Flowerpot coral (Goniopora norfolkensis)
|Goniopora (1)
Goniopora norfolkensis is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed on Appendix II of CITES (2).
The appearance of this pretty coral belies its aggressive behaviour. Many individual coral polyps, (anemone-like animals that secrete a skeleton), form colonies which join together at the base of their skeletons. These colonies grow to form branches, columns, solid colonies that are dome-shaped, or colonies that adhere close to the substrate (3). Colonies may be metres across and sometimes whole sections of a reef face are covered exclusively by one branching Goniopora species (4). Each polyp has 24 long and fleshy tentacles that are normally extended day and night (3), although these quickly retract when touched revealing the massive skeletons beneath (5). Each Goniopora species differs in the shape and colour of their polyps, which allows their identification underwater (3).
Occurs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans; however, it is uncommon except at Norfolk Island in the western Pacific (3).
Flowerpot corals are most commonly found in turbid water protected from strong wave action (4).
Flowerpot corals, despite their delicate names, are generally aggressive animals (4). They are capable of developing elongated 'sweeper' polyps, like the sweeper tentacles of other corals, which can inflict severe tissue damage on a coral within their reach. It is therefore unusual to see other coral species growing close to the flowerpot coral (4), and it is believed that this adaptation benefits the flowerpot coral in the intense competition for space on the reef (6).
Like other reef-building corals, flowerpot coral polyps have microscopic algae (zooxanthellae) living within their tissues. Through photosynthesis, these symbiotic algae produce energy-rich molecules that the coral polyps can use as nutrition. In addition, the large polyps can use their tentacles to capture plankton to feed on, and thus are not as reliant on sunlight, required for photosynthesis, as some other coral species (5).
Flowerpot corals have separate male and female colonies (not all corals do) which release sperm and eggs into the water for external fertilisation. The fertilised egg develops into a free-swimming larva that will eventually settle on the substrate and develop into new colonies (4).
Flowerpot corals face the many threats that are impacting coral reefs globally. It is estimated that 20 percent of the world's coral reefs have already been effectively destroyed and show no immediate prospects of recovery, and 24 percent of the world's reefs are under imminent risk of collapse due to human pressures. These human impacts include poor land management practices that are releasing more sediment, nutrients and pollutants into the oceans and stressing the fragile reef ecosystem. Over fishing has 'knock-on' effects that results in the increase of macro-algae that can out-compete and smother corals, and fishing using destructive methods physically devastates the reef. A further potential threat is the increase of coral bleaching events, as a result of global climate change (7).
More specifically, Goniopora species are potentially threatened by the live coral trade. Goniopora is one of the genera that dominates the live coral trade for use in aquariums. Goniopora and Euphyllia species are traded more than any other genus, partly because they normally do not survive more than a year, and therefore have to be replaced fairly frequently. A small amount of flowerpot corals are also traded as ornamental carvings, and for biomedical purposes; due to the similarity in structure of coral skeletons to human bones, they can be used in bone grafts (8).
Flowerpot corals are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that trade in this species should be carefully regulated (2). Indonesia and Fiji have export quotas for flowerpot corals (2). In Indonesia it is one of five genera with the highest quotas, despite there being no scientific reason to suppose they are capable of supporting higher harvest levels than other genera (8). Flowerpot corals will form part of the marine community in many marine protected areas (MPAs), which offer coral reefs a degree of protection, and there are many calls from non-governmental organisations for larger MPAs to ensure the persistence of these unique and fascinating ecosystems (7).

Crist policy chief supported SB6 in House committee
Gov. Charlie Crist appears ready to veto SB6, the controversial teacher-tenure bill. But on March 25, his education policy chief, Terry Golden, supported the bill as a representative of the "Executive Office of the Governor." Golden filled out an appearance card -- and checked "proponent" -- when the bill was up in Anitere Flores's PreK-12 Education Committee.
The bill passed last week in almost the exact same form as it appeared at that March 25 committee meeting. The only change was an amendment by Sen. Evelyn Lynn to allow principals to take into account advanced degrees in their performance reviews.
Of course, in the intervening time, teachers have come out against the proposal in mass numbers. They're concerned about provisions that tie their pay to student test scores.
"The people are concerned about this," Crist said this morning. "I want to make sure I have every opportunity to listen to my boss, the people, and hear what their thoughts and concerns are."

Moving raw materials, moving finished products, big trucks using lots of fuel and emitting lots of greenhouse gas. FLOR could not profess a mission of sustainability without giving serious consideration to moving all our FLOR-related stuff from A to B to C and beyond. But things must be moved, so here are a few ways we try to minimize the impact:
Even if we weren't concerned about the environment, we'd still be perfectionists. And that means we're not so keen on having our products produced half-way around the world where we can't see or be involved in the manufacturing process. We like to keep an eye on quality. In person. So we keep things local. In our case, this means the State of Georgia. And since it just so happens that we're also sustainability-driven, local production limits flying our product and ourselves all over the world to get work done and get FLOR to you, which significantly reduces our transportation costs, emissions and, ultimately, our environmental impact.
Our parent company, Interface, has sponsored the planting of more than 87,000 trees since 1997 to offset air travel by employees in partnership with American Forests, a world leader in tree planting for environmental restoration. In addition, through our Cool Co2mmute program, employees and Interface share the cost of purchasing trees that will offset the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the fuel they consume. More than 3,400 trees have been planted through the Cool Co2mmute program since 2002.

ELKHART — Mayor Dick Moore said Monday, Sept. 23, he will propose phasing out the traditional compact sewer fees in favor of a surcharge.
Moore's newest proposal aimed at ending the compact sewer dispute will be received by council Monday.
Specifically, Moore is seeking to decrease the compact fee for all commercial customers outside of the city from the current 75 percent to 35 percent in 2014.
Under Moore's plan, those customers would have to sign on to the new policy, which would be known as a "Pre Annexation Fee" agreement.
Moore's willingness to eventually accept the use of a surcharge represents a significant shift since commercial customers and Republicans on council have demanded the city switch from a compact fee policy a surcharge based on usage.
A rate study for the surcharge would be conducted in 2017 and take effect in 2018.
The proposal will likely be assigned to a council committee Monday night for future consideration.

