I have worn Desire for nearly 15 years. It is the cologne/perfume that will drive men & women simply crazy. It is simply yummy and sweat pounding sexiness in a bottle. What really bothers me is the price. I up still last year paid no more than [$] for a bottle. Late last year and now it is well over [$] a bottle which is way to much. No one was buying this that I new of and men and women at all times would ask me what I was waring when I had it on. No I would not tell them but simply say it's my favorite and I don't want the world to be waring as well. There is one other that I really love that I would not tell of either. It is still at a cost that is affordable. This is a must have for men who really want to know they smell great and that smell is sending out the bait to meet your mate, partner, spouse. I hope it comes down in price I'm on my last bottle. It will make a great gift for that someone special or that someone you want to be special. Hope this helps eveyone.Blessings,

Women love this stuff. I usually wear it once in a while. Cannot use it everyday because for me it tends to become boring. A bit pricey.

Brazilian woman tries to kill her husband with oral sex!
In what might seriously go down the weirdest murder attempt ever, a Brazilian woman has just been accused of trying to kill her husband by putting poison on her genitals and then asking him to go down on her.
You read that correctly: she tried to kill her husband while he was, ahem, eating her out with some kind of poison on her hoo-ha. Okay, I have to ask: Who does this?! I mean, have you ever heard of a crazier way to end the life of the man that you have pledged love and devotion to? I don't know about you, but that definitely doesn't sound very devoted to me!

Luckily for the man in question, he didn't fall for it. Well, it's not that he necessarily went downstairs and immediately thought, "You know, something is off here, I bet my wife is up to something." Instead, MSN Now reports that he noticed a very "strange smell" emanating from her crotch and insisted in taking her to the hospital.
Clearly he was being a very good husband, taking care of what he thought was his wife's safety. Instead, he found out that what was REALLY happening is that she put a poison on herself when doctors detected it and the whole plot was uncovered. Now he's suing her for the attempted murder.
Read more ¿Qué más? Revenge Porn websites in big trouble for publishing nude pictures of unsuspecting women
I'm not sure why the police isn't involved. Perhaps the husband decided that suing his surely soon-to-be ex-wife was a better course of action but, seriously, these two need some counseling. What in the world would possess a woman to put something down there in order to poison her man? Even worse, how was she herself not poisoned because of it? It's just, well, disgusting. Whatever the issue was, I seriously hope that she's learned her lesson and divorces her husband before resorting to this icky and heinous crime.

With the announcement of a (kinda) No.1 contender match between Dan Henderson and Daniel Cormier and Henderson's recent KO victory over Shogun, I have read many comments and opinions that present Dan Henderson to be a much greater fighter than I perceive him to be. I have been playfully laughed at and questioned for: (a) seeing Jake Shields as a better fighter (he beat him definitively head to head), (b) considering Henderson's prime years to have been extended and distorted by his legal PED use (I give Shields full credit for defeating Dan despite his age at the time), (c) underestimating his questionable victories (I can clearly remember Decision Dan), and (d) not giving full credit for some of his more historic victories (Fedor, W.Silva, Nogueria).
As I encountered these arguments, it made it clear to me that I have a very different perspective on fighter rankings than many of the community members here. Since I enjoy discussing and learning from others, I thought I'd post my thoughts on fighter rankings across weight classes and facilitate a discussion about others views.
I am 33 years old and a long time MMA fan. I have seen most of the significant fights in MMA history. I ave very set views on many fighters and would love to discuss those of others. I consider Dan Henderson to be a top 10 LHW and a top 5 MW and a borderline top 20 fighter of all time. This view seems to be a great slight to Henderson, so I've begun this series with the LHW division and will make a subsequent post on MW before continuing to other weight classes and divisions.

25. Jerry Bohlander
UFC LW Tournament Champion; 10-4; 5 fight winning streak; victory over K. Jackson
Honorable Mention:
(a) Kevin Jackson was a UFC MW Tournament Champion
I think #1-14 are fighters who had definite Hall of Fame caliber careers. I would also add Belfort when considering accomplishments at other weights. I think Overeem and Arona would be borderline.

