Title: Lacrimosa
"It's been eight and a half months, 007. It's time for you to let go."
Warning: Angst, 'why universe why' kind of fic, Character Death
Disclaimer: Skyfall isn't mine. The story is.
Summary: Q was in a coma because the villain that was trying to kill Bond hurt Q instead. Since the accident, the tall blond man always visited the Lily room number 007 regularly, talking to a motionless young man with dark hair about the mission he had just completed.
James couldn't believe he was here again.
After his last visit last month, he had thought he wouldn't be able to look at the man's face without pushing the urge to kill himself. James couldn't help it, yet here he was. He always came back.
There was a war in his head whether he entered the room or not. Hesitated. Hesitated as he stood in front of the Lily room number 007. The heart monitor inside the room went in faint rhythm; he could hear it as he opened the door eventually.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Steady rhythm, but slow.
The blonde winced. He hated the smell of hospital medicines. He hated the reason why he was here. He hated the fact that the small, thin figure that lied motionless inside that room with cables and life-support all over him was the one he cared the most.
His jaw tightened. He closed his eyes for a moment, finding the courage to walk across the room towards the bed. When James walked, it was soundless.
"Q," he whispered slowly. There was no smile. There was no sarcastic comment. There was nothing. The black haired man said nothing. James wished he could trick his mind into thinking that Q was just asleep. That he only closed his pretty eyes for a moment so he could find him back at MI6 headquarters safe and sound. But that would be lying to himself. That would be denying the truth.
He forced a smile. "Q, how are you doing?"
Well I feel great and I'm in comatose it's all because of you thank you very much, his mind supplied a respond. It didn't help James feeling any better. He shook his head.
James managed to get a chair and sat near the bed where Q slept. He stared at the sleeping man for a moment. "M gave me a new mission few weeks ago. I need to find someone for him in Vatican. I'd never been to Vatican before. Well I don't care about the old buildings and all the ancient church in that city, but I bet you do. You've always wanted to visit Paris. I think you'd like to visit Vatican too," he explained in a slow voice. He had his thumb rubbing Q's right palm. It felt cold.
Then another smile. "I ended up buying a map during my mission in Vatican, you know. You weren't there to tell me which path to take. You..−" James swallowed the lump in his throat. Suddenly he didn't want to be here.
"Please wake up, Q. I know you can." He said it calmly. But even an old man knew there was a hint of emotion in that voice. "Even Eve misses your presence. We're all do."
The agent planted a small kiss on top of Q's cold forehead before he left. The doctors had been cutting his pretty hair. There was a long stitch mark on his skull. But James didn't care. Q was still that handsome little dork in James' eyes.
The team found the man that had assassinated Q that day. Apparently, Viktor Ziglov was a Russian war veteran. The old man was paid by the man Bond was chasing after. No one could stop James, not even M. When they found the address, James flew to Russia and killed Viktor slowly and mercilessly. The next day he flew back to London to see Q again.
He didn't feel any better. Apparently, killing Viktor wouldn't bring Q back.
Visiting Q after a mission had become some kind of ritual for James. Nearly all the staffs knew him although no one had ever spoken to James. They just knew. 'That sad looking blonde guy' was a constant visitor in that hospital.
Months passed. M decided enough was enough.
James completed another mission. Thirty men and one woman died in Macau. There was nothing unusual in that. When he entered the Lily room, it was empty. He simply stared the empty bed unbelievingly. He wanted to laugh. Did I enter the wrong room?
"It's been eight and a half months, 007. It's time for you to let go."
James turned around and found M standing behind him. He stood still as the man walked around the room. "Brain damage, Bond. We could fix his lungs, even his nearly stopped heart. But the damage in his brain wasn't repairable. I'm so sorry."
He didn't feel anger nor disappointment. Funny, that. He just stood there staring at the other man.
M began to explain about the cremation and an official ceremony, but James said nothing. His eyes said nothing. "Go home. Take a rest," M said eventually before he left the room.
Home? He thought. But Q was home.
James Bond was homeless now.
He ended up staying at Q's flat. He still had the key.
Everything in that flat was covered by thin dust. All the things were exactly where the last time he had seen it. He remembered where the Van Gogh's fake paintings were hanged, or where Q had kept his Andrea Bocelli's album collection. He remembered every detail.
He didn't even bother to turn on the lamp. The agent just went straight to Q's bedroom.
Even after these months, the pillow still smelled like Q. It's funny how the smell was still there in his world when the owner of the smell wasn't anymore.
This is the truth James wanted to deny. He didn't want to believe Q was dead. He cursed his feelings as tears fell down on his face. He didn't sob, he didn't scream. James cried in an agonizing silence it brought him to sleep.
Oh God, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Q please hear me. I'm so sorry.
James wished he knew how to quit him. He really, really wished.
The next day he woke up, he was a different person. He went to work with somehow happier face than yesterday. He didn't visit the hospital anymore (he spent his spare time in a club instead, loud noises and all that). There was a new quartermaster and his name was L. It didn't bother James. He still had sex with every woman he met on his missions, and everything's okay. Both Eve and M saw this change but said nothing.
The moment he stepped out from that flat, he had already forgotten the existence of the dark haired man named Q.
A/N: OK bad grammar is bad I'm so sorry this fic is far from perfect. D: Reviews are more than welcome.

