The wolves circling Icicle glared at him and Leila, letting out menacing howls. Icicle seemed content, as if he was about to spar against a worthy opponent.
Icicle was remembering that one brutal paintball game fondly. It was supposed to be a "shooting practice". It hurt. A lot.
Reminiscing the times filled with joy and hardship, Icicle's mouth curled up into a smile.
Three wolves jolted from their positions, trapping Icicle in a triangular formation. Icicle swayed to the right, allowing Leila to smack one of the wolves down, while at the same time swinging his sword horizontally.
Bearing the brunt of the blow, Icicle's feet sunk into the soil. His legs were trembling, both from excitement and the strain.
Seeing the minor success of their brethren, the other wolves quickly followed, assaulting Icicle from all sides.
Icicle closed his eyes, immersing himself in the feeling of [Sense presence]. He felt a strange familiarity. This sensation was fairly similar to the one people have when they are followed. Where you think that someone is looking at you and you turn around, only to see that there's no one there.
Icicle was realizing there are several factors to that feeling. His hearing was limited to the 3m area, perceiving any, even the almost unhearable, sounds. Grunts, panting, howling... Every audible action made Icicle narrow down the area of where the wolves actually were.
His sense of smell was put to work. The foul breath of the wolves, their stinky fur and even the smell of musty, old blood... these seemingly unwanted odors actually helped Icicle track the wolves' positions.
Tiny air fluctuations, vibrations in the wind that blew past him, every piece of information began to gather, slowly forming a clear image.
It was only when Icicle blocked out his sight that he was able to perceive these things, like a blind man who slowly accustoms to the world of darkness, honing his other senses. Loiterous made such hard to experience sensations possible.
Finally, the last piece of the puzzle came into play. Killing intent! Icicle felt the menacing stares and hostile disposition from all around him. His entire being shook. This was a new discovery!
As excitement washed over Icicle, he also felt a his body tingling. This change made him realize this was a life or death situation! However, he was already used to such situations in real life, how could he still fear them?
You can die if you breathe in some unknown chemicals. You might die from choking on a lump of bread. Since you can die even from such simple actions, would you fear someone with a gun? If you don't fear a gun, would you fear some sharp fangs and claws?
Icicle's reasoning was quite simple. If you can die from almost anything, why worry about it? It was good to be aware of the dangers, but should you be a worrywart? Constantly making sure that you won't fall and break your leg? No, that would cause you to become paranoid!
Icicle's mouth curled up into a smile. He felt like a tibetan monk in the middle of meditation, rested and calm, looking at his body from third person view. Various images started to appear in his mind. Wolf silhouettes appear one after the other like holograms. Those shadowy figures circled around Icicle, growling, howling, lunging at him. Leila's hologram-like shadow was especially vivid.
As Icicle was experiencing the honing of his 6th sense, closely related to [Sense presence] skill, the other players glanced in his direction from time to time. They saw a madman with a squirrel on his shoulder dancing with the wolves, his sword slashing air more often than not.
Although the sight of it was ridiculous, when this seemingly suicidal player turned, the players realized he had his eyes closed! He was actually disregarding the wolves to the degree of closing his eyes!
But that was the opinion of a regular players. Those "ambitious" ones immediately called Icicle a hacker, others thought of "developer" or "GM's friend". Many of those suspicious players started recording the proceedings of the event.
Icicle didn't know about any of this. Even if he knew he most likely wouldn't care. There are always those black sheep that envy others. He focused on developing his [Sense presence] instead.
While Icicle was "dancing with the doggies", Faura and her friends desperately fought back against the wolves. With the help of the elite black and reddish squirrels, it was easier than before.
Noticing that Icicle's health dropped to about half, Faura shouted "Enna, heal him!"
Enna quickly collected herself. She looked at the window and was surprised, her heal didn't work. "It's out of range!" she drawled out.
Faura started thinking about the strategy to make her party close the gap. However, before she even managed to formulate the plan, she saw Icicle's HP refilling. "Weird, he didn't level up." she thought, furrowing her brows. "Could it be an HP potion? He knows that merchant Adian after all..."
Faura shook her head. It would be weird if Icicle didn't have any special measures. He was the one who started the event after all.
About 15 minutes have passed, the fierce battle went on.
Icicle continued honing his [Sense Presence], surrounded by the wolf pack. His mouth holding a perpetual smile, he slashed viciously. After 15 minutes of immersion he hit the wolves more often than air.
His jet black hair glistened in the sun. Droplets of sweat ran down his forehead, expelling the exhaustion and heat from his body.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open!
The wolf in front of him was smashed dead by Leila. She proudly puffed her chest, showing her majesty.
"I have finally gotten the hang of it." Icicle thought with a wicked smile on his fatigued face. "Heh, right on time." He checked his inventory and saw there were only three small potions left, given to him by Adian, each recovering 100 HP.
"This sounds interesting. I wonder if I can sense the Rogues in stealth now." Icicle pondered, as he moved quickly, shifting his position, allowing Leila to strike. With this whack-a-mole tactic, his experience rose quickly.
At least 80 wolves were killed by the Icicle and Leila duo. All of the loot was scooped up.
The players in the back were reduced to 1150 in number, unable to resist the violent wolf pack. However, they slowly made progress, reducing the numbers of wolves steadily. On the flanks, the remaining number of players fluctuated around 350.
Only Adian and Red Devil remained in tough positions.
Inferno saw that Icicle was standing in the middle of the wolf encirclement, like a dog trainer, playing fetch with his pupils. He quickly cast one of his so far unusable skills - [Ember Shield].
Fire Mage was a class focused solely on dealing damage. It had basically no defensive spells. However, no one said it couldn't have an offensive yet defensive spell. This skill was exactly [Ember Shield].
[Ember Shield] created 5 wisps of flame, floating around the chosen target, damaging anyone who came within its range. The spell lasted 10 minutes, its burn damage wasn't high, but it was enough to get the job done. Its use was simple - if your enemies are charging at you, you should make them pay!
Many fire element bosses inside Loiterous used a similar skill to [Ember Shield], making the melee attackers have to think of ways to counter it, or attack in the limited time window when it was on cooldown.
If used prudently, this spell could provide a great advantage. However, in most circumstances it was an unusable skill, thus, although powerful, it didn't provide much utility.
On the side, Enna managed her mana prudently, thus she still had quite a lot left. She cast [Bless] on Icicle, increasing his defense and magic resistance by a small amount. The effect lasted three minutes and for low level players this small increase in defense was often the difference between life and death.
Icicle saw two icons in his field of vision. They displayed the duration of the buffs and their effects. He realized that the [Ember Shield] didn't affect Leila at all. Based on his conjecture, Icicle figured out it's probably dealing damage outwards, with his body as the center. Since Leila was perched on his shoulder, she wasn't affected. He quickly waved the icons to the side, making them disappear.
The wolves which had previously attacked with crazed fervor and vigor, suddenly started whimpering. Their yelps resembled the wailing of ghost. They were scared of fire and now that wisps of flame were circling around Icicle, they couldn't even near him without taking damage.
Large groups of wolves scurried away, afraid of being burnt. Many players stared at Icicle with vigilant gazes. If he were to run into them with this kind of spell on, the damage would be devastating.
