Find 2019 Museum Internships in Missouri
Are you looking for a Museum internship in Missouri? Museum internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full time job offer, which means interning in Missouri can also serve as the foundation to landing a full time job in that city after graduation.
Museum summer internships in Missouri are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Simply gaining Museum experience is essential in order to provide value and creativity to the team.

Tax time may not be right around the corner, but the last quarter of the year is here, so it's time to get in gear to maximize the potential for tax deductions as the year draws to a close.
If you plan your finances carefully and take a look ahead at your income and the tax code for the 2013 year, you could position yourself for some savings come April 15. None of these tips are any substitute for a conversation with a reputable tax lawyer, but it may help make the most of your income and reduce what you owe. 1. Plan your charitable donations now.
If charitable giving is part of your tax plan, don't wait until the busy month of December to start making end-of-year contributions or at least making decisions about amounts to allocate and to whom. Put together a list now of reputable charities to which you would like to donate, and budget appropriately.
2. Increase retirement account contributions
Another way to lower your taxable income is to pay more into your retirement plan if you're not already maxed out. Ratchet up your 401(k) or IRA contributions to save on taxes owed and boost your retirement security at the same time. Most people under 50 years of age can contribute up to $17,500 (or $5,500 more over age 50) annually, so crunch the numbers and see if this is right for you.
3. Spend down flexible spending accounts
If you're in a pre-tax flexible spending program through your employer, check your balance and spend the amount down between now and the end of the year, if possible. Some eligible expenses may include eyewear, medical devices, and even co-payments and deductibles.
4. Sell off losing stocks
If you have stocks that are worth less than what you paid for them, and you don't want to hang onto them, you can sell them and take a capital loss on your tax return. While selling the stocks in order to be able to declare the loss on your tax return might only make up for a small percentage of the loss, you can claim up to $3,000 annually. Naturally, there is additional paperwork involved, but if you've been looking for a reason to let go of some losers, now could be a good time.
5. Go green
There is still time left to upgrade to energy-efficient appliances and reap up to a $500 tax credit. This credit was set to expire in 2011, but was extended through the end of this year. If you haven't taken the credit before, some items which may be eligible include water heaters, furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioners, boilers, and even building Insulation, windows, and a new roof. In a qualifying furnace, circulating fans installed may also count, as well as other renewable or alternative technologies such as biomass burners of stoves that use qualified biomass fuel.
Other credits have been extended as well. Credits on purchases of plug-in electric drive vehicles, combined heat and power systems, onsite renewable energy systems including ground-source heat pumps, and fuel cells and microturbines are scheduled to be extended until Dec. 31, 2016.
6. Have a plan and know the rules
This is not a comprehensive list of tax deductions or credits, so spend some time at IRS.gov to learn more about qualifying expenses and eligible purchases, contributions, and gifts. Do a quick run-through of your income and expected deductions to determine what you'll owe, and if there are sound ways to act now and reduce your tax burden.
In general, there is some good news about changes to the tax bracket structure this year. The standard deduction will increase slightly with inflation, and tax brackets have changed. Wolters-Kluwer, CCH announced last month that the changes are expected to result in an increase in savings for many. The firm said couples filing jointly with an income of around $100,000 could expect to pay around $145 less in taxes, while a anyone making around $50,000 and filing as single could expect a savings of about $72.

John Rhodes levels charges at Thom Tillis in US Senate race
The attacks against Republican U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis continued Friday when the GOP lawmaker he defeated in 2006 accused him of "bullying and intimidation" and pledged to file ethics complaints against him.
Former Republican Rep. John Rhodes plans to seek state probes of whether Tillis's support of campaign donors to the University of North Carolina Board of Governors violated ethics rules.
His broadside capped a week-long flurry of attacks on Tillis. Rival Greg Brannon called him "unelectable." Challenger Mark Harris raised "character" questions. And, citing news reports, critics questioned whether he exaggerated his college credentials.
"We are definitely getting into the homestretch and this is what I think everybody has been waiting for," said Michael Bitzer, a Catawba College political scientist. "We've got the mud and we've got the gloves off."
A new poll Friday for WRAL-TV showed Tillis 13 points ahead of his closest competitor in the eight-candidate field, with support from 28 percent of Republican primary voters. A candidate needs 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.
Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan told The Associated Press that next week her campaign will underscore the link between Tillis and the Koch brothers, the wealthy businessmen who fund Americans for Prosperity.
Americans for Prosperity has spent millions on TV ads critical of Hagan and the health care law known as Obamacare. Hagan also told the AP that she would welcome President Barack Obama to campaign with her.
Hagan's is one of a handful of races that could determine control of the Senate. This week analyst Charlie Cook moved the race from "lean Democratic" to "toss-up."
Underscoring the widespread interest in the GOP primary, campaign "trackers" outnumbered reporters at Rhodes' news conference. They included videographers from liberal and conservative super PACS as well as the Democratic Party.
Rhodes was a maverick lawmaker from north Mecklenburg County and one of the first who leveled charges of corruption at Democratic House Speaker Jim Black. Black eventually went to prison.
Along with the election by lawmakers of campaign donors to the UNC board, Rhodes' recalled that Tillis paid severance pay to two aides who resigned after sex scandals. He alleged what he called bullying behavior, including a paintball incident years ago in Cornelius.
Hoisting a canister of green paintballs, Rhodes described an area farmer's 2005 complaint that Tillis shot his barn with paintballs. Rhodes included a letter the man sent Tillis, along with a $200 clean-up bill.
Responding to the farmer in a letter, Tillis acknowledged being a regular paint-baller but denied having shot at the man's barn.
Tillis spokesman Jordan Shaw called Rhodes' charges "sour grapes."
"The debate between Thom Tillis and John Rhodes was decided 8 years ago by a 2-1 margin of voters in that district in favor of Thom Tillis," Shaw said in a statement. "It's disappointing that Mr. Rhodes would rather talk about sour grapes than uniting together to beat (Democratic U.S. Sen.) Kay Hagan."
Rhodes urged Tillis to drop out of the Senate race and resign as speaker. He asked voters to set up a toll-free hotline called, "Thom Tillis Stop Bullying North Carolina Citizens Hotline."
Gary Robertson of the Associated Press contributed.

