Her lawyer said she had made the decision to save herself, and the Air Force, further embarrassment.
The case had been due to open at Minot Air Base, North Dakota, tomorrow.
Ms Flinn, whose predicament has rarely been out of the headlines in the past week, became something of a star two years ago when she qualified as the first woman bomber pilot in the US Air Force.
At the end of last year, however, at the age of 26, she was grounded, pending court martial for a catalogue of crimes which included adultery.
If the case was embarrassing for Ms Flinn, whose chequered love-life was picked over by even the most upmarket American newspapers, it was doubly so for the military, as some of its top brass candidly admitted. Their star pupil was in disgrace; upwards of $1m of training had apparently gone to waste.
Now, only a few days after the Air Force denied a report that that it was discreetly suing for peace, a deal appears to have been done. If convicted as charged, Ms Flinn would have faced prison, a dishonourable discharge, and a ban on flying in military or civilian life. An honourable discharge would enable her to take a commercial pilot's job.
The Air Force stands to gain far more: it will avoid having its policies and practices subjected to long and contentious public scrutiny. For if one case exemplified the confused intersection of military discipline and sexual politics in the United States today, this was it.
Ms Flinn's version is briefly this. After Air Force Academy and bomber- training school, she realised her ambition to become a B-52 pilot. Stationed in the freezing, windswept wilds of North Dakota near the Canadian border, she was starved of company. She felt out of place at the officers' club and unwelcome at the wives' club, but she knew the rules.
Men junior or senior to her in her own command were off- limits. She declined to date colleagues of equal rank, regarding it as unprofessional. She had a brief fling with an officer in another command. But last year, she fell in love - innocently, she maintains, but unwisely - with a civilian sports coach who told her - falsely - that he was separated.
The relationship went wrong. She discovered his lie; he drank and turned violent. Ms Flinn's superior officer learnt of the affair and ordered her to end it. She obeyed, then disobeyed when her lover attempted suicide. Then she lied to cover up: a train of events in which one "mistake", as she calls it, triggered a succession of military crimes. Opinion in the civilian world was generally kind to Ms Flinn; but the military - and the Air Force in particular - was fiercely divided. Hardliners maintained that anyone who lies to a superior officer, whatever the circumstances, has no place flying bombers, serving in the Air Force, or in the US forces at all.
Others, however, regarded the court martial as absurd over-reaction, if not sexual discrimination. Ms Flinn, they said, did nothing that countless male officers had got away with, and nothing that some timely advice or at most a reprimand might not have solved. They pointed out that neither of Ms Flinn's admitted liaisons breached fraternisation rules, and that she became aware too late that the second affair was adulterous. This more charitable view, however, comes up against the unimpeachable fact that the law on adultery in the military was enacted not by the forces but by the US Congress. So, if the rules are to change, this is a matter for Congress.

5 Things Every Good Community Manager Does

A Really Useful B2B Marketing Benchmark Report from Optify
The Point
You see a lot of so-called "benchmark reports" in B2B marketing circles, and most of them are, well: complete rubbish. The reason many of these reports are worthless, in my view, is that they're based on non-randomized surveys, and thus the results are influenced heavily by who chooses to respond. The metrics reported by B2B benchmark reports can also be grossly misleading.

Your Inside Sales Team Shouldn't Be Survey Takers
Sales Prospecting Perspectives
One of my biggest goals with any new rep on my teleprospecting team is to establish appropriate habits. There have been many times that I've worked with insides reps with a few years of experience teleprospecting and find that within the first month of their employment at AG I have to undo much of what has already been ingrained into their sales approach. Problem is, if we condition our reps to just get a list of questions answered on a cold call that is exactly what they are going to do because that is what they have been trained to do. (B)udget

Key Features
About Castelli
Ideal for hot days, the Castelli Podio jersey uses Prosecco 3D fabric and mesh undersleeve panels to keep you cool and dry.

