With the Senate Judiciary Committee poised to defeat the nomination of Bill Lann Lee to be the Government's top civil rights enforcer, Mr. Lee's backers today delayed a vote to make a last-ditch drive for support for him.
Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the panel's ranking Democrat, exercised his prerogative to postpone the vote until the next committee meeting. Mr. Leahy indicated that he wanted to allow time for Mr. Lee's supporters to build political pressure on Republicans who are opposing him because of his support for programs that give preference to women and minorities.
''When the country has had an opportunity to focus on this important nomination and senators have had a chance to consider how their constituents feel,'' Mr. Leahy said, ''I'm confident that a positive outcome is going to be assured.''
Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the panel's chairman, who announced this week that he would oppose the nomination, set the next vote on Mr. Lee for Thursday, regardless of whether the full Senate adjourned this weekend as the leadership would like. Senate rules allow committee meetings even when the Senate is adjourned.Continue reading the main story
For several days, Mr. Hatch has expressed his objections to Mr. Lee, saying Mr. Lee has misinterpreted Supreme Court and lower court decisions on affirmative action and other rulings on issues like discrimination.
''I think it's time for us to take a stand against these policies that are dividing America and ripping us apart,'' Mr. Hatch said. ''I think it's just wrong. And frankly it's time to face that music, and I guess we are going to have to do it on the Bill Lee nomination, and I am prepared to do it.''
The committee's eight Democrats need the votes of two Republicans to send the nomination forward. Clinton Administration officials and representatives of civil rights groups who back Mr. Lee say they will use that time to lobby several Republicans on the committee, especially Fred Thompson of Tennessee, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Mike DeWine of Ohio and Spencer Abraham of Michigan. Mr. DeWine and Mr. Abraham have already said they will vote against the Lee nomination.
''We're going to turn up the heat,'' said Karen Narasaki, executive director of the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium.
Mr. Lee, 48, a Chinese-American lawyer from Los Angeles, is bidding to become the first Asian-American to be Assistant Attorney General for civil rights.
Seemingly assured that he would be confirmed two weeks ago, Mr. Lee and his supporters were surprised by the late opposition and have been scrambling this week for votes.
With 10 Republicans on the panel, the vote of one for Mr. Lee would produce a tie, which would defeat the nomination. Mr. Lee's backers hope to persuade at least two Republicans to support him or to vote to pass his nomination without a recommendation to the full Senate, where they believe he stands a better chance. Even if Mr. Lee's backers succeed in getting his nomination onto the Senate floor, several Republicans have threatened a filibuster.
William Mellor, president of the Institute of Justice, a conservative legal organization that opposes Mr. Lee, said today that he believed that Mr. Hatch would put enough pressure on his fellow Republicans to keep the nomination from the Senate floor.
''I think Hatch will remain steadfast,'' Mr. Mellor said.
While critics of Mr. Lee concede that he is qualified for the job, they say his positions on affirmative action programs and busing for integration are opposed by the American people and are of dubious legality.
For example, Mr. Hatch said today, as he did in a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, that Mr. Lee had fundamentally ''mischaracterized'' the Supreme Court's holding on the constitutionality of affirmative action programs that grant preferences based on race or sex. In response to questions from the committee, Mr. Lee said that a 1995 High Court decision, Adarand Constructors v. Pena, permitted racial preference programs if they were ''conducted in a limited and measured manner.''
Mr. Hatch said that Mr. Lee's answer ''purposefully misses the mark of the Court's fundamental holding that such programs are presumptively unconstitutional.''
At today's committee meeting, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware, said Mr. Hatch was engaging in an argument over semantics rather than a substantive disagreement. Mr. Biden said the Court did not outlaw racial preference programs, but only made them harder to justify.
''All Bill Lee said was the same thing the Court said,'' Mr. Biden declared. ''Bill Lee said that it set down standards that are strict, that you have to adhere to in order to pass muster.''
Mr. Hatch also said that on the day Californians were approving a ballot initiative that outlawed programs with race and gender preferences, Mr. Lee tried to rush a consent decree through the Los Angeles City Council that contained ''inducements for the city to engage in race- and gender-conscious hiring and promoting for 18 years.''
The consent decree stemmed from a lawsuit charging a pattern of sexual harassment in the Los Angeles Police Department. Included in suit was the allegation that a group of officers in the West Hollywood division set up an association called ''Men Against Women.'' The person who established the group was Mark Fuhrman, the detective who gained fame in the O. J. Simpson case.
Mr. Hatch suggested that Mr. Lee had tried to get around the initiative by having the consent decree approved before the initiative became effective. Mr. Hatch also said that Mr. Lee had tried to have the consent decree approved by a Federal Magistrate without a ''fairness hearing'' that would have considered the impact of the decree on whites.
Mr. Lee's supporters have released letters from the Los Angeles City Attorney that said there was no attempt to get around the initiative, since the consent decree committing the police department to certain hiring and promotion ''goals,'' specifically said that preferences should not be used to achieve them, city officials said.
Mr. Lee said in his answers to the panel that no fairness hearing had been requested, as the approval by the City Council would have been only preliminary. When specific hiring and promotion goals were actually established, Mr. Lee said, a hearing would then be held to determine what impact those goals would have on whites. Los Angeles officials are still in negotiations over the consent decree.
Mr. Lee's advocates said the Republicans were employing a double standard on his nomination.
They noted that the panel today unanimously approved the nomination of Seth P. Waxman as Solicitor General, the Justice Department official who would argue the Administration's cases in the Supreme Court. On Wednesday, Mr. Waxman gave virtually the same answers as Mr. Lee to questions on the constitutionality of preference programs.
''Am I missing something?'' Ms. Narasaki asked. ''Am I the only one who sees that the only difference between Bill and Seth is that Bill is Asian?''
At today's meeting, however, Mr. Hatch steadfastly denied he was motivated by race. ''It is a matter of principle to me,'' he said, ''not a matter of race or of anything else. It's a matter of principle.''Continue reading the main story

