Review of chapter "Chapter 22" from
I just realized that if they want more children that they always have to look what kind of gender the baby will have. When the gender is a girl then Legolas has to carry the baby. The Valar promised any daugther and not the first born. Darn that's harsh.
When it was the first born Elorien/Dawn could be the one. She is made out of Buffy and not Joyce so technical she is Buffy's daughter. They could have use it in the future when they want more children and Elorien already past the age when slayers are called.
Ah well this is only is important when this is gone be a very long story with more pregnancies involved or if you want to write a sequel when this one is finished.
loved it short but still loved it. Can't wait for more.
Comments from author:
Thank you as always for taking time to review.
Yes you are spot on with your comments, although your comment about Elorien hadn't actually occurred to me, still you are quite right that it could be viewed that way. Since I hadn't taken it into consideration I just thought that any future daughters would have to be birthed by Legolas.
As to a sequel I didn't think there would be anything left to include in a sequel once this concluded, I could only forsee a sequel if this had not been the alternative I chose. I am not sure about doing any stories that involve actions such as battles as this story in particular was always going to focus on love and relationships

Review of chapter "Chapter 21" from
Awww. Poor Puffy Legolas. LOL though really I think he would be so delighted with the babies that he wouldn't even be that upset about being teased.
And I wanna just say I LOVE Faramir the one in the book of course. Movie version Faramir was given a bad script.
Ok now that that is out of the way, I am really looking forward to the mending of the family tree for Legolas his father and of course Buffy, Dawn and babies. : )
Comments from author:
Thank you as always for taking the time to review and let me know what you liked.
I am glad that you enjoyed it and the reunion and mending will happen in the last chapter which is only a couple of chapters away and which is already half written. I hope that you will be as pleased with it as I have been writing it.
As to Faramir in the film I am a great fan of David Wenham as we are both Australian and I think great especially in the extended version.

Review of chapter "Chapter 21" from
Can't wait for another update. I waited long before I started reading again. Not because I didn't like the story. I waited so long so I could read more instead of one chapter. And guess what. you didn't disappoint me. Love the way you rescued the daughter. You've got a wicked mind and I like it.
good writing. Loved it and loving it even more now. Don't wait to long before you post another chapter.
Edit: 70th huh, I saw. About the reviewers I read them so I thought what the heck you need a good review so you won't doubt yourself. And the wicked is meant as a compliment and hey let the man feel what we feel when we are pregnant. Thats why I said you have a wicked mind.
Comments from author:
Firstly congratulations for being my 70th reviewer for this story on this site. Secondly welcome back, I am grateful that you didn't give up on this and that I didn't disappoint you with where it is heading.
None of my reviewers have commented on my wicked mind before but I will take that as a compliment although I really wasn't aware I had one especially in regards to this story. But I am really pleased that you liked the way I resolved it as that particular issue has caused quite a reaction amongst some reviewers and a lot of soul searching for me.
Thank you too for your comment on my writing as that is always appreciated and don't worry the next chapter will be up next week with only 2 more chapters to go after that, so I hope you will also let me know what you think of those as well.

YUP! Called that! One way to keep the PTB's from getting their grubby lil hands on the baby girl.
Comments from author:
Thank you for letting me know what you think again, it is much appreciated and I am glad you were not turned off by my choice of how to keep the baby safe. As always I tried to do this with the dignity the characters deserve, I am glad that I achieved it.
Look forward to your comments for the next chapter which will be posted in a week's time.

Review of chapter "Chapter 19" from
So I am really curious about where they need to go to keep her baby girl safe from the Powers that Be. It seems really weird that the Valar or Buffy would agree to that but then I don't know the details. Legolas's father...he would Love Buffy if he would meet with her with an open mind and give her half a chance. Though hasn't she been adopted by Galadriel? That should help some of his concerns.
Comments from author:
First off thank you for taking the time to review,it is always appreciated.
In regards to the safe place issue, they don't need to go somewhere so much as do something as Whistler told Buffy that it was the Valar that agreed to the proviso in regard to any daughter gave birth to and Buffy doesn't know about this agreement yet.
As to Legolas' father, I agree that he would probably love her if he had a more open mind, but the King of Mirkwood was the only one of the rulers of an Elven realm that hadn't received an Elven Ring of Power. Not only that his kingdom was the most threatened before and during the Ring War.
Because of this it is believed that he resented Lady Galadriel for having her ring of power.
I look forward to hearing your cooments on the next chapter if .you have the time.

Review of chapter "Chapter 19" from
You def made my birthday brighter! So when will Legolas find out about the twins and who is going to talk to his Dad? Cause that just makes it worse on the twins for both parents to be upset like that.
Comments from author:
Well Happy Birthday and it was my pleasure and you made my day by reviewing so there you go.
Yes Legolas will be finding out about the twins in the next chapter, as for his dad you will have to wait till near the end for that one.
Am working on the last 2 chapters now and hope to put the last chapter up on Valentine's Day by posting weekly,so you only have to wait a week for the next installment.

Review of chapter "Chapter 18" from
Personally I happen to enjoy the thought of a male having to go through what we women have to go through to make another life! That said, there is nothing wrong with L. having a magical carry of the baby girl. With Buffy carrying her till almost term then L "giving birth" to her so that the terms of the "contract" can't be fulfilled so that they keep their children! With the wrapped swollen belly of L that was shown, it stands to reason that he "gave birth" to the baby girl.
Yes, for once I read the reviews first. LOL
Comments from author:
Thank you so much for your review, I was starting to wonder if anyone was going to review and I am glad that you're not put off by the whole male pregnancy thing. I was hoping that this chapter would be able to give a rational reason for it and allay some trepidations that other reviewers have expressed.
Next chapter will be up in a week as the rest of the chapters bar the last two have already been written.