Finally a 25cm YKK front zipper gives fine temperature control and features a camlock design to stop the pull rattling around whilst riding. The Jersey blends classic design with modern touches, the simple colour scheme is lifted by sublimated side and shoulder prints whilst the three traditional rear pockets are joined by an additional valuables pocket with zip closure that's ideal for carrying keys, a mobile phone, emergency cash or anything else you cannot afford to lose. A gripper waist holds the jersey firmly in place, stopping it riding up your back for optimum fit and comfort.

About the Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) Market in India The construction market in India has expanded significantly after the economic liberalization in the 1990s. The introduction of PEBs has improved the construction market in India. Additionally, with the increased approval of FDIs and the Make in India campaign initiated by the government of India, there has been a rise in the demand for infrastructure from all sectors in the country. However, the traditional construction methods have been unsuccessful in meeting the increased demand for infrastructure from sectors such as power, warehousing, fast moving consumer goods, automotive and logistics, and pharmaceuticals. The PEB technology originated in the US and was introduced in India by Middle Eastern vendors. One of the major challenges for adopting PEBs in India is the persisting trust in traditional construction methods. With the rise in the awareness of the advantages of PEBs, the demand for these products is gradually increasing in the country. Technavios analysts forecast the pre-engineered building (PEB) market in India to grow at a CAGR of 16.15% during the period 2016-2020. Covered in this report The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the pre-engineered building (PEB) market in India for 2016-2020.

The Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, lost the final game of a four-game set in a 5-3 loss to the Charlotte Knights on Thursday night. Shortstop Zach Walters hit his team-best 16th home run, but the Knights broke a 3-3 tie with a pair of sixth-inning runs and hung on late for the victory.
Charlotte (32-42) scored a first-inning run without the benefit of a hit against Chiefs starter Jeff Mandel. Leadoff hitter Jim Gallagher walked and stole second base for advancing on a Steve Tolleson sacrifice bunt. Third baseman Brent Morel then drove in Gallagher with a groundout to shortstop for the game's first run.
Walters made sure the lead wouldn't last long. With two outs and the bases clear in the top of the second inning, Syracuse's shortstop blasted a solo home run to center field off of Knights right-hander Zach Stewart. The home run - Walters' career-high 16th - tied the score at one.
Charlotte took the lead back with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Brandon Short and Gallagher started the inning with walks before Tolleson sacrificed the runners over. Morel then grounded in his second run of the day, giving Charlotte a 2-1 lead. First baseman Mike McDade followed with a run-scoring double sliced down the left-field line to put the Knights ahead by two.
Syracuse (28-43) evened the score in the fifth inning with three straight hits. After a leadoff single by Walters, right fielder Chris Rahl tripled to straightaway center field, cutting the Knights' lead to 3-2. First baseman Carlos Rivero followed with a ground-ball single to center to plate Rahl.
The Knights put another two-run inning on the scoreboard in the bottom of the sixth inning. With one out, Josh Phegley singled, Lars Anderson walked and Tyler Greene reached on an infield single to load the bases. Right-hander Mike Broadway replaced Mandel to face second baseman Angel Sanchez, who drove home a run on a fielder's choice to second base. A Broadway wild pitch then scored Anderson to give Charlotte a 5-3 lead.
Syracuse next hits the road to take on the Gwinnett Braves on Friday night at 7:05. Chiefs right-hander Yunesky Maya is slated to start.

Management Tip of the Day: Networking traps to avoid
BOSTON (Reuters) - Developing certain networks -- especially those that are merely echoes of yourself -- can impair your career rather than boosting it, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"Not all networking is created equally. In fact, developing certain kinds of networks can impair your career rather than bolster it.
Here are three networking personas to avoid:
1. The biased leader. Don't solely rely on advisers who are similar to you. They only reinforce your biases. Look for people who have different backgrounds or values and will encourage you to make more informed decisions.
2. The superficial networker. A common networking mistake is to engage in surface-level interaction with as many people as possible. A bigger network is not a better one. Be sure your relationships have depth.
3. The chameleon. Don't change your interests, values, and personality to match those of whomever you're talking to. You'll end up more disconnected than when you started. Be true to who you are."
- Today's management tip was adapted from "A Smarter Way to Network" by Rob Cross and Robert Thomas.

