Dolly was dreaming about him again. Sloane often appeared in her dreams, usually to comfort her in times of trouble. They were sitting at a table, facing each other
'Dont give up hope. I know its hard right now, but we will meet again,very soon,' he said softly to her, caressing her face gently.
'But when?' Said Dolly, her sad deep blue eyes looking into his green eyes. 'I've missed you so much!'
'Any time now,' he said with a sweet smile. I've missed you too my Dolores...' He took her little hand in his and kissed her gently 'We won't have long to wait.'
'Dont go!' She begged as he started to fade away.
'I must go my dearest, but any time now... I love you Dolores...' He said as he faded away, stroking her cheek and giving her a beautiful smile. Dolly turned in her sleep, a sweet smile on her face.
What on earth happened, how did I...? Rosechan thought, staring at her reflection. She was dressed in a beautiful white wedding dress, her hair done up beautifully. Weird, she thought. Am I not a little too young for this? Suddenly her face looked different, more mature maybe, or tired? She got up and opened the door,which lead out into a giant hall, like a church. There were people sitting in the pews. At the very end of the giant hall was a priest holding a book,and facing him a young man in a smart black tuxedo. She didn't stop until she got to him, all the while looking for her parents and bro, who she hoped would be there to witness her big day. As she stood next to him, he said 'There you are Rosechan, I've been waiting for you'- as he turned to face her,'my bride!' The groom had turned into Slappy and Rosechan screamed, almost fainting. As she turned around in horror, she noticed all the people weren't actually people at all but dummies, and they all laughed at her,their wooden mouths clackety-clacking open and shut. She turned and ran trying to get away from it all, catching sight of her hands, which to her horror, had turned wooden. She held them up to her face screaming in terror as little woodworms started to ooze out. Her legs too had turned to wood and she felt she couldn't run. 'NO!' She suddenly woke up, breathing rapidly until she began to clam down a little. She looked at the clock,it read 01:00 am. She had had a weird scary day, and now a scary night too. She wished she had never looked for a new job in the first place, then she would never have met Slappy again. She was feeling the stress, and wished she could tell someone about what was going on. But she couldn't even tell her parents. She didn't want to go back to sleep, afraid of what she might dream next.
In the school locker, Slappy was asleep and dreaming too. He found himself in what seemed like an decrepit attic which was full of old furniture,paintings and toys. He wondered what he was doing there or who had put him there. He was looking around at his surroundings, when something caught his eye in the far corner. He walked over to it and on close inspection saw it was a glass case with a beautiful doll inside. 'Hello, there!' He cried out happily. 'Wait a minute...why do I feel as if I know you?' he wondered, somewhat puzzled. Just who was she? He never found out, because at that moment something woke him from his dreams. The school bell.
The next morning, Rosechan tried her best to get to school without falling asleep on the way. She hadn't had a very restful night. As she walked through the school hall to get to her locker, she noticed 2 girls she had never seen before. They were obviously new and she wanted to go over to them and say hello, and show them round. She loved meeting new people and helping them out. But before she could do either, she heard her name being shouted:
'Rosechan!' It was miss Turner, the deputy head. 'What is the meaning of this?'
'What is it Miss Turner?' Rosechan replied in surprise.
'Come here,' the teacher replied, getting angrier. Rosechan followed her to the lockers,where every single one had red paint all over its door. Rosechan was horrified. She unlocked her locker,inside was Slappy, sitting in a pool of red. All her books had been covered in red paint. She just stood and stared for ages
'Well? What is the meaning of this?' her teacher shouted,getting impatient.
'Um, I'm wondering that myself too, miss.' And then,a most bizarre thing happened. She found herself confessing against her will.
'It was me, I did it all' she tried to clamp a hand over her mouth to stop anymore rubbish pouring out. 'I took some red paint and painted the lockers,then put it back in my locker next to my dummy, so that it would look like he had done it instead,hehehe!' she covered her mouth again. 'Please don't be mad at him, it was all my doing!' Miss Turner stared at her as if she were mad.
'This is hardly a laughing matter missy! Why would you do something like this?'
'Because I thought the lockers were bit dull and boring, being the same colour all the time, so decided to brighten them up a little.'
'Alright that's enough!' Barked miss Turner. 'You'd better go to the heads office and explain what you just told me! I doubt he will find it very amusing either.'
In the heads office, Rosechan gave the exact same explanation. As a result she was commended for her honesty but was given detention for vandalising school property, not to mention, a long lecture on how school property should be respected at all times.
She left the office glumly, Slappy tucked under her arm. Being his Slave was harder than she anticipated, and she couldn't see a way out any time soon. She was about to put him back into her locker, when someone called her again.
'Hey Rosechan! Time for improv club, are you coming?' It was Ginny, her classmate from the drama club.
'Hi Ginny! Yes I am, please wait while I put this back...'
'Hey, he looks funny!' Said Ginny, seeing Slappy.'Bring him to class! He can perform for us.'
'Uh, I don't think that's such a good idea, and I'm not really a practicing ventriloquist anyway, and...'
'No excuses! Besides, we will be late.' She grabbed Rosechan by the hand and pulled her along.
When they got to the drama room, all the members were there, and being a small class, there werent many. Rosechan also noticed 2 new members, the girls she had seen that morning but never got a chance to talk to, She smiled at them before sitting down, giving them a little wave. The improv club was an optional activity and had been set up by the students themselves and was dedicated to performances- dance, drama, poetry, comedy, etc. The club put on many performances, especially for the holidays. It was usually on during free class or lunch time. Free class meant that there weren't any lessons, so students could use this time to study, write assignments, do a project, practice music or sport, join a club or even take a doctors appointment. This was also handy if any of the the students/teachers needed to take a morning off. Some authorities disapproved of free class as they claimed it wasnt educational and a waste of time, but because of this Wacky High's students had actually done quite well, and were ahead of even the most famous schools. Which only proved that having free time to express oneself other than studying all the time did the students a lot of good.
