I expected to see some improvements in my love life after I contacted Ekaka and asked him to send out a spell to the Universe for me, but I didnât expect a life-changing experience, thatâs for sure! Still, though, thatâs what I got! Iâm not only in love, Iâm going to be moving to my soon-to-be-fianceâs state next month! We probably would never even have met if it werenât for ekakaspelltemple@yahoocom and his wonderful powers of peace and love. I wish you all the peace and love you sent me, DR Ekaka.
Sad to see that using trans people to play trans roles was just a fluke, unique to OITNB. Also, transvestite is defunct term for a hetrosexual man that engages in crossdressing for sexual fulfillment.
The few reviews we've seen so far 'measured, muted'?
I'm getting the opposite impression of people's reaction to this film ..
Sounds like the film has turned those 'Oscar-bait triggers' upside down and delivered.
Given all the obvious Oscar-bait triggers–an AIDS drama, a flamboyant female impersonator character, McC's weight loss, etc.–the few reviews have been surprisingly measured, even muted, in their enthusiasm for this. Sounds like something I will definitely catch on HBO, but probably not in a theater.
Cotillard in the Immigran is incredible
Cut to the chase: Will he be nominated or not?
has the press conference happened yet? I'm hoping to catch the livestream
How are you writing this review when it hasn't played yet at TIFF. The premier is tonight and there is only one other showing tomorrow morning. I'm a TIFF member and there were no other showings.

A Strange ReactionMature
At the throne room doors, a young witch sat on a stool reading a tatty paperback. Looking up he smiled as Gabriel and Lou approached.
"His highness has moved the party, so it's not as crowded. It's in the west forest." He looked back at his book. "Turn right outside the main doors, you can't miss it."
"Thanks" Lou said.
The west forest was teeming with people, the air was warm and fragrant with spices and cooking meat. Tiny lights hung in strings through the trees, music and laughter floated up a flight of stone stairs to meet Lou and Gabriel.
"Hey." Morgan called spotting them, she waved enthusiastically, her other hand rested on the growing bump she carried.
Gabriel felt his mind begin to fog most of the witches around him were taller then him and the sounds and smells pressed in making him feel dizzy.
"Have you seen Dawn?" Lou asked.
"I haven't seen him." Morgan frowned "I could ask…" she stopped looking up the stairs behind them. "He's there." She smiled Lou turned and laughed in pleasant surprise. Gabriel lit a cigarette then turned too, looking up.
Dawn stood at the top of the stairs dressed in crimson silk, his large arms bare. His usually swept back, black hair hung loose around his face. He looked a little lost as he quickly moved towards them.
"Hi." He said sounding a little uneasy.
"Hey, yourself." Morgan laughed "you look great." She elbowed Gabriel's arm lightly. "Doesn't he?"
"Huh?" he frowned at her rubbing his arm.
"You are hopeless." She sighed fondly "don't you think Dawn looks good?" Lou looked at Gabriel's face then quickly he took Morgan's arm.
"A dance?" he asked she nodded laughing again and Lou led her away.
"Well?" Dawn asked as Gabriel looked at him. Dawn wondered what the vampyre was thinking as the blue eyes travelled over the red silk. His eyes met Dawn's and Gabriel's sharp teeth became visible as he smiled.
"You look…" he paused suddenly frowning almost in confusion. "Familiar."
"Of course I do." Dawn laughed, his nerves vanishing he thought his friend would laugh but Gabriel just looked puzzled. Dawn moved to his side. "Okay?" he asked Gabriel nodded his expression softened to slightly bewildered. He moved slowly through the crowd at Dawn's side.


text: LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans, for unknown reasons, don't often speak about vaginal health concerns with the respect and intelligence that they deserve. Because of this embarrassment and reluctance to talk about these issues, many women don't get the adequate treatment they deserve and often need. This lack of treatment can have many negative effects on a woman's well-being and day-to-day activities. After all, the appearance, health, and sensitivity of a woman's reproductive system can have a huge impact on her quality of life. This is why, at Beverly Hills Physicians, one of the largest networks of medical experts in Southern California, a woman's reproductive health is treated with the utmost compassion, openness, and professionalism. From utilizing the most recent technology for concerns like uterine fibroid treatment to listening with empathy and honest consideration to a woman voice her displeasure about her vagina's appearance, the talented surgeons at BHP work with patients to eliminate genital pain, restore function and sensation, and perform a post-pregnancy vaginal rejuvenation. One of the most important gynecological procedures offered at Beverly Hills Physicians is labia reduction. This operation is performed to counteract a wide range of concerns, from aesthetic to functional. These symptoms can include pain during intercourse, unpleasant sweating, frequent irritation and infection of the region, and difficulty or discomfort while wearing certain bathing suits, underwear, or pants. Additionally, the procedure can correct a patient's dissatisfaction with the appearance, length, or proportion of her labial folds. The surgery's potential for changing lives can be seen in the before and after pictures available on the Beverly Hills Physicians website, a helpful visualization for those considering a labia reduction. With a BHP surgeon, labia reduction surgery is an out-patient procedure that rarely requires an overnight stay. It's performed under twilight or general anesthesia, and women often consider the operation to be nearly pain free. As far as costs, this procedure may be partially covered by health insurance. Nonetheless, as part of Beverly Hills Physicians' goal of easing a patient's financial burden, a highly qualified consultant will deal with the health coverage agency after a patient fills out an insurance check form. If there is no coverage, then the BHP team will work with a patient to work out a financing package.

The tour stated off with a beer! An excellent way to start a tour. It was called Champ, one of their lower alcohol percentage beers.

In which I become an expert on global technology because I have an email address
There are all sorts of ways to be recognized as an expert. Courts typically certify those who've published peer-reviewed literature, or who have years of experience, or who fulfill some other criteria. Sometimes, however, it doesn't take that much.
From an email solicitation I received today:
I am calling on behalf of [redacted] an independent global research consultancy. We are conducting a survey of Opinion Leaders such as yourself to understand your views on a number of important issues related to how global technology companies are viewed and how they might better meet stakeholder expectations. You do not have to be actively involved in technology (ie : – IT/programming/Manufacture etc ) so long as you have some views on the subject such as ethically sourced materials for manufacture, energy efficiency & responsibilities to workforces.
Well, as many of my friends and family would agree, I certainly have some views on any number of subjects, so I should be OK here. I have views on proper capitalization, for example, and that would appear to be helpful in this case.

