I bought a futon in the spur of the moment and brought it home, LOL. I should have just saved myself the trouble of hunting down every employee in a 10 mile radius and bought the one on display. I've literally finished the frame, and now I need to install the panels and everything and I'm just reading the rest of the instructions like…
Da fuq bro
I literally have been sleeping on a futon mattress sinking into the frame, LOL. Oh well, the room renovation has been coming around good~ I've been sooooooooooooooooooooo lucky on thrifting lately, like. sdlkfnalfksajl CAN I JUST PLEASE WORK AT VALUE VILLAGE. MY DREAM JOB. UGGEKFJSABH
Now that I got a new computer I can at least start doing video blogs again. I keep having an urge of wanting to write. I even bought a journal but for some really whenever I read back it just doesn't sound right than if I, myself, could just do vlogs. I still need to upgrade to do any MMORPG's or such like that but sa;ljca;lcj; I think the vlogs, hauls, and tutorials are the way to go now.
Have you ever been away so long where you feel it's out of your element to even have the slightest clue where to start? Yeah. I really want to talk to people and converse but it's like so much has happened over that amount of time it blows my mind where to even begin… I can't say things have gotten better, I've been working on it but working is helping a ton, only downside if when I get home or have a day off I literally sleep right through.
I just feel like I need to start opening up even if it's not to anyone just for the sake of my thoughts being put into something a bit more meaningful than text.
Every time I put my hand in his cage to give him a treat he rubs my hand with the top of his head to tell me he wants to be petted. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SDSVSJLGKJD;SLGJ;S MY HEART~~~ I think I'm going to name him Boo. He's just unbelievable adorable. I can't wait until he can roam freely in my room. I've been busy with work but when I get home tomorrow I'm going to clean out my room and duck tape all the wires in my room so I don't need to worry.
I'm spoiling him so much already. XD I always said I could never share my veggies with anyone but flsjalakflka MY LOVE~~~~ CAN HAVE ANY VEGGIES HE WANTS. I think with my next paycheck I might get him a little friend. :3
I ended up going to a place that rescues animals and keeps them in a shelter for adoption. The second I opened the cage I fell in love. I'm a proud mama to a gorgeous caramel brown & black Holland lop/Rex. The person was actually unsure entirely the breed it was but it does kinda of look like a lion head as well with how fluffy he is AND YES, IT'S A BOY. I wanted a female bunny but I fell in love before I could ask.It's probably the most sweetest tamed animal on the planet. ;~~~~;
I really need to name him… I think Boo, or Coco, or Buttercup would be suiting but slfkhaslkfhal I DON'T KNOWWWWW. ;A;
I'm getting a bunny today. :3
I think people think I'm exaggerating when I say I cannot be within a 10 mile radius of any thrift store and not go all out binge buying. I went with my aunt around 10AM because it was a 50% off promo day so I got a cart full of things and blew $130 easily, then when I was walking out I couldn't find my aunt so I ended up heading right back into Value Village looking for her and well… I found myself buying another $100 worth of clothing and bags. When I finally found her at the cash I picked up 2 more things and bam, another $20. LOLLL. Finally got out by 3pm… GG, first world problems of a thrift whore.
I didn't think I'd be as attached to Game of Thrones prior to watching it, now I find myseff unable to stop, LOL.

