"World's largest fake Elephant"
Lucy is such an old-school kitschy tourist attraction. She was actually built all the way back in 1881as an advertisement to entice people to move to the area and to help bring tourists in. You can take a guided tour up a spiral staircase inside Lucy. Pretty good views of the Atlantic City skyline.
I can't believe that this has been around since the 1880s!!! And it used to be a hotel-- so cool. Fun fact: people used to think that Lucy was a boy, until she was determined to be a girl!
right on the main road - great photo op
Now all I need is Jasmine and a genie. ;)

Coveted Crib: A Mansion in the Bronx
Joyce Cohen's article for the New York Times, Lots of Home Work, tells the story of a run-down, gem-in-the-rough 16-room mansion in the Bronx that a young family bought for the rather low, low price of $675,000. The home will require at least another $200,000 of renovations, including rewiring and reinforcing of the foundation. But with original details like tin ceilings, carved fireplaces, and stone sculptures, I'd say this house is well worth the effort. Read the article for the whole story on this house.

Traditional investing logic would indicate that the rally in bonds is overdue for a reversal, but investors may have to continue to wait for any such turn.
They can thank or blame pension funds, depending on their perspective. These funds now oversee more than $18.6 trillion, a volume of assets that's bigger than annual U.S. economic output, according to Federal Reserve data. And they're increasingly plowing their money into debt, including money newly raised through increased taxes.
These plans have generally reduced their assumed annual returns for the decades ahead, but many are still expecting unrealistically high rates of income. Instead of lowering their forecasts even more and requiring higher contributions from workers, they're investing in increasingly speculative assets, including more corporate and private debt.
"They invest based on their need to earn 7.5 percent, not on the fundamentals," Brian Reynolds, chief market strategist at New Albion Partners, wrote in a note on Friday. "They are bringing in more money than ever and allocating it to credit."
In fact, pensions have been directing more of their money to credit funds at an accelerating pace, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into private debt funds, Reynolds noted in the report.
Pensions, and insurance companies that mimic them, have accounted for about half of the growth in credit during this cycle, according to Reynolds. Not only that, but some municipalities have started raising taxes to increase contributions to existing plans -- new money that may just flow into already expensive markets.
Taking a step back, it's important to recognize that this is not a new dynamic. This has been going on for a few decades and helped underpin average annual returns of 6.5 percent on U.S. corporate bonds since 1996.
But it's also a dynamic that isn't going to disappear quickly. What would make these pensions withdraw their cash from company bonds? Hard to say. Perhaps an inverted yield curve could put a dent in it because both traditional and nontraditional financial systems suffer when longer-term rates are lower than short-term ones. This could disrupt current channels of credit creation, causing a pullback. In the meantime, however, Reynolds just sees the credit boom gaining speed and continuing to fuel share buybacks that have driven stock gains.
While this dynamic supports values in the $8 trillion U.S. corporate credit market in the near future, it is lamentable in the long run. It encourages companies to sell debt for less-prudent endeavors. And it further discourages investors from scrutinizing specific companies' business models, with active fund managers generally underperforming the broad-based melt-up in riskier asset values.
As is, companies are incurring debt much faster than they're increasing their profits. Nations are borrowing money for a half century or more. The global debt load just keeps ballooning.
But the longer this game continues, the more risk builds in the system and the broader the pain when it all comes crashing down.

5 ways to live an authentic life * learn how to truly be yourself - and why you want to*
"Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around." ~Henry David Thoreau
Authenticity is a buzzword these days. We hear all kinds of advice on how to live it, breathe it, and get more of it. Maybe this is because we are actually drowning in inauthenticity.
Advertising bombards us with promises of bigger, better, faster, and easier. But the dream life of effortless comfort and problems that fix themselves is just a fantasy, a running away from the truth of life:
Everything isn't permanent.
Right now, at this moment, this life is all we have. (Take a moment and repeat this to yourself and breathe in its simplicity and urgency.)
