Here is my very first fanfic. Enjoy! :D
Chapter One: Darkness' Loving Embrace
"Revenge is my lifeblood. To see it in action is what sustains me."
-Blood Claw
Gazing around, the tomcat took in the sight of the dark, menacing trees that enclosed around him, undisturbed by the dark aura that they emitted. In fact, he seemed to welcome it. Stepping forward, stiff black grass crunched and cracked underneath his pads as he made his way to the middle of the black clearing. Rearing up on his hind legs, the tomcat leapt on top of the smooth, round boulder, stabilizing his footing.
A sharp, strong breeze from the western side of the thick clearing whipped at the dark trees, ruffling and buffeting the leaves viciously in all directions, making the trees whisper violently. The large tomcat sat back on his haunches, seizing the opportunity to rest his sore legs after the long toil up the savage incline. The breeze ruffled his thick pelt softly as he took a deep breath, feeling a relaxing sensation well up in his chest, spreading down his back as he let out a deep sigh. Stretching his toned shoulders, he lowered himself to the flat area of the smooth boulder, tucking his paws comfortably underneath his bushy mane.
Funny how a cat can grow tired of this place.
The tabby tom chuckled at the thought.
Waking up in the same place every passing day, right here.
He gazed at the trees that loomed eerily around him. A pang of sadness pricked his paws.
Can never be more painful.
But this is the place where all the greatest of cats go!
A small voice rebuked him.
Power, Fame, Ambition. These are the things you owned in your temporary life! What more can you ask for?
The last words sounded like a challenge. And yet, he felt there was something missing. Something important.
But what is it?
He clawed the boulder in frustration.
What is it that I was missing?
The small voice spoke fiercely again.
You are not missing anything! Look around you, this is the place where the greatest cats go! The Dark Forest. Anything else are too weak to have ambitions. Even that stinking little kittypet doesn't deserve leadership over ThunderClan.
It added coldly.
You are going to be having your revenge soon. Just be patient.
Another voice managed to seep it's way inside his head.
But how long can you keep living a life full of revenge and contempt for others? Ask yourself, isn't there a better way to live it?
The second voice added strictly.
The previous life gave you the chance to see it, but what did you end up doing? That's right, you ended up lying in the pool of your own blood. You wasted your life for selfish gain.
The last words sliced through like an icy claw. He flinched at the thought.
It isn't selfish if you bask in power's favour.
The first voice defended itself.
There are two ranks that divide the rest of the cats: the strong and the weak. The ambitious and the inferior. You choose to become one or the other. But in this case, you chose to be amongst the strong. The ones with burning ambition. There is nothing to regret when you choose that path.
But why are you feeling an emptiness just moments ago?
The second voice challenged.
An emptiness that felt like a great void in your mind? Surely you are longing for something that you never felt in your previous life.
But what is it?
The large tabby gritted his teeth in anger.
Tell me! I'm tired of the riddles that are weaving like vines in my mind!
That was up to you to find out.
The second voice chipped in.
If only you still lived amongst the Clans.
The tomcat curled his lips back in a snarl.
Why do you have to make me regret it? Why make things more difficult than they are now for me?
The second voice ignored his attacks.
You were given great gifts. Rare talents by the cats of StarClan themselves. The gift to lead the Clans into a new era, a new age! Not for the worst but for the better. But what did you do? You used it for your own selfish gain.
Stop! Just stop!
The tabby screwed his eyes shut, his claws digging deeper into the boulder. Pain flooded his chest as he shook his head violently.
The voice continued mercilessly.
None of those things should've happened to you. None of it! You're destiny was never meant to be in this stinking forest! No, yours held more promise than that!
You will have your revenge soon. You promised it to yourself, remember?
The first voice broke through.
All those who broke your grasp on your ambitions will suffer your wrath. You have an army of followers at your disposal, and they have sworn their loyalty to you! You will feel your claws touch his fur once again and this time nothing will stand in your way. Time will come when you can shred him apart to your heart's desire!
The voice inspired burning anger.
That fox-hearted kittypet doesn't deserve to live. It's his turn to lie in the pool of his own blood!
He should be.
The tabby tomcat thought darkly, feeling an intense heat stir and move around his whole body.
Or it could be you. Again.
a different voice spoke.
Instinctively, the large cat immediately jerked into a sitting position, straining his ears to make out the origin of the sound. The fur along his spine bristled upright while he unsheathed his long, black claws, gazing around with eyes narrowed to see if the intruder revealed himself. He gaped his jaw and drew in large amounts of air, hoping to detect it's scent but to his surprise, he found none. But his instincts told him that he wasn't alone. Not anymore.
The tabby tomcat squared his solid shoulders, dropping into an attack crouch. "Who are you?" Narrowing his eyes, he scanned the clearing. Fresh blood and oxygen pumped through his muscles, readying them in case the time of attack came.
