Climbing and skiing glaciated peaks requires a lot of gear. This is the baggage pile for Sarah, Andy and I. We'd meet Mark in Portland after he flew in there from a wedding in Minnesota.
We arrived in Portland on Saturday afternoon and drove in our rented Toyota Sienna minivan towards the Paradise entrance of Mount Rainier National Park. When we arrived in the park, things were drenched and puddled. We weren't excited at the prospect of having to setup camp in the rain that night and pack up wet stuff in the morning. So we found a cheap motel in Ashford for the night. It had a covered deck affording us a dry place to pack up in the morning.
All loaded up and ready to climb the mountain
But first we had to obtain our climbing permits. Permits are good for a calendar year and cost $43 each after a $13 increase from previous years
Packing up in drizzle in the Paradise parking lot. It was hard to dress for the day because it was wet and humid but we'd be exerting ourselves ascending the lower parts of the mountain from 5,400' to our high camp at 9,200'
Due to an epic snow year in the NW, we were able to skin from the parking lot saving us from carrying our skis/board on our packs. We started hiking at 11:00am
Navigating in the clouds was tricky and exciting. We relied heavily on our altimeter watches and, eventually, Andy's GPS. Our first order of business was locating "Glacier Vista" about a mile into the ascent and then skiing down this slope a few hundred feet to the eastern edge of the Nisqually glacier
Once on the Nisqually glacier it was time to rope up in case one of us were to accidentally fall into a crevasse. None of us did.
We roped up in two teams of two using 30m x 8mm ropes
Once across the lower Nisqually glacier, we located the steep chute we needed to boot up to reach the Wilson glacier. The snow was very slushy at this point in the day and ascending this chute was difficult, sweaty work
As we ascended the gully to the Wilson glacier, we heard what sounded like a waterfall above us in the clouds. Shortly thereafter we saw a river of slushy snow working its way down toward our right. The river of slush flowed past us for the next few minutes
Following intuition and some way points Andy had found online, we continued up to the western edge of the Wilson glacier to reach a ridge at about 7,500'
As we ascended the ridge and neared 8,500', we began to break out of the clouds
And just like that, we were out of the clouds with a stupendous view of the upper parts of Mount Rainier. It was very cool to have ascended through the clouds not having any real idea of what our surroundings looked like and then to suddenly get this magnificent view
We then got a great view of nearby Mount Adams (ca. 12,200'), complete with lenticular cloud shrouding its summit
We still had about 700' of ascending to do to reach our camp for the night
Mount Adams rising through the clouds
Skinning up the ridge towards our high camp. The standard and most-climbed route on Mount Rainier, the Disappointment Cleaver, is the ridge on the right side of this photo. We saw hundreds of climbers on that route from our position.
From this vantage we had a very good view of our route to the summit, the Fuhrer Finger. It's the snowy couloir going from right to left (into the shade) in the right portion of this photo
Our camp was on a rocky outcropping on the ridge at 9,200'. There was one other party of five near us on the ridge. We arrived at camp around 6:00pm making for a seven hour ascent of 3,800' vertical feet from the parking lot to high camp
Room with a view! For the rest of the night and through the next day, we'd be above a solid cloud deck
Happy climbers!
We immediately got busy melting snow for water to refill our bottles for the next day's climb to the summit
Our position felt pretty magical
The four of us bunked in the megamid. Tight quarters but we'd only be spending one night of 5 hours or so in the shelter
After hitting the sack around 9pm, I woke up at 11:30pm and poked my head out of the side of the 'mid to see the moon rising above the sea of clouds. It was much cooler looking than this photo shows.
None of us slept particularly well that night and the alarm went off at 2:15am. The waning quarter moon was super bright and we didn't really need headlamps for our climbing later that morning
Getting ready in camp. We left camp around 4:00am
We traversed the Wilson glacier to get into the bottom of the Fuhrer Finger. Once in the finger we found a nicely-established boot pack leading up the couloir. Eureka!
The pink color of the sky as the sun came up was phenomenal