More and more, people are fearlessly embracing this truth. As a result they are living their lives in accord with what their hearts are telling them rather than what the dominant paradigm dictates as "safe," "normal," and "true." The more authentic I've been living, the more I am attracting like mined authentic people into my life.
People are seeking me for life coaching with this goal... "how to live an authentic life." My clients and amazing friends are beginning to live their dreams with more passion and purpose than ever before. The focus isn't on money or the accumulation of things but on living with integrity. And though it's not the always the easier road, they are far happier for it.
This is the kind of happiness we all crave. I know I do.
We know in our hearts that there is something missing in our lives these days. But we also know that life can be rich, deeply satisfying, and meaningful.
Last year I decided to only live and do what I truly value and believe in and live an authentic life. To me it's putting my family first and then living my true talents and passions... speaking, writing and coaching.
I knew in my heart that is what I wanted and needed to do but to put the fears aside and do it was not an easy decision... but it's been worth it and I couldn't imagine living how I used to. My perspective on life has changed... the quality of work I create is richer and coming from my heart. I have impact on the world and I live everyday at peace and I am content.
It was my vision to create a company that changed peoples lives (Joanna International)... and I've done it. It's growing daily and I'm envisioning now what the next 5-10 years will be like.
I had done what I has set out to do, and I felt more satisfaction and sense of accomplishment than I had at any other time in my life.
Ten years ago, if you had told me I would have homes in foreign countries, learning foreign languages, I would have laughed. I was so bogged down with my own insecurities and fears that I couldn't even have imagined such a thing.
I'm living my dream of having homes in Czech Republic and Romania and traveling to and from the US to reach the people I am meant to speak to and coach because I worked hard on making it happen. I set a clear goal and faced all of the challenges to that goal with an open mind and the determination to overcome them.
But most importantly, I listened to my heart.
My heart told me this: I had to do it. And what's more, if I didn't I would regret it for the rest of my life.
But learning how to listen to your heart takes practice and effort. It's not as simple as it sounds. But it's not impossible either.
So what are some steps you can take to start listening to your heart and living a more authentic life?
Here are five of them that work for me.
1. Slow down.
Slowing down seems to be (ironically, very quickly) working it's way through the culture these days.
Supposedly, we need to be taking it easier, to be letting go of the compulsion to work ourselves to the bone every hour of our lives.
But one look out the window during rush hour traffic and we see that's exactly what most of us are still doing.
It's not that we shouldn't work hard or be productive. Goodness knows, as a writer I've got to spend a lot of time in the chair.
But we need to honor the fact that down time is essential if we really want to get in touch with our authentic selves. Today my son is not feeling well and it's a down time kind of day of working from home and making soup, teas and being mom.
So listen to this: Finish this article then take a long, deep breath. Close your laptop and go for a walk. Go in a direction you've never taken before and just take your sweet time.
Give yourself some space to be you.
2. Unplug.
We live in a world drenched in information. Whatever we want to know, we can find it instantly. This can be very exciting and even useful.
But one of the things that prevent us from staying in touch with our true selves is the constant barrage of cultural programming we are bombarded with everyday.
Advertisements, news programs, and television shows all tell us what and how to think, what products to buy, what opinions are in style, what life goals we should be achieving.
It's not necessarily that Big Brother is watching us, but it's good to unplug from all of this from time to time and give your own voice a chance to speak up.
So take a break from the intake of information. Pick a time during the day, or even a whole day off during the week, to turn off the computer, the television, the radio, data on your smart phone, etc.
Take some time to listen to what you really think and feel.
3. Explore and experiment.
Part of the reason that we live inauthentic lives is that we get stuck in a rut. We lull ourselves into a false sense of security by following the same old routines.
New ideas and experiences are what keep us fresh and alive. Our authentic selves thrive on them, and when we expose ourselves to new things we have the opportunity to grow.
Visiting new places, putting ourselves in new situations, exposing ourselves to new points of view can all challenge us to understand who you truly are.
So get out of your rut. Even if it just begins with ordering something different off the lunch menu, make an effort to keep an open mind to what possibilities are out there waiting for you.
