and more internet screwups.

selling it by the byte. on their software, on their wire.

I don't stream (and hardly watch TV. It's on nature noise here; and my dogs hate it because the chirping birds there are always telling them the wrong time.)

no cell. cancer machine.

no TV streaming; cheap thrills.

don't drink, drug or chase gigglers. (sigh. it's sproing, too)

back to watching the housing market fire up.

oh, new machine, doctor, etc only at 83,000 not 87. rats.

Impressions/Review:  Shining Live

Alright...here we go friends and neighbors.  Since we have hit our main roadblock on the game right now what better time but to do an “Impressions/Review” on the game “Shining Live” from the “Uta no Prince-Sama” franchise? This impressions however isn’t just going to be about the game but we are going to give a history on the series from its inception to where we are now because all of that is going to be factored in for a specific reason Oh and since we are in this for the long haul...this is going to be under a read more as well.  Also all information comes from the wikipedia page for UtaPri as well as the .com site and Broccol.co.jp  I did my research for this piece when I knew I was going to review it With THAT out of the way...shall we get started?

Uta no Prince-Sama was announced by Broccoli in the Summer of 2009.  To be exact the post that was placed on the website is from August 8th of 2009 and you could go to the website from there.  To this day if you wanted to go to the original version of the site you could...just hit up internet wayback machine for it. The first game’s release came in June of 2010.  June 24th is the day that is referred to as the proper Anniversary of the series and this year will be 8 years for the franchise.  Can you believe it will be 10 years in 2020?  HOLY CRAP! ANYWAYS! As you will see for the rest of this review there will be release dates from the game series and there will also be dates for the Anime seasons.  This is for a reason as you will see when we actually get talking about the game but I wanted to make sure this review was a 100% thorough breakdown for everyone both old hats and new peeps coming into the fandom.  With that in mind let us continue Uta no Prince-Sama as a “Visual Novle/Otome” has currently 9 games in their “Main” series between the PSP and VITA.  The Original game (Uta no Prince-Sama has been remade 2 times since its original version and they came out on August 11th ,2011 and January 26th of 2016 respectively.  The rest of the ORIGINAL games came out around the following times Amazing Aria - 12/23/2010 Sweet Seranade - February 10 ,2011 Debut - May 24, 2012 All-Star - March 7th, 2013 All-Star After Secret - February 26, 2015 Now all of these are important because around some of these dates a season for an Anime came out and all of the Seasons fell under the “Maji Love” banner starting with 1000% in July of 2011 (July 2nd for those keeping score at home) and running to September 24th of that year.  Of the four seasons so far this is the only season to have a a “Summer” Release as the other seasons (2K ,Revolutions and Legend Star) all fell either in the Spring or Autumn season.  2K and Revolutions both released in April of 2013/15 and Legend Star was in 2016 Okay okay I know what you are all thinking “Josh we know all of this...hurry up and get on with the friggin’ review” To which I say “I’m getting there but we need to do just a LITTLE MORE setup because the next part is important to Shining Live” When the first season of the Anime (ML1K) aired it was around “Amazing Aria” and “Sweet Sernade” and so the writers were writing to introduce you to basically STARISH as a 6 Member group with Cecil being a guest start basically (because when the first game happened 6 members were dateable from the start and one in Cecil was unlockable).  When Season 2 aired in 2013 Debut and All-Star were a thing but they had to introduce QN (whom briefly appeared at STARISH’s debut concert at the end of Season 1) so they would do just that When Season 2 premiered in 2013 the first episode was titled “Poison Kiss” and in it introduced the boys of QUARTET NIGHT whom would take the roles of “Seniors” for STARISH for the season.  Later when “Revolutions” happened 2 years later they would become the “In Agency Rivals” of STARISH to try and win the sport of the performer at the Triple S. HOWEVER Season 2 also sought to bring in a new monkey wrench into the fray by introducing the group “HEAVENS” led by Eiichi Ootori as he was flanked by Kira Sumeragi and Nagi Mikado and would face off in a “Must Win” scenario at the UtaPri awards where the loser would be forced to disband.  STARISH won but HEAVENS would be spared from disbanding as the President of Shining Agency stepped in and made sure that that stipulation wasn’t fulfilled.  They WOULD come back later as a 7 person group where each member was an opposite for a particular STARISH member and this season in particular (Revolutions) would be the last season also to aired around the release of a game.  “Revolutions” aired around April of 2015 the same year that the final game for the PSP (VN wise) released which was in February. Now there is a reason we just went through this History lesson (and if I fucked anything up I apologize) but its because we NOW are going to talk about Shing Live! LET’S GO Okay when we talk about Shining Live we are going to break this down like this Story Gameplay Translation (This is a translation of a Japanese Rhythm game so this one is important) Overall fun factor Just so you know...I am tempted to talk about the translation LAST because of the fact that it is a bit of a hot button but with that in mind...LET’S GO! Story I know that UtaPri isn’t typically known to some for its story but if you pay attention enough the story and plot are some of the most interesting things in the series.  I can’t tell you how ,when I watched every episode (52 and if we count the OVA then 53), I was always looking forward to what was going to happen in the next episode because the characters were compelling as all hell (and still are) and their personalities ,while some kind of grated on me over the years, were still varied enough that you could have your favorites So what IS the story of this game?  Well QUARTET NIGHT and STARISH are performing a joint concert called “Shining Live” where they showcase the groups that President Shining Saotome has on display.  In this case those groups are STARISH and QN. When the game starts the player (that’s you) are greeting by intros with each of the characters and that is our first introduction to ,not only the new translation for the game, but also the personalities of each character that will be on display at this time.  I say “At this time” because we will be talking about the future soon enough. After an introduction from all the cast they play “Welcome to UtaPri World” which is your introduction to the gameplay.  I’ll talk more about that in bit but basically tap the buttons in accordance to the song and as you do you will eventually progress to the title screen and go about your business After this the real story begins but...which story IS IT? See the game has 3 types Main Story Side Story Event Story The one that you will play a lot (or until you run out of certain items which I will talk about in a minute) is the Main Story.  This starts with after the performance of “Welcome to UtaPri World” (which doesn’t count towards clearing songs on the setlist) and your first chapter consists of a story with STARISH AND ONE WITH QN where the STARISH boys want to try and get better than their Senpais to eventually overtake them.  To do this they know they need to get better and to do that they need to keep on having performances and getting stronger.  QN however knows this and knows they need to get better as a group themselves but of course we know they have their own issues too right? To clear a chapter of the game the player must play each song and clear them.  Now there are 4 difficulties in the game so you have to play the one you are comfortable with but remember this Higher difficulties consume more LP (That stands for Live Points in this game) and can cause problems later on higher player levels...it can also help you progress faster in the game though with the XP system. As the player progresses in the story more and more songs become available.  Remember that you need tickets to play the stories so not having them puts you in a position that is no fun so playing the songs repeatedly helps out greatly Speaking of...LET’S TALK ABOUT GAMEPLAY Gameplay The game play of this game is not unlike say...Klab’s Love Live.  Rings come from a beam of light and your job is to tap them as close to perfect as possible and get the best score possible. Now this is where we are going to have differences in the way the game scores your taps.  In the JP version the scoring went JUST PERFECT PEFECT GREAT GOOD BAD MISS Getting all “Just Perfect” and “Perfect” scores meant you got a “PERFECT COMBO” and a special purple board came around the screen.  a Full Combo was just orange text When the Global Version was released they changed up two things and one was the grade for the note taps PERFECT GREAT GOOD BAD MISS Notice something:  Yeah they removed the “JUST PERFECT” rank from the score.  The belief is that having those would confuse the International audience so they scrapped “JUST PERFECT” and just left those in.  Also now you can get “ULTIMATE COMBO” just for getting “Perfect” and “Great” grades all the way through...its the equivalent to the Crown in Music 1 or the Gold in Music 2 You also get a score rank in the game The game ranks you scorewise from D to S (although C is the first one on the rewards chart...more on that in a second) and as you score in the song the bar goes up.  The better you grade on a note the more points and the better your shot of getting the elusive S rank on a song. How high you can go on the score meter is determined by a few things How well you tap on a note (although that can be wonky sometimes) The level/Grade of your phots Your traits for you and your partner in the song The first one we already explained how that kind of works...the others might be “Huh?” for some people so let me explain Every card has 4 rarities Normal Rare Super Rare Ultra Rare The higher the rarity of the card the better you have a chance to get an S rank...thing is your level matters too because every card gets EXP that participates in a song (BTW I know they are photos but I for some reason always call them “cards”...its a Yu-Gi-Oh! problem with me) so you want them to be in as much as possible.  There is also the BOND of the card though too Alright how to explain this We all have favorite characters and we want them to get to know us better right?  