Things got crazy in The Wardens Series Season One, as wardens Erin and Zach took their supernatural hunting journey down to Kentucky, USA, where a soucouyant nest was making life a little bloody for the locals. After some downright dirty moves on both sides and an even messier clean-up, a mysterious man appeared sending them on their next mission to Toronto, Canada. It was there that Erin realised that her destiny had a lot more than the lycans and werewolves they were hunting, in the cards. She and Zach discovered an evolved werewolf, the first male to survive the change and that wasn’t all. Behind all this was a rogue lycan clan, unhappy with the rule of their leaders and with a dangerous weapon in tow – the third vodun priestess. There were seven of these dark magical badasses, who had just started Rising around the world. A few of the women were already aligned, while others remained lost in the wind. Not long after their run–in with the werewolves, Erin found out that she’s the fifth vodun priestess, which should have been a good thing, but the lies that went into covering it up, made her wary of trusting anyone. The strain put on her and Zach’s friendship made Erin put thousands of miles between them, though in the end it wasn’t an eat, pray, love vacation. Erin’s “sabbatical” to Hong Kong, China revealed the vampire Jacob, long-time lover in Erin’s past lives, and S.I.N (Succubi and Incubi Nation), sexy creatures with nothing to lose and every drop of human essence to gain. Meanwhile, Zach tried to get things back on track at their employer Praesidium’s headquarters in Middlesbrough, England, and succeeded only when he and Erin were paired up to find their deputy director’s missing dhampir daughter. In Capri, Italy, the wardens discovered the dhampir teen wasn’t really missing, but was staying with her father Nikolai, member of the Vampire High Council (VHC). Things heated up as Zach was almost killed by the bratty teen and Erin learned that not only had Nikolai hated her guts through the ages, but he couldn’t wait to be the one that eventually killed her. Amidst the travel, fighting and hunting down rogue supernaturals, Erin learnt lots more about her kind’s background, including the fact that in order for her to live on, she’d have to kill all the other priestesses. It was a piece of information that she wasn’t quite sure what to do with, until fate stepped in and made the decision for her. All roads led to the Gathering in Albania, the collective under Praesidium’s facilitation that included members from the VHC, S.I.N, lycan clans, shifters and demons. Everything was going well until the lycan clan that betrayed the others brought their priestess Bellona to the celebration. Tensions rose and feeling there was no other way out, Erin released a power even she had no clue was deep within her. After a hell of a fight, she managed to defeat Bellona and killed a host of other innocent bystanders in the process. The result? Not only did everyone want her head on a platter, but Praesidium thought it best to have her remanded to lockup. To date, Zach hasn’t seen her for months and Erin’s been slowly rotting away inside. Now, the continuation … Chapter 1 “This way!” Zach shouted, his arms pumping hard and legs hitting the concrete with loud thuds as he ran down a rogue demon. Next to him was Bruce, another warden and a man that was as fond of knives as Zach was of guns. Damian their handler tried to pass him off as a temporary replacement until Zach could be paired with a new partner, but he knew better. Bruce was there to watch him. Admin wanted to make sure that Zach was doing the job instead of focusing on ways to get Erin out of lockup, as he had been for the first month of the five she’d been sent away. Their chase took them around a sharp corner and Zach was glad for the sturdy combat boots he wore, as otherwise he would have skidded easily on the slick, wet road. “There,” Bruce said, pointing, and they both slowed, seeing the demon backing against a redbrick wall. His skin carried a charred texture and bright red lips spread around his wide grin, full of broken, yellowing teeth. His mouth spread further across his face as he snarled at the wardens, pushing himself even further against the wall. Zach drew his gun, aiming it at their target. “Don’t do anything stupid mate,” he said, inching closer. “Yea, we’d like to send you back to Athulla in one piece,” Bruce added, his baritone bouncing off the walls in the narrow space. “You’ll kill me anyway,” the demon shot back, his raspy tone emanating more like a hiss than speech. “Not our job,” Zach replied, “And even if we could, the new treaty says we have to send your ass back home.” The demon laughed, still pressing his body defensively against the wall. “I don’t believe a word of your treaties. Praesidium lies, your Gathering proved that,” he spat the words, eyeing them even more cagily than before. “Come on man, let’s just do this the easy—” “Shite, he’s gonna . .” Bruce began, cutting Zach off, but he too was silenced as they watched the demon perform his next trick. The creature pushed his dark palms against the bricks, easing himself into it in vibrating movements. To the untrained eye it would appear to be rather slow going, but with their customised contacts, newly revamped with the increased number of rogue demons, the wardens could see what was actually happening. The demon was becoming one with the wall. Melting into it and merging with the structure, an ability that would allow him to eventually pass through the bricks to the other side. Zach rushed at him, knowing he had to act fast or lose their target. He fired at the demon, missing as the creature shivered and slid across the wall, avoiding his bullets easier than Zach liked. “Hold up there Zach, no use wasting good bullets.” Bruce sauntered up beside him, a look of pure smugness plastered across his face. Zach cringed, there was something about the guy that just rubbed him the wrong way. It’s cause he’s not Erin, an annoying voice in his head opined. “Can’t wait around for him to disappear mate,” Zach said, keeping his tone even. “Forgetting these?” Zach chanced a quick glance over at Bruce, whose open palm held six metal balls. Their smooth surface made them look like medium-sized grey marbles, but Zach knew they were much more. He turned to the demon, “Last chance mate, come out of there and let’s get you back home, no questions asked.” The demon, now all but one with the redbrick, peered out at them curiously, his eyes on Bruce’s new playthings. Finally he answered, “I’ll take my chances, Praesidium can no longer be trusted,” he called out, his voice unpleasant on Zach’s ears. Zach shook his head and turned to Bruce, “Can’t say we didn’t try.” Bruce’s face was creased with malice, “Wasted enough time as it is,” he threw the metal balls and took off at a run back the way they’d come, causing Zach to shout out. He turned his body, shielding himself from the first wave of destruction the nano-bombs caused, as sharp, magically spelled prongs exploded from them the moment they were released. Zach took off now, trying to get as far away from the pending explosion as he could, cursing Bruce – who was already some distance away - under his breath. “Why the hell didn’t you warn me?” Zach asked, eyes flashing angrily. Bruce pulled a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and knocked the box against the heel of his palm, before removing one of the cylinders. “Couldn’t tip him off now could I?” He lit his cigarette, taking a deep drag. Zach shook his head, disgusted. “Don’t you ever put me in danger like that again,” he said, but Bruce only scoffed.

