A bunch of clips that show you how to suck in black ops. lol Some of these are really funny. After playing a few games I started joking around and almost my whole team was doing the same thing. Jumping off of high places and dying, stabbing each other, and just stupid stuff, but it was one of the funnest nights on Blops, which is rare. Really just a bunch of clips of people having fun.

"I love my embosser! I'm proud to use this on my stationery. All details came out so clear. Tiny prints was awesome in getting my order out so quickly!"
"Bought this as a gift for a friend who moved to a new home. Looks great and I know she will love it. My husband even liked it so much once it came in the mail that he wants one for us!"
"My self inking stamper was excellent quality. Fonts were beautiful and the stamper was sturdy and felt like it will last. I am very pleased."
"I was a bit nervous not being able to see how the stamp would look with my personal information before ordering, but it was exactly as expected and has a very polished look with clean lines."
"I have seen this type of stamp on other envelopes and have always appreciated them. When ordering our Christmas cards this year from Tiny Prints, they had a special when adding another item. I took the leap and purchased the custom self inking stamp. I am very pleased with our custom stamp. I think it gives our envelopes a more polished look. It gives me a sense of family pride having this stamp on our special mailings."

John Huff/Staff photographer University of New Hampshire freshman Samantha Gertz pats Sebastian during a visit to the Dimond Library on Wednesday. The dog-visiting program is designed to ease the stress of students during final exams.
DURHAM— Mia was sprawled out on the floor of the Dimond Library surrounded by smiles and fetching loads of attention from students around her, grateful for a break from their books.A 91⁄2-year-old golden retriever, Mia was visiting the library to ease stress during exam week at the University of New Hampshire.She's not the only dog to visit. Earlier on Tuesday, a cocker spaniel and a chocolate lab stopped by to wag their tails and promote "frenzy-free finals" on campus, a program sponsored by Healthy UNH, Dimond Library, Dining Services, the Parents Association, the Alumni Association, Health Services and ElderPet.Sarah Gardner, Mia's owner, also takes her around to nursing homes and the Durham Library where she's read stories by youngsters in the children's room. For the students gathered around Mia on Tuesday, it was clear some were thinking of their pets back home."Your pets miss you as much as you miss them," Gardner said.As she made her way to each student, stopping for a pat here and there and laying down to be fussed over by a group of hands, the stress brought on by endless cramming for finals drifted away."It's a great idea. Dogs are very therapeutic to be around," Andrew Rossi said.Laura Gardocki, admittedly not a dog person, was still taken by the canine as she mulled around her feet.The program began last year, initiated by Healthy UNH, a program that works with Elder Pet. All the dogs are trained through the Delta Society, a national training organization for dogs."It's been absolutely fantastic," said Tracey Lauder, assistant library dean, adding that exam time is one of the most stressful times of the academic year. The biggest challenge they face at the library she said, is, ironically, the dedication of the students there."UNH students are so dedicated. They're really conscientious of what they're doing," she said. Some even want the library open 24/7, she said."That's the kind of students they are," Lauder said.Working with these dogs was a great way to offer them an opportunity to do something a little fun. She said "the library strives to provide the resources students need for academic success whether it be a book, video camera, digitized media or, a gluten free cookie and cuddle with a dog.""I think it's a great break," Tonya Prymak, a veterinary major in her sophomore year, and missing her Jack Russell terrier, said. She suspects just as pets can cheer up patients at a hospital, these dogs lighten up the often miserable feeling of the week of exams."Oh, I love dogs," Allison Pike, also a vet major, said. She was gearing up to take five finals this week and when she heard the dogs would be at the library, decided to make a stop.Gardner said she notices with the children reading to dogs at the library, they gain a sense of confidence because the dogs aren't judging their ability. With seniors at nursing homes, they tend to reminisce about pets they'd had or wished they'd had over the years. Mia has also helped someone get over their fear of dogs."It's a variety of things," Gardner said.She suspects Mia's breed has something to do with her gentle nature, too, not to mention the training she's gone through to be around wheelchairs and other things that can bump into her without reacting negatively."I think goldens are very acclimated toward being with people," she said.Taking spots on the floor while Mia cozied up to them, students took pictures on their phones and cameras to take Mia's beaming face with them as they returned to hitting the books."If this was a final, I'd get an 'A'," Ashley Paradis said as she snapped a photo of Mia greeting more students as they walked in the room."It's really helping me de-stress because I was freaking out about finals," she said.Lauder said Elder Pet has agreed to bring the dogs in throughout the school year, not just during finals week.

