Foxtel's price drop is not a defensive move, it's an attackIn this guest post ZenithOptimedia boss Ian Perrin argues Foxtel's recent move to halve its basic package prices is not just to defend it from the threat of new streaming services. There has been much made of the substantial reductions in Foxtel pricing announced recently. It appears that most of the sentiment suggests that this is a defensive move, designed to take on the multiple streaming services ready to hit our shores. This may well be the case, but my belief is that it's the opposite.
So what is the future of journalism?Ahead of a session at tomorrow's Publish conference on whether native advertising will be the saviour of publishing Newsmodo founder Rakhal Ebeli sets out where how he sees the relationship between brands and editorial playing out.. There are so many question marks hanging over the future of the industry. Will print be extinct? Will journalists be endangered? Will publishers have evolved into a new, unrecognisable species? Here's how I see it developing.
Taming the anaconda: Aussie businesses can beat Amazon at the e-commerce gameWith Click Frenzy kicking off tonight and amid warnings over the state of Australian e-commerce Mark Troselj says there are some simple things local businesses can do to beat international pure-plays like Amazon at their own game. Warnings by GroupM's digital boss last week that Amazon has the potential to crush Australia's e-commerce market "like an Anaconda" should not be written off as hyperbole. Too many Australian businesses have been slow to grasp the enormity of the wholesale transformation of the global retail sector and have procrastinated at the expense of market share and current and future revenue streams.
The media industry is small - but we do need to attract talent from other disciplinesRecently undergraduate Jacob Hkeik penned an opinion piece about a lack of awareness of media agency careers amongst students looking for careers. Here Linda Wong from the Media Federation Australia responds. Two weeks ago we read an article by MGrad graduate Jacob Hkeik, saying media offers some of the most interesting career opportunities to graduates, but most of them don't know media agencies exist. The fact is, the MFA and our members put a lot of work in to educating lecturers and students about the opportunities in our industry and our most recent survey shows that in actual fact, more than 60 per cent of new recruits to the industry came from MFA-accredited universities.
'The one weapon we have has Australia written on the blade'During the Hector Crawford Memorial Lecture at the Screen Forever conference, writer, broadcaster and film maker Phillip Adams called for a repeat of the Government largesse of the 1970s and for the "cultural and political idealism" of the Whitlam administration to save Australia's film industry. Read his full address here. Hector Crawford. Named for the Trojan prince. Presumably his parents also considered other classical heroes – Rome's Horatio, the Carthaginian Hannibal or Hercules, son of Zeus. On balance I think Hercules might have been a better fit given Hector's herculean efforts to get local drama onto Australian television. I first met Hector in the mid-fifties, hours before television was introduced to this country and years after the Americans and British had managed to crush what was left of an Australian film industry through their ownership of Hoyts and Greater Union.
Letter to the editor: Network Ten defends programming scheduleNetwork Ten's director of corporate and public communications Neil Shoebridge has penned a letter to the editor in response to an opinion piece by Alex Hayes on Friday on Ten's upfront presentation the previous evening. Dear Alex, The column you posted on November 14 described Network Ten's 2015 programming slate as "frugal", "lean" and "minimalist". That description is inaccurate, misleading and puzzling. At our Upfronts 2015 presentation on November 3, we laid out a full 12-month schedule, including eight new local productions:
Network Ten: Acquisition readyThe frugal programming slate unveiled by Ten last night is that of a network ready for an injection of cash and programming from new owners, writes Alex Hayes. There's a saying that necessity is the mother of all invention, and Network Ten certainly got inventive at its upfronts last night.
How Netflix could help save the local media industryWhile many predict the official arrival of global streaming giant Netflix in Australia will damage local media players Kevin Dillon argues it might actually end up being a boon for the savvy ones. I first encountered the notion of online DVD rental between pints of Sierra Nevada at the Black Watch (a dive bar in Los Gatos, California). It was late 1999, and my friends and I were toasting my two years survival in Silicon Valley. Those were halcyon Internet bubble days in the Bay Area. Notable successes (Amazon) were emerging. Others (webvan) burned brightly but briefly. Most wouldn't see the other side of the 2000 tech wreck.
Nissan content chief Dan Sloan on the art of brand storytellingDan Sloan, a former broadcast journalist for Thomson Reuters, is editor-in-chief of Nissan's Global Media Center in Yokohama. He oversees a team of brand journalists who produce multi-media content, known as "kotozukuri" or storytelling. In this cross-posting from Mumbrella Asia editor Robin Hicks spoke to Sloan about how an in-house content house works, the ROI of content, and the impact of the brand-side content creation concept on agencies. So how do agencies get involved with the Global Media Center?
