Trust vampires to whip up a bit of mass hysteria. They were at it in the 1700s, sending Europe into a frenzy of alleged sightings and grizzly exhumations. This time around, the sightings – on TV, in films, on the cover of a 3-for-2 paperback – are real enough, but we know vampires are not. Yet somehow the craze has taken on global proportions and been heralded with glee by the media.
Viewing figures for steamy US TV series True Blood (pictured) and reams of internet silliness eulogising Robert Patterson – aka Ed Cullen, brooding hero of tweenage saga Twilight – confirm we are hooked. And, predictably, women are worst afflicted.
The best anecdotal evidence comes via an acquaintance, who recounted the tale of a friend who left her husband to look for someone "more like Ed Cullen". (How many guys with an eternity of sexual experience in a teen's body are there on Match.com?)
Extreme though it may be, this example illustrates the overwhelming seductiveness we are told distinguishes modern vampires from old-school portrayals of gothic spookiness or camp silliness. "Bela Lugosi they aren't," winked the New York Times recently – and it's right: this lot are much more disturbing.
The idea of the vampire traditionally attracted and repelled in equal measure, embodying an unsettling relationship between sex and violence. What is troubling now is the nonchalance with which themes of domination and submission have been assimilated into mainstream light entertainment for both kids and adults.
Attempts to explain our new proclivity are predictable – "in times of conflict or recession, we need escapism" etc. But neatly cordoning off fantasy from reality is a cop-out – what we watch or read says something about what is already on our minds (and if not, soon will be).
"In difficult periods, a little subversion is necessary," venture others. Fine, but what's subversive about virginal girls wanting to be ravished by tall, dark, handsome bad boys? You can give them fangs, set it in post-9/11 America and make smart points about persecuted minorities, but the narratives still turn on a fulcrum of good old-fashioned gender stereotypes.
The creator of True Blood, Alan Ball, unwittingly put his finger on the potential for serious misunderstandings in his crude analysis of the show's popularity: "Women love the romance and the love story, and men love the sex and violence." We're all watching the same thing, but we're taking away dangerously different ideas. Sex is a complicated domain at the best of times; all this vampire nonsense just adds to the confusion.

I had Computer Planet build a computer for my son who was does gaming as a hobby and complained that his computer was inadequate. They made exactly what he needed and they delivered it exactly on his birthday. The staff here is very knowledgeable and the prices are really reasonable for what you get. If you need a computer built to a certain specification, building your own computer is the way to go but you need a company that knows what they are doing and that will be able to fit your computer with everything that you need. Computer Planet is a company that will do that.

"This was a big step for our team," Shilkitus said. "We dug ourselves a pretty deep hole at the start of the match, then rallied, came together and found a way to pull out the win. We'd rather not have the issues we saw in the first two sets, but we showed we have the ability to overcome a deficit." -

Timberwolves win, Cavemen fall in football scrimmages
NEWARK — After a sluggish start, the Cedar Ridge Timberwolves outscored the Mountain View Yellowjackets during the timed portion of the football scrimmage and came away with a 12-7 victory Thursday.
"We were flat to begin with; just draggin' around, and I wasn't pleased about that," Cedar Ridge Coach Todd Lovell said. "Later, during the timed scrimmage, we came out and played better. I was very pleased with some of our kids that came in off the bench."
During the 15-play session, Mountain View scored once and Cedar Ridge failed to score. -
Former Vol coach hit hard by NCAA
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NCAA said it wanted to send a clear message by slapping Bruce Pearl with a 3-year show-cause penalty: Coaches are responsible for their programs.

Past goalkeepers take lead roles for Scot soccer
Are you ready for some fútbol?
A pair of former goalies are, and they will be leading the men's and women's soccer programs at Lyon College this season. Both teams are scheduled to play season-openers in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday.Women
Coach Ben Parman, who played goalie during his collegiate career, looked to beat the Scots last year when he was an assistant at Hendrix, but now the 25-year-old will be on the Lyon College sideline.
The team finished with a 12-4-1 overall record and 4-1-1 in conference last year. -
New talent provides depth, tough but good problem for Lyon v-ball
Settling on a starting lineup and a regular rotation of players will be a tough call for Lyon College's volleyball coach, and how the players' respond to that will also play a big role in how the team progresses, said their coach.
"With as big a freshman class as we have, and with the high skill level that they and our transfers have, our returning players have to understand that they're going to have to work very hard to keep their position, and if they do get passed by a freshman or a transfer, it's what's best for the team that counts," Lyon Coach Ray Green said. -
Football scrimmages set for tonight, Friday night
The Cave City Cavemen and Cedar Ridge Timberwolves are scheduled to host junior and senior high school preseason football scrimmages tonight, and then the Batesville Pioneers are to put a bow on the preliminaries Friday night in Pioneer Stadium.

