Hi, I'm a Polish writer of dark fantasy. Since English is not my firsth language, please forgive some mistakes I can make. One of my book has been published by Devine Destinies, two others waiting in line for publication. To calm You down, they have been edited by a professional. Below I would like to present You short parts of two stories. I can't present You a whole story for the contract doesn't allow me to do so. Book "Dark children of Naor", story "The Burden of Inheritance". www.devinedestinies.com/dark-children-of-naor/ When they arrived, the sun's rays had already gained intensity burned them both. If not for the breath of wind, it would have been unpleasantly hot. The view shocked them all. On the rolling pasture lay about fifty dead cows, calves and young bulls. They were torn to pieces, and the grass and the ground beneath were red with blood. Bloated intestines and scraps of meat were splashed between the corpses. The nauseous smell of gore was mixing with the sharp, sour contents of the ripped bowels and feces. The dead bodies covered a large space. Between them or over them, the surviving cows scattered wildly. The Prince's people tried to catch the surviving animals. They managed to drive a few of them into small hollow at the edge of the forest, which had formed something of a natural coral. The peasants hobbled them, so the animals couldn't run away again. They were so frightened that any small thing would cause a panic among them and set them off again. The wounded cattle were finished off, and the butchers, who had followed with their gear and wagons went to work butchering and storing any meat suitable for preserving with salt. Geyden watched the remainder of the massacre, stone faced. He said with the bitter irony, as he jumped to the ground. "He had great fun." Nayana knew he still spoke of the dragon as if it were a man. He took the horse to the stream flowing alongside the pasture, where the mounts could quench its thirst. "He kills like a wild wolf," she said continuing to look at the surroundings in case he lurked. "Because his heart is like the heart of a wild wolf." Nayana looked at the man. He seemed to control his agitation with great difficulty. He clenched teeth in such way that the muscles clenched in his jaw. "That dying peasant," she dared to say. "He knew you, sir." He twitched when she said these words, but he didn't look at her. "I can give you my noble word that I've never seen that man before." "However, the sight of you moved him, sir." "People on the border of two worlds can see different things" he replied coldly. She didn't understand his words. "I only want to understand the situation I am in," she informed him openly "I want to know if I can trust you." He probably hadn't expected such a reaction from her. For the last few days, she'd been almost submissive to him, shamed by her ignorance and desire to learn more about the dragons. Now she was herself again, a strong woman, and independent warrior. He brushed off her question with the meaningful silence. While the horses drank their fill, Geyden looked around their surroundings. His face, like the day before, became the face of a hunter, sniffing the game. "He's there," he said, pointing to the south. "How do you know, sir?" "I've been chasing him for so long, I've begun to know him." Before Nayana could ask any further questions, he moved in the direction he'd indicated. They passed through the forest until they reached another lush, expansive pasture. It was very similar to the previous one. Wide, rolling hills dotted with a few sparse trees which the shepherds hid under on hot days. There was the dragon on the highest hill. The joint of a cow he'd snatched from the place of the massacre and was being devoured heartily. With the huge jaws, he easily crushed the bones of his victim, which cracked at the accompaniment of deaf crunching of dried twigs. Bewitched by the spectacle, Nayana, gaze was fixed on the dragon. He was the same dragon who'd murdered her sister. With every move his dark-green scales along his back, flashed red and sparked on the sun. On his spine, he had bright, bone ridge, which the beast could raise according to the will of their owner. Rather small, in comparison with sizes of the body, the head was perched on the long, shapely neck and had ornaments like red fans covering the ear's holes. Well-muscled front and back legs were supplied with long, light gray claws that ensured speed as well as lethal weapons when the brute clashes with an opponent. The long, muscular tail had a thin and flexible tip, which he used like a whip. Book "Evil children of Naor", story "The silence of Kurgans": This book is waiting in line. www.devinedestinies.com/evil-children-of-naor/ Jansemi's uriad, a short and stocky but very tough steppe horse, skilfully made his way through the snow. She was absolutely sure that the animal, relying on experience and instinct acquired from hundreds of generations before him, was choosing a sure footing for his hooves. She was certain that they wouldn't fall into a rift covered with snow or drown under the ice of a small pond. The winter was already coming to an end, but the snow was still lying in a thick layer over the steppes. However, it didn't seem to make any impression on the horse; he kept clearing his way through the snow with his wide chest. A long and thick fur coat protected him from the cold and frostbites, wide hooves prevented him from sinking into the duvet of the snow, and strong legs and a strong muscular body enabled him to move forward. When they were riding on open plains, where strong winds blew and the snow barely reached the horse's pasterns, they had been able to move at a trot, but for most of the journey they had travelled at a normal pace. Just ahead of her rode a pack horse without a rider, which was being led by her uncle. The animal was mainly carrying her things on its back; she'd been using them for the last six months of winter. Now she was wearing the trousers made especially for horse riding, a few shirts, and a jacket with fur lining. She pulled on the hood to protect her head from the cold; it was trimmed with wolf's fur, similar to her uncle's pointed and long-eared hat. She had rubbed fat onto her whole body to protect her skin even more. Thanks to that she felt warmer, and her skin didn't crack. She didn't mind its smell, though only few days ago she had sprinkled her body with fragrance. Her uncle rode ahead, leading the way. He was a man trusted by Jansemi's father, the chief of the Isher clan, which belonged to the Elmorian people. Ages ago, Elmorians had been a mighty nation, living in a wonderful empire stretching over the Elmor and Tinakor steppes. However, as legend had it, one of its masters angered the god Palimir and he made the Elmorian people entirely dependent on the Damarian Empire in the west, making them his vassals. Since that time, Elmorians couldn't unite again and were forced to pay rent to their superiors in gold, horses, silk or seneuri shells. However, there was still hope. According to the bards and priests, the one who could appease Palimir and rule the Elmorian people