Chapter 10: The White Lotus Gambit, Pt. 3
Two Minutes Prior
Jing took a step backward as Karuta approached. "Stay back! I won't do this again; I can't forget them again!"
"You are a shortsighted human, though I suppose that is a redundant statement," Karuta replied. "I will kill him, and then you can be free."
"Wait..." Jing held up his hands. "What are you saying? You'll leave me alone, change me back to normal?"
"I can do the former, if you'll let me use you as a weapon willingly."
A mirthless chuckle escaped Jing's lips. "You ask that like it's an easy thing for me to agree to."
"What more would I have to promise you?"
He pursed his lips. "If Lyre asks for me, you have to let me speak. I'm not going to hurt her again if I can help it."
Karuta nodded. "Acceptable." He held out a hand. "Now, shall we take on Izanagi?"
Hizumi's hands twitched with anticipation and fear as she walked beside Shingen. Something still wasn't right, but she couldn't tell if he was the cause. They approached the end of the hallway from his office, and she kept her right hand pressed against the folded fan on her hip.
Unfortunately, she didn't have long to consider the possibilities, as a heavy wave of spiritual energy drove both of them to their knees.
"What is that?!" Shingen hissed. "I can't—"
"It is what it feels like to watch an era die, Councilman," Lin Quei said as he passed by them, a sardonic grin on his face. "A pity I couldn't have ended all of this sooner."
The councilman and the Grand Lotus both looked up at the spirit as they stood shakily, but as he stepped forward, they both noticed one thing.
Yoriko was glaring at them, and her eyes burned with an orange light. With a wave of her hand, she let loose a gust that launched both of them halfway down the hall. By the time both of them recovered, Lin Quei and Yoriko were gone.
The Waterbender frowned as she brought up three more water tentacles, the ends frozen into spikes. It was more accurate to say that they looked more like the legs of a spider than tentacles, but the particulars were a distraction.
She alternated thrusting her arms forward while using two fingers to control each individual tendril, which all converged on Izanagi. The spirit lurched backward as ice spikes drove through his chest again and again. Even as he regained his footing, he could feel two of the tendrils twist in his midsection. Once they had dug in, his eyes met the Waterbender's; she smiled.
Lyre pulled both of her arms back to her waist and swung them widely to her left, causing Izanagi to be dragged by the ice spikes in his chest. She pulled the tendrils around until he slammed against the stone steps of City Hall.
As she pulled them back, Izanagi stood and brushed himself off with his good hand. "Get it through your heads: I'm not here for the Avatar this time, and I'm impossible to kill. I am sick of this."
"I...think I did a pretty damn good job," Yari sputtered as he pushed himself to his knees. "Your hand still hasn't grown back."
The spirit kept an eye on the Waterbender, who had knelt beside Karuta, but most of his attention was on the old man. "That is due solely to your sword, not your skill. You are all good at what you do, but I am the Spirit of Chaos. You had no chance against me; neither did Argho." He turned away from them. "Now, let me take what is mine."
Fire ripped the doors to City Hall off of their hinges. That caught Izanagi's attention, and it was enough.
The spirit felt a burning pain erupt in his chest; he looked down to see the old man's sword sticking through. His eyes widened, and he noticed the audible cries of triumph from the other humans.
"Gotcha, you son of a gun." Yari whispered. "Finally..."
Grim laughter cut through the flames that grew in the threshold of the door, and everyone's attention was drawn to the top of the stairs, where a man in purple armor stood over Hizumi and Shingen.
And the Avatar was by his side.
Yoriko was surrounded by darkness. She glanced around, trying desperately to peer through the emptiness, but the darkness was ever-present.
At least until their eyes snapped open. Her own eyes widened as what seemed like hundreds of glowing blue eyes surrounded her, and once her vision had grown accustomed to the darkness, she noticed their bodies as well. She was surrounded by people!
For reasons she could not begin to fathom, the blue glow began to change, becoming orange as it moved down the line from the top. It spread quickly, and she began to hear the screaming voices that followed.
Burn it to the ground!
It hurts; make it stop!
Kill it! End it!
Destroy everything!
They pierced into her mind, the screams of the enraged, and as more eyes changed, more screams came.
All is chaos!
End this existence of ours!
The screams brought her to her knees; she couldn't even look at the eyes anymore. They made her sick, and their cries caused her to shake uncontrollably.
"Please..." she pleaded,"...just leave me alone..."
Everything burns, little one.
Fire erupted from Yoriko's outstretched hands, and Lyre rushed toward Yari, who was just behind Izanagi, the intended target. She reached him, tackling him to the ground and pulling up an ice wall as a wave of fire washed over Izanagi.
"Is this your best, Lin Quei?" The Waterbender looked past her makeshift barrier as Izanagi spoke. Flames roared around his feet, and the burns healed almost instantly. "Controlling the Avatar like this...is that all you can muster with my title?"
Yari pushed himself up off of the ground and grunted. "Ugh...warn me next time..."
"Now is not the—"
"What the hell's going on here," the swordsman asked. "Why is the Avatar—?"
Lin Quei took a step forward. "She is the Avatar of Chaos, now, Swordsman. With Izanagi's title, I am so much more than I once was, and now, so is she."
"The Avatar of Chaos...?" Shingen approached slowly from behind, along with Hizumi. "What have you done with Varro?"
"How cute," Lin Quei said, "I am, and have always been, Varro. He was merely a part I played, and I was prepared to play it until the Avatar showed up in Republic City. It didn't really matter when she came; I was prepared to play this out."
Shingen frowned. "But I led her right to you..."
The Spirit of Chaos smiled and pulled a rolled up piece of paper from his belt, all while the Avatar stood with her eyes still glowing.
Hizumi's eyes narrowed. "Argho's will..."
"You know, Councilman...you should consider changing your name to Pai Sho, because that's how easy it is to play you."
"Pai Sho," Izanagi began, "from what I understand is not a game for children."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Quei asked.
"So why would you play it?" Izanagi replied as he gripped the blade in his chest and pushed it backward. As it clattered to the ground, he took a step forward. "You are nothing but a child to me, and your scheme reeks of desperation."
"It would only be desperate if I hadn't already won."
Izanagi sighed. "I was like you, naïve. I didn't understand much of anything, including how things work. The balance? I had no clue what it was; my games with Order were just that. Games. And now, you play the same—"
"You think this can be reversed?" Lin Quei asked. "Really? No, she is mine, and you can't do a damned thing!"
Hizumi's eyes widened. "No..."
Yari cocked his head. "What have you done?" His own eyes widened. "What have you done?!"
Though she stood stock still, Yoriko's orange eyes narrowed as she stared at Izanagi.
Here is the one who murdered your parents in cold blood!
Will you just let him walk away?
The screams and petitions still assaulted Yoriko from the darkness. Orange eyes surrounded her; all but one pair were now changed.
"...wake up!"
She jumped, startled by the new voice. This one was much closer, much kinder, than the others.
"Who...who's there?"
"You have to wake up, Yoriko," the voice came from the one pair of eyes that still glowed blue, and soon enough, a large form appeared through the void.
The Avatar's eyes widened as a man came out of the darkness, and he knelt down next to her.
"Who...who are you?"
"I am your predecessor; my name is Argho. We don't have much time."
She glanced around at the encroaching darkness. "Time for what? What's happening?"
Argho sighed. "Lin Quei...he did something profane. He is cutting you and Avatar State off from us. He is removing the limiters so that he can control you, and I am almost out of time. Soon, I won't even be able to help you."
Yoriko shook and shivered as the voices continued to scream around them. "What...what do I do? I don't wanna die..."
For a moment, she thought she noticed tears forming in Argho's eyes, but he immediately drew her attention to other things.
"You have to ignore the screams. If you want to wake up, you have to follow me where I go. But..."
"What? What's wrong?"
He grimaced. "I will only be able to do this once. If you cannot control yourself—if you go into the Avatar State again—you may never come back out." Argho held out his hand. "Now, you must take my hand. Quickly!"
She glanced at it for a moment, but as the darkness moved in, she gripped his hand tightly.
"Please...get me home..."
Lyre would've been happy that Jing was sitting up, was moving, if it wasn't for the fact that another spirit had done something to Yoriko.
"What...what's going on? Is Izanagi—?"
"Yari got him," Lyre replied, "but he's still standing. We have a bigger problem, at the moment."
"What are you...?" His gaze fell on Yoriko, and his demeanor changed in an instant. "...no."
"She's gotta still be in there, right?"
"That fool...he thinks he knows best," Karuta said. "All these young spirits thinking they know what chaos is..."
"Since you're here," Lyre began, "what exactly is going on? Is Yoriko—?"
"She is no longer a force for balance..." The armored spirit stood slowly, favoring his left side. "The end of an era is upon all of you...on us."
He took a step forward kicking up his blade as he lifted his right foot and catching it. As Karuta moved toward Yoriko, Lyre gritted her teeth.
"What're you going to do?" she whispered.
"The only thing I can. Both worlds stand to lose something if this new Spirit of Chaos takes control."
"And what will you do, any of you?" Lin Quei smiled as Karuta stopped moving. "Kill the girl? End the cycle forever? No. You will do nothing but stand and watch as I use the Avatar to end Izanagi." His smile faded. "It's a win-win, really. He dies, like you all wanted, and I no longer have a rival for the power I command."
Izanagi began to laugh. It started as a chuckle, but quickly developed into a loud, long laugh. Lin Quei frowned.
"Why are you laughing?" he asked.
"That's it? That's your best? You have my title, and all you can do with the power it gives is this?!" Izanagi grinned. "You truly are a weak one."
In an instant, the orange glow faded from Yoriko's eyes. She dropped to her knees, eyes wide, and sat motionless before the two spirits.
Lin Quei glanced at the Avatar, and his face turned white with horror. "No..."
He lifted his hand, and black spikes sprouted from his fingertips. Before he could thrust his hand forward once more, a crack rang out, followed by two more. Three bullets tore three holes in his body. One ripped through his hand, one shredded his right knee, and the last punctured his skull, leaving him to tumble down the steps.
When his head wound healed, he stared up into the night sky, but his view was soon blocked by another.
"Hello, my name is Izanagi, and I am finally going to take what's mine."
Sukan stumbled down the hall. Her side burned, and she gingerly pressed her free hand against the ribs on her left. Pain lanced through; they were at least cracked, maybe broken entirely.
"I have made the Avatar of Balance mine, an Avatar of Chaos!"
Sukan's eyes widened as Yoriko's tiny body stiffened. She lifted her pistol once more. Even if it would do little damage, she wanted this Lin Quei to feel it.
Before she could squeeze the trigger, though, Yoriko turned and looked her straight in the eyes. Sukan didn't even have time to gasp at the change in those eyes, as a massive gust of wind took her off of her feet and slammed her into the opposite wall. As she felt her ribs give and her head slam against the wall, she heard a multitude of voices cry out.
"It hurts; make it stop!"
As the officer's vision dimmed, she felt hot tears running down her face. The girl had already lost her parents, and now all she wanted was an end. It wasn't her voice exclusively, but Sukan knew that she had already lost everything.
She stood slowly; this spirit wouldn't take Yoriko's freedom, too.
"I'm gonna shoot him," she hissed. "Going to kill him!"
Sukan could see his back through the doorway; he was showing off his "prize" to someone, likely the Order. She gritted her teeth. If he was going to go down, she had to get a bit closer. Fortunately, both he and Yoriko seemed preoccupied.
When the officer had closed the gap sufficiently, she raised her gun. However, she didn't take the shot because she was focused on Yoriko, who had collapsed to her knees. The spirit began to lose his composure, and when he raised his hand to stab her again, Sukan pulled the trigger three times.
The shots had the desired effect; the spirit tumbled down the steps and away from Yoriko. Sukan quickly holstered her gun and rushed over to the Avatar, wincing with every step. Her breathing was labored, due to her ribs, but she couldn't slow down.
When she reached Yoriko, Sukan wrapped her arms around her.
"Are you alright? Please, tell me you're alright!"
"...Off...Officer...Suk...an..." Yoriko shivered in her embrace. "...I wanna go home. I want my mommy and daddy...I want to tell them I'm sorry..."
Sukan bit her lower lip and hugged Yoriko tighter, causing her wounded shoulder to burn and throb. "I'm so sorry, Yoriko; if we'd protected you..."
"I'm scared..."
"I know," Sukan replied. "So am I."
Sukan's gaze whirled as the spirit cried out and began running from Izanagi, who immediately gave chase.
This wasn't over yet.
- It's interesting. This story has taken so many twists and turns. Initially, it only had a few common elements with what I'm publishing now, but it grew into a longer story, somewhat against my will.
- What will the Order do now? Is the Avatar all right? Sorry to do this to y'all, but you're just going to have to wait and find out. ;)

