I got a bit derailed today and started playing dollhouse for real. Been doing this staircase thingie for about two hours now…
Hammer editor in the works. My city is a lot like a movie set. Only the front sides are done properly. Next I am going to build the main characters room inside one of the houses.
Yeehaa, intro chapter done in time! Most time went using Hammer and learning new things again. But everything worked as planned and I now have a solid workflow for the next three days.
I hope to do at least three chapters.
Enjoy the screenshot :D
Five and half hours have gone already, the house has 5 people making games, one playing games and one sleeping after a long party last night.
I changed my plans a bit. I won't be making each step in turn, but instead make a chapter at a time. That time I will be going through all the phases many times and will get a better estimation of how fast I can work.
I have now written down some notes, a simple progression without choices and the script for the introduction chapter. Next up creating the backgrounds with Hammer and editing them in GIMP.
I wrote the script using Celtx. It was really handy, because it changed the type of text and indentation automatically :D
Here is the first sketch of the main character Roksa.
My eastern looks strangely devoid of activity, so I will be co-hosting a Game Jam with my roommate. From this weeks friday to monday, we will be making a game at our place.
I plan to do a visual novel and integrate it into Script Frenzy and my new Hammer editor skillz.
My plan is as follows.
Friday : writing the script using Celtx.
The story will happen in the near future, after a quick and bold alien invasion, that has made Earth a municipality in the great galactic union. Cities are in a bad shape, but school will be starting anyway. The player will meet resistance members and alien transfer students and learn how things are going in the galaxy.
At the end of the day I should have the first, unedited version of the script and a list of necessary character and background images.
Saturday: Drawing the characters and creating locations in Hammer.
It's hard to evaluate how long this will take, but I'll make the script use as few characters and different locations as possible.
Before sunday I should have enough assets to create the events in the script.
Sunday: Combining the script and images into a Ren'Py script file.
I'll be revising the script as I go and making tweaks if necessary.
Monday: Playtesting, correcting typos and tweaking around.
Last day is my reserve day if something takes longer than expected. And on the other hand, if there is time left I will be trying to make some music and sounds.
Eastern Egg Game Jam - you never know what comes out.

The Appalachian Trail is an often treacherous test of endurance that is completed by only 25 percent of those who attempt it. Hiking the Appalachian Trail alone adds even more challenges. As Retired Sergeant First Class Eric Bourquin presses on in his 2,200 mile journey from Maine to Georgia, he'll have a new hiking partner: United States Air Force veteran Kevin Kitchen. Technical Sergeant Kitchen participated in multiple Air Force combat deployments in Kuwait and Iraq. In 2007, he medically retired from the Air Force as a result of multiple traumatic brain injuries and a diagnosis of PTSD. He is currently employed by the Army Corp of Engineers.
With training and coaching from Retired Sergeant First Class Eric Bourquin and Captain Sean Niquette, Technical Sergeant Kitchen is ready to take on the Appalachian Trail. He will join Retired Sergeant First Class Bourquin near Roanoke, VA, and together they will complete the mission toward the end of November.

Michael Miller first got to know Bo Bullard as a athlete and student. Miller, who coached Bullard in boys basketball and golf, said he knew Bullard had what it took to excel not only in athletics and academics, but in life.
Bullard was one of the 10 top LHS graduating seniors who received "Lamp of Knowledge" medals Wednesday night at the McHale Performing Arts Center in recognition of their academic achievement.
Those students also selected and recognized "pillars," those who had influenced and motivated them to succeed.
"I'm proud to be a part of his accomplishments," Miller said. "He epitomizes what it means to be a student athlete."
Miller said the experience was humbling.
"My goal is to create opportunities for students and athletes and impact their lives and ironically it has been the students who have impacted my life," Miller said.
Bullard, who is in golf, football, basketball, student council, NHS and swing choir, said it was a great feeling to be able to tell everyone else what kind of person Miller was.
Kathy Elkins said the ceremony brought her to tears.
"It was special to be appreciated in that way," Elkins said. "I felt very humbled and it was great to be a part of the evening."
Kathy Elkins has been giving piano lessons to Ashley Fawcett for 10 years, seeing her grow into a talented pianist.
"She is very gifted, personally and musically and was a delight to be around," Elkins said. "I've appreciated her dedication to play the piano and being a young woman of character."
Fawcett said Elkins has always supported her and she knew she wanted to choose her as her pillar.
Fawcett, who is treasurer of the National Honor Society, team captain for the swim team and section leader for percussion and drum line, said it was special to speak about Elkins and be able to show her appreciation for her.
Fawcett and Bullard both plan to attend Purdue University. Bullard plans to major in industrial management or management and Bullard will study engineering.
The Pillar Award and Lamp of Knowledge award were put into place by former Logansport Superintendent Ted Hughes in 1985.
Logansport High School principal Matt Jones said the award ceremony Wednesday night was great.
"In the 142 years of our school we have had many rich traditions and this is one of our best," Jones said. "I'm so proud of the students who have not only achieved excellence, they have contributed to the community."
Elkins, who attended the ceremony once before because her daughter was in it, said she didn't realize before how much the night was to recognize the pillars.
"It was great to see the other pillars and how they have poured into kids' lives and created a lasting impression," Elkins said. "I grew more respect for people I knew even before."
Miller agreed, saying it was wonderful listening to the stories the students shared about the influences of others.
"The recognition goes out to the students," Miller said. "We all play some facet in their lives, but the accomplishment is all their work."

