Threats to Diana with this build
Hello All, this is my first build here. I main Diana and have a lot of luck with her this season. My current win rate with her is OVER 90%. I'm here to share my build, theories and ideas with what I believe to be the the highest single target AP burst in the game. Leblanc may be the only person to hold a candle to it.
Pros / Cons
Stupidly high single target burst.
Incredible Mobility.
Strong mid/late game.
Ultra fast wave clear.
No existing hard counters. There are people who giver her a hard time, but no one counter her kit.
Very Nice CC mechanic.
When you go into a fight there is no going out. You're an all in champion. If you're lucky you'll have a minion you can ult to if you didn't use both instances of it.
Weak early game. If you're against heavy poke pre-6 it can be a challenge.
Very ult reliant.
If you miss your Q your almost useless.
Q is easy to dodge.
Many people are curious as to why I run AS runes on Diana. Her passive. Late game every third AA can cleave from 400-600 damage. Yes, Cleave. Her passive also gives her a 20% AS boost, add a Nashors on top of that and halfway through your combo you get a passive burst.
I have run many different setups, and I admit that skimping on MR runes is a bit risky, but this one has worked the best for me.
Skill Sequence
When playing as Diana your Q placement makes or breaks you. When you're planning on doing a full combo Throw your q and ult at the same time. If there are no minions in your way use your W. The shield soaks up tons of damage. If the person is running use your E first and either wait for them to flash if it's up or ult again. The beauty of Diana is that A flash is nothing for her. Make sure to pay attention to if it's on CD or not.
A combo that you can use to bring down a hp bar a little is hitting them with your Q then ulting with your W and them running away. Effectively your ult never goes on CD and you can just use your Q again and then finish them.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In episode 22 we chat with John Stratford from New Zealand about being the world's first blind person to run a marathon. In 1965, distance runners had a very different approach to racing in the marathon. Wearing tennis shoes, no water during the race and a 20 mile recovery run the day after was just the way things worked. There are some great stories of how he would train alone, running the streets totally blind and dealing with injuries and attitudes.
I also include some motivational quotations.

Have you ever taken a good look around your workplace? I mean a really critical look, as if you were a highly recruited job candidate deciding if yours is the place you would want to come to every day.
What do you see? OK, you're blind to the eyesores because you pass by them every day, work among them. Heck, you likely caused some of them. They are no longer first impressions, but to you, the only impressions.
The truth is, a shoddy, unkempt, outdated workplace may not only hamper productivity, it's probably driving away good job candidates as well.
Here is a list of common workplace dinginess that might need some TLC. After all, you want both your employees and visitors to get a positive experience from what you call home.
- Cluttered receptionist's desk. A messy lobby desk gives a visitor the impression that your place is complicated; that it's in over its head in something. Keep this area free of paper and folder stacks. There's a sense of efficiency in simplicity.
- Dead or dying plants in the lobby. If you can't take care of them, you don't deserve them. A neglected plant screams neglected employees and neglected customers.
- Mixed-matched chairs. You don't need to be an interior decorator to purchase a half dozen waiting-room chairs that look the same. Piecing various styles together is not avant-garde in a professional setting. It's cheapness. Also important, make sure they're clean. Soiled cushions accented with pet hairs will leave most visitors standing.
- Outdated, beat-up magazines scattered on an end table. A Sports Illustrated issue previewing the NFL playoffs four months after the Super Bowl is a hint that you don't sweat the small stuff, or any stuff for that matter. It's a small detail, but one that does not go unnoticed by a customer, client or job candidate. Is it really hard to keep this assortment current?
- Boxes of nobody-is-sure-what's-inside stored in corners and hallways. As long as you're not tripping over them, what's the harm? You need to find a better home for your storables. Think Dumpster.
- Scuffed walls. There's no escaping it: Walls get scuffed. It worsens with time, but visitors are sensitive to it in the early stages. If you don't repaint on an annual or as-needed basis, your walls will look like a college dorm stairwell on move-out day.
- Path-worn, soiled carpeting. Which way to the break room? Just follow the gray path in the tan carpeting. Tired carpeting is a turn-off. Clean it until it won't hold a cleaning anymore, then replace it.
- Dirty restrooms. Clean them. Every day. Enough said.
- Grimy windows. Your glass should be transparent, not translucent. It doesn't take long for pollen and pollutants on the outside and dust and finger marks on the inside to scum up a window. It's a high-maintenance area that needs strict attention. If your goal is to keep employees from staring out of them rather than working, then leave them alone (the windows, not the employees).
- Missing or damaged ceiling tiles. Like a missing tooth, all it takes is one.

In between presentations at IETA today, I was parched. I haven't had to speak for 3 hours straight in quite a while.
Wandering the hallways of Boise State University's Student Union, I found the fountain pictured below.
It struck me that this could fit any number of metaphors for American education. The one I stuck with:
We've designed a system that will allow you to get what you need and take it with you to last for a long time before needing to refuel. It's better on the system and more sustainable. That system also has a component that requires you to be present to take advantage of it, wastes resources as you use it and can be a breeding ground for the opposite effects of its intent. Rather than working to push the system to evolve toward the former purpose, we're throwing all of our resources into supporting both approaches at the same time, never fully committing to requiring users to do the better thing.
What metaphor does the image inspire in you?

Pregnant mom wandered into the yard of animal lovers, who took her in along with her newborn puppies. Only two, Apollo and Dozer are still looking for homes.
Apollo is an active pup and loves playing with mom and his brother. He is an explorer and likesto venture around the yard with mom to see what the world is all about. He roams the land! Inside, he sneaks out of the designated puppy area and explores the house! But when a human calls his name, he tucks tail and returns to his puppy spot.
Apollo is lovable and adores being held. He leans in close to you when being held so you can appreciate what joy it brings him! If you meet him, you will see what joy he can bring you!!!
Apollo and Dozer are not at the shelter so contact us for an appointment if you want to meet these little cuties.
This animal has been lucky enough to be adopted into a loving home! Please help us find homes for the others by contributing in any of these ways.

