Chapter three.
"You really want to do this?" Adam asks Tommy, not really believing they're about to dye Tommy's hair pink.
"Hell yeah!"
"Tell me again why?"
Tommy thinks a little about it. "It'll look cool, push peoples buttons and maybe if I'm lucky it'll piss Dad off enough to actually care about what I do."
"He doesn't care? I find that hard to believe."
"I know my dad loves me, but sometimes I just wish he would stop being so fucking busy all the time. I tell him I want to make music for a living when I'm done with school, that I'm not doing that whole college thing. He says, 'Then be prepared to work your ass off and live on a stone, until you get your break' and then he goes to work. I start wearing makeup; he raises his eyebrows and asks why? I tell him it's a statement and I think I look sexy. He says 'well, be safe' and goes to work. I guess I just… I wanna talk to him, sometimes, about all the stuff in my head but he's so damn busy all the time, so I don't really mind fighting with him just to get him talking. I haven't succeeded yet, though. I feel like an ungrateful son of a bitch saying that, when I think about Mia's family but… yeah I'm dyeing it pink just to get a fucking response."
Adam nods and pats the chair. Tommy sits and Adam wraps a towel around his shoulders. Trying to focus on anything else than the fact that they're all alone and the intimate feeling connected to what they're doing, he asks, "Um, what is it with Mia's family?"
"You don't know who her dad is, do you?" Tommy glances up at Adam.
"Steven Tyler….as in Aerosmith's Steven Tyler." It's said slow and careful, like Tommy is expecting Adam to flail and not wanting him to. Adam can understand that.
"Yeah. And there are times where he has a really hard time controlling his drug habits. That's why Mia is staying with us. It's so hard on her and moving out is the only way to get him to listen. The only way to get him in rehab."
"Oh shit Tommy! I'm so sorry."
"Yeah, me too."
They fall into a pleasant silence while Adam works. Adam is wondering how silence can be like that with Tommy. Especially since his body is hyper aware of everything Tommy related.
Like when he washes the last products out of Tommy's hair, small electric volts jolts from his fingertips straight to his cock, and the small noises of pleasure Tommy lets out when Adam massages his scalp make his heart race and his breath hitch with every little sound he can pull from Tommy.
When it's done Tommy checks his new hair color out in the mirror. "Wow! It looks so cool. I don't care if dad has a fit or not, this is so awesome! I can't fucking wait to show Christian." Tommy messes with his hair gleefully and his eye catches Adam's in the mirror.
"Yeah it looks kinda good." It really does and Adam smiles back at Tommy. He can't fucking believe the courage it's gonna take to walk into school looking like that the day after but Tommy doesn't seem to be intimidated at all.
Tucking his bangs out of his eyes Tommy turns towards Adam. "Oh man I owe you for this! Name your price and it's yours!"
Adam's swallows, this is his golden opportunity. He bites his lip and Tommy tilts his head quizzically. "So?"
He almost chickens out but then Tommy reaches out and puts a hand on his, squeezes it lightly.
Hoping it comes out confident enough not to sound pleading, he gets out. "Kisses?" He misses by a mile but Tommy doesn't mock or turn away disgusted, not that Adam thought he would, but he still feared it.
"Kisses?" Tommy asks quietly as if he tastes the word.
"Yeah, Dani said no to teaching me how to kiss. So teach me?" Adam is at the point where he desperately wishes he kept his mouth shut because Tommy looks shy when he meets Adam's gaze. "You want me to-"
"Unless you don't want to of course," Adam interrupts, heart clenching in his chest.
"Um." Tommy looks strangely guarded, biting a cuticle.
"It's okay, you don't have to."
"No, no. Just give me a minute here and we can do that."
"Yeah?" There is no reason to believe Tommy didn't catch the hope in Adam's voice, because Tommy sends him a smile that doesn't seem all that sure. Adam's stomach ties up in knots. This was a bad idea and he's going to kill Danielle for putting it in his head.
Tommy looks pointedly at the door and Adam leaves the bathroom only to pace around in Tommy's room twisting his hands nervously. He wants to kiss Tommy, wants to know what it's like, but he doesn't want to be the only one wanting it. He'll embarrass himself, and the guarded look Tommy had sent him was not what he wanted Tommy to look like when they were about to kiss.
The door opens and Tommy closes it silently behind him, and Adam kind of wants to escape like a bat out of hell. Sounding calm Tommy asks, "Um, still up for this?"
"It was a bad idea and you don't have to-"
Tommy shrugs. "It's just a kiss right? It's nothing special."
Adam's heart sinks; he wants it to be special, so bad. "Yeah. So how do you want me?"
A teasing spark lights Tommy's eyes and disappears, and Adam groans when he realizes what that sounded like.
"Just stay there." Tommy wets his lips and comes closer, and Adam would do the same if he could move but as it is he's pinned to the floor. Tommy bites his lip and suddenly Adam realizes that Tommy is nervous too. That hits Adam hard and his stomach swoops down behind his balls and up again making it hard to breathe.
When Tommy has moved all the way over, he holds Adam's gaze locked and with a shaky voice he says, "Put your hands on my hips, and lean down to me." Adam swallows, they're really doing this. He's so fucking high on arousal he can barely hear Tommy over the rushing sound in his ears.
Tommy move a hand up to Adam's face and with a feathery light touch he guides Adam down with the tip of his fingers, just enough pressure to let Adam know what angle he wants. Adam stares at Tommy lips, mesmerized as his pink tongue darts out and wets his lips again. And then Tommy's lips touch his, so light it can't really qualify as a kiss.
An embarrassing sound pushes its way out of Adam, and Tommy's mouth is back this time with just enough pressure to make it good. Adam's heart is beating its way out of his chest and he's damn sure Tommy can feel it, with his fingers touching Adam's neck it's a dead giveaway. Those fingers move though a bit higher and into Adam's hair as Tommy nips at the corner of Adam's lips. Tommy's tongue flickers out and Adam forgets how to breathe, the air caught in his throat and heart hammering, he opens to the soft press. Hot and slick and with a flavor that's not really a flavor at all but pure him, Tommy's tongue slides along Adam's and with soft slow licks he owns Adam's mouth. Shaking, Adam follows Tommy's lead and kisses back; the low moan he pulls from Tommy nearly makes him come in his pants. Without thinking, he pulls Tommy close enough that Tommy's abdomen is pressed against the outline of Adam's cock. Shamefaced, Adam pulls back stuttering out, "Sorry."
Looking away and fidgeting with the hem of his shirt he continues. "I didn't mean to get carried away like that."
Adam more feels than sees Tommy get closer and yet he still startles when two fingers slowly guide him back to Tommy's gaze. "Why?" Tommy asks in a husky voice. Adam shivers.
"You don't mind?"
"No I …. I kinda wanted this, have been for some time."
A gleeful feeling takes over the awkwardness and Adam wouldn't be able to hold back the smile spreading on his face even if he wanted to. "So I can kiss you again?"
Nodding, Tommy says, "Yeah, please do."
This time Adam knows what to do and when the kiss ends Tommy looks up, panting. "I fucking knew you'd be awesome at this."
Adam blushes and ducks to kiss Tommy again. Tommy makes a keening sound deep in this throat when Adam pulls him close again with a hand on the small of his back. Adam is pretty sure this has to be heaven on earth.
"Honey? Are you home?"
Dia's voice filters through the door and startled, Tommy giggles, "Shit!" He stumbles back wide eyed and clearly very, very turned on. Adam thinks he's the hottest thing he's ever laid eyes on. And fuck it if he isn't the reason Tommy looks that way.
"Yeah mom, I'm home. Adam's here too, we're gonna come down in a sec," he yells back at her, looking so freaking happy it makes Adam grin.
"Adam's here, huh? Good," she answers in a knowing tone. Tommy blushes deeply and dear lord Adam likes that.
"Yes. And I got a surprise up my sleeve." Tommy snorts out a giggle as he touches his hair and Adam gives in to the contagious sound. Today might be the best day ever.
Adam is kinda scared and excited at the same time when he walks through the door to his English class the next day. It's the first time he'll get to see Tommy after what Adam thinks of as the most epic kiss of all times. Not that he has a lot to compare with but, whatever.
The thing is that they didn't really talk about what happened up in Tommy's room before Mrs. Ratliff announced she was home. They were kept in the kitchen for an hour where shy happy glances had been exchanged while talking about pink hair, school, friends and so on before Adam's phone had buzzed and Leila had asked that Adam help with dinner at home. She had to drive his brother somewhere and even though Adam didn't really hate his brother the feeling came close when he had to leave Tommy without any idea about what that, correction those! Kisses meant. Tommy followed Adam out but so did Mrs. Ratliff and there was no chance to talk to or let alone kiss Tommy again.
And if that isn't enough then it's their first class of the day and Danielle is for once in her life running late. Adam might hate her a little for that; it would have been so goddamn useful to talk to her before being face to face with Tommy.
Adam has his back to the door when the tiny hairs on his neck stand and his entire body reacts, and without a doubt he knows Tommy is there.
"What the fuck dude? Pink? You look like a fucking fag!" Frank's voice cuts right through the chatter in the classroom and Adam ducks a little and blushes. It wasn't about him, it wasn't even said in a cruel tone and yet he still feels the word like a slap to the face.
Adam turns around to look at Tommy who is walking towards him smiling widely. When he's all the way over by Adam he smirks and says to Frank, "You say that like it's a bad thing. Maybe I am and proud of it. You know homosexuality is found in over 400 species but homophobia only in one."
Frank laughs and grabs his crotch making an obscene gesture. "Then maybe you want a little of this."
Tommy snorts, "I'll pass. Thank you," before turning his attention to Adam. Despite the playful banter and confident way Tommy just walked into class there is something strangely vulnerable in his eyes as they meet Adam's. "Hey."
Adam has to try twice before the "Hi." he's going for actually comes out.
Tommy looks at the empty space Danielle usually occupies. "Where's Danielle?"
Tommy nods and worries his lip, and with a low private tone he says. "Can I talk to you later?"
Adam's heart starts hammering so hard it wouldn't surprise him one bit if it was audible. "Yeah, is something wrong?"
A smile plays in the corner of Tommy's lips. "Everything is perfect. I just- I talked to Dad last night."
Relieved that was the subject and not an 'oh and by the way about yesterday? Let's forget all about that' thing and says, "Really?" Tommy nods.
"Like talk, talk or fight."
Tommy looks so happy and Adam is dying to reach out to touch him, to share that happiness, but it would be so much easier if he knew where they were. " Aww. You wanna tell me about it?"
Tommy nods again, biting his lips nervously. Adam kind of wants him to stop doing that because he doesn't want Tommy to feel nervous about anything but at the same time he really wants Tommy to keep doing it because it's so damn hot when he does and Adam can't stop staring. "Yeah, but I sorta have plans today with some friends."
Adam's heart drops to his stomach, making it lurch painfully. "Okay."
"It's not- I made those plans before.." Tommy's voice is a whisper before it fades away completely and he's looking everywhere but at Adam.
Trying to keep the disappointment to a minimum and failing miserably Adam fights not to let Tommy in on it. "It's okay, really. I understand."
"You could come? I mean only if you want to."
