The Northern Alliance Pact, also referred to as the "Pact of Steel" is an active alliance pact between the nations of Albion, The Netherlands, Prussia, and Scandinavia. France has been requested to join but is not considered a member yet.
The beginnings of the Pact harken back to the North Sea Trade Alliance, a joint alliance originally founded by Albion and the Netherlands, over time the trade pact encompassed the entirety of the North Sea and the Baltic. In the late 1400's, The Netherlands expressed desires to turn the trade pact into an iron-clad alliance pact between the powerful northern nations, in part to protect economic interests but also to ensure no warring between members. Later that year, Albion and Scandinavia signed with Prussia following in the next year.
Baptism of Fire
The Pact got its baptism of fire when a coalition of German states led by Hamburg, bent on reclaiming lost land, attacked Scandinavia. Shortly thereafter Albion, the Netherlands and Prussia jumped to the aid of their ally. The war lasted three years and was a bitter power struggle. eventually the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Berlin, a minor defeat for the alliance.
Still the alliance remains unperturbed and continues on.

Empire of Scandinavia

War of German Aggression ended 1500-- victors, German city-states

Another day has come and gone. The sun has risen, the sun has set. The end of the second day. As is my custom I went to my second shul and davened on the court of Spaulding, Nike and Reebok. There I bore witness to the pain and shame of the past for myself and for others.
If you're new to the blog let me help you catch up. I play pick up basketball three or four days a week. I use that and this blog as my therapy. It is where I blow off steam and try to forget about the challenges of the day.
Most of the time I prefer to play three-on-three or four-on-four, but every now and then I'll run a couple of games of full court. Unless you play in the league the teams aren't prepared in advance. We just split 'em up and have at it, well that's the theory.
The thing is that no one wants to lose so people try to do what they can to stack the teams. And as you might imagine there are players that people really don't want on their team because they just aren't good enough.
So what happens is that you sometimes get to witness the harsh reality of the elementary school playground all over again. Guys can be isolated and outcast. To be clear I have also seen some great moments in which people intentionally grabbed the less talented players and took them under their wings.
My friends, that is a mosaic of the black eye I received from one of the guys I play ball with. He was on my own team. Quite a teammate, isn't he.
On a serious note he is one of those guys who moves around on the fringe. He has some severe emotional issues, isn't particularly coordinated and has been hospitalized on a number of occasions. I know about his medical situation because he has boundary issues and shares things that he probably shouldn't offer so readily.
Most of the guys prefer not to play with him, because it is just too easy to get hurt. I have to be honest and include myself in that group. If I can avoid it I do, but sometimes I feel badly about it. Not just because of him, but a few other guys as well.
As we divide ourselves up you can see the anxious look in their eyes. They're nice guys, but they are just terrible players. Maybe I am projecting too much, but I suspect that they have had a lifetime of being picked last or not picked at all.
It makes me feel awkward. We're not children. We pay to belong and most guys just want to have a good game to take their mind's off life's challenges. It is not really our responsibility to try and make everyone feel good. There are times when I want to pick them, where I'd like to help make them smile by helping them.
Sometimes I have spoken up and done something and sometimes I have just stayed silent. Like I said, we're grown ups now. There have been times at the gym where I didn't get picked because the guys didn't think that I was good enough to play with them either.
But after more than 20 years of playing there it doesn't happen often. I usually play with the same group of guys so I am often guaranteed a space. To be clear, these guys on the fringes can always get into a game. It is not that they are completely frozen out of playing, but that can be a small consolation.
I suppose that what I am really saying is that the court isn't so different from the real world. Sometimes it is a place where the layers are pulled back and you see that we still carry the pain of our past.
"When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'." — Groucho Marx

Ladies, may I introduce you to your newest source for premiere designer discounts, Belle & Clive. The site is Bluefly's entré to the world of flash sales, but the major difference from other sites is that the years-long relationships between Bluefly's buyers and amazing brands result in choice picks from premiere designers. Every. Single. Day.
We thought we'd introduce the site, which is still actually in Beta, by showcasing today's offering – a rare vintage Hermes HAC Birkin made of Ardenne leather (!!). This showstopper is gently used and the description notes that the "front hardware features slight scratching due to age and wear." Get your hands on this gem for $13,000 by heading over to Belle & Clive when the sale launches at 11:30 AM. Want to see it in its full glory right now? It's waiting for you after the jump.

Barefoot Contessa's Fresh Pea Soup
Recipe by Ms B.
Earlier, I had posted Barefoot Contessa's Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Sandwiches after watching an episode of Ina Garten's show on the FoodNetwork. Now, I have finally tried the Fresh Pea Soup from that airing and found that I love it, as well. I prepared this with frozen peas, and while the original recipe did call for mint, I didn't have any on hand and omitted it. Pea soup may make some people's heads spin, but this is so good. Pairing with the flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich would be an incredible meal.
Top Review by Asma6319
This is really nice, healthy and fresh- plus quick and easy to throw together. For a half recipe, I just used 1 yellow onion and 2 green onions/chives (no leeks), sauteeing them together. I also used frozen peas and no creme fraiche (which in similar recipes is sometimes substituted with milk). My 10 month old baby loved it! Halving the recipe only gave 2 big servings, so the full recipe might only feed 4 people who really like soup. Thanks for the delicious healthy recipe! ....Side note- I used the basic chicken stock that I always have in my freezer: fry mastic and cardamom pods in little veg oil until mastic dissolves & card is fragrant, add water to boil, put in a whole chicken and onions + garlic + salt + pepper, pressure cook till chicken is falling off the bone. (Then lightly butter & season the chicken pieces and brown them under the broiler to have them for an easy dinner)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups leeks, white and light green parts chopped
- 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 5 cups fresh peas or 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen peas
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup creme fraiche
- 1⁄2 cup chives, chopped
- garlic-flavored croutons, for serving
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan, add the leeks and onion, and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the onion is tender.
- Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil.
- Add the peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the peas are tender. (Frozen peas will take only 3 minutes.)
- Off the heat, add the salt, and pepper.
- *Puree the soup in batches: place 1 cup of soup in a blender, place the lid on top, and puree on low speed.
- With the blender still running, open the venthole in the lid and slowly add more soup until the blender is three-quarters full.
- Pour the soup into a large bowl and repeat until all the soup is pureed.
- Whisk in the creme fraiche and chives and taste for seasoning.
- Serve hot with garlic croutons.

New Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has dismissed concerns from business and tax experts that changing the international tax rules could result in Australia losing mining tax revenue to nations like China, describing it as a "furphy".
Mr Frydenberg has also raised Australia's competitiveness internationally as a concern, saying corporate taxes are too high and need to be looked at. His comments come as the Abbott government looks to reveal in coming weeks ideas that will feed into the tax white paper process. It is expected an options paper will be launched before the tax white paper, which will signal where the government wants to go with tax reform.
At the same time, the government is seeking to claw back revenue from multinationals. Some business leaders, including Wesfarmers chief executive Richard Goyder, have raised concerns about the global crackdown on multinationals, saying there's a possibility of the Australian government losing revenue from the big miners like BHP and Rio Tinto, which are exporting to China.
"This is a furphy," Mr Frydenberg said. "Because these multinational tax companies involved in profit shifting are not paying tax anywhere. Some companies may pay a lot of tax in their host country on domestic sales. But in terms of international sales, which includes Australia, they pay very little tax."
The economic value of mining was created in Australia, not China, he said. "When you look at Rio Tinto, their major economic activity is digging it [minerals] out of the ground here in Australia and exporting it. The point of sale might be overseas but the economic activity is wholly derived here in Australia."
But Mr Goyder said last year Australia risked losing billions in tax revenue from resources sales to Asia if global efforts to stop multinational tax avoidance backfired.
Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott has also warned governments to weigh the impact of changes to international tax rules carefully, given Australia competes in low-tax Asia.
Under existing international tax rules, a company requires a permanent establishment or physical presence in a country for profits to be taxable there. Google, Apple, Amazon and other tech giants have been able to avoid paying tax on large sales and profits by claiming they do not have a physical presence.
Tax experts have long been warning that changes to the rules could result in a war on taxing rights. Asked what happened if the Chinese government took a different view to Australia and claimed it had a right to tax those billion-dollar profits, Mr Frydenberg said: "This debate is not about that."
"This debate is about multinationals involved in base erosion and profit shifting - they are not paying tax anywhere. That's why we need greater information sharing."
At the G20 meeting in Brisbane in November leaders recommitted to a new standard that would require multinationals to give governments detailed information about their tax affairs.
More than 90 jurisdictions will begin automatic exchange of tax information, using a common reporting standard. Australia will have its systems in place by 2018, which will involve banks and other financial institutions setting up systems that will allow them to feed information automatically to government agencies.
Mr Frydenberg said he and Treasurer Joe Hockey were aware that any changes to global tax rules required international co-operation.
"Australia is taking a lead role," he said. "Information sharing is the way forward. It will ensure global companies operating across many jurisdictions do pay their fair share of tax.
"At the same time you need a tax system and a tax rate and a tax base that provides incentives to invest and work. It's about getting the balance right."

"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"I don't have anything to say but thanks for your beautiful work. I've been your client for several months and my satisfaction is over the top :)"
"Ordering was easy. My notes about what to print were followed precisely. I wish the print had been a tiny bit bigger, but they came exactly as pictured. I just forgot how small place cards are!"
"We ordered in purple to match our menus and invites, they were perfect! The pre-folded crease made it easy to neatly fold them. We ordered without the table no. and just had a line in the middle for our calligrapher to write names on."

Amma Rajasekhar, who was basically a choreographer turned a director and proved his mettle with a blockbuster like Ranam. But like many other directors, he failed to maintain the standards in his second film, in the absence of proper storyline. It is surprising that a choreographer like him forgot that mere show of belly and belly button of the heroine could not save a film totally.
Dasu (Raviteja) is the son of a counterfeit racketeer (Kota Srinivasa Rao). As his father goes to jail, Dasu becomes an orphan. He stops his education at 10th Class and moves like a vagabond. On the other side, there is a smuggler who used to smuggle drugs and arms into the country. But an honest police officer (Prakashraj) hatches a plan and sends one informer (Raja Ravindra) into their underworld. He stays with them for sometime and passes on information to the police, with the help of which the police were able to bust the smugglers team, though not the kingpin. The don's assistant, who was also a lawyer advises him to play the same trick and admit one of their henchmen into the police to get information from the reverse side. However, he should not be in police records but should be crooked and cunning.
The smugglers team's search ends with Dasu. The group threatens Dasu and make him to play like a puppet in their hands. In order to push him inside the police department, he should at least pass Class X. So, they admit him in a school, where he falls in love with a teacher Nakshatra (Ileana). However, she doesn't like him as he neither has no good education nor good looks. After a few incidents, the don's right hand i.e, the lawyer tells Dasu to study well and become a police officer to win her love. Admitting the idea, Dasu turns a good student and gets through the exam. Later, he becomes a constable and gets posted in traffic. The smugglers unit hatches another plan and succeeds in pushing him in the crime police. After watching Dasu as a sincere police constable, Nakshatra too starts liking him.