"MY EAR HURTS! IT HURTS SO MUCH!" Screamed Isaac in the middle of the night, waking up Eloise and me.
Eloise had a checkup this morning, where we learned she has a nasty rash that needs meds, and Isaac's ear infection is caused by allergies probably and needs antibiotics. Eloise also is now on allergy stuff to combat the month of snotty nose. Eloise got four shots. We waited hours at the base pharmacy. Eloise fell asleep and peed through her diaper. Isaac freaked out about taking medicine. Eloise smashed her head during our long wait. We ran out of snacks as our visit stretched past lunchtime. A cold front blew through so we were underdressed for the rainy 30 degree temperature dip.
Back at home we settled down for cozy naps. Eloise woke up and helped me do dishes, happily standing on her stool munching banana chips. She slipped, no big deal—until she gasped and inhaled her chip. She gagged, spluttered, gagged, turned purple in my arms.
This is where I call 911! I thought. No time! Baby heimlich! After maybe 15 seconds of that (which felt like no time and also like hours) she started crying. I held her close. Eyes streaming, gagging, retching, red instead of purple, still retching. She vomited all over us. Thankfully. She's ok. She barfed a few times, then smiled. Relief. And…Bath time.
I took a poopy diaper outside and found the storm had blown our gate inside out and it will no longer open. Of course it did.
After a peaceful dinner I took the barfy clothes to the basement. Which had two inches of standing water in it. The sump pump, which we had someone come fix in October, did not turn on.
I put Eloise to bed and invited Isaac to join me in the basement. He loved that. His presence helped me be brave and slosh through the muck (I SO deserve these gorgeous teal Hunter boots) and—get this—reach a hand into the opaque, cold, dark waters of the sump drain. If that doesn't strike fear in your heart…then you must not be terribly afraid of dark, deep water you can't see into, like I am.
Here I'd like to point out a few ironies. First, we really have had good attitudes all day. Considering. Not perfect attitudes, but not attitudes of being overwhelmed or in despair. So it just kept coming I guess. Second, one of the toilets clogged right after both my kids pooped. Next time anyone asks "what do you do?" I should tell them "I'm in Shit Management," I giggled to myself, before telling Isaac and Eloise to step back and watch a master toilet unclogger at work. Third: friends, Unclogging toilets is an unfortunate talent of mine. I am the master unclogger in this house. I have the touch. Call me if you're in a jam.
And now there's this questionable water in the basement to deal with. Shit Management, indeed. Anyway, so with a good attitude and much bravery, I squeezed behind the washing machine, balanced atop cinder blocks, and extended my arm deep into the dark, murky water of the sump hole. The sump pump has a float switch, which clearly doesn't work, but it responded to my blind prodding by jumping into action. The drain tube whipped around, unleashed from its moorings, spraying nasty basement water all over me and geysering a fountain like a firehouse across the basement. Isaac stared at me stunned. I jumped back, cursing and dripping.
Now, two hours later, the plumber just left. I think I still have a good attitude, but it was iffy there while I was soggy with a pile of barfy laundry and a basement geyser mocking me.
Really, I know we have a lot to be thankful for: Isaac's quick treatment, Eloise's triumph over choking hazards, Megan had asked offered to make enough dinner to run a plate over to me even before I was having a crappy day.
But my good attitude is about ready to move out of this house. At least no one got stung by a dang yellow jacket today! But really, it's only a matter of time.
Did I mention my attitude: good.

Canada to Enter Online Poker Arena?
By Scott Carlson, Rakeback.com Staff Writer
It appears the Canadian government is looking into expanding their gaming operations on the internet, including poker. Back in July the British Columbia Lottery Commission (BCLC) opened Playnow.com, a web site where residents of British Columbia can play the lottery, bingo, casino games and even place bets on sporting events. This marked the first jurisdiction in North America to offer online casino games.
A Toronto Sun article published today indicated that other Canadian provinces are looking into adding online casino games and possibly poker in the near future. The provincial governments are looking at online gaming as a potential new source of revenue. According to H2 Gambling Capital, online poker alone generated $4.8 billion in annual revenue.
PokerStars initially opened up operations on Canadian soil on the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve in Quebec before moving to the Isle of Man. Additionally, according to Calvin Ayre, the technology companies that created Bodog were originated in Vancouver, British Columbia. It appears that the knowledge base to operate a successful online poker company are already in place. The next step is to construct a plan for online poker in Canada.
It will be interesting to follow the progress of the Canadian provincial lottery commissions to see if they opt to open their own operations or if they attempt to go the route of HR 2267 in the United States and act as regulators of online gaming operations.

Boris Johnson is to begin training for a tennis match with a former ally of Vladimir Putin as he said Britain must not "bash" rich Russians who are not "buddies" of the Russian president.
Mr Johnson defended the Prime Minister's decision to play tennis with the wife of Vladimir Chernukhin after the Conservatives said they will keep a £160,000 donation raised a dinner.
Lubov Chernukhin, the wife of the former member of President Putin's government in the early part of the last decade, paid for the match at an auction at a party fundraiser this year.
Mr Cameron said he would not accept money from a "Putin crony" but Mrs Chernukhin's husband Vladimir "certainly wasn't that".
Mr Johnson said that sanctions must only be paced on people who "really count" to Vladmir Putin, not just "anybody who happens to speak Russian."
Asked if he would be playing with or against the Prime Minister in the upcoming match Mr Johnson said: "We'll have to see about that – possibly both at the same time."
The Mayor of London told LBC Radio: "I've got to get ready for it, I've got to get in training, but it doesn't seem to be on the immediate agenda.
"I want to make a very serious point about this – we have got to target the people who really count in Vladimir Putin's immediate entourage, in his regime – the people who are his cronies.
"That's sensible and people say this will affect London, it will do damage – I don't believe it will, because what people will see is a city that knows the difference between right and wrong .
He added: "I think it is to the credit of Britain and to London that we are able to do these difficult things – I would stress, obviously, this is not the context for a general lashing out against all Russians everywhere r anybody who happens to speak Russian.
"This is a city that welcomes people from all around the world and there are many Russian's here in London who are by no means buddies of Vladimir Putin."
Earlier Mr Johnson had said that he would pull out of the tennis match if the donor turned out to be a Putin "crony".
He told Sky News: "I think we've got to do something that actually hits Putin and his government where it hurts and make a real difference to their attitude.
"I know about this tennis match, they volunteered me to play tennis with some geezer and it's very, very important that full checks are carried out to ensure this is not someone who is an intimate of Putin or a crony and we are doing that at the moment."
The party declined to say when the tennis match will take place. A source said the party was not going to give a "running commentary".
Labour later attacked the Conservatives for using Foreign Office as a "private investigator" to vet possibly cronies, such as Mr Chernukhin. Mr Johnson said he and his party were relying on the FCO to give them information on the background of Mr Chernukhin.
Chris Bryant, the Labour MP said: "David Cameron suggested the Tory Party were doing proper background checks on these Russian donors, but now it's clear they've done nothing of the kind. This is deeply inappropriate.
"There are real questions here about why government resources have been diverted to do the Tory Party's work for them.
"The Foreign Office is not meant to be the Tory Party's private investigator. Why isn't the Conservative Party doing its own checking? How many civil servants, diplomats and secret service staff have been asked to check up on Cameron's donors?"

