by Dante Alighieri
Paradiso Paradise Canto XVI: (Fifth Heaven: Sphere of Mars) Summary
- Dante takes a short break to bask in his glory.
- He turns back to Cacciaguida and shows him a great sign of respect by addressing him with the formal form of you, usually reserved for nobility.
- Dante calls Cacciaguida "my father" and says that his nobility has given him the confidence to ask further questions. Dante wants to know who Cacciaguida's ancestors were, when Cacciaguida lived, and who virtuously followed St. John (patron saint of Florence) at the time.
- Cacciaguida grows brighter with gladness, then answers in a style of speech sweeter than the harsh modern style. He answers Dante's second question, about the year of his birth, first. Starting from the date of Christ's conception and adding 530 revolutions of Mars (because he resides there) around the Earth, we get the date 1091.
- Of Dante's ancestors, Cacciaguida says only they that they were born at the point where the competitors in the annual horse race enter the field.
- Cacciaguida then falls silent about the ancestors because, on that subject, "silence—not speech—is more appropriate."
- In response to Dante's last question, Cacciaguida says that St. John's followers included one-fifth of the entire Florentine population.
- Cacciaguida laments that Florence doesn't have the smaller boundaries today that it did in the beginning. If it did, he says, Florentines might still be virtuous, pure-blooded Florentines. He even goes so far to blame interracial mixing as the root of evil in Florence.
- Cacciaguida then names a bunch of families who had illustrious names in good Florence and some families who were starting to go bad. He generally claims that the families and the clergy of the past were honorable people, but that time has seen the clerics become corrupt. Time has had a bad effect on poor Florence.
- In fact, back in the glory days, "there was nothing to have caused her (Florence) sorrow." Things were so good that in Florence's emblem—the white lily on a red field—the lily was never stained blood-red by war between Florentine factions, nor were the colors reversed (to a red lily on a white field) by the Guelphs against the Ghibellines.

So...one of my close friends has made it clear from the start that she's planning to throw me a shower. I'm 25 weeks & there's been no talk about WHEN the shower will be, but I know she's still planning on doing it. I just don't know if it's my place to ask when??
Also, my in-laws live about an hour away & have a whole big group of family friends from their church that I know would want to be a part of a shower (they all threw us a wedding shower 4 years ago). Do I invite 30 some ladies to the shower here in my town, or somehow ask my mother-in-law to throw me one an hour away so all those people can attend one there (like with our wedding shower)?
I'm not wanting to expect too much or take advantage of people. Ya know? For reference, I live in the southeast...In case location helps people understand the social dynamic.

- Understanding how keyframes work under the hood
- Controlling the Anchor Point to create more predictable animations
- Mastering the Graph Editor for the ultimate control over keyframes
- Animating parameters including motion paths
- Hand-drawing motion paths to simplify complex movements
- Applying and tweaking Motion Blur
- Using Hold keyframes
Skill Level Beginner
Auto Bezier keyframes are great if you need to smooth a speedy transition but a value is still going to be changing before and after the keyframe. If instead it's the first or the last keyframe and you want to gradually start up or gradually come to the stop, that's where the Easy Ease keyframe type comes in. Now, there is a couple of different ways to select the Easy Ease keyframe type. One way is to right-click on the Keyframe and look underneath the Keyframe Assistant submenu.
Here you'll see three different types of Easy Ease: Easy Ease In, gradually slow down to a stop as you approach a keyframe; Easy Ease Out, gradually accelerate away from a stop as you leave a keyframe; or Easy Ease, do both--slow down and come to the stop as you come into a keyframe, then gradually accelerate away from that keyframe as you move on in time. Since this is the first keyframe in my animation, I can select either Easy Ease Out, or just Easy Ease. Release the mouse, RAM Preview, and now you will see that this snowflake takes off gradually from that first keyframe.
It still ends abruptly, because I have not edited that last keyframe, but at the beginning of the animation is a nice slow take-off from that initial position. Let's go ahead and use Easy Ease to come to a gradual stop as well. I'll select that ending keyframe, and in this case I'll use the keyboard shortcut F9. By the way, those on the Mac will find that Expose takes over some of your function keys; you'll need to go into System Preferences, in Expose and turn off those preferences. I'll press F9. I've got an Easy Ease type on this end and I'll RAM-preview.
And now I've got a smooth position animation easing out from my initial position and then easing in to my final at-rest position. Now just like Auto Bezier, Easy Ease is not really a spatial type of keyframe; it's just automatically entering numbers for me. If I Option+Double-click or Alt+Double- click my keyframe, I'll see that it's change the speed to zero for both the Incoming and Outgoing Velocity; it comes to a complete stop. And that's a broader influence in Auto Bezier, in this case, about 33.3% influence.
That gives me a gradual deceleration and acceleration as I come into and leave this keyframe. You can also look at this in the Graph Editor if you like, and you'll see these nice gradual curves as we come into that Easy Ease keyframe and come out of that Easy Ease keyframe. Now Easy Ease only works for when a value starts and stops animating. It does not work so well if a parameter is supposed to continuously change through that keyframe. Just to demonstrate that, I'll take these position keyframes in the middle of my animation, go down to the Graph Editor's handy shortcut for Easy Ease, right there.
You'll see what's happened in the graph. It comes all the way down to zero speed and takes off again. As I RAM-preview, you'll see well, this is not really what I had in mind. The snowflake stops and picks up again. So Easy Ease rarely works well in the middle of an animation. It's far better at the end points of an animation. I'll stop, undo, and get back to my previous smooth animation. So Auto Bezier and Easy Ease are two great shortcuts beginners can use to add instant refinement to their animations.
Later on in this lesson, I'll show how you can gain even further control and refinement over those animation moves. But next, I want to move into another little-known, but very important part of animating inside After Effects, something known as the Anchor Point.