I love a bit of pale green and pretty – figures, given my branding loves this colour so much too I this wedding so, and not just because of the pretty pale green – I feel I know Ellie and Boyd just a little bit, it almost feels as though I was part-present on their wedding day reading through all the wonderful information Ellie has shared. er
Ellie and Boyd have made a previous appearance on Love My Dress, via this sweet 40's inspired engagement session with their photographer Jordanna Marston.
Ellie was a regular reader in the run up to her wedding {"Love My Dress was the main blog, I looked forward to reading this every day for ideas☺!"} and her 1940's/1950's 'make do and mend' inspired wedding to Boyd took place on 9th June with a ceremony in the Church where Ellie grew up, followed by a reception at the Scott Bader Commonwealth Centre.
"I have always loved anything vintage, shabby chic, retro and sparkly hence the circle 50's inspired dresses, the victory rolls, the vintage bus, the button and brooch bouquets, the lace and the bunting! I love the idea of 'make do and mend' and reusing things and we were doing this wedding on a budget. We both love relaxed informal big family and friends get together so we tried to combine this with the traditional church service and wedding breakfast.
We also wanted all of our family and friends to be there hence the venue. We didn't want to be limited by hotel number regulations or the cost of them…"
Love My Dress Wedding Blog – Photography Copyright (c) 2012, Jordanna Marston
"We stuck to a budget throughout and did as much as we could ourselves. I work as an event planner so I asked favours when it was appropriate. People were more than happy to help out if they could and everyone offered to help, one of my friends designed and printed all of the invites, save the dates and orders of service as our wedding gift which we were very grateful for. These touches made the day a lot more personal…"
"I knew that I wanted to be a 1940's/1950's esque bride and wanted a vintage inspired dress. After trying on many dresses in local bridal shops and not finding exactly what I wanted I decided to have a dress made by a local lady who came highly recommended then I could have exactly what I wanted and it would be fit to me and would cost a fraction of the price!
I worked with the dress maker to put together a design which combined all of the elements of the dresses I had seen and loved. I wanted 40's and 50's glamour and love dancing hence a calf length circle dress would be the perfect shape. I knew that I wanted vintage looking lace involved. I had seen a vintage bridal photo shoot in a local magazine which I where I got the idea for the lace jacket with pearl buttons down the back – this was my favourite bit about the dress.
The lace I chose was beautiful…."
"I did not get my shoes until 2 weeks before the wedding and I was panicking. As my dress was shorter the shoes were going to be on show and I originally wanted a pair of vintage inspired Rachel Simpson shoes however the pair I loved had gold on which did not fit with the colours I had.
After many hours of searching shops and on the internet and finding nothing I bought a beautiful cream pair of peep toe court shoes from Phase Eight which were amazingly comfortable, looked fab, and fit perfectly with the hem of the dress…."
"I have always loved the halter neck circle dresses of the 50's in the candy colours (great for dancing) and having 3 very different bridesmaids the shape suited them all. I originally was going to buy them from a shop where I got the colour inspiration from however I worked with the dressmaker to design these to an original shape so they perfectly fitted each girl. We used mint green duchess satin.
The bridesmaid's shoes were silver sparkly peep toes from Next which completed the 50's feel of the dress…"
"I wanted original vintage jewellery to complete the look. There is a local jeweller in Wellingborough who always has a great selection of second hand vintage jewellery. I was very lucky to find a beautiful 1930's paste diamante floral brooch form my dresses sash and a necklace which would complement my lace neckline perfectly.
I picked up some fabulous 1930's past diamante drop earrings which just happened to match the necklace perfectly at an antique fair in Lymington…"
Lovely 'close up' photograph taken during the ceremony. You need to make sure you will be able to get similar shots at your own wedding – read this feature as it is important…
"I walked down the aisle to a classical piece of music played by the organist – Zadok the Priest. Not the traditional track but I wanted something a bit different. However Boyd and I chose to walk out to All You Need Is Love by the Beatles. We both love the Beatles and their music so it felt appropriate…."
"When Boyd and I got engaged my mum gave me a heart made of pearl buttons on wire – that inspired the pearl buttons on the save the dates and invites and the button bouquets. Therefore my mum made each girl a pearl button heart; I bought so many pearl button job lots on eBay for these and had everyone collecting their old white and cream buttons for them.
My bouquet was also inspired by pearl buttons, so I opted for a vintage button and brooch bouquet. This was my favourite bit of the wedding (along with the vintage route master bus☺). I ordered this from Lesa at 'I Heart Buttons'. / Lesa was amazing. We talked through the wedding theme and colours and she came back with ideas and pictures or the buttons and brooches that I could choose from.
She sourced original vintage brooches for mine and the bridesmaid's bouquets which I chose. With my order she made a bespoke grooms buttonhole for Boyd and a button hole for my mum. These looked great, really individual and different. Everyone commented on them…."
"We hired an old route master vintage London bus to pick people up from Wellingborough and Doddington and take them to the church and then to take guests form the church to eth venue. This was one of my favourite things about the whole wedding. I desperately wanted that picture of me swinging off the pole! ☺
The atmosphere a top the bus sounded amazing everyone had huge smiles on their faces and had a good giggle – it was just a shame that me and Boyd did not ride up there with them!"
"Our cake was made by a close family friend and the best mans mum Margaret Baldry. Her cakes are amazing and she has a very high reputation. We opted for a dummy cake and cutting cakes for the day so we could have the cake out all day and night. We talked through our ideas with Margaret as we wanted to include the button theme, she was brilliant giving us ideas and talking through what would work.
It was a four tier cake incorporating the button theme on the bottom and 3rd tier, ribbon and a brooch on the second tier and lace icing around the top tier. Margaret made a beautiful icing replica of my button bouquet for the top…"
"Our friends had all chipped in and arranged a female Ukele player to play before the band whilst we turned the hall around for the evening as a surprise. She was amazing and played some fantastic songs. She specialises in vintage/ retro songs so fit with our wedding perfectly…"
"Boyd didn't want a traditional top and tails wedding suit for him or the groomsmen and wanted a simple tailored suit which we felt would fit with the vintage theme and could be worn again. They went to Bicester and found the perfect suits in Ted Baker. Boyd's was a darker shade of grey with the groomsmen's being lighter.
These were bought as the groomsmens gifts. They wore matching shirts and ties…"
"My bridesmaid Cleo is normally my hairdresser and works at Melanie C's in Wellingborough. Her boss Mel offered to do my hair and the bridesmaid's hair. She knew my love of vintage so in the trial put my hair into a beautiful victory roll style.
My cousin Nicola Henderson was my makeup artist. I don't often wear lot of makeup so she came with me to purchase suitable products and applied subtle make up on the day with the signature 40's eyeliner and a pinkie red lipstick…"
"Fitting with the theme I wanted a bird cage veil. After searching on the internet and looking at many (expensive) options I bought some beautiful netting off of ebay which I could then cut to shape to fit my hairstyle on the day.
Again after scouring the internet and looking at some very pricey options I bought a beautiful white silk and diamante hair comb from Johnny Loves Rosie with an offer voucher. I didn't want anything too big or flashy because my hair was going to be in victory rolls. The comb I bought slotted perfectly into this style…"
"My dad 'gave me away' – he was so proud and I was so happy. My mum and dad have both been so amazing…"
"Our wedding venue, the Scott Bader Commonwealth Centre, a wonderful local venue in the neighbouring village with beautiful gardens and a simple hall big enough for all of our guests and which provided us with a blank canvas to decorate. We wanted a vintage themed wedding with a relaxed country shabby chic style, this venue was perfect…"
"I had been collecting bits and bobs to decorate the venue from the day Boyd proposed. Our venue was a blank canvas and I have a passion for all things vintage so it was a good excuse to start buying these things. I knew that I wanted everyone to have a china tea cup for their tea so I scoured charity shops, eBay, car boots and friends and families cupboards and managed to gather 130 tea cups and saucers. Boyd is famous for his love of cakes and sweet treats so in the evening we had a cake and sweet table.
Our friends all made different cakes so we had vanilla slices, cupcakes, ice cream cake and cake pops. We also had jars of our favourite sweets including pink shrimps and milk bottles. I made my own cake stands from plates that I collected and covered the table with crochet and lace cloths.
"We had polka dot and floral lengths of bunting strung round the room. I purchased a shabby old 1940's suitcase and strung up vintage letter lexicon cards as a place where people could leave their cards. The entrance to the hall was decorated with 2 old step ladders that I had got off freecycle and my mum painted white.
We had flower arrangements on each step in various mis-match jugs that I had collected and picked up. We attached the table plan holder, a shabby chic metal heart, to the top of the ladder with mint silk ribbon. I also placed about the hall wooden letters, a metal bust with pearls and tea light holders to decorate the surfaces…."
"K&S Ball, a local caterer, provided all the food. It was amazing and they were so helpful and organised on the run up and on the day. I love 'mini foods' or canapés so we had more of these and not a starter. Everyone commented that the food was delicious especially the Pavolova stuffed with Eton mess for dessert chosen by Boyd ☺!
Later on in the evening we ordered Pizzas for everyone which went down a treat!"
"Our first dance track was a song written for me by Boyd called 'I love you more than the moon'. One of my best friends Anna Jaichner is a professional singer and sang this for me at a restaurant on our first valentine's day as a surprise organised by Boyd. Since then it has been 'Our song'! Anna then sang it as our first dance…."
Words of Wedded Wisdom…
"Do it your way – it is your big day and it only happens once so it needs to be perfect for you both not what everyone else would like you to do! Take your time on the day it goes by in a whirlwind and you want to savour every moment!"
Boyd, Ellie, CONGRATULATIONS! I am so grateful to you for sharing your beautiful day with my readers – thank you
A big shout out too for Jordanna Marston for sharing her photographs today…
"I love Jordanna's pictures. Our engagement shoot pictures were amazing so I was really excited about having her take our wedding photos. Jordanna made it so easy for us, keeping us both relaxed and smiling. She captures the feeling of the moment in photographs, the little smiles and squeezes of your hands, as well as capturing the era that we wanted to portray.
Boyd has known Jordanna a long time; she is a good friend which made it even easier to work with her."
Who loves this wedding as much as I and which bit do you love the most?

