Pac-10 Tournament seeds
The Pac-10 Tournament begins next Friday in San Jose, Calif. Here's a look at how the tournament would be seeded if it began today, and how things could change the final week.
1. Stanford: The Cardinal are tied with Cal atop the standings at 14-2 but swept the season series and thus have the inside track to the conference title and No. 1 tournament seed. Only by losing one more game than Cal does at the Washington schools this week would the Cardinal's run be ruined. They've won 13 straight since inexplicably being swept in Los Angeles.
2. California: The Bears are also 14-2 but need something of a miracle to break the tie with Stanford. They need to sweep Washington State and Washington this week while having Stanford lose once, or Cal can afford a loss if Stanford is swept. Neither is likely. Both Cal and Stanford are two games ahead of third-place Arizona State with two to play, and since both swept the Sun Devils this season, neither can fall into third. Stanford and Cal will be the top two seeds, one way or the other.
3. Arizona State: The Sun Devils are 12-4, with all four losses to Stanford and Cal. So they can't move ahead of either team in the final week. ASU plays in Los Angeles this week, and the game to watch could be Saturday's at USC. The Trojans are two games behind the Sun Devils with two to play, and USC has the tiebreaker if it wins Saturday. That would give the Trojans a split of the season sweep, and USC would win the No. 3 seed based on its win over Stanford. But Arizona State can clinch the third seed simply by beating UCLA Thursday, or having USC lose that night to Arizona.
4. USC: Moving up will be tough but not impossible, as outlined above. But moving down also isn't likely. The Trojans are 10-6 and one game ahead of UCLA, having swept the season series with the Bruins. USC's losses are to Cal (twice), Stanford, Arizona State, Washington and Oregon State. USC can fall no lower than fifth, and would do so only by losing to both Arizona and ASU and having UCLA sweep them.
5. UCLA: A USC-UCLA matchup in the 4-5 game next Saturday is all but assured. The Bruins are 9-7, with losses to California (twice), USC (twice), Stanford, Arizona State and Oregon. The Bruins could potentially move up to fourth, as outlined above, but it's unlikely. And they can't move down—UCLA is two games ahead of Washington with two to play and swept the Huskies this season, giving the Bruins the tiebreaker there.
6. Washington: The Huskies can't move up but could slip to seventh if some craziness went down. Currently, UW is 7-9, with losses to Arizona State (twice), UCLA (twice), Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, California and USC. Oregon could jump into a tie with Washington by winning the Civil War on Saturday and having the Huskies swept by Cal and Stanford. That's a pretty likely scenario. Since the Ducks and Huskies split this season, the tiebreaker would become which one has the best win over another Pac-10 opponent. Right now, that's Washington's win over USC. But Oregon's win over UCLA on Saturday kept the Ducks alive for sixth, since UW was swept by the Bruins. If UCLA can sweep this week while USC loses two, the Bruins would leapfrog the Trojans and Oregon would have the tiebreaker with UW if both finished with seven wins.
7. Oregon: As outlined above, the Ducks can move into sixth and earn a first-round bye next week, but it's unlikely. The big night for Oregon's scoreboard watching is Thursday. The Ducks need USC to be upset by Arizona and have UCLA shock Arizona State. If either doesn't happen, the Ducks are assured of being the No. 7 seed. At 6-11, the Ducks are two games ahead of Oregon State with only one to play, so they can't fall into eighth. (Oregon's losses are to Stanford twice, Cal twice, Arizona State twice, USC twice, UCLA, Washington and Arizona.)
8. Oregon State: The Beavers are 4-13, with losses to Stanford (twice), Cal (twice), Arizona State (twice), UCLA (twice), Oregon, USC, Washington, Washington State and Arizona. Yep, everybody in the league. Oregon State can't move up but could slip as low as 10th with a loss to Oregon on Saturday. If Arizona sweeps UCLA and USC, the Wildcats would pass OSU even if the Beavers beat Oregon, with Arizona's win over UCLA serving as a tiebreaker with OSU since the Beavers were swept by the Bruins. (Each would have been swept by Stanford, Cal and ASU and split with USC). There's also a scenario in which Arizona only needs to beat USC to have the tiebreaker with OSU. That would require UCLA passing USC in the standings, and Oregon winning a tiebreaker with Washington, making Arizona's win over Oregon more impressive than Oregon State's win over Washington.
If Washington State beats both Stanford and Cal this week, OSU could fall all the way to 10th by losing to Oregon. The Beavers, WSU and Arizona all split with each other this season, so WSU's hypothetical win over Stanford would give the Cougars a three-way tiebreaker if all finished with four wins, or the head-to-head tiebreaker with Oregon State if Arizona got to five wins. But that's not happening.
9. Arizona: The Wildcats, 3-13 with losses to Stanford (twice), Cal (twice), Arizona State (twice), Washington (twice), USC, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State and Washington State, could move up to no higher than eighth based on the situations outlined above. Slipping into 10th would take Washington State getting at least one win over Cal or Stanford, which is highly improbable.
10. Washington State: The Cougars could jump all the way to eighth by sweeping Cal and Stanford to force a three-way tie with OSU and Arizona at four wins. Currently, WSU has beaten only those latter two teams. Barring a miracle, Washington State will finish 10th.
March 7, 6 p.m.: No. 7 Oregon vs. No. 10 Washington State
March 7, 8:15 p.m.: No. 8 Oregon State vs. No. 9 Arizona
March 8, 11 a.m.: No. 3 Arizona State vs. No. 6 Washington
March 8, 1:15 p.m.: No. 2 California vs. UO/WSU winner
March 8, 5 p.m.: No. 1 Stanford vs. OSU/Arizona winner
March 8, 7:15 p.m.: No. 4 USC vs. No. 5 UCLA

