Highlights: Sicily (Palermo, Agrigento, Taormina)
Only in Sicily can you commune with the culture of Hellenic antiquity, the grandeur of the Middle Ages and the marvels of the Renaissance all forged by a dozen civilizations.
Sicily is not just a destination, it is an island crammed with glorious architecture, marvelous landscapes and gastronomical delights almost too good to be believed. Wander rolling hills dotted with olive groves and eucalyptus trees and stroll markets where the people are as colorful as the produce. Journey to the past as you visit wondrous Greek ruins with Mt. Etna rising in the distance. At night, relax in well-appointed accommodations that offer style and comfort.
Meet your private guide and driver and head for the Tasca D'Almerita estate, where you'll tour an olive grove and vineyard with a wonderful tasting in both. Visit the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia in Monte Pelligrino and enjoy spectacular views of the bay of Palermo. Wander through the Greek theater in Taormina and take in the sweeping vistas of the sea below. Spend the day experiencing Mount Etna up close and personal with your own naturalist guide. Glimpse the Craters of Silvestri and the wonderful scenic gorges of Alcantara. Ascend to the main crater by cable car and experience the thrill of getting intimate with an active volcano.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Meet your driver for a private Airport (Falcone Borsellino) transfer with a private vehicle and driver.

If you would like to have the presence of an English speaking Assistant or Guide for your transfer this can be pre-arranged upon request and would be subject to an additional supplement.
Avail of a premium level of service with assistance and a welcome in Palermo airport.
Enjoy a 4 hour private walking tour of Palermo. This diverse crossroads of Mediterranean and northern European civilization is more than a museum. It's a vibrant city whose unique culture has been forged and molded by three millennia of history emerging from three continents. There's no other place on earth like Palermo, and to discover the history of this singular city is to experience something of the diverse worlds that have created something which has evolved into its own culture.The streets of old Palermo are mixture of intriguing outdoor markets, subtle niches and long-forgotten secrets. After nine centuries street markets still evoke the atmosphere of Arab souks. Only the Baroque churches and palazzi on the same narrow streets remind you that you're in Italy. Sicily --ruled from Palermo as a Fatimid emirate and then as a Norman kingdom-- transcends this by many centuries. Let your Guide know your particular interests and he/she will help you discover the city in a new way. Your Guide will meet you at your hotel. Please note that one should wear comfortable shoes and a hat; and that this tour is suitable for children.
The Excelsior Palace Hilton Hotel (4*) in Palermo is a restored 19th century palazzo with art nouveau features, within 150 meters of the Politeama and Massimo theatres. The guestrooms feature traditional décor and antique wood furnishings; all include balconies and satellite TV. The Liberty Hall Restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and features 19th century décor. Having being completely restored in the year 2005, this historic building now houses one of the most impressive hotels in Palermo. Located beside the Giardino Inglese, Villa Garibaldi and Villa Trabia the property is perfectly suited to visiting the city's many sites.
This morning, meet your private guide and driver at your hotel and then depart for Segesta, an ancient town with ruins from the 5th century BC located on the top of Monte Barbaro. Here you will visit the wonderfully preserved Doric Temple and the Theatre of Segesta. Afterward you will continue to Erice which was one of the few Sicilian towns which had a typical medieval past. There you will have time to explore, as well as have lunch (not included). Next you will continue on to the Trapani's coast lined with salt pans. After completion, you will be returned to your hotel in Palermo. No admissions included.
Enjoy a private transfer with vehicle and driver to Agrigento.
Meet up with your guide in Agrigento for a three hour guided tour visiting the magnificent Valley of the Temples, scenery of extraordinary beauty, amongst the imposing Greek ruins, the Garden of the Kolymbetra and the Necropolis. (includes transportation and entrance for Valley of Temples included).
Set in 5,000 square metres of lush gardens, the Hotel Della Valle (4*) is spread over four storeys and is located 1.5 kilometres from Agrigento centre and four kilometres from the beach. The hotel's 115 guestrooms have modern decor with patterned fabrics and dark wood furnishings; all include air conditioning, internet connections, and satellite television. The hotel extends to a palm-flanked outdoor pool and houses two restaurants; the amphitheatre hosts regular entertainment.
This morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Agrigento and continue to Piazza Armerina to view the extraordinary floor mosaics in the Roman Villa del Casale with your local guide.

