Hinata could hear the galloping of horses as she slept against something comfortably warm, despite the fact that the rough bouncing around her made her empty stomach churned. As she paid more and more attention in the midst of her sleep, she could tell that there might have been two or three horses, and by the source of the galloping, she knew they were somewhere in beyond her. The sound seemed to be coming from outside, and she could feel a bit of a night breeze chilling her skin beneath what might have been a blanket, as well as hear that soft wind whistling through fabric walls around her. Then Hinata realized she was in a carriage. It must have been why the ride was so bumpy and why she could both feel and hear the breeze, as if it were blowing through the sail of a ship.
Hinata felt a bit of a sharp sting in her neck when she made the foolish choice to move herself. She was sore at the joints and weak at the bones. It was a good thing she was laid against a mountain of pillows, for if she wasn't, the blanket wouldn't have been enough to keep her cozy on its own. All in all, she was comfortable, for the most part. The pillows seemed to mold around her, even if they weren't really that soft under the fabric, nor downy. Actually, they felt a bit hard, in a way, and seemed to move on their own. Hinata figured it might have been because of the carriage shaking as she horses galloped over what might have been a dirt-paved road, until she began to hear a soft drumming beneath the pillows. It was a heartbeat.
Hinata opened her heavy eyes to find herself indeed in a dark carriage closed off with stapled canvas and fabric, but she wasn't lying against a pile of hard, seemingly-alive pillows; she was lying in the arms of her chiseled husband, Kiba Inuzuka.
?" She mumbled out of her dry lips, lifting her head from his toned chest. Hinata grabbed the side of her head as it began to spin with dizziness, causing her discomfort, as well as making her reach out and lay her other hand over Kiba's chest for stability.
The touch made a sleeping Kiba lift his hung-back head and snap wide awake before he soon found Hinata, lying against his body, his wife now peering up at him with shock in her wide eyes, an embarrassed pink hue staining her cheeks, and her hand grasping his chest half where his kimono had been loosened a bit at the collar, thus leaving his unshaved flesh bare to hers.
"O-oh, sorry!" Hinata yanked her hand back and held it to herself upon both the sight of his naked chest and the sensation it left at the tips of her fingers, "I-I-I didn't mean to-
! I-I just woke up
Though, Kiba was so tired that he could barely even feel any sort of surprise at the abrupt touch that had awoken him.
"Huh? Oh, it's okay
I just woke up too, I guess
" he smiled weakly, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand.
Hinata was puzzled at how Kiba didn't seem to mind the fact that she had just touched him in an accidental, yet still somewhat intimate manner. She sort of just stayed there staring at him with confusion for a while and held her fingers with her free hand, subconsciously remembering what he felt like as the sensation melted away but left an imprint in her memory.
It took a moment for Kiba to gather himself and regain focus to realize both he and Hinata were smushed together in a tight little corner at the back of the private carriage. As he began to look around to get familiar with his surroundings, Hinata realized it too, and instinctively, they both began to awkwardly adjust themselves until they were both at a comfortable distance away from each other. The two became cold, suddenly, where their bodies previously laid meshed against each other. When they lifted the blanket to cover themselves, they realized it was too short to wrap their bodies in. Kiba and Hinata had to squish back together. Not that they minded too much, at least; and not that they'd admit it either.
"Small blanket, eh?" Kiba cleared the silence with a small chuckle, feeling a slight heat rise into his face as he looked off at anything but Hinata, feeling too clueless and strange about the situation to make eye-contact with her as they pressed up against each other.
Not that that was a problem for Hinata. She was too busy staring down at her lap to even notice. When she nimbly laid her head onto Kiba's chest again and allowed him to wrap his arms around her shoulders, she learned to ease herself with the strangely pleasant position. Kiba felt incredibly warm where he'd been covered with her body for God knows how long. He was big and toned. He could swathe her in complete warmth from all sides. Hell, he felt like a perfect fit against Hinata, even if she refused to consciously admit it. All she could do was enjoy him now and try to keep herself from questioning the strange new world around her. She had to live with the butterflies in her queasy gut and the blossoming tingles in her chest, though. She couldn't ignore her body's physical reactions no matter how well she could ease her mind for the time being.
"A little
" She finally answered him, crossing her arms under the blanket when she found it inappropriate to hold Kiba around the waist, "it's okay, though. It's not too cold outside, anyway
But, Kiba, where are we going? How long have we been traveling? I can't remember anything
The last thing I'm able to recall is you biting me at the mating ceremony
Everything between then and now is a complete blur."
"Well, to start, you fainted after I bit you," Kiba began, "so I carried you to the women's massage rooms so I could lay you down on one of the beds while everyone left to the after-party. When you didn't wake up for a long time, one of my cousins came back to make sure you were okay. She brought clean clothes with her two for the both of us. I let her take you to one of the baths to clean you off from the blood and dress you while I was in the men's bath doing the same for myself. You woke up by the time I came back to the women's massage room where my cousin took you back to after that, but you were still in a bit of a daze, so we just decided it'd be best for me to skip out on the after-party and have our ride come in early to take us to Tanzaku town. I guess we fell asleep here though until now
No clue for how many hours, but by the smell of the breeze, I'm guessing it's a bit after midnight."
Tanzaku town?" Hinata sleepily repeated, "what for? I thought we'd just go back to your house after the wedding."
"Nope, we're going to Tanzaku town to stay for a few weeks and gamble and explore and all of that hoopla," Kiba yawned, laying his head back against a corner of the carriage's cushioned interior, "like a honeymoon or whatever, but without the sex
Hinata felt her heart squeeze tight at the word before she noticed heat shoot up into her face again.
" Was all she could say, "that's nice
I've always wanted to try gambling."
"Mhmm, I know," he smiled, to himself, "my family rented us a room at a hotel to stay at. They got two beds, too, so we can each get our own bed."
"And Akamaru-Kun?"
"Couldn't come. When Inuzukas honeymoon, we don't bring the canines."
"How come?"
"I heard it's so the couple can bond or whatever
Kinda lame, if you ask me, since we're not really married out of love."
" Hinata sighed. Her heart dropped a little at the last part of Kiba's words, almost as if she had been wondering for a moment if maybe there was a chance that he possibly felt something more than friendly for her. She figured there was her answer: No. Hinata decided to just settle on that even if her question hadn't been asked and Kiba hadn't directly answered it. She would have never asked, anyway. It had to be assumed things between them were just friendly, though no matter Hinata told herself to keep things that way, she couldn't help but slip past her denial for a moment to realize she was starting to feel a bit more than that for Kiba.
"Anyway, I'm gonna knock out again," Kiba interrupted her thoughts, "g'night, Hina."
Hinata silenced herself for a moment when she lifted her head to see him close his eyes. She stared at him for a little while before she eventually tamed herself to lay against his chest again, wishing she could gaze up at him for a little longer.
Good night." She finally said, holding the blanket tight to herself, praying that she could fall asleep as her unanswered questions began to submerse her worried little mind into further confusion.
Okay, so I don't know how much I'll be able to put out with fan fiction right now, since I've started college recently. I have a ton of homework, so things will be a bit slower for me in terms of DeviantART, guys. Sorry. >__<

