Just picked me up some Forum Republic's!
Anybody else use these? Guy in the store said they are cracking for a bloke of my height/weight (6'1, 195lbs) who want's to charge down and jump anything that comes my way.
Went for the red's too:
My Dad rides them and he's the same height and weight as you, he loves them.

I haven't had any of the ones I've sold come back.
I'm trying to decide between these and the shaka's, or be cheap and try some of the recons from last year.. Been like 7 years since I've bought any gear and starting all over fresh again this year
8 Attachment(s)
The Shaka's are slightly softer. Same glass content, but the Shaka's are short glass and the Republics are long glass.
That's what I've noticed when comparing, which make me lean toward Shaka.. How does recon truly compare to either of these 2, or the k2 hurrithane.. Kinda between all of these

Measurements of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in tropical forests are reviewed and discussed. Many studies of the light environment in tropical forests have emphasized the importance of sunflecks to the total light energy reaching the forest floor. Much of the spatial variation in total daily PAR in understory environments has been attributed to localized sunfleck activity, but levels of diffuse radiation were also found to vary spatially. Values of percent transmission differs greatly among forests throughout the world, ranging from 0.4–3.8, depending on forest structure and weather conditions. Total daily photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in understory habitats is often below 1.0 mol m-2 d-1, and measurements as low as 0.15 mol m-2 d-1 have been recorded.
Light environments in four rain forest habitats were compared over a 13-day period during wet and dry seasons in a lowland rainforest in Costa Rica. Daily total PPFD in the understory, 200 m2 gap, and 400 m2 gap were 1–2%, 9% and 20–35%, respectively, of PPFD in a 5000 m2 clearing. Daily total PPFD in the 400 m2 gap was 2–3 times greater than in the 200 m2 gap and 15–35% greater than in the understory. Seasonal differences in light availability occurred only in the clearing habitat, where decreased cloudiness during the dry season resulted in higher PPFDs.
In the understory, more than 70% of the daily 10-min averages of PPFD were below 10 μmol m-2 s-1; on clear days, sunflecks contributed 55–77% of the total quantum flux. The 200 m2 gap center received little direct radiation; total daily PPFD ranged from 1.52–3.07 mol m-2 d-1. Total daily PPFDs in the 400 m2 gap center ranged from 3.86–13.6 mol m-2 d-1 and 11% of the 10-min averages were above 1000 μmol m-2 s-1 on the day with maximum PPFD. In the clearing, daily total PPFDs ranged from 13.7–33.9 mol m-2 d-1, and over 40% of the 10-min averages were above 1000 μmol m-2 s-1 on the maximum day.
Measurements of the spectral distribution of radiation from 300–1100 nm were made in 2 gaps, a clearing, during sunflecks, and in deep shade. The median red:far-red ratio in gaps and sunflecks was 0.86 and 0.99, respectively, as compared to 0.42 in the shade and 1.23 in the clearing. The median % of total energy in the photosynthetic waveband was 53% in the clearing, 39% in sunflecks and gaps, and 18% in the shade.

