Dragonlance Saga Roleplaying
> The Reign of Chaos
(OOC: This scenario takes place during the Chaos War. In it we are assuming that Steel did not lead his armies into the Abyss to fight Chaos and that Chaos is now free to roam the earth. The gods are still around, with the exception of Takhisis who fled Krynn for her own reasons. Any character in this time frame may be used, including Steel Brightblade and Tas who as I said earlier never challenged Chaos. You may also use your own characters, so as always have fun!!!)
The lands burned in the heat of the Anvil Summer. Many would remember the crops burning, the wells running dry, the blazing heat killing thousands, but most of all they would remember his coming. In the zenith of this accursed summer a great explosion rocked Krynn on a small island north of Palanthas. With the explosion came legions of fire dragons, wights, and many other beasts that could not be destroyed without the aid of magic and magical weapons. But with the explosion also came a creature of such immesurable power that could not be matched, not just a creature but a god, not just any god but Chaos the father of all and of nothing.
Sitting on his throne of flames he admired the work he had accomplished in just a month of arriving on Krynn. The mighty Knights of Takhisis had fallen, Takhisis herself had fled the Abyss, and the rest of the gods had withdrawn to their own homes for fear of their father and the pain they would endure under his tyranny. The Abyss was a cozy home for him, but he had work to do. The great father of all and of nothing stood up from his dias and slowly made his way to the small crack leading to the material world. With a flash of his hand he sent a great wave of fire at the crack leading out of the nothingness of the Abyss. A great gaping hole is all that remained. Chaos was free, and with his freedom will come the death of the world.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
OOC: cool I could have fun here...with the time line all different, Kalia my Crystal dragon would not have spent time as a human, nor would she be a true "Good" dragon but a Dragon of Chaos. hehe
Crystalamira roared and hissed agrily at the annoying little creatures that tried to attack her. with a sharp intake of breath she whiped them out with an exhalation of her Breath weapon, showering those beneath her with a blanket of frost-fire
"The return of the Father of all and nothing has come!" She roared in triumphEverybody dies, but only a precious few truely LIVE....
Goddess Bless! ;)
a gnome sitting on the grass below saw the dragon spewing fire and he saw Chaos. He uttered a phrase that would go down in the history books. "Crap"Why insult a door's purpose buy locking it.
- Kender proverb-
Steel sat on his dragon as they watched the coming of the father of all and of nothing into this world. It seemed that every mountain exploded in fury and imputence at the coming of the father, but out of every mountain also came the minions of Chaos. Steel did not even look twice as he saw chaos coming his way, even when his dragon lurched forward to attack the god. Steel did not care anymore, his beloved emperor was dead and his queen had abandoned him, he had no meaning to his life. The dragon steadily flew at top speed at the god which could only be termed as a suicide attack. But just as they came a hundred feet from the towering goliath, a great silver dragon cut them off.
"Steel, my name is Solamirthanas, I have come at the command of Palin Majere, I must take you back to him at any cost."
The great blue dragon Steel rode was angry at the thought of being kept from battle by a lowly silver worm, but Steel steadied the great dragon. "I will join you, but only to see what he wants, then I will return to my death."
With that the three turned around and headed to the tower of high sorcery in Wayreth.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
They reached the tower, and Steel jumped from his dragon, heading for the stairs of the tower. He reached the door, and when he opened it, a figure draped in black stood in the doorway. He looked at Steel with a face scarred from months of exile. He stared straight at Steel, and spoke but 1 phrase: "I bring in giant cow we bash cow over head."
Behind Steel landed another strange character, who, armed with a grabby claw, slashed Steel accross the back. "Now we will see how he fairs at the grabby market," he said, before grabbing Steel and flying to the market. Larkin mounted his prized salty goldfish, and followed on the ground.Me and you are caught up in the same flow...I'm just swimming against it.
- Delita to Ramza - Final Fantasy Tactics
Steels dragon slowed as they approached the great tower of Wayreth. Not many men who did not weild magic were allowed to enter the tower, not to mention the great forest of Wayreth. It seemed to Steel that the trees were moving out of his way as he and his mount went on their way through the forest. "I hate this accused place." Steel mumbled to himself. Trying to shake the fear from his body, Steel forced himself to walk towards the tower where he spotted a familiar figure. "Palin, so why have you summoned me away from my death. Chaos is free, and I want to meet my end on my own terms."
(OOC: whoever wants to play Palin please join in, oh and disregard the last entry in this story, anyone who SERIOUSLY wants to add to this story please feel free to write.)You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.

Cameron Pybus
I didn't receive my acceptance letter to Texas A&M until May 7th, I had no idea where I was going to live because dorm rooms had already been filled and on top of that, I was working 40 hours a week that summer. I was in a not-so-ideal situation for a soon-to be-freshman in college and knew I was going to need some advice to have a successful year. I was going to need a mentor.
Having a mentor or someone who can show you the ropes is an incredible advantage at the beginning of your college career. It's what helped me through my first semester and really launched my success at A&M. Seeking out somebody with experience to answer your questions may seem a little awkward at first but I bet they'll be more than willing to help you out. Lots of new students decide to go it alone; that's fine if that's your personality but in my own personal experience, college is about the people you meet and create unforgettable memories with.
Here are some tips for finding a mentor or someone older to show you the collegiate ropes:
Cameron Pybus is a rising senior at Texas A&M University, where he's majoring in environmental design. He plans to attend graduate school in the fall of 2012 and eventually pursue a career as an architect. Cameron has been involved in various activities at A&M including student government organizations and a service organization called A.M.C. He just returned from studying abroad in Italy and is looking forward to his last year as an Aggie.