September 11, 2001: A day in my life, 11 years later
I'm not sure what prompted me to write this today, as opposed to the other ten September 11ths that we've observed since 2001. Mine was not even a minor September 11 story. I did not lose any close friends or family in the attacks. It's the stories of those who died, those of their families — such as this one in yesterday's Stamford Advocate, just to highlight one example — are the ones to pay attention to, as are those of the first responders who sacrificed everything. In contrast, this is my personal blog, and this was an opportunity to put down my thoughts. I'm planning to treat this as a work-in-progress, filling in and correcting details as needed, and doing some rewrites, so I look forward to feedback.
On the night of September 11, 2001, we got to the front of the line at Mama Buddha, on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village, just as they were taping a sign to their window saying they needed to close for a while. They seemed to be the only restaurant open for blocks. They'd been jammed with customers for hours, and the staff needed a break.
They looked at me, sweaty and wearing hospital scrubs, and then quietly asked how many in my party. I didn't really think about why they were letting us in despite the sign, just said it was four or five. It was only as we were being seated that I realized I was being faced with an Ethicist-worthy question. Do I tell the hostess that I hadn't actually been working at the hospital, as the staff obviously assumed from my scrubs, but had shown up only to be gratefully told I wasn't needed?
We decided to stay. We were hungry, we weren't taking food away from legitimate rescuers – the crowd looked to be locals who didn't want to sit in their apartments – and I had tried to volunteer, after all. We figured we'd leave a big tip.
We did, and then we dispersed to various parts of Manhattan, me to Hell's Kitchen, my friend Gady and the others to their hotels. We weren't sure what was in store the next day, but we knew we'd need some rest. Read the rest of this entry »

By IRVIN MOLOTSKY, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 9, 1987
WASHINGTON, March 8— Representative Andrew Jacobs Jr. wants ''America the Beautiful'' to be declared the national anthem. Representative E. (Kika) de la Garza also admires the tune, but he would be content with its designation as the national song.
Representative James H. Quillen, on the other hand, gets his inspiration from ''Stars and Stripes Forever,'' and he would like it to be designated our national march.
Mr. Jacobs, an Indiana Democrat, and Mr. de la Garza, a Texas Democrat, along with Mr. Quillen, a Tennessee Republican, are among those to have introduced legislation that might be viewed as addressing esthetic concerns in the 100th Congress -measures not as weighty as, say, requirements that the national budget be balanced, but ones nonetheless dear to their supporters' hearts.
Representative Jacobs said he first introduced his proposal to change the national anthem in the 1960's at the request of constituents, What the Old Lyrics Once Said ''The Star-Spangled Banner,'' he noted, takes its music from ''Anacreon Ascending Into Heaven,'' an English song usually associated with drinking and related carousing, while ''America the Beautiful'' is ''home-grown.'' In addition, he said, ''America the Beautiful'' is ''not about an American battle and not about the American flag, but about the American people.''
Asked to assess the prospects of his bill, Mr. Jacobs said, ''It's going to pass - around the turn of the century.''
Mr. Quillen said he thinks that ''America should have both an anthem and a march from which to choose, depending on the occasion.
''I certainly don't want to do away with the national anthem,'' he hastened to add. '' 'The Star-Spangled Banner' couldn't be better, but there are times when a good stirring march is more suitable.'' Can't Carry a Tune, He Says
Mr. Quillen admitted to tapping his toe whenever he hears the strains of ''Stars and Stripes Forever,'' one of John Phillip Sousa's masterpieces, saying the music reminds people of ''what makes America great.'' He also confessed also that he cannot carry a tune.
Representative Quillen opposes Mr. Jacobs's effort to replace ''The Star-Spangled Banner'' with ''America the Beautiful'' as the national anthem, but he thinks that Mr. de la Garza's bill to make the latter the national song is a fine one.
The subject of American music also inspired Senator Alan Cranston, Democrat of California, to introduce a bill: He wants to have jazz designated a national treeasure.
Representative Robert K. Dornan, Republican of California, has introduced a bill calling a statue of Haym Salomon to be placed in the Capitol. Mr. Dornan did not return a phone call seeking amplification on his choice of Salomon, a Jewish hero of the Revolutionary War, but passage of his bill might help him patch up his differences with Jewish voters that arose last year.
Mr. Dornan had disparaged Vladmir Posner, a commentator for Radio Moscow who had appeared on American television, calling him, among other things, a ''disloyal, betraying little Jew.'' He later apologized. Mr. Dornan, who has a long record of support for Israel and denied that his remarks were anti-Semitic. A Mining Hall of Fame? Representative Roy Dyson, Democrat of Maryland, has two bills calling attention to the fact that the present Congress is the 100th. One calls for striking a commemorative medal and another calls for printing a commemorative postage stamp.
Other Congressmen have called for establishing a national maritime museum and a national mining hall of fame.
And Representative Carlos J. Moorhead, Republican of California, is seeking declaration of Snow White Week.
''It is just 50 years since Walt Disney introduced 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.' '' Mr. Moorhead explained. ''It was the first full-length animated motion picture. It is a movie that is clean and decent, one that everybody relates to. It still has great appeal to kids today and to middle-aged people who saw it when it first came out.''
Representative Moorhead's district takes in the Disney studios and he has a very large entertainment constituency, including the NBC studio in Burbank. Does this suggest future proposals for, say, a Pinocchio Week or a Fantasia Week?
''No,'' Mr. Moorhead said. ''I don't do a lot of this kind of thing.''

