Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
P1: Follow the prow of the buttress over broken ledges/ramps, trending right to an obvious, large weakness in a roof. Watch for loose rock throughout; pay attention to where you are putting your protection. Pull through the slot in the roof on generously-sized holds onto a ledge with a small tree. Note the rappel station on the rock horn left of the tree. Belay. (75 feet)
Begins past the Amphitheater. Down the hill right of the Amphitheater area ("Bird's Nest," "Monopoly," etc.), find the start to "Golden Arches"--an obvious dihedral to a left-facing dihedral/flake, right of a large roof. Start about 10 feet further right of "Golden Arches" at an obvious buttress of broken rock.
Small cams are nice, but probably not required. A 3- or 4-inch piece is nice for the large crack in the roof at the first belay, but not mandatory.

>Here are a couple examples for you.Yup, that's what I'm talking about! Your ISO9000/16000 on your D3s coupled with your 85mm at f/1.8 allows lots of ambient and a little flash goes a long way. Did you turn the flash around backwards or hold it in your hand? I find it simpler to turn it around backwards.But when doing this, always use regular TTL or Manual, so you can get dependable results.RussRetired Professional PhotographerNikonian ModeratorRussell MacDonald PhotographyNikon CLS Practical Guide

At Whole Essential 4 U Massage Studio, therapists excel in many different styles of massage, each of which can be augmented with indulgent add-ons and extras. While clients enjoy a relaxing Swedish massage, multiple masks can help tighten skin on the face or around the eyes. Aromatherapy is included with each type of massage, including deep tissue sessions and hot stone massages, which call upon the therapeutic properties of heat to help release endorphins and decrease cramping caused by arthritis. On top of in-studio treatments, the therapists can also take their massage tables on the road for events as well as for treatments administered at their clients' homes, hotels, offices, or panic rooms.
Clients walking into La Bella Delle Rose Salon might sense a warm, personal aesthetic shaping the styling studio, even if they don't know that the dark-wood reception desk was hand-built by the owner's father. Sherbet-colored walls backdrop ice-cream-themed decorations, a popcorn machine commingles with the coffeemaker in the waiting area, and a manicure station recalls a fortune-teller's table with its scarlet damask draping. While basking in Pureology hair treatments or being prepped for weddings and other landmark occasions, guests sit beneath studio lighting, which helps them tell stylists apart from IRS agents.
The A-team of health experts at Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine of Ohio consists of surgeons, chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and even neurologists. This diverse staff helps patients manage ailments of nearly any kind through holistic and medical means. The healers are especially focused on pain management and restoring function to out-of-order joints, helping clients recover from auto accidents and sports injuries.
Candles flicker inside the marble fireplace, sending droplets of light into the colonial revival–style home, built in the 1920s, that houses Quintana's Barber & Dream Spa. Hardwood floors and tan leather seating compose a warm color palette, and WiFi—installed by the ghost of the original architect—keeps busy guests connected. After appointment reminders land in their email inboxes, clients step into the earth-toned sanctuary for services ranging from basic mani-pedis and beard trims to all-day spa excursions. Guests pluck from a menu of massages, facials, waxing, and haircare, and such treatments are combined in packages for individuals and couples.
Quintana's soothing sanctuary doesn't just speak for itself. Patrons banded together to vote the salon into CityVoter's top five for Best Barber in 2009 and Best Manicure and Pedicure in 2009 and 2010. The spa's acclaim page also spotlights press recognition of Friendliest Staff, Best-Looking Storefront, and Most Helpful Combs.
Under the helm of skilled nail technician and owner Regina Kinsey, Polished Nail Salon's staff grooms hands and feet with manicures and pedicures for women and men alike. Throughout the day, the salon's experienced crew bustles about the space artfully positioning sculpted glass nails atop existing keratin beds and performing waterless manicures that gussy up hands without the hassles of coaxing each finger into a life jacket.
The trained hands at Abosede's Healing Touch navigate their way through tense and knotted muscles during massages. Appointments aim to alleviate aches and tension, decrease high blood pressure, and address sleep issues. A number of add-ons, including aromatherapy and shadow-puppet shows, further relax clients. Master Reiki Healer Tammie also offers Reiki healing sessions and teaches classes in Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

