Note: I do not own pokemon just the character Piper
Please review and if you would like something to happen in the story messege me or put it in a review.
Just another pokemon journey: chapter 1
She couldn't sleep; tomorrow she was getting her first pokemon. She was currently reading a book about pokemon, like a mini poke'dex, and was trying to decide which starter pokemon to get. There was Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, they were all so cute and even thought she had always wanted a Squirtle she couldn't help but think about choosing Charmander. Bulbasaur was cute and all but she really didn't like grass pokemon, which would probably to a good reason to choose it.
"Piper I know your excited about tomorrow but you do need to sleep." Her mother said from behind her. She turned from where she lay on the bed to find her mother leaning on the door jam in her robe drinking coffee. Her mother had to get up at 3:30 almost every morning to go to work.
"Oh hey mom, what time is it?"
"Four o'clock, and Professor Oak's lab doesn't open to trainers till eight."
"Man I didn't realize it was so early." Now she only had four hours to decide which pokemon she wanted. "I'll try to catch a little nap."
"Good, make sure you set your alarm I have to be at work in an hour." She turned and started for her bedroom.
"Love you later!"
"Love you later." Her mom yelled back.
"All right." She quickly set her alarm clock for 7:30 and laid out her clothes for tomorrow.
She turned out the lights and slipped into bed. It seemed like she laid there for hours before finally falling asleep. Her dream started out normal; the three starter pokemon were infront of her each looking cute and waiting to be picked. Then as she reached for Charmander everything went black and a pokemon surrounded by a blinding light appeared before her. It was over 10 ft tall and looked to have around 16 plates flouting around it. (And yes everyone I am talking about Arceus)
"Your time will come soon, never give up on your dreams." Then he was gone and everything was dark again.
"Wait! What do you mean my time will come? That makes no sense!"
Piper woke up slowly, and after turning her alarm off set in bed and thought over her dream. Something told her that it was very important that she remember it. It had to be a pokemon, but the question was what pokemon was it? She didn't realize how long she had been sitting there till she looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:30.
Piper gasped. "Oh god I'm late!"
Piper quickly dressed and was looking for her backpack. She was dressed in blue Jean bell bottoms, normal black and purple sneakers, a purple tank top, a blue Jean jacket with a diamond studded butterfly on the back, and to complete the outfit a white and purple baseball cap which she pulled her ponytail though. She had taken great care into picking out her clothes; she wanted to be fashionable yet functional, and the colors of her clothes complements her skin tone, makes her dark brown hair flash red and gold in most lights, and makes her hazel eyes look forest green.
Spotting her backpack at the end of the bed she grabbed it and quickly scanned its contents along with her room to make sure that she hadn't forgot anything. She picked up her phone and put it in her pocket then she picked up her notebook and a couple of her favorite books and tossed them into her backpack. Looking back at the clock and almost cursed, it was now 8:45 and it would take her a half-hour to get to Professor Oak's lab. Maybe if she ran the whole way it would cut the time in half.
"It's worth a shot!" she shot out the door leaving nothing but a cloud of dust behind her.
"Made," gasp "it." She leaned up against the wall at the bottom of the stairs leading to Professor Oak's lab. It was five past nine and considering the fact the she had pasted two trainers on their way out of town she knew she would be lucky to even get a pokemon.
As she made her way up the stairs she hoped beyond hoped that there was still a pokemon left.
The only thing she could hear inside the lab was the faint sound of talking coming from upstairs. She took the stairs two at a time hoping to find the Professor. If he didn't have a pokemon she would have to try to talk him into giving her one, she didn't care what pokemon he gave her as long as she got one and was able to start her journey.
She groaned as she came to stand in the doorway. Torri, her long time rival was talking to Professor Oak with a Bulbasaur at her side.
'Of course she probably thought I was going to choose Squirtle.'
"Well well look what the cat dragged in." Torri said with a big grin.
"At least I don't look like the cat coughed me up."
Which wasn't interlay true because Torri only wore clothes that had been on super models, but the same couldn't be said about her hair. She was wearing a bright pink skirt and sneakers, a black tube top, a black jacket, and a long blue scarf. So yeah her outfit was cute, but her blond hair looked like Cindy-lo-how's off the Grinch, which didn't do anything for her blue eyes.
"Now lady's, this isn't the time for fighting. Piper your quit late, I assume that you still want your pokemon?" Professor Oak cut in.
"Oh yes sir."
"All right then; Torri I believe that we're done here."
"But Professor!"
"I would like to speck with Piper alone."
"Fine." Torri glared at her before stomping away, Bulbasaur close at her heals.
"Um what do we need to talk about Professor?"
"It's about your pokemon." He didn't look too happy.
"I do get one right?" she asked a little panicked.
"Of course." He laughed before smiling at her. "You were very late so you won't get one of the starter pokemon and my backup pokemon are gone to."
"Then what's left?" she frowned, she had really wanted a Charmander. She had heard about something like this had happened only once before a few years back with her older brother's friend Ash. Ash had gotten a Pikachu that day and they were still going strong on their journey today; she heard that he was in Hoenn at the moment. She had always wanted a Pikachu, and she had planned on catching one in Viridian Forest.
"You see I wouldn't normally do this but knowing you as I do I think you can handle this pokemon."
"Is it a Pikachu?" she would really love that.
"No afraid not but this pokemon is even more special then Pikachu if trained by the right trainer." He walked over to the counter where the starter pokemon were kept and pushed a big red bottom that opened up a whole in the middle. A poke'ball slowly rose out of the whole. (This is much like when Ash got Pikachu) Professor Oak took the poke'ball and handed it to her. "Here, and let me worn you that your going to need to be patient with this pokemon."