Food Genius to Keep CPGs Abreast of Restaurant Trends
All the scanner data in the world won't tell supermarkets what consumers are craving at the restaurants they frequent.
But dining trends are important as Americans increasingly are looking for restaurant-style prepared foods at grocers. By learning what new recipes are trendy at eateries, retailers and CPG companies can stay on the cutting edge of prepared food trends.
That's the theory behind a new Chicago-based technology startup called Food Genius, which aims to consolidate restaurant menu data and sell it on a subscription basis to CPGs and retailers eager for new product intelligence. It hopes to become the next big data provider to the food industry and transform the market for new product research.
Big Data on Small Restaurants
"We track explicit attributes on the menu," said Eli Rosenberg, co-founder of Food Genius. "We're tracking core menus that account for roughly 300,000 locations across the United States." Included are menus from more than 100,000 independent restaurants and 900 chain restaurants.
Because the restaurant industry is fragmented with many companies holding only one or two locations, menu data is one of the few areas of the food industry that hasn't been fully tapped for market research, Rosenberg said. "We're hedging and going into the industry with a broad focus to see which roles in the food industry find value with it."
CPGs will likely be the first adopters of Food Genius reports, while retailers can use it to innovate store brands, said Guy Turner, managing director of Hyde Park Venture Partners, which has invested in the company. "The product has the ability to develop insights at a much more granular level than is [currently] available," including categorizing information by chains versus independents, geography and meal parts, he said.
In September, Food Genius closed on a $1.2 million round of funding led by Hyde Park Venture Partners and Hyde Park Angels. The company plans to offer individual subscriptions for $2,000 a month, but has discounted the price to $899 for a limited number of early adopters. The service, now in beta testing and set for a rollout in January, will offer reports based on menu data from GrubHub, an Internet restaurant menu and delivery service. Companies can use the data to find insights for their specific needs, Rosenberg said.
Consumer-Friendly Interface
Food Genius has taken "sloppy data" that can be difficult to track and analyze and found a way to make it useful, said Owen Shapiro, vice president at Leo J. Shapiro Associates, who is an investor in the company and sits on its board of directors. "They've essentially created a consumer-friendly interface. It feels like you're on CNN Money doing a graphic interface for retirement planning," Shapiro said.
By consolidating the preponderance of menu data available and updating it regularly, Food Genius will be able to track trends. "No one else has that depth of knowledge," Shapiro said. "Over time, it can help rationalize decision-making and marketing for the food industry."
Product development teams will be able to use Food Genius to spot trends in types of foods or ingredients popular at restaurants, then compare the findings with their offerings to find gaps. "If you're a grocer and there's a deli item you want to try, you can plug it in," Shapiro said. Food Genius will report on how common the item is and detail how it is described on menus, such as "savory" or "crunchy." For example, research & development teams can determine which vegetables are most commonly served with chicken entrees.
"By and large the food trends that emerge in the United States come out of the restaurants and then migrate over time to the grocers, a lot of times through the manufacturers. If you're looking for food trends, it's really an ideal setting," Shapiro said.

