Prologue:
The silent cold night fell upon the icy path which mingled through the forest of Glamber. A sage waited with an small scouting party. The creatures of the dark waited for a few moment before the guardians would come. The foul air’s smell felt lightened as the dwarf first came into view, the human and elves behind them.
All of them alert and protecting the high elf. A arrow would pierce the skull of any soldier, but the high elf was so much stronger, than your ordinary warrior. One mistake and the attempt would leave the sage and his men dead. He focused his magic onto one arrow and muttered, “Fire it in the skull of the high elf.”
The arrow flew through the air and made it mark upon the high elf’s head. Instantly the magic of the sage took effect. The elf grabbed the horses gray hair he fell to the left side of his horse and began to draw his last breaths. All of the guardian looked at his chest raising for the last time. The high elf was no more than a mere memory for he had passed on.
The guardians scrambled to readjust themselves to the current threat did they not release that the sage and force could easily destroy them like a hot knife passing through butter. The sage was hungry and thirsty and desired the blood of the guard to quench his thirst. His teeth shone in the darkness though his dark body did not even show in the darkness. He divide out sword first into the guard slicing the remaining elves heads right off. His scouting party followed and attacked the weak dwarves and humans.

Chapter 1:

Rain pounded on the little gray hut on the outskirts of the village. Ace the vampire awakened the sound of the drizzle had been awaking him from sleep every fifteen minutes until he decided he had slept enough. He got up and off his dark bed and walked to the single window in his house, he opened the wooden shutters that blocked the wind and rain from coming in. Ace stared outside to the forest his world had utterly changed in the last year from living in the palace of Ramondoom to a small hut where he barely made enough to buy meat for himself. Ace was royalty but when his father had died everything had changed his brother had taken the throne and Ace was thrown out. Ace still remembered it clearly Ace was staring at his fathers broken and ice cold dead body when his brother Spade had decided that he was going to be his fathers successor Ace had supported him and even stepped aside to let his brother take the throne Ace knew he wasn’t ready to be king. Ace moved towards the center of the village thinking what had he done wrong he had let his brother become the king and as a result he was living in the gutters and working at a blacksmith so that he could eat the one meal he ate every week. It was not even the meat he ate at home which was human but an animals meat.
His ears sensed the change before it had happened immortal army was coming, as quick as lightening Ace tossed his head from left to right searching for the warriors. It was obvious that the army was searching for him. His brother had tried to kill him because of his fear that Ace would someday reclaim the throne which his brother held so proudly. Ace had worked hard and saved aliyak but each month the army would come and force him to move to a different area and struggle there to survive. Ace flew by a old vamp as he rushed inside of his one room hut. He grabbed his sword and bow and the aliyak that he had saved, he had been planning to move ever since he had arrived here on a cold and gloomy night. Ace thought as he ran towards the forest of dealth. He could feel the ground shake as the army moved his way. Ace knew that Spade thought that the world revolved around him. Ace had came accustomed to Kielsian the old vampire who had said “when you move take me with you, you’re like the son I never had” even though he was not Ace’s father he was still close to Ace like a father at times even more so. Ace knew Kielsian would die for him if he needed it. They had been planning to move since the beginning now he would run to Kielsian house which was deep in the dark green forest ahead of him. He threw his body against the gate which shattered on contact Ace fell to the ground. “Kielsian” Ace yelled his face flooding with fear of the advancing army.
“what’s going on?, what’s wrong Ace?, why did you break the door?” Kielsian questioned not realizing the up coming danger. His oval smiling face changed to grimace of sadness at he heard the distant rumble of the army. “I’ll get my stuff” Kielsian continued looking heart broken.
“You can stay hear if you want but I gotta go, so if your not ready to move I understand” Ace said looking equally as sad.
“No, I’m….coming with you, I want you to be safe, I just wasn’t expecting this now” Kielsian said with a cold face. Kielsian rushed to his sword preparing to run but in case of a battle, he was prepared to fight till the end.
“Lets run through the forest.” said Kielsian, his face was

Michael Marchese asked:


House gutters prevent rainwater and roof water from trickling into a resident’s dwelling or basement. Without it, the acidic rainwater may cause structural damage to both the foundation of a home and the building itself. It is important for homeowners to get gutter guards to prevent twigs, leaves and other rubble from pouring into it and clogging it. When it fills up with debris, the rainwater may spill over from the top thus causing damage to the walls and foundation of the home. They need maintenance and purchasing a gutter topper greatly assists in this. Ignoring regular maintenance is quite risky because insects may build their homes in it and then start crawling into one’s home. An owner can purchase the product from online stores that sell home outdoor appliances or from superstores that sell gardening appliances.

A person can also purchase one from the internet by visiting an online store and placing an order. There are two things that a homeowner should be in possession of when purchasing gutter toppers online - a valid credit card and a valid bank account. These two facilitate the transaction, thus enabling a person to make their purchase quickly and safely. Products come in different forms such as metallic, polymer and plastic. Many people use plastic because they can withstand different weather conditions and they are long lasting. They are also cheaper than other materials in both price and maintenance costs. Most stores that sell roofing supplies also sell downspouts, gutters and other related products. This enables a person to purchase them at the same time and even for a discount.

The metallic gutter toppers have different materials such as aluminum, copper and iron. A person should purchase one that matches their home color in order to make it visually appealing. Some people buy ones that are similar in style to the existing system, thus acquiring a complete and matching set. Copper toppers are ideal for use because they are long lasting and require less maintenance costs. Amongst the various types of metallic materials available, copper are the most common due to their numerous benefits. They can withstand every weather condition and they do not rot or rust- this does not imply that no maintenance is required. It is important to maintain it by purchasing and applying sealants, which assist in maintaining their glossy look as well as preventing them from damages caused by acidic rain.

When buying these products, one should consider a number of factors such as its circumference, the design and the costs. It is important for a person to enquire from professionals the type of product that is best suited for their roof. The system works by channeling water to flow through the gutters and at the same time keeping out the leaves and other forms of debris. Selecting a big one may be inconvenient because it might not be able to sieve out the debris. When cleaning, one should also clean the gutter topper because it may have collected leaves over time.

A new roof is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home. Some of the roof care tips are listed here to guide you. Roof care is very important to upkeep. Any time you have a problem with your roof, we know that it can be an inconvenience to you.

It is important to remember that traffic on your roof should be kept to a minimum as shingles are brittle, especially in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Instead of walking the roof, use a pair of binoculars to get a closer view of the roof surface.

The first thing that you need to do to make your roof last longer is to clean it periodically. Always remember that the dirt and dust that often accumulates on your copper roofing will accelerate the deterioration of your roof. By removing dirt and dust from your roof, you can prolong the life of your roof. According to experts, you can extend the lifespan of your copper roofing to as much as 30% to 40% if you periodically clean it.

Here are some general tips to make sure your roof is in good shape and warning signs to know when it is time to replace them:

Inspect your roof in the late fall and early spring (you may need binoculars). Look for loose shingles, or shakes, or, if you have tiles, look for missing or cracked pieces. On shingle roofs, look for curling, fraying and tears at the edges. Don’t forget to check the flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other roof penetrations. They should be tight and in good condition. Also check the condition of the fascia boards near the joints of all eaves metal for signs of leakage or rot. If you see any of these signs of wear, call a professional contractor for a more thorough inspection. Keep gutters and downspouts clean and free of leaves, sticks and other debris. Keep trees trimmed away from building. Stay off the roof! Walking on its surface can do a great deal of damage. And, you could falll! If you must see the roof for yourself, use a firmly braced ladder equipped with rubber safety feet and wear rubber-soled shoes. Stay on the ladder as much as possible. In addition to looking bad, algae, moss and mildew can trap moisture and shorten the life of your roof. Soaking the affected area with a diluted chlorine bleach solution, then pressure washing can be effective in removing these damaging growths. To prevent shingle damage it is recommend using a pressure washing contractor that specializes in this type of removal. Clear off all debris (leaves, branches, etc.) from your roof. After heavy storms, check the attic for water stains and weak shingles. To avoid clogged drains, clean out your gutters and install gutter guards. Make sure that all gutter joints are properly sealed. If you have asphalt shingles, they should be replaced when the mineral granules along the top surface disappear. When you start to see black felt, call your local professional and get the shingles replaced. Check for holes in your gutters. If you install an antenna on your roof, make sure to seal any holes you may have made.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