Greetings, curious reader, to Malisha's journal, the only place where everything personal is stored. You are free to browse and learn more about her, whether that is your objective or not. All is welcome to look around.

February 9, 2015 // New month, new layout.
I feel the pressure. There's so much happening but I'm just drifting by without a care. I know I shouldn't procrastinate but that's just my nature to do so. At least I've been productive during this time. I have been doing my writing, which is pleasant. I had a major writing block for a few weeks so to finally finish some of the excerpts I started was quite refreshing.
There's a lot being due during this week of school. Getting my teeth pulled out in preparation for braces had not helped at all. Not to mention, I have to fulfill the requirements for a reward before the ceremony or else I won't be legible for it and one requirement in particular is giving me stress. I just wish I had kept better contact with the other people who could potentially help me.
So...there's nothing new added to the journal except for the book reviews. I will only review the first book in the series/trilogy but can make exceptions. Hope you enjoy them.
Dreamy Reality
Dark lovely evening
Moonlight streaks the air
I look up to relish a memory long forgotten
Forged by a daydream, made true by reality
Questioning the truth behind it
Knowing it can't be real
But it must be
Because it is now my reality.

About Malisha
I've been on Neopets since 2007. My sister and cousin helped me create my first account, and this is my side-turned-main. I waited six years before I could go on the Neoboards. There, I was introduced to all types of groups and people, learned about guilds and roleplay, and met different people who I would later call my friends. I grew up with Neopets so without it, I wouldn't have a place to be familiar with.
I am an Altador Cupper. My team is Shenkuu. On the Shenkuu SKoreboard, I am known as the Cookie Monster, and a residential scorekeeper. During the off-season, I live under a rock. During the season, I am playing my heart out.
I used to be a roleplayer. I used to roleplay mainly Warrior Cats, but I can also roleplay: Pokémon, gifted, or Hunger Games. I also used to write for The Neopian Times but because I never got accepted, I gave up.
I used to lead a guild called Habitarium Gifting Group. As the name implies, it was when we still had Habitarium. I unfortunately closed it in November 2014 when the game was taken down.
I am part of two guilds: Stories Told, a book guild with a writing twist, and Site Chat, a site-owners' guild. I am the owner of four sites: Ambidexterity, Diabolical Box, Route 10, and Unwound Clock. I am no longer interested in many prospects of Neopets so all I'm here for are my sites and guilds. That's all.
My real name is Sara. Malisha was the name of my friend at the time I created this account. I am seventeen years old. I am a twelfth grader. I am the youngest in my family.
I dream of becoming a writer. I have been dreaming since the fifth grade. My parents try discouraging me but I refuse to surrender. I enjoy writing supernatural, fantasy, and mystery. I detest romance, but will write it if necessary. My favorite writers at this point are: Marie Lu, Kendare Blake, Michael Grant, Kristin Cashore, Maggie Stiefvater, and Cassandra Clare.
I am the biggest bookworm you will ever meet. I only read young adult, however, so I have no love for the classics. I am immensely in love with: Anna Dressed in Blood and its sequel Girl of Nightmares, The Infernal Devices trilogy, Legend trilogy, Warriors series (all of them), Mara Dyer trilogy, Penryn & The End of the Days trilogy, The Raven Cycle series, and The Lunar Chronicles series.
I watch anime. My favorites: Ao no Exorcist, Log Horizon, Attack on Titan, Durarara!!, and K. The only manga I read are: Ao no Exorcist, Attack on Titan, and Black Butler.
I play video games. My favorites: Mario & Luigi, Pokémon, Professor Layton, Ace Attorney, Trauma Center/Team, Harvest Moon, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Zero Escape.
During my free time, I sing, do all of the above, and complain about life. I am a member of Scouts Canada so I do not mind getting wet or dirty. I swim, I skate, I am athletic but I have a minor case of asthma.
Here are the extra stuff that don't belong in any category. It will mostly consist of retired graphics and status request signs. Feel free to use the retired buttons. They all link back to their creators.
Book Reviews
Click on the cover of the book to read the review. I do my best to keep them spoiler-free so feel free to read them and make your own judgment. For more rants about books, check out my book blog.
The Archived by Victoria Schwab
The world building in this book was quite unique. There's a place called the Archive where the dead are stored like a library. Each of them are called a History. Sometimes, Histories can escape and so people known as Keepers have to bring them back to the Archive. Keepers also have the ability to read items to see the history in them to aid them in their search for the Histories. There are a lot more capitalized terms in the story but that's the basic gist of it.
Our heroine Mackenzie was chosen as her grandfather's replacement as a Keeper after he died. She and her family moved to a haunted hotel converted into an apartment to start a new life after her younger brother died the year before. She describes the struggles of keeping her two lives separate and dealing with grieving for her brother. The plot gets more complicated when she learns there's a part in the apartment's history that's missing completely. She investigates it and that's pretty much it.
There are other characters, yes. The charming Wesley who looks like a thug. The mysterious Owen who is sweet yet strange. Mackenzie's parents and their aim to move on with life. Other people who work for the Archive that have clearly defined roles. There aren't any flat characters here. I think I like Mackenzie and her grandfather Da the best, even though he's dead in the story.
What I found unique (annoying at first but touching later on) was the few passages describing a memory of Mackenzie's about Da. Either it was him explaining the Archive to her or being philosophical. The story is told in her perspective in the present tense.
