Suicide Squad's new international trailer is here
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is making Warner Bros. an insane amount of money right now, opening to a huge $424 million weekend - with the studio releasing the new international trailer for Suicide Squad.
The new trailer has appeared overseas, and now online - showing off a few seconds of new footage. The new international trailer is also a little more fun and quicker than the previous trailers, losing the weirdly placed but super-cool "Bohemian Rhapsody" from Queen that was in the original trailers.

Batman v Superman makes $424 million in its opening weekend
While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is being ripped apart from critics, it is making more money than the negative reviews can whinge about it - pulling in over $170 million domestically in its first weekend. For the worldwide numbers, Batman v Superman is crushing it - raking in an insane $424 million so far ($254 million of that from international box office sales).
Considering Warner Bros. had a huge $250 million budget, Batman v Superman will make that back within the next week, pushing against its insanely awful 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With a $170 million opening weekend haul, it would make Batman v Superman place somewhere around #5 when it comes to opening weekend dominance domestically.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted to the tune of $248 million late last year, and then Jurassic World stomped through earlier in 2015 with its huge $209 million opening. Batman v Superman is breaking other records as well, such as it being the biggest Thursday pre-show on an Easter weekend, too.
Batman v Superman opens to $27.7 million during its preview night
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is finally here, with the movie beating both The Dark Knight and The Avengers at the box office on Thursday night.
During its preview debut on Thursday, Batman v Superman made $27.7 million at the domestic box office - beating out Age of Ultron which pulled in $27.6 million last year. It also beat The Dark Night, which made $18.5 million during its preview screenings. The all-time record for Thursday night screenings still goes to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which commanded a huge $57 million during its Thursday night screening.
Batman v Superman is still aiming at around $160 million for its opening weekend, even through a sea of negative reviews. It's already scooped up $7 million overseas, as it is flooding international markets. I've seen it and simply wasn't a fan - even after enjoying Man of Steel - seeing it a second time with the disappointment behind me had a more enjoyable feel - but it is definitely very messy with its editing, and its characters are constantly in impossible situations - which feels super forced. The last third of the movie however, is pretty much directly out of the comic book - which is awesome.
Have you seen Batman v Superman yet? If so, what did you think?
This 7-minute MCU Supercut prepares you for Captain America: Civil War
While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has flown into cinemas, Marvel is sitting in the shadows with Captain America: Civil War set for release on May 8.
In order to catch up with why Captain America and Iron Man are fighting in the movie - among half the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) - catch up with the story from all of the movies with the 'MCU Supercut - The Road to Civil War'. It's a 7-minute clip that explains everything incredibly well, setting you up for Civil War late next month (in some parts of the world) and May 8 in the US.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray rip torrent has leaked already
On the day that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters, the Blu-ray rip for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has appeared on torrent sites.
The official Blu-ray arrives on April 5, and four days ahead of that The Force Awakens through digital download. In the first 12 hours, TorrentFreak estimates that Star Wars: The Force Awakens had amassed 250,000 downloads - but I'm sure it's into the millions by now.
Disney can't do much to get it off the Internet, apart from the usual DRM and takedown notices. If Disney wants to get ahead of this, they're going to have to bite their tongue - or release it early. I think Disney will be biting down quite hard on its tongue right about now.
The first reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have arrived
The hype surrounding the launch of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been nothing but out of this world, with early reviews really slamming Warner Bros.' new superhero movie.
Some of the reviews, such as Uproxx's review, state: "I am gobsmacked by just how dull this movie turned out to be". Screencrush's Matt Singer said: "In Snyder's formulation, protecting the world from evil isn't a gift or a calling; it's a burden. And that feeling is reflected in the movie itself, a burdensome 150-minute slog about two men fighting over who is in the right when both are very clearly in the wrong".
Todd McCarthy from the Hollywood Reporter says that the writers gave up when it came to pushing Wonder Woman into the movie, explaining: "With just her sword and shield, she doesn't seem meant to mix it up with these big guys right off the bat".

Netflix reportedly shells out $90 million for Bright, with Will Smith
Netflix is spending more money, securing the rights to Bright in a bidding match with Warner Bros./MGM and PalmStar.
Bright is pitched as an R-rated thriller with fantasy elements, costing Netflix a reported $90 million. The streaming giant just secured the rights to War Machine with Brad Pitt recently, to the tune of $60 million, so Netflix is spending big in order to have the names Brad Pitt and Will Smith on its content.
Smith will reportedly play a cop partnered with an orc, who will be played by Aussie actor John Edgerton. $45 million of the total cost will be used to shoot it, with $45 million being spent on talent, and the back end residual fees Netflix won't get because of its anticipated limited cinema release.

The latest trailer to X-Men: Apocalypse is here
The latest trailer to X-Men: Apocalypse is here, with Bryan Singer continuing his directing run after the stellar X-Men: Days of Future Past. Check it out, below:
The trailer highlights the movie's main villain - Apocalypse - reintroducing the concept of his Four Horsemen. In the comics, the Four Horsemen are mutants who bodies and minds are changed by Apocalypse, becoming his slaves. During the war, these mutants are his closest allies, and when he needs to attack someone or something, these mutants carry it out.
The trailer expands on our look of the new Jean Grey and Scott Summers (Phoenix and Cyclops), but the larger battle is still at play. X-Men: Apocalypse kicks off after the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, with a younger group of mutants taking helm.
X-Men: Apocalypse is in theaters on May 27.

Marvel's 'Luke Cage' will debut on Netflix on September 30
Marvel has been having a great run with its shows on Netflix, with Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but Luke Cage is right around the corner - with a debut date of September 30.
After the events of Jessica Jones, Cage moves to Harlem where he will have enemies in Black Mariah and Cottonmouth. After what I saw of Luke Cage in Jessica Jones, I think that we'll see yet another huge hit within the show for both Netflix and Marvel.
The new Captain America: Civil War trailer debuts the new Spider-Man
Marvel has dropped the latest official trailer for Captain America: Civil War, which is filled with so much goodness, that any Marvel or comic book geek is going to require a change of pants.
The new trailer gives us a better look at the conflict between The Avengers, with Iron Man and Captain America getting up in each other's faces. We have a much better, but not-so-long look at Black Panther, and we get a better glimpse of Ant-Man. But the best bit is in the last few seconds, where we see Spider-Man join in on the fun... saying "hey everyone".
Spider-Man sports an all-new suit, with moving eyes - just like Deadpool (something Deadpool took from Spider-Man in the comics). Spider-Man can now show emotions through his suit, which is a great evolution over the previous Spider-Man movies (both of the Spider-Man franchises from Sony, the original Spider-Man movies, and The Amazing Spider-Man reboot).
Captain America: Civil War reaches theaters on May 6.