I do not own Inuyasha
Kagome was having her 17th birthday party at Taishou's , a very special place for her turning of age with her 18 year old friends , who invited her to a night time beach party.
They went to Yokohoma Beach that night, Kagome went to support her friends in their upcoming marriages to their youkai's.
Ayame was a wolf demon, leader of the Southern tribes of wolves, Sango was a tiger demon with poison claws, and Kikyo was a dove inu-miko , and Kagome was a neko Inu-miko.
Ayame , a wolf demon was being mated to Kouga, the leader of the Northern Wolves, Kikyo was mating Inuyasha Taishou, Sango was mating Miroku Taishou.
She enjoyed the party until, one of her friends intendeds asked her,
"Would you like a beer, sweetie?"
"No, I don't drink, not wise for inu-mikos"
Hearing this , Sesshoumaru said,
"Why are you here, miko if not to mate being 17?"
"To support my friends in their marriages and wish them well"
As she asked him," Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?"
"Overseeing the mating as my father could not be here"
Then she said,
"As I have already wished them well, could you call me a cab? I can talk to them in a weeks' time"
"So you know of this, do you?"
"Yes, I am an Neko Inu-Miko.
Then he called Yellow Cab Company, asking for a cab to come to Yokohoma beach, and he was paying the fare to the shrine.
He stayed with her while she waited for the cab, and put her in the cab saying,
"Have a good evening, until next we meet again"
When she arrived at the shrine, she went to sleep dreaming of her friend's joy.
Fast forward 5 years later,
Kagome had just graduated Brown Business College as a valedictorian, and given her speech, as her family was waiting at the end of the stage with hugs and cameras.
"You and your mother need to get ready for the party tonight, I want both my girls to shine!"
Her father said.
So they did, starting with their hair, going to Jacque, her mother's hairdresser, nails done, eyebrows plucked,legs waxed,and make up applied and paid for.
Then they went to Sango's dress shop, she was well known for having the best dresses in town.
Kagome chose a midnight blue beaded dress, that was off one shoulder, showing off her creamy shoulders, her mother chose an black beaded A shaped dress that brought out her eyes.
While they were there, she kept thinking she looked familiar, then it hit her Yokohama Beach, the mating party when she was 17, her best friend mating Miroku Taishou.
So as she chose her dresses , she asked,
"Sango? Is that you? How are you doing!?"
The two girls embraced in a warm hug.
"I'm fine! I make custom dresses now, and Miroku owns his own jewelry store, How have you been Kagome? I haven't seen you in five years."
"Been at Brown Business College, just graduated Valedictorian today." Said Kagome with a smile.
And I love your business, your dresses are gorgeous just like you, can we get together for lunch on Monday?
"I will give you my home phone; call me to confirm a luncheon date, so we can catch up on old times!"
Then they purchased their dresses and were on their way to get their accessories at Miroku's.
Next stop, 'Miroku's jewelry store' for matching jewelry.
Miroku took care of them personally, asking,
"What would you fine ladies want to find today?"
"A plain midnight blue gem on a gold chain with sapphire earrings and Black onyx earrings with matching necklace" her mother said.
"Ah, I see you know what you want, let me see what I can do."
He looked in his display, and said,
"Ladies , I have all that you require, for the young lady a sapphire necklace with matching earrings, and for the mother a black onyx necklace with matching earrings"
When they decided to purchase their jewelry she told him,
"I saw Sango, her dress shop is doing well, I told her to confirm a luncheon date to catch up on old times, you could come too if you wish………"
"Where have you been?"
She asked me the same question,
"Attending Brown Business College for 5 years, just graduated Valedictorian , today"
I would be honored to take you two to lunch, at a time of your choosing.
"I would be honored as well, sometime next week, we will confirm by phone!"
Then they walked to their car, and went home satisfied with their purchases and ready to get dressed to the tees.
When they arrived at the shrine, they unpacked their purchases, covered their hair with shower caps, bathed ………….
Both ladies were dressed to the tees as her father came home from work, he was greeted by his girls shining like the jewels they were to him, saying,
"Hello honey, how was your day?"
"Not bad , but I am looking forward to tonight!"
So he showered, picked up his suit, tie , and socks off the bed and picked up his wallet and keys, then he said,
"Let's go troops! "
Then they went to their Lexus hybrid,and headed to the party, it started at 8:00.
Then they were on their way to the Taisho Mansion, 2 miles outside the city.
Her father was pumped, she was joining the business!
Then they arrived at the front of the house, giving his keys to the valet, they were announced as they entered the double doors,
"Mister and Misses Higarashi and Miss Kagome"
Then they greeted Inutashio and his two sons, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
Ken Higarashi introduced his wife Sakura and his daughter Kagome, who had graduated from Brown Business College ,Valedictorian , today.
His wife did not move, but Kagome stepped forward and said,
"It is nice to meet you sir" and gave him a firm handshake.
Then she asked,
"What are your sons names"
"Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru"
Then she gave each of them a firm handshake saying,
"It is nice to meet you as well, my father speaks highly of your sire"
Then she walked away with her father to walk up on stage, saying
"I have an announcement to make, my daughter will be joining me in the family business, since she graduated from Brown Business College , Valedictorian no less, She will start on Monday……" Said her father.
Then they left the party , for the weekend.
The weekend was spent preparing for Monday, looking and buying female business suits that fit her like a glove, high heel pumps, plus a new haircut that was more flattering to her face………
Then it was Monday, she was there bright and early with her father, ready , willing, and able to work…….
Her father showed her around - the mail room- supervised by Inuyasha,her father's office, Cafetaria , The outer office etc.
Then he needed to work, but he appointed Sesshoumaru to finish her tour, as he showed her the monitoring area- where their firewalls are kept, and passwords……….
Then she told him,
"You do know that three of your operators are giving away your customers info to a competitor, on their cell phones……..
Then he asked,
"Which three operators are you referring to?"
"Starting from the left, One , two, and Three, the three demons……."
Then they were called into his office, as his father was called , and a dekrypter was called as well. The dekrypter tested their phones only to find their business info. Had been compromised for years and Naraku's payments to them in a swiss bank account.
Then his father entered the office, having heard all of the charges, asking,
"What is going on, Sesshoumaru?"
"Father, Kagome, found all these traitors in our midst, using their cell phones to sell our information To Naraku, what should we do with them?"
"Kill them,and compensate their families for their lost wages" then he left the office.
Then he slit their throats , and Kagome purified them to dust! Then they went to the incinerator and burned the ashes, effectively sending them to hell!
Then she said,
"You are off the hook for Yokohoma Beach, especially all the moaning from the girls, I have done the same thing for my friends In college so they were not virgins with their boyfriends……..the only compensation I ask is for you to have dinner at my apartment,TONIGHT and bring 5 cartons of the strongest and best demon sake produced………. I will cook a delicious meal to go with it."
After all she had done for him , he couldn't refuse nor did he want to……
"Yes, I would be honored to dine with you, MILADY"
Then they left work holding hands, him getting the sake, and her going to the store to get the ingredients for beef stroganoff, a huge green salad with tomatoes, cucumber, and black olives, with French dressing, ending with a pineapple upside cake.
They had decided that dinner would be at 8:00, so she had time to prepare it,and have her apartment ready, also he wanted to freshen up at his home.
By 8:00 the dinner looked scrumptuous- well braised beef in gravy with egg noodles, a beautiful green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and black olives with French dressing, with pineapple upside down cake for dessert.
After the dinner and dessert was ready , she called her friend Eri, saying,
"Can I come over and see you ?"
"Yes, come on over"
So she went to visit her friend and ask a favor.
"Eri, could you help me out with a bag of joints? I have a friend coming over that needs loosening up!"
"Sure , let me call a friend"
After the delivery was made, she asked Eri,
"Why don't you come over and have a smoke or two with me?"
"I would love to……"
Then they went to her apartment, and smoked 2 joints a piece, that lead to Kagome loosening her up!
She had undressed her and had her tongue between her nether lips when Sesshoumaru arrived for dinner!
He could smell arousal as soon as he went to the door, and was puzzled.
When the Doorbell rang , she still had hr tongue in nether lips, making Eri scream,
"Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee harder please"
Then she removed herself, and answered the door, saying
"I am sorry,I took so long , sit down and take a joint from the table and smoke it, it will relax you!"
Then she went back to Eri, making her Scream again,
"Kagome, Harder please, you are being too gentle"
Then she kissed and sucked on her nipples , making her howl
Now Sesshoumaru smoked two joints and had a pretty good buzz going when he heard her scream ,
Having heard this Sesshoumaru disrobed completely , walked into the bedroom and removed Kagome's jeans and underwear and began to stimulate her clit, with his fingers adding one at a time to her asshole.
As he stimulated her, her body her body grew a penis so she could pleasure Eri and bring her to completion again…..
He noticed this and stimulated her penis and her asshole at the same time, causing her to come along with Eri………
