Punishment Without Trial
A loud siren vibrated through out the perimeter of the Lido clan, people stopped in their tracks and stood there, looking at the direction where the sound was heard. It was a signal that a man was lost, having gone through some dangerous test that they had to accomplish in the training facility. It has been mandatory for the solders to complete perilous tasks to show that they were worthy and loyal to their clan and qualified for any upcoming war with the other clans.
Many miles away, Sandra could hear the faint noise of the siren. Sometimes she wondered why Kassia and Rayan ever wanted to live so far away from the other people. But she did not bother herself too much because she was glad that she did not have to face them every day. The downside was that she had to walk down there on foot to get groceries or had the urge to play an instrument in the music department at the center of the village. Despite all that, whenever she heard the sirens of a lost soldier, she could not help but wish it were not the man that took her in when she was injured from Desmond.
Sandra's heart was pounding like a jackhammer. She looked at the direction of the village. Rayan's figure emerged from the far distance, running towards the house. Sandra was in agony, so she ran to Ryan as fast as she could. She also noticed a mist of people following him from behind.
"Sandra!" Rayan cried out to her, moving his hands awkwardly in the air. "Run!"
"What?" Sandra stopped where she was.
Human voices surfaced from the large crowd at the back. Rayan could not make it in time, when the guards passed him and made way to run up to Sandra. They grabbed her forcefully and said, "Sandra, you are to follow us to the dungeons. If you try to resist, we will have to use force, which I would not have a problem using on your pretty little face," one of the guards said, spitting with antipathy.
The crowd started routing on "Punish her! Punish her!" as they passed through them.

The Wandering Mansion- StolenMature
Garrett walked in as Felix stood up and left me with a half hearted 'good night'. He went straight to the kitchen, grabbed something unimportant and went to leave. I blocked his way.
"What's wrong, Garrett?" I asked him, concerned.
"Would you just move?" He asked rudely. I blinked in irritation.
"Not if you talk to me like that. Tell me what's wrong." He exploded.
"Would you just leave me alone!?" He said furiously.
"What have I done?" I said, very quietly, trying desperately not to cry.
"Whatever." He spat. His hand went up in exasperation. My head and heart knew that he wasn't going to hit me, but my body thought otherwise and I subconsciously flinched. A look of horror flashed across his face. "You actually thought that I was going to hit you." He said, incredulous. I shook my head, in denial. He looked right into my eyes to make sure that I was listening, which was ridiculous as I hung on every word he said. "No matter how angry I am at you, I would never hurt you, Aila. Do you understand?" My eyes filled with tears that I would not let spill.
"But why are you angry at me?" I whispered, although he heard me. He shook his head angrily.
"I can't... I won't... you don't... you wouldn't understand." He managed to say bitterly.
"Try me." I said. I could see him battling with himself. He couldn't even look at me.
"It's just... what you said to Felix." He admitted, quietly. I stared at him. Hurt flew across his face, and I shook my head. It finally dawned on me, although I couldn't quite believe it. I laughed, and he looked up.
"You silly, confusing boy." I said, before reaching up on my tiptoes so I could hold his head. Before my brain could kick in and tell me that I was stupid or too hopeful, my heart made me kiss him. Instantly he responded to my touch. One hand went to my face as the other went to my waist to pull me closer to him. We were locked in this embrace, speaking through touch. My love for him grew within me, and I felt as if my chest was about to explode. When we finally pulled away for air, tears were streaming down my cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" He asked me. I smiled at him.
"Because I never thought that I would ever kiss you." I admitted. He also smiled.
"Well," he whispered, "it's about to happen again." and he pulled me to him and we locked lips again, my hand in his silky hair, his hands against my lower back and cupping my head. When we parted again, he looked at me with an expression I'd never seen on his face before. "Good night, Aila." Garrett said quietly, kissing my forehead so that it burned from the feeling of his lips against my skin. I smiled at him as he left.
I made my way to the sofa, and sat down before my legs could give way. I had kissed Garrett. Then he had kissed me. My mind whirred, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling of breathlessness in my chest, or the joy that I felt bursting through me. I sighed in happiness.
Just before I was about to make my way to my room, I felt a tightness over my mouth and the world went black. I panicked, realising that I had been gagged and there was a bag over my head. My hands were tied painfully and roughly, and I felt myself being carried. I kicked out, screaming as loud as I could (which wasn't very loud due to the gag). I felt something hard against my head before falling unconsious.

Wauwatosa West High School Student Receives Opportunity of a Lifetime through Milwaukee Film's Collaborative Cinema Project
Film production began recently on Milwaukee Film's 2009 winning Collaborative Cinema screenplay, "Ward Three," a screenplay written by Wauwatosa West High School student Natalie Mullins and chosen out of 50 entries to be produced into a short film that will debut at the 2009 Milwaukee Film Festival presented by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, taking place September 24 – October 4.
The film will be produced by the Milwaukee film community, utilizing the finest production equipment and crew available, and shooting will take place July 24-26 at the Milwaukee County Parks administration building, located at 9480 Watertown Plank Road. "Ward Three" will have its world premiere during the Milwaukee Film Festival at The Milwaukee Show, a Gala screening of locally made short films presented at the Oriental Theatre on October 1.
"I was really excited to be chosen as the winner of this project," said Mullins. "It's awesome to see your vision come to life through film, and I'm just amazed at how much work everyone puts into the making of a single scene."
Milwaukee Film's Collaborative Cinema provides Wisconsin high school students the incredible opportunity to learn about the entire filmmaking process directly from film professionals through a unique series of workshops, a screenwriting contest, the production of the short film and its premiere at an international film festival. The Collaborative Cinema program, led by Project Director Mark Metcalf, local celebrity and actor ("Seinfeld," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), strives to develop the filmmakers of the future in Wisconsin.
"This program does a phenomenal job of bringing together gifted mentors who are willing to share their talents with young people who are eager to learn about the filmmaking process," said Metcalf. "Together we are building a film community here that works as a collective that supports each other."
The production crew on "Ward Three" includes many respected and recognized film professionals, including Nick Langholff ("Feed the Fish," producer), director Jason Satterfield ("The Legend Trip," director), and director of photography, Jimmy Sammarco ("Song Sung Blue," cinematographer.)
The film shoot budget is nearly $100,000, and the production is made possible through local support and donations from Lee Ernst, Paul Bodi of Bodi Company, North American Camera, Electric Sun, Independent Edit, the Milwaukee County Parks Association, dedicated high school students, and commercial, feature, and documentary professionals.
In addition, the Herzfeld Foundation provided the Collaborative Cinema program a $10,000 grant.
About Collaborative Cinema:
The Collaborative Cinema program begins in the fall each year with a call for entries from local high school students to enter the Milwaukee Film Screenwriting Contest. The top 50 ideas are selected by the professional filmmakers who act as mentors for the program.
Those 50 students are invited to attend an all-day workshop on a Saturday in January at Discovery World. The workshop is an intensive introductory course in screenwriting wherein the students are taught the ins and outs of screenwriting by professionals who give them the tools to turn their idea into a screenplay for a short film.
The students submit a first draft of their screenplay and from there, 15 scripts are selected for a second workshop at Discovery World involving two-on-one mentoring and the students having the chance to delve further into their script and screenplay idea.
Following the second screenplay workshop is a film production workshop at Discovery World that invites any interested student to come and learn about filmmaking through hands-on demonstrations about film production and film equipment.
The winner is chosen by a panel of 10 professional filmmakers who have acted as mentors throughout the program.

