Here's chapter two!
Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray Man, nor do I own Toaster Strudels and Ego Waffles
Allen rolled over in bed and felt the cool sheets against his skin. He sighed in content and buried his face into Kanda's chest. It was so peaceful, it was so calm, it was-
He looked over at the clock- It was six thirty?!
Allen yelped and jumped out of bed before practically pushing Kanda off the mattress.
"What the fuck Moyashi?!" Kanda growled as he caught himself before he hit the floor.
"Its six thirty, and we have to pick up Lavi!" Allen said frantically and ran into the bathroom so that he wouldn't smell like sex in the class room. He heard Kanda storm after him, cursing with his stride. After getting into the shower, Kanda thoroughly scrubbed down a yelping Allen and practically threw him out of the shower to get dressed before following suit.
After being practically molested by Kanda, Allen grabbed a towel from the closet and raked the material over his skin to dry off. He then sprinted to the closet and pulled on a pair of steal grey dress pants, a white shirt and a grey vest. As he was tying on a blue tie, as he couldn't find his usual red ribbon, he heard the blow-dryer running. He nearly laughed out loud; the fact that Kanda was using a blow-dryer was just too hilarious. However, he knew that once Kanda was finished with his task, Allen would be dragged mercilessly out of the apartment building and to work, so he would have to use his time wisely. AKA he was going to scarf down as much food as time permitted in the kitchen.
The blow-dryer stopped when Allen was on his twenty seventh Ego Waffle, and sure enough that was followed by the rough grip of Kanda's hand on his shoulder and him being pulled out of their home. They practically ran to the car and Kanda put his keys in the ignition before driving, well over the speed limit, to Lavi's house. Allen was surprised that Kanda went straight to Lavi's; he honestly was expecting the man to ignore the redhead completely and drive directly to school.
Finally, they arrived and Lavi's and Allen got out of the car to ring the doorbell. Kanda watched the Moyashi's progress up the steps of the history teacher's door, or more correctly, watched the Moyashi's ass as he walked up the steps. God, those pants hugged the man's thighs leaving almost nothing to the imagination. Kanda pondered whether or not to burn all of the Moyashi's tight fitting clothing and make him go to work in sweatpants so that no one would be able to objectify Allen like he hypocritically was now.
A group of men were walking down the street and the wolf whistled at the oblivious English Teacher. Yup, Kanda was definitely going to burn those pants.
After about five minutes Allen was walking back down the stairs with a grinning redhead. They got into the car and Kanda swung away from the curb and down the streets to the school.
"Damn," Lavi commented, grinning, "Yu, you sure are going fast… did you guys have a late night or something?"
Kanda rolled his eyes at Lavi's falsely innocent voice, "Yes, do you want video proof or something?"
"Kanda!" Allen scolded his face heating up.
Lavi chucked, "I would like to see that, I always wondered what you two were like in bed."
"Who ever said anything about a bed?"
Lavi chucked, "I'm sure that it is eventful, after what I had to deal with throughout high school."
Allen blushed, and finally they arrived at the school with Allen practically sprinting out of the car and to the English wing.
Lavi chucked and nudged the dark haired teacher, but then became serious, "Kanda."
That got Kanda's attention. Even if things were serious, Lavi still addressed him by Yu, knowing that it pissed him off. If Lavi called him Kanda, then serious shit had gone to hell. He looked at Lavi.
"Bookman wants to talk to you. He's going to call Allen first, but he wants you to know what he's going to tell Allen, because knowing him, he'll try to brush it off."
Kanda's eyes narrowed, "What does he want to talk about?"
"Just talk to Bookman."
Kanda nodded despite his growing curiosity and headed into the school with Lavi.
It was the end of the day and Kanda was in a very pissy mood. He stormed down the hall seething about exam weeks and poor performances and stupid Allen who let his stupid fucking students bring in candy during the test. He was just about to turn down the corner of the hall when he heard, "Yes, I think it would be him and Professor Walker…"
He halted, recognizing the voice to be a student's. Frowning slightly he paused and listened to the conversation, it sounded like a group of girls.
"With professor Bookman? Oh, god, that's hot…" (AN I am referring to Lavi, not Bookmen here. No offence Bookman)
Kanda's blood began to boil. Is this what girls talked about in high school? Which teacher would be the hottest to pair up? More importantly why wasn't Kanda paired up with Allen?
"Oh, totally! And I bet professor Bookman would be so kind and gentle taking him."
"Yeah, I know right? Professor Walker would definitely be the uke."
"Well, no duh!" a girl squealed.
Kanda twitched.
"Oh, I don't know," a quieter voice started, "I think that Professor Walker would be better with Professor Kanda."
Finally! Someone with some sense! (AN: I'm not popin' a squat on other pairings, this is just of Kanda's perspective)
"Are you joking?! Professor Kanda would crush poor Professor Walker, then Professor Walker would run away to Professor Bookman after being mistreated."
Kanda was about to have a conniption, and yet he couldn't bring himself to stop the conversation. He was shamefully drawn in. More importantly, what were these motherfucking brats talking about?! Kanda never mistreated Allen, so these children could shove it up there asses for all he cared.
The quiet voice continued, "I think Professor Walker would top."
If Kanda wasn't Kanda, his eyes would be bulging out of his head. Who the fuck was this kid? Hmm, Allen toping? The thought had never really struck his mind. Did Allen want to top? Was Kanda supposed to ask him that?
Kanda continued pondering this when he felt a soft voice in his ear, "Kanda, what are you doing?"
Oh fuck no. Not the Moyashi. He turned around slowly to look at Allen, who was watching him with wide silver eyes.
"I think Professor Walker would be very energetic in bed…" that annoying-as-fuck voice continued.
Kanda looked at Allen, who was having a silent gagging fit. The poor English teacher was brick red in the face, which didn't help the act that he looked like he was choking on a Toaster Strudel.
"Do you think Professor Kanda speaks in Japanese when he gets into it?"
That's it. These kids were getting way to into his personal life, and pairing Allen with Lavi made Kanda want to punch a wall. He turned the corner ignoring Allen who was clutching at his arm and made eye contact with the group of girls.
He glared at them all in a way that promised them all lab reports and tedious work, "Is there something that you wanted to tell me, Ladies?" Kanda asked, his voice as sharp as a blade and angry as fucking hell.
All of the girls paled except for one who was standing in the middle of the group. That said student wove her way through the tangle of girls and directly in front of the pissed off chemistry teacher. She was petite with large glasses and a pudding bowl haircut, "Well, do you speak Japanese in bed?"
Holly motherfucker- Did that girl seriously just say that?! Her voice matched the quiet voice that had spoken before, not giving her any brownie points in Kanda's book.
Kanda's glare changed from one that promised homework, to one that promised a life of pain, "You little-"
"Kanda!" Allen reprimanded, coming up behind the taller male just in time, "Don't start anything that-"
"Baka Moyashi, did you not hear what she just said?" Kanda boiled.
"I told you so…" The girl with the pudding bowl haircut said quietly, her face lacking any expression.
The other girls in the group giggled, but then shut up when Kanda set them on fire with his glare. Allen, sensing the heavy atmosphere, mainly emanating from Kanda, pushed the older man away from the girls and spoke soothingly, "Please take this as a lesson, girls, and don't speak openly about other people like that. It's rude to be frank," he softened them with a smile, "Good day."
Allen dragged Kanda away from the girls and down the hall. Finally, they arrived in room 308-E, or Allen's class room. Kanda shook his arm out of Allen's grip and sulked, glaring at the wall, at the windows, at the floor, at everything. Allen chuckled and Kanda glared at him too. The Moyashi was standing up, hovering over his desk with his black framed glasses on his nose as he looked up to laugh at Kanda.
Kanda glared at Allen and said, most eloquently, "Fuck you."
That only made Allen laugh again, "Here," he said, tossing a paperback book at Kanda, "Read this while I grade this last paper then we can go."
Grumbling like a child, much to Allen's amusement, Kanda sat down in one of the desks and opened the book.
"Oh, fuck no!" Kanda cursed upon reading the first sentence of the book. Angrily, he flipped the book over to read the front cover. To Kill a Mockingbird.
By this point, Allen was in a fit of absolute mirth. Laughing uncontrollably at Kanda's expense. When Allen had to read the book in his freshmen year at the Black Order, Kanda had practically ripped it out of the fifteen year old's hand, proclaimed the book to be shit then chucked it out the window. To summarize, Kanda didn't think the piece of literature to be worth his time.
"I'll tell you what," Allen said, grinning as he made a mark on the paper with his pen, "If you get past chapter five, then you can make me do anything, but only one, when we get home."
Originally, Kanda probably would just have said no, reading five chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird was hell, but the more devious part of his brain was currently picturing all the favors that he could get Allen to do for him. An image of Allen in a miniskirt came to mind, and Kanda opened the book again.
Smiling, Allen sat down and propped his legs onto his desk as he made another note on the essay.
Ok, so this story will be more than a one shot. I have a plot in mind, so yeah! I hope that you all enjoyed it!

