Naked protestors display ire in John Boehner's office. They were upset about "potential spending cuts in HIV programs." By the time Capitol Police arrived, the naked men were gone and only three naked women were left to arrest. The men probably decamped for Barney Frank's office hoping for a more sympathetic audience.

I have said this before & I'll say it again. If there ever is a "cure" for HIV/AIDS, it will come from a greedy, profit driven corporation that will want to make zillions of dollars. It will never come from a gov't agency like CDC. NEVER. These idiots are too damn dumb to grasp that, & the fact that HIV/AIDS is 100% preventable. Don't engage in risky sexual behavior or using dirty needles is not exactly that hard to do, but then again, gays with HIV/AIDS have their asses kissed by those pols who love using other people's money for their own political gain.

I get your point, but no they won't. Big Pharma has been too good at producing drugs that help stave off the effects of HIV/AIDS. Magic Johnson, anyone?

Congressman Boehner was out working on his tan and not available for comment. Remember, if taxes do go up and if spending is cut, the Republicans will get the blame, no matter who is actually responsible. Obama and the MSM are playing rope-a-dope with Boehner and his fellow clueless Republicans.

and isn't it Dems, namely those like Sandra Fluke, whose activism makes people think they can have sex at will, without consequences that see the trend of spread rise?
Just sayin'. If they didn't push free love and all that jazz, maybe AIDS wouldn't need so much funding…

"Bull" Connor (Democrat) was the Commissioner of Public Safety for the city of Birmingham, Alabama, during the American Civil Rights Movement. Connor infamously directed the use of fire hoses, and police attack dogs against peaceful demonstrators, including children.
Unfortunately, law enforcement has its hands tied theses days and can do very little to protesters today or this happens:
University of California, Davis Police Lt. John Pike uses pepper spray to move Occupy UC Davis protesters while blocking their exit from the school's quad Friday in Davis, Calif. Two University of California, Davis police officers involved in pepper spraying seated protesters were placed on administrative leave and later terminated.

To be honest, I'm torn about stuff like this, the gay community was ravaged by this disease in the 80′s. It surely was not a pleasant way to die. I'm good friends with a older gay couple in their 60′s who told me horror stories about losing so many friends when the disease first came about. My heart breaks for these people and their friends and loved ones.But at the same time, Jesus H Christ! We are over 30 years into this epidemic. We knew how to help prevent it by the time I was a pre -teen (I'm 39 now). Safer sex and not sharing needles are messages that have been around since at least 1985. If you live in America, only a true dullard doesn't know how not to get it. The media tells you constantly, schools tell you, Planned Parenthood and many bars and nightclubs (gay and straight) even give out free condoms. Many larger cities even have needle exchanges for those poor souls who might need them. How the FUCK are there people in their teens,20′s and especially 30′s still getting this disease? It's not like cancer or heart disease or other maladies you may get without doing anything to actively invite it into your life. In America (I'm making exceptions for rape victims, spouses who got it from an unfaithful partner/spouse, long term sufferers who survived the initial outbreak, etc) you HAVE to know how not to get it. Don't get me wrong, I have compassion for those who suffer with this disease, but the overwhelming majority of newer cases are caused by being irresponsible. Of course I would like to see this disease eradicated (as any deadly disease, I lost my Dad to cancer 6 years ago and would give anything to have him back), but for shit's sake you have to be responsible for yourself especially when this disease is so easy NOT to get! Forgive my rambling, but if I were to bring up this line of though in say, a gay bar, I'd probably be crucified. You can only educate folks so much, but at some point personal responsibility has to kick in.

Geoff, I'm in complete agreement with you on this.
About 20 years ago I lost my best friend to AIDS. He had been an IV drug user (cocaine) before I met him, and got it from a needle.
It is a horrible thing to watch an otherwise healthy, vibrant, person wither away from this.
In the last months of his life, his wife kept everyone away from him because he had gotten so bad. When she called me to tell me to come visit him before he dies, I rushed over and when I saw him, I broke down and cried, sobbing uncontrollably, fortunately, I left the room first so he didn't see me. I loved him like a brother, and was so shocked to see him in this condition, that I lost control of my composure. When I recovered, I went back in the room and held his hand and talked to him. He was so far gone he was unable to even talk. He looked like an Auschwitz victim, skin hanging off of bones, no muscle tone, nothing. He was pretty much unrecognizable. It is a horrible way to die, and as you said, almost completely preventable. There are now drugs that can keep a person alive and otherwise healthy, and I have seen reports of people living for many years with this disease, and I keep thinking how unfair it is that these drugs were not available for my friend. I think about him all the time and get angry about how he died.
Just keep safe and stay away from the radical idiots.- Geoff B November 28, 2012 at 2:07 pm

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. And even though it's an almost entirely preventable disease, I still wouldn't wish it on anyone. I just wish people would remember that even though with all the medical advancements over the years, it's still a dangerous disease. Even though it isn't necessarily a death sentence anymore, I don't get people who put themselves in a position to have to take medication every day for the rest of their lives.

According to some studies I read, the discovery of drug cocktails that prevent death for HIV-positive men has caused a return to wanton no-protection sex in the gay community. Maybe worse than it was before the AIDS epidemic started. Gays actually say there is negative stigma now to being HIV-positve – in other words, it's a bragging point in the gay community to be in Magic Johnson's position.

You're absolutely right! These studies you refer to are precisely the source of my frustration. Why anyone would think having a dangerous disease is a bragging point is beyond me. What a lot of these people don't realize, is while yes, due to the drug cocktails, HIV isn't the death sentence it once was, there are all sorts of bad side effects to these medicines. Also, there isn't just one strain of the virus, there are many and not using protection can allow these strains to mutate making these medications less effective. If this keeps up, someday soon we could be looking at an even worse epidemic than the origional one.

If anyone were to question this, all they would have to do is to take a look at how infections have become resistant to antibiotics.
I now have firsthand experience with how seriously doctors take it when you show up at the hospital with an infection. I was rushed in ahead of all the people who had been waiting in the ER when I arrived!
Almost any virus strain can become resistant to the treatment, why would you take such chances when there are simple precautions you can take? I just don't get it.