Are you still looking for that special graduation gift for a future college student? Here are some foolproof gifts I wish I was given as a graduating senior and they will set you apart from the standard gift of money or towels. (Really, who needs 20 quick-drying towels?!) Your future freshman friend will thank you for it!
Amazon.com and Target gift cards. Sure, buying your books at the student bookstore is easy and convenient but if you know your class schedule and required books before the first day of class, you will save enormous amounts of money buying from Amazon. They even offer free shipping and handling for students! As for Target, it really is a one-stop shop for college students. Can you say economy-sized shampoo and conditioner?
Light-blocking sleep mask. Okay, so maybe the guys won't enjoy this one as much but once any student has an 8 a.m. exam, he or she will be thanking you – the great gift-giver – for the eye mask that allows them to sleep in a brightly-lit, small room shared with a roommate that likes to stay up until the wee hours of the night with all the lights on. Throw in some earplugs as a cute (and inexpensive) companion gift!
Bicycle lights. Is your friend bringing a bike to school? Bike laws are a concept a lot of students forget about, especially when they aren't used to riding a bike every day. Let me tell you, bike police are real and they WILL issue you an expensive ticket if you are riding a bike at night with no lights. In addition, a bicycle U-lock is also a great gift and necessary no matter how safe you think your college campus is!
Good luck gift-givers!

With majors like engineering, computer science and nursing, there may not seem to be a whole lot of room for generalized majors like liberal arts. All of the aforementioned majors train you for a very specific field, whereas liberal arts degrees (which include philosophy, literature and history) don't, making "What are you going to do with your degree?" one of the most common questions liberal arts majors are asked.
While it's true that the broadness of liberal arts degrees can make finding a job difficult, this broadness also presents more opportunities than many other degrees. According to the University of California at Davis, the skill most valued by employers is the ability to communicate effectively. This is to a liberal arts major's advantage, as their classes require a lot of writing, critical thinking and listening – all of which are crucial to effective communication. Along this same line, technologically-driven communication like texting and IMing has made our society increasingly reliant on "chat speak" and its disregard for grammar, punctuation, etc. Some people worry decent writers are becoming scarce but liberal arts degree holders lay these fears to rest.
Additionally, liberal arts majors are creative individuals. They've been forced to draw connections between seemingly unrelated ideas and translate abstract information into concrete, easily understandable ideas. In today's ever-changing business world, problem solvers and innovators – two traits often held by liberal arts majors – are extremely valuable.
In sum, if you decide to major in a liberal arts field and worry you'll lack the training for more specialized jobs, you can make up for it in your ability to think outside the box.

Darci Miller
Before college, the only time I'd ever shared a room with someone was at sleep-away camp. Living in a bunk with a dozen other girls was certainly an experience but I was still nervous about moving in with my freshman roommate. We'd talked on Facebook but never met in person and all of a sudden we were supposed to live together harmoniously.
Not only did we survive that first year without killing each other but we successfully lived together sophomore year and will be moving back in together in August for year number three. Pretty good for a first roommate experience! While I lucked out in finding someone I'm totally compatible with, I think our trick was abiding by several unwritten rules.
First and foremost is respect. We never touch each other's things (including food) unless we get permission to. At the same time, there are certain things we share: Her printer is mine to use as I need it (as long as I help pay for ink), she has full privileges with my television and then there was the time we bought a jar of Nutella together. Respect also involves being quiet when you come in at 3 a.m. and keeping sexiling to a bare minimum (no pun intended).
Compromising is important as well. You'll have to learn to go to sleep with the lights on now and then (I did) or plug in your headphones if your roommate wants to turn in early. If you both go in knowing that you'll have to give a little, you'll make each other's transition much easier.
In my opinion, the most important aspect of living together is liking each other! You don't have to be BFFs but spend some time together and find something to bond over. Do you both hate the Yankees? Are you both huge OneRepublic fans? Heck, do you both like Nutella? It can be the littlest things that form a great relationship and make living together a pleasure.

Mariah Proctor
When I was preparing for my first study abroad to Jerusalem, I envisioned myself walking though the cobblestone streets and trying exotic foods and seeing wonderful sights. The one thing that my pre-departure vision never included was other people. I always imagined myself alone and having the time of my life. It wasn't until we got together, all in one room, that I realized that girl who asked that silly question was going to be there and that guy who looked too cool for school was going to be there and that this trip was going to be full of people and not just places.
I ended up falling in love with my Jerusalem group. Those bad first impressions resolved themselves over time and we found ourselves attached to one another in a way that is much more than the "false intimacy of fellow travelers." Study abroad rules often dictate that you travel everywhere in groups, meaning that these people are going to punctuate every experience you have in your destination of choice. Don't let that punctuation be big ol' question marks or – worse – frustrated exclamation points.
As you start your journey looking into the faces of strangers that you will ultimately get to know better than you can currently imagine, remember what Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him." Everyone in your study abroad group will have something unique and wonderful to offer your experience, so be open to accepting that contribution. When you discover some great and respectable trait in a travel buddy, be confident enough to tell them so. Everyone will be feeling a little out of whack in a new place and that kind of lift will connect you and improve the adventure for you both.