Icicle turned from the victim into a bully, chasing after the wolves with a wicked smile on his face.
As the wolves died and the battle progressed, Icicle leveled up to 9. When he looked at the status of his party, Faura and the rest were level 14. This made him smile bitterly. "Maybe calling Nix a retard wasn't such a great idea after all?" he shook his head.
The battlefield was getting calmer and calmer. The only relevant battles came to Adian versus Fleeting Violet Direwolf and Red Devil versus Primeval Direwolf.
Adian dodged another bolt of violet lightning. The sheer power given off by these bolts made his body shudder in fear. Getting hit was not an option. He shifted his ankles and the sole of his foot pushed him forward.
"[Chopping wood]!" he screamed, waving both of his one-handed axes covered with green, rippling light.
Fleeting Violet Direwolf didn't dodge. It stood majestically, slashing with its paw covered in a violet, sparking glow, emitting crackling noises!
Yet another crater appeared in the soil, making it look like the aftermath of a stampede crossing a minefield.
Adian panted, catching his breath with difficulty. He looked at the Fleeting Violet Direwolf who was as oppressive as ever, emitting ferocity and savagery. He drank one of the [Turbid Medium Healing Potions] Icicle gave him and stuffed wild boar meat into his mouth.
Adian considered changing one of his axes in favor of a shield, but then he wouldn't be able to deal any damage to the Violet Fleeting Direwolf. So, he gritted his teeth, wiped his mouth and rushed forward yet again.
The battle in the center of the clearing moved to the north. As the wind rustled the leaves, powerful shockwave sundered the ground, making the surface of the earth upturn.
Two paws clashed, one red, one silver. The trees behind the two creatures uprooted from the impact. Some were completely lopped off, leaving only their tree trumps clinging to their former positions, as if cut by a 10m tall lumberjack with one swing. No one dared to approach the two ancestors, their battle was on another level.
Icicle who has just routed the wolves ran back to the former defense line. [Ember Shield] was gone and he was slightly regretful. He enjoyed making the wolves flee.
He looked around only to realize that most of the wolves were dead. There were only remnants of them, scattered along the sides. He quickly told Enna to heal Adian, as he was a key component in this event. Even with almost all the wolves gone, Icicle still had a bad feeling.
"Shit, I knew something was wrong!" Icicle cursed. However, getting that one level made him able to equip his previously gathered equipment! Thus, Icicle quickly wore [Fluffy Wolf's Pelt Bag], [Fluffy Wolf Boots] and the [Silver-flowing Bracelet].
"What are my stats now?" Icicle checked the status window with curiosity.
Icicle had to take all of his equipment off first to add 2 points into Dexterity. Otherwise, every point in the 30s costs 3 points. This made him realize it will be hard to farm any statistics.
Author's note: Basically goes like this:
1-10 - 1 stat point per stat
11-30 - 2 stat points per stat
31-40 - 3 stat points per stat
41-50 - 4 stat points per stat etc.
"I feel like the stats are just a bunch of numbers. I can't move faster with the new boots if I can't reach that speed myself. It's like giving someone wings but not teaching him how to fly..." as he pondered, Icicle was on the verge of realizing what the stats really provided.
"When I fought against the wolves, every hit of theirs hurt like hell. It seems like HP represents a sheer number of hits you can take, as long as you're in good condition. If you're too tired or the pain is unbearable, you'll faint. Critical hits only appear when you hit the vital areas too." Icicle concluded. "Those devs really tried to make Loiterous feel real, almost too real, actually."
Icicle felt good about having high stats nonetheless. If even his stats were lower than others', then this "prank" set up by Nix would truly be a catastrophe.
"I was only able to heal him twice." Enna panted as if she ran a marathon. "That Fleeting Violet Direwolf is too fierce. It shot one bit of lightning at me and I almost died!" she whimpered. Enna wasn't brave to begin with, but fighting alongside her friends and constantly reminding herself that it's just a game helped her determination somewhat.
"That's good enough." Icicle patted Enna's head, ruffling her brown hair. "We have other things to worry about." he looked to the left and to the right. Those two flanks were most likely going to be overran!
"Leila, make your friends come back here! We'll be surrounded anyways, the more numbers we have, the better!" Icicle said as he looked at the squirrel princess.
Leila's red fur was now entirely crimson, covered in blood of the wolves she smacked to death. Her kill count was at least twenty times that of Icicle's.
Squeak! Squeak!
The surrounding squirrels quickly relayed the message of the princess to others.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one black and reddish squirrels hurried over to the center of the clearing, surrounding Leila.
Icicle nodded in affirmation and walked over to Adian, making sure to stay out of the way. "Adian I know you're busy but listen up!" he hollered. "We are about to get flooded by yet another pack of wolves, I have no idea how large. There are two ways I can see right now to resolve this situation. One is that I'll send help for you to deal with that direwolf. It will most likely make the ancestor doggie over there go into frenzy and make things difficult for Red Devil." Icicle spoke indifferently.
"The other choice is to pray that you can stall that wolf long enough for us to emerge victorious. I have no idea if we will though. The chances are pretty slim."
"The first choice involves your pride, the second your life. Choose quickly for we do not have much time left. Whatever it is, make sure to be in your best condition, I'll need your help." Icicle looked at Adian and awaited his decision.
Adian shifted his body, avoiding the fatal claw attack and barked "Of course it's the first choice! That ancestor wolf will go into frenzy soon anyway. How can it not, seeing all those wolves dead? You've basically massacred its entire tribe already!"
"I wanted to deal with this tricky violet direwolf on my own, but there will be other opponents in the future. Send the reinforcements!" Adian made his mind. Having his fun compared to losing his life? He had a family to take care of! The simplest choice is the one where you have no say in the matter.
"Alright. I'm most likely not even a punching bag for it, even with the potion." Icicle grumbled "Leila, send 10 of your experts!"
Leila uttered the command and 10 of the squirrels rapidly approached the direwolf. They quickly unleashed their hidden technique!
A blood red "X" marks appeared all around the Fleeting Violet Direwolf. Its fur surged with electricity, as if overcharging, and it jumped high up, 5m into the air.
As it was airborne, all of the squirrels' claw slashes missed their mark. However, Adian was already above the wolf, swinging his two axes straight at its head!
The sound of iron clashing with iron emerged. Overwhelmingly tough bones of the Fleeting Violet Direwolf shuddered, sending vibrations throughout its body. Adian didn't give up and swung his axes again!
With the second strike, it was no longer shuddering. The bones cracked, on the verge of breaking completely. Fleeting Violet Direwolf fell from the sky, crashing into the ground.
Its body bouncing off the ground, Fleeting Violet Direwolf arduously retreated backwards, leaving behind a streak of violet lightning.
As Icicle noticed that his shoulder suddenly felt lighter, he saw a red blur appear beside the the commanding direwolf.
Leila raised her paw and the image of a demonic claw appeared behind her. However, compared to her tribe's illusory streak of blood red light, Leila's version was almost tangible! Her aura mixed with the skill. In this state, Leila appeared like a devil from hell herself!
What other members of the Red Devil's Tribe learned, was a technique to rend their enemies, ripping them to shreds. However, Red Devil's bloodline was gifted with innate, indomitable strength, allowing the descendants to overpower their enemies with the sheer force of their blows!
The enormous claw hovering above Leila clenched into a fist as it started swinging downwards!
