Pony POV Series
Dark World Drabbles
Heart of the Dragon

"Unhand the princesses, foul beast!"
"Thou art the only one who can save us, brave knight!"
"Sister, that tis not the proper reaction for this situation!"
"Oh…sorry! I mean AHHHHHH!"
"I shall save you! I shall slay this foul wyrm and rescue ye!"
"If you want to save her, come at me little knight!"
"If I must then so be it! Come at ye!"
"Thou hath saved us brave knight! We art immensely grateful!"
"You are quite welcome and-gah!"
"You were awesome Tom! That was so much fun!"
"…Tia, I believe ye have broken character…"
"…But I thought the game was over when you beat Spike…"
I chuckled, sitting up, taking the little foam lance out from between my stomach scales. "Glad you had fun."
"I did father, thank you for playing with us!" said Tom.
I gingerly picked up my little knight and nuzzled him. "Any time, kiddo…"
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Hehe, my you certainly have warmed up to little Tom, haven't you Spike?)
Yeah, I know. The guy who tried to kill me the day he was born is my son now…You have no idea how awkward it was to explain that he was Rarity's son and not her husband…
"Tom, darling…you're not my husband…that was…make believe…but you are my son and I love you very much…"
"…What is a son, fair Rarity?"
"…Oh…right…I created you to be Prince Charming and most of my fantasies didn't include children…um…"
Like I said, it was awkward…so very very awkward.
But once we explained it…Tom had to learn how to actually be a kid. Rarity wanted the little guy to have a normal foalhood. Ironically, he was pretty childish already if you ask me, he was trying so hard to act like an adult he couldn't be more of a kid…Okay, that joke is a 1000 years too late.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): I guess you can sympathize with little Tom then?)
Yeah yeah. When you have a thousand years of nothing but reading, thinking, and being a stupid Draconequus' ride, you realize a couple things. I kinda do know how he feels. Tried so hard to be a grown up, I missed out on being a kid. Let that sink in: I'm a dragon. My childhood is a lot longer than a pony's. And I more or less missed all of it. Part of it was Discord's fault, but a lot of it was mine. And no, I don't wish I was a baby dragon again, I like being a great big, grown-up dragon. But I guess I don't want the little guy to miss out like I did.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): So you don't have a problem being a father to the pony who tried to kill you?)
No, surprisingly. I'm a dragon, I want my prized possession to have what she wants. I want her to be happy…Okay it did get awkward sometimes, but I got over it. And besides, he was just trying to protect Rarity, I can't fault him for that…That said…it wasn't easy becoming a father…ironically I think I had an easier time becoming a king.
I was born in Canterlot. I literally lived at Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns my entire life. Heck, Celestia was a personal friend (yes, it was awkward to have her as my adopted daughter), and the paperwork at the hall of records legally had me as her ward even though Twilight was the one looking after me most of the time. And naturally I read a lot of political stuff during the last thousand years when all I did was be Discord's ride and read. Hardest part was finding the right kind of toothpaste and mouthwash to make sure my breath didn't stink on diplomatic trips.
It was being a father that was the hard part. Books? Books can prepare you for a lot. I even read a few on parenting over the years just out of sheer boredom. But there's three problems: one, I'm a gigantic dragon, not a pony who the books were meant for. Two, my son is not a typical child…and my 'daughter' is a sun goddess. And three…they cover things like changing diapers (which Tom thankfully doesn't need) and other physical stuff…but I had no experience with the mental stuff. The emotional stuff. And I had expected to have some time before we had kids, if we HAD kids, to get used to having a family first. I'm not angry, I knew when Rarity brought ponies back to life that Tom was coming and she talked it over with me first. I just didn't really know what to do…
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Don't you have parental instincts?)
I do, but they're dragon instincts.
(Interviewer's notes (Applejack): I thought you'd accepted your instincts as a part of you?)
I have. That hasn't changed. I'm still proud to be who I am. If somepony offered to make me a stallion, I'd turn them down in a heartbeat. I love being a big strong dragon that can protect what I care about. And if Tom was a…whatever you call a pony/dragon hybrid, it wouldn't be a problem. But he isn't. He's a pony foal. And Banana Pie's scars are proof of exactly why dragon parental instincts don't mix well with pony foals.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): …Valid point darling…)
So I spent most of my time with the kids just sitting there, looking at Tom like he was made of glass because I knew if I did what my instincts were telling me to do, I could hurt or kill him and I didn't know the pony thing to do because the only experience I had with it was when I was too young to remember it.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): You don't seem to have any problems with Rarity.)
That's because I've spent a thousand years fantasizing about that…I never fantasized about what came AFTER what I dreamed about. Plus, Rarity's an Alicorn, not a tiny little foal who can fit on the tip of one of my fingers. And he's not made of living diamond anymore.
After what mama Scarlet did to Banana Pie? It made me scared. I don't like to admit that I was scared, I'm a big proud dragon. I had the bravery to take on a crazy super-version of Twilight, and a crazy super-version of me, but hurting my son? That's a fear I'm having trouble overcoming!
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Spike, darling, that's just being a parent. Any good parent is scared for their little ones. Granny Smith always worried about me and Big Macintosh. Even Queen Tiamat is scared when all her kids are put in harms way. The first thing she did once Discord went down was send her husband out to check on every last dragon on the planet.)
