The Old Oak
The grass plain was once a humble place, blissfull and full of sightseeing creatures. Big and small, thin and wide, many flocked to see the great oak that stood high amidst the grass as well as breathe the fresh air it gave.
All that however, had changed.
The dense elongated branches of the old oak tree intertwined whilst the wind bellowed immensely, as if sudden surges of energy bounced through the air. The gathered crowd were bewildered at the sight that stood before them; a tree no longer proportional, with its thick roots grasping at the ground, clenching tight for fear of uprooting.
There was a sense of danger in the atmosphere as the clouds clashed together, directly above the old oak, causing great roars of thunder as they swirled around the centre point and coated the plains with darkness. The on looking crowd started to flee in any and every direction they could – some crawling, some dashing, some grabbed and dragged by others, a few even attempting to fly (whilst trying to maintain stability in the swirling gales, until they were far enough away that the wind had billowed out… if they managed to reach such a distance) and some merely stood there in shock and awe (the bigger and braver ones) until they too sensed a threat and made for far lands.
Even when there was no one, when every last tiny rodent or overgrown beast had vanished from sight, there was still a feeling of presence. Needless to say, it was far from welcome. All that remained in the grass plain was the old oak - clinging to the ground as it swayed in all directions… until eventually, and rather suddenly, it stopped. The clouds came to a halt, the thunder quietened, the wind blew away and yet the presence of danger stayed put. So did the darkness, and so did the tree.
That was when it happened. That was when Dohvul Soldor arrived.

From Pat Deveney's database:
The journal had regularly submissions by C.H.A. Bjerregaard (on occultism); Eugene Del Mar (on New Thought), Hereward Carrington (on parapsychology), Julia Seaton (on New Thought), "Amru" (on Theosophy), John Hazelrigg (on astral projection and astrology), Gertrude de Bielska (on astrology), Holden E. Sampson, Homer Curtis, E.W. Berridge, Theodore Schroeder (Ida Craddock's "Spiritual Joys"), etc. Despite its title, the journal seems to have avoided alchemy. It also featured several long articles by the Compte de MacGregor de Glenstrae (Samuel Liddell Mathers), on "The Real and True Rosicrucian Order" ("by its Head") and on "1917 in Exact Correspondence with the Ancient Egyptian Year." Whitty, the editor of the journal, was a Cancellarius of the Thoth-Hermes Lodge of Mathers' Alpha Omega group, and a friend of Paul Foster Case, an editor of and contributor to the journal and later the founder of the School of Ageless Wisdom and the Builders of the Adytum. Like many other journals, Azoth tried (almost certainly unsuccessfully) to raise money ($25,000) by a stock offering, to obtain 20,000 "good" subscribers. "Prospectus and Statement" 3/4 (October 1918): 241. Its final issues devoted increased space to Masonry. The journal marked the beginnings of the transformation of earlier New Thought and occult journals, which had been advocates of the practical application of the wisdom revealed or of the teachings of a particular teacher or approach, to a popular exposition of the occult in general as a topic of the general culture.

|Reviews for That's not meant to happen
| shyyetcheeky chapter 16 . 1/30/2010
This story is great...some stories are better off left without an ending so the reader can imagine what happened.
I feel so sorry that people said they hated your writing etc. People on ff sometimes can be so two-faced and mean. Just ignore them. Anyway the ending is totally up to you, maybe one day you'll get good inspiration to finish it...if not whos cares? It's your story no-one elses. Anyway I started off wanting to tell you that I really enjoyed this story and well done, I just got a little side-tracked. I think it's because when people say pretty much the same things to me, even if my writing isn't great drives me nuts because I've spent so much time and effort on it. Anyway yet again great story!
Best Wishes
| xxJacindaXX chapter 16 . 11/14/2009
first off- dont let any one of the reviewers hurt you. if they dont like your story or that chapter its their problem. DONT LET THEM GET TO YOU. im one of those people who review everything but dont write. i talk to the the authors all the time but i never have the power or willingness to start/publish a story; so i get that being an author is just plain hard and hearing reviewers saying that you do a crappy job when your doing your best lowers yourself esteem, your confidence, and then your passion for writing. one of the authors i review for had a best friend as a beta who reviewed her story everytime saying that the author was really bad. after a while she decided to quit writing and dejected by everything. i told her exactly what im telling you (plus to get rid of her so called friend). she went back to writing and told her friend off. remember this is YOUR story not the readers, yours. you create that scenery, you put in the hours and long hard thoughts to perfect the simple details that which make a story brilliant. write a sequel if you wish it. end the story if you wish it. but never give up.
| jTalley chapter 16 . 11/12/2009
What! that made no sense at all i'm sorry but i hated it what was the point of that?

| Lady Stardust Northman chapter 14 . 7/6/2009
Great chapter. About the hits and visitors thing, visitors is how many people have looked at your story or profile. Hits is how many times people have looked at it. Some people look more than once and of course different chapters makes the numbers different.