Then they double teamed him, with Kagome sucking him off while Eri used her tongue on his dark passage…….He could not help himself,he was sensitive all over…….
As he "whimpered and roared his climax"
Then he Pinned Kagome to Eri, so she was filling her channel and he was taking her asshole, filling it up nicely, ……
He started with long strokes, then sped up when asked ,
"Harder, faster, is that all you've got?" from Kagome
Then he loosed his beast, and used his demonic speed on her, mating her when she climaxed!
Then Eri was pleasuring Kagome, using a vibrating dildo, her thin tongue and her hands……
As Sesshoumaru was taking her in her dark passage, and being asked,
"Is that all you've got? Rougher, faster, and harder!'
This also loosed his demonic speed and roughness, causing her to moan
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sesshoumaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
When she cloimaxed he also mated her.
Then both ladies tag teamed him,one tok his dark passage with her hardened penis and the other sucked on his nipples, while scratching them for good measure, then kissing them as well…
He never stood a chance, when he climaxed both girls gave him their mating mark on the opposite shoulder!
It was after 2:00 when ALL three partners finally ate the dinner meant for two.
Using her best china, crystal glasses,and silverware and reheating the food in the microwave…..
Once their meal was ready with the dessert……
He was thinking,
'Wow , she is quite the cook,and a sharp eyed exexcutive at work, maybe I should mate her ………'
Then she seated herself, and they said grace over their food, then she served Their plates with a little of everything, saying
"If you want seconds or thirds just dig in and enjoy"
'And she is generous, only asking me to bring the drink……..'
Then she asked him,
"Did you bring the sake?"
"Yes, I did"
"Then lets drink a couple bottles with dinner, and a couple with dessert"
So he opened a bottle of demon sake,and filled all 3 glasses to the brim.
Dinner was delicious, as was the sake , continuing to keep them mellow plus the joints which would besmoked again after dinner
Then they Smoked three more joints to mellow out, and then went back to the bedroom…..
Since they were already in robes from the forst round....
They only needed to remove them to continue their pleasure.....
AS Eri was stimulating her clit by sucking hard on her pearl, using her thin tongue to penetrate her channel to her cervix!
Then she slowly kissed him on his lips, sweet and slow slowly starting a fire within him, then she slowly nipped her way down his chest, and abdomen , all the way down to his very prominent cock that was twitching with excitement!
Then Eri Used her tongue on her dark passage, causing her to moan,
"Rougher , harder, faster…"
At the same time, as she went down on him, hard and rough, he began
To moan, roar and whimper,
As she enjoyed her treat, making him extremely stiff and at attention, he said,
"Oh Kami, Yes, Harder please!",
And she begged Eri,
"Harder, faster,more rough….."Then Eri listened to her request as she did Sesshoumaru.
And she saw stars behind her eyes , like Sesshoumaru…
She listened to his command, and made him see stars behind his eyes because he came so hard, he roared out,
"Yessssssssssssssssssssssss,Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, harder!"
As she slid off his cock, and they both did a strip tease for him, including kissing each other in and on the mouth,sucking on each other' nipples……
Then he was behind her saying,
"My turn"
As he pushed her roughly on her bed in the Inu position, roughly taking her in the ass, which was extremely pleasurable to her!
As Eri used her tongue on the underside if his cock, as he was connected to Kagome, invreasing the sensitivity of his member…….
As Kagome said
"Sesshoumaru, harder and faster please…….."
'She likes it rough, the little tart……….'
As she was moaning,
Which he did, when she climaxed, saying
"More Sesshoumaru , harder , faster, and more energy"
Then she came, screaming
Then he climaxed at the same time ,
Screaming ,
"Kagome, Eriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Then she slid out of his arms, pushing him on the bed, as she sat on his already stiff cock, causing him to "Hissssssssssssssssssssss"
Then she rode him to glory, by roughly taking him, by doing it his favorite way, "Down and Dirty" allowing air to come in, then ramming her body even harder, seating him to the hilt and rubbing his balls all the time!
AS Eri, licked her clit making it more sensitive,
Causing her to srcream,
They ALL climaxed at the same time, falling on the bed in a small puppy pile.
Then they ate pineapple upside down cake with liberal amounts of sake, before they fell asleep on her bed most content!
It wasn't until they missed 2 days of work, most noticeable to Inutashio, that he asked his secretary where he was,
"Where is my son?'
"At Miss Higarashi's apartment,on a date…….."
He left his place of business, infuriated,
'He couldn't wait until mating season,' no self-control'
He went to her apartment, knocked on the door and almost wasn't heard over the passionate love making in the apartment……….
Then he knocked louder, as they said,
"Why don't you answer the door, babe, take my pink robe off the door"
Then he went to the door in her robe and naught much else, looked out to see his sire as the lock was on.
His father asked him,
"Aren't you going to invite me in? "
"Of course sire"
As he slid her lock, and let him in.
Once he was in the apartment, he asked,
"Why have the two of you not been at work?"
"I have been mating Kagome and Eri, for several days since Friday"
"They are now your mates prove it!"
He went into her bedroom, telling them
"My sire does not believe you are my mates, he has asked for proof!"
"Really! Let's give him some!" as they put on a royal blue robe, ad a light blue robe, as naked as he was.
"Inutashio, you ask for proof of our mating, step forward and look at our necks and your sons"
He did, and what he saw was amazing to him, they had his mark and he had theirs.
He had to sit down, saying
"All the ladies in the office will be sorely disappointed, in your choice Kagome!"
"What does that mean, sire?"
"Simply, that the females wanted her as their mate, based on her college days, she was very much like you son, macking the women left and right"
He was shocked at what his sire had said, and then he remembered what she said after the demons were in the incinerator,
"You are off the hook for Yokohama Beach, especially the moaning girls, I did the same thing for my friends so they were not virgins with their boyfriends……….."
Then it sunk in, he would have an uphill battle to keep his little mate, unless……
"Sire, I will require 2 weeks of being with my new mates to secure my place with them."
" If they are pupped, no other male or female can contest our mateship, no matter what…."
"Son , you have all the time you need to secure your mate, all I ask is that you get formally married by a justice of the peace , tomorrow!"
"Only if you, my brothers and their wives are there as witnesses"
"No problem son, we will get your tux with Miroku,and Kagome will get her gown with her mother, Sakura TODAY.
You three get dressed; you have work of a different kind to do.
So all three went into her bedroom, and he dressed in his suit and Kagome in hers and Eri in her casual clothes, then they exited the bedroom.
Sesshoumaru leaving with his father and the men of his family, and Kagome and Eri with the ladies of his family.
Then they met her mother,Kikyo,Ayame, Sango,to look for wedding dresses, at the best shops, trying on dress after dress, until they found a dresses that were to their liking.
A dress with a box-cut front, flowing skirt, and low cut back, with a laurel wreath that kept the extra-long veil in place.
As well as a flowered,low cut v- front, with a low cut back, with a laurel wreath that kept the extra-long veil.
As They were trying on dresses they were being questioned by their friends ,
"How did you two hook him into marriage?"
"We did not hook him, we had a meal together, and enjoyed each other's company"
"That is not what I heard……."
"What did you hear, Inutashio had to track you three down at your apartment, and he answered the door in a robe with naught else on…….."
"All three of us were copulating at the time and almost did not hear the door…….."
"Really, You were so shy before you went to college….. What changed?" speaking to Kagome.
Then they asked Eri,
"How did you meet Sesshoumaru?"
"I was visiting Kagome when he came over, we were copulating…." Explained Eri
Then Kagome explained how she changed in college……
"Very simply, I learned how to pleasure demonesses and deflower them as Sesshoumaru had, enjoying myself on the way…….."
"You did this for 5 years?"
"Yes, I did"
Meanwhile Sesshoumaru was being asked,
"How did you score with two hot chicks, man!"
"I did not 'score' them, they scored me!"
She made a delicious meal of beef stroganoff, green salad with tomato, cucumber,and black olives with French dressing with pineapple upside down cake for dessert with The strongest ndemon sake to drink, we only drank a couple bottles, and smoked 6 joints a piece over the night……
Then they invited me into her bedroom, for a 'surprise', as they each other, undressed me and made love to me……
The males were flabbergasted,
"You must be lying, that couldn't be our Kagome and Eri……."
"It is and furthermore I will have to fight the women in her company for her mateship, thanks to her 'macking' the demonesses at college, so help me get ready to marry my mates……"
So they found a black tux, with a black obi to match, with dress pants ,socks and shoes, as he slept at the mansion by himself for the last time……
The next day they were being made up at the salon, getting their hair done, eyebrows plucked,legs waxed….. As well as the ladies of her new family.
On the other side of town, Sesshoumarus showering , shaving, brushing his hair and putting in a high ponytail getting ready to put on his tux.
As all threee dressed for their wedding, they couldn't help but to think,
'Our life will never be dull, nor our relationship…….'
Then the ladies brought Kagome and Eri in a limo, and the men did the same with Sesshoumaru.
The men came first, with the groom, stationing him in front of Justice of the Peace Maynard, with his brother Inuyasha holding the rings on a purple pillow.
