AN: "blah" are speeches
'Blah' are thoughts.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered.
"What's up?" the hanyou shifted his eyes to her.
Kagome continued looking up at the sky. It was a beautiful night sky. The milky way felt extra bright from the tightly mingled stars. It was a calming light but it was so ominous. It's vastness really made the two stargazers feel like they were insignificant.
"What are you planning to do once we finish collecting the shards?" Kagome spoke softly, "are you still thinking about becoming a full demon."
"Why all of a sudden?" the dog demon raised a brow.
"I don't know, I just felt like asking," the teen shrugged.
"Hmm, who knows," the hanyou replied. Kagome shifted her glance to him for a moment. "I don't usually think that far ahead."
Kagome continued looking at the boy for a few more seconds before turning back to the sky with a smile. 'Who knows huh. Better than wanting to kill me I guess,' she chuckled in her thoughts.
(End Flashback)
White curtains, swaying in the gentle breeze that came in from the open window, could not focus too well in her eyes. Light felt as though it was one the verge of scattering, only barely able to hold its shape. The wind picked up momentarily, blowing a rump against the curtains. Some early birds were chirping somewhere not too far above the window and occasionally, one would glide down then make its way back up as though they were curious of the being that had just started to stir inside.
The ongoing sound finally registered. She shifted her eyes toward it. A pulse streamed across a panel and was bouncing rhythmically. She noticed a wire extending from the machine that ran under her sheets. She tried to lift it but found her arm to be heavier than expected. She tried again, with a little more force this time. They lifted and she found a patch attached on her wrist along with a tube. "Koko ha…(Where…)," she mumbled. Reaching her other arm up she took sight of her hand. Her eyes squinted through her blurry vision as she brought the hand down to rub them. She heard a crash to her right and turned her attention toward it. A woman in a white uniform had dropped her utensils on the ground when she entered the room. Perhaps her rubbing had helped somehow; her vision was clearer now. She saw that the woman had been genuinely startled by something. Almost immediately after the two met eye to eye, she turned back and ran, forgetting to close the door behind her. "Doctor!" Kagome heard a shriek down the hall.
She heard the woman's footsteps beginning to fade but soon grew louder again, along with someone else's on its way back. "You see doctor, she is awake!" the woman announced before she had even finished turning into the room. Kagome looked questioningly toward the two who paced their way up to her quickly.
"Well I'll be damned, she really is awake!" the doctor raised a brow.
"Where am…." Kagome muttered, still in confusion.
"It's okay Kagome-chan, you are in a hospital right now," the doctor smiled then turned to the nurse, "Give Mrs. Higurashi a call," he ordered.
"Hai, right away," the nurse replied excitedly and exited the room.
"Hospital?" a sudden jolt of memory struck her and she gripped a hand against her chest where she had recalled Naraku's branches had pierced. "Am I still alive?" she pulled her shirt open and looked. There was nothing. No marks, no bruises, not a single sign of damage.
"Of course you are. You're safe and sound at the Tokyo General Hospital. I am your assigned doctor, Omizu Shinobu. I'm sure you don't know who I am but Kitagi-kun and I have been looking after you for the past year or so now. Kitagi-kun is the nurse that you just saw by the way," the doctor smiled.
"Year?" Kagome blinked.
"Yes, Kagome-chan, you've been in a comma for a little over a year now," Omizu replied.
A sickening feeling twisted the teen's stomach as she looked about the room. 'I'm back in modern times...' she swallowed, 'Does that mean that Inuyasha…INUYASHA what happened to Inuyasha!' "Excuse me doctor, what day is today?" she asked.
Omizu checked the calendar. "November 2, 2007" he replied.
"November…2007," she muttered. Her eyes widened as the math untangled in her mind, 'A little over a year…,' "That's impossible!" she whispered. A sickening feeling weld in her stomach.
"I know that it may sound unbelievable to you but trust me, it's very natural to individuals who have suffered a long term comma like yourself. Don't worry, it might be hard to get back into your life for a while but I'm sure you'll be fine," the young doctor consoled.
Thing's were not making sense in her mind again. 'I've been in a comma for a year and its still Nov. 2nd. That can't be right…I left my house no more than 2 weeks ago to fight Naraku.,' she bit her lips, "You did say 2007?"
"That's correct," the dorctor nodded.
'A year…a year…,' she thought over and over again in her mind, "Excuse me, when was I brought in?"
"I believe it was last October…October 14th if I'm not mistaken," replied her doctor.
'October 14th…' her eyes snapped wide, 'That's the day I fell into the well!'
When Mrs. Higurashi rushed through the door, Omizu had just finished doing some final check ups on her daughter's condition. When she saw Kagome sitting up and thanking the doctor, tears of relief rushed to her eyes.
"She is fine now," the doctor said after making his way over, "I'll run through some paper works and she should be okay to go home after. I'll leave you two alone. I'm sure you have lots to talk about." With that, he left the room and closed the door behind him.
"Kagome…" Kagome's mother took a seat on the stool beside her and placed a palm on her cheek as she examined the teen's face. Without a word, she pulled her daughter to her and embraced the girl in her arms.
"Mom?" Kagome glanced to the side at her mother who gave a few sniffles on her shoulder.
"I thought you'd never wake up," Mrs. Higurashi whispered.
"I'm sorry mom, I guess I made you worry. But wait, how did I get here? Did Inuyasha bring me back?" she asked.
"Inu who?" her mother turned questioningly.
"Inuyasha," Kagome answered.
"I'm sorry dear but I still don't know what you're talking about," her mother pulled away then looked at her daughter straight in the eyes.
"Come on mom, stop playing around," Kagome forced out a laugh. The sickening feeling in her stomach had returned, "Inuyasha, the hanyou from the feudal era?"
"The feudal era?"
"Don't you remember me telling you about how I thought my journey was finally coming to an end? The gang and I went to fight Naraku and I got pierced through my stomach. I thought I died but I guess Inuyasha brought me back in time. That's why I'm in this hospital right now isn't it?"
"I'm sorry Kagome but with all honesty, I have no idea what you are talking about. Pierce through the stomach? Dear lord what kind of nightmare were you having. Don't worry Kagome, you're fine now," her mother consoled.
