So now that the craziness of the LucasFilm and Disney merger has died down a bit I thought I'd throw in my two cents on the subject. Some people are excited by this move; others are already coining the "Disney has raped my childhood" phrase. I am but one of the millions of people whose life was affected for ever from the first time I witnessed a band of rebels take up arms against a menacing imperial threat to the galaxy. I remember as a kid in the 80's seeing Return of the Jedi in theaters. I remember watching Star Wars episode 1 over and over as a kid until my VHS tape wore out causing me all kinds of withdraws. I remember spending ever morning before school in fourth grade watching Return of the Jedi's final duel between Luke and Vader at least five times. This merger and the announcement of new movies being released causes me to fall in line with first group I mentioned, excited.
I understand people's hesitation with our beloved franchise falling into the hands of an empire, Disney. It's a happy company that produces cheery movies; not exactly the stuff Star Wars is made of. However, Disney has made some great films that don't invoke cheer and happiness. Take Tron for example, or better yet, look at what they've done for Marvel. They took great properties and figured out how to market them to a mainstream audience. Now every grandmother in America knows who Hawkeye is, that's right, Hawkeye. Disney has crafted a magnificent world where heroes come together to tackle the world's biggest foes. Who better to handle a world that's already built to continue its wonder? If you've ever seen an interview with John Lasseter, Disney's creative head, then you know there is no safer place for Star Wars then Disney. The passion, drive and ambition that John has put into Pixar and then Disney are one of the biggest reasons for Disney's success in the new millennium. If I owned a hot property that I wanted to remain intact, John is one of the guys I would trust.
Now we all know a movie as ambitious as something based in the Star Wars realm won't be cheap. Can you think if any entertainment entity with pockets as deep as or deeper than Disney's? Yeah, me neither. I'm overjoyed at the thought of money not being an object to these new movies. You need an overblown set piece? You need to build a whole new CGI platform so you can get the perfect shot of that mynock flying by? Here ya go, it's Star Wars, and not only will recoup, it will pay dividends. I am essentially expecting no cost to be too big that Disney won't okay it, because it's going sell.
I also expect Disney to understand the Star Wars Universe because they've been partners with LucasFilm for a long time now. My most favorite place to go and thing to do on Earth, ever, is Disneyland. If I could I would enter and live in one of the secret facilities that lie inside the Matterhorn and then come out everyday to enjoy all that is Disneyland. One of my favorite rides there has always been Star Tours. For those unfamiliar, it's a Star Wars based ride that takes you on a light passenger ship traveling to Endor, but with a rookie pilot droid you suddenly find yourself flying with an X-Wing squadron headed to make a run on the Deathstar. As you wait in line for the ride you are treated to large scale space cruiser mock ups as well as animatronic C-3POs and R2-D2s. When you exit the ride you come out into a gift shop filled to the eyeballs with awesome Star Wars merchandise. See, Disney already knows the property, they've worked with it before, and they have to know the fans. I have no doubt that, like the Star Tours ride, they will keep the integrity of the property intact. Trust me, if Lucas was unhappy with the results of Star Tours, it would've never seen the light of day and I wouldn't be talking about it now.
Lastly, it could always be a thousand times worse. Can you think of any other corporate entity that you would trust with a valued property like Star Wars? Not me either. Could you imagine if a studio like Fox or Paramount got involved? Next thing you know it would be Michael Bay's Star Wars Episode VII, no thank you! A friend of mine came up with a funny visual of eight Deathstars exploding simultaneously if Bay were involved. At the end of the day I trust Disney, maybe not with my life, but with my entertainment hands down. I can't think of another studio with a better reputation for making great movies than Disney. All that being said, it really can't get any worse then the prequels anyway, and Lucas made those himself. My only concern here is the Expanded Universe. I've probably spent a few hundred dollars on novels and comics all with canon approval of Lucas himself, I'd hate to see that its all not considered canon anymore, but I can live with that as long as I'm getting a great story to replace the official canon. So before we all lose it and start the pitchfork mob to go knock down the drawbridge to the Magical Kingdom, lets all breath for a minute and relax. Why don't we at least wait for the synopsis of Episode VII before we decide that Disney is raping our childhoods?

Just follow the red arrow to "continue-on Reading
The Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila
St Teresa of Avila is also the subject of some amazing works of art. There's a mountain of major works of art featuring her, but let me point you to two of the best. First Peter Paul Rubens painting, Teresa of Avila. The painting features an older St. Teresa with a book and a feather pen in her hand. The feather pen references her writings, including an autobiography that she was forced to pen by her church authorities. As such, St. Teresa was compelled to write down and share her mystical experiences, just do it Tess. And wow, what experiences she had. Her three best books are must reading if you have an interest in spiritual mysticism. Check out The Interior Castle, The Way of Perfection and Teresa of Avila, autobiography.
Which brings us to the other amazing piece of art about St. Teresa of Avila. Gianlorenzo Bernini's masterpiece – The Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila. Bernini draws upon the writings in her autobiography to use as inspiration for his sculpture in marble.
Beside me on the left appeared an angel in bodily form . . . He was not tall but short, and very beautiful; and his face was so aflame that he appeared to be one of the highest ranks of angels, who seem to be all on fire . . . In his hands I saw a great golden spear, and at the iron tip there appeared to be a point of fire. This he plunged into my heart several times so that it penetrated my entrails. When he pulled it out I felt that he took them with it, and left me utterly consumed by the great love of God. The pain was so severe that it made me utter several moans. The sweetness caused by this intense pain is so extreme that one can not possibly wish it to cease, nor is one's soul content with anything but God. This is not a physical but a spiritual pain, though the body has some share in it — even a considerable share.[from Teresa of Avila, Autobiography, Chapter 29]
This amazing sculpture, can be viewed at Santa Maria della Vittoria, in Rome, Italy. When viewed after reflecting on her writing, & reading the words that inspired Bernini to create this massive work (11 1/2 feet high) in stone makes a powerful work even stronger. The face Bernini gives St. Teresa in this work just oozes profound joy, rapture, both sensual and spiritual, and in a word – Ecstasy.