You get so used to throwing yourself in front of danger you forget what safety and home feel likeMature
I throw myself
at danger
the same way
a comet
throws itself
through space.
I place myself
at the forefront
of cliffs
and stare death
when it's underneath
my feet
in the face-
swinging my feet
over the edges
eyes closed
in the sun.
I throw myself
at death
almost like
a beggar,
that any day
might take me.
"How lonely
to be something
that nothing
wants to kill."
sleeping life off
and waking up every day
staring at the sky
walking different paths
and different lives
and different people
and at this point
it's no longer
throwing myself
in the face of death
it's walking the line
toeing it
like a tightrope
a thousand feet up
not caring
that I could slip
and fall.
It's not staring
in death's eyes
any step
could be my last.
It's sitting on the edge
of every cliff
it's walking the alleys
at two am
not caring
about the noises
or the people
it's "If you fall, you will die!"
and laughing
and sitting, climbing anyway
I'm not so sure
if I'm doing it
because I want to
or more so
because I can,
because people
wouldn't stop me
no matter
where I went
that I'd come back.
These days
it's part of who I am,
arms out
taking the wind
like I have wings,
as if I fly
with danger
ruffling my feathers
the same way
the wind
moves the leaves.
These days
I throw myself
at danger
as I regain
the rest of my emotions,
as I get back to
who I used to be,
as I become
who I'm meant to be
I throw myself
at danger
to bring my emotions back
to bring my head back
to bring myself back-
It takes
a lot of time
to come back
from searching,
even longer
when you're home
and it wasn't home then
but it's home now,
and you're searching-
home became home
because of different eyes
different voices
different people
home became home
because things clicked into place
and maybe
it isn't permanent
but god
it's good enough
it's close enough
I throw myself at danger
because these days
it's safer than ever
and I'm not there yet
but I'm closer
than I used to be,
not waiting
under streetlights
or tossing myself
in the path
of asteroids,
for the same sky of stars
that I fell from.

You've lived a life that was a nice blend of good and evil
Reflecting briefly on your life can't remember doing anything too evil, though lord knows you weren't a saint....
"Lord knows, eh? Lets stop this train of thought, I don't want to go down that road...." you think to yourself. All in all you have lead a pretty average life. Reassuring yourself of that, you take a deep breath, open the door and march in.
Simon is sitting at a desk in the center of the room. The room is completely unadorned and has no other means of entrance or exit other than the door you just...
Now where did that door go?
Your head swims and panic starts to take hold of you. Gulping for air you try to calm yourself- after all, if a dead girl can walk and talk then a door can disappear.
You look back and Simon gives you a knowing smile. You get the distinct impression that he's seen reactions like yours before.
"Have a seat friend, and lets get started," he says.

International Widows Day takes place every year on 23rd June. It was initially launched by the Loomba Foundation at the House of Lords in London in 2005. The date, 23 June, was chosen because on this day, Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, Lord Loomba's mother and the inspiration for the Foundation, became a widow.
International Widows Day (IWD) is a global day of focus for effective action to raise awareness and help widows and their children around the world who are suffering through poverty, illiteracy, HIV/AIDS, conflict and social injustice. In 2015 there are an estimated 259 million widows and 585 million children in the world, together with their family members the number is well over a billion people. Through no fault of their own they lose their husband or father and continue to suffer for the rest of their lives through stigma, discrimination and poverty.
On the 22nd December 2010 at the 65th UN General Assembly, the United Nations recognised 23rd June as International Widows Day.
Why the UN recognised International Widows Day:
Why the UN recognised International Widows Day – 23rd June
- 259 million widows and over 585 million children suffer in silence worldwide
- Over 115 million widows live in poverty struggling to survive
- Many of these women and their children are malnourished, exposed to disease, and subjected to extreme forms of deprivation
- Widowed women experience targeted murder, rape, prostitution, forced marriage, property theft, eviction, social isolation, and physical abuse
- 1.5 million widows' children in the world die before their fifth birthday
- Children of widows face horrors such as child marriage, illiteracy, loss of schooling, forced labour, human trafficking, homelessness and sexual abuse
- HIV/AIDS, armed conflict and poverty are amongst the most prolific causes of widowhood
- Persecution and abuse against widows and their children is not a crisis limited to the developing world, large groups of widows can also be found in Europe, including Russia and Central Asia
- Widows in developed countries face social isolation and commonly live with severe insecurity and poverty due to lack of affordable health care and employment
Take Positive Action!
Visit our How to Get Involved page to find out the different ways in which you can help widows.
Any donation has a far reaching effect as it not only helps widows and their children but also family members who come to rely on the husband as the sole breadwinner. Widows therefore face an uphill task in dealing with the stigma, prejudices and ill-treatment as well as the harsh economic reality that they need to earn money to survive!!
If you wish to make a donation you can also visit our fundraising pages directly to make a donation:

Raquel's story
Raquel is 21 year old, single, and a studious young woman who wants to achieve her dream and that of her parents, which is to manage to be a professional and for this she has chosen to study for a degree in business administration. She began her studies three years ago and still has two more years until she is done. She began her studies very enthusiastically, it is a topic which she likes and it interests her a lot since in the future she would like to form her own company. One of the problems which she has is when she needs to make the monthly payments since it is a requirement to be up to date on the payments in order to be evaluated, and her greatest concern is that her parents will not be able to come up with the money. It is for this that the received loan will relieve her a lot since she will be able to pay off the entire cycle of studies and be able to study in peace.

Should I take music in High School? Aidan Reckamp
What are my options
Take music
Don't take music
Take private lessons
Teach myself
Pros & Cons
If I take music, it will be a nice skill to have, but I might have to give up another hobby. If I don't take music, I will be missing something I enjoy, but I will have more time for other activities. If I study myself, I won't progress as fast, but I will still progress. And if I take lessons, i can still improve, but not as fast.
The information I need
How difficult is it?
What will I have to give up?
Will it get in the way of my other priorities
Should I continue doing music?
The Decision
I have decided to take lessons.
It will allow me to keep doing music, keep learning, and it won't take up too much time or academic space
Music (Guitar) is something that I enjoy, but should i continue to study it in high school?

Kyle paused in mid-sentence.
"What's wrong?" Rain laid her hand on his arm, gentle and comforting.
"My God," He gasped, his head falling into his hands.
I was causing havoc in his mind, ripping up his old losses and sorrows, stirring up a hailstorm of grief.
Kyle's body shuddered, his face buried in the palms of his hands. Rain watched as a few lonesome tears dripped through the spaces between his fingers.
But I didn't care. I didn't care about her. Hell, at the time, I didn't really care for Kyle even.
All I did care about was making sure he felt my pain. That he understood what I was going through.
And I did so, the only way I knew how.
Memories drifted around me, smoke on the wind in the dark recesses of his mind. Faces of the long dead - Kyle's father who had died in a car accident. His brother, MIA in Afghanistan - stared at me with unseeing eyes as they met their fate over and over again.
I plunged my hand into an unsettling image of Rain dead and bloodied at Kyle's feet. One of his many fears was that something would happen to her.
If I so wished, I could make this fear become reality.
With every ounce of strength and sheer willpower I had left, I reached out through Kyle's emerald eyes, plunging my free hand into Rain's sapphire ones. For a moment - just a moment - I relished the sensation of another mind, someone different from the dusty cavaties of Kyle's imagination.
And then I wrenched, clawed, and bit until I could taste blood.
Kyle stood. Rain lay at his feet. Blood stained her white blouse, spilling onto the pavement beneath her. Her glassy eyes were fixated on his face, an unsaid plea frozen on her lips.
It had happened all too fast. He had begun to feel Cassandra doing something. Something deadly. She had reached out to Rain's mind and strangled it. The blood on her blouse had spilled from her mouth.
It played over and over in Kyle's mind like a broken record. Rain choking, blood frothing on her lips. Gurgling sounds bubbling up from her throat as she clutched his jacket. And then, she fell off the bench, her head cracking upon the paved path.
"You've gone way too far this time Cassandra," Kyle whispered, almost unaware of the small crowd of people gathered around Rain's body, texting or talking into cell phones frantically - why call 911 when she was already dead?
A venomous voice responded, echoing in his head until all other sounds were drowned in it.
No Kyle. You went too far. You fell in love....

