Trish graduated from SUNY Oswego with degrees in Accounting + Economics. She worked at IBM, Quebecor World and GE Capital. She has her Six Sigma Black Belt specializing in analytics and productivity. She left Corporate America to focus on motherhood. Trish and Steve (her sweet husband of 20+ years) have three children and a fur-baby, a golden doodle named Zoey (yes! I am that person who tells my dog I'll be back soon when I leave the house!)
Trish has been interested in art since a child, when she attended art school and focused on painting . At an early age, she learned calligraphy and in college took classes in Fine Arts and Japanese (so she can learn the art of Kanji). Upon moving to Georgia 12 years ago, Trish has hosted ladies wine + craft nights in her basement with friends.
Trish supports and volunteers at various organizations including The Exchange, her children's schools, her neighborhood HOA, local civic and political groups, FOCO Young Life, Cure for Cam and Meals on Wheels.
Trish has always loved decorating, having a project, doing DIY crafts and helping friends + family with their design projects. She loves creating DIY for her home and making her family home a sanctuary. Through Pine + Pigment, she will extend her love for creativity by encouraging others to find their mix of inspiration + confidence as they complete a piece for their sanctuary.
Tracey graduated from University of Florida with a degree in Psychology, and then again from University of Miami with her Masters Degree in Physical Therapy. She worked in acute care and outpatient, but decided to leave health-care to become a full-time mom. Tracey has been married to her high school sweetheart for 25 years. They have four kiddos and a sweet, toothless Keeshond named Tebow (you guessed it….big-time Gator family!). Tracey is also a community volunteer, supporting her children's schools, Local School Council, local political and civic groups, The Exchange and meningioma research.
Life changed in an instant for Tracey, when she was diagnosed with a meningioma (a brain tumor) in 2011. Due to its location and size, the next few years consisted of six surgeries and endless trips to Johns Hopkins. Life changing was an understatement….but not in the way she expected. The love and support she and her family received from family, friends and the community was overwhelming.
A Pinterest-fanatic at the time, a friend (yes…it was Trish) pinned a quote: "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have". Tracey's recovery-mindset locked in, her positive quotes board was created and she visited it every single day! Her mantra to live positivity when faced with an obstacle was embraced. Through Pine + Pigment, she will share her positive quotes and her glass-half-full mentality with others.

Since 1956, the League of American Bicyclists, with the support of bicycle organizations throughout the United States, has proclaimed May as National Bike Month. It's interesting to consider the impact bicycling has had on our culture.
In the late 1800s, times were undergoing tremendous change. Inventions such as the telephone and the light bulb were poised to radically change America. Mechanized farming was revolutionizing agriculture. It's noteworthy that even with these modern inventions, 51% of all patent applications in 1899 were bicycle related – 49% were EVERYTHING ELSE combined. This is not surprising considering the importance transportation has in our culture. Some of the first automobile manufacturers, such as Ford, Rover, and Mercedes-Benz, started out with bicycles – the automobile was still years away. And these early bikes rolled on tires made by Dunlop and Michelin. The bicycle was the mother of inventions such as

Land Supply Research
"The rich have a thousand hectares of land while the poor have no place to stand."
Land development remains a controversial topic in society. This controversy is partly attributable to the closed and biased information provided by the government on land development. Without such information, Hong Kong lacks the prerequisite for an informed discussion on future development. Therefore, we published "Myth and Reality: Land Problem in Hong Kong" in 2013 to reveal that the land demand estimates made by the government are only an excuse for them to rationalise their preferred methods of land development. In the booklet, we provided data that reflects the real situation in order to help the public understand the current situation and discuss the topic in a more informed way.
In 2018, the government conducted a public consultation on land supply options. This triggered a heated debate on land supply and demand in the community. Through the publication of a number of research and consultation booklets, we pointed out that the official land demand estimates and information on various land supply options are biased. We also widened the scope of discussion on the development model and land allocation issues.
However, the 2018 Policy Address proposed the Lantau Tomorrow Vision project, which involves the creation of artificial islands with a total area of about 1,700 hectares through massive reclamation. This was announced despite public opposition and disregards the result of the public consultation conducted earlier in the year. The estimated cost of the project is huge, and may drain away most of Hong Kong's financial reserves. Furthermore, the land created in this project far exceeds the population and land demand projections. We are going to closely monitor the problems of the project, review the current state of land resources in Hong Kong, investigate land systems and development history, and propose alternatives to move Hong Kong towards a more open, just and sustainable land development model.
Smashed the myth that "Hong Kong has a huge population on very scarce land", and confirmed that the land problem in Hong Kong is caused by uneven distribution instead of inadequate supply
Discovered that there are over 1,000 hectares of brownfield sites and underused portions of government land in Hong Kong. These serve as strong supporting evidence in arguments against reclamation
Published and distributed over 10,000 Your Real Choice: Honest Consultation on Land Supply booklets to provide accurate land information to the community

Build up an open land database to break the monopoly of land information enjoyed by the government
Continue to monitor the development process and financial feasibility of infrastructure projects, as well as possible benefit transfers and the impact on the layout of Hong Kong and China of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision proposal
Investigate land development priorities, comparing which types of land should be developed first and which should be retained

We are encouraged to eat from the Tree of Life, rather than from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Essentially, we are invited to choose life over death. This shouldn't be a difficult choice, but it most definitely is. Why?
The world is run on judgement (right and wrong), and we are born into it. "Have an opinion" is the mantra of the 21st century. This mantra is very tempting because it appears to lift us up and put others down, satisfying our insecurity. The problem is, we usually judge people by "what" they do, blinding us from understanding "why" they do it. It is easy to judge the "what" that people do, and when we do, we are eating from the wrong tree, condemning them and ourselves. Our judgement brings us both down, and our judgement exposes the condition of our own hearts.
When we choose not to judge the "what", we open up the opportunity to discover "why" they do it. Choosing not to judge, can lead to an understanding of the state of the heart, leading to freedom for them and ourselves. Refusing to judge lifts us both up.
Refusing to judge is the narrow path that winds its way between the self-righteous and the self-condemned. This path cannot be walked without Spiritual help. It is convenient then that Jesus is the Tree of Life, and the fruit of the Spirit is what he offers when we choose not to judge. This fruit builds the Kingdom of God in the hearts of his people, where He resides. Let's set the "what" that people do free from our judgment, and ask for insight into the "why" of what people do. It just might set us free.