The Fleeting Violet Direwolf was shaking in fear. This was the first time it has seen something so terrible, so otherworldly. Its legs went limp, making it unable to move even an inch. It watched with its eyes wide open, powerless against the impending doom descending towards it!
Leila's monstrous skill landed, turning the direwolf into mince meat. All it left behind was a puddle of blood, incomparable to its former majestic visage.
Leila jumped from her spot and landed on Icicle's shoulder, licking her sore paws. She looked exhausted. However, her eyes emitted a ray of proudness.
All the squirrels immediately leapt in joy. As their morale surged, the sound reached Red Devil and the Primeval Direwolf. Like Adian predicted, the Primal Direwolf entered frenzy, fighting with unbridled ferocity.
However, Red Devil was boosted by the success of his granddaughter. Since he had such a promising descendant, how could he be outdone and kick the bucket? He needs to pass on his legacy first!
The area all around the two ancestors exploded, grinding the earth into dust.
Adian who was finally free of his burden huffed, catching his breath. He picked up his wine flagon and drank as if first he touched in years. Quenching his thirst, he quickly devoured large portions of meat.
Wild roars of the approaching wolves resounded through the clearing. As the wolf force emerged, the players looked in dismay at the approaching numbers.
"We're fucked!" some of them screamed.
1500 players and 950 squirrels versus 4000 one and two star wolves, and 1000 wolf elites.
Their odds didn't look so good.
"How many tanks do we have?" Adian questioned the crowd of players.
"Around 150 or so." Inferno answered, looking briefly at the remaining players.
"It should be enough if we play it right." Adian said proudly "Remake your parties, make sure there's a healer and a tank in each of them."
Most players listened to Adian and did as he asked. Those who decided to "rebel" were completely disregarded. If they wanted to die, so be it.
"Each one of you needs to take on at least 10 of those wolves out there." Adian pointed at the [Minor White Direwolves] and [White Wolf Guardians], equivalents of [Atlas's Guardians].
"Fire Mages should cast [Ember Shield] on each of those tanks. The wolves fear fire and may even abstain from attacking you." Icicle added.
The pack of wolves glared at the group, approaching slowly but surely, emanating bloodthirsty savagery. They wanted revenge!.
After discussing their strategy, all the members stayed in a rectangular pattern. Shields covered most members, resembling the tortoise's shell.
Icicle scratched his head "This looks like a makeshift tortoise formation. I guess it will have to do." he was quite satisfied with the cooperation of the players.
The wolves quickly approached. The players' shield wall stood like a tall mountain, ready to take on any attackers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
White direwolves jumped in the air, clawing at the shields. The players endured the blows, waiting for the signal.
10 seconds, 20 seconds...
"Now, lower your shields!" Adian barked the order. As he did, all the players in the middle of the formation lowered their shields and let the squirrels hiding there jump out!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Streak after streak of black and red light rushed out of the tortoise formation, surrounding the wolves.
"Good!" Adian smirked. "Now that we have those doggies encircled both from the inside and the outside, you can attack in every direction! Keep your backliners safe!" he took a big breath "KILL THEM ALL!" Adian rushed out and started hacking away at the wolves.
Came the shouts from the players, they too moved in unison, kneeling when the backliners cast spells and shot arrows, other times defending them from the wolves.
"I'm actually surprised the players learned this formation so fast!" Icicle smirked as he ran into the wolves. His defense was pretty good now, coupled with his nimbleness he could dodge a significant portion of the attacks.
Another fierce battle began, enveloping the primeval Humming Forest. Encircled direwolves had no choice but to desperately fight for their lives, fiercely clawing at the surrounding players and squirrels. They were the ones surrounding the group, but as the situation turned they were tricked and forced into a disadvantageous position.
This well executed pincer move let the players cover their inadequacies. They still made blunders, often causing their party members to lose their lives, but they also learned a lot. Fighting in a coordinated group fashion was an invaluable experience.
[Ember Shields] appeared around certain players as they charged into the wolves' horde. They protected themselves with their shields, using the [Bolster] skill to reduce the damage taken for the next three attacks.
Leila stood proudly on Icicle's shoulder. She was too tired to help him out, but just by being there, amidst her brethren, she was able to boost their morale. To them, this little princess seemed too noble to even put the wolves in her eyes.
Amidst the blazing fireballs, crackling lightning bolts and clanking swords, the battlefield slowly calmed.
Wolf ancestor retreated in shame. It lost its pack, there was no reason to lose its life too. As it turned back, it howled desolately, promising that one day it will return and avenge its brethren.
"I'm rich!" 1200 players that survived cried happily! They were able to afford potions and beginner sets for all of their friends.They didn't need the sets, the loot from the wolves was already plentiful!
Icicle checked his inventory and realized he had 2 gold coins total. This was quite a harvest. He remembered the fake quest and said happily "Remember you can exchange your wolf furs, meat and claws for items and free identifying with Merchant Adian."
The players looked at him with confused gazes. Why would they do that, now they were rich, 1 gold coin was an enormous sum for them! They could afford identifying the items.
"The path to town is paved with danger, since the news of the event were spread, who knows how many player killers will wait on the road." Icicle said out loud, as if talking to himself. He wasn't sure if there were any, but planting the seed of doubt in the players was enough.
Faura and her party quickly approached Adian to hand over the furs. They wanted to identify the loot.
Red Devil came back, light bruises all over his body. The battle with the Primeval Direwolf was harsh on him.
Icicle patted Leila and said "Go!"
As Icicle saw Leila, who was at most 50cm long running towards the 5m long Red Devil, he involuntarily chuckled. Although the resemblance was there, the size alone made the sight comical.
Squeak! Squeak!
Icicle watched the two squirrels discuss something and then saw another pop up.
A group of hundred ancient squirrels ran back towards their home and quickly came back. They brought back a small hill made out of acorns and shoved it towards Icicle.
Icicle looked at the small hill in front of him and wanted to kill himself. What was he supposed to do with all of this? He can't even eat it!
Sighing inwardly, Icicle remembered that Leila earned him a lot by massacring the wolves. "Leila come over here." he said gently. Little squirrel jumped out like a spring and landed on his shoulder. "You helped me out immensely today, so I would like to give all of these acorns to you." he patted Leila's red head caringly.
Leila's eyes glistened with bright light. She squeaked a few times and jumped off to munch on acorns.
Icicle watched with amusement as the adorable creature devoured the precious acorns. Even Red Devil seemed surprised. Those acorns weren't easy to grow and he forked out quite a bit of his stock. His gaze fell on Icicle.
Icicle turned to Faura and Adian "I'll be back soon." he said, following the Red Devil.
Since the event was done, everyone but Icicle was teleported out of the zone. People who died as well as the curious ones immediately entered the area. They saw some players clamoring around the NPC, exchanging goods. Those players were anxious about losing their precious loot. After all, the tutorial mentioned it's possible to lose the recently gained items in case of death. This rule applied to level 10 and above, which now all of them were.
Quickly exchanging glances, the other players asked around, lining up to let Adian identify their items and exchange the crafting materials.
As Icicle walked behind Red Devil, they crossed the western part of the forest, entering an area with hundreds of trees bending under the weight of the acorns. The black soil all around provided the necessary nutrients for the primeval grove.

