A/N: Okay, my first ever chaptered story's debut!
Disclaimer: Bleach is hereby disclaimed!
"Okay class, I'll be back from the teacher's lounge in a few minutes and when I'm back I expect to see everyone of you with a partner for your assignments," said Ochi-sensei, as she skipped out of the classroom with a large smile.
"Damn that teacher. So freakin' cheery all the time…" muttered an apparently annoyed Ichigo with that permanent scowl on his face. He turned to his friends who were chatting animatedly among themselves.
"What kind of dumb project is she giving us this time? I heard it was something to do with bags of flour…" said Tatsuki. "We're supposed to take care of the flour baby as if it was our own child together with our partner. Me and my 'husband' can teach it to shoot laser beams out of its eyes and eliminate aliens!" said Orihime whose eyes shifted to Ichigo. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks which no one seemed to notice.
"Hai, hai.'" Tatsuki patted her friend on the head.
"I-CHI-GOO!! Aren't you going to ask Kuchiki-san to be your part-"said Keigo as he was interrupted by Ichigo's fist on his face. "Shut up you pervert!" yelled Ichigo who blushed as he looked at Rukia. I'm definitely going to ask Kurosaki-kun to be my partner…thought Orihime as she got up from her chair to ask Ichigo.
"I'm going to the toilet," said Rukia innocently getting up at the same time as Orihime. "Oh I need to go too!" Ichigo jumped out of his seat following Rukia out the door. Curious at Ichigo's strange reaction, Orihime peeked outside the class, surprised to see a nervous Ichigo with an impatient Rukia.
"I…er…about the partner thingy…"stammered Ichigo scratching the back of his neck. "Yes, what about that?" asked Rukia a little too innocently with a small smile tugging at her lips. "Can you be my…OW! Stupid midget, what the hell was that for?!" shouted Ichigo rubbing the bump that was forming on his head. "Hurry up will you? I need to pee real bad!" replied Rukia, clutching her stomach. "Fine, will you be my partner?" asked Ichigo, irritated.
"Took you long enough. Yes, I'll be your partner. Now, excuse me while I go pee…" Rukia trailed off as she sped off to the toilet.
Orihime turned around just in time as Ichigo walked back into the classroom with a small smile gracing his face. "Kurosaki-kun, what were you talking to Kuchiki-san about?" asked Orihime in her usual happy manner. Ichigo turned as red as Renji's hair. "Oh, erm, that was…uh…er…NOTHING!" Ichigo flashed her a grin that was too cheery for anyone's liking.
"Hey Kurosaki, I thought you said you were going to the toilet," said Ishida pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Oh, I- I didn't feel like going anymore."
Ichigo was saved when Rukia entered the classroom. Keigo, recovered from his previous injuries, once again pounced on Rukia. "Kuchiki-san, will you be my partner?"pleaded Keigo wrapping his arms around Rukia's feet. Ichigo was about to say something but Rukia beat him to it."Sorry Asano-san but Ichigo's already asked me to be his partner and I accepted," said Rukia smiling sweetly.
"Waaa…Ichigo…why, tell me why…I was just joking about asking Kuchiki-san just now…just joking…"wailed Keigo on the floor. Everyone started laughing except Orihime who was shocked upon hearing this exchange. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as she let Rukia's words sink in. Her eyes shifted to Ichigo who was getting redder by the second but she could tell that he was smiling to himself.
She got up and put on a smiley face, trying to hide her emotions, laughing along with her classmates.
"Why did you have to steal Kuchiki-san from me…I know you don't love her more than I do and I know Kuchiki-san likes me more than you…why do you have to put her through this misery?! Waaa…" Keigo continued wailing. This caused Ichigo to blush even more, if that was possible.
He turned to Rukia to see her reaction. He was surprised to see her blushing prettily. She looks really beautiful…wait did I just say that? No, Ichigo snap out of it! What has this bitch been doing to you?
Wait, did I just see her blushing?

Caribbean can lead CONCACAF again despite scandal: CFU president
By Simon Evans
MIAMI (Reuters) - The Caribbean has been at the epicenter of the corruption scandal that has rocked FIFA, but the head of the region's soccer body said there is no reason why another of their officials could not be the next head of region's troubled confederation, CONCACAF.
Gordon Derrick, president of the Caribbean Football Union, which represents 31 of the countries within the 41 member CONCACAF, said it would be unfair to stigmatize the entire region as a result of the scandal.
CONCACAF, which administers the sport in North and Central America and the Caribbean, is one of six regional bodies that make up FIFA, but its last two presidents have both been indicted by U.S. investigators.
Jack Warner headed CONCACAF for 21 years, until he quit in 2011 amidst "cash for votes" allegations. Warner, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing, faces a series of charges, including racketeering and bribery offences and is currently fighting an attempt by the U.S. to extradite him from Trinidad and Tobago where he is based.
His successor, Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands, was arrested last month in Switzerland and has agreed to be extradited to the United States to face similar charges.
"I don't think there is a black eye on the Caribbean per se, or that because these two (cases) happened back to back and therefore no-one else can do it. I think that would be unfair," Derrick told Reuters in a telephone interview from Boston.
"Yes the confidence (in the Caribbean) will be down, but we are a proud people from a proud area, who have ability; who can govern and who are intelligent. So if someone from the Caribbean steps up, they will step up and do well," he said.
In the absence of the suspended Webb, Alfredo Hawit of Honduras was named interim president of CONCACAF until an election can be held at its next congress. Continued...

