The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson, Amanda VanAllen and JP Lawrence
ABC News' Abby D. Phillip : "Obama Honors Fallen Troops, Looks to the War's End on Memorial Day." In a solemn ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama today called on Americans to never forget the sacrifice of soldiers who served in harm's way and died for their fellow countrymen. "America stands at a crossroads, but even as we turn a page on a decade of conflict, even as we look forward, let us never forget as we gather here today that our nation is still at war," Obama said. The president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, a monument that commemorates soldiers killed in U.S. wars whose remains have never been identified. LINK
Politico's Kevin Robillard: "President Obama in Memorial Day speech: Don't forget those serving" President Barack Obama reminded Americans on Monday not to forget the soldiers still fighting in Afghanistan during a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery. "Regardless of reason, this truth cannot be ignored that today most Americans are not directly touched by war," Obama told a crowd gathered at the cemetery's amphitheater. "As a consequence, not all Americans may always see or fully grasp the depths of sacrifice, the profound costs that are made in our name, right now, as we speak, every day." LINK
The Hill's Jeremy Herb: "Fewer drone strikes likely result of new Obama policy, analysts say" President Obama's new guidelines on drone strikes abroad are likely to curtail the number of attacks the United States carries out, according to defense experts. The White House's codified policy signed by the president this week requires a "continuing, imminent" threat before terrorists are targeted. The directive also requires "near-certainty" that civilians will not be harmed in the strike. LINK
SYRIA / JOHN McCAIN:
ABC News' Abby D. Phillip: "Sen. McCain Slips Into Syria, Meets With Rebels" Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has crossed the Syrian border to meet with rebel forces today, ABC News has confirmed. McCain, one of the strongest critics of President Obama's handling of the bloody two-year old conflict between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and rebel forces, is the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Syria since the civil war began. The trip was first reported by The Daily Beast's Josh Rogin. McCain traveled across the border from Turkey to Syria with Gen. Salem Idris, leader of the rebel forces known as the Supreme Military Command. Idris has become the principal interlocutor between the international community and the highly localized Syrian rebel movement. LINK
The Washington Times' Cheryl Wetzstein: "In secret trip to Syria, McCain hears rebels' pleas for help" As international discussions on Syria's civil war loom, Sen. John McCain, an open critic of the Obama administration's approach to the civil war, on Monday became the highest-ranking U.S. official to slip into Syria and meet with the forces seeking to overthrow the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. In a surprise visit, the Arizona Republican and former presidential candidate entered war-torn Syria through Turkey and participated in a meeting with leaders of the Free Syrian Army. LINK
The New York Times' Peter Baker: "In Terror Shift, Obama Took a Long Path" The pivot in counterterrorism policy that President Obama announced last week was nearly two years in the making, but perhaps the most critical moment came last spring during a White House meeting as he talked about the future of the nation's long-running terrorism war. Underlying the discussion was a simple fact: It was an election year. And Mr. Obama might lose. LINK
