Date of Stay: April, 2010
Wonderful park! We stayed here in April, before the water was turned on, so we got a 50% discount. We stayed on one of the Deluxe Sites that included a brick patio, porch swing, and a BBQ grill. We really enjoyed this park. The only downfall was the hilly, gravel roads made bike riding difficult. Other than that, we couldn't ask for more!
Date of Stay: December, 2009
I wish I could come up with something other to say about the park that hasn't been said, but it was absolutely perfect. We loved it. It's our favorite campground ever. It was busy, but that was to be expected. We loved the pool area and the Chip and Dale's campfire.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Beautiful scenery, quiet park. We stayed there for the weekend. There are pit toilets and no running water in the park (that we could find). This made it very inconvenient for us, even though we were self contained. Sights were TINY (our awning touched our neighbor's camper--luckily, it was our family), and everything was muddy. Bugs were worse than any other place we have camped. This was a nice place but I doubt we'll camp here again since they don't have restrooms--our camper tanks were full by Saturday evening with a family of four.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This campground is perfect. It has every amenity, is spotless clean. Family owned. It was not busy when we stayed. We thought the sites were large and grassy. Cable TV was a great surprise! I seldom give a "10" rating, but this campground deserves it.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Very clean and nice park. It has all of the amenities mentioned. However, the pool is TINY. We didn't even attempt to swim there as it was so small and always crowded when we looked. It was very hard to hook up our camper as the hookups were so far away and because the sites were so small. We were told we could have a tent on our site (for an extra $10 fee), but there was nowhere to put it. The only grass on our site was a strip that was 2 feet wide by 5 feet long. I would have given this campground a 10 if the pool were nicer and the hook ups were easier. On a positive note, the playground is awesome and easily accessible. My 7 and 9 year olds loved it. I would recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This park is a great value for the money. The city has decided to cut down on the "full time" rentals, which has opened up a lot of sites for people who want to vacation there short term. We stayed for five days and had a great time. Everything was clean and nice. I would give it a 10 if it offered a pool and WiFi. There is a lot to do in the area.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
Nice place to stay for a few nights...jumping pillow was the highlight of the trip for my kids. Playground was awesome, pool looked nice. Not much grass.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
We stayed here for two weeks. The campground was full, we just happened upon a cancellation. To be honest, we were a little uncertain about the place because there were a lot of full-timers here, but by the end of our stay, we found them to be very nice and welcoming. They had a nice playground for the kids (a must for us), a very nice lake to walk around/fish, and a small laundromat (it was always in use it seemed). Very clean place, nice managers. It's actually a city park. Managers live in mobile home on site. Records were via a notebook kept by the manager (no fancy computer reservation). I would recommend IF you can "luck" into one of the few available sites.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
We were very pleased with this park. Yes, the road to get to and from the park is curvy, and it is a way off the beaten path, so I suggest going to the grocery store in Huntington on your way to the campground so that you won't have to leave again. No cell phone service. Other than that, it was clean and nice, with friendly park rangers. We will definitely be camping here again when we visit family in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2006
Picture perfect campground. Clean, clean, clean. Well manicured. The pool was a little small. Nice camp store, friendly workers.
Date of Stay: August, 2006
This was an extremely clean park. The care and maintenance here is amazing. Trash is picked up from your site numerous times a day, grass is mowed daily, and landscaping is nice. Other than the clean atmosphere, the customer service is the other great thing. Upon arriving, friendly staff greeted me, and I was escorted to my site by a nice man on a golf cart, who made sure we got set up okay. There are many planned activities for kids and adults, especially on the weekend. Nice restaurant there, as well as a little store. Pool was well maintained, as was the hottub. Lakes were nice for fishing, we caught many fish. The only thing we did not like was that we had to pay $5 extra a night per kid. So we paid $10 a night more than what was the listed price. That is the only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10. But is is still worth the extra money. Without a doubt, the nicest campground I have ever stayed at in Ohio.
Date of Stay: January, 2006
This place is our home away from home, literally. We have a camper that stays there year round, and we vacation there 4-5 times a year. I have two small children, and we are willing to drive the 12 hour drive for every long weekend and school vacation because of the park. Clean, quality amenities, friendly people, and tons to do is what keeps us coming back. Playgrounds, children's activities, gated community, and awesome swimming highlight this park. I would recommend it 100% to anyone. The only bad thing I can think to tell is that it can get crowded in the summer. If you are there peak season, you will need a golf cart.
Date of Stay: May, 2004
This park has both extremes, from really good to bad. First, the good. The Aquatic Center is awesome. Pool, splash zone, slides, etc. Definitely worth the money. There is plenty to do within walking distance, including a golf course, walking trails, shopping, entertainment, playgrounds, etc. This is a fun place. However, the worst part (other than lack of hookups) is the restrooms. I hated taking my kids in there. Now, they were not the worst I have ever seen. I would rate the restrooms a 3. We live only about 10 miles away, so we would go home to take a shower. Even with the restroom situation, I still recommend camping here, especially if you are in a travel trailer or RV and have your own facilities.

The Monroe County officials are concerned that two companies protesting the awarded bids for the Cudjoe Regional Wastewater Treatment System project could "jeopardize" $30 million in state funding.
The county received the $30 million last year from the state Legislature, but under the terms that construction contracts for the treatment system must be signed by March 1. The county, which fought hard for the state funding, is concerned that the signing of the contracts could be held up with the two formal protests filed and the state will take back the money.
Monroe County Attorney Bob Shillinger has called for a discussion on the issue and the County Commission will discuss it at its Jan. 16 meeting.
"A party that is dissatisfied with the outcome of the FKAA (Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority) administrative process could seek relief in the courts including an injunction to halt the award of the contracts," Shillinger wrote commissioners. "Such a development could jeopardize the $30 million in Mayfield (state) bonds proceeds .... Staff is seeking authorization to take any necessary steps to protect the county's interest, including but not limited to intervening in any administrative and/or judicial proceedings so as to protect against the potential loss of the Mayfield (state grant) funding resulting from delays caused by protests and litigation."
Shillinger did not rule out the county having to bond its own $30 million for the project in case the protests are not resolved by March 1.
The protests also come as the county and Keys municipalities are about to ask for another $50 million from the state this year.
Earlier this month, the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority Board unanimously agreed to award a $35 million contract to the Michigan-based Giannetti Contracting Corp. to build the wastewater collection system for the inner areas of the Cudjoe Regional Wastewater Regional System.
The board also approved a $79.8 million contract with Layne Heavy Civil Inc. to build another collection system to serve the outer areas of the Cudjoe Regional System.
Two companies that came in second place in the rankings -- GlobeTec and Douglas N. Higgins Inc. -- have filed formal protest against the awarding of the contracts to Giannetti and Layne Heavy. Under Aqueduct Authority rules, the companies are allowed to protest and plead their cases to Aqueduct Authority Executive Kirk Zeulch.
Representatives with the companies plan to meet with Zeulch on Thursday and Friday to plead their case. Zeulch will then decide whether to reconsider the bids.
Zeulch would not go into details about the bids because he called it "pending litigation," but he did say that he is not surprised the companies appealed because of the amounts of the contracts, $114.8 million.

