Stem cells and other innovative intra-articular therapies for osteoarthritis: what does the future hold?
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis in the world, is associated with suffering due to pain, productivity loss, decreased mobility and quality of life. Systemic therapies available for OA are mostly symptom modifying and have potential gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and cardiac side effects.
Please see related article:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis and the leading cause of disability in the United States
Stem cells for OA: a potential new treatment on the horizon?
Stem cells can differentiate into different cell lineages due to their self-renewing and clonogenic capabilities
New pharmacotherapies for intra-articular use in osteoarthritis
While stem cell therapy may constitute a potential therapy for OA patients in the future, there is need for additional new effective and safe treatment options. Currently available systemic treatments for OA symptoms are commonly associated with gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac adverse events, especially in the elderly
Table 1
Emerging intra-articular therapies for osteoarthritis
Therapy/Drug development stage
Proposed mechanism of action
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitor
2 Phase II/III trials
Inhibition of IL-1, a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes cartilage degradation
Human autologous conditioned serum
2 Phase II/III trials
Production of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13
Botulinum toxin
3 Phase II/III trials
Inhibition of release of release of Substance P, calcitonin gene-related protein and glutamate from primary afferent neuron terminals
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7)
1 Phase I trial
Stimulation of proteoglycan, collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis; induction of receptors, prevention of catabolism of cartilage components by interleukin (IL)-1
Human platelet rich plasma (PRP)
Case series (
Stimulation of chondrogenesis, increase in hyaluronic acid production, stabilization of angiogenesis
Fibroblast growth factor-18 (FGF-18)
Stimulation or stabilization of bio-synthesis of cartilage matrix components
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
Increase in cell proliferation and proteoglycan production; stimulation of meniscal cell proliferation and migration
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)
Improvement in cartilage homeostasis by balancing proteoglycan synthesis and breakdown; reduction in synovial inflammation
Caspase inhibitors
Inhibition of chondrocyte death apoptosis
Human Kallistatin
Suppression of inflammatory responses and reduce cell apoptosis
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitor
Inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha-induced cartilage destruction by regulating matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and MMP13
Recombinant human PRG4 (rhPRG4)
Replacement of lubricin, that has lubricant and anti-adhesive properties and is chondroprotective
Recombinant human OPG (rHuOPG)
Suppression of chondrocyte apoptosis
Stimulation of synthesis of IGF-1 and TGF beta1 to stimulate chondrocytes to repair extracellular matrix
Mu-opioid receptor
Reduction of substance P and neurotransmitter release from sensory nerve endings peripherally and centrally
Modulate the imbalance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1)
Berberine, a traditional Chinese medication
Reduction of MMP-3 and MMP-13 levels
Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)
Stimulation of chondrocyte progenitor cells
Increase in chondrocyte viability by reducing oxidative damage
Interluekin-1 beta (IL-1β), thought to play an important role in OA pathology, was targeted with IL-1 receptor antagonist administered IA (at 2 doses, 50 mg and 150 mg) as a single injection in 170 patients
There has been significant recent interest in the use of autologous conditioned serum, which is derived by incubating patient's serum with glass beads to induce the release of several anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13, centrifuged and injected intra-articularly into the joints. However, the early results from two RCTs in humans are contradictory. One RCT of six IA injections showed no significant difference in WOMAC scores (primary outcome) compared to IA saline
Another interesting approach is the use of IA botulinum toxin, which is hypothesized to have antinociceptive and possibly anti-inflammatory action. In three RCTs of a single IA injection of botulinum toxin in to 43-60 painful joints each (with painful OA or painful arthroplasty with OA as the underlying condition), clinically and statistically significant improvements in primary outcome of pain as well as extremity function (on WOMAC and shoulder indices) were noted in IA botulinum toxin group (with or without lidocaine) compared to control treatment (saline or saline plus lidocaine)
Another therapy on the horizon targets bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7). In a phase I tolerability and safety study, IA recombinant human BMP-7 showed a higher response rate in treatment compared to the placebo group

The code below demonstrates the use
Matcher.appendReplacement() and
Matcher.appendTail() methods to create a program to find and replace a sub string within a string.
Another solution that can be used to search and replace a string can be found on the following example: How do I create a string search and replace using regex?.
package org.kodejava.example.util.regex; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class AppendReplacementExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // // Create a Pattern instance // Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[Pp]en"); // // Create matcher object // String input = "Please use your Pen to answer the question, " + "black pen is prefered."; Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); // // Find and replace the text that match the pattern // while (matcher.find()) { matcher.appendReplacement(sb, "pencil"); } // // This method reads characters from the input sequence, // starting at the append position, and appends them to // the given string buffer. It is intended to be invoked // after one or more invocations of the appendReplacement // method in order to copy the remainder of the input // sequence. // matcher.appendTail(sb); System.out.println("Input : " + input); System.out.println("Output: " + sb.toString()); } }
Here is the result of the above code:
Input : Please use your Pen to answer the question, black pen is prefered. Output: Please use your pencil to answer the question, black pencil is prefered.