Gray Hair: How To Look Great
Diane Keatons done it. So have Blythe Danner and Helen Mirren. Why shouldnt you? Going gray isnt something that needs to be coveredit can actually look pretty fabulous.
Gray hair is even becoming a bit trendy. Younger stars have been trading their blonde (or brown) tresses for ones with a more silver tone. Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne both have dyed their hair gray recently. Gaga even sported the look on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine for their style issue.
The key, as with any hair color, is to keep it looking fresh, shiny and full of life.
How To Keep Gray Hair Looking Great
If youre lucky enough to be a natural gray, take precautions to keep it looking good. As the Going Gray Blog (goinggrayblog.com) noted, its easy for gray or white hair to get dull and dingy. So even though youre not going to the salon ever six weeks for a dye job, upkeep is important.
Oprahs team of stylists pointed out some common gray hair issues and simple remedies to fix them. Lisa Chiccine, a stylist and owner of the Lisa Chiccine Salon in New York City, said that if your gray hair comes in wiry, it's because it's dry something that can be helped by using a weekly deep conditioner to moisturize. Seeing any yellow tones? Celebrity colorist Mikael Padilla advises you get a violet-based gloss at the salon every six to eight weeks to coat the hair and give it shine.
And of course, choosing the right shampoo is key. Here are some suggestions from the Going Gray blog:

Obviously this is where people go for toys. There are some very unique gifts, but can be a little pricey for what they are. Nevertheless you can pickup some great stuff from their select range.
Alternative online shop is Hibba.co.uk . They sell a huge range of fab gifts at amazing prices. Many parents have recommended this online store to us.
-The EducateFirst Team
A great store to by toys that are not only fun but educational as well. If you join the mailing list they do send you vouchers and special offers including extra special ones for your child on there birthday. It can be a little pricey but i believe you get what you pay for and the vouchers can bring it down to a good price.
The staff are helpful and friendly and are child friendly which i know is a good thing but not always what happens.
This a wonderful toy store for kids. Now I do think it can be pricey but I think the quailty of toys is excellent. They offer a huge range of both indoor and outdoor toys. They also have plently of demo toys out to keep the kids amused while you look around.

Joseph Nelson wrote a review of Marmot Solaris Hooded Jacket - Boys' on January 9, 2014
Does the job.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Good for the price. I often cringe when I look at puffies for me and my wife, this one however wasn't too expensive. I doubt that Marmot will ever read this review but in the off chance that they do, please lengthen the arms in your kids clothing. I bought a boys large, my son is not big, 120 lbs ish and I feel like this jacket will probably only last a season, if that, because the sleeves are pretty short.

I've gotta see how this turns out! Subscribed!
I am hooked.
Love the bandana. I wanna see if this thing ferments.
"Good people drink good beer." -HST
It's been 8 days and it has a nice krausen now! The hop aroma has toned down a bit and I can smell bread, chocolate, and alcohol, which is actually pretty nice. I was doubtful at first but it seems to be doing well so far.
As for South American beers, currently I'm just outside El Bolson aka Hop Capital of Argentina/South America. The beers here are really straightforward pale ale, red ale, stout although Berlina has an IPA, and Antares a Barleywine and RIS. In Chile there's better beer, Szot is my favorite and they have great barleywines, strong ale, and steam beer. Kross is good too and they have a few Belgian styles, an ESB, and a 110 minute IPA that just came out, their Maibock is also solid. Everywhere else I have experienced the beer like substance and it's pretty bad.
Besides, the Word is the principal part of baptism. If in an emergency theres no water at hand, it doesnt matter whether water or beer is used. ~Martin Luther
Looks like it's going to be Beer . . best of luck
Just bottled, used a bottle that used to carry beer like substance and a wrench to put the cap back on. Not sure if it will carbonate but we'll see.
Awesome! Makes me feel like an idiot worrying about temperatures and fermentation times and bottle conditioning.
Subscribed I really want to know what this taste like

3.68/5 rDev +1.1%
From notes. Had on tap at Arcadia.
Appearance is a very light golden straw with a finger of white head. Smells are grains, some lemon, very musty with maybe some wet blanket. Tastes are slight funk at front with some lemony citrus in the middle, bitter finish. There's a good amount of carbonation, but this beer seems a little astringent. Good beer but maybe a little too bitter for me to session with.