Chinese Dad Has His Burmese Python Babysit His Son
Sun – A dad has found the perfect nanny for his son – a giant PYTHON. Chan Liu leaves 13-year-old Azhe home alone with the 220lb snake in Dongguan, southern China. And instead of keeping her in a cage, Azhe amazes locals by kissing and cuddling the 15ft predator. He said: "She's very careful with me and never squeezes too hard." Azhe was born six years after his dad brought home a python egg and hatched it out. Chan revealed: "I'd always thought them the most beautiful creatures and I was interested to see what would happen when my son came along. "After a while we were certain the snake wouldn't hurt him and we began to leave them together alone. They really are inseperable." Eventually the family began to look on the Burmese python as a kind of nanny, who'd look out for their son when he was alone. Chan added: "I don't think many kidnappers would tangle with her."
For all the horrible "snakes biting/constricting/eating people" stories you hear, it's good to see one that shows not ALL 15 foot-long, 220-lb. pythons are complete assholes. This motherfucker is adorable!
It just goes to prove that you shouldn't let what's heard or seen in the media influence your opinions on anything. So what if all you've ever heard is that pythons in a domestic situation turn out deadly? That's what sells papers. Nobody reports on the nice ones. If it feels like the right thing to do, go with your gut. Let your 13 year-old snuggle up with a python 3 times his size if the snake seems kinda chill. It's parental intuition. If Chan Liu says he's certain a jungle creature won't devour his son then I believe him. It's safer than leaving Azhe home alone all day while he's at the factory making Nikes.

1. Who will win the starting second base job?
Easily the most common question to be asked and the one that will receive a lion's share of the attention as position players report and games get under way, who will man the keystone for the club. Will Rhymes and Scott Sizemore are the clear frontrunners, but infielder Danny Worth can't be ruled out, nor can utility man Ramon Santiago, and when Carlos Guillen is healthy and ready to play in the field, he'll likely be in the mix as well.
Sizemore likely has the most potential of the group, with a potent line drive bat that has produced at every minor league stop. But his production was far from what was hoped for when he got the chance to start in 2010, and a repeat of that in the spring could drop Sizemore off the radar quickly. Rhymes on the other hand is the classic hard-working, high floor, low ceiling player that gave the team a reliable option last season. Rhymes is very much the antithesis of Sizemore though, as he's never been a very productive player at the plate throughout his career.
Worth is the obvious darkhorse candidate – a plus player in the field that showed a good ability to hit for average, he also doesn't have the offensive potential, but could quickly give the team another reliable infield defender, something that would be beneficial for a team that could be looking at a below average defense around the diamond.
PRE SPRING TRAINING PREDICTION: Sizemore
2. Can Phil Coke solidify his spot in the rotation?
A true question mark that has been glossed over by the Tigers, the organization has taken a pitcher with no real starting experience at the big league level and has penciled him into the starting rotation without any proof that the reliable middle reliever can make the transition to starting.
Coke was a good minor league starter, but was converted to the bullpen just as much due to fit as need. As a Yankee, there wasn't a dire need for a starting pitcher and he was able to contribute to the big league club quickly as a reliever. However, his fastball-slider combo was also better suited to the bullpen.
The front office was split as to whether or not Coke should go into the rotation or the bullpen when he was acquired last winter, and the faction that lobbied for him to start is getting their chance to be proven right. Now it's up to Coke to prove he's up to the challenge.
PRE SPRING TRAINING PREDICTION: Yes
3. Is this Jim Leyland's last year managing the Tigers?
While Leyland has professed that he hopes to be managing for awhile longer, and many insisting that Leyland's job is not on the line, the fact remains that he does not have a contract beyond the 2011 season, and teams rarely go into a season with a lame duck manager unless there's a reason for it.
That's not to say that the Tigers are planning on moving on after this year, it just means that if they were 100% sold he'd be around in 2012 and beyond, an extension would already have been worked out. The fact that it hasn't is just proof that Leyland needs to see his team perform in 2011.
PRE SPRING TRAINING PREDICTION: Yes
4. Who will win the last spot on the Tigers' bench?
There are quite a few different trains of thought at this point in time as to who has the inside track on the last spot on the roster. Someone like Clete Thomas is a Leyland favorite that offers defensive versatility and a bat with some pop, while Worth (if he doesn't win the second base job) could be a plus-defender capable of playing around the diamond. The outside possibility of a third catcher like Max St. Pierre also remains, should Leyland decide he's not comfortable having his backup catcher in the lineup as the designated hitter on most days.
Having a quality bat on the bench might be the most beneficial thing for the Tigers to have, but Leyland often times skews towards the conservative end of the spectrum, relying on defense for his bench.
Assuming Santiago, Don Kelly and either Thomas or Casper Wells are kept to fill the primary needs, that leaves the final slot as a wild card, up to the needs of Leyland as he sees fit.
PRE SPRING TRAINING PREDICTION: Worth
5. Will the Tigers finally claim the division crown that has eluded them so many times?
The Tigers enter spring training as an improved ball club, adding a quality bat for the middle of the order in Victor Martinez, in addition to a strong setup man in Joaquin Benoit and a hopefully reliable fifth starter in Brad Penny.
The problem is, it's pretty easy to make the case that the biggest division foes, the White Sox and the Twins, improved as well, and the Tigers still need to work to catch them.
The Tigers have the pieces to compete and take home the division crown, but they're going to need some things to break right for them for that to happen. The lineup has to hold up and see someone step up at the plate, while the rotation has just as many questions as answers and if things don't break right the Tigers could struggle to keep the opposition off the scoreboard.
PRE SPRING TRAINING PREDICTION: No

felt_tips said
Actually, I'm very good at starting projects. I have tens of unfinished projects. I guess I just like the design stage better than the implementation.
I'm with you felt_tips! I actually started tons of projects years ago, but I spent soooo long making multiple video tutorials and making everything nice and customizable for a file that I was really happy with, but the project was flat rejected. That destroyed my motivation because I spent a week on that project, much in the boring phase after the design and had nothing to show for it, so I pretty much quit for a while. If it was just a matter of designing and animating something cool it would be way easier to churn out files!
Thanks for the replies! I guess to be safe then I'll just use Expression Universalizer for any project that has expressions.
I've been out of the loop for the while and I can't seem to find if it's pretty much standard practice to use the "Expression Universalizer" for any project with expressions. I don't usually delve too deep into expressions but something as simple as a wiggle expression could give trouble to non-English users I imagine, so do you guys think it's best to always universalize with the script?
I can only speak for Los Angeles, but it varies pretty wildly depending on your skills or where you're working. Themelux's estimate of $6-7,000/m seems pretty accurate, but once you get some experience under your belt or if you've got skillz it can go way higher. Feel free to message me for more specific info.
That does seem like a really good idea. I'm sure opening up a project file is really daunting for those that have just started using After Effects (or never even). Having a basic set of tutorials could save a lot of time with the help files too, since instead of explaining the absolute basics for every file, the buyer could be linked to the appropriate tutorial.
I definitely think you're right felt. 3D is becoming inseparable from 2D in motion graphics. When I was in school years ago you could pretty much pick 2D or 3D and go with it, but now it's very difficult to get a job in motion graphics if you just know 2D. (At least from my experience in Los Angeles). The vast majority of professional motion graphics reels you see are going to have both in them.
I don't think that the 3D and 2D files should be treated as separate, complete projects. What I export out of 3D frequently looks pretty bad because it's just a starting point to make it really nice in After Effects. It's not very efficient to make something look complete and perfect in 3D when you can do it in the comping phase in a fraction of the time. I know a lot of people work this way because efficiency is extremely important.
It seems that Videohive should definitely integrate the 2 aspects somehow, but it does ultimately come down to if people will buy them. I would guess that most buyers on Videohive wouldn't necessarily need high end effects that would require 3D integration, but after seeing how big of a difference it makes hopefully people would go for it.
Nice tips felt_tips! It's so easy to just stick them wherever and not worry about a reason.
Star Trek has interesting lens flares since they are practical, but they were "forced" by shining extra lights into the camera, if I remember correctly.
I totally agree ZonadeArte. People are going pretty wild with the lens flares. I guess it's to be expected since some authors have made very successful files using optical flares. I like to use lens flares stylistically as a design element where you can't tell it's a lens flare. Maybe blur it out, or stick it in a corner so only a little of it bleeds on to the project. It can give some nice variation to your colors and brightness without being an obvious lens flare.
Okay, thanks Mark! It looks like just updating the file would probably save a lot of headache in the end.
Yeah that makes sense; I can't think of a better solution. Thanks for the help!
I've been getting emails lately because my project file uses an audio jungle file which is no longer on the marketplace. I've contacted the author and it is for sale on a different marketplace, but I can't expect buyers to go there because they'd have to deposit a chunk of money just for the 1 file. Would it be best for me to submit a revised project file? Because if I point a buyer towards a similar file, it won't automatically relink in the project with a different name, and the timing will be a little off, etc. I guess my other option would be to FAQ a way to update with a different audio file?