Mini Cheesecakes are the new Cupcakes
I wasn't so sure how this will turn out. Will the paper forms come off easy? Will the little cakes be solid enough? Cake worries…. for nothing!
I am obsessed with making Mini Cheesecakes! This weekend I had 2 invitations. I made the amount of one big cheesecake on friday afternoon and brought half of the goodies to the saturday night dinner with family, the other half I froze and brought them with me to a birthday brunch on sunday.
You just prepare your muffin tray with muffin paper forms and the recipe can start!
You can keep them fresh in your fridge for 3 days. I just froze them for that short time to test, if they are still as good afterwards. They are! Just freeze them in a tupperware and the flavors are save.
I made my Cheesecake basic recipe, and then went on to create raspberry-Chocolate flavors. That's the cool thing about it: after making the base, you can really just create the flavors you desire, mix in fruits, nuts, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, what every makes you happy!
And yes…even skull – shirt wearing rockers love little pink tarts.

I don't take myself too seriously, I am generally pretty easy going and agreeable.
I've been told I'm pretty modest. I have a dark, sarcastic sense of humor that can be often be misunderstood. I have a lot of uncommon hobbies. I can be very self conscious and insecure. I like meeting new people, and I like being around people, but I also enjoy quiet nights at home. I try to do the right thing as best as I can. I have really bad taste in music, and clothes. But at least I'm honest about it.
If this sounds appealing then send me a message.
I like silly or dry and dark comedy. 30 Rock, and Arrested development are two examples.
I will eat just about anything you can put on my plate, and enjoy it. seafood is my favorite though.

Denver, Sept. 27 (Reuters): US President George W. Bush telephoned French President Jacques Chirac today as part of his push for a UN resolution effectively threatening Iraq with military action, the White House said.
Bush raised the issue of Iraq during a call to thank Chirac for the work of French troops who helped evacuate US students from the Ivory Coast this week to escape an army uprising that has left hundreds of dead in the West African nation.
The President reiterated his desire to work with the United Nations to have a firm and effective outcome, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters as Bush flew to Denver on a domestic political fund-raising trip.
In Paris, Chirac spokeswoman Catherine Colonna said the French leader had told Bush that more than ever he wanted a two-resolution Security Council strategy on disarming Iraq one on readmitting arms inspectors and a second one spelling out the consequences if Baghdad does not let the inspectors work freely.
The President reiterated Frances position to him (Bush) that disarming Iraq is necessary and must be done within a UN framework, Colonna said. The objective is the rapid and unconditional return of UN inspectors to Iraq. A simple, firm resolution which shows the unity and determination of the international community could help on this front.
Washington has British support for a draft UN resolution warning Iraq of serious consequences if it did not comply with disarmament demands but faces an uphill struggle with other permanent Security Council members Russia, France and China.
Russian foreign minister Igor Ivanov said today there was no clear proof in a British document made public this week that Baghdad had chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
French officials announced yesterday Paris had won the backing of China, the other permanent Security Council member, for its two-step approach.
Fleischer made clear that Bush was sticking to his demand for a single resolution rather than the two-step process.
The resolution has to make clear that Saddam Hussein is in violation of the UN Security Council resolutions. The resolution has to make clear what Iraq needs to do to come into compliance. The resolution has to make clear what will happen if Iraq does not come into compliance, Fleischer said.
The President supports a resolution that has all three of those components, he added.
The spokesman said he also believed there was progress in the US Congress on the language of a resolution on Iraq, citing Senate majority leader Tom Daschles aim to bring the issue up for debate in the Senate next week.
Missile sites bombed
US and British jets bombed two Iraqi surface-to-air missile sites south of the capital Baghdad after Iraqi forces fired on Western aircraft, a Pentagon spokesman said today.
In Baghdad, an Iraqi military spokesman said the targets attacked were civilian and that one civilian was hurt.