3.6/5 rDev -1.1%
Had on tap at Arcadia.
A- Pours a clearer golden straw color. One finger white head shows light retention. Light streaky lacing on the sides of the glass.
S- Light aroma which is the biggest downfall I thought for this beer. Light grassy notes with some earthy hops in the ending. Hay like notes show themselves in the far back of the aroma. Everything was very muted in the overall aroma.
T- Light grainy flavor upfront. Some middle of the road bitterness in the....well middle. Some light grassy notes in the ending with some earthy tones throughout. Pretty much the only thing going for it.
M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation is higher for me but overall a little higher for the style. Flavors were clean but light overall. Light grainy feel left on the palate with some light bitterness in the aftertaste.
D- This beer has enough flavor to make it very drinkable session beer. I like the overall lower ABV on this one. Arcadia has picked up the game I think.

MAP Pharmaceuticals Inc. Stock Downgraded (MAPP)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- MAP Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:MAPP) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- MAPP has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 11.98% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- MAP PHARMACEUTICALS INC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MAP PHARMACEUTICALS INC continued to lose money by earning -$1.09 versus -$2.00 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 41.7% in earnings (-$1.55 versus -$1.09).
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Pharmaceuticals industry and the overall market, MAP PHARMACEUTICALS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Pharmaceuticals industry average. The net income increased by 0.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from -$13.95 million to -$13.82 million.

Tagged: fat girl
Do you know what size you are? You may be reading this and thinking, of course I do – but fellow Canadian, Tierra Sedgemore, the designer of this fab tee, and founder of the Size Sexy movement is trying to change the way women have been letting their sizes define them, one t-shirt at a time!
The message written across these tees is a short, but powerful one. A true rebel of a slogan, it goes against the idea we've all had drilled into our heads since we were little girls, that we are the number on our clothing labels. Notice how, even at the beginning of this post, I asked what size you are, and not what size you wear? That right there is proof enough that we have been letting our sizes determine our worth for far too long.
I've paired mine with my pastel pink tutu from Zelie For She, gunmetal accessories and my grey, Rampage, grunge boots, for a playful, sexy look with a whole lot of attitude!
I may wear a size 22/24, but the size I am is SEXY and you can join the movement too!
Purchase your Size Sexy tees in an assortment of colours on Tierra's website (here), and in store or online at Sexy Plus Clothing. Also, don't forget to follow Tierra on Instagram @tierrasedgemoresizesexy and use the #sizesexy hashtag!
In parting I'll leave you with the words of the lady herself – "Don't be defined by your size. Be size sexy!!!"
Harem Pants For The Tummy Conscious
So, I like to browse my blog's search terms from time to time (okay, a lot).
For those of you who don't know what these are, they are the terms that people type into their search engines which lead them to clicking on my blog, and you can believe me when I say that many if these terms are downright hilarious! I've seen search terms going from "fat nude white girl" all the way to "big black sexy naked beauty."
Yup. Nudity is almost always in there somewhere; but the second most common search terms I see go something along the lines of "how to wear plus size harem pants."
I gather, from how often these search terms come up, that harem pants continue to be a coveted, yet intimidating style among the full figured community, and I totally understand. I was, at one time very much nervous about wearing them too.
See, and I know I've discussed this with you many times before, I have a serious case of the bum-tum (tummy that looks like a second butt in the front), and harem pants have proven to be a huge struggle to pull off (not literally off, that part is easy).
I wrote another post a while back (here) about with a tip on wearing a peplum top, or belt to help disguise your tummy. I still love this idea, but I've come up with another.
As you can see, I've paired the same harem pants (Forever 21+) from my other post, with this absolutely delicious blue, vintage style tee from Addition Elle; and instead of tucking it in and putting my belly on display, I've left it untucked, except for a small bit of it on one side. This way, you have nearly full tummy coverage while still showing off the signature high waist and pockets of the pants at the same time. It's the best of both worlds!
Pair the ensemble with colourful flats and a bright handbag for a casual, chic, put together look that incorporates the on trend look of harem pants with the comfort of knowing you're tummy is hidden.