  • My Derby by Richard Killoran
    My Derby by Richard Killoran Mongol Derby 2012 Monday 6th Checking in at Heathrow's Terminal 5, just after about 9am. The queue is full of Russian athletes heading home after their Olympics. 4 years of their hard work put to the test in the matter of minutes or for some, seconds. We have our own goal which we are about to embark on, it wasn’t 4 years of preparing for it though I doubt even 4 weeks! The idea was hatched in the cold wintery months, when I got a notion (I get a lot!). After watching a friend of mine, Guy Disney whose leg was blown off in Afghanistan, was going to the North Pole with fellow injured soldiers. Walking With The Wounded aired on BBC and inspired me. Why don’t I do something challenging, I asked myself? I knew Richard Dunwoody had gone to the South Pole and he had done some pretty wacky stuff, so I googled him. Racing, South Pole, 1000 mile consecutive walk in Newmarket, Strictly Come Dancing, Mongol Derby... It caught my attention, so after googling and YouTube’s of the Mongol Derby I was sold. So I rang Richard, asked him a few questions, I think the last question I asked him was “Do you think I’m mad?” To which he replied “No, not at all!” But then again I was asking probably the maddest person I’ve ever spoken to! Right, I was in but there was no way I was going on my own. After a long scan through my contacts in my phone I choose one.

    Contents Features TRIS IMBODEN A drummer who can burn on gigs as diverse as Kenny Loggins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Al Jarreau, and Cecilia & The Wild Clams is obviously prepared for the most demanding situations. With the release of Chicago's contemporary big band album—as well as a CD of all-new material—it seems Tris Imboden has found the perfect challenge. Robyn Flans 34 PETE THOMAS Pete Thomas's best-known gig may be Elvis Costello, but lately he's proven perfectly suited to projects by Richard Thompson, Matthew Sweet, Los Lobos, and John Paul Jones/Diamanda Galas. A recent Costello engagement in NYC proved just the right time to catch up with this drumset chameleon. Adam Budofsky 56 THE DRUMMERS OF BRAZIL The city of Recife was recently the site of the very first Oficina de Percussao, a week-long celebration of Brazilian drumming. With this unique event as a backdrop, Brazil's top drumset artists gather 'round the table and describe what it is to ply the trade in the deepest percussive culture of all. Chuck Silverman 78 A VISIT TO THE PAS MUSEUM Even the most forward-looking drummer will admit that there's great wisdom in the past.

For as long as I can remember I have been Journaling and keeping a record of thoughts and feelings about the world around me. I have lived in some of the most beautiful places in England and that has enhanced my gratitude for all things in nature. I am in love with more of life every day. Celebrate it all with me. Peace and joy. From Fay. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 1 11/11 Chasing The Dream. Beware embracing with fervent desire a romantic involvement. It can enmesh worse than netting of steel, and curse flesh with fire. Emotion consumes, dictates every movement, lays bare vulnerability and exposes raw hearts. Life on knife-edge of sheer captivation, when started, can really excite. It enlightens each thought, yet passion betokens control, it demands more stimultation that often bewilders the soul. Chasing the dream requires taking a hold of the skirt of reality and flirting with something akin to voluntary insanity. It can rattle sensations like a canine shaking a bone. Vincibility bespeaks depth of personal need, it uncovers exposure to seeds of proneness. Love grips so tight it cleaves to the core, yet emotion augments as it elevates too. So, does this vigorous vivaciousness, this tempest of pure implication appeal dear to you? Fay Slimm www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 12/11 Sharing Earth-Space.

  • IRS Vs. Menaechmi.Pdf
    Internal Revenue Service vs. Menaechmi Will Owen comedy * Introductory Information Internal Revenue Service vs. Menaechmi is a comedy. It reprises what is for sure the oldest living playplot out there -- that of Plautus' Menaechmi and Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. As in The Comedy of Errors, this re-use of that old plotstory also hinges on the confusion generated by two sets of identical twins. Concept: On the one hand, this is a straightforward, full-length play -- the script for the playing of straight-on theater-show that is very full-length, focused on sustained, bravura acting -- and funny. On the other hand, this script is also an experiment in a hybrid form: fusing television mini-series and performance video- documentary. That is, this script can be divided and tailored for presentation as a handful of episodes for serial viewing, produced as theater before a live audience but for video documentation aimed at synching with the ever-growing way (particularly true in the world of opera and ballet) that more and more people are experiencing, albeit at no-longer-live second-hand, theaterworks through screen devices. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the technology that is most transforming nearly all the traditional performance arts is that of those ever more high-performance pixelscreens, their equally high- performance sound systems, and the global, digital distribution capability of the many different kinds of streaming platforms. Indeed, recent decades have seen the development of new sub-genre of filmmaking, that of videoworks aimed at ever- more-effectively recording stage performances for presentation on digitally-driven screens of one kind or another -- from the tennis- court size HD-projection screens of large movie theaters to the playing-card size lightboxes that our tele...phones are now.
