The Lore of Your Locale
Every place has a story, and different stories are possible in every different place.
More and more, the stories of the places we live are paved over with the same franchised stores and restaurants as the next town. They seem to tell a new story: "This was just undeveloped land that nobody was using, but now you can buy a collapsible collander, or anything else!" A happy ending for some folks, I guess.
But reach the end of your life, and the stories of your kitchen gadgets or electronic equipment just aren't that compelling. And yeah, about development a lot, so just to be clear, that's not what this exercise is about.
This exercise is about the quirks of a place. How about the guy who holds the pizza restaurant sign on the corner every day; what's his story? Or that street that changes names three times, making it difficult to give directions. In my town, there's a big sand dune which has become a sort of home-made billboard that changes every day*. Pretty soon there will be a story everywhere you look.
Please include the name of your town or region in the tags; you might find someone who lives where you do. Please also consider sharing the inspiration for your story in the author guidance section.
There are enough stories from Paris and New York, et cetera. Let's have the lore from Normal, Illinois!
*It's not meant to be a shameless plug but I guess it is: you can read my sand dune story for an example at http://www.protagonize.com/story/free-jr.

Borophene: A prospective extraordinary sodium anode material
|As the size of sodium atom is much larger than that of lithium atom, many anode materials widely used in lithium-based batteries show poor performance in sodium-based batteries, most of which suffering from low intercalation utility, slow kinetics and sever volume expansion.
|Recently, a research team led by Prof. Tianshou Zhao at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology comprehensively investigated the feasibility of employing borophene, a newly synthesized 2D sheet of boron, as an anode material for sodium-based batteries via ab initio calculations ("Ab initio prediction of borophene as an extraordinary anode material exhibiting ultrafast directional sodium diffusion for sodium-based batteries").
|This is a schematic drawing of sodium diffusion on borophene and the comparison about capacity and relative sodium diffusivity with other reported sodium anode materials. (© Science China Press) (click on image to enlarge)
|The calculation results show that during charge, the maximum Na/B ratio can reach 0.5 (Na0.5B), corresponding to a capacity of as high as 1218 mAh·g-1. The unique buckling structure of borophene leads to an anisotropic diffusion behavior.
|Along the valley direction of borophene, the diffusion energy barrier for sodium is as low as 0.0019 eV, corresponding to an ultrahigh sodium diffusivity, which is estimated to be more than a thousand times higher than that of conventional anode materials and one to seven magnitudes higher than other previously reported 2D materials.
|This ultrahigh diffusivity is expected to revolutionize the rate capability of sodium-based batteries. During the charge and discharge process, the metallic feature and structural integrity of borophene is predicted to be well preserved, which ensures good electronic conductivity and stable cyclability. The calculated average open circuit voltages (OCV) is 0.53 V, which is an appropriate value for sodium-based batteries to maintain a high energy density while effectively suppressing the dendrite formation.
|Till now, compared with other reported sodium anode materials, borophene holds the highest sodium diffusivity.

