Trillville: Making Them Cuts
The alternative? Keeping it trill. At least thats what Atlantas own Trillviile believes. Instead of keepin it real, Don P. aka Corleone, Dirty Mouth aka The Gucci Man, and Lil LA aka Lil Atlanta...Keep it Trill: a culmination of whats truth and whats real.
Being from the ATL where everybody is doing it...Howd you guys hook up?
DON: Dirty Mouth was writing raps in the 9th grade and I liked his raps
DM: Keeping it Trill in the city, the hood and in the state. I got my name from spittin dirty rhymesMusic has always been a part of what I do. Even in Morris Brown college where I majored in music production. I was doing mixtapes and my thang and then I hooked up with Don Phe was producing and such and such in the ATLLA was doing shows, promoting and we just clicked.
DON: Right, rightthats basically it know what Im saying, I went to Clark-Atlanta UniversityI was working on a Mass Communications major.
LA: I met both of them in the 9th grade tooI started promoting for themthen Don found out I could rapand we been trill ever since.
Howd you get your deal?
DM: We was like underground and people was feeling us and they knew it, but it was hard. Then Warner Brothers came into the picture and we did a show for Vincent Phillips the CEO of BME.
DON: I called Vincent and we set up a meet, got the CD in his hands which he passed on and they saw us perform and we cut the deal. Thats a little shortwe put in mad work, but, thats basically how it went down.
LA, you were promoting parties right?
LA: Yeah, we was doing "hood rich shit"you know passing out flyers, throwing parties errywhere, grinding and getting our shit out. Whatever we did it was packed houses, cause we worked and we gave the people what they wanted Trillville is a voice for anarchy and rebellion. Our focus was and is on the movement of young people in high school and college. Trillville is like Black heavy metal.
DM: We all (pronounced: ahwl) been about the grind since we was yea highlil kids off the block, jumping off the porch young and puttin in work, you feel me.
Where did you obtain your tracks when you first started out?
DON: I was doing all the trackssee, Trillville wasnt even a group at the time
DM: We were working together and in the studio, but
DON: Errybody at the time was working on they own solo albumIt was just my label at the timeTrillville Entertainment and Dirty Mouth was our lead artistLA had a solo album tooBut, I did all the tracks and we came together to do Neva Eva and thats how Trillville was basically born with that cut.
LA: Trillville started because everybody else was being real, so we decided to be three times as real. Trillville is any city, any hood, land any state thats trill about representin they shit!
How did Neva Eva come to be?
DON: When we hooked up with Lil Jon and we worked Neva Eva it just clicked and we realized what we had
LA: We just clicked and when we did showsit showed!
DM: We still got our own labelinstead of Trillville Entertainment its now Trilltown Entertainment
DON: Its just more money! Plus, we signing new artists!
Whats coming up next with Trillville?
DM: We got the new album coming up this spring, Trillville Reloaded
DON: Cha-Ching! We going to continue what Lil Jon established as the King of Crunk. We gonna keep the movement going and the energy moving. We the crown princes the heirs to the Crunk throneWhen we done we gonna be known as the Gods of Crunk.
LA: And we got www.trilltown.com www.trillville.com so check us out on thatwe doing them thangs.

Friday, October 24
Idlewild Park, 1900 Idlewild Dr., Reno

Give Kids a Smile Day celebrates both Children's Dental Health Month in February, and the volunteer student dental hygienists and assistants, TMCC faculty and a doctor of dentistry who provide free children's oral health care at this annual event.
"We are providing dental services for 20 children on Saturday, March 1, and have appointments still open," said Julie Stage-Rosenberg, professor of dental hygiene at TMCC.
The American Dental Association (ADA) began the Give Kids a Smile program in 2003 to encourage dental professionals' engagement in giving care to the underserved children of their communities and has provided care nationally for close to five million children to date.
This will be TMCC's seventh year participating in the event, and several private dental offices in town also participate independently. Data about the services provided and number of children treated is reported back to the ADA.
Students at TMCC who have an uninsured child between the ages of 6 and 13 are invited to make an appointment between 8 a.m. and noon on Saturday, March 1. The event is hosted on campus in the Red Mountain Building.
Free dental health services include:
Registering to receive dental services at Give Kids a Smile Day is by appointment only. Call Julie Stage-Rosenberg at 775-673-8279 for more information.
David Lund, DDS, will be conducting the dental exams for the event. He teaches part-time at TMCC.
Ten second-year dental hygiene students will be providing care for Give Kids a Smile Day along with dental assisting students. The hygienists are in their 4th semester of a four-semester program, and they are supervised by Dr. Lund and Prof. Stage-Rosenberg. Dental assisting faculty will supervise their students. They include Julie Muhle, coordinator for dental assisting, Linda McGillicuddy, professor of dental assisting, and Sandra Martinez, instructor of dental assisting.
"Dental hygiene students benefit from the day by being able to work more autonomously with limited intervention from teachers," Stage-Rosenberg said. "They get to do a run-through like they're in private practice. Also, the event fosters a concern for giving back to their community."
TMCC's Give Kids a Smile Day is funded through its volunteers and a three-year Lee R. Del Grande Community Service Grant. This grant supported the 2013 event, and will fund the 2014 and 2015 programs.
"I'm very committed to helping the underserved, and promoting oral health because it's such an integral and important part of overall health," Stage-Rosenberg said. "By providing free care to children of students, we're encouraging students to pursue yearly check-ups and regular oral health appointments for family members," Stage-Rosenberg said.
For more information, contact Julie Stage-Rosenberg.

Remember Me?
Fun for a while, but does not replace real playing.
I have one of these since the mid-90ties when they started to become popular. It still works as intended. They come in several strengths and are currently offered by various companies.
The GripMaster helps you to develop strength in your hands and fingers for guitar playing, but also sports that require lots of hand strength, such as rock climbing. "Playing" on a GripMaster, which is a mere squeezing-down of spring-reinforced square buttons for each playing finger, is awkward at first to put it mildly. It also only really trains downward movements and no finger interval stretching, so the exercise becomes fairly monotonous. Also, it really doesn't do anything if you just mildly press - as you would play guitar, that is. For some real muscle-work, you need to squeeze the whole thing with all fingers at once (=clenching your hand), or concentrate on individual fingers. It takes a massive amount of strength on the most rigid one to squeeze your pinky fully down.
I frankly think it's fun to have for a while, till you realize that it's only doing something if you include it into your practice regimen. I would much rather start rock climbing (which I do - and not because of the GripMaster, lol).
Liked about it
- Small
- Fun
- Gives you the feeling of using something that will make you better.
Didn't like
- Does not really make you a better player
- Very monotonous exercise form for hands
- Too nerdy for use in public.
Overall satisfaction:

They need to get Todd McClure back now. They made a huge mistake of not bringing him back last year. If not as a player. Then as a coach. Or player development person.
Posted: 6:00 am Friday, January 10th, 2014
Todd McClure: Oline coach 'can make a big difference'
By D. Orlando Ledbetter
Did they put out any feelers to Jeremiah Washburn when Detroit dropped the ax?
I really like the Falcons three young tackles… Holmes, Schraeder, and Jones. If a good OL coach can start investing in getting those guys to be ready, it's maybe a two-year transition until you have a great LT, RT, and swing guy. I expect Terren Jones to come to camp at an ideal weight next year and compete for a starting job if they let him. In the preseason, he was excellent… just heavy to be a LT in the NFL. Those young guys just need reps, experience, coaching, and the removal of dead weight in front of them.
Falcons are saying the right things, moving on seemingly the right problem (linemen), this coming season will be either great improvement or big changes for 2015......the front office and coaching staff should now have all the motivation they need to get back into the playoffs.....
A better question, "Is Tice going to get us from last to first?" Some how I think Blank will be saying some time next year, "I think we have a failure to communicate".
I think DLED should ask what JSSN think before he waste his time talking to Smith or McClure.
There will not be a big change in personnel along the offensive line Konz, Holmes, Hawley, will for sure be back hopefully Falcons can get a couple of starters for the Oline in the draft and free agency looks like we are stuck with a core of guys and have to hope they improve one because they want to and two because of the new coach!! Hopefully they play better as a unit.
