Thunder Under Rain Suit --- Excellent Purchaseby Calyes Kynard - verified purchaser
I ride a CAN AM Spyder 2012 and I need a rainsuit that would keep the rain out, be stylish, and affordable. I ordered the Thunder Under and as I was riding home on 15 May 2014, I felt the rain (we have have extreme conditions here). I out the suit on over my leather CAN AM gear and 10 minutes later, I was fighting like NOAH to get to my house. The rainsuit was awesome. I was completely dry even though the rain was coming down hard. One of the best purchases I have made for my riding comfort. I would highly recommend this product.

Gives plenty of room for bike jacket and normal clothes. Very light I carry in my backpack along with boot covers. Keeps me dry I love it.
Thunder Under One Piece Rain Suit Reviewby Gordon - verified purchaser
Seems to keep water out pretty well. The construction is more durable than I expected. Foot stirrups would be nice.
Awesome value!by Jason - verified purchaser
I bought this to keep in my saddlebag because I ride nearly every day. So far, I've had to use it about half a dozen times and once in a pretty hard downpour. It has performed flawless so far, and fits just right over my leather. I'm sure I'll wear it out eventually, but I'll definitely get another when the time comes because you just can't beat it for the price!
what you need when its wetby james Webster - verified purchaser
Man i love it its light but just heavy enough to handle being shoved in and out saddle bags backpacks so on it could use more reflection and pockets but awesome

One blockbuster and three other flicks make for a new lose situation for renters this week.
SPECTRE – Turns out our previous entry on this excellent Bond flick was merely for the digital release. Now it is available on Disc and worth wait for the extras that streaming doesn't offer. Response to this Bond effort was so high that star Daniel Craig signed up for three more and that's good news for fans as he gets his first recurring villain here .
CRIMSON PEAK – Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim) is back with another high concept horror yarn. This time he tackles the Gothic genre in a tale about a woman on the run after a family tragedy who married an exotic stranger. Turns out he lives in a huge, brooding, and remote castle that is very much alive. A fine cast (Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Jim Beaver and Charles Hunnam) shows up but this film belongs to the visuals. Great camera work and effects make the haunted home a major character here. It takes a little bit to get going but worth the trip.
MI-5 – Britain's long running spy series gets the film treatment here with Peter Firth returning as Pierce, the head of the C.I.A. like titular group. His team loses a terrorist in a routine transfer to the American authorities and a former agent, played by Kit Harrington of 'Game of Thrones,' is brought into find out what went wrong. Pierce goes off the radar and it becomes a hunt for him as well. Good stuff with plenty of action and double crosses.
99 HOMES – Drama fans will be absorbed by the events depicted in this topical film about underhanded business practices. Andrew Garfield(Spiderman) stars as a blue collar worker who loses his home to a foreclosure by a shady business group . He has to move his family into a cheap motel and struggles to get things together until an opportunity to make big bucks presents itself. This means going to work for the same shifty guy who took his home and keeping it all from his family. dependable cast sells this story with Michael Shannon as the shady tycoon.
Tom Doty is a columnist for The Floyd County Times.

Remember the post about the conversation I had with a co-worker about the "eye behind the camera lens"? In a nutshell, I admitted to her that I believe that the photos I take capture my emotions. This is so true for me, and I'd like to think that my photographs reflect love, hope, and peace.
I recently took a break from photography and our Canon Rebel Xsi (almost 4 weeks). I had to admit that I was burnt out from my workload. Then, there was an incident in the not too distant past that has hurt me deeply. No, someone did not cut me off at the Starbucks queue...
Since this blog is my happy place, I stepped away, careful not to let the negative seep in. I wanted to make sure to leave my happy place intact.
I pondered and waited. I wanted had make sure that I was OK before touching the lens again. The photography bug bit every so often, and I used my smartphone camera to capture those moments. It didn't fully sate my photography needs, but I didn't want to risk it.
There are days when I feel that the apology given was more to assuage their guilt than an honest understanding of what went wrong. There are days when I feel that it was a sincere apology, all things considered. Most days, I vacillate between the two.
The experience helped me realize who I valued the most. And, that while I have chosen not to pass judgment, there are people who will, and as often as they want. Just because.
The reality of it (at least for me) is that apology or no apology, there were certain things that one cannot unhear, unsee and unknow. Only time, and distance, will tell.
That being said, I choose to move ahead and beyond. I recharged my batteries, and loaded up my camera, and started small. I needed to get back to my happy place. To rebuild, and reinforce, so to speak.
Like a rider who has been thrown off one's horse, I have gotten back up, and glad to be riding again. There's a lot to be said about tapping into the very thing that makes one's soul sing, especially when one feels battered and bruised by the outside world.
Back to my fortified, reinforced, and moat-protected happy place. Thank you for your patience.

The excercise may sound like science meets Noel's House Party, but its organisers claim to have a genuine goal. They aim to establish through which of three media - television, radio or print - it is easiest to lie and get away with it.
The programme's producer, Anne Laking, said psychologists suggest it is easier to lie on television. Her show will put this to the test in 'a genuine live experiment with the nation'. The programme will feature a live link with a family, representative of all the families taking part. They plan to show two interviews in which a psychologist will question Sir Robin Day. In one session he will lie, in the other tell the truth. Viewers will be invited to ring in and say which they believe is which.
This is also something of a broadcasting experiment, with two other live, interactive experiments during the half- hour programme. Ms Laking claims the BBC can cope with 26,000 calls a minute and has allotted between five and seven minutes during which the team will deal with incoming calls, enter the results into a computer and present them.
The outcome will be revealed at the end of the programme. 'We plan to get all the results in during the show. It's a tall order . . . but I think we can do it. We could always come back to the subject in the next programme, but that would be a bit of a disaster.'
Tommorrow's World has an average audience of 4.5 million, occasionally rising to 7 million. 'The audience will not be statistically representative because they will be self- selected,' Ms Laking conceded. 'But the more people that do it the better.'
This morning Radio 1 will broadcast Sir Robin's interviews and the Daily Telegraph will print the text. Listeners and readers will ring one of two telephone hotlines to record which interview they think contains the lies.
The truth test was the winning entry of 'Megalab UK' - a competition to find an experiment that could be tested on all three media as part of National Week of Science, Engineering and Technology.

