Author's Note: This is an odd little bit of inspiration that came to me for no particular reason one night, begging me to jot it down. All too often these things don't turn out half as well on paper as they were in your head, but this one seems to have worked out reasonably well. Anyway, it was inspired in part by "The Marking" by Fenikkusuken (more in theme than in execution…), and also by various discussions on various message boards; and of course, like any good parody, by countless fanfics I have read.
Just a heads up, this piece tends toward the "sicker side" of my sense of humor. Probably around the same area that generated "The Limit," if you've ever read that (which I still find hilarious, btw… --grin--). And again, let me stress that this is parody…
Disclaimer: I rarely remember these. Hope I don't get sued. Anyway, I don't own Inuyasha. Blah.
A Few Minor Details…
Their eyes locked, each of them searching the other's gaze for signs of doubt, wondering if they truly were thinking the same thing. Neither could be certain which one moved first, but before either of them knew what was happening they were in each other's arms, locked in a heated embrace.
This was truly heaven. To be here in Inuyasha's arms at long last, to feel his lips against hers as they tangled hungrily with one another, their mutual passion obliterating all common sense—it was more than she had ever dared hope for, and everything she had ever dreamed it would be. She reveled in the sensation of his calloused hands against her skin as they slid up underneath the hem of her shirt, exploring the curves of her body. Fumbling with the ties of his haori, she managed to push his shirts down over his shoulders, letting her fingers caress the heated skin beneath.
"Inuyasha," she moaned into his mouth.
"Kagome…oh god, Kagome…" he mumbled in return, trailing kisses down her neck.
Within moments they were on the ground, Kagome lying on her back in the grass, and Inuyasha hovering over her, their bodies pressed flush against one another. She let him slide her shirt up and off over her head, affording him a whole new plane of flesh to investigate with his mouth.
But when she felt the evidence of his desire against her thigh and went to undo the ties of his hakama, Inuyasha paused, catching her by the wrist. She looked into his eyes questioningly.
"Kagome," he said seriously, "before we…go any further, there are a few things I have to tell you about…about the mating habits of my species."
She quirked her head to the side, slightly puzzled, but giving a small nod she murmured an "Okay…"
Inuyasha shifted to the side, propping himself up on his elbow so that he could still see her face. "Well, you see…when we…when we mate, I'll have to…mark you."
"Mark me?" she repeated with some hesitation. "What exactly does that mean?"
"It means I have to…bite you. But not hard. Just hard enough so that there are teeth marks."
"Oh – well that's not so bad," she said, somewhat relieved.
"And a little blood."
"Um…okay, well, a little blood should be alright."
"And it has to leave a scar."
Her eyes widened. She swallowed. "Okay…well…um…okay. I think I can do that. Where exactly?"
"Your neck. Right over your jugular."
He nodded earnestly, unaware of her trepidation. "Yeah. But don't worry, I'll lap up the blood and staunch the bleeding before you bleed to death. You'll be a little light-headed for a couple of days, and only certain people get nauseous from it."
Kagome blinked. Bleeding to death? Light-headed? Nauseous? Well, it all came down to one thing: Did she love him, or didn't she? Of course she did. And wasn't she willing to do anything to be with him? Of course she was. So…problem solved.
She took a deep breath. "Okay, Inuyasha. I can do that."
He smiled adoringly down at her, leaning down to kiss her gently, lovingly. But then, just as she was getting ready to resume their previous activities, he pulled back again.
"One more thing. See, because I'm a hanyou, I'm a target for other youkai, and so are the people around me. The only thing that will protect you from being kidnapped and viciously raped by demons is my scent claim on you, marking you as mine."
"But isn't that what the scar thing is for?" Kagome questioned, confised.
"Well, yes, but without the scent claim they'll think it's a fake," Inuyasha explained.
"But I've been traveling with you for months, and I haven't been raped so far," Kagome pointed out reasonably.
"That's because you're still a virgin. Once you're not a virgin anymore, the demons will smell that you have had sex, but that you are not claimed, and they will become slaves to their sexual urges and come to ravish you immediately."
She nodded, somewhat perplexed, but trying to keep up. "Okay…so how do we do the scent claim?"
"Oh that's easy," he said with a shrug, "We just have to have sex—"
"Well isn't that what we—" she began, but he cut her off.
"—four times a day," he finished.
Her jaw dropped. "Four times a day? Okay, you definitely made that up…"
"No, it's true, I swear. And we have to do it anytime you take a bath too, because that washes the scent off."
"But—but that's why I take baths you sex-starved maniac!" she exclaimed.
But when she saw the hurt in his expression, she softened and gave a sigh. "Alright Inuyasha. Four times a day."
The hanyou grinned lovingly down at her and bent to kiss her once more – but this time he pulled back before he even made it to her lips.
"Oh, I almost forgot. See, one of the things about Inu-youkai mating is that we mate for life. So once we have sex, our body chemistries will change, making us both incapable of ever loving anyone else. Just FYI."
Kagome raised her eyebrows. "Ever?"
"Yep. But you know it's actually really cool, because our life spans also become bound to one another, so it will be impossible for one of us to die and leave the other behind – if one of us dies, we both die," he said matter-of-factly.
"Uh huh…" Kagome said in a bemused tone, somewhat overwhelmed by this new bit of information. "So this is…a real commitment, isn't it…"
Unfortunately, he wasn't finished. "Well and of course, since we're spiritually bound, we can't get more than twenty feet away from each other or else we'll both get massive, crippling headaches – but I hear you get used to it. Oh Kagome…I can't wait for us to be mates…I love you so much…" he murmured, lowering himself over her once more to begin kissing her neck sensuously.
Kagome, for her part, was not exactly sure she was in the "mood" anymore at the moment. She just sort of lay there, a slightly horrorstruck expression on her face, visions of bleeding jugulars and ear-splitting headaches dancing before her eyes.
"Oh," Inuyasha said suddenly, pulling back again.
"Oh god, what else…" Kagome mumbled in alarm, though Inuyasha didn't seem to hear her.
"I told you about the turning hanyou thing, right?"
Her eyes widened. "No…" she said warily, teeth gritted.
Inuyasha slapped a hand to his forehead in self-reproach. "Silly me. Yeah, see, hanyou semen has the power to alter the genetic makeup of its recipient. It turns you into a hanyou yourself so that you'll have the necessary strength and capabilities to withstand the childbearing process."
"Mm hm. Youkai pups are pretty vicious, even when they're only part youkai. Sometimes when the labor takes too long they just rip their way right out of your abdomen – you know, like the alien in that movie your mom rented for us once, remember?"
Was her jugular already bleeding? She could swear she felt all the blood draining from her body. There was certainly none left in her face.
She swallowed thickly once more. She loved Inuyasha. She loved Inuyasha.
Vicious, hanyou children ripping their way out of her abdomen…
She loved Inuyasha. Yes. She did. She really did.
Gathering what was left of her wits, she asked with some difficulty, "Is that all…?"
Inuyasha furrowed his brow and looked up in thought. Then, finally, he gave a short nod. "Yep, I think so."
Taking another deep breath, she nodded as well. "Alright…"
"Oh! Well, and then there's the ritual sacrifice, but that's a little later," he said offhandedly, resuming his ministrations on her neck.
"Whoa, hang on," she interrupted, pushing him back again, "Ritual sacrifice?"
He shrugged, as though such a thing were as normal as apple pie. Sweeney Todd's apple pie… "'Course. When the alpha male and female mate for the first time, the youngest male in the pack is sacrificed. It's a birthright thing, something about rights of succession. Don't worry about it – we just have to put Shippo's head on a pike and display it on the roof of our hut. No big deal…"
He bent down to continue kissing her neck – but he ended up with his face in the dirt.
Looking up in confusion, he spotted Kagome a few feet away, tugging on her shirt as she speed-walked out of the clearing and into the forest.
"Kagome?" he called after her, getting to his feet to give chase, "Is there something wrong?"
"Forget it, Inuyasha, it's not gonna happen," she called back, not even so much as turning her head.
"But why?" he asked, sounding crestfallen. "I thought…I thought you and I were…"
Finally she stopped, turning back to face him. "Inuyasha, I love you, really I do – but it's just too much. I'm sorry, I can't handle it. Goodbye." And with that, she turned and disappeared into the foliage.
Inuyasha stared after her for a long moment, watching the love of his life vanish from sight and feeling as though his very life force was going with her. And then inspiration struck.
"Kagome!" he called out, running after her, "What if we sacrifice Miroku instead!"
A/N: Just as a disclaimer, since it may be possible to associate certain references with specific fics (anybody see "The Lucky Ones" in there?), this is not a condemnation of all fics that address this issue, or even all of the fics referenced here (I happen to love "The Lucky Ones," in fact) – just of the absurd lengths to which the concept is sometimes taken in general. And just so I don't get reviews asking for links to the stories that involved vicious hanyou children tearing their way out of Kagome's abdomen, I want to assure you that I did make several of these things up. To the best of my knowledge, there are no fics in existence in which Kagome and Inuyasha have Shippo's head displayed on their roof (--grin--). I even threw in references to a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode ("Attached") and a musical (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) for my fellow nerds…
Anyway, a large influence on this fic was the fact that, as occurred to me recently, one of the main things that bug me about the whole "mating" issue is the meticulous detail with which Inuyasha is willing and able to describe the process. He just doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'd be anxious to openly discuss sexual rituals with a potential mate. Besides, how would he know enough about human mating rituals to know what he had to explain and what she would already understand? And apparently he would have learned all this from…Myouga?