Thank goodness McClure provides an opinion that the right coach can in fact make a huge difference in the performance of the oline. I pointed this out previously using the example of the change from 2007 to 2008. Hopefully this can quiet the "scapegoaters" for a little while. I think the questioning of the Tice hire by Ledbetter is ridiculous. Blank has been pretty obvious that Smith and Dimitroff are on the hot seat. I seriously doubt Smith would be looking to hire Tice because of "cronyism" when his butt is on the line. I have no problem whatsoever with Smith hiring Tice. If I'm going into a season with my job on the line, I want guys around me who will be loyal and on the same page. Any coach would feel that way. If it's a bad hire, everyone will be looking for new jobs. Having to justify his choice to a beat writer is laughable. Mummyhead... I agree with you 100%!!!!!!
Maybe Holmes can move inside. Got beat like a rented mule at OT.
I will be amazed if L Holmes is a starter on next year's team. He seemed totally unprepared.
TD and MS, 5 big men make up OL. You guys worth your jobs? Just find Falcons 5 Great Men. Start from scratch. Build us an OL. You guys Worth your weight in salt? DL in 3 - 4 takes how many Big men? 3!!! We have needed 2 DE's for 10 years. Do you guys know what a DE looks and plays like? NT? Get 1 just 1 man who weighs 375 and can push center back 4 yards in backfield. Come on guys earn your paycheck.
To TD and MS..........Just do something, to improve the OLine and DLine, especially the OLine!!!!!
I'm tired of this crap.
fanatical: We were watching two different teams, or can't you count to nine?
The problem is that harsh critics of this Oline .Viewed each person individually,not as a unit.They didn't play well as a unit,either. But got progressively better as the season ended.They definitely need a veteran presence such as EMonroe or AMack.But not sweeping changes ,because it will effect the chemistry of the unit.
Not worried so much about the pass blocking. Because as we saw in the last 2 games.The quick release of MRyan and chemistry of 1 of the duo RWhite.Changes the way this team plays.Add Julio and the machine runs almost at 100%.Adding Julio stretches the defense and also allows SJackson room to be effective.
If the Offense runs almost 100% the defense isnot out on the the field as long.In turn these rookies wont be out on the field long enough to be exposed.
Defensively we need to bring back Babs and CPeters,for the right price.ADent ,SNicholaus and Deccoud have made themselves expendable.Would like to see JAllen,JByrd and BOrakpo ,for the right price.Understanding critics the Cap is the balance.The draft being the balance if Clowney drops to us,it changes some.But a strong WR and RB should be drafted.My Opinion only
We haven't had a good OL since the 1998 season; we haven't had a "great" OL since 1990 when we had Kenn, Fralic, Hinson, Dukes, Hoover, Hunter & Scully.
The 1990 OL could both move the DL in the running game and pass protect as well as any OL in the NFL.
You can do one of two things when dealing with criticism.
1) Work on your communications skills. Run everything through spell check. Hire an intern to help.
2) Pretend it is not an issue. Secretly correct the errors when someone points it out and then delete the post(s) of those who are critical.
Sadly, you continue to choose #2
Happy new year.
My 2014 wish list (subject to change - ;) ) with optional picks in-case the first option is gone:
1st round - OT - J. Matthews (Texas A&M)/G. Robinson (Auburn)
2nd - DT - R. Hageman (Minnesota)/W. Sutton (Arizona State)/A. Johnson (LSU)
3rd - LB - C. Jones (Florida State)/J. Attaochu (GT)
4th - RB - A. Williams (Boston College)/T. Gafney (Stanford)
So the same coaches that did wonders 2 years ago are now worthless? The only thing that has changed is the roster. Gee.....What is the common denominator here?
If the falcons dont draft Louis Nix DT from Notre Dame first.. They will suffer the same result.Draft defense and build the O. line thru free agency and if u still have faith in L.Holmes and KOnz let them sit. Nix great inside presence can push the pocket and demand double teams which would free up linebackers and not allow the QB to step up in the pocket. which would create more sacks for our DE's. Our D-Line hasnt been the same since big Grady was here. We need vets on the O-Line cause we are ready to win now, we dont wanna develop rookies on the line right now and let Matty Ice suffer through there growing pains.NIX-NIX-NIX!
My question is why after 2 years in the league are we at the point with Konz and Holmes that we think they need to spend more time in the weight room? I think they are both busts and should be somebody else's rehab project. I'd much rather have a couple of guys busted their humps trying to get better than these guys.
The line needs the best OT on the board (hopefully Matthews) in the 1st round followed by the best available G in the second round. Then go DL for the next 2 picks and then come back and take the highest rated lineman regardless of which side they play.
This needs to be a lineman draft.
From what I've seen since 1966 is that an OL usually is much better when the individuals have worked together for a few years. Atlanta has had some good OLs and those usually met this definition. To completely remake the entire OL could be a disaster, not even considering do the Falcons have the money to sign whoever they want. I think the Falcons will keep some of the current individuals (Konz and Holmes) and probably try to upgrade RT, C and maybe LG. but they have equal problems on the defensive line so they can't go wholesale for the OL. But one big problem that has to be solved is they have to keep Matt Ryan from being thrown on his butt. He can't win games when he is on his butt six or seven times a game.
I have a problem with these former Jacksonville friends as coaches. They couldn't win in Jax so why should we
believe they will here. Pray!
First off, I believe Mike Tice will be an upgrade over what we had. Secondly, this team needs an infusion of talent on the oline. Once we infuse new talent, let go of the dead weight (Hawley and Reynolds). Put Konz, Holmes, Schrader, and Mike Johnson in the weight room before any evaluation starts. These guys evidently are not physically fit (STRONG!!!). Same goes for oft injured Sam Baker. If Tice doesn't have any use for them after that, bench or cut. Simple as that.
Regardless of what we do, draft a plug and play right guard in the 2nd round or Antonio Richardson, the 6'6 340lb tackle of of Tennessee. By all means spend some real money on veteran starting caliber tackle in free agency.
I think I'm not alone among fans in wanting to see an entire new OL next year. (Even Blalock is just an NFL-average guard, but he can probably be a sub.) Still, for as long as I've been following the NFL (and I'm 65) I don't recall this kind of wholesale line-change being executed before. Also, I'm not sure Smith and Dimitroff are really the ones to put together an outstanding OL out of free agency and the draft. So, frankly, I'm a little depressed.
Question is can Coach Tice do the job with the people the Falcons have. A number of the very good offensive line went away due to money over the last 3 years, is suddenly more money available ? Or is Tice enough of a difference maker that he will be able to mold this unit to anything close Coach Gibbs did.
If you remember under Gibbs the defense was worried about the "dirty and nasty" offensive lineman Atlanta had. The O-line was already in their heads the minute a defensive tackle stepped on the field against the Falcons. That is an edge that Atlanta exploited no trouble getting a first down on a 3rd and 2 then by runningthe ball.
Here is hoping for a healthly and motivated offensive line in 2014 with a couple of draft choices. Also hoping for that FSU or one of the ND D-Tackles to help out.
Whoever they have in those spots, they need to be strong and uber-competitive.
Ha Ha, he already knows. Juxtaposition is a wonderful thing.
Baker will probably be back for 2 or 3 games. I think Baker's career defines Thomas Dimitroff's capabilities better than any draft choice he has made. Lose a pick by moving up in the 1st round to pick an injury prone player. Baker misses many games in the next years due to injury. His contract year, he plays decent. To defend his choice of his pick, TD gives Baker a huge contract to have him miss most of the 2013 season. Peria Jerry is next.
@Chilidawg This is what it's like when you are getting thrown to the wolves for the first time in the NFL. This happens to 95% of guys starting at LT for the first time, because there's just no preparing for it in practice.
That said, by 2015 I fully expect Holmes is the swing tackle behind Terren Jones and Ryan Schraeder or playing inside. Hopefully for ATL fans, Tice can give everyone a fair shot from the beginning so that the best 5 can play.
We should draft a OT with our 1st pick. Baker can move to RT for the 2 or 3 games he plays each year.
Louis nix is that dt.
"But got progressively better as the season ended."
You clearly then didn't watch the same games I watched. They got progressively WORSE as evidenced by the 9 sacks from Carolina at season's end and the firing of the OL coach…you don't fire someone who's result are "progressively better" as the season unfolds.