Would I recommend this? Yes. It's a bit of a slow start. Not exactly predictable but the mystery is a good one. If you like ghosts, mysteries, light romance (thank gourd that it's only light), and action, check out this book.
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Another one of those books haunting my recommended list. I wasn't disappointed, just...I'm sorry. I probably said this enough times but I hate romance. When done right, it's beautiful. When done wrong, I end up skimming over the paragraphs of descriptions to avoid reading imagery I don't want to envision. I knew there was going to be a romance between our male and female protagonists here but I can't be that picky, right?
The basic gist of the plot: Aria is thrown out into the perilous outside world because of a crime she didn't commit. At the same time, Perry decides to leave his tribe because his nephew was captured and he really wants to k!ll his brother. The two of them meet and make a deal to work with each other.
What I enjoyed the most was the world building. The outside world is dangerous and so people built pods to enclose themselves to protect themselves from the elements. Because of their isolation, they relied on technology to do everything. Everything they imagine is fake. They had never seen the real sun or experienced a real fire.
Then you have Perry's world in the outside. People live in tribes and are nomadic in a way. Some of them also have a heightened Sense- night vision, heightened hearing, or an incredible sense of smell. Perry's lucky to have two.
Now, the romance. I really hated how Perry softened up over time. The more he realized he loved Aria, the less of an amazing person he became. Aria had her strong points too and actually became useful in the end but for majority of the time, she was the typical damsel in distress.
All the reviews say the next book is even better than this one so I'll keep an eye out for it. I'll recommend this to you if you like dystopia, romance (I don't think there's going to be another guy or girl involved), character development, and action. There's some.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
You know what I first thought this book was about? A group of boys who can turn into ravens. Yeah, no. Then I found it, picked it up, and immediately thought forbidden love, love triangle, and not interested.
Oh my gourd, I was so wrong. This book...I can't. The writing was beautiful. Like, I feel so bad right now because my own writing is crap compared to this. The plot is so simple yet the characters live their own lives. I can't. Give me a minute.
Okay. So, you have Blue, the only daughter in a family of psychics. During a yearly ghost watch, she sees her first ghost. This means she k!lled him and she was destined to k!ll her true love anyway so all she has to do is avoid meeting him. Easy, right?
Then you have Gansey. Gansey is the uber rich boy who throws his money around. He's "friends" with another rich boy Ronan and modest common boy Adam and quiet and mysterious Noah. They all attend the same private school and are dubbed the raven boys because ravens are their school's mascot. Gansey is investigating the town's ley line, which is something I still don't quite understand, but it's supernatural and ghostly, the two things I love. His investigation leads to Blue and she starts getting involved with the boys.
The plot only acted like a prompter for the characters to really show their true colors. Gansey is like the ringmaster, the leader, the wealthiest of them all. He has Ronan under his control and Adam is desperate not to fall under his authority whereas Noah is just neutral. Blue is headstrong and capable of holding her own, even though she doesn't understand just how her psychic power can stretch. Every character has a life of their own and a life we can all relate to. How they all connect, how they all relate, how the end is unraveled...gourd, it is so beautiful.
My favorite character is probably Ronan. Actually. He's a pain in the kass, yes, and he is the silver lining in the clouds, but he's there for his friends (or just Gansey, anyway). He has his problems but so do them all. Actually, I like all of them equally. But Ronan takes the cake.
I will definitely recommend this book. The plot is unique and strange. The characters are all so vibrant and alive. The writing, as I've said so many times, is beautiful. So beautiful. If you're into ghostly, paranormal stuff with some romance (not so much forbidden but there is that aspect to it) then you'll enjoy this.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
In a fantasy setting, there are people who have special powers known as the Grisha. Your heroine Alina saves her friend Mal's life by unleashing her Grisha power. Then she and Mal are separated and she starts crushing on the Darkling, a hundred year old Grisha who's the most powerful out of them all. Throw in a betrayal, an escape, a recapture, a rekindling of old love, a not-so-epic escape, and the conclusion that makes you want the next book.
Yeah, been there, done that by so many books. We know, being original is a difficult thing to do. So what makes this novel different from the rest? Well, Alina's uncovering of her Grisha power, for one. Yes, she didn't know she had it and it did not suddenly show up when her love was in danger. It's more than that. Next, the fact that there are modernized weapons in this setting and ancient magical powers aren't actually as important as you think. Then, there's the antagonist of the novel: the Shadow Fold. It's a stretch of land that separates the country into two. The Fold is deadly and dark. There are monsters that will eat you.
There is no human antagonist (until 3/4 of the novel in) and so Shadow and Bone is like most first novels nothing happens until 3/4 of the way there. Actually.
This is the part where I state my favorite character but honestly? None of them really stuck to me. Alina did, in some parts, but for most, she was okay. Bearable. Mal was...in between. The Darkling is...I can't swear here but he was a kass. So...yeah.