Rescued woman's family grateful for Officer Bradway's sacrifice
The woman Officer Bradway burst into the apartment to save is alive and well today with her 10-month-old baby thanks to the officer's heroism.
Saturday, Eyewitness News Reporter Carrie Cline met up with that woman's uncle who wanted to express his deepest gratitude to the Bradway Family for the sacrifice made.
"That Officer Bradway is an outstanding officer. He went out of his way to protect and save my niece," said Robert Golder.
Golder is overflowing with grief mixed with a large dose of gratitude for officer Rod Bradway's ultimate sacrifice.
"I really just want the Bradway family to know that our family--we send our condolences and our appreciation for the officer going above and beyond the call of duty," said Golder.
Golder lives near Crown Hill Cemetary and saw Saturday morning's processional escorting the officer's body from the corner's office to the mortuary.
This will eventually be Officer Bradway's final resting place after next week's visitation and funeral services.
In the meantime, as Golder reflects on what's been lost, he can't help but celebrate what was saved.
"Gorgeous, beautiful young lady-outstanding. I can imagine she was really scared. She probably didn't even see it coming herself," said Golder.
His niece is the woman who was being held at gunpoint on the other side of that door at the Eagle Pointe Apartments Friday morning. Her screams prompted Bradway to rush in to her aid. She was saved--he died when the woman's boyfriend, Steven Byrdo, shot and killed him. Byrdo died after Bradway and another officer who arrived shot him. Byrdo's actions came as a big surprise to his girlfriend's family.
"She said, it was Steve and I said no, no, it couldn't have been. He was going to Ivy Tech and he's always been respectful to the family and we just couldn't expect something like this to happen," said Golder.
But, it did tearing /two/ families apart. Now, one just wants to the other to know they're standing with them in love, support and most of all--gratefulness.
Suggested Links
"I'd like to embrace them right now and let them know that he's the man," said Golder.
The man who laid it all on the line to serve and protect.
Golder says he wasn't aware Byrdo had recently been released from jail on cocaine distribution charges until he saw the news yesterday. He says Byrdo was not the father of his niece's baby, but was an excellent father to the baby girl.

Although the Washington Capitals were officially eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Rangers in a Game 7 squeaker, the upstart club out of the No. 7 seed knows it let this series get away in what it thought was the final seconds of Game 5. Just 7.6 seconds away from taking a 3-2 series lead over the top-seeded Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the seventh-seeded Capitals allowed the tying goal to Brad Richards on the first half of a 4-minute power play. Then they were vanquished early in overtime when Marc Staal cashed in on the second half of the advantage, as New York took that edge and moved within one win of advancing. The Capitals didn't give up, however, and pulled out a 2-1 win at home in Game 6 on the strength of Alex Ovechkin's power-play goal 1:28 in. But as was the case throughout the entire series, the teams alternated wins throughout, and the club that scored first never lost.