My son Harry has been attending Esprit Martial arts for the last 5 months. After more than a year at a different school I found Esprit a refreshing change. The classes are a good size with enough teachers on hand to ensure that each child gets the right amount attention. This means that they are consistently developing strong and effective techniques. Harry has responded so well to the classes and was delighted to recently achieve his yellow belt. Beyond the Karate however the children are learning discipline and more effective listening skills which are incredibly valuable to them on so many levels. I'm delighted with his progress.
My son is loving learning Jiu Jitsu with John, it is a fun, supportive atmosphere that teaches focus, strength along with self-defence. One of the first things that he was taught was how to fall safely, protecting the head. This skill came in handy, when he fell off a wall he was climbing onto a hard concrete surface. He tucked in his head, as John had taught him avoiding, what could have been, a serious head injury and walked away with only a few grazes and bruises. I would recommend Esprit Martial Arts to any one!

Phase transformations in shock compacted magnetic materials
Wehrenberg, Christopher
MetadataShow full item record
Shock compaction experiments were performed on soft magnetic phases Fe₄N and Fe₁₆N₂, and hard magnetic phases Nd₂Fe₁₄B and Sm₂Fe₁₇N₃ in order to determine their thermo-mechanical stability during shock loading and explore the possibility of fabricating a textured nanocomposite magnet. Gas gun experiments performed on powders pressed in a three capsule fixture showed phase transformations occurring in Fe₄N, Fe₁₆N₂, and Nd₂Fe₁₄B, while Sm₂Fe₁₇N₃ was observed to be relatively stable. Shock compaction of FCC Fe₄N resulted in a partial transformation to HCP Fe₃N, consistent with previous reports of the transition occurring at a static pressure of ~3 GPa. Shock compaction of Fe₁₆N₂ produced decomposition products alpha-Fe, Fe₄N, and FeN due to a combination of thermal effects associated with dynamic void collapse and plastic deformation. Decomposition of Nd-Fe-B, producing alpha-Fe and amorphous Nd-Fe-B, was observed in several shock consolidated samples and is attributed to deformation associated with shock compaction, similar to decomposition reported in ball milled Nd-Fe-B. No decomposition was observed in shock compacted samples of Sm-Fe-N, which is consistent with literature reports showing decomposition occurring only in samples compacted at a pressure above ~15 GPa. Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Fe-N were shown to accommodate deformation primarily by grain size reduction, especially in large grained materials. Hard/Soft composite magnetic materials were formed by mixing single crystal particles of Nd-Fe-B with iron nanoparticles, and the alignment-by-magnetic-field technique was able to introduce significant texture into green compacts of this mixture. While problems with decomposition of the Nd₂Fe₁₄B phase prevented fabricating bulk magnets from the aligned green compacts, retention of the nanoscale morphology of the alpha-Fe particles and the high alignment of the green compacts shows promise for future development of textured nanocomposite magnets through shock compaction.

Harley-Davidson Slim S Project: New Lighting
Alright guys so for the first part of this project I have installed a few of my personal favorite upgrades. I threw on the H-D Daymaker headlight along with the Daymaker LED auxiliary lights wrapped in the black auxiliary housing kit. An extremely easy upgrade are the smoked lenses and they make a huge difference in styling. Harley's bullet style turn signals are a great design, making a sleek styled unit, but still with a decent face large enough to get other motorist's attention. Getting rid of the unpleasant orange lens makes the entire unit perfect. Not only do the blacked out LED Daymakers look amazing, they light up the whole world! We took one of many happy customer's reviews off of Harley-Davidson.com. DeDog of Michigan says: "By far some of the best money I have spent for my own safety. This provides much better night vision as well as daylight visibility for other drivers. Looks great too. I would purchase again without hesitation."
Adding just the headlight dramatically improves the field of visibility at night, but adding the two auxiliary lights as well lights up so much more of the road ahead of you. The trio makes an extremely wide beam of highly focused white light. You don't have to worry about not being seen at night with these lights that is for sure. I installed the same setup on my personal Road King years ago when Harley first introduced them and have been an advocate of them ever since. Continuing with the lighting system I also installed Harley's black flush-mounted fuel gauge and gas cap. I also installed flush-mount system on my personal Road King years ago.
By far some of the best money I have spent for my own safety. This provides much better night vision as well as daylight visibility for other drivers. Looks great too. I would purchase again without hesitation. Review by DeDog of MichiganThe Slim S comes off the showroom floor all blacked out already but adding these minor additions brings the blacked out vibe to life even more, which you may have figured out, is exactly my style. I have more installs coming so keep your eyes peeled. So how many of you out there foresaw this upgrade? I am sure there are a few of you who guessed it right away. We still have more to come so keep submitting your thoughts, we do read them and I find it interesting the direction some of you think I am going with this project.

Intimate Selving in Arab Families: Gender, Self, and Identity

BeschreibungThis collection of articles written by native feminist scholars focuses on intimate Arab familial relationships. The authors identify key family relationships -- mother-son, brother-sister, mother-daughter-granddaughter, co-wives, and father-daughter -- to explore them in terms of shaping and defining gender in relation to others.This book, which for the first time brings into the Arab community the scholarly discussion of gendering of the self -- the process of intimate selving -- is divided into three parts: biographical and autobiographical, ethnographic, and literary accounts. Although studies of these relationships have received considerable attention in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia, it has not been addressed until now in the Arab world.

