After having the ring get lost in the mail, and waiting nearly a month to finally get another one, I have to say that I am very happy with it. I placed my own solitaire diamond engagement ring in it rather than the one that came with it. Everyone thinks that it's real :)
By Kika, located in North Richland Hills, Tx
Recommends this item:
This is the ring that I ordered, but due to my mail carrier's mistake never received!!! Someone else now has this ring and I am TRYING to get another one sent to me...I am mad that I paid for something that I never received!! I think that they need to ship it through FedEx or something so that way the product will be delivered to your door. If I don't get a replacement sent to me, I will never use this site again and I will be going to court to get my money back!!!
By Veronica, located in West Palm Beach, FL
Recommends this item:
I was so surprised when I saw this set on the site; it looks so much like my real wedding set. I had to order it. I got it a few days ago and I put it on in place of my real set. No one noticed the difference. I have since put my ring set away. It's nice to know I can find a replacement if I ever lose my ring.

I received the ring today and wasn't impressed!! The coating on the silver was poor and not smooth it has waves in the ring and catching pieces of extra coating. I will be returning this item in the morning and don't think I will be ordering anything wlse from inspired silver.

By Happy Customer!, located in Ypsilanti, MI
Recommends this item:
I looooove this ring. It looks 100% real. The only problem for me is the way it fits together, my skin gets caught in between the inner and outer rings. I have gotten so many compliments on this ring, wish I could wear. I am buying another ring from Inspired Silver due to how realistic these cz's appear.

I love this ring. My husband bought it for me. It came in the mail today. My sister in law has worked at a Jewelers for years and when I opened that box she had no clue it wasn't real diamonds. The stones are the perfect size to look like you spent a fortune. Only the Hubby and I know the truth, and we're not telling! It also comes with a really nice heart shaped black velvet box.

I bought this ring a couple of months ago & the center ring doen't fit properly in between the 2 outside rings & stuff get's caught on the outside rings.. it's kinda sharp. =[[ Not happy, but already had it sized so I'm stuck with it! AGH!
Stunning quality!
By vanessa, located in medford, OR
Recommends this item:
I use this ring for daily wear vs my real wedding band that I only wear on special occasions because of multiple reasons. This ring is amazing quality. When I tell people it's not my real band and how much I paid they go into shock and doubt me because the ring looks quite convincing. My husband is a little upset he didn't find this site prior to our wedding several yrs ago because it would have saved him quite a bit! Ha!
I love this ring.
By Kathie, located in Amarillo, TX
Recommends this item:
The Estelle set is gorgeous. It is very realistic looking and appears to be a very expensive ring. I have had no problems with the finish or stones. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. I just love it.
I loved the ring BUT
By DONN, located in FRANKLIN, PA
Recommends this item:
I was so excited when I got the ring it was stunning. But after wearing it only a few times the band looks horrible. It is all discolored.
By vanessa, located in valencia, ca
Recommends this item:
This is by far the most believable fake band ever. I purchased this band for my day to day use and set my real band aside for special occasions. They almost look exactly alike! This is a great investment for someone who does not want to spend a fortune on a real ring. My husband and I joked that it would have been better if we saw this site 10 years ago! :)
By GIENA, located in INDIANA
Recommends this item:
I got this ring right after we got married this last July and it was to go with my actual wedding band and looked great for about 2-1/2 months, now it's tarnished and they want to replace it, but I am afraid the same thing will happen again, I wear this as my wedding set, I don't know if I should chance it or not, I love the ring, just not the fact that it's now tarnished, I buy quite a bit of jewelry from Inspired since I found them, this is just one problem????
Breath Taking!!

