SF captains unhappy at not getting interviews for chief position
"We can only interview so many people," said the president of the police commission. "This isn't a popularity contest"
By C.W. Nevius
There was plenty of internal bickering when George Gascón, the first outsider to hold the post in decades, was appointed in 2009. Gascón silenced the critics with savvy public relations and innovative ideas. But now that's he's the district attorney, the process has begun again - with all the familiar gripes and complaints.
The issue this time is that some senior captains have been told they won't be interviewed. They won't speak publicly, but they are very unhappy.

The changing face of the "EU FTT" - 19/06/2013
Five months ago, the financial services industry was reeling from the shock of the draft EU Financial Transaction Tax Directive, with an impact date of 1 January 2014. A dual focus charging mechanism and wide anti abuse rule made a political statement about trying to ensure that those who laid the seeds of the economic crisis would also pay for it.
The inclusion of both a residence and issuer charging principle threw the effect of the Directive across the globe with anticipated revenues of €30bn - €35bn being funnelled into the 11 EU member states who had signed up to the FTT Enhanced Co Operation Procedure.
The notable lack of exemptions and associated cascade effect caused a commercial transaction costing a supposed 0.2bps to increase fivefold. The money markets, bond yields, daily hedging and collateral were expected to be hit the hardest from a liquidity perspective, albeit there is no doubt that the ultimate cost would be felt by the general public through already diminishing pension pots and other financial investments.
We have seen members of the industry, BBA, EFAMA, IBF, IMA, ISLA, ISDA and UK Government lobby against the proposal to tax share and bond transactions at 0.1%, and derivatives at 0.01%. These constant cries appeared to have fallen on deaf ears until rumors started to circulate about a substantial weakening of the tax in the form of a reduction in scope and phased introduction.
However, the EC came out fighting; the EU Tax and Customs Commissioner, Algirdas Šemeta, reacted last week and reconfirmed that his Directive was unchanged and there had been no official statement made in respect of a dilution of his tax. This means that the threatened effects are still very real.
Please join us for a live streaming WebCast where five of our most respected EMEA FSI FTT Leaders will be discussing the issues facing Algirdas and the rest of the EU Commission. Mr Manfred Bergmann, Head of EU Indirect Taxation, will speak to a limited Deloitte FSI client audience the day before the WebCast allowing registrants to reap the benefit of unparalleled insight from Deloitte Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the UK.

Bump! Again...
Dirge Farum
This is very handy little guide and easy to understand. Not only does it give handy tips on reviewing a Champion, but it also tells you what reviewers may be looking for on your own Champion and how you can improve on it and not fall into common mistakes.
About the only suggestion I can make right now (as I neither post or review Champions currently because of my horrible computer) is perhaps bolding things like 'Preliminary Rule #3' or 'Step #5' just so its easier to find on the list without it mushing together so much, maybe add a space inbetween each Step, though this may just be personal preference and it doesn't impact the guide that much considering I was still able to read and learn from it.
Alright, thanks, I'll do that.
Check back in a minute to find the easier-to-read guide!
I think it's much nicer now, especially for scrolling up and down the page it's easier to refind where you were reading and it's a clear line between steps which makes it seem less cluttered.
Great job! I read through this, and it followed pretty much step-by-step my process for reviews.
We should see if we can get a Red to sticky this...
Bumping. We should see this stickied! Lobby on the red forums for this to get stickied if you find it useful.
We need to keep this as close to the top as possible. Bumping so very often!
Bumping again, not sure how often Riot checks these forums...

^^ This. Was one of my hopes that I posted on the PvP forum. I feel WG/TB should stay current. I also think there could be a max level bracket and a lower bracket. As far as it being instanced, I don't know. But I also think more than 5 people should be able to participate at a time. If the other side cannot field more, they need to figure out something more than having tenacity or penalizing the other faction. Making it relevant again would probably take care of having only the minimum participate.

The verbal sparring between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods continued Wednesday after Woods tweeted back at Garcia in response to comments made by Garcia that could be perceived as a racial reference aimed at the world's No. 1 player.
On Wednesday morning, Tiger tweeted this: "The comment that was made wasn't silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate.
"I'm confident that there is real regret that the remark was made.
"The Players ended nearly two weeks ago and it's long past time to move on and talk about golf."
Garcia, who later issued an apology, took issue with Woods for what he viewed as a breach of golf course etiquette during the third round of The Players Championship two weeks ago, was asked in jest at a European Tour function if he would be inviting Woods to dinner during next month's U.S. Open.
"We'll have him 'round every night," Garcia said, according to multiple media reports. "We will serve fried chicken.""
Tianlang Guan sunk this putt on 18 for a 1-over 73. He's 14 years old.
That's impressive.

Augusta National Golf Club adds 1st 2 female members
AP: Augusta National Golf Club has female members for the 1st time in 80 years. The home of the Masters has invited former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the 1st women at the club when it opens for a new season in October. Both women have accepted the invite.
The club's chairman described the announcement as a "joyous occasion."