"I will don't worry." As long as she got a pokemon she could handle anything.
She throw the poke'ball into the air and after a flash of white light her partner appeared. It was small, brown, fuzzy, and totally an Eevee.
"An Eevee?" she couldn't really wrap her mind around it, Eevee's were very rare.
"Ee?" The little Eevee said sitting at her feet with its head crocked cutely to the side.
"Yes, Eevee is one of my nephew's Umbreon's offspring. Gary's Umbreon had a big little and he thought I would like to have one for study."
"Dose he know its going to a trainer?" she knew Gary and it didn't seem like he would let Professor Oak give away one of his Umbreon's baby's to a trainer.
Professor Oak looked away pretending to think. "I told him I was a pokemon short for a new trainer and when I suggested Eevee he liked the idea to."
"Oh does he know that I'm getting Eevee?" Gary had always picked on her much like he did Ash, which she never understood; he just didn't like her for some reason.
"Actually when he heard that you were coming to get your first pokemon he insisted that I save Eevee for you." She didn't think she had ever seen the Professor smile so big. " She also knows a attack called Swift; really useful in battle. You will learn that Eevee can learn a large verity of moves."
"Wow really? I'll have to call and thank him." That so didn't sound like Gary, but there was no reason for the Professor to lie and she knew Gary wouldn't give anyone a pokemon if he thought there was something wrong with it even in the smallest way.
"Now over here are your poke'dex and poke'balls. This is a poke'dex from the Sinnoh region so it could take some getting used to. Your ID is already loaded; you will just need this to register for the pokemon league at the pokemon center in Viridian City." (The poke'dex looks like the Sinnoh poke'dex and has features from Sinnoh and Unova) He handed her the poke'dex and 5 poke'balls.
"Yey, its purple!" purple was her favorite color of all time.
"Yes you can think Gary for that as well he ordered the parts by color and assembled it himself."
"Wow, I'll have to do something to think him for all of this."
'I wonder what's up with Gary? Come to think of it he was acting weird the last time he came to visit before he left for Sinnoh. Oh well that was boys for you. No way to understand them.'
"Now make sure you stop at the pokemon market to stock up on potions, and anything else you may need."
"Thanks I will." Piper looked down at Eevee and held out its poke'ball. "Time to go Eevee, return."
"Vee." It said sadly before the ball sucked it up, then with a pop the ball opened again and Eevee glared up at her. "Ee! Vee!"
"What? Why didn't it stay in the poke'ball?" Piper was completely confused.
"She Piper, she's a girl. As for staying in her poke'ball my guess is she doesn't like it, Ash's Pikachu was the same way."
"So I just let her walk around everywhere with me?"
"I would recommend it, it will help you two grow closer."
Piper looked down at Eevee again who was ignoring her. "All right then no poke'ball."
At that Eevee looked up at her and smiled. "Eevee!"
"Well at least you're happy, come on lets go Eevee. Bye Professor!" she called over her shoulder as she raced down the stairs Eevee following close behind.
"Good bye and good luck!"
Once they were outside she pulled out her new poke'dex and pointed it at Eevee. 'Eevee the evolution pokemon, it has the ability to alter the composition of its body to suit its surrounding environment. Its attacks are Tail whip, Tackle, and Helping hand.'
"Cool and Professor Oak said you knew how to use Swift. Would you mind showing me?"
"Eevee!" Eevee faced a near by tree and fired off its Swift attack. The gold stars hit the tree with great force and were pulverized on impact. "Ee."
"Good job Eevee!" they smiled at one another.
"Finally I thought you would be in there all day." Came a familiar voice from the bottom of the steps.
"What do you want Torri?"
"Well I wanted Eevee; I wonder what you had to do to get it, after all Gary is my boyfriend and he doesn't even like you that much." She all but sniped.
"Okay now that that's settled can I leave?" she asked walking down the steps toward her. She wasn't about to point out that the only reason Gary agreed to date her was the fact that she wouldn't leave him alone and he wouldn't have to see her while he was on his journey.
Torri didn't answer till Piper made it to the bottom of the steps. "I also want to battle you."
She smiled. "Fine by me it'll be good practice."
"We'll see how you feel when I wipe the floor with you."
They walked down the road till they came to the edge of town where the small forest between Pallet and Viridian City lay.
"All right this is a good place." She walked a distance away, turned, and throw a poke'ball into the air. "Go Bulbasaur!"
"Saur! Bulbasaur!" said Bulbasaur getting in the fighting position.
Piper pulled out her poke'dex. (Sorry I will most likely being doing this a lot)
'Bulbasuar the seed pokemon. The seed on its back is filled with nutrients. The seed grows steadily larger as its body grows. Its attacks are Tackle, growl, and Leech seed.'
"Go Eevee, Tail whip attack!"
"Bulbasaur growl."
'Great.' "Tackle it!"
"Dodge it and use your Leech seed."
"Dodge Eevee! Now get behind it and use swift!" Eevee dodged it just in time thank goodness they could have been in really trouble if that attack had hit.
"Watch it Bulbasaur!"
"Eevee!" Eevee ran, jumped, and flipped over Bulbasaur and hit it with swift, sending the grass pokemon flying.
"Now tackle it before it can recover."
"Bulbasaur get up and use tackle!" Torri sounded mad but Piper didn't take the time to look.