Top Traveller Review
Wengen rocks
For people who like skiing, winter and wonderful mountains, Wengen is the favourite destination. From Tracy's home, the walk takes 5minutes to catch next skilift.
To get to the village, the walk takes about 15minutes. If we are in a hurry, we always can call Rüedu the taxidriver - a real legend of the Berner Oberland.
We came the last two years to Tracy, and we have already booked the appartment for 2017. Any questions?

Tracy Willmott purchased this chalet in 2010
Why Tracy Willmott chose Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau
We purchased the property because of the locations, a short walk from the main centre of Wengen, the close proximity to the Lauberhorn finish area and Innerwengen chair lift.
The beautiful location and convenient position of the chalet.
What makes this chalet unique
The chalet is situated in a lovely part of Wengen called Schiltwald, with very pleasant neighbours and a lovely atmosphere.

From the Owner
"We purchased the property because of the locations, a short walk from the main centre of Wengen, the close proximity to the Lauberhorn finish area and Innerwengen chair lift. The beautiful location and convenient position of the chalet."
Activity and Interests
A 2010 review of the the top 10 best ski resort views in the world said of Wengen 'It is one of the worlds most spectacular regions. The views from almost every point in Wengen are awesome in their majesty.' The ski area of Wengen is where the Lauberhorn World Cup downhill ski races and a summer walking/climbing resort. The village sits at 4180 ft (1274m) below the massive peaks of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. The highest train station in Europe at 11333 ft!
Wengen is not new, the area around Wengen has been visited and inspired by many famous people - Mendleson, Wagner, Byron amongst them. Byron composed his poem Manfred captivated by the view of the Jungfrau from Wengenalp. Turner painted the Stubach falls in Lauterbrunnen possibly due to the beauty of the sight of the water turning to mist and glinting in the sun as it falls nearly 1000ft. This is the 12th highest waterfall in the world. The area is a World Heritage Site - the only Swiss ski area that is - it is stunning.
Other Activities: hiking, climbing
Ski: There are three grades of piste In this area - blue, red and black. The blues are nice 'cruisy' runs like the green gradings you might find in France and can be often be summer roads. The reds are also quite relaxing with only a few blacks. There is also plenty of off-piste skiing and some lovely tree-lined routes lower down, an ideal area for bad weather skiing in trees . A great snowpark is at First for the tricksters amongst you. Generally the area is very easy to navigate with all slopes from Mannlichen and Kleine Scheidegg and the 'First' area heading toward Grindlewald, where cable cars or trains bring you back up the mountain. Over on the Murren side there is plenty of great skiing and again, here is the famous 'James Bond' Piz Gloria revolving retsuarant, with train or cable cars allowing you to return even after the pistes have closed. It is rare to find a big queue for any lift. There are also some great sledging runs, including 15kms from Bussalp down to Grindlewald.

Edmonton Condo Fire Forces Fort McMurray Family To Evacuate Again
A Fort McMurray family has been forced out of their home for the second time after a fire spread through an Edmonton condo complex.
Eighteen residents fled their apartments after 4 a.m. on Monday when flames were spotted in a building in the southern Edmonton community of Summerside, according to CTV News.
For Ashley Kelly, her 11-month-old son, mom and brother, the blaze was a terrifying repeat of the massive wildfires that raged in Fort McMurray in May. The inferno forced her family and more than 88,000 of the city's residents out of their homes.

— Nicole Weisberg (@NWeisbergCTV) June 6, 2016
"I guess when I heard [my mother] scream 'there's a fire,' just pure panic," Kelly told Global News, recalling what it felt like to wake up to the smell of smoke.
Only one unit in the building was destroyed, but all eight have water damage from the firefighters' attempts, the Edmonton Journal reported.
Kelly's family will be staying with other relatives in Edmonton while they figure out their next steps.
Some Fort McMurray families were allowed to begin re-entry into the city last week, but residents of a few badly damaged neighbourhoods may have to wait months until their communities are deemed safe.

Speaking of the sly Mr. Fox… Ubuntu, the vegetarian restaurant next to the Napa yoga studio where he made his name, and wherefrom he departed last year about this time, is still chugging along quite nicely. Under the helm of executive chef Aaron London, who trained under Fox, the place has weathered the loss of its original star, and Michael Bauer gave his stamp of approval last summer, renewing the restaurant's three stars. Today Food Gal's Carolyn Jung admits she never dined there during Fox's tenure, but she says the dishes she recently had were all as vivid as "a Versace fashion show on a plate," and "the flavors are shockingly bold, developed and complex."
See a series of photos that she was kind enough to share with us by clicking on the slideshow.

