The Path of Destiny
Chapter 53 Meetings
It was decided, after Snowcrystal and Spark revealed everything that Nightcloud had said, that they would go to the library in the evening to see what the mightyena had to say. What they would do afterward, no one was quite sure yet. Most of the pokémon were very willing to sneak in to take a look at the books hidden in secret, and so were Justin and Damian, but Katie was unsure. It was morning now, and as soon as Justin and Katie returned from the trainers hotel, they began discussing the matter once again.
Well, Snowcrystal did manage to sneak in there once, Justin stated. I guess it wouldnt be too hard.
There were still people in the building when Snowcrystal was there, Katie replied, obviously remembering Snowcrystal talking about the time when a human had chased her in the library. Therell probably still be janitors, or other workers and that had to have been before they closed it down for the night they must have alarms, or or some other type of security system
Maybe we could find a place to hide in there until late at night, Justin suggested. Then we could open a window if we needed one of the wild pokémons help, or just use our own pokémon, or-
Katie sighed. I I dont like the idea of sneaking around the library at night. We should at least try and explain things
Whos going to believe you? Justin told her with a glare. From what that mightyena said, theres no way theyd let us-
I really think we could pull it off, Damian began, if we-
Look, Justin, Katie told him, cutting Damian off. We shouldnt sneak around the library unless we have to, she added with a sigh. We should try and explain things first. Maybe theyll let us look at the books.
I dont see why youre so worried, Justin muttered. Weve got pokémon! We were in that library almost every day for weeks. The only cameras they had were at the front where you first walk in the doors. They seem to only care about people trying to steal books while theyre walking in and out of the front doors all day
If what the mightyena said was true, Katie said with a glare. The place with these rare books has got to have some sort of protection. Do you really think it wouldnt? And you dont know for sure that the library doesnt have any other ways of catching intruders. Its one of the biggest, oldest, and most renowned buildings in the
Inari region. Surely it cant be easy to just-
Why dont we wait until the mightyena tells us more about it? Justin asked. Her trainer works there, so she should know what happens at night.
Why dont we just try
to them? Katie retorted. Well figure out what to do after that.
We should all go today, Damian said before Justin could reply, picking up his backpack. If Katie wants to, we could try talking to all the workers we see in the library, and-
What about the pokémon? Katie asked. Should we just leave the wild ones here?
I guess so, Damian replied.
Rosie growled. Im tired of waiting around here! she shouted.
Yeah! agreed Inferno with a shake of his yellow mane. Why dont we go and battle?
The rest of the pokémon murmured something in agreement at the flareons words, but they didnt loudly protest. As tired as they were of being stuck in one place, they knew that what the trainers were doing was important.
Last night, they had moved their camp to a different area further away from the city, after the wild pokémon had spotted a couple of trainers close by and became nervous. Their new camp was a small, rocky ravine with little plant life, and though it seemed more hidden and therefore safer, most of the pokémon didnt like it.
Snowcrystal sighed as she glanced along the dusty walls of the ravine that sloped gently upward, gently enough for even small pokémon to climb with ease, but high enough that they wouldnt be noticed from a distance. They had chosen this spot for that reason; it was hidden enough that trainers wouldnt be able to see there was anyone sheltering here unless they were close, and they were far enough from the city that it didnt seem to be an issue; most humans didnt venture past Stonedust in that direction at all. At first, moving to a new camp had seemed like a welcome change of pace, but now that they were there, the light brown boulders and dusty walls surrounded by a flat rocky plain were bleak and uninviting.
I want to go to the city, Alex sighed in frustration as she drew patterns with her claws in the dust. I hate it here.
This time, many of the other pokémon were more vocal in stating their agreement, some asking Arien if they could go with the humans to the library. Damian, who obviously knew what they were talking about through his link with the psychic pokémon, looked thoughtful. I know! he said in a cheery voice. I know what to do! I cant believe I didnt think of it before!
What? Justin asked, looking excited. You know how we can get the books from the library?
No, not that, Damian replied, not noticing the disappointed, disapproving look Justin gave him afterward. I know where the pokémon could go for the day! The Pokémon Park!
Damian thats not for wild pokémon, Katie pointed out. Thats why we didnt use it before.
Nobody has to know! he replied. Theyll behave themselves. Trainers drop pokémon off there all the time. There are always trainers watching in case any trouble happens, and the people who work there will make sure the pokémon are safe! He turned to the pokémon, who were looking at him with either interest or boredom. Who wants to go to the park? he asked them.
Several of the pokémon gave excited cries. Snowcrystal had no idea what a park was, but she knew that whatever it was, it had to be better than the place they were resting in now. To her surprise, Nightshade also looked eager to go.
Damian, I dont think this is a good idea Katie began.
Itll be fine, Justin shrugged. Just let them know they cant eat any pokémon there and it will be okay.
Dont worry, Katie, Damian assured her in a calm voice. We can leave some of our pokémon there with them. Theyve been there before. Theyll look after them.
Okay, Katie sighed. But youre going to be the ones answering to the park workers if something goes wrong.
After being absolutely sure that Snowcrystals orange growlithe markings were spot-on, the three trainers and the wild pokémon who had decided to go to the park-Snowcrystal, Wildflame, Alex, Nightshade, and Redclaw-headed toward the facility. Snowcrystal had never been to this area of the city before, and when she saw the park itself, she was amazed.
The Pokémon Park sat in the center of a wide ring of buildings, an absolutely huge grassy field littered with large boulders and several strange structures which many pokémon were climbing on. There was a vast pool to one side, where she could see water pokémon playing. There were also many trees, which pokémon were climbing or running around cheerfully.
She was still staring at it in awe when Damian and the others approached the part of the large gate where the entrance was. Snowcrystal figured that the gate was more there to look nice than to serve any sort of function, because she was sure pretty much any pokémon could find a way over, under, or through it.
Wed like to let these pokémon in, Damian explained, gesturing toward the five wild pokémon who had followed them on their journey. And a few others, we-
The person sitting at a table set out at the entrance looked over the edge of the book she was reading and at the pokémon until her gaze rested on Nightshade. It took Snowcrystal a moment to realize that she must have noticed his limp. Well the strange human began in a monotone voice, picking up a small sheet of paper lying on the desk and staring at it. If your pokémon is injured, you need a note from the pokémon center before entering the Poké Park. You should also-
Hell be fine, Katie said after a quick worried glance at Damian. He just wants to climb the trees. Hell stay up in one the whole time. He wont get himself injured worse. Could he just-
Sure, whatever, the human said carelessly with a shrug. She threw the paper back down on the table and went back to reading her book. Just send out the pokémon you want, and if youre leaving, please sign here and tell us when youre coming back She slid another paper toward Damian, who began writing something on it with a pen from a cup on the edge of the table. The worker human droned on. Your pokémon are not allowed to take food out of the Poké Park. Your pokémon are not allowed to attack or eat other trainers pokémon. Dont abandon your pokémon at the Poké Park. Ill-behaved pokémon will be kicked out and forced to wait in the park building for your return oh, just read the rules over there, she muttered in an annoyed voice, pointing to a sign.