She-Ra: Princess of Power
The Dark Lord of Etheria
By: General Stingrad
(Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Characters Lord of the Rings belongs to JRR Tolkien and She-Ra belongs to Mattel and Filmation)
Chapter I: In the Land of the Horde Where the Shadows Lie
34th DAY IN THE THIRD YEAR OF MY OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA
Today was like every other day, I set out to invade and conquer Brightmoon and we were stopped by She-Ra. I started out with a hundred thousand troopers and She-Ra totaled them all as if they were made of foil. It just makes me think how much I despise Grayskull, not only did he banish to netherworld of Despondos, but now his descants prevent from ruling over the planets I seek. One day I will have my revenge on Grayskull, and conquer both Eternia and Etheria.
I spent most of the day in my chambers mediating on a plan to defeat She-Ra; all of the plans I had thought up were already proven failures. Every single scheme was a dud, curse that She-Ra. Just then, Shadow Weaver entered my chambers, although I did not notice her at first.
She told me about a magical artifact, a magic ring created ages ago by a dark being called Sauron to conquer someplace named Middle Earth, called the One Ring of Power. I knew this was the ticket I needed to conquer Etheria.
I ordered Shadow Weaver to open a portal to this Middle Earth; she went off to do so. I also left my chambers to gather some of my minions to accompany me; I chose Catra, Scorpia, Leech, Modulok, Grizzlor, Mantenna, and Shadow Weaver along with a squad of Horde Troopers. About half an hour later, we met outside the Fright Zone, Shadow Weaver had the Portal to Middle Earth opened, as always my minions were afraid to enter first so I went and they followed.
When we arrived at Middle Earth, I ordered my men to split up into groups Catra and Scorpia were to take to the north; Leech and Grizzlor were to take the south; Modulok and Mantenna were to take the west; and Shadow Weaver and I were to take to the East. "This land will learn why we are called the Evil Horde" I remarked as we marched out to find this Ring.
34th DAY IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA
Once again, Hordak tried to conquer Brightmoon, He along with some of his cronies tried to enter Castle Brightmoon and it was up to me to stop them. They put up a good fight but in the end, She-Ra defeated them.
After Hordak retreated, I returned to Castle Brightmoon for a little R&R, I laid on my bed and took a little nap; well little is not the best word to describe it. No sooner that I had shut my eyes than an Etherian Honor Guard came into my room; he told me that Queen Angella wished to see me in her throne room at once. I asked him what was wrong but he just said, "Queen Angella wouldn't say" So I followed him to Queen Angella's throne room.
When we arrived, she was sitting on her throne. Bow, Glimmer, Castaspella, and Madame Razz were also present. The guard announced my presence to everyone in the Room.
"I have called you all here to discuss an urgent matter," she told us in a somber tone of voice. "According to our sources, Hordak is leaving Etheria," she said.
"That's good news!" I said, happy at the fact that Hordak was leaving Etheria and possibly giving up the occupation of Etheria. No one seemed to think in that way.
Queen Angella gave me a stern look and replied, "No, Adora, Hordak is leaving Etheria to search for a magical artifact" she corrected me. The very mentioning of the artifact seemed to worry her, whatever it is it must something of great power.
"Hordak is searching for an artifact called the 'One Ring of Power', if he succeeds in finding the Ring he could gain enough power to conquer Brightmoon," she continued with great passion. "Once again Adora, Etheria's fate is in your hands," she told me.
"Where do I find this 'One Ring'?" I asked her, I would go anywhere, even into the very depths of Despondos itself to face the dark demons that inhabit that horrible place if it meant, I could save Etheria from the Horde.
"It is in a land called Middle Earth, it is a land of magic, I pray to Light Hope that his magic will protect you on this journey" She said, "Castaspella will open a portal to take you there, Do you have any questions" she asked as she pointed to Casta who stepped in front of the throne.
"Yes your majesty, may I bring Spirit with me on this journey, and who else is going with me on this mission" I asked her, I felt that somehow Spirit would be useful to me as well as the other members of the team I was assigned to.
"You may take Spirit with you, but you will have to go alone on this mission" she told me, I was shocked, this wasn't like her, usually when there is a mission she assigns a team to accomplish the task. Usually Bow and Glimmer accompany me on a mission, but now she said that this was a solo mission.
"Why is that I must go alone on this mission?" I asked I knew Queen Angella had her reasons, but I had to know for myself.
"I had talked to Casta about whether or not Hordak could detect the portal, she informed that if more than one person were to go into the portal, he would be able to detect it, but if only one person would enter then it would escape Hordak's detection." She explained. I felt uneasy at my stomach, the thought of going alone into some strange land was frightening but, I had to do it, Etheria was at stake. I told the queen that I would do it.
"Casta, go with Adora to the stables and prepare to leave at once" she commanded, Casta walked over beside me and prepared to leave.
Before we left, my friends gave me gifts to help me on my journey. From Bow I got his bow and arrows that were used by the Etherian Honor Guard to defend the Magi during the War of Illumination, "May they likewise protect you" he said bowing politely. Glimmer had given me her magic mirror of friendship that allows it's possessor to see his or her friends and allies no matter how far away they might be. Castaspella gave me a magic talisman, the Infinitus, the symbol old Etheria back when it was called Infintia, she told the Gnostics used it to promote good luck, and she hoped it would do the same for me; Madame Razz gave me a special potion, The Healing Potion of Kulosadian. She told me that it will heal any wounds and I only need to drink one drop of it for it to work. Lastly, Queen Angella gave me the greatest gift she had to give, The Angellian Blessing, it was sung to her by her mother:
Long ago, Long ago, before you were born, Gnostic Sorcerers enchanted this world. They wove their magic into the land and their names although forgotten can still be heard in your prayers.
When the Snakes invaded our homes, they ravaged all at hand. Many people good and pure died by Snake's hands. People lost all they had at stake and some Gnostics became apostates.
Then He-Ro, the great wizard and his student Light Hope, defeated Hsss's snakes and sent them back home.
Light Hope became the King and fought for us when Prime, came searching for a world to rule and in freeing us Light Hope died.
Then the Magi, who were at Hope's side, ascended the throne next until Ralabad died. Now called Hordak, the dark son of Prime, the Magi defeated him and once more, we did sigh. The Magi into crystals pure and clear turned and then no more were they seen or heard.
Now we Angellians take up the throne and we rule with love and Grace. When you go tonight and darkness is around you, may the love of the Angellians guide you to the light.
When she was done, she excused Casta and me so I could get ready. I went to my room and packed some belongings in a bag, some food for nourishment, a spare set of clothes; the gifts that my friends gave me; and of course what I thought was the most important item I packed, the Sword of Protection, You never know when She-Ra will be needed.
A few minutes later there was knock at my, it was Castaspella, she wanted to know if I was ready, I came out of my room with my bag and we made our way to the stables.
When we arrived, the horses were neighing as if they sensed that I was in danger, although I wasn't. It was frightening, but I ignored it and tried to keep my mind on the mission.
We went over to Spirit, he seemed the most worried of all the Horses, "it's all right Spirit; this journey is frightening to me too." I said as I soothed him, the poor thing he had seen his share of war and destruction, he had seen first hand his brethren killed by Prime eons ago, and now he witnessed the Horde destroy Etheria. He's also had the honor of being called the joy of the immortals. I sometimes wonder what Kalion, the Green Goddess of Grayskull, used to whisper to him, what divine gnosis was he privy to? There was no time for religious contemplation now; there was work to be done.
I mounted Spirit and signaled to Casta that I was ready to leave, she waved her arms and a gateway opened up. Before I left I waved goodbye to Casta and with that, Spirit and me left for Middle Earth.
A few moments I arrived in Middle Earth, I looked a round for moment and told Spirit, "Well I guess we better start to look for Hordak" Spirit neighed in affirmation and we started our journey.
2 March 3019 III
I was on my way to Isengard to relate all the news of Rohan to Saruman, I was happy today, that fool Éomer had been banished from Rohan and thus is no longer a threat to my master's plans.
I was traversing through the Westfold, when something caught my eye. I hid behind a boulder to see what it was. I saw a strange army marching in different directions. They weren't men, Uruk-Hai, Orcs, or any other race of Middle Earth. They were hybrids of different creatures it seemed. One was part cat and part human, another was part scorpion, another looked like a giant leech, another looked like some strange insect, and one looked like a feral man-beast you hear about in children's stories. Another looked like it was cobbled together with left over body parts, and another which commanded the leader's attention looked like a female Nazgûl (if there were such a thing) with glowing eyes and wearing a red robe instead of a black one .
The leader was very demonic in appearance; his face looked like that of a bat with red eyes and sharp fangs. The soldiers that accompany them looked like men wearing armor, although they could be machines. The all wore a bat on their clothing, obviously their insignia. They called themselves the Horde and seemed to be looking for something.
Once the army was gone, I went to leave my hiding place when I saw another being this time a young woman, no older sixteen from what I could tell. She was wearing a red and white battle suit with yellow stripes on the shoulders. She had blonde hair and blue eyes; nothing strange about that, after all Théoden's niece Éowyn has the same features.
What was strange about this intruder was the weapon she carried, it was a strange sword, the steel that it was crafted from was imbued with magic, and in the center of the weapon was a jewel. It was not like anything I've seen crafted of men, elves, or dwarves, Saruman must know about these intruders.
As fast I could, I rushed to Orthanc to alert my master. Faster than a fox evading hounds, I ran till I came the Fords of Isen. I crossed the fords with equal speed and went north to Isengard. When I got to Orthanc, I went immediately to Saruman's throne room.
"What news from Edoras do you bring me Grima?" he asked me I his usual melodic tone of voice.
"There are intruders in the land" I informed him trying to catch my breath. I thought he would be upset, but instead he seemed calm, he got up, walked to the Palantir, and gazed into it.
"Tell me of these intruders." He said calmly as he continued to be transfixed by the seeing stone. I could tell that Sauron was also telling him of these intruders and was going to compare my information with that of Mordor's.
"The first is an army, they called themselves the Horde, they seemed to be looking for something," I reported to him, he did not ask about the other one but continued to gaze into the orb.
I didn't know what to do; Saruman can get quite angry and irritated if interrupted from his meditations. I felt though, that in this case, I did need to risk his wrath and inform of the other intruder.
"Shall I tell you of the other intruder?" I asked him, he did not answer.
After a moment of dead silence he replied, "What of the other intruder?"
"The other was girl, sixteen at the oldest, what really got my attention was the sword she carried. It wasn't like anything of this world and seemed to have great power," I told him.
At the very mention of power, Saruman's eyes lit up, "A sword not of this world with great power, she must be captured, I must possess that sword" he ordered.
"What are your orders, master?" I asked him waiting for my instructions.
"Take a squad of Uruk-Hai and keep watch over these intruders, especially the girl, I want her brought to me alive," he ordered.
"Yes, master" I replied and went to do his bidding.
I went down several flights of stairs and made way to the dungeons, there I found the Orc Overseer.
"Excuse Me," I whimpered as I waited for him to notice me.
"Wha' da ya want worm!" he barked at me, I must say that although I have been down here before, something about the Overseer's question spooked me.
"Saruman asked me to take a squad of Uruk-Hai to spy on some intruders" I told him boldly, I knew that this mission was important to Saruman and I wanted to make sure that I succeeded on this mission.
The Overseer looked at some crumbled pieced of paper and wrote something down on it. He looked up and bellowed "White Squad! Go with the Worm!" Soon a fierce looking Uruk-Hai named Vergog came forward.
"Maggots! Get your armor on, we have work to do!" he ordered and soon Uruk-Hai began to scramble to get their armor and weapons. They were shouting and yelling at each other. After about three minutes, they were ready to go.
I inspected them, they looked ready as far as I could tell, "Saruman has ordered me to spy on some intruders, you are to come with me to assist me on this mission, do you understand" I told them, they shouted in approval, "Very well then move out!" I shouted.
"MOVE OUT MAGGOTS!" Vergog shouted to his 'men' as we marched out.
We marched for several miles until we reached the point where I saw the army and the girl, although they were long gone, the Uruk-Hai picked up their scent.
"Vergog split your squad up, I'll take half to go after the army, the rest will go after the girl," I told him.
His answer was grabbing my neck, "You don't EVER order me around, the next time you do I'll roast and have you for dinner" he threatened, I nodded in affirmation and he released me.
He turned to his men and said "ALL RIGHT MAGGOTS, DIVIDE YOURSELVES HALF GO WITH THE WORM THE OTHERS COME WITH ME!" he shouted to his men as they divided into groups and went in opposite directions.