Did I like this novel? Yes. Will I keep reading? Probably. I want to see how the Fold gets defeated but I'm not dying to figure it out. I'll recommend this to you if you like fantasy, fantasy with people with special powers, romance, and a rebellious protagonist.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
This book had been haunting my recommended list for a long, long time, but I didn't pick it up until recently because of one thing: the protagonist was cyborg. I had no idea what that meant until after I read The Murder Complex. Then I figured it out. So I picked it up.
Cinder is pretty much a Cinderella story based in a futuristic society with advanced technology and a potential alien invasion from the Lunars who can control people. Cinder herself is a cyborg mechanic who is hated by her step-family (other than her younger step-sister) and she desires to go to the ball thrown by the Emperor. Or at least escape. One or the other.
I found the writing quite slow up the point her step-sister Peony gets infected with the plague and Cinder's step-mother drafts her into being a test subject. Then things get interesting and I can't say anything or I'd spoil it.
Things didn't really start to pick up until 2/3 of the way. At that point, I couldn't stop reading. Then, when I finished, all I wanted was the second book.
I like Cinder. I really do. I like the cyborg part of her as well since it's an interesting twist on a protagonist, one I'm not very familiar with. Kai is also pretty charming (haha, you got that reference?) and I kind of feel bad for him for everything that happened. He's still young and yet he's got so much on his shoulders.
I didn't catch the Cinderella references since I'm not a fan of fairytales but the writing was excellent. I'll recommend it to you if you like fairytales (all the other books in the series are based off of fairytales), romance, science fiction, and plot twists. There are a good share of them.
White Cat by Holly Black
I was completely mind-blown when I found out Holly Black wrote the Spiderwick Chronicles. Anyway...
So, this book. It took me a while to finish it because of school and stuff but without school, it would've took me a while anyway because it was somewhat slow-paced. I really like books that hook you in immediately but I understand the need for a slow beginning because you get hooked in when the real conflict starts.
Not so much here.
Our protagonist here is Cassel. He has a sleepwalking problem and the first chapter starts off with him on the roof of his dorm. Great way to introduce him.
He gets kicked out because of his sleepwalking problem and we get introduced to his shady brothers and awesome granddad (I think that). The real plot revolves around a white cat in his dreams that cause him to sleepwalk. It turns out the cat is connected to so many other things and you get a story based on that.
What made this story unique is the "magic" used. Cassel (and most of the cast) are from worker families, meaning they have "magic" in their hands- they can give you luck, take away/give/replace memories, alter your emotions, transform you, or k!ll you. It's not really a super power or a psychic gift, just a touch of "magic".
I don't think this novel is bad but it was hard for me to get through. I like the "magic" aspect of the novel and that's the foremost reason why I'll keep with this trilogy. If you like supernatural, mystery, crime, and really like that there's not a lot of romance in this, I'll recommend it to you.
The Razorland Trilogy (Enclave, Outpost, Horde) by Ann Aguirre
Enclave had been haunting my recommendations for months so I picked it up at the library when I saw it. Did I enjoy it? Immensely. It is, unfortunately, a novel for fans of The Hunger Games because it's a dystopia, has plenty of bloodshed and violence, and oh, look, there's a love triangle!
I liked Deuce as a narrator and character. She's confident in her abilities, weak at the heart, and strong as a person. Fade's backstory was unique but there was one side of him that never surfaced and I wished the writer played with it a little more. His personality seemed like the typical attitude the lonely outsider would adopt but he does start opening it later on in the novel. There are more characters but I'll stick with these two.
The world this novel is set in is intriguing. It's definitely post-something, and the explanation behind it sounds very real and plausible to the real world. The characters' way of living was simple and old-fashioned, something that I love.
Plot-wise, I was hooked from beginning to end throughout the trilogy. There was plenty of action and downtime for you to keep your lunch down. (I didn't mind since I love reading scenes with action.) The ending was definitely...interesting. Not exactly a grand finale but it was a happy ending.
Finally, the romance. I hate romance but when done right, I would melt at the sappy parts. I could feel genuine emotion from the words exchanged between our two lovers and it made me smile a bit. Just a bit.
I would recommend this to those who love dystopia, a heroine who can fight, war and death, or if you didn't read The Hunger Games yet. Read this first. You won't regret it.
Possession by Elana Johnson
Oh, boy. I learned this book was similar to Matched by Ally Condie after I picked it up so I was skeptical right from the start. I had to speed through the second half of the novel to finish it and the conclusion was just...wow. Just...what.
What I didn't like was the relationship between Violet (I like calling her by her real name) and Jag. It felt so forced and unnatural. They were placed in the same prison cell. He was the typical mysterious bad boy who didn't come from where she did. He captivated her. He said it himself at one point: she only liked him because he gave her the promise of adventure. How that managed to turn into love is beyond me.
Next thing I didn't like was the inane amount of Capitalization. Greenie. Goodie. Baddie. Badlands. Director. There were just too many terms for me to comprehend.
I found this dystopia rather interesting but executed rather poorly. In this world, the Thinkers essentially control everyone and make them think what they should think, should do, etc. and the Badlands is where you're "free" at an extent. There's no one talking to you via the mind but you're still under the Thinkers' control.
