Skylark by Meagan Spooner
Sixteen year-old Lark Ainsley has never seen the sky.
Her world ends at the edge of the vast domed barrier of energy enclosing all that's left of humanity. For two hundred years the city has sustained this barrier by harvesting its children's innate magical energy when they reach adolescence. When it's Lark's turn to be harvested, she finds herself trapped in a nightmarish web of experiments and learns she is something out of legend itself: a Renewable, able to regenerate her own power after it's been stripped.
Forced to flee the only home she knows to avoid life as a human battery, Lark must fight her way through the terrible wilderness beyond the edge of the world. With the city's clockwork creations close on her heels and a strange wild boy stalking her in the countryside, she must move quickly if she is to have any hope of survival. She's heard the stories that somewhere to the west are others like her, hidden in secret – but can she stay alive long enough to find them?
Goodreads Summary
Meagan Spooner wrote an entirely unique, original book. Lark Ainsley's world runs like clockwork and is powered by magic. Each person is a cog in the perfectly running machine that is kept alive by magic Harvested from younger citizens. The Harvest is considered a rite of passage to adulthood, and Lark is excited when her name is finally called. Lark's Harvest is unusual though, and repeated (all citizens are only to be Harvested once) after she answers some questions and takes a few tests. At this point, Lark realizes that she is a Renewable, someone who generates their own magic. Lark then learns a horrible secret; Renewables are enslaved and forced to painfully power the city nonstop. If Lark wants to avoid that fate, she must escape and leave the only home she has ever known if she has any hope of surviving and finding safety.
Lark is a likable heroine. She is naïve, but tough and a good friend. Lark braves the war- ravaged land outside the city and tries to understand her gift. Spooner does a great job with description and detail. I felt like I was walking next to Lark everywhere she went, seeing and hearing everything she did. Another significant skill Megan Spooner has was the ability to foreshadow events without giving them away. I could feel anticipation building, but was never certain of how the events would playout. I really enjoyed reading Skylark and highly recommend this book to readers over the age of fourteen of either gender. This book could be appreciated by anyone and earns five out of five stars from me.

HOLY SHIZ. THAT BOOK SOUNDS AWESOME. Human battery? Already love it.
Jennifer Messerschmidt said...:
Cool idea! Magic that powers the city. But sucks for Lark to be Renewable! A guess they enslave a bunch of them to be the big energy sources. I love tough heroines.
Jaime Lester said...:
Thanks for your review of Skylark. I knew from that first sentence, the one with the words "unique" and "original", that I would be reading this book as soon as it is released. The premise of the book definitely captured my attention, and I think the cover is really beautiful. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention. I am glad I won't miss out on a Live to Read 5 star book!
Lili said...:
Honestly, this premise seems beyond interesting. A world that runs like clockwork because all humans that are living are the cogs is beyond original! I've seen several reviews about this book. While you're the only 5 star review I've seen, I have seen some other really high reviews and I think I'm gonna check this book out!

Best to Worst of 2002

I'll update this list every time I see a new 2002 film.
Side note: I don't include the Harry Potter or Star Wars movies because that sh*t is too close to the heart to rate.

Template driven formatting
Entity Formatter can generate custom PHP classes for your entities, which make theming of the entities and its fields easier.
Access your field values in an easy way and format and print them in your template. Regain full control about your field markup and CSS classes!
For example you could use this code in your node--page.tpl.php file:
// Create the entity formatter object.
$page = new PageNodeFormatter($node);

// Access each field via a get method,
// and use convenient formatting methods depending on the field type.
print $page->getBody()->summary(250);

// You can easily iterate over multi value fields.
foreach ($page->getImages() as $image) {
print $image->setImageStyle('thumbnail')->img();
// Want more control? You can just get the src path with any image style!
print 'src() . '" class="my-image-class">';
Why should I use this module?
The main benefits are:
- Place your formatting logic in your entity template.
- Fully control your markup and CSS classes in your entity template.
- Easy access of formatted and semi-formatted field values.
- Make use of code completion tools in your IDE for printing fields.
Supported fields
Currently all core fields are supported plus some special fields:
- Link
- Date
- Entity Reference
- Field Collection fields (treated like Entity Reference fields)
- Paragraphs fields (treated like Entity Reference fields)
- Addressfield
- Telephone
- Viewfield (Patch needed: href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2451779">https://www.drupal.org/node/2451779)
The module provides a single drush command "entity-formatter-make" or short "efm".
drush efm node --bundles=page,article --module=entity_formatter_custom
This example generates formatter classes for page and article node types and place them in the entity_formatter_custom module (generating module if not exists).
By default the current content language is used for printing the fields.
If you use Entity Translation you need to patch Entity API to make multilingual fields to work with Entity Formatter (Patch here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2335357).
The code to generate the classes is taken from Wrappers Delight module, which was also a great source of inspiration for this module.
PHP Version
PHP 5.3 or higher required.