The Washington Post's David Nakamura: "Conservatives stymied in attempts to weaken immigration reform law" Over the past three weeks, Sen. Jeff Sessions tried everything he could to blow up a comprehensive immigration bill. The Alabama Republican offered 17 amendments, championed the concerns of border-enforcement employee unions and decried the cost to taxpayers. LINK
Bloomberg's Alex Nussbaum: "Obamacare Unveiled as California With New York Lead U.S." While politicians in Washington argue over the Affordable Care Act, its ultimate fate is being decided far from Capitol Hill. Amid the periodic repeal votes in Congress and activist campaigns on both sides of the debate, states from New York to California are striving to meet an Oct. 1 deadline to implement the heart of the health-care law, the online insurance "exchanges" meant to enroll millions of Americans. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Wes Venteicher: "Postal Service is on its last legs, with little help in sight" With a wide grin and a quick step, letter carrier Kenny Clark brings more than the day's mail to the people on his route in suburban Maryland. Clark, 49, greets nearly everyone he sees by name. He puts packages under eaves on overcast days to keep them dry, reminds people to retrieve keys they might have left in keyholes, and shouts a quick "You OK?" at the doors of seniors. "He's a neighborhood icon — him and his truck," said Amy Dick, who lives on Clark's route. LINK
The New York Daily News' Rich Schapiro, Tina Moore and Jonathan Lemire: "Next NYC Mayor facing $7.8B fiscal cliff from unions who haven't received a raise in years" Be warned, New York: The next mayor will face an epic challenge in protecting you from paying a whole lot more to get a whole lot less. On Inauguration Day, Jan. 1, Michael Bloomberg's successor will confront huge unpaid bills that will require dramatically raising taxes, slashing spending, or both. Failure could well mean everything from fewer cops on the street to fewer teachers in classrooms — and a New York that is even less affordable for the middle and working classes. Simply put, New York's quality of life is hanging in the balance. LINK
The Boston Globe's Matt Viser: "All sides pressing John Kerry on pipeline" Secretary of State John Kerry, who for much of his career has been viewed as a top ally to environmentalists, is now being looked at warily as many of his former brethren worry that he may commit an act of utmost betrayal: approve the Keystone pipeline. LINK
USA Today's Martha T. Moore and Aamer Madhani: "Is Obama at war with journalists?" The rift between the White House and the media is palpable in the wake of revelations that the Justice Department secretly obtained journalists' phone records while investigating media leaks. Reporters have battled with both Republican and Democratic administrations on matters of government secrecy. In the wake of the Justice Department's actions, President Obama finds himself battling charges that his administration has effectively launched a war on journalists. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Amy Schatz: "States Raise College Budgets After Years of Deep Cuts." After cutting spending on public colleges and universities during the economic crisis, many state governments have begun to boost higher-education budgets once again. Lawmakers in Indiana recently approved a $500 million funding increase over two years for state colleges and universities, a 14.6% increase, following four years of cuts. New Hampshire's governor has proposed increasing the university budget for the coming academic year by $20 million, or 37%. And state lawmakers in Florida recently approved a budget that increases higher-education funding by $314 million, or 8.3%, following seven years of cuts. LINK

