Hi everyone! I hope the holidays were good for you all. I was pretty busy as always. Back to the normal bump and grind though :)

News

Everyone welcome Balnazaar and Wrintel to the House. Balnazaar transfered from Arcona back into Tarentum's fold and Wrintel is new to the club. Make them both feel welcome!

One major project Deatharoc and I were working on is complete. You have all seen now (hopefully) the titles we will be offering to people who participate in competitions big and small. Do your best and you'll be rewarded. I am now looking for someone who can graphically create little pins to go along with these titles so the bearers can show them on their wiki. Email me separately with a sample of one pin and we'll go from there.

There's a few more projects the Aedile and I are working on or going to start working on. Both will involve members to some degree. I will have one starting up later this week that will require the help of everyone in this House. Deatharoc's is more hush hush so I'll leave him to that. If you see a way to better this House please email the both of us with your idea. I love hearing from everyone!

Oh and I don't remember if it was announced or not but I'll announce it anyways. Congrats to Ziltopia on her promotion to Krath Arch Priestess!

Competitions

Here's some competitions that are out you can all take part in. I highly recommend you also CC Deatharoc and myself when you do submit. I like to give lots of rewards to active people but I can't know your active if I don't see it :) If you have any questions about these comps just drop me an email. Remember that if there's a specific file type required when sending in your submission to follow directions!

Funny, Strange, and Amazing

This one might be both strange, stupid, disgusting, and amazing all at once. It's something I did recently and I'll probably do it again. I've encouraged others I know to do this so I'm spreading the silliness. It's called ear candling and it's basically a more natural and non-invasive way of removing build-up in the ear. It's great if you use those earbuds or stick earplugs in your ears all the time. It's basically a large, hollow, candle made largely of cloth dipped in wax. One end is tapered to a point and this goes in the ear. The other end you light on fire. Then you just lay your head to the side and wait for the candle to burn down kinda close. Uh...make sure nothing is within the reach of the fire and have a bowl of water at the ready. When you are done you just put the flame out, cut the tip open if you want, and have a look at all the junk the candle sucked out. It was pretty cool but I'm glad the hubby wasn't home or else I would have gotten another one of his 'you are just plain silly' look. I got it anyways when I told him about it. Beats having someone dig around in your ears though.
