Cayden: So HotMature
At some point we moved into the back room. I guess Brent must have choked the idea out to maintain at least a shred of dignity. Can you blame him? But still, the sheer anticipation left each of my nerve endings tingling. I was about to have a threesome with my gorgeous boyfriend and straight as a board best friend. Fuck yes.
I stood palming myself through my jeans as I watched Maxxie and Brent. Maxxie had shoved Brent down onto the sofa in the back room and straddled him, kissing him like his life depended on it. At first Brent had been reluctant to react but soon enough he loosened up and started kissing back. Maxxie started grinding his hips into Brent's, eliciting a deep moan from Brent. I bit my lip to keep back my own moan. The way things were going the bulge in my pants would need more attention than my hand and soon.
I cleared my throat as things between Brent and Maxxie started getting a little heated. Sure all's fair game in this but c'mon, Maxxie's my boyfriend. Maxxie eyed me and gave Brent one final kiss before standing up and making his way over to me. This was the first time I'd seen him being dominant and fuck, was I enjoying it. He replaced the hand on my crotch with his own, kissing along my neck in exactly the right spots. Something told me Maxxie was gonna be the one paying attention to people in this.
A moan from Brent made the two of us look over to see him fumbling with the button on his jeans. Well he's suddenly eager, isn't he?
Maxxie sauntered over to Brent, pulling me along with him. Brent's jeans were undone and off within in seconds, showcasing the tent his boxers had formed. He groaned as Maxxie straddled him again and set to work on the buttons of his shirt. The shirt came off without any form of protest from Brent who had been so set against this just a few minutes ago. He attached his mouth to Brent's again and they stayed like that for what seemed like hours. Fuck, we should've gone for a foursome; I've got nothing to do.
Jealous of all the attention Brent was getting from Maxxie, I gently tugged Maxxie off Brent's lap only to replace him with myself. A look of fear flashed through Brent's now open eyes since he knew exactly what I was capable of but he relaxed into it again when I nibbled at his collarbone and slowly made my way up to his mouth. In an instant Maxxie was at my neck, kissing and biting at the skin. I moaned into Brent's mouth which he seemed to enjoy since he bucked his hips up into mine. We stayed like that for an age, Maxxie sucking on my neck and me pinning Brent down whenever he tried to move until Maxxie needed some attention paying to him. He tugged on my shirt and I pulled away from Brent, pecking him on the lips before turning to Maxxie. Ignoring his attempts to kiss me, I pulled off his shirt and trousers, planting a soft kiss just above the waistband f his boxers.
"I think we all need to be naked" Maxxie murmured.
I couldn't agree more and evidently neither could Brent. Within moments the three of us stood naked, clothes strewn around the room covering almost every inch of the floor. I grinned at Maxxie, awaiting instruction since he seemed to be in charge of the whole thing. I glanced at Brent, who stood with his head down and staring at his feet. I turned to face him and hooked a finger under his chin, gently pulling his face up to look me in the eye before kissing him. Maxxie's hands snaked around my waist and headed down to my crotch. I hummed as Maxxie started jerking me off, making Brent moan again. I bit down on his bottom lip before turning and giving Maxxie the same treatment.
I pulled away for a second when Brent moaned again. "How are we doing this, Maxxie?"
"Why're you asking me?" he asked breathlessly, desperately trying to reattach himself to my lips.
"Cause it's all up to you, dollface" I grinned.
"Fuck me" he practically growled before bringing his lips back to mine fiercely.
Well that's all fine and dandy but what about Brent? We couldn't have him being left out and something told me he wouldn't quite be up for sucking some stranger's dick. I couldn't say the odds were much better for him to suck me off but if the booze had started taking effect then he'd certainly let his best friend fuck him. I kissed Maxxie once more and turned my attention back to Brent, ignoring the annoyed groan that came from Maxxie. I pecked Brent on the lips before holding up two fingers.
"Get them nice and wet, Brenny Baby" I said softly and Brent started sucking on them, coating them in his spit. Fuck, that guy would give great head.
"This'll hurt a bit but I promise it'll get so much better" I whispered as I slipped a finger inside him. What? He's my best friend and it was the first time he'd done anything like this, of course I was gonna prepare him for it.
He sucked in a breath but shivered as I started ghosting kisses over every available inch of skin. I made sure he was entirely focused on the kisses drifting over his skin before adding another finger and stretching him a little.
"Fuck" he gasped out, clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation.
"Ssh, just wait. I swear it'll feel so good" I whispered, kissing along his jaw.
I spat on my palm a couple times and coated my member before taking the plunge and pushing into Brent. He cried out a little and clenched his eyes shut but I kept whispering soothing words into his ear and trailing kisses up and down wherever I could reach. He let out a shaky breath and nodded a little when he was ready. I set up a steady rhythm, not too fast since it was his first time but not too slow, and smiled at the string of profanities that fell from Brent's mouth. Man, if I'd known he was this vocal when it came to sex. I looked over at Maxxie as a set of moans joined Brent's swearing and saw him jerking himself off in time with me. Brent was already a trembling mess beneath me. Fuck, of course he wasn't gonna last long, this was his first time. I bit my lip as I felt him tighten around me; he wasn't going to last much longer. I snaked my hand down to deal with his boner and give him the release he desperately needed but found him already taking care of himself. I bit down on his shoulder and with one final burst of moans and profanities he was done.
I pulled out and looked at my gorgeous boyfriend, biting on his lower lip. I beckoned for him to come over and gave him the same treatment as Brent except this time it was me that desperately needed to come. Maxxie moaned with each thrust and sucked in a breath as Brent's mouth closed around his dick. Oh I see, the sexy British guy gets head but the Aussie has to do all the work. I bit my lip as I felt myself getting close. Fuck, I didn't want this to be over yet. But all good things have to come to an end, right? I sucked on his neck, determined to leave another love bite and with a shuddering moan emptied my load into him. Just seconds after Maxxie shuddered one final time and came in Brent's mouth. Whether he spat or swallowed I don't know because frankly all I cared about was snuggling up to my boyfriend and falling asleep.