Tommy looks kinda hopeful and Adam doesn't need more encouragement than that, "Sure I just have to ask mom if it's okay. Where're we going?"
"Mike's place. Two blocks from us."
Adam nods and does a mental note to call his mom the first chance he gets, he's not wasting this precious time with Tommy right now, though. "Okay."
Adam doesn't see Danielle before she drops down on her chair, eyes huge and in awe. "Oh. My. God. It's pink."
Grinning Tommy answers with a joyful "I know!"
"It looks awesome." Danielle reaches out to touch it and Tommy bends willingly, letting her do whatever she wants. Adam is so damn jealous he feels like puking.
"I know!"
Frank cracks himself up and splutters out, "He looks like a My little pony or something.."
Tilting his head and batting his lashes like a damn princess but still managing to flip him off Tommy says in a completely innocent tone, "Aww I didn't know you think I'm a cutie." Frank snorts and rolls his eyes and Adam has to laugh even though he kinda wants to blurt out exactly how cute he thinks Tommy really is.
"Cutie or not! I'm still not letting your dick near my ass." Tommy laughs and blows Frank a kiss.
Frank laughs too. And Adam nearly misses Frank's response. "Damn Tommy you've got balls." Because really, words like dick and my ass is taking up way too much brain capacity.
"Guys, find your seats and books please." Their English teacher Mr. O'Brian says tiredly.
"And don't you know it!" Tommy says, as he finds his place because Mr. O'Brian obviously thinks it's time to get their books out.
They meet out in front of the school when the last class is over, they still haven't had five minutes alone and Adam is dying; insecurity and want don't mix well at all.
Tommy smiles softly and starts walking. Leading the way to Mike's house silently, he is doing that thing again where he sucks in his lower lip and keeps it there between his teeth. Once in a while Adam catches Tommy sneaking a sideways peek at him through his bangs, but that's got nothing on when their hands sometimes brush against the others. No, because that fleeting touch just makes Adam want to link his pinky around Tommy's and maybe even lace their fingers together. And his fucking breath hitches every time, too.
He kicks himself for wanting it all so much, all the stupid clichés. The handholding and kissing and everything in between, so yeah Adam is dying, wanting desperately to know what the hell that kiss or kisses meant yesterday, but he's too scared to ask. What if it was just kissing, nothing special, like Tommy suggested at first. What if Adam had dreamed up the 'I've been wanting this for a while' thing? He felt like such a loser for not addressing the issue, but he couldn't face the embarrassment if Tommy said it was just for the practice of it. So they walk in awkward silence and Adam hates it.
Finally he works up the nerve to ask something. "Want to tell me now? Or-"
Tommy stops and points at the next house, he shrugs a little as if to apologize. "This is it, Mike's house. Mind if we talk later?"
Adam wants to say yes, wants to just say whatever and leave. He's never been one to indulge in self torment, but Tommy grabs his wrist and fucking finally are they touching on purpose, however innocent and lame that touch may be, it's apparently enough for Adam to say, "No, that's fine." And follow like a dog on a leash.
Tommy knocks on the front door and someone is yelling from inside the house that the door is open. Tommy opens and calls out "Mike?" as they walk through the door.
"In here, Mom's at work so we're hogging the couch."
"Cool." Tommy toes off his boots and pulls the hoodie off; the t-shirt he's wearing under slides up with it, revealing a bit of skin not to mention the jut of a hipbone. Throwing it on a small bench in the hall he sends Adam a quizzical look and Adam remembers where he is. Tommy waits while Adam gets his shoes off and together, though Adam still feels like they're miles apart, they walk into the living room. "Hi guys." Tommy pokes the thigh of the guy sitting close by.
Smiling up at Tommy and with a curious look at Adam the boy says, "Hi Tommy."
"I brought Adam. I hope that's cool."
"Adam, this is Mike," Tommy points at the boy whose leg he was poking. "And that one over there is Luke." Adam greets them both and Tommy flops down on the couch, dragging Adam with him. Not that Adam minds one tiny bit.
They don't really get comfortable before there's another knock at the door and a whirlwind of a boy screams. "Wow! You fucking did it man! It looks so-" The guy is all over Tommy who giggles gleefully and squirms away when he ruffles the hair.
"Dude! Don't mess with the pretty." Tommy laughs while batting at the intrusive hand.
"I'll touch if I want to. And where is my love?" Tommy smiles fondly and surges up to plant a kiss right on his lips.
Adam's not stupid. He figures this has to be Christian and Tommy already told him about them, doing this. It still doesn't change the fact that for the first time ever Adam knows why people can sometimes be pushed to where physical harm feels like the way to go. Damn it Tommy was kissing Adam yesterday, and not just a loud peck on the lips and he still hasn't gotten as much as a sideways hug from Tommy today. Adam's so jealous that the only reason he's not blazing out the door slamming it behind him is the fact that he has no claim on Tommy, not at all, and it would be the surest way to ruin any chances he might get with Tommy if he acts so stupid. Realizing just how bad he's got it, tears starts to prick behind his eyelids but he somehow gets it under control. Danielle was right all along, he just hadn't seen it coming himself.
"Hi Mike!" The guy releases Tommy and flings himself onto Mike who hugs him before pushing him off playfully. Sitting half on the couch and half on Tommy again he stares at Adam with obvious curiosity.
Looking like the cat that got the cream, Tommy introduces them. "That's Adam. Adam that's Christian, I've told you about him." Adam nods and offers Christian his hand to shake. When the politeness is done and over with Christian turns so he's sitting on Tommy's lap, giving him a thoroughly searching look. Tommy smiles and keeps looking back open and happy.
"Okay, can I talk to you? In the kitchen?" Christian eyes dart to Adam and back and a whole conversation Adam doesn't have a chance of understanding is held right before him, without words.
Finally Tommy nods once almost hesitantly. "Um, alright."
Christian scoots off Tommy's lap and with a look that says 'stay right where you are' he says to Adam. "We'll be right back."
Tommy leaves with a glance thrown over his shoulder and Adam sinks into the couch, wishing he could be a bug on the wall and not feel like he's left in the dark.
Adam tries to pay attention to the TV but he keeps ending up with listening, hoping to pick up the murmured voices in the kitchen, without luck though. Mike clears his throat. "So? You and Tommy huh?"
"Um, what?"
"Nothing I just assumed that since he brought you… I'm gonna shut up now."
Mike looks a lot like one that knows he just messed up and did it thoroughly. But Adam is dying to know what he meant by that. "No please. I-"
"I hate you." Tommy's voice filters through to Adam. There is no heat in the words, though.
The guys stumble into the living room, Christian's arms around Tommy's middle as he sing songs, "You love me, you wanna marry me, you wanna have my babies."
Tommy laughs, bright and happy. "I hate you so hard right now."
Christian lets go of Tommy, crosses his arms while he sits down close to Mike and fakes a pout. "I'm not gonna let you snuggle while we watch that damn John Wayne movie you picked for today."
Tommy gigglesnorts and somehow he ends up right beside Adam. "You'll be begging me to cuddle you later and don't disrespect the Duke. That man was freaking awesome!"
Luke puts on the movie and as if on cue all the teasing and chatting comes to a stop and Adam is left wondering how the hell that happened. He hasn't seen one movie with Danielle or any other of his friends, not even at the cinema, without someone talking or at least whispering.
It doesn't take long before Tommy is leaning in against Adam's side and even shorter before he's snuggling just like the day he'd been over with Mia. Adam fights to not put too much into that so he sits still, frozen. He doesn't want to ruin this, it feels too good and yet he has no idea what this means.
He tries to focus on his breathing, on calming the rhythm of his heart but all that runs through his dumb head is the way he thinks that maybe Tommy is doing the same. That maybe all Tommy can think about is kissing Adam again and wouldn't that just be the best thing in the world?
At some point Tommy looks up and locks gaze with him. They stare at each other for a long time and it feels like all oxygen is evaporated in the room, making it even hard to breathe properly. Adam know he needs that air but how do you kick-start your body when someone as gorgeous as Tommy Joe looks at you that way? Tommy bites his lip and straightens up just enough to get him out from under Adam's arm. For the longest time ever he just stares searching at Adam, and then he darts his tongue out just like he did the day before seconds before their lips met. Adam realizes that the quiet strained little moan must be coming from himself because it somehow puts Tommy into motion and slowly, so fucking slowly it almost ends Adam, he closes the space between them and soft lips brush against his. Adam reaches to cup Tommy jaw and keep him there. He feels Tommy's soft moan more than he hears it and it's all Adam needs to deepen the kiss.
It's kinda awkward sitting like that and the angle is all wrong but it doesn't really matter because that is Tommy sucking on his tongue and lips, making small impatient noises and trying to get closer. When he feels Tommy's leg slide over his, Adam somehow, and how he does it he'll never know, remembers where they are and that they're not alone. So instead of working with Tommy and his effort to straddle his thighs he pulls back, looking around, embarrassed and turned on so much it hurts.
The room is empty, the TV is still on and the Duke is saving some damsel in distress. Tommy grins when he looks around following Adam's gaze. "Best friends ever. Come here." and then he's pulling Adam in for another mind blowing kiss. This time Adam's the one making sure Tommy gets closer.
Tommy follows easily though and with a leg on each side of Adam's hips, hands in his hair he dominates Adam's world. Nothing exists but Tommy.
Adam lets a hand wander from the small of Tommy's back down to his ass pulling him even closer. The needy sound that comes from him because of that makes Adam's cock throb hard against the restraint of his pants and he's helpless against the need to move his hips in small thrusts upwards.
Tommy moves his lips away and litters kisses along Adam's jaw and down his neck clawing impatiently at the shirt, until he gets to the skin on Adam's collarbone and latches onto it. It feels so good Adam's pretty sure he's gonna end up creaming his shorts if they don't stop. Like now.
"Tommy please." He moans it out between hard shallow pants and hands that roam Tommy's body.
"Please what?" is whispered against his skin, hot moist air ghosting across it leaving Adam a quivering mess.
"Don't." That gets Tommy's attention. Immediately their gazes are locked and Tommy looks guarded, confused and turned on with pupils blown and lust shining in them.
"Too much? You don't-"
"I don't wanna come in my pants the first time I meet you friends and much longer like this I will."
"Yeah and …. I have no idea what the hell we're doing here."
"Making out, obviously." Tommy presses a lingering kiss to Adam's lips and needing to know the reason why they're doing it seems to be less important. Adam manages to hold on though; he doesn't ever want to go through a day like this again.
"But why?"
There's that lip-bite again. Adam lets a thumb run over the lip, soothing it. "What are we? Do you want to date me or is this something entirely else. I gotta know."
The smile Tommy sends him is a weird mixture of 'oh fuck yeah' and shyness. "Yeah, yeah I'd like that. The dating part."
"Good. Me too."
They share another slow kiss before Tommy whispers. "Um, we should probably tell the guys they can come back in."

