K.P.P Nambiar, renowned industrialist and founding Chairman of KELTRON died, on 1st July 2015 in Kerala.
Long back in fifties, beyond the inception of electronics and communication market in India, Kunnath Puthiyaveetil Padmanabhan Nambiar, a young man of 22, migrated to England with a sum of 7000 Rupees in his pocket. By sheer hard work, he could achieve huge success in England yet he returned to India in 1963 and began his career as a professor at Delhi IIT.
Later he worked in electronics departments in various firms including Tata Services and Philips and finally he began his dream project Kerala State Electronic Development Corporation, fondly known as KELTRON. Under his guidance, KELTRON became one of the pioneering electronic brands made in India. KELTRON continues to be one of the leading electronic corporations in India, standing steady in the changing market trends across the century. KELTRON is India's first and the largest electronics corporation employing over two thousand.
In 1975, Nambiar became the first Indian technocrat to be the secretary in Industry department of Kerala Government. During 1987-89 he was an advisor in the Central Government Electronics department. In 1987, another brainchild of Nambiar, Technopark Thiruvananthapuram became a reality.
He was also the founding chairman of Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K).
For his contributions, the nation awarded him Padma Bhushan in 2006.
Nambiar was a visionary whose business sense included a steady and sustainable progress which would be a torchlight for the current quick buck start-ups that fade in the market fluctuations. Today we live in a generation where not the value but the price matters. Nambiar gained success long back when India was not open to foreign investment which might be why the firm remains devoid of corruption and survives in the dangerous waters of 21st century market.
He belongs to an era of businessmen who had a firm root in ethics which is why he started his business venture in Kerala, his homeland putting aside a safe and secure life opportunity abroad. Nambiar's footsteps would be an inspiration to every wannabe businessman who wishes to create and innovate.

All the talk around here in the news is about IKE hitting our area, and that definitely brings up a lot of memories from the period of my diagnosis.
Every few days, I find myself thinking, "What was happening a year ago today?"
Scans. Tests. Surgeries. More scans.
We are preparing to go out of town on vacation next week, and once again, I was wondering what anniversaries I would be celebrating then.
And then
I realized
that I could
take this picture
on the anniversary of my first day of chemo.
Pretty cool, huh?

Questions About Lync Presence (Now Skype For Business)
How do I get rid of the Out of Office note in Lync?
If your Lync account is synced via Microsoft Exchange Server to your Outlook calendar, an out-of-office message appears in Lync after you turn on the Out of Office reply in Microsoft Outlook. To get rid of the out-of-office message display in Lync, you need to turn off the Out of Office reply in Outlook:
Click the File tab in Outlook, and then click the Turn off button in the Automatic Replies panel.
Note: It may take several minutes for the message to disappear in Lync.
What do the settings on the Status options window mean?
On the Status options window, you can change the number of minutes that elapse before your presence status changes to Inactive and Away, if you don't want to use the default settings. You can also have Lync automatically detect when you are sharing information from this computer. Lync will set your status as Presenting and block others from sending messages to you during that time.
To set these presence status options:
In the Lync main window, click the Options button, and then click Status.
Click the up and down arrows to specify the number of minutes before your presence status changes to Inactive.
Click the up and down arrows to specify the number of minutes before your presence status changes to Away.
Click the appropriate button to control general status (override default settings or accept them), and then click OK.
Select the checkboxes labeled Show me as Do Not Disturb when I present my desktop and Show me as Do Not Disturb when my monitor is duplicated to let others know not to interrupt you when you are giving a presentation or otherwise collaborating online from your Lync-enabled computer.
How can I give people more information about my status?
Although the presence states in Lync are pre-set, you can always write a personal note at the top of the Lync main window to provide more details about where you are and what you're doing. Just click the note display area and type over the note that's currently displayed.

To My "Cousin"....
VP at
??? Do YOU want to know why I called you a "Double Agent" on my Team Tavares page that I posted a LONG time ago. Either you can call me 615-415-6675 or I can post it on my blog.
I'm giving YOU the Freedom to Choose.
??? How do you like Atlanta.
The French consulate is there. I'm going to be sending them a certified letter. Not about you about something I'm upset about. The French government has "indirectly" stolen intellectual property from America.
This happened when those connected to Carlos Ghosn the Chairman of Renault "stole" my thoughts.
I did NOT get paid for my work that was used by the company that is considdered "state owned" and America did not collect any taxes from me due to the fact I was not paid. A person needs to get paid in order to pay taxes. Once Renault/The French pay me for my copy written ideas I will file the forms and pay the appropriate taxes on my income.
So France has stolen from the American government.
FYI I had sent a lot of my "thoughts" before I put them on my website to Mr. Tavares directly. Someone on his staff forwarded the good idea's to people. I was told this and then for my protection i put some of the ideas on my blog. Still many of my concepts were used that were NOT of this blog. Ones that I emailed. OVER 50 of my "thoughts" were used by Nissan and Renault. Renault had 1/2 dozen of my idea's on their website. FOr the record one or two could be a coincidence but TOO many of my "thoughts" were used. If needed a judge can determine the damages. For the record I do NOT want this.
Let's reword this:
Too many of my idea's sent to Nissan made it to Paris. ??? Could there be a "spy" at Nissan. OMG someone call Le Monde
Basically, Carlos Ghosn's people took "thoughts" from this copy written website and tweaked them. Then Renault created corporate programs, tweaked cars, marketing, etc. based on my work. What's even MORE scandalous is then the people that stole intellectual property then participated in the the elaborate scheme to discredit me by having the police take me to jail 3 times. I lost my American rights because people associated to Carlos Ghosn were corrupt.
What pertains to YOU Mr. Noziere (FYI my "cousin" is in charge of the EV program in the America's who I talked to June 2009 and had met prior) I will not put on my blog if YOU contact me and arrange for a meeting to address "issues" that I have with Renault. YES!!! what I'm doing is an "innocent" form of coercian "simply" to expedite a process that could take a while.
Sir, I think your a decent person I do not think you are a corrupt person. You are just a chess piece in Ghosn's Ponzi scheme.
I want to enjoy my life. Being a whistle blower is miserable. I know it's not nice for me to to tell you I'll post your "wrong doing" if I'm not contacted but years ago I learned that "you have to play ball with people at their level".
Mr. Noziere, kindly I ask for YOU to intervine. What Nissan did to the American taxpayers was morally wrong YOU knew this EV could not be profitable in America because it was too expensive to make. With this generations battery it could NOT be a mass marketed car.
??? Why did Nissan take ALL that money to build a battery plant from hard working American taxpayers.
Sorry Good Ole Boys.... I'm a "credible" former research worker and lets just say that "eye's are open" in my country. There's a LOT on this blog and the reality is indictements are "inevitable". Professionals most likely are following up on my leads.
For the record I don't believe it's a big French conspiracy, I just believe the problem is a few greedy people. They will be "exposed".
??? for Renault and France when are YOU going to "end this". Many American's already "hate" the French. They do NOT know why they feel that way, it's odd.
If this "Ghosn Good Ole Boy" issues continues my fear is that they'll have a "valid" excuse.
That is NOT good for France~Renault~Nissan~ or Me. For i want this OVER quickly. My child has only 1 childhood and already Ghosn's people have made almost 2 years of that difficult for he mommy. I told the truth and I was terrorized.
The American people deserve RESPECT and so do the Japanese people and the citizens of France
Renault!!! Stop the Frenchspiracy. Your hurting too many people,
It's time to "deal with this" .... NOW!!!!
Have a Great Day!!!! Sharyn

