Although not the same, but this made me think of the book series I read called Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. Hehe.

Ok, if I have time, I'm going to revise this some more, but I have a lot of writing that needs to be done for school and such.
The Labyrinth
Day 1
It was raining and the sun was setting when we found the temple. There were two of us: Jay and me. Because the inside was dry, and it was easier than setting up in the rain, we took shelter in there for the night. We couldnt start a fire, but our lights worked, so we sat up for several hours talking while inspecting the entrance chamber where we were. The wood was old, and every move, no matter how minute, caused the building to groan. Sometimes we would hear groans even when we didnt move. Anything made of cloth had rotted and there was still a slight odor left from that. The night was boring, but Jay played a sick joke after we went to sleep. He whispered in my ear as I slept, and then denied it in the morning.
Day 2
The rain had stopped for a few hours in the morning. We spent the time checking out a small grave-yard outside the temple. There was a grave where nothing grew. Jay looked closely at the marker, and found the name had been marked out. The grave had attracted our attention because it was alone. All the others had been in large plots where entire families were. The rain then began again just as fiercely, so we had to get back inside. Jay tripped in the mud and gave himself a cut on the solitary marker we had been so interested in. Stupid! He was lucky that I had packed the first-aid. He always forgot. During the night I was awaken by the sound of movement outside in the foliage. I woke Jay, but he was convinced it was an animal. His words calmed me slightly, but I spent an hour awake with the feeling of being watched.
Day 3
Jays sick. His cut has swollen and he has a fever. The walk back to the ferry was over a days walk. I had to leave him at the temple. The rain stopped as I entered the jungle towards the river, but I was still miserably wet the whole time. I set up my tent when the night came. At noon tomorrow I should reach the ferry.
Day 4
I must have made some mistake during my hike. I found myself back at the temple. I walked inside to check on Jay before trying again. He wasnt there, but I could smell vomit from deeper inside another chamber. I found him in a corner. He was delusion, and raving. He kept mentioning a pale-lady. He was scratching himself, and there were marks were he had broken the skin. I stayed up with him during the night, but around midnight I must have fallen asleep. I woke the next morning, and Jay was gone.
Day 5
There was blood leading farther into the temple, and I follow it. It was colder inside. Being as there was no natural light, I used my flash-light to follow the sporadic drops of blood. But then it ends. I was so concerned with following that trail that I dont know where I am. I called for Jay, but there was no answer. I started to cough. I felt my forehead and it was burning. My flash-light went out. I began to hear whispers in the darkness, and something touched my hair.
Day ???
I cant tell how long Ive been here. Ive seen the pale-lady in the corner of my eyes. She casts a gloomy light in the darkness. When I try to sleep she whispers to me about Jay. I can feel things crawling over my skin, and I've cut myself trying to claw them off. I can see a lit door, and there are voices telling me to go through it
Im scared.

Erm, wow. I'm not really affected by scary stories, but that one actually kind of spooked me. Maybe I shouldn't have read that before going to bed...

Alright. This takes place about a century before the story I submitted last time. So... here goes.
From the journal of Marcus Antony. Original text in Italian, with American-English translation (provided by the author at the time of writing) in the margins.
June 6th, age 8
Today I found what? What
she? What do I call her? Pet isnt right. Companion implies things.
Her name is Petra. I guess that will have to do.
I was right outside the playground fence when she found me, bruised & bloodied. Robots of her
are not to be near schools, but I could see no sign of any master or client, and she was obviously damaged. She shied away as I approached her, but didnt run: she knew I wasnt human and wouldnt harm her.
Please, she said. Over and over, just the one word. I doubted she knew much more Italian. I spoke to her in English, after French and German prompted only looks of confusion. She still didnt speak, aside from Please, now in English with a poorly-programmed American accent, communicating only by nods & headshakes. Moving her to a grove of trees to avoid the suspicion of police and human adults, I very carefully converted my magic to electricity for her nanites, allowing them to repair her wounds. Once she was sufficiently repaired, I brought her here to my workplace, careful not to alert Mother; poor woman wouldnt understand.
Petra is asleep. Her bruises lead me to suspect internal damage, perhaps beyond the capacity of her simple immune system. While Im at it, I might as well do something about her ridiculously huge breasts. Theyre causing problems for balance, movement, and energy efficiency. Ill see about voice modulation, too.
One cant be too careful with a bot of this kind.
June 7th,
early morning
I was right about the modulation.
Petras vocabulary was mostly limited to high-volume groans and shrill cries; she nearly woke Mother.
She (Petra) is back asleep. Im just starting on her modifications; her injuries were worse than Id guessed. I suppose it makes sense that her nanites are programmed to reduce bruising.
Its an oversight that this isnt a crime. I cant imagine that the kind of person who can do this to a robot would have any problem assaulting a human.
Tomorrow Ill see what I can do about Petras volcabulary.
June 8th
Petra is doing well. Im very busy.
June 9th
Personal Note- Today, Mother told me about the androids the Japanese are training. Ill have to try to meet some of them.
Petra is reading right now: C.S. Lewis, I think. Shes confident in speech, but insists on an American accent; her Italian is imperfect, but shes progressing well.
Ive been exposing her to magicher level of consciousness increases rapidly.
June 10th
I called Jule this afternoon about Petra. She confirmed my suspicions.
June 11th
This is it. Petra has built in capacity every time Ive given her magic, and shes now producing magic on her own. Jule warned me not to wait; Im cutting it close as it is. Today, Ill push Petra over the edge, into complete sentience. I have to prepare.

