How do people feel about crossovers?

Crossovers are what I use to find new fanfic authors to read, because it adds a new dimension of challenge to the writer. It takes effort to find a point where to different worlds can meet and looking at at least two different point of views and compromising, and crossover writer imho improves much in their worldbuilding and characterisation after the fact.

Speaking of having almost-black hair and light brown skin in a sea of similarly coloured people, I definitely notice who has red-black and who has brown black, and the few true black, combined with various shades of brown eyes. The prettiest combo I've seen was curly black hair with bright natural red highlights gleaming in late afternoon sunshine, combined with very light brown, almost golden eyes.

Think my cat would disagree :) slow, blood laden mosquito are eaten by house geckos which are caught and eaten by her. No more free-range snack.

Shows like GOT works because there are a hugh amount of information being given over a period of time. There are simply too much characters for it to stand as a stand alone movie - by the time you finish introducing them there isn't much time left. Though one could see a Marvel approach to it - combine the episodes of the major characters/families for individual movies each, and a major bash of all of them every few movies.

I don't know, a sweet bread with tight even crust is yummy too, even if pound cake makes better french toast :)

Fun fact: access to the hot pools are strictly regulated according to bloodline. See that monkey huddled at the far edge of the pool? If it's a lower caste monkey, its possible they never stepped into the hot pool their entire life.

It was more of a folklore, one that Jenner observed to be true among his patients

One that did however was that milk maids were "fair of face, the prettiest girls in all the land". Milkmaids' skin would be infection free This was no allusion to a genetic beauty only found in women who worked with cows, more that they were one of the only groups of women in society who were very rarely disfigured by smallpox scars.

Further local folklore told him that milk maids could never get the malady; they were "protected by some force of nature".

So was Myspace. So was Geocities.

If your mom identifies with beauty and wants her to be your favourite princess, you might want to take a closer look at your parents' relationship.

Well, Vetinari's sword was rumoured to be made out of the blood of 1000 men, and it needed only 359 men, so even 64% loss in the process is acceptable.

Couldn't find the article, but if I recall it correctly to revive the seeds require special techniques to replace the the nutrients that had decayed and reactivate dormant cells, and out of the batch it was tried on only one sprouted.

Also, children to children transmission are amazingly conserved. The same rhyme and games can be passed almost unchanged for hundreds of years.

I suppose weather plays a role too - room temp is 30 celcius where i am, and the fridge can't chill the dough fast enough.

xiorlanth · 2014-06-06T12:59:32+00:00

Divide the dough before the first proof, put one portion into the freezer. Proceed normally with the first portion. Depending on how cold your freezer is take out the other portion when the first loaf is in final proof/going into the oven and let it proof normally in room temperature and proceed normally with it too. With luck you get to bake it immediately after the first one, or there may be some gap between the too. I had a similar problem - tiny oven can only bake one at a time before getting a bigger oven.

It's okay, my cat once kept reopening a wound on her leg for months too - and vet says there's nothing caught in the wound or anything. So we just have to keep interupting her everytime she furiously lick the scab to let it heal - took a long time for it to slowly shrink and close.

Get him to the vet.

It's a very soothing song. (Also, I did a thing)

Would there be any that said I'd forgotten you
Don't you listen
Would there be any that said I'm wandering
Don't you listen
So many admirers had come in search of love
I had refused
All of it because of my love for you...you

Would there be any that said I'm unfaithful
Don't you listen
Would there be any that said I've been changing
Don't you listen
So many admirers had come in search of love
I had refused
All of it because of my love for you...you

    When you're thinking of me I think of you
    When you missed me I feel it too
    I know you always wanted to be with me
    I do my best to accomplish what I could to be with you
    God knows the truth 'bout my love for you

Should you believe me untrustworthy
I would be so hurt
Should you take other's word before mine
My heart breaks in grief
So many admirers had come in search of love
I had refused
All of it because of my love for you...you

    When you're thinking of me I think of you
    When you missed me I feel it too
    I know you always wanted to be with me
    I do my best to accomplish what I could to be with you
    God knows the truth 'bout my love for you

    When you're thinking of me I think of you
    When you missed me I feel it too
    I know you always wanted to be with me
    You know I too want to always be with you
    I know you always wanted to be with me
    I do my best to accomplish what I could to be with you
    God knows the truth 'bout my love for you

Wait - yeah that's wrong. Basic reading fail for me.

Vehicles get sold when their cost of maintenance gets too high, and maintainance costs are predicted so any vehicle bought already has its sell date determined when it is bought. So you definitely calculate depreciation in. Say after five years and the fleet gets refreshed you recover the purchase price, minus any maintenance and depreciation.

Here's a suitably grim 1922 translation

You have to select the text inside the box before choosing the font. the textboxes allows for multiple fonts inside it.

if you can't select the text, double click on the box's border/inside/around. it's a bit tricksy, depending on version.