"Nightmare? No mom, it wasn't a dream," Kagome laughed, trying to push the sickening feeling away without much progress, "You've even seen Inuyasha. He even comes to our house pretty often. Don't you remember you fondling with his dog ears the first time you saw him?" Kagome said but she could tell her mother was drawing a blank.
"R..r..right, of course…Inuyasha,"
"It's okay mom, you don't have to play along if you don't remember…"
"I'm sorry dear. I wish I knew what you were talking about but I really don't. Perhaps you were having a long dream."
'A long dream,' Kagome looked down. As she reflected, the events that occurred in the feudal era seemed, indeed, more like a dream than reality. Falling down a well into the past where demonic magic ruled the land; a half demon dog man and a monk with a black hole in his hand; a jewel with powers beyond comprehension and only she was able to purify it; all this seemed more like a television show than life.
"Kagome?" her mother called but the voice escaped her. "Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi called again. This time, the girl snapped back to reality, "are you okay?"
"Yes, sorry I'm fine," the girl replied with a forced smile, "but mom…do you really not know anything about the feudal era? How I used the old well in the small hut of our shrine to enter it to help collect the shards of the shikon jewel?"
Her mother looked up with a new found light in her eyes, "The well! You remember the well! You fell into that well and hit your head on one of the rocks at the bottom and slid yourself into a comma. Do you remember how you fell in?"
"Well, I remember Souta telling me how Buyo went inside and wanting me to help look for him. I heard some noises coming from the bottom of the well so I looked over and suddenly, I got pulled in by some demon."
"Demon…," Mrs. Higurashi sighed, "Your brother told me how you leaned over too far and fell in. When he looked down and found you unconscious, he came running back home. I called 110 and they brought you to this hospital where you've been asleep for the past year or so."
"Grandpa! He should know! He was there when I came back for the first time!"
"Kagome," her mother's voice died to a whisper and a look of uneasiness crossed her face. The daughter turned and raised a brow of question. "Grandpa…He passed away recently."
Kagome's mind went blank for a moment. "Eh?"
"He collapsed outside the small hut where the well you fell into is a few days ago. He died of brain tumours 2days later."
"Brain tumour? No…Usoda(Lies!)" Kagome trembled, "He was fine when I left. He was perfectly fine two weeks ago when I left! He even spoke to me when I was…" her eyes widened and her trembling came to a sudden stop.
'You're on your own now,' she recalled her grandfather's final words. 'It's my fault,' she hissed in her head. She felt her stomach churn and instinctively covered her mouth with her hands. Bending down to a trashcan placed on the side of the bed, she vomited. A clear fluid mixed with her saliva splattered against the bottom of the can.
"Kagome!" her mother rushed to her side and stroked her back, "Kagome are you okay? Doctor!" she hit the nurse button repeatedly as she called.
Omizu was just returning when he heard a beep on his pager and rushed to the room. He examined the situation as he made his way across then released a sigh of relief when he stopped beside the girl. "It's alright Mrs. Higurashi, nausea is a common symptom to patients like her. I brought back the papers, I just need you to sign these and you would be able to take her home."
The woman nodded and did as instructed. "Doctor," she spoke with a lowered voice so her daughter would not hear their conversation, "Is delusion one of the side effects to comma patients?"
"Delusion? I've heard some cases but it is not common. Most patients remember only the last memory before their trauma. Do you think your daughter might be delusional?"
"Well, I wouldn't call her delusional. I think she's just been having a very long dream. She keeps telling me about how she uses the well to go back to the feudal era."
"You mean the well she fell into?"
"I see. It is not really my specialty but I think it might be a dream she's been having in her comma as well. I could recommend a good psychiatrist."
Mrs. Higurashi thought about the offer. "Thank you, perhaps I will see how things go in the next few days before deciding."
"Well, I would like her to come back twice a week for check up so if her 'delusions' continue then we can discuss it during her check up as well."
"Thank you doctor."
The ride home was quiet. The Tokyo traffic was busy as usual, extending her half hour drive by nearly twice as long. The monotone humming of the vehicle's engine was almost hypnotic, sending the two passengers it pulled into their own zones. This was a mutually accepted by both females. Mrs. Higurashi didn't really know how to speak to her daughter about her 'delusions' and Kagome just took granted of the silence for her own thoughts. 'I need to find a logical scenario,' she repeated in her mind, 'something must have happened!' The car screeched its breaks onto the drive way and her mother released a sigh. "Welcome home," she said. The first words exchanged since they reached the highway half an hour ago.
Kagome nodded and stepped out of the car.
The house felt different from all her other returns. It was more…lonely. Her mother opened the door and stepped aside for her to go in first. Kagome took the invitation in silence. Upon entering, she immediately noticed the strong scent of incense in the air. Her chest tightened as the smell thickened with every step inside. She placed her shoes neatly at the entrance and made her way to the living room. On a shelf opposite her television, a picture of her smiling grandfather was framed behind three used up incense. A thin smoke still rose from the remaining bit of the center one. 'mom must have lit those before she went to pick me up,' she glanced back to her mother who closed her eyes sadly.
Kagome made her way to the portrait and took three incenses from the side. "Jii-chan…" she bit her lips.
"Why are you here?"
"You called me here."
She recalled.
"You're on your own now."
'Grandpa, when you said those words to me,' she knelt down and took her first bow, 'were you sad, or were you…'she took her second, 'were you smiling like you are in your picture,' she lowered for her third but could not bring herself back up. Tears overflowed despite the fact that she was trying to control herself. She felt her mother's hand against her back. 'waratte tara iina (I hope you were smiling.)' "Jii-chan," she managed through her chokes. Her fingers dug into the tatami,
"Sis?" she heard a young call and turned to it.
"Neechan! (Sis!)" Souta dashed across the room and dove into his sister, nearly tipping the girl over, "You're awake, you're finally awake! I thought you would never wake up!"
She felt slightly winded at first, half from the impact and half from her unstable breathing but her expression softened as she placed a hand on her brother's head. "Come on, stop crying. You're the man of the house now," she whispered calmly. She was still sad but seeing her brother crying against her had somehow allowed her to retrieve her breath.