Ripoff Report
Expedia/TravelscapeInternet USA
Expedia/Travelscape Verbally lied to make sell of Hotel reservation Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
on 5/19 I was looking for a hotel in Pearl, MS on the internet for June 23-26. I used expedia/travelscape to locate one. I was concerned and talked to someone listed by phone# to inquire if there was a bedroom and living room at the Candlewood Inn and Suites, so that my wife and I could stay in the bedroom and my daughter could stay on a couch bed, before I clicked on "Make Reservation". The guy on the phone assured me that would work.
Because of the price of $315.69 I understood there would be no refund for any reason. I thought that would be O.K. since I had just been assured of the 3 people and living room provided.
I never got an email of the reservation, but I thought everything was OK. I didn't remember the name of the hotel for sure or their address. Finally, today 6/18, I looked at my AMEX bill and saw 112685513236877 877-283-5585 NV and called the phone number and was told yes I had the reservation and they would send me an email of the reservation. When I got it I was shocked. It only listed 2 people. I called the hotel directly and was told there is no living room, just the bedroom.
What a Rip-Off!!!

The MissionMature
My name is Eroan Morro. My parents, Elwin Morro and Camila Morro, are the royal human ambassadors.
I'm turning 27 and, it's on this day, my mother was going to reveal my true past. That is, until she got gravely ill. She is a human which means only one thing: find medicine or she'll die.
I, my sister Kilyn, and our friends are going on a mission to find a flower that is rumored to not only save my mother, but keep her alive long enough to spend the rest of my father's life with him.
The horn hadn't sounded but I was already awake. Today was the celebration of my 27th year. I got out of my bed in the home I shared with my sister, Kilyn Morro. She was two years my junior but she was a little bit of a mischievous elf. She was one of my best friends, though, and I kept her safe at all times.
My parents lived in the castle with Queen Tsarra who had recently taken over the throne. For the first time in our history, the realm was run by a queen on her own. She had no husband. Her past is shrouded in mystery. Mother wouldn't speak to me about it. She and Father were ambassadors for the humans and elves. We've lived in peace these last 28 years but a heavy cloud still hangs over my father's head. He still could not find the leader of the goblins that had attacked our realm so many years ago.
I changed into the typical elven attire and stretched to get breakfast. Kilyn was already awake, reading a piece of parchment and munching on some fruits.
"You need vegetables," I lectured and she wrinkled her nose.
"They're not as... sweet as fruits, though."
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, Kilyn," I sighed. "Just eat a few."
She stuck her tongue out at me but at some vegetables anyway. She then stood just as the horn sounded. We walked out and I yawned a little. The palace kingdom was abuzz with elves rushing to their jobs. They stared at me as I passed and I sighed. Kilyn took my arm in comfort.
I didn't look like the other elves. In fact, I didn't look like an elf at all. I had short brown hair and blue eyes. I had a human's body that I assumed I got from my mother. However, I did have skills and the extended life of elves which must have come from my father. There was something else behind it, though, and my mother had promised to tell me today.
We entered the palace and went into the throne room. Queen Tsarra was speaking with her hand maiden when she saw us. I frowned.
"Where are our parents?" I asked and the queen sighed.
"Follow me, you two," she whispered.
I shared a look with Kilyn. She looked scared. The queen led us up to the room that my parents shared. We walked in and Kilyn gasped, rushing to the bed. I hung back sadly.
My mother lay in bed, her skin almost transparent. Her eyes were sunken and she was having trouble breathing. My father stood beside her, his eyes red from crying. When he saw me, he beckoned me over.
"Hi, Mother," I whispered.
She smiled weakly. "Eroan. I wish I could deliver you a happier birthday."
"What's wrong with her?" I asked my father.
He led me to the window. He sighed, bowing his head.
"It's a rare illness among the humans," he whispered. "We do not know the name. She's dying, Eroan."
I could tell he wanted to cry but he kept his composure. I looked at my mother sadly.
"How long?"
"One month."
"And there's no way to help her?" I asked desperately.
He sighed again. "There's one way but it's too dangerous. I don't even want to consider it."
"What is it?" I demanded.
"There's a flower far to the north," he explained. "They say that, when mixed with the appropriate potion, it can heal and even extend the life of the drinker."
"Then let's get it," I said immediately. "We don't have time to waste."
"Didn't you hear me, Eroan?" he whispered. "It's too dangerous. And it's just a legend."
"If it can heal Mother, I don't care," I snapped. "Tell me what it is called."
His eyes flicked between mine. "It is called the Moonglow Flower," he said finally. "If you plan on taking this journey, Eroan, you cannot go alone."
"I'll come," Kilyn said. She had come over while elves were helping Mother eat. "And we can get some of our friends."
Our father sighed. "I don't feel comfortable about this...."
"We have to do it," I pressed, looking at my mother. "I don't want her to die, Father."
His eyes watered and Kilyn hugged him. I swallowed thickly.
"I'm going," I said finally. "Do you have a map?"
"Remember, these are rumors," he whispered. "If you don't find it...."
"We'll come right back," Kilyn said.
"Go to the archives," our father said. "You'll find what you need there."
I went back to my mother first. She smiled at me again and I kissed her forehead.
"I have to go on a trip for a little bit," I said. "Kilyn is going to come with me."
"Don't bother trying to hide it from me," my mother whispered. "I know where you are traveling. You must promise to be as safe as you possibly can be. I know I cannot stop you." She caressed my cheek sadly. "I love you, Eroan. And you, Kilyn."
I kissed her cold hand. "And we love you. We will be back."
While Eroan went to the archives, I rushed to find my fellow guardian elves. They were by the fountain waiting for us.
"It took you long enough," Rina Leoris said with a frown. She had long brown hair and green eyes.
"I need you all to follow me," I panted.
"Why?" the other she-elf, Sylmae Trafir, asked. Just like Rina, she was brown haired and green eyed.
"I'll explain when we meet up with Eroan."
The two he-elves, Galan Ologolor and Folen Sylris, looked at each other but followed me all the same. We jogged up the palace stairs and put our weapons on our backs. I led the way to the archives where Eroan was speaking with the archive master.
"You're chasing a fairy tale, my boy," the master sighed. "But go if you wish."
"Thank you," Eroan said and beckoned for us all to follow him. He led us to a study. "Have you explained everything?"
"No," I said. "I thought you should."
"Very well."
While he explained, I went to the kitchens and had them prepare food for us. I then went to get warm clothing and extras for Eroan. Though he was an elf by nature, he had the body of a human and needed to bathe more often than the elves. I always wondered about his human heritage but I never had gotten the chance to speak with Mother about it.
As I returned to the study, I wondered if I ever would.