Google Inc, which a couple of years ago gave a tough time to venture capitalists by lapping up startups even before VCs spotted them, is now directly entering the space. The search engine is rumoured to be launching a venture investing arm titled Google Ventures. If this is indeed true, Google would be joining the likes of corporates like Cisco, Nokia, Qualcomm and Motorola, all of which have corporate venture arms.
A Reuters report speculates that Rich Miner, the head of Google's Android project, would be affiliated with Google Ventures. Miner, who joined Google in 2005 after the search giant acquired Android way back in 2005, is responsible for wireless platforms. He joined Google in 2005 when the search giant acquired Android, a company he co-founded and which is the basis of Google's new smartphone operating system.
A Google spokesman asked about Google Ventures on Thursday said, "It's a project we're working on. But we're not able to discuss the details right now."
He declined to comment on any role of Rich Miner within Google Ventures.

Testimonials- Ana
After receiving Invisalign® orthodontic treatment at Dr. Simpson's Avilene, Texas dental practice, Ana is proud of her brand her new smile.
View transcript
ANA: I had the Invisalign procedure done because I was not happy with the teeth that I had. I had a big gap, and it took about a year to fix, and it was not very painful. And I liked the Invisalign idea because you really couldn't see that I had them on, no one could really tell unless I let them know that I had it. And I was very pleased with the staff here with Dr. Simpson. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Simpson does a wonderful job. I was just really happy with the way my teeth turned out.

Movie sequels are like your kids. Often your firstborn is your favorite and then it's just all downhill from there. But sometimes a movie will come along that totally blows us away and trumps the original. (Donnie Wahlberg's kid brother Mark, anyone?) It's rare but it's been known to happen. Classic films like Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight and Terminator 2: Judgment Day are all arguably better than their predecessors. This is in spite of the fact that the original in all four of those examples are stellar films in and of themselves. But this unique phenomenon of superior sequels doesn't only apply to eye-candy, popcorn blockbusters. Before Sunset, Dawn of the Dead and the Godfather Part II are often considered step-ups from their respective franchises. So, in honor of the excellence that is Deadpool 2 (and Incredibles 2 and the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to Halloween), we decided to take a look at our favorite sequels that are better than the original or, at least, just as good.

Paint sprayers is a tool that smooth to help you. If you know how to take care of it, you should avoid the mistakes with a paint sprayer. A paint sprayer can speed up your painting job and save you a lot of time. It is essential for you to know how to use a paint sprayer and what are the mistakes that you might make while using it.
How often did you clean it after using a paint sprayer? You have to avoid any dirty, sticky or messy stain in your paint sprayer. Remember to wash it every time you're done using it. The easiest way to do it is by running hot water through the sprayer.
If the compressor is still charging, do not disconnect the connector hose. The compressed air can injure you by force or the hose will accidentally spin around and hit you. The worst scenario is you will experience raining paint on everything that you have in your working place. You will have a hard time to clean it afterward.
It is easy for a beginner to cause overspray while using a paint sprayer. You have to test the paint sprayer first on a scrap board, and then you have to protect any other surfaces that are not intended to paint. Cover the items with newspapers, plastic or cloth so they will not get any paint on. Check the nozzle too so you can control the overspray.
What is over saturation? It is a condition when you don't have the even strokes while you are painting. To avoid oversaturation, you have to use your hand movement equally in every stroke. Do not overlap on any surfaces and it is helpful if you can count your change.
If you forgot to dilute your paint, you would face a thick paint problem. Sometimes the paint sprayer can't work well with an opaque paint such as latex and oil-based paint. The trick is you have to read the manual instructions to know how much you have to dilute it before use. Thick paint will clog your paint sprayer immediately, and you will see the ugliest painting ever in your life.
If your paint has been sitting for a long time, do not use it as usual because it also can clog your paint sprayer. All you have to do is to strain it before use. Old paint tends to have clumps so you can use a paint strainer to remove any clumps or foreign matter that possibly exists inside that old paint. If it has too many clumps, it is time for you to buy new paint.
All paint sprayers have their nozzle. Choosing the right nozzle is not rocket science, so you have to ask for the right one when you want to buy it. Read the customer reviews when you search for a new nozzle or directly ask the shop owner/ staff about the nozzle that you have to use with your paint sprayer. The right nozzle will help you to get a smooth painting.
We hope you enjoyed our article on "7 Big Mistakes With A Paint Sprayer", if so, please share and rate it.