text: The Tom Curry wiki last edited by comicfan11 on 01/21/15 01:08PM View full history CreationTom Curry was created by Robert Bernstein and Lee Elias, and illustrated by Ramona Fradon.OriginsOrinigally, according to the Silver Age continuity, Tom Curry was the biological father of Arthur Curry and husband of Atlanna, an Atlantean princess who was banished by her own people for her frequent visits to the surface world. He was a lighthouse keeper from Amnesty Bay, Maine who found Atlanna thrown on the shore by storm-tossed waves, and rescued her from harm. Both Curry and Atlanna made the lighthouse their home and developed a relationship that would lead to the birth of Arthur Curry. Tom Curry accepted his relationship, and though he always knew there was more to her than she would let on, he'd never asked about her origins. However, all of this became evident when he found Arthur playing underwater after he had apparently been there for several hours without drowning. Several years later, while she was on her deathbed, Atlanna revealed she was from a lost continent called Atlantis and Arthur would inherit her abilities to breathe underwater, as well as have the power to communicate with sea life. After Atlanna's death, Tom Curry became determined to train him physically and mentally so that one day he can be in complete control of his powers. He also taught Arthur to always view himself as someone special, as a savior of the oceans, as the King of the Seven Seas.Tom Curry later married Mary O'Sullivan, an ordinary human and had a son named Orm. Orm, fully human, grew up a troubled child and was always getting bailed out by his half-brother, Arthur. Being in the shadow of his brother, Orm grew up to have lots of hatred towards Arthur not only for the powers he never could possess, but also because he thought that his father favored Arthur more. Orm eventually disappeared for some time and resurfaced years later as one of Aquaman's greatest adversaries known as Ocean Master.However, after the universe was rebooted during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Tom Curry's origins altered as he was no longer the biological father of Arthur but instead took him in as a son after finding him swimming near the lighthouse where he had operated at. He became his father and mentor; teaching him how to speak English and gave him the name Arthur Curry. One day after Arthur came back from a swim in the sea, his father was presumably dead because he never returned. Arthur returned to the oceans and ventured throughout the world, eventually growing up to be Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas.Major Story ArcsBrightest DayIn Brightest Day, Tom Curry was depicted to be Aquaman's biological father who had served in the US Navy and later chose a life of seclusion as a lonely lighthouse keeper in Amnesty Bay (as shown for the first time during Blackest Night). Afterwards, Black Manta destroys his tombstone.New 52In the New 52, Tom Curry was depicted to be Aquaman's biological father as a lighthouse keeper who raises Arthur to be the man he is today, but only appears in flashbacks, photographs and hallucinations. He makes his first appearance in Aquaman #1 at night watching the seas with Arthur in Amnesty Bay. Arthur asks his father why he wanted to be a lighthouse keeper when he could be the captain of his own ship, and Tom replied that the captains needed someone on land to help watch the shores; and it's called responsibility. Later on, Tom Curry appears to be standing alone on the pier glaring at the sunrise while Arthur plays nearby, mourning over the thoughts of Atlanna, wishing she was there to see how much Arthur has grown. Arthur approaches his father asking him why does he stare at the pier during sunrise, and Tom replies that he wants to be there when his mother returns. Later it is revealed that Tom Curry had served on many different ship crews, piloted some boats and even guided some research vessels before becoming a lighthouse keeper.Afterwards, we see Tom introduce Arthur to Dr. Stephen Shin, and allowed him to observe his son's capabilities. Over time, Shin tries to convince Tom to reveal Arthur's powers and origins but refused not to, taking all the evidence he had on Arthur. Allying with Black Manta, Shin attempts to retrieve some of Arthur's blood, having Black Manta to attack Arthur; but Tom, being the father he his jumps in to interfere. However he suffers a heart attack and dies three days later in the hospital.

The first time I was able to see the orignal Mobile Suit Gundam movies was through Zune on Xbox Live. On there they had the three compilation movies of the original series, three compilation movie of Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack. Watching these movies on Xbox Live has lead me to buying a large amount of Universal Century Gundam DVDs. I'm starting my up with the first Mobile Suit Gundam series and working my way toward Unicorn. I think I'll get F-91 another time. People say it's bad and I also wanted to hold off on it anyway since buying all these DVDs costed a lot of money. Also I didn't see Victory Gundam or ZZ for sale. I'm not sure about Victory but ZZ picks up with what happens after Zeta and I would like to see that. Even if they decide against making a english dub.
So I went through some of the forums on this site and I saw the people seem to perfer the movies over the series. I can understand the thinking on that. The movies go at a faster pace and you don't need to invest as much time or money to watch the movie as the series. But of course there's things cut out of the movies that you would see in the series. The whole episode of The Battle in Texas in changed in the movie. To be honest I enjoyed the battle in Texas Colony in the series then the movie. The movie takes a more serious tone the the series. There are chractors almost completly taken out of the movies. All this is understandable. They needed to take a whole lot of materal and reduce it to a two hour movie. But it does change the story of Mobile Suit Gundam. Well it's nothing like they change they made for the Zeta Gundam movies but still you're not getting a same story.
A advantage I found for the movies is that they want back to very importaint points in the story and expanded them. I admit before I even began to watch the first episode I wanted to see these senes again. I find them and they are not nearly as long as the movie verson. These were redone and I admit the movie makes a these importaint senes more importaint and entertaining. These movies was their second chance to make something more entertaining and I admit there were improvments.
I can tell you know the first movie was better then the first third of the series. In fact I see some of the early episodes skipable. Not that it wasn't fun to watch some stuff I didn't get in the movie. Maybe the problem is that I know what's going to go down. From what I read on the MSG wiki it seems the series is going to pick up. I'll share my final view after I finished the series and give one for my series review. Until then I'll wait until I'm done with the middle part of the series to write a review of the second movie and once I finish I'll do one for the third movie and the entire series. After that I'll go onto Stardust Memory.
Onther then Zune on Xbox Live and some DVDs I get on Amazon Toonami is one of the few sourses of Anime. And I guess Zune is not going to be on Xbox Live much longer... So I thought why not look at the current line up.
My friends are not happy about the story jumping around with different seasons. But this is something I actully enjoy about the show. I think it helps the show from getting boring and gives you something to look forward to after a season is done. Over 200 episodes aired here in the states and it seems to be going strong.
Deadman Wonderland
This is a new fun anime. I didn't know what to think at the begining. A child is framed for killing all his classmates. But this turned out to be really fun to watch. This anime throws a bunch of crazy situations at you. It's a prison turned game show. I like to think this is the anime verson of super jail. Well not as crazy as super jail but the story is better.