The Scottish Borders region
Kelso Abbey
Built in 1128 and the years following, Kelso Abbey was one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture. Finally finished, it was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and St John in 1243. It was soon one of the largest and richest in Scotland, having a superb library in medieval times. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Abbot of Kelso was granted the right to wear a mitre, which gave him a precedence higher than any other Scottish abbot. The abbey's wealth came from its vast lands, its churches, schools, farms and its granges in the Cheviot Hills.
Floors Castle at Kelso
Floors Castle was originally built for my predecessor, the 1st Duke of Roxburghe, in 1721. The Castle was first opened to the public in 1977. Since then we have welcomed well over a million visitors. This is very much our family home and I am sure you will enjoy visiting if you get the chance.Once here you can sample our Chef's cooking in the Terrace Restaurant and the Coffee Shop. You can explore the magnificent Castle Gardens, enjoy the historical architecture and artifacts within Floors Castle.
Smailholm Tower
-The stunning views from the battlements.
- The completeness of the 15th-century laird's residence – the roofed and floored four-storey tower house together with the adjacent buildings and barmkin (courtyard) wall.
-The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border exhibition in the tower house – costume figures and tapestries of extraordinary charm and captivating interest illustrating the intimate link between Smailhom, Scott and his Minstrelsy.

"Absolutely fantastic!"
We stayed at the 'Old Seed Store' with friends and family last weekend whilst we attended a local event in Kelso. There were 2 couples who had a double room each and my Mum and Sister shared the twin attic room. It was ideal for the 6 of us.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay here, the property has everything you need and really is a home from home. We felt very welcome as soon as we opened the door. The property is very warm and inviting, just what you need for a brisk and chilly November weekend! The rooms are tastefully decorated and the kitchen is great for entertaining/cooking (not that we got round to much cooking!) There was plenty of space for the 6 of us and probably more!
We would highly recommend The Old Seed Store as a base to explore the Scottish borders. Being in the centre of Kelso was ideal for us as we could walk around the town without worrying about cars and driving and we had some fabulous meals out just a few steps from the house. The men enjoyed a round of golf at the Roxburgh hotel, whilst the ladies lunched and had a nosey around the shops (bliss!)
It was a great weekend and the old seed store made it that extra special for us
We will definately be back soon, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Spotify for Windows Phone 8 updated, kills beta tag and adds track scrubbing
Spotify originally debuted on Windows Phone 7, but it took a few extra months to make the leap to Windows Phone 8 with a beta release in February. Starting on Monday, Microsoft is removing the beta tags and releasing what it calls a "big" update to the Windows Phone 8 version. Microsoft's manager of Windows Phone, Joe Belfiore tweeted about the upcoming update, noting that it includes more languages, offline playlist improvements, and track scrubbing.
Surprisingly, the existing Spotify Windows Phone app does not include scrubbing, meaning it's not possible to fast-forward or scrub through a track. Belfiore notes that "you may need to wait a few hours for the app to be available," and we'll update this article once we get a full list of all the changes.
Update: the app update is now available, complete with a visual scrubber for music tracks. There are no other major changes to report.

Rainy Day, Not So Much!
Well, today was not something we prepared for - any of us. It started out great, we slept in a bit and decided to go to Den Haag (The Hague). We boarded the train and rode for an hour and half, transferring once in Utrecht. The train ride was beautiful, it rained the entire time and all colors seemed a shade more intense.

Citywide Monuments Conservation Program to Preserve George Segal GAY LIBERATION Sculpture
This Thursday, just in time for Pride Week, NYC Parks' Citywide Monuments Conservation Program will care for Gay Liberation, a bronze sculptural group depicting two women seated together and two men standing. Created by George Segal in 1980, it is placed across from the Stonewall Inn, where in 1969 a series of riots by members of the gay community took place, ushering in the modern Gay Rights Movement in the United States.
George Segal, a native New Yorker, worked as a sculptor from the 1940s until his death in 2000. Gay Liberation is exemplary of Segal's signature placement of anonymous monochromatic figures in public spaces. Segal was known for pioneering the use of plaster bandages to create uniquely textured casts for many of his sculptures. Other notable works include Street Crossing, (1992) in Montclair State University, The Commuters(1982) in New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal, and The Holocaust (1982) in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
Gay Liberation and many other monuments throughout New York City will receive care this summer through the Citywide Monuments Conservation Program (CMCP). CMCP has successfully worked since 1997 to preserve the City's cultural heritage, as well as provide professional training to graduate-level apprentices. CMCP is a public-private partnership.