It's amazing how quickly a week can go by when you are enjoying playing golf.
For the last two months, I have been preparing for the first three domestic events on our schedule — working hard on my swing, short game and putting.
This month, I put more time into my chipping and putting. It sure did show this past week at the RR Donnelly Founders Cup in Phoenix, Ariz.
Links To Rinks
I enjoyed my time with my parents this past week in Phoenix. It's always nice to have them come out and watch me play. Saturday was a fun round for me as a lot of my friends came out to watch me play. I love playing in front of a crowd — it seems to get my adrenaline going. Speaking of adrenaline, not too many people would finish a round of golf and then rush to a playoff hockey championship game. I got my parents to drive — and drive fast!! — as I dressed in the back seat. I made it to my hockey game and only missed the first four minutes. Unfortunately, we lost 3-2. I scored our two goals but just couldn't get the equalizer to push the game to overtime. Our playoffs follow a double-elimination bracket and that was our first loss, so my team plays for the championship again next week but I will not be there.
Good luck girls!
With my chipping, I mainly worked on getting more knee flex in my set up.
My main goal is to get the knee flex in set up and, as I swing the club back and thru impact, maintain that same knee flex. This has made my contact with the ball more solid and consistent. I now get the spin I need on each chip shot I hit, whether it is a bump-and-run or a flop shot.
Some of you may think golf is truly a simple game, and knee flex seems that easy. Well, it is. But sometimes, we forget the simple things.
I drove the ball very well last week and a few holes were fairly tight off the tee. My main key this week is keep a strong grip and make sure my left hand is fully on the club.
I guess I was letting it slip off a little and, when this happens, I lose control and can hit either a hook or fade. For the three days of the Founders Cup, I made sure my grip was on and let it rip.
I'm much more focused on the target this season instead of having a mechanical swing thought in my head. As a result, the ball is reaching my target 85 to 90 per cent of the time. When I did miss the green this past week, I got it up and down.
Getting up and down gave me a lot of confidence. I was lacking this confidence heading into the Founders, and now I feel so much better and trust what I have been working on.
Further analyzing my play, I feel that I need to spend more time on the putting green leading into the Kia Classic and our first major — the Kraft Nabisco. I probably could have saved five or six shots in the Founders by making some more putts. That puts me close to the lead.
The positive thing about this is I don't have much to work on and I'm very excited to get back out there this week for the Kia Classic.

I like pondering on things, people and ideas. People watching is a sport. I live in a deshelved organization. I like things in their place, however that place doesn't necessarily have to be apparent.
My logic process is proven different from most people's. I've been repeatedly told by different people when replying to answers I come "Out of the left field." I simply tell them the first logical thought to my mind. You'll normally find my answer is still valid to the question.
In life and with people I enjoy a little challenge. I'm an ok multi-tasker and thrive on having a responsibility placed on me.
I'm a guarded person and hold people at a distance. It does not take much effort for you to befriend me and make a connection. It does, however, take a little effort and time for me to befriend you and make a connection.
I've been told by many people I am very "Charismatic", which is odd since I think I'm a very quiet. But people find it's easy to be friends with me. If you can handle my level of sarcasm.
Also, my personality. More specifically my mix of intentional and unintentional sarcasm.
Movies, I dont really care about much. I watch them and see a lot but I don't really hold favorites. The Lion King and The World vs Scott Pilgrim are the exceptions. I do not like the Batman movies.
Hm, television.
Cartoon Network, Disney, Nick, Comedy Central, Syfy, SHO, Viacom in general.
Teen Wolf, Weeds, The Big C, Lost Girl, Cowboy Bebop, Spartacus, Dexter
I love food. Especially Italian. And pastries. And Bread! Love bread, like Honey Wheat's, yum!
Plain water. Not water. But plain water. If the water suddenly turned into lemonade and was no longer available, I wouldn't know what to do. I love just plain, clean water.
A car. My town is extremely spread out. Walking would take vasts amounts of time and the transit system is naught. Plus I just plain LOVE my car!
Oh~ Idk what else right now.
Sometimes I may be playing PS3 Or talking to people online. Eating somewhere in there, then Netflix or Hulu until bedtime.