Who is "Hinson?"
Do you mean 7x Pro Bowler Chris Hinton?
And if you're going to reference them (Kenn, Fralic, Dukes, Hoover, and Hinton), their last year as a productive line was 1993.
@RangeRover Love the Houston Hoover "the people mover" reference.
@MummyHead Lol that is so true.
@syrupmaker I think they could move Lamar Holmes to RG, use T Jones as the swing OT provided Baker comes back healthy. If they are going to recommit to the run game, that makes a lot of sense.
Mike Tice isn't Alex Gibbs.
Irony, 6 different things being presented as two!
@JSSN @BigIrishMike Prove it.
Regardless of where Alex Gibbs coached from Oakland to his last stint in the Seattle leading up to the 2010 season. He coached zone blocking and stout line (no retreat) pass line blocking to complement the West Coast offense. Simple as that, they flow as a unit. Tice benefited from veteran talented linemen previously trained by others in Minnesota. Everywhere else since he's struggled with developing linemen.
By the way, the year after he left Chicago, they retooled the line, only Garza survived the purge.

Cryptid Hunters - Ep. 1
"Formation! Team Cryptid Hunters Unite!"
Roy: *walking around putting up flyers for his new Crypid Hunters group* Ok...that should be enough....
????:*a voice is heard* Are you sure it would work? There aren't other places?
Roy: Not that I know of. I better head home and wait... *he takes the rest of the flyers and runs off*

Luna: Hey, wait! *she hurries to the ally the incubus ran to see nothing but a dead end empty. She looks up and sees her target got away. She has a mini tantrum* ....Are you freaking kidding me!? God damnit!! *leaves the ally, only to see the poster. She scoffs* ...Hm. I guess I can check it out later on...
Roy:*after 3 days, he walks outside the city to a flyable ship. It was dusty but he presses a switch that cleans it out* There....now to wait...
????: Do you think there will be any here?
Roy: Hopefully....I do have doubts...*walks into the meeting room*
*someone knocks on the door of the Flyable Ship. another knock is heard by someone else*
Roy:*presses another switch that opens the entry door* There...let's pray they can help...
????: Don't worry so much. Just introduce yourself.
Roy: Okay. *he walks into the meeting room, heart-pounding*
*the two visitors walk in. no one else follows*
Roy:*sees the two visitors* Whoa....I knew the posters might have caught some attention but not this kind of attention...
Luna: *notices Roy and examines him silently head to toe* ...
CryoFlare: You thought people would come because of a poster? Ugh! I knew I was gonna regret this.
Roy: I-I'm sorry...I didn't have much to work with....
Luna: ...There's no denying it. Your a grade A rookie.
CryoFlare: And a grade A Idiot.
????: *sighs* Stop being so hard on him.
CryoFlare: ? What the heck?
Luna: ? *looks around* Who was that?
Roy:*looks down at the red emerald around his neck* Amberina, not now..
????: I'm afraid I'll have to step in if these two can't listen...
Luna: Eh...??
CryoFlare: Hah?
*the gem around his neck starts shining until a ray of light shoots out of it and on the ground. That light forms into a female teen with long red hair, wearing a dress and a tiara on her forehead*
Luna: *gets startled* W-What the hell?
CryoFlare: *raises Eyebrow* What the heck?
Amberina: My name is Amberina, crowned princess of the Azura region on my homeworld of Xious. And as far as I see, you both are nothing when it comes to treating others.
Roy: Amberina, please!
Luna: ...E-Excuse me...? Well, um... *becomes silent and plays with her hair, meekishly*
CryoFlare: ... *shakes head* Look "Princess", your boy here put up posters to join a cryptid hunting team... a Cryptid Hunting Team! Creatures that most people don't even believe in. The minute he set up those posters, people were bound to shrug it off. Heck, I passed this couple that said the guy who put those up must be a complete fool.
Roy:....*sighs with his head down*
Amberina:*walks up to Cryo* You made your point. Zip it. *she then flicks him in the nose and walks back to Roy*
CryoFlare: *covers his nose and growls, annoyed*
Luna: *remains silent and observes Cryoflare head to toe like Roy, curious*
Amberina: *whispers* Roy, do you really think they can help?
Roy: *whispers* They have to. Otherwise, they won't be here.
Amberina: *sighs* Very well.
Roy: Ok then...*clears throat*...so,ummm...let's get to know each other,huh? My name is Roy Ember Masuko, the guardian of the Fire Red Xious Gem. Please don't ask me about it. Amberina's the long history type.
CryoFlare: Fine. I am CryoFlare. And in case you didn't know, which I'm going to go ahead and guess that you don't, I'm a Highly skilled, experienced and Well known Cryptid Hunter. *in thought* Who only came here to make sure the fools who were in this group didn't get killed.
Amberina: Just as I thought....another well-known one. It was obvious from your attitude, which I strongly recommend you adjust.
Roy: Amberina, you're not helping.
Amberina: Those were words that needed to be said.
Luna: ...I'm Luna. And I'm a hunter as well, not so well known though.
Amberina: It is a pleasure to meet you. At least one of you isn't so hard-headed.
Luna: Er, thanks...? *in thought* I don't think he's a hard head...
CryoFlare: *snorts out snow clouds* Well excuse me Princess I think I know a thing or two about being a Cryptid Hunter.
Amberina: My name is Amberina, simpleton. And do not forget that.
CryoFlare: *makes a low growl*
Roy:*freaked out, he speaks up* OK! OK! So...since we know each other, let's take a tour of the ship,huh?
Luna: ... *nods* ...I-I guess.
CryoFlare: Whatever.
Roy: Good. Hopefully, we'll start off on a better first.
Luna: *nods again. In thought* That's if we can cooperate at all.
Roy: So,if we don't got anything else to say....let's go look around the ship. *walks out*
Amberina: Ok then, both of you keep up. And don't do anything you'll regret. I might be a princess but that doesn't mean that I can not defend myself.
CryoFlare: *in thought* Too late for that Princess.
Amberina: Now, come. Roy is waiting for us . *she walks outside the meeting room*
Luna: ... *whipsers to Cryoflare* At least try to be nice... I-If you want to. *goes to meeting room*
CryoFlare: Ugh. *follows*
Roy:*stops at the first stop* Ok. This is the Holonet room. All calls you make to anyone needs to be made in THIS one room. Anywhere else will mess up the ship's navigation systems and send us falling to our deaths...
CryoFlare: *in thought* Oh great. An Idiot Rookie with an other world Princess and an out of date air ship. Ugh.
Luna: ...It's out dated, you know?
CryoFlare: Thank You!
Luna: Maybe I can fix that...
Roy: *sighs*
Amberina:*walks up to Cryo and flicks his nose again* Leave him alone.
CryoFlare: *covers nose and growls*
Luna: ...Please don't growl.
Roy: Ok....next room...*walks off and stops in another room*
Luna: *follows Roy*
CryoFlare: Not my fault she keeps flicking my nose. *follows*
Roy: Ok, this is the Cargo Hold. About 2 decks. This one and one below.
CryoFlare: *in thought* Eh. I've seen bigger.
Luna: Um, I have a question. Where do you train here...?
Roy: We'll get to that. Next, I got to show you the rooms. *he leads them to a wide hallway with 4 doors on each wall* These are your rooms. Consider it your home away from home.
CryoFlare: I've got my own place I can get to easy.
Amberina: Nobody said YOU had to stay.
Roy: Amberina!
Luna: ...I don't mind staying, with a rookie or pro. *in thought* Someone better teach Cryoflare manners...
CryoFlare: *glares. In thought* Is this girl really a princess? Because I'm having my doubts.
Roy: Ok, the kitchen is at the end of this hallway but now....*leads them into a big open area*....the training room.
Luna: ...Hm. Interesting...
CryoFlare: Hmm. Pretty basic it seems, but okay.
Amberina: This room is also a virtual simulation room.
CryoFlare: Somehow I had that suspicion.
Luna: Um, before going on to that. I want to do something.
Roy: Like what?
Luna: ...I want to fight. *turns to Cryo with a slight glare* And I want to fight against you, Cryoflare.