'Hello everyone, and welcome to another session of improv class! Before we start, I have a few announcements to make. First, Halloween is coming up, so any ideas as to what we should do in honour would be very welcome indeed. Second, we have 2 new girls, welcome to our club!' Everyone greeted them. 'Now, Rosechan has brought a puppet with her today, maybe you'd like to introduce it?'
'Uh, he is a ventriloquist Dummy, actually,' said Rosechan, a tad agitated by Ginny's ignorance.
'Puppet, Dummy, whatever,' Ginny smiled somewhat sarcastically. She was the leader of the group and a bit of a popular girl type.
'Please go ahead, Rosechan,' smiled Danielle, Ginny's friend.
'Ok, here goes,' Rosechan got Slappy into position on her lap, put her hand behind his head and began.
'So, welcome to the improv club, Slappy! We are all about performing, so I'm sure you will like it here,' she said with a shy smile. 'Say hi to the lovely people Slappy.' Slappy turned his head around, raising his eyebrows before his wooden mouth opened.
'Hello, Ginny! So, you think I'm funny do ya? Well, I think your face is a scream! Hahahahaa!'
'Hey!' Cried Ginny. 'What you doing Rosechan?'
'Slappy, that wasnt nice, apologise!'
Danielle, Ginny's friend giggled at the funny remark.
'Oh not you too!' Ginny berated her.
'And you,' he said, turning to Danielle, 'Shouldnt you eat more? Pretty soon, you'd be able to play your ribs like a xylophone!'
'Stop it Slappy!' Shouted Rosechan. 'I'm sorry guys, its not me!'
'Hey! I'm not that skinny! Take it back! I've always defended you Rosechan, and this is how you treat me?'
'Its not my doing!' Cried Rosechan, nearly in tears.
'And you two can be my slaves!' Slappy turned to the 2 new girls. Oh no, thought Rosechan, not the new girls Slappy, please, they look lovely! Slappy continued with the insults, which had everyone getting angry at Rosechan except the new girls, who didn't seem to mind and thought it was some funny act.
'I'm so sorry guys, we are leaving. I told you I was no good Ginny! I'm so sorry everyone, it's him, he is cursed! I can't control him!' But she realised that this talk made her sound all the more crazy and only convinced the girls further that it was her doing. The girls were relieved to watch her go.
'You are crazy! And don't come back!' Yelled Ginny after her. So now she had been kicked out of the club too. Rosechan felt terrible. It was time for lunch, so she went to the cafeteria.
'Who needs that drama club anyway?' Retorted Slappy. 'We will perform solo! Now get me some wood chips slave, I haven't eaten in years!'
'No way Slappy! Not after the way you just behaved. Besides, I don't know where they are.' She got her lunch, then sat down at an empty table, putting Slappy on the chair next to her. Just then, she saw the 2 girls from her drama class coming towards her. Feeling afraid of what they might say, she bundled Slappy under her jacket and hid behind her history book, to look as if she was busy studying. Too late.
'Hey, you're the girl with the dummy, aren't you?' Said one of the girls
'Sadly,yes! I'm so sorry for what happened in class, I didn't mean for him to say those things, especially to you girls. If you want to punch me in the face and berate me, please go ahead. Everybody else hates me already.' She braced herself.
'Oh no, that's not what we came for!' Said the other girl.
'We wanted say hi and see your dummy! We thought he was funny!' Said her friend.
'Uh, you have? You're not mad at me?' Rosechan was surprised.
'No! We think that's an amazing talent to have, and we kind of have an interest in dolls and dummies,' explained the first girl.'By the way, I'm Niky!'
'And I'm Sandora!' The second girl introduced herself.
'I'm Rosechan,' Rosechan held out her hand relieved and let them sit at the table. 'So happy to meet you two, especially with similar tastes to mine! Its hard to find people with the same interests, a lot of my classmates are into anything girls are new right?'
'Yes!' Said Sandora. 'We moved up here at a similar time.'
'We are neighbours, living in the same building,' said Niky. 'This is a nice area to live, everyone is so friendly.'
'So, how long have you been performing ventriloquism?'
'Um, not long actually,' admitted Rosechan. 'Only a couple of days.'
'Wow, but you're amazing!' Sandora was astonished.
'Thanks!'Rosechan blushed. 'But to tell the truth, it's not really ventriloquism, it's not really my doing...'
'So where is your dummy?' Asked Niky.
'Um, he's...Rosechan said reluctantly.
'Hey slave! Get me out of this jacket before I boil! You have no idea how hot it is here! It's easy for you, you're wearign a t-shirt but I'm stuck in this suit I can't get out of, and now your jacket!' The girls gasped as they heard the voice, then looked towards the shaking jacket.
'How...?!' Niky was astonished.
'You didn't even move your lips, and you had your hand on the table the whole time, so how did you do that?' Wondered Sandora.
'Well...' Rosechan began. 'Its a long story, and very hard to explain. You won't believe me, but here goes.' And she told them all about Slappy.
'Wow, so is he like a living doll?' said Niky in amazement.
'Yes, as crazy as it sounds'
'But that's... That's even more amazing than just a ventriloquist dummy!' Said Sandora, excited.
'Yeah, but he is evil too. No idea who has cursed him, or why. i really wish i knew.' At that moment Slappys muffled voice called out again.
'Hey slave! I said get me out of here!' Rosechan took the jacket of him and got him out, placing him on the table.
'Happy now? And don't you dare hurt my friends!'
'I'm starving! All that work does make a dummy hungry. Get me some woodchips, and I will go easy on your friends!' Slappy said.
'Ok, fine!' Sighed Rosechan. 'Lets go, shall we? We can go up to the woodwork room, they will have chips there. And there's 10 mins left.' So the 3 girls and Slappy left to go to the woodwork room, where Slappy dived into a pile of woodchips, munching happily. Rosechan sighed and sat down.
School was coming to a close, and Rosechan was on her way to her locker.
'Hey Rosechan!' Niky and Sandora called out to her.
'Hey girls! Lovely to see you again. Are you free this afternoon? I thought maybe you would like to come to mine for a bit.'
'Sure!' Said Niky.
'Me too! Let me just get my things for tomorrow,' said Sandora as she opened her locker. Rosechan noticed some pages inside, with cartoons on them. They looked amazing, so professional.
'Sandora, did you draw them? You have an exceptional talent!'
'Yes I did, and thank you so much!'
'You must join the drawing club here then, you'll be just what they need,' explained Rosechan.
'Id like to join too, I love drawing!' Chimed in Niky.
'Yes, you should Niky, your art is amazing too!' Marvelled Rosechan over her drawings. I wish I could draw. But I'm not bad with a camera, so I'm part of the picture club!' As the girls left the school, Rosechan explained about all the different groups and activities the school had to offer. She felt happy to have met 2 new friends after her ordeals, and relieved to be free of Slappy for the afternoon at least. At hers they had hot choc each with cakes and cookies. Then they spent the afternoon looking at her books, telling each other their life stories and drawing. Rosechan even introduced them to her parents and brother.