The moon and Mount Adams
The snow climbing in the Fuhrer Finger couloir was quite good. The existing steps helped quite a bit but eventually ran out leaving us to some front-pointing with our crampons for a short stint. Maximum angle in the coliour got to about 40 degrees
From the top of the Fuhrer Finger was ascended left to reach the ridge marking the western side of the Nisqually glacier. We noticed the party ahead of us, that had left camp around midnight, was taking a line up the middle of the Nisqually glacier. This was good news for us because we hoped to ski the glacier on our way down and their presence out there helped affirm there was a passage through the middle of the glacier
As we got to within 1,000' of the summit, the wind picked up and the going got tough in that we felt we were working very hard to continue our upward progress. A tough day the previous day, a poor night of sleep, a strong wind and inconsistent snow made for strenous progress
We moved from the ridge out towards the Nisqually glacier to reach the summit crater
At 10:30am, we got to the edge of the summit crater. From here it would be a relatively short and flat jaunt to the true summit
Sarah and Andy booting up the final bit of the summit crater to the summit
Summit! We stood on top at 11:28am. Wind on the summit was out of control (as you can tell by all everyone leaning into it here). We spent only about a minute on the summit because it was much too cold and windy to be comfortable. We estimated sustained wind of 60+ MPH and later heard none of the guiding companies had been taking their clients to the summit for the past three days on account of the strong winds
We saw no one else on the summit or in the summit crater and the party that had started out before us from our high camp had turned around at 13,000'. We had the top of Washington to ourselves
We beat feet off the summit ASAP but I still managed my summit self portrait
The summit crater has a number of fumaroles--tunnels where steam is escaping from vents below the snow and ice surface. This was my third time up Rainier but I had never found one of the fumaroles before. I did this time. It was a nice refuge from the wind and the warm, moist air coming up from below was welcomed
And then began our 9,000' feet of skiing descent to the parking lot. The upper mountain was rough and inconsistent sastrugi snow but got better and better as we descended
We skied out into the middle of the Nisqually glacier because skiing down our ascent route wouldn't have been possible. Riding down unknown territory in the middle of the glacier was exciting

Sarah ripping turns down into the Fuhrer Finger
Mark rides the super nice corn in the upper finger. We skiied into the finger around 12:45pm and conditions were perfect at that time
Andy is stoked in the middle in the finger
Perfect buttery corn throughout the Finger
We skied back to our camp, melted more snow for water, tore down camp and then continued our ski back down to the parking lot
We opted to follow other skiers and tracks down the middle of the Nisqually glacier instead of skiing the same route we had ascended. By this late afternoon time, wet sloughs were the norm on the steeper pitches
We skied by this really cool and intimidating ice fall on the Nisqually
At about the 7,000' level, we were back in the whiteout conditions of the clouds. But a nice skin and boot track across the lower poriton of the Nisqually made route finding easy
A short bit of flat to uphill skinning to get back onto the main trail back to the lot was all that was required to skin. We were able to ride the rest and got back to the lot around 4:30pm. Basically we had a 9,000' ski descent from the summit ot the parking lot that day. Suffice it to say, that sure beats walking.
A quick stop at the Tacoma, WA REI store yielded a great view of Mount Rainier from the parking lot
Andy tracked our ascent and descent route with his GPS and then put it into Google Earth to yield this fine image of our outing. Photo: Andy Thien

BRENHAM, Texas -- The crowd was loud in the Blinn P.E. Building Thursday night, and for good reason, the Blinn College volleyball team reeled off its 10th-straight victory.
The Buccaneers, who haven't lost a match three weeks, beat the Wharton Lady Pioneers in straight sets Thursday, 25-23, 25-15, 25-16, behind a strong serve receive and back-line performance.
Blinn righted its play from the first set and played more dominant volleyball in the second and third sets with an improved defense that had 42 digs and a front line that combined for 16 blocks.
"I thought we played a little flat in the first set, but we turned it around in the second and third sets and got better," Blinn coach Erin Mellinger said.
Leading the charge on the front line was sophomores Bruna Evangelista and Kariana Castanon-Hill, who each combined for four assisted blocks. Jaeda Allen contributed three more. The defense had 42 digs, 10 more than Wharton, led by freshman libero Alyssa LaMont's match-best 18.
Sophomore setter Crystal Young led the offensive charge with 32 assists, and mixed her sets to the multiple Blinn hitters.
"She's very good at what she does," Mellinger said of Young.
Evangelista, a middle blocker, had a match-high 15 kills with a .600 hitting percentage. Allen had nine kills and Castanon-Hill and Trinity Alualu each had seven.
Mellinger couldn't have been more pleased with the crowd's spirit and energy that filled the gym.
"I am so appreciative of the school spirit," Mellinger said. "It's incredible."
The Bucs hosted Adam's Angels Night in support of Adam's Angels Ministries, a non-profit organization founded by Donna and Tim Culliver of Brenham as a way to reach out to families that have been affected by childhood cancer. The Cullivers lost their 4-year-old son, Adam Christian Culliver, to acute myelogenous leukemia.
Members of Adam's Angels joined the Bucs during the pregame ceremony and were recognized during an intermission before the third set.
It's a match that held a lot of meaning to Mellinger and the Bucs.
"I'm so happy we get to support an organization like Adam's Angels," Mellinger said. "Anything we can ever do to help them, we'll always be there."