The Takeaway
Unemployment Rate Remains at 9.1 Percent for August
No new jobs were added to the economy in August, far below forecasts expecting a net gain of 60,000 jobs. The unemployment rate remains at 9.1 percent. The jobs figures are the latest in a string of dismal economic news, including the downgrading of the U.S.'s tripple-A credit rating, volatility in the stock market, and the ongoing European debt crisis. Though economists believe the U.S. will avoid a double-dip recession, many point to the toxic atmosphere in Congress as a hindrance to economic growth.
Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for The New York Times, analyzes these new numbers.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
For Meg Caswell, moving to Wilmington felt a lot like coming home.
And opening up a business on Castle Street was like coming home to family.
The Windy City native and HGTV personality's Fifth and Castle Design Shop, 602 S. Fifth Ave., is one of a string of recent additions–including an eclectic produce and local arts store, a vintage boutique and an under-construction apartment building with retail space below–to the burgeoning arts and antiques district. Caswell hosts "Meg's Great Rooms," a show she won through season six of the network's "Design Star" competition.
It was her grandfather's advice that propelled Caswell–who had aims to become a lawyer–into the world of interior decorating in her hometown of Chicago. Add to that a sharp ability to perceive what a customer wants a self-proclaimed lifelong desire to be in front of a camera and it's easy to see how Caswell found her way onto HGTV.
But when it came to finding a place to balance work and home, Caswell knew Wilmington was where she wanted to be. Her husband, Randy Holladay, is a North Carolina native who spent his childhood vacationing at Topsail Beach. Caswell's sister, Jennifer Meyer, resides in the Port City, as well.
"I always wanted to raise a family here," Caswell, who has a 15-month old son, Ransom, noted. "Being able to have my nieces come into the store is so great…I really enjoy being around family, especially when you are having your own family."
That sense of family extends to Castle Street, where, with bursts of bright pastel retail items surrounding her in her historic showroom and design space–located in the old firehouse that once housed Working Films–Caswell has been busy managing clients and greeting customers since she opened up earlier this month.
"There are artists here, antique dealers. I love that there are so many creative people on this street. I feel like I am with my people," she said. "And I didn't want to be where all the other design people are. I'm all about making design accessible to everyone."
Caswell said Castle Street's continued growth is anchored in the success of Jester's Java, 607 Castle St., which first got its start in the neighborhood back in 2005. With its loyal customer base, she said, Jester's brings in shoppers who might not otherwise be strolling the street.
Fifth and Castle Design will carry on that tradition, Phil Floyd of nearby AlPhi's Chic Boutique, 315 Castle St., said.
"This is a really up-and-coming area. And she is going to bring lots of business here," Floyd said of Caswell.
Floyd and his partner, Alex Odom, first opened All About AlPhi's across the street from their current location in February after relocating to the area from Whiteville.
"We've always done a little shop wherever we go," Floyd said, noting the pair have owned similar businesses, as well as a landscaping company and restaurant, throughout the southeast.
They moved over to the new site just a few weeks ago to make room for the store's mix of artwork and farm-fresh finds.
"Most everything we have is by local artists and crafters. I love the art; there are so many great artists here," Floyd said. "And we have plants and produce and fresh eggs and farm butter. The fresh produce and things are what get the locals in, and then they see all this art."
Like Caswell, Floyd feels a kinship with his fellow Castle Street proprietors, who share a love for the quiet charm of the district. It's a charm, though, that might not stay quiet for long, he added.
"Castle Street is really getting ready to boom. There's a lot of appeal here. You know, downtown, it's hard to find parking. A lot of people are just realizing this is here," Floyd said.
In the coming months, Floyd and Odom plan to open an eatery at the All About AlPhi's location. It'll be yet another in a series of storefronts that have been occupied over the last year, including the hip Second Skin Vintage, 615 Castle St., which describes its offerings as stylish, high-quality but affordable men's and women's clothing and accessories.
And next to Gravity Records, 612 Castle St., Urban Oasis Apartments is taking shape, set to open later this summer with 11 two-bedroom, two-bath units and a storefront on the first floor.
"When we first came down here a few years ago, we noticed a lot of boarded up buildings," Floyd said. "Now, there's nearly every space is full."

The vengeful act of crapping on a lover's chest while they sleep.Buy the plush
Lowest rank in the Joker-San Female Rating System. Describes a female who is so desparate for male companionship that she'll bang anyone for Gas Money. One usually has to be extremely intoxicated to wake up next to one of these in the morning, forcing one to pull a coyote ugly, followed by a slew of major profanity, occasionally interrupted by projectile vomiting and sobbing. Also a pre-cursor to repeatedly beating the crap out of one's "so-called" friends for allowing this bullshit to happen. Poor guy.

Directions To Use :
Gold Standard 100% Whey™ is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
TIP : Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Whey™ by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix each scoop with 4-6 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 oz of liquid per scoop.
SHAKER : Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just pour in 6-8 oz of your preferred beverage and then add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to your shaker cup. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Don't have a shaker cup? Pick yourself up one of our Shaker Bottles.
BLENDER : Add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a blender filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE : By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut and other high-energy ingredients, you can transform your shake into a delicious high-protein meal.
STACK YOUR SHAKE : You can make Gold Standard 100% Whey™ an even more powerful recovery product by adding supplements like creatine, glutamine, BCAA, and concentrated carbohydrate powders.

Mexico man sentenced to 75 years for sex crimes against a child
MEXICO, Mo. - A Mexico man was sentenced to 75 years in prison Monday after being convicted of sex crimes against a young girl in 2012.
34-year-old Andrew Thompson was convicted in April of statutory rape, three counts of statutory sodomy, child molestation, and two counts of sexual misconduct involving a child.
Audrain County Assistant Prosecutor Ashley Turner said in a news release, "Andrew Thompson had no remorse for what he put this young woman through when she was 12 years old. This brave, smart, and beautiful young woman had the courage to stand up and tell what happened to her."