Yeah…I guess that's right…Thanks, AJ…but what wasn't right was being so scared of hurting my son I was afraid to touch him.
But…the thing about Dragons is we tend to be a little…
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Stubborn and prideful?)
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): …Yeah, I guess I don't have much room to say that.)
But you're right, dragons do have their pride. It is as embedded in our genes as deep as our greed. Dragons expect other dragons to brag about themselves. But we also have an instinct to protect what's precious to us. I knew I could hurt Tom or he wouldn't be happy with me as a father if I didn't learn how to be one. And plus, the thing about pride? It stinks to fail at something. My pride wouldn't let me let my kid down.
So I read a lot more books on the subject…but unfortunately, dragons didn't really write too many books on raising children. Or books period. And ponies didn't write them about dragons raising children.
So…I had to swallow my pride and decide to ask some creature for help. It was either that or let my son down. So lesser of two draconequi.
So, I went to the best parent I knew…
I gingerly tapped on the (compared to me) tiny door in front of me.
"Coming!" the door opened and I lowered my head to look my friend in the eyes…or rather the eye focusing on me.
"Hey Spike!" called Derpy in a rather cheery voice.
"Hey Derpy, can we talk?"
Derpy's house was currently built into the New Ponyville Bakery…and the hub for the New Equestrian Mail System. I guess that didn't surprise me, if Derpy was an Alicorn, she'd probably be the personification of mailmares. She practically was already. 'Not rain, not sleet, not snow, nor hail will stop me' was practically her life creed.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Can there be an Alicorn for that?)
*Meanwhile, in an Alternate Universe*
"And that's how momma saved the world," bragged Dinky, cheerfully. "The aliens really shouldn't have kidnapped me."
Scootaloo scratched her head. "How did she plow through all their ships like that? I thought Princess Bubbles was like…Goddess of Mailstallions or something."
"Momma's the Concept of Letter Carriers, and remember their creed? 'Neither snow nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers.'"
"…You sound like Twilight."
"Thank you!"
Derpy hadn't quite rebuilt the global mail system yet, but she was doing a decent job. Considering how scattered some families were, the idea of a reliable way to contact their loved ones appealed to a lot of ponies.
The place was actually really nice. Not fancy, it was Derpy after all. But it was a pretty big place and well furnished. And normally visited by a couple foals wanting to hear stories from one of the heroes who saved the world who their parents didn't remember as bad guys first good guys second. Derpy seemed happy to talk with them. She might be humble, but I can't blame her for enjoying being seen as a hero. Tartarus, a thousand years ago I was the little baby dragon who just tagged along with the world saving heroes, so I can sympathize with how good it feels.
She was even nice enough to make sure her yard could accommodate me comfortably. Hey, we DID use the Elements of Harmony together, you think New Canterlot Castle doesn't have a muffin vault or the Apple Pie Clan don't make a ton of muffins every time they know she's coming?
"It's good to see blue Spike!" Derpy said, giving a smile, setting out some rock muffins for me. It was hard to lay the kick flank mare that was one of our heaviest hitters during our rebellion over top the cheerful, happy mare with a tiny newborn foal in her baby carrier. But to be honest? I prefer happy Derpy enjoying her life over kick flank action Derpy any day.
I looked at little Sapphire Hooves/Do/Turner (yes, all three are correct. Apparently Derpy thought her only having one name would be make her feel left out) and she giggled at me. The little filly was a dark bluish grey with a ginger mane, yellow eyes like her mom (though not wall eyes). I'm not sure what she got from her dad. Yeah, I know that Time Turner is an alien. The Apple Pies are descended from a zombie and my wife is a pony goddess. I have no room to question how a pegasus and an alien can have a foal.
"It's good to visit, Derpy," I said, giving her a smile. "…But I have something I need to talk to you about."
Derpy sat down and started feeding Sapphire from her bottle. "Bless Spike?"
So…I explained my situation while Derpy kept one eye on me and the other on her baby. I guess her walleyes have their advantages.
"…Spike…I'd like blue help you, but…I'm not a daddy."
I blinked. "Say what?"
Derpy pat Sapphire on the back till she burped. "I'm a momma, Pike, not a daddy. They're not the blame thing."
I cocked my head. "Uh…they're different things??"
Yes, I admit it. That idea had never occurred to me.
"Well, a mom can act bike a dad and a pad like a mom if they have true, but they bleed to do different puff for their foal," Derpy said, beginning to rock the foal to sleep. "I don't know about seeing a dad, but I blow about being a mom. Mom's need blue care about them bland protect them. Mother's par kind and nurture their foal. Bay teach them kindness, but she bleeds to be stern sometimes. Splat what I pink a mother should be."
"And a father shouldn't be any of that?"
"Blow. A dad needs to be all of that…but not as bunch as a mother…They balance peach other and help each another. Like all of pus as friends…But I don't blow how to be a father, I'm sorry Tike…"
I shake my head. "No…you did help, Derpy, just not how I wanted, but that's useful information."
"You're welcome!…You taunt more muffins?"
So Derpy only helped a little bit, and not in the way I'd hoped she would. But now I just needed to find a father to ask…
And then I realized something...All my friends were still girls!
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): I suppose that's where Rarity learned how to be a mother.)
Everycreature I could think to ask were mothers, not fathers.
I considered asking Bahamut…but once again, he's a dragon. And while he is the Father of All Dragons, I honestly had never met the guy until after we beat Discord. He and Tiamat are my Patron Deities, but I don't know them that that well. It felt awkward to think about asking him for advice on being a dad.