None of the trainers bothered with reading the rules-Snowcrystal assumed they knew them already-and the human working there didnt seem to care. Katie sent out her azumarill and shinx, Justin sent out Spark, and after Damian finished signing, he sent out Todd, Inferno, and Scytheclaw.
Uh Katie began, staring after the scizor as he walked through the gate after the other pokémon had excitedly ran through it, but instead of finishing her sentence, she just shook her head and sighed, muttering, Lets go.
Snowcrystal turned to watch the humans leave, when the voice of the book reading human made her jump. Hey, puppy, she muttered, waving a rolled up piece of paper at her, either get in or leave.
Nervously, Snowcrystal followed the others, seething.
I am not a puppy!
As she walked through the gate, she noticed a few pokémon with blue collars patrolling the edges of the gate and watching the playing pokémon carefully. She thought they must be there to make sure the other pokémon behaved. She glanced at one, a tall mienshao who was watching near the gate, and he returned her glance before nodding toward the open field her friends were heading. She hurried to follow them.
As Scytheclaw veered off from the others toward one of the areas with trees, Snowcrystal caught up with the rest of the group. So what are we supposed to do here? she asked. Do we just do what we want? She looked at the other pokémon cluelessly.
Look at this! Spark cried in delight. Food! He bolted over toward a group of small stands that held containers full of pokémon food. He wasted no time in shoving his head into one of them and gulping down as many of the brown pellets as he could.
Uh thats nice, Snowcrystal replied. She had never completely gotten used to human food. She turned to look around, wondering what area to explore first.
Im going to go over toward those trees, Nightshade told the others, a hint of sadness in his voice. When he was sure they had heard him, he turned and limped off toward the nearest tree group.
Hey, Spark! Look at this! Alex cried in excitement, pointing toward a strange construction that had several large tires hanging from ropes. A group of pichu were swinging back and forth on the nearest one, squealing excitedly. Without waiting for an answer, Alex bounded over toward the tires. Katies azumarill and shinx glanced at each other and followed.
Inferno looked around at the remaining pokémon. I think we can trust you guys to do what youre told. Go wherever you want. Just dont fight, be kind and respectful, dont leave the Poké Park, and youll be fine. He and Todd then gave excited yells and bounded off toward one of the play structures.
Well Wildflame muttered in annoyed voice. So much for showing us around.
Well, that means we get to explore the place, Redclaw replied.
Great, Wildflame grumbled unenthusiastically.
Spark walked over to them, licking food crumbs from his mouth. Do you think Id get in trouble if I zapped the pokémon in the pool? he asked mischievously.
Redclaw gave him a cold stare. Dont try it.
I was only joking!
Well, Wildflame began. Im going to go over there. She angled her head toward a group of boulders. Ill see the rest of you later.
All right! Spark called back, before turning and running toward where Alex was swinging on one of the tires, nearly knocking over a baby squirtle in the process.
Snowcrystal looked at Redclaw. The arcanine sighed. If its all right with you, I want to take a short nap first, he said tiredly. Ill come and find you when I wake up if you want.
All right, Snowcrystal replied. Ill be fine by myself.
She left Redclaw as the arcanine went to find a place to sleep and headed toward the tree covered side of the park. Up close, she realized that there werent as many trees as she had first thought, just several big ones for pokémon to climb on. It seemed a bit more inviting than a real forest. She couldnt see any snow covered place in the park, and the only ice type she saw was a glaceon who seemed to be in a race that involved leaping across boulders with a couple of other eevee evolutions. She also noticed, for the first time, that there were a few trainers here, playing and interacting with their pokémon and any random pokémon who happened to pass their way wanting human attention.
She headed toward a place near the trees which seemed to have the biggest collection of boulders, for that reminded her most of her home. As she walked, she heard a human shout toward her.
Hey, look at that growlithe!
She froze, and then slowly glanced down at her fur, but it still looked convincingly orange. She turned around to see two young male trainers. One of them was pointing at her.
Its really small, isnt it? the other trainer asked. Snowcrystal relaxed a bit.
Yeah the first one said, narrowing his eyes at her, not in a hostile way, but merely a curious one. Wonder why her trainer didnt get a quality one bred
She started to walk away from them, and barely heard another trainer beginning to argue with the two that it didnt matter where a trainer got their pokémon from. As their voices faded away, she wondered if this was what Nightshade had talked about, about many of the humans in Stonedust City wanting pokémon from breeders. It wasnt of much concern to her, but it still struck her as a bit strange.
She still hadnt reached the clump of rocks when another trainers conversation reached her ears, but this time it wasnt about her.
as usual there are eevees everywhere, one of them was saying. Snowcrystal stopped to listen, not sure why, but thinking of Spark as the humans continued talking.
Pretty much every trainer has them now, the trainers friend agreed.
And theyre breeding so many of them that theres still some on the streets. Of course, most of them get picked up by trainers, but its still a nuisance. Some of the breeding centers simply produce too many.
Humans breed pokémon without knowing if theyll be wanted?
Snowcrystal thought, bemused. Of course, she didnt know much about how humans bred pokémon at all. Damian had told her that some trainers raised their pokémons offspring and found new trainers for them, but this sounded like something different. Something more like whatever Nightshade had hinted at when shed talked to him. Spark had told her a little while ago that he had come from a breeding center, and that Justin picked him out himself. He had told her that the center hed come from had been nice and eevee who werent picked out were sent to pleasant pokémon ranches, and she wondered if there were other centers that werent so nice. If anything, she thought, those two humans should be focusing on trying to stop the humans who were abandoning eevee in the streets. They were humans themselves, so why didnt they do something?
Quickly losing interest in the trainers conversation, she headed on toward the rocks. Upon reaching them, she noticed that the area was a lot bigger than shed thought it was. There were several groups of pokémon here. She spotted a graveler talking to a gloom by one rock close to her, and a few marill hopping about on another. And beyond them was Scytheclaw.
Snowcrystal stopped in her tracks. She hadnt expected to find the scizor here, and she knew he probably wouldnt want to see her around. After a moments hesitation, she decided to stay, but to keep her distance from him.
Snowcrystal spent the next few minutes climbing about on the rocks. Some of the pokémon stopped what they were doing to watch, some congratulating her and telling her theyd never seen a growlithe jump like she did. She enjoyed the attention; it was nice to not have to hide all the time, but soon she grew tired of it, and she climbed down and began idly walking among the rest of the boulders, watching the other pokémon.
As she wandered, she noticed Scytheclaw again, standing beside a boulder not far from where she was. She was about to head in the opposite direction, when she noticed he was looking at another trainer. Standing beside the trainer was another scizor. This scizor was a female, and unlike Scytheclaw, she looked healthy and well groomed. Scytheclaw was looking at her warily, and when her trainer walked away toward where a lucario, presumably one of his other pokémon, was sitting, Scytheclaw approached her.
Now that Snowcrystal could see Scytheclaw compared to another scizor, the only other scizor shed ever seen, she noticed that he looked a bit different. He was a somewhat darker red than the other scizor, who certainly didnt have that odd sharp looking edge on the insides of her pincers. She had known that Scytheclaw was different in that respect; he would often spend hours a day making the inside edges of his pincers as sharp as he could.