The Odin Summon (DS Remake)
Items Needed | Access to Baron Castle after Adult Rydia rejoins the party. |
Items to Find | Odin Summon. |
Map Reward(s) | N/A |
Enemies | Odin (boss). |
Suggested Level | An average level of sixty will go a long way towards winning this one. |
Acquiring the Odin summon is actually quite easy. It's a good side quest to undertake if and when you're waiting for the Kokkol Smithy to make you Excalibur. Head to the Overworld and go to Baron Castle. Enter the east wing of Baron castle and approach the tower you eventually come across outside. Once in this tower, go down the stairs to your left, and follow rightward along the pathway to another staircase leading downstairs. This will lead to a hidden throne room where the ghost of the King of Baron rests. He offers to fight you if you want to summon him.
Optional Boss. Odin |
As long as you fight Odin furiously, trying to take him out as quickly as humanly possible, he's not that hard of a battle. Let it last long enough to where he starts using his devastating Zantetsuken attack, however, and you're going to be in for a tough time no matter which level you approach him at (our party was in the late 50s and early 60s, just so you know). The best way to approach this battle is methodically. Have Rosa cast Slow on Odin immediately, and have Edge and Cecil attack each turn. Meanwhile, Rosa should on her next turn cast Protect on the entire party, and from there heal as needed (after all, Odin has hardcore physical attacks). As for Rydia, have her cast Leviathan. If everything goes well, by the time Odin lifts his sword-wielding arm (indicating that he's about to unleash Zantetsuken), he should be killed by the second Leviathan summon used by Rydia. Supplemented with physical attacks from Edge and Cecil each round, Odin should fall rather in a rather lackluster fashion, leaving the ability for Rydia to summon him behind.

pretty sure mine was standard t pipe
Yes, I did the drains last season. I changed the drain thru-hulls to 1" ports and all the lines (drain and fill) to 1". To drill out the 3/4" ports to 1", I put a cork in the hole so that the hole saw bit had something to bite on to; worked like a champ. Someone on the forums here suggested that, and it worked great. One note on the drain pumps. I am using the 1100 Rules from wakemakers, but I'm going to switch one of them to the T1200 for comparison. I feel like Rule is not pumping out very fast, and I'm only thinking that because the water doesn't shoot out very far from the boat when draining. Could just be that it's a 1" column of water so thus it doesn't go out as far, but I want to compare it to the T1200.
Jmvotto, that's perfect, thanks for the pics!
Dont bother switching. Ive done the flow testing on the Rule 1100 and the Attwood T1200 and the Rule is faster. Heres the just of the testing that I posted on another forum back on Sept. 2011.

I was able to finely get some time this weekend to do some flow comparisons amongst some of the common ballast pumps used.
In this test, I used an Attwood Tsunami T800, T1200 and a Rule 1100 All 3 are common live-well style Aerator pumps used for ballast installs.
I have been wanting to do this anyway, but it moved to the forefront this weekend when it was posted in another thread that the Rule pumps were always over rated, as there is no standard of measuring that is used. Well, doing some investigation, I fond two interesting things: 1) Rule does not list a standard of measurement used to rate their pumps (but that doesnt mean they are over rated). The next bit of info was the most interesting. I found that Rule is under the same parent company as Jabsco, ITT Flow Control, and that in the flow rating for the Jabsco, there to is no std of measurement listed. So, is it safe to say that the Jabsco Ballast Puppy too is over rated?????? Well, we will have to answer that question later, as I did not break out the only Puppy I have on hand and test it, but i will here at some point.
Here is how I laid the test out. I tried to make at as real-world as possible, so I set up a mock ballast setup.
I used a Fly High W713 v-drive sac rated @ 400 lbs
5 gal bucket fed by hose as water supply
deep-cycle battery with 2A trickle charge
5' fill hose from pump to top of sac
2' hose from vent on top of sac.
The water supply was lower then sac, typical of a ballast install, and the vent was higher then sac. Sac was drain dry between each test. The clock started as soon as the pump was turned on, and the clock was stopped as soon as I had a steady flow from the vent. Each pump was run 3 times to get an average. For the Rule and T1200, I used 1" hose and 1" fly High quick-connect fittings. For the T800, I used both 1" and 3/4" hose slid over the threads, as well as 3/4 hose on the supplied 3/4" barbed fitting. For on of the T1200 tests, I also used the Fly High W747 3/4" sac valve threads x 1-1/8" Tsunami threads adapter.
Rule 405FC 1100 GPH pump. 3/4" threaded inlet and a 1-1/8" outlet and 1" hose: 4:29 avg fill time.
Attwood Tsunami T1200 pump. 1-1/8 inlet and 1-1/8 outlet and 1" hose: 4:37 avg fill time.
Attwood Tsunami T1200 pump. 1-1/8 inlet and 1-1/8 outlet and 1" hose and W747 adapter: 4:44 avg fill time.
Attwood Tsunami T800 pump. 3/4" inlet and outlet with 1" hose. 4:57 avg fill time.
Attwood Tsunami T800 pump. 3/4" inlet and outlet with 3/4' hose and 3/4 Fly High quick-connects. 5:11 avg fill time
Attwood Tsunami T800 pump. 3/4" inlet and outlet with 3/4' hose and 3/4 Fly High quick-connects and the supplied 3/4 hose-barb connection on the outlet of the pump. 5:25 avg fill time.
Two surprises, here! 1, the Rule 1100 was actually faster then the Tsunami T1200. Not by alot, but IMO, certainly not well over rated 2, the W747 adapter did not slow the T1200 flow down as much as I expected. This is great news, because with the use of the adapter, you can easily mate this pump right to a 3/4" thru-hull setup, and not loose a ton of volume.
Again, this was not meant to be scientific, but simply to compare these pumps flow rates in what is as close to a real world situation as possible. So, take the info with a grain of salt.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing it.
Looks like MLA has it down. I noticed that with my old 3/4" lines out the back for draining it was more of a pressure spray shooting out a few feet, even with just the little Rule 700 powering it.
With the T-1200 on a one inch drain line it's more like a, uh, ever seen a cow taking a piss?