Merry Christmas!!! I hope its a safe, healthy and very fun christmas for you and everyone!!
Sabrina's not letting up! It's kind of hard to tell whether she's still in rage mode over what Marina told her, or if she realizes that she's in the ring with a ring vet like Xtina and has to keep the advantage. In either case, it's working well for her as Xtina can't get a breather to regroup and that hard suplex on the concrete isn't helping.
You'll notice the fans are supporting Sabrina now, but since both girls are fan favorites, you might see that changing back and forth throughout the match. Not really anything about the girls, more about the sometimes fickleness of the crowd. XD

Aarow Financial Group is your source for Life, Lengthy Time period Care & Disability Insurance Planning in NC. Lastly, with the above circumstance as well as assistant surgeon issues, you might find it worth your whereas to file a complaint against your doctor with the insurance company. For example, a 20-yr lowering term policy may begin with a $one hundred,000 dying profit that decreases by $5,000 per yr. Causes For Shopping for: In the event you work in a doubtlessly harmful setting (heavy equipment, distant location, etc…) or drive more than average (either professionally or as a commuter), an unintentional loss of life profit rider is likely to be a good suggestion.
Death benefit- Entire insurance policies provide savings and loss of life benefit to the policyholder. The first assure is the premium payment necessary to cover the cost of insurance coverage. Any organization that sponsors a gaggle life coverage should make it obtainable to all members of the group regardless of age or health standing. Life is meant to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, which means it can end up pretty much the way you see it turning out.
You can put the $a hundred,000 into a brokerage account in their title and hope for the very best or dump it right into a single premium GUL and have a tax free loss of life advantage of $332,350 dollars PER BABY GUARANTEED for your lifetime assuming you have been a 60 yr old non-smoking male with standard health! Therefore, the sale value for a viatical settlement, because it was previously identified, is often much greater than that of a life settlement.
With senior life insurance coverage it is usually advantageous as a result of the senior could wish to money out the policy and buy a better one. Not everyone gets the exact as the insurance policy says and my uncle is a kind of victims who simply acquired 10 {ac1439a55ff6f0c63b0dbd5cb00dd9ca60375dddd0179c4803efec636a584bf8} of the actual invoice quantity within the hospital however the policy which the corporate promised for was full Treatment costs including the Drug Costs !
As you may see, the difference of some proportion factors over a lifetime may end up in hundreds of dollars of further money for your retirement savings. See the worksheet Calculate the Goal Amount of Insurance to Offset AMT for an instance. If the beneficiary isn't the guardian of the kid, and you want the money to be saved for that little one to obtain at a later date, this needs to be discussed in full ahead of time and provisions made for when and how the money might be given to the child.

"We met Emily at a small bridal expo and within 5 mins of talking to her we knew she was the ONE! Emily is so personable, not to mention hilarious. It was such a pleasure working with her, our favorite vendor. She was so helpful with our personal vows and ended up creating the perfect ceremony for us. She listened to what we wanted and helped collaborate on parts we weren't sure about. I never had an issue getting in contact with her and the whole process was so easy, even with some last min edits to my vows the night before the wedding. After the wedding we had quite a few guests ask us where in the world we found her because she was absolutely fabulous. I couldn't have imagined a better celebrant for my wedding. She did an amazing job. We love her!"
/ wedding clients /
"Emily has an uncanny ability to hold space for others within her ceremonies, building and weaving together an experience that with great intention honors the paths of all people present".
/ goddess retreat client /
"Chris and I were grasping for straws for weeks to find the perfect officiant for our adventure elopement and time was seriously ticking until we were referred to Emily. She turned out to be more perfect than we could have ever dreamed. From the first conversation, Emily was so fun, energetic, and dedicated to making our dream ceremony come true. She was so patient with us and led us through every process, like determining the overall flow of the ceremony, researching on any traditional rituals, and writing our own vows. She also sent us a questionnaire and read through pages and PAGES of our answers to understand our love story and give the ceremony a personal voice. Honestly, we couldn't have dreamt of a better officiant--actually Emily totally personifies the title of "celebrant". She totally celebrated the heck out of our marriage. I can't recommend her enough to everybody out there. Thanks a million for making us cry thousands of feet up in the mountains <3"
/ Wedding Clients /
"The recent wedding of our son Joe and daughter-in-law Audrey was perfect in every way! The ceremony was a complete reflection of who they are as individuals and now as a newly married couple. It will be a wonderful memory for not just the families but all the friends who attended this celebration."
/ Mother of the Groom /
"Emily put together the most loving, thoughtful and personal ceremony to celebrate my recent transition to motherhood through adoption. She took great care to learn what I was looking for. It was absolutely perfect and I am so grateful that I will always have such a special night to look back on."