By Beth, located in Mid-Michigan
Recommends this item:
I only have a plain band as my wedding ring, and wanted some "bling" to show off, so I got this for my second anniversary. It's gorgeous and I love the reaction I get when people see it. It's a little bigger than I expected, but not by much. It's exactly what I wanted.
Not happy
By tracy, located in newark ca
Recommends this item:
This ring was awsome the first 2 days I wore it. After the first 2 days the band became very dull and lost its shine resembles a tin can, I took it off and refuse to put it back on.
By Susan , located in Lincoln, DE
Recommends this item:
The day that I put this on, I started getting comments. My sister in law could not believe her brother did so well in picking out a new wedding set for me. She thought he paid a good bit of money for it. She nearly didn't believe me when I told her how much I actually paid for it. I have had several people comment on it. The only thing I don't really like on it is the little "strips" that hold the two outside bands together. They were annoying at first, but you get used to them.
Georgous Ring
By Janette, located in Columbis Station, OH
Recommends this item:
Very pretty ring. When I recieved it, I put it on and haven't taken it off since. Even though you said it it should be the last thing you put on and first thing to take off. I just hoping it looks this pretty in a year from now.
Love it!!!
By Susan, located in Lincoln, DE
Recommends this item:
I have a diamond that has been handed down through my family. My husband and I had it reset and used it in our wedding, then put it away for safe keeping. I saw this and fell in love. I didn't think it would look as real as it does. I figured that it would just be good enough to wear around and if something happened to it... no big deal. However, everybody that sees thinks it is real and asks if my husband got it as an anniversary gift for me. I just smile. Definitely recommend it and have told several people to visit this web site. Oh, I ordered it and had it within a few days. I am very pleased.

By Judy, located in Marietta, OH
Recommends this item:
No can tell that it is not the real thing. I wear it in place of my wedding set that I feel to self consious to wear because of its expense. I have gotten so many compliments on it, I told my husband he should have bought me this versus the real thing and we could have saved a boat load of Money.
By Tessia, located in Dallas, TX

Deceptive and Beautiful!
By Tanya , located in Salem, MO
Recommends this item:
I bought this ring after I developed an allergy to my wedding ring and it was lost. It's a very convincing ring, everyone who sees it says my husband must have paid a high price for it. I just smile, haha! The one downside I find is that it's much larger than I had hoped. I'm more into smaller rings but it's still a good bargain and a good ring.
By Floridagal, located in Jacksonville, FL
Recommends this item:
I just got my ring today. It is beautiful! I lost my wedding ring last year and I have been looking for the right ring for me. My husband actually saw this ring online and showed it to me and I was a little skeptical because I wasn't sure how the carats would look geninuely. But when I received it today Oh my my my it was flawless. It look VERY real and no one will no the difference unless YOU tell them. Even though the actual carats are not genuine but who really knows what is geniune or not unless you live that kind of lifestyle. I love it and if you love it that is all that really matters. Because one thing for sure if I did purchase a geniune diamond as this I would pay a pretty penny for it. Its the real thing on a budget price!
Pleasently Surprised!

By Nancy, located in Blountstown, FL
Recommends this item:
This ring is so believable. I have lost my original wedding set and ordered this one for a tempory replacement. It looks like the real thing. The only negative thing I have to say is that a couple of the end prongs are sharp and rubbed my finger to begin with. I wear it everyday!
Love it!!!

By Chris, located in Fort Worth, TX

The ring is beautiful and very realistic. Howevever the rear band on both pieces tarnished with wear and it's a shame because it can be seen when I wear it makiing the ring appear fake. I'm dissapointed that there is this problem because otherwise the ring is lovely
Love it!!
By Robert, located in Painesville, OH

I switch between yellow and white gold jewelry - my real set is yellow, so I wanted something to wear when I wear my white gold - this set is stunning! Everyone compliments it & thinks I got a new wedding set. I didn't want anything too large, as I have very dainty fingers - it's the perfect size. You won't be disappointed if you order this set!

Thrilled with this ring! I have very dainty hands, so it's the perfect size for me, not overpowering -I have white gold & yellow gold jewelry, & I wanted this just for something to wear on the occasions when I wear my white gold, but I'm getting so many compliments & it's so beautiful and real looking, I don't want to take it off! Highly recommend!

By Cheryl, located in Cumberland, MD

I received this ring a couple weeks ago and it is as it was described. The carat sizes are very accurate and it is a very pretty and believable ring. No one but a professional jeweler would be able to tell it was sterling silver cubic zirconia.
Gorgeous Ring!!!
By SAMANTHA, located in SAN LEANDRO, CA
Recommends this item:
I absolutely love this ring!!! It's just the right amount of "bling" without looking fake. I have received a ton of compliments on how beautiful it is and so far no one can tell it's not real. My only complaint is that the ring is only available in a couple of sizes so I had to buy a bigger size and the ring "snuggies" in order to be able to wear it. This really should come in more sizes!!! But other than that I love this ring!!!

We bought this ring to use the jacket. Right now, we cannot afford the $2000 jacket for my engagement ring, so I'm going to fake it with this one. It fits my 1/2 carat marquis cut engagement ring perfectly. Nobody will ever know it's not real. The only thing I am not crazy about is the way the 2 outer bands are connected. But it'll do just fine till we can afford the one I want.