|This is a discussion on Americas Cardroom bonus issue? within the online poker forums, in the Poker Rooms section; This site does not pay it's bonuses for new deposits according to their stated policy. They also take 25% of tourney fees and do who
Americas Cardroom bonus issue?
This site does not pay it's bonuses for new deposits according to their stated policy. They also take 25% of tourney fees and do who knows what with them, but in your transactions, all the tourney fees you paid will only show at 75% of the actual amount you paid.
Further, the bonus is supposed to be released for every 27.5 AP you collect. Every $1 in tourney fees is supposed to give you 5.5 AP. However, they only give you a fraction of that or NONE AT ALL.
I've contacted support about 7 times in the last 24 hours. They have all given me a different story. The last rep I talked to confirmed that I did not receive what I was supposed to receive yet could do nothing about it.
All of the data is available through their "transaction" ssection of the site. I took all the numbers for my calculations from there. Yet they still refuse to do anything.
Even if you exclude the 25% of fees that they steal from everyone, they still are burning me on about 20% of my bonus dollars. If you include the 25% in fees they steal from everyone, then its more like 35% of bonus dollars are not being released.
Customer service reps were hostile, acted impatient, treated me like I was wasting their time. And all of them blew me off and told me one lie or another to get rid of me.
Do NOT play on AMERICAS CARDROOM it's a complete scam run by criminals.
I asked them for contact information on the government agency that regulates their business over 10 times and they will not provide it.
This site AMERICAS CARDROOM / Yahtay Network / Ya Poker / Winning Poker Network is a SCAM . A CRIMINAL operation. Their RNG is completely rigged. I have hundreds of videos of hand replays that can show this is WAY more than just "Variance" which is the company line any time a site is rigged.
Do not play on ACR. IT IS A SCAM!
Stop supporting crime
I would like to suggest you stop sponsoring illegal criminal enterprises in Costa Rica doing business as Yatahay, Inc. AKA Winning Poker Network AKA America's Cardroom.
This "company" has been indicted on fraud for cheating players. I personally have data and admissions from employees that prove they are cheating customers out of thousands, if not millions.
Why is this forum an affiliate of a criminal enterprise that is no better than being in bed with the mafia?
This lends to very negative credibility for your site. As the Costa Ricans would say... "No Bueno!"
Every tourney I've played.
All of the fees on there are -25% of what they actually charge.
The 25% they take is actually reported in the "profit" column falsely. As that is no the actual amount of profit you receive.
You can veiw all of this information on your own account on ACR if you have one by going to 'transactions' and then 'tournaments'
151.50 in tourney fees. = $30 bonus dollars.
This does not include ring play, which would be more bonus dollars.
I have only been released $20 dollars.
Support confirmed this. Yet did nothing about it.
The facts are in any players account transactions. I don't need to post them. Try reading what I said again. Go to your transaction history and you will see this.
I was wrong about one thing though. I thought they only owed me about $13 - $15 dollars. But I went over my ring game rake data again.
It turns out, the only bonus dollars I've been paid at all were for ring game rake. I have been paid ZERO dollars and awarded ZERO AP for any tournaments I have paid fees on.
I have paid $151.50 in tournament fees. That's $30+ Bonus dollars worth of AP. I have received ZERO DOLLARS for that $151.50 in fees.
I have reported this to customer service 10 times and every time am basically ignored and given pre-scripted answers until I give up in frustration.
They are doing this on purpose, they have to be. How could you overlook something so major. I cannot be the only one who has noticed this. I'm sure they lie to, blow off, and treat rudely any other customers who come to them with this as well.
This place is terrible. Any place doing this cannot be trusted not to be rigged. This is Yatahay Network, AKA Winning Poker Network. They were the ones who ran UltimateBet and AbsolutePoker who got busted for rigged RNG's among other things a few years back.
This place is no bueno and this forum is an affiliate, they get kickbacks for referring members and have freerolls hosted there. What's up with that?
I posted in suggestions they should stop supporting crime here. You saw it. That got deleted. I thought this was an open forum to express thoughts and facts freely. I didn't know we weren't allowed to say anything about the cardroom room who pays Cardschat money to refer players was completely screwing over all of its customers. Gee, I wonder how long til someone deletes this thread. I'm sure it will be gone within a day or two if not sooner.
when you don't see me on here or my name says banned, its because i was trying to expose the truth. this place is getting you to play on sites that rip you off. they are supporting crime ridden scum bags like yatahay network , of San Jose, Costa Rica. Who has NO REGULATION BTW. and calling it "AMERICAS" cardroom. What a load of crap. I'm writing my congressmen and having em send SEAL team 6 to Costa Rica for a little scum bag cleanup operation.
re: Poker & Americas Cardroom bonus issue?
Personally i couldn't care less about any of this that you talk about as it just does not affect me in any way whatsoever but I'm sure there's a deeper reason for you to be ranting and raving over a minor issue that could probably be resolved with a little time and effort.
Anyways are you a winning player?
ok ....so far tracked down where the missing 25% of his fees is going .
so for all the 10$ spin and goes 6% was taken in fees, so all the buy in figures in the table are correct. of the 6% rake , 25% of that is put towards the sit and crush leaderboard promotion and played back to the players who finish high on that leaderboard.the other 75% of the fees is reported in the client as the tournament fee as that is the part that ACR get to keep since 25% is funding the sit n crush promo.
As for the bonus $ that you say that you havent received , it looks like you have gone into transaction history and copied the tournament history, go into the banking section and then what do the bonus slices and bopnus deposits sections say. My suspicion is that the bonus $ have been released 1$ at a time into your account and then you have spent them entering tournaments . post screenshots to confirm that you have or haven't received those bonus $ . Also , who did you sign up to ACR with i.e are you on a VIP account or rakeback account as some rakeback accounts may not have the deposit bonus as you are getting your rewards via rakeback.
Your thread was not deleted - see above. Your 2 threads were merged and moved to the proper forum. Proper for then - it is looking more and more like it all belongs in the Bad Beats forum so could get moved again.
Sounds like you are very familiar with the process of getting banned.
re: Poker & Americas Cardroom bonus issue?
Run away from this sites asap! If you do get a successful withdraw, they send it you in a shady way under a different alias like fultilt did before they went bust. the fact they accept US players illegally should make you wonder how they skirt around the law to avoid prosecution.
If you like the software and structure, play on a skin like super stack poker which does not allow US players. Never had a cash out problem there.
Now, please believe me when i tell you, we are here to help, and I would love to look into this with you and fix it. If we owe you money on your bonus, believe me, we will pay it, but first I need to check your account and see the numbers so we can come down to a conclusion.
That being said, the first thing I would like to address, is the 25% tourney fees issue. As another customer, kindly explained previously, we have the Sit & Crush promotion, and what it basically does is to take about 25% of all tournament fees and put it on a jackpot for a Points Race for all customers. The portion of the rake or tourney fees used to feed either 'The Beast' or 'Sit & Crush' weekly points races do not accumulate Award Points towards releasing your bonus.
Now, please send me your username thru a Private Message so I can check your account and all the details of it and cross match with the bonuses so I can give you a detailed answer.
Once again, we are here to help you.
re: Poker & Americas Cardroom bonus issue?
I got the impression from the OP and the next, that this player is new to OLP, and doesn't understand what happened on Black Friday. He wants to know what government agency to complain to. So do all the rest of us! Study up on UIGEA and Black Friday. Then get familiar with RAWA. Join the PPA.
While we all would love for OLP sites to be more transparent, the same could be said about Oil Companies and their outrageous bookkeeping. We all accept that ain't gonna happen.
Having never had a serious issue with perceived problems at any OLP site, I can only suggest that OP review his calculations, and work with support to figure out what is really going on. It is folly to think it will be solved in an hour. He may have actually found a loophole. In which case I trust the site will rectify things.
Didn't realize so many people replied here or i would have responded sooner. I did find out that the 25% was for their beast promotion. So basically they are taking 25% of everyones fee and giving it to the top players. Seems unfair but w/e. Would be nice if they disclosed this in their deposit bonus terms. They may have added it at this point as I made a big stink about it.
