A pipeline emergency on Dream Island Road has spurred frustration and created headaches for nearby residents.
At its May 4 regular meeting, the Longboat Key Town Commission transferred $100,000 from its utility contingency fund to pay for the replacement of 150 feet of 8-inch, clay- and cast-iron wastewater pipeline under Dream Island Road that needed immediate attention.
Town Engineer Anne Ross said that without immediate attention, the pipe could have caused road failure or wastewater overflow.
The original, decaying pipeline was a victim of being surrounded by groundwater 13 feet from the road's surface.
"The problem is that in that area near Dream Island Road, you dig a hole and bay water keeps coming up," Ross said. "It's a challenging project for any contractor."
The challenge has led to more than six weeks of work, which Ross said is wrapping up this week.
The work has frustrated nearby Key residents Gertrud Schellenberger and Kathy Simonds.
Schellenberger, a Key resident since 1970, lives right next to the vacant lot at 588 Dream Island Road, which town staff received permission to use as its staging area for the project.
But Schellenberger might be second guessing her decision to sell the vacant lot years ago.
"It's very noisy and my whole house has been shaking for weeks," said Schellenberger, who also expressed environmental concerns about a diesel oil drum on site that was used to replace the pipeline.
"It's been a huge inconvenience and it gets tiring," Schellenberger said.
Kathy Simonds, who lives on Dream Island Road, is also fed up with the noise.
"It was supposed to be a two-week project that's lasted more than six weeks," Simonds said.
A 6-foot-wide- and more-than-100-foot-long section of the road was torn up to replace the pipe. And, when a tree needed to be removed to start the project, the road was shut down completely for a four-hour stretch.
Residents in the area have also complained of milky white water in their nearby water inlet at times and will have to deal with one more week of noise. The site is undergoing restoration cleanup, which includes the relocation of cable and phone wires and the repaving of Dream Island Road.
"We know it's noisy and we apologize for the inconvenience to our residents," Ross said. "We tried to work with the neighbors the best we can."

"Topeka HVAC"
I have been in the heating and cooling industry for almost 25 years and can't believe the reviews on this brand of equipment. If you look closely at the reviews you will see that it has been the company servicing them that is the problem not the manufacturer. There are a lot of hack company's out there and service men that don't give a hoot and this gives the good ones a bad name. Goodman has changed the design of there systems in the past five years to the better, they have great technical support, they have warrantied a noisy heat pump that was over 1 1/2 years old (paid us to change the unit) and there was no charge to the customer. The customer loves the unit now. Bottom line is: it is not the system that is the problem it is the service company's that are. Reading about a capacitor that blows up and this means that you need a new unit, B.S. With the record temperatures we have had capacitors have taken a beating this year. How about the lady who replaced 7 indoor coils, the service company can't find the correct problem. Could be airflow, blower speed set up, poor duct design: that company needs to move on to do something else. I hold Goodman feet to the fire when problems arise and they have always responded to take care of my customers. Like I said,it is not the equipment it is the company who installs and services the equipment that you are partnering with and if they can't take care of you and make it right they don't know what they are doing and it is time to find someone who can.

Wished I would have read these reviews before my technician talked me into this. Apparently I've actually had better luck than many. Ours died at 5 years and 2 months with a 5 years warranty. Pay the extra and stay clear of this brand. Repairs this season are close to $1000 and I'm still stuck with this crappy unit. Everything you've read is true!!!

"five years and the fan quit working"
The Goodman ac unit came installed in a new home. One year later it stopped blowing cool air, four years after that the fan broke. I am stuck paying $99.00 for diagnostic work and then additional $500.00 for repairs. Goodman is selling a product that they know is a piece of crap. Talk about unjust enrichment.

"Had an issue with the Goodman thermostat"
We bought our new house in December 2007 and had an issue with the Goodman thermostat before we even moved in. The house was freezing every time we went to look at the progress. The builder had the furnace/ac installer to the house at least five times before they finally realized that the thermostat computer panel was faulty. (The installer would put in a new fuse and soon after they left, the fuse would blow again) Last week my ac stopped working. After a $93 charge to access the problem, the "free" compressor was installed and I was charged $610 in labor and freon charges. After reading all the complaints, I see that this is not an isolated problem. How can this company still be in business? How do you file a class action suit?