Well done Perdomo.
This is an excellent full bodied cigar. I rate this cigar among the best I have smoked. I am a large fan of Perdomo and like the ESV line for medium body and this smoke is more complex and mature. Highly recommended.2 1
Well done Perdomo.0 0
I ve only smoked one since recieving the cigars today. I must say they have exceeded the sales pich. I tend to expect the hype to be true and it rarely is. This cigar was smooth and flavourful. A real pleasure. I smoked it with my E & J XO brandy and it was truly relaxing. Thanks and kudos to Perdomo. Thanks to Famous smoke for the fast service and the price, they are worth it.1 1

I hav just read "The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari" by Robin Sharma. It i a very good book. Initially I thought that it is a book for the lost souls. But later on i found out i was one. Must read for everyone. Can i have a review of his (RS) book "Megaliving!". I want to read that also.
Hey guys,
The raymond ad is very good. The one with a son and father relation. The son finally gets the job in mindtree consultancy. Its a great ad. Touches my heart. I want to have a same feeling too.....
Hey guys,
I read the Da Vinci Code and it is awesome. But i really think that Dan Brown showed us the things which he wanted to. When one speaks abt facts they must be whole. By showing jus the half facts how can one decide.
Dan has just shown us a one side of the coin. Mind well he has done it very intelligently. Thus as a wirter he is just abt perfect. But as a historain( as u may call it) he lied. Just using facts how can he come to a judgement.
I m not a christian, so by looking at the book with a view of just another novel, it is fine. The novel part is very well written and guided. Kudos to the writer Dan Broen.
I think the music you are looking for is called "Summer Overture". It was performed by Kronos Quartet for a Movie called Requiem for a Dream. Please let me know if I got it right. Its available on most p2p softwares.
This one is prepared be me. (Atleast i have not got any claimer for it)
TRY DIEing or DIE TRYing
i think its worth nothing to live for a man who has given hope.
I m the latter part.

Hey guys,
sending financial aid is wrong. Like i said before, we can give physical aid. Can anyone explain why we should let our money to go to a country which we are not sure how will it use?
Giving the aid directly is good. But if they deny it is clean bull**** to go thhat way.
hey man abt the spiritual stuff! its long time we have been a nation we were. These are "dog eat dog, man eat man" times. Y dont people see the no of people who die in kashmir everyday due to terorrists or linked activities. It is a calamity. A huge one. It keeps on killing innoncent people.
Again, giving them the aid that they dont want(deny) is more than foolish.
No HURT intended.
thnx for contributing.
u can always edit ur post..!!
regarding ur point of view guess most of us wud b of a smilar view...
but wht can b done abt it..??
Hey pal,
I agree with u on some pts. Burt there sould be no reservation as such not even enconomicallay. How can u give reservations on the basis of economic background? There seems to be no reason as to why intellectual must be sacrificed.
If any help from the gov. is to be passed then it should be financial suport for the student. ( in respect of scholarship) Why to create one more discrimination b'cos a person is rich or poor?
Only Scholarship help is necessary. We all know that genious does what he must. So even a poor child is there and has immense talent he will reach his target. So in view of avoiding future discrimination, no reservation on the basis of marks should be declared.
A possibility if reservations on the basis of economic background are given then, people will try to hide their income (illegaly) and show themselves as poor. Hence considering economic basis will produce the same effect of forcing people to think of inferior things.
One amazing thing i remember is a strike of a village community shown on a National News Channel. Shockingly they initiated the strike so that gov will declare their caste as scheduled caste b'cos after that their childeren will get advantage of reservations. What a damn stupid thing. Actually their strike was not called of but it was succesful.
Man telling u this is all vote related politics in which such ignorant people are caught and they make the whole society suffer.
How many times we have seen students killing them by way of suicide b'cos athey could not get admission in good colleges. This is all due to UNFAIR POLICIES.
Its overtime time now Gov should call off the reservation policy. It cannot be done immediately. So the gov should start decreasing the quotas and gradually soak up all the reservations in order to maintain a healthy society.

Dietary changes
Avoiding food dyes and additives According to a recent report issued by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a small body of research (including a 1982 study by the National Institutes of Health) suggests that food dyes — and possibly preservatives, as well — can aggravate behavior problems in a small percentage of children with ADHD. You can test this theory in your own child's case by eliminating foods and vitamins containing colorings with names like tartrazine, Red 40, and Yellow 5 from your child's diet for several weeks to see if your child's behavior or mood improves. Many foods that contain these ingredients, such as cookies, candies, children's cereals, brightly-colored beverages, and soft drinks, should probably not make up a large part of your child's diet anyway.
Avoiding salicylate and food allergens A few experts advocate eliminating foods that contain the naturally occurring substance salicylate, such as apples, oranges, berries, apricots, and tomatoes. (A regimen called the Feingold Diet, created in the 1970s by Benjamin Feingold, an allergist, advocates eliminating foods that contain salicylate as well as food dyes and additives from the diet of children with ADHD. Studies on the effectiveness of this regimen have had widely varying results.) Several experts also believe that food allergies may aggravate the symptoms of ADHD and recommend eliminating foods they believe may be triggers, such as wheat, corn, chocolate, and eggs, but very little research has been done on this. If you suspect that your child may be allergic or behaviorally sensitive to any of these foods, talk to a nutritionist or allergist before removing them from his diet to ensure that your child is still getting all the nutrients his growing body needs.
Limiting sugar While many studies have examined a possible link between sugar and hyperactivity, none has found a significant relationship. Still, some parents swear that their children act out more after eating foods that contain a lot of refined sugar. It may be more likely that sugary foods contain other ingredients (food dyes, for example) that may worsen a child's behavior. In any event, it can't hurt to reduce the amount of sugar in your child's diet. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, children consume an average of twice the amount recommended. And while some people worry that using sugar substitutes such as saccharine or aspartame may have ill health effects, there's no evidence that they affect behavior in children with ADHD.
Limiting carbohydrates This theory suggests that a diet overly rich in carbohydrates can cause cyclical spikes and drops in blood sugar levels and exacerbate the symptoms of ADHD. "There's some evidence that kids with ADHD crave carbohydrates, particularly refined or simple carbs such as sugar and fruit, and in a small percentage of cases, eating these foods does seem to make the symptoms worse," says Lynn. Proponents of this theory recommend avoiding simple carbohydrates and replacing them with protein- and fiber-rich foods, such as meats and vegetables, but most experts don't subscribe to this strategy as a treatment for ADHD. "The best advice is to offer your child a balanced diet," says Lynn.

Coriolis, Gaspard-Gustave
April 7, 2010, 6:47 pm
September 21, 2010, 10:26 pm
Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis (1792-1843) was a French mathematician and physicist who discovered the Coriolis effect (also known as the Coriolis force) in 1835 that governs the movements of winds in the atmosphere and currents in the ocean. Coriolis showed that the laws of motion could be used in a rotating frame of reference if an extra force, called the Coriolis acceleration, is added to the equations of motion. The theorem enunciated by Coriolis regarding relative motions has found numerous applications, particularly in the case of motion on the surface of the Earth (e.g., the deviation toward the east of falling bodies, the apparent rotation of the plane of vibration of a Foucault pendulum, etc.). As a Professor of mechanics at several French universities, Coriolis was the first to derive formulas expressing kinetic energy and mechanical work. He established the use of the word 'work' as a technical term in mechanics, defining it in terms of the displacement of force through a certain distance.