Yvonne Turner carried out tests on a jacket and cardigan siezed from the home of suspect Gary Dobson after the murder in April 1993.
Ms Turner told the court she had muddled the case reference number with a different robbery case and wrote the wrong number on the Dobson jacket file.
She later wrote the correct number over the top of the wrong one.
"I was not concentrating and I was not focused at that stage when I wrote the case number but I clearly got to grips with the case and made the correction," she said.
But she also wrote in October 1993 on her notes of the examination of the cardigan and the jacket "no tapings made" in reference to tapings of possible fibres on the garments.
By the time the case was reviewed in August 1995 in preparation for an ultimately unsuccessful private prosecution by the Lawrence family the tapings were in existence. But Ms Turner said she did not know when the tapings had been made.
"Either way it seems you have made a mistake," said Mark Ellison QC, prosecuting.
"Yes," she replied.
However Mr Justice Treacy intervened to suggest that regardless of what date the tapings were taken the evidence of what was found remained unaffected.
A cold case review in 2007 found one billion to one DNA evidence of a minute trace of Stephen's blood on the jacket collar, the court heard.
There was also allegedly a fibre on the cardigan which could have come from Stephen's clothing.
But the intial forensic examination in 1993 only found "weak" evidence.
The court has heard that the case against Dobson and co-defendant David Norris is based on the new scientific evidence.
Defence lawyers have attacked the possible contamination of the evidence seized from the defendants' homes and stored in the same disused police cell as Stephen's exhibits. The case continuesReuse content

I receied yesterday your kind favour of 29 Novbr. and 8th December, I had a few lines from you on monday I got my Letter to day to myself, I believe I shall not venture to communicate it, the President will be very angry with Some of his Neighbours, if through their means we lose so good a man as is now in our power to Settle, the judgement of those in opposition is weak, I would Sooner take the opinion of Gains, with regard to the merrit of a preacher than either of them. I do not know what their objections are, Spear ought to know that the Scriptures combine the Gosple with the Law. I fancy mr B s objection are not much more forcible. I think Mr Whitman ought not to decline merely on account of those persons who all of them, I have not a doubt will be conciliated by a prudent conduct. to mr Flint there was an obstinate intemperate opposition from a certain quarter which I always condemned, and tho I did not like mr Flint so well as mr Whitman as a preacher, yet both the President and I determined to Sit down quietly with him if he had accepted the call of the people. I have a regard for and Love my Neighbours but I can not but condemn their conduct on this occasion and look upon it as mere obstinancy to make themselves of concequence. poor Mrs Hall & her Husband are both dead. they left a Child, but for some reason I cannot devine what, her Brother will not let me, or any of the Family find it or see it, tho on mr Blacks account and from the regard I had for Mrs Hall I have taken some pains to find it, and know how it was situated. I have written to Mrs Black respecting it—
Mrs Smith is gone back to East Chester determined to wait there the arrival of the col. We had a Letter from him this week. he was then at Fort Stanwick on his way to East Chester he Says it was dated 29th november—it was directed to Thomas Supposing him, private Secretary to the President
We have not any late Letters from London, I presume Mr Adams is gone to Berlin I had a Letter from Thomas dated the 10 of Sepbr. Thomas Speaking of his new Sister Says, "She is indeed a most lovely woman, and in my opinion worthy in every respect of the man for whom She has with So much apparent Cheerfulness renounced father and mother kindred and Country to unite her destinies with his" this is a great deal for Thomas to say.
I inclose to you Some remarks from Fennos paper upon some of Baches lies and abuse and a strip of paper containing Baches round assertion that the observations printed in the Boston Centinel upon the Sermon of the Bishop of Norwich were "positively known" to proceed from the pen of the Duke of Braintree as he Stiles the President. if this has not been printed in any of our papers, let it be sent to the Mercury to insert, that the world may see what bold and daring lies these wretches are capable of. Yet when calld upon for proof, they have not a word to offer. the wretch who is supposed to have written this for the Aurora is a Hireling Scotchman Cambel by name, who fled from England for publishing libels against the Government, and has been employd by the Jacobins here to excite a spirit of opposition to the Government. who the writer of those remarks upon the Bishops Sermon was is as well known to the Pope of Rome, as to the president scarcly a day passes but some Such Scurility appears in Baches paper, very often unnoticed, and of no concequence in the minds of many people, but it has like vice of every kind a tendency to corrupt the morrals of the common people. Lawless principls naturally produce lawless actions,—I have not heard from your son since I wrote you last, I am glad to learn that Mrs Greenleaf is like to get rid of her complaint by a collection of the cause of it to one point, I dare say She will find herself better—Miss Alleyne is gone to Levingstone Manor to pass the winter with her Sister. mr G f is yet confined, tho I believe he hopes soon to be liberated. The vice President is come and dines here to day with [3]0 other Gentleman—
Remember me kindly to mr Cranch and respectfully to mrs Welch. tell cousin Betsy I will send her an old Maids cap that will never be out of fashion—
Love to mrs Norten and family. how much charigned shall I feel if you write me that mr Whitman has given his answer in the Negative. I hate Negatives when I have Sit my Heart upon any thing—half the year I must sit under as strong Calvinism—as I can possibly Swallow and the other half—I do not know what is to come
my paper reminds me to close, and / my company that I must dress for dinner. yours most / affectionatly
A Adams

