Almost each area has a tremendous read. The ocean view House, just like the name already points it out, guarantees a really quiet setting. The daylight tickles particularly within the morning and within the afternoon: you'll profit off it and luxuriate in some lazy hours spoiling yourself with an honest book and a cup of occasional. The home is unreal as a solar house, planning to specialize in what you really ought to see outside and somehow connecting the dweller with the environment.
The second home, from designer Alexey Stepanov, is an open floorplan apartment in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, designed for a young, active couple. The kitchen is actually quite spacious for an apartment of just 48 square meters (516 square feet) and is situated directly behind a compact living room that still includes all the necessary comforts. A countertop functions as a cooking prep area as well as a dining space while a small gray sofa is just enough for a pair of lovebirds. The oversized aquarium is an important piece of this design, reflecting the personalities and preferences of the home's inhabitants while bringing movement and color to the space. In the bedroom, storage is key. With shelving built into the custom bed frame as well as tall bookshelves and a long narrow console under the television, there are plenty of places to hide away those daily accessories that don't need to be on display. The final space is a minimalist apartment designed for a bachelor with unique specifications. According to the designers, one of the most interesting options given by the occupant was that there was no need for a traditional television and sofa setup, which opened up the possibilities in this tiny space.
Small spaces are perfect for many different applications. While a tiny apartment is a natural choice for a bachelor, it may be surprising just how well a young family can fit snugly into a home that measures less than 50 square meters. The apartments in this post all come in under 50 square meters (538 square feet) but still manage to include all the necessary features and do so in stylish and creative ways. Take a look and see how these disparate people manage to live comfortably with a little bit less in terms of space and a little bit more in terms of style.