4. Cultivate fearlessness.
Living authentically doesn't always mean a life of comfort and bliss. Often it means just the opposite.
When we show our true selves to the world, when we dare to live our dreams, we might just run into many obstacles we didn't expect.
We might experience ridicule. We might find that our authentic life isn't what we expected at all.
We might even "fail."
But what is "failure" but the opportunity to learn and grow? Trust me, I've been here more than I wish but it's beautiful in a sense because it's been essential to my growth.
If you are truly being authentic then you may find that even the falling down is more fulfilling than anything that's normally considered to be "success."
So work with challenges from a place of fearlessness. Know that even if you fall down, this is isn't permanent either. You can always get up and start anew.
Living authentically takes courage and bravery. During the past year in Europe and now here in Sarasota I have met a lot of inspiring people.
Some of them had packed up their families to pursue their dreams of traveling the world. Some were there, like me, learning a new language only because they knew it would enrich their lives.
Many more were devoting themselves to a spiritual way of life that, despite its uncertainty and difficulty, was far more fulfilling than anything they had tried before.
I truly believe that we all have this kind of courage and bravery hiding somewhere inside us. And if you just take the time to look, you will find that you do too.
5. Trust your intuition.
Often, we feel out of sync when we are acting inauthentic. Things just don't feel right. Pay attention to those hunches, physical sensations and impressions. They can be your instincts telling you that you are not being genuine. When you are on track and authentic, you'll feel that too.
I felt at ease and in flow when I left my fears behind and a year later began to coach, write and speak full-time. Finally, I was truly myself. Authentic. And, while the business has blossomed, I'm still learning how to live authentically even 2 years later. That journey is ever-shifting as I learn more about myself.
"Who we are evolves and changes, This is a dynamic process and one we can keep moving into at deeper levels. Feel that, pay attention to that. This is less about a destination than a journey of going deeper to keep discovering and unfolding new pieces of ourselves as we go." – Mike Robbins

Social Security Question
If I take Soc Sec now at age 66, I will get $700 a month. If I wait until I am 70, I will get $1000 a month. If I take the $700 a month now, I would have made $33,600 in the next four years. If I wait until age 70, how long would it take for me to regain the $33,600 that I would lose in the next four years. Thanks

Your dental marketing firm probably doesn't guarantee you new patient phone calls.
If anything, they might "guarantee" high search engine results page (SERP) rankings. A very few dental marketing companies might "guarantee" to get you more Facebook likes or more blog followers. But do they back up that guarantee with cash?
Not likely, but why don't they?
Attracting new dental patients isn't the same as marketing carpet cleaning services. Dentistry is, or should be, personal – there's an unavoidable sense of intimacy in laying back in the dental chair and allowing someone to poke around in your mouth. That requires a level of trust that's not needed for most service providers.
A lot of dental marketing firms, though, started as general marketing firms. They're used to selling widgets, so to speak. And many of them don't make the mental shift to understanding what's important to your dental prospects.
They don't dare give you a financial guarantee because they're not at all certain that they can back it up.
SmartBox Web Marketing is different, because it was literally created to attract new dental patients and to do that better than anyone else. Founder and CEO Colin Receveur is the son of a very successful dentist. He combined his love of internet marketing with his revolutionary Patient Attraction System™ to provide dentists with a far better way to attract more and better patients.
The SmartBox Patient Attraction System™ is so well-proven that we now offer our new and renewing dentists our unmatched $10K Guarantee™.
Briefly, we guarantee you a certain number of new patient phone calls a month. The number of calls depends on the service level you select. The only things required of you are to get us the information we need so that we can launch your new website within three months of signing with SmartBox, to implement our patient-attraction suggestions, and to answer 90 percent of your office phone calls.
At the end of 12 months, if we haven't delivered the number of new patient calls we promise, we'll cancel the rest of your contract and send you a check for ten thousand dollars. For details, contact SmartBox Web Marketing.
We can offer this guarantee because we have the data to back up our promise. SmartBox currently works with over 550 dentists on three continents to help them get more patients, more profits, and more freedom.