Kulala Desert Lodge
Sleep Under the Desert Stars
Kulala Desert Lodge is located within the arid Namib Desert on the 91,500 acre private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, and is closest to the iconic dunes of the Sossusvlei. Accommodation at Kulala Desert Lodge comprises 25 thatched and canvas "kulalas" ("to sleep" in Oshiwambo) with en-suite bathrooms and verandas. This includes three family tents which can accommodate two adults and two children. Each unit is built on a wooden platform to catch the cooling breezes and has a deck on the flat rooftop where bedrolls are placed for guests to sleep under the myriad stars that Namibia's clear skies portray. Kulala Desert Lodge has a main area, lounge, bar, dining area, plunge pool, and wrap-around veranda overlooking the waterhole - a perfect location to view and photograph the desert vista. The overall setting is a true delight to the senses, bringing together the rhythm of Namibia, wholesome meals and intimacy. A waterhole in front of camp attracts a number of local wildlife (such as gemsbok, springbok, ostriches and jackals) and provides a perfect location to view and photograph the desert scenery. Activities at Kulala Desert Lodge revolve around early morning guided nature drives to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei through the private gate on the Tsauchab River. World-famous Sossusvlei is an enormous clay pan, flanked by the famous sand dunes that stand out starkly against the blue sky and flush red in the early morning sun. These dunes have developed over millions of years, the wind continuously transforming the contours of this red sand sea. The 'vlei' itself only fills after rare, heavy rainfalls when, in a complete turn-around, it becomes a spectacular turquoise lake. Nature drives, walks and eco-sensitive, guided quad-biking are also offered through the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve to take in those incredible views and to catch a glimpse of the denizens of the desert. Another option, at an extra cost, is early morning hot-air ballooning, beginning at first light. The balloon safari offers a truly unique experience to soar silently above the magnificent sand dunes and desert, with a champagne breakfast being served at your landing site.

