Though the chaos of the 4 legendary beasts, the power of HOukou, and all other kinds of shit when down around Asura to the point that he couldn't tell what was happening. The sealing power that bound his jutsu and other forms cut off his powers indefinitely. Finally in the chaos there was one final 'boom' and it all went quiet.
Asura had been forced to the ground on his knees and his hands over his head-- the only thing he could to protect himself from the madness of jutsu that exploded around him. As he reered his had up, he soon found himself beside Hayabusa-- and the Four Cardinals around them. He quickly got back to his feet and reached for his sword-- till he heard the words of the turtle cardinal.
Asura's eyes widened as he heard of them talking about to stop the battle. "WHAT?!" Asura shouted, his fury overriding his exhaustion. "Are you kidding me?! You bring us here with the intent to slaughter our allies, pull all this crap, negate every attempt to fight for our lives-- thinking you were gonna kill us now that you had us almost slaughtered, you call it off?! What the hell, you rat-bastards!"
Before Asura would speak up more-- the sudden feeling of arms restrianed him as his two Tiger Summons stopped him from attacking the cardinals. "HEy! Let me go!" He shouted-- but was soon silenced by the twin tiger's paws covering his mouth to muffle him.
"Eh, pardon him. He had a rough day," Chigatsumi said.
"Yeah, not really in his right mind. All the fire I think cooked his brain," Bloody mist answered next, holding his paw over Asura's mouth and only his angry muffles escaping.
After a moment, Asura resigned and sighed as he accepted the conditions. Hayabusa surrendered, and so did Asura by default. "This is not gonna end well, is it?" he sighed, afraid of what would happen next.

+ The cardinals Suzaku, Seiryu, and Byakko were left still on the ground out like the darkness swallowing the night sky as the new moon would be out. They remained still as the black tortoise cardinal member, Genbu would here the voices of the warriors that he had seen battling the one with the powers of a bijuu and the rinnegan mixed was interesting to him none the less. But the stares came closer as he continued to study over them before long the loud sound of the young male's voice was fired like a machine gun shooting round after round of words to prove his anger and rage at the cardinal's actions. +
"You're correct Hayabusa, but you see I know more as well and I have seen more, while you all continued to battle I showed you my powers just a while ago…but during the battle against Suzaku and Seiryu what made you think your leaders did not come."
+ A devilish smirk appeared across his face before retuning back to an emotionless expression. That is true he created living breathing copies of himself with the max thus far of only ten on the field but he did not battle the entire time the reason was now simple as to why the Kage's did not appear for battle. +
"I challenged them already and they lost, while you were all fighting I was able to see your leaders. Why do you think I never entered the battle? Hmm, Its actually quite similar to that of your Rinnegan's ability. I already dealt with your leaders and gave them the same choice as I'm giving you. It did not take all four us to battle you even if we did battle fairly our powers are rather different than yours as you know we are in the Land of the Dragon, Seiryu is too nice for her own good however she could've ended you in one blow but did not. I on the other hand would have just ended you both where you stood before this all started but I had other plans to deal with."
+ The man stared at each one of them before he heard the surrendering of Hayabusa and then the young male Asura and his summons. He nodded too them turning away before saying, "In that case…you're all my enemies." With that slight whisper his powers would rush to affecting them having to which they'd black out and would not know about it within the next few hours that had passed they would ended up in a large palace with a maid coming in to awaken them both. The female wore what seemed like a long green skirt and a lightly colored blue robe over her body with a plain silk cyan shirt under it.
"Excuse me, sirs…please awaken now you mustn't be late for the meeting."
+ The maid would have clean clothing for each of them to place on as it would seem to be citizen clothing. Shortly a knock was at the door before it would swing open having two figures standing in the doorway. From which the two figures came into view showing them to be Byaku and Teruko. The white tiger cardinal would take a step forward to speak clearly. +
"Hmm, seems you all had goodnights rest, welcome to the West Palace of the Dragon. The meeting is about to begin down in the Seiryu chambers which is down the hall to your left after which about thirty feet to the right you will see two large doors we shall see you all there to talk and discuss everything."
+ After speaking they both turned shutting the door taking their leave swiftly. +
I shall post after you all have posted.
Occupation[s] : Crafter of Chakra-infused items (weapons and items), fisherman
The tension in the air got worse as soon the genbu warrior spoke how he had fought their leaders already-- the kage overwhelmed by the cardinal's power. Even with his mouth shut, Asura's eyes betrayed his emotion as he glared at them. No way.... How was it possible that the 5 kage-- even his own village's kage would be backed down by the force of just one of these people! It was not possible.
Before he could protest-- the turtle cardinal turned away and said 'they were all his enemies... and all went dark.
Asura snapped his eyes open and found himself in a lavish oriental palace along with Hayabusa. His summons, Chigatsumi and Bloody Mist were gone-- most likely recalled back to their jungle the moment they were 'attacked' . The moment he regained his senses, he shot up into a sitting position and looked around. "WHAT THE HELL?!" he yelled like an alarm clock.
It was then he saw the rather cute looking handmaiden who had delivered them fresh clothing for them, and other goods to help them seem more comfortable. Asura still struggled to figure out what was going on. However, he heard the call of the other cardinals as they peeked in through the door.
Asura put on his new tunic and Teruko and Byakku appeared to tell them to follow them. Asura didn't say anything but gave a dirty look at the two cardinals. The look said, "one of these days, I'll get even with you just for the hell of it!"
Once Asura and Hayabusa would be ready, he followed their intructions and stood before the large doors. He turned to Hayabusa, a frown still on his face. "PLease tell me I am not the only one sour that we had our asses handed two us by four... single... people... Just what the hell are they? Kaguya didn't even seem that bad!" he grumbled aloud. He didn't have a clue how they were able to do what they could-- but it was one mystery Asura was burning to figure out.
Hayabusa listened to the man's words. The fact that he had defeated all of the kage on his own, if it had been truth, astounded him. Hayabusa had just begun to actually grasp the concept of Rinnegan's shared vision and it's extents… but he had only permanently extended himself to one other path. He found himself fantasizing on more…
He heard his claim to the potential ending in one blow; Hayabusa didn't believe it. Not just due to pride, but confidence in his own ability. However, he had surrendered to the enemy, which means that he had absolutely no place to argue his point, nor would it make a difference.
Moments later, he had been officially defeated, before awoken what seemed like moments later in day light. He looked over at Asura. He looked around for the closest mirror, testing his Sharingan to see if they still were within his body.
"Hmmm… these people are beginning to intrigue me so much more by the minute. Let's get dressed… we're alive, so that's good. " Hayabusa got dressed, leaving all of his noncritical belongings where they were. It was then the two had appeared. It seemed the battle was over; the battle before seemed to have meant nothing to them, which in turn, meant little to him, as far as taking things personal goes. A learning experience…
"Thank you…" he said, content with no expression. He looked at Asura.
"Four of them. Two of us. One in which claims he defeated all Kage alone. My pride is hurt, Asura… but this failure will only be that of an enlightening learning experiences and fuel to excel beyond my current limits… let's go see what our hosts have in store… I'm very intrigued…" and with that, he walked to the meeting…