Advertising and marketing world: It's time to fix ourselvesIn an open letter Jon Holloway sets out a manifesto for the changes he thinks the advertising and marketing community need to make to save itself. It's time for change, radical and evolutionary change. No point us all talking about it, constant rhetoric and then back to the day jobs to do things they way they have all been done. Working in the advertising and marketing world is one of the best jobs any person can have, we play with ideas all day and get paid to do it. We are all on the hook to get this amazing industry back on track, because in all honesty, we are in serious trouble.
New ad is nice, but Qantas needs a lot more than advertising to save itselfIn a guest post for Mumbrella BrandMatters managing director Paul Nelson looks at Qantas' new TV campaign, arguing while it is a beautiful piece of advertising it is not enough to overcome the brand challenges of the past three years. On Sunday night Qantas launched its new TV campaign across all the major Australian TV networks. The TV-led campaign is an attempt to get Australians to reconnect emotionally with the embattled brand. It is unquestionably a beautiful piece of advertising. But from a brand strategy perspective, it isn't enough to overcome the brand's challenges of the past three years and increase flagging revenue.
When brands sound yellowIn a guest post for Mumbrella, composer and music branding specialist Anthea Varigos analyses the musical content of Australia's TV commercials from throughout 2014. It's obvious once you notice. Ads have their own musical colour palette. As I begin this project, the screen is soon awash with beauty products, insurance and cars. Before long I start to hear similarities in the instrumental pallets and genre choices for various product segments. There is "pink" sounding music to capture your attention if you are a girl. This frequently has an upbeat dance vibe and a rather stereo-typical chimes/bells sound because girls love pretty things. Olay Regenerist is a perfect example.
Helloworld CMO: Creating a brand from scratch is like an icebergEarlier this year a group of well-known high street travel agents rebranded under the Helloworld banner. Steve Jones sat down with marketing boss Kim Portrate to discuss the challenges of rebranding a legacy business, why creating a brand from scratch is like an iceberg, and how the job is never done. It's no secret that high street travel agents are under pressure from their low-cost online counterparts. Add that to the fact the sector has been dominated by retail giant Flight Centre and you start to get the scale of the challenge facing the new Helloworld brand.
The telco 'triple play' wars and not subscription video services will reshape the media landscapeWhile the video streaming battle has garnered most of the headlines it is just one piece of a much more lucrative puzzle being pieced together by the telcos. Nic Christensen talks to some of the key players in the looming "triple plays" war set to redefine the media world. Brace yourself, a media winter is coming. But it's not the impending streaming war between Presto, Netflix and newly minted Stan that you've been hearing so much about that will redefine the Australian media landscape, but rather what sides the various media companies fall on.
The problem for media agencies looking to recruit graduates? They don't know you existMedia offers some of the most interesting career opportunities to graduates, but most of them don't know they exist, argues MGrad graduate Jacob Hkeik. Last year I barely knew how media agencies worked. While they can be big and complex beasts I am not sure the industry is doing enough to explain themselves to potential graduate recruits. And that's before you add in the intricacies of each specialisation.
The Palace's Anthony Maras to direct one of the most coveted Hollywood scripts of 2012
An Australian film-maker has signed on to direct and produce one of the most highly regarded unmade scripts in Hollywood.
South Australian-based Anthony Maras will direct A Country of Strangers, which was number two on last year's Black List of 2012.
The script was written by Sean Armstrong, an American, but is based on the true events of the disappearance of three siblings, the Beaumont children from an Australian beach in January 1966. Detective Geoff Harper's search lasted 40 years.
Maras' Anthouse Films will also produce the picture.
Maras told Mumbrella: "It's interesting with A Country of Strangers – it's an Australian true story but with the world we live in, Sean Armstrong first read of the case on the internet and started developing it from there. However, it will be a full Australian production, shooting here, with 99.9 per cent Australian crew."
"We've had offers from sales agents and distributors from overseas but this is so early on. We need to make sure the script is where we want it. The black List has increased interest exponentially but we're neck deep in story," Maras added.
According to Deadline, A Country of Strangers was optioned by Christos V Konstantakopoulos' Faliro House Productions and packaged by Verve which represents both Armstrong and Maras. Maras is managed by Kaplan/Perrone.
Maras' short film The Palace won a slew of awards last year. It received two Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards, Best Short and Best Short Screenplay. a best Australian short Film at both FlickerFest and the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Adelaide film Festival.
The Palace is one of the few Australian short films to get a theatrical release in recent years. It preceded Kieran Darcy-Smith's Wish You Were Here throughout Palace Cinemas.
The film was also selected to open The Sundance Film Festival in 2012.