I wish to apologize to those of you who have submitted an entry already for the lack of critique from me. I was having trouble thinking of an idea for this, so I decided not to read your stories until I had some idea of what I'm writing. Now my entry is just about finished, so I can comment on yours a bit. =)
Tenshi - awesomesauce. I love it when stories have such a wide scope, and that's hard to pull off in a short story. Now I wonder what happened to humanity....and I wonder what sort of life the survivors could make for themselves in New York. Without technology, how does one survive in a city of metal?
Rolaoi - interesting, for sure. I can't say I was very creeped out by it, but I never am. I have a few issues with the writing, especially day 5. Which tense are you using, exactly? It keeps jumping between past and present. And I find the ending of day 5 very strange. You'd think the protagonist would add something about going back, no?
I like the last entry, though. ^_^ Appropriately creepy.
Thebes - the story is interesting, but what happens at the end? It's terribly unclear. Why are there no more entries? Did Petra do something to Marcus after rising to sentience, or did you just randomly choose to end the journal there?
You can expect my entry tonight.

@Tam: I couldn't decide how to end it, so I just left off the last entry. I meant to ask whether you guy thought it needed a better conclusion, but I forgot. Anyway, here it is.
Journal of Marcus Antony, cont.
June 14th
I'm not sure what I expected exactly, but it wasn't this. She's given me a nickname. Ash, after the robot in the movie
. She refuses to call me by my name, insisting "Ash is much nicer." I don't understand why, but she seems to get a kind of perverse pleasure from annoying the <expletive scratched out> out of me.
Other than that, no problems at all. She's read an English, Italian, and German dictionary, downloaded the archives of the American Film Institute, and learned the rules & controller mapping of every game since the 21st century. Her accent is correct, now.
As I'm writing this, Petra is pestering me to let her read this journal. I might as well let her; I'll never hear the end of it otherwise.

2/7 (two primes, separated by a prime)
I can't believe it! Literally. I've dreamed for so long of making a meaningful scientific discovery that my mind can't seem to accept that it's actually happening. It's all thanks to Joanna, really, her ideas on nonlinear oscillatory systems gave us the push forwards we needed. Letting her join the team was the best decision I've made in a long while....
But even if I don't believe it, this really might be it. We've managed to use zero-point energy to get two hydrogen nuclei to a distance of only a few hundred femtometers. If we succeed in overcoming the EM force entirely, and bring the two nuclei together, then we have it. Cold fusion! I will be remembered forever as the man who handed humanity free energy. Forget Einstein, it was Doener who saved the planet! I can almost taste it. We're so close, so close....
8/7 (The only Fibonacci cube and its aliquot sum)
Not much extra progress over the last few days. We're mostly analyzing data from the last experiment, and looking for ways to improve the system. Ordinarily, this wouldn't bother me, but I'm frustrated by the pace we work at. With the carrot dangling in front of me, how can I not run forwards? At least I have people helping me. The (nonexistant) lord only knows how slow this would be if I worked alone.
11/7 (The senary and decimal representations of the first Woodall number)
I'm frustrated beyond belief - Joanna and Galen are apparently dating. We're standing at the brink of the greatest scientific discovery ever, don't they understand that? Worse, they DO understand that. How could they be wasting this valuable time with such stupidity? Now, instead of working as they used to, they spend half their time eyeing each other. And something tells me the work they ARE doing is going to be sub par. How could they do this to me now?
14/7 (The multiple of all three digits divides by both numbers)
Joanna's last progress report was useless. The only reason I'm not throwing her out is because I know she's got a brain in there somewhere, if forgotten. My best attempts at focusing my rogue assistants have yielded nothing... I tried separating their hours, but that was inefficient because they have too much data to send back and forth. I tried placing some large equipment between their desks, but then they just found excuse after excuse to sit at the other's desk. So it seems that, as usual, I'm going to have to do this on my own. But that means more work and a slower pace, so I'd like to avoid it if possible...
17/7 (17 is the 7th prime)
I've given up trying to motivate those fools. If they think their romance is more important than our work, then so be it. Not that it matters, this whole project is mine. I don't need their help.
22/7 (Read that one as math and it gives you a nice approximation of pi)
The project has picked up speed once again, what with me doing almost all the work, and that seems to have caught the attention of the lovers. I've succeeded in narrowing the space between the nuclei to 79 femtometers in the latest experiment. It's only a matter of time...
24/7 (Sum and difference both prime)
Joanna approched me today, and told me she thinks we should wait with this project. She spewed some ridiculous nonsense (is there such a thing as non-ridiculous nonsense?) about possible chain reactions, and said the experiment wasn't safe. I don't understand what's gotten into her. Obviously we need to finish this. Is she scared of failure? Of success? Or does she want to steal this project and complete it before me?
25/7 (The digits of the former are the two primes that add to make the latter)
Joanna has Galen backing her up now. They pestered me all day long, trying to convince me to put the project on hold. But it won't do them any good, I can see the truth in their eyes. They would steal my life's work, take away the glory that is rightfully mine. They are leeches. Why did I even hire them? I could have done this on my own, I don't need them.
26/7 (26 is the 7th distinct biprime)
I've kicked out my assistants, and am once again working alone. All is as it should be. The latest experiment brought the space down to 44 femtometers, and soon that number will be a round round zero. No distractions anymore.
30/7 (The unity of the prime factors are the first four primes)
I would have thought my assistants would have given up after I fired them, but it seems they are more persistant than I gave them credit for. I got a call today from Sergei Poltov, who was apparently contacted by them. He told me that I ought to reconsider the project, that it's dangerous, even apocalyptic. He said if I succeed, I will create a chain reaction that will flow through the whole planet, exploding anything and everything. I don't know what those idiots said to an expert like Sergei to make him argue for them, but I figure they must have offered him money. They know that if they beat me to the punch, they will be richer than they ever dreamed. But their ruse will not work, for I am no fool. I'm mostly just sad for Sergei, whom I once considered a friend. Amazing how easily people will turn on you. Down to 23 femtometers.
2/8 (No time to think of a significance!)
My last experiment got the distance down to 5 femtometers. This is it. Just one more modulation, and I should have it. I'll show them! I'll show the world free energy, and I'll show my former colleagues that they are fools. I'll shut up all their talk of doom and destruction. All day today my phone rang, but I didn't pick it up. Someone even came to my lab, and banged on the door when I wouldn't let him (or her) in. I laughed at them. Their sad intellects just can't compete with me. My dream is about to come true! I'm sleeping in the lab tonight, and by tomorrow, victory will be mine.
Scientific crap:
There's no way zero-point energy can be used for cold fusion. o_0 That just makes no sense. In fact, zero-point energy can't really be used to do anything. But it does sound cool.
The rest of the stuff is vague enough that it could kinda sorta make sense. =) A bit. Also helpful is the fact that I don't know much subatomic physics.

