The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day features a deal with the devil!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes pic!
Watching FW Murnau's FAUST at Butt-Numb-A-Thon, complete with live organ music, was a real treat. The famous German expressionist flick deals with a man's deal with the devil and there's some amazing early effects work on display, including the moment that is shown below.
I love this image of Emil Jannings in complete Mephisto get-up standing over the small town, nearly engulfing it with his crazy-ass wings. It's a rather disturbing image that reminds a whole lot of Disney's Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia later on.
Reader Brady Crane submitted this pic and it's a doozy. Hope you enjoy!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I'm looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Holy skin-tight outfit, Batman! Tomorrow's pic is very nice!

Great job, Brady! Nice find. Murnau definitely had a way with things. Even his dragon for the Ring films looked pretty good; no small feat in that day and age.

about a throwaway comment. Dumbasses.
Btw, I did enjoy the pic, and it's a talkback, so I can say whatever I want. Don't like it? There's always the Christian Science Monitor website, lol.

At least I know Star Wars is fake, unlike religious minded people.
Nov. 15, 2010, 4:50 p.m. CST
If you're agnostic, it's practically the same as
by SithMenace
being Christian, since you still believe in the devil. So what are you trying to prove by throwing your agnostic label around? If you had any balls you'd be an Atheist, but since you go around attacking people randomly on the internet for throwaway comments, that's not a surprise.
Nov. 15, 2010, 4:56 p.m. CST
Beautiful image. Inspiring and gorgeous.

Agnostic is the only honest way to be.
by kevred
Not to get into the middle of anyone's pissing match, but...
Really - I don't see how anyone can be anything but agnostic. I mean, who really KNOWS? No one really knows whether or not there's a God, whether all the stuff in the holy books is anywhere near true or real. Or for that matter, how can you prove a negative?
Believing absolutely either for or against, and thinking we have it figured out, is the fairy tale.
All we know is the mystery, and it's a beautiful one.
Nov. 15, 2010, 5:15 p.m. CST
And somone like Geektard Smasher is probably
by SithMenace
too stupid to understand that I was called out for one comment, which singled out no one. I attacked no one, but all of the religious mentalists feel the need to go after someone that doesn't share their beliefs. Read before you type.
Btw, your s/n is trying too hard to compensate for what you and everyone else knows you are. You probably have a small dick and drive a Corvette too, Lol. Now you can all get over your pain that I insinuated that you all base your life around a fairy tale, and get back to talking about the pic.
Nov. 15, 2010, 5:16 p.m. CST

That's an interesting perspective. But I will remain Atheist until I see something that shows me otherwise.

As an pretty solid Agnostic Atheist, I have no issue with your statement other than it seems intended to start a flame war (which it has), my only real problem with your replies is that you equate Agnosticism with a religious belief system ( which it can be, but usually isn't). Your implication seems more aimed at Gnosticism and not Agnosticism.Two VERY different belief systems. Agnostic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism Gnostic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism

As an Atheist I think you are a douche and give all atheist a bad name. You are no better than a crazy Bible Thumper. There is absolutely no reason to inject your personal beliefs into this thread. Its absolutely dumb and egotistical.

You are ALL helping to ruin this talkback, keep it up. And like it was stated in the paragraphs, I was also reminded of the Bald Mountain sequence.

Must see this film now
by Bot-Bot
Thanks BurnHollywood, for the Youtube link. This looks incredible - right up there with Fritz Lang's "Die Nibelungen." I love the visual power of the silent films when tackling great mythological subjects and classic literature.
Nov. 15, 2010, 7:04 p.m. CST
Watched this one
by Dollar Bird
back during undergrad. Good movie. The scene they're making in the pic was the coolest one by far. Great visual.

Sith, I'm an atheist, but what was the point of that?

Just trying to piss people off? I may not believe in the devil, but there is great evil in this world, and he's a perfect embodiment of all that evil.

this pic is on the back cover of the Kino Video DVD
by tilde44
which is highly recommended to all fans of this film. It has a whole gallery of BTS pics & stills.
Nov. 15, 2010, 8:59 p.m. CST
I agree with Kevred
by SierraTangoFoxtrotUniform
To me, being an atheist is pretty close to being Christian in that you're placing belief in something absolute.

Lol, unbelievable that one comment
by SithMenace
not specifically aimed at anyone, caused so many people to mouth off like they did. It looks like I especially got to Geektard_Smasher, without even trying to. Wow, a lot of hurt feelings on this site over one comment.
Sorry Quint, I enjoy your column and had no idea that one comment would cause everyone to hijack your TB. That's why I stopped responding to them.
Nov. 15, 2010, 10:16 p.m. CST
by Rendell
Look, as far as I can see there are 2 possibilities here:

(1) You genuinely didn't realise that it was a dumb thing to say...

or

(2) You were flat out on the wind-up and didn't expect to receive almost universal condemnation, Only now you're having to back pedal!

I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt... but I'm more inclined to believe option 2.
Nov. 15, 2010, 10:26 p.m. CST
Believe what you like Rendell
by SithMenace
Somehow, I'll be able to go on living even if 15 or so people on an internet message board disagree with what I say, Lol.
Nov. 15, 2010, 10:35 p.m. CST
by SithMenace
Way to latch on to what someone else said, complete with Wikipedia links, Lol. However, there are different types of agnosticism, as your buddy's article pointed out. If you're agnostic theist, which I doubt you would admit now anyway even if you were, then I wasn't wrong at all. Even if you're not, I still wasn't wrong.
But please do try to think for yourself next time, instead of latching on to someone else that's fighting your battles for you, lol.
Nov. 15, 2010, 10:43 p.m. CST
Anyway, I'm out of here
by SithMenace
I'm not interested in helping you idiots hijack Quint's TB anymore. To the few of you that were mature enough to respond in a civil way, thank you.

by Rendell
You know sometimes, if you've made a bubo, by putting up your hands and saying "you know what, I fucked up, I'll know better next time. I'm sorry." you'll actually get a bit of respect.