Casshern Sins
I actully debated with myself if I should get this on Zune or not. It seemed interesting but there was anime that caught my eye over this one. I'm happy becuase not only do I get to watch it for free but I don't know the story so it gives me something to look forward to each week. Casshern is in my opinion the weakest show of the line up and guess what. It's good and when your worst is good that tells you something. It's a interesting anime and a good part of the new Toonami line up.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
I'm very glade they are airing this again. I missed good protions of this show due to my old job and maybe now I can see the ending.
Ghost In The Shell: SAC 2nd GIG
I been tuning in for several episodes of Ghost In The Shell this time around. I watched it many times. I'm not against having this one the line up though. For anyone who has not seen it I would suggest taking a look.
Cowboy Bebop
Unlike Ghost In Shell I do still watch Cowboy Bebop each week. Someine said it was a anime that should continue to air and I agree. I like the idea of having a show to go to. When it's done airing keep it off for awhile then bring it back.
Cartoon Network brought Toonami back with a very strong line up with great anime. I look forward to seeing it again next week and what they will bring us in the in the future.

National Campus Safety Awareness Month Recognized
Posted Sep. 18, 2013
In recognition of National Campus Safety Awareness Month, the students, faculty and staff of Kent State University at Stark treated the Jackson Township police officers and firefighters, along with the campus's security staff, to boxed lunches on Monday, Sept. 16.
Dean Walter Wagor and Assistant Dean Bathi Kasturiarachi, among other members of the campus, passed out 70 lunches from the flagpole area, located at the front of Kent State Stark, as police cruisers and emergency vehicles drove through. The safety personnel were met with words of gratitude and appreciative handshakes for the superior protection and service that they provide to the Kent State Stark community.
Each September, Kent State Stark continues this tradition of showing their appreciation for the vigilant people who ensure the safety of more than 11,000 students, as well as nearly 500 employees, on the 200-acre Jackson Township campus.
To view photos of the event, visit Kent State Stark's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KentStateStark. For more information, contact Cynthia Williams at 330-244-3262 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Manchester United duo on course to be fit for derby
Wayne Rooney and Rafael have returned to training and should be available for Manchester United's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City on Monday.
Rooney returned from international duty with a groin injury, while Rafael suffered a similar problem during Saturday's win at Sunderland.
"Wayne and Rafael started training this morning, which is good news. They should be fine by Monday," United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said.
Ferguson is also hopeful skipper Nemanja Vidic and Jonny Evans will have recovered from back and hamstring injuries respectively.
"They are not there yet, but we have time on our hands to get them right," he said.

On this episode of Reality Cast, I'll be covering all the other states besides Texas that are dialing up the restrictions on abortion. Well, and Texas, just not as much. A policy analyst from Guttmacher will be on to help!
'Vaginal Organisms' a Justification for North Carolina 'Motorcycle Safety' Anti-Abortion Bill
North Carolina state Rep. Pat McElraft (R-Carteret) explains why she supports SB 353, a motorcycle safety bill that contains anti-abortion amendments. Video cut from WRAL.com livestream. Read more here.
Podcast (rh-reality-check-audio): Download | Embed
RH Reality Check Editor in Chief, Jodi Jacobson, joined Sonali Kolhatkar on Uprising radio to discuss the more than 40 anti-woman bills that have passed state legislatures in 2013, with a special focus on Texas, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
During the debate on the motorcycle safety act Thursday, the subject of motorcycles only entered the debate once. "I own a motorcycle," said state Rep. Beverly Earle. "I want to let my motorcycle buddies know when I vote against this, it has nothing to do with them."
New York has been on the forefront of some of the most cutting-edge labor movements, but when it comes to child models, New York is behind more than 20 states that include child models in their state labor codes. That may soon change.
Hours after the state's Republican governor threatened to veto a Sharia law bill containing abortion restrictions, a state subcommittee took up a motorcycle safety act that was rewritten to add nearly identical anti-choice amendments.
Live Video: North Carolina Debates Abortion Bill
Update, Jul 11, 11:00 a.m. ET: The North Carolina House today debates a suite of abortion restrictions tacked on to a motorcycle safety bill.
Update, Jul 10, 10:40 a.m. ET: The North Carolina house will be in session at 2:00 p.m. ET today and may debate HB 695. There is a rally at 1:00 p.m. ET in any case.
Update, Jul 3, 11:24 a.m. ET: The North Carolina senate approved HB 695 by a vote of 29-12. The bill has been referred to the house for concurrence. The live stream has ended, this is a recording of the proceeding.
The North Carolina senate debates legislation that would place restrictions on how and where abortions are performed in North Carolina. Find all our coverage of North Carolina here.
While the committee debated the legislation, pro-choice activists met outside the capitol to protest government interference in personal decisions, building on the previous day's Moral Monday protest, at which dozens of protesters were arrested.
This week, a new study suggested hookups might be harmful to psychological well-being, North Carolina passed a law that will force health teachers to tell students abortion causes pre-term birth, and a man was held up at knifepoint, with only his condom taken.
HB 695 passed the North Carolina senate Wednesday in a 29-12 vote, adding North Carolina to the list of states that have in recent weeks circumvented the traditional legislative process to push through sweeping anti-abortion bills.

ABINGDON, VA (Thursday, June 30, 2011) – Earlier today, Food City officials, along with several of their customers presented a check in excess of $48,000 to area United Way Disaster Support Funds. The monies are earmarked to benefit victims devastated by the tornados that ripped through our region.
"Food City is a locally owned and operated company and we have seen first hand the devastating effects of the recent tornados. Many of our friends and neighbors have suffered extensive losses, including a number of our own associates," said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.
Area Food City locations conducted a collection drive May 19 through May 28th. Shoppers were given an opportunity to make a $1, $3, or $5 donation via scan able slips available at the check outs. The desired contribution was conveniently added to their order total.