Female reporters not allowed in the locker room at Augusta.
How can the PGA hold a tournament - one of the most important tournaments in the PGA Tour - at a blatantly sexist course? Millions and millions of dollars pour into Augusta's coffers while it continues to discriminate against women.
Last year, after the Tiger Woods sex scandal, Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said of Tiger, "It is simply not the degree of his conduct that is so egregious here. It is the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our kids and our grandkids. Our hero did not live up to the expectations of the role model we saw for our children."
Well, Billy, I would say that you and every member of your organization continually disappoints your granddaughters (and grandsons) with your blatant misogyny.

Patrons who buy tickets to concerts or shows should pay attention to developments in the Florida Legislature. State lawmakers could change the ticket rules.
It's a relatively simple, one-page bill that would give us the right to buy tickets without restrictions. Supporters say it would give ticket buyers much more freedom. Critics claim it could drive up prices for all of us.
Some venues will restrict how many tickets you can buy or limit your ability to transfer or re-sell them. Also, as more events move to paperless tickets, only the buyers can claim them -- which can make it tricky to give them as gifts.
But managers of theaters and concert halls say they need restrictions to protect consumers.
"I think they should have limits because I've tried to get tickets five minutes after tickets went on sale and they were already sold out. It's impossible sometimes for regular fans to find tickets to games," said Bradenton sports fan Dan Awalt.
The bill would also lift restrictions for brokers that buy and resell tickets. So critics of this legislation say, if you think it's difficult to find good seats at face value now, this bill would make it even harder.
"If these restrictions go away, there is nothing to protect the consumer," said Michael Kilgore, VP of marketing for the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa. "The people who run those companies come in and buy even more tickets… It has nothing to do with fan freedom. It has everything to do with making the most for companies out of state."
The bill has cleared its first hurdle in a House subcommittee.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Most often when you are working in the Full Edit mode of the Editor, you are going to be manipulating or working with your photographs and so you will have opened existing files. But once in a while, you are going to want to start a new file from scratch. For example, you might need to create something out of graphics or texts like a logo, or a button for a webpage, or maybe you want to create a large background on a blank file and then drag multiple photos on top of the background to make a collage. In those kinds of cases, you are going to want to open a file from scratch this way. In the Full Edit mode of the Editor, I'm going up to the File menu at the top of the screen and I'm going to choose New, and then Blank File. That opens the New dialog box.
Let's go through the fields in this box. The first field asks you to the name the file. You don't have to name the file here, you could wait until you save it, but you are welcome to do so by clicking in this field, selecting Untitled by clicking and dragging over it and typing your own name, mynewfile, then you will want to set the dimensions of the file. You can do that manually by going down to the Width and Height fields, checking that the unit of measurement for those fields is as you wish it to be. So, if you are creating something for print, those will usually be set to inches, but if you are making something for the web or for screen, you might want to change that unit of measurement to pixels and you would do that by clicking on this menu and just choosing pixels here.
I'll leave it set to inches for now. Then you can type the dimensions into the Width and the Height fields and you are ready to move onto the other fields. But you don't have to go to all that trouble because Elements ships with the number of presets. Let's take a look at some of those. I'm going after the Preset menu and I'm going to click there. And here, I can choose the kind of document that I'm making. So, if I'm making a document that's going to be a background for photos, I might choose photo. And then in the Size menu, I can click and I find all kinds of preset choices.
So let's say, I wanted to make a 5x7 landscape, I could just click there and the width and height as well as resolution, which I'll talk about in a minute, would be filled in for me. But if I were making something for the web say, I could go back to the Preset menu and from there, go down to web and in the Size menu, choose the size of the document that I wanted in pixels. So let's say, I was making something that I wanted to fill the screen of 1024x768, I could click there and the Width and the Height fields are filled in automatically as well as the Resolution field. I'm going to go back to this Preset menu and I'm going to choose Default Photoshop Elements Size, which is 6x4 at 300 pixels/inch in the Resolution field.
So, let me talk for a moment about resolution. In Elements, resolution means the number of pixels that would be assigned to every printed inch of a file. Every file as you see it on your screen is composed of pixels, which are tiny squares of color information. When you go to print a document, you have to translate that number of pixels into inches, so that the printer knows how big to make the document. Most often you will probably be printing to an inkjet printer on your desktop and so this default of 300 pixels/inch is a safe number to put in the Resolution field.
The next field to look at is the Color Mode field. If I click there, I see that I have three choices and I recommend that in almost all cases, you leave Color Mode set to RGB Color. Even if you are creating a document that ultimately is going to be black and white, RGB Color will give you more tonal information to work with, and so it's a better choice. Also, please notice that there is no choice for CMYK here which is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, that's the color mode that's often used in commercial printing and that's simply is not an option in Photoshop Elements.
The last field here is Background Contents and that simply means what color the new blank file is going to be. It can be white, it can be whatever color is showing over here in the Toolbox in the Background Color Box. Currently that happens to be white, but it can be any color, or it can be transparent. Transparent is not usually going to be A viable choice for you, if you are preparing a document for print, however, you may want to use transparent if you are making something for the web or the screen, that's going to have a transparent or see-through background. So I'll leave the set to white for now and I'll click OK.
And there is my brand new blank file ready for me to create something wonderful in.