Is The Young Man Safe? (8 Of 18) by Clarence E. Macartney

Is the Young Man Safe? (8 of 18)
Clarence E. Macartney
2 Samuel 18:32
It was sunrise in the wild mountain country across the
Jordan. In front of the fortress of Mahanaim, the king
of Israel, David, driven out of his capital by the
rebellion of Absalom, stood to review his troops as
they marched toward the field of battle. There were
three divisions of veteran soldiers: one under
Abishai, another under Ittai, and the third under the
captain of the host, Joab himself. The earth shook
beneath the tread of these thousands of armed men.
Trumpets sounded, flags and pennants streamed in the
morning wind, helmet and shield and spear flashed in
the bright sunlight. As each division came abreast of
David, it halted to salute the king. Before it passed
on David said a word to each commander. That word was
this: "Deal gently for my sake with the young man,
even with Absalom." Then the trumpets spoke once more,
and the army marched on toward the battle, leaving
behind it a cloud of dust. Soon the army with its
three divisions vanished into the wood of Ephraim.
All day long David paced up and down before the
fortress, refusing meat and drink and conversation
with his officers and guard, for his heart was in the
great battle raging in the wood of Ephraim. At length
the watchman on top of the tower above David reported
a runner approaching in the distance. The runner was
Ahimaaz, who had started after Joab had sent the first
and official runner Cushi with dispatches for the king
and tidings of the battle. When the runner drew near
to David he called out, "Blessed be the Lord thy God,
which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their
hand against my lord the king." But that was not what
the king was thinking about; that was not what he
wanted to know. What he was thinking about, and what
was on his heart, was the fate of Absalom. So he said
to Ahimaaz, "Is t ...