Takes a big man to admit when he screwed up... but making out that it's everyone else's fault for "Not having a sense of humour"... well, thats not going to get you much respect, is it?
Nov. 15, 2010, 11:07 p.m. CST
Some visuals are horrifying
by IamZardoz
this is one of them.
Agnostics are just pussies who can't bring themselves to take the last, logical step on the road to sanity.
 Yeah, like, I guess I can't *prove* prove there's no god. But I also can't prove there's no purple flying turtle behind me that disappears when I look over my shoulder. But I'm pretty fucking sure there's no flying turtle, anyway.
Nov. 16, 2010, 8:16 a.m. CST
Hey look...

It's the story that I took my handle from. Huzzah. Sweet BTS pic!

Agnostics don't believe in the Devil
by TheJudger
Awesome pic by the way Quint. I watched this movie a few years back and was so very amazed with the effects and production values. I remember seeing an original ink cell of the Chernabog at Disneyland back in 1989 and there was either a caption under it or a tour guide exclaiming that it was inspired by this movie. To far back to remember exactly, but the fragment of this personal memory includes this nugget of knowledge provided somehow when I looked at that cell.
 Agnostics don't believe in the Devil. They believe in the inherent Complexities of Desire and Necessity and the Irrational and Destructive acts some people do to fulfill them.

text: He knows he made mistakes. But John thinks that the treatment of him is so unflinchingly horrible and that what he did is not so different from what others did — JFK, Clinton, the whole rogues' gallery. We've had this conversation about his situation, and I remember he did compare it to Clinton. He said, 'I did a horrendous thing, but I don't know why I'm getting such an unforgiving treatment when you think of what other people have done.'New Jersey lawyer (and close friend of John Edwards) Glenn Bergenfield • Discussing the former senator's treatment by the press, which Edwards feels is unfair, according to Bergenfield. Edwards, who fathered a love child out of wedlock while his wife was suffering from cancer, then denied the child was his for a couple of years, is accused of violating campaign contribution laws tied to his 2008 run for president and his affair with Rielle Hunter.

EXPANDING SOUND, 14th April, in which I perform solo with electronics and objects to four films: 'Ten Minutes Older' (Herz Frank, 1978), 'Allerleirauh' (Anja Struck, 2004), 'The Seashell and the Clergyman' (Germaine Dulac, 1928) and 'I Greet You a Thousand Times' (Joachim Koester, 2005).
A THEATRE OF SOUNDS, 19th April, Scenatet performs a programme of chamber works and my new electroacoustic instrumental-theatre work ANGEL VIEW, fresh from its premiere at MaerzMusik in Berlin this month.
MaerzMusik and Scenatet present the world premiere of ANGEL VIEW on 18th March, 7pm at Berghain, Berlin.
ANGEL VIEW was commissioned by Scenatet, Spor Festival and MaerzMusik/Berliner Festspiele, with support from the Danish Arts Foundation, and is published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen.
ANGEL VIEW is an assemblage of urban and musical debris, somewhere between a wordless live radio play, enacted film soundtrack and instrumental theatre.

In decimal systems, kilo stands for 1,000, but in binary systems, a kilo is 1,024 (2 to the 10th power). Technically, therefore, a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, but it is often used loosely as a synonym for 1,000 bytes. For example, a computer that has 256K main memory can store approximately 256,000 bytes (or characters) in memoryat one time.
A megabyte is 2 to the 20th power (approximately 1 million) and a gigabyteis 2 to the 30th power (approximately 1 billion).
In computer literature, kilobyte is usually abbreviated as K or KB. To distinguish between a decimal K (1,000) and a binary K (1,024), the IEEE has suggested following the convention of using a small k for a decimal kilo and a capital Kfor a binary kilo, but this convention is by no means strictly followed.

A Winning Biotechnology Bet
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Amarin (NASDAQ: AMRN) has recently launched its primary product candidate Vascepa into the market. The drug is an omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic which has been approved by the FDA for treatment of high levels of TGT.
A market launch of Vascepa was never part of the plan, investors expected Amarin to cut a multi-billion acquisition deal instead, so everyone could go back home with pockets full of cash.
However, the delay in the NCE (New Chemical Entity) status announcement has been the primary culprit behind the lack of buyers. An NCE status would increase the patent protection of Vacepa, automatically increasing the drugs value to any potential buyer. Therefore, the lack of an NCE status makes it pretty hard for any interested party to value the company.
In a recent move, AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) has acquired Omthera Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OMTH). The acquisition is targeted at controlling Epanova, a product pretty similar to Vascepa. This multi-million deal sheds light on the huge potential of Vascepa and should restore investor confidence in Amarin.
Vascepa is already available in the market, and investors have the scripts data from the first few months.. Although this data is not conclusive to the long term potential of Vascepa, but it's a valid indicator of medium-term share price trends.
The table below shows Vascepa script data for the last four months. While the figures are not extraordinary by means, they do show a consistent rise in sales. This slow start should be expected because any small biotechnology company, trying to commercialize its own drug, always faces a lot of difficulties.
Figure: Vascepa Scripts
The primary rival of Vascepa is a drug manufactured by GSK, branded as Lovaza. GSK acquired the drug from Reliant Pharmaceutical. The Current CEO of Amarin, Joseph S. Zakrzewski marketed the drug for Reliant Pharmaceuticals. The initial sales of Lovaza were not blockbuster, but over the years it has become a billion dollar product. Under the same team, Vascepa has the potential to grow into a blockbuster drug.
The Acquisition
In a highly anticipated move, AstraZeneca has made its first major acquisition for the year. The company recently acquired Omthera Pharmaceuticals for a whopping $ 443 million. The British pharmaceutical giants aims to bolster its cardiovascular portfolio with Omthera's fish oil product, Epanova. According to the company, it plans to combine Crestor with Epanova. A series of trials will be conducted to test the effectiveness of this combination.
There are mixed views on effect of this acquisition on valuations of Amarin. Some argue that the acquisition proves the multi-billion potential of Amarin's Vascepa while other consider Epanova in the hands of AstraZeneca a threat of Vascepa sales.
EPA vs. DHA
Epanova is pretty similar to Lovaza in terms of chemical nature as both drugs are a combination of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). On the other hand, Vascepa only contains the EPA. Epanova takes the lead on both Lovaza and Vascepa when it comes to the patient's ability to absorb the compound. Unlike Vascepa and Lovaza, patients on a low fat diet can easily absorb the drug. This high absorption means that approximately a 5 times lower dose of Epanova is required as compared to Lovaza.
It has long been rumored that EPA is superior to DHA, as the latter is held responsible for a rise in non-HDL cholesterol. HDL (High-density lipoprotein) is the good cholesterol which ensures the reduction in LDL (Low-density lipoprotein). LDL cholesterol circulates your arteries and can build up plaques, which makes arteries narrow and less flexible.
However, the Phase III trial "ESPIRIT" shows that Epanova reduces non-HDL cholesterol levels by almost 7%. Vascepa still has a clear advantage in its control of LDL levels, compared to Epanova and Lovaza. Amarin is also undertaking the 'REDUCE-IT' trial to assess the effects of Vascepa on cholesterol levels of patients.
The acquisition of Epanova should be good news for investors of Amarin. This is another testament to the huge potential of Vascepa. The initial sales data on Vascepa is hopeful and can get another big-pharmaceutical player interested in the drug.
Vascepa has already shown its ability to treat multiple levels of Triglycerides, along with a number of other health benefits. Research shows that EPA can help in type 2 diabetes and some cardiovascular complications created by the disease, such as thickening of carotid arteries and coronary artery disease.
AstraZeneca has paid an 88% premium to the market price of Omthera. If Amarin finds a buyer, the premium can go even higher, especially if we take in to account the wider applications of Vascepa as compared to Epanova. The street expects Vascepa sales to rise to $271 million by the end of 2014. If Amarin goes for a premium in the same range as Omthera, we can get a target price of $13 for the company.