"In the hours and days following the tragedy, our company made a corporate contribution of $10,000, in addition to truck loads of donated water, ice, food, product and empty boxes to assist area victims and volunteers in the clean-up efforts. Many of our associates have volunteered their time and resources, even taking vacation days to assist as well. But we also wanted to give our customers an opportunity to get involved and as you can see, the response was absolutely overwhelming," said Smith.
The week long event raised a total of $48,142.01. The funds were distributed among the three United Ways (Russell/Washington Counties, Greene County and Pulaski County) serving some of the most heavily affected areas; each organization having established a fund dedicated exclusively to tornado relief efforts.
"Every penny of the monies collected for Washington County will go directly to the victims to assist in our rebuilding efforts," said Travis Staton, chief executive officer for the United Way of Russell and Washington Counties. "We are so grateful to Food City and their customers and associates for once again stepping up to help our community in the greatest time of need."
"We are extremely fortunate to live in such a kind and caring community, where folks still believe in lending a hand to help their neighbor," said Smith. "I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank our loyal customers and associates for their tremendous generosity, WCYB/WEMT for the opportunity to partner with their Path of Destruction, Road to Recovery campaign and our United Ways and many other local agencies who have provided vital assistance throughout our community during this difficult and trying time."
Headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, K-VA-T Food Stores operates 106 retail food outlets throughout the tri-state regions of Southeast Kentucky, Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.

Well i went out and changed some lights. I bought a 10 pack of Leds off of ebay for 10 bucks and strangely they worked great i put them in the license plate lights, dome and truck lights and had enough left for the side marker lights but i dont want them any brighter so i wont. I also changed the headlights with a pair of Recon Diamond White headlights. They work great but i guess i was expecting more. They arent any brighter than the originals just whiter and look better but i guess i was just expecting more. Oh and BTW if your just goin to replace the original little lights dont waste your money on the silver star verisons there no brighter there the blue one.

15 Healthiest Grilled Main Dishes
by Toby Amidor in Grilling, Healthy Recipes, May 10, 2012If you've been grilling the same recipes each season, it's time to shake things up. We're giving you plenty of deliciously healthy main dish recipes to choose from—meat, chicken, fish and vegetarian—all for less than 400 calories per serving.
Beef, pork and lamb can all be healthy choices for the grill. Be sure to choose lean cuts of meat, keep portions around 3-4 ounces per serving and limit the amount of fatty ingredients like butter and oil.
- Grilled Pork With Arugula and Grape Salad
- Argentinean Skewers With Sherry Vinegar Steak Sauce and Grilled Scallions
- Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint
- Garlic-Mustard Grilled Beef Skewers
Fish & Seafood
Fish and seafood are lower-calorie options for the grill, and they'll cook quicker, too. You can also get your daily dose of omega-3's from fattier fish like tuna and salmon.
- Grilled Shrimp in Lettuce Leaves With Serrano-Mint Sauce
- Blackened Salmon With Mango Salsa
- Fish Tacos With Chili Mayo & Grilled Corn
- Grilled Mahi-Mahi With Black Bean Salsa

Vampires [in the Sanguine Universe] 101
Brought to you by MikazukiYuki
Id like to start by saying that what I think a vampire is will not necessarily fit the pop culture definition of one. You are free to disagree with me; however, if you wish to create a vampire for the Sanguine tournament, the vampires MUST fit in the Sanguine universe, and must therefore follow the rules listed here. And no, I will not accept But theyre not from that world as an excuse.
The biggest thing most people who are into modern vampire fiction will disagree on me with is my mystical-magical-only-semi-scientific view of vampires. I have several reasons for this.
>>>One, vampires are more supernatural than scientific. Science cannot explain everything, but magic can.
>>>Two, apparently trying to define them as scientific results in 3P1C PH4L3, like the Twilight series. <rant> Smeyerpires are NOT vampires--theyre dream beings that Stephanie Meyer thought up and created, she just used vampire as the closest term. Vampires do not sparkle. They are not perfect marble Adonis statues. They do not contradict the rules of their own creation. And they are deep, more so than any human in the Sanguine universe. Oh, and they have personalities, too. </rant>
>>>Three, I actually draw from more than just pop culture--I use actual vampire lore, too. And vampires were never scientific until recent times. Yes, I will use science to define them, but not to fully explain them, aside from why certain vampires are different from others and maybe certain things they can do.
That being said, if you have any questions regarding anything in this guide (aside from flames saying what a vampire should be and how I got everything wrong), just post a comment, and I will answer it to the best of my ability. Dont be surprised if I just redirect you back to a certain section of this guide; if I do that, it is because your question has already been answered.
And now, on with the guide.
Part one: The Definition of a Vampire
First off, let us begin with the basics. What IS a vampire?
Traditionally, vampires are defined as Ghouls that drink the blood of persons asleep. Of course, for some vampires, this definition still applies. However, they are far more complicated and complex and confusing than those eight words could cover.
For this story, not all vampires are alive. To understand this, these are the defining points of life, as presented by Wikipedia:
1. Homeostasis, or regulation of internal environment to maintain a constant state.
2. Organization, or being composed of one or more cells.
3. Metabolism, or, in short, consumption of energy.
4. Growth, as in physical change.
5. Adaptation, or changing over a period of time to adjust to the environment.
6. Response to stimuli, which means reacting to something that happens (such as leaves growing toward the sun, or the senses of higher animals)
7. Reproduction, or the ability to produce new organisms.
Under those rules, certain kinds of vampires are not alive. Lower vampires, for instance, cannot reproduce in any way, shape, or form. Certain vampires do not ever grow--even their skin and nails stop, and those unlucky few eventually decay away. And some never adjust to their environment.
