Clip-less curling irons are the latest innovation in hair technology. Learn how to get luxurious curls How to create beautiful curlswith this hair tutorial!
By Charleen Gonzalez for Shine Latina
Traditional curling irons with clips can leave ugly kinks in your hair. Well, it's time to throw away your old iron, and try the new clip-less version that curls your hair in seconds and leaves it looking sultry. After trying Sultra's The Bombshell Cone Rod Curling Iron, I'm never going back to a clip-style curling wand. With this new product, you can create many different looks- from tight curls to loose waves. The nicest thing about The Bombshell is that it has little grips on the barrel which grab your hair making it easier to curl. The bonus? A special glove to avoid any burns while curling your locks.
How to curl your hair with a clip-less iron
Step 1:
Divide your hair into at least three sections- top, middle and bottom layer, and clip in place. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you might need to divide it into fewer or more sections.
Step 2:
Place the glove included with The Bombshell on your hand, and hold the barrel with the other. Select a small section of hair, no more than an inch, and wrap it around the curling wand. You can place the wand on top or under the hair; you decide which way you want the curl to go.
Step 3:
After a few seconds, gather the hair at the base of the wand, and slide it out from the tip of the wand. The Bombshell curls the hair in a matter of seconds, so don't leave your hair wrapped around the iron for too long. If your hair is hot to the touch, then you know it's time to take it off the iron.

Step 4:
If you want a tighter curl, I suggest pinning each curled piece of hair with a bobby pin and letting the curls set for 30 minutes. If you want softer curls or waves, you can either brush out the curls with a wide-comb or simply run your fingers through your hair. Finish by using some hairspray to set the curls. I use Garnier Fructise Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray.

We Are What We Are (2013)
Saturday, October 19
1hr 45mins // directed by:Jim Mickle // featuring:Bill Sage, Amber Childers, Julia Garner, Michael Parks
In We Are What We Are, a seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason.
Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Bill Sage) rules his family with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers) and Rose (Julia Garner) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, the local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years.

The state's third annual Death with Dignity Act report released May 2 shows that 103 people requested and received lethal doses of medication in 2011. Since the 2009 law was passed, 255 terminally ill adults have received medication in Washington.
According to the report by the Washington State Department of Health, the 103 prescriptions were written by 80 different physicians and dispensed by 46 different pharmacists. The report covers Jan. 1-Dec. 31. Participation increased 16 percent in 2011 from 2010.
Of the 103 people who received lethal doses of prescription medication, 94 are known to have died. Seventy died after taking the medication. Those who died were between the ages of 41 and 101. More than 90 percent lived west of the Cascades. Most had cancer.
According to prescribing physicians, many of the patients who received medication expressed concern about loss of autonomy as a reason for requesting a prescription.
Under Washington's Death with Dignity Act, the Department of Health collects information from patients and providers who choose to participate, monitors compliance with reporting requirements and produces an annual report.
For information about the Death with Dignity Act, see www.doh.wa.gov/dwda on the agency website.

May 4, 2004
COLUMBUS, OH - A wildfire symposium to discuss the steps landowners can take to reduce the threat of wildfires will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., May 14 at the Fawcett Center in Columbus.
The natural landscape in North America, including Ohio, has been greatly affected by wildland fire. Throughout history, fire has been seen as both a negative, destructive force, and more recently, a tool to maintain and restore healthy and diverse landscapes. At the wildland fire symposium, natural resource experts will provide a greater understanding of the historical role fire has played in Ohio's wildlands. Additional topics include how Ohio's traditional mixed oak forests are being replaced by red maple trees. The symposium is expected to attract a varied audience, including land managers, conservationists, public officials and the public.
The Ohio State University, Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, Ohio

