Dirty Three
Instrumental trio Dirty Three are one of Australia's finest exporters of that stormy, orchestral, introspection thang, the kind of tension and release perfect for movie scores or a bohemian funeral. For the last several years, you've seen all three of them playing in or around NYC: Percussionist master Jim White plays with Cat Power and White Magic (to name a few), violin wiz Warren Ellis is a permanent member of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds and Grinderman projects (as well as doing lots of movie scoring with Cave), and loop-y guitar ace Mick Turner has been doing solo stuff. Now that we hear their influence all over the place in newer bands, a reunion is overdue. With Pillars and Tongues.

Comments about Audio-Technica ATM350 Cardioid Condenser Clip-On Microphone:
Use these mics with a 10 instrument dance/swing big band indoor and outdoor for 8 shows now. On sax from soprano to baritone, they are great solutions. As the previous review said, no surrounding noise or wind is picked up. Also worked for me on trombone, when he uses a mute it is smaller than the bell and the mic mounts on the left away from the right hand applying the mute. Both trumpets present a problem as they can bash the mic or knock it off when they apply mutes that nearly span the whole bell. Guess that's the risk in swing or dixieland bands. Maybe I can train them to take off the mic before they pick up the mute. After the show, mics are removed and clipped to 2' tall straight pin stands I made from paper towel holders bases, so they don't just drop mics on the floor. My favorite AT mic.

Comments about Audio-Technica ATM350 Cardioid Condenser Clip-On Microphone:
Purchased for use on trumpets used in contemprary worship services. Player is normally positioned in fairly near proximity to semi-enclosed drum kit as well as sub-woofers. Virtually no pickup of surrounding sound as very little gain is required for reinforcement of the horns. Trumpet player is also able to switch horns quickly transferring the mic from one instrument to another with no handling noise.
Have only used the violin attchment a couple of times but the results have been excellent. It's a bit of a struggle inserting the mic element into the velcro attachment but once in place it is very secure.
Beware however as the first time it was used with a violin our sound tech was not aware that the violinist was only playing during the prelude to a special service. Anticipating that he would remain on stage for the opening song, the mic was left open as the violinist set his instrument down and began removing the velcro from the violin. Needless to say that sound was picked up quite well.
Despite that humourous incident and lesson learned the ATM350 has a permanent place in our microphone arsenal. The sound reproduction is very natural and unwanted noise is virtually non-existant.
These are the only 2 applications we have tries so far. If it weren't for the fact that it is so regularly in use I would definataely be trying it out in other applications. Perhaps it's time to pick up another.

Q:Is there a way to use the ATM350 direct into a console with phantom power without the use of the battery pack? It would seem that it could be wired directly to an XLR connector.
1 answer
A:If a microphone includes a power-module, then that power-module is a necessary component for operation, and must not be removed. (Re)Wiring directly to XLR will result in a voided warranty, and will subsequently result in a permanently damaged microphone. For more information related to this, please visit the web-link below.
Q:I am the happy owner of 2 ATM350 microphones which I use for saxophone. How can I use them wireless?
1 answer
Q:Can this microphone be used with a harmonica?
1 answer
A:Yes it can! It would sound great with a harmonica. However, mounting it might be an issue for you. If you have a harmonica holder that you wear on your head, you may be able to mount it to that. Don't forget, we also offer a wireless version of this mic as well if you are trying to avoid extra cabling!
Q:Is it possible to take the AT8532 12v battery out of its compartment and then send phantom power from a mic preamp thru the AT8532 to the ATM35

Q:I've used the atm350 on many brass instruments. It's excellent. Is there anyway to make it wireless? I have non-AT wireless systems. Is there a ta3f to ta4f adapter? It seems like the only difference between the atm350 and atm350cw is the connector.
1 answer
A:Thank you for your inquiry. We do make a wireless version but we do not make adapter cables for other wireless systems.
Q:I can't work out how to fit the condenser mic to the violin and it came with no instructions. Help! It has a clip and a Velcro piece.
1 answer
A:You may use either mount to connect to a violin. You may refer to the pictures on the product page (see below)
Q:There is no clip listed for a cello. Would the upright bass clip work on a cello?
