Allmarah's Confession to Hermanus (Part 1)
[Author's Note: When this two part chapter happens in relation to Phoenix Triumphant I'm not sure. I can only guarantee that Princess Allmarah does confess this to Prince Hermanus at some point in time. It explains a few things, like how she ended up in Whoalwski's 'care' and a bit of the relationship between York and Tralee. The current scene, as it stands, takes place in an abandoned Temple and I have not changed it to flow with the revised story (i.e. all I've done is spell checked and a brief edit since I wrote it).]
Princess Allmarah had taken to standing beneath the Willows when there seemed nothing else for her to do. She helped as much as she could with the cooking, but watching Sarah work reminded her that she knew very little of what the day to day life of a commoner was like. Hidden by the boughs she would watch the smoke rise from the two chimneys. It was Prince Hermanus, who finally discovered her. He stood before her and she nodded to acknowledge him.
"What bothers you Princess?" he asked.
His tone conveyed the kindness and sincerity that Allmarah loved about him. He was always quick to help, even if he had no idea of what he was doing. She reached out and touched his cheek as her eyes began to fill with tears.
"Allmarah," his concern was clear. Hermanus took her hands in his own. "You will soon be home with you father and all this will be behind you. We can forge a new way between Azure and Vervell, you and I. I will court you proper, no need for kidnappings..."
"Oh, Hermanus," the tears rolled down Allmarah's cheeks. "Come sit beside me," she pulled her hand away and sat before patting the ground next to her.
Hermanus sat hesitantly beside her, uncertain if he should put an arm around her or stay as he was. She leaned forward and looked at her hands, turning them slowly as she gazed at them.
"Hermanus," her head tilted to look towards him, "I have a, a confession." She sat up and looked at him taking his hands in her own. "Please I beg for you to listen to my full story and judge me not until the end. Can you promise to listen until my tale is told out?"
"Of course!" Hermanus was so certain in his reply, it made a sob catch in Allmarah's throat. How could she be so blessed with having someone like him love her, when she was so flawed.
For a while they sat in silence and Hermanus was worried that Allmarah wasn't going to talk to him at all. Then she began speaking in a soft voice.
"I have always been fascinated by the lower classes and wondered what it might be like to live in their shoes. Though, my brother scoffed at me for fantasizing such I would sneak out with my maids in merchant clothing. There was a house set up for us, where we would go. Tralee knew the family that owned it, so she always knew when we could go and use it. It was fun you know, we would go buy food form the market and then try to cook. Harriet was best at cooking, her mother having insisted that she should learn."
She paused and Hermanus nodded to show he was listening.
"Well about a year and a half a ago, Tralee started seeing this mysterious man. With the way she talked about him, I wanted to meet him, but I didn't want him to know I was the Princess, so we arranged to have him visit us for a meal while we were at Tralee's house. Harriet was skeptical about the whole thing, but Tralee insisted it would be fine and pointed out that there were Scouts nearby should anything happen. Of course at that time I also had no idea that Sergeant Sparrow, Harriet's aunt, already knew about our forays and was always nearby, if she wasn't on duty."
"You knew Sergeant Sparrow was a woman before this?" Prince Hermanus asked.
"Oh yes, my grandmother and her mother were childhood friends. Sparrow came to serve the King under the guise of a man because the Lords wouldn't have accepted her any other way." The Princess smiled softly, "I hope they reevaluate their thinking when this is all over. I wouldn't mind learning how to use a bow at the very least."
"I would teach you, but I am not very good." Hermanus offered and Allmarah smiled and patted his knee. "But I don't see what kind of judgment you are afraid of. I get tired of the complexities of court all the time."
"Yes, well," Allmarah sighed and gave him a sad smile. "The man that was courting Tralee, his name was York."
"York? You mean..."
"Yes," Allmarah nodded, "Chester's twin brother."

Character and price key to Kapok hotel survival
China Resources Holdings, a state-owned conglomerate competing in the hotel business with international groups and cash-rich foreign institutional funds, reckons it has found the key to survival by positioning itself between the country's luxury and budget segments.
Five years after China Resources, through its property development arm China Resources (Shenzhen), started its Hotel Kapok boutique hotel chain in Shenzhen the outlook is promising.
'We have invested 100 million yuan in Kapok Shenzhen and it has made a profit since the first year of operation,' China Resources (Shenzhen) vice-general manager Yu Linkang said.
'The occupancy at Kapok Shenzhen is always more than 90 per cent and we are getting a pre-tax profit margin of 12 per cent a year,' Mr Yu said.
The hotel chain has been expanded to Guangzhou, Wuxi and Beijing.
Mr Yu, 36, attributes the encouraging response to the hotel's positioning.
'We have positioned ourselves in the four to 4.5 star hotel segment, where competition is not that fierce. Unlike the traditional type of hotel, Hotel Kapok is a boutique-style hotel with good service plus a little character,' he said.
As a pioneer among mainland players, Hotel Kapok targets the country's growing middle-income class, who while they might not be able to afford deluxe accommodation nevertheless do not want to stay at budget hotels.
The hotel chain's customers are middle management from the mainland and Hong Kong and from overseas, Mr Yu said.
Typical room prices range from 500 yuan to 600 yuan, compared with 800 yuan being charged by the Shangri-la Shenzhen and 168 yuan for the cheapest rooms at the Motel 168 chain.
'Competition in the top end of the hotel sector is very keen, with the participation of overseas foreign players, and there are thousands of budget hotels run by local operators,' said Zhang Wei, the hotel department manager at China Resources (Shenzhen).
'Some are expanding rapidly after getting capital investment from foreign funds or from stock markets. However, there are not many choices if you want something in the middle. We see there is a market.'
The world's top 10 hotel groups, including InterContinental, Marriott and Hyatt, have all entered the mainland market, attracted by the country's growing economy and the prospect of the domestic tourism market.
