|Reviews for The Rabbit Hole
| mysticalemotion chapter 28 . 9/19/2010
Can I just start by saying WOW! I haven't ever read a story with fantasy as a subcategory and I'm having trouble working out where I was to land me here to read this story but I'm glad I found myself here. This is by far the best story I have read yet...I'm sure it's the way you make everything seem so...believable, so real, so captivating. I found myself wanting to be a character in the story itself, I was so engrossed in your writing I wish I was in this story. Thanks for giving me hope that there are some great fantasy/romance's out there. From now on I won't be excluding fantasy as a category, I have accepted it and absolutely love the direction you took with it, it wasn't overbearing at all. Congratulations on fantastic writing skills.

Hi. :) I really like this story, The Rabbit Hole. I also love Broken Telephone. I thought it was really creative how you used some of the same names and references from Alice in Wonderland, but turned it into something totally different. It was fresh!
There is one thing that is bothering me, though. I've noticed a lot of typos and missing punctuation marks, like the writing was really rushed. I'm sorry to say that it is kind of bothering me. Do you have a beta? I don't mean to be rude; I am just wondering, that's all. :) I really do like your writing. If I didn't have to subconsciously make punctuation corrections, I'd be thrilled.
Have a good day!

Wonderful story! truly entertaining.. and the characters were all just awesome.. I liked the plot, it was pretty creative.
Good job!
| Beenz chapter 1 . 9/6/2010
Ghads, I think half my review got deleted somehow ;_; My apologies; I'm posting twice in an effort to give my complete review!
Really enjoyed this story!
Butterfly would definitely have to be my favourite character; there were so many traits and thoughts that she had that came from her life as a mermaid/ prostitute that hadn't even occurred to me that she might feel! Like how she found it hard to understand that everything didn't revolve around sex, and how she felt trapped on land because everything didn't seem so infinite. It's clear that you really thought long and hard about the characteristics of each race (i.e. the immortals not having parents, the ways to kill demons etc.) and it really added a nice depth to everything

I would just like to start off by saying that I started Reading this story at 730PM this evening and it is now 3AM and I just finished it in one shot.
Wonderful my dear, truly a creation. Your ideas are so well thought out and executed flawlessly. I have never read anything quite like this before and it rivals even Lewis Carolls version!
Kudos to you madame! Thank you for giving me such a brief but wonderful look into the lives of Grey, Alice, Jericho and Butterfly. It has been a wild ride.
All my love to the amazing author you are,
| Luv and Peace chapter 27 . 8/15/2010
Hey! Loved your story! The characters were all unique and definately quirky (esp, of course, Alice). I thought though that towards the end the initial naive quirkiness that Alice had sort of fades towards the end of the story... but that could be (maybe?) because she's maturing? I liked how Butterfly's seen the worst of everything and she's still naive about everything else and how patient Jericho is. Of course the chemistry between Grey and Alice... LOL! They're so funny and cute. One quote I remember because it just made me laugh was when Grey met Alice-mimic and Alice asked if the mimic was pretty. Very witty!
Loved your story and loved the plot!
| LanerMahaner chapter 28 . 8/14/2010
I absolutely LOVE your story! My friend read it and then forwarded it to me, sayingjust had to read it. And she was so right! It's amazing!
I only have one question... Will Jericho (is that how you spell it? oh well) ever remember anything? Or will he have to remeet and create relationships with everyone?
I'm now off to loom at your other work. Your such a good writer! Keep it up!
| Mo- The Reviewer chapter 10 . 8/13/2010
GAH! I was planning on going to sleep after this chapter, but now I at least have to figure out what's going to happen with Alice now!
Oh, you sleep-stealers. With you good-for-nothing, amazing stories :P
haha, jk (:

That's soo sad that the Tainted are treated like that :(
| Mo- The Reviewer chapter 2 . 8/12/2010
Alexander is like the Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland (the original Disney movie)! He even has the pocket watch and everything!
Except he's much, MUCH more violet. (V)(E)(R)(Y) much more violent!
| Reeech Beeetch chapter 27 . 8/10/2010
I usually stick to reading short stories, but yours kept me riveted, right from the beginning. The plot was exceptional. The writing, well, could definitely be improved in terms of grammar, punctuation, spelling and continuity. But the story trumped all that. I liked Grey, and I liked the love story between Jericho and Butterfly. The epilogue, though a wee predictable, ended the story on just the right note. Cheers to you!
| Saadiyah chapter 28 . 8/4/2010
I LOVED it so much. Thanks for the read. ]

Masterworks, manuscripts, mosaics, royal jewels, devotional sculpture, and blinged-out arms and armor feature in exhibitions devoted to the arts of Byzantium, Buddhism, Islam, West Africa, the Samurai, the Andes, and more
If you want to learn the history of the world through the artistry of its diverse civilizations, you're in luck. This season's slate of museum shows includes spectacular blockbusters with treasures lent from national collections around the globe. Some of these chronicle cultural transformations, like the rise of an international Buddhist art style in Southeast Asia, or the development of a visual language to express Christian beliefs in the Byzantine Empire. Others showcase cultures unfamiliar to most U.S. audiences: The Joseon Dynasty of Korea, for example, and the arts of Liberia and Sierra Leone. And others bring a renewed focus to longtime crowd-pleasers, like the British country house and the rigorous esthetic of the Samurai.Here's where to find the top international arts shows this spring:What: "Lost Kingdoms: Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Early Southeast Asia, 5th to 8th Century"
Where: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (April 14–July 27, 2014)Using recent excavations, new research, national treasures from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar, and loans from around the world, "Lost Kingdoms" traces the evolution of Southeast Asian sculpture from the era of nature-cults through the arrival of Buddhism and Hinduism to the emergence of Buddhist art as an expression of state identity. The show tracks the ways that religious ideas, rituals, and imagery circulated among the kingdoms through international trade routes, resulting in the emergence of a shared visual language in the service of Mahayana Buddhism.

The role of embolic protection devices in renal artery stenting.
ABSTRACT Renal artery angioplasty and stenting is commonly performed for the treatment of hypertension and ischemic nephropathy. An increasing number of procedures are being undertaken for "renal preservation" despite an associated risk of renal function decline related to the embolization of atheromatous debris liberated during the procedure. Although smaller, more flexible guidewires and stents have been developed to decrease the amount of debris created, interest in the off-label use of embolic protection devices has increased. We review the available embolic protection devices and currently available data regarding their use in renal artery interventions. Although not designed for use in the renal artery, there are at least theoretical reasons to believe that embolic protection during renal artery angioplasty may improve outcomes.
Article: Embolic Protection Devices in Patients with Renal Artery Stenosis with Chronic Renal Insufficiency: A Clinical Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To present clinical outcomes with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs) and renal artery stents in patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) and renal artery stenosis (RAS). A retrospective study was conducted in 23 patients with RAS and CRI who were treated with renal artery stent placement with an EPD. Follow-up data were obtained through medical records. In 23 patients (18 men; 78%) with an average age of 69.4 years +/- 11 (range, 46-86 y), 32 renal arteries were treated for worsening renal function (n = 17; 74%) or uncontrolled hypertension and worsening renal function (n = 6; 26%). Nine FilterWire EZ devices were used in eight patients (35%) and 17 SpideRX devices were used in 15 patients (65%). The average follow-up was 8 months +/- 5. After the stent procedure, the mean systolic blood pressure decreased significantly (P < .05) whereas the diastolic pressure remained unchanged. There was a significant increase in the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate from 32.9 mL/min +/- 12.9 at baseline to 41.3 mL/min +/- 13.7 at last follow-up (P < .05). In 96% of patients, there was improvement or stabilization of kidney function. In six of the 17 SpideRX devices (35%), macroscopically evident embolic material was observed in the device after stent placement. There were two minor and two major complications. Renal artery stent placement combined with the use of a SpideRX or FilterWire EZ device is associated with an good clinical outcome with a reasonable safety profile.Journal of vascular and interventional radiology: JVIR 10/2008; 19(11):1639-45.