Chris Coady Talks Beach House, Destination Recording and Music Of The Digital Natives
LOWER EAST SIDE: We meet up with producer/engineer Chris Coady as he's heading into the studio for the day. He's mixing Abe Vigoda and it's crunch time so we promise not to keep him too long…
Starting at Quad in the early aughts, Coady's come up through tumultuous times in the music industry and kept incredibly busy the entire time. Teaming up with David Sitek to build Stay Gold Studios, where he engineered TV on the Radio and Yeah Yeah Yeahs records, along with !!!, Cass McCombs, Blonde Redhead, Architecture in Helsinki, Coady's been the trusted engineer to some of the most admired and sonically experimental artists in the Brooklyn indie-rock scene.
Since Stay Gold closed, he's only built on that reputation, flourishing with adventurous electro-pop and rock artists like Lemonade, Telepathe, Islands, …Trail of Dead, ArpLine and Delorean.
Coady recently co-produced and engineered Beach House's at-once intimate and majestic Teen Dream proving once again an indispensable production partner to the visionary artist.
Inside DNA Downtown — the bunker-like studio he shares with a producer-colleague — Coady points to racks of outboard gear once in the chain at Stay Gold and to the SSL G Series console formerly of Quad. The room is filled with equipment, the urgency of a deadline fast approaching and the promise of this young sonic mastermind. We get right to it…
So this is your studio. Tell me a bit about it. You share it with another engineer?
[Prior to opening DNA,] I had been working a lot at The Carriage House in Connecticut, which is really nice — they also have an SSL E/G series console. I'd been talking to a friend of mine about opening a Pro Tools room. He thought we should be more ambitious, combine our resources and open a [more serious] room. A lot of the outboard gear is mine, and was originally at Stay Gold. The console is his and we share the Pro Tools system and the speakers.
And you can do projects start-to-finish here?
Sure. And I have recorded projects here top-to-bottom, which — even though the space is small — have come out sounding great. I generally don't use a lot of room reverb. For the most part, the sounds I record are usually pretty tight, so having a small studio is fine for me. I close-mic my sounds and then I create most of the ambiances artificially. So, a lot of times the drum sounds I get will be the same whether I record them here or in a nice big studio.
But with the Beach House record, now that's a big sounding record…
Yes, and that record, by contrast, is filled with lots of room reverb. When we first got to the studio [Dreamland Recording, near Woodstock], I put up these two Earthworks mics, way on the other side of the church from where the band was set up to play. I'd set out to design the ultimate setup of all their organs and keyboards in the studio — they'd brought their own piano in addition to all these thrift-store 70s organs. I wanted to create this awesome environment for them to play in that would be visually stunning and inspiring.
Within a few days, everything got moved around and it became a free-for-all but the one thing that stayed were these two Earthworks mics setup far away from everything, on stands really high up in the air — left and right, pointing down at them. And these Earthworks mics and the studio's API mixing board had a really cool marriage.
So you ended up using those room mics throughout the record?
Yeah, they were used quite a bit, especially on guitars. The record opens up with that sound — Alex's guitar and Roland Jazz Chorus Amp pointed in the direction of those mics.
Also, we didn't realize this until later on, but it turns out that outside of the church, right above where those room mics were set up, there was a bird's nest. So when we went to mix, we found all these baby birds all over the album. And it was impossible to get rid of all the chirping! You can't exactly hear it all over the record, but it's definitely there!
Sweet! Was that a problem at all? Or just kind of amazing?
We were psyched! But it was totally consistent through the whole thing. I think at one point we tried to bring it into focus but it wasn't quite loud enough…
Did you mix the record there? Or here?
Two of the songs were mixed here. We went through the mixing very fast at Dreamland, which made me nervous because I wasn't used to the monitoring environment. The band wanted me to do it intuitively. And that did work, for the most part. But we did end up remixing two of the songs here, and I'm glad we did because those two songs have a slightly different feeling. The mix for "Norway," for example, sounds more deliberate, less spontaneous.
Do you end up doing most of your work here at DNA?
I prefer to work here, but I end up traveling a lot. The bands I'm working with seem to not want to record in New York City so much. They want to go out to the country because it adds to the story — they find it inspiring and like the idea of living there during the recording. They don't want to be getting texts about some party going on down the street.