Great BuyPros: Super fast and light. I run visual studio and other high memory programs and haven't had really any issues. Durable, I take it took school everyday and haven't had any of the issues that previous reviewers have had. Can't beat the performance for the price. Cons: The screen is a little flimsy but I don't see how this could be a problem unless you were using the laptop during turbulence or on a safari in Africa. I feel that this isn't a major issue as long as you are careful with it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not so goodPros: Extremely light, screen is okay, and relatively fast. Cons: The screen is miserable in terms of durability. My friend picked this up the first day and when he opened it 3 pixels had gone out. Over the course of the 3 months I have had it two more went out for a total of 5. I am not even rough with this machine and handle it with extreme care especially since the pixels keep going out. It is an absolute flaw, and on top of it the overall feel is cheap. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
An Adequate UltrabookPros: This machine is light, small, and fast. With a little work, Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit runs well on it. Cons: Trackpad is poorly-designed, buttons especially. Aesthetics are generally poor - brushed metal finish on magnesium looks fine, but the chromed plastic hinges and trackpad buttons are very 1995. The stock Win8 + OEM bloat takes up 70+ gigs on the 128GB SSD. Other Thoughts: This is a passable machine, but nothing fancy. If you can get a deal, it is certainly portable and fairly capable, if not fun to use. Did you find this review helpful? |
Screen will crack; do not buyPros: Lightweight and fast when it works Cons: The screen backing is flimsy, the screen is flush with the bezel, and the palm rest is higher than the keyboard (look at the side view detail image for an idea). The result is that it's trivial to crack the screen just by picking up the closed laptop--the screen will be in contact with the sharp corner, so light pressure can be enough to break the screen. Other Thoughts: The design defect that makes it ridiculously easy to damage the screen makes this laptop one to avoid. The lack of warranty support should make anyone question buying anything from this manufacturer. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

6.0 powerstroke problem...shocking huh!
My truck will start right up and run fine for about 5 min then it just shuts rights down. Iv replaced fuel pump and filters and the cam shaft positioning sensor. Still does the same thing. Its not throwing any codes either. Its an 04 f350. Please help me!
November 2nd, 2010, 06:58 AM | #3 |
go'til itsounds expensive
Are you just replacing shit without diagnosis or have you replaced them in the past?
I believe 6.0 have a high oil pressure sensor that will go bad and cause this. Its a safety feature that will shut down the motor if a certain oil pressure is not achieved. Don't quote me, but i remember hearing something like that. Good luck |

Did you fix it?
If not, pull the upper fuel filter cap and see if the cup is empty when it dies. I know you already replaced the pump and filters, but it would be nice to know if its getting fuel. Also a X2 on the air filter. |

are the 6.0's the same type of injection as the 7.3? if so theres a little oring i believe under the intake (if i remember right) that sends oil to the injection system to open the injectors. my buddy had it happen on his 7.3 and it wasnt getting enough oil pressure to open the injectors. he thought it was bad injection pump but it ended up being a $.30 oring. just a thought.

Jainism portal |
The Kalpa Sūtra (Sanskrit: कल्पसूत्र) is a Jain text containing the biographies of the Jain Tirthankaras, notably Parshvanath and Mahavira, including the latter's Nirvana.[1] Bhadrabahu I is considered the author of the text and it is traditionally said to have been composed about one hundred and fifty years after Nirvāṇa of Mahavira (traditionally 599 – 527 BCE).[2]
Within the six sections of the Jain literary corpus belonging to the Svetambara school, it is classed as one of the Cheda Sūtras. This Sutra contains detailed life histories and, from the mid-15th century, was frequently illustrated with miniature painting. The oldest surviving copies are written on paper in western India in the 14th century.
The book is read and illustrated in an eight day long festival of Paryushan by Jain monks for general people. Only Monks can read this scriptures as in olden days ordinary people could not get their copy of kalpasutra as printing was not yet invented[citation needed].