We looked out and no one was behind us. However, she informed us we blocked her and she had to drive in the grass. We had parked there because it was the closest to the door and we wanted to load the dog as carefully and quickly as possible. The length of time we were there (over an hour!) was purely on their part. In the meantime, I watched 3 cars easily drive around us and even spoke with the lawn service and they said we were not blocking them at all. Finally, the vet returned and we were trying to take care of the bill. We noticed the total they gave seemed high ($950 is what they told us). We looked at the bill and noticed they charged us for a service my friend had passed on. They did, indeed fix it, however gave us a total of $913 after the adjustment. They had adjusted the bill about $65 and we inquired as to why the total was still off (do the math, 950-65 is not 913). Finally, after having to request a print out, I noticed they gave us the wrong total initially. The total was $986 not $950, 950 was the quote. In that case, the math did work out. The staff was incredibly rude to us while we were asking how come the bill wasn't right-in fact it was because of their incompetence, they quoted us the wrong amount originally. They could have easily apologized, but instead treated us like we were wrong to question them-despite this being their fault. Finally, after
figuring the bill out, my friend wrote a check for the amount. They said they needed an I.D. My friend told them that she didn't have her purse and said she has been a client and had written checks there before. The tech responded with "oh well you just happened to not have a check earlier either." Basically, accused my friend of lying! At that point, I couldn't stand it and informed them they were being incredibly rude and to accuse my friend of lying was beyond inappropriate-
especially of a long time customer who was very upset her dog being in pain. We told them we could not believe how short they were being with us. At that point, Teresa disappeared into the back and before we knew it, a vet (I'm assuming Dr. Chris Lendman-older guy, gray hair) came charging at us, YELLING at us and pointing his finger in our faces! He accused us of abusing the staff and cussing at them-WHICH WE DID NOT DO AT ALL AND HE WAS NOT EVEN THERE TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did not try to figure out what he issue was, he had literally just gotten back and had NO IDEA how rudely the staff had been that entire time. He was yelling at us in front of other customers and wouldn't give us a chance to explain our side of the story at all-he just went right down our throats. We were concerned about the dog and our horses and all we were trying to do was pay and get the dog comfortably moved into the vehicle. I was completely taken aback at how out of line he was and, in all honesty, that was the worst service skills I've ever witnessed. This vet and these staff members had NO EMPATHY or understanding at all. They are a garbage staff-utterly and completely garbage. Neither he nor the staff gave us any discharge
instructions. We were not even so much as helped until a very nice young man (dark hair, looked like a vet, but his name doesn't appear to be on the vet bill header) got the dog and helped load her. He had the decency to at least apologize to us. My friend has spent a lot of money at this clinic and has had a very traumatizing week after learning her poor dog has bone cancer and had to have a leg removed. It is appalling and unacceptable to be treated this way by a VET CLINIC THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS AND PETS!!!!!! My friend left in tears-not only was she upset about her dog, but she was belittled and treated with NO RESPECT by a vet and the pathetic staff members. I will NEVER EVER recommend this animal clinic to anyone, nor will we be back. I have been in the pet industry for over 15 years and also hold a master's degree in business and I can say the professionalism I saw today is unprecedented in my experience. This could have all been avoided had we been shown a little respect and courtesy and had things explained to us politely. As a vet clinic, you should expect owners to be concerned for their pets, as well as emotional at times when there has been trauma. When you do not explain things or act in a caring way with customers, it's even more upsetting and stressful.
I do not wish a good future for State Street Animal Clinic in Belvidere, Illinois. I will use this terrible customer service experience as an example to my staff of how NOT to treat people, especially your customers-the backbone of your business.

Interior project for a commercial space, marked by the use of natural materials for furniture and flooring, brushed and waxed oak. The project is characterized by the redefinition of high height spaces with the addition of two plaster wings with an irregular and stereometric pattern and the dematerialisation of structures camouflaged by a layer of enamel black paint. Large reflecting surfaces contribute the multiplication of views. neutral natural oak was chosen for its flexibility in relating the different colors and styles of shoes.