Investor cheated in land deal, Tanzanian villagers laments
In Tanzania, more than 1,790 residents of Lutukira village, Mkongotema ward, in Songea rural district, Ruvuma Region have accused an investor of acquiring 50,000 hectares of fertile land in their village without following proper procedures.
They also accuse Songea district council for facilitating a controversial land deal and protecting Lutukira Mixed Farm Ltd for their own interests and want the government to intervene. The investor holds a 99-year lease on the land.
In an interview with The Guardian, the villagers and their leaders alleged that the whole process of acquiring the land was influenced by both the investor and the district authorities, adding that even the terms in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) were deliberately designed to favour the investor at the expense of the poor villagers.
One of the villagers Eligius Danda alleged that usually the MoU and the contracts are signed before the project kicks off, but surprisingly, the MoU was actually signed more than six months after the project had kicked off.
Danda who is also a senior lecturer of the Moshi University College of Co-operatives and Business Studies (MUCCoBS), further alleged that considering shortage of land and the fast growing population, the villagers had agreed to give the investor 25,000 hectares, but the investor reportedly backed by the district authorities pressed for allocation of 50,000 hectares.
"During the second meeting chaired by the divisional secretary, the villagers conducted an opinion poll with just a few backing the allocation of 50,000 hectares. Many instead proposed that the investor be allocated 25,000 hectares. But to our surprise, the district commissioner ignored our proposals, saying we must give the investor 50,000 hectares," he said.
Isaack Geho, also a villager claimed that the investor used money to corrupt both district government officials and the villagers in order to get the land.
"He gave each participant 2,000 shillings, something which could be translated as bribery because even the elderly of up to 80 years and children who had never attended meetings for years were in attendance," he said.
The village Executive Officer Kwinibert Muhoro claimed that the tactics used by the investor are what actually raised doubts among the villagers.
"We agreed that the investor should supply water from Lutukira River, but he instead decided to dig water well. The villagers wanted him to supply electricity, but he later on said he could not. Employment was mentioned in general terms and not specific. We wanted him to build a school and a hospital, but he opted for rehabilitation, while no specific number of jobs was mentioned in the MoU," he said.
When contacted for comment, both the investor and the district authorities dismissed the allegations as baseless, saying the land deal followed all legal process and procedures including involvement of the villagers and the village council through meetings.
Jabiri Kilahama who is the Director of Lutukira Mixed Farm Ltd and his legal officer Dickson Ndunguru said the allegations were politically motivated. He said there were two conflicting groups, one backing the former village chairman while the second supported the current village chairman, each aspiring to win voters for the next elections season.
"Apart from following all the procedures, corporate social responsibilities were well explained to the villagers. We had meetings that involved the villagers. Environmental Impact Assessment was carried out with their participation and NEMC. We conducted land use plan for the investment area and there was nothing like dishing money to win the villagers."
"Lutukira Mixed Farm and Montara Continental of Seychelles have formed a management company called Montara Land Company Ltd to implement the project but it is Lutukira Mixed Farm Ltd that has ownership of the land," he said.
For his part, the District Commissioner Thomas Ole Sabaya said that the mandate to give an investor land was vested in the villagers themselves and not the district.
"I have no mandate to issue the village land. The investor acquired land in 1991; I was not in Songea by then. He stayed for many years without a title deed, when he got it and came to me, I directed him to go and agree with the villagers. So it is the villagers who gave him the land, not me," he said.
For his part, Advocate Joseph Chiombola of Hakiardhi scoffed at the terms in the MoU saying there were many flaws. For example, the parties were not well defined, he pointed out.
He observed that the MoU seemed to have three parties, Lutukira Mixed Farm Ltd, Montara Continental of Seychelles and Montara Land Company which confused the villagers as they don't know who actually they are dealing with.
"The promises by the investor are too general. For example, the investor says he will provide a tractor without specifying the model. It could be a power tiller or an old tractor," he pointed out.
He also questioned the dispute mechanism clause, where the MoU says in case of any dispute the parties would not resort to a court of law, saying this left a lot to be desired, putting the villagers in a disadvantaged position.

The following is Publisher Larry Tobin's Ups-n-Downs column which appears in the Sept. 19, 2006, Tomahawk Leader:
A major story in USA Today last week (page 3) was headlined: "This was the hottest summer since 1936, report says."
The story goes on to say…That's likely the result of long-term warming trends and unusual weather patterns that trapped hot air over much of the country this summer, said Jay Lawrimore, chief of the data center's Climate Monitoring Branch. "It's not unprecedented, but the trend is definitely toward warmer weather," he said.
Note the key phrase, "it's not unprecedented." No one has yet attempted to explain what caused the record high temperatures in 1936. That year, by the way, was the hottest since records of temperatures were recorded annually beginning in 1895.
The newspaper item also contained a statistical column listing the 10 warmest years on record. It's amazing to me that five of the 10 warmest years – HALF – were recorded within the decade of the 1930s. If ever there was a trend that might indicate a change in weather patterns, I would think that would be it. Instead, we see five warm years in the last 18 – scattered between 1988 and 2006 – and it's suddenly Global Warming.
What happened during those 50-70 years in between the record trends? Remember the 60 degrees below zero that we had about 10 years or so ago?
The warm weather could continue this winter in northern and western USA because El Nino has returned according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. El Nino, a Pacific Ocean warming pattern that alters weather systems worldwide, will also make the Gulf Coast and Florida wetter than normal this winter and the Ohio Valley and Pacific Northwest drier.
The weak El Nino also helps explain why this year's Atlantic hurricane season has been less severe than expected, the organization notes.
Tell me something. When was the last time you saw a weather forecast for five days in advance that was accurate? Half the time they can't even tell you what the weather will be this afternoon with any degree of certainty. Picking trends for various parts of the country months in advance would seem pretty risky if I were a weatherman.
I'm sure that human activities do have an impact on the environment. Everything does. I've read of reports that cow flatulence creates methane problems in the atmosphere. Are these things we should be worried about? Concerned, yes. At least enough to keep working to improve things, just as we strive to improve highway safety, find a cure for cancer and the common cold, and solve world hunger.
But the sky is not falling, folks!
The whole thing reminds me of a story that appeared in a New York City newspaper in the early 1890s. It said that, at that current rate, the city would be six feet deep in horse manure by the turn of the century.
While there are some who might say that prediction came true (facetiously, of course), the invention of automobiles and electric streetcars changed the future in more ways than outmoded methods of transportation. Solving one problem, you might say, invented another.
Throughout history there have been documented floods, storms, earthquakes, droughts, and other catastrophes. I strongly suspect more will continue to occur. But, while temporary global warming made life agreeable for dinosaurs and an Ice Age created disaster for them, I don't think any kind of man-made global warming is going to cause the world to end.
The sky is not falling...