text: I published this article on my blog and I believe that it will help students, tutors and parents alike so I decided to re-blog here. Time management is such an important skill! The article published by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension entitled "Thirteen Timely Tips for More Effective Time Management" proved to be very beneficial as well as the Time Management Quiz. They highlight the importance of prioritizing, goal setting and eliminating distractions. I found five time managements tools that can help us achieve our goals. StayFocusd – This is a Google Chrome extension that blocks you from going to time-wasting sites. It works like a timer, and asks you to set the maximum time you want to waste on your customized time-killer sites before they're blocked. This tool would be perfect for parents to use with students who go to school online. It would help them to keep their kids on track and not chatting on twitter or posting photos on Instagram.

One friend of mine, who has a Paint Industry, and he has now a pretty old sticker/labels system, wich uses some kind of weird paper that we could not find.
I'm asking if, somebody knows about some printer that can print such labels that can be used on that cans, so it has to be able to be used there, and be capable of outdoors using.
The questions here are:
- What I'm looking for is a label printer, a sticker printer, or what? (I'm from latin america so my english isn't enought to see the differencies) and
- Do you know about some specific brand/model of a printer wich can be used for that??
I think the stickers/labels paper used can be any wide/height, so that's not a problem, but the bigger the sticker/label it prints, the better.

With the Zags rolling all over St. Mary's and Mills going 2 for 16 shooting, does St. Mary's still look to be in the field or no?

I'm not sure what else to do.
have you got a url where I can look at the site?
http://www.theus.co login valerie/bbm4zus$
please change the last post again - it is a security risk to post this here!!! (already got it ;-)
I cant reproduce this issue on your site - see http://www.theus.co/contact/ for example where I added a test map which is shown properly.
PS: as I give support for free, I´d appreciate your review at http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/leaflet-maps-marker
When you actually produce a layer it does not load http://al.theus.co/map/
try accessing the geojson layer for that layer - if you get an internal server error please contact your hoster to take a look into the webservers logfiles...
This is what I get when I try to access the geojson layer
this mean no marker has been assigned to this layer...would need access to check that again (probably tomorrow I would have time)
Well I have worked on this issue for a whole day and have gotten no where this issue happened when you updated the plugin this last time...I will hold off giving a review on the plugin until it is working...
please send me login credentials via contact form on mapsmarkr.com
the problem isnt with my plugin. You are using Mapbox Streets layer as basemap, which seems to have issues (already contacted @mapbox about that - you can check http://tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox/map/mapbox-streets#3.00/-1.14/9.32 for example to see that their layer doesnt also show up on their website).
As a solution, I switched to openstreetmap for your layer.
best regards,
So I'm stuck using the ugly openstreetmap since I can't get the map to switch to anything but that...this is very disconcerting
why not try mapbox (OSM)? or a map from cloudmade?
Because as I said I can't get any other map to work I have switched to different maps within the settings and all I get is the ugly openstreetmap. I also can't get the map to be the size I want I have it 950x750 px and it's not working...I think there are some issues with your plugin in...I am having issues with it on two of my sites TheUS.co and TrailTrekr.com you can view that map here...http://trailtrekr.com/appalachian-trail/
ad different basemap: dont know why this is the case with your site...sorry...
ad size: try disabling support for reponsive designs under settings / misc - perhaps this is causing the size issue..
Well since I believe it's something that was done in your last update it has nothing to do with my sites...I will delete the plugin and give the plugin the review it deserves.
to bad, would need more time to investigte into this, but as I am giving support for free, my time is limited here, sorry.

