Her eyes were clean like water, plane like mirrors, and icy- shining
reflectants, with a touch of bitterness revealing the angryness in her
mood, but he was madly in love with the unpityful brightness of this
sort of sight.
Never mind if she was so tough- girl with a rebellious attitude towards AD Police; never mind if she was completely reluctant when he spoke to her; never mind if he was constantly rejected by her: she was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, the ' thing of beauty' he was dreamt of in all of his life, a life of a dedicated, frustrated special- crimes inspector, a pathetic, poor single- man' s life, with no beloved woman in it.
But, in despise of an adverse, ironic Fate, he was hoping in her to build a future together.
And, in truth, despite her external coldness, he knew that she was a caring person inside: once, he noticed her near the boardwalk playing with a wild kitten, which was trusting her without any fear; and she loved children, and she sent roses to her friends even only for greetings them to have done little tendernesses in her regards.
No questions: all of this touched him in an intense, eerie way.
Leon McNichol wasn't never rid of listening to her sensuous voice: her last album, ' Mad Machine' was a real masterpiece who has projected Priss and 'The Replicants' rock- band in the universe of the stars, and she was having a carreer, a great one, a good real, real good, as he could see in specialized magazines and recently also in the newspapers.
But her voice on a track- record was all he could reach or, at least, so he thought.
Twilight was passed, leaving only big visions of the architectural soul of the metropolis: evening felt down, revealing a sour obscurity lightened by artificial lights.
Leon was driving in the main road, the city was glittering in the darkness, quiet and silent, the Genom Tower standing imponent in its coldness, an industrial vision of what cyber- genetics could do in good an evil, every skyscraper luminous and perfect in the purity of the balanced streamliness, concealing the human trash and the cyberpunk who afflicted the developed society.
But MegaTokyo that night seemed quite a normal city, no Boomers' messing around, no hightly- sophisticated robots born to serve and kill, so he could collect himself, and thinking to his own problems, and his own heartache.
There was no chance for Leon to invite Priss to go out with him: every time it seemed they were destined by chance to cross their paths, but after a while she soflty slipped away from him, with no reason, in the lights of the night, under the boardwalk, maybe in infamous shooting galleries going among junk people, or escaping in the squalor of an abandoned underground, or even alone on a lonely motorbike, pointing at the desolation of Aqua City, the Tokyo bay where polluted water brought trashery from a black, dead ocean.
This wasn' t normal for a girl, except if she was… a bioroid.
After all, this is the epoch of the artificial intelligence, he thought, frantically, pondering the hypothesis.
No, that' impossibile, murmured then, rejecting vehemently that abstruse concept, that mad idea floating in his brain.
She was human, 100% human being.
Her strangeness was depending on other circumstances, he was sure of it: even if she was having success, she remained a wild child at heart, an extravagant creature closer to ethereal, aiming dark atmospheres, visiting strange, sinister people, wandering down- town better than uptown.
Oh, my sweetheart, Leon breathened, and began searching for the ruined pack of Luke Strikes in his leather- jacket' s pocket.
Priss was different in her special manner from every other girl he had ever met, so mysterious, so evanescent, so strong and frail in the same line, with no words and a handful of unspoken secrets which were covered by a veil of spotty fogg.
And simply she was so London- like, the quintessence of the weird, with such an eccentric aplomb, very distant from everything except her own interests.
She was such a girl, thought Leon in his inner, and shook his head: no way she could change, no way for him to arrive in Priss' twilighty, alluring world.
Driving quietly, he was maybe hoping to see her motorbike surpassing him in excess of limits, only to have the excuse to chase her, to stop her… to talk to her.
There had been too much misanderstandings between them.
Strange, those feelings… Leon never expected to have such a crush in someone so difficult to reach.
But he was strangely calm: he has learnt to watch after her in a special manner, without forcing events.
And, maybe, this could be the way to obtain faith from her, and win her proud, suspicious heart.
He remembered her gentle feminine features, who he had immediately appreciated, her artistical gestures, her body which was to die for, the seraphic glimpse of her cat-like eyes: and took another breath, be patient, man, he said sadly to himself, you can' t manage this thing only rushing into her life… or she will feel danger, and she will become berserk.
Oh, he was so sick of waiting for the right moment to arrive.
He has dreamt of her a lot of times: and he was never able to see the end of the dream.
He lighted the cigarette, changed music, listening to a sort of heavy- metal band which he knew the male leader: how many times has Evil Lancelor said to him ' Change perspective!'? How many times Daley Wong, his collegue, said to him ' You cause yourself in thinking to that girl… find another more simpler to understand.'?
But no, he wasn't able to change his mind: he knew he was jealous even of Priss' past, he has never enough to take informations on her, and fortunately Nene Romanova wasn' t the person who deserved this to him.
Nene was one of the best friends of Priss, but less- conscious of Priss' complex behaviour.
' Why is she so rude with me?' Leon wonders, but there was no evident answer to him, apart of the difference of her way of life… and the brutal wounds of her soul, which he didn't know, ' cause she was too hermetic to reveal herself to someone she wasn't trusting at all.
Infact, Priss had no faith in Leon at all, and he smelled this with a sort of inner pain.
' Are you sure you can comfort her, man?' Daley said once, and he wasn't able to answer a secure yes: he was a simple man, nor an intellectual, nor a psychologist, not the man who could be perceptive on feelings and emotions of a so strange girl.