Turkish Delight vs Crisps. Neither wins.
Gabby gives me some of her Turkish Delight and as I eat, I realise this is much like my thing with the crisps. Eventually I push the box back in her hands and shake my head.
'Not working.' I grunt and get up. Gabby flashes me a worried glance as I gaze at that new human for a moment. I tear my eyes off her and sigh, making my way to the front of the bus. I look up at Gabby before I ask Beth to once again let me off. I'm half hoping Gabby will come with me and help me refrain myself, but as the beast growls forcefully I shrug to myself and jump out of the doors before the bus even stops. Beth calls after me, asking how long I'll be but I'm too far away, too quickly to reply.

I began teaching people how to clicker train their dogs in 1996. At that time, most pet owners had never heard of clicker training and few class instructors took it seriously. Mine was the only advertisement in the local Yellow Pages that mentioned the word "clicker." I had to persuade students to even try this novel gadget.
A decade later, clickers are now common in dog training classes. But, I suggest, clicker training still is not.

Dogs smile. Just like people, dogs pull the corners of their mouths up high toward their eyes, partially open their mouths, and smile. In 1872, Darwin wrote of the universality of facial expressions in The Expressions of Emotions in Man and Animals. Roughly 130 years later, Dr. Patricia McConnell authored For the Love of a Dog in which she compared human and dog facial expressions using the methods developed by Paul Ekman, the world's leading scientist on the topic. The truth is out: dogs smile, and, of course, experience emotions.

If you're on this website, and reading this article, you are probably interested in clicker training—and for good reason. The clicker is a wonderful tool. It lets us communicate more clearly with other species (as well as with our own, in some cases). It helps us focus on the behavior we want to see. It also enables the training of behaviors that would be extremely difficult, or even impossible, to train in any other way.

Yes, it is charming; but it is also rather sad. We have been training animals for thousands of years, and we almost never ask them to DO this! To bring their own abilities to the table. To think. If you'll excuse the expression. ((laughter)).

Behavior analysis is the science that underlies the technology of reinforcement training. Applications of behavior analysis include performance management, in industry and business; precision teaching, in schools; behavior modification, in clinical practice; and clicker training. The annual meeting draws some 2000 psychologists, from around the world. The speech reproduced here was given as part of the opening ceremonies.

My two dogs and I were out for a walk one morning, enjoying the fresh air and the exercise. Mokie and Monte walked next to me with their tails wagging happily. They were probably laughing at me as I hummed along with my iPod.
About three blocks away, a dog rounded the corner and began walking toward us. Despite Monte's full-body hackling, despite his rigid and tense body posture, and a deep, low, rumbling growl, I quietly told him what a good boy he was. I began shoving meatballs, liverwurst, and smoked Gouda into his large jaws at a rapid pace, creating as much distance as possible between the approaching dog and the three of us. I continued to feed Monte until the dog was out of sight, at which time the tasty treats disappeared back into the abyss of my faithful treat bag.

One subject that crops up frequently in training circles is the side effects of various training techniques. We caution against the harmful fallout of punishment-based methods. We debate the relative merits of luring, shaping, and capturing. We examine studies that compare the rate of behavior acquisition using various marker signals. And, of course, we love to talk about the added benefits of clicker training—engaging the dog's mind, the respondent conditioning of a positive emotional state, the fostering of creativity in both trainer and trainee.

Anything you do to get rid of behavior you don't want will fall into one of the following eight methods. The first four are the 'bad fairies,' the methods that have neither kindness nor special efficacy to recommend them. The second four are the 'good fairies,' the approaches that involve positive reinforcement and some understanding of behavior, and that are highly likely to work.

What is a No Reward Marker (NRM), and is it a useful tool or an awful mistake?
Should a good clicker trainer use an NRM, and, if so, when?
It's out there, lurking. At times you feel it stalking just behind you. At last it springs as someone asks, "Why don't you tell your dog it was wrong?"
The NRM debate has been reopened once more.
The debate arises in cycles, but next time you'll be prepared for it, no matter how stealthily it creeps.

The scientific study of behavior has led to some very useful ideas and insights about how dogs learn, really about how all animals learn. All organisms—dogs, cats, parrots, alligators, or humans—learn pretty much the same way. We each find different things reinforcing or punishing, of course, and we experience sensory perceptions differently. Some species or individuals are more tenacious, others more sanguine, some sleep most of the day, some are capable of learning more complex skills. Our unique environments play a large part in shaping us. But whether we live under the sea or in the desert, spend most of our lives perched on a tree branch, eat grass or hunt large prey, there are over-arching principles that govern how we learn.

Psst! Do you want to know the secret to getting things done?
Do you feel guilty about not walking your dog every day? Or not training as often as you should, or even not training when you really need to?

