Oh yes! I'm feeling it tonight! Let's kick it up, a new arc has been unlocked!
New Belka Chronicles
~ Leryk ~
Funny how a relatively quiet arc got one of my most commonly used theme of
Without further ado, here's the
for visualization.
The shutters of Seraph slid open, then boom cut to Firehawk in the launch catapult. Another cut scene; Kha keys the switches on his datapad; The HUD declares DaiStahlMut OS Start. Kha once-overs the HUD; Firehawks jets power on. The runway is cleared, and the fighter thunders out of the Seraph.
It folds in half as Canberra jets in and docks, transforming the craft into the humanoid form. DaiStahlMut summons Tausend Kreuz, twirls it, then swings into pose. Silhouetted against the two moons, the title fades in.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
New Belka Chronicles
It then fades out.
Yasashii sono yubi ga, owari ni fureru toki
When those soft fingers reach in the end,
Sophia in Knight Armor shoulders Dauer in bow form as she strides through the desolate Midchilda Ground Central landscape. Artei in True Assassin form stands on the left, Allie, with her hand to her Command Device Ora hooked onto her ear, by his side. The hulking figure of arm-folded Kaempfer takes the back.
Jail Scagletti is next, floating beside Kha dressed in black and blue pastor robes. He has the Libram of Devotion clasped under his arm. In between them is the shadow of a woman with a long flowing mane. The roiling purple of the void twists in the background.
Ima dake, kimi dake, shinjitemo iin darou?
Only now, only you, won't that be all you can believe in?
Nanoha turns back from her summoned terminal overlooking the VR training area, Vivio in her arms clutching her bunny;
Fate turns back from Riot 6 Southfort Base, Storm Rider gleaming from its place on the helipad as Vice, Mariel and Chario oversees its maintenance.
We then cut to Hayate in the foreground, watching little Reinforce Zwei doing a strange dance by her head. There is a silhouette of Castor in the background.
Daremo ga kuzureteku, negai wo motomesugite
Everyone is breaking down, searching too long for a wish
Panning shot of Carim at her desk, flanked by Ishida, Acous and Schach. She looks up into the camera.
We cut to a shot of Sophia from behind; she is wrapped in red energies that soon shatter to reveal her Convent Knight Armor and Sealing Visors. Artei is next; the camera is focused on his waist as he locks his boost device Zao into his belt, activating True Assassin form. That last image is then overlayed at the sugite like GSD by both Forwards saluting.
Jibun ga ochite yuku, basho wo sagashiteru
Youre looking for a place where you can land
Subaru, holding her activated Revolver Knuckle R up and wearing her usual cheeky grin, and Teana, looking sharp with Cross Mirage by her face, poses side by side. Ginga, also suited up, is standing beside them.
Caro, Fried hovering by her head, breaks into a wide laughing smile as Erio, slightly to the right and front of her, rests Strada on his shoulder and gives the thumbs up.
Kha with Knight Armor in Schneiderform Imperfected (the DSM plug suit) hurdles over the sides and into the cockpit. As he slides into his seat, he thumbs his fringe out of the way and looks into the camera with Cool Killer Smile. His salute coincides with his face mask closing.
Kizutsukete yureru shika dekinai,
Wounded, unable to stop shaking
Zawameku omoi ga, bokura no shinjitsu nara
If these murmuring feelings are indeed our reality
And the favourite Gun- ahem Wizard/Knight parade! The person in civilian wear takes foreground while him/her in Barrier Jacket/Knight Armor takes the background in a windowed and grainy video clip.
Orga Sabnak poses with a hand to the side in the shape of a handgun, sneering and winking; Orga in Calamity Form jets backward and raises all his weapons. Streams of red, blue and green beamfire interspersed with missile exhaust tore away from the Relic weapon.
Shani Andras licks his machete; Shani in Forbidden Striker spins in an arc, cleaving the squad of Spellblades before firing a curving beam from his massive headpiece and sending a burning Raven Buggy spinning through the air.
Clotho Buer has his hand to his face, covering his left eye as he pulls at his fringe, cackling like a madman; Clotho is Raider Mode banks and twirls, evading lasers from the Venom patrol craft and replying with a spray of his own missiles.
Vice is standing ramrod straight, head to forehead in a vertical salute; He rolls away from incoming Gadget lasers, presses himself flat against the wall, then sticks his Brave Heart around the corner, blasting and destroying the Type-2 tearing down the alleyway.
Kaempfer baring his beefed up chest, cracking his knuckles, wearing his trademark belittling look; the hulk in Dragon form headbutts a Type-1, whips his tail into Type-2 and Nether Blasts an entire wave of Gadgets.
Allison is seated in her flight chair, hand on joystick, speaking into Ora; Blackbird deploys her laser CIWS and rains fire upon the massed robots beneath her as she passes over at high speed.
Artei is astride his Cloud Aibamashin, and the bike has its weapon sleeves deployed, offering the Knight a choice of 6 blades; Artei in True Assassin swings Monohoshizao left right left right, somersaults and lands. Behind him, the sliced robots hang in the air for a while before their overloading circuits erupted and silhouetted the Knight in fire.
Bellerophon with Sophia on its back gallops up a cliff and leaps off, spreading its wings majestically, leaving itself to be framed by the setting sun. The Knight-sister rapid-loads Calad Blogs onto Dauer and sends them flying into the screen in torrents.
Ishida in Saints Armor poses with a finger to his glasses, pushing them up; His bow at hand, the Colonel teleports about with each shot from his magical bow. The Gadgets AMF seem defenceless against his magical bolts.
---Small Instrumental---
3 key supporting characters:
First, Keroko raises Artherion, speaking commands.
Second, Mai turning back, with Arnie on her left, and Ichimoku Ken sheathed by Xealots side.
Third, Aurion leaning back in his armchair, with both hands finger tips touching in a Gendou pose.
It ends with DaiStahlMut dashing into the sky, leaving a trail of white.
Vocals by:
T.M. Revolution
Originally from:
Gundam SEED Destiny
Kowareau kara, ugokenai
We break each other down till we can't even move
Kha looks up. Then, with a flash of a blue cross exploding on a galaxy, his stern eyes go blank as the Cleric-knight in Panzerform twirls Tausend Kreuz and stops it in battle stance, powering on Gotteliches Rapier.
Sabishii hane kasanete
Our solitary wings overlapped
Surreal landscape of DaiStahlMuts head and shoulders, framed by burning debris takes the background. In the foreground floats two naked figures, the male reaching out to the female. In fades Kha reaching out to Fate to wipe away her tears.
Deau hikari no nai jidai no
We've not encountered the light,
Kha in Jaegerform dodges mana laser shots with blurring agility, cobras up at the last moment, then brings Tausend Kreuz through two wide arc as he dived through, tentacles and parts flying all around him.
Mabushisa dake
Only the glare this age gives off
Stacked stills with gradual displacement like a GSD opening: Sophia and Hayate, surrounded by Clone Troopers, stand back to back, both in their Knight Armor and both holding a Swertkreuz each. Both of them are looking over their shoulders at each other.