Jacquelene Bennett
One of the most striking differences between high school and college is how everyone pays attention to the news. Most students are up to date with their current events and world happenings and they love to talk about it in and out of class. So how can you become news savvy?
Whether they are reading online newspapers, blog or user-generated content on social media sites, college students get their news primarily through the Internet. I first learned about Bin Laden's death through Facebook after someone had posted it as their status and I know people who get Twitter updates from online publications sent directly to their phones so they can stay on top of major news events.
Another way to gather news is by watching television. CNN or MSNBC is always on in the cafeteria or coffeehouse area at my school. My friends and I tune in to those channels but we prefer to watch "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report." These shows keep you informed without beating you over the head with hours of unimportant opinions and reports and they make you laugh in the process.
Of course, there is always the traditional method of gathering news: newspapers and other print media. When I'm on campus, I never have to look very far to find copies of the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal or a number of local publications. Not only are these print publications widely available to students every day but they are also free. Thanks, U of R!
So for all you incoming college freshmen, I would recommend you brushing up on your current events and for all you fellow college goers, how do you stay informed?

Spring semester ends and summer rolls in with its blossoming heat and sunny days. Summer classes are starting up, birds are gathering in trees to sing their summery tunes and some students are starting their job search...late.
I tend to start looking for a summer job in the early spring in order to secure a position but if you have a particularly demanding spring semester class schedule, you're not going to get this kind of head start. In an injured economy, it's difficult to find a job, especially in smaller college towns that are not located near metropolitan areas. Many businesses are often family-owned – there are lots in my college town – which usually eliminates anyone outside of the family for employment.
The best thing to initiate late in the job hunt is to check with your school. Ask around to see if there are any openings for summer help. The admissions office is a good place to start but dining services is also a great hidden opportunity. With the lack of summer students, your school will probably be looking for help. I joined up with a catering service through my school where I work weddings and class reunions and – get this – set my own hours.
The most important advice about any type of job hunting is that you cannot be picky. I cannot stress this enough. If you've got rent and bills to pay, you've got to make money somehow. Apply everywhere – gas stations, gift shops, restaurants, department stores – and if you've still got nothing, fast-food might have to be an option. At least fill out an application; you can always decline the offer if you find something else. With today's economy, cash-strapped college students can't afford to cherry pick. The race is on, time is ticking and money is waiting to be made.
In addition to being a Scholarships.com virtual intern, Michigan Tech student Kayla Herrera is a media coordinator for the Michigan Tech Youth Programs, a writer for The Daily News in Iron Mountain, Mich., and a writer for Examiner.com. She love a tantalizing, action-packed video game and can't get enough of horror movies (Stephen King's books always have her in their grip, though she prefers the old over the new). Writing is what she has always done, and that is what she is here to do.
Shari Williams
When applying to colleges, I had an "out-of-state" mentality: I wanted to go anywhere besides the very state I lived in. After applying and being accepted to several schools, the cost of out-of-state tuition caused my plans of leaving Maryland to come to a screeching halt. It wasn't until my second year of college that I found my escape when a friend of mine told me about a program called the National Student Exchange (NSE).
The NSE is a program that allows college students to go to another four-year university within North America for a semester up to an entire academic year. My friend went to Florida but I chose to go to California State University – Northridge and had one of the best years of my college life. It was a great opportunity for me to experience another part of the country (I've lived on the East Coast all my life) and it was also a very beneficial area for both of my majors, deaf studies and broadcast journalism. To top it all off, I could still pay my in-state tuition to attend the school!
If you are a college student who would like to explore, see more of the world or know what it would be like to live in another state, the NSE is for you. For me, it wasn't only a learning experience but also a life changing one. I would highly encourage anyone who attends a college involved with the NSE to participate in it. If you are interested in the program and would like more information about it, go to www.nse.org and see if your school is one of the nearly 200 member universities.
Shari Williams is a junior at Towson University with a double major in deaf studies and broadcast journalism and a minor in entertainment, media and film. With experience in public relations, a love for music and a passion for acting, she longs to be a jack of all trades. A Baltimore native, Shari is an avid traveler and opportunity seeker. She hopes to become the next face seen on the morning news or the voice heard over the radio.
Do you ever feel frustrated or overwhelmed with the amount of homework you have? Is it impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel? There are all kinds of resources at your college which can help!
If you're having trouble writing an essay or just want someone to look over your work, the writing lab is there for you. Writing lab tutors are trained to help you with everything from grammar and punctuation to strengthening your argument. They can even help you get started if you feel like you're having a case of the dreaded writer's block.
As the name suggests, math lab tutors can help you with all levels of math. I've even heard of students coming in to learn how to use their graphing calculators. Even as an online student, I have access to the writing lab, math lab and all kinds of services designed to give me feedback from the comforts of my own home.
So many students are reluctant to ask for help because they are worried it will make them seem unintelligent. Don't worry: Asking questions shows that you are conscientious, determined and hard-working. Teachers appreciate students who are curious enough about the material to ask questions.
Even though going to the writing lab or math lab requires you to spend time on your coursework outside of class, you'll generally be able to schedule one-on-one appointments with tutors to ensure you get the help you need. In my experience, hardly anyone ever came to math lab or writing lab, giving me plenty of opportunities to ask all the questions I wanted.
The best part about these resources is that they're free! You're already paying for college, so why not take advantage of something that won't dip into your savings for a change?