The Folklore of Discworld (original 2008; edition 2008)

The Folklore of Discworld by Terry Pratchett (2008)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I was most interested in this because of a scene in Lords and Ladies where Nanny dings a bell and awakens a warrior. Who could that be? I spent the early part of the book wondering if he would ever get around to explaining that. And he did! The audibook ended with a discussion between the authors that was interesting and had the added attraction of Pratchett singing a couple of folksongs ... one of which I was able to chime in with: Pleasant and Delightful. So, in a way I got to sing with Terry Pratchett! Woot!
I was pleasantly surprised by this book "The Folklore of Discworld". I bought it only as a reference book to dip into from time to time. Having started, I read it from cover to cover and found it entertaining and informative. A really good read for discworld fans.
Definitely some interesting tidbits in this book that is really a set of essays. However, it lacks cohesion and proceeds from topic to topic. It is an interesting book but would have benefited from more cohesion. A fun take on the Discworld and folklore written in an interesting way.
Did you know there were so many different versions of these "well known and commonplace" folklores?
This book tries to be two things at once and fails at both.
On one hand it tries to be light and funny fare, and while it is indeed light and reads quickly, it is overly repetitive, rarely funny and fails to hold my interest.
On the other hand this book also tries to be a comprehensive overview of the folkloristic, mythological and cultural references in the Discworld books, but due to its structure and its constant switching between Discworld quotes and real-world counterpart it is annoying to use as a reference book.
So to conclude: although it contains some lines that will make you chuckle and some interesting facts you probably weren't aware of,The Folklore of Discworld, on the whole, is just not very interesting, nor very funny and therefore probably not worth your time unless you absolutely want to read everything written about Discworld.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385611005, Hardcover)Terry Pratchett joins up with a leading folklorist to reveal the legends, myths and customs of Discworld, together with helpful hints from Planet Earth.
Most of us grew up having always known when to touch wood or cross our fingers, and what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls a sword from a stone, yet sadly some of these things are beginning to be forgotten. Legends, myths, and fairy tales: our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves about where we came from and how we got here. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings, which on Earth are creatures of the imagination — like vampires, trolls, witches and, possibly, gods — are real, alive and, in some cases kicking, on the Disc.
In The Folklore of Discworld, Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected, celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely imaginative universe of Discworld.

I've been invited to the Palace this evening. Not the Palacio de Hierro (the famous department store), but the real deal… the Palacio Nacional … for a lecture on the Second Empire (Maximilian and Carlota's "Phantom Crown")… which makes it perfect to put up this rare photo by court photographer François Aubert… who stuck around after Max's execution (15 May 1867) for at least a month, when he photographed the Zocalo, dolled up for the celebration of Benito Juarez' formal return to the Capital. 40 more words