Conservation Groups Plan Lawsuit to Protect Sperm Whales
Earlier this month, several conservation groups, including Oceana, announced plans to file a lawsuit against the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to protect sperm whales from deadly, mile-long drift gillnets used in the California drift gillnet fishery.

Loggerhead Sea Turtles Gain Protection with Swordfish Drift Gillnet Fishery Restriction
Yesterday, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced an area closure for the California swordfish drift gillnet fishery after facing mounting pressure from Oceana and our partner conservation groups. This closure, known as the Pacific Loggerhead Conservation Area, will occur from July 25 to August 31, 2014 in an area that stretches just north of Santa Barbara and runs south of San Diego, and will prevent endangered loggerhead sea turtles from entangling and drowning in these indiscriminant nets.

Wait till the month of June next year.
This was the response of Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi on Wednesday, answering a question to whom he would hand over the reins of the government following his observation on Saturday that he would like to step aside the positions of power and politics to get closer to people.
The Chief Minister was talking to reporters after launching the website for the World Classical Tamil Conference to be held in Coimbatore in June 2010. He added that the intervening period was a fairly long one.
Asked for his comment on the prevalence of two viewpoints in the DMK that while one section wanted Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to assume charge, another section was against his (Mr. Karunanidhi's) retirement, the DMK president replied that "we would consider the two divergent viewpoints".
To External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna's observation that the Katchatheevu agreement [signed between India and Sri Lanka in 1974] was a settled matter, the Chief Minister said that even though the pact was considered a settled issue, there were mutually acceptable provisions, particularly the access to pilgrims and fishing rights of Tamil Nadu fishermen. "These provisions formed part of the agreement at the time of concluding the pact. But, there were reports that during the Emergency, the Sri Lankan government had gone back on the provisions. Subsequent events confirm them," he said, adding that the violation of the provisions should be noted.
Elaborating his point further, the Chief Minister said that the review of the agreement was not the issue now. But, what was extremely important was that no harm should be caused to the fishermen of the State and Sri Lankan Tamils.
Asked about the fishermen's ongoing protest against the draft Marine Fisheries (Regulation and Management) Bill, he expressed the hope that the Union government would take an appropriate decision.
On the argument of a section of educationists that the Equitable Standard Education should envisage the instruction of education only through the mother tongue, Mr Karunanidhi replied that the objective was not to ignore the mother tongue. On the language issue, the policy formulated by former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai was being followed. Before taking a decision, the benefits that would accrue through the mother tongue and those to be yielded through English would be considered.
As for the outcome of the Vandavasi and Tiruchendur by-elections, he said his party was capable of converting even adversities to its advantage. Asked about the charge of the Opposition that the ruling party was committing irregularities in the two constituencies, Mr Karunanidhi quipped: "That's the election tune of the Opposition."

It's Christmas Eve, I have food to prepare, presents to wrap, house to clean, washing everywhere, pack the car and drive an hour to my parents later this afternoon. I have no idea how I can do it......why?
Because I have the most stupendous HANGOVER ever. OMG I am not talking a take a nurofen and have a can of coke type hangover. It is a drinking copious amounts in 42 degree heat for 9hrs type hangover. I cannot even stomach a piece of vegemite on toast. The kids were up at 630am and all I can do is lie on the couch and make sure they dont have a major accident and chuck some food their way every now and then.
It is going to be such a long day.
No wonder I havent done this since pre-kids. The aftermath is terrible!

