Area System
All areas except for towns will be dynamically generated. This reduces level design requirements and provides more game play. Areas will be generated by a world seed and an area seed, so the same area can be generated within the same game.
- Areas are composed of 'Area Tiles'
- Each Area Tile is a 20x20 grid of normal tiles
- A normal tile is 32x32 pixels
- Each Area Tile will belong to a theme, such as forest, desert, etc.
- AT - sometimes used to abbreviate Area Tile
Area Tile Details
As mentioned in definitions, all Area Tiles are 20x20 regular tiles, or 640x640 pixels. Each Area Tile will have a theme so semi-coherent levels can be generated.
All possible exits will be represented by the tiles:
Dead Ends:
Two Ways:
Three Ways:
Four Ways:
Area Generation
- Choose starting piece from dead ends
- Set size to 0
- Choose a 2/3/4 way AT
- Attempt to attach current AT to previous AT in this order: NESW
- If attachment failed, return to Choose AT step
- Verify that all exits from the new AT are valid or empty
- if not, return to Choose AT step
- Increase size by one
- Chance to quit = (Size - 7) * 15
- If random number < Chance, then quit
- Else return to Choose AT step

Discussion in 'Business Operations' started by mowforyourmoney, Mar 23, 2006.
how much do you pay your employees on average?
start them at $7.50 if they have no experience my highest paid guy makes 25K per year
$20 plus full benefits
The company I work for starts you out at $8 an hour and trimmer/blower guys can make up to $10. Mower operators/crew leaders make $14-$16. There are no benefits, however.
laborers and foremen get $17.50 and $22.50 respectively, 5 personal days and 1/2 major medical reinbursement
$12 and $10 for my two guys.
$5 per lawn or $500 per week, whichever is more.
$7.00 to $10.00
incentive bonuses for the crew.
no benefits.
PTP you might want to reconsider your pay method. If you have an employee who works more than 40 hours he can come back on you because he did not get paid overtime. I have seen it happen before. Now of course if you give every one of your employees a mangement title of some sort you may be able to get away with it.
same here.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Essential Training: Offline MediaWorking with projects that contain offline media
In Premiere Pro CS4 Essential Training, Antony Bolante provides a step-by-step, hands-on demonstration of a typical video editing workflow, from import to export. After creating a project and discussing how to configure settings based on editing goals, he shows how to gather and organize assets, including video files, layered Photoshop and Illustrator files, and footage captured from tape.
He applies basic editing techniques to assemble a rough sequence, then tightens and refines the edit while doing basic audio mixing. Titles, transitions, and effects are used to add a professional touch. Antony also discusses techniques for exporting the finished edit to disc, tape, and a variety of digital formats.
In this clip, Lynda.com host Antony Bolante reiterates that Premiere Pro refers to files on a hard drive and doesn't contain them, so if you move the files on your hard drive, Premiere Pro won't know where to find them. If you open the project file and can't find the files associated with them, Premiere Pro will open a dialog box so you can locate where it is and select it so Premiere Pro can know where it is in the future.

TONY STEWART, NO. 14 OFFICE DEPOT/MOBIL 1 CHEVROLET, met with members of the media at Atlanta Motor Speedway and discussed the first practice session, the importance of bonus points in the Chase and other topics.
THIRD ON THE BOARD FOR PRACTICE ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY WITH THE CAR SO FAR? "Yeah, I'm pretty excited especially when that was in race trim. It wasn't a qualifying run; our qualifying run was slower than that. I'm pretty happy with the way it's taking off."
YOU AND MATT (KENSETH) TALKED THIS MORNING IS EVERYTHING GOOD BETWEEN YOU TWO THEN? "Yeah, we are fine. It's like we mentioned earlier in the week, we have too much to do the last 10 weeks to be worrying about each other. It's just like we always said there are 43 people out there and they are not always going to agree on the track at the same time. The big thing is getting it done and over with now."
THIS SPORT WAS BASICALLY THRUST INTO THE MAINSTREAM IN 1979 WHEN CALE (YARBOROUGH) AND DONNIE (ALLISON) WENT AFTER IT IN A FIGHT. THE FANS APPRECIATION FOR THAT RAW EMOTION HASN'T CHANGED ANY OVER THE YEARS. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT RESONATES SO MUCH WITH THE FANS? "I don't know it still makes me wonder why NASCAR won't let that moment be relived fully. People like emotion every other sport gets a cool off period, every other sport you get time to calm down where our deal it's a little bit different we don't have that. It's not like one play is a bad play and you go to another play the bad deal for us is we are done for the day. That is where it's different."
ON YOUR USAC (UNITED STATES AUTO CLUB) SIDE LEVI (JONES) IS GOING TO BE OUT OF THE CAR NOW FOR A SEASON ENDING SURGERY TALK ABOUT HOW DISAPPOINTING THAT IS AND ABOUT CHRIS (WINDOM) THAT IS GETTING IN THE CAR FOR HIM: "We are sad that he is going to be out but the good news is the injury that he has in his neck, doing it now and getting him out of the car and getting him operated on Tuesday is going to get him back to 100 percent. For us that is a lot more important than it is trying to finish out these last 12 weeks with him. We are fortunate to have Chris Windom come in, step in, and help us out these last 12 weeks. We are still going to go out and do the best we can to get caught up in the points now and see what we can get out of it."
TALKING ABOUT POINTS ON THE NASCAR SIDE LAST YEAR YOU WENT INTO THE CHASE WITH NO BONUS POINTS, HOW BIG WOULD IT BE FOR YOU GUYS TO GET IN TO THE CHASE WITH THOSE BONUS POINTS? "We didn't have to have any last year to get it done. This year is a different year. You never know until you get in there what it's going to mean. If you have the option to get nine points or not having nine points I think everybody is going to take it."
IF YOU GET THAT HELMET BACK WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? "Charity auction if I get it back. For some reason it's MIA (Missing in action)."
IT MIGHT END UP IN THE HALL OF FAME… "That's fine too if it ends up in the hall of fame so be it. There have been a lot of charities that have asked to have that for an auction right now."
HAVE YOU ASKED FOR IT (THE HELMET) BACK? "No, not yet."

FotoKem Adds Second Quantel Pablo SuiteLeading west coast film and digital lab meets growing demand for DI services (November 29, 2005)
Burbank, California-based film and digital lab FotoKem is boosting its image processing and color correction capacity with the addition of a second Quantel Pablo Suite, responding to rising demand for digital intermediate work on feature films and trailers.
?We do digital intermediate for feature film and a tremendous amount of trailer work, says Bill Schultz, Senior Vice President and General Manager of FotoKem Digital Film Services. ?Pablo is the ideal system for the kind of quick yet sophisticated image processing we do on a constant basis for our clients.
When FotoKem acquired its first Pablo Suite two months ago, it decided at that time to also convert its existing Quantel iQ system to a second full-blown Pablo Suite. This was a major undertaking; the Pablo Suite is based on all-new hardware, including disk architecture and media processing. ?Its a forklift upgrade for our original iQ system, Schultz explains.
Quantels Pablo combines powerful, new-generation image-processing hardware with highly versatile color correction software in a totally integrated color grading environment. It was designed by colorists for colorists and builds on Quantels ground-breaking QColor in-context grading option for iQ and eQ. Pablos intuitive heads-up interface and vast toolset make color correction a fast, creative and highly versatile process.
Because the Pablo Suite is built on the foundations of Quantels eQ and iQ systems, it is also a complete digital intermediate system with a proven a business model. The Pablo Suite also taps the enormous extra power and creative tools of Quantels new Eiger hardware and software, and the revolutionary Time Magic facility, which takes the waiting out of rendering.
Quantels color correction toolset was used by FotoKem on such films as Lord of War, The Lords of Dogtown, Serenity, The Devils Rejects and Hoodwinked.
?FotoKems decision to upgrade to Pablo is based on the increased demand for digital intermediate for features and tremendous amount of new trailer work, says Schulz. He adds that Pablo will be used immediately on projects for Universal, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros., among others.
Each Pablo suite can be loaded with several projects simultaneously. With multiple shifts of digital artists working around the clock, Pablo can greatly contribute to volume of work FotoKem produces, and to the facilitys overall efficiency. Now with two Pablo Suites in-house, ?we can work on even more projects at the same time, notes Schultz.
?Pablo is a tremendous color correction system, he adds. ?It also has advanced conform capability, and Quantels QScribe provides a useful graphics adjunct. One of the best features of iQ is that its an integrated solution for virtually all the needs of trailer production or DI. No other machine out there is as full-featured as this.
With the addition of the second Quantel Pablo suite, FotoKem becomes an undisputed leader in the digital film community. ?It definitely puts us at the top of the scene in terms of technical quality and it allows FotoKem to provide the best creative experience for our clients, says Schultz.