Scenes include children at play and big game hunts showing some of the exotic African animals brought to Rome for gladiator games. Then arrive in Enna to visit accompanied by your local guide. This town offers plenty of ancient Greek and cultural attractions. Among the most dominant structures in Enna, the Cathedral takes a central position as in the rest of the Sicily - a work of the Baroque Architecture, the Cathedral was built in the 14th century and features elaborate architectural and artistic adornments which were carried out at different times over the centuries. Drop off at your hotel in Taormina. Entrance fee included.
Located in a peaceful 20th century Sicilian Villa in the heart of Taormina, The Ashbee Hotel (5*) was built in the 1908 by Colonel Shaw-Hellier who commissioned the famous Architect and designer Charles Robert Ashbee. Easy to locate, just a few steps from the main street and chic boutiques of Taormina, the hotel offers easy access to the main theaters, museums and heritage centers of the city. A short walk leads to the areas renowned restaurants. Today, this new charming house offers some of the finest accommodation in Sicily. With 25 guestrooms and a number of suites, you will find everything you require for a relaxing English hospitality style stay.
Get the most out of your time spent in Taormina, and in the company of a local Guide, visit the amazing Greek Theatre set on a hill overlooking the sea and the Duomo. The historical centre is rich in luxurious shops, so feel free to do some shopping before returning to your hotel. (includes entrances).
Enjoy a full day tour with your private vehicle and naturalist guide/driver to the Mount Etna area, visiting the Craters of Silvestri.

Europe Randy Gramlich , October 07, 2013 "Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Our time in Dubrovnik and Split were awesome, in hind sight we both wished we would have went back to Split from Plitvice Lakes rather than carry on to Zagreb. We both found Split much more appealing and would have definitely preferred to spend another night there rather than Zagreb. We'll know for next time! Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

Lent has a rich and storied tradition in the church – forty days of self-denial, reflection, and prayer. I must confess that I have not been overly enamored with Lent. There's a good reason for this – Lent became something else for me to do. Some other rule to keep among a host of others. I gave up rule-based Christianity for a heart-based version about eight years ago. In doing that, my relationship with God improved drastically and I became a tolerable individual. Plus, it keeps my heart-rate down. Now, I run away screaming from anything that resembles legalism in the slightest.
Lent for most folks today is a second chance at recouping the losses of New Year's Day resolutions…only this time, there's a little divine intervention. Others opt for silly self-denials – caffeine, sugar, candy. If we refuse to stress out over Lenten commitments we often end up trivializing them. Neither does anything for the soul. What's more, I understand the importance of fasting, but am put off by people gearing up to fast for a specific period of time for no good reason. Once God began to show me the importatnce of living a "fasted" life, my need for a calendar date to start a fast went out the window…and with it, the relevance of Lent.
But (as is often the case) I'm wrong. Not for decrying triviality or legalism, but for not approaching Lent in a different way. Lent is important when it promotes serious reflection, healthy spirituality, and improves relationships. Okay. Great. But how? Well, this is what I've come up with. You're welcome to adapt it as you see fit. Rather than giving up sweets or sodas, I try to "fast" things that will improve my quality of Christianity. Here are two examples.
First, I have fasted people for Lent before. Rather I should say that I fast a person's influence over me. Let me explain. We all have people in our lives that irritate us or get under our skin – classmates, co-workers, relatives, even our friends. I don't fast their presence in my life – they are gonna be around me anyway. But I do fast their control over my emotions and ability to wreck my mood. I fast those sleepless nights where I continually play a conversation I had with them while thinking up extremely clever comebacks to say. I figured out that when I do those things I am giving that person extreme control over my thought life that would be better used for something that actually matters. So I "fast" that person for 40 days. It's absolutely liberating.
Another example: I have fasted expectations I have for another person for 40 days. Often times, my disappointment with another has to do with what I believe they should be willing to do rather than what they actually are doing. Of course, this can be a problem in marriages, but it applies to all the same people groups I mentioned above as well. Most times our anger towards others involves a big, fat SHOULD: how we believe others should behave rather than allowing them the liberty to live their own lives as they please. So, I will locate an individual upon whom I have placed unrealistic expectations – a spouse, child, co-worker, church leader – and I'll completely relax any expectations of them for those 40 days. Of course, I don't tell them, but I do notice that our relationship improves dramatically simply because they can feel that freedom in our relationship. The great thing is that after the 40 days, the relationship is usually going so much better that I continue that relaxed state. Truthfully, God means for our relationships to be that way all the time – Lent is just a way to jump start that process.
Be creative with Lent this year. Forget the cokes and candy. If used correctly, Lent can be a liberating way to create new avenues of spiritual health in our lives.

If you burn through these or break them, it is likely your own fault. I have had mine for several years and they are still sharp and hog right through anything I throw at them.You will have problems with any drill bits if you aren't using the right speed for the material, if you do not use cutting fluid, and if you are not holding the workpiece correctly.These have outlasted and outperformed a set I bought elsewhere and cost me a fraction of what I paid previously.