Hi All,
I have an E46 330ci Sport Convertible with 24mm Front ARB. I just fitted an M3 Coupe 26mm ARB. It fitted perfectly but I noticed that they were slightly different in shape. The drop arms for both these models are the same part number. I was concerned that as they are a different shape will I have actually made the cornering characteristics worse. I occasionally go down the ring and wanted to stiffen up the front in preparation for my next lap. Have I done the wrong thing fitting an M3 Coupe ARB to a 330ci Convertible?

A MessageMature
Kuroth rose the following day feeling much better. He had all but fallen into his bed the previous evening and could not even remember his head hitting the pillow. That link stone had taken more out of him than he thought. Coercion over a link stone was hard, and to accomplish it with two Orcs at the same time while being linked with two others was demanding to say the least. He did not intend to use the stone today at all if he could help it.
He pulled the bell cord to summon his personal attendants. He only had to wait for a few moments before three women filed into the room. One of them carried the towels, and another carried the clothes he would wear this day, the third was empty handed. They bowed to him as one and at his gesture they led the way to the bathing room, the one carrying nothing opening doors for Kuroth and the two others. He admired the sway of their hips as they made their way along the hallway that separated his sleeping chambers from the bathing room. The lush carpets under their feel caught the sun's rays in the morning and felt pleasantly warm under his bare feet as they walked the length of the long hallway. The distance was meant to keep the humidity of the bathing room apart from the sleeping chambers.
The bathing room was a large tiled room with a huge tub set into the floor. In truth the tub had been chiselled out of the floor and a hole bored in the bottom of it. This room had taken many years to complete. There were many places on top of the fortress where rainwater was collected and ran into a series of water reservoirs. It was actually quite ingenious. The man who had designed it died a century before it was completed, but Kuroth was sure that the man would be quite proud to see that it was still in use thousands of years later. In a room higher up there was a large vessel that was continually heated and the water from there could be splashed into the tub for hot water whenever it was needed, such as now. Two levers were set into the wall. Pulling one would drain hot water into the tub, the other released cold water.
"Dory, please make this day's bath quite warm."
The slim blonde woman and gave a short bow before moving to the leavers. She walked over to the levers and pulled on the hot one. She watched attentively as the water soon splashed out of the hole set right near the top of the tub.
While the water started filling the tub, the woman with the towels set down her burden and then began to undress him. She was a tall redheaded woman named Sarah, and every day he woke she wordlessly removed his clothing, with her smiling blue eyes darting here and there. While Sarah removed his sleeping garments, the third woman (named Victoria) put his day's clothing into a sealed wooden box where it would not get too damp from the steam that was beginning to envelope the room. Sarah's hands were warm and soft as she removed his clothes and then guided him over to a long padded bench set well back from the tub.
There was a shelf along one wall and it held a number of vials. Victoria walked over to the shelf, her long dark hair swaying as she turned and gestured to the vials "Do you have a preference today, my Lord?" She had a little smile on her face as she watched him shake his head. Victoria knew her craft, and she knew which oils he preferred better than he did himself. She plucked a vial and was rubbing the oil onto her hands as Sarah laid him down on the bench.
Together those two rubbed the oils into his flesh, and he felt his tense muscles loosening up. He enjoyed the feeling of their smooth strong hands kneading his body. The oil and their rubbing creating a pleasant heat that permeated through him and he found his thoughts wandering pleasantly as the stresses of the last few days eased out of him.
It wasn't until they stopped that he realized how close he had been to dozing off. When they got him to his feet he could see that Dory had the pitchers and soaps lined up and ready to be used on him. It was never a long massage session in the morning, just long enough to fill up the tub and for Dory to get everything ready. She had removed her garments and was in the tub waiting for him. Her blue eyes twinkled as she smiled up at him.
This time of the day was his favourite. These three had served him this way for over thirty years, and he had the power to keep them looking and feeling young for many more. He had twelve personal servants, and he rewarded each of them with remarkable long life as long as they served him well. He appreciated their company and their friendship and with a few of them he enjoyed the pleasures of the body. As he sunk into the tub and Dory began to wash him, Kuroth realized that he was in the mood for the physical pleasures that sometimes accompanied his morning routine. There was nothing so pressing he could not delay it for a few hours.
As he usually did when such feelings possessed him, he invited the other two women to join him in the bath. As they disrobed and began sliding into the water he smiled appreciatively. Sarah and Victoria looked very different, yet both exuded strength. Victoria had a fair complexion which made her dark eyes and straight black hair even more striking. Sarah had a long mane of red hair and blue eyes that seemed to tinkle with mischief. Her olive skin looked positively dark next to Victoria, and her tall lithe form contrasted with Victoria's short and sturdy frame.
As they slid into the tub his gaze fell on Dory. She was as unlike the other two as they were different from one another. She was all willowy grace, and it looked like a stiff breeze would either blow through her or knock her down. She moved in the bath every day without splashing or making waves as she slid through the water. She looked up at him meekly while her hands cleansed his body using cloths and brushes and sponges. This was at least as relaxing as the massage, with the added pleasure of having her naked body brushing against his as she worked.