I don't know about you, but I'm growing a bit tired of news stories about the daily status of the government's Affordable Care Act website. The website isn't the problem!
Sure, the fact that hundreds of millions of our tax dollars were spent to build a website that doesn't work is important -- and a glaring example of what happens when the government tries to do something that is better left to the private sector.
But as I have said in several media interviews recently, the website is just the tip of the iceberg.The REAL problem is the government takeover of healthcare that it represents.Let's not forget, the politicians justified President Obama's Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, on two basic claims: First, it would make healthcare more affordable, and second, it would make it more accessible.
As is now becoming clear, they lied. Many of us knew at the time that the math simply didn't add up, and more importantly, we knew that putting the government squarely in the middle of any marketplace will NOT reduce costs or improve services. But now, as the realities of cancelled insurance policies, higher premiums for new policies, and the growing list of private healthcare providers who are not going to participate set in, the rest of America is seeing the truth.
Even young people, who are key to making the President's economic redistribution plan work, are seeing through the scheme. Just this week, a poll conducted by Harvard University found that only 1 in 5 "Millennials" plan to sign up for insurance under the new law. No surprise there. With premiums inflated to subsidize older Americans, and a penalty that is less than the cost of coverage, why would anyone expect them to sign up?
When government makes promises it cannot keep, people get hurt. Just look at Detroit, where bankruptcy and the consequences thereof are now real. When all is said and done, the Affordable Care Act is nothing more than a massive promise that the government cannot keep -- and now tens of millions of Americans are seeing the cost of that promise first-hand.
What those Americans need to understand now is that there ARE ways to reduce healthcare costs and make it accessible to more people. Instead of government mandates, we need freedom from government interference. "Blow the lid off supply", as I frequently say, and the marketplace will provide better service at lower costs. And for those who truly need assistance, get the federal bureaucrats out of the way and allow the states to innovate and tailor programs for their specific needs. As a Governor, I found that Medicaid costs could be cut significantly without sacrificing care.
Through the Our America Initiative, we are highlighting these free market, innovative approaches. We have held events and even a Google Hangout to bring together health care experts and free market advocates to explore alternatives to Obamacare that will, in fact, reduce costs and increase care.
This is a conversation that MUST take place, but on a truly national scale. You can help us kick off that conversation by going to OurAmericaInitiative.com and making a contribution -- large or small -- that will allow us to reach those millions of Americans who are just now seeing the harsh reality of the government's healthcare takeover. As we reach out to those Americans with real alternatives, I am confident they will join us in demanding that the government stop making promises it can't keep.
The time is NOW.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Governor Gary Johnson
Honorary Chairman

Envy is a 2004 American comedy film directed by Barry Levinson. It stars Ben Stiller and Jack Black.
Tim Dingman (Ben Stiller) and Nick Vanderpark (Jack Black) are best friends, neighbors and co-workers at 3M. Nick is constantly coming up with crazy ideas to get rich quick, and when he invents Vapoorize, a spray that instantly removes dog feces, he actually succeeds. As Nick's wealth continues to grow, so does Tim's envy, as he had initially scoffed at the idea and squandered an opportunity to invest and become mega-rich himself. Nick is blissfully unaware of Tim's jealousy, and his generosity only serves to make Tim more envious of him. Meanwhile Nick's wife Natalie (Amy Poehler) decides to run for state senate but is continually plagued by questions about her husband's product.
After Tim's wife (Rachel Weisz) and children temporarily leave and he is fired from 3M, Tim's jealousy reaches new levels. In a bar he meets J-Man (Christopher Walken), a bizarre drifter, who lends a sympathetic ear and offers advice. After a drunken night out, Tim accidentally kills his neighbor's beloved horse, Corkey, and buries the horse in his abandoned swimming pool.
Nick offers an $50,000 reward for the return of his horse and together J-Man and Tim concoct a plan whereby J-Man would discover the horse and claim the reward, splitting the proceeds. However a series of unfortunate events, including the sequestering of Tim's family in J-Man's mountain cabin, leads to the horse's carcass being lost in a rain storm.
Nick reveals to Tim that he is going to Rome for the debut of Vapoorize there, and gives Tim the opportunity to now join him in a 50/50 partnership, which he accepts. J-Man finds out that Tim is now rich, and, feeling betrayed, tries to blackmail him. After confessing to his wife, now enjoying her rich lifestyle, Tim agrees to pay J-Man; however J-Man ups his demands and asks to be Tim's partner. Tim accidentally shoots him in the back with an arrow and J-Man, believing that Tim has tried to kill him, backs down in fear.
Tim eventually confesses all to Nick who forgives him for his jealousy and agrees to continue with the partnership; however at a press conference for Debbie's electoral campaign (where she promises to withdraw her candidacy if it's proven Vapoorize is harmful to the environment in any way), Corkey's body is seen floating down the nearby river, and the animal hospital's post-mortem discovers that the horse was not killed by the arrow as previously thought but actually poisoned by a by-product of Vapoorize, used by Tim to treat his garden after Corkey came to eat the apples off of his tree. The veterinarian informs the pair that she is obliged to inform the Environmental Protection Agency, and Vapoorize is immediately pulled from the market. Nick and Tim almost lose all their wealth and glory - until Tim comes up with an invention of his own: Pocket Flan, inspired by Nick and his family's love for the dessert. J-Man is shown in the audience of Tim and Nick's infomercial for Pocket Flan, apparently reconciled.