Turning to more prosaic matters, namely the TV's connections, this TV continues to impress. The provision of four HDMIs is particularly eye-catching - and yes, all of these are v1.3 certified for Deep Colour playback.
Another neat connection touch is a DLNA-certified Ethernet port, so that you can jack the TV into your home network for direct playback of music and picture files. More support comes from a D-Sub port and a USB jack that can handle MP3, .alb slideshows, JPEGs, and MPEG1/2 videos.
So far, so good. And my expectations only grow as the 32PFL9603's spec sheet serves up a Full HD resolution and a vast claimed contrast ratio of 55,000:1. Obviously a dynamic backlight arrangement has been employed here, which reduces the image's brightness during dark scenes to improve black levels. But practically all rival LCD TVs use similar backlight technology and few promise contrast ratios even close to 55,000:1. Let's just hope this figure actually translates onto the screen.
As you've probably started to realise by now, the 32PFL9603 sits towards the top of Philips' current LCD tree. And this high-level position is reinforced by the picture processing system it carries, namely the very latest version of Philips' Perfect Pixel HD Engine.
This second generation of the Pixel Perfect Engine builds on the elements aimed at improving motion clarity and sharpness found in the previous version, with new elements aimed at boosting contrast and colours. What's more, the previous motion clarity and sharpness processors have, here, been fine-tuned to within an inch of their lives.
In fact, Philips now calls the HD Natural Motion element of the Perfect Pixel HD Engine; 'Perfect Natural Motion', so pleased is it by the way the new TV - apparently - reproduces motion without either LCD response time blur or the artefacts that generally accompany attempts to reduce motion blur (such as 'haloing' around moving objects).
The word 'perfect' crops up yet again with the set's new Perfect Contrast Technology. This reduces light leakage from the LCD backlight during dark scenes while simultaneously increasing the differences between the dark and light parts of the image through digital processing. This system also claims to enhance shadow detail and diminish motion artefacts.
When it comes to colours, the 32PFL9603 utilises a system unsurprisingly called Perfect Colours. This is attributable to an optimised colour input - a ridiculously powerful 17-bit Colour Booster processor which can, it's claimed, show up to 2,250 trillion colours.
The liberal use of the word Perfect in all these features is, of course, potentially dangerous. For as well as making us wonder what manoeuvring room there is left for future Philips TVs ('Even More Perfect Contrast Technology'?), it doesn't half raise expectations about the 32PFL9603's performance levels.
The sophistication of the Perfect Pixel Engine system also inevitably makes the TV unusually complex to use. Especially as Philips has, sensibly, made most of the Engine's separate components individually adjustable.
Are you planning on testing the 42" version? If you are, do you know when?
I'm really keen on buying it, but it would be nice to see a review first.. :)
Philips couldn't be any more confusing with their naming schemes even if they tried - i can't understand why they don't just say "TV 1" and "TV 2" and "TV with little glowy bits on it"...
as far as i'm concerned the Philips 42PFL7603D is the closest 42 inch equivalent to this set.
No, the Philips 42PFL7603D is lower down the range. The 42" version would be Philips 42PFL9603D, note the L9 instead of L7.
Another vote for a review of the 42PFL9603 here. I've read some forum posts that the black level is lacking on the 42 inch version, so would be really interested in Trusted Reviews verdict on it.
Thanks for the reviews :-)
I would vote for the 42PFL9703. This one has extra's Ambilight Sepctra 3 and a Wide Colour Gamut LCD (what that may be..). Strange that de 32" has a dynamicc ontrast ratio 55000:1 and all 37" and 42" (9603 and 9703)models 'only' 30000:1.
I'm torn between 2 TV's, the Sony KDL-32W4000 or the Philips 32PFL9603? Which one would you go for?
where else can i get this from cos its only avalible from one shop and all the comet links dont work
After two months of research on 32" lcd's, there is simply no better product on the market at this point in time. Got mine last week at 𧾈 that price represents outstanding value. Pictures look freakishly real with levels of detail and black on another level to anything from Samsung or Sony.
Can you guys tell me what settings you are using for your 32" sets?
where did u get this tv for 𧾈? sounds amazin
the 32w4000 freeview is terriable, saw it at a friends house and was shocked, only a few channels looked good
Ordered this TV yesterday, so excited now after reading the review, playing around with the settings is half the fun for me! The Sony 32kdlw4000 was a possible other option and though it is cheaper the look of the Philips makes it worth it (very shallow of me I know).
Forgot to say that I got it for 𧽳 with free delivery from PRC Direct.
I have tried to buy one but it seems that all the places with an OK price are now out-of-stock. RGB Direct are now saying they have been discontinued :( I hope Philips come up with a replacement soon.
Ah - that is just great! I have had the same issue trying to find a stockist, but surely it can't be discontinued (review was only a few months ago)ts not the Philips, then my back up is the Panasonic X32LZD85.
I didn't have much luck trying to find you guys a stockist, yet it's still listed on Philips' website and there's no obvious replacement model(s). With two potential sales up for grabs, I'll try Philips PR in the morning to see what they can suggest.
I sent an email to priceless electronics as their site listed it as "awaiting stock". The reply to my question about when they expect to get more in stock was that the 9603D has been discontinued and no longer available. May be there is truth in this story?
Would be intersting to find out why esp if it is as good as it sounds
Well it seems Philips do have a replacement, the new 32PFL9613D/10 - similar spec but 100Hz. See http://www.p4c.philips.com/.... A review would be nice :)
I have a 32PFL9603D and it really is the best TV I've ever seen by far, both for picture quality and looks. Just superb.
Originally Philips stated that they didn't need 100Hz technology for the 32" because the panel came from a different manufacturer to those used in the rest of the Cineos range, so had different response characteristics. Will be in interesting to see how much better the 32PFl9613D is. Perhaps the original panel supplier got too expensive, so an upgrade was needed?
(As far as stockists, I got mine from Digital Direct - http://www.digitaldirect.co... - very good price and service.)
I happened across a 32PFL9613D in House of Fraser with a 5 year warranty for 𨀻, that another customer had ordered but not taken. I can't compare it to the 9603 but i love it. As I upgraded from a 15" CRT it's very difficult to judge the benefits of the 100Hz tech over 60Hz, but the motions seems pretty nice. I have noticed whilst playing games via my PS3 that if you don't use the game setting you get major motion blur and lag but the game screen settings sort this out quite adequately.
I have a 32PFL9613D. I managed to pick it up in Totenham Ct Rd, London. I think the shop is Shansonic! Since getting it I've had some friends over and they couldn't beleive how good this TV's picture is. Wall-e' is amazing and Batman Dark knight is fantastic. I have seen a lot of good pictures but as LCD's go this is remarkable, If you can find a stockist I would recomend having a look at one hooked up to blueray it may just make you buy it then and there!! but it does take some setting up. Best 𧾈 Ive spent on tech.

