"Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict."
If anything can be said of Mikel, it is that his personality has evolved during his life. When he was a child, it seemed to be endless optimism and joy. Nothing could be out of his reach, though he was never arrogant about it. And he always had a firm set of morals, which he used to help whoever he could. This ideal carried over to when he became a Jedi, though it was slowly being changed. As a Padawan, he started to hear more about the Sith. That caused him to start to grow a dislike for their ways. Yet he also pitied them, as he saw them as weak due to what they did. But that would change when he became a Knight, a strong one in his own mind, and began to fight against them. His thoughts towards them changed to hate, a hate for the destruction they caused. But more importantly a hate for their very existance. He sought to kill them, erase them, and would go so far as to seek them out. This constant fighting caused him to become arrogant, however, as he was the champion in his own mind. Those two things, the hatred and arrogance, fed each other. Both slowly becoming stronger until he became taken over by both of them. His hatred for Sith had evolved to hatred of anyone who proved him wrong. His arrogance made him challenge his fellow Jedi. Fighting was all he thought about, and then it happened. Then he fell from the light, his hatred directed at those who had "failed" him. Everything was changing. Along the way, another aspect of him had changed, even. His loyalty, it grew to be attached to only a select few. And there was one raised higher than the others. The arrogance, hatred, and scant loyalty, would be what defined him in the years to come. Yet it was dying out, the hatred being replaced by something else. Mikel was starting to become the calm that the Jedi had wanted him to be, his hatred being replaced and taken over by what most would see as arrogance. It had become cemented in his mind that every other being that wasn't River Shanshu, Karma Shanshu, or himself, were inferior. The others were just things, even. Not even his former allies would be immune, slowly becoming backdrops in his mind as something else took over. What most see as insanity, he sees as the truth.
A look in the mirrorEdit
Even when Mikel started out as a Jedi, his attire differed from the other padawans. That was because he was honoring his master, black robes to match those of Link Tolen. Those same style of robes, albeit it different robes to be sure, still are to be seen. Due to his long years of training, he has developed a slender, yet toned, figure. This is something that sets him apart from some of the Sith that seem to frighten by sheer size. Not only that, but his brown hair and blue eyes, along with the way his face looks, would almost make him seem kind. In fact, he really isn't scary looking in any way.
Weapons, ways of fighting, and other useless informationEdit
When Mikel was a Jedi Padawan, a Knight, and even up until the last days of him being a Sith Knight, he had but two lightsabers that he valued. Theu were green and blue, and he trained with them excessively. Afterwards, they got destroyed at the hands of two separate opponents. That taught him an important lesson about keeping spare lightsabers. Ever since then, he has tried to make sure that he will not lose for a lack of a weapon. Nowadays he carries a lightstaff, and two lightsabers. Usually all of them are of the same color, red, as that was what he could pilfer from the Sith Temple. Mikel has always worked hard to keep up with his lightsaber combat, and so he has become more attuned with using actual weapons than some of his fellow Sith. This means that he can adapt in strategy, always trying to gain the upper hand. From defense to attack, it doesn't matter. But this also means that his abilites with the force are lesser than a lot of his fellow Sith.
History before the JediEdit
As Mikel was born on Tatooine, Mikel always thought about what laid anywhere else in the universe. As soon as he could talk, he started to ask, non-stop, what there was beyond Tatooine. Soon, everyone got tired of the question and Mikel ended up being ignored for a good portion of his life. During his childhood, Mikel had learned how to wield a blade but not enough to be a master at it. He had to stop learning when his mother forbade it until Mikel grew up. Leaving home at 18 was something that Mikel had thought about all his life. He didn't exactly know why then but he felt that he should leave then and not look back. After leaving though, Mikel only knew that one thing was certain. He would have to figure out something to do with his life. One time when he was on Naboo, he ran into one of the Jedi there. The Jedi told him that he had potential to be a Jedi.
And as a Jedi...Edit
Training as Jedi PadawanEdit
Arriving at the temple, Mikel was greeted nicely and later trained by Jed Knight Link Tolen. Training progressed well and Mikel learned at a decent speed until Link decided that he should be promoted and went before the council and Mikel then got promoted to Jedi Knight. Before that happened, though, Mikel fought against the Sith when they tried to besiege the city of Theed.
Years of the Jedi KnighthoodEdit
He was ecstatic when Knighted, and went on any mission he could. That lead him to fight the Sith on many occasions, and to meet one in particular. Almost seemingly a chance meeting, Mikel ran into a Sith Master named Malice Draclau. Mikel did his best to fight against him, protecting a few of his comrades. But Malice was too strong, and almost killed Mikel easily. This caused Mikel to hate him horribly. And he vowed to kill the Sith if it was the last thing he did. A little after that, Mikel went into relative seclusion. But like any good Jedi he returned just a few years later hopefully wiser. His return was to the Jedi Brotherhood, a group that had formed while he was absent. Getting there he helped repel the invasion by the Separatists. He fought the Count, and then Gene Solo. Those battles cost him his right hand and left leg below the knee. But the people there, even as nice as they were, left Mikel with some poor feelings. Several of the Masters there had been Padawans when he was a Knight. After a little time at The Jedi Brotherhood, Mikel returned to his home at the Naboo temple.
He returned just around the time of the Knightfall invasion. This led to another encounter with Malice Draclau, and a new threat. The Yuuzhan Vong leader, Artemis Obauldi, was only defeated by Tantor Aden. But during that battle, Mikel abandoned them in the fight to go after Malice. The battle did not end with Malice's death though. Reports came in that Sky had finished Malice off. Mikel knew that the Sith would not die so easily, and waited for his return. In his mind, the only one that could kill Malice was Mikel. He asked around about Link at the temple at Naboo, but no luck. He participated in the battle at Coruscant, where he saved the Jedi master, Bethany Kismet. He had not seen her in a long time, and could not explain the odd feeling he had when she was around. He would do anything to keep her happy, keep her safe from harm. Realizing that he no longer knew many of the people there, he went back to the Brotherhood. Still he tried to hold on to the light, his Jedi path. But slowly he was starting to drift from it. He continued to go on missions to help out the Brotherhood, and that led to another fateful encounter. He met a Rogue Sith Master, named River Shanshu.
Through her, he learned much about pain. During the aftermath, Mikel stabbed his once valued friend Vohn in the back with a knife. But he put that out of his mind, and life went on as it always did. Soon Mikel was in love, with a Jedi Padawan Isabelle Shiroph. They went on a couple of missions together, both happy just to be around each other. Then she got kidnapped by a Sith, Stephen Meteor. Then the Sith tried to get Mikel to join the Sith, and Mikel gave in to his hatred more than he ever had. After causing the Sith to flee, Mikel went off once again to think. But this time several Jedi and a couple Sith went to try and influence his thoughts. River appeared, and laid claim on Mikel. He accepted, glad to think somebody cared for him. One of the Jedi was Bethany, and he confessed his love for her. She turned him down, and he stabbed himself in the gut. Almost dying, he was saved by Bethany and brought back to the Jedi. That prevented him from leaving with River as he had promised. Then he continued, and his allegiances were tested again by a Sith Mistress known as Athena. He ended up being saved by a fellow Jedi, and taken back to the temple.
While that had happened, River had been captured. Mikel rushed to her, and ended up setting her free. His allegiance was to her, he made that perfectly clear to everyone. A bit later, he was sent on a mission to redeem himself. That was where things went wrong. He ran into a Sith Knight, Thistle. This young, six year old, girl was just the one to seal the fate of the Knight.
Once a Jedi, now a SithEdit
The fall of a Jedi, the rise of a SithEdit
She led him down the path of the dark side, and he went with her to the Dark Sith Order. One of the first things he did as a Sith was to influence, however little his influence was, the Outlaw takeover of Nar Shadaa Before he got much training, he participated in two battles. The Sith invaded Dathomir, where he fought against many of the Jedi from the Brotherhood. His first act was to kill his old lover, Isabelle. After that he fought many other Jedi, as they sought revenge. Somehow he got out of there alive, despite being defeated three times. By around the end of the battle, he was passed out in his ship. Not long after he was defeated, the Sith were forced to retreat from the planet. A sad day, when the Jedi defeated the Sith. The next was Tyferra. Mikel helped in the defense of the planet. After being defeated due to his arrogance in one on one combat, Mikel did his best to hold the capital. And for a while his defenses worked. The Sith even had been able to send out some forces to attack one of the Republic forward command centers. But then the remaining forces dug in, and it turned to a siege. Then the capital was evactuated, as a ship was rammed into it. Despite that, the Sith would regroup and the defense would continue. It didn't take too long for Mikel to run into a raiding group and started to make his way back to where he could regroup with the other Sith. After a long time of fighting, and doing his best to hold off the enemy as greatly as he could, a peace was signed. The planet was divided, much to Mikel's dismay. And then under the teachings of Darth Terace, Mikel hoped to increase his strength. Quickly he grasped the teachings of his Master and was promoted to a Sith Knight.