Hello and welcome back to the thankful world of the Dogpound. Hard to believe it is almost time for the major holidays to start; Ok…let me back up...they actually started [per the stores] back in October...pre-Halloween….but you know what I mean. Thanksgiving is coming earlier than ever this year as stores try to one-upish on who can start Black Friday the earliest. What started out with 6 a.m...5 a.m…starts…has been pushed back by many stores to midnight openings [do people really line up at the bewitching hour for sales?], but one store now leads the pack. Target has their shopping carts at the starting line revving up for a 9 p.m. "Thursday" Thanksgiving Black Friday.
I mean we have not even had time for our turkey dinner to settle and folks are expected to load the family into the car and head to the stores to do some heavy credit card shopping. Seems ridiculous to us in the Dogpound but again stores will only do what is supported by the almighty customer. If no one showed up at 9 p.m…I would think the stores would very quickly get the message that there are lines that we will not cross. Let the holiday be a family holiday...not only for the customers but for the poor store workers who have to leave their families to indulge our inescapable thirst for that "special" sales item. Forget about bragging rights that we got the only IPad in the store that was on sale for 50 percent off and had the scars to prove it. Enough of the crazy stuff! We should use this holiday for what it was set aside to be…a day when we give thanks for all of the blessings we have received ; thanks for the bounty on our table and in our cupboards… thanks for our family and friends…and thanks for the freedom we enjoy that so many envy. Take the extra time to reflect, enjoy, relax, and share our good fortune with others who are less fortunate. I know we in the Dogpound will be doing exactly that.
"If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down."
–Tony Snow
• What happened when the turkey got into a fight? He got the stuffing knocked out of him.
• Can a turkey jump higher than the Empire State Building? Yes - a building can't jump at all.
• What always comes at the end of Thanksgiving? The letter G!
• Overheard; In my day we only had one screen to gather around.
I was driving down the interstate in a rural area when a turkey passed me doing 65 mph. I sped up and passed the turkey. A few minutes later, the same bird passed me again; this time he was doing 75 mph. Startled, I floored the accelerator, got my car up to 85, and blew by the bird, for good I thought. But sure enough, five minutes later he went by me again. This time he passed me at 95 mph and made a right turn off the freeway onto a farm next to the interstate. I immediately exited and drove up to the farmhouse and knocked on the door. When the farmer opened the door, I told the farmer of my experience with his speedy poultry and he told me, "Oh that must be one of my three-legged turkeys!"I asked, "How did you end up with three-legged turkeys?" He responded, "I have nine children. They all love drumsticks, so I bred three-legged turkeys to keep my kids satisfied." It sounded logical to me, so I curiously asked, "How do they taste?"The farmer answered, "Don't know. Never been able to catch one to find out."
That is a wrap. As always be good, play safe and remember to give thanks for all of your blessings.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gabby!
Facts about Gabby
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Gabby's Info...
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
Birthday: 2004
Hello, my name is Gabby. I am a sweet kitty. I love playing with all my toys. I like small doses of love. Once in a while i nip and I just need a little gentle correction from time to time to teach me proper behavior. I have great potential as a friend to an understanding adult, so please come see me soon!
Adoption Fee: $75. I come up to date on shots, microchipped, FIV/FELV tested and spayed
We're closed on Mondays but are open weekdays 2-6 and weekends 12-6.
Other Pets at Five Acres Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gabby, a St. Charles Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in St. Charles, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in St. Charles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in St. Charles already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a St. Charles breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in St. Charles paves the way for another one to be saved.

If health and fitness are your key interest and you might be toying with the idea of putting up your own gym business, you'll be happy to know that government statistics showed strong business growth in this field. Compared to other occupations, the U.S. Department of Labor expects the growth of the industry to be stronger and faster than average. The U.S. Census Bureau statistics also showed that the 21,283 fitness businesses across the country had a net of more than $10.2 billion annually per 1997 data. No doubt, with every Tom, Dick and Harry and every Jane, Sarah and Maggie going gaga over health concerns, you just might be looking at the right direction to make some good, decent money.
Start off with the right foot and follow these smart moves:
1) Get a Fitness professional certification: You've got to have credibility when starting a gym. The loan people of the lending banks and clients in particular will view your level of industry experience as a reflection of your competence and respectability. This certification and some business education courses may be obtained from the American Council on Exercise and the International Health, Racquet and Sports club Association. Check out their websites. They can help set up your professional credibility.
2) Find a good location for the gym: Seek out the demographic areas. Find one that will support the services your gym will offer. Location is key in attracting and establishing clients so be on the conservative side and factor in higher rentals when figuring out your start-up costs. Make sure you don't come up with any figures that may turn your business into a bad loan even before you start. The location must be closest to your customer base so consider such things as street access, traffic, parking and accessibility.
3) Decide on the kind of services your gym will offer: These may range anywhere from rehabilitation to weight loss. Should you decide to cater to older adults, it may have to be rehabilitation services and gentler disciplines of exercise like yoga or Taichi or Pilates and low-impact aerobics. If you decide to make it an only-women gym, then it's weight-loss services, body firming and weight training classes with intense cardiac workouts thrown in for good measure.
4) Get the right fitness equipment: Having decided on your gym's services, You can now determine the right and proper equipment. When selecting them, take into consideration, the new technologies, maintenance and of course, costs. You'll probably need treadmills, weight machines, weight benches and mats. As you estimate their costs, you may want to look at leasing as an option.
5) Finally, prepare a business plan and get gym financing: Two things to get your business running are this business plan that needs to be written and a loan. People who are in this business say the cost of putting up a gym may range from $10,000 to $50,000.Take this as a guide. The lending banks or financial groups won't consider a business loan without a thorough business plan, so work on it carefully. The U.S. Small Business Administration can help. They offer free service to help in the formulation of a business plan and lend a hand in getting loans.
Good Luck!

Here is a link that might be useful: Colour Me Happy
I'm in the process of converting my attic into a home office. The walls and vaulted ceiling are currently knotty pine. I'd like to paint the whole thing white to brighten up the space. The room get some light but not much. I'm thinking about a creamy off white and wonder whether anyone has any suggestions re: brand paint/shade of white. I'm thinking of a textured rug in a natural shade to finish off the space. All suggestions and ideas welcome. Thank you, Chrissy |
See above responses. |
I posted a thread in the kitchen forum (search under "what white") a couple weeks ago. Most common response was Benjamin Moore Dove White (OC-17) but many also liked Sherwin Williams Simply White & Acadia White. When talking to people who were going to quote on doing work for me...many were very familiar with Dove White, had used it, and had found it to be a great all purpose white. A pretty "true" white, but not shockingly bright - but also not beige/yellow at all. |

The official Star Trek into Darkness app has launched on the US and Canadian App Stores, allowing fans to join the Starfleet ranks and go on real-world scavenger hunt missions to unlock content.
These missions will see users charged with finding Star Trek content in the real world, by taking pictures of outdoor billboards, for example, or using sound recognition technology to tag the film's latest trailer. There is also a Map Mission, in which users have to hunt for specific locations, using the app's Geo-location technology. By completing these missions, users will get access to exclusive content, including videos and wallpapers, as well as moving up the Starfleet ranks.
As previously reported, Paramount and developer Qualcomm are to use this Sunday's Super Bowl to launch the app, giving users an opportunity to unlock content by tagging audio from a TV spot that will air during the game.
For the moment, there is no sign of the app on the UK App Store. We expect it soon, though, with reports claiming an Android version is also on the way.
Star Trek Into Darkness is released in cinemas on May 17.