My Kitchen Treat: Little Built-In Cabinet
When I first moved into my 1920s rental apartment, I was horrified by the built-in mirrored cabinet above the sink. Wouldn't it be awkward to stare at myself while doing dishes? Yet this little cupboard unexpectedly became the most joyful feature of my kitchen (and it has nothing to do with vanity!).
Such cabinets are not uncommon in Los Angeles kitchens of this era and most people I know use them to store spice jars. However, after years and layers of paint, the door doesn't fully close, and I am reluctant to keep spices near the moisture and heat of the sink. Instead, I fill the shelves with small cups and bowls, measuring and straining tools, and some of my favorite implements, like miniature funnels and salt spoons.
Opening the cabinet never fails to delight me. Previously I had a very colorful kitchen, so in contrast I painted this one white. But I love seeing the hidden splash of aqua each time I reach for a measuring spoon or espresso cup. Sometimes I treat myself to a peek inside for no reason other than to enjoy the color, the rows of yogurt pots, and the array of beloved tools.
As for the mirror, it reflects the sunshine so beautifully that I don't mind it. Plus, I was relieved to find that dishwashing is done with one's eyes on the task rather than staring straight ahead, so I'm rarely caught checking myself out!

Speaking of yogurt pots, is there a US source??
The glass ones are Spega, and there isnt a US source. Maybe try etsy or ebay?
As for the orange ones, those are St Benoit which is a yogurt company in CA, and as far as I know they are only sold locally in the Oakland/Berkeley/SF area. You buy a yogurt for a few bucks, then return the ceramic pot and get your container deposit back! I kept a few too :)
How cute!
Trader Joes's used to carry Spega yogurt and I may have seen it at Whole Foods. The little glass jars are fantastic. A friend of mine got cork stoppers for them and uses them for spice storage.
I got the Spega Italian yogurt at Trader Joe's many years ago. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they carry it anymore. (I think I used to see it at Gelson's in LA, too.)
For anyone in SoCal, Saint Benoît yogurt is available at the Hollywood farmers' market and Whole Foods. I usually return the pots but couldn't resist keeping a few!

Mar Lyon believes she has been given a "life changing" opportunity.
Lyon, who was born and raised in Thunder Bay, won the fan vote late last week for the final spot on the Toronto Argonauts' cheerleading squad for the upcoming Canadian Football League season.
When she first received word she had won the vote, Lyon was on a bus in Waterloo and was immediately overcome by tears.
"I don't think it was the fact that I got the spot on the team but I think it was just the thought of the overwhelming support I got from the people of Thunder Bay and my friends down south," Lyon said when reached by telephone on Monday.
She received nearly 20,000 votes during the voting period, which ran from March 30 through to April 4.
"It was an incredible feeling. I'm so happy for her," said her father Rob Lyon.
"I was very pleased that Thunder Bay was behind her."
Story continues after video...
After going through a rough patch last year, the large amount of support was particularly meaningful for the 20-year-old.
A heavy course load at the University of Waterloo, where she is pursuing an Honours degree in Drama, combined with being away from her hometown, resulted in Lyon suffering from depression.
She remembers one period where she went through the contact list on her phone but could not find anybody she was comfortable reaching out to.
At first she was disappointed that she had to go through the wild card vote but all of the encouragement and backing she had made the experience more fulfilling.
"I can't even put words to it. I honestly feel like a rock star. People I didn't even know where contacting me on Facebook, telling me they had voted for me and were supporting me," she said.
"It's life changing."
Cheerleading is an activity Lyon has enjoyed dating back to her elementary school days at Ecole Gron Morgan before being a member of a Hammarskjold Vikings squad that won a pair of national high school cheerleading championships.
Initially, she auditioned for a spot on the Argonauts just for the sake of giving it a shot, not expecting to make it. Lyon had spent nearly three years rehabilitating a significant shoulder injury and was just looking for an avenue to get back into dancing.
"Once I was in the audition I felt like I came to life again," she said. "Something I was passionate about that was taken away from me was brought back. I really tried to put all my effort into that audition and I made it into the finals, much to my surprise."
She has been working as a choreographer and actor in the Kitchener-Waterloo area while attending school and has been involved in many productions. After completing her degree she plans on pursuing education to teach theatre.
While Lyon can't wait to take be on the sidelines at the Rogers Centre for the Argonauts first home game, there are many other aspects of her role that brings her excitement.
"It's great that I'm going to be able to be part of that community and support a Canadian team," she said.
"The Argonauts are part of so many different charities and foundations, for example their breast cancer awareness week, so for me to be part of this team, not only take the field to support the players and have a great fan base, but give back to Toronto and Ontario personally through donating and volunteering is special.
She just hopes the Argonauts have more success on the field than a certain Toronto hockey team had on the ice.