A novel by Renee Andrews
When your life begins with murder, learning who to trust can be deadly. A killer with a twisted view of religion is counting the days, forty days and forty nights, and counting the murders, seven women every seven years. But he doesn't realize two determined women are counting the days too, the days until they have vengeance...and the hunter becomes the hunted. Every seven years, seven women die. All blonde, all single, all pregnant. But the intriguing profiler knows more than she reveals, and the savvy TV correspondent has seen his face. Now two women with secret pasts make one vow: to stop a killer.

A construction delay at Lancaster High's new artificial-turf football field has forced the school to move its first home game to Buford High's new turf, which was a high priority to finish before hosting the annual jamboree this weekend.
LHS athletics director Mark Strickland said he made the call to move the game because the field's surrounding asphalt "drive-around" may not be ready on time.
A Heath Springs man reported missing Monday evening was located overnight nearly 750 miles away in Missouri.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office asked for the public's help in locating 75-year-old Bobby Baker Monday night, saying he'd last been seen driving his red 2005 Chevrolet farm truck about 11:30 a.m. in the area of McIlwain Road.
Lancaster County school board members, district staff and community members gathered Monday afternoon to break ground on the Panhandle's new elementary school.
Expected to be complete next August, the 95,000-square-foot building will accommodate 1,170 students. The 36-acre site is on the west side of U.S. 521, just south of Rebound Road.
School board member Melvin Stroble, who represents District 1, where the new school is being built, said the district needs additional facilities to support growth in the Panhandle.
The Lancaster Police Department on Tuesday will open a satellite office on the city's west side – in the lobby of Springs Memorial Hospital.
While it won't be staffed 24/7, the office will benefit the hospital, nearby residents and the police department, said Police Chief Scott Grant, adding that the proposal originated with hospital CEO Janice Dabney.
"It's her idea. I just recognize a good one when I hear it," Grant said. "We're excited."
Van Wyck residents overwhelmingly voted to become a town during Tuesday's incorporation election.
Residents of the community's 1.4-square-mile "original incorporation area" voted 67-7 to incorporate, according to Lancaster County elections officials. Incorporation is the first step in a plan that calls for the new town to grow through voluntary annexation of adjacent properties.
A man was shot early Tuesday in a home-invasion robbery at his Clinton Avenue residence, and police are looking for information about three suspects in the case.
About 4:20 a.m., first responders arrived at a medical call in the 400 block of Clinton Avenue and found that the man had been shot, according to a statement from the Lancaster Police Department.
The victim, whose identity was not released, is in stable condition at Springs Memorial Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, the statement said.

For The Lancaster News
Surrounded by well-wishers gathered for prayer and food, one former foster child made a life-changing donation to another last Friday at J&J Autosports in Lancaster.
J&J co-owner Jonathon Mobley presented a free 2004 Chevy Impala to recipient Alexis Buckley through On the Road Again, a program run by the S.C. Foster Parent Association.
While trying to jump-start their car Wednesday, Eric and Jeri Sullivan found a surprise under the hood – a 4-foot timber rattlesnake coiled atop the motor.
Eric "popped the hood, and it lifted its head up, and he slammed the hood down," Jeri Sullivan said Thursday. "I screamed and told my husband I would not ever be driving that car."
What to do next? They couldn't shoot the snake without hitting the motor, and they sure weren't going to try to touch it.
Three of the four defendants facing trial for the drug robbery and murder of 20-year-old Randy Tran in Indian Land last year have pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
The fourth, alleged to be the shooter in Tran's killing, is to face trial for murder later this month.
According to the Lancaster County Clerk of Court's Office, Na'Chon Jakeh Hayden, 22, of Indian Land pleaded guilty during Tuesday's plea hearing to one count of armed robbery.
A Lancaster man has been charged in a string of 11 thefts and burglaries across the county over the past two months.
Christopher David Sims, 25, was arrested at about 3 a.m. Aug. 2 after deputies responded to a call on Country Club Drive, according to a statement from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
The homeowners reported that someone had tripped a motion-sensor alarm in the carport, and they saw a man running away and noticed a red Honda parked in a neighbor's driveway.

Star Tip On A Ball Cake? How To Ice?
Decorating By arh624 Updated 12 Jan 2014 , 10:53pm by -K8memphis
AI am making my husbands birthday cake tomorrow and he is a big basketball fan so I decided to make him the Wilton basketball cake using the star tip---I will be using a Pyrex bowl to bake in.
1. I was thinking I would fill the bottom half of the ball with the star tip icing (as well as piping in the lines), then flip that half onto the cake board--this will allow me to easily star tip the top of this piece (bc I am assuming it is hard to use the start tip on oarts of the cake that are next to the cake board?) then I plan on creating the dam/adding filling---then taking the top half of the ball and putting it over this and simply using the already drawn lines from the bottom half to continue over the filling and top of the sphere. Then I can fill in the rest of the ball w the star tip.
Is this a good method? Or will I be better off assembling the entire cake and then doing all the icing at once?
2. If I use Tera cotta colored icing for the dam in between layers, can I get away with not doing a crumb coat and simply filling the cake w stars?
Thanks in advanxe
maybe so--i don't think i've ever flipped a cake like that after i decorated it--that might work--
but yes i would assemble all at once--then decorate--
another way to do that is to make a very small cake board for that to sit on so you can place that on a can (of soup or vegetables) so that you can get to it from every angle to decorate then take that and place it on the real bottom board--securing it with a smear of icing or with hot glue--
you can just slather on icing like mayonaise--real thin--or none at all if you are diligent with the stars--you could also go back with a small dot of icing like a #3 tip to fill in any holidays in the coverage--
also i'm kinda worried about the rounded ball shape of the top of your bowl--it might look like the basketball is flat on top like it needs to be pumped up with air unless you have a piece of cake to fill in that top section to round it out a bit--
AThanks, that's a good idea! Also, I will probably round off the top with icing and then cover the icing with starts along with the rest of the cake, hopefully that will take care of it.
maybe that will work--but be careful with that--if you can spare a little batter to bake off in another little bowl you'll be better off doing it that way--icing is not super reliable to apply in that way--
or even when you level the top of the bowl cakes--use that as first choice instead of icing is my recommendation--
best basketball baking & caking to you