Samuel L. Jackson
One of the busiest actors in Hollywood, the "bad ass" Samuel L. Jackson's prolific list of credits reflected a career born both in the theatre, and then shaped by the cinema as one of America's leading African-American actors. Respected on both stage and screen, Jackson's output seemed to increase almost exponentially as he grew older. Averaging about five features a year since 1992, Jackson began his screen career modestly in commercials, working at the pitchman for a regional fast-food chain called Krystal Hamburgers. Graduating to legitimate theater, Jackson made his bones appearing on stage for nearly a decade as a member of the acclaimed Negro Ensemble Company. Over the years, Jackson's talents afforded him the opportunity to spread his wings and segue into bit parts in films and TV guest shots – most importantly with stand-out roles in such films as "Do the Right Thing" (1989), "Jurassic Park" (1993) and "Pulp Fiction" (1994). Jackson's strikingly feline eyes and pitch perfect ear for street dialogue conveyed a scarily effective menace, but his expressive face adjusted impressively to a wide range of material, both dramatic and comedic.
Born in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 21, 1948, Samuel Leroy Jackson grew up in segregated Chattanooga, TN. The only child of a former factory worker-turned-state institutional supply buyer Elizabeth Jackson, young Sam grew up estranged from his father. Raised collectively by his mother, her sister and his maternal grandparents, Jackson flourished under the love of his extended family. Musically talented, Jackson played a number of instruments growing up, including the French horn and trumpet for in the school orchestra. In the mid-1960s, Jackson attended the historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, where he became active in theatre. A co-founder of the sardonically named all-black acting company called "Just Us Theater," Jackson would later go on to become a reliable utility player for the famed Negro Ensemble Theatre, alongside such African-American talents as Robert Hooks, Adolph Caesar and Al Freeman, Jr.
In the late 1980s, Jackson's impressive turn in playwright Charles Fuller's Pulitzer Prize- winning masterpiece "A Soldier's Play" so impressed Spike Lee, that the film auteur eventually cast Jackson in a bit part as a local yokel in "School Daze" (1988). The collaboration proved so successful, that Lee enlisted Jackson into service once again for his next project – the explosive urban drama "Do the Right Thing" (1989), in which he played the omniscient street deejay, Mister Senor Love Daddy. Jackson enjoyed his greatest career boost, however, with his brilliant, harrowing portrait of Gator Purify in Lee's controversial interracial romance drama, "Jungle Fever" (1989). Playing an alternately charming, yet viciously dangerous crack addict, Jackson drew upon his first-hand knowledge of the drug culture to create a character that simply lived and breathed verisimilitude. The role won Jackson a special jury prize as Best Supporting Actor at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival and led to a supporting role in the big-budget techno-thriller "Patriot Games" (1992).
Jackson nearly got a chance to work with his wife, actress LaTanya Richardson, for the first time on-screen in Lee's epic biopic, "Malcolm X" (1992), but reportedly balked at the director's request that he work for scale. Instead, Jackson rode his triumph as Gator to a torrent of small roles in a rapid succession of titles including Ernest Dickerson's "Juice" (1992), the Willem Dafoe-Susan Sarandon thriller "White Sands" (1992) and Brad Pitt's off-beat "Johnny Suede" (1991). The following year, Jackson graduated to leads in two 1993 comedies – the blank-filled "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I" and the well intentioned, but ultimately disappointing comedy, "Amos and Andrew," co-starring Nicolas Cage. Jackson would finish out the year with supporting roles in three wildly different projects: the Hughes Brothers' "Menace II Society," the Steven Spielberg CGI extravaganza "Jurassic Park," and Tony Scott's iconic "True Romance," scripted by rising star Quentin Tarantino. The following year, Tarentino cast Jackson in his ultimate breakthrough role as the philosophical, Jheri-curled assassin, Jules Winfield, in the critically acclaimed "Pulp Fiction" (1994). Outstanding even amid a stellar ensemble including Bruce Willis, John Travolta and Uma Thurman, Jackson got to utter several immortal monologues that since became a part of pop culture history. For his efforts, Jackson received a richly deserved Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor.
Hedging his bets, the workaholic actor appeared in at least three other films in 1994 including "The New Age" and "Fresh" and also appeared in the high-minded made-for-cable movies "Assault at West Point" (Showtime, 1994) and "Against the Wall" (HBO, 1994). Jackson's choice of roles post-"Pulp Fiction" yielded mixed critical and box office results. His turn as a child-custody lawyer arguing for a poor mother's rights in the modest "Losing Isaiah" (1995) allowed him the chance to finally work with his wife, Richardson, but the result was largely unmemorable. Jackson later played a cop running an undercover operation in the David Caruso-starred flop "Kiss of Death" (1995), but he fared only somewhat better in his next project, playing Bruce Willis' unwilling cohort in the third "Die Hard" installment, "Die Hard With a Vengeance" (1995).
A deft comic performer, Jackson played a Don King-like boxing promoter in "The Great White Hype" (1996), but the effort was again largely wasted in the mediocre vehicle. On the other hand, Jackson fared well riding the roller coaster of Renny Harlin's "The Long Kiss Goodnight," as well as starring as a low-rent private eye and earning substantial critical kudos for his heart-wrenching turn as a father out for revenge following the rape of his little girl in director Joel Schumacher's adaptation of "A Time to Kill" (1996), based on the best-seller by novelist John Grisham.
The Jackson juggernaut pressed on at full throttle with starring roles in three 1997 movies. As Trevor Garfield, the dedicated teacher driven over the edge into violence in "187" – cop speak for a homicide – he found himself in a vehicle that for all its good intentions, was little more than "Death Wish" visits the public schools. Jackson got to show off more of his deep talents with "Eve's Bayou," an intensely emotional, well-made family drama by first-time writer-director Kasi Lemmons. Revealing a suave romantic side to his versatile talent, Jackson also served as executive producer and paterfamilias for the predominantly female cast surrounding him. Finally, Jackson returned to Tarantino country as arms merchant Ordell Robbie in "Jackie Brown," adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel, "Rum Punch," moving deftly between comedy and malice; by now, a trademark Jackson style. As a seductively personable villain with positively no moral center – unlike his "Pulp Fiction" character, Jules – Jackson ended up killing Robert De Niro in the film's denouement – a sure sign that he had arrived as an actor.
In 1998, Jackson shared the spotlight with Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone, playing a brainy mathematician in Barry Levinson's lackluster sci-fi thriller "Sphere." He next appeared as a violin expert in "The Red Violin," an absorbing tale involving the centuries-long travels of a violin made by a 17th century violin maker; a part that gave Jackson "a great opportunity to play a role you don't normally see an African-American portraying. He then starred opposite Kevin Spacey in the much bigger-budgeted "The Negotiator," playing a hostage negotiator who takes his own hostages when he is falsely accused of murder and embezzlement. The following year saw him as Jedi Knight Mace Windu in George Lucas' long awaited "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace," – due in no small part for his campaigning for the part based on his well-known "Star Wars" franchise obsession – as well as rejoining Harlan for "Deep Blue Sea." On a roll, Jackson, showing no inclination for slowing up his workload, also signed to play a Marine Colonel embroiled in controversy in "Rules of Engagement" (2000) and followed Richard Roundtree as the cool private eye in "Shaft" (also 2000), John Singleton's riff on the 1971 blaxploitation classic. For him, work (plus golf) remained the addiction that had replaced the narcotic substances kicked at the beginning of the decade.
In 2002, Jackson was at a high-water mark, willing to tackle a variety of challenging roles, both large and small. As a leading man, he co-starred with Ben Affleck in the effective sociological thriller "Changing Lanes," in which he turned in a nuanced, commanding performance as recovering alcoholic Doyle Gipson, fighting to stay in his children's lives even as his own life is almost undone due to the aftereffects of a simple fender-bender. He then delivered an action-packed supporting turn, reprising his role as Jedi Master Mace Windu for George Lucas' blockbuster "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" (2002); this time, more in the thick of the plot with a mean purple light saber – with the actor/fan choosing the color so he would stand out in the crowded action scenes. He then helped launch a hit action franchise, appearing as the mysteriously scarred NSA Agent Augustus Gibbon in "xXx" (2002) – perhaps the only actor who could out-intimidate about-to-be A-list action star, Vin Diesel.
In the lackluster military potboiler "Basic" (2003), Jackson employed his hard-as-nails persona to play a feared, often hated Special Forces sergeant, who mysteriously disappears along with the team of Army Rangers he commands during a training exercise during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Spinning that persona to a more heroic bent, the actor then tackled the role of Lt. Dan 'Hondo' Harrelson for the big-budget, straight-faced screen adaptation of the 1970s cop drama, "S.W.A.T." (2003), starring opposite Colin Farrell. The film was an action extravaganza in which the special tactics team led by Jackson's character must transport an incarcerated drug kingpin who is offered $100 million to anyone who can free him. Jackson's career choices continued to run the gamut in terms of quality: he played second fiddle to Ashley Judd in one of the actress' characteristic, unchallenging thrillers, "Twisted" (2004), but rebounded strongly as the voice of the frustrated, ice-powered superhero Frozone in Disney/Pixar's delightful CGI-animated superhero spoof, "The Incredibles" (2004). He also cameoed in Tarantino's "Kill Bill, Vol. 2" (2004) as an organist at the wedding of The Bride.
Jackson kicked of 2005 with "Coach Carter," playing a familiar on-screen archetype – the inspirational coach who helps his students achieve – playing the controversial high school basketball coach Ken Carter who benched his undefeated team due to their collective poor academic record in 1999. Despite its seemingly clichéd set-up, the film resonated, thanks in large part to Jackson's strong, anchoring performance. Jackson played an angry Washington Post reporter in the John Boorman drama, "In My Country" (2005). Sent to cover South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission – a public hearing conducted to reconcile the atrocities of apartheid – Jackson butts heads with a white South African poet (Juliette Binoche) over his bitterness and racial agenda, but instead ends up falling in love despite being married to another. He then went on to reprise two of his popular roles – first, Agent Gibbons for the action sequel "xXx: State of the Union" (2005), this time putting Ice Cube in the secret agent hot seat; followed with a final unsheathing that purple light saber for an appearance as Jedi Master Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy-ender, "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" (2005). Jackson had long insisted that George Lucas write him an impressive death scene, and both Lucas and Jackson delivered the goods in Windu's long-anticipated demise, which proved to be one of the most dramatic scenes in the poorly received film.
Jackson's next vehicle was the hackneyed, derivative action/buddy flick, "The Man" (2005), which attempted to drive laughs by pairing Jackson's hard-edged cop with an awkward dentist (Eugene Levy) drawn into a crime scheme. He next starred opposite Julianne Moore in Joe Roth's "Freedomland" (2006), a crime drama that depicted a police detective (Jackson) called upon by a distraught woman (Moore) to investigate her claims that a black man kidnapped her child; an accusation that stirs racial animosity in a New Jersey suburb.
Jackson's next movie, "Snakes on a Plane" (2006), became a phenomenon long before it was released – much of it due to fanboy buildup on the Internet. After reading in the trades that friend Ronny Yu was attached to direct, Jackson emailed him, asking to be in it, based on the title alone. Despite the anticipatory fervor for the film, by the time it was released, it proved disappointing at the box office. Yu eventually left the project, making way for David Richard Ellis to take over. Meanwhile, New Line Cinema had changed the name to "Pacific Flight 121" out of fear other actors would not take the project seriously. Furious, Jackson campaigned in public and in private to return the movie to its original title. The studio relented, paving way for serious Internet buzz to gather steam and propelling "Snakes" into the public consciousness before it was done shooting. So influential were the Internet's denizens that they managed to get filmmakers to reshoot a scene to include a profanity-laden line generated by fans – the now iconic – "I've had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking plane!" Jackson, meanwhile, maintained a high level of enthusiasm for the film as he made the usual promotional rounds, even though he had not seen the movie – and neither did critics.
Jackson continued to work on film after film, as had been his wont over the years. Also in 2006, he starred in "Home of the Brave," a drama about three soldiers trying to readjust to civilian life after a lengthy tour in the second Iraq war; "Farce of the Penguins," a mockumentary inspired by the award-winning documentary, "March of the Penguins" (2005); and "Resurrecting the Champ," about a homeless man who claims to be a former boxing great, but in reality, is only a lesser-known fighter from the same era. Jackson also filmed "Black Snake Moan" in 2006, a low-budget drama about a blues guitarist abandoned by his wife who tries to redeem the soul of a girl addicted to sex in a rural town. Jackson next worked on "Jumper" (2008), a light-hearted adventure about a teenaged boy from a tough family who learns he has the ability to teleport, as well as appeared in "1408" (2007), a psychological thriller about a horror writer who gets a taste of his own fiction while staying overnight in a haunted hotel. Based on a short story by premier horror-meister Stephen King, "1408" received mixed reviews but performed impressively at the box office in its opening weekend. After a turn as an authoritative police officer gone over the edge in "Lakeview Terrace" (2008), Jackson starred alongside Bernie Mac in "Soul Men" (2008), a buddy road comedy about two surviving members of a 1970s soul band who get into one misadventure after another while traveling across the country to attend the funeral of a former band mate.