While the CCMA is instrumental in resolving disputes, it can help you to deal with a case even before there's a dispute through the process of a pre-dismissal arbitration.
As an employer, you can ask the CCMA (or a bargaining council that's accredited) to hold an arbitration concerning your employee's conduct or capacity before your employee is dismissed. This decision has the same effect as a CCMA arbitration award – except for the fact that your employee can't refer the dispute to the CCMA alleging unfair dismissal or unfair labour practice after it's been concluded.
But, for you to use pre-dismissal arbitration to save your company the time and cost of having to go through all the evidence twice, you have to know the cases best suited to it.
Revealed: The five best cases suited for having pre-dismissal arbitration
According to the Labour Law for Managers Loose Leaf Service, you can use pre-dismissal arbitration for the following cases:
Knowing which dismissal cases are best suited for pre-dismissal arbitration will help skip costly and lengthy disputes at the CCMA.

I like DS. I'm fascinated by his skill set and the arc of his career to date. Speculating on how he will develop and projecting him down the road is certainly interesting. But that doesn't mean I can't be unhappy with what I see and worried about his contributions to the team. It's not meant as a direct criticism of him or an attack on Ranger coaching or management.
I try to honestly assess what I see based on game performance and reading about the team. I always try to see the humanity in every situation and realize that players, accept for ungodly skills, are no different than you or me.
I am fanatically loyal to my team and have been for over 50 years. That doesn't mean I can't be somewhat critical. Doesn't mean I have to accept every player unconditionally. Doesn't mean that even if I am concerned about DS that I don't think he can do better.
We need him to do well badly and I hope he picks up his play.
As one of the guys on XM said (to paraphrase) "now that the season has begun we can all go back to doing what we all do best....being frustrated with our team."

