JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING - In an effort to improve child literacy while boosting interest in book reading overall, the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Child Development Center (CDC) held its first read-a-thon drawing several children and parents to the event.
"One of our goals [at the CDC] is to have a partnership with the parents of the children where they are active in their child's reading development," said read-a-thon organizer, Cecillia Kitson.
Kitson, who is also a CDC training and curriculum specialist, said the "Wild About Reading" read-a-thon achieved that goal.
"It really caused parents to get more involved in their child's reading. They were really excited to participate," she said.
CDC's initial goal for the read-a-thon was for readers to finish 500 books over a four-week period. But children and their parents read more than four times that amount as more people signed up, according to Kitson.
"It even got a little competitive," she said.
Collectively, read-a-thon participants read 2,151 books during the 30-day period, according to Kitson.
Navy Lt. Shaka Thorne, an attorney at JBAB, said he enjoyed being a part of the read-a-thon with his daughter because it encouraged them to spend quality time together for a great cause.
"It provided an opportunity for us to sit down and read together, which is what we should be doing already. Any excuse for us to read more, is a good thing," Thorne said.
Thorne and his daughter read several books during the read-a-thon including the "Gingerbread Man" and the paperback version of the Disney movie, "Frozen." His daughter recommended that book, he said.
"We really had a good time reading the books during the read-a-thon," Thorne said.
The CDC chose a safari theme for the read-a-thon to attract more people to the event, according to training and curriculum specialist, Pearl Loftlin who also organized the event.
"I found the 'Wild About Reading' idea online and I thought it would be great way to get everyone excited about reading," she said.
Loftlin enjoyed hosting an activity that, she says, proved to be fun and meaningful for both parents and children.
"It was a lot of fun gathering and creating the materials for the read-a-thon," she said.
During the read-a-thon, the reading progress was documented on log sheets provided by teachers at the CDC. Once the logs were complete, the center posted the names of the readers and the titles of the books read on tags with safari animals and fruit. The tags were put on display throughout the center.
The children were grouped into different categories designated by a specific animal and a specific fruit. Infants (who had books read to them) had their names and titles of books read placed on animal tags with monkey faces and fruit tags with bananas. For the pre-toddler group, their names and book titles were on tags with meerkat faces and tags with mango fruit. For the toddler group, names and book titles were on zebra animal tags and pineapple fruit tags. And for the preschool group, names and book titles were on elephant animal tags and coconut fruit tags.
Kitson said the overall interest in the event has had a positive impact on the military and civilian community at JBAB.
"A lot of people came back to the center to express their happiness with the read-a-thon," she said.
The read-a-thon had a positive impact on the reading abilities of the children who participated, according to Loftlin said. She said looks forward to setting up another read-a-thon in the future.
"It was great having this for the kids," she said.

Blairsville bank robbery suspect arrested
A state police trooper on routine patrol arrested a bank robbery suspect minutes after he pulled a gun on two Blairsville tellers Monday morning.
Matthew James Johns of 703 Whittier Drive, Indiana, robbed the Indiana First Savings Bank at 915 Route 22 in Burrell Township around 11:25 a.m., state police said.
Johns pointed a semiautomatic pistol at two bank tellers and demanded money, police said. After placing the money in a yellow plastic bag he brought with him, Johns left the scene in a white Dodge Caravan and headed east on Route 22 toward Route 119, police said.
A trooper conducting routine patrol along Route 119 near Route 56 in Homer City spotted Johns minutes after the robbery and apprehended him. Police seized money and a gun from Johns' vehicle, police said.
Johns was expected to be arraigned on armed robbery and other charges last night.

Fox Sports World and Fox Sports World Español to Broadcast Two U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal Matches Live
In the first match, airing live at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on both networks, the defending U.S. Open Cup champion Chicago Fire will host the A-League's Pittsburgh Riverhounds in Wheaton, Illinois, just outside Chicago. Then at 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT), Fox Sports World and Fox Sports World Español will broadcast a West Coast showdown between Major League Soccer rivals the Los Angeles Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes live from Negoesco Soccer Stadium at the University of San Francisco.
The Fire advanced to the quarterfinals on July 11, with a last-second 1-0 victory on the road against the Kansas City Wizards to extend the team's current U.S. Open Cup winning streak to seven games. For Pittsburgh, the road to the quarterfinals included an upset 2-0 victory over MLS's Colorado Rapids in the second round and a 2-1 triumph over fellow A-League combatants the El Paso Patriots.
After recording back-to-back home victories in the second and third rounds, the Galaxy will play their first road match of the 2001 tournament when they travel to meet the Earthquakes. The Earthquakes are coming off a penalty-kick shootout win over the host Milwaukee Rampage (A-League) in the Round of 16 on July 11. After battling the Rampage to a scoreless draw through regulation and two sudden death overtime periods, the Earthquakes prevailed 7-6 after eight rounds of penalty kicks. Meanwhile, despite trailing 1-0 in the second-half, the Galaxy advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-1 triumph over the Seattle Sounders Select of the United Soccer Leagues' Premier Development League.
The Galaxy and the Earthquakes are currently tied atop of the Western Division with 32 points at the halfway point of the 2001 Major League Soccer regular season.
Both Fox Sports World (FSW) and Fox Sports World Español (FSWE) quarterfinal broadcasts are Western bracket match-ups, with the winners of each game set to meet in the semifinals on Aug. 21 or 22. In addition to airing a second round match-up between the Galaxy and the A-League's Nashville Metros, FSW and FSWE will also televise both semifinal contests and the 2001 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship scheduled for Oct. 27.
In the Eastern Open Cup quarterfinal brackets, the New England Revolution will host the Columbus Crew at Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., at 7:30 p.m. ET, while D.C. United squares off against the A-League's Richmond Kickers at 7:30 p.m. ET at RFK Stadium. The Revolution and Crew are both coming off 2-1 third-round victories on July 11, with the Revolution topping the Charleston Battery (A-League) and the Crew coming from behind to down last year's Open Cup runner-ups, the Miami Fusion. In D.C., United is coming off a 3-0 blanking of the Hershey Wildcats (A-League) on July 11, while the Kickers defeated the Connecticut Wolves (A-League) 2-1.
Dating back to 1914, the 88-year-old U.S. Open Cup is the oldest soccer cup competition in the United States and is among the oldest in the world. In 1999, the single-elimination tournament, open to all affiliated professional and amateur clubs in the United States, was renamed the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup to honor the long-time soccer supporter and pioneer. Hunt, the owner of the Columbus Crew and Kansas City Wizards of MLS and the owner of the Dallas Tornados of the old NASL, was one of the sports first major ownership figures and is a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Nathan Williams Bossless v2 Nash Cranks
This option is temporarily out of stock.
- Description
- Specs
- Video
This new version of the Nathan Williams signature cranks are now bossless, so you can run them with the new Machinez sprockets. From the start when working on these signature United Nathan Williams Nash Cranks, he had some very specific ideas for how he wanted them to look, they needed to be easy to install and maintain, and obviously able to withstand the pressures of his riding. We took these ideas and combined them with some proven manufacturing processes and by using FEA analysis software have managed to create a lightweight and street tough pair of cranks.
The design has been kept slim, clean and simple to create classic looking arms without any fancy gimmicks, but it's whats on the inside that counts. by hollowing out the 22mm spindle as much as possible and creating arms with a shape to offer greater bend resistance and strength, we have made a set of cranks Nathan is proud to put his name to. As a final touch, all cranks are supplied with an installation/removal tool and a small sachet of grease, which make fitting them a breeze.
Endorsed and designed with Nathan Williams
Bossless design to work with Machinez sprocket