Benelux firm Stibbe has announced a 7 per cent increase in turnover for the 2013 year, with revenue rising from €127m in 2012 to €136m (£113.8m).
The rise has coincided with the announcement by the firm of the election of Derk Lemstra as its new managing partner. Corporate partner Lemstra took over from Heleen Kersten in January. He has previously held management roles including London managing partner (25 February 2005).
Lemstra said Stibbe's performance in 2013 had been driven by all the firm's departments. However he pointed to a solid year in M&A particularly.
Mandates Stibbe advised on last year included Philips Electronics' sale of its lifestyle entertainment business to Japanese company Funai Electric (1 February 2013), Intercontinental Exchange's $11bn (£6.79bn) takeover of NYSE Euronext (25 November 2013), and the €7.4bn acquisition of coffee company D.E Master Blenders 1753 by an investor group.
Lemstra added that the firm's success was due to a focus of developing each practice group as a strong, standalone unit and also developing a dialogue with clients over their needs.
Stibbe's headcount rose last year, with the firm now employing a total of 700 people. Lemstra said it had never stopped hiring during the last few years, but had ramped up its efforts last year, particularly in Luxembourg, where it opened in 2010 (12 August 2010).
Most of the headcount growth came below partner level, although the firm did pick up partner-level laterals including White & Case's Stefan Odeurs and Dries Hommez in Brussels (20 March 2013).
Stibbe also saw some partner departures last year too, notably to boutique launches Strelia (7 January 2013) and Rutgers & Posch (8 February 2013).
Last year was the second full year since the firm pulled out of its alliance with legacy Herbert Smith and Germany's Gleiss Lutz (24 November 2011). Lemstra said Stibbe was committed to its independence.