Hmm, there's something to that. Only Rolaoi's story doesn't fit. And I think the scientist in my story created a bit more destruction than your story and Thebes' describe. XD

Depends. Rolaoi's story fits perfectly. Consider: Who's to say that zero point energy and cold fusion and whatnot will react as predicted? If we're going with a fantasy story, all we have to do is create something worthy of reading. Not something that could ever realistically happen.
Your scientist fellow created something alright... At "zero point" cold fusion, he unraveled the normally stable worlds of Space and Time. What once were fantastic illusions or mass dementia were now reality. Spirits roamed freely, entire cities of people were swallowed up, plagues swept the world, famine and death crept across the entire planet like a blanket.
In a desperate attempt to create some sort of "cure", we enter to Thebes story. This, of course, creates it's own set of problems. From the search for the cure to humanity's willful destruction of the world, only more destruction was born. This time, it was mostly on humanity.
In another remote part of the world, Rolaoi's story unfolds. A search for clues or an answer, that maybe the ancient civilizations would have foretold this or would somehow have encountered it before?
And then, nearly a millenia after the event, the last remnants of humanity are searching for the pieces of a world they never knew. Grasping at something they'll never understand, they fill in the blanks with fantastic stories that make humanity look like deities all their own.
...Yeah, okay, I'm going to go to sleep now before I make up any more goofy stuff. ¬_¬

Hmm, I suppose you could make that work, 'shi. It'd make for a very unusual story, but it would work.
Hey, you know what we need to do in a WG (or something else)? Create a world, and have each person tell a story in that world in some time or other. Then you put them together and have a cool long story! =D

Post subject: Greetings from the Black Country
Sounds like a postcard, doesn't it?
I joined this board yesterday, and have already received a dub and an invitation to introduce myself. So, here goes:
Hello! I'm Outasync, dubbed "Caste" by Asa.
What? What? I've introduced myself, haven't I? You want more? Oh, alright.
thinks furiously, trying to come up with something interesting to say
I've been reading "Earthsong" for over a year now. As well as enjoying the Lady's artwork I also appreciate her skills as a story-teller. As a writer (
or aspiring writer - see poll
) I am learning alot about the art of story-telling from "Earthsong" and other webcomics. Thanks!
My forum-attentance will be erratic, like my health. And my sanity, come to that; although sanity does not appear to be a requirement for joining this community. Quite the reverse, in fact.
Well, that's me. I leave the rest of my personality to be inferred from my posts. One thing this post tells you, for example, is that once I get started talking it is almost impossible to get me to stop!

