"I see…" Kurenai mused and looked up at the girl who had made her way over to her desk to ask for direction as what to do.
Hinata fiddled with the zipper on her royal purple sweater, pulling it up and down while waiting for an answer from her teacher. Kurenai had either gone into a very deep state of thought or forgotten why Hinata had even come up to her desk in the first place because she no longer was looking at Hinata or seemed to pay any attention as she absentmindedly stroked her growing pregnant belly. Hinata gave a small sigh and looked around the classroom decorated with many brightly coloured posters, sketches, and photos, letting her teacher have a moment to herself and possibly recollect herself while she was at it.
The art room was always like a sanctuary to Hinata with the vibrancy in colour, sharp smells of turpentine and paint and the sounds filtering through the walls next to the ill played band room. She continued her glance around the room to the visual graphics class that sometimes shared the large room with her photography class and gave a small smile to Kiba who shot his picture of a terribly drawn dog up in the air to show her. She often wondered why he had joined if he hated drawing so much, though she sometimes figured it was because of Ino, aspiring model, astronaut, and artist who Hinata often caught Kiba staring at.
"Well, this is a partner assignment, so you'll just go in a group of three then, okay?" Kurenai surprised her by suddenly replying to her long ago asked question.
Hinata nodded slowly and frowned at the thought of Sakura coming up to her at lunch to warn her that she would be skipping photography for the comfort of one of those cancer boxes that Sakura called a tanning bed. Sakura was at times a shallow and superficial girl who cared more for her obsession with boys and her shockingly good looks than grades (even though she still managed to keep a 4.0 grade average), but she was still a friend whom Hinata would help lick the open wounds and cover up red teary eyes for.
Hinata sighed again. Sakura was also her assigned partner whenever partnered assignments were necessary, thanks to the fact that their last names were so close together. It was always slightly troublesome and embarrassing when Hinata would have to make the long journey from her desk to the teacher's and tell her that she her partner was yet again "sick". Nonetheless, Hinata nodded and waited for the teacher to give her a new partnered group.
Kurenai seemed to suddenly realize this was necessary too and pointed to two boys sitting at a desk close to the door, arguing amongst each other in manners completely different from another, but seemingly equally effective. "Sasuke and Naruto. Those two always need someone to look after them. You can do that, can't you?"
Hinata gave a weak smile and nodded, taking painfully slow steps towards the two boys who always were seen together and always had a trail of trouble not far behind them. Hinata shuddered. How was she supposed to be looking after them?
"Shit, Naruto, you're even stupider than I thought."
"I am not stupid, jackass! I'm a creative thinker!"
"There is no way we are going to be able to take a photo of an elephant in a tree. Do you have an elephant by any chance? A tree sturdy enough to keep it from falling out? A means of getting it up into said tree?" Sasuke snorted and crossed his arms. "I can't believe I'm having this conversation. Even with you."
"What's that supposed to—Hey, Hinata!" Naruto looked up from his heated debate with Sasuke and grinned toothily at the frightened looking girl who smiled back uneasily. "Can I getcha anything?"
"U-uhm…Kurenai sa-said that since Sakura's not here, I should b-be partnered with you guys." Hinata answered quietly and cringed when she noticed her old habit of stuttering reappeared.
Naruto's grin widened to an even friendlier extent. "That's great! You know how the saying goes, 'two's just boring and three's company!'"
"It's amazing that your stupidity hasn't caught onto me yet. I keep fearing and expecting it everyday. Fucking idiot." Sasuke drawled and tipped his chair back to the wall.
"Hey, bastard," Naruto called across the table and stuck up a well known finger signal to the stoic boy. "We have a lady present, you douche bag, keep the language clean."
Sasuke looked up at Hinata with the realization she was there. His stare was unnerving and made Hinata fidget and tug at one of the pigtails that Tenten had convinced her to put in. She didn't understand why he didn't glare at her with annoyance or anger as he did with most people even though his lips were turned down at a downwards angle. She didn't talk with the dark eyed boy often if at all, but somehow had managed to come into his good graces that were the biting back of harsh words she would sometimes see rise up in his throat, the grunt of an answer that he spared her instead of silence, and various other small things that others may consider rude, but in comparison with Sasuke were incredibly polite.
He turned away from her and stood up with his camera in hand. "Let's start. Our assignment is to take photos of our partners with interesting perspectives or views." He scowled at the blonde and cobalt haired girl. "But we are not taking any pictures of me."
"What, is the pretty princess afraid that she's not photogenic enough?" Naruto teased with a large grin on his face and cut off Sasuke's retort that was left hanging in his open mouth. "Anyways, I know what the assignment is, Sasuke." Naruto rolled his eyes and stood up too with considerably less grace than the boy across from him.
Sasuke snorted and wiped the lens of his camera with a tissue. "Right. And what about that elephant you wanted in the tree?"
"I obviously didn't mean a real elephant--"
"Um…where should we do this?" Hinata interrupted quietly and looked up at Sasuke, searching for a way to get Naruto on track and an answer.
The boy shrugged and pointed towards the door. "Outside would be a good start."
Hinata nodded and waited for Naruto to gather his camera and trot out with her and was mildly surprised when he began chattering to her amiably about his homework, his physics teacher who always gave him a hard time, and the colour of his boxers (the latter of the topics made her blush a bright tomato red and render her tongue a heavy lead weight) like they had been friends for an incredibly long time.
She smiled through the whole pointless conversation, occasionally putting in her opinion and wondering why this conversation had gotten so easy and long. Before long, the had reached the edges of the campus where the trees were thick, tall, and brightly coloured from the toll that autumn was taking on them, cameras and assignment forgotten.
"Say, Hinata." Naruto scratched his head and looked around before turning to her. "Where's Sasuke?"
Hinata widened her eyes in surprise and realized with a heavy guilty feeling in her stomach that she had forgotten all about her other partner. "I…I don't know. Did we leave him behind at the classroom?" She didn't even remember if he had left with them after telling them that going outside for the assignment would be best.
"Tch." Naruto frowned, obviously catching the habit from Sasuke himself who was always caught with that look and expression. "Well, I'll go look for him, you stay here and start."
Hinata was about to object and tell him that she needed at least one partner to do the assignment, but the words came too late as he sped off in search of his best friend. She sighed and looked at the trees that stood so gracefully tall and proud. Even if she couldn't do the assignment, she could at least take some nice photos that would possibly get on Kurenai's good graces and give her a good enough mark.
She wandered into the small expanse of trees that surrounded the entire school campus and began to take pictures of the leaves that fluttered to the ground, the small puddles of water that nestled comfortably between tree roots, the canopy of trees that covered the clear blue sky, anything and everything that signified the presence of fall.
She traveled her line of sight over to a group of three slightly skinnier and longer trees that came together at the base and traveled slowly apart like an upside down prism without a bottom. The bark on those trees alone was a peeling white with dark slashes of black in them and made the tree seem frighteningly out of place. At the top of the trees between their small expanse of space was a small platform led up by a trail of a multitude of crudely tacked on boards that looked much too unstable for human weight.
The small, reasonable part of Hinata screamed that going up that would only cause a broken neck, or at least several other broken bones, but the other part of her that would kill for a beautiful picture beat down her reason to a broken, bloody pulp and screamed that a picture of these trees from above would definitely get Kurenai's good mark despite her lack of following instructions. It was just too good to pass up.
Strapping her camera safely against her shoulder, Hinata walked up to the boards and began to climb, knowing that if she didn't begin her descent right away without looking back, she would back down and find something of less interest to take a picture of. Each creak of the board that Hinata stepped on brought another sliver of fear into her heart that made her climb even faster for fear that every delayed step on a board would send her flying towards the ground.
The ledge of the wooden platform came into view and she gave a cry of relief as she threw herself onto it. She didn't even get up for several seconds as she let the gratitude and relief that she had not fallen to her death and the sudden tightness in her chest that she realized she had no idea how she would be getting down mingle together into a nauseous blend of emotion. Finally, she took an unsteady step up and looked around at her surroundings.
She must've been forty feet in the air, towering over other trees enough to see the small back roads that were lined with houses such her own and wound their way to the large highway teeming with cars. It was incredible. She had never been this high in open space before, and the wave of dizziness that came to her was not all from the sudden change of height, she was sure.
Whipping her camera off of her shoulder, she began to snap away at the scenery, photographing the bird that was for once below her in a tree as opposed to above, the tops of the warmly coloured leaves, and the blue sky dotted with small cotton balls of clouds. It wasn't until she felt the thump of feet and hands climbing the tree did she slowly stop and turn to face the ledge which she had climbed up. Who would be coming up here? Would it be a teacher coming to reprimand her? What about a passing man who happened to see her up here? Would anyone hear her scream? Dozens of scenarios raced through her head that was letting rampant thoughts run wild, each one worse than the next.
Tears welled in her eyes and she crouched down into a ball out of despair, holding her arms out in front of her defensively. After seeing a hand make its way onto the ledge for support, she clenched her eyes shut and screamed, "Stay away from me!"
There was no growl of a predator, no roar of a voice to tell her to shut up, no chastising of a teacher; nothing but silence that made Hinata's fears even more ill at ease. Footsteps made their way across the small platform and Hinata sobbed against her knees even harder, gripping her thighs so harshly she was sure that marks would be left.
"What are you doing?" A voice much softer than what she had expected or even hoped asked from above her.
Slowly, Hinata looked up into the unblinking eyes of the Uchiha orphan who tilted his head at her with curiosity and amusement. A horrified look spread across her face and she quickly wiped away the tears that betrayed her silliness. She would never live this down. Sasuke would tell Naruto how much of a freak she was, and Naruto would in turn tell the whole world. Did he think she was some sort of crazy weirdo? She would too if she found a classmate screaming and sobbing at the top of a tree for her to stay away.
"I-I'm sorry." Hinata whispered and shakily stood up, the blush tainting her skin giving away the sheer embarrassment she was feeling. "Sorry."
"Why?" He asked, genuinely surprised.
"For…f-freaking out like that." She looked down at her feet and almost wished that she could leap out of the tree.
There was a snort that could've been mistaken for a laugh as he leaned against a wooden rail that surrounded most of the platform and looked as if it would collapse from the weight he was placing on it. "What did you think was happening?"
"N-never mind." She shook her head and cautioned a look at Sasuke who was staring out at the expanse of land beneath them. There was no denying the small tug of attraction that she felt towards the boy with the should-be-illegal good looks. It was by no means a crush or anything nearly as severe as that, but she was a normal teenage girl who could appreciate beauty in the simplest sense.
His hair had been cut since when she last remembered and she wasn't sure whether or not it was disappointment or delight on her behalf that came from this change. No longer did his hair run amuck in longish tangles that always brushed in front of his eyes or tickled his ears, but now gave him an edgier look that made him look older and…sexier. As if reading Hinata's thoughts, he ran his hand consciously through it, probably thinking that the feeling was foreign.
He had pretty eyes too, such a deep navy blue that most girls thought they were a black onyx. How she hated that cliché. Onyx was a stone, and stones showed no emotion. Though many thought the Uchiha was the same way, Hinata could tell his emotion ran deep, merely veins of feeling so deep it was often mistaken for not being there. But she could see otherwise with the conscious crinkle between his eyebrows as he continued to touch his new style of hair, the quirk of his lips that happened when he came up onto the platform, and the discreet laughs he would sometimes share with Naruto.
Hinata snapped her gaze guiltily towards Sasuke's gaze who suddenly snapped a picture of her and made her blush. Oh, fabulous. Not only was he going to think that she was a freak show, but that she was also infatuated with him for staring so long. Not to mention the probably horribly unflattering picture he had just taken of her.
"Yes?" She asked and frowned with displeasure as he flipped through the picture on his digital camera with an amused smirk on his face. She looked back at her camera that was held faithfully in her fingers. She didn't use a flashy digital camera like most of the other students in her photography class did, but a camera that actually required film and a dark room to create the photo, it always seemed much more authentic that way.
"I said, 'Why are you up here?' Then I lost your attention to something else," Hinata was sure that the blush on her face was probably almost brown in colour by now from the smirk he gave her. "and I tried getting your attention back."
"Why are you up here?" She fired back at him.
He was unfazed by this question and shrugged as he continued to look down at the tiny screen of his camera. "I come here often."
"Naruto's looking for you…"
He shrugged. "Let him, he knows I regularly leave him during partnered assignments. Now if you'd be so kind as to answer my question…?"
There wasn't any real reason why Hinata should've answered to this arrogant boy, but she sighed and did so nonetheless. "I thought it would be a nice place to take photos."
"It is, isn't it?" He asked and turned back to face the scenery. The breeze blew stray hairs of his around in a lazy way, his pose was relaxed against the almost rotting railing, and the look in his eyes was so content that Hinata couldn't help but slowly lift up her camera and hope that she had turned off the flash.
Unfortunately, the quiet between them was so deep that his eyes flickered dangerously towards her at the sound of her shutter closing. Her eyes widened in horror as his own narrowed and his catlike paces made their way over to her. Scrambling backwards until she hit the wood board behind her that served as a rail, she whispered constant apologies.
He made his way over until there was no room for Hinata to move and he placed both hands on either sides of her. "What did I specifically ask at the beginning of this assignment?"
There was a creak from the rotten wood pressing into Hinata's back and she couldn't help but look down at the ground that was a dizzying distance away. She gave a small scream and clutched onto Sasuke's thin shirt, her fingernails scratching his hard chest beneath the shirt in her haste as she murmured more apologies, begging for him to let her go.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," She continued to gasp and threw her arms around him with a screech as he pressed her further against the rail.
"What did I ask?" He asked again in a patiently steely voice.
"Not to take any pictures of you!" Hinata cried and pressed her face into his shoulder to hide the view of everything else. Oh, God. She was going to die. She was going to fall to her death and die.
"And what did you do?" He asked in the same tone as before.
"B-but Naruto's not here! The assignment is t-to take picture of y-your partners!" She sobbed and tried to lean against him to get further away from the ledge.
Sasuke seemed to take this into consideration as he slowly stepped away from the edge with the frightened Hinata still firmly attached to him. "Well, I need one of you then too."
Hinata slowly lessened her grip and looked up at him, her shock still too great to do much else. "B-but you're already t-taken one."
He shrugged and looked down at his camera that he had turned on. "I deleted it. It wasn't very flattering."
She was still too stunned to blush.
He looked down at her wide eyes almost hesitantly before tilting his head and angling his lips around hers. Hinata didn't think it was possible for her eyes to widen further, but they did. What was she supposed to do? Why was he doing this? What was going on? Too surprised to do much else, Hinata closed her eyes and let Sasuke bring an arm around her waist.
There was a flash of light that Hinata could still tell went off from behind her closed eyelids and Sasuke slowly lifted his lips away from hers and viewed the picture he had just taken. His arm had been angled at an upwards angle so that the landscape beneath them was still seen from behind their pressed together faces.
There was an actual grin on Sasuke's face as Hinata looked down at that picture while still dazed and said, "That is not being handed into Kurenai."
He replied with another kiss.
And this time the flash did not go off.
This had been in my head all week after spotting a similar group of trees with the same platform in it at my own school. I asked my friends what was with it, and they told me a hobo lived there.
Needless to say…I don't venture up it, nor do I plan to.