He was admiring the graceful way that Dory's wraithlike form was moving through the water when she looked up wide eyed and then gave a most ungraceful jerk of her entire body. Her small mouth was a dreadful grimace as she jerked again and again in the water. Her hands had turned to claws and her whole body was shaking violently. As she jerked around she created great splashes that made Sarah and Victoria shy away in alarm.
As suddenly as it had started, it was over. Dory put her arms calmly to her sides and a triumphant grin filled her face. The water began to steam even more than before and with a yelp Sarah and Victoria jumped out of the water, moving quickly back away from what they did not understand. Their skin was an angry red where they had been in the water. For Kuroth he felt out with his mind and exerted his will on the water, cooling it around him as he calmly removed himself from the tub. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself and then turned back to Dory who was still in the water.
Only it wasn't Dory who looked back at him. He knew this instinctively. The large grin had not faded. If anything it looked wider and made her appear an idiot. Her eyes seemed too wide, and she stood ramrod straight in the bath in a posture that he had never seen Dory in. There was blood slowly trickling out of her ears and nose, but she seemed oblivious to this as she cocked her head to one side and spoke.
"You are enjoying your empire, yes?" The voice that emerged from that mouth was not Dory either. It was a deep voice both gravelly and hissing at the same time.
"Who are you?" Kuroth used his coolest voice. He was pleased that it did not tremble with the knot of fear he had in his gut.
"Who I am..." she paused, bringing her head straight before canting it to the side again. "Not important. You need not know such things. You only need know who I serve."
"Nemus." The word came out as a croak. He had thought as much.
"I see you fear her, too. That is well. I bring you warnings."
"Warnings?" The knot in his gut sunk lower.
"Yes, many warnings." The idiot-smile never left her face, she still stared at him with eyes too wide and a big grin. Kuroth felt like he was being mocked, but he dare not take exception to it. The blood from her nose had trickled over her lip and her teeth had blood on them. The effect was enough to make someone think twice about challenging whatever was controlling Dory.
"What is the message?"
"She warns you to remember the blood. The time of Intervention has come."
"Intervention... now?"
"Yes, less than a day ago."
"That she cannot tell, but you are to be wary and watch for the signs. No Intervention is without repercussions... you will see."
"What is your master going to do?"
"She is your master too. Do not forget. She sent me to warn, and that is no small boon."
"How is it that you were able to take control of that body?"
"The mind had been broken and weakened by your tampering, that makes it vulnerable to... exploitation." With that the body suddenly relaxed and slipped down into the water. Kuroth did not seek to revive her. He knew she would be dead after what had just happened.
He looked over to the other two women. They were both on the far side of the room. Sarah had her hands on her mouth. Her Blue eyes were round with Horror, and Victoria just stared fixedly at the body of Dory. They could not understand what had happened, but they knew too much now. Kuroth put his best smile forward as he approached them. They shied slightly from him as he put his hands on their shoulders, and then he felt them stiffen in panic and pain as their hearts both stopped beating.
They both fell to the tiled floor in wet naked heaps. What a waste! Training new attendants was always a trying experience, and a part of him was sad that he had had to end them. He found that his head was hurting again, which made it hard to think. He shook his head vigorously, which only exacerbated the problem. He squeezed his eyes shut for a few moments and then grabbed his clothes and fled the room.
As he got back to the bed chamber the fear started to claw at him again. With an Intervention he would see signs, would he? What kind of signs might he miss if they were on the other side of the world. He wished he could think through the headache, he needed a clear head. No one else could do his thinking for him; his Orcs were so stupid that they might miss it or just not report it. What would repercussions look like; what should he tell them to look for? He stopped in the dead in his tracks as it came to him. The earthquake.
He spurred into motion an instant later, running out of the chamber in his urgency. He hoped it was not too late to do what had to be done. He cursed himself for not being ready for this. He had been told it might come, but somehow he had just never really prepared, but there was still much that he could do. As he hurried further down into the structure he realized that his headache had cleared.

Preferred Pasta
Timeless Nutrition Tip
Is pasta one of your favorite foods? If so, you are right on target with respondents to survey results. Pasta is a healthful and popular choice with Americans and offers a large variety of possibilities, providing B Complex Vitamins, iron, carbohydrates and protein.
Pasta is of the grain group. This is the reason you will find pasta at the bottom of the food guide pyramid. The grain products at the base of the food pyramid consist of six to eleven suggested servings. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it?! However, one serving of pasta is only the equivilant of 1/2 cup cooked. Combine this with vegetables, lean meat, fish or poultry and you can turn pasta into a well balanced meal in minutes.
Some healthy and tasty suggestions are to top your pasta of choice with marinara sauce, low-fat salad dressing or broth, or even vegetable puree. If you enjoy an extra kick of flavor, try seasoning your pasta with herbs, and/or small amounts of reduced to non fat cheeses. Your options are only limited by your creativity.
For added fiber in your diet, give whole wheat pasta a try.
Pasta Trimming Tip: Choose red sauce over cream-based sauces on your favorite pasta.
Noteable Note: October is National Pasta Month. October 25 is World Pasta Day.