Powerhaüs Studio's PAIR residency program calls it a day
Early in 2013, the artists of Powerhaüs Studio announced their idea for the Powerhaüs Artist-in-Residence Program, a juried three-month residency at the studio facility for one fine artist and one fashion designer. Along with that call for applicants, they named David Dadone of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Project Runway celeb Mondo Guerra as jurors. PAIR resident Charlie Boots at Powerhaüs Studio.
PAIR was conceived as a free ride, rent-wise, with built-in mentoring, and included additional opportunities, such as a Show and Tell blog spot at westword.com. It was a bold idea and one that came with great responsibility, and it even proved a small success in its first round with inaugural awardees, painter Charlie Boots and designer Francis Roces.
See also:The world according Charlie Boots: An art-scene newbie on what it takes to get noticed
"At this stage of my career -- hell, at any stage in an artist's career these days -- exposure to relevant figures in the field is vital," says Boots of his PAIR experience. "In fact, it appears to be more vital than any technical skill in any medium, though I certainly hope that my work does and will continue to display technical skill. PAIR dramatically sped up the process of acquainting myself with my community. Charlie Boots accepting the Brandon Borchert Pop Art Award earlier this year.
"These opportunities are as rare as they are beneficial, and I certainly don't take for granted that, while making the work is easy, promoting it is hard as hell," he adds. "For this reason, I will always appreciate what that program provided and will seek to stimulate similar programs for other artists as my career progresses."
But after launching a second PAIR search late this past summer, Powerhaüs announced that, in spite of such successes, it was calling it quits and would return all entry fees to the new applicants.
With this announcement comes a lesson for other artist groups considering similar enterprises. "PAIR had potential to be a wonderful program, and we loved the idea of it, but in the end, we realized that as we were all still struggling in our own businesses, it was too difficult for us to subsidize space for others," notes Powerhaüs member Lauri Lynnxe Murphy.

Funny thing, though: as much as the Nitro is a Jeep Liberty, it's also not a Jeep Liberty. The Nitro may borrow the all-wheel-drive Liberty's platform and drivetrain, but the Dodge ends up feeling drastically different. A wider footprint, a longer wheelbase, a retuned suspension, and a lower center of gravity all help improve stability compared with the Liberty, and an available 260-hp, 4.0-liter V-6 lets the Nitro achieve decidedly non-Liberty-type velocities.
The blocky Dodge isn't perfect, however. The Nitro's interior may mean well (clever packaging and a convenient layout are its strong points), but it also feels cheap enough that you find yourself wondering how long things will hold together. The 4.0-liter's five-speed manu-matic shifts nicely, but the base engine's optional four-speed automatic is rough and clumsy. And steering feel, especially with the available twenty-inch chrome wheels, grows awfully numb at speed.
So, yes, the Nitro is ultimately lacking a little refinement, and, yes, there are traces (especially in the droning V-6's lackluster throttle response) of warmed-over Liberty bits. But mostly, the Nitro's on-road personality is a fun one: purpose-oriented and happily trucklike but still entertaining when the road goes all twisty. By this point, you may be thinking what we're thinking--for all its un-Liberty-ness, the Nitro sounds like an old-school Jeep. Ironic, huh?

We found a headboard that we like at our local Drexel Heritage store and were quoted a sale price of $884. I checked with the Furniture Mart in Hickory, NC & was quoted $756, without shipping. So, NC does me no good. Would it be low-down, nasty and/or stupid of me to try to get the local store to discount some more? |

Wishfulthinking, how did it go? Sometime you can ask for a little something if the price does not work out. Set of free sheets, free delivery. If something comes up it may be to your benefit to buy local. Long as their price is not "slap in the face" higher. |
$756 vs $884 ... I think by the time you add in the shipping it will come out in the wash. But you can always ask the local store nicely, as someone else suggested. Some of the local stores will price match. |

$128 sounds like a reasonable shipping cost if it is very heavy. Would it be low-down, nasty and/or stupid of me to try to get the local store to discount some more? Not at all, just don't expect them to match the other price since the store has already paid to have the item shipped to them. Most stores would gladly take a bit more discount if it means losing your patronage if they don't. Just bear in mind everything involved in serving you from a store vs. buying something over the internet. It's probable that a headboard will arrive at your house via semi truck. They will leave a giant box at your door and away they go. Now you get to unpack it. There's cardboard, shrink wrap, styrofoam, possibly a piece of scrap wood nailed to the bottom of it. If there are any damages or scratches, good luck getting the manufacturer or shipping company to help you out. If you are the type who wouldn't mind dealing with these things, it might be worth the savings to you. The few dollars more you pay at the store covers the huge amount of time spent by stores on a daily basis trying to recoup the cost of damaged items, missing or defective pieces, disposing of the huge amounts of packing materials, all added to the cost of the property, building maintenance and repairs, utilities, taxes, paying the people who do all of that stuff, etc... These are the factors to weigh when making your decision. |
It depends on the store. All my furniture from over the internet has been delivered with white glove service. They take it in, set it up, put it where I want it. We inspected it together. The last company did not take away the packing. They just it neatly in the garage and we put it out recycle day. |

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.