Prequels to Upcoming Theater Events and Sequels to Reviews & Features

A Last Hurrah to Summer by the Public Theater. Seeing two hundred New Yorkers perform a musical adaptation of The Winter's Tale at Central Park's Delacorte Theater is nothing short of spectacular. Conceived and directed by Lear deBessonet for the Public Theater's Public Works program, it was on the boards for three days only (from 9/05/14 to 9/07/14) but became a festive Last Hurrah to summer.
While other Delacorte productions can boast big name stars in their leads, this was simply Shakespeare writ large and performed by New York community members drawn from all five boroughs. Teamed up with professional actors and a first-rate creative team, this community-based venture really made the Bard's bittersweet romance about a mad tyrant and his redemption hum.
One of the advantages of the al fresco Delacorte stage is its spaciousness. And it surely accommodated the colossal cast who sprawled across its boards for this civic event. Smartly, deBessonet fluidly blocked his scenes and alternately populated them with any number of actors, from a handful to two hundred strong. The show was bolstered by cameo group performances by Sesame Street, New Theatre Ballet, Capoeira Kuanda, Rosie's Theater Kids, Shinbone Alley Stilt Band, Staten Island Lions, Megha Kalia's NYC Bhangra Dance Company—to mention just a few.
With deBessonet's resourceful direction, Todd Almond's original music and lyrics, and Chase Brock's choreography, alongside veteran actors in key roles, this became an authentic piece of musical theater tinged with the rich multi-cultural mélange of New York talent.
The Public Works program gives a genuine hat's off to the community-at-large, and meaningfully harks back to founder Joseph Papp's original impulse that Shakespeare is for everybody to enjoy, and even participate in. Here's hoping it remains an annual event. — Report by Deirdre Donovan

It will be launching a road tour in Providence, R.I., on Oct. 10.

A look at Broadway audiences courtesy of The Broadway League's 16th annual demographics report: Tourists accounted for 66% of all Broadway tickets, up from 63% in the 2011-2012 season. The number of attendances by domestic tourists has grown from 3.4 million in 1999 to 5 million in 2013. International visitors comprised a w high ofalmost 23% of tickets sold. Attendance by suburbanites was the lowest on record, at 17% or just under 2 million tickets. The average age of the Broadway attendee was 42.5 years old, slightly younger than the past few seasons, with the highest ever percentage of theatregoers age 18 – 24 (14% or 1.6 million admissions) in the history of this analysis. Kids and teens accounted for just over one million admissions. 78% of admissions were made by Caucasian theatregoers, the same as the previous year. That said, there is an increase the diversity of audiences, particularly with Hispanic audienceswhich at 8% wasthe second highest in the history of this analysis. Forty-one percent of respondents said they purchased their tickets online, with telephone sales declining accordingly. Females accounted for 68% of the audiences. Playgoers tended to be more frequent theatregoers than musical attendees. The typical play attendee saw seven shows in the past year; the musical attendee, three. Word-of-mouth was the most influential factor in show selection.
The London hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is headed to Broadway's Barrymore Theater next Fall. Marianne Elliott will again direct but count on a new Christopher rather than Luke Treadway. The London production which came to a halt after the Apollo Theater collapsed will resume in the Gielgud Theater late in June. For an idea of what to expect see our London Review.
Eugene O'Neill's The Ice Man Cometh comes to New York again in 2015! It will be at the Brooklyn's Academy of Music. It's a reprise of Chicago's Goodman Theatre production that starred Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy. The six-week engagement will run 2/05/15 to 3/15/15. The epic drama last big New York production was in 1999 at the Brooks Atkinson Theater and starred Kevin Spacey as Hickey.

Chancellor: Dr. G. Daniel Howard (interim)
Description: Arkansas State University is a comprehensive, multiple-purpose regional university offering top-quality academic programs ranging from the associate degree to the doctorate. The Jonesboro campus has 482 full-time instructional faculty members, more than 13,000 students from 38 states and 59 foreign countries, and more than 65,000 alumni.
The institution developed from one of four state agricultural schools established in 1909. It opened as a vocational high school in 1910 and was reorganized as a junior college in 1918. The legislature approved a name change to State Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1925, and a four year degree program was initiated in 1930. The name became Arkansas State College in 1933, and in 1967 the legislature elevated the school to university status. Since 1967, the university has become an institution with a diverse mission–to bring Arkansas to the world, and to bring the world to Arkansas.
ASU offers 42 degrees and advanced certificates in 154 undergraduate and graduate fields of study through 10 academic colleges and the Honors College on the Jonesboro campus. In addition to undergraduate degree offerings, 16 different master's degrees in 54 areas are offered, along with pre-professional programs in 12 areas. ASU also offers two specialist degrees with 23 areas of emphasis, and three doctoral degrees in five fields, which include educational leadership, environmental science, heritage studies, molecular sciences, and physical therapy.
The ASU Red Wolves compete in NCAA Division I-A, the top level, with 16 men's and women's intercollegiate sports. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf and track. Women's sports include basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, track and volleyball.
As a student-focused campus, ASU seeks to involve students in the administration of the university. Students are included in the executive committees, budgeting and planning processes, advisory committees, and shared governance. ASU students serve as ambassadors for the university by participating in recruiting and alumni events, and by hosting academic, business, political, and social leaders who visit campus.
ASU's Jonesboro campus is located about halfway between the lower Mississippi Delta region, one of the most fertile agricultural and cultural areas in the world, and the Ozark Mountains, equally rich in American folklore and tradition. The campus boasts 143 buildings and occupies an area of 1,474 acres on the slopes of Crowley's Ridge.