"Goodman Unit Dead After 2 years... Do not buy!"
I replaced a 19 year old ac Unit and Air Handler with a Goodman Unit to keep up the expensive repairs. I immediately put a service contract on the unit and had it serviced 3 times a year. The ac was blowing hot I had freon pumped it lasted one day we found the coil had a leak a week later unit was blowing hot had the system checked the compressor was bad. I have several properties and have replaced units before but not this quick. We spent $2,000 fixing this two year old unit. Goodman will warranty parts I could deal with one part being bad but having the coil and compressor go bad in 2 years is unacceptable. Do not buy Goodman products.

"Goodman is Bad"
Two year old unit has had 10 service calls for various problems. Latest problem is the unit won't blow air colder than 78 degrees if the outside temperature is over 100 (all summer in Texas). Technicians say the freon levels and everything on the unit checks out and this condition is normal. Old, cheap unit this Goodman replaced didn't have a problem keeping house cool when it was 107 degrees. Replaced the old unit hoping for better energy efficiency. Not with a Goodman! Have sent complaints to Goodman website, their responses are basically "Oh, well, live with it". Never buy a Goodman.

"Quality isn't good"
I purchased a new Goodman unit in April, 2010. It worked okay the first summer. The heater worked okay last winter. However, this summer, the a/c repairman (a good friend of mine that's been in the business 27+ years) has been out 5 times. The 2nd time, we had to replace the compressor. This time (mid-August.), the coils are leaking freon and the dryer filters are clogged (he replaced them in June with the compressor). In his (and my) opinion, the entire unit is a lemon and needs to be replaced but Goodman won't do it. They want to continue throwing their inferior parts and my money at the problem. At least the parts are warranted for 10 years.

"Worst AC ever..."
Had condo built less than 6 years ago and had Goodman ac unit. It has been an issue from the first year. Endless repairs, service calls. Don't waste your time on this poor excuse of an ac unit. It's not like I bought an old home, so I'd expect the quality to be much higher for this product. The word "good" should not even be legal to be part of their name. This product is undoubtedly the worst one on the market. Very unhappy !!!

"Don't Buy"
Please do not buy this brand. I previously had an Amana and it was good for 13 years. I had it replaced with a Goodman (I wish I had read these reviews first). However this unit will not cool down the house in the afternoon. I have set the a/c for 78 degrees all is well until the afternoon when temperature outside is mid 90s. The temperature keeps rising in the house and is now around 84 degrees. The a/c man was here again this morning (unit is 1 week old) and says that there is nothing and suggested it was an insulation issue. I never had an "insulation problem" with my Amana. I am saving my money and will buy a better brand.

"Excellent deal on a Foreclosure"
Just purchased a foreclosed home that had a 4 year old Goodman ac unit, the home inspection told us that the ac unit needed service. The single mom that had owned the house never did yearly service and only changed the filter a couple times a year. The house was okay cool when we took ownership. I went ahead and had the unit serviced and the coils cleaned. He added some freon and oil, now Oh my God!!! The house has such low humidity now and we had it set at 68 degrees but the house is cold enough to hang meat. Looks like we got a good Goodman built on a good day. Happy we bought the house with this ac unit.

Katy Wallace, Biology student and soccer player, talks about the last few events wrapping up the spring 2013 semester. Student life is buzzing with excitement on the fields and in the classrooms as students get ready for graduation and summer break!
There's less than a month left in the semester and the weather is warming up. Everyone is talking about summer plans and what they'll be doing or where they'll be going after graduation. Finals are slowly creeping up, but before we know it, they'll be tomorrow!
There's a lot of studying to be done between now and then and it's all a matter of time management. After all, there are still intramural softball games to participate in, and tennis, softball, and baseball games to watch. Last week was Division III week so all of the athletic events offered free food and special activities in support of that.
At the end of the last week, Hootenanny, our annual talent show, happened in the Belcher Center. As one of the most anticipated events of the year, you'd just have to come experience it for yourself to truly understand the meaning of "Hootenanny". It's just another sign that the end of the semester is soon approaching and summer is right around the corner!
Watch Katy talk about Division III week here.
One of the many acts seen at Hootenanny this past weekend. You know you wish you were up there.
Another awesome event took place last week, Pray the Loop. This is where all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community are invited to cirlce the drive that "loops" around campus to pray for God's will for LETU.