According to a recent paper published in the McKinsey Quarterly, China's rapidly growing upper middle class presently accounts for about 12% of the world's luxury-goods market. Amazingly, that share is predicted to grow to 22% by 2015.
Interest has moved far beyond fancy purses and jewelry and into such areas such as spa services and wellness activities. In fact, consumption is now growing faster for luxury services than luxury goods.
But by luxury does one mean just more fake Gucci handbags? Not at all. The famed Chinese counterfeit watches and faux gold and pearls have plummeted in local popularity by two-thirds.
Today's upscale Chinese buyer is very conscious about acquiring only the authentic international well-known "real thing."
Credible statistics gathered by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons show that the Chinese already account for 13% of the world's surgical and non-surgical cosmetic medical procedures. Based on the McKinsey predictions, it seems reasonable to project that growth in China's desire for cosmetic surgical services should mirror that in the rest of the luxury-goods market.
Which means that in just another three or four years, the Chinese will consume a very significant chunk of all cosmetic surgery performed in the world -- and not the cheap imitation variety but the real "brand name" item, which at least for another decade is synonymous with "made in other countries."
While nearby Taiwan and South Korea are cosmetic centers of renown, the ultimate plastic surgery brand resides in the United States, where exceptional technology, provider experience, and all-around pampering make it the world's prime cosmetic medical tourism destination.
Look for marketing by the fashion and beauty industries in all of these name-brand competitors to become increasingly sophisticated, aggressive, but especially global, including a much heavier emphasis on Web-based strategies such as blogging and social media. It's started already.
• Looking good in China is not looking good
• Upside down double eyelid surgery
• Asian medical tourism countries and English proficiency
• Forget the fakes. Chinese want "real" cosmetic surgery.
• Neuroplastic surgery: When too much beauty is not enough
• The dimple is not simple: creation and reversal
• Ethnic plastic surgery: Barbie still a beauty standard
• Indian plastic surgery charity illustrates basic systemic flaw
• On permanent makeup: Risks of all injectables