Ducks Acquire Tyler Wright and Francois Beauchemin from Columbusby Staff Writer / Anaheim Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Mighty Ducks announced Tuesday that the club acquired center Tyler Wright and defenseman Francois Beauchemin from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for center Sergei Fedorov and a fifth round draft choice in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
Wright, 32 (4/6/73), has played in all 18 games with Columbus this season, scoring 0-4=4 points with 20 penalty minutes. He has appeared in 588 career NHL games, earning 77-68=145 points with 823 penalty minutes. A native of Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Wright has played in 30 career playoff games, earning 3-2=5 points.
The 6-0, 190-pound forward was selected by Edmonton in the first round (12th overall) of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. Wright was a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets inaugural team, having been claimed by the club from Pittsburgh in the 2000 Expansion Draft.
The 6-0, 214-pound Beauchemin is appearing as an NHL rookie this season, having earned 0-2=2 points with 11 penalty minutes in 11 games. The Sorel, Quebec, native appeared in his first and only NHL game previous to this season with the Montreal Canadiens (going scoreless) during the 2002-2003 season.
He was selected in the third round (75th overall) by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. He was claimed on waivers by Columbus, from Montreal on September 15, 2004.
Fedorov, 35 (12/13/05), has earned 0-1=1 point in five games this season. The 6-2, 206-pound forward has played in 993 career NHL games, scoring 431-589=1020 points. A native of Pskov, Russia, Fedorov has played in six NHL All-Star Games. In two seasons with Anaheim, he scored 31-35=66 points in 85 games.
He was originally drafted by Detroit in the fourth round (74th overall) of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.

Spotlight athletes: Elizabeth Forward's Josh Krieg, Yough's Jessica Cochran
Josh Krieg
Class: Senior
School: Elizabeth Forward
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Krieg qualified for the PIAA championships in the 100-yard butterfly and 100 freestyle, as well as two relay events. The senior swam a 48.78 in a rare 100-yard freestyle swim-off to lock him into the last qualifying slot.
"Josh has been a swimmer for four years. He has qualified for the WPIAL meet all four years and the PIAA meet for three years," EF coach Tammy Blackwood said. "Josh is very flexible and a very well-rounded swimmer. He has changed events in the past, but he is most focused on the 100-yard butterfly. He trains really hard and is really smooth in the water. He makes it look effortless."
Have you ever done a swim-off before?
No, that was the first time.
What was going through your mind before that started? Were you nervous?
No, I wasn't nervous because I knew the competition. We used to swim together, and he was a good sport about it. That is rare, and I just had to do what I had to do.
What are your goals for the state meet?
I think to just better my times and do the best that I can.
Will you be playing anything else in the spring?
I'm going to continue swimming in the spring. Nothing else in addition to that.
What do you enjoy most about swimming?
Just being with my team and my friends. The competition is great, too. I just like the fact that I'm able to be a team player and that everyone is always there for you. We suffer through the hard stuff together and enjoy the good times together as well.
What would you like to do next year?
Not sure what school I'm going to yet, but I want to go into the medical field — maybe something like personal training. I plan to keep swimming as well.
Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?
I would rather be outside in the ocean or something like that. I don't like the cold weather. My family goes to Myrtle Beach every year. I love it there.
Jessica Cochran
Class: Freshman
School: Yough
Sport: Swimming
Claim to fame: Cochran will compete in the PIAA state finals in the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke, despite having no pool at her school. She qualified 5th in the butterfly with a time of 59.67 and fourth in the backstroke (59.65).
"Pookie, as she is known, has an incredible work ethic," Norwin Aqua Club coach Neil Jones said.
Jones has been Cochran's coach since she started swimming; he serves as her coach because Yough has no swim program. Cochran's parents are listed as her coaches for meets.
"She's very humble and supportive of all of her teammates. I've been coaching swimming for 16 years and I couldn't ask for someone with a better attitude. She would run through a brick wall if we asked her to. It's great to have her here."
Do you think it's more difficult for you because you don't have a home pool or does that just motivate you a bit more?
Well, I guess it kind of motivates me when I have to say that I don't have a pool. I feel like I have to prove to people we race against, but I also have to prove myself to my school district. Even though we don't have a pool, it's not going to slow me down. I'm going to keep going. Sometimes when people don't have a pool they quit and move on to other sports. I wanted to keep at it because I love it and I want to prove to my school district that I can still do it. When people ask what team I swim for, I tell them I'm unattached and that I don't have a team and they look at me like I'm crazy.
What do you enjoy most about swimming?
That's tough. Honestly, there are a lot of swimmers that get really focused and their whole life revolves around swimming, but I go to practice to see my friends and whatever happens, happens. It's great to make it to states as a freshman, but whatever happens after this is for kicks and giggles. My coach whipped my butt in practice this year, but I've learned that hard work does pay off. But mostly it's my friends that keep me going. I like seeing them and pulling pranks on our coach, so it's fun to go to practice.
— Robert Stinner

Three skiers are left stranded 100 feet above the ground when their chairlift abruptly stops. As the wolves gather beneath them, they're left to make some stark decisions.
Best buds Dan (Kevin Zegers) and Joe (Shawn Ashmore), along with Dan's girlfriend Parker (Emma Bell), unwisely hop on the last ski-lift of the weekend and are stranded 100 feet in the air when the mountain is closed. No-one will find them for days, and wolves gather below. Yes, it's Open Water up a mountain, but none the less effective a suspense-horror item for all that, with some sharp writing — tensions between the trio aren't helped by their predicament — and nigh-on infallible rock-and-a-hard-place plotting. Adam Green's concise film starts with a 'what-would-you-do?' scenario as ordinary folk cope with a crisis no less deadly for being absurd and escalates through embarrassment (someone needs to pee), panic and grue (frostbitten flesh stuck to metal) to desperate, bloody measures.
Taut and tense, it's an effective suspence-horror.