About Me First Time Parent
Great with kidco freezer trays...you can mix food for meals, just pop out of the tray and into the feeding dish. Once defrosted the food could leak from one of the three sections into another if left on its side, which we had to do when we tried to stick it in our cooler bag for transort. The food did not leak out of the main container though.
works well, but costly

About Me Medical Professional, Parent of Two or More Children
would be better if they were a little bigger and cost a little less. This is good for infant but as the baby starts to eat bigger portions then they will out grow this bowl.Plus side is it's easy to wash and the daycare works love how they can microwave and then serve straight from the dish.
Love it!
By liladam's mom
from PA
This product is great for traveling, allowing me to take a variety of foods for my son without lugging three different items along. Good for prepared baby food or homemade. Great that it has its own spoon. I use it over and over again!
Not bad, not great
By Kim
from DC
I use it to warm up frozen cubes of food ... and I found that that it just barely fits one ice cube. In addition, it makes it hard to stir the food and causes some foods to heat much faster than others making it hard to feed my child. I typically mix cereal with the food, and this is too small to do that. It is durable, and easy to hold. For smaller babies who are still eating 2-4 ounces, I think it is a good idea.

WINNSBORO — There was an animal mix-up following the Winnsboro Christmas parade, one of stuffed animals, that is.
Amy Douglas of Kincaid Bridge Road loaned out several of her keepsake stuffed animals for use on the 4-H horse club Christmas parade float.
The day after the parade, Douglas and her children were going through the animals used on the parade float and realized that her Velveteen Rabbits, which are over 25 years old, and that her son and daughter's Yearly Christmas Bears from 2008 and 2009 were missing.
Douglas was surprised to read the Herald Independent "Sharing during the holiday season" and learn that the animals had been given away by an anonymous donor without her permission. She speculates that some of the stuffed animals must have fallen off the float during the parade and that it went unnoticed.
"Someone wanting to do a good deed must have found the animals and decided to give them away," Douglas said. "But these are cherished keepsakes, not gifts."
She was working while the parade was happening so she was not able to keep watch on the keepsakes.
If anyone knows who has these four stuffed animals, Douglas really hopes they can be returned to her family due to their sentimental value.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of these stuffed animals is asked to contact her at 815-0688.

May 18-Visit Your Relatives Day, International Museums Day Sunday, April 28, 2013 by Shelley Miles May Activiites
Museums are not only educational but visually stimulating and exciting. You can read many books to stir your child's imagination, but visiting a museum and actually seeing some of the wonders contained therein, is a learning experience that cannot be duplicated. If there's a children's museum nearby, you can be assured that all the exhibits will emphasize things kids love, from model airplanes and toys to phosphorescent rocks and dinosaurs. Many children's museums include interactive exhibits, so watch as your child becomes a part of the exhibit. Find Children's Museums in Kids-List. Search Community ResourcesMany Children's Museums offer a reciprocity program. Join one, and you can enjoy the benefits of membership at many others. Find the participating museums in your area: Children's Museums Catch up with loved ones nearby, bringing a gift that your child has made, a dessert the two of you have baked together, or a framed photo of your little one. If you don't have relatives living in your area, honor National Older Americans Month by visiting a retirement home. Call and check with the staff first to see when the best time to visit would be. The joy that children and the elderly can bring to each other is truly special!
May 19 - Circus Day, National Boating Safety Day, Dog Bite Prevention Sunday, April 28, 2013 by Shelley Miles May Activities, Boat, Circus, Pet Safety, Pets
Your child can be every performer under the big top on Circus Day! Set aside some time to play "circus," and let your child play different roles. He or she can be a clown by wearing a silly hat or wig, some make-up, and a funny outfit; a circus animal by jumping through a hula hoop; or an acrobat by jumping and tumbling. You have the important role of ringmaster, announcing your child's entrance as he or she plays each part. Encourage him or her to "ham it up"; and don't forget to give each performance a round of applause. National Boating Safety Day - Find a park rowboats can be rented. You can each take an oar and try steering the boat together. Most likely, you'll find yourself going round and round in circles. That's all part of the fun. (Make sure you're both wearing life jackets). You can also pretend you're explorers in an unknown wilderness. If there isn't a park near you, toy boats in a pool, wading pool or the bath-tub can almost be as much fun. Or, try this simple "soap-powered" cardboard boat.