How to leave your Domestic Violence Relationship? You can't afford to miss this
in Family
Domestic Violence
Drawing on theory from the literature on close relationships and on stress and coping, this study examines the ways women cope with physical and emotional abuse while remaining with abusive partners. 130 women (22–67 yrs old) who had experienced conflict and violence in a close relationship with a man completed questionnaires assessing characteristics of the abuse, positive aspects of the relationship, the use of downward comparisons, and attributions for positive behaviors and for the abuse. 44 women (34.4%) were still involved in the abusive relationship; 86 (65.6%) were no longer involved with their abusive partner. Results of discriminant function analysis suggest that women who remain with abusive partners employ cognitive strategies that help them perceive the relationship in a positive light. For women still involved with their abusive partner this positive relationship appraisal is unrelated to whether or not they have left their partners in the past. Moreover, it is unrelated to the frequency of moderate or severe physical abuse, but appears less likely the more frequently verbal abuse is experienced. Also, women still involved with their abusive partners are not differentiated from those no longer involved in terms of their level of psychosocial adjustment

How do our words affect others and our practice?
Late last year, I posted an article titled, "What are we looking for?" in which I asked how our expectations of process outcomes influence our practice. Recently, I started thinking about this again but in relation to the language we use to describe restorative justice and restorative programmes. Specifically, I'm wondering if the descriptors that we use affect the way we communicate with clients and facilitate a process.

