than that one!' It usually takes a few years before I realise what I actually think about a track. Sometimes I'll like a certain track more than another because it's been really good fun to work on, I've had a nice easy ride making it.
ILM: That's similar to the quote by the writer F.Scott Fitzgerald "An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke…" just because certain things really resonate for you, doesn't mean they will for others...
Luke: Ha! I put so many exclamation marks in my music. I kinda wish I didn't, but I can't help it. For me, the exclamation marks are mainly the vocal samples. Sometimes I can leave a track kind of naked with no vocals, but usually I have to sort of pepper it with vocal samples which are definitely like "look at me, listen to me!" I can't help it. If loads of other people did it I wouldn't do it, but not many people do. I do it for my own tracks so I can hear it in them. I really like disparate voices – not talking to each other, but sort of one sample that makes me think of another. Maybe one person saying "get me a tape ready!" then another saying "ok, here's my tape!" Once I've done all the music it kind of gives me another level to get in to.
ILM: So you're continually adding to a bank of samples?
Luke: Yeah, every time I buy records, find something on YouTube or wherever I hear a nice sample, I'll quickly put it aside into whatever folder works. I've got a big folder called Vox with all the voice things – then inside there's singing, talking, vocoda… all kinds of different categories. When I'm doing a track I'll just browse through them, find the first one I like then try and find loads of others that fit with that. The serach will just get more and more specific.
ILM: How long does it typically take for you to complete a track?
Luke: Usually I take a few weeks – not working on it all the time but sort of loading it up for an hour or two here and there and thinking 'oh, I can do a bit more.' Manalyze was really old style, I just blitzed it start to finish. But yeah, I do kind of fear maybe in a few months I won't like it so much, it's so fresh compared to the others, some are like seven odd years old, so I know I like them 'cause they've been around so long.
ILM: Ha! Some of the tracks on Toomorrow are seven years old?
Luke: Yeah! I've remixed them all and brought them up to date, or at least made the sounds a bit more – more so they blend together.
ILM: Where do you create your music these days?
Luke: On this one I think it was all computer, I'm just trying to think…. Maybe there were odd synths I pulled out and just resampled. I do have a few synths and drum machines, but I haven't had a studio set up for a while now. I'm definitely going to soon, I just moved to a new place in January and I've got a spare room which is definitely ear-marked for a studio. But generally I don't really need one. All the keyboard samplers and things I have are boxed up at home, I can do all that so easily on my computer now.
ILM: And for you there's no difference in sound quality?
Luke: Oh yeah, it does sound better, but it just takes ten times longer! I've got a couple of anal friends who say "oh you should really get all your stuff out and use your mixer old school style." But for this yeah, I think every track was off my laptop, just the odd sound where I thought "oh, that'd be nice if I got my 303 out or Juno whatever keyboard…" and I'm lucky to have some of them, they're really expensive now! I got them for about a hundred quid a few years ago, now they're about a thousand. But yeah, it's been a long time since I had a proper studio. I think partly 'cause of having kids – I did have one and then the kids would just come in and start trashing it or whatever because they don't have a playroom…it became a kind of studio-stroke-kids playroom!
ILM: In a 2008 interview you said you had around six or seven hundred unreleased tracks…
Luke: Oh yeah, God, so many more than that now!
ILM: What's the difference between the ones you use and the ones you keep back?
Luke: Often the ones I've saved are my favourites in a way. I'm sort of saving them for something that never ends up happening, which is quite frustrating. When I look back, I suppose I haven't released some of my favourite tracks because I think 'oh no, that doesn't quite fit with this, it's a bit better than this group of tracks.' But then it never gets used, which is a bit sad. I've tried to off-load some of the older ones sometimes and no-one wants them! I probably tried to give them to Planet Mu or Rephlex and they'd say "oh no, don't want that one!"
ILM: Do you think people might get to hear some of them at some point?
Luke: Oh yeah, I'm sure, God yeah. I'll probably just release a hard-drive at some point if they haven't come out. Here's 5000 tracks everyone! Enjoy! We were talking about doing a double album - two CDs or four vinyl - and I managed to talk Pete out of it. Even though I've got that many that I really like, it just feels a bit too much. I remember as a younger person getting massive albums by people I really liked, maybe by Prince or something and I've always preferred a more concise ten or fifteen tracks. I think with more tracks it gets too confusing.