was to be born soon. Her uncle pointed at a snowy hill ahead of them on which the remains of walls, towers and palaces resembled skeletal ruins. "There's Sarmediria." "I know. I've been there once." He turned to look at her without stopping the horse. "When? We've never ridden this way." "When I was a child, Aunt Arnev took me and Unkuri to show us the might of our ancestors." "It's a cursed place. It was destroyed by demons." She burst out laughing. "Those are fairy tales used to frighten naughty children." He didn't reply, but turned to inspect the safe road in front of them. As late afternoon arrived, he started looking for a place for them to rest for the night. Dense thickets covered the nearby hill, making it stand out in contrast to the heavy snow. The fast-falling dusk blurred their vision, and they were unable to see if there were any other footprints. The humans could be not the only ones who wanted to look for shelter here. Wolves, jackals, lions, leopards, shaggy rhinoceros and big deer kutubu often looked for protection from the cold night winds. The herbivores could be as dangerous as the other predators when they felt threatened. Jansemi and her uncle didn't expect the dragons because, in the winter, those reptiles preferred to stay in the mountains. However, not all dragons were alike, and Jansemi looked upward every now and then, expecting to see their familiar shapes against the darkening sky. Her uncle gave her the pack horse's rope and told her to stay a bit behind, pulled out his bow and made sure his javelin was situated so that he could reach it at any time, and then prepared to strike as he made his way towards the thickets. Despite the bad visibility, Jansemi could see the dim outlines of a number of black birds flying around. Ravens. Their nervous flight patterns, noisy cawing and mid-air fighting told her they were fighting over some food they had found, and that the carcass was probably in the thickets themselves. The birds were also behaving boldly, which told her there weren't any predators around to scare them off. Her uncle moved nearer to the bushes, avoiding the dark shadows she could now see lying in the snow. He slowly dismounted, and she could see that he looked confused. He stared at the carcass for a little too long, which told her that he suspected this was not an ordinary body. Jansemi tapped her heels on the horse's side and slowly moved closer. She immediately understood her uncle's puzzled expression: two bodies were lying by the bushes, a few strides from each other. She could see that they were two male riders from a neighbouring clan. Their horses had long since run away, and the wind had nearly covered up their tracks. Deaths weren't anything unusual here, especially in the winter. Careless wanderers could freeze, or else get attacked by predators or enemies from other clans. However, these hunters appeared to have died differently. Jansemi had seen bodies brought back from the fields of war, but these two were nothing in comparison. Their stomachs were torn and their skulls split open. As she squinted to see more clearly in the fading light, she noticed that their livers, lungs, stomachs and brains were also missing. The ravens were now pecking out the muscles exposed by their deep wounds, and three of them were standing inside to the broken skulls. Her uncle shouted, waving his bow to frighten off the scavengers. They flew a few feet away, but they weren't going to leave their find. They cawed defiantly, glowering with eyes as black as tar and cocking their heads fiercely. "For Palimir's arrows," she whispered. "What animal could do this?" Her uncle was now pacing, walking back and forth between the bodies. "This wasn't done by an animal. A predator would eat everything, not just a few specific innards here and there… it's the same with both victims." Jansemi stared at the bodies from her horse. It hadn't rained for three days, and the wind had only partly covered up whatever tracks remained. Snow had piled up next to the bodies, stained orange and red with blood. However, only the tracks of people and horses could be seen. She left the pack horse and directed her own uriad a few steps closer, then turned around the bushes. It was there that she saw the tracks of another human. They were small, probably belonging to a woman. She was wondering why neither of the men had given her a horse. Maybe they only had two saddled horses and were taking turns riding? She thought. She followed the tracks and saw that they led away from the dead bodies. "Someone probably survived," she said quickly. "She will die without a horse. We should follow her." Her uncle walked up to her. "They've been lying here for at least three days. If she hasn't been found by now, she's most likely dead." "We should follow her…" Her uncle directed the horse to the bushes and seized the rope of the pack animal. "It will get dark soon, and we don't have shelter yet." They knew it wasn't a good idea to stay near the bodies. The corpses could draw predators, and they both would feel uneasy in their vicinity. Jansemi felt that something terrible had happened here. The steppes seemed to be full of evil spirits and demons. It wasn't in the Elmorians' customs to leave lonely wanderers on their own, but for now they both felt that they should follow their own path. They stopped to rest only when they had rode far enough away from their dreadful find. Their camp consisted only of a small bonfire in the hollow they had found; they didn't even bother to set up a small tent. "What could have killed them? Why didn't I see the tracks of the predator?" Jansemi asked, refusing a slice of a dried meat her uncle tried to give her. "Many years ago I saw similar corpses. I was told that it was a vogun's prank." "The demon of a mummy?" Her uncle put the slices of dried and raw meat to his mouth, chewing them slowly. "A vogun eats the organs of the recently deceased the same, which are taken out of the body during the mummification process." "But we don't act like this. We don't eviscerate the bodies of the dead—" "Damarians and their minions act like this." "But their tombs are too far. It's impossible that one of those demons came all the way here." "There are vaults in the Damarish minion's forts where they hide the dead. If the demon stirred in one of them, he would attack the garrison from the inside. But nothing like that happened. At least, I haven't heard of such events lately." "Did you kill that vogun… at the time?" He shook his head. "The attacks had ceased… until now." "What do we do now?" "We will be on the alert. Our horses will also alert us. My Inrei is vigilant," he said proudly, looking over at his steed.
My opinion Finished reading. Fine collection of short novel length. Each one different but with intersting and well constructed plot. Great job! Looking for the next release
I'm happy you've enjoyed my stories. This is very important for me. When my next book? I hope in few weeks. I'm still new author and have to wait for edit. But I am an optimist.
read it !!! Great stories with surprising endings. Interesting idea of publishing few novels in one book.