We Got Our iPhone's Fixed in Fort Worth
Dallas is a pretty wide open city. Both geographically as well as culturally speaking it's got a lot to offer. However some of the CKLR editors were recently enjoying the Texas weather and people, and being the iPhone nerds they are, had to stick their nose into the local cell phone repair scene and see what was going on. Given the amount of suburbs in Dallas, we chose to focus on one repair shop in the Fort Worth area and how they are doing things differently for Apple users in the area.
How We Found Fort Worth iPhone Repair
A quick Google search for phone repair in Dallas and the Fort Worth area yields tons of the normal competitors – Ubreakifix, CellSavers, local mom and pop shops – the area has it all. But for us, Fort Worth iPhone repair, despite it's mediocre name had an excellent website, and tons of reviews from local happy customers. CKLR editors visited their friendly shop and found some equally fanatical iPhone nerds. These guys know exactly what they are doing and are certainly passionate about providing an excellent repair experience. They aren't looking to throw a cheap screen on your beloved iPhone 6S, make a quick buck and kick you out – they seem to actually care about explaining the third party iPhone repair process to the average consumer. Many people are wary of this type of repair option, and it's always nice to see legit businesses do their part to help users make an informed on what exactly is happening with their phone when they bring it in.
Testing Out iPhone 6 Repair in DFW
In terms of the actual quality of repair, we did indeed try them out. We sacrificed our iPhone 6 screen for..uh…science. We smashed it and had the professional iPhone repair technicians at Fort Worth iPhone Repair give it their best chance to wow us and our own set of Apple nerds. Suffice to say, we checked their work and it was stellar. The screen they installed was of superior quality, and the process was painless, convenient and not priced out of range at all. A complete iPhone 6 screen replacement cost us $130 as of September 2016 and the installation and part was backed by a solid 60 day warranty which made us feel pretty good about things. Peace of mind is always something we look for in mobile device repairs, considering how many small shops there are that use mediocre quality parts in the Dallas area.
Overall, we would definitely recommend the repair services of Fort Worth iPhone Repair if you find yourself on the outskirts of Dallas. They have several different locations serving the Burleson, Frisco and Sherman areas and seem like a great bunch of guys who care about the end product.

Boost iPhone Battery Life Easily
If you are an iPhone 4S or 5 owner, and have had your device for 10-12 months you're likely annoyed and frustrated with the degradation of the overall batter life. As is usually the case, fixing individual hardware problems is not the easiest to do officially through Apple. Extra charging accesories are a pain and a bandaid solution, but the fact is that replacing the battery is often easier and much less expensive then you may think. However, there are even some software changes you can make right now that should extend your overall iPhone battery duration so you can make it through your day or long enough to get through work.
Software Options For Saving iPhone Battery Life in Tampa
Disabling or toggling off apps that use massive amounts of battery life is the first thing you can do to make sure you get a boost.You can also minimize screen brightness, but at a certain point this will only become a problem as the summer months of 2016 bring more hours of brighter sunlight. Ultimately, the best option is getting a local Tampa cell phone repair shop to replace the actual hardware battery and get your phone lasting the entire day no matter how many apps or YouTube videos you want to watch or run.
There are indeed low quality replacement batteries floating around on the market, especially in the Tampa area, and this is something you'll want to avoid. The savings are minimal, and installation of a weak battery can not only have a horrible duration, but may actually leak acid and do damage to the interior of your phone. Be sure there is a clear and concise warranty with whichever Tampa cell phone repair shop you go with and that they have an established track record for quality repairs using quality components.
There are tons of accessories like battery boosting iPhone cases you can purchase to get the most out of your iPhone, but our best recommendation would be a place like Tampa iPhone Repair – they can get a simple battery replacement done in 30 minutes and you can easily extend the lifespan of your older device for a few months at least.

Well aware of that song; shame how some people never get their dues.
Shame how other people prosper without paying any.
Well aware of that song; shame how some people never get their dues.
Shame how other people prosper without paying any.
i'm pretty sure if you look at the song credits on The Black Album, i'm sure it says "contains a sample of 99 Problems (or whatever its called) by Ice T", infact i'm pretty sure he put down everything like that in the credits, all the Biggie stuff etc
i might be wrong though, but i was thinking the same as you until i actually looked. and i'm sure that i was satisfied that he'd gave people credit somewhere, and i'm sure he did it on some previous albums too.
everyone knows that shit ... trick daddy got a song 99 problems which jacks the entire concept of ice-t's song about different bitches of different ethnicities ... but how many of you know the UGK song where jay jacked the lines
"now once upon a time not too long ago
a nigga like me hard to strong arm a ho
this is not a ho in a sense of havin a pussy
but of a pussy not havin no god damn sense"
jay ripped that word for word and i'm sure it's off ridin dirty ...
LOL you just disocering his biting now? ... and this the man people name the GOAT? ... please
I wanna see a list of every track that Hov bit. Its gotta exceed 30 tracks. I didnt know about this. I never bought a Ice T record. I heard shit but didnt like it enough to ever buy a tape or whatever. New jack Hustler was my shit though when it came out. I had that soundtrack.
BACK ON TOPIC THOUGH - I wanna see a list of all the times Jay bit rhymes. I know a few. I knew about the UGK line.
Its fucked up cuz in Fade to Black , Hov doesnt say anything about Ice T during that Rick Rubin session. I'm gonna pop in the dvd and check again but I'm almost sure that he tried to play the shit all off as improve down to the hook. idk

Stop defending Jigga blindly, only people that know this would be Ice T fans. Home Invasion came out in 93, to poor reviews, and at a time when he was losing alot of fans. Stop acting like everybody fucking knows this album.

I'm putting this webcomic on hiatus again, I'm sorry. I don't know for how long.
I don't know where I'm going with this story. I like my characters but I don't feel like I can tell their story. I can't tell what I want and I feel like it's going the wrong way... I started this webcomic as some trash/sketchy/test comic and it became more than I could handle...
I started working on my other webcomic, Out of control, again, very seriously, and I'm thinking of submitting it to mangamagazine.net or something like that.
I'll update as soon as I know what I'm doing.
Thank you to everyone who followed me until there! Evert comment and every favorite make me really happy!

I have finally a scanner and I'm glad I can post the first page of the principal part of the story now! (I was afraid I would have to wait several weeks!)
I tried a different kind of coloring, with colored inks. If I made any mistakes in English please tell me!
I sketched and inked the next pages, so up should be able to become regular soon!