Review of chapter "Chapter 17" from
Nice to see this being continued. For you questions 1) Adoption: I'll say maybe, if you think you can pull it off in a believable manner then go ahead. 2) MPreg: Hell No, please for the love of God don't do it. Legolas suffering from the symptoms is in the realm of believableity due to the bond he shares with Buffy, but adding... THAT to it is taking it too far. ~GraysonPaladin
Comments from author:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me on these issues as it is always appreciated when an author gets feedback.
First to the adoption as that is something previous reviewers have now asked for, I will be going ahead with that and hope that you not be disappointed.
As to the male pregnancy issue this seems to have certainly sparked comment, and I take your own comments on board. See previous answers to reviews for chapter 17 to find out how I have suggested solving this issue and feel free to let me know what you think.
I must say while I love my reviewers to bits and understand that they are important to any author I am a little disappointed that my original take on this story would upset everyone, as the friend I was writing this for who under normal circumstances would agree with you has seen the future chapters and has no problem with it. As always I believe I have written the story in the best possible taste, with humour and absolute sympathy to the characters involved. and as I have mentioned before I do my upmost to see that the characters are as true as I can make them given their circumstances.

Review of chapter "Chapter 17" from
Thank you for finaly putting another wonderful chapter up. I would be happy to read whatever you feel like writing, but I can understand how some people might be adverse to male pregnancy, it might be a good idea to add it a an alternative ending or chapter. I would also love to read the conversation between Dawn and Buffy about becoming Galadriel's family.
Comments from author:
Thank you for letting me know your thoughts on this issue and I will certainly be including that conversation.
As for the other issue yes it would seem that view tallies what those who have already replied have wanted.
I came up with another option from the one given to a previous reviewer and that is the following. As you may or may not know this story is also being hosted by Fan Fiction.net and as yet no one has gotten back to me on that site, so my solution would be to run the non male pregnancy version on this site and run the male pregnancy version on the other site.
I just would have to work out how to title the two, as my original idea was to name the non male one just Other Consequences of the Heart while putting them on both sites. However if I follow through with this new solution I don't think that title would work. Any suggestions would be most welcome at this point.

Review of chapter "Chapter 17" from
First: I'd love to read the conversation about becoming Elf Friends, it sounds like it would be very entertaining!
Also, I have no problem with male pregnancy, and if that is how you prefer to write this chapter, do what you feel works best.
Also, remember that you are the author. If others complain, well, too bad. If you get too many complaints, you could always post a second story that contains the alternate ending. ;)
Comments from author:
Thank you as always for reviewing and especially for addressing my concerns as the author on where this shall go.
I am unclear however how I would go about putting up the second story and how I would show it to be different. My only thought was note one as the male version and one as the female version. It does not become and issue until chapter 19 or 20. and I have already started adapting the required chapters.
Is it necessary to put the whole story up a second time. Please let me know your thoughts

Review of chapter "Chapter 17" from
The idea of a male pregnancy is interesting I would read it in a different story but I don't think it's appropriate here but maybe you could post the same story with that as an alternative ending. Personally I hate Dawn and I think that the less we see of her the better.
Comments from author:
Thank you for reviewing and letting me know what you thought and I agree I used to also dislike Dawn but I had hoped I made her more tolerable here. She will be part of this story in a mainly supporting role but I was hoping to keep her as a kid sister type for Legolas and Aragorn.
The male pregnancy thing I felt carried on with the fact that Legolas was already going through the symptoms which will not change regardless.
Do you have an alternate female in mind to take on the task, I had originally considered Dawn for that role but she seemed a little young to be pregnant and it would certainly look strange if both Aragorn's adopted sisters were pregnant at the same time.
After a lot of consideration and even after writing a new scene for chapter 18 to give another option, I have come to the conclusion that there would be no background in place to logically slot it in.
The story has been geared to what I will be calling COTH -The Legolas Alternative/Solution since the beginning with everything working towards that. For me to introduce another alternative and have it make sense, I would have to rewrite a considerable part of the original story.
I ask you to please give this version a chance, thank you
As for making the male pregnancy the alternate ending that certainly could be done.

Review of chapter "Chapter 16" from
I love your story so far. I know it has been a few years since you have written, but I beg you to write again soon this is truely a wonderful story. I don't know LoTR very well (only since the movies once and read the books many many years again) but you seem to do all characters involved justice. In fact I have recently been looking for the audiobooks of the LoTR novels (I am legally blind and can't read the actual books, but at last I can only find abridged version right now) because of your story and a few others I have recently read. Please, please decide to update again. Keep up the great work and have a lovely day.
Macala A.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much for your warm words and for reviewing my story, yes it has been a while hasn't it. I am particularly pleased that you mentioned the characters as that is something I try really hard to achieve.
As for the rest of the story I have had the first part of the next chapter written for quite a while and have planned out what I want to put in there, it is just finding the right words that is holding me back.
The next few chapters have already been written and I must warn you that there is male pregnancy ahead which is not as a result of a slash relationship but is a logical reason and tastefully done. I have already started to adapt the story for another version where Legolas is not the carrier but another female is.
Please let me know which version you would prefer to read.
You have a nice day too.