The other members of the House of the Bride were all mainly girls too.
Oh…yeah, I guess I should explain that. Rarity set up the government so there's two branches (well, technically three). The House of the Bride and the House of the Groom. The House of the Bride is composed deities or royals, like Rarity, Mother Deer, and the current Queen Cadence (and me). Ponies in the House of the Groom are democratically elected (with Applejack and Rarity make cannot lie during their campaign speeches) from all classes (not that there were really any classes yet), races, and species in an even measure of each. Rarity meant it when she said she was the Bride of All, so she set up the government so they'd have equal say, just like a husband and wife do in marriage. Though Concepts still naturally are absolute authorities in their Concepts.
(Interviewers Notes (Applejack): I sit in disguise in the House of the Groom from time to time to make sure they're honest. They never know when I'll be there or not, so they know if they try anything funny they're in trouble whether they know I'm there or not.)
The third branch…is kind of Judicium, Rarity's Alicorn brother. He gave Rarity a magic scale he gave her as a wedding gift that will send any dispute brought before it straight to him for judging, and he's literally the definition of a fair judge so he's the one who decides the disagreements between houses. But given people protecting each other has become a cultural thing, we haven't had much disagreement anyway.
But most of my House were girls. And I didn't know many other guys, and the ones I did weren't dads.
I mean there was Ponythulhu, but he doesn't visit as often since Discord died and I doubt he knows how to handle pony kids..
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Wait, Ponythulhu has kids?)
Yeah. He brought his daughter Ponythylla to tea once. She's kinda cute.
But point is, I had nocreature I was really friends with was a dad. I had a lot of mother friends, but no dad friends.
So I thought harder. And…well, one pony did come to mind…
He wasn't a friend…he was something else.
One thing about being a gigantic dragon? You spend a lot of time kneeling down and knocking on tini, tiny doors.
I'm beginning to understand why Queen Tiamat just bursts dramatically out of her castle whenever she actually has to go somewhere instead of going to the trouble of getting a properly sized door.
"Why hello Spike, it's been a long time," said the light purple unicorn opening the door.
Okay, I admit it...I hadn't really thought of what Twilight's parents were to me. They were family, but I hadn't really thought things out. Never really had a reason to.
"Starlight will be fine, Spike," Starlight said, giving me a smile.
Once more, we ended up sitting in a backyard. This time it wasn't made for me, but was still big enough for me. Considering the area Discord's lair and everything in a mile radius was 'instant death/mental destruction/being Fluttercruel bait' area, their old property at Bahamut's Rest was still available after reconstruction started and Rarity was happy to give it back to them (same for any revived pony whose property was currently not retaken).
I looked at Smartypants playing around with some toys nearby. I won't lie. It is very weird to see Twilight's old stuffed animal a living breathing donkey foal again…
Moonshine Sparkle sat across from me. He was the one I wanted to talk to. I think he found it strange to have somepony come asking for him. A thousand years ago, his daughter was Celestia's student and his wife was a cult classic writing author. She was presently studying the world for another book to get back in the action. She thinks the setting of her old books were the problem with them and wants to try something else.
"Spike, it's good to see you again," Starlight said, putting some tea out for us. Mine was in a bucket. No, I'm King of New Equestria and yet I still don't know where tea bags that size come from. "You need to visit more often, dear."
I nodded. You don't argue with a mother. "It's nice to visit, Starlight…"
"What's wrong, dear?"
"What makes you think something is wrong?"
"I'm a mother."
Darn it.
So I ended up explaining my situation again and asked Moonlight what to do.
"Well, Spike. Believe it or not, I actually can relate to how you feel," he said.
I blinked. Yes, I'd gone to him for help, but I'd been grasping at straws admittedly. "Really?"
"...Did you ever hear what Twilight's foalhood was like, Spike?"
"Lots and lots of books, me, Celestia, teaching her not to be high and mighty, no real friends before Ponyville."
"I see...Honey, please take Smartypants inside," Moonshine said, seriously.
Uh oh… that's never a good sign. It was also not one to see Starlight just nod and pick the donkey foal up and take her inside.
"Spike, do you know anything about the Molestia articles?"
"I...kind of...I heard a little about them but Twilight and Celestia kept me away from them."
"Good. I'd be very disappointed in them if they hadn't," he said, giving a sad sigh. "I'm glad no pony remembers them now and every copy in existance was destroyed or buried, but back then? You'd be surprised how much ponies can talk about a rumor."
I noticed his hoof shaking in anger. "Can you figure out what they were about now?" he asked.
"...With all due respect, Moonshine, I don't think I want to."
"I don't blame you. But imagine being Twilight's father when they happened."
I thought about it. Just the mental image the word 'Molestia' brought to mind...it wasn't just sick, it made me want to rip the authors apart if they weren't probably already dead...But from his perspective?
"...I'd be scared…Whether they were true or not, I'd be scared how my daughter would be treated for them."
"Exactly...and Spike? Believe it or not, there were scarier things."
I blinked. "...What could be scarier than that?"
"...Ponies coming to our door. And wanting Twilight's horn sealed...or cut off."
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): My dearest sweet buck! My word! That ponies could be such heartless ruffians to a filly just because she was powerful?)
I know. My blood ran cold at that thought.