School is restarting soon and I'll have more time to draw! (after the exams, then works, then moving I didn't have a lot of time, really! ;;)

Fascinatingly, it would seem that our pachydermic friends possess self-awareness. The Self-Awareness Club is pretty exclusive. We've got us, some other apes, and bottlenose dolphins (by the way, dolphins are fucking badass). And now, apparently, elephants.
This leads the whimsical and optimistic side of me to imagine a future, some thousands and millions of years off, when descendant variations from all of us in the Self-Awareness Club give us three or more intelligent species coexisting and communicating in an impossible utopian future. Is the next step in evolution after self-awareness a gradual slide toward full-fledged intelligence? In the future, how many intelligent species will our planet produce? What are the chances that our direct descendants will still be around to interact with them? Will there be elephant-run space colonies?
Questions like these are what really make me (again in a fairly whimsical mode) wish that there were some sort of afterlife. As I tend to lament while intoxicated, I wish I could be around to see it all.
While doing some quick research for this post, I came across Wikipedia's intriguing entry on elephant communication. Sub-sonic resonance that travels long distance in the ground to be picked up by other elephants' feet? Nifty. Very nifty.

I believe it's better that all the files Geronimo accesses remain inside its directory hierarchy. As a newbie I used to edit files inside Tomcat directories, but then I realized it's a bad idea. To follow Tomcat deployment: how about a hot deploy directory where you could copy your WARs (and EARs later)

I actually have quite a bit to write about, a lot has been happening but I won't bore you will all the nitty gritty.
This past weekend I looked after my two younger cousins, taking them to school and back, making sure that they were at their sporting events and making sure that they were fed and I can proudly say that I got a thumbs up from my Aunt and Uncle on their return. I do sympathize with single parents though, especially ones who have full time jobs! Because taking care of kids is definitely a fulltime job!
I had to take some time out on Saturday evening to host the FUSUN Live festival in Hatfield square which was awesome, I am most definitely looking forward to the next one!
This week has been a crazy one and it was supposed to be my holiday week, and we are only two days into it!
I visited The Melrose Aesthetics Centre on Monday morning and checked into the dentist first as I will be doing a teeth whitening treatment over the next few weeks, then I checked in to have my BBL treatment which is a laser treatment for the face. I was quite chuffed to hear the doc say that I did not really need it however the treatment will rejuvenate the skin and clear up any blemishes and scars and help prevent acne in the future.
I have to admit though, the procedure was a little bit uncomfortable but yet, my pain tolerance is not really that high and I just kept saying to myself: "No pain, no gain!"
Nonetheless my skin is feeling great and looks new! And it has only been a day since I had it done!!
As most of you know I have been punting for support for the Rapport model competition this year. It is something I would really like to win especially given the fact that one of the prizes is a car. Voters also stand a chance to win a trip to Mauritius with us when we go and shoot the calendar in October.
It is pretty easy for South Africans to vote, all you have to do is text "Rapport/Man10" to 35584.
So! That's it from me for now! Hope you all have a super week further!