A golfer in a sand trap can usually give plenty of reasons for his being there. Last week the U.S. Golf Association gave him another: patriotism. Adopting the suggestion of Chicago's Fred B. Snite, father of the famed Iron Lung patient, the U.S.G.A. recommended that every U.S. golf club designate one of its traps a "U.S.O. trap." Every time a he-golfer lands there, he would be fined 25¢ (for she-golfers, 10¢)the proceeds to be turned over to the United Service Organizations.

Ashmit Patel, whose alleged girlfriend Veena Malik recently made headlines for posing nude on the cover of FHM, seems to be following in her footsteps.
The 34-year-old actor has also posed nude for a men's health magazine.
The black and white picture sees the bare Silsilay star hiding his private part with an undergarment.
Ashmit reportedly features in a write-up for the style section of the magazine, advising the fellow men to go for right kind of underwear be it trunks or briefs.
As the actor has always maintained a lean, well-sculpted body, the photo where he poses in the buff, covering his manliness with a brief, doesn't make a vulgar picture.
The actor was last seen on the TV series Superstud, where he trained boys on how to attract women.

The light that went on in my head, is now I am ready to start the search for another pair of boots. I have loved these boots since I picked them up in 1998 and only wear them in bad weather situations in the city and camping. The reason for that is if you wear your boots all the time on hard surfaces like asphalt and concrete the soles wear out before the shoe does.
After this past weekends attempt at times to rock climb I realized (OK everyone else pointed out) that alot of my issues are my boots. My boots have an older less sticky sole that does not grip as good as modern rubber soles do. Now I just have to go out and try on every pair of hiking boots I can find till my little diabetes toes feel right. I will have to glue this pair up for the time being but a new chapter of my life begins.

SherWood is used as "standard" sizing, as they have standardized their paddle sizing year-to-year.
Goalie Stick Sizing
Unlike other pieces of gear, sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender's preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface.
The reason for the paddle height's significance is because it sets up the goaltender's depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
To start, put on at least your goal skates and if you're looking to be more accurate strap on your pads and blocker as well. Once that is done get into your natural stance (the one you'd be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
- 1) The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1' – 2' in front of the goaltender's feet.
- 2) While satisfying the above, the inside edge of the blocker hand (while holding just above the paddle) sits on the outside edge of the goal pad. This ensures that there is no double coverage with the goal pad (stick is too small) and keeps the seven-hole sealed (stick is too large).
The reason stick sizing can be so subjective compared to other pieces of equipment is the ambiguity of "natural stance," especially with young goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn't usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length, on the other hand, is usually best left at its stock length as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and (ideally) place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers—cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender's feet.
Note: Be careful with Bauer goal sticks: they measure about 2" shorter than all other brands due to a different paddle height measurement.

The 860 goal stick from CCM is a good choice for goaltenders looking for reliable durability and solid value. The paddle and blade have an added polyurethane foam core to improve the 860's strength and absorb energy from puck impact—resulting in better overall feel and control. CCM has also layered the shaft with multiple layers of laminate to improve durability by distributing blows due to incoming shots.

My Dad had E-Trade for a while and the fees ate him alive. If you didn't have some sort of activity each quarter, and your balance was under $10,000 they hit you with a $40 fee. Ridiculous and not exactly "buy and hold" friendly.
I've had a Firstrade account for a while, and referred him over. They'll credit you the $50 that some other firms charge for you to leave them. Trades are $6.95 for stocks and $10.95 for no load mutual funds. Not a bad deal, and no fees whatsoever.
Anyone use Etrade? Is another service better?

koreys wrote:Ok, everything you said was understandable. One last question when it comes to purchasing individual stocks. I understand what you are saying about avoiding pitfalls by choosing individual stocks that may not perform so well over time. What if the stock is that of a company you work for and they have had a past performance that has been good over time and the company offers a good purchase/match plan?
Be really careful when purchasing employer stock. Think Enron. Those folks rolled much of their investment into their company stock and they also relied on their company to provide their income so when the company went belly-up they not only lost their current income but they lost all of their investments as well. Had they diversified, the job loss would have been bad but at least they would still have their investments.
You should never have more than 10% of your money in company stock. If they give you good incentives, take them but then get rid of that stock as soon as you can (while mitigating taxes). Don't let it just build and build because that is really putting too many eggs in one basket. You may want to spend a little money and talk to an EA or some other sort of tax advisor who knows about ESOP and ESPP plans and the tax consequences that go along with them so you make sure you're planning appropriately.