"Dark children of Naor is also recommended by Phase 5 Publishing http://www.phase5publishing.com/aff1.htm
Very good stories. I like the fact that each one is different. I particularly like the female characters in two of the stories. They have strong characters and are able to adapt themselves to the situations in which they have found themselves. Rather than being passive observers in a man's world, they take the initiative, though each one of them is forced to act in a different manner. In the stories, the world reveals its depths, leaving much more than a superficial impression. Rather than simply serving as a dramatic arena for the plot, the described world is quite clearly three-dimensional. The author does not however focus on description, instead inserting appropriate details at fitting moments, enabling readers to imagine the surroundings and places of action for themselves. The dialogues are well-written and enable the reader to explore the mysteries along with the stories' characters. I hope that the author will not limit herself to this one book.

Well guys I started this 8 months ago. Many of you saw the first one running at the Regatta. Big Dave my partner in crime worked with me closely in the development of the cylinder just for this little boat. It uses his custom RCABS-R system and is a fine piece of work.
Also many thanks goes to my friend David Merriman who I learned a great deal from over the years. He was always there when I needed him. And top it off he made the two types of props for the boat as well as deck fittings, scopes, ants and masts. In fact David now has the masters which survived the molding process and he plans to carry on with this kit in the near future.
Basically the build consisted of masters made out of wire cut foam from templates and a card board center section of which all was glassed when to shape. followed by careful preening to produce the hull master. Much like the build on the type 17.
All appendages are made from Alumilite originally carved by hand from PVC and the sail Balsa. Panel lines were achieved by using cart tape and lots of primer over them. Once dry I removed the tape and lightly sanded.
All the hulls were laid up out of West Systems epoxy and glass from a two part silicone mold backed with more epoxy for the mother support mold.
To learn more about it you can go to this link. http://subpirates.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2263
Unfortunately since I changed servers some of the pictures are missing. I backed them up and will replace them soon.
What follows next is to get her wet, trimmed and ready for another one of my videos. This time with clear under water footage as I have a new under water camera.
For now here is a few pictures. Two are near finished. The one in red primer is the hull before painting. Still a bit to do on the paint job. I stayed away from heavy weathering this time due to the fact that these boats seem to be always clean like a new Porsche.
I'll post the video when I finish up this weekend. This is the fun part. It was a long build from scratch. Not an easy shape to make by hand. But I'm pleased.
What's next? I'll think on it.
Enjoy the pictures.

REVIEW: Divergent
I have to say, while leads Shailene Woodley and Theo James (who hauntingly reminds me of a younger Paul Walker) are impressive, this feels like a long (close to 2 and a half hours!!!) "Hunger Games" wanna-be. Like "The Hunger Games", this comes from a popular book series (and thus a new YA, young adult franchise is born) . The "Divergent" book series followed "The Hunger Games" by 3 years.
As with "The Hunger Games", the setting is post-apocalyptic America, where teenagers join tribes based on their virtues: bravery; selfishness; high intelligence. Our heroine turns out to be a divergent, the few who fit into several tribes. Kate Winslet gets to play the villain this time as the tribe leader who is so threatened by divergents, she's out to exterminate them.
Relatively unknown Brit Theo James is a standout as co-star. He is blessed with that on-screen magnetism that draws your eyes on him like a magnet to steel. He is perfectly cast. Shailene Woodley is impressive but pales in comparison to the glorious Jennifer Lawrence in "The Hunger Games". I was actually more impressed with Shailene in last year's coming of age romancer "The Spectacular Now", co-starring Miles Teller, who also joined Woodley in this film as a member of the tribe.
While I'm sure the target audience will easily make this a box office smash, it's just not up to the excellence of "The Hunger Games". "The Hunger Games" was wildly colorful and at times, funny. This is dark, dark, dark and wayyyyyyy too long. At least there's no 3-D to deal with for close to 2-and-a-half hours.
It was great to see Ashley Judd back on screen as our heroine's mom, who has a surprise of her own .
What I like most about "Divergent" is as a coming of ager, it empowers girls. We need these role models, even when fictional, especially after the become-a-celeb-by-doing-a-sex-tape non-role models of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
2 stars

Hi Manette,
You might find this sort of odd, but I'm not what you would call a "Christian" or "Catholic". Yet I've learned so much and grown spiritually through reading and spending time with some incredible Catholic people.
I haven't read the books you mentioned, but I love the work of Thomas Merton. What an amazing man - his work is very deep and poetic. He was a man who knew himself well, especially his "dark side" which sometimes colors his writing. Just keep in mind when reading Merton that he was EXTREMELY hard on himself - I believe he was harder on himself than God ever was - AND he lived an ascetic life. Contemplative life and vocations have unique challenges, and the folks who live that way face a "different set of demons" so to speak. But Merton is top notch!
You also mentioned a book I'll have to read - I never heard of the title. I am familiar with Ignatian theology and was real impressed. The "Exercises" in it's original form can bore you to tears. But if there ever was a practical approach to living a life that serves God and teaches any man or woman how to love and serve our neighbors, St. Ignatius and the Jesuits have one of the best things going that I've ever seen AND experienced. The big thing for me was having "teachers" who were alcoholics and could explain St. Ignatius in a way that I could understand.
For me, it's the EXPERIENCE I've gained by living out some of St Ignatius' suggestions that it's so much more than "boring church dogma". There are so many "universal spiritual principles" available where you're seeking that you can't help but learn how to live and love "in the now" -That is if your mind isn't closed by prejudice against religion or that alcoholic "perverse streak" talked about in the book that rejects just about any concept of a personal relationship with a Higher Power.
Good luck, stay tuned, and thanks for helping me.

Yesterday was another one of those days I barely made it through sober. I have had so many financial problems that I found myself saying that I think my life is getting worse, not better! My sponsor helped me through it via text message and phone but it just ticks me off that I still want to turn to booze in times of stress. Normal people don't do this and that just reminds me that I am not normal. I had to pay a bill right next door to the liquor store and I was at such a crisis point that I just sat in my car and thought "I really want some. What would happen?" Then I drove home to more drama and I just thought 'this is too much. I can't do this. I might as well just drink." Again, I didn't drink but I'[m so frustrated that I still want to drink. Ugghhhh..... It's evening at this point so my husband is already zoned out on his sleeping pills so he might as well be asleep for all he's worth. So I journaled a lot before bed to put thoughts in order and I think it helped. At the very least I will be able to look back on it someday and say "Woah, I sure was messed up back in 2011!"