ILM: You've released under several different names... We would like to take this wonderful opportunity to ask you about them, firstly Wagon Christ, the one which started everything…
Luke: Yeah. Wagon Christ was just what I was called at first. I didn't want to be Luke Vibert or anything else. For three or four years it was just Wagon Christ and at that point I was trying to get out any music I liked under that name. I hadn't really thought 'Wagon Christ should be this kind of music', although I had fallen into ambient stuff by mistake. The first label I was on released a couple of my EPs which were more techno-y. It was '93 and for an album they said "we're not selling any techno albums at the moment, we're only selling ambient albums. Have you made any ambient music?" And I was like "yeah. Yeah! Of course!" just completely lying. So the first couple of Wagon Christ albums ended up more ambient. I still like them, but it doesn't really feel like me just because I was trying a bit too hard to be something I didn't really understand.
ILM: And Plug?
Luke: At that point, none of my friends liked drum and bass at all. That in turn gave me this world view that no-one who liked funkier, down tempo stuff would also like jungle. So I thought 'oh shit, better not mix these tracks up because it'll alienate too many people.' So I made up Plug for the jungle-y stuff. Then I signed a deal with Mo' Wax and had to come up with another name, and I thought 'God, I really don't want another name!' so that was when I decided to just be Luke Vibert.
ILM: Do you associate that with any sound in particular?
Luke: No, that wasn't any kind of music. It was just whatever me and James Lavelle, the Mo' Wax guy, kind of agreed on. It's usually just been because I'm signed to another label and need another name. I thought Kerrier District on Rephlex was going to be a one-off thing – but then I got in to making liveish disco stuff, and again I thought 'this doesn't really sound like me, I'd better come up with a new name.' Same with Amen Andrews, Spac Hand Luke – they were all Rephlex ones. I probably wouldn't have even released them, but I'm really good mates with Grant. He hears all my tracks anyway at some point or another. He was like "ah man, you've gotta put these up, we should group these tracks together." When someone does that I'm like "yeah ok, fine, put them out." If he hadn't said that I probably wouldn't have put them out, I would have just stayed with Wagon Christ, Plug and Luke Vibert. But it's nice to get more stuff out.
ILM: Are there any more planned for the future?
Luke: Um…Are there any other aliases? Those were the main five or six. Although I have started doing cheesy, garage-y, clubby stuff over the last couple of years, so if I release that, shit! That's another name I'll have to come up with. It really doesn't sound like me, it sounds more like Todd Terry or some kind of cheesy house person. Admittedly with weird noises instead of cheesy singing vocals. And weird shouting – but generally, it doesn't sound like me!
ILM: Your collaboration with pedal steel guitarist B J Cole was rather fantastic and is highly rated by many. However, your collaborations are few and far between. What do you look for in terms of musical collaboration?
Luke: Definitely different kinds of people working together. I've tried a few times with people that are quite similar to me. Usually friends like Squarepusher or Aphex or other mates, and it's fine, we'll get pissed or whatever and have a laugh, but usually it's just too similar. Like me, they do everything themselves. So you end up thinking 'oh shit, I wish I was doing the bass line, why's he doing that with the high hats?' It's just too annoying. It's nice with a rapper because they're totally different, like B J Cole, he was just on the peddle steel. I thought we'd only do one, novelty peddle-steel track together, but then he asked for an acid backing track, then a mad drum and bass one. Slowly he was doing all this different stuff on different tracks and I thought 'shit, we could actually release an album that doesn't all sound the same.'
ILM: So it's not something you actively persue...?
Luke: No, because I love doing everything myself! I'm a total control freak! Usually anything anyone else does, for me, kind of takes away slightly from what I've done or whatever I've put in. But it was wicked with B.J. I'd like to do another one but I think it's maybe too much for him. Like I said, I have so many tracks laying around, I sent him about thirty backing tracks two years ago and I think it did his head in a bit. He has to do a lot more work than me, or at least, he has to play the things over and over for weeks to work out what he's going to do. I can knock out a backing track in a couple of hours.
ILM: Back when this all began, you were making music in your Cornwall bedroom. As a result, you've been hailed alongside Aphex Twin as a forefather of the experimental, electronic genres. Going right back to those early days, did you have any idea you were starting something so new?