Quotes By
Earl Nightingale
Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.
Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.
The big thing is that you know what you want.
You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.
We tend to live up to our expectations.
Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.
Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.
What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.
Everything begins with an idea.
We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.
Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.
You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be – whether they will admit that or not.
Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.

How to Setup avast! Antivirus
avast! is the one of antivirus with correct behaviour to ActivityMon products. It detects the ActivityMon products as so called PUP - Potentially Unwanted Programs with specific settings.
avast! antivirus does not detect ActivityMon products in its default settings because of PUP detection is not enabled by default. If you are going to use ActivityMon products with PUP detection enabled you will have to add ActivityMon installation path to the list of exclusions antivirus exclusions.
If ActivityMon products were installed as hidden contact us for the secret ActivityMon installation path - we will need information about the operating system used, including its platform: 32bit (x86) or 64bit (x64). When ActivityMon products were installed in normal way (on other words it was installed for current user or for all users) path can be entered during the installation. Default installation path of ActivityMon products is C:\Program Files\ActivityMon Software\ActivityMon, for older application versions it is one of following: C:\Program Files\Advanced Software\ActvityMon or C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Software\ActivityMon (depending on operating system platform).
First step is to add installation path of ActivityMon products into the global exclusions of on-demand scans. Double-click on the avast! antivirus taskbar icon to view its user interface. Here click the Settings button in the upper right corner of the window.
avast! window will appear, switch to the Exclusions tab. Add ActivityMon installation path to the list on this tab and click the OK button.
The most important step for the right function of ActivityMon products with avast! antivirus with PUP detection enabled is to add ActivityMon installation path into the exclusions of File System Shield: in avast! user interface activate the Resident Shields tab. When it is activated make sure its File System Shield sub tab is activated. Here click the Advanced Settings button.
File System Shield settings window will appear, switch to the Exclusions tab here. Then add the ActivityMon installation path to the list on tab and click the OK button.
All the mentioned settings have to be done before the ActivityMon products are installed (in case the PUP detection is enabled in the avast! antivirus). If they are done after the installation of ActivityMon, some of its files may be removed/moved or the ActivityMon product can be damaged in other way. In such a situation ActivityMon products repair or reinstallation is recommended.