How do you say goodbye to the person you really love?
You didn't promised a goodbye
This wouldn't take long
There's nothing to express
'Cause all I can feel is numbness
From our once favorite song
But how do you say goodbye?
To him you most love?
How will you ease the nights?
Without him on your side?
And how can you move on?
From the fairytale you once thought
A happy ever-ending
With birds on trees chirping
Deep words aren't needed
'Cause now it's about you and me
We once understood the lyrics
But broke up with the most shallow things
Now you want me to stop
But you should've told me earlier
'Cause this isn't easy; and
Goodbye wasn't your promise

National Geographic's 125th anniversary celebrations continue
As part of the continuing celebration of its 125th anniversary, National Geographic once again features Steve McCurry's famous 'Afghan Girl' photograph on the cover of October's 'The Photography Issue'. Along with the new issue, National Geographic has launched some supporting content associated with the issue, as well as a new blog called Proof, offering 'new avenues for our audience to get a behind-the-scenes look at the National Geographic storytelling process.'
|The cover of the October 2013 issue shows a cropped version of Steve McCurry's famous photograph of a young Afghan girl, Sharbat Gula, which first ran in the June 1985 issue.
Though launched in 1888 as an extension of the National Geographic Society, National Geographic Magazine wasn't initially known for its photography. Starting in 1905, the magazine started adding more photographs, which became a critical part of their storytelling style.
The just-launched blog Proof features interesting studies of ongoing and past projects from photographers and journalists, some of which may not appear in publication, but are interesting in their own right. The goal, according to Keith Jenkins, Director of Photography, being 'to tell meaningful stories in unforgettable ways.'
|Shown being washed by his uncle, Yusufu Shabani Difika was attacked by a lion while farming near the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, an attack that cost him his arms. This image is featured in an interview with Nick Nichols and Brent Stirton on National Geographic's 'Proof' blog.
'The Photography Issue' of National Geographic can be found on newstands now, and a digital version is also available.
I am visiting Singapore and their art/science museum has a NG special exhibit of 50 best photos. The original image of Ms Gula and her image taken 17 years later are presented in a darkened galley all to themselves... the effect is absolutely stunning and heartbreaking considering the context of the image and the treatment of women by this faction of Islam. I will post an image of this part of the exhibit in Forum/Open Talk. When I first saw the cover in 1985 I fell in love with the raw, simple beauty of the young girl. When discovered later, all that the Taliban had done to Afghanistan was mirrored in her face. I left with a lump in my throat and a pain in my heart. BTW: the photog knew in an instant it was the girl. The photo sparked an immense amount of donations to refugee relief in the region. That should be enough compensation. Twits who think that news images should be considered the same as fashion photos are way off base.
'Twits' Let's see you take an American Child's image use it to sell millions of magazines all without parental consent even in the name of news. I guarantee your legal costs would most likely bankrupt your life even if you won the case. Of course those third world children and families don't have the same legal rights in your eyes! Sharbat Gula's (my mistake in her name below) image is way beyond a simple news photo and National Geographic has used it repeatedly to sell magazines. When this photo was taken it was the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan that was highlighted. It is ironic that it may even have accelerated the CIA's program to arm and train groups that were opposing the Soviets. Groups like those headed by Bin Laden! Ah the unintended consequences of our good will.
For those who are misinformed:
The 'Afghan Girl' was photographed in a refugee camp in Pakistan in 1984. In a 'Life Revealed' in 2002 Alum Bibi (the girl's name) said she remembered the moment and remembered her anger at being photographed. She received nothing for the photo or any help from National Geographic or McCurry during her life, she was found 17 years later (Mr Intimbuktu you are wrong). National Geographic established a fund to assist in the development and delivery of educational opportunities for young Afghan women and girls years later. The young Alum Bibi (the Afghan Girl) received nothing when she was as famous as any Ford model or Miss America contestant. McCurry became famous worldwide.
The Afghan Girl any American Model would have millions from royalties for a portrait used as much as this photo. It really makes me uncomfortable to know she didn't get a thing when it would have made a difference in her life. Then McCurry went searching for her some twenty years later I guess he had an attack of guilt.
Dear bluehighwayman, you are misinformed regarding "The Afghan Girl". National Geographic has done quite a bit to help her over the years. There was even a special on finding her after many years. Her life is better because of her image.
I too have always felt the same way.
I'm hoping that a magazine, or an organization, as reputable as NG would not leave her without rewarding her generously, but not just give her a couple of two tiny payments separated by 20 years!
Let's hear some more about her from NG.
bluehighwayman. I'm sure it's a tough position in journalism to tell a story without interference -especially in times of turmoil or confronted with risk. But that's what good journalism is about: bringing awareness in hopes that others whom are better equipped to help, will rise up and do so.
These folks expend lots of time, effort and money, some putting themselves at risk, just to get that one shot. So that every shot is testimony to a herculean effort that led up to it.
I grew up reading these magazines and that inspired me to travel (although I wound up joining the Navy and going to the photo shool in Pensacola to get there). I've seen things and been to places to know that it's not a walk in the park for what some of these guys do. I'm still inspired.
"The identity of the Afghan Girl remained unknown for over 17 years; Afghanistan remained largely closed to Western media until after the removal of the Taliban government by American troops and local allies in 2001. Although McCurry made several attempts during the 1990s to locate her, he was unsuccessful.
In January 2002, a National Geographic team traveled to Afghanistan to locate the subject of the now-famous photograph. McCurry, upon learning that the Nasir Bagh refugee camp was soon to close, inquired of its remaining residents, one of whom knew Gula's brother and was able to send word to her hometown. However, there were a number of women who came forward and identified themselves erroneously as the famous Afghan Girl. In addition, after being shown the 1984 photo, a handful of young men falsely claimed Gula as their wife.
The team finally located Gula, then around the age of 30, in a remote region of Afghanistan; she had returned to her native country from the refugee camp in 1992. Her identity was confirmed by John Daugman using iris recognition.[8] She vividly recalled being photographed. She had been photographed on only three occasions: in 1984 and during the search for her when a National Geographic producer took the identifying pictures that led to the reunion with Steve McCurry. She had never seen her famous portrait before it was shown to her in January 2002. "
You're an idiot. Sorry. I don't like to stoop, but man you have no clue what you are talking about at all. The internet really sucks sometimes.
It took me less than 15 seconds to find this information on the net. I happened to know what Steve has done before hand, but wanted to post it to show you just how much you DON'T know what your talking about.
Photograph is the core of the magazine. Each photo tells a story. A good photographer is a story teller too. He shares his visual experiences. We feel proud thst National Geographic had done its role with utmost dedication and sincerity. This issue or any other NG maintains its standard to logical and scientific minds of the world and supplies continuous unlimited fodder to them.
"meaningful stories..." That's what NG is all about. It's not that you or anyone else could shoot same or better quality. It's because you or I wasn't "there" to take "that" shot. Sometimes a walk in the park with $7000 worth of gear is still about the walking in the park.
Amateurs criticizing NG photographers. Heh, that's a hoot. Armchair quarterbacks.
I bought the issue as soon as I saw it at the news stands. Sure to be a classic.
if amateur means having a sky that doesnt look like a shot taken 30m underwater, then ill gladly call myself an amateur.
it's what one would refer to as #backseatdrivers
Right. There should be a color named "envy green" :)
AND I am disappointed that to view pictures on their website you now HAVE to be logged in
seems a tad unnecessary
I agree, it is a bit nonsense to have to logg on all the time one visits the site now. But I strongly recommend the digital version on you Ipad or computer.
I am having nightmares every time I see "the famous Afghan girl" Once more and I am dead....
gah, no more AFGHAN GIRL. She's startled enough..from that camera shoved in her face ;)
also: most National Geographic pictures look kinda funny-surreal, what with their overuse of contrast and candy colors.
I just saw the traveling photo exhibit organized by Amnistie International on under aged brides in countries like Yemen, Afghanistan, and others. It is such a human cruelty caused to children. Just the memory of those images causes me nausea. Find out on their web site when the exhibit will be shown in your country and do not miss the opportunity to see it.