The Last Leg Of Summer
As the fall collections roll out (I'll admit it, I'm excited), and the days start to noticeably shorten; as the back to school supplies hit the shelves and much to their chagrin, we begin mentioning to our kids that's school will be starting again soon, it's easy to forget that it's still summer – at least for a little while longer here in Montreal.
To remind myself of this, I broke out my white Bermudas from Addition Elle, and 3/4 length sleeve, white blazer from Torrid, this weekend. I'd been waiting to wear them so my best friend's baby shower on Saturday was the perfect occasion!
I paired the pieces with this lovely ombré, ruffled tank top, my trusty nude, T-strap flats, a vintage Berma Paris snakeskin clutch (circa 1975), my gold bangles, pretty stud earrings and a transparent, iridescent chain link necklace from Forever 21 that matched beautifully with the colours in my top.
This outfit was the perfect reminder that summer hasn't ended yet, and as much fun as it is to start planning fall outfits, it's better not to wish your life away, but rather to live in the moment sometimes, and get every little bit of pleasure from life in, while you can!

Taking Louis For A Walk
Yesterday was the day that I finally decided to debut my Louis Vuitton Speedy 40!!! It felt like bringing a new puppy home from the pet shop. I wanted to show the world to him and show him to the world all at the same time. It was glorious, regardless of the fact that my dry cleaning was stuffed inside… (What!? I had errands to run!!!)
When you're planning to take the leap and purchase an investment bag, it's always best to look around, ask questions and compare; after all, you want it to be perfect!
This bag is pure luxury, from the little details of its lock and keys, to its baby soft leather handles. I went with the Speedy because it's just so iconic, and I decided on the 40cm, because big girl always looks good with a big bag!!!
It's not everyday that you build your outfit around a handbag, but yesterday it was the case.
Since I love mixing classic pieces with trendy ones, I paired it with my fabulous, new Parasuco acid wash jeans from Addition Elle, rolled up for a boyfriend look, and their Love & Legend, dusty mauve, graphic tee, which I sized up on, for an edgy, oversized look.
Nude Coach loafers, a statement chain necklace from Forever 21, and my vintage, discontinued Nova Check, Burberry cap tied the look together for a modern street style with a whole lot of class!