I'm 5'8 and I feel really uncomfortable when I'm taller than guys. When I wear heels, I'm just all legs and it doesn't help that I'm thin. No guys ever approach me and I think my height turns them off. Guys, do like tall girls? Is it okay to wear heals?
Most Helpful Guy
Yes, and yes. Even if you were seven feet tall.
You'd need 7" heels to be taller than me... just look for taller men if you wanna wear heels and are scared of being taller than a guy. But I bet (most of) the short guys would love you too.00|00|0

Honey Crunch Popcorn
Recipe by Shirl J 831
What a treat for that sweet craving, not high in fat either. This would be great placed in some decorative tins and given as a gift.
Top Review by sprue
this was easy to make but a little boring in the flavor department. to make it better (to my liking) i did the following. added more pecans. added a tiny bit of vanilla to the sugar/honey mix after it had boiled, and before i put the popcorn in the oven i shook salt over it and again when i stirred half way. this gave it a nice sweet-salty taste like kettle corn and it was pretty good.. and for anyone else out there like me who doesnt know how much 3 quarts is.. its 12 cups.. but i'm sure most of you already knew that... thanks i had fun trying this recipe.

Washington, June 28: Indian negotiators on the nuclear deal have put the Americans on the mat by pointing out that their President, George W. Bush, has promised reprocessing rights to India and said so in public.
Indias new negotiating strategy on the so-called 123 Agreement to operationalise the nuclear deal is, therefore, to treat the issue of reprocessing spent fuel produced by any American reactors imported by India as an issue which has already been settled.
Reprocessing rights for India has been one of the stumbling blocks in concluding the 123 Agreement even after several rounds of talks between the two sides for 15 months.
Indias negotiators on the 123 Agreement, S. Jaishankar and Raminder Singh Jassal, met their American interlocutor, Richard J.K. Stratford, for a round of unannounced talks here on Tuesday.
The absence of agreement on reprocessing during talks between diplomats and technical experts on both sides has now forced New Delhi to use its Brahmastra, which is Bushs commitment on reprocessing.
At his joint news conference with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhis Hyderabad House on March 2, 2006, Bush acknowledged that he had advocated reprocessing rights for India.
I proposed reprocessing agreements that stands in stark contrast to current nuclear theology that we should not reprocess for proliferation concerns, Bush said in answer to a question on why India was being rewarded for its bad behaviour in not signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
I dont see how you can advocate nuclear power, in order to take the pressure off of our own economy, for example, without advocating technological development of reprocessing, because reprocessing will not only reprocessing is going to help with the environmental concerns with nuclear power. It will make there to put it bluntly, there will be less material to dispose.
He added: And so I am trying to think differently, not to stay stuck in the past, and recognise that by thinking differently, particularly on nuclear power, we can achieve some important objectives, one of which is less reliance on fossil fuels; second is to work with our partners to help both our economies grow; and thirdly is to be strong on dealing with the proliferation issues.
Indias new line in the 123 negotiations may have been behind US secretary of state Condoleezza Rices assertion yesterday at the annual meeting of the US-India Business Council that the nuclear deal will be done only by the end of this year.
The implication of her statement was that completion of the next stage in the nuclear deal required a meeting between the US President and the Indian Prime Minister, which is now expected to take place here in August or September.
Speaking at a panel discussion immediately after Rices speech, Sanjaya Baru, media adviser to the Prime Minister, said a political decision has been made at the highest level in the Indian and US governments to see through the nuclear deal.
Completion of the 123 negotiations depends on Washington, he noted, implying that the US has to fulfil the commitments it made, including Bushs commitment on reprocessing.The nuclear deal, he said, is more an issue of trust between the two governments than anything else.
Ashley Tellis, a strategic expert who was part of the US team which went to New Delhi recently for the 123 talks, said the nitty-gritty of the negotiations should be completed in the next few weeks.

I guess its a good thing that I didn't promise any kind of regular update. But, progress is being made.
On the work front, I have revamped my resume and added additional tools such as networking cards, courtesy of www.Vistaprint.com. I have located several possibilities, and have reach out accordingly. In the meantime, I have actually leveraged the small network I have for the moment and have built a small army of job seekers in my name. Also, with tax season stepping into full swing, I have had no shortages of opportunities to make the most of the new year.
The health side is suffering for the moment, however. I still have not had a chance to get to the doctor about the chest pains that I was having at my last job, which is something I want to get checked out. Also, with the endless stream of open to close shift at the tax office, the Mrs. and I have not gove on our daily walks in over a week. I especially miss those. Not only was the exercise generally envigorating, but the conversations were wonderful and we have always generally considered it to be a strong bonding time for us. That, and the Red-header step child (read as puppy) could use a bit of exercise as well.
Also, I have finally managed to flesh out and create a fully functional home budget, which despite my financial education, has always been a challenge for me. But with a template used by a co-worker gave me just enough for me to use my own Excel knowledge and whip out a marvelous (if I don't say so myself) spreadsheet that will not onle make sure I stay on track but provide an excellent break-down of exactly where the money is going. Also, the creation process itself highlighted several areas that we can make adjustments and save even more.
There is more to tell, but the rest will have to make itself clear on another day. When that day will be is a mystery to us all, but know that it will come. Good night!

No New Years Resolutions!
Lots of people make New Years resolutions. Unfortunately, lots of people also forget about them by the 5th of January. Because of this reason, I am not overly fond of them. A resolution should be about a fresh start or change (which is why making them on New Years is so popular). Sadly, most do it merely as symbolic gesture rather than because they are genuinely driven to make change. After all, if the change was that important, why put it off to the beginning of the next year, when today (whenever that would be) is just as good a time to start?
For this reason, I am not making a New Year Resolution, but several Lifetime resolutions. Which go into effect TODAY!
...which just happens to be New Years Day, but we are not paying that any attention.
I am committing myself to improving my education, and will, by whatever you consider holy and high water, complete my Bachelors degree in the next 365 days.
I will improve my work environment and productivity, and will increase my yearly income by no less than $5,000.
I will improve my (currently nonexistant) fitness regime, by walking a minimum of 150 miles this year and adding in an additional fitness activity at some point (Specifics are yet to be determined).
I will improve my diet and reduce my average blood sugar by 50 points by the end of the year, possibly including a reduction in the required medicine needed to do so as well.
I will work with my better half to ensure the success of the goals we set together for her (she can post said goals if, where, and when she wishes).
That being said, there are somethings that I cannot promise.
I will not guarantee regular updates on my progress other then to note that I will be on top of my progress. I am not a good poster, so while I hope to keep this up with both my usual innanity and new motivational stuff, it is not a priority.
Happy New Year! Here's to kicking 2013 in the..... well, you know.