Today I'm better. I actually got some things resolved last night with the kids I think. So let's hope things improve.
This morning I'm going to do step work with my sponsor. Thanks for keeping me sober you guys!

Lifestyle modification that includes calorie reduction and appropriately prescribed physical activity is the "cornerstone in the control of obesity" in type 2 diabetes, say new guidelines released by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
Published in the March/April issue of Endocrine Practice, the guidelines say that there now is "good evidence" that regular physical activity improves glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes. Under Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, recommendation 22 states: "Patients must be evaluated initially for contraindications and/or limitations to physical activity, and then an exercise prescription should be developed for each patient according to both their goals and exercise limitations."
In addition, people with prediabetes should modify their lifestyle by losing weight if overweight or obese and participating in moderate physical activity (eg, walking) at least 150 minutes per week.

Hawaiian Facial Wash Deep Cleansing Coconut Milk
This is a very standard, but good, detergent-free cleansing lotion for normal to dry skin not prone to blemishes.
Acnedote Deep Pore Wash
This cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid, which is a great ingredient for exfoliation.
Alba Botanica At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; several good cleansers; some good moisturizers; nice lip balms without sunscreen; most of the facial and body sunscreens provide sufficient broad-spectrum sun protection; mineral sunscreens options are available; self-tanner that includes antioxidants for added benefit.
Weaknesses: The natural ingredients in some of the products are natural irritants; jar packaging won't keep air-sensitive ingredients stable; most of the lip balms with sunscreen lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients; subpar toners and exfoliants.
Alba Botanica is part of the Avalon Natural Products group, which is owned by natural product marketer Hain-Celestial. In addition to owning the Jason Natural and Zia Natural brands, Hain-Celestial also owns Avalon Organics, of which Alba Botanica is a part. Although Alba Botanica is not any thinking person's definition of an all-natural line—they use plenty of synthetic ingredients, including sunscreen actives and preservatives—they shine in comparison to the mostly disappointing products offered under the Avalon Organics name, but that's not saying a lot.
As far as the "natural" visage Alba Botanica portrays—while they do use plenty of natural ingredients, for the most part it's the non-natural ingredients that contribute to each product's texture and function; but then highlighting those ingredients isn't going to attract attention from consumers seeking natural products, is it? Because there are no established standards for use of the word "natural," any cosmetics company can take advantage of the term, as Alba Botanica does.
Despite not being an all-natural line (which isn't a bad thing), much of what they offer, while not state-of-the-art spectacular, is still worth considering. The prices are competitive with those of drugstore and health food store brands, and they offer some very good options in the categories of cleanser, scrub, sunscreens for face and body, lip balms without sunscreen, and a self-tanner.
It is also worth mentioning that Avalon Products (remember, Alba Botanica is part of this master brand) is commendable in that it uses environmentally conscious business practices, including solar-powered offices and warehouse and relying on organic farming for several of their ingredients. Their environmentalism may or may not correspond to good skin care, but it is admirable. As we have said many times before, just because an ingredient is organic doesn't make it safe or effective for skin (and there's no proof that an organic ingredient is preferred to a synthetic ingredient when it comes to skin care), but the practice of organic farming is a positive step toward creating products that reduce negative environmental impact.
Turning to what Alba Botanica needs help with, you'll see they fall short of being a comprehensive line. There are no reliable exfoliants such as AHAs or BHA products, and those struggling with blemishes or any type of skin discoloration are out of luck. Also, not every sunscreen (especially those for lips) makes the grade in terms of providing sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients, and some of the toners have truly boring, antiquated formulas. Other less impressive products include the enzyme scrubs, masks, and a few of the jar-packaged moisturizers.
Overall, these products aren't the most advanced around, but comparatively speaking they best many other products from brands with a natural angle (Lauder-owned Origins comes to mind).

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki (大筒木ハゴロモ, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo), known to the world at large as the Sage of the Six Paths (六道仙人, Rikudō Sennin), was a legendary god-like figure who founded Ninshū which led to the creation of the ninja world. He was the son of Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and alongside his fraternal twin brother, were the first to be born with the same powerful chakra inherited from their mother. Both he and his brother defeated their mother, having become the terrifying Ten-Tails, in battle and sealed the powerful beast within him, thus making Hagoromo the first jinchūriki.
[show]Background Edit
Alongside Hamura, Hagoromo, the older twin brother,[4] was born as one of the two children to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a princess who ate the forbidden Chakra Fruit of the Shinju that appeared once a millennium in an effort to gain divine abilities, which she used to put an end to the constant wars during that era. As a result, Hagoromo was born with the ability to manipulate the same type of powerful chakra as his mother. Angered by the fact that her chakra had been spread to others, Kaguya manifested with the Shinju together into the Ten-Tails, which attempted to reclaim her chakra.