This came as UK investors bought sterling following the US jobs report release, on expectations that further QE would be negative for the greenback. Sterling closed the session at 1.6220 after earlier hitting a high of 1.6251. The focus this week for traders will be Thursday's Bank of England interest rate decision.The BoE has been relatively neutral over the last few months, leaving the currency at the whim of where markets pushed it. However, there is a genuine chance that this week's meeting could see the board take a more dovish view of the economy as the tough austerity measures take hold. If this is the case, and the board looks likely to increase its stimulus measures, then sterling would quickly lose its 'relative safe haven' status and come under further downside pressure. In Asian trade, sterling was last at 1.6179 after opening the new week at 1.6152.

Mad Science Foundation Product Description
Throughout the centuries, mad scientists have always encountered the same problem of very limited access to the dangerous resources they require. To solve this problem, the Mad Science Foundation was created. Now these "misunderstood geniuses" can finally get the access they need to the four vital building blocks of mad science: Lasers, Dark Matter, Cryptomium, and Sharks.
Unfortunately, for each mad scientist who seeks "funding" from the Mad Science Foundation, there remains the unfortunate fact of life that mad scientists do not play well with others. In the quest for infamy, directors will be bribed, resources will be reallocated, spies will be dispatched, inventions will be sabotaged, and big, ominous buttons will be pressed with catastrophic results. Welcome to the Mad Science Foundation, where everyone is ready to stab you in the back with overly-elaborate backstabbing machines.
At heart, Mad Science Foundation is a drafting game. You draft resources to craft wacky inventions and dispatch minions to help with your diabolical plans. Each round, one player controls the Crooked Director for that round. They then separate the available commodities into piles to be drafted. It's up to the scientist controlling the Director to determine the value of whatever resources are available and separate them into piles. Not all piles are created equal! Players then take turns selecting which pile of goodies to grab, with the Director's controller choosing last. Sizing up your competition is key! You know what they need; don't let them have it. Or give them two choices of equal terrible-ness! But each player also has a secret side objective that you may not figure out until it's too late...
By crafting new inventions, you might be able to put together an engine of cards that eventually fuel themselves. Perpetual motion in our lifetime! Or perhaps you might stockpile valuable resources for later exploitation. It's all done with the altruistic goals of megalomania and personal glory in mind. What could go wrong?*
The Mad Science Foundation is not responsible for stock market crashes, illegal dumping, or tears in the fabric of space-time.
- Players 2-4

Pickled sheep eyeballs? Eww!
Whoa. I think I'll stick with my go-to coffee, dry toast, and a gallon of water. I think those remedies would just make me feel worse!
I'm curious as to what the sheep's eyeballs do... since it only mentioned the tomato juice being beneficial. I think I'll just stick with the coffee either way, thanks.