I am a brand new user with virtually no computer code experience. I am having a lot of fun with WordPress and have been impressing all of my friends. I am having one issue that I just can not get past.
My website is http://www.midwestsalt.net. I loaded the HTTPS for WordPress plug-in and checked internal and external https elements. My issue is when a user loads the site they navigate to an http page everything is find, then click to our https link which is an eStoreFront page and the user receives an IE security warning. The user then clicks back to the the very first link on our website and the page stays https vs. going back to http.
The two issues:
1. Why would a user receive the https security warning?
2. Why does the https hold after clicking back to an http page?
I appreciate your suggestions.

Hello everyone :)
The charts I create using this plugin look great in Fire Fox, Chrome, and Safari browsers, but in Internet Explorer 10, 9, and 8 the chart's height is shrunk. This image shows what I am talking about.
Even when I don't make any edits to the CSS and keep the shortcode as simple as this [wp_charts title="linechart" type="line"] the chart still doesn't display correctly in Internet Explorer.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any help will be much appreciated!

This is my small "Captain's Cabin Contest" entry. It is obviously a ship's kitchen. The crew has never done much cleaning. The chef is fighting back a monster sticking it's tentacle out of the sink. His peg legged assistant is slipping on a spilled puddle of left over soup, as the oven is bursting with fire from the over cooked pizzas.

Is the Super Bowl curse upon us? Wherein the SB loser plays less than stellar ball the following year and misses the playoffs altogether? I am not bailing on my team, I'm jus' sayin'.
DRC looked set to take over the world at the end of last year and this preseason in back to back games he has struggled mightily. Sure, its preseason. A preseason when the Cardinals are out of sync and not playing disciplined ball.
With minutes left to go in their final tuneup for the regular season, they are scoreless and about to be 0-4. Not reason for panic, but certainly reason for concern.

Anne Ambler of Neighbors of Northwest Branch and Erol Miller, Northwood teacher, are happy with the work done by their respective groups and all others in the partnership. Ed Murtagh photo.
Two of southern Montgomery County's largest green spaces -- Sligo Creek and Northwest Branch Parks -- are now connected thanks to the work of dedicated volunteers who recently completed a half-mile extension of the Northwood Chesapeake Bay Trail in Breewood Park.
The project was completed by the volunteers under a public/private partnership between the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, Northwood High School, Neighbors of Northwest Branch and Montgomery County Department of Parks.
The first phase of the trail project was completed in June 2010. In April 2011, volunteers constructed more of the trail, extending it to University Blvd. Finally, in November, 25 students and community volunteers built the half-mile extension of the trail in Breewood Park
The new segment connects Sligo Creek Park, just below University Blvd. (on the Parkway across from the last playground), to Northwest Branch Park at the Loxford Terrace connector trail. The new trail section is part of a two-mile trail planned and installed by the partnership over the last three years.
DEP's role in the partnership included assisting in the removal of invasive plants and trash to improve the health of the nearby stream. The agency continues to monitor water quality in the stream near the trail and plans to perform a stream restoration and install bioretention areas in the future. A bioretention system is a facility that filters stormwater runoff from hard surfaces like streets and sidewalks through a soil bed planted with native plants. This process removes pollutants and filters water before releasing it downstream. In partnership with the County's Department of Transportation, DEP has installed some of its first bioretention systems on nearby Arcola Ave.
For more information about the trail project, contact Northwood Chesapeake Bay Trail Project Coordinator Jennifer Chambers at email@example.com.

Hi all,
I'm one of those switching over from the ranks of the MT faithful :p Used MT for a long time but decided it was time to switch recently. I looked at a few PHP based systems and WP seemed to be the one to best suit my needs. I first needed to write some stuff to make the changeover easier for me but again, WP made it so much easier for me since PHP just seems such an intuitive language to me. So if anybody wants to take a gander, my site is at: http://sm.farook.org