Sorry, but just wanted to point out that every pregnancy and woman is different and it is entirely possible to show earlier than 19 weeks, even with a first pregnancy. I have known plenty of women who showed earlier than that mark. With this second pregnancy, I showed much earlier than my first, around 13 weeks. So its not accurate to say that you shouldn't show at 19 weeks, just depends on your body. So don't worry, you are doing just fine.posted 05/23/2011 by peanutwitt
**at 19wks SHOULDN'T be showing. Sorry!!posted 05/23/2011 by Emkaed
This is such a common question. Many young woman keep asking this and often are comparing their-selves to other women. The truth is, at 19wks you should be showing- ESP if this is your first baby. Your baby is still quit small... and if you haven't been over-eating- you are too! Even with my 2nd child I didn't even look pregnant at 19wks.. not even at 25wks.. It wasn't until 27wks that I started gaining weight and by 30wks I had a small bump. You are fine.. keep doing what you're doing! :o)posted 05/23/2011 by Emkaed
As pointed out, this all depends on your body :) Every pregnancy is different and every woman is different, so you may or may not show on the average time line. So don't worry! That's completely normal. I didn't really start showing until I was about 6 months along :)posted 05/23/2011 by peanutwitt
Hello I hade my first at 17.I was only 110 pounds. I did not start showing untill about then. Even at 9 months i was not that big. It really all depends on your body. Ask your doc if u start to get worried. :) good luck.posted 05/23/2011 by SweetMoments2Come!
Hi,your look quite young which means all your tummy muscles are still taut. This means that you may not show as early as some. I didn't show with my first until 20weeks as I was very fit and small to start with. Just make sure your eating really well and taking vitamins etc. Your doc will be able to tell you if all is ok.posted 05/23/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Tomorrow is Madera's Relay for Life at Lions Town and Country Park, and it must be said it would be difficult to find a more worth-while effort.
The committee that brings this annual event off is peopled by bright, energetic, enthusiastic individuals who work in harmony for several months to make it possible.
The concept is simple. Teams of walkers raise money by rounding up pledges and then walking all night around a track set up at the park. During the walks, various teams throw parties, hand out drinks, cook barbecues and make the experience fun and worthwhile for the walkers, who start to get tired after a while and start to feel like going home.
You don't have to be on a team to walk. A lot of folks, like your intrepid correspondent, have walked alone after dark around the candle-lit path. The candles are in sacks called luminaria, and each has written on it the name of a cancer victim.
The money raised at this Relay for Life and others around the country is turned over to the American Cancer Society, one of the nation's gold-standard charities. The society funds research into cures for the many types of cancers, and provides help to individual cancer patients who need it.
It also spends money on education so people can be taught to look for early signs of cancer and go see their doctors when they have a concern. I am well acquainted with cancer victims who are with us today because of the effective efforts of the American Cancer Society to explain what to look for that could be indicators of the disease.
Cancer isn't just an illness. It is a nasty monster that takes over your life and scares you like little else. Knowing that folks in Relay for Life, raising money for the American Cancer Society, can be a comfort — a life-saving comfort for patients and their families.
If you can't walk tomorrow, get out your checkbook, write a check to Relay for Life, take it to the park and give it to Charlote Brewer, the director. You'll feel better for the rest of the day.

UNDATED (AP) -- Green Bay starting linebacker Nick Barnett and New Orleans starting cornerback Mike McKenzie are both done for the season.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy says Barnett tore a ligament in his right knee during yesterday's 28-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. No timetable for surgery has been announced. McKenzie fractured his right kneecap in a 34-20 loss to Atlanta and Saints coach Sean Payton says the veteran defensive back will
have an operation this week. McKenzie came back this season from a torn ligament in his right knee and had regained his starting job before his latest injury.

What is Zeytun?
Zeytun is a grassroots initiative for durable academic exchange between the Netherlands and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for students of political science, international relations and diplomacy. The word zeytun, meaning 'olive' in different languages in the MENA region, has many symbolic senses that are cherished in this initiative. The olive has a reputation for being a strong and rooted tree able to survive for centuries and is at the same time a symbol of the richness and glory of ancient European and Middle Eastern and North African cultures, as well as of peace and goodwill. These features are exactly what Zeytun stands for: relations between Europe and the MENA region with a rich and glorious past, a peaceful and prosperous future and a strong nature able to persist for centuries.
Why exchange?
Europe and the MENA region have been of great importance to each other throughout history and remain so today. The two regions are connected to each other not only by geography, but also by a shared history, trade links, cultural ties, migration, security questions, as well as environmental issues. Many have recognized the importance of relations between Europe and the MENA region and have tried to bring the two regions closer to each other. Despite these attempts, there is still a huge gap in many fields, among which higher education.
Higher education produces the intellect of tomorrow and is in this respect of vital importance for societies, whether in Europe or the MENA region. If it is our desire to establish durable, stable and beneficial relations, we should first of all make the young minds in both regions actively engage with each other. The most effective way to facilitate this are academic exchanges. Exchanges not only make prejudices and stereotypes diminish, but, more importantly, lead participants to common values. The diffusion of a common European consciousness among participants of the Erasmus program in Europe illustrates this very well.
Our vision and values
Zeytun envisions greater academic mobility and increased cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe and the MENA region. Mobility and cooperation are considered important assets that contribute to the broader aims of modernization and innovation in higher education in both Europe and the MENA region, and to a healthy and constructive foundation for dialogue between the two regions.
Being an academic initiative, Zeytun attributes much value to diversity, transparency, and freedom in academics. It ensures that its activities are built upon these values and seeks to diffuse these values among its participants by signifying their importance.
Zeytun builds on a series of earlier exchange projects between the University of Amsterdam and higher education institutions in Iran, Syria, and Yemen. The first exchange was already realized in 2002 with the School of International Relations (SIR) in Tehran and has been repeated each year with new groups of students. After the successes with SIR, exchange projects were established with Sana'a University and the Yemen College for Middle Eastern Studies in Yemen in 2005-2006, with the University of Kalamoon in Syria in 2007-2008, and with the University of Tehran in 2008-2009. In that same year, a pilot project was realized in Iraq in 2008-2009.
Zeytun was established in 2009 with the purpose of developing these individual exchange projects into one comprehensive and durable exchange program, while at the same time offering a clear-cut model for academic exchange and creating a framework for gradual development of academic relations between Europe and the MENA-region.
In addition to the above-mentioned existing exchange programs, new exchange programs were established with the University of Kurdistan-Hewler in Iraq in 2009-2010, with the École de Gouvernance et d'Économie in Morocco in 2012-2013, and with the American University of Iraq Sulaimani in Iraq in 2013-2014. On the other hand, Zeytun's exchange programs with the Syrian and Yemeni partners have been suspended since 2010-2011, due to security concerns in these countries.