Arienne! We are so excited to now, officially, have you as one of us Istans! Your enthusiasm got us hooked on Arienne and we're very happy to keep you as a rider! Below is the inspiration we wrote for your Auralyth, a bubbly blend of Casper the Friendly Ghost and The Land Before Time's Ducky, just what you asked for! Of course, these are just ideas, guidelines for Auralyth, but you are now Nerai and Auralyth belongs to you, so play her how you feel is best! We had a lot of fun creating the wonderfully optimistic Auralyth and we hope you have fun playing her! — Pippa, Rushka, Sienna and T'ab
Nerai's Friendliest Green You Know Auralyth
Clutching Message
Four… four is the size of Dedanseth's first clutch ever! Thank Faranth this is not one of those clutches. It was embarrassing. One might be able to see Lanti anxiously reassuring herself that her lifemate is still fairly heavy with egg. In answer, Dedanseth just squats again. Hmmph. How do you like /them/ apples? And yet, she's still holding more. Could this be a record setting clutch for the normally slender gold? Just like that, we're up to seven.
Candy Corn Egg
Creamy, creamy white perfection swathes the narrow top of this egg, reminiscent of unblemished sugar. This thick band of color forms a triangular point with the egg's top, while at the base of such creamy delectable white is the essence of pure orange fruit. Brilliant is the large, thick band of citrus orange that covers the majority of the ever widening egg body, winding 'round and 'round down the egg until the edge of sweetened orange meets the base. Here, where the egg is fattest, is the purest of butter yellow, gilt in sun-gold brilliance. Each segment is perfectly placed, with no sugary, sweet section melting into the other. Why, it's almost like a dragon-sized snack, for who can resist the temptation to bite off one layer of candied color? From top to bottom, this egg is a pure, sugary confection of good and happy feelings.
Hatching Message
Candy Corn Egg shivers violently and pieces of the candy-coated shell begins to chew away as an emerald snout peeks out, OMNOMNOMNOM. First, the white surface melts away, followed by the sugary orange and finally the oh-so-sweet yellow, until finally the egg is gone. In the place of the sweet treat egg comes a green that seems to have absorbed all of the sugary goodness, bouncing energetically onto the sands.
The Friendliest Green You Know Dragonet
A sun-warmed giggle kisses her sweet snout, smoky olive matched by the creamy pistachio that curves around a suggestion of a smile. Three simple shades delineate her pear-shaped form, shaded dark to light, top to bottom, from delicate forequarters to powerful haunches. Shadow-dappled moss lines the delicate boning of her wide wings, sails and 'spars cast in a paler shade; the same sooty green runs from her withers along her back to encapsulate the tip of her thick tail. Olivine green coats her curves, across her shoulders and down the outer edges of her slender front and stocky hind legs, while a spring softness lights up the paleness of her belly, right down to her celadon claws.
Public Impression Message
The Friendliest Green You Know Dragonet continues down the line, sniffing and peering and generally exploring (what's under THIS Candidate's robe?!). Her pace increases to a stumbling, awkward and somewhat dangerous run as her energy can't be contained, and her hunger also drives her forward. She has to find someone to PLAY with. She bounds down the line, her tail swishing back and forth eagerly (and maaaaaybe knocking a poor Candidate from Nabol down - whoops!) until she senses something and skids to a halt. What is this? This is interesting. The little green dragon tilts her head at the hand that is held out and sniffs it, and then gives it a little lick. Food? Swirling eyes lift, and then with a gleeful and thready trumpet, the green bounds forward against her chosen one, taking them both tumbling to the sands in a delightful POUNCE. You are MINE!
Private Impression Message
Suddenly a fog begins to roll into your mind, engulfing the scene on the sands and clouding all other thoughts. But this is no simple mist, no! It is alive as it tickles your brain and blankets you with its chilly touch, and it pulsates with colors of pink and green. Suddenly a singing voice surrounds you with the mist, rapidly speaking directly into your mind: « Nerai-Nerai-Nerai! Oh hi! How are you? Oh, good, I am lovely. It is really nice to meet you, I have been looking for you, you know? Well, that is fine because now we have found each other. But, first, I am really hungry, are you hungry? I am so hungry I could eat a whole… something, what whole something do you think I could eat? My stomach is rumbling, so I think we should probably find me something to eat, huh? » The clouds begin to tinge with a crimson of hunger as they cuddle you tightly. « Oh yeah. I forgot! My name is Auralyth and I think we are going to have so much fun together! Yep-yep-yep! »
You would think that with a theme like 'Haunted Legends' it would be awfully difficult to find a good inspiration for a bubbly personality like Auralyth, but it was not hard at all! For there is one legend of a friendly, optimistic ghost that has entertained us all as children (although it is a fiction story), it is Casper the Friendly Ghost! He embraces everything about Auralyth that we wanted to incorporate: a playful being that is always up to making friends and is through-and-through a good soul! It just so happens (completely coincidental! I swear!) that in the live-action movie of Casper, Christina Ricci plays Kat, who is Casper's closest (alive) friend! What luck! So here we give you your Friendliest Green You Know Auralyth, a Ducky dragon with a dash of ghostly Casper in her!! We hope you love her as much as we loved making her!
(Hey look it is Arienne and Casper!)
Casper the friendly ghost,
the friendliest ghost you know.
Though grown-ups might look at him with fright,
the children all love him so.
Casper the friendly ghost, he couldn't be bad or mean.
He'll romp and play, sing and dance all day,
the friendliest ghost you've seen.
He always says "Hello," and he's really glad to meet-cha.
Where ever he may go he's kind to ev'ry living creature.
Grown-ups don't understand why children love him the most,
But kids all know he loves them so, Casper the friendly ghost.
"Casper the Friendly Ghost" Theme Song, by Little Richard