2 answers
A:I've used the ATM-35 and the ATM-350 very successfully for both cello miking and contrabass miking. You can certainly use the included Velcro mounting system with the 350 to mic either instrument for a great result. I went a slightly different route and also purchased the rubber mounts CC4099 and BC4099 from DPA. These work PERFECTLY with the ATM-350, with just a bit of electrical or gaff tape added to the cable just behind the element to increase the cable diameter for a tighter fit into the rubber mount. As one of the live engineers for a symphony, and speaking for the recording engineer as well, I've been VERY happy with the sound of the ATM-350 both on cello and contrabass with the mic placed just below the bridge using those mounts. And the musicians are very pleased at the minimal contact with their instruments and the ease of mounting/removal.
A:You may use the included AT8418 mounting clip onto the cello bridge.


text: Hi everbody, after lurking around the forums for quite some time I've finally decided to register and post a RMT, since my teams tend to have huge flaws that I don't recognize and and that I also can't fix -.- So without further ado to the team: Basically I wanted to try a sandstorm team, because I've always liked that concept of wearing down your opponent and finally cleaning him up with a powerful sweeper. So I started with Tyranitar: I then wanted to immediately check one of the biggest menaces I've encountered in BW: Excadrill. Adding Gliscor was the logical step. While we are at Excadrill: remember the powerful Cleaner? Yep: So I had three spots left. I always had decent results with FWG cores. The grass type was fix: Ferrothorn was too good to pass. There also aren't that many viable fire types, so Heatran was also a given. When I was looking for a good water type, I considered Jellicent. But then I went with one of my alltime favourites: Gyarados. Now we'll take a closer look Tyranitar (F) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Speed Jolly nature (+Spe, -SAtk) - Stone Edge - Crunch - Pursuit - Superpower The all-important Weather-Inducer. I went with Tyranitar, because he could easily kill Latios and Reuniclus. Also because he looks totally badass. C'mon, he's a freaking Stone Dinosaur! I've decided to change him to a ScarfTar, as Oblivion IX and LK told me. This has worked out quite good, the Increase in Power and most notably Speed helps. I sometimes miss the Special Bulk, but in most situations, ScarfTar does better. Excadrill (F) @ Air Balloon Trait: Sand Rush EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Earthquake - Rock Slide - X-Scissor Only one word can really describe this little mole: MONSTER! Excadrill sweeps so easy that it's almost ridiculous. He's often my MVP. But because of this legendary status, Gliscor and Skarmory pop up everywhere, making it harder to use him. The Evs and moveset are standard for a reason: Power&Speed to the max, rest dumped into Hp. Swords Dance for incredible power, EQ as STAB, Rock Slide for Flyers, X-Scissor against grass types, Lati@s, Hydreigon. I've tried Rapid Spin, but I'm absolutely hating it. Scarfed Hydreigons have really been trolling me without X-Scissor, plus I'm always kind of reluctant to risk Excadrill in mid-game...5 moveslots would be just awesome :-D Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Swords Dance - Ice Fang - Taunt Speaking of Gliscors popping up...this thing is so good. My insurance against fighting types and small moles. Like all my movesets and Evs, they are ripped of the analysis as I'm no good at Eving...-.- So the EVs do what they do (I honestly don't know why 72 Speed, it's not on the analysis). The moves help it set up with Taunt and SD, and then proceed to kill stuff. EQ is such a great STAB...but its kind of a shame that Gliscor has to rely on Ice Fang. While I absolutely hate its stupid 95 accuracy and low base power, it's still the best Ice move for 'Cor. Ferrothorn (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Spikes/Stealth Rock - Power Whip - Leech Seed - Gyro Ball First part of the FWG core, doing just fine. It checks so many things, hurting them with Iron Barbs, Gyro Ball and Power Whip, setting up spikes and healing with Leech Seed. The EVs give it huge bulk on both sides. I can't really say much about Ferrothorn, other than it usually does nothing against sun teams and sometimes gets trapped by Magnezone, which kinda rapes me... If Heatran will be replaced by Latias, Stealth Rocks will replace Spikes to keep Flying Dragons and Volcarona at bay. Heatran (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Lava Plume - Toxic - Protect - Stealth Rock Heatran is the second part of the core, checking sun teams great. Other than that, he's often underwhelming Evs give him huge special bulk. Lava Plume for burns, Toxic against bulky waters. Protect helps me to scout (thanks BKC, I feel kinda stupid for not doing this myself...). Stealth Rock because it's needed. Hmm, I'm running out of things to say. Next 'mon! might be replaced by Latias (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Speed Timid nature (+Spe, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Roost - Substitute Latias is a great Set-up Sweeper. I prefer Sub over Roar against annoying status. Again, I'd love to have 5 moveslots here... Gyarados (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Waterfall - Rest - Sleep Talk - Roar Ahh, RestTalk Gyara...This badass is really great for shuffling, racking up hazard damage. Unfortunately, RNG has a talent for sending in the worst enemy possible, but that's just my luck :-D Evs for physical bulk along with Intimidate. RestTalk for healing off damage, Waterfall for STAB and Roar over Dragon Tail against Subs. Stealth Rocks tend to wreck this guy, but we'll deal with that in the Problems Section. Other then that, I'm pleased how well Gyara does. Problems of the team: Me. Overprediction and Misclicks often wreck me, just as thinking "Nah, [opponent] wouldn't do that" Lack of Spinner/Spin Blocker. I've tried to change the team, but I always lack somethiung afterwards. I need you guys to help me out. Skarmory/Gliscor: I hate them (unless I play them, of course). Especially Skarmory tends to completely wall me, sets up spikes and then goes to town with me...HELP! Maybe Fire Blast on Ttar? Rain/Thunderus: my least favourite opponents. Thunderus is really annoying since he can hit my complete team for SE damage. Rain is also annoying since Ferrothorn and Gyara tend to break under the pressure. But that probably falls under the first point. So, I hope you can help me improve that team to a point where I can succeed with it decently. I don't really intend to get to the first page (I have Challenge Cup for that :-P), but I want to stand a chance against normal opponents. Greetings RedFang (awesome band, check them out!)

2 Claims.
My invention relates to a rig or attachment to be installed upon flat bottomed rubber boats or rafts, or like devices.
An important object of the invention is to provide a rig of the -above mentioned character which will rend-er it possible to lsatisfactorily Sail such flat bottomed boats or rafts, and also render it easy to accurately maneuver the same when rowed or pad-died.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rig of the above mentioned character, formed of assemblies which may be knocked down for the purpose of shipment, and opened and readily applied to the boat or raft.
In the drawings,
Figure l is a side elevation of a rig embodying my invention as applied to a flat bottomed rubber boat,
Figure 2 is a front end elevation of the same,
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the baseor door assembly,
Figure 4 is a bottom plan View of same,
Figure 5 is a side elevation of same, showing it partly folded,
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the keel, showing the same partly folded.,
Figure 7 is a detailed section taken on line 'L -'I Aof Figure 4,
Figure 8 is a detailed section taken on line` 8%-8 of Figure 6,
Figure 9 is a side elevation of the rudder and associated elements,
Figure 10 is a horizontal section taken on line IU-I0 of Figure 9, and
Figure 11 is a detailed section through a socket which receives the mast,
Figure 12 is a fragmentary rear elevation showing the rudder and stern section of the'boat.
In the drawings, the numeral I5 designates a nat bottomed rubber boat, of the type that can be inflated for use. This boat may be of the general type shown in Patent 2,370,069. The boat I5 has a lat bottom and is not equipped with a keel.
The numeral I6 designates the base or oor assembly or unit, comprising a bow unit or section I'I, an intermediate section I8, and a stern section I9, see more particularly Figure 4. Streamlined blocks ZE)` are rigidly mounted upon the lower face of the bow section Il', and companion streamlined blocks 2I are rigidly mounted upon the lower face of the intermediate section I8, and leaf-hinges 22 connect the pairs of blocks and 2I, and are arranged beneath them, as shown. The intermediate section I8 is fill adapted to break ydownwardly with relation to .the bow section Il'. The stern section $9 is connected with the intermediate section 5 by leafhin-ges secured to the upper faces of the sections E@ and Figure 3, and the stern section it is adapted to break upwardly with respect to the section I8, Figure 5. The base or iioo-r 5.6 is providesl with a subkeel ifi, formed in separate sections 25, 2e and 2l, rigidly mounted upon the lower aces of the bow section Il, the intermediate section and the stern section I 9, respectively. The sub-keel sections are arranged in endtoend relation and form in eil-ect a con tinuous subkeel. Apertured cleats 28 and 29 are rigidly secured to the bow section Il, apertured cleats 29 rigidly secured to the-intermediate section H3., and apertured cleats 2S and 29 rigidly secured to the stern section it. All of the cleats are mounted upon the lower faces of the base or floor sections and proiect beyond the marginal -edgeof the same. The cleats E8 have -their inner ends angularly arranged and apertured, Figure 7.