Who knew that saving a life can create romance?...
Alyssa Bennett didn't. When irresponsibly leaving home at night, she discovers a teenage boy being attacked by two suspicious men.
Since she is a demon hunter, saving lives is just an automatic instinct.
But when she is done fighting the men, she realizes the boy is unconscious. When he wakes up, he mistakes Alyssa for being his girlfriend named Sarah.
Now she has no choice but to take him home with her.
Alyssa's Point of View
I shouldn't have even been out that night. I was feeling a bit more vengeance towards my fellow demon hunters than usual.
The darkness of the night sky had seemed especially soothing tonight, with just a tad of fog hitting the city streets. I was in the mood for a party, just to let myself loose for a while. Ever since Agnes died, Liam and I have taken charge over the twins and Dylan. So I deserve a break.
I noticed the club that Agnes and Liam took me to when I turned sixteen, The City, was next to where I was standing.
I was about to walk right in, but I was interrupted by shouting and yelling. I let my hair out of its high pony tail because it was hurting my head.
I walked towards the alley where the racket was coming from. I saw two strange men attacking another man, no, a teenager.
I had to save him now.

The Civil Wars
Third Person POV
Everyone had been most concerned about Cassia. She was the most injured of everyone. Well besides Jared, who everyone assumed was dead. Hazel and Opal had been surrounding her with medicines and ice, but nothing seemed to be working.
"Cassia, fight through this, please," Hazel grasped her hand, and held it close. "You are strong Cassia, don't let go now." Hazel bit her lip at her friend who was in a coma. Cassia's eyes weren't opening, but she let out a cough.
"James!" Opal shouted, wanting him to see his wife. James rushed in.
"Jared isn't dead." She barely made out the words. "He's invincible." Her breathing slowed slightly.
"Edward killed him." Hazel tried assuring her.
"Then he's a faker. I knew all along that he was—" Cassia rasped, and she was about to say evil. But it was too late. Cassia had passed.
Opal looked at James sorrowfully. He looked back, ready to cry. Hazel couldn't look at either of them. She could only stare at Cassia's eyes that were sealed shut, never to open again. Hazel released her grip on Cassia's hand, and let it drop over the side of the sofa.
"Let's bury her; I don't want the girls to see her like this." Hazel gulped, Opal and James nodded.
Hazel and James's strong arms carried Cassia's corpse to the back of the Academy. Opal picked up a shovel. She handed it to her husband, Mason, who came rushing over from the side of the school building.
"I don't have the heart to bury my best friend." Opal sobbed as she handed it to him. Mason bit his lip and began to dig. James was getting slightly anxious, and Hazel's facial expression was unreadable.
"Where's Edward?" James asked, hesitating from letting go of Cassia.
"He's still recovering from killing Jared. He still got hit with that fire sphere pretty hard. Jared was working with dark demon hunters after all." Hazel answered, still expressionless.
Finally they released Cassia into her grave. James helped toss some dirt over her body, Hazel did as well. They finally patted it down and found a stone with nothing carved in it. James did the carving, while Opal and Hazel got flowers.
Cassia Evelyn Weiss-Bennett: Beloved Wife, Mother, & Friend. The headstone was placed into the ground. In tears, Opal placed a mix of tulips and daisies on the grave. Hazel put some roses and a few lavenders next to those. After that, none of them said anything; they just sort of stood, remembering her. They remembered her beauty and grace, and how much she'd done for all of them.
"It's kind of funny, how Cass and Jared practically died together." James surprisingly spoke up first.
"Mm. It shows how they may have been destined to be together." Mason answered.
After that it got really quiet, more silent than before. Then slowly everyone walked away. Hazel stayed last. "I'll take care of Alyssa. Don't you worry." She whispered, and followed everyone else into the Academy manor.
"Hey Jared! Successful mission and nice fake death!" One of the younger dark demon hunters said to him.
"Thank you Cedric. Any news on deaths on the other side?" Jared asked him. It wasn't like he cared, well, except maybe for Cassia, even James, but if anyone else died he would laugh.
"Oh! Rumor has it Cassia Bennett died because of our attempt to kill James. They buried her today!" Cedric was excited, but Jared wasn't. His worst fears had come true. Perhaps, his only true love is now dead.
"Cedric, I have to get some air." Jared spoke briefly, and headed toward the door. Cedric blocked it.
"Are you crazy? If they see you you're busted! Besides, you should be celebrating Cassia's death, not mourning it! Have a beer!" Cedric cheered. "It's not as if you still have feelings for her!" Cedric laughed, and Jared gave him a cold and stern look.
"Oh." Cedric responded. "Go right ahead sir." Cedric bowed slightly, and turned away from the door.
Jared grabbed a cloak with a dark hood, and headed out, this way he wouldn't be seen in the dark night.
He rushed to the Academy, and found Cassia's grave easily. He breathed slowly and stared at the letters on the headstone. Cassia Evelyn Weiss-Bennett. Jared hadn't known what had gotten into him, but he began to scratch at the letters that said Bennett. Was he jealous? Jealous of James Bennett? Please, he was Jared Withers, the all-powerful. He was distracted by Mason Burke walking outside. Damn. He'd have to run. He began to run, but Mason rushed after him.
"Stay away from that grave!" Mason shouted.
"I'll do as I please!" Jared answered, not turning around.
"Who are you? Remove your hood!" Mason shouted. Jared grabbed a weapon. He turned around and removed his hood. Mason looked at him in shock.
"That's right Mason. I'm alive!" He whispered, and Mason was frozen. "Later 'buddy'." Jared said, and stabbed Mason in the heart with the Withers blade. He heard footsteps coming toward them.
Jared put on his cloak and ran away, never turning back.
"NO!" Opal screamed when she saw Mason's dead body. "Who could have done this?" She looked up at Hazel who was rubbing her shoulders.
"I don't know honey, I really don't." Hazel spoke in a low tone of voice. This war was getting to be bloody.
Opal's sobs grew louder as she banged against the ground crying. Hazel ran her fingers through Opal's hair, shushing her. Mason had been buried earlier that evening. Opal hadn't stopped crying since.
It had been nine months since Mason's death, and everyone was still torn. Opal had been diagnosed with a sickness of the mind, she was going crazy. She couldn't even see her own daughter, Agnes, without ripping something to shreds. Opal hadn't fought anything since her diagnosis.
Opal heard a loud bang and she jumped. She saw fire coming into the house, and she squirmed away from it. "Opal!" James shouted, running through the fire. "Opal! The dark demon hunters threw a bomb! We have to go!" He shouted.
"No…I burn with the Academy." Opal shook back and forth.
"Opal, I can't leave you behind, let's go!" James shouted, grabbing her arm.
She was too heavy for him to carry with her resisting his pull. "James, hurry!" Edward yelled. James looked from Opal to Edward to the fire. "I'm so sorry." James whispered to Opal, and he released her hand and rushed away.
Opal was dead.
James, the children (including Dylan), and the Raveners were running from the explosion of flames coming from the Academy.
"How much further can we run?" Hazel asked, slowing a little, feeling weak.
"We'll have to escape to Earth. It's safest for the children." James answered, and he looked into the distance. "Look, a portal is already open!" He shouted, and they rushed toward it, Hazel holding Dylan, and Edward grasping tightly to Alyssa and Agnes.
Many of the dark demon hunters had similar ideas. They were going through the portal. Others stayed to watch the burning of Evane. Hazel and Edward immediately started climbing the tree to get through the portal.
James climbed soon behind him, but something—someone was grabbing his leg. He turned to find a man in a black cloak. They both fell backwards to the ground.
"JAMES!" Hazel screamed.
"GO!" James shouted, but he was surrounded by the cloaked man and the surviving dark demon hunters. Hazel rushed through the portal, and then the portal closed.
The man's hood had fallen off when he and James fell from the tree. James was slightly shocked.
"Jared?" He asked. "I thought you were dead." James said.
"Well I'm not." Jared answered.
The dark demon hunters dragged James away, and Jared smirked. They went back to the caves where the dark demon hunters had been staying.
"I have a special idea for your death James. If I kill you, you'll go to heaven and be happy. If I leave you alive, sure, you'll suffer, but eventually you'll die, and I can't allow that." Jared smirked, and James could only stare at him. "Mind if I use a little spell?" Jared asked, but James couldn't answer.
"Non nunquam mortui, sed non vivit. Aeternum vivere in in astral planum usque in die mori." Jared said the spell with a passion of death and pain that no one else could possibly have.
James began to fade into the astral plane. "Bye-bye." Jared smiled, and watched him disappear.
Jared looked at his fellow dark demon hunters. "Boys," he began smiling, "Let's go down to Earth." He laughed, and they began to re-open a portal.
Okay, so the chapter is a bit deadly,
Okay, very bloody.
Did you want more detail =P.
Leave questions, comments, and predictions.
Very dramatic chapter! It also explains what happened to many members of the older generation, including Alyssa's parents! Can't wait to see what happens next!
Haha, thanks! I was hoping for that =)
I liked it. Write more soon.
Yay, I will.
wow I was not expecting that. Poor Cassia :( her death sucks. I hate Cedric, he's such a jerk. How would he feel if he was dead and no one was mourning his death. I am confused about Jared, if he was all bad then surely he would not be mourning or would he? Mhh.And poor Opal as well.