Candy Corn! That sugary sweet snack that's vaguely triangular in shape, colored in layers of white, orange and yellow, and full of tasty sweetness! A favorite Halloween candy treat that causes sugar rushes, aids to cavities of the teeth, but is soooooooooo yummy!
Name Inspiration
Auralyth was developed from a mixture of meanings to try to incorporate a smooth sound, that is easy to pronounce and has a good meaning for your lifemate! We started out with Saurolophus, which is the genus of dinosaur that Ducky is in the movie The Land Before Time and Rushka brought in the Cherokee name Ahyoka, which means 'she brought happiness'. And since you wanted a dragon with a bubbly dinosaur personality, we felt that Auralyth blends this together! She is your 'little she-dragon who brought happiness' (as Rushka puts it!).
We pronounce Auralyth: are-uh-lith, are-uh-leeth, or-ayh-lith, or however you want to pronounce it! Plus you have a beautiful nickname of Aura as well!
You have Impressed to quite a small dragon, she's lovably tiny and that is just fine with her. Aura's small body allows her to sneak into places that most dragons cannot and she we be able to maneuver around all of the other dragons as she bounces along with boundless energy. She may even enjoy her smallness, because a small dragon is much less intimidating to the children of the weyr and hopefully that will lead to her being able to make more friends!
Once she first bounded out of her egg it was quite obvious that Auralyth possessed a significant amount of energy, both physically and mentally. Some dragons move with a calming grace, who act like there is nothing in life worth rushing toward and they will make it there on their own time. But not Aura. No, she is a little ball of energy, always the one that is first in line for drills and weyrfolk will soon recognize her form as she goes with her bouncing walk across the bowl, almost as if she had a little skip in her step at times. Honestly, it is no mistake at all that she and Eabryllth are clutchmates, possibly even bouncing along together hither and thither.
Now, with so much energy and enthusiasm toward everything, there are bound to be some problems while Auralyth is an awkward, growing weyrling. Limbs can get twisted up, wings can be accidentally tripped on, and that sharding tail can sometimes have a mind of its own, « Oh, I am soooo sorry Dzyveth! I did not mean to knock over that pail of oil on you, it was my tail, I heard that pretty harper singing and it just started swinging all by itself! » She will be getting plenty of scrapes and cuts from her stumbly nature, but luckily you have plenty of experience dealing with children getting booboos while they get used to their growing bodies. Aura may even insist you kiss her booboos as well. ;) But the awkward phase will not last forever and once Auralyth's growth slows down, she will be a graceful bouncing dragon.
With all of that energy, especially when she is young and there are few things for her to do, it will be up to you, Nerai, to help find ways of dissapating that energy. Maybe a quick game of hide-and-seek among the dragon couches or see how many laps around the training grounds you can do in an hour? Luckily it will be much easier to find energy-draining activities once she gets a bit older: she will love to go flying out to the deserted island beaches that surround Ista Isle and you two could probably take up competitive acrobatics for the next interweyr games! There is an endless list of activities for you and Auralyth to do and with all her enthusiasm, although it will not be surprising if you go through that list rather quickly!
Auralyth will have a certain obsession with water from her hatching up to when she gets old and wrinkly (although I don't think dragons get old and wrinkly, but you get the idea). Luckily you Impressed at Ista Weyr, where there is plenty of water and tropical beaches around the place. At first she'll just love to float around and soak up the warm water under Rukbat, but soon she will learn to swim through the water. And when she /does/ learn, Faranth, you're going to have trouble getting her out of the water and into the air. She will be a swimming star! This will lend to her grace both in the air and on land, with all of that exercise and flexibility developed while in the water.
She has the energy, she has the small body, it will be no surprise that Auralyth will be an excellent flyer when she grows up (more Petrie than Ducky in this case). This skill, and her general enthusiasm for fun, may cause some troubles with drills and just flights in general, « Why should we move in a straight line, huh, huh? It is much more fun to do loops and rolls than any boring normal flight. » Your dragon will prefer a more erratic form of flying, wanting to explore all of the air space rather than straight and boring. In addition, these acrobatic skills and her speed will make mating flights awfully difficult for all of the male dragons that chase her.
When it comes to eating, Auralyth will have a healthy appetite throughout her entire growth period and up to adulthood. It is quite normal that she will need to eat plenty to sustain that high level of energy that Aura puts into everything. What won't be normal is her behavior when she eats her food. You may not notice it the first few meals, but soon it will be quite obvious that Auralyth plays with and even talks to her food.
« Oh hello Mister Meat, I am going to enjoy you! Yes I am! Yum yum yum! »
But things will start to get more interesting once the weyrlings move on from pre-chopped food and onto the food that is still alive, like the wherries and herdbeasts in the feeding grounds. Auralyth will want to play with them, maybe a light game of tag or hide-and-seek, but that will only last so long as her primal urges take over and she decides to eat her brand new friend. And she will chat with them the entire time, as if nothing was weird about this behavior.
« Oh hi Miss Wherry, let us play! Oh this is fun, I like chasing you! Why are you falling down? Oh! Oops! I did not mean to step on you. Oh, you are bleeding. That smells really good. I think I will eat you now. You are delicious! Thank you so very -very much for being so delicious! »
Auralyth's mind is like that of an ancient landscape. A primordial swamp filled with dampness and teeming with life. Now, it's not a yucky place by any means. Sure, there's mud, but it's *fun* mud - mud for playing in and building things and mud that's good for your skin! And what's that, is that a reed? That tickles! And OH! OH! What's THAT?! Let's go SEE! Her mind is a limitless place to explore, full of all sorts of adventures and mysteries and things that not even she can identify. It's like her imagination is constantly running rampant and getting away from her conscious thought, and sometimes she can even confuse herself.
Overall, though, her thoughts are those of the interplay between mist and light. Playful mists and cheery lights will envelop your mind as she converses with you, other dragons, and probably some of the Weyr's children (although you may need to restrain her from scaring them too often). At first it will be a mysterious and almost ghostly feeling to be engulfed by these cool, tickling mists, as if you were in a dream state. And maybe you are! Who's to define the interplay between rider and dragon, and the link of your minds? Her connection with you is a fluid one, but it is solid at the same time. Like iron chains wrapped in silk, she slips in and out of your thoughts and yet is tied to you the same way a ghost is tied to the moral realm. She is there, but she is not. She can see things that are beyond your own grasp, and sometimes can seem to drift to the very fringes of your senses, but just when you start to get nervous, she floods back to you with a torrent of thoughts and a cascade of mist and blinding light.
Of course, Auralyth cannot have just plain old, boring mists for a mindscape, can she? Oh no, these are colorful mists, flashes of playful pink fog and energetic emerald clouds will roll around in your head as she speaks. In her most excited state, it will be a playfully windy fog that hugs and tickles your mind and bounces around as if the mist were almost alive, along with those flashes of light. The entire rainbow of colors will be used during those moments of absolute glee. But if she's nervous, or shy, or even sad, it will feel more like a settled fog upon a town, just rolling slowly with shy cyans and awkward auburns.
Just like any mist, or any interplay between water vapor and light, there will sometimes be illusions, as well. Out of the corner of your eye you might *swear* you see an approaching wherry, only to turn and see nothing but a young boy staring at you oddly. Or, in the deepest part of the night, you might open your eyes and have a scare when you think you see a drifting orb of light bobbing in the distance, or the faint outline of something in the shadows. It could be sinister or it could be playful, depending on your mental state upon waking. For Auralyth, it's all constantly rolling out of her thoughts, and sometimes into the thoughts of unwary folks who happen to be nearby. She's an emotive dragon, and it might be some time before she's gained the control necessary to keep her thoughts to herself. And even then, she still might wish to reach out to people who aren't you, either to share a sudden flash of inspiration, or lend a comforting thought, or a curious question. Don't be surprised if she suddenly pounces up to a poor trader with a misty, « HI! I am Auralyth, and I think you have got the most *amazing* shirt on, and I love how it shimmers in the light like that and it kind of hurts my eyes but I LOVE IT. » And you, her poor rider, will have to run damage control. Both with the shocked (and probably terrified and/or offended trader), and with Auralyth, who will simply not understand why someone could be frightened of her. It's this lack of understanding that will sometimes upset her.
Your Auralyth will be prone to bouts of depression, especially when she realizes (from time to time, and then promptly forgets) that she's different from the other dragons. And she is remarkably different. Friendly, over the top, energetic, creative, and child-like, she'll often run aground on other dragons' more mature or stoic natures. She can be, frankly, annoying, and will probably be shot down quite a bit from other dragons who don't understand or can't handle her zealous nature. During these times, her mind will be somber and grow more heavy, like the worst Istan humidity you can imagine. And cold, on top of that. Bone chillingly cold. It will cover you and smother you and it will be difficult for you to shake your own thoughts. You might find yourself thinking about all the sad and depressing things in your life, and if you're not careful, both you and Auralyth can spiral down into a vortex of unshakable depression. It will be up to you both to help pull yourselves out of the depression, with you taking the lead, because if you're sad, it's sure to pull her down.
« Nerai, why are you sad? What is wrong? Did I do something? I am sorry for what I did. I can't remember what I did but I am sad for it. Can I fix it? I can fix it, I know I can, if you tell me what is wrong. »
And when she's angry, which will be rare (see below), the clouds of color will become dark and swift swirls of revolting red and violent violet and there may even be some flashes of lightning that arc across the mind as she unleashes her inner beast. When those moments come, because they are so uncommon and so frightening, you may find yourself scared due to the primal nature that Auralyth can possess. It will come swiftly and it will come unexpectedly, and might strike at you without much warning.
She is a talker, though, and you'll be the primary target of her conversations, being her lifemate. For the first few months it will be like you have a constant narrator in your head that will always find something in life that is worth discussing. Her speech rhythm is rapid fire with that higher pitched sing-song quality to it, just like Ducky.