Identity Management
The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced $7 million in grants to five pilot programs supported by the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace initiative.
NIST will fund five NSTIC-backed U.S. organizations in an effort to develop and pilot identity protection and verification systems that might later be used by individuals, organizations or agencies.
NSTIC, the Obama administration's attempt to generate collaboration between private- and public-sector identity management experts and advocacy groups, backed five similar pilot programs that launched successfully in 2012 after $9 million in grants from NIST.
"These new NSTIC pilots span multiple sectors, benefitting children, parents and veterans, as well as online shoppers and social media users of all ages," said NIST's Jeremy Grant, senior executive advisor for identity management. Grant also serves as the head of the NSTIC National Program Office at NIST.
"Collectively, these five pilots will drive innovation in online identity management, helping to foster a marketplace of more secure, convenient, privacy-enhancing identity solutions available to all Americans online," Grant said.
The grantees are: California-based Exponent, $1.5 million; Georgia Tech Research Corp., $1.7 million; and three Virginia-based companies: Privacy Vaults Online Inc., $1.6 million; ID.me Inc., $1.2 million, and Transglobal Secure Collaboration Participation, Inc., $1.3 million.
The pilot programs will each be geared toward improving different aspects of identity management.ID.me, for example, will develop trusted identity solutions for veterans and family members accessing sensitive information from government agencies, financial institutions and health care organizations online. Its solution will make use of the new Federal Cloud Credential Exchange, allowing seamless transitions from the online pages of federal organizations. Several agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, are on board with FCCX, which will be piloted itself over the next year.
"The Obama administration is committed to supporting public-private partnerships that both enhance consumer privacy and ensure the Internet remains a driver of innovation and economic growth," said Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. "The grants announced today will support privacy-enhancing technologies that help make Internet transactions more secure, including better protection from fraud and identity theft, and are an important step toward giving American companies and consumers greater confidence in doing business online."

Several cases of human infection with Bacterium tularense are on record in which there has seemed to be good reason to consider mosquitoes as possible vectors. Eight species of mosquitoes were used in a series of experimental investigations of the validity of this assumption. Mechanical transmission was shown to be possible, infection being transferred from infected to healthy guinea pigs by interrupted feeding of Aëdes aegypti in one instance; and twice by crushing single specimens on the unbroken skin of guinea pigs, 24 hours and 9 days, respectively, after the original infecting feeding by the mosquitoes. Viable organisms were recovered

Piano Concerto No. 11 (Mozart)
Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 11 in F major, KV. 413 (387a in the sixth edition of the Köchel catalogue), was the second of the group of three early concertos he wrote when in Vienna, in the autumn of 1782 (according to the latest edition of the Köchel catalogue, KV. 414 was written first). It was the first full concerto he wrote for the subscription concerts he gave in the city. The autograph is held by the Jagiellońska Library, Kraków with an additional, now incomplete, copy that Mozart brought to Salzburg in 1783, in the library of the Archabbey of St Peter's, Salzburg. The concerto is in the usual three movements:
- Allegro in 3/4
- Larghetto in 4/4 (in B flat major)
- Tempo di menuetto in 3/4
It is scored for two oboes, two bassoons (second movement only), two horns and strings. The winds and brass do not play an important role throughout the concerto, and Mozart himself advertised an "a quattro" version, which is for string quartet and piano only, presumably for domestic use.
The time signatures of the concerto are slightly unusual: Mozart wrote only two other concertos with first movements in 3/4 (No. 14, KV. 449 and No. 24, KV. 491). In the first movement, Mozart definitively modulates to the dominant, C major, when he introduces the second subject in the Prelude before returning to F major 8 bars later; a scheme also followed in No. 14.
The second movement is in binary form, but has few particularly notable features.
The third movement, on the other hand, is unusual both in its minuet form, and in its variation of the normal rondo structure.

I have two separate queries, please, both relating to the Academica theme. (http://www.wpzoom.com/themes/academica/)
First, I would like the default Post template to only display a right-hand sidebar, rather than a sidebar either side of the content. How should I alter the code to make this happen?
Second, I would like the Category template (for one specific category - I have already created separate category templates and that's working fine) to display the most recent post in full at the top of the page, followed by excerpts of the next few posts (however many normally fit on a page). Is that possible at all, please?
The site is http://njfreestone.co.uk/wcctest - it's hidden from view at the moment as it's a test site - to get in the credentials are:

Happy to provide any more information if needed - thanks for any help anyone can give! :)