Bin Laden was in on 2005 and 2006 London plots
By Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON | Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:10am EDT
(Reuters) - Osama bin Laden was aware of the plot in which al Qaeda
militants bombed London transport facilities on July 7, 2005, but it
was the last successful operation he played a role in, U.S. government
experts have concluded.
Circumstantial evidence, including information gathered from the
Abbotabad, Pakistan, hide-out where U.S. Navy SEALs killed bin Laden
on May 2, also suggests that bin Laden had advance knowledge of an
unsuccessful London-based 2006 plot to simultaneously bomb U.S.-bound
transatlantic flights, several U.S. national security officials said.
"Bin Laden was absolutely a detail guy. We have every reason to
believe that he was aware of al Qaeda's major plots during the
planning phase, including the airline plot in 2006 and the London
'7-7' attacks," one of the U.S. officials told Reuters. This official
and others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss
counter-terrorism matters.
Some of the confidence U.S. officials expressed about bin Laden's
involvement in the London attacks is based on analytical judgment
rather than ironclad proof. Two of the officials said that there was
no "smoking gun" evidence proving that he orchestrated the plots.
However, they and other U.S. officials said there is strong evidence,
including material collected from bin Laden's lair, indicating that,
as the London-based plots unfolded, bin Laden was in close contact
with other al Qaeda militants. One official said bin Laden was
"immersed in operational details" of the group's activities.
"We believe he was aware of these plots ahead of time," one of the
officials said.
Fifty-two civilians, and four suicide bombers, died in the July 7,
2005, attacks on three London underground trains and a double-decker
bus. Hundreds were injured. It was "the last successful operation
Osama bin Laden oversaw," a second official said.
The latest assessments from U.S. and other Western officials support
assertions by the Obama administration that, despite years of apparent
isolation in Abbotabad, bin Laden still managed to keep in touch with
activities -- sometimes in considerable detail -- of his followers
around the world.
By the same token, the cache of evidence found in bin Laden's lair
does not offer new indications about any specific current plots he was
involved in directed at U.S. or other Western targets.
Investigations by British authorities, with support from the United
States and other allies, established some time ago that elements of al
Qaeda's core leadership had played a role in the 2005 London transport
Investigators found evidence that Mohammad Sidique Khan, leader of the
four-man militant cell who carried out the bombings, and another cell
member had traveled to Pakistan for paramilitary training before the
Until recently, however, investigators had not linked bin Laden
personally to the July 7, 2005, attacks. Two weeks after those
bombings, a cell of militants attempted a second round of attacks on
London transport facilities but their bombs failed to go off.
A Western official said there was also reason to believe that al
Qaeda's core leadership was involved in orchestrating subsequent
failed plots against European and U.S. targets.
One of the plots that U.S. officials believe bin Laden was at least
aware of was a 2006 plot to bomb multiple U.S.-bound transatlantic
airline flights using home-made liquid explosives.
The plot was disrupted when British authorities launched a major
roundup of suspects. Flights to and from Britain were severely
disrupted and tight new restrictions were placed on passenger carry-on
items such as liquids and gels.
U.S. and European officials also believe that al Qaeda "senior
leadership" supervised a 2009 plot, led by an Afghan immigrant, to
bomb New York's subway system. That plot was disrupted when U.S.
authorities arrested the alleged mastermind, Najibullah Zazi, and a
handful of associates.
Since bin Laden was killed, evidence has emerged that he was
personally involved in plots against European targets last year, one
U.S. official said. Intelligence about these plots led to the issuing
of public travel warnings by European and U.S. government agencies
beginning late September.
Counter-terrorism officials warned at the time that militants might be
targeting cities in European countries, including Germany, France and
Britain, for strikes similar to the commando attacks in Mumbai, India,
which a group of Pakistan-based militants carried out in November

"Fantastic canned mackerel"
Ian Gillson on 4/12/2014 12:19:03 PM
Review: These canned mackerel are the business. They are meaty and moist, unlike most canned mackerel, and you can even see the blue lines on the skin! I really like the no-salt option as it keeps my sodium intake lower. I rotate these for breakfast with the no-salt, canned sardines. The calories aren't bad either, especially for mackeral...just 120 calories a can. They are also a good source of omega-3s (though not quite as high as the sardines) and protein. They fit great with my macros for bodybuilding.

Los Angeles Conservancy
Suite 826
Los Angeles, CA, 90014, United States
Though the city's not widely known for its architecture, downtown L.A. is home to an eclectic assortment of extraordinary buildings. The Los Angeles Conservancy, a local historical preservation organization, conducts fun, educational walking tours that showcase many of downtown's unique landmarks. One of the most engaging is the tour through the long-forgotten Broadway theater district, where old movie palaces—some still in use for events—exhibit Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque, and Beaux-Arts designs, all in varying states of renovation or disrepair. Other conservancy walking tours include Little Tokyo, City Hall, the Biltmore Hotel, and Union Station—all $10 for nonmembers, and led by passionate, knowledgeable volunteers.
Insider Tip:
Visiting New Yorkers will especially appreciate the Spring Street tour, which explores the former "Wall Street of the West."

John Morton returns with European Wealth Management Group
Syndicate Asset Management founder John Morton has returned to the industry with the launch of European Wealth Management Group.
As chief executive of AIM-listed Syndicate, Morton bought out IFAs and wealth managers including Ashcourt, Rowan, Savoy, EPIC and Zenith before he left in March 2009.
He has assembled an all-star cast for his latest venture including naming former Aberdeen Asset Management chairman George Robb as chairman.
Former Ashcourt chief executive Rod Gentry has been named as chief executive and the board also includes former Ashcourt chairman Geoffrey Dearing and HR director Susan Roughley.
On the investment team are former Killik & Co partner Richard Stammers, Vestra Wealth Management founding partner Richard Wayne-Wynne and former Fiducia Family Office investment manager Simon Whittley.
Gentry says: "For a private investor it has become very difficult to find an investment manager who will not be tempted to just use a cookie cutter approach to a client portfolio and lump investments in a number of funds that give fairly average performance.
"We have proved there is a better way which not only gives investors a more personal approach but a better investment performance too."
The group adds it hopes to raise assets of £1bn in three years and £3bn in five years and establish offices across the UK and Europe.

We are looking to remodel and visited a Lumber Liquidators today. The place seemed to be busy but wasn't what I had expected. It was in a little building, kinda like those places that pop up and then they are gone. The Bella flooring was less expensive that Lowes, but I wanted some feed back on actually purchasing from them. Anyone have any feedback on the place? Thanks, Magoo |
Follow-Up Postings:
We purchased our vinyl plank flooring from them without issue. I purchased it as I needed more, sometimes needing to go to a different location. Employees always seemed friendly enough. Their locations tend to be in more industrial type business parks, I think that keeps their costs down. Build direct has nice flooring at competitive prices as well, and they will send free samples. We opted not to go with them due to the freight shipping fees, plus we liked the product at LL. |
We also purchased flooring at LL - and were very happy with our purchase (laminate); no problems. |
I'm thinking about purchasing unfinished red oak flooring at LL so am interested in replies too. I know they don't carry the highest quality hardwoods and you don't get to select individual boards. Since I only need about 11 sf and minimum is 20 sf, hoping I can get 11 sf of good boards out of that. |
Take a look at the LL comments on the Flooring Forum on GW. |

We bought the Bella Wood in Brazillian Walnut for our kitchen and dining room and have been extremely happy with it. It's a very popular company, growing like weeds. Bella Wood is their house brand and they keep their over head low to keep their prices low. They also have a list of independent installers they work with all the time so you can find some one with good skills to install it. (We went the DIY route) |