PALM COAST, Fla. – A sergeant with the Bunnell Police Department is facing multiple charges related to child pornography.
Michael Gerard Stavris, 30, was arrested on a felony warrant Tuesday night after a long term investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
According to the felony warrant issued March 25, Stavris allegedly created a fictitious profile on Facebook profile of a 16-year-old girl on November 25, 2012. The profile was allegedly using the profile to contact teenage boys and request nude pictures.
Investigators allegedly found photos of a penis posted to the fictitious Facebook profile, as well as evidence Stavris was pretending to be a student. Messages on the account requested photos of teen boys pleasuring themselves and solicitations to meet up behind a school for oral sex.
Stavris was an active duty member of the Bunnell Police Department when arrested and is facing two counts of computer pornography and child exploitation prevention act and one count of criminal use of personal identification information.
Stavris was released Tuesday night after posting bond $125,000 bond.

A poll conducted by the Georgia Credit Union Affiliates shows that Georgia consumers are 'hesitant to spend more', and in many cases will spend less money this holiday season compared to previous ones.
Thomasville residents say, though they know the economy is still struggling, the poll results surprised them.
Residents say the rising cost of fuel and food is forcing them to readjust their spending habits.
Area store owners say they expect sales to be about the same as last year's, and many say they will be holding special pre-Christmas promotions to help draw more shoppers.

What do you think of Prismo, as a character?
http://www.watchcartoononline.com/adventure-ti me-season-5-episode-1-finn-the-humanjake-the-d og
Prismo was a really interesting character, and honestly, reminds me a bit of high school, as he does possess a few characteristics of a high schooler. His attitude towards a "girlfriend" is very mush like the ordinary adolescent, and how he talks and acts towards Jake and that owl is very high school like.
Prismo captivated my interest and captivated me when he mentioned the story of the monkeys paw, which i have really loved as one of my favorite short stories. I was really touched and pleased that the writers will incorporated such a thing to the show, kinda like an easter egg for the older audience.
Even though he might be small in the story, he really is a well thought out character who does play a huge back-bone to the story of this episode.
I like to hear what you thought of this character.
2013-04-05 01:40:11
I found him very relatable, because despite his generosity towards Jake, willingness to play the politically correct game (after his "nasty" comment), and reassuring attitude in the face of grave choices, he has a generally cynical view of traditional relationships. Even though he can't really escape his loneliness fully and must bide his time with friends, he knows a typical romantic relationship would impede his personal liberty in unnecessary ways. Thus, he holds out, hoping to find someone who rejects the norm, as he does.
In a way like the average high school student, but he is more in depth with these relationships and can analyze social situations better then that of the "average" high school student. Some of them just don't really know what is going on around them, and just make things awkward when they don't even realize it, you know? You find very few people like that IRL, and it must be difficult for him to find someone like that....

Or he makes too many pics to finish any of them. I'm not sure which it is.
Procrastination is the artist's biggest bitch to fuck.
2013-04-17 02:04:44
If I could reflect on that episode a bit more, I think we'll find that it has a decent amount of information about the show's lore and philosophy. Jake evidently got hit by the idiot ball, but that was just to allow Prismo's character development, so I won't touch on that very strongly. Instead, what deserves more focus is the "Monkey's paw" idea. I don't think it was a mere reference; it seems that the writers really consider the battle between good and evil to be fated. When Finn wishes away the Lich's existence, he interferes with this fate, and instead must face the Destiny Gang, whose name is extremely important. They represent the fact that he must always fight evil in one form or another. As a bonus, Finn's attempts to stop them and save the other humans inadvertently creates the Lich a second time, suggesting fate touched both the death of humanity and the birth of the Lich. The same goes for the emergence of an Ice King, except Finn replaces Simon in this respect. In short, they could only beat the Lich permanently by outwitting him (with Prismo's help), not by cheating him out of existence.
Good analysis. When you make the point with cheating prismo out of his existence, it is like the second wish, where the mother wished for cash, and her son died. In a way this could also be referred to the third wish, when she wishes for her son back. This wish also cheats her son with the idea of existence, but instead of cheating him out of it, she cheats him into it.
I think i can see the parallel from the episode to this story now. The first wish with the money can be closely related to the wish where prismo wishes for the universe to never exist. When the wife wishes for the money, and they have a dead son, it is like they are trapped in a world where they cant do anything, and they don't exactly know what to do. This can be drawn closely with the time when Jake and Finn are in the room, wondering what to do with the remaining two wishes.
Now here is where it gets a bit messed up with the wishes. Instead of where the wish for the son to be alive, Lich is wished to be dead, and everything is messed up in the universe for Finn. Here, a parallel can be drawn in between the son coming to the door, and the messed up universe. These two wishes have outcomes where they are both messed up. The son is imagined to look horrible, and the universe is in a horrible damnation. I think the writers meant to symbolize the outcomes of Finn's universe with the outcomes of the wife's wish to bring the son back.
The third wish can be drawn to a parallel where they both undid the wishes previously made in both stories. Jake wishes for them to be home, and for all this to never have happened, where the father wishes the son to be dead, making sure the second wish had never come to be.
Yea if this IS indeed what the writers of the show advocated to symbolize and subtly reference to a short story, i must say that this is a wonderfully well written episode that is of appealing taste for both the young viewer and the more mature minded audience.
2013-04-19 22:47:07
Are you tired or something? It sounds like you're confusing the Lich with Prismo. The Lich is evil, undead, and has horns. Prismo is pink and grants wishes.

Youtube Poop: Spingebill's Downward Spiral of Crime
Friendship ruined everything. As you can clearly see, Cake fucks shit up by jumping dimensions and creating a black hole via Ms. Puffs eye socket, which caused the Higgs Field to collapse on its own, causing matter to be fucked up. 5:10
2013-04-24 00:40:45
You're right about friendship; shortly before Cake pops out, you can see filly Twilight summoning her from Spingebill's mouth.
That fucking whore. She controlled everyone to say no to the task for Spingebill to get into proximity with Ms. Puff to summon Cake, and Twilight used black magic to fuck shit up with the universe and the state of balance with matter.
She is a conspiracy, and part of the Illuminati, and ought to be revoked of her powers.
2013-04-26 01:01:29
To be fair, Spingebill shared some of the guilt from the start, when he tore of Patrick's head. He got what he had coming.
Eye for an eye.

Equestria girls will be hilarious.
It would,
2013-05-09 15:10:04
Only if you like dark humor.
Cyanide and Happiness is the best comic that expresses dark humor.
2013-05-11 13:55:35
See, C&H is aware of its dark humor. The writers of Equestria Girls will probably be blissfully unaware of how insipid their show is. It'll be a very different experience.
Wait are the writers of "Equestria Girls" the same as MLP? If not, then I might have to agree with you... But think of it this way... How do you entertain your target audience when they can't exactly comprehend intelligent jokes?