Ultra Laboratories Ultra Botanicals Pregnenolone Hormone Support - 60 Capsules
Ultra Botanicals Pregnenolone Hormone Support is often called the master hormone because it can be converted to many other steroidal hormones. Its levels in the body decline with age so it may need to be supplemented. Pregnenolone serves as a precursor to other hormones, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and progesterone. The cells of both the adrenal gland and the central nervous system synthesize pregnenolone. Human studies show there are much higher concentrations of pregnenolone in the nervous tissue, than in the bloodstream. Animal studies indicate the concentration of pregnenolone in the brain is ten-fold higher than that of other stress-related hormones (including DHEA). Pregnenolone is present in the blood as both free pregnenolone and a more stable form, pregnenolone-sulfate.
Say "No" to Magnesium Stearate!Numerous studies have shown that stearic acid (one of the two components found in magnesium stearate) is toxic! Some of the most alarming research found regarding stearic acid is that it has been shown to be immuno-suppressive! Stearic acid has been confirmed to suppress T-cell function (immune function) in several landmark articles which were published in Biochemistry in 1989 and also in Immunology Magazine in 1990 and 1994. In addition, stearic acid (found in almost EVERY capsule and tablet sold) has been shown in human and animal studies to cause "programmed cell death" (apoptosis) in both heart and nerve tissue as published in both the American Journal of Medical Sciences in 1999 and the Journal of Neurochemistry in 2003.
Ultra Botanicals is committed to creating only clean, additive-free products and having this be a priority on each of their new labels was of the utmost importance. You can be 100% certain that their ingredients are offered to you in the purest form possible. They believe a natural and pure product is every customer's right. Not all Supplements are the Same! Ultra Botanicals' products do NOT contain: Magnesium Stearate, Flow Agents, Fillers, Chemicals or Irradiated Ingredients.

Or, ya know, you could just ignore it. Or if it's within your power, even enjoy it. I've only read the first chapter book, but it gives me hope that the "Secret Mission" series will add a lot more depth to the story as a whole. And the sets do a great job maximizing user-friendly construction just as BIONICLE's sets tried to do for so many years with the increases in posability and customization potential over the years. Obviously the theme isn't for everyone, but it'd be great if people who didn't like it would stop acting like its very existence is an offense against them.I wish BIONICLE fans would get the idea already that Hero Factory is doing nobody any harm just by existence. It wouldn't make BIONICLE or even the more Technic-based constraction building style come back any quicker if it were to end abruptly. Just look at all the changes in building styles that happened during BIONICLE's lifespan and how few of them were ever reversed-- this is because most of those changes were made for very sound reasons. And as for the story, there's no reason why TLG couldn't create another story as brilliant as BIONICLE's, but I can think of no reason except laziness that they'd write themselves into a hole by constraining themselves to a story that's already been written, when they have the same potential to create great original stories that they have had since before BIONICLE's existence.Well, I guess this means we'll have to tolerate hero factory for another half-year or possibly a year

Posted Oct 07 2012 - 08:53 AM
I was never such a fan of Cathy Hapka, but that was largely due to what I perceived as her inferior grasp of the Bionicle universe's internal rules and mechanics. In a series that takes place in a more realistic world, with more focus on characterization than on fantasy worldbuilding, I'm sure she'll do just fine.Meanwhile, Greg's writing for Ninjago and Hero Factory is spectacular. It's a shame Greg's been largely replaced in writing the Ninjago chapter books by Tracey West, who only writes minimalist adaptations of television episodes as opposed to offering a new or deeper perspective on the Ninjago story. But Greg's work on the graphic novels is still excellent, and the Hero Factory novels are good enough to make up for that theme's fairly weak television episodes.I couldn't help but notice that the Ninjago novels and HF chapter books are both written by Greg. And the the LEGO friends books are written by Cathy Hapka. Both are good writers, so I bet fans of all those series are going to get some great storylines within these books.