Internationally best-selling author Julie Myerson's beautifully written yet deeply chilling novel of psychological suspense explores the tragedies - past and present - haunting a picturesque country cottage.
Mary Coles and her husband, Graham, have just moved to a cottage on the edge of a small village. The house hasn't been lived in for years, but they are drawn to its original features and surprisingly large garden, which stretches down into a beautiful apple orchard. It's idyllic, remote, picturesque: exactly what they need to put the horror of the past behind them.
One hundred and fifty years earlier, a huge oak tree was felled in front of the cottage during a raging storm. Beneath it lies a young man with a shock of red hair, presumed dead - surely no one could survive such an accident. But the red-haired man is alive and, after a brief convalescence, is taken in by the family living in the cottage and put to work in the fields. The children all love him, but the eldest daughter, Eliza, has her reservations. There's something about the red-haired man that sits ill with her. A presence. An evil.
Back in the present, weeks after moving to the cottage and still drowning beneath the weight of insurmountable grief, Mary Coles starts to sense there's something in the house. Children's whispers, footsteps from above, half-caught glimpses of figures in the garden. A young man with a shock of red hair wandering through the orchard.
Has Mary's grief turned to madness? Or have the events that took place so long ago finally come back to haunt her?

Despair in a depressing countryPosted by Alexander Hay
We don't have to be so enthusiastic about being miserable
It is not much of a surprise to discover that prescriptions of anti-depressants are at an all-time high. GPs now dish out 23 million prescriptions for chemical coshes, an increase of 43% since 2006. Our woeful economy is blamed, or the lack of jobs, but never the real culprit.
Because life in the UK is depressing. The people are surly, the weather dreadful, the popular culture increasingly mind-numbing, the landscape dominated by an ugly, barely functional architecture, and a government presently lead by those who would remove even more of the welfare state and public services that alleviate some of that misery. Only money matters, but even that can't fill the hole in the national psyche.
There is much to be depressed about. If another crash doesn't happen, the economy remains in the doldrums. People working in later life can now expect to toil until they are 67, while having little reassurance that their pensions and savings are secure?
Adults will struggle to afford a house, work in an increasingly competitive workplace with little job security and will often have huge university debts to pay off.
Younger people will have even more debts, less housing, even fewer jobs and lower standards of living than their parents and grandparents. They all have every reason to be depressed.
The problem is also, however, due to aspects of the national character. Depression is in fact repressed, internalised anger. We live in a nasty, unfortunate culture where thugs, bullies, jobsworths, dolts and crooks prevail - all the rage that ensues is natural but there is no way to vent it.
So instead we engage in the national sport of passive aggression and accept the abuse either through a lack of courage or by rationalising it as 'a bit of a laugh'. And so the depression deepens.
But there is another trait which the British like to see as a virtue, but is really a corrosive rot. It is our prevailing cynicism, our confusing genuine wit and insight with a sneering contempt for anything and everything.
It is, not coincidentally, the outlook of depressed, miserable, angry but impotent people who complain a lot but don't actually do anything.
Irony upon ironies, it is irony that shows us how deep the rot has gone. The British are world leaders in it. But as a dead Danish philosopher (I won't name him, because - hey! - that's a little too much commitment these days) put it, at its worst, irony is a kind of nihilism, and nihilism in the end eats itself.
We're so busy being sarcastic and heckling our own existences that any value we ascribe to our lives has long since been cast aside. We don't believe in anything or aspire beyond an expensive house because, after all, that would be a bit uppity, and besides, it's not like you can change anything. The alternative is a void.
So instead we slowly destroy ourselves with brutally calculating politics and mass media, empty consumerism, apathy, the pursuit of brief, ugly pleasures and contempt for ideals. Or pills, nice strong pills. A cure for all traumas, and a sedated delirium we need never leave.