Blade, I sure don't blame them. My only issue is not enough $$$$$ to get the extra stuff we want, and no identified location for where to go if/when we need to. At home we are in decent shape for "survive in place" scenarios, but we need a better location and plan for when we need to get away from the city.
Right now I think that if you're NOT planning for the potential collapse, then you're a dumbass. My wife hates this kind of stuff, and even she is on board with it, and has helped tremendously with putting together SHTF supplies, as well as a GO Bag.

I need one. Let me know. Thanks!
This is a discussion on 03 WRX driver's side caliper bracket within the Personal For Sale & Wanted forums, part of the ClubWRX.net Marketplace category; I need one. Let me know. Thanks!...
I need one. Let me know. Thanks!
check out the stealership (caugh) dealership.
I did... it was like 80-90 bucks. That's going to be my last resort hahaha
whats wrong with it that you need a new one.
I had one of the boots tear and my slide pin/ guide pin rusted in place and just heated the whole thing up cherry red and hammered it out. Then took a round wire brush and cleaned it out really well. then I greased it up with the sill guide grease and got new boots.
I thought i would need a new one but my father helped me save it. lol
The bolt is in the bracket, but the head's been broken off. I tried about everything to get it out. Then I tried drilling it... just say, it got messed up. I didn't realize the head of the drill press was grinding away at the outer side of the bracket.
I was just trying to replace my rotors since they seem to be stockers and yup broke some bolt heads....
Autozone has the brackets for 35 bucks
They are hardened bolts so the bracket definitely would be easier to drill through. Let me know what you do for the replacement bolts...I am going to be looking for some and will let you know if I find anything.

Valerian I, October 253 - c. June 260 A.D., Tyre, Phoenicia
Dido, the founder and first queen of Carthage, is primarily known from Virgil's Aeneid. Upon succeeding their father as king of Tyre, Dido's brother Pygmalion had her husband Sichaeus killed in a plot to seize his immense wealth. Dido, with a large group of friends and followers, escaped Tyre, carrying with them all of Sichaeus' treasure. As depicted on the reverse of this coin, Dido made a sacrifice at the temple of Melqart-Hercules before leaving. The reverse on some other Valerian types, we know of one example struck with this same obverse die, depict Dido in Carthage beginning construction.RP75357. Bronze dichalkon, Unpublished in the many references examined by Forum, cf.

Athens, Attica, Greece, c. 140 - 175 A.D.
King Minos demanded that, every ninth year, Athens send seven boys and seven girls to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster that lived in the Labyrinth. Theseus, son of Aigeus, the king of Athens, volunteered to take the place of one of the youths and slay the monster to stop this horror. Upon his arrival to Crete, Ariadne, King Minos' daughter, fell in love with him and gave him a ball of thread to help him find his way out of the Labyrinth. Theseus promised Ariadne that if he escaped he would take her with him. Using the string to mark his path, he made his way to the heart of the Labyrinth, slew the Minotaur, followed the string out, and then rescued the Athenian boys and girls. Athena told Theseus to leave Ariadne and Phaedra behind on the beach. Distressed by his broken heart, Theseus forgot to put up the white sails that were to signal his success. Upon seeing black sails, his father committed suicide, throwing himself off a cliff into the sea, causing this body of water to be named the Aegean.GB77873.

Maionia, Lydia, 161 - 180 A.D.
Omphale was queen of the kingdom of Lydia, the wife of Tmolus, the oak-clad mountain king of Lydia. After he was gored to death by a bull, she continued to reign on her own.
Omphale bought Herakles from Hermes, who sold him after an oracle declared Hercules must be sold into slavery for three years. Hercules had sought the oracle to learn what he must do to purify himself, after he murdered his friend Iphitus and stole the Delphic tripod. As a slave, Herakles was forced to do women's work and even wear women's clothing and hold a basket of wool while Omphale and her maidens did their spinning. Meanwhile, Omphale wore the skin of the Nemean Lion and carried Herakles' olive-wood club. But it was also during his stay in Lydia that Herakles captured the city of the Itones and enslaved them, killed Syleus who forced passersby to hoe his vineyard, and captured the Cercopes. He buried the body of Icarus and took part in the Calydonian Boar Hunt and the Argonautica. After some time, Omphale freed Herakles and took him as her husband.
The Greeks did not recognize Omphale as a goddess. Omphale's name, connected with omphalos, a Greek word meaning navel (or axis), may, however, represent a Lydian earth goddess. Herakles' servitude and marriage may represent the servitude of the sun to the axis of the celestial sphere, the spinners being Lydian versions of the Moirae. This myth may have been and attempt to explain why the priests of Herakles wore female clothing.GB83463.

As a just punishment for his presumption, Apollo flayed Marsyas alive.

Faustina Sr., Augusta 25 February 138 - Early 141, Wife of Antoninus Pius
Venus (Aphrodite) can be faulted for the Trojan War. Upset that she was not invited to a wedding, she went anyway and maliciously left a golden apple inscribed "For the fairest" on the banquet table. The goddesses, as Aphrodite expected, argued who was the rightful possessor of this prize. It was determined the most handsome mortal in the world, a noble Trojan youth named Paris, would decide. Each of the three finalists offered Paris a bribe. Hera promised he would rule the world. Athena said she would make him victorious in battle. Aphrodite guaranteed the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. This was Helen, who was married to the king of Sparta. Paris awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite. Aphrodite enabled Paris to elope with Helen, Helen of Troy. Helen's husband raised a Greek army to retrieve his wife, starting the Trojan War.RB71296.

Septimius Severus, 9 April 193 - 4 February 211 A.D., Nikopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior
The first of Herakles' twelve labors, set by his cousin King Eurystheus, was to slay the Nemean lion and bring back its skin. It could not be killed with mortal weapons because its golden fur was impervious to attack. Its claws were sharper than swords and could cut through any armor. Herakles stunned the beast with his club and, using his immense strength, strangled it to death. During the fight, the lion bit off one of his fingers. After slaying the lion, he tried to skin it with a knife from his belt but failed. Wise Athena, noticing the hero's plight, told him to use one of the lion's own claws to skin the pelt.

Academic Programs
Usually students spend the first two years exploring and discovering a wide variety of subjects. The last two years are when most of the specialization takes place. There are, of course, exceptions: some students know very early in their careers what they will major in. Some, indeed, wish to add a more explicitly professional component to their studies. The specialized College majors and minors, and the various cross-school and pre-professional programs, allow students to prepare themselves for many different roles.