I will get into the classes of vampires later.
However, not all vampires are 100% dead, either. Again, Im using good ol Wikipedia to help me out here:
Death is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define living organisms.
Clinical death refers to the cessation of blood circulation and breathing.
Some vampires still fit under the rules of life. There is also the problem with the word permanent--most vampiric hearts beat in certain situations (Ill get to that later), and they only breathe when they need to speak aloud, as air needs to be pushed past/through the vocal cords for speech, or out of habit or wanting to appear human.
Thus, we are left with only one definition: Undead, which is a state between life and death. While not the best term, it is the most accurate I have come across, so it is the term I shall use.
So far we have gathered that vampires are undead, which is basic. But, you can be undead without being a vampire--ghouls, zombies, and their ilk are examples. What separates vampires from other undead creatures are several factors, which include, but are not limited to:
> Coherent thought (most other undead do not have all of their metal faculties)
> Increased abilities (some, but not all, undead do not gain special abilities upon becoming undead other than their undead-ness)
> Cessation of decay (most vampires do not decay, but most other undead do)
Next, we move on to the most agreed-upon, universal fact: Vampires drink the blood, or somehow otherwise consume the life energies, of the living. However, this alone cannot be a defining factor. If it were, then certain types of ghosts would be considered vampires, as would kappas (Japanese water goblins).
So, why do vampires drink blood? The idea is that blood, while a very poor nutritional source, is rich in life energy. While not all vampires drink blood, they still need this life energy to sustain themselves. You see, because they are not alive, their body does not produce this energy anymore. Life energy is created by a living soul, and while vampires still have their souls (contrary to popular belief of the humans in Sanguine) [as well as numerous other cultures], the soul is bound to a dead body, therefore making the soul itself undead. If a vampire did not feed regularly, they would wither away into a corpse, and eventually the soul would leave the rotted, useless body, thus causing true death. This will be covered in a later part of the guide.
So, now we know that vampires are undead beings that consume life energy. This is the one true definition that fits ALL vampires, no matter what.
Part Two: Classifications of Vampires
While each and every vampire, just like each and every human, is unique, it is widely recognized that there are five general families of vampires and seven ranks or classes of vampires within each family. Also note that there are exceptions to every case, and that these are just generalizations that apply to the majority.
Also, a note about their description. When I say pale, I mean they look like they either A) don't get much sun, B) like all the blood has been drained from them, C) dead, or D) a combination of the above. Not all vampires are paper-white. It all depends on there they were born (as a human) and what their parents looked like. So, if both parents had dark skin, they would have dark skin--they'd just be paler as a vampire. This is kind of an obvious statement, but I thought I should cover it, in light of someone pointing out that they didn't know if all vampires were "white" or not, as that's the way they're shown most times (this was on a forum about vampires).
Part 2.A: The families of Vampire
A vampire belongs to a family either through being 'born' into it or being turned by a member of the family (or by someone else who was turned by a member of the family, and so on). Usually, direct descendants of a family's Progenitor are extremely rare, and they are regarded as a kind of vampiric royalty (prices or princesses, dukes and duchesses for their children, etc.)
The five families are:
>>>Jiang Shi
1. Nosferatu: These vampires are the lowest of the low. They are animalistic and rely on their instincts for survival. They must feed nightly and almost always kill their victims. As they mostly feed on animals, they never adapted the beauty of other vampires, and are therefore hideously ugly. Their familiar is that of the rat, the king of vermin, and they adapted many features of rats--the large incisors, the matted fur, the fact the usually creep on all fours, and the fact they carry many diseases. The Progenitor of this family, Nosferatu (Count Orlock to some), is still very humanlike, and has all of his mental faculties
But hes still rat-like and ugly. He is also the only one who is able to create other Nosferatu vampires via the blood-sharing method, and only high-ranked Nosferatus can create them through the conventional means (breeding). Needless to say, you wont find one among humans very often, as they are far too easily spotted. Their homeland is the dark woods of the world, especially Europe and North America. They are not very well organized, and tend to be solitary creatures. If they do live in a group, it would be a small family unit, led by the oldest and/or most powerful one.
2. Jiang Shi: Asian vampires that are thought to be evolved zombies. Unlike every other form of vampire, Jiang Shis cannot reproduce on their own in any way, shape, or form. This is because Jiang Shis are created when someones soul didnt leave their body properly, through improper death (murder, suicide) or because they just wanted to cause trouble. Some are also created when the soul is forced back into the body after death by nether magic, or the magic concerning death and the deceased. They do not drink blood, but instead absorb life energy through the wounds they create with their sharp claws (which are on hands that are forever outstretched, stuck in rigor mortis). While more humanlike than Nosferatus, one would have to be a moron to mistake them as human--aside from the fact that some of them decay (rot, bloat, etc.) and they are stiff, they move in a peculiar manner
By hopping. Their familiar is that of the first vampire, the mosquito. They can be controlled if one places a talisman on their forehead, which also renders them mortal (no stiffness, no special powers). Their Progenitor is unknown, but currently the most powerful Jiang Shi is a girl that lost her name. She does not have the stiffness and usually does not hop, but is still rendered useless when a talisman is placed on her forehead. Their homeland is the crypts and tombs of Asia. They are not social at all, and will usually be either alone or with one other Jiang Shi (their death-mate), but, if they do organize, they are a force to be reckoned with, for in large groups they function like a hive mind--many beings, one train of thought, one goal. (and, since most Jiang Shi value their individualism, this is the reason they arent very social). They typically feed as often as they can, but as they avoid humanity and most other life forms, this isnt very often. They kill the animals they feed on, but rarely do much harm to the humans, as the draining of life energy is rarely fatal. However, their claws are not very clean, and thus many of their victims will get gravely ill, perhaps even die, from strange infections.
