Ever wonder what happens when you fall behind the veil in the ministry of magic?
That Arch that exudes memories that have been long forgotten.
The arch holds secrets many have forgotten and to fall through it brings it all back. Like you’re alive, but you’re living in memories.

Years ago, humans were faced with a dire problem. Stray and homeless dogs were running the cities. Shelters were overflowing. And no one was adopting. What could they do? Some voted for a mass euthanasia . But many people felt that it was animal cruelty. Riots broke out, people were shot, and nothing was done about the dogs. Finally, one day, the country leaders got together and decided they would take the dogs in boats, in sealed crates, and drop them into the ocean off the coast of an abandoned island: Destiny Island.
Many drowned. Some were spared by the merciful tides. When they arrived ashore, they banded together. For two years they remained in one huge pack, breeding, hunting and living in relative peace. However, instincts soon kicked in, blood began to turn sour, and as it grew, the pack turned against one another. Many bloody battles were had, many were injured, many were killed and many more just disappeared. Finally, after so much blood was spilled, the surviving dogs called a truce and split into four separate packs, each living by their own values, guided by the same general ideas the Great Pack once had...

ALAYSE RESULTS:
SAMPLE ONE: Our homemade soap scored the lowest in all of the tests. In the qualative tests sample one's softeness was considered on average the worst of the bunch and had the least pleasant texture to touch, generally it was lumpy and this was probably due to a lack of commercial processing and blending as all of the marketable bands scored higher in this qualative tests. Especially for softness and texture.
For the Drying effect the homemade soap was second only to advertised "High Antibacterial" soap. This could have been counteracted by adding moisturiser to the mixture, however the soap would have been harsh on the skin due to a more basic PH and the lack of replenishing materials in the soap to counteract the stripping of the oil from the skin in it's cleaning action.

ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP: Is generally seen by the population as a good thing, to create an antibacterial soap generally an alcohol is added to kill bacteria on the hands, however natural elements such as tea-tree oil can be used to give a less harsh antibacterial qaulity.

Qualitive elements that extennuate good SOFTNESS: Softness really depends on the use of the elements in the soap, for example the use of palm oil and potassium hydroxide in conjunction with eacother would produce a soap that is softer than if Sodium Hydroxide was used.
LEAVING HANDS MOISTURIZED: many soaps now include moisturizers to keep hands moisturized after the cleaning process which not only removes dirt from hands but also removes the natural oil from skin leaving skin feeling dry. It is a highly aimiable quality for a soap to not leave hands feeling dry.
EASE OF REMOVAL: over adding of fats can lead to a soap that is hard to remove from the hands. this is called superfatting and leads to the use of all of the alkali so there are no alkali metals to continue to counteract the polar molecules. If a soap is easy to get off it means the soap is well made.

POTASSIUM IS USED BECAUSE IT HAS GREATER SOLUBILITY.
The product of fats and lye being mixed are glycerin and soap. The water i nvolved in the process is just an agent for the lye to seperate the fats. A DIAGRAM OF SAPONIFICATION CAN BE SEEN IN DIAGRAM TWO:
ph:
The CO2 in the atmosphere gradually makes exposed damp surfaces mildly acidic: pH ~ 5-6. We're very well accustomed to that pH.
Alkaline stronger than pH 8, such as pH 10, is very irritating to the skin. Harsh soaps which bother us tend to do it that way.
Of course strong acids will hurt your skin too. But that's for pH's of 3 or lower. An acid needs to be pretty strong to bother skin.
BLEED, EVERYONE'S DOING IT -- Marauder Era « Result #7 on Oct 26, 2009, 9:44am »
BLEED, EVERYONE'S DOING IT HELLO, IS THIS THING ON? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? I NEED ROUGHLY A MILLION PEOPLE TO HELP, ASSEMBLE A BRILLIANT REBEL ARMY. TAKE ALL DIVISION FROM RELIGION, AND JUST THROW IT OUT. - WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE YOU'RE WELCOME HERE, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. BLEED,---- EVERYBODY BLEEDS, SAME AS YOU AND ME.
"Everyone's doing it." There's no better call to arms. It makes you think of Lord Kitchener and Uncle Sam. Your country needs you, gentlemen. All the others have risen to the challenge. Watch yourself or you'll get left behind. They're marching in sequence – not a trot, boys, a proper heroic procession – right to the edge of the cliff. And one drops, and another drops, and they all drop down eventually. But they're not alone, at least. They're doing what everyone's doing, and they're doing it with pride. They can't see ahead; someone's face is blocking the view, someone's neck is reaching ahead. Everywhere you look, arms are waving in sequence, perfect sequence. You think, this is it. The power of the masses starts to weave its way into your head until everything's made of wicker and barbed wire. Lines joining to make something; fabricated thorns stopped skin from jumping over walls. And this is this, and that is that, and you'll live with it. They all do. What makes you special? Nothing but your refusal to march. Come on. Supplies are running out. It's now or never – if you don't get your move on, the war might be over. Every generation has its 'where were you?' moment, and this is yours, and we're telling you exactly where you'll want to have been. Right here, doing this, fighting them. 'Them' changes across the border lines, but the basic meaning is people who think differently. So now you know. Is that enough? Everyone else has gone off to kill them at dawn based on that simple fact. Join your bloody hands with other bloody hands, and the colours will melt into a collective red, and then it'll all make sense. Do it now. Who you are, that doesn't matter. You can be a pureblood fighting for your race, with your wife at home scrubbing the stains off your clothes and wondering when you'll be back, and you can think, this is right. You can be a muggleborn defending your life, and you can also think, this is right. You're both right, but only because 'right' is impossible to measure. And you're not the only confused ones. With broken glass at their feet, muggle scientists dragged a wizard out his front window, sedated him and tried to measure the carbon in his body. In the name of knowledge, they said, which is the same as being right, really. How can you doubt them and their immaculate coats? And their squeaky clean science has produced some distinct fuck-ups. See, wizards don't react well to radiation, and now people's physical ages have fluctuated insanely. Fascinating, the muggles say, mostly because it's not happening to them. They mutter among themselves about what this could achieve. A revolution in the anti-aging industry, maybe, or a way to live forever. And then they grind their teeth, because they're under strict orders not to tell anyone about the most important discovery of their lives. What the Ministry hasn't let them in on is that the Dark Lord's looking for them. In fact, everyone is, in between slitting each other's throats. This isn't a time to think long and carefully, so a brief answer, if you please: will you or won't you? And you will, because let's face it: you're no different from everyone else, and EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT. BLEEDING, THAT IS.