Man, it' s a lost battle, he thought again, struggling in the muddy paludes of his heart: she was lost, lost, and never found… she was gone for good… he felt like he couldn' t have seen her again.
The city was lying ahead, skyscrapers and big visions of a vulnerable future seemed to show monuments to human power and costant loneliness: Leon stopped the AD Police patrol car near the road, on a parking place, and took a deep breath: he wanted to change CD, the only thing who could cancel his exile was Priss' voice, the bittersweet symphony of her melancholic, cyber- gothic art.
He came back before the first lights of dawn. Opened the door, entered
the dark waiting- room, looked at the gorgeous Danish- dog sleeping on
the couch. His life was always in such a way: work, work, work, then
home, then having an escort- preferably a bioroid with no feelings to
hurt- to live the illusion of a normal sexual life, then
listening to silly friends and superficial people.
Man, what a mess, he thought, yawning, while the boots were trashed away in the corner: his flat was abandoned and trashy, cans of beer on the floor, men' s magazine impiled on a chair, half- ratty clothes all around. All abandoned and trashy, like him.
And cold, he suggested to himself, cold as a crypt, as if living people never enter it.
He barely noticed the sheets of his bed wrapped around the weights he used for exercising his muscles. He took off the shirt, posed the gun, jumped on the flex, and suddenly all the tireness of a distressing night ran through his arms and legs.
Fortunately, for two days he was off- duty, ' cause working by night was like living in a false biorithm.
Far, so far from him, the vague noize of a plane which was leaving the airport reported to him the melancholy of the travel: when he was younger, he had a frenzy to live around the world.
Then, growing, he discovered with a hint of frustration that his world was all there, in that sultry city.
He wonders if Priss was on that distant plane, or waiting at the gate with her passport in hand and her group at her side: in five days The Replicants started the European Tour, and she was returning in her beloved UK, where some voices murmured she was planning to remain… he had read an interview she had released where she stated she needed to escape from sadness of her life, and reconstruct a future on a neutral territory, but she didn't intend to explain the reason she wanted to quit Tokyo.
Leon felt the old sensation of a little painful bit in his soul.
Ah, this life… my life… my life is empty and hollow…
Eyes were slowly closing, forces were flying down, and all the rational thoughts were rushing in a cloud of sleep.
Ah, Priss… come to me, if only you could be mine, even for a while… Priss…
Last image in Leon' s mind was a hauntingly beautiful, painstakingly cover of British Vogue on the front wall, were a marvellous young model, dressed in white and long, was watching him with a hint of lust in her mid- open lips, dreams of love in her tantalizing, icy- shining eyes.
Before giving herself to music, she was a model.
A successful one, in truth: but she suffered the absence of her proper voice.
She was only a beautiful image, fixed up in glamourous glossy pages: she was highly paid to strike the poses, highly paid to look in the camera, highly paid to be simply ' Superbe! Divine!', as the french couturiers were used to say when she was in Paris to model the collections.
Priss led the good life in the fast lane before having the age to understand what' s real and what' s not.
But baby- models don't think, they aren't paid to claim a stop and focus on their too easy bucks, or voltures around: skin is excellent at underage, and fifteen- sixteen years old come once in life.
So, live fast, ' cause it won' t last, sang a vintage Seventies song of Blondie: and Priss did it, ' I' m sure one day you will be The Next Big Thing', sadly said her friend Johanna when Priss received the invitation to visit a major agent in London.
Priss felt sorry for her: she was sure Johanna wanted to be herself among all them glittering, but she wasn't pretty enough.
So, Priss had to left her behind: ' You have got the right face, the right body, the right look, and this ' don't give a shit' attitude that costs a month' s rent in a luxury flat near Bond Street', said the little gay talent- scout who discovered her while she was rushing in a tash- market in Rotterdam, during a brief holiday.
In six months, she had graced the cover of British Vogue twice, British Elle once, and Harper's quite at every new issue.
She was the face for My Dior's advertising campaign, the body for John Galliano's couture house, the shack, voluptuous image for every visionary photographer with enough romantic nightmares in his head to make a film only on her special ahura.
She was, definitely, a state of Art, but she wasn't the Artist. She was The Creature, but she wasn't The Creator.
No cleverness, nor intellectual efforts in what she was doing: she needed to be simply perfect.
Shut up and smile.
This, she got on and on for five years or so.
Then, things started to change.
In the beginning she became erratic, and frantically the fashion world is built on simple norms: be strange if you want to set a trend, be strange the necessary to construct a dream and to sell out a product, but don' t be so strange to subvert the frail equilibrium which is the base of an ephemeral business- and, on the long distance, discontinous efforts in works can create a damage in fashion, even if you have got this extraordinary look, and you are this extraordinary girl, as all the people who support your well- paid job are well- inclined to say.
Then, time passed, and she was pissed of the biz: more happily she exchanged cool parties with grunge or metal events; she made friends more among freaks, poets, musicians and outsiders in politics than among the politically correct upper class; she stopped to wear Valentino or Neiman Marcus' outfits to convert her wardrobe into a more dark, gothic- like personality; she mixed with nonchalance cool and trash, and her behaviour also changed, bringing her into a sort of sinister coldness, and she became acting in an umpredictable, bitchy way.