This was the first Castle Rock Entertainment film to be distributed outside of Warner Bros. Pictures since 1999, when Castle Rock switched distribution of their films to the studio. DreamWorks co-produced the film, and handled US distribution.
Envy earned nearly universally negative reviews and scored only a 7% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 112 reviews, including a 0% score among top critics.[3]
The film had been shot almost two years before its release, and was in danger of going straight-to-video in the US due to poor audience response during test screenings. It was only due to Jack Black's School of Rock (2003) that it finally got a theatrical release. Nevertheless, the film performed poorly in US theaters, so much that it was released straight-to-video in several European countries and Australia.[4]
At the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, during a press conference for Shark Tale (2004), both Black and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg publicly apologized for Envy.[4]

Three players who stood out in Notre Dame's 45-10 win at Air Force:
Tommy Rees, QB: What neck injury? The senior threw a career-best five touchdown passes, completing 17 of 22 passes for 284 yards after leaving last weekend's game early with a neck injury. Rees has played extremely well in the last two games, and he connected with a different player for each score, a Notre Dame first.
TJ Jones, WR: Seven catches, 104 yards and a touchdown. Just another day at the office for the senior captain, who again continued to impress after getting burdened with lofty preseason expectations from the staff.
Jaylon Smith/Danny Spond, LBs: The dog linebackers will share this honor. The freshman Smith tied for the team lead with eight tackles, including one for loss, and recovered a fumble that should have been a touchdown return if not for a blown call on the field. The senior Spond, meanwhile, earned captain and game-ball honors in a bittersweet homecoming after hemiplegic migraines forced him to retire and help as a coach this season. His impact can be seen through Smith, who aced his first test against the option.

text: Its been a whole 5 years since I released my 1st mixtape entitled: Reverse the Curse Volume 1. I pretty much came out of nowhere had many people in the city of Boston buzzing about my music. Unfortunately the life of an independent artist is difficult because all the funding is maintained yourself. I had to take a step back from music so that I could take care of my daughter. Since then I have a ridiculous amount of music recorded that has not been released and I will now give my friends and fans that stuck by me what they have been long awaited for. 1st up is Reverse the Curse 2: ELEVATORMUSIC. This is a 14 track cd unlike my 1st cd is ALL ORIGINAL MUSIC. Most of the production is done by a Boston producer named Scotty B. Its important in my opinion to make original songs because it shows your creative value as an artist. I am proud of the way the music came together its a dope sound not to mention I worked with some of the best talent in this state: Erin Daneele, Termanology, Millyz, BR, Easy Money, Chilla Jones, and Young Rich. I am very excited to hear the feed back on this cd especially since I have so much more great music on the way!

In the wring of unremarkable life, it is unproblematic to bury more or less the paltry belongings in life. Worried give or take a few work, we can topographic point the aesthetic of a sunset. Consumed by gainful bills, the miniscule development our offspring label all day may outdo unmarked.
It is normally the lilliputian things that manufacture energy a joy or a foundation of misery.

It will be these memories of suitable modern world that will preserve us finished the knotty modern world that all enthusiasm will know, from instance to circumstance.
The author's ability of subject matter is apparent on all leaf. His misadventures start off spell he was entreaty his wife-to-be, and occur ne'er to bring to an end. The author's inexplicit statement is that determination individual to part life's journeys will swerve our example on Earth into a mutual escapade. But uncovering human to allowance laughter at misadventures we brush along the way can revolve the tour into a joy.Post ads:

Showgirls is a 1995 American drama film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring former teen actress Elizabeth Berkley, Kyle MacLachlan, and Gina Gershon. The film centers around a street-smart drifter who ventures to Las Vegas and climbs the hierarchy from stripper to showgirl.
Peter Griffin is disappointed when he finds an airing of Showgirls on TBS in "Hell Comes to Quahog" because it is a basic cable channel.
In "The Blind Side", Stewie Griffin convinces Brian that he can help him fool Kate's parents during dinner when he is afraid that they'll see that he is really a dog. Stewie reminds Brian that he came up with the choreography to Showgirls. Stewie demonstrates a pole dance for Elizabeth Berkley, telling her that if she can be even twenty percent as good then they have a movie.