Eevee took the hit but it didn't seem to cause much damage. She had to think of something, she didn't want Eevee to get hurt again. "Jump on Bulbasaur's back and hit it with a full powered swift attack." Once Eevee jumped one its back it was hard for to stay on because of its bulb but she got a good grip with her claws and released a swift attack. That was all she wrote for Bulbasaur. If Torri's Bulbasaur had know Vine whip they would have been in trouble.
"No Bulbasaur!" Torri rushed over to Bulbasaur's side as Piper crouched beside Eevee and petted its head.
"Good job Eevee."
"Vee." Eevee purred happily.
"This isn't over Piper, I'll get stronger and beat you." Torri returned Bulbasaur to its poke'ball.
"I look forward to it." All she got for an answer was a scowl before Torri started back toured Pallet town. Piper looked down at Eevee. "Okay Eevee lets see if we can find any pokemon."
"Ee." Into the forest they went, hoping to get to Viridian City before nightfall.

by Matt Agorist, Activist Post:
If there is one thing that's consistent about Donald Trump, it's that he is horribly inconsistent. Whether it be flip-flopping on states' rights for cannabis laws or praising NATO after promising to leave it, where Trump stands on the issues is a crap shoot. That being said, however, there is one issue on which Trump has remained steadfast, it is bipartisan, and everyone should agree on it — it's time to stop human trafficking. And a former Democrat congresswoman from Georgia agrees.
It is important to note that human trafficking is not the same as working in the sex industry. Those who work in the sex trade, voluntarily, are not victims of human trafficking. However, they often find themselves victims of the government and the black market created by that government who pushes their line of work into dark alleys and shady places.
As corporate media writes off talk of 'pizzagate' as if it's some tinfoil conspiracy theory that couldn't possibly happen, recent busts of pedophilia rings are shattering their claims. In fact, after a massive bust in California, Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell says the arrests represent a "very sad commentary on the condition we're dealing with."
"Pretending this issue doesn't exist only makes us more complicit in it," newly elected San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott said last month.
However, it appears that Donald Trump has decided that he won't be party to those who deny the horrid reality that is the child sex trade.
Trump held a press conference last week in which he detailed his plans to go after the victims of the "human trafficking epidemic," as he explained.
In most of these recent busts, however, many of those arrested were simply willing adults seeking a mutually beneficial arrangement for sex with another willing adult.
These facts do not belittle the necessity to go after child traffickers. However, it does show how much money is squandered enforcing the government's version of morality on society. The funds allocated to go after the voluntary sex trade could help to expose the real monsters behind human trafficking.
Let there be no doubt, those who engage in the child sex trade are society's most vile — and many times, the most elite.
Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney also agrees with Trump. However, she takes it a step further, noting that going after child predators will lead to the downfall of both Republicans and Democrats — as this problem goes all the way to the top.

|[Bug 86998] Some format -text options can be applied to only one text object at a time
|Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:16:50 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=86998 --- Comment #5 from Alexandra Casapu <firstname.lastname@example.com> --- For example, consider the following flow: 1. The user opens Impress and starts creating a new presentation 2. Using the text box button(F2), he/she adds some text objects on a slide by clicking on a point in the slide (this way a text box with default checked 'fit to text' options is created) 3. After selecting the group of added text objects, the user right-clicks and selects 'Position and size' 4. He/she modifies the width in the Position and size tab of the opened overlay(eg. set to 15) and clicks on Ok ⇒ The 'Fit width to text' option will become unchecked for the group of objects. Now the user cannot check it unless he/she manually selects each text object. I think this is an incosistency within the 'set size to fit text' options. This behavior was verified on Win7 with OpenOffice 3.4.1, Build 9593. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Wright's Home Services, LLC
My name is Rick Wright and I started this company because I have been in the service part of plumbing for about 10 years now. And in that time I have talked with a lot of customers that were not happy with other services that they have had over the years. I want to change that! I have had various services for my own home and see the need for the change in the service that we all pay for.
They came out gave me a free estimate. It was the best one not the lowest price but the most detailed estimate, and the tech really knew his stuff
Posted on Judysbook.com: 2/26/2010
Called Wright's Home Services and was completely surprised at how Great they are, And the amount of different things they could do! They fixed my washing machine drain,and the tech asked if there was anything else I needed. I asked him well what kinds of things can you do. Turns out they do it all and proved it I had a list of things for my hubby to do that was a year old or more. Like replacing a light in the kitchen, and a new disposer under the sink, the list is long. But they did it all and cleaned up when they were done. I will be calling them from now on. Also gave me a multy job discount. Price was good Service The best

things that I do that everyone else should do, volume one
The "memo" area on your average check is a comedy goldmine begging to be spelunked, yet people fail to recognize this. More often than not, people use this space to describe what the check is being written for: "May 2004 rent", "John's birthday", "Account Number 193883984297", etc.
But in reality, this is an opportunity for free-form comedy. I'm telling you this now because the holidays are upon us, and, like many of you, I have no imagination when it comes to giving gifts, so I often give money. Since we all know that giving cash is too…Italian (read: tacky), I always give checks. I know that receiving cash is preferable, but my logic is, "Hey – I'm giving you free money. The least you could do is take your lazy ass to the bank to cash the check." Sartre says that the purpose of giving a gift is to enslave the recipient. I think that giving a gift is just another opportunity to be a dick.
[Please note: this does not apply only to holidays. Every check I write has something retarded in the memo. This is a year-round thing.]
So this holiday season, instead of writing in the memo of the check, "Merry Christmas, Tom!" or "Happy Hanukkah, Chaim!", have a little fun with it. Write something ridiculous and/or offensive. You'll at least get a laugh out of it and perhaps that person will have to hand that check to a teller to be deposited. Sweet.