Well this game has a thing where has your number in the star of each character goes up you get new voice clips and the like from them...you also get rewards from the game as the game has missions based on songs ,player level and bond level between you and a character.  The goals are always every 10 levels and you usually get 10 prisms for doing it each time so that is def something to keep in mind Oh right...that is another important aspect of the game and its getting the new cards So this game has a gacha system which involves a photoshoot (for the record B-Project also has something kind of similar too) and there are many different kinds.  Some are based off of events like an MV for a particular video or even a Gacha that has cards from previous sets in it!  Some might even be themed after a Holiday (There is an event going on right now where Natsuki is the UR for Valentine’s Day and if you are lucky enough to pull him HE WILL BE SO HAPPY!) and there is even a Photoshoot which I think was the very first one they ever did that is a standard (Its one with the Military Outfits..you’ll know it when you see it. There are also two other special ones for special tickets that you can win either in a slot machine or I think you can get those in a shop.  I know for the V-Day you could get the SR+ one for sure in exchange for Presents! Some Photoshoots have an expiration on them and some are split into “halves” meaning that they will have one half have one UR card on them and then there is another half with another.  An example of this would be Nats being the UR for this particular half of the V-Day and Ren is beginning on the 13th of this month. NOW SPEAKING OF THINGS WITH DURATIONS LETS TALK ABOUT THE EVENTS! @baku5ds asked me to talk about these so I will...ONLY COS SHE ASKED ME TOO! So the game has events that last for about a week and the way they work is not unlike the events of “Stand my Hero” (a Match 3 game with Otome Elements that has some of the UtaPri VAs in it) EXCEPT all of these are ranked! Here is how they work From about 1:59 PM JST (That’s 11:59 PM EST for us) and for the next 6 days the player engages in a battle with other players to try and win not ONE new Photo but TWO! The Photos are related to the Event Story we spoke about earlier as the characters on them are portraying characters for the story.  The stories HERE (unlike for the main story) are 10 parts long BUT you get 5 Prisms each like you do for playing a side or main story chapter...that’s 50 prisms! You’re goal is to do one of two things in these 6 days 1.  Make it all the way to the cards on your points ladder (good luck because every so often the points increase by 500 so to get to the UR card its every 3500 to get the next reward) OR 2.  Finish in the top 10% of the rankings and you get TWO nice new shiny photos.  IF you got both copies already on the points ladder this just means you get a 3rd of at least one of the photos so enjoy This is legitimately one of the most exhausting things the game can ask a player to do because you aren’t just playing other players but you are playing yourself as your will and endurance get tested because you are playing THE SAME SET OVER AND OVER AND OVER again...it can be exhausting BUT if its for cards you really want you will suffer for them and it will be worth it!  I got a nice shiny UR for my collection so I’m happy :-) Are the events LONG...yes but if you have the patience and the endurance you can get through them easily...otherwise WHY ARE THEY SO BLASTED LONG?! (again that was for @baku5ds) Now let’s address the elephant in the room Translation (I know I said I would do “fun factor but...eh put that with the events thingy) The translation in some respects seems to be a bode of contention and I can respect that.  I think for ME it hasn’t been an issue because it feels like when they did the translation they wanted to make it more “lighthearted” as an experience for new players (and potential new fans) as possible.  If the story was “Angsty” as all get out how many people outside of the general base would play it? Does it have its issues?  Well there was a part in the last event when Syo said to Natsuki “Hey want to come with?” and I mentioned this to a friend of mine and they thought it might have been some old slang that got in. One that became a meme was when Ren at the beginning of the game goes “Hello Ladies.  Ren Jinguji is in the house” and I actually chuckled which I think is something this game wanted us to do from the start.  Have a lighthearted romp through UtaPri and get to see the characters in situations that might not happen in the Anime because of the fact that the series is 13 episodes each season and 22-25 minutes a pop.  A little lighthearted fun never hurt anyone (and let’s be real...we all needed that after Season 4). So now that I wrote what is no doubt a College Thesis on this game would I rec it for a new fan? SURE! The thing that you have to get over is sometimes the hit detection is wonky af when it comes to hitting notes and if you can endure the events when they feel like a Boston Marathon then you got that going for you too! All in all Uta no Prince-Sama Shining Live is a game that ,even if you aren’t a UtaPri fan but you love Rhythm games...check it out you won’t be disappointed!