On June 9th, Alabama governor Robert Bentley signed what supporters and opponents alike consider to be the toughest law on immigration in the nation.
The law, due to come into effect on September 1st, requires police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect might be illegal if they are pulled over for some other reason. (It's also a criminal act to harbor or give a ride to someone who is in the country illegally.) Alabama businesses are required to use the E-Verify database to check the immigration status of their employees and businesses that employ illegal aliens could have their business licenses suspended or even revoked.
Opponents of the bill are honing their attacks on the fact that public schools will be required to check the residency status of their students. Jared Shepherd, an attorney with the ACLU, said he is concerned illegal immigrants will not send their children to school out of fear of being arrested. One of the bill's sponsors, Senator Scott Beason of Gardendale, said that particular section of the bill is intended to gather information about how many illegal aliens attend Alabama public schools, and the cost of educating them. In fact, the bill specifically states that "primary and secondary education" is a public benefit that does not require residency to be verified.
In the 1982 case Plyler v. Doe, the United States Supreme Court ruled that illegal immigrants could not be denied a public education based on their status. The writers of the immigration bill studied Plyler v. Doe previously, and the state bill contains no provisions violating it. Also, because of the way this bill was written, if one section of the bill is ruled to be unconstitutional, the rest of the law will still stand. "We want anybody who wants to make their home here to be able to do so," says Representative John Merrill. "But we want every one of them to do it the right way."
As a lifelong Alabama resident and current undergraduate student, I don't believe this law will impact me personally – I am a citizen and every international student I know is either part of an exchange program or recently obtained citizenship – but I can see how it might hinder illegal students from wanting to pursue or continue higher education. The real test will be when the law comes into effect in three months.
Kara Coleman attends Gadsden State Community College, where she is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and has received the school's Outstanding English Student Award two years in a row.

Engineering medical advances
J.C. Chiao, UT Arlington professor of electrical engineering, was featured in an American Public Media Marketplace (NPR) report on a Federal Communications Commission vote scheduled for today on setting aside part of the broadcast spectrum for wireless medical devices. According to the FCC's estimates, these machines could save over a billion dollars in health care costs. Chiao said: "if the device can be worn by the patient, or implanted inside the patient, after outpatient procedure, for example, endoscopy procedure, the doctor can send the patient home, and all the data will be continuously monitored."
Researching the single life
The Wall Street Journal quoted research by Wendy Casper, an associate professor of management at The University of Texas at Arlington, in a story about single people who, tired of juggling the pressures of work and personal life, opt out of high-powered, and often high-paying careers to have more time for family, friends and other outside interests. Casper found that for men and women alike, some managers still assume singles don't have anything to do but work and pile on extra duties and projects.
Athletic moves draw attention
Sun Belt Conference officials said Wednesday that UT Arlington's growth potential and its place in the Dallas-Fort Worth media market made it an immediate target for inclusion in the conference when spots became available through the defections of North Texas and Florida International, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. UTA administrators are expected to formally accept an invitation today, pending approval from the University of Texas Board of Regents, and begin competing in the Sun Belt beginning July 1, 2013. Several other outlets, including the Dallas Business Journal and KTVT/CBS 11's website, reported on the potential move.
Battling SIDS
A UT Arlington team is working on a device that they hope could reduce incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, according to report on WGHP/Fox 8 (Greensboro, NC). Electrical engineering professor J.C. Chiao, doctoral candidate Hung Cao and Heather Beardsley, a research engineer at TMAC, or the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center, have developed a sensitive wireless sensor system that can detect carbon dioxide exhaled by babies as they sleep. But more importantly, the sensors know when infants are not expelling carbon dioxide – quickly enough to allow intervention.
Hosting junior champions
Fox Sports for Kids broadcast a segment on a wheelchair basketball tournament held at UT Arlington in February. Some of the top players in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Junior Southwest Conference participated in the event.

Hemingway's France Images of the Lost Generation (Hardcover)
|Author: Winston Conrad
From the Publisher:
Ernest Hemingway's literary ambitions took root in France in the 1920s among some of the most extravagantly creative artists of the 20th century. Hemingway joined them and, with the publication of his book, The Sun Also Rises, which epitomized Paris during the jazz era became one of the most powerful forces in their vortex of talent and experimentation.||Winston Conrad's compelling text and contemporary color photographs in Hemingway's France are complimented by vintage black-and-white photos and illustrations that beautifully illuminate Hemingway's life during the "lost generation" years, during World War II and during his visit to France in the 1950s. Hemingway's France captures the charged atmosphere and the aesthetic of the time. Vintage photographs of Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and others?including those shot by American expatriates Gerald and Sara Murphy?create a sense of instant intimacy with the era. Some of these images are well-known, some are rare and some, including a 1940s portrait of Sinclair Lewis, have never been published before.

