After the first seven games of the summer Cape Cod Baseball League season, the Bourne Braves are atop the Western Division with a record of 5-2. Wednesday night, June 18, Bourne beat Cotuit (4-3), who along with the Falmouth Commodores and Hyannis Harbor Hawks are tied for second place.
Bourne 5 - Cotuit 4
The Bourne Braves took advantage of a wild pitch, a walk and a costly throwing error, which they paired with three hits in the bottom of the first inning Wednesday night, scoring four times in a 5-4 win over the Kettleers. Ryan Kellogg (Arizona State) got the start for the Braves and the win in six innings of work. Kellogg scattered seven hits and allowed three runs, only one of which was earned. He struck out seven. Brett Morales (Florida) came on in the seventh allowing a run on two hits and Lucas Laster (Mississippi State) pitched two-thirds of the eighth before turning it over to John Gorman (Boston College) who went an inning and a third to pick up the save.
Cotuit 7 - Bourne 6
Both teams beat up on the pitching Tuesday night as Cotuit and Bourne combined for 21 hits in a 7-6 victory for the Kettleers. Swinging a big bat for Bourne was Blake Davey (Connecticut), who finished three for four with a walk. He opened the scoring for Bourne with a home run in the top of the second inning. Mark Laird (LSU) went two for five with a run scored.
Opening-day-winner Jimmy Herget (South Florida) got the start for the Braves and went four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits. He surrendered a home run to Cotuit catcher Casey Schroeder in the third inning. Dylan Nelson (Radford) came on in relief in the fifth, gave up a run in relief in an inning and a third of work and was tagged with the loss. Joey Strain (Winthrop) and Brad Raley (Lake Erie) each pitched in relief. The Kettleers used six pitchers with Adam Whitt (Nevada Reno) earning the win.
The Braves stranded a dozen base runners.
Brewster 5 - Bourne 2
The Braves suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader in a 5-2 decision to the Brewster Whitecaps. Sam Kmiec (Winthrop) got the start and took the loss in two and two-thirds innings, in which he surrendered five runs on nine hits. Whitecaps starter Andrew Lee (Tennessee) held the Braves to just two hits in picking up the win.
Bourne 4 - Brewster 3
Bourne returned to the win column in the second game with a 4-3 win. Ian Martinez-McGraw (Lipscomb) got the start for the Braves and went two and two-thirds innings, allowing two runs on five hits. Jake Long (Clemson) came on in relief and went two and a third innings, without allowing a hit, while striking out four to earn the win. John Gorman (Boston College) pitched two inning in relief, earning the save.
Brewster scored twice in the second inning, but the Braves answered with a run in the third on a Blake Allemand (Texas A&M) single that scored Richard Martin Jr. (Florida). Bourne then sent nine men to the plate in the fourth scoring three more times. Martin led Bourne at the plate going two for three, with two runs scored and an RBI. Gavin Collins (Mississippi) was also two for three, with a run scored.
Bourne 6 - Falmouth 0
The Braves made a quick trip to Sandwich Saturday for a game with the Falmouth Commodores. Andrew Sopko (Gonzaga) held Falmouth to three hits over six innings in picking up the 6-0 win. Sopko struck out six and did not allow a walk. Brett Morales (Florida) turned in two solid innings on the hill in relief, scattering two hits and Strain finished off the ninth.
Brett Sullivan (University of the Pacific) finished the afternoon two for four with three RBI and two runs scored. He had a two-run home run in the fifth. Collins was also two for four with a run scored.