« Nerai-Nerai-Nerai! Did you see how I ate that piece of meat, it was a big piece meat, I'd bet it was bigger than my head, do you think it was bigger than my head? I think so, but it was so delicious and I was able to eat it in two bites. Two bites! Is not that just amazing? I think so too. Oh, I think I itch a little bit, do you feel how I itch, you know when I am hungry so you should know when I itch, too, right? That is so interesting, I think we should probably get me some oil, did you see that Tyroth has special scented oils? I like those oils, do you think we could get some oils from T'ab? I bet we could if we asked nicely, I will ask Tyroth! Yep yep yep! »
Ahh, Auralyth. If you were looking to extend your period of caretaking and nannying into the rest of your life, it happened when Auralyth looked into your mind and Impressed. Because your Auralyth is quite the child-like creature. She is exuberant, she is inquisitive, she is endlessly curious and adventuresome, has boundless energy, talks incessantly, will ask the same question over and over and over and over and over again, and she loves you, her rider, with every fiber of her being. She is friendly, she is awkward, she doesn't fit in and (most of the time) she doesn't care. She can play hide-n-seek with the best of them (even Kehemath will be hard pressed to find her, sometimes!) but she can have moments of a truly profound nature, the way that only a pure soul and an innocent heart can.
An eternal optimist, she will see every problem or negative event as an opportunity to improve herself and yourself. She sees the positive in every person, even the darkest of souls, and is always willing to give a fellow dragon a cheery greeting and a conversation (even if the other party is not willing).
« Hello! How are you? Oh, I am fine, yes. It is a fine day to swim, huh? I love to swim so much, they say I am a pretty good swimmer, I do not know if that is true but I try really hard to swim well. Yep yep yep! »
This optimism will seem almost blindly positive at times, Auralyth believes that she (and you) is capable of anything that she puts her mind toward. Her personality will sometimes come across as naive to others (and possibly you, at first), as things that should be impossible will be treated as possible by her. Most dragons cannot do more than one lap across the bowl for their first time flying? She's going to attempt to do two. Dragons can only hold their breath underwater for two minutes? She will try for three. And even failure will not shake her belief in the impossible, Aura will always dust herself off and try again. And she will attempt to instill this optimism into her fellow dragons, Auralyth will be the clutches' cheerleader, always willing to offer motivational comments or support her 'mates in their efforts.
« You can do it Fionabhairth! I bet you will be the bestest flier out of us all! Yep yep yep! »
But of all of the people on Pern that Auralyth will cheer for, you, Nerai, will be her favorite one. She is your #1 fan and always will be. Aura will gently push you to be constantly improving yourself, to run than extra lap and to stuff that extra sack of firestone, but also to find time to play and relax and enjoy all the wonderful things that life has to offer. You and her are duty bound, but Auralyth will always make sure that you have a little bit of fun every day, to maintain a positive attitude and a light heart. If Nerai is in a funk, Aura will be right there with all of the equipment to build some sand holds on the beach. If Nerai just got dumped by a boy, the green will convince as many of your clutchmates and other friends to come over for a giant slumber party! She will always know what is needed to fix whatever bad thing that has happened to you, or at least help you forget by distracting you with games and play.
Her exuberant amount of energy will not just apply to situations when she wants to play, it will definitely carry over into Auralyth's everyday duties. She will turn every activity, no matter how dull it may seem, into a game of some sort and she loves games! Firestone duty? « We should see how fast we can fill the bags and how big of a tower we can build! It will be fun, yep yep yep! » Elevator duty? « Let us see how loud we can get this drudge to scream? I bet you I can make him scream the loudest! » Mucking duty? « Can we build a muck hold? Please please please? » … okay that is a little gross, but you get the picture. With the insane amount of energy Auralyth possesses, in combination with her fun-loving approach toward work, you two are destined to be very successful in your duties and maybe one day you will see the reward through promotion to higher ranks.
You will find Auralyth extremely interested in your past as a Nanny at High Reaches. She will be fascinated with the littlest of humans, because they often see the world as Auralyth does: with a playful, optimistic outlook! It will start off as an observational interest, she will love watching children play and often comment on how much fun they are having.
« Nerai, look at that sandhold! It has shells and seaweed and they even made a flag out of driftwood and cloth! That looks so much fun. Can we make one? Oh-please-oh-please-oh-please? »
Like Casper, Auralyth will feel like an outsider to the children's world, because she knows she is not a human child and may even be worried she'll scare the children (or maybe she will scare the children on accident when she tries to play with them), but with time and with your help, she will begin to understand them better and the weyrbrats will begin to recognize Auralyth and her playfulness. Soon you will have trouble separating the children and your lifemate, they'll be out on the beach playing games or having a splash fight in the waterfall's pool. By the time weyrlinghood is over, do not be surprised if Aura is often followed around by a little posse of children.
This love toward playing and teaching little ones, along with her inherently strong amount of empathy, you may find yourself leaning toward positions like assistant weyrlingmaster and (maybe one day) weyrlingmaster, where Auralyth and yourself are able to utilize your strengths of compassion and teaching. Dragonhealing might also be a potential life goal, because it often requires the same set of tools as weyrlingmastering.
Of course, this energetic and gregarious nature will not sit well with everyone she meets. There will be dragons who are put off by her energy, her curiosity, and her need to be liked by everyone. She might have some rather rude and abrupt encounters, particularly with the more mature and stoic of dragons, and it will be up to you to give her a hug and tell her that it's okay to be different. She won't really understand why everyone doesn't like to play all the time, and it'll be a difficult line for you to walk with her, between encouraging her natural born energy, and being calm enough to get by without constantly being snapped at. Don't be surprised if some of your comments send her into a true sulking pout, and she'll probably even go find a corner to curl up in, dejected, until she either thinks of something else, or you go and soothe her wounded heart.
She is a dragon who feels all things intensely, with her whole being. When she's happy, she's over the top, boundless, sing it from the mountaintops happy. To the point where sometimes you might want to cover your ears and yell at her to stop pushing HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY feelings at you. When she's excited, it'll be a near whirlwind of thoughts spinning through your mind, and sometimes it might actually make you throw up from the sheer movement of it all. Her depressions are sudden and crushing, and you might not be able to make her get off her couch for a few days, until you find a way for it to lift.
Like a moth to a flame, or more like a butterfly to a black light, Auralyth will be oddly attracted to the dark soul that is Dzyveth. She will find his mannerisms, and his mindscape, intriguing and will often find excuses to try to associate herself with him. Her bubbly personality will overflow as if she is attempting to counteract all the negativity that the bronze can bring. Quite often she will pepper him with conversation, with questions, any interaction that can help her better understand what makes Dzyveth tick.
« Why do you brood all moody-like in the shadows, Dzyveth? You should come out to play with me in the ocean, I do like to swim, do you like to swim? I do not see you a lot in the water, but maybe that is because you like to swim only at night because it is darker. Is that true? Huh, Huh? And why do you scare all of those children, that is not very nice, no not nice at all. Nope nope nope! »
« Will you /shut/ /up/ Auralyth? »
« Why would I want to shut up? I enjoy talking, although I have been told that I talk a lot and that can sometimes be annoying, but I really like people. And I really like you, you are funny, Dzyveth, do you want to play hide-and-seek with me? Huh, huh? I bet you that I can find the bestest hiding place in the whole weyr and you will not be able to find me for days! I am a good hider. Yep yep yep! »
While it will be rare and far between, there is the possibility that your lifemate will reveal a much darker side. When she's angry, look out. These periods of temper will be very brief, but like a sudden earthshake, they can leave devastation all around her. This side only comes out when there are certain people being threatened: you, the people you love, or children. Angry-Aura stops being the playful, fun-loving creature and will be a dragon that would scare the Faranth out of even the largest gold. She will be quick-witted and sharp as a dagger in her speech and her typically diminutive size will suddenly feel overbearing. The poor aggressor that finds themselves in Auralyth's sights will not soon forget their experience with her dark side. But never worry that she will ever stay that way, because just as soon as the matter is resolved will Aura snap back to her bubbly personality, ready to look at the world again through her rose-colored glasses.
Happy people generally find other happy people to hang out with, and this will also be true of your Auralyth. And who is happier or more playful than dolphins? She will find herself very interested in their behavior, their ability to swim so fast, their social structure, everything! This would be a great time to utilize D'ren's past experience with the dolphins. Don't be surprised if she wants to spend hours upon hours laying on the dock or floating in the sea, listening to the dolphins talk or simply playing with them.
When Auralyth is proddy there will be no major, glaring changes in her general personality, not like some of the more intense proddy greens. The changes will be much more subtle, at least emotionally. And it may be because of this subtlety that it will be much more obvious physically than emotionally, Auralyth will not be slow to glow, instead from the first day of proddiness her hide will be much more bright.
Normally Auralyth could care less about whether a fellow dragon was female or male, as long as they were fun they were worth playing with, but come proddy-time you may find Auralyth is a tad more distracted by male dragons than usual. Soon she will begin to focus just a little more energy on getting the male's attention, making sure she is bathed more often and that you use the pleasantly scented oils instead of the plain old ones. Her talons will need to be buffed a bit more and she might want you to reserve a special pair of riding straps just for her proddy times. All of these actions are meant to be little hints to the males that they should be getting ready to chase her. And she will not always be so subtle about it when conversing with these potential suitors, either.
« I see you are eating that large herdbeast, Vrykth. That is very good because I will be rising soon and you will need all of the energy you can get. Yep yep yep! »
The actual flights will be a demonstration of all of the abilities Auralyth has, like a serious game of tag, Aura will swoop and dash through the skies as she forces all of the males to push themselves just to keep up. To her, it is not only a mating flight but a game and she will revel in the fun that can be had during the flight. For this reason, blues and small browns will probably be the most common catchers as they are the few able to keep up with her aerial acrobatics.
And that, in so many words, is Auralyth! Or at least how we saw Auralyth in action, she now belongs to you, Nerai, so play her however you want! We fell in love with you and Auralyth and are excited to see the fun that the pair of you create at Ista Weyr! Good luck!