Review: 70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit
Posted by CapnRex101,I hope everybody is enjoying the LEGO Movie set reviews so far. For review today, I have one of the lower priced sets from the LEGO Movie selection, 70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit, priced at £24.99 or $29.99, and containing 314-pieces. I was pleasantly surprised with this set as from initial images, I had somewhat overlooked it. Now that I have it however, it is excellent, particularly Bad Cop's Police speeder, which is very sleek and has some nice features. The other main component of the set is the end of some railway tracks which originally spanned across the swamp presumably, and a pair of Super Secret Police crocodiles are also included.
Unusually, it is probably not the Minifigures that are the main draw to this set in my opinion, as only two are included, Emmet and Bad Cop, both of whom are great figures but not enough to get me particularly excited! The Police speeder model however is very appealing in particular, and I think that might be the most interesting element of the set.
Box and Contents
As with all the LEGO Movie sets, the box artwork is framed by a film strip graphic and the Minifigures are shown off in the corner. The back of the box shows some of the features including the collapsing railway bridge, the guns hidden beneath the bodywork of the Police speeder and Bad Cop's firing gun. Most of these sets have boxes which are very glossy and attractive, and I have to admit that I am a little under-whelmed by the rather thin cardboard used here, which looks dull and does not 'pop' in the way that others do on the shelf. No matter though, it is the contents that really matter of course...
A single instruction booklet is included which contains various advertisements for other sets and the film itself, along with three numbered bags.
As I mentioned earlier in the review, only two Minifigures are included, but they are all you need for this scene by the looks of it, and each of them is an excellent Minifigure, so I have no complaints. The first of these is Emmet, who appears in many of the LEGO Movie sets. This can be a little frustrating when you have a small army of him, but it cannot be helped and he needs to be in sets which recreate scenes containing his character, so this is not an issue in my opinion. He makes use of a couple of new parts, his hairpiece and the 'Piece of Resistance' which is attached to his back using a neck bracket. His face is printed on both sides, with a smile and an expression of extraordinary terror, both of which look great. His orange overalls (which are printed on the front and back of his torso) are particularly eye-catching in my opinion and the silver stripes which run across the torso and legs are a nice touch, as is the ID card which hangs from his belt.
No doubt, the more interesting Minifigure of the two however is Bad Cop, who is voiced by Liam Neeson in the upcoming film and is already my favourite character, as well as being exclusive to this set. I find the premise of a character who takes full advantage of the ability to change expression by rotating his head very interesting, and I hope that we will see a lot of him in the film. The Minifigure is not necessarily particularly engaging, but seems to be an accurate representation of his appearance in the LEGO Movie which is as much as one can expect.
He makes use of a new helmet, which is very slightly rubbery and cast in black with some white printing. The material actually makes it cling quite firmly to the head, and thus taking it off is a bit of struggle, but it softens once you have popped it on and off a few times. Bad Cop's head is of course printed on both sides, with his grimacing 'Bad Cop' face on one side, while his smiling 'Good Cop' face is on the other. He wears a pair of silver sunglasses on his evil face (which remind me a little of Kojak) and some simple spectacles on his good side, which is a nice contrast. His torso is printed on the front and back with some fairly standard Police uniform including various zips, a radio and the Super Secret Police badge, while his legs are plain black.
Bad Cop is equipped with an interesting accessory, one of the new firing guns which have also appeared in a few of the new Star Wars sets, although here in light bluish grey rather than black as elsewhere. I have to say I was not very impressed with these when news of their arrival first broke, as they are very bulky and look rather odd in the hands of a Minifigure. However in this instance, I quite like the gun as it will presumably appear in the film, and I am all for movie accuracy whenever possible. I think it is supposed to launch a homing device which then attaches to Emmet's leg (appearing in 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace) and the function works very well indeed, launching the 1 x 1 round plate with which it is loaded at least a metre if not even further.
The Build
As this is a fairly small set, the build only takes about half an hour and there are not many interesting techniques. I was impressed however with the construction of the Police speeder in particular as there are numerous instances of SNOT building and lots of curved shapes which are created using hinges. This may sound like a very basic technique, but these curves are so well integrated into the rest of the model that I cannot help but admire them. If you are looking for some good source material which might help you with constructing space and sci-fi related vehicles, this set might be a good place to start!
The Completed Model
As I have already mentioned, this was not a set which particularly caught my eye initially, but it is actually a lot of fun and has grown on me significantly. The pair of dark green Super Secret Police crocodiles are fun, thanks in no small part to the red and blue lights on top of them, and I am sure they will provide plenty of playability as well as being somewhat rare.
The railway bridge is also a nice inclusion, and contains a nice collapsing feature which works very well, allowing one to drop the end of the bridge or raise it again using a Technic pin which is controlled by pulling the red piece seen in the photo below. Underneath the railway bridge is a frog on a rock, and a pair of dark blue 2 x 8 plates which represent the water beneath. A couple more dark blue pieces would have been nice, but these are rare pieces having not appeared since 2008 in 10187 Volkswagen Beetle, and it is great even to get two.
Emmet can hold onto a handle at the end of the bridge to recreate a moment which is presumably in the film, where he is left dangling over the crocodile infested swamp after the bridge has collapsed. This collapsing feature works nicely and is not too intrusive due to how well it has been concealed underneath. I have to say I am a little confused about quite what the little aerial is at the foot of the bridge, I suppose it might be some debris which has fallen from a previous bridge collapse but it look a little out of place for me and I have in mind to remove it.
In case it was not obvious by now, I consider the Police Speeder to be the stand-out element of the set, and perhaps even the best vehicle in the entire LEGO Movie range. It is very nicely detailed and looks excellent from every angle, as well as simply feeling great in your hands due to its size and weight. The cockpit can be accessed by opening the top, which acts on a hinge, and inside is a steering wheel and plenty of room to seat Bad Cop. Behind the seat, one could easily place his gun, although it may rattle about a bit during play. On top of the canopy are some blue and red lights as well as a sticker with the code BC01, which presumably stands for Bad Cop 01 and to the rear is a spoiler and the thrusters which are nicely integrated with the bodywork of the model.
Under the bonnet of the speeder are some small guns which can flip out; there are more guns that can flip out on either side too. Both are very well concealed when retracted and are only visible from underneath, although even there they do not look out of place.
For me this is the surprise package of the LEGO Movie line so far. I think most people would agree that 70808 Super Cycle Chase (reviewed by DrDaveWatford) and 70809 Lord Business' Evil Lair were the most attractive sets at first, but I think the Police speeder challenges for the best vehicle of the series and this set is therefore well worth having.
The price is quite reasonable in my opinion and I highly recommend this set. The Minifigures are not especially appealing, although the set itself is excellent and the Bad Cop Minifigure should be popular as he looks to be playing a large role in the film.
Parts: 3 - There are few interesting parts in this set, although plenty of black and white which might be of use and of course those rare dark blue parts.
Playability: 5 - A swooshable vehicle and several fun features combine to provide a lot of playability, and I am sure the fact that this set recreates a chase scene will also add to the play value.
Building Experience: 4 - The Police speeder has quite an enjoyable build, but there are few notable techniques.
Value for Money: 4.5 - £24.99 is a perfect price as far as I am concerned, this is certainly good value for money.
Overall: 4.5 - For me, the Police speeder alone is enough to sell this set, and I do not think you will be disappointed if you do indeed decide to pick it up.