After the Boston Bruins 4-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Friday night, there was a huge mass of media, some on step-ladders, all surrounding a defenseman from Ontario, trying to get a good look at one of the newest and the youngest members of the team. It is a sight Dougie Hamilton will certainly have to get used to.
Only 15 minutes prior to this media frenzy, the 17,500 people in attendance at the Garden were chanting Hamilton's first name. The "Dougie" chants were followed by the arena blasting the ever-popular rap song, "Teach Me How To Dougie" to which Hamilton gracefully acknowledged by doing the "Dougie" dance, earning laughs on the bench from the young star's teammates.
Quite simply put, Hamilton has quickly taken over as the fan-favorite in Boston.
As the second tallest player at 6'5 (only shorter than fellow defenseman Zdeno Chara), Hamilton is also starting to get used to his role as a blue liner for the big club in his first few starts as an NHL player.
Hamilton was drafted 9th overall in the 2011 draft by the Bruins and he played last season with his junior OHL team in Niagara. Hamilton was also the Canadian Major Junior Defenseman of the Year in the 2011-2012 season; a succesful season that led to him getting ice time on one of the biggest stages in hockey.
In his time with the Bruins thus far he has recorded three assists, including the two on Friday in front of the home crowd; assisting on both Thornton and Bergeron's goals. With three points already Hamilton certainly is making the transition from juniors to the NHL look rather smooth at this point early on in the season.
"I think I am learning new things every day and trying to adjust," said Hamilton. "I think I have gotten a lot of good coaching and help from my teammates. I'm just trying to get better."
Fellow teammate Tyler Seguin is one of the closest in age to Hamilton at 20 years old but plenty of his teammates have also helped make the transition into his first few games with the club easier. Hamilton's teammates also voiced their praise of one of the newest members of the club.
"You always like to see the young guys come in and play well and have that excitement of living their dream of being in the NHL," said teammate Milan Lucic. "It's great to see. It wasn't too long ago when I was 19 and first came into the league and was having a lot of fun. Obviously, he's at a different level than I was at 19 years old. But it's great that he's able to bring that extra energy to the team and to see him do well like that it definitely gives us a bit of a lift."
At this point, Hamilton doesn't have a permanent residence in Boston and is awaiting word from the Bruins regarding if he will remain with them or be sent back down to the Niagara Ice Dogs.
If were up to his teammates, Hamilton won't be going anywhere come Tuesday.
"Definitely not. I mean, it's obviously an executive decision, but I don't expect him to go back," said Lucic.
For the young defenseman, he is taking it one day and one game at a time.
"I am still in my hotel," said Hamilton. "I guess after the fifth game it is their decision. I am trying not to think about it really. I am just trying to play my best and enjoy myself."

There was a lot more to this story… Yates/ Ford did not uphold their end of the bargain and they lost in court.

Kahne hasn't driven a Ford lately…but he may drive one soon
By admin | September 28, 2009
By Richard Allen
Of all the end of season wrangling and maneuvering the story that is easily the most intriguing to me is the proposed merger between Richard Petty Motorsports and Yates Racing. The reason for the intrigue revolves around Kasey Kahne and his possible reunification with Ford Motor Company.
At one time Kahne was the golden child of Ford. He had been snapped up by the auto maker and placed in their development program with an ultimate goal of making him into a Sprint Cup superstar. Well, as it turns out, Kahne has indeed become a racing star, just not in the way originally planned.
In 2002 and 2003 Kahne drove Fords on the Busch Series for Yates Racing and Brad Akins. However, in 2004 things changed for both the driver and the auto maker as Kahne ended his relationship with Ford and became the full time driver in the #9 Sprint Cup Dodge fielded by Ray Evernham.
The problem for all involved was there were issues that had to be worked out and the dissolution of the Kahne/Ford relationship was not one easily resolved. Ford believed they had a binding contract with the driver and expected him to honor it. Kahne, on the other hand, saw an opportunity to move the NASCAR's ultimate level sooner than planned and went with that option.
In the end, lawyers had to be brought in to bring about a final ending to the matter. Needless to say, the divorce between Ford and Kahne was not a pleasant one. There were plenty of hard feelings on both sides.
Now, with the RPM-Yates merger possibly taking place in 2010, Kahne could be back behind the wheel of a Ford. So, there are some interesting questions going into this new formation.
Can bygones be bygones for the two sides? Can they move forward despite the disagreeable way they broke up? Will Ford be willing to support and market their new driver?
Considering the not-so-business-friendly economic climate in the sport today, RPM and Yates are probably glad to simply remain in place as going concerns. And, with the season Ford has had in 2009 since the first two races of the year, they are probably glad to add someone, anyone, who has the capability to win races.
The original relationship between Ford and Kasey Kahne came to a sour ending. Perhaps this time around the two will have a longer and more productive time together.