Chowhounding and nutrition [Moved from General Topics]
How do you strike a balance between good chowhounding and good nutrition? Many years of indulging in rich foods like duck, pork, fried chicken and the like, has lead to some cholesterol issues for me. I have always maintained a fairly balanced diet including lots of fresh veggies and fruit, but have not always been able to exercise great restraint when confronted with a great foie gras preparation.
Personally, I have embarked on a 21-day detoxification program for starters. And, I am making a conscious effort to look and menus more healthfully. I will try the halibut instead of the pork chop, even though I enjoy pork more.
Just curious as to what other 'hounds do. How do you keep from eating with reckless abandon? I know the simple answer is to exercise more discipline, but I'm interested in hearing your collective thoughts.....
re: Robert Lauriston
I think that's a great rule - plus regular exercise
re: pescatarian
Oh yeah. I average around an hour of exercise a day.
re: Robert Lauriston
Exactly... plus hounding to me is a hobby, something I enjoy... if I did it all the time, I would burn out and would have to invest in a new woredrobe. So we have plenty of borning but healthy meals (Almost every lunch and breakfast we have) and then splurge a few times a week...)
re: Dommy
Well put. And remember, there is plenty of lean pork available now. At my place we try to eat a lot of poultry, fish occassionally, I've been trying to use whole grains instead of all refined flour stuff (but I still hate wholewheat pasta), and of course lots of vegs and fruits (thatpart is easy, love fruits and vegs). Use less fat when you cook, olive oil is good for you, but you don't need as much as most recipes will tell you to use. It's not so bad, really, and you will feel much better. Think how much more you will appreciate that occassional pork chop! Oh, and eat oatmeal, it is supposed to help lower your cholestrol. But don't torture yourself either, if you don't get any pleasure out of eating, you will have trouble sticking to it. Stay away from cheese for a while, I never keep it in the house. That's harder for some people than it is for me though. One more tip, citrus is your friend...use it instead of butter (Oh I know, it's so hard!) on vegs so they don't taste flat and blah.
That's a good question.
I try to eat fish several times a week, try to substitute fruit (peaches/melons/berries) for sugary desserts, drink skim milk, rarely drink alcohol (occasionally Scotch) or coffee (but one cup of caffeinated soda per workday), swim. I do what I can. Hopefully that will compensate for my excesses with chocolate, bacon, etc.
Exercise is my vital element every morning. That and a bowl of oatmeal or cream of wheat. I actually feel tired if I miss a morning at the gym.
I really try to watch what I eat during the work week, and I let it all hang out on the weekend.
But a daily exercise routine has been working for me.
I eat in moderation just about all the time. I seldom pig out on very rich foods simply because I can't eat much of it. I love fresh vegetables and fruit and always have these as a big part of my diet. We eat a lot of fish, seafood and vegetarian foods. I try to exercise, though work sometimes supercedes that.
I'm not sure how much damage is done by saturated fats. I grew up eating a fair amount of pork and food cooked in pork fat. My cholesterol count is low and HDL/LDL ratio high. I think processed foods, particularly refined sugars, are more harmful, but that's mostly JMO.
re: cheryl_h
There's no question that the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils found in many processed foods are far worse for you than any natural fat, even butter or lard. I started a topic about that on the Not About Food board:
Cooking at home helps me keep things in moderation; I control the fat, sodium, sugar, etc. in whatever I'm cooking. Plus, I decide what to cook, so beef and pork are rarely used. Staying active each day and controlling my own portions has worked pretty well for me so far...I eat dinner on a sandwich plate, not a dinner plate.
re: Val
Yes, that's my strategy too, not that there aren't also times when I overindulge at home :) But you're right about controlling ingredients and portion size, and it's nice to have the flexibility to eat whatever combinations appeal at the time. Last night I had arugula and cherry tomato salad with a glass of good champagne, and I was happy.
Plus, starting to prepare dinner right away is the best way I've found to head off that bad impulse of getting home tired and mindlessly grazing from the fridge.
1. Know your portions (weigh them until you can identify by eye) and their nutritional values; keeping a diary is a huge help (cheap software is abundant on the Web). Chains and packaged foods can be a help to newbies on this, because it's easier to calculate info. Asian restaurants are the one thing I tend to avoid now, because the oil factor is so immensely easy to hide and therefore immensely difficult to calculate; and I do not go out to restaurants to eat steamed veggies and fish.
2. No type of food as such is bad (unless you have religious scrictures on food, food is a-moral); so eat what you want in moderation, keeping in mind #1. Treating foods as "bad" tends to make you want more of them.... Food is not a penance unless you voluntarily adopt it as one for other spiritual reasons.
3. Exercise regularly (5-6 days a week).
4. Do not regret the past or worry about the future; focus on today.
5. Be patient. There are no quick fixes that are sustainable (and the ones that seem more worthwhile only work for reasons other than those specified -- like simply eliminating large food groups that you love, which means you will eat less, but you could do that using #1 above and eat all types of food you love....). None. None. None. Got that? People make oodles of money trying to sell such fixes, and they are only helping themselves.
6. If you are tempted by gimmickry, you must work with your doctor or, ideally, a registered dietician, to avoid damage to your system (e.g., kidneys) that can be hidden for years without symptoms.
re: Karl S
Exercise regularly but don't wear yourself out. I work out at a bodybuilding gym and they say more than 3 days a week it too much. But that probably doesn't apply to other forms of exercise. Still, do as much as you can, but don't feel you are failing if you don't do it 5-6 times a week.
re: prunefeet
No more than 3 days a week with HIT, which is how these body builders get so LEAN and build muscles... Most people don't even use heart rate monitors when working out... and are doing "moderate" excersise (I also go to a specialized gym, but for the squishy executive crowd. I see it all the time where the trainers push and people are surprised at what they are being asked to do and when they actually do it!!) which for results require more than 3 days...
re: prunefeet
HIT is High Intensity Training. The idea is to work in intervals where you are constantly pushing your upper heart rate limit.
I do interval training in my running. Run like mad to get up to upper rate, then jog to get rate down, then Run and get and even higher rate, then jog, then RUN and get even higher... There are lots of ways to use HIT in both cardio and lifting menthods. Because you are really working your muscles and heart to the MAX, it's best to take a rest day (hence the 3 day cycle during the week). But again, this is HARD core training and should be done with a trainer or with a program done by a trainer. Also, the book Body for Life has a simple run down on how use HIT to get maximum results.
re: prunefeet
There was no "reply" button on your reply below, Dommy, so I'm replying here. Ok, thanks for the response! You are way more hardcore than I. My husb used to be a certified personal trainer, and he trains me, but I don't let him train me too hard, and since he IS my husband, I am able to say NO, I am not doing another rep! But I do pretty well, seriously. Bravo to you for your dedication. I bet your heart is in great shape! As for the 3 times a week thing, the guys in the gym and my husb agree that you have to give your muscles a day of rest to recover after being pushed hard. Works for me, I can't commit more than 3 evenings a week anyway! Ok, I know this is not a fitness forum, I'll hang it up. But thanks!
re: prunefeet
I try to swim an hour a day, six days a week. I am very large, so I am not fast, about 1.2 miles an hour. And I add walking (3mph) on top of that. Due to prior leg fractures/ligament tears, I cannot go much faster without risk of falling because I tend to lose balance and trip (I lost some sensation in my ankle that I've never recovered).
The last thing I need is to build muscle; I've got an extra 90 lbs of muscle on me from the days I did weights exercises; my muscular therapist assures me it's all there and that my intramuscular fat has virtually vanished.
The current recommendations for people who are trying to keep weight off are at least 5-6 hours a week of moderate exercise.
re: Karl S
I stand corrected.
Portion control, calorie counting, and so on take too much fun out of life. So long as I can keep my weight under control with exercise, forget it.
Give me liberty or give me death.
Some components of cholesterol are sensitive to carbs (esp. triglycerides) and others to the type of oils you eat. It's difficult to generalize, but the most dramatic changes seem to result from severely cutting "high glycemic" carbs, adding moderate exercise, and shifting fat consumption toward monounsaturates (e.g., olive oil) and fish fats. No need to renounce pork chops if you're at the place that does the best pork chop for miles around. Just trade off something else (like french fries) that offers "comfort fat" without all that much actual pleasure. And maybe pop a fish oil capsule while you're at it. ;-)