Issue No. 03 - July-Sept. (2009 vol. 31)
pp: 4
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MAHC.2009.47
In less than a decade, a multidisciplinary field of inquiry has grown up around the study of computer games—a phrase that includes any digital game format based on computer hardware or software. We are devoting an issue of this scholarly journal to the history of computer games not merely to establish the rapid rise of game studies to respectability or to celebrate the industry's maturity. This special issue of the Annals covers international perspectives on the history of computer games. Our purpose is to explore the potential that serious study of computing used for recreational or entertainment purposes such as games or virtual worlds provides as well as the new opportunities it offers for critically engaging the history of computing.
Brian Sutton-Smith has argued for more than 20 years in books such as his Toys as Culture that play is culturally significant. Computer games in particular serve the serious purpose of providing various adaptive advantages such as developing users' skills and confidence in their abilities. Specifically, he argued that "the adaptive problem to which the video game is a response is the computer," which he considered as culturally important a technology as "printing was to the sixteenth century" (p. 62). 1
If we are successful in matching critical historical studies of computer games to this standard, tones of approval and disapproval, justification and critique, will be recognized and debated in ways that reflect wider issues on studies of the impact of games on society, culture, religion, warfare, and other aspects of life, just as with the history of science in recent decades. Reaching the conviction that games are this important—that they are representative, symptomatic, and impact-causing—leads us to conclude that they deserve scholarly attention. Frans Mäyrä has opined that it will hardly be "possible to stop young researchers from studying games when they have spent their formative years engaged with digital games and can perceive the evident role it has in the lives of their generation." 2 The rapid rise of the new academic discipline of game studies supports this conclusion.
As this discussion suggests, the collection of articles in this volume takes the history of computer games seriously. The topics run the gamut from early computer games to recent game platforms. Digital games have been played on devices and platforms ranging from the home television, arcade consoles, and handheld devices to personal computers, mainframes, and network servers. Still, there are common themes. An important thread through these historical studies is the layering of contexts for the development of computer games, ranging from business, social, and legal interests to the different aspects of the development of computing, including programming, hacking, display technologies, and digital rights management.
Along with multiple contexts, the articles also reveal important connections between computer games and other technologies and media, such as television and video engineering. Taken together, the articles in this special issue make a strong case for the interconnectedness of games and the many "adaptive problems" encountered by producers and users of computer technology since the 1950s.

Newt - AnyoneMature
The war to end all wars. Newts against Salamanders. Water against fire. Small versus big.
For too long have we small newts been subordinated by those feiry salamanders. Water puts our fire, but our supplies are limited. We newts are small and are bellies tiny and damp. Those salamanders have volcanic action brewing in their bellies. Burning our homes and department stores. Too much, I say! CHARGE!
That was the last I saw of those blasted salamanders. Good riddens! I charged with all my might, swimming as fast as my little legs could take me. I barely noticed the razor beak darting towards me. Or the golden talons that squeezed the water out of me. Before I knew it, I was bird supper.
Those salamanders were tough. I guess the moral of the story is, if you can't beat them...die!

Re: PlayStation Plus Deals for January 1st, 2013
I apologize if this has been mentioned in the thread already, but, I want to point everyone to the Last Chance section of the blog post for this week:
If you don't own a PS4, or haven't yet redeemed your PlayStation Plus access to Contrast, do it before the 7th of January, as it is getting rotated out.
"Purchase" the game on the PSN Store online to activate the code, so, when you do want to download it, you can. I did this with a slew of Vita games.
Re: PlayStation Plus Deals for January 1st, 2013[ Edited ]
I'm going to lock this thread since it was necrobumped from around a year ago, and the topic is deals from January 2013 instead of January 2014. Feel free to start a new thread with your Constrast removal notice, Grindhead

2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium Square Exhaust Tips
Im kind anew here so pardon if this is in the wrong area.
My name is Raul and for the Looonnggeessttt time ive been trying to get the dimensions of the squared/rectangular exhaust tips from the 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium.
I am wanting to install those on my 2007 TrailBlazer SS. I have a contact that works on cars from car shows and exhausts happens to be one of his strengths. He can pretty much make this stuff look factory. But MY issue is, I DONT have the part size.He will have to cut out the rear bumper/valance on my TrailBlazer SS but if its too much to cut out it might get in the way of the rear bumper grille and will pretty much not work.
I have called many of the online GM part stores and even privately owned part stores and NONE can provide this info.
IF you have this vehicle (escalade with the square exhausts) or maybe just the exhaust tips, please provide the dimensions of the tips...ive just ran out of options at this point.
I have attached some pics of the exhausts hoping it will increase the chances of me getting this info, or spark an act of good faith and maybe get some feedback from you guys...so if these tips look familiar, and you have them or can get the size, please let me know. Many thanks in advance and you all enjoy the weekend!!!!
Re: 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium Square Exhaust Tips
Why dont you just go by a dealership service dept. and explain your intentions. They may let you measure them yourself.
I think the SS TrailBlazer is awesome looking, but IMO the Escalade tips may appear to large for the smaller tail end of the TrailBlazer.
Re: 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium Square Exhaust Tips
I'll measure for you later today ... but it's a little tricky because they are at an angle, so the distance between the top and bottom of the tip will be greater that the actual cutout needed. So I'll also measure the bumper cutout, which is also at an angle, but hopefully it will give you a sense of whet's needed. I think going to a Caddy dealership with a tape measure is going to be the best strategy because you will be able to understand how they sit in the bumper and measure what is applicable to your bumper.
I will also agree that they may look too big for your bumper ... although they will match the front bumper cutouts so that would look really cool in principle. So I'm curious as to how it would turn out.
Re: 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium Square Exhaust Tips
Okay so please keep in mind that these are approximate measurements that they will be off by a mm or two here and there, so please only use them as guidelines not as the definitive dimensions.
The tips themselves are about 9 3/4" across from the outer edges, and they are about 5" high. The height measurement is not from the top outer edge to the bottom outer edge because like I said they are angled inwards ... it is the approximate dimension measured on a vertical plane from top to bottom if that makes sense.
The openings on the bumper are approximately 10 1/2" wide ... there is no vertical measurement because the bumper is open at the bottom and the tips protrude slightly below the bottom of the bumper.
Hope that helps a little and gives you a general idea as whether it is worth pursuing further.
Re: 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade Premium Square Exhaust Tips
You are a LIFE SAVER!!!!
Yes, I see you also noticed the front bumper openings too!!! I too agree that they are rather large, but it will also give the impression of the air just flowing right threw the body of the SS.
I am about to scroll down to your last reply, so ive got my fingers crossed!!!
Once again, thank you so much!
Thats really what I needed, something to work with. I have seen that the escalades tips come out a bit from the bottom , so im not overly concerned that they fit with the exact edge of the bumper.
I am still pursuing this and I am about to go outside with some tape and see if that will work. if I do get this done im def getting some pics uploaded here.
Thanks a BUNCH and Ill keep you posted, unless you consider that spam :-)