Her last period under the glitters of runaways was remembered by her desolated booker like the ' terrifying days of this dishonorable punkish debauchery, or something similar'; and when she quitted, nobody remembered her name, except if it was paired with the euphemism of ' that gothic- model', a lithe term designed only to conceal the disgust she had created among the capricious, snobbish world of the catwalks.
But for then, she was gone, leaving all the nuisance of the bad chattings and the vacuum of the field to the young stars who were raising behind her; and naturally all her fatty cachets vanished in a whirl of changed wind, and she was suddenly, from a day to another, a simple next- door' s girl, with no stylish make- up on her icy eyes or perfect lady- like hairdos: the ephemeral, sustained fabulousness in which she had lived for five years was gone, totally an has- been experience lost in the foggy- cloud of high- style souvenirs.
Leon woke- up three hours later. He was destroyed, so he wasn' t able to relax and sleep.
The siren of a patrol car was urgently hurling in the long distance.
The city was rage- aholic as usual, caos and silence, crisis and biz, crime and police fighting in the human madness; the futuristic chic of a cybergoth vision of the metropolis he had appreciated during the night was vanished in the air like magic, leaving only the tom tom of an early trafficked wake- up.
He gave himself a fast shower, reached the kitchen covered only by a towel, searched for a cold, instant coffee to warm up, looked at himself in a little broken mirror, and saw his clumsy, grey- coloured face, as if thin ashes of the polluted atmosphere has congestioned permanently his underskin tone.
He looked like he had grown into it, in some way: he wasn't changed much from twenty yrs old to thirty- five, even if his features were distressed by the terrifying life he led, and in certain mornings he wasn' t able to recognize his proper image.
He had done another dream on Priss.
It was exhausting, but in some way, when he dreamt of her, he had the illusion she was there, in the flesh, and suddenly touching the prize could be real.
He pressed the button of the stereo, listening to a sad symphony played by Vangelis.
Leon was relieved to be single, he was too much attached to his own freedom. But, strangely, that girl appeared in his dreams like a melancholic spirit who needed to be rescued from such a past, and he wasn't able to escape to this temptation.
' Rachel' s Song' was in a certain way linked to the frail, spirited ahura Priss had around her.
Coffee was murmuring in the moka. Leon took a cup and became drinking it, reading the newspaper: in the Entertainment pages they were reporting Priss' tour as one of the major shows of the season.
Then, while reading, he remembered the strange dream he had just done.
The tall, gorgeous woman dressed in black was watching under their
Valentino's aviator- sunglasses the AD Police drug- section
bringing out of the gate a drug dealer who had eaten five kilos of
pillols with cocaine in them. Dogs were barking against this
apparently- normal type, and agents were stopping the curious people
around, while the inspector was scribbling down a report on the crime
The woman looked like a dark, but a sophisticated one: she was waiting for a little breakfast before dawn, until she hadn' t left Tokyo.
She was sure the inspector was an old acquaintance to her.
The guitarist of her group came next and sit down, while the others were ordering black, strong coffees and still- hot plum cakes.
Noises of glasses and cups, people walking with their trolleys on the floor, everyone with his own business, announces of the speakers camping in the hall: while the city was still sleeping, the airport lived its own atemporal life, subverting day and night.
' Morning papers, Priss', the guitarist said briskly, ' Hey hey hey. All the tabloids and magazines are just babbling about us…look at ' Rolling Stones', they confess to have had a special interview from us…'
He allonged the papers to Priss, but she took them without answering.
She was looking at the inspector, she knew his name… if she only could remember…
The bassist came also, already smoking in a so early hour.
' Can't you take a sandwich, for instance?'asked the guitarist, looking at ' no smoking' advices in good vision above them.
' Before leaving I need nicotine, I can' t resist all that turn- over of hours in pressurized cabin…'
He began murmuring with the guitarist, looking at the articles, commenting caustically, ' all this bullshits… no, no… no reason to write this… let our manager see this, and they will have an entire bunch of lawyers suing 'em…'
The inspector not too far was having a discussion with the captain of the section, ' I told you he was already put under control, we had some anonymous segnalations he was involved in an illegal traffic of body- parts for bioroids… Sexaroids, I think… that case was in Leon' s hands, but got nothing, ' cause we didn' t find any proof… we must call him to have the number of the practice…'
' Daley Wong!' she suddenly said, remebering that face; the other components of the band, who were reaching them, looked at her with interest.
' You know someone?' asked the drum player, looking around the hall, bringing with him her coffee in hand.
' Hang on a sec', she answered, and standing up she walked the distance between her and the inspector.
' Hey, what the hell, she' s hooking with that gay- type there?'asked the drum player giving a disgusted glance to the feminine attitude of Daley Wong, and the bassist made a strange noise with his pierced nose,
' She has always some moronic gay artist or designer to greet, ya know… drink your coffee, and give me hers, I don't believe she want it anymore.'
She came closer.
' Daley Wong', she said with a deep, quite apologizing undertone in her precious voice, ' Sorry for the disturb…'
Inspector Wong turned to see the young woman who called him by name, and suddenly the main page of a specialized music magazine came to his mind.
She was ' The' Priss.
' Priss! You are Priss of…'
' Please,' she prayed, with such an attitude, ' I' m in incognito…'
' Of course.'
There was nothing Daley Wong had to say to this strange creature, except that Leon had all the kind of photos of her on his confused, messed- up office desk; that had a glorified version of her when she was a model in his bedroom; that had put her on the screen of his computer; and wasn' t able to stop talking about her when he was off- duty.