...What? I'm sorry, your comment was a little bit hard to decipher. Did you use Google Translate or something?In any case, I would say you should give the Hero Factory: Secret Mission books a chance. They're very well-written and reminiscent of Greg's run on Bionicle. The Ninjago graphic novels are decent, but they pale in comparison to the Bionicle comics. Greg Farshtey also wrote the earlier Ninjago prose novels, which were superb and consisted of brand new story, but recently Greg stopped writing those, and was replaced by Tracey West, who only writes mediocre adaptations of the television episodes.Hero Factory book that new but Hero Factory do not talk about other Hero Factory team.Ninjago book is a good idea beside bionicle, out of Hero Factory and Ninjago i go with Ninjago.

Bias toward the Null Hypothesis in Model-Free Linkage Analysis Is Highly Dependent on the Test Statistic Used The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 74, Issue 6, 1 June 2004, Pages 1294-1302 Heather J. Cordell Abstract Recently, it has been suggested that traditional nonparametric multipoint-linkage procedures can show a "bias" toward the null hypothesis of no effect when there is incomplete information about allele sharing at genotyped marker loci (or at positions in between marker loci). Here, I investigate the extent of this bias for a variety of test statistics commonly used in qualitative- ("affecteds only") and quantitative-trait linkage analysis. Through simulation and analytical derivation, I show that many of the test statistics available in standard linkage analysis packages (such as Genehunter, Merlin, and Allegro) are, in fact, not affected by this bias problem. A few test statistics—most notably the nonparametric linkage statistic and, to a lesser extent, the Aspex-MLS and Haseman-Elston statistics—are affected by the bias. Variance-components procedures, although unbiased, can show inflation or deflation of the test statistic attributable to the inclusion of pairs with incomplete identity-by-descent information. Results obtained—for instance, in genome scans—using these methods might therefore be worth revisiting to see if greater power can be obtained by use of an alternative statistic or by eliminating or downweighting uninformative relative pairs.

Traditional nonparametric "multipoint" statistical procedures have been developed for assigning allele-sharing values at a locus of interest to pairs of relatives for linkage studies. These procedures attempt to accommodate a lack of informativity, nongenotyped loci, missing data, and related issues concerning the genetic markers used in a linkage study. However, such procedures often cannot overcome these phenomena in compelling ways and, as a result, assign relevant relative pairs allele-sharing values that are "expected" for those pairs. The practice of assigning expected allele-sharing values to relative pairs in the face of a lack of explicit allele-transmission information can bias traditional nonparametric linkage test statistics toward the null hypothesis of no locus effect. This bias is due to the use of expected values, rather than to a lack of information about actual allele sharing at relevant marker loci. The bias will vary from study to study on the basis of the DNA markers, sample size, relative-pair types, and pedigree structures used, but it can be extremely pronounced and could contribute to a lack of consistent success in the application of traditional nonparametric linkage analyses to complex human traits and diseases. There are several potential ways to overcome this problem, but their foundations deserve greater research. We expose many of the issues concerning allele sharing with data from a large affected-sibling-pair study investigating the genetic basis of autism.

NAI Code and Enforcement
The NAI Code and Enforcement Program: An Overview
The NAI Code of Conduct is a set of self-regulatory principles which all NAI member companies must agree to uphold in order to be members. The Code requires notice and choice with respect to Interest-Based Advertising, limits the types of data that member companies can use for advertising purposes, and imposes a host of substantive restrictions on member companies' collection, use, and transfer of data used for Interest-Based Advertising.
To help ensure that members abide by the NAI Code, the NAI has a robust compliance program, including sanctions mechanisms. Find out more about our enforcement program here.
The NAI updated its Code of Conduct in the spring of 2013. For the remainder of 2013, member companies will be subject to the 2008 NAI Principles, which can be found here. The NAI will begin enforcing the 2013 NAI Code in January 2014.