Washington: Our Tony and Julie are off to war with their ears pinned back. But Barack remains the reluctant warrior, to the point of refusing even to concede that he is at war.
In a 60 Minutes interview at the weekend, the US Commander-in-Chief and leader of the coalition that includes Australia, would not accept that he, the anti-war president, had taken Americans into yet another war. No, as he saw it, the US and its allies were merely "assisting Iraq in a very real battle that's taking place on their soil, with their troops".
"Their troops" were the ones that cut and ran as the so-called Islamic State jihadis poured over the border from Syria.
If that sounded a bit like Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", Obama's next observation of the conflict was very Condoleezza Rice - remember when, as Secretary of State in 2006, she reacted to Hamas winning the Palestinian elections by saying: "I've asked why nobody saw it coming - it does say something about us not having a good enough pulse."
Obama confessed that the US had been hit by its own intelligence double-whammy – it had underestimated the rise of IS in Iraq and Syria and, at the same time, had overestimated the capacity of the Iraqi military to challenge the IS marauders.
These observations might be dismissed if they had come from, say, the president of Bophuthatswana. But IS is the war child of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which came into existence under the nose of 150,000 US troops and God knows how many American intelligence operatives early in the occupation of Iraq.
And the Americans surely had to have a sense of the mettle of the Iraqi military because they trained, armed and funded it. Think of it as another war child they should have known.
Referring to his director of national intelligence, Obama added: "That's true, that's absolutely true - James Clapper has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria."
They? Not the White House? Obama is the commander-in-what? Wasn't he the guy who early this year, dismissed IS as a "JV team", as in a second-rate college sports team?
Earlier this month, Clapper was disarmingly frank, arguing that his analysts had reported on the emergence of IS and its "prowess and capacities", as it had on "the deficiencies" of the Iraqi military. But then this: "What we didn't do was predict the will to fight.
"That's always a problem. We didn't do it in Vietnam – we underestimated the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese and overestimated the will of the South Vietnamese.
"I didn't see the collapse of the Iraqi security forces in the north coming. I didn't see that. It boils down to predicting the will to fight, which is an imponderable."
Obama deflected blame, pointing a finger at the former Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki. Despite evidence to the contrary, Obama insisted: "When we left [Iraq at the end of 2011], we had left them a democracy that was intact, a military that was well-equipped and the ability then to chart their own course."
But surely that's not what his advisers were telling him in the privacy of the Oval Office?
The President then resorted to the glad game: "We've got a campaign plan that has a strong chance of success in Iraq, [but] I think Syria is a more challenging situation."
Hasn't anyone told him that if Syria doesn't work, then Iraq doesn't work?
That's how we got to where we are now.
The intelligence "sources" didn't take long to hit back - a procession of them was lining up to unload on Obama to the New York Times.
In the weeks before his JV quip, they claimed, classified intelligence reports on the threat from Sunni extremists in Syria were increasingly ominous, as were their reports on the deteriorating readiness and morale among Iraqi troops.
"Some of us were pushing the reporting, but the White House just didn't pay attention to it," one official was quoted. "They were preoccupied with other crises – this just wasn't a big priority."
But Obama is not the only one ducking and weaving on this conflict.
Ordinarily, the US Congress wants to be consulted on everything – if they were allowed, they'd happily select the brand of peanut butter for the White House pantry.
But Congress has packed up and gone home, in readiness for the mid-term elections that are a little more than a month off. And who wants to be seen debating or endorsing war so close to the polls?

Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea free to move for Julian Draxler at the end of next season
JULIAN DRAXLER could make a Premier League move at the end of next season.
The Germany star, 20, looked on the verge of joining Arsenal in January.
However, the deal broke down as Schalke wanted too much for their prized asset.
Manchester United and Chelsea were also interested and the three Prem big boys are on red alert again.
Draxler has now revealed that he could be set to leave Schalke at the end of next season.
"In January there was the offer of Arsenal, but I decided to stay," Draxler said.
"I will do the same this summer. I want to play one year more in Schalke."
The forward is valued at around £37m.

Upper wing pattern of High Brown and Dark Green Fritillaries are very similar. Under wing shows High Brown having a row of rusty ring spots on hind wings. See pic2 for comparison with Dark green Fritillary

Underwings are obviously very distinctive, but if you can only see upperwing, a good guide is the row of submarginal spots on the forewing - in HB, the 3rd spot from the front is smaller and displaced inwards, towards the body (this can be seen in the 1st pic, showing through the nearside wing). In DG, these spots continue in a smooth curve (although the 3rd spot may be small)