It may not be easier to identify sound credit risks today, but retailers certainly have more opportunities — and customers are taking advantage of that.
A TransUnion report released Tuesday indicates that December typically sees a doubling in the amount of private-label cards opened by consumers, and this number has climbed incrementally each of the past few years. This should come as no surprise, nor should the inevitable news that follows the expansion of credit — an increase in debt and defaults.
"The number of consumers with retail card credit jumped from 123.7 million in December 2014 to 124.8 million in December 2015," a TransUnion press release indicated. "As of Q3 2016, the number of consumers with retail cards grew to 125.3 million and will likely grow substantially during this year's holiday season."
Consumer card balances also increased. TransUnion projects an average balance on store cards of $1,768 this December, up from $1,725 a year ago, and $1,648 in 2014. Defaults are likewise on the rise, projected to hit 1.4%, up from 1.3% in 2015, and 1.21% in 2014.
Online, the phenomenon is similar to in-store, with one important change. "Online retailers can preapprove you while you're shopping," said Nidhi Verma, senior direct of financial services industry insights and research at TransUnion. "This is great for issuers."
The virtual gift card market is said to be $160 billion and growing rapidly, but TransUnion doesn't track it specifically. Another option, common elsewhere in the world but still new (or new again — ask your grandmother) in the U.S., is splitting payments into installments using one's existing credit card. SplitIt is a leader in this area. Point-of-sale financing is available from Affirm and FinanceIt.
There is no shortage of ways to get credit this holiday season — the question, as always, is getting the right credit to the right customer at the right time.Like This Post

Pypes HGC for JKU
Reviewed By Daniel W (Largo, FL) Reviewed for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler —4/13/2017 3:45 AM
I have a 2014 JKU, baught the Pypes High Ground Clearance exhaust with a aFe cool air intake. Absolutely love the sound, deep and throaty sound. When you lay on the gas you get a loud sound and when your cruising at speed the sound is tamed. Still able to talk in the vehicle during normal acceleration. With this combination, DEFINITELY noticed a great improvment in power and MPGs. Would absolutle recemmend.
Good purchase
Reviewed By Todd H (Magnolia, DE) Reviewed for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler —3/31/2017 9:42 AM
This is a nice sounding exhaust. You will hear some interior resonance so if you don't want some noise, stick with your stock exhaust. I bought this with a 20% first time buyers promo through Auto Anything and found a $50 rebate from Flowmaster. All said and done I paid less than $400. I did have some problem with installation. Took a while to get clearance next to frame and top of spring coil mount.