Labors 80 Reviews
Staring at the Sun
And it came to pass that the God of Stupidity appeared before them as a thilly purple ninja, and the Dudes didst power up and beat the crap out of him.
'Ow! Fuck! 'Tis I, Derrick, God of Humor!' cried he. 'Canst thou not taketh a joke?'
'Sorry, Lord Derrick,' quoth RJ as the Dudes didst put away their weapons and properly greet the God of M&Ms.
'Much better,' spake the God of All Things Found Under Couch Cushions. 'The stranger hath decreed that thy next labor shalt be to chop down the Money Tree, which groweth atop the steel mountain of Wall $treet. Liveth long and prosper!'
And the God of Hawai'ian Shirts gaveth the Dudes the Vulcan hand sign as he didst vanish from their midst.
'May the Force by with thee!' quoth RJ as he didst bow prostrate at the vanishing deity's feet.
And the Dudes didst glare at RJ.
'Hast thou thy Gothic Ax, Dirty Uncle Orty?' quoth Scoot.
'Aye!' quoth he.
And so the Dudes didst set forth to choppeth down the Money Tree.
After taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque, the Dudes didst finally discover the misplaced island of Manhattan and didst enter the city thereof.
'Let us taketh the subway,' quoth Scoot, 'for the people there soundeth harmless enough.'
'Who art those people down there?' quoth Oreamnos Americanus.
'The New York City Rats,' quoth Nori, 'and trust me, thou doth not want to meet them. Rats! Big, fuckin' rats, with sharp, pointy teeth! Surely thou hast encountered the New York City Rats in thy many travels, Scoot.'
'I am afraid not,' quoth he.
And so the Dudes didst begin their long, laborious climb up the steel mountains of Wall $treet. For it was a long way up, as the small people of the Cubicle had built the mountains as a monument to self-importance.
'Dudes… I canst go no farther,' quoth Oreamnos Americanus, for he was out of breath. 'My feet art killing me.'
'O ye of little brain-power,' quoth Nori, 'didst it ever occur to thee to taketh the elevator, thou fucking knuckle-dragging, boner-biting Neanderthals?'
'Oh,' quoth Scoot. 'Hey, Dudes, 'twould seem we have been doing this the hard way.'
'Aye,' laughed Dirty Uncle Orty, 'but look at her go!'
For Jennifer, the High Priestess of Hondo, was climbing the outside of the building, and she was proclaiming herself the first female Human Fly.
And she didst fall down, but then a flying saucer came down and didst pick her up, and after she didst take them to her dealer, they didst beam her up to the same floor as the Dudes.
And so the Dudes didst continue their long journey, passing through an endless maze of elevators and tourist attractions.
And it came to pass that one by one, the Dudes didst fall by the wayside to examine certain forms of merchandise.
'These Wall $treet Suits must have learned from a master of temptation,' quoth Scoot.
And Lucifer didst appear before Scoot in a cloud of fire and brimstone wearing a suit and tie.
'Well speak o' the devil!' quoth Scoot. 'Where the hell didst thou come from?'
For Scoot had broken his brain with that last remark.
'How art thou doing?' quoth Scoot. 'Thou'rt still not upset about that whole Bathrobe Incident, art thou?'
'I must be brief, for I have other pressing matters here on Wall $treet,' spake the Dark Prince. 'I wouldst be willing to forget about that little stunt if thou wouldst doeth me one teeny little favor.'
'I'm not joining thee, and that's final,' quoth Scoot. 'I ain't down with the Dark Side.'
'Thou art also not a gangsta,' quoth Adria.
'No, no, nothing so big as that,' quoth Lucifer. 'I have here in my hand a briefcase full of unmarked bills. They canst be of any currency, any amount ye wish. And they never runneth out. I wouldst be willing to part with it if thou wouldst do one thing. All I ask of thee is that thou wouldst only taketh the Money Tree for me, and not choppeth it down.'
'No dice,' quoth Scoot. 'For the Gods of Hondo have commanded me to choppeth it down no matter what. I will not let my gods lose a stupid bet to a total stranger.'
'What the Gods of Hondo don't know shalt not hurt them,' quoth Lucifer. 'I have also a magic axe which wouldst create the illusion of the Money Tree being chopped down. Thou couldst help the Gods of Hondo, and liveth like a king without having to move to Mexico.'
'I can't get with that.'
'Come on,' quoth Lucifer. 'Let us play Who Wanteth to Be Filthy Fucking Rich? What dost thou want?'
'It doth involve principles— thou wouldst not understand,' quoth Scoot as he didst step on the Great Satan's tail and walked away. 'Oops, sorry about that.'