Empathy OP, that was me two days ago. Had promised to take the kids to the zoo and couldn't let them down.
Maybe chuck the kids under the sprinkler?
Good luck!

You and my DH would be the best of friends right now. Somehow he got absolutely wasted yesterday thankfully he had the brains to sleep on the couch.
Posted 24 December 2012 - 07:53 AM
Oh dear....that was me yesterday.....I had a night of vodka with my neighbour.......he was pouring.......and the later it got the bigger they were..........
MUCH better today though!!!!!!
Have a shower and some chips! That made me feel slightly less deathly.

I have the red wine hangover this morning.
And I have to work until 1pm. Been here since 8. 2 hours down, 3 to go.
Looooonggggg morning......
Posted 24 December 2012 - 09:05 AM
How do I get through going to the shops today and NOT killing anyone?
It will be like the world ended other day
Stupid me for not being ready dammit
Posted 24 December 2012 - 09:26 AM
Oh dear...
I've done it maybe once or twice since DD and I think I've finally learned.... it's not bloody worth it
But I'm sure there'll be an exception and I'll find myself on the verge of death and only have myself to blame with DF finger pointing and laughing
Hope it's not long before you feel human again!
Posted 24 December 2012 - 09:44 AM
Definitely do not attempt the housework or washing. They can wait.
Wrap the presents. Have a lie down.
Throw the ingredients for whatever you have to prepare into an esky with an ice brick. Have a lie down.
Pack the car. Have a lie down.
Get in the car and sleep for an hour while DH drives to your parents house.
Hand esky to parents, apologise. Lie down.
By sunset you will feel better, it always seems to be the way.
Posted 24 December 2012 - 09:50 AM
Oh Ehill you are so funny, I feel for you
Definitely leave the housework and washing, no one cares about that. Are any of the kids old enough not to believe in santa - get them to wrap the presents
I have no suggestions,the only thing I can offer is sympathy, have been there so many times myself
Posted 24 December 2012 - 10:57 AM
I made that mistake on Saturday. My only consolation was that at least I'd remembered my limits before the Christmas season and can be more careful from her on in. That and I was up all night anyway with cranky baby and so got plenty of opportunity to drink water and ease the pain of the next day.
Posted 24 December 2012 - 11:00 AM
Oh no, sucks to be you!
Will you be okay to drive? You could still be over the limit.
Do you have any anti-nausea tablets hanging around?
I suggest a long shower, while sitting in the bottom of it, not standing. Force yourself to eat and drink lots of water, but not too quickly.
Sleep would help, but probably impossible. Good luck! Just imagine how much better you'll feel tomorrow!
Posted 24 December 2012 - 11:47 AM
Thanks everyone for your sympathy and understanding. I dont have to leave until 3 or 4pm and we finished up yesterday around 8pm so I will be fine to drive.
I love the PP saying 'and then lie down' which is exactly what I have had to. I am so sick that any effort requires a 5 minute lie down to quell the nausea.
Anyway DS has gone down for his nap, DD is watching sesame street so I may sneak away for a little kip now. Presents are wrapped, I could do that while sitting down.
It could be worse......My DH is currently at the main Mall in the CBD christmas shopping with his ginormous hangover

Spanking super duper bling cleaner!" by Saima Shaikh
Lakeland Sonic Jewellery Cleaner
I have been super impressed since I purchased this sonic cleaner! It has done a superb job on restoring shine on all my jewellery. I have cleaned my costume, silver, gold jewellery and it has emerged gleaming sparkling and extremely bright and shiny! It is very easy to use. Just add warm water up to the maximum line and two - three drops of washing up liquid and choose your desired temperature. This cleaner is amazing! No need to use any chemicals. Plus I have tried it on my watch and glasses and they came out mirror shine. No need to waste time using a cloth and chemicals!

