text:
The Weirwood. Even the name is spoken with mystic reverence. The ancient hunting grounds of the werewolves. The dark trees hid dozens of the creatures, and anyone who stayed through the night was never seen again. So it was for hundreds of years, until Sir Keinly The Bold destroyed them. Sir Keinly stepped into the forest one day and returned months later, with a wagon full of dozens of wolf corpses. The Werewolves, he claimed, were extinct.
And so did the people of Pinare believe, for the last ten years, and the village of Laniel was founded deep in the Weirwood, to take advantage of the trade routes between Pinare and neighboring Westingland. Populated almost solely by immigrants from other villages, the village was peaceful and calm, particularly under the watchful eye of the now retired Lord Mayor Sir Keinly. Until yesterday. Yesterday Sir Keinly was found dead inside his house, a bullet from his flintlock having taken painted his wall with his brains and a small note pinned to his shirt.
I am sorry. In my hunt for the werewolves, I was infected. I have locked myself within my basement every night since, fearing the change would hurt others, but unable to turn myself in. Last night, the lock on my basement failed, and I roamed the village free. I cannot live with the shame of what I have done. I awoke with another's blood in my mouth. I have infected another, and you must find and kill him. Please, remedy my mistake, before the village dies.
In Dishonor, Sir Keinly
Now the village is in uproar. Every person living there is pointing to another, and it is clear that someone will hang before the day is out. If that someone is not one of the infected, it is likely that another will die before the morning.
Rules: You are a villager within the small village of Laniel, deep within the Weirwood. Odds are you have moved here within the last ten years to take advantage of the wealth of the newly established trade route through the woods. Those who had something to lose, or who are too afraid, have left the village, fleeing into the day with the news that the werewolves may be active again.
If you have not fled, odds are you are a Villager, in which case your goals are to eliminate these wolves, keep yourself safe and die rich and happy as a survivor of this panic.
Villagers have the following special roles:
The Scryer: You have learned the ways of a scryer, watching others to keep yourself safe or advantageous. You are able to, once per day, watch over another's secrets in your scrying surface (any reflective surface). But the scryer's arts are not perfect, and you're never sure that what you've seen is true.
Every Cycle, the Scryer may Scry one villager, determining his role with 75% accuracy. Scryers may Scry the same target over multiple nights.
Should the game have more than 10 players but less than 20 players, there will be 2 scryers. Should the game have more than 20 players, there will be 3 scryers.
The Baner: You always knew Sir Keinly was wrong. There was no one who could have caught every werewolf, especially when they can look like anyone in the day. Therefore you were ready. You keep a silver bullet on you all times, and a silver dagger, and remember the old ways to keep them away. Wolfsbane, Belladonna... Garlic? You remember every possible weakness. You've kept this obsession hidden from your neighbors and you are glad of it now. Now is your moment to be a hero.
The Baner may protect one villager from the werewolves every Cycle. That villager will not be killed and the werewolves will gain no kill for the night. Only the Baner and the Wolves will know this happened. The Baner may also Scry a player, though their methods are inefficient and they require 2 cycles to gain a 75% accuracy check.
If there are more than 15 players, there will be 2 baners.
The Masons: You were always surprised this village managed to get large enough to require 2 of your order to watch over it. The Masons know one another's identities, and each checked the others for werewolf infection the moment they heard of Sir Keinly's treachery. Each of you knows the other is not infected. The Masons know each others identities and that each of them is not a werewolf.
There will be no Masons if the game has less than 10 people. If the game has more than 10 people there will be 2 Masons. If the game has 15 or more there will be 3 Masons. If the game has 20 or more there will be 4 Masons.
Of course if you are infected your role is that of a Werewolf and your goal is to kill off these meddling people and regain your people's ancestral hunting grounds. Each werewolf does not know the identity of the others. The werewolves may vote every cycle to kill a certain other player. Should the werewolves vote to kill each other they instead learn the fact that the other is a werewolf. Werewolves together are more dangerous than werewolves alone. There is 1 Werewolf per 5 players.
The werewolves have the following special roles:
If there are more than 3 Werewolves: The Alpha: As the strongest Werewolf, you get your kill first. This means that if the Werewolves tie on their kill votes you are the tiebreaker.
The Stalker: You always were sneaky, even before being infected. Now you know how to watch someone, and ensure that no one can protect them or watch them.
Every night, the Stalker can pick a certain player to Stalk. If someone attempts to Scry or Protect the trapped player, they are killed. This supersedes the standard werewolf kill of the cycle, so if the Werewolves vote to kill Player A and then Stalk-kill Player B, Player A survives the night and Player B is eliminated instead.
However, if the player that should be killed by the Stalker is currently being Protected, the trap fails. For example: Player A, the Baner, protects Player B, the Scryer. Player B attempts to Scry Player C, who has been Stalked. The Stalk fails, Player B is given their investigation results normally, and whoever the Werewolves voted to kill is eliminated as per usual.
There is no Stalker unless there are 3 or more Werewolves.
As I hope I got across here this will be a simple game of paranoia and maneuvering, using these boards and the PM feature. No player shall begin knowing another's role (except the Masons). Cycles will start and end on Mondays and Fridays (Cycle 1 from Monday to Friday and Cycle 2 From Friday to Monday) and those who do not make a vote in this time will count as Null votes. During the Cycle you may change your vote as often as you like, generally reacting to impassioned arguments or lies. If the Scryer or Baner do not send a PM making their choices they will not be active that night. Same for the other special roles. Each of you should make a character to urge roleplaying. There is no official character system.
Additionally: when I write up the Cycle reports, your characters will be represented within–especially if they die.
When creating your character, consider including the following details.
Place of Origin
One or two lines about appearance.
Role in the Village
Why would they choose not to leave the village?*
*Obviously, if you are assigned certain roles, this will turn out to be a fabrication.
Recruitment opens now and closes in one week assuming we get enough people (roughly 15), otherwise will remain open two weeks.
|Professor Alessandra Devries
Professor Alessandra Devries, from a little village to the West of Westingland.
A stern and uncompromising woman with fiery hair just turning to grey, Professor Devries would stare down a whole pack of werewolves and make them wipe their feet before they came into her library. She is a matronly sort who favors homespun woolens and generally doesn't show as much cleavage as the avatar picture would have you think.
Profession: Librarian and schoolmarm
She refuses to abandon the town's small library, which has taken her a lifetime to build. Books and teaching are her passion, and she'd rather die than see a page of The Dialogues of Plato fall to mildew and dry rot.
|Wowbagger tIP
|Simon Shrewsbury
Simon Shrewsbury, a middle aged herbalist and poultice maker who arrived seven years ago from a small town a week's ride south of Laniel.
A plain faced man of smaller stature, Simon has a bristly goatee and wears his dirty brown hair pulled into a small ponytail. His clothes are frayed and faded, but the thread and stitching of the garments are those of a wealthy man creating an odd contrast in his appearance.
Taking advantage of the trade routes through Weirwood, Simon has made a fine living for himself on the sale of herbal potions and remedies for the ailing traveler. His cluttered workshop and greenhouse adjoins his small, comfortable home on the edge of the village.
Stubborn to a fault, Simon refuses to flee the danger. Laniel is his home and he'll not abandon it or his neighbors to the savagery of werewolves.
Name: Dan Haskins
Place of Origin: Newcastle
One or two lines about appearance: A slightly portly man, who tries his own goods - 'To judge the quality,' he says. Although he does tend to short-change customers on the size of their buns.
Role in the Village: Baker
Why would they choose not to leave the village? Stubbornness he knows that there is a profit to be made from this adventure. He also enjoys the taverns cider, rather too much some would say.
I'll add a bit more to it later.
|Whitey McWhite
Name: Whitey McWhite
Place of Origin: Northington (The village located to the north-east of Westingland)
One or two lines about appearance: With his clear lac of pigment its fairly obvious that Whitey is an albino. Riddled with a host of allergies (especially Peanuts) he needs to be very cautious about what or whom he comes into contact with to prevent allergic reactions. Whitey is always taking preventative measures to prevent future reactions. Surprisingly though, fermented yeast causes no allergic reaction to Whitey so he drinks beer like a fish.
Role in the Village: Brewmaster & Tavern Owner - Whitey is the owner and founder of the combination Brewery/Pub tasked with supplying the town its favorite alcoholic beverages. The upper floor of the building also serves as Whitey's house.
Why would they choose not to leave the village? In order to leave Laniel, Whitey would have to travel through The Weirwood. Getting here was hard enough after an allergic attack caused by a squirrel hiding a peanut in his sleeping bag almost killed him. That combined with the pollen floating in the air and various animal hairs laying about, he wont risk death by leaving the village when he's confident Laniel's inhabitants will sort this fiasco out eventually.
|Duke Leto Atredies
|Whitey McWhite
|Simon Shrewsbury
|Dan Haworth
|Eldon Gorski
First time trying something like this out, I'll give it a shot.
Name: Eldon Gorski
Place of Origin: Winshaven, far to the south.
One or two lines about appearance: Eldon is a large man, and quite imposing. He always appears angry when he's seen.
Role in the Village: Gravedigger and tender of the graveyard. He lives in a small hut near the graveyard. While he himself is quite scary and imposing, he manages to keep the graveyard in good shape and repair. He has shown up at peoples houses in the middle of the night, their kid in tow, having caught them inside the graveyard. The few times he is seen in town is either picking up supplies for the graveyard, or the occasional trip to the tavern.
Why would they choose not to leave the village?: Before moving to Laniel, it is rumored about town that he once had a family, a wife and two daughters. What happened to them is unknown, if they even existed, though rumors vary wildly.
|Paizo Fan
|Whitey McWhite
Keep in mind Nostrus that this is not a Pathfinder adventure. Beyond the required information (Name, Location, Role, Reasoning) its not necessary to make an elaborate character. However, you could if you want to. Town Preacher might fit the bill a little better.
First time trying something like this out, I'll give it a shot.
Here is a link to our first game in case anybody needs a better idea of how to play. This game is a lot of fun.
|Vorian Ritter
That assassin game looks like it was pretty fun, got a good laugh out of some of the dialogue. I suppose I can throw my hat in...
Name: Vorian Ritter
Place of Origin: Pinare
One or two lines about appearance: A handsome but worn man rapidly reaching the end of his youth. Always appears to be well-dressed, wearing clothing and jewelery likely costing far more than he could have possibly afforded.
Role in the Village: Trader of fine wares. A disappointing business venture in Pinare left Vorian with a wagon overfull of unsold goods, mostly consisting of fine furs and jewelery. Opting to try his luck as a traveling salesman, he arrives at the village just days before Sir Keinly's tragic suicide. More than a little desperate to make a profit, he has set up shop.
Why would they choose not to leave the village? Cocky and stubborn to a fault, he is determined to sell off at least some of his stock. At the very least until he can hire someone to fixed that damned wagon wheel...
I believe that's everything...
This sounds like fun and the assassin's game really got me interested. Probably a stupid noob question. Where exactly is this set? Is this Pathfinder, Real World, Faerun, etc? I see people posting places of origin and I'm not recognizing them. Once I get a handle on that, I'll pop the character up here.
Not stupid at all, it was never really stated. For me it has a very Baron Munchausen feel. It can be anywhere, anywhen, sort of. At least that's how I felt, I am not speaking for Ryuko.
Essentially this. Feel free to come up with whatever details you like for the setting.
Also: Ten Players! We've now officially got more than last time!
|Eben TheQuiet
Recruitment opens now and closes in one week assuming we get enough people (roughly 15), otherwise will remain open two weeks.
As regards time commitment. In the last game as there was no direct plot-line and objectives - it was all free-form rp_ing. Some people posted only 1 per cycle (3-4 days), obviously it is better to post on a daily basis and if there is a tight vote then it can be advantageous to be around to vote or change your vote. However, it doesn't require too much of a commitment particularly if you have only the basic role.
I'll setup the profile with the avatar soon. Work comp has problems with the images.
Name: Bruce Stilgrasen
Place of Origin: New Boston
One or two lines about appearance: Bruce is a well built young man, tall and athletic. He carries himself with a confidence bordering on arrogance when he's out dealing with the townsfolk but there are those that say he's a broken man behind closed doors.
Role in the Village: Lumber Mill Owner/Proprietor. Sent out at the behest of his father, Lord Stilgrasen of the Evermarch, Bruce was tasked with expanding the family's already considerable holdings. The Weirwood was an untapped resource and held some of the rarest lumber in the world but due to the ... infestation ... was inaccessible until recently. Upon the founding of Laniel, Bruce was packed up and shipped off almost the next day.
Why would they choose not to leave the village?: Bruce knows that to return home a failure before his father would be a fate worse than infection. No, his best chance is to stick it out and help the other villagers sort this quickly so that production can recommence.
|Whitey McWhite
|Orphan Arielle
List of questions:
- Is there a character age limit?
- Would village children be viable PCs?
- Does this need to be a fresh avatar, or could I use this one for example which has current PbP PFRPG info in the description?
- How do we know about the current vote status?
- How often would that be updated as people hop on and off the fence before a cycle ends?
My PbP team are mad rpers and could be seriously into this, so I may be able to bring 3 or 4 more players.
Any word from Adrian, The Doctor or The Red Robert from our last game? Im surprised they haven't signed up yet...
I haven't heard from them but we could pm them AA3 was the last to post in the old IC thread.
List of questions:

My PbP team are mad rpers and could be seriously into this, so I may be able to bring 3 or 4 more players.
Again I not to speak on behalf of Ryuko, therefore IMO:
- I don't think so, and provided you don't mind a youngster being killed/lynched by other PC's. Personally I am fine with it.
- I don't think there needs to be a fresh Avatar, Prof Devries is re-using hers. I probably would put a spoiler background for this game in there though.
- Current votes are generally shown when a PC or Ryuko decides to create a list.
- The votes start from the beginning at the start of each new phase, so just because you voted for someone last cycle (& they weren't killed) doesn't mean you are still voting for them. You have to re-vote each cycle. It got very tense in the last cycle of the last game, at least for me.
Hopefully lynched is not too much of an emotive word.
Questions answered, in order of appearance:
Eben: I'll be done on Easter Sunday, assuming we get enough (which looks likely) And you are required to post at least once per cycle, twice per week, though you're free to post as much as you like, and one PM to me every cycle if you have a special role.
Whitey: I'm not sure, The Doctor usually got on later in the week so we'll see on that one, as for Red Robert and Adrian, no clue.
Arielle: I haven't thought about children characters. I suppose I'd be fine with it as long as everyone understood that I would likely gloss over children's deaths a bit more than anyone else's (no one wants to hear about a child being mutilated). I'd say you probably would have no respect (and thus unlikely to have a vote in the cycle's lynchings) if you were under about... 13? Maybe 14? You'd be free to use that avatar if you'd like, I don't mind, though I'd like a description or link to your descriptive post here in your profile for this game. I post up the vote status once every day or two, some players post their own tallies, so feel free to do that if you'd like. I always have at least one update an hour or two before the cycle ends, just to give everyone a chance to change their votes up at the last minute.
New Players Still Welcome!
|Taraz the Wastrel
Name: Taraz Rorenson
Place of Origin: Born in southern Pinare and brought to Laniel during its founding by his parents when he was twelve. Most likely to die there whether by fate or at the hands of men and werewolves remains to be seen...
Appearance: Somewhat disheveled with a dirty face, Taraz appears like a glassy eyed country bumpkin. It's been remarked he isn't too terrible to look at when he cleans up, but that rarely happens except around festival times. Hair appears uncombed and brown. It may have been a dirty blond once upon a time, but as he got older, it has just become dirty. Medium height and not very athletic, Taraz is more wiry and scrawny than anything.
Role in the Village: Son of Roren, a village cobbler, Taraz has knowledge of the occupation. However he frequently shirks his duties to drink and chase some of the less moral women in the village or those passing through. A frequent but inept gambler, Taraz is seen as kind of a mainstay for any standing backroom games and raucous parties. He ends up paying off his debts and tabs by making shoes which almost seems to be the only way to get Taraz to actually work his craft. The few people to sport his shoes or boots have remarked that Taraz's skill exceeds his dad Roren's.
Why Taraz stayed: Terrified of what's happening, Taraz's first instinct was to run with the others. However, Taraz had found himself putting it off. He had halfheartedly helped others to pack in exchange for a few coins to keep the drink flowing since that was the only way he could keep his sanity (he feels). In the village now mostly because a life of laziness and bad habits is hard to change and until something really bad occurs to snap him out of his torpor, Taraz remains.
This is pinvendor who posted as Orphan Arielle earlier.
|Whitey McWhite
Any word from Adrian, The Doctor or The Red Robert from our last game? I'm surprised they haven't signed up yet...
I haven't heard from them but we could pm them AA3 was the last to post in the old IC thread.
Whitey: I'm not sure, The Doctor usually got on later in the week so we'll see on that one, as for Red Robert and Adrian, no clue.
I sent the 3 of them a PM. Hopefully they all show up before recruitment is over.
|Thoen Smith
AAXII signing in.
Name: Thoen
Appearance Working in the forge since he was a young lad, Thoen is thickly built. At six and a half feet tall he is clean shaven with lightly colored hair but is otherwise nondescript.
Occupation Thoen is the town's blacksmith, making tools for the lumbermen and the other villagers when they need them.
Reason for Staying Thoen is fiercely loyal to this little town that he has helped build up from the beginning. He would rather die fighting for the people he cares about than run like a coward.
|Kravo Blaschkh
Place of Origin: Born and raised in Laniel. The preacher's daughter.
Appearance: Young and buxom. A little too young and a little too buxom in fact. A delicate face, some flesh on the bones - all in the right places. She wears appropriate clothing for a young lass from a good family. She has impeccable manners. All this means is that she has all the apperance of an innocent and sweet maiden, or a sultry vixen (depending on the attitude of the beholder).
Role in the Village: The village belle. Many a nose was bloodied to defend her honour or win her affection. Many a strapping lad puffed his chest in vain. Many a man behaves like a silly boy in her presence.
Why Lorelei stayed: Oh she so badly wants to leave this miserable little hamlet, but her Daddy will not let her. Besides, she has no money and - land sakes - she'll get a rash or catch a cold - there are mosquitoes in the woods....etc. etc..
Responding to Whitey's invite. Thanks! This looks like a blast. Am I to choose one of those roles now, or will that be sorted out later?
|Taraz the Wastrel
Is it expected that we will be PMing each other in character to simulate Survivor style one-on-one conferences to discuss who might or might not be infected? Or is it assumed all discussion happens in public?
I was even thinking that if PMing a specific character, it would be required to make a thread post that said something like:
Taraz and Whitey both step around the corner of the apothecary shop and can be heard whispering for ten minutes or so. When they return they seem to be trying hard not to look at the Professor.
Maybe not that obvious, but that should be a clear enough example.
|Dan Haworth
Roles are assigned at random, by Ryuko.
PMing occured in he last game, it didn't have to be in character. Depending on how people feel. It is NOT required to be pointed out in thread, since you said it could be obvious. Especially like in the last game where it became obvious the 2 werewolves/killer had met up, a statement IC would be too suspicious.
IC justification is that it is a large village and not all conversations will be observed. However some posts and pm's like that would be interesting.
Again all IMO.
Roles are indeed assigned at random, this is a game of playing the players as much as the characters. PMing will happen often between myself and those with roles, and can happen between players. I'd prefer it be in character but it likely won't be and since no one sees it, don't worry too much about it. You will not require any sort of post in the thread to make a PM, however, no matter how personal or private you believe a conversation to be (or how many spoilers you hide it behind) anything in the thread is considered common knowledge. Laniel has a surprisingly good grapevine.
|Taraz the Wastrel
|Dan Haworth
|Duke Leto Atredies
|Dr. Lugwaude Lächelnschiefe
Waltz reporting in possibly at the last moment. I've been a bit scatterbrained lately, but I'll be recycling the good doctor if you'll have me.
Name: Dr. Lugwaude Lächelnschiefe
Place of Origin: Leipzig to the far east.
Appearance: A pale effeminate doctor with dirty unkempt blond hair. A single sunken blue eye that darts wildly about and a old tan eye-patch covering his right eye which he lost in an unfortunate explosion of acidic chemicals. He wears a cloth dirty white coat and a crooked brown bow tie and smells strongly of noxious chemicals.
Role in the Village: The good doctor has taken to hiding out in the village after being chased out of university and branded a dangerous criminal in a far off land due to a few experiments gone awry. He spends most his time keeping himself busy with science as an aloof recluse. More recently he did produce a strange gas that doubled crop output and killed many pests during a dire drought for the village while having the unfortunate side effect of tainting the food with a bitter sour egg after taste and strangely giving those with red hair stomach problems. The villagers call upon him as a last resort healer and treat him as a strange mystic.
Why would they choose not to leave the village?: Having been branded a dangerous criminal and with several outstanding bounties and lawsuits leveled against him he is very reluctant to leave the village. The nature of his most recent experiment on mushrooms is nearly complete, but still in the delicate testing phase and can't be moved without scrapping his research and starting the nearly two year long process over again with ample risk of failure. He madly believes his latest experiment will yield a breakthrough to return him prestige and solve his current troubles.
|Whitey McWhite
|The Red Robert
Name: Tristen Bell
Role in Village: Tristen is a young Barrister from two villages over. When the old Barrister, Belmy Clearwater passed away, Tristen, his nephew, took over his practice.
Apperance: Tristen is a small, slight young man, more pretty than handsome. His eyes are large and open, innocent, the color of the clearest skies. His wears his golden hair long, tied back in a wrist thick ponytail, that hangs down to his waist.
Backstory: Tristen is a slight young man, wide eyed, innocent and kind. He spends most of his days in the comfort of his late Uncles Practice, dealing with the villagers disputes.
Tristen likes nothing more that curling up with a good book, well, apart from stamps that is.
When his Uncle passed away, Tristen moved in to the Village. He has spent very little time with any of the villagers and is seen as some what of an outcast.
Reason for staying: Tristen refuses to give up his Uncles practice. More importantly, he refuses to give up his extensive Stamp Collection, a collection so large it would take two strong horses and a wagon to move.
I am in! :D