I'm pretty happy that one of my images was posted. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m300/dvdowns/high%20speed/zpop1011.jpg According to some people though it's not in all the copies?
Thanks :) I wonder what happened that it is in some copies but not other? maybe they did several issues to vary the images.

A Billion-Dollar Baby: Mark Cuban Throws a Tantrum Over Facebook Fee
Facebook used to be a "time suck" — now it just sucks. That's the view of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is urging marketers to take their business elsewhere after the social network started charging the tech billionaire to send messages to all the team's fans. At issue is Facebook's filtering of posts that appear in users' news feeds. The site says it's trying to present users with content that they've shown an interest in while cutting down on spam, but Cuban says it is a pay-to-play move.

Farewell Australia
On my last week of school in Australia, I was asked to deliver a speech at our full-school assembly. I think the speech summed up my experience pretty well, so I'll share it with you:
"For those of you who don't know, I'm Carmen. I've been in Perth on exchange from the USA for almost ten months. I have to say, this experience has been the most eventful, eye-opening, nerve-racking, emotional, fun year of my life. Being an exchange student has helped me become so much more independent, courageous, outgoing, knowledgeable, and responsible.
For as long as I can remember, I've been intrigued by Australia. My dad used to spend a month here every year doing research for his job as a professor, so naturally this country was one of the top candidates when the idea of studying abroad came up. Although when my exchange began, I had no idea what to expect.
As an American, I obviously didn't come over here to practice a second language, as exchange students usually tend to do. However, I've had such a blast immersing myself in the Aussie culture: learning the slang, trying new foods, and doing activities I'd never done: from snorkelling and surfing on New Year's Day to wandering the city streets with other exchange students and sleeping under the stars in the Outback.
Staying with a host family that I'd never met before, living away from my twin sister, and going to a brand new school by myself have been some of the most challenging yet thrilling experiences of my life. My understanding and perspective of the world have expanded and matured tremendously in these ten months. They were nothing like what I pictured, and I won't deny that there have been some serious rough patches. However, those are the moments that have made my experience more valuable and enriching than I could have hoped.
Unfortunately, I've only been here at this school for a fraction of my exchange. However, I can easily say that these three months were the best ones of my trip. I truly love and value the time I've spent at this school so much. My experience here has been completely different to that of Darling Range, mostly for the better. In only three months, I have met some of my favorite teachers and made friends for life. I have had so much fun experiencing the concept of school houses (Mackillop Represent!), playing soccer after school, and sharing all my own stories about America.
Australia is no longer just 'the place my dad used to go every year to study bowerbirds'. It's no longer just the country of tanned surfers and clear-water beaches. No longer 'that place down under' with all the kangaroos and koalas. It's just Australia. The place I spent almost a year--the most amazing year-- of my life in. The place I formed some of the best relationships of my life. The newest part of my identity. It's my home away from home.
Tomorrow, my last day at this school, and Friday, the day I take off, will be two of the most emotional days of my life. While back in July I had no doubt I'd return to see my family and friends again, I won't have the same guarantee here. I will have to say goodbye to the family I've established an irreplaceable bond with, the mentors who have made this experience possible for me, and the amazing friends who have made it the most enjoyable, unforgettable time it could be, not knowing when I'll see any of them again. I truly hope that this is not permanent goodbye, and that one day I will see you again.
As I've said, I've learned so many valuable lessons as an exchange student; and as cliché as some of it may sound, I would like to share it with you to conclude this speech.
- Take as many opportunities as you can to travel and meet new people. Travel is truly the best way to learn, and you'll never imagine what kind of friends you will meet.
- Don't be afraid to pursue activities you've never done before. I'm probably the least coordinated person you will ever meet, but I decided to try playing soccer just for the heck of it, and I've had the time of my life.
- If you want something, work for it. At first I faced a lot of resistance when trying to move schools, and I almost gave up. Thankfully, my host mom convinced me to keep pushing to make it happen, and it was definitely worth it.
Thank you so much to my friends for being so supportive, generous, and thoughtful. Thank you to my teachers for being so helpful and patient with me. And thank you so much to the staff for making this experience possible. I am truly grateful to all of you and I will never forget you."
Well, this is it. I've been so lucky to get the chance to write about my experiences and share them with all of you. I've answered so many questions from students all over the world about my experience, and even though my exchange is over, I will always be there for future exchange students. We're in this together! So if you have any questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to directly message me on Instagram! @anythin9but0rdinary

Are you guilty of doing your makeup on-the-go? Every elfette has to get her beauty-sleep… Don't be shy about pulling out your makeup bag on the train! There are a ton of great quality, light-weight products to help you minimize the clutter in your purse while traveling and also get your face on in just a few minutes.
Let's start with our EYES.
I love the e.l.f. Essential Primer Eyeshadow for so many reasons. You can easily apply with the wand, which is easy to control and it eliminates the need for brushes and extra shadows. Your primer can be your shadow too… it comes in 4 different colors and REALLY stays on without creasing. This will allow you to leave your 5 different shadow brushes and palette at home and carry one little tube instead.
Let's talk about our LIPS.
I am definitely the girl that carries WAY TOO MANY lipsticks and glosses in my purse… even when I'm out for just a little while. I'm an addict and I'm sure many of you are too! e.l.f. Studio Lip Stain has definitely made life easier, since one color can look so many different ways. It's double ended, and gives you the option of a matte finish or glossy, with color being very sheer or bold. Imagine having about 4+ options in one product!
Time for the FACE.
It's best to apply your foundation/complexion products at home while you're not in a moving machine! However, to avoid disasters and keep yourself from looking like a crazy makeup-lady next to someone during your commute, Carry an e.l.f. Studio Tinted Moisturizer with you. The package is small, the product goes on easily with your hands and you don't exactly need a mirror to put it on. Get your SPF benefits and a little bit of coverage, super quick!
A recent obsession of mine: e.l.f. Essential All Over Color Sticks. They are so easy and convenient to carry in any size bag and barely weigh a thing. Aside from that, the color can be used anywhere- your cheeks, lips and eyes too! You can draw the color on straight to your cheek and then rub in for a gorgeous, flushed look. Pressed for time? Do the same on your lips and get the perfect pout.
What do YOU carry on the train / plane / in the car for makeup?