The base or door I6 is arranged beneath the iiat bottomed boat iii, with the bow section Il' next to the bow of the boat i5, and the base is .secured to the `boat i5 by ropes or exible .elee ments Si., secured .to the apertured cleats 23 and 2Q, and passed about and over the -bo-at I3 and tied to appropriate tie-.points on the boat.
A keel 321s provided, including a bow section .33 and a stern section 3e, having their inner ends connected by leaf-hinges 35, so that these keel sections may be folded or collapsed, Figure 6. The keel sections 33 and 34 are provided at their tops and near their opposite ends with pairs of guide straps 35, rigidly secured thereto by bolts 3l. These guide straps project above the top edges of the keel sections and are adapted to receive between them the sub-keel sections, thus securely attaching the keel sections to the subkeel sections, in a detachable manner, as will be described. Diagonal guys or wires 38 are attached to the keel sections 33 and 34 near their bottom edges and these guys are attached to the cleats 23. The guys 38 are drawn tight by turnbuckles 39. It is thus seen that the keel is securely held in place upon the sub-keel and may be removed therefrom, when desired.
The numeral Il@ designates a rudder and 4I is a tiller rod, having a horizontal extension 4Z. The rudder is held to the tiller rod I and eXtension t2 by straps 43. U-shaped brackets 44 are provided, having horizontal apertured extensions 45. The upper U-shaped bracket 44 engages over the rear end of the sub-keel extension 27, and is rigidly attached thereto by bolts or the like, and this bracket also i'lts within a notch 45 formed in the keel section 34, Figure 6. The lower bracket 44 receives the lower edge of the keel section 34 and is secured thereto by bolts or the like. The apertured extensions 45 pivotally receive the tiller rod 4i, the extensions 45 projecting into notches 41, Figure 9.
The tller rod 4| is equipped with a tiller arm 48, which is horizontal, and carries a strap 49, receiving therein the upper horizontal extension 50 of the vertical tiller rod 4l. This vertical tiller rod passes into the forked end of the tiller arm 48, and has clamping engagement with the sides of this forked end by means of a bolt 5|, which draws the sides together, if desired.
The numeral 52 designates a mast, formed in upper and lower sections 53 and 54, detachably connected by a sleeve 55. The lower end of the lower section 54 is inserted within a socket 56, suitably secured to the bottom of the boat I5, adjacent to the bow. The mast is connected at its top with guys 51, extending downwardly for connection with rings 58, secured to straps 59, in
turn attached to the cleats 28 and 29. The mast 52 carries a sail 60 and this sail has its top connected with a rope 6i, passing over` a pulley 62, and this rope Bi extends downwardly for suitable connection with the ring I2 or straps 53, suitably attached to the cleats 29. The rope 6| also serves as a guy for the mast. The sail 99 is secured to the mast 52 by loose lacing, as indicated at 64, although large rings may be employed. A
boom 65 is provided, secured to the sail 99 by lacing '66. This boom has a ring 6l at one end, slidable upon the mast section 54, and held against upward movement by a pin 68. The boom swing is regulated or adjusted by a rope 69, running through pulleys 10, carried by straps 'H secured to the cleats 28 and 29, as shown.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. A base to be mounted upon a flat bottom boat or the like, comprising flat hinged base sections, apertured cleats secured to the base sections near their marginal edges, a vertically narrow sub-keel section secured to each base section, the sub-keel sections being assembled to form a sub-keel permanently secured to the base, a keel comprising keel sections, opposed flat plates formming sockets secured to the upper edges of the keel sections and projecting above the same for receiving the sub-keel therein, diagonal guys secured to the keel sections near their lower edges and having their opposite ends secured to certain of the cleats, a rudder pivotally mounted upon the keel, and exible elements secured to certain of the cleats and engaging about and connected with the sides of the boat.