Let me start off by saying Happy New Year to everybody and I hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season. Now that we're in a new year though that doesn't mean the wave of great comics on a weekly basis has to end any time soon and that is something to definitely be thankful for. After last week's divisive Amazing Spider-Man finale I'm happy to say the outlook for this week is much brighter on the whole. Not only are the big two publishers putting out great titles but Image and IDW get back to their winning ways with a few personal favorites as well to round out what is an excellent first week of comics in 2013.
- Manhattan Projects #8
If not for the sheer brilliance of Saga this was my series of the year in 2012. With this title Jonathan Hickman proved he could seamlessly blend an alternate history with his sometimes far out there writing style and all signs are pointing to this book maintaining its strong run in the new year. In the first seven issues the Manhattan Projects have slowly moved to start their own independent nation/race/planet and have been increasingly shifting the old powers of society from the peaks they once enjoyed. It appears this issue sees these old powers push back against their new challengers, starting with the Projects' very own Artificial Intelligence F.D.R. who was seemingly not too pleased at hearing the plans of his teammates (I mentioned Hickman's out there writing right?). All signs are pointing to this being an explosive issue in the series and that means Image is easily getting my three dollars.
- New Avengers #1
Jonathan Hickman is taking over comics. Where he once was only writing one major title for Marvel, which was an incredible run on Fantastic Four by the way, he has now taken up two of the most important books in the entire Marvel NOW! relaunch (on top of the previously mentioned Manhattan Projects). To go along with his taking over the official Avengers title Hickman now has the opportunity to oversee a book that will include perhaps the strongest characters in the entire Marvel universe all in one place. Black Panther has assembled Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Black Bolt, Mr. Fantastic, Namor and Beast in order to prevent their universe from colliding with another. This group, better known as the Illuminati, have the combined brain power and physical strength to accomplish almost anything they set their minds to so this will surely be a problem only Hickman's science fiction addicted brain can come up with. I'm interested to see how he incorporates some of these characters in from other titles that are undergoing some serious changes. Amongst them are Namor's role after the events of AvX, Mr. Fantastic having just recently departed on an space vacation with his family and if the past-version of Beast from All New X-Men will be included on this team. As you can tell there are plenty of questions I am already asking about the series but that is only because I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this book.
- Superman Family Adventures #8
C'mon, look at this cover! How can you not want to see what's inside?!
A cool thing of note about this series is that it incorporates a shocking amount of new DC continuity into itself when it wants to. Case-in-point: in the last issue the Super Pets met the pets that work for Batman and who was there? None other than Batman Incorporated fan favorite Bat-Cow!
- Batman Incorporated #6
Last issue we got a trip in the time machine back to the world of Batman #666 where a Gotham protected by Damian Wayne as the Caped Crusader was ended in a fiery explosion. Now we get to see whether Damian will do as his father has asked and no longer remain on as Robin and return to his mother or stay and try to change the future Bruce saw. Grant Morrison has laid out evidence that shows Talia is a woman not to be messed with and since this development could throw a huge wrench into her long-developed plans I have to suspect she has something to say about all this.
- All New X-Men #5
Will Beast survive the evolution that has recently rendered him helpless while the X-Men he has brought from the past are still trying to get to grips with their current versions? I have a feeling Beast will survive his ordeal but what will his next form look like and what powers will come along with it? Last issue also saw present-Scott take a few steps back to truly evaluate what he has done in recent times and what Jean's return means for his own future, much to Emma's annoyance. The dialogue has continued to be incredibly sharp and the art is one of the best across all the Marvel books so this title remains a must buy as its first arc comes to end.
Those who generally pick up trades should see one for this title within the next month and it should be a great intro for those into the new Marvel NOW! universe that has gotten off to a fantastic start.
- Godzilla: Half Century War #4
This title hasn't released a new issue in a couple months and I feel that has to be due to the fact James Stokoe feels it necessary to draw an excruciating amount of detail of every panel in this book.
This picture I've put in here doesn't do the art justice as I had to shrink it down a bit so some of these details aren't as easy to see but trust me, I couldn't TRACE this picture in a month let alone write a script and draw an entire issue from scratch on a monthly basis (click on the picture to see the image in its proper size). I'll happily just sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts on this series, which is scheduled to go only another issue past this one. With the introduction of a few creatures from space it seems the original members of the AMF, once relegated to sidelines, will be called back into action and maybe with their previous experience in these fights they can finally turn the tide towards the humans' side.
- Harvest #5
The doctor is in a bad way right now. His plans of getting revenge on his former employers by reclaiming the black market organs he once implanted in the highest customer have seemingly hit the wall. From a recent conflict he has been left bleeding out and his recent patient has been kidnapped all while the FBI has begun to close down on him and those recently mentioned former employers are close to finishing him off so things seem to be at their darkest as this series concludes. Whether this series will get a run longer then this initial five issues remains to be seen but it has been one that I have thoroughly enjoyed throughout and would highly recommend when a collected edition is released for those intrigued by a dark, gritty and horrifying take on the black market organ trade.
- Red Lanterns #15
Atrocitus may finally get his revenge as he has seemingly begun a battle against the Manhunters that long ago ended all the life in his sector at the orders of a rouge Guardian. This battle may seem like a distraction from the Third Army event that has involved all of the Lantern books for months by this point but the Manhunters may hold a key in fighting their new foe as they too are completely emotionless in their actions. The Manhunters were once programmed to destroy millions, if not billions, of lives and if they could be programmed to go after the creatures sent out by the Guardians it may just help slow their assault on the universe. If Atrocitus can survive this most recent attack will he be able to figure out a way to do this?

This month we look at depreciation inside a Super Fund…
Every day I receive an email along the lines of "Buy property in your super fund".
So should you?
Generally, it can be a pretty good strategy – in fact, I recently bought Washington Brown's head office in my super fund.
BUT, there are still things you need to remember:
While the income (rent) you receive will only be taxed at the maximum rate of 15% …
any depreciation benefit you receive will also only have a maximum benefit of 15%.
Put simply, there are two scenarios:
1. Property in Super Fund name: Washington Brown Depreciation report calculates depreciation Year 1 at $10,000.
Max Tax Benefit to you is $10,000 x 15% = $1,500
2. Property in Personal name: Washington Brown Depreciation report calculates depreciation Year 1 at $10,000.
Max Tax Benefit to you is $10,000 x 45% = $4,500 (Max Tax Rate 45%)
(If you're on the highest marginal tax rate).
So one way to get the maximum benefit out of buying property in your super fund is to buy property where the rent is relatively high. As the income in the fund is only taxed at 15%.
It's still worthwhile getting a depreciation report for your super fund – but it has less benefit compared to a property in your own name.

Skincare Tips For Winter
28 January, 2015 0 comments Leave a comment
Follow these five tips to keep your skin nice and hydrated this winter.
Shorten Your Shower Time
Long, hot showers can dry out your skin. Try to keep your showers under 10 minutes so you don't lose moisture in your skin.
Remove dead skin cells by gently exfoliating.
Slip Gloves On
After moisturizing with your favorite lotion, slip cotton gloves on to help your skin absorb the moisture leaving you with super soft hands.
Add a Little Honey
Make your own hydrating scrub at home with honey and sugar. The honey reduces inflammation and the sugar helps with circulation. This is great for drier patches of skin like your elbows.
Don't Forget The Sunscreen!
Sunscreen in the winter seems silly, right? WRONG! Just because it's cold out doesn't mean the sun can't damage your skin. Remember to apply sunscreen daily. I like to use a moisturizer with an SPF already built in.