I have been busy de-cluttering my house. My "pantry" was in some desperate need of help. I don't know if you can even call it a pantry… but it's where we store our food. lol. Someday I would LOVE a walk in pantry, but for now this works great!
The first step in the organizing process was buying some containers. Yes I have one dedicated to candy. :) I bought the containers at Ikea and Dollar tree to store the smaller items in. My cupboard/pantry is SO deep… things were getting pushed to the back that weren't seen for months!
Then I made some cute (SIMPLE) labels. I used the Pharmacy font. I love that font!
I also threw out TONS of food in the process. I'm hoping it can stay organized so things don't go to waste.
Awe… much cleaner! I wish I would have taken a before picture…yikes!
And yes my *almost* 2 year old still eats baby food. He refuses to eat vegetables, but will still eat them out of baby food jars. Weird, yes… but if he's getting some sort of veggies I'm happy!
This cupboard is my sneaky "hiding spot" for all the extra snacks. There's lots more in the bottom cabinet too.
Then there's the food storage closet. About six months ago I was determined to start building up my food storage supply. We turned our coat closet into the food storage closet. Shelf Reliance sent me one of their Consolidators to review and I have LOVED it. I loved it so much I went out and bought two more. I still think I need one more, I just don't have the room right now. I love how it organizes the food, and makes it SO easy to use my food storage.
The Cansolidator Pantry is a front loading system that automatically rotates up to 40 cans. This adjustable, expandable, stackable system takes the hassle out of can rotation and allows you to organize cans the way YOU want. The Cansolidator is easy to assemble and guarantees a more organized pantry in minutes. Sturdy, compact, and reliable, the Cansolidator Pantry is the perfect stand-alone solution for any pantry.
Sometimes I buy to many cans… and they fit great on top as well! I seriously love these things! They make me happy. :) I love feeling organized!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
Join in! Leave a comment!
those labels are so cute! What did you make them with? A label maker or the computer?
haha I'm a college student just starting out in my first apartment and love organization. :) Your blog is too cute!

While it's important for professional photographers to shoot commission work to keep the studio lights on, we often need to reconnect with our passion for photography through self-produced work. APA|DC Speaks is a free new series in which we invite our members to share their personal projects to an audience of not only photographers but the general public as well.
Noah Willman begins this series with a project on the sport of Cricket in DC:
Although unknown by most, cricket's popularity has boomed throughout the US. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the nation's capital where over 150 teams made up of primarily Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Carribean players compete. Soon after moving to DC last June, Noah Willman spent 3 months documenting the Washington Cricket League in parks throughout the DC area.
Please join us at COVE, 1990 K Street NW, Washington, DC for this FREE event. The doors open at 6 pm, program begins at 6:30pm.
Many thanks to COVE K STREET for providing the space.
Punxatawney Phil, everyone's favorite rodent meteorologist, will be doing his annual prognosticating next Tuesday, February 2nd. Will he see his shadow, get freaked out, and jump back into his hole? (Which will bring six more weeks of winter.) Or, will he do the right thing and hang out for awhile, chat up the locals, and bring us an early spring?
Regardless of the outcome, we'll be gathering at James Hoban's in Dupont Circle to compare survival tales from the recent storm and knock down a few pints to ease our aching muscles. (And feel free to embellish your stories, that's kinda the point.)
As an added bonus, if Phil DOES see his shadow, and we are doomed to 6 more weeks of this yuck, than we'll buy a round for all current APA members!
When February 2nd, 6-8pm
1 Dupont Cir NW, Washington, DC 20036

Whadda year! 2015 was a very newsworthy one and in general it has left us all on the edge of our seats for the past 337+ days. Let's take a moment to celebrate all of our successes, and those of our friends and peers, while willfully ignoring the failures, before we close our books on another year.
We'll be congregating (not the most festive of words) at the MadHatter on December 17th for our umpteenth annual Members Only (+1!) holiday party. We provide for the food and a pair of drink tickets, you bring the conversation and cheer.
(Ugly sweaters optional.)
We'll be sharing your best work of 2015 on the TV, so please send your favorite images from the year, sized at >2000 px on the long end to Erika (firstname.lastname@example.com). Feel like bragging? Include some tear sheets!
Thursday, December 17th, 6-9pm
MadHatter –1319 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC
This is an APA members-only event (+1 guest).
(Did we mention that an annual membership makes a great end-of-year tax write-off?)
With cold weather inevitably comes cabin fever. Fight back those cold dreary days with another installment in our Coffee Break series at The National Building Museum on Wednesday, November 18th. Our guest will be architectural fine art photographer Colin Winterbottom, who currently has a show, Scaling Washington, up at the Museum.
We will meet in the café area at 11:30AM for an informal conversation with Colin Winterbottom.
This Event is Free, however if you choose to view the exhibit there is an entrance fee of $10. We have a limited number of guest passes at our disposal, so email Matthew Rakola if you're interested. There's only four, so it's first come, first served.