It is reassuring to know that David Blaine will not be reading this newspaper today. There is so much myth about this New York native who has made himself into the world's most popular magician and illusionist that there is little hope of avoiding errors. If anything here offends him, 42 days from now he will be free to lodge a complaint. Assuming that he still has his mind. Or, indeed, if he is still breathing.
Blaine, 30, is currently residing in a transparent box dangling from a crane above the Thames close to Tower Bridge. He was hoisted on Friday, vowing to stay there for 44 days - or 1,056 hours - without food or any form of distraction, under the gaze of Sky TV and Channel 4. He will be supplied only with water and will pee via a catheter. He also has baby wipes and nappies.
Already, you begin to see the conundrum here. Either Blaine, born 4 April 1973, is the smartest man alive, building his fortune ($30m and counting) by tapping into the public's fascination with mindless stunts such as this, or he is sick in the head. If we dare assume there is no trickery involved - he has insisted it is for real - he is putting his health, if not his life, at grave risk.
Of course, it is that peril that draws our attention. "You will see my skin have open wounds and lesions," he boasted last week. "When you have nothing but water in your body, your skin begins to rip open and scab. You are surviving by digesting your own muscles and organs. You will see it first-hand." Think Robbie Williams and his famously grotesque flesh-tearing music video.
Blaine is the most modern of magicians. With his practised sinister stare, he is hip not slick. Of mixed Russian, Jewish, Puerto Rican and Italian heritage, he rose to fame practising what he called "street magic", accosting ordinary folk on the streets, camera crew in tow, before dazzling them with seemingly impromptu tricks. Paul Daniels he is not. No sequins or toothy grins. He hits the gossip pages regularly, dating in the past the likes of Daryl Hannah and Madonna. He admits to once being hooked on heroin and other drugs. He is clean now, he says.
Yet at the same time, he is a throwback to the days of boardwalk freaks and vaudeville. With his Thames challenge, he is carrying on the legend of Houdini, whom he claims among his heroes. Indeed, his main residence is a Gothic-style mansion in Hollywood that was once home to the legendary escapologist. In the past three years, he has similarly encased himself in a block of ice for three days, buried himself alive in a glass coffin for seven days and balanced atop a narrow 83ft pole before leaping off into a pile of cardboard boxes. He did all of those in New York. This is his first London foray, although so far the reaction has been mixed. Some spectators have pelted Blaine with food and even golf balls, while others have dismissed it as a publicity stunt. Neither group, however, could tear itself away from the spectacle.
If you are beginning to think that this is a man in serious need of therapy, consider what he would like to do next. He fancies taking a fatal bullet - and walking away. As we search for what motivates someone to attempt such things, dollar signs must come first. If the day ever comes that he indeed volunteers to be shot, you can be sure it will be on live television. And boy what an audience he will get.
But the analyst will want to look deeper. As we have said, the mists of his life are thick, almost certainly by design. There is confusion even about his surname. Some say he is really David White, after his mother, Patrice White. Blaine may just be his middle name. He never knew his father, a Vietnam veteran who abandoned his Brooklyn family when David was just two years old. The job of raising him was left to Patrice, a teacher, who held down three jobs at a time. She married a banker, John Bukalo, when David was nine, and the three of them moved to Jerseyville in New Jersey.
The popular version of his biography has it that he started with magic almost before he could read. (Others say that is nonsense and that the art of trickery caught his imagination only in his teen years.) Allegedly, he was on a subway platform with Patrice aged just four when a busking magician told him to hold a wedding band in his closed palm. The ring had a shoelace threaded through it. When Blaine opened his hand the lace had become separated from the ring. Thus - or so it goes - he was addicted. A child who liked to be the centre of attention (some personality traits stay with us for ever) he allegedly performed tricks at family get-togethers and even with strangers in the streets throughout his childhood.
In his late teens, he moved to the then slightly shady Hell's Kitchen neighbourhood of Manhattan. He attended drama school for a year and had a few bit parts in soap operas and TV commercials. He was also waiting tables, and soon discovered the secret to earning much bigger tips - treating the patrons to a few of his tricks. Evidently, he was very good. A buzz about Blaine started to go round and before long even celebrities were seeking him out. Robert De Niro, who wants to make a film about him, and Leonardo DiCaprio were among them. The fame of Blaine was already beginning to build.
Then, one day in 1994, Blaine walked into the office of the celebrity agent Jon Podell and asked about getting a show on an American network. He returned later with a 10-minute hand-held video of street magic. One of his tricks involved asking strangers to think of the name of someone close to them. He would then reveal the name written on his arm, or point to a passing taxi with the name emblazoned on its side. Podell was impressed enough to approach ABC TV. Executives there also took to the act and Blaine was signed up for $1m. His first appearance on ABC led to snowballing fame, more TV specials, DVDs of his magic and, more recently, an autobiography, Mysterious Stranger.
But something else happened before then. And this is where the analyst really sits up. When Blaine was 17, his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She fought the disease for two years, but suffered a relapse while her son was away in France. He returned to find her close to the end.
"It was like walking into a room blindfolded and getting smacked in the face with a baseball bat," he wrote in Mysterious Stranger. "It was hard for me to fathom that she was dying. By the end she could hardly even speak. Her illness became the central focus of my life." By most accounts, her death has remained so ever since. If you are seeing a link between her demise and his flirting with mortality in his stunts, you are right. Writing of his self-entombment in New York, he said: "In many ways, I endured a week buried underground as a tribute to her since she had endured so much above ground before she died. I guess I am trying to put myself in a position where I could understand what she went through."
Blaine speaks often of his fascination with the limits of human endurance. In tribute to the writer and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi, he has his concentration camp number tattooed on his arm. Swaying above the river for the next several weeks, he will have ample time further to ponder the nature of suffering. Meanwhile, he will not be totally alone. He has one other personal item inside his box. A picture of Patrice.Reuse content

Watch this video and tell me if teaming in SkyWars solo its a good idea...
I personally don't like the idea of teaming in solo skywars, it's called solo for a reason. That's just my oppinion on it. I've met many teamers in solo skywars, but the server seems to like the idea. can't fight with the lovers of it.
I think it's ok to team in solo skywars but I believe there should be a limit on how many you can team with. In the end, there's only one winner. It doesn't really matter how you get there, as long as you don't cheat.
It should be a maximum of two people teaming no more

This is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:30 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: The Vitesse Problem
I knew last night I'd lead TMS with this story from Jason Harper because it provides that nice mix of insight and jealousy-inducing-detail he's known for.
If you want a Bugatti coupe you're SOL, but as he reports, there are still 40 unsold Veyron convertibles of the Grand Sport and Grand Sport Vitesse variety just begging to be sold. Selling them is important, because Bugatti won't even think about a new car, they say, until they offload these cars.
As a response to this problem, Bugatti will hold events and let rich people get inside the cars so they give in and just buy one already.
It's worth noting — as Harper does in his piece — that we also drove the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and, hey, if you've got $2.35 million burning a hole in your pocket you might as well.