When I woke up, the sun had left and there was a chill in the breeze. Something moved, something from behind a bush. "Who's there?" I asked, my voice scarce above a whisper. The Something moved, again, and I dared to creep closer.
"I thought you would ask 'what' first." the Something replied. I heard a faint accent, one that I couldn't place.
My momentary shock passed. "In my world, that's a perfectly normal response, because if it doesn't answer, than it is not 'who', but a 'what' and it won't understand you in the first place. It won't answer, and you will be not at all worse off."
"Ah, but you are not on your world anymore."
"Well, who and what are you?" I asked, frowning. "You have evaded the question."
"I," the Something began, "do not have a name. But as to what I am, I won't reveal, yet. But I know who and what you are. You are Clover Grace Thompson, and you are both a writer and a scientist, as well as a sort of mathematician. You also like nature, animals, and woodwork. I could talk more, but I doubt I need to tell you about yourself."
"No, you don't. Please, will you show yourself? And how do you know so much about me?" I kneeled down, and put my hand towards the bush. "And you must have some sort of name!" Something moved, and finally it came out, turning out to be no more than an insect. "Why! You are a Goliath Beetle!" I exclaimed.
"I am more than a bug. I am your guide. And I have been reading your book while you were asleep. I was just waiting for you to wake up." The giant insect crawled towards me, and I took it on my hand.
"Oh!" I said. "Please, are you a he or a she? Then we can give you a name."
"I am a he. And as for a name, I think one will come when it will. Until that time, you can call me something, anything. I don't think I need to tell you, however, not to be derogatory."
"Then for now... you are Something." I smiled. "You said... you are my guide. Where are you going to lead me? I need to find this... queen."
"Queen Alli! Yes, yes, that is my job. Come, let us go." I put Something on my shoulder, and grabbing my jacket and stuffing my book, pencils, pens, erasers, and such into their places behind my ear, in pockets, and stuffed down my sock.
It was getting darker, but Something insisted that we travelled. "We will be at a place where you can get food and shelter before morning, I hope. Anyway, you have just slept most of the day away."
"Alright." I sighed. "Which way?"