Once again a Knight, though to a different orderEdit
As a Knight Mikel continued to try and learn everything he could. And he tested his skills often, going against an aging Jedi Master, Siris Nido. That battle did not end with the Jedi's death, which meant that Mikel needed to practice more. He even went so far as to end up helping a Jedi in exchange for copies of some very old documents. But when he went to claim his prize, the Jedi tried to deny his claim. After a masked stranger, Corringath, appeared and quickly dispatched of another Jedi on the scene the three started to fight for the document. It ended quite nicely for him, as he was somehow able to obtain the document from the Jedi before retreating to preven being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the Jedi.
Not much happened for a while, no Apprentices to speak of. Though he was able to get an old friend to join the Sith, Steph Hinata. It didn't even take much, though they both felt as though they had somehow failed the othet before as Jedi. For some reason, she did not want to be trained by him. He could only speculate that it had to do with before. That it had to do with the fact that she thought that she had failed him. Their friendship, of course, was not going to last. Soon she betrayed him, and they both tried to kill each other. During this time, he almost completely trained his first Apprentice. But it was a failed attempt, and soon she joined her mother, Athena, as a rogue. After a lot of nothing happening, Mikel decided it was time for him to go to his small house at Corellia. That would help him get away from the business of being a Sith. But no sooner had he got there, than the Jedi attacked it.
Despite his best efforts, the Jedi took the planet from the Empire and he was forced to retreat. It seemed that he was determined to lose, as there had not been many victories for him. Soon he challenged Malice again, in which he suffered a defeat due to the illusion that was used against him. The Sith Master had somehow looked like River. This lost gave Mikel an insight, he had to go find River. In fact, one could say he needed to be around her. Soon he did, and as normal she inflicted much pain upon him. He did his best to inflict as much pain as he could to her, as that was what she wanted. They both passed out, waking in a hospital. Their next destination was Cato Nemoidia, in which the events ended in their marriage. It was a happy day for Mikel, being with the woman he loved. But he awoke in a hospital again, to realize that his wife didn't remember it.
She had been drugged through the flesh that she had eaten during their short stay on the planet. But he was determined to think that she still loved him, though she knocked him out and left for no apparent reason. After that, he tried to go out and prove himself. While it was mostly for himself, it was also in the hopes that River might notice what he was doing. He even went so far as to try to kill Kyle Solo, of whom he used to be friends with. The battle ended with his defeat, due mostly to his own carelessness. The defeat wasn't the only thing that he suffered, but also he suffered being taken to trial for his crimes.There was little justice to be seen at this trial, and he was once unleashed on an unsuspecting galaxy. Once again, he went to search for River.
This time, though, they met at the ball. Mikel was able to "win" her at the auction and prevent one of the lesser beings from trying anything. The Ball was a rather interesting event, where River seemed to show her love for Mikel. Unlike before, she sought his love and affection. (insert more about the ball). But his duty to the Sith called him back again, and soon he was helping to claim the planet of Coruscant for the Sith Council. After a long battle, the Sith were able to capture the planet and drive away any of the people who would claim the planet for their own. But Mikel didn't actually fight a majority of the battle against the Imperials. He had first gotten captured by some crimelords that he had taken money from. His rescue was by his wife, River Shanshu. After they were reunited, it wasn't long before they had to fight against an enemy. This time, it was the fallen dread lord, Artemis Obauldi. In the course of the battle, one of his lightsabers was crushed by Artemis, who then ran away. The battle was won, but soon Mikel was passed out with River once again leaving him. For Mikel, not much happened in the galaxy. Immediately, he tried to think of a way to reach River again. The only idea he could think of was to trick her, which would mean that he would pretend to be kidnapped. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he realized that his fake prison was a trick. His captors meant to sell River and Mikel, they had captured River when she came to recuse Mikel, and split the money between them.
But Mikel wouldn't allow that, and he was able to free them before anything could happen. The real surprise, though, came afterwards. They went on a date, something that Mikel didn't expect. They walked along the beach, and soon they both went swimming. While they were swimming, River nearly died to be saved by her Knight.
Sith Master ShanshuEdit
It was afterwards that Mikel was told by River that he had been elevated to the rank of Sith Master. Between the time that they got done swimming, and before they left the beach completely, the two shared their love in a more physical way. But he messed up, and revealed that they were married, This seemed to be something that she didn't know, and in her anger she cut off Mikel's arm. Then she walked up the snowy mountain, testing his devotion to her in this way. His pants had been lost to him, which made this journey even worse. The cold ate at him, but it was the pain of knowing that he hurt the one he loved that was worst. But through this test, their love endured, and they even planned another wedding. Something that he thought wouldn't take place, and yet it did. During the course of the wedding, many glorious things happened. Mikel was able to get revenge on Steph, removing her ability to have babies. Of course, he was not the only one to get his revenge. It seemed that everyone that was invited did, unfortunately for Mikel, and he went through yet another beating at the hands of those deemed inferior. The wedding ended, and they were married again. But for now, they would part ways. As a Master, Mikel didn't do a lot for the order. He helped defend the Empire's world, Alderaan, though he proved to be worse to his fellow Sith than the Jedi. He had started to torture an apprentice, and then ended up in a fight with two Knights. If it hadn't been for Peiori's appearance, they might have all killed one another. It wasn't long after that, the Jedi were able to finally get to the planet. This was due to what Mikel would see as the shortcomings of the Empire. But it didn't take long for Mikel to send the invaders packing, though they did not secure the planet for the Sith Council.
There wasn't going to be any rest for him, though, as he found himself part of a team sent to meet up with Artemis Obauldi. The trip turned into a trap, it seemed, when the droids in the hangar of a ship activated and attacked. The small band of Sith fought for their lives, Mikel using this time to strength his own hold over the darkside as he delved deeper and was able to use something he hadn't expected. The Master was able to use force lightning, much to his own surprise. But his happiness wouldn't be shared by all, and once again he ended up fighting with Avicus after the droid threat had subsided. Once more their fight ended without a winner, and everyone parted ways on the failed mission. After all of this, Mikel looked forward to some time to find his wife again. Once again she had seemingly disappeared off the face of the galaxy. Yet he wasn't able to, once again being called to do some buisness for the Order. This time he was sent to Fondor, where he worked with the former DSO member Darth Cazador. Quickly they went to fight the Jedi, soon starting to overwhelm the single Knight they ran into. Caleb did his best to throw them on the defense, however this was short lived. Yet another Sith Master, Peiori Caligga, appeared on the scene to help the already one sided battle. The battle continued for a while, though Mikel sat out the rest of it. After all, Peiori was doing a fine job of handling the Jedi Knight.
The next fight happened on an all too familiar planet, Naboo. By this time, he cared little for the order that he served. Yet somehow he had been able to be talked into going to cause a distraction in the city of Theed. He was supposed to help a group of Sith that were there to cause as much destruction as they could. Then the Jedi would show up, as they did, and the rols of distraction would be played out. Yet it seemed that a ghost of his past would be the one that went after him. Tantor Aden], a Jedi Master and somebody who Mikel had known during his time as a Jedi, was the one dispatched along with a Knight, Steanler. The fight lasted for a while, until Tantor Aden taunted Mikel about his wife, River Shanshu. Those words set Mikel off, and he charged just to meet the end of a lightsaber. If it wasn't for the help of Sophie Maurow, a fellow Sith Master, Mikel would have surely died there. But he didn't, and stmbed away to heal the wounds only to be aided by the same Jedi Knight that had stabbed him.
Of course, he planned on searching for his wife after all of this. Yet once again, he got pulled into another mission for the Council. This time it had to do with a Jedi Master, Kamon Vondiranach who had been fooled and then was knocked out. But it was obvious that the Jedi would come after him, and that was why he was there to plot with several other Sith. Of course, it wouldn't go too well at first, since Steph Hinata was going to be one of the other people there. Not only that, but they almost fought. Mikel had made a comment bout her flat chest, which offended her greatly.