The O'My's Break Through to Tomorrow
Written by Ray Mestad • Photos by Michael Salisbury
The O'My's are, at this point, an institution of the Chicago Music Renaissance. Artists and trends have come and gone, but the O'My's remain. Their longevity has made them a staple of the local scene. Having just released their Tomorrow album, the most conspicuous talking point surrounding the drop has been their tumultuous 3 year journey with the project. Thankfully, mistakes present opportunity - humble and constantly learning, the O'My's are able to navigate yesterday's struggles to uncover today's values and tomorrow's promises.
Maceo Haymes (guitar and vocals) and Nick Hennessey (keys and backing vocals) linked after high school and have been creating ever since, about 10 years now. Today, the rest of the frequently rotating band also includes Boyang Matsapola, Eric Mateo, and Eddie Burns. Their relevance has always been high for those in the know and they have flirted with mainstream success over the years.
After releasing Potty Mouth, Chicago Style, A Humble Masterpiece, and Keeping the Faith, the road to Tomorrow began. The project arrived on September 7th, after 3 years in the cooker. In that time, few shows were performed, the band rotated, their profile shrank, their writing process stalled. Yet, it was in those difficulties where they became closer to the artists and people they wanted to be - through the experience of their struggle emerged the clarity of what they hold dear and value most.
Yesterday, The O'My's were Grappling with Tomorrow
"Ideally, struggle breeds growth. Sometimes it might swallow you up, and that might stifle it, I don't think it's really that possible to grow without it. I generally see struggle as the first step to growth. Without that there's not much to write about, or look back and reflect on, and work towards." Today, with the album officially released, they can point to growth and a happy ending. But while they were in it, the going was rough.
Difficulty struck almost immediately when Maceo lost his voice as they began creating the project. Practically and symbolically, the experience was devastating. In a city of unique artists, Maceo's voice stands out, uncommon among the uncommon. In person, it's soft yet direct. On track its elasticity amazes, effortlessly stretching from baritone to falsetto. Maceo describes losing it for 3 months as "traumatizing".
When Maceo's voice came back the O'My's encountered another problem - writing the music. Initially shaking up their process, Nick and Maceo had ditched the tried-and-true method of writing hook then verse in favor of something more experimental. Intending to explore new sounds, they would start jamming, hit record, and leave it on until they were finished. Recording stalled when they found they couldn't go from radiant sound to completed song as easily as they expected. "The process, which was kind of ass-backwards compared to how we've always done things. We'll generally start with the song's chorus. In this one we just decided to make a bunch of sounds, Nick and I. They sounded cool, but then we were like - what do we do with these? That's where the work started, and where we got lost, and eventually found our way back."
After 6 years of living together Nick and Maceo moved out as roommates. The move, they felt, was necessary. "We all have the same friends, and there was never escaping all of our friends. Whatever day I wanted to just chill and have a day off from people, was the day he felt like turning up...And vice versa! Personal time...just wasn't a thing for us for 6 years." New independence meant a new level of self-reflection that wasn't easy. It wasn't just a move, it was a new lifestyle. No longer could they wake up and jam. Now creating involved planning ahead, transporting gear, making schedules. Nick explains that the move came "at risk of actually feeling like work at certain points. You have to be, as opposed to being 100% fluid…"
The O'My's were experiencing growing pains: How to handle loss, change, discomfort. They got through these difficulties the way we all do - leaning on their values, what we hold important and prioritize. Value was actually the original title of Tomorrow, and that theme remains in the project as it is today. Adversity puts us under a microscope and clarifies the things we hold dear. So these challenges the O'My's faced proved necessary, actually benefiting the completion of Tomorrow and in their own lives.
Tomorrow and Values
Tomorrow puts the O'My's cards on the table, exploring the values they hold dear, where they fall short and what they're humble enough to work on. People are at the center. The cornerstone of Tomorrow is an intro off of the second to last track "Walkout" - a recorded phone call with Maceo's Grandmother. She recalls their family's relationship with music, a tool to stay connected, sharing intimate moments with those closest.
"I decided to use that space to call my grandmother, who was really the first person that I saw sing in my life, her and her sister and my grandfather. Me and all the grandchildren were in Virginia, and it was the first time I saw music not on the radio, but something used in daily life to share joy and experience together, build bonds and give some sort of love. That always stuck with me."
Her words tell a simple, beautiful story - "We sang together quite often. It just wasn't on Sunday but thats when we got together as a family. And we all participated doing something together. We would just have like a second service. Somebody would pray, somebody speak, somebody would sing and just have a good time. We enjoyed that, family time together."
Tomorrow is fascinated by interpersonal relationships, whether paying respect or expressing regret. Bitter sweet 'Starship', "Nina Fresa" and "Baskets" take people for granted, victims of discontent (on "Baskets", nailing the refrain that "You want a rock sweeter than honey…"). Inner life is also explored, most notably by "Idea", where Maceo and Chance The Rapper put faith into words.
"We knew it was either going to be a Chance verse, or just my vocals. He was the only person that could deliver and connect to the narrative in that way. We knew he could do it, because he's that raw." Nick puts it even more simply - "the song didn't need a rapper, it just needed Chance."
Throughout Tomorrow, Nick and Maceo tap into the values that define who they are. "The things that are central are people, and more particularly, family. Family being blood family and chosen family. Those connections, maintaining them and putting love into them, the joy you get reciprocating them, those are at the highest value. Then other things, like responsibility and justice and struggle, relationships…"
In the background of Tomorrow is Nick and Maceo's push towards independence, meeting their own expectations. "Another thing I was aware of falling short of was also just my own work. What I expect from myself. That was really what a lot of this project was about...pushing ourselves to really be accountable to what we're trying to do and the music we're trying to make. Be a little more intentional. When we were living together, it wasn't intentional, it was just happening and we we're making shit. If it's sounded cool, we liked it. It's a lot easier, especially trying to figure out how to live in the world, if you have a grasp and what you want to be and how far you are away from it."
Values Going Forward
Tomorrow is here, and the lessons they've received over the last few years can guide them for years to come, if they choose. In their personal lives, they're learning to truly respect valued relationships. "Friendships, relationships, just life. You can't have time for everybody in your life, so figuring out how to do that is difficult. Of course, that's also part of what being human is...valuing those precious moments you spend with other people, where you have connections that you can't make them again - they belong to those moments. Valuing those moments gives you a lot more perspective on what's important."
Appreciating their talents, respecting their gifts. For Maceo, part of this was losing his voice. "I learned to respect it, appreciate it and not take it for granted. That taught me to take care of it better, and reintroduced me to my voice, myself...getting to know that part of yourself again is something I hadn't done since high school." There's also the aspect of honoring his voice figuratively, and not "falling short of...my own work. What I expect from myself. That was really what a lot of this project was about...pushing ourselves to really be accountable to what we're trying to do and the music we're trying to make. Be a little more intentional."
Their newfound independence allowed them to both work on developing voices of their own, making for songwriting on Tomorrow (lyrically, musically) that was stronger than ever. "When we were living together, it wasn't intentional, it was just happening and we we're making shit. If it's sounded cool, we liked it. It's a lot easier, especially trying to figure out how to live in the world, if you have a grasp and what you want to be and how far you are away from it."
Change meant growth, "the growth as people, that comes from moving on from a period of life that's your 20's...the majority of our 20's, the early / college years, were spent in a house together. It was something that was lifted from us both, getting out of that bachelor pad situation that causes you to the next step of growth as individuals. Us developing our own lives and homes."
Now Tomorrow is out, a long journey ends and the next begins. Breathing a sigh of relief, Nick is able to keep it all in perspective, bringing it back to the community that makes what they do possible."I've been feeling very very grateful this last week. I try to always remain grateful, I think we both have so many people in our corner and we have as the band for so long, that it's just - it's been a good week. Getting to enjoy it with all those people was a good couple days right there."

The South African Rugby Union have announced that a proposal to expand the Currie Cup Premier Division to eight teams in 2014 was rejected by a Special General Council meeting of South African Rugby Union provinces in Johannesburg on Monday.
A second proposal which was dependent on the success of the first proposal was that the Lions be entrenched in Super Rugby for the next two years therefore fell away.
As a result, the status quo remains and the team that finishes top of the Currie Cup First Division log in 2013 will play the last-placed team in the Premier Division for the chance of promotion to the 2014 Premier Division.