Keep your fur on.
The mysterious voice echoed around the circle of swishing black trees.
Just calm down.
The tomcat dug his razor-sharp claws deeper into the black soil. "Show yourself or you risk getting your poor hide shredded." He hissed menacingly.
But may I ask you,
the voice continued.
do you know where I really am?
"I'm bound to know soon." He answered back without fear. "One reason I can't scent you is because the wind is blowing in your direction. I can shred you without fear of being killed but I'm giving you a chance to show yourself."
Big words they are.
the mysterious voice remarked playfully.
Well, if you've got the guts to, then go ahead and find me. Let's see if you can.
"For the last time, show yourself and we might just avoid a useless fight."
Well, if you insist then.
the voice ended, still a little playful.
"But just remember," the tomcat pulled his lips back in a snarl. "if you even think of attacking me, you've got the wrong cat to deal with."
I'll keep that in mind.
Sensing a major change in the atmosphere around him, the tomcat felt the force of a gaze scorching his back. Pivoting around, he caught the sight of a glowing cat, a cat whose pelt gleamed and sparkled beautifully like the stars of the night sky, standing a few fox-lengths away from the large boulder he rested on. Patterns of gray stripes, blotches, specks and swirls ran down the back of the slim figure, with distinctive neon fur tracing down the middle of the head to the tail, following the position of the spine. He found himself drawn to the ocean-blue, unblinking eyes of the entity that stood before him. He attempted to move forward. but a ghostly paw rooted him firmly to the spot. The entity stepped forward, it's shoulders rippled with immense authority and power as it closed the distance between the boulder and itself. The black ground underneath it's paws glowed at each stride, it's moon-lit pelt rippling calmly like the lake water --albeit the strong gust of wind that stormed through the clearing of trees. It halted in it's tracks and sat back, unmoved by the hostility in the tomcat's eyes.
The star-lit cat stared at the tabby above.
Well, here I am.
It spoke directly into his mind.
"What do you intend to do here?" The broad-shouldered tabby still maintained his position, eyeing the entity warily.
The starlight cat reared it's round head back. Gazing at the tabby, he spoke again.
What else? Paying an old friend a visit.
The way it added those words struck fear into the tabby cat.
The tabby tom leapt down into the black ground, landing a distance away from the strange cat. Turning around, he unsheathed his black claws. "Do I know you?" He mewed through gritted teeth, lashing his bushy tail threateningly.
As calm as ever, the glowing cat stared unblinking into the eyes of the tomcat. The tabby didn't like the feeling he is getting that he was vulnerable. The glowing cat cocked it's head sideways, a playful glint reflected in his neon eyes.
To rephrase that, an old friend sent me to you.
"To what?" He asked warily, narrowing his amber eyes.
The star-lit cat lashed it's thick tail.
To turn things around.
A grin spread on it's face.
The tomcat shook his head. "Stop speaking to me in riddles!"
Oh? But the fun part was just starting.
It answered back playfully.
"Get to the point already, glowing cat!" He added a venomous emphasis to the last two words.
Learn to have some fun.
The glowing cat was completely unmoved by the tabby's hostile approaches. It stood again and circled the large tom.
But as you insist, so it be done.
"What are you going to do?" Alarm pulsed beneath his fur. What is this strange cat going to pull off? The fur along his spine twitched and bristled with anxiety as he took large, threatening steps toward the star-lit cat. "One wrong move and it's your head that will be resting on my claws tonight."
The star-lit cat elevated it's gaze to his. A fierce fire burned behind those neon eyes as it squared it's powerful shoulders, it's light-blue paws unsheathing their dangerous claws. "
Oh, but let's see if you can before I do.
" It's eyes narrowed into eerie slits while it opened it's jaws, revealing two upper, canine teeth longer than the rest of the set. Saber teeth? Impossible!
The tabby tom felt his heart hammering inside his ribcage.
Saber cat descendants? Impossible!
Unsheathing his long claws, he forced fresh oxygen and blood to his muscles. He raked the starlight cat with his gaze. "Back off, fox-heart!" He hissed loudly as he tensed his powerful legs, readying them for the jump.
The entity grinned maliciously at him. "
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
" It broke out into a harsh, rattling laughter as it sprang on the tabby.
Move! Move!
Those thoughts screamed him to make a jump, but the tabby tom found himself transfixed by the neon eyes of the gargantuan entity looming on him.
Move! Do you want to die?
His whole body was rooted helplessly on the spot, frozen like the river in leaf-bare.
That's it, just think of nothing but the green.
Jump out of the way!
His thoughts screamed wildly.
Embrace darkness, Tigerstar.
The voice echoed cruelly.
The tomcat felt his whole body being sliced in half, followed by something really warm steadily flowing out of it but before he could feel pain, shadows slowly crowded his vision before it finally rendered him sightless. He felt his spirit sink away into the depths of a black ocean, mindless of what just occurred. He found darkness' loving embrace once more.