Miami Heat
Philadelphia 76ers cool down Miami Heat, surprise champs
Maybe the Heat should rethink its strategy of resting Dwyane Wade against inferior competition.
With Wade on the bench in the Heat's second game of the season, the defending back-to-back champions lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 114-110 on Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center in what might turn out to be one of the strangest games of the season.
It was the season opener for the Sixers, who are expected to be one of the worst teams in the NBA, but — for one night at least — Philadelphia's young players lit fire to that narrative and tossed it in a dumpster.
"We didn't execute well in the fourth quarter and they did, and they got the crowd into the game and for a young team like that, that's how you play with fire," said Heat reserve forward Shane Battier, who went 1 of 8 from the field and 0 of 7 from three-point range off the bench.
The Heat (1-1) entered the game on the heels of an emotional victory against the Bulls on Tuesday and the Sixers (1-0), according to many, were designed this offseason to be the worst team in the NBA.
Among other moves, the team traded away their best player, Jrue Holiday, for draft pick Nerlens Noel, who might not play this season. The goal of this strange and counterintuitive strategy, so the theory went, was to lose as many games as possible in order to have the best odds of drafting teenage phenom Andrew Wiggins.
To sell this plan to the public, Philadelphia's slogan for the season is, officially, "Together We Build."
So, with all that juicy backstory heading into their opener, the Sixers then went and made their first 11 shots of the game and led the back-to-back champions 26-4 in the first quarter.
The Heat eventually settled down, scored 45 points in the third quarter. Then, the Heat blew a nine-point fourth-quarter lead. Miami was 15-1 on the second night of back-to-backs in the 2012-13 season.
"We earned this," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We came to play this game tonight. We did not come to compete and do the necessary things particularly from an effort, concentration standpoint to win the game and they outplayed us."
The Heat took an eight-point lead with 4:55 left in the game on an alley-oop from Mario Chalmers to LeBron James, but Miami then went 0 of 10 from the field until 10 seconds remained in the game.
The Sixers outscored the Heat 29-16 in the fourth quarter. It was the Heat's first loss to the Sixers in 16 games and Philadelphia's first regular-season victory against the Heat since James signed in 2010.
And, in a lot of ways, the offense regressed to Heat circa 2010 in the final five minutes. James forced one bad shot after another down the stretch and went 1 of 6 from the field in the fourth quarter. When he did make the smart pass, Battier missed a three-pointer in the corner with Miami trailing 110-108 with 27.5 seconds to play.
"They jumped on us, and we weren't ready for it," James said. "It was a game of runs and they took advantage of all our faults tonight a lot shots and mistakes in the fourth, including myself."
Wade missed the game as a precaution and Roger Mason Jr. started his first game with the Heat, which promptly fell behind 15-0 in the first five minutes with Mason on the floor. Spoelstra said not to draw any parallels between his team's poor start and Wade's inactivity.
"That didn't affect any of the rhythm," Spoelstra said. "It didn't have anything to do with that."
The Heat turned the ball over 19 times and went 16 of 40 from three-point range. James led the Heat with 25 points and went 9 of 17 from the field. He was 4 of 7 from three-point range and had 13 assists. Chris Bosh had 22 points, going 8 of 13 from the field and 2 of 3 from three-point range. He also had 10 rebounds.
Bosh counterpart, Sixers big man Spencer Hawes, scored 24 points and went 10 of 14 from the field. Evan Turner led the Sixers with 26 points and five assists and rookie Michael Carter-Williams had 22 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and nine steals in his professional debut. Williams' nine steals set an NBA record for steals in a first game.
• The Heat missed its first seven field goals of the game.
• Philadelphia missed its first 11 field goals then missed 11 straight consecutive field goals from 1:10 in the first quarter to 6:10 in the second quarter.
• The 45 points by the Heat in the third quarter set a court record.
After trailing throughout the first half, the Heat took the lead, 60-59, with 8:33 left in the third quarter when Udonis Haslem found room inside against Hawes for a layup. Bosh stepped into a three-pointer on the next possession and James followed with a three-pointer of his own to give the Heat a 66-62 lead with 7:47 left in the period.
The Heat shot 72.7 percent from field (16 of 22) in the third quarter and was 10 of 13 from three-point range in the period. Ray Allen, who went 4 of 4 from distance in the period, made three three-pointers in the final 40 seconds of quarter, including a 48-footer at the buzzer. Allen finished the game with 19 points off the bench.
Despite the offensive surge, the Heat couldn't hold off the Sixers in the final 12 minutes.
"We went into the fourth quarter up nine points and scored 45 points in the third quarter, that's usually a game that we win," Haslem said. "We go back and look at the film and see what happened in the fourth and breakdowns and we'll correct. It's still the second game of the year and we still have a lot of room for improvement on both ends of the floor."

