Wedding: 3/15/2013
We chose The Platinum because it was a budget friendly venue with an amazing view. We got married on the Misoura Rooftop that overlooks the Las Vegas Strip. We had the ceremony outside, the dinner inside the terrace ballroom, and the reception back outside on the rooftop.
The service was friendly and professional, the view was amazing and my guests are still raving about their food. I can't wait to go back to Vegas just so I can stay in their hotel suites again. All in all, this is a classy, beautiful place.. I would recommend this venue to any bride on a budget who is looking for a dream wedding.

I couldn't say enough kind words about the Platinum. They made us and my guests feel welcomed. Everything was perfect; from our arrival to the Big Day. Jamie was also the best wedding planner. She kept me focused the entire time. I can't thank her and her team enough.
Wedding: 9/29/2012
When researching our destination wedding - the venue was the biggest and scariest decision to make. This was by far the best decision we made - the space was perfect, exactly as we pictured it to be, the staff was amazing, the value was great - we did an all inclusive package that made planning easier and gave us exactly what we wanted within our budget. Our guests really weren't sure what to expect from a Vegas wedding, and they were shown an amazing fun time that was classy and Vegas all at once. Our thanks go out to Miya and her staff for taking such good care of us. It was an absolutely perfect night!
I had been searching for months trying to find the right place/venue to say my I Dos. When I saw the online photos for the Platinum's rooftop ceremony I fell in love and really thought I had found my venue. I reached out to inquire about prices and got a fairly speedy response. We were able to set up an appointment to view the property and go over our options with in a few days. I was so excited to see it but unfortunately I was STOOD UP by their very own planner. I waited for AN HOUR! No phone call, no email, no text to give me a heads up that she wouldn't be able to make it. I got to the hotel a few minutes early and the receptionist asked me to wait in the lounge while she paged the event planner. They said she wasn't answering her office line or cell phone, they even sent someone to go find her to no avail. I haven't even received so much as an apology via email or phone call. Just completely got blown off. Thanks a lot for wasting my time! If they can't even schedule their days right what makes me think they can plan a wedding.