Even as a young girl I adored old movies. Old films showcased everything I loved: divine movie sets, glamorous movie stars wearing wonderful wardrobes and gorgeous gems.
Elizabeth Taylor and her chunky charm bracelets had me at first clink.
As did Grace Kelly's multi strand pearl bracelet with gold lockets featured in "Rear Window".
I thought that nothing could be more romantic than the bracelet Humphrey Bogart presented his young bride, Lauren Bacall, which featured a whistle charm. It was inscribed "If you want anything, just whistle" ~ a nod to their first movie together, "To Have and Have Not".
Talk about romance! I wrote about the Duchess of Windsor's charm bracelet HERE.
Another famous fashion icon (and one of my favorites) also had a charm bracelet.
John F. Kennedy was charmed by his wife Jacqueline's hard work. When he mentioned this to her she simply smiled and replied in Latin, "Labora non sumptus est," which translates to "labor is no cost." He then had a charm inscribed with the saying on one side and a tongue-in-cheek figure of Hercules on the other side.
A copy of the bracelet featuring six of Jackie's favorite charms is shown below.
As a young girl I wanted a gold charm bracelet so bad I could taste it. Not silver, never silver. Gold.
For my 13th birthday I was presented with what was referred to as "a beautiful silver charm bracelet".
I somehow mustered a polite "Thank you." as I examined the nickel finish of the boys I.D. bracelet.
I never wore the bracelet. I'm a bit stubborn that way.
I often spot celebrities wearing charm bracelets. Ashley Greene's Chanel bracelet features several lockets.
Meredith Viera never takes off the one her husband Richard gave her.
Even Betty Draper was presented with a gold charm of the Roman coliseum by Don to commemorate their trip to Italy.
My adoration flickered once again and began to reach a fevered pitch last summer when I spotted another favorite style maven sporting a charm bracelet at a tennis match.
It appeared to be a flat oval chain that held a single charm.
A few days later I spotted the bracelet again but this time the chain appeared to be a rolo style.
Hmmmm. Were two made? It appears so.
The bracelet was a wedding gift from the Duchess' mother in law.
It features Catherine's royal cypher~ a cursive "C" topped by a crown. The opposite side has Camilla's cypher~ a printed "C" surrounded by a circle and topped by a crown.
The tradition of Royal family members gifting charm bracelets goes back to Queen Victoria who presented her family with charms every New Year's Eve.
The Duchess has also been spotted wearing a Tiffany & Co. three stone sterling silver diamond by the yard bracelet that has a single disc charm.
As well as a traditional double link bracelet with a heart padlock.
A few months ago my cousin T. went to New York City to view the Elizabeth Taylor jewelry exhibition before the gems were placed upon the auction block. We burned up the phone lines as she described each of her favorite pieces in great detail.
I SO wished I could have gone with her.
For Christmas she sent me the Christie's Catalog.
Just one more reason why I love her.
I pored over that catalog from cover to cover for hours! You can keep the Elizabeth Taylor diamond. My favorite piece Liz owned was the 18th century ivory theatre token necklace that had once belonged to design great Edith Head.
The piece was estimated to sell between $1,500 and $2,000. It must have been a man doing the estimating…. it sold on December 13th for $315,000.
But my second favorite pick? A charm bracelet of course. Of the three she had, this one was my favorite. It sold for $326,500… a bit out of my price range. 🙂
What was your hearts desire as a young girl?

As a college-aged couple, we spent two nights in Amsterdam. The location of the hotel is definitely the biggest asset: every major attraction that you can think of is within a 20 minute walk of the hotel. A tram stop on the 1-2-5 route is no more than a two minute walk from the hotel, too. Based on what I was looking at the time of my booking, and what I experienced in the city, I can't imagine a more affordable hotel based on the location you are getting. The room that we had was a little small, but comfortable and quiet. Our room didn't get cleaned since we were there for only two nights, other than getting new towels dropped off. Breakfast was very good and had plenty of options. The men at the front desk were also extremely friendly and helpful in terms of providing information about getting around, free attractions, and allowing us to print tickets off. There are also a couple of cats that room the breakfast area and lobby, so it was a very nice, cozy feel.

Okay, fresh off yet another great meeting, I figure it's never too late to start planning the next one.
So, with that in mind, what are everyone's thoughts? Obviously, dates around Thanksgiving and the end of December are bad. Do you guys think November or December would be better?
Also, would a higher frequency of meeting be more beneficial for you guys (i.e. monthly)? I'm willing to put in the effort to meet more often as long as people are willing to attend. I think I speak for all those that regularly attend by saying that we get a lot of great ideas and insights from each other at these meetings- and it seems like we could go on for hours!
So anyways, let me know what you guys think for the next meeting as well as whether or not you'd like to see more meetings than once per quarter.

Yes, that was a good meeting, I wish I could have stayed longer...
Not sure about how frequent to meet...monthly might be a bit much, then again maybe not. Every other month maybe?
I am good with November or December either one...
Sep 26, 2011 at 7:21 UTC
Yeah- the more I thought about monthly, the more I realized that would be hard to keep up. I like the bi-monthly idea.
Sep 28, 2011 at 12:47 UTC
Yes, that was an excellent meeting.:->
Bi monthly is fine here also, or just quarterly......
Oct 2, 2011 at 11:01 UTC
I agree, it was a great meeting and I learn so much from them. I like bi-monthly too, because of the distance I have to travel, I would hate to miss a meeting, once a month, because I could not make the trip up there. I think November may be better, just because snow might be showing its self in Dec.
Oct 3, 2011 at 7:27 UTC
Good point Michael!
We'll shoot for November.

November would be good.
Oct 24, 2011 at 9:22 UTC
Okay- checking the calendar, how about November 19th for the next meeting?
Also, what time works for everyone?
Oct 24, 2011 at 12:11 UTC
I will plan to to attend on Nov 19th...The 1PM time seems to work out good....