(Violent J)
It was a dark and stormy night, when five children of the Lotus crept into a local cemetery, their intentions were nothing more than to smoke marijoowana leafs and drink acholic beverages. But these five young boys were soon joined by some very unlikely company. If fact, for the children of the Lotus, this was some company that they could only dream of. I'm talking about the dead. Not just any dead. I'm talking about they were joined by 5 ravishing, beautiful, lovely dead women who opened up to these boys and gave them their all. (Jamie Madrox) Do you like the Ouija, we dance Blood, flesh, romance Right there, right in front of the tomb Beautiful, horrific, and the moon Dead flesh, crazy hormones Me with a hard dick Her with her neck broke We did the tango, she breathed She wiped blood on a killa's sleeve Now I ain't ever been one to pass She might be dead but she got a nice ass Riding to the bone, I like dead meat Wearing nothing but her panties Shaking to the beat So you like to dance Is that magic Is that your ass In back I'm grabbing You're getting kinda freaky Biting on my neck My heart is beating fast My underwear's wet And we danced... (Chorus) I can't believe we danced And I don't even dance I can't believe we danced And I don't even dance (Monoxide Child) Sitting with my thoughts by the Mausoleum I can't believe my eyes but I know I see them She walked up to me "Can I have this dance?" And put her hand right into my pants She had a slit in her throat But I wasn't even tripping a bit But I was kinda bucking the bitch Missing her lip She had a long tongue Stuck it straight down my throat And when I went to grab her titty It just turned to smoke And the bitch's mouth started bleeding again I had to open up her cheeks so my dick'll fit in I love the blood and guts And all the sex with the dead I love the sluts with the snake coming out of they head (Shaggy 2 Dope) Damn, was there something special in that When I swallowed it down It kinda pushed my wig back Fact wait, let me rub my eyes What I'm seeing right now Starting to make my pants rise Hello beauty queen Can I have this dance And when the song is over Can I see some romance? So what? You can see ya skull through your hair I only got one concern Pulling down ya underwear As I lick the skin across her hip I feel my tounge slip in into her rip A neden or a leg It don't matter to me Cause dancing through the cemetery gots me in ecstasy And we danced (Chorus) (Blaze Ya Dead Homie) My first thought when I seen her rise above the ground My one and only dead bitch had been found She was the high school prom queen Miss teen and shit Pressure was too tight She cut her wrist Her clothes a little tattered It ain't matter though All I wanna do is stick my dick in her jaw bone Spent about 10, frozen, decomposing Sweet talk the freak till I get them legs open Can't wait to get up in her decayed womb She's been untouched for 5 years In her tomb She rising up fo a killa To be the only one Magic dead fuck smell every time she cums (Violent) I was lonely I had no one Mind as well do masturbation I'll jack off while Shaggy smooches I'm watching them from the bushes Had my face down in my boodrest I felt something poking my ass It's another ghouly girly Look at me I'm naked early She came under me and mangled She had no feet Skin just dangled We went behind a tombstone And I said, "Your boobies, may I hold them?" She lifted up her crusty sweater They were blue and stuck together Gently I peel them apart And her skin ripped open You could see her heart And we danced...

Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 119
Company: Platinum Media
Frank (I), Marlboro, Gabriela (I), Danielle (I), Heidi (I), Others, Kim (I), Holly (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Pro-Am
Amber Ways has lusciously long wavy hair and a gentle way with the cock sucking. Real couple Kim and Marlboro are from Montreal, but they might as well be from the circus given the multitude of positions they tumble through as they make joyful love to one another. Natural blonde Heidi seems amused by what she's doing and pleased to be doing it.
Gabriela has a great body but a thoroughly unwelcoming demeanor. Had she bothered to be present for her blowjob scene, it would have felt less creepy. Holly, on the other hand, has plenty of good-natured playfulness. Danielle brings up the rear and doesn't rate a mention in the intro credits. Nonetheless, the pretty 19-year-old has fabulous boobs and is totally into the sex, although clearly weary while waiting for her facial. Once it finally arrives, she does not indicate a fondness for the taste of man spunk.
Retailing: A thoroughly enjoyable release for those seeking good-looking sex from good-looking amateurs.

Load Center
I am building a garge/workshop and plan on putting a 200 Amp system in. I bought a load center with meter head (Murry) last fall to use on the project. I was told it could be used with underground or overhead feed lines. When I opened the box last week I find it only has knockouts on top. The meter sets above the breakers and although in the same box, it is seperate from the breaker section.
Is it legal and safe to cut a hole in the botom of the box, install a 3" hub, and run the underground cables up through the box? An option may be to run the feed lines up through conduit outside the box then loop back into the overhead knockouts. Does either make sence? I have invested a lot in the box and breakers but if necessary I will start over. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED! Advertisement |

where are you getting the power from? the house? if you connect from the house i don't think you need an meter head, unless you are getting electric from the pole, paying two bill. I'm stuck in a situation like you. well i would like to add a sub panel because the old panel and circuit breakers are outdate to add more up to date circuit breaker. they would cost around 60usd to get one breaker to be replaced. i know there are heavy gauge wires going from the meter to the 100A Main breaker. then two heavy gauge going from the 100A to the two hot bus bar. i just don't know where to connect the wire for the subpanel. My panel is in wall though. I don't know if it is legal to add 3" hub to run wire underground. personally i don't think underground is the best option. maybe from roof to roof. i don't get your second option. probably because i'm 15 yrs old thats why. there is no knock out on the bottom?

dwayne, most of those meter/mains have facilities to bottom or top feed. The ones I get have blank covers for the top hub entries. I can bottom feed, top load out if I want.
There should be an "alley" along the side to feed the line side conductors up to the top of the meter. There should most definitely be knockouts in the bottom of that enclosure. You do NOT need a hub on the bottom, just locknuts. The meter will always be on top, or to one side, but never below the main breaker. Are you aware of all the other codes and requirements to do this installation? Grounding and bonding? BTW- Underground is (almost) always better than overhead!
Sometimes I feel like if I answer any more questions it is like someone trying to climb over a fence to jump off a bridge and me giving them a boost. Answers based on the 2008 & 2011 NEC. |

Thank you for the replies Justtired and Speedy Petey.
Justtired- The lines will be new lines run from a new transformer installed by the power company. The garage is too far from the house lines to be useful. I am installing a 200 AMP system and the power company requires 3" conduit to do so. I prefer underground as it is less of an eyesore and almost everyone here has underground service. The 2nd option (not a great one) would run the lines underground to a post next to the garage, up the post, loop to the building and down into the box. Petey - When I bought the box I was told it could be used for top or bottom feed; however, it only has nockouts on the top and there is no "alley". I had considered building an alley to one side of the breakers. I will have to check with the power company to see if that is allowed. I may end up having to sell this box and buy another one. Thanks agin to both of you!! Last edited by dwayne; 07-08-2006 at 02:09 PM. |