Now that my regular readers here have gotten all the way through The Crimson Badger, I thought some of you might be interested in reading some of the "outtakes" from that novel, featuring scenes from the rough draft which never made it into the final version, or did, but in a rather different form.
Those of you who attentively read my novel - my very first work of Redwall fanfiction, drafted by hand on lined notebook paper mostly during my breaks at my job between 1995 and 1997 - may be interested to learn that the story was originally set about half a generation after Mattimeo, and featured many of Brian Jacques' characters from that novel. When it came time to post The Crimson Badger online in 2001, I knew I would have to rewrite the tale with characters entirely of my own, since my initial vision presented in the first draft no longer matched the published series. Thus, Abbess Tess became Vanessa, Auma became Maura, Sam became Alexander, Cheek became Montybank (and a little bit of Winokur too, although Wink was also in the original version in a much smaller role), old Matthias became old Arlyn, Sister May became Sister Aurelia, and some characters had to be eliminated altogether. Which brings us to the character of ... Martin II. Or should that be Martin III, since we learned in The Legend of Luke that Luke's father was also named Martin? Wotever ...
In any case, my vision of Martin II (or III) turned out to be quite different from the more stereotypical heroic mouse and Abbey Champion Brian Jacques gave us in Pearls of Lutra. Saddled with the name of Redwall's founding Warrior and greatest hero, I could not see him being anything but resentful at having such expectations piled upon him. I loved creating and writing that character, but sadly there was no place for him in the revised version, so he had to be jettisoned altogether. However, I came to realize that his excised scenes played well enough on their own that they almost constituted a separate story independent of the final, online version of The Crimson Badger. Thus, here are all of the scenes in which Martin II/III either appeared or was prominently mentioned. And, as a side note, I will also reveal that these scenes were transcribed directly from the handwritten manuscript, with no effort made to correct punctuation, grammar or sentence structure; they are a glimpse into what the original draft of The Crimson Badger was like when first set down on paper. Hope you enjoy these samples of the Martin that could have been!
Two mice named Martin gazed at each other across the ages.
One of them, Martin the Warrior, was woven of thread and cloth. His image adorned the tapestry which hung in Great Hall, Redwall's largest chamber, above Cavern Hole. The ancient tapestry was the Abbey's most prized treasure, dating back to the earliest generations of Redwall. At the base of the tapestry stood the Abbey's warrior and founder, but successive generations had added to it, and so the cloth was far more than mere decoration; visitors to Great Hall could take in at a glance many of the key moments in Redwall history, boldly embroidered for all to see, a fluttering, beautiful chronicle of colored fabric. But for all the additions and all the years represented, it was still the image of Martin, resplendent with his shield and sword, that dominated the tapestry and drew the eye to it before all else.
The other Martin - flesh and blood and very much alive - stared forlornly at his long-dead namesake. Heaving a melancholy sigh, he asked aloud the question he'd been asking all his life.
"Why did they give me your name? What were they thinking? Didn't they know what it would do to me?"
His softly spoken works died away before they'd penetrated very far into Great Hall's cathedral-like immensity. On the tapestry before him, shifting ever so slightly upon a gentle draft, the expression of Martin the Warrior remained unchanged, a mix of pride, courage and benevolence. To the younger Martin, that confident countenance seemed almost to be mocking him.
The afternoon sun sent its rays through the tall stained glass windows high up on the western wall, spilling vivid multicolors across the stone floor at the far end of Great Hall and creeping slowly up the opposite wall, where eventually the colored reflections from one set of windows would meet the frosted panes of their east-facing counterparts. Most Redwallers would have drunk in the beauty of this daily summer display, but young Martin was oddly immune to it all.
Soft patterings and high-pitched giggles from overhead told Martin that two of the Abbey's children were playing up in the gallery that ran around Great Hall. From the sound of it, they were chasing each other in a game of tag or some such nonsense. Martin wished they would go back outside with the other Nameday revellers. He wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
Summer of the Three Warriors, indeed! Did his parents actually work at making his life miserable, or did it just come naturally?
There was a minor commotion of voices and footsteps behind him. The meeting down in Cavern Hole was finally getting out. Martin didn't really want to be seen by Urthblood or the Redwaller elders. For a moment he contemplated ducking behind one of the sandstone columns, but he didn't want to look foolish either, so he stood his ground, impassively ignoring the creatures coming up the short flight of broad steps into Great Hall.
Urthblood and some of the others glanced his way, but none paid him much notice since he seemed wrapped up in his thoughts. The Abbess wished to offer the Badger Lord a repast from whatever food was still left from the feast, and then give him a preliminary tour of the Abbey grounds. The group passed through Great Hall and out into the late afternoon air.
All except for Matthias.
Seeing his grandson before the tapestry, Redwall's elder Warrior padded across the red sandstone floor to where Martin stood. Glancing at the woven treasure as he stopped by the young mouse's side, he said cheerfully, "Having a talk with Martin, Martin?"
If it had been anyone else, Martin might have resented the intrusion. But he was fond of his grandfather, and didn't mind the sudden company. Not too much, anyway.
Martin slowly shook his head. "He only talks to warriors. Like you. And Dad."
"You know that's not true. The spirit of Martin will speak to any goodbeast in time of need. Many times in our history he has visited us, in dreams and visions. He watches over us all, always."
"He has never spoken to me," said young Martin. "Guess I've never been in need enough."
Matthias changed the subject on his temperamental grandson. "You should have been down there at that council."
"What for? Wasn't it all about war and battles and fighting?"
"What makes you think that?" Matthias asked.
Martin gave a mirthless laugh. "I saw that badger. A beast like that doesn't concern itself overmuch with peaceful matters. And I doubt that the Abbey leaders could have been called away from our precious Nameday celebration over some trivial concern."
Matthias nodded in appreciation of his grandson's astuteness. "A logical conclusion ... although the way you were acting at the feast, one could suppose Mattimeo and the Abbess might have been looking for an excuse to duck out. At least most of the guests seemed to have a good time in spite of you."
"Ah, well," Martin said lightly, his voice laden with sarcasm, "I guess I just can't pass up a chance to spoil everybeast's good time."
Matthias gave him a smack across the ear.
Martin turned to his grandfather in shock, clutching at his stinging extremity. He expected the elder warrior's face to be a mask of fury, but Matthias wore the same calm and benevolent expression as Martin the Warrior up on the tapestry.
"Just getting your attention," Matthias said, his tone still quite friendly. "I never raised my paw to Mattimeo when he was a youngster, wild as he was sometimes, and neither of us ever raised a paw to you. Perhaps that was a mistake. But you're an adult now, and you've got some growing up to do if you want to become a Redwaller. There may be hard times ahead, for all of us."
Martin found he could not stay angry at his grandfather, not even for having struck him. "You've always understood me better than anyone else. I can't help the way I am."
Matthias sadly shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't understand you at all. Everything you need to make you happy is right here, all around you, every day. All you need to do is reach out and take it. And yet you seem to enjoy being miserable. Why be so sullen and alone, when there's no reason for it?"
Martin shrugged and said nothing.
"You do realize what it is about you that frustrates us so, don't you? Your parents especially. It's that we care about you and want to see you happy. And when you make it so obvious that you aren't, it makes us unhappy as well." Matthias gave the forlorn younger mouse a searching glance. "Just tell us what we can do for you, Martin. Give us something to go on. You've got to at least meet us halfway on this."
Martin's gaze remained on the tapestry. "A different name would be nice."
"It's a bit late for that, I'm afraid. As a matter of fact, I worry that you may have missed your best chance to be happy. From what Lord Urthblood says, there may be precious little opportunity for any of us to enjoy small snatches of happiness in the days and months ahead."
"Sounds like just the kind of thing Dad would welcome," Martin said, turning away from the tapestry and walking past Matthias. "Maybe he'll get a chance to swing that sword he loves so much. I'm going up to my room now. Give the warlord my regards."
"Don't you want to know more of what was said in the council?" Matthias asked after Martin's retreating back.
"I'm sure I'll be hearing all about it," Martin replied over his shoulder as he disappeared up the stairs to the dormitory levels.
The sun had nearly set below the western wall when Matthias emerged from Great Hall after his talk with young Martin, and most of the Abbey grounds were covered in lengthening shadows. He saw the others from the council standing by the feast tables, except for Cheek and Sam, who by this time had wandered off toward the pond. Matthias ambled toward them.
Auma noticed him coming and walked over to meet him partway. "What did Martin have to say for himself?" the badger matriarch inquired in a low voice.
"He wasn't much interested in what went on in the council," Matthias sighed. "He's gone up to his room."
"To sulk and be sullen, no doubt." Auma shook her striped head. "We've all tried to bring that fellow up right. I just can't figure him out."
"He follows his own path, no doubt about that." Matthias held out the sleeves of his mulitcolored habit, eager to change the subject. "Just look at this! I feel like a clown in this harlequin's robe. I never should have let Tess talk me into wearing it, not even for Nameday. Of all the days for a Badger Lord to show up at our gates, it would have to be the one when I'm dressed up like a travelling show fool!"
Auma looked askance at him. "Oh, I don't know, Matthias. I think it makes you look rather regal. You're just being a temperamental old mouse."
"I'm a retired warrior," Matthias said with mock self-importance. "We're allowed to be temperamental. It's a privilege of the rank."
Laughing, the two friends joined the others at the tables.
Martin stood in the corridor just outside his half-opened dormitory room door. Deep in her own thoughts, Auma didn't notice him until she'd almost collided with the young mouse.
"Oh. Hello, Martin."
Rather than return her salutation, Martin continued to glare toward the far end of the hallway where Urthblood's new quarters were located. "He's not staying up here, in your father's old room, is he?"
"What better place for him in all of Redwall?" Auma said, struggling to remain civil. Martin's demeanor wasn't making it easy for her. "Why? Do you have a problem with this?"
"I would have preferred he be put on another level, or in another wing."
Auma felt her hackles rising. "Well, I'm sorry we can't arrange all Abbey matters around your whims. How can you say such a thing? You haven't even made any effort to get to know Lord Urthblood."
"And I don't care to. I saw enough of him when he came through the gate, and when he came up out of Cavern Hole. He is a warlike creature, and I'd rather not associate with such a beast."
This was too much for Auma. "Now listen here, you impertinent little sulk. Your behavior at today's feast was bad enough, but don't you even think about insulting Lord Urthblood. He is a guest of Redwall, and will be extended the same courtesy as any other visitor, by every Redwaller ... yourself included. If a little plain civility is too much for you to manage, then perhaps you should keep to your room while he is staying with us."