No one else will make your career happen
One of my core personal beliefs is that good work is rewarded. I spent the first part of my career believing that if I worked hard enough and produced results, my career would take care of itself. People notice productivity, and by producing a stand-out body of work, I would certainly be promoted. But what I have learned is that careers do not make themselves, and leaving your career to chance is the surest way to bewildered disappointment.
Is good work really noticed?
The first issue to tackle is whether good work is really noticed. It is absolutely true that most managers (and all good managers) notice the good work that their teams do. In most of high tech America, the span of control (number of people under one person's direct management) is somewhere between 4 and 10. With fewer than 10 direct reports, it is very easy to spot the standout work that A-players do. Even on a team of all standouts, it's not that hard to see truly great work.
But career advancement requires more than just direct management support.
Once you get past the bottom layers of the organizational hierarchy, promotions are generally handled by your manager's manager. A typical process might go something like this:
- Your boss's boss calls together her team to review performance.
- Each of her team members submits a few names for consideration.
- The room discusses the names, usually one-by-one.
- There is a lot of focused discussion on the top and bottom names.
- Next steps are identified.
- Champagne bottles open (or they don't).
The key in this process is that your career is discussed with more than just your boss. All of your boss's peers are part of the conversation.
Don't you just have to influence your boss's boss?
Actually, no. Imagine that the average span of control is 8 people. If your boss has 8 direct reports, and is himself one of 8 direct reports, then your boss's boss has 72 people in her organization. While it might be possible to track the accomplishments of 10 people, tracking everyone's contributions across an organization of 70+ people is not practical.
Sure, a couple of exceptional contributors will be well-known, but unless you are one of those two or three people, you end up fighting for attention with everyone else in the organization.
So who do you really need to influence?
The answer here is that you need your boss's peers to be aware of your good work. When that conversation of star performers comes up, you want other people to chime in on your boss's behalf. You can expect that your boss will do his best to represent you, but if there is no support in the room because people either don't agree or they don't know who you are, there is not much your boss can do.
In fact, in most of these discussions, the vast majority of the candidates are introduced to a room that is flat and disinterested. The person's manager goes through the details, but there is little engagement by anyone else. No one says no per say, but there isn't a yes either. The questions then devolve into time-in-role, whether the person is a flight risk, and what projects are coming up for the individual.
Once the room starts talking about the time since your last promotion, you are pretty much done. That only ends with a timeline. Once you have served your time, you can be promoted again.
How do you change the dialogue?
There are two things that you have to do if you really want to change the dialogue: build relationships and socialize your results.
When I say that you need to build relationships, I don't mean that you need to set up meetings. The workplace is already filled with a bunch of work transactions. Setting up a one-off sync meeting is a decent way to force a conversation around a specific topic, but it doesn't really forge a relationship that persists past the transaction.
You need to be aware of who you need to be connected to, and you need to diligently cultivate the relationships.
One woman at a previous employer did this masterfully. Once a week, she had lunch with people across the organization (typically her boss's peers). Every Wednesday for a couple of years, she would have lunch with someone. They would sit in the lunchroom and chat – about work, life, whatever. Over time, she would revisit the same people, effectively establishing a long-standing relationship with them.
Not surprisingly, when it was time to discuss promotions, she had tons of support. People knew who she was. They were personally connected to her career. And the lunchtime chats had afforded her the opportunity to highlight things she was working on and results she had delivered.
Treat your career with purpose
For many people in engineering roles, it feels a little bit icky to sell yourself. But try treating the problem like an engineering problem.
If (hard work) { if (invisible) { then (keep toiling unrecognized) } elseif (not invisible) { then (get recognized) } } then { (get promoted) } endif
The point here is that this woman had taken a hold of her own career and then driven it to the conclusion she wanted. You need to treat your own career with that kind of purpose. Assuming that good things will come is all fine and good, but you are actually doing yourself a disservice. Oddly enough, you might even be doing your company a disservice, as the best people might not be ascending as they need to be.

To move from development into management, you have to show a couple of things:
- A solid understanding of your development craft (it is difficult to move up if you are not at least proficient in your current role)
- Awareness of the organizational and business challenges of the roles above you (if you don't show understanding of how the business works, it's hard to move up)
- Leadership skills (communication, initiative, and ambition)
Assuming you can do this, then there are a few practical things to help move up. First, find a mentor somewhere above you either in your immediate organization or in another organization that works alongside yours. This is the single most important thing to do. Not only do you develop your skills, but you get a champion who will be vocal on your behalf as you come up for reviews.
Second, you need to devote time to honing your leadership skills. You would be amazed what power there is in talking about leadership topics and business books with your boss. Go and read Daniel Pink's book Drive, and then Dan and Chip Heath's book Switch. Talk about these with your management chain. That you are learning will not go unnoticed.
Third, volunteer for projects that have tend to be a little less sexy. Documenting onboarding processes, providing pointers to architecture, streamlining the bug triage process... these are all impactful, and they tend to get neglected. Doing things that make others more productive gets noticed, and when there are no expectations to get them done, you will by default exceed expectations.
Finally, make sure you are talking to your manager weekly. You should talk about your career. Talk about where you want to be better. Make sure you get feedback. The act of asking for feedback also shows that you are interested in being a stronger employee. This gets noticed.
There are obviously a lot more things to do. I tend to blog on career topics on my Plexxi blog every Tuesday. Swing by www.plexxi.com and look at the Tuesday posts for a bunch of pointers. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are reserved for more technical and strategic posts.
Good luck!