Make no mistake the Civil War was absolutely about slavery. It was also largely about states rights. But the issue of states rights came up because of the argument over the outlawing of slavery. States rights was the defense used by the states which eventually made up the Confederacy.
Lincolns main goal in leading the civil war was that he was extremely dedicated to ending slavery at all costs. He was quoted to have said he didn't care if the country stayed one with legalized slavery or by abolishing it so long as the country did indeed stay together. So in short he didn't really care if there was slavery or no slavery he just wanted a united country and could've honestly cared less if people were enslaved. He told Harriet Beecher Stowe that she "made this big war" with her book Uncle Tom's Cabin because she enflamed northern abolitionism. He didn't like that.
Lincoln also did not have a grudge against the Confederacy he welcomed them back with open arms in order to make the transition back into one country easier. They were not to be punished for the war until after Lincoln's death.
Source: International Baccalaureate History of the Americas course student.
Now not that this has anything to do with the question (since slavery and racism are not the same), Lincoln didn't really end slavery, and unlike what IDIOTS HERE SAY, Lincoln NEVER made any mention about this WAR BEING ABOUT SLAVERY. He never did. That is just something idiots love to say. He never claimed it was about slavery. HE NEVER DID. Lincoln wanted to weaken the Confederate states, not anything else.
Lincoln was a proud racist for the most part who didn't think blacks were the same as whites.
By modern standards Lincoln was a racist. He openly opposed slavery often spoke of the need to end it in America. However, he also said that he did not consider black people to be equal to white people and made many other remarks that we would consider racist. That said, it is not really fair to judge a man of the eighteenth century by the standards of the twenty-first century.
God himself has made them for usefulness as slaves, and requires us to employ them as such, and if we betray our trust, and throw them off on their own resources, we reconvert them into barbarians.
Our Heavenly Father has made us to rule, and the Negroes to serve, and if we... Set aside his holy arrangements... And tamper with his laws, we shall be overthrown and eternally degraded, and perhaps made subjects of some other civilized nation....
Famous Abe Lincoln Quote:
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything."
Lincoln's only goal was to preserve the Union. In fact, in his inauguration, he stated his goal was to keep slavery as an institution in the South. He once said to a group of freed slaves that 'your people and my people are inherently different, yours is inferior to mine, and we both must accept the mutual negativity that results from the other'.
There really isn't any evidence to support this. Yes, a major issue of the civil war besides slavery was states rights, but that proves nothing. He worked to pass the 13th amendment, even negotiating its ratification with southern states that would be readmitted to the union. Enforcing fugitive slave laws is no proof. Where is the proof? With out any sources Aff arguments are invalid, and the burden of proof is on them.
This man was not a racist, after all it was he who signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all black slaves, or am I incorrect? He also lead the US in the bloodiest war in History to free the black man and reunite the Union... Unless I am wrong again? No average anti-racist would lead a war to free an entire people, would they?
Although Lincoln's main goal wasn't to abolish slavery in the Civil War, he still was against it. He thought there was no way to abolish slavery in the U.S. If you even WAS a racist, he was less racist than a lot of people, because he didn't actually own slaves while the other people and presidents did. So quit hating on one of the most famous presidents. Besides, he IS the one who signed the Emancipation Proclamation. If he was racist, he wouldn't have signed it. End of story.

This form of data has been known to corrupt good digimon and turn them evil and cruel. It is believed that the Seven Great Demon Lords' basic data is in fact Dark Data which is why they cannot be purified. Dark Data has often manifested itself throughout the Digital World's history, Dark Spores, Dark Gears and it is also believed that Dark Data is the reason why many angelic digimon fell.