Savage Love Savage Love Letter of the Day
posted by October 30 at 11:20 AMon
They're not all about piss and shit and fisting and gangbangs…
There's this new pastor @ the church I visit. She's gorgeous, a serious athlete—and can read ancient Greek. I've managed to get her to lunch twice, despite her schedule, and as she may be deployed to Iraq shortly, I spelled out my interest explicitly. (Hey, if I was smooth w/ the ladies, I'd be married already.) She seemed receptive, posited that dating someone in her new congregation could possibly cause issues, but may go hiking w/ me this weekend.
So what's the protocol for dating a smokin' hot priestess? (If I should be so lucky.)
Not Very Good Xian

The Easter Bunny.
The Tooth Fairy.
The Sandman.
They're all there, looking at you excitedly.
Well, except the Easter Bunny. Bunny, you remember he's called. He's standing there with his furry arms crossed, an apprehensive look on his face, glancing at you from the corner of his eyes.
He's almost nothing like how you pictured the Easter Bunny to look. Sure, you had once pictured a larger-than-life rabbit. And boy, is Bunny tall. Just over six feet, you'd say, not counting his long silvery-blue ears. He's a rabbit, that's for sure. The fur on his cheeks is long and brushed back, sticking out to the sides. Black fur patterns his forehead, forming what you make out to be three leaves on his brow. He has jet-black eyebrows and springtime-green eyes that are teeming with life. His hair grows longer on his shoulders and middle of his chest, as well as on his knees, reminding you of a wolf's coat. The layers in this hair are a mix of black, silver, and white. More fur patterns run down the sides of his arms, these ones with a fleur-de-lis type shape above two down-facing arrow tips. Leather straps wrap around the center of his long rabbit feet. He wears tribal armguards encrusted with colorful egg-shaped jewels. Slung across his torso is a wooden strap with four leather holdings, a single vibrant Easter egg resting in one of the slots. The patterns on it match the markings in his fur. He is turned slightly, and you can just see that attached to this strap is a quiver-like holder with what seems to be two boomerangs just sticking out of it.
The Sandman—Sandy—taps Bunny's shin as if telling him to stop being so aloof.
"What?" Bunny responds. You pick up a thick Australian accent. "I don't agree with all this, calling awl of us here to meet some person who can see us, interruptin' our work. It's suspicious that they can see us, seeing as that they really shouldn't. Too old. It's all too fishy, mate. We should just make 'em forget. Hit 'em with the dreamsand, I say." He turns and warms the bottom of his feet by the fire.
Sandy rolls his eyes, then floats—literally, floats—up to greet you, holding out a small hand.
He's a little man, plump and no taller than three feet in height. He's clothed in what looks like a wrapping robe made entirely of golden beach sand, with a tuft of extra cloth tucked neatly into the collar, reminding you of a rich man's garb. He has shining golden eyes and gold hair that sticks out and is parted into five. It sparkles slightly, shimmering like sand in the setting sun. He has a pudgy, round orange nose. His skin seems to be made of a finer, smoother, and more skin-tone sand than his clothes and hair.
You take his hand and shake it. It feels how it looks, like fine and compact sand. He smiles widely at you, and you smile back.
"Nice to meet you, Sandman," you say. He bows low, then holds out his hand towards the final member of the Guardians. A little picture of a tooth manifests in gold, gleaming sand above his head.
"Hello, Tooth," you greet the Tooth Fairy.
She's beautiful. She reminds you completely of a hummingbird, the way she hovers in the air, her large clear-ish wings flapping a million miles a minute in a blur of green, blue, pink, orange and purple. She still has a human shape—two arms, two legs, humanlike body and such—but she has short gorgeous feathers covering her entire figure. Gold feathers cover her neck, making it look like she's wearing a covering necklace. Gleaming green feathers are dominant on her torso, but they give way to dazzling blue ones the further they go on her legs, the blend creating a teal-ish effect at points. Thin lines of slightly longer gold feathers encircle her wrists and her ankles, just above her puny slim feet that are covered in a slightly lighter blue-green, making them appear shoed. Nine or ten much longer feathers trail from her hip down to her feet, giving the illusion that she's wearing the train on a long dress. They are blue, a few tipped with a rich purple, others tipped with black.
The long feathers on her head make her look like she's wearing some sort of royal crown. The bridge of her nose is green, as is the area bordering from her eyebrows and just to the cheekbones. Green feathers sprout from her forehead and around this area. Navy blue ones continue the "crown", sticking out farther than the green ones. A single, long gold feather sits at the top of her head. Thicker and larger fanning feathers dangle from where her ears would be, trailing up along her head like several ear piercings. The area around her eyes is dusted pink.
She's surrounded by five miniature versions of herself—save for the fact that their faces are rounder and they have long hummingbird beak-like noses—all smiling at you.
"Hello!" she greets you with an upbeat voice. She quickly approaches you and flits just inches from your face. You step back a little, trying to regain your personal bubble space. "Well, let's see them then! Smile!"
"Ah…wha—?" you manage to blurt out. But before you can ask her what she's talking about, she has her small fingers hooked on the sides of your lips, spreading them out and apart as she inspects your mouth.