2. A sailing and steering attachment for at bottom inflatable rubber boats and the like, comprising flat hingedly connected base sections to be arranged against the flat bottom of the boat, apertured cleats secured to the base sections near their marginal edges, a vertically narrow subkeel section secured to each base section, the sub-keel sections assembling to form a sub-keel permanently secured to the base sections, a keel comprising keel sections, opposed upstanding pairs of flat plates forming sockets secured to the top edges of the keel sections and projecting above the same for receiving the sub-keel therein, diagonal guys secured to the keel sections near their lower edges and having their top ends connected with certain of the -apertured cleats, a steering rudder pivotally connected with the rear keel section, flexible elements secured to certain cleats and engaging about the sides of the boat and connected with the boat, a mast, a sail carried by the mast, and guys secured to the mast and extending about the sides of the boat and connected at their lower ends with certain of the cleats.

text: Steve Schmidt Remembering Jazz Expert Oscar Treadwell, Who Died In 2006 By John Kiesewetter • Mar 30, 2016 WVXU You just know that jazz expert Oscar Treadwell is smiling on Cincinnati. Ten years after his death, his adopted hometown provides the background for a major motion picture about jazz icon Miles Davis, Don Cheadle's new "Miles Ahead." Treadwell, who died on April 1, 2006, at age 79, was the jazz voice and conscience for Cincinnati for 46 years. If a Miles Davis tune was heard on radio here, most likely it was on Treadwell's shows on WVXU-FM, WNOP-AM, WGUC-FM, WVAE-FM or WZIP-AM. In fact, "O.T." is such an institution that his shows are still on the air here at WVXU-FM 10 p.m.-midnight Sunday.

The series has ended with heartbreak and cliffhangers, but it still wasn't amazing television
Thursday (May 16) night's episode of the Big Bang Theory ushered out the latest series of the sitcom in thoroughly underwhelming fashion, ending the sixth season of the show in the same kind of style that has existed throughout the show's current run.
This series ended, as the show so often does when it comes to wrapping up a series, with question marks hovering above Penny and Leonard's relationship. Leonard had been given the opportunity of a lifetime to work with with Stephen Hawking, unfortunately this will mean he has to spend four months on a boat in the middle of the North Sea. As Sheldon noted, Leonard and Penny have never been better and four months apart may change things for the worse. Then again Sheldon doesn't like to be alone, does he, so he would come up with a dilema to potentially keep his roommate and best friend in Pasadena.
Still, this was a valid point by Sheldon, but by the end of the episode Leonard and Penny seemed to have come to an agreement without Sheldon's help. Penny promises Leonard that regardless of the time spent apart their relationship won't suffer, sending him off with a heartfelt "I love you" and a kiss goodbye.
One relationship that didn't end on a good note though was that of Raj and Lucy, who ended the season apart despite Raj's best efforts to keep them together. Really, it was because of Raj's efforts that the two ended up breaking up, with his incessant efforts to lure her out of her shell ending in disaster, with Lucy ending things via text. Funny thing is, Amy was actually making progress with Lucy in making her more open and social, but she forgot to notice that maybe it was Raj's pushiness that was dragging them apart, his insistence that she come to Leonard's farewell party proving to be the straw that broke the camel's back.
It wasn't all bad for Raj though, as he went to Penny for comfort and left with more than he bargained for; a newfound sense of confidence! Yes it has taken six season but Raj actually talked to Penny, and he wasn't drunk when he did it. Unluckily for Penny though once he realised this he didn't want to shut up.
As mildly entertaining as the whole thing was, it still failed to live up to previous season finales, and carried on the same steady pace that season six has been going at. Lets hope that when the show returns for a seventh time things are a little more exciting and back to previous seasons glory.
Hopefully season seven will be a little better than this one

An undergraduate laboratory based on a functionally complete set of virtual tools for experimenting is described in this paper. An outstanding feature of the experimenting environment is an easy-to-use, graphical user interface to a laboratory experiment. It significantly shortens the time needed to implement experimenter-defined laboratory procedures and eliminates the need for high-level-language programming on the experimenter side. Taking advantage of industry-wide standards such as VISA, GPIB, and VXI, our virtual instruments can perform their function using either physical or simulated, local, or remote and network-distributed instruments coming from a variety of different manufacturers. A paperless laboratory with on-screen graded measurement reports was fully implemented. The environment allows remote experimenting-world-wide in principle. It currently requires a remote LabVIEW or XWindow session. Work is in progress on giving full access to our virtual tools using Java-capable web browsers such as Netscape, Hot Java, or Microsoft Internet Explorer and thus to provide students with a student-affordable remote experimenting platform

The monster inside of me concocted a plan that would no doubt end in Bella Swan's death. If she wanted pain, I could provide her with it in ways she couldn't even imagine.