Microsoft Or otherwise?

Friday was an additional repeat, this moment from May 15, 2006. However, TCR does not intend to leave you empty handed and also is bringing you an article by one of our staff members, Paul. Although Paul is from the UK, he takes a keen rate of interest in checking out Jim Cramer's Mad Cash (and obviously at the best JCMM site on the 'Internet - The Cramer Record!) and also hopes you will certainly appreciate his understanding into among Jim's opinions.Cramer is presently favouring a buy right into Microsoft (MSFT), thinking the bad times lag as well as it's back on the up. An analysis of the share costs over the past few months reveals that Microsoft is over its lowest points ($ 21.51) and also progressively climbing up (currently $24.40). One could argue that Cramer is right.Nevertheless, continued adjustments in Vista's launch date, also if it suggests an extra secure as well as safe and secure Os will be launched (or that is the theory). Microsoft's OS and also webbrowser cycle is bad as it is:* Windows XP was released in 2001* Web Explorer was launched in 2001Internet Traveler 7 is set for launch in the initial fifty percent of 2007 and Windows Panorama is set for basic launch in the initial quarter of 2007. Both items will certainly offer lots of enhancements and also brand-new features over the older variations however the reality is hardly any of it is new.One feature to ultimately get to Web Explorer is tabbed web browser. To a non-technical individual, who simply utilizes just what's supplied on their MS Windows desktop computer, this could seem brand-new as well as interesting, nevertheless tabbed web browser has actually been around since 1996 (although it was a feature in a non-public beta version of InternetWorks given that 1994) and has actually been offered in prominent web browsers such as Opera and also MozillaFirefox for numerous years.Microsoft won the first internet browser war now it's concerning a battle in lots of locations. Item cycles are quicker for open resource software such as OpenOffice.org, MozillaFirefox and also MozillaThunderbird - new attributes, insect fixes, and protection updates are launched on a regular basis. Due to the items' open source nature it is easier and also less costly to establish plugins and compatible applications.On the operating system side, Microsoft has competitors from Linux. Linux is currently coming to be more mature and is being adopted by governmentsand also instructional institutes alike. Novell (NOVL) is investing a lot of money in Linux, having actually acquired German company SuSE Linux GmbH in January 2004.One key location that they have invested a great deal in over the previous year is Xen, which is virtualisation software and permits multiple Platforms (Linux or Windows) to be run as visitors on a solitary system (the host, which could be either Linux or Windows). This is one risk Microsoft has actually seen and also replied to by enhancing its Virtual Server support offering and also making it offered free of cost. Nonetheless, is this as well little too late?Xen's benefit is that it's open source, consequently bugs and protection issues will be repaired quicker, possibly even before the problem is open secret, as the source code is visible for everyone to evaluate as well as test for instabilities. A fast action to bugs as well as safety and security is vital in a company environment and also an area Microsoft can not compete within because of its closed source nature.Virtualisation is becoming a more crucial location because of the boosting costs for power. The good news is, equipment is coming to be extra powerful, frequently extra effective than is in fact required, so virtualisation is definitely for today along with the future. Why buy hardware for 6 servers when all 6 could range from within one os through virtualisation? Homes for sale in Seguin Texas With View and also Web Traveler 7, Microsoft is trying to play catch-up, yet the fact is it currently has seriously hard competitors. There is now a large use up of alternate internet browsers, office applications as well as operating systems. While the market change may be slow, it's certainly occurring. I could not see Microsoft remaining in the same market position in One Decade that it is currently. Its market share will certainly remain to vaporize.All-time low Line:Microsoft is facing significant hazards in the house, education and learning as well as business desktop field. It's encountering dangers in the business environment as a server (besides as a webserver, where Linux/Unix is in the majority). Microsoft might hit a high when View is (ultimately) released, nevertheless Costs Gates tipping down in the way that he is does suggest to me that the bulk of the cash has been made and it's now time to do something with it. The IT industry is usually a "come today, gone tomorrow" so it's constantly tough to choose which firm to buy, specifically as the present pattern is "over priced" when those business that have handled to linger make a decision to drift themselves on the stock market. I will not recommend you that to purchase, but I will claim don't just check out the software/operating system location, likewise check out equipment as well as consultancy companies as well. Large Blue, International Business Machines Corp (IBM), has been around for a long time as well as there will constantly be a need for such firms.