How to cash in on the royal wedding!Posted on: 24 March 2011 by Rhian Mainwaring
It's not often that we get a gift from the royal family so we've put together a list of how to take advantage of this years' most talked about event.
Take advantage of the time off
Because of the way the bank holidays fall, you could take a two-week holiday (for example leaving on Monday 18th April and returning Monday 2nd May) and only use seven days of annual leave.
Book a last minute holiday
Yes, you won't be the only people doing it, but because of the time of year popular summer destinations will still offer good deals as the weather isn't guaranteed to be warm. With that in mind think of countries like Greece. The nation's biggest annual celebration takes place over the Easter weekend. With a cooler climate you could have a relaxing, cultural experience of your own.
Rent our your house
If you're lucky enough to own a house in central London then you could make some serious money by renting out your pad for royal enthusiasts. With an estimated 2 million people descending on London for the royal wedding and hotels hiking their prices up, there's a real need for (semi) affordable housing in London for the weekend. You can rent your house out at gumtree, londonrentmyhouse.com or at crashpadder.com and there's a handy list of tips here, on letting out your home to strangers.
Get into the spirit!
If you fancy celebrating the wedding the old fashioned way, why not get your whole street involved with a street party. Councils are generally working with the public on this one but each local authority will have different rules. It seems the latest application for a street party needs to be in by the 1st of April, but check with your local borough .For more information visit the directgov website.
So what will it be for you? Take a last minute holiday, host a street party or let the whole weekend just pass you by while you enjoy two long weekends in a row, let us know below...

In what would later be called the most devastating war in history, World War II could have ended up more different than you thought….
War of Annihilation
June 28, 1942
Germany unleashes Operation Braunschwieg; the aim is to capture the Strategic Baku Oil fields to fuel the Nazi war machine.
June 29, 1942
Russian forces start redeploying to the southern front, realizing their oil supply is in danger.
July 1, 1942
The Luftwaffe and the Red air force clash as hundreds and hundreds of planes battle for supremacy. The Germans have a 3:1 kill ratio but the Soviets numbers can absorb such losses. The Germans realize that achieving aerial supremacy is the key for the success of the campaign.
July 3, 1942
The Wehrmacht is the master of mobile warfare and the flat plains and steppes of southern Russia make it perfect tank country. Panzer divisions gain large swaths of territory while Soviet units are forced into pockets and bombarded with artillery and ground attack aircraft until usually all the soldiers are killed. The Russians realize how important this campaign may be so many units are fighting to the last man. (Usually under orders)
Operation Braunschwieg is consisting of two army groups:
-Army Group A is accompanied with the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 11th, and 17th Panzer armies while also incorporating the 3rd Romanian Army into its thrust. This is the main thrust of the offensive to capture the Baku Oil fields and must do it swiftly before the harsh Russian Winter prohibits major offensives.
-Army Group B is accompanied with the 6th Panzer army, accompanied with the 2nd Hungarian army, 4th Romanian army and the 8th Italian army. This Army group would serve as the strong left flank of Army Group A and would have to repulse any Soviet counter-offensive that would surely come. They are ordered to advance to the western side of the Volga and dig in. (They will not enter Stalingrad as General Paulus has decided to lay a siege, This puts Hitler into a rage but Paulus miraculously convinces Hitler to have patience because Stalingrad would be a death trap.)
July 4th, 1942
With Russian forces in full retreat, 4th and 11th panzer armies are racing towards Rostov to capture the last remaining Soviet stronghold on the Black Sea. Army Group B is experiencing heavy casualties as the inexperience of the minor axis armies is apparent, but also more soviet reinforcements are entering this sector. But this was expected as Army group A is dashing eastward with great speed.
July 7th 1942
Army Group A captured the city of Voroshilovgrad, which is a key city because it is a major railroad hub and can be used to help support the offensive. The Soviets lost nearly 80,000 soldiers and abandoned nearly 350 tanks, which the Wehrmacht would consider a gift considering this campaign will be decided by rapid armored advancement.
July 9th 1942
The Red Air force stages a desperate raid to hamper German railroad and supply lines by bombing the city of Odessa. Many in the Soviet high command consider it suicide but Stalin still wants the Red Air force to show it is still a force to be reckoned with.
This day would be a dark day for the Red air force, with 500 bombers involved in the raid; nearly 340 are either shot down or heavily damaged. The Russians haven't learned the art of fighter escort and lost 84 fighters in the process. The Germans only lost 48 planes, but many of these pilots bailed out so they will be able to fight another day. This tragedy along with the relentless German offensive will tip the scale in the German favor and the Red air force will only be capable of defensive sorties for the time being.
July 11th 1942
Army Group A is still making rapid progress as many units are on the eastside of Rostov and any day now the Russians will be cut off from the city. 1st and 2nd Panzer armies are pushing towards the Volga and meeting stiffer resistance. The Russians believe the Germans main objective is to capture Stalingrad to destroy the factory facilities there. But the Germans are going to swing their main thrust southward with Army group A and head towards the Caucasian oil fields. The Soviet Units there have been stripped bare because most of their armored divisions have transferred north in the defense of Moscow the previous winter.
The Russians believe the oil fields are safe because the Caucasian mountains are very treacherous terrain and impossible for tanks to maneuver. But the Germans realize this obstacle too and attached many mountaineer divisions to 17th Panzer army. These elite soldiers have been training for this opportunity for 2 years to fight and they are anxious to show the German High command how instrumental they will be in this offensive.
July 13th 1942
A Soviet counterattack out of Voronezh has hit the flank of Army Group B and has penetrated nearly 15 km in the first day. The German high command is in panic they believed it would have taken the Soviets longer to muster any kind of counterattack. The Germans realize they cannot depend on the minor Axis nations to stop any kind of Soviet attack head on. So, it is decided 4th Panzer army from Army Group A will be transferred to Army Group B to combat the Soviet attack.