That seems strange there are no knockouts on the bottom of the box, I don't think I've ever seen that sort of box without KO's in the bottom and on the lower sides. And the one on top that requires a hub is not a knock out, it's just a pre-punched hole with a small lip around it, and 4 more small holes to screw the hub, or cover, into.
That sucks about the 3 inch, they just made that rule here too, I don't think they give you a 3 inch KO, and I'm not even sure if a 3 inch will fit those style cans. Also like Pete said, this really isn't a DIY project, you should call an electrician to have it done right. |

text: The Phoenix And The CarpetE. NesbitChapter 1 - The Egg It began with the day when it was almost the Fifth of November, and a doubt arose in some breast - Robert's, I fancy - as to the quality of the fireworks laid in for the Guy Fawkes celebration. 'They were jolly cheap,' said whoever it was, and I think it was Robert, 'and suppose they didn't go off on the night? Those Prosser kids would have something to snigger about then.' 'The ones I got are all right,' Jane said; 'I know they are, because the man at the shop said they were worth thribble the money - ' 'I'm sure thribble isn't grammar,' Anthea said. 'Of course it isn't,' said Cyril; 'one word can't be grammar all by itself, so you needn't be so jolly clever.' Anthea was rummaging in the corner-drawers of her mind for a very disagreeable answer, when she remembered what a wet day it was, and how the boys had been disappointed of that ride to London and back on the top of the tram, which their mother had promised them as a reward for not having once forgotten, for six whole days, to wipe their boots on the mat when they came home from school. So Anthea only said, 'Don't be so jolly clever yourself, Squirrel. And the fireworks look all right, and you'll have the eightpence that your tram fares didn't cost to-day, to buy something more with. You ought to get a perfectly lovely Catharine wheel for eightpence.' 'I daresay,' said Cyril, coldly; 'but it's not YOUR eightpence anyhow - ' 'But look here,' said Robert, 'really now, about the fireworks. We don't want to be disgraced before those kids next door. They think because they wear red plush on Sundays no one else is any good.' 'I wouldn't wear plush if it was ever so - unless it was black to be beheaded in, if I was Mary Queen of Scots,' said Anthea, with scorn. Robert stuck steadily to his point. One great point about Robert is the steadiness with which he can stick. 'I think we ought to test them,' he said. 'You young duffer,' said Cyril, 'fireworks are like postage-stamps. You can only use them once.' 'What do you suppose it means by "Carter's tested seeds" in the advertisement?' There was a blank silence. Then Cyril touched his forehead with his finger and shook his head. 'A little wrong here,' he said. 'I was always afraid of that with poor Robert. All that cleverness, you know, and being top in algebra so often - it's bound to tell - ' 'Dry up,' said Robert, fiercely. 'Don't you see? You can't TEST seeds if you do them ALL. You just take a few here and there, and if those grow you can feel pretty sure the others will be - what do you call it? - Father told me - "up to sample". Don't you think we ought to sample the fire-works? Just shut our eyes and each draw one out, and then try them.' 'But it's raining cats and dogs,' said Jane. 'And Queen Anne is dead,' rejoined Robert. No one was in a very good temper. 'We needn't go out to do them; we can just move back the table, and let them off on the old tea-tray we play toboggans with. I don't know what YOU think, but I think it's time we did something, and that would be really useful; because then we shouldn't just HOPE the fireworks would make those Prossers sit up - we should KNOW.' 'It WOULD be something to do,' Cyril owned with languid approval. So the table was moved back. And then the hole in the carpet, that had been near the window till the carpet was turned round, showed most awfully. But Anthea stole out on tip-toe, and got the tray when cook wasn't looking, and brought it in and put it over the hole. Then all the fireworks were put on the table, and each of the four children shut its eyes very tight and put out its hand and grasped something. Robert took a cracker, Cyril and Anthea had Roman candles; but Jane's fat paw closed on the gem of the whole collection, the Jack-in-the-box that had cost two shillings, and one at least of the party - I will not say which, because it was sorry afterwards - declared that Jane had done it on purpose. Nobody was pleased. For the worst of it was that these four children, with a very proper dislike of anything even faintly bordering on the sneakish, had a law, unalterable as those of the Medes and Persians, that one had to stand by the results of a toss-up, or a drawing of lots, or any other appeal to chance, however much one might happen to dislike the way things were turning out. 'I didn't mean to,' said Jane, near tears. 'I don't care, I'll draw another - ' 'You know jolly well you can't,' said Cyril, bitterly. 'It's settled. It's Medium and Persian. You've done it, and you'll have to stand by it - and us too, worse luck. Never mind. YOU'LL have your pocket-money before the Fifth. Anyway, we'll have the Jack-in-the-box LAST, and get the most out of it we can.' So the cracker and the Roman candles were lighted, and they were all that could be expected for the money; but when it came to the Jack-in-the-box it simply sat in the tray and laughed at them, as Cyril said. They tried to light it with paper and they tried to light it with matches; they tried to light it with Vesuvian fusees from the pocket of father's second-best overcoat that was hanging in the hall. And then Anthea slipped away to the cupboard under the stairs where the brooms and dustpans were kept, and the rosiny fire-lighters that smell so nice and like the woods where pine-trees grow, and the old newspapers and the bees-wax and turpentine, and the horrid an stiff dark rags that are used for cleaning brass and furniture, and the paraffin for the lamps. She came back with a little pot that had once cost sevenpence-halfpenny when it was full of red-currant jelly; but the jelly had been all eaten long ago, and now Anthea had filled the jar with paraffin. She came in, and she threw the paraffin over the tray just at the moment when Cyril was trying with the twenty-third match to light the Jack-in-the-box. The Jack-in-the-box did not catch fire any more than usual, but the paraffin acted quite differently, and in an instant a hot flash of flame leapt up and burnt off Cyril's eyelashes, and scorched the faces of all four before they could spring back. They backed, in four instantaneous bounds, as far as they could, which was to the wall, and the pillar of fire reached from floor to ceiling. 'My hat,' said Cyril, with emotion, 'You've done it this time, Anthea.' The flame was spreading out under the ceiling like the rose of fire in Mr Rider Haggard's exciting story about Allan Quatermain. Robert and Cyril saw that no time was to be lost. They turned up the edges of the carpet, and kicked them over the tray. This cut off the column of fire, and it disappeared and there was nothing left but smoke and a dreadful smell of lamps that have been turned too low. All hands now rushed to the rescue, and the paraffin fire was only a bundle of trampled carpet, when suddenly a sharp crack beneath their feet made the amateur firemen start back. Another crack - the carpet moved as if it had had a cat wrapped in it; the Jack-in-the-box had at last allowed itself to be lighted, and it was going off with desperate violence inside the carpet. Robert, with the air of one doing the only possible thing, rushed to the window and opened it. Anthea screamed, Jane burst into tears, and Cyril turned the table wrong way up on top of the carpet heap. But the firework went on, banging and bursting and spluttering even underneath the table. Next moment mother rushed in, attracted by the howls of Anthea, and in a few moments the firework desisted and there was a dead silence, and the children stood looking at each other's black faces, and, out of the corners of their eyes, at mother's white one. The fact that the nursery carpet was ruined occasioned but little surprise, nor was any one really astonished that bed should prove the immediate end of the adventure. It has been said that all roads lead to Rome; this may be true, but at any rate, in early youth I am quite sure that many roads lead to BED, and stop there - or YOU do. The rest of the fireworks were confiscated, and mother was not pleased when father let them off himself in the back garden, though he said, 'Well, how else can you get rid of them, my dear?' You see, father had forgotten that the children were in disgrace, and that their bedroom windows looked out on to the back garden. So that they all saw the fireworks most beautifully, and admired the skill with which father handled them. Next day all was forgotten and forgiven; only the nursery had to be deeply cleaned (like spring-cleaning), and the ceiling had to be whitewashed. And mother went out; and just at tea-time next day a man came with a rolled-up carpet, and father paid him, and mother said - 'If the carpet isn't in good condition, you know, I shall expect you to change it.' And the man replied - 'There ain't a thread gone in it nowhere, mum. It's a bargain, if ever there was one, and I'm more'n 'arf sorry I let it go at the price; but we can't resist the lydies, can we, sir?' and he winked at father and went away. Then the carpet was put down in the nursery, and sure enough there wasn't a hole in it anywhere. As the last fold was unrolled something hard and loud-sounding bumped out of it and trundled along the nursery floor. All the children scrambled for it, and Cyril got it. He took it to the gas. It was shaped like an egg, very yellow and shiny, half-transparent, and it had an odd sort of light in it that changed as you held it in different ways. It was as though it was an egg with a yolk of pale fire that just showed through the stone. 