May 27 - Cellophane Tape Day, Sunscreen Day Sunday, April 28, 2013 by Shelley Miles May Activities, Sunscreen
Today commemorates the invention of cellophane tape in 1930. I wonder how people wrapped gifts before its invention? When you are in a pinch,and need to keep a little one occupied for a few minutes, try giving them a piece of cellophane tape of about 4" long, attached to itself to form a loop with the sticky side out. The sticky texture will fascinate them.
It's sunny and beautiful outside. Make sure you protect your children with sunscreen. This video from HowDini shares tips on protecting childrens' skin.Putting on sunscreen doesn't need to be a battle. Try applying the sunscreen while telling a story (painting a picture, making an animal or clown face etc.) and be sure to rub in the sunscreen until it's full absorbed. Don't forget to reapply often.

I was wondeirng when that 2nd one would get up here.
The first comic is adorable :3
The second comic goes from heart-breakingly amazing to mood-whiplashy terrifying O_O Oh my God those eyes!
Wow that second comic man. Still waters do run deep.
Has anypony seen my jaw? Eye seemed to have lost it while reading the 2nd one~
Ok, whats going on... There are NEVER only 3 comments by the time I see a post...
Anyway, the first is cute, but the second... Will that ever bee a fanfic? If so, I'd definitely read that
Discord is Discord because he is... Discord...
second comic doesn't make sense.
Dear Equestria Daily, Today you have made my feel not once, but twice. Why must you toy with my manly emotions so.
#1: Um' apple jack shouldn't you let him carry the apples Only?
#2: HNNNG, must keep.. hatred.. for Discord.. remember.. Fluttershy!
Dammit, Crappyunicorn quit making me ship stuff! How the hell did you even know I love one-sided pairings? Now my muse won't let me be and it's all your fault. Humph!
the second one really resonates with me even if its a cliché its one that works with a good foundation and this really needs some anyone up for a Discord Origins fic?
Seth you forgot to link the second part of number 2: http://crappyunicorn.deviantart.com/art/monster-259288104 here it is for the viewers pleasure.
But honestly Those line Discord spoke when he first appeared is clearly a hint that something happened between him and Celestia, I kinda thought the same thing as this artist, just in a different way I wouldn't be surprised if part 2 told us Discord was Celestia first love or that they were friends before he embraced chaos. He might even be influenced by the same being that created Nightmare Moon out of Luna.
So is it the current Brony agenda to make everyone cry for one of the Villain's of the show? Man why does this community gotta be makin' everyone sad.
Since I'm sure more people here will read these comments than what the artist posted on DA, I'm going to copy that here, hoping to head off some potential drama:
"Just a comic doodle of a little idea I had after watching the first episode of the new season.
Inspired by Disqord's dialouge:
"Did you miss me, Celestia? I missed you..."
"Ohh... I've forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia... It's really quite... booorrring."
Not that I think Celestia is insensitive or mean, but sometimes the ignorance that comes with young age can lead to poor behavior.
Just to clear something up... I don't think that an incident like this would've "turned" him. He was already on his way to Evilsville. So Celestia rejecting him isn't his "origin story" or anything...
I figure he finally decided that, since he wasn't getting any positive attention, he'd settle for negative attention... which is when he discovered his one true love: Chaos"
I do have a discord origin fic idea, but I want to see episode 2 before setting in stone what my story would be, but It would be pretty much a how was he born, and what was his relation with the alicorns before turning evil. (I'm thinking somethign along the lines of being a chimaera that was created as a pet for the sisters, but as time passed he became sentient and even recognized them as sisters. Yet, being so different from ponies would have brought bullies to him and he would at some point grow jealous of his "sisters" getting all the positive attention while he was getting all the negative. anyway if someone can do it better than I can go ahead, because Im not that good a writer yet, I still need a lot of improvement.
That second comic is a two-parter, I think. And also very epic.
Actually, now that I've seen that second comic, I sorta wish I could delete my previous comment, or at least most of it...
I'm noticing a recent trend
There's a lot of sad stuff
@Monster Hunter Brony
sounds promising but im not to sure on celestia & luna creating him as a pet maybe something else like he was found in the deepest part of the forest, i guess everyone should wait for part 2