'So be it,' quoth Lucifer. 'If that is how thou wanteth to play. I have missed my appointment here, so I must away to an appointment in Georgia. By the way, knowest thou know anything about fiddles?'
And so Scoot didst shrug his shoulders as Lucifer vanished in a puff of smoke.
And it came to pass that Scoot didst notice that he had been turned into a farting chicken.
'At last!' cried Adria, 'no longer is little Skidmarks the last of her kind! The farting chickens shall rise again!'
And Scoot didst flee in terror.
'Hey! Get thee back here!' cried Adria as she didst chase Scoot. 'Thou must mateth with Skidmarks! Scoot!…'
But the Dudes didst agree that Adria's idea was really fucked-up, and so they didst defend Scoot.
And those who were still with Scoot didst search long and hard, for the way to the Money Tree was well-hidden.
But finally, Scoot, Nori, Adria, Oreamnos Americanus, and Dirty Uncle Orty didst reach the top of the steel mountains of Wall $treet, and there they didst find that the great Money Tree was on the opposite side of the street.
'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!' cried Nori.
And the Dudes didst look down at the concrete canyon below.
'How art we supposed to get across?' quoth Oreamnos Americanus. 'I don't want to goeth all the way back down and then up another metal mountain.'
And it came to pass that Scoot didst fart, and it didst smell bad.
'Whoa! That doth stink!' cried Adria. 'Scoot is a true farting chicken. He and Skidmarks must bear offspring.'
'With a power level like Scoot's, we had better be careful what we feedeth him,' quoth Nori.
'Nothin' floats a brotha like the K-F-C!' laughed Oreamnos Americanus.
'Cannibal!' cried Dirty Uncle Orty.
And at the very mention of the idea of eating chicken, Scoot didst blast off.
'Let us break wind!' cried Adria, and she didst grab Skidmarks as she took off.
'When in Rome…' quoth Dirty Uncle Orty, and he didst jump and grabbeth Scoot.
'Hey! Wait for me!' cried Oreamnos Americanus, for he was left behind.
'Look not at me!' quoth Nori as she didst fly across. 'Thou'rt too heavy!'
And so Adria and Dirty Uncle Orty didst parachicken across the canyon of Wall $treet to reach the Money Tree.
But as they stood before the Money Tree, they saw that the fruit of the tree was pleasing to the eye, and a tree to be desired by anyone who didst seek riches, and Dirty Uncle Orty took the fruit thereof.
'No!' quoth Adria. 'Thou must not giveth in!'
'But remember what Lucifer said unto us,' quoth he. 'So much money…'
'No… I shall not be moved!' cried Adria. 'Take up thy Gothic Ax and put thy money where thy mouth is!'
And Dirty Uncle Orty didst resist the temptation to sell out, and didst chop down the Money Tree.
And when they saw that their precious Money Tree was no more, the investors didst panic, and like a legion of corporate lemmings didst fall off of the steel mountains one by one, for so long they had been staring at the sun.
And it came to pass that the God of Stupidity appeared before them as a talking fire hydrant, and said unto them: 'Hail, Dudes! Thou hast completed yet another labor. Keepeth this up and me may yet winneth that bet.'
'Yo, Derrick!' quoth Oreamnos Americanus. 'Couldst thou possibly teleporteth me over there?'
And the God of Magic didst teleport Oreamnos Americanus over to the other side of the canyon of Wall $treet.
'And wouldst thou turneth Scoot back to normal?' quoth Dirty Uncle Orty.
'Perhaps…' spake the God of Humor. 'I rather like him just the way he is…'
'Damn straight,' quoth Adria, 'for the farting chicken doth not deserve extinction.'
And the God of Transsexual Nazi Eskimos didst appear before them as Otis the horned bulldog, and he didst piss on Derrick.
'Hey! (glub, glub) That-(glub) not funny!' cried the God of Orange Juice Drinking as he didst vanish.
'Aahhh… much better…' spake the God of Flowin' Prose. 'Now, prepare thyself to learn of thy next labor.'
'We shall do whatever thou commandeth of us,' quoth Adria. 'for 'tis always a pleasure to serve thee, thy Hornèd Highness.'
'Thou shalt go unto Albuquerque and assassinate the Whistling Assassin who doth reside therein,' spake the God of Ritalin. 'Now go forth, and complete thy next labor, Dudes.'
And Matt didst vanish from their midst, and the Dudes didst return to Albuquerque to seek out the Whistling Assassin.
*Fear not, for no money was harmed in the making of this chapter.