Music to Your Ears
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
Residents of the 505, or the Kirk as I like to call it, should be proud of local musician Paul Salazar who has been invited to take part in a New York songwriters' showcase where he'll be performing for industry bigwigs. What's more is that you can witness his Monday, July 11, performance at CBGBs, and Sunday, July 17, performance at The Bitter End on a live webcast. Just go to www.cbgb.com at 7:45 p.m. (our time) on the 11th, and to the www.bitterend.com at 6:45 p.m. on the 17th. His show at The Bitter End also marks the release of his new album At The Helm, so give him a pat on the back when you see him perform at the District (on the Downtown Fourth Street Mall, here in the Kirk) on Wednesday, July 20, and Friday, July 22.

Americana Music Showcase
By Katy June-Friesen
Friday, July 8; KiMo Theatre (All-ages): What's more New Mexico Americana than the KiMo Theater? Catch a little Friday night opry at the KiMo, headlined by our Albuquerque boy Nels Andrews and his El Paso Eyepatch. Nels brings his gravelly voice to the stage, making music that comes from the deep shadows and haunts of living. His award-winning songwriting is a steely drive through the pasts of people and places. Also on the bill is the family band The Next Chapter, whose deft picking of Celtic, bluegrass and fiddle tunes is driven by Jeanne Page's hammer dulcimer. Raising Cane will bring their New Mexico brand of southern bluegrass to the stage with original stories and rambling melodies. Rounding out the local flavor is the old-time sound of the six-member Placitas Mountain Band. A true New Mexico Americana showcase might include some corridos and Native drumming, but this evening ought to satisfy connoisseurs of the standard—if ambiguous—Americana genre. The show starts at 7 p.m. $12. 768-3544.

Mark Kozelek
with Matt Boyer
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
Monday, July 11; Launchpad (21 and over): All should rejoice because the übergenius of rock melancholia, Mark Kozelek, is coming to town. He's the mind behind Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon, who I love. I mean, really love. Sometimes they make me feel like my heart is going to combust. This is partially because of the brooding and nostalgic tone of the lyrics combined with what sometimes initially sounds like conventional singer/songwriter and rock compositions but becomes something much bigger and more complex. It's rare when someone is able to create this kind of aurally stimulating, completelly penetrating, painful-in-a-good-way atmosphere. (Did that phrase sound a little dirty to you, too?) Maybe it's because he feels our pain. Or we feel his. Or maybe it's because he brings the pain, and we just have to submit to his majestic misery. As an interesting sidenote, Kozelek played the role of Stillwater bassist Larry Fellows in 2000's Almost Famous. That's almost awesome.
Music Dork
Six Degrees of Glenn Danzig
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
I never would have guessed it, but it looks like Glenn Danzig may be to the music world what Kevin Bacon is to the movie world. If you're unfamiliar with the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it hypothesizes that Kevin Bacon is the center of the cinematic universe. That means that you can link anyone in film to him through six degrees of separation or less, mostly because he was a member of so many ensemble casts.
Sonic Reducer
By Captain America
Detroit Cobras Baby (Rough Trade)
The soulful Detroit Cobras champion rock and roll that predates Johnny B. Goode. Mostly obscure covers, they play what you'd have heard on "race" stations catering to northern inner city and southern rural blacks from pioneer DJs Hunter Hancock or Jocko Henderson (later capitalized upon by whites like Alan Freed). Rock and roll only in retrospect; in its time this was still called rhythm and blues. The Cobras aren't cheeseball revivalist hipsters but adore music that inspired the well-known "originators," music that makes even the best of Chuck Berry look like docile bubblegum.