The Ten-Tails rampaged throughout the lands until Hagoromo and his brother managed to defeat the beast, with Hagoromo becoming its jinchūriki, causing him to be revered as a god for the virtue of his victory. Researching his mother's technique, Hagoromo was able to free the world from her Infinite Tsukuyomi. Later, with his knowledge of the concept of chakra, Hagoromo travelled across the land, giving chakra to every one in the world as well as spreading his ideals and religion, ninshū, which eventually became the ability known as ninjutsu.[5] According to Jiraiya, his great deeds and ultimate desire to bring peace to the war-torn world made him widely known as the Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no Kyūseishu).[2][6]
Hagoromo's ultimate wish was to establish peace across the world, but it was a goal that would never be achieved in a single lifetime. Knowing this, he chose to entrust his dream and legacy to his two sons, and began to teach them ninshū. The older son, Indra Ōtsutsuki, was acknowledged by Hagoromo as a true prodigy, who quickly began to revel in his natural prowess and became very solitary. The younger son, Asura Ōtsutsuki, proved to be the exact opposite, having shown no special abilities or natural talent, but he pushed on through his limitations, growing stronger and more mature because of his struggles and making friends with others along the way. Hagoromo acknowledged Asura's chosen path, agreeing that love and cooperation were the true keys to peace.[7]
Inspired by his younger son, Hagoromo separated the Ten-Tails' chakra within his body and used his Creation of All Things ability to divide it into nine separated bodies, creating the tailed beasts and giving each a name.[8] As a result of extracting them all at once, Hagoromo was left weakened and incapacitated for several months, though the powerful life force of the Ten-Tails' husk kept him alive.[9] Some time after their creation, the young tailed beasts were told that they were all still linked to one another despite being separate entities. Hagoromo also told them that they would eventually become one again, yet not as they originally were, and that one shall appear at that time to show them what true power is.[10] Hagoromo eventually sealed the husk of the Ten-Tails within the moon.[11] On his deathbed, he chose Asura to be his successor, but Indra, overcome by bitterness and envy as well as being encouraged and manipulated by Black Zetsu, fought against his brother, beginning a war between them that would continue through their descendants.[12][13]
Suspecting that Indra or one of his reincarnations would eventually attempt to take Asura's power for themselves, Hagoromo left behind a tablet detailing his history in an attempt to make them reconsider.[14] Only those who possess the Rinnegan can fully decipher the contents of the tablet, while a reader with other dōjutsu such as the Sharingan can still partially interpret the information.[15] However, unknown to him, Black Zetsu had altered the contents of his tablet so he could manipulate Indra's descendants, the Uchiha clan, through the ages into resurrecting Kaguya and initiating the Infinite Tsukuyomi anew.[16]
Even though Hagoromo died and his body destroyed, his chakra and consciousness remained and traversed the world throughout the centuries.
Personality Edit
Hagoromo was a man who sought peace by spreading his wisdom across the world. He was exceptionally wise, as he was able to bring about a great change to the world by simply disseminating the principles of chakra and his religion. He also seemed to care a great deal for the tailed beasts when they were still with him; he gave them each a name as a sign of their individuality, and told them that no matter how far apart they grew, they would always be together, and would someday be led down the right path.[10] In return, the tailed beasts showed respect and adoration for the Sage. Kurama even shed a tear at the thought of his imminent passing, suggesting that the beasts might even have viewed him as a sort of father-figure.
Upon meeting Naruto, Hagoromo showed himself to be a very patient and composed individual, being unaffected by Naruto's outbursts. He was a very intelligent man, able to methodically learn new forms of study including language and culture.[17] He was also very stern about his teachings being recognised as "ninshū", noting that "ninjutsu" was created for combat unlike ninshū's pursuit of peace, and gripped his staff rather tightly when Naruto failed to distinguish the difference between the two. [18] At the same time, Hagoromo was a very modest man, openly admitting to his personal mistakes and shame as a father and leader. Despite his deified status, he also believed that no one should have more power than any other because it leaves a strong chance of the person becoming arrogant and desire even greater power. After trying to undo the rift he unintentionally created between his two sons, and their respective present incarnations, he ultimately laments that he was unable to repair the damage he caused; as such he put his trust in Naruto only.[19]
Appearance Edit
Hagoromo was a tall and pale-skinned man, who had deep wrinkles in his elderly age. He had spiky, shoulder-length, pale-red hair, with a chin-length braid hanging in front of his left ear. He also sported a short goatee in his younger years which tapered down to his waist in his old age. Hagoromo inherited horn-like protrusions on his forehead from his mother. He had Rinnegan eyes and, much like his brother, lacked eyebrows. He also had a red Rinnegan marking in the centre of his forehead, a light-coloured circle representing Yang in his right palm, and a dark-coloured crescent moon representing Yin in his left palm.
Hagoromo wore a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black (red in the anime) magatama around a high collar, beneath which he wore a necklace which was also made up of six black (red in the anime) magatama. On the back of his kimono was a larger Rinnegan marking with a pattern of nine magatama arranged in three rows of three beneath it.
Abilities Edit
Though not a great deal is known about all of his skills, Hagoromo is widely accepted to be the most powerful figure in history, second only to his own mother, having defeated the Ten-Tails with his brother. Hagoromo came to be revered as a god himself after becoming the very first jinchūriki in history, having the Ten-Tails' great power contained within him. In addition, he was the first man to understand the very nature of chakra itself. Hagoromo's wisdom, combined with his kekkei mōra, the Rinnegan, allowed him to create the original form of ninjutsu, Ninshū. He obtained a great following, as men and women from across the world strove to learn from his teachings. The power of his chakra was later shown to even transcend time itself, becoming able to continue observing the world and meet with people long after his death. It was also stated that Hagoromo's power contains Yin–Yang Release.[1]
Dōjutsu Edit
Rinnegan Edit
Hagoromo possessed a derived form of his mother's dōjutsu; the Rinnegan. He was believed to have been the only shinobi to have fully mastered the Rinnegan, and also learned to control all five types of nature chakra. As a wielder of the Rinnegan,[20] Nagato openly admitted his power with the Rinnegan was nothing compared to Hagoromo's.[21] The Rinnegan grants him the ability to use all of the abilities of the Six Paths Technique.[22] With the Outer Path, he could summon souls from the Pure Land and also undo another person's use of the Impure World Reincarnation, releasing the souls from their vessels and sending them back to the Pure Land.
Truth-Seeking Ball Edit
Hagoromo also had the ability to manifest Truth-Seeking Balls,[23][24][25] which are composed of the five basic nature transformations, Yin–Yang Release[26] and the Six Paths Sage Chakra.[27] He typically wielded a completely black, dual-headed shakujō. One end has a ringed hoop, while the other end possesses a crescent shaped curve, representing the sun and moon respectively.[28] With this malleable chakra, he can also form the holy sword known as the Sword of Nunoboko, which he reportedly used to shape the world.[29]
Six Paths Senjutsu Edit
Hagoromo could also use Six Paths Senjutsu. With this, he could enhance his abilities with senjutsu and had the ability to fly and levitate.