RentaGreenBox.com claims to be "The First, Zero-Waste Pack and Move Solution in America!" What does this really mean?
20 percent of the American population packs and moves each year- generating massive quantities of waste, that ultimately ends up in a landfill. It's a huge problem and we haven't had a choice in over 230 years.
New or used cardboard boxes are expensive, inefficient, wasteful and really bad for our planet.
The founder, Spencer Brown, has developed the Recopack made from 100% hard to recycle plastic trash mined from local landfills. They are available in 3 sizes and delivered direct to your door, you just pack, stack and move. When you are finished unpacking just call them up and they'll take the Recopacks away to be used again.
We like how they share their pricing online and although its far from cheap we think it's a much better solution than buying new boxes and also environmentally responsible.
Unfortunately they currently only service Los Angeles County, Long Beach and Orange County but have expansion plans in the works for San Francisco and Portland.
If you can't shake the boxes then consider searching your local Craigslist for moving boxes. Many times you'll find them free or at a small cost. You can also order from UsedCardboardBoxes.com and they will deliver previously used boxes that are in good condition.

What's on
Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking two year 9 pupils Emma Wells and Joe Foster to an English event at Leeds Playhouse. There were pupils from schools all over the north of England. Both pupils were very polite, well mannered and extremely well behaved. They were both a credit to the school.
I would just like to thank everyone involved in the open night we attended last night. Pupils were polite and helpful as were the staff! Our girls currently attend year 6 and 5 at Bill Quay Primary now cannot wait to get stuck in at Heworth Grange! Thanks again and see you all in the future(hopefully)
Teachers are very committed and provide extensive out-of-school support for those in danger of failing, those working below target and for anyone, including the most able, who feels the need for additional guidance.
The school deserves its good reputation in the local community.
We would like to thank the staff and students for all the hard work and effort you all put into the visit. We were impressed with every aspect of the school, the students were so confident, polite and very mature from the youngest to eldest.
Well done to yourself and all of your staff for the work you have done and particular congratulations to all of the students who have achieved their own success hopes.
I have been to feel so welcome at the school as I go about working with the young people and staff. All of the staff on the front desk/office have been brilliant and extremely helpful and are a credit to the school. I look forward to my visits to Heworth school.
As you know its difficult when your child makes the move from primary to comprehensive school but we feel happier after the visit.
Achievement in English is outstanding. There is a strong focus on reading, spelling and vocabulary. Each Key Stage 3 lesson in English starts with sustained silent reading and there is a word of the week.
Teachers are very committed and provide extensive out-of-school support for those in danger of failing, those working below target and for anyone, including the most able, who feels the need for additional guidance.

|Newly acquired QB Chad Pennington (left) might have the inside track on the No. 1 job in Miami.
DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins are now under the watchful eye of the master of reclamation projects, Bill Parcells, who continues to make big changes to a team that finished 1-15 last season.
Is it an official overhaul? Yes. By my count there should be anywhere from 8-10 starters on this team that did not play for the Dolphins in 2007.
This is nothing new for Parcells. When he took over the New England Patriots in 1993, he changed the culture of the franchise in very little time, leading it to Super Bowl XXXI. Then he went to the 1-15 Jets and turned the team into a 9-7 squad right away with very few changes to the roster. When he got to Dallas it took two years to have enough talent to convert the defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 but, like he did with the Patriots and Jets, Parcells built another playoff team.