I received the products separately in packages with no labeling and no receipt inside. Immediately I thought something was up. I called and asked that I would not be receive this anymore and I did not want anything to do with it. I thought it was a done deal. Then my credit card company called to alert me to suspicious charges.
After a few phone calls I realized they linked me up to the 'Fit-Factory' which I did not want and had now two accounts with them (two products...) the man on the phone gave me the account numbers for both and the confirmation numbers to show I had canceled both. So I have no beef with the Fit-Factory. Then they gave me a number for Bromalite and for Acai-Slim. I called and got a representative which explained that I had called on the 15th day. Hummmm, well there was no receipt, no 'date' on paper that I could dispute that. Either way I canceled both and she told me that it may or may not go through.
Thank heavens for AE. I called them...found out that it wasn't one but 2 charges. $84 and $74. That's absolutely ridiculous! They helped me cancel one and will help me dispute the second. The only problem is no credit card company has the power to shut down charges to a company for the future only that I can dispute them. So now every month I will have to watch carefully until we get this eliminated.
Please investigate this company Panalabs, the manufacturer of these products Bromalite and Acai-Slim. This is a scam and should be eliminated from the market as well as shut down.
Thank you for listening. I'm such an idiot for trying this and I sincerely hope Oprah hears about it and doesn't allow it on her website. Also these people have put a number of reputable companies on their website as having reported on their product. Misleading and untrue.

By the way, I personally chose NOT to purchase the product simply because I don't like for a company to automatically send me additional supplies monthly. If I want more I prefer to call in and purchase them at my discretion. Plus, I did not see any disclosure regarding the safety of supplying my personal information online to this company... in most cases this means they will sell your information to other companies to sell additional products. It's 2009- empower yourself against stuff like this that has been going on for years.

I understand the "fine print" message...
AUTHOR: Sullivan - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 02, 2009POSTED: Friday, January 02, 2009
I buy a pool light halogen light bulb for $200 and they guarantee it for 1,000 hours, but it burns out after 10 hours. The fine print says that this is an average number and hours are no guarantee that my results will be the same. I made my purchase based on the "so-called" hours. But darn-it-all I forgot to read the small print.
The problem still comes back to personal and professional responsibility. If my word or your word does not mean diddly-poo, than stop advertising. But if you are also saying that sites like this are of no value because most companies are legitimate and put caveats in the small print - then you give me, the consumer, no vehicle to point out bad companies.
Do you really think we are that stupid; that we don't read the small print? After "my ripoff", I went back and read the small print and found their loophole which was not apparent. It was what they "did not say" that got me.

If something sounds too good to be true....

I sincerely hope that reports such as these are taken with a grain of salt by the average consumer. I came here to ripoff report to find out about how well these two products that Marie reported on work, only to find another case where a consumer all too quickly entered a credit card number to order a product with a "too good to be true" offer without reading the terms of service or knowing the details of their purchase.
Most offers of this nature and, in particular, those with free trials, have some sort of membership attached to them, which will be an automatic re-bill. Both of these products, on the order page, contain the details of the membership and how to cancel your membership if you are not satisfied, complete with the number of days you have to do it within. I know this because I am ordering the products and I wouldn't buy anything online with my credit card without knowing exactly what I'm committing to, so I read the details on the order page...always.
Please do yourself a favor and read the terms of service and the fine print before you ever consider entering a credit card on ANY purchase! The company's responsibility is to make sure it's there for you to educate yourself...it is your responsibility to make sure you read it.
I think it's a shame that companies are subjected to bad reputation with reports such as this, as a result of consumer negligence, but alas...it is a no fault and do it for me world we live in today.
Washington, USA
As a side note...I am not affiliated with this company in any way. I'm just an average consumer who reads the fine print.