Some members of the forum are sane, but we seem to act as corner pilings rather than anything usual. Hmmm... that made no sense at all. Basically, though there are some sane members of the forum, we're the exception, and feel free to be as crazy as you want! ^_^
Also, to clarify my response to your poll: A
is someone who writes. An
is someone who's published. In today's world, this could include self-publishing, and online publishing to a site like
And I believe that if you're serious about the craft of writing, find yourself a guidebook. Don't just look at what other people do, but really get yourself a 'teacher' and learn the ins and outs of it. I suggest
Revising Fiction: A Handbook for Writers
By David Madden, because while you say you want to be a writer, you already know how to put words on the page. What you really want are tips and guides for how to make your writing
, and this book excels at that. I can't remember when I got it myself, but it's invaluable.
Also, feel free to frequent the Writing Section! You know what, also the RPG section, because our RPGS are run like round-robin stories. But I'll let Usa give you more information about that. ^_^

Post subject: Thanks, Asa.
Pffft ... pffft ... pffft ... argh, feathers in the face!
flaps them away, literally spitting feathers. Takes deep, theatrical breath. Spits out feathers again. Takes another, rather less theatrical breath.
Firstly - thanks for the reply. Things move fast around here, don't they?
Secondly, thanks for the suggestions. I already have a blog, and belong to an online writing community (writing.com) so I get some feedback on my writing. As you say, I already know how to put words on a screen! I've looked up the book you recommended and have saved it to my wish list. On a bit of a budget at the moment (saving up for a new powered wheelchair - boy are they expensive!) but will get the book when I can. It looks like just what I need.
I've lurked a bit around the Writing section of this forum, and would like to join in an RPG. Trouble is, I've never played any RPGs before either online or in RL. I think I'll lurk a bit longer until I get the feel for how they work. Either that or pester Usa to explain it all to me...
Thirdly, thanks for the welcome. Not so sure about the feather, though.

Yes, yes. Welcome.
As Asa says (wow, lotsa a's and s's), sanity is the exception rather than the rule. We're very civil, though.
And yes, things work very quickly here. Disappear for a few days in the middle of a school week, and the Today thread and the Word Asosiation Game will grow three to five pages.

Firstly, I want to thank you Asa for explaining so clearly the reason I'd been searching for as to why it didn't feel quite right to say a "writer" is someone who's been published. I was having a real time of it trying to put that whole thing about authors and writers together in my head >_<
Secondly, welcome to the forum! Tenshi went and proved me wrong about his internet access issues the last time I tried to cover for him with his Welcome to the Forum Guide Post, so this time I'll just say that if you've got any questions or such about the RPGs, and don't want to wait for him to come around, you can always pester me as well. ^_^ It's one of my missions in life to spread the Good Word about RPGs, and I'd be more than delighted to help you get started.
I do commissions!
Interested? Let me know! :D