Here are some examples to get you started:
- "Third place prize - Semen Eating Contest"
- "Killing my father"
- "Licking ass on a dare"
- "Your mother tastes like cocaine"
- "Head"
- "I rubbed this on my balls"
- "Are you my brother?"
- "Still tasting you xoxoxo"
- "This is for the drugs you sold me"
- "Sorry about your sister's uterus and all"
So please, try this at home. I do it, it's awesome, so you should do it.

"Everyone's doing it" is just about the worst reason why a small business should start a web shop. Besides, there is a wide variety of very good reasons why investing in e-commerce makes sense. We've made a short round-up.
Entrepreneur moms know the feeling: some days are just too hectic and they feel more like 'mamager' than manager. Work takes up a lot of time, and then there's the family that craves your attention? So how do you manage all of that?
A teacher with her own web shop, a fireman working after hours as a carpenter or a clerk who starts his own courier business. You can do all of those things as a complementary activity, with all the advantages that brings. At this time, there are over 250,000 people with complementary activities in Belgium, 66% more than in 2000! Are you planning to have a go at it yourself? Make sure to read on.
Be inspired by Proximus Bizz team 17/02/2016
In order to know what your target audience looks like, you first need to know where you want to go. Where should your business be in six months, in a year, in five years…? Try to be as precise as possible and don't keep to vague or far-fetched goals. How many products or services do you want to sell, which part of the market do you want to conquer, how are you going to do that and, also: how much investment budget can you put aside for the task?
Another important aspect are your businesses core values. What does your company represent? Suppose you are a mobility consultant and you've just developed an app that shows your customers how eco-friendly they are when they're on the move. That in itself already defines a target audience: companies or organisations that are willing to invest in green mobility. That basic customer profile can be further honed by thinking about your own core values. The entrepreneur in the above example might very well match logical values as such durability and respect for the environment with other elements he finds important. Security, or integrety or being customer-oriented…
With those values in mind, your target audience should be becoming a lot more defined. For the next step, you get inside the head of your prospective customer. Not to determine how to sell as many products as possible, but to find out how you can help him. What is the most important problem for companies and organisations that want to work on durable mobility? A clear answer to that question will give you a better idea of your target audience. Do they want to use the app to research how they can do more in green mobility? Or do they want to help their employees? And what advice do they want to give those employees via this app?
A customer profile shouldn't just be a matter of intuition or gut feeling. Do try to get a hold of real data. How do comparable apps perform at launch and who uses them? How often are these apps downloaded and what are the comments from users? What is the profile of the people who stop by your green mobility blog? This data will tell you if you're on the right track in your audience definition.
Final matter to consider is to define, within your target audience, who are the most interesting customers. You could do that with obvious personality traits (gender, age, income, …) and interests. Define which profiles from your target audience will help your business reach its targets (step 1), within the right framework (step 2). With this final step, you will not only have a view on your target audience as a whole, but will also have defined your real core target.

Diana Dentinger was raised in a large Midwestern family, finished college and moved to Italy where she has lived since 1984, working as a Corporate Trainer.

Question about Sybase AvantGo Pylon Conduit Subscription (96831)
I want to upgrade my subscription with AvantGo. When I go to: https://www.my.avantgo.com/account/manage_8meg.html to upgrade my account, I get an error message. When I go to the AvantGo "contact us" web page I also get an error. Are they still in business? Is there any way to contact them to advise them of this error? I really like AvantGo, but it may be that they are not in business any more. Either that, or they are very poorly run.

It's been 5 years now since my first job, and yet I remember it all too well, as though it happened just yesterday. Brought up in a home where every rupee was responsibly accounted for, I just couldn't wait to start working and splurge! I'd be spending on truck loads of socks for all I cared. What was more important was the act of being able to spend, guilt-free.
So, soon after college, I put together a CV and started applying. Fresh-blooded, eager-to-please and with-no-real-salary-expectations, I was the ideal candidate. So when I was informed I'd be getting Rs.9000 for the first 3 months as an Intern in Advertising, and later upon reviewing my performance that it could go up to Rs.12,000 I was over-the-top ecstatic. I believed I'd found my life's calling.
The first salary went in treating family and friends. The second salary went in shopping for new clothes for work. By the time the third salary hit my account, everything changed. Suddenly, I found myself weighing my decisions on how and where to spend. My dreams of splurging for the rest of my life seemed far-fetched, distant and outright irresponsible.
#myfirststartup was supposed to free me, but instead it started transporting me into adulthood. Suddenly, I seemed to have a new found respect for my hard-earned money. Suddenly, I totally understood my parent's behavior. #myfirststartup taught me the value of hard work and being disciplined.
I believe #myfirststartup is probably the reason I have savings today and am at the verge of buying a home very soon. In fact a 2 bedroom apartment at Sobha Dream Acres is among my shortlisted homes. So when I saw this #myfirststartup blog invite from Sobha, I simply had to write in, especially because of the strange coincidence in timing. Here's wishing good luck to us both and many more homes in the future.

The Flat Bulb by Korean designer Joonhuyn Kim take a standard bulb and squishes it to a square shape. This will enable it to be shipped significantly more efficiently without all that wasted space you normally get by putting a round bulb in a square box. It also won't roll, so accidental breakage by clutzy folks will be minimized. Plus it looks freakin cool as hell.