"Your role as universities is absolutely essential to grow the state's economy," said Haley in her challenge to the group of 11 state higher education leaders assembled Friday at the third annual Arkansas Association of Public Universities (AAPU) presidents and chancellors meeting.
Haley was among several presenters at the Friday luncheon who were invited to discuss the role higher education plays in economic development.
Randy Zook, president/CEO of Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce, said Arkansas is fortunate that its economy has been driven by major companies such as Walmart, J.B. Hunt, and Baldor Electric, but he is concerned about the challenges they face, how they will grow, and what new companies will surface over the next 10 years.
"We're pleased with the product you're providing, we wish you could provide more, we wish that you could be more strategic in your curriculum to make sure we have a good stream of students coming out of your schools to meet the workforce needs," Zook told the group.
The number one problem with bringing new business and industry to Arkansas is workforce, Haley said. "Workforce, workforce, workforce. I cannot say enough about how important it is, and we need to focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education."
Others involved in the discussion included Janet Roderick, state director of Arkansas Small Business Technology Development Center based at UALR; Jim Youngquist, executive director, UALR Institute for Economic Advancement; Kelly Lyon, director, UCA Community Development Institute Center; and Dr. Mark Peterson, extension specialist-community development, UA Division of Agriculture.
Tim Wooldridge, AAPU executive director, said the meeting brought university leaders together at a critical time. "These are the folks who are on the ground figuring out how to manage state budget cuts, interpret lottery scholarship decisions, and improve retention and graduation rates," he said. "At the same time, they must make decisions that determine the future of the state's economic development."
"That's why it is important to bring these issues to the table for discussion through organizations such as AAPU. We are an advocate for the collective interest of each university that will better serve Arkansas," he said.
The two-day meeting included a higher education budget review by Dr. Stanley Williams, deputy director, and Jackie Holloway, senior associate director of finance, of Arkansas Department of Higher Education. Wooldridge and the group also discussed 2010-2011 goals for the organization.
AAPU university presidents and chancellors in attendance were Dr. Joel Anderson, UALR; Dr. Charles Welch, Henderson State University; Dr. Jack Lassiter, UA- Monticello; Dr. Milo Shult, vice president for agriculture, UA Division of Agriculture;
Dr. David Rankin, Southern Arkansas University; Dr. Paul Beran, UA-Fort Smith; Dr. David Gearhart, UA-Fayetteville; Dr. Allen Meadors, UCA; and Dr. Alan Sugg, UA System.
Special guests were Dr. Les Wyatt, president, ASU System, and Dr. Robert Potts, ASU chancellor.
AAPU was created by the four-year Arkansas public universities; University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences; Criminal Justice Institute; Division of Agriculture, University of Arkansas; Clinton School of Public Service, and the Archeological Survey in 2006 as the Arkansas Association of Public Universities.
The Association is a nonprofit organization engaged in the improvement of higher education and in higher education policy advocacy, representing the collective interests of its member-institutions.]]>
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The presidents and chancellors of Arkansas' 11 public universities and two university systems Tuesday issued a 16-point pledge to accountability, collaboration and cooperation aimed at addressing the state's educational, social and economic needs and opportunities.
Speaking at a news conference held in the State Capitol's Rotunda, the education leaders unveiled their "Compact With the People of Arkansas." Addressed to the state's citizens and its political and education leaders, the Compact presents 16 goals intended to guide their individual and collective performance. Printed copies of the Compact were distributed Tuesday to state policymakers and to the news media.
"This compact represents our commitment to provide the people of Arkansas with quality higher education while being mindful of the great responsibility that comes with this task," said David Rankin, president of Southern Arkansas University, Magnolia. "By having all of the state's four-year public universities join together in this initiative, there is no doubt we will make tremendous strides in accomplishing these goals over the next several years."
The document's 16 pledges include:
Speaking at the news conference, G. David Gearhart, chancellor of the University of Arkansas, said institutions of higher education in the state must collaborate to provide an even better educated workforce and a more informed citizenry.
"Our public universities are the state's most influential social, economic, cultural and educational force," said Gearhart. "We, as the leaders of those institutions, must make sure that we demonstrate and communicate the ways we can, do and will serve the public's interests. That means we must work together, operate our universities in a productive and accountable manner, and be good stewards of state resources."
"The institutions of higher learning in Arkansas today have demonstrated their commitment to working toward Gov. Beebe's goal of doubling our number of certificate and degree holders in the next decade," added Shane Broadway, interim director of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education, who also participated in the news conference. "The staff at ADHE commends their efforts and will support their endeavors to bring about a new workforce with the knowledge and skills to better the economy and quality of life for all Arkansans."
Along with Rankin and Gearhart, others who signed the pledge included:
The presidents and chancellors of Arkansas' public universities gather in the State Capitol Rotunda to announce the "Compact with the People of Arkansas."
Enjoying the Arkansas lifestyle though, may be dependent on a good job. And a good job is dependent on getting into College.
Why the SAT Test Is Important for Getting into College
You may want to attend a college or university in Arkansas due to job opportunities and the many state parks. If you are in high school and you want to continue your education after high school, you are likely to take the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) test. A large majority of the colleges in the U.S.A. look at the SAT test scores as part of the admitting process.
You are more likely to get financial aid and scholarships with a high SAT score. High SAT score can also help you get into the Arkansas college or university of your choice. Colleges and universities have different majors, and some colleges and universities are better for specific majors.
While the SAT is important, and you can <a href="http://www.c2educate.com/">get information about SAT prep</a>, this is not the only information used by colleges to determine whether you get admitted. Colleges also look at your high school grade point average (GPA), recommendation letters, your academic transcript and other factors regarding admissions.
What to Expect on the Arkansas SAT Test
The SAT test takes three hours and 45 minutes, and it is broken up into ten sections. It has three critical reading sections, three writing sections, three mathematical sections, and an experimental section, which can be either critical reading, writing, or mathematical.
The critical reading sections are multiple-choice. One of the writing sections is an essay. The other two writing sections have multiple-choice questions. Two of the mathematics sections are in multiple-choice format. The other mathematics section has a combination of multiple-choice questions and questions requiring personal responses. The experimental section can be one of the three categories, and it is in multiple-choice format.
With this information, you have a general idea of what it is like to live and work in Arkansas. You also have some idea of what to expect when you take the SAT test and why the SAT test scores are so important for your career.]]>