+ The sun would shine through the windows creating different colors within the main chamber as the four cardinals gathered together with them taking a seat in their respected chairs but the middle chair would have show the female with a light blue dress and cyan jewels sitting in the center with her eyes closed. Before long she would slowly speak to the cardinals before the young men would show. +
"We have completed everything as to the master's will. The question of knowing the future is still unknown even to myself as you all know I can only see so far...unlike, "him." So if this truth is possible to believe...we must have it all set for the threats to come the following 3 years will prove harsh for us my family."
+ Everyone nodded softly as they turned their attentions to the doors hearing them opening slowly with the figures standing within the light. The female waved her hand for them to come closer and take a seat within the meeting. +
"Please...take a seat in front of us so we can begin the meeting and talk about our future...and by our future I mean the future of the human race..."
+ The room would fill with pressure of the pause for the new threat that seemed to be coming was not from the Shishin country, but from the place that nobody would expect. As the threat would be explained next and what everyone is getting ready to prepare for it.+
The gathering of the 4 cardinals, and the mysterious woman in the center brought mixed feelings to Asura. One feeling was the thrill to be in the presence of such beautiful women who he wished he could have all to himself... then again, he was also pissed that two of them had tried to kill him in the past 24 hours. They had lost comrades and were forced into a situation that was less than deplorable. Asura was in no mood for pleasantries at the moment. It took all of his self-control to keep from calling them bitches.
That would no doubt get him killed, inside their own home at that.
A puff of air escaped him as he marked further into the room with Hayabusa. He still had his katana at his side, which he held on to for his own security.
Asura sat down in one of the free chairs with his hands placed firmly on his knees, a firm frown on his face as he glanced at all the others around him. Though he didn't know who the woman was in the center, he glared at the other cardinals.
"Forgive my lack of manners in this palace, but would you please tell us what the hell is going on already?" Asura said in a calm but angry tone. "Many people died in this little game of yours, so you can imagine my patience is a bit thin. Future or not, I think you owe us an explanation, and let me tell you... it better be a good one."
Though his voice was edged on fury, Asura kept seated and as calm as possible. Still even now his fingers tapped impatiently on his knees, his desire for the news to be made clear and this affair over with.

Hayabusa entered as well, admiring the scenery and observing all aspects and details of the environment in which they were in. He entered as summoned, slightly bowing to the group, mainly directed towards the female in the center, cutting eyes at Kayo mid bow, and return upright before taking his seat. He let Asura speak, sensing the anger of his tone increasing with each word.
"Calm yourself, Asura… we are in the presence of royalty, and guests in their home…" he said, looking at him, before turning back to the five. "Or prisoners, maybe slaves… I haven't fully verified exactly what circumstances in which we are still here, but I do think that's what we are here to find out, isn't it, your highness?" he did understand Asura's anger. People died; people's fathers and sons, mothers and daughters… in what seemed to be a game. But, he was also aware that they all knew what they were in for when they stepped on that boat. Perhaps, it was less of a game, and more a test of some sort. An altered method of recruitment…
"I humbly ask… why are we here?" he asked.