Afterwards, not much seemed to change about the daily life of Mikel. He was sent on missions to disrupt the work of the Jedi, even defending against the assaults that seemed to be completely against what their opponents' code stood for. Another weakening in the galaxy, something that would cause nothing short of a laugh for him. Everything around him was changing, and soon he would get caught in the whirlpool. Once again, Mikel was reduced to looking for his wife, River. This time, however, he ran into the woman who had tried to kill him before.
Lanei Duran, just as beautiful in his eyes as before, seemed intent on ruining their relationship. Not by any normal means, but she found something about Mikel that he hadn't wanted to see. She saw him as somebody that was afraid of River, not somebody that loved her. Words filtered into the back of his mind and stayed there, the quest for River soon ending without anything happening. That was when the Sith decided that they would strike again. This time it was the planet of Glee Anslem that would be their target. Mikel was glad to fight, going against the best of them, while making even more enemies on the Council.
Vohn, Malice, both of them eager to try to kill him. But as he continued to fight, broken and bloodied, it hit him. All of this was pointless. He hated the Council, he hated the darkside, he hated what he had become. Dropping the Sith Artifact that he had taken, the weapon that he had, Mikel returned to his shuttle and left. Without a single word to anyone, he had left the Sith. His travels ended up taking him to the Empire, to meet with somebody he wouldn't have expected. Lady Velori, she welcomed him to join the Crimson Guard. All it would cost was his ability to use the force.
For the Empire!Edit
Crimson Guard, Crimson EliteEdit
A new life, a new way of doing things, it all held such grand prospects. It also held a fear. After all the time as a force user, he wouldn't be able to do any of it. With a few moments of thought, he took the plunge. He would be able to train again, he would quickly realize that he was stronger than ever. In his mind, this was his strength. With that, the Crimson Guard sent him out into the galaxy to further the name of the Empire. First he had gone to the Thyferra, being sent there almost immediately after coming aboard.
They were going to take the planet from the Sith, though that would end up being a venture that led to an alliance instead of a captured planet. An alliance, and Mikel had been sent to secure another one. This time, it was with the family known as the Marzullo. They continued to talk, and then Mikel proposed a longer alliance. The only known way was marriage, something that he hadn't known. But Raine seemed to actually care about him, and soon he happily agreed. It was a happy day, at least until he was supposed to meet the family.
They were split, some of them hating Mikel and others being accepting of their happiness. The marriage would continue, though, and Mikel happily took on the name Marzullo. Either way, the performance of the Crimson Guard in battle had led to another event. Velori led them to battle, but against the very leader of the Empire. Without much hope, they infiltrated the ship that Bill commanded and everyone started to make their way to the crazed leader.
By the end of the fight, Velori had been crowned Empress and he had been given command of the Crimson Guard. That meant he would be given a lot more authority, and a lot more responsibility to make sure that the Empress was safe. To that end, he made sure that he guarded her whenever the Sith sent an emissary, the fact it was Emryc made it a little more difficult. They were allies, however, and Mikel had to plan the attack to make the Guard known. Yinchorr came to mind, and that was where he attacked.
When the time came, the attack was't the success that he had hoped. Everyone played their parts perfectly, but the Jedi had proven to be too much. There was one Jedi in particular, [[Corringath Ventraas]] , that fought him to a complete standstill. This was something that had happened once before, proving to him that he hadn't actually gotten much better since his time as a Jedi. That was a fact that he didn't like, something that pushed him to eventually close himself off from everything for a while. He still did his jobs, but there was something missing in him.
Eventually, he was barely doing his job. Days, weeks, months, were all spent trying to figure out what went wrong. Where had he gone wrong to make it to where he couldn't defeat the same Jedi that had defeated him all those years ago? It became an obsession, trying to find a way to defeat this one man. Perhaps it was in his nature to monofocus. Years had passed by, before something finlly snapped in him. Mikel actually left, just disappeared. There had to be something that he could do.
No answer came to him, until he ran into somebody that actually beat him again. It wasn't the same Jedi, but an old man that spoke of something great in Mikel. This man had looked into his past, and perhaps his future, and had decided that he would help him. The idea of being helped to defeat his rival was something that pushed him to agree, only to figure out that his goals were not the same. It was a year later, and a lot of pain, that the man could feel the Force again. How this had happened, he was not sure.
Perhaps some questions didn't need answers.
The year had mostly been spent doing something he hadn't done in a long time, though. When he had been a Crimson Guard, he had protected key people. He had gone out, he had done things to protect an Empire. For whatever reason, the only thing that this man was getting him to do was mundane things. Ever little thing that he did was something that helped somebody, though. Perhaps it was something to try to make him remember who he was. If that was the case, it was a succees. By the end of it, he had decided that it was time for him to try to become the Jedi that he had once been.
I want to be a Jedi...Edit
Back to your rootsEdit
None of them trusted him, but that was okay.
Mikel took back his old name, his marriage hadn't actually worked out as well as one might have hoped. Mikel Goff sounded better to people anyway. He was willing to work to earn the trust of all those that he had betrayed. It would be a difficult task, but he was up to it. Of course, earning their trust wasn't something that came easily or pain free. His life eventually went back to where he fought against the Sith in their attacks on all-too-many places. Once again, his life became the blur of violence that had eventually led him to the Sith.
This time, though, he was determined to not let it happen.
His life was becoming a cycle of fight, medical care, and more fights. He was protecting people, at least, which made it more worthwhile than he would have thought. The only time when Mikel rethought what he was doing was when he ran into a particularly vicious Sith, Jessan Solo . The words cruel and unusual weren't enough to describe this Twi'lek, she was much worse than any of the others that he had run into. As much as he had hoped to stop her, it hadn't ended that way. Unlike every other fight, this one ended with him being scalped.
Perhaps that was the thing that finally drove him over the edge again.
Mikel was determined to not just protect those that needed saving, but he once again decided that he was going to kill every single Sith. It might have sent him over to the Sith the first time, but the person he went after wouldn't let that happen again. This time, the Sith that he had chosen to go after first had proven to be stronger than him. Perhaps it was caused by his own ineptitude, something about that day causing him to quickly lose the fight. It didn't end with him being disarmed, though, Mikel was killed.
Yet, somehow he didn't stay dead.
His return hadn't been something that had been caused by the Jedi, obviously. Their code, and his own, was all about letting go. No, this was a Sith. Mikel's mind was regressed, back before the actions that had set him off, and several mechanical items had been placed in his clone body. Months went by, the unknowing and unwilling spy was doing just as the Sith had wanted. He was going to meetings, doing the normal Jedi work that would likely get some precious information. Life returned to normal for Mikel, though, and eventually he was able to earn back the trust of all of the Jedi.
Template:Caleb Torran was the only one that didn't trust him. Perhaps he was the smart one, given the events that would soon transpire.
It happened in One HourEdit
When the Jedi weren't fighting Sith, the Empire, or whoever else, they were meant to solve crimes. This was something that brought Mikel to a small planet that would change his life forever. There had been a string of murders, visious killings that seemed familiar. The nagging feeling was set aside, it was likely nothing important, but it kept coming in stronger and stronger. This was something that was similar to somebody who he had once met before.
Karma really was as bad as some people said.
When they came to the final victim, something happened. Mikel remembered it all, or more accurately it all came flooding back. That was the magical thing about repressed memories, they always find a way to make themselves known at the worst possible time. Two personalities vied for control over his one body, the sane Goff losing in the end to the one that had been married to River. Perhaps that was who he was meant to be. When the younger one won out, it was almost as if everything that happened afterward didn't happen. There was no memory of Raine, of the Empire, or of his return to the Jedi. All that he knew was that he was Sith.
One quick attack later, he had taken off a chunk of Kamon Vondiranach's face with a spoon.
Of course, he wasn't prepared for a fight. Mikel was soon stabbed, multiple times, barely being able to get away before he was killed. If it hadn't been for the intervention of another person, he would have died. But some evils just refuse to die, and this was one of them. For him, though, his retreat was only the beginning. Once again, his search for River Shanshu would begin.
Aimless Wanderings of a MonsterEdit
More time went by, Mikel's main focus was trying to find out what had happened to his love. Everywhere he looked, everywhere that he thought she would be, it turned out she wasn't. There wasn't a trace of her, rumor of her, or even rumor of something that could be misinterpreted of her. It was almost as if she had disappeared from the face of the Galaxy, as if she had vanished. That was something that wasn't expected, wanted, or something that could actually be prepared for.