About My Fanfictions: Although I have many favorite pairings, I will mostly if not always be writing yaoi or shounen-ai for my most favorite series ever. It is the first in both my favorite anime and manga sections; Death Note. But if I do get an idea for a... I don't know, D.N.Angel story, then I will certainly venture out that way.
In terms of Light and L: It may be biased of me, but the names of these men were put in this order for a reason. I simply cannot see how L would ever be on top in this pairing, for a few reasons:
Reason 1: The only time in the series that Light is not aggressive is when he loses his memory of being Kira, and therefore, that is the only even partially acceptable time when he might be the uke. Even then, it seems unlikely that L would attempt to take control of Light in that way.
Reason 2: On top of Light's OCD and control-freak like demeanor, in most yaoi pairings, the majority of the focus is on the uke. I don't really care for Light, so I don't want the focus of the story to be on him.
Reason 3: In yaoi pairings, the more handsome of the two men is usually the seme, while the more shota of the two men is usually the uke. While I believe that L outranks Light in all categories, including those aforementioned, I also believe that he is far too adorable and fragile to be the seme. Think for a moment to Soubi and Ritsuka, if you will. It seems odd to have a 12-year-old cat boy inserting himself into a twenty-year-old man (who is much sexier than adorable), does it not?
Reason 4: Speaking of that, in most yaoi, pairings, the seme is older than the uke. However, this is not always the case. The pairng Light and L is fine the way it is, because not all pairings follow this trend. Nowaki and Hiroki, for example; in this pairing, the younger of the two is the seme.
Reason 5: No matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't be able to make L the type of character who acts dominantly, or would particularly care about dominance at all. Even if I warped his personality so that he was a completely different and unrecognizable person, the scenario wouldn't work. Let me show you what I mean. Here is how I would picture a "sex" scene if L was the seme.
L: *stares vacantly at the brunette beneath him* You look so helpless, Light-kun.
Light: *scoffs* And you look bored.
L: *sighs* That's because I am.
Light: *infuriated* Then why don't you make a move?
L: I don't have the drive. I wouldn't know how to begin.
Light: What do you mean?
L: This may come as a surprise to you, Light-kun, but I have never been with a man before.
Light: *taunting* And I bet you've never been with a woman, either!
L: Correct. I am your first.
Light: W-what? No, Ryuzaki. You meant to say, "You're my first."
L: That's what I said. I'm your first.
Light: Agh! This isn't working. Why don't you just admit that you're wrong?
L: Because, Light-kun, when the seme says something, it's supposed to sound well-thought-out, insightful, and perhaps even seductive.
Light: But that's the point! Your statement didn't sound like any of those things. You sounded so much more like...
L: An uke?
Light: Yeah.
L: Then I wonder why I'm on top.
Light: It seems to go against what is just and fair.
L: *rolls his eyes* There you go, again, Light-kun. You always think that life has to be fair, and work out in your favor. Life isn't fair, Light. Maybe if you were a little more mature, you would understand that fact.
Light: Oh, please. You sound like my father.
L: I hope you don't want me to say, "Who's your daddy?"
Light: Please don't.
L: I believe this would be much more captivating if you were on top. I'm not very expressive but you, you were born to act. You were able to convince everyone that you were not Kira. Except for me.
Light: *eyes widen*
L: *grins* What'll it be, Yagami?
See? No sex, no penetration, no nothing. Although L did corner Light in the end, that was only because I love him, and he deserves to play with the mind of a murderer, if only a little bit. In the ways described above and displayed in this LXLight attempt, it is not possible for L to be the seme. The "sex" would just become another attempt at unveiling Kira's identity, which would put a damper on the mood. Therefore, the relationship would and could not develop, and the entire scenario would be not only improbable, but also unsuccessful.
But then again, that's only my opinion. And that is why there are multiple pairings out there, for people who have different opinions.
Diversity is what makes the world go 'round. *winks*

"Well, that is his specialty." Light to L

"Actually, I've found that as long as you burn calories by using your brain, you don't gain weight." - L to Misa
"This is what you meant by working together 24 hours a day? By looking at you, I never would have guessed. Are you on that side of the fence, Ryuzaki?" - Misa to L
"Oh... Hey, Light! -L waves- How's it going?" - L to Light
"Hey, do you wanna grab some cake with me in the cafeteria? I'm kinda craving shortcake right now." - L to Light
"What's wrong? You've been staring at me for the last two minutes. Oh, I get it. You're jealous because I'm the only one eating cake at the moment, am I right? Here! -L offers cake-" - L to Light
"In fact, now that you mention it, I think I wanted you to be Kira." - L to Light
"Kira is childish and hates to lose. He's just like me. I am also childish and I hate to lose." - L to the Task Force Members
"For a 17 year old kid, I wouldn't say this behavior is particularly abnormal. When I was his age, I did strange things, too." - L to Soichiro Yagami (Light's father)
"If you cannot win the game, if you cannot solve the puzzle, you are just a loser." - Near to the SPK
"Light Yagami, you've lost the game." - Near to Light
"Tell me, Light. Since the moment you were born, has there ever been a time when you've told the truth?" - L to Light
"That's right. By showing my face to you now, I have lost the battle. But I'm not gonna lose the war." - L to the Task Force Members
"I will hunt you down wherever you're hiding and I will eliminate you! I am... Justice!" - L and Light to each other... Simultaneously...
December 4, 2009: First snow(as of yesterday)! As they say in Illinois, we have 4 seasons; winter, more winter, almost winter, and construction. If that didn't get a chuckle, then I'm in the wrong line of work... And HARERUYA, as the Japanese would pronounce it, for I have just read up to Chapter 46 of the amazing CheyanneChika's "Takahiro Finds Out". Other than Mari Kazara and Miss Plague, Cheyanne is my favorite FanFiction.Net author. You may be wondering why I've been reading Junjou Romantica fanfictions instead of working on my own less-than-amazing-always-packed-with-boys Death Nots fics, but I assure you that I am working on it. For every chapter I type up, I write it out before then, and Chapter 6 of "Ten Years Later" is now over 15 pages long... Bye-bye, Birthday-kun... I will be updating again soon, so until then, may Chuck Norris be with you...always. :D
December 31, 2009: Wow... The last login was 27 days ago... HEY, 27 is one of my lucky numbers. -L appears- L: Bang! Me: -glomps L until he leaves- Right, then. Happy New Year, everybody! -Updates "Junjou ABC's"- Chapter 2 is up, so please go and "check it out". :D
January 12, 2010: Yay, it's a new year! And I have no resolutions! WOOT! Chapter 3 of "Junjou ABC's" is up... This is the part where I'm supposed to ask that you review it or something... But I'll leave that to you.
January 13, 2010: It's extremely rare that I would be on FanFiction.Net on consecutive days, but I happen to have a computer in front of me, so one of my first thoughts was, "FANFICTION. NOW." Yeah, so... If I can get back on the computer later, there will be a new, completed story/poem thing up. It all depends...
June 23, 2010: My current obsessions are as follows:
1. Naoki Urasawa's "Monster"
2. "Nana"
3. "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood"
4. "Kuroshitsuji" as the anime, "Black Butler" as the manga
July 10, 2010: The ninth chapter of Junjou ABC's was posted a few days ago. I am very thankful to everyone who read it, subscribed to it, or left a review. Reviews make me super duper happy. X3 I will most likely update again in a few days, so there's something to look forward to. I had a great time with my very best friend this weekend. We got together, and things got a little insane. I would like them to stay that way, so I hope with all my might that she does not move away... Also, I know that I've pretty much only updated Junjou ABC's for a while, but I'm working on the other stories. Everything takes time...