They don't last
I used these for cutting through plastic, resin and relatively soft metal. Within a few weeks they were shot.

Great bits!
By Farmer fran

About Me Craftsperson Handywoman
Comments about Warrior 3 Piece Titanium Nitride Coated High Speed Steel Step Drills:
These bits are very convenient, because you don't need to switch bits for various size holes. They are holding up very well drilling into metal, with the use of cutting oil in harder metals. Really like using these bits with metal. I haven't used them for wood.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I bought the bit set months ago and used them for the first time today---did a fantastic job. They really cut good and are easy to use in my drill press. I drilled holes up to 3/4" with no problems---I just kept pumping oil on the bit and metal where they met to keep it cool and keep down friction. If you see smoke, BACK OFF and put more oil before continuing your cut. They should last for a long time with PROPER use.

Outstanding Value
By Vomtono

About Me Professional
This is an outstanding product, I have used it for years in the garage door industry. You need to drill a quick hole or enlarge one, this is the tool for you the quick change feature makes it quick and easy to use in a drill driver or an impact driver. This product works just as well as the big money ones at a far less expense and when it's dead toss it and get some more. They last a long time and can be resharpened just like the expensive ones. Use em they work.
awesome bits!
By mcm95403
from San Carlos, CA
I have a set of these that I've used off and on for 5-6 years. They cut right through sheet metal just great. I did manage to dull the tip of one drilling a dozen or so holes in some REALLY tough stainless, but it's still good enough for it to start cutting into steel. Amazing performance, especially at this price.

My first set lasted me 3 years, second set is still going! Destroyed the bigger one in the set on some 5/16th stainless. But hell stainless is hell on any bit! I dissagree about thick metals. I regularly drill 3/8th cold rolled flat bar to 3/4" bolt holes...
Great Bits!
By RideKing
from Missouri
Needed to drill 3/4" holes in 1/4" thick steel, these were just the ticket! Set my HF benchtop drill press to 620rpm and proceeded to cut through the steel like butter! Great value for the price!

U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Chuck Hagel marked the 10th anniversary of the war's beginning with statements praising the service members who fought in Iraq. Obama honored the more than 1.5 million service members and civilians who served there and the memory of the nearly 4,500 Americans who died there.
"The last of our troops left Iraq with their heads held high in 2011, and the United States continues to work with our Iraqi partners to advance our shared interest in security and peace."
Obama said a strong Post-9/11 GI Bill would help veterans pursue jobs and education.
"We must ensure that the more than 30,000 Americans wounded in Iraq receive the care and benefits they deserve and that we continue to improve treatment for traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder."
Hagel and Obama also praised the sacrifices of service members' families.

Gomez: If I lose Tuesday, 'I shall return'
Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez says he's not discouraged by polls that show him trailing his rival. And the Republican businessman and former Navy SEAL said Sunday an Election Day loss wouldn't mean an end to his political career.
"I'm confident I'm going to win. But as a famous general once said in World War II, I shall return. And I know that a lot of people are very excited about our candidacy," Gomez said on "Fox News Sunday." Voters in Massachusetts will select a new U.S. senator Tuesday to serve out the term started by John Kerry, who left the Senate earlier this year to become secretary of state. If Gomez loses, he could run again for the seat in 2014.
The Republican is pitted against longtime Democratic Rep. Edward Markey in the special election. The contest has been marked by negative campaigning from both sides: Markey has accused Gomez of being a pawn for national Republicans, while Gomez says Markey's long tenure in Washington makes him a poor advocate for Bay Staters.
"Congressman Markey has probably done the most misleading, egregious campaign, trying to paint somebody that I'm not, and he's trying to scare people," Gomez said Sunday. "I think he's scared and he doesn't want to talk about his record. And in the end, people are going to come to the polls, because they're more enthusiastic voting for me as opposed to voting against somebody else."
Surveys in Massachusetts have consistently put Markey in the lead, though the margins have varied. On Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden campaigned for the 20-term lawmaker in South Boston, becoming the latest high-profile Democrat to hit the state. President Barack Obama and the first lady have both stumped for Markey in the past several weeks.
Republicans are hoping for a repeat of 2010's special Senate election in Massachusetts, which saw Scott Brown pull an upset win over Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley, becoming the first Republican in decades to represent Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate. Brown lost his re-election bid last year to consumer advocate and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren
Speaking Sunday, Gomez said he was a moderate Republican who shared many of Obama's legislative objectives, including passing comprehensive immigration reform and battling climate change.
"I look forward to working with President Obama, I look forward to working with Sen. Warren, I look forward to working with all the senators and congressmen down in D.C.," Gomez said. "I have been bipartisan my whole life. That's the problem we have in D.C. right now. We have such a high level of cynicism, fiscal mismanagement and hyperpartisanship."