Farrah Fawcett was a legend – the beautiful blonde from Texas who inspired teenage boys worldwide to discover their sexuality. Who can ever forget that poster of Farrah in the red swimsuit? She was every young man's dream girl.
Farrah was an interesting, kind and thoughtful person, and a terrific actress as well – proven over and over in her many powerful performances, for which she received numerous Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.
I met Farrah way back on the party circuit – she was always fun. But it wasn't until she starred in the movie I produced of my book Hollywood Wives: The New Generation that I got to know her. We were on location for six weeks in Calgary, and it was below freezing. In spite of the skimpy costumes Farrah wore, she never complained. Many a night we worked until 4am, and Farrah was always the cheerleader, working tirelessly to put on the screen her incandescent talent. Nobody dared complain when Farrah was around. The crew was entranced. They loved her enthusiasm and bubbly personality, that she remembered everyone's name. Farrah was a star, but she was also the girl next door with a big heart.
If Farrah hadn't been an actress, she could have been an artist or designer. She was a brilliant painter, full of avant-garde ideas. She was into creating and making things happen. She was curious about everyone and everything.
One of my favourite memories of Farrah is the bracelets she presented me with at the end of the shoot. They were black rubber affixed with diamond crosses – she'd designed and made them herself.
Farrah was a great mum, a thoughtful friend and a shining light to everyone who came into contact with her. I was lucky to have known Farrah. She was truly a class act.★

I ended up being anything but a cucumber.
When I got to the studio I was surprised to see Sutton dressed in a grey t-shirt and shorts, chatting with Talgus.
"Is it casual Friday or something?" I asked, throwing my bag down in its usual place, "I missed the email."
Raphael looked at me with skepticism.
"Would it have changed the way you usually dress?"
"Hey, I can't exactly wear couture when I'm dancing-"
Gus cut me off.
"-Play nice you two." he warned, "This is a professional institution, you hear?"
"Of course, Gus." Sutton assured, "It's all in good humour."
Since when did he call Talgus 'Gus'? And why hadn't I heard about it?
My old coach waved and headed out of the room, leaving me to my annoyance.
"To answer your question," Raphael offered, "I can't dance in couture either."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, confused.
"You want to be the leading lady, don't you?" he asked, "Well, that means that you'll need to learn the parts that involve a partner. As much as I respect Gus I didn't think he would make the greatest stand-in."
My mind was racing. I...was going to have to dance with him? I hadn't mentally prepared myself for this.
"Shouldn't we keep working on the solos?" I asked, chewing on my lower lip.
"I want you to have a basic understanding of the entire routine, so that I can have you run through it and see what needs work."
I couldn't find any fault in his logic. I swallowed hard. My stomach lurched.
"Okay. Where do we start?"
My brain was going into overdrive. Not only was I trying to place my feet, keep my posture, hands here, no not there, and listening to what Sutton was criticizing me on, but I felt as if I'd gone and chugged a gallon of coffee.
My limbs were buzzing and my face had likely taken on the colour of a flamingo.
Step, pirouette, slide...I lost my train of thought as I felt Raphael take my hand and twirl me around, pulling me neatly to him.
"Straighten up." he commanded, touching the small of my back and brushing exposed skin.
There was an overpowering buzzing in my chest, and I could swear he scorched me whenever we made contact.
It was the pressure. Going toe-to-toe with a legend wasn't easy. Yes, that was it.
Sutton stopped and sighed.
"You're being sloppy." he said pointedly, "And even sloppier than you usually are."
It was too hard for me to think up a witty reply.
"I'm sorry."
He looked at me strangely and his eyes softened for a millionth of a second.
"Relax." he advised, putting a hand on my shoulder, "I'm here to help you."

Day 14 on the Dawn Wall
The weather in the Valley this morning was overcast with cooler temps and some wind. As a climber on the Dawn Wall, these are dream conditions. And they happened to roll in just in time. I imagine Kevin felt today needed to be the day that 15 went down. According to Tommy, Kevin showed pitch 15 what was up firing it off second try. This was huge!!!
Kevin quickly moved up to pitch 16 to start working it out. Pitch 16 has 2 holds that happen to be 8 feet apart from each other. In order for Kevin to get from one hold to the next he just leaps. No big deal (read sarcasm). Kevin is amazing at dynamic moves like this, and can usually stick it quite consistently. The tricky part is that he needs to complete the dyno, catch his breath, and then climb a 5.14 technical corner (where Tommy's loop around pitch met up). If he slips on the technical part, he has to go back down and start all over again...with the dyno. w! The combination of these things makes this pitch hard. He gave it a few more full hearted efforts this evening, and will hopefully send the beast tomorrow! It's going to be another battle to finish off 16, but nothing Kevin can't do!!! Let's go Kev! Tomorrow is the day 16 goes down!!!

"I want to win a state championship," Monroe said after leading Gretna (La.) Cox to its 15th win of the year. "It's only our second year of existence so we're trying to get our school on the map and get some recognition around the state."
Recognition, through his first two years of high school, hasn't been an issues for the 6-foot-9 power forward. From the sounds of it, plenty of suitors have been through the gym already this year making the rounds.
After an intense game, Monroe indicated Duke's Coach K, LSU's John Brady, Kansas' Bill Self, Texas coach Rick Barnes and USC's Tim Floyd have been by. Monroe added that Louisville and Kentucky have sent assistants and surely other have been through.
The nation's top-ranked player deflected any speculation about the Tigers and Blue Devils. "Right now I'm wide open," Monroe said. "I'm considering a lot of schools at this point but I'm holding off my decision in the season. After the season I'll cut it down."
Meanwhile programs are jockeying for position on his list. Scattered about the gym Monday night were assistants from Duke, Louisville, North Carolina and USC. The Tar Heels have not been mentioned prominently by Monroe while USC's Gib Arnold had the best seat for branding: right behind the Cox bench.
On the court, Monroe's team staved off a charge from a charged up group of Floridians. He finished with 21 and 9 rebounds. Cox tries to take advantage of Monroe's versatility by playing him in the high post so he can get catches and create.
"By people focusing a lot on me it allows me to get my teammates easy shots."
That's not to say the big fella doesn't get frustrated. Most high school kids his size experience the star treatment and that means a contingent of gnat-like guards swatting away at him on every possession. It can get maddening for a lot of bigs but Monroe handles it without obvious frustration.
"Most games we play its 3 people and maybe 4 trying. My coach gets our guys to back cut and get easy lay-ups because so much attention is on me.
"Every night you have to come out and play as hard as you can now; the colleges are on your back."
And so is one second-year team from Gretna, La.