This site is not American, its run by Yatahay Network, the same people involved with Ultimate Bet Scandal and Absolute Poker Scandal.
The people on here who are defending ACR probably have a feduciary interest in promoting the site just like this forum does.
Cardschat is sponsored by and receives YOUR money from ACR when you sign up. No wonder they have cardschat freerolls.. It's not them being cool and throwing 100 bucks out for the forum members. Anyone who goes there and signs up to play the freeroll is then considered to be recruited by Cardschat and they receive affiliate kickbacks from EVERY DEPOSIT YOU MAKE FOR LIFE.
I wouldn't be suprised if this forum which pretends to be a "community" forum isn't wholey owned and operated by Yatahay AKA WPN AKA ACR AKA BCP AKA Super Stack AKA a million others because they are such scam artists they must have many many ways to disguise and deceive people.
The sites servers are located in Costa Rica as is the Yatahay HQ. There are no regulations, no oversight, no audits, no government involvement, no third party anything. The only thing in costa rica is an arbitrary "gaming license" you can buy for 5k from a private company and it means NOTHING. It's a piece of paper they show players to make them feel like they are safe.
The entire thing is rigged on a recreation poker model similar to blowvada, whose VP admitted publicly that Blowvada is rigged to keep the money in the "poker ecosystem" by rewarding "net depositors". So basically they shuffle chips around while eating up everyones bankroll and minimizing deposits.
There are only two ways money leave the eco - system. Rake and Withdrawals. They prefer the former.
The site is rigged. Everyone should chargeback any deposits and never play there again.
I have proof and I'm sure many many many other people do too as I've seen this stuff all over the internet. This is a big business run by criminals and mafioso.
Also, on their site they claim 95% of payouts processed in 24 hours. This is complete BS. There is no possible way this number is even close to being true.
My cashout experience. I was trying to cash out just 200 of the 400 i had on there. I needed to pay some bills and had finally won a jackpot tourney for 200 bucks and wanted to cash out before they stole it back by cheating.
One quick piece of info, I contacted customer service prior to depositing with bitcoin and specifically asked "If I deposit with bitcoin do I still need to provide documentation/verification/whatever to cash out?" I was told adamantly "NO! You won't need any of that with bitcoin, we will just cash you out. That stuff is only if you use a credit card."
Great! OR so I thought. Once I was trying to cash out, it was a different story. I waited the 48 hours period they said to wait before contacting customer service (so not sure how 95% of cashouts are within 24 hours), no bitcoins so I contact them. It takes about 5 reps before I find someone who is not rude and can help me. This is pretty standard customer service for ACR. Actually better than usual. usually requires about 10 reps and you just give up when you realize they are not there to help you but lie to you and frustrate you until you go away.
Anyway, this rep told me i need to do verification. I told him what the other rep had told me about bitcoin prior to depositing. Unfortunately ACR reps never answer your questions and speak at you, not to you. I continually ask them to please answer my questions and post the same question over and over but it goes ignored. Also they are extremely slow, expect 15 to 30 minutes between each message if you are using live chat support. And then after you wait 30 minutes they will not address your question but give you some vague generic statement that doesn't really address your issue.
So this guy says some generic stuff that I interpret as basically I was lied to before as is standard policy at ACR. Their website is full of lies, their reps lie to you constantly, and of course, they cheat you and rig the hands so thats also in the same family of deception. Deceiving me to believe I'm playing poker when its really more like a slot machine.
So this rep eventually sends me an email with the things they need to "verify" my identity. I gather everything and send it over. The rep said I must wait at least 24 hours. (so minimum of 72 hours now in wait times, not sure how 95% of deposits get processed in 24 hours, more lies). After I wait 24 hours+ I get an email saying they need a scan of my credit card and to fill out some credit card verification forms and send them to them. I told them, I don't have a ****ing credit card, I used ****ing bitcoin for the 9000th time. The rep told me that I could not cash out for 6 months and to try again in 6 months. (They are probably counting on disappearing by then, or changing their name to something else like they did when they went from Yatahay to WPN so players wouldn't associate them with the crimes they had already commited).
After this, I began losing. Everything. My 400 dollar bankroll disappeared so fast it was crazy. Within a day I was down to less than 200. And the way every hand went down was just like all the people talk about on here, just like I've seen a million times on this site and others like blowvada. Some "donk" pushes all in with ABSOLUTELY SHIT, like an 83 with like AKQ on the flop, and then catches runner runner miracle to beat my straight or flush with a house. Or one of my favorites was the bot, err I mean player who was VPIP 100 for the entire tourney. And not just VPIP 100, but ALL IN and winning EVERY TIME. This guy catches a ****ing ROYAL FLUSH at one point during his 100 hand all in winning spree. just every bullshit scenario you can imagine has happened to me since then.
You can spot bots on ACR because they have EXTREMELY HIGH VPIP adn go ALL IN ALMOST EVERY HAND yet always win. They don't stick around too long before another bot, err player, joins the table and the bots chip dump to each other so as to not arrouse too much suspicion on one bot I'm assuming. Once you know how to spot this, it becomes VERY obvious that there are bots at almost EVERY table. Try talking to people. Very rare to find even one human at your table, two or three at the VERY MOST.
Anyway, my last 49 all ins, all with good strong hands worthy of all in, not crap hands, not marginal hands, but strong winning hands, I lost 47 of 49 all ins. No matter what cards I had, the bot, err other player would have a shittier hand and suck out runner runner miracle to beat me 98% of the time. It was insane. My entire roll dusted in a matter of a couple days.
I will never play on ACR or any other online poker site again. They are all rigged the same way and probably all owned and operated by the same slimy international mega corp. Either that or they are all buying/licensing their rig software from the same vendor.
I could go on for days more, but I think you get the point, and anyone defending ACR on here is either a brownoser sucking up to admins, or has fiduciary interest in promoting the site, or both. (or just morons in denial).
Again, I have HUNDREDS of hand replay videos to show examples of this, but do you really need my samples? Just google Americas Cardroom Rigged and I'm sure you'll get thousands of other people saying the same thing. Oh wait, but it's just variance right? That's what all the dummies say who just learned a new word and want to sound smart. Variance isn't the magical answer for a rigged site raping you. Variance itself has limits, and the things that are going down are basically statistically impossible. Or at the least a once in a lifetime experience, yet when you view the data collectively you see that this happens over an dover and over again throughout the hours, days, weeks, months.
These sites are run by criminals and mafioso, they are not regulated or audited. Do you really think a bunch of scumbag criminals from Costa Rica give a shit about whether you get a fair shake or not? If so, your even stupider than I thought.
That's my 2 cents. I won't be back to cardschat as they are in bed with criminals and deceiving all of you into thinking you can trust this forum when its sponsored by these criminals and these criminals give cardschat a percentage of YOUR BUYINS for recruiting you to be scammed!
**** ACR and **** CArdschat!
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Ruining a great game for everyone. Assholes!
Lmao I agree
See how that can just go the other way around?
In other words lets say you're on 27% rakeback at ACR and your account is linked to Cardschat. Let's say Cardschat gets 4% rakeback from your playing. Your Rakeback doesn't go down to 23% the site just ends up giving away 31%.
I don't know how Cardschat does it but that's just an example.
How dare a business make money?!?!
This is where I stopped reading. I usually don't do that as I feel it's rude but I got work to do....
So...just to clarify -
1. You are mad because they put a % towards the leaderboard promotion which gets more players to play.
2. You are mad because they take a % for operating costs (all poker sites and live casinos do this...).
3. You are mad because there aren't enough poker sites based in the U.S. (join the rest of the poker community...we have been in this boat for awhile).
4. You are mad because you lost money playing poker (most of us have lost at some point...the point in being at CC is improving your game to the point that you become a better player = winning player).
You are just plain mad???
To be fair, there are some sites that are problematic, but back up your opinions with actual facts that make sense. We all want a level playing field, but these kinds of posts don't help. I do wish you better luck in the future.
I kind of threw a tantrum at the ACR rep because she wouldn't offer me any kind of reload bonus...
She kept telling me that I could make my own bonus playing PLO at happy hour.
I feel bad for yelling at her since it wasn't her fault, but I suck at Omaha. Hate that game...