'I MAY keep it, mayn't I, mother?' Cyril asked. And of course mother said no; they must take it back to the man who had brought the carpet, because she had only paid for a carpet, and not for a stone egg with a fiery yolk to it. So she told them where the shop was, and it was in the Kentish Town Road, not far from the hotel that is called the Bull and Gate. It was a poky little shop, and the man was arranging furniture outside on the pavement very cunningly, so that the more broken parts should show as little as possible. And directly he saw the children he knew them again, and he began at once, without giving them a chance to speak. 'No you don't' he cried loudly; 'I ain't a-goin' to take back no carpets, so don't you make no bloomin' errer. A bargain's a bargain, and the carpet's puffik throughout.' 'We don't want you to take it back,' said Cyril; 'but we found something in it.' 'It must have got into it up at your place, then,' said the man, with indignant promptness, 'for there ain't nothing in nothing as I sell. It's all as clean as a whistle.' 'I never said it wasn't CLEAN,' said Cyril, 'but - ' 'Oh, if it's MOTHS,' said the man, 'that's easy cured with borax. But I expect it was only an odd one. I tell you the carpet's good through and through. It hadn't got no moths when it left my 'ands - not so much as an hegg.' 'But that's just it,' interrupted Jane; 'there WAS so much as an egg.' The man made a sort of rush at the children and stamped his foot. 'Clear out, I say!' he shouted, 'or I'll call for the police. A nice thing for customers to 'ear you a-coming 'ere a-charging me with finding things in goods what I sells. 'Ere, be off, afore I sends you off with a flea in your ears. Hi! constable - ' The children fled, and they think, and their father thinks, that they couldn't have done anything else. Mother has her own opinion. But father said they might keep the egg. 'The man certainly didn't know the egg was there when he brought the carpet,' said he, 'any more than your mother did, and we've as much right to it as he had.' So the egg was put on the mantelpiece, where it quite brightened up the dingy nursery. The nursery was dingy, because it was a basement room, and its windows looked out on a stone area with a rockery made of clinkers facing the windows. Nothing grew in the rockery except London pride and snails. The room had been described in the house agent's list as a 'convenient breakfast-room in basement,' and in the daytime it was rather dark. This did not matter so much in the evenings when the gas was alight, but then it was in the evening that the blackbeetles got so sociable, and used to come out of the low cupboards on each side of the fireplace where their homes were, and try to make friends with the children. At least, I suppose that was what they wanted, but the children never would. On the Fifth of November father and mother went to the theatre, and the children were not happy, because the Prossers next door had lots of fireworks and they had none. They were not even allowed to have a bonfire in the garden. 'No more playing with fire, thank you,' was father's answer, when they asked him. When the baby had been put to bed the children sat sadly round the fire in the nursery. 'I'm beastly bored,' said Robert. 'Let's talk about the Psammead,' said Anthea, who generally tried to give the conversation a cheerful turn. 'What's the good of TALKING?' said Cyril. 'What I want is for something to happen. It's awfully stuffy for a chap not to be allowed out in the evenings. There's simply nothing to do when you've got through your homers.' Jane finished the last of her home-lessons and shut the book with a bang. 'We've got the pleasure of memory,' said she. 'Just think of last holidays.' Last holidays, indeed, offered something to think of - for they had been spent in the country at a white house between a sand-pit and a gravel-pit, and things had happened. The children had found a Psammead, or sand-fairy, and it had let them have anything they wished for - just exactly anything, with no bother about its not being really for their good, or anything like that. And if you want to know what kind of things they wished for, and how their wishes turned out you can read it all in a book called Five Children and It (It was the Psammead). If you've not read it, perhaps I ought to tell you that the fifth child was the baby brother, who was called the Lamb, because the first thing he ever said was 'Baa!' and that the other children were not particularly handsome, nor were they extra clever, nor extraordinarily good. But they were not bad sorts on the whole; in fact, they were rather like you. 'I don't want to think about the pleasures of memory,' said Cyril; 'I want some more things to happen.' 'We're very much luckier than any one else, as it is,' said Jane. 'Why, no one else ever found a Psammead. We ought to be grateful.' 'Why shouldn't we GO ON being, though?' Cyril asked - 'lucky, I mean, not grateful. Why's it all got to stop?' 'Perhaps something will happen,' said Anthea, comfortably. 'Do you know, sometimes I think we are the sort of people that things DO happen to.' 'It's like that in history,' said Jane: 'some kings are full of interesting things, and others - nothing ever happens to them, except their being born and crowned and buried, and sometimes not that.' 'I think Panther's right,' said Cyril: 'I think we are the sort of people things do happen to. I have a sort of feeling things would happen right enough if we could only give them a shove. It just wants something to start it. That's all.' 'I wish they taught magic at school,' Jane sighed. 'I believe if we could do a little magic it might make something happen.' 'I wonder how you begin?' Robert looked round the room, but he got no ideas from the faded green curtains, or the drab Venetian blinds, or the worn brown oil-cloth on the floor. Even the new carpet suggested nothing, though its pattern was a very wonderful one, and always seemed as though it were just going to make you think of something. 'I could begin right enough,' said Anthea; 'I've read lots about it. But I believe it's wrong in the Bible.' 'It's only wrong in the Bible because people wanted to hurt other people. I don't see how things can be wrong unless they hurt somebody, and we don't want to hurt anybody; and what's more, we jolly well couldn't if we tried. Let's get the Ingoldsby Legends. There's a thing about Abra-cadabra there,' said Cyril, yawning. 'We may as well play at magic. Let's be Knights Templars. They were awfully gone on magic. They used to work spells or something with a goat and a goose. Father says so.' 'Well, that's all right,' said Robert, unkindly; 'you can play the goat right enough, and Jane knows how to be a goose.' 'I'll get Ingoldsby,' said Anthea, hastily. 'You turn up the hearthrug.' So they traced strange figures on the linoleum, where the hearthrug had kept it clean. They traced them with chalk that Robert had nicked from the top of the mathematical master's desk at school. You know, of course, that it is stealing to take a new stick of chalk, but it is not wrong to take a broken piece, so long as you only take one. (I do not know the reason of this rule, nor who made it.) And they chanted all the gloomiest songs they could think of. And, of course, nothing happened. So then Anthea said, 'I'm sure a magic fire ought to be made of sweet-smelling wood, and have magic gums and essences and things in it.' 'I don't know any sweet-smelling wood, except cedar,' said Robert; 'but I've got some ends of cedar-wood lead pencil.' So they burned the ends of lead pencil. And still nothing happened. 'Let's burn some of the eucalyptus oil we have for our colds,' said Anthea. And they did. It certainly smelt very strong. And they burned lumps of camphor out of the big chest. It was very bright, and made a horrid black smoke, which looked very magical. But still nothing happened. Then they got some clean tea-cloths from the dresser drawer in the kitchen, and waved them over the magic chalk-tracings, and sang 'The Hymn of the Moravian Nuns at Bethlehem', which is very impressive. And still nothing happened. So they waved more and more wildly, and Robert's tea-cloth caught the golden egg and whisked it off the mantelpiece, and it fell into the fender and rolled under the grate. 'Oh, crikey!' said more than one voice. And every one instantly fell down flat on its front to look under the grate, and there lay the egg, glowing in a nest of hot ashes. 'It's not smashed, anyhow,' said Robert, and he put his hand under the grate and picked up the egg. But the egg was much hotter than any one would have believed it could possibly get in such a short time, and Robert had to drop it with a cry of 'Bother!' It fell on the top bar of the grate, and bounced right into the glowing red-hot heart of the fire. 'The tongs!' cried Anthea. But, alas, no one could remember where they were. Every one had forgotten that the tongs had last been used to fish up the doll's teapot from the bottom of the water- butt, where the Lamb had dropped it. So the nursery tongs were resting between the water-butt and the dustbin, and cook refused to lend the kitchen ones. 'Never mind,' said Robert, 'we'll get it out with the poker and the shovel.' 'Oh, stop,' cried Anthea. 'Look at it! Look! look! look! I do believe something IS going to happen!' For the egg was now red-hot, and inside it something was moving. Next moment there was a soft cracking sound; the egg burst in two, and out of it came a flame-coloured bird. It rested a moment among the flames, and as it rested there the four children could see it growing bigger and bigger under their eyes. Every mouth was a-gape, every eye a-goggle. The bird rose in its nest of fire, stretched its wings, and flew out into the room. It flew round and round, and round again, and where it passed the air was warm. Then it perched on the fender. The children looked at each other. Then Cyril put out a hand towards the bird. It put its head on one side and looked up at him, as you may have seen a parrot do when it is just going to speak, so that the children were hardly astonished at all when it said, 'Be careful; I am not nearly cool yet.' They were not astonished, but they were very, very much interested. They looked at the bird, and it was certainly worth looking at. Its feathers were like gold. It was about as large as a bantam, only its beak was not at all bantam-shaped. 'I believe I know what it is,' said Robert. 