… Police CID reveals
By Helena Selby
It has come to the notice of an Accra Circuit Court trying the Founder and General Overseer of Jesus Blood Prophetic Ministry International, Kofi Yirenkyi a.k.a "Jesus One Touch," for allegedly defiling his daughter, that the accused person initially, pleaded with the police to allow him resolve the issue amicably at home.
Giving evidence before the court presided over by Mrs. Georgina Mensah-Datsa, a court witness, Mohammed Ali Bala, noted that the quest of the accused person in resolving the issue behind closed doors fell on deaf ears, as the police were bent on prosecuting the case before a court of law.
The intention of the accused was revealed in a police statement written by the accused person, and read in open court by the witness, who disclosed during the last court sitting that it was one Efo, who inserted his finger into the victim's vagina, and not the accused person.
The witness however, admitted that the victim was indeed defiled, and not fingered as he said in his previous evidence before the court.
During cross-examination by a State Attorney, Madam Helen Kwawukume, Bala told the court that he was a station officer at the Akropong police station, and that he only helped the police officers carry out their duties.
When the prosecutor referred him to the police station dairy, witness noted that the station diary was not kept by him, and that his works in the CID office, which does not keep custody of the station diary.
The witness, who is a Detective Inspector, however, explained that he was always not in the office, since he travels a lot, stressing that he is only briefed by the officer at the station when he arrives from a trip, and that as far as he could remember, he only made two entries of "when they were sent to arrest the accused, whom they didn't meet on their arrival, and when the accused decided to turn himself in."
The witness said he chose to be an individual witness due to the seriousness of the case, and that he had been given a subpoena by his boss, which allows him to be a witness. However, the prosecutor said there was no need for him to be a witness, since the wife of the accused person was able to be a witness.
The case was therefore adjourned to January 20, 2011 for the judgment of the case.
Kofi Yirenkyi is standing two counts of defilement and incest, and he had pleaded not guilty to all the charges leveled against him before the court, presided over by Mrs. Georgina Mensah-Datsa. He is currently in police custody.
The facts of the case are that the victim, who was born out of wedlock, lived with the complainant, Madam Bernice Owiredu Asmaa, until 2005, when she left to live with the accused person at McCarthy Hills in Accra to attend school.
According to the prosecution, between 2008 and 2009, the accused started defiling the victim before every church service.
In November 2009, the accused granted the victim's mother the opportunity to talk to her, because she was putting up bad behaviour, the prosecutor told the court.
According to the prosecutor, it was during the interaction that the victim revealed her ordeal to the complainant, who reported the case to the police, adding that the police gave her a form for a medical checkup.
Nana Yirenkyi was later arrested and put before court.

UPDATE 2-Toronto stocks taken lower by weak energy shares
(Updates to early afternoon)
* TSX retreats as energy sector drags amid weak oil
* Financials boosted by U.S. quarterly results
* Nexen falls after disappointing quarter profit
TORONTO, July 17 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index slid lower on Thursday afternoon, pulled down by retreating energy shares that were stung by weak oil prices amid worries over demand.
The benchmark had gained more than 1 percent earlier in the day, buoyed by financials that benefited from surprisingly healthy quarterly results at U.S. banks.
But weak resource shares helped drag the TSX lower by early afternoon, with Nexen Inc NXY.TO falling sharply on a disappointing quarterly profit.
Nexen tumbled C$3.22, or 8.7 percent, to C$33.74 after it said one-time charges and trading losses nearly wiped out its gains from record high oil prices.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 51.75 points, or 0.38 percent, at 13,452.05 at midday, with two of its 10 main sectors lower. It hit a session high of 13,662.51. Continued...

A novel by Alex Campbell
A tense and passionate novel about choices, obsession, destiny and power The sea rose. Civilisation was wiped out, countries drowned. Out of the ashes of a desperate refugee camp, a new society was born, with a new place to call home: Land. Trapped by an aggressive sea, its citizens were bound to rules that saw the weak removed, marriage and children by approval only, and designated work for all. All for the greater good ...Decades later, and seventeen-year-old Christy's life is on the cusp of irrevocable change. She has become eligible for The Pairing, a carefully selected marriage of political and social convenience where romance is out of the question. Her grandmother, Cons, has also reached a significant age - sixty-six: soon the Selection Truck will arrive to take her away forever. Christy's only hope for protection lies with her errant rebel father ...but nothing goes as it's supposed to. As Christy finds a Pairing that might offer a new opportunity for love and security, she also uncovers a destiny that has been hidden from her; truths that have been disguised as childhood lies. With Cons' life under threat, Christy is forced to face a whole new world, one where she must choose between those she cares about and the greater good. A new life where she must play the reluctant rebel, revolutionary, lover ...and assassin.

Tainted Saint, Chapter Eighty-SixMature
"He's slipped away!" were the first words to greet Cassandra's ears, as her eyelids fluttered open and her consciousness returned.
They were the only words needed to cause Cassandra to leap from her bed, despite her growing illness, and try to run over to where Amadeo lay. Someone whom she did not bother to look at, however, restrained her - and because of her lack of strength, she was easily kept back from the King.
"I need to see him," Cassandra panted, her body straining against the hands that held her away. "I need to see him," she repeated, and a groan of complete misery escaped her lips.
"Now is not the time to be disobeying orders," one of the servants grunted, propelling her back to her bed. "Now you lie down, and don't make us tend to you. The King alone requires our full attention."
Normally, Cassandra would have responded in both guilt and indignation to the servant's rude words, but she was too beaten down to reply. Instead, she managed to sit up on her bed, watching the goings on in the room.
The doctor was trying to force the medicine down Amadeo's throat, but even in his state of having "slipped away," Amadeo refused to drink the medicine. His refusal was unnatural. If he was unconscious, then shouldn't he be able to be forced to drink the life-giving potion? There was something greater at work.
"It's hopeless," one of the nurses said. The words flew across the room and hit Cassandra squarely in the soul.
And then, the very thing for which Cassandra had been hoping against happened. The door opened, and in strode Marcos. His eyes were glinting with some unreadable emotion; his hands were clenched so tightly into fists that his knuckles protruded awkwardly. In one fluid movement, he grasped the vial of medicine from the counter and waved it in front of Cassandra.
But his words were not mocking; his eyes were suddenly unchallenging. His voice allowed for all sorts of heartbrokenness and despair. Yet there was still a confident urgency in his tone.
"You need to drink this."
Cassandra was nearly positive that she was delirious again, but Marcos shoved the vial in her face. "Drink it!" he exclaimed. "You need to drink it! Don't you see that he won't? He's been like this for three days, Cassandra - fading in and out of consciousness. If you don't drink it, then his death won't have given him what he wants. He wants you to live, Cassandra." And then, tears overcame his voice, and he called out with a tremor in his tone, "For the Love of Amadeo, Cassandra, please - choose him!"
Three days. Amadeo's life had been forfeit for three days. There were two choices, but really, there was only one. If Amadeo really and truly believed Cassandra worth dying for, then she must honor his wishes...she must. There was nothing else she could do.