Laudato Si
is a formal message addressed to all the church and to people everywhere
It carries the highest status of all papal communications that of an Encyclical.
It addresses issues of our care for our common home - "the Earth"
and presents them from the perspective of the Christian faith.
Key Points:
1) The discussion on the environment has a spiritual dimension.
The language of faith enters the discussion—clearly, decisively and systematically.
The teachings of predecessors are catalogued
Invites believers into the dialogue and provides fresh insights for those already involved.
2) The poor are disproportionately affected by climate change.
Many examples of the effects of climate change, whose "worse impacts" are felt by those living in the developing countries
Gospels, Catholic social teaching and statements of recent popes critique the exclusion of anyone from the benefits of the goods of creation.
3) Less is more.
Market forces cannot be allowed free rein without considering their impact
All technological, scientific or industrial advances require consideration of their impact both on environment and on human beings
Some areas must accept decreased growth to permit other places to experience healthy growth"
Christian spirituality offers a growth marked by "moderation and the capacity to be happy with little":in contrast with the consumerist mindset
4) Catholic social teaching now includes teaching on the environment.
From capital and labour(1891) to today's the idea of the "common good"
Synergy of the church's theology with the findings of experts in a variety of fields, to reflect on modern-day problems.
5) Discussions about ecology can be grounded in the Bible and church tradition.
"The Gospel of Creation" called to "till and keep" the earth.
Too much tilling and not enough keeping. A biblical review
Dual approach to non believers and believers to care for nature and the environment.
6) Everything is connected—including the economy.
"We are part of nature, included in it, and thus in constant interaction with it" whatever market mechanism we use.
Decisions, particularly about production and consumption, have an inevitable effect on the environment.
A heedless pursuit of money that sets aside the interests of the marginalized and leads to the ruination of the planet are not unconnected. "Profit cannot be the sole criterion" of our decisions.
7) Scientific research on the environment is to be praised and used.
Accepts the "best scientific research available today"
The rain forests, glaciers and aquifers are known to be important for the equilibrium of the earth. Study change and especially its effect on the poor.
indifference and selfishness worsen
environmental problems.
Strongest criticism for the wealthy who ignore the problem of climate.
Selfishness also leads to the evaporation of the notion of the common good.
Need an "urban ecology."
9) Global dialogue and solidarity are needed.
Insights of some eleven bishops' conferences.
Need dialogue and global debate with "all people" about our "common home" because there are "no uniform recipes."
10) A change of heart is required
In the face an urgent crisis, since God is with us, we can strive both individually and corporately to change course in a "bold cultural revolution"
We can awaken our hearts and move towards an "ecological conversion" in which we see the intimate connection between God and all beings, and more readily listen to the "cry of the earth and the cry of the poor"
The document was published on 24 May 2015, the feast of Pentecost,
and has raised considerable interest both within and outside the catholic church,
both favourable and critical.

Your favourite / least favourite accents
1. Mid-western American
2. Irish brogue
3. Dulcet Scots
4. Perky Geordie
I tried to come up with some bad accents, but I think I like all accents. Maybe because I'm essentially accentless, I seek it out in others.
``because I'm essentially accentless, I seek it out in others.``
Tell me this is a joke.
I couldn't list them all
especially not in order.
Massive fan of the accent. Massive.joeymahone this'd this
Top three:
1) Cork/southern irish
2) Bolton
3) Mellowed Scot, probably relocated to Berkshire.
The bottom of every list should be female brummie
I used to hate most accents... i.e. not southern English.
No I like them all pretty much. Diversity is a wonderful thing. American accents can be annoying depending on way the person speaks.... but they can be sumptuous too - see Morgan Freeman and a million others.
Seeing as how I don't have one,
every accent blows. Least favourite = Gutteral Scouse, or DUDLAAAAAY, or cockney/Essex WASSAMATTTAAAAAA?
He does have one
^I just said that in his accent. I realise you can't hear me.
You have that nice Southern with background twangs accent.
It's a bit generic I think.
I have flat northern As though.
I might give up on the whole talking lark.
1. geordie
2. dutchsh yesh?
3. cockney
4. liverpool
5. jamaican
1. brummie
2. sith ifrikaan.
3. australian
actually fuick it, you can have good and bad of all of the above.Royter-Hatfood this'd this
Did you deliberately spell
fuck in a South African accent there?
South Africa / New Zealand
Are bad. I work in IT, all the annoying, snippy know-t-all cunts are SA/NZ.
Scouse has two divisions
Beatles Scouse = Great
Steve Gerrard Scouse = Bad.
My ex was the former
his brothers were the latter
I loved both.
I think I ended up with him because of Brookside.
- Smyth2, licky_kicky, and spiritofjazz this'd this
I think I prefer a softer, southern Irish accent. Ulster can be a bit harsh sometimes?
I might mean that as well actually
Who knows anymore? I've stopped pretending either of them are separate countries these days.
Good to know.
I hate our accent to be honest.
Hear them down in Soho square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?
Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse,
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
Chickens cackling in a barn Just like this one!
Eliza Garn! Henry I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir, Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too.
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other
Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to set
A good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely
disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their
Greek. In France every Frenchman knows
his language fro "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually,
as long as they pronounce in properly.
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
And Hebrews learn it backwards,
which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English,
Why can't the English learn to speak?hip_young_gunslinger this'd this

East coast/Fifeish accents can do one
Sing-songy nonsense and overuse of "ken".xheathenx this'd this
We can all agree that a Scouse accent is the worst sound on the planet right?