The solicitor of a 39-year-old County Derry man claims that he has the largest criminal record in the history of the British and Irish judicial system.
Eamon Lynch, from Wesley Street, in Derry, has been jailed having admitted to a number of traffic offenses in the city, in 2010. He will spend half of his 28-month sentence in jail.
Speaking in court on Wednesday Judge Piers Grant called his record "appalling" . He said his files contained the most significant number of convictions ever to come before him.
The BBC reports that Lynch, a father-of-eight, has 472 past convictions, including almost 300 driving offenses. He has also racked up offenses for burglary, assault, forgery and drugs.
The court heard that Lynch was seen in 2010 driving a car which struck two parked cars. The owner of the cars recognized Lynch who was later seen on walking on the Craigavon Bridge. When the police approached he threw the keys to the car into the River Foyle.
He was arrested and breathalyzed. The police found his to be more than twice the legal limit.
At the time of his arrest he was disqualified from driving until 2023.
The court also heard that last year Lynch has moved to Donegal where he committed another seven road traffic offences.

Creating Images with openSUSE Build Service 1.5
The newly released version 1.5 of the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) will enable developers to build not only software packages but entire distributions.
Besides exporting ISO images and FTP trees, OBS 1.5 can create installable images, such as the live CDs and DVDs.In addition, the new version can create images for installable USB sticks, Xen images and VMware images.
Like SUSE Studio, the new capabilities of the Build Service can be attributed to KIWI.
OpenSUSE 11.1 was the first release to be built entirely using the Build Service. Version 1.5 also comes with some experimental features including support for cross-architecture for ARM and package download on demand.
An abundance of articles dealing with the Build Service can be found on the openSUSE Wiki.

Embarkation at Tampa was a breeze. If driving, be sure to use Valet Parking. When you disembark you're in your car loaded up within 10 minutes once you pass thought Customs. From leaving the ship to leaving the port took less than 30 minutes.
The first stop, Key West, was an adventure. This stop is best if you don't use the HAL booked excursions. Everything you need to see during this short visit is in a very compact city center. Belize, if you don't book a Mayan Ruin trip, don't waste your time with the tourist oriented restricted shopping offered at their Cruise Center. We booked our trip to Xuantunich through Belizecruiseexcursions.com, 10 passenger Van instead of an old bus with the HAL excursion. This trip is worth the time and money. We heard from others that the tube rafting experience was great.
Santo Tomas De Castillo is a good reason to enjoy a day on board. Nothing there close, $30.00 taxi for a 5-minute trip to downtown shopping, and not much to see in this Industrial Port stop. Cozumel was not much better, but at least it was tourist oriented with decent shopping and cold beer.
This was the first trip for this ship using what HAL calls open seating for the dinner meal. They had a very difficult time pulling it off. Service was very slow, up to 2 hours for a 4-course meal. If you want to walk up and wait for a table, it worked well as long as you have a very small group. If you wanted to make reservations, be aware, you will be limited to either a 5:30pm or 7:15pm seating. You get the same quality with much faster and friendlier service with hot food using the Lido at your choice of time with no delays. The quality of food presented was very good with great choices available.
Entertainment was excellent with lots to do for whatever your interest shows, bingo, casino, cooking classes, movies, and exercise. Watch out for the Internet Service. It's very slow, very expensive, and very bandwidth restricted. Don't even think of using voip services or sending e-mail with photos. You will spend 75% of your time online just waiting.
Overall, a very enjoyable trip on a quality ship.

I know when sharing a sensor the address of the shared sensor is under SHARED VALUES. How do you share values from a unit on another integrator? I've tried something like 3:10 and it doesn't work.
I dont think you can share with another device on another bus. you might be able to map it across the GCM