Lisbon Portugal has just risen to my top cities of the world list. It possesses all of the attributes travelers are looking for: Amazing food culture, safety, an incredible historic city center and above all the consistently friendly Portuguese people. It's easy to walk, bicycle or simply pull up a seat at the plethora of water front cafes and watch the world go by. Above a girl engages in the age old tradition of chasing pigeons on the waterfront by the "Quay of Columns"For more info o travel to Portugal go to: Visit Portugal

Flight Of The Conchords may be grounded
Flight Of The Conchords star Jemaine Clement says his offbeat HBO comedy series may not continue for a third season because it requires so much work.
Clement told Reuters that he needs to discuss the future of the show with his co-star Bret McKenzie and with director James Bobin.
"It very likely might not [return for a third season]," he said.
"It could come back in a shorter season or like a special," he added.
A final decision will be made within a month.
The largely autobiographical Flight Of The Conchords tells of two New Zealand bandmates named Jemaine and Bret who move to New York to try to make it in the music business.
This year, the show gained an Emmy nomination for best comedy series but lost to NBC's 30 Rock.
"We've left their future entirely in their hands," said Nancy Lesser, a spokeswoman for HBO.
"We would love to have more."

Project Stuck? Try Using A "Black Box."
When a scientist or engineer designs a new process, they run into many unknowns. That's expected when creating something from scratch. However, they could have so many unknowns, if they tried to solve each as they happened, they'd get mired in minutia and never finish the project.
To deal with these sticky spots, they put each unknown into a "black box." This serves as a placeholder for what they're missing. They assume what comes out of the black box is what they need to continue the path in the process. This allows them to progress without getting distracted.
They will come back to their black boxes later and figure them out, or find someone who can.
The black box technique can come in handy when us non-scientists get stuck on something.
For example, when working on your marketing plan, you know you should include a social media strategy. But, you don't know much about social media or the right tactics.
Your lack of knowledge may cause you to:
- (a) omit this as a strategy, or
- (b) head off to immediately become a social media expert.
If (a): You may miss a potentially critical strategy.
If (b): You've lost focus and spun off into a tangent.
Either way your plan may suffer.
So instead, insert a black box representing your social media strategy. Continue with the rest of your plan and return later to add the missing details.
Next time you get stuck on an idea, try using black boxes. Don't let a temporary lack of information hold you back.
Take care,
Paul Williams