that second comic was so deep... i just feel so sorry for Discord... wow...
Loved the first
Like the second for what it is I guess, but I prefer Discord just being a straight up troll for evil's sake over scorned lover thing.
Discord should of been a black alicorn for that second comic to make any sense and fit properly
Second of the the second: http://crappyunicorn.deviantart.com/art/monster-259288104?q=sort%3Atime%20gallery%3Acrappyunicorn&qo=0
For those that dun notice it.
Quit making me feel sorry for Discord! I already have a weak spot for villains and you're making it worse! *breaks down sobbing*
Wow, the mood whiplash from those two comics hurt. How did we go from cute siblings to heartbreak in 32 words?
I really do hope Big Mac gets his own episode, or at least an episode where they explain how that family works. There is a lot of mysteries to the Apple family that need answers.
Lol at first one, second one is BS. You guys will ship anything...
It's not actually shipping at all. It's more so a scene to invoke emotion and a true meaning behind Discord's deeds.
I'm still of the opinion that Discord is Celestia's dad. Think about it order from chaos, primordial gods defeated by their children. Celestia is Zeus.
inb4 FF Dissidea crossover
Discord teams up with Chaos (rocky Relationship)
Cosmos teams up with Luna/Celestia (steady relationship)
I do wonder what sort of thing created Discord, Even from designs he looks kinda weird... It probably was pure Chaos, or, for pun, "Discord". But if it was something else...
first comic makes me HHHNNNGGG.
second one makes me HHHMMM.
You know, if Discord went all Big Bad because of unrequited love, I'm PRETTY SURE the first evil thing he'd do with those mind-control powers is....well....let's just say it rhymes with "tape".
Let's just say that Applejack has a vivid recollection of Apple Bloom's birth....
Hint, hint.
(lol MadMax did a comic about this)
It's the 21st century. You can't keep making the bad guys (and no-one else) black ffs...
Discord is at least nothing if not colourful. Probably a harlequin ref going on, which slots into general tricksterism.
I like both comics a lot, but I actually suspect that Discord is Celestia and Luna's father. He did rule Equestria before they did, after all. There is mythological precedent.
Also, it would be EVIL!
@Springtime BluesCelestia is Zeus? That certainly explains the messed up Celestia/Zeus-Luna/Hera shipping... freaky Greek dieties.
Hehe, poor AJ. Always trying to be so strong and tough. Big Mac is kinda cute with AJ's hat on. :P
The second comic... whoa. Things suddenly got deep and serious there. lol But poor Discord. :'(
The second one is interesting, but I don't think it really fits with Discord's established character. To me he seems a lot like a G rated version of TDK's interpretation of the Joker.
The second is told from Discord's point of view by Discord. I wouldn't really expect the god of chaos to be entirely fair and accurate in recounting something that happened well over a thousand years ago.
I'm sorry to say that while the second comic is really well done and manages to create strong imagery, it misses the characters IMO too much to make it believable within the context of their personalities.
To me Discord is something that isn't exactly like that pure evil, per-say. But more of an mischievous trickster who enjoys seeing, well, discord... The kind of "chess-player" baddie mentality who does not necessarily despise loss just knowing it's part of the game.
And secondly Discord again is (to me) the kind of bad guy who has existed even longer than Celestia with his mischiefs to have truly neutral personality. (Although I could be wrong with that one, it's somewhat unclear the way Celestia explains the history in the first ep.)
But that's just me, feel free to disagree.
I know Discord isn't the "evil" sort of villain, more of the trickster, but that second comic is still amazing.
All I saw in the second comic was Carrion and Boa. Abarat. My Little Pony. I want crossovers...
1. Big Mac does seem to old for that.
2. Discord doesn't love anyone. Also the second comic makes me sad.
Very good comics, both of them, but I found them to make a rather strange combination for being on the same post...
It made me go from happy so sad in...
(wait for it)
ten seconds flat!
@JaggoIt seems to be more of a want to give the villains backstory and explain why they may not be so bad. At least that is what 90% of Trixie fics do.
2 is very nice but I knew we would get alot of Discord x Celestia junk so let the flood gates bust
D'aaaw, AJ.
I'm looking forward to a backstory for Discord. However, I'll only read a fic, shipping or not, that has been well though out. Any Discord fanfictions that are released before two weeks after S2Ep2 should be tossed out.