"Obama may be comfortable with Brennan's philosophy of targeted assassinations, and he may be equally confident in the proposed new CIA chief's ability to control the initiatives of underlings. However, these are flimsy foundations on which to base policy decisions, particularly ones concerning a weapon as controversial as drones. Cutting Congress and the public out of the process of determining how, when, and where these weapons should be used is counterproductive and shortsighted."

WINNING TRAITS: Are You A Walk-Away Person?
There are some fans that celebrities like ex-president George Bush don't want to meet!
I recently read an article which gave tips on how to meet an important person when that person was talking with someone else.
After some discussion, this was the result the article suggested: Walk away.
It recommended you walk away and find another time to meet this person, so you don't rudely interrupt their current situation.
I disagree, and here's why...
When you walk away, you could be giving up the opportunity of a lifetime to meet that person.
Look at it this way. Let's say you wanted to win lotto, but of course there were hundreds of thousands of others competing for the prizes.
What do the majority do? They think the odds are against them, and they give up - and walk away.
This should be a wake-up call for you.
Nothing can ever be accomplished by walking away.
Every opportunity must be seized at the moment and worked on proactively. Only this way will you ever achieve anything.
Everyone has read how Thomas Edison made thousands of trials before he invented the incandescent lamp.
Just think what would have happened if the first experiment hadn't worked and he had walked away.
The only way you can win is to take part in a lottery, persist and play, and never give up.
Never walk away.

Parents and Students with ADHD
Is your child diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? Have you tried everything and nothing makes a lasting difference?
Are you committed to helping your ADHD student to learn the life skills necessary to be successful academically, personally and socially?
Do you want to empower your child, have them feel good about themselves, minimize their challenges and really appreciate their gifts?
I get it! I want your student to succeed!
As a mother of four, two with ADHD, along with my ten years of experience as an ADHD coach I can help!
Parenting a child with ADHD is more then a 24/7 job and there is not a manual or book big enough to answer all the questions for how to do it.
Which is why I have created a coaching program specifically for students and parents living with ADHD.
Together we will set a foundation to keep them motivated, build their self-esteem and guide them through strategies and techniques that will increase their academic and social success.
This is what I know to be true– The earlier your child can learn to work with their unique thought processes – instead of trying to fit into works for everyone else – the sooner they can begin using specific strategies to help them succeed in life.
It is never too early or too late for your student to benefit from ADHD coaching!
If you haven't worked with me, a credentialed experienced ADHD Coach and trained Nurse Practitioner…you haven't tried everything.
Schedule a complimentary 15″ consultation today at http://meetme.so/15minConsultation and about how ADHD Coaching can help.
Your child needs YOU as their parent and I am here to be their coach.
I'm waiting to help.

Research in Motion: Optimists Getting Jazzed About Earnings Report
Reseach in Motion, a/k/a the Canadian Apple, reports earnings on Thursday, but that's way too long for analysts to wait to talk about the quarter. They're already putting out preview notes, and there are a surprising number of enthusiasts.
Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu this morning writes that he expects "decent" quarterly results and not-horrible guidance for the quarters ahead, because its new phones are great, and because wireless carriers want to keep it around as a viable alternative to Google and Apple:
RIMM is due to report its August quarter this Thursday, September 15, 2011, after the close. We anticipate the company to meet or exceed consensus estimates of $4.5 billion in revenue and $0.67 in EPS (we have in-line revenue and 3 cents better EPS) vs. guidance of $4.2-$4.8 billion in revenue and $0.75-$1.05 in EPS.
As we have said in our recent upgrade… we have picked up constructive feedback on its new BlackBerries including the Bold 9900 and Torch 9810 that shipped late in the quarter. We believe sales will be driven by upgrades in its large installed base of 55 million users as opposed to switchers. In addition, we believe RIMM benefits from carrier desire to support a viable No. 3 platform to fend off GOOG and AAPL as well as disruption in MMI as it gets integrated into GOOG and NOK as it transitions to Windows Phone 7 from Symbian.
For its outlook, expectations are fairly low with its depressed valuation at 5x CY12 EPS where most anticipate the company to back away from its FY12 EPS guidance of $5.25-$6.00 with consensus estimates already at $5.11. We agree that the company set unrealistically high expectations but based on our supply chain checks, we believe a potential guidedown will be modest. The reason is RIMM is going through arguably the strongest product upgrade cycle it has seen in some time with BB7 OS.
Scotia Capital's George Papageorgiou is even more optimistic about guidance:
We are expecting a much stronger Q3 with clear evidence the company can meet its annual EPS goal of between US$5.25 and US$6.00. We are relatively optimistic on what can be achieved in Q3 for several reasons. These include: (1) launching devices with 225 carriers globally, making this one of if not the largest launches in history; (2) channel inventory builds; (3) a substantial upgrade cycle; (4) AT&T launching the Bold 9900; and (5), finally, we believe the legal issues plaguing Android are a potential boost for RIM in the U.S. and Europe
Morgan Stanley is liking the quarter ahead, too:
We believe FQ3 smartphone guidance should be strong, as 4 new BB7 devices ship into nearly 200 carriers globally, and initial positive reviews coupled with unusually low inventory levels set-up for a strong quarter for sell-in.
J.P. Morgan's Rod Hall, meanwhile, speaks for the pessimists, of which there are still many:
Even though we believe recently launched devices and particularly the 9900 are solid we doubt that trumps rapidly declining consumer sentiment and potentially weaker demand. We are looking for FQ2 smartphone shipments of 11.75m and Playbook shipments of 700k.
FQ3 Smartphone guidance a concern: We are forecasting FQ3 smartphone shipments of 15m, +28% Q/Q and +6% Y/Y. We believe that RIMM's three major countries (the US, the UK and Canada) still account for >50% of total shipments. Given increasingly negative consumer data points in these countries, we are concerned that FQ3 smartphone shipment guidance could be weaker than forecast.
RIM shares are down a bit this morning, to $29.60 — and they're down nearly 58% from their high this February.