"This is an exception!" Souta gurgled.
"Gomen, Souta," she pressed her forehead against her brother.
She lowered herself on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Beside her laid an empty shoebox where she had stored all the pictures she took in the feudal era. Everything that she thought she did in the past year had vanished like it never happened; as though it never existed; like a very long…dream. 'Neither mom nor Souta knows anything about the feudal era,' she sighed in her mind, glancing sideways to the shoe box. The image of Inuyasha before their final depart came back to her. The moist texture of his lips seemed to linger on hers as the memory flourished her mind but it did not last long. 'Something must have happened in the underworld but what? Why does no one remember. Even all the pictures I stored have disappeared like...like it was a dream,' she immediately shook the thought from her mind, 'NO! It wasn't a dream, it can't have been!''Just in case…I love you.'
To her, that was the last thing she remembered. She did not even remember losing consciousness. It was as though she was in the underworld one second and waking up on a hospital bed the next. In fact, being told that everything she experienced was a dream made her feel, ironically, like she was in a dream right now.'Just in case…'
The words clicked something inside her. "Had he known?" she gasped.
Kagome dashed down the stairs, flipping on a jacket on a chair on her way out the door. Her heart was racing. She had to be sure. Her brother may have thought of it as an amazing tale of adventure but her mother only thought she was delusional. She needed to prove to herself that she wasn't crazy, that the previous year did happen. There was only one place to look for her answer.
"Kagome?! Where are you going?" her mother asked worriedly.
"Sorry mom, but I have to make sure," she snapped.
"Make sure about what? The feudal era?"
"Yes the feudal era."
"I can't let things end this way," she placed a hand on the doorknob, "I know mom. Even I can see how crazy my story sound now that I hear myself telling it. But I still need to make sure…I just gotta make sure!"
She had unintentionally bolted the door open loudly but she did not turn back. She didn't know what she would find at where she was going but she knew it was the only place to look for it; whatever it was. Her shadow glided past her after every light post she ran by. It was still early into the night but the winter sun had completely set and the overcast above blocked out the evening stars. The chill in the atmosphere made her think that maybe bolting out of her house in a fall jacket with her pyjamas underneath was not such a great idea. The steps came up but she was beginning to feel out of breath. 'No way, how am I so out of shape?' she gave a grunt at the bottom of the stairs and looked up. Slowing her pace, she speed-walked her way up. Somewhere in the distance, a bell-tower echoed eight times. She closed her eyes as she climbed the last few steps then reopened them after a deep breath, taking in the whole shrine at once. Whatever it was that she was looking for, she had not found it yet. She made her way toward the tiny hut that sat on the corner of the shrine. The darkness was unsettling. After all the ambush she's experienced, her body naturally put her on alert at night. The wooden steps creaked with each step. The wooden beam that served as a lock to the door seemed to have been removed recently. 'Grandpa…' she closed her eyes and bowed before taking off the beam.
There was a loud groan when the door opened like something in a slow motion horror movie. It was pitch black inside. Reaching into her jacket pocket for her cell phone, she flipped it open and flashed inside. Nothing, just an empty room with an old dried up well in the middle. 'Well, what was I expecting?' she shrugged. Her steps seemed to get amplified by cozy space of the hut as she made her way inward. Reaching above the well, she paused for a moment and bent her phone downwards. With a slow exhale, she looked inside. Nothing. The 15foot well shot straight down to a flat bottom of dry sand. Her eyes narrowed.
"Kagome?" she heard her mother's voice behind her.
"Mom?!" the teen jumped.
"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you," her mother replied.
"You okay sis?" Souta peeped from the side of his mom.
"Souta, you're here too."
"Well, you just ran out of the house. I thought you were going to disappear again."
Kagome smiled, "I'm sorry Souta. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere…anymore," she whispered the last word so only she could hear it.
"Did you…find what you wanted?" her mother asked.
Kagome stood silent for a long time, looking back at the old well without any movement. A wind blew through the entrance and creaked the door. Turning back, she nodded with a, "un".
Their walk back was quiet like her ride home from the hospital. Her brother was the first to break the silence. "Hey sis," he whispered carefully.
"What's up Souta?" Kagome smiled.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked innocently.
"Of course I am," she said as cheerfully as she could. It only made her voice sound more fake, "I guess I'm just a bit tired and confused. Weird seeing how I've slept for a year already huh," she joked, "but yeah, I'm fine…hahaha…"
"But then, why are you crying?" he asked.
"Eh?!" a look of surprise dawned on the girl's expression as she brought a hand to her cheeks. Tears were streaming from her eyes and she had not even noticed. "What, no, this is just…haha…I don't know…why…it won't stop…haha…"
"Hello, Higurashi residence," Kagome's mother answered, "Kagome? Yeah..uh huh…so…You got in?!! That's wonderful! My Kagome, a Toudai (UofTokyo) student. I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks mom, what about Souta. He should know the results today too right?" Kagome asked from the other end.
"Yes, I just got a call from him an hour ago and he got in too. Keishikou with Megumi-chan! He told me how they were going to go celebrate at Osaka tonight. What about you, are you going to come home tonight?"
"Yeah. I'm going to celebrate with some friends in the afternoon but I'll be home before supper time."
"Oh, I'll be sure to prepare a feast for you when you get back then."
"Thanks mom, I'll see you tonight."
"Ok, jyane Kagome."
Five years has now passed since Kagome's awakening from her comma. Being a year behind all her other friends earned her a fair share of hardships on its own but she was now becoming a University student. She received a few love letters and proposals throughout the years but she had turned all of them down. She knew she was probably dragging things out a bit too long. She had decided never to speak of the feudal era again and sealed its memories in the back of her mind. It wasn't like it was a believable story to begin with.
The sun was just beginning to set when Kagome finally made it back to her neighbourhood. She could see the shrine coming up ahead now. Her eyes glimmered. 'Hisashiburi ni ikou kana (maybe I'll visit).' She thought. Ever since she decided to seal everything about the feudal era, she had stopped visiting the shrine. In fact, she had done so much as avoid it. Today however, she felt almost obliged to go. It was just a feeling, a feeling she didn't know how to explain and yet some how nostalgic.