Have you heard it takes 21 days to create a habit? Tons of books state that it takes 21 days to create a new habit, but is that really true? It turns out to be a bit of an urban myth. It actually takes on average 66 days to form a new habit. The range, though, is 18 to 254 days Lally et al. (2009).
What does this mean for you as a teacher?
What routines would you like to have for yourself? Would you like to take a daily walk during lunch time? Would you like to correct all of your papers every day before you go home? Do you want to start a new program with your students?
One simple thing I wanted to do this year was drink more water when I was at work. I realized that many days the bell would ring, the kids would go home and I had not drunk any water all day! Somehow, I just didn't think about it.
To help me change this habit (a very easy habit to change, you will see looking at the graph), I made sure that my environment would support me. I bought a beautiful green water bottle. Then I enlisted the help of other people. I had a few students be my water monitors. (These were kids that needed a few stretch breaks during the day). They could go and fill up my water bottle whenever it was halfway full. They were happy to remind me to drink water, because it meant that they would get to walk and fill up the water bottle! I was able to successfully create this as a new habit over the course of a few months.
Here is a picture from PsyBlog that shows how long it takes for habits to form.
If you know that it is going to take you about three months to form a habit (3 months x 20 work days), you are going to have more realistic expectations of yourself. What supports do you need to put in place to help you do something for those three months, till the activity becomes automatic? Would it help you to make a chart to track your progress, have a fellow teacher who you work with etc.?

Archangel (1990) is the second feature film directed by Guy Maddin. The film fictionalizes, in a general sense, historical conflict related to the Bolshevik Revolution occurring in the Arkhangelsk (Archangel) region of Russia, a basic concept presented to Maddin by John Harvie.[1] The film marks Maddin's first formal collaboration with co-screenwriter George Toles.
Maddin shot Archangel in black and white, on 16 mm film, on a budget of $430,000.[2] Maddin modeled the film on the style of a part-talkie, an early cinema genre. The "basic situation" of the film's story was "suggested by Henry Green's 1946 novel Back."[3]
Archangel is set in 1919 in the northern Russian area of Archangel, during a brief historical moment of Canadian intervention in the Bolshevik Revolution following the end of World War I. One-legged Canadian soldier Lt. John Boles sighs on the rail of a steamship over the ashes of his dead lover Iris. An officer mistakes Iris' urn for a bottle of liquor and throws it overboard into the sea. A narrator then delivers a sermon on the glories of Love and the horrors of Self-Love/Pride and how it forms the roots of War. (Maddin's daughter Jilian makes a cameo here as a young Cossack girl who orders the execution of a young boy.)[4]
Boles arrives in the town of Archangel as an Allied troop and billets with a local family consisting of a brave son, Geza, a cowardly father, Jannings, and mother Danchuk (who is immediately smitten with Boles) and a grandmother simply called "Baba" along with a seemingly nameless baby. Geza has a seizure as Boles arrives but Boles treats him by scrubbing the boy's torso with horsehair brushes. He then prescribes Geza horsehair to eat (to cure worms) and other folk remedies, while scoffing at the folk remedies Baba offers. Veronkha enters and Boles spies her in a mirror and faints, so affected by her resemblance to his lost love Iris. After reviving, Boles remains convinced that Veronkha in fact is Iris, forgetting that Iris has died. As coincidence would have it, Veronkha's husband Philbin also suffers amnesia, and has forgotten that he is married to Veronkha.
Boles dresses up in full regalia and Geza admires his medals, for which Danchuk decides he should be punished. Jannings is too cowardly to flog the boy, so Boles steps in to whip Geza, which makes Geza admire Boles further. The citizenry of Archangel next participates in staging various battle tableaux, posing as victorious over the Huns while a narrator provides commentary on their bravery. Soon after, a real battle takes place, after which Boles and Danchuk travel over a field of corpses that they discover are mostly just resting. However, they do raise one grave marker for a single dead soldier. Boles next follows Veronkha, hoping to learn where she lives, but instead she goes to meet with Philbin's doctor and is hypnotized so that she can recount her wedding night, during which Philbin first forgets their marriage and Veronkha finds him having sex with the front-desk girl. The doctor mentions a rumour that Veronkha has had a child and Boles somehow jumps to the conclusion that the child is his (belonging to him and Iris, who he still believes Veronkha to be) and confuses Danchuk's baby as this child, heading back to his billet to console said baby.
Boles sets out to find Veronkha's home yet again, following a treasure map that is also her marriage certificate to Philbin. The dreamlike trek ends in failure. Next another battle begins, prefaced by a flood of rabbits into the "sleepy trenches" where the soldiers have all but fallen asleep. At the last minute they realize that the rabbits have been fleeing the Bolsheviks and an attack is upon them. Some Bolsheviks break into the family's home and threaten Geza after eviscerating Jannings. However, in a final act of bravery, Jannings strangles them with his own intestines. Unfortunately, Geza's head has been covered with a burlap sack and even as his father dies a hero Geza believes him to have died a coward, believing he's been saved by Philbin.
Veronkha decides to renew her marriage to Philbin after annulling her first marriage, and they fly back to the Murmansk Hotel to repeat their honeymoon. Boles follows, and Veronkha mistakes Boles for Philbin, confessing a false love for Boles to Boles thinking she will is making Philbin jealous. Veronkha is so shocked when she discovers that Boles isn't Philbin that she develops amnesia as well. Boles takes this opportunity to try to convince Veronkha that she is Iris. Veronkha disappears, and Boles follows the marriage certificate/treasure map again to find her, and does. They reunite gloriously, until Veronkha sees Philbin and remembers who she is, then rejects Boles and threatens to kill him if he touches her again. Boles, dismayed, heads back to the war, although first he begs Danchuk to take car of "his" baby (actually, already hers) if anything should happen to him.
Geza is killed in this battle, his ghost reunited with the ghost of his father and finally realizing that his father died a hero, saving him. Boles launches a final assault and is injured by a grenade marked "Gott straffe Kanada" ["God punish Canada"], staggering through the same treasure map route that previously took him to Veronkha—this time he arrives at the scene of her marriage (again) to Philbin. Boles then leaves Archangel to return home to Canada, destroyed.