The Abe administration will stipulate a long-term goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 from current levels in Japan's next climate change plan, according to a government source.
The move follows the international climate agreement reached in Paris in December. The plan, being compiled by the Environment Ministry and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), is likely to be approved by the Cabinet before Japan hosts the Group of Seven summit in May.
The government is obligated by law to update the national plan for cutting emissions, but it has not had a new plan since fiscal 2013 partly because energy policy was thrown into disarray by the 2011 disasters, including the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Prior to the global climate talks in Paris, the administration decided on a goal of slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent in 2030 from 2013 levels, which will be included in the upcoming plan.
But on the long-term goal of cutting emissions by 80 percent, a target upheld by previous governments, some officials have been cautious about including it in the next climate change action plan.
Under the envisioned plan, the government will seek to introduce more renewable sources while also aiming to have all households shift to more energy-efficient LED lights by 2030.
As for coal-fired plants, which emit more carbon dioxide than other energy sources, METI will set standards for their power generation efficiency and encourage inefficient facilities to be scrapped.
The ministry will also require utilities to bring the ratio of renewable energy and nuclear power combined to 44 percent or more by fiscal 2030 to prevent the percentage of non-nuclear thermal power generation from rising.

WICHITA (AP) – A judge has again delayed the trial of a Kansas anti-abortion activist accused of sending a threatening letter to a Wichita doctor training to perform abortions.
The trial of Angel Dillard of Haysville was reset for Oct. 29, 2013. That would be nearly three years after she is accused of sending Dr. Mila Means a letter saying people were watching and mentioning that someone could place explosives under her car.
The Justice Department sued Dillard under a federal law aimed at protecting access to reproductive services.
The case has languished since its filing in April 2011. The court docket shows 23 motions have sought extensions of various deadlines for filings and proceedings. Nearly all those requests were filed by the defense.
One other trial delay also was granted.

Celebrity appeal should involve less stupidity, lots more Emma Watson
College students have a fascination for celebrities and sex, so news like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez breaking up gets more attention than developments in the Syrian conflict.
Honestly, I'm also shocked that Bieber has anything remotely related to a sex life, but I'm not shocked enough to actually read — or give a damn — about it.
I don't care that Gomez is jealous of Bieber tweeting pictures of himself with models with cup sizes twice his age. I don't care that he met Gomez on Sunday night to discuss their problems and that he still likes her, but is intrigued by other women. And yes, I don't care that I did more research for this column than I care to admit.
Congratulations, Bieber, you finally hit puberty. Hopefully that means your voice will drop and your popularity will vanish, and my neighbors will finally take down that obnoxious poster of you that I can see from across the street.
You know who you are.
I want to end the absurdity of celebrity, so I propose a change. Let's raise the bar of what a celebrity must do to make headlines. No more news of Snooki's latest bang or Zac Efron's new girlfriend. It's time to put in some rules to improve news:
Only let Tom Cruise into the news if his head explodes. The man hasn't made a decent movie since I was in middle school and is one of Hollywood's biggest jerks. The most impossible mission he has ever been on was marriage. Just ask Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes.
American's infatuation with Megan Fox's latest hairstyle is mind-boggling. And I'm pretty sure that if Angelina Jolie adopted another African baby, the world might actually stop turning. So let's stop covering these two altogether.
The media can cover Pamela Anderson when she finally floats to space. One of these days she is going to get some serious back pain from carrying around "Baywatch's" best boobs, and she'll have the silicone drained and replaced with helium. I hypothesize this would cause her to be the first unmanned human to reach outer space without a vessel. But knowing Anderson, she won't be completely unmanned.
Write about Lindsay Lohan if she changes her name to Tony Montana. All she has to do is get a scar on her face and she'll have more right to the name than Al Pacino ever did.
Never publish anything about the Kardashians. Ever. These people have done absolutely nothing of notoriety other than screw up Lamar Odom's career. No wonder he throws up so many air balls now. He's married to one.
Stay away from the entire state of New Jersey. The girls have the same skin tone as Otto and the guys all think they belong in a bodybuilding contest. Stay away from the entire state: Don't risk letting the stench stick to you.
Leave the Osbournes alone. Seriously, Ozzy sounds like Charlie Brown's English teacher, and Sharon and Kelly have as much right to be celebrities as Charlie Brown has to be the Jets' kicker. It's time to get off the "Crazy Train" and let this family get the therapy it badly needs.
Report if Taylor Swift writes a song about a successful relationship. I know I'm being a little hypocritical with this one, but can you blame me? It would be so shocking if the world's saddest teen artist actually sang something happy that it would have to be reported.
If Emma Watson does anything, it's news. Everyone has his or her celebrity crush, and I've had mine since this star wore that pink dress in the third "Harry Potter" movie.
Screw the rules. Give me more Emma Watson.

Police have found a child's body, believed to be that of Aisling Symes, after searchers dug behind a west Auckland property near where the two-year-old went missing a week ago.
Inspector Gary Davey said it was with "tremendous sadness" that he could confirm police had discovered the body of a child in a drain just after 8pm yesterday.
He said it was too early to confirm if the body was that of Aisling and how long it had been there. "It is too early to know how the child got there or indeed, how long she had been there."
Speaking with tears in his eyes Mr Davey said the property had now been cordoned off and was being treated as a crime scene.
Aisling disappeared a week ago from the front yard of her deceased grandparents' home in Longburn Road, Henderson, west Auckland.
She was watching her mother, Angela, and five-year-old sister Caitlin fix a tap on a washing machine when she wandered away.
A police search team scoured a three-kilometre radius around the house for nearly 48 hours but failed to find any trace of her.
The last confirmed sighting of her had been at 5.15pm last Monday in Longburn Road in the company of an unknown Asian woman who was walking a dog.
At 10.30pm yesterday more than 100 people were at the scene, some with small children, holding candles and huddled in blankets.
Leah Hayes said the discovery of the child's body "made her feel physically sick". "I was hoping for a happy ending. It's just so sad."
An address in Pomaria Road, which backs on to the property, has also been under police guard.
Fire officers and police spent the evening digging land located down a long driveway off the Pomaria Road address, which backs on to a creek and neighbours the house of Aisling's late grandparents.
The area had been covered with tarpaulin and was being searched by about 15 police officers under lights.
It is understood police had also searched a septic tank at the back of the section.
Earlier about 200 people gathered outside the property where the sound of heavy machinery had been heard and a helicopter had been hovering nearby.
Family members who attended a church service praying for Aisling's safe return, were also called away. Aisling's parents were not in attendance.
British peer Michael Ashcroft had offered a reward of $50,000 for information on the missing toddler.
It is not known whether this reward offer had any connection with last night's discovery.
Police staff on the inquiry had been increased to 70.
Last week police said that, after an intensive search of the area around the Longburn Road house, they were convinced she was not in the area.
Aisling's father said the past week has been "one very long bad day".
A Facebook site set up by Symes family member Christina Bartle had more than 12,000 members.
Mrs Bartle, whose husband is Aisling's cousin, said Aisling's parents had been overwhelmed by the messages of support.