HPB provides holidays for life. It is however, an investment product so your capital is at risk. Read "How it works" for a summary of the principal risks and benefits.
The Dordogne boasts some of France's most attractive countryside, with gentle wooded slopes, rich farmland, wide boulder-strewn rivers and enchanting fairytale castles. Here, close to the fascinating town of Bergerac and the magnificent River Dordogne, is the old hamlet of Constant. The hamlet has now been rebuilt in the traditional Périgord style to provide holiday cottages and apartments that combine charming character with modern comforts.
The Périgord region is not just renowned for its gastronomy and its vineyards. It also boasts more than 1,000 castles and manor houses; medieval towns and churches; caves, troglodyte villages and rock shelters. Plus, it features breathtaking natural sites and unique fauna and flora, including wild orchids and a huge variety of birds which can be observed close to Constant.
The beautiful town of Bergerac, situated on the River Dordogne, is 13 miles from Constant. Famous for its tobacco, wine, and – of course – for Cyrano de Bergerac, it has many excellent shops, bars and restaurants.
The city of Périgueux is also within easy reach of Constant and is well worth a visit to see its Byzantine style cathedral, magnificent Renaissance houses, quaint cobbled alleys and boutiques.
Constant is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,400 properties to its 41,000 investors ("Bondholders"). If you are not already a Bondholder and would like further details please see below.
Wine-lovers will be in heaven here, since Bordeaux and Bergerac are a stone's throw from Constant. However, the area's cuisine is just as impressive. You'll find foie gras and duck can be seen on most restaurant menus. And of course, the Dordogne is also famous for its truffles.
Situated on the bank of the Dordogne river, this town has more to offer than just great wine. Bergerac is charming, full of fantastic restaurants, unique boutiques and interesting museums. The old town is the most fascinating part of Bergerac, but keep a look out for the two statues of Cyrano de Bergerac, the subject of the well-known play - though the actual person never lived in the town!
The Dordogne region is one of the best places to see Prehistoric cave paintings. These fascinating works of art reveal how the prehistoric French lived, with most depicting animals which are now extinct, including woolly mammoths and aurochs. Lascaux II, Font de Gaume and Rouffignac are the best places to see the paintings, and are well worth a visit.
Dordogne's turbulent past is evident from its architecture and the many different châteaux and castles. We recommend visiting Château de Beynac and Château de Bannes; both look like something out of a French fairytale.
Be sure to see some bastides too (medieval fortified towns and villages). Monpazier is one of the best examples of a bastide. There are lovely villages and towns wherever you go in the Dordogne, so you won't have any trouble finding somewhere to explore.
Want to enjoy this beautiful hamlet for more than a week? Well you're in luck, as we offer concessionary long-stay holidays too. Please see our brochure or contact us for more details.
Constant is part of the Holiday Property Bond's growing portfolio of outstanding holiday properties throughout the UK and Europe, imaginatively created over 32 years to combine "home from home" comfort with total relaxation. Currently the portfolio features 35 holiday developments, all in stunningly beautiful locations across 13 countries, with over 1,400 individual villas, apartments and cottages.
For a summary of how HPB can give you and your family a lifetime of wonderful holidays and the risks as well as the benefits of an investment please read "How HPB works" below.