I have some larger commercial accounts also, but more concerned with the smaller stuff. Right now I'm running 52" Standers, but just thinking about the biggest machine I can get with my next purchase?

So, the credits of the HD broadcast are messed up again... they show characters not actually in the episode. But with the "next week on Young Justice" promo, they make sense.
What's in the promo? The Team (mostly Wally) fighting Vandal Savage in the snow. Wally has a backpack. The credits of the episode list some familiar faces:
- Brick returns.
- Steve Blum as Vertigo and Rudy West
- Hugo Strange returns
- Nicole Dubuc returns as Iris
- Bruce Greenwood as Pieter Cross - better known in the comics as Doctor Mid-Nite
- Cree Summer as Mary West and Mattie Harcourt. Mattie was a Supergirl (Linda Danvers) supporting cast member. She's a medical resident.
- Ariel Winter returns as Perdita, from the Showcase.
- I kinda miss George Eads as Flash. It's supposed to be a Kid Flash episode and he's got no lines?
Now... based on the logline, and the main enemy (that rumor was right, apparently) it made me think...
Pieter Cross is a doctor. Mattie is also medical. The first issue of Flash Volume 2 (with Wally West as the Flash) involved a storyline where he had to transport a donor heart cross country, and he was opposed by Vandal Savage in that story. He wore the heart in a backpack, and he fought in the snow...
Rundown of the story (Flash Vol 2 1):
Wally celebrates his birthday with the Titans. He's called out to the hospital to deliver a donor heart to an old lady. He has to run from NYC to Seattle. In the snow near Thermopolis, Wyoming, he spots a man being murdered, but by the time he has stopped to check, the attacker is gone and the man dying. He can only tell him it's Vandal Savage... Vandal attacks Wally, but he gets away. Local police don't believe him much. He continues, delivers the heart, old lady is thankful. She turns out to be a writer, knows of and warns him about Vandal Savage. Flash needs to rest, eat, etc. Takes a plane back to NYC. Stops a hijacking along the way. Back in New York, his birthday guests are all gone. Sits down by the TV, realizes he's won the lottery. Spots a present unopened on the table. He opens it; it's a human heart. Vandal turns on the light and tells him he'll kill him.
And a couple of issues later, Vandal Savage still hasn't killed Flash and gives up.
Edit: for those interested, the full credits:
- Lacey Chabert as Zatanna
- Stephanie Lemelin as Artemis
- Jesse McCarthy as Robin
- Danica McKellar as Miss Martian
- Khary Payton as Aqualad, Brick
- Jason Spisak as Kid Flash
- Steven J. Blum as Count Vertigo, Rudy West, Henchy
- Nicole Dubuc as Iris West-Allen
- Miguel Ferrer as Vandal Savage
- Bruce Greenwood as Batman, Pieter Cross
- Adrian Pasdar as Hugo Strange
- Cree Summer as Mary West, Mattie Harcourt
- Ariel Winter as Perdita

Marshmallow is a character in the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen. He is the personal bodyguard of Elsa. He is voiced by Paul Briggs.
In Elsa's palace, Anna arrives to bring Elsa back to Arendelle. When Anna refuses to leave Elsa when the latter wishes to be alone, Elsa creates Marshmallow to force Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf out of the castle. Anna, however, frustratingly throws a snowball at Marshmallow, angering the snowman. He then pursues the trio until they are cornered at a cliff. Marshmallow then tries to pull Kristoff and Anna back up from their escape rope until Anna cuts it. This causes the two to fall, so Marshmallow takes his leave.
When Elsa's castle comes under attack by Arendelle's soldiers, Marshmallow helps protect it by smashing away the soldiers. However, one of the men, Hans, slices Marshmallow's leg off, causing Marshmallow to become imbalanced. While Hans continues to the castle, Marshmallow tries to grab him, only to lose balance and plummet in the chasm surrounding the castle.
After the credits, it is revealed that Marshmallow survived, and he's seen limping back into the palace where all he finds is a shattered piece of glass. The monster happily crowns himself ruler of the palace and restores his wounded body to perfect health, happily continuing his life on the mountains.
MCF and the Ice QueenEdit
In MCF and the Ice Queen, he portrays the same role as he does in the movie except he is shown to be protecting Elsa and Tricia.