Kahne staying with RPM after 2010 will be a wishful thinking for the King. There has been so many changes/mergers going on over the last 2-3 years and throw this sour Ford apple in the mix and who would want to stay. Now broken engines and a Saudi Prince deal. Enough is enough. Too many distractions. Kahne will leave and hopefully head to Stewart-Haas with Kenny Francis.

Rodney Atkins may not be gifted with some grandiose vocal ability but like his label mate Tim McGraw, Rodney has something that is often as important: the ability to pick songs that are relatable to his audience. While "Honesty" broke him out, it was 2006's "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)" that brought Rodney the country music stardom he'd been working over a decade for. After a string of Top 10 hits, Rodney hit a few bumps along the way but like Blake Shelton, he has yet to fail on a song that sounds like a home run the first time you hear it.
Get ready to hear "Take A Back Road" on your country radio dials this summer because "Take A Back Road" is that home run smash hit. It's only been at radio for about three weeks or so yet it already feels like a song destined to join the "country gold" and it doesn't feel like a song that will have much of a 'burn rate' at radio the way that many other songs do. It's quite simply the perfect song to listen to when feeling like 'escaping' the pressures of the world for a few minutes or as the theme song to a weekend getaway.
And that's the gist of this song. Despite wholly modern production with slightly distractive harmony vocalists singing 'oh-oh' in the mix, "Take A Back Road" is nothing if not a feel-good hit and it's yet another song from the mighty pen of Rhett Akins. The only difference from his plethora of other hits is that this one wasn't written with Peach Pickers Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip. The other co-writer this time is Luke Laird (a co-writer of "Hillbilly Bone" and "So Small" among others). With their clever melodious way of weaving a lyrical tapestry, the two songwriters may just have come up with THE anthem of summer 2011, thanks to Rodney Atkins charming and strong delivery of the song.
Listen: "Take A Back Road"

In the absence of any major economic data this week the stock market has been hitting new record highs and the DOW has 16,000 in its sight. The market got a big boost on Thursday with the announcement from Janet Yellen that the Fed needs to be cautious in pulling back stimulus.
By: Fred Arnold
What was supposed to be a week of major market moving news never really materialized. The news reports came but the market did not seem to care much about anything that was reported.
It seems that the majority of the reports came in with little surprise so investors made the best trades they could on the news. Not to say that the market didn't move, however a jump or decline of 100 points these days is considered par for the course rather than a front page headline.
The government shutdown is over 2013. "Woo Hoo." The latest figures are that $600 Million was lost in production and performance for the entire time the government was closed.
With the government functioning again, the economic reports are starting flow out to the public domain however, they are slow in coming. Some of the reports that have come out are listed below:
The partial government shutdown is starting to impact housing, however it is not for the reason that most people think. Many people believe that with government workers on hiatus and the threat of the U.S. defaulting on their debt payments that people will delay their decision to purchase or sell their home.
Although there may be some truth to this, at the present time this is not where the greatest concerns relating to the future health of housing exists.
The first place the shutdown is having an impact is with FHA loans. These types of loans require the government to issue insurance to the lenders that are closing these loans. With the government shutdown happening, currently the Federal Housing Administration is working with a skeleton crew attempting to remain caught up on all the requests for insurance.
I was truly honored to be one of the honorees at the SCV Boy Scouts of America Leaders of Character event on September 28th. Boy Scouts of America, SCV 8th annual Leaders of Character, Fred Arnold.
Home prices continue to gain as the FHFA House Price Index for July rose a more than expected 1.0 percent after increasing 0.6 percent in June. Analysts expected only a .7 percent increase. If you wanted to chart the progression of the Home Price Index you would see that for 18 straight months the index has been rising.
Single-family home prices reached levels not seen since August 2008, and condominium prices dropped to $295,000 from the 5-year high of $300,000 that was seen in July. The number of condo sales is up and home sales are down, but Realtors are optimistic.
The Federal Open Market Committee dropped an unexpected gift on the stock market and mortgage markets when they announced on Wednesday that they will not be cutting back on the government stimulus program at the present time.

Voyager 1 has indeed left our solar system and Home values increase.
After 36 years of space travel and months of heated debate among scientists, NASA confirmed Thursday that Voyager 1 has indeed left our solar system and had entered interstellar space more than a year ago. It has good company, as I think that 30-yr fixed 3.25% home loans are right there with it.

Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba • A persistent knock came from inside the heavy, locked cell door.
A young U.S. Army guard strode over and leaned in to hear the detainee through a shatterproof window.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"What do you want?" the guard asked, not unkindly, in one of the many daily moments in which suspected terrorists demand to be dealt with as their lives hang in legal limbo.
During nearly 12 years of legal disputes and political battles, the United States has put off deciding the fate of al-Qaida and Taliban militants who were captured after the Sept. 11 attacks but denied quick or full access to the American justice system.
Now, as Congress considers whether to grant trials and transfers to most detainees, time may be running out on the law that allows the U.S. to hold them.
The 2001 law is known as the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or AUMF. It allowed the U.S. military to invade Afghanistan to pursue, detain and punish extremists linked to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The law has been used to justify attacks on militants in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere.
Will it remain valid if U.S. combat troops withdraw from Afghanistan at the end of 2014 — whether thousands stay as trainers or if the U.S. pulls out entirely? That's an open legal question that, officials and experts say, must be resolved over the next year.
"The jury is still out on when the AUMF might expire," said Army Lt. Col Todd Breasseale, a Pentagon spokesman. "Many argue that's not set."
If U.S. troops withdraw, "it certainly increases the pressure, as some administration officials have argued, to decide whether the AUMF should remain in effect as is, or if a new version is necessary," Breasseale said in a statement.
In 2009, on the second day of his presidency, Obama ordered the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed within one year. Obama long has derided the facility, where critics say detainees have been abused, interrogated and held illegally, as a blow to American values and credibility worldwide.
Opponents in Congress refuse to let the detainees come to the U.S. for trial, citing security risks to Americans. Lawmakers have blocked the transfer and resettlement of most of the remaining detainees to other nations, fearing they will return to terrorist havens upon their release. Nearly 30 percent of Guantanamo detainees who have been released have since resumed the fight.
Today, 164 detainees are held at Guantanamo, down from a peak of about 660 a decade ago. Most were tried, transferred or cleared for release under President George W. Bush. Seventy-eight have left since Obama took office.
The sprawling camp of barbed wire and hardened cell blocks costs U.S. taxpayers about $454 million each year; that comes to about $2.7 million per detainee.
The facility shows no signs of shutting down beyond a temporary budget freeze on the detainees' library, where well-worn copies of the Quran, the "Hunger Games" series and Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope," are among the 6,000 titles available for reading.
New housing is being built for some of the estimated 5,500 U.S. troops and contractors at the Navy base. More than one-third of them work for the detention camp. Medical staff openly discuss how they will care for aging detainees in coming years.
The Republican-led U.S. House has written legislation that requires the Pentagon to give Congress an annual plan for Guantanamo until the youngest detainee, now in his late 20s, turns 66, meaning the detention camp could remain open for nearly 40 more years.
Early this year, as many as 100 detainees began a hunger strike to protest their uncertain fate. Guantanamo medical officials said last week that 13 detainees were so underweight that they must be force-fed if they refuse to eat, although some voluntarily accept food and nutrition drinks on any given day.
At least some detainees — Guantanamo officials won't say how many — are treated regularly for mental health issues. Others lash out at camp personnel on a near-daily basis, biting and hitting medical staff and throwing feces and other bodily fluids at military guards. Many of those guards are in their 20s and suffering from post-traumatic stress from working 12-hour shifts with openly aggressive inmates.
During a brief observation this past week, several detainees appeared listless as they shuffled under dim lights to prepare for morning Islamic prayers. They looked of normal weight and in regular health, and wore beards and prayer caps. One approached a mirrored one-way window and stood wordlessly for several moments as if he knew people were watching him on the other side of the unbreakable glass. All the detainees are men.
The decision to close Guantanamo's detention camp largely hinges on when the U.S. declares that the global fight against terrorism has come to an end.
Legal experts say the military cannot continue holding detainees if the fighting in a conflict during which they were captured is over. A 2004 Supreme Court ruling in a Guantanamo case warned of an "unraveling" understanding of long-standing laws of war if authorities creep beyond that widely accepted legal boundary.Next Page >

Facebook is coming out with a "Want" button
They want the people to hate and fear the government, because democratic government has a dangerous flaw — it actually has the slight chance of becoming truly democratic. You see, corporations are perfect — perfect tyrannies. — Noam Chomsky (via noam-chomsky)