Name: Lady Divijah XarRace: Frost Elf WitchRole: Ice Witch; Snow QueenAge: 2,000 + (You lose count when you have eternity to live....)Appearance: The woman is stunning to the eye; her height is one that stands at 5'10", tall for a woman but not overly so. She has a slender body, a lean figure that stretches from her slender ankles, and trails up her rounded thighs, hips, taut abdomen, modest breasts, a long neck, and cheekbones that give her face a defined look that are surrounded by a thick mane of white locks. Perfection? Almost; but it isn't her physical appearance that makes her deadly. When she is calm, her eyes are the deep color of chocolate. But when her anger is flared, she feels threatened, or is in the heat of battle, they crystallize into an icy hot blue. Her skin is cool to the touch and very pale, and her lips are pallid blue as if frozen.Background: Lady Divijah, back in the olden world, was a simple elven woman of noble birth. Back when the harmonious Elves ruled Eversnow, the land was gorgeous in its environment, and rich in its culture and language, with unity was between every race of elves. The Orcs had been fended off from the borders, and humans could roam through Eversnow with little fear of anything corrupt or evil befalling them.The young Divijah was the youngest born of 14 children, an often overlooked child because she killed her mother during her birth, ripping the woman in half as she was brought into the world. A curse was placed upon her, a rejection from her father and sisters, and thought to be condemned by the Goddess of Light for killing one of her kind, a darkness crept into her heart with the knowledge that she was born a murderer, had taken away the countess her father loved more dearly than life, and the love incarnate for her sisters.This hatred for herself, for her family, for the Gods that brought her into the world, unlocked something deep inside her frosted heart, a power that was always meant to be kept in the darkness. Soon after it came to the light that her mother actually cheated on her father with a dark fey, the mysterious man's genes, combined with her immortality and deep cruelty that had been wound inside her heart for many years, Divijah came into knowledge of extreme power that she wielded inside her, and she slowly....slowly took revenge on the emotional pain upon her own family, her own allies, every death she did nailing another sickle of ice deep into her heart, objurgating her from any spiritual deliverance from the Goddess. Finally, she approached the height of power itself, corrupting the King at the time with her power and her body, taking away a member of his family to ensure his loyalty, and cursing the land into an eternal winter, hardening the ground, preventing it to produce, erasing the borders, allowing orcs to roam free, freezing the rivers and killing lifestock."Many gauge their success on the amount of friends they have; I gauge mine on the amount of enemies. I am -very- successful." ~Lady Divijah, during the 27th rule year of King Japheth IIMillennials passed, her power growing with her increased abhorrence for life, her greed for power, her vanity, and her desire for being worshiped and feared. She loved it. Loved the death, loved the cruelty, loved the pain. Their fear, anxiety, and pain only increased her powers, her influence. Kings rise and fall, and she has feasted on their illustrative flesh, consuming them in their own desires and needs, holding her influence over them so as to continue her rule over Eversnow."No, no, my sweet. Do not cry. It only makes me want to hurt you more." ~Lady Divijah to Caira, captured hostage sister of Prince Holon, heir to throne.Powers: These powers are originally from strong genes from her Fey Father whom her adulteress mother slept with, becoming pregnant with his child. Over time, these powers became more defined with her growing hatred and frozen soul, making her stronger and stronger in the process. A particular power she has, is the ability to control water, dropping the temperature suddenly into sub-freezing temperatures and using it as a weapon. This can range from making an actual spear, to actually freezing the internal organs and water in a living creature, and freezing him/her from the inside out into an ice sculpture. Her domain is littered with such ornaments of ones who have tried to "triumph" over her and are now decorations in her dark cave.As powerful as this is, it is very exhausting to maintain, so she cannot do this all day. Whenever she is under attack, though, she can use the temperature in the air, crystallize it into physical matter, and make weapons from it, or create barricades.The Golgothan"There is nothing more sinfully delicious than to scream to the rafters above in agony, while riding a demon below in pleasure." ~Lady Divijah, when asked about her only living son.The Golgothan was an unforeseen beast that almost killed her whilst carrying him after an extremely violent escapade with an Orc Cheif named Shum Gro-Yarug. Like a black widow, The White Queen killed him after he served his purpose when he had successfully reached her frigid domain, thus earning her respect for a brief moment. His seed, combined with her womb, crafted an immortal half-orc beast named Dragor-Dumag, that she keeps chained in a pit to further exact fear on any of her prisoners. A thick chain links him to the pit as he is an immense creature. He gained none of his mother's powers but all of his father's strength and veracity. To anyone at first, he seems to be just a pet for the Ice Witch, but upon further look, it can be seen that they share the same eyes.Dragor-Dumag's hands alone could crush the skull of any human, he feeds of the flesh his mother feeds him on a daily basis, and he is extremely feral, only answering to the Witch as she wields a power over him through their shared blood. He stands at a massive 9'7" height, and weighs more than a thick boulder._________________________________________________________Yeah so I assumed A LOT in this bio, (historical names, events, the NPC half-beast that is her son, etc)) but this is not my final draft and so I can definitely change anything in it. Just let me know!!
Thanks for the general heads up, Dark. n.n
Name: Jhaqair "Jhaq" MuulainAppearance: Jhaqair is a tall man standing six feet tall,and used to have too much padding on his thin frame. He has only recently began venturing out of The School, and by the time he has come to the north, he has managed to shed many of the excess pounds he used to pack on. His skin is darkly olive coloured due to the climate of his homeland, though it has paled somewhat due to his time in the colder darker north. His face is clean shaven, and his shoulder length dark hair is pulled back from his face and secured with a small band of gold.Biography: Jhaqair was born the third son of the second wife of Tamur of Qanth. He grew up among twenty two other brothers and sisters, competing viciously for their both the favour of their father and the position of favoured heir. Jhaq was one of the lucky ones, and by the time he left for The School at fourteen, only twelve of his siblings were left alive. At The School Jhaq studied both the administrative and warfare parts of the brutal curriculum, which made the competition amongst his siblings seem tame in comparison. Again, Jhaq was one of the lucky ones, surviving his first two years, before his talent manifested itself and he was moved to the Mage's Wing of The School. For five long years Jhaq studied among the best mages of the southern kingdoms. His proficiency was in the destructive forms of magic, and he swiftly became one of the best manipulators of fire in the Wing. Unfortunately, aside from learning to heal his burns, Jhaq couldn't seem to master the rest of the healing arts, or anything that had nothing to do with flames.After he had learned as much as he could from The School, Jhaq left to begin wandering. He found occasional employ in the service of the petty warlords and generals of his homelands. However these small jobs never lasted long and Jhaq was constantly short of money. His poor luck continued when he was found in a compromising situation with one warlord's daughter. Finding himself unwelcome in the majority of his homeland, and being actively hunted through most of it, he found he had no choice but to leave.He has only just recently arrived in the North, still unsure of what to do now that he is here, knowing only that he seems to be beyond the reach of Southern bounty hunter. Abilities: Jhaq has a mastery of fire manipulation, able to hurl fireballs or make a delicate flame dance to music with equal ease. However, aside from being able to heal his own burns, he isn't able to do much else magically. He also has some knowledge of how to use a sword, though he is not even close to an expert, and is middling at best. Due to his time spent wandering, he is also skilled at living off the land, scrounging what he needs and stealing what he can.