CryoFlare: Pfft. Think you can handle me? I've handled things much bigger then you... and me.
Luna: Oh? *swiftly grabs Cryo by the wrist and overthrows him to the right side of the room* Well, I'm no girl to trifle with!
CryoFlare: *on his back on the floor, surprised* ... Gotta say, I was not prepared for that.
Luna: Isn't a hunter's job to be ready for anything? Even surprise attacks?
CryoFlare: Yes, when their on the job. Not touring an Airship that needs an upgrade!
Amberina: I am sick of your insults and your voice.
Luna: *sighs disappointed* I-I was trying to wake you up, since you seem very bored.
CryoFlare: Oh!... You know I like you alot more then that Princess.
Luna: *surprised* Y-You do? Why?
CryoFlare: You seem nice... Also, I got a good feeling from you.
Luna: ...You did, huh? *becomes bashful and looks away* T-Thanks, I-I guess... Your pretty interesting too...
CryoFlare: Thank you. Now then. *quickly gets up and transforms into his Kitsune Form on all fours* Think you're ready, Luna was it?
Roy: Holy crap, what?!
Luna: Yeah. I am. *takes out a knife* You go since I stole your first strike.
CryoFlare: Well okay then. Blizzard Blower! *fires a stream of ice and snow at Luna*
Luna: *she jumps and swiftly lunges at Cryoflare for a tackle*
Roy: Whoa!
Amberina: They are...skilled.
CryoFlare: *smirks and turns into a shadow, sinking into the floor*
Luna: ! *upon landing, she quickly gets into a defensive stance with another knife in hand*
CryoFlare: *creates a mouth from the shadow and blows a blizzard from under her*
Luna: Aaah!! *takes the blizzard attack and tries to endure the cold as well as keeping stance*
CryoFlare: *moves away and takes the form of a serpent using the shadow* What's the matter? Can't take the cold?
Luna: ...T-That's nothing! I had a lot worse than you could have imagine!
CryoFlare: Pfft! You wanna bet? *unleashes a stream of fire at her*
Luna: *dodges and throws the knifes at Cryoflare, secertly throwing two more as well*
CryoFlare: *the knifes go through him and remains unaffected* Can't hurt a shadow.
Luna: Tch! *in thought* What do I do now? I can't hurt him if he's like this! *backs up alittle*
Roy: What?
Amberina: They are strong...they proven that....I do commend their strength.
CryoFlare: *exits his shadow state and goes into his Kaiju Form. punches his knuckles together* Here I come! *begins charging at Luna*
Luna: *in thought* So now he's charging at me? Bold, but not smart. *She waits for the very last moment and moves aside swiftly*
CryoFlare: Kaiju Shell Strike! *gets in shell and spins around greatly, turning to Luna*
Luna: !? *gets slammed a couple feet away, landing on her back* Agh! Why you–-! *quickly gets on her feet again*
CryoFlare: *exits spin and pops out of shell* What did you expect? I'm also a Veteren Fighter.
Amberina: This battle is now getting out of control...
Roy: Looks fine to me...
Amberina: For now. But not for long...
Luna: I pretty much knew that since I first took a glance at you. *charges at CryoFlare, and does a sucker punch at him*
CryoFlare: ... You know one interesting thing that my Kaiju form has besides strength? *grabs Luna* Very hard scales for protection. *throws Luna across the room*
Luna: *lands on the floor, harsher than before* GAH! *gets up and charges at him again*
CryoFlare: *charges forward*
Luna: *smirks and slides under him as soon impact was about to come*
CryoFlare: *performs a roll*
Luna: *surprised but also impressed* Damn, your not good. Your pretty amazing in the battlefield.
CryoFlare: Why thank you.
Luna: Your welcome~ But play time is over, sadly.
Luna: No. I just going to apologize ahead of time for what's about to come. *she goes into a trace, eyes darkening into a bloody red*
CryoFlare: *raises eyebrow* What the? *in thought* This feeling. I've got a bad feeling about this.
Roy: W-What the?!
Luna: *she swiftly lunges at Cryoflare and punches his stomach, however stronger than ever*
CryoFlare: Oof! *is forced backwards but gains his footing* What the heck just happened?
Luna?: *she charges once again and does a dropkick attack*
CryoFlare: *takes it* What the heck? *unleashes a flamethrower*
Luna?: *dodges swiftly and tackles him full force, giggling evilly*
CryoFlare: *braces tackle. Raises eyebrow* What the? *is she channeling dark energy or something?
Luna?: I think it should be obvious, Cryoflare. "I" just took over "her"~
CryoFlare: Oh great, her darkside has taken over... Which I'll be honest, I didn't see that coming... None the less, I know what to do. *blows ice cold clouds to hide himself*
Luna?: Hmph. It's useless. *stays in place* It's almost over anyway.
CryoFlare: Your absolutely right, it is almost over... *exits out of ice cloud and shows that he's in his Pony Form, Wings spread out* ... For you that is!
Luna?: *scoffs* Try me, darling. I want you to try and hit me.
CryoFlare: You asked for it. Frozen Fire Rainbow! *fires a rainbow with fiery and icy energy at the darkened Luna*
Luna?: *takes the hit, struggling to stand*
Roy:What happened to her?
Amberina:...I sense...a great darkness around her...
CryoFlare: Had enough or you want more?... Shadow of Luna...
Luna?: ...Oh bite me. *lunges at Cryo with a dagger in hand*
CryoFlare: *grabs her in place using magic* Well, if that didn't work, then maybe this will. *starts spinning her around, trying to make her dizzy*
Luna?: *surprised* Wh-What!?!
CryoFlare: *keeps spinning her around, hoping that the real Luna comes back out*
Luna?: *begins to get very dizzy, slow turning back to normal*
CryoFlare: *stops spinning her around and levitates her back on the ground* That should do it.
Luna: *back to normal, but unfourtanetly dizzy and clumsy* Ooh~ Head spinning....
CryoFlare: Yeah, sorry about that. You were going... dark... so I had to snap you out of it somehow. Spinning you around was the only thing that came to mind.
Luna: n-no. *tries to stay in place* I should be sorry for letting her take over.
Roy: Whoa...they're good.
Amberina: And I think I've seen enough...
CryoFlare: Well anyway, you might want to try and keep better control over her. *she looks like she's becoming less dizzy and sees the form he's in*
Luna: Eaiser said than... *sees his current form* ...done. You look... Really cute in that form.
CryoFlare: Um, thank you. Funny, I was expecting a diffirent reaction for some reason.
Luna: After what you did!?
CryoFlare: No. After seeing me as a Pony.
Luna: ugh, whatever. You won. *huffs*
CryoFlare: *raises an eyebrow and looks to the screen*
Amberina: *walks up* You two are no doubt powerful. I admire of your skills.
Luna: Thank you, I guess.
CryoFlare: Thank you. *in thought* The nicest thing she's said to me all day.
Roy: Well...since we've got everything out of the way, you guys can go settle into your rooms. Once your done, meet back here so we could discuss our first mission.
CryoFlare: *in thought* Even though I already have a home and won't really move.
Amberina: *turns to Cryo* As I said before, you DON'T have to stay here.
CryoFlare: ... ?! *in thought* Did she just read my mind or something?
Luna: ...R-right...
Amberina: Hmph. *walks off calmly*
Roy: Please excuse her...I don't know why she's acting like this...
Luna: *in thought* ...He isn't that bad as a person.
Roy: Anyway, you guys go and get comfy. I'll call you through the intercom in a hour. Thanks for joining. Really. *walks off*
CryoFlare: ... okay.
Luna: ...I'm still not sure if I really wanna join.
CryoFlare: Agreed. I only came here to make sure the rookies that made those posters didn't kill themselves.
Luna: Well, I'm no rookie. I was hunting for that damned Incubus at the time.
CryoFlare: Not bad. I just finished taking down a Wendigo when Hornet called and told me about the poster.
Luna: Wendigo? How boring~!
CryoFlare: Do you even know what a Wendigo is?
Luna: It's a deer with sharp teeth, right?
CryoFlare: ... I'm pretty sure that's something else.
Luna: ...Smartass.
CryoFlare: *rolls eyes*
Luna: *rolls eyes at him and leaves the training room*
CryoFlare: *leaves training room aswell*
Luna: ...CryoFlare, right? Who's that Hornet guy you mentioned earlier? A friend?