A huge thank you to Sandra Cambray and Platinum Hotel for making our wedding day so awesome!! The "Hart's" HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLATINUM HOTEL for a perfect LAS VEGAS WEDDING! Everyone had a blast !
Check out our Platinum Hotel wedding video here:
We highly recommend the Misora rooftop for the ceremony and reception! Amazing views! But wouldn't go over 65 guests. We had 63 and it was perfect!
Wedding: 5/9/2014
Where do I begin?! There are no words to explain how great the Platinum Hotel was. We got married there at the Kil@wat Restaurant & Pool Deck location on Friday, May 9th, 2014. The coordinators were great to work with, always answered any question I thought up, and were just incredibly helpful and accommodating. Our dinner was absolutely amazing. All of the servers and bartender were extraordinary, so polite, courteous and professional. They made a plate for my husband and I so we didn't have to serve ourselves, and also put a small plate at our table with all 3 hors d'oeuvres, 2 of each so both of us could try one, we thought that was very thoughtful of them because we didn't get a chance to try any during cocktail hour. Everyone raved that the food was delicious. One of my guests said he requested a liquor they did not have in the bar, but the bartender left and shortly returned with it in hand – not sure how he got it, but he did!
All of their rooms are suites, which includes kitchenette, separate living room space, washer/dryer, bathrooms with double sinks, standing showers & whirlpool tubs, etc. Also there are no resort fees, and they have free Wi-Fi, which is hard to find in Vegas! Their front desk service was wonderful, very polite and courteous, any time you saw staff around the building – in the elevator, going around to us hotel guests laying by the pool, etc, they were always so nice and friendly. I better stop now because I could rave about this place for hours and hours!
If you decide to have a Platinum wedding, trust me, you will NOT be disappointed! They completely exceeded our expectations, the view of the Strip is spectacular, all of our guests keep telling us what a wonderful time they had, everything was absolutely perfect. This was the best decision we ever made. We had the perfect wedding.
We had our wedding at the Platinum Hotel Sept 5, 2013 in the misora ballroom. We had 60 guests and everything was absolutely PERFECT! I will go into detail about everything. We went with the all-inclusive package but chose not to use the minister they chose. We received a credit for this no problem.
Actual venue – It is a bit off the strip and in a bit of a weird neighbourhood but don't let that bother you. The views that you get from the misora roof top patio and ballroom are AMAZING. The backdrop for the ceremony was absolutely perfect. The hotel room was also perfect as we chose to do our family photos before the ceremony so the suite was the perfect size to fit everyone. We had our Ceremony on the Misora Patio overlooking the strip just before sunset. It was perfect. I'm glad that I chose not to do it at sunset because it would have been way too dark. We also had the dancing out there and even though it
was insanely hot it was awesome!
Reception Space was perfect for our size but had we had anymore guests it would have been a bit squishy.
Food: Was great! We didn't do a tasting so Romie (Also AMAZING) gave us a list of the "best" selections and we went with that for our buffet. We chose not to do a wedding cake and the dessert supplied was perfect. No one even noticed we didn't do a cake cutting!
Music – The DJ was awesome. They really had the best music and were able to play to the crowd and keep everyone going.
Event Coordinator: I dealt with Jamie to begin with until the contract was signed and then met with Romie on rehearsal night. Both of these girls were AMAZING. Jamie responded to any and all question I had very promptly and made sure the contract was perfect before we had to sign or put any money down. As for Romie; my wedding just would not of went so well without her. Even though I had only e-mailed a few times when we showed up for rehearsal she felt like a great friend! Romie handled EVERYTHING I mean everything, I brought most of our décor from home and just gave it to her during our rehearsal and she set it all up! She even came down before the wedding and helped the guys put on their boutonnières.
All in all I just couldn't have imagined being married anywhere else. Staff, Venue, Food, Price everything was just perfect. If you are even thinking about using Platinum for your wedding I suggest you do it! You will not be disappointed.
Wedding: 3/22/2014
When my MOH and I started looking for vendors in Vegas we had to base it all on reviews and pictures since we didn't live in Vegas and we couldn't see anything in person. We worked with Jamie and Romie over email for a year and they never missed a beat.
Jamie was who we dealt with in the beginning and there are not enough words to describe how great our experience was with her. She was easy to talk too, quick to respond, and ALWAYS willing to help. She even worked with our budget!!
Once we decided that the Platinum was the place, we started working with Romie, the wedding coordinator. Romie was not as responsive to our emails, BUT the day of the wedding she was INCREDIBLE. Everything went perfectly. She coordinated our wedding so well and everything went according to plan. It was a perfect day and I have Romie to thank for that.
The Platinum was a great find, I have my MOH to thank for that. The prices were great and the customer service was even better. Our guests still can't stop talking about how great our wedding was... If you're getting married in Vegas, definitely do it at the Platinum!
Wedding: 9/28/2013
We never did a scouting trip so we were a bit nervous, especially when we drove past and realized that it's tucked between a gas station and a Super 8. But then we went inside & met with Romie, the wedding coordinator, and all our fears were put aside.
Planning/staff: Romie was incredibly professional and had all her ducks in a row. She made the entire event run smoothly, from the moment that friends showed up to help with set-up until the last song. (A friend on the set-up team even heard her correct the staff to make sure that every single place setting was perfect.) Every person on the Platinum team was nothing but wonderful.
Venue: We were on the pool deck & Kil@Wat lounge and got tons of compliments from guests about what a great set-up it was. We got married on the deck, moved inside for dinner, then spent the entire night outside dancing. The ceremony was at sunset, so people loved that the lights on the Strip came on behind us as we said our vows.
Food: INCREDIBLE. SO MUCH FOOD. SO DELICIOUS. I have an aunt who is critical about almost everything, and she RAVED about the food. Loved every bite.
Bar: 4 hours of open bar, and the bartender was very generous with his pours. Everybody was really happy with the "Silver" level bar.
Overall: Could not be happier with our choice to go with the Platinum.
Wedding: 8/10/2013
The Platinum turned out to be an amazing venue for our destination wedding! Lubna was our wedding planner and she was fabulous. Her attention to detail and her customer service were flawless. This woman is meant to be a wedding planner! My husband and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in control. We truly owe her the credit for our amazing day. The Platinum was beautiful and close to the strip, where most of our 60 guests stayed. Our wedding ceremony and reception were held on the pool deck. We had a beautiful view of the strip and the weather was perfect for August.
The only negative comment I have was the minister was very unprepared and spoke very quietly. She was with Elegant Weddings. Good thing my husband and I have positive attitudes and are genuinely happy people, because she was horrible. We addressed our concerns with The Platinum and were reimbursed a small amount of money. They also informed us that they would no longer be using that minister. That's really all I wanted out of it. No other bride and groom should have to go through that the day of their wedding.
At the end of our special day all we really cared about was that we were finally married and we were surrounded by our friends and family. I truly would recommend the Platinum and some day we hope to renew our vows there...as long as we have a different minister!!
Wedding: 5/24/2013
My husband and I both loved how the ceremony and the reception turned out. The view from the Misora room was breathtaking, the food was incredible, and everything came together perfectly (ie: tables, chairs, lighting, centerpieces, etc). We thought that the wedding coordinator did an amazing job on the day of the wedding and we were also really impressed with the photographer and the minister.
So why give the hotel only 2 stars? My husband and I felt like the hotel made the before and after process extremely stressful. On our wedding day, my family gave us a beautiful set of personalized champagne flutes as a wedding gift, which my husband and I used for the first time on our wedding night. Once the wedding ended, I tried to grab the flutes, but the staff members had already cleared the tables. When I asked the staff about the champagne flutes, they said that they had already boxed up all of our personal items (anything we brought, like votives, frames, etc) and everything would be brought up to our room. The next day, I went through the all of the boxes and the flutes were nowhere to be found. I informed our coordinator right away, and a few days later, she said that the staff could only find ONE of the flutes. So in order to replace the one they lost, the sales manager told us that she would order another personalized champagne flute and mail them back to us (we don't live in Nevada). We thought that this was a nice gesture, but in our eyes, the flutes were irreplaceable because we used them on our wedding night. It's been about 4 weeks since our wedding, and we still have NOT received our flutes.
Unfortunately, this was not the only issue we had with the hotel. Before the wedding, I had a difficult time communicating with the wedding coordinator. Although she was very nice in-person, she usually took 2-3 days to respond to my emails and she often pushed for a "one size fits all wedding" versus trying to tailor the wedding to us. I'm not sure why the hotel automatically charges you an extra 20% for gratuity because it seemed like they had a set way of doing things (right down to how they set the tables) and they didn't want to want to go outside their normal routine. For example, when I asked to have the plates & napkins set a certain way, the coordinator gave me a hard time about it. Or when I asked if she could put the tables away from the windows, she came back with an excuse as to why it wouldn't work. I had purchased up-lighting for the curtains and I just didn't want lights glaring in people's faces. Ultimately, I was able to get things the way that I pictured, but I had to argue with her along the way. If she had just said "ok" in the beginning, I would have been a much happier customer.
I also thought that the package was misleading in regards to the flowers. The package says that you get 8 custom centerpieces for the large tables and then 4 small ones for the high tables, but in all-actuality, you get a $600 floral credit towards your flowers. If you want the centerpieces to work within the $600 budget, you have to choose from a list of fairly small centerpieces. In order to get larger centerpieces (tall one's w/ about 60 stems), I had to spend more money and I had to decrease the number down to 5 centerpieces. They turned out gorgeous, and since I only had 5 tables, things worked out-- but I think that the hotel should advertise the floral credit.
Wedding: 7/2/2012
The roof top venue was amazing. The view was unreal and we captured it in all of our wedding photos. The staff was exceptional. I would go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat
Wedding: 4/19/2012
The staff at the Platinum hotel were absolutly fantastic. They are there to help you ever step of the way. I still can't believe we were able to have our dream "rooftop" wedding at such a beautiful location and for such a reasonable price. If anyone if looking for a fantastic location, beautiful hotel (with balconies) and view of the strip look no where else.
Wedding: 2/25/2012
I could probably write 10 pages on how good the Platinum and every single employee there was so good to me and my friends and family during our entire wedding experience -- from booking the hotel block and the ceremony/reception space to checking out. I am so thankful that they made my wedding day and my entire vacation as close to perfect as it could get.
It took me almost 6 months to find a venue once I'd decided to have a destination wedding in Las Vegas for 50-70 people (we ended up at 65). I knew the criteria I was looking for -- something that was well priced for both myself and my husband as well as my guests who would feel an obligation to stay where the wedding was being held. I also did not want to get married in a chapel down the hall from a Taco Bell (yes there is a place like that). But most importantly, I wanted it to be cool and reflect Vegas - no point in dragging people across the country to get married in a place that I could copy/paste from my hometown. The Platinum is the perfect union of all three criteria.
However, as we all know, something that looks perfect on paper isn't always....but this really is! From my first points of contact with Nathan and Nicole who were so knowledgeable and helpful and responsive!!!! to getting into the nitty gritty details with Marie (the planner), Gita (the concierge extrordinaire), and Steve (reservations manager) everyone was in lock-step. I planned all of this from a distance, so details could have easily gotten lost in translation, but they didn't. Everyone was such a professional and just so good at they're jobs that my friends and family thought I'd been to the venue several times (nope, all from my living room).
So right about now, you're thinking - something must have gone wrong. Well, about 2 weeks before the wedding, Marie (the planner) left the hotel and Miya stepped in. While this could have been a disaster, it wasn't. Miya picked up right where Marie left off as if I'd been working with her the whole time. And in the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself she was so amazing and helpful from all the stuff I shipped to the hotel ahead of the wedding (decor mostly) to leaving us some food and drinks in the room for when we got back from the reception (cause you never get to eat at your own wedding). The reception venue itself (we used the Misora rooftop) is pretty amazing. Our pictures are of us and the entire strip behind us...and the pics they use on their website are very true to life, which I found not to be the case at other places in Vegas. The food was delicious -- and my husband is a chef so he was sure to at least taste all of it. But other than that we got so many compliments that the food wasn't standard wedding fare, which made us feel really good. The bartender was also excellent and had a lot of people's drinks in his head by the middle of the event :) Alejandra is the manager in this area and did the most wonderful job making sure I was taken care of and that I got some food and drink (not that I was able to get a lot -- pulled in so many directions).
The rooms are to die for!!! ~900 sq feet is the smallest one!!! That's twice the size of my first apartment :) All of the rooms have jacuzzi tubs, which is such a treat after a long day -- even not your wedding day. Our room had a view of the strip which is gorgeous, but some of my other friends/family staying there had views of the mountains or of the pool. Ever
Wedding: 3/3/2012
I recently held my wedding ceremony and reception on their rooftop terrace and it was AMAZING! The back drop of the Strip is so beautiful but the service is what really counted for me! The banquest staff was really on top of it and made everything successful. Alejandra our banquet captain for the evening took care of every little detail as if were her party and she made sure we felt comfortable and made sure everything was perfect. Oscar our bartender was on top of it.... let's just say we never stopped drinking and he managed the flow perfectly! Miya, Josh & Nicole were also excellent in executing the details before we arrived. The food was also very good and the staff helped ensure we stayed full! Thank you Platinum for an awesome wedding!
Wedding: 10/18/2011
We stayed at the Platinum during our week in Las Vegas and also booked their Misora rooftop venue for our wedding reception. It was unbelievable, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. There was only 28 of us but it didn't feel as if the venue was too large but I think it would still be fine with twice that number of people. The food and service were amazing. Marie Quinby, the planner from the hotel was on hand to keep everything running smoothly. The views from the terrace were absolutely stunning, sunset over the strip whilst eating dinner. The perfect backdrop for dancing the night away. I would recommend this location to anyone. I also recommend the hotel, fabulous suites, 10 minutes walk from the madness of the strip but a haven of sanity away from the madness!
Wedding: 5/22/2011
We held our ceremony and reception in Misora at the Platinum. Misora is a room on the 17th floor of the hotel that looks out onto a terrace that faces the strip. Although I had to hire all my vendors separately, it was very easy because the banquet managers took care of it all. I just told them who I wanted to hire and paid directly through Platinum. I could not imagine having my wedding at any other venue in Vegas! It was by far the best value and the service was great!
Wedding: 4/9/2011
We had our reception in the Misora room and rooftop terrace. It was a really nice and intimate setting with a great view of Las Vegas. The food and service at the reception was great too. The rooms include a lot of ammenities, which is nice for out of town families. The only "not as positive" comments: Our sales rep at the venue was really nice but didn't seem to know some key wedding things that she should have. For there barely being anyone in line, the valet was an extremely long wait.
Wedding: 10/6/2010
We had our reception on the roof top venue.. Everything was amazing! The view was stunning, Wonderful food and service. Our coodinator was great, everything was taken care of and perfectly. We also stayed in this hotel which was really great. I have nothing bad to say about the Platinum, They made our evening run so smooth. My Husband and i were thrilled and all our guest were so happy!
Wedding: 10/1/2010
I am from Las Vegas and was looking for something a little different. No banquet hall, no country club. We used the 5th floor Kilawat Restaurant and pool deck for our event. We had an amazing night of dancing outside under the stars with fire pits, great couches, and a great view of the strip. We had a nice indoor reception that started it all. Nicole the sales director was so great with our event. Most of our guests also stayed at the hotel. Their staff and rooms are amazing. Everyone was so friendly from the front desk to the Valet to the maintenence, ect. All of our guests couldn't believe how great the hotel was. Also, it is a non-gaming and no smoking hotel which is what we were looking for. This hidden little gem is amazing! They also have a smaller room on the rooftop upstairs for smaller party's. We had a 72 guest count and it was perfect. My parents who paid for the wedding can't stop talking about what a great venue we found. Thanks Platinum!