1. Intro: What is an ideology? A false belief held out of self-interest. Examples: False beliefs in inferiority of African Americans; that expanding slavery Westward is good for whole country, not just for plantations; that U.S. is taking California and New Mexico in order to win the war with Mexico.
8. Which side was which in the Civil War?: a preview of the Civil War: America's second revolution
7. How did American politics change? There's a new party alignment, and the moves toward a showdown, both over slavery. Republicans become "free soil" party. African Americans pay close attention to election. Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision in 1857 rejects that Scott became free when his master took him out of the South. John Brown raids Harpers Ferry to seize arms and liberate slaves in Virginia. Defeated by U.S. Marines under Robert E. Lee. Brown was hung, but "John Brown's Body" became the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
6. How did the compromise of 1850 change things? The compromise preserves Union, but at great cost to escaped slaves: After Gold Rush of 1849, California and New Mexico and Utah are admitted as territories without slavery being banned there. New Fugitive Slave Law passed to fight Underground Railroad. It inflames anti-slavery feeling, making something far away a more immediate issue for many whites. Conflict becomes increasingly violent in Kansas-Nebraska, where John Brown, a white New Englander, fought against slavery.
5. Why did Western expansion lead to Civil War? Northerners and Southerners agree on Western expansion, but for different reasons: The North for industrial capitalism, the South to expand slavery and plantations. Texas fights for independence from Mexico, and U.S. annexes Texas in 1845. James Polk uses war as excuse to take what becomes California and New Mexico. Discovery of gold feeds rush Westward. But debate intensified over whether slavery should extend there.
4. Why did abolitionists not catch on universally with Northern workers opposed to slavery? And why did they frighten slaveowners? Garrison leads white abolitionists, while David Walker, son of slave father, issues call to action among slaves rather than appeal to slave-owners; slaveowners counter with their own propaganda, a terror campaign against Southern free blacks. Crackdown fails: Movement against slavery grows, but Northern white workers hate slavery and slaves alike, and Garrison doesn't make common cause with labor movement against employers.
3. Why did poor Southerners make common cause with slavery? White Southerners of little or no property demand equal rights, but don't address the source of planter's power: chattel slavery, because they view blacks as competition. Missouri Compromise of 1820 pleases neither abolitionists nor slaveholders. South Carolina defies federal government.
2. How did slaves resist? The Haitian revolution (1792-1804) inspires African Americans; slave uprisings of Gabriel Prosser (1800), Denmark Vesey (1822), and Nat Turner (1831); the Seminole Wars, 1812 and 1835; the Amistad Rebellion, 1839; and the everyday resistance of slaves (1619-1865).

It was this scary, sleazy necessary evil—packed with business cards, resume stacks, cheap white wine, and me acting like somebody I'm not. I became good at networking only when I stopped thinking of it as a way to land a job and started thinking of it as a way to build a relationship. You want to be a master networker? Great. Start inviting people to coffee. Don't wait to reach out until you need something. Get into the business of connecting. Invite someone you've met recently out to coffee to get to know them more. Listen to their aspirations and share yours. Rinse, repeat, and don't forget to follow up. One day, when you do have a favor to ask, you'll be in a great position to do it. What I just described covers fostering the network you already have. You will, of course, at some point want to meet with someone you've never met before.

Do I know you?
Jyll looked around, confused. The water person was leaving, and everyonesle seemed so sad. She wished she could reamember, just so she could tell the person she knew who he was before he left, yet, no matter how hard she tried, her memory would not come back anymore than it already had. Trying to distract herself, Jyll looked around the room. Someone she had not noticed before was standing off to the side. Did she know him? While she did not really remember the others, she at least at a sense of reconization when she saw them. But, she did not even have the smallest notion of who this was. She walked over to him.
"Do I know you?" Jyll bubble wrote.

It is important when choosing a bread bin that the lid is secure, this will ensure that no air can get inside the box making the bread stale. Wooden bread bins absorb moisture, therefore a metal bread bin is much more practical. A metal bread bin will keep moisture inside the bin making your bread last throughout the week prolonging its freshness.

Limited Messner Transparent Light-Gain Overdrive
This is a limited custom run of Walrus' Light-Gain overdrive, The Messner. Custom art features our explorer returning from a snow capped mountain summit in a cream colored enclosure with black, rust red and teal ink.
The Messner is a low gain-transparent overdrive boasting a wide range of overdrive possibilities. It is designed to preserve the natural voice of your guitar by not coloring your tone, but giving the user the ability to dial in and out the exact amount of tone they desire.
A toggle switch allows the user to bypass the clipping diodes from the circuit in the open position and employ them in the closed position, allowing a wide range of breakup from subtle to dramatic. Flip it to the open position and dial in a lower drive setting to add subtle aggression to your tone. Run it in the closed position and turn the gain knob up for more compressed and punchy tones. The color control works in all modes, giving you the ability to dial in brighter tones as you turn it up and darker tones when turned down. If you are looking for a low gain, dynamic overdrive that won't hide your guitar's natural characteristics, meet my friend, the Messner.
- 9V DC 20mA – 4.77 x 2.9 x 2.3 inches
The use of an isolated power supply is recommended for powering all Walrus Audio Pedals. Daisy chain power supplies are not recommended.