Our Guide To Sifting Through All The Online Food Vacuum Sealer Reviews And Picking The Right One For You
When it comes to storing food, there are numerous options like aluminium foils and zip lock bags. But these things aren't designed to preserve food for days. This is where a vacuum sealer comes in, as it can store food for a longer period without affecting the quality.
Oliso PRO Smart Vacuum Sealer
Our favorite for 2017
Nesco VS-02 Food Vacuum Sealer
A very close runner-up
FoodSaver V3240 Vacuum Sealing System with Starter Kit
An excellent unit
A vacuum sealer draws air and moisture out of the food storage. The absence of oxygen and moisture around the food item makes it possible for the vacuum sealer to preserve food for a significant period.
There are basically three types of vacuum sealers. One is the chamber vacuum sealer that is best for heavy duty applications and commercial packaging. In this type of sealer, food should be placed within a containment chamber with the package double sealed immediately. It's not frequently used in homes due to its prohibitive costs.
The second type is the clamp vacuum sealer that features an external clamp. It requires bags with textured channels on the inside, designed to suck the air out. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to use, although it requires special vacuum bags. Its low vacuum strength also makes it not ideal for frequent use.
The last type is the retractable nozzle vacuum sealer. It is similar to the clamp model, but it has a retractable nozzle which creates the vacuum inside the bag. Because of this design there is no need for textured bags unlike in clamp vacuum sealers. This one is best for home use as well as light load commercial packing. A downside is that it can result to uneven sealing.
FoodSaver GameSaver Deluxe Vacuum Sealing Kit – This vacuum sealer is something hunters and fishermen would love to have, as it can keep meat, poultry and fish fresh for weeks. It gives a strong vacuum to ensure that food won't get spoiled even after an extended period. It features an integrated storage and cutter. There are two seal levels and vacuum speeds in this vacuum sealer.
Cleaning won't be a hassle with its patented removable drip tray. Moreover, its hands-free operation makes this vacuum sealer easy for just about anyoneto use. A bonus is its lengthy 10-year warranty.
FoodSaver V3240 Vacuum Sealing System with Starter Kit – This vacuum sealer can keep meat and poultry fresh for up to three years. It has speed settings that let users adjust the vacuum speed based on the food they'd like to preserve. Seal level may also be adjusted depending on dry or moist food. Sealing is easy with the extra wide sealing strip that applies heat for a more secure and air-tight seal. There is even an integrated roll holder and bag cutter for added convenience.
This unit is more compact, making it ideal for household use. It is a mid-range item.
Nesco VS-02 Food Vacuum Sealer – This unit from Nesco is a fully automatic vacuum sealer that homemakers and sportsmen will love. It has a powerful piston pump with a seal only switch designed to prevent over vacuuming. Said pump also ensures that the sealer won't crush delicate foods.
Included with this product are a number of storage bags. These bags are extra strong, with crossed air venting ribs on their sides so that air will be completely removed.
This Nesco vacuum sealer also has a very contemporary finish making it a good addition to any kitchen.
Oliso PRO Smart Vacuum Sealer – Homemakers looking for professional level vacuum sealing will love the Oliso Pro Smart vacuum sealer. It is considered by many as the best out-of-chamber vacuum sealer today as it uses an advanced punch and seal technology with liquid detection.
It can automatically seal dry food but also do the same to liquids and marinades without needing a large and costly chamber vacuum sealer. This vacuum sealer features an easy-to-clean drip tray that catches excess liquid.
This kit, which is medium range option, includes three quart size frisper bags, two gallon size frisper bags, a flexi tube, and a zip disc.
FoodSaver V2244 Vacuum Sealing System – This is another compact vacuum sealer that is designed for home use. It features a crush-free, instant seal that makes sealing quick and easy and perhaps more importantly, protects delicate foods. The dishwasher-safe drip tray is fully removable and where excess liquid is gathered.
Preserving food is a breeze with this vacuum sealing system. In fact, the process involves just three steps. Simply put the food inside the bag and place the open end into the vacuum sealing channel. Close and lock the lid, then press the vacuum and seal button. This unit which comes in a stylish black finish is a budget to mid-range option.
Buyers Guide – How To Choose The Best Foodsaver
You may be overwhelmed with the number of food sealers you can find on the Internet. But how can you find the best food saver, or a unit that addresses your needs?
In shopping for a food sealer you should examine your needs first. Do you need a vacuum sealer for home use? Or do you need one for your hunting or fishing trips? If you need one for domestic use, a countertop model should suffice. But if you require one that you can use on the road, then a hand-held variant is your best bet. However, a hand held vacuum sealer isn't the best when you talk about efficiency.
The orientation of the vacuum sealer is something you also have to look into. In case you would be storing liquids, you should get an upright sealer. This is also a better option than vertically oriented units as the latter would have to be outfitted with a special canister attachment to draw in and seal canning jars.
You must also look into the features of the vacuum sealer. You'd like to have the basics like drip tray, roll storage, and cutter. The latter two are must-have because it would spare you from the inconvenience and expenses of buying costly pouches.
Finally, the cost of the vacuum sealer could be the deal-breaker, so to speak. You should set a budget first then look for a unit that you can afford. This way, you can make your shopping for a vacuum sealer easier and faster.

Question about 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Posted by michellelpop on
does it sound more like wind noise or noise from the drive traine? if its wind noise it could be comming from the rubber weatherstripping between the door and body. this can be checked very easy take a doller bill and put it between the door and body and close the door if you can pull the doller out easy that means it is not sealing tight and will cause the whistling noise. chk. at other spots on the door too. let me know if you think its wind noise or drive traine noise. if its drive traine i will try to help on that to. good luck.
Do you have aftermarket bug deflector and or rain guards? these can cause noise you are describing. also you can turn fan on high fresh air mode and spray doors and windshield with soapy water, if there is a gap air will be escaoing and you will see bubbles

I think you are still missing the point - anyhow the point that I was making. (Which was intended as a passing acknowledgement of what Rosie had said. But has grown. :-( ) My keyboard, being "GB" doesn't have the keys for French accented letters. The French one does. The accents are accessible, but are not on the keyboard. The letters *on* this keyboard are all for the English language, and those for the other languages used in these islands are not, except in so far as they coincide - anyhow in form - with the English ones. It is therefore a misnomer to call it a "GB" or"UK" keyboard. I am objecting semantically. It is not a GB keyboard, it is an English one. (GB English, if you will - but still English.) Lisi

I met this guy through Facebook a while ago and since talking with him and getting to know some of his interests, we found out that we both had an obsessive love towards Taylor Momsen. I also found out that not only did he have a really good taste in music, but he was also an incredible illustrator.