By Matthew Stimson
Further changes were made to the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (CIL Regulations) on 24 February 2014.
They present opportunities for developers to better manage their CIL liability, but also add new complexities with which developers and local authorities will need to grapple.
The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2014 address a number of perceived inequities in the rules for calculating, collecting and spending CIL. The key changes are as follows…

Record warmth on parts of the Plains
Across the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather prevails. Recent and ongoing warmth has begun to coax winter wheat out of dormancy as far north as the Ohio Valley.
On the Plains, record-setting warmth continues to dominate the northern half of the region, where Friday's high temperatures could approach 80° as far north as South Dakota. Elsewhere, mild, dry weather prevails on the southern High Plains, while scattered rain showers linger across the southeastern Plains.
In the South, ongoing heavy showers across much of Louisiana and Mississippi are resulting in a grave flood danger in several communities due to rising water levels and the threat of overtopped levees. Storm-total rainfall has reached 10 to 20 inches or more from easternmost Texas to the northern Mississippi Delta. In stark contrast, warm, dry weather in the southern Atlantic States favors fieldwork and crop development.
In the West, impressive storminess is returning to northern California, although most of the precipitation is again falling as rain. As a result, the water content of the high-elevation Sierra Nevada snowpack has not appreciably increased in March, although storms continue to boost soil moisture and increase reservoir storage.