Not quite sure how I feel about her yet. I'm in a bit of a silly mood today so the CS reads as very silly, despite my being serious =/ Name: Dax, little else is known Age: 32Race: Humae (Derogatory term for Human and Fae)Role: Unlikely Hero….for now. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral; Dax is not particularly evil, though she has done evil things. She is not inherently good, though she has done good things. She does whatever benefits her the most, but often favors the underdog when it comes time to choose an alignment. Appearance: Standing at 5'8''; 5'11 3/4'' in her fabulous boots, her height can be imposing to some. Though there is no question that she is female, a long torso with a slender waist, curvy hips and an impressive bust quickly identifies her as such. Her features are angular and narrow, a heart shaped face, with a slender nose and lush, full lips. Her hair is platinum in color, bleached by many days of harsh sunlight, her skin lightly bronzed yet still retaining a milkiness. She doesn't have any issue with dressing provocatively, so as long as it asserts her status as Captain- and any man who mistakes her garb for an invitation is likely to lose a hand. Strengths & Abilities: +Trickster; It's simply in her nature to be cunning. Her Fae mother was a trickster and pickpocket, allowing her the skills of a near silent step, and a natural affinity for guile and deceit. +Invisibility+ While Dax cannot literally go invisible, she possesses the ability to allow her presence to go unnoticed for a short time. A person perhaps will see her, and simply forget that she is there, allowing her access to many- rather inaccessible places. This requires intense concentration however, and cannot be sustained for long periods of time and if she becomes distracted her presence is slowly acknowledged. +Tactician; Dax is extremely intelligent and a tactical thinker. She is always considering viable options whether it be for war, assault, partnerships, relationships; life favors the prepared and she prefers to remain one step ahead. Well-learned in geography, and studying the tactics of the greats she makes an excellent warlord, particularly in seafaring ventures. +Speed; Another gift bestowed upon her by her mother. She possesses better than average speed, is light on her feet and graceful. +Swordplay; Under the tutelage of her father and his crew for many years, she has become well versed in various styles of swordplay and hand to hand combat. +Plundering, Pillaging, Captaining- yo, ho. +Flora/Poisons; Extensive knowledge of plant life, crafting and using poisons- alternatively, she is knowledgeable of antidotes, and remedies and first aid. Weaknesses: -Pride; It is hard for Dax to admit when she is wrong. It is not unheard of for her to refuse to accept help even when she is in dire need of it. This has led her into rather unsavory situations.-Magic; Despite having some magical abilities endowed to her by her mother, Dax cannot stand magic. She is fearful of it and respects the power it holds. -Strength; she is stronger than the average woman due to endless duties that come with keeping a ship running, but she is still a woman and easily overpowered if she loses the advantage of speed and endurance. -Temper; She is particularly angered when people bring up her heritage, she is not ashamed of being a Fae, but is fearful of losing face in front of her crew- this often leads her to extreme measures. -Cillian; don't bring him up. Ever. History: Dax grew up primarily in Batrouge, more commonly referred to as the Pirate's Den, and aboard The Devil's Pride. She is as close to royalty as one could get in Batrouge with her father being the infamous Captain Calles. A pirate with a fierce reputation and a fiercer hand for punishment. All that had changed when he had captured Syleena, her mother, a Fae from Corinth. She warmed his heart, he experienced love and out of that love came Dax. Tragically, Dax never knew her mother- who died during childbirth and though evident that her father would have preferred a son- there was something about her cerulean eyes that reminded him of Syleena. She was a Daddy's girl- a reputation she had to shake as she grew older. Dax was never in want of anything, in fact, she had more than she could ask for. While other girls her age were learning how to hold a fork properly, Dax was taught the ways of a pirate amidst the Seas of Dorne. Seafaring, plundering, pillaging and swordplay and they always had a home to come back to. She was respected well enough, though it was not uncommon for her to get in skirmishes with boys her age in attempts to assert herself. By the time she'd reached her twenties, Calles thought it was about time to retire. After spending years as his first mate, she was given the honor to Captain The Devil's Pride. Things were good for several years, her father had all but disappeared in his retirement and even she didn't know his location and she had made a solid name for herself as vicious and calculating… until she met Cillian. He was handsome, charismatic, roguish- trouble. She allowed him onto her ship as first mate, into her heart and into her bed, and before she knew it she was mutinied against, marooned on an island and left to die. Depending on who you ask, there's talk of using bamboo to create a raft, using coconuts as a flotation device and creating a sail out of her clothes- or she was picked up by a passing vessel- the details get a bit muddled, nevertheless, Dax was not one to give up. She spent the next 5 years enacting her plan for revenge, just as Ivan was coming under the influence of the Ice Witch. Many had assumed her dead, she used this to her advantage, refusing to seek out her father for council. She stole back her ship by tricking Cillian, marooned him on an island as punishment and had all of her former crew flayed alive, left to hang for three days amongst the mast, and then thrown to the sea as a warning for all who ever dared to mutiny against her again. He still remains her greatest embarrassment, it's a sensitive subject though her lust for blood afterwards has not gone unnoticed- she renamed her vessel to The Devil's Vengeance. As Ivan's influences began to spread, Batrouge was targeted by his armies for resources. It was surreal to Dax to be on the receiving end of pillaging and it made the matter of his rise personal. She hadn't cared much about the goings on of the mainland, she could care less who was in power- as a pirate, they made their own rules and lived by their own law and code of ethics. Her home had been burned to the ground, the ice was spreading to the Seas of Dorne and their way of life had begun to die out. The seas too vicious to sail, their home reduced to smolder and ash, Dax seeks one thing- vengeance.
And from that sea and into the snowy wastes, Dax emerges, to the homeland of he that laid siege and fire to her home. She may be out of place without a ship here, but the setting can be changed as the players decide to migrate where they will. In fact, we can start where you want and I'll fill your time with NPC RP if you don't find the thus-far described settings appealing. One thing, though. I have to ask that the name of Dorne be changed. All I can think about is the sun-soaked southern sands of Westeros! Would you accept "Osirion"?
I wouldn't mind being part of the rebels, though I'm not quite sure how Jhaqair would end up joining them. Maybe he figures they'll be a good place to hide from the bounty hunters he is sure will be following him. Assuming I'm approved of course.
Lots of approvals! I can feel the snowy wilderness beckoning. Really looking forward to starting!Our little rebel band may be up to four. Now all we need are a dwarf and a few hobbits, and we'll have ourselves a fellowship.
Just theorycrafting here: if the Orc character were male, I wouldn't be surprised to see some rivalry between him and the Ice King, not exactly vying for the Queen's affection, but perhaps her favor. Sort of a "why do you need him when you have me" type of thing, or just trying to prove his superiority over the Ice King. Because boys being boys.As a female character? I'm not sure that dynamic would be there - not as much testosterone involved - though it's still possible. After all, if she's just taking his orders, is she really "King" of her people? Would they respect her if they thought she was just handing over her power to someone else?Just something to think about.(No, I'm totally not just planting intrigue and starting trouble in advance of my courtier planting intrigue and starting trouble. Why do you ask?)
All around a good character, with a well written description. I am nervous about the fact that he is both a competant swordsman/horseman and has roguish leanings. In my opinion, at an early stage and in the company of other players, these things should not be joined together, so as to prevent an overpowered character and to reduce the usefulness of other characters. You're taking a fighter and a rogue slot in that sense. To make up for the double focus, I can give you an average chance at success for actions related to both skill sets to begin. If you prefer to specialize in one direction or another over time, or to start, I can give you advantages in roguish talents or fighter/strength talents. You can role-play however you wish, of course, but I want to reduce over-powered characters.Either way, your character is a great addition and I've added him to the first post as included in the game.
I was being more specific in interactions, I should have specified! I was wondering how we should start with the dynamics between Grimna and Agnost. I'm assuming they've known eachother for a time, and sort of fleshed out the bones of their relationship. Developing that relationship would be fantastic, and I by no means want to stick to a single dynamic between the two, but maybe hashing out a small bit of history on the two might be in order. Now Shjade brings up an interesting point. Grimna is for all intents and purposes, an Orc. Raised by, trained by, lived with and bled with, she has been with them through a lot, and is also never afraid to reaffirm her position with a ruthless murder. Orcs are cowardly, and usually believe in the hierarchy of strength, but maybe they would be upset with just being ordered around by an outsider. Perhaps Agnost and Grimna have to maintain a position appearing as equals, or only meet in secret, and the most privacy. Considering Grimna is also distinctly not an orc, and also a woman, how might her diplomacy with other leaders be carried out? Also, would you like for me to write a paragraph of description for Grimna's Appearance? I can't help but notice I glazed over it!
I have to admit, Vaulera's last post is tempting me to write some kind of short-form "day in the life" for Nikita just for setting/getting to know the character purposes in Volcan. But I'm often tempted to do extra backstoryish stuff. xD
So, when are we starting?
Ontan: that works well.
Hey guys! I was wondering if there were any heroes who could be travelling with the sacrifices? Or a group of people could eventually infiltrate the caravan as a way to enter the Ice Queen's domain undetected.