Who can the play the roles of Product Owner and ScrumMaster? And do they need to be full-time?
The ScrumMaster
Can the ScrumMaster perform the role of Product Owner?
No. There is a potential for a conflict of interest. One of the duties of the ScrumMaster is to protect the team from over-committing to an over-eager Product Owner. If I am performing both roles, we've got a problem.
Can a developer be the ScrumMaster?
This was generally what happened when I first started using Scrum. One of the dev team would act as ScrumMaster for a Sprint, then pass on the duties to another dev for the next Sprint. It wasn't a disaster, and worked well enough for a small development team, but I've seen it work better when there is a dedicated ScrumMaster. A dev is a specialist in, well, development, so does not necessarily hold the skills needed to be a good ScrumMaster. Larger organisations usually benefit from stand-alone ScrumMasters because they will often take on coaching responsibilities too, working with the broader business.
Does the ScrumMaster need to be full-time?
Yes. There needs to be a ScrumMaster available when the development team is working. Ideally they sit with the team, but they should at least be contactable by phone, email, instant messenger, etc. The team is not going to work as well if their ScrumMaster only works 3 days a week.
Product Owner
Can the Product Owner be a dev?
This isn't as bad an idea as the ScrumMaster being a PO, but it is normally quite a hard situation: the PO not only needs to form a relationship with stakeholders (i.e. the business), but also have the position/status within the organisation to make tough decisions which stick. Would your stakeholders be happy with one of the devs deciding on the prioritisation of requirements?
Does the Product Owner need to be full-time?
Yes. The PO needs to be available when the development team is working. Ideally they sit with the team, but they should at least be contactable by phone, email, instant messenger, etc. A Product Owner who only works 3 days a week is going to be problematic.
There are bound to be exceptions. I'm not saying it's impossible for the above to work (for example, a 2-person company), just that I'd not recommend it.