Article: Filters Placed in the Superficial Femoral Arteries for Limb Salvage in a High-Surgical-Risk Patient With Atheroembolism: Results at 2 Years[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To report the off-label use of Emboshield filters as a treatment for bilateral atheroembolism (trash foot) in an inoperable patient. A 64-year-old man with a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (jAAA) presented with necrotic wounds of the forefoot and toes of both feet. Doppler imaging showed triphasic signals. He was on oral anticoagulants because of a mechanical valve. The patient was admitted for evaluation and administration of intravenous antibiotics; other than the jAAA, no other source of emboli was detected. Since the patient was inoperable, Emboshield filters were placed bilaterally through antegrade femoral accesses at the level of the superficial femoral arteries to prevent embolism to the feet. Two years later, the patient has no symptoms; debris is present in both filters but does not compromise arterial flow into the legs. This case demonstrates the successful off-label use of an Emboshield filter for trash foot in an inoperable patient.Journal of Endovascular Therapy 06/2010; 17(3):399-401.

Geographic Range
The giant floater is a widespread species, found throughout te Mississippi and Missouri river drainages, the St. Lawrence drainage,, Gulf of Mexico through Louisiana and Texas. In Canada it is in the Interior basin from western Ontario to Alberta.
In Michigan, P. grandis is found throughout streams, lakes and rivers in the state. In general, it is more common in lakes, but is widespread throughout river systems. (Burch, 1975)
The giant floater is found in all habitats, but mainly in lakes or slower moving waters, including backwaters of streams, rivers, and impoundments. It can colonize newly impounded streams. Generally, it is found in substrates of mud or sand, but can also be found in gravel. (Cummings and Mayer, 1992; Oesch, 1984; van der Schalie, 1938; Watters, 1995)
- Habitat Regions
- freshwater
- Aquatic Biomes
- rivers and streams
Physical Description
The giant floater is up to 25.4 cm (10 inches) long , and is elliptical or elongated in shape. The shape often varies. The shell is usually fairly thin and inflated. The anterior end is broadly rounded, the posterior end bluntly pointed. The dorsal hinge line is slightly curved and the ventral margin is straight or slightly curved.
Umbos are full, raised slightly above the hinge line and are situated slightly towards the anterior part of the shell. The beak sculpture has three to five double-looped ridges.
The periostracum (outer shell layer) is smooth, yellow to yellow-green with rays in younger individuals. Older specimens tend to be more brown.
On the inner shell, the left valve lacks pseudocardinal and lateral teeth. There is a slight thickening sometimes where the lateral tooth would be.
The beak cavity is broad and shallow. The nacre varies from silvery white, yellow, pink or copper.
In Michigan, this species can be confused with Pyganodon lacustris, paper pondshell, creeper, and cylindrical papershell. Pyganodon lacustris is generally more elongate. The paper pondshell has flattened umbos. The creeper may have a slightly waved and thickened hinge. The cyclindrical papershell generally has a beak sculpture of concentric, single loops. (Cummings and Mayer, 1992; Oesch, 1984; Watters, 1995)

Fertilized eggs are brooded in the marsupia (water tubes) up to 11 months, where they develop into larvae, called glochidia. The glochidia are then released into the water where they must attach to the gill filaments and/or general body surface of the host fish. After attachment, epithelial tissue from the host fish grows over and encapsulates a glochidium, usually within a few hours. The glochidia then metamorphoses into a juvenile mussel within a few days or weeks. After metamorphosis, the juvenile is sloughed off as a free-living organism. Juveniles are found in the substrate where they develop into adults. (Arey, 1921; Lefevre and Curtis, 1910)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Age to sexual maturity for this species is unknown. Unionids are gonochoristic (sexes are separate) and viviparous. The glochidia, which are the larval stage of the mussels, are released live from the female after they are fully developed.
In general, gametogenesis in unionids is initiated by increasing water temperatures. The general life cycle of a unionid, includes open fertilization. Males release sperm into the water, which is taken in by the females through their respiratory current. The eggs are internally fertilized in the suprabranchial chambers, then pass into water tubes of the gills, where they develop into glochidia.
In the Huron River in Michigan, Pyganodon grandis was gravid from early August to the following mid-April. It probably spawns from May through July in Michigan. (Lefevre and Curtis, 1912; Watters, 1995)

Females brood fertilized eggs in their marsupial pouch. The fertilized eggs develop into glochidia. There is no parental investment after the female releases the glochidia.