I got a small size for free at an event and was pretty excited to try it out. but my honest opinion (even though I love lush) is that it is overall really bad. does basically nothing, and smelled overly sweet I hated hated it. only used it that once since I couldn't stand the smell

It smells really good - not quite strawberry milkshake, but rather more floral and complex. Unfortunately that's where the good parts end. It does absolutely nothing for my hair, almost like I didn't use conditioner at all. This, and I have normal hair. A regular $4 drugstore conditioner does a better job than this. I would've preferred it to be in a tub or some kind of more squeezy bottle too as the conditioner is not as fluid as a shower gel and I have to shake and hit the bottle to get the product out when I got to below half the bottle.

This is a great conditioner for adding softness and detangling. Since that's about all I need these days, especially after I use a heavily moisturizing shampoo like Fairly Traded Honey, American Cream is perfect. I love it almost as much as I love Happy Happy Joy Joy. For moisture, American Cream seems more effective, but for body and bounce, Happy Happy works better with my hair. I am head-over-heels in love with the smell of Happy Happy. I enjoy the smell of American Cream, but nothing is a special as orange blossom, for me. American Cream has a beautiful vanilla base that lasts like perfume. It's vanilla and another sweet aroma Lush says is strawberry. When smelling this without reading the description, however, I personally would never think, "strawberry vanilla". It doesn't smell like a "milkshake" to me, either. I smell vanilla, honey, styrax benzoin, and strawberry oil (rather than the actual fruit). I think of the American Cream name as a nice tribute to a beautiful, rare horse breed, which could soon be only a memory. I don't know if this hair conditioner is actually named for this horse breed. I suppose it could be a rhyme with "American Dream" or something.

Ugh. I want so badly to love this. The smell is incredible. I'm not sure how to describe it. I get a lot of vanilla, not so much strawberry. But not a "milkshake" vanilla. This smells a little more sophisticated. Almost floral. I could write for ages about the scent, it is just that good. Truly the best smelling hair product I have ever encountered. Best of all, the scent lasts in my hair for ages. Sometimes on the bus home from work I will turn my head and catch a whiff, a day or 2 after washing.
BUT. This honestly dried my hair out. I am not SLS-free but for some reason there are sulfates in this conditioner which is really weird. Lush claims it is there to act as an emulsifier but whatever the reason, this is NOT as moisturizing on me as I expected and as it is presented to be. Rinsing out my hair, it feels like nothing was ever in it. It still feels tangly and dry and just not good. My hair is long and colored, but not super damaged or dry, so I can't imagine using this if I really needed a lot of moisture. I can only imagine it does strip my hair color since there is SLS.
If this product had literally any other scent it would be 1 star for me. Totally useless. But wow, it's just that good. Also $20 for 8oz is not outrageous in the world of haircare but it just is too much for conditioner that I basically only keep around to smell every once in a while.

I bought this on a whim, despite knowing of all the bad press this product has gotten. I loved the smell and I've been looking for a conditioner to pair with Lush's Rehab shampoo I've been using for the past few months. I have thick, naturally curly shoulder length hair and using a conditioner really helps my curls form nicely and stay bouncy. Even though I was expecting this product to not work out for me, I was planning on just using it as a shaving cream because the smell is as good as everyone says it is. It's very similar to Lush's Shimmy Shimmy body tint bar.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this product works. I used it on the ends of my hair and on my bangs after washing my hair in the shower and let it set for about a minute before I washed it out. I will say it did take a while to completely wash it out. Afterwards, I brushed my hair and I noticed that even though my hair was still wet, my hair still had noticeable formed curls and wasn't flat like it would usually be after a shower. Once it had dried, my hair was soft, my curls were beautifully formed and not frizzy or flat and my hair smelled amazing all day! This product works really well for my hair and I'm really glad I purchased it and I would definitely buy it again. However, I think it's a pretty hit and miss product. For some people it's their HG, for others it's a complete nightmare, so I can't really recommend it per se. If you think it's something you'd like, ask for a tester to see if it works with your hair.
While it is a bit pricey, I personally think it's worth it. Yes, I could get the same effect for a fraction of the price in the supermarket but I feel like because it is a vegan product with ethically sourced ingredients the price is pretty reasonable. The reason the supermarket conditioner only costs a euro or two is because the ingredients are easily accessible ( i.e, non-vegan, animal tested, parabens, ect. ). It's definitely not cheap, but I don't think the price for the 100g bottle I got is completely outrageous for what it is. 100g really goes a long way if you use it right. With any conditioner you have to make sure you only use a little and only put it on your ends, and then wash it out well. If you don't, then that's what makes your hair flat, dry and tangled afterwards.
In conclusion, I personally found this product to be fantastic and I'll definitely repurchase. However, I would recommend you get a tester before buying. This conditioner acts differently on everyone's hair and because it is a bit pricey, you should make sure it works with yours before you buy a bottle.