We're not terribly surprised that the Dodge Viper ACR has apparently made it around the famed German racing circuit faster than pretty much anything else you'll find on a dealer's lot. After all, the ACR is a race car, as evidenced by the video that Motor Trend has posted. The most venomous Viper has done the deed in 7:22, fast enough to make grown men cry. this result is FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, who pilots a Leon TFSi for SEAT Team Holland. On his fourth attempt, he established an amazing 7:22.1 (first two laps-a 7:42 and a 7:35 and third 7:24).

Meara Falk always followed her parents' rules, until one night in March when the temptation to let loose changed her life forever.
Nine months later, disowned and with a baby on her hip, she discovers werewolves exist after being on the wrong end of some teeth and claws. During her first change, werewolves attack, stealing her son and driving her out of her home.
Now she's looking for the man who kidnapped her baby and turned her life upside down. Meara's son is in the middle of a threatened war between two powerful packs. Getting him back will jeopardize the lives of everyone she loves.

Interview with Meara Falk
"I have been given the opportunity to interview Meara Falk. She's been living with the Miami Valley Pack for a few weeks now, but has agreed to talk to us in hopes that we might be able to help her find her son, Julian," I said.
A soft knock on the door to the office could barely be heard. "Come on in." The door opened to reveal Meara's average frame standing in the hallway. Her head was tilted somewhat towards the floor allowing her red hair to fall into her face.
"Are you ready for me?" Meara asked a little more confidently than her posture would have suggested.
"Come on in and sit down. Let's talk about what's been happening." I motioned to the chair in front of me.
Meara shuffled into the room, closing the door behind her and taking a seat in the chair. "What do you want to know?"
"Well to start with, how are you handling things?"
"How am I handling things?…Not very well I guess. Garret, my alpha, has been giving me orders constantly to try to keep me under control. Apparently I'm not like the rest of the pack and let my emotions get the better of me. I didn't go through postpartum after Julian was born, but I am guessing that now that he is gone, that's basically what is happening to me." Meara pushed her hair behind her ears allowing me to see her puffy red-rimmed eyes.
"I would think that is perfectly normal. What mother wouldn't go crazy or get depressed not being able to see their baby every day?"
"It's not just that though. When Raechel showed up at the house, I couldn't control my wolf. I don't know if I hurt her or not because she took control for both of us, but I suspect that I may have one of the people that got to Raechel when she asked to be turned. I don't know if I can live with myself knowing that I helped kill her."
"Kill her? Is Raechel actually dead??" I searched Meara's face trying to discover what Raechel's fate had become.
"Well she's not dead today. She's been in and out of consciousness, and the doctor said that at any time her body might decide not to become a werewolf. So she might die any minute. I have been told not to go near her, so I really don't know how she's doing." A single tear streaked down her face which she quickly wiped away.
"Let's move on to something else. You've had a lot of heartache so unfortunately most of my questions don't have happy results. For instance, did you ever think that your parents would truly disown you or react the way they did when you found out you were pregnant?"

Hello, my name's Catherine, and... I'm a full time blogger. *Lets out a deep sigh of relief*
Six months ago I wouldn't have dreamt in a million years I'd be saying (writing) that. At all. Yet here I am, at my PC, telling you that I have done the unthinkable: I left my full time job after 11 years to work on the blog and be my own boss as a writer/publisher... I left in June and have been trying to decide what to do since then. I thought I knew; a few months of internships (even at the ripe old age of 41) followed by a full time job in Social Media. And that would be that.
But doing the blog full time was so much more enjoyable than I expected. I had time to Tweet. I could post extra things on Facebook. I found time to finally get to grips with Google+. I drafted tons of posts for my Musings Mondays and Phototips. I signed up to lots of opportunities I would normally have had to turn down due to having a 9-5. I even interviewed Gok Wan up in London even though it was a weekday and hey, I could go any time.
So I am letting you know, lovely (and loyal) readers, that Not Dressed As Lamb is here to stay - I'm setting up my own business as a writer. It's going to be a tough old struggle and this is the big crunch: I therefore need to earn a living. I want you to know that I fully intend to maintain the integrity of my blog, despite having to monetise it, and I promise to bring you the same amount of outfit posts, musings and photo tips I've always produced. I may also throw in some sponsored posts, but I wish to write them myself and make them good. And interesting to read. (That may mean an awful lot more work for me - I could just accept pre-written posts for cash, but who wants to read those?) But in order to keep the blog going I do need to monetise it to some extent. I will, however, always have your interests at heart, because if neither of us are liking what I'm writing, then there's not much point, is there.
So fear not, dear reader. I promise to keep your interests my number one priority, along with my love for writing stuff for you (and my sanity). Cross my heart and kiss my elbow.
I'm also available for hire. As a writer.
This bit I have to shout from the rooftops... this is where I am unashamedly telling the world that I will write stuff for them. So I guess I am now a freelance writer. No, I am a freelance writer. I'm currently freelancing ad hoc for an digital agency and doing a lot of copywriting about all sorts of subjects, from recruitment to horses to engineering, so doing research is not a problem. Of course I'd love to write about style and fashion all the time, but meantime I'm happy to write about anything (within reason, I should say), and I actually rather enjoy the diversity of subjects I've been covering.
So - does your company need blog posts written for them? Do you have articles that need writing (on any subject)? Is it a one-off assignment or an on-going project? I'll consider them all. I might even continue writing the screenplay I started writing in 1996. Or adapt it into a novel. Who knows.
If you have something to propose and want to get in touch, drop me an email: notdressedaslamb(at)gmail(dot)com - please do pass this onto anyone you think might need to hire a copywriter. Alternatively here's a link to my online writing portfolio:
Weirdly, English (or rather, writing) was my best subject at primary school. My mum always said it was a shame I stopped writing because she loved reading my over dramatic, lengthy prose. So it seems it's a full circle that's taken more than 30 years to go round.
But I meant what I said about maintaining integrity. I'll keep our best interests at heart, and at the same time hopefully earn a little to keep the blog alive and well. If you want to support the blog and get yourself a bit of advertising at the same time, why not take out an ad in my sidebar? Two birds, one stone. Hopefully lots more stones thrown your way.
So that's me: a brand new, truly scary start at the age of 41. I can't wait...!
P.S. You may be wondering how I'll afford to live. I took (mutual) redundancy from work, plus I have a supportive husband who works full time - but we still have a mortgage to pay. We're going to treat the blog as we would a baby: I gave up a full time job to look after a baby, we have to therefore scrimp and save to live on one income. And bring up a baby. But I'm hoping that within a couple of years that baby will become a chimney sweep or go down the mines and earn me some money out in the big wide world. Here's hoping.