Hoa Lu - Trang An TourAmazing boat trip to visit Trang An grottoes
Morning drive to visit Hoa Lu which was the capital city of Vietnam under the Dinh Dynasty between 968 and 980 AD and ancient sanctuaries and tombs can still be seen today. Apart from the historical importance, the area is naturally beautiful, referred to many as the "dry Halong Bay" with limestone peaks and fertile green valleys.
After lunch, take the amazing boat trip to visit Trang An grottoes which is a gathering of 31 valleys, 50 cross-water caves, and home to 600 kinds of flora and over 200 kinds of fauna, many of them in the Red Book of Vietnam. While rowing through Trang An grotto in the quiet, fresh air of the highlands, with only the sound of birds and the oars stirring the clear water and surrounded by magnificent forested mountains upon which graze white goats, visitors enjoy a heaven on earth. The end of the day, drive back to Hanoi. Drop off at your hotel.Hoa Lu - Trang An

Moon Machination
Moon Machination is a newish label from the Northeast with an irreverent and diverse roster of artists. The real standout for me so far is the first 12" from a weirdo group of out-there punkers called St. Dad (co-released with Vinyl Rites and 16OH Records). Cutsey cover aside, these boys create a nasty and snarling racket. Other fine releases include a cassette of the absurd contact mic noise of the legendary Crank Sturgeon and a 7" of the so-annoying-it's-good 90's pop of Lawrence Welks & Our Bear To Cross. Keep an eye out...

It's August, and that means it's time for a new school year. And with a new school year comes the return of high school football.
The long, nine-month wait for some Friday night lights is just about over as many students, parents, and fans will gather across the state of Utah on Friday, August 17 to cheer on their favorite teams and athletes.
Heading into the 2018 football season, Blanding has been abuzz with excitement for this year's squad to take the field, especially after an uncommon 4-7 season a year ago.
Many players from last year's team return with a year of varsity experience under their belts. They've put in time and effort during the off-season to improve and get better.
Off-season leadership has been a key in preparation for the Broncos 2018 campaign.
Although small in numbers (six), this year's seniors have been leading by example and have been working hard through the spring and summer in the weight room, at camps, and 7-on-7 tournaments in hopes of returning the Broncos to the top of the 2A ranks.
This off-season marked a couple of firsts for San Juan, as they traveled to Nephi, UT the last week of June and participated in a full contact team padded camp.
Over 20 Broncos made the journey and took advantage of the opportunity to get better, both as individual athletes and a team.
Then on Thursday, August 9, Coach Barkley Christensen and this year's captains participated in the 2A South Region Media Day in Richfield, UT.
Coach Christensen, Corbin Palmer, Carlos Redd, Landon Pemberton, and Tanner Black fielded questions ranging from what they have done to prepare for the season to what game they are most anticipating.
They all did a great job representing San Juan High and Blanding. If you would like to watch a replay of the 2A South Region Media Day, you can find it at local10.tv.
What to look for in 2018 from the San Juan Broncos:
Head Coach: Barkley Christensen – Second Year (4-7)
Returning Offensive Starters (eight):
Tanner Black – Center. A warrior with great strength; will anchor the offensive line.
Carlos Redd – Slot Receiver. Great hands and loves to compete; will be a tough match-up for opposing defenders.
Corbin Palmer – QB. Has stepped up as a leader, has a big arm, and is one of the fastest athletes on the team.
Randall Flavel – OL. Big and athletic; will be a key part of making the offense go this year.
Isaac Jacobs – OL. Strong and quick; will be a handful for any defender lined up against him.
Ryan Imlay – TE/Slot. Will move from the OL where he started last year; will give Palmer a big, sure-handed target.
Landon Pemberton – Slot Receiver. Smart with a good combination of strength and speed; will be tough in both the run and the passing game.
Shaw Nielson – Wide Receiver. Good route runner with good hands.
Offensive newcomers to watch:
Isaiah Hannigan – RB
Kian Conway – RB
Landon Nielson – OL
Josh Whitehorse – OL
Returning Defensive Starters (six):
Landon Pemberton – OLB. Top returning tackler from 2017 (69 tackles); has a nose for the ball.
Shaw Nielson – FS. Plays smart and puts himself in position to make opposing QBs pay for their mistakes.
Tanner Black – Nose. Great recognition makes offenses wary to run the ball in his direction.
Isaac Jacobs – DE. Will move from DT to DE; has a knack for finding the ball carrier and making plays.
Ryan Imlay – DB. After starting at DE last season, will move to CB where his length and physical play should give opposing players fits.
Carlos Redd – OLB. Plays aggressive and downhill; capable of stuffing the run and defending the pass.
Defensive newcomers to watch:
Porter Ivins – DB
Isaiah Hannigan – MLB
Landon Nielson – DE
Heading into this season, San Juan knows that to be successful they will have to execute better on offense and score with more consistency.
Defensively, the Broncos will have to limit the number of big plays given up to opposing offenses and play with more physicality and effort.
If San Juan can do those things, it should be a great season for the Bronco faithful.
2018 schedule:
Aug. 17 @ South Summit, 5:30 p.m.
Aug. 24 @ Monticello, 7 p.m.
Aug. 31 host Bayfield, CO, 7 p.m.