CVC Credit Partners mourns death of MD
Andrew Littell, a managing director at CVC Credit Partners, has died following a short illness, the firm announced today.
Littell joined CVC Credit Partners last April and was responsible for European loan and bond trading.
CVC Credit Partners was set up in January this year, as private equity firm CVC Capital Partners combined CVC Cordatus, its independent sub-investment-grade unit, with collateralised loan obligation manager Resource America.
Littell joined CVC Credit Partners from Resource Europe Management, a division of Resource America, where he was co-founder.
Marc Broughton, chief executive of CVC Credit Partners, said in a statement today: "This is a tragic loss to his family and to CVC. Andrew will be remembered by his colleagues and by many in London's financial circles as a polished professional and excelled at everything he undertook. He had boundless energy and an infectious laugh.
"In the seven months since joining us, he added a tremendous amount representing CVC partners at the highest levels. He truly embraced ex-pat and London life. His work ethic, his gift for friendship set a wonderful example in our office.
Littell had previously served as head of corporate finance for newspaper publisher Financial Times Group, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. He co-founded and served as director for business development of Financial Times MarketWatch.com, a joint venture with US broadcaster CBS.
Littell is survived by a wife and two daughters. Memorial services will be held later in London and Massachusetts, CVC said in a statement.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
obito crying, rin smiling before death. gets angry goes 2 mazou and thanks madara dat's it
lol retard? Dude just stfu if you don't have any reasons alright? I am saying thats what happened in the anime. Which was right after the war. But in the manga they are showing Rin's chest penetrated by kakashi's chidori which did not happen in the anime. If you wanna say something to insult me keep it to yourself you are just wasting your time. But if you have a point against it i don't mind reading it. Got that bro?