American music video and film director known for his stylish movies, which usually trended toward the dark and atmospheric.
Fincher was raised in San Anselmo, California, where he became interested in movies at a young age, in part because he was a neighbour of filmmaker George Lucas. Fincher was still a teenager when he became an assistant cameraman at Industrial Light & Magic, Lucas's special-effects studio. In the mid-1980s Fincher began directing commercials, which quickly led to a successful career as a music video director. He made some of the most iconic music videos of the 1980s and '90sincluding those for Madonna's Express Yourself (1989) and Vogue (1990), as well as Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun (1989)which were noted for their pronounced cinematic qualities, such as elaborate sets and deft camerawork.
In 1992 Fincher made his feature-film directorial debut with Alien 3. The movie had a troubled production, and it did poorly both critically and commercially. The experience soured Fincher on big-budget film franchises, and his next movie was the relatively small-scale thriller Se7en (1995), which revolves around two detectives (played by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt) searching for a serial killer (played by Kevin Spacey) who bases his murders on the seven deadly sins. The moody Se7en earned positive reviews and was a box-office success, establishing Fincher as an up-and-coming director in Hollywood circles. He then made The Game (1997), in which a financier (Michael Douglas) gets caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse after receiving a mysterious birthday present from his wayward brother (Sean Penn).
A perfectionist behind the camera, Fincher became known for his proclivity to shoot a scene numerous timessometimes more than 50 takes even for a relatively minor shot. His demanding nature resulted in films with great visual flair, including his 1999 work, Fight Club (starring Pitt and Edward Norton), which centres on a disaffected white-collar worker who establishes a series of underground fighting organizations. That film doubles as a sardonic exploration of self-identity and masculinity. A box-office disappointment in its theatrical run, Fight Club became a cult sensation on home video, where it developed a devoted following. Fincher then made Panic Room (2002), the tale of a mother (Jodie Foster) and daughter (Kristen Stewart) who fight off a harrowing home invasion.
It was five years until Fincher's next feature film, Zodiac (2007), which recounted the murders of the Zodiac killer and the ultimately futile attempt to capture him. A marked departure from his previous films, Zodiac contains little of his signature dark colour palette, gloomy urban settings, and disorienting camera angles. Instead, the film is a stylish and tense procedural told in a straightforward manner that evokes the classic paranoid whodunits of the 1970s.
Fincher continued to broaden his range, directing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), an adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story about a man (played by Pitt) who ages backward. Although it was not as widely critically acclaimed as Zodiac, the film did earn Fincher his first Academy Award nomination for best director. He then helmed The Social Network (2010), a portrait of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's rise to power. The film was hailed by many critics as a 21st-century analogue to Citizen Kane, and Fincher won the best director Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Adam Augustyn
Fincher returned to a focus on sordid crime with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), a sleek adaptation of Stieg Larsson's best-selling Swedish novel about the investigation of an unsolved murder. He then served as an executive producer of the political drama House of Cards (2013 ), an episodic series starring Spacey that was created for Netflix and distributed via the company's online streaming-video service. Fincher also directed the program's first two hour-long episodes and won an Emmy Award for his work on the opening episode.

FBI probe in Atherton

They didn't nail Capone in a week, or a couple of years.
Today's crimes are far more plentiful and among the elitists who will no longer have privileged encarceration.
Even Trump is getting a roust.Ever since he brought up that birth certificate nonsense and lost millions.

A number of people spread a rumor about the FBI so that they could pressure Atherton council to cough up a big settlement for John Johns, who was suing the Town. It was just a scam. The Almanac fell for it, along with quite a few people in town. No probe. Just a couple of guys asking the receptionist at the FBI office to fill out a form ... a form that probably no agent spent more than a minute reading. Since it is well know that the FBI's policy that it will neither confirm nor deny that an investigation is under way, this was the perfect scam. No way for the victims of the scam to clear their names.
on Aug 10, 2012 at 2:06 pm
you need to check your facts. The rumors of the FBI investigation came up AFTER the John Johns settlement. Atherton settled because they had blown it and they were wrong. They didn't want to bleed any more in attornies fees for what was clearly a loser for them.
on Aug 10, 2012 at 3:14 pm
If you want to talk about a scam settlement I think you must include the $250,000 given the Atherton Police Officer after the criminal case was lost and no depositions were even taken for the civil case. Talk about a scam
on Aug 11, 2012 at 3:40 am
KH: I still have the cards of both of the two FBI agents who interviewed me for three hours about the San Mateo DA's office.
I didn't fill out a single form. I have never lived in Atherton and the agents never asked me about John Johns or anyone else who lives in Atherton. Their focus was DA Wagstaffe.
on Aug 14, 2012 at 6:53 am
I never fell for the FBI rumor when it first started going around. I always ignore things that people like Michael Stogner, Peter Carpenter or Cathy McKeithen say given their track record.