lupus erythematosus
lupus erythematosus
Either of two inflammatory autoimmune diseases, both more common in women. In the discoid type, a skin disease, red patches with grayish brown scales appear on the upper cheeks and nose (often in a butterfly pattern), scalp, lips, and/or inner cheeks. Sunlight worsens it. Antimalarial drugs may help. The second type, systemic (disseminated) lupus erythematosus (SLE), may affect any organ or structure, especially the skin (with marks like those of the discoid type), kidneys, heart, nervous system, serous (moisture-forming) membranes (e.g., in synovial joints or lining the abdomen), and lymph nodes, with acute episodes and remissions. Symptoms vary widely. Kidney and central-nervous-system involvement can be life-threatening. Treatment includes pain relief, control of inflammation, and trying to limit damage to vital organs.

The University provides a range of transport schemes to support staff and encourages sustainable travel whenever possible
By bike
Cycle facilities
Locked cycling facilities are now available for use on Streatham and St Luke's campuses:
- The Streatham facility has 40 cycle spaces, solar powered lighting and meets Cycle Exeter's best practice. Cyclists wishing to use the facility should get the code for the facility from the Streatham Sports Park reception. Cyclists can use this map to find out where cycle parking is on Streatham Campus.
- The facility at St Luke's has 30 spaces. Cyclists wishing to use this facility should get the code for the facility from the accommodation office in the South Cloisters.
The University of Exeter has joined up with Cyclescheme for employees of the University to use cycles through a government scheme to encourage people to cycle to work, which saves the employee income tax and national insurance on the cost of the cycle, and spreads the cost over 12 months. Cyclescheme allows the employee to redeem a voucher at a large number of local cycle shops in Devon and Cornwall which participate in the scheme. The scheme operates under a 'salary exchange' arrangement which is approved by the government. Further information on the scheme is available on the Cycle to work scheme webpage. For information on free cycle training please contact Paul Mouland.
Pool bike scheme (St Luke's)
Based at St Luke's? Why not cycle to your next meeting? We are now piloting a pool bike scheme for staff working on the St Luke's Campus. Pool bikes are free to use and you have a choice of a ladies' small hybrid or a medium gents' hybrid. They are easy to book, contact the St Luke's Porters lodge. Visit the pool bike webpages to find out more.
By bus
Discounted travel passes
The University has partnered with Stagecoach to offer staff working at the Streatham and St Luke's Campuses discounted travel passes. For an application form and further information on the passes as well as information on bus travel, to, from and between our Exeter Campuses please go to the Sustainability webpages.
There is a free minibus service from Exeter St David's railway station to Streatham Campus for staff and students. From 23 September the minibus service will expand to include the St Luke's campus and Veysey building for a trial period.
For staff in Cornwall, First Bus operates a number of frequent service bus routes linking major towns in Cornwall. Staff are able to receive subsidised bus transport with First Bus using a zoning system. A discounted travel pass to travel at any time within Cornwall is also available. Information can be found on the Falmouth Exeter Plus Travel Information webpages.
By train
Public transport season tickets
The University will provide an interest-free loan for an annual season ticket subject to the certain conditions. For further details, please see the annual travel loan form PD16.
Exeter has two mainline railway stations - Exeter St David's (main station) and Exeter Central. The average journey time from London Paddington is 2 hours 30 minutes to Exeter. The Streatham Campus is a 10 minute walk from St David's station and 15 minutes from Exeter Central station. The walking route is signed from St David's' station and the Streatham Campus map shows the walking route.