� NFL.com's two-a-day tour
� Complete training camp coverage
The project in Miami has elements of all three previous ones led by Parcells. Yet after spending time watching the Dolphins practice as well as discussing it with Parcells, Miami GM Jeff Ireland, and coach Tony Sparano, as well as many of the players, the project is well underway. Still, there's lots of work left to be done.
So far the Dolphins have had a very physical camp with a roster influx that is trying to make the transition to a 3-4 defense. On offense, they'll look to run the ball a lot early in the season.
Every key position in the organization is held by a man who totally understands what Parcells wants done both on and off the field. Ireland describes himself as the person responsible to procure talent. There is no doubt he will continue to use the trade vehicle as well as the waiver wire to add and subtract players. Sparano was very impressive in discussing that, "now is the time to pressure the young players" and make sure that this team is mentally tough from top to bottom.
As for the players, there has been such a significant injection of former Cowboys on the roster that everyone gets the message about how things are now done in Miami. I sat down with NT Jason Ferguson, LB Akin Ayodele, DB Keith Davis and TE Anthony Fasano -- all former Cowboys -- and they were all confident the guys in the locker room are on board with the team's new direction.
As Parcells and Sparano say, "it's a big man's game" and there are big issues ahead for a team trying to rebound.
With that in mind, look for the Dolphins to make at least one more trade this summer and claim 4-6 players on waivers at the last cut (they do own the top claim spot on the waiver wire list) in an effort to turn things around.
This franchise won eight division titles in the 70's, five titles in the 80's, three titles in the 90's and has just one in the 21st century. Things are going to change, but it will take time in a division that has Tom Brady, Brett Favre and a much-improved Bills team.
Let's take a look at the immediate hurdles facing the 2008 Dolphins.
1. Can this team go to the playoffs in 2008?
Now that a healthy Chad Pennington added to the mix at quarterback, along with a solid competitor in Josh McCown and a rising star in rookie Chad Henne, the most important position has been solidified. There are playmakers in receiver Ted Ginn and running back Ronnie Brown and Miami will shorten the game with a power-running attack. The Dolphins lost six games by three points last year. Miami struggled offensively last season, scoring 20 points or less in 11 of its losses. Of all the problems to fix, the offense will take the longest to come together. Sparano, being a former offensive line coach, knows it begins up front and he got a good start by drafting Jake Long with the first overall pick to anchor the left tackle spot. Long is learning a lesson every day in practice. He'll be ready to run block, but there will be some growing pains in pass protection. Let's hold off on the playoff dreams for right now.
2. Can Ricky Williams regain his form from years gone by?
It's hard to imagine a 31-year-old running back that hasn't really done much since 2005 could still be a factor in the NFL. However, Ricky Williams appears ready to do just that in 2008. He sure looked good in shorts this spring, according to teammates, but now the pads are on and it gets a lot tougher. If his touches are restricted to 10-15 per game, he could be an effective player. If Brown goes down again with an injury, it may be too much to ask of Williams to take over the full load of carries. The third-down back situation is unsettled, with Williams in the mix for that spot. Williams may be a better answer on first and second downs and let Brown handle the third downs. I have been fooled before by former great players trying to mount a comeback, so I always proceed with caution, but this time it looks like Williams has a real chance for a strong rebound.
3. Which QB will lead this team?
Offensive coordinator Dan Henning has worked with Pennington before and it appears the former New York Jet will win the starting job. Pennington is bright and an excellent decision-maker on the field, but he needs a good supporting cast around him. The short-passing game designed to move the chains, instead of a wide-open spread attack, is the stuff Pennington does well. Therefore, it would make sense to play him now with an eye on Henne next year. It's hard to predict who will inhabit the third spot on the depth chart but John Beck could be moved. The Parcells regime, after all, did not draft him.
4. Will the top draft picks really contribute right away?
Both Long and Henne are cut from the same mold. It was obvious why this organization took both of them. They are bright, tough guys who have thick skin, a burning desire to be great and don't have to be told twice by the coaches about how to do things. Long will have an impact right away. Henne will need time but not as much as most rookie quarterbacks. On defense, ends Phillip Merling and Kendall Langford will push right away for playing time. Sixth-round pick Donald Thomas (guard) will challenge for playing time on offense. Keep a close eye on an undrafted kid out of Georgia Southern, Jayson Foster, who is a 5-foot-7 playmaker that Parcells is high on. Parcells recalled the time he had Wes Welker on his roster and lost him on a waiver claim. Funny how he brought that up right after telling me about Foster.

Aug. 23: Kansas City, 7:30 p.m. ET
Aug. 28: at New Orleans, 8 p.m. ET
5. Are there enough pieces in place to convert to the 3-4 defense?
The key to the 3-4 conversion is finding outside linebackers who can rush the passer and play some coverage. Parcells and defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni converted Greg Ellis in Dallas and are now hoping to do the same with either Matt Roth or Vonnie Holliday. If neither project works out, then Charlie Anderson will line up opposite Joey Porter. Right now this project is purely experimental. There will be enough talent on the defensive line and inside linebacker spots, but the secondary and outside backers remain a challenge. Sparano was quick to point out how good free-agent defensive end Randy Starks was fitting in as a two-gap end after coming from a 4-3 defensive tackle spot in Tennessee.
6. Can Sparano bring so many new faces from different places together in time?
Sparano has a challenge in getting all of his players on the same page in time for the start of the season. He keeps his message and plan simple and there was a real feeling at camp that everyone checked their egos at the door. This shouldn't be a problem for the Dolphins.
7. Where will the most immediate improvement come on this team?
The Dolphins will demonstrate immediate improvement in special teams, they will commit fewer penalties, and turn the ball over less. They should be better stopping the run and running the ball in 2008.
8. Are they going to be ready for Brett Favre and the Jets in Week 1?
It was funny when I brought up the subject of Favre in the opener to Sparano and the players I interviewed. The focus is not on Favre and it's not on the Jets -- it is clearly on themselves. The Dolphins seem totally focused on what they do each and every practice and not on any opponent. The players know there are going to be constant roster changes and everyone is on their toes at all times. Favre is the least of their problems. Survival is the issue of the day.
How close are the Dolphins?
While I look for the Dolphins to go 7-9 this year, they will be right in the thick of the division race come 2009.