(I stand by my previous comment)
Best: Sarthern American accent
Worst: Plymouth. The Wurzels without the warmth.
- French
- Italian
- Scottish
^all hot on men
The Italian accent is quite funny
It's the only one that makes "fucked" into a 3 syllable word.
French. Yes.
Even an English person speaking French, apparently.
I reckon I can do BRILLIANT French and Scottish accents
Will doing one of them all of the time guarantee me a broad?
A broad what?
You know, a broad!
A dame! A piece of tail! A floozy! A bit of skirt!
Geordies- very much yes.
In my last job I definitely picked up a Geordie twang.
Brazilian's talking English <3
Best: Used to think Irish but now I live with them have started to adopt some kind of minor welsh/Irish lilt
Worst by far: Birmingham for me. Or Dudley.
I LOVE the Northern accent though.
Annoys the hell out of. (I don't understand this? I don't have any hell in me that I'm aware of)
Lot of hate for mspennie's accent in this thread.
And rightly so.
Very specific.
^Indier than thou.
My accent is a beautiful mix of three of those.
Any accent
as long as it's funny.
Northern Irish and Irish can be good. I like most accents really.
Even though I have a pretty strong West of Scotland accent I find myself picking up other accents disturbingly easy. Especially when I hang around with my brother who has been living down near Milton Keynes for over 20 years and has this weird mish mash of an accent.
With English people I do end up picking up bits and pieces of their accent and sometimes they think I'm taking the pish but I'm totally not. Subconscious.
Fav - Norn Iron
Least fav - posh rah twat
There's a female Colombian security officer at work
- I could listen to her talk all day. She sounds just like whatsherface off Modern Family <3
That and Northern Irish are definitely my favourites.
Faves: Northern Irish
Southern American- I was properly enraptured by some Alabaman on a train recently. I'd only ever heard that accent in films before. It was EXACTLY like Forrest Gump.
Least faves:
Serf Iffrican
The collective accent of Man Utd fans singing, specifically when they sing "Same old Arsenal..."
Southern England Commoner
Inner city London kids
Are there any celebs with a Brazillian accent?
I can't think what it sounds like.
It is one of my faves.
One of our main offices was in Rio. Loved those guys.
Really sonorous West Indian accents are awesome
like the guy from EastEnders or that cricket commentator whose name I don't know 'cause I don't really like cricket.
My Aunt Rose has an awesome accent too, she was brought up in Glasgow then moved to Mississippi when she was 20 or so. It's a good combo, as the Scots accent seems pretty impervious despite how long you've lived away from there (my Dad's was still ridiculously strong despite moving to England at 18) and the Southern US accent is also ridiculously strong so they're all mixed in together in strange and unexpected ways.
Least favourite is the twocker/charver accent, favoured by reprobates and fuckwits across the Tees Valley area. "Fuckin' well aye, ding!" and all that nonsense.
I was inexplicably watching one of those ULTRACOP BASTARDS reality type shows the other day set in Wales. All of those criminals sounded absolutely adorable.
- Antpocalypsenow this'd this
Because South Walian's don't speak Welsh right...?
Cer i ware gyda gotsen dy fam-gu
I like the Welsh accent
but there is no denying it's comedy value.
- Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
my accent's getting quite dodgy
I'm from Glasgow. But I get mistaken for Irish A LOT. and canadian. and edinburgh. I talk a lot more like a Finn now too (which is monotone). Varies a lot. the canadian aspect worries me the most. I have a cold right now so I sound like a posh scottish child. Basically, I hate my accent. It's the worst.
Best accent is proper Mancunian. Whenever I'm about to speak in public, I wish I had that accent.
The canadian thing will be due to the similarities in how scots and canadians pronounce
house and about.
canadians sound like folk from Lewis who've lived in Glasgow for a few years.
dunno about this
i think i just hung around too many international students. a guy from washington recently asked me which state i'm from :(((((
I think I do that INCREDIBly embarassing thing where I copy the accent of the person I'm talking to.
I hate it when people say
"I don't have an accent." Yes you do, you probably have a Southern/slightly posh one.Icarus-Smicarus and xheathenx this'd this
slightly posh = slightly nasal
let's not get classist.
I hate Australian accents I really, really do. More than I hate other things which are more deserving of hate.
does lucien have a nz accent?
i hope so.
Me too
I wish I had a NZ accent
Australian accents are too hilarious to hate
When I was over there I heard an Australian man say "vagina", and it sounded exactly like when Russell Crowe says it in Fightin' Round the World. Ver-JOY-na.
I hate Australian accents as well
But then again I also hate Australian people so that's not all that surprising.
I really hate my own accent
I think it makes me sound snide.
-Welsh, especially female
-African-American Mississippi Patois
-Soft southern american, aka Bill Clinton
-Anyone trying to sound posher/more working class than they really are, especially teenagers