Suddenly all the noise around her faded and a light came from her right. Her eyes widened to find a truck honking its horn as it sped toward her. Her instinct was to run but her legs did not move. The truck drew in closer, screeching its breaks. It was obvious that it wasn't going to stop in time but her legs still did not move. She closed her eyes and prepared her self. A hard shove knocked her from her side and she felt herself land on something unexpectedly soft but she was still too stunned to move.
"Hey…" a voice rung harshly at her.
Kagome did not react.
"Hey!" it rung again.
The girl opened her eyes and found two other staring back at her. "You're pretty fat despite how you look aren't you," the voice had a mocking tone to it that felt unwantingly familiar.
Kagome jumped off and looked back. The truck swerved a bit before it retrieved its balance ahead. She saw the driver watching the two from the side mirror with a relieved look. A sudden jolt of irritation zapped the girl's nerves. "Wait a minute, who are you calling fat!" she demanded.
"You, You stupid wench! You could have been killed back there, didn't your mom teach you that you have to look both ways before crossing the street!" the boy shouted back.
"wen…" something clicked inside the girl as she examined the boy in front of her. The unexpected revalation was something she could not have been prepared for. Tears built on the corners of her eyes as she continued to stare blankly at the boy's face.
"He..hey…are you crying…uh…(crap)," the boy sat up.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
"Inuyasha nano? (Are you Inuyasha?)" the tears finally over flowed.
"Hey I don't know what you're talking about but I think you've got the wrong person. My name is Shinji. I don't know what shit you got with this Inuyasha guy but don't cry it out on me."
"Shinji…" a look of disappointment crossed the girl's eyes.
'What the hell is her problem,' the boy raised a brow.
"I'm…I'm sorry. Thank you for saving me," Kagome bowed formally. Something sparkled, making her snap her head back up. 'What was that?' she focused onto the boy. It was faint but she saw it, a small light on the boy's left chest, right around where his heart would be. 'Nani? (What?)…is that…it can't be…' "The shikon jewel," she gasped.
"Excuse me?" Shinji looked up. 'What is wrong with this girl. I just moved to this neighborhood and there's already wierd things happening.'
'Could he be…' "I'm sorry, my name is Kagome," she extended a hand. Shinji took it but winced when he stood up.
"Are you hurt?"
"Nah, just twisted my ankle slightly when I fell."
"Don't worry about it," Shinji said, slapping some dirt off his pants, "But you said you're name was Kagome?"
"Yes, what about it?"
Shinji seemed to think for a bit but gave a shrug. "Never mind, your name just sounded vaguely familiar for some reason."
Kagome smile, "I see."
Noticing the small slip of paper in the girl's hands, Shinji raised a gave a surprised nod. "You got into Toudai huh," he said with an impressed look, "congratulations."
"Thank you."
"I guess I'll be seeing you around campus then," Shinji smirked before turning and walking off.
The vision of the smirk overlapped in her mind. For the next few seconds, Kagome felt a new numbness in her limbs watching the boy walk away from her slowly. "Inuyasha…" she whispered. "Inuyasha!" she shouted running toward him.
The End!
Thank you for reading. This story has come to an end. It's been a long wait but I hope you're all still there. As for writing a sequel, I really have not decided yet. I have a vague outline of what a sequel to this story may be like but that's about it. In the mean time, please check out Lunar Requiem for that is my next fiction that I will complete. I left a small gap between the last chapter and this chapter. I will leave that to your imagination :-p.
Thank you again to everyone who have supported me throughout the story. I will resubmit edited versions of all chapters in the near future as well.
Until next fic

text: By a real professional. I am confident that this timestudy will be every bit as fair and accurate as all the others that I have had. I liked the fact that the I.E. person who rode with me didnt talk too much. She did hold me up a few times by being a bit slow to fasten her seatbelt....so I am sure my sup will accuse me of "milking it" once the results come in.

Here are some of the projects I've had a leadership role in:
I was one of the lead organizers for No Games Chicago. We successfully opposed Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics. I was also a spokesperson and maintained the web site. I am publishing a book about the campaign:
The ITRC (Illinois Information & Technology Resource Center) Community Technology Center Accelerator Project. I created this program of community technology centers for the ITRC (now called Lumity) in 2001 when I was part of the Mayor's Committee on the Digital Divide. Some 23 community groups received funding, technical assistance and equipment through this program, which received over $1 million in support funding.
The Peoples Housing Community Arts Program. I was hired by Peoples Housing, a community development organization in north Rogers Park, Chicago, in 1993 to create an arts program. Over three years I built an innovative program that combined the arts, training and micro-enterprise. The program was recognized by the national office of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and was funded locally by The MacArthur and Community Trust Foundations. Download a PDF description of the work we did.
The Chicago Young Playwrights Festival at Pegasus Players. I created this program when I was the Managing Director at Pegasus Players in 1986. I produced 30 shows there and pioneered innovative co-production strategies. Twice during my tenure we had three shows running at the same time. We started what became the League of Chicago Theatres Co-op ad program. But the YPF remains one of my proudest professional accomplishments. Over the years OVER 10,000 one-act plays have been written for the festival by local teens. Many of the young playwrights have gone on to artistic , teaching and nonprofit careers. In 2006 The W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded Pegasus $375,000 to expand the festival. 2016 marks the 29th season!
The Festival celebrated its 30th season on January 8, 2017! Read the review in the Chicago Sun-Times.

|Disc golf Plays Global Ambassador in Bringing the World Together for 2008 'Japan Open'
Trying to characterize modern Japanese culture is a challenge, even for the most astute observers. Clearly, there is tremendous respect of the ancient traditions and rituals that were often borrowed from Chinese legends and lore. But, today in Japan, we find that same cultural and national pride generously co-mingling with Western influences. Politics, economics, fashion, and technology are just a few aspects of Japanese life that have adopted western ways. Such an approach is not uncommon throughout the recent history of the island nation, as Japanese identity has generously integrated useful aspects of other cultures, not in an effort to usurp its ancient one, but, paradoxically, as a way to preserve and share it. Conceptually, this is difficult for the western world to understand, and, yet, it has served the island nation well, in its efforts to bring the world to its homeland and thwart its isolationist tendencies evident throughout its history.