Sup dude. anything new?
Nope. You?
2013-05-19 00:44:50
A little something to break up your studies.
This song... I love it...
But I don't see how Applejack is symbol of fascism. If anything, Rarity is the closest thing to fascist, as she views herself higher than everyone else, and uses her sister. Applejack is more communist, as she farms and is the "common worker."
2013-05-22 01:02:22
I dunno man, communist propaganda often is aimed at farmers, but usually they're smart enough to oppose it because their land and livestock would all be claimed by the government. A lot of them, even in the countries that did become communist, foresaw a city idiot making them try to work infertile fields and setting impossible harvest quotas for them. I'd say farmers have the greatest tendency of any working profession to favor capitalism, but of course socialists often refer to capitalists as fascists as a sort of straw-man argument. Furthermore, as Rarity loves attention but feigns generosity at the same time, I think she would fit in well with a strong Communist Party, and thus made that video to defame Applejack's hard work.
I hope to see more of this when the time comes.
Communism is equal distribution of property. Applejack works on the farm, and gives everyone their fair share of apples in the town. Fascism is like an absolute power that strictly rules over the people under harsh laws. Rarity tells people to be civil and mannered and is very strict on that with her sister. Also, she acts like a higher power that thinks she deserves all the attention, and is like propaganda where she says she is very elegant, and should be paid attention too (like a cult of personality). I dunno. Classifying these characters as governing methods is a bit difficult.
That video was funny.
2013-05-27 14:59:33
How are your studies going?
Good. Just a week more of studying until tests.
Thanks for asking.

The thread has more plot than that of a clop pic.
2013-06-17 14:52:34
This should take less time to get a response out of you.
You are right.
2013-06-17 23:38:49
Supposedly legit. Muh jimmies.
Fuck too late.
2013-06-18 15:26:15
Aww, they deleted the thread already?
They could not just let valuable fap material to the public like that.
Greedy bastards.
2013-06-19 23:28:17
I'm getting the impression that 4chan deletes everything after a couple hours. Anyway, we'll know if it's legit within a few months.
In the meantime, we can debate which will come first: AAMFP, Banned from Equestria Daily v1.5, or season 2 of Korra.
I would say Banned from Equestria Daily v1.5, as it seems to be more easy to create, but I'm not too sure about the other two.
2013-06-21 23:21:51
Easier to make, sure, but the guy's doing multiple projects at once and doesn't get money from it, to my knowledge.
Other considerations: they still haven't announced an airdate for the start of Korra's new season, and AAMFP has been in development since at least last Halloween.
I still stand my ground that Banned from Equestria will come out first, as the other two are multi man tasks to complete; more men means more work.
If they have not even released an air date, it is still undergoing tests and is in construction, so yea, it will come later.
Wait where does he post the game though?

Life-size Paper Dolls
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 3-8+ years
Instructions:When my step-sister was young she created a life-size doll out of card-stock paper, drew on a face and dressed it in her clothes. This simple creation became a true friend to her and a valued member of her family. Sounds a little strange, I know, but the take-away here is that she had hours of fun with this life-size doll that she created herself. This is how she created the fabulous doll she named June Flat:
1. Get enough card stock, cardboard, or heavy paper to draw an outline of your child's body onto it.
2. Have your child lay on the paper and outline their body with pencil (I think the fact that the doll ends up being exactly their size makes it all the more fun).
3. Cut out the body and if you're feeling ambitious, detach the arms and legs and reattach with brads to allow them to swing. See http://www.justbrads.com/
4. Give your child paints/pens/crayons to decorate their new friend however they'd like.
5. Enjoy!

I Heart Alabama Music. (State, not Band.)
The Southern Coterie website recently posted about a new-to-me music duo called The Secret Sisters, a lovely harmonizing pair that hail from Alabama. Which made me think about all the good music that comes from the yellowhammer state. Hello Muscle Shoooaals? (I don't have time to hold your hand on this, if you don't know about Muscle Shoals wikipedia is waiting for you.) Now we all know my soul lives deep in the heart of Texas music, but I am very passionate about music from my New & Other Home State of Alabama…and there is a lot of rich stuff to choose from. So I thought I would rattle off some of my favorite Alabama acts, some old and some new, with my wildly subjective liner notes. (You didn't think I was just going to list them without commentary did you? Pshaw.) Here we go, musical acts with ties to bama…
Jason Isbell – we saw him at Springfest last year and I love his song 'Alabama Pines'. Somewhat creepily I follow him and his fiddle prodigy fiancée Amanda Shires on twitter so I feel like we are all the best of friends. I plan to live tweet updates from their wedding as I'm sure I'll be invited.
<Okay, it's already time for a short break. This is a good list and I believe down to my toes yall should read the whole thing but if you're in a rush and need a good tunage fix STAT, scroll down. I have some videos waiting for you. Now let's get back to my list.>
The Secret Sisters – love their covers of old honkytonk like 'My Heart Skips A Beat' and 'Why Baby Why' plus their original 'Tennessee Me' is simply lovely. Great new find. I am going to ignore the fact they sang on the Hunger Games soundtrack. Whaat?
Alabama Shakes – all the talk after SXSW this year. They are hot hot hot right now.
Drive by Truckers – ah, my favorite Truckers show was at Tipitina's in New Orleans 2006. I wore a red wig. I have no further explanation.
Hank Williams – I am hoping to roadtrip up to the Hank Williams museum soon as research for my next book which will be about…honkytonk music. More on that another day.
Maddox Brothers and Rose – an old school honkytonk family band from Boaz AL that made it big out in CA in the 50s. Essentially the godparents of rockabilly.
Jody Payne – Willie Nelson's long time guitarist who currently lives in Stapleton AL. He came out of retirement last August and we saw him play once again with Willie and The Family in Attmore AL. (The video I have down below of Jody Payne & Willie is topnotch vintage stuff!)
Tammy Wynette – technically she was born in MS but so close to the MS-AL line that Alabama claims her as well. I'm a TX-AL blend now too so I can relate. But then again, I have always related to Tammy. Lately I've been playing 'My Elusive Dreams' on repeat. Soooo good. Heartstrings good.
Louvin Brothers – more vintage honkytonk. I love their song 'My Baby's Gone' which is on the Crazy Heart soundtrack. Go download.
Emmylou Harris – born in Birmingham. Need I detail her fabulousness? 'Two More Bottles of Wine'… run don't walk.
Hank Locklin — "Please Help Me I'm Falling" is one of my all time favs.
Jimmie Rodgers – the father of country music. Known for a little old, much-covered hit "In The Jailhouse Now" as well as using the Hawaiian steel guitar sound.
Wet Willie – classic 70's southern rock band from Mobile no less! I can't get enough of their signature hit 'Keep On Smilin'. It just works.
ISLAND ESCAPISM (what a stupid term. I blame wikipedia.)
Jimmy Buffet – I like the old stuff from the White Sportcoat and a Pink Crustacean album like 'Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw'. A family roadtrip favorite in the early 80s. Family folklore also has it that we ran into Jimmy Buffet in a little dive in Snowmass in the 70s, sitting on a barstool playing to a handful of hippies. I was a mere tot so I have to trust that my parents are telling the truth.
Wilson Picket – hello romance.
Percy Sledge – a late nite jukebox favorite.
Blind Boys of Alabama – they've been around since 1939! That's staying power. (of course they get new members, duh.)
ALT (I do not mean Atlanta. I mean alternative because I don't know where else to put him.)
Will Kimbrough – Mobile native and former front man for Will & The Bushman. Now solo and based in Nashville churning out quality tunes for himself and others. He's a real musician's musician. (I always find that term is so pompous but I kinda see how it's useful. Like with Will Kimbrough for example.)
Nat King Cole – I can't be the first person to say Nat's voice is like velvet. And when I say velvet, I mean velvet coated in molasses. He was born in Montgomery, but moved to Chicago and truthfully had some dicey times playing in the South due to racial tensions. He was a groundbreaker on a number of levels, although progressive mental health messages in his lyrics might not be one of them. I do love "pretend you're happy when you're blue" despite the fact that it pretty much advocates a 1950s stuff-it-all-down-and-just-smile stepford wife approach to life.
Excelsior Band – Playing since 1883, they are the oldest Mobile Mardi Gras brass band and as far as I am concerned a state treasure. We love them so much we had them play at our wedding. They played 'Stars Fell On Alabama' and 'The Yellow Rose of Texas' back to back, just for us.
Of course I should mention Allison Moorer, sister of Shelby Lynne and wife of Steve Earle, who sang 'Soft Place To Fall' so beautifully on The Horse Whisperer soundtrack. Not to mention Beth Nielsen Chapman, The Commodores, Clarence Carter, Dinah Washington, and The Temptations. But I am running out of steam.
So that's it off the top of my head. What did I miss? I'm good, but I'm not perfect. Feel free to scroll down and leave a comment with more good AL music!
Here are some music videos to inspire you. If you have trouble viewing them on email or iphone or ipad, cuss YouTube and spare me the customer complaints. Just click through to my actual website to view them. Pesky YouYube, can't live with it, can't live without it. Enjoy!