Converting Music to From Wav or MP3 to MIDI
While, you CAN do this, don't expect perfection. The original audio file doesn't contain discreet information about the music. Whatever software you use to convert to MIDI will attempt to create that information from the raw audio. It will not be able to do it perfectly. The success will differ based on the original audio.
The software you can use to do it is free. You can download Audacity here:
Download and install Audacity to your computer. There are separate download links for Mac and Windows computers, so be sure to click the correct one. Make sure that the version you download is at least version 1.3.6, as that is when MIDI export capability was added.
Launch Audacity on your computer. Click "File" and select "Open" to open up your MP3 file in Audacity.
Click "File" and then "Export" once the MP3 file is open. This will open the "Edit Metadata" dialog box. Click "OK" to move to the next screen.
Locate the "Format" field and click on the pull-down menu. Select "Other uncompressed files" as your output type. Click the "Options" button to the right of this field. Select your MIDI output type and click "OK," then click "Save" to convert the file. A screen will pop up as it converts, and you will see a progress bar on the screen. Once the conversion is complete, the screen will disappear. Look for the MIDI file in your Audacity folder.

Once again, I recommend reading the original 'Pasta alongside this. Also, this is still not associated with CinemaSins and is simply done for the fun of it. As usual, enjoy.
1. Game reminds narrator of other game despite them not having any similarties apat from having some sort of rodent-based theme.
2. Funny, the picture shows that he's clearly rat-like in form. Granted, it's a cheap-looking highly-stylized puppet, but it's still obviously supposed to be a rat. Does the author just not know what a rat looks like?
3. Rap Rat is very OCD when it comes to the rules of the game. Also, he's a dick to children.
4. Huh, I didn't know David Lynch directed this video.
5. VHS board game traumatized your child? Just hide it in a closet. It's not like they'll stumble across it years later. Also, why didn't the mother just return it to the store she bought it from? Were they not accepting refunds for that specific game?
6. The girlfriend is a dick to the author.
7. Why would the tape even bother to change at all? Even if you assume he got over his childhood fears, the original footage would've still been rather disturbing. Did Rap Rat just get bored and decide to show something else?
8. Story claims Rap Rat is covered in fur when the image clearly shows he's made of rubber.
9. Did he play the tape in a toaster? Also, why would Rap Rat cause the tape to overheat (assuming it was him who caused it to do so) if watching the video is what causes him to manifest and install fear into people?
10. Wait, now the story says that simply mentioning Rap Rat's name causes him to appear. But, nowhere else prior does it ever imply that ever happening.
11. Again, the story says the puppet is made of felt and plastic when the image clearly shows it to be made of rubber.
12. A heavy-duty sewing machine is unable to handle the weight of a small child. Either this is the cheapest sewing machine ever, or the child weighed several hundred pounds.
13. I don't know much about Voodoo culture, but I'm fairly certain there is no such being as "Aparat".
14. So, which is it? Does saying "Rap Rat" or "Aparat" summon/give him power or does watching the video do so? Or both? The story can't seem to make up its mind.
15. Why would the workers be forced to suffer the curse? I mean, I get the mother was mad with grief, but her gripe was with the owners of the company and not the factory workers. She basically doomed a bunch of innocent people to a horrible death. That basically removes any sympathy I had for her.
16. Now I'm just imagining people being murdered by Derpy Hooves.
17. What if multiple people say his name in multiple locations at the same time? Does he appear there all at once? Also, come to think of it, there is more than one copy of the game out there. Is he obliged to appear every time someone pops in the VHS and plays it even if he's in the middle of tormenting someone else?
18. That's an oddly specific set of time for a demon to be active. Also, does it only apply to a specific time zone or just in general? Because, it's always 3:30 in the morning somewhere on the planet.
Total Sin Tally: 18
Punishment: An eternity of being in a 90s VHS tape (Totally radical, dude!).

Pioneer Editorial: Wood-fired instead of coal-fired?
The recent movement away from siting new coal-fired plants still leaves the nation in a desperate need to provide baseline power while research continues into coal's replacement.
That answer might be wood -- but one that must be used cautiously.
USA Today reported Wednesday that wood power is on the rise -- growing from one wood-burning plant in 2007 to seven last year and a dozen so far this year.
So far, much of the wood power is coming from wood waste -- bark, twigs and other waste wood. That's a good idea, and there's plenty of waste wood.
But as demand for baseline power increases, the temptation grows to use wood itself standing in our national forests. That too can be used if on a sustainable basis. It would help in our area to turn wood harvest from waferboard use to energy use. But we must not grow an energy demand so great that we must clear cut large swaths of pristine woodland to satisfy our energy use.
That's why wood-burning power plants never will replace coal-fired plants, but in smaller, more regional settings, they can provide consistent sources of energy while waiting for wind, solar and other renewable energies to become as consistent.
USA Today's report notes that electricity from new wood-burning plants grew in megawatts from eight in 2007 to 115 in 2008 to 310 projected for this year. One megawatt can power up to 900 homes.
On the drawing board are three 100-megawatt plants, scheduled to start in 2012 that together would provide enough electricity to power up to 270,000 homes. Image the amount of wood needed to provide a consistent power base.
As with any use of our natural resources, a balance must be found. Burning wood instead of coal holds promise, but we must not deplete that resource as well.
Still, the whole field of biomass energy holds promise as yet another source renewable and sustainable energy -- if used correctly.