No May Flowers
Hi everyone. I'm sorry I've been so bad about posting lately. It's been a really busy time for me. Once I got back from Spring Break, I had four large papers and two big exams due in just over a month. I've turned in one of those papers and am currently working on another, but it's taking at toll on me. I've been having a hard time - the weather here is unseasonably cold, according to the Belgians I know, and I know all of my friends at home are finishing up their finals and getting ready for summer while all of my hard work is just beginning. I've been very homesick lately.
Yesterday, we took a field trip to the office where refugees apply for asylum in Belgium. It was in the World Trade Center towers near my residence, and we had a great view of the whole city. It was interesting to hear about how they process applications for asylum. It's something I would consider to be an interesting career someday. After seeing the formal side, we went to a housing facility for people who are waiting for their refugee status to be approved or denied. Depending on how many times they appeal the decision, they can live in places like the one we saw for up to two years. I expected it to be something like the homeless shelters I've visited in the US, but it was much, much nicer. They do their best to insure everyone has as much privacy as possible, and the residents can come and go as they please. Everyone we saw seemed to be happy and healthy - their situation here is probably much better than the one they came from. It was an interesting field trip, but also kind of draining. It was just another reminder of how lucky I am.

The Political Economy of Stalinism: Evidence from the Soviet Secret Archives
Using formerly secret Soviet state and Communist Party archives to describe the Soviet administrative command system, this study concludes that the system failed not because of Stalin and later leaders, but because of the economic system. It pinpoints the reasons for failure such as poor planning, unreliable supplies, preferential treatment of indigenous enterprises as well as the basic principal-agent conflict between planners and producers, which created a sixty-year reform stalemate. Although the command system was the most significant human experiment of the twentieth century, its basic contradictions and inherent flaws would re-surface if it were to be repeated.

Above, Bell Nuntita, or in Thai, Nuntrita Khampriranon, on the "Thailand's Got Talent" TV show.
I will refrain from including any spoilers in this blog post, but just stay with it. The performance is clever and beautiful. Thailand is a country with many problems, but it's pretty awesome that a moment like this can happen in popular culture there, with applause and acceptance.
Make sure you see her message to her father, the last 45 seconds or so of the video clip. And you just *try* not to cry while you're watching that.

America's robust recovery from recession is still proving slow to create jobs.
Workers on US payrolls edged up by 57,000 in November, far below the 150,000 forecast.
US sharemarkets fell as investors were disappointed the labor market had not turned the corner with the US economy.
The disappointing figures will take pressure off the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates from 45-year lows at its meeting on Tuesday.
That should further buoy the Australian dollar, AMP economist Shane Oliver said.
"Most data on the US economy has been strong, but employment is a lagging indicator of recovery," he said. "When the economy picks up it takes time for employers to put on more people."
Yet a different survey of households showed the unemployment rate dipped in November to 5.9 per cent, its lowest level since March.
Sluggish job creation has been a consistent concern in the US despite the economy growing at its fastest rate in nearly 20 years. Economists worry that US companies, in a bid to keep costs low, are producing more overseas where salaries are lower.
Without growth in jobs in the US, there are fears that consumer spending may slow, undermining the recovery.
The downbeat reading on employment blunted Thursday's optimism that led the Dow Jones index to its highest level in 18 months.
For the week, the Dow was up 0.8 per cent and the Nasdaq down 1.1 per cent. The Australian sharemarket is tipped to dip five to 10 points tomorrow.
Gold extended its rally to levels not seen in almost eight years after the report on US employment hit the dollar. See Investor liftout

Duress in Defense Law
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
What is Duress?
Duress occurs when a person has been deprived of his free will by means of a threat of violence or threat to personal liberty. A person acting under duress might not be held liable for the crimes he has committed. When a person raises a duress defense, the accused admits to committing the crime, but typically asserts that his actions should be excused due to the duress.
A person may also raise a duress defense when force or violence is used to compel him to enter into a contract, or to discharge one.
Requirements of a Duress Defense
- There must be a threat by another person to kill or severely injure the person acting under duress or a third party (particularly a near relative)
- The source of the threat causing the duress must be another human being
- The person acting under duress must believe that the threats are genuine
- The threat must be present, imminent, and impending at the time of the actor's criminal act - this means that the threatened harm will occur right away if the person acting under duress does not comply
- There must be no reasonable escape from the threat except to comply
- The person acting under duress must not be at fault in exposing himself to the duress
Murder and Duress
A majority of states will not excuse homicide for reasons of duress. However, a minority of states will drop homicide to manslaughter for reasons of duress.
Duress Used in an Intolerable Prison Conditions Context
A majority of modern courts allow people who have escaped from prison a duress defense, if the escapee turns himself in to the police after escaping. If successful, the escapee won't be punished for escaping but he will have to finish his sentence in another jail. For an escapee to claim duress he must show that:
- He faced a specific threat of death, forcible sexual attack or substantial bodily injury in the immediate future
- He had no time to complain to the authorities or the authorities were unresponsive to complaints
- There was no time or opportunity to resort to the courts
- There was no evidence of force or violence used towards prison personnel or other innocent persons in the escape
- He immediately reports to the proper authorities when he has attained a position of safety from the immediate threat
What Can You Do if You are Accused of a Crime, But Acted Under Duress?
If you are accused of committing a crime where you acted under duress you should contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately. A criminal defense lawyer can help you mount an effective duress defense against the charges you are facing.