Photo: Thinkstock "You mean the failure theory of success?" Lani Guinier asks with characteristic vigor. Even on the phone, she radiates energy. I had begun our conversation somewhat hesitantly— I wasn't calling to inquire about her accomplishments as one of America's top legal scholars, the author of five books, and the first black woman to become a tenured professor at Harvard Law School: Would she be willing to talk, instead, about failure?
She clarifies: "The idea that failure can be a moment of liberation at the same time that it is a moment of sadness or despair. Right?" Right. This had been the subject of an unforgettable commencement address I heard her give at Bard College last spring. In his introduction, Bard president Leon Botstein had listed among Lani Guinier's achievements her surviving the infamous debacle of 1993, when former president Bill Clinton nominated her to be assistant attorney general for civil rights. She was immediately attacked in the press. At first only a trickle of conservative journalists excoriated her for ideas she had expressed in academic journals, taking them out of context and distorting them. In the most notorious instance, very subtle points she'd made about the unfairness of the winner-take-all system of voting, which denies any minority participation in decision making, as opposed to a system of proportional voting, were described as radical demands for racial quotas—quite the opposite of what she had written. The attacks were then taken up elsewhere, repeating the inaccuracies. No one from the White House defended her. On the contrary, they told her not to respond to the attacks. With no organized stance to unite them, her academic colleagues and many supporters could only watch, aghast and unheard in the circus that destroyed her as a viable nominee. As she recalled, "I quickly became branded a 'quota queen,' 'looney Lani,' 'America's madwoman.' Within a month, I was—as my son, who was then 6, liked to say—'dumped.'... I was publicly humiliated. And yet that failure ultimately gave me a public platform to talk about the very ideas that had gotten me into so much trouble." Next: "The poet who is not in trouble with the king..." Advertisement

Category: Erotica/Gay-Lesbian Erotica/Romance Description: To Mischa, life is simple. Doms are Doms and subs are for fucking, flogging, and bossing around. Until he meets Tom, that is. Tom is deeply offended when the stranger in the bar takes him for some kind of slave boy. Well, offended and more than a little excited by the thought of surrendering to Mischa. Mischa being Mischa, their meeting results in Tom losing his virginity in a way that's hotter than even his wildest fantasies. Mischa is drawn to Tom and makes another appointment. And then another, initiating Tom to every kink Mischa knows. They aren't scenes, of course, because Mischa has a "one boy, one scene" rule. But then again, Tom isn't exactly like his usual boys, and Mischa finds himself falling in love, though nowhere near ready to admit it. Luckily, Tom isn't exactly your stereotypical slave. Life is good -- until Tom gets attacked, and Mischa has to fight harder than ever to make Tom realize that he isn't going anywhere. eBook Publisher: Torquere Press/Top Shelf, 2010 www.torquerepress.com EPIC eBookstore Release Date: August 2010