BeschreibungLife sciences have huge controversial social implications. In doing experiments with animals, plants or humans the welfare of these living beings can be hampered; in communicating research results private and public interests can be harmed (patents!) or at least severely influenced; in being a member of a research group issues of human rights (like discriminatory behaviour) can become prominent; individual and collective forms of responsibility because of controversial types of research can become urgent. Funding organizations can confront scientists and engineers with new ethical issues; the public at large or, as is the case with sustainability, future generations can challenge existing ways of doing research, and educating and teaching can confront scientists with new ethical issues. In this book, resulting from an expert workshop at Wageningen University and Research Centre, European and American experts discuss topics and theories like the relationship between ethics, professional ethics and business ethics, the public responsibility of researchers and communicating, organizing, teaching and discussing ethical issues.

As manager Robin Ventura was exiting his first media session of the spring Friday at Camelback Ranch, he casually was asked a question the White Sox don't want to have to address again.
Is Chris Sale the opening-day starter?
"As long as he doesn't fall out of a truck," Ventura called back.
The Sox could do without the drama of worrying about Sale missing the season opener, and Sale is looking forward to a spring that doesn't involve sitting in a training room and waiting for his fractured foot to mend, as happened a year ago after a spring accident. The injury thrust former Sox pitcher Jeff Samardzija into Sale's opening-day role.
"I'll stay down...

On the banks of the Hunter River, tucked away in Upper Hunter Country is historical Aberdeen located between Muswellbrook and Scone on the New England Highway. Aberdeen is close to many attractions including the wineries of the Upper Hunter, Lake Glenbawn Recreation area and world class Thoroughbred Horse studs. The town boasts a range of historical sites from the early 1800's and offers visitors a chance to explore these sites in a town tour. For over 100 years, the Aberdeen Meat Works had been the largest beef and lamb shipping company in Australia for export until its closure in 1999. Across the railway line and on the edge of town are the ruins of the Butter Factory and Flour Mill. Aberdeen also boats one of the most famous pie shops on the New England Highway. For 21 years, Crofts pies have been traditionally made by the family. Every July, Aberdeen residents don their kilts and prepare for a celebration of Gaelic proportions for the Aberdeen Highland Games - a festival celebrating the Scottish heritage and traditions of the first founders of Aberdeen. The Games begins with a street parade that features 12 pipe bands, clan societies and various floats, moving from the main street into Jefferson Park for the opening of the Games. The Games include tournaments and competitions including jousting, tartan warriors, tug - o - war, haggis haul, egg throwing, kilted dash, three legged race, and highland dress competitions. The day concludes with a Ceilidh evening featuring Scottish cuisine, beverages and music.