Introducing News Feeds (RSS)
News feeds are an easy way to keep up with websites without having to constantly visit them. When a website is updated, that site's newsfeed can notify you and give you a link to the new content.
All you need is a feed reader (also known as an "aggregator"). Most current web browsers have feed readers built in. You can also use web-based readers or dedicated software.
How do I start using News Feeds?
To get started you need a feed reader. The four most common types are:
Email software (MS Outlook 2007)
Web browsers
If you are using a current browser like Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+ or Safari 2+, your browser already has a feed reader built in. All you need to do is click the link to a news feed and your browser will display the feed and/or prompt you to subscribe.
Aggregator websites collect feeds from multiple sources into one single website. It's an easy and convenient way to use feeds, particularly if you use more than one computer. Popular aggregator websites include:
Many web portals and customisable start pages include user configurable feed modules.
Feed reader software
Feed readers run on your computer like any other program. Some examples:
For more options, see the DMOZ Feed Reader, News on Feeds listings or Wikipedia's RSS Reader entry which links to lists of feed readers.
Email software (MS Outlook 2007)
Visit the Microsoft Office website for instructions on how to add a feed in Outlook 2007.
How do I find feeds and subscribe to them?
Finding Feeds
News feeds on this website are linked using the industry-standard orange icon.
There is a "feeds" module in the right-hand column of most pages, which lists a selection of feeds.
Subscribing to feeds manually
When you see the feed logo in a web page
- Right-click the icon or link
- Select "Copy shortcut" or "Copy link location"
- Go to your chosen feed reader
- Paste the link into your reader's "add feed" process (the exact procedure varies)
Subscribing using browser features
For each page on the website, the most relevant feed is attached using an "autodiscovery" link. What this means is compatible browsers will display the feed logo in their location bar or toolbar. For example, Internet Explorer 7 displays a "Feeds" button:
While Firefox shows the logo in the location bar:
When you see the logo in your browser:
- Click the feeds button
- Your browser will display the feed and/or prompt you to subscribe to the feed
Each browser and reader is a little different. If in doubt, you should view the help file for your software.
Terms & Conditions
By accessing a News Digital Media RSS Feed ("News Digital Media Feed") from News Digital Media sites you agree to be bound by the Standard Licence Terms.

This comprehensive self-study certification course is designed to teach the novice or pro everything they need to understand and succeed in every phase of the public utilities business.
Order Now
The beleaguered Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) has a new assailant (em U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL). Stearns's bipartisan legislation, H.R. 2562, the "Ratepayer Protection Act," proposes repeal of section 210 of PURPA, which requires electric utilities to purchase power at avoided costs.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking on "Standards of Communication Among Natural Gas Pipeline Companies and their Customers" (Docket No. RM96-1-000). At the same time, Commissioner James J. Hoecker urged the natural gas industry to continue its voluntary efforts to develop standards for electronic bulletin boards (EBBs). Commissioner Vicky A. Bailey agreed that the gas industry should take the lead, but warned that it has only a limited window of opportunity before the FERC takes over. Commissioner Donald F. Santa, Jr.
In three similar orders, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has given itself regulatory authority over linked and integrated intrastate pipelines in certain situations.
The first order finds the Kansas Pipeline (KP) system a single interstate pipeline system subject to the FERC's Natural Gas Act (NGA) jurisdiction, requiring KP to file an application for certificate authorization (Docket No. RP95-212-000).
In a recent article ("The Efficient Utility: Labor, Capital, and Profit," Sept. 1, 1995), Taylor and Thompson attempt to measure the
economic efficiencies of 19 investor-owned utilities.
The authors use a method of efficiency measurement proposed by M.J. Farrell in a pioneering paper published nearly 40 years ago.
On Saturday, November 11, WPL Holdings, Inc. announced its three-way merger with IES Industries Inc. and Interstate Power Co. to form Interstate Energy. The very next day, in a full-page ad that ran in Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Madison Gas & Electric Co. launched its counteroffensive, featuring Boris the Pig.
"Hi (em I'm Big Boris," the ad begins. (The face of a handsome pig with a large snout stares back at the reader.) "My friends and I crave Radical Electric Deregulation.
In thinking about transmission pricing for a competitive electric industry, we should remember that the fundamental objective of competition is to increase economic efficiency. Improved economic efficiency, after all, leads to better use of resources, lower costs, and long-term benefits for consumers.
As the generation side of the electric industry becomes increasingly deregulated and transmission migrates toward common carrier status, an easily administered and fairly applied pricing system must be developed. The concepts of "postage stamp" tariffs and "contract paths" lose all logical viability. They possess no totally encompassing tie between the provider of the service and the revenues for that service.
By its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on wholesale electric competition, commonly called the "Mega-NOPR" (or "Giga-NOPR"), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced big plans for electric transmission.
The FERC would require "functional" unbundling of transmission from generation. The Mega-NOPR requires utilities that own transmission to file tariffs for point-to-point and network transmission services, based on guidelines in pro forma tariffs published by the FERC.
Bunker Hill. Gettysburg. Pearl Harbor. Iwo Jima. The Cold War. Each of these famous conflicts resonates in our history books. Despite the end of the Cold War, we may face another battle, this time between the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the states over jurisdiction.
For the partners in a utility merger, the celebration must wait. After opening the most delicate of dialogues, and then negotiating the price and closing the deal, the merger partners must yet gain the approval of regulators. The application may lie sealed in its FedEx pouch, safely on its way to Washington.