First off, I've been reading these forums for the past week and I wanted to say, they're an excellent source of info. In doing my searches, I've found the same question asked many times, regarding cutting and trying to get stronger. It seems the previaling wisdom on this one is; it's possible, but not likely.
I've been lifting 3/4 times per week, for close to two years. I'm 37, 5' 11" and weigh 182. While I'm happy with what I achieved, but think I could have achieved more, and would like to do what I can to head in that direction. Partly, I think the problem was, I wasn't taking in near enough protein (almost zero supplementation). While my diet wasn't bad (My-O-Plex bar for breakfast, chicken salad and pretzels for lunch, lettuce with diced chicken, cheddar cheese and ranch dressing for dinner) I wasn't eating what a body builder "should" eat. So, my question is, can I expect to see gains if:
- I only eat my 15 grams of calories per pound (maintenance)
- I eat my 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound
- up my training intensity
- begin to supplement my diet with ON 100% Whey (mornings and afternoons), Nitrean (evenings), protein/createan/detrose PWO shake
- Make an effort to get my alotted fats from fish oils, natty PB and mixed nuts
Or do I need to up caloric intake to 17/18 grams per pound?

May 3, 2016
The Georgia Department of Transportation says, starting Tuesday the speed limit on I-75 will be reduced from 70 to 65 miles per hour.
The Georgia Code of Motor Vehicle and Traffic states 65 miles per hour on a highway on the federal interstate system which is inside an urbanized of 50,000 or more will be designated by appropriate signs.
"I'm not sure what the statistics are but if it helps save lives and cuts down on accidents on the interstate it's probably worth doing," said Valdosta resident Jimmy Holmes. "Five miles per hour is really not that bad of a deal. If it makes things safer it's probably worth the change.
Georgia is the sixth fastest-growing state in the nation and the GDOT says they are committed to making sure residents within the city limits are safe.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Mason Plumlee had 15 points and a career-high 17 rebounds, and No. 8 Duke held on to beat St. John's 83-76 on Saturday.
Ryan Kelly scored 16 points and Andre Dawkins added 14 for the Blue Devils (18-3), who led by 22 with 17 minutes left but shot just 30 percent in the second half while the Red Storm rallied.
Moe Harkless had 30 points and 13 rebounds for St. John's (9-12). He and D'Angelo Harrison each hit 3-pointers in the final minute to make things tense.
Harrison's 3 with 20.7 seconds left pulled the Red Storm to 79-75. Ryan Kelly followed with two free throws to put Duke up by six.
After Phil Greene missed in the lane for the Red Storm, God'sgift Achiuwa's free throw with 10.2 seconds remaining pulled them to 81-76. Tyler Thornton iced it for Duke with two free throws with 8.3 seconds left.

I posted awhile back about little Vanya, a special needs angel from Eastern Europe that friends of ours, the Oberhausers, are adopting. Kurt and I have contributed to their adoption fund. This family already has 5 children of their own, and they are adopting little Vanya. Mark is a youth pastor, and their hearts are so pure in desiring to give this precious little boy a Christian home.
Now, an ADORABLE etsy site, Leah Larae Baby, is helping with their cause! From now until March 31st, she is donating 20% of her sales to the Oberhauser family. I'm telling you--this is adorable stuff. Just look at some examples:
ADORABLE!!!!!! And the prices are really reasonable! I urge you to pick something up for your kids or as a gift, or both! Help support this precious family and their soon-to-be family member, Vanya. It's a win-win situation!
Okay, there's one more thing! This is from the Oberhausers:
The owner of this on-line shop contacted us today and offered to donate $1 for each time someone tweets, blogs, or uses facebook to promote this sale (up to $100)! So, if you feel so led, please promote this sale by using this link on your facebook account, blog, or Twitter account:
Then, send a link of your "promotion" to the following e-mail addresses:
Thank you for helping bring Vanya home! Adopted for Life, The Oberhausers
I am promoting this on Facebook, Twitter, and my blog, because it's SUCH an easy way to help this family! They truly understand that we are adopted in Christ (Galatians 4:4-6), and as Christians it is our responsibility to care for the orphans and widows (James 1:27).
To see the Oberhauser's Facebook group, CLICK HERE.
To visit their adoption blog, CLICK HERE.
So GO SHOPPING and don't forget to email the two addresses above if you advertise--it takes almost no time to advertise and it will help bring Vanya home!
Also, I'm just now catching this at the last minute, but we know another family, the Underwoods, who are also starting the adoption process. They are selling some really neat t-shirts! Check out her blog HERE. You have until Friday!
We love you, Vanya and Baby Underwood!