Beyond A Belt
I just have to say it – this outfit is all about the belt! I mean, is this gorgeous African designed belt from Rue 114 not everything???
Its large, striking buckle is not only beautifully designed but, is also in the shape of "Gye Nyame", a Ghanian, Adinkra symbol meaning 'Except God (I fear none)' or according to the Rue 114 website, 'Accept God.' I would assume (although I'm no expert) that its meaning is up for interpretation, based on the two spellings I've seen used, but regardless, this belt's message is as beautiful as its design.
I've layered the belt over a gorgeous Michel Studio blazer (Addition Elle) and delicate, printed Cynthia Rowley blouse to really showcase it the way it deserves. A simple pair of white Capri trousers, a fabulous nude, patent loafer and a bold, magenta tote from Kate Spade New York complete the ensemble, for a classic, chic look with both a symbolic and modern twist.
Fat Shaming
Now, I don't like to bring negativity to my blog. I'm always trying to stay positive and keep fighting the fight to take back the word FAT; but I need to address something today.
I recently shared a Daily Mail article on my Facebook page, about how women are fat-shamed three times a day – a sad reality.
The outpouring of comments that I received truly touched me, because so many of you have dealt with being humiliated based on your sizes, just as I have in the past.
I was tormented by my peers in grade school. I endured teasing, name calling, cow noises… You name it. And when I look back, the saddest part of it all was the brave face I had to show till I got home and could cry into my pillow.
I thought the bullying of my school days was behind me, until coincidentally, last night I was publicly, and directly FAT SHAMED, while enjoying one of my favourite unhealthy treats, poutine; and for those of you who aren't familiar, it's a sinful Quebec specialty, consisting of French fries smothered in gravy, and curd cheese – definitely not waistline friendly, but it's my weakness. That and an ice cold Coke.
I posted about it on Facebook almost as soon as it happened, because I was just so taken aback by it that I felt an overwhelming need to share it with all of you.
As many of you know, I recently shared an article on fat shaming, and your wonderful, and heartbreaking comments blew me away and really touched my heart. I haven't been TRULY made fun of in many years, and just tonight, while eating out (poutine of all things) a drunk jerk made waddling and fat belly gestures at me and yelled out "oh yeah, eat that poutine" (in French). I thought I would have been less humiliated than I was, in all honesty, and while I'm not upset, I was really embarrassed, and felt like finishing my food in my car. I didn't, but the fact that I thought about going to hide to finish my meal makes me realize I still have a lot of work to do.
Just thought I would share…
It felt like elementary school all over again. That feeling of being mortified doesn't change. Same anxious ball of stress in the pit of my stomach, same feeling of fighting back tears, same anger. I had forgotten what it felt like to be coldly, and deliberately humiliated. I've been embarrassed in other life situations, due to my size, the mortifying airplane seatbelt check, for one; and people have made comments or assumptions that have bothered me. "You really shouldn't eat that", or servers in restaurants asking me if I want Diet, when I odered a Coke – like, would you ask a skinny person that if she ordered it? Maybe, but when you ask me, I can feel your judgement as I say "no, a regular Coke, please". Is it so unbelievable that I would want to treat myself to something that I love?
Now, I know that the server could have just been checking, to make sure she got my order right. And yes, it's possible that it had nothing to do with my weight; but here's the problem – fat shaming has now become so ingrained in people's minds, that they do it unknowingly, without even realizing that they've been programmed to see us as weak, undisciplined, incompetent, and unworthy.
Big words, I know. And I'm sure my server had no idea how she was making me feel, and probably never thought of herself as someone who humiliated fat people, because society as a whole had told her that viewing me that way was normal.
The @#$hole last night, was doing it on purpose, his buddies snickering along with him, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but all I could do was look down and pretend I didn't hear them.
Like is said,
I still WE STILL have a lot of work to do, because through years of humiliation, we've learned to just accept being laughed at; and I know we've probably all been the victims of our own imaginations before, but the double takes in the street for eating an ice cream cone, or when you can't fit in the booth at a restaurant and the other patrons can't help but steal a second glance at the fat girl trying to squeeze in, the walk of shame to a different table as people whisper amongst themselves, they're real. That @#$hole in the street – he was real.
But we're real too; and we deserve to be treated just like everybody else.
Although I'm disappointed in myself for not speaking up last night, I know that I've come a long way. The journey continues, and I'm so thankful to have all of you, my amazing followers, alongside me for the ride!
Green Tea, Gossip, And Glam
So, I grabbed lunch and a coffee (by coffee, I mean iced green tea, loaded with sugar, cancelling out all possible health benefits) with my favourite ladies yesterday; and I decided to wear one of the newest additions to my closet – this sassy, blush coloured muscle tee from Forever 21+, with the words "eat your heart out" printed across the front.
I am in love with this this top!!! I love a cute graphic tee, but this one is just so perfect, so tongue in cheek, and it works on so many levels!
I paired it with a simple black pencil skirt with waist detail, but I wanted to glam my look up a bit, so I accessorized with this gorgeous iridescent necklace, which looks ridiculously like real opals (swoon), bracelets, as always, and these adorable round, nude framed sunnies which I just picked up on sale at Forever 21, and I absolutely adore!
And finished the look off with my go to footwear this summer, my nude flats, which I will cry over the day they inevitably go to shoe heaven.
It was a beautiful afternoon, filled with giggles, goodies and of course, a little gossip, (don't judge, you know you do it too) and it was just what I needed this week!!!