The age of mussels can be determined by looking at annual rings on the shell. However, no demographic data on this species has been recorded.
Mussels in general are rather sedentary, although they may move in response to changing water levels and conditions. Although not thoroughly documented, the mussels may vertically migrate to release glochidia and spawn. (Oesch, 1984)
Communication and Perception
The middle lobe of the mantle edge has most of a bivalve's sensory organs. Paired statocysts, which are fluid filled chambers with a solid granule or pellet (a statolity) are in the mussel's foot. The statocysts help the mussel with georeception, or orientation.
Mussels are heterothermic, and therefore are sensitive and responsive to temperature.
Unionids in general may have some form of chemical reception to recognize fish hosts. How the giant floater attracts its fish hosts is unknown.
Glochidia respond to touch, light and some chemical cues. In general, when touched or a fluid is introduced, they will respond by clamping shut. (Arey, 1921; Brusca and Brusca, 2003; Watters, 1995)
- Communication Channels
- chemical
- Perception Channels
- visual
- tactile

Food Habits
In general, unionids are filter feeders. The mussels use cilia to pump water into the incurrent siphon where food is caught in a mucus lining in the demibranchs. Particles are sorted by the labial palps and then directed to the mouth. Mussels have been cultured on algae, but they may also ingest bacteria, protozoans and other organic particles.
The parasitic glochidial stage absorbs blood and nutrients from hosts after attachment. Mantle cells within the glochidia feed off of the host's tissue through phagocytocis. (Watters, 1995)
- Primary Diet
- planktivore
- detritivore
- Plant Foods
- algae
- phytoplankton
- Other Foods
- detritus
- microbes
- Foraging Behavior
- filter-feeding
Unionids in general are preyed upon by muskrats, raccoons, minks, otters, and some birds. Juveniles are probably also fed upon by freshwater drum, sheepshead, lake sturgeon, spotted suckers, redhorses, and pumpkinseeds.
Unionid mortality and reproduction is affected by unionicolid mites and monogenic trematodes feeding on gill and mantle tissue. Parasitic chironomid larvae may destroy up to half the mussel gill. (Cummings and Mayer, 1992; Watters, 1995)

- pumpkinseed, Lepomis gibbosus
Ecosystem Roles
Fish hosts are determined by looking at both lab metamorphosis and natural infestations. Looking at both is necessary, as lab transformations from glochidia to juvenile may occur, but the mussel may not actually infect a particular species in a natural situation. Natural infestations may also be found, but glochidia will attach to almost any fish, including those that are not suitable hosts. Lab transformations involve isolating one particular fish species and introducing glochidia either into the fish tank or directly inoculating the fish gills with glochidia. Tanks are monitored and if juveniles are later found the fish species is considered a suitable host.
Glochidial metamorphosis and natural infestations have been observed for bluegill, green sunfish, black crappie, rock bass, largemouth bass, bluntnose minnow, central stoneroller, common shiner, striped shiner, blackchin shiner, blacknose shiner, brook silverside, Iowa darter, Johnny darter, rainbow darter, and yellow perch.
In lab trials, glochidial metamorphosis was observed on banded killifish, golden topminnow, longnose gar, longear sunfish, pumpkinseed, creek chub, golden shiner, redfin shiner, blacknose dace, brook stickleback (Arey, 1932; Howells, 1997; Lefevre and Curtis, 1910; Penn, 1939; Trdan and Hoeh, 1982; Tucker, 1928)