Apart from a short spell in the third quarter when it looked as if Sale might garland their tidy new stadium with a winning introduction to the Premiership, it was Saracens' stronger squad – with a significant seam of Northern soul running through it – who prevailed. Two wins out of two for Sarries and two defeats for the Sharks is the not unpredictable tally from the season's opening fortnight.
Danny Cipriani's home debut after returning to England from a season and a half in Melbourne pitted his 471 career Premiership points from his formative days at Wasps against the record-holder Charlie Hodgson's 2,009 – most of them harvested in the blue jersey of Sale.
Now Hodgson and his half-back partner Richard Wigglesworth, who both won the Premiership with the Sharks in 2006, were busy on Saracens' behalf, making the best of some dodgy line-out possession to launch attacks to the wide featuring two former Wigan rugby league backs Chris Ashton and Joel Tomkins.
Meanwhile on the touchline angry glances were swapped when Sale's chief executive Steve Diamond – not a huge fan of the current Saracens regime after the truncated 15-month spell he had as head coach there – spotted the visitors' assistant coach Alex Sanderson prowling the touchline out of the technical area. Sanderson is another Sale old boy, and in between all the one-upmanship going on between former colleagues, we had the unfolding experiment of the utterly neutral television match official.
Four penalties by Hodgson, getting himself quickly adjusted to the Sharks' new home at Salford City Stadium having previously done his stuff for them at Heywood Road and Edgeley park, had Saracens 12-3 up after 26 minutes, with Cipriani having opened with a 35-minute penalty in the fourth minute. Cipriani had already felt himself hard done by to be penalised for a deliberate knock-on to give Hodgson his second kick – in fact Ashton's potentially scoring pass to Wigglesworth was simply misdirected – and suggested to referee Dave Pearson that the TMO could have a look. But players are not allowed such requests, and Pearson felt no need himself to check.
After 31 minutes, from a ruck after a line-out, Saracens typically flew up hard in the midfield, and Brad Barritt blocked Sam Tuitupou as the Sale centre gave chase to a dabbed chip by Cipriani. This time Pearson did smell a rat, the TMO Trevor Fisher confirmed the block – though no yellow card for Barritt – and Cipriani's easy kick plus another soon after when Richie Vernon hounded Chris Wyles into holding on, had Sale just three points behind at half-time.
What needs to be decided over the TMO review – and probably much sooner than the entire season the trial is running for in the Premiership – is whether the umming and aahing while the tapes are checked are worth the interruption to the natural flow; also, whether the spectators' supposed satisfaction that the "big decisions" are being put right outweighs the nagging feeling of unfairness that other infringements are go unchecked.
Cipriani's hesitation that allowed an early charge down by Hodgson – a quick scurry back by Cipriani and Johnny Leota's fully committed tackle on Barritt saved Sale there.
The northern super club that Sale are aiming to be really ought to be the natural home for all those stars who have drifted south; hearteningly, one of the youngsters of the region raised the first songs of "Sale, Sale" to be heard here when Will Addison, the England Under-20 wing from Cumbria, caught a flicked pass by Wyles and raced 80 metres down the right hand touchline to score a try converted by Cipriani.
Trailing 16-12, Saracens stuck to their plan, and prospered. Hodgson missed for the first time then landed a penalty on 58 minutes. And the typically undaunted Brits returned to the gallops in an attack off the line-out which with Hodgson's visionary pass releasing Andy Goode to sprint past Cipriani ushered the exultant Ashton in at the corner. Sale cheers turned to boos when Pearson penalised the home front row in the scrum – Hodgson kicked the goal for 23-16 after 66 minutes, and Saracens had the power and the territory thereafter to quell any fightback.
Saracens coach Mark McCall said: "We look a little more dangerous and a little less predictable but it's a work in progress." The greater commitment to handling fashioned new signing Ashton's third try in two matches, and Hodgson said: "We've tried to develop oour attack anyway but if we're getting the best out of Chris that's good."
Sale coach Bryan Redpath said: "We did look a little shy in parts after a 40-point defeat [at Exeter] last weekend. It will take time to get that confidence back."

Chocoberry was a nice, and relatively popular candy person. She was a Strawberry coated with chocolate, and had a thick French accent. One of her Biggest friends was Manfried the Piñata, and she was also good friends with Mr. Cupcake.
What Mr. Cupcake didn't know was that she had a big crush on him. Sometimes she lets it slip accidentally, like back at the Slumber Party Truth or Dare game. She dared him to take off his wrapper, and everyone there discovered he was chocolate, not vanilla.
"Oh, Manfreed, will he ever know how I feel?" she asked her Piñata friend one day, as he hang by a street post.
"Who?" he asked, innocent.
"Vy, Meester Cupcake, of course!" she exclaimed, sad.
"Well, tell him how you feel. That should help." he tried to comfort her. She sighed, and smiled.
"Perhaps, soos are right! I vill go and try, at leest!" she proclaimed, confident. Manfried nodded happily.
She walked around town, looking for him. She said hi to Cinnamon Bun, shrinked away from Peppermint Butler, and greeted Princess Bubblegum as she took a stroll.
At last, she spotted him, sitting next to one of his friends on a bench. She waved, and he noticed. He waved back, and appeared to excuse himself from his friend. He walked over, and was about to be there to talk to her when he tripped on a hard candy pebble. He swerved over, and his face hit some of her chocolate. She blushed and apologized. "I'm so sorree!" she tried to say.
"It's alright. Say, did you know your Chocolate tastes good?" and he went back to his friend on the bench.
The whole situation was awkward, but she went back to Manfried.
"Greet news, Manfreed! Meester Cupcake thought my chocolate tasted good!"
He looked at her in shock. "He…what?"

EDIT : 17 Nov 2011
Summary: The Icarus Syndrome Curse, used to punish heirs by binding them to their worst enemy, is often fatal to both the heir and his enemy. Draco's life changes when he's bound under this Curse to Harry Potter. AU from end of Fifth Year. HPDM suggested
Info to Know before Reading:
AU since Fifth Year. Rests on the premise that Dumbledore had gathered more information about Horcruxes before inviting Harry to find them, as well as the idea that there was more politics involved with the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters than previously thought.
There will be various Greek and Roman mythologies used throughout the story and I will cite where I pulled each entry from. The small piece at the beginning is mine. I will try to answer any questions there may be and if there are any inconsistencies, please notify me and I will fix them. Enjoy!