' I need to have an information, if you can handle it to me…'
Daley Wong had the strange impression Priss was blushing under the sunglasses which, despise the turquoise, foggy- lens, couldn' t conceal at all her cat- like eyes with long long long trembling cils.
There was no homosexuality which could misunderstand Daley from seeing why Leon was so reluctant to forget this girl.
' If I can, surely', he said briefly.
' I need to know… about… that woman… Raven… you know what I mean…'
Surely, he knew. Raven was the Boomeroid, half organic half mechanic, which has lived with Leon for a little period before going berserk and being retired, as the police called all the operations linked to the destruction of Boomers and Boomeroids.
Daley felt the pain in the question, and the weight to answer.
It could be a tattletale, but also the truth.
' Y' know… ehm… Boomeroid… artificial women… don' t escape as… as real women… and it' s much simpler to avoid to take care of them… and to break with them, if things goes out of hand… It is sad to say, but… can you figure it out? The ideal solution for a man who doesn' t want to settle down with a woman, but doesn't want to remain all alone in the same… Sexaroid Boomers have no human feelings.', he finished harshly, performing a forced smile, quite in apologize for his own friend and collegue.
In what way was possible to tell her Leon was in love, but unable to share it to her?
It was a gift, or a gain, to have the bravery to live life at full trottle, and maybe Leon had courage only in his job.
In Priss' water- clean stare, a diamond' s tear floated for a single moment, or Daley believed to see it; then, the reflect of the ice passed on, and she became jaded.
Daley Wong could feel the coldness emanating from her suddenly nordic ahura, and made a step behind.
And so, he thoughts, she is The Priss, the Top Model, the Singer, but definetely the Last Diva of the Millennium, so starry- distant from humans and so sideral- looking, so perfect and so icy and so… horribly sad.
' I' m sorry…'
He felt the needing of bubbling an apology, and he didn't know why: it was Leon' s fault, not his.
' Thank you', she answered seraphically, before being reached by her companions.
The Replicants weren' t alone, an average man who Daley knew as the agent of the group talked to her:
' The gate is open, we have to wait for the check- in, don' t forget the fly, Gigi.'
Daley Wong saw the band, strictly under incognito behind dark sunglasses and vynil- trench- coats, making circle around her, the most reknown of the group, and walking through the hall, direction Gate 5 for European flies.
He snorted, shaking his head. This wouldn' t be good for Leon.
After the coffee, the phone rang.
' Leon, it' s me, Daley… this night, before dawn, we have found the drug dealer who was also under suspicion of recycling body- parts for illegal assemblation of Boomers…'
' Where was it?'
' At the airport… he was trying to exit the country… maybe it was not only drug… come to the General Inspector, when you can.'
Daley Wong stopped, remaining in stand- by modality for some seconds. Leon too seemed fixed in denial.
' Ehm… Leon?'
' I' m here.'
' Yes. I saw another thing… Priss with the group.'
' Yes.'
'… She… she has gone. I don' t think she will come back. '
Leon breathened hardly, and closed his eyes. Daley waited for a sec, then, listening a loud sigh of regret, slowly picked up the phone.
It was non- sense when, after some days, the international press
reported the tragic notice of a famous model- turned- singer that, high
on barbiturics and gin, flied down from the terrace of the Palace Hotel
in London leaving all her fans stunned and upset.
It was more non- sense that, the same day the press released the news about the Star who fell down like a suicidal angel, Daley Wong found his collegue Leon McNichol shooted on the floor, gun in hand.
It was put in AD Police data- base as a suicide.

Bleach: Expeditionary ForceMature
A Bleach fan fic, about soul reapers
Shazu hated residing in a gigai but because of recent events it couldn't be avoided. His leader was eaten by a hollow a week ago along with a few other members of this expeditionaryforce. Shazu had become a Kendo instructor so he could support himself in the world of the living which made things, so much easier. He only had to teach for three hours, and spend the rest of his time on the look out for hollows. Today so far had been quiet no appearances of any hollows so far, but he didn't think that would last to long.
As he waited Shazu made his way up a hill towards a park named Triway park. It was relatively quite there throughout the day, and the others didn't know about his little safe haven away from everyone. Lately he had been going there a lot lately, he always wanted to lead his own group, but he never expected to be doing so because the leader was killed. Not only that he had become the centrepiece of hope, he had to lead these guys through. He was responsible for all of their lives. He knew they needed back up but the soul society wasn't in the slightest bit interested in giving them any at this particular time. So it was down to him, and each day these hollows seemed to get stronger.
As Shazu sat down the soul phone rang from one of the others. He dutifully ignored, as he sensed a big spirit pressure nearing. The phone started to beep rapidly.
"I know, I know!" He turning it off and putting one of those artificial soul pill, that would take care of the gigai for the time he was out fighting the hollow. Within a second his shinigami ( soul reaper form was pushed away from his body) Wearing a black sleeveless kosode revealing the dark coloured fifteen on his right Bicep, and a large sword worn on his back differing from the usual soul reapers unreleased zanpakuto. He turned around with an annoyed look on his face.
"You! You stay here, you don't talk, at all, pretend your sleeping or deaf. I don't care just don't say anything or move! Got it!" He yelled at his gigai who was now hosting a goofy smile, and was dancing on one foot. Why couldn't those think tanks in squad 12 develop an artificial soul that wasn't annoying,or retarded or both?