To bad this wasn't cross platform, these seems like a perfect game to be cross platform for Live & PSN.
Add me if you want to!
I will be getting this game as soon as it comes out.
Hope to see you guys on the PSN.
It's not hard to guess.
Hint... rhymes with "Spam-Hair-Wig"
PSN-ID: sundiego
looking forward to seeing you guys online

I think I got it... Man-Bear-Pig ... haha
I have sent everyone who has listed their PSN tag on here an invite.
Too bad Jason2k and Elizabeth2k only have a xbox.
my psn is: bingsgo
I wonder if the game sells well on both systems if cross platform is somthing that can be done down the line.
I'm and Xbox gamer so I'm hoping it does well on xbox, I just prefer the controller and Live.
But for those on PS3 who prefer that, that's cool too.
Being that the control layout is identical on both platforms, this just seems like an easy one to go cross platform.
I guess a game would have to have independent servers for both MS and Sony to run together.
My ID is Derozero.
Yeah, it's just not possible.
I believe Final Fantasy XI on 360 is compatible with the PS2 version of the game, but that's an exception, and it accomplishes that by bypassing Xbox Live entirely.
So if you had the choice, what would you prefer? Xbox Live awesomeness but non-cross platform compatibility, or crappy non-XBL multiplayer that works with PS3?
I'd go with the XBL myself.
I dunno, no online gaming feature is as important to me as player-base. Having twice the number of players to play against is a very appealing situation.
Hey everyone. My PSN is Movieman1085.... cant wait to play this game!
PS3 sucks!!! go 360!!! its a thousand times better
Are you kidding me ? How did this thread for PS3 users to post their PSN tags turn into a pride parade for tardbox users. I have been pretty nice, but this is intolerable. Several of you tardbox lamers have come in here talking up the xbl service and the crappy tardbox. It's B.S. !! Also, it's quite clear that 2k has a preference for the tardbox, by their refusal to post any PS3 screen shots, and giving the tardbox extra features like video/voice chat. And to top it off, one of them comes in here to rag on PS3 online calling it "crappy". No the only thing crappy is the tardbox. PS3 users have blu-ray, tardboxxers have a crappy $300 hd-dvd drive that's worth nothing now. PS3s online service is free. The PS3 is much more powerful and technologically advanced than the tardbox. I could go on and on, but I don't want to make anyone cry. In the end PS3 users will have the last laugh. And I am pretty satisfied knowing that.
haha, thats funny because xbox live is like much much much better then psn, playstation network? give me a break, and wow, ps3 comes with a blue-ray, woopdie-****ing do, and thats funny because the game of the year (bioshock) was only on xbox 360 and pc. the ps3 costs like $100 or $200 dollars more and isn't worth it at all. to go with that ps3 has like no good games at all, games only for 360: halo 3, bioshock, saints row, crackdown, and even more good ones, btw i really dont want to argue about this, i have a 360 and have played ps3, i think the 360 is better but w/e
They are both good consoles imo and we can thank the competition for the advancement on both sides. Firaxis' lead platform w/ this project is Xbox 360 so it's fair to say their software favors that a bit. They are doing the whole thing in-house and they don't have a lot of console game development experience so it's understandable they would go that route imo. Future projects may be different.
As far as the online side, the philosophies of msft/sony are completely different. We are essentially looking at the early years of AOL/Compuserve vs the lower-cost straight dial-up ISPs. It's not a question of which model will win (even Live will eventually be free and open), but rather is it worth paying money in the interim. I personally don't think so (hence the reason I buy all multiplayer games on PS3) but I can understand how people would.

Can we keep this on topic?
Go take the PS3 vs. 360 flame war else where. There is no reason to be discussing it here. All its going to do is get the thread locked.
im going to say what this thread is about.
my psn is icejon
Last edited by icejon; 04-23-2008 at 02:16 PM.
BTW Greesedog is not a representive of the xbox community.
I'm sure we all agree , both sides have guys like that.
I'm MacLucio both here and on PSN
anyone play warhawk
actually i do have a 360, so therefore i am a representive of xbox, but it was a joke in the first place, i was just wanting to see what all you ps3 fanboys would do if somebody came in and insulted you precious ps3, jeez, take a ****ing joke, you dont have to get all defensive
Ok, and why would you do that? This thread is about sharing PSN gamer tags so that PS3 players can play with each other when the game is released. Anything else shouldn't be posted here.
My PSN: Magwill
Although I'm not online very often these times since I'm busy.
PSN ID: Ravenblade86
I'm not online alot at the minute but by the time CivRev is out I should have extra free time and although I normally stick more to single-player games I'm sure I'll be playing this one online abit
psn-ID : antwerpo
Yeah, let's keep this thread about PSN tags, guys.
we actualy might get a chance to use this with bioshock seeing as its cooming out for the ps3 now