Aberdeen: Where To Go / Sightseeing
Muswellbrook Heritage Walk

Aberdeen Golf Club
The par 70 course provides a good challenge to all levels of golfer. Although some holes are quite short in distance, the challenge is provided by smaller than average greens which are long and narrow meaning supreme accuracy is required with approaches. The slicing golfer is slightly disadvantaged compared to straighter or hooking hitters as hazards or out-of-bounds fences line every fairway on the right hand side. A CCR of 66 is a reasonable assessment of the course but golfers new to the course do have trouble with the narrow greens on some holes especially the opening two holes.
No tee times are required. Just turn up on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday and be greeted by friendly Aberdeen members who are glad to show you around.

text: I see that this is a old thread, but it concerns several problems I have had, first I have to say buying a 3 inch 1911 from just about any manufacturer is a crapshoot, if you get a good one great, but you are just as likely to get junk, years ago when I got the 1911 bug a bought a real nice Springfield full size, this gun seems to be a real tac driver, feeds anything, then a deal came up on a Colt Commander, this also shoots any ammo I stuff in it, then I got the bright, or possably stupid idea of wanting a 3 inch for carry, worked a deal on a Kimber Ultra Pro Raptor, very nice handleing gun accurate as anything, but it had operatonal issues, FTF and FTE, right off the bat, a good local smith had a look at it, polished the ramp and replaced the extractor it was better, but it still had issues, sent out to Kimber, get back 2 mts later, said replaced the extractor and polished chamber ??? it now works about like it did before the local guy looked at it, and also by now it has had well over 500 rds through it, so you can see by now I'm ready to put the gun on the target trolley and shoot it, the shop I deal with ahs been great about the whole thing and offered to trade back so, I trade for a small Spingfield 3 inch, would not get though a whole mag without issues, took it to another shop, traded for a small Sig 3 inch, not much better, next was a Para Slim Hog, now this gun was real junk it would not even cycle ball ammo, by now you can see how I was extreamly pissed, got away from the idea for a while, then a little shop I deal with got in a Colt Defender, after looking over for a couple days, it went home with me, and it has by now well over 1200 rds, though it all differant types, weights, no preferance to mags, nothing it just worked, except now my wife wanted one to, my main gun guy had a used one in the case, after 200 plus rds I decided it was junk also, take it back and the only 3 inch he had was a Kimber Ultra CDP, so we traded and mama now carrys the Colt and after 500+ rds without a hicup the Kimber is now my EDC, and at this time I would not trade ANY of my 1911s, sorry about the long rant, but a couple of things I really have to pass on is be very causus of a used 3 inch 1911, and if it is used and the ramp on the frame has been polished even a little, leave the gun where you found it, and lastly I could be wrong but personaly I thing this 400-500 rd break in is BULL, if it dont work right out of the box ether trade it or get your money back, maybe the manufacturer can fix it but also maybe not, meanwhile you have blown $200-$300 dollars trying to break it in

Youths threw their hats in the air and carried each other around Drzengoff Circle, Tel Aviv's main entertainment area. Defease Minister Moshe Dayan went on national television to hail the truce as "a very important step. "Today," Dayan told the Israeli nation, "we have come closer to a settlement than at any time since the 1967 Middle East war." But amid the national exuberance, some doubts were expressed. "Today I'm happy," said a Tel Aviv youth. "Tomorrow, I'll be skeptical."

Arson was suspected. The blaze was still burning but apparently contained about ll p.m. There were no reports of injuries or deaths. The hundreds who battled the flames were already tired from fighting several range fires in Stephens County dining the last three days. No loss of livestock was determined immediately, and fences were cut to try to get cattle to safe areas. But one rancher said there was "bound to have been some" loss of livestock. At least a partial list of ranchers whose land was damaged included Ed Ford, Henry Wesley, C. D. Dofflemyer, A. A. Tate, R. B. Roberts, Lee Burgess, Roy Corbett, Donald Dollar and Mrs. Agnes Collins. The fire broke out on ranches along the Possum Kingdom Lake Road east of Ivan about 1:30 p.m. Ranchers in the area said there was definite evidence in four places that the fires had been set deliberately. Just Wednesday 4,000 acres burned on the west side of U.S. 183 about six miles west of Friday's fire. Arson was also suspected in that fire. Arson was suspected in range fire near Haskell Monday.

The latest kidnaping came only hours before the midnight deadline which the leftist group had set for the government to free an estimated 150 prisoners in exchange for the foreign hostages. Shortly after Claude Fly of Fort Collins, Colo., was taken from a laboratory in which he worked, four suspected Tupamaro chieftains were seized by police in the first break since the wave of kidnaping? began last Friday.

Men in orotective clothes carefully hoisted concrete and steel vaults containing the obsolete but still-dangerous rockets onto gondola-type freight cars at Army depots near the two cities while the furor over disposal continued. Trains are to leave the depots Monday for a slow trip through several Southeastern states to Sunny Point, N.C., where an old liberty ship is waiting for the deadly cargo. The 12,500 rockets are to be towed to a point 283 miles off Cape Kennedy, Fla., and sunk in waters 16,000 feet deep. Newsmen, at the loading docks at the two Army Depots were permitted to watch part of the operations. But first they were given physical examinations, gas masks and syrettes of the nerve gas antidote atropine.

Indiana family reunited with missing dog in Atlanta
ATLANTA - An Indiana family was reunited with their missing dog in Atlanta on Monday, nearly 500 miles from where she disappeared.
Karen and Victor Stievenart told Channel 2's Craig Lucie that their dog, Jasmine, disappeared in April from their home in Terre Haute, Ind.
She slipped out of her collar and the Stievenarts think she may have hitched a ride south with a trucker or a family with a camper. They live about a mile from the interstate.
Somehow the dog traveled to Atlanta where a woman brought her to Fulton County Animal Services.
The woman said Jasmine jumped right into her car, but she's not sure where the dog was before.
Once animal officers started inspecting Jasmine they found a microchip implanted in the dog and quickly identified her owners.
The Stievenarts drove to Atlanta last weekend and arrived at FCAS on Monday morning.
Jasmine yelped and jumped right up to lick and hug Karen Stievenart as soon as officials brought her out of the kennel.
"I've been checking the shelter in Terre Haute every day. They are tired of seeing me," Karen Stievenart told Channel 2's Craig Lucie.
Spokeswoman Lara Hudson said FCAS and Lifeline Animal Project offer a reduced fee microchip implant and registration for $25.