This set is really cool. :)
I think I might need it later on.
I know I'm broke, and I'm also saving all my money for something else, but you, sir, have painted an extremely attractive picture of this set. I haven't completely decided, but over the factor of getting Emmet, the Piece, the alligators, and the epic car I just might.
BTW, can you put in a bottom view of the car when its blasters and such are folded in?
Another great looking set. This definitely seems better than first appearances of the model and is one I want for the bridge and the car.
I have a sudden urge to watch Fifth Element.
Excellent review, you're really making me want this set now - especially for that awesome speeder and the dark green crocodiles whom I beloved haven't appeared since Agents.
I imagine that aerial is for Emmet to grab onto when he falls from the bridge, placing him dangerously close to the crocs. That's the scene I picture in my head, anyway. In terms of "what it's supposed to be", it's what's left of the third bridge support from back before the bridge was out. See how the spacing lines up almost perfectly with the other two supports?
Bad Cop is a very cool minifigure and looks like he'll be a hilarious character in the movie. I wonder if he'll appear in any of the summer sets like the police dropship.
That police speeder just looks like it should be flying around on Coruscant :-)
Great review as always. The speeder looks so sleek, and to retain these lovely curves while adding guns/lasers to the front and both sides is to me an extrordinary build, whiles also keeping the to the scale of a minifig police car. Unlike the SWAT car which is huge and seemingly unstopable, this is the speedy and agile bad-guy-chasing option.
I take my hat off to the designer of this one.......does anyone know who?
@Capnrex the debris is a part of a damaged bridge support, like the others in the set.
Love this set! I should do my chores so I can buy some...
@Aanchir and GuardianofAtlantis - I see it now, thanks. It is obvious when you say it but I did not spot it :o)
I think the speeder kind looks like something from STAR WARS
^ or Blade Runner?
When you said spoiler when referring to the ship, I thought you meant an actual spoiler about the film. Oops! I really do like Bad Cop's ship, though I do not care much for the track. Dunno whether I should pick it up or not. I'd rather get Lord Business' Evil Lair.
That car is going to be in my Star Wars Lego City.
A bit off topic, but the LEGO Movie Happy Meal toys have been revealed. CUPS! http://www.happymeal.com/en_US/index.html#/Toys
Funnily enough, upon first look, I loved this set, and thought the two you mentioned were 'meh.' Now, while I like the other two, I still prefer this one.
I like it. Going to have to pick up one of these, most likely.

Looking for a dazzling and unique art project? Here's one you've probably never done before. It's a new twist on painting that will add a little sparkle to any art project. Use a few kitchen ingredients to create a paint paste that glitters when dry and is easy to use. This nifty paint works well for school posters, but it's also great for making funky pieces of art to hang on the wall!
What You Need:
- Tempera paint
- Measuring cup
- Mixing bowls
- Spoons
- Flour (White, all-purpose)
- Salt
- Water
- Poster board
- Plastic squeeze bottles
What You Do:
- Have your child mix together equal amounts of flour, water and salt in a bowl to create a paint-like consistency.
- He can now pour equal amounts of this mixture into several bowls. Each bowl should contain a different color of paint.
- Encourage him to add a different color tempera paint to each bowl and mix it thoroughly.
- Help him pour each color into its own squeeze bottle, making sure the nozzles are replaced securely.

8 Anthems for About 12 Singers (Easy-to-Prepare Gospel Songs and Spirituals for SAB Choirs). Composed by Larry Pugh. For SAB choir and piano. Choral collection. Sacred Choral, General, Spiritual. Choral octavo. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.45-1168L).
Whether in a soulful jazz idiom, a rhythmic gospel style, or a more traditional setting, the emotive power of each of these eight anthems is palpable. That these selections speak to the heart on a very personal level is a credit to the rich source material and the craftsmanship of such choral luminaries as Lloyd Larson, Mary McDonald, Douglas E. Wagner, Linda Spevacek, John Purifoy, and Terry Kirkland. The titles range in difficulty from the very easy two-part mixed to the more challenging SSAB voicing and are, in total, a tremendous economic value for any choir that wishes to depict the strong, heartfelt commitment expressed in these moving arrangements.