Recently, the Japanese have adopted a well-known American sporting icon as a vehicle for the Japanese to continue their appeal to westerners, yet, at the same time, putting on The FRISBEE™ is now capturing the attention of a critical mass of players throughout Japan, as evidenced by the growth of ultimate, disc golf, and Dodgebee. But, as the Japanese have been known to do, they have taken their passion for this imported sporting icon and found a way to share it with the rest of the world. Indeed, this year's 2008 Japan Open Disc Golf Tournament is a great case in point, as Hero Disc has set the bar very high in its efforts to improve upon the event's previous twelve incarnations. Players from 11 different nations have noted the attention to excellence and will be converging on the island nation to compete, as well as commiserate, with their brethren (and sisters) of the sport. The objective, as described by this year's tournament director, John Ahart, is nothing short of an "all encompassing" Japanese experience. their own spin to make it uniquely Japanese.

The knock on frequent flyer mile plans and hotel reward systems is that the points are hard to accumulate and even harder to redeem once you have them. Have you personally found that to be the case? Let us know in the comments below.

How to become a travel blogger in 7 easy steps
Good reading for me and my fellow traveler bloggers. It is a labor of love, but many of us would like to take it to the next level, whatever your personal definition of 'next level' is. I think these rules apply to whatever you blog is about so a good read for ANY blogger. New media, social media, etc. are playing a bigger and bigger part in the spread of information and dare I say it, journalism.
8 Adventurous Ways to Explore Africa
Just saying the word AFRICA is an adventure for some people. But for those who really want to see the continent, there are alot of ways. Tackle it on own or in a group. I like the bush pilot suggestion in the article. What's the quickest way around a large land mass than flying yourself, or cargo or other people?
Five Reasons to Travel Over the Holidays
I've traveled on Thanksgiving before and the planes are much less crowded. By the actual day of the holiday most people are where they want to be. If you can travel on the holiday whether you're going to friends and family or getting away for a real vacation, consider traveling when the crowds are not there. You'll probably have a less hectic experience and can save money.
Southeast Asia: A Beginner's Guide
I didn't think it was possible to sum up a region of the world as diverse as Southeast Asia in a single blog post, but they've done it here. I've mentioned it before but SEAsia is great for all travelers, for women who are nervous about traveling by themselves. Great food, cheap accommodations, warm weather, plenty to do. Not much to NOT like about that part of the world.
Are Passports Required for Cruises?
For US citizens the quick answer: No – but (there's always a but) you will need a passport card. But if you need the passport card, you might as well get the passport book. The passport card is very limited in where you can use it for. Might as well go all in and get the book.
Alumni travel tours link travelers to school spirit and each other
I think this is great idea, especially if you're active with your alma mater, or want to be in the future. You get the benefit of group travel, get to reminisce about old times on campus and can network and connect with fellow alumni. Sounds like an outstanding time.

Question about LG DLE9577 Electric Dryer
Our dryer gets very hot on the back top of the dryer just after seconds of being turned on. We are afraid to run the dryer. We had our vents cleaned but they were not able to finish cleaning them because of wet lint in the vents. We were told to run the dryer until the lint dries so they could finish cleaning the vents. Our dryer had died the morning we were getting our vents cleaned, so we could not test the vents or dry out the wet lint. We got or current dryer from our daugher-in law's grandmother. It has only been used for four months.
Posted by shawnkishia on
It appears that your venting system is restrictive to a point that the hot air coming from the exhaust of the dryer cannot get outside due to excessive lint in the line. If possible, can you use a flex line and temporarily vent it out thru a window until your hard-piped vent dries out and can be cleaned properly? These dryers have thermal overloads to shut them down if they get too hot but since you mentioned the heat was near the top in the back.. I would make sure the power cord connections are tight.. ( do this by unplugging the dryer from the wall receptacle) the open the access cover were the cord enters the back of the drier.. then use a screwdriver and and make sure all 3 or 4 wire terminals are tight. A poor or loose contact there is resistive and may get hot enough to cause a fire. Make sure to remove or disable power BEFORE servicing this area.. Hope this helps..

Hi there, I'm Steven Lareau, a digital artist now residing in Clinton with my lovely wife. I was born and raised in Southern California, and lived there until graduating High School in 1975. I packed up and headed to the Chicago area, where I met my future wife. We moved to the Knoxville area to get away from the brutal Midwest winters, as arthritis and cold weather are a bad combination. We're now living in beautiful East Tennessee, and after living in suburbia my entire life, this suits us just fine.
I got into digital art by accident, quite literally. I had a life changing injury at 35 years of age, leaving me disabled and living with chronic pain. I found I was unable to sleep for more than a few hours a day, so I had a lot of free time to kill. I inherited a computer, and I soon figured out how to work with digital graphics. I've always been a highly creative type, but never did much in the way of actual artwork. But this computer opened doors I never knew were even there, and the more I started experimenting, I found that as I worked on my art, I could get lost for hours at a time, which was a great distraction. It allowed me a somewhat bizarre escape from the reality that was forced on me.
A friend gave me a freeware DOS program, Fractint, that generated these freaky cool things called Fractals, and that lit my creative fire. Keep in mind- I got into this when my inherited computer was a 286 SX, which meant that it was a stripped down model that didn't even have a math co-processor chip, which made doing anything graphics, much less math related, an insane process. That computer ran at 8 MHz, 12 MHz in "turbo mode"- although the only difference I ever noticed was the little indicator light flashed more often. That computer had a grand total of 2 megs of system ram, and the monitor was only able to display a total of 16 colors. Needless to say, trying to do anything on that computer was a lesson in patience. But the more I sat there staring at the little horizontal line crawling down the screen, drawing little colored pixels as it went, I drawn further in. I soon immersed myself in fractals, but eventually branched out into all things graphics related. I've done everything from digital image compositing and manipulations, 3D images and animation, and lately I've come full circle- I'm back to working with Fractals.