Meet The Busty Girl Who Constantly Flaunts Her Revealing N.ipples Online (Photos)
Vickie Ama is a young Ghanaian girl who has realized that her gigantic b.oobs are her selling point. The dark-skinned lady has overtime maintained the culture of not wearing a bra when taking pictures. The purpose of this is to keep her big ni.pples se.ductively protruding under her shirts.
A look at her Instagram page shows that the African princess has faithfully maintained this trend for over a year without a change.
Her dedication to her passion of exposing her erect n.ipples has successfully earned her over 38,000 followers on the picture/video uploading site.
Vickie Ama claims to be a super achiever, selfie addict, pretty and ambitious girl. She 'heartlessly' continues to tease her male followers with the massive exposure of her cleavage in questionable photos.

The Circle
Chapter One
The tiny settlement of Draco's Well clung to the edge of the Dune Sea, its inhabitants enduring violent sandstorms and temperamental machinery with the same constant, all-encompassing patience. It was a place where the epic feud over Who Took Farstrider's Bantha carried more weight than dying revolutions, and where the most important gossip had more to do with what old Padreic the odd-jobs-man had stolen this time than with far-reaching empires.
Ben Darklighter loved it.
"Hey! Hey, Ben!" His cousin appeared in the doorway of the Darklighters' garage, bouncing on her toes. "There's a bunch of lights over the hills and me and Lora are gonna go borrow her mom's electrobinoculars. Do you wanna come with us?" The words came out in an explosive rush, with hardly a pause for breath.
Ben smiled, but didn't bother to look up from the ancient holoproj in his lap. It was acting up again, so he had flipped it over and was trying to retune it. "What kind of lights?"
"Just flashes right now. I bet it's a space battle. Looks like it's a big one, too."
"You always say it's big, Sasha. It's probably just a couple of smugglers again." He glanced up at her long enough to shrug. "I don't think I need to see this one."
"Some fun you are," Sasha Darklighter said, rolling her eyes. Ben thought he heard her muttering something about boring cousins as she left, but he couldn't be sure. After a moment, he shrugged and went back to fixing the holoproj.
Ben was eighteen years old - five whole years older than Sasha - and he rather liked being dull. He was a short, stocky sort of boy with tousled red hair and eyes that might have been called laser-green if they had belonged to someone more interesting, and he loved Draco's Well precisely because it was so simple and predictable. Nothing ever happened, petty thefts and epic bantha feuds aside, and when the vaporators were between harvests it was easy enough to find a secluded corner and tinker with a recalcitrant bit of machinery. Not that he minded the endless repairs. Methodical and patient even by the settlement's high standards, Ben had a singular talent for fixing anything - a talent that everyone else in Draco's Well seemed to admire, even if Ben himself didn't find it all that unusual.
This particular holoproj had fallen prey to one of the usual problems. As most of the settlement's technology was wont to do, it had simply worn out. Ordinarily Ben wouldn't have bothered with it, but it was the only holoproj in Draco's Well - and while he certainly didn't want to see off-planet news about the latest Imp victory or watch endless reruns of Captain Fantastik and the Thunder T.I.E.s, Sasha definitely did. He thought it was best to appease her rather than risk her wrath. He had to live with her, after all.
He stuck his tongue between his teeth and squinted down at the half-corroded bits of circuitry and wiring. The holoproj was older than Ben's Uncle Gavin and Aunt Olivea, so getting it retuned involved finding frequencies manually and configuring things in ways that the original manufacturers had probably never intended. A glance told him that it would take a small miracle to get it working again, one he wasn't sure he could pull off.
Which was why he was mentally rehearsing ways to tell Sasha that she'd have to do without her precious holodramas when the holoproj flickered and hissed and suddenly lit up - at which point he let out a loud and rather embarrassing "Ack!" and knocked it out of his lap.
He righted it hastily - no need to damage it worse than it was - and gingerly pressed the power switch. There was a faint whiff of burning circuitry, and with a strange popping sound, the holoproj sprang to life.
Sort of.
Ben stared. Instead of Thunder T.I.E.s, he had a jumble of static and nonsensical symbols, like some kind of strange code. The words "Priority Gold Transmission" hovered at the bottom of the projection.
"Oops," he said.
The transmission didn't have the good grace to disappear. It just continued to scroll, as if it belonged in the middle of an isolated settlement instead of somewhere where "priority gold transmission" actually meant something.
Ben worried his lower lip and wondered exactly what to do with this. He was unsettled. Normally he wasn't the sort of person to be interested in strange transmissions, because they were the sort of things that only happened in holodramas and he'd always found the idea of reading them rather rude, but a transmission accompanied by Sasha's mysterious flashes of light was another story. The fact that both things had happened at the same time was probably a coincidence - but then again, what if it wasn't?
So instead of deleting the bizarre transmission like a sensible person, he saved it onto a data chip and carefully stowed it in his pocket for further examination. Trying to puzzle it out might be fun after dinner, when there was nothing else to do but listen to Uncle Gavin's stories and tinker with the cooling system again. After all, he reasoned, it wasn't as if someone was likely to come looking for it, priority transmission or not. No one came to Draco's Well.
With this justification firmly in mind, he deleted the code from the holoproj's memory and went back to retuning it without a second thought.
Nights at the Darklighter home had a familiar, time-honored rhythm. Admittedly it was a rhythm that involved a lot of complaining and general fussiness, but Ben knew it the same way he knew every tool in the family's garage, and he had always thought it was comforting in its strange way.