Even as the National Center for Atmospheric Research projects a big jump in extreme weather events in North America, the Mediterranean and Brazil, longtime skeptic John Christy manages to con the press into "balancing" the story.
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

MADRID (AFP) - Real Madrid were given a Spanish Cup shock on Tuesday when third division minnows and unheralded city neighbours Alcorcon dished out a 4-0 drubbing to the nine-time European champions.
The tiny provincial side, with a miniscule annual budget of just 1.2 million euros - 300 times less than their esteemed visitors - added a notable footnote to their modest history in front of their home fans at the 3,000-capacity Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo.
Real were undone by the club which was only founded in 1971 with an own goal by former Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa, Borja Perez's brace, and Ernesto Gomez.
Not pleasant viewing for Real president Florentino Perez and club director Jorge Valdano watching from the stands.
If they fail to overturn the lopsided scoreline in the second leg of this Last 32 tie it will by no means be the first time Real Madrid have bid a hasty farewell to the Copa del Rey.
The Spanish giants, who last collected the title way back in 1993, were kicked out of Spain's premier cup competition in 2008 by Third Division side Real Union, a loss that triggered the dismissal of coach Bernd Schuster.
Real's embarrassing defeat on Tuesday came despite the presence of Raul and Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini welcoming back injured strikers Karim Benzema and Ruud van Nistelrooy but Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain, who also missed the club's 0-0 draw with Sporting Gijon last weekend, were still sidelined.
Frenchman Benzema was injured in both feet while Dutchman van Nistelrooy has been out for several weeks with a thigh muscle injury.
Pellegrini elected to rest several top players, including Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Kaka, for the match.
Tuesday's reverse came after a bad seven days which started with Real losing to AC Milan in the Champions League and then the goalless draw at Gijon.
Alcorcon's achievement meanwhile knocked a sizeable dent in Pellegrini's pre-match assertion that Real's ambition was "to win every competition".
The capacity of the stadium increased for this match to 5000

Brantley Police barely covers a 5 mile radius. But in that small distance they're stopping dozens of travelers who are taking highway 331 back home. And if you're not obeying the law you could get a ticket.
Labor Day usually signals the end of the summer season. That means it's time for one last weekend at the lake, which is a big help for business.
His name is Bill Stewart and he's changing the way we look at the American flag by giving it a voice--literally.
From the CBS 8 West Alabama Newsroom-- The National Weather Service says an F-1 tornado hit Demopolis Christmas night causing a wide range of damage to more than a dozen homes.

Imagine the Man of Whom I TellHere is a man whom I know well.He knows me and scares me to hell.Nothing assails the facts he deduces.His calculator contains the stats he producesAnd the numbers he with charts and paragraphs reduces.There are things he confuses,But the one thing that refuses himIs imagination.He's not abject, but socially he's a fumbler,Usurps his lines from month-old posts on Tumblr,Hackneyed as last week's leading recurrent headline,Trite as YOLO, to him, you only live online.Honest is his word; kind is his creed,But his soul is lost until he finds what he needs.Don't get me wrong; he's a bundle of fun.The silly things he says roll right off his tongue.He works hard and has brains, but he is a lone fool.The opportunists appraise their newfound tool.He has entropy to order again and again,But you won't see him jumping off into the Seine.He beats back his personal demons,But inside Picasso's little child is screamin'.Does it bother
ColdnessIn its greeting it removes the familiar feeling, warmth.It can then soothe and tranquilize a sense.Then, it can suppress woes, slow disease,Dull the edge, lift a burden.Wary wit and reeking wisdom, Box Elder knife and perfume sage,Are whittled down, dulled, and lost to the frost.Its friendly caress exhausts and turns heedless.Hands hold and begin to shake the being.Pinpricks!A new edge slashes, impales;It is searing ice.Progressively, the grip grows tighter and trituratesAll there is left behind is groundLaxness.
A Common Problem A little while back, I went to my first District Chorus audition. It meant a lot to me, because I have never been able or permitted to audition beforehand due to the discriminating tastes for voice possessed by some persons with control over the matter. I obtained the music for the audition about four weeks before the audition date and immediately began to study, practice, and improve. My first measure was to wake up a half an hour earlier each school morning in order to have time to practice. By the end of the week, I had lost two and a half hours of sleep, which I discerned was innocuous for a 16-year-old such as myself. I spent each Saturday with my voice teacher fastidiously practicing it, except for the second week, on which day my attendance at a wedding was compulsory. The next week, I made up for the time with my voice teacher by spending twice the amount of time as a normal lesson for which her time schedule allowed. I al