FOREX-Dollar steady, markets take N.Korea missile test in stride
* Euro net long positions rise to highest in over 3 years-IMM
* Euro reaches three-week high vs dollar but falls before Fed statement * Sterling falls from seven-month peak after UK GDP contracts NEW YORK, April 25 The euro pulled back from a three-week high against the dollar hit earlier on Wednesday as investors repositioned ahead of a policy statement from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Most traders expect the Federal Reserve to restate its intention to keep rates near zero throughout 2014 and possibly hint at more easing, especially after recent weaker jobs data. Such comments could be positive for the single currency. However, traders expected any gains in the euro on the Fed statement to be limited as the currency remained vulnerable to budget problems and political uncertainty in several euro zone countries. "Market participants will remain focused on any changes to the (Fed) statement, given that the Fed decision will have incorporated updated forecasts for inflation, employment and growth," said Eric Theoret, currency strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto. "The press conference should see Fed Chair Bernanke remain cautious on the economic outlook given the moderate pace of growth, the elevated level of unemployment, and the fiscal uncertainties as we head toward year-end." The euro rose as high as $1.3235, according to Reuters data, supported by relief as successful debt auctions on Tuesday sent yields on Dutch, Spanish and Italian bonds lower. But it last changed hands at $1.3184, down 0.1 percent, and just off the session low of $1.3179. The Fed statement is scheduled for 12.30 p.m. EDT, with an accompanying news conference later on Wednesday. Some analysts said a deviation from expectations with a more hawkish statement, pointing to improvements in the economy and dimming chances of more stimulus, could give the dollar a strong boost. "Developments coming out of the central bank may prop up the reserve currency should the committee continue to soften its dovish tone for monetary policy," said David Song, currency analyst at DailyFX. STERLING FALLS Sterling fell from a seven-month high against the dollar after data unexpectedly showed the UK economy slid into recession after contracting during the first quarter. This curbed demand for the UK currency, which has attracted strong support recently as an alternative to the euro during heightened concerns about budget problems in Spain and other smaller euro zone economies. Sterling was last down 0.1 percent at $1.6120. The dollar, which earlier fell to a three-week low versus the Swiss franc before recovering to trade little changed at 0.9114 francs, was also little changed against the low-yielding Japanese yen to 81.38 yen, though it stayed above the previous session's one-week trough. Analysts said the yen could come under pressure as market players position for a Bank of Japan meeting on Friday, when it is expected to increase asset purchases by up to 10 trillion yen ($123 billion).