The restorative justice talking piece: Tangible and physical, abstract and soulful.
from Kris Miner's entry on Restorative Justice & Circles:
I used the above quote on a little pamphlet I made for student leaders. Yesterday I pulled it out to add the quote to a powerpoint I was working on. The evening before I was in a really powerful transformative Circle. As I looked at the quote again I realized how powerful the talking piece really is.
It's a core element of a Circle, with a capital C, in my opinion. I know we can seat people in a circle facing each other, but Kay Pranis in all three of her books, lists the talking piece as an element of a Restorative Justice Circle.
Making progress in restorative justice: A qualitative study
from the abstract of a thesis by John R. Bacon:
This is an exploratory study into how restorative justice (RJ) facilitators made progress before and during a RJ conference. It draws specifically on the experiences of Justice Research Consortium (JRC) facilitators who participated in one of three Home Office funded trials between 2001-4, and the only trial to employ a randomized control design based on the RJ conference model. Qualitative data was collected via focus group meetings and individual interviews.

Creating rules or creating values, the difference in a restorative classroom
from Kris Miner's post on Restorative Justice and Circles:
....Rules can be what student do when the teacher is watching. Values are ways of behaving, knowing what we should be doing, versus behaving in a way we want to, or even have to. You've got to put the motivation for behavior on the INSIDE. You need a shared concept of community in a classroom. INSIDE that little community is shared concepts of treating each other. INSIDE those little people in the class, you instill the values for behavior.

Who knew you could gain staff and lose ground, two crucial time management tips!
from Kris Miner's entry on Restorative Justice and Circles:
I've had more staff around me in the last 3 months, than the last 3 years! I worked solo (with the help of MANY great volunteers) or had one other person employed at SCVRJP. The last few months have included 2 staff and an intern. Great dedicated helpful people.
Yet I feel like I have lost my footing, the ground under me has slid away. I'm disorganized, missing appointments, finishing tasks just under the wire. WHAT? From the woman who was running the entire show!? It's not like I haven't delegated, believe me I've delegated. One of my coworkers pointed out she can't complete certain project, because of the assignments I add-on each day.
Realize that despite your skills, connections, talents and abilities, if you fail at managing your tasks or your time, you can fail in general.

The fun in social justice
from Isabella Mori's entry on change therapy:
once again, northern voice, vancouver's annual blogging and social media conference, was a lot of fun. two inspiring sessions were about making a difference in the world: one about doing good by darren barefoot, and another about social media and social justice by ajay masala puri and jeremy osborn. the one about social justice, which took place outside in the grass on a beautiful sunny afternoon, challenged all participants to commit to doing one thing towards social justice.
....as i was thinking about a possible commitment it occurred to me that while i do dedicate a good of amount of my time and some of my money to social justice, there are moments when the term seems a bit heavy, maybe a little too serious. that's how i came up with the commitment of looking at the fun side of social justice. fun is important for me; fun sustains me. it makes sense, then, to invest something in the fun side of this – it'll keep my interest in social justice going! so here are a few thoughts on the fun part of social justice.

DIWANIYAH, Iraq — Iraqi authorities uncovered a mass grave with 900 corpses near the central city of Diwaniyah on Wednesday, believed to be Kurds killed during the rule of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein, an official said.
The corpses were found in the Shanafiya region, 70 kilometres (45 miles) west of Diwaniyah.
"The corpses were buried in a trench. There were 900 bodies," said Dakhil Saihoud, provincial head of the Justice and Accountability Commission which investigates issues related to Saddam's regime.
"Initial indications show the remains are those of Kurds. They were transferred to laboratories in the city of Najaf to help in identification," Saihoud said. He said the corpses apparently dated back to the 1980s.
Last April, authorities said they had found another mass grave in Anbar province of western Iraq containing the bodies of more than 800 people, including women and children, executed during Saddam's regime.
During Iraq's 1980-1988 war with Iran, deserters were executed and the Sunni Arab dictator intensified a crackdown on Shiites suspected of sympathising with Iraq's predominantly Shiite neighbour.
Kurds were persecuted because they were the main opposition to Saddam.
The number of people missing as a result of atrocities committed by Saddam, who came to power in 1979, is estimated at anywhere between 300,000 and 1.3 million, according to various sources.
Human rights groups believe there are hundreds of mass graves in Iraq of people killed during Saddam's rule.
Shortly after the 2003 invasion, the US-led coalition said there were 263 mass reported graves of people executed in Iraq under Saddam, including 40 containing evidence of systematic killings.

Alonso looking forward to discovering the 'new Formula 1″
Fernando Alonso says he is looking forward to discovering the 'new Formula 1″ following the launch of his 2014 car, the Ferrari F14 T, today. The Spaniard is hoping that he can take his first world title for the Scuderia at his fifth attempt, which is something that former Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher previously achieved in 2000. 'Schumacher won in his fifth year with Ferrari,' he said. 'I'm in my fifth year now, so hopefully I can repeat some of the success that he had. Obviously in the last four years, we had some opportunities – especially in 2010 and 2012 – to win the championship, so this year we will try again and hopefully it will be the good one.'