Jacob's killer pad & other thoughts
That finale was breath-taking. Here are my thoughts (it's long-winded but brilliantly written, I promise):
- Jacob and unnamed man are brilliant additions. I hope they both return in 3/4 of a year (derp!).
- Locke is dead! Nameless guy has been using his form! This brings up many points: a) I thought Terry O'Quinn's turn as an uber-confident Locke was actually laying it on a bit thick, UNTIL I realized he has been playing a completely different person lately. If you watch his performance with that in mind, it's an astonishing and thoroughly conceived portrayal. Even his mannerisms have been affected by the change. b) Who will play nameless guy next season? Will he remain in Locke or appear as himself? We'll see in 9 months (gorf!)
- I have never been so utterly wiped clean of skepticism as I was last night. This show answered SO MANY QUESTIONS, and then it expanded the story once again. More importantly though, that episode took so many of our questions and all the conflicts and stories we've seen so far, and made them seem almost petty and inconsequential. I say this in the best way possible of course! I think Jacob and Friend's chessly black and white clothes were a great way to summarize the situation we are in: two men, beyond anything we've seen thus far, are controlling destinies and lives like so many pawns on a board. A greater struggle has been alluded to for years and now we will get it, in a little under 40 weeks (ZANG!)
- In a similar vein, I put up a little poll yesterday about WHH vs WHWH (What Happened Won't Happen). It was a tight race, with WHH squeaking out the victory. Of course, we really didn't get any kind of confirmation about who was actually right, but I am not too bothered by that. In fact, if I were to poll again, knowing what I know now, I think would put up a third option: "Does it even matter?", or DIEM to us internet hipsters. This option wouldn't be for those who think our petty squabbling is useless, but for those who believe the larger picture will drown out everything we've seen so far. FOR EXAMPLE: How small does the Dharma Initiative look now?? What a silly bunch of hippies! I myself am a DIEM convert, and can't wait to see how history is completely obliterated, and how it affects our little lovable chess pieces. This will all begin to happen on the NEXT NEW EPISODE OF LOST, which starts in just around 300 days (PANKEY!)
- I found it pretty hilarious that Richard showed Ben and Flocke this secret rock entrance to Jacob's lair, and as soon as they got in there, the camera revealed this humongous skylight in the top of his house. So much for being secretive! Will Jacob get a screened-in porch? We shall see in roughly 7200 hours (GERTRUDE!)
- Sayid will live. Poor Juliet, untouched by Jacob, has gone to TV pilot heaven. What a tragic figure she was, even before her death! Well at least we still get to see more of that completely 3 dimensional character Kate (cough) in just over 432,000 minutes (WHY!??!!?)
- Other quick notes now that I've run out of units of time: Phil is dead (yay!), as are Dharma Henchmen #1-15, and possibly everyone else. I was really hoping to see Radzinsky die, but it's comforting to know he'll blow his head off soon enough.
- Bernard and Rose are awesome! I howled at Bernard's wild man entrance. I would be satisfied with that as a conclusion to their tale. They aren't interested in all of the BS, so they're chilling, happy as mangy, feral clams.
- Ilana and Co have been alive for a while as well. Maybe as long a Jacob and his Unnamed Murderer-to-Be. I think Ilana was slowly dealing with leprosy in her flashback, unable to die from it. I like Bram, what a big galoot. Also I like the revelation of Locke's corpse. The camera move mimicked the end of Season 4. Very nice!
- I hope that there is a couple out there, who, in the excitement of finishing the season, had wild, crazy sex right afterwards. I hope they get pregnant and allow the fetus to gestate and grow to term. I hope they have this child the day before the next new episode of Lost airs, and are able to sit down with their new bundle of joy, and show it how amazing the world can be. I hope they name the baby Vincent (boy or girl).
- Well, that's it, sorta. I guess I need to re-connect with friends now. I can't speculate about hippos and Moses all summer. It would KILL ME. I say this of course, knowing full well I'll be back, theorizing away like some looney, trying to fill in each of the 25,920,000 Lost-free seconds I have until Season 6 (AAAAAHHHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT SECONDS!!! NOOOOOOOOO!)
- - - Please write as much as you want. I've got time.

Auburn, Ala.--For defensive line coach Rodney Garner and the Auburn Tigers, the goal heading into the 2016 season is a simple one in theory, but easier said that done. With plenty of talent and depth to help the defense take a big step forward, Garner said their goal is to take their performance to the next level.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to work with these guys," Garner said. "I definitely think there's a lot of skill, a lot of talent there. We've got to embrace the process of what it's going to take to play at a high level, a championship level. I think we've got to develop a singular purpose where it's all about Auburn. It's not about individualism, we've got to put Auburn first.
"We've got to go out there every single day with a purpose in mind that we're trying to get better together, collectively," the former Auburn player said. "We have to be a united force, that we're not going to splinter the first time we hit adversity because adversity comes.
"We have got to be able to stay together and if we're going to be one of the pillars or rocks that's going to build this team then we've got to put them through the fire to make sure they're not going to splinter the first time they hit a rough spot."
With veterans such as Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson to lean on up front along with returning starter, redshirt sophomore Dontavius Russell, and seniors such as Devaroe Lawrence and Maurice Swain, Garner has a strong group of older players to build around.
Montravius Adams (1) celebrates a sack vs. Texas A&M. The senior is expected to be a key performer for the 2016 Tigers after seeing major playing time the previous three season.
When you factor in sophomores like Jeff Holland , Byron Cowart and Andrew Williams, true freshmen Marlon Davidson, Derrick Brown and Antwuan Jackson, as well as junior college transfer Paul James, the challenge every day on the practice field is to play your best because someone else is waiting to take your reps. Garner noted that is a huge motivating factor and something that can only help that defensive line.
Maurice Swain (90) is in his second season with the Tigers.
"I think competition is always really good because it definitely creates more accountability," Garner said. "It's accountability to one another too because they know 'I can't really afford to go out there and have a bad day, especially when I've got a guy competing for the same position that has equal talent and could be just as good and just as productive.' It makes you bring our 'A' game. "
Not only does competition work to improve the players individually, Garner said that push makes for more players that are able to play. That means more depth overall and more chances for playing time, something that is always a good thing when you talk about the defensive line.
"I like it," Garner added of the competition. "I think it improves morale because they know that 'hey, if I go out and work hard and improve and if I'm a productive player and I'm not making mistakes and I can play at a high level, a championship level, then I'm going to play'. At the same time if I'm not performing I'm not going to play. At this level we video everything. The eye in the sky don't lie. What you put on tape, that's your resume."
Auburn's defensive linemen and the rest of their teammates face a challenging opening game on Saturday as No. 2 ranked Clemson visits Jordan-Hare Stadium for an 8 p.m. CDT kickoff.