Back on Track - not as easy as pie
Saturday, January 05, 2013
Like many of us, I took a planned break for the holidays. By allowing myself that pumpkin pie and foods that I'd restricted for the last 6 months, I did gain 5 lbs. I had continued to exercise regularly and continued my water intake throughout this time. The good news was that I was still 20 lbs down from my starting weight of 203 back in May. I planned on getting back on track on Dec 31. The first day was harder than expected - and unsuccessful. The next day was Day 1 again - didn't work, I stopped the sugar, but was unable to stop the overeating. This was the first time, I lost weight and gained some, as a member of Sparkpeople. I've learned so much from shared experiences and this has given me a chance to really step back and examine how my brain works when it comes to overeating. Upon reflection, I saw how grazing had crept back in over the last month - that is just grabbing what's in sight and eating it, no matter what kind of food and no matter if hungry or not - this was a huge departure from how I had been living since last May when I started my journey. Today was Day 1 again for the 5th time. There came a time today when I opened the frig and suddenly asked myself What Are You Doing? You just ate your healthy breakfast, You just had a great exercise, You're not hungry. Stop and Think. And just like that, Day 1 will make it's completion. Thank you, my friends for blogging and sharing and encouraging me. This would have been every other failure in the past, but instead was a great comeback.

Oh my gosh...I thought I was the only one.
I gave myself free rein over Thanksgiving and Christmas and also gained 5 lbs...telling myself that New Year's Day would be day 1 back on the straight and narrow (didn't happen). Today is the 5th and I'm hoping this is my day 1....so far, so good. I felt awful eating too much salt and sugar and yet I did it anyway. If food makes us feel like crap when we eat it, is it truly a "treat"? This is the question I've been asking myself. You did great today and I'm going to try to do the same. Here goes!

Infographic: The Makings of a Hurricane
Rianovosti has a neat infographic that shows how a Hurricane forms and the various measurement systems used to gauge the power of them. It starts with the fact that the word 'Hurricane' comes from the evil American Indian god 'Hurakan', and then covers the various hydrodynamic effects of a hurricane.

In 2011, a new security policy for CJIS data was issued — a "minimum set of standards" for keeping criminal justice data safe from unauthorized access. The policy is scheduled to go into full effect by September 30, 2013. To achieve compliance with the new security policy, CJIS-connected agencies must tackle three chief areas of concern: security management, availability and authentication/encryption. This solution brief helps agencies address these three areas of concern and explains how Symantec's comprehensive set of enterprise-class technologies ensures data is protected, managed, stored and available – anytime, anywhere.

Signup is complete. Lists are being tallied. Soon the buying will begin.
For what? For school supplies, that's what.
The Backpack Ministry is at that point where some monetary donations and donations in kind are needed to meet the needs of these local children.
This year 99 children have been registered for assistance with a few stragglers expected. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church would love to fill each child's backpack with all the supplies needed.
The church has all the money needed to do this, except that some of it is still in the pockets and checking accounts of community members who have been blessed with financial abundance. Yes, that means that this fantastic program could use several more donations.
Now is the time for the community to respond to this need. The average cost of supplies for a single child is about $50. With the numbers already signed up, that brings the amount of help needed to $5,000. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Ministerial Alliance, and some individuals have already committed $2,000. That brings the need down to $3,000.
That sounds like a lot but many donations can quickly reduce this to zero.
The church and the program volunteers are making a request for donations to help those children in our community who might otherwise start the school year with little in the way of required supplies.
There is the side of us that says, "Their parents would have enough money for school supplies if they didn't spend it all on beer or cigarettes or designer clothes or fast food or video games."
Those things might be true, but the children are not responsible for those bad decisions. Equipping these children for school gives them a chance to overcome a family history of bad decision making through success in education.
Some folks are just doing the best that they can and just can't afford the supplies.
And some have been blessed to have an abundance. If this is you, then please donate to help children in this community with school supplies.
Exceptional stewardship is the norm with every dollar received. Those who purchase the supplies have a keen eye for bargains and have been purchasing some supplies in the "off season" when the prices are significantly reduced. Their comparison shopping stretches every donation to the maximum extent.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is once again sponsoring this ministry, so please make checks to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church or CPC and place "Backpacks" or "School Supplies" in the "for" line of the check.
Donations may be sent to:
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
PO Box 8
Burns Flat OK 73624
Donations in kind may be made at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Burns Flat or through any of the churches in the Ministerial Alliance. Those churches include the Burns Flat First Baptist Church, Living Waters Assembly of God Church of Burns Flat, and both Baptist Churches in Dill City.
The motto of the Burns Flat Cumberland Presbyterian Church is God's Love in Action. This ministry gives the entire community an opportunity to be that love right here at home.