Earlier this week, Oculus temporarily slashed the price of the Oculus + Touch bundle to $399, and now the company has pledged to introduce a permanent price cut after the six-week offer has ended.
Going forward, the virtual reality outfit will be making a similar package available for $499, meaning even those who miss out on the "Summer of Rift" sale will be able to grab a Rift on the cheap.
Join creators of innovative VR, AR, and mixed reality technologies at VRDC Fall 2017. Register by July 26 to save $400.
When it first launched, the Oculus + Touch package cost around $799, but back in March the bundle was repriced at $589, with Oculus keen to make "PC VR as affordable as possible."
It's worth pointing out that the $399 Summer of Rift bundle is slightly different to the soon-to-be-standard $499 option.
For instance, the $499 package doesn't include an Xbox One wireless controller, Rock Band guitar connector, or a remote — all of which are included in the $399 bundle.
That said, it will include six free titles — Lucky's Tale, Medium, Toybox, Quill, Dead and Buried, and Robo Recall — which goes someway to making up for the lack of accessories.
Naturally, the $499 option (pictured below) will also include an Oculus Rift headset, two sensors, a pair of Touch controllers, and all of the necessary cables.

Shreve Lake is a 1.2 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Centerville, Ohio. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking and walking.
kid friendly

Kind of a tough trail to follow. It's stubbly calf-high mown pasture. I enjoyed the many wild flowers and monarch butterflies, but my pre-teen kids hated it. The trail as shown on the map never gets into the woods.

Due to a significant increase in the volume of permanent vacancies, we are keen to hear from experienced recruiters looking for a positive career change. We expect you to proactively develop good relationships with new and existing clients and candidates to the highest professional standards, and embrace our ethos of being the best in a competitive market place.
For more information, please email your CV and covering letter to Susanna Tait (email@example.com)
Tay are a dynamic company where team input, honest hard work and trust are implicit in everything we do. Here are a few success stories from our fantastic team.
Jemma Grimes
Joined Tay Associates in 2013.
"My background is in hospital equipment sales but recruitment appealed to me for some time before I eventually made the move. I'm a people person, and recruitment gives me the opportunity to liaise with people from all different walks of life, allowing me to broaden and build upon my skills.
I love the 'feel good factor' involved with working alongside candidates to find their perfect role at whatever stage they are at in their career, and I enjoy the tenacity and sheer hard work involved in building relationships with clients. And you can't beat the buzz that comes with finding that perfect match.
I'd never worked in recruitment before I came to Tay and I attended several interviews in order to find that 'perfect match'. They dedicated a lot of time to my interview and throughout the process I met all the consultants, and every single one of them displayed a real passion about their roles. All of their responses to my questions were in line and it was immediately obvious they were a strong team who supported each other. Working with people who are driven, and supportive in helping new members grow and achieve their goals, was really important to me – especially as I was new to the industry.
There are highs and lows working in recruitment, but nothing I have felt in my career before compares to the highs. While working on positions or supporting candidates, everyone works as a team to share ideas and come up with new ways we can get the right outcome. Everyone from management to fellow consultants wantS you to achieve, and give you the basis and tools needed to do this without handing you everything on plate. Your good work is always your own, and it's always celebrated.
Tay stands out from the competition because every decision made is in the best interest of our candidates. We put a lot of focus on our candidate care, and all of us are heavily invested in the outcomes of their career search. We spend a lot of time meeting and getting to know our candidates, knowing that it is important to understand not only their skills for the job but their outside interests and their softer skills. Personality is key in a support role and we want to ensure we get it right.
From the day I started at Tay Associates I was encouraged to get straight on the phone, and given opportunities to work on senior roles right away. If I was faced with a challenge I was provided with the details of what I could do about it, but implementing them was down to me. Tay wants you to get you off the ground from the minute you start, and that encouragement has helped me quickly progress as a confident consultant. Now I'm happy I can offer advice with conviction to our new starters."