Ritchie moves from his contemporary London to a Victorian one—but takes the action and fisticuffs with him—for a movie that pleases both those who appreciate powers of deduction and those looking for a little adrenaline rush.
The Lovely Bones
DVD Release Date: April 20, Paramount Home Entertainment
No, Peter Jackson's film doesn't fully capture what makes Alice Sebold's novel so universally acclaimed. But the film is still worth a rental to see our real-life neighbor Stanley Tucci play the creepiest fictional neighbor ever—a performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination. And, for fans of Peter Jackson and his palette of special effects, the Blu-ray contains a 15-part production diary to show how he put it all together.
An Education
DVD Release Date: March 30, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
This story takes place in the 'burbs and follows a smart high-school student working towards a place at a prestigious university—a story many of us can relate to. The difference is that An Education takes place in England in the 1960s, and the main character decides she might want to forgo Oxford for a romance with an older man. (The horror!) Newcomer Carey Mulligan received sparkling praise—and an Academy Award nomination—for her turn as the disaffected youth.

The small Muslim community in the city of Sohag is in daily cooperation with the majority of Coptic Christians in this city. Therefore, we can say we have experienced countless interfaith encounters between Muslims and Christians. To highlight one particular experience, once we arranged Ramadani Iftar (feast) attended by Christian and Muslim friends, and after we had our food, we spontaneously started to talk about fasting in Islam and Christianity. It was great experience. The atmosphere was unique and we felt how close we are. We've had similar experiences since this and this has really urged us to enhance the spiritual relationship between Muslims and Christians in Sohag.