It quickly cuts to Serge and his team floating in front of the Niddhogg.
Cut again, to Erio and Caro sitting back to back on a rocky outcrop set against an orange sunset.
Kawareru chikara, osorenai
I don't fear the power to change
A translucent Kha in Schneiderform Imperfected spreads his arms into a crucified pose as he fades into DaiStahlMut. Meanwhile, the machine rears up and launches Accel Shooters from its shoulders, wheeled in a circle, then fires a massive Excelion Buster from Tausend Kreuz.
Fukai kodou no saki ni
In the deep pulsation that lies ahead
Surreal shot: Vivio, Yuuno and Nanoha like Freedom, Kira and Lacus.
Kawasu honoo yo, egakareta
Painted in the exchanged flames
Kha in Schneiderform thrusters in towards Oswald, Tausend Kreuz raised. He swings as they close; Oswald dances a cirle around Kha, the Knight compensating in time. Oswald brings his Device down onto Gotteliches Zamber, and a roar of sparks and mana ensued as both mages warred for dominance. The head portraits of Kha and Oswald fade in on the respective sides of the screen.
Unmei ni todoke
Carry out your destiny
Seraph flies in, past the two moons, past Midchilda, and blasts away towards the stars. Kaempfer flies in and spirals into a purple mana trail; then comes Artei in green, Sophia in red and lastly Kha in blue.
---Closing Instrumental---
This is exactly like the ending scene of the GSD opening, with Kha in Shinns place, Sophia in Athruns, Artei in Lunas and Allison in Reys. In the background, from left to right: Kaempfer in his massive necrodermal Pater Dragonform, DaiStahlMut, and Bellerophon EX.
Now for the main course:
A Sudden Arrival pt. 1
While the group were out busting Necron butt, Aurion was hard at work. And in a flash of inspiration decided to try and copy the regenerative properties of Arnie's Necrodermis. The result was the deep action regenrative implant serum he crafted for Kaempfer, and he hoped that it would be useful to controlling and maybe limiting Kaempfer's disease.
And so, almost everyone was waiting in the lobby of the hospital anxiously while the dragon was undergoing surgery. Kha, still wrapped in bandages from his battles, hobbled through the glass door aided by Fate.
Don't mind me. How's Kaempfer?
He's been inside for almost an hour. Aurion said he'd be done in that time too.
Damned. If only I wasn't in such a bad shape, I'd be able to help out...
You shouldn't push yourself...
But he's my friend, and he's always been there for me when I needed him, but today I'm unable to repay that favor...
I'm sure Kaempfer understands...
Hey look! It's Kaempfer!
Everyone gets up in a hurry. The dragonkin wheels himself into the waiting room on a wheelchair already dressed up in his usual wraps.
Kaempfer! How are you feeling?
I am well, Meister. The pain's gone.
Just give him some time to get over the soreness of the injections, and he'll be up and about in no time.
Everyone breaks up in applause. Kha gives his tsukaima a one-armed bear hug, Erio and Caro rush up in cheer, and Friedich lands on his shoulder, nuzzling him.
(laughing softly)
Sorry to have worried everyone... Friediche stop crying, I'm in good health...
I hope you still remember our unfinished duel.
(looks serious and holds out a fist)
A Dragon never forgets!
(punches the outstretched fist)
Kaempfer and Zafira are really like "aniki"-type brothers, aren't they?
Do you think you can try transforming soon?
Maybe... this afternoon?
Oh she's here?
Suddenly there was a whir of activity as a crimson haired hurricane stormed into the proceedings and glomped the seated dragon, knocking him off the seat and ending up on the ground in a messy pile.
(rubbing her head against Kaempfer's like a cat. Talking at 100km/h)
Boohoo! I was so worry about you! First you weren't answering my calls, then I heard you went somewhere to fight aliens and by the time I got to Mid Childa I heard that you were getting an operation! How could you do this to me!!!
Yes... I'm sorry... Ow... My arm...
OH NO!!! I'm so sorry! I'll move now.
Kaempfer struggles to his feet, and the newcomer hurries over to his uninjured side and supports him.
Er... Kaempfer, who is... she?
A Sudden Arrival pt 2
She is--
I'm Wira. Mater of the Kaempfer Dragonflight! Nice to meet you!
(turns a little red)
No... We've... haven't done the ritual yet...
(enters lobby with Vivio in tow. The little girl sees the crowd and immediately ducks behind Nanoha and buries her face in the Ace's skirt)
Who hasn't done what? Oops! Oh dear she's scared again...
(hobbles over)
Kaempfer and Wira haven't "tied the knot" yet, in human terms that is.
But Kaempfer dear already promised me that he'll take care of me forever and ever and ever...
(turns even redder)
Not that now...
She's rather clingy...
So is this little one here!
(struggles to squat)
Hey there, Vivio.
(pokes a eye out to look at him)
It's pretty rude to not greet people but hide when you see them.
(leans a little further out)
That's better.
(stands up haltingly)
Ow. Alright, everyone, this is Wira. Wira, this is Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Keroko. And they are the Wolkenritter - Signum, Vita, Shamal and Kaempfer's best bud Zafira. And this is Vivio, our newest member of the family.
(buries her face in Nanoha's skirt again)
I'm so not going to get her off of me...
Now Vivio...
(still smiling)
Let's not bother Takamachi-san shall we?
(extends hand)
(glances out. Kha gives a small nod.)
Come on, be a good girl now.
Vivio takes Kha's hand, takes a small step out, then suddenly skitters over to Fate, hiding behind her instead.
I guess a skirt is more comforting...
Oooh. Kha-chan and Fate-chan really have it in them ne?
(clears throat audibly)
Now that the introductions are done, can we please take a seat? I believe our patient needs to sit down.
I'll be continuing this some other time. Next entry will be a time skip - Duel!
Battle of Prayer pt 1
"Ah! Nanoha-san!"
The green Cloud Knight replied as Nanoha jogged up to her.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing much really. Is Kha-chan still in bed?"
Shamal could only shrug uncomfortably at that.
"Eto... He took off his bandages and left already... Since Fate came to pick him up, I couldn't stop him...
"Fate-chan... ka?"
The instructor pondered, then an idea struck.
"Ah I see."
"See what...?"
the puzzled Shamal began just as Nanoha jogged back in the other direction.
"Ja ne! Thanks for looking after Kha-chan!"
The brown haired girl waved back.
"Ah... Hai..."
Shamal replied weakly, wondering what under the two moons had just happened.
As Nanoha stepped out of the pier-end of Southfort, she could see that the training simulator was already up and running, despite the Forwards having a late start that morning.
[It has been opened by Kha and Fate, my Master.]
"Yes I see, Raising Heart."
The girl replied as she reached the parapet and touched the air. With a soft digital creak, a panel stretched out from nothingness, and the Training Coordinator began working on it.