Easy and Effective All-Natural Homemade Citrus Cleaner
There are so many reasons to make your own cleaning products at home. You can save money, avoid nasty, harmful chemicals, avoid keeping toxic products under the sink if you've got a small child, do less damage to the environment, the list goes on. However, one of the key features of pre-made, store-bought cleaning products is their strong smell. Sometimes it can be very unpleasant and overwhelming, of course, especially if you're not used to them anymore, but if you're not, you might associate that clean, sweet smell of a scented cleaning product with cleanliness itself. And it actually makes sense […]Read more »

BEN WILLIAMS witnessed the famous Sir Alex Ferguson 'hairdryer' at full blast during his days with Manchester United.
But the Hibs keeper revealed boss Pat Fenlon opted for the SILENT treatment to get across his anger at their late 3-2 collapse last week.
Hibs threw away a two-goal lead at home to Motherwell in a worrying run of four defeats in five SPL games.
Fenlon spoke of his disgust at his players' capitulation in midweek but Williams says there were no fireworks at the time.
And the Englishman recalled the day he saw United boss Fergie's fury after a blunder handed Chelsea a goal.
Williams is tight-lipped about the player's identity but it appears to have been fellow keeper Roy Carroll.
Ahead of tomorrow's lunchtime trip to Kilmarnock the former Old Trafford kid said: "I never experienced the 'hairdryer' personally but saw it directed elsewhere. The first time you see it takes you back a bit. I won't say who but it was an away game at Stamford Bridge. It was a tight match we drew 2-2 but a mistake led to Chelsea scoring.
"A true professional will hold their hands up after making a mistake and the player did – but he was still reminded about it!
"Pat Fenlon could have ranted and raved at all of us last week and it would have been justified. But sometimes if you're quiet that can be as effective.
"The fact it came out later in the Press proved that saying nothing was how he wanted to deal with it. It's like we weren't worth his words. Sometimes silence works.
"When you're a manager you put a hell of a lot of work in behind the scenes. And for us to be 2-0 up, to then lose the soft goals we did – I'd be tearing my hair out too."
Another tip Williams picked up at Man United is not to dwell on a defeat – something Ferguson spoke about this week in the legendary gaffer's lecture to the USA's Harvard Business School.
Williams said: "It was drilled into me as a youngster at Old Trafford you put your all in for the game.
"If you make a mistake it's well documented and you get told about it – with the 'hairdryer' treatment or whatever.
"I read about Sir Alex giving a lecture saying it's important you deal with it there and then and put it to bed. Then you get back on the training pitch and prepare for the next game.
"Yes, you rectify the mistakes you've made, which we've been doing. We've done a lot of defensive work in training. But your concentration and focus is on the next game."
Hibs face a crucial four-game spell – including a home game with champions Celtic and an Edinburgh derby – before the winter break and Williams wants Fenlon's side riding high again.
He said: "It's a test of character. But we're a work in progress and if the manager can strengthen in January then we can kick on."

Café cruising
How is cafe cruising like yoga? Apart from a lot of us being addicted to it? Read more. It'll make you feel better about your coffee addictions!
Without fail all the yoga quotees I know are also into their coffee (Missing Bean and what was Zappis being particular local favourites) I too am a bit of a café cruiser. I think my love of cafes started when I set up Yoga Quota and the gaps between classes were perfect for a nice bit of typing and work at a wifi-ed up café. Then it was made an addiction when we practiced under Jericho Coffee Traders in the Yoga Dungeon as we now call it. We would creep upstairs and eat their cinnamon buns on their hessian clad pallet seats. And now that we are above Turl Street Kitchen with fab wifi and dangerously close to the ever popular Missing Bean I don't think there will be a cure.
I've been musing about the similarities with yoga. Mainly to make me feel better for spending so many hours in cafes!
After all Yoga is just a 'path to enlightment' you can go down this physical (hatha) route, or a route of devotion (bhakti similar to devotion to God in Christianity) or a Knowledge route (Jnana). So in the loosest state anything that allows you to focus, study yourself, be dedicated and even meditate can be a form of yoga. My relationship to knitting or playing piano is more like this too(!) but going to a coffee shop to find space in your head is a very very normal way of finding headspace nowadays. And long may it continue.
I've used the 'white noise' app for a yoga practice once too as an experimental class and blog (actually I think we just used the noise from Jericho Coffee Traders mindfully that day!) and it was quite therapeutic.
Now I don't mean to be irreverent to the beautiful tradition of yoga and the deep scriptures. But I do think it is helpful to think of ways that we can 'do yoga' in our life even without 'doing yoga' as the western studios would define it. We'll all get there in the end, just with a different path.

Question by Mr.Ed: Is it smart to use my Roth IRA towards my morgage?
I have a nice down payment I'm putting on my first house, but wondered would it be smart to add in money from my Roth IRA? What is better in the long run. As of now I am planning on living in this house for a long period of time, but everyone knows that can change.
Best answer:
Answer by Steph M
What do you think? Answer below!

qman Said on April 20th, 2011 at 6:51 pm:
No, keep the money in the Roth. If you take it out then you'll have to pay taxes on it including a 10% penalty. It's best to balance your assets so that some of it is in your house and some is in long term investments.
emeraldseye Said on April 20th, 2011 at 7:27 pm:
I wouldn't if I were you…
If you already have a down payment on your house, I'd keep your investments for any unforeseeable need in the future. I understand you want to live in this house for a long time, and you will presumably allow the equity to grow, however with the mortgage industry as bad off as it is now, property values may continue to fall and in 5 years you have something come up and you try to take a HELOC (home equity line of credit) on your house or refinance it, you might find it isn't worth what you paid for it.
Keep the IRA safe, it isn't hurting anyone where it is right now.
newjerseyguy Said on April 20th, 2011 at 7:31 pm:
NO! Your Roth IRA is growing and will be tax-free when you retire and start withdrawing on it. If you pull money out, you will pay penalties. The loss of earning power will not be offset by the mortgage paydown. Remember, you will also be able to deduct your mortgage interest on your tax return.

I just wanted to make a quick post about a sketch that I wrote and directed for a really cool comedy group called Senior Ditch Day.
This post is hastily written and poorly edited. It's something that I constantly struggle with and that I feel like I'll always have to deal with on some level. It's...
I've been playing 5th Edition D&D for almost a year now, and I'm starting to try some Homebrews. This was an early idea I had based on the 3.5 Edition...
I'm a connoisseur of obscure video content. There's something about the mix of nostalgia and weirdness that keeps me coming back.
Iceman Cometh Out! Ok, I'm not the first one to make that joke. But I'm excited, and I like it. Let's breakdown what's happening.

Wooly Beast Candles
Wooly Beast Candles
Burn instructions: - Trim wick each time before lighting. - The first time you burn your candle, you should burn it long enough so that the melt pool extends all the way to the edges of the container which helps keep the candle from tunneling straight down to the bottom when you burn it in the future. All 100% soy wax candles have a slightly mottled look on top which is the nature of natural soy wax and is a part of the aesthetic. - Please remember, candles must be burned away from drafts and on a stable heat resistant surface. Candle care and burning is a responsibility. Keep candles away from children, pets and curtains.
Tattoos + Cutoffs
Portland in the summertime is a plethora of exposed tattoos and cutoff shorts.
Imagine with all that exposed skin in the hot summer sunscreen is needed. So this candle smells like the sunscreen of your childhood, Hawaiian Tropic.
Bearded Man
Picture the smell of a sexy and well-manicured beard and then take that man and have him spend the night in front of a toasty campfire....that's the bearded man. There are notes of cedarwood, amber, musk, and the forest.
Magical Forest
Inspired by the many whimsical and enchanted forests, parks, and woods in Portland. It's amazing that you can find such lush greenery within the city limits. This soap was inspired by the moss, dew-soaked trees, and the fairies, woodland creatures, and trolls that live within them.
Smells like:
Greenery, moss, rain, pine, crisp air, and fairies.
Elegant and Unisex Scent Profile:
A lovely scent, contains predominate notes of rain and moss.