Recession is now official.
Recession is now official.
In contrast the writers on the Telegraph have gone into apocalyptic group-think; Simon Heffer wants the IMF in immediately to deal with the insanity of Brown, horrified that £37 billion has been wasted on the banks "a sum larger than our defence budget", Iain Martin reckons history will see Gordon Brown as the Neville Chamberlain of economics, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard warns of the perilous mismatch between Britain's foreign reserves at £61 billion (less than Thailand's reserves) when our foreign liabilities are $4.4 trillion.
Clearly the dire economic situation is of an historic and epic magnitude. Brown is doing the only thing he knows, throwing taxpayer's money down the plug-hole. The opposition response has been slow to coherence, now under the slogan of sound money they tentatively advocate fiscal responsibility coupled with measures to boost business lending. When seeking to blame Brown for the perilous debt situation, they need to avoid being relentlessly negative, Labour will accuse them of "talking down the economy". It is a long dark tunnel, yet the opposition needs to offer some optimism and hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Tories making headlines on the hoof – McNulty
Tony McNulty MP, Labour's Employment Minister, responding to the Tory announcement on unemployment said: "This is desperate stuff from the Tories, who continue to scrabble around trying to find a coherent economic policy.
"There is no way they can get 350,000 new jobs out of these proposals. There are too many restrictions being applied, the incentive is too small and many of these 'new' jobs will simply displace other people seeking work.
"In addition, the Conservatives just cannot pay for this tax cut – it is misleading of Cameron to say he can pay for getting the short-term unemployed back into work by using figures of savings you would make from the long-term unemployed.
"Osborne's judgment is wrong yet again. They are making headlines on the hoof and they will be found out. "They need to make their sums add up – particularly at such a difficult time for the global economy."
Editor's notes:
1. Their figures on how many jobs would be created are complete fantasy. The Tory plan assumes that an employer would create a new job for someone unemployed for more than a year for just £2500. The Tories have failed to take account of the displacement of workers who would have gotten jobs anyway. Currently 60% of people come off job seekers allowance within three months – this number would drop dramatically under Conservative proposals as employers would be incentivised to overlook people who have been out of work for 13 weeks or less.
UPDATE : Some bloggers copy party press releases, some blogs are copied by party press offices… CCHQ at 10.38 sent out a press release quoting McNulty's above November attack on what is now government policy. Wonder where they got that idea?
Hat-tip : Bloomberg
UPDATE :Am particularly impressed with the insight of Edmund Conway, the Telegraph's economics editor, with the base rate now at 1.5% he sagely tells us "Interest rates are now nearing their bottom". Well spotted Ed.
Why has it been that at every point since 1997 faced with the Asian crisis, the IT collapse, a stock exchange crash, an American recession, last year a house price bubble, this year rising world oil prices, why has it been that at every point since 1997 Britain uniquely has continued to grow?
In any other decade, a house price bubble would have pushed Britain from boom to bust….
I tell you, it is because with Bank of England independence, cutting debt, fiscal discipline and the New Deal this Labour government has shown the strength to take the tough long-term decisions, that inflation is low, interest rates are low, growth has been sustained in every year, and we are closer than ever to the goal which drives us forward: the goal of full employment for our generation.
Labour, the natural party for economic strength in our country today.
The hubris and the lies – fiscal discipline is a joke, Gordon has presided over fiscal incontinence on an unprecedented scale, the too low interest rates because he excluded house prices from inflation targeting will prove to have been the key determinant of Gordon's bubble. Inflation was not so low if you included house prices. Gordon can't blame that on anyone else, it wasn't an American finance minister who made that policy choice…
UPDATE : Unemployment is now higher than when Labour came into office. It is a fact that unemployment has always ended up higher when Labour is voted out than when it is voted in. Just as every Labour government has ended in financial crisis.

Nasir sent me this: "For a people who constantly attacked Arabs/Somalis/Pakistanis for celebrating death, Americans are out in force celebrating this death tonight." That made me think. Take George W. Bush: he is as hated among Arabs and Muslims as Bin Laden is hated in the US. If Bush were to die, and if there are scenes of celebration among Muslims, the US news would be disgusted and guests would be invited on TV to speak about the sickness of Muslim culture.
Perhaps some would be disgusted. However, I am an American. If Bush were to die, I would celebrate his death, too - right alongside the INTERNATIONAL HERO who threw a shoe at Bush.
What kind of Iraqis protested the celebration of Saddam Hussein's death?

Very funny! Filipino comedians are getting better! Just cut down on profanities a little. Made me a little uncomfortable watching it with so much F words. Look forward to a little wholesome comedy materials next time.

We had a great time! The comedians had us laughing so much! The only comment that I might make is why do some comedians feel that they need to use profanity in each little act to make it funny? Sometimes it's an overuse of the word "f**k"!

really enjoyed the comedians. very funny. a nice venue to watch the shows. nico santos had me laughing all nite.
Kevin Camia is a local favorite who has performed throughout the country in addition to the Philippines and Hong Kong. He has been featured on Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" and Rooftop's Aspen Comedy Festival where he won the Best Up and Coming Comic award.