This conditioner is crap ! I was given samples of this yesterday at lush.
I have very long thick dry damaged ( only from the past Bc I no longer use much heat. ) I don't wash my hair unless I have my products otherwise my hair will always be super tangly and hard to manage. I was impressed with the sales rep that was told me that in the beginning the people behind lush were first hair gurus so as I explain how particular I am about hair care he gave me some samples of this conditioner and I love juicy shampoo. I used them today and both were very dry which I expected from a shampoo but the conditioner? My hair was super tangly after I washed it out. I wasn't crazy about the smell either it's too much. smells like vanilla cream and maybe orange cicle mixed together
.actually giving me a headache sitting here writing this review ugh.
I am currently using Paul Mitchell lavender mint shampoo and conditioner because it's super conditioning for me. I am so glad I didn't buy this. Especially with how expensive it was OMG.
My hair feels really dry right now
. Thank god for its a 10 leave in conditioner. I would skip this all together if u have long thick hai like me Bc it's not moisturizing or smoothing at all.

Well, let me tell you, I spent a pretty penny on this during a manic PMS episode when my sanity was compromised. I will not tell you how much I spent for my 16 oz bottle, but just know I spent more than I usually spend on the large sizes of the biolage duo that i use.
Anyway... It is NOT worth that. However, I was enticed by the reviews of the smell and the great conditioning it does for hair. The smell was something I just had to know for myself, because the reviews are almost all good. I have been looking for great smelling conditioners which will have long lasting staying power in my hair.... But which will also give very good conditioning. I get really tired of the smell of Biolage after 20 years of using it. Biolage smells wonderful, mind you, but I just get tired of it after awhile.
This definitely does that ... The scent lasts and lasts and lasts. But unfortunately I am confused about what it really smells like and if I even like the scent. To be perfectly honest, my first reactions to the scent were bad... It smelled like a concentrated version of baby aspirin (it smelled like baby aspirin tastes... and though baby aspirin tastes sort of good to me, it isnt a smell I would lust after... not one bit). In my case, (and in the bottle I own) the strawberry was upfront, very sharp, and I detected NO soft, creamy, vanilla milkshake to cut through the acidic strawberry. And I hate to say it but the strawberry itself smelled fake and strange to me.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised by the conditioning this did for my hair. WOW. It is really a huge gamble for me when I diverge from Biolage balm. Nothing works as beautifully for my hair as Biolage. But American Cream gave me some very good results, better than most conditioners. Not better than Biolage, but pretty excellent nontheless.
My hair is soft, super shiny, good body (not great, but pretty good), great slip, not oily looking AT ALL. My hair basically feels great. And two days later it still smells strongly of baby aspirin (lol, JK... it actually smells much better now. It smells clean, with strawberry and a bit of vanilla now).
Would I buy it again? Yes, certainly, if it were 16$ a bottle I would. But as long as this is as, if not MORE expensive than my entire huge bottles of the Biolage Duo (which are worth every penny, and expensive) I will pass on this. It is not worth the money they charge for it, by a long shot, unless you are Paris Hilton.
I will savor this, and maybe use it as a leave in if I want the smell on my hair on certain days. And when i finish it, I will look back to it fondly.

Report: QPR 1-0 City
City beaten 1-0 by 75th-minute winner at Loftus Road
Sylla strikes shortly after Reid is thwarted at the other end
City remain in the play-off places on goal difference
Mark Perrow reports from Loftus Road
The fine margins of life in the Sky Bet Championship were evident in West London in a game that hinged on 100 seconds of action.
With City heading towards a rare goalless draw, a quick counter-attack sent Lee Tomlin across the halfway line with purpose and feeding the run of Bobby Reid.
Reid did the first bit brilliantly, turning inside the last defender, only to be thwarted by a stunning save from Alex Smithies.
No sooner had the home team regrouped than they struck the winning goal themselves, as Idrissa Sylla finished from close range at the end of another swift breakaway, condemning City to back-to-back defeats in the process.
Lee Johnson made four changes to his side after falling to a first loss in six matches in the Severnside derby at Cardiff on Friday night.
Adam Matthews, Josh Brownhill, Callum O'Dowda and Reid were all recalled, with Mark Little, Marlon Pack, Luke Freeman and Jamie Paterson making way.
It was Tomlin who handed City a lifeline in South Wales with a stunning strike to halve the deficit, and the maverick forward was at it again in the early stages at Loftus Road.
This time it was a cheeky nutmeg that created something from nothing. As Tomlin raced into the box, it would take a vital interception to prevent him squaring the ball for Tammy Abraham, who was lurking with intent on the edge of the six-yard box.
QPR were without a home win in the league since the opening day of the season, but did show glimpses of their attacking threat from set-pieces as both Sylla and Steven Caulker headed over from corners.
Then Massimo Luongo forced a first notable save when his left-footed shot at the end of a driving run was pushed well clear of danger by Frank Fielding.
Luongo, a key man for Swindon Town in the 2014/15 League One promotion race, was proving a handful.
Again he broke forward from a deeper position after he was only half-stopped by Hordur Magnusson, who was grateful to Matthews for getting his foot in with a crucial sliding tackle to halt the midfielder in his tracks.
Meanwhile, City remained dangerous – particularly through Tomlin. When Joe Bryan dispossessed Tjaronn Chery and found the number ten, it would take an excellent sprawling save from Smithies to keep his left-footed daisy-cutter at bay.
Tomlin did find the desired bottom corner soon after from Gary O'Neil's clever scoop over the defence, only to be flagged offside.
It was a game short of clear-cut chances but not lacking openings to create them.
Both QPR full backs were involved when James Perch's teasing cross ran right across the danger zone, before substitute Nicholas Hamalainen tried his luck with a low drive that deflected wide at the end of the same attack.
But it was City who would create the best opportunity of the half seconds before the interval.
It was no surprise to see Tomlin involved, picking out Brownhill with a ball over the top that the midfielder helped on to Abraham, who struck it first time but uncharacteristically off target as his shot flew past the post from 18 yards with only Smithies to beat.
With the match hanging in the balance, it was the hosts who began the second period on top.
Fielding had to get down smartly to keep out Chery and Ben Gladwin, while only the crossbar prevented Conor Washington finding the net after his 20-yard shot took a wicked deflection off Aden Flint.
Perhaps concerned by the home team's physicality, Johnson reacted with a double change just shy of the hour, introducing extra height in the form of Pack and Aaron Wilbraham as Brownhill and O'Dowda made way.
Ironically it was from one of many QPR corners that City came so close to breaking the deadlock with 17 minutes left.
Tomlin, less influential since the break and controversially booked for an alleged dive on the edge of the QPR box, led the counter-attack and waited for support from Reid, eventually finding him with a perfect pass.
It was a lung-busting run from the Bristolian, carrying him over the halfway line and into the Rangers penalty area, where he brilliantly turned inside the last defender only to be denied by Smithies' outstretched left hand.
In cruel fashion, after City's resulting corner was dealt with, the hosts took the lead themselves as Perch's cross was clinically dispatched by
at the near post.
It was hard on Johnson's men in an even contest. The visitors pressed relentlessly in the closing stages, forcing a series of late corners, but Wilbraham could not quite climb high enough to head home Tomlin's enticing cross and Abraham glanced Freeman's delivery on to the top of Smithies' net.