Hawaii Beach Essentials: Featuring Logiix
Our trip to Hawaii was more than I expected! As written in my previous blog, we had such a great time just lounging and digging deep to find our purpose.
Andrew and I love laying by the beach and enjoying the beautiful sounds of the waves! Since we were only in Hawaii for 4 days and on budget, we needed to really take advantage of the time spent so we decided to stay mostly on the beach.
I have put together for you my top 10 essentials to bring to Hawaii for those great beach days!!!
Top 10 items to bring to the beach
1. You will need some awesome towels to lay on - we usually buy big blanket towels that we can use at the beach and also to take home as an awesome souvenir.
2. Music - We love just relaxing by the ocean, we brought along 2 different BT speakers with us by Logiix.
Blue Piston Elements Speaker: With HD sound this dual-function speaker and handsfree device lasts with over 8 hours of play time. With built-in Bluetooth capabilities and an IPX5 weather resistant speaker, you can truly bring your music to life anywhere, and in any weather which was perfect for our trip!. The built-in selfie function will also make your photo taking that much easier. This awesome speaker was great to bring out on our floaters on the water and we weren't afraid of getting it wet! Music on the ocean was the only way to go!
The other speaker we brought was the Blue Piston original BT speaker! This device packs some good sound and bonus it matched the ocean with its beautiful blue finish! It also has a custom HD driver for high quality sound and some super bass and plays up to 8 hours so we had music on the beach going strong too! The quality is amazing too with its durable aluminum housing and wireless speakerphone. We made calls on the beach and the noise reduction also helped as it was pretty loud by the ocean!
3. Water: keeping hydrated is so important and lucky for us we were given awesome reusable bottles from our hotel! so we stocked up on water!
4. Sun protection: bringing sunnies, sunscreen , hats and covers will protect you from the crazy Hawaii heat!!! Lucky for us we got some awesome sunnies from Ro-shambo-baby. These puppies are not only indestructible but they look awesome and are super comfy! Made in Italy and made for babies up to adults, you wont have to worry about stepping or laying on your sunnies ( like I always do)
5. Reading material: we brought our planners, books and magazines to keep us occupied on the beach!!! ABC store has an awesome local magazine which I snagged to read up on all the news in Waikiki!
6. Comfy swim gear: I was lucky enough to get an awesome suit that fit me. I was able to run around and swim freely knowing my suit would stay on securely!
7. Selfie stick: Since Andrew and I would be taking each others photos we took along a selfie stick to the beach so we could take some video and pictures so we both could be in it!
8. Comfy flip flops - we both love Sanuk and the company Reef and these two flip flops were perfect for walking in long distances and keeping our piggies safe from the burning Hawaii sand!
9. Back up battery chargers: we brought along multiple chargers just because we were at the beach for long periods of time with multiple electronics! We brought the new shortie cables by Logiix. These cables are much smaller designed for your back up batteries, quality is still the same, built with ultra slim aluminum connecters, tangle free. we brought the Piston elements back up charger and once again the durability of the charger helped for those wet beach days! Finally we brought along the Piston power 3400 mAh charger with a battery charge time of 3-4 hours. We love the compact design, the aluminum finish matching our piston speaker and shortie cable and of course ... the ocean!
10. Underwater camera/video camera!- we brought our go pro along for the trip to capture all our moments in and off the water! The Go- pro is the best cam around for water sports as it has the best housing while giving you a while angle shot of your scenery!!!
These are our top 10 beach items in order for you to become a beach bum in Hawaii! There is just something about hanging out on the beach, listening to your favortite music and watching the sun set... just magical
So, what are you waiting for? Book your next trip to Hawaii in style!
"You have your brush, you have your colors, you paint your paradise, then in you go"
Love, Ally

As we look back on 30 years of defending homeschool freedom, it evokes poignant memories of family milestones: The moment of realizing that homeschooling was just what a child needed. That exhilarating first day of bravely stepping out on a different path than everyone else. The joy of seeing children learn, grow, and graduate . . . and even start homeschooling their own children.

Large breasts are associated with back and neck pain, skin rashes, carpal tunnel syndrome, degenerative spine disorders, painful bra strap indentations and even anxiety and low self-esteem.
An ESPN writer recently posted.
See, flat-chested gals, I keep saying it; bigger is not necessarily better. Be happy that you can at least do any sports without having to worry about boobs and the problems associated with them! One man's misery is another man's fortune, I know.
It's unfortunate for the women who struggle because their boobs get in the way. I just think that, unless it is causing her health problems, a woman shouldn't worry about what people would say if their breasts bounced up and down while in action. There's a bra for that, anyway (to keep things in place). Kudos to Serena Williams for giving not a single darn about her big boobs — she sure knows how to keep her haters hating! Do your thing, ladies.
McGhee, a senior lecturer at Breast Research Australia, says some girls quit sports when they get boobs: 'They're embarrassed. They don't want to talk about it. And so they stop.' But that is not the fault of boobs. It is the fault of terrible people on the Internet.
I couldn't agree more.

23 June 2004
The Panel has decided to cancel the meeting called under section 32(1) of the Takeovers Act 1993 relating to certain actions taken by the directors of Wrightson Limited which are allegedly defensive tactics. The meeting had been scheduled for 28 June 2004.
The Panel had decided to convene the meeting in response to a formal request from Rural Portfolio Investments Limited. However, after RPI's announcement that it had received the minimum number of acceptances to its partial takeover offer for Wrightson, RPI sought the Panel's permission to withdraw its request for a meeting.
In view of the fact that the meeting was convened in response to a request from RPI and that RPI's offer had reached the minimum acceptance level, the Panel has agreed to RPI's request and cancelled the meeting.

words by Nonie – to the tune of Jingle Bells
Have you ever tried to cross a bridge before you got to it? Wait… don't answer that so quickly.
Have you ever tried to live tomorrow today? Nope… don't answer that either.
Have you ever tried to finish a project before you started it? Hey… I said to stop answering.
See I am asking because I would have to answer yes, if I am being honest, and I bet you would too. No? Really? You think these are silly notions. Okay well, congratulations and you can quit reading now. As for anyone curious enough to keep reading, here's my point: stop trying to cross that bridge you have not even gotten to yet.
Bridges are meant to join two sections of land over an obstacle of some sort. If you are driving, it is physically impossible to cross a bridge before you get to it. Let that sink in a little. Even though we know it is ridiculous to try to drive across a bridge we cannot see, in our "thinking" lives we often try to cross that bridge, that thing (whatever it may be) before we are any where near it. Are you starting to understand the analogy?
We let the premature crossing steal space in our minds. We spend excessive amounts of time worrying and asking: what is coming next, what does the future hold, what if this, what if that, how did we do it last time, how did someone else do it? We either obsess over planning, processing, questioning to the point of insanity (both ours and others around us) OR we get so overwhelmed by the vastness that we just shut down and do nothing (my tendency is the latter). Either way we forget to enjoy today, this hour, this moment, and before we know it time/life/people/health has slipped away from us. Gone. Poof. Bye.
Now the bridge is under us and what do we have? An ulcer? High blood pressure? Anxiety meds? No friends? A cluttered house? A mass of unfinished projects? An extra 30 pounds of fat? All because we tried to cross too early. Often the bridge is not even what we expected or feared. Sometimes we never even get to the bridge. Directions change. Roads diverge. We get rerouted. Thinking too far ahead will leave us confused and frustrated.
Yes plan, dream, hope, but first LIVE in the today. Be present. Be patient. Stop worrying about things too far away to really see. Stop driving yourself and others crazy. Today matters.
The bridge can wait until we get to it.
I will leave you with this thought:
I want to be rich. Rich in love, rich in health, rich in laughter, rich in adventure and rich in knowledge. You?
You can find me in a Book or a Make Up store!