The Olympics are coming to London in 2012. Not surprisingly this is known as "London 2012". The city is building places to house althetics, to facilitate the sports and is putting in a load of transport links.
What does Google make of this?
Google's increasingly rolling out onebox results here in the UK. To support it's recently enhanced movie listings service we're seeing movie onebox results more often too.
It's not always the result we want.
In this case we're getting London cinema times for the end of the world movie - 2012.

LEARNING Curve Day Nursery celebrated 10 years since opening its doors on Friday with the people who have helped the business get to where it is today.
The nursery, in Brinkworth Road, Royal Wootton Bassett, started off with only four young children in 2004, and now, ten years on, welcomes around 75 youngsters every day from as far away as Chippenham and Cirencester.
Alan Butler, who owns the nursery with his wife Naida Malik, was pleased to have reached the milestone.
He said: "When you start a business you never know where you are going to be in ten year's time.
"We have become quite an established part of the community in Wootton Bassett and we take children from Swindon, Marlborough, Cirencester and Chippenham.
"We're very pleased and we hope to continue with what we are doing for another ten years."
The celebrations on Friday welcomed many people who have been involved in the nursery over the past ten years, including the architect, a builder, parents, staff members and the Chairman of CALM, which the nursery fundaise for.
There were also members of the Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council present as well as local Mayor, councillor Linda Frost.
As well canapes and hors d'ouvres from a buffet, guests also enjoyed a birthday cake made into the shape of the nursery building.
"We had a big party in November last year for the children, where there was cake and jelly, but this time we really wanted to thank the people who have been involved in the nursery either from the outset or the duration, said Alan"
The children also helped to welcome the guests by making the decorations and a big birthday cake in the nursery's colours of yellow and blue.

First time's a charm!: Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by msfrolic
Overall Member Rating
First time's a charm!
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
We were fortunate enough to have a dining table in the middle of the ballroom - underneath fantastic chandeliers and facing a magnificent wine cellar in a 2 story tower. Elegance, nice variety of meals beginning with a starter then salad, entree and dessert - each course served efficiently and in a professional manner. If you couldn't decide which entree you wanted, you ended up getting both. We opted for the premium wine 5 package and if you enjoy wine, this is a great value - 5 bottles of wine for $199 (plus gratuity). We had options for the bottles we did not finish at dinner - either bring to your room or leave for the next night (they mark your room number, table number and seating time). This was well worth the price for us. We also opted for the premium water package (only 1 of us did that, but we both enjoyed the Evian throughout the day) - this was likely a "break-even" for us, so not sure we would do that again.
The service was flawless across the board - in the restaurants, cafes, bars, stateroom - everyone was very attentive to our preferences and requests. We chose shore excursions and again, they were organized and carried out very efficiently. We chose the helicopter ride to the Mendenhall Glacier and a glacier walk (complete with an icy drink of glacier water) and highly recommend the experience! Glacier shoes are provided, so you feel comfortable walking on the icy surface - the view from the helicopter only begins to capture the vastness of the slow moving ice structure. Very glad we did it.
The other excursion we chose was the train ride through White's Pass - we opted for the train ride only and it was perfect. The weather cleared as we made our way to the top - the ride spectacularly scenic and easy - ample photos taken along the route.
While we had signed up for both of these prior to departure, the one excursion we chose aboard was the Space Needle and Chihuly Gardens tour with airport drop-off. Our ONLY complaint about this was that the description given in our daily activity list was not the description of all that it included. Our main purpose was to view the Gardens, which we had read about on the in-flight magazine on our way to Seattle. With a very smooth Disembarkation experience (part of that was booking this excursion so you have one of the first disembarkation times) our bags were easily gathered and on we went to our bus.
We arrived at the Seattle Center around 9:15 and had to return to the bus at 10:45. While this was shorter than we all thought, we thought it would be fine. Up the Space Needle - back down 10 minutes later after a panoramic walk at the top, on to the Gardens......they did not open until 10......this we did not know, nor were we told. So this only gave us just over 30 minutes to visit and experience this fantastic space that has only been opened for a year. Return to the bus for an hour drive to the airport (this was not in the description) with supposed "sights" being pointed out as we drove by them. Not our idea of the excursion for which we thought we were signed up.
Back to the ship - she is magnificent! All the appointments are luxurious, tasteful and rich. The casino has a nice variety of slot machines, crap tables, roulette, various levels of blackjack, poker and baccarat. Our room (9273) was on the Concierge level and worth the extra cost. A wonderful balcony, privacy, ample storage, a comfortable mattress with ultra soft linens and a pillow "menu" (we never needed a different pillow as our down pillows were perfect), a large bathroom and shower with nice product (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion) and plush robes. Our room attendant was invisible except if we needed something and respected our leisurely morning time. What ever we wanted, we had across the board and felt pampered and well cared for.
We would choose Celebrity again in an instant and look forward to our next cruise experience. Less

Cabin review: C19273 Concierge Class
Great room and great location. We enjoyed being on the port side of the ship and just aft. The room was well appointed, ample storage for our clothes, toiletries, shoes and luggage. The sound-proofing is amazing, we only heard the voices of our neighbors if we were both on the balcony. Occasionally, we heard footsteps of someone walking heavily, but that was it. The only think we would have preferred is to somehow be able to hear the occasional announcement that was broadcast over the speakers. They are not piped in to the room, so you either need to open your door to try to hear it or not hear it at all. They say you can view on channel 5, however, announcements are not stored, so if you miss it - you miss it.Nice product in the bathroom and plush towels, robes and soft linens.Read All Concierge Class (C1) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Mendenhall Glacier
We had booked this in advance from the online descriptions. We were very happy with this choice and highly recommend! Our trip began with a bus ride to the airfield - a pleasant driver, easy ride and upon arrival, we viewed a safety video and then on with the life vest, glacier boots and bundled up for the ride as it was drizzling and would be cold up on the glacier. We had a great ride in the helicopter complete with head sets. It would have been helpful to know that you could only bring what you could wear - no bags or purses - they were locked up at the airfield in lockers.
It would also been helpful to know that glacier boots were provided and they just slip over your shoes, so it really doesn't matter what shoes you have on underneath as long as they are comfortable and you have warm socks. The glacier guide was fun, informative and kept us moving around viewing the various spouts, crevasses to be seen in the 20 minutes before we were picked up. All in all, a wonderful excursion and awesome to see the glacier from above.
We did not opt for an excursion in this port, and were fine with that choice. The town is very nice, we did a little shopping and spent quite a bit of time in Diamonds International purchasing Tanzanite jewelry. The town is picturesque and quaint. We returned to the ship early.
White Pass Scenic Railway
A wonderful ride - we were the first of 4 trains that were making their way on the second round of the day. As the first, we were able to go all the way to the top, another 30 minutes of scenic beauty which was a real bonus. Also, being on the later time, we were able to see much more than the early group (according to our guides). A wonderful round trip and glimpse into the past.
Took one of the "shuttles" to downtown and walked for a while, enjoyed a local beer and back to the bus. Got to be in the "vibe" of this quaint island, that was about it. Glad we were back in time to get to our final formal dining night before packing up our bags.