Her eyes are a wonderful purple, with pink highlights that give them a crumpled-foil-in-sunlight effect. Behind their outer enthusiasm, you can just see memories of ages upon ages of life. Her long purple eyelashes are defined, each one ending in a little flat circle.
You try to protest, but all that comes out are garbled sounds, like when a dentist has a tool in your mouth and asks you how you are doing that day.
"Ohhhhh, good job! Excellent work. You need to floss more often, though," she comments as she takes her hands out of your mouth. Her accompanying fairies chirp at her, a couple of them speaking to you in their own little language as if offering advice on how to maintain your dental hygiene. She flies off with the fairies, commanding them on where to go to collect teeth around the globe.
"Well?" you hear North say to your left. He's smiling at you.
You can just feel the sparkle in your eyes. You've been thrown back into your childhood. You don't remember the last time you felt this much wonder and excitement. Even the way the first snow of winter made you feel couldn't match the emotions you have at this moment. Your heart is racing.
"Thank you so much!" you tell North, running up and bear-hugging him. He returns the embrace and laughs, his belly jiggling along merrily.
You step back, a question nagging at you.
"But…why did you invite them?" you ask, looking up at North.
He smiles. "It not every day tat we have someone your age who still beelieves. And somehow lands on my front porch." He winks. He then kneels down, a strong hand on your shoulder. "Besides, I have a feeling dat you vwill play a very big role in our lives. I feel it…in my belly!" he says, putting his hands on his belly and jiggling it slightly.
You laugh.
"But…what about Bunny?" you ask, glancing over at the tall rabbit. "He doesn't really seem to be all that accepting of me."
"Eh, tat is just way Bunny is. Trust me," North says, standing up and walking over to Bunny. He slaps a hand on the rabbit's back, making him jolt forward. Bunny shoots North a menacing look. "He vwill warm up to you!"
You speak to the three Guardians—and eventually Bunny as he slowly takes to you, just as North had predicted—asking them questions about what they do, their lives, their pasts, and answering their questions regarding yourself in turn.
Elves with goblets of eggnog and hot chocolate, trays of cookies and other sweets, come and go, often tripping over themselves or also munching on the snacks. One elf brings up a silver plate with nothing on it besides a few crumbs.
A blizzard begins to blow outside.
"Ah, it seems to be time for you to be heading home. It is very late, and I beelieve someone is here to pick you up," North observes, looking out the window at the storm that is beginning to gain intensity. "And I am sure other Guardians have things to attend to."
Each of them nods sadly. They would love to stay and talk to you more, but they know that they have duties to carry out.
You bid each of them farewell, Tooth calling "Don't forget to floss!" before fluttering outside. Sandy leaves on a fluffy cloud of glowing gold sand, waving happily as he floats off. Bunny taps the floor with his giant feet, a hole large enough for him to dive down into appearing just beside where he tapped.
"G'bye, little bugger," he says before leaping down into the rabbit hole. It closes up behind him, leaving nothing but the original floor and a couple of purple flowers.
North escorts you to the same double doors that you had entered into.
You feel something tugging on the end of your pants.
You look down and see your old clothes. You take them to reveal your elvish friend in teal looking sadly up at you, tears welling up in its big eyes.
"I'll come visit again soon," you tell him. You look at North. "I hope?"
North nods. "Though I cannot guarantee, it is most likely."
You wave goodbye to the elf, who is beaming at you. North opens the door.
You see Jack standing there, two yetis on either side of him, holding his arms.
"Hey," he says, smirking. "Long time no see. Ready to head out?"
You nod and walk up to him. He shakes off the yetis' grips and takes up your hand.
You turn and wave goodbye to North, who smiles and waves in return.
A gust of wind pushes you up into the air. You turn as far back as you can to see the workshop growing smaller and smaller as you get farther from it. Its snow-capped rooftops make it blend into the snowy surroundings, and you're soon unable to see it any longer.
So that's why nobody is able to see it from above, why it has gone unseen all of these years, you resolve.
"So? How was it?" you hear Jack ask you. You turn to face him. He's smiling wide, thrilled at the information that you have to share.
"It was…incredible! Thank you for taking me here."
He blushes a little and laughs. "You're going to have to tell me more than that once we get home!"
"All right, all right!" you say sarcastically, laughing yourself.
From out of nowhere, a black wisp shoots by you, brushing your free right hand.
Your heart skips a beat, the feelings of joy and happiness gone out like a candle blown out suddenly. They are instead replaced by fear.
Another black wisp darts beneath you, following underneath the two of you.
"Jack!" you call to him urgently.
He shakes his head. "Just focus on me, don't be afraid! I'll get you home sa—!"
But before he can finish, you're hit hard by another black wisp, forcing you to let go of Jack's hand.
You are sent tumbling into the air, falling back-down towards the earth at an incredible speed. You're screaming for Jack, hand outstretched towards him. He speeds after you, calling out your own name, a determined look on his face.
You begin to fall into a deep, dark canyon. The space between you and Jack is too far…he won't catch up to you in time.
Just as you think you're going to hit the bottom, you land on something cold and sandy. You recognize the texture. This isn't Sandy's smooth, golden sand.
Nightmare, is your final, split-second thought.