3. Dracul: The classic vampire. This family is usually what you picture when you say vampire [unless the only vampire media youve seen is Twilight related, in which case you deserve my pity]. They are extremely beautiful, a handy adaptation considering their main prey animals are humans. If one is not hypnotized by their gaze, one will quickly realize that they do not look fully human. Their eyes are brightly colored, and can be seen clearly in the deepest of darkness. They are usually taller than the average human, and thinner too. They are nocturnal creatures, and almost always wear cloaks, hats, sunglasses, and all other manner of disguises to cover up their non-human beauty
Unless, of course, they are hunting. Once they have their prey in their grasp, however, they reveal themselves as the monsters they really are--lengthened canines and fingernails, slit pupils set within glowing eyes, dual-vocal-rod voices, and a deep bloodlust. Lower level vampires of this family cannot reproduce through the sharing-blood method, but all but the lowest rank can through breeding. Their familiar is that of a wolf, the lord of the night. The Progenitor is Count Vlad Dracula, considered the king of vampires, and with good reason--this family is the largest of vampire families. Their homeland is the dark alleyways Europe, although they have spread to just about everywhere
To give you an idea, for every twenty humans in a city, you can almost guarantee there is at least one Dracul vampire, possibly up to five in the bigger, darker cities like London and Prague. They are highly intelligent, but still use their vampiric instincts quite often. They also tend to organize; the odds that the city vampires dont know where their brethren are located are close to nil. They can go for days, even weeks, without feeding, but the longer they go without feeding, the more monstrous-looking they get. Those that feed less often usually kill their victims, draining them dry so they can go longer between feedings, while the ones that feed more often usually do not, as they drink smaller portions.
4. Baptiste: They go by many names--neodrinkers, modern vampires, daywalkers--but this is their true name. They are the most humanlike of all the vampire families, right down to trying to keep a diurnal schedule like most humans. They, like Dracul vampires, are hauntingly beautiful, with bright eyes, pale skin and slender frames. They do their best to fit in with humans, sometimes even going so far as to enroll in schools--if they look like children or teenagers--to avoid suspicion (Hey, why isnt that kid in school?). Because the openly socialize with humans, they know their customs, behavior, and mannerisms better than the other families and are harder to spot as a nonhuman because they have become so good at mimicking them. The only place this is not true is in France, their old homeland, which they were driven from hundreds of years ago; indeed, a Baptiste vampire would have to be suicidal if they were thinking of going to France. Other than that, they are fairly widespread, and tend to live where the humans do, with most of them living in big cities such as London, New York, Tokyo, and the like. They are not as numerous as the Dracul (thanks to the incident that drove them from France), but they still make their presence known. Other vampire families tend to either respect them (for getting along with humans and other humanlike species so easily) or despise them (for being kiss-asses or pussies). They rarely kill their victims, and most of the time the death will not be intentional. They are also highly organized, even forming clubs and running businesses to help one another out. When in bloodlust, they look like Dracul vampires--slit pupils, glowing eyes, lengthened canines and nails, etc.--with the only difference being that their eyes change colors instead of just getting brighter. Their familiar is that of a bat, the most well-known vampire. Their Progenitor, Laurent Baptiste II, was killed in the same incident that drove them from France, but he left a family line. Their leader is Laurent Baptiste IV, the grandson of the Progenitor, but he is old and weak. He had a bastard child with a Slavic vampiress (she experienced 'true death' after giving birth but before they became 'death-mates'), but it is questionable whether this son is leadership material, so all the Baptiste vampires are waiting with bated breath...
5. Others: This category covers mixes of the families (half-Dracul, half-Baptiste is fairly common) as well as other half-vampires. Take note--half-human, half vampires DO NOT naturally exist, and can only be created through freak science (taking a human and modifying its genetic code to that of a vampire, or vice versa), and even then, that half-breed would have many, MANY problems--most of the weaknesses and nearly none of the strengths, plus additional issues from having modified DNA. How this works, and why other half-vampire breeds can exist while this one cant, will be covered later.
About the name 'Dhampir': Instead of being the traditional sense of them being born to human mothers from vampire fathers, this name now applies to the scientifically-created monsters. People did try to create them through natural means, but all the children that resulted were a) either fully human or fully vampiric, b) stillborn, or c) experience 'true death' shortly after birth.
Part 2.B: The ranks of Vampire
Not all vampires are equal, even if theyre part of the same family. There are seven levels or growth, or ranks or vampire, which is a classification of their relative strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. Vampires can, and in fact often do, advance through these ranks; they are not simply born Masters. Some, however, never advance: they may remain a Newdied/Newly Turned forever, or never advance passed Vampire.
There are some weaknesses that all vampires share, such as the methods used to inflict true death upon them, but those will be covered in the section about true death.
There are also common strengths, but they will be explained in the section about Dark Gifts.
The seven ranks are:
>> Newdied/Newly Turned
>> Teething
>> Greenhorn
>> Vampire
>> Strong Vampire
>> Premaster
>> Master
1. Newdied/Newly Turned: This type of vampire was either recently born (but since they are undead, they say newdied instead of newborn), or was just turned into a vampire through blood-sharing. These are, in a word, pitiful. Strong sunlight can kill them, and if they survive theyd be severely burned. Holy water is fatal if ingested at this stage, and will cause wounds akin to strong acid on flesh. They shrink from holy objects (they are, after all, damned for not following the natural law of death), and are repulsed by garlic, roses, lilies, and any other plant that is or was considered holy. If they attempt to cross running water, they will be repelled and unable to approach at all. They are easily manipulated, especially by other, stronger vampires. Their only gifts are the abilities to shape-shift into their familiars to escape danger, and a mental connection to their parents/Dark Master (the one who turned them).