However, is this as well little also late?Xen's benefit is that it's open resource, for that reason bugs and also safety concerns will be dealt with quicker, perhaps even prior to the trouble is public knowledge, as the source code is visible for everyone to assess and examine for instabilities. A fast reaction to pests and also security is crucial in an organisation atmosphere and also a location Microsoft can not contend within due to its shut source nature.Virtualisation is coming to be a more crucial location because of the enhancing prices for power. Luckily, hardware is becoming more effective, often much more effective than is actually called for, so virtualisation is certainly for today along with the future. Why purchase equipment for 6 servers when all 6 could run from within one os through virtualisation?With Vista and Web Explorer 7, Microsoft is aiming to play catch-up, but the fact is it now has seriously challenging competitors. There is currently a large take up of alternative internet browsers, office applications as well as running systems. While the marketplace modification might be slow-moving, it's definitely occurring. I could not see Microsoft remaining in the very same market placement in One Decade that it is currently. Its market share will certainly continuously evaporate.All-time low Line:Microsoft is facing significant dangers in the home, education and organisation desktop computer sector. It's facing threats in business setting as a web server (in addition to as a webserver, where Linux/Unix remains in the majority). Microsoft could hit a high when View is (finally) released, however Bill Gates stepping down in the way that he is does recommend to me that the mass of the money has been made as well as it's now time to do something with it. The IT industry is often a "come today, gone tomorrow" so it's always challenging to choose which business to invest in, especially as the existing trend is "over priced" when those business that have actually taken care of to linger decide to drift themselves on the stock exchange. I will not advise you that to purchase, but I will certainly state don't simply check out the software/operating system area, also consider hardware and consultancy business as well. Large Blue, International Service Machines Corp (IBM), has actually been around for a very long time and also there will certainly constantly be a need for such firms.

Microsoft Or Not?