This morning we set off for a little beach just outside Chania for a few hours of relaxation before a late lunch at Johnny's aunt's house.

Men have told us what the number one thing that keeps them from asking out a girl that they like. Want to know what that is? Keep reading.
We have the answer you've been seeking. And, the good news is that the solution is something any woman can do.
Number One Thing He Needs You to Do So He Will Ask You Out
It is painful when you know a guy likes you and won't ask you out. It can feel like there is never going to be another guy for you.
Here's a story from a woman in your shoes before she had the formula we're going to share with you below.
"We worked together. At first I wasn't attracted to him, but as I got to know him he grew on me.
He was so tall and strong and successful that he became sexier by the minute.
He always showed up when I visited his offices. It's like he knew I was in the building and would make a special appearance just to see me. We were so connected that if he walked in the room and I had my back turned, I would know he was there.
I did whatever I could to be around him. I started learning everything I could about him and becoming friends with the people in his life. This led to me fantasizing about my future with him.
I just couldn't stop thinking about him and trying to figure out how to get him to make a move.
Why won't he ask me out?
People around us noticed and started to comment on what a cute couple we would make and how he obviously liked me.
After a few years of flirtations and hope, I had to give up my dream of a future with Mr. Perfect. He would just never ask me out or make a move. "
Ladies, do not go another minute without the secret to getting him to ask you out if he likes you.
We talked to many men of all ages to get this solution for you.
The number one answer to your question "I know he likes me…so why won't he ask me out?" is that he is not getting clear signals that you are open to his taking your relationship from friends or acquaintances to something more.
Men don't want to be rejected.
If you want a man to ask you out, send clear signals that he won't be rejected.
Why Won't He Ask Me Out? How to Send Clear Signals That He Won't Be Rejected:
1. Speak Up – He wants to know you like him and not just what you were doing together. You can say something like…"Hanging out with you is fun. You always make me laugh!"
2. Initiate Contact – This does not mean ask him out. Instead of just waiting for him to contact you all the time you can send a text message or email saying "hey what's up" and you can also say something like…"Can't wait to see you again." Almost every guy we talked to brought this up.
3. Show Him You Get Him – Listen to him. Don't take cell phone calls or text your friends when you're with him. Pause 30 seconds each time he stops talking to see if he wants to say more. Listen to what is important to him and let him know you appreciate that about him. You can say something like…"It's so great spending time with you. I appreciate that you are smart, funny and such a good guy!"
4. Get Your Sexy On – Smile, Make Eye Contact & Touch Him. Be relaxed and flash those pearly whites when you're with him. When you speak with him, don't look away. Hold your gaze a little longer than feels comfortable. Reach out and put your hand on his arm when you talk to him. Men love when women use these signals to green light you are interested in more.
5. Be Bold – if you want to get an answer quickly you can make a bold statement to get straight to the point. Some of our guys loved this idea. You can say something like…"If you ever thought about asking me out, I would say yes." If he says he just wants to be friends you can easily recover by saying something like…"That's cool, I was just checking. Now don't get all weird on me. We don't want to mess up being friends just because I thought about you that way for a minute."

Hercules Torrent
Hercules Torrent
If this weren't enough the director Brett Ratner, Ian McShane looks to possess engineered, victimization its renowned scenes in picture in action sequences, with those significant audio recording within the background. throughout the narrative of Hercules Torrent it's employed in an endeavor to intensify the drama of the plot. It becomes nearly not possible, before disaster strikes the solid, at numerous times, we have a tendency to feel before a Mexican serial, the foremost canastronas (and still has individuals talking unwell of national films).
In addition to speak of laptop graphics? in a very film that seeks to indicate greatness, you'll not place a scene like that lion, created "very badly" in digital type and realize that everybody can pass (It's pathetic). and therefore the eventualities that arise stunning and marvellous out of nothing, find it irresistible was all an enormous fairy tale? (Even fairytales, would like alittle of consistency).
And the makeup job? Passing is twenty years previous and folks get you establish here for sure wished to rival the Globo soap operas, to check World Health Organization gets the (worst) result, and i will say the shorts is tough (laughs).
Before last it's price mentioning the overuse and infrequently pointless 3D. Ok, the audience of the film ar fans of long action, preferring sequences of pure internal secretion intelligent dialogues thus "abuse" of the 3D effects, it is sensible, however even for that, it's necessary to possess consistency. within the film in nearly each scene has 3D effects in many of them is to chill the interaction with the general public. except for example, a scene within which Hercules Torrent and Greek deity kiss within the lake, suddenly starts to fall a kind of snow, larger detail is that the sun (how so?). however to admit that there's associate degree overall economical resource usage, you're exploring, particularly within the battle scenes, giving the sensation that the viewer is within the action, typically desperate to shred you shut or swords that fill the screen.
The identity of undefined Hercules Torrent too underestimates the viewer then if face, it's best to not need to grasp something and simply have a good time with the employment of 3D. OH perhaps you may not be angry to possess paid dearly for one thing thus dangerous.