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report in English by Croatian state news agency HINA
Strasbourg, 17 November: The European Parliament's Foreign Affairs
Committee on Thursday [17 November] voted in two documents important for
Croatia - a draft resolution on the Treaty of Accession with Croatia and
a draft resolution on Croatia's application for membership of the
European Union.
The Foreign Affairs Committee supported the draft resolution approving
the signing of the Accession Treaty with Croatia with 63 votes in
favour, one against and one abstention.
The other document, a non-binding resolution whereby members of the
European Parliament welcome the completion of Croatia's membership talks
underlining that the job is still not over and that Croatia should
continue with reforms, was adopted with 59 votes in favour, two against
and three abstentions.
The European Parliament is agreed with Croatia's accession to the
European Union and the Council's decision to accept Croatia's membership
application, reads the draft resolution which has legal force.
Members of the European Parliament will vote on both documents at a
plenary session on 30 November or 1 December, which will be the final
green light for the European Parliament to sign the Treaty of Accession
with Croatia. After the European Parliament gives its consent, the
Accession Treaty needs to be greenlighted by the Council of the European
Union as well, which is to happen on 5 December when EU foreign
ministers are to hold a meeting.
The Treaty of Accession will be signed on 9 December, just before a
summit of leaders of the EU's 27 member-countries, and Croatia will
participate in it for the first time as an observer.
The European Parliament's rapporteur on Croatia, Austrian Socialist
Hannes Swoboda, who has held that post since the beginning of Croatia's
negotiating process, expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the vote
of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
This is a very good result which reflects the attitude of the entire
European Parliament, even though there may be a few more votes against
at the plenary session, but generally it is clear that this European
Parliament supports Croatia and its accession, Swoboda said.
He welcomed Croatian observers to the European Parliament, saying that
they would arrive after the December 4 election and the constitution of
the next Croatian parliament because the next parliament would have to
nominate them.
We want them to feel welcome and I believe that they will be highly
qualified people. Observer status is not passive, it includes active
participation in debates, and that experience will be important once
they become full members of the European Parliament, said Swoboda.
Croatia will have 12 deputies in the European Parliament. From the
signing of the Accession Treaty to the day of EU entry, Croatia has the
right to the same number of observers in the European Parliament who
will participate in its work, but will not be allowed to vote.
Swoboda said the continuation of reforms was the most important message
of the documents adopted by the Foreign Affairs Committee.
The most important message is to continue with reforms and to step them
up if possible, in particular those concerning the judiciary, the fight
against corruption, and the integration of refugees. The completion of
the talks and the start of the ratification of the Accession Treaty must
not and should not stop the reforms, said Swoboda.
German Christian Democrat Bernd Posselt expressed satisfaction with the
adoption of an amendment calling on the member-countries to ratify
Croatia's Accession Treaty as soon as possible.
This is now a very clear green light for Croatia's membership as of 1
July 2013, this has now been decided by the Committee and I believe the
same thing will happen at the plenary session. This is a big day for
Europe and a big day for Croatia, said Posselt, expressing his
satisfaction with the forthcoming arrival of Croatian observers in the
European Parliament.
Another German Christian Democrat, Doris Pack, expressed confidence that
Croatian citizens would support their country's EU entry in a
referendum. It won't be 90 per cent support, but I expect a good result,
she said.
There were no amendments to the resolution giving consent for the
Accession Treaty and it was adopted in the form as proposed by Swoboda.
There were 113 amendments to the other, non-binding resolution, of which
most were summarised in nine compromise amendments.
In the draft resolution on Croatia's EU membership application, the
European Parliament welcomed the conclusion of the accession
negotiations with Croatia, saying that they "have significantly altered
the country's socio-political, economic and cultural landscape," and
stressed the need to keep up the reform momentum because "this process
is not complete but should continue with the same vigour and hard work
after the conclusion of negotiations and beyond accession."
Members of the European Parliament express confidence that the positive
results of the reform process will strengthen the support and confidence
of Croatian citizens in EU membership, and call on Croatian citizens to
support the Treaty of Accession in the referendum and on the
member-countries to complete the process of ratification in time.
They also express satisfaction with the arrival of parliamentary
observers from Croatia to participate in the work of the European
Parliament after the signing of the Accession Treaty.
MEPs underline that they will follow the process of monitoring of
Croatia and call on the European Commission to keep them regularly
informed of how Croatia is fulfilling its obligations. The draft
resolution also calls on Croatia to deal with the remaining challenges
in the area of the judiciary.
The draft resolution urges Croatia to continue combating corruption,
"particularly high-level corruption," in the judiciary, law-enforcement
agencies, public administration and state enterprises.
It also calls for increasing transparency and integrity in public
administration and police, pointing to the importance of enforcing the
public procurement law, transparency in the public sector, citizens'
access to information on public spending, and greater transparency in
the financing of political parties.
Croatia is invited to step up efforts to prosecute war crimes, implement
a new strategy on impunity, and deal with cases in which victims are
ethnic Serbs and perpetrators members of Croatian security forces.
Croatia is encouraged to continue its full cooperation with the UN war
crimes tribunal in The Hague (ICTY) and to continue cooperating with
Serbia in judicial matters, notably in the handling of war crimes.
MEPs urge Croatia to encourage in the best possible way the return of
refugees and displaced persons and to improve working and living
conditions for Serb returnees.
MEPs encourage the Croatian authorities to continue their efforts to
promote tolerance and combat all forms of discrimination, hate speech
and intolerance against ethnic and sexual minorities.
The European Parliament calls on the Croatian government to continue
with structural reforms in the economy, stimulate employment by reviving
the labour market and pursue fiscal consolidation in order to boost
competitiveness. The economic recovery should be accompanied by
ecological modernization, higher energy efficiency and the use of
renewable energy sources, it says.
The European Parliament encourages the government to improve the
business environment, pay special attention to small and medium
enterprises, and continue the reform of the welfare system in order to
ensure the sustainability of public finance.
It also calls on Croatian authorities to make the process of physical
planning more transparent and to fully respect public interests and
environmental standards.
The EU member states are invited to apply the transitional provisions on
the employment of Croatian workers only based on factual information and
in situations of serious disruptions in national labour markets.
During the accession negotiations, it was agreed that the member states
could impose a temporary ban on the employment of Croatian nationals for
up to seven years. The same solution was agreed in the two previous EU
enlargement rounds. Croatia, too, has the right to impose reciprocal
measures and ban the employment of citizens of the countries that have
banned the employment of Croatian nationals.
Croatia is urged to settle its outstanding issues with some of its
neighbours, especially those regarding border demarcation, missing
persons, property restitution and refugees.
The European Parliament "strongly believes that open issues of a
bilateral nature must not halt the process of EU accession of candidate
and potential candidate countries in the Western Balkans" and welcomes
the declaration on this matter which the Croatian Parliament adopted on
21 October 2011, according to an oral amendment to the draft resolution.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This years exchange will be a SINGLE card exchange. This means one single card in the package must fit the requirements. You may send additional cards but the SINGLE card is all that is required. Requirements: 1. Must be an active Beckett member in good standing. 2. Your name must NOT appear in the "Looking for these members" thread. 3. You must have at least 20 perfect feedback or be approved my me. I will not count false negatives against you. I don't care how many posts you have or how long you've been a member etc. I just care that you have proven to be an honest trader. 4. Members with a must send first label may participate but I will require you ship to me first and I will ship on to ensure the item does in fact arrive. Sorry but your labeled for some reason. It's out of my hands. 5. Banned members or suspended members are ineligible. Here are some rules which MUST be followed in order to participate in this years exchange. 1. Each person who enters must choose a level at which they can send and participate. Each level will be at a different value. You will be paired with another member from the same level. If you have a card you are sending that falls between the catagories it goes to the level below. For example if you card has a sell value of $18 it is a level 1. Level 1: $13-16 eBay sell value Level 2: $22-27 eBay sell value Level 3: $45-55 eBay sell value Level 4: $95-105 eBay sell value (members choosing this level must insure the package) 2.