Ohio St. gets stingy, shuts out Akron
Roundup: Auburn makes stunning comeback; Missouri holds on
No. 18 Ohio State 42, Akron 0 -- Box Score
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Starting his first game for Ohio State, quarterback Joe Bauserman ran for a touchdown and threw for three to tight end Jake Stoneburner to lead the No. 18 Buckeyes to a 42-0 win against Akron on Saturday in a sweltering season opener.
Luke Fickell made his head coaching debut for the Buckeyes after being elevated from defensive assistant to take the place of Jim Tressel, shoved out in the wake of an ugly NCAA scandal. Stoneburner became the first Ohio State tight end to catch three TD passes in a game.
Bauserman, starting for the first time since he was a senior in high school in Strasburg, Va., eight years ago, ran for a 15-yard score and threw TD passes of 28, 11 and 2 yards to Stoneburner.
The premise is simple: Five games, in five states, in five days -- from Mobile to College Park -- to kick off NCAA.com's 2011 football coverage. Needless to say, this will be a labor of love for our pigskin fanatics.
No. 1 Oklahoma 47, Tulsa 14 -- Box Score
NORMAN, Okla. -- Landry Jones re-established his connection with All-American receiver Ryan Broyles, Dominique Whaley ran for four scores in his debut and top-ranked Oklahoma beat Tulsa 47-14 Saturday night.
Jones threw for 375 yards, Broyles came up just shy of his own school receptions record with 14 for 158 yards and the Sooners extended the nation's longest home winning streak with their 37th consecutive win on Owen Field. Broyles' 4-yard touchdown catch put Oklahoma up 30-0 with 4:23 left before halftime, and Tulsa never mounted a challenge in Bill Blankenship's first game as head coach.
The Sooners opened at No. 1 for the first time since 2003, and had held the top spot for only two weeks during the past seven seasons.
No. 2 Alabama 48, Kent State 7 -- Box Score
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- AJ McCarron stepped up in Alabama's quarterback race Saturday, throwing for a touchdown and 226 yards as the No. 2 Crimson Tide beat Kent State 48-7. Vying with Phillip Sims to replace Greg McElroy, McCarron had a 24-yard scoring toss to Marquis Maze and finished 14 of 23 passing.
McCarron was hardly perfect, throwing two interceptions. Sims also threw two interceptions -- one that set up Kent State's score -- and finished 7 of 14 for 73 yards.
Starting in place of departed Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson scored three touchdowns and ran for 37 yards.
• CNN.com: Goodwill rolls at 'Bama-Kent State game
No. 4 LSU 40, No. 3 Oregon -- Box Score
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michael Ford ran for two touchdowns and Jarrett Lee admirably directed LSU's offense in place of suspended quarterback Jordan Jefferson in the fourth-ranked Tigers' season-opening 40-27 victory against No. 3 Oregon on Saturday night.
Missing cornerback-punt returner Cliff Harris was too much for Oregon to overcome in a rare season-opening matchup of top-five teams on a neutral field. Lee's touchdown pass came against the freshman defensive back filling in for Harris. And a fill-in punt returner had a fumble that led directly to an LSU touchdown.
LSU converted three of Oregon's four turnovers into 20 points and won its 34th consecutive nonconference game. Oregon, which lost to Auburn in the BCS national championship game last season, has consecutive losses for the first time since they losing its last three regular-season games in 2007.
No. 5 Boise State 35, No. 19 Georgia 21 -- Box Score
ATLANTA -- Kellen Moore and those BCS Busters from Boise State are off and running again, coming into the heart of mighty SEC country to beat up Georgia.
Moore threw for three touchdowns -- giving him 102 in his career -- and the No. 5 Broncos romped past the 19th-ranked Bulldogs 35-21 Saturday night, boosting their hopes of making another run to a major bowl while dealing a huge blow to embattled Georgia coach Mark Richt.
Moore, the nation's top-rated passer last season and expected to be a leading Heisman contender, carved up Georgia's 3-4 defense after a sluggish start. He completed 28 of 34 for 261 yards, with his first scoring pass -- a 17-yarder to freshman Matt Miller -- giving him 100 for his brilliant career.
He had two more before to lead the Broncos to yet another marquee opening victory. In the last three seasons, Boise State has started the season with victories against Oregon, Virginia Tech and now Georgia.
No. 6 Florida State 34, Louisiana-Monroe 0 -- Box Score
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- EJ Manuel threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns and backup quarterback Clint Trickett threw a touchdown pass on his first college play as No. 6 Florida State beat Louisiana-Monroe 34-0 Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Florida State's swarming defense limited ULM to 191 yards and 12 first downs.
ULM got to Florida State's 28 -- its deepest penetration in the game -- in the opening minute of the fourth quarter before quarterback Colton Browning was dropped for a loss on a fourth-and-1. The Warhawks managed to reach Seminole territory just once in the first half reaching the 44 before having to punt.
No. 7 Stanford 57, San Jose State 3 -- Box Score
STANFORD, Calif. -- Andrew Luck threw two touchdowns and ran for another score, leading seventh-ranked Stanford past San Jose State 57-3 in the season opener Saturday.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up completed 17 of 26 passes for 171 yards and looked every bit the player many believe will take home college football's most famous award this season. He connected with seven different receivers and showed no signs of slipping under new coach David Shaw.
Stepfan Taylor ran for 61 yards and two touchdowns and Chris Owusu caught seven passes for 76 yards for the Cardinal, who pounced on their South Bay rival from the start. San Jose State last beat Stanford in 2006, and the Silicon Valley series has been all Cardinal since.
No. 9 Oklahoma State 61, Louisiana-Lafayette 34 -- Box Score
STILLWATER, Okla. -- Joseph Randle rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns, Justin Blackmon had 144 yards receiving and No. 9 Oklahoma State picked up where it left off last season on offense, beating Louisiana-Lafayette 61-34 on Saturday night.
Brandon Weeden completed 24 of 39 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns for Oklahoma State in Todd Monken's debut as the Cowboys' offensive coordinator. Monken replaced Dana Holgorsen, who is now the head coach at West Virginia.
Oklahoma State has won all eight meetings against Louisiana-Lafayette and is 6-1 in season openers under coach Mike Gundy. The Cowboys have won 16 consecutive home openers and are 26-2 all-time against Sun Belt Conference schools.
No. 10 Nebraska 40, Chattanooga 7 -- Box Score
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Taylor Martinez ran for 135 yards and three TDs as the No. 10 Cornhuskers beat Chattanooga 40-7 Saturday in their first game as Big Ten members.
Rex Burkhead added 75 yards and a touchdown as the Cornhuskers won their 26th consecutive opener, the longest streak in the nation. Martinez scored on runs of 7, 43 and 47 yards and completed 11 of 22 passes for 116 yards before giving way to Brion Carnes in the fourth quarter.
The Mocs of the Football Championship Subdivision scored their only points when Marlon Anthony caught a 13-yard pass from B.J. Coleman after cornerback Andrew Green fell. Martinez, who matched his career high with 19 carries, scored his first touchdowns in nine games. It was the fourth time in his 14 career games that he had at least three TD runs.
No. 12 South Carolina 56, East Carolina 37 -- Box Score
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Stephen Garcia came off the bench to run for two touchdowns and throw for another as he rallied the 12th-ranked Gamecocks past East Carolina 56-37 on Saturday night. Marcus Lattimore added 112 yards and three TDs.