I've had no training on any of this- computers, art, web site design, 3D stills and animation, music and video editing software, none of it. I'm entirely self taught, as I've developed a crazy skill during my life at being able to fly by the seat of my pants with almost everything I've ever set my mind to doing. So when you view my work, this is entirely my own, without any outside influence at all in the way of instruction or proper learning. I just go with what feels right, what looks good to my eye, and so far, it's served me well. There's also a little secret I'll let you in on- I am horribly colorblind. I have no idea what you see in my creations, I go by what looks good to me. I'm amused by the fact that I'm creating things that people tell me are nice to look at, but I have absolutely no idea what any of this looks like to the rest of the world. I guess I've gone to the school of hard knocks, I've learned the hard way of doing things, and I've paid my dues, in spades. Couple that with computers that fight me every step of the way, doing things like rebooting over and over for no reason, hard drives going up in smoke, CD Roms filled with artwork suddenly made unreadable, losing years worth of work, it's pretty amazing I can get anything done.
I use software that many others use, but I like to do things the software was never intended to do. I use a 3D program called Bryce for a lot of my abstract art, even though it was designed to render realistic looking landscapes. Landscapes bored me pretty quickly, so I started experimenting with other ways of using the software, and I was soon creating abstract images. I love creating things that are far removed from what the software was designed to do, that's the challenge for me.
I've spent the last year gearing up to make prints of some of my artwork, and it's involved a lot more time than I expected. I had to build a computer powerful enough to process the huge amount of data needed to make these Fractals. Creating images for print making takes about a week to render. I'm working with very large files, but once they're done, I can make fine art Giclée prints 78 inches by 52 inches wide. Since there are many homes and businesses with ceilings that are higher than they used to be, I can make a print at a larger scale. I have Giclée prints on both fine art watercolor paper and canvas.
I've invested in my own wide format printer, which now gives me total control of the process, from designing the fractal, rendering it, and printing and framing it, ready to hang on a wall. I guess when it comes to things I create, and put my name on, they have to be perfect in every way. I use archival inks and papers and mats, so my work will remain beautiful for many, many years.
If you're unfamiliar with them, fractals are patterns found in nature, and you'll see shapes that resemble flowers, lightning, solar flares, and more in my work. These images are, in essence, truly organic in form. I'm able to manipulate them to some extent, changing the viewing angle as well as the coloration in each fractal, and with some pieces, this process can take weeks. Seeing them on a computer monitor is one thing, but seeing them in full, glorious color, behind glass, is even better.
My main body of work can be found here at Hilltop Design. My artwork is displayed in galleries, which contain thousands of images for visitors to view. Going through my galleries, you'll see the wide range of my work. I'm never content to find a formula and stay with it, I'm constantly pushing myself to experiment with different ways of manipulating images.
And for the purists out there, you might be interested in knowing that aside from very minor tweaks to the gamma and brightness, these are pure, unaltered renders. In the thousands of images on my site, there's maybe a dozen in total that have had ANY alterations done to them. I do everything inside the software that creates them. I figured anyone can render out a lot of crap, then start layering and changing things around in Photo Shop. I find the greatest challenge in learning to use the software to the fullest extent possible, so once they're rendered, they're finished pieces. I have been known to drive myself crazy with this sort of thing, but it's made me push myself even harder, which has resulted in more beautiful artwork.
I've designed quite a few items with my artwork over the years, from trinket boxes with my artwork on the lid, to calendars, and I'm also putting together iPod cases and Laptop covers with my artwork on them. If you haven't seen all the things I've made available, head over to my new site, Unquiet Visions, linked below, which I built as a place to purchase prints and boxes and other goodies.

Economics has assumed a dominant role in shaping our modern world. In this book, Donald Hay develops a critique of economics today in the light of a Christian understanding of truth. The author's purpose is to equip the reader with arguments and principles with which to confront new economic problems, as well as to analyse our present situation. Case studies take the arguments and apply them to particular areas of economic analysis. Amongst influential cases illuminated by Donald Hay's study are the free market of capitalism and the planned economy of socialism. He analyses macro-economic policy in the advanced industrial economies, the vexed question of relations between rich and poor nations, and the consequences of economic growth. This book gives an exposition of economics as it is practised in the West. It also provides an insight into the underlying beliefs of economists when they pronounce on public policy issues which affect all of our lives. Donald Hay is a Fellow and Tutor in Economics at Jesus College, Oxford, and a Reader in the Church of England.

One of the biggest problems covering New York Comic Con has always been the huge crowds of other photographers. When you're on assignment, it can be difficult creating original imagery when you've got a swarm of other shooters firing away over your shoulder.
Over the last few years, the problem has, for lack of a better word, metastasized. Or at least reached critical mass. Like previous years, I brought a studio backdrop, but this year I planned to do something a little different. Instead of simply putting up a white backdrop and shooting against that, I brought my Lastolite Studio Tent. Sadly, Javits Center Security toughened their rules for shooting inside the convention center, and had me break the tent down almost immediately.
I spent about a half hour fuming, then decided to press on and move forward. One thing I wanted to avoid was simply repeating the shots I took last year by simply shooting against the concrete walls. First, Javits sold ad space on those walls, vastly limiting my available shooting area. Second, it'd bring me right back to my original problem.
Thankfully, the NYCC press people were incredibly helpful. With a little bit of work, they were able to help me find a great location where I could set up my lights and gear. Additionally, since the location was very much out of the way, I could bring my subjects there and shoot in relative quiet.
For this setup, I used a single Glow ParaPop softbox, an SB900, Flashpoint Ringflash and several Godox X1n triggers.
There are several lessons I've learned from covering NYCC.
1) Plans are great, but don't die on the mountain with them when they fall apart. Grab some coffee, push forward and conquer.
2) Crowds are the devil when you're trying to capture intimate portraits.
3) Don't make any promises you don't intend to keep. If you tell somebody you're going to send them a copy of the photo, do it. NYCC brings repeat visitors, if you act like a tool people are going to remember that.