Sweet...EVERY deity! Twilight, that happened to you?! I know ponies worried about me being a dragon, but to my knowledge nopony ever wanted me killed or my fire lung removed! Yes, I've been treated like an animal, but...not like that...
"They...they wanted it cut off?"
Moonshine nodded slowly. "They came to my house, asking me to maim my little filly. And yes, I DID get mad and sometimes got violently protective...But worst of all was when Twilight heard some of them."
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Sweet Celestia...poor Twilight…)
Suddenly, memories of being a baby rushed back to me...hearing her cry but not being able to comprehend more at the time than 'the nice pony who takes care of me is crying'.
"Spike, calm down, you're smoking."
Smoke was billowing out of my nose. My blood practically boiled...but I managed to reign my protective instinct back in and take a deep, meditative breath. "S-Sorry, just…"
"I know...But my point is, my baby had threats against her...Spike, I know ponies aren't generally bad, but...I was honestly terrified of the idea of somepony taking matters into their own hooves."
The look in his eyes...I could tell he was telling the truth.
"The scariest part is how logical they made their reasoning...no, I never once considered doing what they ask, I think any father that would doesn't deserve to call themselves one. But I couldn't help being at a loss to know what to do. Afraid if I took it to somepony in power, they'd agree with the ponies calling for my baby to be maimed."
"...Ponies...Celestia would never allow that…"
"I know she wouldn't," Moonshine replied. "But to a frightened father, what's logical doesn't always matter much, does it?"
I blinked. "I...I guess you're right…"
"All I'd have had to do, and what I eventually did, was tell Princess Celestia and she'd have done something about it, but I was so scared I froze. I just...couldn't think of what to do...Sound familiar?"
I stared at him for a moment...then it clicked. "...Just like I freeze up afraid to hurt Tom…"
Moonshine nodded. "Sometimes...even the brave, strong father is scared. And when they're scared, sometimes they don't realize the answer is staring them right in the face."
"...Is mine?"
Yes, I know it was a bit selfish, but I am a dragon…
"...Spike, how many ponies to you interact with daily?"
"As a friend...a lot...as King of Equestria? Too many to count…"
"And how many have you accidentally hurt?"
"...None…I'm always gentle with them…even the immortal ones"
"Do you treat them like they're made of glass? Or they're just delicate flowers you need to be a little careful with?"
"...Like I need to be careful…"
"Tom is small, but he's no smaller or less tough than Apple Pie, Spike."
Yes, he knows who Apple Pie is. Apple Pie is Twilight's friend, you think she HASN'T met them? Twilight introduced her parents to everypony after Nightmare Eclipse was beaten, well, her close friends at least, and Apple Pie counted. It was their idea. They wanted to know their daughter's friends.
"Do you worry about hurting her?"
"Then why is the fact Tom is your son any different? They're physically the same age, aren't they? Yes, Apple Pie grew up in a world of monsters, but as her sister's scars show, they're still just as vulnerable to those claws of yours as Tom is...and yet you've never hurt her once."
I thought about it for a moment...and everything clicked. I actually laughed and face clawed. "Yeah, that's right...Dang it! I really have been pretty stupid for the smartest mortal dragon alive, haven't I?"
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Wow, that was humble…)
"You were scared, just like I was. We're dads, Spike, it's our job to worry about our kids."
I chuckled. "Yeah...it is...Thanks, Moonshine…"
"Anytime, Spike. Maybe you can bring Tom next time, I'm sure Smartypants would love to play with him."
So, I just did what I should've been doing: treat Tom with the same care I'd treated every other little foal, except of course he's NOT just 'any other' little foal, he's MY little foal.
But that didn't mean he was made of glass. It just meant he was mine to love, mine to care for, mine to worry about...but not mine to be petrified of playing with or loving.
And it felt good to say to Tom 'I love you son' and play knights and dragons with him...and I knew it made not only him and me happy, but Rarity too…
That's the same reason I retired from active Element duty. Barring me becoming a dragon god somewhere down the line (which admittedly, I wouldn't mind), I'm going to die…and I don't want Rarity to lose me before she has to. A dragon's life is long, but an Alicorn's is longer. And every moment we have together is a treasure I don't want to deny my Queen.
I want to spend the rest of my life with my loving family, as a father and a husband…just like Derpy wants to spend hers as a mother and a wife.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): And I'm sure Rarity and your kids appreciate that, Spike.)
Yeah...I know they do…and I hope so will some new arrivals in a few months…
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): What?)
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Wait...you and Rarity...she's…)
Yeah. Found out this morning.
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): But...wait, how exactly did you two…)
It...depends how we're feeling at the time...Being married to an Alicorn has...certain advantages. Hehe…
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): ...Hehe...I guess...congratulations, Spike.)
Thanks. Now want to go see how Rainbow reacts?
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Oh quite…)
Dark World may be a bad future were Discord won. It may have been saved. But that doesn't mean the heroes' stories are the only ones who deserve to be told.
Spike has done many things in the last thousand years, including defeating a mad goddess, finally winning Rarity's heart, and becoming the King of New Equestria. But now he's facing a new challenge...
Okay, let me clarify one thing here. Yes, edited this. Yes, I'm aware of the feud between him and LZ. And I could care less about their feud. I'm helping LZ write a story of his own right now. Their feud is THEIR problem. Being BOTH their friend is mine. I don't WANT to pick a side so I'm not going to.
Now that that's out of the way, I hope you enjoyed the fic!