Green Missile is Luigi's Side Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Global Apocalypse. It can be charged for about three seconds, and once let go, Luigi is launched sideways like a rocket, the disance and damage being based on how long he charged. The move also has a chance to be a "misfire", that acts like if it was fully charged, but more powerful.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. Dodge automobile owners have become used to a certain level of reliable transport when driving their D200 around town. Car aficionados appreciate the a quality brand built into each Dodge, and know that only the best replacement D200 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your D200.
You can't get great gas mileage and horsepower at the same time without the best air intake and fuel delivery parts. The fuel filter in your car or truck removes tiny bits of dirt and debris from your fuel that could potentially end up in the engine. These particulates negatively affect how powerful and efficient the engine is in your Dodge D200, because it could clog injectors and/or reduce the octane of your fuel. When your Dodge D200 fuel filter gets filled with the particulates that it is filtering, less fuel will reach the engine and you'll feel the same negative symptoms. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Bring your D200 back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Fuel Filter bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best repair parts. Dodge D200 Fuel Filter parts for 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

A JOCKEY'S mother has launched a catering business after being inspired by her son's eating habits.
Flat jockey Jacob Butterfield has ridden 34 winners so far in 2014, working with Malton trainers Ollie Pears, Kristin Stubbs and Brian Ellison.
But at 5ft 8ins, the 20-year-old is unusually tall for his profession.
As a result he has to work constantly to keep his weight down at 8st 6lb, while also maintaining enough energy for the sport.
After years of cooking for her son, Sally Butterfield has now opened her own healthy food business – Sally's Kitchen On The Green, in Clifton, York, The café also offers a dial a roast service for takeaway Sunday dinners.
Mrs Butterfield said: "With Jacob being so tall for a jockey, he has worked so hard to get the opportunities that he now enjoys. I've always wanted to run a business like this and Jacob's racing has given me the spur.
"My passion in life has always been food. As well as the dial-a-roast service I'm more than happy for people to bring in their veg from the allotment and I can make a soup for them."

The golden rule of body lotion application is to "apply immediately after shower to seal in moisture." So you could safely say I'm a failure at lotion. I always have the best intentions of applying lotion when I get out of the shower, but in reality, it happens not very often. By the time I get out of the shower and I do my facial skin care, I'm rushing to get makeup and clothes on, and then the clothes are on, so another opportunity for moisturized skin has bitten the dust.
I first discovered the idea of lotioning in the shower during a stroll through one of my favorite stores to stroll through, Lush. I found a thing called a lotion bar that you use in the shower. In the shower! I thought it would be a game changer, which it was, and it has definitely been a skin changer! After finishing your shower, you just grab the lotion bar and smooth it over the areas needing moisture. The lotion glides on, absorbing quickly and easily. Then simply pat dry. The scent and softness last all day like a champ. Genius, right?!
While I love this Lush product, I'm a scent girl. I like a variety of scents in my life, and this bar comes in just one scent. It isn't offensive by any means, but I'm not in love with it either. A scent that I am a big fan of is lavender. Lavender anything! It's my scent mood transporter. I scoured my favorite resource, Pinterest, to see if I could find a recipe to make my own DIY lotion bars. After some experimenting with different ingredients and recipes, I found a winner! And they are reeeeeally easy to make!
Lavender In-Shower Lotion Bars
Makes 6 bars
I got all of my ingredients on either eBay or Amazon; I'm including affiliate links below:
1 cup Beeswax pellets (the pellets are much easier to work with and melt than bulk!)
1 cup Shea Butter
1 cup Coconut Oil
½ teaspoon Lavender Oil (or your favorite essential oil)
To make the lotion bars you can use a 6 cup muffin pan or a silicone soap mold.
We're not baking here, so precision (or lack thereof) isn't a deal breaker.
Using a 4 cup measuring cup, stack the ingredients. Start with filling the measuring cup with 1 cup of the shea butter. Pack it down good with a spatula, it's pretty thick (think brown sugar).
Follow with coconut oil…
And finally top with beeswax.
Pop the measuring cup in the microwave, and cook on high for 1 minute. Take out and stir; cook for another minute. Repeat 2 more times or until the mixture has completely liquified (my microwave melts the mixture in 4 minutes total). The beeswax will be the last thing to melt.
Once melted, stir in the lavender oil.
Immediately pour liquid into molds (it begins to harden quickly!)
Let the liquid settle for about 5 minutes (so it doesn't spill everywhere when you transport it!) and then move into the refrigerator. Keep refrigerated for at least 1 hour.
* If you use a muffin tin, I recommend moving it to the freezer instead of fridge so that they pop out of the tin easier.
Remove from the fridge or freezer. If you use the silicone mold, the bars pop right out as you push down on the bottoms. If using a tin, place tin upside down on top of a piece of parchment or wax paper and tap the bottom of the cups with a large spoon.
And it's that simple!
If you would like to experiment with different scent combinations, I have found some great essential oil combos that I used in my DIY sugar scrubs.
These DIY lotion bars make great gifts as well… I like to wrap them in parchment paper and put a sticker on them (I used 2″ Avery labels, and used one of their design templates on avery.com).
Here's to the end of dry skin forever!
Have a wonderful week!