Everyone should understand that shutting down the government's borrowing capacity at a time of $1-trillion deficits is irresponsible and absurd, and so it almost certainly won't happen. The debt limit would have to rise by trillions even under the House GOP's relatively austere budget wishes.
Some would have President Obama fight the potential for such destructive behavior with a brazen and absurd power grab of his own, using Treasury's authority to mint platinum coins of any value — granted for the purpose of producing commemorative coins — in order to pay the government's bills.
The goal, doggedly espoused by Bloomberg's Josh Barro and Business Insider's Joe Weisenthal and with high-profile support from Paul Krugman, is a good one: Trading the elimination of the White House's unlimited and unintended monetary power for the elimination of the debt ceiling. After all, there are plenty of other points of leverage to restrain spending.
Still, as wisely suggested by Tyler Cowen, Felix Salmon, Cardiff Garcia and Philip Klein , the politics of threatening to mint a $1 trillion platinum coin (or larger number of coins of smaller denominations), rather than an antidote to debt-limit hijinks, are actually pretty poisonous. Some think that a perceived willingness by the White House to go platinum might tempt the GOP to dig in, hoping that Obama will suffer political ridicule.
If Obama's goal is to end a debt-limit showdown, this may not be the best vehicle.
First and foremost, Obama should approach debt-limit discussions by taking seriously the legal right of Congress to authorize government borrowing. That's exactly what he has done so far.
The White House has said that Obama's advisers don't think he has the right to ignore the debt ceiling. That makes sense. The 14th amendment's public debt clause does not seem to provide an out because Treasury can prioritize debt service.
If Congress is determined to stop the government from borrowing more, it can do so, and there's nothing Obama should threaten to do to prevent that from happening. But, of course, Congress has no interest in a cold-turkey diet, and that is the real ace in Obama's hand.
The assumption seems to be that if and when Treasury runs out of maneuver room, it would be up to Obama not simply to implement the dramatic spending cuts (more than 30% in non-interest outlays) needed to freeze borrowing, but also to determine exactly what to cut.
Actually, the onus would be on Congress, and Obama can put it there for reasons firmly rooted in the legislative branch's constitutional prerogative to direct government spending. As Matthew Yglesias notes, "Under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974 it's illegal for the president to spend less money than Congress has appropriated."
White House authority in this realm already has been checked by the Supreme Court's rejection of the line-item veto. Obama deciding which programs to cut and by how much would be like brandishing a line-item veto on steroids, so he can rightfully and gladly punt the ball to Congress.
Faced with such impossible decisions, just imagine the votes the Senate might take on the night before the borrowing freeze takes hold:
Should Social Security be exempted? "Aye." Should Medicare be exempted? "Aye." Should spending on veterans be exempted? "Aye."
With those off the table, next the Senate logically might vote on a 50%-plus cut to all other programs, including Medicaid, defense and food stamps. "Nay."
Surely, some clever senator will call for a vote on a temporary pay cut of 50% or more for members of Congress. Any bets on whether that will pass?
Then, finally, the Senate could explicitly vote on — and reject — the idea of letting the White House determine what cuts should be made. This would be the equivalent of Congress firing a shot across the bow of the White House, warning Obama not to intrude on its spending power.
Would Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or House Speaker John Boehner offer up any proposal for distributing the program cuts? Chances are between slim and none.
All of these votes would have the symbolic value of exposing the ridiculousness of the debt limit, but they'd also carry legal import. The actions of Congress to embrace inaction would begin to undermine the legal validity of the debt ceiling — at least relative to its constitutional budgeting authority.
At that point, the White House might issue a statement with guidance from legal counsel that the Obama administration would violate the law if it slashed spending programs without guidance from Congress.
Then there are three possible options to choose from: ignoring the debt ceiling and continuing to issue new public debt; minting platinum coins; and a third option which has yet to be discussed but may be the simplest and most politically powerful option — borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund.
The White House has signaled discomfort with the possibility — very unlikely in my view — that financial markets would attach a significant premium to U.S. debt issued without the clear consent of Congress.
In reality, it would be virtually impossible to distinguish between new debt issued above the limit and existing debt that is rolled over.
Still, these concerns would suggest a White House preference for options that don't breach the debt limit: either minting the platinum coin or borrowing from Social Security, whose $2.7 trillion worth of trust fund bonds are included in the debt limit.
When looked at over the course of a year, the latter option would mean applying all of Social Security's revenue to other programs; paying Social Security benefits by drawing down trust fund bonds; and freezing interest payments on the trust fund. This would fill more than $850 billion of the roughly $1.1 trillion hole. The rest of the gap could be filled by tapping existing trust fund bonds.
Meanwhile, if it ever came to that, Congress could vote — and would surely pass — a resolution to make Social Security whole when the crisis was over.
Politically, both the platinum coin and trust fund options carry risks for the White House, but having to draw down Social Security's trust fund might shift most of the risk to Republicans and force them to lift the debt ceiling without delay. On the other hand, the end game should Treasury begin minting platinum coins is harder to predict.
So what's the right thing to do? I think that law professors Neil Buchanan of George Washington University and Michael Dorf of Cornell University, borrowing from President Lincoln, set the right standard: The president should choose the "least unconstitutional course," or as Buchanan put it in an email, "the most modest possible approach."
In their view, that course would be to ignore the debt ceiling.
Advocates of the platinum coin make a convincing case that no one would have standing to challenge the constitutionality of the platinum coin route. Yet, in deciding the wisest course, the spirit of the law matters. As Tax Policy Center director Donald Marron, a platinum coin supporter, simply puts it, "Treasury is forbidden from printing money to cover government deficits."
Every option requires breaking the law or taking on expansive powers that were not intended. I am not certain which is the right path, but I tend to think the one that creates the fewest ripples is best, and that would seem to be tapping the trust fund.
One thing that seems clear is that a debt-ceiling crisis would be less likely if Obama's pocket holds a trust fund bond rather than a platinum coin.

The Window of Beginning
Naruto sandals scuffed on the ground, sending up small clouds of dust that went swirling away into the street. Voices of children chattering loudly filled the streets, answering their mothers call for dinner, the sound of shop doors being slid shut and locked up for the night, shop-owners giving their windows a last clean and disappearing into the dark interiors to finish up inside.
The warm glow signalling the beginning of the evening stretched upon the village of Konoha. No one paid any attention to the tired young boy, and the boy never paid any attention to the cruel villages. Naruto's heart was now beginning to be sore as he watched children rushing to their mothers and older siblings. Naruto stopped and looked down at the dusty road, he was always jealous of the children who had someone who cared about them. He knew that he would be alone for the rest of his life, sure he had Kakashi, Sakura and Saskue, but it would never compare to the warmth of a mother or older sibling. He gave a heavy sigh and continued to walk to his lonely apartment, "not like I have anything else to do, anyone else to be with".
Naruto slipped his hand into his pocket for his keys. Suddenly he froze a few steps before his door, one hand still in his pocket. His empty pocket, eyes widened in shock as he desperately searched his other pockets, his jacket pockets. After a few minutes of scrambling through his pockets, his body sages as he stared at his now giant, forbidden door which refused him entry.
Naruto narrowed his eyes and looked at his windows desperately looking for a entry. After moments of looking his gaze fell upon the tiny opening in the kitchen window. He grunted annoyed as he tried to shift the catch of the window, trying to input enough strength to move it, not bend or break it. He didn't want to be back in the social office, trying to explain away why he had a broken metal catch this time, as opposed to the entire smashed window last time, and that he was quite sorry he couldn't pay for it right now.
Triumphantly, Naruto pushed open the window inwards a bit wider, then leapt lightly onto the window ledge, balancing wildly before managing to slide his feet easily through the opening. The sudden change from the bright light outside to the darkness within made him blink rapidly, forcing his eyes to adjust as he stumbled.
"Ouch!" Naruto didn't see what he'd tripped over, but he only had time to know it was something very strange, and something that shouldn't be there- a suitcase! Before he felt a second presence. Naruto barely had enough time to fight back before he gasped and found himself pinned face- first against the wall, his cheek pressed almost painfully against the wall.
Naruto heard a startled gasp from the person behind him. Before he could comprehend what happened, he was abruptly released and spun around, his back to the wall and groaned in pain and confused as his body caught up to his attacker's swift movement, he slid down into a crumpled heap the bruises and muscle spasms from his afternoon training catching up and complaining loudly.
He only vaguely felt that sudden soft cold fingers on his face, slender fingers that trembled and a continual sobbing. Blinking again, he was getting ready to resort furiously and was opening his house when he caught sight of his attacker. His mouth froze. His eyes widened a woman, a young women long, golden hair sort of like his own large bright blue eyes also title his own. Crouched before him it was obvious she just had a shower, and had slipped on a bathrobe before she had sensed his entrance. Her eyes widened a mixture of horror, of surprise, of alarm and something else, something he was puzzled about.