First came Uncle Gavin asking about the vaporators ("Number three's still broken.") and Aunt Olivea wondering when they ought to make their monthly run to Anchorhead for supplies ("Sasha's outgrown her shirts. Again.") Then they all settled down for an ever more meager dinner, and Ben got to sit quietly, eat, and watch the newest big issues of the day happen to other people.
"Murenn and Sarai say there's been another attack out past Anchorhead," Aunt Olivea said as an opener.
Uncle Gavin didn't look up from his meal. This was a familiar topic. "Sand People again?"
"They're getting worse," Aunt Olivea muttered. "Bolder, too. It wouldn't kill the garrison to patrol here once in a while."
Sasha scowled and shook her head. "Imps can't catch Sand People. They'd just make trouble for us."
"Don't talk like that," Aunt Olivea said, right as Ben kicked his cousin under the table.
Uncle Gavin helped himself to another piece of flatbread. "Why shouldn't she? She's right. We don't want Imps around here."
"A couple conscripts wouldn't matter. Unless you plan to antagonize them somehow."
"Hmph," Uncle Gavin muttered.
Aunt Olivea wasn't about to give up. "We're not safe here," she snapped. "Mos Espa's close enough to the garrison to keep most of the raiders away. We could stay with my aunt until we got back on our feet and find our own place."
Ben bit back a groan. Sometimes - not often, but sometimes - the friendly arguing went a bit too far. There were some topics his aunt and uncle didn't talk about by mutual agreement. Moving should have been one of them. But now Aunt Olivea had brought it up again, which meant any chance of a semi-peaceful dinner had officially gone out of the window.
Sure enough, Uncle Gavin frowned up at his wife. "That's out of the question."
"The vaporator's still broken - the one we haven't finished paying off, Gavin!" Aunt Olivea set her plate down with a loud clunk. "We can't live off the garage anymore, not with the Sand People scaring off all our business!"
"Lora says they bring in slavers to get people who don't pay off their loans," Sasha murmured at Ben from her end of the table. Ben - who was well aware of all the money they owed and all the problems it could cause, and who really wished everyone would stop fighting long enough for him to finish his dinner - gave her a look and kicked her again.
Uncle Gavin had gone very quiet, which was never a good sign. "We'll make do, Olivea. If I need to, I'll find a job in Mos Espa between harvests. You and Ben can watch the garage while I'm gone."
"I can go."
Ben found himself staring at three slightly bewildered faces. He almost never said anything when the arguments got serious. Truth be told, he was surprised he had spoken up.
"Not by yourself," Aunt Olivea said at last. "It's too dangerous."
"We need the money, and Uncle Gavin knows more about running a garage than I do." Ben attempted a smile. "It'd only be for a season, and if it means we can stay here - "
"No." Aunt Olivea stood up, hands on her hips, so she could tower over him. "You're not leaving here by yourself, Ben. Under any circumstances."
"He's not leaving here, period." Uncle Gavin reached over and gently tugged Aunt Olivea back into her seat. "You know what Mos Espa's like. He'll get himself killed, or worse."
"If we're with him - "
"Or worse, Olivea."
There was something behind those words, some meaning that Ben couldn't quite catch. Whatever it was, it made Aunt Olivea grimace and bow her head in defeat. The fight was over almost before it had begun, but thick tension remained hanging over his aunt and uncle - not because of Mos Espa or money, but because of or worse.
But what could possibly be worse than slavers?
Ben pushed his plate away, suddenly anything but hungry. "C'mon," he murmured to Sasha. "Let's take another look at that vaporator."
Aunt Olivea looked up sharply. "It's getting dark out."
He shrugged. "We'll be careful. Maybe I can get the vaporator running if it isn't overheated."
His aunt looked ready to protest, but Uncle Gavin just shook his head at her. "He's right. We need it working. Hurry back if you see anything odd," he added to Ben, "and take the carbine."
"I'll get it." Sasha stacked her plate on the counter and went to retrieve the family's antiquated blaster carbine from its home by the front door. That left Ben momentarily alone with his aunt and uncle, neither of whom seemed inclined to talk to him.
"I'm careful," he said when the silence felt too heavy. "You know I am. I'd be careful in Mos Espa too. I promise I wouldn't do anything stupid."
Uncle Gavin all but shoved him after Sasha, who had already disappeared out the door. "Don't make me hold you to that."
The Darklighters owned four vaporators around the perimeter of Draco's Well, more than any other family. Along with the garage, they made enough money to live extremely well by the settlement's standards.
Or they had been making enough, anyway.
"I dunno why you're trying to repair this," Sasha muttered as she helped Ben pry the vaporator's maintenance hatch open. "It's a piece of junk. We got cheated."
"You heard your dad. We can't go to Mos Espa." Ben sighed and leaned back on his heels, listening to his cousin with half an ear. In his mind's eye he pictured the circuitry and wiring that ran through the vaporator, pinpointing all the weak points where things could and did go wrong. "I think one of the converters fried. Hand me the welder, would you?"
Sasha dug the tool out of their landspeeder's toolbox and pressed it into his hand. "What's so bad about Mos Espa?"
"It's big, it's crowded, and people get shot a lot."
"But at least stuff happens there!" Sasha jabbed a finger at the sky, shaded purple and gold as the twin suns set over the hills. "I bet people in Mos Espa know what that space battle was about!" When Ben didn't answer - because this, too, was an old and familiar argument - she scowled and crouched next to him. "Are you really gonna stay here your whole life?"
He shrugged. "I think so."
"What about finding your father? Don't you want to do that?"