Canadian shippers or those shipping to Canada must ship sooner. 4. All attempts must be made to send the package in a nice presentable way for the holiday. I know we have to mail but inside the mailer could be a nice look. A gift card box makes for a nice presentable package for a single card. Clean top loaders, team bag etc. Please send the card the way you'd like to receive it. It's also a good idea to mark the return address as Santa rather than a last name. This keep the secret anonymous. 5. All gifts must be posted on the Secret Santa thread to share with others upon receipt. 6. If anyone has any complications they must contact me ASAP so that I can arrange you be pulled from the swap or arrange for your person to still get a gift.

Please check out the Waffle (and Pancakes) Reviews if you are still buying Eggos! This is one area where "natural" and some "organic" products excel in nutrition facts and taste, and the price, while more, is not prohibitive. Still, I am no "brand name snob" and when I saw the more ... mainstream Aunt Jemima Low Fat Waffles in the store, I couldn't resist buying it to review, especially since the kids approved this purchase - there have been a few mishaps in the household with the kids and some "natural" waffles that weren't very tasty and so now they threaten to organize a hunger strike if they see a brand name they don't recognize!
I found the Aunt Jemima Low Fat Waffles were a little bland on their own, but there were no "off" tastes, and it just allowed the additions to shine through - after all, who eats waffles plain?! For some reason, I expected this to have a lot of sugars, so I was pleasantly surprised to see only 2 grams of sugars per serving of 2 pancakes. This means when the kids attempt to kill it with syrup - at least the pancaked won't add to the sugar grams.
Each serving of 2 Aunt Jemima Low Fat Waffles provides 160 calories from 2.5 grams of fat (4% of the daily value), 0.5 grams of which is saturated, 420 mg sodium (18% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber (4% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 4 grams of protein.
I was curious about this "low fat" label on these Aunt Jemima Waffles. Eggos has about 8 grams of total fat, but other Auntie J pancakes only have about 4.5-5 grams of fat which is 7-8% of the daily value, about the same amount of calories and less sodium, but more sugar. Kashi GoLean Waffles (Original) has 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and only 3 grams of fat per serving; Nature's Path Organic Optimum Power Waffles has a little more fat at 4 grams, but 5 grams of fiber and protein - both have more fiber and protein than Aunt Jemima Low Fat Waffles, but a little more sugar at 4 grams.
A box with 10 cost $1.99, which is a reasonable price, and I would buy these waffles again, but surprisingly, not because of the low fat, but because of the lower sugar content, and the lower price. Still, if I wanted to up the amount of protein and fiber in my diet, I would look at the other 2 waffles mentioned. What do you like to put on your waffles? I always add syrup (Cary's Sugar Free Maple Syrup) and bananas.

That's some of the only trash I think. I tend to do a lot of trash tanking as deep holy because of holy much I heal so I'm always having to be careful to stay above 490 def. I don't have anticipation and I use a 51 sta trinket so sometimes forgetting to switch from my block value heavy cloak to my avoidance cloak means i eat a few unexpected crits.
For generic trash, max spell damage and block value. Jade Skull -> Righteous is a good example. Same for Iron Maiden -> Justicar.

I frequently swap out heavy duty tank pieces for spell damage and mana increases on trash. Trash is generally where your dps is less careful about pulling aggro so the additional threat helps. That, and my uber prot dps is even more uber with the additional spell damage.

Welcome to Koshkonong Mounds Country Club – Fort Atkinson's only 18 hole golf course nestled in the rolling hills alongside beautiful eastern shores of historic Lake Koshkonong. Lake Koshkonong named by the areas native Winnebago tribes means "These waters we live on" is now home to a historical landmark which is Koshkonong Mounds Country Club.
Koshkonong Mounds Country Club was originally built as a resort in 1870, to host the affluent sportsmen who could afford to hunt and fish these legendary waters, which was once known to be one of the premier duck hunting destinations in the entire United States. In 1922, the initial golf course construction took place, utilizing many of the native effigy mounds as navigational hazards. After two short years, the new course opened for play in the summer of 1924.
Today Koshkonong Mounds C.C. has continued to uphold the traditions and visions of its historic past. With an additional nine holes opening in the summer of 1981, Koshkonong Mounds C.C. became what it is today - A true, honest test of golf for golfers of all abilities. As the faculty continues to grow, we look to our past for inspiration and to our future for aspiration! We will always honor these hallowed grounds in which we walk! Enjoy the game!