Wallace grabs the spotlight with win
By Rupen Fofaria
Special to ESPN.com
Only two drivers among the top 10 in NASCAR's Nextel Cup Series standings have been racing at this level since before 1999. So one would think it were time for another round of Young Gun Fever.
But nowadays, it's become so commonplace, so routine to watch the rookies and 20-somethings perform at a high level that it hardly bears mentioning.
In a reversal, what does warrant praise is when a guy like
Rusty Wallace
-- after enduring a constant barrage of questioning about the younger generation while scratching his head about his own shortcomings -- keeps his nose to the grindstone and pounds out a victory for the first time in three years.
"It's nice to see a guy like Rusty get back to victory lane," fellow veteran
Dale Jarrett
said after Wallace's win in Sunday's Advance Auto Parts 500 at Martinsville Speedway. "There's always a lot of talk about the young guns, and there's good reason for that. ... You can't forget about (us), though."
Wallace, 47, has seen the Young Gun-ification of NASCAR up close. His teammate,
Ryan Newman
, has been at the forefront, winning eight times last season. Meanwhile, Wallace was earning a rep around the garage as a grizzled vet who was hard to work for, constantly looking to replace weak links.
All of this took place as a revolving administration at Miller Lite wondered: (1) How popular could a guy like Rusty Wallace be when all they're hearing about is
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
? and (2) Why wasn't Miller Lite ever served in victory lane?
"I questioned myself a little bit," Wallace said, as one, two and then 105 races went by without a win. "I said, 'Man, this schedule is wearing me out.' I felt like I was driving as hard as I could, and I thought if we could get this right or that right we'd get back in victory lane.
Wallace is the oldest driver to win a Cup race this season.
"But, you know, I'm not a quitter. I've never quit. If anything I just keep moving things around to compliment what I've got to have."
Needless to say, there was a tremendous amount of pressure on the Wallace, as there has been on many of the aging vets who are past the age when they can capture the hearts of teenage girls and imaginations of teenage boys. What these guys have going for them is a loyal fan base built from past success and whatever new fans they can conjure with success in the present.
That's why Rusty's win on Sunday was so important.
"We needed this one," he said. "NASCAR's changing fast and if you don't remind them who you are every once in a while the new (fans) might not know you."
Wallace won't be a name racing people don't know, though. With his victory on Sunday, he passed Lee Petty for sixth on the all-time wins list. And his fans were there, just as they'd been through his recent struggles, to cheer him on.
"It's been so long, and we've been so close," Wallace said. "The fans have been behind me for so long, and this one is for them. We finally got this Miller Lite Dodge in victory lane like it deserves to be."
Wallace also finally answered the questions pressed upon him as of late: How popular could he be? Ask the thousands of screaming fans at Martinsville last weekend. And why isn't Miller Lite served in victory lane?
It is. It's this week's special.

League MVP Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett were selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team on Monday, along with Marcus Camby, Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan.
Garnett, who helped the Boston Celtics to the league's best record, was chosen for the ninth time. The forward was chosen Defensive Player of the Year last month.
Bryant, who earned his eighth selection, and Garnett each received 24 first-place votes from the league's 30 coaches. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players.
Garnett led a defense that held opponents to 90.3 points per game and a league best .418 field goal shooting percentage.
Camby had a league-leading 3.61 blocked shots per game for the Denver Nuggets and was second in rebounds (13.1 per game). Duncan, on the team for the 11th time, and Bowen, making the team for the eighth time, play for the San Antonio Spurs.
The second team is Shane Battier of the Houston Rockets, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, Tayshaun Prince of the Detroit Pistons and Raja Bell of the Phoenix Suns.

I have always maintained that the best people on our team–those who bring the most creativity and fresh ideas to the table–are the ones who have varied and passionate interests outside the office. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that the world (or at least the workplace) conspires against us being able to develop such interests.
""Many years ago, our company founder, Al Conklin, sold a new twin-engine business aircraft to a very successful entrepreneur. He had established a bit of a rapport with the individual and, after the sale, asked him straight out, 'How can you justify the cost of this airplane?' His reply? 'What is the cost of a divorce?'"–David Wyndham, president, Conklin & de Decker"

We asked the Superdiners: If your friends aren't hosting a Super Bowl party, what bar or TV-owning restaurant would you send NFL fans to on game day?
Well, Las Vegas is the best place to be if you're not going to the game. For staying in town, I like the Tap Room (1269 Garnet Ave., Pacific Beach. 858-274-1010 or sdtaproom.com). Get there early for tailgate specials and a great spot near one of the 10 HD projectors. If there is a little too much "bro" for ya, head to The Ruby Room (1271 University Ave., Hillcrest. 619-299-7372 or rubyroomsd.com) for a nice dive-bar rendition, complete with after-party.
My pick would be Club M at The Grand Del Mar (5300 Grand Del Mar Court, Carmel Valley. 858-314-2700 or thegranddelmar.com/club-m) because of their four 85-inch flat-screen televisions and chef Ernest Lopez's global tapas menu.
I miss Seau's (RIP No. 55), but Buffalo Wild Wings (555 Broadway, Chula Vista. 619-407-6205 or buffalowildwings.com) is also a great spot. It has a ton of TVs and enough wings to feed a small Super Bowl army. Other than that, Hooters (various; hooters.com) or Barleymash (600 Fifth Ave., Gaslamp Quarter. 619-255-7373 or barleymash.com) are worth checking out.
Barleymash has a man cave in the restaurant basement called Ginger's. Enough said! OK, maybe not, because it's small and might be crowded. But the spacious upstairs is good, too — lots of TVs with a raucous, engaged crowd of peeps enjoying really good food. Since it'll be Super Bowl Sunday, try something different like the El Pollo Borracho: Michelada-braised chicken thighs, pepper jack cheese, salsa fresca and tequila-cilantro aioli. Or one of their "barley pies," like my fave, the Salami Pie with artisan salami, pepperoni, red sauce, fresh mozzarella, herbs and roasted garlic.
For a great Super Bowl, I abide by the Rule of Three T's: True North Tavern (3815 30th St., North Park. 619-291-3815 or truenorthtavern.com), Tater Tots, Taps, Tremendous TVs and Tater Tots. Was that more than three T's? And did I mention the Tater Tots?