Best Trophy Pushing Decks
Hey guys it's Ash and today I'm going to share three of the best trophy pushing decks in Clash Royale at the moment.
Best Trophy Pushing Decks in Clash Royale
These decks have proven to work on the ladder.
As an avid deck builder, I always keep an eye of the best decks in the game, not only by top players, but also by lower level players.
I'm usually more interested in seeing a lower level player, for example, a level 11 player make it to 5000 trophies with low level cards because that's not easy to do and it also shows you just how good that deck is for lower level players.
Most players don't have high level Legendary and Epic cards because they're hard to level up.
Hog Cycle Deck
The first deck is this very popular Hog cycle deck. This is probably the most popularly used deck right now by not only top players but also so many people in Arena 8 and 9.
The reason I recommend this deck is because it's proven to be a very powerful deck and has cards that are easy to upgrade. Except The Log, you can literally upgrade any card in this deck easily.
If you don't have The Log, then you can certainly use Zap instead. The main reason to use The Log would be for Tombstones, but Zap can also be very valuable for instantly killing Skeleton Army and the combination of Ice Golem + Zap can instantly kill Minions.
This deck works very well against almost any deck in the game.
You may have some problem while dealing with Lava Hound decks but luckily we don't face them a lot these days. If you do, rush on the other lane with your Hog Rider immediately once your opponent places the Lava Hound down. This deck Elixir Average is just 2.6 so always keep the pressure. Don't let your opponent has enough time to play the Lava Hound (or Golem, P.E.K.K.A, etc).
Goblin Barrel Rocket Deck
The next deck is this super strong Goblin Barrel + Rocket deck. (Please take a look at this page to see how the nasty Rocket Goblin Barrel combo works!)
This deck can counter almost anything in the game and is one of the safest decks to play it. It's a pretty easy deck to learn too.
All you have to do is play defense with while constantly pressuring your opponent with Goblin Barrel and Princess. If you don't have Princess, a good replacement for her in this deck would be the Dart Goblin.
You have lots of ways to bait Zap and Log with your Skeleton Army, Fire Spirits, Princess, and Inferno Tower.
Mortar Rocket Deck
Last deck is with Mortar! Yes Mortar!!! I got this deck from Turtwigdata, who farmed 1 million Gold from Grand Challenges, all with the Mortar.
Mortar is a very underrated card and is one of the best cards to trophy push with because it's a Common card, meaning it's easy to level it up. Just place the Mortar down and force your opponent to "attack", then, predict his moves and defend with everything you have (but not over-committing). Try to get at least 2 hits on your opponent's every time.
Sometimes, when you want to enable the defensive mode, you can easily use Mortar as a defensive building. Its splash damage is extremely helpful at dealing with Royal Giant pushes (it takes out supports). The splash damage is also very useful on offense because so many players accidentally place their troops next to the Tower, which is being attacked by the Mortar.
Also, as the Mortar has the "dead zone", you can sometimes use it to deal with Giant pushes. It will ignore the Giant and target the supports behind.
To read more about Mortar, please take a look at here.
Which one do you like?
Do you have any better trophy pushing deck?
Don't hesitate to share guys!

When it comes to brushing and flossing teeth properly, it can be quite a confusing task to figure out when an individual first gets braces Queens. Nonetheless, for the prevention of cavities and periodontal disease it is still equally important that the teeth are brushed and flossed at least two times a day.
Food particles often get stuck in the braces but can easily be removed by rinsing the mouth with water a few times. The food that gets stuck in the brackets can also be dislodged by using a dental pick, a rubber-tipped gum massager or a small spiral brush. The mouth can then be rinsed once again. An individual with braces can then proceed to brushing their teeth while using a little amount of toothpaste.
Using circular motions around the gum line is more advisable when brushing teeth with braces. The toothbrush should be angled above and below the brackets. You should scrub the entire surface of all your teeth with at least ten strokes and take a bit of time. Being considerably thorough is also advisable when brushing teeth with braes. Cleaning the surfaces of the molar and the brushing of the tongue should also not be forgotten.
When brushing teeth with braces, the best option is to use a good electric toothbrush from a well known brand. They are much more efficient at keeping teeth extremely clean and are convenient to use as well. It actually does not matter what type of toothbrush is used as long as the individual with braces brushes their teeth quite often and frequently.
An orthodontic toothbrush can also be used as an alternative to electric toothbrushes. They are more efficient at cleaning braced teeth since their bristles are curved into a "V" and this is what makes them different from regular tooth brushes. It is not easy to find orthodontic toothbrushes in local stores but they are conveniently available from a variety of web retailers. It is also possible to find orthodontic toothbrushes from an orthodontist.
Those who have braced teeth should resist the urge to use whitening toothpaste even though they might be tempted to. The use of whitening toothpaste should be avoided because the teeth underneath the brackets do not get equal whitening which becomes noticeable once the braces come off. It is much more advisable to use regular non-whitening fluoride toothpaste.
Another thing that confuses individuals with braces Queens is that how many times they should be brushing their braced teeth. The fact is that anyone with braced teeth should be brushing their teeth as much as someone without braces, i.e. at least two times a day, preferably after every meal or snack. To clear away food particular from their mouth they can even rinse it with some water whenever they get the chance even if they are not able to brush so frequently. The same goes when a sugary snack or drink has been consumed.
Even when the teeth are in braces, keeping these facts in mind can help people keep their teeth and gums as healthy as ever.

Timothy Ferriss' keynotes revolve around an interesting concept that Ferriss made big through his book 'The Four Hour Work Week.' His innovative book was a New York Times bestseller and he has since written 'The Four Hour Body.'
A graduate from Princeton University in East Asian Studies, Japanese and Neuroscience, Ferriss has gone on to work with TrueSAN Networks as an Account Manager, BrainQUICKEN LLC as a Senior Director and most recently, Author at Crown/Random House Publishers.
As a revered keynote speaker and life coach that makes things easier for people, Ferriss has experienced great success and earned himself quite a following. His books target areas of people's lives that need work and are simple enough to fix. His 'Four Hour Chef' book is set for release later this year.