Six Countries Summer Special
01 Nov 14 - 31 Mar 15
Ever increasing in popularity, the summer months in Southern Africa (November – March) offer a different safari experience as short showers green the dry grasslands and clean the bright blue skies. Photographers delight in the clear light, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and rare bird sightings. Because the resident wildlife disperses to many abundant water sources, you may have to work a bit harder to see the animals, but you will have the added benefit of seeing many babies who arrive at this time of year. … read more

Photographer Andrew Holbrooke captured a starving girl pulling at her brother's robe at a Somali feeding station in 1992. Click through the gallery to see a selection of some of LIFE's most powerful images.Hide Caption 1 of 13The power of a still image 13 photosThe power of a still image – Robert F.

(How did the photographer, Yousuf Karsh, get that iconic pose from Churchill, Britain's prime minister, in 1941? Churchill told Karsh that he had very little time for the session. Karsh reached over and took Churchill's cigar from him -- then, as Churchill reacted, snapped the photo.) Marilyn Monroe, at her most beautiful in 1953, leans back, wearing white slacks and a black sweater, and gazes off dreamily to her right. Somehow, even though being photographed for a national magazine, she appears supremely relaxed and right at home. Why? She was at home -- she knew that the photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and the magazine, Life, would do right by her, and she had invited them in. Prisoners at the Buchenwald concentration camp in 1945, their faces haunted, their bodies gaunt, their eyes showing nothing and everything, look out from behind the wire fence that imprisons them, just before they are liberated. How did Margaret Bourke-White happen to be there to shoot that photo? Gen. George Patton wanted the world to see why his soldiers were fighting. Patton understood that Bourke-White and her magazine -- Life -- were the best way for the world to witness and understand. All these photos and hundreds more are in a book called "75 Years: The Very Best of Life." It was published just before the holidays; I bought copies for friends around the country, and all of them have told me the same thing: They are spending hours with it, looking for long minutes at individual photos, treasuring the talent of the photographers, many long dead.View the recently launched CNN Photos blog It is the photographers that I keep thinking about as I have spent my own hours and days with the book. To be a Life staff photographer meant that you were among the best in the world. Professional news photographers, even the most highly regarded of them, find themselves in tenuous times today; it is expensive to have them on staff and to send them places to do their work. There is always going to be someone with a camera around to snap a close-to-good-enough image and sell it inexpensively or give it away. So to linger over the photos in the Life 75th anniversary book -- it is a very large book, because Life's pages were large by design, for maximum impact -- is to marvel at the commitment the magazine made, especially in the days before television, to do whatever was necessary to bring the world to its readers. And to spend time with those images is to honor the talent and courage of the photographers whose best work is on the level of fine art -- fine art produced as the deadline clock is ticking. They were there. They seemed always to be there, at the moments that mattered. Larry Burrows in Vietnam in 1966 as Marine Sgt. Jeremiah Purdie, grievously wounded, reaches for a comrade who is also hurt; Ralph Morse virtually living with the first astronauts, capturing Alan Shepard, in 1961, running toward the Redstone rocket booster that will propel him toward space; Bill Eppridge at Robert Kennedy's side in that California hotel kitchen in 1968, somehow, in the anguished confusion, getting the shattering photograph of busboy Juan Romero who is down on the floor with Kennedy, trying to comfort the dying senator. . . . W. Eugene Smith in 1948 with Dr. Ernest Ceriani, the country doctor who was the subject of one of the most famous photo essays ever published, as Ceriani, on the edge of exhaustion, wearily holds a cup of coffee; Gordon Parks in Rio de Janeiro in 1961, paying tribute to the heartbreaking life of 12-year-old Flavio Da Silva, a boy who is malnourished and ill but who must care for his brothers and sisters; Eisenstaedt in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945, with the impossible task of trying to sum up in a single shot the nation's joy as the war ends, and doing so with that photo of photos: the sailor and the nurse. . . . Life featured words, too, of course, but it was the photographers who were the stars. During my own tenure as Life's columnist, my first assignment took me to rural Kentucky with the Everly Brothers, as the singers returned to their late father's home. I was glad to be in the company of Don and Phil Everly, but the real thrill came from the days spent on the road with the great Life photographer Harry Benson. I kept looking over at him. So this is Harry Benson. So this is how he works. I didn't want to miss or forget a moment of it. I should mention that Life and CNN reside under the same corporate roof. But I fell in love with Life long before there was such a thing as CNN; Life brought the world to my parents' Ohio home, and when the mailman delivered it each week, he was bringing us more than just a magazine. He was bringing us . . . Well, he was bringing us life. Life observed with as much skill and guts and heart as those photographers could push themselves to produce. Life, as a regularly scheduled magazine, is no more; it continues as a series of single-topic issues and special books, and its photography is featured on its popular website. But the Life that was read in America's homes each week, and then, later, each month, is gone. "I can't stop looking at that book," Gary Griffin, one of the friends to whom I gave copies, told me on the phone from California the other night. Me, either. Jackie Robinson rounds third base in the 1955 World Series, the expression on his face the stuff of novels, and Ralph Morse freezes it in time and gives us the chills all these years later. Man, oh man. That was the life.