Then they arrived in their beautiful dresses with a long trains held by Sango and Ayame, with her friend Kikyo as her Matron of honor.
The wedding march was played, and they walked in, with their best friends holding the trains, they looked so , so regal, so gorgeous to his eyes, …………. He fell in love with them all over again.
Then all three were married, having had the blood test the day before- so they had the marriage license.
Justice Maynard asked,
"Do you Sesshoumaru Tashio, take Kagome Higarashi and Eri Yasoki as your lawfully wedded wives, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health………."
"I Do"
"You may place the ring on their fingers"
As he placed the ring on their fingers, they slid on with all the love he had in his heart, for both his mates!
Then Justice Maynard, asked Kagome and Eri,
"Do you Kagome Higarashi And Eri Yasoki, take Sesshoumaru Taisho to be your lawfully wedded husband, for rich, for poorer, in sickness and in health…………To love and obey"
"We Do"
"You may put the ring on his finger"
As each lady slid their ring on his finger, they thought,
' I am marrying the man of my dreams'
Then he said,
"With the power vested in me, based on Tokyo law, you are husband and wives"
"You may kiss the brides………."
Then he lifted the veils and looked upon his brides, which would help him in all aspects of his life, and be his best friends and lovers…..
Then they forgot their audience, he boldly ran his hand down her back, bent her back from the waist caressing her back all the while, While kissing her until she needed air……….
He did the same with both his brides, leaving the men to wonder,
'Where does he get his energy from?'
As well as shocking all the witnesses.
'Will they ever come up for air?'
This happened with both brides, who were out of breath!
They did 5 minutes later, smiling ear to ear, as they lifted their dresses so their husband could remove each garter belt from their thighs and threw them to Inutashio, who blushed.
Then they went to the Taisho Mansion for the reception, which included a 3 layer wedding cake, with 2 brides and groom on top, then each bride cut the cake and smashed into each other's faces, and smiling all the while. . .
Then all three had the wedding meal, and promptly left for their room in the mansions private wing……
It took 3 months to get them pupped, and 5 months away from work and the ladies to keep her.
They used their time teaching the other married ladies of the family her "dirty little tricks" to please their mates.
They practiced at her apartment, where they kept their torture materials, her vertical beam, stalks, various whips, vertical stalks, and feather sticks.
They had them all strip down, and began to teach them by experience.
They taught them how to whip one another, while one pleasured their pussy, others were in the stalks getting tickled, whipped, and pussy pleasure.
They also taught them how to use nipple clamps, tie each other up to the vertical pole front and back being not so gently whipped, including nipples , stomachs, and pussies………..
This went on for 1 month, then their husband found them at the apartment and the scent of arousal was hard to miss of the feminine type, so he peeked in and then went in the hall to call the husbands to come quick…….
When they arrived, he let them into the apartment, smelling female arousal that was overwhelming to all the males finding themselves stiff between the legs.
As they walked in, Kagome said,
"Speak of the devil, our playthings….please come in, you will love our playground"
"Undress including your underwear, which must be restrictive, and join us"
Then each wife took her husband to a torture contraption Kagome and Eri took their husband to the vertical bar- tieing him up facing forward to whip his nipples, then slide it on both sides then his abs, chest and privates ever so lightly then rough……
Then she sasshed over and placed her mouth on his member causing him to cum hard with a roar……..
While Eri tongued his back entrance which only helped to cum again as Kagome continued her torture to his member…….
After their husband was pleasured, she helped Miroku's wife, by whipping his back,butt, legs and shoulders, with Eri tickling him in a very erotic way, this combined with his wife sucking him off….
The combined effort had him coming in bountiful amounts in her mouth, and moaning and whining like a puppy.
Kouga was at the stalks (Standing) receiving his whip tickle, and suck off treatment, he was howling like a wolf in the wild with pleasure……….
As for Inyuasha , he was in the bedroom with Kikyo, she was putting on nipple clamps on him, tieing his arms back, and preparing to whip his nipples, stomach , shoulders, abs, legs……..
As she hit one nipple,
"Moaning and roaring" could be heard as she pleasured him into cumming with a, mighty roar that all his brothers heard….
When they were finished with their husbands, they were ready to sleep in the apartment with their wives on futons, all over the floor including Kagome and Eri with Sesshoumaru.
'He now understood how she had "Macked" the women at college, and had taught the wives to "mack" their husbands'
This was his last thought as he snuggled with his wife and mates, with his head on top of theirs.
The next day it was their turn to surprise their wives with their ability to use their toys, including sex toys- vibrating and non- vibrating.
The next day, all the ladies had replaced their husbands, letting them be the dominant, exacting pleasure on them, by whip, nipple clamps, sex toys,and motion lotion.
It took all day, but they were all satisfied, and ready for a huge chinese takeout meal for each couple…….
That weekend was not forgotten, thanks to all the pregnancies that were conceived including Sesshoumaru adding several pups to his 5 pups………
After several months all their wives gave birth at the same time , using an extra-large delivery room, for all the wives and their husbands supporting them and having their privates pulled with each contraction, being sore after their children were born.
Sesshoumaru had 14 children – between Kagome and Eri , all boys with crescent moons on their foreheads, with zigzag stripes above the eyelid and on their cheeks……….
Kagome had 7 children, Kin had pure gold eyes, a gold crescent moon, with hazel stripes with golden hair , Kei had green eyes , with ocean blue stripes and a royal blue crescent moon with blood red hair, Raion had sun yellow eyes, yellow stripes and old gold colored hair, and Tora had black eyes with orange stripes and a black crescent moon- Raion and Tora were a twin birth.
The other ten births came one after another, First was Oumu-his eyes were black with a touch of gold, his hair was in stripes of yellow, forest green, red ,and navy blue and his crescent moon was a kaliedascope of colors. Second was Kujaku- had royal blue eyes, his hair was in stripes as well- stripes of royal blue ,royal green,and pure gold and his crescent moon was iridescent. Her last son was Shippou-had pure silver stripes and hair with molten silver eyes and a pure silver crescent moon on his forehead.
Eri also had 7 children,starting with Seidou- his hair was rust colored, his stripes copper, and his crescent moon was hazel, Sentou came next- With white hair, precious gold eyes and stripes to match. The next child to crown was A-Tisuto-With purple eyes and crescent moon,with blond hair.
The last four births were Purotekuta- With black eyes, black hair and stripes to match, Kousetsu- with snow white hair,sea- green eyes and a royal purple crescent moon,followed by Kitsune- with auburn hair and tails, with white hair and a royal blue crescent moon, and finally Inu- with, and his silver and black hair, cerulean blue eyes and green stripes.
It should be noted that all of his sons had his almost alabaster colored skin,with tiny fangs and claws, and his smirk!
Inuyasha had 4 girls and a boy with his wife , Kikyo, with ocean wave stripes on their faces-on their cheeks and eyelids, and their father's semi –white skin with claws and fangs.
Their first daughter was called Usagi- with her white hair, green stripes and pink eyes. Their second daughter was called Murasaki- for her African violet eyes and hair, with matching stripes, their third daughter was called Bara- for her rose red hair, stripes, and green eyes. Their last daughter was called Ikasu- with white hair, gold eyes, and stripes to match.
His son was named Hayashi- With his algea green eyes, brown hair, and ocean turquoise stripes.
Miroku had 5 girls with Sango, all having his wife's strong features and appearance.
Their first daughter was named Hadankyou for her plum colored eyes and hair, his second was named Momo for her peach colored eyes, their third was named Abokydu- for her avocado green eyes and hair.
Their last two daughters were named Ka-Ne- Jon- for her resemblance to a blooming carnation and finally his last daughter was called Ninjin- based on her carrot colored hair and eyes.
Finally Kouga had 5 girls with Ayame, they also resembled his wife in appearance with a strong chin and facial features, with a gentle smile, as well as her fangs and claws.
Their first daughter was named Seruri for her celery green eyes and hair, then came Retasu- whose hair and eye were light green like lettuce.
The last three were Tomato- for red hair and eyes, Ti-Roze- for her blue eyes and hair, and finally Tenka- Shishi- she had golden hair and eyes with a touch of white.
All 4 men were standing by their wives, all wearing identical smirks(like the cat who ate the canary) and happily holding their children one at a time…..
Then their sire walked in saying,
"Cigars all around, to celebrate all of the new pups , their sires and mothers…."
None of you are to show your face at work for a month, bond with your families and I will tell the crest fallen females of the miraculous births …..
Then he approached his eldest, having 14 children, and helped him by picking up each child giving them a blessing.
He did the same for each young man, bestowing a hidden blessing on each child, then they howled for an hour to show their joy…..
After a month they all returned to work, and Sesshoumaru had no difficulty with the female workers because they knew that him and Kagome had given birth to 14 boys, that they would have first crack at when they began to work at the company with a view to marriage…..
The end
A/N:I am including what each childs name means:
Hayashi- forest
Ka-Ne- Jon- carnation
Ti Roze- tea rose
Tenka Shishi- snow lion