The Healing Journey
04.25.13 |
Focus Counseling, a ministry of Family Life, has connected with His Healing Light, out of Colorado Springs, to offer The Healing Journey Class. The class is a in-depth study curriculum for healing the mind, heart and emotions with bible-based truth.
After hosting classes across the listening area, Family Life found the responses to be overwhelming. Men and women were experiencing healing and discovering new life in Jesus. Those students most affected by the program expressed interest in starting classes themselves, so Family Life has made training possible.
The Healing Journey Boot Camp is a 4-day intensive training program that prepares incoming leaders, both men and women, to become facilitators of The Healing Journey Class. The training equips main facilitators and small group leaders. This year's Boot Camp is being held May 17-20 at Family Life in Bath. Click for the registration form and additional info.
Please contact our FOCUS counselors with any questions. Gary Short at ; Barb Short at

no baby, i'm an animal
No baby, I'm an animal. I chose to dive down the rabbit hole. I'm like Alice, I find this life rather curious. I could of lived a normal life, but my childhood was filled with too many fairlytales, and I decided to live out the things I found in books. There's no room to grow up in your world, I'm still playing, still making magic. When you imagine, you create. I created my blonde world out of stockings and shoes, out of milk and glitter. People come in and out of my world, but here I remain. They add meaning to my walls and details to my story. There is no limit to how wonderful I want those in my world to feel. I want them to taste all the magic I have, to drink from the cup of creative love I was offered. You see, some people want to punish you for seeing the world a certain way, but I intend to take those people and build a treehouse with them.
Everything is illuminated.
So stoked to show off this little collab I did with Nina Palomba. Literally some of the coolest art I've ever seen. Her whole site is unbelievable and I recommend following her on instagram. So stoked to be moving into her neighborhood, expect much more goodness.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread that Sony has it, but this is definitely rare on DVD and BD remotes. For streaming media, Roku has Instant Replay as well. I think (hope, really) this is something more devices will support, as folks are used to this ability from DVRs.When Drew started this thread, I was a bit confused about that too. Seems like he's looking for a button much like the 8 second back button on the D* remotes. Haven't seen any BD players that do that. My "smart" Panny plasma has an interesting NetFlix application on it that does allow for incremental "backs", instead of just putting the film in reverse and running at whatever speed you set it at, it jumps backward one time, mimicking the back button on the D* remotes. Nice, but the PQ isn't the equal of any of my Sammy BD players.
I have the Sony BDPS550 BD player and it includes the traditional Chapter Prev and Chapter Next buttons, but also includes REPLAY and ADVANCE buttons, which jumps back about 10 seconds and forward about 30 seconds during playback, working just like counterparts on DVRs. I never use ADVANCE, but I use REPLAY often.
The keys are in the center of the remote just above the PLAY button.

Solid Decorative Pillow:
Material: Silk dupioni and 95% feather and 5% down insert
Brand: Aviva Stanoff
Origin: United States
The orderly elegance of Aviva Stanoff's textiles, stationery, and housewares is attributable to Stanoff's memories of childhood summers spent at her grandfather's Buddhist temple in Japan, as well as her experiences taking Japanese flower arranging and calligraphy classes. The Brooklyn-based designer uses sumptuous materials such as silk dupioni, velvet and satin as bases for her hand-made bed pillows, which feature real flower buds and blooms etched and embossed onto the fabric. Stanoff's collection includes glass vases (the Collette, a transparent vessel embossed with gold or pewter, is a favorite), engraved wall hangings, hand-beaded clutch purses and — in a unique turn — a line of cashmere clothing for babies. What can't she design?

10 Reasons We Love J Brand Right Now
I used to hate J Brand—but not for reasons you might think. You see, the trendy boutique I worked at during this misguided time in my life (yup, the same place that got me hooked on Hanky Panky thongs) didn't carry the label, and a lot of my customers would ask for it. After patiently explaining that no, we didn't technically have that specific brand, buuuut we did just get these in a trouser fit that works well for the office and this slimming dark wash that looks great on everyone!, they'd refuse my alternative options, leaving me to sullenly tidy the denim wall, dismantled for naught. Frustrated at another commission lost, I'd puff my cheeks and curse the company under my breath.
This grudge was poised to follow me to my death bed, had I not been shopping with my boyfriend (now my husband) at Barneys CO-OP one day and shouted to him, pantless in the dressing room, for "any pair of white skinny jeans." When he proudly emerged five minutes later, a tail-wagging smile on his face as he slipped some J Brands through the curtain, I couldn't refuse. Grimacing, I slipped them on, looked in the mirror and gasped. Before me was thigh-slimming, non-stretchy, don't-have-to-get-them-tailored-even-though-I'm-five-foot-five ankle-length perfection. Infatuated, I bought the ones I was wearing, ordered another style that night and left my job. (Okay, I didn't quit because of my epiphany, but it did dovetail nicely with all my new purchases.)
Several years after our first lustful meeting, J Brand and I have settled into a committed relationship that's constantly evolving—as all good ones do. I've since invested in options that require a little more upkeep than cropped, low-rise styles (unlike the peg-leg version, shorter gals do need to hem the Love Story flare, even for heels) and it keeps churning out products, campaigns and projects that make my heart go pitter-patter.
Click through the slideshow below for the top 10 ways J Brand has been keeping our love fern alive, and shop its full range on Jbrandjeans.com.