No. Not quite. With Deimos and effective usage in mind? Sure.
It's overpriced. Do you know the HPs of statues, number of hits for MAX'd HoB on each difficult to 'freeze' a given target, have familiarity with the expensive nature of the thing, etc.? I happen to. And still say it's overpriced.
If they had better checked the statue HPs, it would likely receive a kinder review. Someone playing on Easy would likely have a much more positive view of it, but that same person would have no reason to bother anyway.

Well, I know I'm going to take some heat, but pitbulls get a bad rap and now, they are even being compared to Hockey moms by the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate...don't joke about animals that have been given a bad reputation already and don't lump all hockey moms in the same category. Keep us animals out of politics because we don't vote!
Last night this joke was used by Sarah Palin, Vice Presidential Candidate on the Republican ticket.
"What's the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom? LIPSTICK!"
I know the democrats said that Vice Presidential Candidate Joe Biden has been referred to as an "attack dog!"
Please keep us out of politics. Just my opinion and I don't get to vote!
Human brother was heading home and he saw 2 police
motorcycles with flashing lights. About a mile later, he
then saw 3 police cars with flashing lights, along with 2
buses, and then another 3 police cars with flashing
lights. He had never seen that many police cars before, and
he was following Barack Obama and Joe Biden's campaign buses
traveling from the rally in Dublin (near Columbus, OH)! He said it was a sight to
see! And, just to think that Barack Obama and Joe Biden slept last night in Austintown, OH not even 10 miles from my house and that we both had the Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates in our areas on the same day!
OMD! Poochini...thank goodness you left this note because I just checked my page and I have so many Fabreeze collars that I almost fainted! I thought everybody was telling me "You stink!" (BOL)! Well, I might smell a little after not having any air conditioning for almost 5 days at my human brother's house and since mom has to give me a bath tomorrow! You saved me from paranoia! I thought my BO smelled from Columbus, OH all the way to Dogster...he...he!
We did get the new furnace and air conditioner installed and finally got relief late Friday night. Thanks to all that sent me the gifts...it will take me a little time to thank you all individually. Hugs, Rex

Men and their aches and pains are now the target of the Health Ministry in Brazil. In August, this year, the government of Brazil launched The National Policy of Man's Health or the policy for the health of the man. The program aims at promoting access to health services for males who otherwise, perhaps by cultural and educational reasons, tend to look for health services when their ailment prevents them from working. In every three deaths that occur in Brazil, two are men. The world over, men live on average five to seven years less than women.
As is the example with breast or other cancers, people tend to seek help when their disease is far too advanced for help and the program aims at just that: prevention. "Precious time is lost when that happens", says José Gomes Temporão, Health Minister, "when they arrive at the health services it's because they have reached a critical stage".
R$ 613.22 million (Brazilian Real), or about US$ 300 million, will be allocated in a eight-year framework, for communication initiatives, health promotion, service expansion, and investment into the public health structure. By the looks of it, it seems a revolution in men's health is about to start. It was about time.