I'm just saying thats not what happened in the anime. In the anime after the war Rin was alive. But here during the war Rin is dead. Dude if you don't understand what i'm saying just ignore. No need to waste your time.

Kakashi is not under genjutsu nor is it a zetsu clone. When itachi was reanimated sauske began to see things itachi was seeing therefore sharingans are linked to the original user. Obito saw what kakashi was seeing through HIS sharingan. there is no way he is a clone since there sharingans are linked. If anything it is plausable that it was a zetsu rin or an accident
possiblity kakashi was put in a predicament where he had to kill rin and rin might have been happy to die for the village
i think that it wasn't kakashi who killed rin, and it was a zetsu thing transformed in kakashi,and kakashi zetsu ambushed rin...
the other prediction is that kakashi was on a genjutsu...
it's hard to predict)
...Whoa. Obito said Kakashi "let" Rin die. I never would've expected he actually killed her firsthand.
Another thing I just thought about, disregarding the flame-patterned mask he wore before the current timeline and his reasons for making it, this implies that Obito's spiral mask was a living Zetsu clone. So, did that clone die when part of it was destroyed by Konan, ...or did Obito make a mask that looked like it later on?
Regardless, great chapter, I can't wait til next Wednesday
maybe rin was under a genjutsu that caused her serious pain and kakashi wanted to end her suffering. or the mist ninja couldve been after information and kakashi had to prevent that. i dont think he could be under a genjustsu cuz he has the sharingan now. only someone with strong genjustsu(someone with another sharingan) could do that to kakash (correct me if im wrong).
here's what i think. zetsu said they were guinea pigs. the only thing i can think of that could apply is Ao is testing out his brand spanking new transplanted byakugan. and maybe kakashi thought he was fighting water clones. like that mizukage water mirror clone thing used on B and naruto, but like from a distance.
Sorry but I cant accept Rin as a traitor and Kakashi consciously killing her. Either one of them must have been controlled. If Rin was a traitor then why does Kakashi mourn her death? He saw Obito and Rin when he was on the verge of death after Pain killed him. Why would kakashi mourn her if she was a spy and not a legit comrade?
This might be true because kakashi already has the sharingan so he shuld be able to see 2ru the genjutsu but the probability of kakashi being a white zetsu is higher than rin.
Ignoring the hentai above, hello all. This is my first post, but I've been a Naruto fan since 2005, and have been checking out this forum for a few weeks. Anyways, I think this is a crazy chapter, maybe even more so than the Tobito reveal. I think there's something more to this, which seems to be the general consensus.
I don't think that it's a genjutsu, it would be crazy if such an old Madara can have an effect on a battle so far away.
Zetsu seems improbable too, since Kakashi's clearly crying.
The traitor theory would work if it weren't for Obito's death, since Kakashi trying to keep his promise, would at the very least capture her, not kill.
Mangekyo activation wouldn't work either since Kakashi isn't a heartless bastard.
The last theory I've heard that doesn't make sense is that they were surrounded and Kakashi killed her to save Konoha secrets. Kakashi would give his life before doing that, because of his promise to Obito.
The only one that kind of makes sense is the accidental fog kill, where he couldn't see and accidentally killed her, but that still doesn't seem right. Rin, being a medic-nin, wouldn't be near the line-of-fire, I'd think. Kakashi would also be much more careful, since he's already experienced a teammate's death, and that would cause anyone to think twice before any move.

Now, the sharingan being linked to Kakashi's is probably the most ideal conclusion. I mean to say, how could zetsu show Obito any vision on the left side of his head without there being an eye? It's just not possible right?
Well, in the narutoverse there could be a chakara link from the back of the mask to the brain, or even genjitsu or some shit, so let's put that to the side for now...
Say it was Kakashi
-why'd he do it? Was he under the influence of genjitsu? Did we purposely go back on his word to Obito because he's an antagonist? Rin being a traitor? etc etc etc etc etc........... until I die
Say it wasn't Kakashi
Probably a Zetsu clone.
As to which one of these is most correct to me it's 50/50. Some parts of me going with the Sharingan theory, others going with the Zetsu clone theory.
But yes, I did find it strange that there were no ninja around when they arrived on the battlefield. So that leans me towards the Zetsu clone theory a bit.
Still 50/50 on it though ^_^
I posted on this once before, but it seems that thread was dumped since I can't find it.
Anywho, information coming from your right eye is processed by the left side of your brain, and vice versa (it's called cross-lateralization). Consequently, if Zetsu were to somehow transmit visual stimuli to the right side of Obito's brain, Obito would "see" that as coming from his left (phantom) eye. Of course, it's extremely unlikely that this was going through Kishi's head when he wrote this.
maybe kakashi did it becase she carried some important info on the leaf so beacause he could not win against the mist he killed her just like how kisame killed that woman an the rest carrying information on is village
yeah right, kakashi hitting the "supposed to be" RIN with his raikiri and not a spill of blood? oh come on...take a look back kakashi hitting HAKU with the same technique back then, my theory is that Madara is all behind this, fooling Nagato, pretty much fooling Obito..
Isn't obvious that kakashi wasn't under genjutsu. Maybe rin (hypnotise/maybe she was a traitor) tried to kill him. And he thought he was in a genjutsu that's why he kept only his sharingan open. So he could focus, so i doubt that was a genjutsu on him or i doubt it was a zetsu
There are interesting arguments here. That Kakashi being a Zetsu clone might be possible. Would certainly explain why the Zetsus at the cave, who serve Madara, were so eager to get Obito to the war site.
But although Kakashi did ask Obito "aren't you gonna blame me?!" I don't think it would make any sense for Kakashi to ask that if Kakashi had indeed killed her, cause it would obviously been his fault in that case. What Kakashi always said at the graves was "sorry that I couldn't protect Rin", like he wasn't there or wasn't strong enough to prevent it.
When I first saw that image, of Kakashi killing Rin, it reminded me of one of Kisame's flashbacks, when he had to kill his squad mates to protect information.
Could that have happened to Kakashi and Rin? At Kakashi Gainden Rin is a Medical Ninja. But some time later, she might have come to be a greater asset for some reason, too great an asset to fall in enemy hands... Although Kakashi had swore to protect her, he also is strict when it comes to follow the rules...
Also, here we see Kisames death as a reason of pride on the eyes of Gai, Kakashi's rival.
What do you think?

Fascinating feathers
April 9, 2014 —
As if the Cornell Lab of Ornithology isn't already fantastic enough, this leading authority on birds recently released a new in-depth website that explores many facets of feathers from scientific viewpoints.
Viewers can learn how feathers work in a section devoted to feather anatomy. In Feather Function, the various roles of feathers are explored, such as flight, display, camouflage, insulation and weatherproofing. Other sections illustrate how feathers develop and how they have evolved over time.
In associated materials, conservation concerns are addressed, such as the impacts of oil spills on birds and their feathers. (See www.birds.cornell.edu/Page.aspx?pid=1909).
The interactive site features free downloads for teachers, a reference article, and a video library with more than 90 videos. Visit biology.allaboutbirds.org/all-about-feathers/ to learn more.
And for educators, the lab is offering a free webinar on April 15 at 8 p.m. about how to use its bird cams in lessons. The BirdSleuth team will share information about the birds, the cameras and the biology behind the webcam initiative. Visit www.birdsleuth.org/bird-cam-webinars to learn more.