Car leasing scheme
The University's car scheme offers eligible staff the opportunity to acquire a new, energy-efficient 'green' vehicle at much lower rates than those generally available to members of the public, through salary exchange. Further details on the scheme and eligibility can be found on Human Resources website under Car Leasing scheme.
Car parking
There is parking available at all University sites although this can be limited. Staff are advised wherever possible to take advantage of the alternative travel options detailed on this page, including car sharing.

Staff are able to purchase annual parking permits (although for certain campuses criteria must be met). Staff car parking permits are only available through salary exchange, unless you meet one of a few exemptions.

Sam Zell: 'The 1 percent work harder'
Billionaire real estate investor Sam Zell agreed with capital pioneer Tom Perkins that wealthy Americans are being unfairly criticized and said that the 1 percent work harder.
"The 1 percent are getting pummeled because it's politically convenient to do so," Zell said, an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" with Betty Liu.
People "should not talk about envy of the 1 percent, they should talk about emulating the 1 percent. The 1 percent work harder, the 1 percent are much bigger factors in all forms of our society."
Perkins, a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, in January wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal in which he said the public's turn against the rich represents a "dangerous rift" in America and compares such progressive radicalism to the German Kristallnacht.
"I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its '1 percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American 1 percent, namely the 'rich,'" he wrote.
While Zell said "persecution" isn't the right way to describe treatment of the top 1 percent of earners, he sees envy of the rich and class warfare as growing problems in America, blaming government regulations for a widening income gap.
Zell, who helped to expand the industry of U.S. real estate investment trusts in the 1990s, also discussed REITS in the interview, saying there are too many of the publicly traded property companies in the market.
There are more than 200 publicly traded REITs in the U.S., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Zell, 72, created companies including Equity Residential, now the largest publicly traded apartment landlord, and Equity Office Properties Trust, an office owner that was sold to Blackstone Group LP near the peak of the buyout boom in 2007 for about $39 billion.
In 2007, Zell bought the Tribune Co. and its newspaper and broadcast assets, eventually taking them private and becoming chairman and chief executive officer. The company filed bankruptcy in 2008 and emerged under new controlling ownership in 2012.

Retailers: Pre-order Your Summer 2014 Tournament Kits
Build and Support Your Local Player Community with a New Season of Tournament Kits |
Organized Play | Published 24 April 2014 |
Six Summer 2014 Tournament Kits are now available for pre-order through our B2B store or your distributor!
Tournament Kits are the foundation of FFG's Organized Play programs, and each kit contains prize support and helpful suggestions on how to best support your local community. With these tools, stores can host leagues, weekly events, or even a large-scale tournament to draw in players and build a thriving group of players. (For those looking for Game Night Kits, see "Where are Game Night Kits?" below.)
What Games are Supported?
Whether you're leading players on a charge against an Orc army, helping them start a run on a heavily iced server, or piloting a smuggling ship through enemy lines in a galaxy far, far away—Tournament Kits can make your store the local hub of a thriving, global community centered on Fantasy Flight Organized Play. Visit the links below to learn more about each of the games supported by Organized Play; then pre-order your Tournament Kits today!
Where are Game Night Kits?
As Organized Play and the games we support grow, we continually look at how to improve our programs. Starting with the Summer 2014 Season, pre-orders and release schedules for Tournament Kits and Game Night Kits will follow separate timelines. Tournament Kits will continue to use the schedule we have followed in the past, with three four-month seasons per year, and Game Night Kits will change to a new schedule that will be announced soon.
We want to support both Tournament Kits and Game Night Kits in the best way possible and believe separating their release schedules allows us to increase each kit's effectiveness as we move forward. As always, we will continue to look for ways to improve this system.
More information on the schedule for future Game Nights Kits and how to purchase them will be announced shortly.
A New Name for Tournament Kit Seasons
Another change as we move forward is the names we use to describe each season of Tournament Kits. While a simple numeral has sufficed in the past for separating our different Tournament Kit Seasons, we felt that we could improve upon our old name and give players something that is more evocative. In order to achieve this, we have changed the names to represent the seasons of the year in which the majority of each Season takes place (Spring, Summer, Winter).
The amount of promotional material in Tournament Kits for the Summer 2014 Season has not changed.
Are You a Player?
If you're a player, you can do your part to grow Organized Play by telling your favorite local game store about our Tournament Kits. If you're interested in taking a more active role in bringing events to your community, here are some ways you can help promote Fantasy Flight Organized Play:
The exclusive items and alternate are cards from these Summer 2014 Tournament Kits will be available for a limited period of time only, so be sure to talk with your local retailer about hosting tournaments for our Organized Play games.
Order Now
Season 1 Warhammer: Diskwars Tournament Kits were a huge hit, and player demand for our other tournament games, such as Android: Netrunner and X-Wing™, continues to grow. Don't miss out on your chance to build a strong and healthy community in your store, order your Tournament Kits today, and stay tuned for more information about upcoming Game Night Kits!

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 Custard!
Facts about Custard
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Custard's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Custard. I'm about 5-6 weeks old (heck if I know), and was rescued by the nicest people of Tenth Life. They took me in even though I was vewwy, vewwy sick (wif ringworm). But, they (and Snuggle Rescue) got me all better now, and I'm living large with my two older foster brothers, TJ and Feeny (another TL kitty), 2 dogs (who I really don't interact with much) and my loving foster dad!
I have a voracious appetite, and I tend to clean up my plate, as well as my brothers'! I have tons and tons of energy, and love playing "Tag" with Feeny (he can't catch me no way!). I am very curious about every little thing in my world, and I am mostly curious about you and your family...would you let me come live with you sometime soon?
Other Pets at Tenth Life Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Custard, a St. Louis Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in St. Louis, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in St. Louis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in St. Louis 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. Louis 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. Louis paves the way for another one to be saved.

If you are interested in a quick desert, then this is it. Rugelach is pastry of Jewish origin, made in the form of a crescent by rolling a triangle of dough around a filling. Can include raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, chocolate, marzipan, poppy seed, or fruit preserves which are rolled up inside… I am thinking Nutella right now! Sigh! Anyway, this is a very good desert that you can actually make it into a breakfast as well. Enjoy!
In a bowl, place the flour and cold butter. With two knives start cutting into the butter until the mixture resembles small peas.
Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix everything until the dough sticks together. Place it on a lightly floured surface and start kneading for a couple of minutes.
Divide the dough in three pieces and wrap it in plastic. Though you don't have to refrigerate it, I usually like to do it for about 20 to 30 minutes as it becomes easier to work with. Meanwhile get the pecans ready, about ¾ of a cup, and put them through the food processor.
When you are ready for the dough, roll out one piece into a circle of about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
Now you can have some fun with the jam. I used apricot and some blueberry in this case, but you can run with your imagination on this one, anything works. I also sprinkled some white chocolate here, and I forgot to take photos on pecans so make sure you add them at this step as well.
For the next step I used a pizza cutter. Cut the dough in 12 pieces or less if you like them bigger.
Roll each cookie starting from outside. Place them on your cookie sheet and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture (optional).
Bake for about 25 minutes and enjoy!
[pureHTML ID=40]
- 1¾ cups Flour, all purpose
- ¾ cup Butter or margarine, cold
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ⅓ cup Apricot or Blueberry Jam
- ½ cup Chocolate, white - finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Sugar, granulated
- 1 tsp Cinnamon, ground

text: When we first started covering Lil Silva on DAD, it was as a producer for mind-blowing tracks with vocals from Banks and Sampha. Little did we know that Silva didn't need vocalists, as he's more than capable of doing it on his own. He's cooked up a five-track EP Mabel, which is due out on August 5. He churned out a soul-stirring instrumental on the title track, and puts his heart, soul, guts, and everything else into that vocal. Truly moving stuff. Word is that Mabel also features Banks on two tracks, and her upcoming debut LP has a lot of Silva production on it. Maybe they took notes from each other?