"Yes sir!" It said seriously with a salute.
"Good if you so much as move to the next bench I will crush you!" He yelled, before taking off towards the large spirit pressure. By now he could feel the others spirit pressures but he was the closest one to the Hollow, knowing he was going to be meeting one of the soul reaper eating hollows he prepared himself by going to Shikai immediately.
"Destroy Hikemmakaze!" An exploding noise was made as the sword grew in length, and width as well as lighting up in a blue fire. A hole appeared near the hilt where it became serrated and swirled around with wind and fire. The whole entire right side of of the blade became serrated as well. His own spiritual pressure began to rise drawing the attention of the house sized hollow ahead.
The hollow charged towards him and opened up its fist revealing a beam of purple condensed spiritual energy. Shazu didn't even bother stepping out of the way as he brought his sword up stopping the flow of energy and actually in the process as he swung reversing it causing the hollow stagger backwards. It was strong but if that was it's strongest attack their was no point even going to shikai. Shazu thought as he flashed stepped forwards, and hit the monster white mask head on. It cracked a little but Shazu underestimated his opponent.
More spiritual purple spiritual pressure gathered around the hollow. Shazu pulled back but the hollow was suddenly faster, and managed to smack him down to the ground with tremendous force. Shazu recovered quickly that wasn't going to take him down easily, but it did catch him by surprise.
He jumped forwards reaching the hollows height,"Grind." He commanded as a ghostly blue image of the the serrated side of his blade shot down cutting the hollows shoulder as well as streak of flame exploding at hits feet. It howled in pain, just as Shazu made a second attempt at the hollows mask. Attacking the hollows head and mask was the simplest way of killing them but sometimes the hardest. This time he managed to make a crack but he didn't hit deep enough. Orange spiritual energy gathered around him.
"Flamegrind!" He commanded this time the blue flames turned a deep orange and made a vertical line down the hollow, obviously irritating it has it yelled. A small explosion occurred and a lot of blood flew into the air. The hollow was finished and began to disintegrate into the air. It had large amounts of spiritual pressure, but for some reason it didn't maintain that level for long.
"Whatever mission accomplished for now." Shazu said putting his hand over Hikemmakaze turning it back to its original state.

Supreme Court Roundup; Justices to Review Rights Law's Use
By LINDA GREENHOUSE, Special to The New York Times
Published: February 26, 1991
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25— The Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether a Reconstruction-era civil rights statute intended as a legal weapon against the Ku Klux Klan can be the basis for Federal court orders to keep abortion opponents from blocking entrances to abortion clinics.
In more than two dozen cases around the country, abortion clinics and abortion rights organizations have successfully invoked the law, a part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, to get court orders barring the blockades and other protest techniques used by Operation Rescue and other anti-abortion groups.
The 1871 law provides that people who "conspire" to deprive "any person or class of persons" of their civil rights can be sued in Federal court for damages or an injunction. Disagreement Over Scope
The Supreme Court has wrestled for years over how broadly to interpret the statute, suggesting at times that Congress intended only to protect blacks from conspiracies motivated by racial prejudice, and at other times that women might also be able to invoke the law against conspiracies motivated by sex discrimination. Lower courts have also disagreed over the scope of the statute.
The case accepted by the Court today is an appeal by Operation Rescue from a ruling last September by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, in Richmond.
The appeals court upheld an injunction that a Federal district judge had issued, based on the Ku Klux Klan Act, on behalf of a group of abortion clinics in Northern Virginia. The injunction barred members of Operation Rescue from trespassing on the clinics' property and from blocking people entering or leaving the buildings.
The Supreme Court's abortion precedents are not directly at issue in this case. The lower courts based their rulings not on the constitutional right to an abortion but on the right to interstate travel, which a 1971 Supreme Court decision found was explicitly protected by the Ku Klux Klan Act.
The lower courts found that because a substantial number of the clinics' patients came from outside Virginia, blockades threatened by Operation Rescue would have the effect of violating the women's constitutional right to travel. Injunctions in Effect
The clinics, along with the National Organization for Women and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, sought the injunction in the fall of 1989 after Operation Rescue announced plans to try to close down clinics in the Washington area in two weekends of demonstrations. Clinics in the District of Columbia and suburban Maryland obtained similar injunctions, all of which remain in effect.
Abortion clinics have also used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to counter Operation Rescue's activities. The Supreme Court declined in 1989 to hear a challenge to the use of the RICO law, and the issue remains unresolved. It is not a factor in the case the Court accepted today, Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic, No. 90-985. The case will be argued next fall.
Alison Wetherfield, a lawyer for the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund Inc., which represents the Virginia clinics, said today that for a variety of procedural reasons the Ku Klux Klan Act was substantially more useful for her clients around the country than the RICO law. She also noted that if the Supreme Court curbed the use of the Ku Klux Klan Act clinics in many cases would be able to use state trespass laws for much the same purposes.
These were among the other developments at the Court today: Runoff Primaries
The Court declined to hear a Voting Rights Act case from Arkansas challenging the requirement that candidates for party nominations participate in a runoff primary if no one receives a majority vote in the initial election.
The case, Whitfield v. Clinton, No. 90-383, was an appeal by a group of black voters in Phillips County, Ark., who had brought an unsuccessful challenge to the runoff requirement. Primary runoff requirements are common in the South, and have been a subject of increasing dispute. The Court may simply have deferred the issue today and might well accept a future case to decide whether runoffs are barred by the Voting Rights Act.