There were 12,930 star-level hotels in China by the end of 2005, 2,042 more than in 2004, according to ResearchInChina.
The popularity of budget hotels has attracted the interest of foreign funds, with Morgan Stanley buying 20 per cent of Motel 168 for US$20 million in 2005.
Overseas money is also being attracted through share sales. Home Inn, China's leading budget chain hotel, raised US$109 million from its Nasdaq listing in October last year.
Mr Zhang said Kapok Shenzhen had 116 fairly spacious rooms with modern furniture, glassed rather than walled-off bathrooms and a choice of pillows for guests.
Each room has free broadband internet access, while business and fitness centres cater to other guest needs.
Boutique hotels with features not found in budget accommodation did not appear a guaranteed success, given the extra cost and questionable demand.
'We faced a lot of objections when the idea was thrown to the board of directors for the first time five years ago,' Mr Yu said.
However, with this initial success, the company is ready for the next phase of expansion.
'In 2004, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission restricted state-owned companies to focusing on their core businesses. As hotels are just a small part of the group's business, we followed the directive to slow our plan to open more hotels. But the expansion will pick up this year,' Mr Yu said.
As the company opens more hotels in more cities, it aims to take another lead by creating a restaurant brand as part of the chain to increase its attractiveness.
'We are going to expand the Nan Yang Northeast Restaurant, which highlights northeast-style food. Wherever Hotel Kapok goes, Nan Yang Northeast Restaurant will be there,' he said.
The Shenzhen hotel has recently completed renovating its restaurant, moving towards a more modern Chinese look.
The design was carried out by David Sung, a grandson of T.S. Sung, one of the team who worked on the HSBC Building on Shanghai's Bund in 1923.

Kat/Emmet Supers Properties
I've been watching the trailers and i keep getting more and more hype :3 but i've been trying to compare thier lvl killers to other characters and determine how well they stack up to others.
Her level one looks like a line runner, possibly has the same range as other line runners like fat princess, but her start up takes a LITTLE longer.
Her level two seems like it can kill on contact AND ground impact, possibly another Sir Daniel lvl 2 except that its launched from above against from below, possibly making it harder to dodge since most poeple immediately jump when a supers launched (lol).
Her level three is probably another high tier level 3, since its pretty much like Jaks. I'd assume with Square you can claw lunge AND dash incredibly fast. Her other attack is the huge orb that spawns around her (Sorry, not sure what it is due to not playing Gravity Rush) for about 2 seconds AND moves while doing it.
Emmet Graves:
Watching his level one confused me. It looks as if you can choose "where" you wish to aim it. That, or you can do a "fake out" or change the direction of his level one with the cost of a little delay time. This has been seen in the trailer when he killed Kratos with not the first, but the second shot.
His level 2 looks pretty beast. He calls down some huge structure that can kill doing contact and ground impact on a huge radius, probably another great level 2.
Emmets level three can easily be an upgrade to Sweet Tooths level 3. Calling upon the power of a StarHawk(i assume thats what the mechs called) you can run AND shoot at the same time, but probably cant change direction once you choose the direction, something similar to Drakes neutral triangle gun n run. Along side that, he has an amazing air stomp that's extremely quick, but due to the dust that comes up from impact, the impact radius doesnt seem like its too big which isnt a problem. After shooting i noticed he launched 2...mines(?) in the air which im not sure will stay stationary or home once the target gets close. Last but not least, the air strike. It seems to me like its pretty much overkill but gets the job done. The only safe spot seems to be right in the area he comes flying from, but that could be because all the other characters were on the opposite side of the screen.
So that's my analysis of these 2 amazing characters supers. Did i miss anything? Thoughts or comments about how these supers will Tier up to the rest of of the cast?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Kat/Emmet Supers Properties
If you click on 'All-Stars' on the top left of the page you can actually view their entire movesets with their accurate namings. The giant black hole is simply known as the 'Micro Black Hole'.
I'm actually expecting Emmett to be played a lot more, he's definitely looking to be the best zoner.
Re: Kat/Emmet Supers Properties
Rifle Loadout - Long range projectile. "Safest" of the three.
Rocket Launcher Loadout - Explosive projectile. Capable of multiple kills. More than likely slower than the Rifle version. Best used in Free For All when opponents are bunched up.