Democrats are expecting a decision soon on where their party will meet next year for its national convention.
Will it be Charlotte, St. Louis, Minneapolis or Cleveland? Those are the four finalists that were chosen last year by the Democratic National Committee.
Earlier this week, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri expressed concern that President Obama's desire to do well in the South might mean Charlotte will get the nod. She also noted there isn't much buzz out there coming from people who are in the know.
Obama won North Carolina in 2008 and Charlotte, the nation's second-largest banking center, is considered a good example of the New South.
But a story in today's Charlotte Business Journal notes Charlotte has some issues that might give Democrats some pause, including a lack of union workers, schools closing in minority neighborhoods and a county commissioner who has come under fire for anti-gay comments.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx also isn't getting any kind of vibe from Obama or Democratic Party pooh-bahs. But he told a TV interviewer that he's willing to shoot some hoops with Obama if it would make a difference.
"I'm very optimistic," Foxx said on the PBS NewsHour after he visited the White House on Thursday with other mayors to talk about the economy with Obama.
"I did bring my basketball shorts to see if that would help," Foxx said.

When Dr. Nagashima loses his wife in a mysterious car crash, he is overwhelmed with grief but also an eerie sense of purpose; he becomes obsessed wiht reincarnating his dead wife. Her donated kidney is transplanted into a young girl wiht a debilitating disorder, bu the doctor also feels compelled to keep a small sample of her liver in his laboratory. When these cells start mutating rapidly, a consciousness bent on determining its own fate awakens, bent on becoming the new dominant species on earth.
Parasite Eve was the basis of the hugely popular videogame of the same name in the U.S. and has been cinematized in Japan.
About the Author
Hideaki Sena Ph.D. Pharmacology, was still a graduate student when his first novel, "Parasite Eve," turned him into a pop cultural heavyweight. He became the first recipient of the Japan Horror Award and is credited--alongside Koji Suzuki, whose "Spiral" appeared the same summer--with initiating a smart, new style of horror writing in Japan. Subsequent novels include the Japan Sci-Fi Award winner "Brain Valley" and "Tomorrow's Robots." Dr. Sena, who lectures on microbiology and genre ficiton, lives in Sendai, Japan.
Praise For…
"Comes just in time for summer getaway reading…
Oozes with enough violence and sexual perversity to make Caligula blush."
"Hideaki Sena, a pharmacologist, microbiologist and now pop icon, knows all too well how to combine the scientifically plausible with the psychologically unimaginable… Have fun with it, by all means, but don't keep it on the bedside table."
—Susan Salter Reynolds, L.A. Times
"Parasite Eve combines Michael Crichton's scientific cutting-edge plausibility with David Cronenberg's abject flesh/sex horror. Throw in Frankenstein and The Blob, synthesize, and enjoy."
"Sena's work in pharmacology and microbiology lends this Japanese import a sense of discovery and fear that resonates when new science is not fully understood. SF and horror fans who liked Suzuki Koji's Ring…will find Parasite Eve a chilling tale on a cellular level; recommended."
—Library Journal

Okay, thank you for the information.Typically, you will see internet based stings going after adult predators of children. I do not find it even remotely possible that they would conduct a sting going after children.That brings me to the conclusion that the person you were texting was probably not a cop and if he was, you were probably given the wrong number by the person online.Please note, since you are a minor, a sexually explicit picture of you is considered contraband if possessed by anyone. Therefore, although it sounds silly, even you possessing a picture of yourself or one of your minor friends can be considered possession of child pornography, a serious crime. Therefore, you should really wait until you have reached the age of 18 to do this (or even better, don't do this at all). I hope that answers your question! If so, please positively rate my answer.

So, on the diet bandwagon a team mate and I decided to stop drinking for April to wrap up our diet challenge. This has been two fold for me. I think forgetting about the alcohol calories is a great thing. Also, after drinking I tend to loosen up and invade the kitchen looking for snacky things to munch on with my beverage.
In the end I didn't realize how many times I was reaching for a glass of alcoholic beverage so I have also looked at abstinence in a different way. While out…Continue

At Petrobras headquarters in Rio de Janeiro this Monday morning (March 17), Petrobras President Maria das Graças Silva Foster and the Director of Exploration and Production, José Formigli, announced the start of the 7th round of the Fleet Renewal Plan for Offshore Support Vessels (Prorefam). Stock was also taken at this time of the plan from 2000 to present, and contracts were signed for the 5th round of the program.
The President highlighted the importance of the program for the industry as well as for Petrobras, emphasizing that the company's priority is to increase their oil production, as per the 2014-2018 Business and Management Plan. "This is a very important time. It's the time to cheer the naval and offshore industry on so it continues to grow, thrive, and most importantly be respected", stated the President. On the topic of contracts, Graça Foster stressed that prices must be within international norms. "Petrobras can't wait. There is absolutely nothing that would justify us falling behind on our oil production curve. No contract that would put this at risk is a priority for us", she stated.