Last year, the Justice Department brought a lawsuit challenging majority vote requirements in Georgia. The department urged the Justices in the case today to wait until more lower courts had examined the issue. Right to a Speedy Trial
The Court agreed to decide whether an eight-year delay between the indictment and arrest of a man on Federal charges of conspiring to import cocaine violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
The case is an appeal by the man, Marc Doggett, who pleaded guilty in 1988 after a Federal district judge in Florida refused to dismiss the eight-year-old indictment. The United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, also rejected Mr. Doggett's challenge to the indictment.
The appeals court found that he had suffered no injury from the delay because, through the Federal Government's negligence in not finding him, he was never aware that he was being sought for prosecution.
Mr. Doggett, who was in Colombia when he was indicted, was eventually arrested at his home in Reston, Va. One question for the Justices in his appeal, Doggett v. U.S., No. 90-857, is the degree of harm that a criminal defendant must show in order to prevail in a speedy trial challenge to an indictment.

Her dusty black hair fell over her pale face, blanketing the bluest eyes. Clutching her books to her chest, she continued walking through, until someone kicked their leg out in front of her. She couldn't see, and fell. Everyone began laughing. She quickly pulled herself up, pretending again, that nothing had happened. Trying to be emotionless, but really, she was crying inside.. Yelling for help, but they never come. This was Sophie.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is disappointed with the failure of the Supreme Court to rehear the case on the President's relief programs for undocumented immigrants.
On Monday, the Supreme Court denied the President's request for a rehearing on his immigrant relief programs that would have expanded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA+) program and created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program. This decision follows a 4-4 decision this past June that upheld a lower court's stop to the programs.
"Immigration reform is among the most important issues of our time, yet the Supreme Court has treated this case with routine disregard and ultimately failed to step in when their voice was needed," said Leslie Moe-Kaiser, OCA National President. "As some of the most vulnerable individuals in America today, undocumented immigrants are still in dire need of relief from our nation's failed immigration policies that seek to deport them and destroy their lives. President Obama's executive action programs would have provided this relief, but due to judicial obstruction at every level, the implementation of these programs has been stopped. This latest instance of obstruction is simply a continuation of the many failures of our judicial system to promote fairness and justice for immigrants."
This latest development does not impact the original DACA program, now in its fourth year. That program continues to provide temporary work permits and relief from deportation to immigrants brought to this country as children. For more information on how to apply, please visit USCIS.gov.
OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is a national organization of community advocates dedicated to improving the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans (APAs).

- - O' Day 25 vs Catalina 25 (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/76327-o-day-25-vs-catalina-25-a.html)
O' Day 25 vs Catalina 25
OK, so a place near me has an 1982 O'Day 25 and a 1980 Catalina 25. Both with centerboards and trailers. They have comparable equipment & price. This size and trailerable is something I am interested in. So that being said, what are the differences in sailing these two boats? Mast stepping ease would be nice to know as well. Anything anyone has had experience with would be great. The obvious inspection issues aside. Also, not being cranky but, please don't suggest some other type of boat to look at too.;) There are not a lot for sale here in MN and the surounding area and these are what I am interested in. These are what are available for what I want in a boat.
These boats are both made by reputable production manufacturer's I would go with whatever boat is in better condition or whichever has the best price. I would say that they are so similar in build quality that most of the details point out will be minor. I have never been on the oday, but have been on a catalina 25 several times and it was a great boat.
Consider this: the Catalina has an installed base of more than 7,000. The manufacturer is still in business. There are a few parts suppliers who do nothing but specialize in the brand (viz. Catalina Direct in Sacramento).
Own an older boat for a few years and you'll see that parts availability can be an issue.

Forex Notes ? Poor European Retail Sales and German Factory Orders
European retail sales for the month of April fell faster than expected, coming out -1.0% when economists had forecast a -0.1% reading. This comes after a 0.3% reading in March.
German Factory Orders for April also disappointed, with a -1.9% reading disappointing forecast of already a -1.0% showing. This comes after a 3.2% reading for March, which was revised up from 2.2%.
The poor data combined with the Eurozone's inability to come up with a bank crisis solution killed the brief Euro rally that started the week. The EUR/USD fell from 1.2540 down toward 1.24 in the 6/5 US session. The EUR/GBP fell sharply from the 0.8140 level back below 0.81.

Chapter 17.2Mature
Beth laughed before falling silent again. "I..." Beth swallowed. "I'm choosing you, Robert."
He didn't say anything, so Beth looked up at him.
"You're joking, aren't you?" he asked suspiciously, his eyes narrowed.
Beth turned to face him fully. "No, Robert, I'm not joking. I choose you."
Beth wasn't quite sure when she'd decided that it was Robert she wanted. He watched her face for a moment, before kissing her with such intensity and passion. The fierce panther inside of him had been released.
Robert's fingers ran all along her arms before holding onto her upper arms. Beth didn't even notice the force with which he was holding her. As she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself closer to him, his hands slipped down her sides to her waist.
Beth could feel the sharpness of his teeth and had an idea. She purposefully caught her bottom lip against his canine. It began to bleed, the blood flowing straight into Robert's mouth. Instinctively, he began to suck. His grip on Beth's hips tightened.