(P.S. I need to lose 20 pounds and I don't exercise regularly, so I know a little of the problem. Fortunately, though, cholesterol is not an issue, at least not so far!)
Something to think about is whether or not you have any other health issues. If you haven't gained a lot of weight, if your cholesterol levels are simply elevated and if there isn't anything else wrong then why make yourself miserable by completely changing your diet?
Just cut back a bit on portions, replace some of the simple carbs with green vegetables and go for a short walk every day. After all, the increase in your cholesterol level might simply be part of your genetic make-up, not due to what you've been eating.
What kind of detoxification program?? Not eating slows your metabolism to a crawl. Not good.
Portion control, eat low fat most of the time, and exercise regularly! Get that heart rate up.
Nothing new, but I guess the best diet is one that includes a good variety of fruits, vegetables of different colors, whole grains and lean protein, good fats like canola or olive oil, nuts and hard cheese instead of soft. I try to avoid eating anything "white" like rice, bread or refined sugar and make it to the gym at least 3 times a week.
I also recently made a rule to only eat half of what is on my plate whenever I eat at a restaurant, and take the rest home or give it to a friend. Portion sizes are so crazy in America. It became impossible to avoid the fact that at most meals I was in fact eating for two (and I'm not pregnant!).
re: bolletje
Hard cheese vs. soft is not a nutritionally meaningful distinction.
Canola oil tastes bad. Eating that crap is going way too far.
I needed to lose weight and start exercising. I started going to Curves 3 times a week when one opened near where I work and I lost the excuse that it was hard to get to a gym. When a 6 week diet program was offered, I did that and learned to change my eating habits. The diet book offers a lot of guidance that starts off with a 1 week 1200 calorie plan to boost your metabolism and then a 1600 calorie/day diet. Basically we stopped having easy to cook peas and microwaved baked potato so frequently. I learned that I could eat plenty of food. I had thought dieting met starving. I do not stay on this diet 100 percent but have managed a significant and necessary weight loss in the past year. I've learned to love apples (hurrah for Galas) but I rarely eat potato. I will enjoy a restaurant meal (the first week on my diet we went on a culinary tour of Boston's North End and there was no way I was going to skip the pastry shop!) but most of my meals are much higher in vegetables and fruits than in the past. Salads are huge (3 cups of lettuce plus the other stuff) but I have learned to love the homemade vinegarette. I've been told the Curves diet is similar to what a diabetic would eat, 3 meals plus 2 snacks. I'm actually eating more than I used to but a snack might be an apple and a piece of string cheese. So I've lowered my carb in-take. Right now, since it's the best time of the year for fresh sweet corn, I'm eating too many carbs but I'll recover. We are eating smaller portions of meat and more fish. My husband's nutritionist recommends pork tenderloin and we have buffalo instead of hamburgers. I buy Cooking Light magazine and love to experiment with recipes. Moosewood's Low Fat Cookbook and Daily Specials are a wonderful source of interesting recipes. There are 4 places in my area that sell homemade ice cream ... I just don't have it often. We still have onion rings with our lobster rolls but I'll have more salads at lunch time to compensate.
Channel your obsessions!
I lost about 60 pounds on weight watchers 3-4 years ago, and the emphasis on portion control and keeping track of what you eat is essential. When i started, a friend of mine (someone with a naugahyde palate) said, "The problem with weightwatchers is that you have to think about what you are eating all the time." My reaction was "Bingo!" i was already thinking about what I was eating all the time, and my guess is that most of the rest of you posting on these boards are doing it as well. i found that losing weight merely involved being obsessed with food in different ways. I am not recommending Weight Watchers per se, just using it as an example of one way of rechanneling your obsessions.
In terms of practical tips, much of what has already been posted gets to the core of changes that are needed, esp portion control, excercise, and keeping track of what you eat. A few things to add:
--You can eat whatever you want, just not as much as you want.
--The fifth bite is not necessarily any better than the first or second. Focus on enjoying those.
--Go out in groups and talk-- this works great in asian restaurants. Share a lot of dishes, taste a bit of them all, and talk alot. You will eat less.
--Eat your veggies; lots of veggies. I found that when steaming got tiresome, oven and panroasting (in a nonstick skillet) works great.
--Fitting into new clothing is a different kind of physical enjoyment than eating, but not necessarily a lesser one.
I posted about this a while back (on the old Not About Food) while I was not working and not doing much of anything except chowhounding and home cooking chowhounding, as well as getting in my last vacation of chowhounding before I went to grad school.
I hate to say this, but if you are inclined to have a large appetite, the only thing you can do to keep from gaining weight is to think about things other than food. Become more busy, more involved with work or your family or whatever else, and you will end up eating less.
Also, save the really great cookathons for once or twice a week and don't eat processed foods, any kind of snack, and try to avoid restaurant chain entrees (Hello HCFS anyone? it is an appetite stimulant IMHO).
I train for marathons, teach fitness and walk instead of drive a car. I love food and luckily I love exercise as well.
You HAVE to know what you are eating, in terms of what it does to your body and the quality of the ingredients. And moderation is key. I indulge, fairly regularly in drinking alcohol, eating desserts etc., but I pick and choose when, where and with whom. When it becomes and every day occurence is when I start to put on weight and feel sluggish.
I work out most days. About 2 hours of fairly high intensity cardio to get rid of about 1600 calories. Some days I burn up to 3500 calories in the gym alone. I think this helps the most. The rest of the day I try to move around as much as possible. I eat several servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. I eat rich food too, cheese especially. I eat fish once or twice a week. I don't avoid high cholesterol foods although I never felt the need to eat a 24 oz steak all at once or drink a stick of butter. I rarely drink sugary drinks. I prefer to eat my calories, not to drink them. I like wines but I hardly ever drink any because alcohol makes me very hot and sweaty and then makes me very sleepy soon after. I try to keep my weight between 120 and 125. When I get lazy and not work out, it does go up to 130 quickly, at that point, I sorta lose my appetite, then the weight gain slows down. My blood pressure is 108 over 40-60. It actually changes quite a lot. My pulse rate is quite slow, 38-50 at rest. My breath rate is 3 to 4 a min at most. I don't know my cholesterol, I hope it is ok. I am usually quite energetic throughout the day, but when it comes to bed time I tend to fall asleep so fast it feels like passing out. My eating schedule is very bad. I almost never have any breakfast because I hate doing cardio with a full stomach. And frankly, if I don't head straight to the gym right after i wash up in the morning, I always always end up not going. There is simply no way out of it. Fortunately I never ever feel hungry in the morning. I eat very little lunch and light snacks throughout the day and then for dinner I pretty much go all out. Dinner is followed by lots of fruits and then a fair amount of cheese. After that I have some sweet dessert (as if cheese and fruits aren't desserts already, lol). It is summer time, my dessert usually consists of half sorbet half ice cream. When it gets colder, I enjoy a slice of pie or whatever. And finally, I snack on whatever chips I find tasty, even random cold cuts and bread / olive oil. til I finally go to bed.
I love all sorts of food - even though I don't usually eat a large portion of any one particular kind, I eat so many different things that the calories really add up. There is no way to naturally burn up all the calories without staying active. I see no way out of the 2 hour a day cardio which I some days love and some days hate.
I don't see chowhounding as bad for you. Yes, that half a roast duck I shared with D at HKE last Friday was probably "bad" according to most people, but it was delicious and I loved it. Then again, I don't eat a 1/4 of a duck every day.
I think what was said above about moderation and movement is pretty head on. I'm a runner and run 5-6 mornings each week. I also live in a city, so I walk everywhere. A typical weekday menu looks like this for me:
Breakfast: Organic plain yogurt & fruit
Lunch: Salad w/various veggies, cheese & wasa with no dressing
Snack: Piece of fruit or cup of berries (whatever's in season)
Dinner: Piece of fish & veggies (maybe a starch or grain of some sort it I have it around)
Dessert: Cheese & Fruit or homemade baked good or ice cream
I don't eat low fat or "diet" foods, sodas or anything processed. I drink alcohol and eat chocolate & cheese - why deny yourself such pleasures?
We eat out 1 or 2 times a week - usually something I don't want to make at home (Korean, Indian, sushi) and once a month we go out for a high-end meal. I don't limit my menu choices because it's a treat and I want to eat what I want to eat.
My last check up found me in perfect health - things that others have mentioned like low cholesterol and on the low end of the healthy body weight for my height. If your physician says you are in good health, why change what you do?