+ The four cardinals arose from their seats hearing the outburst from Asura however they calmed down when hearing Hayabusa telling him to keep calm. That moment each of them took a sit calmly but it was not long before Teruko would smile to speak.
"Aw, is the poor little brat upset still about how he couldn't beat us all by himself. Aw would you like for me to get your mommy for you? I'm sure she can...(sudden pause as she noticed the priestess turning to look at her.) "I-I'm sorry...ma'am..."
+ The others remained quiet as the female in the dress would stand slowly bowing to the guests that she had calm into her home. +
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you honestly Asura and Hayabusa, I'm priestess Kayo Seiryu, and you have already met my daughter in the battlefield already Hayabusa. Now the answers you seek are here indeed but please know you are not our prisoners nor slaves. We have you here at the moment as guests. You see, there is an issue that we must address that I have for seen and know of how both of you played a part in it. The man Uchiha Mantan rings a lot of bells i'm sure, he was killed...but sadly he's still alive as well. Another man that has Uchiha blood in him is wondering the shinobi world as we speak with the help of Orochimaru I do not need to explain whom he is.
But what you must know is he is actually on this continent why I'm unsure of, but there is a threat that I fear to becoming as you know the Rinnegan came from the people of the Otsutsuki clan...Well it would seem the entire clan...is coming back home once again. We knew of these day but was unsure Hayabusa...your eyes will not be able to defeat them alone...even my...Rinnegan is not strong enough to deal with the threat that is coming...so we set this up to see if everyone would be ready and to see if someone had obtain the powers of a Rinnegan and it seemed we were right. Now I plan to ask would you both help us in fighting or getting ready for this threat. We can only see so far into the future but we are blocked because of this threat that clouds our vision."
+ The four cardinals awaited everyone's answer as they turned to glance at the center of the table at the priestess. +
Teruko's taunt nearly made Asura wanted to jump his seat and strangle her. His blood was boiling after the hell of a fight and wanted to get her back at that-- but it seemed the princess of the palace had a hand over things as well. It was enough to make her just glance at Teruko-- and she shut up. Asura too controlled himself but still, it was both tempting to beat her up but funny to see her put in her place with just a glance.
Still, it must imply the Princess was extremely powerful too...
Finally, they got down to buisness. Asura couldn't tell what Hayabusa was thinking-- but the biggest surprise came in soon. Mantan Uchiha was alive. The words hit Asura like a sack of bricks to the face.
"... What?" Asura said with a calm but exclamation tone.
Mantan Uchiha... the person who worked to try and rewrite history. In Asura's original time line, he went on a mission to stop this monster from rewriting history and taking control of the ninja war when the 10 tails was revived. Even worse, he aided in the 'death' of him when he was transformed into Kaguya. Since then, he should of been destroyed without a trace. And now he learned the bastard was alive and among them on the countinent.
"You have GOT to be kidding me?! I was thrown through time and space after that asshole and your telling me he still survived?!" Asura soon stopped himself-- realizing he couldn't share so much. So he just cleared his throat and shook his head. "I-I mean, I had some... experience with him, but I was sure he was dead... there is no way he could of survived." Asura said nothing more on the topic. Would they of even believed him?
The mention of the entire clan's return was another surprise, which Asura couldn't quite understand. It was one factor he didn't know-- but what didn't come up easily, was that the princess also had the Rinnegan too-- which made Asura sigh.
"Seriously?! You too?" Asura groaned and sulked his head in a mix of disbelief and envy. "You got to be kidding me? Just how many of you inherited the legacy of the Sage of Six Paths? That's so not fair..." Asura's admiration for the Sage of Six paths drove him to become a ninja-- but also to know that both Hayabusa and now this royal figure also had the same Rinnegan, it made Asura pained with envy.
His envy aside, he lifted his head up and tried to process all that was said. There were still things he didn't know and needed to clarify on. "Well first off-- who is this Orochimaru exactly? I don't know him from the literature, and why is he such a perpetual thorn in our sides? "
That last question was the only one still lingering. Though the methods were extreme at best, the priestess made clear that an even worse threat was before them. "Even worse than all four of you combine? I mean with all the power you had, this really is that bad?"
A sigh escaped Asura as he gripped the base of his Katana's sheath. "Well... if someone like me can be of help to you guys... I guess I can try. Not sure what you guys can pull compared to someone who inherited the Sage of Six Path's powers... " There was no doubt Asura would commit to the task-- but his envy stemmed in inadequacy compared to his peers. Bad enough he was a rogue ninja from his village that betrayed his master, but he now served the Akatsuki with a man with the said power of the same sage.
Compared to Hayabusa, what good was Asura as he was now?