Luke: It's hard to think about. I think we definitely did think it was new and different, but then, we were in Cornwall so we didn't really know! We just didn't hear much contemporary music. Everything was at least a year late in those pre-internet days! People say the summer of love was '88 or whatever, but in Cornwall we knew nothing about acid or whatever. I think early '89 was the first time anything like that came to Cornwall. Some coke-head DJ from London got a job in this sweet club in Cornwall. And the guy would literally pay him in coke, and he just made us realise, maybe more for Aphex than me. He was playing stuff like 808 State and we hadn't heard anything like that. We were kind of working in a similar-ish field but because we didn't know anything like that, we were sort of getting it a bit wrong, doing something a bit different to everyone else.
ILM: Though you were making music at a similar time from the same place, I've read that Aphex was still a huge influence on you...
Luke: He was the big driving force. He just used to distort things and do stuff that you're not really supposed to do in the studio. I've always liked music, ever since I was a kid, pop music and Prince and stuff. But Aphex didn't, he just liked fiddling with electronics. It wasn't until he heard something on John Peel, much later when he was a teenager. At that time, we'd just turn up with something stupidly loud and think 'oh that sounds good, splat!' But yeah, Aphex was different. And it's only when you really hear other people that you think Christ, it really was different at that time.
ILM: The fact that you were out on a limb in Cornwall seems to have paid off...
Luke: There was no scene in Cornwall! We didn't really have anything to follow, which I think was really good. Being in London I'm sure I would've just fallen into whatever – hip hop probably, and I'd have ended up being a DJ and hip hop backing track maker. But in Cornwall it was all mixed up; we didn't really think about it as hip hop, we'd just think 'oh there's rapping on this track or this track's more up tempo with acidy noises.' It was all just music. I think that was the important thing – not worrying about genres and things like that.
ILM: Since those early days a lot has happened…
Luke: I know, but it's gone so quickly. It's mad! It really doesn't feel that long ago.
ILM: Looking back on your career so far, which have been some of the most memorable moments?
Luke: It depends I suppose, on different levels. One thing I look back to is the mid 90s, that was a mad time. I was just really lucky. It's partly due to all the press, it definitely didn't correlate with the amount of records I was selling, I've never sold that many records. But at one point I was doing really well with press and getting loads of interviews, photo sessions and things. That led to remixes. I think record labels used to all read those mags, they obviously thought 'oh, he's quite popular, let's get him to remix our latest whoever person we're trying out.' And I'd get all these mad remixes in the mid '90s, sometimes like ten grand just for one remix! That's just a highlight purely on a business level, obviously, but that was a mad time looking back. It was one of those times when I thought 'wow, this is amazing, it's only going to get better!' But it just sort of fell off completely, by the late '90s no-one was asking me for remixes anymore and when they did it was always either free or some special deal, "I'll do one for you and you do one for me" or whatever. But that's a mad highlight when I think back – it was just so easy. I could do remixes really quick too and at one point I was earning so much money! Ha ha! It was really exciting, I just spent it all though! Ha ha!
ILM: How about playing sets...
Luke: Well, that's kind of got better really! Mainly I think, because I've relaxed. I used to just be too nervous. It's only really been over the last five years that I can kind of relax and actually occasionally look at the audience, rather than trying to get it done and get off stage as quickly as possible!
ILM: You've played all over the world! What have been some of those highlights?
Luke: I have done some mad gigs. Maybe America, back in the mid '90s again. Most of my highlights will probably be back to the mid '90s, there were lots of things happening for the first time! I was one of the first people to play jungle to American kids, that was really fun. They'd just never heard anything like it – they were trying to dance really fast to this music! Ha ha! There's loads of funny memories. Playing places like Detroit, where you can't even get a gig anymore because it's so run down, it's fucked. But at that point there was still a good scene in America. I think it's gone a lot more rocky or whatever, it's not so dance-y in America now. Or at least it's just proper clubs, not me or Aphex type music, so it's just hard to make it work out there now. I haven't done a tour of America for God knows how many years…
ILM: What made those American tours so special?
Luke: Yeah, those were wicked tours just driving around America for a few weeks. That was great. We were driving, not flying, so you could take whatever drugs and be like 'nnngh' on the tour bus – really good, doing acid looking out the window, just going 'ooooooooo'. It was also pre-responsibilities. My daughter was born in 2000, so since then life's definitely gone better, it's more manageable, I can live day to day a lot easier. In the past I was usually a bit fucked most of the time. Just not sleeping, just on any kind of drug staying up all night, but that was kind of why I think it was partly such a good time for music, like art. I do think if you fuck yourself up a bit that can kind of produce the best results for other people…just not necessarily for your head.