You and the stranger both like bp!Kurt, and Kurtbastian.
You: "Agent Smythe, you will be placed to guard the son of a Congressmen. Keep him safe, and most of all, don't let anyone know. You are placed in his classes as a new transfer student from Paris. Work with it as you like. For safety reasons you will be taking the name of Thomas." Sebastian nodded as he looked up from the file. "Understood, sir," he replied. "Tomorrow is your first day at New York Academy of Dramatic Art. Don't fail." Sebastian nodded again, so that was why he had to so singing and dancing tests before. He grabbed all his gear and went to prepare for his new life tomorrow.
Stranger: Kurt was the precious son of the Congressman, his parents were so protective of him that they found it suited to have him guarded, literally, especially since past bullying experiences during high school. The young man had all it took for a normal gay guy to fall head over heels for him but so far he was single, especially since he tried hard to mask his secret; the secret in his pants. He was already dressed ready for his afternoon dance class when he got out of the car which usually brought him to school. He headed up to the dance classroom only to find it still empty. He took the liberty to do some stretching exercises, that's until he heard footsteps coming in.

You: Sebastian Smythe was offered to take over NYADA as the youngest principal yet, being only 28, the man was, even without his brown leather wristband on his left wrist, known as being a dom. The sad point was, Sebastian had never found his soulmate, his submissive. The leather cuff covering the name of his one significant other. Sebastian had searched everywhere, all the way through college. He knew he would meet his submissive when the timing was right. Sebastian played with the leather in frustration as he was wondering if he should take on some few hours of teaching too, getting more familiar with the students.
Stranger: Kurt had his first day at NYADA today adjusted the buckle on his leather cuff, sleek, pretty new black leather, on his right wrist, signifying he was a submissive. His name had only come up a few months ago, and he had no idea who Sebastian Smythe was, but Kurt had his hopes and dreams, just like any other unclaimed sub or dom. He undid the buckle, slipping it down a hole, it was too loose, he tightened it again, it was too tight. Kurt sighed and left it tight, walking into his vocal lesson almost 5 minutes early and sitting down towards the edge of one of the middle rows, now fiddling with a thread on his shirt.

You and the stranger both like Kurtbastian.
Stranger: Kurt got out of his car, after sitting there for a few minutes debating on what to say. He had walked out a few days ago, upset since his fiance accused him of cheating. He walked up to his fiance's door (So he hoped they were still together after thier fight) and knocked lightly. When he knocked the door had opened slightly, which made Kurt hesitantly walk in. "Baby?" he asked a bit quieter than he attended
You: When Kurt opened the door a puppy stormed to him with a wagging tail and cute little barks. Furniture was moved and there was some mess in general. Sebastian was in the kitchen working out how to get the stove to work and he managed to do so. He had poured another glass of wine as he walked into the living room, not expecting Kurt at all. He possessively snatched the puppy in his arms and looked judgingly over Kurt. "What are /you/ doing here," his voice slurred a bit.

Stranger: (Werewolf AU, bp!Kurt) Kurt's face was flushed as he excused himself from class and nearly ran out, quickly making his way to the bathroom. After checking that no one else was in the bathroom, he stopped forcing himself to control his breath, starting to pant. He was going into heat, and he knew it, but he slammed his eyes closed and grabbed the sink firmly, as if he could stop it just by sheer will.
You: Sebastian was fairly new at his school, same with several other students. All transferred from france some how. Their school had 'closed' down and that made Sebastian, Hunter, Nick, Jeff and Brody come to Dalton. Sebastian hadn't really noticed there was another wolf here at the school until he smelled Kurt, the others did too. But being the alpha, Sebastian already and made a claim on Kurt. He would mate Kurt. He was destined to mate with him. Hunter wasn't so pleased, while Nick and Jeff were ecstatic. Brody was more easy going in general. "You can stop trying to hide it you know…," his voice suddenly sounded in the bathroom. "My whole pack can smell you. Why are you so afraid of us? We never did you any harm..," he spoke while cocking his head a bit and walking towards the boy slowly. "But I must admit your heat is kind of drivin' me crazy, doll," Sebastian spoke in a whisper as his hot breath caressed Kurt's neck.
Stranger: Kurt's eyes went wide as he snapped around to face Sebastian. The face that normally annoyed and, yes, frightened him was suddenly getting him worked up, and he silently cursed his heat. "God, Sebastian, just go away," he said, his voice in a higher pitch than usual. He tried to take a step back but his body wouldn't let him, breathing in harshly at his proximity to Sebastian. He whimpered out a "please," though he was no longer sure what exactly he was asking for.