Morrigan's Kin
Morrigan looked at Xeranad with a curious expression on her face. The girl who once had no emotion to name, was brimming with a twisted happiness. She grinned, her whole set of teeth showing.
'Brother. You finally came.'Morrigan croaked.
Somewhere deep, deep inside of the Crow Child Morrigan, the true Morrigan was crying as she was slowly devoured by the Crow Child's soul.
'I came due to pointless anguish over a women I could not care less for.' Xeranad gunted, standing on pieces of shattered mirror as he made his way to his sister.
'You cried. Something about that ugly being must have touched your heart.' Morrigan snickered, stretching out her giant wings. A few feathers fell to the floor as she did so.
'I wonder why Alexander was so attached to him.'
'Well, that does not matter now, brother. Were back to our original forms and it feels amazing. But I'm hungry.' Morrigan pouted.
'Well, finding food is easy enough, we'll find you someone to eat when we get out of this wretched place. It stinks of happiness!' Xeranad shuddered, a smile bubbled up from beneath his mask, a evil glint in his eye, 'or, we could fill this guild with anguish, sadness and fear?'
'You mean I can eat what I like, brother? Anything?' Morrigan looked up, her eyes huge and insane with hunger.
Xeranad nodded, poking Morrigan's forehead. She snap around and exited the cramped room swiftly.
The older brother slowly walked out after the younger sibling who was already a good ten metres in the air.
As Morrigan's wings beat, she washed terror upon the guild. She smiled widely. It was good to be back and more powerful that ever.
The Crow Child opened her mouth and began to scream.

It's Back Even Though it Didn't Really LeaveMature
Chapter 35
It was coming back. Worse. The medicine had stopped working completely. Everything was falling apart again. I wanted out. Now.
My mind was everywhere. I couldn't focus on one thing other than death. I cut myself over and over, each and every night, just to feel. Watching the blood pour out of my skin was a relief. I don't know why though. It just was.
I had gotten even better at hiding my scars. I found places that would always be hidden by something. There was even a list of excuses on my laptop to blame the cuts on in case anyone saw them.
- My cat attacked me.
- My sirius came back.
- These scars were old.
- I fell down the stairs.
- I scraped up my leg on the concrete.
- I had a nightmare, and instinctively scratched my legs.
- My project involved drawing cuts on.
- My skin doesn't react properly to shaving.
- I got bad rug burn.
- My dog climbed onto me.
Those are just some of the pitiful excuses I came up with. I felt safer with the file on my computer, giving me alibis to the scars. That way I had several excuses, so it wasn't always just my cat, or tripping down the stairs. This list nearly took away my fear of being caught, because I would have an excuse for everything.
By now, it was almost my fourteenth birthday. I didn't want to make it until then, though, but I knew there wasn't much I could do. It was only days away, and there wan't anyway to die before then. I just had to wait it out, and plan to die before my fifteenth instead of fourteenth. Of course, if something did happen before my fourteenth birthday, I would be absolutely thrilled, but I couldn't count on it.