("ValiRx", "the Company" or "the Group")
London, UK., 13 October 2016: ValiRx Plc (AIM: VAL), a life science company, which focuses on clinical stage cancer therapeutic development, taking proprietary & novel technology for precision medicines towards commercialisation and partnering, is pleased to provide an update on recent presentations.
A presentation, in the form of a poster, was given by the Company and its Principle Clinical Investigator at the prestigious European Society for Medical Oncology ("ESMO") Conference on Monday, 10 October 2016 in Copenhagen.
The presentation provided data from the Company's "First-in-human (FIH) phase I/II, dose escalation and pharmacokinetic (PK) study to show the safety and tolerability of VAL201 in patients with advanced prostate cancer and other advanced solid tumours."
The poster showed early indications of efficacy in advanced prostate cancer with no drug-related serious adverse events recorded, as was previously announced via RNS on 13 September 2016. The study continues with expansion into other tumour types. An Endometriosis trial is also being planned.
A link to the poster will shortly be made available on the 'News' section of the ValiRx website: www.valirx.com.
The Company also recently gave presentations to investors at the Shares Investor Evening in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 5 October 2016 and at the Proactive Investor One2One Forum in Mayfair, London on Thursday, 6 October 2016.
A video link to Dr George Morris, COO's presentation in Edinburgh is also available on the 'News/Video' section of the ValiRx's website.
All of these events were well attended.
ValiRx intends to continue presenting clinical data at various international conferences in the future and it will update the market on progress regularly.
Dr Satu Vainikka, CEO, commented:
"We are delighted with the enthusiastic reception from the international biopharma community over our progress in oncology therapeutic development in this exciting new personalized field of medicine".
"We are extremely pleased with the results of our clinical trials and of the preliminary results on endometriosis. We look forward to updating the market on developments in due course".

Notes for Editors
ValiRx Plc
ValiRx is a biotechnology oncology focussed company specialising in developing novel treatments for cancer and associated biomarkers. It aims to make a significant contribution in "precision" medicine and science, namely to engineer a breakthrough into human health and well-being, through the early detection of cancer and its therapeutic intervention.
The Company's business model focuses on out-licensing therapeutic candidates early in the development process. By aiming for early-stage value creation, the company reduces risk considerably while increasing the potential for realising value. The group is already in licensing discussions with major players in the oncology field.
ValiRx's three classes of drugs in development, which each have the potential for meeting hitherto unmet medical needs by existing methods, have worldwide patent filings and agreed commercial rights. They originate or derive from Word class institutions, such as Cancer Research UK and Imperial College.
Until recently, cancer treatments relied on non-specific agents, such as chemotherapy. With the development of target-based agents, primed to attack cancer cells only, less toxic and more effective treatments are now possible. New drugs in this group-such as those in ValiRx's pipeline-promise to greatly improve outcomes for cancer patients.
The Company listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange in October 2006 and trades under the ticker symbol: VAL.

Extract of sample
He was motivated to write by the social malaise where the national order of priesthood was abolished and the humanity lost any sight of morality (Paine n.pag.). Paine was a staunch believer of God, of human equality, of religious duties, but he was not a believer of the theological doctrines of the Jewish, Roman, Greek, Turkish, Mythologists, and the Protestant church (Paine n.pag.). He is, in its existentialist fashion, a believer of his mind as his own church. For him, the structures established by these prominent religious denominations were aimed at monopolizing power and were actually promoting enslavement for profit (Paine n.pag.). For him, these religious orders contravene the fundamental precept that for man to be happy, he should be mentally faithful to himself (Paine n.pag.). For Paine lies, a perjury of human mind, are destructive for human morality (Paine n.pag.). For him, there is an adulterous connection between the church and the state (Paine n.pag.). He supposed that revelations were only true to the person whom they were revealed, and the rest was hearsay (Paine n.pag.). Likewise he interposed that the concept of trinity was a reduction of pluralism, and the beliefs of statuses is not different from deification, canonization, or of idolatry (Paine n.pag.). ...

Engaged Buddhist response to Consumerism.
In the twenty-first century, people live in a technologically-advanced world. Everything is done with a touch of a button. Perhaps, the saying that "an idle mind is the devil's workshop," is true because the more free time man has, the more time he spends on whining about how miserable life is and how only a new gadget or material possession could make him feel better. Conspicuous consumption is the name of the game. And consumerism is the rule.

Genres in the Book of Revelation
Considering the apocalyptic approach, there exists no clear proof that the author had found basis on non-canonical Jewish apocalyptic literature despite the efforts of comparison made between the Book of Revelation and non-biblical Jewish writings within the span 200 BC to AD 200. Revelation evidently utilizes symbolism and visions with surreal imagery of beasts and angelic mediators, declares divine judgment, emphasizes the kingdom of God, prophesies a new heavens and a new earth, and consists of a dualism of ages.

Literary Forms in the Book of Job and Ecclesiastes
The book of Job has numerous frames narrative that arises from the shifts in voice, perspective, language, and scene. The most outstanding of all is the frame narrator who tells the story of Job from the perspective of God's eye. This is done through the prefacing of the book in Job 1:1 – 2:12, the introduction of most speeches in Job 3 – 42, and giving the conclusion in Job 42 from verse 7 to 17. The perspective of the omniscient narrator is written in prose form, and it stands together with a set of human speeches in Job chapter 3 to 42. It is also written in poetry, and it develops a...

How about the contrast between God's introductory picture, and the far more terrifying and resplendent one of the windstorm later on in the book? The author indicates that there are 2 dissimilar realities at work. The change from one to the other is indicated by the change to poetry from narrative (Mitchell, 1992). The introduction sketches out the ancient legend Job, a legend which was believably in existence for hundreds of years prior to the writing of this version.