It's a little early, but thought I would ask for help with design advice and pricing help for making winter evergreen containers. Several clients of mine have asked for winter containers already.
Do you have a favorite winter container combination? How are you pricing your containers? Any advice on putting the containers together? I'll be contacting local christmas tree farmers for prices on evergreen tips and bales this week. I have already started drying hydrangea blooms, seed pods and sedum stems. Where do you get your red twig dogwood stems, winterberry stems? Thanks in advance for your help! |

If there is lumbering in your area, that is a good source for evergreen tips. Walk the field ditches for grasses. If it goes big, plant patches of perennial grass. Doesn't take much of a patch to provide a lot of seed head bouquets. Dogwood normally is found on the edge of poplar stands here, or near the edges of sloughs. It's another one that is easy to grow if you have a patch of moist soil. Cut to the ground every two years if you want straight stems. Prune knee high if you want branched stems. Cattails are another easily harvested one, but it's too late this year. (November) You want to get the heads before they dry enough to fall apart. If they are marginal, spray with hair spray. Catch them just as the rushes are turning brown. Teasles are another interested dried seed head. Note they are considered noxious weeds in some areas. If you are wreath making, you may be able to preserve fall leaves by using a plant press, then spraying them with a mix of glycerin and a carrier. Either water, or alchohol. You will need to experiment. Depending on your use you may want some curl. Lot of this stuff is available in bulk from floral wholesalers, but after looking at their prices you may want to harvest for them instead of buying from them. |

Thanks for all the information Sherwood. I didn't find any lumber mills in my area, but there are plenty of Christmas tree farmers though. I was able to buy 40 pound bales of white pine, blue spruce, concolor and fraser fir for roughly $15 a bale. They trim off the bottom foot of branches before selling them so they fit in the stands. I found red twig dogwood and winterberry growing on a farmers land near a pond. He sold me a truckload of both for only $20. The winter arrangements were fun to make and sold really well. |

Sheep Shearing Demonstration (2:00 PM)
with Emily Chamelin and Kristen Rosser
The Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival is pleased to have Emily Chamelin of Westminster, Maryland and Kristen Rosser of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as our sheep shearing demonstrators.
Emily is a full time machine shearer who grew up in Carroll County Maryland. Her first introduction to sheep was through 4-H and her shearing education began right here as well, having attended the Maryland Shearing School. Emily shears several thousand sheep in Maryland and Virginia each spring and travels throughout the remainder of the year to the Midwest and overseas to continue to pursue work and adventure opportunities that shearing can provide. She also teaches at shearing schools all over the USA as well as competes in shearing competitions both here and abroad.
Kristen Rosser started shearing in 2012 after studying fiber art at the Tyler School of Art. It was there, while using a lot of wool in her artwork that she decided to learn how to shear sheep. Kristen went to Ohio to participate in the shearing school taught by Ohio State and decided that shearing was going to be her profession. After that she teamed up with Emily to become a faster and better shearer and now works in Pennsylvania and the northeast with other shearers and on her own.
There will be a general discussion of sheep, wool, and sheep handling. Please drop by to enjoy our show and ask questions.

Archive for the 'Motorsports Hall of Fame' tag
Chrisman, Petersen, Zanardi lead Motorsports Hall of Fame's Class of 2013
Jack Chrisman. Photos courtesy Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
As is its common practice, the Michigan-based Motorsports Hall of Fame of America chose its 25th annual class of inductees from the broadest possible range of racing disciplines, from motocross to magazine publishing. Seven great names will be enshrined in the hall during a Detroit induction ceremony in August.
Leading the class is Jack Chrisman, part of drag racing's first family of stars. A Dust Bowl refugee from Oklahoma, Chrisman became embroiled in California hot rodding and became the National Hot Rod Association's first true star. He was a top runner in Top Gas for years, before stuffing a nitro-fueled injected engine into a Mercury Comet that he built along with Bill Stroppe, creating a prototype for later Funny Cars. He was making drag driveline components when he died in 1989; Chrisman's company endures today.
From a similar world came Robert E. Petersen, a Los Angeles native and onetime Hollywood publicist who spent $400 on the risky launch of Hot Rod in 1948, which he sold from the back of a motorcycle. Petersen Publishing grew until it encompassed 27 monthly magazines. When his two sons died in a plane crash in 1975, Petersen turned to philanthropy, founding the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and bequeathing a sizable collection of historic firearms to the National Rifle Association's museum upon his death in 2007.
Two-time CART champion and Formula 1 veteran Alessandro Zanardi has experienced one of the most remarkable comebacks in sports history. He nearly bled to death after losing both legs in a horrific 2001 crash in Germany, but has returned to not only race hand-controlled touring cars, but also become a world-ranked handcyclist, winning the New York City Marathon in that class and a gold medal at the 2012 Paralympics in London. Zanardi remains a huge favorite among American race fans.
Also being inducted are D-Day hero Bud Moore of Spartanburg, South Carolina, whose teams won NASCAR (Moore is also enshrined in the NASCAR Hall of Fame) and Trans-Am championships; Harvey Firestone, the tire magnate; Kansas City road racer Masten Gregory, who won Le Mans in 1965 teamed with Jochen Rindt; along with former U.S. and world 500cc motocross champion Brad Lackey.
The induction ceremony will take place Wednesday, August 21, at the Fillmore Theater in downtown Detroit. For more information, visit MSHF.com.
Vic Edelbrock Sr., Derek Bell among latest inductees into Motorsports Hall of Fame
Photo courtesy Motorsports Hall of Fame
People in auto racing can follow dissimilar routes to high achievement, a circumstance recognized by the Motorsports Hall of Fame in Detroit. This past weekend, seven stars in a wide variety of disciplines were inducted during ceremonies at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Taken alphabetically, the list is led by Derek Bell, one of the greatest endurance sports car drivers who ever raced. Bell shares five wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, plus three at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and a pair of World Sportscar Championship titles. Inducted posthumously was Neil Bonnett, a key member of NASCAR's famed Alabama Gang. He was mostly associated with the Wood Brothers and Junior Johnson, but Bonnett's win in 1977 at Ontario Motor Speedway was the last for a Dodge at NASCAR's highest level. He retired from racing after a very serious crash and became a respected TV commentator, but was killed at Daytona while attempting a 1994 comeback.
Floyd Dreyer isn't a widely known name even among knowledgeable race fans. His induction should remedy that, because his influence was huge in the early days of both automobile and motorcycle racing. Known as Pop, the Indiana native was involved in the sport for 70 years. He began racing motorcycles on the dirt and the scary board speedways, and built premium-level race cars for decades. Dreyer is also credited with operating the first Honda motorcycle dealership in the United States.
Vic Edelbrock Sr. is one of the post-war pioneers of the California speed-equipment business; his family firm remains an industry giant to this day. Another inductee, Ricky Johnson, was a stellar motocross and supercross champion, winning seven AMA titles before moving to his present discipline, off-road desert trucks. Ed Pink started building race engines at his own shop in 1961, producing many a thundering Top Fuel engine, but has since moved on to Indy cars, Midgets and power in road racing.
The final inductee, Danny Sullivan, will forever be known for his spectacular "spin and win" in front of Mario Andretti during the 1985 Indianapolis 500. The Kentuckian's resume is considerably broader, including a stint in F1 with Tyrrell, a CART title with Penske Racing and a podium finish at Le Mans 1994 with Thierry Boutsen and Hans-Joachim Stuck aboard a Dauer 962, a modified Group C Porsche that ran in the GT-1 class after being driven through a homologation loophole.
For more information on the hall and its inductees, visit MSHF.com.
A Hobbs-ian choice: David Hobbs to host Motorsports Hall of Fame induction ceremony
David Hobbs
One of the things that's really cool about racing is that it believes in its halls of fame, which by extension means that it really honors those who built its past. One of the longer-established institutions is the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, originally based in Novi, Michigan (for which the legendary Indy car was named), but now located in the Detroit Science Museum. One of its inductees is David Hobbs, the British racer, 2009 inductee into the hall, and current Speed TV play-by-play co-host for F1, who has also contributed commentary to Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.
Hobbs will emcee the induction of the hall's newest members (chosen, in part, by yours truly) on August 24 at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit. Seven new stars of racing will be enshrined: Donnie Allison, the Alabama Gang stalwart in NASCAR and former Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year; Sid Collins, a legendary radio voice of Indy from the early 1950s through the 1970s; Roger McCluskey, who won championships in USAC sprint cars, stock cars and Indy cars; Augie Pabst, a fabled American sports car driver, particularly in the early Scarabs; Ed "The Ace" McCulloch, a prolific drag winner in both Top Fuel and Funny Cars; Bruce Penhall, the greatest Speedway motorcycle racer the United States has ever produced; and Ed Winfield, a genius-level machinist and carburetor builder of the 1920s who likely invented the aftermarket speed business.

