Corliss Steam Engine Boiler Group Gear Rooms

posted by ainsleybrown

Watt’s contribution to engine design was one of practicality and reliability. Corliss’s contribution was one of efficiency, creating engines that took advantage of every last drop of energy available to it. Because of these improvements steam engines were finally able to surpass water power in terms of economic feasibility and surge ahead to become the de factor power source of the late 19th century.

On its surface the Corliss styled engine is very similar to its Watt’s style brethren. Steam is delivered into a large cylinder through means of a throttle valve, which is automatically...

Jacques and Delphine LeLaurie

posted by southern-belle

It was December of 1863 around midnight, Delphine was in her bedroom talking with Clara, her best friend. Clara was the daughter of one of Mr. and Mrs. LaLaurie's house slaves, Jenny. Jenny worked mostly for Mrs. LaLaurie, helping out with sewing and house keeping and what-not. Jenny is also Mr. LaLaurie's lover, Mrs. LaLaurie is aware of this and doesn't mind though no one outside the house-hold knows. Jenny was treated nearly as well as Mrs. LaLaurie herself.

The wind was merciless against the gathered teens and adults alike who had all met at the center of the park, surrounding the large marble fountain. On the edge of the fountain stood a man in his early thirties, his hair dark brown and messy with peach fuzz on his chin. His eyes gleamed behind his glasses.

"Calm down people! I will read the announcement momentarily."he announced, the water of the fountain beneath him splattering against his black slacks. After a few minutes, he waved an envelope in the air. "Alright, everyone seems to be here now. I will now announce the winner of the poetry...

Gender Bender Boarding School ch1 Felicity

posted by tangledfan

I sat in the bus, waiting for the next destination. I hoped the school I was being sent to was big, because then playing pranks would be easier, since the more roomy it is, the better. I've never been sure why, but it always had been.
Suddenly, the bus stopped. I looked up and saw a small, old house, not even the size of a garden shed, and sighed. Great, I thought.
But this was not the school. A girl, no more than twelve, walked out of the old shed, waving to her parents, who stood in the door. In her hand was a small suitcase. She then boarded the bus through its open doors and sat down, setting...

Dear Journal

So its mandatory that I write a journal entry everyday. I have to tell what I did and what I accomplished and whatever other nonsense I completed today. Its just another dumb thing to not look forward to doing everyday. Just like the job I was made to get. Doctor Hawkins said it would be good for me to put myself into the human society. Yeah just what I wanted. To be surround by the beings that I don't even want to be around.

What I do is carry mail on this little cart thing from one floor to the next floor of the some big company I don't care to learn the name...

werewolf/lycanthrope (Something I just came across)

posted by demon_wolf

A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope (from the Greek λυκάνθρωπος: λύκος, lukos, "wolf", and άνθρωπος, anthrōpos, man), is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or an anthropomorphic wolf-like creature, either purposely, by being bitten by another werewolf, or after being placed under a curse. This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon, as popularly noted by the medieval chronicler Gervase of Tilbury, and perhaps in earlier times among the ancient Greeks through the writings of Petronius.