Former USC Aiken baseball standouts Stephen Carmon and Billy Rice received their 2013 minor league assignments this week.
A member of the San Diego Padres organization, Carmon will begin his second professional campaign with the Fort Wayne (Ind.) TinCaps of the Class A Midwest League. Rice will commence his second year in the Chicago White Sox organization with the Class A Advanced Winston-Salem (N.C.) Dash of the Carolina League.
Carmon was picked in the 10th Round of the 2012 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He was the seventh pick of the 10th round and the 315th pick overall.
In his first professional season, Carmon spent time with the short-season Class-A Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League and the Class-A Advanced Lake Elsinore Storm of the California League.
Rice is in his fourth season of pro ball, after spending his first two seasons in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. In 2011, he split his time between the Gulf Coast League and the South Atlantic League. Rice hit .293 in 35 games played with the Lakewood Blue Claws of the South Atlantic League in 2011.
Rice had been playing with the Camden River Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League in 2012 before signing with the White Sox. Rice was hitting .300 with 11 runs scored in 17 games for the Riversharks in 2012. Rice spent time with the Single-A Kannapolis Intimidators and the Dash in 2012.
Carmon and Rice are part of a long line of former Pacers to go on to play professional baseball. USCA has had 21 different Major League Baseball organizations draft or sign a former Pacer.
Carmon and Rice aren't the only former Pacers playing currently as Gary Lee is currently a member of the Washington (Pa.) Wild Things of the independent Frontier League. Lee was chosen to the Frontier League All-Star Team in the 2012 season.
The former Pacers aren't the only players with connections to Aiken that are pursuing professional baseball careers. The Tampa Bay Rays have two players in their organization with ties to the area.
Both Marty Gantt and Taylor Guerrieri are on the roster for the Bowling Green Hot Rods – the Rays Class A affiliate. Both Gantt and Guerrieri played for North Augusta High School but took different routes to the pros. Gantt went to college – first at Spartanburg Methodist, then at College of Charleston before the Rays took the left fielder in the seventh round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft. Guerrieri, a right-handed pitcher, spent his senior year at Spring Valley High School and was selected by the Rays in the first round (24th overall) of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. Guerrieri is rated as the Rays' No. 2 overall prospect by MLB.com and didn't walk a batter in the 2012 season.
Another North Augusta alum playing professionally is Jackson Whitley. A first baseman, Whitley was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels and spent last season with AZL Angels. Whitley was picked in the 13th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, when the Angels took him with the 405th overall selection.
In high school, Whitley faced former South Aiken southpaw Andrew Faulkner, who's currently a part of the Texas Rangers organization. The left-handed pitcher was selected in the 14th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft and spent last season playing in the South Atlantic League for the Hickory Crawdads.