Australia's weak housing market is taking its toll on listed property stocks, with investors reducing their exposure to the sector.
Two of the largest residential exposed stocks,
Falling house prices in many parts of the country in the first part of this year, alongside soft finance figures and building approvals, have triggered a drop in sentiment in the residential market.
"There is a worldwide theme of an overvalued Australian residential market and some of the data that we have seen recently has provided some evidence for the naysayers," Resolution Capital managing director Andrew Parsons said.
"Some investors have become a bit spooked."
Building approvals for the March quarter were down 18.1 per cent year-on-year, while house prices across Australian capital cities fell 1.7 per cent on average in same period. Demand for housing finance dropped by 4.8 per cent in February, while affordability continued to decline.
Stockland added to concern with a cautious outlook at its quarterly update last week, despite reaffirming earnings guidance. Its share price fell to a 12-month low of $3.48 on May 5. It closed yesterday at $3.54. Mirvac and CSR also hit 12-month lows on the same day but have rebounded slightly.
Perth-based Peet hit its year low on May 4 at $1.68, while building products company Brickworks hit its on May 6, when it fell to $10.10.
Materials group Boral and Perth-based property group Cedar Woods have also slid this month.
Analysts are increasingly cautious in the outlook for the residential sector.
Peter Warnes, head of equity research from Morningstar, was bearish on the prospects for housing starts. "Everyone keeps talking about 150 to 155 [thousand] housing starts, my gut feeling is that it's a high target for calendar 2011," he said. "It wouldn't surprise me if it came below that, but we won't see it north of that."
Royal Bank of Scotland analyst Andrew Scott was likewise downbeat, tipping a trough of 132,500 housing starts in fiscal 2012.
"Recent finance approvals data, coupled with our home-builder survey and other industry feedback, have convinced us that a traditional, deep-cycle bottom is now more likely," he said.
RBS recently downgraded most of the building materials sector on the back of a predicted drawn-out recovery in the construction industry. "Key headwinds [to a recovery] include land affordability and availability and the withdrawal of the first-home buyer from the market. This, coupled with recent natural disasters, has led to a material deterioration in buyer confidence," Mr Scott said.
However, UBS analyst David Leitch said CSR, Boral and James Hardie's falling value meant the sector was well valued. "We think the market's pessimism may represent a buying opportunity," he said.
Sentiment towards Mirvac has been affected by a $215 million impairment on its residential projects announced in January and an expected writedown of the value of its Tennyson Reach project in Queensland, where floods have bruised sentiment.
Stockland, at its quarterly update, said March-quarter lot deposits indicated a monthly rate 37 per cent down on their September 2010 peak. The group said lot settlements this year were now not likely to meet its previous target of around 6000, though margins would be higher. The company attributed the weaker settlement levels to buyer caution, which had delayed decision making.
Australand also reported softening residential conditions, but new project launches are expected to deliver a 25 per cent rise in gross lot sales this financial year. The trust has bucked the sector trend, to gain slightly in May, moving from $3.03 to $3.04.
Phoenix Portfolios' Stuart Cartledge said the market had reacted understandably to the Stockland update, which had shown that the residential market was not as strong as previously indicated.
Housing affordability was going to continue to weigh on the sector, Mr Cartledge said.
"From the real macro perspective, the whole affordability issue is quite significant," he said. "With the prospect of further interest rate rises to come, that affordability issue is quite a hurdle to overcome. While we expect residential property to improve, there is a headwind in that people can't afford to buy."
Peet said in a presentation last week that despite the Queensland floods having no direct effect on its business, sentiment, planning and development had all been affcted. The Victorian residential market continued to perform well, with price growth moderating, while the Perth market was soft but stabilising.

Free and easy voice calls, video calls, and chat between Skype users; Skypecasts
The quality of moving images matches that of most IM-based clients, but like them, Skype displays just 15 frames per second, which is only half-motion video.
Bottom Line
This great, mostly free voice communications app and Web service just keeps getting better.
click a number, any number
i suspect that with another new feature, click-to-call, skype hopes to boost acceptance of its service in the u.s. and canada. north america currently accounts for only 12 million users. if you browse with firefox or internet explorer (sorry, opera and safari fans), an agent in the skype client scans the web pages you visit, highlights each phone numbers it finds, and provides a button you can click on to connect via skypeout, the company's service that lets you make calls to standard phones.
originally, skypeout operated on a pay-as-you-go basis, with users purchasing credits in increments of $5, $10, or $25. as part of an effort to increase use of the service in north america, the company decided to eliminate the fee for calls in the region through the end of this year. skype has yet to announce whether this will continue into next year; i'm guessing that it will. next: looking (and hoping) ahead

NASA Captures Detailed Images of Comet Hartley 2
NASA's deep space mission EPOXI successfully completed a flyby of the comet Hartley 2 on Thursday, and has sent back detailed images of the peanut-shaped body.
"Early observations of the comet show that, for the first time, we may be able to connect activity to individual features on the nucleus," Michael A'Hearn, EPOXI's principal investigator said in a statement. "We certainly have our hands full. The images are full of great cometary data, and that's what we hoped for."
The vessel EPOXI, previously called Deep Impact, traveled 2.9 billion miles into space and captured images 435 miles away from the Hartley 2 comet, which was traveling at a speed of 27,000 miles-per-hour. Scientists say the photos of the icy body will provide them with new and useful information about comets.
"It's a testament to our team's skill that we nailed the flyby distance to a comet that likes to move around the sky so much," said Tim Larson, EPOXI project manager at NASA's jet propulsion lab.
The flyby spacecraft includes two imaging instruments mounted on a common platform. They have a nine-position filter wheel that allows the science team to take pictures in different parts of the color spectrum, NASA said. The high-resolution instrument features an 11.8-inch telescope that delivers light simultaneously to a multispectral camera and an infrared spectrometer within the instrument.
"This camera is one of the largest instruments flown to date on a planetary mission," NASA said in a fact sheet. "The instrument's camera will obtain the best, most detailed pictures of a comet ever taken."
The medium-resolution device, meanwhile, has a 4.7-inch telescope and takes pictures of stars and the comet for guidance and navigation.
"The spacecraft has provided the most extensive observations of a comet in history," Ed Weiler, associate administrator for NASA's space mission directorate in Washington, said in a statement.
Hartley 2 was discovered in 1986, named after Malcolm Hartley, who works on the Siding Spring Observatory's UK Schmidt telescope in New South Wales, Australia.
The photos of Hartley 2 are a bright spot for NASA, which has had to delay the launch of space shuttle Discovery several times this week, finally pushing it to Nov. 30 due to leaks and a crack.