This was a request from ZetsumeiYaumi. I just figured out how to submit writing off my iPod haha!! Anyway enough babbling no one reads these things at the top anyway. On to the story!! * superman pose, sorry superwoman pose*
Your ankles were swollen, your feet were killing you and you wanted to kill the Prussian that dragged you out shopping. If you haven't gathered you were 9 months pregnant and due any day now. Prussia had wandered off to flirt with some girls so you decided to wander off back home to see the father of your child.
You walked in the front door and put the keys on the side . ' Germany, I'm back. But I left your big brother in the
Mall ' Germany walked in and hugged you ever so carefully.
' I don't blame you really... He can be a douche at times' Germany rested his hands on the bump on your stomach and rolled your eyes.
' can be? Prussia is a douche ' You both laughed until all the countries popped up and yelled ' SURPRISE' including your brother in law Prussia . how he got home before you was magic!! It was a baby shower, you just smiles and greeted all your friends.
' Germany where's feli?' you asked him, slightly upset that your best friend wasn't there.
' FRATELLO DON'T KILL ME PLEASEEE IMJUSTAPOORVIRGINYOUKNOWHOWPATHETICWE RE!' ah, there he is. Before you could tell Germany to go an help him, Italy ran through the door holding a massive box with a red bow on it. He was followed by a fuming Romano.
' Hi ragazza. You look great, ah your-a so big-a now, how long will it be?' Italy laughed and began talking with your stomach while Germany went to Kill Prussia for letting you go home so easily . Italy then stood up a little panicked.
' uh Germany someone-a, spilt-a glass of water''
Your eyes widen and yelled out ' IT'S NOT WATER IT'S ME!'
Germany ran back into the room but he was in socks so he slipped on the wooden floor but he proceeded to stand up .
Italy ran around like a headless chicken while everyone else panicked.
You were now really annoyed with everyone and grabbed Germany by his collar ' GET ME TO TJE HOSPITAL' He looked at you and said the most stupid thing ever.
' what now?!! Can't you hold it In?!' You shot him a glare that was
Mean enough to destroy a whole city. Germany got the message and lead you to the car.
' FELICIANO !' You managed to yell out the window and the love-able, all be it, clumsy italian ran out the door and to your side in he car. ' what is it ragazza?'
You looked at Germany and he nodded which made you smile ' we want you there for the birth, we want you tO be the godfather ' Italy smiled and jumped in the back with you. ' of course bella' he held himself hand out for you to hold, the poor Italian had every little bone in his hand broken by the time you guys reached the hospital.