The technology mentioned definitely reflects off of our current world where there's something for almost everything. In this dystopia, the tech is much more advanced but it isn't explained or described well.
Finally, I didn't like Violet's voice. While I do like snark in a first-person narrative, her snark didn't do it for me. I didn't like any of the characters. What I did like (but didn't shock me until I was rolling on the floor shell-shocked) were the few twists. The conclusion was weak and really out there.
I'd recommend this if you liked Matched (I didn't like that book either), dystopias, love triangles, or romance in general.
The Murder Complex by Lindsay C.
* I am unable to type the full last name because of the filters but you should be able to find it easily.
I first heard of this book in January of 2014. I didn't get it from the library until December 2014. My reading timeline for this book went like this:
Beginning: Dystopia. Death. Murder. Got it. But why is Meadow's name Meadow? Do they even know what a meadow is?
Rising Action: Zephyr is pretty interesting. I think I'd like him.
Climax: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING. JUST WHAT.
Falling Action: Darn, man.
Conclusion: Do I really have to wait until April for the next book. Really.
Without spoiling too much, The Murder Complex is a dystopia where the death rate is higher than the mortality rate. Meadow, our female protagonist, is trained to survive. Zephyr, our male protagonist, is an orphan who makes a living by cleaning up dead bodies. The main conflict is Meadow wants to figure out why her mother was murdered. How did Zephyr get into the picture? Meadow saved his life and he has the yearning to find her. Typical love-at-first-sight sort of reason in novels these days. Things get interesting, however, when you reach the climax because- like most dystopias- you learn the reason why Meadow's society is it is now, and you learn more about Zephyr's past.
What I didn't like about this novel: I didn't like the alternating POVs between Meadow and Zephyr. Their tones were slightly distinguishable but it reminded me of a lot of other novels that do this.
I didn't have too much problem with this novel since it encapsulates everything that I love reading. I will definitely recommend it.
Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton
I'm on the fence with this book. I liked the writing and a few of the characters, but what doesn't sit well with me is the romance. This novel could've took the turn where this wouldn't be a forbidden love. It is. I've read too many and most of them are like "forget everything, we're getting together" while a few try to stay away but end up falling in love hopelessly again and some reveal outcomes behind the romance that says they can go ahead and be together.
The only reason I'd keep reading Angelfire are questions relating to the plot: Will Ellie or Will die? Will the Second War actually happen? I'm curious about the angelic part of the plot as well. Not at all about the romance.
Here I was, hoping this would be a book where the female protagonist will not fall for the boy whose name is in the synopsis. I was completely wrong.
I'd recommend this if you're into angels, fallen angels, romance (forbidden romance is a plus!) and teenagers overall. I'm not crazy to finish this trilogy, but if I see it at the library, I'll pick it up.
Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep
I...have mixed feelings about it. The heroine Gwen is weak, pathetic, and quirky (quite quirky). She makes a lot of judgments and stereotypes, but I suppose it's because she's the only bumpkin in a prestigious academy filled with warriors and descendants from myths. I didn't like how she kept calling herself "Gypsy" and not ever say why. Her "romance" with Logan Quinn seemed quite forced, and from a psychological standpoint, they're only attracted to each other because of their looks. Logan himself is one-dimensional. The only character who got any development was Daphne. I like her more than I like Gwen.
Plot-wise, it was good. I like the mystery behind the murder (except the results didn't bear any fruit) and we finally learn what Gwen is supposed to do. I like the mythological aspect the best. Everything else was rather bland.
Not to mention, Gwen could get somewhere with Logan in terms of romance if she wore gloves.
So, would I recommend it? Not really. Maybe to someone younger than me. The writing suited a middle school grader, but not a twelfth grader. I'm curious as to how Logan might accidentally k!ll her so I'll keep reading for now.
Malisha's Sites
I first discovered the site community a few months after my guild was founded in 2012. It was an adoption agency revamped into a writing site. I lost interest rather quickly and took a break. In spring 2013, I wished to request graphics for my guild but could not find any. I decided to open a site dedicated to listing open statuses.
Unwound Clock is first of the four. Opened in March 2013, UC aims to show accurate statuses of majority of the request sites in the site community. Its name originates from Prof. Layton and the Unwound Future.
Diabolical Box is second out of the four. Opened in July 2013, DB aims to provide entertainment and resources for writing as well as story requests. I gained inspiration from my love of writing and writing opening site stories for UC. Its name originates from Prof. Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Ambidexterity is third out of the four. Opened in January 2014, AB aims to provide untaken site names for those who wish to open a new site as well as links to resources to make the journey easier. This was going to be extra content for DB but then it became a new site entirely. Its name originates from Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.
Route 10 is last out of the four. Opened in July 2014, R10 aims to provide quick services to help fine-tune or improve your site. I had fantasized about reviewing sites but because of my biases, I would not make a good reviewer. I chose to offer site services instead. Its name originates from Pokémon.