The SmartBox approach to attracting new dental patients isn't for everyone. We're looking for dentists who want to experience double-their-practice growth or better.
If you're serious about your success, go to
www.smartboxwebmarketing.com/blueprint and schedule a Patient Attraction System Blueprint™ Session. They are free to serious dentists who want to see a patient attraction system that can double their practice. You can get more patients, more profits, and more freedom.
AND a $10K Guarantee™.
If you're not quite ready to radically change how you attract new dental patients, here's a suggestion: ask your current dental marketing company why they don't guarantee your results. The answer should tell you all you need to know.

The TRAPPIST-1 system may not support life because of its age
The world has been looking at TRAPPIST-1, the cool M dwarf with 7 potentially habitable rocky exoplanets. As part of the ardent interest in this diminutive star, Vincent Bourrier and colleagues are trying to find how much radiation is "thrown" at the planets from their own sun.
The researchers used the Hubble telescope and looked at the star's ultraviolet output. They were looking for Lyman alpha emissions, wavelength emitted by hydrogen atoms from the chromosphere – the layer beneath the star's surface (a.k.a photosphere)
The team found out that TRAPPIST-1 emitted half of the Lyman emissions as other cool M dwarfs.
Another finding of the team last year was that it emitted as much X-rays as Proxima Centauri.
The X-ray and ultraviolet output of these type of stars decays over time, but the X-rays drop much faster. The scientists posits that TRAPPIST-1 is an young star, because it emits only 1/3 Lyman alpha emissions compared to its X-rays.
But exactly how old is the star is an open question. The astronomers believe that it is at least 500 millions old.
Jeffrey Linsky study
Jeffrey Linsky, astronomer from University of Colorado, who was studied for a long time M dwarfs' Lyman alpha emissions and X-rays, says that the star looks both old and young When the stars are born they spin quickly. As they age, they become slower. TRAPPIST-1 spins every 1,5 days which points out that it is a young star. However, astronomers don't know how fast ultracool dwarfs spin down.
Bourrier says that the question about its age is currently unanswerable. The difference between X-rays and Lyman alpha emissions suggest that the star is not extremely old, he says, "but I do not think that at this point we can say much more than this."
The reason why X-rays and ultraviolet levels matter its because they can harm habitability. While the ultraviolet level is low it can strip the atmospheres of b and c planets in 1-3 billions. For the next four d, e, f, g the process can take between 5 to 22 billion years.
Because of the world's methodical spacing, they most likely migrated inward. Currently we have no idea when this happened or if their orbits are going to be stable for long. "If they migrated within a disk, typical time scales are about 100 million years, but that may not be valid for a system like TRAPPIST-1," Bourrier warns. "Uncharted territory here!"

Confession. I listened to the majority of this book via audiobook—it's what happens when my TBR pile and due dates expands beyond my reach.

Name: Aith
Age: 19
AIM: Brightest Gate
E-MAIL: email@example.com
IC Information:
Name: Laharl
Fandom: Disgaea
Timeline: Post-Hour of Darkness, pre-Cursed Memories
Age: 1313
Appearance: Laharl stands about five feet tall, although his hair adds a good six inches to that- it's blue and spiked downwards, with two gigantic extensions resembling antennae coming off of the top. It is always kept immaculately styled and even after being burned manages to retain most of its form.
Laharl himself is nothing too extraordinary- he's skinny but not emaciated, relatively fit but without visible muscles. He doesn't wear a shirt, but he does wear pants, thankfully- a pair of red shorts with white cuffs, held up by a large black belt. In addition he wears some pretty fancy shoes, bright red and cuffed with gold to show off his status- he also wears two large bracelets that look almost identical to the shoe cuffs.
His most obvious clothing, though, is his scarf; unraveled, it's about two feet longer than Laharl is tall. It's dark red and manages to blow in the wind even when Laharl is standing still, indoors, and when it's not blowing it tends to fall into a position vaguely resembling a cape.