Technique: Cooking With Wine
You're making risotto and the recipe calls for "dry white wine", do you know what to do? Many people don't, so you're not alone. Here's a run-down of the basics of cooking with wine.
Because the flavors in wine are stronger when cooked, it is important to select a wine whose flavor you like, and you think would complement the other ingredients in a recipe. There is a reason why dessert wines such as Sherry and Sauternes are used in dessert recipes: they're sweet.
Avoid wines labeled "Cooking Wine" that you find in supermarkets; they are typically salty and often have other additives such as food coloring. A rule of thumb is to only use wine that you would drink on its own. If you don't like the way it tastes in the glass, you probably won't like it all over your food, either.
The best all-around wine when a recipe calls for "dry white wine" is a Sauvignon Blanc. The grassy, herbal flavor will complement just about any dish.
For long-simmered meat dishes calling for a dry red wine, try something hearty, like a Zinfandel. Or if the dish is lighter, you might want something lighter like a Chianti.
There is a place for fortified wines in the kitchen as well. Port, Madeira, Sherry, and Marsala all lend a richness and sweetness that are harder to get from other wines. Marsala works both in desserts and in sautés, such as sautéed mushrooms. Port is another good choice for heavier meat dishes, like casseroles.
Wine is also great for deglazing a pan. Deglazing is the process by which you make a sauce with the cooked bits left behind after food, often meat, is cooked in a pan. Once the food is removed and the excess fat is poured off, add the wine and heat, scraping with a spatula to loosen the browned bits. Depending on the quantity and flavor needed, more wine, butter and/or herbs can be added.

Great advice there... Have always wondered about that... Thought I was nuts using what I considered to be an expensive wine in cooking, but didn't have a rule of thumb to work with when wine was needed. This was very helpful. So any delicious Sauvignon Blancs you like to drink and cook with? I'm usually drinking Sancerre.
we've just used for deglazing a sauvignon-semillon from Argentina (Trapiche), dry, grassy-herbal. not expensive.
ok, you mentioned risotto...any clue how to get the good creamy risotto like what you can get in Italy? my husband is always making risotto, trying various recipes, but he hasn't been able to get the creaminess that he likes. should we try even more liquid and more time than the recipe calls for?
my go-to favorite for risotto (and many other instances) is italian dry vermouth.
bbt, i've found that if my risotto's not creamy, it's because i'm using old rice (make sure you get your arborio from a place with good turnover), or my heat's too high...
My favorite Sauvignon is Honig from Napa. Been drinking it since they started out as a small winery with a big shed.
Now they're still a smallish winery, but with a nice office and a shed.
i think the true secret to creamy risotto is to whack the heck out of it at the very last stirring, really get in there with some elbow grease and break up the starches a bit
as for cooking with wine, one of my favorite "wines" to cook with is actually verjus, its unfermented wine, basically
its very delicate, and yet brings absolutely amazing flavor to the table
its wonderful for both braising and short cooking and means you dont have to cook off the alcohol flavors (cause there's no in there!)
Totally agree with Abby, dry vermouth, though it doesn't necessarily have to be Italian. I usually use a domestic version made by Gallo, inexpensive and works well. It was from Julia Child that I heard of using dry vermouth for cooking on recipes that call for white wine.
Aside from wine tips with risotto-- My secret ingredient is homemade chicken stock. It adds a depth and creamyness unmatched by any box of stock.
Plus perfect timing with the wine (till you can see little tranluscent edges to the rice then add the stock) The joy of cooking recipe works everytime!
A co-worker just yesterday was commenting how she can't stand the amount of time she has to stir risotto. I sat back and relished all the hours I have spent over the pan of slowly creamerizing risotto on a cool day.
Making risotto is so relaxing!