Fifty trees of Montreal
Island of Trees: Fifty Trees, Fifty Tales of Montreal, by Bronwyn Chester, Véhicule Press
April is the cruelest month. Except for the trees. Unencumbered by resentment or petulance at the past five months of minus 20, they pop out their little buds the moment the sun lingers for more than ten minutes. But trees cycle through life and death as if it were a roller coaster. Any minute now they'll be racing past on their way to the lushest part of the year.
But it's still a cruel, damned month. Making me think of lush trees and Bronwyn Chester, variegated trees and Bronwyn Chester, unique trees with unexpected stories and Bronwyn Chester. Trees and their patron, Bronwyn Chester.
Chester was a Montreal a freelance writer and editor. Her Spacing.ca column Tree Tuesday/Les mardi des arbres was a popular feature of the website, as were her tree tours around the city. In 2009 she parlayed this into a Montreal Gazette weekly column, Island of Trees.
Chester's love for trees was both expansive and inclusive. "How many of us have stood in awe at the foot of some tree," she asked. Well, I never had until I became a regular reader of her column. She was intriguingly intimate with the trees on Mount Royal, with the fruit trees hidden throughout the city, with the trees that shaded our cemeteries, the trees that populated McGill Campus, and the trees that brought life and character to our neighbourhoods.
Chester gave trees dignity and presence. "Decades ago, I met a tree I will never forget," she writes in Dawn Redwood. In Balsam Fir she asks "What makes a fir a fir?" In her chapter on Apple trees it's as if she personally remembered a time when the island was abundant in wild fruit. "The apple trees on Mount Royal are now sparse, but there was a time when our own Monteregian hill was rimmed in apples on all but the most rocky and northerly faces. In fact, the very first apple orchards in Quebec were planted by the Sulpician order in 1660 in the area where their seminary still stands at Atwater and Sherbrooke streets."
"Before sending you out to explore, I'd like you to take a few minutes to consider the 'regular' trees, as a grade-four boy I once taught called those he saw in his schoolyard." So begins the first chapter in this collection of Gazette columns where, in spite of the 400-word constraint, she packed equal parts information and drama.
"Forest fire… turns jack (pines) into a quick and nimble reproducer… But the tree is quickly the victim of its own success. Intolerant of the shade, the second generation following a forest fire can't thrive in the shade of its parents. Other species, however, such as the shade-tolerant red pine, take advantage of the shelter provided by the small and scrappy jack. They live to replace their protector."
I was a dedicated reader of Chester's columns and in the fall of 2011 sought out her column to get information on her next walking tour. Never having heard to her talk about trees in person, I was determined to finally do so. The leaves were turning colour, an afternoon with Bronwyn Chester was going to be the perfect way to spend a day. But the column I found was her last: struck with cancer, she was stepping back to be with her family. She died in August the following year. The trees were green.
This collection, begun while she was still alive and completed after her death, was a labour of love for Bryan Demchinsky, her Gazette editor, and Simon Dardick at Véhicule Press. Full of maps and sketches, it captures perfectly that brief moment of time when Montreal's trees had a patron, a friend, a protector.
"Finally, I land," Chester writes in the book's introduction, when its completion was still a possibility for her. "You land. We all land back on earth. Or, such is my hope."
Leila Marshy is former Editor of Rover. She's on a bread break with Madame PainPain.