"Perhaps I should. Tell Friar Hugh to have my meals sent up to me." Martin turned to go back into his dorm, but Auma caught him on the shoulder with her massive paw, halting him in mid-turn.
"Not so fast. Your mother and father want to see you in their study."
He shrugged her paw free. "I'm an adult now, Auma. I'm not going to go running at their beck and call to receive scoldings like a naughty infant."
Auma took his arm and levered him fully into the corridor. "You are mistaken, Martin. All Redwallers are subject to a summons from their Abbot or Abbess. Just because you are Tess's son does not excuse you, or give you the right to disregard their call. Now, will you go of your own accord, or do you require me to escort you down?"
Martin leaned out and shut his door. "I can find my own way. I've been treated like a child enough today."
Auma relaxed her grip, seeing that he wasn't about to escape back into his room. "You know, Martin, you could have at least pretended to have a good time today. It would have meant a lot to your parents, and the rest of us."
"Then they should not have chosen to name this the Summer of the Three Warriors, or insisted that I attend as a guest of honor. They know I dislike being the center of attention."
"Well, maybe they thought you could put all that aside for just one day and not spoil the mood. Obviously, they were wrong." Auma shook her head. "Getting up and leaving in the middle of your father's speech! Can't you show even a little respect?"
"Maybe if they'd respect my wishes, I'd respect theirs."
"And what about Matthias? Your grandfather doted on you long after most of the rest of us gave up trying to reach you. This celebration, and the name we chose for this season, was as much for his honor as yours. Three Warriors, Martin - Matthias, Mattimeo and you, even though you reject the name. Matthias is quite old. He had no reason to believe he'd live long enough to see you come of age to take the sword. Even if you declined the weapon, you should have accepted the honor, for your grandfather's sake if nothing else."
"My grandfather is the only one who understands me well enough not to place conditions on our friendship. He accepts me for what I am, and doesn't try to force me to be what I'm not. I think he was as uncomfortable seeing me forced to attend today's feast as I was to be there. I spoke with him after the meeting in Cavern Hole. If I offended him this afternoon, he didn't show it."
"Ah ... and what was that smack on the ear he gave you?"
"Oh. He told you about that."
Auma nodded. "You've made us all very upset with you today, Martin, and not even Lord Urthblood's arrival can make us forget your behavior. I did my part to raise you as best I could. You're of age now, and I've got other young ones to mother and nurture. You still have some growing up to do, and you'll have to do it on your own, because I can't help you anymore."
Martin started down the stone staircase, on his way to his parents' chamber. Auma merely watched him go, shaking her head in sad bewilderment, as she always seemed to after a talk with the troubled young mouse.
"Where did we go wrong with him?" she asked the empty corridor.
"Where did we go wrong with you?" Mattimeo demanded of his son a short time later.
In all the scoldings he'd received from his father during all the seasons of his young life, Martin usually wore either of two expressions. One was anguish, with his features screwed up as though he might cry out at any moment, although he never would shed so much as a single tear. As he grew toward adulthood, that appearance of inner turmoil had been increasingly replaced by one of boredom. He'd been on the receiving end of his warrior father's tirades and chastisements so many times that he seemed not to care anymore. Mattimeo's angry words would bounce off him without effect; sometimes it was impossible to tell whether Martin was even listening, for his face remained blank and his attention seemed to be elsewhere. Perhaps he retreated into some inner part of himself, dwelling upon secret thoughts that he shared with nobeast.
This was the expression he wore now, and it was only serving to worsen Mattimeo's black temper.
The atmosphere in the room was positively charged with tension. This was the study of Abbess Tess, just as it had previously served as the study for old Abbot Mordalfus, and Abbot Mortimer before that, and any number of Abbots and Abbesses before them. Much of Redwall history had been played out in this chamber, decisions of great importance made here in times of crisis or upheaval. But rarely had a mood of outright enmity existed within this refuge for the Abbey's highest leaders.
"Have you nothing to say for yourself?" Mattimeo tried to bore into his son with his angry eyes, but could not connect with Martin's disinterested gaze. It was like trying to drill through water.
Martin waited several moments before deigning to answer. "I'm only here at the summons of the Abbess. If this is all you have to say, I'll leave now."
Mattimeo paced back and forth in frustration. "When I was a youngster, I had a wild streak a mile wide, and got into more mischief than anybeast at Redwall. I was always expecting the same from you, and I'm sure I could have handled that. But not this, Martin. You're sullen, disrespectful, rude, withdrawn ... and no matter how I've tried to reach you, you won't let me through. I have tried to make a warrior out of you, tried as hard as I know how. And still ... nothing."
Martin let an edge of bitterness creep into his voice. "Perhaps you should not have tried to MAKE me anything, Father."
"You ruined our Nameday festival," Mattimeo accused. "I almost think you did it by design. You had no right to do that."
"Oh? And you had no right to expect me to be a legend."
"When did I ever tell you that?"
"On the day I was born, and every day since then." The young mouse shook his head. "I am not Martin the Warrior, but I cannot escape from him. He lives in every corner of Redwall. Everybeast here expected me to be just like him. But no one ever asked me how I felt about it."
"That's no excuse for the way you acted today."
"Actually, it is," Martin challenged. "And if you'd only stop to think it through, you'd see how true that is."
Mattimeo paced back and forth, teeth clenched, glancing between his son and the floor. "From this day on I will stop trying to make you into a decent citizen of Redwall, or correct your atrocious manners. I had all of that I can stand, and if I don't let it go now I'll make myself sick. Your behavior is no longer my concern. If you wish to act so insolent and drive away every beast who might extend you their friendship, that is your affair. Maybe you may still find the warrior's way. Lord Urthblood warns of a great crisis coming, and weak, selfish creatures never fare well in such times. Maybe such a crisis is what you've needed all this time, to bring out your true mettle. Lord knows, the soft living of peace hasn't done much to build your character into that of a worthy beast. Perhaps war will succeed for you where I have failed."
Martin's tone grew angry to match his father's. "You'd actually like that, wouldn't you? A nice little war, all for my benefit. Tell me, Father, how many creatures would have to suffer and die in order for me to prove myself to your satisfaction?"
This made Mattimeo even angrier. "You've never understood what it means to be a warrior! You've never even tried! We don't relish war ... we abhor it, perhaps more than anybeast, because we're the ones who have to fight, and kill, and sometimes lay down our own lives for the sake of this Abbey, and our way of life. But I guess that doesn't mean much to you, does it?"
"Do you really believe that, Father? Are you sure that warlike brute who's come into our midst hasn't stirred your battle lust and got you spoiling for some beasts to slay?"
Mattimeo clenched his fists, and Martin braced himself for a blow. But it never came.
"No. No, I will not strike you, however much you goad me." Mattimeo's voice was level, but the eyes of the warrior mouse were red-flecked with rage. "I won't compound my failure even more by doing that. Just tell me one thing, Martin: if the enemies of Redwall came to our gate tomorrow and threatened to slaughter and enslave us all, would you even then refuse to pick up arms and defend your home and family?"
Martin was silent for a few moments, then he answered, flatly and simply, "I don't know."
When Mattimeo next spoke, he sounded drained and tired. "You are a disgrace to the name of Martin and the spirit of Redwall, and an embarrassment to this family."
"Maybe I am," Martin said calmly, retreating to his former ambivalent attitude. "But if you're disappointed because I've failed to meet the goals you set for me before I was even born, don't expect me to be too upset about it."
Mattimeo turned away from his son, glowering wordlessly at the corner of the study.
"Martin, why do you hate your father so?" the Abbess asked softly.
"I don't hate him, Mother. I don't wish harm to any creature. I merely resent that I have never been allowed the chance to be who I would have become on my own, without the name of a legend or the expectations of an entire abbey weighing upon me. Maybe that's why I like to be by myself: I'm searching for the mouse I could have been. But Redwall isn't a very easy place in which to seek solitude."
"Then maybe you should consider leaving," Mattimeo said to the corner.
Martin looked at his father's back. "The thought has crossed my mind."
Tess held up both paws. "Please, please, both of you ... Much has been said here in the heat of anger. Perhaps these were things that needed to be said, but with emotions running so high, I would not hold either of you to remarks you might have made differently, or not at all, in calmer and cooler moments. I am speaking now as Abbess, not wife or mother. The family of Redwall has room for all but evil creatures, and I do not see any of those in this chamber. So do not speak lightly - either of you - about one of us leaving our community."
She turned to her son. "Martin, I know you have problems and feelings that you have to work out, and maybe we are even partly to blame for that, as you maintain. But no other creature can get into your heart and mind, and you are an adult now. We can no longer raise you or school you like a child. Whatever answers you need to solve your dilemma, you must find them within yourself. You have made it plain you do not wish to assume the mantle of warrior, or have others tell you what you should be. Very well ... be your own mouse, with all my blessing. Look within yourself, and find the beast you truly are. But never forget that you are surrounded by creatures who would gladly extend you their love and friendship, and will help you if they are able. As long as you do no harm, I would urge you to remain here at Redwall, to enjoy the comforts and protection of this Abbey. Perhaps you will find a place among us more easily than you imagine."
"And if what I seek is not to be found at Redwall?"
"Then ... then, I suppose, you must go where you will. But it is one thing if you depart of your own choice, and quite another if you feel you are forced to leave by ill will." Tess looked toward her husband, her face defiant in spite of the wetness in the corners of her eyes. "I shall not allow that to happen to any creature of Redwall, least of all to my own son." She turned back to Martin. "Some of my very closest friends have become convinced that you can never be happy, because you prefer to be miserable. I believe otherwise, even if the way to happiness has not yet shown itself to your troubled spirit. Someday, I hope, you will find contentment, and enjoy the friendship of your fellow creatures. And I would rather that happen here, where we may all enjoy the benefit of your comradeship. But if your road leads elsewhere ... " And now a tear did roll down Tess's cheek, "Well, I can at least hope you'll find your way back to us, if only for a visit once in awhile."
If Martin was at all moved by his mother's display of emotion, he gave no outward sign. "I'll be up in my room, trying to find myself," he announced, and left his parents without another word.
Tess let her tears flow freely now. After an awkward moment of uncertainty, Mattimeo crossed the study and embraced her tenderly.
"Why, oh why can't he be happy, Matti?" she sobbed into her husband's shoulder.
Mattimeo's heart was torn by seeing his wife reduced to tears. He cradled her gently. "If I didn't love him, I'd kill him," he murmured to the wall. "I swear I would."