Fragile--FFM Day 7Lindsey Stirling blared from my ear buds and I bobbed my head, furrowing my brow. My hand was shoved deep into my purse, searching for my keys. Instead, I found receipts from the Stone Age, a collection of seashells from last year's vacation, and enough pepper spray to blind at least twenty bears.Frustrated, I dumped my portable landfill on the welcome mat; lipstick tubes and loose change bounced across the wood and disappeared, lost beneath the porch. Spreading objects out with my hands, I sighed. No keys. "Damn it all to Hell and back ag--"Glancing up, the box near my door caught my eye. Wrapped with neon-colored paper, a large skull-and-crossbones bow held a handwritten "FRAGILE" note in place. The colors were garish, clashing with the ivory siding. Wrinkling my nose, I pulled the package toward me, keys forgotten. The paper was slick, slipping against the pads of my fingertips like silk. Examining the box, I flipped the "FRAGILE" note over--and gasped.Yanking the ear
The Secret of Mortality A mellow light poured in through the open window, the interior of the hotel suite smelling just like metropolitan New York. The curtains danced and twisted about as the breeze whispered cool life into the suite. Nikola Tesla consistently kept his window open to allow the local pigeons entrance; he always believed that the pigeons of Central Park were the best fed in the country, due to his mix of special seeds and grains. Though, there was one who he favoured above all the others, a female. They shared many hours together in the park, and she provided him with more hope and encouragement than he fancied he could ever need from a human companion. They were positively in love; all he had to do was call and she would land gracefully on his shoulder minutes later. This time, in the suspense before the dawn, she blew in like a heat storm. The swoop of wings awoke Nikola, who was draped on an armchair in the living room. He was t
Complex 57The slick of black, heady oil rolled across the floor, staining the raw surface of the clinic, and the young boy collapsed back into the examination table. He was pale, even for someone who had never seen sunlight, with milky eyes and black spittle hanging from cracked lips."Of those we've seen, the virus has spread most quickly in this patient." Doctor Ripnar was a tall man who tended to sway when he walked, but had hands as deft and precise as any surgeon and he used them now to steady and restrain the boy. "His blood is turning into the same substance you see at your feet." he continued, "We might have been able to keep him alive long enough to find a cure, but we don't have the resources for everyone."Adjudicator Lawrence nervously straightened his tie; his pink and sweaty face bulbous with stress. "Everyone?" he asked, "How many have been infected?""It's in the air supply, Adjudicator. We're all infected."The Adjudicator lurched, virulent juices churning in his stomach. He hat
Jukebox Cafe A string of bells jingled obnoxiously against glass as Hugh entered the Jukebox Café. The first thing he noticed was the pepless fan rotating just enough to move hot air and the smell of grease from one side of the restaurant to the other. No one came for the food, or at least that's what he assumed upon sight of the sticky red tablecloths and French fries that speckled the checkered floor. That and the fact that he was the only soul in sight. He walked up to the bar and squinted at a sign asking customers to "Please seat yourself or ring for service." What kind of café required its customers to ring a bell for service? Not sure if there was an employee in the place, he rang it despite the sheen applied by dirty hands, and the shrill sound barely cut through an old tune produced by the jukebox in the corner. A