Cushnie et Ochs
The designers: "Sexy" (and ultra-flattering) is what New Yorkers Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs do best. It's also why they have great swim. This season it's about: Inspired by Frida Kahlo, their (normally monochrome) palette shifts to vivid painterly prints and statement 3D embellishments. We love the corsets and crop tops paired with slit-to-the-knee ruffled back pants.

San Diego, CA |
Jay Palmer and Jeff Blankenship were in San Diego at the Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium 2015 presented by the American Society Naval Engineers.
They had numerous demo flanges to give demonstrations on the SPC4™ Wireless Model that is now in testing. In addition they took a beautiful Maxbolt™ Knowledge that was recently created with a high visibility indicator, capable of being seen at great distances. As per usual, they also had samples of the original Maxbolt™, SPC4™, Ball Lock Washers and so much more!!
This annual event is targeted at US Navy fleet personnel and suppliers. Attended by Port Engineers, Admirals, and Tech Warrant Officers alike, the theme of the event and focus of vendors is on improving reliability and reducing cost and repair. From General Dynamics to Superbolt, and complete ships to pumps, adhesives, and engineering services, all topics relate to reduced cost and more reliability.
We were very well received by everyone who witnessed our demo and products. Most had never seen such technology and embraced it with positive feedback.

Things are heating up this April as Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Sarah C joins enigmatic Cairns band The Tall Poppies for two massive nights of entertainment at BAR36 at this April. This is an exciting opportunity to North Queenslanders to catch this vibrant performer ahead of her July return in BAR36 and her headline party across Amateurs weekend as part of The Reef Hotel Casino's official celebrations.
Described as embodying a heady combination of dynamite energy and a powerful soulful voice, Sarah C is a seasoned performed who has earned the reputation as 'Melbourne Soul Diva' on her home turf.

Let the jam commence yet again!
RELIC GAME JAM #3 has begun!
Recruitment Thread
Overview Thread - Discussion Thread
Be sure to check out the #game-jam-3 channel on our Discord!
Relic Game Jam #3
Welcome to the third annual Relic Castle Game Jam!
For the uninformed: a game jam is an event where developers will get together and make a game. It sounds simple at first glance, but making a good game is much more difficult and time consuming than you might think. Participating in one is a great way to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and polish your overall experience as a game developer.
We've now had two very successful game jams under our belt. Previous years demonstrated to us that the Pokémon fan game community is full of creative individuals who have an eye for quality and interesting ideas. We've always been impressed with what comes out of these game jams, and we're eagerly awaiting what this year will hold!
This is, of course, the first game jam on our relatively brand new forums. That hasn't dulled any of the hype and enthusiasm for this year's game jam though, as it looks like that everyone has been looking forward to it with bated breath. With all that said, good luck to all participants!
And an extra special thanks to @Cilerba for the game jam logo this year!
You can find more information about the game jam in the Overview Thread.

Carroll Leads Large School Softball All-Stars
CORPUS CHRISTI - A contingent of four players represent the Carroll Tigers on the 2019 South Texas Preseason Large School Softball All-Star Team.Head coaches from 14 Class 5A area schools voted on the all-star team, which will be recognized at the 15th annual South Texas Winter Baseball Banquet on January
CORPUS CHRISTI - A contingent of four players represent the Carroll Tigers on the 2019 South Texas Preseason Large School Softball All-Star Team.
Head coaches from 14 Class 5A area schools voted on the all-star team, which will be recognized at the 15th annual South Texas Winter Baseball Banquet on January 24 at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel. Tickets are $55 and may be purchased at the Whataburger Field Box Office or by phone at 361-561-HOOK (4665).
Vanessa Quiroga won 26 games and posted a 3.69 ERA as a freshman for the Tigers last season, en route to being named District 30-5A Newcomer of the Year. Quiroga's catcher, senior Samantha Gaona, earned all-state honors by the Texas Girls Coaches Association in 2018.
The battery is joined on the preseason all-star team by Carroll crewmates RheaAnn Avalos (second base) and Lindsey Evans (outfield). During her freshman campaign, Avalos compiled a .913 on-base plus slugging percentage and fielded at a .958 clip, which made her the district's defensive player of the year. Evans was first-team all-district and first-team All-South Texas by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times last season. She batted .388, socked 24 extra-base hits, and plated 25 runs.
Both Tuloso-Midway and Flour Bluff are represented by three players. Cherokees pitcher Breanna Reyna was a District 30-5A first-teamer as a sophomore last season. Reyna, a repeat preseason selection, was second-team All-South Texas in 2018. Jordyn Torre and Ysa Esquivel are the preseason all-star team's designated player and utility player, respectively. Esquivel was first-team All-South Texas a year ago, leading T-M in six different offensive categories, including a .487 batting average.
The Hornet faction is made up of seniors: pitcher Kayci Spittler, shortstop Cydney De Leon, and outfielder Madi Hale. Hale was the District 30-5A Offensive Player of the Year last season. Spittler and De Leon were district second-teamers.
As a junior in 2018, Sydney Ouellette went 20-11 with a 1.22 ERA and 187 strikeouts in 183 innings for Gregory Portland. The production rendered Ouellette District 30-5A MVP and first-team All-South Texas accolades. This is will be her third recognition at the South Texas Winter Baseball Banquet.
Ouellette is joined on the pitching staff by fellow repeat selection Karyme Carreno of the Moody Trojans. Carreno was named by the Caller-Times as first-team All-South Texas last season.
The all-star squad's first baseman is Katherine Flores, who led Calallen to a share of the District 30-5A title in 2018. Flores batted .469 and boasted an .864 slugging percentage while going 6-1 with a 1.45 ERA in the pitcher's circle. She was first-team all-district and first-team All-South Texas.
Third baseman Crystal Davila batted .389 and drove in 25 runs as a sophomore for King a year ago. This is Davila's second post on the preseason all-star team.
Rounding out the squad is Ray senior outfielder Brianna Lopez, who racked up a 1.141 OPS for the 2018 Texans.
The small-school division of the 2019 South Texas Preseason Softball All-Star Team was announced Tuesday. Click here for the story.