Y'all. I'm tired. I'm fighting the urge to curl up on the sofa for the rest of the day. As usual, I didn't fall asleep until close to 5am. That's fine, it's whatever. I needed to be up by 10, because, you see, while Mark was gone last week, I impulse ordered 6 bottles of wine with unicorns on them. It was a moment of weakness. I regret nothing. However, an adulty adult has to sigh for the package, and the delivery window was 10-2 today. 5 minutes before my alarm for 9:20 goes off, I hear banging on the door downstairs. Maintenance. You know why? Our light fixture flipped out and starting blowing bulbs within just a few minutes of them being on. I put on the order that we're okay with them walking in if nobody answers. Dudebro comes in at 9:15 in the friggen morning and just starts SCREAMING to get someone downstairs. Repeatedly. THAT'S COOL.
Hobie, one of the roommates, went downstairs to have the dude hakuna his tatas because I was searching for clothes to make myself look decent, and figured he may as well get ready for work. As he went to leave, he noticed that someone threw a big ass rock at his windshield. Funny that it's just a few weeks after my window was broken in the same way. So now I'm up, waiting for UPS, eating cocoa crispies and trying to not fall asleep. May as well get a post up, right? At least I've got some gorgeous neons to share! They'll for sure brighten up anybody's day.
Okay, okay. Enough babbling. I've got the 3rd trio from the JulieG Spring polish line from Jesse's Girl Cosmetics. Dang, that's a mouthful.

Speaking in a Twitter question and answer session today, Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla ruled himself out for the Gunners' vital Champions League match against Napoli at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday, but did reveal he hopes to return for the Premier League match at West Brom the following Sunday (6 October).
The Spaniard has missed the north London club's last four matches with an ankle injury, and responded to a question asking when he will be fit to return by saying: "I will be fit maybe in one week, I hope I can play at West Brom."
The 28-year-old, who was one of the standout performers for Arsene Wenger's side last season, picked up the injury while on international duty.
Cazorla's return will boost an Arsenal midfield suffering a spate of injuries, with Theo Walcott, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby currently sidelined.

Great job in the second half! Dirk showed what a beast he is.
Crazy 2nd half
Jesus, we've turned into Miami!
Great game wasn't it?
I'm happy with it
Lakers with only 4 of their last 14 games at home, I doubt they will hold that #2 slot.
If we dont' fix this problem we've had lately they will.
It hasnt been that bad lately. How many losses?
5 of the last 8 games.
Going to the Celtics-Knicks game tonight. Should be a fun one.
I had a great time at the Spurs game
Hopefully Timmy's ankle isn't too serious.

Its all about the Celtics. After a great comeback, second one in a row, they are looking like the team they once were. Now its all about 18

There are a certain amount of things that can automatically be considered as sexy in my life.
The way he wraps around me in the middle of the night.
The way we banter, as if we're speaking in a secret geek language that only we understand.
His kisses. Any of them.
The playfulness, me grabbing his arse, him pretending to roger me from behind.
I love it. It's all fucking sexy and it makes me love him even more.
Of course, some things are less than sexy. These things can be shelved under "daily irks" or "life" if you will.
The fact that we seem to be the only people who do the washing up here.
Toilet paper appearing as a luxury commodity.
Our landlord's mother being on the phone for five hours (loudly, without taking breaths. We don't think she ever breathes. I think she absorbs air through osmosis.)
The entire family being over for the Easter holidays, and taking over the living room.
Our landlord (bless him) waking us up by playing Battlefield 3 on his PS3, on a volume so loud, I could have sworn downstairs had transformed into an actual post-apocalyptic war zone.
But you take that as you will and you adapt to the little irks. Because what matters is that you've got each other. And to me, he's the sexiest thing about my life. Warts and all. The little things are what make life so colourful. And in the end that's all I want.