The most frequent theme in 2007 was the ability of middle relief to suspend disbelief as long as possible.
A piggyback system worked, almost without thinking, to keep opponents off balance offensively instead of cracking the score wide open.
This team's strength will never be to not bleed runs -it will be more akin to stopping the bleeding and subsequently providing ample run support.
For every mistake Wilin might make behind the plate, he really does have to step up when he's at the plate.
Despite all of this, will the pitching rise above it all and be unhittable? The thing that drives me mad season to season to season is we do find diamond in the rough pitching. We just have the 1 or 2 new arms, though, and somehow find any excuse to get rid of proven arms if they have any kind of a bad year. At some point we have to stockpile the Hammels, the Ubaldos, and even try to retain a Marquis or two when he wins 10 games or more. We need to collect these arms, protect these arms, and have them all work together for a full season or two rather than keep passing cards.
Who would I be referring to in this current roster? De La Rosa. He may be struggling, but we know we can win with him so now it's a matter of being patient and not crucifying him if he has an off year.
When the pitching is right, doesn't ANY offense begin celebrating by scoring runs in bunches?
Granted, some arms will outlive their usefulness, but why not discover who our aces are this year and then go acquire as many of the proven arms as we can to compete through a couple of seasons? We know there are 6 starting arms out there in the league that can win 10 games or more. We know of 4-5 relievers that can stockpile saves and hold games. We just never get them all together in the same season.
Money is an issue only if you plan on getting one arm to supposedly anchor the roster for a single year. If the O'Dowdy put together a full plan that included banding together EVERY proven Rockies arm the entire rotation suddenly has a sense that they not only have the fighting chance we have this year, but we might have so many arms in the band that they can finally start throwing hot chin music, together.

Every time the screen flashed an image of a person, the little boy eagerly asked his mother, "Is he good?" or "Is he bad?" The boy's simple categories did not easily match the complexities ...

If you honor the church calendar, you know that last Sunday was the 32nd Sunday in "Ordinary Time." We are just about to leave this season of "Ordinary Time" and enter the Season of Advent. I always look forward to Advent, but this week I have been thinking about the notion of "Ordinary Time."

West Ham United linked with Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac
5:03pm Wednesday 5th March 2014 in Sport
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.
The Hammers were reportedly interested in the French forward during the January transfer window but did not bring him in.
It is understood the Irons will move for the 28-year-old this summer as Sam Allardyce looks to strengthen his attack.

Kevin Durant grabbed a rebound 15 seconds into the game. Then he kept grabbing rebounds. Five in the first 5 1/2 minutes. Ten by halftime. Sixteen through three quarters.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant finds different way to help team win
Of course, rebounds were plentiful in the Thunder's 102-72 rout of the Bulls on Sunday night. Chicago missed 38 shots in the first half and 51 through three quarters, which is all Durant played.
But still, 16 rebounds is a fair amount on a night when Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins were on the ornery side themselves. Ibaka had five rebounds the first nine minutes; Perk had five rebounds the first 8 1/2 minutes.
When Durant wasn't battling Bulls for errant shots, he was battling his fellow frontcourt mates.
So despite missing 13 of his first 17 shots, Durant still had a mighty impact on the game. Six assists and 16 rebounds are nice subsidiaries for the NBA's leading scorer.
"It says a lot about him," said Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau. "Durant didn't have a great shooting night (six of 19). He missed some shots he normally makes. But what he did do, he went to another area.
"That's how you help your team win. That's critical. The nights in which you don't shoot the ball like you normally do, you do other things to help your team win.
"You set your teammates up, you rebound the ball and play great defense, and that's what he's doing. He's showing what a complete player he is."
Of course, LeBron James is ruining that complete-player tag for all other players. Hard to laud a game like Durant's Sunday night when LeBron has uncorked a series of monster performances.
But truth is, Durant is better than ever. He's scoring like always, shooting better than ever, rebounding forcefully and passing well. And when Durant's shot is off, he's still a dominant player for the Thunder.

- UPDATED: 15 Jul 2014 16:04
Former water polo vice-captain Yip Ren Kai will chair the Commission, which aims to help advise the Singapore National Olympic Council on athlete development and life after sports.
SINGAPORE: The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) has appointed a former water polo vice-captain and an ex-fencing exponent to lead the Athletes' Commission for the next three years.
In a statement on Monday (June 2), the SNOC said Mr Yip Ren Kai has been appointed as Chairperson for the new term, while Ms Ruth Ng will function as the Vice Chairperson. Former Sportswoman of the Year, Ms Jasmine Yeong-Nathan was also appointed as Honorary Secretary during the meeting to elect the office bearers last Saturday.
The full list of office bearers for the 2014-2017 term are:
Yip Ren Kai (Water polo) – Chairperson
Ruth Ng (Fencing) – Vice Chairperson
Jasmine Yeong-Nathan (Bowling) – Honorary Secretary
Mark Chay (Swimming)
Dipna Lim-Prasad (Athletics)
Lim Heem Wei (Gymnastics)
Annabelle Ng (Canoeing)
Ng PeiRu (Karate)
Jasmine Ser (Shooting)
Aqilah Binte Sudhir (Shooting)
Derek Wong (Badminton)
Mr Yip said in the statement that the commission is working with various stakeholders on how to help current athletes in their careers and life after sports, as it formalises its short- and long-term goals.
"Former athletes such as Mark Chay, Ruth Ng, Ng PeiRu and I have managed to successfully move to the workforce after sports," he said.
"Athletes such as Derek Wong, Jasmine Yeong-Nathan and Dipna Lim-Prasad are currently juggling sports, work and studies. I hope with our skill sets and experience, we are able to help athletes and be a fair voice for them in the SNOC."