CryoFlare: That and my robot. He's back at my home with my partners.
Luna: Partners?
CryoFlare: AeroBubble, NeoLeaf, TerraBolt and NecroSteel.
Luna: Ah. It must be nice having partners.
CryoFlare: Pretty much. Though I usually do jobs solo. Lets them take care of stuff back home usually.
Luna: I see. I don't really have any partners at all. I've always work alone.
CryoFlare: Oh.
Roy:*on the intercom* Uhhh,guys. Scratch that hour wait thing. Our first target just shown itself.
Luna: *disappointed* I guess we'll have to talk later...
CryoFlare: *sighs* Looks like it.
Luna: This better be worth it. *heads to the meeting room*
CryoFlare: Agreed. *heads to the meeting room aswell*
Roy: Oh good, there you are. *brings up the target on the main computer screen* Here it is.
CryoFlare: *takes a look* ... A Chupacabra? Are you kidding me? Those things are easy to take care of. Their Rookie level Cryptids.
Luna: El Chupacabra? ...Por Que!?
CryoFlare: ... Excuse me?
Roy: -_-; This rookie thing is really starting to get to me here...
Luna: Oh, oops! *covers mouth embarrassed* Los siento. Spanish tounge seemed to slipped.
CryoFlare: Um... okay. Not that I know any spanish or anything.
Luna: But anyway... Why El Chupacabra?
CryoFlare: Some folks must have spotted one or something. They usually mistake them for coyotes with mange.
Roy: Well, this was the first thing the computer picked up.
Luna: ...Is it near a town or city, scaring people?
CryoFlare: Oh please. We're no where near their natural habitat, the border of Mexico and Texas. That's where alot of them live now... well, that and Chile.
Luna: *rolls eyes, in thought* As if I knew that already.
Roy: Hold that thought.*walks off to the cockpit*
CryoFlare: *sighs and waits*
*the ship is directed to the border of Mexico*
*Mins later...*
Roy: Ok then. NOW we're at the border. Isn't this baby awesome or what?
CryoFlare: To be honest... not really. I could be wrong, but I think I heard afew shakes here and there on the ship... That or there was something in my ear.
Roy:....-_-;...I'm...just gonna go land this thing.
Luna: ...No offense kid, but... I don't really see the magic in this old thing. *in thought* And I promise to give it one hell of a upgrade.
Roy:*walks off to go land the ship*
*The ship lands in a open area in the Mexico/Texas border*
Roy: Ok,we've landed.
CryoFlare: Okay, so Why are we going after a Chupacabra? Again, their Rookie level cryptids and only one of us here is a rookie.
Roy: Please stop calling me a Rookie already. It's getting annoying.
CryoFlare: Well quite frankly kid, you are.
Luna: Whatever. The faster we take care of it, the faster we can get back to talking.
Roy:....*breaths out heavily* R-Right. Amberina, can you see if you can track it.
Amberina: Let me see....*she closes her eyes and is covered in a light aura*...hmmm...
CryoFlare: *in thought* He still hasn't answered my question.
Luna: *takes out her custom phone once again and uses a radar, immediately getting a small reaction* ...Hmph. It must be getting food.
CryoFlare: Probably. Blood suckers they are, but they still need food. Might be going after afew rats or bugs.
Amberina: *the aura disappers* I seem to found it...it's just a few feet ahead. *puts her hand on her head* Ngh....forgive me. I need a moment to rest from that long moment of concentration.
Luna: ...Amber, I have radar that's up to date, so you don't have to worry about your powers. Besides, I already knew that, since it's getting food.
Amberina: Very well then...
CryoFlare: So again, Why are we trying to track down a Chupacabra?
Roy: First thing on this long list of Cryptids installed on the ship's Holonet.
CryoFlare: ... That's it?
Luna: ... Really?
Roy: Basically....
Luna: ...Roy boy. I tried REALLY hard to be nice. But, I don't think I can anymore. A List? No reason besides a list? Not because of upcoming danger to the humans?
CryoFlare: Ugh. So your basically going to track down cryptids just to complete a list? A list that doesn't need completed because the Cryptid Hunter's society already has files on every cryptid.
Amberina: We have other reasons....reasons we're not going to expose.
Luna: But after what Roy said.... I think I wanna call it quits.
CryoFlare: *gets out bottled water* What, are you going to show the rest of the world that their real? *drinks bottled water*
Roy: It's for other reasons!
CryoFlare: By the looks of things, Rookie reasons.
Luna: I don't even know anymore. Sorry Amber, but Rookie really killed it there. *begins to walk off, looking for a nearby town*
Amberina: I am sick of your voice. *flicks Cryo's nose again*
CryoFlare: *gets annoyed and slaps her face* And I'm sick of your additude towards me Princess! *turns around*
Roy: AMBER! *turns to Cryo* W-WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! Do you even know how to treat a lady or a Princess?! What you did right there was just...just...WRONG!!!
*Luna is already far off from the group*
CryoFlare: Hmph. *sarcasstically* Yeah, she's a real Princess alright. Listen Rookie, this list of yours you can do on your own. It's a complete waste of time for someone like me and an obvious waste of time for someone like Luna. You want a team of Rookie's? Go to a Cryptid society website. I'm out. *goes into Draco form and flies off in the direction Luna has gone*
Roy: I DON'T NEED A JERK LIKE YOU ANYWAY!!!! *runs up to Amberina, who's on knees and close to tears* Amber, are you ok?
Amberina:*lifts her head up* I-I think so...
Roy: Come on...let me get you something to drink. *stands her up and walks her to the nearest town*
*near a town in Texas*
Luna: *already at the nearby town in a café shop, drinking some coffee. In thought* I honestly thought this would be worth it. Being in a team for once. I guess I should stick to solo jobs.
CryoFlare: *Lands near a Pizzaria right next to the Cafe Shop. in thought* I knew from the minute I saw that poster that I would regret going there.
Luna: *in thought* ...But I guess aside from Rookie and Amber, I guess Cryoflare made the short lived experience worth while. Either way, I'm not joining a team like that again.
Roy:*walks Amberina into the café shop and sits them both down at a table* Are you ok now?
Amberina:*wiping for face* I was slapped in the face by a brute like I was some kind of...I don't even know...
Roy: I know. That was just wrong. Believe me, some men was raised to tip our hats and open doors for women so I don't know what gave that jerk that audacity to slap you in the face.
Amberina: I guess he wasn't one of those men...
CryoFlare: *A couple walk up to the Pizzaria behind him. He opens the door and offers them to go in first*
Luna: *overhears Roy and Amber from the seat where she is, but decides to ignore them, pretending they don't exisit*
Roy: Great....this whole idea was nothing but a bust....at the rate things are going now, I might have to do this on my own...
Amberina: Roy, you can't. I know that you're still upset that your brother's in a coma but it's too reckless.
Roy: Amber, you just got slapped in the face but some guy who looked like his hair was frozen solid. If that happens again....*points at his gem*...."he's" gonna react to it. You know what happened last time "he" reacted.
Luna: ...? *in thought as she overheard them* Coma? ...So he's doing it for his brother?
CryoFlare: *goes to one of the outside tables with his Pizza, goes into his original form and begins eating*
Amberina: Your other self will under control as long as you control your emotions.
Luna: *in thought* Maybe I made my verdict on him too soon... No! What am I saying? That kid deserved it. Ugh, whatever! *gets up from her seat and leaves the café, now going for a small walk around town*
CryoFlare: *continues eating*
Amberina: We might as well order something...Ummm..excuse me! Waiter!
Luna: *passes by the pizzeria, not really caring anymore*
CryoFlare: *sees Luna walk by* ...?
Luna: *doesnt notice Cryoflare as she walks by*
CryoFlare: *just lets her go, seeing that she looks annoyed about something*
Luna: ...! *stops a moment and looks back at the pizzeria, now noticing Cryoflare*
CryoFlare: *continues eating his pizza*
Luna: *she decides to go to the pizzeria and sit down where Cryo is sitting.*
CryoFlare: *opens an eye sees Luna sitting down, a pizza slice in his mouth* ... Um, can I help you?