My teeth could be the razor blade she used to hurt herself.
My venom, the alcohol she used to create the incoherent fire inside of her.
My existence, the death she so desperately seemed to want in this moment.
My passion for her, the best fucking sex she could ever dream of.
My desire, her desire.
It seemed like quite the even trade.
"If we all should die tonight, we will have no regrets..."
When Bella Swan's blood-bearing habit stirs up a mysterious newcomer and his family, what will happen? Anything's possible at the Fork's Climax, the area's premiere source for TOPLESS entertainment, after all. More importantly, what will Miss Bells, Bella's stripping alter-ego do?
WARNINGS: self-destructive behavior (like cutting), depression, split-personality disorder, stalker-like tendencies. also, watch out for mature language, self-injury, and lots and lots of erotic dancing.
What if Rosalie had refused to help when Bella called from Isle Esme? How much damage would the repercussions of that decision cause?
Rated mostly for language, but there may be some lemony goodness in future chapters.
Some OOC behaviors, because I'm not SM. Non-canon pairings, and a character death.
For Bella Swan, life was always a series of moments that consist of highly embarrassing and overly clumsy events that turn her into something of a wallflower. One day, a man who seems perfect for her rescues her twice. He's smart, he's sexy and he was gripped by her. The only catch is that he's dating someone else. That someone else just so happens to be Bella's sister.
Thanks to zilehon for the quote. :)
(banner by the awesome m81170)
When Bella moves to Forks, she's surprised that there's someone living in the house across from hers... and even more so that her window faces directing into someone else's! Will these two window buddies be able to get over their naivity and shyness to discover that they're meant to be? AU, AH BxE all the way... enjoy!
Womanizing Edward is in a cover band with his brother and best friend, who are pissed that Edward has managed to send their last three lead singers heading for the hills with his tendency to fool around carelessly. Emmett and Jasper decide to create a "no intra-band dating" rule.
But what happens when a gorgeous, talented brunette walks into the audition? Will Edward adhere to his bandmates' new rule, or will he pursue what's now off limits? OOC Edward/Bella. Rated for DIRTY HUMOR and lots of future LEMONY GOODNESS. Canon pairings.
(thanks to Evilangel6714 for the banner!!!)
A grieving young woman working on an army base encounters five European soldiers stationed there for the year. As she befriends them, she begins to pull herself out of the darkness he had been content to live in for so long. But when friendship develops into something more with one of the guys, what will she do when she is forced to make the biggest decision of her life?
"Isabella was only five when she first met Edward.
That meeting? The beginning of a lifetime."
Isabella is only five when she meets Edward through the most unfortunate situation. But that unfortunate meeting is the beginning of their lifetime.
Separate childhood tragedies forever bonded them. And now as another tragedy strikes the present day troubled adults it brings forward a lot of questions. Will it help to bring them closer together? Will it tear them apart? Will they all survive? And most importantly, how far were they willing to go to protect the ones they love?
Bella and Edward fall head over heels in the span of two weeks. But is their love strong enough to withstand them being torn apart? Can true love really conquer all? Twilight, Dear John, and Pearl Harbor all mixed up into one smutty heartbreaking fic.
When Bella requested that Edward allow her to experience the sensations of making love while human, he agreed.
Edward's control held, but now they have another problem. Something is wrong with Bella, and the Cullens are sure that even the Volturi will have no knowledge about the topic.
While our favourite family deal with the rather "personal" crisis, they also have to try and defeat Victoria...
Rated for strongly implied sex and excessive language.
I started a topic in the forums for this story. http://www.twilighted.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9082 Feel free to go and post there. Suggestions for future chapters would be welcome, even though I do have a general plan. I'll also be posting teasers from the next chapter. :)
How do you keep love exciting? Rosalie and Emmett have been together for a long time. This is the story of how they keep their love alive and sparking.