First of all, I must indicate that do not support the use of guns or the violence that abrupts from them.
Secondly, I'm sure that I will be badly scrutinized and have fiery stones pelted at me after this article.
Nevertheless, these words must be written regardless of the outcome.
Without any doubt, I believe that politicians do not really give two craps about what had happened in Newtown, Connecticut last friday. Basically, they are toying with the emotions of Americans, because they know that Americans are at their all-time low concerning the violence caused by guns. Therefore, they are subtly coaxing the American people, while they are not thinking straight, to compromise their right to bear arms in this country. In other words, they are using Newtown as another stepping stone to reach their ultimate goal, which is the New World Order. This includes the following aspects of American life that they desire to change through this tragic event:
1.) Absolute disarmament of all Americans. Yes, they plan on taking away all guns in this country. Therefore, without guns, people are not able to fend themsleves. And we're not just talking about defense against coyotes, wild animals, and robbers: This includes if the government wants to haul you off to jail for no reason at all, they can just send out their pet rottweilers, the sinister law enforcement, to bust down your door and drag you off to only God knows where.
2.) Absence of freedom of speech. Next, after Americans have compromised their right to bear arms in this nation, they'll snatch away freedom of expression. Hence, many of the wonderful comments we all make everywhere we go will be closely monitored, analyzed, and severely scrutinized by the government. Furthermore, they'll use a whole array of methods for keeping tabs on our activities such as microscoping your phone calls, emails, correspondence through the mail, delivery packages, comments made on websites, and everything else that we do on a daily basis. In conjunction to this, the government will gather this intelligence about you through a variety of voluntary parties: Law enforcement agencies, employers, co-workers, neighbors, and even the media. (Sounds absurd, but trust me on these things: I'm a living example who has experienced all of these things for many years.)
3.) Lack of freedom of religion. That's right. No longer will Americans be able to worship God according to their own practices or the way they were brought up. Instead, the government will tell us exactly how to worship God, where to worship God, and whether we can worship God or not. In other words, we won't be able to read the torah, koran, bible or any other religious text out in public. Furthermore, we'll be disabled from sharing our religions with other people. Moreover, churches will be controlled by the government; therefore, they will determine if the scriptures in the religious texts need to be altered; whether practitioners can receive communion on a specific sunday or not; what clothes the church or mosque goers can wear to these services; and so on so forth.
And all these things, and much more, will take place if Americans start compromising their God-given rights over to the government! The government of this nation was made for the people; and not the opposite way around.

Mitsubishi recently allowed us to sample preproduction versions of its forthcoming small crossover, the Outlander Sport. The Sport is slated to go on sale this October with a base price of under $19,000. Mitsu hasn't yet finalized pricing, but we're told to expect fully loaded models to hit showrooms with a sticker price of less than $26,000. And that's with navigation, keyless entry, heated seats, four-wheel drive, a 710-watt sound system, HIDs, and a CVT automatic.
Judging on looks alone, that seems like a bargain to us. The Sport brings some of the Lancer sedan's good looks to the party with its now-trademark aggressive trapezoidal front grille. Around back is the big surprise-unlike the Sportback (the quasi-station-wagon version of the Lancer), the Outlander Sport doesn't go all strange-looking. In fact, it's quite good looking from all angles.
If the rear overhang looks particularly short, it's because the Outlander Sport shares its 105.1-inch wheelbase with the "regular" Outlander, which is almost 15 inches longer. Whereas the Outlander seats seven, the Sport only seats five, but the rear passengers have more than ample legroom. The seatback is a tad on the vertical side, but there's plenty of cargo room behind as a consolation prize.
The underhood dimensions aren't quite so prodigious. Whereas the regular outlander is available with a 168-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder or 230-hp 3.0-liter V-6, the Sport's sole engine is the Lancer sedan's 148-hp 2.0-liter four. Before you write off the Sport completely, though, check the scale: the base, two-wheel drive CVT model weighs in at only 3098 lb. That's almost 300 lb less than the 2WD Outlander-and impressively, only about 100 lb more than a Lancer sedan.
So while acceleration isn't exactly blistering, it's not bad, especially with the manual transmission. The five-speed stick is available only with front-wheel drive, and it's a pleasure to drive, with a light-effort shifter and communicative clutch that makes smooth shifting a pleasure. Torque steer is well controlled, and on our short drive, we were pleased with Mitsubishi's first-ever electric power steering. The four-banger takes on a purposeful note as redline approaches, but its torque curve is broad enough to make those high-rpm forays less necessary than you'd think.

Hiking the Stawamus Chief, Squamish
Surfing (JF Bergeron photo)
Squamish means "Mother of the Wind" in the local Coast Salish language, and for avid windsurfers, that's nothing but good news.
Particularly between April and September, windsurfing conditions are optimal due to the consistent southerly thermal winds at the Squamish Spit. Some consider this one of the top-10 windsurfing locations in the world.
Advanced wind-surfers, wearing wetsuits, love to catch air and do tricks at this long breakwater, situated at the mouth of the Squamish River where it flows into Howe Sound. Speeds can exceed 37mph/60 kph. Equipment can be bought or rented at a variety of stores in Vancouver.
The Squamish Spit offers a gorgeous, mountain-ringed setting for spectators. Bring the whole family out to watch, under the supervision of volunteers from the Squamish Windsports Society.

The society assists with launch areas, toilets and change rooms, a rescue boat, first aid, and much more.
The Squamish Spit was the venue for the 2005 North American Continental Windsurfing Championships and the 2008 Canadian Windsurfing and Kiteboarding Championships.
For those still developing their wind-surfing skills, a local lake like Alice Lake is a great bet.
Fans of kitesurfing (also known as kiteboarding) are also in luck in Squamish. In 2005, extreme sports fan and global entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson kite-surfed at the Squamish Spit to promote his Virgin Mobile phone service.
There are several kite-surfing schools regionally, including the Vancouver Kiteboarding School and the Jericho Sailing Centre, in Vancouver.
Jet skis and small boats can be rented in Squamish for use on Howe Sound as well. Ask about this at the Squamish Adventure Centre/Visitor Centre.