Luna: ...Didn't I see ya around. I thought you went somewhere else.
CryoFlare: I decided to get something to eat before I went home.
Luna: I see. Well, since we're here, I suppose we can continue our conversation before we we're interrupted.
CryoFlare: Okay I guess... Where did we get to before the interruption?
Luna: Hmm... Oh, right! I think were on the partner topic. Like I said, I always worked alone. Never really had anyone to depend on, like you.
CryoFlare: Well, most of the jobs I usually do it solo while they take care of stuff at home.
Luna: Right. But still, I think your lucky to have partners.
CryoFlare: Well thank you... I guess.
Luna: Your welcome...
Roy" *sighs and sits back in his chair* I really thought that these guys would help us....
Amberina: So did I...but I guess things weren't meant to be.
CryoFlare: *finishes the last slice of Pizza, leaving only the crust* Mmm. Good pizza.
Luna: *chuckles* Ya know. I kinda wish the team worked out.
CryoFlare: What do you mean?
Luna: I mean that a team of hunters is a good idea. Rookie just didn't have right mind set for it.
CryoFlare: Pfft. Tell me about it. He used posters to get his message out. Posters!
Luna: Now now... Let's forget about him. Speaking of the little dork, a little birdie told me something rather intresting~
CryoFlare: Huh? What is it?
Roy:....Part of me is glad they're gone....just thinking of how much I was called a rookie..it just...just...*his hair flashes red for a moment and his Xious Gem starts shining*
Amberina: Roy! Roy! Calm down....
Roy:*sighs deeply and sits back in his chair* I couldn't even keep my anger under control..
Amberina: Just forget about them. We'll just start over.
Luna: That dork is doing this whole thing for his brother, who's in a coma as of now.
CryoFlare: ... Okay, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. That makes no sense at all.
Luna: I don't know the details exactly on why though, but it must be for a good reason.
CryoFlare: Seems like a reason that makes no sense to me.
Luna: I... Suppose... *becomes silent and slightly suspicious, as if something is wrong*
*the Fire Red Xious Gem then starts shining around Roy's neck, catching Roy's and Amberina's attention*
CryoFlare: *starts sensing something with his aura abilities* ...
Luna: ... *gets up and takes out her phone, in radar mode* Something is nearby, isn't it?
Amberina: The Xious Gem is reacting...
Roy: That means something's about to happen....
CryoFlare: It looks like it. Whatever it is, I'm picking it up with my aura abilities.
Amberina: Come. We have to check this out!
Roy: Right!
*the two of them run outside*
Luna: My radar is picking it up as well. Hold on... You don't think that—-*gets a very strong suspison*!! Cryo, we have to move, now!
CryoFlare: Agreed. Let's go. *runs and follows his aura sense*
Luna: *follows Cryo*
*as they both arrive outside, they stop*
Roy: Can you where the danger is?
Amberina: I can but I need a moment...*she closes her eyes and is covered in a light aura as she focuses*
CryoFlare: *follows his aura sense*
Luna: *her radar on her phone begins to react stonger* We should be close to it by now.
CryoFlare: I know, I can tell.
Amberina:*stops and points in a direction* That way!!!
Roy: Come on! *he runs ahead and she follows*
Luna: *takes out a knife* I see~ *her radar begins to go nuts* But aside that, we found our guy.
*Roy and Amberina runs faster as they are close to the location*
CryoFlare: I know. And I know what it is too.
*The find it in an alleyway over a dead stray dog completely drained of blood. It was a green canine with red eyes and a mowahawk along the back that made it look like the creature had spikes on his back*
CryoFlare: A Chupacabra.
Luna: El Chupacabra, huh? *puts away her phone! now ready to fight* So, what's the plan?
CryoFlare: We bring it back to it's natural Habitat. This isn't the right place for it.
*Roy and Amberina then stops at the area*
Amberina: There it is!
Roy: And it isn't alone...
Luna: Better knock it out cold then.
Roy: Amber, stay back...
Amberina: *grabs his arm* Roy, fighting in your human form will get you killed.
Roy: I can handle myself!!!
CryoFlare: Or put it to sleep. *turns head* Oh great, the Rookie and the not so princess.
Amberina: Shut up, you brute! I should set your organs on fire for slapping me in the face!!!
Luna: ...EVERYONE SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!
CryoFlare: *looks at Luna* O_o
*the chupacabra looks in surprise aswell*
Amberina: *sighs and calms down, turning from the crowd with her arms crossed*
Roy:*looks at Luna and gulps*
Luna: *obviously pissed* I'm not in the mood for anymore bullshit from any of ya! If you guys don't compromise, then I WILL! *lunges at the Chupacabra, doing a false swipe*
*The Chupacabra moves back in fright*
Luna: That's only a warning. If I see you there in the city again, I won't hesitate to kill you on the spot. Understood!?
*The El Chupacabra stands up on it's hind legs, unfolds it's wings and screeches at Luna. It's attempting to make itself look bigger*
Luna: *scoffs as if it was nothing and throws the knife at his left hind leg*
*The Chupacabra flies up, avoiding the knife*
Luna: *gets into a defensive stance, ready to counter*
Amberina: I have a bad feeling about this...don't you think we sure help out?
CryoFlare: Not just yet. The time isn't right.
*the Chupacabra screeches some more*
Luna: *remains in the stance, unfazed* Is that ALL your gonna do?! C'mon, attack me!
*The Chupacabra continues screeching*
CryoFlare: *hearing the Chupacabra* ... Hold on.
Amberina: What is it?
Luna: *turns to Cryo* Hm?
CryoFlare: *turns into his Kitsune Form and starts barking at the Chupacabra. The 2 exchange screechs and barks as if talking to one another*
Luna: .... *eases up her stance, abit amazed*
CryoFlare: Mm Hm. I see. This Chupacabra became frightened when some people in an airship came to his territory. The caught one of his kind and he feared that he'd get caught too, so he fled to here.
Luna: O-Oh... That makes sense now.
CryoFlare: Yeah... But why would people be after a Chupacabra? Most people don;t believe in them and no official people have tried to get them ever since the Cryptid Hunter society was formed. Very Strange.
Roy: People...in a airship...
Luna: ...Unless... Unless there are poachers that know about their existence.
CryoFlare: Even more strange. There's something going on here, and I don't like it.
Roy: Neither do I...
Amberina: What could this mean?
Luna: Likewise.
CryoFlare: Well, from what I can tell... It means the Cryptids of the world are in danger.
Luna: ... *sighs* Hate to say it, but we can't do it alone guys.
Roy: Same here.
CryoFlare: Agreed. If these poachers know about cryptids and they have lots of technology, there's no telling what they'll do.
Luna: Right. And I think we should be the ones to stop them. As a team.
Roy: So that means...you guys are...
CryoFlare: Don't think this means your the leader though Rookie. Your a million years from becoming that.
Roy: Ignoring that....but before you even think about joining,Cryo, you owe Amberina a apology for slapping her across the face.
Luna: You two dorks shut up before I slap you both silly.
CryoFlare: ... Gotcha.
Roy: No, seriously. Apologize to her. I'm not letting this go til you do.
Luna: *grabs Roy* Maybe you should ease up about your girlfriend. We are gonna move on and be friends. Comprende?
Roy:*he growls and his eyes turn red* I said I'm NOT letting this go!!!
Amberina: Oh no, not again! Roy, please calm down!
Luna: *lets him go* I don't know what happened and I don't care. Are you asking to just be killed? Now calm the fuck down and apologize to Cryoflare first. You and Amber we're complete assholes to him.
Amberina:I was acting like that to him because I didn't trust him. His smart mouth just makes me sick!
Luna: I am well aware he can be a smartass, but he really has a good heart. Your just being a bitch about it Amber. Now suck it up, you little slut!
Roy:.....*his eyes turn red again, he's covered in a fire aura,his Xious Gem is shining bright, and summons his Inferno Blade sword in his hand and points it at Luna*...This is my last warning to both of you. Rookie or not, I'm dead serious. Don't you dare say or do such things to Amber or else, I'll rip your body parts off, ONE BY ONE, and watch your blood spill all over the ground! GOT THAT?!
CryoFlare: Oh stop it already. *bonks Roy on the head hard*
Luna: ... *shrugs* Calm down. I'm only saying the truth.