4) PR people get a lot of flak (sometimes deservedly so) but they can also be your best friends when you're stuck in a hole. They're doing difficult work, with a thousand different voices demanding their attention.

We would greatly appreciate help from you experts!
My wife, baby (1 yr) and I are going to SF for the first time. We will be on foot and want to stay in a safe area, with great walking range site-seeing, and most important, great cheap-eats area.
To give some of you a better idea of what atmosphere we love, our favorite trip is the Denman Street / Stanley Park neighborhood in Vancouver Canada for all these same reasons!
We are considering staying in 3 different neighborhoods but don't know which is best for this type of trip:
1) Union Square neighborhood (around were Powell and Stockton cross Sutter and Bush). Seems very central but maybe too much of a business/financial area??
2) North of Chinatown (were Columbus and Broadway cross). It doesn't seem too dense for a mainly foot trip???
3) Fisherman's Wharf (were Powell and Beach cross). I understand it may be too touristy???

What to Look For?
Even with the list as well as the tips and tricks we've provided it might still be difficult for you to choose and narrow down your choices. Whether you have your top choices and can't seem to narrow it down to a single one or you already have your top pick; you should still check out the qualities that great crutches should have. This way you'll know that you're getting one that's of a great quality. Below is a list of the qualities that would help you look for the best crutches for you and your needs.
- Type – There are two main types of crutches: standard underarm crutches and forearm crutches. The underarm crutches are the common ones we see which goes under the underarm and has handles where your hands rest and lift you up. It's also called auxiliary crutches and usually are made of wood or aluminum. This is usually used by those with temporary injuries like a broken foot or knee. Forearms crutches, on the other hand, are recommended for those who have additional body injuries or those who would be using crutches for a longer time. It has cuffs that goes around your forearms for added support and less strain your upper body.
- Comfort – Since you'd be using these crutches for prolonged periods of time, you should definitely consider whether or not it's comfortable to use. If it's an underarm crutch, you should look for something which has a cushion such as a foam on the handle as well as the upper part which goes under your underarms. If it's a forearm crutch, the cuffs shouldn't be gripping your elbows too tight and should still give you enough space so your forearms won't be too sweaty.
- Size – The size of the crutches that you'll get should be fitted to you. This would make you less vulnerable to additional injuries and also help in your overall comfort. Having the right sized crutches also helps you have better posture since you won't be crouching if its too short or tilting if its too tall. The size also dictates the strength you'd need to use the crutches. The taller and heavier it is, the more upper body strength you'll exert just to move from one location to the other.
- Good quality crutch tips – Having crutch tips which are of great quality is a must they give the initial support and lift you need to walk. The size of the crutch tip is also important. Bigger crutch tips offers more stability than smaller ones because have a wider base that's in contact with the ground. You should also check what type of crutch tip your crutches have. Of course there are the normal ones that aren't too special, but there are also those that have springs to help you walk easier and with less effort.
Overall, crutches are great to have. They help you be mobile even if you have a problem with one or even both of your feet. It gives you independence and helps you not to rely on other people while you're injured. Unlike wheel chairs, crutches exercise your limbs so your legs would still get normal circulation and hopefully this would help you to recover and get on your feet again. Crutches also exercise your arms and give you good upper body strength.
Hopefully, with the tips and tricks we've provided as well as the list above that you'd be able to choose the best crutches for you. Just keep in mind that when making a smart purchase you should consider the totality of the product. You should look at how long it lasts and not just the price. We know, that the budget is the most limiting factor when purchasing crutches but it's cheaper in the long run if you'll get one that'll last and is trusted by fellow customers. This would ensure that you're getting something which satisfies the needs of customers like you.

In which an interesting time travel puzzle is created, and then ruined.
The Doctor's voice can be heard in the darkness. Something about a bio-temporal chamber. When 'she' (who is clearly Kes, for reasons I will mention in a moment) wakes up, there are new adult crew, including a science officer with Ocampa ears who says 'she' is her mother. Oh, and the Doctor has hair. When they bring the bio-temporal chamber online, there's a white flash, and the youngest person present brings Grandma Kes a gift.
Sadly, Old Kes either has dementia, or is a victim of whatever weird time shenanigans necessitated the coining of the term 'bio-temporal chamber, and does not recognize her grandson Andrew. Oh hey, the Doctor has a name now, as well. Doctor Van Gogh. She barely even recognizes Sick Bay, though, so dementia is clearly at play in some capacity. She also seems to be remembering bits and pieces of things out of order. Maybe she's aging backwards. Also, Chakotay is captain and Kes is nine years old and at the end of her life, in rapid decay – she was perfectly healthy a few weeks ago, but the Ocampa end-0f-life decay is exceptionally rapid. Kes suddenly gets an intense anti-fever, has another flash, and wakes up in her bed with slightly less age-makeup on. So definitely aging backwards now.
She's in her quarters, and her daughter and grandson are finishing their present. The mom sends Grandson Andrew to go get Kes' husband and son-in-law, so we're going to get to see which of the crew was willing to boink Kes' daughter. Judging by Andrew, I'm guessing it was Harry Kim. And judging by Paris' off-screen voice in an earlier scene, I'm guessing Linis is Tom's daughter too. So since Kes is obviously aging backwards now because of the bio-temporal chamber, I'm sure we'll get to see the scene where Tom is pointedly cleaning a phaser rifle while Harry asks his best friend for permission to date his four-year-old daughter.
Oh look I was right.
Among the indicators of aging, by the way, are that every scene, Doctor Van Gogh keeps talking about how she's lost n% of her memory engrams, where n is a progressively lower number the farther back into the past we go. Now the Doctor starts to discuss his experimental treatment to use time travel to de-age her body and extend her life another year. Also, Harry tries to calm his wife down by explaining that if she was in the final stages of dementia, he wouldn't respect her bodily autonomy either. She experiences another cold flash and vanishes back to her ninth birthday, at which Neelix is a Starfleet officer, or at least a full crewmember, and a security officer, now that Tuvok has been made Commander.