Recognition, Reification, and Practices of Forgetting: Ethical Implications of Human Resource Management

This article examines the ethical framing of employment in contemporary human resource management (HRM). Using Axel Honneth's theory of recognition and classical critical notions of reification, I contrast recognition and reifying stances on labor. The recognition approach embeds work in its emotive and social particularity, positively affirming the basic dignity of social actors. Reifying views, by contrast, exhibit a forgetfulness of recognition, removing action from its existential and social moorings, and imagining workers as bundles of discrete resources or capacities. After discussing why reification is a problem, I stress that recognition and reification embody different ethical standpoints with regards to organizational practices. Thus, I argue paradoxically that many current HRM best practices can be maintained while cultivating an attitude of recognition. If reification is a type of forgetting, cultivating a recognition attitude involves processes of "remembering" to foster work relations that reinforce employee dignity.

Hoggart, 58, a married man with two children, was forced to issue a statement admitting an affair, after first describing the allegations as "bull***t". As a Guardian parliamentary sketch writer and BBC radio quizmaster, he has based his career on poking fun at politicians and their peccadilloes. It seems his hasty denial was followed by consultations with colleagues who advised him that honesty was the best policy.
He stressed there was "no possibility" he could be the father of either her son William, or the child she is expecting in several weeks. Stephen Quinn is unlikely to draw much comfort from that.
His position was already delicate; now it is surreal. He has amazed even their friends by defending his wife unstintingly, despite the fact that while he believed they were trying to have a child together using fertility treatment, she was, at the very same time, having a passionate affair with Mr Blunkett, who apparently made her pregnant at least once.
Now Mr Quinn must contend with the fact that yet another man was sleeping with his wife while all this was going on.
It is, his friends say, more than he can bear.
Last week, when Mr Blunkett tendered his lachrymose resignation, Mr Quinn's friends warned him that the hour of greatest danger was at hand. They have stood loyally by him and, for his sake, have extended their support to his wife.
The Quinn camp has fought hard in recent weeks to match the PR operation mounted by Mr Blunkett's supporters. Leaks about how Mrs Quinn believed Mr Blunkett was going to fix her child's nanny's visa wounded him well before the discovery of the evidence that led to his resignation.
It had been a hard battle, fought mostly by the Quinns' magazine and PR friends. Despite the torrid revelations about Mrs Quinn, they were prepared to go to the wire for her. Not now.
THE revelation about Hoggart - and a persistent undercurrent of gossip suggesting that his name will not be the last to attach to this scandal - have created a new mood. One newspaper, quoting suggestions that yet another lover would soon be revealed, today carried the headline: Who is the third man?
"She can't survive here any more," one of Mr Quinn's friends said. "Her credibility is shot to pieces."
According to a source close to the Quinns, Mr Quinn will continue to remain with his wife, at least until she has recovered from the birth of her second child.
"She is on maternity leave until the summer," the source said. "Then everyone expects her to move back to the United States with the children. She knows life here would be intolerable, not just in the short term but for as long as people remember what has happened."
Mr Blunkett's legal action to gain access to William, whom he believes is his son, and the probability of tests to
assess whether the unborn child is his, may complicate any plan Mrs Quinn has to move to America with the children.
Publicly at least, those who have been most vocal in defending her are unlikely to change their stance overnight. Nicholas Coleridge, who is Mr Quinn's long-standing friend and boss at Condé ast, said at the weekend: "The only downside of all this is that now Old Beardy is out of a job, he's going to be working full-time on the legal case."
This is Mrs Quinn's worst nightmare. The notion of fighting a resourceful and vengeful Mr Blunkett through the courts is chilling enough, without it becoming his overriding preoccupation.
He was obsessed with her, and she became his nemesis. But what was her obsession?
When Kimberly Fortier first appeared in London about 15 years ago, she did what a lot of bright young women do and got a job on a men's magazine. It brought her into contact with publishing high flier Stephen Quinn, who was married at the time.
Colleagues from the period remember her as outrageously flirtatious. One maintains she started an affair with Mr Quinn within two weeks of meeting him.
Michael Fortier, her first husband, told me he thought it took a little longer than that, but he credits her with carrying it on under his nose while he counted Mr Quinn and his wife Jane among their dearest friends.
Jane Quinn was similarly deceived.
When Kimberly Fortier - who kept her first husband's-name even after divorcing him until she finally adopted her second husband's name a few weeks after the Blunkett scandal broke - was appointed to a role at Condé Nast which Mr Quinn helped create, there were suspicions within the organisation that she was attempting to sleep her way to the top.
Her ambition seemed like a contagion and "Bimberly", as she was known then, was networking assiduously. It is a measure of how much the latest revelations of her duplicity have sabotaged her support that negative stories from this period are beginning to circulate again in magazine publishing circles.
Bad news about her has been hushed up recently, for Mr Quinn's sake. But this anecdote was being retold last night: in the mid-Nineties, and without Mr Quinn's knowledge, she told Terry Mansfield, then managing director of National Magazines, Condé Nast's rival, that Jamie Bill, publisher of Harper's and Queen, was doing a poor job and that she could do much better.
She urged Mansfield to appoint her. He declined. It would be a grubby tale as it stands, but Jamie Bill was one of Mr Quinn's oldest and closest friends.
She was appointed publisher of the Spectator in 1996, telling Campaign magazine: "There is nothing I can't do if I work hard at it." The journalist who interviewed her slipped some rather hard-hitting descriptions into the piece, including this: "She knows how to flick her hair and pose seductively - is there a ruthless bitch prowling beneath Fortier's charm?"
THAT charm came into its own when she sold space in the magazines for which she worked. Weaving her feminine magic on advertisers became her stock in trade, although it is hard to see how even that would work now. Her techniques were similar to the ones she employed during her encounters with powerful men.
Witness her Spectator colleague Petronella Wyatt's description of that first fateful dinner with David Blunkett: "Then Mrs Quinn/Fortier arrived, arrayed in a diaphanous tunic with trousers. We ordered our food. Mr Blunkett and I ate Dover sole. Ms Fortier ate David Blunkett. She began to engage him in some extraordinarily flirtatious banter (a characteristic of hers which is part of her undoubted charm). She said she had always wondered what it was like to sleep with a blind man."
Mr Blunkett, as we now know, was to provide the answer soon enough. It is possible that Mrs Quinn's yearnings are driven by simple curiosity, rather than lust, as one Sunday newspaper maintained.
For all we know, she may have wondered what it was like to sleep with a radio quizmaster, like Hoggart. Or a celebrated broadcaster, like the one upon whom she was lavishing her charm earlier this year. Or a property tycoon, who has told friends he had difficulty escaping her attentions.
Whatever her motives, she has sabotaged the career and social status she strived so hard to create. She was once known as the most ambitious woman in London; now she will be remembered as the woman who, in destroying Mr Blunkett, destroyed herself.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is yes their are laws against the way Hannah operates. They routinely fabricate evidence.
The bad news is this is Georgia and we do not have a government here that will enforce the law against criminals (unless of course it's a little guy with no money)
Just get a good lawyer and fight them in court.