Roy: GAHHH!!! *Ended up falling on one knee,making the aura and sword disappear, the eyes turn back to normal, and Xious Gem stop shining* Just stop making me angry....I don't normally go and say stuff like that....
CryoFlare: Eh, I've heard more threatening from villians I've faced. You angry isn't a threat to me.
Roy: Just stop making me angry! I'm trying to keep this...."power" under control.
CryoFlare: Oh just stop.
Roy: Fine. Don't believe me.
Luna: *slams fist on the wall, making a crack* ENOUGH!!
CryoFlare: O_o!
Amberina: *turns and ignores them*
Luna: *gives everyone a very deadly glare* This has gone long enough. And your leader, you both will compromise NOW, with NO bitching! Do I make myself clear all of you!?
Roy: Y-YES MA'AM!!!
Amberina: I refuse to accept her as the leader.
Luna: Amber. I can really get nasty. And I don't need no magic for that.
Amberina: I don't care. I faced against worst during the war that destroyed my home planet so you don't scare me.
Luna: Oh? Tell me if you were forced to be alone and fend for yourself for 5 years straight. No friends. No family. No support. And no magic force.
Amberina: I had to suffer that kind of life before the Xious Gems even existed!
Roy: Ladies,ladies,come on, we can all be friends here...
Amberina: Hmph....my life is none of your concern. Nobody will even care about it. *turns* Fine. Do as you wish. But my eyes are on the both of you.
Luna: *turns, pouting* ...I tried to be nice now, but this is what I freaking get.
Amberina:*starts pouting*
Roy: Females are some strange creatures.
CryoFlare: ... *sighs* Rookie, just don't bother.
Roy: Would you- You know what? Never mind. Getting ripped to shreds isn't on my agenda.
CryoFlare: Much better.
Luna: ... *in thought, trying calm her new headache* Oh, what have I gotten myself into...?
CryoFlare: *in thought* I wonder what those people have planned?
*somewhere, in a dark lite office*
Boss: *2 knocks on the door* Enter.
*the two enter, being poachers*
Poacher 1: ...The mission was successful, sir. We were able to the get the chupacabra.
Boss: Excellent. Any problems?
Poacher 2: None sir. Though one did fly into the nearist town in Texas. There were also signs that others were there not long before we arrived.
Poacher 1: More than likely, rookie hunters.
Boss: Hmph. They are of no threat to us.
Poacher 1: Even so, I shall research those hunters. I have a suspisous feeling about those fools.
Boss: Very well then. Do as you wish. In the end, nothing will stop us and our goals.
*both poachers nod in agreement*

New Efforts to Bring Extinct Species Back to Life
The passenger pigeon went extinct almost 100 years ago. But new breakthroughs in genetics are encouraging scientists to try to bring this bird species and other extinct animals back to life. Scientists say reviving the passenger pigeon, the woolly mammoth and other species long thought to be gone forever will transform the way we think about extinction and life itself. And the new technology is beginning to be applied to help save endangered animals. Yet some wildlife conservationists warn so-called "de-extinction" is expensive and will not come close to solving the current extinction crisis.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Regina Spektor
Spektor further developed her classical piano training by attending the SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory. During her studies, she was exposed to blues and jazz artists, including Billie Holiday. These sounds made such an impact on Spektor that they became a big part of her self-released 2001 debut album, 11:11. At the same time, she was also playing gigs anywhere she could in the city, in venues ranging from basements to parties to comedy clubs. On the strength of her frequent performances and another self-released album, 2002's Songs, Spektor developed a following that included Alan Bezozi, They Might Be Giants' drummer. He introduced Spektor to the Strokes' producer, Gordon Raphael, and both worked with Spektor on her third album, Soviet Kitsch, in both New York and London (where she collaborated with the band Kill Kenada). Soviet Kitsch was initially self-released like her other work, but it eventually found a wider release with Sire Records.
Tours with the Strokes, Kings of Leon, Mates of State, and the Moldy Peaches' Kimya Dawson further raised Spektor's profile. She also toured the U.K., where the success of "Us" as a European single led to the release of the CD/DVD retrospective Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories early in 2006. That summer, Begin to Hope, her first album of original material for Sire, arrived. Begin to Hope enjoyed popularity on both sides of the Atlantic and went gold in America, where it also cracked the Top 20. After taking several years to tour and compose new material, Spektor returned in 2009 with Far, which featured a bevy of star producers, including Jeff Lynne, David Kahne, Mike Elizondo, and Garret "Jacknife" Lee. Spektors first-ever live release, Live in London, was recorded and filmed at London's legendary Hammersmith Apollo, and released in 2010. In summer 2011, Spektor reunited with Elizondo in Los Angeles to begin recording her next album, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats. The dark, driving single "All the Rowboats" arrived the following February, and the album itself was released in May 2012. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Over the next 10 days, Cardiac Cane will look at the top 10 prospects in the Carolina Hurricanes' system. Taken into account will be potential and how soon the player could make the Hurricanes' roster, among other things.
Background: Played three seasons at Union College scoring 44 points in 40 games in his junior season before signing with the Hurricanes. Completed his rookie season with the Charlotte Checkers last season.
An undrafted signing by GM Jim Rutherford, Welsh did not live up to expectations in his rookie season with the Charlotte Checkers.
It was expected that Welsh could be a secondary scorer on the second line, but the 25-year-old only scored 26 points in 69 games. However, 14 of those points were goals.
He also played in five games with the Hurricanes last season, recording one assist.
But given his size and work ethic, Welsh could make the Canes roster as early as next season on a fourth-line basis.
Welsh is 6-foot-3, taller than most of the players on the Hurricanes' roster and is not afraid of gritty play, which would be a welcome addition to the team. The Union College alum can also play the penalty kill.
For the most part, that is all Welsh can bring to the table. He'll never be a scorer in the NHL, so excelling in the little things is what Welsh needs to focus on to make the Hurricanes next season.
But for a team that needs size and grit, Welsh could be an interesting prospect to watch in the near future.

Orcas circle ferry transporting tribal artifacts to Bainbridge Island
A large pod of orcas swam around a Washington state ferry in an impressive display as it happened to be carrying tribal artifacts to a new museum at the ancestral home of Chief Seattle.
The Associated Press
A large pod of orcas swam around a Washington state ferry in an impressive display as it happened to be carrying tribal artifacts to a new museum at the ancestral home of Chief Seattle, and some people think it was more than a coincidence.
Killer whales have been thrilling whale watchers this week in Puget Sound, according to the Orca Network, which tracks sightings.
But they were especially exciting Tuesday when nearly three dozen orcas surrounded the ferry from Seattle as it approached the terminal on Bainbridge Island. On board were officials from The Burke Museum in Seattle who were moving ancient artifacts to the Suquamish Museum.
The artifacts were dug up nearly 60 years ago from the site of the Old Man House in Kitsap County, the winter village for the Suquamish tribe and home of Chief Sealth, also known as Chief Seattle. The Burke, a natural-history museum on the University of Washington campus, is known for Northwest Coast and Alaska Native art.
Also on board the state ferry was Suquamish Tribal Chairman Leonard Forsman, who happened to be returning from an unrelated event. As the ferry slowed near the terminal, it was surrounded by the orcas, Forsman said Wednesday.
"They were pretty happily splashing around, flipping their tails in the water," he said. "We believe they were welcoming the artifacts home as they made their way back from Seattle, back to the reservation."
The killer whales have been in Puget Sound feeding on a large run of chum salmon, he said.
"We believe the orcas took a little break from their fishing to swim by the ferry, to basically put a blessing on what we were on that day," he said.
Forsman believes there's a spiritual tie between the tribe and the orcas. "They are fishermen like we are," he said.
It was an auspicious arrival for about 500 artifacts that The Burke Museum had held for nearly 60 years, Suquamish Museum Director Janet Smoak said.
They include tools, decorative items and bits of bone and rock that date back 2,000 years.
The Old Man House — the largest known longhouse on the Salish Sea — was located at Suquamish on the shore of Agate Passage, about 13 miles northwest of Seattle. Chief Sealth, for whom Seattle is named, is buried there.