Moon of Darkness: PrologueMoon of Darkness: PrologueIt was the day after Malefors defeat and the morning was dawning in the valley of Avalar. In a small cave along the ridge of the valley, two dragons were sleeping.Spyro was the first one to awaken. He looked around the cave where they had spent the night. Cynder was lying next to him. Slowly he, to not wake her, he walked out of the cave and looked over the valley of Avalar. He stretched and watched as the sun rose from behind the mountains on the other side of the valley."Good morning, Spyro" sounded a voice behind him, Cynder had awakened and walked up to stand beside him."Morning Cynder, slept well?""Like a log, but how couldn't I after yesterday?" she answered "I can hardly believe it's over.""Me neither. Yesterday seems so long ago, like it was all a dream" Spyro said.They stood for a few minutes, none of them saying anything."Well we better head back to Warfang, Sparx and the guardians will want to know that we are alive" said Spy
LoS: Dark Love Ch 1Awakening of Darkness, Questions in the Tower.The sun was sinking in the west casting its last rays into the valley of Avalar. It was the evening on the day where the Council of Elements had been defeated and peace finally restored. In the valley hundreds of dragons, cheetah, moles, apes and stonar were either going to sleep or still burying the death and tending the wounded of the great battle which had taken place there.Standing on the valleys western ridge illuminated by the sun behind him stood a lone cheetah. In his hand he held wood staff decorated on top by a blue crystal orb and a long cloak with a hood cast a shadow across his face. He was the Hermit or the Observer as he was also called.The Hermit looked downwards towards a plateau straight below him. On the plateau was the entrance to Spyro and Cynder´s cave and right now they were sleeping soundly along with their children.The Hermit smiled and said to himself. "Sleep well purple dragon, rest and become
LoS: End of an Era: Ch 1Gathering of Old FriendsThe trees of the Valley of Avalar swayed gently in the wind as Jacira zipped in and out between the trees. Though the sky above was cloudy, it did not bother her as she preferred when it was a bit cold, just as long as it did not start to rain.For a moment she wondered where Vynin currently was as she flew through the forest, but quickly pushed the thoughts aside. Vynin and Sceranu needed some time alone without her snooping around them all the time
still she could not remember when she had last felt so lacking a purpose. She had always followed Vynin everywhere and now
Jacira sighed shortly, but then focused ahead. She had place to go or at least a place she wanted to visit. She was heading back to her old village and though she had no family there it would be good to see everyone again. Perhaps it would serve her good to relax among her own kin for a while.But she was not heading straight there as there were a few other people she wanted to visit
LoS: Light in the Dark: Ch 1The Blue Comet FestivalA year had passed since Demetrius release and it was midsummer in Warfang. The sun was shining brightly down upon the great dragon city and In the streets hundreds of dragons, moles, cheetahs, dragonflies and even a few Stonar were hurrying about putting up lanterns, brazier and other decorations to get the city ready for the evenings celebration.Because this was the day of the Blue Comet, a celestial event which only happened once every ten years in the dragon world. When the Comet blazed across the skies during the night its blue light revealed far of worlds and different dimensions and some even said that the dead could appear during the night of the comet.It was an event which had repeated itself as far back as any person could remember and it was mentioned in even the oldest writing in Warfang´s great library, it was a cause for celebration and it was a custom to bring family, a special friend or your loved one to watch the comet and not spending tha
Children of Darkness: Ch 1Last Attempt, Final MeetingIt was late in the evening in Warfang, most people were starting to go to rest. But from the Purple Dragon´s room in Warfang light still shined.Inside was Cynder, standing next to her father. Next to her stood Larshyr and Carx. From the bed in the room Vynin was watching with Gravi sleeping peacefully next to her. They were all watching Blazirin and Shar who were methodically examining the still unmoving and trapped Spyro."Blazirin I have found it" said Shar suddenly and Blazirin walked over to her.Shar directed Blazirin towards something on Spyro´s head, just around his forehead."Yes it is there" said Blazirin. "Larshyr would you come over here."Larshyr nodded and walked over so the side that was covered by a similar dark field turned towards Spyro´s head.Blazirin then looked at Cynder. "Do you understand what you are to do?" asked Blazirin."Using my power over darkness I am to create a connection between the crystal maintaining Spyro&
Shadow of the Future: Ch 1The Unknown Wind and the Sudden FearThe darkness of the night swept over Warfang, the clouded skies hanging low. Rain was in the air, but so far not a drop fell. And it suited a dragon hovering just below the clouds just fine.The dragon eyed the city, small braziers burning in the street. Even if he was only to test himself and scout out Warfang, he could not avoid feeling a tingle of excitement. It had been far too long since he had something to really take his anger and hate out on. With a smile he slowly ascended, getting ready to strike.Cynder woke suddenly. All her senses were alert as she slowly rose to her feet, being careful not to wake Larshyr or Carx.She felt something, a dark presence like the darkness inside her was once again stirring, except that this feeling was coming from somewhere outside. She had felt the same the last time she meet Demetrius. The feeling was not as powerful this time, but it was there, like an area of complete blackness in an already dark night.