Johannesburg is more lovingly known as Jozi or Jo'burg and it is a city that embraces rapid change right in the heart of South Africa.
Jo'burg truly is at the cutting edge of the country's development and the city continues to flourish as the center smartens up and new high rise offices and loft apartments are constructed at a hasty pace.
When introducing Johannesburg it has to be mentioned that the city does still bear scars of past oppression but scars take time to heal. There is noticeable divide between classes here and it's interesting to note that the affluent suburbs of Sandton and Rosebank along with their swanky shopping malls and top-class eateries can be found almost next door to the destitute townships like Alexandra.
If you're a first time visitor to Jo'burg, the city can come across as an intimidating sprawl and it's a good idea to be on your guard owing to the fairly high crime rate. But do keep in mind that the more serious crimes tend to happen far from the popular tourist haunts.
Having said that, Johannesburg is a friendly, bustling city with plenty to see and experience like the Apartheid Museum, the artsy streets of Melville and the buzz of the revamped city center and now cultural district of Newtown as well as the country's largest township, Soweto.
As tourists continue to flood in from all corners of the globe, Johannesburg's identity is becoming ever more cosmopolitan and its renewed confidence resonates with the many infrastructure and tourism investments.
See and Do
Liliesleaf Farm was the secret headquarters of the country' leading party, the African National Congress, during the 1960s. In 2008 the venue opened as a museum and it now depicts the story of the country's liberation struggle through interactive and high-tech exhibits.
Turbine Hall in Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newton lies next to the SAB World of Beer and is a breathtaking building. The structure is headquarters to AngloGold Ashanti on the one side. The south boiler side is empty but is often used for events. While you're there pop next door to the SAB World of Beer for an interesting tour of the history of South African beer and a few refreshing tasters.
A trip to Jozi is incomplete without a visit to Soweto and the Hector Pieterson Memorial. The memorial is in honor of the 13 year old boy who was shot dead during the 1976 Soweto uprisings. A day tour of Soweto will take you to places like Nelson Mandela's home, Regina Mundi church and a delightful lunch of local gastronomy in a traditional African eatery.
Montecasino in the north of the city is Jozi's answer to Las Vegas. The venue is a shopping, eating and entertainment center based around a massive casino. The building includes a recreated Tuscan village complete with cobbled pavements, artificial evening sky and hilltop flats. There is also a theater and cinema on sight and a bird garden.
The city has recently had the pleasure of introducing hop-on-hop-off bus tours of the southern areas. A round trip includes visits to sights such as Santarama mini-land, the infamous Carlton Centre and some of Johannesburg's finest architecture. The trip is not only a great way for introducing Johannesburg but makes for brilliant photo opportunities too.

Ask the Truth: Is it safe to swim in the Elkhart and St. Joseph rivers?
It turns out swimming in the rivers isn't a good idea. Find out why here.
One of the more scenic aspects of Elkhart is the rivers that twist and turn through the city's neighborhoods. On a hot summer day, it's tempting to head down to Island Park, bask in the sun and take a dip.
However, city officials said there are several reasons why swimming in the Elkhart and St. Joseph rivers is a bad idea.
Debris hidden beneath the water is a major concern, said Battalion Chief Scott Chris of the Elkhart Fire Department.
"There's just a lot of stuff that gets dumped in there," Chris said. "Here a few years back when they had to do work on the dam, they lowered it and we found a dozen cars, just in a stretch from McNaughton Park to the water treatment plant. I would imagine there are cars in there now."
Ask the Truth is a project started to answer your questions about the community. Each week readers send us questions, you vote for the one you want answered and we report on it the most popular one the next week.To send us a question, scroll to the bottom of the page and write it in the blue box.
Broken glass, fishing lures, picnic tables, bottles and cans are common at the rivers' bottoms as well. Stepping on debris is one concern; another is actually getting caught in it.
Currents, which can be particularly strong in the shallower, narrower Elkhart River, can become deadly when paired with large debris like tree branches and logs. These create "strainers," said Jerry Good, the Elkhart County Parks and Recreation Department's current marketing coordinator and former chief naturalist.
The concept is similar to a pasta strainer — only the debris is the strainer, you're the spaghetti and the quick flow of the river is the faucet. Though water can pass through strainers, people and objects can't.
"The current will want to push you downstream while you're attached to this strainer," Good said. "If you get caught up in those, it can be very serious."
Though the rivers' currents don't look that dangerous while driving past or looking down from a bridge, they can be deceptively strong.
"We went out one time where someone got themselves in a position in the river where they got themselves caught in a current in the deeper water, and they realized they couldn't get back," Chris said of an incident that happened near Island Park. "We had to send a boat out to get them."
Chris said the fire department responds to calls about people getting into trouble in the rivers about every other month.
Good said swimming near dams in the rivers is particularly dangerous.
"Little whirlpools are created where the water is actually flowing towards the dam instead of downstream," Good said. "These will not only pull you down, but they're very hard to get out of."
The cleanliness of the water also is an occasional safety issue. Gabe Cameron, environmental health supervisor with the Elkhart County Health Department, said rain will often cause the rivers to have high coliform levels due to runoff.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), coliform are bacteria measured as an indicator of the potential for harmful microbes, like E. Coli, in water. High levels of total coliform show there could be a problem, the EPA said.
Cameron said the department usually alerts the media when coliform measures reach dangerous levels. Swimming in the water while coliform levels are high could result in flu-like symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea, Cameron said.
"We always advise not to swallow the water and to wash your hands after being in the water," Cameron said.
Though Good said he's swam in the St. Joseph River before, he would not recommend it. Though swimming east of the St. Joseph River's dam just off Johnson Street is slightly safer, he said he wouldn't advocate doing that either. Good said he hopes anyone who tries is a very strong swimmer.
Both Good and Chris said letting children swim in the rivers is definitely a bad idea.
"If it were me, I wouldn't let my kids swim in the river," Chris said.