Barry Sullivan (stage actor)
Barry Sullivan (christened Thomas Barry Sullivan) (5 July 1821 – 3 May 1891), was an acclaimed stage actor who played many classical parts in England, Australia and America.[1]
Early life[edit]
Sullivan was born at Howard's Place,[2] Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, son of Peter Sullivan and his wife, Mary née Barry. Both of his parents were natives of Cork, Ireland, and both died when Thomas Barry was eight years old.[1]
Sullivan was then raised by his paternal grandfather in Bristol. Sullivan was educated initially at the school attached to the Catholic Church in Trenchard Street and then at the Stokes Croft Endowed school.[2] At 14 years old, Sullivan entered a lawyer's office, but, seeing William Macready in Macbeth and other parts[clarification needed], he became obsessed with the idea of becoming a great actor.[1]
Early acting career[edit]
In 1837 Sullivan joined a strolling company and at Cork was given an engagement at 15 shillings a week as a regular member of a stock company,[2] playing minor Shakespearian parts to Charles Kean's lead.[1] Sullivan had a good light tenor voice, occasionally sang in opera.[1] But his ambition was to become a tragedian.[2] In November that year he obtained an engagement with Murray's stock company at Edinburgh, at a salary of 30 shillings a week, on the understanding that he was to play "second heavy" parts. Sullivan married Mary née Amory, daughter of an army lieutenant, on 4 July 1842 and they would have two sons and three daughters.[2]
Sullivan soon began to play leading roles, in 1844 he took the part of Antonio supporting Helena Faucit in The Merchant of Venice and was Petruchio to her Katharina in The Taming of the Shrew.[2] Sullivan then went to Glasgow where he met and acted with Gustavus Vaughan Brooke; during the next seven years had engagements throughout the provinces in Scotland and England.[2] James Roland MacLaren learnt acting through being an understudy to him in the North of England.[3] Sullivan's reputation was growing, and on 7 February 1852 he made a successful first appearance at the Haymarket Theatre, London, as 'Hamlet'.[1] He was also successful as Angiolo in Miss Vandenhoff's Woman's Heart, Evelyn in Lord Lytton's Money and Hardman in Lytton's Not so Bad as we Seem.[2] Sullivan was now established as a leading actor and played principal parts during the next eight years in most of the plays of the period including Claude Melnotte in The Lady of Lyons with Helena Faucit as Pauline, and Valence in Browning's 'Colombe's Birthday' with Helena Faucit in the part of Colombe.[2]
Towards the end of 1858 Sullivan went to the United States of America, and opened in New York City on 22 November in Hamlet, followed by several others of Shakespeare's plays. Successful seasons were played at the leading cities in the United States and Sullivan returned to England 18 months later. At the St James' Theatre, London, in August 1860, Sullivan played on alternate nights, Hamlet, Richelieu, Macbeth, and Richard III, three performances being given of each play.[2]
Career in Australia[edit]
On 25 July 1862 Sullivan arrived in Victoria (Australia) aboard the City of Melbourne and was to stay for about four years, as actor and manager. Sullivan made his début as Hamlet at Theatre Royal, Melbourne on 9 August 1862.[1]
The period between 1860 and 1870 was one of the highest standards of acting seen in Australia.[2] Gustavus Vaughan Brooke was usually at his best in Australia, Joseph Jefferson was at his best and had not yet begun to restrict the range of his characters,[2] and Sullivan had the advantage, sometimes lacking later in England, of always having excellent support from his companies.[2] Sullivan's parts in Australia included Hamlet, Othello, Iago, Richard III, Macbeth, Shylock, Lear, Falstaff, Falconbridge, Charles Surface, Claude Melnotte, and Richelieu.[2] Sullivan became established as a public favourite.[2] Sullivan played his final night at the Theatre Royal on 16 February 1866.[1]
Sullivan completed a trip around the world in 1866, arriving in London early in September. From 1868 to 1870 he managed the Holborn theatre,[1] where Beverley in The Gamester was one of his most powerful impersonations.
In the next 20 years Sullivan was constantly playing in London, the provinces and in the United States,[2] he was most popular in Dublin, Cork, Liverpool and Manchester.[1] When the memorial theatre at Stratford-on-Avon was opened, Sullivan was selected to play Benedick; Helena Faucit, emerging from retirement, played Beatrice. On the following evening Sullivan appeared as Hamlet.[2] On 4 June 1887, while in Liverpool, he made his last appearance on the stage, playing Richard III.[1] Sullivan's health had been uncertain for some time and in the following year he suffered a stroke of paralysis. He was so ill in August 1888 that the last rites of his church were administered, but did not die until 3 May 1891. His wife and two sons and three daughters survived him.[1]
Sullivan was five feet nine inches (175 cm) tall[2] and had a wiry, slight figure which allowed him to play younger parts when he was middle-aged.[1] For a long period Sullivan was one of the finest actors of his period, though at times inclined to err on the robust side.[2] In Melbourne Sullivan's death resulted in lengthy obituaries; he was remembered as an actor and manager of 'more than ordinary talent, combined with considerable force of character, great tenacity of purpose, untiring industry, and a dogged application to the business of his profession'.[4]