I am a 26 year old with teenage skin. It's just not fair! When the hormone fairy hits you at age 13, they fail to tell you that maybe, just maybe, those imperfections and annoying spots won't disappear at midnight the day you turn 20. Nope, it is here to stay, and I have to admit, it's partially my own fault. Before blogging my skincare was non existent, in fact the only skincare products I owned were make up wipes (shock, horror!) and some old moisturiser I never used. Recently I've been trying out a few different things off and on, which doesn't really help. You need to find a product and stick to it to really help your skin out. So when Exuviance offered to give me some products designed for oily skin to try out, I couldn't really say no!
The first product I received was the Clarifying Facial Cleaner. I don't find the packaging particularly exciting but it does look rather scientific and high quality. The product its self has no sent and is completely clear, it cleanses your skin without being too harsh. It is not a miracle worker but it defiantly made a difference in clearing my skin. It did leave my skin feeling a little dry but nothing a light moisturiser couldn't fix.
I have to admit, I was sceptical about this product. I thought surly they hadn't made a highly moisturising gel for oily skin? But that's exactly what this Night Renewal HydroGel is! I didn't think it was even possible, but honestly, it is, and it's great! It's a common misconception that oily skin doesn't need to be moisturised. The less you moisturise, the more oil your skin producers. To break this cycle, moisturiser is an important part of any routine, and this is more then just an every day moisturiser. It has a thick gel consistency that feels very nourishing and lightweight, perfect for putting on before bed. Despite my oily skin I still get dry patches, usually around my nose or between my eyebrows, this helped clear it up really quickly.
This is the product I was the least interested in and yet it is the one I now love the most! It's called Matte Perfection and it has made applying my make up so much easier! It is billed as being oil reducing, anti ageing and pore minimising, however what impressed me the most was none of these things. As you may know I love my bright, crazy make up, (especially Sugar Pill shadows), however I have very oily hooded eyelids (sexy I know) so my eye make up always smudges and slides off. However, just a little of this on my eyelids and my skin feels totally different, make up applies and blends much better and it stays!
Find out more about Exuviance on their website! What's your favourite skincare item?
This products were sent to me for review, all opinions are honest and my own.

How to Get Your Groove Back
"Too many of us are hung up on what we don't have, can't have, or won't ever have. We spend too much energy being down when we could use that same energy - if not less of it - doing, or at least trying to do, some of the things we really want to do." Terry McMillan
In the popular book by Terry McMillan, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," the main character has a hard time staying in the moment and her mind is always racing to the things she needs to do, should be doing, or wants to be doing. She laments she is "tired of running, tired of jumping." One description of the movie summarizes both the main plot and describes "groove" in this way:
Stella takes "personal inventory of her life to try to find a balance between her desire for love and companionship, and the responsibilities of mother and corporate executive." Venise Wagner, San Francisco Examiner
Losing your "groove" generally refers to losing your focus, drive, passion, or ability to get the things done that give you pleasure or a sense of meaningful purpose in life. Examples include:
- You are still interested in your partner, but life's distractions keep you from making time for them;
- You still enjoy hobbies but push them aside for other things;
- Your focus or "edge" seems to have softened and you pursue things that bring you pleasure less passionately.
In short, getting your groove back means putting the pleasure back into a duty-driven life. Some might say getting your groove back is just a more poetic way of referring to "work-life balance."
How to Determine If You Are Depressed, or If You've Just Lost Your Groove
One key difference between simply losing your groove and suffering from depression is the degree of your symptoms. If your symptoms keep you from doing the things you want to in life or have caused you to lose desire, or the ability to experience pleasure or joy, you may be suffering from depression. For example, if you are unable to get out of bed in the morning because you are so tired or overwhelmed by life, it could be a sign of depression.
Feeling like you are not getting all out of life that you want can be a depressing thought; you may be frustrated that there are not enough hours in the day, or you feel bound to duty and obligations first, but it does not necessarily mean you are suffering from depression.
If you simply have lost focus, or your life is so cluttered with daily grind items that you cannot seem to get a grip on things, you may just need a new plan for organization, a better support system, or even a life coach. Although a life out of control can be a sign of depression, it can also be a sign your life is just chaotic and disorganized.
Depression often feels overwhelming and is associated with "I can't..." and can lead to intense negative emotions and feelings of guilt or of being powerless. Depression may be triggered by outside events (such as change or loss), an illness, or even hormone imbalances, but it is the forces inside your heart and mind that prevent you from doing or enjoying things in life.
Losing your groove is more along the lines of wanting to get something done, but lacking the motivation, time, or focus. The distractions, forces and pressures of life are the major culprits for not putting your needs first -- you have not necessarily lost your desire to do certain things, you just feel compelled do other things instead.

Those road signs on the interstate can fly by so quickly — especially the ones showing restaurants, lodging, gas and other services at the next exit. That's the problem that iExit aims to solve. This app for iPhone and Android uses GPS to pinpoint your location and then show you which services are at specific interstate exits across the country.
In my family, this would be called the "Dairy Queen Locator."
iExit is GeekWire's App of the Week. With nice clear icons for maximum readability, this app offers the ability to see different services on a map, press to call them, filter to see just a specific type of service (food, lodging, gas, etc.), take notes on each exit, etc.
This app goes for 99 cents for iPhone and iPad, and it's currently free on Android in a limited-time promotion.
In case it's not obvious, you should not use this app when driving. Upon launching, the app requires you to agree to use it only when parked, or with a passenger handling the device.
This app a companion of sorts to last week's selection of traffic and directions app Waze, which we liked primarily because it brings free turn-by-turn directions to the iPhone even before iOS6.
Here's the audio of this week's segment.

Hello again, it's almost spring here in Brisbane Australia, with longer days and much warmer throughout the day. I do love this time of year. All the plants and trees are starting to sprout their new green shoots. I have two port wine magnolias at the front of my house and their drooping with so many beautiful flowers with just the hint of pink on white. And the scent is quite overpowering. I haven't noticed a scent in the past, so I'm feeling particularly lucky this year.
I've been editing this website for nearly six years and as an editor it is expected that you will write an article every week for your readers. I have managed to do just that since October 2007, but last week I messed it up – quite unintentionally I might add. Somehow, I incorrectly entered the posting date and completely missed the deadline. At first I was devastated that I have wrecked my perfect record. But the sky hasn't fallen in, and the world continues to turn regardless, but all the same please accept my apology for my silly boo-boo.