Tremere (VTM)
Redirected from Telyavelic Tremere
this wiki
|Warlocks, Wizards, Magi, Usurpers, Grayfaces, "Tremores" (the Trembling Ones)
|Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy
Clan Tremere is the second youngest of the vampiric clans, having just come into existence during the dark ages. In the little time since then they have made incredible inroads within vampiric society and are arguably the most powerful clan in the modern nights. This is due in no small part to their strict hierarchy, secretive nature, and mastery of Thaumaturgy, all of which elicit suspicion, fear, and respect from other Cainites. The Warlocks stand as a pillar of the Camarilla and are one of its main defenders, despite the fact that they exist almost as a subsect. Some even go so far as to consider themselves the evolution of vampirism, citing their extreme versatility of blood magic and lack of a true clan curse. The Final Nights have many things in store for the Tremere, however, and the more powerful they grow, the more their enemies gather - and in their bid for power, the Tremere have accumulated more enemies than most.
The Tremere clan weakness consists of an initiation, which requires all neonates to drink from the blood of the seven elders of the clan when they are created. This means that all Tremere are at least one step toward being Blood-Bound to the clan, and therefore must watch their step very carefully when around their leaders. Upon the introduction of V20, the clan weakness has been modified to run more deeply with the blood the Tremere study so: vampires of Clan Tremere are blood bound by only two draughts of another Kindred's vitae. The first draught is treated as if another vampire had two.
The Tremere began as House Tremere, mages of the Order of Hermes named for their leader and founder, Tremere. At the end of the first millennium, the members of House Tremere realized the Hermetic arts were failing and found its immortality potions no longer working. Facing the possibility of losing everything, Tremere ordered research into alternate methods of sustaining their lives. House Tremere undertook numerous experiments, but it was Goratrix who devised a solution in his investigation of vampires.
In 1022, Goratrix invited Tremere and six of the founder's closest advisers to participate in the completed ritual, which promised true immortality. Whether Goratrix knew what would happen is known only by him and, perhaps, Tremere, but at the completion of the ritual the participants fell unconscious and were reborn as vampires, their avatars destroyed and magical abilities lost. The mages had gained their immortality but lost the power they lived for. Though the others would likely have slain Goratrix for his folly (or trickery), Tremere ordered them to halt and declared that they would remain at his side, leaving their chantries in the hands of subordinates while they discovered the powers of their new forms in secret.
In time the Tzimisce made war against House Tremere in retribution for the Fiends that had been made part of Goratrix's experiments. The Order of Hermes also became suspicious of diabolical practices being performed by the increasingly secretive House, but Tremere was able to dissuade them from investigating further. Finally, in 1037 Tremere gathered the seven newly-made Cainites and forced the blood bond upon them. He then declared to them that House Tremere would be restructured with a new pyramid hierarchy, placing himself at the top as Primus of House and clan Tremere and his seven closest followers forming the Inner Council of Seven directly under him. They would slowly begin Embracing the rest of the House, with each initiate being bound to the Inner Council to ensure their loyalty. In time, all members of House Tremere would die or become vampires.
Dark AgesEdit
Motto: Arbitrium Vincit Omnia (Latin: "Will Conquer All")
Over the next century the Omen War with the Tzimisce continued on and off. With their mages growing weaker and those newly Embraced unfamiliar with the powers of the blood, chantries as far as their stronghold of Ceoris were repeatedly ravaged. While Tremere and Etrius pursued their own research throughout Europe in converting the hermetic arts into Thaumaturgy, Goratrix once again returned to his laboratories with his apprentices at hand. After years of experimentation on captured Tzimisce, Nosferatu, and Gangrel, he succeeded in creating a Gargoyle in 1121, and by 1125 the hybrids were serving as shock troops against the Fiends.
Nevertheless, the Tremere found themselves third-class citizens among the undead. Whatever boldness Tremere had shown in entering the night was ignored by the staunchly traditionalist clans, and they were often forced from cities by princes who did not look kindly on their presumption.
The Tremere's response to this was further boldness. As he and Etrius rapidly acquired more vampiric lore they discovered the history of Caine and the Antediluvians, as well as the benefits of diablerie. Seeking to establish themselves as a clan proper, the Tremere sought a clan founder to diablerize and settled on Saulot, the enigmatic founder of the Salubri clan. In 1133, Tremere and the Inner Council discovered Saulot's tomb in the Anatolian desert. Tremere diablerized the Antediluvian and promptly entered torpor, leaving the Inner Council to lead the clan and destroy the remaining Salubri.
As with everything else that the Tremere had done to this point, the result was a mixed blessing. Due largely to Meerlinda's efforts, the Tremere were entrenched in many Cainite courts, their services as mages making them indispensable to princes across Europe. They were now accepted as one of the Low Clans, albeit considered usurpers, distrusted warlocks, and known diablerists. A vicious propaganda campaign painted the Salubri as infernalists and soul-stealers, granting them some credit, and even those who knew better largely sat back while the Salubri were hunted to near extinction, for their arrogance had made them many enemies among the other clans.
In 1202, the Order of Hermes finally discovered what had become of House Tremere and sentenced them to death, resulting in a Wizard's March. The Massasa War, as it would eventually be called, never officially ended, but neither side had the resources to sustain the war and it subsided after a few decades, only to sporadically begin anew years later.
The Tremere continued their hunt of Saulot's descendents while making alliances with Hungarian Ventrue against the Tzimisce. By the 15th century the Salubri were only a legend and the Tremere were completely acknowledged as a clan. The Inquisition was particularly hard on them, however, and they lost many of their cults and chantries. During this time Goratrix used his influence and power to try to corrupt religious orders, most notably the Knights Templar, in order to seize potent artifacts held by the Church and turn its hunters against his enemies. When his bid for power failed, and the Knights Templar were branded as heretics, Tremere awoke and summoned Goratrix to return to Ceoris to stand trial before the Inner Council. After being censored and stripped of his authority, Goratrix fled into the east, believing his assassination was imminent. Shortly thereafter Etrius moved Tremere's torpid body to the Vienna Chantry, which became the new center for the clan.
The formation of the Camarilla signaled the Tremere's rise to legitimacy. Though the Tremere did not suffer greatly from the Anarch Revolt, the spread of Thaumaturgy among the Anarchs by the Tremere antitribu was a dire threat to the clan. The Warlocks used their sorcery to facilitate communication and coordination of the Elders needed to support such an endeavor and played a pivotal role at the Convention of Thorns when they placed a curse upon the entirety of Clan Assamite, preventing them from drinking the blood of Cainites without extreme danger. The Assamites would never forgive the Tremere, their rivalry continuing into the present. At the same time, the Tremere antitribu were also cursed so that anyone who partook of the Vaulderie would be branded by a mark visible to "true" Tremere. Such mighty feats were said to have been led by Tremere himself, who rose from torpor for the event, along with the entire Inner Council.
Victorian AgeEdit
In the 18th Century rumors were finally confirmed that Goratrix had joined the Sabbat and was gathering the majority of the Tremere antitribu to form House Goratrix. Though the Tzimisce ensured that the they would never become influential within the sect, the Betrayer's efforts brought them closer together in an ironic imitation of the main clan.
During this time the Tremere continued to spread throughout Europe and North America, with considerably less success in Africa and Asia. Despite this expansion, the clan maintained its hierarchy, and the web of communication leading back to Vienna and the Inner Council steadily grew.
The Victorian age saw a rise in occultism among mortals, and the Tremere were quick to capitalize. Infiltrating the many secret societies that sprang up among the upper and middle classes, they drew childer, servants and herds from them. This also allowed the Tremere to practice their talents more openly (although still within the strictures of the Masquerade), and what once would have gotten an incautious magus burned at the stake for witchery, now enthralled and excited mortals with its concepts of divination, conjuration and communing with spirits.
Final NightsEdit
In 1998, the Tremere antitribu are wiped out. After being called to a chantry in Mexico City, they are completely destroyed in an unknown ritual. If any of the antitribu remain, those who did not attend the gathering, they are undoubtedly in hiding. For more information, see the VTM: Transylvania Chronicles IV: The Dragon Ascendant and Nights of Prophecy supplements or the entries for Tremere and Goratrix.
More problematic is the increasing number of free Gargoyles that are making themselves known within the Camarilla and those that are clamoring for more freedoms and rights despite the Tremere's attempts to keep them under their control. Far worse, the Tremere are beginning to take notice of a growing instability in Thaumaturgy with frightening similarities to the failure of the Hermetic arts that spurned Goratrix's experiments and the transformation into vampires. The curse placed upon the Assamite clan has failed, with subsequent efforts to renew it unsuccessful, and the Assassins are hunting them with renewed vigor, even as a new faction of sorcerers and scholars seek membership within the Camarilla. The advancements made by the Tremere seem to be met by further setback, and little reassurances is given from the top of the pyramid.
The Tremere are the most strictly organized clan bar none, and every member knows where they stand in authority amongst their peers. This creates the illusion of total unison and cooperation for other Cainites, who rarely know anything of the Tremere hierarchy or inner politics. Their Founder and namesake, the nominal Antediluvian Tremere, sits at the top of the Pyramid and supposedly directs the entire clan, though very few have ever seen him or witnessed his hand in action. Many do not believe he is even a real person, but perhaps an ideal of the Tremere cause or a symbol of their unity. Beneath him, the importance of the number seven is emphasized, as each successive rank down is comprised of seven to one, starting with:
- Councilors - the members of the Inner Council of Seven and the true rulers of the clan, each of whom is responsible for directing clan efforts in a particular portion of the world. Each councilor appoints seven -
- Pontifices - a pontifex oversees a large region, such as parts of a nation or groupings of smaller countries and islands, and in turn oversees seven -
- Lords - each lord is responsible for a small country or group of states and uses their influence and knowledge to sway the Tremere in their domain, specifically the -
- Regents - the most visible figures of Tremere authority. A regent runs an individual chantry and is charged with the supervision of it.
- Magisters[1] - a term to describe a Tremere that has not sought power but instead has become a trusted advisors who manages inter-chantry disputes. Magisters educate and see to well-being of -
- Apprentices - the youngest and most numerous Tremere. Apprentices must spend much of their time training, serving some need within their chantry, or playing the politics of the clan as best as their inexperience allows. Some never advance beyond this rank, either because they are more interested in Camarilla politics or their own affairs to rise among the Tremere or because the lord of the region sees no need to create a new chantry and regent.
- Acolytes - are the ones who lie below Apprentices, a rank that includes Tremere that have not yet been accepted as a part of the clan, as well as groups that are bound to the Council of Seven (like the Trimira detailed below). Below Acolytes are ghouls and servitors like Gargoyles.[1]
Circles of MysteryEdit
Each rank, save for the Inner Council itself, is further divided into seven levels called circles of mystery. One's circle of mystery denotes one of several characteristics that have earned them prestige and further responsibility, such as skill in Thaumaturgy, years of experience and hard work, successful political machinations, or simple favoritism. The higher one's circle of mystery the more authority and power they have access to, but they are also expected to provide more for the clan and given less tolerance for failure. Those of the fifth circle or above are also commonly called "high" members of their rank, such as high apprentice or high lord. Promotion and demotion is dealt by members of higher rank, though tribunals may also be called where accomplishments and failings are examined. The pursuit of promotion is one of the most motivating factors for the clan's members to excel and obey Tremere doctrine, though advancement is rarely as simple as that.
Secret SocietiesEdit
The Tremere pyramid teems with conspiracies since the creation of the clan and the feud between Goratrix and Etrius. These houses of Clan Tremere are by now little more than cults of personality at their worst, but are distinct colleges of magic or philosophy at their most valid. The Clan consists of an unknown number of houses, some claiming only a handful of members, while others - such as the House of Tremere - claim every childe of the clan. Many of these societies are tolerated as long as they do not threaten the foundation of loyalty to the clan.
Known and accepted societies are:
- Astors - a secret organization that hunts traitors and infiltrators within the pyramid;
- Brothers of Absinthe - those who believe in the usage of certain drugs to elevate their consciousness and awareness in Dreams;
- Children of the Pyramid - who revere the spiritual concept of the Pyramid;
- The Covenant - a group that seeks knowledge of Necromancy to combine it with Thaumaturgy;
- Elite - a group of Tremere that believe that they are the next step in vampiric evolution and are dedicated to show the supremacy of the Clan;
- Guardians of Traditions - who stand opposed to any change in policy and oppose all modern technology and conventions;
- Quaesitori - a remnant from House Quaesitor that act as independent judges;
- The Unbowed Mundanes - a group of Tremere that lobbies for a better inclusion of those Tremere that show no aptitude for Thaumaturgy.
Besides them, there exist groups like the Eyes of the Serpent, which is a cell from the Followers of Set, the Third Eye, a group of Tremere that seeks to atone for the genocide against the Salubri, and the Illuminated Brotherhood and the Order of the Wyrm, which are rumored to have connections to the demonic Baali. Membership in one of these societies can be punished with Final Death once it is known, and so, these cults hide among the other members of the Clan. Other societies die out due to lack of interest, such as the Humanus League or the Golden Path of Harmony.
The houses of Clan Tremere are little more than cults of personality at their worst, but are distinct colleges of magic or philosophy at their most valid. The clan consists of an unknown number of houses, some claiming only a handful of members, while others — the House of Tremere — claim every childe of the clan.
Listed below are a few of the more prominent — or notorious — houses of Clan Tremere. Not all of these are common knowledge; some exist only as rumors and may well be fictional, while others are august and prestigious.
- Trismegistus - symbology and numerology;
- Hashem - Kabbalah;
- Rodolfo - divination;
- Daughters of the Crone - birth and death magic;
- Horned Society - infernalism (allows non-kindred members);
- High Saturday - voudoun and necromancy (allows non-Tremere members);
- Auram Guild - alchemy;
- Goratrix - Thaumaturgy (Tremere antitribu of the Sabbat).
Clan VariantsEdit
In truth, the Tremere are a bloodline of the Tzimisce, as it was the blood of Fiends that was used to create them. Regardless, there are no bloodlines of Tremere in the modern nights, as the clan's uniformity does not allow deviations. In the dark ages there was a small variant known as the Telyavelic Tremere that was influenced by pagan practices and arose in Lithuania, but they are believed to be long extinct.
Tremere antitribu Edit
|Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy
The Tremere antitribu are those Tremere that followed Goratrix into exile, named House Goratrix in opposition to their parent Clan. There are rumors that Goratrix flight was part of an orchestrated plan of Tremere, to have an agent in the rival sect[2], but these did not change the reaction of the Council of Seven: The antritribu found themselves cursed by the main clan.
Upon their first Vaulderie, a Tremere antitribu receives a very painful mark of a "T" on their forehead that can only be observed by another Tremere, marking them forever as a traitor to the clan. Within the Sabbat, the Tremere antitribu had a very low profile and rarely advanced in the ranks, mainly out of the grudge that many high-ranking Tzimisce had against them. Despite this, the two worked together on occasion, for example during the creation of the Blood Brothers. The Tremere antitribu had their greatest chantry in Mexico City, named the Universidad del Tercer Circulo de la Serpiente Dorada, where Goratrix himself resided.[3]
As of 1998, the original Tremere antitribu were considered extinct, thanks to a mysterious ritual that burned the antitribu to ash in a single night. As far as the original Tremere and the Camarilla were concerned, that was the end of the traitors; while any Tremere could in the future defect from the Clan and undergo the Vaulderie, these were not explicitly considered antitribu. Rather, they were just seen as Tremere with Sabbat allegiance.[4]
However, contrary to Tremere propaganda, the antitribu were not entirely destroyed: some antitribu avoided the acquisition of the cursed mark entirely, and a few of those that did have the cursed mark also survived the ritual that killed the others. While their numbers were few at best at the turn of the millennium, the Tremere antitribu lived on, even if many of these "survivors" were actually Telyavelic Tremere (decribed below) that had, from the start, faked having the cursed mark and masqueraded as regular Tremere antitribu.[5]
Telyavelic Tremere Edit
|Telyavs, Shepherds
|None, Sabbat
|Auspex, Presence, Sielanic Thaumaturgy
In the early nights of clan Tremere, before the diablerie of Saulot, a small band of Warlocks made its way into Lithuania. Clan records state that the original goal of this journey was to expand the clan's influence into these lands, or to find allies. Some elder Tremere, though, claim that these pilgrims took the journey to escape from the clutches of their clan once and for all.
Whatever the original motive behind the exodus, when the Tremere arrived, they fell in with the pagan peoples of Lithuania and learned of Telyavel, the protector of the dead. The local people saw the vampires — nocturnal, bloodthirsty, and obviously magical — as incarnations or avatars of their death-gods, and the Tremere grew to believe them. They cast off the name "Tremere," and simply became the "Telyavs." While they had some infrequent contact with chantries outside of Lithuania, for the most party they remained patrons and predators to the villagers.
This was not to last, however. In the late 13th century, the Ventrue warlord Jürgen the Sword-Bearer destroyed one of the last remaining enclaves of the Telyavs under the leadership of Deverra. The bloodline managed to limp along for another few centuries, but by the 16th century, the main body of the Tremere reported that all of them had been destroyed when the union of Lithuania and Poland results in the triumph of the Christian religion over paganism through the Inquisition.
While it is believed that the Telyavs didn't survive to see the modern nights, a small group of them feigned their demise and joined the Sabbat, posing as regular antitribu out of fear of retribution from the main Clan. They are also constantly watchful for any signs of inquisitorial interest in their activities, as their magic deals with spirits that could, combined with their revulsion to True Faith, quickly be interpreted as indications of Infernalism[6].
The founders of this bloodline split from their parent clan when they were sent to learn the magic of eastern European pagans (which resembled Koldunism in some ways). Those Tremere converted to the worship of the deity Telyavel and developed their own animistic branch of Thaumaturgy, taught by Telyavel himself, called Sielanic Thaumaturgy.
Most of the Telyavs used a chantry near Riga as their haven. This chantry was situated in a corpse of trees atop a sacred hill, and remained one of the clan's best-kept secrets. While other Tremere knew of its existence, only the Telyavs knew its location. A few other chantries of this bloodline existed throughout Lithuania and Poland, but in addition to their chantries they often maintain secondary homes, which also served as shrines for pagan worship.
Unlike most Tremere elsewhere in the Dark Medieval world, the Telyavelic actively embraced women, seeing them as embodiments of the dark mother-goddess figures of local paganism. Although the majority of this group is still male, nearly a third is female, and many of these were created during the middle age.
Candidates for embrace came from the ranks of pagans: many of them were priests and priestesses of the old religion. Although most of the Telyavs had shamanic or druidic concepts and favor mental attributes and knowledge, Lithuania had become a battleground between the pagan tribes and the Christian Order of the Sword, so a few Telyavs also came from warrior stock.
The Telyavs bound their fates so tightly to their pagan herds that they took on some of the same fears and enemies. They are weak against Christian symbols and the True Faith (difficulties to resist frenzy are two higher than normal when confronted by an enemy using True Faith as a defense). They recoil from the sight of the cross or other symbols of the Christian faith.
The Tremere of Lithuania adhere to a modified pyramid. Each generation drinks twice of the blood of the previous generation, thus bringing them to the verge of forming a Blood Oath with their sires generation. Typically, a number of Telyavs gather together to oversee the embrace of a new number, thus ensuring a sufficient supply of elder blood to establish the hierarchical bond between generations.[7][8]
Not a bloodline per se, but rather an unusual acquisition born out of need, the Trimira are a branch of Indian Tremere that bolstered their ranks within the hostile land by introducing non-Tremere Kindred (usually low-ranking Ravnos and Nosferatu) via the blood bond to the Inner Council to ensure their loyalty.[9]
Aside from the clan hierarchy, Tremere are sometimes grouped into political factions and houses, which range from cults to distinct colleges of magic or other intellectual pursuits. These groups are generally highly informal and maintain their own organization, if any at all, and some may even at odds with one another. To the rest of Cainite society, however, they always present a unified front. Given their history as usurpers and power-grabbers, they are obsessed with the image and reputation of their clan. The Tremere are one of the primary pillars of the Camarilla in the modern nights, arguably second only to the Ventrue in terms of the support and influence they possess (most of this power comes from the Tremere's near-monopoly of Thaumaturgy, but also from the encouragement for individual Tremere to place clan interests high on their list of priorities).
The clan is synonymous with blood magic, a fact that they use to instill fear and envy in others. While they are surely not the first thaumaturges in Cainite history (despite claims to the contrary), their paradigm is one of the most flexible and expansive. The Tremere differ from the other thaumaturges by adopting a uniquely scientific approach to magic, and they encourage active experimentation - the result being a staggering array of thaumaturgical paths and rituals. Of course, no single individual knows every application of blood magic, and such knowledge is one of the main forms of barter within the clan.
The Clan places great value at the numerological value of the number seven. Seeing the mind ordered akin to a pyramid ordered in seven steps, the internal discipline of the mind mirrors the structure of the Clan itself. Thoughts, desires and fears have to be ordered in these seven steps. Likewise, the pyramid teaches seven lessons; those of Discontinuity, Hierarchy, Apathy, Favor, Authority, Documentation and Surveillance, in order to shape their members into the desired form.[10]
The Tremere are very selective in who they Embrace and normally do so with a mind for the clan's needs, a condition reinforced by the fact that the local regent must give permission for an individual to be sired. Individuals of strong will or aggressive personalities are normally sought, provided they have a clear head and can learn to be a part of the greater whole that is the clan. Candidates were scholars in life, and many dabbled in the occult to one extent or another, though that is not a prerequisite. Of course, there are "rogue" Embraces for the usual reasons - love, political gain, or accident. Regents often have these mistakes killed immediately, with suitable punishment levied against the sire, but there are always exceptions.
Soon after being Embraced, Tremere neonates are made to commit to the Tremere Code - which elaborates on what's expected of a Tremere, and what activities would earn disfavor. The neonate has to drink the blood of the Inner Council of Seven through a ritual called the Transubstantiation of Seven, bringing them one step towards a blood bond to the clan's leaders and ensuring some degree of loyalty to their peers. Afterwards their training begins, even as they continue to grapple with their transformation into a vampire, memorize the Traditions, learn to feed, and so on. These factors lead to a high rate of failure in newly Embraced Tremere, who may go mad or commit suicide.
Version DifferencesEdit
The Tremere backstory is heavily based on Ars Magica, and the original House Tremere appeared as a Hermetic house in that game system. As the Classic World of Darkness progressively diverged from Ars Magica's medieval Europe, certain elements of the backstory become problematic.
As part of the metaplot, the antitribu were eliminated at the start of Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition. The reasons and methods were expanded upon in VTM: Transylvania Chronicles IV: The Dragon Ascendant and Nights of Prophecy. In V20, some survived the ritual that burned the overwhelming majority of antitribu in 1998.
For Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition, the Tremere clan weakness (often regarded as one of the least punitive of the original game) was revamped. The Tremere in V20 suffer a greater affinity for blood bonds of all kinds; a blood bond only takes two drinks of blood for Tremere, and they gain +1 towards all Vinculum rolls.