A few more keys, and several screens popped up one after another. Each one showed the Cleric-knight spinning a quarterstaff into Fate's
, and Fate replying with an attack of her own from different angles. Both Aces on screen were wearing the dark blue vest and slacks that the Riot 6 had been using as training wear.
"It certainly has been a long time since Kha and Fate had a personal duel..."
Nanoha smiled back as the technician joined her at the console.
"You're up early."
"It can't be helped. I wanted to do a quick check before Fate-san and Kha-san used it just to be sure,"
Shari said as she called up another set of dialog boxes patched with squiggles of graphs and scrolling command lines.
"But I didn't want to mention the check, as Fate-chan would postpone the fight and miss the window."
"Ah, it is rare that both Kha-chan and Fate-chan could be free at the same time..."
Nanoha trailed off as she watched both her best friends spar on.
"Don't waste this chance,
"Ha! Ta! Sa! Yii... Yah!"
Oblivious to their being watched, Kha and Fate clashed again and again, the loud cracks of impacting wood echoing about the fake ruined city. No doubt Kha was the slower of the two; Fate could get swing in, feint and dance a circle around the Knight, then close for another strike. His cobra reflexes evened things out somewhat as Kha could keep up his parries and blocks, sometimes even attempting the split-second openings that came up once in a while.
They fought without any magic, not even an enhancement. It was just muscle against muscle, as it always when it came to a duel between the two of them. The challenge of being out of one's comfort zone was the thrill of the spar, the essence that made the both of them prefer and excel in close-in manuveurs. And at least, the arrangement was something that Kha would not instantly lose to Fate. Being practically a Neutral without his divine spells, Kha seldom had hope of not being the first to be taken out in a non-physical magic firefight, especially free-for-alls.
The Cleric-knight swept out in an arc, and Fate sprang into a high somersault.
She cried suddenly as she brought her dummy blade out of spin.
Kha thought while he spun under and whipped the quarterstaff up to parry Fate's
. The shockwave from impact washed over him, making him blink in surprise.
A quick flex pushed the wooden sword away and Kha tumble backwards, relaxing his stance as he stood up.
He repeated, curiosity aroused.
"I once worked alongside a wise old man who also used a Zamber, but was an expert with it. I picked up many things from our cooperation,"
Fate replied, lowering her sword likewise.
"He said that it helps me focus my strength into the strike. But it hasn't become a habit yet...
"What's does it mean?"
"At that time, the man said..."
"Why 'Chest?'"
Fate asked as she dashed alongside her temporary partner aside a giant horse, Master Wodan.
"Because a warriors heart is in their chest!" The eccentric masked man answered with force as he thumped barrel fist on his chest.
"The smaller the better "
Fate thought she heard him say something.
"What was that?"
" Wodan replied all of a sudden, looking somewhat fazzled.
A small sweat-drop appeared by Fate's forehead.
"Ah, I understand..."
"What a weird contract mage, this Master Wodan,"
Kha quipped, sweatdropping a little himself.
"Ah yes he was a little extraordinary..."
was the Speed Demon's reply. Kha gave pause; what was that faint shadow of something that seemed to pass over her?
Kha shrugged.
"Is something wrong?"
The golden haired girl was taken aback and seemed hasty to put her smile back on.
"Huh? What's wrong? Nothing's wrong! Ahaha...
You could see the incredulity clearly on Kha's face as he stepped forward.
"When you start rambling, it means something is up..."
"Eto... It's nothing really,"
Fate laughed sheepishly as Kha came closer.
"It's just that we've haven't sparred for a long time now, since we're always so busy with work...
, it's okay now! We're having this--
The boy dropped his weapon and suddenly hugged the Ace, cutting her off.
"Gome ne, Fate,"
Kha whispered into Fate's hair, his features softening.
"Sorry for making you worry."
"N-no it's not... Kha..."
She whispered as she pressed her head into his.
"Or is it Erio and Caro? I've been leaving them fully in your care without helping out as I promised... It must've been tough on you."
"Ie, ie, ie!"
Fate shook her head.
"It's... It's... um..."
Last night...
"Fate-chan? Can't sleep?"
She heard her best friend whisper. Fate glanced over at the other officer who had Vivio burying herself in Nanoha's bosom.
"It's about Kha-chan, ne?"
"You can... tell?"
Fate felt her face grow warm as she looked away.
"Of course! We've known each other for so long now..."
Nanoha smiled.
"Care to tell me?"
Fate's fist closed.
"Ever since Kha came back from defeating the aliens, I feel that something's... well
... and
... has been bothering me..."
"What do you mean? Is Kha-chan cheating on you?"
Nanoha replied cheekily.
To Fate, that felt like a car wreck.
"Just kidding, just kidding..."
The young Takamachi giggled softly, not wanting to wake the little girl clinging to her chest.
"If it's something that you've got to settle with Kha-chan, just be direct. I'm sure he'll be more than willing to answer."
"What if he doesn't want to? It might be... rather sensitive to him..."
"He will,"
Nanoha replied immediately.
"Worse come to worse, just reach to him in the way the both of you always have."
"Reach out to him like I always have..."
"Don't worry, just shoot."
Kha reassured.
Fate closed her eyes in thought.
"If I don't ask now, when will I get a chance to make him answer?"
With resolution, Fate took a deep breath, snapped up and stared deep into Kha's eyes. The Cleric-knight blinked wide, suddenly awash by a sense of foreboding.
"What was that which you used to defeat the monster which shot you up that badly?"
~ Author's Note ~
Kha's unusually relaxed and informal when it's just Fate for company.
Preview Next Snippet:
Fate, what are you thinking?
"...I want to fight you, with all your strength."
"But everytime we duel, I am giving it my all. Isn't that enough?"
"I am want to know... What you are... When you are out protecting us... I want you to use
"Eh-eeh?! Fate, that is not a joke!"
"Ie, ie da...
If I am to stop worrying about you... I'll have to trust that you won't kill yourself... But for that to happen... I have to see it with my own eyes!"
Fate-chan? Are you all right?

The Story of an African Farm
The full African moon poured down its light from the blue sky into the wide lonely plain. The dry sandy earth with its coating of stunted karoo bushes a few inches high the low hills that skirted the plain the milk-bushes with their long finger-like leaves all were touched by a weird and an almost oppressive beauty as they lay in the white light.'

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
1.) Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers youll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
2.) Measure your space by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. (If your space measures 7 inches plus 8 tick marks, that is 8/16 à 1/2. Your space is 7-1/2" on one side.)
3.) Another example: If your space is 7 inches and 9 marks past that, your material should be 7-9/16".
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
OP-3/P99 Acrylic sheet is a UV filtering grade of Acrylic sheet combined with the matte finish of our standard non-glare finish. Because it filters out 98% of the harmful ultraviolet light portion of sunlight, it is used for display cases and protective glazing, primarily by museums, galleries and private collectors.
OP3 acrylics have outstanding resistance to long-term exposure to sunlight and weathering. Acrylic has excellent optical properties and is more resistant to impact than glass. In addition, acrylic has low water absorption, good electrical resistance, and fair tensile strength. Applications are infinite, including art installations, outdoor signs, glazing, aircraft canopies, skylights, automotive taillights, dials, buttons, lighting applications, knobs, and machine covers.