Oh, so lovely. Thanks for this. I remember Bronwyn. Part of my mind still imagines that she is out there somewhere, walking around the city, loving the trees.

Brava, Bronwyn and thanks to Leila. Like Claire Morissette, Bronwyn died far too young, but both left their mark in making our city and island a greener place.

Flirting at workVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Male
I started a new job about 4 months ago and a female coworker of mine and I hit it off really well and I am crushing on her bad. We seldom talk or see each other outside of work, however when we are at work we are virtually inseperable. We have gone to lunch together numerous times, we talk about anything but work when we are alone, and we catch each other glaring at each other. Most of the stuff we talk about is on a very personal level and we tend to confide within each other. The problem is that she recently left a boyfriend and got a new one almost as fast, with both of them living about 2 hours away (which is where she is from). She keeps saying that she wants to find a boyfriend in the area that we are in, but she keeps falling for "those roughnecks" from where she is originally from.
She got transferred to another bureau within the company because of our business (engineering) we move from job to job quite a bit. However I got to see her again this past week at a Christmas luncheon and it was like we were never apart from each other and she was flirting a bit with me (to the point of touching my head). I feel it is pretty obvious that she likes me due to the fact that we talk about non-work things all the time, but I am wondering if she likes me as more than a friend (like I do with her)? Some of her actions tell me yes (like the flirting and the confiding), but the boyfriend 2 hours away and the fact that we seldom talk outside of work tell me something else. Can you clarify any of this for me?
RomanceClass.com Advice
Yes it sounds like she likes you as more than a friend. But that's always an iffy thing to figure out.
Since she wants a local boyfriend why not ask her out for dinner? If she accepts you will be a step ahead, and if she refuses then you will better understand where you stand with her. My guess is that she will say yes.
Good luck! George