The Dodgers get the first cannon blow against the Pirates
The Dodgers get the first cannon blow against the Pirates!
Shane Victorino went boom
Harang got the win and Jansen got save #24. Jansen is also in my baseball fantasy team, Los Locos Azules!
Let's do it again! Let's go Dodgers!
Got title idea from Efren Meza's tweet. Efren is the Dodgers Spanish Radio Producer/Engineer. He started using twitter a few days ago. He is also responsible for teaching our Spanish announcers Jaime Jarrin & Pepe Yniguez how to to use Twitter. Their account are @trublu_Efren, @JaimeJarrinHOF @PepeYniguez . Efren says that Jaime & Pepe picked it up easily and are having fun. Thank you Efren!
Thank you Jaime & Pepe! Es un honor seguir su poesia Don Jaime y Pepe, no te quedas atras. Ya tuve que usar el Para Burros con dos palabras que no estaba segura el significado.
Welcome aboard Getlemen!
Efren who is in his first year with the Dodgers is visiting the stadiums for the first time. He is taking suggestions for things to do in Pittsburgh and Atlanta.
Here is a nice picture from Jon SooHoo of "El Patron y dos de sus sequaces" In order of pic, Pepe Yniguez, Jaime Jarrin and Efren Meza.

Very nice Emma, I always enjoy your posts and the pictures !
Hey Victor! Long time no see.😉
Love the cat picture with his glove. Yes they are tough against other teams but Dodgers seem to have their number. Can you imagine that that happen to be Kershaw's first game against the Pirates?

This is being adapted from a HIV/AIDS camp that was for primary age students. The camp was for 5 days, but the sessions were for 3 days.
Day 1
Welcome and introductions
"everyone lives by selling something"
Explain what this session is about, what will happen during your sessions for the week.
Start by asking questions about what their parents do:
- What does your father do for a living?
- Your mother?
- Answers will probably include farming, trading, sewing, provision stores, etc.
You get at the point that all their family survive (and prosper for those that are good at what they do) by selling or producing something
Briefly go over the plan for the next three days:
- Basic business information
- Pricing
- Marketing
- Opportunity to run their own business
So what is a business?
- the practice of making one's living by engaging in a trade
There are three types of businesses:
- Producing and selling items
- what does it mean to produce something?
- to make or grow; ask for some examples from students (growing and selling vegetables, making kente and selling it at the market, etc.)
- what does it mean to produce something?
- Buying and selling items (trading)
- what are some examples?
- selling rice or sugar at the market, minerals at the provision store, selling GTP/ATL cloth
- where do you buy and sell?
- the market, the provision stores, the street
- what are some examples?
- Providing a service to other people
- what does it mean to service someone?
- help or do work for someone; ask for some examples (driving a taxi, hairdresser, by day weeding, etc.)
Day 2
can identify which type of business it is. (ie kente : producing and selling, fanta: buying and selling, etc.)
So what is a business? What are the three types? Some examples?
Now will look at Pricing
So what is Pricing?
- Pricing means deciding on the price you will charge for your product of service
So figuring out how much you want to charge for kente or wash someones hair
Remind them that they will be running a business of their own, so it is very important that they pay attention… if they want to be successful and make money.
After you price your product or service, what do you need?
- Customers!!
- people to buy or use your product or service
So what is marketing?
- Getting the customer to come to your product or use your service (convincing people to buy your product/service)
How can you market your products?
- Actions when selling: polite, shout, smile, be friendly so people come back
- Making things nice and orderly: sweeping, stocking your goods in a creative way or nicely, painting and decorating your store, looking clean and presentable
- Advertisements: eye catching kiosk pictures, information centres, signboards, radio, stickers
- Logos (symbol that represents your business) ie. Tigo- express yourself, MTN-everywhere you are
Why should you use marketing?
- Let people know about your product
- Sell faster
- Gain new customers/keep existing ones
Now they are going to spend the next day preparing for their business, so you can review everything that you just went over and explain about the business they are going to run. Since they also had sessions about environment, we sold moringa seedling and for fun we also did jolly juice. They could use the information they learned about moringa during their environment session in their sales pitch, etc.
Day 3
Welcome back to biz
Review of Day 1:
- What is a business?
- Types of business?
- What is marketing, why is it important? The types of marketing?
- How did the businesses go? What did you do to sell your products? Did people buy them? Did you have fun?
Now we want to talk about how things went yesterday, and if you were able to make a profit on your business
What is income?
- Any money that comes into a business
What is expense?
- Any money that goes out of a business
How does money come in?
- By producing and selling
- By buying and selling
- By providing a service
How does money go out?
- Materials purchased
- Money spent on services (electricity, transport, etc)
- Wages to employees
- Repair/replacement of materials/equipment
So lets look at our business:
- What was being sold and at what price
- What were the expenses
- How much did we sell
So now that we know our income and expenses, we can figure out if the business was successful or not
How can you tell if your business is good?
- Profit!
How can you tell if your business is bad?
- Loss!
How do you figure out if you made a profit or ran at a loss?
Money in from sales minus money out for expenses = profit or loss
Is profit the same as income?
- No. profit means your business receives more money from sales that you spend on expenses
Gh¢ 10 (money from sales) - Gh¢ 7 (money out for expenses) = Gh¢ 3 PROFIT
Loss means you spend more money on producing or buying your product/service than you receive by selling it
Gh¢ 7 (money from sales) - Gh¢ 10 (money out for expenses) = Gh¢ -3 LOSS
Now lets calculate our profit/loss
- What was your income?
- What were some of the expenses?
- What was the total expense?
- How do we calculate the profit/loss?
Final Review:
- What is a business? What are the three types?
- Marketing, why?
- Income/expense
- Profit/loss
Keys to a good business:
- Have unique product or service
- Market your product or service well
- Decrease your expenses
- Reuse profit wisely

Citizen Participation
As we recently passed the 150th anniversary of West Virginia becoming the 35th state, a great deal has been written and spoken about the ideals that led to that memorable event.
This anniversary has brought fourth a remarkable amount of interest in the love of this Union that drove West Virginia residents – our ancestors – to make the unprecedented political and social statement they did by breaking free of Virginia's domination to forge their own path.
However, it would boggle the minds of these ancestors to learn, then, that West Virginia ranked dead last in voter turnout during the 2012 general election. In fact, ours was the only state in which fewer than half of eligible voters headed to the polls in November. Fewer than one-fourth of 18- to 24-year-old voters made the effort.
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant attributed some of this apathy to the lack of face-to-face contact with the candidates. "We were overlooked by both sides of the presidential candidates for obvious reasons," she said. And, of course, President Barack Obama's unpopularity here kept some voters away from the polls.
Of course, voters' behavior has given future candidates little reason not to continue to overlook the state.
West Virginians who could not be bothered to care enough to vote in November may find themselves caring a great deal, now.
So, let us carry away from this year's celebrations more than just the memory of fireworks displays and historical lectures. Today's West Virginians also should carry away a reminder of the importance of citizen participation in the political process.
That is the most valuable gift given us by those who came before. It should not be squandered.