ILM: Through having a child I suppose you feel more connected to other people, more normal…
Luke: More like everyone else, yeah. Which is really nice, but not so good for creativity. In a way it's good to be on your own and a bit fucked up...
ILM: What would be your advice to young artists?
Luke: I kind of feel sorry for them initially, or at least I feel like I was really lucky from the time that I was around. We didn't realise, but we were sort of right at those early stages of making music from your bedroom. It seemed really easy at the time but I'm sure I was lucky; you'd just send a few tapes around, people would write back "oh yeah, we like this." It was just that easy – there weren't many people making it, there was a lot more money for the labels… It's a tough time now. I mean the web's great too, anyone can whack stuff up on the web but then, everybody does. It's definitely harder to be seen these days. You've gotta either be gorgeous or have some kind of gimmick, it's harder to be some kind of average Joe.
ILM: That communal aspect of sharing music has moved almost fully online now…
Luke: Yeah, it's not so specialist. You don't get that weird feeling. In the past before the internet, you'd kind of get some slightly chuffed feeling of discovering something like 'oh wow, this is great, I've found it' and not many other people had discovered it. Even some of the most obscure records I've got are all up online somewhere, someone's written about them somewhere – I think there's one record, literally, that I've got that no-one's written about on the internet. I only know because I was recording it in the other day, this weird old electro track. Often when I record something in and I've got nothing to do for five minutes when I'm putting the vinyl on my computer so I can DJ it, I go online, write the name of the record in and then see what people have written about it. And it's just so rare now to find something that isn't really well documented!
ILM: Do you still buy records?
Luke: Oh God yeah! I haven't for a few months now because I had such a horrible tax bill, it's a bit tight at the moment moneywise. But yeah, it's my biggest vice.
ILM: How many do you have?
Luke: I don't know – about 20,000 I think. Roughly, probably. At a guess.
ILM: Are they at home?
Luke: Yeah, I've got about five out and on display or a bit more maybe – between five and ten, then loads in the attic hidden away. But they're kind of the more interesting ones really – the ones that are out are like DJ style ones from hip hop to hardcore drum and bass, techno or whatever and everything in between. But yeah, the ones upstairs are more soundtrack, weird, easy listening stuff I bought maybe more for sampling purposes back in the day. God, I've got so many things I should go through and listen to but it's just such a big pile, I can't face it at the moment.
ILM: What are your future plans?
Luke: Yeah, I'm doing a Ninja show on 19th March 2011 [get tickets here!]. I'm doing a Plug thing for Ninja which is really old, just the oldest jungle stuff I made, '94 to '96 kind of era. I was amazed, they just kind of talked me into it. Pete read in some interview that I did that I had loads of old Plug tracks that I hadn't released. He sent me an email saying "would you be interested in doing an album?" And I was like "mm, not sure…" He was like "with an advance?" and I was like "yeah, ok, let's do it!" Then a Planet Mu definitely in September, just a Luke Vibert one which I think is a bit more up tempo, dancey style than the Wagon. Also a bit more analogue, a few acidy tracks. Kerrier District's coming very soon I think, just an EP. But yeah, loads really. There's probably something I've forgotten about... I'm always working.
ILM: Cool. We're very glad that you are.
Luke: Yeah, well like I said in the I Like Music because, it's like I don't have a choice. Especially having the kids…I have a few weeks of not making music every so often and I just turn into a really horrible person. I mean listening too, I couldn't imagine if you couldn't listen to music any more, I'd literally probably go mad in about three days or something. But even making it – I just become a real moody bastard if I can't get that release out.

on Dec 20 at 7:56am Peyton Noelle was born. she weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. we just got home and things are pretty good. we are having some trouble with breastfeeding but so far its okay.
and then there were two
You are here
congratulations to all of you! i bet you are so thrilled, i know you were tired of being pregnant.
what's going on with the breastfeeding? hopefully someone here can help.
congratulations again, and welcome to peyton!
congrats girl!!! good luck with the breastfeeding!!
Oh Des. What I would give to be with yal right now. Much love to you and yours.
Congratulations!!! :)
What kind of breastfeeding problems are you having? Someone here might have some advice. Better yet, see if you can get in touch with a lactation consultant through the hospital, or the local La Leche League people--they may be able to help.
Best to you!