One would not normally associate Cajun and Jewish cooking. At first glance, they would not appear to be that compatible, particularly since Cajun cooking often uses ingredients that are blatantly non-Kosher. There is the Kosher Cajun Cookbook, by Mildred L. Covert and Sylvia P. Gerson, which adapts Cajun classics to conform to the Jewish dietary laws. This chopped liver recipe is much more innovative because it truly combines the texture and traditional Jewish chopped liver with seasonings that never could have been imagined by our Jewish mothers. It has a lot of zip, I promise.
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
3 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
2 Tablespoons of "K Paul's Chicken Magic" Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 pounds of very fresh chicken livers
1 pound of veal liver
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup chicken broth
5 hard boiled eggs
Vegetable oil cooking spray
- Combine the seasoning mix ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl.
Cook the vegetable oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over high heat.
Add 2 cups of the onions, the celery, garlic and 2 Tablespoons of the Cajun seasoning
Stir well and cook for 6 minutes.
Add the remaining 1 cup onions and cook 2 minutes.
Add the veal liver and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the chicken stock and cook 4 minutes.
Stir in the chicken liver and parsley.
Cover the pot and cook over high heat for about 7 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Transfer the livers to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely pureed.
Add the remaining mixture from the pot, the eggs, and the remaining seasoning mix and process until thoroughly blended and creamy.
Spray a bowl or decorative mold with cooking spray.
Turn the live mixture into the bowl and smooth the top
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Unmold and serve with crackers

Thanks to his starring role in Call Me By Your Name and supporting role in Lady Bird, Timothée Chalamet is 2017's breakout star. If you need more evidence: on Monday night, he won the Gotham Awards' Breakthrough Actor award, and on Tuesday he was given the breakthrough performance award by the National Board of Review. However, if you consult publications like The Source or XXL, you'll notice he's absent from their list of best new rappers of 2017. This is understandable, as he has not actually pursued a career as a rapper, something he dabbled in as a high school student. Naturally, Ellen Degeneres, Hollywood's number one gentle teaser of stars, mentioned this when he and Call Me By Your Name Name co-star Armie Hammer appeared on her show today.
Chalamet, now 21, attended New York's LaGuardia Performing Arts High School (yes, the school that the movie Fame was based on), and as a student adopted a hip-hop alter-ego as "Timmy T." Two videos of his rap exploits have surfaced, one for a school performance and the other for what turned out to be a statistics project for Ms. Lawton's class (yes, performing arts students do take math courses, but apparently they do it a little bit differently than the rest of us).
In the statistics song he raps, "Let's do a problem, let us see, the probability you see me on TV."
"One-zero-zero-zero trillion percent," was the answer, which, well, was correct. He is on television! That may not be how high school statistics are supposed to work, but you can't say he was wrong.
In the second, he has a dis for Justin Bieber and a dance routine that really puts Hammer's meme-able dance moves from the movie to shame.
Of course, the existence of such performances was bound to come up while Chalamet is out making the publicity rounds for one of the most talked about indie films of the year, and, of course, Degeneres would be the one to do it. After complimenting the film, and asking both Chalamet and Hammer about their first rehearsal (it involved just straight up making out), she moves on to the abandoned rap hobby.
"There's a clip of you being a rapper that I understand we have," Degeneres brings up out of the blue. Chalamet looks dumb founded, while Hammer just shouts, "Yes" (apparently relieved to know he's not the only one whose dance moves get brought up on the press tour).
Hammer stepped in to explain: "The back story behind that is that was a school project that he had to actually turn in for a statistic class," says Hammer. "So everyone else wrote all these big sort of statistics papers and all that, and he turned in this awesome rap, and the teacher only gave him a D+ on it."
Let this be a lesson to all teenagers who are interested in exploring any rap talents: it might be best to make sure those exploits stay off the internet. You never know where you life could lead, and you might not have Armie Hammer there to cover for you.

AUGUSTA (AFP) - Top-ranked Dustin Johnson's withdrawal from the Masters on Thursday (April 6) stunned his rivals who were on the course when he walked out.
Johnson suffered a lower back injury on Wednesday when he slipped and fell down a set of stairs at a rented home.
Care and treatment plus some last-minute therapy was not enough to get him fit to swing without soreness when he contacted the ball.
That led to Johnson walking off the first tee as his planned playing partners, two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson and 2016 PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker, started in the day's final group.
"We talked to him," Watson said. "I was on the training table the same time he was on the training table before we hit balls, so I saw him before we went out there.
"You want him to be healthy, you know? And so for us, we knew if he doesn't play we're going to have a slow day. We're not thinking about him playing or not. We just want him healthy. We want him strong. You don't want to wish that on anybody."
Jordan Spieth, the 2015 Masters champion and a friend of Johnson, watched as Johnson's name was removed from the Augusta National scoreboards and guessed he had withdrawn.
"Certainly really unfortunate. And as a friend of his and somebody who has played a lot of golf with him, I know this it must really, really not be good in order for him not to tee it up," Spieth said. "And I certainly wish him well."
Five-time Major winner Phil Mickelson, who would become the oldest Masters champion at 46 if he wins a fourth green jacket on Sunday, did not learn about Johnson until he was almost done.
"I just found out on 18 green that he didn't start and, gosh, he's been playing some great golf," Mickelson said. "I know it's disappointing."
Australia's Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters champion, was hopeful for a quick return by Johnson, who won his three prior starts to become the Masters favourite with bookmakers when the week began.
"That's really sad," Scott said of Johnson's withdrawal. "I can't imagine having to do that. It's disappointing, for sure, for everybody.
"The way he has been going, a freak accident, he's obviously very, very injured, because to pull out of the Masters when you're in the kind of form he's in, it must be a very difficult decision to make."