The Republican-led U.S. House voted to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law, demonstrating party leaders' resolve to undo the president's main domestic-policy achievement.
The bill, H.R. 6079, passed on a vote of 244-185 yesterday, with five Democrats joining Republicans in favor of repeal. The vote represented the 33rd time House Republicans have voted to revoke all or parts of the 2010 health care law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The measure won't advance in the U.S. Senate, where Democrats hold the majority.
Unless Republicans win the presidency and gain the Senate majority next session, their attempts to repeal the law will go no further than the House.
The health-care law "is making our economy worse," House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said before the vote. "Americans want a step-by-step approach that protects the access to care that they need, from the doctor they choose at a lower cost."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said in a statement after the House vote that he will press for scrapping the law.
"I've already committed to making its repeal the first order of business in the Senate next year if I am the leader of the majority," McConnell said. "But in the meantime, I have filed a repeal amendment and will work to bring it up for a vote in the Senate."
Control of House
Democrats provided all of the votes to pass the health care overhaul, and they lost control of the House in November 2010. The House Democrats voting yesterday to scrap the law were Dan Boren of Oklahoma; Larry Kissell of North Carolina; Mike McIntyre of North Carolina; Jim Matheson of Utah and Mike Ross of Arkansas.
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 28 upheld the core of the health care law. The justices, voting 5-4, said Congress can require Americans to carry insurance or pay a penalty, which the court said was within lawmakers' constitutional power to tax.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in a floor speech that the 2010 law makes health care "a right, not a privilege for a few." She called the repeal provision a "bill to nowhere."
Later, in a Bloomberg Television interview, Pelosi said the renewed vote to repeal is "not different, just an additional waste of time." She rejected the notion that the health care overhaul may cost Democrats congressional seats in November as it did in 2010.
'Do a Job'
"We came here to do a job, not to hold a job," Pelosi said.
Michigan Republican Dave Camp criticized the health care law, saying "health care premiums are not going down as a result of this law, they are going in the other direction."
Camp, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the law contains an incentive for "employers to drop coverage because it's cheaper to pay the tax" than to pay insurance premiums.
In a column in yesterday's Washington Post, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius disputed Camp's contention about rising premiums. She said the share of small businesses offering employee health-care coverage has held steady at 59 percent since the law passed.
"This is another of their message weeks dedicated solely to the politics of their base," House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said of the Republican efforts.
Romney Booed
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, was booed yesterday when he told a convention of the NAACP in Houston that he would repeal the health-care law.
House Republicans had pledged to "repeal and replace" the overhaul. Now, Republican leaders have dropped the word "replace" from their promise.
The omission is the result of an election-year calculation: They figure they stand to gain from public distaste for the 2010 measure's central provision, the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance, and will lose if they start providing details about what they would do instead.
"They don't care to replace it," Ross Baker, a professor of American politics at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, said in a telephone interview. "They want to revert to the status quo. Whatever plan they have is going to end up alienating somebody, especially during a presidential campaign."
'The Big Thing'
The House won't pursue other major health-care legislation before the November election because "the big thing is going to be the election," Representative Wally Herger, a California Republican who leads the health subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee, said in an interview. "Everybody is looking to the election, everything is second fiddle to November."
Democrats used a procedural vote yesterday for a political message: to get Republicans on record as voting to protect their own taxpayer-financed health care benefits. A Democratic proposal, defeated on a mostly party-line vote of 248-180, would have forced any lawmaker who voted to repeal the health-care law to forfeit his or her federal health-care benefits.

In this advent season we find ourselves waiting, just waiting, of course, for Christmas. In downtown Chicago a giant Christmas tree was set up two days before Halloween, almost two months before Christmas. We Americans are not very good at waiting! By the way, many of us consider waiting a waste of time. We often say dont just sit there, get going doing something!
Patience! Patience! Thats just not a characteristic of most Americans. Patience is a virtue we admire in the driver behind us, but detest in the driver ahead of us. And in the doctors office our appointment winds up being an hour late so we leave in a hurry and end up running into a red light and then a traffic jam, only to have to wait again for a long coal train to pass by. Too long in waiting can cause stress and raise our blood pressure. Thank goodness the long-term advertising tells us we can have whatever we want NOW. So our waiting often becomes just a big wide space between where we really are and where we want to be NOW, or what we want to have NOW!
Here we need to note that in the Bible one of the big themes is waiting. Read the Psalms. Note how many times they speak about waiting. I wait for the Lord and I wait for the Lord all day long. And you can read that famous passage in Isaiah chapter 40: Those that wait for the Lord will renew their strength, they shall mount with wings likes eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not be faint. And almost all of the waiting in the Scriptures is when times are not good. So we go to church and sing again and again, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel.
At the end of His earthly life, Jesus tells His disciples to look forward to that which is to come, to wait, to anticipate the future. Keywords are to watch, stay awake, and be hopeful, looking for the complete fulfillment of the Child born in Bethlehem, looking for the reign of God. Heaven and earth shall have passed away and there will be a whole new creation, where under His rule there will be no tears, or pain, or death and we will know true joy with that Child that was born in Bethlehem, Christ our Lord and God.
Keep waiting! You will not be disappointed!

How to handle insecure men? Should you date insecure men? Insecurity in people is a topic that has cropped up around the office lately and caused a lot of debate. Is it okay to date insecure men? I say yes, it's fine, yet two female friends who work in the office with me say no way, they'll drain you of love and patience. In other words, they were saying they'll drive you nuts.
So how will they do this? One of the women said she was always having to explain herself; where she was, who she was meeting; even the fact that she had a bigger bank account. The other had similar things to say but added that in the end, the possessiveness and jealousy was a major factor in her "running for the hills".
So I did a little checking and found a great article at huffingtonpost.com about men with insecurities. To be honest, I can see how it can be a problem. But the question needs to be asked; is it better to date a narcissistic or a predator type of man (one who relies on you for everything without shame) over an insecure guy? At least you won't be worried about the insecure guy fooling around behind your back. Or would you?
No one would say that they set out to get into a relationship with an insecure man. However, that's exactly what many women do. In fact, an insecure man can be especially tempting to you, particularly if your last relationship was with a narcissistic man who was all about himself and not so interested in you, or a predatory man who was happy to let you support him. Viewed through the eyes of a woman who has been burned in a one of these relationships, an insecure man may seem sensitive and interested in you. In one way that it true: he is interested in the love you have to offer. But the insecure man can also be a bottomless pit that might just drain you of every drop of love you possess.
Why Insecurity Can Be Appealing
When she first met Adam, Grace thought that he was just shy and quiet. She had no idea that what she was seeing was severe insecurity. Adam was one type of insecure man — the underachiever. Though he had graduated from college and was employed as an engineer, Adam had never advanced very far. At work he always got evaluations that boiled down to "satisfactory" — in other words, far short of what was needed to get ahead.
Grace decided to commit to this relationship, after dating Adam for six months, in large part because he pursued her, and also because he came across as wanting the relationship very much. And unlike her previous two boyfriends, Adam at least had a steady job and was faithful to her. So when the lease on the condo that she was renting was up, Grace put her furniture in storage and moved in with Adam.
Six months later, things were far from rosy. It started with Adam finding fault with Grace: from the way she cooked and dressed to the way she spoke and the opinions she expressed…..