they say anything can happen in las vegas, neveda. whether it's your dreams coming true, or your hope shattering into a million pieces. this city is a place of hope. well, to anybody visiting it is. but to the people that actually live there, it's a place of complete and total hell. and we mean it literally. this place is crawling with deciet, lies and sex. where nobody is safe and everybody has secrets. it's a place where the seven deadly sins aren't a simple myth but a reality.
lust, pride, envy, gluttony, wrath, greed and sloth are the groups these people have divided into. and they plan to keep it that way. while some are waiting to break free from these stereotypes that they grew up with; some are just wanting to simply leave vegas. but you can't live vegas. it's where your secrets are kept; your fame is. once you enter the game, you can't exit. so welcome your just in time for the sharpest lives.

THE YEAR IS 2028, AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF HATED CHAOS, IT IS STILL NONE FOR THE BETTER. AND RUMOURS ARE THAT THERE ARE PLANS FOR IT ONLY TO GET MUCH WORSE. IN 1998, ALL HOPE WAS LO ST AS A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD WHO WAS DESTINED TO SAVE THE ENTI RE WIZARDING WORLD, LOST. YES, HARRY POTTER, “THE BOY WHO L IVED”, “THE CHOSEN ONE” LOST IN THE FIGHT AGAINST LORD VOLDEMO RT. HIS LIFE, HOWEVER, WAS MERCIFULLY SPARED ONLY TO HUMILIA TE HIM IN THE WORSE OF WAYS. WITHIN DAYS OF THE GREAT LOSS, M ORE DEATHS WERE COMMITTED ONLY TO PROVE A POINT, THAT LORD V OLDEMORT WAS NOW IN CHARGE OF THE WIZARDING WORLD. FUCK.
LUCIUS MALFOY BECAME MINISTER OF MAGIC, ONLY TO DO THE BIDDIN G OF LORD VOLDEMORT, BUT NONE THE LESS, LUCIUS MALFOY IS MINIS TER. SOON AFTER, THE MINISTRY IS REPLACED WITH NOTHING BUT DE ATH EATERS, AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. THIS, THEY DECIDED, WILL BE THEIR GREATEST VICTORY. IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR A MUDBLOOD RE GISTRATION, THE TERM MUGGLEBORN HAD BEEN OUTLAWED, BEING RE PLACED THE WHAT THE NEW MINISTRY FELT THE REAL TERMINALOGY S HOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. AS SOON AS MUGGLEBORNS WERE REGISTERED THEY WERE ASSIGNED A PUREBLOOD FAMILY TO SE RVE UNTIL THEIR LIFE WAS OVER. YES, MUGGLEBORNS MUDBLOODS HAD NOW BECOME SLAVES TO THE VERY ONES THEY HAD FOUGHT AGA INST. SHIT. BUT MUDBLOODS WEREN’T THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE FO RCED INTO SLAVERY. THESE WITCHES AND WIZARDS ALSO INCLUDED A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF PUREBLOOD FAMILIES, ONCE CLAIMED DISTIN CT FOR THE MAGIC IN THEIR BLOOD, THESE FAMILIES, KNOWN DISTINCT IVELY AS “BLOOD TRAITORS”, WERE CLASSIFIED INTO THE SAME GROUP AS THE MUDBLOODS, WHETHER IT HAD BEEN ONE FAMILY MEMBER SUP PORTING THE LOST CAUSE, OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY. EITHER WAY, THESE PUREBLOODS WERE SHIT OUT OF LUCK.
IT’S BEEN TWENTY NINE YEARS FROM THEN, AND NOTHING HAS GOTTE N ANY BETTER. FAMILIES HAVE GROWN, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECT RUM. CHILDREN WERE BOUGHT AND SOLD IN ORDER TO KEEP PUREBL OOD CHILDREN HAPPY AND ENTERTAINED. IT’S BEEN TWENTY NINE YE ARS TOO LONG. THIS NEXT GENERATION HAS HEARD STORIES OF HOW THEIR PARENTS FOUGHT, HOW THEIR GRANDPARENTS FOUGHT, SO WH Y CAN’T THEY DO THE SAME? WHY SHOULDN'T THEY DO THE SAME? A N UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE GROUP HAS BEEN FORMED, THEY'RE PRE PARING FOR WAR. THEY’RE PREPARING TO WIN.

It's the Marauder's sixth year, in a time of peace, but on the edges of the peace lurks a war. Slowly, ever so slowly but gathering speed each day, it eats away at the edges of the peaceful world inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Friendships are tested, friends become enemies, only rarely do enemies become friends. Tension between houses are at an all time high as well as house rivalries. Some people think that this will just blow over, while others think it's something much more serious. More sinister. Those people are right. However, for the time being the students and staff at Hogwarts while remaining ever vigilant, are going about their school lives blissfully.