Saturday 29 November 2014
The IASB is undertaking a broad-based initiative to explore how disclosures in IFRS financial reporting can be improved.
In the IAS 1 amendments project the IASB will consider narrow-focus amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to address some of the concerns raised at the Discussion Forum. An Exposure Draft of proposed amendments was published in March 2014 with a comment deadline of 23 July 2014.
Next steps: Redeliberations for these amendments will begin in Quarter 3 2014.
View the Amendments to IAS 1 project page.
The IASB is exploring amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows to require a reconciliation of the opening and closing liabilities that form part of an entity's financing activities, excluding the changes in contributed equity. The IASB will also consider short term amendments to IAS 7 to improve disclosures about restrictions on cash.
Next steps: Further outreach is being undertaken with users and preparers of financial statements with a view to publishing an Exposure Draft in Quarter 4 of 2014.
View the Reconciliation of liabilities from financing activities project page.
In this project the IASB is researching how materiality is being applied in practice in IFRS financial statements. It will then consider whether further guidance on materiality is needed. Also in this project the IASB is undertaking work to consider whether additional guidance could be developed that assists entities to determine what a significant accounting policy is.
Next steps: IASB staff will request help from national and regional standard-setters for information about the application of materiality in their jurisdictions. A summary of this research will be discussed by the IASB in Quarter 3 of 2014 which will then assist in consideration of the next steps for materiality.
View the Materiality project page.
The objective of this research project is to identify and develop a set of principles for disclosure in IFRS that could form the basis of a Standards-level project. The focus is on reviewing the general requirements in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and considering how they might be revised.
Next steps: The IASB will consider the results of research about disclosure principles for the organisation, placement, format and linkage of information, in particular the use of cross-referencing in financial statements, in Quarter 3 of 2014.
View the Principles of Disclosure project page.
The IASB will review disclosures in existing Standards to identify and assess conflicts, duplication and overlaps. This project will be informed by the principles being developed in the Principles of Disclosure project.

Mitsubishi's HC3800 home projector is a nicely-priced system displaying at 1080p Full HD, which offers a good alternative to large HD TVs for those seeking the big screen experience from the comfort of your own home.
Mitsubishi boldly claim that the HC3800 is "what movie theater projectionists use when they go home", and we've managed to get hold of one to see if there's any truth behind the blurb and find out what you can expect.
Let's take a closer look.............
OUT OF THE BOXThe Mitsubishi HC3800 is a fairly standard-looking projector, with a small, shiny black body offering the user a discreet yet reasonably stylish addition to the living room. The projector comes boxed with a remote control and 2 x AA batteries, a 1.8m power cord, RGB signal cable, lens cap and a replacement lamp attachment. ... More content Available see links below