Friday was an additional repeat, this moment from May 15, 2006. Nevertheless, TCR does not want to leave you vacant handed as well as is bringing you a short article by among our personnel, Paul. Although Paul is from the UK, he takes a keen passion in reading about Jim Cramer's Mad Loan (and also obviously at the very best JCMM site on the 'Net - The Cramer Record!) and wishes you will certainly enjoy his understanding right into among Jim's opinions.Cramer is presently favouring a buy right into Microsoft (MSFT), thinking the bad times lag as well as it's back on the up. An evaluation of the share prices over the past few months reveals that Microsoft is over its lowest points ($ 21.51) and also progressively climbing (currently $24.40). One can say that Cramer is right.However, proceeded changes in View's release date, even if it means an extra stable and also safe and secure Operating System will certainly be launched (or that is the theory). Microsoft's OS and also webbrowser cycle is bad as it is:* Windows XP was released in 2001* Net Traveler was launched in 2001Web Traveler 7 is established for release in the very first half of 2007 as well as Windows View is set for basic release in the very first quarter of 2007. Both products will provide lots of enhancements and new features over the older versions but the fact is very little of it is brand-new.One function to lastly reach Web Explorer is tabbed web browser. To a non-technical individual, who simply utilizes just what's supplied on their MS Windows desktop computer, this may seem new as well as amazing, nevertheless tabbed internet browser has been around since 1996 (although it was a feature in a non-public beta version of InternetWorks since 1994) as well as has actually been offered in prominent internet browsers such as Opera and MozillaFirefox for several years.Microsoft won the very first browser battle today it's involving a fight in many locations. Item cycles are quicker for open resource software application such as OpenOffice.org, MozillaFirefox and MozillaThunderbird - new attributes, bug repairs, and also safety updates are released consistently. As a result of the products' open source nature it is less complicated and cheaper to establish plugins as well as compatible applications.On the os side, Microsoft has competitors from Linux. Linux is currently becoming elder as well as is being adopted by governmentsand also instructional institutes alike. Novell (NOVL) is spending a great deal of cash in Linux, having actually gotten German business SuSE Linux GmbH in Janu the mile high city ary 2004.One key area that they have spent a lot in over the previous year is Xen, which is virtualisation software application and also enables several Platforms (Linux or Windows) to be run as visitors on a solitary system (the host, which can be either Linux or Windows). This is one danger Microsoft has actually seen and responded to by boosting its Virtual Web server assistance offering and also making it readily available free of cost. Nonetheless, is this as well little too late?Xen's benefit is that it's open source, consequently insects and protection problems will certainly be fixed quicker, potentially even prior to the trouble is open secret, as the resource code is visible for every person to review and evaluate for insecurities. A quick reaction to pests and security is vital in a business setting and also an area Microsoft could not compete within due to its closed source nature.Virtualisation is becoming a more vital area due to the enhancing expenses for power. Fortunately, hardware is ending up being a lot more effective, often much more effective compared to is really required, so virtualisation is most definitely for today as well as the future. Why purchase hardware for 6 web servers when all 6 could run from within one operating system with virtualisation?With Panorama and also Web Explorer 7, Microsoft is attempting to play catch-up, yet the fact is it now has seriously challenging competition. There is currently a huge use up of alternative internet browsers, office applications and also running systems. While the marketplace modification may be slow-moving, it's absolutely occurring. I can not see Microsoft being in the exact same market placement in Ten Years that it is currently. Its market share will continue to evaporate.All-time low Line:Microsoft is facing significant risks in the house, education and organisation desktop computer field. It's facing threats in the business atmosphere as a web server (apart from as a webserver, where Linux/Unix remains in the majority). Microsoft could strike a high when Vista is (finally) launched, however Expense Gates tipping down in the manner in which he is does suggest to me that the mass of the cash has actually been made as well as it's currently time to do something with it. The IT market is typically a "come today, gone tomorrow" so it's always tough to pick which company to purchase, especially as the present fad is "over valued" when those firms that have actually taken care of to stay determine to drift themselves on the stock exchange. I will not suggest you who to buy, however I will state do not simply look at the software/operating system area, also look at equipment and also working as a consultant business as well. Large Blue, International Business Machines Corp (IBM), has actually been around for a long time and also there will always be a demand for such companies.