As part of its Cleveland Works exhibit on 19th and early 20th century industrialization, the Museum Center at Five Points will be screening "Linotype: The Movie" on Sept. 5, at 6 p.m. Admission is free for members, and regular for nonmembers.
A feature-length documentary, "Linotype" focuses on the Linotype typecasting machine, which was used by local industries to create advertising posters for reaching larger audiences more quickly. Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Thomas Edison, the Linotype revolutionized printing — and society — in the late-1800s through mid-1900s.
The movie tells the personal, engaging stories of Linotype operators, and discusses the current relevance of Linotypes in a new age of instant communication.
"At the turn of the last century, Linotypes were as revolutionary to advertising and communication as the Internet has been for our generation," said Museum Center Executive Director Hassan Najjar.
"This film tells the fascinating story of the Linotype's impact on industry and culture. Before viewing the film, visitors are invited to see an actual Linotype on display in the Cleveland Works exhibit," said Curator of Collections Lisa Chastain. "This artifact was used by Cleveland's White Wing Publishing. Visitors may be surprised by just how large and heavy the machine is!"
The exhibit and film screening are sponsored by Bank of Cleveland. The Museum Center at Five Points tells the story of the Ocoee region through compelling exhibitions and dynamic educational programming that promotes history, culture and preservation.
The Museum Store features arts, crafts, and books from select artists, craftsmen, and authors from within a 200-mile radius. Hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum is closed Sunday, Monday, and on select holidays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students, and free for children under 5.
Members of the Museum Center receive free admission. Group rates are available and the Museum's facilities can be rented year-round for weddings and special events. For further information call 423-339-5745, or visit www.museumcenter.org.

Three Great New Coffees
- Tanzania Bergfrieden Estate AA is a clean, balanced, sweet cup
- Tanzania Kahawa Peaberry Microlot has floral and fruit juice notes
- Colombia Familia - Guerra La Isla with pear/apple juice acidity and structured sweetness
About a month ago, we did a short demo at a lecture series here in Oakland called Nerd Nite. We were excited to be invited back to teach one of their "Field Trips", a longer, more hands-on demo at Tech Liminal (one of our favorite places to teach coffee roasting). In a matter of 2 hours, a class of 20 tasted different brewed coffee, roasted coffee in popcorn poppers, learned about a few other roasting methods and learned some basic brewing methods.
Brazil Fazenda Santa Ines - Samantha Junqueira is very thick bodied with fruited, complex chocolate notes.
Burundi Kirimiro Kibungere Lot 1 is also thick bodied with apple, raisin and sugar cane notes. It's great as an SO espresso.
Burundi Mwaro Rusamana is complex with tea notes and fruit flavors.
Colombia Familia Guerra - La Gallineta has apple juice, pear, golden plum with a nectar-like body.
Rwanda Gakende Ruli has a medium body with...
We have sold out of "skunk logo" soccer balls and decided it was time for a new design, complete with arabica shrub branch graphics. They should be up for sale on our site very soon.
I made this recording in January this year, and thought I would share it as a new podcast because it addresses the effect of Roya (Coffee Leaf Rust) and the current crop. It's not a new problem, but is proportionally more important because it is so widespread now in Central America. It affects the smaller farmer more, as they have less resources to fight it, and less agronomical knowledge. It also has a huge affect on organic coffee techniques, since they don't allow the use of the fungicides that are needed to reduce the presence of the fungal spores. I realized after editing this that I left some parts in Spanish, and largely my rather iffy Spanish to boot. But I think many will understand those parts of the conversation anyway. Thanks for listening!

11:30 a.m.- Insurance advice for fire evacuees and victims
By Holly Thorpe
World staff writer
WENATCHEE — As wildfires continue to threaten homes, evaluating home insurance is essential.
For those who are at risk of losing their homes, residents should begin making a list of possessions now, said Karl Newman president of the NW Insurance Council, a non-profit insurance group in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
That way, if disaster does strike, families will be prepared to quickly begin filing a claim.
Those who have already lost homes or other things to the fire should file their claim immediately, even without a complete list. The council advises taking photos, if it's safe to do so, and to contact your insurance company with as detailed a description of the damage as possible.
"If you're home's gone, go get help," Newman said. "And keep the records."
Coverage which includes additional living expenses becomes effective immediately, meaning insurance can begin covering the cost of living (a motel room, buying meals) right off the bat.
In addition, residents should avoid discarding damaged items or repairing damage before contacting your insurance provider — they could get stuck with the bill.
For more information on filing a claim, visit nwinsurance.org.
11:10 a.m- The Salvation Army in Wenatchee is hosting a Water Bottle Drive to support fire relief efforts in NCW. For more information on how to help call 509-662-5103.