Conversation"I am driving in a Hummer. I am on a two lane highway. I was listening to Counting Crows before panic threatened to cut off my air supply. Air supply is a band. I have no idea what they sing. I'm pretty sure they were a clue on Jeopardy once. I…I…have to pull over so I can breathe."Omar put on his blinker and steered the over-compensation-mobile to the shoulder of the road. He fumbled with the lock on the door and his heart felt like it was going to burst through his chest when he tried to get out of the car and couldn't. Seatbelt. It was just the seatbelt. His hands were slick with cold sweat by the time the belt whizzed cheerfully back into its place and he managed to slide out onto the shoulder of the road.He was glad it was so late and glad that the highway was so deserted. He was trembling so hard that the change in his pockets rattled and he never would have been able to speak if someone had pulled up and offered to help. He hated for people to witness his panic.
PilkunnussijaHere's what I think:There's a certain joy in not doing this face-to-face. For one, I don't have to leave my apartment and I have the quiet company of my goldfish and my goldfish alone. (I don't like people, which is why I love books. You can understand that.) For another, I don't have to see your presumably crestfallen and injured attitude when I tear apart the prose you cried and bled and sweated over for weary nights on end. But really the best parts are those uninterrupted hours alone with your manuscript and the shred of you that lies inside. It's a small shred, but an important one. It's the one that tells me who you are and what you think and how you feel and I never have to look at you and be disappointed when the real thing doesn't come up to scratch. As I sit there, un-tensing and re-tensing and tense-shifting and shift-entering (and damn it, wishing English were like German so I could get rid of those clunky space-wasting n-dashes--oh, damn there they are again) I feel li
the PassingThe Passing(Please see Artist's Comments for warnings and disclaimers)The PassingBumblebee sat in silence by the bedside, on the cold linoleum floor, looking to his hands, clasped on his lap. He prayed to Primus. He prayed that his friend wouldn't suffer when... when the time came.'Bee?' An aged, tired voice called him. 'You there?''I'm here!' Bumblebee jumped to his feet and clasped his friend's hand when the other reached out, looking for him. 'How're you feeling?''Tired.' Spike replied, opening his eyes. 'How long have I been out?''Its almost... eleven in the day.' Bumblebee checked his internal chronometers and converted the time for Spike to understand. 'Do you want anything-''Where's Carly?' Spike asked.'She's gone out.' Bumblebee replied, 'she should be back soon.'It hurt to Bumblebee's very spark to lie to his friend, but he didn't want to hurt him with the truth. Carly had passed on five years ago. The entire Autobot team had been present at her funeral, just as they
The Bear Fact People have their reasons for not wanting to engage in given activities. Disregarding any moral questions about the activity, I disdain being a hunter for other reasons. Such reasons include: the contemptible hours that are spent scouting out a viable position, the spending of time and funds in preparation, the tediousness of waiting for the game, and my personal bane of waking up very early in the morning. There is one experience that smote any potential for a desire to hunt for me. The incident began during my fifth grade year, when winter's chill struck early in my area. We suffered a turbulent ice storm for the entire day only a couple days after my birthday in November. My grandfather was absent that morning, for he was out hunting on Ecallaf Mountain at the Terncur Dam on rather dim prospects for a bear in bear season. I trekked to my bus stop, blinking snow out of my eyes as I t

Album Rating: 2.5Hypothesis A: surrounded by hangers on and industry yes-men, Mastodon become detached from reality after creating their "masterpiece" CTS and decide that whatever they shit out will be inherently divine.
Hypothesis B: Mastodon have always sucked, and have focused progressively throughout their career on the singular goal of achieving a higher level of suck.
Hypothesis C: Mastodon's latest album "The Hunter" was actually intended as a segue into a reality TV series starring the band alongside late-night darling Jimmy Fallon entitled, "The Creature Lives". The show will air weeknights after "Wheel of Fortune", and will document the band's ongoing struggles to cope with their celebrity status and the hardships of being stereo-typed as "metal".