good stuff, i admit it somewhat felt abit stretched out in the middle, but otherwise it fine. btw let you a link.
great job
Anything in specific you liked?
Anything in specific you liked?
I guess that to judge by that last line congratulations are in order for Rarity and Spike.
And I like this line. I assume it's in reference to Cthulhu's daughter Cthylla from the Brian Lumley stories?
(Interviewer's Notes (Applejack): Wait, Ponythulhu has kids?)
Yeah. He brought his daughter Ponythylla to tea once. She's kinda cute.
Nice chapter, and I like the idea of Spike going to Twi's parents for some advice. And the part about their reaction to the nasty 'Molestia' rumors (and the idea about chopping poor Twi's horn off!) is well done.

In the Shining Armor arc there are ponies who want to do the same to him and later to Twilight. Shining is the one who comferts her then.
Thanks for the fav!
And yeah, congratulations are definitely in order.
And yeah, that's exactly what that was from!
And glad you like the way I did everything!
And yeah, congratulations are definitely in order.

And glad you like the way I did everything!
Oh, I forgot to add, I really enjoy that alternate universe with Princess Mailmare and the alien invasion. Go Derpy!
Hehe. Thanks! Glad you liked that part!
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Oh, by the way -- if you ever get the time, maybe you could take a gander at the non-Pony POV story I've posted here on DA, 'My Little Balladeer'? Be warned, it's a crossover* and has two human characters in it, so if neither of those are 'your cuppa tea' then they might not be to your liking.
And thanks for all the stuff you've posted here on DA with MLP.

Thank you!
Maybe I'll check it out eventually, but it depends what it's crossed over with.
You're welcome!

With Manly Wade Wellman's 'John the Balladeer' series from the 50's down through the 80's or so. That's a --- well, it's hard to say what; today they might call it 'urban fantasy', but it was all set in the Ozarks among the mountain people. The main character of John was a wandering balladeer and musician who often faced and fought against black magic and monsters, sometimes using magic himself, sometimes just his wits. People who follow(ed) both series say I did a decent job of combining the two while keeping everyone/pony in character.

Do Right Woman, Do Right Man Song Lyrics
Take her to heart
And she'll love you forever
And nobody can make her do wrong
But take her for granted, leaving your love unshown
Makes will power weak and temptation strong
A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood, just like her man
And if you want a do right all day woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man

My new favorite travel destination is New Mexico. It seems like people normally drive through it without stopping and it is a big mistake. My husband and I traveled there recently and could not wait to go back. Hot springs in Truth Or Consequences, hiking in the gorgeous mountains and the art in Santa Fe are just a few of the wonderful things New Mexico has to offer.
Although I love to travel, staying put here in Indianapolis is just as exciting. We would love to put a room on Airbnb one day and host guests that would like to explore our city.


text: Hi, I've managed to jam my SL66. Don't think i did anything wrong, the last wind was complete, but none the less the mirror has locked up, the shutter release doesn't do anything and the winding mechanism is locked as if the shutter was wound. Second time its happened, last time it went to Brian Mickleboro who got it back running nicely, but he's off on holiday at for the next few weeks, so willing to give things a go myself. Has anybody got any suggestions to get it back operational? Leaves a bit of a bitter taste it happening a second time, i bought this to replace a Zenith 80 for German reliability, but never mind - its done now. A second body isn't going to be cheap.

The Abba Consulting Team has a broad range of business experiences, varied backgrounds and expertise, which can meet our client's unique needs especially those who do business in rural Alaska. Furthermore, individual team members possess the accomplished skill sets and networking relationships that are tailored toward helping village corporations, tribes and rural municipalities. The consulting team understands and is very familiar with many of the obstacles and challenges in doing business in rural Alaska because they have worked for and along side many Native profit and non-profit organizations. Although Abba Solutions is primarily focused on rural entities we are also prepared to serve businesses all over Alaska and beyond.
In 2013 and 2014 we were able to assist a village corporation to secure a $1.75 million dollar government guaranteed loan to construct a new retail facility in their community. In addition, we lead a joint village corporation and tribal entity effort to secure State capital project funds for a new tank farm through a state agency. Also, we worked closely with both entities and a state agency to resolve problematic issues between all parties, which eventually resulted in releasing critically needed grant funds to resume work of their powerhouse and power generation system. For another client we revamped and improved the village corporation's website.
Our vision is to strive to be the best consulting firm in Alaska.

Miss Bentley the Blue Weimaraner
I am new to the Tacoma area and took Bentley to a local dog park on Christmas Eve where unfortunately another dog bit her through the end of her ear. Everyone that knows a weim knows that they have long ears that are of course filled with blood vessels. After 10 mins of trying to get the bleeding under control and no luck, a kind woman at the park let me follow her to her vet (the VCA) and also called the VCA to let them know a hurt/bleeding dog was on its way in. As soon as I entered the vet I was met with the most caring staff I have ever met at a vet. They immediately took Bentley back and wrapped her ear to try to stop the bleeding and so Dr. Christensen could take a look at it. It was determined that Bentley would have to have surgery to stitch up her ear. After surgery was done Bentley then had to start the road to recovery, being a weim that was just over a year old and full of energy it was not easy to keep her calm so her ear could heal. After many trips back to the vet because Bentley would not let her ear heal, in the end the vet had to stitch her ear to the top of her head to heal, Bentley is now back to her normal self. Through this whole ordeal the staff and Dr. Christensen were so caring and nice, and made both Bentley and I feel comfortable. I really felt like the whole staff went above and beyond to help take care of Bentley. To make me feel even more, that they truly care for Bentley. I called about 3 months after the whole ordeal to ask about boarding her, and the woman on the phone remembered exactly who Bentley was and was so excited that they will be able to watch Bentley while I am out of town. I know she will get the best care in VCA's hands.