There is a quarterly fee of under thirty pounds linked to RPI, with all other management fees paid from securities.

In exceptional circumstances cashing in may be deferred for up to twelve months. Minimum initial payment £5,000. No medical examination required.

When your Buick Skyhawk left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values economical pricing in their automobile. Car aficionados appreciate the good looks built into each Buick, and know that only the highest quality repair Skyhawk parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. You bought your Skyhawk because its dependability and a trusted name struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles on the road today.
Using hydraulic pressure to accomplish a task is a millennia old feat of engineering. Your Buick Skyhawk has a manual transmission, and it requires the clutch master cylinder to govern the movement of your clutch disc. Your Buick Skyhawk clutch master cylinder uses the force from your clutch pedal to compress hydraulic fluid and send it to the slave cylinder on your clutch. Without a clutch master cylinder, your pedal would likely be connected to a cable that moves the clutch release fork.
Get your Skyhawk back on the road with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. All the Buick Skyhawk Clutch Master Cylinder parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983. Choose your year below to refine your search.

DENVER Corey Brewer isnt on a 10-day contract. The way he talks, it sure sounds as if he is.Brewer hasnt exactly had much stability the past few years. In February 2011, with Brewer due to become a free agent at the end of the season, Minnesota dealt him to New York in the three-team trade that featured Denver sending Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks.Brewer was waived the following month and then picked up by Dallas, which signed him to a three-year, 7 million contract. That sounded like stability.Nope. After finishing 2010-11 with Mavericks, which included barely playing in the postseason during their championship run, Brewer was traded before last season to Denver in a salary dump.In two Nuggets seasons, Brewer has become a key cog off the bench. So can the six-year veteran from the University of Florida finally breath easy?You never have no stability until you have a deal, said Brewer, who will be a free agent after the season. So right now Im just living in the moment.If Brewer keeps having moments like he did Sunday at the Pepsi Center, he wont have to worry about a lack of stability come this summer. Brewer had 26 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, in Denvers 121-118 overtime win over Oklahoma City.In typical Brewer fashion, the mild-mannered swingman didnt get too excited about his big game. He didnt issue or respond to a single tweet about it on @CoreyBrewer13.When I make a couple shots, my game gets that much better, Brewer said. Just trying to help the team win and we got a win.Indications are Brewer already has provided enough help for the Nuggets to want to re-sign him this summer. Brewer said he would like to stay in Denver and avoid the possibility of a fourth team in four seasons.Yeah, Id like to be here, said Brewer, making 3.24 million this season. I like the fans, I like the city, I like the system, I like (coach) George Karls system, I like my teammates. So its a good situation for me.''Brewer is averaging 11.3 points to raise his career average to 9.2. But Brewer still doesnt admit to satisfaction with his NBA career after being the No. 7 pick in the 2007 NBA draft.I still havent proved I can play here. I still dont play that much, said Brewer, who is averaging 23.7 minutes.Karl would like to play Brewer more. But the coach has a very deep team, one that features nine players averaging 18 or more minutes.It looked as if a squeeze might have been put on Brewers minutes when Nuggets swingman Wilson Chandler returned Jan. 13 against Golden State after missing 30 straight games due to a hip problem. But after seeing an initial dip in minutes, Brewer has been too good lately to keep off the court.Brewer had 17 points and three steals in 28 minutes last Friday against Washington. Against the Thunder, Brewer shot 9-of-17, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range and had six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson calls Brewer our wild card because he can help the team in so many different ways. When it comes to scoring, Brewer has four games this season of 20 or more points, including 27 on 6-of-7 3-point shooting in a win last month over the Lakers.Every team needs guys like Corey from the standpoint of not only statistical production, but the way he just plays the game with energy, Karl said. He just plays the right way. He plays with pride and he plays with intensity.Off the court, though, Brewer is one of the least intense NBA players you will find. Hes an unassuming guy who grew up in rural Portland, Tenn., population 12,000.He smiles all the time, Lawson said. He can be mad but hes still smiling Hes as country as they come. Most guys in the NBA will have a Range Rover. He bought a 4-by-4 pickup truck. Thats all he drives. That explains how country he is.When Brewer was in the fifth grade, he got a pet goat named Billy. He said Billy still resides in the same spot behind mother Glenda Brewer's house in Portland.Brewer was extremely close to his father, who died last year at 68. Brewer said he still greatly misses Ellis "PeeWee'' Brewer, who had diabetes that led to severe health problems near the end of his life.Its been tough, but you get through it, Brewer said of his father dying. I think of him every day, but I know hes in a better place My sophomore year (at Florida) he had one of his legs removed. My junior year, the other one was removed. Before my third in the (NBA), he went blind.Brewer was able to help keep up his fathers spirits by doing plenty of winning. He won NCAA titles with Florida as a sophomore in 2006 and junior in 2007, when he was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. Then, even though he played in just six of 21 playoff games and not at all in the Finals, he added an NBA title with the Mavericks.Not surprisingly, Brewer isnt the kind of guy who flashes his rings around.I never wear them, he said. I keep them in a lock box at my moms house. Theyre so big and gaudy, you really dont have time to wear them.Brewer is one of just six active players to have won an NCAA and NBA title ring. The others are Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers of Miami, Richard Hamilton and Nazr Mohammed of Chicago and Jason Terry of Boston.Brewer this spring should be back in the playoffs with the Nuggets (25-18). At least last season he played in every postseason game for them.Im happy hes finally found a home (in Denver), said Golden State forward David Lee, Brewers Florida teammate in 2004-05.Well, Brewer doesnt quite consider it one yet.Chris Tomasson can be reached at email@example.com or on Twitter @christomasson

'American Idol' winner Scotty McCreery victim of home invasion
RALEIGH - According to ABC affiliate WTVD, "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery and friends were victims of a home invasion style robbery in the 2100 block of Raleigh's Wolf Tech Lane just before 2 a.m. Monday.
The area is an apartment complex near North Carolina State University where McCreery is a student.
Raleigh Police say three armed men came into the home and took wallets, cash and electronic items before fleeing.
In a 911 call released by police, one of the people in the apartment told an operator "They took everything we have."
The caller said the robbers told the group to count down from 100 before they were allowed to get up.

Sheriff's deputies in Southern Utah and Utah County are looking for several people with warrants out for their arrest, but those wanted men and women could be anywhere in the state. In this week's Catch a Criminal report we are opening up the Washington County and Utah County most wanted list to see if we can help authorities catch more criminals.
We begin Victor Silva. Utah County Sheriff's deputies say the 23-year-old is a known gang member. He has felony warrants for possession of a dangerous weapon and felony burglary. He is 5′-8" and150 pounds. He has black eyes and hair. Silva also has several tattoos on his arms and unique tattoos on his face. On one cheek he has two tear drops and on the other cheek he has the letters "GD."
Deputies in Washington County are also on the look out for 20-year-old Jamie Pullman. She has felony warrants out on her for possession and distribution of a controlled substance on school grounds. She is 5'2", 105 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair.
And we are trying to locate Chad Jones for Washington County. Jones has a felony warrant for aggravated assault. He is 21-years-old, 5′-7", 170 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.
If you recognize any of these people or if you know where they are, call us or call police.