"Pariah" is a short film directed by Dee Rees and set in a nightclub. The main characters in the film are black women who are marginalized by their community and the rest of the world. The film is an infrequently goofy, tender, yet candid examination of emerging sexual identity. In as much as the film exudes distinct features especially lighting, voiceover, narration and characters, it is necessary to explore the numerous viewpoints and compare them with scholarly research. The film's uniqueness sets it apart from thug-life, drugs and violent nature of movies that characterized other black films. Other themes that come out are self-liberation, coming of age and searching for self- identity. The use of black characters in the film illustrates their independence especially concerning sexuality. The director wanted to prove that lesbianism does not originate from whites because it is a personal decision. However, Hill argued that same-sex relationships were rare among African-Americans because they were taboos. It is stated, "Black gays and lesbians have criticized these same sexual politics that deny their right to be fully accepted within churches, families, and other Black community organizations" (Collins 88). Consequently, few blacks ended up being gays compared to whites who were free to exploit their sexuality. The director uses Alike as the main character because she is an A student from stable family and aspires to be a poet. Though she knows she is a lesbian, she has never told her family member about it. Apart from this, Alike is yet to explore her sexuality like her friends Laura and Bina.
Mignon (126) defines feminism as a state of being weak while masculinity corresponds with dominance. Mignon employs such a theory when defending men and women who are gays. According to the author, a woman who is as strong as other men should be allowed to date women while weak men should be treated like women. This is true for Alike who has male features. She ends up dating girls instead of men. "Rather than a de-emphasis on femininity or masculinity, gender blenders combine specific aspects of both to create a unique look. They usually wear certain men's clothing like pants or shoes, combined with something less masculine like a form-fitting shirt or a little makeup" (Mignon 125).
Alike introduces the audience to the lives of black lesbians. She demonstrates how they struggle to accept and understand their identity. It is important to note that unlike other scholars, who believed all blacks practiced immoral sexual behavior in Europe to earn a living; Rees uses Alike who comes from a stable family to prove that lesbianism is a state of mind rather than means of earning a living. Alike sexuality is not influenced by material gains, but rather a desire to find happiness and identity.
Rees assumption of lesbians differs with Esther Newton. She blames homosexuality on drug influence and wrong role models. According to her, people prefer to have wrong sexual orientation after aping other people or taking drugs. Furthermore, Newton claims that the physical state of being a man or a woman is not real. Consequently, it does not describe the identity of a person. Esther believes the state of being a man or a woman can be equated to customs worn by actors. According to her an individual can put on cloths of the opposite gender to play a role meant for that gender. She uses this assumption to defend women such as Alike who have male characteristics. She believes that such women should date fellow women because they have male tendencies inside them. She states, "my 'outside' appearance is feminine, but my essence 'inside' is masculine" (Newton 103).
Alike highlights difficult life experiences that sexual outcasts experience in a hostile society. Alike experiences hostility from the society that has struggled to maintain morality as the main ingredient that holds the society. Throughout the film, Alike struggles to find her space as a sexually unique person. However, she encounters rejection and oppression because of her race, class, sexuality and gender. Just as the title of the film that means rejection, Alike is rejected at her home because she is forced to hide her sexuality from her parents. She wonders whether she would eventually live her own life. Alike eventually experiences a dilemma because she is unable to choose between her best friend who is teaching her how to become a lesbian and her mother who wants her to be morally upright. Collins (105) affirms the argument by claiming that the society imprisons and persecutes gays. He further equates oppression of gays to racism that the black people face. Nonetheless, Alike has accepted lesbianism as part of her life because she teaches herself how to live such a life. The rest of the world who are represented by her religious mother and other anti-gays must learn to live with lesbians. It is important to note that Alike is not struggling to live as a lesbian. However, the world is struggling to live with her as a lesbian.
The setting of the film in a club is meant to associate lesbians with immoral and drunkards who have lost their morality. It is also used to associate clubs with places where the rich people go to spend their money to attain sexual satisfaction. This is evident in the money splashed on Alike as she strips in the club. The club is also a place where wayward children go to spend their time and have fun as they are forbidden from engaging in such acts in their homes. Their parents expect them to grow up as responsible and moral people who can become future parents. The ideology forces Alike's mother to become strict because she does not allow her to keep wayward friends. The plot of the film revolves around Brooklyn that was a home for the blacks because the whites are hardly represented in the film. Consequently, the setting exposes the boundary that exists between whites and blacks.
"Pariah" is a crucial film for gay teens and their families. One of the viewpoints that is not captured is the fact that several parents in the real world have not understood that the world is changing. Consequently, their children are not what they seem to be. Parents should use the film to educate their children on sexuality and adolescence. The use of curse words and slang in the film should create awareness among parents that their children are not enhancing their linguistic abilities. It is also ironical that Alike who aspires to be a poet associates with people like Laura who use casual language that does not adhere to any grammatical rules.
"Pariah" is a film that exudes distinct features especially lighting, voiceover, narration and characters. However, exploring numerous viewpoints and comparing them with scholarly research enhances the audience's understanding. The conflicting reactions to black sexuality enrich societal understanding.

Newsweek's Evan Thomas and NPR's Nina Totenberg, likely reflecting the attitude of many of their Washington press corps colleagues, declared Barack Obama's connection to unrepentant terrorist William Ayers as an out of bounds subject for the campaign. On Inside Washington, a weekly show produced and aired over the weekend by Washington, DC's ABC affiliate, but first broadcast Friday night on the local PBS station, Thomas, Editor at Large with Newsweek, charged: "If he loses the election because of that, it's a disgrace." Totenberg alleged Sarah Palin's anti-Obama rhetoric is "pretty ugly and a little scary" and scolded the panel for even arguing over the relevance of Ayers: "Given what we are in, this is a stupid conversation."
Thomas fretted:
If he [Obama] loses the election because of that, it's a disgrace for him. If the Republicans make that the issue at the end, it's a disgrace....They should not be trying to beat Obama based on the company he kept. It's bad company, shouldn't have done it, but it shouldn't be the controlling issue.
Last Friday on the same show, as recounted in an October 3 NewsBusters item, Thomas likened Sarah Palin to Louisiana's infamous demagogic Democrat of the 1920s, Huey Long. Reacting to Palin's suggestion in the VP debate that the Vice President has a legislative role, Thomas contended:
Here's what's disturbing: Either she didn't know, because actually the legislative role is just about zero as Biden says, or scarier she has a little bit of Huey Long in her. The kind of -- you could see her being a demagogue, saying "I got to do this, the rules are in the way, to heck with the rules, let's do it."