Of Metaphors and Mario RPGs
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Perhaps Nintendo has been telling us a special story all along.
That was... Neat.
I never really consider metaphors and such to be honest, they usually float above my poor peasant head. This one is rather neat however.
I liked this article.
The reason for the repeated kidnappings is obviously that he wants to give Mario and Luigi casus belli and have them declare war so he can raise war taxes and get filthy rich.
Interesting theories, but it does have a few logical holes. For one, if the weapons in Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars are supposed to represent violent games competing with Nintendo's family friendly content doesn't it seem odd that Square Soft was instrumental in the creation of the game? During the 16-bit era Square games led the charge in what was, at the time, considered to be dark and mature stories.
Also, Bowser's hatred is somewhat split between two camps in the game. He hates Booster for kidnapping Peach (who wants her for completely superficial reasons, not to further any actual goals) and he hates Smithy for taking over his Keep. When it comes down to it, however, he hates the two of them for the very same reason: they've stolen his thunder.
Honestly though, I think your overall point is a good one. Mario RPG is one of my favorite games of all time (next to Morrowind and Chrono Trigger) and it's sad that Nintendo's taken so many steps back since that incredible game. Bowser was the funniest and most interesting character in that game and it sucks that he is underutilized for the sake of tradition (or laziness).
Nintendo could take a whole lot more risks with their IP, I think. Some risks fall flat (Metroid: Other M ring a bell?), but if we can get something like the original Mario RPG again... that would be just splendid.
It seems Yahtzee's onto something
You mean like Rainbow Dash vs. Starscream?
For me, for reasons I do not want to explain for fear of derailing the OP, games of this generation kinda made me bitter and cynical. During the early years of gaming, games did what they did because they could. Want a fat man throw fireballs because he touched a flower? Sure why not. Wanna see an anthropomorphic animal run faster than anything imaginable because, "F" logic and physics? Lets do that. Nowadays, beyond my understanding, fans demand some kind of explanation for every action taken. We have to look very deeply into every single game that comes out to justify it's existence. Why? I don't know, heaven forbid you enjoy a game for what it gives instead of reading into every single line imaginable.
I'd like to point out a factual error here:
The events you're talking about happen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and not in Paper Mario 2: The Thousand-Year Door.
You Sir! I award thee 50 internet points.
Add in a reference to Jesus and this article would have been an A+ in my Grade 10 English class.
Oh, and use the word "allusion" more.
Peach was abducted in Thousand Year Door by aliens. It's the one where she has to strip off her clothes after taking an invisibility potion in order to get intel. Bowser spends most of that game in side scrolling platforming sections with the punchline that he always misses the action by the time he gets there.
Yahtzee was definitely thinking of the right game.
The other one.
Yeah this is the kind of over-analyzing propaganda I hate Sean Malstrom for Yahtzee. I honestly think you're looking too far into it. Especially when the first Mario RPG was made by Square and they aren't known for being that self aware. If anything, this whole thing is coincidence.
Aaaand . . . Yahtzee implodes the Matrix.
That's Death Battle, not Mario RPG.
Keep in mind that what Nintendo/Square actually wanted to do is not actually relevant. A good part of literary analysis is trying to find meaning in areas where the author may not have intended for us to find meaning. Sure Nintendo may not have written the Bowser/Peach story with Yahtzee's allegory in mind, but it's applicable to compare the two.
considering that both Paper Mario Sticker Star and M&L: Dream Team came out on the 3DS, the trend does make sense. it's not a sign of decreasing awareness. what kind of competition does Nintendo have in the handheld market? smartphone and tablet games are going strong, but they don't seem to be taking away from the 3DS' sales much. that only leaves the Vita, which is already floating belly-up in its own tears.
We need more textual analysis like this in gaming, especially of older games. Aside from the fact that I just love this kind of stuff (in all fomrs of media), this is the what film studies et al are built on. This is how we make gaming culture more interesting.
Good, pretty deep even!
Please continue to make us all laugh, it always makes my week!!!
So if Mario is supposed to represent us, the player....what is Luigi??
Go on, Yahtzee. Just one more toke.
Very interesting analysis. It would seem that Nintendo is more concerned about their competitors than I thought.
But that can often be as much of a bad thing as a good thing though.
Oh my God! My mind is blowing! Even more than after reading a Cracked article! That's a brilliant metaphor for Nintendo's relationship with their players. it's always funny to think of the warped reasons Bowser kidnaps Peach (or does she LET him do it?!), but there was one game that gave Peach the spotlight, and some unique "powers" to boot, like lighting herself on fire when angry and crying literal rivers. What's that a metaphor for?
He's the little brother that always wants to play too and not get left out.
So pretty much Nintendo has lost its spark, drive, and creativity going along the inertia of its own franchises.
Pokemon had only briefly changed its basic arc for... what two games a while back? And it seems like they're drawing from the 'happy birthday, go conquer the world' well they always have.
Metroid: can't discuss... fury of a thousand suns... urge to kill... rising
Mario: sparks of light in an endless grey sea. They shine before dulling into the grey mist
Zelda: has anyone noticed we keep remaking OoT? Remember the emotional weight of seeing the world crumble without you, and knowing that you have to fight a thankless war against fate only to, in the end, lose the only friends you had (except the horse, Epona dying would have scarred me for life)? Or those wonderful GBC/GBA games. Of the franchises this may be the one still trying to explore new places.
Donkey Kong: Had been on ice since they tried to make games controlled by BONGOS. The brief return to the old Rare-style platformers was nice, but they didn't DO anything with it.
Star Fox: Couldn't catch lightning in a bottle a third time. stopped trying. it's dead.
That made me smile a lot. And now I'm going to be 'that guy'.
.... per second.
(Or 9.8 metres per second per second in the units that every other fucker in the world uses.)
So then what does this "Year of Luigi" mean?
Acceleration would be measured in Units/sec^2, Yahtzee, I'm ashamed of you.
Interesting metaphor. Even holds up with the core 3D platforming titles. Mario 64 lands as the path header, showing the world that new things are coming. Sunshine is a "we need to clean up this mess we made" statement that shows how they rely on the players helping them, as the relationship is symbiotic. Galaxy sits at a crossroad of "yeah, we are the best again!", back in peak Wii season where the other consoles were having trouble getting on their feet (small game libraries and hardware issues), while Galaxy 2 has them showing that while Nintendo is still capable, it now has to rely on those that miss the old days when it was still a contender (issues of game libraries and some of the hardware bugs fixed by the competitors, who now have steamrolled right over Nintendo in all by units sold). It might still be able to throw a few punches, but only for those who want to watch the old guy fight. It can't stand up to the new kids, so it's just hanging around before retirement, rehashing the same old stories.
Wow. I'm kind of sad now.
But let's not mince things. Nintendo is a stagnating, irrational despot who's losing his war against the entire rest of the world, and at the rate it's going it's not going to have anything left worth a crap.
1, Road of Icarus: It keeps its head right where it is, way up its rear buttocks. Then it shows off its alleged mastery by trying to do something grandiose and suicidal, then it will anticlimactically die in the attempt.
2, Road of the Phoenix: Oh, Nintendo, please oh please pull another phoenix, nobody wants to see you go, not even Mr. Yahtzee.
It's only bad if you factor in the arrogant fools who don't know that when you interpret things, it's about the authors thoughts, not yours. it's amazing the idiotic things you hear asserted in the name of 'deeper interpretation' but you should really just ignore it, and not bring it up in a conversation that hasn't been touched by it.
I always just figured Bowser and Peach were supposed to be Hades and Persephone, myself. Although I never could (or don't have enough of a grasp on the mythos to) put the Brothers down in there.
Oh I got it. I don't think Bowser is just a representation of Nintendo but Miyamoto himself.
Bowser Jr. is Iwata, which is why he's starting showing up in more games lately where he isn't wanted and doesn't belong.
I blame Miyamoto and Iwata... apparently Miyamoto is the reason why Sticker Star had "No Story" because he told the developers that "It didn't need one!"
Ya know... because Miyamoto is fast becoming an irrelevant relic but for some reason people still listen to him. I assume that, since Dream Team feels so tired, that it is suffering from a similar "assertion" from Nintendo's backward thinking management.
They both do the same thing and are both us.
Mario is the Ego, Luigi, with his self obsession and instinctual reactions, is the Id.
The Id is the home of base instincts and unmalicious selfishness, much like a babies. You'll notice that when mario is the star of a game, he is a cipher. Since he is the Ego, he is cognisant of the world he is in and therefore the focus is on the world itself.
With Luigi games, the star of the show is Luigi himself. In Luigis mansion games there are no morals. You're an embodiment of base desire in an environment with it's hungry ghosts that is itself also pure Id, so they aren't able to stop cannabalising one another. There are no greater stakes at play and no moral judgments made in Luigi games. There are no heroes, simply survival.