Beth tipped her head back and she didn't even feel it when Robert bit her neck. Beth began to feel lightheaded from the delight she was feeling. Her heart was racing, her breathing was shallow, and she never wanted the moment to end. But it did when she heard the front door close downstairs. Beth panicked and pushed Robert away. He let himself be pushed.
"Don't worry, it's just Alicia," he whispered to her.
"One of the maids."
"At five o'clock in the morning?"
Robert shrugged. "They choose their own hours."
"Do they know about vampires?"
"Of course."
Beth sat still for a moment before bringing his lips back down to hers. She melted into him completely. He planted kisses along her jaw line to her ear.
"I think I love you, Beth," he whispered.
"I love you too," she replied, so quietly that she could hardly hear herself, but she knew he would hear her.
The words came to her so easily, yet she knew they were true. She'd never felt like this about anyone before, not even Alex. Beth suddenly realised that she needed to break up with him. She was terrible at break ups and she very much doubted that, at any point, Alex would say, "I understand."
"He's not that bad," Robert said quietly, hearing her thoughts. "He never has been."
"How do you know?"
"He used to be my best friend, remember?"
Robert pulled away from her and sat back. Beth tucked herself under his arm.
"So, what do you want to do today?" he asked her.
"Um... Kiss you all day," Beth said, looking up at him.
Robert laughed and gave her a kiss, his lips lingering on hers. "I meant, when do you want to go home?"
"I'd be more than happy to oblige, but your parents wouldn't."
Beth pouted, pretending to sulk. She laughed and thought for a moment. "I just want to stay here with you, until this afternoon. I can make up an excuse."
"Let's do that then."

Cold Classrooms at Ft. White
Published January 12th, 2010
Loading Video...
Broken heaters were repaired in a Columbia county elementary school last week, but some kids say its still too cold; and now their parents are getting involved.
Ft. White principal Wanda Conner says the school's heaters were not working last week-but were fixed right away.
Conner says the temperatures of the rooms are in the mid-60's, however some parents are saying that's still too cold. The Department of Health's heating standards requires that classroom heaters be capable of reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Superintendent Mike Millikin says the school board is doing everything to keep the rooms warm during these unusually cold days.

Melissa and Todd were married at Cherry Creek Ranch in Young, Ariz. on April 26. Melissa looked radiant in a v-neck gown with a ruffled back and romantic bow. She wore her hair in a side swept curly ponytail and carried a bouquet of blush roses, succulents, and Queen Anne's lace. The groom looked handsome in a tan three-piece suit with a mint tie and a feather boutonniere. The pair tied the knot in front of just 50 guests in a barn on Cherry Creek Ranch. "We decided to get married there after doing one of their cattle drives and eating some of the most delicious prime rib we'd ever had," Melissa said. Guests sat in white folding chairs as the pair exchanged vows in front of a hay wall and a rustic arch made of antlers, gauze, and flowers. The ceremony featured an adorable ring bearer in a khaki suit and a flower girl in a pink tulle dress. The newlyweds rode off into the sunset on horses after they'd tied the knot. "At first, I thought jumping on a horse was a crazy thing to do in a wedding dress," Melissa said. "But we were getting married on a ranch in the middle of nowhere and riding off into the sunset is how you say 'and they lived happily ever after' in the wild west."A reception followed at the lodge where guests sat at long banquet tables decorated with white linens, antlers, and boxed floral centerpieces. A game of "I Spy" was placed at each setting for friends and family to play during the reception. They feasted on stuffed chicken and prime rib for dinner, then danced to music from an Arizona country band. A mini-cake and cupcakes sat on a rustic tree slice display adorned with antlers and roses, which the guests enjoyed for dessert. Melissa has three simple rules for couples doing their wedding planning. "Don't overdo it, don't sweat the small stuff, and know when to hire a professional." See the full board here.

Lauren and Anthony were married at Cibo Urban Pizzeria Cafe in Phoenix, Arizona on April 6. The bride wore a strapless dress with a ruched bodice and a green and purple embroidered sash, her hair in relaxed curls. She carried a bouquet of succulents, mums, baby's breath and assorted greenery. Her 'maids donned green floor-length strapless dresses and held bouquets filled with baby's breath, mums, and daisies. The groom looked dapper in a purple-checkered button-up, paisley tie, and gray vest. His men wore green-checkered button-up shirts with khaki pants. The reason for all the green and purple? "Choosing colors was hard for me, but we decided on purple for our football team back home (The Ravens) and green is Anthony's favorite color," Lauren said. The intimate crowd of 75 guests gathered outside to watch Lauren and Anthony exchange their vows, which she says took them just 4 minutes. "That gave us more time to party," she said. Guests headed off to the outdoor reception at the restaurant where a picture frame doubled as a seating chart, leading them to their seats. Colorful streamers decorated the outdoor area, and guests sat at banquet tables with cafe chairs and wire table numbers, which the bride's brother made. "We both come from Italian families so we wanted to include that culture in a little bit, with Italian desserts, music, and the dinner," Lauren said. After enjoying the Italian fare (pizza and pasta, yum!) the guests took advantage of the photo booth, indulged in a two-tiered cake with butter cream frosting, and took home personalized candles as a favor. "Our families mesh so well together, so it was just a big party all day," Lauren recalled. "Our wedding was intimate, dreamy and so perfect, it could not have gone any better."