[PDF: Framing Substrate Solutions from Interstate Plastics]
Acrylic applications are very broad, including: Glass Substitute: aquariums, viewing ports for submersables, automobile light lenses, hockey rink guards, riot protection, bullet-resistant glass applications (i.e. banks, gas stations, vehicles transporting valuables) Medical: intraocular lenses, dentures, dental filling, liquid rerouting Aesthetic: furniture, layered painting, photo framing, architectural installations, signage Light Redirection: even lighting dispersion panels, greenhouses, decorative lighting installations, light shelves

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) Roy Jones Jr. toyed with the crowd and with Jeff Lacy, stopping the overmatched opponent after the 10th round Saturday night.
Jones (54-5, 40 KOs) used a left hook to cut Lacy's right eye in the third round, and both of Lacy's eyes were swelling by the seventh. Lacy didn't answer the bell for the 11th round and the referee stopped the bout.

Jones joked when asked when he thought the bout was in his hands.
"When they gave me the gloves," Jones said. "My hands are still as fast as ever. I've got the quickest speed in the game."
Lacy's strategy for the faster Jones was apparent from the outset. Lacy tried to pin Jones on the ropes throughout the fight. Jones was unaffected by the tactic and seemed more worried about playing to the crowd than about Lacy's punches.
As Lacy tried to tussle with Jones in the corners, Jones told the Mississippi Coast Coliseum crowd, "Watch this," on several occasions. He followed with fast combinations that eventually took their toll on Lacy (25-3).
"I've got to give the crowd what they want," Jones said. "The crowd asked for it so I gave them what they wanted. I still love what I do."
All three judges had Jones, who has held world titles in four weight classes, far ahead on their scorecards before the match was stopped before the 11th round.
"(Lacy) could do whatever he wanted to do. I trained for everything," Jones said. "If that's the kind of fight he wanted, that's what I'll give them."
Jones said his next fight will be Nov. 21 in Australia against nDanny Green. Green, a cruiserweight, stopped Julio Cesar Dominguez on the undercard Saturday night.
Although Jones picked up a fringe belt by beating Lacy, the true, linear championship at 175 pounds -- regardless of sanctioning belts -- s vacant since the retirement of Joe Calzaghe.

Check out this display that has been found in a Kroger store! In case you can't read the fine print, it says that you can score a FREE movie ticket when you buy four M&M's Chocolate Candies 9.4 oz or larger using the mail-in rebate form here. The form says "participating retailer," so I don't think it's a good idea to attempt this at any stores until we find this display. So for now, Kroger is the only know participating retailer to us.
I think we'll get a better deal if we wait for a sale, but if you were one of the lucky folks that got the regional BOGO coupons for the big bags in the 4/12 Red Plum insert (I didn't!), then you can do something like this:
At Kroger:
BUY FOUR M&M'S 12.6 OZ, regular price $2.99
Get a FREE Movie Ticket when you buy four and submit rebate here
Use two BOGO M&M's coupons, 4/12 RP newspaper insert (regional; exp 5/24)
Price at Register: $5.98, but submit for Free Movie Ticket Rebate
Thanks and photo credit to Kroger Krazy.Extreme Couponing Tip: You can usually get two prints of most internet coupons.

I took the 'Nerd Test'. Apparently, I had a need to know if I am a major geek. Me – a nerd? Maybe I am? It's been so heavy 'round here lately, so let's have some fun today. Just some geek humor – no offense to anyone – just some light-hearted nerdy fun.
I am a Geek-WannaBe
I was a band geek in high school. In fact, I was such a band geek that I went back home (to NJ) for my BAND reunion. That's me in the front row, striped black and white shirt. Go ahead –click the link and look… you know you want to. It'll open in a new window and you can see how many of us from the 1980 classes went back to pay homage to our band geek roots. ( I can't believe I just shared that…haha!)
Now-a-days, I am a computer nut. It would be a compliment to be called a geek or a nerd. My how times change!
So – just how big of a nerd am I? I took the Nerd Test to find out.
My Nerd Test Score
Hmmmm…. as far as being a nerd, looks like I suck! I am a Nerd Failure, a the anti-geek!
Yes, folks, that nerd test is a score based out of 100. Looks like I am only 37 % nerdier than the average bear.
I'm not impressed with myself. Truth be told, I had to ask my husband for some of the answers (not that HE is a nerd… he is just a smart cookie).
Go ahead, take the Nerd Test. Click the little banner showing my nerd score and give it a whirl. Its a good 4 minutes of your life spent on fun. Don't forget to tell me YOUR Nerd Score!
Hail to the Geek
Since I am a failure in the geek/nerd department, how about a tribute to all the genuine geeks out there?

Digital Cloud To Float Above London's Olympic Games
Will the Digital Cloud design fly over London's Olympic Games?
The city of London is seeking an architectural centerpiece for its Olympic Park when it plays host to the worldwide event in 2012. One of the entries short-listed in the competition is a radical design that envisions a "Digital Cloud" floating over the city, bridging the gap between our virtual and physical world. The structure, developed by a team of architects, artists and engineers, proposes a series of interconnected plastic bubbles that takes inspiration from the work of German artist Tomas Saraceno.
The architectural piece would serve as an observation deck for viewing the happenings in the Olympic village, while simultaneously displaying relevant images and data in real-time. As the BBC explains:
The different spheres would act as structural elements, habitable spaces, decoration and LCD screens on which data could be projected.
"We could provide a custom feed of… searches made by Londoners during the Olympics to give a real time 'barometer' of the city's interests and mood," said Google, one of the supporters of the project, which has also offered to provide the information feeds.
The team also envisage projecting weather information, spectator numbers, race results or even images of the Olympic Torch on to the building.
The goal is to design the tower as a zero-sum building, utilizing solar powered elements and harnessing kinetic energy from its moving parts such as installing regenerative braking systems into the elevators. Regardless of the final outcome of the contest, the group is moving forward with the effort, pursuing funding and potential sites. Visit the project website at Raise the Cloud for more information.

Review: Deadmau5 at Red Rocks, 8/30/11
DEADMAU5 at RED ROCKS | 8.30.11
Deadmau5 rose to the top of the dance music world over the past several years mostly by catering to the lowest common denominator. His initial claim to fame, the 2006 B.S.O.D. single "This is the Hook," was written as a joke. When the track rose to number one on the Beatport chart that year, it seemed like the joke was on us. It's still hard to tell just how seriously Deadmau5 takes his music, and last night's show at Red Rocks left me thoroughly uninspired.
Aaron Thackeray
Deadmau5's staging -- an impressive, and I'm sure ultraexpensive, setup -- was the focal point of the show. Running Ableton Live from inside his signature cube and wearing his signature Mau5head, Deamau5 brought plenty of style, but not much substance. And, really, not that much style, either. The lights were pretty trippy, sure, but they weren't very aesthetically pleasing. A friend remarked that the aesthetic reminded him of a T-shirt that you'd see at Zumiez, and I couldn't disagree. The lights grew more and more intense over the course of the performance, but Deadmau5's visuals really weren't that appealing overall.