The pizzeria is now Isabella's. Absolutely deelish pizza. Fresh ingredients made to my specifications and never soggy
Isabella's is a great place for pizza and great deals. Always have specials on the 20" pizzas and often have family specials that include salad and soda to round out meal. Pizza is very good and cheesy bread is fantastic. Can still play chess at the tables while you wait.
I've enjoyed Checkmate's delicious pizzas but my real reason for ordering takeout from Checkmate is their Meatball sub. It is the best I've had in the Salem area.
My wife and I wanted a pizza and happened to be going by Checkmate Pizza last Sunday. We ordered a cheese pizza and it cost approx $12. It was the worst pizza we ever had. Made with cheap products. We actually threw most of it away. It was really awful. The other people giving reviews have to be relatives. I...
Fresh ingredients, flavorable, good sized dishes cooked to perfection!!!! They deliver,can order from on line or call. Coupons flyers available. Well worth the money for sure!!!
made a call and picked up the pizza. was most delicious meat pizza i have had in a long time. crust was crunchy from the outter crust to the center...hate when we get a delivery and the center of the pizza is juice...this is not the case with CheckMate's pizza.....yummmmmmmm
As a "newbie" to the area, I've heard some (not a lot, but some) good things about Checkmate Pizza in Salem. I was passing by today and decided to check them out. We in, ordered a small pizza and planned to run a few errands while it was cooking. Right away, I noticed things that not only colored my perception...
Order roasted veggie sub twice from checkmate. Got cold lettuce and tomatoes on a roll the first time and non-roasted veggies the second time (yuck). Last order was told it would be 30 minutes. Order came an hour later, so fries were old, cold and soggy. The subs were also soggy. ($48). They never tried to fix things correctly. Had...
I love their specials on Monday and Tuesday $5 large cheese pizza! Their pizza is fresh and tastes great. Friendly staff too
Checkmate has a great online ordering option that I love. It's really easy and fast to use. Their delivery has always been quick and prompt. I have ordered their pizzas and salads before. My family loves the "Pawn" pizza and I really like their Greek salads. I have yet to order and pick up the food so I have not...