It Wasn't The Sand Uniforms…
…but it might have been Henry Blanco. I don't know how my Padres escaped the Curse of the Sand, but they were able to pull out a great win last night against the Dodgers.
My dear boy Kouz drove in our first run in the first on an infield single. We got another run in the inning on an Edgar Gonzalez groundout.
We got our third run in the third on a Chase Headley single.
Kevin Correia quickly gave back a run to the Dodgers, but after a single in the second, he did not allow a baserunner for the rest of his outing of six innings. Going out on three day's rest, he was spectacular. He only threw 81 pitches in the six innings, but Buddy decided to give it to the bullpen, who have been amazing.
Greg Burke and Edward Mujica combined for two scoreless innings. Heath Bell made it interesting as usual, but he got a double play and a fly-out to close his major-league leading 18th save.
XX 1090 intereviewed Heath after the game, and it was pretty funny. Heath LOVES to talk, so if you get him going, he doesn't stop. He said that the guys in the bullpen had planned to put runners on to make it more entertaining because people were saying the Padres were boring. LOL!! Here we are, pulling out our hair when the bullpen gets a few runners on in a close game, and Heath's telling us that that's intentional. What a funny guy!
It was a great, great game. My boys got just enough runs, and the pitching took care of the rest.
Clayton Kershaw threw his shortest outing of the season, going only 2.2 innings and throwing 83 pitches. That's the way to do it boys!
Nick Hundley got hit on the wrist the other night. His x-ray was negative, but he's probably going to be out for a few games. So, last night Henry Blanco caught. And I'm wondering if having Henry back there helped Correia throw as well as he did.
Don't get me wrong, Nick is a great catcher, and he's going to be very good. But that's just the thing. He's growing, he's learning, and maybe the pitchers aren't entirely comfortable with him. Henry has done great things with Jake this season. They haven't come out and said that Henry is Jake's personal catcher, but Jake hasn't been caught by anyone besides him.
Henry has a lot of experience catching and mentoring. He's done wonders to catchers like the rookie from the Cubs last year. I think our pitchers feel a lot better with him than Nick.
I am a huge admirer of catchers. I adore them🙂 They are soo amazing, and I would say that catcher is the hardest position to play in Major League Baseball. A pitcher's performance has a lot to do with his catcher. If the pitcher has a catcher who doesn't know how he likes to throw and what he like to do, it's going to be distracting. I think that Correia was really comfortable with Blanco last night.
I think that catchers should get wins with their pitchers. Catchers don't get much credit at all, since they don't hit that much. If you think about it, catchers should hit really well because of their knowedge of pitchers and the strike zone. Interesting.
OK, I just had to share this. Pretty amazing, huh?
Like father like son. It's great to have both the Gwynns here in San Diego🙂
Well, we've got an off-day today, which will be good. With the series split, we are now 28-31, 11 games behind the Dodgers. We're just going to hang in there, and when the Dodgers fall apart, we will pounce and take over the NL West. I think we're going to the playoffs this year.

I wouldn't count on the Dodgers falling apart, but I'm sure the Padres will narrow the gap. Enjoy the off day.
So what is the Padres' record with the sand unis? I guess there's at least one win, then! See, maybe they aren't so bad after all (I'm talking about the uniforms, not the team)?
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Out here in Milwaukee I have heard a lot of talk of a possible trade between the brew crew Hardy and Peavy with maybe a minor leaguer thrown in too. Might be on the way!
The Padres looked really good yesterday and they looked like they are ready to start winning again. Their winning streak, not too long ago, looked great and the whole team was playing well. Hopefully for you they start winning.
Uh-oh. I hope what Tom said is not ture! I'm going to start to panic again!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh! Ok, I don't want to get too much into that.
Great win last night. I'm so glad we FINALLY won at LA for the first time this season, even with the sand uniforms. Kevin did an awesome job pitching last night and I hope Nick gets better soon. Those pictures of Tony and his dad are great! Can't wait for the interleague series against the Angels. Go Padres!http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com

Jolly seeks return to form
Johnny Jolly does not believe his sobriety is dependent on football. But he's definitely glad to have the game in his life again.
"I wouldn't say that I need it, but I love the sport, so I want to play," the Green Bay Packers defensive lineman said Sunday, following the first in-pads practice of training camp. "I've been through so much stuff, it's made me a better person, a wiser person. There are things in life you just have to go through and learn from and I'm a better man from it now. I'm just going to keep rolling with it."
Jolly, who missed the past three NFL seasons while suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, is trying to become the same player and a different person all at the same time. Each is a day-in, day-out challenge that he believes he'll be able to overcome, and as he seeks balance off the field life and shakes off the rust on it, Jolly believes he's getting better at both.
"I let my team down before, I let my family down before, I let myself down before, and I'm just trying not to go back down that road," Jolly said. "I'm just going to keep doing what I do. Practice hard, work hard. I'm one of 90 men (on the roster). I'm going to keep pushing to be here for the season."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jolly indefinitely following the 2009 season after multiple arrests for codeine possession in his native Houston. After missing the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons – he watched the Packers win Super Bowl XLV on television, later admitting he was high as he watched the telecast – he was finally reinstated in March. The Packers, who never gave up his NFL rights during his suspension, then signed him to a restructured, minimum-salary deal that would pay him $715,.000 this season if he makes the team.
After his final arrest, Jolly was given a six-year prison sentence that he began serving in November 2011. However, after just six months of incarceration, Jolly was released and put on "shock probation" for the next decade. He estimated he spent a total of "eight or nine months" in jail or prison because of his codeine addiction, and in May, he graduated from a court-ordered rehabilitation program and was allowed to join the team during the first week of June for the mandatory minicamp and final organized team activity practices.
"You can tell that he's still working out some kinks, but at the same time you can tell that he's still got it," said Packers right guard T.J. Lang, who has been facing Jolly in practice. "I think he's just trying to still work through all that to get back to where he was. It definitely looks like he's on pace to do that. I like having him back in this locker room."
For the record, Jolly said Sunday that he does not have any sort of team-appointed handler. The Packers have not given him a babysitter, deciding instead to give him a support network while also putting the onus of responsibility on him to stay on the path to redemption.
"This is family here, (but) no one has to look after me like I was a child," Jolly said. "I'm a grown man."
But that doesn't mean Jolly doesn't have people looking out for him. At Lambeau Field, Jolly has his defensive linemates, whom he calls "brothers," as well as coach Mike McCarthy, defensive line coach Mike Trgovac and other teammates pulling for him. No one seems to know if Jolly will regain his pre-suspension form – he was the defensive line's best player in 2009, when the Packers ranked No. 1 against the run in the 32-team NFL – but they love having him back in the fold and love the passion he brings to work each day.
"That's my guy, so I'm rooting for him," wide receiver James Jones said. "The presence that he brings over there to the defensive line, the swagger – you can tell. You could tell today how amped up they were, how physical they were. I think J.J. brings a lot of that. The last time we had a swagger like that (on defense) is when we had J.J. and Cullen (Jenkins). That's when guys really felt like they couldn't be blocked. That's what I'm excited about. He brings that presence over there, that swagger. That's what I'm most excited about."
And at home, Jolly has his wife of six days, Voniecia, to help keep him on the path.
"Oh yeah," Jolly said with a belly laugh. "She stays on my ass."
The couple got married on Monday, before Jolly traveled to Green Bay in time for camp-opening physicals on Thursday morning. If he makes the team, Voniecia, whom he met in 2010, will move from Houston to Green Bay. Jolly also said he would consider making the smallest city in pro sports his year-round home, even though he blames himself – not Houston – for his problems.
But first, he has to earn a spot on the roster, which is no slam-dunk. Six linemen made the 53-man roster coming out of camp last year, and it would appear that at least four players – veterans Ryan Pickett, B.J. Raji, second-year man Mike Daniels and rookie first-round pick Datone Jones – are locks. Rookie fourth-round pick Josh Boyd is a good bet, too, as is unsung veteran C.J. Wilson, who's played in 42 games over the past three seasons. There's also Mike Neal, who has become a defensive end/outside linebacker hybrid.
Pickett and Raji are the only ones who've played with Jolly, but his unselfish attitude has made an impression on his new teammates.
"Oh, my gosh, he cares. He's a team-first guy. Definitely not selfish," Daniels said. "You hear some things, you just don't know what to think and then I meet him and (think), 'Golly, it's just so unfortunate for what happened to him.' I'm just saying in a sense of when you get to know him. He's such an awesome person."
Jolly said he reported to camp at his prescribed weight, although he wouldn't divulge what it was. (He is listed at 6-foot-3 and 325 pounds but was listed at 340 in 2009.) He admitted that he ballooned up while out of football, and while he worked to lose weight while in prison and after his release, he is still working his way into football shape. That's what made Sunday's practice so important, as Jolly put pads on for the first time since the team's NFC Wild Card Playoff loss to Arizona on Jan. 10, 2010.
"It's critical," said McCarthy, who is keeping Jolly on a limited snap count in practice. "You can't get in-line work at the place you work out at. You can't simulate that. You can go to different workout places and wrestle and do all the other things, but the ability to get in a box situation with the pads on with the offensive linemen around you and seeing everything, it's extremely valuable.
"With Johnny, that's where he always thrived, as an inside player and his ability to get off blocks, his instincts. He just needs as much as he can. But we also have him on a rep count, too, because we have to be realistic about where he is."
Jolly, meanwhile, says he is realistic about what's most important. He said if football doesn't work out, he'd like to return to school to finish his degree – he said he left Texas A&M roughly 20 credits shy of graduating – and he'd also like to work after football with at-risk kids battling addiction.
"I'd be willing to talk to kids that are kind of off track right now, because I know what it is to be off track and I know what it is to be on track," Jolly said. "Sometimes you just need that person in your ear to let you know the good advice that has been down that road and can tell you, 'That's wrong' or 'That's right.' You'll be amazed by how much it'll help. If I had opened my mouth and said something to my teammates or coaches back then (about needing help), I probably wouldn't have been in the position that I am. But God put me through it, and it made me a better person.
"I'm so happy. I mean, I don't know many guys that get a second chance. But a second chance back to the same team that you were drafted to? Man, that's a blessing from God. The whole time I was suspended, I had faith I would be back in this position, and I just kept trying to do the right thing. Not saying it was perfect, the way I've done it, but I've done most of the right things and I'm back in this situation. I thank God for that."