You: (Teacher!Sebastian) Sebastian nodded and put one foot on his knee as he leaned back reading the student's paper. He grabbed his coffee and took a sip. "Scrap this paragraph. Move this one to the top and the top to the middle," he started commenting. His brows slowly started to fur as the story suddenly changed into a really mature gay sex story. Sebastian got hot and cleared his throat. He didn't want to stop reading it but he shouldn't accept this right. "Is this a joke?"
Stranger: Kurt chuckled softly from where he was sitting, trying his best to not freak out and get awkward "Nope, no joke." He said in a sultry voice, looking over at his teacher with dark and lust filled eyes.
You: Sebastian slammed the paper down and looked over the boy. "I don't care that you write this in your private time, Mr. Hummel. But this is not your English assignment," he spoke. He had to give the boy props on his write, so far what he had read.
I just imagined the most funniest plot.. Or well what should have happened on glee.
Sebastian should have sung the Sandra Dee song for Kurt to get in his pants.
Bhahaha! 1,2,3,.. And WRITE!
Warning: Torture, Killings, Character Deaths and Suicide. Just a warning ;)
You: (Hunter!Sebastian)Sebastian checked if he had everything. He looked all pretty and innocent but what most people didn't know was that he was a Hunter. Once again he had to switch schools, and decided that Dalton would give him a nice break of hunting for the supernatural. Little did he know even in the expensive private school, supernatural creatures ran amok..
Stranger: Kurt Hummel walked through Dalton's halls towards his dorm, gently opening the door to his dorm. He closed it behind him, dropping onto his bed quickly and unfurling his wings. (Mutant, I guess.) He groaned, before realizing someone else was in his room. He sat up quickly, "Who're you?" He asked, looking at the new dorm mate.
You: Sebastian raised his eyebrows at the sight he was seeing. Slowly a smirk was revealed on his face as he looked over the boy with much interests. Maybe he didn't got that much of a break here. His eyes lighting up with the anticipation of another thing he could kill.
AAAAH SO SO PERFECT. I CAN'T. Will they see each other again or not. You will never know.. See what I did there? xD. Great RP'ing. I love you. x
NOOO!!!!! I am so sorry! Hope you liked it though? x

You: Sebastian bit his lip and got to his feet. He unbuttoned his shirt and looked at Kurt with some doubt. He inhaled sharply and started to unwrap the bandage around his chest. Slowly a devil like tail revealed. He bit his lip and flickered the long black tail with the arrow-like end, and let out a sigh in relief that it was freed. He casted his eyes down. "I.. I've a tail now.."
Stranger: "H-how" was all Kurt could manage, looking at Sebastian with wide eyes before looking at the tail.
You: Sebastian casted his eyes down. "I umm may have taken that vile of green liquid from my dad's office, you said I shouldn't take," he whispered quickly in one breath.
Stranger: Kurt groaned, "Oh, Sebastian" he sighed, "so what exactly are you now?"
You: Sebastian shrugged. "Mutt. Mutant. Freak..," he started. "I am so sorry Kurt. If you leave me I totally get that..," he spoke sadly.
Stranger: Kurt shook his head, "I'm not leaving you because you didn't something stupid, or I'd leave a long time ago" he pressed a gentle kiss to Sebastian's lips, "and don't call yourself that."
You: Sebastian couldn't help but smile. "Yeah.. I've done some stupid things," he muttered. His tail wrapped around the two of them and pulled then against each other. "It is pretty cool, I have like a third and longer arm," he whispered with his famous smirk.