The Official Fairy Tail Wiki Magazine, January 2015
God was last month's winner, but since chat has been glitchy and it's seldom full, I'll let him reserve the right to hold onto his moderator prize until chat is back up to it's usual capacity. It's not fair to take away someone's prize because of things that happen out of their control.
This month's puzzle isn't any one page on the wiki. It's simply going to be my personal thought, and there are probably several answers it could be, but for you to get it right, you need to reflect on Fairy Tail for the entire year of 2014 and January 2015.
The single most disappointing plot twist that Fairy Tail has seen thus far.
When I say plot twist, I mean plot twist. If you have paid any attention to what I have typed out on blogs, especially ones that discuss Fairy Tail fights or Fairy Tail in 2014. Have fun.
Zeref, having now arrived, tells Mard Geer that he did well before turning him back into a book, but not before he can refer to himself in the third person one last time to annoy me. Everyone is shocked to see Mard killed but Zeref says that he no longer has need for him. Looking at Natsu, Zeref says he wishes they could resolve their conflict there but Acnologia got in the way. He asks if Acnologia will end history again or will a miracle happen. Natsu being Natsu though has no idea what Zeref is saying. Zeref responds by saying that if Natsu survives, he will give him more despair, cause despair is the perfect reward for surviving catastrophe. After a long stare down between Zeref and Natsu, Zeref leaves, taking E.N.D.'s book with him, much to Gray's dismay. In the air above them, Acnologia strikes Igneel causing him to begin to fall. As he falls, he tells Natsu he must tell him something. He says there are two reasons he was living inside him. The first was as he said, to create antibodies to prevent Natsu from turning into a dragon. The second was for a chance to defeat Acnologia. Natsu rushes for Igneel but Igneel tells him to stay away. Igneel says he was waiting for this moment and rips off one of Acnologia's legs, but in exchange, Acnologia shreds half of Igneel's body. Igneel falls to the ground, telling Natsu he has been watching him and that he really grew up. With his dying breath, he says his days with Natsu were the happiest of his life and that Natsu gave him the power to love Humans.
This chapter was okay. I didn't really feel the impact of Igneel's death because he was never a major character. I get that it greatly affects Natsu but it doesn't affect the readers as we never grew close to Igneel. Meh chapter overall. Nothing great.
Beneath the ruined guild, Makarov states he didn't have the courage to unleash Lumen Histoire, to which Mavis says it simply means it wasn't time and to which I said, you bastard e_e. Outside, the members of Fairy Tail meet with Grandeeney, Weisslogia, Skiadrum and Metalicana. Grandeeney says thanks to Igneel, Acnologia was driven away. Grandeeney tells Wendy that she did well trying to destroy FACE and Wendy replies it was thanks to having Carla with her, because a useless cat gives you the power to destroy a world ending machine. Metalicana and Gajeel have a stare down before the dragon tells Gajeel he has that look in his eyes, to which Gajeel responds by telling him to shut up. Sting and Rogue then look at their dragons and state that they remember killing them. Weisslogia reveals that they can alter human memories and Skiadrum says that Igneel was against it but they did so anyway. Weisslogia then states that all the dragons are actually dead. Grandeeney says that long ago, their souls were extracted from their bodies by Acnologia's dragon slaying magic. The dragons hid in the dragon slayer's bodies to extend their lives. They say that Igneel couldn't defeat Acnologia as he was weakened from being half dead.
Elsewhere, Natsu mourns over Igneel's body. He says Igneel promised he wouldn't go anywhere and tells him to not break his promise. He tells Igneel that he learned to write and improved his magic and even got a job. Crying out, he says he has things he wants to tell Igneel. Looking on from afar, Happy breaks into tears. Back with the other dragons, Grandeeney states that it has come time for them to leave. Wendy cries and tells them not to go but Gajeel pats her on the head and says they should send them off in high spirits. The dragons then say some boring ass inspirational crap and then reveal Magna Carta is a pact between Dragons and Humans made 400 years ago. Wendy cries out to Grandeeney, to which the dragon says she loves her. Metalicana tells Gajeel he still has that look in his eye, prompting Gajeel to ask what kind of crappy last words were those. Sting and Rogue thank their dragons before they disappear and Natsu still mourns over Igneel's disappearing body. Natsu reminisces over things Igneel had said to him before he stands up and declares he will live on and defeat Acnologia.
While I didn't care much for the 4 dragons and their little inspirational speeches, the sheer pain and torture Natsu was going through was really well done. Wendy was dumb per usual but Gajeel's interactions with Metalicana was nice. Overall, a pretty good chapter.
A week later, Lucy sits in her room looking out the window as Aquarius's broken key lays on her desk. Elsewhere, members of Fairy Tail gather to overlook the destroyed guild. Mirajane asks if Makarov will rebuilt it but he says no. Everyone mopes about it as Elfman still whines like a little bitch that its all his fault. Meanwhile, Laxus awakens from his coma as the other members of the Thunder God Tribe greet him. Laxus calls himself pathetic before he pulls everyone into a group hug and states that at this rate, he wont be able to protect everyone he cares for. Back with the others, Lucy calls Cancer to fix Wendy's hair before Carla and Panther Lily discuss the state of their dragon slayers. Carla says Wendy is staying strong, but Gajeel is not doing so well as Panther Lily points out Gajeel slumped over and laying down by some trees as Levy tells him he can't do that there. The two Exceed then state their worry for Natsu but Panther Lily says he will be okay as he has Happy with him.
At Natsu's house, Natsu asks Happy how much money they have, to which Happy replies they have 13 million jewels. They banter that they should have more but happily move on as they start their new adventure. At his parents' graves, Gray mourns the loss of his father. Juvia then arrives, having followed Gray. She tells him that she is the one who killed Keith and thus killed Silver. Initially mad, Gray grabs her but soon breaks and buries himself in her chest and says thank you. He frantically apologizes to her before saying she is warm. Meanwhile, Erza sits alone, remembering being tortured by Tartarus and associating it with her childhood. Suddenly, Jellal and the new members of Crime Sorciere walk by. Jellal tells Erza she will be okay and to keep on her path of light and he shall keep on his path of darkness and they will meet again someday.
At Sabertooth's guild, The Twin Dragons arrive back with Minerva, no longer a demon. Everyone is happy to see her back as she breaks into tears of joy. Back at the ruins of Fairy Tail, Doranbolt says he finished wiping everyone's memories of Lumen Histoire but doesnt want to erase his own. Makarov tells him its okay and says he will relieve him of his duty. He then rips the sleeve off Doranbolts shirt, as the Fairy Tail mark appears on his shoulder. In shock, Doranbolt asks what is going on as Makarov tells him he was always a member of Fairy Tail but erased his own memories when he was tasked with infiltrating the Magic Council. Makarov then states that this is the end of an era though as Fairy Tail will now dissolve. Lucy, at her apartment, walks in to find a note from Natsu saying that he and Happy are going on a journey. Meanwhile, the members of Fairy Tail all vow to become stronger.