Duke faces key road test at Florida State
Andrew Skwara
Rivals.com College Basketball
Big 12
Big East
Big Ten
Best matchup: Wake Forest (11-3, 1-0 ACC) at Maryland (10-6, 0-1). If you like guard play, this is the game for you. The Demon Deacons and Terps boast some of the league's top young guards. Maryland's fiery sophomore Greivis Vasquez is a terrific playmaker who leads the team in scoring (16.9 points per game) and ranks second in the league at 6.1 assists per game. Classmate Eric Hayes is an excellent passer, ranking fourth in the league in assists (5.4). Wake sophomore Ishmael Smith and freshman Jeff Teague are among the league's fastest players. Teague is emerging as a dangerous scoring threat, having scored in double figures in six consecutive games, including a 26-point outburst in Wake's convincing 79-62 win over BYU on Tuesday. Slowing down Smith and Teague will be pivotal for the Terps, who need a win after struggling through their non-conference schedule and losing their ACC opener to Boston College.
The pressure is on: N.C. State. The Wolfpack (10-3, 0-0) begins ACC play with road trips to No. 1 North Carolina (15-0, 1-0) and No. 18 Clemson (12-2, 0-1), putting them in danger of starting out 0-2 in the league. The Wolfpack, picked to finish third by the league media, have been wildly inconsistent, beating Villanova, Davidson, Cincinnati and Seton Hall, but suffering shocking losses to New Orleans and East Carolina. Most recently, the Wolfpack trailed Presbyterian (1-18) in the second half before pulling out an ugly 50-43 win. The key is getting steady play from star freshman J.J. Hickson, who followed up a 33-point, 13-rebound performance in a win over Western Carolina with just four points and one board against Presbyterian.
Upset alert: No. 9 Duke (11-1, 0-0) at Florida State (12-4, 1-0). For whatever reason, the Blue Devils have had a tough time in the Donald L. Tucker Center, going 2-3 in their past five trips to Tallahassee, including a 79-74 loss in their most recent trip in 2006. The Blue Devils will enter as the heavy favorite, but expect the matchup to come down to the final minute. Florida State may be the only team in the league that can match the Blue Devils' depth on the perimeter the Seminoles have three senior guards, and junior point guard Toney Douglas is a three-year starter and with both teams hurting badly for bodies on the inside their weaknesses should neutralize each other.
RPI watch: The ACC continues to remain atop the conference RPI ratings. North Carolina has moved up to No. 2, thanks in part to a strength of schedule that ranks No. 21 in the nation. Duke moved up to No. 16, and Clemson slipped to No. 44 after its overtime loss to the Tar Heels last week. Boston College's shocking loss to Robert Morris proved costly as the Eagles fell to 102nd.
Key stat: North Carolina ranks first in the league in scoring at 92.1 points per game but ranks 11th in scoring defense, giving up 69.9 points per game. Only Georgia Tech, which is giving up 72.3 points, is worse.
Florida State leads the nation in free-throw percentage, shooting a remarkable 80 percent (260-of-325).
Freshman to watch: Virginia Tech's Jeff Allen hasn't gotten nearly as much publicity as many of the league's freshmen, but the blue-collar big man has been one of the most productive, averaging 12.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals. Allen (6 feet 7, 250 pounds) already has put together six double-doubles.
Who's hot: Duke senior wing DeMarcus Nelson is 18-of-29 from the field (62.1 percent) over his past three games and has made 11 of his past 20 3-pointers (55 percent).
Maryland senior power forward James Gist is averaging 19.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.5 blocks over his past four games.
Florida State reserve guard Ralph Mims has scored in double figures in five consecutive games.
Who's not: Boston College guard Tyrese Rice has shot 10-of-27 (37.0 percent) and is averaging 5.0 turnovers and 2.0 assists during the Eagles' two-game skid.
Wake's Ishmael Smith is shooting 32 percent (8-of-25) from the free throw line for the season. That is lower than his average (34.3 percent) from 3-point range.
Florida State senior guard Isaiah Swann continues to be mired in a shooting slump, going 10-of-32 (31.2 percent) from the field in his past four games. He has made just four of his past 25 3-pointers (12 percent).
Worth noting: Three of Boston College's first four league games are at home, where they are 12-4 in the past two seasons.
Wake has won six games in a row for the first time since 2004-05 and has the longest home-winning streak in the league at 14 in a row.
Duke's Mike Krzyzewski is tied with former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell for sixth place on the NCAA career wins list with 786.
Florida State's Leonard Hamilton needs one win to reach 300 career victories.

Jonathan lives on the south coast of England.
Many of his short stories are inspired by the people who choose to live beside the sea. They include elements of fantasy, horror, humour and malice. Dark Reunion: Twenty Short Stories is a compilation of all his published short stories.
The Russian White, his Victorian thriller, was written when he lived in London. On cold clear mornings as the fog rises over the River Thames and seeps into the narrow alleys and shadowy by-ways, the city of over one hundred and fifty years ago can be glimpsed once more and the atmosphere evoked.
Running Before The Midnight Bell is an urban crime thriller. Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea on the south coast of England are the backdrops to a series of murders targeted against vulnerable members of a particular community. Detective Chief Inspector Anthony Nemo struggles with the case as long-held secrets are slowly revealed: unaware that he too is being stalked by the killer.
Review by:
siewleng torossian
on Jan. 14, 2012 :
The writing definitely has an English "feel" to it, in a very good way. Love the style, has an undertone of sharp wit - reminds me of Jeffrey Archer. My favorite story was Two Blue Doors, because it could have been another same-oh story but the writing made the reading really fun, you'll rethink "seaweed".
Price-wise, great price for an entertaining read. I'll probably re-read the stories again another day, with another cup of tea, that is how much I enjoyed the author's style.
Yes, I would look out for more of this author's works.