Seven stars in the end-time

Chapter 2 Risotto

Then he stopped the action in his hand and took the peach kernel in his hand to take a closer look. The shape was very beautiful. The upper circle was pointed at the bottom and shaped like a heart. The shell's texture was like a hollow woodcarving. The color was slightly pink. Shiny and full, shake gently, it seems to hear the sound of peach kernel shaking. If Zhang Shuhe was previously disgusted with Taoism, he once spoke about his father's paintings as ghosts, but at this time he was not afraid to ignore them. Just to see these three things so hidden in the stone statue of Lingbao Tianzun is definitely not an ordinary object, and it may be related to Taoism. Although Zhang Shuhe does not wait to see the Daoist books full of Daoist books, he has also seen some ghost pieces. When the zombie corps open the altar, they will spray a fine blood after the painting. This symbol will surely increase the power. Some appliances are not immune to this. The essence of blood on the human body is the purest on the tip of the tongue. Zhang Shuhe even bites it under the previous wound. He smears a drop of blood from the corners of his mouth and puts it on the peach kernel. When the blood stains on the shell, he feels like a sponge. To water, there is no leftover. After a long time, there was no movement to see it. Zhang Shuhe looked it over again and even pointed at the light outside. It was still the same as before. After shaking a few times, he couldn't hear the peach kernel's voice and couldn't stop it. Hand. When I was about to get up and try to find something to knock on, I suddenly heard a piece of music coming from the corner of the sofa. When he was shocked, he got a stiff body. After he realized what he was looking back at, he knew that he had not taken the phone for ten years. Because in the last days, this thing is nowhere useful. After hesitating, he turned the walnut in his hand into the palm of his left hand, then took out the phone from the gap in the sofa, glanced at it, and pressed the answer button. As soon as I was connected, I heard a roar from the inside. I was lazy, late, and missed the important thing, causing the loss of the company. I didn't want to take a penny and get out of it. Zhang Shuhe only listened to a few words and he threw it back on the couch. The money was not worth mentioning in the last days. Not to mention an internship, and he was still ready to continue researching the peach kernel. Who knows when the left palm suddenly began for a while? The array of unbearable heat. He hurriedly opened his left hand and looked at his palm. I saw that the shell of the peach kernel in the palm has turned pink, and the original seven black spots became the cinnabar colors, and the faintly pointed left palms suddenly became clear. I feel that something in the air seems to be insanely flowing into the palm kernel. When the meridians are in pain and sweat, the entire person suffers, and he instantly feels like he gets out of the water. Among them is still surging. But in fact, outsiders seemed to be looking at the palm of his hand while he was looking pale and pale, without any change. I do not know how long, the body's growing tingling sensation is gradually slowed, palm burning pain also gradually disappeared, the seven purple spots of sesame seeds have returned to black and gray, and the palm of the red peach kernel suddenly issued a small The crisp sound. Then split naturally into two lobes from the middle of the peach kernel. This process only about ten seconds, Zhang Shuhe's T-shirt has been wet and sticky on the body, beach pants affixed to the legs, the body off the power, the spirit but did not dare to have the slightest slack, fight back against the past, only the discomfort look, only See one of them in the peach kernel has sprouted at this time, grow a small mini two tender seedlings, tender and tender looking green eyes, and the other half is only empty shell. The difference is that the former green seedling was accidentally found in the palm of his hand after eating peach kernels. However, this tender seedling grew naturally from the peach kernel by its own strength and opened the peach shell. The tender seedlings are now in the range of seven black spots around the palm. In this slap-heavy place, his feelings are extremely sensitive, and he can clearly feel the vitality of the two young leaves and the tiny vitality of the leaves. Lines, even on the tender leaves above a layer of tender hair are seen clearly, like high-definition pictures in general, and do not have to pass the eyes. This is something that was not felt before. After a short while, the whole body couldn't help but start to tremble. Just now, it seemed that it was exhausting his entire body. Even the spirit was extremely sleepy. After seeing the peach kernel in hand, some uncontrollable eyes appeared. As soon as it was dark, the whole person fell on the sofa and slept with a deep sleep. The peach kernel and bud of his left hand did not fall down. Instead, he was directly hidden in the palm of his hand. This sensation remained in the evening and was finally awakened by a musical love that had died. The habit of