Laharl's features are at first glance not unusual, but closer attention shows some clear demonic traits- his ears are pointed, his eyes bright red, and his teeth sharpened to a point. His eyes sometimes burn with actual fire when he's angry enough, and when enraged at times only the whites are visible.
Abilities: Laharl's abilities are rather... varied, shall we say. Most of his abilities are common to all demons; he's incredibly resilient, fully capable of being lit on fire, going swimming in lava, being beaten around with all kinds of weapons, hit with energy cannons from gigantic battleships, and being shot in the head without any kind of permanent damage. (The headshot knocked him out for a few days, though.) His physical strength is also extremely high, although it's not really beyond normal human levels; it's beyond the average strength of a 13-year-old (His equivalent age), but adult humans can outpower him or at least fight evenly with him in a contest of sheer physical strength.
However, it is not entirely in physical nature where Laharl shines! He is also a somewhat talented mage, although he doesn't actually really know much magic because he doesn't care. What magic he does know, however, is pretty decent; he specializes in fire, and he's talented in pyrokinesis in general, allowing him to add the fire to his physical attacks in a way that most demons cannot.
Also, as the Overlord, he possesses a few extra skills, most of them playing off his pyrokinesis; he can summon swarms of fireballs and center them on a single target, he can light his fist on fire and cause an explosion when he punches; and he can summon a gigantic fucking meteor. Laharl is probably a good candidate for one of the collars that blocks powers more so he doesn't completely wreck the shit out of the Facility on his first day.
Finally, Laharl is an incredibly skilled sword and axe user, and has relative proficiency with any other kind of weapon. If it can hurt people? Chances are Laharl knows how to use it.
Personality: Laharl is a demon. Through and through, he shares all the traits of demons- He's self-centered, abrasive, and quick to anger. He treats his vassals as slaves, very rarely actually caring about any of them; none of them see any problem with this, as they're all demons as well. His status as Prince- and later, Overlord- entitles him to power and influence that few other demons have; he abuses this status to his own advantage, feeling it gives him the right to simply relieve other demons of their money and possessions, and simply destroy any competition he happens to have for the throne. Which it does, but the point is the entitlement. He's rude, violent, and doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Throughout the course of the game, however, his personality shifts ever-so-slightly; his primary goal remains to become the most powerful Overlord in the world, and all of his actions are still incredibly self-serving, but he begins caring for his friends more. In addition, as Overlord, he realizes that to be an effective ruler he needs to be kind to his people, and does so. When it's convenient to him.
The most important change, however, is his new-found caring for his friends; He pretends that he helps them and cares for them simply because they're effective vassals, but he truly cares for them deep-down and would do anything to protect them. Even though it's still difficult for him to make new friends, once he does they're incredibly important to him.
In addition, his heart begins opening somewhat to the idea of love, despite the pain of losing his mother. It is mostly through Flonne's influence that this comes to be, but his mother's guarding him even from beyond death is a major catalyst as well; he still pretends to be an uncaring demon, but his heart begins opening despite this, a feeling that pisses the hell out of him more than anything. Most irritating are his feelings for Flonne; he cares about her enough to protect her, despite her being an angel (And the most persistent, irritating person he knows). He really doesn't know what to think about that.
Also he's allergic to sexy women's bodies. While that specifically isn't a personality trait per se it does shape how he acts around those with tits the size of Oklahoma- because he can't stand being around them he tends to actually be somewhat nice, if curt, to them, simply to get them what they want so they'll leave him alone. Jennifer, for example, has the largest breasts in the game and can even get away with calling him "Harlie" with no problems.
History: Many years ago, the Netherworld was ruled by King Krichevskoy, an incredibly powerful Overlord. Seen as an oddity amongst demons, Krichevskoy was a kind fiend, benevolent and fair to all of his subjects. Krichevskoy fell in love with a human witch, an act almost unheard of in demon (Or human) society; the two wed, and remained deeply in love with each other, continuing to rule fairly over the world. The two bore a son, Prince Laharl, who despite his half-human nature carried enough Noble Demon blood to remain incredibly powerful. Laharl and his mother shared a special bond, but his relationship with his father was shaky at best due to the competitive nature of demons (And his own desire to become the Overlord).