Spyros New Year: Ch 1RemembranceThe winter sun stood low over the Valley of Avalar, bathing it in a bright light, which was reflected of the snow covering the valley. Eight years had passed since the events of Satenryu and though the future did not exactly look as bright as the gleaming Valley, it was a very special day, a day which would help forget the dark cloud on the horizon if for one day.For today was the dragon´s new year, a day of celebration and a day of remembrance and most certainly a day of release from dark thoughts, if only for one day.Spyro and Cynder had invited all their friends on this day, to gather together in celebration. Right now they were all walking in the snow outside admiring the beauty.Spyro and Cynder were off course there walking closely alongside each other. On their right side Gairu and Tehanu were also walking close together and on their left side Fliera and Coldalar were also walking side by side. Hunter was also there in his red cape, walking between Gairu and S
Council of the Elements: Ch 1Unexpected SurpriseIt was summer in the Valley of Avalar; 10 years after the Satenryu incident and 20 years after Spyro and Cynder had defeated Malefor and saved the dragon world.It was in the middle of the day and the sun was shining brightly from an unclouded sky, casting its life giving rays down upon the valley.In this pristine weather, a young black dragon and a dragonfly were flying across the valley heading towards the northern part.Vynin had grown much since the Satenryu incident, she was now as big as Spyro and Cynder had been when they defeated Malefor and her wings were fully developed allowing her to finally soar through the skies, like her mother and farther.Her scales were black as the night, but with a strong emerald finish from her poison element and her stomach and wings were a glistening orange. Two perfectly curved horns extended from the back of her head. All in all she was a beautiful, but still very young dragoness of the age of 15.Vynin and Jacira were talk
Secrets of Satenryu: Chapter 1"Satenryu"It had been five years since Malefors death at the hands of Spyro and Cynder in the land of Hyrule.During these years, the massive library in Warfang had been looked through for maps and anything else that might indicate where the other dragon temples and cities in the world had been before the Great War. Contact had been lost with all other temples and cities doing the war, so now the Guardians were dispatching scout groups to every known location of a city to look for survivors, eggs, anything that might help find more dragons.Most of the time these expeditions were meet with the totally decimated ruins of the city or temple, but every once in a while they were lucky and found survivors hidden in the caves of nearby mountains or unbroken eggs hidden amongst the ruins.And so our tale takes its beginning as a group of two dragons, a blue, a green, a red dragoness and a cheetah is approaching an island in the eastern sea.The island was large, having it own mountain at the
The Legend of Spyro: Gateway to DestructionHello all and everyone. This is VexireTD uploading the first chapter of my first Fan Fiction. This one is mainly as a test to see how the uploading system works as I have never done it before. I am sure that as time goes on, I should be able to figure this out. Until then, please enjoy the first of many chapters to come of Gateway to Destruction.PM me if anyone feels like talking with me in private one-on-one conversations about any of my works. I should respond to your message within twenty-four to forty-eight hours time. Thank you The morning light crept silently over the horizon of Avalar. The land had changed, it had changed neither for the better nor for worse, but it had changed none the less. Caves once explored now needed to be remarked, paths that had been demolished now needed to be re-routed throughout Avalar. For the most part, Warfang had been almost untouched by and thousands of citizens, by order of the new head guardian Terrador, had been sent out in search for thei
TLOS TDJD PrologueThe legend of SpyroThe Double-Jointed Dragon Everyone knows all about the story of Spyro and Cyder, from swamp all the way to core, we have fallowed them, seen their hardships and fought with them. There are many stories on what happened after wards. This is just one form. In our world a High School student is finishing his junior year. He has had an interesting life. Bullied all threw middle school, having few friends, getting good grades all threw school and suffering for it, from both parents and fellow students. He is a talker not a fighter, ironic really. As the last day of School ends the student and his family are busy getting ready. For the day after school they leave to go on their vacation that they take every year at the same time every year. But as the day wines down the student just can't help but fear and think negative about the summer and the school year not knowing, even in his wildest dreams, that all of those wor