Being told by a stranger that they love something you're wearing is an absurdly affirming experience, but when it happens to "stylists" for Stella & Dot, they don't just smile graciously at the compliment – they can turn it into a tidy profit.
In 2003, New York-based entrepreneur Jessica Herrin wanted a new project, one which would put women at the heart of the business – not just as customers but by empowering them to create their own income. She embarked upon a jewellery-making course, and put her social-selling concept to the test by selling her designs to a select group of friends and acquaintances.
It wasn't until 2005, when she met designer Blythe Harris, that Stella & Dot, with more than $200m in sales to date, began to take shape. Harris says of her part: "Amazing quality and design is important so that our stylists feel they are giving someone access to something – not pushing it on them."
Each stylist must first invest £169 in a starter kit, which comes with £300 worth of jewellery to showcase and a free trial of their own micro-site on the Stella & Dot website. Each stylist can set their own goals and choose when and how much to invest in extending their business. Any further sales through their micro-site will generate commission too.
Since launching in the UK in 2011, the brand has racked up sales of £7m through its growing network of 1,200 stylists selling jewellery, bags and leather goods. Everything is designed in-house, and the company's New York design office is a veritable magpie's nest of vintage costume and fine jewellery. At the beginning of each new season, 400 or so designs are whittled down to the 60 that will go into production, with up to 5,000 units of each being made.
"Our end goal is to make as many women successful as entrepreneurs as possible," Harris says.

Fertilization is the initial stage at which a new human life begins. The method of fertilization is quite complicated. The journey for the egg begins with more than 500 million sperms, released into the cervix of a woman while having sexual intercourse. Fertilization takes place when the strongest swimming sperm travel through the cervix into the uterus, to meet the egg up into one of the fallopian tubes.
The head of a sperm contains an enzyme, which is capable to break the hard outer coating of the egg's cell membrane. The cell membrane then becomes resistant to all other sperm and does not allow them to get in. Therefore, all the sperms then expire within the next two days.
Fertilization occurs when a sperm enters a mature egg and it releases DNA at the centre of that egg. This enables the sets of DNA to combine and form a human zygote (a single-celled embryo). Then to establish pregnancy it has to travel down into the uterus and implant into the thick coating. There are chances of pregnancy terminated at this point of time, but if everything goes well an early embryo forms and after nine months, a healthy human baby emerges.

Yankee Longago
this wiki
|Yankee Longago
Yankee Longago
Real Name
George "Yankee" Longago
First Appearance
Boy Comics #3 (1942)
Original Publisher
Lev Gleason
Created by
Dick Briefer
Golden Age Origin
George "Yankee" Longago was an American boy who was able to travel through time when unconscious or asleep - or so it seemed. Most of the stories he appeared in were ambiguous as to whether Yankee Longago actually traveled back in time or if all of his adventures were products of his imagination...or both. His guest appearance in the Pirate Prince story in Daredevil Comics #28 marks the only instance when he was clearly and unambiguously shown traveling through time.
Whatever the truth behind his time-traveling ability may be, Yankee Longago showed up in different time periods, fighting villains with ingenuity and (occasionally) his fists and getting into all sorts of misadventures along the way.
During his time-travels, George met many famous historical figures including King Arthur, Cleopatra, Christopher Columbus, and Napoleon Bonaparte.