Every Meal, Every PlanMature
By the time Anahita arrived at the inn, Miwa had regained a little of her strength back. She was snacking on what she had bought from the convenience store.
"If I don't come back out in… 8 to 10 minutes, you can go in… but… try not to. We need to escape as fast as possible. Your phone doesn't work here, right?" She shook her head. "I thought as much… that's ok. We'll do this!"
Anahita didn't trust her voice so she only nodded or shook her head in response to Miwa's further instructions. She's been anxious the entire time, but an overwhelming foreboding nearly incapacitated her. She was sure Miwa knew as well, but they had to continue, because they were already here and they couldn't just leave Dark Brown Hair behind. She took a deep breath and gave Miwa a hug. Miwa hugs back, leaves the car and enters the inn.
Because she had been there in her dreams, she went straight to the room, keeping her eyes peeled for [the woman] any threats.
"! Dark Brown Hair~"
He jumps, "Well… I do have dark brown hair… Who are you?"
"I know this is hard to believe, but I've had a premonition about you –and I and my friend distracted the woman so you could get to this room."
"… So… it was you… What am I looking for?"
She goes directly to the back of the room; knocks on a few things until she found something; shuffled other things; located a key and strolled to a different part of the room; dismantled something and used the key. [Details aren't important]
"These documents. Feral Eyes wanted these. We have to relocate it to somewhere safe. Okay. Let's go."
"Are you okay? You look like you're going to collapse. Let me help you…"
"There's another way out. I don't feel safe going out the main entrance."
He nods, and proceeds to follow her out. She walks further down the hallway towards a different staircase. Stops at the base and listens. Then she finds a side exit and stops again.
"Something's wrong. Let's go a different way…"
All he could do was nod and follow her. He was perplexed as to what was 'wrong' or how she even knew. Nothing looked any less… empty than it already did –but then again, he's not spiritual or psychic by any means so he'll have to trust her judgment. She indicated for him to creep. It would be slow going, but something was distressing her. He wanted to know what, but he figured he would have to wait until they escaped. For now, he prepared himself to help her in any way he could since her health continued to appear to diminish. The way she moved didn't coincide with reality –or with what he was seeing, at least. For instance, at one point they were walking down the middle of the hall but she walked around a spot as though a potted plant [or other big object] was there to walk around. Even though he felt a little silly, he too walked around that spot. And, whenever there was any sizeable amount of rubble in their way, she walked through it as though it wasn't there… yet… he couldn't –he would walk right into it every single time so he just walked around whenever he could. It wasn't that far to the entrance… but it seemed to take an extremely long time to get there only to detour to a different side entrance or exit. They were outside and he tried to say something, but she held a finger to her lips. Oh. The coast wasn't yet clear…? After eons, they reach around the front of the building and she indicates to break into a run for the car which he gladly does.
Out of craziness, perhaps, he picks her up and tosses her into the back seat and jumps in behind her, closing the door in one fluid movement.
"You need to get her to the hospital."
"But… I'm… just exhausted… Please, all I need is food and rest… I'll be fine, I promise. Then I can answer… some questions… I hope."
"My hotel is three hours away –I can give you the directions once we're on the highway."
"Ok. I never want to do this again… I thought I saw something descend into the inn –it looked… hell bent and nonphysical. I was so sure you weren't going to make it…"
Miwa giggles, "Hell bent… I was worried, too… but …I think he wants to torture us first. We are just so threatening to his existence." Anahita joins in the mirth.
"I fail to see the humor in this. I never wanted to be his enemy."
"How did you first encounter Feral Eyes, anyway?"
"… Feral Eyes, huh? … … !! Oh! I can remember now! Thank you! That's exactly what someone else referred to this unknown which sent me off the spiral path to begin with. I have excellent recall so as you can imagine, I was quite upset when I couldn't remember my final client of that day. I recalled with great clarity and great detail all the events leading up to and after that client but not of the client himself. I was a bit fatigued, so when I dealt with him, I thought I was seeing things: his eyes glowed hazel during certain sections of his account which… even that was a bit strange and perhaps too… convenient… His last words were that he wouldn't see me anymore because he was moving. He didn't wish to stay when shit went down; I may have ad-libbed that part, but the sentiment is the same. Then, as I walked to my car, even a stray cat had hazel eyes when that wasn't even its original colors.
"I didn't realize I didn't know anything until just one or two days ago during the middle of my vacation. I had this feeling that something was amiss. There was some unfinished business but I have no idea what actually triggered that. I remembered continually feeling anxious about something so I sat and thought about it and that's when I realized I couldn't remember the final client –it was as though my memory was stolen!
"Even worse, I couldn't sleep –I was so drained and I hadn't even done anything. I went for a mini adventure driving away from the hotel just to find some place to eat. I arrived at this town and filled up my car at the gas station in this town –which I find out does not even exist –and ate at the restaurant in this town. I used my credit card so if I am charged for it, not only was my memory stolen so was my money. …"
They all laughed that that was the focus of his ire. He looked deeply troubled –he hesitated as though he was uncertain whether to tell them… (Tell them? I'm not quite sure what happened myself... but if there's anyone I could tell, I do think it would be these two…) He takes a deep breath and continues to relay his story:
"I was in this town during the late afternoon or even time, feeling relatively well after having eaten. …How can I say this… this is unusual for me… I arrived at a gas station and talked to the woman who worked there. Her name, at least on her name tag –I never asked, and she never offered –was Zoiyah. We talked at length in which I promised her I would return the next day to tour more of the town. She was so knowledgeable about this place, and so excited to share some information with me that I couldn't not promise to see her –she looked like she was your ages –I'm not creepy, I swear ~ [they snickered at him, and he felt his face flush]. I paid using my card –I have the receipt. Then I went to a restaurant –an old couple owned it. I mentioned about the gas station –they confirmed it existed –but when I talked about Zoiyah they acted as though I fabricated her existence… I wondered if I had –but I was quite certain that I'm not that good at creating people to talk to that I'd never seen before in my life. To prove to myself that I wasn't losing my mind, I tried to drive by the gas station again. But… the gas station wasn't there –NOTHING physical left behind to show that it even existed. After that I tried driving back to the restaurant but it too had disappeared. What's worse, I had gotten 'lost' even though it was pretty much a straightforward drive from the gas station to the restaurant. I then parked at a parking lot in front of a store or shopping center –I couldn't quite tell for it was getting darker and also being abandoned and in disrepair has the effect of not being paid attention to."
"That was quite passive almost confusing..." Anahita's sarcasm welcomed itself into her tone.
"I realize that –sorry, it makes my explanations unnecessarily longer –I'm almost done, I promise!"
"Ha, ha ~ take your time. We only have a little over an hour to go."
He sheepishly grins –but Anahita couldn't see that. Miwa was [it appeared] sleeping the entire time he spoke, so he was certain that he would have to retell her his story the next day. He worried about her health –as she lay there, she looked more and more like a corpse. He resisted the urge to shake her awake to see if she was alive. Instead, he continues,
"I noticed the mansion inn looming nearby but I had no further business here, I wanted to get back to my suite so I did… so I thought. What I thought happened: I was in the hotel and facing another sleepless night. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep but I had looked at the bedside clock which read 3 AM. I was amusingly thinking how it was the witching hour and then being surprised at even having fallen asleep –but I drifted off again and when I 'woke' up I was in a dungeon. That dungeon, come to think of it, was probably in the Inn McMansion [Miwa remains expressionless while Anahita giggles –he worries some more]. At any rate, I was in a dungeon with cement for legs and strapped arms. A voice entertained me… rather, I perhaps amused the body less voice. It first came from the room but then after that came directly into my mind. It taunted me, tried to get me to doubt myself. But I escaped because even though it tried to convince me that dungeon was my mind, I somehow knew that it wasn't and I awoke not at the hotel but crashed at the 'Welcome to Town' sign. I was unharmed but had to return to the inn for 'answers'. And the rest, is where you guys come in…"
He completes his tale as they arrive at the hotel. He offers to pay for the gas which Anahita gladly accepts. He gives them his room while he would sleep on the pull out sofa. Miwa, he could tell, wasn't 'awake' but she was functioning so no one had to carry drag or help her to his room or anything… The last thing he remembered doing was collapsing on the sofa, not even pulling out the bed and falling into a deep dreamless slumber.
… … …
The following late morning, they all sit at the kitchen table and just look at each other. Then Dark Brown Hair [because he still hadn't actually introduced himself] and Anahita both look at Miwa. She summoned her most serious expression, but she couldn't help but laugh at their expectant faces. During the car ride while listening to his story, she was able to learn more as well as confirm her suspicions about Feral Eyes. But… she was still apprehensive about body –less voice since… well, she suspected it was the teenager… she needed to figure out the timing –there's a slim chance that it wasn't the teenager as long as he wasn't asleep and dreaming about the same thing at the same time… but if he couldn't remember, it doesn't help his case.
Well… at least Dark Brown Hair was able to recover his memory, but she was still unable to. She felt it was really significant… but how important could it be if something has changed then perhaps that's why it remains… stolen…
She shares what she believes he should know excluding their names. She refused to know his name, and she didn't share her own name. If he needed a name, he would have to be satisfied with nick names or descriptors. Whatever questions he had, she attempted to answer to the best of her abilities. They were all up to speed, more or less, so they just needed to figure out what to do next. Right after eating, of course. He told them to just order room service. He really didn't need to go anywhere –he had to call the car rental shop and see what could be done about the… incident…
"Can we drive to the site first? I want to see if I could divine what happened… if the car hasn't already been moved…"
"It might not have been…? It's not as though anyone needs to get in or out of that area… plus since I crashed right at the sign, no one else will run into it unless they too were under the Eyes' influence." He says wryly.
"Okay. After eating, we'll head there –we should be getting more provisions anyway. We'll be back." Miwa declares.
"We will?" Anahita asks surprised.
"We still need to discuss what to do with those documents and our practical roles in upsetting Feral Eyes…"
"You're right. I was just hoping to lay low for a long time…"
"The only encounter you've had with Feral Eyes was 'physical'. The rest of us had mental encounters as evidenced by exhaustion and stolen memories. You've been pretty fortunate... although I wondered what he needed your car for if he could just go from human to human…"
"Maybe it's not that simple to travel between humans as we think…"
"… You might be on to something, but explain further…" Miwa says excitedly.
"Well… this is a physical world… and it doesn't seem he has a physical body. [Turns to Anahita] You even described him as 'descending upon the inn'. [She nods her head and confirms that what she saw filled her core with such dread that it took all she had not to leave them at the inn]. So, because no humans, rather physical beings reside there, he probably needed your car at that time, Anahita, so as not to be detected, since he is quite capable of getting there on his own –but it probably takes a lot of effort to do that which is why he possibly prefers to go through humans. We've established that it's possible for him to travel between humans and make suggestions through exhaustion or weaknesses. And… but… why would he need that teenage boy?"
"He seemed to know a lot about the inn and quite possibly, he wanted some physical body to acquire that location for him and maintain it. Whenever the owners deviated from the original plan, the whole town was affected –but certainly the owners met with a fate worse than the townsfolk. …I don't think that the original proprietor is Feral Eyes but perhaps made some sort of pact with him… I've been wondering at the importance of that location myself." Miwa pondered. Then, "You claimed Zoiyah knew quite a few things as well…"
"But… she may have been a failed attempt. She's not in contact with other humans outside of her town. Maybe she really is trapped in this town… In a convergent time…?" He grimaced at its increasing complication.
"What if it made it easier for Feral Eyes to travel between more humans –if more of us knew each other? It would seem that he could for sure cause a division amongst our ranks." Anahita speculated.
"But it works both ways since he can't necessarily control anyone [everyone at once] who's not a willing participant of his ambitions. That wild card is an example… Well, actually, with a little help, he woke up. There wouldn't be a way for him to realize the truth since his desires were already aligned with Feral Eyes' so I trapped Feral Eyes in the boy's body… I hope it didn't do long term damage to his health, and I most likely endangered his parents –but like it or not, we're all involved anyway."
"How did you do that? That's so amazing what you can do!" Anahita gushes. Then mentally kicks herself for allowing her admiration to shut down her logical mind. She's not like this, really –using the current situation as an excuse is pitiful. She knew better than to ask since the less he [Dark Brown Hair] knew about Miwa, the better.
Miwa briefly displays a forgiving expression then slightly answers, "You're fortunate that I CAN do what I do… in fact, I'm not really that good –I should've trained with my mother, but…"
"Aren't there other um… mediums… spiritualists… that you can train with?" He interrupts.
"My mother was the best and most well known…"
" But, can't you speak with the dead?"
"… No…"
"Oh… I'm sorry. That was… s-sorry."
She laughs at his awkwardness. Brunch had arrived –they ate and Miwa and Anahita left to check on his car and get provisions. A part of him hoped that when they went to check it, it would not only still be there, but undamaged. He would hold off on calling the car rental agency for the time being. He washes up and lounges about. He didn't think that leaving the documents at a safe was… ideal. He was incredibly curious about the inn and what those documents could possibly mean. He didn't bring his laptop because he didn't want to be tempted to check anything work related –oh how he wished he brought it anyway. His mind drifted back to that day. That warning followed by how quickly Feral Eyes appeared… as he had explained, he was tired that day –and… he had remembered feeling disquiet… not quite correct… but anyhow specifically asking what difference did it make moving since whatever evil is, it's not stationary. Ah, he had felt despair and dread when he skeptically asked that of the client. But… who was he, anyway? He would have to check those files when he returned to work.
Whatever plans he had of retiring early were now pretty much thrown into the furnace and dissipating like smoke. Regardless, he needed to figure out what to do with those documents… Why does he need these documents? Were they part of 'a pact' with him…? Or is he asking the wrong question? Most people are unaware of events that happen legally –so he needs to establish a physical location –we already agreed upon that –but most likely do it in a way that people are comfortable with [read: won't do anything about it other than grumble or ignore it]. Okay so fast forward to having a base, the next step, most likely, is to attract people or have them [us] so oblivious or willfully ignorant about what's going on; once Feral Eyes has enough minions (sacrifices?) he could summon a more powerful being…?
"But that's such a common theme among many myths. Isn't there a different story? If there was or is he couldn't think of one. Neither could he think of one that would fit this sequence of events…" But… didn't even he discover that what he thought, he could put into effect? Those old sayings aren't merely sayings after all. He wasn't usually this derisive or judgmental –he's only now discovering what kind of a person he is under pressure and fear. That too, would have to change since he was determined to be more conscious and responsible for his thoughts and decisions.
He almost wanted to go back to the inn to unearth more secrets, but considering he would have to deal with the seen [Zoiyah] and unseen [Body less voice and perhaps even Feral Eyes himself]–and he had no true way of dealing with the unseen –he wouldn't chance it… His healthy fear prevented him from doing something regrettable. It was unfathomable that he'd have to be schooled in timing but there were many other lessons he'd had to learn, that before, he'd thought were nonsensical. Looking at the clock, he sees that only a few hours have passed –had he seriously been lost in thought all that time?
He shakes his head, sighs and begins to skim through the documents learning the name of the original owner and other usual unimportant details. The next document is an original blueprint of the inn. He wondered about the additions to the inn but it was still good to know about 'hidden' rooms he wouldn't have known about… The last document was his [whose?] will and testament. This, he read over more carefully and with great interest. He would have to allow them to read it themselves and discuss more about it since it would perhaps change any initial plan she might have had –especially since there were actually two different ones [wills, I mean].
Dark Brown Hair's rental car was indeed where he claimed it would be. How he survived that was, she was certain, not coincidental. It was crashed with such force she wondered if he was actually rammed from behind –but she was no forensics expert or detective –she had no knowledge of these kinds of things. Well, really –she was just unobservant –at any rate, she concluded he would have a hell of a time explaining it to the agency. They parked nearby and went to investigate for themselves.
Remarks, "There's 'fresh' skid marks –appears to be from his tires. … The gas tank is empty?"
"… But he filled it with gas before crashing… ah… but didn't he also say that he heard a dripping sound the entire time he was in the 'dungeon'?"
"…Yes… but I'm not sure that it should be like this? Hmmm and something else –the airbags didn't deploy…"
"Um… why was the gas tank leaking, again?"
"Ah… good question. Most of the damage was the front… not the back… even though if he were rammed from behind… that still wouldn't really explain the leak…"
"Thinking is too much to ask for –and I'm famished! Let's get some snackages and head back!"
Side eyes, "Oy, all you do is eat."
"Oy –brain power –there's nothing like it. I need fuel"
Mumbles, "You need exercise too –you got the sleeping and eating down pat."
Puts her face within inches of Anahita's, "You say something?"
She involuntarily jerks back, "No, of course not –pudgy."
"Hi pot, well met."
They both laugh –neither of them were pudgy and it was good to have a retorting partner again. They were going to be alright. ~Some boring event happened ~ Back at the suite, they knocked on the door and Dr. Muzro lets them in. The look on their faces tell all about the rental car. He sighs but what's done is done. He doesn't even care about it or the cost –yes it will set him back a bit, but there are more important affairs to attend to. He shows the documents to Psychick [he decides to call her] and Psydekick [he didn't really know if she had 'powers' or not… he conceded that most people do have psychic connections with each other –just some more in tune than others] and Psychick gives her pal a 'you should look into this' look. Psydekick nods, whips out her phone and begins her research. He felt his age more than ever –he never really got into using his mobile for anything other than calls. He had no time or desire to learn all that although now… it might help him pass away the time that he probably no longer has…
Psychick was silent for an eternity before finally speaking, "Oh, yeah I wasn't really trying to plan anything. I'm too hungry to think."
"… … … Oh.my… You can't think on an empty stomach. Did I get that right?"
"Oh, well to put it in such an old expressive manner…"
"What are you implying with that?"
"I didn't say anything insulting, but I seem to have discovered your shoe size…"
"Ah, well it looks as though you guys are taking me out to dinner."
Both at the same time, "What?"
Miwa quickly recovers, "Right, you are the only one with a working vehicle…"
"Why don't you eat at the hotel restaurant if you're so hungry??"
"[Whines] I'm a starving college student… I only bought snackages but that's for tonight."
"And really, I think I just have cabin fever. This was my vacation week…"
"Was? The world didn't end." Anahita grouses.
"But it nearly has –which is all the more reason to go out and have the 'Last Supper' of sorts."
"Oh.my.geez but we are NOT having this conversation?!" Anahita chortles.
"Yep ~!"
"Shouldn't we be getting back for exams soon?"
"Eh, I have one more day to study then take my exams and one day after that to leave. You're done with your exams, no?"
"No. I have only one more the same day as you but I'm leaving as soon as I'm done."
"Wait, what? W-H-Y?"
"Why did you spell that out for me? Anyway, my family is coming to help me move shi—stuff back home and then we're going on a road trip!"
"Why am I just learning about this??? Ah, but… okay so see? Today is a 'last' day of sorts –we leave tomorrow to study at the dorms then go about our lives."
They both turned to look at him; Miwa asks, "But where does that leave you?"
"What? I don't need to study or anything…"
"Ha! We actually have specific plans after this, but, knowing what you know about Feral Eyes and some of his minions –what are you going to do? What are you prepared to do, rather?"
"… I am still puzzling over this as well. I will safely hide the documents… unless you wanted them…?"
"I think you are correct to assume responsibility for that. I don't have the means to store them anywhere 'safely'. But as well, you were the one in my premonition to guard these particular items…"
He nods then, "I too cannot think when my stomach is on empty."
"?! Empty! Your gas tank was completely empty when we checked." Anahita informs him.
"It was dripping… but… it couldn't be! When I arrived at the gas station my tank was a quarter full and I distinctly remembered her filling it up. …I can't remember what it was when I left town –I never actually looked… so it could be possible that it was still the same [or a little lower] when I crashed…"
"Did anything or anyone hit you from behind?"
"I was considering that myself and I couldn't tell you if that happened or not since I truly thought I made it back here safely yet when I woke up I was crushed in front of that damned sign."
"Yeah… and none of the airbags deployed either…"
"… I wanted to leave the town as quickly as possible, so I was probably going at least twenty above the speed limit especially since I thought I wouldn't be caught at that time of night."
"Huh, lucky bastard. Let's celebrate your life while eating –I think we've already established how ravenous I am."
"Gluttonous. You're never full."
"Shut it –okay ~ let's go!"
Anahita sighs and rolls her eyes; Dr. Muzro smirks and heads for the door with Miwa leading the way.