In an effort to encourage more people to use its ride-hailing app for their daily commute to work, Uber has expanded its carpooling service, UberPool, to three more cities in the San Francisco area: Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda.
The carpool service, which allows individuals to share rides for a lower price, launched in San Francisco in August 2014. Uber has aggressively expanded UberPool to other U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, as well as overseas markets including China and India.
The company's data for San Francisco, where carpooling rides now make up nearly half of Uber's trips in the city, suggest there's considerable demand for the service.
Sign up for Data Sheet, Fortune's daily newsletter about technology.
Uber is quick to tout the environmental benefits of UberPool, citing that in one month the service saved 120 tons of carbon dioxide emissions when compared with non-pooled trips, the equivalent to the output of over 128,000 pounds of coal. And while the reduction of traffic and pollution are notable benefits of carpooling—a solution urban planners and environmentalists have promoted for decades—Uber is driven by more than altruism for city dwellers.
Simply put: it's business relies on riders—and lots of them. As Wayne Ting, Uber's general manager in San Francisco puts it: "It's all about getting more butts into fewer cars."
Three questions from Uber's Ryan Graves:
And the company has spent millions in an aggressive expansion to reach more riders. At the start of 2014, Uber was available in fewer than 100 cities. Today, more than 400 cities have Uber.
The carpooling service allows it to deepen its reach in the cities where it already has a presence, and hopefully become a daily habit of riders—not just a service to use on weekends.
Uber isn't alone in this approach. In 2014, just a day after Uber's announcement, rival Lyft launched a similar service. Since then the battle over riders has heated up, particularly in Asia where it's competing with Didi Kuaidi, China's biggest ride-hail service that offers a variety of services including private car, taxi, designated driver, bus, and enterprise services, as well as a carpooling service called Hitch.
For more on Uber's China strategy read: Uber's new carpooling service launches in China
Uber, which announced plans last year to invest more than $1 billion into its operations in China, has also launched a new variant on its carpooling service in the Chinese city of Chengdu. The service called "UberCommute" builds on an existing carpooling function in China. UberCommute matches riders with drivers who are already going to a similar destination as them, a similar approach to France-based BlaBlaCar's business model. Lyft introduced an identical option November 2014.

Bloomberg is emphatic: "They sell at the wrong time and buy at the wrong time," said Walter "Bucky" Hellwig, who helps manage $17 billion of assets at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama. "They aren't traders. They are looking at it as a long-term holding, as an ultimate reserve currency. With the benefit of hindsight, they tend to get it wrong more often than not."
emphasis mine It doesn't get more unequivocal than that. They sell at the wrong time and buy at the wrong time and generally tend to get it wrong more often than not. But note what "it" refers to here: trading currencies. Here I will be forced to challenge one of "Bucky's" assertions. When Hellwig suggests that central banks "aren't traders" he's flat-out wrong. Central banks not only manufacture all of our currencies (except gold and silver), they are up to their eyeballs in trading this paper by the $trillions, every day. Bloomberg quantifies these recent losses in currency trading in just this one currency: Central banks are the biggest losers, with about $560 billion of value erased since gold reached a record $1,921.15 an ounce in September 2011... Wow! Over $500 billion in "losses" in just 18 months. So when Bloomberg and Hellwig assert that central banks are grossly incompetent currency traders, to the point where even Hellwig asserts they aren't "traders" at all, this is a very serious accusation. It's like walking up to a bull rider and saying, "He ain't no cowboy." Unfortunately, these cowboys are in charge of the entire, global monetary system and, by proxy, the entire global financial system. If they are all grossly incompetent when it comes to performing one of their primary functions they need to be removed -- now. Or should they be abolished together? Do we have any other "hard evidence" suggesting institutionalized incompetence among these banks? Obviously, we do: the gold-buying itself. The central banks are not only huge currency traders, they are the manufacturers of all of our paper currencies. These "manufacturers" are now dumping their own product at the fastest rate in history and, again, one must ask "Why?" Could we come up with any more examples of institutionalized incompetence amongst the world's central banks? Gee, I don't know. How about "competitive devaluation," the competition among these central banks to see which one can drive the value of their currency (our money) to zero the fastest?

WTIS' Co-Workers
WTIS-AM 1110 Tampa – Previously pioneer Top 40 WALT and country WQYK, Tampa Bay's clear channel 1110-AM was acquired by Forus Communications (Simon Rosen, president) in the summer of 1976. The 10,000-watt station then flipped to a Christian format as WTIS (Tampa's Inspiration Station).
Although licensed to Tampa, WTIS' transmitter, and directional three-tower array are located in St. Petersburg at 311 112th Avenue N.E. To protect other stations on the 1110 clear channel frequency, including WBT/Charlotte, WTIS has always been a daytimer.
In addition to its regular religious programming, WTIS aired Christian rock music on the weekends from the mid 1980's until 1991, featuring shows like "Joyful Noise" and "Power House," which ran on Saturday afternoons.
In December 2016, WTIS went silent. It had been operating under a construction permit to move transmitter and tower to a site off East Washington Boulevard in Tampa, which would enable it to broadcast its 10-kilowatt daytime power from a single non-directional tower and 4.2 kilowatts during critical hours.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Apparently he cannot not act maturely as you. This behavior is petty and immature. I would continue to offer zero attention because some people feel more important if they are getting attention from an ex. It sort of strokes their ego. I would minimize this satisfaction and continue with your fresh start. There is also the possibility that he has some left over emotions from the relationship. Don't pay attention to this either since if he was a great boyfriend he would have been one when you were together. He needs to now move on so that he too can be appropriate when communicating with you. Limit your communication to things you need know. When he has closure he will quit being short or angry

This makes a very tasty appetizer! Chill overnight, it makes for a less salty fish. These are served all over Miami and they are so good! Originally on the Goya Foods web site.