A person who has been using marijuana for a long time will experience the following bad effects: stains on their hands, teeth, and gums. They will also have a weaker respiratory system as a result of the compounds in marijuana that attack the healthy tissues, organs, and cells. They will have a problem with their lungs, and are very likely to develop lung cancer and other lung problems especially if they smoke pot very often.
A chain smoker's skin looks very much like a pot user's. They both look like they are covered with leather. Their skins look very unhealthy. They also develop really huge eye bags. But if one day, they decide to start their lives anew and quit smoking cigarettes and pot, all these horrible physical features will go away.
Using marijuana will also affect the body's hormonal activities. Upon entering our bloodstream, marijuana will cause some drastic changes that may cause our bodies to act differently. In males, a decrease in the number of sperm produced and the quality of sperm produced will very much likely to happen if he smokes pot too often.
Youngsters who get into the business of smoking pot at their very early age will have trouble at school and their homes. Marijuana will affect their brain functioning. They will have poor memory, comprehension, and cognitive skills. They will want to be isolated from their peers. They will surely experience a dip in their academics.
Grown-ups who work will experience some obstacles in their workplaces. They will have a hard time focusing on their tasks. They will become moody and get into tension with their co-workers. They will have short tempers and will not have any tolerance for the simple things that they used to like anymore.
According to studies, all these things: poor performance in work and school, disinterest in various activities, and feelings of loneliness and isolation may develop into something severe such as paranoia, schizophrenia, and other serious mental disorders.
Let us now take a brief look at what the other side of marijuana is all about. There is such a thing as medical marijuana now, and it is used in the treatment of several types of diseases. It has been proven effective in eliminating symptoms that hinder proper functioning of a human being. It is indeed very useful in the medical field, but not everybody can avail of it. Only a licensed doctor and a certified patient can have access to medical marijuana and they will have to consume it in moderate amounts. Abuse of marijuana is no longer apt for any type of medical treatment.
The effects of using marijuana vary depending on how and how much people use it. It has both good and bad effects, and it is up to us how we want to use it. We have to be aware of its consequences and benefits so that we can make sound decisions about it.

It's been a hard couple of years for companies selling equity-based investments. As the bear market lingered, so investors' appetites for stock market-based products continued to fall. Even now, most are steering clear of shares until there are signs of a market recovery.
So to receive positive feedback from customers for a fund's performance in such difficult times is praise indeed. Top of the category for stocks and shares Isas is Alliance Trust Savings, based in Dundee and run by chief executive Gavin Suggett. He believes good customer service and transparent charges have enabled Alliance Trust, launched in 1987, to win and keep clients.
'Our charges are based on transactions, not management fees, so if you don't make any purchases during the year, your Isa would cost just £3 a year,' he says. 'We also offer a great deal of flexibility, so that people can hold their money in cash, bond funds or equities. They can also subscribe to an Isa with a lump sum or regular savings account.'
Unlike some other fund management companies, the Alliance Trust staff who deal with customers are not paid commission, nor are they expected to operate as salespeople. 'We pay a fixed salary and our telephone team of 20 is split into blocks of four people,' says Suggett. 'We allocate surnames by alphabet, so that whenever a customer rings in they will always speak to one of the same five people on the team. It makes it a very different experience from other call centres, where you never get to speak to the same person twice. It also means that when we train staff up they tend to stay with us.'
Runner-up in the Stocks and Shares Isa category is Nationwide. Jeremy del Strother, the building society's division director, says his team have worked hard to offer customers trustworthiness, accessibility and competitive prices.
'Our two Cat-standard Isas, the High Income Fund, which invests in bonds in the UK, and our UK tracker of the FTSE All-Share index have been the most popular of our equity products," says del Strother. 'Although people are still cautious about buying into the stock market, many take the view that they need equity-based savings if they are investing for the long term.'
More than 90 per cent of sales have been for Nationwide's Cat-standard Isas, products which guarantee low charges, easy access and fair terms.
Bouncing back to shares
Protected products and safe havens such as cash and gilts were popular places for rainy-day money. Uncertainty about the future direction of the market meant that investors used their Isa allowances to hold bonds and fixed-interest stocks until they felt confident to return to the mainstream.
With the UK housing market powering away, many investors chose to switch their holdings from equities to property. The boom in buy-to-let property led many who might have opened an Isa this year to buy a flat or student house instead.
Concerns over the war in Iraq left the US and UK stock markets treading water for months at the start of the year. But with the hostilities over relatively quickly, the market now appears to be enjoying a boom, with the FTSE 100 index back over the important 4,000 mark and professional investors deciding to increase their weightings in shares again.