Icarus Syndrome
Icarus, too consumed by the wind and the rush of flying, kept going higher and higher. His eyes were focused on the sun, the unattainable brilliance shining just above him. The wax began to melt faster, feathers beginning to fall. Then suddenly, they were gone. He reached his hand out to the sun, calling for aid from the sky, and screamed as he was plunged into the greedy sea, ignored by the golden radiance he had fought to reach.
Even with the scars, Draco Malfoy possessed an arrogant beauty. They ran in thick lines over his back, along his arms to his calves and culring up his neck, creating a pattern that one would have to see in its entirety to fully understand. He pulled the heavy cloak over his shoulders, dreading each moment as the dawn began to break. Cool air crept under the cloak and bit at his nude body. What would be the point in donning clothes when the lines would bleed fresh anyway? His curse would activate upon the light of day, completing the incantation his father wove around him. He felt the tears begin to trek down his cheeks and wiped them away diligently.
His silver hair glittered gold as the light began to seep into the tower. He wasn't ready for this. He'd never be ready for this. The first ray of light fell over him and the scars began to react and glow gold. The cloak fell away from his shoulders as the magic began to swirl around him, and the pattern of wings and spirals glowing over his pale skin. He screamed as they turned violently red and sprays of blood splattered to the floor. As the sun rose completely over the skyline, Draco Malfoy vanished in a burst of gold light.
"Hermione, why are we up so early?" Ron forced through a yawn, swaying dangerously on his feet. Harry was leaning on the wall for support and didn't seem to be faring any better.
"Because, Ron, we need to go to the Headmaster. Now." She glared at them and tossed her hair back, looking feral.
"Why again?" Harry asked, beginning to be more aware, especially as Hermione had a rather dangerous aura around her.
"Were neither of you listening when I told you last night?" She yelled in frustration. They winced, just knowing that their hearing was damaged. Hermione came into a set of vocal cords her seventeenth year and used them viciously. "We've got class today, and we can't skip that. I told you two to be ready before breakfast. Harry, this is getting out of hand."
"Uh, sorry?" Ron offered tentatively. She glared at him, and then at Harry before snorting and stalking down the hallway. "He'll still be there after dinner, you know Hermione. It's not that serious."
"We need to see the Headmaster." She began with a very forceful tone, "About Harry's-"
Golden light interrupted her and they winced under the intensity, before an echoing thud resounded through the corridor. Harry Potter rubbed the back of his head and rose up, leaning on one arm. Ron had lost his balance and was sprawled in a mess of limbs. Hermione had only backed a few steps back but her mouth had dropped open and she stared at Harry.
"What the hell was that?" He asked gruffly, but all she did was stare at him, or more specifically, his lap. Frowning at her, he glanced down and felt his own mouth fall open. Draped over his lap, completely naked and unconscious, was Draco Malfoy, and he was covered in blood and scars.
"I think this is what we need to see Dumbledore about now." She said slowly, approaching Harry to roll the blond out of his lap gently. Blood spilled out to the floor as she moved him and she gasped.
"I think we need to get him to the hospital wing first." Harry said, mind still blank. Ron came up beside them, pale as a sheet.
"Why are Slytherins falling out of the sky?" He asked stunned. Hermione exchanged a look with Harry and opened her mouth before closing it again. Harry just shrugged and pulled off his cloak. He covered the blond with it and Hermione added hers on top of his.
"Ron, just help me get him up to Pomfrey. We'll figure it out up there." Harry grabbed his legs and Ron hesitatingly grabbed his arms and they hefted him up. Hermione led them up the stairs, giving them directions nervously. This definitely wouldn't look good if the Golden Trio was found carrying the bleeding body of Draco Malfoy through the Hogwarts Halls.
"How dare you." His father bit out. "You have brought your entire house to shame, Draco. Your ancestors are all but rolling in their graves. This is how you honor their memory? This is the respect you show your name?" He brought the cane down again, striking his cheek. "Was it not enough for you that you had to shame me in public?"
"I can't anymore." He pleaded.
"Can't what? Shame me? No, you've already done that well beyond even my wildest dreams. I am ashamed to have my blood in your veins." He struck him again, lips drawn back in a sneer as the boy cried out. "You are no longer my heir. No longer Malfoy."
He drew his wand, and began to whisper. Draco screamed as the wings grew out of his back, bone growing rapidly, covered with flesh and feathers just as quickly. Then they began to burn, slowly catching fire and melting, littering the ground with feathers and chunks of flesh. Then the imprint began to sink into his skin, a design of flaming wings and falling feathers covering his body.
"You won't know this curse. But you deserve it. Like Icarus who ignored his father's warnings, so have you ignored mine, and like Icarus you will burn and be dropped into the sea, and I have made it your greatest enemy." Lucius Malfoy spat at his former heir, revulsion shining in stone colored eyes. Draco felt his vision blur and then blackness engulfing his entire vision.

Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is out of money, out of employees, and nearly out of time.
The studio behind the new video game Stargate: Resistance and the long-anticipated MMO Stargate Worlds is currently undergoing evaluation by a court-appointed receiver, and has effectively ceased operations. Because the leadership of the company is currently in dispute (story), the receiver is empowered by the court to take over management in the interim.
The receiver, Edward Burr, has released his initial findings regarding the current state of the company in a release directed at shareholders, posted on the CME and Firesky Web sites and sent by e-mail to all known shareholders.
According to the release CME currently has no employees and less than $10,000 in the bank. It owes at least $2 million to creditors, unpaid payroll of about $1.1 million dating to March 2009, and federal and state payroll taxes of $3 million. The company has also been named in five legal complaints with a potential liability that the receiver estimates at approximately $10.1 million.
The company cannot pay the rent on its space in Phoenix, Arizona, and the landlord has indicated that he will "lock the doors" at midnight on March 31. To make matters worse, there is also a question about whether CME was the one to sign the original lease at all.
Needless to say, with no employees in an office space about to be closed down, work on Stargate Worlds has come to a halt. "With regard to actual operations, game development has ceased," according to the report. "Not to be redundant, but there are no employees."
Stargate: Resistance
Things look brighter for the game that has been released, however. In partnering with Phoenix-based Fresh Start Studios, Cheyenne Mountain Games (an operational subsidiary of CME) has effectively sold off Stargate: Resistance and held on to continuing royalty rights for having developed the game. FSS is run by a number of CME shareholders concerned with keeping the online game up and running. The company is now paying for the maintenance and development of the game, and is responsible for making the licensing payments to MGM.
"As represented to the Receiver, their sole intent was to preserve the game and prevent it from going offline due to lack of funding, employees leaving because they had not been paid, etc.," the report says.
But as part of the agreement, CMG reserves the right to repurchase Resistance. It would need to repay the $300,000 that FSS paid to take over the game, plus 10 percent, within the first year.
The Receiver must now either ratify the deal with Fresh Start, or the CME shareholders must act to repay FSS and nullify the arrangement. Assuming that Resistance stays with Fresh Start its development can continue unencumbered. In fact, the company released a new update for the game just yesterday.
What is next for Cheyenne Mountain? The company is awaiting dispensation on a $3 million state tax credit to ease some of its immediate debt. Otherwise, its only income is in royalties from Stargate: Resistance paid by Fresh Start, tied to the game's net receipts.
CME remains in litigation over both its rightful leadership and a February 12 bankruptcy filing. The receiver is evaluating whether it makes sense to keep the company in bankruptcy court, and may request that the bankruptcy petition be withdrawn if he deems that it is not in the company's best interests.
(Thanks to Aaron at SG Gaming Info for the tip)
MMO development is not to be messed with. It is the single most expensive game development project a studio could undertake.
Seriously, MGN should never have allowed development for a SG MMO to begin without an existing Stargate presence in video games. I hate seeing this news. But it's to be expected. Start small, then once you have a foothold on how to use the license in a video game format, then you can expand to other endeavors.
*tsk* best of luck CME & FSS
wow I can not believe it once again we get left waiting for nothing. Hope that whoever ends up buying the stargate franchise does a better job than MGM
Fantastic. What a giant let down for all the fans who stuck through their bulls**t cover-ups and tried to stay positive. MGM, don't EVER let a bunch of inexperienced, incompetent developers touch Stargate again. Stargate Resistance sucks, and I refuse to purchase it. We deserve better. We deserve WAY better.
MGM needs to give the Stargate videogame license to qualified and experienced developers. And I agree with Mrja84, they should not start with an mmo. Start with a FPS or something easier to develop to build up the fanbase. I'd love to see a Bioware-developed Stargate game.
I saw this coming for a long long time; I'll give them credit for limping this long though lol.
Although, it seems that 'Fresh Start' knows what they're doing, looking at what the updates fixed. It actually inspires me to want and play the game again. We'll see where it goes with Resistance I suppose.
But seriously, MGM cant find 10 people to put together a kick ass stargate game… I actually wrote up a design document a long time ago for a stargate space combat game, hoping by some act of god that MGM would notice it and use it lol (type 'Sargate: Battles – Design Document' in google if interested – some things have been changed, but overall the same concept)
On a side note though, I think they should have Valve make a stargate game, now that would be sweet ;)
No kidding, I completely agree with Mrja84 and JohnSN7. Start small and build up. Stargate SG-1 The Alliance may have been a great start had it actually made it to retail shelves. An MMO, however a great idea considering the series, should have been handled by a more experienced developer not to mention the financial power to actually complete from start to finish.
Wow things go from bad to worse for CME. Oh and a Bioware made Stargate Game = WIN!
CME, and Firesky just need to release the source code for Stargate Worlds, and make it a community maintained project.
I would like to point out that SGR will continue past this and it is only the studio i name only closing to my understanding.
MGM's choice in developers for Stargate games has been poor to say the least. JoWood has garnered a bit of a reputation of bullying their development teams around and releasing incomplete, bugged software; CME had no prior experience and was a questionable choice of an MMO for a first-time project.
MGM needs to shop around for a reputable development team if they want to break into the medium anytime soon. EA would seem a safe bet at this point, and they've mostly shaken off their "evil empire" reputation after Activision basically claimed that stigma as their own.
As long as they go with anybody but Activision.
I would have started out with a Single Player game for both CONSOLES and Computers . Some with a full story line to it .. Some things that would take you in the world of STARGATE SG-1 . maybe have it fully co-op style game where you and 3 friends could play threw the game as the main characters .
Heck they have the best story line for the game , Take the main plots from season 1 to season 8 with some side missions for fun . the main story was for the SG-1 Team was to explore and find new technology to help defeat the Goa'uld . Have it where each stage or planet or area you go to have a battle with a main Goa'uld .
This would have been a much better system then an MMO to start off with .
Each character would have had there own thing as well .
Jack – the leader of the team , would have the P-90 as could command the team . More of a tactical guy .
Daniel – The brains of the team , would be used to find out what different signs are or how to read scrolls and other things with in planets .
Sam – the Scientist in the group , she would be able to build up technology ( hidden things around the worlds .
Teal'c – The Jafa , would be more of a Snipper type of guy or heavy gunner . He would be the one with the Staff weapon .
This type of game would be great as a Over the Shoulder or Third Person view type of game . With a COVER base system in it , like Uncharted or Army of two style ..
With that they could still have made there Online section of the game where it could have been 8 vs 8 or 16 v 16 , where you could have taken sections of each world and made it to a nice size map to battle on with friends .
MMO for a first game takes to much time and to much money if you don't have something else bringing in money . STARGATE games aren't dead , but they need a real studio to develop it .
they will never come up with that money. EVER. this so called studio will never release any stargate games.
Personally, I think they should do it like the new Ghostbusters game, in that you play a new member of SG-1 (perhaps a replacement for Carter), sometime after Season 5 of SGA.
I'd rather go out exploring WITH SG-1 than BE SG-1.
Well this is just great!
Waitin for a good few years for this to be let down. . . AGAIN!
Resistance better not fall through ether because i actually enjoy playing it!
Thats what happens when you aim WAY higher than you can ever reach. I called this long time ago. Next time, MGM, make a deal with someone that actually knows how to make games, yeah?
As a person massively against MMO's, I think this is good news. Why not give us a contained story based game where it's first person featuring characters we already know and give a damn about.
Oh, wait, that was The Alliance and it, too, failed. I'm starting to think a good Stargate game is never going to happen. It seems to be a curse for this franchise.
I think Stargate is easily right up there with Star Trek & Star Wars (and Babylon 5, for that matter) in terms what the franchise's universe has to offer for game content to be built off of. But at the same time, it's also a game developer's Achilles' Heel because it is so big and overwhelming.
If done properly with the right developer/publisher and enough time and money, it could be an amazing gaming experience. For that reason, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Bioware does with Star Wars next year when it comes out.
I'm absolutely sure that a good team of developers (Bioware is my favorite) would be able to make a high-quality Stargate game. There's so much lore, mythology, and richness to the story that it would work beautifully. MGM just has poor judgement when selecting videogame developers.
I hope they can sought this messed out, but I do still think that MMO is the right place to take Stargate in, Stargate is gigantic universe an the Stargate effectively makes it unlimited.
I wish I had the money to buy the company, relocate it the UK an begin development again, I probably do it better than those guys. An you can be a new developer an developed perfectly good games, so it was not that cause the problems it was the management of the company.
there has to be some way to help them get the game back on track . this could be as big as or bigger the world of warcaft if it could get some more money to get it done .
Hope this isn't going to be the end of Stargate Worlds.
I expected this. What kinda of idiot would even loan them the start up capital if their first project was going to be an MMO.
(Laughs) Again, I laugh at this studio. They could of made anything, and they made a third-person piece of crap with no single player. Um, hello, what the hell are you thinking? Why is someone going to play this junk if they already have a wide selection of good games? OH! It's because it's in the Stargate world, so, it's got to bring in the fans, right? RIGHT? RIIIIGHT!?
16.2 million in debt, only 10k in the bank, no employees, ownership in dispute and the doors about to be locked up…. does anyone still doubt that this project is doomed?
Ive said it before and I will say it again, MMOs based on preexisting franchises are deliberate attempts to bank on the popularity of said franchise and put out a sub par product. One can only hope that game studios that engage in this sort of intent suffer similar fates.
What I want to see is a GOOD SG-1 FPS, where you play through a campaign as a new member of SG-1, along side Cam, Vala, Daniel etc. The campaign would be based around looking for new tech off world and we could visit some of the classic environments from the history of the game. It would also be an easy way to introduce with lots of varieties of enemies rather than just Jaffa.
However it would also have awesome team based online multiplayer. Where you can pick from a selection of races such as Go'uld, Jaffa, Ori, Humans, Wraith etc etc.
I suggest they just give the license to Infinity Ward and let them rattle out a revamped version of Modern Warfare 2 with Stargate graphics etc as they seem to have the FPS genre pretty much under control.
Lets face it, it would be awesome and probably take only a year or so to develop because the game engine, most of the animation and all of the human weapons are already done. Simply just a case of coming up with a few maps, some textures and character models (I'm sure it's more complicated than that in reality but not by much).
It's practically just a mod of what they already have.
I just want a freaking Stargate game already! Is that so much to ask?
Remember Me
Will you watch the new Devlin/Emmerich Stargate movie?