ease forms for interns Heya everyone, I started a corporation in college plus recently graduated (Rutgers woohoo!! ). This company is taking out of and I'm getting interns. I determine what the form is usually, and how I must sendto be able to my intern, towards irs and continue to keepfor myself personally. However, can an individual walk me because of this? Where do you get the styles. I went for the irs website and downloaded everyof the forms there, although that confused people, because all that forms I saved said sample in it. Where do I actually get these sorts and etc. I know you are likely to ask, can My partner and i even classify a interns as ohydrates? Well, they work independent hours, they receive a fixed stipend and bonuses according to results. They will come to my office to be effective, but they could work at their personally own office too, so it is pretty much whole freedom. My lawyer explained that using the above information, there're independent contractors. Very best, Pavanspend a several hours with a really competent CPA that focuses primarily on small business taxation if you happen to haven't already, and it appears like you haven't Will probably be the best money you certainly will ever spend with your businessabsolutely You're totally right, and I'm definitely repeating this. But I simply want to talk to a business or anyone who has dealt with methods, before I visit and pay anyone to explain things if you ask me. Anyway, if anyone has any advice on how to perform forms for 3rd party contractor interns then I'd wish to hear it. It truly is simple.... you have to have your interns send in a W- just before they start. It is simply the formal solution to collect their SS#. it also lets them understand that anything they'll paid, they are responsible for (though if they can be students you could have to spell that out with them, but that's right now there problem). Then you can't send 's furniture cordova tn right until next January (and there can be quite a deadline around February. or so you have to send them by). During January you possibly can walk into virtually any major office supply store and purchase a pack involving forms. This pack may also include thecopy belonging to the form (I believe that it is, or, but double check) which you fill out for your own stating how substantially was paid to the independent contracts (your interns) you include as well as your own taxes to be able to deduct that amount being a write-off for ones own biz.