From missing chemicals worth millions to a man chosen by the company president, Into the Air stands as a shocking scientific detective story.
Was it the chance of a lifetime? Or was it a trap? Ignoring the shadows of a high-stakes game of deception, a talented engineer tries to play it straight as a series of events lead him through every aspect of a polymer industry, from raw materials to finished products. He is stunned by the human cost of the business to which he has committed his life. Will it be fight or flight in the corporate jungle?
The gas alarm was blowing. Men were running out of Building 512. Was It more dangerous out here? He was standing on the cinder driveway looking at the root.
Whoosh! One of the vent pipes on the roof erupted like a Yellowstone geyser, blasting chemicals and sudsy water into the air. Another rupture disk had broken, and the reactor was spewing its contents into the hot Texas sky. The vinyl chloride gas would disperse instantly, falling below the explosive limit.
A seurity guard ran up. He told the guard to get the men away from the building. A snow of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) particles was already beginning to fall. The men should move upwind so that they would get as little of the white powder fallout as possible.
Most of the PVC particles were falling on the roofs of 512 and 510, the administration building. A gust of wind drove a cloud of the white dust across the parking lot near 510. The chemical blizzard would fill the crevices of the cars with white resin powder.
Splat! Another reactor belched into the air. The building foreman and the security guards had moved the men over to 514. Everyone was out of 512.
There were probably no gas leaks inside 512. Otherwise a concentration of vinyl chloride could build up that would fall within the explosive limits, the mixture range of air and vinyl chloride that could explode with devastating force, blasting 512 apart and levelling the entire plant.
The gas alarm was still sounding. He wondered if the voice-activated recorder in his shirt pocket was picking it up. C had congratualted him on his promortion, but she thought that his new assignment was risky and that he should keep a journal. He took her advice. He was transitioning from his position as PVC plant chief chemist to head up a new lab at the Experimental Station where she was employed.
He was still chief chemist for a few more days; and he wondered if P, the PVC plant manager, would try to lay some blame around. Recently reactors had been going out of control more often, and management was not pleased.
When the gas alarm first sounded, all feeds to the reactors in 512 had been shut off. He hoped there would be no solid charges. It would take days to chop the PVC out of a reactor that went solid. Only one man at a time could work inside a reactor. It was a hard, dirty job; but there were usually volunteers to do it. Were some of the guys hooked on vinyl chloride?
What was going wrong? P had appointed a committee to find out. The chief chemist was a member; but no one individual could be blamed for the lack of progress in solving the problem,
The gas alarm stopped blowing; and the men walked back to 512 laughing and joking. The wind had almost cleared the chemical aroma from the area. He could not smell vinyl chloride: his abilty to detect the sweet odor had been deadened a long time ago by constant exposure. He could smell the peroxide initiator and the hexane used as iniator solvent. He was grateful for the wind.
He thought P would blame the upset on a power failure. That would satisfy any inquiring City officials or newspaper reporters.
He walked into 512. The reactors were on the second floor; each had a separate vent pipe leading to the roof. The PVC plant buildings looked like junkyard birthday cakes.
Below the reactors, on the first floor, were the blowdown tanks. When a reaction was completed, the contents of the reactor were pumped down into its blowdown tank, where the unreacted vinly chloride was separated from the rest of the mixture and sent to storage tanks to be used again.
A year ago, he had suggested that the roof vents be connected to a header pipe leading to an emergency blowdown tank. When a reactor blew out, the chemicals would not go into the air. Instead they could be collected and maybe used again. This would also keep the PVC plant from looking as if had been permently dusted with snow. His suggestion had been indefinitely tabled, but it had given him a dubious reputation of being interested in environmental problems.
What had really caused the reactor blowouts? Was it an impurity in the vinyl chloride that had arrived recently from River City? Probably not. He had found no more than the usual impurities in this last shipment. Something new was unlikely because the gas chromatograph would have shown a strange peak.
It could be the water. The PVC plant used City drinking water in its processes. Until five years ago, the drinking water could be used without further treatment. Then trouble began with reactor blowouts, solid charges, and fisheyes -- particles that would not take up dye and plasticizer as easily as the rest of the polymer.
Extraction of the drinking water with organic solvents followed by gas chromatography revealed the presence of many strange organic chemicals. These chromatogram peaks had grown larger over the years, and some new peaks had appeared. More activated carbon columns were added, but organic chemicals in the drinking water were still getting through.
He wondered if new kinds of chlorine-resistant bacteria were growing in the water, eating the organic chemicals. These bacteria could interfere with the chemical reaction as the vinyl chloride monomer molecules joined together to form the long PVC polymer molecules.
What was to be done? The City cooperated by adding more chlorine to the drinking water, but that was limited by the taste of the water. It was not enough.
Was bacteria growing in the large drinking water storage tanks at the PVC plant? P had not been interested in experiments exploring this path; but the blowouts today might change his mind."