I love these, they taste great and are good for after a workout or a quick snack. Although biting into one today I found a hair right through the middle so that had put me off buying them😔
These are absolutely fantastic! Really good for getting in over 35g of protein, have been using these for over the past month and am noticing some improved performance at the gym. I would highly recommend the Chocolate Orange Flavour, by far my favourite, I will be purchasing this over & over again! Little Tip - heat the cookies in the microwave for around 10-15seconds, melts the choc chips & reduces any after taste of the protein
Got double chocolate, couldn't finish one. Just not very appetising. Bitter, leaves a taste behind. Maybe try Chocolate Orange, since I feel the orange might disguise the taste better.
Never had these before but definately will be buying more. Going to check out the double choc and choc and orange next, but the white choc and almond was good. The white choc and almond does have a strong marzipan taste that can be a bit sickly sweet to some (personally I love that) and like most high protein based products can be quite dense/heavy, but I take my time, enjoy and wash down with a can of ice cold diet coke. Feels like a post workout treat rather than a timely protein fix. These are great to throw in a high protein top up when there is no shake or chicken breast as an option or just can't be bothered.
Ok well I have tried two flavours (white almond/double choc) now and ill continue to order the WHITE ALMOND flavour. We all know these types of items are not going to taste like a freshly baked cookie however, the WHITE ALMOND are similar to marzipan. If you like marzipan you should love these. Great mid morning/afternoon snack containing a decent amount of protein a must for anyone who likes a snack throughout the day. And again Myprotein continues to deliver an excellent service in a timely fashion and above all at a reasonable cost to the consumer.Goes Well With:Any training program..!
These are really great, they taste better than about 90& of the protein bars out there and having one with a coffee around 10am keeps me full for a long time. You're looking at 38g of protein which is a great selling point. 20g of carbs also. Rocky Road is the flavour to go for, it's got small crispies in and marshmallow to give it a nice consistency. I've used a lot of different brands but as always, MyProtein proves its value for money and a cheap effective way of keeping your protein intake high. Goes Well With:Coffee.
So far I have had 4 different flavours, all have been delicious, the flavours I have tried are: - Chocolate Orange - Rocky Road (properly nice dipped in coffee) - Chocolate Mint - Oatmeal and Raisin (great if you are not a fan of chocolate) I have mine as a mid morning snack at work, around 11am to keep me going until Lunch, the macros are really great to considering how great they taste. They are very soft though, almost like a brownie, which I love, but if you are looking for a crunch, these are not going to satisfy. A quick suggestion for the Chocolate Orange and Rocky Road flavour, top off with 50g of YooMoo vanilla frozen yoghurt, makes a nice dessert (like a cake and ice cream) on a Sunday that adds up to around 380 calories!Goes Well With:- On their own - Coffee - Frozen yoghurt
The new Rocky Road flavour is absolutely awesome. Previously tried the double chocolate ones, which were tasty but fairly dense and chewy. Rocky Road however is arguably the best tasting protein snack I've tried. The marshmallows and fruit pieces help give the cookie some variety.
The first time I had the cookie it was vile but you get used to the taste. For some reason I cannot drink protein shakes anymore as they make me feel very ill. This is a great replacement for the shake as it has so much protein in it. I eat mine after the gym in the morning for breakfast then I will have a smoothie later on in the morning. Goes Well With:A cup of green tea
tastes good and delivers a high amount of protein. Great after the gym. Recommended. Goes Well With:as a snack
Cookies and Cream are by far the best flavour they are a treat that will not have a negative effect on your healthy lifestyle! Goes Well With:Impact Whey Protein powder with milk
Great, buying for years, but not buying anymore after 25% price rise
Love the mint chocolate - please bring it back!!!!
I was expecting these cookies to be way nicer than they are. The cookies and cream flavour is alright but they are really dry and very grainy, which I guess is to be expected considering how much protein is in them. I can just about eat them if I put them in the microwave and drizzle some cream on top, which is obviously not what I anticipated I would be doing. I won't be buying again, sorry My Protein.Goes Well With:Microwave
This batch were very dry, taste was nice but dry
Love these cookies so much! chocolate mint, rocky road and orange being my favourites. Usually have them for a snack in the morning or for late night cravings! I have such a sweet tooth and these really hit the spot, they are very filling and good post workout too! with 37/38g of protein per cookie it beats having to make up a shake any day! Goes Well With:Unsweetened Almond Milk, who says you cant dip a protein cookies in some milk!?
I bought quite a variety to start with: Chocolate Mint, Rocky Road, Cookies and Cream and White Chocolate Almond. The texture is, as people have pointed out before, a bit chewy and soft - which I personally don't mind. I can just treat them as a regular cookie and don't see any disadvantage. The taste - my favourites are Rocky Road (very tasty and I love soft marshmallow-lookalikes in them! and Cookies and Cream (just a quite sweet flavor without being over the top). The mint one isn't bad either but I've tried better mint bars before. Now, I have read that you should only buy the Almond ones if you're really into marzipan and I can just stress how true it is. I like marzipan so this didn't prevent me from purchasing them, but seriously, each and every bite feels like biting into marzipan, that's too much and doesn't seem like a cookie to my taste. Overall, I will certainly eat them all as I have purchased them - my less beloved flavours usually go into my yoghurt and fit well in natural low fat one for example. Cookies n Cream and Rocky Road are handy on the go. Goes Well With:Yoghurt
I got the white chocolate flavor and oats and raisin flavor delivered last week and all I can say is I'm impressed. Compared to previous cookies I've had from 'other' companies there was less fat and carbs with a similar, enjoyable, taste. The white chocolate almond does taste exactly like marzipan, but I love marzipan so that is only a good thing! The two slight negatives to the product would be the price and the size. When you think of 300+ calories normally something with more volume comes to mind, however this can be forgiven (I guess) as it is very tasty and convenient even if it is not that satiating. Price wise it is comparable, or cheaper, than many other protein cookies, and when you consider the cost of protein it is undeniably a fair price, but at the back of my mind it is always hard to forget that a packet of supermarket cookies cost less than one of these. Goes Well With:A hot cup o tea
Another top quality product from MyProtein. Tastes good, gets you gains. All round loose product
Just had to write a review of the new flavour cookies, I bought Cookies and Cream and Rocky Road and I have to say they are amazing, taste delicious and are almost the same as normal cookies, I love them, I normally have then for breakfast as I have a very sweet tooth and love chocolate, because of the high protein content they fill me up and are really convienent when I'm on the go.Goes Well With:Big cup of coffee or tea