Serves Feeds four as one pie (in a 8cm deep oval dish), or divide into four for individual pies
"Use as a base recipe or customise with Stilton, Guinness, oysters or dry cured bacon," Tristan says.
Rough puff pastry:
250g (9oz) strong plain flour
1 tsp fine sea salt
250g (9oz) butter, at room temperature, but not soft
Approx 150ml (5fl oz) cold water
The casserole:
500g (1lb 2oz) stewing beef, diced
50g (1¾oz) butter
6 medium shallots, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp brown muscovado sugar
500ml (18fl oz) real ale
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 medium carrots, sliced thickly
1 sprig rosemary
2 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
Juice of ½ lemon
1 heaped tablespoon plain flour
1 tsp sea salt
Pepper to taste
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Roughly break the butter in small chunks, add to bowl and rub in loosely.
- Make a well in the bowl and pour in two thirds of the cold water, mixing until you have a firm, rough dough adding extra water if needed.
- Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 20 mins in the fridge.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead gently and form into a smooth rectangle. Roll the dough in one direction only, until 3 times the width, about 8in x 20in. Keep edges straight and even. Don't overwork the butter streaks; it should look marbled.
- Fold the top third down to the centre, then the bottom third up and over that. Give the dough a quarter turn and roll out again to three times the length. Fold as before, cover with cling film and chill for at least 20 mins before rolling.
- Preheat oven to 180C/ 350F/gas 4. Put a casserole pan on a medium heat and add the vegetables, garlic, bay leaves and herbs with the butter and fry gently for 10 minutes.
- Add meat, sugar and flour. Pour in ale, tomato purée and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and season.
- Bring to the boil, put the lid on and either simmer slowly on your hob or cook in an oven for 2 hours. Remove the lid for the final half hour of simmering or cooking. When done, your meat should be tender. Add lemon juice. Check seasoning.
- Leave to cool, preferably overnight. µRemove pastry from fridge.
- Fill your dish with filling up to 7cms.
- Dust your work surface with flour, cut the pastry in half and, using a floured rolling pin, roll out until just under 1cm thick. Lay over the top of the pie dish. Trim pastry to the edges and crimp the pastry firmly against the dish. Brush the top of the pie with a whisked egg glaze and place into the oven. Place into an oven and bake at 180C/ 350F/gas 4 for about 25-30 mins until crust is golden brown.
- Use fresh ingredients: herbs such as tarragon for chicken pies, or lemon juice to lift a beef sauce.
- British beef skirt (ask your butcher) is full of flavour and breaks down beautifully when stewed.
- Take inspiration from other recipes. A fish stew or cassoulet works beautifully in pastry.
- Change ingredients to reflect the seasons: for summer pies use chicken, mint, lime, sweet potatoes and chilli; for winter try venison and puy lentil or steak and kidney.
- Stack up leftover pastry trimmings and freeze for reuse. To reroll, allow it to come back to room temperature.
- Experiment with side dishes: mash, rich gravy, a crunchy salad, sweet chilli sauce, salsa verde, good chips.