Diane can't wait to tell Will! It solves their financial problems! Or at least it would pay off their offices' balloon payment, if Canning weren't already planning to delay this one forever. As though she's never met the man, Diane assures Will that Canning will settle eventually after a huge judgment like this...
Peter pulls Alicia aside to tell her some dicey stuff: Basically, Jackie put 10% cash down on the Highland Park house, so he'd prefer to finish up the purchase and then flip it in a little while.
Alicia: "And you're moving in, right?"
Peter: "Yeah, but only to spruce up the place."
Alicia: "Uh huh. And why are you telling me this?"
Peter: "I want everything on the table and I don't want you to second-guess or freak out or anything. We're doing so great right now, with everything, and I don't want you to think I'm trying to..."
Alicia, verbatim: "Colonize our past?"
Peter: "Fair, I guess. So, Cary's back with you? He's a good guy. Wish him luck."
Will: "So you'll be working at this lunch table in the middle of a crowded corridor. Just until we figure out something permanent, or I've driven you insane."
Cary: "Perfect. Yes. This is the crow, this is where I will eat it."
Alicia pulls Kalinda's files, and out drops a Canadian check -- what they call a cheque, or sometimes a bank draught, as I remember from the old days of this very site -- for $21,000 from October of 2007. Her eyes bug out a little at the amount, but she doesn't know yet to be scared about Toronto. We do, because of Blake, because of Leela, because of her husband, but of course Alicia couldn't know about that part of Kalinda's life.
She calls the contact number and the guy is crazy sketchy, but not so sketchy that she doesn't... Immediately tell the guy pretty much everything except Kalinda's name. He is scary as hell, demands to know the person's name or at least the cheque number, and the scarier he gets, the faster she works on getting off the phone: Finally she says she'll find the cheque and call him back.

Great for anal play
Reviewed: January 28, 2015 by curvaceousC, a Straight Married Female
I bought this to go with Icicles No 25 Smooth Glass Butt Plug, having never used a butt plug before, let alone a glass toy!
This lube was perfect. You only need a little as it goes a long way. It "relaxed" me enough that both anal sex and using the butt plug are pleasurable.
On an unexpected note, my OH accidentally used this one night instead of our normal vaginal lube and we found it almost desensitised him slightly and he lasted 2 hours of vigorous sex!
He nearly drowned me when he eventually climaxed!
- Pros
- The relaxing and silky texture.
- Cons
- A bit hard to clean off if you use too much.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic lube full of unexpected surprises.

Best Lube Hands Down for Anal Play
Reviewed: December 9, 2014 by joshuaainsworth, a Straight Married Male
I purchased this lube to use with my wife after having used up our bottles of the Pjur back door comfort.
Whilst we found the former to be an excellent quality lube, this 'Analyse Me' silicone-based lubricant is far superior!
It's extremely long-lasting, silky smooth without any loss of sensitivity. This in spite of its 'relaxing' qualities, which must take effect almost immediately, considering I was all the way in within the blink of an eye, much to our mutual surprise.
Whilst we don't have anal sex every time we make love, it certainly commands a lofty position in our repertoire and this has become our favourite lubricant for us to enjoy our most intimate of acts.
- Pros
- Long-lasting, smooth texture without detracting from sensation.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect for the purpose!

Best silicone lube
Reviewed: November 25, 2014 by PrincessBabyKoala, a Straight Engaged Female
My partner and I bought this when we were first experimenting with anal play.
I was really scared at first, but as this product was advertised as "relaxing", I was put at ease.
The product really does relax you and because of its thick, silky texture, it didn't rub off easily.
This was a plus as it meant that we only needed to use a little bit, rather than keep applying it. Because of this, it is really good value for money, and as both my partner and I have sensitive skin, it's definitely a pro that neither of us have an allergic reaction when using this product!
The only downside would be the style of the bottle - it kind of pours out and if you don't concentrate you can end up using way too much or spilling it.
- Pros
- Nice texture, long lasting effect, didn't hurt the next day.
- Cons
- Pour top bottle.
- Bottom line
- Best product we've used so far.

OH. MY. GOD. Ok, I have loathed most of the dark erotica books I have read. Most have weak plots hidden under an over abundance of bad sex scenes. This series however is turning out to be AMAZING!!! I'm reading this series with as much anxiety as I watch American Horror Story every week! Amazingly executed! I will buy EVERY installment of this books! All I gotta say is the end of this book kicked me right in the head! Great characters, story, hot forced seduction! All of it is packing a punch that most other dark erotica seems to be forcing on their readers. More now!!!

No quiet dinner for Miss World's 1st day back in PH
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—From the moment she stepped out of the plane Thursday afternoon until the welcome dinner ended, Miss World Megan Young was continually smiling for the people around her and the reporters. Organizers had to beg the media men to let go of her to give her time to rest.
Young had to deal with back-to-back interviews after she arrived from London. She then graced the NBA Global game at the Mall of Asia Arena.
By 9 p.m., Miss World Philippines chair Cory Quirino was already pleading with the media to let Young rest.
At the welcome dinner with sponsors, however, the beauty queen had only time for a quick dinner and catching up with family and friends from the entertainment industry.
She was then whisked away by the organizers for her much-needed rest.
Present during the party, held at Solaire Resort & Casino, were Young's family, including sister Lauren, also a show-biz personality, who sat next to fellow actress Maxene Magalona.
Also spotted were political figures like former first lady and now Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos and former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson.
On Friday, Young will make a courtesy call on President Aquino, followed by an afternoon motorcade from Makati City to the Mall of Asia in Pasay City. On Saturday she will be in her hometown, Olongapo. Sunday will be devoted to television guestings.
On Monday she will visit charity patients of the Philippine General Hospital before heading to the House of Representatives and Senate to receive a Congressional commendation for being the first Filipino Miss World.