called "Why Do They Hate Us?" and it describes her account of the war on women in
the Middle East.
- Here's an interesting take on Mitt Romney's "unnecessary speech" at Liberty University. It explores the link between
Romney's campaign and his evangelical support base.

December 9th, 2013, 8:24 am by By BILL PLUNKETTThree of the most successful managers in baseball history -- Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox -- were announced Monday as unanimous selections to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Each of the three received all 16 votes from the Expansion Era Veterans Committee. None of the nine other candidates (a group that included former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and former Dodgers Steve Garvey and Tommy John) received more than six votes. Twelve votes are needed for election.

Hello Everyone name's Dez I hang around the Wifi section mostly. I started this thread a few years back, it seems 2010 was my last update @_@. I have revived this because I have a passion for art too and I got a new art tablet. I love to draw I hope to accomplish my dreams with my hobby, but as of now all I can do is practice. My stuff isn't like some of the other things here, because smogon has some top notch artists and I feel embarrassed to have my stuff posted next to theirs xD. I use a Cintiq 12wx I just got it March 31 2012, I got it for my birthday from my mother and I am loving it! Before my cintiq I used to use a wacom Bamboo fun it was nice but I spilled milk and broke it o_o, but now with this new one I can once again draw! Please enjoy my gallery of junk maybe there will be something you like xD. Program I use are both PhotoshopCs4 and Paint Tool Sai mostly sai it feels easier to control especially with colors. Completed 4/6/12 @ around 2am o_o My entry for MAC#16 I really really like this one It turned out great and probably my best one so far although I love the rapidash one xD Completed 4-5-12 Done for my good friend Ria she wanted to cross a rainbow with her rapidash I decided to get a little wacky with it Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Completed 4-4-12 Done for my good friend Dp0d. He wanted to soar the sky on his Gliscor Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Completed 4-3-12 Done for my friend Kaly nothing specific she just wanted a trainer next to Raichu *I don't have much practice with women so I focused on the trainer much more than raichu >_> not the best out of the bunch. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Completed 4-2-12 Done for my buddy Justin he asked me to turn his avatar which was a normal trainer sprite on top of magnezone into this I liked how it came out I thnk I tried to hard on the Shadows. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide 4/8/10 Older work with Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide ALL Work below is done by mouse before I got my tablet. Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Added 8/17/09 Added 8/04/09 Azumarril- Not one of the best but its okay xD For Destroyer123 Crobat Golduck Various pokemon Originally Pikachu was taunting or mocking his trainer and the trainer was pointing and yelling at someone but then I couldn't get it right and to save it I did Cacturne because it's pretty creepy.
That quagsire is amazingly disturbing. I would ask to use it as my avy but it appears that nook beat me too it
thanks all for the comments i have a new picture to add today Dusknoir has always been one of my most Used pokemon he is a great pokemon here he is in this drawing
Probably a dumb question but did you make those with like photoshop or with your pen/paper? Either way, good job. I really like the Gallade one. ________ FORD TOWCOMMAND
hopefully im not breaking any rules but today i got my tablet and wanted to share There is still alot i need to get used to from my mouse and how i normally use my pen and pencil but still this will be loads of fun :)
try pressure sensitivity on the brush if you use photoshop, choose a hard round brush, go to brush settings and make sure that you have shape dynamics on, that should turn on pressure sensitivity. you don't have to change brush size much that way, just don't press down hard for thinner lines
This isn't a necro post I am Reviving this instead of making a new one because I can still use this one I have my new Tablet and am doing lots of drawing I plan to enter MAC here so please enjoy my works maybe you'll like one of 'em xD OP is edited and what not with latest are and stuff.
Thanks man I like the trainer on that one I think magnezone could have gone better but not bad overall ^_^
Sweet. Say, do you take requests? If so, would you be able to draw me and a rhyhorn? I basically look like the guy that I've normally been drawing in my comics section. Or the guy that's my avvy. But that's only if you take requests. :D
Sure I take them I have quite a few on my plate right now I'll write it down and i'll let you know when its done. I would say in a week or so I will start yours Since these seem to take me about a day to finish and I have about 4 requests from friends. I'm sure I will throw you a sketch preview within a day or so.
Good stuff here. I would say you've definitely improved, but I technically can't say that since you started out with a mouse.