Aaron Thackeray
As far as the music, it was a strange combination of rehashed progressive house and commercial dubstep, which really isn't that strange, if you think about it: This is precisely the kind of thing you'd play if you were just in it for the money, which is exactly my sense of Deadmau5. Playing mostly his own material, he had the crowd of late-teens and early-twenty-somethings moving, but he wasn't doing anything special.
Aaron Thackeray
Generic chord progressions and synth builds fell into stereotypical dubstep breakdowns over and over again. Gratuitous f-bombs were accompanied by the word flashing repeatedly on the screen behind Deadmau5, in case you didn't get it the first time (so much for subtlety). When a vocal came into the mix it was usually pretty nauseating, especially the live vocals toward the end of the performance, which were absolutely horrendous.
Aaron Thackeray
The defining moment came toward the end of the night, when Deadmau5 dropped a remix of Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger." There was nothing harder, better, faster or stronger about the remix -- all it did was remind me just how much better Daft Punk was (both in terms of music and staging) when they played a genre-defining set at Red Rocks in 2007. But maybe that's because Daft Punk is -- and here's a semi-gratuitous f-bomb of my own -- the greatest fucking dance band of all time. In any event, last night's Deadmau5 show was something I could have lived without seeing.
Excision last night at Red Rocks. See tons more pics in the full Deadmau5 at Red Rocks slideshow.
Aaron Thackeray
Excision went on earlier in the evening, shortly after I arrived. The British Columbia-based dubstep act put together a lukewarm set made up of the most accessible parts of dubstep, electro and hip-hop that really lost the plot when he inexplicably dropped a barely-edited version of Dr. Dre's "the Next Episode" halfway through. Otherwise, Excision played mostly generic, bass-heavy dance music that would generally be considered dubstep, at least outside of serious dubstep circles. Nonetheless, he had the near-capacity Red Rocks audience somewhat engaged.
Personal Bias: Obviously, I'm not really into this kind of thing. Call me jaded if you want. Random Detail: Didn't enjoy being vomited on by the OD'd raver kid standing behind me. No bueno, dude. By the Way: I noticed security was throwing away glow-sticks at the door. Not sure what was up with that.

`Aqīqah, "Aqeeqa", "Aqeeqah" ([Arabic]: عقيقة) is the Islamic tradition of the sacrifice of an animal on the occasion of a child's birth. It is widely performed by Muslims and it is considered sunnah to slaughter one sheep for the baby girl and two sheep for the baby boy. But in Shia Islam, there is no difference in the number of sheep slaughtered irrespective of the gender of the baby. Aqiqah is a Sunnat al Mu'akkadah (confirmed sunnah). If the guardian of the child is capable of slaughtering two sheep for a baby boy and one sheep for a female child, he should do it. Muhammed said : "A baby is being pledged for his Aqiqah, sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved, and a name is given him". If one cannot slaughter on the seventh day, one may slaughter on the fourteenth day or on the twenty-first day.If one is not capable of doing so, then one may slaughter any time before the puberty of the child. [1][2]It is a tradition to do so.
Some Muslims believe that after performing Aqiqah their children will be safe from harm. Aqiqah is a type of sadaqah and it is also sunnah.[3]

Just for You Reds Case
Your Just for You Reds Case includes two bottles each of
Abbazia Barbera d' Asti D.O.C.G.
Located in the rolling hills between Milan and Genoa, Asti is known for some of the world's best wines and cuisine. The Barbera made in Asti is second to none. This elegant wine is full and dry, with firm tannins and ripe red berry flavors. While Barbera ages well, its youthful nature is especially exciting during the young stages of its bottle life.
Multiple Award Winner: 92-point Gold Medal, Critics Challenge Wine Competition 2016; Bronze Medal, International Eastern Wine Competition 2016
Albarrada Red
Albarrada is a new and exclusive winery that showcases local Portuguese grapes. This excellent red wine (or vinho tinto, in Portuguese) features Castelão grapes, which thrive on Portugal's drier, harsher climate. The resulting wine is aromatic and fruit-forward with notes of red berries and mild floral notes. We suggest Albarrada Red for fans of Tempranillo and Barbera, especially if you pair it with French charcuterie or Korean short ribs.
Villa Amoroso Chianti
These days, Chianti means way more than basket-woven bottles of table wine. Villa Amoroso sets itself apart with a joyful blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% regional varietals, creating a foodie-thrilling balance of tart red fruit and spicy herb flavors. The notes of smoke, clay, peppers, and tomato perfectly compliment tomato-based Italian dishes and dried meats. Don't believe us? Pick up a bottle and see for yourself why Chianti is the most consumed, talked, and written-about Italian wine.
Multiple Award Winner: 87-point Silver Medal, Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition 2016; Bronze Medal, San Francisco International Wine Competition 2016; Bronze Medal, International Women's Wine Competition 2016
Cuvèe Joëlle Malbec et Merlot
Among the many noteworthy French grapes, two have become especially treasured for their stunning wines. Malbec has a dark, rustic nature, while Merlot features a soft, fruit forward, and herbaceous character. When blended, they craft a unique flavor. Cuvèe Joëlle fuses red plum, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, and fresh herbs. This exciting red blend is meant to be paired with fun dishes like bacon-wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates, pungent cheeses, and bacon blue cheese burgers.
Multiple Award Winner: 87-point Silver Medal, Critics Challenge International Wine Competition 2016; Bronze Medal, International Eastern Wine Competition 2016; Bronze Medal, Berlin Wine Competition 2016
Pico Malbec
Pico Malbec's flavor profile is a salute to this style of wine's homeland, Cahors in France. It drinks profoundly, with notes of blackberry and herbs. This red's smoky overlay hits it off well with your favorite grilled meat. It's full bodied, has a personality, and has a finish that should please the wine drinker in all of us.
Award Winner: Gold Medal, International Women's Wine Competition 2016
Sierra Trails Old Vine Zinfandel
Coming to us from some of the oldest Zinfandel plantings in California, Sierra Trails Old Vine Zinfandel is a complex red with aromas of ripe berry, dried plum, and red currants. The flavor hints at tobacco, black pepper, and sweet oak, which carries the fruits through a lingering finish.
Multiple Award Winner: 90-point Gold Medal, Critics Challenge International Wine Competition 2016; 88-point Silver Medal, Monterey Wine Competition 2016; Silver Medal, West Coast Wine Competition 2016

Opening sequence
Air. Water. Earth. Fire.
After a long, fulfilled and yet exhausting life, Avatar Korra passed, being succeeded by Sari of the Earth Kingdom, who died early and almost didn't play a role in history.
The current Avatar is Asura of the Fire Nation, who mastered the elements quickly.
Although she thought she would never play an important role in history, she was proven wrong when the black ships arrived. The first one came in peace, but all the following carried a deadly cargo: WAR.