It wasn't like he was in the habit of finding his subs in bars; Mischa really preferred to hunt at the club. There, the rules were straightforward. Doms were Doms and subs were for flogging, fucking, and bossing around. This was a nice, upscale hotel bar, and the only sub they'd ever heard about was probably the sandwich. He missed his leathers, too; far easier to look his part as a badass Dom in those.
He impatiently looked around to see if he could spot the boy. He tried half-heartedly to remember the name -- Tim something? That was another annoying thing; Mischa normally didn't bother with names. In his opinion, "boy" worked just fine. He never had more than one scene with a sub, and he had far more important things to do during that time than learning their names. Making them scream, mainly.
Toby had described this particular boy to Mischa, but "dark-haired, slender, sexy" fit a lot of guys. Toby might have said a few other things, too, but Mischa always concentrated on the important part -- the kinks.
However, Toby's description did fit a young guy sitting at a table in the corner. It had been a long time since Mischa had had a scene with anyone, and perhaps that was why the attractive, dark-haired man caught his eye as soon as he turned toward the corner. Or perhaps it was the young man's age; he was easily thirty years younger than the tired salesmen and conference participants in the bar.
Mischa watched him blatantly flirting with an older man who didn't seem the least bit responsive to the young guy's efforts. The chubby guy didn't exactly look the part of a master, but if there was one thing Mischa had learned during his years as a Dom, it was that they came in all shapes and sizes. Mischa frowned; if this was his date, it wasn't very smooth to hit on someone else when the boy really had a date with Mischa.
The guy looked up and caught his eyes. Oh. Definitely interest there.
The chubby man said something and got up. Dark-haired and sexy tried to hold him back, but the man just smiled apologetically and started to leave, going to the bar to pay their bill.
The boy looked after him with a despondent look on his face, and his eyes caught Mischa's again.
Mischa smiled. He was almost certain that this was his boy. His focus never wavered as he crossed the floor until he was standing next to the young man "Hi."
The boy hesitated, then he smiled. "Hello."
"Are you Tim?" Mischa really hoped that he had got the name right.
"Tom." The young man looked confused.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Mischa. Would you like a drink?" Again, not something he normally wasted his time with when he interviewed subs, but Toby had told him to go gently on this one.
"He's not used to the scene yet," Toby had said, "but his old Dom is a friend of mine and wants to make sure he's feeling at home in Boston."
So now Mischa's job was to make the young man feel at home, and he had every intention of doing so. His playroom could be downright cozy, in his opinion.
The boy hesitated, still looking a little insecure. Then he seemed to make up his mind. "Okay, but only a mineral water. I have papers to grade tomorrow."
Mischa nodded approvingly and got two mineral waters -- he never drank before a scene and didn't want his sub to, either -- and went back to the table in the corner.
"Are you a teacher?
"Yes. Well, a TA, so I'm the lucky owner of a bunch of opinionated undergrads with opinionated midterm papers."
"That sounds -- challenging." Mischa smiled, drinking from his glass.
Tom shrugged. "It's a nice way to make a little extra, though, and it sharpens my skills."
For a moment, Mischa hesitated. Could this be the wrong guy? This boy wasn't exactly getting straight to the point. Then Tom leaned in, smiling conspiratorially. "Of course, I like to sharpen my skills here as well." He winked.
Mischa laughed. "Well, it's always good to be... diverse." He liked Tom; the boy was a nice contrast to the slutty subs Mischa met sometimes. Okay, all the time, then. And he liked the boy's straightforwardness, too.
"So, what do you do for a living?" Tom inquired.
The boy really wasn't getting to the point. "I own my own business." Mischa decided to push things along a bit; even though small talk was nice, he by far preferred to spend his night in the playroom.
"So, tell me what you like. I can string you up and whip you 'til you scream, or you can get down on your knees and suck me off with your hands tied behind your back. I will fuck you, though."
He saw the incomprehension on Tom's face change to shocked surprise and knew that he had fucked up. Big time.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I opened up the sample box and this was the first one out. It really is fab! Heavy paper that gives it that importance that you need. Wonderful beach colors and design!"
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."
"Just received our wedding invitation and it looks amazing!! the paper quality is great, design looks lovely, and printing/delivery was so fast Thank you so much!! would highly recommend!!"
"The Invitations were perfect, service was fantastic very accomadating to making small changes to personalize our invitations to suit our needs! So so happy"
"These arrived very fast, were in great condition and exactly what we wanted. I can't say enough about the customer service! They even sent a personalized thank you card after I spoke with them. Ordering from Wedding Paper Divas was so easy and completely painless."