Eventually, Laharl came down with a fatal disease for which there was almost no recovery. Sacrificing herself to save her son, Laharl's mother used the power of ~love~ and ~suicide~ to purge the disease from his body. While he recovered fully, this act led him to blame love itself for the death of his mother, and he closed his heart to it, hating love and everything love stands for, as well as love's distant relatives, recipes, and hat patterns. Krichevskoy was deeply affected as well, but he turned his attentions to his rule and his son; Laharl became even more distant from his father, and eventually settled down to take a nap, intending to sleep for a few days. Instead, he slept for two years. Which, considering the responses, isn't all that odd for demons, although it is on the long end of things.
During this nap, a certain event happened that would shape the Netherworld forever- King Krichevskoy died. (The official COD was that he'd choked to death on a pretzel, but he actually died fighting the Overlord of an alternate Netherworld.) Etna, one of the Overlord's vassals, attempted to wake Laharl up by means of heavy artillery, eventually succeeding almost two years after Krichevskoy's death. Laharl, being a demon, took this news well, deciding to take the time to beat the living hell out of everyone in his path to claim his birthright and become the Overlord. Which he did for a while.
After a time, an angel trainee named Flonne came under orders of Seraph Lamington, supreme leader of Celestia (The world of angels) to assassinate the Overlord. Apparently unaware that Krichevskoy had died, Flonne was surprised by this news, and tried to cheese it. Laharl chased her down with the intention of beating her up, but decided to let her join him as a vassal instead; Flonne, for her part, decided to teach Laharl and all the other demons about ~love~ in hopes of opening Laharl's heart.
Laharl's army continued to traverse the Netherworld, destroying various competition for the throne and increasing its numbers while also earning money by looting and rampaging. Finally, tired of all this, Laharl announces a contest- If any demon can defeat him before he declares himself Overlord at a certain spot, then they will become the new Overlord. This is all an elaborate gambit, dedicated to dragging out his competition; it works, and all of the usurper hopefuls are completely obliterated by Laharl and his ragtag group of serial killers. At last, Laharl is crowned as the Overlord. There is much rejoicing. ...From Laharl. Everyone else still calls him "prince".
More stuff happens. Etc. Instead of going on with this, I'm going to take a quick diversion and talk about Prinnies.
Prinnies are stuffed penguins. They explode when thrown, and carry pouches that contain condensed hammerspace. Also, they have the souls of sinful humans sewn into them. If they raise enough money they can be reincarnated, and so they work as slaves in the Netherworld and indentured servants in Celestia. This does, in fact, matter.
Eventually, Laharl's Prinny servants (The Prinny Squad) leave to become reincarnated at the Red Moon, a sacred moon under which the Prinnies' souls are cleansed. Laharl, irritated by his servants up and leaving, decides to go and beat them up and get them back. He succeeds at beating the hell out of Death, when a pink Prinny (Known as Big Sis Prinny) appears to him. Telling him to let his servants go, which he does, she thanks Flonne and Etna for looking after 'her son'. Laharl, realizing that this Prinny is his mother, is heavily affected by her still loving him even after death, and starts to accept that maybe he can like people and still be a fearsome demon.
Yet more things happen! The army continues to go on adventures, destroying any demon that Laharl doesn't like and fighting off an invasion from the Earth army. None of this is really important. What is important, however, is what happens next!! Flonne returns to Celestia to face judgment for her crime of consorting with demons. Laharl is not happy about this, due to her being his vassal- or at least, that's what he says, the real reason being that he actually cares about her, oh no, worst demon ever. But either way, the demons go to Celestia and basically slaughter all the angels!