Also, if you have links of some really good tutorial for SQL and PL SQL oracle 10g or 11g then please help with same :)
When approaching Oracle you should forget everything you know from SQL Server. The products are fundamentally and profoundly different, from their internal architecture all the way out through their user interfaces. The similarities begin and and with SELECT * FROM EMP;. Even the term 'database' has a very different conceptual meaning. You've already been pointed to the doc set at tahiti.oracle.com. Please go there, then
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Memoirs of a Pirate Cook
Sam allowed his mind to drift as he ambled down the familiar path from his family estate to their farmland where several families lived. He made this very same walk several times a week as of late, and it was becoming a pleasantly mindless activity which helped him to think about whatever he so pleased.
Sam knew immediately that something was very, very wrong. Brigid's family's sleepy farmhouse, usually quite dark at this hour, was alight, and the front door was ajar.
"Excuse me, I was just -"
"Yes, yes, just comin' on by to meet up in secret with my daughter, aye? Heard all about it."
Sam blinked, a cold uncomfortable feeling grabbing hold of something between his stomach and his heart. What should he do? What had Brigid said? Should he lie? Had she lied? No, it seemed like she had told the truth, but how much of it? He dared not open his mouth and perhaps unwittingly contradict what she may have already said. Instead, he stood a little straighter, reminding himself that it was he that actually owned this land, not this poor farming man. Promptly, however, he looked down, ashamed by such a thought.
"Perhaps we could all-" he stopped short. The door, several yards behind the angry irishman who stood before him, had swung open so that the candlelight within highlighted the graceful silhouette of Brigid.
Brigid was looking anywhere but at the young man before her. She wrapped a hand up in the fabric of her skirt and squeezed it until her skin turned white, then disentangled her hand only to quickly entangle it again, this time in her own hair by the nape of her neck. Sam searched her face for some small resonance of the emotions she was feeling, but she wouldn't meet his eyes, and her expression was otherwise impossible to read.
"My father's arranged for me to marry a close family friend from a few towns over... he's a nice man, and really not too old." She still wasn't looking at him. "He even has most of his teeth," she added, but her tone lacked any trace of amusement.
"No, you don't have to marry someone else. I - I'll -" he stopped short. I'll what? Marry her? Surely father would give me his blessings, he thought sarcastically. Sure, he was a bit of a romantic, and Brigid - her bright blue eyes, her soft skin, melodic voice... but he wasn't stupid. And he couldn't bring himself to say words that he knew he could never back up with an action. Anyway, he was 16, marriage wasn't something he'd ever thought of seriously. Not even to someone as insouciant and positive and soft and beautiful...
"I want to marry him, Sam." Finally, she raised her head to look him directly in the eyes, though her expression was still impassive. Surely she didn't mean what she was saying, but what was he to say?
"If you're sure it's what you want..." his voice trailed off. The knot in his chest was growing unbearable, though, and he clenched his jaw, unable to say anything else. He wanted to shout, to demand some sort of explanation of why she didn't care enough about him to try and stay, but his pride forced him to remain stoic. She wanted to marry. She wanted to marry someone else. How could he fight for someone who didn't want him? He had learned already from his father that it was a fool's errand to even try.
He cleared his throat as quietly as possible, and managed to carefully construct his tone of voice so that it was quite steady. "Well, you'll always have my blessings Brigid. I suppose this is good - this is good-bye..." He gazed at her intently, studying her. Memorizing her. The shape of her eyes, the gentle curve of her chin, her straight nose and the two small freckles illuminated against her creamy skin in the moonlight. Then, he looked away.
"I'll walk you to the door," he murmured, expressionless. It was a foreign feeling for him to look so unhappy, almost painful. His green eyes had become quite dull despite the shining full moon.
"Sam." Brigid was fumbling with the clasp on her necklace, unsuccessfully attempting to remove her St. Brigid's cross. Finally, frustrated, she pushed her eyes shut, and pulled the necklace down harshly, wincing with the sting of the metal on the back of her neck. The necklace was one of the most valuable things she possessed, and she hadn't taken it off since her mother had given it to her some years before. "Sam!" She repeated, more sternly. He looked up, and she promptly looked down again, suddenly shy. Slowly, and hesitating as though she expected his skin to burn her own, she reached out to his hand. Timidly, she unfurled his fingers and pushed the pendant into his palm.
Her skin did burn his hand. It burned his heart and his mind, because he knew this would be the last time he would feel her skin against his. She softly wrapped her hand around his to make sure he was holding her necklace, then withdrew to herself.
"Please don't forget me."
Sam didn't answer her. Mostly he didn't trust himself to say the right thing, whatever that may be. He didn't trust himself to not make a fool of himself. He studied his hands and the small necklace that was drowning in them. The metal scraped against the only jewelry he regularly wore: the Crawford family ring. It was silver with a few small precious gems, but he had always hated the gaudy thing. Without another thought, he wiggled it off of his finger, and mimicked Brigid's earlier motion, this time depositing the ring in her hand.
"I'll never forget. Let us go back before your father comes after me with a pitchfork," he commented dryly.

5 Celebs Who Have Hooked Up With Their Employees
They say you shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink, but that hasn't stopped some famous people from mixing business with pleasure. Here are nine who hooked up with their employees, courtesy of RadarOnline:
- Britney Spears. The pop superstar hired Jason Trawick as her manager, but ended up dating him as well. The two went as far as to get engaged in 2011, but broke up a year later.
- Jennifer Lopez. J-Lo is a repeat offender when it comes to falling in love with her employees. In 2001, she tied the knot with dancer Cris Judd, who she met on the set of her music video "Love Don't Cost a Thing." And in 2012, she started a relationship with dancer Casper Smart. They split earlier this year after rumors that he cheated on her with a transgender model.
- Jude Law. The British actor was caught in bed with the nanny after one of his kids walked in on them in the bedroom. Law, who was engaged to Sienna Miller at the time, responded by issuing a public apology, saying, "I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us."
- Christina Aguilera. The singer's first love was her backup dancer Jorge Santos, who appeared in several of her music videos and toured with her during their two-year relationship.
- Madonna. Like J-Lo, the Queen of Pop has a thing for her colleagues in the music business. She's hooked up with Brahim Zaidbat, who was 24 at the time of their romance. The 55-year-old singer is now dating 26-year-old choreographer Timor Steffens. Get it, girl!