Indium(III) chloride is the chemical compound with the formula InCl3. This colorless salt finds some use in organic synthesis as a Lewis acid. It is also the most available soluble derivative of indium.[1]
Synthesis and structure[edit]
Being a relatively electropositive metal, indium reacts quickly with chlorine to give the trichloride. Indium trichloride is very soluble and deliquescent.[2] A synthesis has been reported using an electrochemical cell in a mixed methanol-benzene solution.[3]
Like AlCl3 and TlCl3, InCl3 crystallizes as a layered structure consisting of close-packed chloride arrangement containing layers of octahedrally coordinated In(III) centers.[4] The motif is akin to that seen for YCl3.[5] In contrast, GaCl3 crystallizes as dimers containing Ga2Cl6.[5] Molten InCl3 conducts electricity,[4] whereas AlCl3 does not as it converts to the molecular dimer, Al2Cl6.[6]
InCl3 is a Lewis acid and forms complexes with donor ligands, L, InCl3L, InCl3L2, InCl3L3. For example with chloride ion it forms tetrahedral, InCl4−; trigonal bipyramidal, InCl52− and octahedral InCl63−.[4]
In diethyl ether solution InCl3 reacts with lithium hydride, LiH, to form LiInH4, an unstable compound decomposing below 0 °C,[7] which is reacted "in situ" in organic synthesis as a reducing agent[8] and to prepare tertiary amine and phosphine complexes of InH3.[9]
Trimethylindium, InMe3 can be produced by reacting InCl3 in diethyl ether solution either with the grignard reagent, MeMgI, or methyllithium, LiMe. Triethylindium can be prepared in a similar fashion but with the grignard reagent, EtMgBr.[10]
- InCl3 + 3LiMe → Me3In.OEt2 + 3LiCl
- InCl3 + 3MeMgI → Me3In.OEt2 + 3MgClI
- InCl3 + 3EtMgBr → Et3In.OEt2 + 3MgBr2
- the ether is removed at 25 °C in vacuo
InCl3 reacts with indium metal at high temperature to form lower valent indium chlorides, In5Cl9, In2Cl3 and InCl.[4]
Catalyst in chemistry[edit]
Indium chloride is a Lewis acid catalyst in organic reactions such as Friedel-Crafts acylations and Diels-Alder reactions. As an example of the latter[11] The reaction proceeds at room temperature, with 1 mole% catalyst loading in an acetonitrile-water solvent mixture. The first step is a Knoevenagel condensation between the barbituric acid and the aldehyde, the second step is a reverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction.
which is a multicomponent reaction of N,N'-dimethyl-barbituric acid, benzaldehyde and ethyl vinyl ether. With catalyst the reported chemical yield is 90% and the percentage trans isomer is 70%. Without the catalyst added the yield drops to 65% with 50% trans product.