Register at www.nationalseminarseries.com.
Where's the bite
Cod and black sea bass: Roger Simpson of the Frances Fleet said, "Wednesday found the sea bass to be aggressive with a full boat limit of the black beauties up to 4 pounds. Plenty of scup as well. Some nice-sized green cod to nearly 20 pounds as well, with two anglers sharing high-hook honors of four nice cod apiece."
Commenting on the cod bite, Simpson said, "We strongly recommend that anglers swing for the sky whenever they suspect something is up. There are some nice cod starting to show up, but the fish just all too often do not bite (aggressively). if you are waiting for that big bite from a big cod you may be waiting for a very long time, almost all of the big cod in the 25- to just over 40-pound range I have caught over the years I have felt either a soft slow pull, no bite per se, or the feeling as though my sinker rolled off a rock."
Tautog: Bruce Fournier fished with his brother and nephew Saturday off Newport.
"[We] did very well," Fournier said, "including a couple of 8.5-pound fish. All fish were in 80 to 90 feet of water on green crabs."
John Littlefield, of Archie's Bait & Tackle in East Providence said, "The short to keeper ratio is getting better, but the fishing has been on and off. One customer fished the Beavertail area and caught five keepers, the next day nothing. The same thing is happening at Conimicut Light, the Wharf Tavern and the bridges in Barrington."
Mike Wade of Watch Hill Outfitters, in Westerly, said, "The blackfish bite is good, with anglers catching tautog at rock clusters along the coast. The larger ones in the 8 to 11 pounds."
Simpson said, "Tautog fishing continued strong this past week with a full boat limit [Wednesday], with fish to nine pounds and a few nice cod fish to boot."
Striped bass: Anglers continue to catch striped bass along the coastal shore and in winter holdover spots.
"There's still some consistent striper action along the south shore," said Tommy Pelto, of Tiverton, who landed a school bass in the low-20-inch range Saturday.
"The lure was a gold Halco Outcast," Pelto said. "Forty grams I think. I picked up the bass at the saltwater edge in Middletown."
Some anglers have turned their attention to winter holdover spots. Littlefield said, "Customers are catching school bass north of the hurricane barrier in Providence."
Dave Pickering, noted local angler and author/lecturer, said anglers are turning their attention to "places like the Connecticut rivers, the backwater ponds of the south shore in Rhode Island and rivers of upper Narragansett Bay. These are the places that will produce all winter long if you want to continue catching stripers. For the most part, this is a jigging game on light tackle. Work the bottom slowly, because that's where the fish are holding."
Freshwater: Anglers are catching pike at Chapman Pond in Westerly, said Mike Wade of Watch Hill Outfitters.
"[Wednesday] turned out to be a decent outing as I landed three commons [carp], all around 10 pounds," said Pickering. "I got them all on Pecaviva sweet corn fished ahead of a method ball. All of the fish also came in the early afternoon sun when things had warmed up a bit." Visit www.ricarpfishing.blogspot.com.

Pit Mix FOUND in Newburgh
FOUND near Wesselmans shopping center in Newburgh off 261. This poor girl was freezing and half starved to death when she found us yesterday.

She is very sweet, seems to be housebroken, and listens very well. Please call or txt if you have any information about this sweet girls owners. If not claimed, she will be listed on PetFinder and put up for adoption.

We are getting ready for an inspection before selling our condo. We have sunk sooooo much money into this place, with a total remodel. We're hoping to squeak by with the old garage door. Real estate agent said to make sure the safety mechanism works. Well, it doesn't.
Is this something we can fix ourselves or do we need a professional? The door and the opener are probably about 30 years old and hasn't been serviced in a very long time. I wasn't sure doors that old even had a safety feature, but it is mentioned in the instruction booklet. Its a Sear's door opener. Thanks for your suggestions. |

