Conceptual Flavor Binky Sweetie Catnip Toy For Kitty

Treat your artistic cat to this cool Binky toy. A fabulous abstract design in lovely earthy colors.

But what is a Binky Sweetie Catnip Toy?

We made this fun HUGE toy to resemble yummy wrapped candy. They have many features to make kitty purr…. it rattles, makes crinkle sounds, it is soft but sturdy, and it permeates of catnip.

Each toy is wrapped with a groovy cotton and fully lined in black. The ends are securely sewn shut and decorated with black hemp cord. We added some crinkle stuff so when kitty bites it they will hear that candy wrapper sound. Inside we securely placed some dried beans to make a rattle. And the finishing touch of course, is plenty of organic catnip. Each is about 9″ long x 2 1/2″ wide.

Each toy is made with new cotton or cotton/linen fabrics. We use groovy, rare, imported, and some times out of print fabrics to make each Binky unique. They are filled to capacity with organic catnip and stuffing. Each toy is packaged for catnip freshness. (see photo of packaging)

Your package is shipped usually within 2 business days after your payment is received.

USA buyers… Your package will be shipped by First Class Mail. Priority Mail is available at an additional cost.

Meredith Gentry #7: Swallowing Darkness, by Laurell K. Hamilton

There is a lot going on in “Swallowing Darkness” and not all of it is good. While some plot lines from previous novels are finally resolved, they are usually done so in a “telling” rather than showing manner. It is a relief though to finally see something brought to a finish, as some of the books in the series meandered and didn’t really accomplish a whole lot other than stretching out the story.

Merry is much harsher then ever before – now that she is finally pregnant, Hamilton uses that as an excuse for her new attitude – protecting herself, her unborn children, and their fathers at all costs, and hell with everybody else. Merry even goes so far as to draw the Illinois National Guard into sidhe conflicts, threatening the lives of dozens of humans so she can stay alive. This seems like a far cry from the Merry of previous novels, a character was merciful and gentle, and who generally tried to avoid bloodshed.

Without trying to spoil too much, Merry’s goal also changes in this novel, and she ponders giving up the throne for the men she loves. Again, different character from the one in the previous books – many many times Merry told readers how she would take the Unseelie throne because she was the best choice, between her sadistic aunt and insane cousin.

I will say that I enjoyed “Swallowing Darkness” on the surface, but if I dug too deeply I didn’t like it as much. It seems as if Hamilton spent 6 books building a plot, world, and characters, and then in 1 book changed way too many things to sum things up and move on to something else.

3/5.

Great…  I come back to some fairly disheartening news…  Aionus went an posted a comment on the video I just created for the contest.  Apparently aionus believes the lyrics for the song are too explicit, breaking the rules an’ possibly voiding my entry in the contest.  I call bullshit.  The lyrics are suggestive at worst, an’ if suggestive is deemed inappropriate how do they expect us to conjure up a plausible entry when 90% of the female armor exposes cleavage an’ ass cheeks?

What pisses me off the most is the song was the toughest part of the video making, lmao!  Ah hell, at least I got a decent video out of this ordeal.  If the video gets disqualified, at this point, I don’t know whether or not I’ll take a shot at a second attempt.

[edit] K, so apparently I didn’t read all the rules.  Finding the link with the complete guidelines, I stumbled upon this lil’ tidbit:

An’ the approved videos featuring Christmas songs NOT owned by the sponsors or video makers were accepted… how?  Why?  Figures, this’ what happens when I actually decide to take part in a contest.  =P

December 22, 2009 by Tim Beissmann

22 Comments

Volkswagen is adding an entry-level Scirocco to its range by taking the 90kW petrol engine from the Golf and dumping it straight into the two-door coupe.

The 1.4-litre TSI (found in the Trendline in Australia) produces similar numbers in the Scirocco.

Peak torque remains at 200Nm, as does the top speed of 200km/h, while the 9.7 second 0-100km/h sprint takes 0.2secs longer in the coupe.

Fuel economy is a handy 6.4 litres/100km while CO2 is produced at a rate of 146g/km, making it the cleanest petrol engine in the range.

Despite going on sale in the UK from January 4, buyers may be forced to wait a while for delivery.

A disclaimer on Volkswagen’s UK website confirms that due to high demand for the engine there is a four to five months delay on factory production.

When it does arrive, it will be decked out with ABS, ESP and six airbags, as well as a six-CD changer, iPod preparation, rain and dusk sensors and 17in ‘Donington’ alloys at a starting price of £18,860 (AUD$34,340) RRP on the road.

The Need, so long ignored, so long neglected, so long hidden, was back, stronger, more demanding than ever. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. By now my temples were pounding and every hair on my body was standing straight, straining, as if they were desperate to get away from me. I was surging with adrenaline, every second seemed to draw out, every sound echoed through my head and every throb of pulse urged me forward, like the beating of a war drum. I didn’t stop to think. I didn’t stop to plan. I just walked on through the wide open front door and into the house.

Now, walking, in broad daylight, into an unfamiliar house, with the express purpose of creating some extra ventilation in some little fuckers flesh, isn’t the cleverest thing I’ve ever done. The rational part of my brain was screaming at me to stop. I didn’t know the layout. I had no weapon. I had no escape plan. I didn’t know if any neighbours had seen me and hell, I didn’t even know how many people were inside. It was a total dumbass, Richard Chase thing to do, but The Need was in control now and it had given me, along with a spike in adrenaline, total tunnel vision.

The house, obviously some dilapidated student nest, was an absolute trash-pit. The junkyard ambience of the lounge room was overwhelming. Putrid pizza boxes, discarded beer and spirit bottles, the ubiquitous bong, painted black with fetid resin, and a disgusting old couch that was stained with ash and an infinite array of other substances I had no desire to know about.

The grotesque room funnelled into a dank hallway and from the other end of its dark, windowless length came a blast of music. It was towards this that I made my way. Three doors were arranged down one side of the hall, which opened up onto what seemed to be a kitchen. Music was pouring from the third door along and, as I peeked around the corner, I saw my new obsession standing in the middle of what looked like a pawn shop explosion. I can only assume it was his bedroom. He stood there, back to me, posture arrogant and angular, typing something into his phone. As I stepped over the threshold, The Need boiled over and I moved towards him. He turned just as I closed in, his eyes locked onto mine and I saw confusion flicker across them.

I don’t remember much after that.