(Letter #2)
Mr. Carson,
I'd first like to apologize for this letter being late. I haven't gone more than a month without writing, and I have to say I'm ashamed. I haven't written anything in almost two months, and the worst part is I don't even feel bad about it. I usually pride myself on being consistent. Consistency is key, my father always said. He told me that if I was to get a good job and make a nice family for myself, I had to be consistent. "Tell your wife you love her, kiss her every day before you leave, and a firm hand to the backside never hurts. Show up to work, be there on time, work hard. Every day." Of course, he never could follow his own advice and vacated our house by the time I was twelve.
Anyway, Mr. Carson, how are you doing lately? Has the leg been giving you any more trouble? I told Iris (you remember Iris, from the lodge) that you were having some joint pain, and she told me to tell you about eucalyptus. It's supposed to help with the swelling. Her husband has to use the cane full time now, but I guess he's doing OK with it.
I feel a rather cold wind blowing in from the north, a brisk reminder that winter is still within our rearview mirror. The days have been feeling longer the more I think about picking up and leaving like you did. I dream of adventure and sun and beaches as far as the eye can see, but this dreadful depression keeps me contained in this house. I'm clawing at the walls in my mind, but I can barely muster up the energy to make coffee.
My soul is trying to tell me something that I can't understand.
Two weeks ago John and Marissa divorced. The couple that lived 'round the bend from the store on 49th. I was at Dino's having a beer before heading home when I saw John come in. He looked worse for wear. His shirt was unbuttoned at the top and his tie was draped lazily to the side. He sat at the bar and put his face in his hands. I tried not to watch but he emitted heaps of distress, and I think part of me wanted to keep an eye on him.
I got the bartender's attention, pointed to my glass and then nodded over in John's direction. When he slid the drink over John looked up, followed the bartender's finger to me, and, with a look of embarrassment, nodded while avoiding any further eye contact. It was obvious he didn't want to talk so I didn't push him. Ended up finding out a couple of days later when I ran into Marissa at the grocery store.
She, too, looked worse for wear. The bags under her eyes told me their little one was with her. I think she assumed I was going to ask where John was, so she decided to offer up that information on her own. "He says the love is gone." I could hear the shakiness of her voice and it tied knots in my stomach. "His mother never liked me anyway, so I guess at least someone will be happy about it." I didn't have any words for her. She just smiled weakly and then continued pushing the cart toward whatever single mothers have time to eat.
Why do I feel as if so many around me fall in and out of love as faithfully as the seasons change? I can't remember the last time I heard someone tell me their parents were still happily married, or that they themselves are still basking in the glow of their first marriage. If it's not infidelity it's money. If it's not money it's wanderlust. The decision of whether or not they want children. The birth of one, or the death of one. Sometimes, it seems, people will invent even new ways to part, which begs the question: Are we really destined to take one partner forever? Is it true, Mr. Carson, that we only get one soulmate in this life?
I'm sorry about my mood. I've been increasingly cantankerous lately, and I'm not sure what to do to stop it. I know the snow is coming soon and there's nothing I can do about it, but I still wish, as I do every year, that maybe we'll get a break from this blanket of despair. Maybe if there was more sunshine people would be happier. But what do I know of happiness?
If I continue this letter my dour attitude will only seek to bring you down, so I suppose I'll end it here. Please believe me when I say we all miss you here. Mrs. Cavanaugh still makes Boston Cremes the item of the week on Thursdays, hoping that someday you'll come back and pick one up. I check on your house from time to time, and the new residents are taking good care of it. I told them that the man who used to live there cared for his lawn like a small child cares for his blanket. They smiled and promised to do the same.
Until next time, take care, Mr. Carson.
Simon Fields.

On the side I have a semi-active freelance career as an illustrator/designer. I professionally published my first graphic novel in July of 2015, and I'm working on the second. I also occasionally write things, and once I was even paid for it.
I sometimes volunteer at libraries and schools teaching kids to draw.
Don't let any of the above fool you into thinking I know what I'm doing. I'm pretty much making this up as I go.
I have a Marathon habit. I will probably inject it into conversation, and I apologize for that.
On the real, I can be very intense, I talk a lot, and I have a loud voice so I can sound like I'm shouting when I don't intend to. I am also very enthusiastic about things I care about.
The Iron Giant.
Jessica Jones.
Gorillaz. The Kinks. Tool. Lately I've been binging 90's rap and hip-hop.
Pasta. Salmon. Not bananas. Bananas are gross. In the future when we're all eating bland nutrient paste to survive it will taste like bananas.
For the record, this thing doesn't ask about favorite comics, but if you aren't reading Saga right now you should know it's amazing. Also: Sex Criminals. And Persepolis.
Not that I'm an antisocial misanthrope. I'm just saying the best night out I've had in a long time involved hanging out with a bunch of free love hippies, and all we did was play D&D and drink pretentious craft beer. Make of that what you will.
I know more Disney trivia than you do (see above.)
1: Go do something strenuous and physical such as running or hiking for a day, and then go home, order italian, and watch cartoons.
2: Take swing dancing lessons. Or any dancing lessons. I will be very bad at it.
3: Make plans for a long backpacking trip. I did a lot of extending camping when I was a kid, and I really miss it.
4. Write a choose your own adventure text game together in a day. Seriously, I know how we can do that.
5. Go for a walk. I know it sounds corny, but when was the last time any of us just went for a walk?
Also the almighty algorithm has apparently deduced that I am 'less sauve.' Which, I mean. Yeah.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Tuesday, Jun 17,2008 8:37 AM
The office of MTV India in Mumbai was attacked on Monday afternoon. According to media reports, it was allegedly attacked by a group of Sikhs to protest a poster of a show called 'On the job', a career-based reality programme on the music channel.
The promo posters of the show and the new career options before youth depict a woman massaging a man, while a Sikh youth looks on.
Though MTV India officials claimed they were not in a position to explain the reason for the attack or the group behind the attack, in an official statement from the channel, Ashish Patil, VP and General Manager, MTV India, said, "A group comprising 80-100 people attacked our office this evening and destroyed our property and hurt some members of our staff. We have no idea about their objective or motive behind this act. We have lodged an official complaint with the relevant law-enforcing authorities and they're looking into the matter."