Archangel premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and was released to home video on a three-film disc titled The Guy Maddin Collection, which also includes Maddin's short film The Heart of the World and his feature film Twilight of the Ice Nymphs.[5] Archangel is also included on the DVD boxed set The Quintessential Guy Maddin: 5 Films from the Heart of Winnipeg, released by Zeitgeist Video, alongside Careful, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, and Cowards Bend the Knee.[6]
In Spring 2008, the Winnipeg Film Group restored the film and struck four new 35 mm film prints in order to re-present the film around the world. This restoration process removes some inter-titles and colour tinting that had been introduced by Maddin for the DVD release.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
The film received generally positive reviews, with review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reporting a 75% approval rating based on 8 reviews.[8]
Film critic J. Hoberman praised the film, and noted that such stylistic approaches were typical of Maddin's growing body of work: "Maddin's most distinctive trait is an uncanny ability to exhume and redeploy forgotten cinematic conventions."[9] Jonathan Rosenbaum noted that the film was "alternately creepy and beautiful."[10]
In 1991, Archangel was awarded Best Experimental Film by the National Society of Film Critics.

This week on the TBRPodcast we got to meet Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant of Sterling and Stone. I've read a number of their genre-bending books (The Dream Engine, Fat Vampire, Unicorn Western, Author Dad, Yesterday's Gone season 1, Write, Publish, Repeat), and they've been a great inspiration.
It was a blast to chat books with them, and specifically about the Books That Defined Us. So many great books mentioned in a short time. No surprise on the ones I mentioned, because I've talked about all of them before.
I finished Whole Earth Discipline by Stewart Brand and can't recommend it enough.
Whether you consider yourself an environmentalist or not, there's a ton to learn in this book, so that you can at least object to some of the technologies that he contends should be used carefully, in concert, to stave off the worst case impact of global warming. He cares so much about our planet that he's been willing to change his views, looking at the ultimate good over what might be some relatively smaller "evils," if they're evils at all. Greens need to embrace and direct science toward the collective good, rather than stonewalling certain areas based more on theoretical fear, and disregarding the very real ticking time bomb of climate change.
Read this book. And thanks again Hugh Howey for the recommendation.
And it inspired me to start checking out some science magazines from the library. My wife and I have always been interested in that kind of thing, but got away from it for a long time. Now it's fun to chat about it together, and with our boys. Today I learned a bit about studies on actual brain changes that happen as a result of meditation, from November's Scientific American.
I'm about 2/3 of the way through Out of Darkness by K. Caffee, Book I of Followers of Torments. Lots of arena combat, and now post-arena adjustment for a man who has never known anything else.
Yes, if you happen to buy one of these from Amazon based on my recommendation links, they'll throw a few cents my way as a thank you. Or go get the book out of the library (I love my library), buy it in a used bookstore, or borrow it from a friend. If it catches your eye, you'll find a way.

Preview: 2013 Copper Bowl
|Michigan vs Kansas State
|Sun Devil Stadium
Tempe, Arizona
|10:15 PM Eastern
December 28th, 2013
|Kansas State –5.5
|Cloudy, 60 dropping to 50, no wind, no rain
What if they played a bowl game in Arizona that kept moving and changing its name every other year? What if your team was in it? What if it was scheduled to end around 2 AM? I don't know, man. Let's find out.
Run Offense vs Kansas State
Remember Brennan Clay? He is good to have against Kansas State.
With Devin Gardner out, about which more later, this is where Michigan will have to make their hay. The bad news: Michigan's running game. The good news: Kansas State seems like a pretty bad rushing defense. Both of Football Outsiders' advanced stats think they're around 50th overall, which is not good in metrics that try to adjust for schedule strength. The Wildcat rush defense is particularly ugly at around 80th. Neither of these metrics know that NDSU went for 215 yards on 43 carries in the opener, either.
After that, things alternated between bad (177 yards on 40 carries for ULL) to real bad (227 on 47 for Texas) to actually okay (85 on 25 for Oklahoma State, albeit while Okie State was tearing KSU to shreds in the air) to a middling four game stretch before getting annihilated by Oklahoma (301 on 52). They did smother Kansas. Hooray.
Michigan is a rushing offense that could get smothered by anyone, but they have had two decent performances in their last three games and you'd hope that 18 bowl practices would help them figure some things out and get healthy; youth should improve faster than age, and Michigan's featuring almost entirely youth in its rushing core, which features two senior tackles and Fitzgerald Toussaint against, five freshmen (Smith, Green, Butt, Bosch, Kalis) and three sophomores (Glasgow, Kerridge, Williams). The figuring it out thing may be happening, at least to the tune of having something not heart-maulingly awful.
Excuse me.
/rends flesh with hairshirt
Anyway. Kansas State's straight metrics are flattered by the prevalence of spread passing attacks in the Big 12; when they've come up against decent rushing offenses they've been hit hard. Michigan can make a case they've ratcheted themselves up to that level by nearing 200 yards. I have no idea if this is at all in the realm of possibility.
Key Matchup: Seriously, 2013, I hate you.