A war even the Avatar and her allies can barely end.
But the question is: Will there still be a world to save?
Previously on Avatar: The War of the Worlds
The Four Nations' Legion begins its battle against the 6th Shock Army. Their tank division, under command of Mike, their infantry, commanded by Luo, their naval forces, commanded by Zolu and Kiruya, and their air force, which is commanded by Malu, are pushing forward, while the bending division is keeping the 6th Army at bay.
The sun's zenith
The Legion's tank division rattled forward faster than it should have been possible to aid their infantry. The Shock Army's last tank exploded behind the hundreds of tanks in v-formation, which prepared for the battle ahead. Mike, sweating heavily, looked at his watch and announced, "It's noon now... Just four hours since the call came! Good work lads!"
They had driven hundred kilometres over the huge, rocky plain and were just half an hour far from the ridge Luo and his men had dug themselves in, the ordinary infantry arriving at around the same time. The sun burned down at the snow-covered ground and everything atop it, which caused every human there to sweat heavily, like in the desert south of there. Mike opened the breechblock and inserted a heavy 105-millimetre shell, which was followed by a cartridge, before he closed it again. He then opened the hatchway to reload the machine gun up there, just to be ready. When he had finished the action, the ridge, resembling a sieged fortress, came into sight.
"Sir! The two other infantry divisions and the tank division are on their way and are most likely to arrive at the same time!", a Water Tribe officer reported to Luo, who nodded, observing the enemy movements below, who had summoned the last of their tanks, most of their infantry, which was about four divisions, and heavy equipment for the latter, such as IFVs. The Legion could withstand them, but the chances to win this battle were slim. The enemy was too close and the artillery too distant to strike the infantry crawling below. The terrain between Full Moon Bay and the 6th Army's camp was plain, but most of it were impassable, and the enemy's camp was closer to their own than where the battle ended up to be fought. "Though, it's not too far for our air force!", Luo thought aloud, grabbing his binoculars and observing the IFVs and tanks, which appeared to be equipped with AA-missiles. So the infantry prepared for the inevitable, to face the enemy's infantry, who charged at their positions. The - mostly grey - mass streamed against them like a river against a dam about to break. The enemy rolled, climbed and walked up the slope, laid under heavy fire such as of machine guns. Though it seemed to take a high toll, the enemy just streamed forward, unstoppable, invincible, until the latter struck back. Shells and bullets rained at the ducking soldiers of the Four Nations, who quivering reloaded their guns, attached their bayonets or detached their heavy weaponry from their mounts. The enemy soldiers, always covering their faces beneath gas masks, stormed in and were immediately hit by metalbending and bullets, shells and grenades. However, they seemed to begin to shiver when shells penetrated the last of their tanks, killing the latter's crews and the soldiers around them. As scythes cutting down corn, the machine guns cut down the grey, armoured and uniformed masses that didn't manage to get out of the bullets' way. The grey mass, although superior in numbers, panicked and made an attempt to flee back to their camp. Answering this were detonating shells which boosted this effect. Accompanied by the now arriving two infantry divisions on foot, the Legion's motorised infantry streamed down the ridge, driven by the actual chance of emerging victorious. The grey uniformed mass fled into the - for tanks - impassable parts of the plain that were dotted with hills. The tide in the battle had turned within a few minutes, but that changed little in the aerial battle above their heads.
Malu's twin engine aircraft flew in front of a squadron of similar aircraft, as hundreds of alike formations soared over the rocky, arid plain, towards the enemy encampment. The roaring of the engines filled the air, but soon, some other kind of roaring became audible, similar to the one of rockets, or jet aeroplanes, a sound Malu had heard enough for that day: the engines of the 6th Army's (atmospherical) fighters. These soon came into sight, their coil guns firing at the head squadron, Malu's one. Reacting faster than any other pilot, Malu directed her aeroplane beneath the attacking ones, which came in similar numbers as the Legion's ones. Her plane beneath and unspotted for the next split seconds, she could think of what to do. Turning the plane around its vertical axis, she aimed it at the closest enemy fighter before firing her cannonry. The bullets hit the fighter hard, smoke emerging from the holes. It fell without a certain target, before a second of its kind opened fire at the Air Nomad's fighter, which shot up all of sudden.
"I... will... never fly with you again! NEVER!", Malu's radio operator complained, grabbing the handles of the still installed rear gun, firing it at the chasing fighter. Malu gave her best to evade the enemy's bullets, but some still managed to hit the wings. All around her, the tide was turning to the Legion's favour, just she was losing. The wings' ends detached themselves from the rest of the aeroplane with the help of the bullets that now hit more often, and both, the front and the rear guns were running low of ammunition. The engines ripped apart, setting the aircraft on fire. Just in the moment the enemy fighter would have completely torn Malu's apart, the former was shot down by one of the few of the Legion's jet fighters. Malu looked over her shoulder, witnessing the radio operator's last breath, which made her wanting to help instantly, "Dammit! Why do I have to be an airbender, why can't I be a waterbender...? Wait... I'm an airbender... "
She took control over the radio unit, contacting Mike with the words, "Uh, Mike, I kind of got shot down. If you could pick me up... I'm somewhere halfway between our and the enemy camp... "
Shortly thereafter, a response came in, noises of battle in the background, "Well, I believe I actually see your falling plane. Bend yourself out or something."
She cut through the safety belt that held her in the seat, took her staff and, assisting herself with her airbending, breaking the cockpit's glass cupola, realising just how close she was to the ground. She created a small tornado in her right hand and directed it to the cupola and, strengthened by the fall wind, broke up a bigger hole in it, which she used to rise from the sitting position she had been in for over twelve hours straight. She leapt up into the air, as her former aeroplane crashed in an explosion beneath her, setting the surrounding (few) trees on fire. She landed again in front of a squad of the 6th Army's soldiers, whom she dealt with after it had taken them half a minute to realise Malu was their enemy. She swung her staff, crashing half of the soldiers into the burning wreck her plane had become, while the other six were eliminated by a machine gun that appeared to be fired from atop a tank's turret.
"This terrain turned out to be more suitable for tank operations than anything else", the machine gunner stated, before continuing after reloading the mounted machine gun, "Well, just as the Ardennes in southern Belgium/north-eastern France... Wait... You're Malu! Come, hop on!"
Rolling her eyes at the soldier with the red beret, she asked, "Do you really have room for someone like me?"
Mike smiled at her, answering, "Only if you want to aim and fire the main gun... "
The rumbling of track vehicles and marching soldiers was clearly coming closer. Their commander had lost contact to each sergeant by now, mostly two at once. Their enemy made use of their separation, using the tactic "divide and conquer". None of the twenty-five denied that they were trembling, even Asura, who silently meditated in her foxhole. The two squads didn't even try to set up proper defences, their defeat was certain.
"So... What do we do then, when... they come?", one of the soldiers asked his commander.
"We surrender. If we fought, we couldn't even buy some time, we would be slaughtered, and those who already have surrendered as well. No, we'll surrender."