Ninjutsu Edit
Nature Transformation Edit
With the power of his Rinnegan, Hagoromo became the first person to master all five elemental nature transformations. He also obtained the power of the Yin–Yang release. By using his Yang chakra, the essence of physical energy, along with his with Yin chakra, the essence of spiritual energy, Hagoromo had the ability to create form from nothingness with a mere thought to bring it to life. Hagoromo created the nine tailed beasts from the Ten-Tails' chakra by using this ability.[8]
Fūinjutsu Edit
Using fūinjutsu, he was able to first seal the Ten-Tails into his own body, and was later able to seal it away when his life came to an end. Even on his deathbed, Hagoromo was able to employ his Chibaku Tensei technique on a massive scale and use that chakra to create the moon to imprison the body of the Ten-Tails within it, a clear testament to his incredible power. His mastery of this skill also allowed him to brand others with a portion of his powers.
Chakra Edit
Ninshū Edit
A man of great wisdom and power, Hagoromo invented Ninshū as a way to bring peace to a war-torn world, sharing chakra with others as a mean to connect with everyone. He intended for this power to connect all humans and bring forth harmony, however, following his death, humans would use this to widen the rift between them all, turning it into what became ninjutsu.
Bukijutsu Edit
Hagoromo was shown carrying two objects. One was what appeared to be a katana, implying that he was skilled in kenjutsu, whilst the other was a shakujō — a Buddhist ringed staff which is meant to be used in prayer.[30][31]
Treasured Tools Edit
Hagoromo wielded unique tools which became known as the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, each of which possess a unique and powerful ability. The five treasures are: the Bashōsen, Benihisago, Kōkinjō, Shichiseiken, and the Kohaku no Jōhei. By combining the Benihisago, Kōkinjō, and Shichiseiken, Hagoromo could capture the word soul of his victims, and then draw them into the gourd to seal them away. With the Bashōsen, he could generate any of the five basic elements. The Kohaku no Jōhei allowed him to seal anyone without the elaborate procedures used for the Benihisago. All five of the tools requires enormous amounts of chakra to use, which can easily kill an average person by exhaustion, though Hagoromo shows no trouble with this issue.
Part II Edit
Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki Edit
After Yang-Kurama was extracted from Naruto Uzumaki, the legendary sage met within Naruto's mind to speak with him, noting that he felt drawn to Naruto. After the young shinobi grew angry from Hagoromo's philosophical speech, Hagoromo gets to the matter at hand. He begins to explain his family history from his mother to his two sons, to Naruto, which lead him to reveal to the latter, that he is in fact the transmigrant of his younger son Asura. Realising that Naruto had already realised this on some level, Hagoromo also went on to explain that similarly, Indra has repeatedly transmigrated his chakra into others, most recently, as Naruto correctly guessed, Indra's chakra is in possession of Sasuke Uchiha. Hagoromo explained that Indra's previous transmigrant, Madara, sought not only the Sage's power, but that of his mother's, having broken from the normal cycle of life.
As the Sage asked Naruto to stop Madara, Naruto thanked him for his trust, to which Hagoromo insisted that he deserved no praise after his failings as a father and leader as well as having let the world continue to follow the belief of power for peace. Naruto disagreed with Hagoromo being a failure, to which Gyūki, Shukaku, and Yin-Kurama agreed as they appeared inside Naruto's minding, having just been transferred inside Naruto's body by Obito. As the tailed beasts voiced their agreement to Naruto being the child of the prophecy, Hagoromo summoned the other tailed beasts. Admitting to his mistake of solely trusting one son and ignoring the other, Hagoromo entrusted Naruto to help reshape the world for the better. He then asked Naruto what his goal was after the war ended. Simultaneously elsewhere, Hagoromo met with Sasuke, telling him the same story and asking him the same question. Accepting the answers of his successor, Hagoromo transferred his power to the two friends, ensuring he did not repeat the mistake of only entrusting the task to just one. Dividing his power evenly between the two young ninja, Hagoromo gives his chakra to Naruto and Sasuke, which ultimately leads to them awakening the Six Paths Sage Mode and the Rinnegan, respectively.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes Edit
Later on, after Hashirama placed his hand on half of Madara's body, Hagoromo emerges from it in front of the reanimated Hokage, recognising Hashirama as Asura's previous transmigrant. Hagoromo then explains the current situation to the Hokage, telling them of a powerful summoning technique that he is unable to perform now as he gave nearly all his power to Sasuke and Naruto. Unable to act himself, he instead gives instructions to the Hokage.
After sensing his mother had finally been sealed by Naruto and Sasuke, the Yin and Yang marks he gave them reappearing on his own hands, he called the spirits of the deceased Kage to aid him in performing a Summoning Technique to bring Team 7, the tailed beasts, and Madara back from Kaguya's Dimension. Afterwards, he thanks Naruto and Sasuke for saving the world. Hagoromo then thanks Kakashi for effectively leading his students against Kaguya, who humbly says they did most of the work. Sasuke, noticing Madara was still alive, goes to finish him, only for Hagoromo to stop him, saying that having the tailed beasts removed from him without the assistance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path means he will soon die on his own. After everyone says their final words, Hagoromo then sends all the past Kage back to the afterlife.
As plans for the future were expressed, Hagoromo insisted to Yang-Kurama that it return to Naruto's side, to which the fox agreed. Turning his attention to the present, Hagoromo began instructing Naruto and Sasuke on how to dispel Infinite Tsukuyomi. Before any such action even started, Sasuke made his own plans known. Planning to kill the current Kage and take control of the tailed beasts, he then swiftly placed the latter under his genjutsu and sealed them away in his own Chibaku Tensei. Sasuke then explained he wished to reshape the world as it should have been, doing so with revolution. Knowing already of Sasuke's intentions from their last talk, Hagoromo was saddened to see despite his efforts to make things right with his children in a new life, they still ended up fighting each other. Naruto however firmly said he would put an end to this sibling feud. Knowing his time left in this world was nearly up, Hagoromo chose to trust Naruto. Watching as Team Kakashi dissolved once more, he approached Kakashi as he tended to an unconscious Sakura. Citing that the past is there as a reminder, he expresses his confidence that Naruto would be able to transform Sasuke's hate into love. Hagoromo begins to disappear and he tells Kakashi to believe in them, because there was nothing more they could do.