Heritage site a No to mine
First Nations leaders have declared the Pipsell area a cultural heritage site and are saying No to the Ajax open-pit mine near Kamloops.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and other leaders gathered at the Secwepemc Heritage Park on Wednesday to make the announcement about the Jacko Lake area. The event also marked the opening of a museum exhibit on the area's significance and the release of a video on the subject.
"This collaboration is an opportunity to share the story of our sacred connection to this land as the original people, and educate the public about our culture, stories and the title and rights process," said museum archivist Carryl Armstrong.
The Secwepemc say Pipsell is a cultural keystone that must be preserved. The band said it is uniquely situated to serve as a place of sharing between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
"Our connection to Pipsell ... is irreplaceable and deeply grounded in one of our oral histories known as the Trout Children. We cannot transport our connection to Pipsell to another site," said Skeetchestn Chief Ron Ignace.
"As stewards of our territory, we each have a responsibility to our families, communities, the Secwepemc Nation, as well as the guests of our homelands, to ensure that we are doing our best to ensure healthy people and environment for today and the future," added Tk'emlúps te Secwepemc Chief Fred Seymour.
Shuswap Nation Tribal Chair Chief Wayne Christian, Green Party of Canada Leader Elizabeth May and Wilderness Committee national campaign director Joe Foy also took part in the ceremony.
B&E suspect swims for it
A robbery suspect in Kamloops may have decided a swim was better than arrest as he tried to evade police early Wednesday morning.
RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says officers were responding to reports of a break-in at the G&M Trailer Park about 6 a.m. when a man was tracked by a police dog to the nearby Thompson River.
She says the man was able to swim across, but remained in the water on the south shore, clinging to the remnants of an old dock as the Kamloops Fire and Rescue boat closed in.
Officers were eventually able to convince the 23-year-old to wade to shallow water and surrender so he could be taken to hospital for treatment of hypothermia.
He's expected to make a full recovery.
The suspect recently moved to B.C. and has numerous outstanding warrants out of Alberta and Manitoba.
Newcomer scam fails
A scam aimed at wringing money out of new immigrants through threats failed when a woman was targeted in Kamloops recently.
Kamloops RCMP report that a newcomer to Canada received threatening phone calls from people pretending to be an immigration official and police representative who demanded money.
"A recent immigrant to Kamloops reported that someone purporting to be from Citizenship and Immigration Canada was calling her and claiming there were alleged complaints against the victim," said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, RCMP spokesperson, in a press release. "They said that her visa had been revoked and the police had issued a warrant for her arrest."
Call display showed the telephone calls were supposedly coming from the office of Immigration Canada and the local RCMP detachment.
"The phone scammer advised the immigrant that they had to wire them thousands of dollars or they would be arrested and deported."
Instead, the woman called Kamloops RCMP.
"This is a scam," Shelkie said bluntly. "Citizenship and Immigration Canada never accept payments over the phone by pre-paid credit cards or private money transfers. The fraudsters use cloning apps to show legitimate phone numbers to trick the victims into sending money."
Shelkie said people should hang up immediately if they find themselves involved in a call of that nature. They should then call Immigration Canada to confirm their status and make a report to their local RCMP detachment.
Last July, Kamloops RCMP warned of a scam targeting immigrants to Canada.
Fake US $ used in Kamloops
Counterfeit U.S. $20 bills have been making the rounds in Kamloops.
Over the past week, numerous local businesses have reported either inadvertently accepting the fake 20s or have refused to accept what appeared to be counterfeit American money, police said.
Kamloops RCMP have urged all businesses to review counterfeit detection techniques with their employees.
As well, employees should know it is within their right to refuse any cash payment if they suspect it might be counterfeit.
More information on counterfeit bill detection for either Canadian or American money can be found on the Bank of Canada website.
Thompson River level down
The water level of the Thompson River dropped more than a metre in the past week and boat launches have reopened.
However the City of Kamloops says the water level remains high and urges residents to continue to use caution in and around waterways.
A city press release states: "There have been reports of dislodged river markers and residents are asked to be extra cautious if they are on the river with motorized boats."
- Idling speeds are recommended as a precautionary measure and to prevent river bank erosion.
- High waters have caused excess debris requiring extra vigilance for all water users.
Meanwhile, public works crews continue to remove temporary flood protection works as river levels drop.
The city has implemented free sand bag disposal at landfills.
Kamloops fight death arrest
A 27-year-old Kamloops man was to appear in court Monday charged with murder in connection with a fight last December that left another man unconscious on the ground. The victim, Sean Dunn, died shortly afterward.
The RCMP said James David Bond was arrested without incident by the Major Crimes Unit on Friday.
"Bond has no previous history of violence and a minor criminal record," said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, RCMP spokesperson, in a press release. "Bond will be going before a judge today, June 19th."
In the early morning of Dec. 30, 2016, RCMP were called to the scene of a fight near the 400 block of Tranquille Road.
"Initial reports indicated that a fight in progress had left a lone male unconscious on the ground. Medical treatment was administered by BC Ambulance but the 42-year-old victim succumbed to his injuries while on scene," said Shelkie. "Information gathered at the time of the incident indicated that the fight appeared to have stemmed from an argument between two men who had become acquainted that night at a local pub."
SAR scour forest floor
UPDATE: 4:20 p.m.
Kimberley Search and Rescue spent four hours Saturday scouring a forested area for the small plane and its two occupants that went missing on June 8, but came up empty handed.
Based on a witness report, military aircracft circled the area near Kimberley while five search and rescue members looked on the forest floor.
Kimberley is just 25 kilometres northwest of Cranbrook, where the plane departed from.
After four hours of searching, the team came back without finding any sign of the missing plane.
"We are called when there is something of interest on the ground," said Peter Reid, search manager with Kimberley Search and Rescue. "That's all we did today."
While Cranbrook Search and Rescue has been called out to assist with on-the-ground searches for the plane, this was the first time Kimberley SAR was utilized.
ORIGINAL: 10:20 a.m.
The search for the two people whose small plane went missing nine days ago on a flight from Cranbrook to Kamloops continues Saturday.
The plane was piloted by 21-year-old Alex Simons, a recent graduate of Excel Flight Training in Lethbridge, Alta, while 24-year-old Sidney Robillard, Simons' girlfriend, was the lone passenger.
Simons had rented the plane from Excel Flight Training on June 8, departed Lethbridge and arrived in Cranbrook to refuel that afternoon. The couple left Cranbrook just after 3 p.m., but never arrived at their destination in Kamloops.
For the past nine days, Royal Canadian Air Force crews, as well as civilian pilots, have been scouring the more than 400 kilometres of mountainous area between Cranbrook and Kamloops for any sign of the plane.
The white plane may be more difficult to spot if it landed in a snow-covered area.
Six military aircraft are back on the search Saturday, along with seven planes from the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association.
CASARA is a group of volunteer pilots, navigators, spotters, radio operators and administration staff that assist the Canadian Forces in rescue operations.
Looking back on dark day
By John Moorhouse
June 18, 1962 – a date forever embedded in Bert Terry's memory.
Fifty-five years have passed since that fateful day when three fellow RCMP officers were shot and killed in Kamloops.
"That was the worst day I ever had with the RCMP. Three of my working buddies were shot to death within a matter of a couple of minutes," he recalled. "That was pretty hard."
The shootout came to mind as Bert and his wife Phyllis recounted their lives while making a donation to the Penticton Regional Hospital expansion campaign. They have lived in Penticton since 1986.
Bert was on duty as a constable with the Kamloops detachment that day. It was the morning after a boisterous community festival, and the cells were filled with those who had celebrated a bit too hard the night before.
Shortly before 9 a.m., a pair of game wardens spotted a man swinging and pointing a rifle near the downtown welfare office. The gunman, George Booth, was believed to have been enraged after his cheques were reduced.
Booth threatened to kill the approaching wardens, and police were called in. Constables Joseph Keck, Gordon Pedersen and off-duty (and unarmed) Const. Donald Weisgerber arrived within minutes. The suspect started walking away from them towards a nearby creek, refusing to heed their orders to stop.
He eventually shot Pedersen, and in the ensuing gunfight, both Keck and Weisgerber were killed. Booth fled into the hills.
Bert had been escorting prisoners from the Kamloops courthouse when word of the shooting came in.
"We had 54 prisoners in the lockup," he said. "But once the prisoners heard what happened and why, not one of them complained about being kept in the cells."
A manhunt ensued, and Booth was located about three hours later. He died in the gunfight.
Bert said the young constables' deaths rocked the community. A joint funeral for the slain officers at the local hockey arena attracted more than 1,500 mourners.
5K Foam Fest is back
The 5K Foam Fest is back at Sun Peaks this weekend.
The cross-country obstacle race is part of a nationwide series that has collected $35,000 for Habitat for Humanity and thousands of pounds of food for local food banks.
"We have some fun new things happening this year at the event, but as always will crank a wicked after party for everyone," said Jesse Fulton, president of 365 Sports Inc.
With 22 unique obstacles and thousands of gallons of foamy fun, athletes and novices alike can participate.
There's also a 20-foot "sky fall" drop onto a stunt bag, bouncy castles, the world's tallest portable inflatable water slide, food and drink vendors, and an on-site DJ.