Extortion trial of ex-Sunland Park Pro-Tem Daniel Salinas continued instead of beginning Monday
EL PASO, Texas - The extortion trial of former Sunland Park Mayor Pro-Tem Daniel Salinas was scheduled to begin Monday, Jan. 14 but has been continued.
No date has been set. Attorneys for both sides presented motions for continuance which was granted by District Judge Marcy Beyer.
Salinas faces charges, in this trial, of extortion and tampering with evidence. Salinas' attorney Joshua Spencer tells ABC7 the next hearing will be a status conference on January 28.
Spencer hopes to have progress at that time on his clients release on bond. Salinas has been in the Dona Ana County Detention Center since his arrest nine months ago.
He is being held on a $200,000 secured bond. Spencer maintains his client is not a threat to the community and will report to court. Spencer says the political motivations from the previous District Attorney have kept his client in jail.
He says because there are no politics with the new administration, Salinas' release from jail on bond could happen soon. Donors had contributed $50,000 towards Salinas' release. That money remains in the courts. Spencer says it may take at least another $20,000 cash for his release. Salinas was not in court this morning.

Author Commentary: Winter's Shadow Prologue
by M.J. Hearle
As a film buff one of my great pleasures is listening to director commentaries. I love hearing about the creative process and the trials and tribulations faced during the production. It occurred to me recently that I could create something similar for my books – an author commentary if you will. Instead of listening to my nasal drone on a DVD you'll be able to follow my thoughts, chapter by chapter, here on the blog.
Fair warning, I'll be writing in a stream of conscious style which may be a little messy. There will probably be grammatical errors. This is par for the course. Basically, I'm re-reading the chapter and just jotting down ideas as they occur to me. In other words, there won't be much editing involved. I want this stuff to feel immediate. Like I'm taking in your ear as you're flipping through the pages. I can't promise you'll learn anything of value but I hope you do. I hope I do too.
Roll the title.
1st Paragraph
'Madeleine Bonnaire fled beneath the flickering street lamps of Rue Descartes.'
I must have re-written this particular sentence more than any other and with good reason. The first line is the most important sentence of a book, perhaps only rivaled by the last. It has an enormous responsibility serving as a mission statement, mood-setter and introduction to the author's prose skills. With this sentence, I wanted to grab the reader by the lapels and drag them headfirst into the story before they had a chance to protest.
'Fled' is a crucial word. In the first few drafts I think I had 'ran' or 'running'. 'Fled' implies she's running from something.
I initially had a lot more stuff about Madeleine and Victor's relationship here. She was an actress working for the Theatre du Grand-Guignol when she met Victor. Victor came from money and showed her a life of privilege – a life, as an actress, she'd never enjoy. I charted the beginning of their relationship all the way to its current position. In the end, I jettisoned most of it for pacing reasons. Too much exposition and backstory is lethal to a story's forward momentum. I labored to begin the book with an exciting sentence; it would have been reductive of me to squander it with paragraphs of passive voice.
2nd Paragraph
I actually added the description of the market square quite close to the end of editing process. I can't remember why? Initially, Madeleine just paused beneath a street lamp. I guess it adds a bit more flavour to the location. I resisted using 'ripped' at her bodice for fear of tipping my hand. The prose is florid enough thank you very much.
3rd Paragraph
'Pantheon' and 'St Etienne' are compliments of Google maps. I hate doing research but I couldn't very well have someone running around Paris without it being geographically accurate.
4th Paragraph
'dull-eyed sow' indeed! A bit more colourful than 'bitch' though I'm not sure anyone has ever actually been called that. I probably got 'sow' from The Exorcist. I believe old Scratch refers to Regan as a sow a couple of times. All the 'demon' stuff is pretty purple but that's intentional. I wanted the Madeleine sections in the book to be a little ripe. The chapters are so short, I had to make sure they left an impression. Oh look, I managed to work some of that backstory I was talking about into this and the next paragraph.
5th & 6th Paragraph
More backstory bringing us up to date so we can continue on. The reader has been allowed to take a breather along with Madeleine. We'll get moving again soon.
7th Paragraph
First mention of Antoine. I always imagined Antoine would play a bigger part in the story. He never did though. Still, without Antoine we wouldn't get Caleb so I guess he's pretty important. Maybe he'll pop up in other books?
8th & 9th Paragraph
And we get our first glimpse of Ariman. His description was probably inspired, in part, by images of Trent Reznor in The Perfect Drug video.
And Gary Oldman in Coppola's Dracula.
10th Paragraph
My first attempt at a jump scare and certainly not the last. It's much harder to startle a reader than it is for a director to make the audience jump. Unfortunately, I can't blast the soundtrack in your ear when you're reading. I can use lots of exclamation points however. Probably too many. I must remember to scale back on all the crazy punctuation. A little goes a long way.
11th – 14th Paragraphs
And the chase is on again. I might have been a little creative in my geography here. I don't think this section of Paris is quite the rabbit's warren I make it out to be. It works dramatically though which is the (only) important thing.
15th – End of Chapter
Ariman and Madeleine meet and my crazy little story begins properly. This first encounter is pivotal so there was much re-writing and finessing. Originally their dialogue exchange went for a couple of pages during which Ariman confessed to watching her perform as an actress more than a year ago and had been watching her ever since. I wanted to convey that Madeleine wasn't selected arbitrarily by Ariman. However, the more he spoke the less menacing he became. The nature of his character needed to have a big question mark hovering over it. He might be a villain or a hero. I also didn't want to include any details that would suggest what sort of supernatural creature he is. Most readers would probably assume Ariman's a vampire so the reveal later on – that he something far stranger and more mysterious – hits harder.
In earlier drafts Ariman doesn't hypnotise Madeleine into taking his hand. She does so willingly. I could never make this work. Madeleine's smarter than that. Despite being terrified of her drunken brute of a husband she's just not going to take this strange man's hand on faith. There had to be an element of supernatural coercion. It makes the later scenes, where she remains with Ariman despite his spell having been lifted, more interesting. She's a woman that chooses to live with a monster. Then again, I guess she married one in Victor, so her choice is less difficult to understand. Some chics dig the bad boys and always will.
End of Chapter One

Good reading skills....he NEVER said 1354, it was 1-3-4-5 which was available in a full-size truck/bronco.
@burnou302 - If you find out what case you have, I have a couple options for either BW case. For the 1356 I should have a drive gear laying around from one that I sacrificed for my doubler build. Pay shipping and the gear is yours. The 1345, I have a complete case that I haven't much use for, $75 + shipping or however else it would get from me to you.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read it while pooping, thank Bill Gates!

Also they are designed by collermaster and zigmatech engineers and assembled in Taiwan so price will be cheap but build quality high. They have a model that looks almost identical to the 212evo but designed with a large thick alliminum block with the direct touch heat pipes having alliminum between them. But thereis no gap since they milled the heat pipes and direct touch heat pipes so its a flat surface with no imperfections . It looks interesting, also the prices are very inexpensive.