Bechtel is among the most respected engineering, construction, and project management companies in the world.
Together with our customers, we deliver landmark projects—the modern marvels of the world—that foster sustainable progress and grow economies.
With every project we undertake, no matter the scale, we place a core focus on protecting people and the environment, promoting local economic development, and partnering with communities and society.
UPF is needed to ensure the long-term viability, safety, and security of the enriched uranium capability in the U.S.
The Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) is being built at the Y-12 National Security Complex by Consolidated Nuclear Security, an LLC of which Bechtel is a majority partner. The design and construction is subcontracted to Bechtel's U.S. government services company and will be a multi-building, state of the art complex for enriched uranium operations related to nuclear security. It will not only ensure the long-term viability, safety, and security of the enriched uranium capability in the U.S. but also support the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, the downblending of uranium to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and provide uranium for fuel for U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. Currently, these unique capabilities reside in aging World War II and Cold War-era buildings that are inefficient and costly to operate and maintain.
At an estimated $6.5 billion, UPF is one of the Department of Energy's largest investments in Tennessee since the Manhattan Project and one of the National Nuclear Security Administration's largest construction projects. Modern safety standards, security and flexibility are key design attributes. Once UPF is in full operations, the U.S. will not only reap the benefits of a new uranium processing facility, it will also save millions every year by significantly lowering operating and maintenance costs.