489 F.2d 1402
Millard Dean CARR, Petitioner-Appellant,
W. J. ESTELLE, Director, Texas Department of Corrections,
No. 73-2890 Summary Calendar.*
*Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc.
Citizens Casualty Company of New York et al., 5 Cir 1970,
431 F.2d 409, Part I.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
March 1, 1974.
Millard Dean Carr, pro se.
John L. Hill, Atty. Gen., Austin, Tex., for respondent-appellee.
Before WISDOM, AINSWORTH and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
Carr was found guilty in a Texas state jury trial of assault with intent to rape. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed, 475 S.W.2d 755 (1972), appeal dismissed and cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1099, 93 S.Ct. 919, 34 L.Ed.2d 682. Carr appeals the district court's denial of his application for habeas corpus. The issues before us have been considered by the state court on direct appeal and in collateral proceedings. The district court had before it the trial transcript and the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals, and adopted that opinion in lieu of holding an evidentiary hearing. We have carefully reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that the issues raised are without merit.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Wake up you lazy ass."A blonde haired young man of nineteen said as he shook his dark haired lover awake.
"Nh...Naru, go back to sleep."Came the tired reply from his bed mate as he pinned the blonde under him in an attempt to get the younger to fall back into slumber.
"Sasuke..."The blue eyed Jounin whined from under the other boy. "Get off and look outside. It s so awesome. Look."
With that said, Sasuke found himself on his back, looking up at his lover. Black obsidian depths met blue ocean seas as he finally sat up. Leaving the blanket that had been covering his unclothed chest to pool at his waist. Feeling the chill of the room, Sasuke smirked as he pulled the younger and more hyperactive teen into his lap with his back pressing to his chest.
"Ah! That s cold."Naruto shivered lightly as he spoke.
Turning around, the light haired boy straddled his boyfriends lap, wrapping his arms around his shoulders. Grinning broadly, the bright eyed boy ground his hips into his counterparts own through the blanket. Eyes at half mast, his grin turned to a smirk when he heard a deep moan sound from the other Jounin.
"Dobe..."Sasuke began, but was cut off with a gasp as Naruto enclosed his lips with his own.
Tracing small circles into the Sharigan users shoulders as he slowly moved him so he was above the dark haired boy, Naruto grinned inwardly as he bit Sasuke s lower lip harshly. Slipping his tongue into the other's mouth when he gasped in surprise. Pinning Sasuke's wrists above him on the bed the fox-boy smirked lightly into the kiss. Moving one hand up to grasp hold of the silky raven locks, Naruto pulled lightly tilting Sasuke's head, deepening the kiss further. Grinding his hips into the man under him hard, he was pleased when he heard a throaty moan. Pulling back from the kiss, Naruto opened his eyes to make contact with his loves.
"Someone likes it rough. Not that I have any complaints." Naruto teased lightly as he looked into the lust filled gaze of the young man under him before leaning down to kiss him once more.
"Hn, Naruto. Wait. Stop."The Uchiha said before his lips made contact with those of the energetic shinobi.
"Huh?" Naruto asked as he leaned back a little to figure what the other was thinking.
"We can t do this now. Sakura, Lee and the others will be here in less then two hours for the party, and as much as I would love to continue this, I really don t want to listen to Their teasing tonight if we re not ready by the time they get here."He replied.
Groaning, Naruto released his love s wrists as he leaned down to lay his head against the pale mans chest. Snuggling into the warmth he provided.
"Who's idea was it to have the Christmas party at our place anyway? He complained, wrapping his arms around the mans waist as Sasuke returned the embrace.
"Yours." He reminded.
"Oh, right. Remind me next year not to volunteer."
"You never listen to me anyway, and when I tell you a flat out No you pout for a few hours, and won't let me touch you. At all."Sasuke growled the last part in agitation as he thought of how his boyfriend could be quite childish when he didn't get his way.
"Yeah, well, I'll run the shower. Get up, bastard."Naruto replied as he stood and escaped into the bathroom; Sasuke watching his lovers bare bottom all the way.
Standing after a few minutes of enjoying the warmth of the bed, Sasuke not caring to put on anything, walked nude over to the dresser. Pulling out two baggy sweatshirts, one red, and one blue, and two pair of loose black denim jeans, and two pairs of boxers. Laying them all out on top of the dresser he turned back to the bed. Shaking his head slightly as he smirked, he made his way over to the bed and started removing the sheets, soiled from the activities of the night before. Throwing the dirtied sheets into the hamper he then went around the room picking up the random articles of clothing. Shoving those too into the hamper he walked through the house into the laundry room.
After starting a load of laundry, Sasuke made his way back to his room. Finding his boyfriend out of the shower and already half dressed in his boxers and jeans. Walking up behind him, Sasuke wrapped his arms around the man. Feeling the younger lean into him, he smiled.
Two years ago. He had admitted to loving this man. Taking him into his home, his life, and his heart. He had made peace with his brother after being told the truth of what had happened that night so long ago. With Itachi settling down into a life of marriage in Kanoha their was no reason for Sasuke to force away his feeling for the blonde any longer. Having no real need nor desire for the next heir to the family blood line to come from him, he was left to choose who he wished to spend his life with. He couldn"t be happier, and he hoped Naruto felt the same way.
"Now what is it you wanted to show me?"He asked.
"Oh! Look outside. It s snowing! Isn't it pretty, Sasuke?"Naruto asked as he pointedly looked out the window and onto the powdery white streets.
"It's nice, but not as nice as what I've got right here every day."He answered with an almost tangible smirk in his voice.
"I love you too, bastard!"The blonde smiled brightly with a sense of joy he seemed to have be emanating to the world as of late.
"You seem to be really happy lately. Why?" Sasuke asked as he nipped lightly at the darkened mark he had placed on the blonde the night before.
"I'm always happy Sasuke. I'm with the person I love more then any other in this world, and that person returns my feelings. Why would you ask something like that?"Was his reply.
"Hn. It just seems your happier since a few days ago is all."He replied.
Biting his lip, the Kyuubi holder smiled as he thought of the news he was planning to tell everyone tonight. It was to be his gift to his love. For everything.
"I think you should go take your shower. Before anyone shows up. Don t need you running around with nothing on while there are guests in the house."Naruto said as he turned around in Sasuke's hold and pecked his lips softly.
"I thought you liked seeing me naked."Sasuke pouted playfully.
Laughing, Naruto pecked his lovers lips affectionately once more. He was the only one the Uchiha would show this much emotion around. With the exception of him, his brother, sister-in-law, and their son, no one knew Sasuke even had a softer side.
"I do, but I don t like others getting a view of what's mine. They already ogle you enough as it is. Besides, you're the one that wanted to be ready when they got here."
"Really? I didn t know you cared."He teased.
"Alright that's it. Get in the shower and get ready, I'll start the food. Go."Naruto said as he pushed the older man toward the bathroom, slapping his ass to show him he wasn't really annoyed.
"Come on, Lee! Sasuke and Naruto are probably waiting for us!"A nineteen year old pink-haired Chuunin called to a black hair twenty year old.
"Yes, dear. Sakura, don t you think we re a bit early. I mean we don t have to be there for another hour."The other Chuunin replied as they walked up the front stairs of the home the Jounin's lived on the Uchiha estate, both carrying an even load of presents for the others.
"Yes, but Ino, Hinata and I told Naruto that we would show up early to help cook."Sakura replied as she stopped momentarily to look behind her.
"Sakura! Lee! Hey guys!"Called the blonde haired, blue eyed Chuunin as she waived and pulled a seemingly bored Shikamaru, who was carrying most of the bags of gifts, along with her.
Following the other couple was Hinata with Neji carrying their bags of gifts for the day.
"Hi, guys. Okay Hinata, since Neji's carrying all your bags for obvious reasons, and the rest of us are swamped, you get to be the one to knock on the door."Sakura teased, causing the shy Chuunin to blush lightly.
"Okay."She said softly and moved toward the door.
Knocking three times before moving back to once again stand beside her husband, the ANBU captain observing the dust of pink across her cheeks. Not two minutes later, Naruto answered the door and motioned them in. Silently observing them as they walked passed.
Sakura had dressed in a tight periwinkle sweater, it s sleeves coming down to partially cover her fingers, and white designer jeans. Her bubble gum pink hair that had grown back out over the years, pulled back into a high pony tail that came down in jagged cuts, to the base of her neck. Sakura had taken a liking to the look of her hair being cut with a kunai since the first Chuunin exams. Naruto didn t blame her. The look was good on her, with her green eyes sparkling with a happiness that Naruto now knew he would never have been able to make her feel..
Lee had worn a pair of blue jeans with a green sweater. He had allowed his greasy black hair to grow out, and was currently braided down to his mid-back. The old elastic suit gone with the days of his Genin years, or so he said. Though Naruto half suspected the man still had it hidden somewhere. Away from where Sakura could get to it and throw it away like she had with most of them when they had first got together three in a half years ago.
Ino had dressed beautifully in a silver sweater with a floral embroidery on the sleeve near the wrist, and a pair of black slacks that hung low on her hips. Her blue eyes shone with a giddiness she seemed to exuberate at the time of year, as Naruto had noticed from the years before. He blonde hair hung down to her shoulders. Her bangs held back by a silver clip. She smile to him as she tugged her lazy boyfriend through the door.
Shikamaru had dressed simply in blue jeans and a black sweatshirt. The Jounin had kept his hair at the same length, and the same style as he always had. He was still the same lazy ass cloud watcher he always was, and Naruto didn't think he d really ever change. Though, with a girl like Ino as a girlfriend, anything could happen.
Hinata, who was six months pregnant, had worn baggy blue maternity overalls with a black sweater under it. She had allowed her hair to grow down to her mid back, and currently left it loose to fall where it may upon her shoulders. Since her marriage to her cousin that hand be arranged by her clan elders, the young Hyuuga had taken to being a stay at home wife, and helped out at the hospital when she could.
Neji dressed in black sweats and a off-white sweatshirt. His long black hair fell down to the mid of his calf, and Naruto wondered how his long hair didn t get in the way of his fighting. The Hyuuga had worked his way up in ranks, and was currently on of the fifteen ANBU captains, Itachi being another.
"Hey, Naruto. Where's Sasuke?"Lee asked as the blonde man closed the door behind them and the six of them took off there shoes in the foyer.
"Uh, he s still in the shower. Should be out soon. I was just gonna get started on the food."Was the reply.
"Good. We made it just at the right time then."Sakura said as the three girls made their way to the kitchen. "Come on, Naruto. Let's get started. I wanna have most of it done by the time the others get here."
"Agreed."Hinata said and followed.