...And I Dance
The Dark Unknowing
Hanso vs Varren
Darkness stretched in all directions. An infinite void. Floating in the darkness was a small platform, of uprooted earth. There were several other platforms that seemed to lead to nowhere. the path was illuminated by an unseen light which seemed so dim. The absolute silence, the likes of which no one can find in the real world, a most unsettling sound. A demon waits, hiding in the darkness. He knows a visitor is on the way. What a joy to have a guest. Someone to play with.
Looking back, if he were to live long enough to look back, Hanso would have felt that Sovereign's mind had been, to date, perhaps the most difficult that the SharpEye twins had broken into. It was like a massive stone wall of darkness that they were drilling into, a catastrophic storm that left any it struck spiraling to their death. Well, if it could have been described in the first place.
After forever, or a split second, Hanso found himself on a small earthen platform. Turning revealed to him the infinite void, the dimly lit path of platforms, the absolute silence.
Don't think I've seen a mind like this before, have you?
Wait. Hanso turned again, then looked around once more.
Snap! Where'd the others go? Brynn! Vera!
No reply. It was as if their network had dissolved.
Except we've never separated before.
Facing the path once more, Hanso sighed, then stepped forward to cross. He could not see where the path ended, or if it did, but it seemed that this mind's occupants had some rules of their own. At least for now.
Each platform bobbed, like boat floating on the water, with each step Hanso took. The path seemed to go on forever as Hanso moved ever forward. "What is this? A mouse caught in a trap? What fun! I've been needing some entertainment, it does get rather dull around here, and it has been so long since I had a guest." The voice was wicked, and harsh. To anyone who was familiar, he sounded just like he belonged in an old gang from Albia.
"What shall we do to pass the time, Hanso? Last time we met we had so much fun. And I'm sure you'll find that I have so much more I can do here. So, what shall we do...?"
Hanso halted as the voice began speaking, chills running down his back. He tried to shake the feeling as he looked around again. There was no sign of another being that he could see, but it would be difficult for the Gallade to forget the voice. "Varren. You're the one I came for, actually."
A mouse in a trap. Was that what this path here was? Hanso turned back to look the way he'd come. "I suppose it won't end if I go back, will it?"
As luck would have it, that was exactly what Hanso needed to do. A door of grand scale and design had appeared right behind him as he turned to look back. The door was white, and was decorated with oddly gothic designs. It screamed fancy, on a decadent scale. The door had a ring knocker, held by a modeled head of a Druddigon.
"How nice of you to finally arrive. Do come in, the guests are waiting ever so patiently for your arrival, but I'm afraid the party has started without you."
Party? Another one?
Though I couldn't call wakin' up in a room with an Abra and plenty of food a party, after being gassed.
Hanso cautiously approached the door, eyes roaming over the designs. It struck him as something a homicidal killer might appreciate.
Looking around one more time to make sure he wasn't being snuck up on, Hanso lifted the ring knocker and let it drop. How long before he could take charge?
The sound of the knocker echoed across the empty abyss. As the ringing came to a halt, the door cracked open, a blinding light pouring through. When the light subsided, the door was found to be hanging open, with an open, white, ball room inside. There was a stair way in the back of the room, which split off in both directions. The room was decorated as if for a grand celebration. The room was completely void of life, however. The sound of a band playing a joyous dance tune could be heard. It would be most relaxing if not for the fact that every single not was off key, resulting in a most disturbing atmosphere.
"Come in, come in. We have been so bored without you. Please, liven the party!"
Hanso couldn't help but be a little smart-aleck. "Certainly needs livening up," he called back. "Trying to combine a ball and a mausoleum, are you?" Though normally, dead Pokemon were buried in mausoleums.
He needed to keep the atmosphere from getting to him, needed to not freak out, in short. For a moment, Hanso tried to imagine this ballroom the way it would be in real life, with Pokemon and a normal band. Then thoughts of Genevieve started coming, and he tried to cut the whole thing off in his mind.
"HA! Mausoleum, that's a good one! How fitting." One by one, Pokemon began to appear within the ballroom. They danced to the music, as if in celebration. The Pokemon were varied. There were some Machoke off to the side, not dancing at all. Pokemon bearing Gold Tribe medals, and even some Ancients, could be seen all around. Some of them were just ordinary citizens. Among them was a Lucario, possibly the King of Thieves. This was all fine and good, but all of them were missing their face. "Allow me to introduce, the victims of Sovereign "The Crusher," Sentinel of the Silver Tribe."
Okay, how had Sovereign managed to go for ten years with this freak in his head? Hanso only stepped aside when it seemed like one or another of the faceless Pokemon would bump into him if he didn't move. It was difficult to identify any of the Pokemon, even if some did have Gold Tribe medals.
Seeing the Lucario, Hanso frowned and began walking closer, still avoiding the other Pokemon. Was that Roswell? "So the Silver Tribe attacked the Thieves' Village?" he asked aloud. "I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not."
The Lucario turned towards Hanso for a moment, as if to look at him. Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed into his mind, he seemed to be falling, but he could see Sovereign standing above in a great tree.
The great hall was filled with people who all suffered similar fates. As they all turned to look at Hanso, each one's last memory was sent cascading uncontrollably into his mind. A flood of death and destruction, a collage of torment and hatred.
Hanso's hands flew up to clutch his head as the memories came. He didn't have time to think about the Lucario's last memory before the others came crashing in, leaving no room for thought.
Stop it...
It was both drawn out and a blur, each memory relived yet taking an instant in time.
Finally, one last memory came. More vivid than any of the others. The owner of the memory was looking over a scene with a group of Machoke, who looked very similar to the ones at the party, fighting with a Combusken of small stature and faded feather. A lowly Larvitar lay on the ground already, completely unconscious.
Can't do anything right, can they.
He thought to himself. He floated down to where the battle ready Combusken was, and whispered, "Sleep..." She staggered a bit before also collapsing to the ground. The Machoke proceeded to beat her while she was unconscious, soft sounds of pain could be heard coming from her mouth. The memory turned to examine the Larvitar.
Vera. Not quite the same species, but Hanso recognized her size and faded colors.
Just a memory.
Yet he tried to call out to the Combusken, warn her before whoever this was got to her.
"How foolish to defy me. Varren always gets what he wants." The Combusken let out a painful cry, carrying into the ears of the Larvitar which lay before Varren. It's eyes slowly opened, catching Varren off guard. "Wha..." the eyes Varren saw were a deep yellow. "Wh-What is this? Some kind of trick? You think changing your eye color will scare me!?" Varren struck him with a Shadow Punch, but somehow the Larvitar's body did not move.
He saw what was coming. He could feel it even before the memory's bearer looked up at the black sky.
They don't stand a chance. Didn't,
stand a chance.
Varren noticed that the sounds of the Machoke assaulting the Combusken had stopped. When he looked over, they were all staring into the sky. When Varen looked up, he could see it was black as night. What followed was a mixture of chaos and distorted memories, completely unintelligible. When the chaos ended, Varren was once again looking at the sky, but this time he was on the ground, helplessly waiting.
"I lost EVERYTHING because of an insignificant little worm!" The memory faded away revealing the hall once again, but now it was empty and decrepit.