is interested in taking a positive step toward improved sexual
satisfaction ? for you and your partner - then please take the time
to read this website.
The focus of Herbal Virility is to increase the flow of blood to the
penis thereby increasing the firmness and duration of the erection.
As you will see there are many factors that come into play for an
erection to be successful. Any type of damage or failure in a
critical area can lead to weak erections and poor performance during
your intimate situations.
The penis contains three major chambers which fill with blood during
an erection. These are the Corpora Cavernosa, of which the penis
contains two, and the Corpus Spongiosum. The head of the penis is
called the glans and is continuous with the distal most portion of
the Corpus Spongiosum. The glans varies in size accordingly with the
penis during an erection. The three chambers are surrounded by thin
ligaments that prevent over distention of the penis during an
erection. In addition, fibrous extensions of these ligaments create
a sheet that surrounds the penis and its chambers and are ultimately
responsible for the "stiffness" of erection when distended. The
chambers of the penis are a collection of distending blood vessels.
They become engorged with blood during an erection.
The erection occurs when stimuli cause the brain to send neural
signals to the penis via the nervous system. Complex chemicals are
also released by the body that trigger the process of filling and
holding the blood in the chambers of the penis. As the vascular
muscle at the beginning of the Corpus Spongiosum fills with blood it
soon stops the flow out of the penis. The penis is now engorged and
in an erect state. If there are any problems in any area of the
erection process your performance will suffer. Herbal Virility
contains ingredients researched for their ability to boost
performance by increasing blood flow to the penis which results in
harder erections.
Herbal Virility contains specially chosen ingredients long
researched for their ability to stimulate greater blood flow to the
genitals and increase testosterone levels. The unique blend includes
over 25 specific ingredients including L-Arginine, Yohimbe, Tribulus,
Maca and much, much more. Read more on what these ingredients have
been researched to do and what some experts say about them:
Arginine is a versatile amino acid which serves as a precursor for
the making of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is the most powerful
chemical known to dilate and engorge blood vessels of the penis.
?Arginine...not only helps with impotence, it increases the quality
of sperm,? revealed Dr. Ellen Kamhi, co-author of The Natural
Medicine Chest in a recent interview published on the WebMD site.
?Millions of dollars in advertising have every red-blooded American
male believing that ?the little blue pill' (aka Viagra ?) is the
gold standard for sexual performance,? writes Dr. David Williams in
Alternatives magazine. ?Don't you believe it. There's a much cheaper
(and safer) way to give your love life a boost?.It's with L-Arginine
[a primary ingredient in Herbal Virility].?
Yohimbe is an African-derived bark extract that is one of the most
popular and effective sex stimulants for both men and women,
according to Dr. Ray Sahelian, MD, in his book, Natural Sex
The active ingredient in Yohimbe, called Yohimbine has been shown to
increase blood flow to the penis and overall sexual arousal. As Dr.
Sahelian writes in his book, ?Yohimbe definitely works. I notice an
enhanced, longer-lasting erection from Yohimbe in about an hour and
a half after intake.?
Dr. Kamhi agrees. ?Yohimbe [is] a very, very potent sex enhancer.
Most men will notice an effect within a half hour?[as Yohimbe]
increases blood flow to the vessels of the penis.?
Tribulus has long been used around the world to improve sexual
functions in humans. The herb has been shown to increase blood flow
into the corpus cavernosa portion of the penile chamber creating
harder, stronger erections. One study conducted at National
University in Singapore also indicated that Tribulus is helpful as a
sex booster.
Maca is a root-like vegetable found high up in the Andes Mountain
range in South America and has been used by the people of that
region for its supposed aphrodisiac property. In addition, the herb
has been shown to increase testosterone levels, seminal volume and
sperm count per ejaculation according to a study at the Universidad
Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, as reported in the book
Natural Sex Boosters.
And those are only 4 of the over 25 specially selected ingredients
in Herbal Virility. Go ahead! Order Herbal Virility and enjoy sex to
the fullest!

Shadows in The Valley
Michael A. Hallman
A World Apart
For a tiger in Africa, Damion had a fairly standard life, besides the fact he was in love with a panther he had grown up with. He and his friend Yuki were inseparable no matter where they were.
One morning as they were hunting the ground beneath Yuki began to cave in underneath her. Without thinking Damion jumped to rush her away but fell into the cavern himself.
"Damion are you ok?" asked Yuki. More for her sake than his "Yeah, I'm fine" said Damion. "Just a little banged up from the fall."
"Ok well now that that's settled, why would you do something that stupid!" said Yuki.
"Stay put I think I see an exit" and with that he walked away.
After wandering the cavern for awhile, he made his way towards a light, but the further he wandered towards it the stranger things got. He began to hear voices.
"The door "said a voice, it sounded so close but so far away.
"What door?" asked Damion, thinking it was a way out.
The door is open.
Then he came to a stone wall filling the cave made of the darkest stone he'd ever laid his eyes on and in it was what seemed to be the chalk outline of a door.
"Will you step toward the aid of a periled world?"
"What? Im just a tiger, what can I do to save a world."
"You are more than you appear but alas you are young and have not realized your true potential for greatness."
"I don't know what I can do to help but I will go" said Damion.
So then he found himself lying in a valley but he felt different. He pulled up his paw but, wait a second that's not a paw. He was a human, well almost human he still had his ears, tail, eyes and claws.
Up the Mountain, Down the Hole
"Where am I?" asked Damion to no one in particular.
"You" said the voice, "Are in the Drace Mountain Valley."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"The Drace mountains are home to the Shade Village and this worlds' counterpart to your friend Yuki."
"What! Yuki's here?" asked Damion excitedly.
"No she is not, but her counterpart Yuki VonBlake, daughter of Vero VonBlake, heir to the Hidden Shadows legacy." Stated the voice.
"Hidden Shadow?" asked Damion.
"Yes, you will find out more at the top of this mountain."
"Wait, what?" said Damion, but the voice was silent.
(Authors note: Ok by now you should realize he's in a world parallel to his own but where's his counterpart huh, well since he's the main character he doesn't have one.)
And so our hero's climb begins up the perils of Drace Mountains. When he finally make it to the top ,"Who are you?" yelled the guard in the tower.
"I'm Damion"
"Damion , who?" said the guard quite annoyed although Damion never had a surname. He was just Damion, so he had to think.
He had never thought about a last name. He had never had a family before so he just chose a name that he'd seen on the cave wall.
"I'm Damion Rios."
"What business do you have in the Outcast Village, home to the hidden shadows" asked the guard.
"I seek refuge for the night."
"Come in, all are welcome in Outcast Village", with that he disappeared. After a few minutes the gates came up and Damion went inside.
Once inside he saw it was the most diverse and lively place he had ever seen with people, animals, hybrids and others he had never laid eyes on. The various smells and aromas filled his nostrils, he very much liked this village.
When he was walking he continually saw people with black full face guards on their faces though they also had tails like him and armor for their body and half their tail. It was strange how they just stood there sometimes in groups but mostly alone, usually just watching what's going on. I'd only seen one of them fight and when they did it was beautiful, perfect almost no motion wasted. They fought like they owned the city. Little did I know, they did own the city.
Later that night he had the unfortunate surprise of bumping into one in the street and not apologizing. Later after he had gone to sleep he had a rude awakening. He woke up in a large black room with one light over a group of raised platforms and one, two, three of those black clad guards.
"Who are you?" asked the one in the center highest platform.
"I" said Damion , "am Damion Rios."
"What province do you come from?" asked the first.
"None I do not come from any province."
"Then where are you from traveler if not a province?" they asked.
For this Damion needed to think and he said the first thing that came to mind "The Valley below this mountain is the place I arrived here" said Damion.
"Why do you disrespect the hidden shadow, young one. Do you not understand our authority?"
"No, not really, I haven't ever been in this village a whole day yet sir."
"Well, welcome to our city Damion Rios. I am Vero VonBlake, I run this organization, The Hidden Shadow."
"I've heard the name but never had the honor of meeting one of you. I believe the second highest pedestal is your daughter, Princess of the Abyss, Yuki VonBlake."
"You are correct in saying but you have encountered us before, we've been watching you. Now since you've seen our sanctum, you have two choices."
"What may those choices be um….sir."
"You can either leave this village forever"
"Father!" yelled Yuki VonBlake.
"Or" said Vero.
"Or?"asked Damion.
"Or you could be tested for your aptitude to join us" said Yuki offering him an alternative.
"Yuki" yelled Vero "do not interrupt."
"Sorry father." She said.
"As she said" said Vero "your second option is to join the Hidden Shadow."
"I choose" said Damion "to take your test and join the Hidden Shadow Clan."
And so the test begans, three second class (the first being the lowest) students of Shadow came out to fight.
"Your trial" said Vero "is to escape or evade these students" and so the trial began.
The students were well trained and yet Damion was still managing to evade them but with each maneuver they gained ground on him till they were nearly on top of him.
It was at this moment everything changed.
When they neared for the final time Damion Changed. His hair went from dark brown to gleaming silver, his green eyes to a blood red, his claws sharper, and as they neared him he knocked them all out in a single sweep.
With his claws to the throat of the largest of the three Vero stood and yelled "Enough!"then as he calmed down he spoke "Damion Rios I now…"
"Sorry to disappoint you but Damion isn't not here right now" said the stranger.
"Then" Said Vero "To whom am I speaking?"Asked Vero "What is your name?"
"My name is a name you'll know well….My name is Crimson Wraith" said Crimson
"Impossible!!!" yelled Yuki Before her father could stop her "Crimson Wraith was one of the founders of the shade village and the father of the hidden shadows"
"Yuki! Hold your tongue girl." Said Vero now settled into his seat "Explain yourself 'Crimson'"
"This…Boy…somehow pulled my spirit from its resting place and stowed it inside his subconscious" Said Crimson "I must leave you now His Brief Moment of dependence on me is near comple.." but he didn't finish cause' Damion chose that moment to come to.
"What just….happened….I feel.." then Damion finally succumbed to shock and fell unconscious on the floor.
"This will be interesting" said Vero quietly to himself.
Another Tale
On the other side of the map there was a utopian society of fierce loyal warriors…the home of the wolves and the city of Latratus there in the royal castle the princess of the wolves resides.
"But dad!" said Maya. They'd been arguing about whether or not she could attend a political meeting between the 'Three Great Clans' or the three pillars.
"No and that's the end of our discussion!" said King Lyall he didn't want his daughter to have anything to do with the army.
"This isn't fair dad I'm going to be queen I need to attend these thing's….I'm already 17 dad" Said Maya
"We need to move soon" Stated Tyko the wolf general.
"Moving tonight would be a logical decision while the king and main guard are at the festival presentation" Said Ryian a captain in the wolves' recon force
"I just don't like the plan" Said Zero the wolf prince
"The lads fallen for her Tyko" Said Ryian
"I trust this isn't true Zero?" Asked Tyko. This would complicate their plans to a large degree.
"No uncle I can guarantee I will not compromise anything."
"Good. Then it's settled tonight we drink to the fall of the Cats"
All "To the fall of the cat's"
That morning As the Festival began they stole off into the castle to kidnap the princess and begin a war between the cats and wolves. The few guards they hadn't convinced to join them and didn't fear them they took care of without much effort. Soon they would have the princess in their grasp but they were almost out of time for the royal guard's could set off the alarm.
After they worked their way through the halls of the wolves palace they came to the doors to the princess's suite of rooms soon their plan would reach the end of the first stage. Soon the princess would come under their control.
In her room Maya was talking to herself about not attending the festival "I don't get it why was I left out….i mean I'm 17…..can't he see I'm just trying to get used to my duties as princess…well I guess he just doesn't like me seeing the military." She'd had no idea that a Cu' was being staged against her father by his generals (a Cu' is an abbreviation for Coup de' Ta' or the overthrow of a king/other ruler) Tyko, Ryian, and the wolf prince Zero. Actually Maya had met Zero when they were children and he visited her more and more as they grew older. They'd become quite close over the years because they were the only friends to each other because of their political position they couldn't make friends with the other kids. "Ugh it's just so boring in here" said Maya absent mindedly.