The enormous worldwide popularity of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, makes the Alcotts very eloquent spokespersons for any cause that they advocated. The living history presentation "An Impressive Lesson for My Children", connects the Alcotts personally to Abolition and the leaders of the Abolition movement and sends a powerful message to any audience. This is particularly true for young people, since the Alcott sisters were children in this house. At the Wayside, the impact, especially of the living history program, is increased by the fact that you are at the site where the family is known to have sheltered freedom seekers. To a less vivid degree, but also important, is the information conveyed on slavery and abolition at The Wayside on a tour of the house or an educational program.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania residents who received a Low-Income Home Energy Assistance crisis grant in the 2012-13 heating season will be receiving $200 in extra financial aid to use before this heating season ends in November.
The department had surplus funding from the last heating season and "wanted to make sure the money went to the people who needed it most," said Anne Bale, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Welfare.
LIHEAP provides grants to eligible low-income households to pay for home heating fuel. In the 2012-13 heating season, crisis grants were approved for more than 122,000 households in Pennsylvania, 76 percent of which contain a person who is disabled, age 60 or older, or has a child under 5 years old.
Each of these households will automatically receive the $200 supplemental cash grant, which is paid directly to a household's utility provider on the recipients' behalf.
Bale said 4,278 households in Luzerne County, 387 in Wyoming County and 1,899 in Lackawanna County will receive the grants.
Beverly D. Mackereth, secretary of Public Welfare, said in a press release the extra federal funding will especially help older adults and people with disabilities in paying their remaining utility bills or give them additional financial support for the coming winter.
"Now, people who experienced a home heating crisis last winter will get additional support to help them prepare for upcoming heating costs," Mackereth said.
The department is sending letters this week to the consumers who will receive the additional $200 grant payment in early September. The 2013-14 LIHEAP season is scheduled to begin Nov. 4, and the extra funds must be used before that date, Bale said.
Bale said people who find themselves in a crisis situation often had utilities turned off after the heating season was over, and they could use the additional grant toward back-charges that are still owed.

A sense of normalcy finally returned for the Ducks.
After a marathon shootout loss to Vancouver and an intense overtime victory against Stanley Cup champion Detroit earlier in the week, the Ducks got back to basics Sunday with a 3-2 victory over streaking Calgary at Honda Center.
The top line continued to produce and the penalty-killing unit squashed five of six disadvantages, including the final attempt by the Flames in the closing minutes.
The Ducks have earned points in seven consecutive games, the longest streak in the NHL, and snapped Calgary's league-leading six-game winning streak.
"We were better all around," said goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
"It's nice to score some goals and be offensive, but we still need to play a good game defensively. That's more our type of game -- 3-2 win. This is our team. These are the types of games that we need to play consistently."
The top line of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Chris Kunitz is thriving after a slow start. The three produced a goal on their first shift when Getzlaf banged in a rebound after Perry crashed the net.
Getzlaf assisted on another goal and extended his point streak to six games. Perry pushed his assist streak to seven games, one shy of tying the club record.
Getzlaf, Perry and Kunitz have combined for eight goals and 25 assists in their past six games after they had no goals and two assists in the first six games.
Coach Randy Carlyle knows why.

Neda official bends law to free self of blame in accident
IN A terrible accident that happened on July 17, 2012, I became aware of how bureaucrats in our government think they can turn the law upside down.
I was riding my motorcycle on the outbound lane of Leonard Wood Road toward Pacdal Circle (Baguio City) when I noticed a black Adventure vehicle slowing down on the inbound lane, just before the Neda compound entrance, obviously getting ready to make a left turn into the Neda compound. The driver and passenger clearly saw me approaching and appeared to be waiting for me to pass before making a left turn.
To my shock I saw the driver hurry up and make the turn in front of me with total disregard for me on a bike. In an instant of horror I realized that the Adventure had "gunned" its motor and blocked my route. I had to immediately decide whether to swerve hard left into oncoming traffic and face certain death or lay the bike down and crash into the SUV. If I tried to speed up, the Adventure would have smashed me from the side and I would not survive. In a fraction of a second I decided on trying to lay the bike down and avoid death, resulting in my bike crashing onto the right front quarter panel of the Adventure.
With the bike on top of me and me suffering broken ribs, the driver and passenger tried to move the Adventure farther into the Neda compound but only succeeded in hitting the gutter and grass at a 45-degree angle to the driveway that they totally misjudged in their hurried effort to turn. The passenger, one Leonardo N. Quitos Jr., regional director of Neda, and his driver frantically tried to position the vehicle in a manner that looked as if they had already entered the Neda compound to minimize their own guilty negligence. Only some kind onlookers helped get the bike off me.
With Quitos' driver's wanton disregard for traffic rules and total lack of compassion in causing an accident, this public official had the audacity to file false and misleading statements in the prosecutor's office, resulting in me facing charges of "damage to property" among other charges. I was shocked and dismayed upon learning this terrible attempt to put the law upside down while I was facing P800,000 in hospital bills and bike damages.
When the prosecutor was asked to reconsider based on evidence and fact, the charges were dropped and a refiling was done charging the Neda driver with negligence instead. It is a shame that the same charges are not filed against Quitos as he clearly dictated to and had power and authority over his driver's actions. Instead, Quitos lied and tried trickery to get the prosecutor's office to twist the law and tried to put the blame on me, the injured party in this accident! His power at Neda almost succeeded in causing me even more harm and damages. Shame on him!