His lungs filled with breath again, or seemed to, and Hanso's eyes opened as he looked up. Now he knew more of what this Varren was like. And he hated him. "Insignificant? You would think that, wouldn't you?" Hanso's voice was grim, barely hiding his anger. "Easy to think so, when your minions did your dirty work for you. I can already tell what kind of freak you are now, I've seen it before."
It was high time that he took over. His arm-blades unsheathed and began glowing a light blue; his eyes glowed as illusions of himself separated and spread out. Yet in the mind, these weren't mere illusions; they embodied the sensors that Hanso sent out to locate Varren, where the bully's mind was focused. Except 'bully' was nowhere near strong enough to describe this Pokemon.
"You're gonna die, here and now."
The room shook, asn the walls cracked as shadows began to pour in like water.
"What is this? This isn't supposed to happen!" The thick black liquid began to cover everything. Hanso's path, which led up the right hand stairway, was being consumed.
"I suggest you hurry, you and I aren't done, and I highly doubt you want to get swallowed up by Auron's shadow."
Okay, that was creepy in itself, how the room shook right after his words. As the shadows began pouring in, Hanso was already dashing for the stairs. It was the immediate, impulsive reaction to a room being flooded, at least in his case.
The Gallade made a final leap over a spurt of shadows and found the stairway with his feet, body threatening to pinwheel back into the black liquid. Hanso found his balance and hurried up the stairs. "Personally, I believe it isn't Auron's shadow at all." Was he crazy for discussing something like that on the run? "Don't ya know anythin' about his current state of affairs? Oh, wait, you didn't know how they'd all gotten that way in the first place!"
"Think you're so smart, do ya? Auron may not have been the original source of this darkness, but he's the one who currently possesses it." As the ceiling collapsed, the room began to flood faster, the wicked ooze rising further and further. At the top of the stairs, there was another door. It slowly creaked open as Hanso mase his way up the stairs.
"Now get in here, smart-ass!"
"You sure it doesn't possess
Am I sure it does?
"Whatever!" Hanso suddenly skidded to a halt just before the door. Could he be sure this wasn't an illusion of some sort to push him into a trap?
No, I can sense it. The exact same as what corrupted Deluge.
As he ran forward through the door, Hanso didn't look back to check on the shadows' progress. It would cost more time, and he'd already wasted some just then.
Once again, darkness surrounded Hanso. A tile floor could be seen underfoot, illuminated but a circle of light hitting the ground. More beams of light descended, Illuminating a path forward, progressively. At the end of the line, there was Varren, waiting for him. For once, he was not smiling. He looked quite discontent. In fact, it was a very unnerving appearance, since Varren almost always smiled.
"Our little game was cut short, how sad. You finally found me, but can you do what you need to? You can still walk back out that door, and you will return to the outside. You can go back out, and you can kill Sovereign. Or..."
"Or I can kill you," Hanso finished, his voice hard. He had stopped as darkness surrounded him again, then began walking forward slowly as he saw the Gengar. One of the Gallade's arm-blades began glowing a light-blue again, the other covered in the black shadow of a Night Slash.
Even as he approached Varren, Hanso could not help but think that the Gengar would put up a fight. He did not imagine why Varren would just let himself die.
"Yes," Varren said somberly. "You could kill me. But the effects are not the same as they are out there. To kill me is to remove something from Sovereign's mind. But in doing so, your interaction with me may leave you..." Varren smiled once again, but it was a sad smile, filled with regret and sorrow. "... scarred."
"You can't kill me, not really anyway. All you can do is take a part of Sovereign with you. I become a part of you, forever. Are you really capable of that, or will you become a killer in the name of stopping Auron... or do you yet have another agenda...?"
"This is your last chance, you can walk out that door and murder the one you promised to save, or you can slay me and forever be plagued by Sovereign's madness. Make your choice, 'hero'."
Varren's words stopped Hanso in his tracks, holding the Gengar's gaze as he considered. Varren wasn't concerned in the end, was he? If he were to believe him, then doing this would only change the freak's place of residence. Sovereign would not have to deal with Varren, but Hanso would. Thinking about it, Hanso wasn't even sure if he'd be dealing with just Varren, or with this whole madness Sovereign seemed to have.
In all reality, Hanso never had to take this on in the first place. It was only something he'd decided to do. Killing Sovereign would mean one less Sentinel in the way, wouldn't it? And one less monster in the world.
And yet... The Gallade moved forward again, hesitantly at first, then in long steps, until Varren was in striking range. "I've already said you would die." Hanso's voice was just as cold as it had been before, if not colder. "And, it would have been a waste to come all this way just to leave you here." He brought back his Psycho Cut and Night Slash in preparation. "Besides, as you pointed out, I made a promise."
"You came well armed, but this is my domain..." The door slammed shut, as all the lights similtaneously went black. "Kekekekekeke... I am the shadows themseves here, how can you stop what you can't find...?"
So Varren wouldn't go quietly after all. As all light left the area, Hanso reached out with his mental sensors again. The Gengar's presence wasn't focused in front of the Gallade anymore, he was-- Hanso spun and drove his Night Slash home, feeling it slide into Varren. "They call me TrueStriker for a reason."
Varren smiled, but for the first time he actually looked happy. "This place is hell. Maybe your mind will be less painful..." The gash across Varren's body drew no blood. Instead it exploded with a black cloud which ingulfed Hanso, invading his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears!
The Gallade felt as if he was choking, unable to discern anything beyond the dark cloud. As it passed into him, he could almost feel the burden of another mind. The cloud soon passed, leaving Hanso gasping slightly as he looked down at first. After a few moments, his breathing calmed as he looked up.
When the cloud finally cleared, everything was clearer. Despite the fact that everything was dark as night, everything was visible. It was a bedroom. One of exquisite taste. On one of the walls, a painting could be seen. Varren was in it, with several other ghost Pokemon, including a Mismagius, a couple Gastly and a Misdreavus. Varren looked happy in the picture, but not in the twisted way he usually did. On the table in front of the painting there were papers, regarding the murder of a Mismagius who's description matched the one in the picture, and the dissappearance of the three children. Under the papers was a torn open note adressed to a "Darren Vistral."
Your kids are safe. Do exactly what I tell you to, and no one else has to die
After picking up the note and reading it, Hanso dropped it back on the table.
What...wait, Varren wasn't so bad before?
It wasn't clear at first, but...hey, now they were stuck with each other, probably until the day Hanso died. If he lived beyond the war with the Silver Tribe, then he and Varren would have time to talk. Or fight. Whichever the Gengar decided to do.
Man, this'll take a while to get used to.
The black ooze from before began to leak through the door. Despite his new eyes, this darkness was still impossible to see through.
There's an escape hatch behind the painting. Get us out of here before we wind up slaves ourselves!
Before Hanso could answer Varren, his mind-- or was it their mind now?-- echoed with a familiar voice.
Glancing at the black ooze, he agreed with the voice.
"Ya think? Time to leave five minutes ago. Wait, isn't Vera with you, Brynn?"
The Gallade hurried over to the painting, lifting it by its sides and lightly tossing it to one side.
As he left through the escape hatch, Hanso asked Varren, This means you know and hear everything I do, doesn't it?
Great...you're gonna have to tell me if I'd brought anything else with me as part of the package.