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Mussels are ecological indicators. Their presence in a water body usually indicates good water quality.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no significant negative impacts of mussels on humans.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney Collab on Line for Goop
So what took best friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney so long to collaborate? It seems like a no brainer to most.
"We complement each other," Paltrow said. "It was the right time. We're very close friends. We were bringing two worlds together and it was important not to force them."
They created a capsule collection Paltrow's web site, Goop, that is devoted to a healthy lifestyle, beautiful things and delicious food. Some of the items in the Stella McCartney x Goop collection include of a classic black blazer, charcoal gray knit jumpsuit, black jeans and black wool trouser. McCartney's new Beckett handbag in black, gray and white will also be available. Prices start at $795 and launches on September 12th.
"It makes perfect sense. Stella and I keep our [collaborations] to a minimum," Paltrow said, explaining that both are extremely selective about the projects they choose.
"For me, it's trying to find the ones that fit" with my company, McCartney told WWD.
"When one of your best friends is a very successful artist and you love and admire her work, you want to support it at all [costs]," Paltrow added. "I have this start-up, Goop, and I have a strong idea of what I want it to be. I went to Stella and asked if she would collaborate with me. She never had done a collaboration like this before until I strong-armed her. She's the most insanely amazing designer."
"I'm cringing," McCartney said, reacting to the praise. "Gwyneth has such a strong sense of style. One automatically recognizes what she likes to wear - very timeless and effortless pieces."

Comments about Womens Hoka One One Kailua Tarmac Running Shoe:
Absolutely fantastic shoes! I have had plantar fascitis on and off for over one year. I have had just about every stability shoe that I can find and not one has helped me with the discomfort. I am running with orthodics and continue to do my strengthening exercises. I have yet to have one moment of pain with my Hokas. I have ran up to 8 miles and love them. I highly recommend these shoes, they are not going to resolve the injury but they have allowed me to continue running pain free and continue my rehab :-)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Originally written on Nightmare on Helm Street | Last updated 1/7/13
Not a whole lot of new news to report this morning. But we're gearing up for this short season that could start next week. We could be watching Red Wings hockey in 7 days. I know this has been painful. I know that it has been frustrating. But let's put our fan hats (made of tin foil) back on and think about not what we've lost...but what we are NOT losing. 1. We are not losing another year of Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg's career. 2. The chance to have a furious few days of talking about who is going to wear the "C" next week, That's just a couple of things...I'm sure there is much more (feel free to chime in). Imagine what we all would have been going through if King Lidas had indeed decided to come back this year, only to go through a work stoppage. More after the jump. As for the deal that was FINALLY hammered out. Here are a couple of the details according to NHL.com: The deal spans 10 years with an out option for either side after eight years There will be a seven-year limit on new player contracts (extended to eight for players re-signing with their own team) There will be a Salary Cap of $64.3 for the 2013-14 season with the floor resting at $44 million The 2013 season Cap will reportedly be at $70.2 million. To be able to meet the reduced cap number in 2013-14, each team will be allowed the option of two compliance buyouts before the start of that season ...so countdown to our next work stoppage in 2021? Ah who cares? LET'S GO RED WINGS! Who's our next captain?

The Stork OTC Home Conception Aid.
The Stork OTC incorporates familiar elements with the condom-like cap and tampon-like delivery and removal of the cap, so you can use it at home, in private before having to try more aggressive treatments (or after having already tried them) – and without the same loss of intimacy. The Stork OTC lets you take charge of your family planning, and act as a team while you do it.
Everyone goes through a different journey of trying for a family. For some it can be difficult or take longer than expected. However, different approaches work for different people. The Stork OTC is a new, over-the-counter option that can help people with common fertility difficulties.
FDA-cleared applications for The Stork OTC include common fertility difficulties attributed to both men and women, including:
- Low Sperm Count
- Unfavorable Vaginal Environment (pH imbalance)
- Motility Issues
- Unexplained Infertility