Shotgun Loadout - Two shots. One shot is fired at a 45 degree angle upwards. Close range. Likely has good set-ups. Possibly the best option for 1-on-1 situations.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 11/9/11
After the Dallas Stars failed to make the 2011 NHL StanleyCup Playoffs following a disappointing loss at Minnesota to end the season,giving them a three-year gap since their last postseason berth, Stars fans knewchanges were in order. However, what no one knew was how quickly the wheels would get set in motion.It actually only took a few days for the first shoe to drop as head coach MarcCrawford was dismissed. Dallas didnt fill that vacancy officially until June when Glen Gulutzan, thecoach of the American Hockey Leagues Texas Stars for the last two years, wasnamed as the 21st head coach in franchise history. The start of NHL free agency was soon after that announcement and Stars generalmanager Joe Nieuwendyk stated from the start that he would be active inupgrading the clubs roster. The GM brought in seven new players to accomplishjust that. One of those new faces was veteran defenseman Sheldon Souray, who had mostrecently played in Edmonton but spent the bulk of last season skating with theAHLs Hershey Bears. At 6-foot-4, Souray was brought in to bring somemuch-needed size and nastiness to the Dallas blue line. The veteran defensemanalso had a blistering slap shot, regarded as one of the hardest in the NHL. And judging from his first 14 games, Souray has proven his worth and then some. Not only has he provided the aforementioned qualities to the Stars rearguard,but he has also delivered something a bit more than unexpected, some strongoffensive production.The man nicknamed Hammer by former Devils teammate LyleOdelein is currently third on the team with 13 points (four goals and nineassists). Gulutzan has called Sourays offensive numbers pleasantly surprising anda nice byproduct of everything he does on both ends of the pond. Souray had an assist in Tuesdays 5-2 win at Washington and had two helpers ina 5-2 win at Carolina on Sunday afternoon to help the Stars kick off afour-game road swing. Overall, he has a four-game point streak. The Stars are also getting solid contributions from their other newcomersincluding veteran forward Radek Dvorak, who has settled in nicely alongsidefaceoff specialist Vernon Fiddler on the checking line, forward Michael Ryder,who has recently caught fire offensively, defenseman Adam Pardy and grinderJake Dowell. One name that wasnt among the seven that Nieuwendyk brought in this summer wasleft winger Eric Nystrom, who was acquired in a trade with Minnesota justbefore the start of the season. Had it not been for the New York Rangerssending Sean Avery to the minors, then Nystrom wouldnt be in Big D. Why? Because the Stars were on the hook for most of Averyssalary after placing him on waivers before the Rangers picked him up. When New York sent Avery to the minors, it freedup some salary cap space for Dallas. Nystrom is a 28-year-old winger who was the 10th overall pick in the 2002 NHLEntry Draft by Calgary. He had signed a two-year deal with the Wild prior tolast season and had 12 points (four goals and eight assists) while skating inall 82 contests for them last year. But as last year wore on and as this seasonbegan, it became clear to the second-generation NHL player that he wasnt inany of Minnesotas future plans. When the chance for a trade to Dallas came up, he took the leap. It did takehim a bit of time to acclimate to his new teammates and to Gulutzans system,but Nystrom has recently settled in on the Stars checking line alongside Dvorakand Fiddler. In fact, he has a three-goal scoring streak, including a trulysick tally in Tuesdays huge win at Washington. Nystrom already has four goalsthis season, matching his past season total with the Wild. Plus, scoring against the Capitals was extra special because his father, Bob, aformer NHL player who was a member of the Islanders Cup dynasty teams of the1980s, and his mother made the drive down from Long Island. Not only did theStars give the Nystroms a nice show in the nations capital, but their son alsodelivered a solid goal for good measure. Sure its still early and there are only 14 games in the books thus far, butthe early performance of the Dallas Stars has surprised many. One key to their successhas been how quick the newcomers have integrated themselves into the room aswell as into Gulutzans system.Nystrom and Souray are two examples of that, guys who forwhatever reason it didnt go so well for them with their last employers. But thats all in the past as both are Dallas Stars and key contributors to theclub at that. Redemption has been a truly sweet song so far for the entireStars club, but especially for Nystrom and Souray.Heres hoping its a tune that continues for the remaining68 games of the regular season.

I received a couple of gift cards for my birthday and went on a little spree (squeeee) yesterday! Bath and Body Works was having a 1/2 off sale on ALL of their Fall scented items and I had a coupon for one free item with any $15.00 purchase. Needless to say, I scored BIG. I spent only $1.05 out of my own pocket!
If you haven't already, you MUST go check out the scent Secret Wonderland from B&BW. It reminds me of my beloved perfume Kat Von D's "Saint."
I also went to Target and picked up a few items. I had coupons for the Covergirl goodies, so I still have $4.00 left on my giftcard. Thrifty? YES! Covergirl's Lip Perfection lipstick in "Romance" is so super pretty. See me wearing it here. And who can resist a $1.00 ELF eyelash curler? lol
Have a great day my friends and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Craving Curves by WeasleyForMe
Fred is surprised to find how much Hermione has grown up since her days as the Gryffindor bookworm. He's even more surprised by how much he wants her. Hermione/Fred rated M.
Birthday Story for Preetoaka Raven Potter Weasley! Happy Birthday!
Fred Weasley couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't focus on his work, and he couldn't even focus on what his twin was telling him.
"Come on Fred, we need to sign some more documents. Earth to Fred? Pick up a quill and start signing," George said as he danced around in front of his twin trying to get his attention. "What's gotten into you anyway?"
Fred snapped his attention back to the task at hand along with his current tormentor. Hermione Granger handed him a stack of legal documents with a smile. Then she turned and bent to pick up her briefcase, and Fred audibly groaned at the sight of her creamy legs and curvy behind.
Several months previously, Fred and George had decided to further invest in their business by expanding their storefront on Diagon Alley. They planned to extend their product lines and would need more space to do so. After submitting an application for a loan from Gringotts, they began to worry over the annoyance of dealing with someone from the bank's business loans department. They were notorious for inflexibly enforcing regulations and denying loans for expansions.
The twins considered themselves exceptionally lucky to find that their loan officer and liaison to Gringotts would be none other than Hermione Granger, smartie-pants extraordinaire. Fred was dually pleased to find that she was rather easy to work with, and that she had also grown into a breathtakingly beautiful young woman.
Hermione on the other hand, was both pleased and nervous at having been assigned to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes as her first solo flight in her department at the bank. Luck and good timing had best described how she had interviewed for and earned her current position right out of Hogwarts. She had been able to take the place of a highly educated and experienced loan officer who was about to retire, and Hermione attacked her work vigorously.
But there was a nervous energy that was starting to get to her. Working in such close proximity with the twins she had harboured a crush on for much of her adolescence hadn't seemed like a big issue at first, but she found Fred and George to be as undeniably attractive as they always had been. There was something even more intriguing about Fred now, and she noticed it as she handed him some documents to sign. He seemed to give her an appraising, hungry look as he took the forms and began to leaf through them.
Both twins had matured physically and emotionally, as evidenced by George's recent marriage to Alicia Spinnet, one of the more studious and established women to recently come from Gryfindor House. They hadn't changed too much though. George kept his hair at a moderate length, and his blue eyes were as playful as ever. Fred had grown his hair a bit longer, and Hermione noticed he occasionally tied it back as Bill Weasley always had. She found the look very appealing on the twin who stood six feet tall, towering over her petite frame.