Nice Valentine's Day Gift
I got this pendant for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day because thought it's a heart, which is like the kitschiest V-Day gift, the style of it is so clean and simple that it comes off looking pretty sophisticated. Luckily, my girlfriend feels the same way. She hasn't taken it off since I first closed the clasp for her!
Author: P. peterson
A fabulous buy!
As a woman that prefers a sophisticated look, I've always thought pave diamonds are the way to go. This pendant is heart-shaped - you can't go wrong with that combination if you ask me!
Author: RC
My girlfriend looks spectacular wearing her diamond heart pendant. When I bought this item I was a little worried that she may not like heart shaped pendants, but I thought that the diamonds were so gorgeous and that the pendant was very dazzling, and so I took a chance and ordered the pendant anyways. I gave it to my girlfriend as a Christmas present and I was incredibly happy and relived to see her pleased expression. She can be very particular when it comes to jewelry, but this pendant exceeded her expectations.
Author: Todd R.
no hearts
My girlfriend is a girly-girl and, as such, she likes her jewelry to be very fem. That's why she already owns a lot of heart shaped jewelry pieces. Heart shaped earrings, heart shaped necklaces, heart shaped charm bracelets, the list goes on and on. So when her birthday came round I really wanted to avoid buying her any jewelry that was heart shaped, when I found this necklace I couldn't help but order it for my girlfriend. I knew she'd flip over it. She absolutely loved the pendant.
Author: B. Griffin
I love diamonds, and I love hearts. This necklace couldn't tie these two more perfectly together. It's a beautiful design and I absolutely love it!
Author: Kim Sampson
another one!
I got this pretty open heart pendant for my daughter on her birthday and she was crazy about it! The only problem was that her sister was so jealous! She really wanted a pendant like that to call her own so of course I ordered another one. It's a good thing Zoara is selling this piece of jewelry for such an affordable price, otherwise I'd be in trouble!
Author: Mamma
Stunning heart necklace
Is there anything more sentimental than a heart shaped diamond encklace? I don't think so! Great product!
Author: Tia B.
Beautiful piece
This pendant is very modern and chique. The diamond isn't in the smack middle, but on the side, which is somehow rather charming, and the heart is just beautiful. I love the naturalness of this piece and my husband Jeff who gave it to me so graciously.
Author: Carolyn
Charming and lovely
I love hearts, and I have a collection of over 12 heart pendants from around the world. This is my first heart from an internet purchase, and it goes wonderfully with the rest of them, though it is the only one with a diamond so uniquely placed. Zoara did a really interesting job designing this.
Author: g. K.
on the side
I've never seen a piece like this with the diamond placed on the side like that. I've grown to adore it though after I gave it a chance after I was reminded that the human heart is also slightly off center. All art is but immitation of nature, and all jewelry is art.
Author: Artist F.M.
Good buy
My wife is into the modernistic stuff and the layout made me stop and think. After 5 minutes, I bought it. After 2 days, it arrived. After 15 minutes, I gave it to her, and after 2 seconds she loved it! Hows that for a timetable?
Author: Harold M.
Such a cute little diamond setting
Never liked big diamonds before but the little tiny ones, those are the ones that steal your heart. They sparkle just the same and they don't make anyone stare, just look for a second and then turn away. You can tell that way that the sparkle caught their eye, but they're not staring at it as if it's a freak of jewelry. That's the best combo. Good necklace, thanks Zoara.
Author: gillian
And it's good!
I was on pins and needles when I gave this to my girlfriend and I didn't know if she'd like it or not. (She's very picky.) I'm still not 100% sure if she likes it or she's just being nice, but it doesn't really make a difference all that much. She says she likes it, and now she's googling it and telling me all about this ancient city or something.
Author: john doe
Heart pendant fever
Looks good, love the diamond, love the metal, love the look, good shopping experience. Customer service didn't seem too annoying either. All in all well put together site, would be here again if I were a chronic jewelry buyer. Unfortunately in this economy i can't afford to be.
Author: Clarissa Mary
Great combo
The pieces of this heart pendant really fit together well. The diamond on the metal and the placement, it's very elegant and classy, not too conspicuous and rude looking. Tasteful, I'd say. Glad I bought it here.
Author: Miss. paulson
Nice touch
Here's a story for all the guys trying to freak out their girls with jewelry. Put it on them when they're asleep and see how long it takes for them to notice they have a new necklace. They might hit you when they realize it out of shock, but it's worth the smack...hehe...I'll put that in the Zoara stories section!
Author: BPG
Another word for pretty. I just wanted to use it somewhere, but I did in fact get this pendant and it is in fact pulchritudinous. I wanted to find one with balanced diamonds on both sides, but the imbalance actually has a sort of charming ring to it. I like it
Author: K Luda
Pleasantly surprised
I'm generally not the one for diamond jewelry, but the unassuming nature of this pendant and diamond are quite cute and modest. The perfect piece of jewelry matches beauty with modesty. that's what I like about this.
Author: Wilma Frederickson
Good deal, good jewelry
Never bought jewelry before, not that much into jewelry, but just got remarried and wanted a nice piece that wasn't a ring for the wedding. Decided on this, turned out good, got a great woman with a great necklace at a great price. Website ain't bad either.
Author: Re-married
Wonderful look
How does that cheer go? I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. I wonder who composed that little diddy. I'd like to meet him. Wonder what he'd say about my wife's new diamond heart pendant. But seriously, good buy, good piece. I like it.
Author: Matt S.
Great buy! So excited to give to wife!
When I got this in the mail opened it immediately but now I have to figure out a way to give it to my wife creatively. I'm thinking of putting it in her makeup thingee. She spends enough time blushing and whatnot whatever they call it. She's gonna love this.
Author: Raymond Pele
Happy to do business with Zoara, good product, beautiful diamond. I hope we never lose the cute little critter. Zoara should build homing devices for their jewelry for this purpose. I'll bring it up with them...ha!
Author: Funnyman
Love the colors
Diamond match with any metal virtually, but something about this necklace really clicks with the eyes. I think it's the finish of the metal and the size and placement of the diamond. Not sure what exactly, but that's what makes it even more unique and mysterious.
Author: PG

The Salvation Army is a tremendous organization in our area, supporting many community members in need. Globe University-La Crosse students, staff, and
faculty are happy to support such a wonderful organization.
GlobeUniversity-La Crosse staff and faculty showed their support of the Salvation Army in many ways during the Fall 2011 quarter. Admissions staff, Brady Lowe, Communications and Community Relations, and Paula Clark, Medical Assistant Student, rang bells to raise funds for Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign at Macy's and Festival Foods.
Staff members from Career Services, Financial Aid, the Front Desk Staff, and Campus Director Stephanie Cline supported the organization's annual Food Basket Community Support Event. Globe staff packaged and distributed food to local families and gave out gifts and books to children. The 10 Globe University-La Crosse staff volunteers helped donate over 600 baskets of food and gifts for over 2,000 children.
In addition to supporting the Salvation Army with volunteer power, Globe University-La Crosse was happy to provide a $250.00 donation to Salvation Army to raise funds for their Red Kettle Campaign.
Globe University-La Crosse looks forward to continuing to grow the strong relationship with Salvation Army through volunteering, service learning projects, and other support opportunities!