The Concorso Italiano in Monterey
Italy's Automotive Excellence Shines in Monterey. The morning fog that covers most of the Monterey Peninsula each summer morning cast an ethereal spell over the roaring Italian exotic automobiles on display at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch....
And what a treat it was. Sprawling over five fairways were over 1,000 Italian cars. We saw the sea of red Ferraris, a palette of Lamborghinis (even one in chrome and another in pink), a leading edge Pagani Huayra, Alfa Romeos, vintage Lancias, Panteras, Maseratis, and yes, the diminutive Fiats. This was a celebration of Italian style.
The feature at Concorso Italiano this year was the 100th Anniversary of Bertone Design. This venerable Italian automobile designer created some of the most iconic designs and has always pushed the envelope when it comes to automotive design standards. Bertone treated the enthusiasts to the North American debut of its latest one-off, the Nuccio. Named after the son of the founder, the orange-topped Nuccio takes on a reptilian look that's almost sinister. Hearing Bertone Design Director, Mike Robinson, describe the design theory and evolution of the car was a clinic unto itself. In addition to the Nuccio, there was a sensational display of several of the rarely seen Bertone concept cars, and amazing production designs.
Fiat unveiled the new 500T, which is a turbo version of the new 500. This is lightning in a bottle. Just a few feet away was the new Pagani Huayra which will be available in North America next June. This astounding supercar was designed and engineered based on aeronautical technology, and every surface and feature of the car screams "extreme."