text: Interactive Multimedia Campaign Reinvents "I Love NY" With Sketches from Public Albany, N.Y. - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today launched a new tourism advertising campaign featuring a reinvention of the iconic "I Love NY" logo in order to promote the New York's unmatched vacation destinations and attractions. For the first time ever, the State has asked New Yorkers and visitors to help remake the "I Love NY" logo by submitting personal sketches depicting what they love about New York State. The "I Love NY" logo has not been used in television ads in over three years. The ads feature destinations in all regions of the state. After years of cuts to tourism promotion, this ad campaign fulfills Governor Cuomo's campaign promise to support tourism across the state this year. Visit http://www.iloveny.com/ to explore the new campaign and watch the ads. "Tourism is vital to the economy of our state, supporting nearly 500,000 jobs and generating tens of billions of dollars in revenues for the state and businesses," Governor Cuomo said. "This campaign reinvents one of our state's great assets - the 'I Love NY' icon - which is known the world over as one of the most successful advertising symbols ever. This campaign brings that icon to life in order to highlight all of the things people love about New York." The New York State Division of Marketing, Advertising and Tourism, which is part of Empire State Development (ESD), together with BBDO Advertising, developed the summer advertising campaign asking New Yorkers as well as out-of-state visitors to share their most meaningful travel experiences in the state by sketching what they love about the state's vacation destinations. Ken Adams, President and CEO of Empire State Development, said, "Governor Cuomo knows that tourism is a critical economic engine for our state. It is now the 5th largest employer in the state and growing. There's never a shortage of passion about New York, and now, we're putting that passion where it belongs - into the heart of New York and its tourism industry. Governor Cuomo has restored the confidence in, pride for and reputation of New York on a national and international level. Today's launch of the new 'I Love NY' marketing campaign is yet another thing for all New Yorkers to be proud of." David Lubars, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of BBDO North America, said, " 'I Love NY' hadn't been used on TV in more than three years. Under Governor Cuomo's leadership, we took that one-of-a-kind icon and made it even more dynamic in order to match the dynamism and diversity of New York. By asking the public to sketch what they love most about New York, we are demonstrating that New York state is an amazing place with so much for everyone to love - events, locations, icons, and activities. The drawings will be the cornerstone of this campaign as we help grow New York's tourism industry throughout the state. On behalf of BBDO, I thank Governor Cuomo for the opportunity to be part of this campaign." People can replace the heart in the iconic "I [HEART] NY" logo with their own drawing of what they most love about the state and submit it online. Submissions can be sent to http://www.iloveny.com/ or email@example.com. Submissions will be displayed in an online gallery. This is the first time in nearly 40 years, since the logo's inception, that New York State has officially asked the public for their interpretations of the "I Love NY" and for the reasons they love New York. Advertisements will encourage viewers to visit http://www.iloveny.com/ to plan their summer vacations to New York State. Select drawings may be used to replace the heart in "I Love NY" in new ads focused on New York's many different experiences in future campaigns. The campaign will be supported with a strong public relations and digital program to drive trade and consumer awareness. Digital elements include "I Love NY" Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages. The ads, focusing on summer tourism destinations, will air for seven weeks and are targeted to tourists within a five to six hour driving range which includes the following markets: Albany-Schenectady-Troy, Binghamton, Buffalo, Elmira, New York, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Watertown, Burlington-Plattsburgh, Cleveland, Hartford-New Haven, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Montreal. The advertisements will run throughout the day on both network and premium channels during early morning and primetime, including during shows such as Today, Good Morning America, and on channels like ESPN, the Travel Channel and the Food Network. In addition to digital and television media, NYC Taxi TV will carry the advertisements in more than 6,000 cabs approximately four times per hour during weekdays. The new "I Love NY" ads are part of a $5 million tourism marketing campaign within the larger "New York Open for Business," a $50 million statewide business initiative. The "I Love NY" ad campaign is expected to expand to feature other tourism seasons in the future. The "I Love NY" launch follows a recent report from Tourism Economics stating that direct spending by tourists in New York State in 2011 was $53.8 billion, an 8.1 percent increase from 2010 and a new high direct spending figure for the state that also generated $6.9 billion in state and local taxes. This represents back to back 8 plus percent growth in annual statewide tourism, which has helped New York State tourism to return to pre-recession levels. There has been a 3.8% increase in tourism industry employment to 482,231, and in some parts of New York, particularly rural communities like in the Adirondacks and the Catskills, tourism generates up to 16 percent of all local jobs. Among states, New York ranks third in size of tourism economies behind California and Florida. New York faces increased marketing budget competition from other states: Florida ($90M), California ($50M), and Michigan ($25.4M).