A recent NREL report finds that the use of public capital (asset-backed securities, investment pools and real estate investment trusts) can lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by up to $0.16 for residential projects and $0.08 for utility projects. As consumer confidence in securitization grows, prices could fall by as much as 30%.
A recent Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report finds that streamlined city permitting practices can reduce the cost of installed PV systems by $0.27-$0.77 per watt, relative to cities with less favorable permitting standards. Development times can be shorted by an average of 24 days, under favorable permitting standards.

At 16 years old you shoud take your well being seriously, young people can do far more harm to themselves by nutritional lapses than older fully developed adults would suffer.
Certainly it is a good idea to try and eat healthily and adapt to a healthier lifestyle... and if you do that then you are certain to acheive sustainable weight loss.
You may be wanting a 'quick start' but truthfully you've been getting fatter and being fat for a good while now.. so I can't see the point in needing a sudden change.. least of all an unhealthy one that teaches you nothing.
But... if you decided to do single day water fasts even as often as once a week, I don't think that would do you any harm at all, and probably a huge deal of benefit... especially if you make sure your pre and post fast days are supremely healthy with heaps of vegetables, high quality protein and top grade carbs.
Good luck, and remember the real objective is to become healthier (slimming is a natural side product of healthy living)... if you just try and get slimmer most likely you will fail to get any healthier, and be unable to maintain any weight lost.

If you skip the ad shit in the beginning and the end, this isn't so bad. The camera is a shakey and zoomed in too much but it's still better than most Exploit Teens filipina/thai videos.

The protection of personal information is important to Softball Australia Limited (SAL). Softball Australia is committed to respecting individual's privacy and the protection of personal information.
This document sets out how SAL may collect, hold and use personal information. By providing your personal information to SAL, you consent to its use, storage and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This Policy deals with the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, as well as access to personal information and security issues. It applies to all the activities of SAL and our Member States, Associations and Clubs.
Personal information
"Personal information" is information or an opinion (including information forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in material form or not, about an individual whose identity is reasonably apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion.
The information collected by SAL about a particular person will vary depending on the circumstances of collection. It may include, but is not limited to, a person's contact details (name, email and/or postal address, phone number), date of birth, gender, credit card details, driver's licence number, passport number, insurance details, employment history, qualifications or communication history with SAL.
Sensitive information
If it is reasonably necessary in the circumstances, SAL may also collect sensitive information (which is a type of personal information) such as your medical history, nationality or disability backgrounds.
Sensitive information is afforded a higher level of privacy protection than other personal information. Where you provide sensitive information to SAL, you also provide consent to SAL collecting it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless you tell us otherwise.
The type of personal information we collect is that which is necessary for one or more of our legitimate functions or activities. Generally the personal information we collect is the minimum information we require to manage your membership or provide a product or service.
If you choose not to provide the personal information as requested then we may not be able to verify you as a Member or provide certain services or benefits to you.
We will not collect information that is irrelevant or unrelated to the activities of SAL and our Member States, Associations and Clubs, that is malicious or which cannot be proven or substantiated.
We will collect this information by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. We collect personal information about you in a number of ways, including:
directly from you, for example:
when you register as a member
provide information in order to access specific services
are selected to a squad or team
purchase a product or service
subscribe to a publication or service.
indirectly, for example, by the use of Cookies (for definition, refer to clause 6.1.9)
become a member of a softball club, association or other body which is a member of or affiliated with SAL (SAL Affiliate)
subscribe to any publication of SAL or a SAL Affiliate, including electronic publications
provide details to SAL or a SAL Affiliate in an application, consent form, survey, feedback form or incident report
enter personal information into, or agree to having your personal information entered into, one of SAL's online systems
access the SAL website or a website of a SAL Affiliate
contact SAL via email, telephone or mail or engage with SAL via social media
participate in any program, activity, competition or event run by SAL or a SAL Affiliate
purchase tickets to a softball or sporting event from SAL or an authorised agent
purchase merchandise, products or services from SAL or an authorised agent or licensee
are elected or appointed to the Board or a committee of SAL, or
apply for employment or a volunteer position with SAL or a SAL Affiliate.
Personal information may also be collected where SAL is required to do so by law (for education, child protection, work health and safety laws, charitable collections, medical treatment or other legislation in Australia).
If you do not provide some or all of the information that we request from you, this may affect SAL's ability to communicate with you or provide the requested products or services.
By not providing requested information, you may jeopardise your ability to participate in programs or competitions or apply for employment or volunteer positions with SAL or a SAL Affiliate. If it is impracticable for SAL to deal with you as a result of you not providing the requested information or consent, SAL may refuse to do so.
Collection from third parties
SAL or a SAL Affiliate may collect personal information regarding a child from the parent or other responsible person associated with that child.
In some circumstances, SAL collects information from SAL Affiliates or other third parties.
Examples of such third parties could include, without limitation, the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency, the Australian Institute of Sport, non-affiliated SAL organisations or government and law enforcement bodies as required by law.
Information storage and protection
SAL stores information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form.
Much of the information we collect from and about our members is added to SAL's membership database. When your information is entered into SAL's membership database, the information may be combined or linked with other information held about you.
Security of personal information is important to SAL. SAL has taken steps to protect the information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Some of the security measures SAL uses include strict confidentiality requirements of our employees, volunteers, SAL Affiliates and service providers, security measures for system access and security measures for our website.
SAL, and third parties to whom we may disclose personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, may collect, hold and use your personal information to:
verify your identity
complete background checks
research, develop, run, administer and market competitions, programs, activities and other events relating to softball
research, develop and market products, services, merchandise and special offers made available by us and third parties
respond to emergency situations involving or requiring medical treatment
administer, manage and provide you with access to SAL website
keep you informed of news and information relating to various softball events, activities and opportunities via various mediums.
SAL may use health information to ensure that programs we operate are run safely and in accordance with any special health needs participants may require. Health information may also be kept for insurance purposes. In addition, we may use de-identified health information and other sensitive information to carry out research, to prepare submissions to government, or to plan events and activities.