QC Software's Tips for Implementing Ergonomics in the Warehouse
Ergonomics in the warehouse reduces injuries, improves productivity, lowers insurance costs. Focus on training, eliminating hazards, less traveling, configurable workstation, mechanical devices for lifting, plastic containers, and slotting software.
"Minimizing stress and providing a safer work environment makes good economic sense. By implementing ergonomic solutions, you reduce the number of injuries, improve productivity, and lower insurance costs." states Rich Hite, President of QC Software, a leading provider of warehouse control systems for the material handling industry.
Key ways to reduce the risk of injury and stress in the warehouse:
Training. Ergonomic training focuses on using the appropriate amount of effort for a given task, allowing workers to minimize stress-related injuries. Workers should thoroughly understand how to operate equipment to reduce the risk of accidents.
Eliminate hazards. Hazardous materials should be properly stored and transferred throughout the facility. Liquid spills need to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Properly maintain equipment and promptly fix damaged equipment to avoid injuries. Potential safety issues must be resolved in a timely manner.
Reduce traveling time. Optimize procedures and physical layout to minimize walking, make equipment and materials more accessible, and improve safety and efficiency.
Environment. Consider using noise dampening technology to keep the sound at an acceptable level. Appropriate lighting will improve safety and productivity. Use fans, sensors, thermal dock doors, and other technologies to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the facility.
Workstation. The workstation should be easily adjustable to accommodate each worker's height and reach. When using monitors, change to simple screen layouts that are easier to read and touch screens to reduce eye strain. Pick-to-Light and Pick-to-Voice technologies eliminate the strain related to reading paper work orders all day. Cushioned mats are essential when standing for long periods.
Pallet and container handling. Mechanical devices reduce handling time and the stress related to lifting, reaching and stretch wrapping. Spring-activated lift tables place the pallet at the appropriate height for loading and unloading. Tilters position the container for easy access to the contents.
Packaging. Containers that deliver inventory to packers are being redesigned. Placing weight limits on containers will reduce stress due to lifting and provide easy access to the product. Changing from wooden pallets and corrugated boxes to reusable plastic containers eliminate injuries from nails, loose boards, and box knives.
Assist devices for moving containers. Vacuum lift devices use a vacuum of air to grip and lift boxes. Computer-controlled assist devices use sophisticated sensors and can make automatic adjustments for fast and precise container placement.
Software. Slotting applications determine the best product location based on carton size, product characteristics, velocity and other factors. Labor management applications are used to develop work standards for specific tasks and monitor output.
Track the results. Keep a record of all worker compensation cases, sick days and productivity, and use employee surveys to understand ergonomic issues.