McGary To Undergo Back Surgery, Out Indefinitely
Get used to this, unfortunately. (Photo: Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog)
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH (via U-M Media Relations, emphasis mine):
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Friday, Dec. 27), that sophomore forward Mitch McGary (Chesterton, Ind./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) will be out indefinitely after electing to have a surgery performed on his lower back. There is no timetable for McGary's return; however, the medical staff expects him to make a full recovery.
"My back problems have been a daily challenge ever since late August," said McGary. "We have worked hard rehabbing the injury and I thought that everything was proceeding in the right direction until the last two weeks. I have consulted with my family, my coaches and our doctors and decided the best option now is to have surgery. This was a difficult decision to make because I want to be out there with my teammates. At the same time, I need to be healthy to give everything I can on the court and help my team."
"We want Mitch to be 100 percent healthy again," said Beilein. "He has worked very hard over the last few months and during his earlier rehab. He was making progress in practice and games; however, lately he began to experience the same pain he had when we held him out of preseason practice this fall. Our first priority is Mitch's overall health even though I am certain he would rather be back on the court right now."
The timing couldn't be much worse with Big Ten season just around the corner. I'm no doctor (paging Heiko...) but I'm guessing Michigan will be lucky if McGary is back at anything close to full strength by postseason play.
UPDATE: More details, more despair:
John Beilein says Mitch McGary's indefinite absence could last entire season. McGary has not undergone surgery. Potentially coming next week
— Brendan F. Quinn (@BFQuinn) December 27, 2013
And the potential silver lining:
Just talked to a couple NBA guys -- both echoed same sentiment with McGary. With back issues and way be plays, could fall out of 1st round.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) December 27, 2013
It appears the best thing that could come out of this is McGary coming back for his junior year; that's not much consolation if this is a lost season for him, as is appears it will be.
Fee Fi Foe Film: Kansas State
Tyler Lockett is a rather frustrating assignment (via)
We're back! I'm here to tell you, after watching Kansas State's 41-31 loss to Oklahoma, that Michigan's upcoming bowl opponent is very bad at defending mobile quarterbacks, which is a great sign for... wait, say that again?
Well, the Sooners pulled away in the second half of this game on the strength of a 200-yard rushing performance from RB Brennan Clay and another 82 yards on the ground from backup quarterback Trevor Knight, who filled in admirably for injured starter Blake Bell and is quite a bit faster than Shane Morris. The Wildcats, on the other hand, couldn't establish anything on the ground, tallying 66 yards on 19 carries (sacks removed) while playing from behind for most of the contest. Is any of this relevant to Michigan? I have no idea! Let's talk about it anyway.
Spread, Pro-Style, or Hybrid? Spread. It's possible that KSU is closer to a hybrid, as they did show some I-form looks and utilize a fullback even in some shotgun formations, but in this game they were almost exclusively in the gun and utilized plenty of spread concepts.
Basketball on Grass or MANBALL? This game didn't provide a great look at KSU's run game; when they did, they mixed in a healthy amount of zone read with more traditional power runs, a couple end-arounds, and far less of the misdirection-type stuff Brian pointed out in his early look at the Wildcats—likely due to circumstance more than a change in philosophy.
Hurry it up or grind it out? Grind it out. The home crowd at Kansas State spent much of the game counting down the final ticks of the play clock to help out their quarterbacks; they take their sweet time between plays, and given how Michigan has fared against high-tempo offenses this year that's fine by me.
Quarterback Dilithium Level (Scale: 1 [Navarre] to 10 [Denard]): Bill Snyder has utilized a two-quarterback system for much of the season; like Northwestern's Colter/Siemian duo, the Wildcats feature a pocket passer, Jake Waters, and a run-first threat, Daniel Sams. Waters is more mobile than Siemian and is utilized in the read-option game, though mostly as a means to keep the defense honest—he's not particularly fast or elusive, so I'll give him a 4. Sams, on the other hand, rushed 148 times at 5.2 ypc against just 52 pass attempts; he gets a strong 8, with the caveat that he barely featured in this particular game.
[Hit THE JUMP for the rest of the breakdown.]
The Time of Shane is Upon Us
Per Hoke's press conference this morning, Shane Morris will start the Copper Bowl in place of Devin Gardner, whose fourth metatarsal finally fell off after hanging precariously from a piece of torn cloth that was being used to hold together what remained of his last rib. Or, you know. Per people on twitter Gardner broke his foot against OSU, then kept playing. Add to the list of people who should never have to pay for beer within 4 miles of Ann Arbor the rest of his life (once he's eligible to have beers bought for him).
In the recent practice report video are guys talking about Morris; you can take Jehu Chesson:
"He does a good job, you know, reading the defense, you know, getting the ball to us. A lot of people talk about his arm; he has a good arm, great arm, um, uh, [shakes head]. The other people talk about does he throw the ball too hard. You know, with Shane, whenever he's going to be in the game, or when he's in the game or what, he's going to make the right throws at the right time and the right decisions because that's what a Michigan quarterback is expected to do."
…and Taylor Lewan:
"He has the potential to be an extremely good player. [Thing about lefty QB means Lewan is no longer blind side]. I think given the opportunity, and if he stays confident and all those things, he's going to be very successful."
…at their words. Or you can read between lines and use your expertise from watching Lie to Me to discern panicky things from Jehu's microexpressions. Being a negative nancy blogger I shall of course do the latter.
Also in that video the starting linebackers are both practicing, so there's that at least.

The final days before national signing day on Feb. 6 are sure to include a few surprises and curveballs between today and Wednesday, and one of those surprises came from the nation's top player, Robert Nkemdiche (Loganville, Ga., Grayson) when he sent out this tweet:
It was reported earlier this week that the 6-5 278-pound defensive end was going to cancel a weekend visit to LSU after visiting Ole Miss last weekend, but this time of year it's hard to believe anything until the player signs his name on the dotted line.
Ole Miss has been rumored to be the favorite for Nkemdiche ever since he decommitted from Clemson last fall and with his older brother Denzel leading the team in tackles last season, the opportunity to play with his brother appeared to have won over Robert and the Nkemdiche family.
The visit to LSU could be a sign that Nkemdiche wanted to pursue all of his options and his parents were pressuring him to commit to Ole Miss. Heading to LSU may be an opportunity to fortify his decision that Ole Miss is indeed that place where he needs to be the next three-four years, and doesn't necessarily indicate any wavering in his decision.
If I was in Nkemdiche's position I would take all the visits that were allowed and soak up the experience, because you can only be the No. 1 ranked recruit in the nation once in your life. After he announces his decision to the world on Wednesday, all the glitz and glamour that accompany these visits become a memory, so why not make as many as you can, when you can.
From the LSU perspective, getting Nkemdiche on campus is a minor victory and Les Miles and his staff can give him their best sales pitch with days before national signing day. Perhaps Nkemdiche is blown away by the visit and has those memories lingering in his head as he prepares to announce his decision at 7:30 am on Wednesday, and shocks the world by donning a purple and gold Tigers hat.
That certainly would send shock waves through the Ole Miss community, but I think it's a long shot scenario and I still expect Nkemdiche to be with Hugh Freeze in Oxford next season.