A new leak from Geekbench has revealed the existence of a mystery Motorola budget handset, sporting a Snapdragon 410 SoC. The name of the smartphone has not been shown in the listing, but it appears to be something like the Moto E which was launched earlier this year to widespread success in developing markets.
The chipset shown here is 64-bit and has a maximum clock speed of 1.4 GHz, which makes it pretty future proof especially with the arrival of Android 5.0 around the corner. The Geekbench listing also shows the handset to be featuring 1GB of RAM with Android 4.4.4 on board, but that could change during the device's official launch as Lollipop starts becoming mainstream.
Considering the fact that Motorola handsets run a relatively stock version of Android, it's not hard to imagine the smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. But we're still some distance away from that as this is merely a benchmark listing at the moment. We expect to hear more about this mystery budget device from Motorola. Could this be the Moto E successor? It certainly looks that way.

Who said it?
1. "I intend to vote yes. … If the vote were today, it would probably be a no vote" in the House.
2. "There's weakness on the part of the president. It's not been a good week."
3. "We're the United States of America and we have to stand for something."
4. "Look, if he had acted as Ronald Reagan did, as Bill Clinton did, as a number of other presidents did — in compliance basically with the War Powers Act — I think that he could have done that. And that would have been a decision made by the president. But at the eleventh hour, when the strikes — leaks have been massive and unprecedented — the strikes are already planned; we know what ships are there; we know how many missiles — I mean, unprecedented leaking, then a reversal at this point, I think, has — has serious consequences as far as steadfastness and purpose of this administration."
5. "[T]he fact is we also can't be uninvolved, because if you just leave it to fester and you have people both in Egypt and in Syria feeling like we have abandoned them, that the United States of America is not on their side, that becomes a breeding down for terrorists, and then that becomes dangerous for us in the long run."
The answers are: 1. Here, 2. here, 3. here, 4. here and 5. here.

Yesterday was my best friend, Leah's, birthday and this Apple Card and Frame is what I sent her as a gift.
The frame is meant as a reminder that I'll always be here for her, there's a story behind the pic but that's between her and me 😉 The card was made to coordinate with the frame, Honeycrisp apples are her absolute FAV so I thought the Apple stamp, from the Fruit Salad stamp set by Some Odd Girl stamps, would be the perfect fit.
I colored the Apple up to look like a honeycrisp using Copic Markers (Y02, Y35, R05, R12, R14, 0, YG63, YG67, E74) then put it on a simple silver seal and white card.
For the frame I added the Remember sticker by Heidi Swapp to the picture, and the wood veneer word bubble from Freckled Fawn was glued to the outside of the glass.
EEEP Fingers Crossed that she likes this Apple Card and Frame! Its a big birthday for her and I only wish I could have shipped myself with it.
Happy Birthday Leah!
So cool that you are teaming up with Paper Issues this time! Thank you for that – loved seeing the awesome things created with your adorable food stamps!! Have a great day!!
Awe great gift! Happy birthday Leah!

Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures | USsPost.com
February 26, 2010 by Post Team
Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures | USsPost.com:Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures are being shown the print and electronic media. A good number of channels have aired the Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures and similarly all the leading newspapers have published the Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures. Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures have become a talk of the town. Andrew Koeing got recognition as a child star. His character of Kirk Cameron's BFF in the Growing Pains brought for him the recognition. What these Andrew Koenig Growing Pains Pictures are suggesting to us. These are suggesting us that Andrew Koeing has recently died. He was away from his for the last some days. He suddenly fled from the scene and his father and mother started locating him every where.
They searched for him at every expected place. All of his friends were asked about Andrew Koeings' whereabouts but no clue was found. The friends of Andrew Koeing also started search form him and they left no stone unturned to reach to him, but they did not reach him. However, after a long search, they succeeded in finding him, but not alive. He had died. Perhaps he committed suicide. His father – Walter Koeing apprised the media that Andrew Koeing had died. His father further pointed out to the media that he himself took his life. It was neither a natural death nor he was killed by any body. He was in fact frustrated with the conditions of his life and had become a permanent patient of dejection. He did not share his sorrows with others and always kept silence. The melancholy and distress in his life had reached to such a height that it forced him to commit suicide. Hence, he committed suicide and was found dead in a public park.

When You Promised Forever
I used to love the beach but everytime I look at the ocean I am washed away by the waves and taken back to a time when our love might have compared to the depth of the ocean. This ocean of pain is even deeper. It's been well over a year but your name still waits on the tip of my tongue for a time that I might get to say it again. I push it down a little further everyday. I have to sit on my twitching fingers to still them from reaching for your body and all I want to do is touch you again. Like my touch is the cureall, like my touch will bring you back, like me touching you can melt the ice around your heart. I sing in the shower now. I still can't listen to that song. I run the water unbearably hot and make sure to scrub every inch of the blank canvas that is my empty body but I can still fucking feel you on my skin. I am trying to live my life in spite of you leaving but everywhere I go I am reminded of you. I hear your voice in crowded malls, I smell you on the sweatshirt I still sleep with as if I held it any closer it would melt into my body and maybe I could finally feel warm, I see your name in my poems and I see your face every time I close my eyes. A long time ago I remember you promising forever and now I'm just wondering what the fuck forever meant to you because for me it did not mean spending three years pouring my heart into your over greedy hands that never stopped begging me for more. It did not mean sometimes, one time, or meantime. It meant all the time. It didn't mean maybe and it did not fucking mean goodbye.

Dutch premiere
Festival year: 2016
A unique look at Chechnya's remarkable transformation. This war-torn country has been replaced with a brand-new state where soaring skyscrapers and luxury malls have erased all traces of conflict. Behind the gleaming facade, the bereaved live in terror, oppression and uncertainty about the fate of their vanished loved ones.
In just a few years, Chechnya has undergone a complete metamorphosis. Minefields and piles of rubble have been replaced with broad avenues, huge skyscrapers and luxury boutiques. These remain virtually empty, because few people have enough money to shop there. It is virtually impossible to see that not so long ago, a bloody war raged here.
However, the consequences of this devastating battle live on in the hearts and minds of the bereaved who saw their children, spouses and parents disappear. Many of them have no clue where their loved ones are, let alone have a grave to visit. However, talking about the past is taboo. The new avenues carry the names of powerful rulers Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov. On the birthdays of the great leaders, the people are ordered outside: everyone is forced to participate in the parade. Anyone who refuses will get fired, or worse.
Journalist Manon Loizeau has been reporting on the Chechen conflict for many years. After the war, she returned to a place she didn't recognize: a country in a state of 'complete schizophrenia', its once proud people silenced by Putin.