Despite the fact that reading the entrails of those opinions suggest that they'd contribute to an easy fifth, sixth, and seventh vote to uphold the individual mandate as a legitimate exercise of Congressional power, the real question isn't whether those Justices will be bound by 70 years of precedent or their own prior writings on federal power. The only question is whether they will ignore it all to deprive the Obama of one of his signature accomplishments.
Professor Randy Barnett, the intellectual power behind the entire health care challenge, wrote recently that Justice Scalia could break from his previous opinions—freeing him to strike down the Affordable Care Act—"without breaking a sweat." I suspect that's right.
If that's true, we should stop fussing about old precedents. These old milestones of jurisprudence aren't what will give Scalia pause. What matters is whether the five conservative justices are so intent in striking down Obama'shealthcare law that they would risk a chilly and divisive 5-4 dip back into the waters of Bush v. Gore and Citizens United.Now, the first question to ask is who is Dahlia Lithwick to so smuggly declare the absolute constitutionality of all aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? Well, she's a Canadian citizen with a B.A. in English from Yale and a law degree from Stanford. Fair enough. That's better bona fides than a great majority of pundits--including myself--who are currently waxing poetic on issues of constitutionality. But then, she also clerked for Justice Proctor Hug of the Ninth Circus...errr, Circuit. For those unfamiliar with the Ninth, that would be Court of Appeals with--by far--the most overturned decisions of any lower Court in the nation. If nothing else, we know the ideology behind her training, then.
Regardless, it's a heavy declaration: that the Act is fully constitutional as a matter of fact. And really, she should know better given her background. Ms. Lithwick makes a finding of fact on the basis of her opinion and that of a handful of others alone. Hardly the methodology of a legal scholar.
As to her assumption about the Court, the idea that the Act might be struck down for ideological reasons alone, even though the Judges know such a decision would be wrong, she's dead serious about this:
That brings me full circle to the court's five conservatives. Is it possible that they are sufficiently ideological and political that the grim joy of sticking it to the president and the Congress will lead them to strike down the law? Of course.Her implied evidence for such a state of affairs are the two cases mentioned above: Bush v. Gore and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In Ms. Lithwick's worldview, these two case were wrongly decided and represent the worst transgressions of the last decade or so:
Consider a couple of relevant data points:
We know that the court took a huge public opinion hit after Bush v. Gore and again after Citizens United. But that doesn't necessarily help the administration. Because in this case the American public believes the health care law is unconstitutional. The most recent polling I have seen shows that over 50 percent of the American people—including many who benefit from popular provisions of the law—still believe it's unconstitutional.See that? Bush v. Gore in 2000 was a black eye for the court, apparently unmatched until Citizens United in 2010. Where was Ms. Lithwick in 2005, we must ask? Because that is the year of Kelo v. City of New London. Surely, her head is not stuck so far in sand as to make her ignorant of the backlash from the Kelo decision. After Kelo, States began drafting laws to prevent the usurpation allowed by the Court, people engaged in various protests against the Justices who had voted for the decision, and an entire body of writings appeared discussing the issues of the case. And for the most part, the public disagreed with the decision. 80% of the public, in fact. Yet somehow, Ms. Lithwick fails to mention Kelo, skipping from 2000 to 2010, in looking at poorly received cases.
I say "somehow," as if her reasons were unknown, but that's not accurate. We know them. Ms. Lithwick agrees with Kelo and accepts the basic proposition at issue, with regard to the extent of government control over personal property. Note that her review of Little Pink House--which I just cited--was a bit of a touchstone, as she was caught making some basic errors. And I've talked about Little Pink House previously, including the remarkable development of a Connecticut Judge admitting that he erred in his ruling on the case:
Afterward, Susette and I were talking in a small circle of people when we were approached by Justice Richard N. Palmer. Tall and imposing, he is one of the four justices who voted with the 4-3 majority against Susette and her neighbors. Facing me, he said: "Had I known all of what you just told us, I would have voted differently."But the point here is that Dahlia Lithwick is an ideologue of the first order. She has her own agenda; she's made it clear on numerous occasions. Her piece is fundamentally dishonest, insofar as it presents her own opinions as legal facts that are not in dispute, when such is not the case at all. And in assessing the case about to go before Congress, she ignores Kelo because legitimate points are made therein, with regard to the extent of government authority. And those points will be raised again. Rather than worrying about Bush v. Gore, the backlash to fear is the one that may mirror the public's reaction to Kelo.
Ms. Lithwick rightly notes the role of the Tea Party in making the case against Obamacare. She--and others--would do well to remember that the movement was built on things like the Kelo decision. Say "Kelo" to a typical tea-partier and see what you get. Ms. Lithwick doesn't think the Affordable Care Act case is all that significant. She couldn't be more clueless in this regard.
Cheers, all.

The Treasure Map layer for Google Maps is all well and good. It can't really compete with the 8-bit Maps we saw last year, but it's pretty cool, and beyond the new skin for Google Maps, there is a Treasure Hunting game. Google did a good job, even going so far as to add a sepia filter to all of the Street View images in Maps.
The story is that while Google was building up its ocean maps, they came across Captain Kidd's 315 year-old map showing the location of treasure around the world. If you want to check it out, just head over to Google Maps. And, keep an eye on the Google Maps G+ page for more clues.

Cabin Carry
This pattern is available for free.
The slow color changes of this yarn and the log cabin construction technique contribute interest to the final look of this felted tote. The bag is constructed by knitting two log cabin squares from self-striping yarn and joining them together while creating the sides, bottom, and strap of the bag. There is no seaming and minimal finishing required.