Amazon's Rumored Tablets to Offer Free Streaming Video Service?
There is a whisper going around that Amazon plans on offering up its streaming video service for free to early adopters of their yet-to-be announced tablets (Coyote/Hollywood). This would be the same service Amazon has offered its Prime customers which includes unlimited access to over 5,000 instant movies and videos. None of this has been confirmed but it definitely sounds like something Amazon would do. Question is, does it even matter?
Lately it seems like Amazon is trying to "re-invent" things that no one wants "re-invented." First they decided to launch their own "App Store" in competition with the Android Market, yet I haven't encountered anyone who uses it for anything other than the "Free App of the Day." Then they tried to jump ahead of Google by releasing Amazon Cloud Player. Now they're trying to jump into an already saturated tablet market and hoping to gain market share by offering a service that most tablet users will most likely already have?
I'll say this, Amazon sure is persistent, and they seem to have plenty of cash flow to follow through with their commitments. I'm not quite sure how they plan on marketing these rumored tablets of theirs but let's hope they come up with something better than this free streaming video service. What's next, "Amazon Games," "Amazon Wallet," "Amazon Operating System?" Either way, this rumor is sure to feed the Android proponents who boast "more choices" while also feeding the "more fragmentation" populous. What do you guys think? Is this offer enough to sway you towards an Amazon tablet or do you rely on more important factors such as price, hardware, etc.? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below or over on our Facebook Wall.