The Horde having less early zones actually made sense, with their 3 main groups being one zone apart. They could have fixed this by knocking out part of the wall and turning Desolace into a Tauren zone, but no.
"That has been accomplished, and the designers have hinted pretty strongly that the next step involves the Alliance, reacting to an attack on Theramore, uniting strongly behind Varian Wrynn and going on offense against a divided Horde."
We heard the same hints about reacting to the Broken Front, Southshore, Ashenvale, Darkshore, Gilneas, Stromgarde, and more.. our reaction to Wrathgate got taken out of the game after they screwed up the timeline between expansions, and Varian got to have a stalemate against Garrosh, in a book. Briefly. Not reflected at all in the game.
"The storyline is ongoing. For a long time, the alliance was ascendant. Now the Horde is. It looks like soon it will go the other way. But if you can't handle your side ever being on the ropes, it might be tough to take."
It'd help if they weren't writing the story into a corner.. unless the Horde 'pull an Andorhal' and go home on the brink of victory, we'll need some idiotic Deus Ex cliff-hanger. Probably involving Rhonin training an army of Kobolds, juggling candles.
"I play both sides, though my main is Horde. I didn't get upset in Vanilla, when the central story lines all came out of the Alliance (why was I killing Onyxia, again?)."
If you have to ask why you're killing an evil Black Dragon who lives one zone away from Orgrimmar before she can gain too much power, why bother killing any raid boss?
" I didn't get upset in Wrath, when all the major npcs were Alliance (Bolvar) or former Alliance (Arthas, Tirion)." Except the Horde leaders still got face time. Sylvanas was front and centre (until ICC, for some reason) and they started building up Garrosh as a genius leader (despite having the brains of a broken shoe). The Dwarven council apparently have zero issues, Malfurion chases some Naga and then disappears until Firelands (because why would the Archdruid care about Ashenvale) Tyrande showed Greymane around his new tree, Velen and Geblin are playing Portal 2 co-op somewhere, and Varian makes us take Anduin on a play-date... gee, Blizzard were totally serious about building up the stakes for both sides.