So this chapter was long... and amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better wrap up to this arc. In all, I didn't really enjoy the arc that much, I thought there were too many asspulls and uninteresting fights. However, this chapter did a good job of nicely wrapping everything up. I greatly enjoyed it.
Gildarts being the fucking awesome man he is, punches a dinosaur and knocks it out. Natsu and Happy happen to stumble upon him, which leads to an excited reunion. The three eat, soak in a hot spring, get into a fight whilst naked and finally sleep. After they wake up, they have a solemn talk and then have a bout. Natsu holds his own against Gildarts and manages to knock him back a little, which causes Natsu to start laughing which is interrupted as an animal eats him. Happy is panicked but Gildarts shows off how fucking amazing he is as he blows up a whole mountain while trying to get Natsu back. With Natsu rescued, the two shake hands and part ways. Looking into the clouds, Gildarts sees his daughter and becomes very happy. However as he looks into his bag, he finds he took Natsu's bag by mistake and Natsu has his pervy magazines. Gildarts attacks Natsu to get it back as the real reason he cared so much for the magazines falls out, a picture of him and Cana together.
I loved this chapter. I love Gildarts. It was just perfect. My only complaint is that Gildarts is super amazingly awesome but never shows up in actual chapters. I want him to come back to the main story! Oh well, fantastic chapter.
So thats all for this month. Sorry for lack of gifs and pictures, I couldn't think of anything that would fit and rushed things. I promise a better article next month.
Welcome to what I hope to be the first of many issues of Family Tree.
In the time before time, when the network was still young, there were no wikis. There were no edit wars, there were no pages, there was no content, there was only ..... Chaos. Bored of the lack of activity in its life, Chaos went into a deep slumber, waking up only several years later, protected by its assortment of stuffed animals.
One day, Chaos happened upon a strange land created by a time-traveler named Retro7, who was lost in time, having jumped forward from the 1980s. Retro7 seemed to be a very chilled out person, dressed in a macked-out white suit and hat, dancing happily wherever he went. Needing a place to dance in his new era, Retro7 created a land titled after his new favorite series: The Fairy Tail Wiki. Chaos happening across this land was the most fortunate thing Retro7 could have wished for, as Chaos provided a much needed insight into the series which Retro could not. As the two began to work together, their connections began deepening. Despite not understanding Chaos' true gender, Retro7 did not care and continued doing as he wished. Understanding that this connection was now romantic, the two consummated their relationship in Chaos' apartment closet.
Surprisingly, both of them became pregnant simultaneously, despite Retro clearly being male. Both decided to continue their work throughout their pregnancies, and so the wiki continued to grow. Six months later, son Shock Dragoon and daughter Ishthak were born to Retro and Chaos, respectively. Nobody knows why their births took only six months, or how they occurred on the exact same day, but some speculate that it was Chaos and Retro's happiness that allowed them to give birth so fast.
Shock Dragoon and Ishthak provided a great deal of help for their parents in building up the land of Fairy Tail Wiki. It expanded to heights greater than Retro7 had ever imagined. Retro credited his son Shock Dragoon for this success, ignoring his ________ Chaos and daughter Ishthak, and presented him with a key to the wiki. While Chaos and Ishthak took no ill will, Retro7 did not continue as he was meant to and began lazying about. Taking great pleasure in molesting a newcomer to the land by the name of Dalyup, Retro7 impregnated said man and nine months later, Garyness was born, in spite of no actual insemination occurring.
The final member of the initial generation was Empath-silvio. This humanoid-looking creature was born from Retro7's desire for another son similar to Shock Dragoon. However, Chaos had turned sour upon Retro for utilizing its dildos in the molestation of Dalyup and refused to bear another child for Retro, also remembering the pain its mouth endured when giving birth to Ishthak.
Without Chaos, Retro was forced to turn to another and so turned to his own son Shock Dragoon, believing that between them, there was sufficient guarantee of the desired child. However, nobody truly knows what happened, as the Empath disappeared shortly after its birth, leaving much of the wiki in either surprise or indifference. However, with all the pre-occupation with procreation, the work for the website had fallen far behind its intended schedule. Knowing that it could not let its land suffer because of its former partner's behavior, Chaos took it upon itself to procure "four necessary ingredients"
Ishthak would take Garyness to her cavern every night and repeatedly attempted to have her way with him. Though he would initially refuse, Ishthak's surprising charm always seemed to win him over and the two would bump uglies repeatedly for a month in an attempt to conceive a child. However, it would appear that they were unable to do so, and Chaos suggested that Garyness was infertile. Distraught, Ishthak wandered for a while, carrying only polish sausage with her. While walking down the street, she heard a familiar song playing on displayed TVs in store windows. Dancing along with it, she was incredibly surprised to see a manifestation of the song's theme appear before her as she finished. She named this strange being Rauleli and took him home with her.
Teaching him all she knew about imagery, she found Rauleli to be a competent worker on par with Chaos' creation IamJakuhoRaikoben. However, much like Jakuho had his ego, Rauleli had his own problems. His problem was that he always complained. Whether it was about his food being too cold or his penis being too small, Rauleli would utilize any chance he got to complain. Growing tired of him, Ishthak berated him heavily for his behavior and left him to fend for himself for a while.
Meanwhile, Garyness and Dalyup were both pondering their own roles in the land, and after having talked for the good majority of a day, Dalyup threw Garyness into bed and proceeded to do to Garyness what Retro7 did to him, without dildos however. Though Dalyup did not have Ishthak's charm that Garyness found appealing, he was somehow able to impregnate Dalyup and give birth to a baby named L k. L k had a severe identity crisis, often dressing differently and alternating genders. While pretending to be male, she would utilize names such as Tutles and Nekomander. Some say that her exploits with her father Garyness earned her the nickname Bojangles. Proving to be an efficient worker in his/her own right, she joined IamJakuhoRaikoben and Rauleli to improve their land.
The three were doing well, and all the parents were happy, until such time as they decided that they had had enough of being told what to do. Rather than kill their parents however, they decided that they would instead create their own children whom they could boss around.
Would their plan work, or would it instead fail miserably? Join us next time as we tackle Fairy Tail Wiki's "Worst Generation"!
How pervy is our wiki?