Do you know how to handle insecure men? Have you had good or bad experiences with men who display insecurity? What advice would you give other women who are in relationships or thinking about getting into relationships with insecure guys?
Women who come off bad relationships with narcissistic or predator types will often breathe a sigh of relief when they meet a guy with some insecurity. At the time, it seems like a bit of a relief. But the last two tips in the article which touch on not accepting responsibility for their insecurities and not altering your lifestyle make great sense.
Insecurity is an unattractive trait in either men or women. Clingy people come over as desperate and the truth is, people don't want to be "mothering" their partners. Needy behavior is something many people will shy away from. Men with clingy and needy behavior are talked about in the following video. There are some solid tips there.

If you have feedback to share we'd love to hear it. To be honest, men who act insecurely often are just trying to do the right thing but don't seem to realize the behavior comes over as odd. I'm sure if people realize how they are acting that they would do something to change it. Do you agree?

The shaving soap for men is an easy-to-use product (I simply rubbed it into my beard, which I had wet, and foamed it up a little by hand). It doesn't foam up a great deal, but I quite like that. It has a lovely, gentle lavendar scent, and the shaver glides through it beautifully. My skin was lovely and smooth, but felt a little tight afterwards. This was easily remedied with a light moisturiser.

We are telling the story of the discovery of prostate cancer because we have lived it. It is woven into the fabric of our laboratories, our clinics, and our operating rooms. Discovery after discovery, based on observations and teaching by the people who have been at the forefront of this disease for nearly a century. I hope you will see this issue of Discovery as part of a continuum, a timeline of progress and hope. I also hope that you will be as excited as we are about our beautiful new hospital floor. I truly believe that there is nothing like it anywhere in the world. The whole space was designed, with ideas from patients, doctors and nurses, to be a place for healing. It would not have been possible without a very generous gift from Christina and Robert C. Baker, and this brings me to our amazing patients. We are so blessed that the people who come to us for treatment, who could easily be forgiven for turning inward during a difficult time, instead reach outward. On the back cover is the story of John McDonald, who has devoted his life to raising money to help other people fighting cancer. Patients giving back, helping other patients, and helping us care for them. To me, that's the best story of all.

I can't agree more with the previous reviewer. This is the WORST pencil sharpener ever. The parts holding the sharpeners are loose, so the pencil twists the sharpeners against the casing as you try and sharpen them. It also doesn't sharpen very effectively. You get half sharpened pencils and breakage. I wish I could find a sharpener to take its place. I didn't find any drugstore sharpeners and the Sephora duo sharpener doesn't work either. In the meantime I have to use Mustique sparingly - and it's so lovely!
More reviews by storybookheroine
This does not come boxed like most Becca products, instead it was in a cheap plastic thing that does not protect it at all. It's a double ended sharpener, big side for eye liner, small for lip liner and opens in the center to empty. My first one came and the two pieces would not stay together so a mess in my makeup drawer was sure to follow. I called Sephora and they said this was not normal and they sent me another one that was still not great but it did not fall open as easy. When I used this POS on my Mustique liner it felt very grabby and not smooth like the NARS sharpener I had been using. When I pulled the liner one it had eaten up 25% of my pencil! I was so mad. Yes it did give more of a semi pointed tip than the NARS but this was not right. I tried the broken one I was sending back with the same results. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS OVERPRICED AND DAMAGING PRODUCT!!!!!!! You will be very unhappy to with the results. I called my friend who had purchased one as well and was too late to warn her, it ate her Mustique liner too. Just pass on this. Terrible, terrible product.
UPDATE- Becca is remaking their sharpener and will come out with a replacement product at some point.

The end of fashion week finds most celebrities with a weary sense of fatigue and a growing disdain for flashbulbs. Not Charlize Theron.
Unaffected by the overabundance of parties, fleeing paparazzi (overbooked for the evening with other red-carpet affairs) and the overall strain of a packed fashion week, Theron glowed in a blue one-shouldered Givenchy dress with white zip-up Givenchy heels at the Wednesday night New York screening of her new film, "The Burning Plain." The star grasped a small black Bottega Veneta clutch as she grappled for the designer of her gold and diamond hoop earrings. "Fred..." she said, searching. "Leighton! Fred Leighton! Sorry. First name basis, me and Fred."
Theron admitted she was not particularly bothered, or interested, in the happenings going on in Bryant Park. "Shows? I went to see my friends at Rag and Bone — it was amazing. That's the only one I went to."
The actress explained that she was not in New York for the sartorial celebrations after all, but for more sporting endeavors. "I was here for the tennis," Theron winked. "This is the week that we're really promoting the film. And fashion week is way over, right? Oh it's not? Well last week I was here for the US Open. I was enthralled in the tennis."
Notably absent at the Skyy Vodka sponsored after party at The Box, perhaps the star had decided to practice her forehand instead.

Hundreds milled about a room that was skirted by 100 bras up for auction — enough to support 200 breasts as well as breast cancer research.
The customized undergarments appealed to a wide range of tastes…
Some women enjoyed the lacy bras. Others liked the fuzzy ones. But the rare ladies who prefer twin plungers or soda cans were in luck at the inaugural "Bras for a Cause."
Minimum bids for the bras bounced from a standard $20 to $1,800 for one adorned with collector Disney pins. The funds would be split two ways, between the Soroptimists' breast cancer fund and the Sheila R. Veiloz Breast Imaging Center.
"I think it's a very good idea," said Tracy Gallegos, 34, of Valencia. "There are so many fund-raisers you can go to, so you need to find something unique and different."
"And I can bring home some bras," she said.
Valencia resident Eric Stroh, 40, examined a fuzzy, white bra with his wife, Jacque. He was among the outnumbered men at the event.