'We'll continue searching'
The search continues for a missing Piper Warrior aircraft and its two occupants, who failed to show up in Kamloops at their scheduled time.
Seven civilian CASARA planes and five military aircraft are in the air today between Cranbrook and Kamloops, looking for the plane that disappeared on the afternoon of June 8.
The plane was piloted by 21-year-old Alex Simons. Simons' girlfriend, 24-year-old Sidney Robillard, was the lone passenger.
Upwards of 70 searchers have now gone over the entire 400-kilometre search area once, without spotting the missing plane.
"We're going over the entire search area again, and we're looking at it multiple times, and we won't be satisfied that we've searched everything until we've had a look at everything from three different levels and different angles," said Capt. Dennis Power, 19 Wing public affairs officer.
Pilots looking for the missing plane began their search at 1,500 feet above ground level. The second pass takes place at 1,000 feet, followed by a 500-foot pass. These heights aren't fixed though, as cloud cover will change the best elevation for searching.
"If you're in the mountains and you have clouds at 500, there's no point in doing 1,000 or 1,500 because you won't be able to see through the clouds," Power said.
Power says the many variables involved make it difficult to determine a timeline for completing the search.
"Cloud cover continues to be a challenge in some areas," he said.
"Until we've searched the area completely, and we're satisfied that we have seen everything, we'll continue searching."

In real life, everyone has their own passions. When excited, face will be filled with happy expression; when angry, face will show anger expression. Each face shows expression, others will see. Once you put on the mask, will not easily reveal their true face. Looking forward to seeing the homemade masks in the classroom.
We cherish excited mood to meet the arrival of the show, it will be interesting, come up with their own mask and share with each other in class. The teacher selected ten students out on the platform to show. At this time, have to wear own style mask, some students just cover the eyes like a masked Batman; some mask likes a girl, likes a gentle and quiet girl; some mask is bear, like a bear and so on. All I do is Bane mask, because he represents loyalty, I want to be a loyal to the brave little Bane. I looked through the lovely mask on everybody, wow! Their masks, all kinds of different. I stood by the students, he is creative, do a mask can actually put glasses in the mask, is painted on small kart lovely expression. Who is he? I don't know; sometimes Monkey King, probably his brave, naughty, witty; sometimes by rabbit, may be the cute and naughty! I watched the laughing, the students also laugh out. I think, if they wear the mask to go home, my parents will be startled, thought it was a stranger. WOW! I doubt: "who is this? And who's that? " If someone passes by, will be the scene and a jump, and immediately attracted.
Finally the teacher let us wear our own mask, respectively, and then take pictures, to record the moment funny scene. Just a simple mask, so that everyone in the class laughed delighted. Happiness could be so simple!

By Faisal Fareed, Twocircles.net
History repeats itself, and often at the cusp of historic events. And the recent struggles of the Samajwadi Party are a testament to this statement. Mulayam Singh, the grand patriarch of UP politics, was a wrestler in his younger days and claims to have never lost a match. But in politics, no one is unbeatable, and Mulayam now lies floored by his son Akhilesh Yadav.
It is nothing new for Mulayam. The Yadav satrap, since his baptism, in politics always joined hands with leaders only to part later. Political experts started terming it as Charkha Daon—a tactic used by Mulayam, where the opponent wrestler bites the dust when he is confident of his victory and is unaware of any attack.
And this trait was visible since Mulayam's journey in politics in 1967 when he contested from Jaswantnagar seat in Etawah, which was then held by his mentor in politics Nathu Singh. Today, family members of Nathu Singh have completely lost their political clout in UP politics.
Mulayam's fortune changed in 1989 when Janata Dal got a majority in UP, ending Congress rule. In the battle of the post for the CM, Mulayam staked his claim while his opponent was Ajit Singh. Mulayam always claimed to be a successor to Choudhary Charan Singh, but he did not hesitate to contest against his son Ajit. At that time, VP Singh became Prime Minister but Mulayam kept him at bay in UP. After that in 1991, Ajit Singh parted ways with several MLAs to form his own group. It was appearing that Mulayam will lose his chair, but he rushed to New Delhi and solicited support from Rajiv Gandhi and saved his government. Then one fine day, Mulayam dissolved the assembly and went for polls, leaving Congress in a Catch 22 situation.
Now Mulayam did not have any party, so he stuck with Chandrashekhar and contested the polls with Samajwadi Janata Party in 1991. He lost the government and within a year he also parted ways with Chandrashekhar and formed his own party, the Samajwadi Party. Within few months, he was again in polls and this time his ally was Bahujan Samaj Party. The coalition worked and Mulayam again became CM. The bonhomie ended in 1995 with infamous Guest House incident and Mayawati parted ways and formed a government with BJP's support. Later, in 2003 Mulayam again formed a government with Congress support.
By this time, it became a common saying in Hindi heartland that if Mulayam meets any political party, the party is bound to split. It happened with his closest ally communists in UP where he lured all its legislators in his party thus ending communist hold in UP.
After that Mulayam took so many U turns, that it has become difficult to keep track. Once he backed out at the last moment, thus sealing the fate of Sonia Gandhi after assuring her of support in becoming PM. In 2002, he took another U turn after roping in Mamata Banerjee to ensure the second tenure of presidentship for Dr A P J Kalam.
Most recently, he advocated forming of grand alliance and merger of six old socialist parties for Bihar polls in 2015 but again parted at the eleventh hour.
This time history repeated itself and Mulayam lost his post of national presidentship of SP to his son Akhilesh.