Lavender the Fairy Princess - Chapter 2Lavender the Fairy Princess - Chapter 2 by Lumenovus
I wandered to where I couldn't hear the music any longer, and had only the night breeze and crickets for company. Even on festival nights, this was my only enjoyment. Maybe I was ugly and undesirable, but nature was still beautiful. The crickets would never call me a freak, the breeze wouldn't skip over me and find someone else's cheeks to caress.
I looked at the moon hanging over the distant peaks of the palace, and wondered what mysteries lay beyond my father's kingdom. There has to be more to life than this, I thought. What do people do out there, in other kingdoms and the wilderness? How do they find love? As I thought about the outside world, I suddenly thought of that poor stranger Bolton and Simon had brought.
There was something about him that had kept him in the back of my mind all night, I realized. His speech was so
Lavender the Fairy Princess - Chapter 1Lavender the Fairy Princess - Chapter 1 by Lumenovus
I can think back to the first time I saw him. I didn't think of the word beautiful as I do now, that came as we grew to know each other. However, I could not stop looking at the traveler that came to my father's kingdom. It wasn't simply because he was foreign. My eyes were just drawn to him, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to say exactly why.
I am Princess Lavender of the Luna fairies. The Luna tribe is almost the largest in the realm of Faerie, second only to the Sol tribe. If I had been born a boy, I would one day rule the Luna fairies. Instead, my cousin Braxon will rule, since I've no brothers. As for me? My father, King Almaden, promised me to the heir of the Sol Fairies, Prince Apollo, as a wife. A purely political move that promised to unite the two most powerful fairy tribes, as well as ruin my life.
ASoIaF: Waking the Other DragonASoIaF: Waking the Other Dragon by chichichichipndale
A red comet appeared in the night sky, marking the beginning of a new era. On the ground below, on the plains of the Dothraki Sea, the scant remains of Khal Drogo's khalasar were gathered around the chief's dry funeral pyre.
At the base of the pyre was Mirri Maz Duur, bound in place on a stake. When her executioner approached her, there was a humored smirk on her face. All she saw before her was a grief-stricken silver-haired young girl with a death wish.
"You're a fool, girl. Do you really think I'll offer you my screams?"
Dany was holding a torch in one hand, gazing toward Mirri through the orange glow. She remained calm despite the sorceress's condescending words.
"It's not your screams I want."
She narrowed her eyes in resentment as she reflected on the travesty that had brought her this point.
"You must know what I'm plotting. It was you who taught me how it must be done."
Her stoic expression faded and was replaced by a tiny smile. What she said next were the exact words Mirri ha
Odin Sphere: OracleOdin Sphere: Oracle by chichichichipndale
Velvet Valentine was alone in the cave. Rusty metal chains kept her wrists shackled above her head. Her captors had stripped her of her equipment and abandoned her a moment earlier, leaving her for dead in the nest the dragon king. No one had come to rescue her.
The cavern remained silent until she noticed the eyes. It began with a pair of enormous rubies growing out of the stone wall in front of her. When they loomed closer and slithered out of the shadows, she saw they were part of the dragon's reptilian face rather than any of the rock formations surrounding her.
Wagner slowly inched forward until his nose was roughly even with Velvet's. When he breathed, warm air brushed against the toned skin of her arms, thighs, and midriff. The noble reds and golds that loosely clothed her curved frame must have made her a finely wrapped delicacy for the creature. As he slowly inspected her, his snout remained in the shape of a perpetual grin.
Velvet rolled her eyes, speaking to her tormentor in

March 5, 2007
Two kayakers were out on the James River this afternoon when their boat overturned in the fast moving current. One man was able to swim to shore while the second went missing for several hours.
It all began just before 4 p.m. when two men in their late 30's were kayaking on the James River and somehow their boat capsized. One of the men made it to shore near the Canton Public Boat Landing while the second remained missing.
"We put the boats in downstream in case the individual had come downstream in the water and worked our way up and located him on an island very close to where he came out of the boat," said Captain Steve Martin of the Lake Monticello Water Rescue Team.
It took water rescue units from Scottsville, Arvonia and Lake Monticello about two hours to locate the man. He was cold and wet but seemed healthy.
"We did turn him over to EMS to be checked out. He was cold. This water will take your body heat away very quickly so they checked him for hypothermia and he did have a slight leg injury," Martin said.
While neither man was hurt badly, Captain Martin says the conditions right now are pretty tough.
"The river is up right now considerably from the rain we had previously. All of it dumps into the James so it is really not a good time to be on the James fishing or rafting, either one," he said.
Both men were wearing life vests and helmets but neither were wet suits. Rescuers say the water is probably in the low 40's and of course that can turn deadly pretty quickly.