Title: Post-Mortem
Author: Girl Who Writes
Email: Ask and ye shall receive. Take and ye shall be beaten.
Timeline: This story takes place two years after the crash.
Disclaimer: I make no claim of ownership nor do I make any sort of profit from the use of these characters; they belong to J.J Abrams and the ABC. I am merely a poor fan who just used her last five dollars on EBay.
Author's Notes: This story was written with "Movie Magic" in mind. "Movie Magic" just sets the scene for Jack and Kate's relationship. This story will be approximately three chapters of around 650 words and was written to Dido's Album "Life for Rent".
Thank you to everyone who was so nice about my first fic, "Movie Magic". I hope you like this story as much.
I always thought that I would like to live by the sea.
They got rescued.
She remembers the day well, standing at the edge of the jungle, watching the others – her friends – line up alone the shoreline, shouting and waving.
She had true friends, for the first time in her life. Once, she had had Tom, but now… now, she has friends.
Sayid and Michael are stoking the fire as fast as they can; matches are being dropped into the sand, fizzing out, dead. Sayid and Michael are swearing and dropping more matches; she comes up behind them, laughing.
"Don't you want to get rescued, Kate?" Sayid looks at her, as she takes the matches and strikes it, lighting the wood the first try.
"Being stuck here wouldn't be the worse thing that's ever happened to me," she smiles to herself and steps back from the fire. She focuses in on it and tunes out the cries of the others.
She can hear Jack yelling himself hoarse, and she wonders. She wonders if the island was that agonising for him; would he remember their time together as a time of suffering because they were stuck on an island haunted by polar bears, or would he look back on his time on the island as something good because she was there with him?
She wonders if he remembers that she won't be going home with him.
She walks over to him, her arms crossed over her chest and a smile on her face. His face is flushed and he's laughing as the ship gets closer to the island. He drops his arm and loops one casually around her waist, staring out to see.
It's over.
Not because she doesn't love him; no, she loves him fiercely; the others found it almost comical how they circled around one another and attempted to protect each other. But they clung to each other; two years they've been here, and they both stayed strong.
No, it's over because the second she sets foot on that ship, she's on her way to prison. She won't be able to talk to him, see him… she'll be behind five inches of reinforced glass holding a grimy telephone to her ear – if he comes to visit her.
She leans into him, and the smile drops off her face. Her arms snake around his waist and for the first time since she met Jack Shepard, she doesn't feel comforted by his presence.
He looks down at her and their eyes meet briefly and their lips meet in one last, cool kiss; a kiss that left them both wondering exactly how they ended up having to leave each other.
She was right; her name was highlighted on the sheet that was faxed through. They had a pair of handcuffs ready for her and there were cries of protest as they hurled her around. And as Jack moved forward and she went to stop him, to tell him that it was alright, that she had earned this, it was Sawyer's fists that went flying.
And while one of the men lay on the sand, his hand cupped around his bleeding nose, Sawyer offered him a bitter smile, pulled a cigarette out of his back pocket and said, in that southern drawl that loaned his sentiments a sarcastic quality, "You don't treat the lady like that."
And she wonders what she did to be called a lady by Sawyer.
And as they lead her to the speed boat, to be taken out to the ship separately from the others, she sees Michael looking at something. Joanna's passport; too late for that now, even if she had gotten around to finishing it. Catching a look of the scorch mark over Joanna's photograph, she feels a vague twinge of regret.
She looks back only once, to see them all crowded along the shoreline, silently. She can hear Aaron crying and she can see Charlie's arm around Claire. She can see Jack and Sawyer stand together but alone as she is escorted out of their lives.
She doesn't see either of them again for a very long time.

Does all swelling eventually have to come down after rhinoplasty?
5 1/2 weeks post op. two weeks after my cast removal, my nose looked great. it was thinner, the hump was gone, etc. but within the past few weeks my nose ended up swelling more, instead of the swelling going down. so it's much bigger than it was before surgery. is it possible i couldve done something to make it swell more? will all swelling eventually go down?
Doctor Answers 3
thank you for your question. Selling after rhinoplasty is very common and usually lasts for a while. You should have regular follow up visits with your surgeon and follow their recommendations. The swelling will get better. Good luck!
Swelling after rhinoplasty
Swelling is common after rhinoplasty and can persist for a year or longer. Best of luck with your results.
Web reference: https://www.stevenwallachmd.com/face-procedures/rhinoplasty/
Swelling will go down.
At 1 month, you are very early in your recovery period and the nose is expected to be quite swollen at this point.The swelling during this time is rarely symmetric. One side will always resolve more quickly than the other. The majority of the swelling will resolve in 3-6 months, and will continue to resolve as your nose heals for up to 1-2 years. You have not reached your final shape as the nose will continue to heal and reduce in size for up to a year. Once it does reach its final shape you may be more pleased with the appearance of your nose.

Brody, Fate & Co.Mature
I hum as the sunlight tingles on my skin. Factor fifty. I'm surprised others like me haven't discovered it yet. I smile to myself, still humming tunelessly as I wander down the street, the scents of fresh bread from the bakery, coffee from Starbucks and the sweat of every human from here to the end of the street and beyond.
And the scent of something else. Everywhere I go, constantly.
My name's Brody.
The scent is near maddening. It's a wonder that any of us stay sane. I guess some don't.
I'm about thirty, going on twenty.
I keep walking and walking. I don't know if I'm meant to be meeting anyone here or not. To be honest, I'd rather be getting ready to go clubbing where I can pick up tonight's... date. Or something like that.
You want a physical description? Sure. I'm about six foot two, or something like that, lean, tanned, and gorgeous, if I do say so myself. Egotistical? Yes. But I wouldn't be so sure of myself if I didn't pick up a new person every night.
The sun's getting kinda hot now. Whoever it was that said they wanted to talk with me better fucking hurry up, or I'm going back to my apartment.