I liked the second comic, even if it still manages to keep up the trend of making everything Celestia's fault.
I dunno, I kinda like the idea of Discord having been an evil tyrant to begin with, but he had a chance at redemption when he fell in love. Celestia, being young and hating Discord with a passion (likely for understandable reasons), opted instead for the violent solution instead and cast him into stone.
And yes Discord is a trickster, but I'd still say he's plenty evil- what he did to Pinkie Pie sealed that manner for me. If he was really in it just for the fun, he probably would have let the chaotic Pink Pony go- but no, he's got a mission. If nothing else, it's obvious he wants to dissassemble Celestia's nice and ordered society (perhaps TOO ordered, given how ponies control all of nature).
I very much like the idea of Celestia/Discord Foe Yay.
That second comic, reminds me of this really twisted comic I saw posted on /b/ back when I still went there.
It was about a young boy who is visited by death and shown the awful horrors of the future, and is tasked with stopping it, by causing an atrocity of his own to stop the greaters evils of the world from being unleashed. That boy grew up to be Hitler.
It was a strange, strange read, but the art style was very similar to #2 IIRC. Just a strange thing you see on the internet.
The second comic is... wow.
I mean wow.
While minimalistic, it tells the entire story of Discord, his relationship with Celestia while leaving enought to the imagination to be perfect.
Also, first draw of celestia is simply gorgeous. Seriously, it has so much more human silouette while not completely leaving her equine form, the way the shadows in her face and mane and the way is colored its become... a little unconfortabble, unless you are into those kind of things. Seriously, the best image of Celestia I had ever see in Equestria Daily.
10/10. Rock on.
Nightmare Moon gets to be the Hitler of Equestria.
Discord gets SaD'awwwwwww?
Evil NMM make me sad.
Evil Discord makes me ROFL.
This fandom makes me wonder.
@Draconaes: "The second is told from Discord's point of view by Discord. I wouldn't really expect the god of chaos to be entirely fair and accurate in recounting something that happened well over a thousand years ago."
This. 100% this.
Automatically started reading second comic in Discord's voice. Get to end, it is Discord. Me Gusta.
Oh. Discord. He be needing love. Oh please someone make a fic!!!
I like the second comic on a technical basis, but the way Celestia's portrayed suggests that she owed it to him to love him, which frankly makes me very uncomfortable.
I can see how you could get that vibe from it. Personally I didn't, and the two sequel pics do a good job of cementing that Discord is a villain through and through.
Oh btw here's a link to part 3 http://crappyunicorn.deviantart.com/art/hilarious-259431933
And my love for Discord grows more and more T____T
Seriously. He just went beyond BG ponies and is even starting to rival mane ponies level!
Dammit, the creepy balloon scene tormenting Pinkie Pie still upsets me... but now there's this. What complex emotion are you Equestrians trying to make me feel?!
Dude... page 3 is just... damn.
Y'know... given the fanon for Celly (trollestia, princess of pranks), is it really so surprising to see her and discord shipped?
Definitely like both of these comics, very different but awesome!
I think Sheogorath had a part in this. :P
Other then that, the two comics are incredibly well done. :D Can't wait to see more.
I don't like the fact that people are trying to turn Discord into a sympathetic villain, he's better as a irredeemable, trickster asshole. Pure and simple.
Sympathetic and irredeemable monster are not necessarily mutually exclusive imo. Even monsters have motivations and emotions.
Oh, now that is DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Love both of them!
Page 2 of the second comment has now given me nightmares... But it is so worth it!
Draconaes is correct. Sympathetic doesn't necessarily mean redeemable. Just because someone is pitiable doesn't excuse them for their crimes.
Fact! Text outline strokes, bevel effects and drop shadows exist for a reason... To create such a fine piece of art as that second piece, and then make the text so unreadable because it blends into the background art does it a grave injustice.
First comic was cute and the second...Aww Discord :(
And the more i read, Discord you crazy. Great comic.
omg the second comic was amazing! I think that is just epic!!
Ooh page four of the Deep. I'm liking this interpretation.
And I can't wait for it to be finished!
Is there a name for the #2 pairing? Discordia? Celesticord? Either way, I'm suprised it isn't more popular!