Where: Dodger Stadium
TV: Prime Ticket
Did you know: Going into Friday's game, Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig had more three-hit games (six) in his career than hitless games (four).
Numbers game: .156 – Batting average against Dodgers left-hander Paco Rodriguez this season, lowest among National League relievers.
Ryu is winless in four starts this month (0-1) despite a 2.73 ERA in that time. He has had to pitch out of a lot of danger with opposing hitters batting .291 against him this month and piling up 30 hits in his past 261/3 innings. But he has been adept at minimizing damage by not giving up extra-base hits. Opposing batters are slugging just .359 with one home run against him in those four starts.
vs. Phillies: First game
At Dodger Stadium: 4-1, 1.81
With the Phillies languishing under .500 and looking up at the Nationals and Braves in the NL East standings, Lee's name comes up frequently in trade-deadline speculation. But Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said last week he has no plans to put the 34-year-old veteran on the market. Lee has a no-trade clause. Lee is undefeated in his past 10 starts (7-0) with a 2.00 ERA and .202 batting average against in that time.
vs. Dodgers: 2-1, 0.95 ERA
at Dodger Stadium: 1-0, 0.77 ERA
Loves to face: Matt Kemp, 1 for 16 (.063), 9 SO
Hates to face: Adrian Gonzalez, 9 for 16 (.563), 3 doubles, 1 HR

Inspector Alvarez is just considering whether he can surreptitiously leave work early when a colleague calls to tell him that an Englishman has been found dead in his car in his garage, the engine on and the tank empty. Alvarez, chafing over the prospect of an evening on the job, proceeds to the scene, but his hopes of a quick and easy case are dashed - for while the man was found in a car full of fumes, it appears the cause of death was not carbon-monoxide poisoning....

HUFF Weekly "Save Streetside Vitality" Protests Likely to Continue
For the last month, HUFF has held regular protests outside the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company initially focusing on "Backpack Bigotry"--the policy of that cafe, Peet's, Lulu Carpenters, and Starbucks to "ban all backpacks", but actually selectively admit the "less homeless-looking" folks. The protests are now encouraging musicians, artists, chessplayers, chatters, and the community generally to return and treat the sidewalks as the community property that it is. Laws criminalizing sitting or performing with a donation cup on 95% of the sidewalk need to be laughed off the Avenue. So far there has been general approval and no response from the armed uniforms patrolling the street. The article below includes a description, a flyer, and a petition.

Stephen Colbert Sends Up Summer's Eve Douche Douchiness (NSFW)
Stephen Colbert is always on the lookout for injustice against menfolk. And where do men suffer the most than in the field of genital cleaning products? Women have long enjoyed empowering cleaning agents marketed to their dirty vaginas. But the poor, dirty penis? Shamefully ignored. What nerve!
When Summer's Eve douche products unveiled their new "Hail To The V" commercials last week, Colbert could not take it any longer. This injustice has to stop. Thank God men now have Fresh Pine Dick Scrub so that you, like your lady counterparts, can screw around with what nature intended. May you never feel embarrassed about that not-so-fresh feeling ever again. [Colbert Nation]Want to contact the writer of this post? {encode="[email protected]" title="Email her"}!

|Reviews for Einhander: Revelations of the War
| Reader chapter 1 . 5/30/2012
Very well done! Can you please update!
| Tales of Gray Wolf chapter 1 . 7/14/2010
Vile, thank you thank you for your good Einhander fic!
I too am a fan of that game.
I am also a fan of aircraft, especially in combat, so the combo of my likes makes this a good read. Makes me want to play Einhander again.
| Marine10166 chapter 1 . 12/2/2006
This is an exellent story PLZ continue it,this is a pure cliffhangar!
| Vin chapter 1 . 4/5/2004
I very much enjoyed the fic so far. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
| Serenade DS chapter 1 . 3/26/2004
This story is decent. The pressure bombs were never used in the game, as the figher itself had almost no armor. If there were pressure bombs, accidently hitting the floor would have triggered them.
| Zerg Saga chapter 1 . 12/10/2003
Thank God theres some people that know of yeah the fic, it's pretty cool.
at least now i'm not the only one that loves this game.
| Hero4 chapter 1 . 2/1/2002
Whoa! Now that's what I call a plot twist!
There were a lot of good descriptions, and plenty of suspense, drama, etc... You're a pretty good writer.
One thing though... weren't the schabes the weaklings that didn't have gunpods? Not that it matters, I don't remember what the other ones are, now that I think about it...
Can't wait until chapter 2!
| Deezee chapter 1 . 11/13/2001
Finally got a chance to finish reading this thang. Very nice, indeed. I was wondering where you was going with this at first, for it seemed you was just retelling the whole flight we flew while in the game. But, the third-person part of the story bring everything together nicely. And nice use of words! There ARE people out there who know more words in the English language than just what they learned back in 8th grade. Please, write more!
| Bryan chapter 1 . 10/11/2001
Very cool story so far. But I have a couple of questions. I've only made it to the big gorilla looking like boss in the game and I've never seen the Juno cannon or Flash gun. Are those secret gunpods or something you made up?
| anthony chapter 1 . 9/26/2001
truly some great stuff.A nice scifi story with lots of action just what i like read an enjoy all
| ghost chapter 1 . 9/24/2001
very good never have i seen a einhander fanfic despite the fact that it is a very good game in fact pne that i played it's a favorite of mine contiue when you have the chance
| ShadowWolf Forsythe chapter 1 . 9/10/2001
I am a huge fan of the Einhander series, I've unlocked abosolutely every secret there is to unlock, explored all of the paths ther is to explore, and killed all the bosses in all the possible ways there is to kill 'em (heh)
Anyway what I'm getting at is, I think the story is absolutely fantasic and I hope there is a continuation to it. I myself am going to start writing an Einhander series sometime in the future, where it takes place during the ending animation of the game (where the upgraded fighter flies toward the moon and starts attacking everything)
Well enough about that. I rate this story a 10 out of 10 and a S. Keep up the good work man!
| dave chapter 1 . 9/10/2001
very interesting. i am curious to find out what is going on. i liked it a lot

Elle MacPherson with Shorter Hair
It is quite obvious how good Elle MacPherson looks with short to medium length hair and the curls that bounce around her face. The contrast of the color of her dress takes any brassiness out of her hair that a warmer color would reveal. The use of your curling iron will bring these jazzy curls that Elle is wearing. Don't forget to spritz with gloss!
Elle has shorter curls that fluff over her ears and gather around her neck. Combed with a centered part there are two waves on each side and ribbons of curls scattered about in coils and loops for us to see. If Elle's hair were straight, it might tip to her shoulders.