Lately I have been losing motivation to work out and try as hard. School is just so stressful and I really don't have a lot of time to myself, and when I do have free time I am so exhausted all I want to do is literally sleep or read a book.
Would it be bothersome to ask you guys to maybe leave some words of motivation in my ask for me?
It has been a rough new years start as far as school goes, and I'm trying my best to stay positive (which I have so far! :3) , but i just need a push to go workout and make time to take care of my body.
I need to go to bed now, but please. if anyone happens to read this i really need the encouragement.
Stay strong lovelies <3 you all are beautiful and can do this (:
goodnight all!
BUT im not stopping because i feel "sore" from so much exercise. i am kicking it off first thing by doing some weights and cardio before i have to go to a bonfire tonight. im heading to get some frozen yogurt (im doing this a lot lately) with a friend that i have not seen in a few months so i am very excited <3 (:
im also learning that food is not your enemy. im not feeling terrible after every sweet i eat. food is meant to be enjoyed, not to be feared. learn moderation, and its fine !
Also note: if you hate your body during the journey, the end will prove no different.
Workout today:
I. Am. So. Freaking. Tired.
I know I did this the other day but I didn't get too many answers. MY DASH IS DEAD!! I need some new people to follow.
Love this!
- Write "ABS" in my Ask box = 10 crunches
- Write "LEGS" = 10 squats
- Write "ARMS" = 10 push up
- Write "PLANK" = 1 minute plank
my ask wasnt on before (fail) now GO GO GO :D