While some were sympathising with Sandy Lyle's decision to throw in the towel after just 10 holes of the first round here yesterday, others were not being quite so understanding. As Peter Dawson, the chief executive of the Royal and Ancient, intimated, it is one of golf's unwritten rules – you do not quit. Not in a major, not when there is nothing wrong with you, not when an alternate is standing by, desperate for a berth. "It is disappointing," said Dawson. "He was having a bad day, but I have to say that a professional should always complete his round if he can."
Mark Brown would no doubt agree. The New Zealander had travelled to Southport on the off chance of appearing at the Open. But Brown had to watch as Lyle, a man who says he possesses every quality required to be a Ryder Cup captain, waved the white flag when 11-over.
Why? Did he sprain his wrist as badly as the defending champion, Padraig Harrington (who, incidentally, played through the pain for a highly respectable 74)? Er, no. "It was cold and my hands were hurting a bit from a few real skanky shots," said the 50-year-old, who also revealed that his spectacles had steamed up.
At least Lyle did not claim a spurious injury. "It is not very nice when you are only an hour and a half, two hours into the Open and you have basically chucked it," said the former champion. "I don't make a habit of it. I was all over the place and it was total meltdown. I did myself more harm than good staying out, so I had to get back in."
Lyle will now play in his first British Seniors Open at Troon next week. Cold tootsies notwithstanding.