The Iraqis who had waited for their relatives since dawn grew increasingly frustrated when the amnesty did not occur by late afternoon.
U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer had said 506 of some 12,800 detainees would be freed in a goodwill gesture from the jail, where Saddam Hussein's regime once tortured political opponents. The first 100 were to be released Thursday.
But coalition spokesman Dan Senor said officials were waiting for community and tribal leaders to guarantee the good conduct of those to be given their freedom.
"He (Bremer) said that approximately 100 would be ready to be released today. They are ready," but their release was being held up as officials waited for guarantors to step forward, Senor said.
Earlier, a military interpreter stood next to a U.S. soldier atop a Humvee and told people to go home, saying those freed would be taken by bus and dropped off at an undisclosed location.
There was confusion when three truckloads of prisoners were driven out of the facility. Those waiting rushed into a busy highway after the trucks, stopping traffic. Drivers got out of their cars and people hugged and kissed in joy.
But a U.S. official said that was a routine prisoner release unrelated to the amnesty announced Wednesday. "This has nothing to do with Bremer's announcement," Lt. Col. Roy Shere said.
U.S. and coalition troops have rounded up thousands of people suspected in attacks or funding for the anti-American insurgency in Iraq since President Bush declared an end to major hostilities on May 1.
Shere, a spokesman for the 800th Military Police Brigade, which operates prisons in Iraq, said his unit had not received any order for the amnesty. "Until we get some information that says 'release these prisoners,' they are staying put," he said.
People started arriving at the prison from first light, some driving for hours in hopes that relatives not seen for months would be among those released.
"I don't trust the Americans. They are making more enemies for themselves now by arresting innocent people," said Jassin Rasheed.
He said his brother, Omar, was detained two months ago after fighting with a fellow security guard at an oil installation.
"For revenge, they told the Americans that my brother is a terrorist," Rasheed said.
There were many other claims of unjust detentions: Bedouins arrested as they tended sheep; a son taken away because he was near the scene of an attack on American soldiers; a name given to U.S. troops to avenge some dispute; a father arrested because he had a rifle in his car.
"Everyone in Iraq has a gun," said Karim Mohammed, 30, who was detained with his brother but released 10 days ago. He said police came to their home and asked for his brother by name, then arrested the two when they found an AK-47.
"These are all false accusations," he said. "Some people are avenging themselves, anyone who wants to get his own back just goes to the Americans and reports that a person is a resistance fighter."
Coalition officials said those to be released were low-level "associates" of insurgents who were not directly involved in any attacks.
"I want to assure you that this is not a program for those with bloodstained hands," Bremer said Wednesday. "Nor will we release people accused of torture or crimes against humanity."
The release of Iraqis held indefinitely and without charge has been a top demand of the country's community and tribal leaders, as well as human rights advocates who say families are searching for relatives who get detained and are not heard from for months.
Bremer appeared to be addressing those complaints, and said relatives of those not released would be given more access to detainees.
One military official described the typical prisoner to be freed as a person swept up in a raid that also captured "more dangerous persons" and perhaps weapons. Another official suggested the detainees may have acted out of fear of Saddam Hussein's possible return.
Bremer described the release as a pardon for some Iraqis who worked against the U.S. occupation.
"They made a mistake and they know it," he said. "But we are prepared to offer some of them a new chance." Those to be freed must first sign a statement renouncing violence and have a community or tribal leader accept responsibility for their conduct, he said.
The total number of detainees was not known. The military announces dozens of arrests daily, but many apparently are released within hours or days. Some have complained of ill-treatment.

Might be selling my PS4 for one of these. Is it a justified purchase you guys?

I couldn't justify either of the "next gen" Guangdongware, ATM. But, if I were to get a console now, it could only be the X1.
Totes disagree. While wii360 was last gen for me, u4 + 3ds seems to be this one. Microsoft tossed out all the main gaming features to try to mainstream. There are more features I couldnt care less about than those that do interest me. Their gaming division has transformed into an entertainment division- and that's not what I'm looking for.
I haven't committed to anything, but that's my current plan.

Take it from someone who has repeatedly traded a PS3 for a 360 and vice-versa...don't do it. Though some of the times I did it with the guarantee from friends that they would play online games with me all the time and never followed through, I can say you will definitely regret it.
If you're not happy with it right now, just don't buy anything for it for awhile, be patient, and eventually you'll have saved up enough money for the XB1. You'll be happy you have both, and you'll be in a better situation than if you traded for the Xbox and then something really awesome came out for PS4 and you sit and wonder why you ever got rid of it.

I really haven't been happy with my PS4. No friends to play it with and the controller is so weird. I am really sad I didn't wait to get an Xbox One and I have been REALLY wanting to play Killer Instinct. So, is the Xbox One worth selling my Ps4?
If you are really into fighting games, totally worth it. The one game that has kept me coming back since launch. Lost interest in Forza, Done with Assassin's Creed, BF4 is a joke, Crimson Dragon was ok. I can't speak for Ryse or Dead Rising 3 (actually, I enjoyed the demo, but just too occupied with KI and soon to be Project Spark, to warrant a full purchase)...So long as you don't mind that the game is a platform and is evolving and still in development. There have been bugs and other things that have crept in with each update. The developer has been good about correcting them, you just need to keep in mind the game is still "in development".