Cretors Case Study
Santiago Ennis
Exporting has become a very important business strategy nowadays. In order for firms to expand to the international market, and also to maintain and grow their share of market in whatever industry they are in, depending on their goals and objectives, any company must at least explore this possibility. A few and important advantages might come into place, in that they can extend their sales potential of their existing products, increasing margins through a larger customer base. Also, these small to large businesses can consolidate by gaining global share of market, they can reduce their dependence on their existing markets, enhancing competitiveness, making their business models, from production of consumer goods, to offering services, a lot more efficient. Entering a foreign market forces these companies to modify their current products, developing a whole new set of promoting these products, as well as the package and presentation they come in. By enhancing in this strategy, sometimes these businesses come up into subordinating short term profits to the potential of long term gains, if managed effectively. Compared to large firms, small / medium firms are relative, in that they wait for new markets to come to them, even if they sometimes are not prepared to respond to these opportunities. Throughout the following analysis, we will talk about a small family business, which chose and waited for the market to come to them, and managed the exporting business effectively: Cretors & Company. Cretors & Company was founded in 1885, when their founder, Charles Cretors, patented a popcorn machine, exporting it right from the beginning. Throughout the years, this company has grown to be a leader in the $10 billion U.S. concession business. With over 10 product lines, including industrial level equipment, small and large concession poppers, all up to hot dog and cotton candy equipment, Cretors has found an amazing business model that are leading them to be recognized in the international market. They focus in making specialized products, which is a competitive advantage to them. As we all well know, popcorn is mainly consumed in the US, and as the case states, is mainly "an American product, like pizza is an Italian product". Their main objectives and goals were set from the beginning, which made it easier to have a clear picture of their internal and external environment. Creator reacted positively when the international market made an approach and showed up, in order for them to provide all their products around the world. They knew, internally, how to dominate the movie theatre business well, through simple visible popcorn maker displays. Once they had their local business dominated, they were well prepared and ready to face the external environment overseas, where they had no influence whatsoever, and were pioneers in the business. They had little time to get acquainted, and many future businesses that they could construct. Getting acquainted with different business cultures, way of living, negotiation skills and requisites, is not an easy task to do. Western Europe, Canada, Mexico and Romania being their main customers, had different product specifications that they well needed. International sales for Cretors were 36% of their total sales. What does this tell us? External Analysis was thoroughly made, and results of this analysis were well implemented. This percentage of their sales was mainly constituted by commercial machines for movie theatres abroad (US Movie Chains opening on these markets). Also, they knew that the international market demanded industrial machines. One customer base started feeding another customer base. Movie theatres brings popcorn to customers, which is a new product to them, which then they could find from a snack manufacturer in a grocery store (made by Cretor's Machines)....

According to Steve Doyle, president of Brookfield Homes' San Diego/Riverside division, his company took advantage of the recent slow-down in the real-estate market to re-think its business model. The result was Rockrose at The Foothills, a Carlsbad, California, development, for which the company recently won a Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Environmental Spirit Award. Brookfield is the first homebuilder to receive the Chamber's award for environmental stewardship.
The Rockrose development, which opened last year, features single-family, detached homes that exceed the state of California's energy efficiency standards by at least 35 percent. These homes incorporate six areas of eco-friendly design, including energy and water conservation, waste reduction, improved indoor air quality, sustainable building materials/wood conservation, and renewable energy/solar power.
These areas of emphasis play out in the form of tankless water heaters, a recirculating hot water system, Merv 8 air filters, low VOC carpets and paints, formaldehyde-free insulation and options like photovoltaic solar panels and electrostatic air filters.
Lee Schavrien, senior vice president of finance, regulatory and legislative affairs for Sempra Energy Utilities, highlighted Rockrose, in a statement, as a "model for other home builders – even a challenge for other developers." The development encompasses around 482 new homes ranging from approximately 1,700 to over 3,000 square feet in size.

Much to my disdain
I had to frog the beginnings of a sweater today. Talking with my friend Anjeanette (who is one of my knitting role models) over the weekend, I realized that it's just not going to work out. The sweater is clearly too large – even more obvious when I lay out the sweater and look at it compared to a sweater I own. So I ripped back and will start over today on my lunchbreak.
So we go from this:
To this:
I'm looking forward to starting again and getting it right this time!

UMR 8640 : Electrochimie
ACS Catal. 2018, 8, 4812−4823
The mechanism of boron-to-nickel transmetalation, the key step of the nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) coupling, was examined both experimentally and theoretically. Dinuclear μ -hydroxo-bridged complexes formed by reaction of trans[ArNi(PR3)2X] with hydroxide are not directly involved in transmetalation, but they rather act as a resting state for the catalyst. The base/boronic acid ratio is the crucial parameter, as it modulates the extent of formation of these dinuclear species and thus tunes the catalytic activity. These findings explain some limitations encountered in practical applications of nickel-catalyzed S-M couplings and suggest how to tailor the experimental conditions in order to overcome these difficulties.
Electrochemistry Communications 86 (2018) 145–148
An elegant hanging-droplet or meniscus-based setup is proposed to carry out quantitative electrolyses from either an organic (hydroquinone) or an inorganic (permanganate) substrate. These examples validate the concept of using such easily accessible, fast (1–3 min) and low-cost operating conditions not only for preparative applications (electrosynthesis), but also for pedagogical purposes in minute samples.
Electrochimica Acta 260 (2018) 589-597
Three rhodamine derivatives exhibiting electrofluorochromic properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and UVeVis/fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry. Rhodamine 101 (Rh101, compound 1) was used as a reference model. In compound 2, the carboxylate anion of Rh101 was replaced by an alkyne moiety to allow further functionalization. The compound 3 was prepared from 2 by conversion of the alkyne to a triazole group bearing an alkyl chain with an alcohol function. These three rhodamine derivatives exhibited similar electrochemical behaviors. Their mono-electronic reductions produced the corresponding radical species which were stable on the time-scale of cyclic voltammetry. Additional reduction of electrogenerated radicals produced unstable anions which underwent subsequent chemical reaction, most likely protonation. Based on cyclic voltammetry investigations, absorption and fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry were then performed on compounds 1, 2, 3 and their parent reduced radicals 1a, 2a, 3a. UVeVis spectroelectrochemistry, combined with TD-DFT calculation, confirmed the formation of radicals upon mono-electronic reduction of starting rhodamines. Fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry showed that, contrary to their parent molecules, electrogenerated radicals were non-fluorescent. Electrochemical fluorescence extinction was successfully achieved with all studied compounds. Moreover, compound 1 underwent on/off switching between fluorescent and nonfluorescent states repeatedly. Also, recovery of fluorescence in compound 3 was observed, which open interesting opportunities for the development of versatile rhodamine-based probes.
ACS Catalysis, 2017, 7 (7), pp 4253–4264
Experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies on the Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed hydroamination reaction of terminal allenes with secondary amines reveal that in-situ generated cationic Cu(I) is the catalytically active species and explain the observed regio- and stereoselectivity for the unbranched E product. Insight about the structure of the relevant transition states allowed the generalization of this methodology to allenamides and N-allenylcarbamates under unprecedentedly mild and functional group tolerant conditions. Chelation effect by the amide oxygen in addition to electronic effects explain the high innate reactivity of this class of substrates.
Nat. Commun., 8, 15274
Strategies to harness photosynthesis from living organisms to generate electrical power have long been considered, yet efficiency remains low. Here, we aimed to reroute photosynthetic electron flow in photosynthetic organisms without compromising their phototrophic properties. We show that 2,6-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone (DMBQ) can be used as an electron mediator to assess the efficiency of mutations designed to engineer a novel electron donation pathway downstream of the primary electron acceptor QA of Photosystem (PS) II in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Through the use of structural prediction studies and a screen of site-directed PSII mutants we show that modifying the environment of the QA site increases the reduction rate of DMBQ. Truncating the C-terminus of the PsbT subunit protruding in the stroma provides evidence that shortening the distance between QA and DMBQ leads to sustained electron transfer to DMBQ, as confirmed by chronoamperometry, consistent with a bypass of the natural QA°- to QB pathway.