'I've seen a picture.' He hurried away. A hasty dash and scramble among the papers on father's study table yielded, as the sum-books say, 'the desired result'. But when he came back into the room holding out a paper, and crying, 'I say, look here,' the others all said 'Hush!' and he hushed obediently and instantly, for the bird was speaking. 'Which of you,' it was saying, 'put the egg into the fire?' 'He did,' said three voices, and three fingers pointed at Robert. The bird bowed; at least it was more like that than anything else. 'I am your grateful debtor,' it said with a high-bred air. The children were all choking with wonder and curiosity - all except Robert. He held the paper in his hand, and he KNEW. He said so. He said - 'I know who you are.' And he opened and displayed a printed paper, at the head of which was a little picture of a bird sitting in a nest of flames. 'You are the Phoenix,' said Robert; and the bird was quite pleased. 'My fame has lived then for two thousand years,' it said. 'Allow me to look at my portrait.' It looked at the page which Robert, kneeling down, spread out in the fender, and said - 'It's not a flattering likeness ... And what are these characters?' it asked, pointing to the printed part. 'Oh, that's all dullish; it's not much about YOU, you know,' said Cyril, with unconscious politeness; 'but you're in lots of books.' 'With portraits?' asked the Phoenix. 'Well, no,' said Cyril; 'in fact, I don't think I ever saw any portrait of you but that one, but I can read you something about yourself, if you like.' The Phoenix nodded, and Cyril went off and fetched Volume X of the old Encyclopedia, and on page 246 he found the following: - 'Phoenix - in ornithology, a fabulous bird of antiquity.' 'Antiquity is quite correct,' said the Phoenix, 'but fabulous - well, do I look it?' Every one shook its head. Cyril went on - 'The ancients speak of this bird as single, or the only one of its kind.' 'That's right enough,' said the Phoenix. 'They describe it as about the size of an eagle.' 'Eagles are of different sizes,' said the Phoenix; 'it's not at all a good description.' All the children were kneeling on the hearthrug, to be as near the Phoenix as possible. 'You'll boil your brains,' it said. 'Look out, I'm nearly cool now;' and with a whirr of golden wings it fluttered from the fender to the table. It was so nearly cool that there was only a very faint smell of burning when it had settled itself on the table-cloth. 'It's only a very little scorched,' said the Phoenix, apologetically; 'it will come out in the wash. Please go on reading.' The children gathered round the table. 'The size of an eagle,' Cyril went on, 'its head finely crested with a beautiful plumage, its neck covered with feathers of a gold colour, and the rest of its body purple; only the tail white, and the eyes sparkling like stars. They say that it lives about five hundred years in the wilderness, and when advanced in age it builds itself a pile of sweet wood and aromatic gums, fires it with the wafting of its wings, and thus burns itself; and that from its ashes arises a worm, which in time grows up to be a Phoenix. Hence the Phoenicians gave - ' 'Never mind what they gave,' said the Phoenix, ruffling its golden feathers. 'They never gave much, anyway; they always were people who gave nothing for nothing. That book ought to be destroyed. It's most inaccurate. The rest of my body was never purple, and as for my - tail - well, I simply ask you, IS it white?' It turned round and gravely presented its golden tail to the children. 'No. it's not,' said everybody. 'No, and it never was,' said the Phoenix. 'And that about the worm is just a vulgar insult. The Phoenix has an egg, like all respectable birds. It makes a pile - that part's all right - and it lays its egg, and it burns itself; and it goes to sleep and wakes up in its egg, and comes out and goes on living again, and so on for ever and ever. I can't tell you how weary I got of it - such a restless existence; no repose.' 'But how did your egg get HERE?' asked Anthea. 'Ah, that's my life-secret,' said the Phoenix. 'I couldn't tell it to any one who wasn't really sympathetic. I've always been a misunderstood bird. You can tell that by what they say about the worm. I might tell YOU,' it went on, looking at Robert with eyes that were indeed starry. 'You put me on the fire - ' Robert looked uncomfortable. 'The rest of us made the fire of sweet-scented woods and gums, though,' said Cyril. 'And - and it was an accident my putting you on the fire,' said Robert, telling the truth with some difficulty, for he did not know how the Phoenix might take it. It took it in the most unexpected manner. 'Your candid avowal,' it said, 'removes my last scruple. I will tell you my story.' 'And you won't vanish, or anything sudden will you?, asked Anthea, anxiously. 'Why?' it asked, puffing out the golden feathers, 'do you wish me to stay here?' 'Oh YES,' said every one, with unmistakable sincerity. 'Why?' asked the Phoenix again, looking modestly at the table-cloth. 'Because,' said every one at once, and then stopped short; only Jane added after a pause, 'you are the most beautiful person we've ever seen.' 'You are a sensible child,' said the Phoenix, 'and I will NOT vanish or anything sudden. And I will tell you my tale. I had resided, as your book says, for many thousand years in the wilderness, which is a large, quiet place with very little really good society, and I was becoming weary of the monotony of my existence. But I acquired the habit of laying my egg and burning myself every five hundred years - and you know how difficult it is to break yourself of a habit.' 'Yes,' said Cyril; 'Jane used to bite her nails.' 'But I broke myself of it,' urged Jane, rather hurt, 'You know I did.' 'Not till they put bitter aloes on them,' said Cyril. 'I doubt,' said the bird, gravely, 'whether even bitter aloes (the aloe, by the way, has a bad habit of its own, which it might well cure before seeking to cure others; I allude to its indolent practice of flowering but once a century), I doubt whether even bitter aloes could have cured ME. But I WAS cured. I awoke one morning from a feverish dream - it was getting near the time for me to lay that tiresome fire and lay that tedious egg upon it - and I saw two people, a man and a woman. They were sitting on a carpet - and when I accosted them civilly they narrated to me their life-story, which, as you have not yet heard it, I will now proceed to relate. They were a prince and princess, and the story of their parents was one which I am sure you will like to hear. In early youth the mother of the princess happened to hear the story of a certain enchanter, and in that story I am sure you will be interested. The enchanter - ' 'Oh, please don't,' said Anthea. 'I can't understand all these beginnings of stories, and you seem to be getting deeper and deeper in them every minute. Do tell us your OWN story. That's what we really want to hear.' 'Well,' said the Phoenix, seeming on the whole rather flattered, 'to cut about seventy long stories short (though I had to listen to them all - but to be sure in the wilderness there is plenty of time), this prince and princess were so fond of each other that they did not want any one else, and the enchanter - don't be alarmed, I won't go into his history - had given them a magic carpet (you've heard of a magic carpet?), and they had just sat on it and told it to take them right away from every one - and it had brought them to the wilderness. And as they meant to stay there they had no further use for the carpet, so they gave it to me. That was indeed the chance of a lifetime!' 'I don't see what you wanted with a carpet,' said Jane, 'when you've got those lovely wings.' 'They ARE nice wings, aren't they?' said the Phoenix, simpering and spreading them out. 'Well, I got the prince to lay out the carpet, and I laid my egg on it; then I said to the carpet, "Now, my excellent carpet, prove your worth. Take that egg somewhere where it can't be hatched for two thousand years, and where, when that time's up, some one will light a fire of sweet wood and aromatic gums, and put the egg in to hatch;" and you see it's all come out exactly as I said. The words were no sooner out of my beak than egg and carpet disappeared. The royal lovers assisted to arrange my pile, and soothed my last moments. I burnt myself up and knew no more till I awoke on yonder altar.' It pointed its claw at the grate. 'But the carpet,' said Robert, 'the magic carpet that takes you anywhere you wish. What became of that?' 'Oh, THAT?' said the Phoenix, carelessly - 'I should say that that is the carpet. I remember the pattern perfectly.' It pointed as it spoke to the floor, where lay the carpet which mother had bought in the Kentish Town Road for twenty-two shillings and ninepence. At that instant father's latch-key was heard in the door. 'OH,' whispered Cyril, 'now we shall catch it for not being in bed!' 'Wish yourself there,' said the Phoenix, in a hurried whisper, 'and then wish the carpet back in its place.' No sooner said than done. It made one a little giddy, certainly, and a little breathless; but when things seemed right way up again, there the children were, in bed, and the lights were out. They heard the soft voice of the Phoenix through the darkness. 'I shall sleep on the cornice above your curtains,' it said. 'Please don't mention me to your kinsfolk.' 'Not much good,' said Robert, 'they'd never believe us. I say,' he called through the half-open door to the girls; 'talk about adventures and things happening. We ought to be able to get some fun out of a magic carpet AND a Phoenix.' 'Rather,' said the girls, in bed. 'Children,' said father, on the stairs, 'go to sleep at once. What do you mean by talking at this time of night?' No answer was expected to this question, but under the bedclothes Cyril murmured one. 'Mean?' he said. 'Don't know what we mean. I don't know what anything means.' 'But we've got a magic carpet AND a Phoenix,' said Robert. 'You'll get something else if father comes in and catches you,' said Cyril. 'Shut up, I tell you.' Robert shut up. But he knew as well as you do that the adventures of that carpet and that Phoenix were only just beginning. Father and mother had not the least idea of what had happened in their absence. This is often the case, even when there are no magic carpets or Phoenixes in the house. The next morning - but I am sure you would rather wait till the next chapter before you hear about THAT. |