Northampton have lost at home to only one side in the past 21 months and will take control of their Heineken Cup pool if they defeat Cardiff Blues at Franklin's Gardens tomorrow evening. The Welsh region say they will not be inhibited by the fear of failure and will attack the Saints.
Only Saracens have won at Saints since Newcastle triumphed there in February last year, doing so twice in a month at the latter end of last season. They adopted a wide approach and the Blues will also go on the attack tomorrow.
"We have to look at it as a do-or-die battle against the strongest team in Europe, on form," Paul Tito, the Blues captain, said. "We have to front up, and to get a result we will not only have to win ball but use it well. Northampton have shown that they are a side that keep going for the whole 80 minutes and we will have to match that."
The Blues lifted the Amlin Challenge Cup last season after prevailing at Newcastle and Wasps, while they also won at Harlequins in their Heineken Cup group. They have a strong record against English teams in cross-border tournaments in recent seasons.
"We can take confidence from how we have performed in England, but we are up against a very good side," Tito said. "We know that we have the ability to win anywhere and we had a good workout in Munster last weekend, our first game since getting back our international players."
David Young, the Blues head coach, believes his side need a minimum of five points from the two games against Northampton to maintain their ambition of finishing at the top of the group. The Saints won their first two games while the Blues beat Edinburgh before losing in Castres.
"We may need six points," Young said. "Northampton are not top of the Premiership for nothing and they do not lose at home very often. We are not going there looking to keep it tight and nick a win in a close game. That will get us nowhere. We have to take them on and attack, as Saracens did last season."
Richie Rees, the Blues scrum-half, is playing for a place in the Wales squad after being publicly criticised by the national attack coach, Rob Howley, for his part in last month's draw against Fiji. "I do not take criticism personally," he said. "I am my own biggest critic and it will not get me down, just as I did not let praise for the way I had played against Australia a few weeks before go to my head. I do not think I have a point to prove, but I accept I need to be more consistent."
Rees joined the Blues from London Irish and his last outing for the Exiles was at Franklin's Gardens. "They have come on a lot and their ground is one of the best to play at," he said. "The two games against them this month will have a massive bearing on our season and we have to win them both."

What size? Saline vs Silicone
Doctor Answers 7
Breast augmentation
Thank you for your questionDuring your consultation I like to find out your goals(i.e. What cup size you would like to be).It's important to measure the width of your breast to determine which implant you need . There are 4 different profile implants.
They are moderate ,moderate classic, high and ultra high profiles.
There are three profiles for round saline breast implants .
Low ,moderate and high profile implants .
I use the bloodless breast enlargement technique ,bleeding is minimal, typically there is no bruising after surgery and recovery is quicker versus traditional technique.
I hope you find this useful. Please see enclosed video.

Saline vs Silicone, some advices:
In my practice i recommend using - Cohesive Gel - Silicone Breast Implants with textured cover.
They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and most natural appearance than Saline implants.
Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

What size implants
Both silicone filled and saline filled breast implants are approved for use in the US by the FDA. Both are safe. Breast implants in general have had multiple studies looking at the incidence of collagen vascular disease in patients both with and without implants. There is now definitive evidence that silicone gel implants do not increase a woman's risk for any rheumatologic condition or any set of symptoms that may represent a new disease. Interestingly, the shell of both implants is made of a rubberized silicone. Therefore, what's actually touching the patient inside the pocket is silicone in both a saline and silicone breast implant. There are a few differences in saline and silicone implants that one should consider before choosing each. Saline implants, because they are filled with water, if properly filled, will collapse in the upper portion of the implant as the water reaches a meniscus and lays flat. Saline implants also have a more palpable edge that looks like a wave that you can feel and sometimes see as a wrinkle. When saline implants are grossly overfilled, beyond the manufacturers stated range, these wrinkles can be alleviated by the overfilled implant. These implants may then feel very firm. Because saline implants are two convex discs essentially glued together, as they are filled, the transition from the back of the implant to its front can be very abrupt leading to a much more visible edge. This will make the breast seem very round in patients with very little overlying tissue. In my mind, there are a few advantages of saline implants. Saline implants cost less and because they come with no fluid in them, can be placed through remote access ports like the bellybutton or underarm. Silicone gel implants do not wrinkle as much, feel more breast- like, look better under the breast with less harsh of an edge and therefore less visible than saline implants. Because the gel is connected all the way through to the top of the implant, even in the upright position the upper pole of the breast does not completely collapse. I believe this is better in situations where after pregnancy or weight loss, the patient needs some fullness added to the upper pole of her breast. There's also a difference in how long these implants may last. In my experience, saline implants have a 10 year break rate that somewhere in the low teens and silicone gel implants are somewhere below 5%. In today's modern cosmetic breast practice, where Vectra 3-D imaging is commonly done, I don't think it's an advantage of saline implants that you can add some saline to them intraoperatively to make better symmetry. Using the Vectra 3-D imaging platform, different sizes and shapes and volumes of implants can be placed on a 3-D image of the patient to decide which implants make for the best symmetry and therefore nothing needs to be changed in the operating room. One of the criticisms of silicone gel implants in the past was that the gel with a broken implant could escape into the breast tissue and end up causing systemic illnesses or get into the lymph nodes. Modern silicone gel implants are made with a gel diffusion barrier on the inside such that the small particles of silicone cannot leech through the shell. Also, the gel itself is highly cohesive or sticky taking on more of the consistency of a gummy bear candy than of a liquid. In fact, if the implant is cut in half, the gel will only extrude from the remaining implant if squeezed and then return to the shell when the pressure is let go. Therefore, in the event of a broken silicone gel implant, the gel will be contained mostly inside of the shell of the implant. In my cosmetic breast practice, for the last 13 years or so, I have used mostly silicone gel implants. Hope this information is helpful.
What size? Saline vs Silicone
- Good questions. Much of the final look and feel achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:
- 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation "look" will be optimal.
- 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. Careful measurements (dimensional planning) and careful selection of breast implant size/profile are part of the surgeon's responsibilities.
- I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant.
- 3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. In other words, if a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result.
- 4. The size and model of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C or D cup" etc.
- Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
- I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation concerns), helps. Best wishes.