INSERM ERI 17, HP2 Laboratory, Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity-mortality. Little is known on what daytime moderate chronic hypoventilation adds to obesity on systemic inflammation, adipokine production and endothelial dysfunction. Aim: To compare inflammatory status and endothelial function in OHS versus "uncomplicated obese" patients (UO), matched for BMI, age and sex.
Diurnal blood gazes, respiratory function, CO2 ventilatory response, polysomnography and endothelial function, measured by reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT), were assessed. Inflammatory (Leptin, RANTES, MCP1, IL6, IL8, TNFα, Resistin) and anti-inflammatory (adiponectin, IL1-RA) cytokines were measured by commercially available multiplex beads immunoassays.
14 OHS (BMI: 41 ± 5.2 kgm-2, PaCO2: 6.5 ± 0.4 kPa, age: 57 ± 10 years) and 39 UO patients (BMI: 40.9 ± 5.1 kgm-2, PaCO2: 5.3 ± 0.4 kPa, 56 ± 10 years) were included. PaCO2 was significantly higher in OHS (p < 0.0001) whereas PaO2, vital capacity and CO2 chemoresponsiveness were lowered (p < 0.02). Serum RANTES levels were significantly increased in OHS (55.9 ± 55.3 vs 23.3 ± 15.8 ng/ml p = 0.003) and correlated with daytime PaCO2 (r=0.53 p = 0.0001). Serum adiponectin was reduced in OHS (7.6 ± 2.9 vs 13.7 ± 7.8μg/ml p = 0.004). Endothelial function was more impaired in OHS (p = 0.006) compared to UO and negatively correlated with PaCO2 (r=−0.37 p = 0.009) and positively with PaO2 (r=0.36 p = 0.01).
Compared to UO, OHS is associated with a specific increase in the proatherosclerotic RANTES chemokine, a decrease in the antinflammatory adipokine adiponectin and impaired endothelial function. These three conditions are known to be strongly associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.
This study may explain why excess in cardiovascular morbidity is observed during OHS.

I'm lonely
I want to be devoured.
I'm thinking about how much I miss being his. I'm thinking about how much he loved me and I left him. I'm thinking about how hurt we both were when I left and how much I regret leaving him behind. I just want to be touched by him. I want to kiss him. I want to cuddle and fall asleep while he plays video games. I want everything we used to have.
I stare at the wall and feel nothing. I love my alone time but don't fancy being alone. My heart feels no pain, just emptiness. Just the absence of human touch, love and affection. M heart has become a hole. A hole that rips through me, prevents sleep and concentration.
Hi person! I like that you took the time to read this if you enjoy my pictures I have more on Instagram. Rough.xx is my page name. If your still reading you are wonderful. Stay fabulous!!
I like a guy.
I have been having a pretty bad day and I for sure had a little meltdown, so I decided to go to Starbucks as a treat. I asked the girl what she thought the most comforting drink was and she replied, "the earl grey latte", so I asked for a tall. After I had paid she asked "if I give you a Grande would you drink it" and I replied, "Probably". She could tell how upset I was and gave me bigger size for free. That literally made my night and I can't thank her enough for her kindness.
why is the world full of such cruelty?
I wish I wasn't so afraid of embarrassing myself...
Now I see fire Inside the mountain I see fire Burning the trees And I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze And i hope that you'll remember me
Writing is freedom. It's the feeling of relief mixed with revelation and terror. It's the feeling of frustration, confusion and joy. Writing is not simply writing, it's emotion in the form of words.
stoner, unite!!!
will I ever be someone's one and only?
If not now, then when?
when my hands fail me, no one is there to pick up the slack.
my birthday has come and past. wow, what a nice day!

Shares of SolarCity (SCTY) were up more than 12% in early trading Monday, as at least four investment banks initiated coverage with bullish ratings for the solar energy system installer.
Goldman Sachs (GS), Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC) and Needham & Co. started with buy ratings, while Credit Suisse (CS) launched its coverage with a outperform rating.
Goldman, BofA and Credit Suisse were lead underwriters for SolarCity's initial public offering, and Needham was a co-underwriter. The stock started trading Dec. 13 after pricing at $8 a share.