The District understands the valuable role that our partners play in helping to address flooding, erosion, and water quality concerns through innovative stormwater management practices, and stream and wetland restoration. This work compliments the District's commitment to clean water and water-quality protection throughout the District's service area and tributary watersheds. Green Infrastructure Grant Program for the Combined Sewer Area
The District recognizes the importance of green infrastructure such as rain gardens, bioretention, pervious pavement, and other site-based stormwater management practices in the combined sewer area. The Green Infrastructure Grants Program for the Combined Sewer Area is open to communities and non-profit organizations in the combined sewer area interested in implementing green infrastructure projects that remove stormwater from the combined sewer system. Private, for-profit entities may also put forward projects in partnership with communities or non-profits. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to ensure the long-term ownership and maintenance of these practices. If you would like more information on these projects or the grants program, contact Linda M. Mayer at (440) 253-2147.

the uproar and the chaosMature
Chapter Seventy Three
Atlas, Pilot, Atlas, then Phaedos, by rhetoric
Word Count: 2,073
Her chambers were silent. Beyond the newly replaced door, she could hear Phaedos shift every few moments, the scrape of his shoes on the stone floor, the rustle of his jacket as he crossed his arms. She ran her fingertip delicately over the touchpad on her laptop. She'd been scouring the internet for days, it seemed, in search of any inkling, any trace, of what she had come to the surface for.
There had to be someone, she thought, even just one.
She heard Elseron's voice down the hall, the hard thudding of his steps. He was not casually making his way down the hall, there was something wrong. He was rushing.
She closed the laptop and set it on the dresser table beside the bed, rising from the comfortable mess of pillows and blankets. She pulled a clean white silken robe over her shoulders and knotted its belt loosely at her waist. Beyond the wall, she heard him.
"Phaedos, go with Dante. He will explain on the way."
There was a brief moment of tension in the hallway. She could feel it twisting in her gut. What was the problem? Then she heard footsteps, two sets, rushing off to the back door of the mansion. Where were they going?
She knew when Elseron's hand touched the doorknob. She could see it, as if with her own two eyes. The way his arm extended outward, the world around him slightly blurred; how his fingers stretched out and wrapped around the cold brass. She blinked, and he was in the doorway.
She opened her mouth to speak, to ask him what was going on, but his voice broke the stillness first. "Fenrir's found us; there are Lycans prowling the border. We've been betrayed."
Her heart lunged into her throat. Betrayed; it was such a dirty word.
Hundreds of questions sprung to life in her mind, bursting forth from her subconscious thoughts to the forefront of her attention. He shook his head, as if he could hear her.
"Of course I can hear you," he said, continuing on without giving her time to process his words, "Phaedos and Dante are on their way to control the situation. When I receive the word, we will leave and find a Gatekeeper. Pack your things."
He was at the window by then, his hand hovering over the hilt of his axe. His iceberg eyes, frosty with determined focus, scanned the yard behind the glass. She could see him working through the situation in his mind.
She began to pack.
Pilot smiled at her as she lingered over him, her arms straddling the recliner he was in, her lips a fraction of an inch over his. He moved suddenly, scooping her up gracefully in his arms and carrying her to the balcony; she laughed as he did so, and it echoed in the small, gritty room. The sound melded with his heartbeat and he couldn't tell them apart. He set her on the precipice of the balcony wall, her feet dangling out over the open air. She leaned back against his chest, moving his arms for him to wrap around her waist, his chin resting on the top of her head.
For a long while, they admired the view. They were on the edge of the city; before them and directly below were fellow skyscrapers and businesses, but beyond them it was open fields and thick woodlands. The sun crossed the gap, illuminating the windows and crevices of the city, burning up the golden wheat fields and adding haunting shadows to the forest.
"When?" They hadn't been discussing anything, but he knew what the question was in reference to.
"Soon," he said, staring out at the mid-day sun.
"I'm starting to feel impatient," she admitted, her tone soft – practically inaudible as the wind picked up and carried her words away.
"You know I would never stop you, even if it wasn't the right time." He squeezed her tightly for a minute, enjoying the warm smell of her hair.
"I know," she said.
A scream tore through the mansion; it crashed into Atlas' chest with a fury and a misery that she had never felt before. It was a child's scream.
She turned to her Guardian, her eyes wide and panicked, "Elseron!" It was a desperate plea, a cry for help that she hadn't intended. He understood.
"I will be back," he said, brushing a strong hand against her cheek as he bolted from her chambers and down the labyrinthine hallways.
She stood in the middle of her chambers, suddenly feeling claustrophobic and paranoid. The room felt smaller, though she knew it to be large and spacious. The silken bed sheets and enormous dresser mirror seemed to be crowding in on her, her reflection was pale and disheveled. Her robe hung off one shoulder, revealing the narrow line of a sleeping gown strap. She felt an overwhelming need to dress, and instead of questioning it, she gave in.
Instead of a dress, as was her usual, she opted for her yoga shorts and fitted t-shirt that she often used in her training exercises with Phaedos. She cinched the knot for her tennis shoes just as her door opened once again. Lifting her gaze, she expected to see Elseron.
Instead, Elve let herself into Atlas' chambers with a sly smirk and a malicious twinkle to her emerald eyes. "Afternoon, dearest Queen," she purred.
The room darkened, and Atlas realized the fire was going out. She wanted to rekindle it, suddenly less than comfortable with being in a somewhat dark room with Elve.
There were no vampires hiding in her shadows, ready to pounce; and this realization struck her with a profound unsettling. She wanted the beast to have her back. She wanted her god standing in her doorway, taught and silent and merciless. She wanted the comfort of his darkness nearby.
She thought of his sapphire eyes and suddenly, everything changed.
She rose from her seat and strode over to the fireplace casually, as if Elve's presence didn't set her nerves on edge. The hardest part was disguising the subtle quiver to her hands. "What is it, Elve? I'm busy."
She stirred the embers until they sparked to life. She added another couple logs and poked at them.
There was blood everywhere.
Their scouting mission had not gone as well as it could have, but Phaedos knew better than to ever expect anything to go that well. They'd left the mansion armed, that was all he had needed to know.
He never went anywhere armed unless he was expecting to have to use the weaponry at his disposal.
They had managed to track a group of the Lycans to the west wall of the mansion. There were a ridiculous number of them; the group they had found was over thirty in number, and Dante had smelled other groups in different directions.
They didn't have enough men to track them all. He had radioed in to tell the Atlantean Guards to quadruple forces in all wings, but he didn't know what else he could do. He hoped Elseron was paying attention.
Phaedos ducked an oncoming attack – the Lycan overshot and swung himself around with the momentum of his punch, and Phaedos kicked him in the knee. The crack was enough to tell him the Lycan would not be getting up any time soon, but it wasn't enough. As the beast went down, half-shifted into wolf form, he supposed so the healing would be faster, Phaedos brought his knee up and slammed it into the Lycan's jaw.
He watched teeth go flying and vanish into the roots and foliage of the forest floor.
He slid his hunting knife from its sheath on his back and brought it down in one strong motion, slicing clean through the Lycan's spinal column and severing its head from its body.
He kicked the body over, no longer having any interest in it. His eyes scanned the nearby area for the hulking bear form of his only ally in the woods. He didn't see Dante, but he could hear him. He followed the roaring deeper into the forest.
It wasn't long before he found the bear. Ripping through two already-shifted wolves, one on each side; his giant paws slicing them into chunks; it seemed they were the last of the more-than-thirty group. Phaedos smiled. It was nice to see a job well done.
Just as Dante's eerily yellow eyes met Phaedos', the strangest thing began to happen.
It started as a tingling in his spine, it slithered up his nervous system until it reached the base of his skull. It began to burn; a white-hot heat that felt as if it were searing his flesh, melting his bones. He shut his eyes, biting back a growl of pain. He felt his knees hit the floor of the forest.
Panic rushed through him, pure and unadulterated. He wondered if he would fall in the same inglorious, humiliating way Achilles had. One tiny weakness, exploited. But the pain had no source.
He could feel the breeze stirring his hair, prickling against his skin like needles.
It was then that he heard it, loud and triumphant and ethereal; a heartbeat that was not his own, stuttering with panic and desperation. He could taste her, then, in the air – sharp but delicate, like a perfume enjoyed on the tongue. He opened his eyes and lunged to his feet, shoving Dante's hand away.
"We have to go back," he said, over his shoulder, as he took off down the path to the mansion. It took him minutes to reach the mansion, he pushed himself harder than he ever had – slamming his steps into the dirt, propelling himself forward by sheer will and physics. His speed thwarted nature, thwarted gravity and time.
He didn't bother with the front door; choosing instead to go directly for the window of Atlas' chambers. He leaped through it cleanly, the glass cracking and shattering upon impact before raining down like invisible splinters all around him. He rolled until he found his footing.
He rose to his feet, not even brushing off the shards of glass that covered him. He met Elve's stunned emerald eyes with his own dangerous, unearthly sapphire ones.
"Phaedos," Atlas said, breathless, her heartbeat racing madly in her chest.
Elve's arm quivered as she held the pistol, her trigger finger twitching nervously. She couldn't decide whom to aim the weapon at. Phaedos did not have such a dilemma.
In the fluid motions of a man that knows the full use of a second, he un-holstered his twin .44s from their side holsters beneath his jacket and leveled them between the eyes of the two foolish Lycan's standing behind Elve. Pulling the trigger was not a question, it did not cause him to pause or think. He simply pulled, and the Lycans hit the ground.
He smiled at Elve, and it was dark and tainted – the kind of smile the devil himself might give before one signed his soul over.
"You are not mine to kill," he said, and lowered his aim to target her shoulder.
He pulled the trigger once more, and Elve screamed. He knew her kind; the true lady, he let her fall to the ground in a crumpled, untidy heap.
Women like her fainted before they even felt the pain.
He turned to face Atlas and for the first time he felt an ounce of regret. Blood splatters littered her face and clothes. Her chest rose and fell unevenly with her breath. She turned her honey eyes to him and the world stopped.
They moved simultaneously.
She watched as he holstered his guns, moving across the distance to meet her in the middle of the room. He didn't speak, didn't ask permission. He reached out for her, his fingertips digging into her hips until she was certain there would be bruises in the morning.
She let him, ignoring the minor pain to looking up to his face as he crushed his mouth to hers. For an instant, everything faded into white-noise. Her heartbeat slowed. She could taste blood on his lips. Her fingers found his hair and she drew him closer.
He pulled back, grabbing her hand and tugging her across the rest of the room to the shattered window.
"We have to go," he said, "right now."

BeschreibungThe central subject in Julie Carr's debut poem collection is marriage. Intimacy is examined, not only in terms of the erotic, the quotidian, and the contractual, but also in terms of the intertextual: the pact between reader and writer and the blending of texts that results. Motherhood also figures as a kind of marriage-a bond that includes affective, legal, and sensual elements.Using a variety of poetic structures--prose poems, stanzaic forms, concrete poems, fractured lyrics, direct dialogue, and discursive modes--Carr simultaneously embraces and breaks from the expected and the known, revealing the precarious balance between our desire for narrative, sequence, drama, and resolution, on the one hand, and rupture, fragment, and fracturing, on the other.
PortraitJulie Carr is a doctoral candidate in English at the University of California, Berkeley. She is the recipient of a Grolier Poetry Prize and an Eisner Award in Poetry. Carr's work has appeared in such journals as Boston Review, New England Review, Epoch, American Letters and Commentary, and TriQuarterly.