His face twitched at the sound of Mantan being alive. He looked over at Asura, preparing to mention how he said he killed him.
"Mantan… Orochimaru…" the comment of 'the man he seeks' the young Kayo made earlier had been confirmed. "He is one of Orochimaru's after all… I can't say that this totally surprises me…" he looked at Asura as he questioned the identity of Orochimaru. "Orochimaru… he's one of the greatest scientists to have ever lived… and died… numerous times. Inspiration in some cases, questionable in others. He had been one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha in the Second Shinobi War. Trained by the Third Hokage. He trained one of my great uncles, Sasuke, for a time… He became a traitor to Konoha, and had been almost completely diminished by one of my great grandfathers. Didn't stay dead long though… Uchiha Sasuke revived him. In turn, Orochimaru aligned himself with my uncle during the Third Shinobi war, against the threat of Kaguya of the clan in question. I thought he may have turned over a new leaf in one of his life times. I thought perhaps he had remained loyal to my uncle. That, I'm unsure of… but Sasuke is long gone now, so I suppose the debt had been paid. I wouldn't have believed he could break barriers to demi-immortality had I not met him myself….." he then sat up in his chair, finishing his history lesson. "Seems his obsession with my clan has only gotten stronger upon the official discovery that Rinnegan develops from Mangekyou Sharingan… at the time that was not knowledge even all the Uchiha knew.
But… he helped defeat Kaguya. So to revive her clan… I've studied him for a long time. Idolized him for a period. Psychologically analyzed what I could of him. And, I have to say… this doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem like him. Either he has a bigger plan here; a means of controlling the clan and its powers; or worse, he's no longer in control. I couldn't imagine Orochimaru submitting to anybody else's rule. Either way… of course I would need a full scope of what we're dealing with. However, if this is as you say it is, Orochimaru is becoming a threat to my people, and Mantan a traitor to the clan, and I will fight against them…"
+ The priestess would nod to the men softly as she turned attention's over to Asura for a brief second. Answering a bit of the questions from the young boy. +
"Actually Hayabusa's and my own Rinnegan are rather different, you see he obtained it during evolution of his sharingan. Mine on the other hand, were given to me by our golden king, Omni for he was the one that came to our continent defeating also sealing the great dragon of destruction to which these eyes were born but also the armors of the four cardinals."
"The information you have also Hayabusa is slightly off, Kaguya was revived during the Fourth shinobi war as the third was the one the where the yellow flash was around during that time frame and even earned that named. The man we know to be Orochimaru may not be him, as we noticed another figure with them. The Uchiha Mantan we must understand what he's up to more or less and also track down another shinobi that could be dangerous to us as well. But we have no other information besides they are from Iwa. So gentlemen we will allow you to travel back and forth through our countries but we ask that you give us time to get clearance. Is that okay?"
+ She would stand slowly with her eyes closed as she kept her hands overlapping each other waiting with a smile on her face.+
(OOC: Omni come on-- your killing us!! Are we almost done? This has gone on for MONTHS! >< Please lets wrap this up?)
"The golden dragon...?" Asura breathed, both in question and curiosity. He looked to the armors and the priestess-- he had a strange curiosity to them. "This may be a stretched, but your armors-- the powers you had, is that some how similar to the tailed beasts of our country? "
Asura had a natural interest and desire to inherit the power of a tailed beast-- but these forms, these creatures, might show more potential than Asura thought. However, he kept that to himself. He had no love for the cardinals-- but he didn't wish to just carelessly kill to inherit power. Still he kept that to himself.
He leaned back and swung a leg over his knee. "Actually, I think I'll stay in your country for a while. I am looking for some friends who live here anyway. Bloody Vale Jungle-- the land of tigers, you might know of them? Anyway, if its cool with you, ill just hang out here for a while. " he said. He couldn't return easily to the land of the 5 great nations anyway being a rogue, so it might be a better use of his time.
A whole new country to explore was worth time away.
"Ah, yes. Slip of the tongue. My apologies. Mind overwhelming with both historic and newly acquired knowledge." He said. He could not believe he made such a mistake. Could it have been that his mind had begun to overload with not only the memories of his own and knowledge he had obtained but the memories and thoughts of those whom have been absorbed with his use of Rinnegan? He pushed the idea to the back of his mind for now. He may need to find some mind expansive exercises to perform in the future to help compartmentalize…
"Well, I don't know much about them. I've run into one of his men before… had a staff of some sort that had powers very much like those of the Princess…" he said, referring to the daughter in which he fought earlier. "One touch, and he knows all he wants to know through physical contact. Other than that, all intel would be appreciated… you obviously know how to be in touch with me. If needed I could go to Iwa and see what information I can dig up. I'd just need to know where to start." he said. He took pride knowing that his Rinnegan had been earned rather than handed down. It would be interesting to see this Doujutsu in action. Come to think of it, it was interesting to think abou tall the new discoveries of this new land, and the right given to them to come and go freely.
"I do have one question…" he looked at the man who actually took them down with his techniques that used turtles. "Your comment about the Kages… did you really defeat them before they reached us? Or was that just a blush to throw me off? Because, if they were truly on this continent, why aren't they at this meeting?" he wondered. His answer would be critical on what actions he would take upon returning home. He knew convincing the whole Shinto Continent of the impending threat was going to be difficult. All he could do was work in the shadows and light at once to make sure they were all prepared…
(OOC: We are actually at the ending as soon as you guys make these last posts we are finished.)
+ Hearing over the talk about the information being crossed the priestess would nod to him figuring something may be wrong or the overuse of a technique causing the mix of information. Before long though it seemed Asura's questions came into play as the priestess nodded to answer. +
"Yes and no, unlike the Bijuus where they must be sealed within one to become its host, the Armors must be warn to become the host but if the user dies. The soul of the wearer is sealed within the armor. This is to counter the effects of calling the soul for the pure lands."
+ The black tortises user turned his attention's over towards Hayabusa answering his question. +
"No Hayabusa I defeated your Kages back on their homelands, they never made it here. Our powers are completely different as a Kages power is not truly almighty unlike a few of us. However we are not immortals why do you wish to know?"
+ Before long Kayo would smirk only to tilt her head saying softly to them. +
"Planning on overthrowing your Kazekage and taking control of Suna?"
+ She smiled before getting up walking away from the table before the priestess smiled lightly at them all before nodding standing up slowly. +
"Either way gentlemen I have given you the information on the threat what you do with it is completely up to you. Asura I do not mind you staying on this continent but be aware that our laws are fairly different than your homeland. Hayabusa, If you truly want to be proud of the Rinnegan that I suggest you completely master it as you only scratched the paint from it. But this concludes the meeting if you all would like there is a boat willing to take you back to continent if not you are more welcome to stay within the Dragon Country. I shall bit you all a farewell."
+ She would suddenly vanish leaving nothing but a empty chair as the other cardinals stood up turning to walk out the double doors that allowed them to come in. With the meeting ending the new threat and new information of the man that is known as Mantan Uchiha appeared once again. The Uchiha seem to be playing are large role into something something bigger. Orochimaru, Mantan and the unknown man that was with them. +
(Ending of Event after you all post, also a sneak peek for upcoming things.)
The news about the mysterious new creatures of this country-- even the dangers that now loomed in the future, still fascinated Asura. After spending time as a rogue ninja, it gave him an opportunity to explore this mysterious new land-- the home where his tiger summons originated from. For the time being, Asura was quiet and listened to the rest of them. he had more questions than answers. They even mentioned OMni-- the smart ass deity that had accompanied the Rikudo Sage himself and who gave him Omniscience in the first place.
A long drawn out breath escaped Asura as he allowed his blood to cool off and his head to process what he learned. The laws here were something to consider-- but the rebel Asura was, he had issues with authority. As would any rogue ninja would. With no small influence that Ravana had on him. ALl he could do was take it with a grain of salt-- because Asura was not one to easily obey what these people said. He would help, and repel any danger that threatened people-- but their methods were far from pure. It was hypocritical in his eyes-- no different than the crimes Iwa's elder-- Deus-- did to him and his master.
The priestess vanished and soon the cardinals turned to leave. "Till we meet again I guess.. and believe me, this is far from over..." Asura said in a grudged voice to the cardinals.
Either way, he now had many things to occupy his time now-- to grow stronger, and learn about the powers and culture of this new land. If anything, he hoped it would help him become strong too... and help him reach a peak of power he felt he could become... something to come close to Hayabusa, the cardinals--- and help him become more than an ant among these giants. His dream to become closer to the Sage of Six Paths, became far more daunting as he now understood the legacy that the Uchiha had possessed.
The envy Asura felt for his ally was growing and he fought to deny it. He had to become stronger for many reasons now, or drown in the despair that came to be overshadowed.
He finally rose up to his feet and gripped his sword. "So, Hayabusa... your heading back to Dream Island? But I meant what I said. Since I am wanted, might as well explore here and find something new. I may be able to make a new home here... but keep in touch with me okay?" he offered. HE didn't give him direct eye contact, the realization just how strong and the tailed beast he had, made it hard for Asura to look at him without feeling angry. He held no real hatred for Hayabusa , but he couldn't deny the feelings he had. "So... guess I'll see you later. And ... thanks for keeping me alive through this bullshit..."
He turned to leave out the door of the palace, but turned once more. "Oh one more thing-- you tell the others about the puppet string thing you did to me, your a dead man. Got it?" More in jest than an actual threat, but it was the best Asura could to lighten the mood.
With it, they left to return to their lives-- slightly changed and enlightened. The threat of Mantan was above Asura's head and wonder just how he survived being transformed into Kaguya... but he would get the answers. If nothing else, the real reason he choose to stay on this continent-- was to track down Mantan and this time kick his ass properly...