ConflictTranslucent images collide in my mind's eye.
A discordant array of messages flows in one ear
And out the other,
Obscuring any rational thought I may have.
Divine hallucinations of beauty and grace, juxtaposed
With horrific scenes of bloodletting and torture,
I give them both a place to congregate.
My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to quell
The raging tornado of megalomania and self-loathing
That resides within my conscience, the gale
That blows my inner peace to faraway lands.
My mission is to calm the storms
Which derail my train of thought, and soften the blows
That, in the moments when anger overtakes me,
Dull my sword of acuity.
This is my mission.
But I choose not to accept it.
I choose to live with the gale.
I choose to live with the storms.
I choose to continue using my sword
To absorb anger's violent assaults.
I choose to live with the internal struggle, because I believe
That if the war rages on,
There will be a victor,
And then I may find resolution.
MotorboatsBenson looked out at the horizon. The water of Lake Tahoe appeared to go on forever, at some point turning into a magnificent waterfall at the edge of the earth, but never stopping, just falling perpetually. The mountains on the other side of the lake appeared almost as if they were a mirage. Benson let out a long sigh. Here, he thought, is where I belong. Here is where I am happy. He pushed his oar methodically, like clockwork; left, right, left, right, left, right. With no regard for steering, he simply propelled himself further into open water, further away from the beach, further from human contact, further into solace. Benson was not necessarily one for interaction; he wasn't incompetent at it, but when given a choice, he usually tried to avoid it. The kayak was by far his favorite escape. Nothing could touch him out here, he thought. Nothing except the motorboats.
Benson scowled. He hated the motorboats. He hated the way they cut across the water like a knife cutting into his con
How Jesus Crashed The Soundgarden ConcertOnce upon a time in Heaven, there was a man named Jesus. Jesus hated rock and roll more than anything in the world. He hated the sound of it, he hated the spirit of it, he hated the essence and idea of it, he simply hated rock and roll down to its very core. He attempted to destroy it several times. His first attempt was sending four wise men down to Earth to form the band Creed. This attempt was very nearly successful, but in the end it failed. In a fit of rage, Jesus sent many angels down to Earth in the form of mediocre pop artists, but rock and roll kept going strong, much to his dismay.
At around the same time, in a city called Seattle, there was a band called Soundgarden. They enjoyed great success in the 90's, but faded into obscurity in the next decade. They planned to perform a proud one-night-only reunion concert on the coming Friday, as a last huzzah and grand finale to their enviable career. What they didn't know, however, was that Jesus was watching them from the sky, and
Typical.Splish, splash through gentle rain,
I make my way to try to gain
Just one quick glance at your smiling face,
Before vanishing without a single trace.
For if you know that I've been here,
The mask would fail to shield my fear.
Even without that, my heart's awfully loud;
I'm sure you'd hear its relentless pound.
I accomplish the mission and sneak away,
But my breath's still rugged after one whole day.
What is it about that mischevious smile
That makes my quests always worthwhile?
I must apologize for this typical rhyme;
It's hardly what one could call divine.
I scoffed at a similiar verse not long ago
So imagine my shock at being its echo.
Now, dear reader, I must close and say:
Goodbye and good luck with your loving days.
For mine have come and will surely go
With my chance at love remaining zero.