You could be extremely fortunate in the year ahead in advancing certain endeavors that you personally manage. However, you should be wary of situations where you have to share your authority.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Some exciting news is making the rounds among your friends. The buzz is likely to be about you and some exciting, significant development that you're involved in.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Some confidential information from an unexpected source could come your way. However, there's a chance you might not give it the proper importance. Don't be afraid to act on it!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The impression you make on friends today is likely to be so good, everyone will have a feeling that they should be doing something special for you. Don't be surprised if one or two do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You should be exceptionally lucky in terms of fulfilling your chosen goals. Take this golden opportunity to focus on your biggest and most ambitious objectives.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You're likely to learn something important when trying to teach another. It behooves you to be nice to those who ask for help, and to pay attention to your work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Greater returns than what you would normally expect are possible from a sideline endeavor. Review what happens to see what future opportunities exist.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You tend to take on the vibes of your associates. If you hang out with someone who you feel is always lucky, his or her fortune could rub off onto you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Things are changing for the better, and it looks like you're going to get all the help you need for a critical project that you were worried you'd have to tackle alone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — That tingle you feel in your chest could be a direct hit from one of Cupid's arrows. Things could get rather interesting for you in the romance department.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don't stop being hopeful regarding the outcome of an important event. Things are getting back on course, and you're likely to start getting the results you desire.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You'll be particularly good at most anything you take on today. It doesn't matter if you want to promote, build, purchase or sell something — shoot for the big time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Yesterday you were likely to be better at handling small transactions than large endeavors. Conditions are reversed today, however, so think big.

Featuring a detective obsessed with the female serial killer who tortured him, Chelsea Cain's New York Times best-selling Archie Sheridan/Gretchen Lowell thrillers are so dark they make midnight look like Mardi Gras. Now Cain has a new series, opening this August with One Kick and starring Kick Lannigan, a tough young woman still finding her equilibrium after being abducted as a child. With Kick, Cain says she's lightened up some while conceding that "compared to my other series it is PG-13, but compared to anything else, it would be R." Why launch a new, presumably gentler series, and what direction will it be taking?
"I had the idea of writing a second series early on," explained Cain in a phone interview. "It's a weird job I have as a writer. In most jobs there's a projectory of change, but I'm still at my desk writing away, and I wanted the challenge of writing a second series and maintaining two of them." At first, Cain couldn't dream up a character that interested her as much as the troubled Archie, but the stories of Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Lee Dugard sparked her imagination. "I wanted to know about those girls, about what their lives are like now," she maintains. "How do you move forward and reintegrate with your family when everyone thought you were dead?"
What's more, much as she loves Archie, Cain concedes that he's doomed: "He can never get better; he can get back to the person he used to be." She instead wanted a strong character who would be scarily competent and involved in redeeming her own life—"a hero in the undorky sense of the word." One of the great pleasures of this series will be watching Kick unpack her past as she continues to heal.
Part of Kick's healing comes from helping to find abducted children, precipitated in the opener by the arrival of the edgy, enigmatic John Bishop, who compels her to join his crusade by holding her dog hostage. Sometimes, he feels more like a villain than an ally. "In the early draft, he was more trustworthy, but I needed the tension," affirms Cain. "The more he subverts expectations, the more interesting he is." Kick and Bishop circle each other warily, and we don't know any more than Kick whether we can believe what he says. But we do see Kick more clearly through him.
In fact, says Cain, "All the characters in Kick's orbit exist to clarify who she is." For instance, we come to understand Kick's adaptive strategy during her abduction when she meets her abductor in a prison hospital, and dealing with her conflicted feelings about him will powerfully shape the series. Kick's uncertain reconciliation with the mother she reflexively shoved away as a celebrity monger will also be part of Kick's ongoing recovery. Then there's James, another abducted child and now her surrogate brother. "With all those fractured relationships, I needed someone she could trust," says his creator.
Does the dark and twisted labyrinth Cain enters in her books suggest some dark and twisted place in her mind? "I am a very happy person and feel safe in the world almost to a fault," she retorts, explaining that fiction like hers allows us to experience terrible fears without risk. Still, for writers, putting a child in danger presents a special problem, which Cain manages by showing us what befell Kick from her perspective only, never from that of an exploiting adult. Is One Kick really a book her grandmother could read? "I faded to black in the sex scenes," she protests. "There's no gratuitous menace, just menace!" And menace will keep those pages turning.—

