Fenrir, or Fenris, is the son of Loki. He is seen as a giant wolf and is associated with the end of the world. Because of that, the Norse gods locked him in a cage, where only Tys, god of war, had the courage to feed him. Once he had grown, the gods tried to trick him into chains by making it into a test of strenght. Fenrir accepted, eager to show off his brute force. The chains the gods put on him snapped easily. So, the gods, afraid of Fenrir, needed an alternative. They asked the dwarves to make a magic chain, to be known as Gleipnir. It is made of the footsteps of the cat, the spittle of a bird, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the breath of fishes and the sinews of a bear. Fenrir was wary of their trick this time, and only complied if one of the gods would put their hand in his arm. Only Tys agreed. Once Fenrir found he could not break free of his binds, he bit off Tys's hand. However, he was bound with chain so strong, the gods did not fear to carry him to a rock, to which he would be chained. This rock's name is Gioll and it rests a mile under the surface of the earth. However, Fenrir will not always be bound to Gioll. On Ragnarok, he will break through Gleipnir and battle against the gods alongside the giants. He is destined to kill and eat Odin, who will be avenged by Vidar, Odin's son.

Get the Lake Fenton High School mug.The Fender Jaguar is an electric guitar created in 1962 by company founder Leo Fender.
Based on the Jazzmaster which had a late-1950's surf rock following, the aim was to take the existing blueprint and make it more suitable for that genre. The neck's length was reduced, more switches were added for more tonal options, brighter pickups were used and a special device called a mute was created.
These extra features gave the guitar far more attack and a very aggressive percussive tone. Sadly, the Jaguar also had technical problems due to a complicated bridge design which affected the sustain and could render the guitar nearly unplayable if not set up just right. Both of these factors originally made the guitar very unpopular compared to the simpler and allegedly more versatile Stratocaster and Telecaster, and the instrument was cancelled after thirteen years in production.
But thanks to grunge-era heroes Dinosuar Jr., Sonic Youth, Nirvana and Pavement, these guitars enjoyed a slow but steady surge of popularity for their unusual looks, sounds and affordability compared to other vintage Fender instruments.
Many indepedant builders have created solutions for the more problematic design aspects, and Fender itself has released different variations in the past decade, made in America, Japan and most recently Mexico.
The Jaguar is still considered a "cult" instrument but more and more players are finding it is the best guitar for them.

Timmy: "Dude, I just got myself a Japanese-made Fender Jaguar. It was a little tricky to set up but the tone, looks and feel are amazing! I like it better than my other Fenders now."
Kenny: "Sweet. I've always wanted to get one of those."

Popular upgrades for the Jaguar include fitting a Mustang bridge or a Mastery bridge to replace the original, adding a Buzz Stop, changing the pickups and replacing the electronics. All of these change the tone and feel but can make the guitar more versatile and reliable depending on the player.

Get the Fender Jaguar mug.Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opiate analgesic similar to but more potent than morphine. It is typically used to treat patients with severe pain, or to manage pain after surgery. It is also sometimes used to treat people with chronic pain who are physically tolerant to opiates. It is a schedule II prescription drug.
In its prescription form, fentanyl is known as Actiq, Duragesic, and Sublimaze.
When prescribed by a physician, fentanyl is often administered via injection, transdermal patch, or in lozenge form. However, the type of fentanyl associated with recent overdoses was produced in clandestine laboratories and mixed with (or substituted for) heroin in a powder form.
Mixing fentanyl with street-sold heroin or cocaine markedly amplifies their potency and potential dangers. Effects include: euphoria, drowsiness/respiratory depression and arrest, nausea, confusion, constipation, sedation, unconsciousness, coma, tolerance, and addiction.