"I'll be there in a few minutes. Sakura knows where everything is. Obviously."Naruto mumbled the last part to himself, but had been heard by the other men.
"Oh, come on Naruto. She's not that bad."Lee chuckled as the four of them made their way into the main room.
"Not that bad? Lee, this is the girl that the day after you started dating, went through your house throwing away more then half your clothes and a bunch of other things. How can you say she s not that bad?"Naruto said, catching a slight smirk on the lips of both Neji and Shikamaru, who chose to stay quiet.
At Lee's stuttering response, Shikamaru walked toward the sofa mumbling something like "So troublesome."as he sat and seemed to attempt going back to sleep.
"You better get in there, Naruto. Hinata and the others are waiting."Neji spoke as he and Lee settled into a seat.
"Yeah, well their gonna have to wait a little longer. I'm gonna make sure Sasuke-bastard is ready. Naruto said as he made his way to the bedroom.
"Don't do anything we wouldn't."Neji said as he watched the man walk down the hall.
Since that time after the Chuunin exams, Naruto, Chouji, Neji, Shikamaru and Kiba had become closer and considered each other good friends. Naruto had managed to make the other four a little more open to express themselves, Chouji had give them a lesson in self-confidence, Shikamaru had rubbed off his laid back attitude a bit, Kiba had a lesson of teamwork, and Neji had managed to rub off some of his no-nonsense attitude on the group. If the five of them were a team of ANBU on an important mission, there was no doubt in even the Hokage s mind that they would pull it off with little to no trouble.
A while later, with Sasuke in the main room with the other three, Naruto could be found in the kitchen with the girls. The veggie dishes prepared, and everything else well on the way. Laying the ready dishes on the isle where they would be served, Hinata moved to sit as did Sakura and Ino. Looking to Naruto, Sakura motioned to the seat next to her. Giving the pink haired women a questioning look as he sat, Naruto looked to the other two.
"What is it?"he asked.
"So has he asked you yet?"Ino questioned.
"Asked me what?"The man asked somewhat puzzled.
"What else? To take his name!"Sakura stated happily at the thought of her two friends being happy with each other for the rest of the lives.
"Is that what this is about?" Naruto yipped, almost falling out of his chair.
"Yup!"Hinata said as she rubbed her round stomach and smiled brightly.
"No. He hasn't." Naruto answered as he looked away, causing the girls to frown slightly.
"But you want him to, right?"Sakura stated in fact.
"Of coarse. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but we don t really have to be bonded that way to do that."Naruto replied, still looking away for the girls and out the window.
Everything was quiet for a few minutes before Hinata spoke up in a soft and soothing tone of voice. She could tell her former crush was saddened by what he had said.
"Yeah you could, but you know, it's the most wonderful thing to know that he'll never leave you. To know that he's made that commitment to be with you until death, and have it known not just to yourselves, but to everyone around."She said as she looked to her friend with the softest eyes.
"Yeah, I suppose your right Hinata, but I don't see the ice prince doing any such thing."Naruto replied with a smile as he looked to the girls around him.
"Okay, let's change topic. Today is a happy day, and I'll be damned if it isn't"Ino said as she tried to lighten up the mood.
"Yeah, your right Ino. All that left is the ham. It'll take awhile so let s all go out to our men. Kami only knows if their even communicating."Sakura said as they all got up to go into the main room.
"Uchiha."Neji stated into the silence of the room causing the other three men to look up at him.
"What?"Sasuke asked as he looked to the other two.
'What is this about?'He thought as he seen both Lee and Shikamaru shifted toward the two dark haired shinobi.
"This is so troublesome."Shikamaru muttered, earning a glare from Neji and Lee.
"Shut up, Shikamaru."Lee said and turned back to face Sasuke.
"Have you asked Naruto to share your name?"Neji asked as the other two went silent, already knowing what this had been about.
The question sent Sasuke reeling. Why would they care if he had asked the blonde that? Sure, he knew they were friends, but why would they...the women. They must have put their men up to this.
"Is this a question coming from you, Hyuuga, or your wife?"Sasuke asked as he leaned back his chair by the fireplace.
"All six of us, and we're not the only ones. Kiba and Chouji too. Heck, even all our sensei's want to know."Lee replied for him.
"Naruto is a good friend to us all, and we want to make sure he will be happy and looked after. It s troublesome, but he deserves all he can get."Shikamaru continued.
"That whiskered baka in there has changed all our lives. We owe him for that. You most of all. Loving him won t be good enough forever, not without commitment."Neji finished.
When Sasuke didn t answer, the three of them turned to the doorway where Naruto, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura were about to enter.
"Think it over, Uchiha."Neji stated seriously.
"I will." Sasuke replied for Neji, Shikamaru, and Lee to hear.
When Naruto and the women came out of the kitchen, each moved to their perspective man. Sakura taking a seat on the floor next to Lees' legs, Ino opposite her next to Shikamaru, Hinata padded over to Neji to sit next to him, and Naruto seated himself on the armrest of Sasuke's chair; yipping when the dark hair man pulled him onto his lap in a slight possessive manner instead. Causing the women the smile and chuckle while the men smirked.
"What's left?" Lee asked.
"The ham. It should be done in another few hours or so." Ino replied.
"Itachi, Kaname, and Arasu should be hear soon. Kiba and Shino said they had a few things to do first, and TenTen and Chouji will be here whenever. Said something about cooking up some of the Akamichi specialties to bring over." Naruto provided.
"Yum, Chouji's family recipe's. Delicious." Ino smiled.
"Well, let s put the gifts under the tree. Other wise Arasu may get into them."Naruto stated as he thought of the toddler that was in his terrible twos with a fond smile.
"Good idea."Sakura nodded in confirmation and moved to grab the gifts from her and Lee when the doorbell rang.
Jumping to get the door, Naruto landed back in his boyfriends lap. Trying to get up again, he found Sasuke had a steal like grip around his waist.
"Sasuke-bastard. Let me up. It's probably your brother."Naruto said as he tried to get up again only to be met with the same result.
"So?" Was his only reply.
Heaving a sigh at his predicament, Naruto turned to the others.
"Can someone get the door?"He mumbled at seeing their amusement in their eyes.
"Shika, get the door. I ll get the gifts under the tree." Ino said and turned to grab the bags.
"Hinata, you don t get up girl. Neji can take your bags. You just rest there."Sakura said as Shikamaru groaned and got up to answer the door, Neji, Ino, and herself moved to put all the things they brought under the tree, and Naruto glared at his captor who only smirked in return.
Not two minutes later the giggle and running footsteps of a two year old could be heard. Followed by the voices of Itachi, Kaname, and Shikamaru as they walk behind the child. Dashing into the room, a two year old with his fathers black hair and mothers brown eyes run straight for the chair where Sasuke and Naruto sat. They had dressed the boy in black sweat pants, and a pastel blue sweater.
"Uncle Sake! Uncle Narto!"Arasu giggled with joy when Naruto picked the child up and placed him on his lap, and indirectly Sasuke's as well.
"Hey, Arasu. What's up buddy?"Naruto asked as he hugged the boy and watched the others take a seat.
Itachi had worn a dark blue sweatshirt and black jeans much like Sasuke's. His long black hair pulled back into a low ponytail that reached mid-back. His black eyes without the activation of sharigan were as sharp as ever as he smirked at the blonde on his brothers lap.
"He wouldn't let you up to answer the door again?"Itachi asked already knowing the answer.
The cold and merciless killer was gone when not on duty as an ANBU captain. He had changed and filled out the role as husband to Kaname, and father to Arasu. Making a vow to not be the kind of father he and Sasuke had.
"Oh, Itachi. Don't tease poor Naruto again. It's not his fault."Kaname spoke up from next to him.
Kaname was only two years younger then Itachi, and had a darker skin tone much in the same comparison as Naruto's and Sasuke's was. She had worn tight black jeans and a loose fitting floral green sweatshirt. Her dark blue-black hair pulled into a ponytail that ended just below her shoulder with a few strands escaping the hair tie and into her brown eyes.
"I would say it is. He knew how my dear brother would be even before they got together, yet he still pouts about it."The elder Uchiha brother stated, casing the girls to erupt in laughter, the guys to smile slightly, and his brother to smirk devilishly.
"Your not being very nice Itachi."Naruto pouted all the more causing the previous responses from his friend increase two fold, and Arasu to giggle at the look on his beloved uncle's face.
"Oh, where do you guys want these anyway?"Kaname asked with a gesture to the bags at her feet.
"Just put them under the tree for later. We're still waiting for Kiba, Shino, TenTen, and Chouji before we eat. That reminds me. I ll be right back. Ino, come with me to check the ham."Sakura said as she stood with Ino and made her way to the kitchen.
The room was filled with pleasant conversation for the next few hours as they waited for the others. Lee stood when the doorbell rang and moved to answer it before he stopped and looked back to the Kyuubi holder who was still pinned into his boyfriends lap and couldn't resist one last tease.
"I guess I'll get it since our hosts are currently occupied."He stated in a teasing tone with a grin and walked away from a frustrated Naruto who was trying to take off after him with no success in escaping Sasuke's grasp.
"Hey guys, we're here." TenTen spoke as she walked into the room.
TenTen had chose white lounge pants and a loose white sweater. Her black hair ran down her back and moved with her as she walked.
Following her was he boyfriend Chouji who had dressed in black pants and a red and green sweater. His hair held back by a bandana as he carried the bags they had brought.
"Look who we found on the way." Chouji said and motioned behind him as he made his way to the tree to put their things among the rest.
Kiba and Shino walked in with Akamaru behind Lee after removing their shoes.
"Hey all!"Kiba greeted as he and his boyfriend walked in.
Kiba and Shino, like Shikamaru, had not changed their styles over the last few years. The only difference now was that Akamaru was not perched atop Kiba's head, as the little pup had grown to a dog, and walked alongside instead.
Both Kiba and Shino wore black jeans, but while Kiba wore a red sweater, Shino wore black.
"Hey guys. Good. Just in time. The ham's done and everything's all ready. Put the bags by the tree and we'll all go eat." Ino said as she walked out of the kitchen.
After dinner the group returned to the main room once again with smiles of satisfaction gracing most of their features.
"Yum! Oh, that was so good. I don t think I'll be able to eat for another few days."Ino moaned, plopping down onto one of the love seats beside Shikamaru.
"I agree. Man Chouji, your families recipes are to die for!"Sakura complimented from her spot on the floor in Lee's lap, earning a groan of agreement from the others, and a smile from Chouji.
"I'm glad you all think so."He said.
"Sasuke. Naruto. Do you think we could put Arasu in your room until we leave. He must have fallen asleep from all the excitement."Kaname asked from her spot beside Itachi who held the toddler.
"Of course. Let me just put some sheets on since Sasuke did laundry this morning."Naruto replied softly as he padded to the bedroom to do so.
"Just go on and take him back there big brother. Then when you get back we'll open gifts. It's starting to get late."Sasuke stated once Naruto had been gone a few minutes.