Germans hunting Mr or Ms Right not having kids
Published: 17 Jan 2013 12:15 GMT+01:00
- Is Germany a horrible place to raise a family? (18 Dec 12)
- Fewer Germans find children worthwhile (17 Dec 12)
- Women on contracts can keep pregnancy mum (07 Dec 12)
Childless Germans under 50 said the most common reason they had not plumped for parenthood was that they had not found the right partner, figures in the German Families Ministry's Families Report 2012 show.
Younger people said they were put off because they saw parenthood as a complicated balancing act - and were unwilling to walk the tight rope between work, life and children.
Of those non-parents under 50 years old, 39 percent said they felt they were too young to have kids, while 34 percent said they wanted to keep their free time for their hobbies.
The numbers show a shift compared with ten years ago, when most childless Germans said they had been putting off having babies due to financial concerns about whether or not they could afford it.
However, 34 percent now said the reason they had not had children was because they were uncertain about what their future held - which could be partly due to concerns over job security.
The report supported the recent findings of researchers from the Federal Institute for Population Research, who in December said that a quarter of German women born between 1964 and 1968 did not have children primarily because they believed motherhood was incompatible with pursuing a career.
The figures can be seen as a blow for the German government in its drive to raise the country's dismally low birth rate, Die Welt newspaper said on Thursday. Any government financial or social incentives could not compete against personal reasons for putting off having children, the paper said.
In the latest measure, the government said it would grant children under three a legal claim to a place in a nursery or with a child carer from August 2013, although recent data showed the country was behind schedule in providing capacity for this.
Worldwide, Germany is one of the countries with the highest number of childless women, but Families Minister Kristina Schröder remained optimistic on Wednesday. The new report showed signs that the German birth rate would slowly begin to increase, she said.
Figures showed a rise in the number of people who said they wanted children and suggested that more women who want children were putting off having kids until they were at least 30. Furthermore, said Minister Schröder, the number of well-educated people having children was back on the rise after several years of decline.