To be honest, when I first received an email from the author of the post you'll read today I thought I won't be able to learn anything from him. When Dan Faggella first reached out to me I saw that he was a karate instructor who built a $40K/mo business out of selling instructional videos which was miles away from my online content marketing day to day life.
Little did I know the guy is an email marketing and marketing automation machine!
|Click here for a Free Cheatsheet of Dan's Email Marketing Strategy
Dan currently runs CLVboost, a boutique email marketing consultancy helping startups, brick-and-mortars and eCommerce businesses navigate the crazy world of email marketing.
In this article you'll learn:
Without further ado here is Dan Faggella, enjoy!
Starting my first online business was more a necessity than anything else. Running a small physical martial arts gym in an 8,000-person town in Rhode Island, our roof partially caved in due to a massive snow-storm. With a flooded building and a new heap of expenses, I realized I should probably have another income stream. Enter online marketing.
With a national championship under my belt and a few seminars already filmed, I decided to teach my martial arts skills online at www.ScienceofSkill.com. Fourteen months of scrapping, boot-strapping, and learning all my lessons the hard way, I had my first $40,000 month online, and never looked back.
Though the journey wasn't easy and I tried more marketing strategies than I'd like to admit, there were three core tactics that helped me scale more than anything else – and they're by no means limited to the martial arts niche.
In this brief article, I'll dive into all three and reveal how they might apply to your online marketing efforts.
1) White-Hat Guest Posting the Right Way
When I first started, I didn't have the budget for paid traffic (Facebook advertising, etc…) and I didn't know what to do with it anyway. I also lacked an email list to work with a joint venture partner for cross promotion.
So, to gain some traction for my website, I began to guest post on other blogs. However, while that sounds easy, it's not as simple as just dropping an email to a notable blog and saying "Hi! Here are my credentials and I'd like to guest blog on your site."
Instead, I made sure I had something to bring to the table that would make my content desirable for the five or six blog sites I began targeting. In my case, I interviewed some of the top experts and Black Belts in the world of martial arts and used that unique content as the bait in my guest blog pitch. That allowed me to contact influential blogs and get articles on them quickly. Here's the template I used, which you can model for your own niche and industry quickly.
At the time I was writing for four or five websites, I was able to implement the strategy I was waiting for.
Now I could offer potential affiliates (people with big Facebook pages or email lists in my niche) a "you-scratch-my-back, I'll-scratch-yours" proposition. Even though at this time I didn't have much of an email list (the most effective and direct route for selling information products online, such as martial arts courses), I'd ask to interview them, and then let them know I'd be happy to write about them and link back to them from four or five different blogs if they were able to send a few emails to some of my email capture pages (like those I linked to above).
What I didn't do was interview random Joe Shmoe martial arts folk and promise them featured articles in online publications. These online publications want great content from respected teachers, and those are the folks I aimed to speak with and work out my affiliate arrangement with. After our interview, they'd agree to send, say, 20,000 emails to my landing pages, and in turn I'd write five articles about them on various sites in our niche. They got the win with the "SEO juice" from links and the credibility of being featured, and I got a fresh batch of subscribers who might be interested in my products.
Here's how the subscriber numbers break down, on average:
1 – Affiliate sends 20,000 emails
2 – 10% open rate means 2,000 see the message
3 – 25% click through rate means 500 people land on the page
4 – 50% conversion rate on page means 250 people opt in
5 – 5% fake email addresses means 238 actual leads
By doing all this, I managed to leverage blog authorship into a tool to encourage "big-name" affiliates to send tons of traffic to my squeeze pages, growing my list immensely. All this was done not in the traditional way of sending reciprocal emails for them, but by leveraging my reach via blogs – which helped to build my own link profile and traffic at the same time.
This simple strategy was essential in getting my email list from 500 to 10,000 in a matter of months in the martial arts niche. By linking to my own site and relevant blogs while writing about my interviewees, I was also able to get my main blog at www.Scienceofskill.com to over 10,000 unique visitors per month.
To sum up, I use blog posts like a "hose" of traffic. I start off with posts that deliver unique and valuable content and point that "hose" of traffic and attention to my own sites:
…but all those email subscribers would have been completely worthless had it not been for this next tactic.