**The OOC is now up and can be found HERE**
The woman shrouded in her black hooded robes gazes out at every one of us. All we can see beneath her hood are the glimmering emerald eyes, wide with madness. She Looks over all of us, as we sit in the cafeteria, at our tables, in our chairs. She watches, a thin smile across pale red lips. Her white hand reaches out, and she points to a child near the front row. Her misty voice rings out, breaking the eerie silence.
"You there, young child. It is time. Step forth, for you have been chosen to enter the Dark Room. 'Tis your fate. 'Tis your destiny. Come, my Child." Hushed murmers ring through the crowd as we watch a little boy stand to his feet. He doesn't want to go. He doesn't move, his eyes are wide and he is frozen in fear. A man standing to the right of the woman in front of the room takes a step forward, ice blue eyes menacing as he does. A large nightstick hangs at his right side, and his polished boots clicking against the linoleum floor as he strides over to the child. He grabs the kid roughly by the arm, flings him in front of him, despite his cries. He grabs the child's hair, throws him at the woman's feet. She smiles, eyes glistening with tears of joy. She reaches down, pulls the child to his feet, and looks over the crowd of children before her. She, the matron of the Orphanage, looking over her flock.
"Children, remember it is an honor to go to the Dark Room. It is what you should desire. Now off to bed with all of you, and cheer for your fellow brother, for he will soon be a part of our truest goal--to make the entire world pay for the horrors we've had to endure in our lives. We will make the world pay. Remember, the world outside cares not for what you endure here, what you must go through. If they care nothing for you, then you should care nothing for them."
She leaves the room, trailed by the man with the blue eyes, and other security guards. We are left in the cafeteria, to finish our food and move on to our bedrooms...all before lights out, when any stragglers will be punished severely. You gaze around at the other weary faces, we all look around us to see the others that are with us. Some of us have lost all hope. Some of us wait for our turn in The Dark Room. We don't know what goes on in there, but we do know that nobody who enters is ever seen again. The sadness, the hate, the fury, the pain and sorrow...it fills the air with such tension that you can cut it with a knife.
But here is the question. Who are you? Are you one of us, one of the children here at the Eternal Faith Orphanage? Or are you one of them, the staff who runs the place...members of the Dark Order...I don't know who you are yet. Nor do you know me. If you are a child, you may yet get to know me. If you are an adult, you might also know me--because I'll be the one to escape; and I will take as many of these children with me. We will flee Eternal Faith before you Dark Order people can kill us all. Just you wait and see.
The Dark Room is based on the premise that we are all either Orphans trapped in the Eternal Faith Orphanage--or we are part of the staff that works there. The staff are all members of the Dark Order, a cult that is trying to wreak havok on the world. Every staff member of the Eternal Faith Orphanage has faced some great tragedy in their lives, and they blame not fate, not bad luck, but the world around them. The world is cruel to them, and these cultists want to get their revenge. They believe if they make the children miserable enough before killing them, make them hate the world as much as the cultists do, upon dying their souls gather together, creating a nasty horrific world that will eventually, when strong enough, bleed into the real world. If this happens, every human being will be subject to torture, pain, and eventual death.
This RP will require your characters to be one of two people: Either a child in the orphanage (ages 7-17) or one of the staff, and as such, a member of The Dark Order. If you decide to play as a child, your goal will be to find a way to survive and escape Eternal Faith. As a staff-member, your goal is what I outlined above--as well as to make the children's lives as miserable as humanly possible.
If you are interested in this RP, bear in mind that this contains mature content and mature themes. There will be graphic abuse of children, blood, sacrifice, and a very dark tone. That said, it will also be fun, interesting, and keep us going for a long time. I plan on our setting changing from time to time, as the orphanage tries to keep up appearances of being "legit" by taking children on "field trips" and that sort of thing. Plus, there is a playground on the Orphanage grounds. The setting itself is modern day, in the very small town of Summerset Heights.
The orphanage itself is a 4 story building, with the lobby area and the Matron's office on floor 1. Floor 2 is going to contain the cafeteria, classrooms (as the orphanage provides private education for it's children), padded isolation rooms to punish nasty kids, and restrooms. The 3rd floor contains all of the rooms for the female children, and the 4th floor contains all of the rooms for the male children. The basement is where the infamous Dark Room is located.