on March 3, 2014 - 12:01 AM
LOS ANGELES – They've tried edgy and tinkered with experimental. But the producers of the 86th Academy Awards telecast believe that what America really wants is tradition.
This year's Oscar show Sunday brought back 2007 host Ellen DeGeneres, a likable, benign daytime television presence. Backstage, Broadway-oriented veterans Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are back producing for a second consecutive year.
Not present? Seth MacFarlane, the "Family Guy" creator who polarized audiences last year, even though he did manage a ratings jump. Ditto for the podium kibitzing of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who have brought an air of controlled raucousness to the last two Golden Globes ceremonies.
"It's the kinder, gentler Oscars," said Dave Boone, an Emmy-winning writer who has worked on more than a half-dozen Oscar telecasts. "It would be a surprise and a mistake if Ellen did what Seth did or what Tina and Amy did. That's not what this year's Oscars are about."
By offering a kind of television comfort food, the Oscars are hoping to consolidate their base, particularly women. Those viewers are more drawn to Ellen – they make up the core of her 25 million-strong Twitter following – and less disposed to the tomfoolery that MacFarlane brought to last year's show, when bits like "We Saw Your Boobs" struck some as crude. The Oscars audience is typically more than 60 percent female.
But in its return to tradition, the telecast could be missing an opportunity to draw younger audiences. Last year, MacFarlane reversed a median viewer age that had risen steadily from 42 in 1993 to nearly 53 in 2012. His presence pushed the age down to 51.4, but DeGeneres could well pull it back up. If the median tops 2012's 52.8, it would be the oldest Academy Awards audience since they began keeping records.
The stakes are high for the Oscars and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that stages them. Outside of postseason football games, the telecast is the most-viewed program of the year, with advertisers this time around paying an average of $1.8 million for a 30-second spot, up 9 percent from last year.
Experts say that the academy is willing to roll the dice on DeGeneres because the talk-show host presents a safe, reassuring image within Hollywood – vital to attracting A-list presenters. Her ability to move between singing, dancing and joking provides a potent combination for audiences.
"Ellen can do the variety show in a way few people today can," said Tom Nunan, the veteran film producer and TV executive who teaches at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. "Producers might be on to something with someone like that – an incredibly durable presence who can fill those shoes for years to come, versus a name du jour who's learning on the job."
Or as academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs told the Los Angeles Times last week, "We love the idea of continuity."
The Oscars have long had a traditional undercurrent, exemplified by recurring host Billy Crystal, who last presided in 2012. But the decision to follow that mind-set so closely is a notable switch not just from MacFarlane last year but the 2011 Oscars, which saw James Franco's and Anne Hathaway's mixed hosting turn, and the 2009 ceremony, which shook up how awards were presented and given out.
Adding to the classic feel of this year's show, was a scheduled reunion of Judy Garland's three children to mark the 75th anniversary of that most iconic of Hollywood creations, "The Wizard of Oz."
Still, for all the appeal of familiarity, pop culture's interest in the next shiny face can be inhospitable to repeat hosts. Jon Stewart drew the smallest number of viewers in several decades during his sophomore stint in 2008, and Whoopi Goldberg's fourth and final turn, in 2002, hit a then-13-year low.
Conversely, rookie MacFarlane landed the second-highest rating in eight years, with 40.4 million total viewers, up 12 percent from the previous year. And one of the most popular shows in history was hosted by a panned first-timer – David Letterman, who in 1995 drew nearly 49 million viewers. Outside of 1998's record-setting year of "Titanic," it stands as the most watched Oscars since the early 1980s, as Letterman's gaffes became water-cooler moments.
Social media can enhance that must-see effect for contemporary awards shows, as the Golden Globes has found with Fey and Poehler bits, whose popularity on Twitter and YouTube drove a 10-year high in total viewers in January.
The "Titanic," audience, meanwhile, shows how a popular movie can juice the ratings. When the best picture nominees are also commercial successes, more people tend to watch the telecast.