Honestly, at this point, I'm glad that I still can write fics. After scrapping idea after idea, I finally decided to take a break from it all and just relax. And relax I did; which is why I've been gone...for like what? A month or so? I don't know. Rest assured, I am not dead. For those of you who do know me, you know where I usually am at. Heck, if you know where that is, you can even contact me, since I am VERY active THERE.Brushing that all aside. NEW STORY! WOOT!

The legendary purple dragon was hugging the body of his mate in a loving embrace. The two were intertwined as their bodies were in a tangled heap. As the sun began to slowly rise, one of them awoke from their slumber. Spyro groaned as he opened his eyes. He shifted, rubbing his maw against the back Cynder's neck. The nudge woke her up."Good morning
" she said groaning."Good morning to you too," he replied to her. Spyro yawned, giving her a gentle squeeze."You know Spyro?" Cynder turned her head to look at him."Yeah?""You snore; loudly."Spyro snorted. "No way; you snore louder."Cynder scoffed. "I coul

The Purple Essence Chapter 1 PrologueIt was dark, damp and eerie. Moonlight peered into through the craggy cracks at the wall, illuminating portions of the dark cave. The wind howled quietly as it breezed through the dead cave. It was quiet, silent, no sign of life anywhere. It was only until rocks moved at the side, as a being brushed past them, when the silence was disturbed. He moved quietly, on all four paws, his claws audibly tapping the stone floor. A second set followed, and the two of them headed deeper into the cave. No words were exchanged, and their breaths were the sound only audible. As the moonlight gleamed as they passed, their dark silhouettes were illuminated. They were dragons. And it appeared that one was bigger than th
Dear Spyro........ Dear Spyro.........I know that we haven't known each other very long, but I feel like this amount of time together has taught me more than my mind can possibly hold. I can't hold it back any longer. I have to tell you how I feel about you.Everytime that I look into your eyes, I almost lose myself. I always see the kind, generous hero that rescued me in a time of need. Whenever I needed you the most, you were there for me. I would stay with you until the world ended, and afterwards, forever and a day. I need you to be at my side.I've never felt this way before. I guess it

He looked to his left and smiled. Cynder was sleeping peacefully beside him, resting her head on his chest. It would seem that their recent endeavour had tuckered her out completely. He just grinned slyly and turned back to watch the clouds.He had loved her, and they had just performed the act that sealed them as mates.Mates. The word sounded good in his ears. Being mated to Cynder. Maybe then, her image of being the Terror of the Skies would be erased from dragons' mind once they know that he and she were in a relationship. He could only just imagine what the Guardians would think when they break the news to them.But wa

The three dragons then proceeded to eat breakfast, whilst Sparx just happily munched on a grape."Saw your father earlier by the way," said Zaze, striking a conversation."Yeah; they left

Trust me; you'll know soon enough.""Is this something I should be concerned about?" he asked worriedly."I think you should ask Cynder that."Spyro turned to face the dragoness.

LoS: Heart of Power: Ch 1In Honor of BlazirinThe rain fell from the grey clouds in a steady stream upon a rock plateau near Warfang, covering it and the dragons gathered there in a watery coat. The obelisks stood in a square on the plateau each of them facing a corner of the world.The western obelisk was made from beautiful blue rock with a completely smooth, but also cold surface. The rain seemed to gather around its surface and running only slowly down the obelisk like it did not want to leave it.The northern obelisk was made from made from hard brown rock and several cracks ran across the surface of it. It stood tall and mighty none the less, seeming only stronger and harder from the cracks in it surface.To the east stood a obelisk molded from yellow almost golden rock. Suddenly a single lightning bolt pierced the clouds and struck the tip of the obelisk adding to a already deep black scorch mark hinting that it was not the first lightning bolt to strike the tip.The southern and f

I'm sure this has happened to most of you
You come up with a brilliant thought
Before getting a chance to write it down
It vanishes just like a shot!
You try and try so hard to remember
Could it be some great new invention?
Your mind's travelled south for the winter
And has no capacity for retention
You start to sweat and feel the panic
Was it a marvellous new discovery?
Was it going to change the way we live?
The odds are slim for recovery
You consider the electric shock treatment
Sticking your finger in a socket
Reconsidered 'cause your hands were wet
Jammed 'em back into your pocket
So you resign yourself and figure it's gone
Then back it pops into your brain
What you were trying so hard to remember
Was your Mom and Pop's last name!

Bader Sister's WONDERFUL Weekend
My mother is one of 11 children, and once a year the sisters, sister-in-laws and nieces get together for a weekend together (age ranging from 21-81). This year we planned our stay at the Ozarks and had an wonderful time at your house. Everyone loved the home, said it was beautiful and the view was perfect. We maxed out the occupancy but there was still plenty of room for everyone during dinner time, game time, relaxation time, etc. VERY clean home with all the extras, was a perfect weekend.
Lake Time
This getaway was great! Clean, comfortable, private and very easy to get to. The cove is quiet great for paddle boarding. Able to take good walks. The pictures online are accurate, convenient to stores, outlet Mall, grocery shopping, Churches. I would recommend this to anyone. We had a great week in the Ozarks.
Great Vacation for our family
We had a great week. The weather good. I think we spent the whole time outside while we were there. Nice private location for us to set up our things. We even brought a large blow up pool with us and put on the lower deck for our real little ones to go in. The lake front area was great. We rented the kayaks and every one enjoyed them tremendously. Nice to meet Ray and Diane. Oh, Barley to. You set up and accommodations worked great.

After what seems like the longest winter ever, we finally have had some warm weather. It couldn't come at a better time as everyone is a little restless to get back outside again. In order to help people get back in the swing of things for golf, we are hosting a golf demo day with GolfTEC on May 3.
We will have one of their swing coaches here doing a free video swing analysis. In addition, one of our athletic trainers and I will be doing quick fitness screens and providing some exercises to help prepare your body for the golf season.
Call 414-805-7114 to schedule a "tee time" for the event.
Date: Saturday, May 3
Time: 9-11 a.m.
Location: Sports Medicine Center