cultivating him for many years gave him a double vision. He immediately sat up, looked cautiously around him, and waited until he thought of everything. Loose, eyes moved to the sofa side, the mobile phone screen is now flashing. Responding to the distress of the heart, I reached for it and glanced at the caller's display. It seemed that the call was from an uncle and it took two seconds to pick it up. He remembered that after his parents died in the crash six months ago, Xiao Xiao and his uncle had rarely been on the phone, and he was extremely cold to him on weekdays. The so-called no matter why he did not go to the Sanbao Temple and suddenly contacted him must be something. After the connection was made, the unfaithful voice of the uncle was immediately heard on the phone: “Haha, ah, haven’t you had dinner yet? Your sister-in-law packs pork celery stuffed dumplings today and got a lot of tapas, since your parents passed away. After that, it's not a long time since you and I have come together. Now let's come over. If the food is all right, then we will be sent to you. Come and have your father drink two bottles..." Zhang Shuhe was instantly caught by the dumplings of pork celery stuffed on the phone. After only a moment, he thought of it. At first, it seemed that there was such a phone call. After he passed, it was very unpleasant with Xiao Xiao and his uncle, but At this point he was not ten years ago. Plus, I do not know if it was because the peach kernel had given birth to tender seedlings. When I woke up, I was hungry and hungry. I heard a table of food waiting for him to eat. When he got down, he couldn't stand up and get up. No one knew more about hunger than he did. After two steps, he suddenly thought of green shoots and rushed to his left hand. He seemed to perceive his thoughts. A sapling that had grown by half a foot tall in the peach kernel made him unable to help. In the past, the green shoots that grew up in any case were half-day long. They also showed green leaves. Isn't peach or anything? As soon as the thoughts came out, the half-pulled peach kernel appeared immediately in the palm of your hand. Seeing it still there, he suddenly decided in his heart that the smile in his hand would gently hold the hand into a fist, and the peach kernel and the sapling would all disappear, and he would open his hand as usual. Zhang Shuhe took a slight sigh of relief. First, after hiding the black and lumpy blob in the bottle on the sofa, he immediately felt wrong. He changed another place in the old pile of clothes. He took off his body and sweated some T-shirts. Shorts, showered with the fastest speed, changed clothes and went downstairs. There are several barbecue shops downstairs. There are a lot of people in the evening. One share of meat from the old loft goes straight to the nose. The former Zhang Shuhe does not think that it is wrong, but now it is a straight mouthwatering drool. , eyes blue light, wait for grabbed all swallowed. Speaking of it, he really didn't smell this fragrant meat for a long time. Fortunately, the uncle's family was not too far away. He also had some self-control. He simply walked steadily from several barbecue stalls, did not stop, and went to the uncle's house. Sure enough, he saw a good table on the lobby table. There was even a large cut of cooked pork dumplings. Zhang Shuhe had almost no courtesy. After sitting down, he started to eat. He was really hungry, and he was a bit embarrassed. He could not help but hurry to eat. Maybe he didn't feel it, but he looked at his uncle and his cousin. In the eyes, it was like a hungry ghost who hadn't eaten for three days and nights. Without saying a word, he only kept knowingly and arrogantly that he hadn't seen rice pork for three years. A large amount of cooked meat was picked up by him. After a few chopsticks, only a few left. She looked straight and stiff, and had a painful body. She and Zhang Shuhe's mother were half-brothers. She walked around on weekdays but was unprofessional. She was not half-hearted about his unfamiliar nephew, if not this time for the house. The matter will not call him home to serve the good food. The couple had wanted to eat with Zhang Shuhe, but the result was stunned. He even saw three bowls of rice, half cooked pork, a large plate of dumplings, a bowl of seafood soup, and only half bowl of braised pork put down the chopsticks. Fat suddenly took the next sentence: "Zhang Shuhe is a pig!" Then he took a grimace and ran off the chair and ran out. Uncle took an immediate look at her daughter-in-law. When she saw him, she saw him once. Then she turned to face Zhang Shuhe and said, “He is a little crane, he is fat and he is not sensible, and you don’t know how to talk. In my heart, in fact, I’m going to have something to say to you today. By the way, I'll have dinner with you... Isn't it enough? It's not enough for you to give you a bowl...” Then he got up and got up. Zhang Shuhe did not care for fat words, but after hearing Xiaoyan's words, he said: "No, I'm already full." Then she looked at them. The so-called short-handed, arrogant people, mouthed after thinking for a moment and said: "Oh, my father, if you have something, then just say it.