I find Newport fascinating
It can take a little while to identify, but it is basically Cardiff with added west-country twang on specific words.
Wish people wouldnt say "I don't have an accent"
as if RP is the norm from which every regional accent is a quirky variationDarwinDude and Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
I say that because I've spent roughly equal parts of my life living in East Yorkshire, South Wales, Cambridge/Essex,
with parents from Staffordshire. My accent is such a hopeless mix of all these I think it's functionally accentless. If it was RP, I'd say.
I dunno
my parents are from Fife and Wigtonshire and I don't have those accents (thankfully). I think you can go by where you sound like you're from to other people
I dunno
I think the way you speak is always "put on" to a certain extent. I speak differently when I'm talking to my family than when I talk with my friends. That includes vocabulary, accent, everything. I don't think you can pretend that the way you speak is a totally accidental and unconcious thing.
Kind of why I despise people with a completely over the top posh accent.
Sort of admire them for not giving a shit but at the same time it shows that
1. They are so clueless that they don't realise their accent implies a certain status/superiority thing and that they should probably 'tone it down' a bit
2. they do realise this but actually don't care
Completely agree.
My bandmates always used to take the piss out of me for how I answered the phone/spoke to my Dad when we were on tour.
Yeah my accent's gone a bit funny
but goes back to normal around my family. And people I've just met. Which is unfortunate cos the way I talk around friends is much more confident sounding.
Least favourite
Most favourite
Isle of Lewis
Southern Irish
Southern French speaking bad english. (probably more to do with the people who were talking than the accent)
dundee, aberdeen
Horrible accents. Pretty much unitelligible, and that's coming from someone who grew up in Fife.
Glasgow. It's the nasal, whiny aggressive edge that makes me not want to listen.
Fuck that noise. It's like having someone grate aluminium next to your lugholes.
Yep, I agree
Lived there for about 5 or 6 years, was happy to move away.
Cannot stand the Essex accent
spent a year in Harlow and I was just about ready to rip my ears off.
Although Harlow is in Essex,
most of the people there speak with more of a north London accent (in fact, if you ask people from Harlow where they live, a lot of them still say, 'Harlow, North London'), as that's where most of the population originated.
The stereotypical, whiny, Essex accents come from places like Romford/Hornchurch, and the more guttural estuary accent from places like Grays/Basildon.
well, whatever they were speaking there, it was horrible and piercing.
I don't know actually.
I don't think my accent is THAT whiny though but its only because I have quite a deep manly voice.
My accent is a mix of several, but largely essex/estuary English,
having spent the first ten years of my life growing up in Standford-Le-(no)-Hope.
Don't worry, everyone thinks I'm from Essex
Which is infinitely worse when you're from Kent.
- EverythingsFineGuy this'd this
I like most accents and wouldn't say I disliked any.
Not any more, anyway. I do dislike annoying people talking though.
The way they pronounce even their own ethnicity. 'South If-ri-kin'. And kiwis with their 'pins' (pens) and 'pincils'. Makes me laugh every time.
Don't understand the Australian accent hate though. I think people here are referring to the broad Australian accent rather than the 'cultivated' Australian accent. I'm from Canberra (the pompous capital of Australia) and I can safely say the news presenter sounds proper posh BUT she probably sounds like a bogan since most of ya'll are proper Englishmen/women.
Hey it's a good word!
They're the Australian equivalent of 'chavs'. Well at least I think they are...
Na, they're hard to explain
The biker type guys I'd just call 'Aussies'. All for the Southern Cross and everything. They're pretty cool, I worked with 3 of them in a butchery and they're good honest blokes. Just google 'stuff bogans like' and you'll see what I mean.
I haven't used the word 'feral' to describe an Australian
Since about year 5. I lived in the Northern Territory for 7 years though. Wasn't uncommon for myself to say 'awww, that's gammon!' - implying bullshit. Feral just a derrogitory word really, 'aw that off-milk smells feral' kind of thing.
Love the Mancunian accent.
Admittedly this may have something to do with going through puberty when those Boddingtons ads featuring Melanie Sykes were on the telly.
Any accent that isn't southern english or australian or south african
is great. Preferably north english/scottish/irish ones though.
actually the most disappointing thing is when someone comes from the north/scotland
but is posh.
All I want is for you to have a proper accent, is that too much to ask?
i know they shouldn't be
but manc accents are really sexy. does anyone agree with me?
not on women.
I didn't know girls liked it, I should get me an accent.
I've never heard anyone else saying they like it
but what's not to like.. It's so beautiful.
lol no
seriously it's the best accent. there's a guy who works in the undergraduate admin office and i don't even know what he looks like but i love him over the phone.
sounds like we've had phone sex
we totally haven't done that.
now it sounds like I...
no, haven't done that either.
Stop phone perving.DarwinDude this'd this
it's a bizarre mix of american and scandinavian
Is generic south/south east classed as estuary?
Mainly only hear it on Road Wars, but just a little bit of that is enough to put the shit right back up me.
black country
french inflections
southern american on non-republican girls
broad manc
south african
broad aussie
everyone is so wrong about broad manc
i like brummies too i think. actually - any really strong non-scottish accent is really good.
south manc is fine.
north manc isnt.
I don't think I know the difference
I guess it's definitely south manc I fancy. Is north more like salford?
F U son
faves on girlz
- southern california

worst on everyone
- Hull / broad north yorkshire (pronouncing 'I don't know' as 'I durnt knur.') <- all time worst most hated
- brummie
- northern irish
- salford (or more specifically, United fans from Salford)
Hull is a very distinctive east Yorkshire accent (where they do I durnt knuuuur.)
It's quite different from the classic North Yorkshire accent of the Brontes/Heartbeat/Last of the Summer Wine.
east yorkshire then
I don't know much about that part of the world.
The Heartbeat accent is fine by me, even though the only one who sounded local on it was Green Grass shirley?
I remember a few of the old folk in it having typical Yorkshire accents.
The one I always associate with cricketers, all 'goin' t'pub' (but the T isn't sounded, it's just implied.
people do that round here. the last time i heard the word 'the' in burnley was about 1993.
I've grown quite affectionate of the Bristolian accent
and when I speak for a long time my voice morphs into it, otherwise I have an awful, quite clipped English one.
I love Glaswegian accents, they're the kind I could just sit and listen to, and most Irish ones are pretty great.
I wish I had an cool accent

Took a while, but Harold Simmons finally got the nasty bang for the $2.9 million bucks he spent on those ads linking Barack Obama to William Ayers. Isn't that right, Governor Palin? You betcha. And, as evidenced by The Daily Show only last night, former KXAS-Channel 5 weekend anchor-turned-FOX talking head Gretchen Carlson can't stop talking about it either.

Which may be why, two months after the Obama campaign sent the Department of Justice a letter demanding a criminal investigation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog group called Democracy 21 has gone to the Federal Election Commission and the Internal Revenue Service calling for, like, another investigation into the American Issues Project. Which, notes The Wall Street Journal, ain't gonna amount to squat: "Such complaints can take years to investigate, so action before the Nov. 4 election is unlikely." --Robert Wilonsky

Cruise ship mafia
Note: the Ship used in this is based off of the royal Caribbean cruise liner "Freedom of the Seas"
14 People
The Baddies:
The Prisoners: Escaped from custody on a luxury cruise liner.
The Framer: Gets the ability that of the person killed by the prisoners the night before.
The Threatener: Can send a message every night which will be posted in the night post. When the Threatener is killed, his role is revealed.
The Techie: Stole a computer and hacked onto the cruise registry. Any night, but not 2 in a row, can see the faction (Innocent/Terrorist) of a player.
The Hitman - Kills anyone that visits him/her at night
Terrorist: kills on even nights. Once The S.W.A.T dies, he is out of the game. Invincible for the first night and day. Goal is to kill the S.W.A.T Agent
The Innocents:
(2)The Nurses: Picks a target to save each night. Cannot pick the same target to save twice in a row. Can save self only once. Have a 50/50 chance of getting BTSC at the begining, other wise must save the same person, or save the other.
Stage Magician: A true magician who passes as an entertainer. The SM can make a powerful illusion to save someone each night from the terrorist only.
Misson Handler: The person who helps the SA keep updated. As long as the MH is alive, The SA cannot be killed at night.
S.W.A.T (SA): A Expert in his field who kills for the Innocents. He kills on prime nights. Can not be killed at night while MH is alive
The Minor Hacker: A minor Thief who breaks into staterooms for fun. PMs me the name of a player each day and I PM their role.
Room Cleaner: After years of Cleaning rooms and seeing the ongoing of the cruise, he has learned the . The cleaner picks a player and then I tell them what the action is(cleaning, killing, saving, spy, role manipulation, or previous choice) to which they can either decline or carry out the action. Role manipulation is when the janitor chooses a role and chooses his own targets, and the person with the role is unable to use their ability
Registry Worker: The RW PMs me the name of a person and that person is removed from voting for the day, The RW also has a ¼ chance of finding out that persons role
The Prison Guard: arrests a person for one night (must PM me the player's name before the day post). The Person is stuck and can only 5 messages while in jail. They may not use any day or night power while in prison, but they have a 50/50 chance of safety if they are attacked and saved (or else they get gang beat and stay in the hospital for another day)
>Nights and days are based real time in central time. Night one will start Friday 8:00 Central time, and will end when ever P.M.s are in, latest being 8:00 A.M. Days are until 8:00 P.M. every day
> If someone didn't participate in lynching(the act of throwing overboard) , they will be asked to be replaced, if no replacement is found, then they will be killed the second lynching that they are not active in.
> When you die, you have two 'ghost-post' in gray to make, but it CANNOT reveal any information or hint at anything or relate to the game, it must be entirely off-topic
> Nonsense posters will be warned and then punished Don't spam the thread(as much as I hated this rule, it is still in effect)
> Rules are rules, so don't complain. Also keep in mind that Mafia is a game of elimination, and dying is part of it.
> The roles will be determined completely randomly, so don't bias
> There will be no hints or extra clues other than the information given
> You may not post anything from outside the thread
> Have fun … Or else...