So, is anyone interested in this RP? If you are, just let me know. I want at least 3 or 4 people to show interest before I post the OOC, posting rules (these will be rather lax), and character sheet.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of July 28, 2008
"You're firing the Forresters?" asked a stunned reporter. Donna explained that she had power of attorney and would be running the company to protect Eric's best interests. "You're out of your mind," Felicia charged! Donna revealed that Brooke would be helping her out. The press was escorted out and Ridge warned his stepmom to reconsider, but Donna wouldn't back down.
Pam was shocked when Ridge, Thorne and Felicia filed by her desk and announced they were fired. Pam burst into Eric's office and raged at Donna for kicking out Eric's kids. Donna said she wasn't going to fire Pam since she knows that's not what Eric would want but sent Pam to work downstairs.
"You're no longer needed on the executive floor," Donna ordered and Pam stalked away. Brooke tried to reason with her sister but Donna was confident that she and Brooke can run Forrester together. Brooke made an impassioned
plea and asked Donna to at least think about telling Ridge that she made a mistake. Donna said she would think about it but after Brooke exited, Owen told a doubting Donna that she is surrounded by enough able-body people to help her run Forrester.
At Brooke's house, Ridge, Thorne and Felicia commiserated about their sudden unemployment status. Ridge scolded his sister for her deal with Owen. "Now we're out, Donna's in," Ridge groused. "God help us all." Felicia was still convinced that Owen had feelings for Donna but Ridge hoped that Brooke would be able to convince Donna to reinstate them. Ridge stormed out and Brooke called Thorne with the news that Donna may change her mind. But once Brooke returned to Eric's office, Donna announced that her decision is final. She begged for Brooke's help with the company but big sister walked out. Owen rhapsodized about Donna's qualities, then suddenly kissed her. She pulled away and fled.
At Forrester Creations, Owen flashed back to his smooch with Donna. When Donna returned to her desk, he apologized for the kiss; she agreed that it was a big mistake and made Owen promise it wouldn't happen again. After Owen departed, a very confused Marcus arrived and inquired about what was going on with the company. Donna revealed that she fired Ridge, Thorne and Felicia because they can't be trusted. She put him in charge and explained how Felicia hired Owen to seduce her in attempt to ruin her marriage to Eric. Later, an angry Steffy showed up and blasted Marcus for his mom's actions. Marcus shared Felicia's plot to ruin Donna and the duo set out to investigate seedy Owen by doing a search on the Internet (clever!). After coming up empty handed, Steffy griped that things just aren't fair ("It's my company and your mom has power?!"), but Marcus quickly shut her up with a steamy kiss.
Owen rifled through some sexy lingerie in Donna's bedroom. A stunned Donna entered, caught him in the act and demanded to know what he was doing there. After seeing her room was a mess (including a ruined wedding photo), Donna surmised that Eric's children are responsible. Owen offered to let her stay in the guesthouse with him, but she declined. Then, he advised her not to lash out against Felicia, Thorne and Ridge and reassured her that she could trust him to help her run the company in Eric's absence.
Miffed about Donna's firing rampage, Ridge returned home to a concerned Brooke, who tried her best to console him with a massage. Ridge vowed to make Donna pay for making such a big mistake. They kissed and fell into a loving embrace. When Ridge left the room, Brooke phoned Donna on the sly, begging her to put their differences aside and return the company to its rightful owners. Donna wouldn't back down and quickly hung up. Having overheard the call, Owen showed his support for Donna, who reiterated the fact that she just wants a little help. Owen embraced her. After, an emotional Donna launched into a monologue about her love for Eric, adding that she wouldn't know what to do without him. She poured herself a stiff drink to take the edge off, but Owen discouraged her from drinking, saying she needs to stay focused. When Owen tried to embrace her from behind, Donna resisted. He gave her a goodbye kiss on the cheek, reminded her that she can call on him if she needs. Then he departed. Alone, Donna broke down in tears as she lovingly clutched her and Eric's wedding photo.
At the hospital, Donna sat vigil at Eric's bedside. When Bridget came in, Donna claimed she couldn't sleep because she's too worried about him. Bridget surmised that Donna couldn't rest because she fired everyone at Forrester Creations. Donna stood by her decision, adding that she's just doing what's best for Eric's company. Donna tearfully plead for Eric to wake up.
Having slept in, Ridge and Brooke canoodled in bed and made plans to hop in the shower together before visiting Eric in the hospital. Ridge added that he enjoys being home to spend more time with her and the kids and admitted that he admires Donna's tenacity in attempt to protect Eric. Later, Ridge told Brooke to go to the office first to talk to Donna, adding that her presence might ensure that her sister won't run the entire company into the ground. Brooke vowed to do her best; Ridge lovingly thanked her for keeping him sane.