Chapter 7
Once everyone had collected themselves and gathered supplies for the next leg of the journey we set off with big hugs from Cherry much to Rafe and Rao's dislike. Rafe who was left with a lingering hug and a pat on his rear looked slightly disgruntled and stalked over to me with a deep thrown set on his brow and Rao, who got a pat on the head and was given a chunky dog bone and was told to be a 'good boy', to which Rao growled and grumbled at Cherry who merely laughed which made me smile, I would miss her tinkling laughter.
And so we were journeying, again, third time lucky.
Rafe walked next to me and I couldn't help but notice how close he was to me, the proximity itched under my skin. I stop myself before I reach out, no. This isn't what I should be feeling right now. I should be focussed on my new task finding out about them. My parents and I was going to start by going back. As much as I hate the idea as far as I've gotten now. I need to go back to my grandmother.
I stop and turn to Rao who had been trotting behind, he halts in his step and looks at me meaningfully, tail wagging, the clump of hair slowly growing back after the past week. "I need to go back." Is all I say and he nods his shaggy head, eyes glinting in the sun and stretching out his back with a low satisfied yawn. "Off we go then, girl." And he trots ahead leaving me slightly speechless and Rafe looking even more puzzled. A sigh escapes my lips and we plough on back through the meadow.
With a clearer and less delusional mind I notice that the Faery market is roaring with life as we pass through the field that I woke up in. I notice Rafe has stopped and is talking to a dark cloaked man yet Rao marches on ahead and I nearly lose sight of him as I stumble my way through the crowd, apologising as I step on toes and knock wings.
We reach the bank of trees with the dusty path twining into the greenish darkness. "Rafe will be with us shortly. He has some business to attend to, why don't you have a walk around?" Rao's voice emanates from the shadows and I shiver in the cool breeze. I don't stray too far and so go to the nearest stall which appears to be full of crystals and gems. My Grams had taught me from a young age all the types and what they can do for you. Agate is supposed to be strengthening, amethyst brings stability and carnelian is healing.
Then I spot it, black tourmaline, helps reduce negative energy and protect from it, this stone is his. Rafe's. My skin tingles as I run my fingers over it, and then I spot mine though I despise it for being associated with vampires, lapis lazuli, supposed to help enhance psychic ability and encourage clarity and inner peace. Though it hasn't done much before. Running my fingers over it I feel a dull throb as I always do when touching my stone, I noticed that the stall has it attached to a simple black rope twined through it so it can be a necklace.
"Would you like to buy them, I can give you a great deal?" a young girl, younger than me speaks up, her hair tumbles down her back with purple tips and highlights. I smile at her and she smiles back with little pointed teeth, she must be a phouka, I think as I notice her pointed furry ears poking out through her hair. "What's the price?" I ask cautiously, the phouka are a mischievous bunch. "Well," she pauses "it could cost a piece if your hair, a favour, your name" the list continues and I take a moment to think about it, either way it is a hefty price. To give someone a piece of my hair would mean they could use it against me or make me do something, the same with my name and the favour.
"How about we exchange names, and I give you a piece of my hair?" I suggest. If we exchange names then there is no need for her to use it against me. She ponders for a while smoothing her hair and running her fingers through it peering from the crystals to me. "Deal. My name is Luciana Jezebel Wilde and yours?" she looks directly into my eyes, hers flash red then go back to their deep purple with a cat-like gleam. "Dahlia Pythia Arcana." I choke out my middle name, it was my mother's and it was also the name of the oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece. She smiles a tight smile and gives me a pair of scissors; I cut a small lock of hair from the back and hand it over as she finishes wrapping up the tourmaline and hands over the lapis by its string. I hand over the hair and place the rope around my neck tucking the gem into my top. I nod a curt goodbye and so does she.
Making my way back to Raoul, Rafe joins me. Startling me at first by touching my shoulder, his hand whispering on the edge of my neck. "I have something for you." I interrupt, before he starts to speak and hold out the package. He takes it from my hand careful not to touch me and I can't help but frown in disappointment. "Thank you." Is all that is said between us until we reach Rao, he opens the package and stares at the stone, his eyes soften as he looks at me, "It's your stone, I thought you might need it." I stumble over my words as he draws nearer placing his hand on my cheek, my breathing deep. "Thank you." He whispers as his eyes search mine but he steps back too soon as Rao comes out of the bushes. "I have arranged transport for our journey." His head nods into the trees and I follow, before us was an elaborate carriage, one I'd seen before. I remember it being at my Gram's house, Cassandra the vampire queen's. I sigh deeply, great; this is going to be awkward.

615 Spotlight: Jaida Dreyer's 'Confessions'
Ontario native Jaida Dreyer knows how fortunate she is. The artist, currently promoting her single, "Confessions," was handpicked by highly esteemed producer Byron Gallimore to be the flagship artist for his new Streamsound label.
"I've kind of gotten used to it," she says with a smile, while admitting "I used to get really nervous about it. It's such an honor and very flattering that he chose me. You won't find a bigger fan of me or my songwriting than Byron Gallimore."
Jaida Performs 'Confessions'
Interestingly enough, it was songwriting that Dreyer thought she wanted to succeed at when she moved to Music City.
"I really had no aspirations to be an artist. Obviously, it was something that I always wanted growing up, but I never thought it was tangible. When I moved to Nashville, I didn't know one single person. I wasn't a rich girl with daddy's money that moved here to be a star," she stated. "I knew I didn't sound like everyone on the radio, so I figured my place was being a songwriter. Being the realist that I am, I was ok with that. Little did I know that people would like my voice one day for the exact reason I thought they wouldn't."
Dreyer credits her mother for showcasing her to the classic sounds of country music early on.
"She and my grandfather were fans of really traditional country music, like Hank Snow, Ernest Tubb, and Loretta Lynn. I really delved into that stuff and educated myself," she said, allowing that having a sense of history is important. "Now, that I'm doing this, to know where you're going - you've got to respect where you're coming from as an industry. I listened to a lot of Lorrie Morgan and Tanya Tucker, but also also Alanis Morissette and Jewel. I really listened to a lot of everything."
"Confessions," which spent five weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart (peaking at No. 57), is something she's excited about these days.
"It's really great to get a call from the label to tell me it's moved up on the charts. It's a song I co-wrote with two of my good friends, Robert Ellis Orrall and Angelo Petraglia, who produces Kings of Leon. It was a very interesting collaboration. It's a fun, uptempo song, and has been a favorite of the fans since I started playing it live. It's on iTunes. I've got my fingers crossed that people don't get sick of hearing it."
One programmer that isn't sick of hearing it is Scott Donato, PD of WGTY in Gettysburg, PA. Of Dreyer, he said "Her voice struck me immediately as incredibly unique. A cross between Miranda and Emmylou. In addition, she truly throws herself into her material, forcing you to feel what she's feeling with every lyric. She's a true original."