We stayed here and enjoyed this "Home away from home". We came to write but we did so much more! We read a lot too. Couldn't get more relaxing.
The open space, both in the barn and out facilitated my ability to relax – I loved looking up at the sky through the trees and lifting my arms to each side so I could embrace this lovely space. I will be back, the next time probably with my husband – or we three women may be back for another LAPA writing workshop.
We stayed at this cottage last summer for a week, and had an amazing time. It was me, my husband, our 3 year old daughter, and my dog. There was lots to explore near the cottage. The owner was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed talking with him. Each afternoon we would head in to Ludington and do even more exploring. We loved every minute of this vacation. The cottage was nice and updated and we had plenty of space when the in-laws came and stayed with us for an evening! If you are looking for a relaxing way to spend your vacation, THIS IS IT!! The washer/dryer was a huge perk. And there is a ping pong table upstairs that we had a blast with!

Product DescriptionThis DVD is a documentary that takes us back to the early days of mountain biking in Marin County, when dope-smoking hippies, or hippies, or hipsters, or hip racers, or long-haired cyclists got together in their plaid and denim and junk bikes and raced them as fast as they could. Everyone has seen the pictures, many know some of the names, but here is the rare moment where the founders tell their stories on film. Sure, Gary Fisher and Tom Ritchey speak, but so does their onetime partner Charlie Kelly.

Children of the Corn: Revelation (also known as Children of the Corn VII) is a 2001 horror film directed by Guy Magar. It was released straight to DVD as the seventh installment of the Children of the Corn and was followed by Children of the Corn: Genesis.
A woman named Jamie (Claudette Mink) comes to Omaha, Nebraska after numerous phone calls to her grandmother have gone unanswered. Her grandmother's apartment block, which is built next to a cornfield, is empty, except for two young, and creepy, children. Jamie discovers that her grandmother has received a notice of eviction. She goes to see Det. Armbrister, who is not much help. While at the grocery store, Jamie runs into the same creepy kids. They don't speak. Jamie teaches them how to play a video game, which involves shooting zombies. As she leaves, another kid arrives, demanding a quarter from Jamie so she can play the game. Jamie later meets a mysterious priest, who does not say anything. She returns to her grandmother's apartment to discover a message: "Jamie go home."
Jamie questions the manager, Jerry, but he is so stoned that he is useless. Jamie enters the basement and finds a crop of carrots and tomatoes. She flees when she hears a group of children laughing. She runs into a man with a gun, who tells her to keep out of the basement. She later meets two more tenants, an old man in a wheelchair who swears at everyone and a young woman named Tiffany, a stripper. Jerry invites Jamie to a BBQ on the roof, she agrees to go in a few minutes. On the roof, Jerry takes a bite of corn and discovers there is blood inside. Then he is thrown off of the roof by the creepy children. Jamie goes to the roof and sees the priest watching her from below.
Jamie has a nightmare in which her grandmother was lured from her house by a strange voice. She was lured onto the railroad tracks and was hit by a train.
The next day, Jamie goes to see Det. Armbrister who reveals Jamie's grandmother was part of a religious cult when she was a kid. The kids, who were led by a boy-preacher named Abel, committed suicide by entering a tent and setting it ablaze. Only Jamie's grandmother survived. Jamie's grandmother's apartment is built upon the site of the fire. This is ironic, because Jamie's parents were killed in a house fire.
Tiffany returns home and, while taking a bath, she is attacked by one of the children who uses corn to strangle her, before taking her body. Det. Armbrister and Jamie arrive at the apartment, but don't notice Tiffany's body lying nearby in the cornfield. Later, after Det. Armbrister leaves, the old man in the wheelchair is attacked by the kids and is pushed through a stair balcony and falls to his death.
Jamie returns to the grocery store, which is ransacked. She spots a kid wearing her grandmother's hat and chases after her. It is revealed that the shopkeeper was decapitated. Jamie returns to the apartment, where she runs into the man with the gun. He reveals that everyone else has disappeared and that he is leaving. As he makes his escape, the kids trap him in an elevator and scare him so much, that he has a heart attack and dies. The kids then drag off his body.
The priest arrives and explains about Gatlin, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows, who is apparently the devil. The priest tells Jamie that her grandmother is dead and that if she does not leave, she too will be killed. The priest then leaves.
Some of the children arrive and take Jamie down to the basement, where there are now rows of corn growing. Abel appears and the children close in on her. One of the children reveals herself to be Jamie's grandmother and though she is a child, speaks in the voice of an old woman. Jamie runs for it, but Abel uses his power to prevent her from leaving. Cornered, Jamie faces Abel and the children, who ask her to join them. Jamie agrees, but it is only a distraction and she causes a gas explosion, but Abel is unscathed.
Abel uses corn stalks to tie down Jamie, but she is rescued by Det. Armbrister. They both manage to escape before the apartment explodes and destroys the corn as well. It is implied that the souls of the children were freed and Abel was killed.