I was there that night with Peter as well. She sang "Summer Time" a Capella. Awesome
Janis Joplin burst onto the public consciousness at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival as lead vocalist of Big Brother and the Holding Company. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted Joplin in 1995, called her "the greatest white urban blues and soul singer of her generation." Joplin, who died in 1970 at age 27 of an accidental drug overdose, remains among the most powerful, earthy singers in rock history.
In the second installment of our new feature, musicians recall "The First Time I Heard Janis Joplin." (In our debut story, artists looked back at Bob Dylan).
In a few weeks we'll talk with Marty Balin (Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship), Peter Albin (Big Brother and the Holding Company), Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), John Kay (Steppenwolf) and other contemporaries of Joplin who share first impressions and personal stories about the iconic singer.
Guitarist Peter Albin performed with Joplin in Big Brother from her 1966 debut with the band until she left to pursue a solo career in 1968. Albin had previously met Joplin at Berkeley's KPFA radio. The Midnight Special show, says Albin, featured "a folk circle, a circle of chairs and this huge microphone hanging down in the middle of the circle. You'd grab a chair and you'd do one song and it would go to the person to the left. The first time I saw Janis, I was sitting next to her. I looked over at this chick and she was wearing a man's white shirt … I looked at her chest and her white shirt was kind of open and she wasn't wearing a bra.
"And then she opened her mouth and I forgot about her tits! [laughs] She was really singing up a storm. She was really talented."
Marty Balin remained friends with Joplin after she left Big Brother. He recalls an invitation from Joplin after she'd completed her second and final studio album. "She said, 'Marty, come on over to Columbia, I just finished my new album. You gotta hear it.' So we went over there and we had a couple of bottles and we sat and we listened to Pearl over and over.
"We were passing the bottle and she was going, "Listen to that! I'm the greatest singer in the world! I'm the fuckin' greatest singer in the world!' I said, 'Yes you are Janis. You're the fuckin' greatest singer in the world!"
Watch this space for our full piece, featuring more recollections of Janis Joplin by the musicians who knew and loved her.
I was there that night with Peter as well. She sang "Summer Time" a Capella. Awesome
When I first saw Janis Joplin in concert in Chicago, she was drunk as a skunk. I was very disappointed that she didn't sound her best.
My first live concert to see Janis was in St.Louis, Mo. We had front row seats and when she walked out…she was wearing the same brightly beautiful blouse that i was wearing !! The concert was awsome, our bloses where a big hit, lol and at the bewitching our of mdnight, the shut the stage sound off, for she had sang an hour longer than scheduled. she yelled out to the upset croud…hold on , i will be right back. A couple minutes, she cane back, looking a bit frustrated, but they turned her mile back on. She said I was told all you freaks hand at Forest Park every Sunday…well, we will be there and do a free gig all afternoon. Sure enough she showed up, band set up in a pavilion and they played, partied and she had her bottle of Southern Comfort, she passed it around and joints passed. we were blessed to our own private party with the coolest sounds from the one and only Janis. It is one of my most memorable music experience and she was just a real down to earth chick with a voice that grabbed your heart and soul. She knew jow to have fun and she wanted everyone to have fun along with her. ♡ forever Janis.
I was fortunate enough to have seen Janis at her last concert at Harvard Stadium. I will never forget it!