"I wish I could wrap my arms around every animal in the world
and keep them safe, let them know they are loved and take all of their pain away." Kim Meagher
Image by Joanne West, JWestPhotography.com
Kimberly Meagher – Founder and Chair
email firstname.lastname@example.com
"Working with Horses is my Music." Kim Meagher
Raised by her Grandmother, in Saginaw, Michigan, Kimberly Meagher (pronounced Marr) grew up in a violent neighborhood far away from horses. She worked for Second National Bank Corporation in Saginaw, Michigan for several years. She moved to Arizona in 1985 and raised her two children alone. She worked for RC Hughes Corporation in Scottsdale for a few years, and then moved on to Intel Corporation in 1988. She worked at Intel until 2002.
In 1994, she bought The Yellow Rose Ranch in Gilbert Arizona. In 1995, she renamed it Wildhorse Ranch Rescue and began rescuing horses. Having no horse experience, she sought out clinics. She met Monty Roberts, Buck Brannaman and Pat Parelli. She read their books and attended all of their clinics. Seeing the difficulty of handling rescued horses beyond her skill set, she determined that the Parelli method was best suited for her unique situation of needing intense horsemanship, while also staying safe in the presence of horses that have abusive and horrific pasts. While all methods of natural horsemanship are valuable, the Parelli method proved to be best suited for retraining rescued horses and their potential adopters for a lifetime of success.
In Sept of 2002, after a lifetime in Corporate, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a Parelli Natural Horsemanship Instructor! However, just 2 months later, in November 2002, her saddle broke while training, Dunny, a rescue horse to be in Wildhorse Ranch Rescue's fundraising play, Oklahoma! While in a full gallop, Kim found herself underneath Dunny and barely conscious on the ground. Dunny saved her life by acting quickly and stopping on a dime, something he'd been trained to do by his previous owners. However, that accident left her with a broken neck and ruptured lower back. With no medical insurance, in intense physical pain and a son to raise, she had no choice but to drain her retirement account to provide for the rescued herd, pay her enormous medical bills and provide for her son. She almost lost her home and the ranch for the rescued equines.
Realizing that her horse training dream would never be a reality, Kim set up several businesses to help bring in funds so that the rescue could survive. If she could not live her dream of being a Parelli Trainer, at least she could continue helping horses and animals in need.
Kim is part author of the book, Alternatives to Auction & Slaughter. A Guide for Equine Owners - A Better Way, which she helped create while she was the Arizona State Coordinator for the American Horse Defense Fund. She and Trina Bellak, Founder and President of the American Horse Defense Fund went to Capitol Hill for several sessions of congress to lobby for the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.
Kim is also the author of a second book. The sales from her 2nd book go to Wildhorse Ranch Rescue to help provide food and vet care for the rescued herd.
In 2007, Kim had the opportunity to be in a movie titled "Jolene." She was the stand in for Jessica Chastain, the lead actor in the movie. Additional actors included, Dermot Mulroney, Denise Richards, Francis Fisher and Rupert Friend. "The ironic part about being involved with this movie, is that while we were filming one of the scenes, I spotted a horse trailer backing into the area where we needed to have a car drive away in the shoot. I called to the director to stop the scene so that we could get the trailer full of horses safely out of the way. It seems whatever I do, horses get involved one way or another. " Most of Kim's time is spent helping horses in need, whether it's writing a book, raising funds, tending to sick horses or earning a few bucks as a stand in for a movie.
In 2015, Kim was thrilled to be part of the movie, Witch Child. http://witchchildmovie.com/
She played the part of Kim Riordan. www.kimberlymeagher.com
Quotes over the years by Kim Meagher:
"Make anywhere you are, beautiful, because life is made up of days you think are on the way to something, when they are really the days of your life." _ Kim Meagher
"You don't have to own a ranch to help a horse, you just have to own a heart." _ Kim Meagher, Founder of Wildhorse Ranch Rescue
"We should all be adept at knowing our ineptness." _ Kim Meagher
"Select your passion or your poison...often they are the same thing." _ Kim Meagher
"One thing I'm really good at, is knowing what I'm bad at." Kim Meagher in response to a reporter's question on what skills are important for running a charity.
"Who are You to Despise a Who, Just Because He is Not Like You? Welcome to Who-Ville." _ Kim Meagher
"Make the preservation of the horse as valuable as the slaughter of the cow." _ Kim Meagher 10/27/2015

Necessary and sufficient conditions on weight pairs guaranteeing the two-weight inequalities for the potential operators and on the cone of nonincreasing functions are derived. In the case of , we assume that the right-hand side weight is of product type. The same problem for other mixed-type double potential operators is also studied. Exponents of the Lebesgue spaces are assumed to be between 1 and ∞.