Bibliographic Details
Title: Shadowmancer
Publisher: Faber and Faber, London, United Kingdom
Publication Date: 2003
Binding: Hard Cover
Book Condition: As New
Dust Jacket Condition: As New
Signed: Boldly SIGNED By Author on Title Page
Edition: Special Hardcover Edition
Special Edition, first edition, first printing, with previously unpublished final chapter and a specially commisoned foreword by the author. As New and Unread. SIGNED boldly by the author on the title page. In a clear protective Brodart mylar cover. Unread. Scarce first hardcover editon of the author's phenomenal best-selling debut novel where superstition, magic and witchcraft reign and the ultimate battle begins when a sorcerer seeks to control the universe. Bookseller Inventory # 1002009
Synopsis: A special edition of the children's bestseller, in which sorcerer Obadiah Demurral seeks to control the highest power in the universe. Raphael, Kate, Thomas - and the mysterious Jacob Crane, are out to stop him. Features new material, an extra chapter and facts about the book's location.
Review: An apocalyptic battle between good and evil is vigorously, violently fought in British author G.P. Taylor's suspenseful, action-packed fantasy. The story, set in the 1700s on the Yorkshire coastline, revolves around Vicar Obadiah Demurral, a corrupt-but-inept, dead-conjuring "shadowmancer" who desires to control the universe by overthrowing God, or Riathamus. When two hard-luck near-orphans, (13-year-old Thomas Barrick, a bitter enemy of Demurral, and his troubled friend Kate Coglund) band together with a young African stranger named Raphah, they spend the rest of the book trying to stop the wicked Vicar as if their very souls are at stake...they are. Along the way, the three youths meet an enormous cast of friends and foes, some agents of Riathamus, others of Satan (Pyratheon), and some godless (but not for long) smugglers like Jacob Crane.
Readers who love fanciful storybook characters will find mermaidlike Seloth, smelly hobs, leg-dragging servants, goodhearted whores, and benevolent boggles. Age-old superstitions abound, though old magic and witchcraft are clearly denounced here as the work of the devil. Indeed, the author, an English vicar himself, tells a very Christian story and his often deliciously dramatic adventure lapses into stiffly presented glowing-halo Touched by an Angel moments(readers will be lured into the Enchanted Forest, but tricked into Sunday school). Nonetheless, Shadowmancer, the first of a series, is a pageturner bursting with magic and myth, and will appeal to fantasy lovers who don't mind the Bible mixed in with their boggles. (Ages 11 and older) --Karin Snelson

Posts Tagged 'Quality Time'
Luxury Bed and Cabinets for Cosy Bedroom
For many homeowners, their homes are their largest assets. The house is where the family get together, enjoy quality time, dine, invite guests, and relax after a busy day. Hence, a residential property should be a comfortable place to live in, with cosy bedrooms, airy living room, functional kitchen, and clean bathrooms, to name a few. A comfortable, clean, and well-designed residential dwelling also exudes positive image of the owner; his/her taste, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
In addition to these, a clean, well-maintained property would easily attract potential buyers whenever the owner wishes to sell the property on the market. A house that is properly maintained and cleaned would also increase its value, giving the homeowner a better chance to increase the price and earn bigger profit out of the capital gain. If you are not satisfied with your current house, or if you feel that the condition of your current property can be improved, and the price can be increased, then you might want to do some home improvement projects.
A home improvement project essentially works to revamp the appearance of a property's interior/exterior by replacing outdated/ damaged furniture, paint colour, and/or other home fixtures with newer ones. A home improvement project may range from a small, re-painting project to a large, full interior remodelling project. One of the most effective home improvement projects that would surely increase the value of your property and improve its sale-ability is bedroom improvement. A bedroom is a private place where the owner(s) could have a relaxing, quality time and unwind. Hence, having a cosy bedroom with comfortable, plush bedroom vanities/ fixtures is important to ensure a good night's sleep and revived mornings.
If you are one of the many people who would want to stretch money further and save more for future emergencies, then you might be interested in searching around for quality beds for sale. The amazing thing about beds is that they work miracle to change the style and atmosphere of a bedroom. A stylish, well-designed bed would stand out among the other bedroom fixtures, improving the atmosphere of even the simplest whitewashed room with minimum decoration. There are bed and cabinet manufacturers/ suppliers/ retailers that offer high-quality beds and cabinets at affordable prices online. From genuine leather beds, faux leather beds to pine beds, you would be able to find the right bed that suit your style, bedroom interior, and budget easily online. For those with a taste of posh vanities, a leather bed would cater to their sense of style.
In accordance to today's modern-minimalist interior design, leather beds create a sense of luxury and style, even in a small residential dwelling. Leather beds ooze a sense of comfort, elegance, and that awe effect, which is hard to obtain with some other bed materials. Different colours of leather beds also create different style and different sense of the owner's personality. For example, a black, minimalist leather bed may signify that the owner is an effective, efficient person who likes clean-cut design, has a taste for quality products, and is a determined person. Meanwhile, a brown leather bed may signify that the homeowner is a peacemaker, down-to-earth person, and has a bit of playful, fun side in his/her personality. If you have limited budget, you may opt to get faux leather beds that would cost less than genuine leather, while giving similar sense of style/stunning effect to an interior.
In addition to purchasing leather bed, you may also want to add bedside cabinets in your bedroom. Why would you buy bedside cabinets? Well, bedside cabinets would give you easy access to medications, your favourite self-help books, reading glasses, false teeth, or any other items that you would want to access easily before you go to bed or after you wake up. You can also place a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of water nearby your bed especially if you have a cold or simply want to stay up late reading your favourite book. You may also place a table lamp or put an electric warmer on to the bedside cabinet so you can turn them on or off anytime you want.
If you are interested in getting quality bed and bedside cabinets at great price, you might want to browse around for bed superstore that stocks a wide range of well-designed, quality beds, and cabinets online. Most online stores offer lower prices for their products compared to land-based stores –thanks to their low overheads. If you are interested in getting the best value for money, you should find a store that has good reputation in the industry and check if they offer free next day delivery so you can save on shipping/delivery expenses and get your beds and cabinets soon for your bedroom improvement project. Get the right leather/ faux leather bed for your bedroom, and put one or a couple of bedside cabinets for a cosier, more comfortable bedroom.