There is nothing like a small-town parade on the 4th of July. The scientists and volunteers at the DRI Storm Peak Lab (SPL) in Steamboat Springs, Colo. participated in this year's Steamboat Springs Fourth of July Parade. The parade theme was the "Greatest Summer on Earth." For more than 100 years the residents of Steamboat Springs have celebrated Independence Day in true western fashion, with a rodeo, parade and historic pioneer events.
"We had a great time participating in the parade. The city has embraced the Lab and it is great to be a part of some such a warm, hard-working community," said Gannet Hallar, Director ofStorm Peak Lab.
"Joining in the festivities was also a great way to celebrate Storm Peak's 30th Anniversary," Hallar added. Lab volunteer Blaze Arigo built the parade float highlighting the lab's signature snowflake. Arigo and other volunteers worked hard this past winter launching hundreds of weather balloons for the Department of Energy StormVEX field campaign.

With enough effort, anyone can establish a successful entry in the MOBA genre. But Waystone wanted to give players of their game a reason to care. As such, it has chosen to emphasize story and lore in Dawngate, something that both of its main competitors have let slide over time.
"The other big design challenge that we wanted to work on which was the notion of story," Lead Producer Dave Cerra tells us. "This is a pretty personal thing for a lot of us at the studio, we all consume comics and anime, and we're all hardcore MMO players - my guild was number seven on the Kilrogg server in WoW. We like that stuff a lot, so we're like, 'How can we bring this back into the genre?'"
Back into the genre we ask him? "Because ironically the genre came out of Warcraft III and that game's hero units," he explains, "and Blizzard had introduced those units to better tell their stories in an RTS, and along the way the notion of the story kind of got left by the wayside. I think it was the right thing for those games, I'm not saying they did the wrong thing at all, but there it is, like waiting.
So we said, 'Okay, we love this.' We think this is important and meaningful, are we crazy? And so we asked over a thousand active regular MOBA players, 'What games are you playing?' Because we didn't want to lead them and say, 'Do you want story with your MOBA?' And they were all playing Skyrim and RPGs, RTSs, and all these story driven games. And so we said, 'Okay, let's figure this out.'
Out of this their story driven experience was born. That's what Living Lore is," Cerra continues, "how do we make story meaningful for everybody and high quality for everybody without having it get in the way of people that just want to play their competitive game. The reception from the fans has been awesome.
Even here the developers incorporation of the community shows it's head. "Importantly, those choices they make are going to result in the discovery of new content that's then going to feed back in." Cerra explains a possible situation saying, "Hypothetically, if the players decide, through a choice that we give them, to have the North wage war of the West or whatever it is. They might find some amazing general along the way in the story arch, he then becomes a playable character in Dawngate. Or maybe it's a cosmetic item like a skin, they send Zalgus to go do something and he becomes corrupted and the players are like, 'Oh my God!' Then they get the corrupted Zalgus skin and they're like, 'This is bad***!'"
Cerra and his team understand that players become attached to each of these Shapers that they spend a long period of their time playing as. Being able to have an influence on that character is huge and something that Waystone doesn't underestimate.
"When you really break MOBAs down from an emotional connection point, you as a player are becoming excellent at playing the game in that specific way. You find your main, you find that character that's just like, 'Yeah, the whole game opens up when I play this character.'
"So how can we deepen that relationship? How can we make that even more meaningful for you? Bring him to life. The way that we're doing this, through the web comic, allows us to explore."
Shifting away from story we begin to talk about the current landscape of Dawngate and how Waystone is encouraging good behavior rather than focusing on punishing those who act outside the norm.
A big part of this is the game's reward system which as of this moment gives out rewards based on performance, first win of the day, how honorable you were, etc and can even grant out Shapers for free.
"We wanted to use that end of the game to do more than just go, 'Here's your grind currency.' Nothing wrong with that, that's fine, 'Cool I got my reward, I'm playing my free-to-play game, I have my experience.' But we saw it as an opportunity to reward different emotional levels, and we're not done with that system, more is coming there."
Cerra takes some time to explain how the current system works, "But this initial release we've got five different tiers and they're affected by: Did you win your game? How well did you play in the game? Was it your first win of the day? Etc. Etc. There's a random roll, and we feel that is broken, so we're going to do some work on that. (It creates some weird states that are unfortunate, you should always just feel good at the end of your game)
"Again, you can't find these things until you go into it. But we wanted to tie that into some of our philosophy around addressing toxicity in the game. Because I agree with you, I think the loot system is pretty unique, and so we said, 'Okay, how can we use this to encourage the behavior we want to see?' So before you go into that loot screen you've got the opportunity to vote on everybody in the game, but only up votes, no down votes. . .We want to encourage positive behavior, not focus attention on negative behavior and react to that. . .There's a lot that's going on under the hood behind that [and] that karma then gets directly applied to your loot roll."
After a long winded explanation Cerra summarizes it with four key words, "What we're saying to players is, 'Don't be a jerk.'
"The reason we're giving away Shapers in those higher tiers is because that's money, that's literally money, or grind currency, time, that you now don't have to spend. So you can go be a jerk and you won't get any karma and it'll just slow you down. [So] don't be a jerk.
Where does Cerra see this path taking Waystone in the future? Where the community wants for one, but he also knows the team will continue to understand exactly what direction the game will be heading in. Right now there are a ton of different possibilities depending on how their latest efforts play out.
"I think in six months from now we will have learned a hell of a lot about Living Lore and what's working there and what's not. The commitment there is very strong, we've got a three person team of pros that are putting that experience together. That could grow into something even more, it could be animated at some point, I don't know," Cerra admits, "we're going to see how that works for people."
"The community is pushing us toward eSports," he predictably says. "From Day Zero, we've made all of our design decisions with eSports in mind, but we also don't feel that you can just go in and buy your way or force your way into eSports. People have to raise that up and say, 'We want to express our mastery of this game in that way.' So we're starting to build features to support the community – spectating 1.0 feature will be coming soon-ish."
"If Living Lore does what it's already starting to do and we continue to support the community with eSports focused features, my suspicion is that we will see a community that's very interested in the entertainment side and very interested in exploring the competitive side.
"We'll just keep building features to support that," Cerra firmly states.
He's quick to lighten the mood again however, "I expect the community's going to go, 'Give us tournament mode!' And we're going to go, 'We hear you loud and clear!' These are champagne problems, right? Wherever the players want, we can take the game wherever the players want and that's the whole point."
We'd like to thank Dave Cerra, Electronic Arts, and the rest of the Waystone Games team for taking the time to talk with us about Dawngate.