Are you one of those men who posts ads online looking for sex but get frustrated from the lack of response? Or maybe you send out dozens of replies to women's ads and can't figure out why you never get a reply. Well I'm no expert, but I do have to admit that I've done my share of online "shopping" for a random night of wild sex. And obviously I can't speak for ALL women, but I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for when the urge hits, and I'd like to share my thoughts with you from a woman's perspective. If it helps even one sex-seeking get laid… well I guess that's all I could hope for.
As a somewhat attractive, relatively sane female, I get dozens and sometimes hundreds of replies whenever I post an ad. I would say that 90% of the replies are the same. A cock pic, a lie about how big he is, and something about how great he is in bed and how many times he can make a woman cum. So the first, and in MY opinion, the most important thing you need to realize is that you have to be DIFFERENT than 90% of the other men who reply. I don't want to reply to dozens and dozens of mediocre ads trying to find more details about the guy. It's a waste of time. So how do I narrow it down? That's easy… I start by DELETING every response that follows the above pattern. Chances are, if you sent a response like that, you were never even in the running for consideration.
Now that I've weeded out 90% of the candidates based on what I'm NOT looking for, it's time to start narrowing down the ones I actually pay attention to. I know it's just a night of hot meaningless sex, but personality does matter. If you want to be considered, let your personality show right from the first email. Make it stand out. Are you funny and like to make a girl laugh? Maybe you're an intellectual, or even a romantic. Without spelling it all out in the reply, make it obvious what you're all about. For me personally, I have a quite long list of things I DON'T like or things that turn me off, but when I get a reply that's quirky, off-the-wall, or just plain makes me laugh inside (or out!), it goes right to the top of my list. It lets me know that the guy doesn't take himself too seriously and that I'll be able to just relax and enjoy myself.
The pictures that you send also go a long way. When you think about it from the woman's point of view… a cock is a cock is a cock. Unless she is specifically looking for a 10 dick and you happen to have a true 10 inches, a woman is NOT going to pick you out of the throng of emails based on your dick… guaranteed. What matters is what's attached to your tool, so send a pic that shows the rest of the package. It's completely understandable that you might not want to be sending your face out to every ad you reply to, and it's okay to catch her attention with your words first and say that you'll send a face pic once you know it has a chance of progressing further. But forget the faceless cock pic. If you aren't going to send a photo that reflects a little bit of who you are, it's better to not send a photo at all.

Fashion Industry of Pakistan could earn huge foreign exchange for the country as it has the potential to get huge share in the international fashion market worth billions of dollars. This was crux of the speeches delivered by the LCCI Senior Vice President Amjad Ali Jawa, Vice President Muhammad Nasir Hameed Khan, Convener LCCI Standing Committee on Fashion & Clothing Talat Hafeez and other experts while speaking at the seminar "The Role of Fashion Industry in the Economic Growth of Pakistan" here at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Shahid Nazir, Khawaja Waqar Ahmed, Sadaf Fawad Khan, Dr. Farrah Arif, Mohsin Nasir Jat, Asad Imtiaz, Sajid Saleem Minhas, Sultan Salahuddin, Rima Farid also spoke on the occasion.
The LCCI Senior Vice President Amjad Ali Jawa and Vice President Muhammad Nasir Hameed Khan said that Pakistan's Fashion designing and clothing industry has become an important dimension for national economy because of its export potential. They said that policy corridors should realize its significance in view of its huge potential for future expansion and give all possible facilities.
They said that Pakistan could win international market through branding therefore entrepreneurs from Fashion industry should introduce their own brands to gain trust of the international consumers.

Oh what a feeling!
By Mr. Brown on
Vehicle2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner V6 4dr Access Cab 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewI used to have a '93 Toyota pickup, 5 spd manual with the 22RE engine that I loved. Put 24k miles on my '08 so far and no major complaints. The SR5 4.0L V6 has more than ample power. Roomy interior. Gated automatic shift lever does not have locking button so that the lever can shift at anytime if it is accidentally bumped. The downshifts could be smoother and less often, but aren't that big a deal. Wish I'd gotten the stick shift instead, but at the time I wanted to try an automatic after 15 years of my old truck. Love the suicide rear doors on the access cab. But rear seating is cramped and should only be for short trips or kids.
Best FeaturesTons of power. Roomy interior. Composite bed liner (seems like plastic but it's supposedly stronger than steel). Bed storage for ropes. Adjustable tie down cleats. Storage under rear seats. Looks great! Fun to drive! Safety features standard, like ABS and stability assist.
Worst FeaturesWeak braking - should be rear disc brakes instead of drums. Improve gas mileage with cylinder shut offs when cruising. Low seat height - should be powered seats with full adjustments. One rear speaker vibrates plastic inside the rear door.

The Water sachet Producers Association of Ghana has indicated its intention to increase the unit price of the product, from the current 20 pesewas to 30 pesewas.
According to the association, cost of production has shot up, following the recent increase in fuel, electricity and water tariffs. Indeed, following the quantum jump in the utility tariffs, industries are virtually on their knees, struggling to break even.
As indicated by the water producers, their production hinges on water, electricity and fuel, and if prices of these essential ingredients have gone up, naturally they have the right to also adjust their prices accordingly.
However, The Chronicle does not think the water producers can justify their intended increment, because they have, for some time now, forced their consumers to buy the product above the officially approved prices.
The last time the price was adjusted, consumers were asked to pay 15 pesewas as unit price for the commodity. However, because of the scarcity of the 5 pesewas coin, the price was rounded up to 20GP.
This means the poor consumers through no fault of theirs, have been compelled to buy the commodity above the officially approved prices. The big question begging for answer is - did the water producers take into consideration the windfall profit they made before arriving at the 30 pesewas they intend to charge the same consumers.
At a news conference held in Accra yesterday to sensitize the public about the imminent increment, journalists asked these water sachet producers whether they would slash down the price, should water and electricity tariffs be reduced, but they were not forthcoming with precise answers.
They could equally not tell the journalists whether they took into consideration the extra 5 pesewas consumers were paying for their products before arriving at the 30 pesewas, as the new price.
It is instructive to note that it is not only water sachet producers that are in this business of always making windfalls at the expense of consumers. The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) is also fond of pulling a fast one on passengers.
The last time fuel prices were increased last year, the union and other transport organizations were fast in adjusting lorry fares. Since then, prices of fuel have gone down more than 30%, but the fares remained the same. However when fuel prices were adjusted recently, they were the first to start agitating for an increase in transport fares.
It is increasingly becoming clear that because consumers do not have any strong association to champion their cause, they are always at the mercy of some of these well-organized unions.
The Chronicle is, therefore, calling on the government to intervene as it did in the case of the transport unions and prevent the new price of sachet water from being slapped on consumers. It is unfair for consumers to be called upon to pay more for sachet water when they are already paying beyond the stipulated price.
The Chronicle is also calling on Ghanaians to fully support Mr. Kofi Kapito's Consumer Protection Agency to ensure that it becomes the mouth piece of all consumers. This, coupled with inputs from the government, is the only way the rights of consumers can be properly protected in this country. The Chronicle insists that 30Gp for sachet water is not justifiable.