All of a sudden, the number of workers clocking 31 to 34 hours per week is sinking like a stone.
This segment of workers with usual weekly hours just above the 30-hour mark at which ObamaCare employer penalties apply shrunk by a monthly average of 242,000, or 10%, in the first quarter relative to the same period in 2013, Current Population Survey data show.
Meanwhile, the number working 25 to 29 hours per week, just south of ObamaCare's definition of full time, rose 306,000, or 9%, over the same period.
Even amid a strong cyclical tide, the White House Council of Economic Advisers has suggested that it's possible to detect the effect of ObamaCare's current on work hours by focusing on the narrow channel on either side of the 30-hour point.
If the ratio of workers with hours just above 30 per week relative to those with hours just below were stable or rising, it would suggest that employers weren't responding to the incentive to reduce work hours in order to limit liability under ObamaCare.
The White House first unveiled this analysis of ObamaCare's impact on the workweek in September and gave the all-clear signal, but the data have shifted dramatically since then.
In March, this White House-endorsed gauge sank to a nearly 14-year low of 57%, down from 73% in the month ObamaCare was signed into law.
The evidence leaves little doubt that ObamaCare's mandate is influencing employer work policies.
The sharp drop in the number of workers clocking 31 to 34 hours per week in their primary job has been apparent in each of the past six months, making clear that the data from the often-volatile Current Population Survey are sending a reliable signal.
In fact, the CPS data, which feed into the monthly employment report's household survey, only belatedly caught up with the more-robust establishment survey data, which show that the workweek among low-wage private-sector workers sank to a record low last summer.
It's only logical that the relevant household survey data would lag by several months because of the wording of the survey. Workers are asked to provide the schedule they worked at least 50% of the time over the prior four to five months, so it could take several months for work-hour reductions to register.
The 30 million rank-and-file workers in private industries where pay averages up to about $14.50 an hour clocked their shortest-ever average workweek in July, 27.45 hours, just as the Obama Administration delayed employer penalties to 2015. The administration more recently delayed the mandate by an additional year for employers with fewer than 100 full-time-equivalent workers.
The last good read on industry hours-worked data from November matched that all-time low before some ill-timed major storms further cut the workweek during the winter months.
On a net basis, the 644,000 non-management jobs added in these low-wage industries in 2013 through November averaged just 17.9 hours per week.
Most economists have overlooked evidence pointing to an ObamaCare impact on work hours — despite the plethora of anecdotes about employers systematically reducing hours below 30 — because the average workweek across the entire private sector has mostly recovered from the recession after bottoming out in mid-2009.
Yet that broad view misses the sharp divergence between average work hours for low-wage workers, now just below 2009's low point, and the rest of the private sector that is now clocking a slightly longer week than before the recession began.
While it's impossible to know how much of this divergence is due to ObamaCare, it's clear that the employer mandate is a much bigger burden for businesses that employ primarily low-wage workers for whom ObamaCare-compliant coverage has been much less prevalent.
The drop in the number of workers clocking just over 30 hours and the surge in the ranks of those just below suggests the direction of ObamaCare's current — toward a shorter workweek — but it may not indicate the full magnitude of the change.
That's because the analysis must exclude the 5 million or so workers who are reported to work exactly 30 hours per week. The problem is that CPS interviewers are instructed to count 30 minutes or more as a full hour.
Thus, it's impossible to know how many of these 5 million workers are actually working 29.5 hours, though it seems likely that the number has grown given the multiple anecdotes of employers cutting workweeks to within minutes of ObamaCare's full-time threshold. Initially, White House economists counted 29.5-hour workers as clocking 30 hours but later acknowledged that doing so was inappropriate.