Anyone who's watched Christian Pulisic play for the United States can't possibly question his commitment to his country. His work rate and willingness to embrace physical play is readily apparent.
As it turns out, he wears his pride on his sleeve. Like, he actually does. All the time.
Shortly after being substituted off during the USMNT's 4-0 thrashing of Panama on Friday, ESPN's television cameras glimpsed a shirtless Pulisic on the bench, and a tattoo on his left upper-arm caught everybody's attention:

Yes, that appears to be a giant bald eagle in front of a giant American flag.
Thanks in large part to Pulisic, the United States is nearly guaranteed to qualify for the World Cup next summer in Russia. How the Yanks do from there is anyone's guess.
But it won't be for lack of effort. Especially not from Pulisic.

Paul now gets a vision to enter into Greece for missional work, and this means he enters into what we today call Europe. While it is popular to make a big deal of this, it was all the Roman Empire at that time. Paul enters because of a vision about a man from Macedonia (pictured).
16:6 They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in the province of Asia. 16:7 When they came to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to do this, 16:8 so they passed through Mysia and went down to Troas. 16:9 A vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there urging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!" 16:10 After Paul saw the vision, we attempted immediately to go over to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
Missional work involves, at times and probably not for all, listening to the Spirit of God to guide and direct and to set the agenda. We don't know who this "man" is; we don't know that he was from Philippi; we do know that Paul sensed that God was calling him to Macedonia.

Disaster and a waste of several hours. I was playing around with Window's Game Center and it had the option to record your mic, default is off. Shadowplay had no such indication. It just recorded. Easy peezy. I assumed this meant no hot mic and only the gameplay would be recorded. I was wrong. Audacity recorded my audio and Shadowplay recorded both my audio and my gameplay sound. So since they've been mixed into a Frankenstein(ian?) monster I had to figure out a way to potentially make it work. Stripping the audio out sounded impossible and a giant chore even if it was possible with the tools on hand. Maybe I can sync up everything so that my audacity audio perfectly overlays and drowns out my other commentary. Nope. Now I just sound like I'm a choir boy and singing my commentary. Or at the very least there is a spooky echo. Fuck.
Well I might as well check out how the audio turned out. At least Audacity didn't hurt me… I'm quiet and tinny. Fooling around with the settings is of no avail. Apparently the Slyr headset is only good for Skype and Curse chat and not much else. Time to actually do research into audio recording equipment. SIGH.
The best way I've found to go about figuring out your equipment is shamelessly creeping on your favorite LP'ers. I've found the answers to my questions everywhere. Sometimes they have websites like this one where it is all listed because they get asked so much. Other times they answer random YouTube comments asking about it. Even more rarely, they might do an AMA on Reddit where they answer questions posed by Reddit's user base.
My favorite LP group is Best Friends Play and after a little digging on Reddit it turns out they use a Snowball mic. $50 poorer and I've ordered a fancy new mic to help me record audio that sounds slightly better than hot garbage. It gets here Wednesday 10/26/16 and then maybe I can make some magic happen.
Until then this project is on hold and I'm out a few hours of my day figuring stuff out. Think I'm just going to scrap the Metro 2033 project. I'd have to re-record everything from the beginning and I'd feel fake redoing it. "Oh ha ha I made this funny comment last time that I'm totally making off the cuff this time around as well!" HA.
Until next time.

John and I were in New York last week attending the NYNow gift show. Last year I went as an exhibitor; this time I was a buyer. Or, I should probably say, a "looker." I did place some orders, but mostly I spent my time looking, my senses wide open and tingling, absorbing the dazzling array of colors, textures, scents, fonts, graphics – all the facets of what's happening right now in design and merchandising.
I'd ask myself, What attracts me? What feels fresh? What feels a bit stale? And how would our customers respond? I was taken with the oranges and reds and intense turquoises, with moss and galvanized steel and soft fluffy spring things.
There were workshops and seminars that left me buzzing about all the things I should be doing for my business but probably don't have time to do: Re-arrange the shop weekly! Pitch our "story" to the media! Send samples to prominent bloggers in hopes of getting reviewed! Update our photography!
How to digest this over-stimulation, this kaleidoscope of wonders?
Nature is providing an answer: it's telling us to hunker down at home, surrounded by mountains of dirty snow and ice, waiting for the next blizzard to arrive sometime tonight. John has the flu. I have started to sneeze a lot. Maybe I'll go make some soup.
What a difference a week makes!

A message from Miriam & Erin from The Salmon Project-
We know you celebrate your salmon love every day of the summer, but this Thursday is the second annual (official) #aksalmonday and it's going viral.
To make it easy to participate, we've gathered ten of our favorite salmon actions — and there's something for everyone, including you. We promise.
Top ten ways to celebrate Alaska Wild Salmon Day:
- Read the special section about using Alaska's natural resources in our Constitution
- Share your favorite experience catching a salmon on social media and tag it #aksalmonday
- Read a salmon bedtime story to your children
- Sign the petition to support House Bill 199 to protect wild salmon in Alaska
- Head to your favorite salmon river and pick up trash
- Study the differences between the five types of Pacific salmon (then quiz your friends)
- Vote with your fork — ask for Alaska wild at the grocery store and in restaurants
- Watch the short film, "Xboundary" about protecting salmon rivers in Southeast Alaska from Canadian mines
- Have a salmon dip contest — who uses the tastiest recipe?
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper on what healthy salmon runs mean to you
Curious how Alaska Wild Salmon Day got started? Here's the unofficial story. We like to take a little bit of credit, but Alaskans being Alaskans, it was only a matter of time before we had an official day to celebrate our salmon love.
Happy Alaska Wild Salmon Day!