Just to Dance
I walked barefoot as I crossed the cobblestone floored courtyard of the school. The trees around me cast large shadows in the light of the setting sun. It was almost 9pm as I neared the door that I had propped open; I slowed to make sure no one was watching me.
Once inside I quickly walked towards my locker where I had my laptop waiting. With my computer under my arm, I made my way to the studio, and just as I had left it that afternoon, the door was slightly ajar. I closed the door and flipped the light switch. As I did, the dance studio laid itself out before me. The polished hardwood floors, the wall of mirrors, the bar along the back wall, it all looked so enchanting.
Ever since my arrival at the performing arts school two weeks ago, I had been trying to figure out how I was going to get into the studio. Only dance majors were permitted into this studio or any of the others for that matter; I majored in acting, and I was specifically instructed not to set foot in any of the dance studios. I listened, but I didn't care.
I set my laptop on the table in the corner, and loaded up my Cascada play list; "Hurricane" was the first song to play. As the music began filling the room, I peeled off my jeans and t-shirt to reveal running shorts and a tank top. My shoes were already off; I intended to dance in my socks.
I stretched well before I began to dance. By the time I got started dancing, "Every Time We Touch" was vibrating through the speakers. I shifted my feet across the floor to the rhythm, and my arms followed in a flowing pattern to match the movements of my legs. I had already crafted a routine to this song, so I moved to the beat with practiced ease.
When it ended, I centered myself in the middle of the room and began pushing my legs to move to the fast, rugged tempo of "Endless Summer." The song ended as I slowly pulled my legs together. The next song was "Truly Madly Deeply." The intro was several notes hit on a piano, then a slight crescendo into the lyrics.
I pushed my legs apart as I slid to the floor to spin myself back up like an ice-skater in slow motion. When I got back to my toes I slowly spun with my arms out, my eyes closed, and my head flung back. My arms were caught and held as I felt myself being led across the floor. I jerked my head up with a start, but my partner didn't miss a beat as he spun me around. After a full turn, he had his arm back around my waist and was leading me around the studio. I was so startled that it took me until the ballad of the song to stop dancing.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I pulled away from him. An amused expression played through his emerald green eyes and across his sun-kissed face. His curly, shaggy hair hung over his forehead. It was long enough that if I had pulled on one of the curls, it would probably have been about three inches long.
"Me? What are you doing?" "Truly Madly Deeply" ended and "I Can't Stand It" started pouring out of the speakers.
I stumbled over my words as the lyrics, "I can't stand it anymore now baby. The music makes me feel so crazy, so come on and take my hand, and I'll show you that we can dance!" filled the studio.
"I'm dancing, and you?" I stared at him as he smiled at me.
"I'm trying to dance with an actress, but she doesn't seem interested," he replied with that smile.
If he wanted to play it that way, then so be it. "Maybe she'd like to know her partner's name before they danced."
"Fair enough, my name is Zander," he spoke as he bowed deeply to her. "And you?"
"My name is Alicia," I answered as I curtsied and extended my hand to him. He took it and spun me to him as the music carried on. Forty-five minutes later we left the studio and went to our dorms for the night. We didn't speak while we danced, but I learned that he must have been a dance major, for he moved with such fluidity that I had a little trouble keeping up.
Although I knew his major and his name, which I thought was a feat all in itself, I don't think he needed me to tell him my name.

I hate having toes.
take turns imagining the diary entry of a teenager, with maxed out drama and agony.
Dear Diary,
Today, Abby stepped on my toes. I punched her, and got sent to the principal's office. No one cared that my toes are all ingrown, and it really hurt! I guess I have to ask Mom for a pair of steel toed sneakers, because I am not able to control my fists when my toes get stepped on. More later, Dad is calling me to dinner.

A Note from the Author:
Years ago, I swore to myself that no matter how awful or embarrassing my older fics would seem as I grew as a writer, I wasn't going to delete a single piece of published fanfic. On occasion, I'll look back at my older works and mercilessly pick them apart, and it's almost unbearable to read from start to finish. I still cringe at the plot ideas that lacked structure, poorly worded phrases, flat dialogue, and my old tendency to abuse adjectives.
All of this has allowed me to realize that the writer behind the pen has improved. That feels good. It's a reminder that I need from time to time, when I completely doubt my abilities or feel like I'm way in over my head about ever becoming accomplished. It reminds me that I'm stronger. Better.
There really isn't a point in telling you this. Except, maybe, I'd just really like to thank everyone who's ever supported me. You are all constant reminders that I'm not as lost as I used to be.

Punk Rock Purple
Girl turning sixteen, told me to make a cake funky, using puple and green and she wanted some black and white checks on the cake some where. This is what I came up with, Guitar on side was made from gumpaste so it would be hard enough to stand and I hand painted using vodka and food paste color to do designs on guitar and side of bottom tier. The 16 on top I made from shapping wire covering in fondant, letting dry then painting in the deisgns.