|MySims CityLife
|Release date
|Life Simulation
| Single Player
Multi Player Wifi Mode
| Wii Disc
Wii Download
MySims CityLife is a life-simulation game made and developed by Nintendo. It is exclusive for the Wii and XBOX 360. It features you living in a huge city in the SimWorld and exploring in lots of different locations.
"Once there was a city provailant and strong, and at the head of it stood a kind and helpul mayor who'd help everyone he'd see but one day disaster struck this mayor. Unfortunately he was hit by a rampaging truck on the new Mayor's Highway. Now the city needs someone new to lead after him and rule strong but no one could find someone like that. Eventually they found a leader, bold and strong but they were very wrong, for now the city that provailed is now Morcubus' Empire. Who shall stop this terrible man and who will be the new mayor, we'll just wait and see..."
You are a sim that is looking for life in the city. However life in the city is very expensive so you stay at your friends house (You pick a friend out of Luka, Violet, Mira or Zack). Once you go to you're friends house you have to start helping to pay the rent. Obviously you need a job to get money and luckily there is a Job Centre in every district in the city (Excluding Parklands), you have a choice of what job to get. Each job has a different salary and is a different distance away. It also will say when you have to work and you're workplace. Once you have chosen a job you will need to get the necessities such as a bus pass, food Etc. You will also have to make difficult choices such as what house to choose, where you will work and what you're car will be like.
Once you have got a secure job and lots of money you will move out of your friends house and into your own. Most houses at the start of the game cost 70k to 140k and rent costs 1.8k to 2.5k. You will also be able to get pets and cars now that you have got your own house. Depending on where you live you will have different sims living near you such as in Parish Hills you get elegant people such as Diamond Blue, Trevor Verily and Duchess Beverly. Each borough is connected via highway and the highway goes all the way round the city, but there is also lots of transport like bikes, buses, trains, trams and subways but only two are available when you start; buses and bikes.
Below is a list of all the Characters in MySims CityLife. In MySims CityLife there is 187 identified sims. As TheTasmanianTriad promised to put lots of sims into the game they put 110% effort into fulfilling this. If all of the sims get put in there will be a total of 210 sims in MySims CityLife which is by far the most sims there has ever been in a game, however TheTasmanianTriad has started deducting some of the unidentified sims and we don't know how many are going to be in there.
TheTasmanianTriad also tells MSF that there will be many more organizations, families and businesses in MSC to make it feel more 'homely' like a DS game. The CEO, Siatra Rodriguez quoted that the character concept arts will not be released until after the last details.