Each year from April through October (depending on the weather) neighborhoods throughout New York City host street fairs. Streets are closed to traffic and tents and booths are set up as temporary store fronts for all kinds of merchandise.
From handcrafted wind-chimes to discount cosmetics to second hand jewelry to local clothing vendors, street fairs offer a shopping smorgasbord.
It is always such a pleasant surprise to be out on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and run across a New York City street fair. They are usually crowded, but unlike the fast paced, crammed in, irritated crowds that you might experience during say rush hour, the street fair crowds are casual, laid back and are usually quite amiable. It is almost as though the street fair is a designated chill zone.
The smell of freshly roasted sweet corn on the cob wafts down the street and mingles with the aroma of polish sausage being smoked on the grill. Ice cold lemonade, carmeled apples, spicy chicken shishkababs and fruit filled crepes are all characteristic fare for these community gatherings.
Neighbors greet each other and catch up while they stroll from tent to tent as they survey the wares.
I love looking through the original art work or chic sundresses. My BF can always be found browsing the CD's, DVD's or gadgets. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours and more than a couple of bucks.
Insider Tips:
- Take cash, the outdoor venue makes it a challenge to use credit cards.
- Treat yourself to a nice hot ear of roasted corn slathered in butter. MMMM. MMMM.
- Check out the NYC.gov website for a schedule of the New York City Street Fairs or try these links:

Militants Kill Health Workers in Pakistan
(ISLAMABAD) -- Gunmen believed to be affiliated with the Taliban murdered six people in Pakistan over a 24-hour period because they were part of a nationwide effort to vaccinate people against polio.
Four women were gunned down in Karachi on Tuesday while another woman was shot to death in the northwestern city of Peshawar. A day earlier, a man associated with the World Health Organization project was killed in Karachi.
The Taliban opposes the massive inoculation effort because the group believes it is actually an attempt to spy on enemies of the Pakistani government.
Militants have alleged that a doctor who was part of a hepatitis program gave the CIA information about the whereabouts of the late al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, which led to the raid on his compound in Abbottabad in May 2011.
WHO and the United Nations condemned the latest attacks, while Pakistani authorities have said they'll go after those responsible for threatening or killing health workers.
Pakistan is one of the few countries left in the world where polio is endemic.

by Chris and Sheree Geo
Beforeitsnews.com released a story this evening about the possible "house arrest" of Hillary Clinton. First of all, if this is true, that's like your parents sending you to your room. You have your XBox, DVD player, computer and all of the toys you can imagine. If they REALLY wanted to punish you, they'd send you to THEIR room!!
In all seriousness, the story doesn't seem to be based on any solid facts. There are no sources given for the article, nor are we able to find any references to anything like this happening anywhere! After a few minutes of following links, it is finally revealed to be written by some guy with a Myspace profile. We don't expect the mainstream media to cover a story like this, but one can't help but think back to last year when rumors of mass arrests of George Bush Sr. and Bill Gates began propagating the alternative airwaves.
These stories appear to recirculate themselves every few months or so to further cloud the truth and give people a false sense of "justice", only to let them down to the cold hard fact that these people are literally "above the law". We don't like it anymore than you do, but it seems to be the case! In 2009, a man in California stole a packet of donuts from a convenience store and was initially sentenced to 25 years to life under California's "Three Strikes Law" (it was eventually overturned on appeal), but when the banks steal trillions of dollars from the American people, or when Senomyx uses dead fetuses for flavor enhancement, it's all "business as usual" (according to the Obama Administration).
Back to the point: The article seems to repeatedly bring up Rand Paul as the answer to all of our problems and even comes equipped with a little chant for you to sing at home. This is the same Rand Paul who supported Mitt Romney during the 2012 elections and has a history of supporting Israel's genocidal agenda against the Palestinian people, paid for with your tax dollars (what's left of them after the banker heist, that is). Voting for Rand Paul because his last name is Paul is pretty much like supporting geoengineering because our last name is Geo.
However, given the incredulous nature of the story itself, and the fact that the only source it's coming from is a MySpace page (which is just as a reliable source of information as Fox News), this could be an attempt to fling a little monkey feces on Rand Paul (whatever is left after you wipe it off your eyes that is). This is based on the vulgar chant mentioned above:
No Bush, No Bitch,
No Bloomberg News, No CNN,
No Bitch, No Bush, No bank.
While I must admit, this is a pretty catchy tune and could be included as a chorus in one of my upcoming songs (actually, I write better lyrics than that, I'm just trying to make a point), the point is simply that a politician like Rand Paul wouldn't speak like this. Instead, he will tell you he is protecting your rights while smiling and doing the opposite.
However, if any information surfaces to the contrary of our analysis and initial report, you guys know that we at Truth Frequency are not afraid to change our analysis based on new information coming in.
So stay tuned!! If any of this information can be verified, you can rest assured that we will find out and let our readers and listeners know! The elites can't hide anything from the public, so with this (very likely) counterintelligence piece, they are just trying to muddy the waters so we don't see their crimes going on right in front of us!
"We are in an information war and we are losing that war. I'll be very blunt in my assessment"

Having problems with your HP Pavilion dv6000z Notebook ?

\015 Sound only works with headset. No longer comes out of internal computer speakers.\015
Answers :
If the sound is working through another device then it seems that the internal speakers are bad. Because if the sound card was bad you wouldn't have any sound whatsoever, same goes for drivers. Probably just some bad speakers. If you have some other external speakers try plugging them into the headphone port and see if that helps.