**Editor's Note: Please click here for a recap of the biggest channel-impacting mergers in Q3 2012 or here for the biggest M&A during that time in the service-provider and BSS/OSS spaces.**
Cisco Systems on Thursday bought Cloupia, giving itself software to automate data center and cloud infrastructure.
Cisco is paying $125 million in cash and incentives for all Cloupia shares. Cisco plans to integrate Cloupia's employees into its data center group. The deal should close in the second quarter of Cisco's fiscal year 2013.
Cisco said it will integrate Cloupia's software with its Unified Computing System (UCS) and Nexus switching equipment to oversee storage, operating system resources, computing power, networking and more.
David Yen, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's data center business group, said the strategy concerns a data center networking portfolio that includes physical and virtual products supporting multiple hypervisors and storage stacks.
"The addition of Cloupia's automation software enhances the efficiency of such unified data center infrastructures, helping to accelerate the transition from physical to cloud environments more quickly and effectively," said Yen.

Legal weed crossing state borders: No big deal?
Picture this: Come Oct. 1, you head down to Portland to buy a small amount of Oregon's newly legal recreational marijuana. It's a bit of a drive, but maybe you'll save a few bucks because of lower taxes there or you just want to give it a try. But, as you cross back over to Washington, you've suddenly broken one of the cardinal priorities set by the federal government to allow marijuana sales in the Northwest – carrying state-legal pot across the border.
So what now?
Well, according to authorities in both Portland and Vancouver, probably nothing. Now that two contiguous states have legalized recreational marijuana, consumers on both sides of the border may be tempted to view the region as a free-trade market.
According to Jeff McCarty, the Senior Deputy Prosecutor of Clark County, Vancouver law enforcement doesn't have a plan in place to crack down on marijuana entering and leaving the state.
"Nothing's going to change, as far as I know, involving local law enforcement," said McCarty regarding adjustments to account for Oregon's legalization. "There's not a mechanism in place where they can monitor or prevent people from bringing small amounts of marijuana over the bridge."

Northern Lights (Indica)
Northern Lights is renowned for its ability to be grown very easily. The strain's reputation also comes from the fact that it has won competitions such as the Cannabis Cup. The #5 strain was first entered into competition 1989 when several seeds were mailed from the U.S.A. to Amsterdam. The strain quickly dominated the Cannabis Cup, winning in 1989, 1998, and again in 2009. It is a cross of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.
Advocacy Group Launches The Truth About Medical Marijuana Educational Series
This morning Americans for Safe Access (ASA) launched the Truth About Medical Marijuana educational website and accompanying event series. The Truth About Medical Marijuana will focus on emerging issues in the area of medical marijuana, including understanding the research behind the medicine, emerging policies issues surrounding cannabidiol (CBD) and consumer safety issues. During each of the next three months, event hosts will focus on these issues and prepare attendees to share that information with politicians and key decision makers, as well as providing tools to counter misinformation in the media.
"With the majority of Americans living in states that allow at least some kind of medical marijuana it's time to move beyond rhetoric and headlines and foster a genuine understanding of this too often misunderstood medicine," said Steph Sherer ASA Executive Director. "With the Truth About Medical Marijuana, we're filling a void by giving people straightforward explanations of the science behind medical marijuana and explaining how medical marijuana relates to them and their families."
Medical marijuana policy has recently undergone a significant series of developments with the passage of several new state laws in a short period of time. In total, 40 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the District of Columbia allow some legal medical use of marijuana. However, many states have new highly restrictive laws that are not well understood. In other states, large scale commercialization of marijuana cultivation has created new consumer safety concerns that haven't been effectively addressed. ASA is kicking off the campaign with advocates hosting over 40 events in thirteen states.

Santee Sioux in South Dakota Set to Begin Marijuana Sales
The Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe is poised to become the first Native American tribe to grow and sell pot for recreational use, taking advantage of the Obama administration's offer to let all 566 of the country's federally recognized tribes enter the marijuana industry.
According to McClatchy DC, the tribe plans to sell 60 strains of marijuana and is hoping for lots of visitors to partake with them. Tribal president Anthony "Tony" Reider said sales could bring in as much as $2 million per month.
"Obviously, when you launch a business, you're hoping to sell all the product and have a shortage, like Colorado did when they first opened," Reider said.
Minors will be allowed to consume pot if they have a recommendation from a doctor, Reider added. Under a tribal ordinance passed in June, adults over 21 can buy up to one gram at a time for recreational use, no more than twice a day.
"We really don't want the stuff getting out to the street," Reider said. "So we're going to have like a bar setting where they'll be able to consume small amounts while on the property."

From Vår frontman Elias Rønnenfelt's self-immersed drones, to Pharmakon's punishing electro-tones, both Var and Pharmakon have been recognized for the unsettling atmosphere their music creates. Pitchfork and Sacred Bones decided to tug on the nerve endings of fans by having both acts perform together in an exclusive collaborative event Saturday night in Brooklyn. Var and Pharmakon solemnly took the floor together, their heads bent in silence. They were uniformed in white button-down shirts and black jeans. Each also sported thick ropes looped around both shoulders and knotted across their backs, foreshadowing a vehement presentation of restrained aggression.
Vår began the set with their single "Into Distance." Rønnenfelt channeled the spirit of late Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis with his seizure-like dancing. In the performance of "Into Distance," Pharmakon's Margaret Chardiet took no part. Rather, she stood hunched over the synth, her long blonde hair cascading over her face, and remained stiff like a frozen pillar of salt. She came to life at her cue to perform the second song of the set, "Crawling On Bruised Knees," as Rønnenfelt slunk into the distance and stood bent over in a sort of defeated salute. Pharmakon descended like a pterodactyl. Her elbows jutted straight out like sharp wings as she clenched the mic. She swooped around the stage with large, jaunty strides, screeching her agony into the mic like an animal's call, to which the only appropriate response was helpless, arrested attention. Making direct eye-contact with her spectators, Pharmakon threw up an invisible veneer between the performance floor and the mesmerized crowd.
Between the audience and the musicians there was no platform, no banister, no rope, no cautionary tape, but by the time the show was half over, it was like a glass wall had been erected. This may be due in part to the fact that the majority of concert-attendees were ill-prepared for what was in store for them at this particular show—a literal case of "missing the memo." It was planned from the beginning that the Vår/Pharmakon collaborative show would include performance art by both acts. What this ended up entailing was the musicians baptismally pouring water on themselves one by one, and then sedately walking over to a mound of dirt on the stage floor where they ritualistically rubbed the dirt all over their bodies and faces. Rønnenfelt's turn with the water-pouring also included him taking mouthfuls of water, spitting it out and, at times, allowing it to overflow past his lips after it had mixed with his spit. As this occurred, the people of the crowd swarmed and pushed to take photos and get a peek of what was going on. It wasn't so much the spectacle on stage that was unhinging, but rather, the reaction of the crowd toward it.
People snapped countless photos with their iPhones, careening over others with their mouths agape, just as people do when the orangutan at the zoo stops sitting in the corner and starts to swing around and engage in animalistic behavior. In hindsight, the performance art (the water, dirt, and spitting was the extent of it) was unnecessary in the sense that it was anti-climatic. People were awed only because they did not know what to expect. The befuddled facial contortions of fans and the awkward hanging around after Vår and Pharmakon left the stage indicated that fans felt like they had been led towards a cliff but were never taken over the edge.
The inability of the theatrics of the show to add meaning or emphasis to the actual music left the attempt with the stain of feeling, overall, melodramatic. This is only because the music itself, and the delivery of it, stood so well on its own in the first half of the show. Both Vår and Pharmakon were able to evoke the sense of being possessed by an inner clawing anxiety, frustration, and angst. It's clear that both acts are very talented, but if they want performance art to become their new thing (which would be cool), they need to work on their context.

ok ok....the mods will crush this but still it is a kill.....my unc tarheels beat Illinois tonight against many odds. It's not a car but based on the struggles these seniors have had the past few years they deserve a spot in the kills forum.