Ai Jing
|Ai Jing
Ai Jing in 2007
|Background information
|September 10, 1969
|People's Republic of China
|Rock, pop
|Singing, guitar
|Years active
Ai Jing (Chinese: 艾敬; pinyin: Ài Jìng; born 10 September 1969 in Shenyang, Liaoning[1][2]) is a mainland Chinese singer and painter. China's Northeast News called her "China's most talented female folk rock singer."[3]
Ai was born into a musical family: her father played several instruments, and her mother was a Pingju singer.[2][4] She attended the Shenyang Special School of Art,[5] joined the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe (Chinese: 东方歌舞团; pinyin: dōngfāng gēwǔ tuán) in Beijing at age 18, and first gained widespread attention with her 1992 song "My 1997" (Chinese: 我的1997; pinyin: wǒde yījiǔjiǔqī). A semi-autobiographical ballad[4] that has been compared to Cui Jian's "Nothing to My Name" in terms of its social impact,[6] the song tells about her love for a man living in Hong Kong, and how she eagerly awaits the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China so she can visit him.[5] After "My 1997", she performed throughout East and Southeast Asia for several years. The music video for her 1993 "Wandering Swallow" (Chinese: 流浪的燕子; pinyin: liúlàng de yànzi) won the Chunlan Cup MTV Convention.[4]
Nimrod Baranovitch describes Ai as one of China's first "independent, free, active, dynamic, perhaps even rebellious" female pop stars".[7] She is also known for having written and produced much of her own music, in a time when few Chinese artists were doing so.[7][8] Much of her music defied stylistic rules and incorporated Western folk and rock styles.[9] But after her early albums, Baranovitch claims, Ai's popularity decreased as her themes became more "personal and nonconformist",[10] and she faced "antagonism" from men within the music industry because she did not sexually objectify herself and because her introduction of new musical styles challenged the male-dominated industry.[10]
Ai moved to New York in 1997, and since then has mostly lived in the United States, although she recorded her 2003 album Is it a Dream? (是不是梦) in the United Kingdom.[8] In the late 1990s Ai switched her focus to painting, and had her first professional exhibition in 2008.[4] She has also acted in three[2] films: Five Girls and a Rope (五个女子和一根绳子; 1991), Beijing Bastards (北京杂种; 1993), and From the Queen to the Chief Executive (等候董建华发落; 2000).[5]

Duncan hunter is great. He's not a top tier presidential candidate, but a good VP pick.
I think the VP slot is settled though isn't it? It'll be one of the losers of Romney/Giuliani/Thompson.

The libs don't really want the fairness doctrine. They just want to bitch about it.
If it were to be imposed then we would have to change to following.
NPR, LA Times, New York Times, Readers Digest, CNN, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, ABC.
Al Jeseera, suffice to say all MSM news outlets. The issue is just an ideological issue they want to look intellectual about.

Al Jeseera, suffice to say all MSM news outlets. The issue is just an ideological issue they want to look intellectual about.
The dems want to keep the issue alive as a point of sufferage.
The primary argument of the left for the reasonability of the fairness doctrine in radio is that the airwaves are owned by the public. The right argues that there is no fairness doctrine being threatened against the NYT, LAT, etc., which the left says is because they are private businesses (which is obviously true). What is the counterargument of the right?
samuelrylander on June 28, 2007 at 10:36 AM
The dems have the same crack at the airwaves as the conservatives. They have tried, god knows they have tried. But their shtick wont draw enough employed people to make it profitable. NBC, ABC and CBS are on public air waves too.
If the leftist propaganda was commercially viable Air America would be successful.
That's a good argument.

I actually find it sad that none of the our 1st row candidates found time to say more than a few words about the ShAmnesty bill. I expected more from Fred, got about what I expected from "Sanctuary City" Rudy, and "big business" Mitt.
Hunter and Tancredo are SOLID conservatives with great voting records and both have stood by us through this ordeal. I do however have to give the edge to Tancredo for sending Chertoff a head of lettuce and fruit basket for his stupid remarks. You have to love it when a candidate plays the game the same way we do!
I'm thinking that ShAmnesty and enforcing our immigration laws may need to stay at the top of our attention this election cycle. It's a loser for the DEMs and quite a few of the Republicans.

Hunter/Thompson is the way to go. We need to hear more from Duncan Hunter. He's the true conservative we need. NO MORE RINOS!

Every time I hear Mr. Hunter speak, I find myself more and more impressed. I will be turning my ear in his direction every chance I get from now on! I like what I'm hearing!!!

I like Tancredo, but he's almost a clown at this point. Tanc's lettuce gag is great, but it's a stunt.
It's too bad that more people don't consider Hunter a higher caliber candidate. He's been my (silent) preference for months. He is solidly conservative, and he has never been silly (that I know of).
I like Fred! too, but I wonder if he isn't more sizzle than steak.
Obviously, McCain is essentially gone; but the dirty, little secret I need to share is that Rudy won't get my vote either. I'll just skip the presidential vote and move down the ballot. I will vote for Mitt if it comes right down to it, but I would much prefer a principled conservative than another opportunisitic faker (with an A, mind you).