The Most Romantic Honeymoon Ideas
The Most Romantic Honeymoon Ideas
Honeymoons can be just about anything, as long as you and your partner both agree on a place to visit, that's all that matters. Most couples opt to spend their honeymoon relaxing on a beach in the tropics.
But there are plenty of other, more romantic and more exciting, things you can do.
Not only should your honeymoon be romantic and enjoyable, but it should also be based on your joint tastes. If there's somewhere that you've both always wanted to go, go there. The question is, where should you go?
Honeymoon on a yacht
For a honeymoon with a difference, spending it on a yacht is perfect. As long as neither you nor your spouse get seasick, that is. The great thing about honeymooning on a private yacht is that you don't have to spend your trip in one place. You have the opportunity to travel around.
Whether you want to explore the Balearic Islands in Spain or the British Virgin Islands, renting a yacht could be perfect for you. If it's the latter, check out British Virgin Island Yacht Rentals. If you'd prefer to spend your time in Spain, or somewhere else that's hot, Google yacht rentals for that area. Imagine staring out across the ocean with your new partner wrapped around you – what could be more romantic?
Camp in the wilderness
If you're a couple that loves nature, a camping honeymoon could be perfect for you. It might not sound luxurious, but being alone in the middle of nowhere can be extremely romantic. There will be no one to disturb you, no phones going off, no Facebook, just the two of you. You can spend your time relaxing, hiking, fishing, doing whatever you want to.
If the idea of camping doesn't appeal to you but you love being close to nature, glamping could be a good bet. You still get that camping feeling, but you have lots of little luxurious to make your time away feel extra special. Think a comfortable bed, candles, champagne – all the little details that will make your time that little bit more romantic.
Go on safari
Safaris might be expensive but the best time to go is definitely for your honeymoon. If you and your new partner are both animal lovers, then going on safari could be the perfect way to celebrate your wedding. There's something incredibly romantic about the African savannah. Perhaps it's the natural beauty of the space ? Whatever it is, a safari honeymoon is a great option.
There are so many amazing safari resorts that you can stay at, that whatever your tastes, there should be one that's perfect. From glamping to five-star hotels, you have plenty of options to choose from. Where you opt to spend your honeymoon will depend on your budget and the type of experience you want.
There you have it, three of the most romantic honeymoon ideas. There are so many different options for your honeymoon; it's just a case of picking the perfect one. From camping and glamping to spending your honeymoon relaxing on a yacht, there are lots of options.

A Skye Councillor has been stripped of two senior council positions, after sharing the online postings of the far right group Britain First.
As a result of the complaints over two posts on his Facebook site, Drew Millar has now resigned his membership of the Liberal Democrats.
The long serving Portree-based councillor had chaired Highland Council's community safety, public engagement and equalities committee, and was also leading the customer services board examining the future of the area's service point network.
Councillor Millar has pledged to serve the remainder of his term in office as an independent.
The posts from his Facebook site have now been removed, but speaking to the Free Press today (Friday) Councillor Millar was unrepentant. He said many would share the sentiments contained within the online messages.
One of the posts had urged: "Nick Clegg says teaching British values in schools could offend moderate Muslims — share if you think Nick Clegg is a cretin."
On its website, Britain First — an offshoot of the British National Party — describes itself as a movement of British "nationalism, patriotism and democracy," which views Islam as an "alien and destructive" doctrine.
Councillor Millar said he had been stripped of the committee posts before he had been given a chance to explain himself. As a result, he had decided to leave the party.
"I served as an independent for 15 years before joining the LibDems, so it won't make a great deal of difference to me or the constituents," he added.
Mr Millar said it had always been his intention to step down as councillor at the next election in two years' time.
A statement released today by the Highland Liberal Democrat Council group said: "In early October, the group was made aware that Councillor Drew Millar of Skye had shared with friends on his Facebook page images and comments which came from Britain First, an extreme right-wing organisation. This was anti-Islamic material used by Britain First to stir up religious hatred.
"The group immediately acted to make the convener of the Scottish Liberal Democrats aware of this and he initiated the process of investigating the complaint. Under party rules this is a matter for the office bearers of the National Executive, who have an obligation to follow due process and conduct the investigation in a thorough and impartial manner.
"Due to the nature of the material, Councillor Millar was given the opportunity to voluntarily stand aside from his position as Chair of the Community Safety, Public Engagement and Equalities Committee while the investigation was underway.
"He declined to do so and has subsequently resigned from the LibDem Group on Highland Council and resigned his membership of the Liberal Democrats.
"The group will now nominate a new chair of the CPE Committee. This is a formal decision for the full Highland Council which meets on 30th October."
The statement added: "In the strongest possible terms, the Liberal Democrat Group condemns the dissemination of such material as utterly reprehensible and wholly unacceptable. It has no place in our free and tolerant society and any councillor, from any political party, should face swift and appropriate action when found to be in breach of stringent regulations governing the conduct of members."

Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy
Animals obviously cannot have a right of free speech or a right to vote because they lack the relevant capacities. But their right to life and to be free of exploitation is no less fundamental than the corresponding right of humans, writes Julian H. Franklin. This theoretically rigorous book will reassure the committed, help the uncertain to decide, and arm the polemicist.Franklin examines all the major arguments for animal rights proposed to date and extends the philosophy in new directions. Animal Rights and Moral Philosophy begins by considering the utilitarian argument of equal respect for animals advocated by Peter Singer and, even more favorably, the rights approach that has been advanced by Tom Regan. Despite their merits, both are found wanting as theoretical foundations for animal rights. Franklin also examines the ecofeminist argument for an ethics of care and several rationalist arguments before concluding that Kant's categorical imperative can be expanded to form a basis for an ethical system that includes all sentient beings. Franklin also discusses compassion as applied to animals, encompassing Albert Schweitzer's ethics of reverence for life. He concludes his analysis by considering conflicts of rights between animals and humans.

Things I liked: well made rifle, pretty well accuract with jsb 18.13g i was one of the lucky one to recieve one that liked them. 3/8 grouping at 35yards while siting in a chair resting rifle on a camera tripod. can only amagine if i had a solid bench rest. waiting on h/n match 21g and h/n 19g hunter extreme to test for backup pellets. fairly easy to tune though i only get 20 full power accurate poi shots, as that is all i was looking for. fill mine with nitrogen, works out well.
Things I would have changed: nothing, rarely do i miss a bird, and a real crow killer, the pellet inpact even at 60yards is loader than the gun!
What others should know: if you remove the shroud to make it easy to clean the barrel, make sure not to tork it on when re-assymbling as it will change your point of inpact. so take note of how tight it was at the beginning. fire a couple of shots and loosen or tighten until poi is where you zeroed. this so called poor mans pcp is winner and hard to beat unless you want to spend twice as much

Things I liked: Lite, compact(carbine) & accuract for a hunting rifle. I have the .25cal power house version set for hunting at 56fpe lots of knock down power with the H/N 31g baracudas, avarage of 900fps. excelent wood stock and finish, butter smooth side cock action. This is the better buy over the over rated euro guns,though they are nice just to pricey for the avarage person. This is the alternitive my opinion, you don't need pin point paper target accuracy for hunting. Having said that, this rifles accuracy at 20 yards=(one raget hole), 35 yards= (1/4"), 50 yards is down to (5/8")witch is pretty good considering i have only put 130 rounds in it so far and the groups are just getting smaller as it breaks in. Most shoting was done siting resting rifle on palm on a padded camara tripod. Groupings were 5 shot groups, and yes, i'm not the greatest shot to boot lol. Very nice rifle, you cant go wrong.
Things I would have changed: crosman quick fill conect, probes are just one more item to loose. Better baffles to tame this beast though i hear it is not backyard friendly, if noise is not a problem dont worry. Mine went straight to a tuner.
What others should know: rifle is very lite so feness is the key, no need to man handle it like heavy rifles. I wanted my .25cal to be back yard friendly so it was sent directly from PA to Will Piatt, (Saddle mountain gunsmith) to be tune to my liking. Triger job,crossman style quick conect,custom machien depinger, 3" longer custom carbon fiber shroud with custom baffles, rear vent holes. This power house is the same or slightly more qiet than the .22cal marauder i also have which is also set "hot" at 33fpe. My goal was to make it more backyard friendly not to inprove accuracy as the gun is already accurate though Will P will do his magic if it is a little off his standards as he is a world class shooter who knows his way around korean air rifles

They change their mind and retreat to the safety of their cottage, feeling as they did so that they could just as well have an excellent adventure in comparative safety rather than in the big wide world
Edith reopened the door to their cottage, a little perturbed after seeing a bird drop dead out of the sky after hitting a telephone wire.
"I say, it looks a tad different out here than the last time we ventured outside the cottage," she proposed, scanning the countryside while ushering Mabel inside. "More...gray. And filled with rubbish. Fewer...intelligent birds."
"I'm already a bit peckish," Mabel said, opening the flowery bag. "How excursions take the energy out of one."
Edith shut the door ceremoniously, with a great bang, which set the grandfather clock by the door to rattling and dislodged a stuffed falcon from its perch above the mantle. A quick glance showed the clock to be stuck at half-past three in the morning, which was clearly incorrect.
"I believe Dwight's pendulum is broken," she called to Edith, who was already setting the table for tea.
She opened Dwight's glass face and peered about inside. The golden pendulum appeared to be jammed. There was a small parcel stuck up in the gears.
"How peculiar," she murmured, reaching up inside and wrenching it out. Dwight gave a clock-like moan and went back to ticking. After adjusting the time again, she walked into the kitchen. Steam rose from the china teapot sitting on the table. A cup was already waiting for her.
"Mabel," she said, "this was stuck in Dwight's gears."
She set the brown paper package on the table. It was about the size of a pillbox and a bit heavy.
"Well, open it."