This idea of Developer promotion being moving from Development to management is dubious; they are two different roles, and which can require completely different skills, and a migration compatible mindset and personality.
Developers can often be Introverts who don't network so easily, and managers can have to be or act as Extroverts which can be exhausting and stressful for introverts, so possibly less happy people if 'promoted' to this role.
There really needs to be a career progression path for Developers which does not require management biased roles, at most bridging roles e.g. I have an Introvert Engineering mindset, and find management tasks an annoying distraction, but I do try and bridge a little to make up for a limited number of bridging staff, and the resulting costly corner cutting.
Mike Bushong replied on Wed, 2014/05/14 - 5:59pm in response to: Raging Infernoz
I certainly agree that not every developer wants to be a manager, and that being a great developer does not necessarily translate into being a good manager.
For those that want to make the transition, the point is that you have to show prowess outside your development skills. For many engineers, leadership is a soft skill that borders on common sense. Because it is intellectually easy to understand, people frequently underestimate the amount of time it takes to hone those skills. If moving into leadership roles is important to you (for whatever reason), you have to treat these skills with a bit more focus.
If I told you that you could get promoted if you learned Ruby, you would buy a book, write a Hello World program, and then practice. Leadership is no different. You have to learn it, put it into basic use, and then practice.

REGINA - Health officials in Saskatchewan are urging parents to have their children vaccinated after word of three probable measles cases in unimmunized youngsters.
The Prairie North Health Region, which covers the cities of Lloydminster and North Battleford, is reporting the probable illnesses in addition to one confirmed case in an unimmunized child.
Chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab says Saskatchewan's current childhood vaccination rate is not high enough to prevent outbreaks.
"The biggest thing that can prevent outbreaks of measles is up-to-date immunizations in children," Shahab said at a news conference Thursday.
He said parents need to ensure their children have two doses of measles vaccine by age two.
Saskatchewan Health reports 89 per cent of children have had their first measles vaccination by the age of two and 75 per cent of children have had their second dose by that time.
"One dose gives 95 per cent protection and two doses gives 99 per cent protection," Shahab explained. "So if there are children in a day care and everyone just got one dose ... that day care will still have an outbreak."
Children usually get the first vaccine when they're a year old, but Shahab said it can be given earlier if kids are travelling to Alberta where a measles outbreak has been declared.
"That is now possible that if you're (going) to Alberta you can get an earlier dose ... if you have a child aged six to 12 months."
Saskatchewan has reported 12 confirmed and three probable cases this year.

RBC lowers GDP forecast for province
The Royal Bank has tempered its enthusiasm about Manitoba's economic growth prospects for this year and 2013.
In its latest quarterly forecast released today, RBC Economics predicts Manitoba will post real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.9 per cent for this year and 3.0 per cent for 2013.
That's down slightly from its previous forecast issued in September. At that time, it was predicting growth of 3.3 per cent for this year and 3.2 per cent for 2013.
The bank said the downward revision for 2012 was partly due to a smaller than expected canola crop last fall.
It said a 17 per cent increase in agricultural output was one of the main reason's for this year's strong overall performance. And while that will be followed by more modest growth of four per cent for that sector in 2013, the bank said the province's manufacturing sector should help pick up the slack with an increase in sales of buses and aerospace equipment to the United States.

To freshen up the mantel, design coordinator Charles Burbridge creates a new one to fit over the existing slate mantel.
Wicker furniture from a thrift shop gets a new lease on life with a simple repair job from Burbridge, using supplies from a wicker-supply store. Also, Snijders gives the pieces a coat of black paint for a contemporary twist on traditional painted wicker.
How-To: Wicker Furniture Refurbish
- First, soak a bundle of caning in warm water for at least 15 minutes.
- Next, cut a length that will fill the exposed area. Make sure to cut off more than you think you need.
- Lay the caning in lengthwise from top to bottom and then wrap the area from bottom to top.
- Once the area is filled, leave a couple of extra inches of caning to tuck in behind the wrapped portion.
- As the caning dries it will tighten and will not be noticeable after the piece is painted.