Two local churches will be offering more than worship later this month — they'll be providing a place to turn in guns.
Atlantic County will hold a Guns for Cash event from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. March 22 and 23 at the Second Baptist Church in Atlantic City and Faith Baptist Church in Pleasantville.
"We recognize that these buybacks aren't a singular, one-stop solution to the gun-violence problem," state Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said in a news release officially announcing the event. "However, they are important because, as we all recognize, there are just too many firearms circulating out there and too many innocent people dying or being critically wounded as a result."
The buyback is one in a string being financed by forfeiture funds from the Attorney General's Office. The fourth buyback since December is being held today and Saturday in Monmouth County. More than 5,300 weapons were turned in through the previous three.
Chiesa said it was "startling ... to look at the amount of weaponry we'd taken in."
That includes handguns, sawed-off shotguns and rifles.
"It is troubling to consider how much lethal firepower is circulating out there in our communities at any given time, just waiting to fall into the wrong hands, or to be used for the wrong purposes," he said.
Acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain had been planning a gun buyback for the county when he got a call saying state money was available, he said at an Atlantic City/Pleasantville Municipal Planning Board meeting earlier this year. The group is working on ways to stem violence in the area.
"Law enforcement agencies on the state, county and municipal levels have partnered with community leaders to remove these weapons from our homes and the homes of our friends and neighbors, where they are more likely to be instruments of tragedy than to serve any legitimate purpose," McClain said in the release. "This program is an excellent example of how law enforcement and local leaders can work together to make our community a safer place to live and a safer place to visit."
Residents can bring as many as three guns to one of the locations and turn them in without questions. The program pays as much as $250 per gun.
Tom Gilbert, commander of Atlantic City's Tourism District, said Thursday that the buyback is one step in getting guns off the street and being proactive against violence.
"We're not just about enforcement," he said. "We're doing a lot of preventative stuff. This is part of that. We're all getting very firmly behind the gun buyback program."
The state's gun buybacks have seen success since they began in December, when Camden collected more than 1,000 guns. Over the next two buybacks, another 4,300 were brought in. There is another event today and Saturday in Monmouth County.
This is the first gun buyback in Atlantic County since November 2010. The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office had about $1,800 left in forfeiture funds after that to be put toward another gun buyback. The state Attorney General's Office has committed $100,000.

Mayhem # 1270547
About MeBFA Photography from Webster University's School of Communications
Let me figure out how to make this sound as professional as possible. I have transitioned from school to working full time in commercial photography. Model Mayhem is funny and will pretty much only be on here for portfolio work. I do studio portraiture and SOME location based. I generally stay away from location, simply because you would have to impress me with some incredible location that nobody knows about. Yeah...no park photos. I work in a professional studio downtown STL. No, I won't be inviting you to my loft for some sketchy photo opportunities. I specialize in portraiture, specifically photographing the face. I generally stay away from boring lighting set ups, so I'm sorry...but I won't do the sunflare/flat studio lighting/whatever other generic thing that most people do. People seem to have forgotten the art of photography and lighting, just because they can convince some girl to get naked. Sex sells and unfortunately, everyone is buying haha.
Although I am a recent graduate and realistically spend most of my time assisting, I am trying to fill up my free time with studio stuff. I'm interested in suggestions that people have. If you can inspire me to come up with some great idea that we can correlate with good lighting, I would love to photograph you. No facebook photos here. Oh and I guess I should add this part on here: Most portfolio work I would do with somebody is purely on a trade for basis. I'm sorry, but I won't be paying money for portfolio building/non commercial stuff. I doubt that I will be hiring anybody for commercial work through model mayhem. Sorry. If you know anything about commercial work/clients, then you know they won't be looking for somebody through this site. In my opinion, it seems a lot more realistic for people to be building up contacts/relations for actual paying gigs and not just looking for some quick cash.
Linked portfolio site has examples of both studio and band photography.