Much has been said about the amazing rookie year of 21 year old Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim outfielder Mike Trout but in all of the publicity about the young player, there seems to be a lack of coverage for the other players on the team. They're just as important to the team's currently successful season and there are many candidates to pick from who is the most valuable player besides Trout. Before Trout arrived for good in the big leagues this season, the consensus best player on the Angels was perennial All-Star Albert Pujols and he's certainly done an amazing job recently, he went through a long slump in the beginning of the season, leaving the race wide open to who would be "the man". With Trout having one of the most amazing seasons in baseball season (even more so when you recognize that he just turned 21), there's probably no chance that the Angels would be doing as well as they are without him. Due to the team's bullpen failures of late, without Trout, this team would almost definitely be a below .500 team and one of the biggest disappointments in all of baseball.
There are many more players in the mix for who it can be said that they're having the best season on the team besides the star rookie, including Mark Trumbo, Jered Weaver, Albert Pujols and Torii Hunter. Coming into the 2012 season, rumors about an impending trade of Trumbo were running wild with 1B Kendrys Morales returning from injury. Little did we know then, Mark Trumbo has had a sophomore season for the ages with a very respectable 3.0 WAR, a .574 SLG percentage, 29 Home Runs and 73 RBI. The reason why he was included in so many trade rumors is because of concerns over where he would play. Thankfully, he's found his spot in the outfield and he's had an amazing season so far that shows no real sign of slowing down. Trumbo will definitely not contend for a Gold Glove but at the same time, he's making up for his mistakes on the fielding side of the ball with his bat. With 320.1 innings played, his main position is left field. He has a -1.6 UZR and while that's certainly not good, it's nowhere near as bad as it could have been. In his short stint at third base, he had a -2.5 UZR in 63 innings and it seemed like there simply wouldn't be a place for him to make the easy plays and smash the ball at the plate. Thankfully, that is not the case and the outfield certainly seems like the home for the man who hits the Trumbombs. The main case against Trumbo is obviously his fielding but with how he has hit this season, it's almost become something of a distant thought when he's showing enormous potential and doing fantastically for himself.
All-Star SP Jered Weaver has had a marvelous season in all facets of pitching, when you look at every single statistic that is readily available. For the basic look at things, he has a 15-1 win/loss record and a 2.13 ERA, stats that could very well win him the Cy Young Award. His closest competition would have to be Detroit Tigers All-Star SP Justin Verlander but when it comes to awarding a single player with the same year two seasons in a row, it's not as likely as one would think. A pitcher can be dominant for years but all signs point to Weaver winning the Cy Young Award this season if he can continue what he's been doing for months. When you dig deeper into what makes Weaver a special pitcher at a special time in his career, he has a 3.1 WAR, a 6.94 K/9 and the lowest walks per 9 innings percentage of all starting pitchers on the team with a stunning 1.85 rate. Just like the argument in 2011 against Verlander, it's tough to give someone the MVP award when they only play every five days. Still though, I personally shudder to think where this team would be without Weaver, it could be absolutely disastrous and most likely would be. When it comes to pitching, Weaver has been the only constant for the team in 2012 and if there was ever a year where a pitcher was our second most valuable player, this could be it.
The All-Star million dollar man and holder of huge expectations, Albert Pujols started the season off on an atrocious note but has been one of the best players in all of baseball after the All-Star Break and quite frankly, before it as well. He's been on a massive power surge as of late and his recent outings have left him with 24 Home Runs and a .523 SLG percentage. In the other facets of statistics, he currently has a 2.8 WAR, a .284 AVG and 73 RBI. He was brought in for his prolific offensive skills which he displayed as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals but what many didn't realize is that he's a fantastic fielder at first base. His UZR is currently 4.8 in 858.1 innings and he's had the usual season that you can expect from Pujols, extremely solid fielding at a position that's constantly overlooked in the field. What goes against Pujols is that horrendous first month or so with the team where he didn't hit a single home run and had a terrible batting average. From there though, it can be stated that he's back to his usual self for the most part. He's certainly right up there with the other players in this article in who is the team's MVP besides the most obvious candidate.
Last but not least, is the veteran presence and All-Star, outfielder Torii Hunter. With Peter Bourjos, Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo all vying for a spot in the outfield before this season, the wily vet Hunter has solidified his spot in the outfield and also, with a strong bat and tough out in the batting order. The longtime Angel has had a very solid season, even while his former spectacular plays on defense have been replaced by the young guns, Trout and Bourjos. Hunter holds a .294 AVG, has 55 RBI's and a WAR of 3.0 while the most intriguing statistic to look at is his UZR in the outfield. In 702.1 innings out in right field, Hunter is second on the team to Trout with a 7.2 UZR reading and that's really quite good. For Hunter, he may not be the player that he used to be but really, he hasn't fallen off much at all. He's simply gotten some more miles on the tires and he's performing at a very high rate.
When you take all of the statistics and circumstances that are currently in play, I would say that Jered Weaver is the next in line when it comes to their case for making the MVP award next to Mike Trout. I took every single statistic you could think of with Trumbo, Hunter, Pujols and Weaver and it's literally a toss-up between Weaver and Trumbo. What concluded the comparison is the Angels' specific needs. The team has been hitting well as a whole lately but one issue for the entire season has been the pitching staff and the troubling state of affairs around the clubhouse. Ervin Santana is likely headed to the bullpen while Dan Haren has not been like himself and even besides those two, Zack Greinke and C.J. Wilson have been more than a little shaky. This team desperately needs Weaver and when you take the team's bullpen pitching into account, it's made his efforts even more valuable. Sure, he only plays every five days but the Angels win at least 75% of the time when he's pitching and he's having a 2011 Verlander year if I've ever seen one. Weaver has been the glue that has held the team together and without him, I'll actually go out on a limb and say that he would be more missed than Trout if either were to be off the team. Weaver has literally been the only reliable starting pitcher in Anaheim and he's putting up a historic season in the pitching world, even in a season where he was previously injured. You can see the rankings of the four players of note below, what would you rank them?

Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes have nothing to worry about when it comes to the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Rimes will not be on the show.
"That's all a farce," Glanville said of the rumor that's caught traction over the last several days. "She wouldn't do it. They didn't offer it. She squashed it on Twitter. My people would never do that to me. It wouldn't happen."
Glanville and Rimes have clashed publicly since 2009 when the country star had an affair with Glanville's then-husband, Eddie Cibrian – whom Rimes later married and is now living happily ever after.

But Lisa isn't as interested in following the 66-year-old Three's Company star's plan for living to the age of 110.

He'd sold his soul. For that price, he took the same price from others, and he was, in a way, the devils accountant.
He found those with nothing, and raised them, raised them to immortal, untameable beings of darkness, and he loved every moment. He watched in splendour as he took the price for a young man, and he immediately fell to the floor. Xemnas enjoyed being what he was, a reaper of souls, a demon of hell. He grinned, a shit-eating grin that showed of an infinite row of teeth that stretched his mouth outwards akin to a Cheshire cat.
The man on the floor was young, and he had had nothing. His long limbs were splayed out as he could feel something beautiful and powerful oozing out of him. His weary, aching eyes watched the creature over him, watched the tan skin over taut muscles move, the way the demon tranquilly stretched and seemed to breathe in the fumes of life bleeding from his pores.
"Are you scared?" The creature asked, rubbing at his arm, which was decorated with a spiralling, never ending mesh of tribal inking, similar swirling carvings in his skin to the ones on the horns that protruded from his powerful skull. Silver hair framed them perfectly, the flowing spiked water falling low over his back.
The man on the floor shook his head dazedly, sleepily. He had nothing left, and sold his soul for strength, strength to continue after the loss of a loved one, to get his dearest friend back. Xemnas had found him, and offered him the deal. He had had nothing, and so, Saix took the deal.
The soul was leaving him and darkness was bleeding into his vision. A large, strong hand took his collar and lifted him so that he was eye level with the demon. Its eyes were golden, large, and unnerving. They held a look of amusement mixed in with bloodlust and confidence.
"You'll be a good addition to the devils team." He almost chuckled. "Pity. A pretty thing like you selling your soul for another. You could have had so much more."
Saix gasped for breath now, his teeth feeling sharper and longer as they began to snag on his lower lip; he was changing, and he was confused. The demon smiled wilder, and with his free hand, opened up the younger mortal's collar. He moved his head, his neck, found the thickest, liveliest artery he could, and sunk his front row of teeth into the creamy skin, leaving a half-moon mark describing betrayal and ownership.
The human could barely move; he let out a pained, shocked noise and his legs stiffed and tried to kick, but his strength was sapped away, and his eyes were focuses on the golden harvest-moon eyes of the deadly creature towering over him.
He was dropped, and hit the floor with a near lifeless thud.
"A very good addition. I will be happy to have you serving under me, little human."
The open gap in his neck was causing the ground beneath him to stain and even more of his energy to deplete. A strike of something akin to lightening struck through him and he jolted, called out in pain, and his elongating fingernails made hollow rivers in the floor.
"Accept the pain, Saix. Become strong."
His skin turned to shadow and his eyes became brighter, brighter, until they were a solid yellow haze. His hair began pitch black to match his skin, and his soul was no longer his. He was Xemnas', and he was a shadow. He was no longer himself. He was no longer Saix. He felt almost mindless under a new master's control, but stronger, with denser muscles. He crawled up onto his belly and lay before the demon. His shoulders were shaking from strain.
"Go on, Saix. Tell me how you feel."
He creature below him looked up. He was entirely ebony all over, darker than ebony even. He was no longer human. The entire opposite of him. No longer Saix. Anti-Saix.
He opened his mouth, and like his new master had rows of teeth, sharper that needles and craving blood. He let out a howl of anguish.
Xemnas grinned wider.
"Good. Now we understand each other."

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have owned the Hamilton Beach Emmie Food Processor for about nine years. When my father died, I was given his "Emmie" and have loved it ever since. One of the things I like most about this machine is the smallness of it and the ease of using it. Even though it is small (the container holds only about four cups), it is large enough for a family of four or so. Yesterday I made chicken salad in the "Emmie" using a whole cooked chicken. The "Emmie" comes with three blades, one to chop, one to shred and grate and one to pulverize. For the chicken salad I used the pulverizer blade because I like my salad more like a pate. After the chicken was done, I used the same blade and chopped the onion and celery for the salad. It was so easy and took approximately 10 minutes to make the entire salad. I keep this machine in one of my kitchen cabinets and it takes up little room, unlike the large food processors that have large motors and very large containers. These machines usually take up an entire shelf, but not the "Emmie". The "Emmie" has a funnel attached to the cover with a pusher so you can pour in ingredients to be processed. This is excellent when I make potato pancakes. I used to have to grate the potatoes by hand, which was a long process and sometimes quite painful, but with this processor, there is no pain, very little work and very little time. Another thing I love about this machine is that the cord is sort of retractable. It goes back into the machine for easy storage. Clean-up is very easy with this machine also, even though there are many parts to it. Again, I really love this machine and get much use out of it. And even though it is over nine years old, I really don't see where I would need to upgrade to anything better.