The shifter linkage levers use rubber bushings where the shift rod couples to them. These bushings absorb slop and vibration. If a clunk is heard when shifting gears or the gearshift lever rattles over rough roads, the bushings could be bad. The intermediate lever (attached to the gear shift lever) sits above the catalytic converter, so its bushing is particularly prone to degradation. The bushings are inexpensive, so also replacing the one in the range selector lever can't hurt while you're under the car. The general process is the same for many Mercedes-Benz cars that have the 722 automatic transmission.
The car will need to be raised and secured to create enough room to crawl under and reach the range selector lever (on the left side, near the transmission cross member) and the intermediate lever, above the catalytic converter in the R170 SLK.
The front bushing is the easiest. Pry off the lock clip with a screwdriver and then push the shift rod's pin inboard, out of the bushing. Using a screwdriver, poke the old bushing out of the lever's eye.
Installation isn't quite as easy as removal. The new bushing needs to be pushed into the lever's eye so that its center groove seats on the lever. Carefully pushing the bushing with long needle-nose pliers or screwdrivers will eventually get it into the groove. A hot tip (literally) is to soak the bushing in hot water, making it more pliable for installation. If attempting this, obviously take care to not burn yourself on a hot bushing.
The intermediate lever end isn't as easy. With the key in the ignition, shifting the transmission into "1" will move the lever forward for better access. Then pull off the lock clip, push the shift rod out of the bushing and remove/replace the bushing.
Because access is tight, a special installation tool is available (BM-7200) to expedite the job. It squeezes the bushing into the lever's eye.
The bushing on the range selector lever, the one at the front of the shift rod, normally lasts longer than the rear bushing since it isn't subjected to exhaust heat. The front bushing is comparatively easy to replace: pull the lock clip (red arrow) with a screwdriver, push the rod (yellow arrow) out of the lever, then push out the old bushing and squeeze in the new one. Silicone lube and long needle-nose pliers help the new bushing go into the range selector lever.
The shift lever end sits above the exhaust and is harder to reach than the front bushing. As with the other end, a lock clip (green arrow) holds the shift linkage rod (purple arrow) on the lever, buffered by a bushing (yellow arrow).
A screwdriver or similar tool can be used to push the bushing (arrow) out of the lever's eye.
The replacement bushing (arrow) is pressed in so that its center groove seats on the lever.
Here's an example of a worn bushing. The shoulders should be round and symmetrical.
A special tool makes installation easier. It holds the new bushing (arrow) on a pin.
Squeezing the tool together and wiggling it up and down and side to side seats the new bushing in the lever.
Removed from the car for clarity, the shift linkage rod's rear pin attaches to the intermediate lever through the bushing, secured by a lock clip (yellow arrow). The rod's front pin (red arrow) attaches similarly to the range selector lever.

Collegiate 100
The Collegiate 100 had its beginning at Prairie View A&M University in 1993 by Frederick V. Roberts, then director of Student Activities. The impetus for the group was a mentoring program sponsored for female students by the Coalition of 100 Black Women of Houston. The original group included male and female students who provided leadership and mentoring for the students at the university. Roberts, being a charter member of the newly recognized 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston Chapter, Inc. (formed in March 1994 and approved at the National convention June 1994) of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. presented the proposal to seek affiliation with the national organization.
The chapter, led by Attorney Benjamin Pigott, accepted and approved the proposal for the Collegiate 100 in its November 1994 meeting. The proposal was presented to the Board of Directors of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc., at its December 1994 Leadership Board Meeting. The proposal was unanimously adopted and thus began the national launch of the Collegiate 100. The 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston, Inc. hosted its Inaugural Ball in November at the Hyatt Regency and recognized the students for their leadership in helping to form the organization. Some of the first members of the Collegiate 100[4] at PVAMU were Robert Brown, Horace Bussey, Kevin Bussey, Sherry Cardigan, Lelar Corbett, Loretta Davis, Cedric Goodman, Jason Jefferson, Christina Johnson, Marcus Lane, Andre' Pitre, Derrick Ross, Devyon Smith, Michael Smith and Donna Tomlinson. Today, some chapters only have male members and or have one organization with two segments led by male and female presidents.
Every collegiate chapter must have a faculty or staff member on staff at the university to head the chapter. That person must also be an active member of 100 Black Men to ensure the chapter runs efficiently and effectively.
The 100 Black Men of South Florida. is the sponsor for three Collegiate 100 Chapters as follows:
- Florida International University
- University of Miami

We Love What We Do
EGP (executive golf promotions) started its roots in 1998. The focus was on corporate golf days and golf tours. Successful corporate golf days were put together where the professional businessman, golfer and rugby player had the chance to interact on a social level and to show off their skills on the golf course. From there it developed into getaway packages for golfers and soon Omar realized that there was another market that could be explored in a different way.
In 2005 Omar started practicing as a Healer and re-branded the company to name it SOULCARE.
SOULCARE – Caring for the soul.
From there the name SOULCARE RETREATS.
Omar believes in Balance and to achieve that he recommends taking time out every 5-6 weeks. Take a day or 2 off form the daily tasks and explore something that you always wanted to do. Today Soulcare Retreats can offer the client various packages from car rental, flights, accommodation, golf tours, cruises and even organic food and wine getaways. Soulcare Retreats also focus on the corporate market for conferencing and other travel arrangements.

Retreat what you are doing, to recharge and rejuvenate the soul, to fuel the mind and body with renewed energy. Omar Botha believes it is healthier for a human to take regular short breaks to relax and recharge the mind, body and soul than to work oneself to death. If a person works non-stop for too long a period it may cause emotional, physical and mental fatigue that can lead to various illnesses and depression.