Given how the torture-porn genre has been waning, credited writers Roth, López and Guillermo Amodeo bring down the ketchup count considerably here, and Aftershock is less of an all-out bloodbath than a throwback to hokey horror and disaster flicks from the '70s and '80s. As such, it should play best as an ancillary item, with theatrical stints in markets where Roth still has some street cred.
Taking many of its ingredients from the Hostel recipe, the film kicks off with a goofy American tourist known simply as Gringo (Roth) trying to enjoy the last days of his Chilean vacation with acquaintances-cum-tour guides Pollo (Nicolas Martinez) and Ariel (Ariel Levy). As expected, the trio are much less interested in local history than in bagging Latinas, and they hop from bar to bar as Gringo—who we learn is a recently separated dad—strikes out with one chick after another (including Selena Gomez in a brief cameo).
Eventually the gang bumps shoulders with American stepsisters Monica (Andrea Osvárt) and Kylie (Lorenza Izzo), along with their Russian gal-friend Irina (Natasha Yarovenko), and they all head to the seaside town of Valparaiso for some more binge drinking. But just when Aftershock is starting to feel like one long Spanish-language spring-break video, disaster strikes in a crowded nightclub, leaving the group stuck between collapsing ceilings, severed limbs and all-out urban anarchy.
Strictly abiding by horror-film scripture, the characters get knocked off more or less in the order of transgressions committed, beginning with Ariel, who spent the first act annoyingly texting his ex and justifiably gets his hand chopped off. The rest of the bunch seeks salvation in the chaotic city, but their obnoxious attitudes ("Those are really cool favelas! I want one for my backyard," Kylie says earlier on) no longer hold sway in a place where it's every hombre for himself.
As the center of attention for much of the time, Roth has a rather awkward screen presence, but it's at least partially justified by his character, who's just a nice guy looking for some local kicks. The fate the filmmakers reserve for him is one of the few genuine surprises in a movie that tends to stick to formula, offering up minimal scares amid scattered moments of gross-out bliss.
Made for a purported budget of $10 million, the production has more of a schlocky, Corman-esque quality to it, although DP Antonio Quercia does make decent use of the multiple Chilean locations. The omnipresent score by Manuel Riveiro is standard B-movie chow.

In the early 80s, in Scott County, Minnesota, Kathleen Morris, the county attorney, opened a case in which she accused over twenty people of running a child sexual abuse ring in and around the small town of Jordan.
Morris, as well as local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, were caught up in what then seemed a frenzy of child sex abuse cases in the news, mostly occurring in day care facilities. The most infamous of the day care cases was the McMartin case, which was finally resolved when the accused were set free.
In Scott County, those accused by Kathleen Morris had their children removed from their homes and put in foster care. The children were interrogated again and again by law enforcement, social workers, and even foster parents. Their stories became more and more fantastic, but law enforcement doggedly pursued every lead. The case was resolved finally, and only one man stood accused of child sexual abuse. The rest of the people, most residents of a mobile home park in Jordan, were free to go.
But by then, most of their lives and their families were ruined, some irreparably. Any financial resources they had were gobbled up by the courts. Their children, who had been essentially brainwashed by Kathleen Morris henchmen, were returned to them. But in what mental condition, after falsely accusing their parents of unspeakable crimes?
Now we in Minnesota are feeling the effects of the Penn State case in which Jerry Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing children, ruining along the way the reputations of good people and trashing a university football program.
A Mankato State football coach innocently took his university-issued cell phone to the IT department for help. On the phone were nude pictures of his young children, pictures that he and his wife say are innocent.
But not so the university and county law enforcement! The county attorney (sound familiar) decided to press charges. Now the coach, his wife, his childrenand their futurehave been ruined. Ruined, even though there is absolutely no evidence that these photos were anything but private family shots. (Doesnt nearly everyone have a nude childhood photo to live down?) The county attorney wont even let the coachs attorney have a copy of the cell shots in question, because he claims that it is illegal to reproduce pornography.
What is it about our society that lets petty bureaucrats ruin other peoples lives, while hiding behind doing the right thing for the children? Its disgusting.

We hired someone to stain and varnish new poplar railings and built-in bookcases. He used a Sherwin-Williams product that claimed you could do it all in one day. Anyway, it has turned out horribly. The stain seems very dark - but not in solid way, the way the rest of the stained wood in our house looks - compared to the swatch (he only did one coat of stain because he was afraid of how dark it was) and the varnish is dull and very, very rough. Not at all acceptable. We have already paid him, of course. We are thinking we'll just try to fix the problem ourselves. Any suggestions to get the smooth finish we want? Do we need to do more layers of varnish? Any way to lighten the stain? |
Follow-Up Postings:
What kind of wood it it? What kind of stain? If there is a chance of lightening the stain, all of the varnish will need to be removed, as the only sure way of lightening stain of which I know is to sand or in some cases use a bleach. But the bleach thing is not a good choice usually. Sanding oil based stains will remove parts of the stain on close grained woods like maple and pine, but will not remove as much on open grained woods like oak and ash that have lots of depressions sanding does not affect. Pine often is prone to blotching and uneven staining. So are cherry and maple. A preconditioner is used to even that tendency and reduce the probability. That preconditioner is usually a weak mixture of blond(white) shellac---as that seldom darkens the wood on which it is applied. Oil base conditioners always darken the wood. Once the stain is to your liking, apply the first coat of varnish with a good manmade bristle brush(I like Purdy brand) and use brushes in the $15 to $25 range. Let that coat dry and hand sand lightly to get the surface smooth---wipe with a lint free rag dampened(not wet) with whatever solvent is used for the varnish---whatever is listed in the instructions for equipment cleanup. Then apply coat #2. Repeat with a 3d coat if needed. |
I've done very little work with poplar, but I would be reluctant to stain it- it doesn't have a real clear grain pattern, so will be kind of "flat" when stained. It is known for taking paint very well. Also, the poplar I've worked with tends to be "fuzzy" when sanded. Based on the "one day" application I assume it was a water based "varnish"- which will raise the grain even more. I don't think you are going to be able to lighten the stain- lightly sand with a fine (220 or 300'ish grit ) sandpaper, one more coat of finish, you may or may not need to sand again, then one final coat. You should end up with a smooth finish, however it will still be dark. Hope that helps. |
It sounds like he did not sand the wood properly. The courser the grit, the darker and rougher it finish. I am guessing your wood was sanded to 120 grit, maybe less. Also, the rough feeling of the varnish indicates this. You really need to go to 220 or better, stain and lightly go over it again. I would ask him to replace the trim. |
If the sanding was done poorly,you'll get blotchyness in the look of the wood. Finish wise ,I would be concerned about a product that claims you can finish it all in a day. You need proper drying time between coats AND you need to lightly sand between coats in order to achieve the smooth finish at the end. My guess is he did NOT sand ( 280 or 320 grit) between coats. |
Poplar is not a wood for staining. Sand it and refinish in a nice off-white, or other paint to match your decor. Sorry. |