The bride wore a lace mermaid wedding gown and accessorized with a chunky flower bracelet and round diamond earrings. She carried a bouquet of roses accented with baby's breath. The groom and his 'men donned gray suits accessorized with pink neck ties (a bow tie for the groom), vests and pocket squares. Following the ceremony, guests were escorted to their seats by adorable DIY keys and luggage tags. They enjoyed a three-course meal and a three-tiered cake, which was embellished with burlap and lace ribbon. "Our reception was the party we had both envisioned," Kristen said. "A great romantic-rustic ambiance, a delicious dinner, great music, bottomless beverages, and decadent cake, all while being surrounded by those who we love the most." The favors?

DIY: T-shirt to T-strap halter
1. cut the T-shirt. make sure the shirt is large enough. the large bottom piece will be used for the main part of the top, so be sure to make it as long as possible by cutting it at the underarm area.
2. take the sleeves and sew the "top" of the neckline, leaving a 1" gap
3. using excess fabric from the chest part of the shirt, make the back of the top. i included a zipper in mine. sew the front piece to the back piece of the shirt.
4. with another piece of excess fabric, sew a tube that is about 6" long and about 1" wide. this will be the piece that connects the neck piece to the shirt.
5. connect the tube to the top and to the neck piece. to clarify; the "neckpiece" refers to the piece ribbed Tshirt that was cut off from the neck area of the shirt.
6. it should look like the sixth picture.
7. Now attach the bottom of the shirt to the top. Since the bottom is a larger circumference than the top, pins are needed to pin down the pleats made. I made four pleats; two in the front and two in the back of the shirt.
8. done :)

Country music star CHARLIE LOUVIN is hoping for "a miracle" to help him beat pancreatic cancer.
The 82-year-old singer, best known as a member of the Louvin Brothers duo with his sibling Ira, had to cancel a tour which was due to kick off this month (Jul10) to undergo surgery as part of his fight against the disease.
Louvin is set for an operation on 22 July (10) and he's been warned he may have to stay in hospital for up to 30 days following the procedure.
The singer admits he was rocked when he was first told he only had six months to live, but now he is more hopeful and is adamant he can overcome the disease.
He tells the Associated Press, "I guarantee that (the diagnosis) rattled my cage... They can do wonders. And what I need sorely is a miracle, and I believe they're still around. There's miracles that happen in this country every day and I'm wide open for one."
Doctors have now told Louvin he has at least five years to live and he's already planning to resume his trek in August (10).

The Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) made its proposal Tuesday, May 15 , as part of a record $93 million spending recommendation that includes $80 million for farmland preservation and $13 million for open space and recreation.
The land 148 acres in Bedminster and 49 acres in Tewksbury is owned by Mill House Associates, the Brady family's land holding company. Part of the property was approved for subdivision by the Bedminster Planning Board earlier this month.
Although the farmland preservation spending won't be final until approved by the state Legislature and governor, officials said the recommendations of the GSPT staff are usually followed.
Officials said the Mill House property would be acquired under the direct easement purchase program, in which the state pays a certain amount per acre for permanent development rights.
The land would remain under private ownership, but would be deed restricted so the current owners and any future purchasers would be limited to agricultural uses.
The Mill House land recommended for the state farmland preservation program includes:
- A 49-acre tract along the east side of Black River Road in Tewksbury, across from the intersection of Vliettown Road.
- Two tracts adjacent to the Tewksbury property, but separated by the Lamington River. One tract is 43 acres while the other is 31.
- A 46-acre tract behind the Lamington Presbyterian Church that has been used for many years for the raising of beef cattle.
- A 33-acre field on the east side of Black River Road, immediately north of the Lamington Road intersection.
The 148 acres in Bedminster are part of a larger tract known as "The Compound," which covers 463 acres and stretches for roughly two miles along Black River Road, between Lamington Road and Long Lane.
On May 3, the township planners granted final approval to Mill House Associates to allow The Compound to be subdivided into 13 lots ranging in size from 23 to 46 acres.
But if the state follows the GSPT recommendations and buys the development right s on the agricultural portions of the Mill House property, only nine building lots will remain.
And, according to a letter on file with the state, the Brady family has agreed to deed restrict those nine remaining residential lots to prevent any further sub divisions.
'50-Acre Zoning'
Mill House spokesman James Brady, III, confirmed his family is interested in placing four lots in farmland preservation and prohibiting further subdivisions on the rest.
"What we're doing, in effect, is putting 50-acre zoning on the entire property, " said Brady.
Mill House Associates is a partnership owned by four siblings: Brady's father, James Brady Jr.; his uncle, Nicholas Brady; and his two aunts, Lisa Richards and Eliot Stewart.
Brady said the subdivision will allow his uncle, who has moved from the area, to leave the family partnership. Other family members plan to buy out his uncle's share of the land.
Although a few lots may eventually be sold for estate-type development, said Bra dy, it is likely that most of the land in the compound will remain in his family 's ownership.

A Talent for Trouble(1992)
A novel by Anne Barbour
Lady Talitha Burnside had always assured herself that the blazing talent in her fingers overcame the plainness in her features. Now, the Viscount Chelmsford had need of her skill as a caricaturist in a novel that would set London on its ear. Tally told herself firmly that she did not care that Chelmsford would scarcely look beyond his collaborator's talent, for she wished only to provide herself with the means of financial independence from her family. Unfortunately, with the best intentions in the world, Tally did not find herself immune to Chelmsford's charm.