Antares (Final Fantasy VI)
this wiki
A scorpion with sickle-shaped mandibles. Puts target to sleep with its HypnoSting.
The Antares is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It can be found at the Cave to the Sealed Gate.
Stats Edit
|Final Fantasy VI enemy stats
Battle Edit
It can put party members to sleep, and it has a chance of countering with Magnitude 8, but it does not have enough MP to do so. Like most enemies in the Cave to the Sealed Gate, it absorbs Fire, but unlike most of the monsters in the area, it is not undead. Also, unlike the other enemies in the area, it is weak against Ice, and a Blizzara spell can easily dispatch them if they attack in groups.
AI script Edit
If monster is by itself: Attack (100%)
Attack Turns:
- 1st Turn: Attack (100%)
- 2nd Turn: Attack (66%) or Dreamstinger (33%)
If monster is alone:
- If killed: Magnitude 8 (33%)
Other appearancesEdit
Pictlogica Final FantasyEdit
Etymology Edit
Antares is another name of the star Alpha Scorpii located in the constellation Scorpio, named from Greek meaning "against Ares" due to its red coloration similar to the planet Mars. In the religion of Stregheria and in some translations of the Book of Enoch, Antares is a fallen angel.

Tianjin To Set Up Payment System For Tour Guides
updated: 2010-01-11
News from Tianjin Tourism Department is that Tianjin will build a new payment system for tour guides in 2010.
At present, there are two kinds of tour guides in Tianjin, full-time ones (20%) and part-time ones (80%). Full-time tour guides sign labor contracts with their employers and their payment consists of salary, insurance, and bonus subsidies. On the other hand there is no labor contract between part-time tour guides and travel agencies — they are paid based on the tour cost of the tour group they lead. As a result of this, many unprofessional part-time tour guides choose to cheat tourists or create problems on a tour to the guides economic benefit.
With the launch of the new tour guide payment system, it is expected that the tour guide industry will be gradually regulated and the interests of tour guides will be better protected so their interactions with tourists will be more harmonious.
So far, Tianjin has made 2010 the year for improving travel service quality. To Achieve this the municipal tourism department will work with the parties concerned to carry out reforms on the payment of tour guides. The new payment system is expected to focus on a basic salary and service fee with tour cost related subsidies for tour guides.