Not this again. Ben sighed. This was another topic that no one was supposed to bring up. "My father was a smuggler," he said as patiently and reasonably as he could. "I don't think he knows I exist. Why should I go looking for him?"
"Because you could, that's why." She hauled a portable lamp out of the family's battered old landspeeder and began to rig it up. "Maybe he could give you a job."
"I like my job here, thanks." When Sasha opened her mouth to splutter at him, he sighed and held up his hand to cut off her protests. "I don't want to meet him, okay? I'm happy here. I'll help you find a job in Mos Espa or something when you're old enough, but..." He trailed off with an awkward shrug, his gaze still locked on the vaporator. This wasn't a conversation he particularly wanted to have.
Her voice actually sounded strained. Despite himself, Ben felt bad for getting annoyed with her. He knew Sasha didn't love Draco's Well the way he did - that she was practically counting down the days until she could copy their cousin Biggs and go find adventure somewhere offworld and hopefully not get killed in the process - and it wasn't really his place to blame her for being reckless.
He finally looked up from the vaporator. "Look, I didn't mean - "
Sasha wasn't even looking at him. She had risen into a half-crouch, staring at some point in the rapidly darkening sky. Her eyes were wide and round. Ben followed her gaze and instantly spotted what she had - three bright lights growing bigger with each passing second.
Ships heading right for Draco's Well. Big ships.
"Shut off the light," he whispered.
Sasha scrambled for the lamp and all but ripped it out of its power source. "What are those?"
"I don't know." He glanced at the distant lights of the settlement and then at the rapidly approaching ships. "I - I think they might be from Mos Espa."
"Slavers?" Her voice rose into a squeak of terror.
Ben fought down rising panic, as well as the odd urge to glare at her and ask if this was enough adventure for her. Getting angry wouldn't do any good. There was no point in trying to race those ships back to Draco's Well, not in the family's rundown landspeeder, and they had no radios or comm systems to call ahead and warn anyone. There was nowhere at all to hide.
Something - he wasn't even sure what - drew his attention to the vaporator. He flung himself back down beside it and began to frantically sort through his tools.
Sasha stared at him as if he had gone completely mad. "What are you doing?"
"Shutting this down." He didn't think he had the time to explain things to her, but he knew that if he didn't, she would panic and take off for Draco's Well anyway. "It's dark, right? They'll have to use energy scanners to find anyone outside the settlement." He wedged a hydrospanner into the tangled wires and began to shut off connections. In a vague, distant sort of way he wondered what Uncle Gavin would say when he realized his nephew had destroyed their new vaporator for good - but then he thought that maybe Uncle Gavin would never get to tell him anything ever again, and he desperately tried to ignore the unpleasant knot in his stomach.
After what seemed like an eternity, the vaporator's lights blinked off. Ben kicked the tools aside and climbed back to his feet. His explanation seemed to have snapped Sasha out of her stupor, because she was leaning into the landspeeder and quickly shutting off all the emergency power. Ben glanced over his shoulder, ran over to her, and yanked her after him under the landspeeder.
Almost before he had touched the ground, he heard a noise like the world's loudest insect pass over their heads. He wrapped one arm around Sasha and tried to peer up at the ships without revealing himself. For a moment he caught a glimpse of a gleaming silver transport ship, its sides lit up by dozens of windows. Then a familiar spoked circle caught his eye and he rolled further under the landspeeder with his eyes squeezed shut.
Ben felt nothing for or against the Empire. He certainly didn't loathe it the way Uncle Gavin and Sasha did. Whatever the Imps did, the people affected by them never came to Draco's Well. Neither did the Imps themselves. No one cared about his home.
Except now the Imps did. They cared enough to bring three troop transports. He shivered, suddenly chilled in a way that had nothing to do with the rapidly cooling night air. The knot in his stomach had gotten larger and tighter, and there was something about the sight of those ships that made him want to drop everything and run away as far and fast as he could.
"They're gone." Sasha slowly removed her hands from her ears as the sounds began to fade. "Ben, those were - "
He shook his head, not willing to hear anyone say the word, and rolled out from under the landspeeder. By the time Sasha followed him, he was collecting his scattered tools. "Where's the carbine?"
"In the landspeeder." She hugged herself and stared at the lights from Draco's Well. The three ships seemed to be spiraling toward it, as if they all planned to land squarely in the middle of the settlement. "What are we gonna do?"
He opened his mouth, but no brilliant idea was forthcoming. "We can stay at Hermit's Hut for the night," he said at last. "There might be an old comm there. We can call your mom and dad, and if nothing happens we can come back in the morning."
"You're just gonna leave?"
Sometimes he really hated being the dull, sensible one. "What else can we do?" he asked as he bundled up the last of his tools. "Those are - " He still couldn't make himself say Imps, so he settled for powering the landspeeder back up. "What if they want to do something bad? We hid so they wouldn't see us, remember?"
Her breath hitched. He couldn't see her face, but he knew she was crying anyway. "You're such a coward."
"I guess." Ben pushed away from the landspeeder and walked over to her, because he was afraid if he stopped moving he would wind up on the sand, shaking too hard to get back up. "You can call me whatever you want," he said as he gently steered her toward the passenger seat. "I'll let you swear at me and everything tomorrow. Please get in the landspeeder."
Sniffling and glaring, calling him all kinds of things under her breath, she did.
Hermit's Hut was in the middle of nowhere, even to Ben. It was generally avoided by Sand People and Jawas alike, and every settler child had grown up listening to frightening stories about Old Kenobi's Ghost. The most popular one was about the moisture farmers the crazy old man had killed, and about how he had kidnapped the Skywalker boy and dragged him off to parts unknown - and everyone knew what had become of Skywalker, of course.