The Zuccardis have always believed that working with nature is the way to produce wines of quality, character and appeal. Vida Orgánica is a celebration of a healthy lifestyle and a vibrant environment. Santa Julia...think of a daring new direction for Argentine wines and you will find that our Santa Julia range is already leading the way. As a tribute to his only daughter, Julia, Jose Zuccardi named his wines after her.
Cuvée M exhibits a graceful stream of very fine bubbles gently rising to a persistent mousse cordon with a light peach rose color. The aromas are elegant, rich and complex, showing fresh white and yellow stone fruits with subtle hints of wild strawberry. A light touch of fresh brioche, with hints of vanilla and honey add to the wine's complex bouquet. On the palate, full flavors of peach and pear combine with a creamy caramel character, which lingers into a long satisfying finish.
Mumm Napa's Cuvée M is the perfect sparkling wine for champagne cocktails or as an apéritif to pair with hors d'oeuvres. It is also a perfect match with creamy desserts and spicy foods.
In 1983, the Gruet family was traveling through the Southwestern part of the United States, and while in New Mexico met a group of European winemakers who had successfully planted vineyards In Engle, near the town of Truth or Consequence, 170 miles south of Albuquerque. The land was inexpensive and the opportunity golden. In 1984, Gilbert Gruet, whose Champagne house, Gruet et Fils had produced fine Champagne in Bethon, France, since 1952, made the decision to plant an experimental vineyard, exclusively planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. His children, winemaker Laurent and daughter Nathalie, then relocated to the great state of New Mexico to begin their American wine making adventure.
Otima is a Premium Quality Port from a renowned Port house, and brings a lighter, more contemporary style to reflect today's lifestyle - a contemporary, quality drink, versatile enough to be enjoyed anytime.

A Common Thread
I just want to write!
"I'll be out in a little while. I want to eat my breakfast. Look at my hair! I can't go out like this. I'm going to eat. I'll be right there...."
I want to write! It's Saturday morning and I have no appointments. I want to write! I've sent the kids out to play basketball, which I would love to join them in....
"No, I won't get you Grandpa's tools so you can lower the net. Get them yourself!"
Aaahhh, writing. It's been a life long dream. As a single parent with five children, it still is a dream. Mostly. But perhaps I can squeak out a little something for this site called Protagonize. Someone will comment and that will make it all worthwhile. It's thrilling to know someone out there is reading the words I've written!
One day I want to write a book. I have so much to share! But for right now, just a little story.
Where do I begin? My childhood? "Nobody likes me." My teen years? Ooooooohhhhh boy.... My early adulthood? Pain and Glory. My middle adulthood? I can't imagine anything better than the days I live now. Okay, I can. But I know it's just around the corner.
The one common thread of my life has been the desire to write. I wrote poems as a child and only shared them with one friend. Where are those poems now? I wrote angry and painful lyrics as a teenager, sprinkled with a little passion and sweet, sweet love. I do have some of that writing still, but there is one poem in particular that I would give my right arm to find. One of those "I didn't write that" - truly inspired pieces.
Then I didn't write for years. Over 10 years. Nothing. It's funny how spending too much time with nasty people can influence one's creativity like that.
Eventually, in the depths of despair, and I must add, under The Night Sky, out came a vicious, biting piece of poetry. Then came another. And another. I spilled years of depression, loneliness, anger, and seething pain. And it felt... so... damn... good.
I very nervously shared these few writings with a dear friend, one who spills his own fair share of pain in fantastic songs he writes. He really liked them! I was embarassed and elated.
I started to tentatively share my writing with more people. I went through many positive life changes and challenges in a relatively short time and wrote my whole way through it. I'm glad to say as my life dramatically evolved into a much more peaceful, fulfilling state, my writing has too.
And here I am today... writing morning pages every day and the occasional blurb on Protagonize, thanks to my eldest son, aryst0krat.

How risk is a second surgery to define tip and narrow bridge further?
previously asked question re: revision how risky is a second surgery to define tip and narrow bridge further? is the desired result worth the chance it will turnout worse!

Revision surgery
You did not mention how long it has been since your previous procedure. Best to also review other photos. Best of luck.
Web reference: https://www.stevenwallachmd.com/procedures/rhinoplasty-new-york/
Revision rhinoplasty candidate
Rhinoplasty and especially revision rhinoplasty are some the most difficult procedures to perform in all of cosmetic surgery. It's very important to look for a revision rhinoplasty specialist to minimize any risks associated with the procedure. It's also very important to have very clear expectations on what the goals are prior to undergoing a revision. The tip of the nose can be made more narrow along with narrowing the bridge line.

Risk of Revision Rhinoplasty
While there are more risks in any revision surgery your problem is successfully corrected on a daily basis by revision rhinoplasty specialists.

"From Here to Infirmity" is an old black-and-white commercial starring Itchy & Scratchy.
Itchy and Scratchy are making out and moaning on the beach when Itchy drags a shark and Scratchy kisses it instead. The shark tears him apart and the director of the show stops it for the commercials. Itchy starts smoking a cigarette and a mutilated Scratchy soon joins him. The episode ends with Itchy, Scratchy and the director coughing up tobacco.
Behind the Laughter
- The episode is later given an indirect mention in Skinner's Sense of Snow, where the kids mention the episode where Itchy and Scratchy kiss. Oddly, HOMЯ aired AFTER Skinner's Sense of Snow.

Worker 1 can see the addresses and can delete, add, change, and email to any individual conatct. What he cannot do is right click on the address book and check the box to add it to the address book drop down list. The tabs do not exist.

You can't add shared contacts to the address book. I'm not sure if this method works in 2010 - i haven't tested it yet. http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oloabpf.htm
If that doesn't work, you need to select addresses from the contacts folder.

I have read that this can be done using public folders, but I do not want to set that up if on 2010 they are retired. This is what I have been told therefore I think it would be a waste of time. Is there a way to make this work that will be transitionable (word?) to 2010 without changing the process again?