It Is Not Only About Me
When I first decided to search for my birth mom, I was conflicted about telling my adoptive parents. I started the search, and then one day I got a phone call from a Joan I had called earlier. My mom was sitting in our guest bedroom at the time, and saw me run upstairs after I answered the phone. I came downstairs, and my mom was concerned. She asked who was on the phone, because they way I ran upstairs, she thought it was bad news. I looked at her, and decided I would tell her the journey I had started on a couple months before. She looked at me, and her only response was, "Oh, ok." Now, my mother is one of those whose non verbal cues speak volumes. I knew she was… [more]
Natural Family Relationships
Many triad members will say that they were the closest to their new found family member the first day they were together. This day may be an entire day or evening together looking at pictures and discussing the family the adoptee was born into but never knew. As time goes on the natural mother may feel as if there is too much connected with relinquishing her child to adoption and for many natural mothers to difficult to face. This may result in a superficial relationship where cards are sent to one another several times a year. Some triad members have described their initial face to face as euphoric. Each reunion member may feel proud of the other and themselves. The good feelings many times… [more]

Frequently Asked Questions
About writing, the books, and the series:
Q. What is the reading order of the books?#1 Blood Destiny
#2 Blood Awakening
#3 Blood Possession
#4 Blood Shadows
#5 Blood Redemption
#6 Blood Father
#7 Blood Vengeance (not yet released)
Q. When will the next book be released?
The moment I have a firm release date, I post it everywhere, especially on social media. Unfortunately, I rarely have an exact date until 1-3 months out. If you would like to receive an email notification with each new releases (usually the same day the book comes out), please sign up for my mailing list. It's on the CONTACT page of this website. Thanks!
Q. How many books will there be in the series?
Oh, if I only knew! LOL
In all honesty, I rarely plan my stories or my books ~ I simply follow where the characters and stories lead. As long as there are fresh new stories waiting to be told, I'll probably continue. However, each book must have its own, unique theme, present a different take on the Curse, and inspire me to want to write it. Each character must have a full-length story that warrants a separate book. If I were guessing, I would probably say more than seven…but less than ten.
But that would just be a guess.
I have also entertained the possibility of a break-off series, perhaps utilizing the houses of Jadon & Jaegar, the celestial gods and dark lords, or the Romanian University. We'll see what the future holds.
Q. Do you have free ARCS or galleys available for review?
Sadly, I do not. In terms of pre-release titles, it just isn't feasible. In terms of already-released titles, it's an ethical concern: I try to avoid giving anything in exchange for a review in order to keep all opinions honest, ethical, and written from the heart (without the "appearance" of incentive or exchange.) However, I do host frequent giveaways & contests for readers, so be sure to check on Facebook and Twitter for announcements.
Q. What is Dark Fantasy, and how is it different from Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance?
In order to answer this question, I'm going to greatly over-simplify a couple of terms, so bear with me:
Romance: Boy meets girl. They overcome conflict; fall in love; and ultimately live happily ever after. The relationship is the driving theme of the book.
Horror: An evil being (monster, killer, bad-guy) preys on other characters who struggle to survive. Scaring the reader is the purpose of the book.
Paranormal: Something above and beyond what is normal. This could be the characters, the world, or the themes.
Fantasy: An alternate world, place, or time…something fantastical. Think "world-building."
"Urban Fantasy" ~ the story takes place in an urban environment.
"Dark Fantasy" ~ it explores the shadow nature of man, good vs. evil, and motivations of the soul.
By definition, Dark Fantasy is a sub-genre of horror, so the scenes will be more graphic, and the consequent emotions may be more intense.