|What else? Oh wait, duh, she wasn't killed!
|Felix convinces Jane to let Bree marry him. They wed and she becomes a member of the Volturi
|Jane agrees to let the Cullens have her. They train her to turn vege. All goes well up until BD. When Bella is giving birth Bree turned. Rosalie and Jacob had to restrain her from killing Bella and the baby. Edward carried on to save them and did but during BD Bree took many swips at Renessme. So Jacob, Bella and Edward took her down and took her to Denali.
|Diego, Bree and Fred live happily ever after!!!! The End!!
|to run while he and his family fought off the rest of the Voltrui guard. Bella ran inside of the Cullen house andhid in there while she watched the fight. The Cullens killed the Volturi and burned their bodies. Bree on the other hand ran right the way to Vancouver and found Fred. She told him all about what happened and how Riley had killed Diego. Fred gave her a comforting hug, thhat crushed her. It turned out that Fred was really on Riley and Victoria's side and he killed Bree. Fred ran all the way back to Forks and broke into the Cullens house. He drank Bella's blood and then Edward and his family killed Fred. Edward thought that it was too late for Bella, but there was still a lot of blood in her. Edward sucked the venom out of her like he did in Twilight and Carlisle treated Bella's wounds in his home. Bella now had two crescent-shaped scars on her - the one on her hand from James and now the one on her neck from Fred. Edward is so angry that Bella was bitten again that he and his family and Bella leave Forks and go to live in Denali. Edward marries Bella there (in secret) and changes her into a vampire, without making love to her first. 6 months later, Bella finds the remains of Bree Tanner and mourns her in silence.
|Bree Lives and falls in love with one of the Quileutes shapeshifers and marries him and they live happily ever after.
|Bree comes back as a ghost and haunts Edward's pet.
|Since Bree was ignorant of the rules,the Volturi spare her on the conditions that ONE: the Cullens are 100% responsible for her AND if she makes another wrong move she will be dealt with according to law. So Bree stays with the Cullens until the end of Breaking Dawn when she joins the Denali family and while there in Alaska to her surprise she meets Fred who himself became a vegetarian and they become mates so Bree is not alone
|Diego actually was on a spy mission, and he and Bree escape with Fred just before the final fight and form their own coven.
|Diego and Bree leave without talking to Riley and live happily ever after.
- Feel free to keep the list going!
|Jane decides that Bree has to be killed but before it happens The Cullens attack the volturi but they manege to escape. Bree tells The Cullens about the army and Diego and Fred and they let her go find Fred. Bree goes to Riley Park and convinces Fred to go with her and join The Cullens. They do the veggie diet and they discover that Diego never died, he escaped but had to lie low. Bree finds him and he too joins The Cullens. They both fall in love and live a happy life with The Cullens.
|Diego never goes to talk to Riley, they befreind Fred, and all three of them run away to travel the world.
|Bree sees Riley killing Diego, and runs back to the house. Riley gets there and he never noticed Bree saw. Bree begins plotting her revenge to him ASAP. They make a plan with Fred that Fred will simply stand near Riley and make him gag on Victoria. Victoria gets really mad and storms off to fight Edward while Riley runs after her. After the newborn fight, Bree and Jane meet and realize they're kind of close ages (In human) and become BFFs and they leave to go torture Rily and Victoria. Fred and Bree fall in love and go live somewhere and later come back to help in Breaking Dawn
|Volturi take her to their club
|Bree's Sister Cassie Tanner is putting up posters to find Bree when she is hit by a car. Cassie nearly dies, but Fred changes her (lets say he has control). When Cassie finds out that Bree is dead, she demands to get revenge. Fred takes her to the Cullens right as they get ready for the Volturi war in BD. They ACTUALLY FIGHT (holy crow!) and Afterwards, Cassie and Fred live happily ever after
|Bree kicks Janes ass
|bree kills the volturi and stays with the cullens until bd bella dies during birth and instead of rosalie getting renesmee bree takes ger and finds diego riley never killed him and they live happily ever after with renesmee
|Just as Bree is about to be killed, the Cullens attack. Choas ensues and Bella gets stolen by Alec. Jane, Felix, and Demetri are killed. Bree lives. Bree runs off and finds Fred and Diego alive and Edward runs off all depressed again. The Cullens, Bree, Fred, Diego, and the wolves set off to find Bella. Meanwhile, Bella is being viciously raped by various Volturi members. They (the Cullens) team up with other vampires. They fight the Volturi and the Cullens win. Bella is pregnant with Caius vampire spawn and Renesmee is born. Alice changes Bella because Edward is still gone. Edward then comes back, and Renesmee falls in love with Fred while Jacob and Leah randomly imprints (when Leah's decides to stop shifting and she can have children again)
|Bree reveals she has this kick ass power and she joins the Volturi with Fred
|Whilst hunting with Fred and Diego they see "her" with Riley and overhear their plan. They decide to run away to Forks to warn the Cullens and then they find them and tell them that "her" is coming with a army. They stay with the Cullens and help to fight. They win and the "black coats" come which is the Volturi and don't let Felix kill the threesome and they go back to Italy. The threesome say goodbye to the Cullens and head to Canada.
|Jane tries to kill Edward, Bree punches her in the face and Edward and Bree run off into the sunset being very sparkly and leave crybaby Bella sniffling at home

Take 2 of the unpunched cups and punch only one hole near the rim. With 7 punched cups, fasten together side by side. Take each of the 1 hole punched cups and attach to each end of the 7 attached cups. Take the 2 cups on the end and bring them together, forming another circle, that will arc out, punch hole in both cups and fasten together. These 9 cups should fit on top of the 12 previously fastened cups. With the hole punch, fasten the 9 and 12 grouping cups together. Take 4 unpunched cups and punch 1 hole in each near rim. Take 2 of these cups and fasten together. Fasten other 2 together. Set these on top of the hole left in the 9 cup grouping so they fit. (They will not be exactly opposite each other. Make holes in each of the cups where they join the 9 group. Fasten or hot glue together. This should form half of the ball. Repeat to form other half.
Putting lights in
(Holes should have already been drilled before putting cups together.) With open end of ball facing you put light (at opposite end of plug-in) in one of the holes in the 4 center cups. (At this point, begin putting garland (gold or red or any color) along with the lights. This helps to hide the wire and really sets the ball off.) Continue until lights have been put in all 25 cups. When you do the other half, start with the light closest to the plug and put that into one of the 4-cup cluster and work your way out. The last one will be a little hard to manipulate as there isn't much wire to work with. Making sure plug and lead in wire is outside the cups, set the first half on top of the second half fitting into each other. Punch holes where cups touch and fasten together. Where wire comes out, put 2 more holes in the tope of two joined cups. Thread coated wire, or fishing line through these and make a loop to hang the ball with.
Tie the wire and hanger together near the cups with red velvet 1/4-inch ribbon (this is optional). Some also make these with the top 4 cups omitted, and figuring out another way of hanging it, probably a hole put on each side of the ball and 4 lines coming up to hang it with. Fasteners take longer, but the ball is sturdier.