Why leasing firms need to think about branding
Branding is a one of those awkward marketing terms steeped in mystery and misunderstanding. While most people think it's more to do with logos than anything else, there's another misapprehension that it's the preserve of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies as opposed to service-based businesses, such as leasing and rental firms.
Branding began to be taken seriously in the UK about thirty years ago, at a time when mergers and acquisitions were rife and negotiating lawyers were keen to understand the values of intangible assets, such as brand names. Before this time, no-one had seriously thought how much a brand name was worth. Now, we're presented with brand value tables, with glitzy consultancies claiming that the likes of Apple have brands worth in excess of $170bn. Whatever the rights and wrongs of brand valuations, one thing is clear; these amorphous entities are worth something.
And if leasing firms can better understand what their brand is (and how it's different from its rivals), then this could become a significant area of competitive advantage.
So, why should leasing and rental companies be bothered about their brands now? Firstly, I believe that the market has matured to such an extent that the fleet industry is no longer just about the metal; it's about service too. And, while accurate predictions of future car values still underpin the profitability of the business, companies with a strong brand will inevitably outperform the market when it comes to client retention, profitability and new business acquisition.
Secondly, the advent of social media, digital platforms and globalisation all help to make branding more effective and achievable for a far wider scope of businesses that was previously considered.
Branding is no longer the preserve of the big boys. I believe there is a huge opportunity for enlightened leasing and rental firms to create strong differentiation in an increasingly crowded and competitive market. We are doing more projects looking at brand personality, value propositions and points of differentiation for organisations in the logistics, vehicle component and training fields. All very different sectors that demonstrate how branding can be used in non-FMCG markets.
Topics such as mobility, access to transport, workplace efficiency and the green agenda all offer firms in the vehicle leasing arena big prospects to differentiate themselves. More sophisticated transportation packages – not just lease cars – provide huge opportunities for product development. Meanwhile the soft skills of customer service – throughout the life of the contract – present new challenges for firms willing to take engagement and relationship management to new levels.
Branding is the glue that binds these crucial areas of differentiation together. It's the unseen conductor that presents your organisation's great work and people in a compelling and coherent story. It's what will create a clear divide between mediocre and world-class leasing firms in the next ten years.