Garcia sat the first quarter as South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier started sophomore Connor Shaw. But the Gamecocks fumbled three times, including one by Shaw, and trailed 17-0 before Garcia entered the game. That's when the offense started to click and South Carolina took control of the season opener.
Garcia had a 32-yard touchdown run his first series and when Lattimore finished the Gamecocks next drive with a 4-yard scoring run, South Carolina fans at Bank of America Stadium began chanting Garcia's name in celebration.
Dominique Davis threw for 260 yards and four touchdowns for the Pirates, but when South Carolina wasn't stopping itself, the Pirates had no answers. The Gamecocks outscored ECU 42-13 in second half.
No. 13 Virginia Tech 66, Appalachian State 13 -- Box Score
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- David Wilson ran for 162 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 13 Virginia Tech routed Appalachian State 66-13 on Saturday.
Wilson scored on runs of 20, 19 and 3 yards, and new quarterback Logan Thomas threw the first two touchdown passes of his career as the Hokies won their season opener for the first time in four years. The Mountaineers, one of the powerhouse teams of the Championship Subdivision, came in with a much heralded offense led by quarterback DeAndre Presley. But the Hokies limited Appalachian State to 61 yards in the first half in taking a 38-0 lead.
No. 15 Arkansas 51, Missouri State 7 -- Box Score
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Tyler Wilson threw for 260 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Jarius Wright, Joe Adams tied a Southeastern Conference record with two punt returns for touchdowns and Arkansas defeated Missouri State 51-7 on Saturday.
Wilson, who served as Ryan Mallett's backup the past two seasons, led the Razorbacks to scores in each of his four possessions -- including 33- and 29-yard touchdown strikes to Wright. The junior guided Arkansas to 303 yards of total offense in four possessions.
Adams had only one catch for 11 yards, but the senior returned punts 61 and 78 yards. The returns were the second and third of Adams' career, with his last a 97-yarder against Mississippi last season.
South Florida 23, No. 16 Notre Dame 20 -- Box Score
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Kayvon Webster returned a fumble 96 yards for an early touchdown as South Florida came to Notre Dame for the first time and stunned the 16th-ranked Irish 23-20 Saturday in a game disrupted for hours because of storms. The victory gave Skip Holtz an emotional victory in his return to Notre Dame, where he went to school and his dad Lou led the Irish to their last national title in 1988.
Webster's long return for a score four minutes into the game took all the momentum from the Irish and they couldn't recover. It came after Notre Dame had taken the opening kickoff and drove to the USF 1. What followed was a nightmare first half that included two fumbles, a costly holding penalty that nullified a Cierre Wood TD run and then an interception of Dayne Crist by USF's Devekeyan Lattimore in the end zone that turned the Irish away.
With the fans getting restless as the teams left the field for halftime and lightning flashing near the stadium, officials asked fans to evacuate Notre Dame Stadium and decided to keep the teams in their locker rooms. And they stayed there for 2 hours, 10 minutes. When the Irish finally emerged, they had switched quarterbacks from Crist to Tommy Rees, who'd led them to four straight victories as the starter at the end of last season.
The game was delayed a second time by severe weather with 4:21 to go and after a 43-minute delay, Jerrell Young intercepted Rees -- Notre Dame's fifth turnover of the game. The game lasted 5 hours, 59 minutes.
No. 21 Missouri 17, Miami (Ohio) 6 -- Box Score
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- James Franklin ran for one touchdown and passed for the clinching score in his first career start, helping No. 21 Missouri open with a 17-6 victory against stubborn Miami (Ohio).
E.J. Gaines had an end zone interception for the Tigers, who whipped the RedHawks by 38 points in their final pre-Big 12 tuneup last season but had their struggles on both sides of the ball in 90-degree heat Saturday. Three of their first four possessions ended quickly with punts for an offense that averaged 30 points last season, and Miami of Ohio moved the ball with some success.
Miami (Ohio) entered the opener under new coach Don Treadwell, the former Michigan State offensive coordinator, with a six-game winning streak. The RedHawks trailed 10-6 after Erik Finklea's 10-yard run late in the third quarter.
No. 22 Florida 41, Florida Atlantic 3 -- Box Score
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- John Brantley looked comfortable in Florida's new offense, Chris Rainey scored three different ways and the 22nd-ranked Gators opened the Will Muschamp era by beating Florida Atlantic 41-3.
Brantley completed 21 of 30 passes for 229 yards and a touchdown, showing marked improvement in Charlie Weis' pro-style offense. Rainey touched the ball 18 times, scoring on a 14-yard reception and a 14-yard run. He also scooped a blocked punt and sprinted 22 yards for a score.
Muschamp, admittedly anxious before his Florida debut, enjoyed a relatively stress-free night. Although the Gators ruled defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd ineligible before the game, the only other negative on this night was an injury to versatile Trey Burton.
No. 23 Auburn 42, Utah State 42 -- Box Score
AUBURN, Ala. -- Mike Dyer bulled through the line for a game-saving touchdown with 30 seconds left and defending national champion Auburn escaped with a 42-38 win against Utah State.
The 23rd-ranked Tigers (1-0) scored twice in the final 2:07, just when it seemed like the Aggies (0-1) were poised for a stunning victory.
First-time starter Barrett Trotter hit Philip Lutzenkirchen for a 15-yard touchdown to start a Cam Newton-like comeback. Then wide receiver Emory Blake collected the onside kick to set up the game-winning drive. Trotter completed three passes and Onterio McCalebb had runs of 10 and 14 yards to push the ball near the goal line. Then, national championship game MVP Dyer ducked his head and powered through the Utah State defenders.
No. 25 USC 19, Minnesota 17 -- Box Score
LOS ANGELES -- Robert Woods caught a school-record 17 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns and No. 25 Southern California hung on to spoil Jerry Kill's coaching debut for Minnesota in a 19-17 victory Saturday.
Matt Barkley completed a school-record 34 passes for 304 yards for the Trojans, who still couldn't score in the second half of their 14th consecutive season-opening victory. Freshman quarterback Max Shortell came off the Gophers' bench in the fourth quarter and threw a 12-yard TD pass to Brandon Green with 8:03 to play, but Torin Harris intercepted his pass near midfield with 53 seconds to play.

In 2013, PowerPoint introduced a feature called Smart Guides. This allows users to line up and space photos, shapes, and other design elements perfectly on a slide. In this video, staff author Jess Stratton demonstrates how to use Smart Guides to align, size, and evenly space four photos on a slide.
- [Voiceover] In PowerPoint 2013,…Microsoft introduced a feature called Smart Guides.…This would ensure that you could correctly align photos…and evenly space them apart.…I have four photos on this screen.…I'm going to take these photos and slide them around…and resize them.…Watch what happens as I do this.…As I move this image over to the lefthand side…of the screen, a red-dotted vertical line will appear.…This line is telling me that this image…is perfectly aligned with the one on top…on the lefthand side.…