Nick Lowe, 'Quality Street'
The Lowe composition "Christmas at the Airport," about a stranded traveler in a locked airport, sets the tone for this 2013 album: world-weary, but still full of good cheer. "I'm doing Santa's sleigh ride on the baggage carousel," he sings. ("Quality Street" is the name of a British chocolate assortment, often deployed as stocking stuffers.) Excellently, the most raucous cut is "Silent Night": recklessly ignoring its title, Lowe fills out the sound with organ, horns, and surf guitar.

Hi there !
Here's the final battle music from Warriors of the Portal.
I believe it is one of the most difficult piece i had to write. I experimented a good deal of things, and for a time, i wasn't sure i would be able to finish this one, seeing how i began in the first place.
Besides, i had to mix many more tracks than usual, which was a pain.
But i must say i'm glad of the result, though.
Enjoy !
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a very extrodinary peice of music, if I was trapped in a room with this playing on a radio I would sit there and listen till i die! This could be used for any video game/ EPIC fight. This made my new level of awsome higher, if it isnt better than this (which will be hard to beat) its like Justin Biber. All that hard work was worth it, too bad stars can only go up to 10, because this is more like a 100 on a 10 star scale, keep it up ;3
Hehe, thank you very much !
Rated 5 / 5 stars
EPIC at the beginning
what program did you used to make these musics?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hail! Hail!
Those chores reminds me of like a somekind of epic battle of Leonidas against an army.

So I've had my S4 since it came out and the battery has been absolutely fantastic since I had it. I could use it moderately just for what I needed and I had great battery life and didn't need to charge that often. Last week though I received and Android update I believe it was and it pushed up my storage from 2.00 gb to 8.80gb out of 16.00gb. Now my battery life has not been as good and it was at 60% after being at work with internet and not using it except for a couple text messages. that was well before 6 hours on battery. I downloaded an app to clear up unnecessary data and cache and reduced my storage to 8.00gb. But thats still pretty damn high. I usually charge it before bed and would last me most of the next day. Also one night last week i might have slightly slept on it and it was a bit warm but not hot like I did my last phone and that ruined the battery. So not sure if I should get a new battery? Or how to free up this space it will help. And I have turned off all unnecessary features and what not.
A good space cleaning app is called Clean Master (Cleaner). I'm not sure hat having more space helps conserve battery life but Clean Master (Cleaner) also has a task killer function which will also free up space and help conserve battery life by killing tasks working in the background which you may not have even realized were running. One other thing I can think of to help conserve battery life is to go into settings for the Play Store and make sure you have automatically update apps when WiFi is on, turned off.
I did just download that yesterday and it seems to be doing its job. And I did just turn off that automatic update. That was pissing me off too, thanks for that.

Striped Paper Plate Fish
Give kids some simple craft supplies and make them into a sea full of unique and delightful fish.
2 small paper plates
old box or some cardboard
Tape for customizing
Trim your plates!
Start out by trimming both of your paper plates. You want to cut off the edge that rolls back down. This way when you tape the two halves together, there will be a nice clean edge. I carefully held my paper plates together, facing each other and then cut the excess off.
Cut out your fins!
Next I cut out my fins from an old box. You could play around with different designs, cutting them out and holding them up to your fish body. When you like one, tape it to the inside of one of your paper plates. I added one flipper and two fins.
Attach the plates together!
I attached both paper plates together using my hot glue gun but you could just as easily use tape or regular glue.
Color your fish!
At this point you could draw eyes in and use markers to make cool designs on your fish.
VOILÀ! — a paper-plate fish! Now you can attach a piece of string to it and hang your fish from the ceiling. The most important thing is to experiment and try new ideas.
Finish your fish!
Now this is where i spent some time: decorating my fish. First I tried running my tape stripes in different directions and decide on the vertical look. Then starting at the tail I carefully stuck a piece of blue masking tape down, leaving it long. I then stuck a piece on the opposite side and in the same location. Have fun with your fish!