Late last Friday, revealing photographs surfaced on the internet of GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Pictures depicting Governor Romney with his lips wrapped around the areola of a woman that is definitely not his Mother or his wife.
On Monday, Romney 2012 spokesperson Andrea Saul told NBC News anchor Brian Williams, "These slanderous and outrageous assertions mark a new low in American politics." When asked by Williams if Romney could provide a detailed list of women he had suckled (and their phone numbers and or Facebook listing), Ms Saul said, "Certainly not! We will Brian, when you, President Obama and Bill Clinton reciprocate."
Late Monday, when shown prints of the explosive internet photographs, Romney's older sister Margo told the media; "That sure looks like Mitt and Bonny." When asked who the Bonny was, Ms. Romney would not be any more specific. The Romney for President 2012 staff was asked for a comment on Gov. Romney's sister's certification of the photos, the committee released a signed Press Statement outlining Romney's categorical denial of ever nursing any woman except his wife...and possibly his Mother. On the latter point, Romney asserted he has no recollection.
On Tuesday, Romney 2012 campaign manger Matt Rhodes told Fox News; "Governor Romney has never touched, oogled or sucked the breast of any woman named "Bonny," and that Mitt's sister Margo may be confusing Mitt with brother, Scott. Governor Romney is an active member of the Mormon Church and a strong believer in family values and for the last time, he flatly refuses there is any truth to the story. I suggest if you follow the trail of this story, it will lead to Texas."
Fox News' Sean Hannity asked GOP Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann for a comment on the story. Rep. Bachman told Fox News," I WASN"T the first this time. I have no information and feel any further commentary would be inappropriate." Ann Coulter told this reporter that the bottom-of-the-barrel nature of this story had all the hallmarks of the Democratic National Party.
Wednesday morning NY Times reporter Jim Rutenberg traced down a woman named Bonny Hartley, who claims those are her breasts in the internet photographs of Mitt Romney and she told Rutenberg, "Those were good times in my life. I had both of the Romney boys and they were loving and quite gentle." When asked how long the relationships lasted, Ms. Hartley said she was with each male Romney for about a year.
Following the revelation of the extended relationship, Governor Romney called an immediate Press Conference to clarify his position. In his hastily called press briefing, Governor Romney told the fifth estate, " It was a long time ago and I did not establish any lasting bond with the woman." There was an immediate iPAD frenzy in the press, as everyone was busily sending news stories to editors and screaming into iPhones while Romney continued. "Ms. Hartley was our wet nurse for about two years when Dad joined Nash-Kelvinator in early 1948.
Sadly, over the tumult in the briefing room, no one heard Governor Romney's final remarks. By 2:00 PM, Governor Romney's polling numbers had dropped (15) points and the Tea Party was demanding he drop out of the race and endorse Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry.