Know your Guarantee! Familiarize yourself with what is and is not covered under both your Workmanship Guarantee and your Product Manufacturers Warranty. Never paint shingles. This will most certainly decrease the life of your roof. If your roofing material is starting to look worse than desired, it may be time to get a new roof. Never allow unqualified personnel to perform repairs to your roof system. This also includes the installation of any antennas or other roof equipment. Keep roof traffic to a minimum. Only walk on your roof if absolutely necessary. This is especially important if temperatures are below freezing. Have professional inspections. If you roof is more than 10 – 15 years old, call us or another professional contractor to inspect and provide maintenance (caulking etc.) to your roof every two to three years. For a minimal cost, you can catch leaks before they happen. Also, if you call us just before your five year guarantee is up – we would be happy to stop by and look things over for free. Downspouts: Down spouts should not be discharged onto the roof surface. To prevent premature wear, downspouts should be extended to the eaves-troughs of the lower roof.

Prevent minor problems from becoming major repairs by inspecting your roof in the late fall and early spring. Using binoculars will give you a good view of the roof while keeping traffic on the roof to a minimum. Look for loose shingles or shakes, or, if you have a tile or slate roof, cracked or missing tile. On shingle roofs, look for curling, fraying and tears at the edges.

Ron asked:


“Termites are the pest that people get the most emotional about,” said Chris Arne, PhD and Chief Entomologist at Ehrlich Pest Control.  “When people hear they have termites, they’re understandably concerned.  Termites threaten the structural integrity of their biggest investment – their home.”

Termite control and detection is made a bit trickier because of this pest’s secretive nature.  “Termites damage homes from the inside out,” said Arne.  “Typically, they live in wall voids, hollow doors and behind wood molding.  Termite damage can occur for years without homeowners knowing they have a termite problem.”

While there are no guarantees (termites will do what termites will do), the termite control specialists at Ehrlich say there are simple things homeowners can and should do to keep termites at bay.  Termites need wood and moisture, so:

• Guard against water collecting near your home.  Check downspouts, gutters and hoses.  Leaks should be repaired.

•Minimize areas where wood is placed directly in the soil (deck posts, porches, etc.).

•Keep firewood away from the house and remove all dead tree stumps.

•Paint or seal all exterior wooden materials on your home, including shutters, siding and doors.

•Consider an annual inspection to catch problems early.

•Keep wood landscaping mulch away from your foundation.

•If you’re building a home, the soil underneath can be treated to form a protective barrier against termites.

If you live in a high risk termite area, you may want to consider termite monitoring and baiting for added, ongoing termite protection and to get rid of termites.  With a termite baiting system, small unobtrusive stations are placed in the soil around the outside perimeter of your home.  (See our "Termite Monitoring & Baiting" page for more specific information on termite baiting.)  Termites feed on  the bait and bring it back to their colonies.

These stations are regularly checked for termite activity.  “Termite baiting has become a very useful tool in our termite control program,” says Ehrlich Pest Control’s Arne.  “It gives people peace of mind that the stations are being monitored and checked.  They get an instant termite activity report.”

Ehrlich Pest Control provides residential and commercial pest control and termite control throughout Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia and Connecticut.

hp…the wetter the better asked:


give me a taste
I want the awful bile
burning my crusty gullet
let me smell the stench
face the fecal realities

show me all Hell’s horror
gutter views as lives pass
bloated penthouse atrocities

shred the ancient wallpaper
no more fingers in dikes
splay and display the Trojan horses

let me see it as it is
all guards dropped now
I’m willing to wallow
ready to pay that damned piper

and when through,
I have but one request

a single rose, please