At last, they face Seraph Lamington, the leader of the angels. By the time they've arrived, they're just a moment too late- Flonne accepts her punishment and is killed, becoming a flower as angels do when they die. Laharl is pissed at this. So he beats the everliving shit out of Lamington! As he's about to deal the final blow, though, he hesitates- and that hesitation proves to Lamington- and also to Mid-Boss, one of Laharl's former rivals to the throne who is also Laharl's father reincarnated- that Laharl has, in fact, changed. Pleased by this development, Mid-Boss sacrifices himself in order to resurrect Flonne as a Fallen Angel, a demon/angel hybrid that basically just dresses sluttier. The group is returned to the Netherworld, Laharl basically being a horrible tyrant while Etna and Flonne eat dessert and torture the Prinnies. And they all lived happily ever after until Disgaea 2.
Roleplay Sample - Log: Laharl wasn't going to take this anymore. It had gotten ridiculous. The experiments? Garbage. The "psychological torment"? Barely worth his time. The isolation? Kind of nice after all that time spent with Flonne and Etna.
But this was too much. Too damn much. He hefted his makeshift quarterstaff- made from a table leg- and stormed down the halls, prepared to destroy the bane of his existence, that which caused him such agony and grief. Those who passed him in the halls went unnoticed, his focus dedicated on only his one target.
Finally, he arrived. He tore the suite door open and made his way over to the specific room door he needed, his eyes burning with rage. The staff slammed against the door several times- who the hell knocks anymore?- and he gritted his teeth.
"Get your ass out here, you fool! The Overlord has marked you for death for your shitty crimes and your overall uselessness!"
No response. Nothing but silence except for his own exasperated breaths. He raised the staff to slam it into the door again, and-- Then it opened. Laharl stared for a split second and then fell to the ground, determination and fury torn asunder by a severe allergy attack.
Tsunade's chest had claimed another victim.
Roleplay Sample - Journal: Haaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaa! I wondered how long it would be before the humans made their move again. I was worried I'd have to beat some sense into them for not thinking of me as a threat!
This is a new one, though. Getting me here without me even noticing until I woke up? That takes some damn work. And what's with the collar?! Now I'm just mad!
So listen up, you useless idiots! Whoever put me here, you can't even contemplate what you're messing with here! I am Overlord Laharl, King of Hell, Ruler of the Netherworld, the most powerful demon to ever hold the damn title! You will kneel before me and I'll laugh and laugh and laugh! Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaa! Like that, fools! And then I will end you. And then, do you know what? You'll come back as Prinnies. And I'll kill you again! [He storms to the door and flings it open as he rants into the Faciliberry, walking into the hallway and slamming the door shut again for dramatic effect! Then he just stands in the hallway and yells more, pleased when people stop to stare at him] I don't even care why you put me in this damned tacky white prison, I'm gonna take you all down! Or my name isn't Laharl! Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaa-- [The laughing goes on for a while, not getting any less maniacal! Eventually the feed times out]
Questions? Comments? Crazed and creative statements? Those go here. Laharl's canonically got a non-restricted hammerspace inventory. What should I be doing with that? And also, his scarf can turn into wings that he can fly with, limits on that?

American University Reviews
Student & Graduate Reviews (24)
I loved it. It has been the best experience of my life. :))) amazing. Mostly because everyone is very supportive and the university encourages you to get together and incorporate many new ideas. Group discussions, labs etc. are a priority. I am a major in Medical Anthropology, It was an amazing experience.
American University provided me with a well rounded, career focused education. Upon graduation I entered a position in my chosen career and was prepared both academically and professionally. AU is not only focused on an exceptional education but also creating ethical and responsible leaders. The student services enhanced the class time with major specific career services, supportive faculty, and unique speakers and networking events. My experience at AU was so powerful that I recently applied and was accepted to a Master's program in their Public Affairs school.
The amount of diversity and professor involvement and care in the curriculum is high. The professors there truly encourage you to seek higher education and are willing to meet and discuss with you at any point in time. Financial aid is very tricky to work with and quite difficult to receive there, but I felt prepared and overqualified for a lot of positions after graduation, specifically because of the push for and surplus of opportunities for students to engage in internships during their time at AU.
Studying international relations and history at AU really sharpened my critical thinking, researching, and writing skills. My best advice would be to look for the best professors because they make a huge difference. I was very lucky and had amazing professors. Happy I went here!