Legacy Edit
It is almost impossible to overestimate Hagoromo's effect on the course of the ninja world's development. As the first true ninja, he created the ninja world, revolutionised it, and left it forever changed. As his disciples grew continuously greater in number, it led to the creation of ninja clans. However, despite his efforts of using ninshū to promote peace through the world, over time following his passing, people began to use chakra as means to get stronger and weaponised this power, deviating away from the true teachings of ninshū and ultimately formed what became ninjutsu.
As time passed, Hagoromo ultimately faded into legend. His bloodline was divided into the descendants of his two children, which would eventually form the Senju clan — and through distant relations, the Uzumaki clan — and the Uchiha clan. As a result of Madara Uchiha acquiring and integrating the DNA of Hashirama Senju into his body, thereby fusing the chakras of Indra and Asura and creating Hagoromo's chakra, the Rinnegan would later resurface. Though he noted nothing happened initially after the DNA integration, when Madara neared the end of his natural lifespan, the dōjutsu finally awakened.[32] With that, Madara managed to undo Hagoromo's seal on the vessel of the Ten-Tails by summoning it from the moon and formulated the Eye of the Moon Plan to become the Ten-Tails' new jinchūriki.[32]
Because Nagato, a pupil of Jiraiya's, possessed the Rinnegan, the latter suspected Nagato to be the reincarnation of the Sage himself.[33] In reality, Madara had secretly transplanted his own Rinnegan into the boy without his knowledge.[32] Nagato, as a descendant of the Senju-related Uzumaki clan, was the perfect host for the dōjutsu; however, Nagato himself noted that his own power would have paled in comparison to the Sage's.[34] Others, including Kakashi Hatake, noted that the Rinnegan was viewed merely as a mutation.[35] The tailed beasts' recognition of Hagoromo (and their apparent status as the only survivors from his lifetime), lended credibility to his existence.[36][37]
Before he died, Hagoromo was told of a prophecy from Gamamaru that a blue-eyed mischievous boy will unite the tailed beasts and change the world, which he relayed to the young tailed beasts. The tailed beasts would all later come to agree that this person is Naruto Uzumaki.[38][39]
Trivia Edit
- Hagoromo (羽衣) literally means feather mantle and is a reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, in which Princess Kaguya is given a hagoromo to wear upon her return to the moon. The surname 'Ōtsutsuki' (大筒木) roughly means 'big bamboo tree' and is derived from an obscure passage in the second volume of the Kojiki about the genealogies of Emperor Suinin, eleventh emperor of Japan, which states that he had a consort named Kaguyahime no Mikoto (迦具夜比売命), the daughter of a king named Ōtsutsukitarine no Miko (大筒木垂根王); tradition holds that these individuals served as the basis for Princess Kaguya and the old bamboo cutter in the aforementioned tale.
- His horn-like appendages may in fact symbolise rabbit ears, representing his connection to the moon by evoking the moon rabbit; pop culture depictions of Princess Kaguya and the moon-folk often incorporate features like rabbit ears for this reason.
- The necklace that Hagoromo wore might be a reference to the Yasakani Jewel; a legendary magatama necklace that is part of the Japanese Imperial Regalia, together with the Kusanagi Sword and the Yata Mirror.
- Hagoromo shares the same nickname with both the First and Third Hokage, who were all known as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami).
- Due to the Gold and Silver Brothers' ability to assimilate Kurama's chakra by eating some of its flesh, the Fourth Raikage suspected them to be distantly related to Hagoromo.[40] The fourth databook confirms this assumption as fact.[41]
- Despite using Truth-Seeking Balls in the manga, he is not listed as a user of the Truth-Seeking Ball in the fourth databook.[1]
Quotes Edit
- (As quoted by Jiraiya) "I am the one who will establish peace and order." (「我安寧秩序を成す者」, "Ware annei chitsujo o nasu mono.")[33]
- (To the tailed beasts) "I don't have long any more. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, Kurama. Even though you have been separated, you shall always be together. Until eventually that time shall come when you will become one… You each carry a name… And with a different shape than you had up to now, you will be shown a righteous path, different from the time you spent inside of me. What is true power… …Until that time…" (「私はもう長くない 守鶴・又旅・磯撫・孫悟空・穆王・犀犬・重明・牛鬼・九喇嘛 離れていてもお前達はいつも一緒だ いずれ一つとなる時が来よう…それぞれの名を持ち…今までとは違う形でな そして私の中に居た時と違い正しく導かれる 本当の力とは何か… …その時まで…」, "Watashi wa mō nagakunai. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, Kurama. Hanarete ite mo omaetachi wa itsumo issho da. Izure hitotsu to naru toki ga koyō… Sorezore no na o mochi… Ima made to wa chigau katachi de na. Soshite watashi no naka ni ita toki to chigai tadashiku michibikareru. Hontō no chikara to wa nani ka… …Sono toki made…")[10]
- (To Naruto) "Not ninjutsu, Ninshū! My Ninshū was created to inspire hope. Do not confuse it with ninjutsu, which was made to create war!"[42]

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova Star Max disc golf disc is a distance driver that is overstable. A great distance disc for strong headwinds and sidearm throwers. Fast with significant glide and predictable in all conditions. Much like a faster Firebird or Monster. Great golf disc for forehand drives. Backhand throwers can use it for anhyzer flex shots and spike hyzer throws. The Max is predictable and dependable into the wind. You can trust your line into the stoutest headwinds.
The Max is designed for more experienced players with powerful backhands or sidearm throwers. The Max can handle the torque of disc golf's most powerful throwers.