Cedarburg fries bigger fish in sectional
Glendale - Three months ago, many of Cedarburg's boys swimmers were bummed to learn they had jumped from Division 2 to Division 1.
"We all thought we could win D2," Cedarburg sophomore Sam Douglass said. "But you can't say you're the best until you face all the best."
In what's becoming a magical season, the Bulldogs are on their way to doing just that.
Cedarburg, making its first appearance in Division 1 since the WIAA split swimming into two divisions in 1993, gave a memorable performance at Saturday's Nicolet Sectional. The Bulldogs won just one event but had nine top-three finishes and edged runner-up Arrowhead, 351 points to 325.5, for the sectional title.
It marked the first time since 2001 that Arrowhead didn't win a sectional championship.
"This meet was a little bit out of our comfort zone," Cedarburg coach Amit Kaul said. "But I thought we did extremely well."
On the bus ride to the meet, Kaul talked about how the Bulldogs would be the smallest school there. He spoke of David vs. Goliath.
Then his team made a giant splash.
"We have 1,200 kids at our school," Cedarburg sophomore Nick Plachinski said. "Some of the others are almost twice our size. So this was a lot of fun."
Nothing was more fun for the Bulldogs than the final race of the day, the 400-yard freestyle relay. Cedarburg led Arrowhead by 15.5 points, then pulled away when the quartet of Plachinski, Logan Coert, Tony Douglass and Sam Douglass set a school record (3 minutes 14.53 seconds) and won the event.
Although that was the Bulldogs' only win of the day, Cedarburg also had five second-place finishes and three thirds.
Cedarburg's quartet of Sam Douglass, Max Kahn, Plachinski and Coert were second in the 200 medley relay. Tony Douglass was second in the 200 free (1:47.84) and Plachinski was runner-up in the 100 butterfly (52.76). Coert was second in the 100 free (48.48) and Sam Douglass was second in the 500 free (4:50.68).
Arrowhead had a handful of first-place finishes and showed it could be dangerous at next weekend's state meet.
The quartet of Logan Kozlik, Allen Roller, Duke Bednarke and Jake Barry won the 200 medley in 1:37.78. Kozlik won the 100 free (47.91), while Arrowhead's 200 free relay team of Barry, Kozlik, Logan Roberts and Corbin Grimes was also first (1:28.32).
Homestead's Nicholas Petersen won the 200 IM (1:56.05) and 100 backstroke (51.32). Nicolet's Michael Mills won both the 200 free (1:47.03) and 500 free (4:48.31).
Brookfield East/Central got firsts from Mitch Douglas in the 50 free (21.69) and Brian Borden in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.74). West Bend East/West senior Matt McHugh won the 100 butterfly (50.24).
But the story of the day was Cedarburg, which made an unforgettable debut in Division 1.
"We're used to doing well in Division 2," Kaul said. "So this is a great experience for next week (at state)."
Team scores - 1, Cedarburg 351; 2, Arrowhead 325.5; 3, Brookfield East/Central 309.5; 4, Nicolet 227; 5, West Bend East/West 220; 6, Menomonee Falls/Germantown/Sussex Hamilton 209; 7, Homestead 203; 8, Wauwatosa 199; 9, Hartford 85; 10, Watertown 64; 11, Milw. Madison 24.

Hi there
I have an issue that I hope someone can help me with.
When products on my site are added to the cart and exceed the weight of the heaviest shipping rate that I have set in the AWD shipping settings, I want that shipping option to be removed or ghosted out or something (basically unavailable).
Instead, at the moment, the option is still available in the checkout and the price is the highest price I have set, no matter what the actual weight of the items in the cart.
eg: my max shipping in AWD is set to 1500g and the cost at this weight to ship to Australia (for example) is $23.
If someone has a total cart weight of 3000g, the cost to ship to Australia will still be $23. This is obviously a problem.
Ideally, if the weight exceeds what I have set, Id like the shipping option to be ghosted out with a customizable message (eg: I would write: "Max shipping weight for Air mail is 1500g").
Any help?
Thanks a lot (great plugin)