Converging cultures shape Atlanta's civil rights history
ATLANTA - Rabbi Analia Bortz of Or Hadash Synagogue chants the ancient Hebrew words for "justice, justice, you shall pursue." It's an enduring Biblical directive for the Jewish people.
Bortz learned it as a child from her father while growing up in Argentina under an oppressive military regime.
"We were always with this ghost that if you speak too much, you will disappear," Bortz said.
The teachings of her faith inspired Bortz to take action as a teenager, joining her country's pro-democracy movement.
"If you want to pursue justice, you have to speak up for yourself and for the others," Bortz stressed.
The same pursuit permeated the American Civil Rights Movement and its epicenter in Atlanta, where the region's Jewish community, and activists like Sherry Frank, played a key role.
"There's a history of blacks and Jews marching together, dying together, registering folks to vote," Frank said.
She and longtime friend, civil rights icon John Lewis, founded Atlanta's Black Jewish Coalition in the early 1980s, around the renewal of the Voting Rights Act.
"She's been a wonderful friend, wonderful supporter, and I love her like a sister," Lewis said of Frank.
Like Lewis, Frank's involvement began decades earlier.
"There's a comfort level in Atlanta with the black and Jewish community that I don't think exists anywhere else," Frank said. "Its roots are in the Civil Rights Movement."
Also, there is a shared history of institutionalized persecution, bigotry and slavery.
"People will still pick on blacks and Jews before they pick on most other folks," Frank added. "We're still the target of people's hate and, unfortunately, that is one of the things that bind us."
The ties that bound the two cultures are many. One is the 1958 bombing of the Midtown Temple over the rabbi's relationship with Martin Luther King, Jr.
Another instance occurred in 1968, when the Jewish owner of the Atlanta Motor Hotel opened his doors to African Americans attending Dr. King's funeral. Also, Georgia lawyer Morris Abram won the landmark Supreme Court case granting equality to black voters.
Each was a step toward justice -- a theme that flows through the new National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Downtown Atlanta.
"I think that the pursuit of justice is something that we want to embody," said center Vice President of Marketing Judith Service Montier. "We want to have the community, to have the world know that the Center is a place where yes, we're seeking to give a voice to the voiceless, yes, we want to inspire and empower people, but we also want to do that in a way that enables us to pursue justice throughout the world."

This isn't a post looking for pity. I've spent the majority of my life being the biggest girl in the room--it's just a fact. My body has been picked apart by countless family members, friends, & strangers who don't even know my name. Over the years I've learned to deal with the unwanted opinions by covering up my stomach, thighs, arms, & everything in between. This post is me saying I'm done. This body has carried me for almost 20 years & I LOVE my body, even if you don't. I've spent my entire life afraid of any piece of midriff-baring clothing but guess what? This summer I'm buying all the bikinis & crop tops I want because I WOKE UP LIKE THIS & I'm not ashamed of my body anymore.

The lawyers will make sure the cop's days as an officer are over, if not worse.
This is a discussion on Ugly: Little Rock Police Officer charged with manslaughter of 15-year old car thief within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Was this Officer just over worked, under paid and frustrated at the criminal element doing their trade unimpeded? Perhaps. Probably has seen too much revolving ...
Was this Officer just over worked, under paid and frustrated at the criminal element doing their trade unimpeded? Perhaps. Probably has seen too much revolving door stuff where the perp is arrested and then bonds out to continue unabated and perhaps graduating to more serious crime.
I talk to cops where I live and they are frustrated beyond belief. They busted drug dealers in the garage apartment across the alley from my detached garage one Sunday morning in March of this year. One of them, guy named Jerry Westmoreland, had been busted in January for the same thing and then, in August, I saw his lovely face in our local newspaper busted again for the same thing. Sad to say but the only cure for Jerry is to get capped by someone and cease to exist. He doesn't appear to want to stop selling drugs and when I mention his name to Police, Sheriff Deputies or others, the just roll their eyes and laugh, they all know him and what he does. I really don't want to know what they really want to do about Mr. Westmoreland, but I have the suspicion it involves gunfire.
This 15 year old sad to say has had his career ended early in life. He didn't have to be shot and killed, but the circumstances behind it are many. We shouldn't have a revolving door to criminals and our Police Officers should not have to be so frustrated that they resort to something like this.

The lawyers will make sure the cop's days as an officer are over, if not worse.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein
"People in Arizona carry guns," said a Chandler police spokesman. "You better be careful about who you are picking on."
Breaking into my home in the middle of the night doesn't "deserve" the death penalty but the intruder has just created a situation that could easily end in his death. I wish people would stop framing the outcome of an event like this with a "didn't deserve" perspective. "Deserve" has nothing to do with it. It's called "enabling the possibility."
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
These are definitely dangerous times. Recently, in Florida, a policeman approached a teen in the early hours of the morning under suspicious circumstances, and asked him for some identification. The teen pulled a gun and shot and killed the cop. This Little Rock kid could have just as easily run the cop over and then the cop would be dead, or the kid could have pulled a gun and shot the cop. A split second is all that separates a dead teen punk from a dead cop with a family. Disarm the police and see how many cadets you have at the academy next year. There's two sides to every story. Only a gun-grabbing liberal would condemn this cop until he has his day in court. Being a cop is a tough enough job without the fear of prosecution delaying a decision that might well cost a cop his life. This smells like another Zimmerman case.
Whether or not the person got what they deserved or not should not be part of deciding if what happened was right or wrong. The only thing that matters should be the law. We do not want the Government deciding what people deserve. They should follow the law . Was it a justified self defense shoot or not?
Do the Crime accept/expect the consequences IMO.
In this case I'm on the LEOs side since their was an actual crime being committed. I don't get it, when a LEO actually abuses their position they routinely have nothing happen but when a LEO actually stops/prevents an actual crime he is charged with a crime.
Everyone has an opinion & this is just mine sorry if it offends anyone.
ALSO I don't HATE LEOs I just Hold them to a Higher Standard of the LAW & nothing anyone says will change my opinion on this

The MOmarsh InvisiMAN Blind System is their most versatile blind yet. It is the perfect accompaniment to the very popular InvisiLAB dog blind. Both can be used to hunt anywhere from dry ground to water depths of 30". Both are lightweight and have a small profile that is very easy to hide.
The InvisiMAN bridges the gap between the InvisiCHAIR which is made for vertical cover and the InvisiLAY which is for horizontal cover. This product will allow hunters to hide in most environments from dry to 30" of water depth. There is no frame on the front of the blind and there is no boot bag. These changes make the blind very easy to get in and out of, make it very easy to hide and also lightweight and portable. Padded back pack straps allow for convenient portability when hunting walk- in areas. If you are tired of buying several different blinds for multiple hunting situations, then look no further. The Invisi-Man a truly revolutionary product and the first of its kind.