The longhouse was burned down by the U.S. government in the late 1800s. The artifacts were collected by a University of Washington archaeological investigation in the 1950s, according to the Burke Museum.
In 2012, the tribe completed its new museum, which includes a climate-controlled environment. The artifacts will be displayed to illustrate Suquamish culture in an exhibit called Ancient Shores Changing Tides.
Everyone was talking about the orcas at the Tuesday museum-blessing ceremony and feast, Smoak said.
"Everyone was really excited and moved by the event," she said.
The orcas, identified from their markings as members of the J and K pods, were seen this week along several routes between the Seattle area and the west side of Puget Sound, according to Howard Garrett of the Orca Network at Freeland, Island County.
He thought their intersection with the ferry carrying tribal artifacts was uncanny.
"I can't rule out somehow they could pick up on the mental energy that there is something special there. Or it could be a coincidence," he said. "I don't know."

It's literally dead boss.
Full event details here
How does it work?
The format for the B.O.S.S. has been borrowed from the American Bouldering Championships and the idea is to reward climbers for maximum effort instead of flashing (like our Winter League). You score points for each problem you climb to the top and match the finishing hold. The number of goes does not matter. Each problem is worth 1000 points divided by the number of people that climb it, for example a problem that is climbed by 20 people is worth 50 points (1000/20=50).
Find out more about the scoring system.
At the start of the night,. Collect a scorecard and a pen, tick each problem you climb and at the end of the night we will tell you how many points each problem is worth and you can add your scores up.
Do I have to be good?
We get asked this all the time, the answer is always no! If you have never competed before, don't worry you don't have 'to be good.' If you can climb a green then there will be loads you can get up. Hangar competitions are a far cry from what you might be used to; imagine being cheered on by those you are competing against and asking them for advice to begin with. Competition nights here are far from a serious event and more about testing your problem solving skills and observing others to see if you can use their techniques. It's an amazing night for developing your skills as a climber and you will almost certainly come away with a few extra friends.

The Kansas Jayhawks came into tonight's game versus New Mexico trying to end their two game slide at Colorado and at Florida. Forty miles East of Lawrence, the Jayhawks entered the Sprint Center with something to prove.
Off to a slow start, Kansas was neck and neck with the Lobos the entire first half, a first half that looked eerily similar to their previous two games. The Jayhawks managed to cut back the turnovers however, only committing five in the first half. Foul trouble was still lingering as well for the KU big men as three players finished with 2+ fouls in the half (Traylor – 3, Ellis – 2, Embiid – 2). Joel Embiid, Freshman Center hailing from Cameroon, has the potential to be a significant factor in the Jayhawks success this season. Unfortunately, Embiid was only able to contribute two points and three rebounds in the first half of Saturday's game.
Andrew Wiggins struggled all night, finishing the game with 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks before picking up his fourth foul late in the second half and found himself on the bench the rest of the contest. Wiggins was the only double digit scorer in the first half for Kansas, posting 10 points.
Point Guard play and Center Joel Embiid have been the two key components that Coach Self has been waiting patiently for improvement in. Tonight, Self got his wish.
After holding on to a strenuous 39-38 lead going into the half, the Jayhawks came out with a bang in the second.
Point Guard Naadir Tharpe came to life, posting a season-high 9 assists as well as 8 points. Tharpe found his groove in the second half where he compiled seven of his nine assists and more importantly, emerged as the leader the young Jayhawks were so desperately in need of.
Seven-footer Joel Embiid took over in the second half, scoring 16 of his 18 points and shooting 5 of 5 from the field (2 Pts, 0-1 FG, 2-2 FT in 1st). Embiid was also able to corral six rebounds and add four emphatic blocks. Embiid gave onlookers goosebumps, finding himself in the "Akeem" zone tonight, as he displayed perhaps the prettiest "dream shake" I've seen since the man himself (Olajuwon).
Perry Ellis remains the Jayhawks "under the radar" guy with all the attention on the freshmen. Ellis finished the contest with team-highs 21 points and 9 rebounds.
The Jayhawks had four scorers reach double-digits tonight, Ellis with 21, Embiid with 18, Wiggins with 11, and fellow freshman Wayne Selden Jr. finished the contest with 10 points.
New Mexico's Cameron Bairstow and Kendall Williams both finished the game with 24 points. The rest of the team managed a combined 15.
Kansas might have possibly played their best half of the season tonight in the second half of their 80-63 victory in Kansas City. With Naadir Tharpe emerging as the leader of this team by getting the rest of the guys involved with his passing and poise, as well as Embiid gradually increasing his level of play, the Kansas Jayhawks continue pushing towards the greatness they have to potential to reach.
Kansas can be next seen in action on Saturday December 21 as they take on John Thompson III's Georgetown squad in Lawrence.

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Lauri L. passed a background check on 10/17/13. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Lauri, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Lauri was excellent when teaching math to our nine-year-old daughter. She arrived with good ideas for activities and was both enthusiastic and encouraging. Our daughter typically does not enjoy learning math for any length of time, but she easily spent an hour with Lauri and had no complaint. Afterwards, Lauri sent a thorough evaluation of the session, including our daughter's strength's and weaknesses. I would definitely recommend her.
Our daughter has been working with Lauri for several months. Lauri is patient, kind, and intuitive. She relates well to our daughter and is both positive and encouraging. We have felt really fortunate and blessed to have her working our daughter. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Lauri has been great. She is very patient. She knows her stuff. She explains difficult math problems in a very easy digestible way. And she has been very responsive and accommodating to all our schedule changes. We love Lauri!
I found Lauri's advice to be very helpful. I appreciated how she took the time to go into great detail regarding the suggestions that she made. Lauri's understanding of the art of writing was very extensive.
My son has been working with Lauri for about a month, and I believe she is one of the true teachers of this world. While algebra may be a specialty of hers, you can tell teaching in general has been a huge part of her life. She understands and relates to my son, who has struggled for years with a learning style that has never been very successful in the traditional, mainstream school system. My son is making great strides working with Lauri. We are also very grateful for her willingness to suggest and try innovative approaches!
My son met Laurie for the first time on Thursday evening. Laurie is going to help him fine tune his writing, and hopefully, get him to enjoy writing instead of treating it like a chore! She was great breaking the ice with him and had a super topic (funny pet stories) all picked out. She really encouraged him, gave him praise and worked to find out the parts of writing he doesn't like and talk him through those steps! And, he really liked her...they had a good time, but I could feel his confidence growing. After one meeting, I couldn't be happier. She is a great match for my son!

For those who are discontented with one of the finest documents every written, namely the U.S. Constitution, there is another option: move to the Middle East.
If you do, please take along Barack Hussein Obama. He is an insult to our country.
He believes he is above the law by breaking the law, lying, jeopardizing our safety, sending money and supplies to other nations that abhor us and doing his utmost to destroy freedom of religion. The list goes on and on.
Wake up, Americans, and give some thought to all the boys and men who gave their lives through all the wars to keep America unique and free of Communism and dictators.

Post with 24 notes
Self-reblogging isn't a thing. Blast.
This is a thing that I came up with a year and a half ago; it was fun, so I want to try it again You feed me random words, I try to make a coherent setting out of it. Have at ye!
The rules: I'll make a form for you to fill out and put in my Ask. In each field, enter a word or phrase, and my task is to take that word or phrase and spin it into a paragraph about the world in question. The field:
The Genre:
The Science:
The Wonder:
The Big:
The Small:
The Good:
The Bad:
The Twist:
And definitions:
The Genre: (Fairly obvious)
The Science: (A word related to how science—or magic—work in the setting, and what level of tech/magic use we're talking about here, since even space opera can be made to work with medieval technology)
The Wonder: (A word relating to some spectacular, stand-out feature of the setting)
The Big: (A word related to a major plot point that everyone would know about)
The Small: (A word related to a minor setting detail that adds fluff to the world)
The Good: (A word related to what the protagonists look like)
The Bad: (A word related to what the antagonists look like)
The Twist: (A word related to how things in the setting aren't what they seem—the crux on which the assumed conflict in a story set here would turn)
I don't know if anyone's likely to bite, but sure, why not.
This one's not a meme, exactly, so much as it is "come and engage in intensive world-building with me!", so I'll...