One of the great strengths of Game of Thrones is that it isn't afraid to change. Not only has it killed off some of its most popular characters, but over the last three seasons we've seen many—perhaps even most—of the cast evolve tremendously. And not just heroes like Daenerys, who started as a powerless victim and became a fearsome commander, but also several unpleasant villains who developed enough layers and dimensions that they suddenly didn't seem quite as bad as they did before.
But let's keep it in perspective. Sure, Jaime saved Brienne—but he's also the man who pushed Bran out a window. Yes, the Hound saved Arya repeatedly (and even gave her a horse!), but he's also the guy who murdered her friend Mycah in cold blood. And yes, Littlefinger tried to save Sansa, but he's also the man who betrayed Ned and put a knife to his neck. It's easy to develop a selective memory, to remember the first part and not the second part, because one of those stories is a lot more pleasant than the other.
Like Sansa and Arya, we slowly want to turn this back into the good story, the one about noble knights or at least the rogues with hearts of gold who did the right thing in the end. This week's episode is here to remind both of those girls, and us, of the truth: this is not a pleasant story.
While Cersei and Tywin are still screaming their heads off about poor, purple-faced Joffrey, Sansa and Dontos escape to find a hidden rowboat and row off into what seems like some really abrupt mist. When they arrive at a ship in the harbor, she finds a familiar face on deck: Littlefinger. Turns out Dontos was just Littlefinger's puppet all along, but Littlefinger doesn't trust drunk puppets, probably because he has seen Avenue Q, so Dontos has to die. When Dontos asks for payment he gets a crossbow bolt in the face instead, shocking Sansa, though Littlefinger insists it's the only way to keep her safe. He takes off her pretty blue necklace—which is now missing one of its crystals—and reveals that rather than a Dontos family heirloom, it was actually a piece of jewelry he commissioned personally several weeks earlier. He crushes one of the crystals before brushing it into the sea, and tells Sansa that she's safe with him now, and they're sailing home. But where's home?
In the books: Rather than showing up unannounced, Ser Dontos told Sansa to be ready for an escape, though she did not know Joffrey would be poisoned. He'd also told her she had to wear her hair net to the wedding—which became a necklace on the show—claiming it was "magic" and would take her home. After his men kill Dontos, Littlefinger does not discuss the hairnet/necklace, though he does admit he came up with the idea of insulting Tyrion with the jousting dwarves, whom he brought in from Braavos.
The Ladies Tyrell
The twice-widowed Margaery is bummed out, not only because her terrible husband is dead, but because it still isn't clear whether or not she's queen now. Olenna tells the story of her own husband's death, which she seems pretty unsentimental about, given that she refers to him as a "great doughy lump." She tells Margaery that she shouldn't be too upset; her circumstances have actually improved quite a bit now that her sociopathic groom has stopped breathing. Although she handled him remarkably well, "the next one will be easier."
In the books: This scene never occurs as Margaery and Olenna are not point of view characters, though Tywin tells Jaime later that the Tyrells are insisting that Margaery be wed to Tommen. Tywin suggests that she could be wed to Jaime instead, though this idea is not well-received.
The Lannisters
Tyrion, the perpetual whipping boy of the Lannister family, is in jail, and Pod informs him that he's going to stand trial for Joffrey's murder in a fortnight. Tyrion says he wants to call Sansa as a witness, only to learn that she's escaped, leaving him well and truly alone. Pod says "they" offered him a knighthood to testify against Tyrion but he refused, which sets off alarm bells for Tyrion: "If they can't tempt you with honey, they'll choose something less sweet." Although they won't let Bronn in to see him, he tells Pod to send for Jaime, and then get out of town before the knives catch up with him.
Meanwhile, Tywin enters the sept where Joffrey's body is laid out to have a little chat with Tommen, aka the heir to the throne. "What is a good king's most important quality?" he asks the young prince. Oh man, this feels like a job interview. Ooh, for the next question, ask him why manhole covers are round! First Tommen says holiness is the most important quality, then justice, then strength. Each time, Tywin uses a historical example to explain how each can become impractical: how pious Baelor starved himself into an early grave; how being just matters little if you can't hold on to power (he doesn't use Ned and Robb as examples, but he totally could have); and how Tommen's own "father" Robert was a strong warrior, but a poor ruler. What did they all lack? Wisdom, Tommen finally concludes, and Tywin says that good kings listen to their councillors—especially, I imagine, when they are named Tywin. They start chatting a bit about his need to marry, and just as he's getting to the details of the birds and the bees, Jaime shows up.
Cersei's still sitting with Joffrey's body, seemingly the only person who's actually sad about his death. After Jaime shoos everyone out, she insists that Tyrion had him killed and demands that Jaime take vengeance. It wouldn't be the first person he's tried to kill for Cersei, but he's not enthused about the idea of killing his own brother. They kiss, seemingly for the first time since his return, but she pulls away in disgust when his maimed hand touches her. It's a pretty spiteful move; Jaime calls her a hateful woman and tries to kiss her again, but she is not having it. So he straight up rapes her on the ground next to the corpse of their son. Wow. Wow.
In the books: Rather than immediately deeming her innocent, Tyrion is convinced at first that Sansa must be the killer. We get no sense that Pod's life is in danger as Tyrion prepares for the trial, and Bronn is allowed to visit, though Tyrion finds he cannot pay enough to match his sister's price for the sellsword's allegiance. Although we're told Tommen has a far better temperament than Joffrey, there's no scene like this between him and Tywin. Their discussion of kings past does echo parts of a earlier conversation between Tyrion, Oberyn and Sansa as they discuss Lives of Four Kings, the rare history book that Joffrey chopped to pieces.
Jaime is still making his way back to King's Landing with Brienne when Joffrey dies, though he learns of the murder en route and rushes back to comfort Cersei. Although she initially resists the sex as improper given the location, she quickly becomes an enthusiastic and willing participant. Rape versus not rape: a crucial difference. Honestly, given how many rapes are already in the novels, it's a bit hard to believe that anyone would read them and say, "hey, you know what this story needs? More rape!" Reframing Jaime as a rapist also casts quite a shadow on his redemptive arc, and just when the needle had started to lean from "attempted child murderer" to "generally decent human."
Arya and the Hound head to the Eyrie through the Riverlands, aka Arya's personal purgatory. Seriously, she's been wandering the Riverlands for what seems like years now, always on her way to somewhere and never quite getting there like some sort of Sisyphean punishment. As they water the horses, a kindly farmer with a young daughter asks what they're doing on his land. While the Hound is predictably grouchy, with the help of Arya's highborn manners (and a careful lie about fighting for House Tully) they've soon got a hot meal in front of them and a place to sleep for the night. Noticing that the Hound seems to know his way around a sword, the farmer asks if he'll stay a while to ward off the bandits, unwisely revealing that he has some silver hidden away. Instead, the next morning he simply beats the man and takes the silver, leading an outraged Arya to call him "the worst shit in the Seven Kingdom." Her outrage speaks to how their Lone Wolf and Cub adventure has slowly obscured the truth: that she's kicking it with Joffrey's former killer-for-hire, a man who once killed one of her best friends in cold blood.
The Hound says the theft is simply common sense, as the man is weak and will be dead by winter, at which point silver will be of no use to him. After seeing both Joffrey and Ramsay in action, it's pretty easy to agree with his next point: "There's plenty worse than me. I just understand the way things are. How many Starks they gotta behead before you figure out it?" Admittedly, the Starks can be slow learners when it comes to the practical art of survival, but if both Sansa and Arya can keep their heads down, they might finally acquire some of that wisdom Tywin was talking about.