Anger ManagementMature
In spite of herself, Annie could feel her face get hot. She turned to see her husband leaning against the door, his arms crossed over his chest.
"What the hell are you talking about?" she voice dripped with venom. "And why aren't you at work?"
Bill raised his arm, pointed at her. "I know all about your little affair."
"Affair with who? All I do is work, come home to clean, cook, and wash clothes. When would I even have time for an affair? Where is Molly? Why isn't she at school?"
"She's not feeling well, and the fact is, I'm not either," Bill said.
Annie opened the cupboard and took down a bottle of Absolut and a glass. She poured a couple of shots into the glass.
Bill sneered, "So, we're drinking our breakfast now, are we?"
"I have just spent eight hours at work," she said, "I got up at eleven last night, in case you forgot. Oh yeah, you were sleeping. This is my bedtime, or in this case, happy hour." She drained the glass, and poured another.
"Well, I got a phone call this morning from your lovers wife, telling me about your affair with her husband," he said.
Annie digested this bit of information. She knew that Carter's wife knew nothing about the two of them, so the call was more than likely from one of the other female security guards, and she knew which one. "Did this woman give you her name?"
"No," Bill admitted.
"I didn't think so," Annie said, putting her empty glass in the dishwasher. "There's a girl out there, her name is Jody, she wants my job so bad she can taste it. She has spread lies about me before, trying to get me fired, but that didn't work, so now she's calling you."
Bill blurted out, "How come you never ask me for sex anymore?"
Annie looked him up and down. In disgust she said, "I got tired of begging." With that she went to check on her daughter.

The Nearness of an Awakening (7 of 12) by Jerry Watts
This content is part of a series.The Nearness of an Awakening (7 of 12)
Series: Aiming at an Awakening
Jerry Watts
Luke 24:13-35
• The deep, deep desire of my heart is for God to send His Spirit to us in such a manifest way that people walking by on the street would sense His presence and be drawn in to Him. How often have I heard stories by men of God that someone was simply driving down the street in front of their building and, loaded down with the cares of this world, have sense they needed to stop, go inside, and find help. "Hear my prayer, O Lord."
• We are now over half-way to our target weekend. Along the way we have been and are praying for God to so awaken us to Him, His spirit, His power, and His will, that we can become the clay in His hands to be used at His desire.
• But the question is this: How close are we to a Spiritual Awakening? How near is it? Let's answer that question with the Bible story about the Emmaus road. (READ)
• As I read this story today, seeking God, trying to find the nugget for us tonight; I was amazed at all the gold found in this story. This could (and probably should) be a sermon series.
• The first thing which grabs me is verse 15, "While they were discussing and arguing, Jesus HIMSELF came near and began to walk with them." Think about it, when they thought Jesus was nowhere to be found - He was walking with them.
• Gordon Jensen wrote these words, "In the very thought of Jesus, His presence can be found, He's as close as the mention of His name. There is never any distance between my Lord and me. He's as close as the mention of His name."
• I believe an awakening is as close as Jesus. Seems to me that Jesus comes when we don't think He's coming, that He present when we don't think He's around, and He's our companion even when we don't recognize Him. Seems to me that He waiting for us to get so desperate that, like these 2, we become an open book of honesty into which He can write His words.
• Here's the picture: Je ...

My DD loves scary books but, scary as in mysteries. She's a huge Nancy Drew fan. She loves the older ones but really loves the newer ones which seem to be a bit more intense on the mystery and suspense.
She is running out of Nancy Drew so I was hoping to come up with some other, more recent series type books that are sort of scary but, not dark - nothing sinister or the like. Any ideas?
I came across the School of Fear books. Anyone have any experience with them?
Goosebumps? My 8 year old son loves those.

What would you consider too dark? Harry Potter? Lemony Snickett?
My son loves Spiderwick Chronicles - the movie would be much too scary for him, but the books are fine. They are a bit dark, though.
Has she tried Trixie Belden? I think they are slightly less scary than Nancy Drew, but they are great mysteries.
My 9 yo loves Goosbumps!
Pardon me while I
James Howe's Bunnicula books? They aren't scary, but they are humor based on scary stories. Or Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. My dd1 has enjoyed all of these.
At that age I loved John Bellairs books. They're creepy and mysterious but not too intense. "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" is a good place to start.
The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg is a classic mystery for young readers.
Pure Dead Wicked by Deb Gliori (and a bunch of sequels) is fun, with more yucky gross out stuff than creepy, scary stuff, about a sort-of Addams Family in a crumbling mansion in Scotland.
I haven't got around to reading the Enola Holmes (Sherlock's younger sister) series by Nancy Springer yet, so I don't know how scary it is, but the mysteries are supposed to be quite good.
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch
The Echo Falls mystery trilogy by Peter Abrahams - the first book starts with a murder and it put DD right off the entire series, which is too bad, because they are well written. They may not suit your DD now, but may in a couple of years if she still likes the mystery genre. I think if a child can read about all the torture, murder and mayhem in Harry Potter, they'll do fine with this series.
I really liked The Egypt Game when I was younger. It's kind of a mystery without a little bit of "oooh, that's creepy" but nothing overtly scary in it. Also by Zilpha Keatly Snyder are The Headless Cupid and Season of Ponies, which is more magic than mystery but still good.
Fog Magic is also sort of mysterious with magical ideas.
Mary Downing Hahn writes ghost stories for children. They typically have a happy resolution at the end. You might want to check one out from the library and preview to see what you think. Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story gave me shivers!

AND due 9/13
I remembered another one!
The Mysterious Benedict Society
I just read this, and the sequel The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey, last summer. SUPER fun!
Also, if she likes Nancy Drew what about Trixie Belden?
R~Mama to my sweet A 7//07 & bubbly Z 3/12

I really liked The Egypt Game when I was younger. It's kind of a mystery without a little bit of "oooh, that's creepy" but nothing overtly scary in it. Also by Zilpha Keatly Snyder are The Headless Cupid and Season of Ponies, which is more magic than mystery but still good.
That reminds me of The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, for no other reason than the similar titles. The Westing Game has a nice little puzzle at it's core.
I also neglected to suggest the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. They are an inspiration for the young heroine in the Echo Falls books, and I mentioned the Enola Holmes books, so I don't know how I could have overlooked them.
There are two picture books for older readers that I like, look them over, they are scary, I'm not sure about dark...they are both beautifully illustrated.
The Shadow by Donna Diamond
The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman

Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a brilliant book by an awesome author and a fandabidosable illustrator, Chris Riddell. The only problem I find with this fantastic series of books (yes, there's more!) is that they are probably 60 percent drawings and 40 percent writing, but other than that, the writing side is absolutely fantastical!
Ottoline and her Norwegian bog monster and best friend Mr. Monroe love solving mysteries. So much so, they manage to track down a thief! In this episode of events, she sees lots of reports of stolen lap dogs and jewels! When the best friends see the articles and make up a plan, they really can't resist getting terribly involved ...
So join Ottoline and Mr. Monroe on an exciting journey that includes a burglar-cat, talking lap-dogs, and a ... talking bear that hibernates in the laundry room!
Anyway, it is a marvellous book that I personally think can be read by all ages, but it's really your decision on that one!