FC Barcelona started their Champions League game against APOEL with new looking midfield and coach Luis Enrique has defended his rotation policy by claiming that his players are not machines.
Gerard Pique scored the only goal of the match in the 28th minute through the header but fans were left unconvinced with the display of FC Barcelona as many had expected Messi and co. to run a riot against the Cypriots.
FC Barcelona has made excellent start to the season by winning all their competitive game till date by playing with Guardiola-style fluency but they struggled to maintain the tempo of the game in their Champions League opener. Luis Enrique made nine changes to the starting line-up which beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Saturday, but he said after the game that rotation is necessary to keep his squad in peak physical condition.
"I am sure that we will succeed with the help of all players," Enrique said in a press conference. "We have to analyse why the match was so difficult for us today.
"The players are not machines – players need to be fit – but we have to improve."
Claudio Bravo has been the keeper of first choice for Barcelona boss Luis Enrique so far but he opted to start yesterday's Champions League game with youngster Marc Andre Ter-Stegen and he defended his decision.
"I don't have one goalkeeper for each competition, I have three great goalkeepers".
FC Barcelona started the game with experienced midfielder Xavi Hernandez and he also accepted that his side did not perform according to the expectations.
"We struggled. We tried to move the ball quickly and we didn't manage that. We dominated, yes. We tried inside and outside but they closed down well", said FC Barcelona captain Xavi Hernández.
"We were a bit sluggish but we won and that's the main thing. To start well in the group phase, with three points is always good."
Meanwhile, Barcelona captain Xavi himself have become a part player under Luis Enrique but he said that he has no qualms about his new role. "I'm happy. When it's my turn to play I'll do what I can to be useful, when the coach needs me. I started the season with some niggles but I'm good now."
The Barcelona coach has adopted the policy of giving opportunities to La Masia youngsters and Xavi is very happy with this policy of Luis Enrique. "The footballers who are coming in have a lot of talent and we have a coach who puts his faith in youth. Luis Enrique is honest and brave and he doesn't look at your identity card when he picks the team."

Mexico Central Bank Tempers CPI Concerns in Holding Rate
Mexico's central bank left its benchmark interest rate at a record low, saying it may still raise rates if inflation doesn't ease while no longer specifying it could do so "soon."
The bank's board, led by Agustin Carstens, left the overnight lending rate at 4.5 percent for the 31st consecutive meeting today, after the economy in the third quarter grew at the slowest pace in more than a year and inflation slowed toward policy makers' target. Twenty-one out of 22 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expected the bank to stay on hold. One economist forecast a quarter point increase.
Annual inflation, which has remained above the central bank's 2 percent to 4 percent target range since June, slowed to 4.36 percent in the first half of November, in line with policy makers' expectations that a jump in farm prices is dissipating. Short-term risks to growth have increased "marginally" and annual inflation will "probably" end the year below 4 percent, the central bank said in its statement accompanying today's decision.
The central bank "was much more dovish on inflation in the statement today," said David Rees, an emerging markets economist at Capital Economics Ltd. in London. "We doubt growth is going to be strong enough to trigger any interest rate hikes" next year, he said.
Gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 1.82 percent in the third quarter as manufacturing expansion slowed on lower demand from the U.S.
Changed Language
"The recent reduction in inflation has been noteworthy," the central bank said in its statement. "If new shocks to inflation emerge, even if they are presumed to be temporary, and the trend shifts in general and core inflation aren't confirmed, the board thinks that an upward adjustment in the reference interest rate could be appropriate."
The bank had said in the statement accompanying its prior decision on Oct. 26 that if inflation doesn't ease, it could raise its benchmark rate "soon" for the first time since August 2008. Minutes from that decision released Nov. 9 showed that most policy makers thought that inflation probably peaked in September at 4.77 percent. The consumer price index slowed to 4.6 percent in October.
The central bank's tone remained hawkish today as it still referred only to the possibility of raising rates, according to Gabriel Casillas, the chief economist and head of research at Grupo Financiero Banorte SAB.
"The balance is still tilted to rate hikes," Casillas said in an e-mailed note to clients today. "Going forward, it is going to be important to watch for inflation, inflation expectations, and wage negotiations in order to keep gauging when Banxico could decide to restrict its monetary stance."
Mexico's economic growth eased in the third quarter as U.S. business investment slowed on concern Congress will fail to act in time to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff of $600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax increases.
"Even though it's an annual inflation targeter, the bank always has this balance of risks between growth and inflation," Gabriel Lozano, chief Mexico economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said in a telephone interview from Mexico City before the decision was announced. While "there is a sense that the next move should be upward," the growth risks "warrant a more cautious approach," he said.
Swap Rates
Mexico's peso rose 0.2 percent to 12.9213 per U.S. dollar at 11:43 a.m. in Mexico City. The peso has strengthened 7.9 percent against the dollar this year, the most among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. One-year swap rates dropped five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 4.91 percent, the lowest level on a closing basis since Nov. 16, according to the most recent data from JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Accelerating inflation, sparked by a bird flu outbreak and drought that drove up grain, egg and chicken prices, has affected companies including Grupo Bimbo SAB (BIMBOA), the world's largest bread-maker.
Bimbo said Oct. 25 that profit fell for a fourth consecutive quarter due in part to higher wheat costs, as well as expenses integrating Sara Lee's North American bakery business.
The only Group of 20 nation to leave borrowing costs unchanged and not step up asset purchases in the past three years will wait until January 2014 to raise rates by a quarter percentage point, according to a Citigroup survey of economists published Nov. 20.
"This is a central bank that still sees inflation and growth as skewed to the downside in the medium term," Rafael de la Fuente, an economist at UBS AG, said in a telephone interview from Stamford, Connecticut before the report. "Inflation has been coming down since October."