In the books: Arya and the Hound never stay with a kindly farmer, although earlier in the book while they're traveling to the Twins before the Red Wedding, the Hound does rob a farmer of his clothes, cart and cargo so he and Arya can travel incognito.
The Night's Watch
Now that Gilly's back at Castle Black, where the male/female ratio is around 1:100, Sam's is a bit nervous about her safety. Which is probably fair, considering how many men get sent to the Wall for actually being rapists. Sam wants her to stay in Mole's Town instead, a town a bit south of Castle Black; he finds her a place to live and work there but it is super creepy, especially when the first thing the proprietor does is offer to prostitute Gilly and give Sam a cut. He insists that she get no "extra work" but leaves her there anyway to her obvious dismay, saying that it's still better than Castle Black which seems like a pretty arguable point.
Meanwhile, the Wildlings are coming. If you've never quite understood why they call them that, watching Ygritte and company brutally murder a bunch of helpless townspeople is a helpful way to get up to speed. Styr, the cannibalistic Thenn leader, grabs a boy and tells him that he's going to eat his dead parents, then sends him crying to Castle Black. All the crows naturally want to ride out and defend the townsfolk, but for once Jon and Alliser Thorne agree: this is a trap to spread them thin, and the smartest thing they can do is stay and defend the Wall. Suddenly the survivors of Craster's Keep stumble in with news of the mutiny, and since the mutineers are still running around north of the Wall, that presents an even more serious problem than the wildling raids. If Mance Rayder catches them he'll learn the truth: There aren't a thousand men at Castle Black but closer to a hundred, a weak spot the Wildling armies can easily overrun. "We need to ride north and kill them all," says Jon about their turncloak former brothers.
In the books: There were numerous Wilding incursions designed to draw out the Night's Watch, though they happened at castles along the wall rather than villages. By the time Jon returns to Castle Black—which happens after the return of the mutiny survivors— its garrison had already deployed to fight them, playing right into Mance's plan to spread them thin. Sam, meanwhile, still hadn't made his way back to Castle Black, and was still north of the Wall with Gilly. Not only did he never try to relocate Gilly, but Mole's Town is the first place Jon evacuates upon his return, since it would be completely vulnerable to Wildling forces approaching from the south.
The Red Viper
It's bisexual orgy time! Although Loras is not involved as last week's episode seemed to promise, his one-time lover (and Littlefinger operative) Olyver totally is. Olvyer is confused about Oberyn's bisexuality, but it's pretty straightforward to the Red Viper, who simply thinks everyone else is "missing half the world's pleasure." He offers some sage advice about making sure you have a ton of hot sex before you get old and gross, but then Lord Tywin rolls in and ruins the party by shooing all the naked people out. Gven the manner of Joffrey's death, Tywin has a few questions, particularly since Oberyn is a widely known as a student of poisons. Oberyn denies any involvement in Joffrey's death, and Tywin denies any involvement in the death of Oberyn's sister. It seems like they're at a stalemate until Tywin does something unexpected: offers to make Oberyn a judge at Tyrion's trial. With so many other volatile forces in play throughout Westeros, Tywin wants to bring Dorne back into the fold by making Oberyn a member of Tommen's small council and giving him a chance to "speak" with the Mountain, the man who killed his sister. "You help me serve justice to the king's assassins," he says, "and I will help you serve justice to Elia's."
In the books: Although the Red Viper does become one of the judges, we never see this interaction between Tywin and Oberyn. When Jaime returns after the Purple Wedding, however, he learns that Tywin, Oberyn and Mace Tyrell are all in a private (non-brothel) meeting, and Tyrion is subsequently informed that they will be his judges.
The news of Joffrey's death reaches Stannis, who is totally convinced it was Melisandre's blood magic, because she named a leech after Joffrey and burned it last season. Aw c'mon, correlation is not causation, Stannis! Stannis is not interested in a deeper analysis of causal variables, however, because he's too busy being pissed that Davos freed Gendry (aka the bastard son of Robert that he wanted to use as a giant sacrificial leech). Without the human sacrifice of someone with king's blood, Stannis may not be able to claim the Iron Throne. Davos has had minimal luck raising a bigger army, so suggests that they hire eastern mercenaries from the Golden Company. Since they don't have enough gold, so Davos slinks off to his reading lesson with Princess Shireen where he ends up telling her about his rollicking adventures with near-beheading in Braavos by Iron Bank. Suddenly, he gets an idea. Remember how both Tyrion and Olenna have mentioned the massive debts that the Iron Thrones owes to the Iron Bank? Since those are the only times we've ever heard about the Bank before, I'm guessing it's related. Davos tells Shireen to write a letter to the Iron Bank for him, from "Stannis Baratheon, the one true king of Westeros."
In the books: Rather than Shireen herself, her tutor Maester Pylos teaches Davos to read. Stannis doesn't learn that Gendry—a different bastard named Edric Storm in the books—has been smuggled out of Dragonstone till after Joffrey's death, when Melisandre wants to use the boy's blood to awaken a "stone dragon" that she claims will assure Stannis's victory. Melisandre also sees Joffrey's death in the flames before any letter arrives, though Davos subsequently confirms it. And while there is contact between the Iron Bank of Braavos and the forces of Stannis, we don't hear about it until later, in the fifth book A Dance with Dragons.
Daenerys and her army finally arrive at looming pyramids of the slave city Meereen. The masters of the city send out their champion, who is wearing what I can only imagine is an invisible backwards hat and the medieval version of Axe body spray. He promptly announces that the Unsullied are not really men and Daenerys is not really a woman—and caps this off by pissing on the ground in their general direction. To which Dany sighs, because she's a queen with an army behind her, and yet somehow she's still dealing with the pissing contests of little boys. Still, half the city is listening, so Dany decides to choose her own champion to go shut his face.
Although Grey Worm, Barristan Selmy and Jorah all volunteer, Dany rightly says they're too important to risk. You know who isn't? Daario, who says some dangerous, sexy nonsense about death and being dust in the wind or whatever and swears he will kill this guy, kill him so hard for her. Dany tries to play like she is not into this, but she totally is. Daario says he doesn't even need a horse, and when the champion charges at him with a lance, he kisses the naked lady sculpture on the hilt of his blade (really) and then throws it through the eye of his opponent's mount, bringing them both down. In seconds, the champion's head is separated from his shoulders, and Daario is pissing right back in the direction of Meereen, just in case anyone wasn't aware that that he's a manly, masculine man. With a penis.
Dany gives yet another rousing speech in Valyrian, telling the slaves of Meereen that she is not their enemy, but rather the liberator of Astapor and Yunkai come to give their enemies (read: masters) what they deserve. Her catapults launch projectiles at the city (hopefully not killing any slaves?), which turn out to be chests full of the discarded collars that presumably once belonged slaves she's freed so far. A slave picks one up and then turns to give a nearby master some serious side-eye, and it seems like revolution might be in the air.
In the books: The champion of Meereen, Oznak zo Pahl, is fought not by Daario but by Strong Belwas, a eunuch and former slave gladiator of the Meereen fighting pits. Belwas offered the crowd a bit more of a show than Daario, allowing the champion three charges before he killed him and then celebrated the victory by defecating in front of the Meereenese crowd and wiping himself with the champion's cloak. It was a pretty classy time.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