The program will take a look at the development work being put into this Pikachu-centric game, which is the first time the public will be privy to the process of creating a Pokemon game.
The sneak peek shows snippets of Pikachu under a magnifying glass on a virtual 3DS and a bit of motion capture footage of Pikachu being given facial expressions. It's pretty terrifying.

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez reluctant to speculate on future of Frank Lampard
Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez has offered no guarantees that Frank Lampard will see out the season at Stamford Bridge.
Last Updated: 19/12/12 11:07am
The experienced midfielder has already revealed that no discussions have been held regarding an extension to his current contract with the Premier League club, which is due to expire in the summer.
Benitez has also hinted that Lampard's future lies away from west London, with Chelsea prepared to part with senior stars and turn one eye to the future.
The Spaniard has offered no indication that the Blues will be altering that stance any time soon, with the likes of Queens Park Rangers, Monaco and LA Galaxy strongly linked with the 34-year-old as a result.
It has even been suggested that Lampard could head for the exits in January and Benitez, while full of praise for the England international's dedication to the cause, has refused to rule out a winter deal.
Asked if Lampard could be on the move in the New Year, Benitez said: "The future of players is always the same. I can't say too much.
"He is fully committed to every training session and every game.
"He is an important player for us but I can't say too much about how he feels (regarding his future). I'm happy with his attitude."

"No Easy Day," the controversial book by a former U.S. Navy SEAL about the commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden, has stormed to the top of U.S. book sales on online retailer Amazon.com.
The unauthorized book, which has caused the U.S. Government to threaten legal action on the grounds of non-disclosure of government secrets, is already out-selling the hugely popular Fifty Shades erotica book series.
The hardcover edition of "No Easy Day" officially becomes available in the United States on Tuesday, September 4. Amazon.com's best-seller list includes pre-orders.
"No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden," is written by a Navy SEAL operative under the pseudonym Mark Owen.
His real name, Matt Bissonnette, was revealed shortly after news broke that the first-hand account of the daring operation on the al Qaeda leader's compound in Pakistan last year was to be published. Reuters obtained an advance copy of the book from the publisher, Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group USA.
The Pentagon has threatened legal action against Bissonnette for alleged violation of non-disclosure agreements because the manuscript was not submitted for a pre-publication security review. Bissonnette's attorney responded that the subject matter of his book was not covered by non-disclosure agreements he has signed.
Bissonnette wrote that he decided to do the book because details of the raid that were being leaked by others in government were wrong.
The controversy around "No Easy Day" will be further amplified by a follow-up e-book called "No Easy Op" co-authored by unidentified former Special Operations members from a group called Special Operations Forces Situation Report, or SOFREP. The book claims to provide analysis of the politics behind "No Easy Day" and to provide new insider information that has not previously been provided to the media.

Took under 37.5
What am i doing?
Well, i was going to take the rabbits at the start of the game, then when i called up the game had started and betting suspended...I was swearing....
So what was the tabs mistake is my gain.
Anyways, 1-1 tonight...Not bad considering the trash that parra dished up...
Nice of the NRL to give Brisbane a Friday night game every friggin week.
7 day turnarounds, week in, week out.
oh nothing, other than the draw gives certain teams an unfair advantage, season after season... and it seems Brisbane are always well looked after
Its not fair......
TV ratings should not determine which teams get an unfair advantage