As much as a date can go really well, there are also many ways to screw it up, so instead of taking a chance on a restaurant, why not play it safe at home? Take a seat on your living room rug, in front of the fireplace, surrounded by the soothing sounds of your home stereo. You might even wonder why you don't sit on the floor more often. Maybe.

More than 13,000 thousand jobs were lost in the month of September in Greece, the second worst salaried employment drop in the last 15 years, the Labor Ministry of Greece stated.
In the past years Greece has faced repeated rounds of spending cuts and tax hikes imposed by the bailout agreement with Greece's European creditors. The country's multiple rescues from the brink of bankruptcy since 2010 thanks to bailout loans have led to increasing unemployment and rising poverty, and resulted in an overall erosion of living standards.
Nearly 27.9 percent of the population could not find a job between 2009 and 2014, according to the Statistical Office of the European Union (EuroStat).
Employment has declined from 42.25 percent to 38.15 percent since last September, according to ministry statistics. Part-time employment, however, has increased by 15.46 percentage points and shift work added 7.71 percentage points, suggesting that those who cannot find full-time jobs are obliged to work fewer hours and earn less.

Hi, Is there a somewhat easier walk-through for installing TomCat ona FreeBSD unix environment? The documentation that comes with TomCat is just worthless, nothing works, everything is missing and I haven't been able to complete the first few steps of the manual. What do I need, where can I get it, how do I install it, and how do I configure it to run along with apache? I know it's in the manual, but the manual is no good to me, sorry. Is there anyone who can help me with this? Ajuus, Bop.

Re: No Sequel For The Last of Us!
With a sequel following these two I think it really has to build on everything done in the first and really add something new to the story that makes you say "Oh i see why this needed to be told" You could have the fireflies attack or word get out and have tons of groups hunting down Ellie in search for a cure but that is pretty straight forward I would throw in twists like the infection is getting worse and she could be dying throughout the game as a result.
It can't just be as straight forward of a story like this one was(until Joel strated caring for her), I think it needs even more grey area and room for you to question motives. Oh and Older Ellie(just a year or two) and Co Op campaign. I think it would be great but thats just me.

- 2 x SATA 150 + 1 x ATA 133 Internal Connectors
Great Price, does the job for home backup. 03/24/2009
This review is from: SYBA SY-VIA-150R PCI SATA / IDE Combo RAID Controller Card
Easy to install and use and the instructions were pretty good. Price was great for a simple RAID card.
HDD light doesn't work anymore, but who cares. I had trouble installing a new OS at the same time as this system. Since I was doing RAID 1. The workaround was to simply install it on one drive then mirror the other.
Other Thoughts:
This is perfect for someone who justs wants RAID on their desktop computer. I put it on my 4 year old Sony VAIO and with 2 1TB hard drives. If you are wondering about the price differences between this on the other RAID controllers, the reason is that this is more for a home desktop environment and can't do fancy RAID 5, or handle more than 2 drives in RAID. But for me this was perfect.

A SENIOR Labour figure yesterday refused to deny that party leader Ed Miliband was a millionaire.
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander dodged questions about Mr Miliband's personal wealth.
It came days after Mr Miliband sneered at David Cameron's cash and Eton schooling while trumpeting his own comprehensive roots.
The Labour leader, who earns more than £130,000 a year, lives in a North London house worth at least £2million.
He claimed the PM would benefit from the "millionaire's tax cut" after the 50p rate on earnings over £150,000 was slashed to 45p.
Mr Alexander said: "My understanding is that, unlike David Cameron, he does not have additional income that will take him over the threshold."

Rantz House Youth Institution, London, England
Hey Chelsea,
Apparently I have a one hundred word limit on all letters I send to you at Rantz, so I'll make this short and sweet. I'm getting married to Jemima. I wish you could come to the wedding, but I guess you're not aloud to leave the Rantz grounds until you show "significant improvement". Ah well. Chrisy and Ellen are coming, and then Jemima and I are moving to a much smaller town called Shafford in New Jersey. I'll send you my new address.

2nd place: Michael Young, Richards Butler
3rd place: Lucy McCullagh, White & Case
Shortlisted: Mark Cranwell, Coudert Brothers; Rosali Pretorius, Denton Wilde Sapte; Alethea Siow, Dechert
The winner of the Assistant Solicitor of the Year Award, sponsored by deaconwinehouse, is Tom Cassels of Baker & McKenzie, a rising star in commercial litigation and public law.
Cassels played a pivotal role in the team led by partner David Fraser which triumphed on behalf of Camelot against the National Lottery Commission. Not only was he instrumental in getting Baker & McKenzie instructed by Camelot in the first place, but quick thinking and a cool head allowed him to take on the brunt of one of the highest profile judicial reviews of 2000. He mobilised the team that spent most of the next two days devising Camelot's strategy for its successful challenge – a strategy which required a keen awareness of media as well as legal deadlines. It is this, as well as an all-round commitment to the law in both internal education and pro bono work, that makes him a deserved winner of this award.
In second place is Michael Young of Richards Butler, a two year-qualified lawyer who is mature beyond his experience. He played a key part in a number of major deals last year, notably the Direct Line acquisition of Green Flag Group by way of auction bid. In that deal his commitment was above and beyond the call of duty, working as he did right up to the day before his wedding. He was also involved in the reorganisation of MTV's business interests in Italy and two AIM admissions, which involved client-handling on a senior level. Young has clearly won the respect of clients and peers alike, and his will be a name to watch.
Third place goes to Lucy McCullagh of White & Case, who joined the Moscow office of the firm in October 1998. Having transferred to London in March 2000, she developed a pro bono programme for the London office from scratch. She also became a founding member of an associates' committee, which has instituted a buddy system for new lawyers and the creation of a new associate career development model.

No Foul Language
How do you say bad things without saying bad words?
What creative phrase of art
do you often use
when mild words you must impart
to fling a curse out like a dart
or describe a lurid body part
and no gentle ear abuse?
'Number two' is standard as a rule
others say 'drop a deuce'
or 'letting the kids off at the pool'
'floating a log' is also cool
still others refer to expelling stool
as 'turning a brown weasel loose'.
'Bumping uglies' is a phrase
to describe a romantic act.
'Horizontal mambo' will also relay
dancing between sheets in amorous play.
There must be a million ways to convey
making the beast that has two backs.
Honk on Bobo, bite the big one,
eat my banana too.
Bobbing for sausages sounds pretty fun,
spit-shine my doorknob before you're done,
play my skin flute then I've got to run,
when I point down, you know what to do.
These are a few of the humorous sayings
we use to say what we can't
and if you're offended I'm honestly praying
you'll forgive the crassness of thoughts I'm conveying
I'm just having fun with a word-game and playing
around with a poetic rant.