I took a whole bottle of this product, but I was not sure if it was working. After taking a break from it for a month or so, I started a new bottle and almost immediately had a "liver breakthrough". My liver/gallbladder felt sore, like it was "cleansing" for 3-4 days. I feel better, and my digestion and bowels are better, too.

I have used swedish bitters for many years, taken each day as a liver and gall bladder tonic. I have used it for chicken pox, great for taking the itch out. Gall bladder pain, as a hot poultice. 2 tlbsps for over indulgence, ie hangover.
Instant relief from upset stomach

This provides instant relief for an upset stomach. It can also provide relief (not instant, at least not in my case), for constipation. Yes, they're bitter, but in a weird way, that's part of the appeal. This tonic feels warm and healing as you swallow it. I'm going to start taking these bitters with me when I travel to ward off any stomach bugs.
Wonderful Digestive Tonic

This product has proved to be an effective addition to our home medicine chest. Whether it's constipation, bloating, heartburn or other digestive discomfort, we find this to be balancing and cleansing. In cases of constipation, it is reliable without being harsh. It even helps to take a small spoonful on days when you are feeling depleted from poor food choices. The bitter taste is -- well -- bitter, but activates beneficial digestive juices. I actually like the fact that it isn't candy-like. My children cringe at the taste but take it willingly because it relieves discomfort so readily.

My wife struggles with the pain of Fibromyalgia. She has experienced a significant decrease in pain using this product. There is no other reason for the change and this comes after just a week or 10 days of use. I don't know what makes this useful for this problem, but after reading several glowing comments from other Fibro suffers I decided to order Bitters and try it.

I didn't really fell in love with this until one day I had really bad stomach cramp felt like someone squeezing my stomach after I drank couple dandelion and gas relief teas. I tried other remedies but pain lasted couple of hours. The pain was so bad I just drank undiluted bittersweet about 1/4 cup and my pain subsided so much. Couple hours later i drank another shot and the symptom when away completely.

The CW launches its show-within-a-show -- "Cult" -- tonight, starring "The Vampire Diaries" alum Matt Davis as a journalist investigating the disturbing disappearance of his brother.
Very quickly, Matt's character, Jeff, finds out that his brother was involved with a shadowy group of fans obsessed with a popular television program, which coincidentally, is also called "Cult."
PLAY IT NOW: Cult Stars Jessica Lucas & Matthew Davis On Their New CW Series
"It was a great opportunity because they had just written Alaric off [of 'The Vampire Diaries'] and 'Cult' came around and it was probably the best script that I had read of the options that were sent to me and the fact that they made the offer to me was just, it was great," Matt told AccessHollywood.com . "To do a show that's intelligent and original and endeavors to do something that The CW has never done before, to me, was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of."
The show will find Jeff teaming up with Skye, played by former "90210" and "Melrose Place" actress Jessica Lucas. Skye is a production assistant on "Cult," and she's someone who naturally has a suspicious nature.

"I think you're gonna find out what Skye's true motivation is -- why she actually works on the show," Jessica told Access. "Her father went missing at a very young age, so that's part of her arc and part of the reason she works on 'Cult' to begin with and then his brother goes missing as a result of being [a] fan of the show and when he comes to investigate, we meet up and team up and he's one of the only people that believes me."
"Prison Break's" Robert Knepper plays a duel role on the drama - as actor Roger Reeves, who plays cult leader Billy Grimm in the fictional show-within-a show.
"He's sort of like this Charles Manson-like figure who has this ranch and this farm and he sort of inducts people into this cult to do his bidding as all cult leaders do. And he's very dangerous because he's very charming," Matt said of the Billy Grimm character, who has been featured in various promos across The CW.

Asked if he himself is fascinated by cults, Matt said it helped draw him to the show.
"That's what I like about it, ultimately, because when you're dealing with television, you're dealing with the cult of personality," he said. "It's all really a cult, everything is a cult, on some level. Whether it's politics or sports or music or television."

Beginning tonight, "Cult" will air Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW.

Longtime Montcalm County drain commissioner retires
STANTON — Don Cooper's has been a career filled with ups and downs, both easy days and difficult, but, the retiring Montcalm County drain commissioner says there hasn't been one day he hasn't enjoyed.
Cooper's last day on the job was Friday.
He assumed the drain commissioner's job in April 1986 and has been serving the county's drain needs ever since. In that time, Cooper has remained a staunch advocate of keeping the county's drain code independent and not allowing it to be absorbed by larger, state codes that may not always have a smaller locality's best interests at heart.
During his tenure, Cooper chaired the Michigan Association of County Drain Commissioners, so his political acumen had a little weight behind it.
"One of the highlights of my career was serving under Gov. Engler's committee and sharing the importance of agricultural drainage to a county like ours," Cooper said. "I said the drain code should not be codified, that it should stand alone. I was opposed to it getting incorporated in the uniform code and was really proud of the part I played in the state letting the drain code stand alone."
The job of drain commissioner is far more than dry, legislative luncheons and planning committees, however. Cooper remembers with some fondness the time workers from his office unearthed some prehistoric remains.
"We were doing a project in Crystal," Cooper said. "We uncovered a mastodon right across from the Crystal sewage plant. Now it's displayed at Montcalm Community College right in the library."
One of the toughest challenges Cooper's office faced during his time came eight years ago, when high winds damaged and clogged more than 300 miles of open drainage.
"That was probably the biggest disaster we faced," Cooper said. "The cleanup from those straight-line winds was something. We had 300 miles of county drains filled with trees and brush. Cleanup cost about $400 million."
The best part of his job as drain commissioner, Cooper said, was the time he spent dealing with area farmers.
"Drainage is a very important component for the farmers," Cooper said. "It makes the land much more productive. I've always liked working with the farmers. In fact, I really have enjoyed every aspect of the job and activities. I don't think I really had any major difficulties to speak of."
A strong knowledge of the particulars of the job are critical to doing it successfully, he said. That's one reason Cooper backed Deputy Drain Commissioner Sandy Raines as his replacement during the recent election.
"Sandy actually mentored me when I started in the drain office," Cooper said. "Sandy was there when I took office and was my deputy for a number of years. She's very qualified on all aspects of the job — financial requirements, legal requirements — she's well versed in all of them. I'm not one bit concerned she can do an excellent job and keep on doing what she's been doing for the past 30 years."
It's a job Raines said she intends to take seriously.
"(My job is) to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of Montcalm County citizens by providing storm water management, flood control and development review and to be a steward of our natural resources," Raines said.
At the Michigan Drain Commissioners 113th annual winter conference last February in Acme, Cooper was awarded a life membership, the association's highest honor. At that ceremony, Stacy Hissong, an attorney who has worked closely with Cooper on many county projects, commended his dedication to maintaining the county's natural beauty.
"Don worked to incorporate conservation and wildlife habitat creation into his projects where possible," Hissong said. "He restored or created literally hundreds of acres of wetlands in Montcalm County through partnerships."
That natural world is something Cooper plans to spend his retirement enjoying to his fullest. Cooper lives with his wife of 30-plus years, Linda, on the family homestead in Bloomer Township. He has begun building a rustic log cabin there.
"It's not for me to live in," he said. "It's for the kids and grandkids to come up and stay in. They like to come here and fish, and we have some beautiful duck, deer and turkey hunting."
There have been some, Cooper admits, who have asked him to continue serving on various committees or commissions, even after his retirement becomes official at the end of the year.
"Nope," Cooper said. "That's not going to happen. I'm not going to let anything keep me from spending time with my kids and grandkids. I've got a lot to keep me busy."