"Having only one Granny Smith apple, I went ahead and made this recipe to rave reviews. I used a significantly larger roast and I would suggest that before the recommended cooking time is done, that the temperature is checked. The roast was a bit "well done" in some areas, making it tough. Otherwise the taste was outstanding."
"Wonderful recipe that I tried after seeing Guy prepare it on his show. This gave me the nice, thick "pub style" chili I had been searching for. Easy to prep, easy to make disappear. Friends gave it multiple thumbs up."
"A good way to use up the rest of that roast beef. I caution that you MUST use good stock and MUST NOT add sweet veggie like carrots. I got a very weird result when adding some frozen mixed veggies. Good, but not what I had expected. Should have followed the recipe to closely. Added a few shakes of oregano which did enhance the dish. Thanks."
"I have mixed feelings about this recipe, based on personal preference and tradition. It tasted good and was super simple to make. This method of making "fried" eggplant cutlets was easier, less mess and obviously healthier. I would recommend letting the eggplant rest on the pan for at least 10-15 minutes once it has come out of the oven. All in..."
"This is a pretty tasty recipe, and FAST and EASY. I increased it to serve 5 and it turned out very well. Next time I might try adding fresh ginger or definitely some Mirin to enhance the flavor. This dish lends itself nicely to experimenting with different veggies. Wish I would have sliced the beef very, very thin - which I will do next time. ..."
"Thanks for an excellent recipe. Salting the eggplant is key, and even with this step, it is a simple recipe. I used my Marinara (recipe posted) and feel that a homemade, authentic sauce is far better than a store-bought version.
Not only is this recipe great on its own (a great substitute for meat), but it is amazing as the only fill..."
"Simple and crunchy, though next time I may re-dip into the egg mixture and flour mix for an even crunchier coating. I did cut back on the hot sauce in the egg mix and feel like I should have cut back to 1/2 c instead of just a few Tablespoons. Chicken turned out golden, crisp and the meat was SO juicy and tender. Only tweak I would make to suit..."
"While I'll have to admit to adding a bit of sugar (not much though), this was a reat way to add a special flavor to lemonade in a pinch. Everyone has a variety of jellies on hand, so this was a no-brainer and a good way to offer guests something different in a flash."
"This didn't have a flavor that remotely resembled Buffalo Shrimp (chicken, etc...) Using only half of the Worcestershire sauce, the flavor was too pronounced. While this wasn't what I had hoped for flavor-wise, this was a decent marinade for grilled shrimp. I liked that the ingredients were put through the blender then simmered. Good idea."
"Yum! I made this recipe using a salsa I had whipped up the night before and it turned out great. Very fluffy and not sticky or wet. Perfect! The salsa had the tomatoes, onion, salt and jalapeno. I didn't even puree it. I will definitely be using this recipe for years to come. Takes a bit longer to make than regular rice or a boxed Mexica..."

Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Sylvanas vs. Warlord Zon'ozz {WoW}
Mar 26th 2012 5:34AM Lets try imagening this without Zonozz ball, he will cast his dot ASAP and imedietly folow with psychic drain and stand still intill Sylv uses her first blighted arrows which is also ASAP, Sylvanas will then use shriek of the highborne to which would slow him for a long time (30 sec), then she would use blighted arrows agein, not on zonozz himslef but in the middel, she imedietly summons her ghols and pulls him to mid, making him stand in the blight and take mdmg agein, next zonozz needs to kill 2 ghols if hes gonna completly avoid wracking pain cause he is so darn FAT, and he cant use psychic drain caus ethen he has to stand still, but he cant relly get to two of the ghols in time cause he is slowed (maybe still another 20 sec), so he WILL take the wracking pain dmg. Durning all of this Sylv would not have taken any dmg save the dot from the begining, and that was only for 3-4 second, while zonozz will have at least lost 20% of his health.
Its lickely that the dot went off when Sylv becomes imune, so zonozz has to cast it agein, giving Sylv time to use blighted arrows to control where his face is so that he cant use psychic drain effectivly, and cause of Sylv´s shriek zon can never hit her with his increasing stacks of focused anger, meaning that the dot is the onlysignificant dmg on sylv while she still hits with all her spells cause of zonozzes (unhelfull) size. when the the slow has even reached the remaining 10 sec she can use her ghols agein and repeat the above actions from the begining.
This is all considered that we dont have the ball, which is a massiv disadvantage for Zon, but it is ultimetly hes size and slow speed that will be his downfall, the bigger they are the harder they fall so to speak.
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Baine vs. Echo of Jaina {WoW}
Mar 13th 2012 10:17AM Baine wins this, allbiet bairly, ill just copy the ideas of the fight from "Rai" "Quaza" and "Ikana" cause im a bit lazy today, but one thing i think that Baine could do is throw his totem at the middel icelance, it would freaze and stop the totem in mid air and it lands into the lava, meaning that jaina is beter off not grabing it and Baine will be free from snare. Baine Bloodhoff FTW!!!
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Baine vs. Echo of Jaina {WoW}
Mar 13th 2012 10:10AM Interesting story, but i disagree with the last part when Jaina throws the totem at Baine in mid air. first (if you folow mechanics) Baine cant be targeted in mid air, thus the totem cant hit, second (if you folow phisical laws(which i think you do since Jaina´s inc lance could melt in the lava)) Baine is generating a lot more force per pound of his body while hes leaping then Jaina could possibly generate by throwing the totem, so it would only bounce off him and do no effect, and thus she threw awey her chance (pun intended:)). still i give you credit for how smartly you illustrated how their spells were used:). like to see more.
Two Bosses Enter: Mannoroth vs. Asira Dawnslayer {WoW}
Feb 28th 2012 5:36AM Dang it, does Asira get more allies beyind Illiden or not??? cause i can not see anywhere in the rules that Tyrande is their, and if she isent this fight is MUCH closer then what ppl here are saying its gonna be. (Thrall is meantiond on Asira´s toolkit, so i cant tell if he helps Asira or Manny, my best bet is manny however)
Two Bosses Enter: Queen Azshara vs. Hagara Stormbinder {WoW}
Feb 20th 2012 4:36PM I belive that Hagara would win, provided that only 2 of Azsharas servants are fighting at any given time Hagara will simply freze the first one and have an easy picking on the other, Azsharas puppet control can also work differently on Hagara, like simply slowing her on movement speed and attack speed, it works the normal way vs Hagaras adds though, also Hagara can use Ice lance to free herself and good dmg to.
I do however find something interesting on both of Hagaras phases, lets take the lightning phase first, Azshara mindcontrols the elemental thus instanly breaking Hagaras shield and stuning her, but this means that the elemental dosent die, so when the second phase comes up, Hagara will in realaty be in Both the lightning phase and ice phase, and i dont care if Azshara can mindcontrol of of them at once, she will still lose at least 2 servants before she gets the cast off.
Other then that Hagara simply has a beter tool kit to counter Azshara.
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Tyrande vs. Warlord Zon'ozz {WoW}
Feb 7th 2012 7:16AM i agree with all the "win Zon ózz coments", he simply outlast Tyrande, also he has epic quotes that "eclips" Tyrande´s plidings to Elune^^. Plus Tyrande CANT use her owl and tiger.
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Sylvanas vs. Yor'sahj the Unsleeping {WoW}
Jan 31st 2012 7:23AM i like your story and agree with most of the fight, but i found the end of it as somewhat strange. Their where no adds when Yors´Sahj enscaped, so their was no reason for Sylvanas to continue with the cast, she could simply have canceld it, slown Yors and been relativly okey throuout the rest. still it was pretty clever with Yors running to the wall:), relly sad that all his quotes got deleted:p
Two Bosses Enter: Echo of Baine vs. Peroth'arn {WoW}
Jan 18th 2012 3:52AM Peroth"arn traversed though the palace gardens, looking around exitingly, today is the day when his new great lord Sargaras would enter Azeroth adn grant even more power to his lojal folowers. but then sudenly everything was going white, slowing down, Peroth"arn starteled looked around to see if their was any enemies nearby, could Illeden have cast this spell on him. SHOW YOURSELF: Peroth"arn shouted angriely, he was about to cast his own spell, when sudenly a black place with lava came into view, and some kind of animal looking part corperal, part physical stood at the other side on a platform.
Unbenouced to the curropted highborn however it was not any usual kind of infiltrators that had cast their spell, it was the Aspect of time himself, Nozdormu. Norzdormu knew that he coudent send himself, his flight or any heroes to the past before they had defeated his other self, Murozond, but at least this proved that he could bring enteties from the past into the future, in this case he hoped that using Paroth"arn to defeat the echo of baine so that the heroes would have less obsticals in their path. But it was importent not to lett the Satyr know, or otherwise the future might get in even greater jerpurdy, so all that the Aspect of time could do now was wait.
Peroth"arn was realizing that he must have been brought somewhere far from the well, anger engulfed him: NOOOO, i cant stay here i must be at the well to recieve my reward from my lord!: The Echo of baine hearing the angry shout opened his eyes and saw a creture with horns and hoves, hair covering much of its body, not so different from himslef, only that it also had Claws instead og hands. the cheften had never seen the Satyr but knew what they where and who they served. A thought rushed his mind: YOU, are you the one responsible for what has happend here?: The young cheften had forgoten in his rage that it was Deathingwing who caused the hour of twilight.
Peroth"arn atension whent back to baine: Shut up you missereble little illusio-: he noticed something, staring for a few seconds and then began a small laugh: Ahaha, I see the magic surounding you now, that must mean that if i destroy you i will be sent back to the palace: With that Peroth"arn made his way though first platform, then on the second one he noticed that the lava was stiking to and empowering his claws, though somewat painfull, and just when he was about to cross the the third one where Baine was standing, Baine shouted: What dark horrers have you brought in this place? By my ancestors honor - i shall take you to task!: In responce Preoth"arn shouted: No mortal may stand before me and live!: The two finely joining combat.
The echo of Baine knowing that he was imune the the lavas heat diped his axe into the sticky liquid, and then swong it into the satyrs chest making him scream of pain, at the same time Peroth"arn used his Curropting touch on the spectre making it take more damage, though not emidietly. Peroth"arn casted felflames on the platform and and slashed eagerly for it to explode beneath the tourens fett, but even though Baine was blind to the truth, he was not blind to the danger, and Pulverized the platform, therby negaiting the spell from ever finnishing and bringing his opponent to the lava. Peroth"arn felling the searing heat on his body began swiming to the next platform, all the while Baine was hacink on with his axe on the satyrs back. when peroth"arn steped up on the platform he felt drained and needed energy, and their was plenty of energy on this half corporal creature: YOUR essence is MINE!: shouted Peroth"arn adn held Baine in the air where he coudent do anything but strugel. but Baine had ways to deal with opponent from a distance as well, using only one hand to ceep his neck from being snaped from the magic he grabed one of his totems with the other and though it at the satyr. Peroth"arn was in the lava agein but quicly maneged to get up agein, anfry and in pain he grabed Baines totem and prepared to though it back at the horned creture, but saw nothing. suprised Preoth"arn summoned forth a large amount of eyes and made them search for the creture, but they found nothing: I can see you: said Peroth"arn hoping to fool the touren to show himself. Baine emerged from the lava where he had been hiding, a trait that was unusual for a touren, bit Baine had done the same to Magatha grimtotem, using a false storm to hide goblin zeppelins and conquer Thunderbluff. Baine made another pulverize one Peroth"arns curent platform: My wrath knows no bounds!: Suprised peroth"arn receved anothe slice before trowing the totem at him, and then swam to the next platform thinking: Clever, littel worm: Baine folowed when he recovered but Paroth"arn used fel flames to block him from aproching, Preoth"arn then proceded casting Fel decay, causing much pain to the touren. Baine responded by thowing another totem at the satyr and then made his way up the platform before Peroth"arn, the two exchenging blows. Peroth"arn wanting to use the totem agein grabed it, but before he could Baine used another Pulverize: their will be no escape!: it was pwerfull enough that the totem sliped from Peroth"arns claws, casting fel decay while he swam to the final platfrom. when Peroth"arn emerged he had no hair left on his body and extremly chared, in pain and in anger Peroth"arn shouted: ENOUGH! it is time to end this game!: going in to a frenzy peroth"arn slashed at the touren with molten claws, finely doing more harm to his advesery then what he took himself, he finely saw victory in his bruning green eyes. But that though shatered into as many pieces as the final platform when baine used his final pulverize. With no more ground to stand on the satyr was dommed: NO! How can can this be!: was his last words before his head and then his claws sank in to the lava. Baine Victories but not queled said: Suffer for your arrogance: He then proceded to raise to platforms agein, where it was less sound to desdurb him.
Norzdormu dissapointed that one of Murozonds creations had foiled his plan to make it easier for the heroes, but he had could do this agein to the other echos in the dragon shrines if needed. As for peroth"arn, he died in the future so his past is still intact, the time has not been altered.
PS: my first comment, hope you like it^^

Comments about Midkini:
The search is finally over! I have a larger chest and I've always been between sizes. I probably tried on over 20 bikini tops in all the stores I went to. Then I found this one. I'm a d cup and I tried it on in a medium and it fit perfectly. It has very good support and is super cute in the tribal print. And I'm sure it looks good on smaller sizes too. Great bathing suit. Super cute! Great Job delias!