PowerBlast boilers
PowerBlast (BFG) boilers are used for the combustion of process gases, such as blast furnace gas, coke oven gas and LD converter gas, for installations that need to strictly control gas emissions.
The challenge
Against the background of stricter emission requirements and operating cost saving programs, the steel industry requires intelligent and reliable solutions for the energy-efficient use and environmentally friendly disposal of process gases.
The solution
PowerBlast BFG boilers are customized for the combustion of blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, and LD converter gas. The units are standardized in one- and two-drum designs or the El Paso design for larger units. The high-pressure steam generated can be fed to a turbine and, following partial expansion, the exhaust steam can be employed for the production of industrial steam or for district heating.
Benefits of the PowerBlast boiler
ANDRITZ' blast furnace gas boilers are characterized by their wide fuel flexibility regarding heating values and composition and advanced multi-burner technology to achieve low emissions. The El Paso type steam generator can include a re-heater to enhance efficiency.
As a result of long experience with blast furnace gas firing, in combination with modern engineering tools and design methods, customers can enjoy a PowerBlast boiler with the highest technological standards.

Naples Golden Gate High linebacker Stanley Sylverain knew he was going to commit to UCF when the Knights offered him in late August.
It was just a matter of when, not if, he'd pledge to UCF.
"I had liked the school before and I already told my parents and coaches that if they offer me, I'm committing," Sylverain said. "So when that happened, I was excited because I had heard good things about the school and saw how they were developing."
Sylverain (6-3, 215) committed to the Knights on Sunday afternoon, but there was a bit of anxiety leading up to the verbal.
UCF stood out to Sylverain throughout the recruiting process, but his recruiter and UCF linebacker coach Al Seamonson informed him that the Knights were planning on taking just one linebacker for the 2012 recruiting class.
"At first I was kind of worried because I know there were a couple of good linebackers and stuff like that," Sylverain said. "When I got the offer, I was just anxious and excited because it blew my mind because I didn't think I would be that linebacker to get the offer."
Sylverain wanted to commit to the Knights within a week of receiving the offer from Seamonson, but UCF's rule is that the Knights cannot accept a pledge until he meets head coach George O'Leary.
"They told me they were trying to get other linebackers," Sylverain said. "So I figured that if they were trying to get other linebackers that I wouldn't be recruited by them anymore, that they might have took someone else and that my offer wouldn't have been there no more. So I was kind of worried about that, but then they offered me."
His official offer came on Saturday after meeting O'Leary during his first visit to UCF.
"I really like their school," Sylverain said. "I didn't really get to see all of it. I got to see a little bit of the weight room when I was driving by and I went to the game. I really like what Coach O'Leary is doing with the program and how the program is set up and stuff like that."
Sylverain plays defensive end in Golden Gate's 4-3 scheme, but played linebacker last year in a 3-3-5 stack formation. Mike Digrigoli, Golden Gate's head coach, said it would be an easy transition for Sylverain.
"Stanley is a very instinctual player," Digrigoli said. "He understands leverage and is very quick off the ball. He has great size and great strength/. He's what we call a finisher, he finishes tackles. He has the ability to do several things, to stop the run and he's also a pretty good pass defender. He's versatile. The biggest thing is upside, it's tremendous. He's really just starting to come into form with his physical attributes. He's the kind of guy that projects at the next level."
The Knights beat out Maryland, Navy, FIU and Iowa State for Sylverain's services. None of the schools had officially offered but they had been calling him as recently as Friday.
One of the main reasons why Sylverain chose UCF was because of the school's proximity to his home.
"My friends and my family liked it a lot," Sylverain said. "In case of anything I could go down here or they could come up there, it's really not that far. I've seen a little bit of it, but I can't wait to come back and see the whole campus and see how it is. But so far, I like what I see."
The Knights now have six commits in their 2012 recruiting class.
Sylverain is the first player from Collier County to commit to UCF since Lely High's Ereck Plancher, who committed to UCF in 2007. Plancher died following an offseason conditioning program in 2008.