#AtoZChallenge – V is for Venery
All right, here is the ending to The Slasher that you've been waiting for. Here's parts one, two and three.
The venery was over. Detective Daniel didn't know how to feel. It had taken over a year and twelve victims, but the Slasher was caught. Daniel had been the one to snap the cuffs around his wrists and read the rights. Never had he felt so good. Now, the killer was behind bars and awaiting trial.
He couldn't believe the venery was over. Ended by something completely unrelated: a stupid parking ticket he had neglected to pay. It had linked him to the area all the bodies had been found. Now, he sat in a tiny cell, awaiting trial.
Find out more about the April A to Z blog challenge, and check out the other participants!
4/24/2014 06:27:18 pm
Well, I for one am glad he was caught. Stupid mistake or not.
4/24/2014 07:13:33 pm
So he did make a mistake, a small, insignificant slip up!
Well I'm very glad he was caught - it's always the silly things that bring down serial killers.
4/24/2014 10:58:18 pm
Oh, the lowly parking ticket...
4/24/2014 11:52:40 pm
Oh, I can imagine that was satisfying for Daniel. A parking ticket, of all things. Kind of like putting Capone away for tax evasion.
4/25/2014 01:18:44 am
Nice twist! I really love how so many of your tales do that. You really have a knack for flash fiction.
4/25/2014 02:49:54 am
Like Al Capone going down for tax evasion! Good on them. It's unnerving how many crimes are uncovered based on menial oversights.
4/25/2014 03:43:35 am
I like the two perspectives!
4/25/2014 03:56:00 am
I can't believe I read the origins as saying "Middle Earth" LOL
4/25/2014 04:14:05 am
Interesting word use and I'm glad the Slasher was finally caught. I've noticed in crime novels and the true crime stuff I've watched in the past (things like Forensic Files and Cold Cases), it was usually something small that gave them away.
4/25/2014 05:20:15 am
A huge oops! I'm checking to see if I have any unpaid parking tickets.
4/25/2014 06:34:23 am
@S.Katherine, hooray for learning a new word.
4/27/2014 04:24:48 am
I laugh. This just took my fancy. Isn't it always the silly mistakes that get them in the end.
4/28/2014 11:20:40 am
Glad you liked it. =D

I mentioned in a recent post that we were running fortnightly stampin' challenges on my team's Facebook page and I'm back this morning to share my latest entry.
This fortnight was a themed challenge, the theme being vintage. I was hopeful that some sponged edges and the inclusion of lace would pass, as I'm a bit light on for actual stamped images that could be considered in keeping with the theme.
Here's what I came up with...
I was assisted in the design stakes this time around by a sketch from the ever inspiring Retro Sketches...
Happiest of birthdays (last week!) to my beautiful mum and Nanny of my girls. We are so very fortunate to have your loving, positive influence in all of our lives. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do for us xoxo
Thanks for popping in and sharing Nanny's birthday with me today!

Code Name: Bloodclaw
Super-Power(s): Super-strength, metal claws.
Planet of Origin: Khundia
Code Name: FirefistSuper-Power(s): Enhanced strength, speed, and endurance; built-in energy blaster.
Code Name: FlederwebSuper-Power(s): Bat-like wings, cling to walls.
Code Name: VeilmistSuper-Power(s): Teleportation.
Planet of Origin: Khundia
Legion Seniority: The Khund Legionnaires were the last Legion recruits of the post-5YL era.
Legion Log
The boy who would take the name Bloodclaw was born somewhat misshapen, with a primitive look about him. Fortunately for him, his odd musculature translated into a strength advantage, which he used to answer any taunts over his appearance in Khundia's challenge courts. He eventually gained such stature that he was allowed cybernetic enhancement, one of the highest honors a Khund can achieve. He chose a pair of mechanical hands with sharp claws and became one of the Empire's best fighters.
Firefist's story is a common one on Khundia. Through strength, rage, and excellent marksmanship and leadership abilities, he rose quickly through the army ranks, and was awarded the chance for cybernetic enhancement. He had his entire body mechanically enhanced for greater strength, speed and endurance, and had an energy-blaster built into the armor near his hand. He claimed as his wife the most beautiful female on Khundia, the teleporter Veilmist.
The boy who came to be known as Flederweb was born on Khundish-occupied Aetia, where he was chosen, like many other unfortunates, for Khundish biotechnology experiments. The scientists altered his muscles, skin and bone structure so that he had wings like a bat's and could stick to walls. Against his will, he was inducted into Khundish military service, where he was fitted with a mind-control device to ensure his obedience.
While male Khunds are bred for aggression, females are bred for breeding. In Khundish law, a woman is actual property of her husband, and if her husband is killed by an eligible male, he becomes her new husband. While this system is repressive to most Khundish females, some have managed to use it to their advantage. One of these is Veilmist, a stunningly beautiful woman, whose scientist father gave her the added bonus of teleportation powers. She has managed to seduce four Khunds into killing her previous husbands, each time rising several notches in Khundish status. The last in this series is Firefist.
Some time after the period known as the Five Year Gap, these four Khunds were selected to join forces with the Legion of Super-Heroes against the undead army of Mordru. (They do not seem to exist in any other version of continuity.)
Bloodclaw's prosthetics proved to be his undoing, when he ran afoul of an undead Magnetic Kid, which used its powers to make him cut himself. He was buried with full Khundish military honors.
The deal between the Khunds and the Legion stipulated that Firefist was to co-lead the team, but his aggressive nature caused so many conflicts that the Legion finally ignored him. In a fit of frustration during the assault on Mordru, he lashed out at Legionnaire Devlin O'Ryan, whose reflective powers apparently killed Firefist with his own blast. But his cybernetic systems actually kept him alive, and the Khunds rebuilt him. After completing an assignment to kill Starfinger, his path crossed with the Legion's once again, but the arrival of cadets from the United Planets Militia Academy prevented him from taking revenge. When last seen, he was still in the Khundish military, and had been involved in a plot to destroy Weber's World.
In the Legion, Flederweb liked being treated as a person rather than a curiosity, and sought to stay with the team after Mordru was defeated. He was forcibly taken back by the Khundish army, but was captured by the Legion during the Khundish attempt on the Starfinger's life. The Legion freed him from the mind-control device, and he helped them try to stop the Khundish destruction of Weber's World. He then helped free the Heroes of Lallor and joined forces with them against occupying Khunds.
Upon meeting Ultra Boy, Veilmist attempted to goad him into killing Firefist before Devlin accidentally did the job. She then attempted to attach herself to Devlin, hoping to convince Jo to kill him later. The Khundish military did not allow her to stay with the Legion however, invoking Khundish law and Devlin being too young to be married and own "property". Instead, ownership reverted to the army, and then back to a resurrected Firefist. When, during the Khundish attempt to destroy Weber's World, she offered to help the Legion if Jo would take her from Firefist, her husband killed her for her disloyalty. She was nevertheless among the Legionnaires of many worlds who fought Superboy-Prime's forces during Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds.