It's scary. You say it is about 30 years old and you still have the instruction booklet. That's unheard of. Please post the model number - that will help. |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Tue, Mar 9, 10 at 16:41
Yes, we still have the original instruction manual......but its in hieroglyphics. :) Its a Sears and the model number is 139.53200 |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 9, 10 at 17:11
I looked up your manual and the instructions you want are on page 30. With pictures. Step 4 is what you need. One of the statements is "The door must reverse on striking the obstruction." This is a little misleading. The door actually stops on the obstruction momentarily and then reverses to the open position. If you follow these instructions and it doesn't reverse you will need help. You must live in California. I haven't heard of anywhere else that the realtor advises this. |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Wed, Mar 10, 10 at 7:21
Thanks Don, Actually, my manual says to put something that is 1" high on the ground and see if the door reverses when it hits it. But....don't we want it to reverse if any upward pressure is put on the door anytime during its downward trek? That's how I was testing it yesterday. I would press the button to lower it and then run over to it and try to stop it with my hand. Maybe I have a misconception about how this works. But if the strength of my hand/arm couldn't stop it.......couldn't it still hurt something/somebody? |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 10, 10 at 9:31
What you are doing is correct but it does press down pretty hard before reversing. Adjusting it on a 1 or 2 inch board will be the same for the entire travel of the door. The door will probably hurt a small child or animal but will not trap them which is what was happening in the beginning. Your opener was built before they came out with door sensors which makes them even safer. |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Wed, Mar 10, 10 at 9:43
Thanks don! I'm curious as to why not having a sensor would make it safer? Also......we want things to pass inspection. We're pretty mechanically-challenged. Can we put something along the track to make it slide better? What could we use? I appreciate your help! |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 10, 10 at 12:10
I should have reread that sentence I wrote about the door sensors. It reads the way you took it but what I meant to say was the door sensors make it much safer. Don't put anything on the track but you can use silicone spray on the rollers. Spray the bearings. |

Hi everyone,
As you may have noticed, we've been sprucing up the site a bit. Among other things, we've added new ways to upload photos and email notifications of post replies. We are still cleaning out cobwebs and weeding some areas of the site, but we are also working on some bigger projects like a better search engine (yay!) and a mobile app. We'd also like to get some feedback from you. What enhancements or additions would you like to see? What do you love? What do you hate? Think big and small! We can't promise the moon, but please know that we will read and consider every one of your ideas and suggestions. We appreciate your loyalty and dedication to our site and we know how important your community is to you. Help us make it even better! Please use this post to offer your feedback. But, as always, you are welcome to contact me directly by clicking on my profile page. Best regards, Tamara Amey

I would very much appreciate if GardenWeb can improve on loading up pictures more and one at the time without upload them into photobucket. I saw other site, that one can upload pictures 10 at the time without needing an account in Photobucket. Everything else is great. Thank you so much for providing us with a great website on gardening. Marie |
i agree. I dont have photobucket and can only post one picture per comment on a post so I need to comment several times to get all my photos uploaded... |
A live chat option would be nice, to talk to other members. |

Hello Tamara! Firstly, can I say that I am so pleased that the forum is proving very worthwhile as we seem to have new faces appearing regularly again. I had thought a while ago that it seemed to have 'dried-up' but you folks have not let me down!! It's great to log-on (I try and get my DR fix on a daily basis, lol!!) and see the enthusiasm of fellow Adenium growers here. As regards new features, I honestly have little to suggest. I have not actually uploaded pics recently so was not aware that they can now only be added one to a post...you could previously add multiple pics one after the other before couldn't you, and you know how we all like to see pics!!! A live chat would be awesome!! Anyway, all the best Tamara.....Gill from the UK. |
Hi there folks, yes I agree with Locoguy that a chat option would be brilliant!!! Hi Gill, I hope you are well Regards Averil (UK) |
I love the idea of an iPhone app. I am newer to the community, but I have used these forums for many useful tips. We had a very severe drought here in Arkansas this year. I was able to purchase a lot of new plants on clearance, and advice from this forum has really helped. |

Hi everyone! You asked and we listened. Today we are very excited to be debuting our newest feature -- post editing! To use this feature, go back to the post you wish to correct and you'll find the link under the 'My Clippings' links on the right side of the page. I want to give a special shout out to all the testers who tried to break the editing tool. ;) Your feedback was insightful and invaluable. Thank you! You may have also noticed that we adjusted the login cookie awhile back so that you should not have to login repeatedly. Stay tuned -- we have more cool things in the works! As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Best regards, |
Hello Tamara Would it be possible to add a little info on who and when the topic was started beside the title at every post? Take for example this particular topic started by you. It could look like this: RE: GardenWeb needs your feedback! started by gwAnnouncements on Wed, Oct 17, 12 at 16:25 It's just a little convenience as discussions gets longer requiring a few pages, or sometimes gets revisited after a long break. Thank you. |
So is this the place for feedback or should I do it somewhere else? |
Hi Tolip, Thanks for your suggestion. I will definitely add it to our list for consideration! Best, Tamara |
Perhaps a "First unread post" link at top of pages instead of having to scroll though long threads. Kirk |
I agree with kirk. I think the most recent response should come first instead of having to scroll all teh way down to read the most recent response |
Hi again Tamara You could also add a post/submit message button direct on first page beside the preview button. This would allow posting direct instead of having to go through the step of previewing if one is sure and not requiring any change(normally the case for text only postings). Previews are normally required only if photos are attached. For that matter, a bigger message edit box would be ideal for easier spelling check before posting. Thank you. |

Whisper a Little Lullaby to Me
0 reviewsTsuzuki sneaks away to spend the night with Anna. Surreal lemon for everyone.
Chapter Fifteen: Whisper a Little Lullaby to Me:
7:00 p.m., Kimoto Manor.
Finally! Tsuzuki managed to sneak away to visit Anna tonight. "Go check on her" as he called it. He snuck into Anna's room. She sat in futon waiting. Tsuzuki smiled at the doorway.
"Been up waiting for me?" he asked. Anna smiled at him.
"That depends," she said.
"On what?" her fiancé asked. She shifted around a bit.
"Why are you here?" the woman asked. Tsuzuki straightened up some.
"I came to check on you," he lied. Anna shook her hand.
"No," she said. "That's not why you're here."
"Okay," he said. Anna leaned in closer.
"Why are you really here?" she asked. Tsuzuki chuckled.
"I came to see you," he said.
Tsuzuki tried to keep a poker face. "Make love to you." His lover smiled at him.
"Good answer," she said. Tsuzuki slid the door closed behind him and walked over to the futon. He knelt down in front of her. The man kissed her on the lips. Anna kissed back. Her fiancé gently pushed her back onto the futon. His lips lightly brushed her left ear.
"We have to be really quiet," he whispered. "We can't wake them up, can we?" Anna shook her head. Tsuzuki gave her a naughty little smile.
"Good girl," he whispered. The Shinigami kissed her on the throat. Anna softly whimpered. She reached up and slid off his jacket. The woman wasted no time unbuttoning his shirt. Tsuzuki let her slide it off of him. Anna put up her arms as he rolled off her red and white blossom pj top. Her lover threw it to the side. Tsuzuki took in a moment to behold her plump, well-rounded breasts. Her hard nipples flirted with him.
"Beautiful," the Shinigami whispered. His breath grew heavy. The feeling of his member stirring awake drove him to unzip his trousers. Tsuzuki rolled off his boxers and threw them out. Anna slowly spread her legs for him. Tsuzuki softly chuckled at her.
"Hang on," he whispered. "It's coming." He rolled off her red and white bottoms and threw them out to the floor. The man nuzzled her on the neck as his fingers found Anna's lacy white panties. He played with the lace before sliding them off. Tsuzuki let his fingers stray down to her warm wetness.
The young man awoke in the misty wilderness after chasing his red-haired river nymph. He found himself lying in the tall grass in front of a warm, foggy lake. The pine trees blocked out the sun in the cooling mist. Two cranes took flight across the dim morning sky. The young man looked around.
Where did she go?/, he thought. The lad paused when he heard singing./
Who is that?/, he thought. Curious, he crawled through the tall, wet grass. The lad peeked over the tips. A young woman lied on her back, singing an old forgotten folk song of innocent youth. Her soft, airy voice put must songbirds to shame. The damp reeds blended in with her long, stringy black hair. Her pomegranate red lips begged for a kiss. Her open white dress revealed a healthy developing chest. The young lad blushed./
Suddenly, she stopped. The young man noticed a pair of greenish-brown eyes staring up at him. His heart stopped still.
"Hi…" he mumbled. The maiden smiled at him.
"Good morning dear," she whispered. That sentence alone switched on something in his brain. He himself couldn't piece it together. The girl reached up and caressed his cheek.
"Kiss me," she commanded. His knees would not bend. Yet, his mind wasn't in control. Her lips felt like fresh lotus petals. He could not give himself to her. Yet, she drew him in deeper.
A cold draw woke up his senses. He opened his eyes and looked around. Dark warm water surrounded his body. Fear and excitement intertwined with each other before him. A figure lit up inches from his young body. The light took form into a woman. The bubbles danced around her curves. The woman drew open her eyes. The young man's heart leapt in joy.
You found me!/, he said in her mind. You actually found me! /She didn't speak. Her body lied onto her back and began floating to the surface. His nymph emerged from the lake like the naked Venus being born in the sea. He floated in the water enamored with her.
Tsuzuki used Anna's breasts as a pillow to guide him to more erotic dreams about her to tide him over until their next date.