Mundy Branch Library is the newest branch library
facility in the city of Syracuse, incorporating modern
technology with traditional library services. It serves
the Westside, Southwest and Strathmore neighborhoods
and their schools: Bellevue, Blodgett, Delaware, Roberts,
Seymour, Most Holy Rosary, Shea and Fowler.
Mundy Branch was named after Ezekiel Wilson Mundy, city librarian from 1880 until his retirement in 1916. It opened its doors in 1917 as a station in Salt City Store at 401 S. Geddes Street. Its location changed three times before settling into its present home at 1204 S. Geddes Street in 1988.
Mundy Branch offers a wide array of popular books, magazines, videos, DVDs, audiobooks on cassette and compact disc, computer software, large print materials and music CDs for loan to people of all ages. We specialize in Spanish, English and bilingual materials for Hispanic customers living locally and throughout Onondaga County.
In addition, the library provides programs of interest to adults, children and families. These include an annual summer Music and Ice Cream Social, a book sale each fall, Thursday morning story times, afterschool craft activities and a countywide reading program for children and teens each summer. We sponsor our own year round reading program called Tails to Tell. This is a fun and rewarding opportunity for elementary school-age children to read one-on-one to a real, live and gentle dog. See the above link for more information.
Mundy has a photocopier and PCs for public use. Free access to the Internet, electronic databases and word processing is available with a valid library card. Instruction, by library staff, in the basics of the Internet, email and word processing is provided by appointment.
A 37-person meeting room is available and regularly hosts such community groups as Syracuse United Neighbors.

Greyhounds are unique dogs in that they have a short primary or guardcoat and do not have an undercoat. Although this makes them one of the least shedding dogs, it also makes them susceptible to extremes in weather.
One of the great outcomes is that you can make your ex-racing Greyhound the most stylish dog on the block!
There are several options to ensure that your ex-racing Greyhound is protected from the climate.
Coats can include a water-proof cover with a softer inside that warms and protects the Greyhound. Many coats come with detachable hoods or "snoods" to keep the neck and ears warm. Some of the coats lie more on the top of the Greyhound while some wrap around the stomach for a more secure fit and to warm the tummy.
Fabrics include a sturdy canvas for taking a walk in the snow to warm fleece for just a touch of warmth.
It is important not only to address the cold, but also extreme heat. An insulated chill coat that soaks in cool water and secured around the dog can protect them from hotter weather.
Another must-have accessory is booties to complete the ensemble and to ensure protected paws. Cold weather or hot pavement can damage or injure the pads on the bottom of the paw.
There are many companies and individuals that address the specific needs of Greyhounds for the weather and you no longer need to sacrifice fashion for utility.

Everyone bracing themselves for the Vampire Diaries season finale tonight? If you need some teases, EP Caroline Dries has spoken with TV Guide about what we're in for tonight.
"The finale will have major effects on our characters and they all will have their own way of dealing and moving on. We think of it as the college metaphor. You leave for college and then when you come home to visit, everything feels a little different and eventually you realize you don't really live there anymore."

Need a few hints of what's to come when The Vampire Diaries returns with No Exit (EP514) tonight? EP Caroline Dries has you covered with a few new interviews. At TVLine, she talks about Katherine-as-Elena's plans for Stefan, whether Elena will be back, and Damon's path:
"It's not going to be an easy road for Damon to come back, because what he did was pretty bad. What we're trying to explore is, now that Stefan is moving on from Elena after this whole Katherine chapter closes, he's trying to figure out the next big movement in his life. And since his brother needs him more than ever, Stefan will be the one to kind of pick him up — in a very Stefan kind of way."
She also talks Matt, Tyler, Caroline, and more.
And over at TV Guide, Dries discusses the complex relationships between the Salvatores, Elena, and Katherine, and how they will affect things going forward. On Damon's infection:
"We knew what we were doing when we put this in him, but at the same time it's like, 'OK, what do we do now because he actually might not get out of it?' So Damon's objective is: How do I survive without killing all my friends who happen to be the thing I want to eat?"

Wondering what's in store for season five of The Vampire Diaries given all the changes with Elena and company headed to college and the Originals headed to their own show? Executive producer Caroline Dries sat down with Give Me My Remote for a wide-ranging interview that touched on what the season has in store for virtually all the characters, including how Bonnie deals with her death and what Damon and Elena look like as a couple.
Given all of the changes in season 5 — losing several dynamic characters, graduation, college– what do you feel has been the biggest challenge of the new season?
Caroline Dries: It's interesting, a lot of people have asked that [about losing the Original family], but we ended on such a strong cliffhanger with Silas, a huge villain; [and] Katherine is a human, [which is] a huge dynamic character shift for the show. So we've had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to villains. It's not like there's a huge void in the show, even though the Original vampires added a cool texture to it. The finale just launched us into this whole thing.
I remember at the end of season 1, when we were breaking season 2, we had ended season 1 with like 900,000 cliffhangers, and we sat in the writers room like, "Does anyone have any ideas of how to pick up the pieces?" We had enough on our plate [for season 5]. We knew we wanted Elena to go to college. It's a new world. We can let THE ORIGINALS go to New Orleans.