At Forrester Creations, Pam confronted Owen, who was rearranging things on Eric's desk for Donna's arrival (her first official day as a CEO). Pam scoffed when Owen tried to threaten her and advised her to cooperate with her new boss. Later, Owen welcomed Donna and continued to advise her on business affairs, reassuring her that she didn't go too far by firing Ridge. "How do you always know the right thing to say to me?" she asked and thanked him for his support. Owen worked his shallow charms, asking Donna to show him her beautiful smile; she couldn't resist. When Marcus arrived, he was concerned for Donna after he found out that someone had broken into the
house and trashed it. Owen explained that he had the alarm code changed, but didn't report the break-in to the police. When Donna departed for a meeting with her staff, Marcus called Owen out on trying to manipulate his mom. The duo exchanged some harsh words and Owen angrily admitted that he's "freaking crazy" about Donna, to which Marcus spat, "What? That's whack!"
Ridge arrived at the hospital where Bridget was taking Eric's vitals. There was no change in his condition. Bridget explained her shock and dismay at Donna's recent actions at Forrester Creations. Ridge sat down at Eric's bedside and gave a heartfelt plea for his father to come back because his family needs him.
Donna met with her staff, who said they were in shock about the sudden reorganization of the company. She tried her best to assuage their fears, saying it's only temporary and everything will be back on track when Eric returns. adding "Let's rock and roll!" Brooke showed up and told her sis that she's not really interested in helping her out with the company. Donna begged her to change her mind. After, Brooke hightailed it to the hospital and tried to comfort emotionally wrecked Bridget. After chatting with her
sis, Donna returned upstairs to find Marcus and Owen in the middle of their argument. Marcus demanded that Owen reveal the truth to her, so Owen admitted that he's got the hots for her. Marcus blasted Owen for trying to seduce a married woman. Owen and Donna stepped aside to talk it over. Owen confessed that he didn't expect much when he first came to L.A., but that she changed his outlook and her beauty makes everything else pale in comparison.
Marcus urged Donna to cut Owen loose. "This guy is bad news," Marcus
insisted. Donna asked Owen to come with her and they left the office. Brooke
showed up looking for her sister and Marcus shared his uneasy feeling about
Owen. Brooke became concerned when Marcus revealed that Owen is head over
heels for Donna. "The question is, what is his agenda?" Brooke wondered.
Marcus also accused Owen of staging a break-in at Eric's house.
Katie came by Nick's house for a visit and was overjoyed to see Jack. Katie
then comforted Bridget, who was distraught about her father's health. After
they had dinner, Bridget gifted Katie with a framed photo of her prom night
with Nick. Nick asked where his copy was and Bridget gave him a wallet-size
version. As Katie was leaving at the end of the evening, Bridget suggested
that they all three go boating soon to Catalina Island. "You're my angel,"
Katie told her niece.
At the Forrester mansion, Owen wouldn't recant his feelings for Donna.
"You're sweet and kind," he pointed out. "It's a shame that you have to
fight this family because you love their father so deeply." Owen vowed
his continued support which touched Donna. She insisted that Eric and his
image must come first and reluctantly fired Owen. He understood and as he
was walking out the door, Donna apologized, but he told her everything was
okay. He then kissed Donna lightly on the lips and departed. She was
obviously conflicted as she held Eric's picture and cried.
Katie called Bridget to thank her for dinner the night before. When Katie mentioned that she was at the hospital for her regular checkup, Bridget said she was coming down right away. But after hanging up, Nick pulled her back into bed for sex. After, Bridget asked about starting a family. "I would love to have a child with you," Nick answered but he was hesitant for Bridget to go through any emotional pain. Bridget acknowledged that her doctor warned that it would be difficult for her to carry a baby to full term. After Bridget left, Nick couldn't stop thinking about Katie.
Steffy told Marcus that she may leave Forrester Creations since half her family was thrown out by Donna. Marcus wanted Steffy to stay and they both hoped that Donna and Ridge could work things out. Marcus was thrilled when his mom called with news that she let Owen go. After hanging up. Marcus suggested that he and Steffy play hooky and go to the beach. They headed to Malibu, where they played in the surf, flew a kite and played paddle ball.
During Katie's checkup, Dr. Patrick announced that her tests results looked good. He asked how she was doing emotionally and she admitted to good and bad days. Katie mentioned she was feeling queasy so the doctor wanted to run another test and excused himself to contact the lab. When he returned, he announced, "You're pregnant." Katie was reeling from the news when Bridget
entered and immediately sensed something was wrong. "What is it?" Bridget asked anxiously. "Tell me."