If supporting real immigration reform, not path to citizenship is "Obamaphobia," guilty as charged. RT if you're a fellow "Obamaphobic!"—
Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
Sen. Ted Cruz has already convinced us many times over that he's not going to be cowed by all of the usual Beltway tactics. Accusations of being the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy? Cruz swatted that one away with a clip from "Casablanca." A Latino in name only? Cruz didn't even have time to react to that tweet before it disappeared. He's already embraced the "wacko bird" nickname given to him by Sen. John McCain, so don't think that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) attributing Cruz's opposition to the Gang of Eight's shamnesty bill to "Obamaphobia" on MSNBC is going to result in any policy flips on immigration reform.
@SenTedCruz BHO has set back personal liberty and republican government more than all other presidents combined since 1913. #tcot—

Antenna - Signal Booster
A cell phone antenna is a key technology in a cellular phone system or any other wireless system. In a wireless system, an antenna converts guided radio wave energy (such as a signal traveling in a coaxial cable for television) to energy that is emitted or "radiated" out into free space. An antenna also does the reverse—it receives radio waves from the air and feeds them into the devices that detect, decode, and amplify them. In a cell phone system, there is one antenna in the handset and another in the base station tower. Both of these antennas transmit and receive waves.

Visit us at Vogue Knitting Live, NYC!
If you're in the NYC area this weekend, please stop by the Vogue Knitting Live marketplace at the Marriot Marquis Hotel. As usual, I'll be there -- teaching knitters how to crochet and vice versa -- at the Bernat Beginner's Lounge!
This time we're shaking it up a bit by offering different weights of yarn to learn with, including: Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell, Bernat Softee Chunky, and Bernat Softee Baby! We'll also provide Boye Needles and The Crochet Dude Hooks to go along with the yarn of your choice.
Even if you're already an experienced stitcher, we'd love to share free patterns and other goodies with you. I'll be handing out loads of sample balls of Bernat yarns in this season's, on-trend colors. Also (while supplies last) a pattern and hook for quick-to-make slippers to keep you cozy after a long day, of yarn shopping.
When I'm not at the Beginner's Lounge, I'll be signing copies of my latest book, Step It Up Knits (Chronicle) at the Kollabora booth (# 318 & 320) on Saturday at 12pm, and Sunday at 1pm.
Even if you can't make it to the show though, you can follow the happenings on Twitter. Look for hashtag #vklive.
I'll also be sharing a live stream of photos on Instagram, so be sure to follow me. Oh, and tag/tweet me @VickieHowell and @BernatYarns if we take a picture together.
Hope to see you -- either live or virtually -- there!
P.S. You can see my photos from past Vogue Knitting Live Shows here.