Apple was jogging along side King who forcibly dragged him, "Wait up!" Apple yelled to him. King smirked, "What's wrong? Kitty can't keep up?" For once King was no longer the shorter, though he wondered if Apple will outgrow as he goes into adolescence. King walked a little faster. "Come on, you dragged me with you to them, keep up!" he yelled then laughed running ahead. Apple sighed, "Wait until I grow more than you, it's not going to be fun!" he yelled but King ignored him living his moment.
By now all expect Apple and King were at the house. "Where is Apple? If he doesn't come-" Grape was saying but Peanut interrupted her, "It's them!" waving to them. Apple was panting barely keeping up with King who was smiling, "Kid couldn't keep up... maybe he should run more." Grape got her claws out, "Are you suggesting that our little brother is fat?" she said in threatening tone. King swallowed loudly, "N-NO! I just-" Max covered King's mouth with his paw. "Let's not upset Grape eh?" then he tone became darker, "Wouldn't want two cats and maybe Peanut having a talk with you." Apple stuck his tongue out, "Let's not bully him, I brought him here... so he's my responsibility." Apple said in a more grown up tone.
Grape was surprised hearing that and King scowled, "Don't treat me like some kind of kid!" Apple gave a Cheshire grin, "Really, I could skin your hide, don't think just because I'm small means that I'm weak." he replied showing off his claws. Max grinned, "Reminds me of you Grape, already rubbing off of him?" Grape laughed then gave Max a threatening glare, "Honey, don't think I won't skin you either." she said in a calm tone. Peanut coughed, "Right now we wait for~" a footstep was heard behind Apple, "Hey Peanut." a female voice said. "GAH!" Apple yelled before going behind King.
The Pomeranian smiled, "Aw... is this Apple?" The blond cat came from behind King, he then walked nervously to her, "H-hello my name's i-is." he rambled on, Tarot giggled, "You're such a cutie!" Apple began blushed violently and the others could have swore that Apple was steaming. "How about a kiss on the cheek?" she asked to him which made him further blush, "E-eh?! U-u-um, w-well I uh..." Max grinned, "Aw, he's been struck by Tarot."
For a split second Peanut and Grape were worried that Apple was a dog lover, but they then assumed it's just Apple being so young. Tarot gave a light kiss on Apple's cheek which made him faint. "Aw, cats and dogs will both fall for a cutie like him." Tarot said in a friendly smile. Grape hissed, "What do you mean?" the thought of Apple being like Max made her upset. Peanut shook his head, "N-no Grape, I'm sure that she met it in a good way." he said. Grape then calmed down and unclenched her fists. She then looked towards Max and Peanut, "Please don't expose him to you know..." Max nodded but Peanut tilted his head, "What?" Grape sighed, "Stuff that kittens shouldn't see."
Peanut then understood learning the stuff he couldn't see at all from his parents, especially the internet. Bad stuff. Peanut saluted, "Understood, Apple will never be exposed to inappropriate material." he said in a official tone much to the humor of Grape. "My Peanut, always brings a smile." she thought. King shrugged, "It's not like he knows about that stuff." he said in his usual tone. Grape grimaced at King, "I bet you do look up those things on the internet, besides Apple is practically half your age."
Tarot then brought Apple back to consciousness. "A-ah...What happened?" he tried to remember about what happened, "W-wait... did she kiss me?" he asked to them, they nodded. He then feel his right cheek and started reminiscing, "It was like magic.." he thought about that wonderful kiss. Tarot smiled, "Well I'm physic. So the magic must have got to you." Apple looked amazed, "Really, like reading minds?" he asked. She nodded and then her eyes glowed green. "Magnificent!" Apple excitedly yelled, "Can you do other stuff?" King coughed, "Ahem, we were here for something, I believe?" he said.
Peanut and Max nodded, "Pridelands!" Apple became curious, "Pridelands?" Tarot grinned, "Don't worry, hyperreal surround senusal won't hurt." her eyes glowed green. Apple poked his head, "Hyper..." Grape gave a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'll protect you." she said. Soon the world warped and Apple became an young lion cub. Max became Parnok. Grape became Princess Illaya, and Peanut became Saso, a hyena. Tarot became a parrot and King a crow.
Apple looked at his body, "Wow! I'm like a foot taller and I have muscles!" he flexed them. He grinned, "This is awesome!" Grape heard something, "Hyenas, let's go!" All of them except Apple and King sprinted off, "WAIT YOU BASTARDS, DON'T FORGET US!" King yelled in a mad tone. Apple was ready to follow them when he heard some noise. He then shushed King, "Do you hear something?" he said. A rustle came from the right of them in the tall yellow grass that was almost as tall as Apple.
"We found one!" a hyena cried, he was holding a spear and pointing it very closely to Apple's chest, and he became extremely frightened. Soon more came from around them, "You will come with us!" one of them yelled to Apple. The lion cub wetted himself, "Help me!" he yelled for Grape and Peanut. "Take the bird too." the assumed leader said. King as the crow was swearing profoundly as they grabbed his wing, "That hurts you~" the hyena holding cover King's mouth. "This one is going to joining us for dinner." he smiled. Apple was beginning to faint, "S-someone please..." soon he collapsed. King saw Apple being lifted by the hyena's, "Crap, Grape's going to kill me." he thought.

Last year I was involved in a road traffic accident in which my motorbike was damaged. Luckily, I was covered by my policy with Equity Insurance Group. However, since the end of June I have not received a single phone call from the person dealing with my case at Equity, nor any letter to inform me of the progress they are making with my claim – despite phoning the company at least three times a month, at my own cost.
As a result I have not received a penny of the settlement figure of £2,700 that was agreed in August, while I also had to pay £230 for the collection of my bike, which should have been covered by Equity.
When I eventually got through to someone at the company I was told they had "misplaced" the documents I sent them, and the person repeatedly asked me for my address – despite them having it on record because I have a policy with them.
It has now been six months since we agreed the settlement and eight months since I paid for the collection of my vehicle. EB, Isle of Wight
Had you not been able to finance a replacement motorbike yourself, you would have been without transport for an awfully long time. You have also incurred cost and hassle while attempting to get the money rightfully owed to you under the insurance cover you purchased from Equity.
We put it to the insurer that this was an unacceptable delay on its part. Equity investigated and found that the original settlement cheque had mistakenly been sent to the wrong address in November – a surprise to you as you have been at your current address for years.
Within hours Equity came back to us and said it had a new cheque for £2,480 (which covers the original settlement claim figure of £2,700 minus a £450 excess you had on the policy, but including the £230 you paid to collect your bike) which it has posted to the correct address. It has also offered you £500 in compensation for the delay – a generous offer which you are delighted to accept.
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Brignall & King, Money, The Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number