Wow...this is the longest one yet. Sorry about all the long chapters, there's just so much to say! The next ones will probably be more average-length.
Jack's back! Wooo!
I had fun with this one, too. Heck, I just have a ton fun writing all of these. xD

i love ALL animals
I want one... just ONE of these fan fics to have the character love the nightmares, they're just horsies <3 <3 <3 **cracks her knuckles** guess it'll have to be me
hmmm, that's a really good idea. if you haven't already, you should read my "Sweet Nightmares" fic. It's a little oneshot regarding the reader and Pitch (nothing gets dirty or nasty or anything).
actually I have a story I've been working on where there's a twist and a secret is let out about the main character.... I can tell you if you want me to lol I'm so good at coming up with my story ideas (I'd take you on a tour of my dreams if you run out of ideas lol... and I do mean dreams. I have a lot more vivid dreams than most and a lot of them have GREAT potential for being put to story)
dreams oft lead to the best stories
lol yeah if you can get them to make sense... a lot of the dreams I have come in proper order so I get the "meat" of the story with an idea of how it's supposed to go (what I remember) and then there are dreams that are like omelettes that don't take omelette form but just scrambled eggs with lots of things tossed in lol
PITCH! I swear to the good lord above I will kick your arse to friggen Timbuktu. You are the king of all arsehats!!!
lol xD
Pitch really isn't my favorite and when I was telling a friend who hadn't watched the movie thay thought that I said bitch. Needless to say it was halarious
Oh my gosh, the dentist thing is so true! Oh, I hate how they do that to you. "Okay, open wide, let me put all these tools in your mouth, and tell me what's going on in your life." "Welfb, I gopt da fwewometwlee dehst en Fwidhay ehnt I alm sheewingk da grmooveeh wuf mah fwandz en Zadurdhay."
Hello, I just wanted to say I am LOVING this fanfic!
Also, when Bunny says goodbye, he wouldn't call her a "bugger". That's what we call people we don't like or it's what we tell people who bug us to do, hence the phrase "Bugger off".
(Yes, I am Aussie. )
Thankyou for this fanfic. Best one I've read yet that's in second-person.

It's the first other thing that came to me, "ankle-biter" for me isn't exactly an endearing term either and I couldn't come up with better, haha. x3
Thank you so much for reading it, and that you're enjoying it!!

Aww, Pitch so soon? Aha! Pitch is like the parents in this story! Not that they instill fear but more like...have you done your homework? Have you studied for your exams? How are your grades? If I see a failing grade, no more computer for you! :'D Huhuhu! Isn't Pitch like that? Kill joy...KJ for short.
I love this soo much~!

you want to die pretty badly in this story, don't you? XD
Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. Yesss. Finally. He didn't have much... part, but I guess it'd be hard considering he doesn't talk.. :/
yeah, it's tough to write him in, as much as I love the little guy.
Mhm, I bet. But in my photography class we have to fiddle around with photoshop. I was thinking of adding him in a picture of mine. c:
ALEXANDRIA! *painc* PINCH, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH MY DAUGHTER! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND LET ME CHOPPED U UP!!!