I am hating Linux as there is no REAL instructiions anywhere! It is rediculous to not be able to install the OS in a simple matter. I don't know who is behind all of this LInux thing but they are surely not using there heads! I am only trying to Re-install LM17MQ32bit over my old corrupted 64bit of the same. I have scoured the internet and youtube to get answers but cannot find much of anything good. There are some good videos but most are not and don't address the particular issue that I am having. I am trying to do a dual boot with my xp system, that has LM17MQ64bit as stated above. So I need to leave the xp there and choose whatever to install new over the old. I have read that this is possible without even making a new partition, and just installing over the old?. I have been workingn on this for a long time now so it has become a waste! I could have just bought a Windows product and been on my way, really would it be that much of a task to just expand the Manual? Then at least people-and especially newbie's could do it on their own ya know. Here is my thread on this issue, I am getting some help from another forum but things are going so slow as people are obviously busy.
Thanks pcpunk

LinkedIn axed InMaps, which is tool that enables users to map out the appearance of their LinkedIn network.
The professional social network noted on its site: "InMaps is being discontinued on September 1, 2014, so we can focus on developing new ways to visualize your professional network.
"Please check out the LinkedIn Help Center if you have any questions. And don't forget to download your InMap by August 31!"
"Sometimes we have to retire tools we love so we can focus our attention and resources on creating even better experiences for our members."
Last month, LinkedIn has reportedly revealed plans to build a $1bn business from its marketing offerings by 2017.
It has also acquired business-marketing startup Bizo, for about $175m, as part of efforts to spread out beyond its existing media and content marketing products to build a B2B marketing platform by making use of its own tools.
Further, the company is also sprucing up offerings that assist businesses find customers and develop relationships via e-mails, advertising and sharing content.

Normative uncertainty for non-cognitivists

Get AccessAbstract
Normative judgments involve two gradable features. First, the judgments themselves can come in degrees; second, the strength of reasons represented in the judgments can come in degrees. Michael Smith has argued that non-cognitivism cannot accommodate both of these gradable dimensions. The degrees of a non-cognitive state can stand in for degrees of judgment, or degrees of reason strength represented in judgment, but not both. I argue that (a) there are brands of noncognitivism that can surmount Smith's challenge, and (b) any brand of non-cognitivism that has even a chance of solving the Frege–Geach Problem and some related problems involving probabilistic consistency can also thereby solve Smith's problem. Because only versions of non-cognitivism that can solve the Frege–Geach Problem are otherwise plausible, all otherwise plausible versions of noncognitivism can meet Smith's challenge.

I figured thats what you were up to
Congrats! How many hunter's were there?
yep steve keepin em tuned up and ready to rumble.
we had 8 hunters and me handleing hogs. all the hunters got to kill. and see a dog go nuts on a hog more than twice her size.
it's very rare that i go guide a hog hunt where all the hunters don't get a hog.
Got my spear in the mail......I'm ready!
congrats jeff.....What was the weight range on those?
steve you've got the spear i've got the dogs sounds like a bbq about to happen.
psyco those are in the 150-175 range. big enough to have an attitude about them had one put me up a tree and keep me there for a minute. but yet small enough to still be good eatin not that i've killed one yet that was bad eatin.

In art, a motif (pronunciation) (help·info) is an element of a pattern, image or part of one, or theme. A motif may be repeated in a design or composition, often many times, or may just occur once in a work.[1] A motif may be an element in the iconography of a particular subject or type of subject that is seen in other works.
Ornamental or decorative art can usually be analysed into a number of different elements, which can be called motifs. These may often, as in textile art, be repeated many times in a pattern. Important examples in Western art include acanthus, egg and dart,[2] and various types of scrollwork.
Many designs in mosques in Islamic culture are motifs, including those of the sun, moon, animals such as horses and lions, flowers, and landscapes. Motifs can have emotional effects and be used for propaganda.[3]
Visual motifs are used in film to establish a mood, such as film noir.[4][5] Blade Runner is a science fiction film that uses visual motifs effectively; director Ridley Scott used a birthing motif in a previous film Alien.[6]