It is a great choice for maximum distance, long hyzers, headwind drives, sidearm throws, and intermediate to advanced players looking for a disc that won't flip.
About Star plastic in general - it has the durability of Champion plastic with the superior all-weather grip of Pro plastic. Star discs have the same flight rating characteristics of Champion discs, although some Star Lite discs may be slightly more high-speed stable. Star retains flight characteristics longer than DX or Pro Plastics.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Star colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.
Available in Star, 175 grams, 21.2 cm.
"The Max is a very over stable disc that is good in any weather condition. It has a wide rim that is well-suited for both backhand and forehand throwers. The Max does not fear even the windiest of conditions." - Paul McBeth
"The combination of distance and reliability into the wind makes the Max a must have disc for every pro. For me, it flies like a very long Firebird." - Steve Wisecup
If you want a golf disc with
more Turn, try a Wraith
more Glide, try a TeeRex
Other Speed 11 discs include the Archon, Krait, Mamba, TeeRex and Wraith.

All I can say about this is "Meh". This software is about as useful to Radeon owners as MS-DOS is to a Linux user.
Phoronix: A New Release Of The AMD XvBA Back-End To VA-API
Splitted Desktop Systems has updated their closed-source library that provides an XvBA back-end to a VA-API front-end so that those running the ATI Catalyst Linux driver are able to take advantage of the UVD2 video engine on newer Radeon HD graphics cards...
All I can say about this is "Meh". This software is about as useful to Radeon owners as MS-DOS is to a Linux user.
Anyone know if it finally has support for profiles firstname.lastname@example.com?
Most of the work to create a VDPAU state tracker would be in the video decoding routines. Once someone's written the shaders and SSE code required, it should be relatively simple to wrap it up in either VDPAU or a VAAPI state tracker.
In ArchLinux with the new version i have this error
libva: libva version 0.31.0-sds6
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so
Violación de segmento
xvba-video 0.6.11 works ok.
It really does not matter. VDPAU is designed to be a open API.
VA-API is designed to be a generic API that can be backed by VDPAU or whatever.
But if a VDPAU state tracker exists then that may just end up being a cleaner solution for everybody to use regardless of the video card.

I bought it when it was only one game, it's now three which isn't bad - I'm not sure why they didn't offer the 3 at once though - they'd have probably gotten more interest in the initial rush
Phoronix: It's Not All Roses For The Latest Humble Bundle
Last week marked the start of a new Humble Indie Bundle, but there isn't as much interest among gamers this time around...
I bought it when it was only one game, it's now three which isn't bad - I'm not sure why they didn't offer the 3 at once though - they'd have probably gotten more interest in the initial rush
i think this bundle was some sort of "test" or maybe they were trying to "squeeze" anything left from the old frozenbyte bundle (i think they may had succeeded, since lots of windows users got it this time; not so much for mac or linux, since most got it last time ).
anyway Trauma and space chem are really good / unique and they should had offered them in the beginning...
i will be getting it for those games.
what they need now is new foundations (apart from the ones they already have), like open source ones! (let users decide which get the $)

How can people complain about the Humble Bundle?
It doesn't matter how often they do one or how much games are in.
They give you the chance to pay what you like(!).
Normally those games costs much more. Be happy that you can get if you WANT for a price you think it's worth for you.
If you don't want the games - don't buy it.
Else just pay what you want.
They provide games for money for Mac-Linux-Windows. And you can choose how much it's worth for you.
1 Cent at least.
1 game 1 Cent
5 games 1 Cent
Yeah! Just complain. You want more. And all for free.
But even then. I heard stories where people are given a gift and they complained about it.
(Not just from the last Humble Bundles. Also from outside the computer and the Internet.)
Holy crap!
In what kind of civilization are we living in?
Reminds me of that:
40-50% of freshly produced good food are thrown away BEFORE it even sees a market. There is no need for ANY human being (on earth) to feel hunger.
I've held back on this one for financial reasons but I will get it before it expires. I did warn that they could lose good will if they keep messing around with the concept like this though.
With one game the bundle didn't seem worth it to me, especially since I had already bought the frozenbyte bundle. Now, with the added games, I've finally coughed up the money for the games + bonuses. I'll probably give away the duplicate licenses (i.e. steam keys) to either my wife or a friend.
Usually i do not play many games. The only commercial game I played longer on Linux was Caster 3d (as long as it was in the beta, did not buy it however, but would recommend to do so as it is simple and fun) and bought all humble bundles mainly to verify that the games run on Kanotix. I usally spent 1 $ to buy it, but this time selling only 1 game i only spent 1 cent. It was enough to find out that with Kanotix 64 with X from debian backports i had to write a tiny script that will allow to run the game on snb for example (extract the libGL.so.1.2 from the backported package and replace the one in the lib32 dir). This time you need to register with a unique serial to play online, similar to id games, just there you dont register your serial to a name. I did not like the game much, did not even finish the tutorial. The main reason seems to be to sell the other games again for those who missed the other bundle. But to be fair i would have added the new game to all former buyers of that bundle because it is a bit stupid to buy 2 times the same. The first frozen bundle was a good test for oss drivers however, it seems that noone cared about some opengl features before Trine was out for "mass" market.
I had only got it because of the other games and to donate to Child's Play, I wasn't able to participate in April, and wish I had. The other games in the bundle (if you didn't already have them) certainly appear to be some very good ones. I've played the space chem demo before and liked it (haven't grabbed the full game yet), haven't looked at Trauma again.

A CD-ROM (acronym of "Compact Disc Read-only memory") is a pre-pressed compact disc that contains data accessible to, but not writable by, a computer for data storage and music playback. The 1985 'Yellow Book' standard developed by Sony and Philips adapted the format to hold any form of binary data. CD-ROMs are popularly used to distribute computer software, including video games and multimedia applications, though any data can be stored (up to the capacity limit of a disc). Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of being played on a CD player, while data (such as software or digital video) is only usable on a computer (such as ISO 9660 format PC CD-ROMs). These are called enhanced CDs. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: CD-ROM)