The Home Office is in the process of vetting half a million people to ensure there will be no breaches of security from anyone involved in the Olympic Games.
All employees, volunteers, competitors, officials and media from more than 200 countries will be screened.
A process that begun last October is now nearly two-thirds complete, with only around 100 applications so far refused, some of those on the advice of MI5. Among those remaining to be scrutinised are the extra security guards that have had to be recruited.
Tight security surrounded the torch relay in Northern Ireland after Monday's disruption. Today it will cross into the Republic, and will be paraded in Dublin.
A Home Office spokesman said: "We are undertaking stringent checks on all those seeking accreditation... We will leave nothing to chance in our aim to deliver a safe and secure Games."

Mention the name "Evo" around any car nut, and the first car to come to mind will undoubtedly be the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. But before the Japanese got their hands on the term, the Italians used it to distinguish some seriously fast variations on some already seriously fast cars. The Evoluzione tag has been slapped on everything from the gravel-munching Lancia Delta Integrale to the track-bound Ferrari FXX, the supercar-breeding 288 GTO, and various hotted-up iterations of the Mercedes-Benz 190 E to name just a few. Now, Fiat has unearthed the performance handle for the latest revision of its core product, the Grande Punto.
Unfortunately, the new Punto Evo is no fire-breathing Abarth version, it's just a humble revision of Fiat's bread-and-butter. Visually, the Punto Evo is distinguished from the Grande Punto it replaces by revised bumpers and lights, growing barely an inch in length while the other dimensions stay the same. The interior, however, has been thoroughly revised, and it features a new touchscreen info-tainment system made in collaboration with both Microsoft and Tom Tom.
And while the Punto may not be getting any new Evo-worthy powerplants, the engine range has been updated to include the company's new Multiair engine (also featured in the Alfa MiTo) that directly controls airflow and combustion rates in each individual cylinder to optimize power delivery, emissions and fuel consumption. We'll be on hand to bring you the new Punto Evo live from the Frankfurt Motor Show where it's set to debut next month, but in the meantime, you can check out the press releases after the jump and the images in the gallery below.

The Death Of The Independant Living Fund
Yesterday was quite a day for adult social services. As well as the more obvious announcements of the cuts to local authorities and the unveiling of a so-called 'Localism Bill', Maria Miller, the minister for disabled people announced that the ILF (Independent Living Fund) would be 'financially unsustainable' after 2015.
Financially unsustainable. It didn't need a whole lot of foresight to see this coming. Back in June, the ILF was closed to new applicants after running out of money – so the budget for this year lasted between April (when applications opened) until June (when they closed).
Community Care writes that
Miller said that the ILF would stay in place to fund existing users until the end of this parliament in 2015.
Its payments would most likely be transferred to councils to administer as part of personal budgets, though Miller's statement does not specify whether funding would be protected at existing levels after 2015.
And so it starts, the shaking off of responsibility of central government to provide additional support for disabled adults and the move of the responsibility for the additional funding to local authorities.
There are a few things that it is important to bear in mind at this point. The ILF is only or has been only accessed by people who are most disabled and have the absolute highest care needs. It was set up in 1988 although the rules regarding eligibility were reviewed in 1993. The purpose of the ILF was, as it's name suggests, to maintain and allow for people with high care needs to remain living independently in the community rather than the alternative which was and is residential care.
The current rules state that someone is eligible for ILF funding when input from a local authority reaches a current level of £340 per week, the ILF funding will match that amount that the local authority on a pound for pound basis.
In my current incarnation, I don't come across people who have ILF payments frequently – it has, like DLA only been available for people between 18-65 and over 65s can only claim if they had an existing award prior to their 65th birthday.
In the past though, particularly when I was in a generic adult social services team, I had a number of dealings with the ILF. On a personal level as well, my father received money via ILF.
It's worth remembering that the model for ILF payments in 1988 was revolutionary and one that has and continues to have a major impact on the progression of adult social care. The ILF gave the money for the first time, directly to the disabled adult to choose their own service providers and/or employ their own PA (personal assistant). The Independent Living Fund was very much the forerunner of the direct payment/personal budget progression and the model for both monitoring and extending budgets directly to adults with social care needs themselves was trailblazed by the ILF.
The money provided by the ILF had, of course, guidelines attached regarding what it could be used for but it was money given in addition to the very bare needs met by local authorities. It was and is money that contributes to providing a better quality of life for people with high level needs because, believe me, you don't get to £340 per week level of needs if you don't have very high level of support needs.
The difference that the ILF money made was for a carer to accompany a service user to the local shops rather than go out and do the shopping for them. It was the difference that allowed a carer to take a service user to the local swimming pool rather than relying solely on day centre services. There is no doubt in my mind that ILF money contributes precisely to quality of life differences rather than the life or death care that local authorities provided. These are the examples that are often given for 'care planning' with personal budgets provided by the local authority – the difference is the amount of money that you have in the 'pot' and the potential doubling that happened when the ILF contributed – acknowledging that those with very high care needs had.. well.. the need for care over and above the bare minimum to retain a positive quality of life living at home rather than in a residential setting.
This is my main sadness is seeing its demise. It's hard to stomach for the government but quality support and quality of life costs more money. Yes, the money has to come from somewhere but it shouldn't be a 'burden' . We, as a society, should be prepared to pay the cost of it.
I know exactly what will happen when Maria Miller shifts the burden of cost of care back to the local authorities – the levels of care provided will fall through the floor and although for some people (those currently in receipt) that money may well be protected for a period of time, for those coming up through the 'system' who don't have access to this additional support, it will create a group of people who may be living at home but on whose family the burden of care may well fall more heavily – removing the independent from the idea of independent living and replacing 'living' with 'existing'.
As Lord Morris is quoted as saying by the BBC
"This will not save money. If you make it harder for disabled people to live at home, it will cost more because more of them will have to be in hospitals and other places of full-time care.
"It will mean far more of them having to be in institutional care at far greater cost to the taxpayer."
It's so horrifically ironic that as policies shoot away into the distance taking the goal of 'personalisation' as a mantra, that the very first forerunner of that policy which was revolutionary at the time – is being put down with no evidence that there will be any central government funding to replace it.
That's not to say that the idea of the ILF needed to stay the same. I have no doubt it needed to develop – not least because I felt the age limits were at best arbitrary and at worse discriminatory - but by pushing the burden back to increasingly pressed local authorities the government has alerted us to its real intentions about the cost-saving implications of the move towards personal budgets.