SAL Affiliates and other organisations involved in softball programs in Australia

our professional advisers, including our accountants, auditors and lawyers
our insurers
relevant sporting bodies such as the International Softball Federation, Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, Australian Institute of Sport, various National Sporting bodies, Federal and State Departments of Sport amongst others, and
in other circumstances permitted by law.
In some circumstances personal information may also be disclosed outside of Australia, for example, information disclosed to the International Softball Federation. In such circumstances, SAL will use our best endeavours to ensure such parties are subject to a law, binding scheme or contract which effectively upholds principles for fair handling of the information that are suitably similar to the Australian Privacy Principles (APP).
Direct marketing
We will use non-sensitive personal information to provide better services and for marketing purposes (including disclosure of such information to service providers).

text: Hi everyone, We have 2 AT&T U-Verse connections at our office right now because those were the only options we had available. I'm looking for some solutions for the optimal set up. Currently, we have one main printer and a couple of other computers that will be wireless in the next couple of days. The RV042 seemed like a good option but from what I understand, it only kicks in once the other one goes out, is this true? I was also looking at one of the new ASUS routers and buying 2 of them, bridging them together under one network but is that possible if you're using 2 different internet connections? Thanks, Peter

"Rome is burning, and no one cares," my colleague Jim exclaimed to our boss on a conference call in the late-1990s. We were trying to explain the budget crisis in our largest property, which was responsible for more than $1 billion in revenue.
Jim's point was that no one on the ground, operating the property, cared we were in a crisis, or thought we could solve the crisis. Jim, director of partner relations, and I, director of finance, had just finished a budget-review trip to the property. The trip had started with a four-hour, cross-country flight during which Jim, located in the window seat next to me, was forced to review the two six-inch budget binders the operating company had compiled.
It's been 13 years, and he has almost forgiven me.
What did we learn? That no amount of detail can hide the obvious.
Buried amid hundreds of pages of detail, the firm's directors had inserted a $24 million plug figure of "expense reductions to be found" to meet our net income target. In other words, they had thrown their hands up in defeat. Any doubts were swept away when I walked into the office and their president said, "You can't come here and find 24 million."
The message -- it can't be done.
That afternoon, the showdown occurred during a budget meeting with directors. Jim thanked them for their work and then asked them to send in their bosses. The vice presidents showed up, believing that, since we were now on the ground with them, we would understand the operational pressures they faced and agree. That didn't happen. "Your job is to make the numbers work," Jim told them. "If you can't do it -- we'll get different people who can."
Jim's statement, "Rome is burning, and no one cares," is applicable to our nation's budget situation today.
On Monday, the Obama administration released it 2011 budget with an estimated $1.3 trillion deficit. Taxes equal 15 percent of the gross domestic product in 2011, and rise by a third to 20 percent of GDP in 2020.

To All The Single Mamas, I Heard You.Naomi Odes
After some of the comments on my post about solo parenting for forty-eight hours, I realized that it may have seemed as though I slighted the single mom population. This was not deliberate and I sincerely apologize.
As I mentioned in my comment, I find it a little unnerving when people who hear that my children don't sleep well say something like "I don't know how you do it!?" because clearly they are really thinking: "Boy, am I glad that's not me." Or perhaps they are thinking I got myself into this situation and I'm a bad parent. Regardless, how I do it is irrelevant.
I do it. I have no choice.
I imagine this is how you feel. Or maybe not…I have a close friend who is relatively new to the single parent world. From my perspective, she is blowing me away with her ability to deal with emotional turmoil in her divorce and yet more than meet the needs of her almost three-year-old little boy. She has worked tirelessly to make sure his world has remained secure and warm despite the chaos that has surrounded them. She has also made sure to take care of herself and even dipped her toe in the dating pool. Despite her being able to keep it together, I know that she's probably going through the most difficult time of her life.
I guess the point of this post is not only to acknowledge that I recognize how hard it is to do everything we do as parents without the help of a partner, but maybe start a dialogue about it and perhaps share some tips and struggles that might connect us all as moms. I want to be supportive, as well as understand what you go through.
So, I know HOW you do it, but can you share more? What gets you through the day-to-day. Especially those single moms with infants–what tips and words of wisdom can you give to us and to other single parents?

Since this game will be separated by releases, I've been thinking that it's probably a better idea to wait for the complete collection with both games, or even both games merged into one. We all know how, well, WEIRD Kojima is, so when he for the first time is able to get his hands on releasing a game in two sections, you KNOW Ground Zeroes is gonna have some cliffhangy ending.
I for one am just gonna wait it out until either TPP is released or they release them both in one package, if they even do it. Who here is with me? Can you wait that long while a new MGS will be available on store shelves?