Title: Movie Magic
Summary: Max and Alec go undercover on a movie set, and things get…complicated. MA.
Spoilers: Takes place sometime after "Love Among The Runes," but before "Freak Nation."
Disclaimer: Dark Angel isn't mine, but I'm claiming Alec and I'm not giving him back! ;)
A/N: This started out as a little bunny and I figured, a few pages maybe, and I'd be done, but I should have known better, lol. This bunny grew by leaps and bounds, and considering the fact that acting and Dark Angel are two of my favorite things…I wound up with a lot to play with. :D
This fic is already complete, so Lord willing, updates won't be a problem. I'm hoping to post a new chapter every few days or so.
A/N2: This story was originally inspired by two prompts on RH last October. The first prompt, and the one you'll find in this chapter, was the Stocking Stuffer Prompt: Begin a story with this: '"I have to do what?" he/she asked, incredulously.'
As always, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the source of all inspiration, and without Him, this story would never have been finished. He's blessed me beyond measure, and I can never praise Him enough for all He's done.
I hope you enjoy it, and please let me know what you think!
My humble apologies to anyone who tried to read this first chapter and found it the same as the second one. I honestly have no idea what happened. I looked at both chapters after uploading the second, and they were both in the right place. Either FF.N did something really odd *gives the site a strange look* or somehow editing went wrong and it didn't show up before I signed off. Thank you to the reviewers who told me about the problem. :)
Movie Magic
"I have to do what?" Max asked incredulously.
Logan couldn't help wincing as her voice rang through the room. He'd known it wouldn't be easy convincing her to do this, but there wasn't any other choice.
"Max-" he started.
"No, Logan."
He opened his mouth to try again but she cut him off.
"Aw, come on, Maxie, I think it could be fun."
Max tuned around to glare at Alec, who was sitting on the couch watching the whole scene, an amused grin spread across his features. He didn't seem to be the least bit affected by Max's scathing look.
Logan tried not to be irritated. Like it or not, he needed Alec for this mission too, and Logan knew, no matter what, Alec would just tag along anyway. Wherever Max went, he would follow, the constant pain in -- and at -- Max's side.
"Well, fun or not," Logan felt obligated to add, drawing their attention once more, "five people have disappeared so far."
Max sighed, her shoulders slumping a little. "Okay. I'm listening."
She still didn't sound convinced, but at least she was willing to hear him out. Not wanting to take the chance that she would change her mind, Logan spun in his chair, tapping a few keys on his computer to bring up the information he wanted.
"Eddy Malone," Logan began, picking up his explanation from where he'd been interrupted. "He's a movie producer who has ties to the mob here in Seattle. Rumor has it, he's putting out hits on rival producers. A producer gets a job Eddy wants, he calls his mob friends, the hit goes down, that producer disappears, and Eddy swoops in to take over."
"If you know so much about him," Alec interjected, "why exactly do you need us again?"
"Well, right now, the rumors are just rumors. He's done a good job covering his tracks, and nobody wants to come forward against this guy. He's either paid them off, or they're too scared to talk."
"And so you want to snoop around the set, see if you can dig up some proof?"
Logan nodded.
"The only problem is that it's a closed set, nobody in or out, unless they're part of the cast or crew. Pretty strict security for a movie filming in the middle of nowhere."
"Which is where we'd come in," Max supplied.
Logan nodded again.
"Eddy fired the last two actors they'd picked for the leads, claiming 'they didn't have enough charisma.' Now they're scrambling to find replacements. Max, I know you don't like it, but someone with your movie-star looks-"
"Hey, what am I, chopped liver?" Alec interrupted.
Logan ignored him.
"Someone with your movie-star looks wouldn't have any problem being cast for a role."
Max looked at his computer and frowned, crossing her arms in front of her.
"Can't you just hack into their files?"
"All their records are on paper." Logan sighed, rubbing his eyes and readjusting his glasses. "You've done undercover work for me before, I don't see how this is any different."
"It's different because people know about us! White's out there right now, trying to hunt us down. Pretending to be actors, filming a movie, that's way too much exposure. If White caught on, he'd be all over it."
"Max, I know it's a risk, but the movie's being filmed in Canada, at a pretty remote location. I wouldn't be asking if I thought it would put you in danger."
Now it was Max's turn to sigh.
"I know that, Logan," she answered more quietly. She glanced away, biting her lip, and Logan could tell she was close to saying yes.
"Come on, Max," Alec coaxed, apparently sensing it too, "this'll be a lot easier than most of the other jobs we've pulled."
Max's eyes narrowed suspiciously as she turned around to look at Alec again.
"Since when are you all for going on Eyes Only missions?"
"Since I saw who's on the supporting-cast." He grinned, nodding at the computer screen listing the movie's stats. "Teresa Matthews. I've watched some of her movies. She's not very well known, but she's been in a few things. Good actress. Hot too."
This time both Max and Logan glared at him.
"What?" Alec asked innocently. "Can't a guy appreciate a beautiful member of the female species? From a distance, of course," he added at Max's glare. "Then again," he said quickly when her glare only intensified, "why would I want to appreciate anyone else when the most beautiful woman in the world is standing right next to me?"
Max rolled her eyes, but her scowl softened a little, and Logan tried once more to ignore the pang of jealousy he felt. Max had made her choice, and he had to accept that. Even if he didn't understand it.
Pushing those thoughts aside, Logan cleared his throat.
"So, will you do it?"
There was a long pause.
"Yeah," Max said finally. "Yeah. We'll do it."
Logan let out a breath, relieved.
"I'll get the IDs set up, and we can leave in a few days."
Max nodded, looking back to Alec again. "Can you square that with Normal?"
Alec shrugged. "Sure, I think I can come up with something. Hey, maybe I can tell him that I've been discovered and I'm starting my Hollywood career."
Max snorted. "Like he'd believe that."
"Why wouldn't he believe that? A lot of people have told me I should be in Hollywood," Alec defended.
"Right," Max deadpanned. "you'd be a perfect comedian. Nobody takes you seriously anyway."
"Nah, I've always thought of myself as more the action-hero type. You know, kicking down doors, beating bad guys, saving damsels in distress…"
Logan watched silently as the banter continued and they moved for the door, side by side, like always. They looked…comfortable. More comfortable than he and Max had ever been.
And that hurt, because he couldn't help but notice the way even Max had automatically said we when it came to her and Alec. Yes, he'd asked them both come, needed them both to pull it off, and Alec had obviously already been on-board…but it still stung.
He had a feeling it always would.
There'd been a reason Max hadn't wanted to go on this mission. A very good reason. Yeah, potential exposure was part of it -- after all, it wasn't just her. She had everybody else in TC to worry about too, on top of the evil cult who wanted them dead. But that wasn't why she'd said no. She'd said no because of the hours she knew they'd have to spend driving up to the set.
It wouldn't have been a problem before…before the virus, before she'd gotten careless and Logan had almost died, before she'd told Logan that she was with Alec. But that was then and this was now, and now was just as uncomfortable and tense as she'd expected.
The last few hours had been spent mostly in uneasy silence, Logan casting furtive glances in the review-mirror at her and Alec sitting in the back seat. Every look made Max feel more guilty, a guilt she tried to tell herself she didn't have a reason to feel.
She'd done the right thing.
She knew Logan, and unless he thought she was with someone else, he wouldn't have given up on her. He would've chased after her and promised to keep his distance until, eventually, she would have let her guard down again.