Hotels in Provence
Our favorite hotels in Provence are designed to complement the natural beauty that surrounds them. Some of the best hotels in Provence stand out as pieces of history in their own right. Built as a private estate in the 19th century, the Château de la Messardière in Saint Tropez has been restored and transformed into a five-star resort. Nearly 200 years later, guests can still take in sweeping views of the Provencal coastline from its 25-acre hillside grounds, which act as an ornithological reserve.
In Aix, the five-star Villa Gallici is a prime option for travelers looking for a particularly romantic place to stay in Provence. Book one of 22 rooms in the 19th-century villa—all decorated with Versailles-inspired luxe—and take time to stroll through its seven-acre garden. Then, reserve a table at its restaurant for expertly prepared regional cuisine. For more contemporary countryside amenities, the Terre Blanche Resort features a full spa, two 18-hole golf courses and an infinity pool overlooking the rolling hills beyond. Travelers in the market for rooms in the middle of it all can also opt for hotels in Provence like à Aix, a contemporary boutique hotel located in the center of its namesake city.
A former 13th-century stone fortress may not seem like the most welcoming structure for a bed-and-breakfast, but Château de Cassis feels at once intimate and modern. It hovers 250 feet above the Mediterranean, in Cassis, which is quietly becoming an insider's alternative to St.-Tropez.
This property, formerly a Four Seasons Resort, came under new management in 2012.
This luxe, 61-room hotel in the heart of Avignon is set in a 700-year-old grand palace—once a cardinal's residence—adjacent to the Palais des Papes. Historic touches include 18th-century architectural details, period tapestries, and toile de Jouy hangings.
An intimate hotel in the city center.
Maison d'hôte owners like Bernard and Charlotte Anne de Castellane are the last of their kind. To them, "French country" is the meadow in front of their château, not a style of gobbledygook decorating.
A 17th-century five-bedroom hunting lodge with pool, guesthouse, and a caretaker, on 650 acres in Provence's Luberon.

I loved it! I made it twice. The second time I added half the amount of mayo and sour cream and my family liked it even better.

Watch 'Elvis Presley' Cover AC/DC's 'Whole Lotta Rosie'
Here's something for everyone who ever wondered what it might have sounded like if Elvis Presley sat in with AC/DC.
Here's something for everyone who ever wondered what it might have sounded like if Elvis Presley sat in with AC/DC.
It's pretty hard to find someone who is an Elvis fan. It's for those fans that I'm writing this blog post. Priscilla has a new book out titled Shades of Elvis-Through the Eyes of Artists. The book is exactly what the title says it is. A certain group of artists, picked by Priscilla, who had the opportunity to wear a pair of shades that Elvis actually wore.
Everybody knows Elvis Presley is still alive. But who knew Bruce Lee and Kurt Cobain were still alive too?
There are many shows that follow different stories about how Elvis faked his death. I worked in Nashville at a Tower records and someone dropped off a bag of tapes and asked us to sell them, and keep the money, that this was proof Elvis was alive, and the tapes really sounded like him, but this really does.
Here's what some of rock's best-loved deceased stars would look like if they were alive today.
In today's hunka hunka burnin' rumors, rapper Kanye West may or may not be in talks to buy Graceland, the Memphis home of the late King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley. (Even though Presley recorded a generation or so earlier than most of the artists we cover at Ultimate Classic Rock, his influence on many of these artists we cover is undeniable.)
Three individuals that have ties to the rock/pop music world are being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Kenny Rogers, Bobby Bare, and "Cowboy" Jack Clement will take their place in the hallowed hall during a ceremony later this year.
Lisa Marie Presley has a career of her own and was reluctant for the longest time to chase the same thing her father was crowned "The King" for. Now, she was reluctant to sing with her father, but was convinced by her producer T. Bone Burnett.
Marking the day of Elvis Presley's Death, I always try to do something on the morning show. This morning I was visited by three Elvis'. It was a preview of the free Elvis Concert tonite.
The casual fan knows that Elvis Presley is buried - along with other family members - in a special spot in the backyard of Graceland. The TRUE fan knows that he was buried somewhere else for the first two months, following his death in 1977. That original burial site is know up for auction.
I've always wondered back in the day, there were beautiful women who were not supermodels. Some have gone undiscovered for years, here's a great interview of one of those ladies.
More than five decades ago, a 21-year-old Elvis was caught on film giving a playful French kiss to a lovely--and unidentified--young woman. The photo became iconic; but even the photographer, Alfred Wertheimer, didn't know who the girl was. Her name, if not her image, remained unknown for years.
Until now. According to an interview with Vanity Fair, a 75-year-old real estate manager from Charleston has stepped forward to claim the identity of Elvis's anonymous "date for the day."