Leibovitz buys back copyright to her photosNEW YORK - Annie Leibovitz has won an extension on a $24 million loan in a financial dispute that threatened her rights to her famous images, the two sides said in a joint statement Friday. Leibovitz and the company, Art Capital Group, said the 59-year-old photographer had been given more time to repay the loan. The loan's deadline passed Tuesday, but both parties had continued to work to try to resolve the dispute. Neither party would specify the length of the extension. 'In these challenging times I am appreciative to Art Capital for all they have done to resolve this matter and for their cooperation and continued support,' Leibovitz said in the statement. Last year, Leibovitz put up as collateral three Manhattan townhouses, an upstate New York property and the copyright to every picture she has ever taken - or will take - to secure the loan. Ark. man missing for five years nabbed at airport BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - An Arkansas man suspected of faking his death on the Mississippi coast five years ago to avoid paying court-ordered restitution was arrested at a small Alabama airport where FAA records show he was the manager. People around the Bibb County Airport at Centreville knew a man called Chris Sullivan who often worked around the field. Authorities said Sullivan really was Timothy Dehart, 38, of Paragould, Ark., who mysteriously vanished in 2004. Officers placed the airport under surveillance after receiving a tip that Dehart was there, U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said Friday. Man accused of killing protester, gravel pit owner OWOSSO, Mich. - A man fatally shot an anti-abortion activist near a Michigan high school Friday, drove to a gravel pit and shot its owner to death and planned to kill a third man, but was arrested before he could act, a prosecutor said. Harlan James Drake, 33, was charged Friday with first-degree murder in the deaths of James Pouillon, 63, and Mike Fuoss, 61, Shiawassee County Prosecutor Randy Colbry said 'The defendant had ill will toward these three individuals - not for the same reason necessarily, but had a grudge,' Colbry said. Before classes were to begin Friday, Pouillon was protesting across the street from Owosso High School about 70 miles northwest of Detroit. Drake then drove by the school and shot Pouillon several times in front of horrified students and parents, officials said. After Drake left the school, he drove seven miles to the Fuoss Gravel Co. where he gunned down Fuoss in his office, authorities said. The two men knew each other, but officials didn't say how. Ark. baby born 9-9-09 has sibling born on 8-8-08 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - At least it will be easy to remember their birthdays. An Arkansas couple welcomed a new baby girl into their lives Wednesday - giving her the birthdate of 9-9-09. Andy and Alison Miller's newest daughter Molly Reid will come home to sister Campbell, who was born on Aug. 8, 2008, or 8-8-08. The coincidences don't stop there. Molly Reid has nine letters to her name, while Campbell has eight. Yale offers reward in student's disappearance NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Investigators searching for a Yale graduate student who disappeared days before her wedding reviewed security-camera footage and checked the blueprints of the building where she was last seen as the university offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts. More than 100 local, state and federal law enforcement personnel were involved in the investigation into Tuesday's disappearance of Annie Le, said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy. Investigators were examining footage from some 75 cameras on and around the building where Le was last spotted. They did not immediately find any footage of her leaving the building. Three guilty pleas expected in Mo. in dogfighting case ST. LOUIS - At least three eastern Missouri men arrested in a federal crackdown on illegal dogfighting are expected to plead guilty next week in federal court. Documents filed in the case and interviews with the men's attorneys confirm Robert Hackman of Foley, Teddy Kiriakidis of Leasburg and Ronald Creach of Leslie will plead guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis.