Ben didn't like that story very much.
He didn't particularly like Hermit's Hut either - the place had always made him feel like something was staring at the back of his head - but it seemed like the safest place to hide out for the night. He pried the door open without too much trouble and herded Sasha inside, wrapping her up in the blanket from the landspeeder's emergency kit. By the time he had finished unpacking things like the carbine and the portable lamp, she was already asleep on the floor.
Which left him alone with the hut. Great.
A quick inspection of the room revealed a couple of sealed chests, several pipes laid out on a table, and a tiny fold-out kitchen unit that, on closer inspection, proved to be out of fuel. Ben slid it back into place before he turned his attention to the chests. It felt invasive and wrong to be going through Old Kenobi's things, but he wasn't in the mood to worry about that. He would just have to feel terrible about it later.
He had never turned his mechanical skills to opening locks before, but Old Kenobi's didn't provide much resistance. They sprang open after a few moments' fiddling. The chests proved to contain a couple articles of clothing, a few cloaks, some datadisks, and some kind of cylinder that produced a long red blade when activated. Ben spent an alarming minute trying not to cut off his own foot before he figured out how to turn the thing off. He decided it was some kind of bizarre laser cutter and stowed it with the rest of his tools.
When the chests produced nothing else of interest, he switched off the portable lamp and spread one of the dusty brown cloaks on the floor beside Sasha, wrapping himself up in it and settling the blaster carbine within easy reach. He expected to lie awake for half the night, shivering and staring at the distant curving shape of the Hut's ceiling, and so was more surprised than anyone when, utterly exhausted, he drifted off almost immediately.
He only woke up once, when he thought he heard a man and woman murmuring to each other in low, anxious voices - but when he opened his eyes, there was only Sasha's familiar snoring. Suppressing a shiver, Ben huddled in the cloak and went back to sleep, lulled by the sound of imaginary arguments on the edge of his hearing.

There's a reason my fingernails and toenails are stained, my farmers tan is well on its way, and my hair has been in a pony for most of the past 2 weeks…the garden has landed.
The ground breaking actually began when I was in AZ. The Hubs and the kids cleaned up a fence row and piles of picked stone (stone picking anyone? a fun first job for most farm kids). These piles had been dumped when this fifty acres held nothing but alfalfa.. but now that there's a homestead here, we've been cleaning up a few of the old piles In this picture I'm dumping some of the stones beside our laneway, to widen it a bit. We borrowed this fine tractor from our neighbour…what a treat it was to drive…may I remind you that this was precisely the kind of tractor I THOUGHT I had bought at the auction. sigh.
The tractor (of my dreams) also had a rototiller feature that was fantastic for working up the ground and preparing a beautifully soft seedbed.
The Hubs then smoothed out the remaining gravel we had piled up at the end of the laneway, and ta-da, we had a wider laneway.
The kids have been such great helpers…hoeing and planting and staking the rows so that they're straight. Gabe helped The Hubs build a pole bean trellis for the plants to climb and also a cucumber trellis, which is a bit of an experiment. I'm hoping the pickling cucs will climb up and provide a bit of shade for the lettuce which loves cooler temps. Time will tell!
This is what it looked like after it had all been worked up and our extra patio stones had been laid for a walkway.
Yesterday was the day for irrigation. We've had enough vegetable gardens to know that if we don't consistently water it, we're gonna end up with puny veggies or dead plants. Our go to method was filling up watering cans and slowly walking through the rows. This worked okay, but watering the roots is a better method than spraying the entire plant with water, and I also know that from previous years, we lose steam about halfway through summer and just pray for rain. This year it had to be different. The Hubs read a few articles on using soaker hoses and watched a few you-tube videos, so we thought we'd give it a whirl. There is a bit of an initial investment, but this system can be broken down and used for many, many more years to come. It involves using a large container for a water holding tank, this one was sourced from The Hubs workplace.
He hooked up a pvc pipe to the tote of water, then put valves on the pipe where our soaker hoses begin.
(sorry about the photo quality, I took them last night after we finished )
So far I've gotten the following in: Peppers (red and green) tomatoes (several varieties including cherry and beefsteak as well as an organic extremely sweet plum tomato..thanks to my favourite organic farmer) pickling cucumbers, dill, garlic, red onion, shallots (which have yet to pop and I may have buries too deep) pole beans, cauliflower, kale (love this in the a dutch dish that mixes mashed potatoes and kale) bok choy, 2 varieties of sweet corn (staggard plant every 2 weeks so that we don't have 300 cobs the same week heh.) leeks (I have a fabulous cheesy leek dip from Jaime Oliver that I'm drooling for) I also have some sunflowers, lavender, holly hocks, and a pink grass starting in there so that they too get lots of water.
Still to plant: Mesclun mix, romaine lettuce, and butternut squash and the remainder of the corn area.
Pretty soon, I'll have to dust off that canner and get my mason jars in the dishwasher!!

This is very interesting. I wasn't aware of where he came from or how to work with him. Thanks for posting this.ReplyDelete
You are very welcome:)ReplyDelete
I have a question about offerings to Him: What do you do with them? Are they supposed to stay on the altar or used in some way? For example, I've seen where He was offered whiskey. Is it just supposed to be his, or is it to be drunk at a certain point in time? Or money as another example, does it stay or is it donated to a charity?
I'm sorry if I'm sounding weird, I just wouldn't want to do anything to offend Him if I was to set up an altar. Thank you for reading, and God bless.