Kes is starting to move backwards into lucidity, and figuring out that something is going on. She gets the Doctor to believe her by mentioning the bio-temporal chamber, which the Doctor only came up with that morning. Based on the information at hand, they have to work hard to come up with an alternative hypothesis to the obvious one. Kes' next plan is to backtrace through the records of her life to see if she can piece anything else together. She finds a trace of radiation poisoning that happened at the start of Voyager's Year of Hell, as it came to be known, when they were under constant attack by the Krenim and almost all died. A lot of people did die, including Torres. Her death sent Paris right into Kes' arms, which gives us an increasingly narrowing timeline for when this happens, assuming Kes doesn't alter the timeline when this entire episode gets erased from continuity once they fix the problem. Thus, I find it somewhat difficult to muster up enthusiasm for the events presented.
The Krenim attack used Chroniton Torpedoes, which passed through the shields because they were in a state of temporal flux, and she got chroniton-radiation poisoning. Right as they go to explain this to the Doctor, Kes flashes back to the birth of her grandson Andrew, and will have to explain the whole thing again. Thankfully, we skip the part where everyone doesn't believe her. This is in part because too young to have dementia now and knows most of what's going on. Now, Doctor Van Gogh finds residual chroniton radiation, which was activated by the bio-temporal chamber. Now that they know this, you'd think that the Doctor could decide not to continue with the treatment, but that's not exciting, so instead they'll purge Kes of the radiation using the specific setting and frequency of the torpedo radiation. Since they don't have that information, Kes will just have to get it on her trip back and hope that she doesn't overshoot Year of Hell completely. In the service of keeping Kes around until they can make some progress, Doctor Van Gogh (who doesn't actually have his name yet, and may have just settled on it instead of Mozard because Kes blurted it out) shuts her up in a containment chamber. It doesn't work, but this time we can watch her fade out, and wake up on a shuttlecraft, having her baby.
They are on their way back to Voyager, which is under attack and badly damaged. This is, in fact, the Year of Hell itself, which is super convenient. Assuming they can figure out how to get the right scans this time, they'll be able to solve the issue on her next jump. But unfortunately, before that can happen, she makes her jump to the past, back to a time when Torres and Janeway were alive, right at the start of Year of Hell, and Kes gives them all the information she's gained from the future. Oh, and I guess I spoke too soon when I said Torres and Janeway were alive. Kes brings a snippet back which allows Voyager to target the torpedo launcher and destroy it, only with more science.
Also, it's worth noting now that if Kes hadn't told them how to destroy the launcher, Voyager wouldn't have survived. Which means that the first time around, Kes would have had to already been 'overwritten' by her future backwards-aging self in order for Voyager to have a future where she gets irradiated and sent backwards to deliver the message. And yet, every time she flashed forwards, she had to re-explain her temporal displacement to an increasingly-disbelieving audience even though by the end of it everyone should have been all "oh, this is when the temporal flashbacks that you've been having for your entire life start, isn't it?" All I'm looking for is a little internal consistency here, is that too much to ask?
The good news is that this is when Kes got irradiated, and she has a working tricorder and is therefore able to scan herself and memorize the readings, so we don't have to rely on anything so banal as "tell Janeway to go around the territory full of hostile xenophobic time-travel murder aliens." Instead, she'll go towards the radiation, thereby exposing herself to the massive dose that the bio-temporal chamber will later trigger, and probably flash back to earlier right before she dies of radiation poisoning. Frankly, she should isntead just be lucky that the jeffries tube it's in is plugged from vacuum by the torpedo, despite appearances to the contrary. The good news is that she gets the reading before passing out and flashing backwards. Now that they're pre-Year of Hell, six years before her death, we get a recap of the whole thing, and Torres explains that they're going to construct another bio-temporal chamber, blast her with calibrated anti-chronitons, and finally finish this massive gave of time-travel-pong where Kes is the ball.
Kes does take the opportunity to tell Janeway about the Krenim and the timetable (six months) when Voyager will enter that region. So look out for that. Also, in the bio-temporal chamber, the Doctor says that Kes' body temperature is at 12 degrees. I'm assuming Celsius and that reflects a lowered body temperature for the anti-chroniton treatment (which would explain her suddenly lowered body temperature before the time-flashes, sort of) but I'll let you do the conversion yourself. Even still, she should probably be out cold, not conscious and lucid, for the treatment.
The treatment almost works, but Kes flashes backwards before it can be completed, to when Neelix is bargaining for passage on Voyager. Before she can explain, she flashes again, and is back in the Ocampa compound, so young she has a different actress. Then back to her birth, leading to a 24th century revival of the 1989 'classic' Look Who's Talking. Her next series of flashes has her slowly going back to fetal development, then bouncing forwards again, only with events playing out slightly differently, until she comes to in sick bay again, finishing the treatment and her body temperature stabilizing at 16.3 degrees, and stable in time too.
In the aftermath, Neelix gets the idea, from Kes, to become a security officer. Most of the crew agree that they don't want to know gossip about their personal lives, but she does agree to make a report on the Krenim, leaving the party to do so, because "there's no time like the present."

About me……
Welcome to my blog. This is the place to visit if you're interested in following me and my photographic exploits.
A unique opportunity as a traveling spouse (kept man) led me to a foreign country and it gave me the perfect excuse to capitalize on my passion and hobby and retrain as a photographer.
Having previously trained in the Construction industry I have a keen interest in Architectural photography. I enjoy capturing the progression of a project and experiencing the final product which captures all the dedication and effort that went into creating it.
My other particular area of interest is Sports photography. I am a keen cyclist, both on the road and off, and combining two of my passions is perfect for me. Since becoming a photographer I have started attending competitions and events with thousands of dollars worth of camera gear in lieu of thousands of dollars worth of cycling gear!!
I hope you enjoy my blog. Please keep popping by to see what I'm up to.

Dressed-down, dressed-up… Which of Vidya Balan's recent sari appearances was your favorite?
We were pleasantly surprised by her look in the purple sari at the Star Guild Awards. Is that a different style of blouse that we (finally) spot on her? Baby steps! ;) The blouse may not be our cup of tea but we do appreciate the fact that she changed things up however teeny tiny a change it may be! Besides, she looked great in that purple Sabya sari!