Artist Statement
I'm a painter, and I've been working in Brooklyn since 1991. I often use images from old films in the public domain. I pick a shot that I find visually interesting, and which also may appeal to me for its banality, menace, goofiness, or oddness. I have affection for these movies, and I like finding remarkable, resonant images in unremarkable, obscure films. I work freehand from a photograph or a screen capture, or the screen itself, using a three-color palette.
The Guestbook
pinkuroy says: Interesting color and (from old movie) dreamy atmosphere.

This is an Indian blue peacock bred in captivity at the Waikiki Zoo, located in Queen Kapiolani Park in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
The Indian blue peafowl is a fairly large bird of the pheasant family 'Phasianidae' having 138 species in 38 genera, consisting of pheasants and partridges, including the jungle fowl (includes the domesticated chicken), francolins, monals, Old World quail, grouse, guinea fowls and turkeys.
The term peafowl refers to three species: Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus) that breeds from Burma east to Java, and the African Congo Peafowl (Afropavo congensis), which belongs to its own genus Afropavo (not Pavo).
The males and females of the first two, also called the Asian Peafowl, are generally called peacocks and peahens, and both of them almost look more or less similar. But the adult Congo Peafowl (Afropavo congensis) look quite different from the adult Asian Peafowl and similar to immature Asian Peafowl.
The Indian blue peafowl is native to the Indian subcontinent and they are naturally distributed throughout South Asia, and now bred in captivity in most zoological parks and botanical gardens throughout the world.
The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has iridescent blue or blue-green colored plumage. The peacock's tail (train) is not actually the tail feathers but they are very long upper tail coverts. Birds of both the Asian peafowl species have crests on their heads.
The plumage of the female Indian Peafowl (peahen) is not as attractive as the plumage of the male. The color of the Indian peahen's plumage is a mosaic or mixture of brown, dull green and grey colors. It does not have the long upper tail coverts of the male.
In the case of the Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus), also known as the Javan Peafowl, peacocks and peahens are quite similar in appearance, and mostly it is quite difficult to distinguish the males from the females. Both males and females have tall pointed crests, they are heavy-winged and long-tailed.

Tuesday will be a big day for Real Madrid - and also for Cristiano Ronaldo.
That's when the Spanish giants will start their Champions League campaign, in difficult Group D at home to Premier League champions Manchester City.
Group D has been labelled the "Group of Death" because of the presence of the league champions from four important countries: Real, City, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.
Jose Mourinho's team will have to put behind them their appalling Spanish league form, if they want to make a good start in Europe.
The whites have picked up just four points from their first four games, and are already eight points behind arch-rivals Barcelona, an unprecedented distance at this stage of the season.
As usual, Mourinho will be looking to compatriot Ronaldo for goals and spark in attack. But how will the Real fans receive Ronaldo on Tuesday?
The Portuguese striker will have to face the fans for the first time since his bizarre, enigmatic outburst of September 2.
After scoring twice in the 3-0 defeat of Granada, Ronaldo stunned the fans and media by saying he had not celebrated his goals "because I am sad, and the club knows why this is."
He has refused to elaborate on his complaint, which has been interpreted in two ways. Firstly, that he wants a pay rise - from 10 million (13.1 million dollars) per year to 15 million - in order to earn the same as the world's top paid players.
Last Wednesday Ronaldo met with Real president Florentino Perez, who reportedly told the striker he was disappointed with his outburst. However, it seems that Perez also told him that he will shortly have a pay rise.
The second interpretation placed by the media on Ronaldo's explosion is that he is annoyed at not receiving more support from the club and his teammates in his bid to win the Fifa World Player award in December.
Apparently, Ronaldo was furious at Marcelo and Xabi Alonso both having said that the award should go to Real and Spain captain Iker Casillas, who was outstanding for Spain at Euro 2012.
On August 29 Ronaldo had to put up with third place in the European Footballer of the Year award - behind Barcelona stars Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi - and looked miserable at the awards ceremony in Monte Carlo, in front of the watching world.
Ronaldo's campaign for more money and more recognition has gone down very badly with the Real fans.
Online polls have shown a big majority of fans opposed to him having a pay rise, whilst supporters' blogs have reflected anger at a multi-millionaire asking for a raise in a country of 25 per cent unemployment, pay reductions for public sector workers, and drastic cuts in public services.
Many fans have called him a disgrace to the club, have asked Perez to sell him - and have vowed to jeer him on Tuesday.
He has also been criticised for his selfishness on the field, and for his insistence on taking practically all of the free-kicks.
Even Marca, which has always been positive about Ronaldo, said that the forward risked becoming a figure of ridicule and even loathing with his attitude.
On Sunday Radio station Cadena SER asked whether Ronaldo would be greeted with jeers and boos on Tuesday.
His lethargic, apathetic display on Saturday in Real's 1-0 defeat at Sevilla will not have endeared him to the fans.
Ronaldo's situation is almost unprecedented in the history of world football. How many teams has it happened that a team's leading goal-scorer is unpopular with many, if not most, of the fans?
How is it possible that a player who has scored 151 goals in 150 games -since his record-breaking move from Manchester United in 2009 - receives more jeers than cheers?
Tuesday's game could either see Ronaldo booed by his own fans, or - as he himself and president Perez are hoping - the start of his reconciliation with them