LEGASPI, Philippines (AFP) – Typhoon Hagupit tore apart homes and sent waves crashing through coastal communities across the eastern Philippines on Sunday, creating more misery for millions following a barrage of deadly disasters.
The typhoon roared in from the Pacific Ocean and into remote fishing communities on Samar island on Saturday night with wind gusts of 210 kilometres (130 miles) an hour, local weather agency Pagasa said.
The wind strength at landfall made Hagupit the most powerful storm to hit the Philippines this year, exceeding a typhoon in July that killed more than 100 people.
"Many houses, especially in the coastal areas, were blown away by strong winds," Stephanie Uy-Tan, the mayor of Catbalogan, a city on Samar, told AFP by phone on Sunday morning.
"Trees and power lines were toppled, tin roofs were blown off and there is flooding."
Fearful of a repeat of last year when Super Typhoon Haiyan claimed more than 7,350 lives, the government undertook a massive evacuation effort ahead of Hagupit that saw millions of people seek shelter.
Hopes of avoiding a mass disaster were raised when Hagupit's maximum wind gusts dropped sharply to 170 kilometres an hour, with sustained winds of 140 kilometres an hour, on Sunday morning.
There were no confirmed casualties as of 4pm (0800 GMT), authorities in Manila said.
However Hagupit was forecast to take three days to cut across the Philippines, passing over mostly poor central regions, and authorities were still preparing for worst-case scenarios.
The government warned of storm surges up to five metres (16 feet) high in some areas, flash flooding, landslides and winds strong enough to tear apart even sturdy homes.
In the capital Manila which has a population of 12 million, authorities cancelled classes for the start of the week amid forecasts of heavy rain across the city on Monday.
Tens of millions of others live in the typhoon's path, including those in the central Philippines who are still struggling to recover from the devastation of Haiyan, which hit 13 months ago.
Haiyan was the strongest storm ever recorded on land, with winds of 315 kilometres an hour. It generated tsunami-like storm surges that ravaged entire towns.
In Tacloban, one of the cities worst-hit by Haiyan, palm-thatch temporary houses built by aid agencies for survivors of last year's typhoon had been torn apart, vice mayor Jerry Yaokasin told AFP.
However there was no repeat of the storm surges that did the most damage during Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda.
"There is a collective sigh of relief. The initial assessment is that there are no casualties. We were better prepared after Yolanda, up to 50,000 people were packed in evacuation centres," Yaokasin said.
"But the transitional shelters made of nipa (palm thatch) were blown away. Our biggest challenge is how to provide for those who were displaced because of that."
In the eastern region of Bicol that was due to be hit throughout Sunday and Monday, hundreds of thousands were huddling in schools, churches and other official evacuation centres.
In Legazpi, a major city in Bicol, ocean sprays more than one-metre high crashed above the city's seawall and fierce winds roared on Sunday morning, ahead of the main typhoon front.
"We're terrified the water will rise up. This is the nearest safe place, so we came here," Karen Baraham, an ice cream vendor who lives in a creekside slum, told AFP as she soughtshelter in a politician's three-storey office.
The Philippines endures about 20 major storms a year which, along with regular earthquakes and volcano eruptions, make it one of the world's most disaster-plagued countries.