2. Teething: They are just getting used to being vampires. They are clumsy with their powers, often causing more harm to themselves than their prey. Sunlight is no longer fatal, but it hurts like hell. Holy water is still fatal if ingested, and still causes severe wounds to their skin. Holy objects now merely irk them, and garlic is only repulsive because they have enhanced senses. They are still easy to control, only now they are aware that they are being manipulated. They can cross running water only if they are asleep, and even then will be in pain the entire time, and severely ill when they wake up.
3. Greenhorn: They are slightly stronger then Teethings, but are still, as Masters call them, Newbs or Rookies. They are getting the hang of their Gifts, but still make silly mistakes. Sunlight gives them sunburn, but nothing intolerable. Holy water hurts badly, but is no longer fatal unless they are thrown into a pool of it and left to dissolve. They are willful and prone to disobey their parents/Dark Master. They have the same crossing-water problem as Teethings.
4. Vampire: This is usually when they sever their ties from their Dark Masters, or leave the home of their parents. They are now able to take care of themselves. They can use their Gifts effectively, and are now difficult to manipulate unless it is a Master doing so. This is also the skill level that it is recommended vampires achieve before looking for a death-mate, their version of a spouse or life-partner. They can now cross running water while conscious, but will be ill the entire time. They can communicate effectively with their familiars. Holy water still acts like acid, but is now merely painful.
5. Strong Vampire: As the name implies, they are strong vampires. Even Masters have trouble manipulating them now. Many of the weaknesses are gone (holy objects and plants), and they are discovering that they have different Dark Gifts to play with besides their staples. They can now communicate with, and even manipulate, their familiars with ease. Holy water has become a kind of irritant, itching more than hurting, but still annoying.
6. Premaster: They have entered training to become Masters. They often seclude themselves so they can train without interruption, so not much is known of their powers other than they must be somewhere between Strong Vampire and Master.
7. Master: As their name implies, they have mastered their Dark Gifts and are thus unimaginably powerful. They have all the strengths of vampires. However, to counter this, it seems they are cursed with what most consider the silliest of weaknesses: the crossing-threshold restriction, which means they have to be invited into any building that isnt obviously abandoned or public property; Jiang Shis of this rank are also afflicted with the counting-obsession restriction, meaning that if they see large amounts of small objects, they have an irresistible urge to stop and count them (such as grains of rice thrown into their path.); there is also the double-edged sword of empathy, the ability to feel the emotions of others and to make others feel their emotions. They have also mastered the ability to change into mist, but they are loathe to use it, as a strong breeze would separate them and cause them to drift apart, making it nearly impossible to re-gather themselves. They feel slightly seasick when crossing running water. Many wear crucifixes or rosaries as a kind of slap in the face to those who still think they are effected by such things. They can manipulate the lower-level vampires and their familiars.
And thats the ranks in a nutshell.
As stated before, these are all generalizations that apply to the majority. There are exceptions to everything, but those exceptions will be few and far between. Also, a note about the kill-rate of certain families: remember that there are psychos in every human family. The same is true of vampires. Some will always kill, others will never kill. Remember, this is the majority, not all.
Have I repeated myself enough for it to sink in?
Moving on.
Part Three: The Dark Gifts of Vampires
'The Dark Gifts' is the name given by vampires to their special abilities. Not all vampires have all Gifts, and there are some Gifts that ARE shared by all vampires. A general rule of thumb is "The higher rank the vampire, the more Gifts it will have, and the better it will be at those Gifts". It's also safe to say that the Progenitors of the 'families'--and their descendants--have most, if not all, of the Dark Gifts.
I will not go into every little detail here, nor will I cover every possible variation of a Gift. This is simply a list, to give you a general idea. I will put notations where I find them necessary.
Immortality - Well, yes, technically they can be forced to experience 'true death'. But they won't die of old age or illness. If they do get very, very old, though, their sense begin to fail them, and they become much easier to kill. This is sheared by all vampires that are lucky enough to not decay.
Heightened senses - Also a gift common to all. Better night-vision, sensitive hearing, acute sense of smell, strong taste buds, and a more responsive sense of touch.They even appear to have more, unknown senses.
Dark Sight - Their name for their ability to see things as if watching a slow-motion movie. Also a kind of thermal-vision, where they see other creatures as heat and beating hearts, if applicable. Not unlimited--can only be used for short bursts at a time. Also, silver is nearly invisible to them in this form.
Empathy - Explained in the Master description.
Some Psychic Abilities - Telepathy between other vampires and their familiars, and sometimes with non-vampires. Weak precognitive abilities. Some have a form of tele/psychokinesis. Nearly all have a kind of ESP that allows them to obtain information about their surroundings without using sight, smell, taste, hearing, or touch.
Familiars - They have an affinity with certain creatures, which varies by 'family'.
Shape-Shifting - They can change into their familiar (or groups of their familiars--such as several bats, a cloud of mosquitoes, a pack of wolves, or a pack of rats--in the case of the Masters and Progenitors of each family) and/or a cloud of mist.
Sangrekinesis - A Gift that only otherwise very weak, genetically deficient vampires posses. This gives them the ability to control, shape, or otherwise manipulate their own blood.
Increased Physical Abilities - Speed and strength are greater than the average humanoid.
Fangs and Claws - Canines lengthen to fangs, nails lengthen to claws.
Some Control Over Space/Time - The more powerful vampires can walk on walls and ceilings, and the most powerful ones can slightly alter reality.