We've all seen the Graduation (EP423 – Season Finale) stills, so how about some intel? Julie Plec talked to Entertainment Weekly about the season finale as well as the penultimate episode, The Walking Dead (EP422). On the graduation event itself:
"It's difficult to throw an event in Mystic Falls without it going catastrophically awry, but one of the things that was really important to us is that we do give this event itself its due . . . We made sure that in spite of everything that's going on in the midst of it, we still get those great friendship moments and nostalgia moments that I, as a fan of TV over the decades, loved so much on high school shows as you reached that milestone."
She also talks about the dropping of the veil, someone taking the cure, Elena's and Caroline's feelings about their potential relationships, and more.

The last few episodes of The Vampire Diaries have been eventful, to say the least, so it's time for some postmortems: executive producer Julie Plec has done a bunch of interviews in the wake of the big, huge events of Down the Rabbit Hole (EP414) and Stand by Me (EP415), but we don't want to risk spoiling anyone in the U.K. or other countries that aren't quite up to date with the show. And these interviews, obviously, are really spoilery. So we're giving you the links, and you can read at your own risk. Enjoy!

TVLine has some more from their talk with Julie Plec about the Salvatores, Klaus, Caroline & Tyler, and more coming up in the second half of season four. This passage about Klaus is intriguing:
"The beauty of Klaus, much like Damon, is that his horrible misdeeds are all born out of a place of a complete lack of trust and faith as a result of being repeatedly betrayed and rejected in his life. I'm not saying I excuse his horrific behavior, but it's born from a very human place. Once someone's got a strong core of humanity, there's hope for them – [they may] just not necessarily wake up tomorrow as Man of the Year. Klaus will continue to be a very complicated character. Much like Damon in the first couple seasons, when he feels backed up against the wall, he lashes out in very, very destructive ways. It makes it impossible to forgive. And yet, the redemption of Klaus as a character-long arc is something we always talk about."

Happy premiere day! If you woke up in desperate need of some Vampire Diaries content to get you through your morning, you're in luck: Julie Plec talked to TV Guide about Elena's transition and how it affects her and the triangle. Without getting into too many of the specifics (click through if you want to see!), we can give you this interesting bit:
"Elena is uncompromising about is the length she'll go to protect the people she cares about and as a vampire that takes on a whole new meaning. So I do think there is some element of concern on the part of her closest friends to make sure she's not losing her way or losing sight of herself in all this – especially how it relates to the Salvatore brothers."
And in the first Vampire Diaries Bite video of the season, Robyn Ross gives some tantalizing teases about the premiere. (Warning: Slightly spoilery! Watch at your own risk!)

On Monday June 2, 2014 through a press release statement now former CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer resigned from his position effective immediately.
Since the details of Schaefer's role with Golden Boy Promotions were not clear neither were his plans for the future outlined we can only speculate and assume. Over the next week it will be fun for fans to do just that.
However this may not be that big of a news story considering recent power struggle between Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoy, the promotions founder. The writing was on the wall.
Of course the biggest question will be will Schaefer work with Mayweather Promotions? Probably not in the near future.
Will Schaefer leave the sport of boxing all together?
Considering his ego and distain for Top Rank and Bob Arum, he will figure out a way to stay around in attempt to burry Arum while De La Hoya "buries the hatchet" with Arum.
So now what about the Cold War?
In an attempt to get Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions working together it was Oscar De La Hoya who extended the olive branch. It was Richard Schaefer that refused to work with Arum. Now it looks like boxing's Cold War as produced its' first casualty.
What is next for Schaefer and GBP?

Reviews for Chicken in Basil Cream
"This was as delicious as it was easy and quick to make! I used fresh parmesan and the fresh basil was the icing on the cake. I used chicken quarters because that's what I had. I am going to try the sauce on shrimp over pasta next."
"Easy to make"
"The chicken and the sauce turned out delicious~ this really is a 30 minute meal. It is a very easy recipe that even a beginner cook could make. I also left out the pimentos and it turned out excellent!"
"This dish is very easy and delicious. I make it with chicken tenders instead of breast. The left over sauce is good on potatoes or rice. Looks hard and company will think you are a gourmet cook, but this really is easy and very pretty looking. Fresh basil is a must to get the best results."
"I make this very simply dish all the time. Absolutely excellent!"