Though his mind was in an overload, he did his best to remember all the critical information about the armor in which had been used against them. He got the answer.
"No… while we were all fighting, I had noticed all of their absence. As far as the Kazekage… For the second time, I had been at the spearhead of a battle in which involved our whole continent, yet I had yet seen his intervention. I hadn't even had the chance to confront him for the first… I figured that if he had indeed abandoned us, I would return as his competitor and yes…" he said as he looked at Kayo "overthrow him. However… I am reconsidering this. There may be now an alternative path… Regardless, I will become a Kage and prepare people for this threat." Hayabusa nodded, as they all stood.
"I will see myself home…" as the priestess vanished and the others walked out, he watched them walk away. He had been calm and humble, but there had been a part of him that boiled. Indirectly, people DIED so that he could be recruited into a larger threat. Hayabusa turned to Asura.
"To Dream Island is it for me… I need to go into exile for a little while. I have a little bit of soul searching and fine tuning to do. Anyway… be careful out here. If you learn of anything critical, I would love to hear about it. Keep your Gesshoku mask nearby. I may need to have a team meeting soon.

A Closer Look at Spain's Garnacha Wines From Aragon
By	Steve Mirsky Dec. 16th, 2016
The Aragon region of Spain is filled with castles, cathedrals, monasteries, and UNESCO World Heritage sites dotting the Pyrenees foothills and the bustling city of Zaragoza. In addition to being a major cultural and agricultural powerhouse, Aragon's vineyards are renowned not only for their Tempranillo but for increasing Garnacha's popularity.
This is the land where Garnacha cultivation began in Roman times yet was under siege by market forces until the 1990s when Aragon vineyards banded together forming the five Designations of Origin (DOs) of Somontano, Campo de Borja, Cariñena, Calatayud and Terra Alta. Tired of watching French vintners growing their namesake heritage grapes for prestigious labels like Gigondas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Vacqueyras, they developed a plan to reclaim their heritage.
First DO members had to resist the temptation to uproot their gnarled heritage vines ranging in age from 40 to over 100 years that each yielded, on average, a measly two pounds of grapes. This was particularly challenging since farmers were being offered EU subsidies to rip them out to raise more profitable crops like almonds, olives, avocados, and other more market-oriented grapes. Next, members determined that many of the inferiorities plaguing their Garnachas, like quick oxidation and mediocre flavors, resulted from their grapes being a commodity rather than specialty heirlooms showcasing their unique, richly-concentrated expressions.

I firmly believe that distinctive cuisine and life-changing travel experiences are best savored by those driven by curiosity rather than solely on the recommendations of wine connoisseurs, gourmands, and jet setters. Classic hotels, signature boutique properties, and epic dining experiences provide some of the best opportunities for an authentic introduction to new cultures and cuisine. I shar...(Read	More)

Google fixes Gmail iOS app but users still critical
Company has rolled out an updated version of its Gmail iOS app after the first contained a major bug, but many users are still unhappy with the app's limitations.

Google's Gmail app is still getting shot down by unhappy users. Screenshot by CNET
Google's latest update to its Gmail iOS app fixes a glitch in the first version, but many users are still giving the app a collective thumbs-down over its limited functionality.
Released yesterday, the new 1.0.2 version of Gmail for iOS squashes the original bug that broke notifications and displayed an error message upon launch. The update also sizes images from HTML messages so that they properly fit the screen.
Users still running the original version are advised to uninstall or at least log out of it before installing the new version.
The app now launches smoothly without errors, and it displays a standard Gmail interface with folders and categories on the left and a list of each e-mail header on the right. iPad users can take advantage of the larger screen to view the categories, e-mail headers, and each selected e-mail all at the same time.
A glance at the app's page in the iTunes Store now reveals more positive ratings and comments than the original received. But a fair number of users remain highly critical.
Many are complaining about the limited notification functionality. The app does support badge notifications, which display the number of unread messages on the app's icon. It also supports sound notifications, which will alert you when a new e-mail pops up in your inbox. But there are no options to receive visual notifications, such as Banners or Alerts.
Others are dinging the app because it doesn't support multiple Gmail accounts, while some find the app too slow.
Google unveils, then yanks, Gmail app for the iPhone
Looks like Google borked its first iPhone Gmail app
Once-buggy Gmail app for iOS returns to the App Store
In general, though, users seem critical because the app still seems unnecessary.
Gmail iOS users can already fully access and manage their e-mail on the go using the mobile site or by setting up an account through the iOS Mail, Contacts, and Calendars feature on their mobile device. I access my Gmail account directly on my iPhone and iPad, and that option has always worked well. I can even set up the fully array of notifications, both audible and visual, which I can't do with the dedicated app.
In response, Google has acknowledged the feedback and the requests for features such as improved notifications and multiple accounts. In a blog post yesterday, the company said the new app is just getting started and promised to add the requested features and more in future updates.
The app is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, and requires iOS 4.0 or higher.