You want to pay more for a weaker machine with the same lack of games?
I agree with this. The PS4 is more powerful and has more games in development. That isn't saying the Xbox One doesn't have fun games out now or coming out. It just doesn't make sense to trade in a PS4, get $250 at most, and then pay another $250 to get this system.
Protip: Get a Newegg Preferred account and pay it off within the 12 months. It gives you 12 months of no payments and no interest, but obviously it is better to pay it off within the 12 months.

This the way I look at it what was the deciding factor for me was........ Hmmmm if I get a ps4 would it really kill me to see killer instinct and not being able to play it, been waiting since snes for it. Also titanfall would I be happy not being able to play that and dead rising 3 and a possible gears and halo.
I said yep it would kill me hearing about it from other people so yea I had to get it.
I remember having a 360 and my friend having a ps3 I let him play halo 3 and Alan wake and gears of war 3 and he never went back oh and l4d really did it.
I guess it depends on the type if games you like to play.

Honestly people speak of weaker tech and staying with it because of the games but as a gamer if your controller doesn't feel right and you have that urge to play a certain game then follow your heart and not any fanboy period and if you want to play with friends which are easy to find I say go and get it and do what you choose to, I am I'm getting a an xbox one and not looking back but will you?

TC, when you see all the PS4 fanboys who have nothing to do other than troll a thread like this. I think it makes it pretty clear that PS4 just doesn't have the games right now and isn't any fun. X1 is still a launch console as well, but MS did a nice job securing a great launch lineup and filling the pipeline for year 1.
Both have a good lineup and a good launch line up. The problem with stating otherwise makes you look immature and petty. Why can't either side accept this. Also spoiler alert: PS4 has more games coming out this year and more games in development. That's a fact not an opinion.

My honest opinion after playing both:
PS4 is my winner. I'm honestly not sure how you think the controller is weird because I'm in love with it overall and can't wait to see developers use the touch pad. Which is probably the weirdest part... the options and share buttons are the only things I've had trouble getting used to. I think the One's controller feels cheap as one of panels on the controller shifts and is loose which is noticeable during play and this is on both of my controllers.
Both have great games out right now and this depends on what you're looking for. PS4 is you want a challenge because so far the hardest game I've played is Forza. DR3 compared to the first 2 is extremely easy, lacks psycho fights (They are there but FEW in number), and overall the game feels like it is missing a challenge as I blow through every aspect of it. PS4 on the other hand I struggled on multiple games. Knack is literally one of the hardest games I've ever played and I beat Demon Souls and Dark Souls. Knack is probably one of the most underrated games I've seen. So with that both consoles currently offer 2 different styles of play. PS4 has a shooter, platformer, an arcade game that is just amazing, and really good games coming out for free monthly. Xbox One on the other hand has a racing, zombie, and an interesting simulator game so far. If you want KI or Ryse I recommend sticking away from those two games. KI isn't as bad as Ryse but it also isn't anything new/different.
Sharing features:
PS4 wins this by a long shot. Upload Studio only allows 5 minutes, won't upload to any services except the Cloud, and you can't take screenshots. PS4's sharing is also a ton more simple and easy to navigate.
PS4 wins this as well. It is easy to navigate and ad free which bothers me about the Xbox One.
Both communities have their problems and really it depends on where your friends are or if you are willing to make new friends. The online services provided by PS+ are fantastic. We are getting great games every month and so far every game is interesting and worthwhile. Games For Gold is coming to Xbox, but I've got no clue when or what they will be giving us. Also tomorrow Outlast is coming to PS4 free to PS+ players and that game is also really good.
Overall Winner IMO:
PS4, but this can change from person to person.More games have come out, more games in development, more new franchises on their way, and stronger technology it is hard for me to recommend grabbing an Xbox One over a PS4. With that said the best solution is really to have both, but if one were expendable it would be the Xbox One. Which still has hours of joy to be had, but overall the PS4 has more potential.

The subject pretty much sums it up: going out with 10 friends, looking to spend about $20/pp (not including drinks) as some people don't have more to spend than that. Centrally located as some live in Queens, Brooklyn, UES, UWS but then again, centrally located may mean Times Square = tourist trap and too $$$. So location is secondary to cost and being able to accommodate a large party.
Cuisines - Asian, Italian, American are preferred. Any help would be great as most of the places I've thought of are too expensive!

|Re: 0.1 try again
|Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:55:08 GMT
I think the number one thing people can do is read through and add to the documentation and also try out the examples. Basically, do what Hoss did on the first release candidate by building the distribution and then try to get started running it. After that, I think there are a few remaining issues target to 0.1, so try out the patches and give feedback on whether they work or not. -Grant On Nov 12, 2008, at 11:26 AM, Stephan Seufert wrote: > Good idea, I can try to work on one of the issues if help is needed > somewhere... > > Quoting Grant Ingersoll <email@example.com>: > >> What do people think about trying for 0.1 again?