Now, we were wondering who it was that was running?
Chapter 11.
Tobimar had no idea where he was going, and he knew that was a very, very bad thing. The mazakh had captured him with a stunning spell before he'd realized they'd gotten behind him; he'd been so focused on trying to sense what was going on inside that he'd completely failed to watch his back, and the fact he wasn't dead yet was at least half luck.
He'd actually started coming out of his daze while they were still dragging him down some corridor, but he could tell he'd missed a fair amount of time. He'd stayed limp, trying to clear his head and gather his strength as they carried him, but when they'd set him down and the order had been given (by something that wasn't a mazakh, to his surprise and confusion) to strip and bind him, he'd known he couldn't play around any longer.
Gathering the inner light Master Khoros had taught him, he'd suddenly leapt to his feet, twin swords unsheathed, and cut the lights, projecting his essence through the swords, severing the enchantment that kept the glowglobes alight, plunging the room into total darkness. The heat-sense of the mazakh, he knew, took time to awaken – like the sensitive vision of a man at night. For the next few moments, they were as blind as anyone.
Anyone except those who could see the light of life itself.
In those seconds he had cut three of his captors down, and seen something else in the back, where the voice had come from, a something that vanished impossibly, no flicker of magic, no movement, a cold and eerie entity that was there one moment and gone the next.
But he had no time to think about that; he was running out the door, the three he'd killed leaving a gap wide enough to pass through.
Terian, please! Light unto darkness!
He burst out of another door, hearing the scratching rattle of taloned feet and whisper of trailing tails giving chase. Now he was into a lighted corridor, equalizing sight again. There's a lot of them after me. Where am I? Don't know if they brought me up or down, how large this building is…
If it was the same building he'd been spying on, it was very large. If I get out of this, I'm going to re-negotiate my fee, justice or no!
A turn, an angle, through another door, no! More of them – take the door ahead, no time to turn! Sand and storm, I need Wanderer's luck now!
A long, long corridor now, lit by glowglobes at intervals and with no side doors, his echoing footsteps being drowned out by the hissing, rattling pursuit. No help for it. I have to make a stand. At the next doorway, if there isn't a mob waiting behind it.
Tobimar bashed down on the door handle with the hilt of one sword as he reached it, hit the door hard with one shoulder, a jolt of dull pain echoing from the impact as the door flew open.
"Shiderich!" The Skysand curse meaning "die without water" was torn from him as he saw the long, triangular room before him, a room with two rows of ever-narrowing perches on either side of the central aisle – an aisle that ended at a double-fanged altar before a looming figure of a monstrous thing, part mazakh, part hideous insectoid. And rising from the perch-benches, a dozen of the snake-demons, furious at the interruption of a sacred moment.
Suddenly Tobimar could do nothing but laugh. It was a shaky laugh, filled with more fear and less clear bravado than he would have liked, but it was a laugh, not a scream, not a sob. Snakes on all sides of me. Then all that remains is to see how many I can take with me.
Too bad, Master Khoros; I guess your vision wasn't so clear this time. I'm never going to find out where pursuing justice and vengeance would have brought me… because this is as far as I go.
The worshippers were somewhat delayed; their weapons were placed in precise array at each side of the triangular temple, and the creatures scrambled to reach them. This gave Tobimar a minor inspiration; he spun around and brought both swords up and then down and across in a sweeping arc from front to back, sending a cold-iron will pulse through the blades that brought the seven mazakh chasing him up short – though, because he could not focus through their own wills, doing them no real harm – and scattered the weapons like straws in a dust-devil, breaking hilts, bending blades, and twisting gears and levers to uselessness.
As the mazakh recovered, he drew himself up straight and held the swords level and parallel as Khoros had taught him, and for a moment, looking into the eyes of the snake-things, he saw uncertainty. He forced a smile, the smile he had once seen on his mother's face when the Lord of Waters had offered to duel a troll bandit who had challenged her courage and honor, the smile which had only sharpened when the duel was accepted and when the rock-strong creature had started to realize how terribly wrong its estimation of the Lord of Waters had been.
"The Seventh Prince of Skysand greets you, and offers his blades to still your fear; or keep your fear, and your lives, if you flee." Into the words and level ice-blue gaze, he placed his living will, pressing back on their chill-hard minds with the blazing fire of his soul.
For a fleeting moment, he almost thought it would work. The three in the front wavered, hissing, and the other four stood still. But the twelve behind surged forward, and he had to focus some senses on them, and another figure – a larger mazakh, one of the Mazakhar – appeared behind the first group, screeching orders in their own tongue.
And all dissolved into the chaos of combat. Tobimar spun aside as the seven charged – the advantage of the doorway now a terrible vulnerability, the open space of the temple his only chance – and parried two strikes with one sword, leapt up on a prayer-perch, cut down, impact on scales going through to bone, wrenching the blade free as he jumped again over a spear-thrust. Parry! screamed the inner sense, something streaking at him from the side, his sword already coming up, the spangg! sound of a Zachass disc ricocheting from his own blade almost instantly followed by the meaty thunk and a scream from the disc ending its suddenly-deflected course in the chest of one of the attackers. They were trying to herd him, he had to get out of the corner, leap up, on this one's head, flip –
A line of fire scorched its way along his side, and Tobimar realized it wasn't just a matter of sensation – that wasn't a blade. One of the mazakh was a spellcaster – maybe a priest, even, and that would be very bad. He charged forward, channeling his will into his body, his legs, leapt over the warriors that tried to intercept him with a bound that almost cracked his head open on the wooden beams above, barely kept hold of his weapons and will as dark-blue lightning sparked around him and the scaly priest stumbled backwards, throwing up his arms; it was futile as the razor-sharp swords first took one arm and then half-severed his head. Three so far, maybe four.
Impact from the side, sensed too late to block, only roll with it a bit, come up, cut at the legs, back them up, block again, arms hurting, can't stop, turn, disarming spin, jab, he's down, another two on me, stab backwards, missed but they've moved away, jump up, by the Sand there's the statue, hope it's not Manifesting right now, land on the outstretched arm, that will make it harder on them… Oh dust and drought they've all got missiles, spears, Zachass, think some of the ones I scattered weren't broken, got to get down!
Even moving as fast as he could, Tobimar tried to block two bladed discs, only managed to get one, the other scoring a long cut down his right arm. It wasn't all that serious, but instantly the arm began to somehow simultaneously go numb and burn like icy fire. Poison!
The Inner Will could disperse a poison, even heal wounds – but if he used that much focus, they'd have him in an instant. All he could do was try to slow it a bit. And keep fighting. Swinging. Cutting.
Finally he realized there was a pause, a gap. He stared around, seeing that he must have killed eight, nine of them already… but there were at least eighteen remaining. Reinforcements.
The Mazakhar stepped slightly forward, hissing. "A good fight, boy, and brave speech. But you slow, you tire, and we are many. Nearly all in this house have come. What, then, should we fear?"
And in that moment, when he searched for some words that would mean something, another voice spoke. A voice strange and hollow, echoing around the room, seeming to come from no clear source above or below.
"Fear me."
And the huge Mazakhar bellowed in agony, clutching futilely at its back as though something had impaled it there. The other mazakh whirled, seeking the source of that voice and that pain.
Tobimar didn't know what was going on, but he knew a chance when he saw one. He lunged forward, both swords drawn back, and with all his strength did a double cut; a second, gurgling scream and the leader went down, hands now scrabbling grotesquely at his own innards in a useless attempt to keep them where they belonged.
Now there was consternation on the reptilian faces, for as Tobimar forced all of his strength into a final whirlwind of cuts, it seemed as though some invisible force followed him, hindering every attempt to hem in the exiled Prince. A spear was levelled at his back, and the wielder suddenly pitched to the ground, clutching at an ankle that was fountaining blood. A blurred, tiny motion, impossible to follow in the shadows and deadly dance of combat, streaked away, and a moment later as Tobimar exchanged blows with a veteran warrior, scales thick and glossy with age, whose skill threatened to disarm the young man at any moment, something tiny dropped from above (or, perhaps, leaped from the floor?) and a silvery flicker of motion jabbed from one side to the other; the veteran's sword clattered unheeded to the floor as the clawed hands were clapped to the throat, impotent to stem the tide of red and the half-seen something bounded away. A murmur of uncertainty began now, and the twin swords spun and danced in lethal rhythm, weariness held at bay with sheer will and rising hope, punctuated now by a pair of chiming twangs, and two mazakh fell with steam-whistle shrieks as something entered their eyes and began to burn with white-fire agony.
That was enough; the remaining creatures fled, unwilling to face the unyielding Tobimar and whatever unknown and terrible force had allied itself with him, even here within their own temple.
In the sudden silence, Tobimar could hear his own ragged breathing, and he glanced around, feeling the poison still trying to work its way through him, dizziness warring with fear and confusion. "Wh… what are you? Where are you? Show yourself!"
"No need to shout." The voice from down near his feet was the same, but somehow less frightening, almost comical.
Nonetheless, he jumped back in startlement and looked down.
A small brown Toad – with, admittedly, a fair overlayer of red gore – looked up at him and waved. "Hello!"
And Tobimar Silverun, Seventh of Seven, Seeker of Skysand, found himself utterly without words.
Yes, I think I might be, too.