"A great privilege, but an even greater responsibility.
That is what it means to be involved in architecture."
or do we, in spite of all its sacrifices, scar it even more?"
Better details make better buildings.
Founded in 2008, we are a young architectural practice, based in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga. One of the advantages of being small is that our clients are sure to get personal attention. We love people, our planet, buildings, and even more to mix them up to create new dwellings.
While design is our most loved stage of the project, we especially pride ourselves in solving detail aspects of buildings at early stages of the project.
This trait saves the client, architect, fellow consultants and contractors a lot of stress during construction. It also saves the client money, and protects the clients interests in the long run. Better details make better buildings.
optimise the above to present a product that exceeds the client's expectations, budget permits.
A great privilege, but an even greater responsibility - That is what it means to be involved in architecture. This privilege and responsibility is, however, not limited to the architect, but pertains to all parties involved in the building process, especially the client. When we build buildings, we change the natural landscape permanently.
We take resources from mother earth, transforms it under heat and pressure while consuming huge quantities of energy and combines them to suit our requirements.
We have to therefore ask the question: Are we making the world a better place with our buildings, or do we, in spite of all its sacrifices, scar it even more?
One cannot be against littering, and commit bad buildings. We need to make the best use of these natural resources, and celebrate it by using it in a responsible manner.

High Drama Vote in the Senate on Debt Limit
Roll Call: Senate Votes to Send Debt Limit to Obama With Help From Republican Leaders (Updated)
By Steven DennisPosted at 2:56 p.m. today
Updated 4:14 p.m. | The Senate voted to send a one-year debt limit suspension to President Barack Obama's desk Wednesday, after a high-drama cliffhanger that ended when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted "aye" to end a filibuster.
The Senate voted 67-31 to end a filibuster on the legislation threatened by tea party firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in a vote that took nearly an hour to complete as senators wrestled with their decision. The Senate then voted 55-43 to pass the bill with a simple majority threshold.
McConnell and Cornyn voted to cut off debate when the measure appeared stuck just short of the 60 votes needed.
A dozen Republicans voted with Democrats in all, most in a clump after McConnell and Cornyn led the way: John Barrasso of Wyoming, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, Mike Johanns of Nebraska, Mark S. Kirk of Illinois, John McCain of Arizona, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and John Thune of South Dakota.
Cruz forced the 60-vote threshold, putting his fellow Republicans on the hot seat as they had to choose between a filibuster — potentially leading to the nation's first ever default and a government shutdown — and putting the issue behind them ahead of the midterm elections.
Cruz had argued Republicans should stick together to extract spending cuts from Democrats and President Barack Obama, but McConnell privately had counseled against another shutdown showdown.
Kirk said his party was sharply divided over strategy behind the scenes, including a dispute between McConnell and Cruz. He told reporters why he planned to vote to advance the debt limit bill: "I just want the orderly administration of the U.S. debt," he said.
Cruz and outside tea party groups have ripped the party's leadership in both chambers for caving to President Barack Obama's demands for a clean debt limit hike. But the House voted narrowly to pass the debt limit Tuesday after Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, said Republicans were unable to unite behind any alternative.
The difficulty of the vote may suggest that debt limit brinkmanship may just be on hiatus, even if it's over for this Congress.
Once signed by the president, the debt limit will be suspended until March 2015, at which point it will be raised to whatever level of debt has been incurred. That number will likely be at least $500 billion higher given the expected size of the federal deficit.
Humberto Sanchez and Niels Lesniewski contributed to this report.

Android Auto Wireless ?
Google is finally ready to offer Android Auto over Wi-Fi despite working with JVC and Kenwood, each of which released head units at CES in January that were compatible with the feature. According to Google, for Android Auto wireless to work, you need to have either a Nexus or a Pixel phone running Android 8.0 (Oreo), a vehicle capable of running Android Auto v3.1 and a cable to set the system up. If you don't have all of those things, Samsung fanboy, you're not totally screwed, just don't expect any solutions in the short term. Google is apparently working with phone manufacturers on making the software work with their individual wrappers, but who knows when that will actually roll out to the public. We're looking forward to testing this new feature out as soon as possible, and we'll report back on how well it all works.

BGN/PCGN romanization system for Russian is a method for romanization of Cyrillic Russian texts, that is, their transliteration into the Latin alphabet as used in the English language.

There are a number of systems for romanization of Russian, but the BGN/PCGN system is relatively intuitive for anglophones to pronounce. It is part of the larger set of BGN/PCGN romanizations, which includes methods for 29 different languages. It was developed by the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) and by the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use (PCGN). The portion of the system pertaining to the Russian language was adopted by BGN in 1944, and by PCGN in 1947.

This romanization of Russian can be rendered by using only the basic letters and punctuation found on English-language keyboards. No diacritics or unusual letters are required, but the interpunct character (·) is optionally used to avoid some ambiguity.

In many publications, a simplified form of the system is used to render English versions of Russian names, which typically converts ë to yo, simplifies -iy and -yy endings to -y and omits apostrophes for ъ and ь.

The following table describes the system and provides examples.