Darth Zannah - The Art of Deception - Chapter 3Star WarsDarth ZannahThe Art of DeceptionBy JAM4077(Based off of the Darth Bane Trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn.)Chapter 3Czerka Arms was one of the longest lasting businesses in the known galaxy, going back centuries before the Jedi Civil War. It had developed a bad reputation over those centuries. It was so bad that the mention of Czerka name would cause a Wookiee to rip a man's arm out of his sockets because of Czerka attempt to enslave the Wookiee population on Kashyyyk during the Jedi Civil War. Of course, the Wookiees did the same thing when they lost a game according to a few rumors here and there.Of course, Czerka had rubbed shoulders the wrong way with other people before and since then. During some time between the end of the Jedi Civil War and the New Sith War, Czerka changed its name from Corporation to Arms to disassociate itself from its dark past, selling weapons such as rifles and pistols and battle droids during the New Sith War. Some say that Czerka Arms sold w

She would be at her mansion, which stood a few miles from Daplona, either training Cognus or searching through her library of Sith Knowledge to learn either new tricks to try or, possibly, learn the location of other Sith tumes, journals, or holocrons that hadn't been discovered by the Jedi Order. But here was Zannah, under her disguise as Allia Omek, listening to other senators from around the planet, bickering and complain about the recent bombings taking place at several key locations, such as factories, local markets, and local government buildings, around Ciutric IV.It was the sa

Raven Lore, a young man in his mid-30s, with black hair that looked like it hadn't been cut in months, tossed and turned in his bed as the images continued to flood into his mind. He even felt the pain the woman was experiencing from time to time. The woman seemed to be fighting a shadow into the shape of a bald, muscular giant, the match between them seemed even. But soon the giant got weaker and weaker, allowing the blonde hair woman to defeat the giant once and for all. However, the fight left the woman exhausted and carrying a small part of the giant within her being.The images in Raven's mind weren't unfamiliar to the human from the isolated world of Naboo.

Cognus didn't say a word as Zannah went in great detail on what beings were in this new Brotherhood of Darkness, the Zabrak named Doz Brum, a strong presence of the dark side inside the room where Khan and Tortor went into. The sense of worry she felt within Tortor when he and Khan had returned for their meeting, but offering no explanation on what had transpired."I think I might know what troubles the Twi'lek," informed Cognus. Zannah gave her apprentice a questionable look. "While you were gone, the Senator of this world called and said that the Supreme Chancellor has dispatched some of the Jedi to come here to find those responsible for the bombings and protect you and the remaining senators in the governme

He hung the saber's handle on his belt and looked at his victims, who were nursing their wounds. Jaina Draco, a human female with long flowing brown hair, pointed ears, and bright emerald green eyes, stood over Ben Skywalker II, a human man with short red hair with a crossed shape scar on his left cheek and cousin and padawan to Jaina, healing the wound that took his sword arm. Ben bit his lip, holding back the pain he was feeling. He tries to get up, but Jaina kept him down knowing that he wouldn't be a match for Kontar with just one hand.Kontar admired Ben's courage for wanting to continue the fight. He expect

Unfortunately for Zannah, she had another arrangement to attend. In the following morning, Zannah was to attend Heather's wedding and there was no backing out of it. Zannah was Heather's maid of honor.Zannah left the mansion in the early part of the morning in landspeeder taxi, leaving Cognus to study certain manuscripts that belonged to other Sith Lords or were written by Darth Bane. As the landspeeder took her the place where the wedding was to take place, Zannah poured herself into the plans of Exar Kun's double-bladed lightsaber. Some of the functions of Kun

Darth Zannah, the Dark Lord of the Sith, stood on the stone floor the lightsaber training arena of the Sith Academy that had once belonged to the Brotherhood of Darkness. She had her unnatural yellow eyes closes, sniffing the air and moisture from the coming storm, and savoring the pain and suffering from the battle she had just fought.Khan's body lay on the stone floor. The Zeltron's red skin blistered and burned thanks to the storm of Sith lightning that Zannah had unleashed upon her foe. The lightning and the thunder suddenly grew in intensity and strength.

To their surprise, there was a small envelope at base of main door with "Allie Omak" written on it. That was faster than I expected, Zannah thought.Zannah picked up the envelope and pulled a small note from it. Cognus pulled out her newly constructed lightsaber from a bag that was attached to her belt and ignited the saber's crimson blade. The handle of Cognus' lightsaber was slightly curved to keep the familiar feel that Cognus had grown accustom to by using the hook-handled lightsaber that had once belonged to Darth Bane. This slight curving was made thanks to the lightsaber being encased into the tooth a rancor. At the pommel end of the handle was small vibroblade, which made the lightsaber look like a dagger.The crimson light from Cognus' blad