Really, I don't know. :3 I love the possiblity of Ghirahim defying his master and stuff. :) Especially after what he did to poor Ghira. D:
So yesterday I had several good words and ideas in my head, typed them down, then finaly wrote up the story.
When ya get t' the end... :/ Well, I guess you can probably give me ideas on what will happen and I can see which one I like best. :)
I don't own LoZ. :/ If I did, Ghirahim would appear in future games.
Read and Review, please. :3
Ghirahim jerked as sword was pulled from its resting place within the center of the ruby diamond at his chest and bit back whimper of pain, knowing that Demise would not like him to show any weakness.
His mind became hazy with the aching of his body and he kept eyes half-lidded as he panted softly, still restrained in the air by his master's magic.
Then he felt it; his spirit being sucked back into the sword, where he rightfully belonged.
Flashes of what happened moments before flashed through Ghirahim's mind and he realized that Demise hadn't even thanked him for reviving him. He had merely shot him down, a look of contempt in his eyes.
Ghirahim bared his teeth, anger at his master's indifference flooding through him, and he quickly ripped himself away from the sword before it could break his consciousness. He hit the ground hard on his side with a grunt, pain shooting through his already weakened body, and he lay there, panting and trembling slightly from the tremors that racked his body.
The sword spirit grinned a little as he stared at the white skin of his arms, his white hair once again falling in front of his left eye, comforting him.
"You ungrateful worm!" Demise screamed as he raised the jagged sword above his head and rapidly brought it down.
Using all his strength, Ghirahim quickly rolled out of the way of the strike, the blade's tip sinking deep into the ground where he had previously been, but he didn't expect Demise to be so fast.
A scaled foot slammed into his chest, sending him flying back and he crashed violently into the rock wall behind him, the impact causing him to gasp before he fell to the ground with a thud.
"You dare defy me? !" Demise snarled, pulling his sword out of the ground as he walked closer to the struggling sword spirit.
Ghirahim glared at the advancing Demise with hateful eyes as he held his aching chest with one hand before he retorted, "I will defy you with everything I have!"
"You will regret ever disobeying me!" Demise raised the sword above his head and Ghirahim closed his eyes, waiting for the final blow.
When he heard the clang of metal against metal, Ghirahim gradually looked up to see Link standing between him and Demise, the Master Sword above his head, grinding against Demise's blade.
Link glanced at him with a small smile before he looked at Groose on the nearby ledge.
"Groose, come help Ghirahim!"
Groose spluttered, holding Zelda closer to his body, and shouted, "No way in hell!"
Link grunted as he put his hand against the flat of the Master Sword's blade, Demise's strength slowly pushing the weapon closer to him, before he glared at the redhead.
"Do it! Now!"
Groose looked between Link, Zelda, and Ghirahim, before he reluctantly set Zelda down, stood up, and ran toward the sword spirit.
"Come on!" Groose grabbed Ghirahim by the arm before he could protest.
"No, wait!" Ghirahim tried to pry off Groose's fingers, but with the redhead pulling him backward and the movements causing sharp jolts of pain in his chest, there wasn't much he could do about it. "I need to help Link!"
"He's fine on his own!" Groose picked up the unconscious Zelda in his other arm as he hurried to the nearby temple. "He can handle that baddie."
Ghirahim struggled to keep track of Link and his master as they walked farther up the coiling hills of the Sealed Grounds, ready to trip Groose and jump in any moment if he saw that anything was wrong.
But he couldn't see anything because the lower hills kept getting in the way and he couldn't hear anything.
"Hey, Grannie!" Groose called as he pushed open the doors to the temple open with his foot. "I need ya to help him out!"
The old lady stared at Ghirahim as Groose mercilessly dropped him on the stone steps leading to the time gate, but said nothing.
Ghirahim stared right back at her grumpily, daring her to do something.
"Where is Link?" she asked finally, looking back at Groose, who was carefully leaning Zelda against one of the poles.
"Fighting Master…" Ghirahim muttered, his ear lowering as he stared at the ground before him.
He had to go help the blonde. He had to.
Ghirahim stood up, annoyed with the situation, and staggered toward the door, still holding onto his chest.
"Where are you going?" the old lady asked mildly, watching the white-haired demon.
"To help Link," he responded spitefully, "what's it look like I'm doing?"
"Link can handle this Demies guy on his own," Groose stepped between Ghirahim and the door, putting a hand against his chest to stop him, "so I suggest you just go sit down and let Grannie heal you."
Ghirahim scowled at the redhead. "Your hair makes me sick. Get out of my way."
That surprised Ghirahim; no one had ever said no to him besides Demise.
"No?" he repeated, raising a challenging eyebrow. "No? You dare to stand in my way?"
Groose was beginning to look unsure of himself as he removed his hand and took a step back.
Ghirahim raised his free arm and readied his fingers to snap.
"I suggest you remove yourself or I will remove you myself."
"I would still myself if I were you, young one," the old lady suddenly spoke up, cause Ghirahim to glance at her out of the corner of his eye, "he is merely trying to make sure you do not do anything foolish."
"Stop me or not, my fate is to die along with my master," Ghirahim shot a glare at the ground as he added bitterly, "that is all a spirit sword is supposed to do."
"If fate had its way, Ghirahim, then you would already have lost your consciousness, had you been absorbed by your sword."
"Are you saying that it was Hylia who saved me?" Ghirahim sneered as he glared at the sleeping blonde. "I don't need her pity or her love or protection or whatever the hell it is she does. I'm fine on my own."
"It is none of that," the old lady chuckled shaking her head and Ghirahim glared at her.
"Then what is it? Why did I disobey what I was created to do?"
"Defiance doesn't need to be explained. You were mad at your master and you wanted a way to get back at him; refusing to enter the sword was the only way you were able to do such a thing."
"If my blade shatters…" Ghirahim stared at the ground as his ear lowered. "Does that mean I go, too?"
"It depends…" the old lady tilted her head to the side, a small smile on her wrinkled face. "Do you want to go?"
"It is my fate."
Yeah, I couldn't think of how to end it. ^_^'' So I wanted to put this up anyway and see what you guys think. Fluffy ending, cute ending, sad ending. :3 Doesn't matter to me. :)
So...I hope you enjoy. :3 Please read and review.

Superintendent Larry Dugger said construction on the courts completed last week, save the installation of the windscreens the Pottville School District (PSD) is waiting on.
"Already the courts have been a great asset, not only to the students but to the community," Dugger said. "The players have already had practice on them, but in the evenings people in the community come and use them too."
The $430,000 cost of the tennis courts was mitigated in part by three grants received by the school district — $100,000 from Tyson Foods and $50,000 from the city of Pottsville. The most recent grant, $10,000 dollars from the United States Tenis Association (USTA), was spearheaded by Pottsville student Celeste Parker.
"Parker did all the work for that grant," Dugger said. "She filled out all the paperwork and submitted the grant. She did it to get the district $10,000."
The USTA Assistance Program aims to support and provide communities access to safe, appealing and functional tennis environments.
"We are committed to enhancing and building more tennis facilities in communities across the country," USTA chief executive Kurt Kamperman said. "This program allows us to assist in the development process of providing usable tennis venues to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to play and enjoy the health benefits of our great game."
Since 2005, the USTA has awarded these grants to support tennis facility enhancements, renovations and new construction projects to provide more and enhanced tennis venues for increased playing opportunities. In total, the USTA Facilities Assistance Program has built more than 38,000 tennis courts across the country in the past seven years, for all ages and abilities to enjoy the sport of a lifetime.
In 2014, the USTA allocated over $900,000 through the Facility Assistance Program to help support public tennis facility enhancements, renovations and new construction projects.
Prior to construction, the Pottsville tennis teams traveled to Old Post Park each afternoon to practice.
"We saw that as a liability," Dugger said. "When the opportunity to build courts came up, it was too good to pass up."
Dugger said around 40 students were trying out for tennis, and with the recent success of the program, the district wanted to meet the needs of its athletes.