2) Persistent Marketing Automation Email Sequences
So now, having driven traffic to squeeze pages, my goal was to turn subscribers into dollars – by educating them and presenting them with programs that might be of interest to them.
There are many software programs that allow for "auto-responder" emails, but the program I use primarily is called InfusionSoft. Other programs that can allows you to use the same strategies you'll read about here include ActiveCampaign, Ontraport, and HubSpot – with ActiveCampaign as the least expensive option.
So how many emails should I send in this "auto-responder"? In determining how to establish my email sequences, I decided to model 8-figure information marketing businesses. www.SurvivalLive.com is run by Ryan Deiss and his company Digital Marketer, and www.SilvaLifeSystem.com is run by Vishen Lakhiani's company Mindvalley. Both of these companies are grossing well over $10,000,000 per year in sales, and so I read their emails carefully and use their strategies to build my own email sequence.
To my initial surprise, these highly successful digital marketing experts weren't just sending six or eight emails, or one or two emails per month. SurvivalLife, SilvaLiveSystem, and essentially all of the other successful email marketing powerhouses were sending daily emails (sometimes more than one email per day) for a month or longer.
Vishen's emails at SilvaLifeSystem started off with three to four educational emails, linking to informative and helpful blog posts that have occasional mentions of the complete, $127.00 Silva Life System program, but didn't necessarily "push" for it. Then, emails five and six were more about the course itself, with links that weren't encouraging me to read or watch a video, but to purchase the program itself. These were followed by more educational emails (three or four of them), and then additional overt promotions.
I started calling this the "roller coaster" of education-to-promotional email sequences, and began using the same strategies for offering my martial arts products.
The key for me here was to base the presentation of my education and offers to the topics that truly mattered to my customers. I contacted my email subscribers (some by phone, others through polls / direct messages) and asked them to tell me the number one benefit they were looking for from my courses, and the number one objection they might have to purchasing right away.
Want to get serious about writing good email copy (or copy in general)? Call a dozen buyers and talk to them about what they liked about your product / sales process, what they didn't like, and what they'd like to see from you in the future. That's something I learned from Lean Startup, and it's homework that paid off tenfold in the ROI of my email copywriting.
Once I had consensus on these two factors (the number one benefit, and the number one objection), I constructed my email sequences around heightening the most important benefits first, and overcoming the most important objections.
I'd warn anyone reading this article to "take a stab" at an email sequence without truly knowing your customers and what their cares are – take the time to poll them and call them. I've written about this topic in depth, and it's important to start off on right foot, after all, these are emails that nearly all of your prospects will read… and unlike your landing page, this email sequence will be difficult to constantly split-test. So do your best to nail it on the first go without playing guessing games about what prospects care about.
I eventually extended out my "roller coaster" of educational and promotional content to be over a month of daily email messages (just like the 8-figure businesses were doing), and began consistently converting 2-5% of my online subscribers to monthly membership programs for martial arts training.
Below is an image of what a "normal" email follow-up sequence might look like:
Not to mention, by rotating through various "interest" segments (and occasionally "weight" segments and others), I'm able to send out videos and articles specifically tailored to what my individual readers care about – which helps make their experience with my company not just a "blast" of generic messaging. These relationships with real martial artists around the world is ultimately what makes our business function – and email builds relationship first, sales second.
There's really no magic formula for success in internet marketing, but the fundamentals that helped me bootstrap are likely to be tactics that you and your team could use as well. I'm interested to see how you apply these ideas, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
All the best, and happy marketing!

8 thoughts on "How I Grew My Startup to $40K per month Using Emails and Good Content"
Wow – What an unexpected great post and from a Karate instructor!
This shows some great insights on guest posting – One tactic i've used for myself is leveraging your list in return for a spot on someone elses blog. E.g. "Let me guest post and i'll also send the post to my 1000+ subscribers" (say it in a better way). I love that I now have another tactic on my list to get accepted in more places for guest posting.
Really good post!
Daniel Faggella
Thanks for the note, Andrew. These same strategies work even better in larger industries, but I'm glad the petri dish of the martial arts niche was helpful here. Best,
Christopher Brownlee
That one was sick! Nice Tactic.
Katrina McKinnon
Fantastic breakdown of a well-executed strategy.
Have already shared this with our eCommerce store students via Twitter.
I particularly like the graphic showing the sequence used by the more successful marketers. I've tried to break down their processes myself, but the sheer number of emails makes this difficult. The illustration helps to understand the difference between small-time marketing and the guys that really do it well.
Great insight on free traffic generation that leads to list building and monetization. The challenge I perceive
here is that you've got to do a lot of writing to feed the funnels especially for someone having a number websites he's working on. I say this because, easily churning out contents for my blogs, for guest posting and for the email series seem to be a duanting task.
Could you throw light on how you go about overcoming this challenge.
The strategies you shared here are really powerful.
ReJoice, thanks for your comment, I'm happy to shed some light. The beginning is "grind," and after you get to cruising level, you work hand-in-hand with 1-or-2 good freelancer writers until they can write just as well as you about topics you give them. Once you're at this level, you no longer do to blogs / blog sumissions yourself, you hire that out and you just oversee the process / quality check it. I hope that this helps! Out last 2 months have been over $65,000.00 in revenues from many of these same strategies, so I can say that it's working well for us at present.

Patch 7.2 is adding some new Hunter pets to tame including a whole new family. Falcosaurs are being added to the Raptor family. Gryphons, hippogryphs, wyvern, owlcats, and wolfhawks are being added to the new Feathermane family.
I know what you're thinking: How am I supposed to tame new pets when my stable is already full? I'm right there with you. I dislike abandoning pets, especially rare ones, but it might be necessary in this case because having gryphon pets for my dwarf is too good to pass up.

BeschreibungFrom the Journal of Political Ecology, Vol. 8Trees At Risk: Reclaiming an Urban Forest, by Evelyn Herwitz. Worcester, MA: Chandler House Press, Inc (2001), iv, 200 pp.Reviewed by Brent Evans and Carolyn Chipman Evans, Cibolo Nature Center, Boerne, TXEvelyn Herwitz has contributed a major historical work with a strong environmental message in Trees At Risk: Reclaiming an Urban Forest. The City of Worcester, MA serves as the focal point for this evolving story of grassroots negligence and activism. The author is adept at uncovering the societal and industrial forces that carved a city out of the wilderness, and sometimes molded a little of the wilderness back into the city.An ambitious work, the book is a 200-page treasure with 16 pages of color photos, and numerous illustrations throughout. Nature lovers will also appreciate the occasional botanical information and illustrations of native trees.Trees At Risk is both a hopeful blueprint and a cautionary tale of what cities can do to protect and promote their urban forests, and what can happen if they do not. Ms. Herwitz is a skilled historian, but also a masterful wordsmith. For example: On a chill December afternoon when the hardwoods stand barren, their fallen leaves but sodden dregs of autumn's gold, Worcester's hues are clay and stone. Viewed from Mount St. James, once home to native Nipmucs, now to the College of the Holy Cross, the muted city melds with the dun-colored woodlands of surrounding hills - its red-brick factory buildings and cement offices crowding the valley floor, a glass-and-steel bank tower mirroring winter's slate sky, white and frown and beige three-deckers climbing rocky hillsides, the charcoal-gray swath of I-290snaking over streets.Come spring, though, there is green. First, a fine misting of chartreuse as the weeping willows unfurl their buds, then a wash of emerald as the sugar and Norway maples, the ashes, oaks and ginkgoes spread their leaves, until Worcester's swarthy face i