HELP- I just repalced the main and worm gear on my Craftsman chain chain drive opener. Model 13953637SRT. Following all of the instructions until instruction #4. Run the opener until the sprocket has completed a clockwise cycle. The Cycle is only 1 second and then reverses counter clockwise for 1 second and quits. I have checked and adjsuted the up and down travel controls and the up and down force limits. Is there another part that may have gone bad?
I went ahead and hooked up my chain and the hooked the door to the trolley. The opener trys to close the door when it is already closed. Right now the chain is disconnected and my cars are outside. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you remove the black plastic interruptor cup from the shaft of the motor and forget to reinstall it? There is also a quick disconnect with four wires that plugs into the small printed circuit board by the interruptor cup. Make sure it is pushed on completely. |

The Haroshi Nike Dunk sneakers are a very artistic and creative pair of shoes decked out in colorful rainbow stripes and specially-made features.
These sneakers are actually made from decks belonging to skaters from Nike's own pro skate team. Hidden messages are found within the art (under x-ray scanning you can see "Sole in soul" right underneath the shoe). The Haroshi Nike Dunk sneakers are definitely an exclusive pair of shoes that would get you some added street cred.

That's what I call these cookies that have a melted hard candy center. I make them every year but this time I'm going to show you how to make them too.
Any hard candy that is red.
Pulverize the candy to a powder.
I use my Cuisinart Mini Mate Chopper. It does a fabulous job in a few pulses.
Spoon the candy powder into a cutout space you've made in your cookie from a smaller heart.
My cookie recipe bakes at 375 which is hot enough to melt the candy during baking time. I specifically don't use a lower temp. convection setting to bake them. The temperature has to be hot enough to get the job done before the cookies burn.
I use a Silpat baking sheet liner so the cookie comes right off.

Then again, what normal, red-blooded American female could have resisted the "Girls with Guns Getaway" package at the Teton Ridge Ranch in Idaho?Women, either singly or in groups of "high-caliber girlfriends," were invited to come blow their troubles away on the ranch's clay-pigeon range (shotgun lessons included if necessary) before repairing each evening to the ranch's Great Room for a sumptuous three-course meal and, presumably, a long, weepy, mutually supportive conversation about how great men are and how much of a shame it is they couldn't come.
So far, so delightful. But there is more than mere whimsy propelling the rise and rise of these offbeat packages.
There is the mounting threat of "commoditization," for one thing. It may not be a vivid or melodious term; Karl Marx himself would probably have to bite back a yawn, but it's commoditization that's apparently keeping modern hoteliers up at night when it isn't haunting their dreams. Thanks to the recent lurch forward in information technology, consumers have exponentially more hotel choices at their fingertips, and a precise picture of what each and every one of them charges for a room, with the result that it's more difficult than ever for a hotel to stand out, except by being a "better deal." The solution, apparently (according to various grim, jargony industry newsletters this correspondent has dutifully waded through), is the adoption of a "de-commoditization strategy." In addition to offering extra perks and services, hotels are actively—though subliminally—trying to challenge the idea that what they provide is just another product. Hence all the new playfulness and creativity.
The wacky package can be a powerful weapon in the battle for customers. It's no coincidence that many of the packages mentioned in this article won't be available by the time you read these words. The more often a package deal quietly expires, the more often a new one can be born to deafening fanfare. In a word, package deals are news: a new package deal costs a hotel essentially nothing—a few dozen copies of The Orchid Thief, say, or a gross of cryptic little boxes from a failing ceramicist—and yet justifies the dissemination of a press release. If the package is quirky enough, the press release punchy enough, this can really pay off. The "Britney Breakdown" package, for instance, became the subject of its very own item in USA Today, which is how I found out about it, and hey, now you've found out about it. All for the cost to Personality Hotels of a few lace thongs and some bottled water they probably had lying around anyway.
Which is not to suggest that package deals are scams. Far from it. Nobody signs up for the "Britney Breakdown" package because they're thirsty and they could use some new underwear. What's for sale, instead, is an idea.
And I, for one, am grateful. I'm not saying "Kylie—The Exhibition" was entirely without merit; nothing's entirely without merit. However, as I stood there at the museum, studying the clothing on a five-foot-tall mannequin, knowing that soon I would shuffle to one side and study the clothing on another mannequin, it was a source of some comfort to know the experience was part of a package of experiences. We gauge our vacations by the strength of the memories they leave us with. The Egerton was memorably comfortable; the exhibition of Kylie Minogue's clothing was memorably dire; but on its own, neither experience would imprint on me anything near the vividness and longevity with which I would retain the memory of the package as a whole. How many people can say they spent a Kylie Minogue–themed weekend in London?Very, very few. How many can go further and say that as a result of that weekend, they have a small ceramic box that contains, in a transcendently subtle fashion, the very essence of Minogue?
None, as it turns out.

Help Choose Allure of the Seas' Star Chef
(12 p.m. EDT) -- Following a format that's been made popular by hit shows including "The Next Food Network Star" and Gordon Ramsay's "Hell's Kitchen" (which airs on Fox),
Royal Caribbean
has announced the start of the "Allure of the Seas Culinary Challenge," a contest to find the Chef de Cuisine for the ship's 150 Central Park, the most haute restaurant in the Oasis class -- and you can be a part of it.
Rather than having company executives select the head chef, as they did with Keriann Von Raesfeld -- the up-and-comer who oversees the same venue onboard sister ship
Oasis of the Seas
-- Royal Caribbean is jumping on the culinary competition bandwagon and partnering with the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to attract the most qualified candidate to run the restaurant aboard
Allure of the Seas
, debuting in December.
Chefs that have attained either a Bachelor's or Associate's degree from CIA are eligible to enter. Entrants must create an original recipe (which may end up on the menu at 150 Central Park) and submit a video that demonstrates the preparation of the recipe. The video must also detail why he or she should win the competition -- and the one-year contract that comes along with the job title.
According to a statement from the cruise line, 10 semifinalists will be chosen at the end of the entry period, at which point their videos will be posted to the
contest Web site
. Here's where you come in: From June 28, 2010, through July 11, 2010, the public will have the opportunity to watch each video and vote for their favorite chef (bonus: registered voters will also be entered into a drawing to win a trip for two onboard Allure of the Seas' preview sailing in November).
The five chefs that receive the most votes -- plus one additional chef chosen by the judges -- will move on and compete in a cook-off/interview in New York. Judges from Royal Caribbean and CIA will then choose the winner based on their creation and preparation of a three-course menu and their interview responses.
The entire competition will be chronicled in a series of webisodes that will be broadcasted on the
Allure of the Seas Web site
Interestingly, 150 Central Park levies the highest cover charge in the industry -- $35 per person -- but Editor in Chief Carolyn Spencer Brown, in her review of Oasis of the Seas, says the cost did not stop people from begging for reservations at the eatery.
We want to know: Will having a contest-winning chef at the helm make you more likely to dine at 150 Central Park? And will you vote online for Allure's Chef de Cuisine?