Of the two primary debates I saw, I was most impressed with Duncan Hunter. I didn't know anything about him before the debates but after watching them each two or three times I decided that of the announced candidates, Hunter was my first choice.
I'm hoping for a Thompson/Hunter ticket, although I'm uncommitted to Thompson until I see him in action. The opinion pieces he's been releasing are outstanding, but how is he going to perform in a debate?
So I'm a Fred!?!
If Thompson doesn't hold up to expectations, I hope Hunter gets the nod.
I like Tancredo but I doubt he has a shot at being on the ticket, so I'm hoping he will have a cabinet post, perhaps the head of Homeland Security, assuming it isn't dismantled.
Bolton would be an excellent Secretary of State.

I've actually liked Hunter for a while. When I have tried to talk him up, even to conservative friends offline, unfortunately the response is Duncan who? People have been talking about looking for a real conservative and he's been there all along. But for some reason, not gaining any ground.
PowWow on June 28, 2007 at 4:56 PM
I've liked Duncan Hunter since I first saw him in one of the debates. I don't know why he isn't getting more attention than he is?!
For those of you not voting if you don't like the Republican candidate, think of the consequences if a Democrat gets in.

Hunter and Tancredo (and Huckabee) are the strongest conservatives running for President. I'm sick of settling, and yet all I hear is people saying "Sure, he's great, but he's got no traction". Then it's time for you and me to create some traction! Serve your conscience, and support the best men, do it with positive action. There is far more to be gained by telling people why they should like someone than repeatedly telling people why they shouldn't like someone.
In a perfect world, Hunter, Tancredo, Huckabee, Brownback and Tommy Thompson all get together and decide which of them has the best shot. All the others drop back in behind that man, and throw him over the top.
Since that isn't going to happen, and since people will NOT suddenly and passionately support the "second tier" candidates no matter how much you agree with them, the next best choice is a man who is at least nearly as conservative as them, knows how the game is played, and has integrity and sincerity.

I do not like any of the main candidates. Mitt I can live with but none of the others make an empression on me. Never thought of Hunter as a candidate but he is impressive here.

We built the Alaska pipeline in 7 years I bet we could build the wall in 2 years if we our mind to it.
During that 2 years we could systematically ramp up the crack down on employers.
And make citizenship mandatory for medical care and education. We could demand cash payment from the Mexican or what ever other consulate before we treat any patients.
No matter what anyone says…, I believe that we have a lot of good people to choose from. Let's hope the party chooses and backs Hunter or someone of his caliber. Unfortunately, senators and representatives don't usually fair as well as governors and sitting VPs. I don't see Cheney running, so maybe things will be different this time around. I'd settle for any of our guys, except Ron Paul, but Man…! I pray that Fred! and the best (rest?) of the good guys show strongly and drag the standards to the right. Please, bless us, Ronaldus Maximus.

Duncan hunter is great. He's not a top tier presidential candidate…
Why not? This is a circular trap. He's not a top tier candiate because no one knows him and no one knows him because he doesn't get much media attention, It's a crying shame, BUT if he gains momentum, he can beat the pantsuit off of HRC in 2012.
His wife may be a problem because she's not a fashion plate and a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother.
Tom Tancredo would be a good VP candidate for Duncan, but again the good guys come in last.

On Top of the HillMature
"Are you-"
When she screamed, it was high and terrified. One smooth bank of sound, rattling up in pitch.
"No one ever sees me, Mel."
"Melissa!" She shrieked and tried to climb. I know she did. I felt the leaves and twigs fall stinging on my face and in my eyes as I turned my head to look. But some dark forbidden sense told me she would never make it in time.
"You did, Mel. You saw me. You saw me when you slept. When you dreamt. You knew what I was before you ever touched me."
Anna paused in the tree, trying to decide whether to leap straight down or climb, tears on her face and panic in her muscles. That wild, irresistible girl. Afraid. She caught my eye, then, and I couldn't help it.
I smiled.
I don't know if she heard me.
I don't know if my words made sense.
"It's okay, Anna."
It's okay.
When the thing coiled through my middle moved, the pain came back and I screamed that same gargled sound. I dropped to my knees. And I bled.
I wish I could have seen the sky, instead.
But dying hardly ever happens when you want it to. And rarely in the way you need it to.
"You set me free."
That twisted little tree had sucked the wildness out of Anna. Had drained away her energy. But if we were to compare our losses, mine would be the greater.
Because it had sucked away my life.
There sits a tree on top of the hill at the end of the town. It is a little bent, a little out of shape. But everybody thinks about it, and everybody goes there. Where its bark is smooth and warm, people have carved their names and initials. Have tattooed its skin with their thoughts. And its easier to sap a little of all their lives to keep myself upright and waiting, instead of all the life of one of them.
There is a tree on the top of the hill at the end of the town. And underneath it, a thousand different graves all piled upon each other.