Thanks to ms_ambrosia for the amazing banner! You rock my socks xx
What Should've Happened in Breaking Dawn
Picking up right from where Eclipse left off in the meadow, Bella changes her mind. Instead of marrying Edward and having him turn her, she decides to go to college with him instead after they make love for the first time. But upon hearing about this, the Volturi kidnap Bella. But what plans do they have in mind for her?
In the meantime, the Cullens and the wolves team up to find Bella. But complications arise between Edward and Jacob who seem to be getting closer and closer to killing one another. They both have secrets that they've been keeping from Bella. But what will Bella do when the Volturi reveal everything to her?
Forever Dusk turns the world of The Twilight Saga completely on its head. It's darker than any of the original books and presents a twist that will change your view on the entire series forever.
It's time for Bella to choose...Life or Death?
Bella ran away from home when she was 17 and is now a talented exotic dancer in Chicago. Edward is an up-and-coming sports writer who is battling his own personal demons. Can they help piece each other back together? AU/AH but with usual canon pairings.
One decision changed everyone's destiny. Will Edward be able to live with the consequences of his actions? Will he be able to forgive himself for the pain he has inflicted on the only person he has ever loved, and most importantly will she forgive him?A story beginning with the cliff scene in New Moon and taking you on a journey through the dark side of fate. Where Edward and Bella's lives are both changed, but they react in completely different ways.
A player, skillful in getting what they want and that's one thing and one thing only.
A player hater, someone with a strong dislike against players.
Enter Bella Swan and stage right, Edward Cullen.
Will Bella be a victim in a player's game or can she change the game by changing the player?
Bella and Edward are best friends. When he asks her out, can they make it work? Will their friendship survive?
Rating for language and possible future sexual situations.
Edward left Bella like he did in New Moon. 8 years later and she's joined the Volturi and is now engaged to one of the Volturi Leaders. The Cullens arrive along with Bella's human family and it's now up to the Cullens to win back Bella's the rest of her families forgiveness for them leaving behind all while she's planning on becoming Queen of the Vampires... Bella and Marcus!
Lemons, and AU!
Living in the small town of Forks, Bella Swan has a normal life, boyfriend, and best friend. Everything starts to change when people mysteriously disappear. What is happening to them? Why does she have the feeling that someone is watching her? AU/OOC Dark Cullens.
Banner by MarianneNorthmanCullen
On their first Christmas back in Forks, Jasper's resolve is put to the test.
How well do we really know anyone we meet over the internet? But then again, how well do we know anyone we meet in real life? Bella Swan moved back home to Forks and ends up interacting daily with Edward Cullen, who she first met over the internet. The only problem is, neither Edward nor Bella realize just who they're talking to. Will they ever figure it out? And if they do, what difference will it make to their relationship?
Bella tries to keep her distance from Edward, thinking that she can't be hurt if he is never more than a pretty face. Too bad she doesn't let Edward in on her plan.
Based on the saying "If you love something set it free.." Bella and Edward are best friends. She's in love with him and when he tells the family news of his engagement, she is heartbroken. Will he return to her or go on with it? Rated M for some language.
Used to feeling lonely in a crowded room, international film star Edward Cullen meets a certain journalist that captures his attention. Soon afterwards, she's gone ... or so he thinks.
He's everything she hates. She's everything he hasn't known. He has painful, dark memories. She has a painful, dark past. They're constantly in danger. But can they be in love?
Edward and Bella are double-0 goverment agents-in-training. Their universities - sibling schools - are currently in the midst of an exchange program, and of course the two get paired together. However, everything comes to a dangerous halt when the all-important alumni disc, containing information that could compromise every undercover agent in the field, is stolen. Now, Edward and Bella must go undercover into the heart of the enemy, digging up what they can find to retrieve the alumni as quickly as possible, all the while trying to ignore their growing attraction for one another.
An in canon retelling of Breaking Dawn from the perspective of the thoughtful and pensive Edward.
Time passed, and I was blissfully unaware. I existed only in this moment with her. Hope burgeoned deep within me as I gazed at the sleeping enchantress. She was my salvation… my reason for carrying on what I had once believed to be a pointless and cursed existence. Through Bella's love, I was redeemed. Through her, I'd finally found the peace that had eluded me for so many years. And so it was here, in our bubble, that I remained for as long as time permitted. Lulled into a state of relaxation by the steady pounding of Bella's heart, and the rhythmic crashing of the waves.