Conversation continued normally until both Naruto and Itachi had returned to the room. Itachi once again taking a seat beside Kaname, and Naruto on the floor by Sasuke's legs.
"Okay. Let's start. Naruto grab one from under the tree."Kiba said as he thought of the reactions some would get from his gifts.
"Alright." Naruto said, and reaching under the tree pulled out a small palm sized box wrapped in a pink wrapping. "To Sakura. From Lee."
At his words everyone seemed to turn toward Sakura as she took the small box and begun to open it. Revealing a small velvet green ring box. Tears came to the Chuunin's eyes as she opened it to reveal a diamond engagement ring witch Lee took from her fingers gently as he spoke.
"Haruno Sakura. I would be the luckiest man on earth if you would here today, take this ring in front of our friends, and wear it as a sign of our love. A sign of the love I have, and will always have for you. Sakura. Dear. Will you marry me?"
"I...Well I...Y-yes. Yes. I will!"She replied as he smiled, slipping the ring onto her left ring finger before she enveloped him in a tight hug.
Cries of happiness from the girls met everyone ears as they congratulated the couple, and the men did so in a more quite manner. Smiling in happiness for his two friends, Naruto spoke loudly as he grinned.
"Way to go eyebrows! Didn't think ya had it in ya!"He said, causing Sakura to turn on him.
"You mean you knew!"She gasped.
"Yes. Why do you think is was the first box I picked up. I found out he was gonna ask you a few days ago, and told him he could do it today since it would probably mean a lot to you to have the girls around."He explained making her smile.
"Thanks Naruto. It does mean a lot."She replied before leaning into her new fiancee.
"Alright. Enough with the mushy stuff!"Kiba said making the others smile and Shino to pull him toward him and bop him on the head.
"Be quiet and let them get on with it."He said causing Kiba to huff and slap Shino's curved wrist around his waist.
Chuckling, Naruto reached for the next gift...
(Fast forward a bit cause it would take too long for all of them.)
After all the gifts had been given, and everyone was about to stand to get ready to leave, Naruto called back to their attention.
"Ano, please sit back down. All of you. I have some thing I would like to get out..."He stated softly.
Sensing the importance of what he had to say all those standing were seated once more.
"What is it, Dobe?"Sasuke asked as he made eye contact with his boyfriend.
"I...I wanted to tell you all tonight because it is my present to Sasuke. You all know of the demon I hold inside of me, and well, I wouldn't really be surprised if this scares a few of you. Heh, It scared me when I found out about a week ago. The Kyuubi...did something to me. He..."Naruto no longer could find the words as he tried to speak.
"He did what, Naruto?"Kaname asked in a worried tone.
"He...changed me. Well, not changed, but made my body able to carry a child. Sasuke, I m pregnant."He finally said.
"Wha...How..."The Uchiha, for the first time is years was left speechless.
"Naruto, that's wonderful!"Ino said as she and the girls started to hover around the man.
"It looks like I will be an uncle after all."Itachi stated as he looked to his brother to see what his reaction to the news of his own child would be.
"Now both Hinata's and your baby can grow up together. This is so cool!"TenTen said as she placed herself beside him.
"I'll go and talk to Tsunade-Sama in a few days and see how this can work out."Sakura said as she hugged the blue eyed shinobi.
"Isn't it wonderful, Neji. Now they can a family!"Hinata said softly as she looked to her husband.
When he didn t answer her, she turned her attention to the Uchiha that seemed to have caught his gaze. Noticing too, that they weren't the only ones with their eyes on the Jounin. Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, Itachi, Kaname, Chouji, Lee and Naruto also directed their eyes on him. Trying to see what his reaction would be as he seemed to sit there with a blank look on his face. Soon, the rest of the girls also turned to look at him.
Noticing all the pairs of eyes on him, Sasuke stood and headed toward the bedroom. With a light explanation of "I have to think."as he walked away.
"Sasuke..."Naruto said softly as he watched him go.
The room was silent for a moment before Naruto went to stand only to have Itachi stop him. At the motion for him to sit back down, Naruto couldn't help but notice the slight smoldering in the mans eyes.
"You sit back down. I shall speak to him. It is of no fault of your own. He just never expected hear that bit of news. I shall be back in a few minutes. It is getting late, and I should think everyone should be getting home soon. Until next time."He said as he made a slight nodding motion to everyone in the room before going to speak with his younger sibling.
"Don't worry, it was probably only the shock. Some men go through it."Kaname said softly as she patted his hand.
"She's right. Neji left for the whole night before coming back and apologizing for leaving like he did."Hinata said softly with her husband nodding in confirmation from beside her.
"Everything with work itself out. Just give him some time."Sakura said as she hugged her friend close in a comforting gesture.
"A baby? I m gonna be a father, but...I can't."
"I'm not ready. I can't even make a serious commitment to the man I love, much less a child."Thoughts were whirring thought his mind with such ferocity he couldn't sort one from the other as he looked to the bed where his nephew lay.
Walking over to kneel beside him, he brushed a stray lock of hair from the child s face. He loved and cared for this boy. His brothers son. His own child? Someone for him to watch as they grow, and be a main piece to their life. To watch as they mature. Someone more to love, and be loved in return.
"I don't know if I can be a father."He stated softly when he heard Itachi enter the room as his gaze never wavered from the toddler upon his and Naruto's bed.
"It's not something you can or can't do. At this point you will be a father, and you will watch that child grow. Teach it right and wrong. Teach them the Katon Goukakyuu No Jutsu, and more. The child will look up to you, and you will be there to look after him or her as they grow."Itachi replied as he moved to the other side of the bed and stood looking down at his own son.
"I don't know how. I never thought..."Sasuke started to say, but was cut off by the elder Uchiha.
"You never thought that just because you were with Naruto, you would ever have children, but you did not take into concept the Kyuubi upon which he holds."Itachi finished for him.
"No, I didn't."Sasuke admitted.
"And, now that you find you have a kid on the way you turn tail and leave the man you claim to love thinking that you don't want the child. You hurt him more then you know by your act of walking away out there."Itachi continued.
"I didn t mean..."
"I know you didn't, but he doesn't know that. He thinks a child is good, and I'll be damned if my brother walks out on this responsibility."Itachi said as he lifted Arasu out of the bed and walked to the door.
When Sasuke said nothing and lowered his head slightly, Itachi looked back at him.
"Don't hurt him again. You did that enough already. I am not saying this out of responsibility. I am saying this as your brother. Now, pick yourself up and take responsibility for yourself and what is yours. I'm tired of doing it for you."And with that he was gone.
Leaving Sasuke to his thoughts.
Not too long after !
Naruto walked meekly into the room he and Sasuke shared. Not a word was exchanged among the two as they methodically get ready for bed. Both slipping on pajama pants. Naruto's orange with little Uzumaki spirals, and Sasuke's black with the red and white Uchiha fan displayed proudly on his right thigh.
Pulling aside the blankets and lying down, Naruto was surprised when Sasuke's hand stopped him from pulling the covers over him. Looking up to Sasuke for reassurance he found his love to be slightly smiling at him.
"Can I?"Sasuke asked with a glance to the blonde s stomach.
At this, Naruto smiled brilliantly. Sasuke was asking to...but did he want this baby as much as Naruto did? What if he didn't? What if Sasuke rejected the child? These fears ran through Naruto's head for the thousandth time that week.
Nodding in affirmative he watched as the dark haired Jounin ran first his fingertips over his stomach. Sasuke smiled slightly at Naruto's reaction as he giggled from the ticklish feeling.
Placing his hand palm down just below the Kyuubi s seal, Sasuke left it there for a few minutes, as if trying to determine if Naruto had been lying or not. After those few nervous minutes had passed for the Kyuubi holder he felt the hand being removed and the bed shifting beside him.
Looking over to Sasuke, Naruto was shocked as he watched the elder man lean down to put his cheek to his stomach and nuzzle the Kyuubi's seal.
"Wha. Sasuke! What?"Naruto exclaimed in shock as he felt his boyfriend kiss his stomach before moving back up and kissing him to the lips.
When the Uchiha pulled back, Naruto was once more left at a lose for words. In his dark haired lovers eyes were the evidence of tears. Though they never left his eyes they were there.
"I m sorry I left you in front of the others like that. I just didn't know what to do. A child? I don t know..."Sasuke started to say.
"You...you don't want this baby?"Naruto asked timidly as he spoke his greatest fear aloud.
"What? No..."Sasuke said, but before he could finish finding his words completely, Naruto turned around and presented him with his back.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you with this then. I'll leave to-""
"What! No you will not."Sasuke stated and turned Naruto around roughly by his shoulder.
At The smoldering in the man's eyes, along with the faint traces of red, Naruto knew that he had angered him.
"You will not be going anywhere Naruto. I told you before. Two years ago, I told you. I told you that I love you. Do you remember? I told you I love you, and I wouldn't let you go once you were mine. You said you would be mine. Your not leaving Naruto!"Sasuke growled as more red bled into his eyes.
"I know. I remember, but if you don't want..." Sasuke had cut him off before he could even finish with a possessive kiss.
"Mine."He growled before bitting the blonde's lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
When Naruto opened his mouth in surprise at the sudden pain Sasuke used this to his advantage as he pushed his sleek moist muscle between the blondes lips. Dominating his mouth in every sense he could.
When he pulled away, Naruto could see most of the red had faded from his eyes. Panting in the tense silence was all that could be heard as he tried to regain his breath from his loves not so subtle possessive ways. He knew what the other was waiting for, but he first would have to catch his breath if he didn't want to suffocate in the advent of more happening.
"Yours."He agreed. "Only yours."
Nuzzling his love beneath him as he spoke, Sasuke placed kisses along the man's collarbone.
"I am not saying I don't want this child. I do, in fact. For there is..."Sasuke stopped speaking as he seemed lost in thought.
'Remember always that; that is the greatest gift...'A whisper of the past rang through his mind.
"Sasuke? What is it? Why did you stop talking? Something wrong?"Naruto asked as he settled in for bed, content with the fact that he knew his lover wanted the babe as well, and pulled the covers over the both of them.
"Oh,"Sasuke replied as he too settled for bed, wrapping his arms around his Naruto before letting his palm rest back on the blue eyed man stomach. "...Just something my mother told me when I was a kid." Sasuke replied.
"Really? What is it?"Naruto asked as he felt his eyes growing heavy.
"The greatest gift that there is."Sasuke said, kissing his forehead before resting back into the pillow.
"She always used to say that there is no greater gift, then a child born of love."
Well that s it. What do you think? I wanted to make an Mpreg because I love it, and this coupling is the best ever for yoai! SasuNaru! Yay! Well, anyway. Like it. Hate it. Tell me. Oh, and even if it s a bit belated or not.
Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule or whatever it is you celebrate this winter season.