The MRX 310 is Anthem's latest entry-level AV receiver, a new and improved version of the MRX 300 which blew us away back in 2012.
Anthem's no-nonsense, performance-led approach to AV receivers has earned the Canadian company an enviable reputation among home cinema enthusiasts. They might lack the latest tricks and tech found in big-brand receivers, but make up for it with a more powerful and refined performance than you might expect for the money.
But what really sets Anthem's receivers apart from the competition is the inclusion of its exclusive Anthem Room Correction software (ARC). Now in its second incarnation, ARC 1M has been enhanced to make it easier to use and even more accurate. Everything you need is bundled in the box, including a microphone and tripod stand – another reason why Anthem's receivers represent phenomenal value for money.
Interestingly, the MRX 300 offered seven channels of amplification but the MRX 310 has been demoted to a five-channel affair, creating a clearer distinction between this entry-level model and the step-up MRX 510 and 710, which deliver greater power and extra features.
ROUND-UP: Best Surround Sound Systems
The MRX 310 benefits from a major design overhaul. The MRX 300 looked drab and workmanlike with an overly busy front panel, but the stripped-back MRX 310 is much easier on the eye. The dark grey, brushed aluminium finish and curved bars at both ends of the fascia bring refinement and elegance, and we love the simple, uncluttered arrangement of buttons and dials on the front. It's still a little industrial, but a much less scary proposition than its predecessor.
On the front is a nicely-sized blue LED display panel, giving information about the input and audio format being used, with a row of six discreet buttons below it. These let you access the setup menu, toggle through inputs, dim the display, change modes and levels and select zones.
On the right is a large volume dial and power buttons for zones 1 and 2, while on the left is a panel of menu controls and a removable flap that hides a headphone jack – unlike the MRX 510 and 710 there's no front HDMI input.
Also pleasing is the MRX 310's build quality – something Anthem prides itself on. The bodywork's robust metallic construction is every bit as good as you'd expect for the money.
The MRX 300's socket selection was disappointing to say the least, with just four HDMI v1.4a inputs to its name. Thankfully Anthem has increased the number to seven on the MRX 310, alongside two HDMI v1.4a outputs, which should be enough for most users. The HDMI sockets support Audio Return Channel (ARC) and 3D pass-through, plus 4K upscaling and pass-through on one of the inputs.
They're joined by five digital audio inputs – two coaxial, three optical – and five sets of analogue stereo RCA inputs. On the analogue video side there are two sets of component video inputs and one composite input. You also get optical and coaxial outputs, which can be used to send two-channel music to a second zone, and two sets of analogue stereo outs.
Completing the line-up are 5.1-channel pre-outs, FM/AM antenna inputs, RS-232, IR in and out, 12V trigger, a USB port for firmware updates and an Ethernet port, which is used for IP control and to carry out the ARC M1 procedure – the MRX 300 relied on the clunky RS-232 port.