Immigrant Integration
Immigrant Integration
Recent Activity
Recent Activity
This discussion covers some of the most difficult issues that must be addressed if the United States is to reform its immigration system in ways that work not only for today's reality but tomorrow's future.
This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
Finding some of the deepest anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe within German public opinion, this report explores the relationship between German national identity and immigration. It provides an overview of demographics, trends, and current debates, with recommendation on how to challenge prevailing stereotypes of Muslims and ensure equal outcomes for immigrants and their descendants.
This report examines how a parent's unauthorized status affects child development. Based on a review of existing research that increasingly points to negative developmental consequences of parental unauthorized status across all stages of childhood, the authors explore possible options for policies and programs that could mitigate these risks, and propose ways to achieve this goal within the framework of proposed comprehensive immigration reform.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.

In "Toolbox of Faith," a Tapestry of Faith program
To help participants become familiar with using the power of a hammer efficiently and safely, invite them to practice pounding nails into wood. Suggest they try a variety of ways of hammering, free form, at first. Often those inexperienced with using a hammer will hold one close to the head and use their wrist to pound. Teach the group the way that carpenters use hammers to get the best and most efficient effect from the power of the hammer and the power of the arm:
Hold the hammer at the end of the handle to take advantage of the hammer head's weight when you strike the nail. By holding at the furthest end from the hammer head, the hammer becomes a lever, which gives it — and you — more power.
Invite participants to feel the difference between hammering by holding the hammer close to the hammer head, and then holding the hammer farther down the handle. Offer these suggestions:

Maps, atlases and gazetteers
This page gives information about our physical map collections. For online sources see Digital maps and geographical data.
The maps held in the Library cover nearly all parts of the world, but with a special emphasis on the British Isles and Europe. Most maps are modern (post 1945), the only significant historical material being Ordnance Survey mapping from the early 19th century onwards.
The collection contains both topographic (general purpose) and thematic (special purpose) maps. Ordnance Survey topographic maps of Great Britain at scales of 1:50 000 and 1:25 000 and of Ireland at 1:50 000 are regularly updated. Much of Europe and parts of Africa and the Caribbean are covered at 1:50 000 scale, while elsewhere, best cover is more usually at scales of 1:250 000 or 1:1 000 000. Thematic maps include maps of geology, soils and land cover. Whilst thematic holdings of Great Britain are comprehensive, holdings of the rest of the world are selective and patchy.
Use the catalogue to find out what we have in stock, although some pre-1993 maps may only be listed in the Maps Card Catalogue on the 2nd Floor of the Library. For more information about searching for maps on Enterprise, see our guide to Finding maps and the Detailed guide to finding maps.
Ordnance Survey data can be accessed for academic use via Digimap. For other online sources see Digital maps and geographical data.
If you need any help, contact Judith Fox, the Map Librarian.
The atlas collection includes world, regional, national and thematic atlases.
General and historical atlases can be found at the Call Numbers 911 and 912 in the relevant sequence depending on size. A few can also be found in the Ground and 4th Floor Reference sections, and in the Map Reference section on the 2nd Floor.
Thematic atlases are kept with other material on the same subject.
Search Enterprise to find out what we have in stock (include the word "atlases" in your search or refine by 'Atlas').
Gazetteers are lists of geographical features, usually place names, political or administrative divisions and physical features. Most gazetteers are on the 4th Floor, although a few general ones will be found in the Ground Floor Reference Collection and in the Map Reference section on the 2nd Floor.
Search Enterprise to find out what we have in stock (include the word "gazetteers" in your search).
Freely available online gazetteers are listed in the Gazetteers section of the Maps and GIS: useful websites guide.
Air photographs
This collection includes both black-and-white, and true and false colour prints. Cover is mostly in the UK. Complete cover of Berkshire is held for 1976, 1981, 1986 and 1991, the last two sets in colour. Some foreign cover is held, notably of Norway, Italy, Morocco and Tunisia. Topcon mirror stereoscopes are available for viewing the photographs stereoscopically.
To consult this collection contact the Map Librarian, Judith Fox - indicate the geographical area you are interested in and the date.

State lawmakers cannot legally fix to what some contend is a flaw in Arizona's new minimum wage law, Gov. Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.
The governor said a voterapproved measure mandating a $6.75-an-hour minimum wage contains no exception for the developmentally disabled — and, more to the point, for the training centers that employ them.
These organizations, considered transitional job centers, have an exemption under the federal minimum wage law.
That's the law which has been in effect in Arizona but will be replaced Jan. 1 when the provisions of Proposition 202 take effect.
Some have suggested the gap could be fixed by state lawmakers meeting in special session, if not before the end of the year then immediately afterward.
"A special session, I don't think, works in part because this was a voter-approved initiative," Napolitano said.
A constitutional provision approved by voters in 1998 specifically prohibited lawmakers from tinkering with future voter-approved ballot measures unless the change "furthers the purpose of the initiative."
Rebekah Friend, president of the state AFL-CIO, told Capitol Media Services the issue of exceptions for disabled never came up when her organization was involved in crafting Proposition 202. But Friend said she doesn't see the need for the exception.
"We do believe that workers should make minimum wage and they should be entitled to the new minimum wage," she said.
Bev Hermon, who lobbies for the Arizona Association of Providers for People with Disabilities, said that is a worthwhile goal.
But Hermon said not everyone is capable of the same work, which is why Congress approved the "commensurate wage" exception to the law.
"It's based on productivity," she said. "Never did it occur to me that federal law wouldn't supersede state law."