Amazon is a great company and I for one am very interested to see what kind of tablet device they come up with and what kind of special offers they give their 'Prime' customers. With all of that content they have access to (music, e-books, magazines, newspapers, movies, etc.) they just might have a compelling offering to the market. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. I wish them the best and much success!! We need Amazon to keep Google on their toes. In the end it is the consumer who wins.
If the specs look good and the price is right I'll get one )regardless of any gimmick like this) but they're going to have to do a lot to get me away from my Transformer.
Totally disagree with the tone here. I use, and have used, Amazon Video-on-Demand (via Roku box) and Amazon MP3 for years. Bringing these to Android is a big plus for me. You imply that Amazon is inventing these services for its tablets, but they've been around for a long time.
Amazon Prime videos work just fine on my Xoom.

Being a Commission Artist part 1I often get messages from other artists who are looking into doing commission work themselves although they're not sure where to start. I don't claim to be an expert in being a commission artist, although I have been accepting commissions since 2000, so I do have a bit of experience under my belt.

Part One: Making sure you're ready to take on commission work.
We've heard all sorts of horror stories regarding commissioning artists on the net, both from the commissioner and the commissionee's side. Here we'll tackle how to look at yourself to make sure that you do NOT end up being the villain in those horror stories.
Yes, the extra cash is tempting. You're gonna do what you like to do and get paid for it! Simple, right? Wrong! You will find that as a commission artist, there will
Morrowind FeatureMorrowind Feature3 years ago in Art Features More Like This
The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind is my favourite game of all time, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I've been planning for awhile to put together a game-inspired feature; unfortunately, it is very hard to find genuine fan art since most Morrowind-related deviations on dA are game screenshots (or manipulations thereof), and I found only a limited number of devs I could use.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Morrowind is an open-ended first-person RPG with an expansive and detailed world, released in 2002. The central plot concerns the deity Dagoth Ur, housed within the volcanic Red Mountain, who seeks to gain power and break Morrowind free from Imperial reign. In addition to the extensive main quest, there are detailed discursive quests for a variety of factions, including various guilds, religious organizations, and aristocratic houses.

When I first wrote that journal, I was in doubt whether to post it or not. Because, even though many artists experience it at least once in their career, having an artblock seems to be kind of a taboo in the art world. It's like admitting failure. Nobody ever likes to do that. I don't like it either. But keeping this kind of thing a secret, felt a bit dishonest to me. I thought to myself; "Would I dislike an artist I admire just because he/she had an artblock?" and the answer was "no". I would probably appreciate it if a public person admitted something like that, because it would make them seem a lot more human.

If presented with an issue regarding copyright, I will more than happy to remove and/or delete these stories. Some characters are under the age of 18 as well as actresses portraying them on the show. These characters will not and have not been involved in any kind of sexuality. This is a fictional recreation of events somewhere in A Clash of Kings (or season 2).

Setting good goals is useful to not just artists but anyone who wants to achieve something.
When I graduated college and started my career, my goals were unfocused. Basically, I just wanted to get a job doing what I love, which in my case is of course drawing and painting. That was my whole goal. I didn't aim for anything more than that, and as a result, my career went nowhere.
Then, after reflecting on my career and examining the careers of people I admired (again, not just artists), I developed a master plan for my success that basically boiled down to four things:
1. Recognize the importance of setting goals.
Let's say you have the extraordinary ability to kick a ball farther and more accurately than anyone you know. As a result, you want to become a soccer player. But then when you're on the soccer pitch and the ball comes to you, you just kick it as hard as you can in what

Sure, things like this "exist", and they always will in some capacity, but... they shouldn't be allowed to be as mainstream as they are.

Robin Williams Passes Away
Robin Williams passes away today at the relatively young age of 63. The earliest reports so far seem to confirm that it was a suicide by asphyxiation. He had been battling severe depression for quite some time now, and it seems that it ultimately did him in. Robin Williams was one of the first actors who's career I began to follow as a kid, owing largely to his involvement in Disney's Aladdin as the Genie.
I remember a story Stephen Spielberg told about when he was filming Schindler's List. While over in Germany, Robin Williams would call Stephen up every night to tell him a joke because the story of Schindler's List was so depressing and difficult to film Stephen needed the pick-me-ups.
It's incredibly sad that Robin ultimately took his own life lik

The analysis from Plante Moran identified questionable program expenses with the paid internship program, but noted the program has yet to be activated during the current administration. Civic Education Could Be Required In All Illinois Schools By Brittanie Brooks • 20 hours ago kids.usa.gov Eighty-three percent of Illinois high schools already require some form of civic education. A measure approved by the Illinois House would require all schools to teach it. "Obviously, with Illinois' reputation of corruption in politics, I think we need to have an emphasis on responsible citizens and dealing with those issues," Representative Donald Moffitt, a Republican from Galesburg, said. Representative Deborah Conroy, a Democrat from Villa Park, says teaching students about government is imperative to building future leaders.

Community members are invited to Wednesday morning at Ottawa City Hall. Another meeting takes place that evening at KSB Hospital in Dixon. Will Cameras Mean Safer Nursing Homes? By Sean Crawford • 21 hours ago WUIS Illinois could join a handful of states that allow cameras to be installed in the rooms of nursing home residents. Supporters say it would give families peace of mind to have electronic monitoring of the care their loved ones receive. But there are also concerns, especially when it comes to privacy. "Nursing homes, a lot of people tend to forget ... that is their home," Hinsdale Republican Representative Patti Bellock said. Supporters say the cameras would only be installed when the resident or family agrees. They would also have to cover the cost.