But she couldn't let that happen, because one touch was all it took. One touch and he'd be dead, and it'd be her fault. She didn't want to live with that anymore than she wanted Logan to get hurt.
She'd hurt him enough already.
Alec, at least, seemed to understand that, and though there'd been a few slipups -- like his comment about that actress, Max thought, annoyed -- he was actually handling it pretty well. He'd even been doing small stuff for her that a boyfriend would, like opening doors, and getting something for her to eat from the Kwick-E-Mart they'd stopped at earlier that morning. He'd tried to fill the silence in the car too at first, but either he'd run out of things to say -- which Max seriously doubted -- or he'd just given up.
She kind of wished he hadn't, though, because even Alec droning on and on was better than nothing. And if his voice just happened to calm her frazzled nerves a little, well…so what? It just meant that Manticore knew how to make 'em sound pretty, too.
Not that she'd thought about it before or anything.
Thankfully, the feeling of the car slowing down broke Max out of her reverie, and she turned away from the window to see the entrance to the set up ahead. Relieved that they'd finally made it, she sat up straighter and tried to look a little more enthused about being here than she actually was, just in case anyone was watching.
Logan rolled down the driver's side window, greeting the guard who had walked up.
"Gary Sherwood, from the Sherwood Acting Agency," Logan introduced himself. "I spoke to Mr. Malone a few days ago."
Max tuned out the rest, causally scanning the woods around them. She felt Alec shift next to her, probably doing the same.
Logan had been right about the tight security. There were four guards at the gate, and a few others lining the road. And those were just the ones at the main entrance. The IDs Logan had gotten for them seemed to work though, and after a few questions, they were waved through.
It didn't take them long to reach the small, dirt parking area not far from the gate, and soon they were out of the car and headed for the set itself. Logan stopped a crew person who was passing by, telling them who they were, and the guy pointed them to a man wearing an orange windbreaker and a baseball-cap.
Max let her eyes wander around the set as they walked.
According to Logan, the Pulse had really taken a toll on the film industry, and their once-multi-million dollar budgets had dropped to only a few thousand when most of Hollywood had moved to Europe.
It showed.
The few buildings on the set looked like they were made out of plywood covered in the cheapest paint you could find. The windows were plastic instead of glass, and fake flowers and a weathered bench made up a what she figured was supposed to be a garden. It looked worse than some of the shanty towns outside of Seattle.
Alec seemed just as unimpressed as she was, and snorted when they had to pause for a crew-guy who was carrying a giant, Styrofoam rock. They caught up to Logan a minute later, just as he reached the man in the orange windbreaker and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," Logan started, "I'm Gary Sherwood, from Sherwood Acting Agency. This is Melissa Reynolds and Brian Whitman, the two best actors my agency has. Like I told your producer over the phone, I think they might be a good fit for the leads."
"Skip Kowalski," the man told them, exchanging a quick handshake with Logan. "I'm the director." His gaze shifted to Max and Alec. "Hmm…" he said thoughtfully, looking them up and down, and moving to circle around them slowly. Max tried not to fidget.
"Yeah," Skip continued at last, "yeah, I think these two'll be perfect!"
"That's what I thought you'd say," Logan smiled, playing the part of their agent, "Now, about their contracts-"
"You can straighten out the details when they're cleared with Mr. Malone. He has final say-so. He's in his trailer, over there," Skip responded, pointing to the one trailer on set that didn't look like it was falling apart. The Mr. Malone wasn't lost on Max either, and she eyed the director suspiciously, wondering whether he fit into the paid-off or the too-scared-to-talk category.
"Actually, Skip," a voice came from behind them, "I got the call when they came through the gate."
Max turned around, a little annoyed that she hadn't heard somebody walk up, but on a set like this, people moved around so much that it was probably gonna be hard to keep track of anyone.
Malone -- it had to be Malone -- stood a few feet a way. He was tall, with cold, blue eyes and brown hair, and he was dressed just like the Mafia-wannabe he was, all the way down to the slicked-back ponytail and tailored suit. He would've fit in better on the set of The Godfather, but Max figured that no one had felt like pointing that out to him. Cheesy fashion sense or not, if Logan was right, this guy was more dangerous than he looked.
"I think you're right. Those two are perfect for the parts. Good catch, Kowalski."
Skip swallowed.
"Thanks, Mr. Malone."
"Get them caught up. I've gotta talk contracts with Mr. Sherwood, here."
The director nodded, and Max watched as Logan followed Malone to his trailer
"So," Skip asked a moment later, "have you two worked together before?"
Alec blinked, his eyes focused on something across the set.
"What?" he asked.
"Have you worked together before?" Skip repeated, waving a hand at Max.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, we have," Alec responded absently.
Max frowned at his answer, then turned to see just what exactly Alec found so distracting…and scowled. It wasn't a what it was a who, a tall woman with long, wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.
Max was about to snap him out of it when Skip caught his stare and looked up
"Oh, good, Teresa!" Skip called, motioning the woman over. "Teresa," he started when she reached them, "this is Melissa Reynolds and Brian Whitman. They'll be replacing Jake and Olivia for the leads, Megan and James." Skip turned back to Max and Alec. "Melissa, Brian, this is Teresa Matthews. She's playing Kristen, Megan's romantic rival."
"It's nice to meet you," Teresa said, offering her hand.
So this is the "hot" actress, huh? Max scoffed silently, remembering Alec's words from earlier and trying not to let her irritation show as she returned the gesture. "It's nice to meet you too," she said out loud, forcing her expression into something close to a smile.
Teresa turned to offer her hand to Alec next, but he beat her to it. "Oh, the pleasure's all mine," Alec murmured, taking her hand and pulling her towards him a little. Teresa blushed, but didn't seem in a hurry to move.
A growl started low in Max's throat, but she managed to stop it before anyone noticed. Alec was her pretend-boyfriend, wasn't he? He could at least have the decency to act like one. It was just lucky that Logan wasn't here to see this. But for some reason, that didn't make her feel any better.
Thankfully, before she could think too much about why that was, Skip clapped his hands together enthusiastically, and Alec released his hold on Teresa.
Took him long enough, Max thought darkly.
"Okay, people," Skip began loudly, drawing the attention of the rest of the crew. When the set finally quieted down, he continued. "We've got our new leads, but we're way behind schedule, and we've got a lot of work to do. Let's do a quick run-through, and then Melissa and Brian," he nodded at Max and Alec, "can have a couple hours to memorize their lines." He turned to look at Max appraisingly. "We're starting with the scene when you two meet. You're real antagonistic. Think you can manage that?"
Alec stifled a laugh, and Max had to resist the urge to smack him.
"I'll give it a shot," she managed through gritted teeth.
"Good," Skip nodded. "Amy!" he shouted after a beat, "Amy, we need some scripts over here!"
"Got it, Boss!" someone shouted back. A stressed-out looking woman appeared a moment later, papers in hand. "Here's the script for the scene you'll be shooting this afternoon. Read it, memorize it," she ordered, shoving the scripts at them.
Frowning, Max scanned first page, her eyes automatically coming to rest on the title written at the top:
Love Hurts.
"Perfect," she muttered.
It was gonna be a long week.
A/N: I know actors can't usually waltz onto sets and be automatically cast in lead roles, but this is post-Pulse Hollywood, lol. They're not nearly as picky, and Max and Alec just for their looks would be great finds. Especially Alec… ;)
Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think! The next chapter, should, Lord willing, be up in a few days.
Take care and God bless!