Adam Tyner of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Director Guy Magar took the traditional no-budget, direct-to-video, paint-by-numbers approach, resulting in an uninvolving, unremarkable film that doesn't offer even the most fleeting glimpse of terror or suspense."[1] Total Film ranked it number 49 out of 50 in their list of Stephen King adaptation.[2]

Having clocked up three decades in his own barber shop,
Michael Shanks says he will not be retiring any time soon.
The 63-year-old only realised the milestone when the lease
for the premises of his business, Michael Shanks Hair Design
for Men, came due for renewal this month. Aside from a ''feed
of oysters'' at Best Cafe, he did not mark the anniversary,
on March 21.
Chatting to the Otago Daily Times while cutting hair,
he said he learnt his trade from the ''godfather'' of Dunedin
barbers, Frank Restieaux.
He worked as a barber for about 10 years before owning the
business. In some ways, little had changed. The most popular
men's haircut, known as the ''fade'', was essentially just
the old short, back, and sides.
The Exchange was much quieter than in the mid 1980s -
although there were encouraging recent signs of a return of
office workers. When he started, he was close to Whitcoulls,
then the site of the busiest foot traffic in Dunedin. The
area's importance had faded, which was not good for the
retail side of his business, but had not affected
hair-cutting, other than making parking easier for clients.
His clients were from all walks of life, and liked to talk.
As a ''rugby fanatic'' and stadium supporter, it was pleasing
the debate was ''finally starting to stutter out of focus,
thank God'', as detractors gradually accepted the stadium was
here to stay.
The city-wide debate over cycle lanes was now a popular
topic, while national politics would be on the radar all year
because of the general election.
He enjoyed the contact with people, and was ''nowhere near
ready'' for retirement.

Aparna Karthikeyan captures the late evening mood at Chennai's best-known leisure spot.
A Margazhi evening; the Marina is deserted. The service lane along the beach hisses and bubbles with raindrops. For ten minutes, it pounds the car's roof, splashes the windscreen, and sluices off the roofs of optimistic ice cream carts. At 7:30 p.m., it's over; the sky and sea separate, one ribbed white with waves, and the other smudged with soggy clouds. Manish, Prashant and Sivakumar are taking turns photographing themselves when I reach the big, white arch of the Anna memorial. They're from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, employed in Chennai, and love the Marina. "But we miss home food — halwa with dry fruits, litti-choka, rosogolla," they tell me and get nostalgic.
A man in an orange shirt poses next to the golden statue of Anna, under arches curved like tusks. "Hai, MGR maadhary nikaraaru," his family says, peeping into the digital camera's display. Two small boys, in brown monkey caps, ask, "Is he the one inside the samadhi?" pointing to Ilango Adigal's statue; their father asks them to hurry up and come. Two older boys, Veera and Kalidas, hurry up instead, carrying folded bedsheets; they're from Arakonam and came to the city 10 days ago to work. "We're going to sleep in a room, over there," Kalidas points vaguely to the right and vanishes between the trees. But he comes running back to ask me my name, occupation and the paper I write for.
A milky, round moon appears as I walk towards the memorial; behind me, the lights of Chepauk turn the sky sooty grey. Beneath a mandapam, three men photograph a large rock; one of them tries to lift it. 'Ada, ada, ada', his friends laugh when he can't budge it. Sixty students from a school in Andhra stand around Anna Samadhi. "We're on an excursion," their teacher Malliah tells me. "The Marina is very good; we also enjoyed visiting the museum, snake park and Mahabalipuram," he says, and blows a whistle to assemble everybody for a group picture in front of the tall, black pillar next to the samadhi of Anna, who died on 03-02-1969.
I walk over to MGR memorial with three women from Salem; they're barefoot, wearing the red of Melmaruvathur. Drawing their shawls closer, they tell me they were keen to visit the memorials after their pilgrimage. Coconut trees murmur, crickets shriek, and behind the red and yellow waterfalls, I hear the whisper of waves.
The memorial is a pearly flower, glowing even in its upside down reflection on the wet floor. Wind tugs at the eternal flame before the samadhi, making the fingers of orange dip and dance. Two men offer to take instant photographs; I decline, but watch a slim woman, in bridal finery, posing with her husband by the lawn. I ask if they're newly married; she buries her face in his sleeve and laughs. "Ten years married; two children. Unnakku thevai annan," their relative teases, as they walk away.
"Even though it rained, I think 10,000 people came today," Murugan, the security guard tells me. The memorials, open from 6 a.m. to 10. 30 p.m., attract walkers and tourists by the busload everyday, and a bigger crowd on Kaanum Pongal, he says. It is 8:45 p.m. when I walk past the garlanded statue of MGR, unveiled on 24-12-1997.
Headlights stain the puddles of Kamaraj Salai golden; the walkway lights along the beach glow like fireflies. Three children play catch around the Triumph of Labour statue; above them, four men — carved out of black stone by Devi Prasad Roy Choudury — strain every sinew to shift a rock. To the left, a red and white police banner warns tourists that the sea at Marina is very deep, and reinforces the danger with pictures of skulls wearing red coolers. I follow women who're walking barefoot over sand ground into a paste with rainwater; their silver anklets tinkle, my flip-flops squelch.
Banners advertising 'Two names write in one rice', seashells strung into necklaces, and heaps of wrung out sugarcane greet me as I walk into the 'Anna MGR Sadhuka Manaparappu Sirukadai Vyabarigal Sangam.' Many dialects of Tamil echo in the narrow space, besides some Telugu and Hindi.
Drawing huge crowds
Hyder Ali tells me that several lakhs of people will visit on Kaanum Pongal. "Sales bayangarama irrukum," he smiles. Kuppulakshmi's bajji stall is still open. 'We're here from noon till 10 p.m.; bajjis are very popular', she says. A small child runs away from its family, and stands near a shop selling plastic cars; his father drags him away, promising a treat later; I hear him crying for a long time. The blue Simpsons clock shows 9:35 when I go home; the beach is busier than it was two hours ago; and under a sky as black as pitch, the optimistic ice cream carts do brisk business.