I would only add to the above by saying that unless you're at the executive level and have specific knowledge about your company's future performance (bordering on insider information) then you're probably not much better off investing in your company than I am. That puts you back in the position of trying to be a "stock picker" relying on either past performance (bad), fundamental analysis (arguable), or pure speculation (even a broken clock is right twice a day). If you have reason to believe that your industry is healthily appreciating, a much safer play is a sector index that includes your firm.
The woman clicking away in the next cubicle worked for Enron and lost a substantial amount of her retirement savings. She's in her 60s and, in addition to severely downgrading her lifestyle, I'm not sure if she'll ever really be able to retire in the conventional sense. This town has far too many "eggs in one basket" stories.

Posts Tagged 'how to dress'
Dress looks are just about manageable without a pair of black opaque tights which by now we are all desperate to ditch. Turn this shocking pink dress with it's on-trend ruffle details into a stylish day look with these capsule wardrobe basics: the humble denim jacket and must-have 'fashion' trainers. If trainers aren't your thing switch for an animal print ballerina or a pair of ankle tie pointed flats. Natalie x
A dress that's the perfect blank canvas is a great investment piece for your wardrobe. This navy blue fit-and-flare update on the shirt dress can take you from a weekend lunch (white skate shoes or a tan wedge) to a wedding guest or evening out look. Play around with your accessories. Add bold brights for a summery feel or stick to metallics for a touch of evening glamour. Natalie x
An ivory blazer or tuxedo jacket is a fabulous weekend-to-wedding-guest piece. Shape up denim looks with a bit of sharp tailoring and add a coloured or print flat to this monochrome look. Natalie x
- Tory Burch sunglasses £142.75, Ganni top £45, 3. Topshop jeans £40, 4. M&S jacket £59, 5. Jimmy Choo flats £213.17
Make more than one statement with this power pairing of key accessories and a chic little black dress. An animal print heel is a great wardrobe highlight piece. Use it to add an element of interest to a casual jeans and basic tee look, or to vamp up a sleek day-to-night lbd. You can do the same with a statement clutch and pair of lust-have drop earrings. Natalie x
At the autumn/winter collections in Paris this week one of the biggest trends to emerge is the "no rules" approach when it comes to day or night dressing. It's glamour all the way with heavily embellished or opulently patterned floor sweeping evening dresses being styled with fur trimmed slides or the shoe of the season a flat black leather ankle boot, preferably a lace-up or military style. Closer to home have a look at some of your favourite party pieces and see if you can give them a dress-down spin with a casual trainer. Look for oversized evening clutches in leather or suede for that bit of edge. Natalie x
Make it a frill with a spill when it comes to spring/summer dressing. It's all about the one-shoulder dress with a bold ruffle detail, a perfect twist to take you from day-to-night, beach-to-bar. This seersucker style from J.Crew also comes in a sugary pink. Channel some of that retro style with a platform sandal and oversized sunnies. Step it down with metallic flat sandals or espadrilles and a pom-pom embellished straw tote. Natalie x
- J.Crew dress £174, 2. River Island sunglasses £14,3. Kate Spade earrings £83.70, 4. Topshop sandals £32
Fashion's gone back to the 80's which is not entirely a bad thing especially if you pick out a few consumer friendly pieces. Like a slinky stiletto court. It's the perfect little pick me up to a sleek and chic jeans look. You'll find similar fabulous bright red suede styles at Mango £35.99 and Whistles £140. You could switch your statement courts for a statement chandelier earring instead to channel that 80s power vibe …or do both! Natalie x