I want to preface this by saying that I am not a statistician. This could all be hogwash, so bear with me.
Last year, Joe Blanton reach career bests in a few categories, including strikeouts (140) and K/9 (5.48). While Blanton is pitching deep into games this year (sample size warning), he is not striking out many batters. Blanton's 3.56 K/9 is by far the lowest of any of the A's starters, and good for 45th out of the 48 pitchers who have amassed at least 40 innings this year.
In addition to his low strikeout totals, Blanton is giving up 10.5 H/9, as opposed to last year's rate of 9.39. While his BB/9 is as solid as it's ever been, his WHIP has jumped to 1.347 (last year: 1.217). His ERA+ is 99, even though he's seemingly having a good season. It's not a huge sample, but on average, Joe's struggles typically seem to escalate after the fifth inning.
That Joe struggles later in the game isn't any huge revelation. Conventional wisdom says that batters get more comfortable after having seen a pitcher a couple times already. On top of that, pitchers tire and lose effectiveness as a game goes on. With decreased command, pitchers will typically either walk more batters or leave pitches in the zone for hitters to demolish. The graph isn't perfect, because with such a small sample, one bad inning can skew all the rest of the data.
So, is Bob Geren leaving Blanton in too long? While Blanton has given up 15 runs (12 earned) in the 40 first-through-fifth innings that he's pitched, he has been tagged for 12 runs (all earned) in the 15 2/3 innings that he's pitched beyond the fifth. Blanton's blanked the opponents in four seventh innings so far and given up two runs and one run, respectively, in the other seventh innings he's pitched in. He's had one shutout eighth inning and given up runs in both of the other eighth innings he's pitched in. While he's pitched six shutout sixth innings, he's allowed a lot of people to reach base.
Joe gives up a lot of hits, and almost always has baserunners to deal with. It's hard for me to make any conclusions with this data, other than the obvious ones. Perhaps you guys have some insights.
Let's go back to the subject of strikeouts. With only eight starts in the books, it's probably a bit premature to try to find the reason why Joe isn't striking anybody out. Is it his stuff?
I found an article at THT from February that tries to find the best pitch in the majors in 2007. It's an interesting study, though I'm not sure if it accounts for park effects. According to the study, Joe Blanton had the second-best slider in the majors last year. His changeup was also rated second in the majors, while his sweeping curveball was ranked 15th.
Most pitchers with good offspeed stuff still throw fastballs the majority of the time to keep hitters off-balance. Blanton is no different. He threw his fastball 54.2% of the time last year, and is only slightly below that amount in 2008 (53.5%). His changeups have been slightly more frequent this year than in the past, moving from 15.1 to 16.9. So early in the season, it's fair to say that this could be random variation. His curveball selection has risen from 14.4% to 20.9%.
Last year, Joe Blanton threw his slider 16.3% of the time (567 times out of 3481 total pitches). This year, he has only thrown it 8.7% of the time. In essence, he has thrown the curveball in place of the slider almost half the time. Why has he been so stingy with the sliders? Could the lack of second-best-in-the-league sliders have anything to do with his dangerous decline in strikeouts?

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
1967 Ford Mustang Notchback - Distant Thunder
Mike Akers Built His '67 Terlingua Clone As A Tribute To Trans-Am Driver Jerry Titus
In 1967, protests about the war in Vietnam began, three American astronauts died in Apollo 1, and President Lyndon Johnson announced he would not seek reelection. The Mustang was completely redesigned, and Ford won its second manufacturer's title in two years within the burgeoning SCCA Trans-Am series. While the passage of 36 years has erased many of those recollections, others lay dormant in yellowed newspaper clippings and faded pictures. Mike Akers of Lebanon, Virginia, has brought some of the memories back to life with his stunning Trans Am replica Mustang.
While there may be many reasons why Mike remembers 1967, car enthusiasts remember it as a time when the Trans Am ponycar wars began to heat up. Names like Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, Mark Donohue, and Peter Revson were regulars on the circuit that year. NASCAR drivers like Cale Yarborough and David Pearson made appearances too. At the center of Ford's championship efforts that year, however, was a young driver named Jerry Titus, who had made his first start at the end of the '66 season. Titus won that race and went on to win four more in 1967. After starting the next season with an overall win at the 24 Hours of Daytona, Titus got behind the wheel of a Pontiac Firebird, but would never enjoy victory again. He was killed during a race in 1970 after his steering failed.
"There were a couple of reasons why I decided to build the car," Mike says. "I was looking at the Shelby American Registry when I read an article about the Terlingua Racing team. There was something that kept me going back and reading it over and over. About a year before, I had purchased a nice notchback. Then a friend of a friend called saying that he'd heard I was thinking about building an SCCA notchback race replica. The gentleman said he had some old pistons, heads, intake, and valve covers from an old Trans Am race car. I was later able to determine that the parts were authentic and came from a car Parnelli Jones drove in 1970."
Mike built his car with a six-point rollcage that ties the front and rear subframes together while also providing protection for the driver. Stewart-Warner gauges fill the basically stock driver's compartment. The car was painted in the Terlingua paint scheme with Jamaican Yellow and black accents.
Improvements to the suspension include relocated A-arms, revised spring rates, and a 1-inch sway bar. Traction Master traction bars help secure the Detroit Locker rear, which houses 3.70 gears and 31-spline axles. American Racing 15x7 rims hold Goodyear rubbers with 205/60R15s on the front and 235/60R15s on the rear.
S&G Machine in Bristol, Tennessee, put together the engine, which uses a 302 R-block from Bud Moore's shop in South Carolina. The bottom end uses an Eagle crank with H-beam rods mounted with 13:1 Roush pistons. Valley Head Service prepped the vintage Boss 302 heads with valves that are orchestrated by a Crane flat tappet cam. Topping off the assembly is an aluminum intake with a single Holley 650-cfm carburetor.
"As I was building the car, I went back to different books to learn all I could," Mike continues. "The Trans-Am race at Green Valley really stood out in my mind. Titus rolled the car during practice the day before the race, and it appeared to be a total loss. That night, the team worked on the car at a local Ford dealership's body shop, and they were ready to race the next day. During the race, the side vent window had not been replaced, and as a result, Titus suffered terribly from the heat throughout the day. At one point, Titus came into the pits so one of the crew could throw a bucket of water on him. He came back in again, and the crew cut a hole in the car's roof to act as a vent. Later on, Titus came in a third time and passed out completely from the heat. Another driver took over and finished Fifth. What a fierce competitor! This is when I made the decision to build this car. It's a tribute to a great driver."
We think Jerry would have approved.

- Friday night I was in bed by 8:47pm.
- I am trying reallllly hard to get into The Hunger Games, but it's too sci-fi'ish for me.
- Saturday I had big plans to do a double class: Pump, then Combat. It all went to shit when I woke up at 10:00am. It quickly became an impromptu day of rest.
- Saturday evening involved meeting my friend Amie's new baby, Zak. He was little, and perfect. Motherhood suits her well. She's a complete natural. Not to mention, when I first saw her I actually forgot she had a baby. She looks completely like herself... lucky!
- Saturday night was Sens vs Pens. Enough said. It appeared that Sid's vagina was in good form though.
- Sunday started with the good intentions of going to spin at 10:00am. I know I write frequently about the ridiculous "first come first served" policy at Goodlife, but it's a real piss off. I was #16 in line. There are 24 bikes. Should have been a shoo-in, right? WRONG. I went to the far side of the spin room, only to discover all the bikes were full. By the time I fought the crowds to get back to the other side of the room all the bikes were effing full. I AM SO SICK OF GETTING SCREWED OUT OF A SPIN BIKE! I realize I just need to grow a set and start removing towels/water bottles. That would end my problem. It also might start a war. You think I'm joking, but I'm not.
- I killed an hour by having a Starby's, then went back and did Pump/CX Worx. Can't walk down the stairs today. Hurts so good!
- I spent the rest of my day in sloth mode which involved banana popsicles and 6 episodes of The Killing. It's addictive.
It's Monday. Frig.