When the dust cloud following the enemy could be seen close, the two squads split and lined up, the earthbenders to the left, the firebenders to the right of Asura, who raised her foxhole's ground. Soon, the tanks moved in accompanied by IFVs, which all stopped at the sight of the meditating Avatar. The 6th Army's commander, a marshal, climbed out of the first tank, and walked past the lines the two squads had set up towards her, where he stopped, stating, "Well, who do we have here, huh? The Avatar - not that invincible after all!"
She remained calmly although a part of her wanted to rip the Marshal into a thousand pieces, and said, even more calm than she thought she could, "We surrender. Conditionless. I cannot guarantee for the Four Nations' Legion's surrender, but the last part of its bender division surrenders."
The marshal ordered them to march in chains and guarded by soldiers to the latter's camp. However, before they had reached the place, they came to a destination where the small ravines led into one, where she displayed her and her unit's skills of mental earthbending. They blocked the ravines' entrances with landslides, forbidding vehicles to pass through, much to their guards' dismay, who electroshocked them in return. Although it hurt, Asura managed a smirk as her unit had completed their objective, to trap the 6th Army in their own camp.
With both their lines engaged in combat, their naval aviation commander returned and the 2nd Fleet inclusive their reinforcements being defeated, it could be said that the Legion's navy was more or less successful, if there wouldn't have been the one thing, the shell right in front of the Nemesis' bridge. Now, the metal complex was heavily damaged and many, including their two commanders, were laying on the ground wounded. This state remained for half a minute, when Kiruya finally rose, pulled her healing water out and began to do the job she had had before the war, until she reached Zolu, who apparently had been hit worse than anyone else on the bridge. She searched for the worst injury, but as she looked over his body, she could find dozens of such, which, alongside the officer's blood loss, urged her to start healing. As she did so for over half an hour, she looked out of the - surprisingly big - hole in the superstructure the shell's detonation had caused. There, she witnessed the helplessness, the disorientation of the ship's crew after several more detonations. The rear turret itself had been penetrated by several shells, the hull bore holes through which water entered - the Nemesis had met her fate. After covering Zolu's wounds quickly with a few pieces of cloth, Kiruya stood up and screamed, pointing at an enemy aircraft carrier, "Enemy ship, larboard, all batteries, open fire!"
Though being confused, the crew obeyed and the two remaining main turrets and a few other, smaller ones, turned to the left before volleying. The attack caught the last of the enemy's capital ships completely off-guard, as hundreds of explosive projectiles pierced both the flight deck and the superstructure of the huge, afloat aerodrome. Soon, the carrier joined many of the other Fourth Reich's ships, which all were shot burning and, following after around an hour, sunk, broke apart into several pieces. Kiruya watched as the fifth volley was shot at the already sinking ship, as a hand was placed on her shoulder. A right hand of a man, who advised Kiruya, "You now better call some destroyers or something to tow the Nemesis into the harbour, since I don't believe you want her to sink. Oh, and what I believe is that the enemy's retreating."
Knowing it was Zolu, Kiruya helped him to sit down where he could command the ship, while she leapt down into the Eastern Lake, where she formed an iceboard, on which she raced towards the nearest ship, a cruiser named Iroh, where she jumped, using her waterbending to propel her, up to the bridge. She went in and straight for the radio unit, where she hijacked it and contacted four destroyers that currently weren't fighting any enemies and close to the Nemesis. As she had sent her message, she said a short "Thanks", before jumping into the waters and leaving the Iroh's bridge in confusion. Arriving at the Nemesis' bridge again, she saw Zolu collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily. Knowing what to do from years of practice, she pulled out her healing water and looked, again, for the worst wounds. After another half hour of healing with shells detonating in the distance and the four destroyers arriving, Zolu reopened his eyes, seeing the Legion's Navy returning to Full Moon Bay weakened - but victorious.
Closing in
Asura was dragged to the Marshal's tent harshly, while the news of the battle could be heard, such as "2nd Fleet defeated... No capital ships left..." or "Tank division and air force destroyed, our infantry on the run...". She decided not to listen, until the Marshal stood before her, a brown-haired man with small, blue eyes, who apparently held an old knife in his hands, sharpening it.
"You know, this knife's around three-hundred years old, but treated correctly, it still can be used for its purpose... ", he paused, grabbing Asura whom he held tightly so he could whisper in her ear and threaten her at once, continuing, " ...So... You are going to tell me what I want to know... ", backing it by taking out a pistol, whose muzzle he pressed against her head.
She laughed as if she didn't care for her life, and stated, "If you kill me, how do you want to get your answers?"
The Marshal answered this outburst with a slap that powerful the Avatar's cheek reddened and almost began to bleed. As she was cowering on the earthy floor, her kicked her, asking her over and over again, "Who is commanding your forces? WHO?!"
She refused to answer every time, and though her ribs and most of her entire body complained, she kept her mouth shut.
The sun was already setting, as the combined force of tanks and infantry rushed southwards over the vast plain, a vehicle getting struck every few minutes, spotting enemy soldiers they were chasing then and now, but never much of them, always less than a dozen. The few they managed to encounter seemed to be fleeing them, towards their camp to prepare everything to defend themselves, as a Shock Army would never retreat. The rumbling filled the air all around for kilometres, sometimes the roaring of aircraft engines joining it, though it did little to change the situation. Tired of the turret, its closeness and sitting within it for hours, Mike decided to stand up and stand, if possibly walk, on the outside of the tank. He jumped around a little atop the armoured vehicle, until Malu told him she also wanted to stretch her legs, so Mike went inside again, where he desperately looked for something eatable, however, ending up unsuccessfully. As Malu came in again, all hopes of ever getting something to eat this day were fading, but this way, the two could concentrate on Operation Nightfall. Hours passed and due to breakdowns, the motorised infantry and the tank ones were as slow as the ordinary infantry. After hours of driving, sitting and shooting, the silhouette of a vastly destroyed encampment came into sight, and Mike prepared to face the Marshal.
Arriving aboard one of their own aircraft carriers, Zolu and Kiruya ran as fast as they could to the nearest two-seated aircraft they could find, a so-called bomber destroyer, and hopped in, Zolu in the pilot's seat and Kiruya operating the rear gun. Confused at this sudden constellation, the two agreed to swap their positions, and took off just seconds later. After a few minutes of flight, the cliffs around Full Moon Bay were passed, and their camouflage was needless, but it was irrelevant due to the lack of enemy aircraft. The aeroplane, which appeared to bear Water Tribe and URN insignia, kept flying with the two high officers on board, and they saw the remnants of the land battle: destroyed tanks, burning halftracks and IFVs, and corpses dotting the landscape. After a flight of an hour, their land forces came into sight, and Kiruya asked something they should have considered earlier, "And... How are we going to land this thing?"