We love replying to positive comments and helping y'all out with Personal Shopper posts, gift ideas, and general shopping mayhem. But... (You knew there was a but, didn't you? You smart creature, you!) There's been a lot of Negative Nelly comments lately, some downright rude, and we feel like it bums out our otherwise simpatico Outblush universe and leaves a nasty taste in everyone's mouths.
You might catch a typo or an error in a link, and that's fine - we're human, after all.You might not like every single item we choose, and that's fine, too - we've all got different styles, and we editors even disagree with one another sometimes, which is why we introduced the Agree to Disagree feature.
Sometimes, you loyal and loving readers get kinda cranky about our product picks, and that made us wonder - what could a shopping site feature that everyone on the planet would love? Candy! Rainbows! Kittens! Puppies! Rolf from The Muppets singing "It's A Wonderful World" to puppies! Here - have some!
How can anyone surfing Outblush be in a bad mood?! I wish the site updated 24/7. Puppycutenessheartattack!
That makes me sad! You guys do a great thing here and it's free for readers!!! C'mon, people. Be nice to the fine folks at Outblush. A personal fashion consultant is EXPENSIVE and I've never known another site to offer to search out a killer red dress or strappy sandals.
awww. you can't please everyone! i love outblush!!! and uncrate!!! two my my ten bookmark bar favorites!
What are you thinking putting regular Skittles up!? Don't you know that I personally hate that candy and prefer the wildberry variety? GOD!
All kidding aside, y'all need to keep on doing what you do, just as you do. I have found so many great products via Outblush for myself and my loved ones who have tastes that don't match my own.
Ew. Really? Negative comments? Why, because you strapped them down and forced them to browse Outblush?
I think there should be a filter that catches negative words and in order to bypass it you must submit your own product pick...then we can all go at 'em [without risking our jobs]. Just sayin'.
Thanks OB chickies...LOVE what you do!
PS - Hear's a usage error for all of the brats that have nothing better to do. :)
I LOVE OUTBLUSH - yes occasionally there are some strange picks up, but variety is the spice of life! Keep up the good work Outblush staffers ...
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! This post was hilarious. :)
i love outblush! it gets me through my boring desk job every day. PLUS, you guys helped me pick out my lovely Sarah Seven wedding dress. My own mother couldn't have done better. Keep up the good work!
I have been a faithful reader since the minute Outblush was formed from the Uncrate blog (which I still surf for presents for boyfriends/dads). You guys are hilarious and always pick the CUTEST merchandise to blog about. Whoever these "Debbie Downer" readers are can mosey on over to another site. Keep up the good work ladies!! (Ps-The Muppets are the cure to all the worlds' sadness!)
Eek! I totally adore Outblush, but I admit I have posted some stuff that could be interpreted in a really negative way (soccer clogs & crocs: (burn 'em all!"). I can't honestly say that I meant it to be hateful, disrespectful, offensive, negative or just plain rude - I just chose to share my opinion, too. :(
Hi all!
Thanks so much - you are totally making our collective day!
We don't mind comments on what you think about items - hence Doubtblush & Agree to Disagree & You Tell Us - and we get pretty snarky ourselves, but we don't love hearing, "ugh, you have bad taste. Outblush sucks." That's a different thing altogether.
Thanks again!
I love this site and I don't miss a single day! Some people are simply negative and it's the only thing they know. Sad but true. While I don't like everything you share, so what? THANK YOU for doing such a good job! I can't wait to see what you have next for us!
I'll admit, I'm a grammar Nazi (probably because I'm an English teacher). I should correct students only not adults. I love Outblush.
Don't feel bad, Kat! We can feel the humor in your posts. We love dry wit. ;)
Seriously, keep 'em coming!
Really, ya'll are awesome! Love the site! Yay for shopping without spending any money!! Keep it up!
OMG the LOVE! <3 No, really, can't you all feel it in this thread? Clearly these readers are just as amazing as the peeps behind the posts (where the HECK do you find all this awesome stuff?!).
I really had no idea that people posted such stuff as Janetor mentioned. I'm sooo glad it wasn't me - my ego would have to be hospitalized for sure. So, um, how 'bout some martinis with those Skittles? I mean, this whole thing is kind of a victory, right? :D
Lovelovelove Outblush. Your picks run the style and www gamut. Love that. AND I've purchased many of your picks for myself and as gifts.
Please keep on keepin' on Chicas!
Oh NOES! So sorry (I don't think you mean me - ms snarky herself). Srsly though - this is not only fun stuff IT'S VOLUNTARY, FOLKS! Don't read if you don't like. it's not like your parents are tying you down and forcing you to watch/read!
ahem Crystal- I mean Negative Nancy's- are no fun.
Good for you for sticking up for yourselves! I don't understand why some people HAVE to find something to complain about. If it's a constructive comment, voice it so others can benefit from it, or at least have something to think about. If it isn't constructive, keep your negativity to yourself.
Exactly! We have no problems with constructive criticisms, differences of opinions, or even snarkiness, like I said earlier, but just plain meanness towards us is quite another thing.
Thank you all for the love! It's so nice! :) :) :)
LOL!!! I love you guys, ANYTIME Im in a jam to find the perfect gift for someone you guys ALWAYS help out. so there to the Negative Nelly's!!!

A 24-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting of an Alabama man whose body was found inside a vehicle off a DeKalb County road early Thursday morning.
Joseph Arnold was charged with murder in the shooting, which happened in the neighborhood where he lived off Glenwood Road, according to DeKalb County police.
The DeKalb County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the victim as 27-year-old Gerrard Osborne. Police said he was only in town visiting before returning to Alabama where he lived with his mother. But it's unclear who he was visiting and if the person lived in the neighborhood where he was killed.
The shooting happened around 4 a.m. in the 3500 block of Misty Valley Road, police said. Officers arrived at the location to find Osborne dead inside a vehicle, which had ended up in a ditch on the side of the road, police spokesman Capt. Stephen Fore said. The Alabama man had been shot multiple times, Fore said.
Investigators said Arnold was outside along with several other people when Osborne showed up in the area. He and the suspect got into an argument and police said Arnold allegedly pulled out a weapon and fired into the vehicle, striking the victim several times. It's unclear what the argument was about, but police said the two men were acquaintances.
Arnold was apprehended at the scene and taken into the police station for questioning along with the witnesses who were at the scene, Fore said. Arnold, of Misty Valley Road, was charged late Thursday afternoon and transported to the DeKalb County jail, the spokesman said. He did not know if investigators were able to seize the murder weapon.

I have a number of cd's with some of my windows 7 files, i.e Musical compositions/pictures and other data. Is there a way to convert them to be used with Ubuntu?
Music (.MP3, .FLAC, .WAV etc), Documents (.TXT,.DOC,.DOCX,.XLS,.XLSX,.PPT,.PPTX,.PDF etc), Pictures (.PNG, .JPEG, .GIF, .TIF, .SVG etc) can all be used fine in Ubuntu. In fact, Ubuntu will take more different files than Windows 7. Computer files are not specific for any OS. What might not work out-of-the-box in Ubuntu are game files, since they will most likely be in binary format, specifically for the game they were used for. But even this often works by using Wine or PlayOnLinux.