The Last Testament
The Last Testament
A Memoir
By God; David Javerbaum
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9781451640182, 400pp.
Publication Date: November 1, 2011
"Presented as 'A Memoir by God,' the book comes divided into chapters and numbered verses like the Bible, if the Bible were narrated by Mel Brooks on crack-laced manna. It's a bawdy circus of theological vaudeville—Shadrach, Meshach and To-bed-we-go!—determined to sacrifice every sacred cow on the altar of farce."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"The Last Testament is billed as a message from God as transcribed by David Javerbaum, the former head writer and executive producer of 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,' whose specialty is chutzpah. With no apparent qualms Mr. Javerbaum steps into the infinitely big shoes of the Almighty to deliver a series of pronouncements, gags, parodies of Biblical passages and even a 12-step program envisioned from God's point of view. . . . The Last Testament is fearless . . . a recklessly funny set of gags about all things religious and quite a few things secular too."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"I can't be sure, but I think the famously blasphemous Mark Twain (who once said he didn't want to go to heaven because he hated harp music) would have chuckled his way through Javerbaum's book. Maybe even snorted. Because it's very funny. Offensive to some, for sure, but very funny."—A.J. Jacobs for The Globe & Mail
"A 'memoir' by God [The Last Testament] does what The Daily Show does so well—it satirizes religion by both taking it seriously and not taking it seriously at all, using humor to both point out the inconsistencies of the holiest texts and to describe God's codependent relationship with celebrities."—Salon.com
"This book plays spin doctor for the Big Guy, in the form of a really new testament. Author David Javerbaum, formerly a writer and producer for 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,' brings that show's arch snappiness to his task, laying out what God really had in mind . . . If you're a churchgoer you might ask, well, isn't this sacrilegious? In many places, decidedly so. And if the human temptation is to continually imagine God in our own image (face it, you think God agrees with your positions on abortion, taxes and political parties, don't you?), The Last Testament does so with a vengeance, quoting a pop-culture-savvy Creator who despises Sarah Palin and holds reliably progressive social views. . . . People of faith should be glad when religious themes show up in popular discourse, even if it's for a cheap joke. Better to be satirized than to be ignored. And, of course, the premise of 'The Daily Show' is in effect: Satire can be the best vehicle for truth."—Buffalo News
"Spit-take funny."—The Jewish Daily Forward
"Oh, God . . . There are enough laughs here, not to mention a dazzling underlying knowledge of theology, to give plenty of props to Javerbaum."—Booklist (starred review)
"A blithely blasphemous satire of monotheism. . . . Adherents of every Abrahamic faith will find plenty of hilarious, offensive manna for thought in these revelations."—Publishers Weekly
"Damned comical. Amen."—Kirkus Reviews
"Absurdity reigns in The Last Testament. . . . A wickedly funny introduction to the opinions and modus operandi of God, 'King of the Universe.'"—ShelfAwareness.com
After posting on Twitter under the name "The Tweet of God" for the last year, comedy writer and former Daily Show executive producer David Javerbaum is out with a new book this week called The Last Testament. But some big retailers aren't laughing. Names including Wal-Mart have refused to carry the book. More at NPR.org

Write an A+ Tutorial
Some of my readers already know that I am actually a teacher by training, an English teacher to be exact. I spent five (yes, five) years in college researching educational strategies, reading novels, plays, textbooks and journals, and writing SOOOOOOO many papers. I also created hundreds of lesson plans.
Lesson plans are the written guidelines teachers use to plan and direct each lesson of the day. They can be a pain in the kiester to write, but they are an excellent way to focus a lesson and organize information.
Lesson plans are ALSO a great way to focus and organize a craft tutorial. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying every blogger should fill out an extensive lesson plan form each time she posts a tutorial, but knowing and practicing the main parts of a lesson plan can be incredibly helpful.
In these two articles, I hope to show you how to write an A+ tutorial using the elements of a typical lesson plan as a guide.
Don't just jump right into the step-by-step of your tutorial. Create some interest in your project by telling a story about how you came up with the project idea or why you wanted to share the tutorial with your readers. In lesson plan jargon this is called building background knowledge. Make your readers want to learn how to do the project before you start shouting directions at them.
Finish your introduction with one sentence that clearly states what the tutorial is about. This sentence is called a statement objective. For example, my statement objective for this series was: "In these two articles, I hope to show you how to write an A+ tutorial using the elements of a typical lesson plan as a guide."
This part of the lesson plan is just for you; you don't include it in your written tutorial. You need to ask yourself before you begin writing the tutorial what you want your readers to be able to do after they have read your post.
Do you want them to:
- Learn an new technique?
- Be able to completely replicate your project themselves?
- Have a new attitude about trying new things?
- Try a new craft material?
It's important to know what you want your readers to be able to do, so that you can look back at your written tutorial and say, "Yes, a reader would be able to make their own Melted Crayon Art after reading this tutorial" or "If I had never heard of Dimensional Magic before, I sure would want to try it after reading this!"
A list of materials is crucial for a creative tutorial. If you want your readers to be able to replicate a technique, a project, or a quick and dirty trick, you MUST tell them what materials they need to accomplish that.
The procedure is the meat and potatoes of your tutorial. Because the procedure is so important, it is going to get a post of its own in part two.
Check back for the second part of this Write an A+ Tutorial series!

Regarding Eastern Europeans and Hockey...
View Single Post

Join Date: Dec 2009

I am originally from Serbia and I have always wondered the same thing. However, winter sports have never been huge in Southeastern Europe for one reason or another, and their winter athletes are on par with the African countries for the most part. Even though for instance Serbia is one of the great pound-for-pound sports nations in the world, it has never won any kind of medal in winter sports in its entire history.
Simply put, sports such as football (soccer), basketball, handball, volleyball, water polo, tennis and some amateur sports have always been the priority.
When SFR Yugoslavia used to exist, the national team was rather solid, but that was mostly due to the Slovenians. Nonetheless, there was a hockey league in which Serbian and Croatian clubs were sometimes crowned champions and arenas were full. The country's breakup largely contributed to the fall of hockey in the other countries. Recently, Croatia has done some progress regarding hockey's popularity thanks to KHK Medvescak which plays in the EBEL League.
In Romania, hockey is only popular within the Hungarian minority and 90% of its national team players are of Hungarian ethnicity.