As Fred turned back to her, handing the parchments over, he gave her another long look complete with a slight smirk. Hermione tried to smile as she accepted the signed documents and bent to put them into her bag. She felt her cheeks grow warm as she took an extra moment to fiddle with the latch on her bag. She felt as though his eyes burned a sapphire-blue path directly to her very skin. It was with these particular gazes she felt she was bared before him, naked for Fred Weasley's evaluation.
As much as it frightened her, it was not completely unwelcome.
Hermione smoothed her skirt over her hips and turned to the twins. "Well that about takes care of the preliminary paperwork. I need to get back to my office and crunch some numbers and present this to my boss. You should hear from me again before the end of the week," she informed them, trying to avoid eye contact with Fred as much as possible.
"Sounds good, thanks Hermione," George replied as she turned and headed for the door. "Hey, what the hell does 'crunch some numbers' mean?" he asked Fred once Hermione was gone.
Fred was just staring at the exit.
"Oh wow, it's worse than I thought," George mumbled to himself.
"What's worse?" Fred asked after a moment.
George linked his elbow around Fred's neck. "It seems the little bookworm has struck your fancy," George said with a grin.
"She doesn't look like a bookworm anymore!" Fred announced, still surprised by the way Hermione had showed up to the shop the past few days. He glanced around to make sure there were no customers in hearing range. "Did you see her arse, George? That's not just Ronniekin's little friend in that body! She looks fantastic!"
George cleared his throat and lowered his voice as some school aged boys walked past. "Oh, I completely agree with you, but as I'm going home to Alicia in a few minutes, it would be ungentlemanly for me to elaborate…but yes, I did see her arse, and yes, it was very nice!"
Fred burst into laughter as his twin made an hourglass shape with his hands.
"Too bad she's way too smart to fall for the likes of you! See you tomorrow!" George said as he ducked quickly away from his twin and grabbed his coat.
Fred just rolled his eyes as he watched George leave, looking forward to seven o'clock when he could close the shop for the night. He hoped the end of the week would come quickly, bringing with it the return of Hermione.
Trying to get her off his mind, he decided to restock some Patented Daydream boxes. After a few minutes of falling into a daydream about Hermione sprawled out naked on his bed, he gave up, tossed the boxes into the stockroom and locked up early. He needed to get home and have a nice glass of firewhisky to forget all about the curvy brunette and her perfect, innocent smile.
So I have an idea where this is going to go, but if you have an awesome thought you think would fit in, please let me know! Thanks for reading and please review! :)

Larimar is a rare light blue version of the usually grey pectolite, which can be found in the Dominican Republic only. It is a quite hard material, scoring 6 on the Mohs scale on average, and usually the deeper their color, the harder they are. They have a very characteristic light blue tone which resembles the ocean of tropical areas, which is why people tend to confuse it with turquoise.
It is believed that Larimar (whose name comes from the combination of the name "Larissa", the child of the man who named it and the Spanish word for sea) has a very positive influence on the body while worn. It doesn't only represent inner peace, healing and love, but also stimulates the heart positively, helping to enhance spiritual health and mental wisdom. For these reasons, the Larimar is often advised for people who encounter much stress and anxiety in their lives, either during work or at home.
Larimar earrings are not only very elegant and slightly, but also indicate distinguished taste and inner peace. All items in our collection are made by hand with the best quality Dominican Larimar and of .925 sterling silver, which ensures that they are all unique pieces of jewelry. These earrings are suitable for nearly any kind of occasions from informal meetings to weddings, and they usually go very well with most of the clothes, especially cool-colored ones.
Keep in mind that all our U.S. domestic shipments are free, while we also make the shipment costless for those international orders which exceed 300 dollars. Not satisfied with your new Laminar earrings for some reason? Don't worry, just send it back within 30 days, and you will see that our customer support will refund or exchange the item in no time.

Community Mourns Star Football Player
Updated:COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Hundreds gathered to say their last goodbye to Rajaan Bennett, a star McEachern High School athlete who was killed in a domestic dispute.
Bennett was shot to death at his home on Woodcrest drive in Cobb County on Feb. 18. Police said his mother's ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Clifton Steger, pulled the trigger, then turned the gun on himself in a murder-suicide.
Family and friends shed tears and hugged one another for comfort in a packed funeral service at Trinity Chapel in Powder Springs.
"There's like nobody you can compare to Rajaan. We should all stay strong," said one mourner.
The 18-year-old recently committed to play football at Vanderbilt University.

Further details
Manoel, our caseiro, resides on the property in his own quarters separate from the main house. He ensures 24 hr security as well as attending to the garden and all house maintenance.
Astle is our management agent in Salvador. She will be responsible for the prompt delivery of the keys to Casa Flamengo on your arrival and the safe keeping of your security deposit during your stay. On your departure she will carry out an inventory check, collect the keys and return your deposit. Most Brazilians only speak Portuguese so communication can be problematic. We have employed Astle, who is multilingual; to be your main point of contact should you need urgent assistance during your stay. Although she is not a tour guide she will be happy to give advice on preferred taxi services, key attractions and the best restaurants that Salvador has to offer.
There are a few numbers in the information pack of English speaking taxi drivers. Our favourite is Vilela who is very friendly but be prepared for your Portuguese lesson while travelling with him.

Alternatively you can take in the many churches, museums and art galleries and shopping centres in the heart of Salvador. Salvador's eateries are generally easy on the pocket. Normally you should expect to pay about £5 to £10 a head but you can eat out for much less. Even at the very top end you will seldom pay more than £50 a head. A list of our favourite restaurants will be waiting for you at Casa Flamengo. Make sure you try out our favourite 'Pereira' in Barra. Also trying Salvador's traditional dish 'Moqueca' at the famous Yemanja restaurant is a must.