I just wanted to say thankyou for writing your blog it is endlessly useful especially for someone with eds, for someone who is young and disabled, and for someone on benefits, which is a hell of alot of people (inc me! p.s.. I have eds too!) I have shown my appreciation by linking you on my blog, the link says..
The best EDS/disability blog I've ever seen, the girl deserves a medal. Totally a must-read if applying for disability benefits.

When I first started out nursing way back in 1970 they still had hospitals full of 'cripples' and 'retards' Thankfully we no longer believe those vile names are acceptable and people are people however they are. It will be criminal if the ability to live as independant a life as possible is taken away from people. Are we going to open up those horrendous special hospitals again and keep all the people safely under one roof so that they become a hidden secret that society doesn't want to know about again. No should be penalised for being outside the norm and the removal of this will do just that.

Fire Byrd,
Totally, agree.. I get pretty nervous about this stuff when I think about the nazis bumping off millions of disabled people prior to the death camps even opening by annonymous independant vote from 2 docs who never met the patients, or each other.. just a file with 2 boxes.. 2 crosses and you were done for, 1 cross and you got a couple of months then re reviewed, all on paper..noone taking anyt responsibility for the outcome, its the stage after the creepy institutions, I dont think we are going backwards to victorian thinking, more that we are going forwards into a darkness that can only occur when all the humanity taken away, noones hands have blood on them. "I pulled the trigger but not my kill as I didnt give the order"... "I gave the order but I didnt kill as I didnt pull the trigger" the ultimate in denial. I'm off to read your blog now :) have to say though, I am trying to reclaim the word cripple because I see it differently, I am more disturbed by words like disabled or handicapped or heaven forbid handy capable.. my illness doesnt feel like those things, it feels like being crippled, and I think that softened words protect the people outside of that body not the person in it, but thats totally my opinion and I totally agree used in any nasty context it is horrendous and cruel, I only ever use it in reference to myself when trying to express how I feel, never to upset anyone at all. :) x

Crossed tonguesMature
Jake knew he shouldn't have taken the last shot of sambuca.
"You can't be too surprised after all you knew the rumours about this place."
Jake blinked wondering if he listening to his conscience… after all his head was already playing tricks.
Light brows moved above sky blue eyes seeming puzzle, "hmm not much of talker now. Cat got your tongue? Smoky always love's catching mice."
"Hhh how? What?" Jake couldn't control the stutter that came from his dry mouth.
A sigh echoed around the small room, "the fire won't keep alight itself so go and collect the fallen wooden shelve in the next room."
Jake moved his legs trying to bring them back to life and thought of the new development that had entered somehow. He walked slowly from the room not wanting to turn his back until he was away. Jake was able to make out the shelf on the floor as well as other pieces of wood.
How did they enter the cottage? Was there a way out? Who were they?
Questions that needed to be answered and Jake was almost fearful of the answers.
Jake went back into the room licking his lip and swallowing finding his courage. They were still sat in the wooden chair, he could feel their sky blue eyes studying his every move as he bent to feed the fire and hold his hands out feeling the warmth.
"The door is shut." Jake stated gathering his thoughts.
"That is not a question but an observation."
Jake rolled his eyes, "how did you get in here? Who are you?"
"The door was open as it always is."
"No I was surprise to even find it open." Jake stood. "It's been shut for years and there are no windows broken…how did you get in here?"
"Through the door of course, are you lame in your head?"
"Pardon?" Even in this situation Jake was polite.
"A little slow to understand something." They informed him calmly still gazing at him.
"Enough. This cottage is not open to the public, my friends and I came up here on a dare and tired to open the door but nothing at first."
"Until the moon shone yes? The door opened and you came inside now you can't get out?" They summarised and Jake breathing deepened fearing the being that now stood in front of him.
"How do you know about the moon?"
"You will be able to leave."
Jake eyes widen searching the room again, "how?"
"At sunrise you will be able to leave." They told him. Jake looked closely at the sky blue eyes, smooth light pink skin with noticeable cheery cheeks and long pale blonde wavy hair that came to her chest. Jake stood back finally taking in their appearance and knowing that it was old…very old.
The colour drained from Jake's cheeks, his hands damp with sweat and his back hit the stone wall.
"No no no please no fucking way." Jake gasps.
"You curse an awful lot in this decade."
"We usually have good reason too. Please tell me I'm dreaming and you can't be what my drunken messed up head is thinking." Jake almost pleaded that this was the biggest plank ever to be played and a T.V company was going to appear any minute with the cameras rolling.
They smiled genteelly resting their hands in front, "your eyes are not deceiving you."
"You're a ghost?" Jake fell down the stone wall his legs unable to support him any longer.
"My name is Emilina, I'm roughly 158 years old and it is a pleasure to finally talk to the living."