Eyes of Metal and Agate
Glazed ceramic
Ceramic creatures of liquid and bone stand motionless, guarding treasures of eras faded beyond recall. In those centuries predating the primacy of written language, the craftsmen were storytellers and the artists' painterly sleight of hand embellished the spoils of nature for all to gaze at and wonder.
Drawing from the history of ceramics and craft, Nurielle Stern explores clay as a contemporary sculptural material throughout her multidisciplinary practice. Her sculptural objects and installations are informed by historical approaches to ornament, function and story-telling in the design of common objects. Through a re-imagining of the familiar, her work encourages the seeds of new narratives to take root.
While based in Toronto, Nurielle is currently an MFA Candidate in Ceramic Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. She has been awarded a Graduate Fellowship for her two-year course of study. Nurielle received her Bachelor's in Fine Art degree (Sculpture and Installation) from OCAD University in 2007 and went on to study ceramics at the Sheridan School of Craft & Design (2009-12).
Nurielle has participated in several group exhibitions including FUSION's Biennial Juried Exhibition at the Ontario Crafts Council Gallery and the Art Gallery of Mississauga (2011) and the 17th Annual Juried Graduating Sculpture Student Exhibition at the Sculptors Society of Canada (2012) where she was the recipient of the Abraham & Malka Green Award. In her final year at Sheridan College she was awarded the Clifford Scholarship and the 2012 Gardiner Museum Award.

19 top-three league team finishes in past 34 years
ORLANDO, FLA.—The bottom of the lineup came through again for the Dutch but it wasn't enough as Bethel University (Minn.) stopped the Central College men's tennis team 5-4 Monday.
Meanwhile, the women's team battled Bethel to four tiebreakers but dropped the match 9-0.
Tim Kahl (sophomore, Grinnell) and John Seier (junior, Waverly, Neb.) each picked up two wins. They paired for an 8-4 No. 2 doubles triumph, the squad's only doubles victory, before Kahl scored a 1-6, 6-1, 10-3 win at No. 3 singles and Seier registered a 1-6, 6-3, 10-8 victory at No. 6. Zane Hendricks (junior, Fort Dodge) had Central's other win at No. 4 singles at 7-5, 6-4.
"The bottom of the singles lineup played hot today," coach Steve Tyler said. "Everyone had to move up a spot and John came in at No. 6 and got the win. We played well but just came up one match short."
Kyle Freischlag (junior, Downers Grove, Ill., Downers Grove South HS) had an injury flare up during the doubles competition and was sidelined in singles action, forcing the rest of the lineup to slide up in the order.
"It's tough without Kyle but there were a lot of bright spots today," Tyler said.
Central slipped to 7-3 while Bethel improved to 1-4.
Women show improvement—Central (8-6) didn't make it easy for the Royals (4-4). Angie Allgood (freshman, Muscatine) and Megan Davis (freshman, Highlands Ranch, Colo., Valor Christian HS) made a push at No. 1 doubles before falling 9-8 (7-4). Allgood also lost in a tiebreaker at No. 1 singles, 4-6, 6-2 (10-8).
Nos. 5 and 6 singles were also outlasted in tiebreakers. Anna Bowser (freshman, Fort Dodge) was defeated 6-0, 3-6 (10-2) at No. 5 while Ashlyn Huegel (sophomore, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) was tripped 6-1, 4-6 (10-5) at No. 6.
"We played much better today and that's what I'm looking for," Tyler said. "Bethel is a very athletic team, but I'm optimistic. We played all sophomores and freshmen and it's early in the spring. We need to keep our chins up."
Both teams wrap up spring break competition against NCAA Division II Augustana College (S.D.) Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. (EST).

i'd bring him back at league minimum and have him as a backup, if he'd do it. time for worilds to get his crack. maybe put harrison in a few times a game or on longer drives or something.
If I were James, I send this guy a bill instead of a commission. He screwed James and the Steelers both.
The agent works FOR James. If James wanted to sign that offer HE would have.
looks like james taking the preseason and beginning of the regular season off last year didnt work out too good for him

This time, they want to do it big; bigger than before.
"This is a first night rocket launch," said STAC Vice President Mei Yates. "Basically, we're wanting to take this launch and make it an opportunity to invite everybody in town and to celebrate Independence Day with us."
Following the success of Three Rivers High School physics and chemistry teacher Judy Hudek, who in the last two years has spread the love of rocketry to her students, where the groups of students have grown into five teams that have won awards and competed nationally, it made Yates think.
Why not Beeville?
"What I'd really like to see is that we have a team in Beeville," Yates said.
In the two years since Yates and her husband, William, founded STAC, the club has amassed more than 60 members.
Group members aren't just Beeville residents either. Members span from close cities like San Antonio and Corpus Christi, all the way to Dallas and League City.
The group, which ranges from ages 3 to 70, is a mixed bag of different skill sets as well.
"The club has an awesome mix of talents," Yates said. We have military instructor pilots, aircraft mechanics, engineers, attorneys, medical professionals, communication technicians, electronic technicians, computer technicians, software developers, salesmen, finance professionals, business owners, teachers, college students, high school and kindergarten students.
"The cross-age group and cross-background platform enables us to learn from each other."
The group of 60 plus has a shared interest in rocketry. They now want to share it with the Beeville community on Saturday.
The July Night Rocket Launch kicks off at 5 o'clock at the Beeville Municipal Airport. There will be an opening ceremony, and they are hoping for the national anthem to be played, followed by a kickoff launch.
There also will be a lottery, where winning kids will get on-site training on how to fly rockets, including how to do their own blastoffs.
The event culminates with a lighted rocket launch, courtesy of the STAC Rocketeers.
"At 9 o'clock, we're going to launch some lighted rockets," Yates said. "We're going to have some rockets with lights on and some rockets with a light parachute that comes down."
The July Night Rocket Launch will be sponsored by Wastequip, which will provide hot dogs, drinks and will purchase educational rockets and mentor young rocketeers.
Other sponsors include VFW, which will perform the honorary graduation ceremony, KRXB 107.1 Classic Rock, Meskeet Recording and Sound and the Alamo Rocketeers. The honorary sponsor is the city of Beeville, for providing the airport property.
The event is free. The club membership is free. And the STAC love of rocketry is shared on the biggest stage.
Yates hopes that the July Night Rocket Launch will not only bring families together for a fun night out, but also educate and pique the interest those have of rocketry.
"We want to be able to introduce rocketry," Yates said, "but, mostly, the education behind it, to the local community. So, this event is like, 'Hey, come on in, check it out, touch it and see it.'"
Beeville is slowly growing as a hub for fans of rocketry. Yates believes that the July Night Rocket Launch could be the stepping stone to finally getting a Beeville team.
"I really want to see like, when we have a launch, 'Hey, Beeville is right in the back yard," Yates said. "Come on (in), people would drive five, six hours to come down and launch."
And, maybe, the event can become an annual thing.
"The more interest we have, maybe we can grow bigger even bigger and have a good air show," Yates said.