Awww congrats!! If she isn't takeing much make sure to pump so you don't dry up!!!
Congratulations! :D
Congrats!!!!!1 D Emma Lynn was born this december 20th too! lol a good day! about the breastfeeding, what is going on there. I have the name of a website somewhere about that, I will try and find it for you, Emma wouldn't really for the day or two but now she is quite a drinker! ) I will look for the name of that site and congrats again!
Alli and baby Emma!
we are having latch problems. and the fact that it took some time to get my milk in really didnt help. i have talked with some people at the hospital and they have been trying to help me but its getting really frustrating for the both of us. sometimes she gets on really good and other times she doesnt at all.
Hey, congratulated you on LJ but heres more for good measure!
Well done on birthing your little girl. Welcome Peyton!
Welcome A to the adventures of being a big sister (she'll do great) and health, warmth & happieness to the 4 of you.
Hope you get some good help with the latch issues. I wondering if she might have a stuffy nose? That can affect latch. Good luck with it all and hope you get all the help you need.
Congrats! I love the name that you picked out
Congratulations!!! I hope the breastfeeding goes well for ya!
Congratulations :)
I had a bit of problems with latching when Trey was born, and the hospital lactation consultant suggested the use of a nipple shield. It sticks on to your nipple and the babe latches on that, and it draws your nipple out into the correct shape, and then you just make a quick switch. It really helped with my own problems with latching, if things get too frustrating it might be worth a try. Good luck!
Congratulations!! :)
congrats on your birth and new baby!
good luck with that breastfeeding. we had a rough go of it, i hope yours gets easier
:D Congrats mama!!!

I know a lady who runs a food program for the needy in Quail Valley. If I could, I would take her shopping so that she didn't have to struggle to give out good quaility food or stress that she won't have enough to go around. If I couldn't do that I would take her and her husband out for the best dinner possible--cause they always give away their own food!

I ordered this one because it's all I needed. Our party place do not allow balloons. The other packages include something we don't need. Thank God they have this "add on" option and it's cheaper. The quality is good, it meets my expectation. It was delivered to me fast. The shipping fee is a bit high though.

The male was stirred from slumber, light passing faintly through his closed eyelids. Upon opening them, light hit his [Eye color] eyes, causing him to squint. How much later had it gotten? he wondered. His curiosity lead him to look at the alarm clock, which was placed neatly on the side table next to the large bed, whose blankets were coiled around the man like a boa constricting its prey. It read clearly in bright red letters: 8:00a.m. He sighed happily. It couldn't have been too longs since his lover had awoken him earlier. Speaking of his lover, wher

We moved in next door to a couple of brothers, one about my age and the other in his twenties. They were both outside as my dad heaved out all of the furniture out of the back of his truck. The older brother offered help, which my father graciously agreed. The two adults shooed both me and the young boy to go play, which we did. Running after each other, playing hide and seek, we played a whole bunch that day. And every day after that. This young boy became my very best friend, and the one person I could tell anything to. We're both 17 years

How the dream began~Wolves of the forgotten BeachThe white wolf stood on the sandy beach. The wolf had a firm grasp in the dry sand that seeped into the cracks of his paws. The sun began to rise on his shiny white coat. The sky turned various colors; a calming pink, uneasy purple and a calming blue. The colors seemed to represent each of the wolf's emotions. The sea began to crash loudly onto the sand, like thunder roaring in the sky. The wolf shuttered at the mere sound of the sea. He slowly closed his eyes to ignore the sea and its horrid sounds. He heard forelegs running toward the sea and heard the splash of the shallow waters. The wolf opened his eyes to see who entered the sea s

Came a panicked call. "Don't open your eyes! You're not ready yet" The words were concerned and he felt himself wanting to comply, letting his eyes remain closed peacefully. The sound of more footsteps soon came to his ears, as well as more excited voices, all sounding the same but with a sliv
My Fair Lady... Part One(This is a fanfiction based off of the anime, Black Butler. Most of the beginning is based off episode 12. It has a twist where, instead of leaving Drocell on the ground to die, Sebastian picks him up and teaches him to be a good butler.) "...It's not all over, it appears." Sebastian said to Ciel as the doll stood up."So I thought to myself: I will report to my master." Drocell stood up a bit of staw came falling out of his head. He walked to his master's door, slowing down with each step, as more staw fell out and hit the brown, wooden ground."What's wrong with him?" Grell asked.