The Prince and the QueenThe Prince and the Queen
The hooded cloak coiled around Akataras while he walked, white as the snow that fell from above. The black of mourning had not slipped from the elf's shoulders for long, before he had once again clad himself in light. Familiar pains were easier to bear perhaps, or he had found a new road, paved on the lives he had buried, that led to a more clear path.
His path was clear, but his mind and heart were not. His long and ragged brown hair was not in the style of one whose mind was settled, or heart healed. The white furs, silks and leathers he wore only warded against the frost outside, not within. The exhaustion in his eyes betrayed him, for they were as cold and as the snow beneath his feet.
He looked toward the road ahead with tired turquoise eyes, but did not truly see it. They gleamed in the moonlight and revealed more than the traveller had ever dared to share. As if he feared the moon and starlight could see his deepest secrets, he pu
Wishes in the WellI laugh at the unforgiving irony,
A drop of water to desert's core.
Cunning taunts and hisses mock me,
Another child of Murder is born.
No creature would be left unfazed,
To the scent of rose and gentle touch.
Blind to the face that honey glazed,
A piece of meat to the hunter's lunch.
Piercing gazes thrown my way,
Welcoming that all too familiar doubt.
So soon Fate has come to play,
Enjoyed by twisting my mind about.
I drown in sand like a fool,
Visioning what's to be so vividly.
Without shame, please don't be cruel,
See I'm not built an oak but a lily.
Like a pen's ink was meant to flow,
I kiss the metal of this coin so cold.
As the rain from clouds choose to go,
May this return a hundred-fold.
Not yet done from sewing the pieces,
Chopped roughly by a smile so sweet.
You're the seraphim with deadly gazes,
Please be the one to make this heart beat.
The World of My DreamsOut of the grass sprang gentle hands
that carried me over a field of clovers
And I drifted beneath the clouds,
gazing in the idle wonder
that creeps upon men like curling ivy
There was no bluer sky than that day,
and the trees-
there have never been more hearty trees
than the giant oaks towering above me
as the hands carried me further-
And when I awoke in this mysterious land,
I breathed in the scent of moist grass,
relieved to find that it was not just a dream,
and that the world in which I lived
was as beautiful as the world of my dreams
The bloody red shoesEvery where I walked
Following a path lain red
Where everyone talked
And I listened to what was said
Where the limestone met gravel
And the gravel met dirt
In the grave yard of hell
Full of the dead ones words
I wore the shoes of crimson
To walk the beaten path
Waiting for the one
To end the worlds wrath
Angels and demons made of stone
Folded hands in prayer to some god
To leave me all alone
Drifting through the fog
Laces white but faded
Sunny rays all gone down
The one the angels hated
The awful wrenching sound
Soles eaten through and worn
Souls crying in the wind
Stained with crimson gore
The shoes on till the end
PaintEven though you left
I cannot deny what I feel for you.
So I rid my feelings.
But I immortalize them in paint.
I will paint the night sky,
to show how you are my path in life.
I will paint the undeniable beauty of the rose,
to show the love and passion we shared.
I will paint the season of Autumn,
to show how you are, my passion, my energy, my inspiration,
to show how you always took my breath away.
I will paint the clouds at sunrise, and sunset,
to show how you are my sweetest thoughts and my dreams.
I will paint a coffee cup,
to show how I found comfort in you.
I will paint a cupcake,
to show how you are my sweetest craving.
I will paint a butterfly among the angels,
to show that you are my freedom from this world,
and to heaven is where you, my wings will bring me.
I shall paint a Redbud tree,
to show you that you are my support and home.
I shall paint you my hands,
to show you how I am search for you,

AbandonLet the winged dreamship carry us gently into space,
Over jagged contour lines like scars we can't erase.
Let us realize our wish and leave this world behind,
And purge this ruptured domain from our bodies and our minds.
Fly us to the sun and feel the heat with which it burns,
And rid us both of secular and worldly concerns.
I beseech you, dreamship, let us fly to other lands,
Abandon Earth and grasp the universe within our hands.

what to buy
The Asus Transformer Pad TF300 packs a healthy punch and its optional keyboard dock -- which costs extra -- is a plus for many. But if you don't plan to spring for the keyboard add-on, competing tablets offer a nicer screen for near the same price.
The performance wows, the screen doesn't. The quad-core Tegra 3 processor proves incredibly fast and responsive in practice, with reviewers reporting that apps open quickly and games perform flawlessly. Despite the power, the tablet still packs in all-day battery life. However, the 1,280-by-800-pixel screen is a bit dim and not especially sharp on a 10-inch screen. The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 (*Est. $480 and up) offers similar performance and an aluminum design with a vibrant 1,920-by-1,200-pixel display featuring an optional, super-bright SuperIPS+ mode.
Just your type. (Get it?) The TF300's allure begins with the quad-core processor, but the optional keyboard dock (*Est. $150) is the real draw. It greatly extends the tablet's versatility and turns it into a productivity powerhouse among Android tablets. The slate comes with Polaris Office and other apps already installed to maximize its office-friendly potential.
The 8-megapixel rear camera takes crisp pictures, shoots 1,080p videos and features a panoramic photo mode, while the front-facing 1.2-megapixel shooter works well for video chats. On the downside, few of the 700,000-plus Android apps are optimized for tablet screens.
Don't take it outside! The dim screen doesn't look its best in outdoor settings, but the Transformer Pad TF300 performs well otherwise. The Android operating system is a bit more complex than the iPad with Retina Display's (Est. $500 and up) iOS operating system, but reviewers say it isn't too difficult to navigate and learn.
Do you need a keyboard? If not, the Asus Transformer Pad TF300's value proposition isn't as solid as that of the 10-inch Google Nexus 10 (Est. $350 and up), which delivers the same performance and a stunning 2,560-by-1,600-pixel screen. The more totable 7-inch Google Nexus 7 (Est. $230 and up) delivers the same pixel density as the TF300 but costs substantially less.
Even if you do want or need a keyboard for the TF300, the extra $150 expense puts the total cost near that of the Windows-based Asus VivoTab RT (*Est. $600 and up) and the Microsoft Surface with Windows RT (Est. $350 and up) with optional Touch Cover. Both offer superior typing experiences and the full-fledged Office 2013 RT app, although access to a much smaller -- at least for now -- app selection.