Mr. Greenlaw: Thanks for your response. I failed to include one more question in my earlier post. One other footnote to Table 29-B (18-B in later versions of UBC) indicates that the sliding resistance (subject to some maximum value) may be combined with lateral bearing. If I decide to take advantage of this provision, how can I apply it? Can I subtract the sliding resistance from 'P' in the formula for 'A'? That is, is the following formula valid? A = (2.34*(P-Sliding Resistance))/(S1 * b) Thanks in advance. Raj.

General "As I told our football team, it's very hard to lose a game like that, where you play exceptionally on defense throughout the game. We were in poor field position at times, but you can't have five turnovers in a football game in the National Football League and expect to win. We battled, we fought, but we made too many mistakes."
On QB Jay Cutler
"I think he did pretty good for his first game. I'm a little disappointed in myself – I think we put maybe a little too much in the game plan. [Cutler's first interception] was a bad play. We had a quarterback keep an [defensive] end came right up field. Instead of keeping the ball and maybe taking a sack or throwing it away, he tried to make a play and it ended up a touchdown. You learn by that mistake – all quarterbacks go through that learning process. He battled in there. That's what's expected."
Did he second-guess his decision to start Cutler?
"No, I've told you all along that you make those decisions and you go on. You make them over a long period of time and it doesn't happen quickly. Even though at times, especially tonight, it may not appear to be the right decision, I believe it is."
On K Jason Elam's rush on the fake field goal
"The reason why we ran the field goal fake is because we thought it was a good time to run it. Going into the game, on the left hash, they really over-loaded that side. We thought, even if we didn't get the touchdown, we would get the first down, and still have a chance to get in."
On the running game
"We were pretty good in the running game. We averaged a lot of yards, but you go back to turnovers – that's the name of the game. If you run the ball like that every game, we'll be the top rushing team in the National Football League."
"I don't know what we had rushing, but it felt like it was pretty good. We just couldn't get any rhythm going. We had to be about 25-30% on third downs, and any time you're in that area, you can't sustain a lot of drives. I think it was the same thing with Seattle. They couldn't sustain a lot of drives."
On Elam's injury status
"He said he could kick. When he kicked that extra point [fourth quarter], it looked like he didn't have a lot of 'umph.' Mentally, he was there, but I'm not sure if he was physically."
Will the team focus on securing a Wild Card position?
"You don't focus on those things. You just focus on winning each game. All you can do is control the next week, and whatever happens, happens. Obviously, common sense says that your chances for the division title aren't very good. Common sense says if you win the rest of the games, you could win it, but the chances are it [a playoff berth] will be a Wild Card."
On whether or not he scaled back the game plan
"No, not really. Thinking back, we may have put a little too much in. One of our simpler plays at the end of the game we ran and went for a 70-yard touchdown [fourth quarter 71-yard touchdown to WR Brandon Marshall]."
On facing San Diego
"They are a great football team. I had a chance to watch them today. They're very well balanced: offense, defense and special teams. It's going to take one great effort to win in their backyard."

|Reviews for Stupid Cupid
| Krazykitty12 chapter 3 . 10/2/2016
May you please finish the story? Its sad to see it incomplete
| Tropicallight chapter 3 . 6/16/2015
This is good...
| Guest chapter 1 . 12/19/2014
Ash is so stupid xD
| ChocoChipKitty chapter 3 . 10/18/2014
Yay! Cool story! It's definitely different - WishfulShipping from Ash's point of view! I do really like it, though, and the whole idea with them "off the set" and stuff. Like Pokémon behind the scenes!
Now... about that cookie? And the virtual hug?
| Plasma57 chapter 3 . 5/31/2014
Interesting story. Is there going any other shippings other than Wishfulshipping in this Fic? Great story, please update soon.
| KHLegacy chapter 3 . 8/28/2013
Poor Ash he must have been so hungry and frustrated and stuck being the middle man good chapter!
| KHLegacy chapter 2 . 8/28/2013
I've seen the Naruto Anime do stuff like this it was fun keep up the good work poor Trip he has been scared for life!
| KHLegacy chapter 1 . 8/28/2013
This was cute I can see this happening in the anime so I think you're spot on with them if they ever went for romance outside of minor characters the ending nailed them perfectly especially Ash's comment which was so funny! good chapter!
| RustyJesseAndCookie chapter 3 . 8/16/2013
I love these! I laugh a whole lot when I read these...especially the KodakShipping part.
| Sumiku Agaishi chapter 2 . 8/7/2013
I almost thought Trip was a matchmaker .
| lost soul of silver chapter 3 . 6/2/2013
This probably has to be my favorite chapter so far (not to say that I didn't like the others). It's romantic, cute, funny, and the way Iris doesn't want to be protected by Cilan reminds me of Soul and Maka from Soul Eater. :D
My favorite parts (other than the Wishfulshipping moments, especially the one where he saved her from falling from the tree :D) would be when Ash threw the apple at Cilan, and when Cilan got pissed and almost stabbed Ash. XD I wish Cilan would get /that/ angry in the anime. It would be /awesome/!
Great job on this chapter! I'm seriously loving this story so far. :D
| lost soul of silver chapter 2 . 6/2/2013
Oh, my gosh, this chapter was too funny! XD
Let's see. My favorite lines:
{Ash was impressed by that. As a person always wearing a hat, he could tell when someone was skilled.}
{"Do as he says or I'll cut your screen-time." And that, folks, did it.}
{"Too much contact. Might give some people the…wrong idea. There are many otakus out there."
Ah otakus. Ash had always had mail from them but someone was in charge of clearing away the 'inappropriate' ones, whatever that meant. Brock was now in charge of that, since he stopped being in the series. Maybe that's why he's been getting more letters from girls…}
I almost died laughing after reading those parts. XD And also, how /Ash/ is the one to know something that nobody else does. And the ending, where Brock explains shipping. I can't breathe... XD
I also love the part where Cilan and Iris were posed tango-style for the picture. I need that picture, but it probably doesn't exist. ;_;
Again, this is /really/ funny, and I loved the bits of cuteness between Cilan and Iris. And by the way, the AMV of yours that you mentioned is awesome (along with a lot of your other videos)! :D

Haha, this is really cute! :D
Actually, I don't think they're really out-of-character at all. Except Ash did seem a bit /too/ dense, more like his Kanto self than his Unova self. But that's fine, since it makes the chapter funny. XD Besides that, Cilan and Iris's personalities were spot-on.
This is a really sweet and funny story! Great job, and keep up the good work! ;)

Please accept my virtual hug because you are brilliant.
I remember reading the first story in here a while back, but that was while I was grounded, so now that I'm not, I think you deserve another review for this wonderful story. The idea is really executed well and the stories are really entertaining. Sometimes it is hard to find a Wishful shipping story that is just really fun to read and stays in your memory.
The second chapter was hilarious and forget about it being cracky because it was perfect and I loved the whole chapter.
My favorite was the most recent though. I couldn't stop laughing at the dialogue and how they just couldn't get over this little spat and finally when everything was cooling over, the moment got incredibly sweet and you portray Iris and Cilan so well. I really admire that skill.
And I just noticed that you are SilentStormfall so allow me a fan girl squee (just one) because your videos are brilliant.