Study was a very pleasant experience, got very good knowledge, also met people from different countries with whom I shared many pleasant experiences knowledge
American University offers a range of Arts and Science programs that are also politically focused. It is located in Washington DC and has a lot of amenities available to its students. There are also a variety of programs that support student life and school spirit.
The quality of the education offered at the University of Puerto Rico is excellent. The university is divided in 11 campuses, with each campus having a stronger academic program than the others. For example if you're interested in medicine, the Rio Piedras campus would be the best choice, if you're interested in Hotel management, then the Carolina campus would be best.
American University offered a highly specialized degree utilizing experienced professors that yielded a strong graduate program. The campus was small but beautiful and ran free AU shuttles to various points around town making getting to and leaving campus a breeze. Overall the experience was phenomenal and I would highly recommend it.
Great audio program, however just as much could be found online and in books for little to no money. Didnt gurantee a job.
The internship opportunities are great, but the students on campus are not incredibly friendly and the administration does nothing to lower the total cost of tuition/room/board. It's a incredibly expensive education. You would be better off going to a state school and coming to DC for the summer internships.

Take A Scenic Drive Down One Of Washington's Windiest Grades [VIDEO]
I grew up in the Lewiston/Clarkston Valley, but for six years of my life I was a foster kid and lived at the confluence of the Grand Ronde River on the border of the Washington/Oregon border. I lived right at the bottom of the Rattlesnake Grade on the Washington side and on the other side was the Buford Grade that proceeded to Oregon.
I had to be bused to school each day to Asotin, WA as is our state law. It was 62 miles round trip and it wasn't a straight line to school. I had to travel up the Asotin Grade on Highway 129, past Anatone and further past Field's Spring State Park.
The portion of the daily bus ride that is probably the scariest during winter is the Rattlesnake Grade. The American Motorcycle Association designated the grade as one of the top 15 motorcycle rides in America and the winding grade definitely lives up to its name, but think about if you are an 8-yr old kid traveling that daily and running into snow.

A TROUBLED nightspot will remain open after agreeing to a number of conditions.
Banana Jo's was hauled in front of a Sunderland City Council licensing sub-committee after racking up 26 reports of crime and disorder since January.
Incidents involved teenagers as young as 14 and 15 being found at the Vine Place bar, and a 17-year-old who was headbutted.
Police said that most of the incidents included altercations in the premises, all the people involved were drunk and many were arrested for being disorderly.
The conditions imposed on Banana Jo's included changing the designated premises supervisor, an overhaul of its CCTV system, staff to request proof of age, introduction an incident reporting system, and to attend all city centre Pubwatch meetings.
Councillor Peter Gibson, chairman of the committee, said: "As Banana Jo's have agreed to the police recommendations we agree that the premises can continue to operate.
"There are no conditions that we feel we need to add to the conditions from the police.
"But we also want to say we take a very dim view of people as young as 14 and 15 being allowed into the premises and being served.
"We hope that new management takes that on board and keeps a strict eye on the young people trying to enter."
Other incidents at the club since January include a man detained in possession of cannabis, members of staff assaulted, a woman attempting to hit door staff with a bottle, and a man who spat in someone else's face.
Banana Jo's has also failed test purchases by Northumbria Police and Sunderland Trading Standards, where two 16-year-olds were sent in to buy alcohol.
The staff member who served them was fined £80.
The establishment was represented by solicitors at the meeting. They made no further comment on the council's decision.

Equatorial Guinea, Uganda, Botswana: One Of Them Could Land The Next African Union Chair PostBy Staff, 5:06 pm
Botswana has not always supported the African Union on critical issues such as the International Criminal Court, and experts believe it lacks the goodwill needed to support its candidate. South Africa's A.U. opinions appear closer to Equatorial Guinea's than Botswana's on issues such as the politics in Burundi and the ICC's relations with Africa. The need to give voice within the A.U. to the continent's historically marginalized regions could push Equatorial Guinea's candidate to the top. The A.U. faces many challenges including its dependence on foreign aid for its financing.