The Blood Curse Series (BCS) is Dark Fantasy with strong romantic elements. Some might even consider it Gothic Romance (the same genre as Bram Stoker's Dracula). In other words, there are powerful, enduring relationships between the characters, but the world-building is the main theme: how the vampires live, the society they've created, and the Curse that rules both houses. Not only does BCS explore the shadow nature of man, as well as good vs. evil, but it relies upon a fantastical world and supernatural creatures to do so. All of the genres I've mentioned may utilize humor, suspense, and love as part of their story arcs ~ BCS does this as well.
Oh, and one last, critical difference between the genres is word-count. A "typical" PRN is between 80,000-90,000 words. A typical fantasy is between 105,000-115,000 words – world building takes time.☺
Q. Would you mind taking a look at my story or manuscript?
Unfortunately, I can't. Due to legal reasons and time constraints, it's just not a good idea. While I love meeting other authors – and I especially love connecting with other aspiring writers – I honestly don't feel as if I'm qualified to critique another's work. To that end, I would highly recommend a content editor or a writers' group: There are some incredibly talented folks out there who love to help writers build new careers. And they're really, really good at it!
Far better than me.☺
Q. Do you have any advice for writers?
First, believe in yourself and NEVER give up. There is no "one way" or "single formula" that works for all writers! Be yourself, and write from a place of passion or inspiration (as opposed to trying to cater to the "market.") Your reader will feel what you feel, so write the book you most want to read! And avoid negativity at all costs.
Next, recognize that writing is a "developed skill" (like playing the piano, learning how to build a house, or becoming a doctor) – regardless of how much natural talent one may have, it takes a LOT of hard work, dedication, and practice. Yes, there's a bit of luck involved as well, but learn all you can about the various elements of fiction: dialogue, characterization, POV, pacing, and grammar, etc. Read books on the various topics; take classes; and practice, practice, practice. All writers are constantly evolving, so start where you are…and work hard to get better. Oh, and take advantage of professional editors.
Seriously: do that.☺
Last, read everything you can get your hands on in the genre(s) that you love, and then write like a maniac. Never, ever stop.
Q. Are you working on anything else?
Yes, I am currently working on a Dragon Trilogy ~ no release date to announce as of yet. I would also love to try my hand at horror.

About Dark Moon Vale
Q. What is the house of Jadon?
Like "Caine & Abel," all male vampires ultimately come from one of two ancestors: Prince Jadon or Prince Jaegar. The house of Jadon refers to the descendants of Jadon. These vampires are predators by nature, but they do possess a conscience.
Q. What is the house of Jaegar? (The Dark Ones)
Like "Caine & Abel," all male vampires ultimately come from one of two ancestors: Prince Jadon or Prince Jaegar. The house of Jaegar refers to the descendants of Jaegar. These vampires are wholly evil and do not have destinies or a conscience.
Q. What is a destiny?
A human female chosen by the gods to be the mate of a male vampire.
Q. Does every male vampire have a twin?
No. All vampires are born as twins, however, one of the two, first-born sons must be sacrificed, leaving his brother alone.
Q. What are the four mercies?
When Prince Jadon & Prince Jaegar were cursed (the original Blood Curse), Prince Jadon begged for mercy and was given four special privileges:
- He could walk in the sun.
- He could avoid killing the innocent to survive.
- He could still claim a mate, although he would have only one-chance to do so.
- Only one of his first-born sons (twins) would be evil.
These mercies were extended to all of his descendants (the house of Jadon); however, they do not apply to the descendants of Prince Jaegar.

Q. What is a Blood Moon, and why does every vampire have a different one?
Much like the human body "houses" a soul, the male vampire "houses" a Celestial god or goddess, one who has chosen the vampire from birth (such as Cassiopeia, Andromeda, or Orion). The vampire belongs to that deity, and the deity chooses his mate.
When it is time for a vampire's mate to be revealed, his deity's Blood Moon appears in the heavens. Again, this only applies to the males from the house of Jadon.