A rolling meth lab was busted in Cuyahoga Falls late New Year's Day.
A Cuyahoga Falls Police K-9 Officer made a traffic stop on a Ford Explorer on 21st Street at Byrd Avenue around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
As soon as the Explorer stopped, the passenger in the front seat fled on foot from the vehicle. The officer immediately ran after the suspect and after a short chase, the officer slipped on some ice and cut his eye.
The officer then returned to the stopped vehicle and the driver was detained. The driver was found to be driving while under suspension and Sudafed products were found in the vehicle.
After back up officers arrived, the K-9 tracked the passenger suspect to the back yard of 2524 23rd Street. The K-9 made the apprehension and the suspect, Mark D. Teets, received a dog bite and was taken to Summa Western Reserve Hospital for treatment.
Officers on scene found an active meth lab in the rear of the Ford Explorer. The lab was dismantled by the CFPD Narcotics Unit and the Summit County Drug Task Force.
George D. Beech, 43, was charged with driving under suspension and improper change of course.
Teets, 28, was charged with illegal manufacture of drugs, illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for manufacture of drugs, criminal tools, resisting arrest and obstructing official business.
The arresting officer was treated by Falls EMS and was later checked at Summa Western Reserve Hospital for minor injuries sustained from the fall.

When the first day of a festival is also the hottest day of the year, spirits are going to be high.
Two Door Cinema Club has cancelled their headline performance at the Latitude Festival.
Summer music festivals are as popular as holiday camps for families these days – and after a weekend at Cornbury Festival, it's easy to see why.
A band with a message to spread are coming to east London's Lovebox Festival to entertain audiences with their unique sound.
We sent three reporters to review this year's Wireless festival in Finsbury Park. This is what they said...
The giants of rock, metal and pop descended upon the Royal Park to put on some of the most anticipated shows of the year.
If you didn't get a ticket to Arcade Fire's gig at British Summer Time in Hyde Park last night then sate yourself with these amazing pictures which show the superstar band in action - just days after their headline performance at Glastonbury.
Calling Festival - the re-branded Hard Rock Calling event - takes place in Clapham this weekend, and the line-up includes Stevie Wonder, Aerosmith, Paloma Faith and Jack Johnson.
Dougie Poynter, of supergroup McBusted, says he can't wait to hit the stage as the band prepares to perform at Barclay Card Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park.
Set in rainy Manchester it came as no surprise that it tipped it down for Parklife.
Field Day has always had something of a split personality; mixing as it does cutting edge music (and haircuts) with an atmosphere akin to that of a village fete.
Most recognisable for his playfully geeky glasses, Alexis Taylor cuts an unlikely figure among pop's glossy major players.
First Aid Kit join Robynn and Lykke Li to help form an impressive Swedish contingent at Latitude this year, we caught up with Johanna and Klara Soderberg ahead of their third appearance at the festival.
Doves guitarist Jimi Goodwin also joins the bill with debut solo album Odludek
Comedy has become a popular staple at a number of festivals across the country. We speak to stand-up comic, actress and regular TV show panellist Sara Pascoe ahead of her performance at Latitude.
It might not seem very glam to be stuffing your face at a service station, but when you're a rising star with a shed load of gigs in the offing, eating on the hoof is the reality.
Thousands of devoted dance music lovers braved the downpour and descended onto Damyns Hall Aerodrome for the second incarnation of We Are FSTVL.
You might not have heard of London-based four-piece Teleman yet. But in the coming months, when the band will release their debut album Breakfast and perform at popular festival the Secret Garden Party, all that is bound to change.
Festival fashion this year is all about big prints and celebrity style.

VIDEO: Slow Food Youth Network USA's Disco Soup
United States
07 May 14
The Disco Soup – the trademark event of the Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) - is catching on around the world! A high-energy event, young volunteers come together to cooking a giant soup from vegetables destined for the dump. In the USA, students from three U.S. states - New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts – saved 1,000 pounds (around 450kg) of leftover crops from farms and used it to cook up 120 gallons (around 540L) of soup for local food banks, all to the beat of a live disco band.

|My dearest Friend
|Philadelphia January 5. 1796
There is a dead calm in the political Atmosphere, which furnishes no Event worth relating. The House of Reps is wholly taken up with two worthless Agents of Corruption.
I have this day however heard News that is of some Importance. It must be kept a Secret wholly to yourself, One of the Ministry told me to day that the President was solemnly determined to serve no longer than the End of his present Period. He mentioned Such Circumstances of solemn Asseveration as left him no room to doubt. Mrs W. said one thing to me lately which seemed to imply as much. Others, Men of the first Weight, I find consider the Event as certain.—You know the Consequence of this, to me and to yourself. Either We must enter upon Ardours more trying than any ever yet experienced; or retire to Quincy Farmers for Life. I am at least as determined not to serve under Jefferson, as W. is not to serve at all. I will not be frightened out of the public service nor will I be disgraced in it. You will say that he will be over persuaded—You know what Jerremy said of Elijah. "His poor soul would have no chance for salvation for he had sworn most bitterly,"
The Weather is mild as last Winter—No snow No frost—Farmers may plough.
I received Yesterday your favour of the 27. Who Randolphs four mighty Men were, I know not. I am much mortified to reflect that I ever had any Opinion of that Creatures head or heart.

CRIME ALERT: Peggy Gaytan was killed at a Tulsa convenience store in 2011, search for killer ongoing
TULSA - It was three days before Christmas in 2011, and Peggy Gaytan was just about to wrap up her shift at a midtown convenience store.
Peggy was probably anxious to get home. Those who know her say Christmas was a special time of year for Peggy.
"She had her tree decorated and presents she had wrapped for her granddaughter," said Jennifer Harmon, a frequent customer and president of the neighborhood association that the convenience store lies within.
But Peggy would never make it home that night.
As she prepared to close the store, two men appeared outside.
Police don't believe Peggy ever saw them.
"She was doing some inventory behind the counter," said Jill Roberson, with the Tulsa Police Department. "She didn't even look up."
2NEWS obtained exclusive video of what happened inside the store.
It shows one of the men walk in, fire two shots at Peggy and walk right back out.
For more images of the suspect, click on the photo slideshow above. If you're reading this on your phone click this link http://bit.ly/peggygaytan to see the images.
RELATED STORY, 12/23/11- Midtown convenience store clerk shot and killed (http://bit.ly/18vQVAs)
RELATED STORY, 12/13/12 - Still no leads in 2011 holiday murder (http://bit.ly/105wzJy)
Peggy died, leaving police to search for the killer. Her family was devastated.
"She wanted to work, to make a living, for herself, for kids, her granddaughter," said Greg Gaytan, Peggy's ex-husband.
Tulsa police say finding a suspect in the case hasn't been easy, even though the store has multiple surveillance cameras.
"This has been a case that's really pulled on the heartstrings of the Tulsa Police Department, our citizens and our homicide detectives," said Roberson.
Police believe it was a robbery gone bad.
They hope someone may recognize the suspect's bright white shoes.
Until someone does, her family and friends will maintain the makeshift memorial outside the store, waiting for the day there's justice for Peggy.
"It's just a matter of time," said Harmon.
Police say they're looking for a black male suspect.