Answering this was Zolu by adjusting the simple radio unit in the aircraft to signal the forces below. Just after he had finished his call, an earthbender cleared a strip of land from boulders, with which he filled the holes, and created a landing strip this way, which the naval aircraft circled several times before landing with difficulties as night had fallen already. After they had landed and got out of the cockpit, the earthbender who had created the landing strip greeted them, revealing himself as Luo, "Nice landing strip, isn't it? However, how's the naval battle going?"
The two were, again, a little confused before Kiruya answered, "The landing strip could be better, and we've kind of won the naval battle."
Luo considered the said, before Zolu realised, "Wait... This is a little odd... If you're the only bender 'round here, save for Kiruya, doesn't that mean my sister hasn't returned yet?"
After Twenty-four hours
Mike, Malu, Luo, Kiruya and Zolu were sitting in Luo's halftrack as it was nearing the camp's centre, the Marshal's tent, and the hours had flown by, as it was quarter to twelve p.m. The five of them couldn't reach Asura via radio, nor could the aerial reconnaissance find them anywhere within a radius of hundred kilometres, which was the farthest from Full Moon Bay the battle had been fought. Pointed out by the fact none of the bender division could be found anywhere, they, according to Mike, must have been captured and possibly were held hostage. Snipers surrounded the central few tents as they divided themselves to different armoured vehicles, each one of them commanding it for the final encounter. The entire tank division rattled towards the group of tents in the burnt sea of such, which laid beneath a cliff. The floodlights that had been installed on the tanks' turrets now illuminated a strange scenery: the Marshal holding Asura tightly before him, using her as a human shield and pressing his pistols' muzzle to her right temple, while the rest of the bender division was tied up and stringed in lines and guarded by an equal number of the Shock Army's soldiers, who were missing their gas masks. Of the five Team members only Mike showed himself, aiming the machine gun at the Marshal's head.
"You won't do this, Grand Admiral, you could kill her! I demand your surrender... Or I'll shoot!", the latter cried out in desperation. He was right - concerning the part of shooting him with the machine gun. He pulled out his trustworthy Lee-Enfield as stealthily as possible, but when the Marshal cried, "And don't think your rifle could do any better.", he thought about what to do. He vanished into the turret for a minute, which seemed to be an eternity, just to inform Luo of his plan, "Luo! Listen up! I believe you've too seen the situation outside, and I'll shoot the Marshal, no matter what or how. Your snipers are going to shoot each of the guards once I've shot him. Understood?"
On the other end of the electromagnetic connection, Luo nodded, though Mike couldn't see it, and forwarded the order to his snipers. After he informed Mike about his snipers knowing, the Grand Admiral could be seen halfway through the hatchway, the Lee-Enfield laying in front of him.
"You demand my surrender? Well, it doesn't look like you win, thus I demand yours.", the European officer told the Marshal, knowing the latter wouldn't do as he said, instead, he replied with a sadistic laugh, almost pulling the trigger. The former decided to let another eternity that only lasted five minutes pass until the latter asked, disappointment and sadism in his voice, "Has the Grand Admiral made his decision yet or do I have to move my right index finger?"
Mike responded with a clear, "Yes, I've made my decision.", before drawing, aiming and shooting his Webley revolver at the Marshal within a split second. The bullet caught the officer off-guard and hit him in the forehead. As the sound of the shot resonated around the camp, the snipers opened fire and eliminated the guards. The loud sound of the gases propelling the bullet forward surprised everyone, and Mike's aim surprised them even more, especially Asura. Just after he had pulled his revolver's trigger, the Grand Admiral jumped onto the turret's roof, grabbed his rifle and leapt off right in front of the Avatar, who had freed herself with her breath of fire, while the tanks' crews and many infantrymen hurried to free their bending comrades. The Team gathered around Asura and exchanged compliments, before Mike ran into the Marshal's tent, where he found a bottle of sparkling wine which he took outside, before he opened it, shouting, "Bloody well done, lads, and a happy new year!"
New Year's Battle, or Operation Nightfall, had proven, once again, that, to win a battle, it wasn't ultimately necessary to have great numbers and technological advantages, but rather to have good tactics and strategy, and also that a good commander must be a good improvisator.
Notes and Trivia
- And once again, I try to improve my fanon by mixing in some logic then and now, as well as... uh, I guess you know.
- Hehe. If you didn't know what happened with the 6th Army at Stalingrad, well, you know it now. (Okay, they surrendered and were soviet POWs afterwards, but yet... )
- Oh, and an IFV is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
- Just for you to know, the battle was fought within a radius of ~100 kilometres, including the naval one. If you don't use the simple metric system, well, it's ~62 miles.
- This was the finale of Book 1. I'll change several things in Book 2, such as the opening sequence.

Tamim, Mahmudullah inspire Bangladeshis' warm-up victory – Tour Match
GRENVILLE, Grenada, CMC – Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah warmed up for the higher intensity battles with West Indies, when they set the Bangladeshis up for a 95-run victory over Grenada with purposeful batting in a 50 overs-a-side tour match yesterday.
Opener Tamim hit the top score of 91 and all-rounder Mahmudullah supported with 78, as the Bangladeshis posted 322 for six from their allocation of 50 overs in the match at Progress Park about half-hour's drive outside of the Grenada capital of St. George's.
Keone George led the way for the Grenadians with 62, but the Bangladeshis' experienced attack, led by former captain Mashrafe Mortaza, restricted them to 227 for nine in their 50 overs.
The Bangladeshis stumbled to 66 for two in the 15th over, after an opening of 56 between Tamim and Anamul Haque.
But Tamim dominated a third-wicket stand of 88 with Shamsur Rahman and looked set for a confidence-boosting hundred before he was bowled by Josh Thomas in the 29th over, following an 86-ball innings that contained 12 fours and two sixes.
The Bangladeshis slipped to 171 for four when Shamsur fell to Preston McSween in the 33rd over, but Mahmudullah found his captain Mushfiqur Rahim and Nasir Hossain stable allies and they punished the Grenadian attack in the remaining overs.
Mahmudullah, whose 61-ball knock included seven fours and three sixes, added 50 for the fifth wicket with Mushfiqur and 101 from the final 50 deliveries with Nasir before he fell to Nelon Pascal from the final ball of the innings.
Mushfiqur made 44 and Nasir made 22; Thomas and Pascal were the most successful bowlers for Grenada with two scalps apiece.
The Spice Islanders knew they were going to struggle, when discarded West Indies batsman Devon Smith, their most experienced player, was bowled by off-spinner Sohag Gazi for four in the second over.
But George came to the crease and gave the innings backbone, striking six fours and one six from 89 balls, and shared a 64-run, fourth-wicket stand with Ronald Etienne.
A handful of the other Grenada batsmen got starts without carrying on – Etienne scored 31, team captain Andre Fletcher, the West Indies limited-overs player, added 29 and Heron Campbell got 23.
Mortaza grabbed 3-44 from eight overs, Al Amin took 2-34 from eight overs and left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak bagged 2-35 from 10 overs.
The first One-day International of the Dhaka Bank Cup Series between West Indies and Bangladesh takes place on Wednesday at the National Cricket Stadium in St. George's.