Skip to comments.Why Is Jimmy Carter So Disastrously Wrong on the Middle East?
Posted on 05/05/2008 5:24:38 AM PDT by SJackson
click here to read article
He was wrong and totally oblivious as President and he STILL is.
It's more complicated than that.
Jimmeh Cahtuh (and the Cahtuh Centah) is owned -- lock, stock & barrel -- by the Saudis.
"It's simple, because he hasn't changed and always will be a liberal Democrat".
My statement is my point made. ; )
Because Carter has been wrong about
damn near everything and didnt want to damage his legacy?
That's the because.
...because Jimmy Carter's head has lodged itself in a very dark, personal space and Ole Rabbit Teeth cannot remove it.
This goes way back. Here's an excerpt from a 1980 Time magazine article about his brother Billy:
"I am just an ordinary citizen from a small Southern community," said the nervous, chain-smoking witness before a Senate subcommittee last week. But little was ordinary about the fact that Billy Carter had come to the ornate Senate Caucus Room, the famed site of the Teapot Dome, McCarthy and Watergate hearings. He was there to testify under oath about his controversial relations with the government of Libya. Soft-spoken and attired in a three-piece suit, he was no longer playing his old role as the Carter family clown. Indeed, in concluding a carefully crafted 27-page opening statement, he said, "I hope this testimony will show in common-sense fashion that Billy Carter is not a 'buffoon,' a 'boob' or a 'wacko,' as some public figures have described him."
In this, Billy appears to have succeeded. And although his judgment in choosing friends and business associates may remain open to question, he performed rather well in responding to the Senate panel's two main lines of questioning: 1) Had he used his position as the President's brother to influence U.S. policy toward Libya, a radical country with which Washington maintains subzero relations? 2) What were the details involving the $220,000 that he had received from a Libyan bank? In nine hours of testimony over two days, the Senators learned little that was new about either matter. Billy confirmed that he had visited Libya in 1978 and again the following year; he had played host, in turn, to a Libyan delegation to Georgia in January 1979; he had tried to arrange, without success, for the Charter Crude Oil Co. of Jacksonville to obtain Libyan crude oil; and he had received one check from the Libyans for $20,000 in December 1979 and another for $200,000 the following April 1.
Throughout the testimony, Billy insisted that there was nothing wrong with these transactions. He conceded that he probably "had been invited [to Libya] because I was the brother of the President," but he maintained that he made it very clear to his hosts that he "had absolutely no influence" on U.S. policies. To show how pointless any such effort would have been, Billy told the Senators that "when Jimmy was Governor of Georgia," the state "repaved the streets of Plains with one exception the small portion of street in front of my house."
As for the $220,000 from Libya, Billy insisted that it was simply an advance on a $500,000 loan. Senators greeted this claim with understandable skepticism, especially since no loan papers were signed and there was no documentary evidence of collateral.
When Senators demanded proof that the money was indeed just a loan, Billy said that there was "just my word."
Sorry. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

ref="http://www.cityam.com/company/card-factory">CARD factory, the budget greetings cards chain which floated on the London Stock Exchange last month, said yesterday it has completed a £200m refinancing.
The group said the refinancing deal, which it set out last month at the time of the float, includes a £180m term loan facility and a £20m revolving facility, both with a five-year maturity.
Card Factory, which has 700 stores, raised £90m through its initial public offering, which it used to pay down its £160m debt-pile and bring down financing costs.
Shares in the retailer rose 3.5 per cent to 207p yesterday but are still below their 225p offer price.

with Jim Budlong
June 25 – July 13, 2018(no class on July 4)
The skills learned in making a simple and elegant solid-door wall cabinet can be used in a variety of projects. In this session, students will begin by selecting cabinet elements from a plank, with consideration of color and grain graphics in mind.
Primary techniques to be experienced in this class include edge joining, re-sawing, doweling, frame-and-panel work, and door hinging.
Learning is not limited to methods, but will also involve the discovery of a sensitive, flexible approach to building.
A limited variety of wood species will be available for student purchase in the construction of the cabinet. Those who have a special plank are encouraged to bring it. A two-inch plank with a minimum width of six inches, totaling twelve board feet, will allow for room for choices. Bring extra if you have it.

At least it will finally kill that horrid Caliber. But its just a re-branded fiat (not that its bad) But eventually nothing Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep makes will be a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep it will be something spawned from a Fiat/Lancia/Alfa platform. The company isn't considered a domestic nor is it an American company anymore and that is sad. It's sad to me that the only way Chrysler could become competitive and better again was for it to become a foreign car maker. I think the cars they make will be better, better looking, better performing, better built...but they won't be real Chryslers, and Dodges, and that might just be a good thing for a change, but a failure of the American spirit.
Spike J wrote:
There's no way a Fiat can be rebranded as a Jeep Wrangler and/or Liberty or whatever the @!#$ it's replacement's name will be (hopefully Cherokee). Fiat has the small cars done right which is what Chrysler lacks and most likely be all that gets rebranded from Fiat. Fiat has taken Chrylser's lineup and rebranded them as Lancia's. Once again Chrysler really hasn't been an American Company since 1999 when Daimler/Benz took over and screwed mostly everything up. At least now they are in capable hands
As for the Dart, I'll wait till I see it to comment on it. Hope they do the name justice though.
Jookycola wrote:
What year did Daimler take over? Because i hate break it to you Chrysler built sh*t cars long before Benz stepped into the picture. I won't fault you they may have not improved anything....but they didn't screw anything up either. All Benz did is let Chrysler be Chrysler while they profited from it.
And uh about you thinking There is no way Fiat can rebrand a vehicle as a Jeep Liberty....Got some bad news for you:
The Jeep SUV will be built on a broader platform based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a car built by Fiat
* 2014 Jeep Midsize SUV: This Fiat-based SUV will eventually replace the Jeep Liberty in 2013.
The new Jeep SUV will replace the Liberty for the 2013 model year and will be Chrysler's first vehicle to ride on a Fiat platform.
So yes Fiat CAN rebrand as well as develop it own Jeeps. The OWN Chrysler group, it's a fully owned brand of Fiat. They can do anything they want. Thank you, drive through.
Spike J wrote:
Gee it seems like we've done this debate before . No FREAKING @!#$ they were building junk cars before Daimler took over, Daimler made them worse by pilfering away with the great designers Chrysler had and replacing somewhat decent looking Neon & Stratus/Sebring with the Caliber and Avenger/Sebring.
As for the rebranded Fiat/Jeep we'll see how that does in offroad testing, you never know it might not pass muster and Jeep guys will have to come up with something different.
Jookycola wrote:But that's true. Chrysler was taking off in the 90s quite nicely. If you didn't like them then, or knew of a person that had an issue, then that's another thing. I will admit one thing pre-Daimler era... anything related with Mitsubishi, like their old 2.5L V6, 3.0L V6 found in the 90s Avenger, or the Eagle Talon was really an anchor for Chrysler. But just like Mercedes sells overpriced commuter crap, that philosophy was handed to Chrysler for the new millennium, albeit at bargain prices instead.
I hate when people try to make it sound like Daimler ruined Chrysler.

Did I miss it in the wall of text? FWD/AWD/RWD??? I'm going to assume, realistically, it will be FWD but damn, even to a non-purist like me it's just so wrong to pin the Dart name on a non-RWD car...

Who We Are
Narosia: Sea of Tears
07 - Existential Threats
Sample Threats
Aberration (Voidspawn): Howler [HERO]
Corrupted (Endrori): Skratta [HERO]
Undead (Unliving): Bloodless [HERO]
While the world is full of people who may be very real enemies to some, the existence of Narosia faces three primary threats: Endroren, the Qliphothic, and the Undead. There is no alliance between these threats, as their motivations are entirely different and alien. Their presence on Narosia is a fundamental part of its history.
From Darkness Below
The rise of The Fel is the story of the rise of elemental evil through the fall of Endroren from light into shadow. Once the Lord of Essence and grantor of the gift of Sorcery, Endroren was cast out of the Halls of Lensae by his fellow Enaros for bestowing a gift that allowed mortals to command the power of the gods. Retreating into the shadows of existence, Endroren embraced The Fel he found there until it corrupted his own essence and motivated his vengeance, resulting in the near subversion of the world. To this day The Fel poisons the flow of essence, amplifying and empowering evil intent.
Endroren now lies chained to the center of the world. His prison was architected to drain Fel Essence from the surface, moving those who desire it to follow. Although he cannot walk amongst the people as the other Enaros can, his influence can still be felt through the shadows and the Fel Essence that flows therein. His creations continue to lurk there as well, often in league with those fallen souls who profit from misery, cruelty and pain.
Endrori are the minions of Endroren. When Endroren fell from Lensae he gathered each race the Enaros had created and used The Fel to reshape them. These twisted creations became the horde that stormed the Light, established the Age of Darkness, and nearly enslaved the world. Although beaten back and locked in their Deepland prison, pockets of Endrori can be found in the darkest corners of the world or slip through broken seals in a relentless drive to establish a new Age of Darkness.
Abomonae, fiendish manifestations of The Fel, are the fiends created by Endroren to drive his horde. Although closely bound to Endroren's own essence and drawn deeper to bathe in his Fel glory, corrupt plots cause them to rise from the shadows and strike at the Light.
Fel Essence is essence corrupted by elemental evil and sourced from Endroren. Ever present in the ambient essence, it flows like the silt of a river, tempting any who desire power to shape it and stirred by those motivated by cruelty, hate, and possessed of evil purpose. It responds to a shaper's touch more readily than natural essence and manifests greater power. A spell shaped purely of Fel Essence can even transcend the Malanoor, bypassing the will of the gods. Even the untrained can use their hate or fear to shape it to their will, manifesting dangerous, untempered power. However, this has a price, and weak-minded fools who draw more Fel Essence than they can manage risk corrupting their own essence, ultimately succumbing to The Fel as one of the Fallen.
The Fallen reflect the vilest motivations of mortalkin. These are individuals irredeemably corrupted by Fel Essence and in the thrall of Endroren. Physically they are shadows of their former selves and very clearly agents of cruelty and pain. Mentally they retain all previous knowledge, inverting their love and exaggerating their hate. The farther one falls from the Light, the more power one commands in shadow.
Even creatures can be corrupted. Such Fel Beasts have had their animal instincts twisted by hate and rage to become vile shadows of their former forms.
Through The Void, Beyond The Pale
Across the void of space, beyond the pale of reality and dreams, can be found primordial horrors. Driven by entropy, these unknowable manifestations of chaos pursue elemental destruction, seeking to alter what it means to exist. These entities are reflections of the Qliphothic, which even the most learned of scholars can best describe as sentient primordial energy.
Defining the Qliphothic is not possible. It exists simultaneously as a primordial energy, a reflection of that energy in the form of sentient entities, and shards of reality that might be described as worlds that exist beyond dreams. It is impossible to refer to one aspect of Qliphothic without implying another. These are things that should not be known, yet he who knows them commands terrible power.
The most basic manifestation of the Qliphothic, Voidspawn are the chaotic mutations of living things. While most often encountered as horrible animals or even plants, the most terrifying are mutated Enari or Endrori, possessed of horrible intelligence and driven in madness towards pure destruction.
There is no known taxonomy of demons, as their forms are as varied in both shape and power as the stars in the sky. Sometimes called by those who serve the Qliphothic, there number also grows from their original incursion during the Cataclysm. The appearance of a demon often heralds a plague of Voidspawn, so any hint of them instills great fear.
Elemental Evil And The Undead
The Fel is a meta-element, existing beyond air, earth, fire, water, space, and time. It rises from the shadow of the universe cast by the energies of life. While its corrupting force on Narosia is usually felt through the manipulations of Endroren, it also manifests through the corruption of lost souls who are unable to reach the Golden Halls of Lensae, creating undead abominations focused on nothing more than consuming life itself.
The Unliving are the most prevalent form of undead, unborn from the corpses of the forgotten dead. They rise, looking to consume life until they have regained an evil sentience that enables them to expand their feeding grounds. Thus a simple bloodless skeleton can rise to become a mighty vampire.
Thralls are the minions of the undead, serving either a magical master or a higher order Unliving. They have no will of their own and are exemplified in the classic sense by created skeletons, zombies, and mummies.
Shades are those souls that have been so corrupted by the Fel that they need not use the dead as a conduit to the physical world. They are abile to manifest as spectral forms of pure evil and also share the Unliving's lust for life essence.

I just completed the latest session of my drawing class: Basic Drawing Skills. It was a really great class and a lot of fun. I am constantly learning from teaching this class, learning about the process of drawing and also about the connection between drawing and who we are as people. Realistic drawing seems to touch us at a very deep level.
In this class we practice the drawing skills that are taught by using them in portraits. I very much enjoy trying to draw accurate portraits. I did this profile of Willie Nelson after the class was over simply as a challenge. I admire him as a person and I wanted to render a wrinkled face without allowing the wrinkles to dominate the face. I also like this type of lighting, with the highlight area not being the eyes. The eyes are so significant that they draw our attention anyway but with this type of lighting we take a little trip before we get to the eyes.
I will be offering this class again in the fall. If you are interested in improving your drawing skills or would like information on this class click here.

Fate and Feminism
In both Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw and The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan, the reader is pushed to understand the nature of feminists in a new way. This purpose is carried out with the use of multiple feminist characters, a drastic change in a characters outlook on their situation, and the concept of making your own destiny. The
protagonists in both of these literary works is female, and they are amazingly similar considering Shaw wrote Pygmalion eighty seven years before The Kitchen God's Wife was published in 1991.
Both of these works use several feminist characters to help the reader understand the theme. At the start of Pygmalion, Liza is 'quite a common girl' (35, Shaw) and Higgins treats her as if she is a new toy. He degrades her, calls her 'horribly dirty' (40, Shaw) and a 'draggletailed guttersnipe'. Once he decides that he wants to play, once Colonel Pickering offers to pay for all of the expenses on a bet, he tells Mrs. Pearce to 'take her away and clean her' (41, Shaw). Mrs Pearce often fights on Liza's behalf during the play, which teaches Liza how to stand up for herself as a lady would. Clara, a girl that Liza meets later in the play at Mrs. Higgins is also a feminist character. She tells her mother outright that she's too
'old-fashioned' (81, Shaw) and that 'nobody means anything by it' (81, Shaw) when they are using 'the new small talk' (80, Shaw).
In comparison, The Kitchen God's Wife contains three feminist characters. Winnie, the protagonist; her friend, Helen; and her cousin, Peanut. Winnie is a feminist right from the start of the novel, however she does not know how to express that. She feels that 'she was forgotten' (322, Tan) by everyone around her. Winnie is trapped by her family in a marriage that she is given no choice but to stick around. Helen is a feminist character because of her backgound. She grew up poor, and only married a pilot because he had inadvertently killed her sister, and felt guilty....