Control of Shadows - Can manipulate light and darkness.
Hypnotism - A single gaze can bend lower or less powerful creatures to their will.
Vampiric Instincts - They have animal instincts that humans lost long ago.
Fast Healing - They heal their wounds much quicker than other humanoids.
Wisdom - The older vampires have had a long time to gather knowledge and experiences.
Language - Vampires know Commonspeak (as nearly everything capable of speaking does), and most also know Latin. This is because the Church chose Latin for their spells and prayers. If the Church had picked Esperanto as their holy language, guess what language vampires would know? It is a sort of double-purpose: mockery and self-preservation. Not only does it laugh int he face of the Church, it also allows vampires to know what spell is being cast on them, and thus how to counter it/whether to run away. Vampires are also the most 'politically active' of the nonhumans, and that's why Latin has become the kind of international language of most nonhumans. Some also know Elvish, as it is one of those ancient languages only a select few speak today, and they will thus use it as code. Vampires are also, of course, fluent in the language they were raised in.

Welcome to the website for Assert, the Angelman Syndrome Support Education & Research Trust. We are a UK based charity whose primary aims are:
Support – supporting families and carers of people with Angelman Syndrome. Also providing support to professionals who meet AS individuals, even though they may meet very few individuals with Angelman Syndrome in their professional career.
Education – providing education and raising awareness of this rare neurological condition and the issues that surround it. As with many such conditions, Angelman Syndrome is not just about a simple diagnosis, but requires parents and carers to adapt as situations change and the individual grows older. We aim to provide information and advice for all ages, drawing on the vast knowledge of the trustees and our experts panel, some of whom are world renowned experts in Angelman Syndrome.
Research – Historically we have assisted many organisations and individuals in carrying out research into Angelman Syndrome and its many related areas. Much of this research has already provided great benefit to families and carers around the world. Today, we are founder members of the European Angelman Syndrome Alliance – a cross border research initiative that is allowing smaller groups to pool resources for the benefit of all. Globally, there is much interest in the genetics of Angelman Syndrome and we believe that this co-operational approach for the benefit of all is the way forward.
The aim of this website is to be a source of information for you, opening the doors on the world of Angelman Syndrome. There is a wide variety of information on these pages and much of it will be regularly updated so do check back regularly.
If you would like to become a member of Assert please contact us either via email firstname.lastname@example.com or on our telephone support line: 0300 999 0102.
Gareth Edwards, the award winning British director and special effects artist is ASSERT's new patron.
Gareth, from Nuneaton, has first hand experience of Angelman Syndrome as his niece, Ella, has the condition. He has also seen the work that ASSERT does first hand having attended both central regional meetings and our national conference with his family in the past. His most notable release to date is the hugely successful film Godzilla (2014). He is also known for the award winning independent science fiction film 'Monsters' (2010). Gareth is currently working on a new project for Disney/Lucasfilm- set for a 2016 release.
ASSERT is very proud to be supporting the UK's only specialist Angelman Syndrome clinics. In conjunction with the NHS, we are holding 3 or 4 clinics each year for both adults and children with AS in Manchester.
The clinics are being held for those who have a clinical need to meet with the professionals. We see 3 or 4 families at each clinic, with each family having an hour for a full consultation with a Clinical Geneticist, Jill Clayton-Smith; a Paediatrician, Dr Dan Hindley; and a Psychologist, Eric Taylor. A Physiotherapist will also be available and we are hoping to have a Speech Therapist, Dietician and other professionals present on the day. A representative from ASSERT will also be attending for the day to discuss ways in which we can support families.
Every patient must be referred by their GP or other doctor sending a written referral to: Dr Jill Clayton-Smith, Genetic Medicine, 6th Floor St Mary's Hospital, Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9WL.
Communication, along with research, are the current hot topics in Angelman Syndrome. 2015 is going to be a busy year for both these fields. We have many things at the planning stage so please check back regularly for the latest news - or visit our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Our Golden Bond runners for the London Marathon 2015 have now been confirmed. Read more...
ASSERT have secured a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a days training with David Niemeijer,(CEO of AssistiveWare and creator of Proloquo2Go) and Jennifer Marden (VP of clinical development and SaLT) with minimal costs on Saturday 7th February 2015 at our conference hotel – Coventry Hilton. Advance booking is required as the day is limited in numbers and open to both members, non-members and professionals. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to find out more or read the Autumn newsletter.
Read her fascinating report in our Article Archive here...
ASSERT member Helen Brennan, from Chandler's Ford, Hampshire, was recently asked to leave a Harvester restaurant when her AS daughter Megan, 19, was deemed to be being too noisy by staff – although not, it seems, by neighbouring diners. As responsible parents of those with and without AS, most of us will spend a lot of time ensuring that our children do not unnecessarily disturb others in such circumstances but it seems in this case, that Megan was simply enjoying herself too much. The incident has raised a lot of criticism of the restaurant chain and has featured in many media reports. ASSERT contacted Harvester to offer our help in educating their teams. The offer was not accepted and so we have decided to contact each of their branches (200+), along with their head office, with a copy of our 'What is Angelman Syndrome?' leaflet. If it helps prevent one other family (dealing with any condition) from enduring the same experience as Helen, then it will have been worth it.
Helen said; 'Thank you very much for getting involved. My whole purpose in publicising it is to ensure proper training is put in place in order for our children to be understood better and for this never to happen to another family. Although this has been distressing and quite an upheaval to normal life, I am fully aware that it is an issue that needs to be addressed and for the amount of time I have taken to discuss this with radio and TV stations, I am hopeful that companies will take disability seriously and cater accordingly for different needs.'
We can only hope.