Looking at the Weekend: May 16-18, 2014
The latest reboot of the Japanese monster movie will likely stomp all over the competition last week.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: The teaser for Godzilla got me excited about the movie, though the follow-up trailers have been less entertaining.
Peter J. Patrick: Who would have thought the most exciting new film of the week would turn out to be another remake of the 1954 Japanese horror film, Godzilla, disastrously remade by Hollywood in 1998. From all accounts the new version seems to be superior in every respect.
Tripp Burton: Some films with surprisingly good reviews are creeping in and may set a good precedent for the summer ahead of us.
Thomas LaTourrette: Both Godzilla and The Immigrant have good word of mouth, but I am not the most excited by this weekend's offering. Hopefully we will get some really exciting movies soon.
Looking at the Weekend: May 9-11, 2014
It may be a tight race for #1 next weekend between family vs. frat comedy Neighbors and the second weekend of The Amazing Spider-Man. The sequel isn't doing as well as its predecessor, which could mean that the more fresh Neighbors squeaks by for a victory.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: I'll admit that Neighbors looks like it could be fun and against these other two wide releases, there's really no contest. On the indie front, The Double is rocking a Terry Gilliam vibe that I'm digging.
Peter J. Patrick: Lots of low rent comedies and a retrograde cartoon - not an especially interesting week.
Tripp Burton: Another week of mediocre looking studio films. I think I'll stay at home with Netflix.
Thomas LaTourrette: I'm not that excited by the films, but both The Neighbors and The Double have good word of mouth and could be worth seeing. Somehow yet another trip to Oz is hard to get excited by, there have been too many.
Looking at the Weekend: May 2-4, 2014
The top film at the box office this week will be The Amazing Spider-Man. In other news, water is wet.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: Having found the reboot The Amazing Spider-Man better than all but the second film of the original trilogy, I'm looking forward to this one. However, I'm going to suspect it will be weaker, not stronger, than its predecessor.
Peter J. Patrick: Finally a 2014 weekend with some promising release titles.
Tripp Burton: It's a slow week, with one big sequel and a few small indies.
Thomas LaTourrette: A better weekend to look forward to than the last several. While the Spider-Man movie might be fun, Belle looks better, though I was getting tired of its trailer.
Looking at the Weekend: Apr. 25-27, 2014
Another weekend of lackluster releases won't result in another week at the top for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. One of these three titles will end up on top and my gut leans towards The Other Woman.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: The Other Woman might be fun, but I'm not really excited about anything this week.
Peter J. Patrick: Not a good week for new movies. Enjoy the outdoor spring weather instead.
Tripp Burton: Yet again, nothing is really piquing my interest, but there is probably plenty to satisfy a lot of moviegoers.
Looking at the Weekend: Apr. 18-20, 2014
Bears is the only wide release that I can't see taking the top spot this weekend. It's also possible that Rio 2 could spend a second week at the #1 with one of these following in second place.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: With reticence, I choose the Johnny Depp sci-fi feature Transcendence. The Bears documentary could be cute, bug negligible and, among the films we're not covering, I'd be most interested in Tasting Menu.
Peter J. Patrick: A little bit of this, a little bit of that this week.
Tripp Burton: Nothing this weekend is really my cup of tea, but fans of these genres look to have some interesting fare to check out.
Looking at the Weekend: Apr. 11-13, 2014
It'll be a tight weekend this week...for second place. Captain America: The Winter Soldier will easily take first place, but which film will come in second? It could be any of the three new releases, but my guess is Rio 2.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: Oculus could be interesting, but I'm not particularly psyched about any of them.
Peter J. Patrick: I'm looking forward to seeing The Railway Man even if no one else is.
Tripp Burton: The studios are starting to turn out some more high profile films as Spring arrives, but I'm still not very interested in any of them.
Looking at the Weekend: Apr. 4-6, 2014
Who doesn't think Captain America will top the box office. Anyone who doesn't really needs to rethink things.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: I will always give a Marvel universe film the time of day. As to what else is showing? A few items look interesting, but other than Under the Skin, I wouldn't go out of my way to see them.
Peter J. Patrick: A week for those who find The Avengers franchise particularly awesome.
Looking at the Weekend: Mar. 28-30, 2014
With the releases expected, Noah should have little problem capturing the top spot at the box office. Cesar Chavez should have a solid debut targeting Hispanic audiences and Sabotage may be the latest in a long string of failures for the former California Governor.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: I'm not all that intrigued by most of the weekend's slate. I'd probably go with Noah if for no other reason to verify that the film will or will not make religious fundamentalists angry.
Peter J. Patrick: The first week in a long time where all the new releases have broad appeal.
Looking at the Weekend: Mar. 21-23, 2014