Many fans are understandably excited about David Gordon Green's upcoming Halloween film and the fact that it is being sold as the direct sequel to John Carpenter's classic.
And when one reminisces about the original film, next to Carpenter, the person most associated with Halloween is Laurie Strode herself: Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis announced today via twitter that the production was coming to a close and that all of her scenes have been filmed.
Three generations of strong, striped Strode women. Wrapping up this astonishingly scary revisit to Haddonfield. @andimatichak @missjudygreer #acorn #sapling #oak @halloweenmovie #HalloweenMovie @Marinelayer pic.twitter.com/5o78p4lE9Q
— Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis) February 16, 2018
The other cast members pictured in the tweet are Judy Greer who plays Karen Strode, Laurie's daughter, and Andi Matichak who will portray this version's "final girl".
The news that Curtis finds the film "astonishingly scary" is certainly encouraging, but all fans will be able to judge for themselves when the new film is released on October 19th of this year.
Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more updates on this production as we get closer to Halloween.

Magic in his Hands
Author: Nuvena Rajendran – DECCAN CHRONICLE
Sculptor Kalyan Rathor talks about his Guinness achievement
Bengaluru based industrial designer, Kalyan Rathore has taken the plunge into sculpturing and has given wings to his imagination. His leap of faith, has earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records and has also led him to setup his own studio. Specialising in sculpture and installation he says, "I like to explore and imagine things. That has led me to become inventive."
Branding him as a 'misfit' in a generation which gave importance to academic rather than creativity, he recalls, "In my first grade, when I was asked to shade four boxes in colours, I managed to do it with different shades of black using my pencil since I had forgotten my colours." His tryst with design and creativity was inspired from his father, who was an aeronautical engineer. "My father gave me the hope that I could think out of the box." He claims, his approach to art is through engineering and says, "Though people think engineering isn't very creative, I feel it depends on how much people are willing to explore."
About the Guinness Record design, he says that he formulated a plan which would hold 22,000 photographs together. He explains, "My challenge was to use just photographs and glue. I designed a beehive structure, which could stack the photographs and hold it firmly. It took two months to finish it." Speaking about the record for the world's largest photo sculpture, he says that he was surprised that the book of records did not have any discipline in installation art. "I am thrilled about the feat and I am glad it paid of well", he proudly says. As a self taught sculptor, he has created a lot of designs with steel and also transformed them to interpret a variety of themes. His pieces have been showcased at many exhibitions around the globe. He has been popularised as one of the top ten artists in a survey on a social networking site. As a passionate animal lover, he takes time off to raise his voice against the cruelty meted out to them.
For the record, a beehive of photos
Author: Aparna Chandra – ENS – BANGALORE – 07th November 2013
For four months city sculptor and artist Kalyan Rathore carried a secret with him. "Thankfully, I could let those on my social circuit know or it might have been tough to keep such news to myself," he says of being part of a Guinness World record. In May this year, Rathore created a 'photo sculpture' using 40,000 pictures. Shaped to resemble a beehive, the entire structure is made up of only photographs, using no aid for support or to frame.
For the sculpture he had been approached by an American IT services giant that has major presence in the city to work on a project with an eye on making a world record.
"The MNC holds annual contests for its employees. This year, the contest was in India for which it had collected 22,000 employee photo portraits. This is when I was commissioned to create a sculpture out of the photographs," says Rathore.
After nearly four months of planning the design, the model and a mock-up later, in March, he began the process of assembling the structure. Each employee photo, sized as much as a matchbox and shaped as a triangle, was folded and fitted to make the hexagonal shape of a beehive. Once done, the sculpture measured 15 feet and four inches high with a 12 feet base.
On display at the MNC's Whitefield office from May to August, it was eventually dismantled. But not before it was certified by the record book as the 'world's largest photo sculpture' in July.
"The company is the record holder and I have been certified as the official artist to have worked on the sculpture," says Rathore.

Wednesday 14 April – length and breadth
Here's is today gratuitous shadow minister shot, Jim Paice, shadow Minister of Agriculture. This came at Darlington Station at the end of a long, long day of driving, from Berwick down to the North Riding of Yorkshire, and quite a few points in between. There were 4 farms involved, all very different from each other. The first visit was to North Doddington Farm, north of Wooler, where the Maxwell family have successfully diversified their small dairy into cheese and ice cream production. Anne-Marie was our first host in Berwick – and in Wooler I saw my first Lib Dem poster, the usual luminously tedious "winning here" on a lopsided square.
We then had a 97 mile trip down to Middleton on Tees. Our schedule had an error in it, suggesting it would take an hour to make that journey, when it takes, well, two hours. This meant we were horribly late into the Upper Teasdale's Agricultural Support Service (UTASS) office in the middle of Middleton. Luckily Jim Plaice was able to quickly address the concerns of the 20 – 25 farmers that candidate Barbara Harrison had invited along. There a lively discussion on farming, and it was good to hear Jim being so articulate about issues such as cross-compliance and Higher Level Stewardship.
Finally off to Paul Bristow down in Middlesborough South, or rather Guisborough. Here he is with a local dairy farmer, plus dog. Jim finished off with a particularly good and punchy interview on BBC Tees (Iplayer link, approx 1:12.32 in) local radio, and still managed to slip onto the train as scheduled.
Gosh, I am tired!