BOSTON, Nov. 15, 2012—As part of an ongoing effort to reduce child fatalities in Boston and Suffolk County, District Attorney Daniel F. Conley will speak about infant safe sleep practices with a group of expectant mothers, health workers, and community members in Roxbury next week.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the leading cause of death of infants between 1 month and 12 months of age. Half of all sudden, unexpected infant deaths are attributed to SIDS, with even higher rates seen among some minority groups. While the cause of SIDS is still unknown, health experts recommend using safe sleep practices in efforts to reduce SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths.
The safest way for a child to sleep is on his or her back in a crib or bassinet free of toys and with no loose or soft bedding, such as pillows, blankets, bumpers, and sleep positioners. Sharing a sleep environment with an adult is dangerous for an infant, and the risk is even greater for children under 3 months. Parents can further reduce the risk of SIDS by making sure all of a child's caregivers – including babysitters and grandparents – know the safest way for a child to sleep.
On Nov. 21, Conley will speak before the Boston Healthy Start Initiative Consortium Meeting to help educate parents – especially first-time parents – about the best habits to keep infants safe. He will also distribute magnets, door hangers, booklets, and flyers with information on safe sleep practices that have been provided by the National Institutes of Health's "Safe to Sleep" campaign.
The event, which will also include speakers from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Mayor's Health Line, will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at New Academy Estates at 2908 Washington St., Roxbury. Area residents and members of the media are invited to attend.
"As district attorney, my job reaches far beyond prosecuting the perpetrators of crime," Conley said. "It's also my responsibility to help ensure safety of all our community residents, especially for those who are most vulnerable, such as infants. As a parent, I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a child, and I don't want any other parent to suffer that loss."
The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office chairs the county's Child Fatality Review Team, which reviews the deaths of all minor county residents that are not attributed to natural causes. The group is one of 11 local review teams and one state team that are responsible for identifying ways to reduce preventable child deaths.
In Massachusetts alone, 40 to 60 sudden, unexpected infant deaths are reported each year. Local child fatality review teams have found many of the deaths occurred when a child was in an unsafe sleep position.
"Taking simple measures to ensure that an infant is sleeping in a safe position and in a safe place could prevent one of the most painful tragedies a family will ever suffer," Conley said.
Tips for safe sleep practices:
• Infants should sleep on their backs every naptime and every night.
• Always place a baby to sleep in a crib or bassinet. Adult beds, couches, and chairs are not appropriate sleep surfaces.
• Make sure there are no toys or soft bedding in the sleep environment. Soft bedding includes blankets, pillows, crib bumpers, and sleep positioners.
• Avoid tobacco smoke, both while pregnant and after a child is born. Exposure to smoke increases the risk of SIDS.
• All potential caregivers should be instructed on safe sleep practices, including babysitters, childcare providers, relatives, and friends.
• Bed-sharing is dangerous for infants, especially those under 3 months and when the adult is sick, unusually tired, or has taken alcohol, prescription or illicit drugs, or a medication causing drowsiness.
All defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more children are injured in baby walkers than with any other nursery product. The accidents happen even when a caregiver is nearby. Almost all of the victims are children under 15 months of age. Most of the injuries are caused by:
In an activity center, your child will be protected from most injuries associated with baby walkers. Some activity centers are stationary; others allow your child to walk within a limited area.
It is important to buy a new walker that has safety features to help prevent falls down stairs. However, it is not possible to find a product that is safe in every situation. Therefore, it is very important to follow all safety instructions on the warning labels.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - An annual fundraiser held in Eau Claire is in need of
a new organization to help it continue running.
Taste of
the Valley is held each year in downtown Eau Claire's
Phoenix Park. The United Way recently announced it would no
longer partner with the Eau Claire Press Co. to put on the event. The
non-profit group says the time they spent organizing the event could be better
"We have a
responsibility to our donors to make sure that we're doing the optimum in
investing back to the community, and utilizing the hours that we spend. In this
case, it didn't merit the hundreds of hours of management," said James
Peters, Director of Marketing for United
Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley.
The Taste
of the Valley began back in 2007 under the name Taste of Eau Claire. This
year's event raised over $7,000.

These guys broke down their brackets on the last half of the show. Both had a big east bias. One of the hosts is a featured expert on pickfactor.com http://smcradio.com/sports-syndicate-31813/
It's almost football season, which means you probably are wondering what to do for all of those fantasy drafts you are about to participate in. Well, SB Nation has a Fantasy War Room every night until the start of the season from 6-10 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and from 4-9 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday. After the season, the Fantasy War Room will continue to be the place to go for help on handling injuries and other roster moves. So, if you're stuck on who to pick and want some expert advice, you now have a place to go!
Just as I was wrapping up a post building my own brackets for these events, I see ESPN released a whole bunch of early season event fields today. I've used my lunch hour to update the Early Season Events page. And I'll have to rework my post to something more retrospective next week. Lots of interesting nuggets in these brackets, most notably that ESPN has included non-bracketed games for its events on the printable brackets.
The Wheel O' Conference Realignment has taken yet another turn. The Terriers leave the America East, where it was a charter member. Holy Cross now has a convenient travel partner in the now nine-team loop. The Conference Changes for 2013-14 page is now updated with this info. Read more about this at Unranked America East.
UNC Asheville slides in to replace Southern Mississippi, who was listed in previous lineups. N.C. State will be a heavy favorite in this one, but watch out for Tennessee. I've updated the Early Season Events page with this info and a few other minor nuggets that have popped up over the past few days.
VCU to Atlantic 10 is all but official now. The university has a presser scheduled for 1:30 p.m. and the conference has one set for an hour later. I've updated the Conference Changes for 2013-14 page with this info. Update: CBS's Brett McMurphy (who else) says this move is effective for THIS fall. So the Conference Changes 2012-13 page received an unexpected update. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but between work and moving, I haven't had a ton of time.per Tim Pearrell of the Richmond Times-Dispatch
I'm updating this as quickly as I can based on new information. Today, I've moved Charlotte, UTSA, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, and FIU to Conference USA, reducing their soon-to-be former conferences in kind. As for Old Dominion ... well, that's a different story entirely. The Monarchs have yet to commit. When they do, I'll move them, and wait for the next set of dominoes to fall.
The parade of conference realignment press conferences continues on Friday with the official announcement of the Spartans' and Aggies' move. I've updated the Conference Realignment For 2013-14 page yet again with this info.
Mike Rutherford has more over at SB Nation. The Conference Realignment for 2013-14 page is updated with this news, along with Texas State's move to the Sun Belt. More info will be added as moves, especially in the A10, CAA, C-USA, and Mountain West, are made official.

We have alot of love here on BlazersEdge. Jerryd Bayless (JBay), Summer League MVP, he gets the love. BRoy seriously threatens records for manlove. Even Sergio gets the love. Where is the love for Rudy?
by dvcastle on Jul 28, 2008 2:21 PM EDT: "Allow me to echo "Jorga"'s concern about Rudy: not only did Brandon leave him out of the conversation, so has Nate, KP and any local writer."
That concern has me wondering about my early assessments about Rudy being PritchSlap Numero Uno. How good is this Spaniard? Should I be as excited as I am to see him in Blazer gear?