Discussion in 'Parenting' started by cococherry, Apr 12, 2011.
I am due in September with my first baby when I will be on M5. I also work in greater London. Would anyone mind sharing their take home pay when on half pay plus smp. Am trying to work out finances and how much time I will be able to take off but it's all so confusing!
Look up tafkam's pay calculator to get your 50%, then add the SMP on top of that- it's £123 a week I think. It probably won't be exact, but it's close enough as the pay calculator is very accurate. Will try and find a link.
My SL completely stopped when I started maternity leave without me having to do anything. My union and I think they all do this, give you 6 months free but you will need to ring them up which I have not done yet and due back at work soon!!!

Recognize a moment in your day when you have a physical need that you've ignored. It will probably be something incredibly basic, like needing to get a drink of water, a small bite of food, taking a moment to use the restroom or pausing and resting for 3 minutes. If you're like me, you probably push right past these moments and withhold the fulfillment of essential bodily needs….and then wonder why you burn out. Once you've recognized this, give yourself a kiss by taking 3 minutes or less to DO something about it. Give yourself the gift you would give anyone else you care about and know you are starting a small habit that can add up to big rewards.

Russia to develop improved variant of ISKANDER missile
NewsMissiles & Bombs
Photo by Vitaly Kuzmin
The State Corporation Rostec has announced a plans to develop an improved variant of Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system for the Russian armed forces.
According to the company, Rostec is planning to improve its operational-tactical missile systems in the next ten years. After 2020, the upgraded version of PTRC Iskander-M will be presented.
The improved variant of Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system will have an increased range and will be based on the new highly mobile wheeled platform.
The Iskander-M system is equipped with two solid-propellant single-stage guided missiles, model 9M723K1. Each one is controlled throughout the entire flight path and fitted with an inseparable warhead. Each missile in the launch carrier vehicle can be independently targeted in a matter of seconds.
Range: published 415 km, rumoured 500 km. Flight altitude up to 6–50 km, stealth missile, controlled at all stages, not ballistic flight path. The intense maneuvering on takeoff and descent complicates prediction of target. Missile constantly maneuvers during the flight.

Our Happy Henry (the second) within days of his arrival at CCR. It is rare to see Henry without a bone, ball or toy in his mouth!
The past few months have been very interesting….
Adi and Bina, who arrived last summer are moving forward, healing emotionally and physically.
15 months, she is mellowing, playful, somewhat hyper…in other words a normal little Cattle dog.
she is learning how to become a dog. It is a major step in her ongoing journey.
Sohvi found a forever home with a wonderful woman and two other Border Collies. Although we miss her terribly, we know she has the best possible life she could have!
In October we took in Bella, a 8-10 year old Chihuahua with two huge inguinal (abdominal) hernias.
She also had Tick Fever which had to be cleared before surgery could be done…or she might bleed- out. Locally in SoAZ we were not able to find any Veterinarians willing to work on her. Our Vet, Dr. Heist, thought the surgery could be too complex and the chance of bleeding too great. Even the local specialists were hesitant and refused to work on Bella.
The hernias were huge! …but gratefully we met with Dr. Brett in North Scottsdale.
rupture from the pressure of insertion into a tight space.
bought of surgery in another month.
During the period of time, we accepted an elderly, toothless Chihuahua with a broken jaw named Feo…which means "Ugly" in Spanish. He was an owner turn in to Pinal county and, not surprisingly, no one wanted him….
Crystall a lovely young woman I work with at Pinal kept telling me about him and hinting how much it would mean to everyone there if we were to take him….So we did. Little Feo has turned out to be the sweetest little guy, full of vim and vinegar…Although he is fed a specialized slushy diet of soft dog foods, he is doing great, gaining weight, making friends and hanging out with our elderly little Chihuahua named Princess.
We were also able to pull a pure little Dachshund we named Demi from a euthanasia list at Arizona Humane Society in Phoenix. She was found to have Valley Fever, which made her unadoptable. Since we already have three dogs being treated for VF, we accepted her into the pack.
well, recovering from Valley Fever and making friends at her new forever home.
insure the drops are working.
Two weeks ago, when we took Bella up for a check-up, we took Red up to see Dr. Brett and had the last of her few remaining rotten teeth removed. Today, eating soft foods, she is happy and pain free.
The most recent addition to our menagerie is Henry, a year-old Cattle dog. Henry is a "lethal white" also called a Double Merle, which is simply stated very bad breeding. Henry arrived about ten days ago.
Henry was born with deformed eyes which have left him blind. Next week Henry goes up to see Dr. Merridith as we believe he might have "some" sight in his left eye. If he does have residual sight, we will do whatever we can to preserve that sight for as long as possible. Of course we might just be not overly hopeful….
Although breeders know that merle markings on Aussies and Cattle dogs is a recessive trait, breeding merle to merle will produce more merle-marked expensive pups. But 25% of these double merle babies will be deaf or blind or have seizures or any combination of these three genetic maladies.
My first "lethal white" dogs were 4-week old Aussie X Cattle dogs. Both pups had been tossed into the desert when the breeder realized they were both deaf and had serious vision issues. They were Little Red Fox named Henry and Murphy. Henry was mostly blind, totally deaf and he began having seizures at 6 weeks of age. Even with major medicalmedical intervention, he lived medical care he only lived two and a half years.
His brother Murphy was deaf and slowly went blind as he grew older. Murphy died at 11 years of age.
Henry2 seems to be fully hearing, and at a year is not showing signs of epilepsy. We hope he will have a long, happy and healthy life.
He is already making friends with Adi and several other dogs here in our crazy dog pack.

'Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit' Opens in Sacramento
By P.C. EditorFebruary 10, 2015One Comment

A new exhibit featuring historic photographs by Dorothea Lange and contemporary images by photojournalist Paul Kitagaki Jr. reveals a generation's triumph over their incarceration during World War II.
By P.C. Staff
"Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit," which features historic images by U.S. War Relocation Authority staff photographers including Dorothea Lange and contemporary images by photojournalist Paul Kitagaki Jr., runs through May 3 at the California Museum.
A visual exploration of the Japanese concept of gambatte or "to triumph over adversity," the exhibit — sponsored by the Japanese American Citizens League's Northern California Time of Remembrance Committee, the Sacramento Bee and Tanforan Assembly Center Memorial Committee — chronicles the legacy of Japanese Americans who persevered over their incarceration during World War II through a display of past and present images from an often overlooked chapter of U.S. history.
A historic photograph of Helene Nakamoto (left) and Mary Ann Yahiro reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at their San Francisco elementary school before their relocation to the Topaz Internment Camp. The photo was taken in 1942 by Dorothea Lange, National Archives and Records Administration
"It's important to bring light to this experience in American history," explained Brenna Hamilton, communications and marketing director for the California Museum. "The internment story is powerful and extremely loving, showing the strength, resilience and perseverance of Japanese Americans during this awful event."
Since 2000, the California Museum has made an effort to educate the public and inform visitors about the internment of Japanese Americans with the "Uprooted! Japanese Americans During World War II" exhibit and the "Time of Remembrance" annual learning program.
Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans residing on the West Coast, two-thirds of whom were American by birth, were forced to leave their homes and incarcerated at one of 10 War Relocation Centers located in isolated areas under Executive Order 9066. Issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Feb. 19, 1942, the order deemed California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona a military zone and gave the U.S. War Relocation Authority jurisdiction over people of Japanese ancestry living in these states.
During the WRA's existence from 1942-46, the agency maintained records of its work through reports and photographs taken by Dorothea Lange, Tom Parker and other professional photographers commissioned to document the daily life and treatment of Japanese Americans during their incarceration through images.
Lange found herself at odds with her employer due to issues of racism and civil rights raised by the assignment. Her work juxtaposed signs of courage and determination with evidence of the indignities of incarceration, and as a result, many of her photographs were censored by the federal government. It was not until 1972, when the Whitney Museum of American Art first displayed 27 of her images in an exhibit on Japanese American internment titled "Executive Order 9066," that her work became widely known and began to serve as a public record of Japanese Americans' internment during WWII.
In the late 1970s, Kitagaki was beginning his career as a photojournalist in San Francisco when he learned that Lange had photographed his family in 1942 while they awaited a relocation bus in Oakland, Calif. While researching Lange's work to locate images of his relatives, his interest in the effects of Executive Order 9066 led him to begin researching other individuals captured in WRA photographs and how their incarceration during WWII changed their lives.
"I wanted to put a name to the impersonal ID tags that were given to them. It dehumanized them," said Kitagaki. "Many still don't know about the forced removal of Japanese and Japanese Americans and I wanted to know what happened to those nameless people and investigate how Executive Order 9066 changed their lives and the generations that followed."
To date, Kitagaki has documented more than 25 of the individuals originally shot by the WRA staff with his own contemporary photographs. Utilizing a 4×5 format camera, similar to equipment used by photographers in the 1940s, as well as black-and-white film, his work is designed to mirror his predecessors while revealing the strength and legacy of perseverance of his subjects.
"Paul Kitagaki's visual resurrection of a tragic and intergenerational trauma of the WWII incarceration of innocent people is a stirring reminder to all citizens of the world of inhumane injustices perpetrated in the name of war," said Dr. Satsuki Ina, a subject featured in the exhibit and filmmaker of the documentaries "Children of the Camp" (2003) and "From a Silk Cocoon" (2005). "Kitagaki's inspired work has a profound message that brings the past into today's perspective."
Added Dori Moorehead, executive director of the California Museum: "The California Museum is proud to exhibit these powerful images from the past and present documenting Japanese Americans' internment during WWII. They serve as not only a visual record of this chapter of history but also as an inspiration as examples of mankind's ability to triumph over adversity."
A photojournalist for more than 35 years, Kitagaki has worked for the Sacramento Bee(ITAL) since 2003 and been featured in lectures, books exhibits and national publications.

dewey says:
It was my good fortune to be visiting in Sacramento when my friend suggested going to see this new exhibit, Gambatte. I hope that Mr. Kitagaki produces a book from this work. Quite impressive!


If you're a farmer and looking to learn more about the wheat industry and how Canadian wheat is used domestically and around the world, I would highly recommend the Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) Combine to Customer program.
Cigi is an independent not-for-profit organization working with the grain and field crop value chain in Canada and internationally to drive the development and utilization of Canadian agricultural products. Cigi receives funding from grain handlers and exporters, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and by Western Canadian Farmers through the service charge on wheat.
Over the two-and-a-half day program, the speakers were informative, experienced and engaging. There are several speakers each day, and each one is highly educated, most with 10+ years experience in their industry, and some who have traveled extensively to meet with Canada's global customers and have a wealth of first-hand experience to share.The facilities are well-equipped, and set up for a rich learning environment. The main classroom is set up with personal mics for each attendee, so the entire classroom can hear comments and questions. Most of us were surprised when we discovered the extent of the research and lab equipment the building contained, right down to a flour mill and a brewery!
The program is well rounded, informative and enlightening, equipping attendees to be strong, reliable agvocates. It would be difficult to pinpoint just one highlight, but as a foodie, I thoroughly enjoyed the bakery, and learning about how the quality of wheat we grow on the farm translates directly into baking performance and flour. I'm passionate about agriculture, and the grains we grow, but to learn that Canada's wheat is the highest quality in the world, and we continue to be world leaders in grain production made me proud to be a Canadian farmer. I highly recommend this program for all wheat growers in Alberta.