Lake Land College's student trustee honored as sole community college Student Laureate
Lake Land College's student trustee, Kolten Postin of Moweaqua, was named the sole community college recipient of the Lincoln Academy Student Laureate Award for the state of Illinois. Postin recently accepted his award at the annual Student Laureate Convocation held at the Old State Capitol State Historic Site in Springfield.
The Lincoln Academy's Student Laureate Awards are presented for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities. At the Student Laureate Convocation, Postin, along with a senior from each of the four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities in Illinois received a Student Laureate Medallion, along with an honorarium check and certificate of achievement. This event marked the 39th year that students have been honored by the Academy.
"These students have exhibited a personal commitment to excel as seen by their remarkable academic accomplishments," said Governor Pat Quinn. "They serve as role models to all Illinois students. With hard-working and dedicated young leaders such as these, Illinois and the rest of the nation can look forward to a bright future."
According to Lake Land College Vice President of Student Services, Tina Stovall, Lake Land College was pleased to recognize Postin as an outstanding second-year student and to nominate him for the Student Laureate Award.
"Kolten has demonstrated excellence in both curricular and extracurricular activities and his leadership and communication skills are outstanding," said Stovall.
Following his high school graduation in 2012, Postin began attending Lake Land College to major in agriculture in August of that same year and quickly became involved in campus activities. He is a member of Phi Theta Kappa honors fraternity and currently serves as president for the Agriculture Transfer Club. He is also a member of the Post-Secondary Agriculture Student Club. As a member of the Student Government Association (SGA), Postin works closely with the other student governors to interact with students across the college to hear their concerns and be their voice in college decisions. He is currently active with SGA's plan to consider establishing a smoke-free campus. Postin was recently accepted to the college's Honors Program and will be participating in a study abroad experience in Belize during the semester break.
In spring 2013, Kolten was elected by his fellow students to serve as the student member of the Lake Land College Board of Trustees. As student trustee, Postin is well informed about both student needs and college business and is able to serve as a strong liaison between the students and the board," said Stovall. "He is well prepared and takes an active role in board meetings."
According to Stovall, in the early months of his trustee service, Postin shared his interest in completing a project that would allow him to leave something behind for the next generation of students at the college. Based on an outstanding experience he had with a summer internship, he has been working with two major agriculture companies to establish internship opportunities for future students. His involvement has included meeting individually with leaders in each of the agriculture companies, meeting with college faculty and administrators and leading a joint meeting between the two groups. Already, he has been successful in initiating a partnership between the college and one of the companies and he will be working with the other company during the spring semester.
Postin also has been active with the ICCB Student Advisory Committee and has demonstrated his interest and knowledge in addressing statewide issues and concerns.
"He is skilled at considering various perspectives and seeks to ensure that the voices of the community college students he represents are heard on important issues," said Lake Land College President Josh Bullock.
Additionally, Postin serves on the SAC Legislative and Local Issues Committees and hopes to be selected as the student member for either the ICCB Finance or Research Committees.
Postin grew up in a farm family and learned to appreciate farm work at an early age. In addition to his many responsibilities as a student and as a student leader for the college, he continues to work for a local farmer and describes how that work contributes to his overall well-being, which helps him be a stronger student and leader.
Postin's extracurricular involvement is supported by his academic success. He holds a 3.76 college GPA and is completing the requirements for graduation and successful transfer to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he will continue to major in agriculture with interests in Agriculture Economics and Agronomy. He plans to continue college through completion of a master's degree.
"Kolten serves as an excellent role model for students of all ages," said Bullock. "His love for learning and his desire to contribute to the world and make a difference for others is contagious. He is an outstanding leader and representative for Lake Land College students, an outstanding leader and representative for all community college students throughout the state of Illinois and a well-deserved recipient for the distinguished Student Laureate Award."

I'm kind of disappointed. Mostly in myself. It was my idea to reboot the Supernatural RP because I thought it'd bring those of us left closer together but all it did was bring in strangers and open up old emotional wounds. So now that it's dead again I feel personally responsible. At least i'm not the one who killed it originally though. Thinking about it now, I really didn't stand a chance at saving what she had destroyed.
It looks like the Avengers RP is saving the day again for me. Thank God that the people causing issues in that one left because the people that are still there are great and I don't know what I'd do if this one fell apart too.
but why would you even give him the waterbed

Definition of 'Capitulation'
When investors give up any previous gains in stock price by selling equities in an effort to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines. It usually is indicated by panic selling.
The term is a derived from a military term which refers to surrender.
Investopedia explains 'Capitulation'
After capitulation selling, it is thought that there are great bargains to be had. The belief is that everyone who wants to get out of a stock, for any reason (including forced selling due to margin calls), has sold. The price should then, theoretically, reverse or bounce off the lows. In other words, some investors believe that true capitulation is the sign of a bottom.