Pierce says the Asus tablet delivers great bang for the buck.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Justin Upton to Atlanta Braves? It's been discussed
The Justin Upton trade winds have been swirling for a while now, though at this point it does not seem like a deal is imminent.
One of the teams rumored to be interested in the young D-back's services is the Atlanta Braves. You know, the same Braves team that just inked Justin's brother B.J. to a big contract.
So, could there be a brotherly reunion in Hotlanta?
The two have discussed it, apparently.
According to Braves beat writer for MLB.com Mark Bowman, the brothers Upton have thought about sharing the same outfield.
"B.J. Upton said he and his brother Justin Upton have had a few conversations about possibility of playing together in Atlanta."
And, as David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution tweeted out, there brothers would like to make it happen.
#Braves B.J.Upton & brother Justin have strong desire to play together and hope it happens when Justin is free agent in 3yrs, if not sooner.— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) November 29, 2012
The D-backs are rumored to be seeking, at the very least, a young shortstop in return for Upton, and the Braves have one in Andrelton Simmons.
Atlanta was not willing to part with the 23-year-old when his name was brought up a month ago, but it's fair to wonder if that stance will change with the team's latest acquisition.

does NOT state "Arena smurfs are '100% awesome!' according to Blizz" as the title of this article states. In fact, I can't infer a damn thing from that screenshot as it doesn't give evidence of anything, simply because the context is conveniently missing from that screenshot.
Please try to keep your articles accurate. I don't know why people would read them otherwise. If I wanted to read tripe, I'd go to the aisle in my local grocery store.

yayo, "slanderous" doesn't mean "basing conclusions on incomplete evidence". It means "lying about someone with the specific aim of damaging their reputation". And it's verbal; when the defamatory lie is written, it's libel. Either one is a dangerous term to sling around, since both are illegal in the United States.
If you really meant something other than that Zach was lying to damage someone's reputation, you'd be wise to offer a retraction and clarification.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Texas inmate pleads guilty in the murder-for-hire plot against a Texas judge.
According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office, 49-year-old Jeffrey Dwayne Harrison, pleaded guilty in Lubbock federal court to two counts of using interstate commerce in the commission of murder-for-hire.
Prosecutors say Harrison was in jail in Brownwood, Texas, when an informant referred him to an undercover agent posing as a contract killer. Harrison now admits to arranging the death of state District Judge Stephen Ellis of Brownwood. He could spend up to 20 years in prison. Judge Ellis was not hurt.

I recently acquired two original playbills from the 'Theatre Royal', Liverpool. This one dates from 1838 and relates to 'Lady of Lyons' (also known as 'Love and Pride') which was written by the prolific novelist and playwright Baron Lytton the very same year. It premiered in New York and is seen by many as the inspiration for the first grand American opera, 'Leonora'. Here on Merseyside it was staged at the 'Theatre Royal' in Williamson Square which had first opened in 1772 after moving from its original premises in Drury Lane.
Smith's 'Stranger's Guide' of 1843 describes the theatre in some detail with the addition of one unusual incident:
"THE THEATRE ROYAL in Williamson Square, is the only patent theatre in Liverpool, and therefore the only one in which the legitimate drama can be performed. It has a semi-circular stone front, with a rusticated basement, and the upper story is ornamented by coupled Ionic pilasters, bas-reliefs, &c. It was erected in 1772, at an expense of £6000, and has had additions subsequently made to it. The interior is very commodious, elegantly finished, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is intended. Connected with the early history of this theatre is an incident, which, at the period of its occurrence, produced a great impression on the public mind. On the 2nd August, 1798, during the play of 'The Stranger,' Mr. John Palmer, of the London stage, suddenly dropped down and expired after having uttered the words; "There is another- and a better world." The spectators thinking that it was an incident in the play felt no alarm. The body was removed from the stage, but all attempts to restore animation were fruitless. When the announcement was made, an intense sensation, which it is impossible to describe, pervaded the audience, who slowly and silently retired."
The 'Theatre Royal' was closed its doors for the final time in 1896 and the building was put to use as a cold storage unit until its 1970's demolition. The Liverpool F.C store now stands on the site.