There will be another night of baseball as the 2011 World Series goes to a Game Seven! That's because Game Six turned from clumsy to classic. It all came down to a hometown hero and David Freese delivered.
Texas was running right out of the shoot. Ian Kinsler walked and advanced to third on a ball hit to left by Elvis Andrus, perhaps foreshadowing Matt Holliday's miserable night. Josh Hamilton followed suit with an RBI-single to right for a 1-0 lead. One wonders why Tony LaRussa with his notorious quick hook, in a must-win game, didn't pull some of his pitchers a lot faster.
St. Louis did respond in the home frame. With one on, Lance Berkman went deep to left-center and the Cardinals had a 2-1 advantage.
As Jaime Garcia got into more trouble, he was bailed out somewhat when opposing starter Colby Lewis grounded into a bunt double-play. However, with a runner still at second, Kinsler was able to scorch a ground-rule double to left-center and the Rangers regained the lead.
Moving along to the faux pas fourth, things got quite ugly. A miscommunication between Holliday and shortstop Rafael Furcal, resulted in Holliday butchering a routine fly ball to left off the bat of Nelson Cruz. Then Mike Napoli, as he has all series, capitalized with an RBI-single to right.
In the home frame, Texas' defense was equally shoddy. Lance Berkman reached on an error by Michael Young, compounded by the fact that Lewis missed the bag at first with his foot. Holliday walked and on a ground ball hit by David Freese, Holliday sent Andrus into orbit, preventing a double-play and allowing Berkman to come around and score.
If you liked that, there was plenty more poor defense in the fifth. Freese dropped a pop up off the bat of Hamilton at third and the Rangers were back at it again. Much like Napoli the previous inning, Young came through with an RBI-double to left, putting the Rangers up 4-3.
In the Cardinals sixth, Berkman picked up a single. Then Holliday reached on another error by Young at first. After Freese walked, Alexi Ogando was brought on and promptly walked Yadier Molina to tie it at four. Yet with the bases still packed and one down, Napoli gunned down Holliday before he could dive back to third. That was costly because Ogando then walked Nick Punto, but was able to retire John Jay and the Redbirds.
During the Rangers seventh, it was another case of the Cardinals leaving in a pitcher one inning too long. Cruz and Adrian Beltre clocked consecutive home runs off Lance Lynn and put Texas back on top at 6-4. The home run for Cruz was his eighth, a post-season record. With one down, David Murphy singled and was bunted over to second by pitcher Derek Holland. Then with two-down and Octavio Dotel on for the Cards, Kinsler came through again with an RBI-single to center, making it 7-4.
St. Louis would counter in the eighth, when Allen Craig connected for a solo shot off Holland, closing the gap to 7-5.
Then things got really wild in the ninth. Texas had closer Neftali Feliz on to clamp down the first championship in the franchise's 50 year history. It wasn't to be. Albert Pujols smacked a one-out double to left-center to get the Redbirds in business. After Berkman walked and Craig struck out, it was up to the St. Louis native Freese. Freese delivered with a game-tying two-run double off the wall in right, which eluded Cruz and the game was even at seven.
Although the Texas offense had an answer in the tenth. In another case of perhaps leaving a reliever in too long, Jason Motte slipped up in extras. Andrus reached with a one-out single to center. Following that, it was Josh Hamilton and his first home run of the playoffs to right-center and the Rangers jumped back in front at 9-7.
Then in a "you can't predict baseball" twist, St. Louis had another rally in them during the bottom frame. All of this with Daniel Descalso, Jon Jay and the pitcher's spot due up. So the Rangers brought in Darren Oliver and the unlikely became reality. Descalso notched a single to right to start it. A flare to left by Jay, had the Cards set up. Then Kyle Loshe nearly bunted his way on, if not for a quick thinking Andrus at short. Ryan Theriot grounded to deep third and Descalso came in to score. After Scott Feldman intentionally walked Pujols, it was up to Berkman. That's when Berkman came through, lifting a game-tying hit to center and it was all knotted at nine.
One inning later the Cards were back to finish it. In the eleventh now, with Mark Lowe on for the Rangers, it was on the shoulders of the hometown hero Freese. Leading off the inning, Freese came through, crushing a solo walk-off shot to dead center and the Cardinals defeated the Rangers in Game Six 10-9.
In making their comeback, the Cardinals became the first team in World Series history to score a run in the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh. Incredible. Now it's on to Game Seven in St. Louis on Friday.

A long road to recovery for scorched bushland
After almost three months of continuous fire fighting in the Wollemi National Park, the National Parks and Wildlife Service says it'll take a long time for the burnt bushland to recover.

The Wollemi National Park, near Lithgow, has been hit hard by bushfires this summer.
In October last year, the State Mine Fire ripped through the area, bringing with it the start of a three month fire fighting campaign for the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) against numerous blazes in the nature reserve.
"In terms of total area burnt, this is certainly up there as one of the worst summers," says David Crust, the Mudgee Area Manager for the NPWS.
"It's been a very big season."
The State Mine Fire started near Lithgow on October 16th 2013, and burnt east into the Blue Mountains.
It was one of the largest fires in recent New South Wales history, burning over 55,000ha of land.
While only three homes and a few sheds were lost, the blaze caused major disruption and destruction for nearly two weeks.
Three blazes are still being fought in the Wollemi National Park, and have burnt some 69,000ha of rugged terrain.
David says the National Park has been affected by fire that has ranged in intensity.
"The fires have generally been a real mosaic of fire intensity and that's been a good thing from a biodiversity point of view.
"Typically, every three to four years depending on seasonal conditions, we will have a big fire season."
David says it will take a while for the bush to fully regenerate and recover from the infernos.
"Fires are a natural process. Australian vegetation and Australian fauna has evolved and adapted to deal with fire. In some ways, fire is a really important part of that regeneration process.
"What is a problem is fire that is too frequent or too intense. We have to make sure that we manage those fire regimes, so that areas aren't getting burnt on a regular basis. That's really the key to it."
Some parts of the Wollemi National Park have received a sprinkling of rain in recent months, giving the bush a tinge of green.
But David says a lot of the region is in desperate need of rain, and if some doesn't arrive soon, the threat of bushfires will linger for a while longer.
"Things are just so incredibly dry and we haven't seen conditions like this for a long time.
"There are still large areas of the park that are still available to be burnt, and if we get multiple lightning strikes, we'll be back into it in full swing."
David Crust spoke to ABC Central West Mornings presenter Angela Owens.

Zakaria Bakkali is not a popular figure at PSV at present.
PSV's breakthrough player of last season is currently being forced to train with the club's reserves after a contract dispute turned sour.
Zakaria Bakkali hit headlines at the start of 2013/14 with a hat-trick in the Eredivisie, winning a call-up to the Belgian national side.
The 18-year-old was subsequently linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid, but saw his form dip towards the end of the season and lose out on a place in Marc Wilmots' World Cup squad.
With a contract expiring in 2015, PSV fear losing the talent on a free, and feel his head has been turned by his rapid rise to stardom, and the club are taking action.
Belgian news outlet HLN.be report: "He refuses to extend his contract. As long as he does not, he is not welcome at the A squad."
PSV manager Phillip Cocu adds: "The ball is with him. We have clearly stated what the reason is."
It is not a good way for the teenage talent to begin a season, one which is clearly an important one for him.
If he remains ostracised, and not given a platform to consistently showcase his talent this coming year, clubs said to be queuing up to sign Bakkali on a free may dwindle and leave him with far less exciting options to sign next summer.
What was evident last season was that despite being a player of outstanding potential, he remains a raw prospect, one who needs time to develop and regular football.
PSV is the perfect stage to do that, and pushing too hard to make the jump too soon could prove to be a big mistake.

Is War a Solution To Every Problem
A war, apparently seems a little word of these letter but its effects are always harmful. It brings the destruction which can not be compensated for many years.War is not the solution of every problem. No peaceful mind wants war. None likes to be always in danger of dying. No-ne wants to put the life of one's children into danger. War should always be avoided unless it becomes inevitable. Peace is always loved by God as well as the innocent people.
The Bible says,
Blesses are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.
War brings nothing but destruction may dive one success but at the cost of the blood of many innocent people. Then how can it be a good thing? War is never loved by anyone. War is never cheap or easy. A German poet said,
On the wall in chalk is written
"They want war"
He who wrote it has already fallen.
For some people , war is the symbol of power but it is not so. They powerful may torture the weak but in fact, he is showing his weekness in doing so. I believe that only the peaceful are strong. Peace is the supreme power, nt war. Peace is the musing mother to the land.
War is the conspiracy of our leaders who themselves don't participate in war. It is the public who has to give sacrifices. If war is really a good idea, why done these leaders themselves come and fight on the front.
Jaun Pail says,
War shoud belong to tragic past, in the history. It should find no place on humanity's agenda for the future.
War is always a terrible idea to think , this idea should never be put into action. War is never pleasent. Problems should be solved by negotiating. We should never fear to negotiate which is the better solution to every problem.
A very well said fact,
Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.
War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity. It destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. It destroys everything,Its horrible,Its terrible, Its condemmable.