Teen Disco (No oldcels allowed)
09-14-2015, 02:00 PM (This post was last modified: 09-14-2015, 02:02 PM by dummy_pasto.)
Without knowing the location of this club they all look IRISH AS FUCK (except the blacky of course. )
Reminder: all these teenage sluts are currently being pounded hard by the top twenty percent of "cutest" boys in these pictures. Their titties are getting sucked, their asses groped, and their pussies creampied to create the next generation of young skanks for Achmeds enjoyment.

If you believe nightclub photos you'd believe they're full of hot girls every night. In reality they usually have 10 hot girls in the entire club and every other girl is subhuman.
Good luck getting one of those 10.

Teenage boys look awkward as fuck, girls look good.
Hoalieshitt. That girl with the huge tits makes me want to drink sulphuric acid.
How am I supposed to live on knowing that I'll never have a girl like even the ugliest girl in the above pics?
just lol @ my existence.
just lol
How can any incel look at these pics and not want to kill themselves? At any given moment hot teens like this are having sex with the top 20% of male teens.

Yeah, usually 60/40 men/women if we're not exaggerating. 65/35 at worse.
Nightclub photos are how nightclubs make money. They are cherrypicked to the extreme. If you look at some club pictures from some nights, you'll see the same girl/girls multiple times, because those are the only hot girls the photographer could find and they need to post enough photos for the site to make it look like it's happening.
Nightclubs are depressing as fuck. If every girl looked like that, they'd be paradise, because even an incel might stand a chance at the numbers game. IRL, practically everyone's ugly and miserable and it's just a sea of sweaty mutual disappointment and disgust.
Also these photos look better than most clubs because everyone's still teenage and they haven't gotten fat/bald/wrinkly/saggy yet.

She's obese. Not my type.
Also notice how they put her in 3 of the pictures you posted? Common night club photo approach to make the clientelle look better. That's what I'm talking about.

Probably better for oldcels if I'm honest. I walked passed a school today and the 15 year old girls were so fucking hot. Asses were so tight and their skin was like silk. Luckily I never have to see them again. I'll walk the long way round next time to avoid where they congregate. Can you imagine a young incel having to be around those insanely ripe girls knowing he has a 0% chance of putting his dick inside them? That's the definition of sheer torture.

It varies. Often the tits sag like crazy because they deflate like balloons. 15 pounds isn't that much though. Also, there will still be giant tits, they'll just be saggier. She'll need a breast lift. With a good weight loss and subsequent tasteful breast lift she could have god tier tits.
I could do a threesome with them
Most of the people in those pics look 16 or 17
The ones I used to go to had 12 year olds at them
I remember going to one a week after I turned 16 so I would have been one of the more developed guys at it, was about 5'10 and I had 14 & 15 year old girls asking me to make out with them or their friends.
I never got to fuck a 15 year old but at least I got squeeze their ass cheeks while making out with them, I really regret not fingering a girl though, a lot of guys used to do that at discos
I just can't recapture that excitement I used to get going to teen discos, it was definitely because of the innocence of the girls there. They hadn't yet realized their vvalue and didn't have the same sense of entitlement as the girls in nightclubs have.
It was a level playing field back then because guys had lower sex drive and weren't willing to WK the girls
Tfw surrounded by girls thats look like this + MUCH MUCH hotter ones on a day-lee basis
I wonder how some of these girls' incel fathers feel seeing their daughters going off with their hot fertile friends and dancing around in bras for teen Chads.