North Georgia Trout
Am heading to Dahlonega, GA in early JUN to meet up with some 509th ABN buddies, and am looking to camp for a few days middle of the week and do some fishing in the area. What I have seen so far leads me to Dukes Ck area, but it looks as if there are a number of other places to pursue the wily trout. Used to Smokey Mtns, and small streams/trout not an issue. Do not have to meet friends until FRI anoon, and plan now on arriving late TUE evening for a motel stay, and camp WED & THU with fishing until noon or so FRI. Do not have to stay in Dahlonega for fishing; only have to be there FRI evening, so fishing is priority for TUE thru FRI morning. Any and all suggestions re: places to stay, camp, and fish are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your advice.
Skip Watson
Nice talking with you. Sorry we could talk more but I'm on the road WEst tomorrow at 5:00am. Lets get together in October. Enjoy north Georgia, It'll be warmer than Wyoming!

North GA
I live in North GA so I might be able to help you out. Dukes Creek is my favorite stream in the state. It is the best public trophy stream in Georgia in my opinion. Small stream loaded with fish. It has a reputation of being tough. The fish are stream-born, so there not big dumb stockers. My first trip there I landed 3 bows over 20" on a size 22 midge pattern. It is only open for fishing on Wed, Saturday, and Sunday. You also have to make reservations, but there is no fee to fish. You have the Toccoa River in Blue Ridge which is an excellent tailwater fishery, and Helen (where Dukes is at) isnt too far away. Both these areas are pretty close to the Dahlonaga. Both areas have more to offer, those are just my favorites. Not real sure as far as camping goes. North Georgia Trout Online is a good site with loads of info. Some of those guys have some great information on camping, hiking, and fishing.
Hoped some of this helps out. Good luck!
one thing about Dukes is that it's 100% barbless. You need to leave all barbed flies at the hotel, because they will fine you if they find any on you (even if you are not using them) and they check. So smash down some barbs if you have barbed flies and throw them in a special dukes box.
Thanks Labrador, I forgot to mention that, and yes they do check.
I have fished in that area only twice and have limited knowledge but if you are willing to drive a little farther I would recommend you try the Upper Chattahoochie River campground in the forrest just north of Helen. I had the 34 site campground to myself last July (a Mon-Wed stay) and the Upper Chattahoochie River runs right next to the campsites, and it is skinny water . Jimmy Harris at the Unicoi Fly Shop pointed me in that direction and gave me some good pointers for the area as well.

Good luck, Enjoy and post a follow up report when you return
North Georgia Trip
First, thanks to all who responded to my request for information on N GA. Made the trip 1-6 JUN, and fished 2-5 JUN. Camped at Toccoa Valley Campground and started to fish a-noon of WED 2 JUN. Water was slightly muddy, but rained like the proverbial cow most of the night and blew it out. Fished Noontoola Creek THU, and did OK for combat fishing. Just like the Smokies, small streams, smaller natives, etc. FRI hit Cooper's Creek, and also did OK, same type of fishing. Headed to Dahlonega FRI a-noon for a mini-reunion with 509th Parachute Infantry fellow officers, and did get to US Army Mountain Ranger Camp where we all did the 2d Phase of RGR School in 1969. Got to fish SAT on Waters Creek, but full of campers and bait fishers with strings of undersize fish, even tho is restricted stream.
Georgia is serious about trout fishing. GDNR publishes "Trout Streams of Georgia," the by far best state produced map on fishing I have ever seen, and it is full of stuff. If even thinking of going there get a map. Unicoi Outfitters in both Blue Ridge and Helen were very helpful; not quite LRO, but then again, who is? Roads fair in the area; camping seems adequate; people friendly, and lots of streams. Not sure where all the fish are, but also seems to be a lot of info on the internet. Smokies are closer for me, but will not rule out heading back to meet an Atlanta buddy again. Skip Watson
hw3, sorry i missed your original post.
I'm thinking that if you saw hordes of people on "waters" with stringers of trout, you were actually on Dick's Creek, below ( or above?) where Waters comes in. Unless they've chanced the rules up there, you used to have to check into and out of that stream, and it was watched closer than Dukes ever is. . . I haven't been there since about '2001 though so I dunno. But what you described sounds alot like the normal scene on Dick's creek.
As for the toot, most of the fish are small. However, rest assured you were walking in a stream where the largest wild fish on public land in GA live. The fish in Dukes are stream-born, but I believe they are also fed each week. Same with Waters though, I haven't fished Dukes in almost a decade, so things may have changed there - but I don't see the fish getting to trophy size without supplemental feeding.
Again, wish I would have caught you sooner on this. I'd have gladly PM'd you some other creeks to try in the hot June weather.
And thank you Sir, for your service to your Country!

"The class of 1964 has had five year reunions since we graduated and it is good to see each other at these reunions," said 1964 RHS graduate Mary Keining Hughes. "We have been very lucky that no one in our class has died and we had eight out of 15 attend this last reunion. The best thing is seeing each other and catching up on the last five years."
The reunion saw the former classmates enjoy a barbecue dinner with all the trimmings. The eight attending members shared memories through things such as scrapbooks, a powerpoint presentation, and the telling of memories going back to elementary through high school days spent in Runge.
According to 1964 RHS graduate Mary Beth Morgan, the RHS teachers and curriculum prepared the students well for the future. The 15 members of the class of 1964 went on to have successful careers in varied areas such as nursing/medical, law enforcement, education, business, among others.
"Many also volunteer for nonprofit organizations," said Morgan. "The class thanks God for their lives and blessings throughout the years."
The eight members attending the reunion were Mary Beth Schrade Morgan, Joe Altimarano, Pat Liska Eichmann, Mary Kiening Hughes, Larry Duckett, Dianne Blakeney Fidler, Charlene Novak Blaschke, Harvey Menn. Also attending was the classes high school chemistry and biology teacher Milton Johnson.
Unable to attend the reunion were former classmates and fellow 1964 graduates Harriette Battle, Josie Dalton, Loma Foster, Estella Garcia, Becky Konvicka, Tom Pool, and Patsy Setze.

text: Hello, I am the mother of a nine and half month old baby girl, our nursing has been going strong no problems ..til now. I started working 4-10's four months ago and I would pump three times a day and nurse twice including co-sleeping. She eats four small meals a day(solids) then she gets expressed breastmilk or nurses. But the problem I am having is I will pump and only get 3-5 ounces that's if I'm lucky. It keeps going down now, from day to day. But the thing that really got to me was lastnight she nursed to bed like usual and we were sleeping like 2 hours and she woke up frantic. Okay she was just latched on. Nope It was empty and the bad thing was, is I was as frantic as she was. So i put her on the breast i usually save to pump in the morning and I only got 3 ounces in the morning. So dig in the freezer again(3rd day in a row) but that only lasts so long. It seems like my eating hasn't changed and i'm not on my cycle. But I do not want to give her formula! we made it this far and that is my last option, I really want to make it until she is a year or when she's ready! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Grant County Sheriff's deputies arrested a Mattawa man Saturday evening on allegations he sexually assaulted one of his own children.
Deputies and EMTs were called to a Mattawa home on Saturday evening by a woman who claimed one of her children had been raped. The woman told deputies she and her husband had been in an argument and she fled the house and went to a relative's home for help.
When she returned she found evidence her 10-year-old daughter had been sexually assaulted and called 9-1-1.
When deputies arrived, three of them attempted to arrest the woman's husband but he first refused to open the door and then, when they were inside the residence, refused to obey the deputies. Deputies used a Tazer on him twice to subdue.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken into custody and booked into the Grant County Jail on suspicion of first degree rape of a child.
The victim was taken to a Yakima hospital where she underwent surgery for her injuries. Another child was also taken to the hospital for unspecified injuries.
The investigation into the case is ongoing.