A collage of fragmented forms follows its own dream logic in Birds Portchmouth Russum's Hampshire country house, writes Jay Merrick. Photography by Nick Kane
If the poet Philip Larkin had been in a less bitter frame of mind when he wrote This Be The Verse, its infamous first line might have read differently: 'They don't fuck you up, your mum and dad'. Touring Downley House in Hampshire with Andrew Birds and Mike Russum, it's clear that their progenitors, James Stirling and Michael Wilford, left an influential birthmark; the parental-cum-creative trauma aspect seems muted.
Birds Portchmouth Russum's design has produced a £2.5 million country house whose plans, sections, and materiality are complex, faintly tense in places, beautifully crafted, and neither decisively Modernist nor Postmodernist. The most distinctive elements of this 650m2 scheme are a collaged trinity of two silos and a huge horizontal drum.
Birds and Russum delight in fragmented forms. One of Russum's academic presentations at Nottingham was titled Dreaming Up Homes. 'We're juggling balls,' he explains. 'We have a [design] dream, and we're not going to be fettered by convention.'
The graphic formal and material qualities of Downley House are precise but initially opaque. Two of Andrew Birds' superb design stage illustrations unlock the mystery. The first, one of 400 drawings produced by BPR, is an exquisite pen and ink axonometric visualisation of the exterior of Downley House. It hazes the compacted geometries into a peculiarly rustic, and oddly Piranesian, state.
The second artwork, Ascending into the Landscape, is more significant. It is a conceptual plot-line that doesn't show the house, but leads us on a verdant promenade that steps across and up the sloping 0.62ha site. Despite the consumate draughtsmanship that produced them (that single axo took Birds five days), neither illustration gives a true idea of the actual collaged physicality of the building, nor of the way the junctions between the main elements seem part of a deliberately, and literally edgy, formal game.
There is the sense of a forced relationship between the graphically precise and the almost poetic, which creates an odyssey through quite different types of internal space, volume, and materials. As architecture and experience, Downley House is bravura rather than virtuosic, but pleasing in many ways. Ultimately, and perhaps unexpectedly, this is a homely building.
That quality owes a great deal to the work of the skilled hands that brought the building's meticulously contrived details to life: the beautifully fashioned elm pulpit at a turn in the bridge across the building's barrel-vault volume, which masks the fact that a curved balustrade in toughened-glass was not possible; the bedroom stairs that suggest jammed pinball flippers; the Sussex sandstone courses of the arrival courtyard, whose surface textures and course-depths were copied from hand-drawn elevations; and the finely crafted copper roof and gargoyle details.
The building lies in a fold of the Ditcham Park estate, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The key view is northwards towards a gentle saddle of fields rising into the South Downs half a mile away. About 15m to the east of the house stands a century-old brick, stone and flint wall.
This is the repaired remains of the house once lived in by the estate's engineer, the decision to retain it was clever, and critical in giving meaning to the axes of the new building.You arrive at a circular stone forecourt with radiused garages set into rising ground to the west. An oak-framed loggia leads you to the radiused wooden door of the main entrance, which opens into an internal lobby in the first of the building's two glass-topped towers.
From here, you can reach the guest rooms in the south wing, the kitchen, the terraced garden immediately to the west of the house, and the big central double-height dining room, whose glulam vaulted barrel form - elliptical and axially aligned with the remains of the entrance door in the ruined wall outside - was inspired by the giant wine barrels known as foudres. I calculate that this central space has roughly the same 1.2m litre volumetric capacity as the world's biggest foudre, La Cave de Byrrh at Thuir.
The building's most interesting fulcrum is in the northern tower element. There is a finely crafted glass and steel circular staircase, that casts a wash of pale blue translucence through its helical, low-iron glass treads. The beautifully proportioned fulcrum space harbours a full-height glazed wine cellar, and entrances to the sitting room, media room and children's playroom. On the first and second floors are the children's bedrooms, a master bedroom with a skillfully articulated dressing room and bathroom enfilade, and a small 'belvedere' study looking north over the roof garden.
In the sitting room, the stonework of the fireplace and its horizontally extended 'feet' are in a stripped-down abstraction of an Arts and Crafts baronial manner. And, through the vertical glazing on the room's double-height corner element, one sees the inner face of the ruined wall a few metres away. The mind jumps to Lutyens' brilliant conceit: the internal wall given entirely external features, as in the great hall at Little Thakeham, Sussex, built in 1903.
Birds agrees with the connection. 'The interesting thing about Lutyens,' he says, 'is the idea of a series of formal set-pieces that open up to the inside and outside. And that gives an idea of fragmentation.' Except, of course, that Lutyens' tableaux never seemed fragmentary.
Birds and Russum's argument that the formal fragments of Downley House are essentially vertical is also debatable: despite its two drum-towers, the vaulted central foudre, and the vertically oak-boarded elements, the building presents itself as a fundamentally oblong ensemble.
Neither can the architects explain precisely why they're interested in fragmented architecture, or the use of drum forms. The latter dates back to projects as functionally disparate as the 1991 Avenue de Chartres car park, Chichester; the 1998 Pacemaker Concept House; and the vivid bongo-forms of their competition scheme for the Somerset House Riverside Terrace.
Russum's idea of architectural design as part dream process and part post-Stirling collagism has produced a pressing together of the orthogonal and the organic to create an embossed architecture composed of different languages. In 16th and 17th century verse, that method would have been termed macaronic. Here's a jolly plateful of the stuff by a 16th century Latinist by the name of Stanyhurst:
Then did he make heaven's vault to rebound
With rounce robble bobble,
Of ruffe raffe roaring,
With thicke thwacke thurly bouncing.
Some may dismiss Downley House as the architectural equivalent of 'thicke thwacke thurly bouncing'. Indeed, initially, I moved through this building braced for a grim crumple-zone moment. There wan't one.
The formal and material junctures of Birds and Russum's design lingo are redeemed by the rustle of those hundreds of obsessively detailed pages of drawings. They follow you around this house, and what at first seems polemically arbitrary - rounce robble bobble! - evolves into a quizzically finessed exploration of space and atmosphere that recalls WH Auden's 1954 incantation, Vespers: 'It is now that our two paths cross … In my Eden we have a few beam engines, saddle-tank locomotives, overshot waterwheels and other beautiful pieces of obsolete machinery to play with … For without a cement of blood (it must be human, it must be innocent) no secular wall will safely stand.'

21 Day Listing
No Obligation 21 Day Listing - Multiple Offers Guaranteed
This marketing strategy is revolutionizing the way real estate is sold, as well as restoring Realtors' reputations
I am Joshua Campbell, Realtor fellowship trained at the right hand of my father (36 year real estate veteran) to conduct business with absolute honor and integrity. Even if it means I must sacrifice myself, or my interests to protect my client, which I do daily. I consider myself a humble, protector and informer. I do not sell people. I advise and counsel. Even more amazing I have a revolutionary marketing strategy I have developed to sell ANY home with multiple offers (generally above market value) in less than 21 days guaranteed. My listings are never longer than three weeks and the owners can cancel anytime if they are unhappy. No obligations here, just service, information, and guidance.
I am targeting two existing markets one being the private sector of investors/owners of real estate who need/want to sell and are tired of the lies agents say to lock owners into long contracts with price reduction after price reduction and obtain 1 maybe no offers... They are fed up with agents selling themselves instead of their home! Open houses, staging, broker previews... they do nothing to produce offers. We do the opposite and retain all power and leverage for the seller. Value is none other than what someone will willingly pay, today. We find value, FAST. The second market would be the corporate banks with Real Estate Owned properties... with our ability to sell and close properties quickly as well as manage them in the interim periods we are well suited to service that industry as well. We can solve any problem involving selling or buying real estate and we do it by informing, we never sell. We let people do what they already want to (after the get proper counsel) do, today.
My aim is to look professional and intelligent. The logo should portray the speed of our 21 day listing program. Please keep the logo clean and easily readable.
"21 Day" should be most prominent.
- Main Text: 21DayListing.com or 21 Day Listing (without .com)
- Tagline must be easily readable: "MULTIPLE OFFERS GUARANTEED"

- No shadowing
- 4 color maximum

We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.
~J.R.R. Tolkien
"The only just literary critic," he concluded, "is Christ, who admires more than does any man the gifts He Himself has bestowed."
~J.R.R. Tolkien
"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!"
~J.R.R. Tolkien
"Writers who see by the light of their Christian faith will have, in these times, the sharpest eye for the grotesque, for the perverse, and for the unacceptable. To the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures."
~Flannery O'Connor
You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
"There are forms of insanity that condemn people to hear voices against their will, but as writers we invite ourselves to hear voices without relinquishing our hold on reality or our right to control."