Another weekend of battles, this one pitting the latest in a string of films targeting tween audiences against the latest in a reborn puppet franchise. While the performance of the rebooted The Muppets would suggest Muppets Most Wanted has the advantage, the marketplace is saturated with family films and the tween audience may finally jump aboard another franchise. I give Divergent the slight edge as it mines the same dystopian future that made The Hunger Games a blockbuster.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: I'm indifferent about most of this week's films, though not completely against several of them. While the wide releases live a little to be desired, Lars Von Trier has a new film out, so that's probably your best bet. If you can handle the overt sexuality.
Peter J. Patrick: A little something for everyone this week.
Tripp Burton: It's an odd week where I am intrigued by every new movie coming out!
Looking at the Weekend: Mar. 14-16, 2014
I give a slight box office edge to Need for Speed, but The Single Moms Club could also be the weekend's top new release. It's also possible that neither can overcome the second weekend of 300: Rise of an Empire.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: The Single Moms Club might not be bad, though I'd probably check out Veronica Mars if I were to pick one title to watch. I might catch Enemy also.
Peter J. Patrick: The long-awaited return of Veronica Mars happens on the big screen, but is it worth going out of your way to find as opposed to waiting for the DVD?
Tripp Burton: I guess that now that the Oscars are done, the studios don't feel the need to release quality films anymore?
Looking at the Weekend: Mar. 7-9, 2014
It will be a competitive week, but Mr. Peabody and Sherman doesn't have to appeal the very narrow demographic of fans 300: Rise of an Empire does. I could see a scenario where either come out on top.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: The only interesting films this week come from the indie circles, Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel would be top on my list.
Peter J. Patrick: Things are picking up. We have our first major film of the year in The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Tripp Burton: Now that we are through Oscar season, it looks like our first possible real contender for next year's awards is coming out. And I don't mean Mr. Peabody.
Looking at the Weekend: Feb. 28-Mar. 1, 2014
It's the ultimate face-off of badasses. In one corner, you have a late-career action star turning a non-stop flight into a thriller. On the other hand, you have Jesus Christ. For a film made by and for Christians to flop at the box office, it would have to be bad. And they can handle relatively bad to begin with.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: There is no release slated for this weekend I would want to see more than The Wind Rises. I've already seen it and I'm still excited.
Peter J. Patrick: Oscar nominee The Wind Rises and Non-Stop, a halfway decent looking thriller, make this look like a decent week at the movies.
Tripp Burton: There are few filmmakers I get more excited for than Hayao Miyazaki, so that is the no-brainer choice of the weekend.
Looking at the Weekend: Feb. 21-23, 2014
We'll probably see a third week at number one for The Lego Movie while Kevin Costner's action film edges out the cheesy romantic disaster film Pompeii.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: There's not a lot this week that I really have an interest in. Sometimes it's better to go with the Oscar nominee than the not. If I had to choose, Barefoot looks most interesting.
Peter J. Patrick: If you can find them, this week's limited releases appear to have more going for them than the general releases.
Tripp Burton: Some real lousy films are coming out this weekend, so if you have anything you gotta catch before Oscar Sunday now is the time to do it.
Looking at the Weekend: Feb. 14-16, 2014
It's Valentine's Day, so counterprogramming can sometimes be counterproductive. However, with three "romantic" releases targeting similar audiences, a big budget remake might just do the trick. I give the slight edge this week to RoboCop but I think About Last Night and Winter's Tale could also be potent competitors. Endless Love will be incredibly finite.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: The week's offerings aren't particularly interesting. About Last Night is the only trailer that made me laugh and actually got me interested in its subjects, so it gets my endorsement.
Peter J. Patrick: This year's Valentine's Day releases are definitely not for movie lovers.
Tripp Burton: This week is headlined by some pointless remakes. I'll be staying at home.
Looking at the Weekend: Feb. 7-9, 2014
With the dearth of suitable competition and untold advertising, The Lego Movie will have one of the year's biggest openings outside the Summer months.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: Early reviews are pointing towards The Lego Movie being a pretty good adventure. However, for me, I'm still more interested in The Monuments Men even if other critics are currently down on it.
Peter J. Patrick: Last year's holdback, Monuments Men and the documentary, Kids for Cash, may be worth a look, but otherwise this is another good week for staying home and watching an old movie.
Tripp Burton: It's only the first full weekend of February, and we are already getting interesting new releases. Maybe this year will shape up to be as interesting as last year!

August Alsina - Party and Bullsh*t
Artist: August Alsina
Featuring: CyHi The Prynce
Producer: Jim Jonsin
Album: The Product Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 13 total votes )
Previously heard taking inspiration from The Throne's N*ggas in Paris on mixtape leak B*tches in ATL, singer August Alsina returns with a follow-up inspired by not one but two rap icons. Taking its title, intro and outro from Biggie's 1993 single, Party and Bullsh*t finds the up-and-comer showcasing his pipes over the Jim Jonsin-produced beat that backed Weezy's PMW (P*ssy Money Weed) (sampled from Outkast's Jazzy Belle). G.O.O.D. Music representative (and freestyle series alumnus) Prince CyHi contributes guest rhymes. Digging it? More fresh cuts await on August Alsina's new mixtape, The Product, scheduled for release in April.