It's official: black lipstick is trending. Not just for goths anymore, moody pouts have been gaining momentum over the last two seasons, starting at Giles' fall show then blowing up the spring runways at Dior, Marc Jacobs and Fenty x Puma (to name a few). The trend showed no signs of slowing down at Toronto Fashion Week (TFW) with dramatic lipsticks turning heads at Ellie Mae, Stephan Caras and Rudsak.
[Where it all began: the dark lip look at Giles' Fall/Winter show]
But my favourite dark pout from TFW goes to Mackage, where a glossy black lip offset white eyebrows. The look was totally striking and convinced me that I need to try the black lip trend stat. The only thing stopping me? The black lipstick used at that show (Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds in Pitch Black) isn't launching until July. Since using that lipstick isn't an option, I'm moving forward with plan B: eyeliner.
[The black tar lip at Mackage]
I know it might sound a little scary, but I figure it's the next best thing to black lipstick, plus the super-precise point of the eyeliner will give me a smooth, crisp line. To get Mackage's tar lip, Grace Lee, lead makeup artist for Maybelline New York Canada, first lined and filled models' lips in with Eye Studio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil in Black, so I reached for that first. Then I swapped out Pitch Black for Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid in Possessed Plum. While this won't give me the same super-glossy finish, the liquid lipstick layered over top will give the black a bit of dimension. Plus, the demi-matte finish will have more staying power (glossy looks great for runway and photos but is hard to maintain IRL).
The result: I'm kind of digging going over to the dark side. While I won't be donning it everyday, I could definitely rock this on a night out. The whole look is surprisingly simple, with the eyeliner applying so smoothly, it made lining my lips really easy. The key to making the look more edgy chic and less Marilyn Manson? Pair it with a swipe of rosy blush and a coat of mascara and nothing else. Tip: I used a lip primer before the eyeliner to help it glide on a little smoother and to add a dose of hydration. So what do you think? Are you going to give this daring trend a try?