Christians have sometimes been suspicious of stories, because they really can influence you. If you read the Twilight novels once a month for a year, I think you'd be a different human afterward—and not a sparkly one.

An Alabama man was arrested on a burglary charge after a break-in Sunday at Remedies Pharmacy, where hydrocodone pills were taken, police said.
About 6:30 a.m., officers responded to a burglary alarm at the pharmacy at 25 Medical Drive, where the front glass doors had been shattered. They observed a masked man walking toward a vehicle while carrying four pill bottles, later found to contain hydrocodone, often prescribed as a painkiller.
Additional investigation found that the man's hands were bleeding and that he had covered his license plate with medical tape.
Officers detained the suspect, Alan Paul Lucas, 30, of Birmingham, Ala, and he was booked into the Potter County jail on a charge of burglary of a building.

I'm a 3.0 - 3.5 level tennis player. I took classes 5 years ago, and I'm looking to getting back to playing tennis on a regular basis. If anyone near the Lake Merritt area would like to play let me know.
I like rallying more than playing a game.
I'm available weeknights from 6 onwards or on Saturdays.
Let me know if you are interested.

The man on the voicemail is flirty and clearly asking for a date. But it's the name on the message that's raising red flags.
"Hi, it's your newly favorite congressman, Bob Filner. You know, the one who fell in love with you at your last speech," he told Eldonna Fernandez.
He also asked her out to dinner in the message.
"I don't want to wait 'til you come back to have dinner with you," he said.
That message was left a year ago, while Filner was serving his 10th term as a U.S. congressman. He had met Fernandez at a National Women's Veterans Association of America "Healing and Hiring Fair."
When Fernandez got the message, she immediately deleted it. But when sexual harassment allegations against the now-San Diego mayor began to surface a few weeks ago, she remembered the "creepy" message and was surprised to find it still sitting in her iPhone's voicemail trash.
"Ugh. It creeps me out, it creeps me out," Fernandez said. "The guy's got problems."
But the unwanted voicemail isn't the real problem for Fernandez. It's where and to whom he made inappropriate advances.
Fernandez, along with Army veteran Gerri Tindley, joins 11 other women who have publicly accused Filner, 70, of making unwanted advances, from groping to verbal passes.
They are also among at least eight female veterans and members of the National Women's Veterans Association of America (NWVAA) in San Diego who have made accusations against the mayor. Almost all of the women were victims of sexual assault while they were in the military.
The women, like Fernandez, say the former chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee used his significant power and credentials to access military sexual assault survivors, who they say are less likely to complain.
Fernandez is a retired master sergeant from the Air Force. She served 23 years in the United States and was deployed to the Middle East after 9/11.
She said she was raped three times during her service. Like many victims of military sexual assault and rape, she suffered in silence, believing the system would never support her.
In civilian life, Fernandez now speaks openly about her assaults and is an active member of the NWVAA, which supports victims of military sexual assault.
Fernandez was speaking at an NWVAA event in August 2012 when she exchanged business cards with Filner.
"He looks at my card. He looks at me. He says, 'Fernandez. Are you married? Do you have a husband?' Very quick, very direct. I said, 'No, I'm divorced.' 'Well, you're beautiful, and I can't take my eyes off you, and I want to take you to dinner.' I was really shocked and I was like, 'Uh, OK,'" Fernandez said.
Then came the phone call and voicemail, which Fernandez never returned.
Another veteran: Filner was rubbing me
At the same NWVAA event where Fernandez spoke, Army vet Tindley gave a speech about her violent rape, which she said happened during her eight years of service. She bore a son from the sexual assault.
Filner, who was running for mayor of San Diego at the time, was also scheduled to speak. In the green room, he asked Tindley about her rape.
"He got as close as he could to me. His jacket was touching my jacket," Tindley said. "I was bent down. He was bent down with me, rubbing like he cared, like he was consoling me."
Tindley said she felt uncomfortable as Filner moved closer and closer. So close, she said, that she nearly fell off the couch trying to move away from him.
"I felt very weird," she said.
When asked if she said anything, Tindley replied, "What am I gonna say? You're a congressman. What am I gonna say to you? What am I gonna say to his man? Can he destroy my life, can he stop me from moving forward?"
A series of complaints
Three weeks ago, as women began to step forward to reveal instances of sexual harassment, the veterans at the NWVAA began to compare notes.
Tara Jones, the president of the group, said she's spoken to seven to eight women who had varying encounters with Filner at the women's veteran events, from groping to unwanted requests for dates.
"He went to dinners, asked women out to dinners, grabbed breasts, buttocks. The full gamut. Everything that is complete violation of what we stand for," Jones said. "He's a sexual predator. And he used this organization for his own personal agenda."
Jones, who says she was raped while she was in the Navy, formed the NWVAA as a safe haven for military sexual assault victims. She invited Filner into her group, lavishing praise on his service to veterans while he was a congressman in Washington. She even stumped for him as he campaigned to be San Diego's mayor.
Jones remembers Filner's speeches, where he has often called for a zero tolerance of sexual abuse in the armed forces. She said she feels not only outrage but also a deep and familiar sense of being victimized by a man of power.
"He preyed upon people who were vulnerable, who he knew nine times out of 10 would not speak up, that didn't have enough strength in them to speak up," she said. "It's not OK. You need to not be in office. You need to be out of office. You need to not have the ability to prey on others."
That's a sentiment that Fernandez shares.
"We're all victims of military sexual assault. It appears to me that he was targeting the organization and hitting on the women of this organization because they were easy prey," Fernandez said. "He's part of an organization that's against sexual assault and sexual violence against women and sexual harassment. And he's doing the very thing that we are fighting to make stop in our service and in our country."
Tindley questioned why Filner was in public office.
"How can you be a representative, take an oath, and be a predator? Do you know how damaging that is for women who are truly victims of military sexual trauma or rape in general? Who can we trust to help us?" she asked.
Filner checked into a two-week therapy program Monday to help him deal with his behavior. Calls to his spokeswoman were unreturned.
Lee Burdick, Filner's chief of staff, dodged CNN's questions and would not answer to the latest allegations from the female veterans.
Filner's attorney Harvey Berger had no comment.