14 historic bridges cross the Turia River
Taking a walk along the old Turia riverbed crosses the city from east to west and allows you to enjoy bridges ranging from the 14th to 21st century. The route begins at IVAM with the Pont de les Arts (Bridge of the Arts), which has a track for athletics underneath it. Next up is the San José bridge, the oldest in the city dating from the 14th century but rebuilt during the 17th century to the damage caused by the 1517 flood. The Puente de Serranos, with one end leading to the Torres de Serrano, was built over nine arches dating from 1518. Alongside it is La Pasarela, which travellers used to cross over the river to get to the old train station. Further along the Gothic style comes into play at the Puente de la Trinidad and Puente del Real, both sporting baroque sculptures. Continuing on brings us to one of the three most avant-garde bridges in the city, the Puente de la Exposición, a work by Santiago Calatrava who also designed the Metro stop found underneath it. The eighth bridge, another Calatrava work, is the most striking for the over 27,000 flowers that adorn it depending on the season. Close to it is the Puente del Mar, built in 1591 and a pedestrian walkway since 1933, when the Puente de Aragón was built, the only art deco bridge in Valencia with sculptures by José Terencio Farré. Engineer Arturo Piero designed the Puente Ángel Custodio (Guardian Angel bridge) saluting the old patron saint of the city. It is followed by the Puente del Regne which houses four enormous gargoyles and is the largest bridge in the city. Next comes the Puente de Monteolivete, integrated into the City of Arts and Sciences with L´Hemisferic on the left and the Palau de les Arts to its right. After the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, the bridge designed by Valencia native Calatrava, the L'Assud d'Or bridge, which has a pole 125 metres high.

MIKE can say goodbye to his friendship with Carly's dad if he finds out about their sexual gymnastics.
He won't believe it was his little girl who came on to Mike. Mike will be branded the defiler, the villain. And he is responsible - he could have walked away but chose to allow Carly to tempt and beguile him.
Everyone gets attached to the source of their pleasure, just as drug addicts become attached to their drugs. All the ingredients are there for big trouble if he goes back a second time.
This situation reminds me of Vladimir Nabokov's famous controversial novel of a middle-aged man's doomed sexual obsession for a precocious, seductive 12-year-old "nymphet" girl, Lolita.
Mike won't go down that path unless he wants to destroy everything he's worked to achieve - good business, wife and children, home and friendships. If he doesn't douse Carly's passion for him quickly he's likely to squander the lot. Because we associate age with experience - and experience with better performance - women will forever want to date older men. Just look at Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
Carly's set out on her own exciting sexual adventure and has no incentive to cool things. She's having a brilliant time but it probably won't be long before she wants more from Mike and becomes emotionally demanding.
So far he's placed all the control in her hands because he's too weak to say no. He should take a holiday immediately to reconnect with his family and put as much distance between him and Carly as possible.
When he gets back he shouldn't delay the inevitable. He must be firm and resist her attempts to manipulate him. Tactful, not brutal.

Epilogue, Distant Memories
By: SilverRose82
Ren stood on the shores of the Grey Havens, her silver eyes studied the grey ship that was ready to set sail for Valinor. She turned to watch as Legolas and Gimli made their way slowly towards the shore line. The wind began to pick up causing the once still waters to stir and pale silver locks to dance around her as the tilling waves of a gentle stream. Her cape shone in the morning light as she smiled softly at the two life long friends.
"Tis time for the last of the fellowship to cross, friends await you." She whispered as she gazed at the two of them for one last time, there had been little physical change in Legolas while Gimli's once brick red locks had turned to a light grey. Legolas gazed up at his mother and saw the sadness within her silver eyes, but he realized that nothing would ever draw her back to Middle Earth.
Once he had finally met the woman who had given him life, she had stayed in Middle Earth for many years; seeing Frodo off to Valinor, accompanying Sam to his last trip to the sea, standing at the foot of both Merry and Pippin's tombs as they were laid to rest in Gondor, and both she and Fëa were present when King Elessar was laid to rest, Fëa leaving to comfort her great-granddaughter as Ren wove a Lunarian prayer of protection and safe passage to Otherworld over the tomb of Elessar. While she had been there for many important events as well as the wedding of Lantaranar, she had distanced herself from Thranduil and never again spent a day in the hall of the Wood Elf King.
"Will you not come with us?" Legolas asked as watched his mother shake her head, her hands clasped around the Star Staff as she stepped back. Her eyes glistened with unshead tears, tears that had not fallen when she had seen Frodo off, tears that would not fall as she stood at the foot of both Merry and Pippin's tombs even with her great love for the two hobbits.
"This is your journey, mine is to continue on forever more, I will be allowed no peace for there will always be someplace that needs my assistance." She spoke softly her words range true as Legolas nodded, knowing that nothing would change her mind, turning to Gimli he nodded to his dwarven friend before they both turned to make their way towards the boat.
Cosmos watched as the last of the fellowship sailed towards Valinor, her hand raised in farewell as she watched the grey ship meld into the horizon. Her silver eyes watched as the morning sun rose further into the sky with each passing moment, turning to gaze at the landscape behind her she nodded softly to herself before gazing over at Helios. The white haired guardian smiled softly to her as he offered her his hand, smiling Ren knew that the chapter of the Ring was finally over and another chapter could begin to be written in the Book of Cosmos.
Her elven husband still lived and ruled Greenwood the Great, but the once passionate relationship the two had held for so many years had faded with every year she had been gone. She had watched her eldest marry 'the maiden of his dreams' as he would say when speaking to Haldir and the twins Rúmil and Orophin. And she had been there when her hobbit friends had passed on to new lands or to Otherworld.
Her life on Middle Earth was no more, the once forest covered lands were being over run with man as the last of the elves left, dwarves and hobbits were never heard about again, and the last of the Eagle Lords flew to Valinor where they would live out the remainder of their years. Only the Ents still remained as the last of the mythical creatures of Arda, but even they stayed hidden when man was near. Gazing around one last time Cosmos nodded to herself before she and Helios disappeared in a cloud of garnet smoke. As is the last tale of the story of Cosmos.
Yes so I put in a final "chapter," put together in a grand half and hour or so. But as I was reading some chapters I decided that the last chapter wasn't really the LAST chapter but this one is.
10/04 Added a little more to it, fixed some mistakes that I noticed.
Review, Thanks, and Goodnight:
