How to Create a Fundraising Video Even if You Have No Ideas for what to Show, Have Never Picked Up a Camera and Don't Know Where to Get Started.
This Step-by-Step Guide is What Stands Between You and Attracting New Nonprofit Donors, and Retaining Existing ones.
What Keeps You Up At Night?
- Would you like to attract and retain more donors to your nonprofit and finally enjoy a peaceful night's sleep?
- Do you wish people could see just how great of a positive impact your nonprofit is making on your community?
- Are you struggling to create awesome high impact videos that thrive on social media and youtube?
I Understand Because I've Been There
I have experienced what it's like to be in "constant fundraising mode":
- always searching for more donors;
- always watching the bank account to make sure you can meet payroll this month;
- always trying to figure out how to convince others that yours is a cause worthy of their support.
Unfortunately, passion alone is not enough to keep your nonprofit sustainable.
Since 2009, I've helped numerous nonprofit organizations tell their stories and missions through the power of video.
If A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words, A Video Is Worth Millions.
I've also had many people come up to me at nonprofit fundraisers in tears, telling me how moved they were by the video they'd just seen, and how great it was to see that they were supporting an organization that was making such a difference in their people's lives.
You see, when it comes to capturing emotions and showing your impact, video is way more engaging than pictures and text. And you have the ablility to create compelling video stories for your nonprofit organization.
Who Me? But I've Never…
So you've never shot a video in your life? Your videos always come out shakey?
You've never been good with technology? Or you just don't know where to start?
Relax. This ebook was created with you in mind. It provides you with step-by-step guidance on what to do each day, so all you have to do is follow the system, and take the next step. A little bit each day goes a long way.
- Being able to capture the hearts and minds of potential donors at every meeting.
- Retaining current donors year after year because they truly understand where their money is going and how it's making a difference.
- Finally getting a good night's rest because you've managed to raise next year's budget for your nonprofit organization.
I've helped nonprofits tell their stories through video year after year…
This video is absolutely stunning. I want you to know how much I've loved playing this (again and again) over the last 24 hours. You are a truly gifted communicator and we're thrilled you're sharing our story.
– Seth Green, Executive Director, Y.O.U. Evanston
Five of us watched it at the CIF office and we had 4/5 people crying! I feel like with the tone of the video and what is said, we captured exactly what we hoped for. Thank you thank you so much, it's really a beautiful piece!
– Jane Doyle, Executive Director, Center For Independent Futures
Now I want to help you too…
Get instant access to an easy-to-follow ebook that will walk you step-by-step through the process of creating your very first video for your nonprofit. I've made sure to include lots of visuals and examples, and even have a 30-day plan to get you from zero to awesome video to your next new donor and more.
Why Only $7?
You may be thinking, "How good could a $7 ebook be?" Here are reasons why I'm selling this at $7 for a limited time.
- I remember what it's like to be part of a nonprofit organization struggling to keep the doors open and the lights on. $7 makes sure this ebook is as accessible to as many nonprofits as possible. Every nonprofit needs to harness the power of video storytelling, and this isn't too expensive.
- At the same time, I want to work with nonprofit professionals who are serious about taking the next step into video storytelling. Anyone not ready to invest $7 into this ebook isn't going to put the time into following the step-by-step guide.
- Anyone who IS serious enough to invest the price of two lattes to buy this guide has the opportunity to attract new donors to their nonprofit.
- Since this is my first ebook, I'm offering a special deal for my "pioneer batch". I'd love to hear your honest feedback before I release it to the rest of the world at a higher price.
- I look at this as the beginning of an ongoing relationship with you. Help me help you. Show me you can and are willing to take the steps, and I'll do all I can to help take you to the next level.
If you were to do this on your own, you would end up spending thousands of dollars on film school, or hiring a professional, and hours upon hours of your precious time trying to figure everything out. Everyone at your nonprofit's already stretched. What would having a step-by-step guide complete with a 30-day plan be worth to you?
Guaranteed For Life…
This ebook also comes with a risk-free 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you for any reason are not satisfied with your purchase, I give you a 100% refund immediately. I've made it a no brainer.
Seize This Opportunity Now
The sooner you get started, the sooner you can be attracting new donors and retaining existing ones with your new compelling nonprofit video. Get on your way to more donors and more peace of mind.
Get instant access to 30 Days to Nonprofit Donors and choose your package below.
Want a little more help? I'm happy to guide you.

Environmental Efforts
At Glacier Guides and Montana Raft, we take our commitment to environmental efforts, in conjunction with our mission statement, very seriously. After all, we live in an area that is experiencing rapid change due to climate patterns.
Our mission is to provide exceptional active travel vacations and experiences in and around Glacier National Park while preserving and protecting Glacier's unique ecosystem using the best available ecologically sound practices. And that means the best environmental efforts, too.
We are committed to being an environmentally responsible business and are continually looking for new ways to improve our environmental efforts and practices. At Glacier Guides and Montana Raft, we look forward to sharing Glacier National Park with guests for generations to come. Join us in our support the National Park Service, the United States Forest Service, and the surrounding communities in our collective efforts to preserve and conserve the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.
Our Environmental Efforts Include:
- Preserving the entrance to Glacier National Park by maintaining a vegetative screen and refusing to use billboards.
- Teaching and practicing Leave No Trace ethics on all our trips.
- Recycling paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastics, steel, automobile oil, and batteries.
- Using post consumer paper in our printing and brochures.
- Purchasing wind power and hydro power (as a second option) to fulfill our electric needs.
- Using free trade and Energy Star products when available.
- Using refillable dispensers for shampoo and conditioner in our lodge.
- Using reusable dinnerware (plates, silverware and cups) instead of disposable ones on our trips.
- No longer selling bottled water (we sell refillable bottles instead).
- Selling more souvenirs with "Made in the USA" and "Eco-Sensitive" materials.
- Converting all of our light bulbs to more efficient compact fluorescent.
- In 1997, we founded Rafting for Refuse, a river clean up on the Middle Fork and North Fork of the Flathead River. Since then it has become an annual event. We have since added our "Rafting for Charity" events as well.
- We are proud to be one of the founding sponsors of ClimateRide.org, a bicycle ride promoting responsible energy use and positive action toward climate change.
- Buying organic and local food whenever possible for our trips.
Local Business Environmental Efforts
The following are just some of the local companies that we are working with:
- Lifeline Farms – Victor, MT
- Great Northern Pasta Company – Whitefish, MT
- Half Moon Eggs – Columbia Falls, MT
- Kalispell Creamery – Kalispell, MT
- Mountain View Garden – Kalispell, MT
- Two Bear Farm – Whitefish, MT
Perfect Cuts Meats – Columbia Falls, MT
- Wheat Montana – Kalispell, MT
- Montana Huckleberry Haven – Kalispell, MT
- Western Montana Farmer's Co-op
Recognition of Our Commitment to Environmental Efforts
In 2017, Climate Smart Glacier Country chosen Glacier Guides and Montana Raft as its Climate Smart Business Champion, for sustainable practices and environmental leadership in the hospitality sector.
In 2012, 2013, 2014, and again in 2015, Glacier Guides and Montana Raft was honored by Montana State University, in conjunction with the Montana Governor's Office, with an EcoStar Award for our pollution prevention efforts.
We are supporters of TAP (Travelers Against Plastic). Their goal (and ours) is to get travelers to consider treating their own water while traveling, as opposed to buying bottled water. By doing so, we can avoid the disposal of billions of water bottles around the world each year.
Glacier Guides and Montana Raft was in the first class from the Flathead Valley to graduate from the UnCommon Sense Program, a two year program set up by the Yellowstone Business Partnership that helps businesses further their environmental efforts. The above video was made for that program, and gives a glimpse into our environmental efforts and concerns.
Every little bit counts.

Series: Masters Among Monsters, #2
Published by Ella Frank LLC on January 11, 2016
Genres: Enemies to Lovers, Erotica, Paranormal
Pages: 339 pages
Buy on Amazon
Isadora Nikitas understands what it means to be betrayed. That lesson was taught to her in the prime of her life, and when she is offered a chance to exact revenge, she finds it difficult to refuse.
Instead, she entrusts her survival to a mysterious vampire known only as Diomêdês, a male who wants nothing in return but to watch over her—in every way imaginable.
Gifted with speed, strength, and immortality, she determines that her life will no longer be governed by the needs and wants of a mere man. She has cowered for the last time, and with her Ancient by her side, she thrives and blossoms into the most formidable female vampire in existence.
But, once upon a time, like all little girls, Isadora believed in love. She believed it because she once had it. So, when it comes along a second time, she knows that it's possible—but when you love someone, they become your weakness. Unless, in fact, they become your enemy instead…
Fulfilling your life's prophecy should be empowering. At least, that's what Elias Fontana always believed. But, as he stands guard over the beautiful vampire he's taken hostage, his convictions start to crumble. Made to believe by his creators that he and two others have been designed to destroy a dangerous race, he has difficulty connecting his current reality to the woman he once loved.
When friends become enemies and enemies become lovers, who can you trust in the webs of lies and despair? And, when your life is at stake and blood has been shed, how much are you willing to sacrifice to fulfill your destiny?
OMG. OMG. OMFG. This book. This book is my wet dream come to life. If you enjoy paranormal fiction w/ juicy, naughty m/m, f/f angst then this is for you, my friend. You. MUST. READ. THIS. Bear with me while I bounce around like a mad woman here with this one. We meet Isadora in Volume 1, Alasdair, she's feisty and doesn't discriminate if you know what I mean. She's beautiful, cunning, hungry, carnal and sexy AF!!! I hadn't even finished Alasdair yet and I already couldn't WAIT for Isadora's book. We get some conclusions in her book and previews of others. Isadora's story is vivid, heartbreaking and so much fun to read about. I know this isn't the end of Isadora's story. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her in Volume 3, and thank GOD we don't have to wait that long.
Ella. She. Is. Brilliant. The transitions in all of her books are like silk. While others balk at the different POV's, this book as well as Alasdair read like a movie being played out in front of me. Never did I question whose mind I was in while reading or had to go back to clarify anything. When I said wet dream come to life, this book really, really was. I love vampire ANYTHING. I devoured other paranormal/vampire books but these? JAYSUS. These DO NOT compare to the others, they just don't. For whatever reason, f/f was not a genre I'd touched on yet, I kept hearing mixed reviews on it. Ella definitely popped my f/f cherry and she did not disappoint! I knew that Isadora's book would touch on the f/f aspect and she executed it brilliantly. Ella mixed my twisted obsession with vampires, m/m/f/f lovin' AND topped it with Greek mythology cherry all into one delicious sundae bowl.
March CANNOT come fast enough!!!!!!

MD4,5; Hommel, Kevin A. PhD1,3*Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: July 2011 - Volume 17 - Issue 7 - p 1581–1586 doi: 10.1002/ibd.21520 Original Clinical Articles Abstract Author Information Background: Approximately 20%-25% of all inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases have an onset in childhood or adolescence. Beyond disease severity, little is known regarding determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in this population. This study aimed to identify behavioral correlates of HRQOL and examine behavioral/emotional dysfunction (e.g., internalizing/externalizing symptoms) as the mechanism through which disease severity impacts HRQOL. Methods: In all, 62 adolescents (mean = 15.47 years, standard deviation [SD] = 1.42) with IBD (79% Crohn's disease) and their parents were recruited from one of two pediatric IBD specialty clinics located in the Midwest or Northeast region of the United States. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Youth Self-Report version of the Child Behavior Checklist, and the IMPACT-III. Disease severity was calculated for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis using standardized measures. Results: Greater disease severity, externalizing symptoms, and internalizing symptoms were all independently associated with lower HRQOL. Furthermore, internalizing symptoms partially mediated the relationship between disease activity and HRQOL, reducing the effect of disease severity on HRQOL from 22% to 9% in the mediation model. A Sobel test examining the significance of the indirect effect of disease severity on HRQOL via behavioral dysfunction was marginally nonsignificant (P =.053). Conclusions: Nondisease-specific variables (e.g., behavioral dysfunction) play an important role in impacting HRQOL. Behavioral dysfunction serves as the mechanism through which disease severity partially impacts HRQOL. Continued research to identify other predictors of HRQOL in pediatric IBD will greatly enhance our future ability to design interventions to improve HRQOL and maximize health outcomes.

Teri Hatcher, star of ABC's "Desperate Housewives", is in phenomenal shape for her age and has to work to keep that body looking good. Hiking through some LA parks is one way Teri keeps fit. However I am still trying to figure out what exactly she was digging for down her pants. She isn't wearing shorts so she is either just enjoy the feel or she hides her keys down there someplace.

Just about every religious holiday and every time she goes out of town and visits some shrine somewhere, my young assistant, Kathleen, brings me back something to remind me of our mutual Catholicism. St. Christopher and St. Patrick medals, a book of novenas and a brass Celtic cross are among the most recent gifts. (I once got her a T-shirt with the name of a church on it, OK?)
One time, she wrote a little note on the card that said something like, "Maybe this will help." What she means is, help me avoid going to H-E-double-toothpicks. Because she sees her job as not only returning phone calls and e-mails, doing some research and working on my Web page, but also as saving my wretched soul.
This value-added service might not earn her any extra money from Papa Register, but it should cut down on her own personal sentence in purgatory for the times she hid the blow dryer from her sister, or whatever.
As wretched as I am – she is under the impression my occasional bishop-bashing has me headed for an eternal audience with The Prince of Darkness – I am not so wretched that I could ignore an invitation to the Diocese of Orange's Catholic Woman of the Year Luncheon. Kathleen's note to me about it: "This is a chance for you to redeem yourself – perhaps you can say something kind about the volunteers????"
Are those extra question marks something they're teaching in journalism classes these days, or is this her form of expressing anger? The invitation, sans note, actually originated with Kathleen's mother, whom I personally believe, although I've no proof, is the primary motivating force behind saving my wretched soul.
(I should note that while Kathleen's mother is working on getting me to my heavenly reward, her mother's brother, Kathleen's Uncle Johnny, is providing me with much in the way of what I need to find my heaven here on Earth, namely, the occasional fine Romeo & Julietta or Macanudo from his Tustin cigar shop. It is my personal theology that these two forms of heaven, celestial and terrestrial, are not mutually exclusive.)
As much as I really wanted to go to this luncheon and as much as the very hands that type this venomous screed each day thrilled at the possibility of again feeling the icy grip of Bishop Tod Brown, I knew it would be depriving young Kathleen of a perfect opportunity to stretch her fledgling journalism skills. So I sent her in my place. Her report:
"The 39 nominees from different parishes paraded through the Crystal Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Irvine to the strains of 'When the Saints Go Marching In' as the annual Catholic Woman of the Year Luncheon began.
"The theme was 'Angels in our Midst.' What angels these ladies are. It was inspiring to hear of their volunteerism. Father Steve Sallot of St. Edward the Confessor Church in Dana Point announced each devoted woman's name as Bishop Tod Brown presented them with a certificate. Seven hundred attendees were on hand to applaud this year's winner, Kay Moynahan of St. Philip Benizi Church in Buena Park.
"Moynahan, 70, serves as a Eucharistic minister for the sick, works with the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults program, and is a board member of the Secular Order of Servants of Mary. She also contributes her time to Catholic Charities, St. Jude's Hospital Spiritual Care program, and teaches English with Pro Sanctity.
"In a gentle voice, barely above a whisper, she stated, 'I am just very humble and grateful for this moment.'
"A special treat was to see a faithful Frank Mickadeit reader, Teress Weber, my seventh-grade English teacher, serving as the official photographer for the event. With the luncheon over, we departed with the words from the president of the Catholic Charities Auxiliary, Joyce Brown, who said, 'When you leave the room, be so happy to be Catholic.' I know I did."
Well done, Kathleen. You even managed to suck up to your boss. We just need to work on your cynicism.

We went for a wedding celebration, staying several nights. Hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. And the venue for the wedding was amazing! Only negative comments I have are regarding the washroom; shower head size and water pressure are inadequate for how large and beautiful the shower itself is, and the cleanliness (or lack of) of the hair dryer.

Glows: Staff was extremely helpful in helping us find the spot after several phone calls. We arrived shortly before 10pm and they still served us. Our salads were great and when I asked them to alter mine because it had bacon it was done immediately without complaint. My seafood trio was great! There enough pieces of shrimp, salmon, and mahi to keep me satisfied. The ying yang dessert was poppin! White and milk chocolate fondue went well with the brownies, rice crispies, and cheesecake.
Grows: To be honest, everything went perfectly. I just wished the power did not go out and mess up the machines. We had to pay in a funky way.

Gerardo Maza,
Grain of Sand
(Earth Wave, 1998)
Grain of Sand is promoted as "world fusion music." A glance at the list of musicians and instruments indicates that this is an accurate category for this CD. It combines a wide range of styles to achieve the "fusion" of the sounds of the world.
The first piece in this collection, "Inspiration," has an eerie overall effect. It was not anything I could put my finger on. No portion of the composition stood out as causing this effect, but when you combine the background vocals with the lead guitar, it just seems eerie.
The second piece, "Sky Pilot," elevates your mood and settles you with its light, lively beat. The guitar work is fantastic, with a Spanish style. This combines with a percussion that is reminiscent of the Caribbean. By the end, you will have shaken off the eeriness of the opening piece and will be ready for the cymbals and drums that open "Reflections." The violin puts you back into a great mood. But the vocals are just plain weird! They fail description and seem more like wails than singing. "Amor Divino" introduces a layered chant and drums that seem straight out of the Congo.
And so this collection goes, manipulating your emotions and pulse. It is a "fusion" of all things, yet lacking any solid description. It can only be categorized as world music. It is definitely not an unpleasant listening experience, but be prepared for the rollercoaster. There is much talent displayed throughout the selections. The percussion is especially noteworthy; I loved the variety of sounds and techniques. The bass is also nice.
Gerardo Maza plays keyboards, guitars, fahringer, percussion, nal and bells, as well as vocals. He is joined in this collection by Hamid Drake (drums, djembe, tablas), Van Manakas (lead guitar, oud, violin), Mike Todd (bass), Elisa Street (vocals), Tom Q (guitars, vocals), Matthew Brown (ney), Ali Rahman (vocals, setar), Michael Harrison (vocals, tamboura) and Sheikha Fariha (vocals).
"Reflections" and "Grain of Sand" include text and poetry by Hafiz. "Setar Solo" was created and is performed by Ali Rahman. "Love Song" has vocals written and performed by Sheikha Fariha. "Time Line" has a traditional chant to Shiva and the most outstanding percussion of the entire collection. This percussion is killer!
My overall opinion of this CD is that it is skillfully composed and executed, but not anything that I would listen to on a frequent basis. I recognize the talent of the musicians and praise them for their work, but it is simply too emotionally charged for me. Each time I get pepped back up, it pulls me down again. I found "Weather Change" to be especially depressing -- much worse than any cold, dreary, foggy day. However, I must admit that I am much more emotionally sensitive to music than the average person. My mood follows what I hear and I actually "feel" music. So you might love this collection.

In the previous post, we looked at using the standard (button-click) way to create a new child record using Publisher Actions. Pretty basic stuff. Using Visualforce to create a custom action is a bit harder. Let's start with the documentation. The PDF provided by clicking on the link in the Actions screen (Account action is an example) has nothing about Visualforce. Searching in the Help & Training section yields a page Creating Visualforce Pages to Use as Custom Publisher Actions, but I can't see where that page is found in the help tree on the left side of the page. Interestingly, to find correct code (because the item above has a misprint) I had to go to Customizing Case Feed with Visualforce (PDF). Let's set up our use-case and see what we can do with a Visualforce publisher. As before, we want to create a Task from a Case. The […]

In case you're the last person in the world to hear about these things… the new Zero7 album is out. I don't think this one got quite as much hype as The Garden, which is a shame, because to my ears, Yeah Ghost is a much more interesting offering. The Garden was one of those albums I loved eventually, mostly out of brand loyalty. But I digress.
I was a little bit worried about listening to Yeah Ghost, because reviewers were saying that it was a radical departure, and that musically it was "scattered all over the place" and had no cohesion. Personally, I think it holds together just fine. More to the point, it is radically different, while still managing to be undeniably Zero7. It's difficult to accomplish "completely different" and "still the same" simultaneously. I think they did a pretty good job with both, and the reconciliation of those two apparent opposites in the context of a 45-minute record is nothing short of inspired.
I cannot say that I am absolutely in love with Yeah Ghost yet (aside from "Mr. McGee," a song which I had on repeat for about six hours yesterday). But as mentioned above, I wasn't in love with The Garden at first, either, and in any case I already like Yeah Ghost better than I ever liked The Garden, despite the fact that there's no Sia Furler this time around (my obsession with her is well-known, but she makes her own albums now, so I get my fix there). My relationship with The Garden is of the variety that when you make the commitment to love someone, you even love the worst things about them, because that comes with the package. Yeah Ghost has been a pleasant surprise by comparison.
Murakami would have told you so
If you catch him, will you let me know?
Bobbing apples in the studio
Aikido, Aikido-si-do
This put a huge smile on my face, but then when I Googled "Murakami would have told you," I discovered that the BBC reviewer singled that verse out as cringingly embarrassing proof that this album is mostly crap. Guess he's not a fan of surreal imagery. He also went on to say that he thought maybe Zero7's time had passed, but I absolutely don't buy that. This album is quite a step up from the last one (but admittedly nothing will ever touch the first two). Also, I disagree with the assessment that Yeah Ghost is stuck in the late '90s. I don't hear any evidence to support that at all. Most of the production technique on this album wasn't even possible ten years ago, and the musical style reflects that, as well. All I hear is fresh, fresh, fresh. And if there's a little Basement Jaxx nostalgia sprinkled over certain areas, I'm willing to bet it was not only intentional, it was firmly tongue-in-cheek. For me, it only adds to the charm, because Zero7 is one of those groups who has always managed to manipulate me into thinking about the good ol' days, regardless of how modern their range of styles can be.
As with any significant change, Yeah Ghost will take some getting used to. I'm okay with that, especially since the change is distinctly in the electronica direction. I think a lot of the naysayers either (A) will come around eventually, or (B) are only into the modern-Muzak aspect of Zero7, and aren't interested in innovation. You can't please all the people all the time, but I do think there's something on Yeah Ghost for just about everyone.
And hey, the new Air album is out next month, so we might still get our Muzak after all.

, Research Paper
At the end of the eighteenth century a new literature arose
in England. It was called, Romanticism, and it opposed most of
the ideas held earlier in the century. Romanticism had its roots
in a changed attitude toward mankind.The forerunners
of the Romanticists argued that men are naturally good; society
makes them bad. If the social world could be changed, all men
might be happier. Many reforms were suggested: better treatment
of people in prisons and almshouses; fewer death penalties for
minor crimes; and an increase in charitable institutions.
Romanticism was a powerful reaction against Neoclassicism in
liberation of the imagination and rediscovery of nature. English
romantic writers tended to turn their backs upon cities and
centers of culture for their inspiration, and to seek subjects
and settings for their poems in mountains and valleys, forests,
meadows and brooks. Romanticism made much of freedom and
imagination. Some ideas that came with the romantic movement are
that humble life is best, and another was that people should live
close to nature. Thus the Romantic movement was essentially
anti-progress, if progress meant industrialization. Because of
this concern for nature and the simple folk, authors began to
take an interest in old legends, folk ballads, and rustic
characters. Many writers started to give more play to their
senses and to their imagination. Their pictures of nature became
livelier and more realistic. They loved to describe rural scenes,
graveyards, majestic mountains and roaring waterfalls.
With this Romanticism grew, but it can not be accurately
defined. It was a group of ideas, a web of beliefs. No one
Romantic writer expressed all these ideas, but each believed
enough of them to set him apart from earlier writers. The
Romanticist was emotional and imaginative. He acted through
inspiration and intuition, believed in democracy, humanity, and
the possibility of achieving a better world.
Some of the first great romanticists included, William
Blake. He not only wrote books, but he also illustrated and
printed them. Many of his conservative contemporaries thought he
was insane because his ideas were so unusual. Among those
"insane" ideas was his devotion to freedom and universal love. He
was interested in children and animals.
Another significant author of the Romantic period is Samuel
Taylor Coleridge. No one had put more wonder and mystery into
beautiful melodic verse than he did. His strange,
haunting supernaturalism of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and
'Christabel' have universal and irresistible appeal. A friend of
Coleridge's for many years was William Wordsworth. Together they
wrote a volume of verse, 'Lyrical Ballads', which sounded the new
note in poetry. This book really signaled the beginning of
English Romanticism. Coleridge found beauty in the unreal,
Wordsworth found it in the realities of nature. From nature
Wordsworth learned that life may be a continuous development
toward goodness. He believed that if man heeds the lessons of
nature he will grow in character and moral worth.
But before the Romantic movement burst into full expression
there were beginners, or experimenters. Some of them are great
names in English literature, one would be, Robert Burns. He was
born on January 25,1759 in Alloway, Ayshire, in a home like he
described in his poem 'The Cotter's Saturday Night'. His father,
William Burness was a Scottish tenant farmer and his mother was
Agnes Brown Burness, Robert was the eldest of seven.
As a young boy he worked long hours on his father's farm,
which was not successful. But in spite of his poverty he was
extremely well read at the insistence of his father , who
employed a tutor for Robert and younger brother Gilbert. Watching
his father suffer, Robert began to rebel against the social
conventions of his time, and the seeds of his poetry's satire
were sown. At 15 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and
this prompted him to start writing in an attempt to find "some
kind of counterpoise for his circumstances." It was at this
tender age he penned his first verse, "My Handsome Nell", which
was an ode to the other subjects that dominated his life, namely
scotch and women.
When William Burness died in 1784, Robert and his brother
became partners in the farm. He worked hard, wrote poetry and had
several love affairs. His farm was not profitable and Burns was
restless and unhappy, he was more interested in the romantic
nature of poetry than farming. His rebellion against the
Calvinist religion of his community led the parents of Jean
Armour to forbid her marriage to Burns, even though he was
pregnant with his child. Soon after Burns turned to a new
relationship with Mary Campbell, who is featured in his poem
'Highland Mary'. Because of Burns' open support of the French
Revolution it had upset the establishment and branded him a
dangerous radical.
He had
invited Mary Campbell to immigrate with him to Jamaica, but she
died before they could leave. In 1786 Burns published 'Poems
Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect' in nearby Kilmarnock. It was an
instant success, and he soon forgot about Jamaica. The poetry in
the volume highlights the lives of Scottish peasants. 'To a
Mouse' presents the world from the point of view of a field mouse
dug up by a plow. Some of the work is satiric, such as the
dramatic monologue 'Holy Willie's Prayer', which revealed the
hypocrisy Burns saw in Calvinism.
Once his works were published, they received much critical
acclaim. This and the fact that he had children made him stay in
Scotland. After his season of fame, he reconciled with Jean
Armour and her family , married her in 1788. They leased a farm
in Ellisland, and then moved to Dumfries, where Burns was
employed as a tax inspector. While collecting taxes, Burns had
met up with James Johnston who he had met in Edinburgh. Johnston
had asked Burns for help rewriting songs for his 'Scots Musical
Museum'. Burns proved himself to be a gifted and prolific
songwriter, both in writing new lyrics and in rewriting new
lyrics for old Scottish tunes. Burns considered the work to be
in the service of his country and refused payment. Burns revealed
many of his interests in his songs. His patriotism rings in such
verses as 'Scots Wha Hae wi' Wallace Bled', though it was first
written anonymously, it was nothing less than a cry for liberty
and independence for Scotland. His romantic self is expressed in
his love songs, 'My Jean', 'A Red,Red Rose' and 'The Banks o'
Doon'. The last years of Burns' life were dedicated to his
greatest works such as 'The Lea Rig', 'Tam O'Shanter' and 'A
Red,Red Rose'. He died when he was thirty seven years old on July
21,1796 the same day Jean gave birth to his last son, Maxwell.
Robert Burns was a man before his time. His style of writing
had distinct characteristics of the Romantic Period, though he
was twenty years early. It showed emotions instead of reason,
imagination instead of logic and creativity rather than
intuition. Burns paved the way for future Romanticists, showing
them that individualism rather than conformity can be accepted.
It would be okay if their imagination longed to dwell on far-off,
exotic lands. Unlike the Neoclassicists who had been interested
exclusively in their own times and contemporary society.

Somebody just start a story. My forum is dying here.7/2/2010 #1
((I'm sorry if you don't want anyone to post yet, and you can erase this, its just I can't not post it after going through the effort to write it~))
The crowds roared in excitement as the New Domino City Tournament was finally coming to a close. There was only one match left, and it was a heavyweight Duel - With two extremely Infamous Duelists. The cheers only grew louder as the first contestant exited from the passages of the stadium.
Marcus Newman was a recent professional Duelist, known mainly for how effectively he used his deck. But also for his womanizing habits whenever he saw a beautiful female. He was always extremely arrogant, believing himself to be unstoppable. Even now, he carried himself with his head raised High and waving with a grin to the crowds of fans.
His opponent entered from the other side, yawning in a bored manner as Marcus continued to soak up the cheers. This new person had unnatural white hair down over his forehead, with two calm green eyes staring out at the masses. He simply prepared his Duel Disk silently and placed his Deck inside, allowing the shuffler to do its job. He was extremely well built, having slim muscle along his arms, wearing a simple white T-Shirt. Up his Right arm was a massive tattoo of the outline of a Black Dragon. He also wore ordinary blue jeans with a red belt. But, attached to that belt were Five Deck containers, with one recently emptied.
Marcus finally seemed to notice his opponent, and his grin faltered for only a moment as he turned to face him. Recuk Revajik was the reigning World Champion, and today, his opponent. Marcus wore a Tuxedo with the typical Black and White. Two assistants walked into the arena and each have the two opponents a ear microphone, so whatever they said could be heard by all.
Marcus grinned, "Lets hurry this up, I have a Victory party to attend!"
Recuk snorted and crossed his arms, "Since you're in such a hurry, you can go first."
Marcus LP: 8000
Recuk LP: 8000
Turn 1
"Why thank you... You've only assured my victory! I'm going to take your throne from you!" Marcus drew a card, and grinned at his hand. 'Both Honest's, Judgement Dragon, Lyla, Lumina and Shire... I think I can swarm this Ba$tard now next turn! Woohoo! Lovely ladies here I come!' Finally selecting a card, Marcus grinned. "I Summon Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress! [1700/200]" Then the man scowled for a second. "I Never liked that she doesn't show much skin..."
Once again, Recuk snorted. "You know..." The Champion began, "If you're going to insult your own card, then why bother playing it? You're only making yourself appear even more disgustingly arrogant than before. And I'm sure someone needs to teach you a little something about respect... So Please, continue your move."
Marcus just grinned, happy he had been able to even agitate his opponent. "I'm just gonna end... And my Beautiful Lyla's effect activates. Now the top three cards of my Deck get sent to the graveyard!" The Perverted Duelist almost squealed in joy as he revealed the top 3 cards to be monsters; All Different monsters. Suddenly his graveyard burst into a bright light, and Beastly looking monster appeared. "Oh, and I think I should mention that one of the Cards was Wulf, Lightsworn Beast! [2100/300] He special summons himsel-"
Marcus LP: 8000
Recuk LP: 8000
Turn 2
"I know." Recuk Interrupted, drawing a card. He looked at Marcus and his field for a good few seconds before a smile slowly spread across his features. "Now, how about I dissect your plan here?" He said, the crowd beginning to whisper amongst themselves as Marcus looked confusedly at his Opponent. "Ah... Sorry for the confusion... How About I just say it?" His smile grew another inch, and Marcus began to bite his bottom lip Nervously.
'He can't possibly know what my cards are... Its impossible' Marcus Newman thought.
"Out of a hand of Six cards, you only summonedone. You didn't set any other cards, and even a recently learning duelist knows its smart to leave cards face-down as decoys to make the opponent hesitate. Therefore your hand must be compromised of all monsters. And since this is a Lightsworn deck apparently, there is also the choice that you think I'm going to make some large opening move which you can counter with a simple Honest, no?" He smiled, then uncrossing his arms at last. "Next, since you practically jumped into the sky when two different Lightsworns were sent to the grave through Lyla's effect, I can assume you're holding a Judgement Dragon and waiting for me to send both your creatures to the grave, so next turn you can finish me and make all my effort fruitless."
To say the absolute least, Marcus was shocked his quiet opponent had deduced so much from so little. His mouth opening a little to gape was all Recuk needed to affirm he was correct in his guesses.
"I summon my Magical Exemplar [1700/1400]," A stunningly beautiful woman appeared in a long green robe, smiling kindly. "Thanks to her, I'll defeat you in a single turn."
"But... But... HOW?" Marcus burst out, staring at the card with wondering, baffled eyes. "How is a card that can't even Beat my Lyla going to beat me? In ONE turn no less!"
"I'll Show you" Recuk responded calmly, removing two cards from his hand and activating them. "I activate two copies of Foolish Burial, Allowing me to send a Magicial Exemplar and a Plaguespreader Zombie from my Deck to the graveyard." Four orbs of a blue light appeared in The Magical Exemplar's hands, her smiling and keeping them near. "Each time a Spell card is activated my Magical Exemplar gains 2 Spell Counters, so now she has four." He Gestured to the balls of light. "And now for her ability. Once per turn, I can remove any Number of Spell counters from her. Then, I can Special summon a Spellcaster-type monster from my hand or graveyard with a number of stars equal to the number of Spell counters removed. I Summon my Second Magical Exemplar from the graveyard!" A twin of the Female Spellcaster appeared, giggling a little.
"Lastly, I return a card from my hand to the top of my deck to special summon Plaguespreader Zombie from my graveyard." The single sentence answered Marcus's question.
"You Ba$tard! You're going to Synchro summon! But HA! No Level 6 Synchro can beat me in a single turn!" Marcus shouted, feeling self-assured...
...For only a second.
"A Level 6? No... I was thinking more Level 10." Recuk's grin seemed to turn demonic as his opponent paled. "I Tune My Level 2 Plaugespreader Zombie... to my Two Level 4 Magical Exemplar's... To Synchro summon...
Ally Of Justice Decisive Armor![3300/3300]" A Massive machine appeared, with a gargantuan cannon on top. It turned to face Marcus specifically. "See Marcus, as a Professional Duelist, I have faced Light-Deck's many times... But nothing is more annoying then Lightsworns. So I placed this into my Deck to completely counter any and all Light Decks... After all, that's what the Allies Of Justice are for."
"So now... I'll end it. I activate my Decisive Armor's third effect... I send my entire hand to the graveyard..." Placing his hand into the graveyard, Recuk walked across the field to Marcus, taking a look at his hand. "And then I can look at yours, and send every Light-Attribute monster in it to the graveyard. Then You take Damage equal to their combined attack points... I Hope you're good at math."
Marcus's entire hand went into the graveyard.
(3000 + 1000 +1100 + 1100 + 400 = 6600 Damage)
The massive machine drew the power from Marcus's graveyard, and the recently lost Light Monsters, and Blasted him for all their Attack.
Marcus LP: 1400
"Now, Ally Of Justice Decisive Armor Attacks your Lyla..."
(3300 - 1700 = 1600 Damage)
Marcus LP: 0
"And once again folks, our Champion has won Spectacularly!" Shouted the announcer at last, followed by a loud cheer from the Audience...
((This is on TV. So your character(s) can be/ have watched it if you wish, and no one knows of Recuk being a Dark Signer. So some OC's can even look up to him XD
However, as he is still unapproved -- This post will most likely be deleted.))8/7/2010 #2
(Nah, I'm not going to delete it. You put too much work into this.)
"And the champion wins again!" Jamie Izayoi shrieked from the couch, while his younger sister, Alyssa, looked extremely annoyed at his third outburst throughout the entire tournament.
"Jamie, will you ever keep it down? I was trying to watch this."
"Shhh! Wait! I've got to get one last glimpse of him..." Jamie whispered turning his attention back to the TV, one to see Recuk Revajik place his deck back in his compartment. Jamie then turned off the TV and slid backward on the couch to face his sister. "As you were saying...?"
A frustrated Alyssa threw her hands into the air. "Goodness Jamie, do you ever listen to me?! Just because you want to be the next Dueling- excuse me, Turbo Dueling- champion doesn't mean you should block out the rest of the little family you have left!"
Jamie nodded solemnly. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay. Now Onii-chan, would you please-" "Jamie!"
Young eleven year old Gabrielle Izayoi came pounding into the room. She stopped at her brother's feet and handed him a card. "I went to the card shop today, and found this super cool pack of Water monsters!" She smiled broadly. "Anyway, there was one card I couldn't use, so I thought you should have it."
Jamie flipped over the card in his hand. It was Dark Resonator. Jamie looked confused. "How did you find this in a Water deck?"
Gabrielle shrugged and began to walk to her room, whispering to the Duel Spirits in her deck.
Alyssa shook her head. "Gabrielle freaks me out sometimes. First of all, she's a psychic duelist, second, she talks to her cards, and third-"
"I'm going to bed." Jamie interrupted. He excused himself from the room, leaving Alyssa alone to herself, the TV, and her thoughts.8/8/2010 #3

After a short day of dueling, because the tournement, jamie sat down on his couch, he looked at his arm where that mark had been when he bumped into that man in the street, even after being pushed to his limit of dueling it still haddent come back.8/8/2010 #4
Meanwhile, in the slums of Satellite...
On the porch of a raggedy ol' house, in the underground and sitting on a last centuary rocking chair, there sat a teenage boy. Next to him was a riggedy old coffee table, perfect for setting his tea supplies. He yawned, lazily and shook his head to clear the grodginess that clouded his mind. He grabbed a cup of warm tea that was sitting on an obviously run down table made from scrap that stood next to him and took a kind sip, "Today is...going to be another eventful day." the teen sighed to himself once more and took another sip of his green tea.
He looked at a slightly cracked surface of an old clock that was visable through a hole in the wall...that was his door, "Hmmm..." he said, "If I"m correct there was suppose to be some big duel on. Let's see." he said taking up his cup of tea and walking over to a small laptop, connected to the wall by several wires, "Let's see." he siad putting the slightly cracked cup down and started to type quickly across the keyboard...
After about ten minutes of rapid typing a screen finally came up, it was staticy and slightly broken, but...it was there. And there he stood, the Champion before his challenger, the slander ending but the duel about to begin..."This is...Gonna be good!" the boy said excitedly standing back to get a better view of what was about to unfold.
He found himself clapping to himself, at the one turn overkill of the Champion, "Dang." he said starting to go back to the computer, to see if he can tinker with it to get a stronger signal, "Now that was a good duel." he nodded in appreciation and stretched, but sweat dropped as he realised he'd dropped his tea very close to the computer, "Oh darn it..." he grumbled and ran to quickly get some old towels...And so was the amazing of Dorogan's life.
(Meh I'm bored and half an hour to do nothing....So I made this rather insight post into Dorogan's life, isn't it grand?^^;)8/8/2010 . Edited 8/9/2010 #5
Recuk approached the announcer and requested politely if he could have the microphone, and the man gave it to him curiously. After removing his own microphone from his ear he scowled and tossed it onto the floor, waving to the fans for a moment. "I take it you all enjoyed the duel?" A Loud roar came from the crowds and he smiled, taking it as a 'Yes'. He slowly across the stage, putting himself into a position where everyone could see him. "Now, on a more serious note... Does anyone know why exactly Mr. Newman lost? And no, it wasn't a lack of skill or a bad hand... On the contrary, that hand would normally be enough to completely decimate an opponent of any level. Including myself...."
Recuk sighed, his beaten opponent staring at him in confusion. "You lost because you lack the thing every king of games has had since the beginning of the game itself." The crowd quieted, listening more intently. "Yugi Mutou, the original king Of Games believed in something called 'The Heart Of The Cards'. He thought by respecting, trusting, and placing his heart and soul into his deck, it would return the favor... And apparently it did. His successor was Jaden Yuki, yet another duelist whom believed with his heart and soul in is cards... And he ascended to become the next king of games." Recuk paused, letting it sink in. "You lack both apparently. You disrespected your own cards, and I cannot deny that you do know how to use them -- But I see no Soul in this Deck. You simply picked a powerful Archtype and thought you could use it to defeat me..."
"How Idiotic..." At that, the Professional Duelist looked back at the crowds for a single moment. "All of you, remember that... Your deck must have your Soul placed into it..." He handed the Microphone back to the announcer, his last few words barely a whisper. "Otherwise, you'll never defeat me..."
He slowly walked off the stage and exited the stadium...
Recuk Revajik sighed as he sat down in his Limousine, his driver taking off the moment his door closed. He stared out the tinted windows with thoughtful eyes, watching as people walked up and down the street as though nothing in the world could touch them... What Arrogant fools they were. His assistant sat beside him in the back of the Limousine, watching him with her worried eyes. Her name was Lilith kione, a young woman who acted as his organizer and planner. She respected him a great deal, but he was one hell of a confusing man.
"What is the progress on Locating the Dark Signers?" He asked abruptly, not moving his head from the window. Lilith gulped for a second and could instantly tell his duel has put him in a bad mood.
"N-no progress yet sir... We've been unable to l-l-locate unnatural p-p-p-phenomena..." She responded nervously.
He just sighed, closing his eyes on the window. "Its alright..." He Mumbled, falling asleep. "Wake me when we reach the Mansion..."8/8/2010 #6
Alyssa had exited the family room and was standing on the deck. It had a beautiful view of the full moon, the beach, and in the far off distance, the Satellite. She sighed. She wondered how the Satellites did it- living in their own filth. Alyssa had only been a resident of Satellite when she was younger and she remembered none of it. She was glad she didn't.
Alyssa gently pushed the right sleeve up on her long sleeve cardigan. She traced the red mark that reached from the back of her hand to her elbow. The dragon on her arm had always caught her attention, yet she knew not why it was there.
I wonder, she thought, if I have a greater purpose in life than just being a amateur duelist?8/8/2010 . Edited 8/8/2010 #7

The Limousine stopped abruptly and the professional duelist awoke the moment it did; sitting at at the same time his assistant had begun to lean over to shake him awake. Her chin hit his head. His hand shot up, covering where he'd been hit as he fell back from the surprise, his head bashing on the window. Lilith had already sat up surprised and afraid that she could possibly harm her employer any further as she rubbed her chin gently to help the pain go away.
"Oww..." Recuk moaned gently, his eyes shut tight as he started sitting up and rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm so sorry!" Lilith quickly responded, getting up and opening the door of the Limousine, hoping he wasn't going to fire her for something like this. She gently helped him to the door, helping him to regain his balance. "Are you alright Mr. Revajik?" She questioned quietly.
"I'm fine." He shook his head once to clear any remaining stars in his vision before smiling to his assistant, stepping out of the vehicle and offering her a hand. "Are you alright?"
She smiled, taking his hand and allowing him to help her from the limousine. Her Employer Mr. Revajik was a highly chivalrous man who always used his manners. Although sometimes he could be about as childish as a Four year old on a Sugar high. Apparently he felt like being a gentleman tonight. "I'm perfectly fine, Mr. Revajik" She nodded curtly before letting go of his hand. "But I have some work to do... So I'll come check on you in an hour, Alright?" Her employer only nodded and stared up at the sky. Lilith quickly disappeared into the Mansion.
"Its a full moon..." Recuk mumbled to himself, his green eyes watching the massive white orb in the sky, with maybe a half-dozen stars sprinkled around it glittering beautifully. He continued to stare at them in wonder for a moment before frowning and closing his eyes. "A few points of light in a sea of darkness... I wonder how it feels to be one..." He sighed, entering his mansion and turning away from the sky.8/8/2010 #9
Roughly a half an hour later, Recuk was sitting outside in an expansive garden. He has roses growing all around the edges of his property instead of a fence. He rather enjoyed nature as opposed to the city. He sighed, laying in a hammock set down between two large trees, who's branches and leaves covered the night sky from him. He may have owned a mansion with many fancy bedrooms, but this was always where he slept. It was far more peaceful...
"So, I guess its time to enact the plan at last..." He sighed, gently removing one of his five decks from their containers and removing a single card from it, and holding it up to the sky. The card was strange... It had 10 stars, and was Dark Attribute with 0 Attack and defense. And a strange picture of a massive purple glowing dragon in the artwork with matching purple markings along its body... "Roar, Amaru... Tell them it is time."
The card had a black-ish glow around it, and that glow fired up into the sky as a solid black beam of energy that hit the full moon... And made it appear to ripple with purple markings. However, only two types of people could see this... Signers and Dark Signers. It would cause all their markings to activate simultaneously... But only his fellow Dark Signer's would know his location.
"And now..." He mumbled, beginning to fall into a deep sleep. "... The end begins..."8/8/2010 #10
Dorogan had missed the first part of the lecture, as he wandered inside of another hole-doored room, that would be a kitchen, looking around for a more usable rag. At returning he listened to the rest, the speech of the heart of the cards and so forth, wiping the tea and smirking, "What a strong will that man must have. Not many of those around." Dorogan stated as he continued to clean. He put the rag, by simply putting it in a droor of other wet rags, "Whoooey, there you go grandma." he said smiling, looking a picture of an elderly woman resting over on the otherside of the computer.
"Hehe..." he said smiling, almost bitterly, "You would have smacked me in the back of the head if you'd seen me spill that tea eh? WEll, I cleaned it up for ya, nothing to worry about." The lonesome teen let out a soft sigh as he wandered into a seperate room.
Meanwhile a ways away from the more peaceful teen...
A silver haired boy, wearing a white tuxedo...Looking as if he'd just come from sort of ball, smirked as he held his shadow black Duel Disk, and stood towering above an ex-opponent, who also appeared to be an Satellite officer. "Really." he said bending over and poking the older man with the tip of his Duel Disk, "If you're going to dirty someones nice clothes." He said reffering to a small black scruff mark at the side of his top coat, "You'd better be prepared for the consequences." He stood up and walked over the knocked out figure, kicking him in the ribs as his second leg passed him. He sighed, running a hand through his silver hair, at least that's how it appeared in the moonlight that creaked through the crack in the floor above.
"Really, I just wanted a nice stroll, nothing to bother me...And some idiot cop tries to ruffle me up, leaving a dirty smuge onf my nice white clothes...Oh well, I'll just have to wear one of my spares." he said simply, getting atop of the cops rider and getting ready to take off...That was until a sudden tingle pulled at his arm, a long since born mark burning into his skin as something called for him: Roar Amaru...
"What is this?" The boy asked himself looking up into the night sky, at the moon covered in smong. He blinked as he caught sight of the strange event that occurd with the bright sphere in the sky, "Things...Are about to get interesting." He said, his eyes brightening with joy and he reved his rider, then taking off into the night, his burning sensation and call from the strange beast telling him where to head.
A half hour later back on the other side of Satellite...
Dorogon was sleeping peacefully on his slightly ripped up matress located on the floor...then Suddenly he felt a burning sensation on his arm. Still weary with sleep, he rubbed his eye, batting at his arm thinking it to be a bug bite...But the longer he th tingle remained the stronger it became, the burning becominga almost unbearable. Slowly he came to conciousness, his eyes widening in pure shock at the glowing mark that appeared on his arm, "Eh?" he said jumping out of bed and looked at a claw shaped mark upon his arm, the burning reaching a pikeing point, "What's...What's going on?!" he exclaimed holding on tightly to the arm, trying to get this twitching pain to quit, but no matter how hard he tried, still the burning would remain.8/8/2010 .

jamie was lying in bed, when suddenly his mark began to glow "what the heck? after hours of dueling, now my mark glowes? what is this thing?" he said
richard was staring at the moon, when his arm started glowing, "amarus roar shall be heard by all signers, so it is time the time for the immortals" richard got into his car and drove to where it was telling him.
sorry only post for now g2g8/9/2010 #12
Alyssa had been staring at the moon for several more hours. She was sure it was well into the early morning hours and she was about to head inside to sleep when she noticed something different about the moon. Something weird.
"Gah!" Alyssa grabbed her right arm tightly, wondering why it was burning and glowing intensely. She had never felt this before. The dragon that coiled around her lower arm was shining a bright red. What the hell is going on here? she thought.
Roar, Amaru... tell them it's time...
The voice in Alyssa's head- obviously not her own- absolutely scared her to death. The pai in her arm was growing, and she raced inside the house to Jamie's room. "Jamie! Onii-san, wake up!" she shrieked, shaking him awake.
"Eh... huh... what do you want, Alyssa..."
Alyssa held up her arm for Jamie to see. His eyes widened. He rapidly put on some shoes and started shooting directions to Alyssa. "Get Gabrielle up. We're leaving. Now."8/9/2010 . Edited 8/9/2010 #13
Kengen wasn't too far away from Satellite's exit, the one that had connceted the two cities for quite some time now. He revved the policeman's bike, having gone back only moments before to take his helmet and badge as well, no one dared to stop him as he rode quickly down the path, making quick turns and avoiding anyone or anything that came in his path, quickly passing over everyone in sight. He rode on, losing track of time, it having been not so long ago since he'd been riding his own D-Wheel(Is that it's name?).
He continued riding into the night, after what felt like hours, but could have been only minutes, he could never tell, he'd arrived in Neo Domino. He smirked, the bright lights and the busteling about deffinetly an approvement to his dark and dank sentence, "Now...Where would he with the power to summon me be?" he thought to himself, now heading directly for the Mansion of...The Champion.
(If I need to add more or make it make sense, tell me^^)8/10/2010 #14
The ride had been a long one, grueling even for the white cladded boy with the burning sensation on his arm, the purple glow helping him none what so over in remaining inconspicuous. So in turn he avoided the bright busteling streets and tried to stick to the shadows...As much as was possible in the brightly lit Neo-Domino City. But, without too much trouble and rude remarks from others and a couple of: "get outta my way" from Kengen himself, he'd finally made it to his destination, with time to spare seeing as there was some time before the sun would yet rise.
He stopped the bike in an adrupt halt, staring up at the mansion, the burning comeing to a peaking point as he realised this was the place he was meant to be. He took off the former-beloning helmet of the cops and set it on the bike, "Well, well, not too shabby...Sorta over done though." he said nodding and crossing his arms, and then looked at his coat and pushed it down, not wanting the white suit to wrinkle of course.8/11/2010 . Edited 8/11/2010 #15
Peeking out from one of the windows on the first floor, Lilith wondered who it was who just pulled up in front of the mansion. She knew Recuk was asleep in the backyard -- He Always was. Judging from the way the man was dressed he was perhaps from high Society and here to meet with Mr. Revajik?
She checked her digital watch and decided it was extremely unlikely. It was almost 1 in the morning! Who on Earth would come to meet him Now? She took a flashlight and quickly pulled on a robe. She may have been wearing her Pajamas, but it was sure to be chilly outside. So she opened the front door and shone the flashlight in the Stranger's direction.
Lilith took a second or so to think of something to say.
"Excuse me, but who are you? Mr. Revajik doesn't have any appointments or meetings set for right now that I know of..." Was all she could say.8/11/2010 #16
Kengen looked up at the woman who'd walked out of the rather empressive mansion and raised a brow. "Ah, my lady." he said giving a curious bow, "I am Mashin, Kengen Mashin at your service. My deepest apologies for intruding upon your home at such a late hour." he said to her and walked forward, moving elegently and smoothly towards the woman, "But to be honest I don't think I'm here for a direct appointment...It appears I have been summoned here of my free will and I was wondering, if you would happen to know anything about that?"8/11/2010 #17
"I'm sorry Mr. Mashin, but I wouldn't know..." Lilith frowned a little, happy this guy wasn't some sort of Psychopath who had come with the intention of breaking into the mansion or something. "Mr. Revajik, my Employer, may know... But he is currently asleep. Do you know him personally perhaps?" She asked curiously. She knew Recuk wouldn't enjoy being awoken at such an ungodly hour especially after his day... But maybe if this guy knew him he wouldn't mind as much.
"Know...Mr. Revajik?" he asked raising an eyebrow and took a second to think about it, "Why, yes...Yes I do know him, matter of fact he and I used to be together and hang out before he'd become so successful. Ah but an incident here and an Inciden there and I just haven't had time to get together with my ol' pal. It'd be a darn shame too, I had such a strong...Signal." he said improvising, "To come this way too, I have a feeling I'd need to be here you know? Well...Too bad. Guess if he's asleep nothing I can do." he said shrugging.8/11/2010 #19
"Wait here for a moment..." Lilith quickly said, closing the door behind her and quickly sprinting though the maze-like Mansion into the backyard. She carefully poked Recuk as he slept peacefully on the hammock, hoping to wake him up without too much Fuss. However, as she expected and had learned over the years... He was a heavy sleeper. She sighed, and very, very calmly grabbed the hose... And Sprayed her employer with cold water.
"AH!" He yelped basically the moment the water contacted his skin. Lilith had aimed at his face only, so his playing cards would be perfectly dry. He looked up at Lilith confused, shocked, and most definitely surprised. "What was that for? I was sleeping!!" He complained, getting up and shaking his head. His white hair was soaked and stuck to his forehead. He scowled and marched into the mansion quickly, taking a towel and beginning to dry his head.
"You have a guest." Lilith said gently, not wanting to disturb him any further. "he claims to know you... That's why I woke you up..."
Recuk's scowl vanished, replaced by a look of confusion and thought. 'I don't have any friends left alive... One of them must have arrived already'
"Lilith," He said calmly, "You may go back to your room and rest now... I'll go meet my friend."
She nodded and obeyed, leaving the room immediately.
Recuk walked up to the door, and opened it wide, his Marking along his right arm beginning to glow a Bright purple.
"Welcome" He said nonchatently. "I see you got the message."8/11/2010 #20
Kengen grasped his arm slightly, but making no other notion to the glow that came with being near this man, "Yes, I had it good and clear. Good thing too, otherwise I would have had no other reason to leave that smelly pit of a city." he said to him and looked around, "Nice place you have by the way...Now, to get straight to the point, why have you called me here?" Kengen asked him, clearly wanting answers, "And how?"8/11/2010 #21
Recuk sighed and opened the door a little more, waving a hand as an invitation for Kengen to enter the mansion. "Please, come in... I'm more than willing to answer any questions you have. But first you may need to relax... Tension never helps anyone."8/11/2010 #22
He nodded, "Hmmm...Alright..." he said after only a moments thought, "I don't see why not, it couldn't hurt. ANd you're right about tension, such a killer on everything isn't it?" he askd starting to step forward and then stopped, "By the way, do I know you from before here? I get the feelin' I've seen your face somewhere before...Can't put my finger on it though." he said the idea bugging him.8/11/2010 #23
"Everyone has seen my face before," Recuk yawned tiredly, stepping inside the mansion. "I'm a World Champion Duelist..." He said calmly before sitting down in his living room. It was rather plain for such an expansive mansion, with two black leather couches with a single glass table in-between. Recuk sat at one of the couches. "Make sure to close the door."8/11/2010 #24
"Yes...And oh that's right, you're that guy with the lectures to your opponents and respect and what not." Kengen said waving a hand in the air slightly before closing the door behind him. He walked over and sat on the couch across from Recuk, "Heh, you sure get long winded during those speeches don't ya?"8/11/2010 #25
"I suppose..." Recuk mused idly, watching Kengen carefully. "But what I speak is the truth... Now, what are your questions?"8/11/2010 #26
"How the Hell...Did you manage to make this." he said lifting up his sleeve to reveal a mark that slightly resembled the ancient beast of a Chimera, "How'd ya make it pull me here? And why?" he asked, now pulling down his sleeve.8/11/2010 #27
"I didn't." Recuk said rather plainly, looking absolutely bored. "You are a Dark Signer... By dying once a God decided to take up residence in you in a Symbiotic relationship. They give you life once more, and you help them fulfill their revenge. I am sure you have already met your Earthbound Immortal..." He yawned, closing his eyes for a second before shaking his head. "I didn't call you... My God simply called all the others. I've decided its time to enact their revenge... And unless there's a problem with it, I'm the one in charge." He yawned tiredly again, looking absolutely harmless.8/11/2010 #28
He raised and eyebrow, "The first part I sorta put together on my own...Just not that in detail but I have met my Immortal. So was it your God who's voice appeared in my head? Also...In charge, why he Hell would you be in charge?" he asked crossing his arms.8/11/2010 . Edited 8/11/2010 #29
"I'm in charge because I actually know what I'm doing," Recuk responded ever-so-calmly, almost annoyingly so. He cracked his neck once, staring at Kengen through green eyes. "I have been waiting dozens of years for the opportunity to defeat the SIgners. I have waited patiently..." He narrowed his eyes, "But you think you're better than me, apparently."8/11/2010 #30

American Spirit – Somewhere In Time Weekly Travel Photo.
Somewhere In Time is a weekly travel photo from around the world. Enjoy!
It just so happens that my sister Bridgette lives in America's Hometown – Plymouth, MA.
Home of the Plymouth Rock, the first Thanksgiving & America's oldest grocery store. Home to Squanto and the Pilgrims.
The prelude to the shores of Cape Cod, the older sister to Salem & the witches trials, the girl next door compared to Boston. The town that started it all for good and bad.
Plymouth is an easy going town that happens to maintain a mind boggling seat in the history of America. Could there be a better place to watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July?
As it turns out the answer to that question is NO.
I was spoiled in San Diego where fireworks are aplenty – every night at 9 p.m. in the summer – as a matter of fact. To top it off, San Diego has a kickin' fireworks display over the San Diego Bay every year. I didn't think the 4th could get better than San Diego. But then again, I had never spent the 4th in Plymouth.
Sure I grew up in Massachusetts and had spent the vacations of my youth bouncing around Cape Cod, but I had never experienced a Plymouth fireworks display. My sister lives in this little beach community called Manomet, and every year the residents have a big to-do for the Fourth of July.
Like American renegades, they break the Massachusetts 'no firework' law in Plymouth and they bring it hard. Here's the tip – they bring it on the THIRD of July. Yup, all night long the colors fly. And I mean ALL night. For hours on end. This isn't your neighborhood 20 minute display. This is the full on rebel yell of firework displays.
On July 3rd in Manomet beach, hundreds gather with their own firework arsenal. Bonfire's are lit, drinking goes on through the day and night and everyone has a great time.
We went to the beach for about an hour, and it was by far the best fireworks display I have ever seen in the U.S., and it's completely independent. If you want to light your own – feel free. Although you'll have to make the run to New Hampshire to buy them, all you'll need to do in Plymouth is just pick a spot on the beach and light 'em up…
So if you want to see the best Fourth of July fireworks in the U.S., your best bet is to come to Plymouth a day early and have your mind blown on the shores of America's Hometown.

Title: Call of the Sea
Author: Rebecca Hart
Publisher: Inkspell Publishing
Publication Date: June 21, 2012
Source: Publisher- Inkspell Publishing
From Goodreads:
Elysandra Winters has always yearned for a life of adventure on the rolling seas and is willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill her dream. When her Privateer father continually refuses to allow his only daughter to sail, Ellie defies him, disguises herself as a boy, and goes in search of a captain who will give her a chance to prove her worth.
Thanks to the cursed selkie blood coursing through his veins, Daniel O'Rourke needs the sea to survive. After giving up on his humanity and spending three years in seal form, he decides to give his human side another chance. Daniel goes in search of a job and a sense of normalcy, earning himself a position aboard Captain Winter's ship, The Siren's Call. However, his new captain's first assignment has nothing at all to do with sailing, and everything to do with his headstrong young daughter.
Years later, when the leader of a band of bloodthirsty pirates murders Captain Winters, Daniel and Elysandra's lives come crashing back together with the force of a hurricane. Both experts in deception, they must find a way to trust each other if they are to have any hope of hunting down the captain's killer.
Ellie Winters longs for the sea and would do almost anything to live her life on it, including running away from boarding school and starting a new life as Ellis. Call of the Sea by Rebecca Hart starts out with a sweet and gentle pace, but once Ellie and Daniel collide as adults the story gets rolling. Daniel happens to be a young selkie man with a tragic past who is in love with Ellie. Ellie is a stubborn young woman with a steadfast head on her shoulders that refuses to admit she loves Daniel. Pushed together by tragedy the reader is able to watch these two grow as individuals and as a couple while they try to avenge a loved ones death.
My thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading this book. Selkie stories have always drawn me in and this was such an amazing telling of the Irish folklore. Hart instantly had me connecting with Ellie, a girl who longs for something that she doesn't think she can have. Who doesn't relate to Ellie on that point? She is such a fierce and strong willed character and I really enjoyed reading a strong female lead.
I seriously hope that Rebecca Hart will continue on with this story because I cannot wait to read more about Ellie and Daniel!

Is Consumption of GMO Foods Safe?

Eating Genetically Modified Food Is An Unsafe Bet
Remember, when eating genetically modified food, you are gambling with your health. The ill effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) including corn, soybeans, tomatoes and, yes, even potatoes are well documented but ignored by the many people.

Elsie Mahe: Three-Year-Old's Organs To Be Donated Following Tragic Accident
A Brigham family is bearing the brunt of a tragic accident that could soon take away their beloved 3-year-old daughter. Elsie Mahe, Brigham Young University Coach Reno Mahe's daughter, is currently in hospital; doctors are burning the midnight oil to bring her back to life.
The Tragedy
Elsie Mahe, 3, was playing with a friend at the family's home last week. Oblivious to the elders of the house, the little one got tangled to a window blind cord around her neck and remained hanging for an indefinite period of time. When Sunny, Elsie's mother found her, the girl wasn't breathing.
Sunny tried performing CPR on the baby. Paramedics then arrived and took her to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Nobody knew how long Elsie had been without oxygen. An MRI carried out later revealed extensive brain damage.
The doctors had to intubate the 3-year-old and place her on a respirator. But in spite of all such measures, Elsie's condition continued to deteriorate, reported Fox News.

The Follow-Up
Given Elsie's current condition, the Mahe family seems to have lost all hope of their daughter's survival. The family had recently updated the GoFundMe page for Elsie with the news that they may contemplate organ donation. They had also met with the hospital's organ donation team to discuss the prospects, they stated in the update.
"The miraculous healing we have been praying for is not FOR Elsie, but FROM Elsie," Sunny wrote on the GoFundMe page.
"We met this morning with a representative from the hospital organ donation team and feel confident that this is the Lord's will for Elsie – to be a life saving miracle for others. It is not the miracle that we wanted, but it is the one we got. It is still a miracle."
"Elsie's condition continues to slowly slip. And yet we feel peace," the Mahe family said, as reported by St. George News.
The "Help The Mahe Family" GoFundMe account had raised $52,571 by 814 people in five days.