He's set to become a free agent at the conclusion of this season, and Steelers receiver Mike Wallace is coming to the realization that he may be wearing a diffrent uniform next season. If so, he already played his last game as a Steeler. He's out Sunday with a hamstring issue. "I definitely don't want to go out like that," he said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I really want to end on a high note. I've got big plans no matter the situation. I have big plans for myself and my family. Hopefully everything will go in a positive manner." Wallace was famously caught up in a high drama contract dispute, holding out for the majority of training camp and reporting on August 28th. Now the question is, do the Steelers think he is worth holding onto? They could apply the franchise tag on him, but it will cost them more than $10 million. Wallace this season had 64 receptions for 836 yards with 8 TDs. "It's the team I've been on my whole career," said Wallace. "I don't know anything else, so I love playing here." "Obviously this season didn't go where I wanted it to go. I'm happy with the start of my career, and I feel like I'm on the path to doing some great things." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Foods Matter – When I wrote this recipe we had had nothing but rain for three weeks – I hope that by the time you read it you will be able to barbecue the ham in the garden!
1 lb 10 oz piece of ham
2 level tsp cumin
grated peel and juice 3 large limes
3 tbsp maple syrup
vegetables and fruit for the kebab sticks – we used red and yellow peppers, zucchini and fresh pineapple but feel free to use whatever you prefer, or what suits your diet
Cut the ham into bite-size cubes.
Mix the cumin with the lime peel and juice and the maple syrup in a bowl just big enough to take the ham.
Add the ham, mix well, cover and leave to marinate for 24 hours, turning every now and then so all the ham gets bathed in the marinade.
Cut up the vegetables and fruit that you are using and string them onto kebab sticks with the ham pieces.
Cook on a barbecue or under a grill basting with the remaining marinade.

Jessica ...
I'm with Thea on this on, I always used American BC. I switched from American to SMBC and loving it. My biggest issue with American was sometimes when handling I would get a fold or bump in the cake where the cake and icing settled underneath the fondant and it changed shape. Didn't always happen but when it did it was enough to ruin a good looking cake (at least to me). I know there are plenty of people that use it with no problems underneath their fondant. I am not one of those people, I can do it but not get the sharp edges I get with SMBC.
Cooking egg whites to 140F (60C) should be just fine. Salmonella starts dying off about 131F (55C) but I have taken it as high as 160F. Just make sure to properly store your icing and cakes!

Ayira's Unusuals: Jamie
"It was during a terrible storm:
"Bring them in, quickly!" Shane called as he opened the stairwell door. "If we don't call for Him fast, they might not make it!"
"Wait!" Jamie called. "Where are you taking them? Shane, I can help you!"
Shane turned to face the young adult in front of him, his face showing pity. "You'll have to leave them in the hands of Iejovah for now. I promise you that they'll be alright."
"Wait, please!" Jamie called again as the agents carried Dallas and Joel into a room which, he was told, he was not yet permitted to enter.
This was an outrage! They couldn't just tell him to "leave it" like that! All-powerful or no, Iejovah could be extremely unfair sometimes!
"Shane?" "Shane, what's up!" Jamie turned at the sound of voices.
A guy who was taller then him, but kind of skinny, came bolting around the corner. "Shane?" he called.
"Oh, you know Shane, too?" Jamie asked, and pointed to the door which had just been shut in his face. "He's in there taking care of my friends. He wouldn't let me come."
"Must've had a good reason." the guy remarked. "Are you really close to these friends?"
"Of course!"
"Then that's why. I'm Dan," the guy held out his hand. "but who are you?"
"Jamie's my name." Jamie replied, quickly shaking Dan's hand. "I was trying to convince Shane to let myself and my two friends join up here, when there was an attack. Dallas and Joel got the worst of it." he added.
"Dan? Why'd you run off like that?" three girls, one older then the other two, appeared and began to bombard Dan with questions.
"Alright, alright, alright, calm down!" Dan exclaimed. "There's been a situation, and now we have to wait until we get further instructions. Give us some room, will you?"
The two younger girls obediently stepped back, while the older girl whispered something in Dan's ear.
"Kelly, are you sure?" Dan murmured.
The older girl, obviously called Kelly, nodded and turned to Jamie and said, "I doubt you'll be interns."
"Excuse her straightforwardness." One of the younger girls added. "But if she wasn't sure, she wouldn't say it."
A few days later, Jamie was introducing Dallas and Joel to the rest of the group.
"Joel has the gift of faith-fighting, I myself like to call him the warrior of us three." he explained. "Dallas is unsure of his gift, but the moment I saw him I knew that Iejovah was very close to him."
"But what's your gift?" a curious Maria piped up.
"My gift is that of the apostolos." Jamie smiled mysteriously.
"His gift is being an Apostle." Kelly rephrased with a sidelong glance at Jamie. "He learns things from Iejovah, and his job is to teach or tell it to others."
"Somewhat." Jamie nodded. "I'm only called an Apostle because it's the best fitting name. It's similar to Prophecy in the sense that it's from Iejovah himself, but it's not a glimpse or vision of something to come, or a warning. Apostles are of a different spirit altogether."
"So can you translate things that Iejovah tells people?" Maria asked.
"Sometimes, if that's what the message is."
Maria and Esther whispered to eachother for a few minutes, then nodded their head in assent.
"Welcome to the family." Dan rolled his eyes. "You'll have to get used to that."

Grilled Watermelon Salad
I saw this recipe on a blog and I was intrigued by it. I bookmarked it and one night, came back to it. I am not a huge watermelon fan, but this summer so far, they have been fairly inexpensive at the grocery store and my kids have been devouring it, so I keep buying it. However, I am completely open to trying new things with watermelon and grilling it intrigued me.
I want you to know that I debated posting this--I can't honestly say that I loved it. However, I am still intrigued enough by it to try it again, only differently. I wasn't going to post it, but then I kept seeing variations on several blogs, so I figured I would jump on this bandwagon. I will share with you how I did it, so that the "recipe" matches the photo, but I will tell you that next time I will completely omit the salt and instead lightly drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the grilled fruit. I might even use a sweeter cheese like soft goat cheese instead of the tangy feta. I'm still in favor of the mint, seeing as I have a whole pot of it in my little herb garden on my deck. (By the way, how many of you out there salt your watermelon or cantaloupe? My dear little late grandma did it all the time at the lake when I was a kid--it is something that I've never really caught onto, but I love the memory it brings of my grandma just the same!).
Here's a challenge: when you make this, either as is or tweaked and adapted, leave a comment telling the rest of us what you did, how you liked it, and how you might change it up the next go-around. Thanks! :)
Grilled Watermelon Salad
Source: Giusto Gusto
{there are no real measurements here....just eyeball it according to your preference}
several slices of watermelon, rinds removed, cut into triangles
olive oil
feta cheese
fresh mint leaves, cut chiffonade-style
salt, optional (I would omit)
Heat the grill over high heat. Let the grill get nice and hot. Place watermelon slices on hot grill and let it get a good sear before turning. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Turn once, and grill a couple more minutes, until you have nice dark grill marks on the fruit. Remove to a serving platter with a rim (the melon is going to release a lot of juice).
Once on the serving platter, top with salt, feta, and mint leaves. The fruit will release its juices, and pooling on the platter. It will almost take on a balsamic-like flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TITLE : O'Neill and O'Neil
AUTHOR: Blue Topaz, email@example.com
CATEGORY: Humor.
SUMMARY: There is another Colonel O'Neil in the Air Force, with one 'L', and he had no sense of humor. Meet the man. Set after Season 5, 'Fail Safe', but only minor spoiler for that episode.
PAIRING: none
SPOILERS: minor 'Fail Safe'

Copyright by Blue Topaz, 2002
Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter were in Washington DC., attending another medal ceremony as a 'thank you' gesture from the US government once again, this time was for riding the asteroid through the Earth. Mind you, if they did not do just that, it would hit our beloved blue planet and have perished all the life on the face of this planet. So, Earth was once again a safe place to live, which was why Major Carter raised her eyebrow when they accidentally run to this man. The Colonel acted like there was a danger, which was worth his interest, and that, alone, spoke volume.
"Colonel." there was air of hostility in Colonel O'Neill's voice.
"Colonel." the man answered in similar fashion.
The Major knew straight away that they had issues. She should have leaved it alone, but her curiosity was piqued and she found it actually more interesting than the newest alien object that lay on her lab's desk. Only Kinsey and Apophis were worthy of this special 'attention' from her CO.
"Sir?" she tilted her head to face her CO, demanding an explanation.
He slowly turned his head around and gave her a look of death, he did not want this encounter to last any longer, but his 2IC's question meant that he had to endure this a little much longer. She presented him with the best blank expression that she could have mustered, "Colonel?" she repeated the demand.
"Major, this is Colonel Jack O'Neil, with one L," he lift his index finger to emphasised his point, "Colonel, this is Major Carter, my *current* second."
Sam mentally winced at that, she knew that she deserve it, but there was not way he could get rid of her, not even he wanted too. But then, he could always demote her position in the team and made Teal'c his second ... nah, it was to far fetch. So, this is the famous O'Neil with no sense of humor, huh? He *did* look like he was so stern, by-the-book kind of officer. So different compared to her Colonel, who could not help but throwing sarcastic remarks on every opportunity that he got.
"Colonel." She nodded in recognition of the man.
"Major." He also nodded briefly.
And then everything went awkward. Feeling responsible for this situation, she asked a simple question like a normal person would do, "So, Colonel, how do the two of you know each other?" she addressed the question to O'Neil.
Two Colonels shot angry glares towards her, but it was nothing that she could not handle. They must have had bad blood between them, but it was good to know that the two men were actually at her mercy. They had to act civil towards each other in the presence of a third party, it was a common practice everywhere. She still kept her blank look, as if she did not have a clue whatsoever. Sipping her drink, she batted her eyelids to the two men.
"It was a case of mistaken identity." Her CO answered in a warning tone to indicate that he did not want to go further into details.
But she was no stranger to threat as she faced it in daily basis, "Really? What happened?"
It took all her strength not to smirk in satisfaction at the look that she was given.
Jack caught a glimpse of his CO, "Ah, there's General Hammond. If you two would excuse me, I have got something to talk to him about. I believe that the Colonel here would love to do the honour of telling you the story." He did not wait for the replies, he *so* did not want to talk about how they know each other. It wasn't a story that he would want to share with anyone. He walked briskly in Hammond's direction, not wanting even for a second to slow down. Let O'Neil dealt with the Major, she gave him enough headache for the last 5 years. He deserved the break.
Coward, Sam muttered inside her brain while her face was still impassive. O'Neil had had an expression of utter disbelieve written all over his face at Jack's behaviour, his mouth hung open for a few second before he finally recovered, "I'm sorry Major, but it is not a story that I would like to remember."
She wanted to press her luck, but she didn't actually know the Colonel. So she let the matter go ... for now. Her own Colonel would not be shown the same compassion as this one, she had to know the story. "No sweat."
And then no one said anything, she sipped her drink once again. He just stood there, in a perfect soldier position, straight back, arms on his side, crisp dress blue. This man needed to loosen up a bit, she thought as she took a good look at him. He had brown hair and equally brown eyes like the Colonel, but he was a couple inch shorter - still taller than her though. He was good looking, she had to admit, but boring as Hell. Apparently, the Colonel was not joking when he described his 'counterpart'.
"So, where do you stationed?" she asked.
"Really? What project?"
"Development of military transportation."
A scientist? No wonder there was an extra edge on the way the Colonel treated him.
"What about you?"
"Ahh, I'm in deep space radar telemetry."
"Oh. In Colorado Springs?"
And then the conversation ended up there. To overcome her discomfort, she traced the outer line of the punch glass that she was holding. The Colonel was a dead man when she could get her hands on him, he obviously knew that this guy was not a talker, and he left her alone with him. What happened to 'no one got left behind'?
O'Neil tried to break the silence, "Do you have something planned tonight?"
She was taken aback by his question. She had no plan, but she was a bit cautioned on what her answer would lead to. So, for the sake of convenience, she chose to lie.
"As a matter of fact, I do have a plan."
If he was disappointed, he hid it so well.
"Oh ... Okay."
He started to crawl under her skin. Colonel O'Neill wouldn't just be dead when this was over, there would be blood, there would be guts flying around, there would be pain, lots of pain. Of course those were just exaggerated mental pictures.
"Are you planning to visit DC again soon?"
Oh yeah, Colonel O'Neill would need reanimation after she finished with him.
She smiled apologetically, although obviously she was not feeling sorry, "I don't think so. Now, if you would excuse me, I need to find the Colonel."
Not wanting to wait for the reply, she turned around and made her getaway.
Jack was hovering around the refreshment table when someone called him, "Colonel." the tone was low and dangerous, and Jack knew the owner. He couldn't help but grin.
"Yes?" he turned around and was greeted by a murderous glare, which made him grin even more.
"Why did you do that for?" she hissed. There were no one else around them, therefore it was safe for her to use the tone.
"Did what?" he shrugged his shoulder and picked up a biscuit from the table.
"Leave me behind with *him*," her fingers were itched to point at O'Neil direction in an unladylike fashion. It was amazing how she grew more comfortable around him to actually think about such thing on the first place, but she actually enjoyed it. They established themselves more like a friends rather than comrades.
"I though you want to hear the story?" he took a bite off the biscuit.
"And did you honestly believe that he would tell me the story?" she snorted.
He finished digesting the crumbs on his mouth before he answered, "Of course not. But I though you could always use your charm to make him do it."
"What?" she asked incredulously.
"I have a full confidence in your ability." He munched the rest of the biscuit.
She rolled her eyes, "Oh ... sure you do, he *did* asked me out."
Jack merely raised his eyebrow, "He did? So, you said 'yes'?" his blood was racing with anger, his alpha-male ego was stirred, but years of practice equipped him with a perfect facade.
She looked at him in what that can only be called annoyance, "Of course I said yes. I'll be glad to spend a night with a guy whom, may I say borrowing your own word, have no sense of humour? Yeah right, in your dream, flyboy."
He couldn't help but grin, "But Carter, imagine this, Sam Carter and Jack O'Neil on a date. The General would have a heart attack if he ever heard about that."
She gave him an exhausted look, "You know, Sir. The way you say it almost makes me think that you want me to go out with him."
"No, no, no. Don't get me wrong Carter. It's just that the idea was quite amusing."
"Sure it does. Come on, mock me all you like. I'll just go over there and say 'yes' to him." she muttered, put her glass on the table and turned around to leave her CO behind. Sometimes, she just needed to take the most drastic measure available to make him react. And react he did. He caught her arm, effectively stopping her from leaving.
She turned around and faced him, "Colonel? Is there something that you want to say?"
His face gave nothing away, he had to say something - preferably sarcastic, but anything would do for now - so he opened his mouth, "Ah ... do you want to hear the story?" so much for sarcasm there.
There was a smug look on her face, "Since you are offering, I'd love to."
That was when he realised, his eyebrows were drawn closer, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Her eyelashes were once more fluttered, "I don't know what you're talking about, " and then just purely for the effect, she added, "Sir."
His eyes were narrowed, "Come on Major, you've got me. You might as well be honest and do the gloating routine. It's nothing that I can't handle."
"Oh, I don't know Sir. Taking pride on your expense is not really my style."
He quipped, "I wonder since when."
"A, a, a. You cannot bait me with that Sir. I want the story, please. I can do the gloating later on if you insist." She smiled sweetly, expecting her reward for being so dubious.
He sighed, "Okay, but I must warn you that I would not tolerate such deception next time."
"Whatever you say, Sir. Can I have the story now?"
"Major, you can not ..."
"The story, Sir?"
"Major, it's highly ..."
"You promised."
"What's gotten into you?"
"Then why ..."
"Sir, you know that there is no way I'm going to let this go."
"I could order you."
"Try me."
"Okay ... okay. Jeez, I'll tell you."
She grinned in victory, "So ... tell."
He backed away a bit, praying that the President would arrive soon and therefore saving him from her. Or maybe his little buddy Thor would beam him up to save their grey alien butts once again, he would even go so 'low' as expecting the Tok'ra to showed up on the base. He waited for two seconds, but nothing happened, his Major was still standing there with expectation, where were all the bad timing interruptions when he needed them?
"Sir?" she pressed.
He relented, "Okay, okay. We were on the same base when we were both Captains."
"Well, naturally ... when I knew that there was a guy with the same name, same rank as mine, I did a little digging."
He shifted uncomfortably, "And I use it to my advantage."
"What kind of advantage?"
He searched his brain on how to break the information to her gently, "You know ... pursuing my interest."
She didn't buy it. "What would this interest be?"
"Uhm ... making 'new friends'?"
"What kind of friends?"
He had absolutely no idea on how this story-telling had turned into an interrogation, "Err ... female attractive kind of friend?"
She was grinning, "Wow Colonel, I never though that you were so insecure about yourself."
He was dumb folded, "Insecure? Why would I be insecure?"
The Major frowned, "Weren't you using his attributes to ... make friends?" she added with a little smile.
"Oh, no, no. Nothing like that."
"What then?"
"Well ... I kind of used him as my scapegoat."
"Yeah, if my new ... friend was getting too serious with our ... friendship, while I just still want to be in not so serious friendship stage, I gave this particular friend his phone number." He fumbled a bit with his speech.
She was giggling at this point, "You sure know how to break a wo ... friend's heart, Sir."
He was relief to see that she found the whole thing hilarious, and then he found himself laughing at the memory as well, "God, I missed the old time. I had so much fun back then."
"Are you saying you don't have enough fun with us, Sir?" she teased him.
"Well, you have to admit Carter, it's a different kind of fun." He looked at her, making her blushed, fully aware of what his idea of 'fun' was.
She cleared her throat, "Still Sir, you haven't told me when the two of you first meet."
"Ah ... you know, it was a bit complicated."
"I'm the mistress of complicated, Sir."
He looked at her from the top to the bottom, and then he muttered, "Oh yeah, how can I forget that."
Knowing him quite well, she took it as a compliment, "So."
If she was frustrated, she never showed it, "How the two of you meet?"
"Oh, that?"
"Yes, that."
"Uhm ... we met in General Riley's office."
"General Owen Riley?"
"And what?"
Her brain worked like it never worked before, "Okay, wrong question. Why were you two in the General's office in the first place?"
"He called us."
"Any reason why?"
"Uh ... a little problem with his daughter."
"Care to elaborate the tale, Sir?"
"No." He said a little bit too quick. He told the story, granted it was not the whole thing, but it was enough to fulfil his promised.
"Oh, alright. I'll just ask her next time I see her then." She just shrugged her shoulder, knowing quite well that she could not get anything more from him.
"Huh? Who's 'her'?" he was having a sinking feeling.
"Annie Riley, the General's only daughter of course." Just her luck that she knew her, she would get the information from Annie later on.
"You know her?"
"Of course I do. The General was one of Dad's friend, I know Annie quite well."
"Err ... Carter."
"Yes, Sir?"
He searched her face, praying to every God that he had known - false and real - that she was joking. But he knew her so well that he wished he didn't now. She knew Annie, the knowledge was quite disturbing - very close to frightening.
An Airman approached them. "Colonel, Major," he said, breaking the Colonel's scrutinised gaze from the Major.
"Yes?" the Colonel was momentarily distracted.
"The President has arrived. Please prepare yourself for the ceremony," the Airman said.
"Yes, of course." The Major answered him, "Let's go Sir. Wouldn't want to keep the President waiting now, would we?" as soon as the words came out from her mouth, she gave him one of that smile.
The smile that he had only one word to describe it: evil.

Suggested Program Level: Brownie
Create your own lava lamp with a few simple materials and a little bit of science.
Supplies (1 set for each girl):- water- vegetable oil- antacid tablets- clear plastic bottle- food coloring- funnel (optional)
1. Let the girls fill their bottles until they are about one quarter full. Depending on your work area, a funnel might be useful to prevent spills.
2. Help the girls pour vegetable oil into the bottle until it is almost full.
3. Ask the girls to watch what happens as the oil and water separate.
4. Once the oil and water have separated, let the girls add about a dozen drops of food coloring. The girls can watch how the food coloring drops through the oil and mixes with the water.
5. Show the girls how to break an antacid tablet into five or six pieces and add them to the bottle. They can put the cap on their bottles and watch what happens.
6. When they want to lava lamp to move again, they will just need to add another antacid tablet.
Why?Oil has a lower density than water, and food coloring is primarily water. When the food coloring was put on the oil, the food coloring sank to the level with the water because they had similar densities. When you drop the antacid tablet into the bottle, they sink to the bottom because they are heavier than the oil and the water. As the tablet interacts with the water, tiny carbon dioxide bubbles form. Those bubbles rise to the top of the bottle to escape into the atmosphere, and as they rise, they take some of the colored water with them. When the carbon dioxide escapes, the water sinks back to the bottom of the bottle.

Why is this "Xtreme" rallying? Anything related to moving fast is getting spruced up as an "extreme sports" title. But this has no stunts. Instead, it's just a perfectly decent rally title. Across 24 stages, set in Britain, the US, the Arctic and on safari, this game equips itself perfectly well as a simple rally-racer. There are game modes to suit everyone. The graphics manage both good visibility and detail. And the cars handle well - as long as you're doing it for the thrills, and not perfect driving simulation.
World War III: Black Gold
A case of art imitating life? According to the eerily prescient plot of this very real, real-time strategy game, America has decided to seize oil reserves in order to stall total economic collapse. In response Opec countries call a jihad, and Russia becomes embroiled too. You can play as US, Russian or Iraqi forces. The Americans have advanced technology, but need transport support. The Russians have a large army, but only basic repair capabilities. And the Iraqis balance poor technology with masses of troops, suicide bombers and excellent camouflage capabilities. With increasingly complex missions, slick graphics and well-balanced if difficult play, this is a winner - albeit one with dubious taste in timing.

Benefits Of Utilizing Moisturizer And Methods For Healthy Skin (In Summer Or Otherwise)
If you would like glowing skin, you'll want to make a nutritious diet a priority. Healthy skin is nothing but reflection of nutritious diet and stress-free life. This is primarily achieved when you eat the best food, and avoiding the use of harsh chemicals such as sulfur. Rarely do you need to find a treatment that is effective to get a multitude of skin-types.
Choose makeup that doesn't clog your pores. You should also avoid astringents unless your skin layer is very oily. A good moisturizer may prevent the skin from drying out and keeping it hydrated and supple.
For the smoothest skin possible, exfoliate the neck and chest area two to three times a week. Factors that include a healthy diet, right amount of exercise, good skincare practices, a good outlook, and a relaxed mind. .