AN: hey guys. This idea came to me when I was reading this one ff about Ron and Hermione's failed relationship. It's a songfic based on Brad Paisley's Whiskey Lullaby. Its a really great song..so hopefully it'll be a really gerat fic..lol hope you enjoy.
Whiskey Lullaby
Life was no longer the same. Oh, how it was different. Ron threw the bottle of Fire Whiskey to the ground. It shattered. But it didn't matter. That was how his life was now. Shattered. Broken. Ron closed his eyes. His lids seemed to way 1,000 pounds. Funny how the littlest things take so much energy when you're drunk.
He wished it were how it used to be. Back when they were young and in love. They were so in love. After they had graduated from Hogwarts, Ron had asked Hermione to marry her. Of course she had said yes. They were in love after all.
But things were different now. She didn't love him anymore. She couldn't. Not after what she had done to him.
Ron had been away in Cairo, Egypt. His auror duties often took him to places like that. It was a dangerous job, but Ron loved it. And Hermione understood. I'm happy as long as your happy she would tell him. And he believed it. Because they were in love.
He had been gone for a particularly long while this time. 1 year and 8 months to be exact. But he was on his way home. Home to Hermione. He took the trip home by train. Sure, he could easily apparate there, but coming home ( and especially after long trips like this ) he liked to take the train home. It helped to clear his mind. On the train ride home he decided that he was going to quit his job. True, he loved his job, but he loved Hermione more. And he couldn't stand being away from her for so long. So he was quitting...and he would tell her as soon as he got home...
He opened the door to their home. It was great to finally be back. Hermione's voice drifted down from upstairs. Ron headed that way. A smile spread across his face. He would see Hermione soon. Oh how he love her.
He opened the door to their bedroom and the smile that had been on his faced slowly faded away.
Hermione was in bed. And she was kissing another man. When she realized he was in the doorway she jumped out from under the covers. The man she was with grunted in surprise. Ron didn't even stay to see who it was.
"Ron wait!! I can explain! Please...don't leave me..."
"She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind..."
But that was 4 months ago. It didn't hurt anymore. He was...numb. But it wasn't always like that. Ron had suffered. Hermione had hurt him...hurt him bad. But even then... he had loved her. He had thought she loved him too.
Ron fell off his chair, cutting his hands on the shattered glass of the whiskey bottle. Slowly, he forced him self to open his eyes. But why? There was nothing else to see. Nothing mattered anymore. Thanks to his new friend named Whiskey. It was his only constant in his life. It helped to numb the pain.... To numb Hermione. Yea, Ron didn't lover her anymore. That was for sure.
Ron turned his head to the side. The spilled whiskey cooled his got face and wetted his hair. It felt nice. He closed his eyes.
"No Ron. Do one last thing."
"Until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.."
Ron got on his hands and knees and crawled to his bed. He tried to pull him self on to it but...he 't. He felt so...drained. He spotted bottle laying on its side near him. Though most of it had spilled out onto his sheets, he downed the rest of the remains. He always had enough energy to do that.
He let the bottle drop back onto the sheets and closed his eyes... and this time for good.
"We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die.
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby..."
Hermione was heartbroken. But she deserved it. How could she have done that to Ron. He loved her. He loved her so much it hurt. So why did she do it? That was the question she asked her self for many years after.
"The rumors flew...
but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.."
After Ron died, Hermione became the joke of the town. No body would talk to her...nobody but a pervert looking for an easy lay. And Hermione would give them it too. They gave her love. Even if it wasn't real.
Really, it was nothing. Nothing compared to Ron. Nothing to the way he made her feel. She had loved him so much. But he was always gone... and she got so lonely. And when Blaise started being a bit more than friendly to her, she found it nearly impossible to turn him down.
That's why she did it. But how could she? For a long time she was tormented by her selfishness. But soon, she found a way to forget it all...
And now, years later, Hermione had turned into the person that everyone in town had been accusing her of being. She looked around her kitchen. The whole place was littered with whiskey bottles. A mouse scurried under the refrigerator. She couldn't stand it any longer. Hermione slid off of the kitchen counter she had been sitting on and onto the floor. The lights were suddenly way to bright. She squeezed her eyes shut and hoped everything would be ok when opened them. Of course they weren't. But she had to get up all the same.
"Do it... Do it for Ron."
And do she did. She grabbed a leg of a chair and heaved her self up. Slowly, Hermione staggered to her bedroom and into her bathroom. Her hand flicked the light switch and she looked at her reflection in the mirror. This was something she rarely did anymore. It just scared her too much to see the person she had become.
Her hair smelled and was frizzy and dirty. Her chestnut eyes were blood shot. Was it from the whiskey or from constantly crying? Hermione didn't know. The once pretty face that Ron had fallen in love with was now haggard and pasty. Her lips were stained from the cheap red lipstick she would always wear.
Hermione sighed. A single tear slid from her eye. She stood there for a moment, just looking at the person she had become. Suddenly, she yanked open the drawer and dumped all of its contents into the sink. An old silver pistol fell on top of the pile.
"Ahh... here it is." A tired smile formed on her face. Soon everything would be okay. She would be with Ron again soon.
"Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees..."
Hermione had what she came for. She turned from the mirror and entered her room. Ron watched her from his picture on her bedside. She grabbed his picture frame and pulled it tight to her chest.
"I've always loved you Ron," she whispered into the air.
Another tear slid from her eye. Hermione put the pistol to her head and pulled the trigger, falling face first onto her bed.
"We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby..."

Lovely bra but got the wrong size so will hopefully have left it my size when it's returned.
Dani, 04/01/2015 11:07
Leider war der BH schon defekt als er zu mir kam. Die Bügel in der Mitte sind herausgekommen. Habe dies behoben und ihn nicht zurückgeschickt, da der BH ansonsten eine gute Qualität hat und eine gute Passform.

Gorgeous bra. Is even more detailed than the picture shows. Very comfortable, but sits wide on the shoulders. Works great with boatneck/wide necked shirts. Very sexy with the lace on top!

Straight Hair
"Whenever I get my hair done (get it blown out so that it is straight) and it is humid outside, I put on one of those crochet hats that were really trendy last winter. I wear it while I'm outside, and when I get to wherever I am going, I take the hat off and my hair looks great."

With naturally curly hair, I need to tame the curls and the frizz before anything else. I use a light scrunching gel and run it through my curls, and then I use a diffuser. This enhances the natural texture of my curls and tames frizz, giving me super-soft bouncy curls!