Location description from owner
The State of Bahia region
Salvador is Bahia state's capital city. It was founded in 1549 and quickly became the premier city in Brazil, and the second most important city in the Portuguese Empire after Lisbon. Salvador prospered in the 17th and 18th centuries; it was the country's major port with a significant portion of Brazil's sugar, gold and diamonds passing through the city. Today the wealth of impressive colonial architecture is evidence of the city's rich history. Well restored enclaves of the old city remain with cobblestone streets, colourful mansions and dozens of ornate Baroque churches.
The seductive atmosphere of this wonderfully decadent city is best soaked up on foot, within the narrow streets and markets, the best of which is the Mercado Modelo arts and crafts market. One of the city's more unusual experiences is to ride the Elevador Lacerda, an Art Deco structure housing old electric elevators that carry passengers between the port and the old historic part of the town, Pelourinho.
Salvador is Brazil's most Africanised state, a result of the thousands of slaves that were brought here 400 years ago to work in the sugarcane plantations. The fusion of African and Latin cultures has given Salvador a unique brand of magic that is particularly evident at the city's many festivals. Most notable is the massive 'Carnival' usually in February which attracts two million revellers from all over the world and easily rivals the better known Rio Carnival. If Rio is famed for its elegance and sophistication, Salvador is the opposite; it's all about the drums!
The only problem with Salvador's excellent beaches is that you are spoilt for choice. The range extends from calm beaches ideal for swimming such as Praia do Flamengo, to wild beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean such as Aleluia beach which attracts surfers. Some beaches are surrounded by coral reefs, forming natural swimming pools that are ideal for children. The beaches are the location for many of Salvador's great festivals, including the New Year festivities.
Turn left out of Casa Flamengo and within 30 seconds you're at a stunningly beautiful lagoon where you can go fishing, take a boat out or simply relax while watching the sun go down. Turn right and you're just a minute away from one of the most popular beaches in Salvador. Known for its warm and calm waters, Praia do Flamengo is favoured by swimmers. Though it is relatively peaceful during the week, it has an incredible atmosphere on weekends, especially on Sundays when it is full of the locals eating, drinking and dancing the night away.

"You always say you're gonna do it, but you never do. I just want to make sure tonight is the real thing."
(Michelle Carter)
It looks like Michelle Carter's psychopathic cat might be out of the bag.
Carter, 18, of Plainville, MA, was 17 when police say she encouraged her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, 18, to commit suicide. Roy, who had a history of severe depression and previous suicide attempts, was found dead in his car behind a K-Mart on July 13, 2014. He had used a generator to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
A judge will now decide whether Carter will face charges over his death. She will appear in court again on October 2.
UPDATE, MARCH 2016: Over a year later the case is still unsettled, with Carter's attorney making a free speech argument that will be heard before the Supreme Judicial Court in May (2016) Mass Live, "New Details Emerge." For an in-depth look at this case: NY Magazine, "Death by Text".
"You're finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain," she told him in one message. "It's okay to be scared and it's normal. I mean, you're about to die."
According to prosecutors, for almost a week Michelle Carter pressured Conrad to commit suicide until he finally gave in. She sent him over 1000 text messages alternating between harassing him into acting on his suicidal ideation, to counseling him to overcome his fear of death. At the same time she lied to police, his family, and her friends about his whereabouts before and after he poisoned himself with carbon monoxide in his pickup truck.
According to court documents, Carter talked with Roy on the phone for 43 minutes just before and during his suicide. At some point during the call, Roy exited his car (which was filling with carbon monoxide fumes) out of fear, but Carter convinced him to get back in.
His body was found in his pickup truck after his parents reported him missing.
"His death is my fault. Like, honestly I could have stopped it. I was the one on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared and I fucken told him to get back in… "
(Quote from Carter's text messages to a friend)
If this information is correct it seems she is callous, amoral, and without a conscience. Unfortunately, there's a chance she will never be prosecuted for her crime.
"If the police read my messages with him I'm done. His family will hate me and I can go to jail."
Here is a sample of Carter manipulating and coercing this mentally ill and vulnerable young man into committing suicide, via text message:
CARTER: You're so hesitant because you keeping over thinking it and keep pushing it off. You just need to do it, Conrad. The more you push it off, the more it will eat at you. You're ready and prepared. All you have to do is tum the generator on and you will be free and happy. No more pushing it off. No more waiting.
CONRAD: You're right.
CARTER: If you want it as bad as you say you do it's time to do it today.
CONRAD: Yup. No more waiting.
CARTER: Okay. I'm serious. Like you can't even wait 'till tonight. You have to do it when you get back from your walk.
CONRAD: Thank you.
CARTER: For what?
CONRAD: Still being here.
CARTER: I would never leave you. You're the love of my life, my boyfriend. You are my heart. I'd never leave you.
CONRAD: Aw.
CARTER: I love you.
CONRAD: Love you, too.
"Get back in."
Carter told Roy via text message that he would go "Straight to heaven, guided by God." It is alleged that she asked him to delete the text messages before he died, in an apparent effort to cover her tracks.
After Conrad's suicide, Carter sent a message to Roy's mother dated July 25, 2014 — twelve days after his death. She wrote, "… There was nothing anyone could do to save him no matter how hard they tried. I never tried harder at something in my life."
What a liar.
Then she went on to use his suicide to make herself look like a caring and benevolent person. She muscled her way in and took over a fundraiser in Conrad's name on behalf of suicide prevention.
Why did she do it? She wanted the power and control to manipulate a vulnerable, depressed person into his death. Making herself look good afterward, by playing the grieving girlfriend and good-hearted suicide fund raiser, was only a secondary gain (and an extra chance to get a thrill from duping others). Her image as an honor student and do-gooder was nothing but a cover for what she really was.
Carter was 17 at the time of Roy's death, but she could still face punishment as an adult – up to 20 years in prison – if convicted. She is currently free on $2,500 bond, and while she awaits trial she's been to the prom and to Disney World, as evidenced by photos on her Facebook page. No shame, no remorse. A judge ordered her to stay off social media until her trial is over, but her Facebook page is active — her mother is posting for her. This woman either has no sense, is in complete denial, or passed on her own psychopathy genes to her daughter.
These are Michelle Carter's parents… After a judge ordered Michelle to stay off social media, her mother posted for her on Facebook, including photos of Michelle at her prom and at Disney World.
Unfortunately, prosecutors have an uphill battle ahead of them. The case doesn't neatly fit into any statute in Massachusetts.
"It's not cyberbullying, it's not harassment, it's not stalking. So the prosecutor says, 'This is reprehensible conduct, disgusting conduct, must-be-punished conduct,' so he goes forward and says, 'Let's call this involuntary manslaughter.' Does it neatly fit in that definition? Not so much. We really are going to have a test case here," said CBS News' legal analyst and former Massachusetts prosecutor Rikki Klieman.
Wait a minute. Involuntary manslaughter?
When a person is killed by someone who did not have "malice aforethought," the killer is charged with manslaughter. Manslaughter is separate from murder, recognizing that people can occasionally kill each other without meaning to, and it tends to carry a reduced sentence. Involuntary manslaughter occurs as a result of negligence. The killer was not provoked, and did not mean to kill anyone, but his or her negligent actions led to a death. If someone can prove that the negligence was intentional, the charge may be upgraded to murder.
From the information available at this point, it is very clear she meant to kill him. Her negligence in not calling police when she could have saved his life by doing so was certainly intentional. Not only didn't she try to stop him or get help, she mercilessly harassed and coerced him into committing suicide.
The charge should be second-degree murder. In Carter's case, depraved-heart murder would be a much better fit than involuntary manslaughter. She acted with depraved indifference. Why should it make a difference that she did it via text messaging? To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be wanton (without regard for what is right, just, humane, etc.; careless; reckless), deficient in a moral sense of concern, and lacking in regard for the life or lives of others. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant's conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.
"In United States law, depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an action where a defendant acts with a "depraved indifference" to human life and where such act results in a death. In a depraved-heart murder, defendants commit an act even though they know their act runs an unusually high risk of causing death or serious bodily harm to someone else. If the risk of death or bodily harm is great enough, ignoring it demonstrates a "depraved indifference" to human life and the resulting death is considered to have been committed with malice aforethought. In most states, depraved-heart killings constitute second-degree murder." ~ Wikipedia
"If she really loved him as she said she did, why didn't she try to persuade him not to. Every day you wake up and think why, why, why." ~ Janice Roy, Conrad's grandmother
Some legal pundits are saying what Carter did was immoral, but not illegal. Her defense attorney is citing freedom of speech laws and denying she had anything to do with his death, because she wasn't physically present. "It's a sad story, a tragedy, but it's not manslaughter," Cataldo says. "What we have here is a young man who made a voluntary decision to end his own life. It was his voluntary decision. His death was not caused by Michelle Carter." He also claims that she was brainwashed into encouraging his suicide. Unless information becomes available that supports that claim, it doesn't look very likely.
"In the interest of justice and the lives of other people who will be manipulated in the future, I hope this case has a favorable outcome in the name of justice. It will only if it serves to protect others from the manipulation of sick, twisted people."

The following post is by MPFJ staff writer, Catherine Alford. Cat is a freelance personal finance writer who blogs at www.BudgetBlonde.com.
I feel like the word "money" sometimes comes with a negative connotation. Do you sometimes feel that way, as if it's immoral to want it or strive for having lots of it?
After all, our parents warn us against worshiping it. Some say it's the least important thing in the world. Others caution us to respect it and understand it. Then, of course, there's the saying that it's the root of all evil.
If you think about it, that's a pretty serious accusation!
It can certainly be argued that a desire for money has led to some pretty catastrophic events. Some that come to mind include wars, murder, Ponzi schemes and a slew of other things that we don't like to mention in polite conversation.
However, what about the good that money can bring? What about all the great things that it can do when there's lots of it?
I can think of a few situations where money isn't the root of all evil at all. In fact, it can be a ray of hope. I've listed of few of these below:
1. Donations to Worthy Causes
Monetary donations can absolutely change lives. To cite an extreme example, Warren Buffett recently donated a large portion of his overall wealth to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Even something small like paying for the food of the person behind you in the drive through can brighten their day. Have you ever noticed that around Christmas time, people are always paying for groceries and giving back? Wouldn't it be nice if that was the norm all the time? This example actually shows that you don't need a lot of money at all to make someone happy or improve their day.
Another example of donations is donating to your church. Many people give 10% of their income or more to their church, and that's used for worthwhile causes in the community. You can also donate to other organizations all over the world and help people who are not as fortunate as we are.
2. Investing in a Business You Believe In
Another great way to help others using money is investing in businesses that you believe are worthwhile and promising. Small business owners often can't even get their ideas off the ground without the help of investors, and they are often extremely appreciative of the help they receive.
Of course, investing in a small business is definitely risky because you don't know if they will succeed, but with enough research and enough forethought, an experienced investor will be able to spot the good ideas and help them come to fruition.
3. Paying For Others To Travel
When I was in college, I was the recipient of a need-based scholarship to study abroad. An older couple in the community gave it. They pledged $5,000 to a student who wanted to visit and study in another country, and that lucky student was me!
Their generous donation changed my life, and sparked a desire to see the world even more. I've even been living abroad for over two years now. I might not have had the confidence to move abroad without the generosity of that couple who helped me travel all those years ago.
4. It's an Excellent Motivator
Many people older and wiser than I am will say that you shouldn't be motivated by money; however, I'm not sure that's true. It would be hard to find someone who isn't motivated by their income.
Don't we all work hard so that we do well in our careers so that we can bring home an income to feed our families? If we don't do well at work or we slack off, we could get laid off or fired!
So, while I don't think money should be your only motivator to work hard, I think it's okay for it to be one of your motivators.
Another example of being motivated by money is trying to raise money for a cause. For example, Jacob has his Give 10% Back Project. He is motivated to raise money. Money isn't the actual motivator, but donating money is. In that way, I feel like we can be motivated by the numbers without losing ourselves in the process.
As evidenced by the examples above, money doesn't have to be associated with "evil." I know that the quote generally means that money is the root or the motivating factor behind most evil acts. However, it's also the motivation for some of the most charitable, life altering, and generous acts of kindness around. I've been the recipient of them.
How about you all? Have you been the recipient of generous acts of kindness involving money? Do you think money is the root of all evil?

I recommend this property for families and individuals looking for a place to kick back at days end and enjoy peace and quiet, comfortable and clean beds, safe surroundings and knowledgeable and friendly hosts. My family and I enjoyed our time at the Ransom's property. It was well advertised and a good value. Yes, we would stay again!
Thank you Jack, Jen and family for lending the home. Very thoughtfully decorated and equipped for wonderful stay. Personalized touch in a cozy atmosphere. Our kids loved the loft area, books and the games. We really enjoyed the stay. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet the kids for thank you for the wonderful welcome letter and the snacks. We highly recommend the property.
We felt at home immediately when we came. The Ransom's had prepared a homey, cozy tree top home for their guests. They had thought of so many little treats to welcome us, the best cinnamon bread and goodies for a quick breakfast and snacks! Lots of room and amenities to make us comfortable. Our stay was quiet and relaxing after busy days of exploring the Kenai. A must stay if you are coming .
We were very pleased with the accommodations at Jack & Jen's! Very clean, open and with lots of space for us to spread out. There was more sleeping space than we needed, but it was nice to have the room. Jen does a nice job with a few snacks & bakery items which were much appreciated. We would absolutely stay again & recommend to others.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our first time using Home Away and it was great!! We have 2 teens and everyone had their own area to sleep. It has its own parking spot and is separate from the owners which makes it easy to come and go as you please. The microwave/refrigerator and dishes makes it easy to prepare small items. Jen...the bread was great for breakfast!! We would highly recommend!
Three friends spent three great nights here. Space exactly as described. Very comfortable and kitchenette made for easy meals. You know the toast is done when the smoke alarm goes off but we moved the toaster and all was quiet. Near to the great hike into Lost Lake and Exit glacier and perfect distance from downtown. Appreciated the black-out shades for the long days. Some treats were left for us and they were really nice to have. We loved all the maps and nautical charts on the walls and were fun to preview the area. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jack and Jen.

The bed is a comfortable place of rest but it could be cosier.
We know that a two-minute stretch before bed helps reduce tension for a good night's sleep. And posture can improve our slumber. But the National Sleep Foundation also suggests a comfortable mattress and pillow, and making the room "attractive and inviting" for sleep.
Follow these 10 steps for your most comfortable bed yet.
Thread count
Thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric and is often used to measure quality, but it's not the only thing you should look for in a cosy sheet.
Joanna Goodman, owner of Au Lit Fine Linens, told Style at Home that the three things to look for are: "If it's Egyptian cotton, where it's woven and, lastly, the thread count." Goodman says when buying sheets, make sure the label says 100 per cent Egyptian cotton and look for a minimum of 200 thread count.
Tuck your sheets in
There's nothing worse than having your sheets and blankets twist around during the night. So make like a hotel and tuck them in. Martha Stewart will show you how.
Choose a fluffy doona
From natural fillings, such as pure wool, duck and goose feather, to down and synthetics, it's hard to know what one to choose. It comes down to how warm you want to be and if you have any allergies. If you're allergic to feathers choose natural fillers that are marked "allergy free", as they tend to be lighter and more breathable, whereas a feather and down-filled doona will provide more warmth.
Choose a pillow wisely
There is such a thing as having a cushion problem but this doesn't apply to pillows.
Similar to the doona, we're spoiled for choice when it comes to fillings. If you like to feel cuddled, a feather or down pillow might be nice, but be careful the ends of the feathers don't poke you in the face. There's also memory foam, polyester and an array of other natural options.
When it comes to size, Houzz said, "An oversized pillow can feel enveloping and cosy on a smaller bed." But softness depends on how full your pillow is stuffed.
Give your bed a scent
Smell your way to a better night sleep. The National Sleep Foundation said certain smells can affect your sleep, with lavender being "shown to decrease heart rate and blood pressure, potentially putting you in a more relaxed state."
Bring a scent to your room using oils and candles or add some essential oils to baking soda. Massage the baking soda into the mattress and leave for an hour. Vacuum and enjoy the new smell of your mattress.
Top off your mattress
Once you've selected your pillows and doona, finish off with a mattress cover. These days, mattress covers do it all - mostprotect against allergens and dust mites but you can also find covers that are waterproof and stain resistant. Most importantly they offer a springy, soft and fluffy layer for you to sink into at the end of each day.

We invite you to stay in our newly remodeled camp with a huge new screened in room. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers the best of all Adirondack worlds: a great mix of evergreen and hardwoods, ultimate privacy on nine acres of land, 972 feet of waterfront on Lake Clear Outlet giving you access to Lake Clear and Mill Pond.
It is a short drive to The Wild Center and Paul Smith's interpretive center. It is just a quick 10 miles to Saranac Lake, 5 miles to upper Saranac Lake, and 20 to the Olympic Village of Lake Placid.
Two canoes and a kayak are provided for you to enjoy the St. Regis Canoe area and the many connecting ponds and lakes. There is outstanding bass and pike fishing on our waterfront, Mill Pond, and Lake Clear, and the High Peaks trails are close by. It's just a short paddle, motor (20hp max) boat ride, or a beautiful easy hike to an awesome private, sandy beach on NYS land! Enjoy the shops and restaurants in Saranac Lakeand Lake Placid or get away from everything at our camp near the end of a private road.
My husband and I live in Illinois and have traveled to the Adirondacks to spend a week with extended family for 36 years. Our children and their cousins have memories of canoe trips, High Peaks hikes, picking raspberries, and songs and skits around the campfire. They continue to come to gather from Texas, Utah, California, and Dubai. They now have their own families and want to continue making memories and strengthening relationships.
JoAnne Broadbent purchased this cottage in 2012
This property gives us waterfront to send off canoes and to play. It is on 9 acres, so we can sing and play without disturbing others. It has a comfortable place to sleep and a wonderful huge screened in porch for gathering.
This property is close to canoe routes and High Peaks hiking trails, near cultural activities and attractions, and a short drive from Saranac Lake and Lake Placid for shopping and restaurants. At the same time you are surrounded by forests and across the water from quiet state land.
This house was better than we expected and close to everything we wanted to do. It is a great private property so that you can enjoy a true adirondack experience.
It is difficult to know where to start - the property was exactly as the pictures indicated, only maybe a little bit better. The screened in deck was spacious and a great place to get away and relax. We are a family of five and the canoes and kayak allowed us to journey on the lake together, and the numerous life jackets and paddles were modern and fit us perfectly. During the week we only saw three other canoes on the lake, Three. The whole week. I am a fisherman, and actually got tired of catching fish. They were abundant. (*More on that below if interested). Because the lake is actually an outlet of Clear Lake, it was much more calm when the wind was up. The area on the lake and around the home is about exactly what you would picture if you imagined an idyllic Adirondack scene.
The home was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The towels were great, the beds comfortable and everything in the home was clean and worked well. The water cooler was a really, really nice addition that we used frequently and we appreciated the ability to wash clothes after an adventuresome day. There was a fire pit out back and plenty of wood to go with it. The location was perfect - far enough away to be peaceful but close enough to Saranac, Lake Placid and Keene to be convenient. And Donnelly's Ice Cream is about three miles away. We went there every day, except when we took the easy 2 hour 15 minute drive to Montreal - great!. The owners were great, their instructions were clear and there was a local back-up in case anything went wrong, which it didn't. This camp is highly recommended and we hope to be back soon!
*Fishing - I hadn't fished much up North so was unfamiliar with pike, muskies and pickerel. They are mean and will hit anything. They also have a lot of teeth, so a wire or Tuffline leader is a must if you want to have a chance at keeping your lures. Also, learn how to take them off the hook. You could get cut pretty well if you are not careful. We caught yellow perch, aforementioned mean fish, very nice largemouth, bluegill and one walleye out of the lake. Rooster Tail spinners of various sizes and colors worked well (darker brownish colors seemed to work best and we caught all types of fish on these), as well as silver Kastmasters (best for the mean fish) and spinnerbaits (best for largemouth). I would imagine live bait or worms would work well also. Like I said above, they were abundant and we caught fish every time we went out.
This property is amazing! It was recently remodeled and far exceeded our expectations. Had everything we needed from towels to outdoor seats to spices and pots and pans! Easily accommodated our party of 8 and the screened seasonal porch was incredible as well was the garage. Plenty of space for all and the use of their extra boats was a bonus as we could all be on the water at once, life vests included! Plenty of great fishing spots and found a small beach that we could easily canoe to. Very remote and only 1 neighbor in the vicinity. Excellent fire pit and plenty of wood to go with it. Loved it so much we will be back next year. We normally stay in Saranac but this was way better and still only a few minutes drive into town. Owners were very responsive and responded immediately to any questions. Internet was spotty but we did not miss it as soooo much else to do. Thanks for a wonderful stay and see you next year😊
Our family arrived and immediately fell in love with the location and the house. It was very clean and well cared for and the location was on a private road leading to an outlet from Lake Clear. The canoes were nice & easy to use and they had life jackets for all age groups. The fishing off the dock was great and our kids caught lots of fish easily. The house has a lovely screened in porch that was a favorite for watching stars at night without fighting bugs or watching the morning mist lift off the water. The owners were very thoughtful and provided many of the comforts of home. It is only a 20 minute drive from Saranac Lake & about 35 minutes from Lake Placid with access to shops and other entertainment. It was a lovely, restful getaway. One note- cell service is spotty and wifi is not consistent, but it was actually really nice being forced to disconnect!
This newly remodeled place on the outlet between Mill Pond and Lake Clear gave our family an excellent week's vacation spot. The place is well equipped for people who enjoy cooking as well as paddling on the lakes. The close proximity to the Wild Center as well as to some great cycling east on Route 30 to 186 made it extra enjoyable for the more active members of our family. Those of us that love fishing were well pleased with the opportunities right off the dock as well as a short paddle away. The owners were terrific to work with and made sure there were local people that could answer our questions. This was our first vacation with our infant grandson and they were very accommodating to him. A wonderful experience for us.

We see celebrities who we admire as "friends". We support their work, we cheer them on, and we ardently defend them when someone makes an accusation against them. In the eyes of millions of people, Johnny Depp is a hero, an onscreen buddy, and who wants to believe that your best film buddy abused his wife?
I can't believe I'm writing this about Johnny Depp, one of the coolest actors to ever grace the screen: but what the hell happened to him? He used to be untouchable, but now he's just unrecognizable. When I picture Depp now, he's either wearing a brightly coloured hat, grown a moustache, or he's donned some ridiculous outfit and is traipsing across the screen. A lot of the time, it's all three, and that's not an exaggeration.