Seven people were also injured in clashes between followers of a Sunni Muslim cleric and supporters of the militant Shi'ite movement Hezbollah.
Tensions continued in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Monday, a day after three people were killed and seven injured in clashes between followers of Sunni Muslim cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Aseer and supporters of the militant Shi'ite movement Hezbollah.
Streets were deserted and schools across the port city closed, as the Lebanese army was deployed to the area.
"Army troops have received clear orders from their command to open fire on any gunman," Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said.
The clashes occurred in the Tameer area, on the outskirts of Sidon, when followers of al-Aseer began removing banners hung by Hezbollah to mark Ashoura, a 10-day Shi'ite religious ceremony.
"It will be over my dead body if Hezbollah is allowed to erect one banner from now on in our area. We will not keep silent on the blood that was shed on Sunday," al-Aseer was quoted in the local media as saying.
Al-Assir has repeatedly criticized Hezbollah for backing the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Many Sunnis in Lebanon back the Sunni-led rebellion against Assad.
The violence in neighboring Syria has in recent months spilled several times into Lebanon, with opponents and supporters of Assad clashing in the northern city of Tripoli.

As the ugly and often bizarre nature of Argentina's debt default played out in public, Eric LeCompte pushed for a single solution: an international bankruptcy process for sovereign nations.
leCompte's meeting with Pope Francis
LeCompte, executive director of Jubilee USA Network, a religious group advocating for humane debt relief in an increasingly struggling global economy, had met with Pope Francis on the issue, noting the humanitarian issues the world would face without an organized method to deal with the growing problem.
LeCompte's prayers were answered Friday, as new rules being developed by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), whose members include debt issuers, debt purchasers such as middlemen such as banks, is adopting strong measures to address the issue.
The new rules target the exact tactic that many of the "vulture hedge funds," as critics characterize them, use to disrupt previous debt agreements such as that with Argentina. In other words, if a majority of investors agree to a debt restructuring a minority of "holdouts" cannot overturn the previous agreement.
"The actions of ICMA are impressive," LeCompte said. "It really shows there is a global consensus to stop this predatory behavior."
Argentina – ICMAmay use contract clauses to bind all bond-holders
The ICMA's plan would use contract clauses to bind all bond-holders to any debt restructuring agreement. Under the plan, the "pari passu" or parity clauses would require would-be hold-outs to accept restructured bonds approved by the majority of creditors. The ICMA plan states that all bondholders must accept a deal approved by 75% or more of a country's creditors, a clause that would have prevented Argentina's hold-outs from litigating for full repayment. The International Monetary Fund is set to propose similar guidelines in late September.
While approving, LeCompte noted one problem is time. "While this is another step in the right direction, it doesn't solve the immediate problems. Without statutory approaches the behavior won't be slowed down for 12 to 15 years," he said.
As he has been warning, the issue is spreading beyond Argentina. The Argentina/NML precedent could have a global impact. Last month, two hedge funds succesfully sued the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for $68 million, including roughly $50 million in interest on loans dating back to the early 1980's. According to United Nations figures, the DRC is the world's second-poorest country. Meanwhile, the Caribbean island nation of Grenada is currently facing a pari passu lawsuit in US courts.

To the editor:
Ms. Kieffer, in her letter of June 24, should be wary of making broad brush stroke comments such as, "the government does not have any sense or do anything humanitarian unless it is for another country, unfortunately."
"The government" isn't some mass floating out, in modern parlance, the cloud, but is comprised of people working daily in government at all levels. That said, that "the government" doesn't do anything humanitarian unless it's overseas is so inaccurate as to be shameful. Firefighters work for local government and they do humanitarian deeds on a pretty regular basis (or so my nephew, a firefighter in Tennessee tells me). The Kansas National Guard, an organization of the "state" (quotes added for emphasis) of Kansas, regularly gets called out to help Kansans (and on occasions in other states) after disasters. And, while not strictly humanitarian, what about teachers who work for USDs or at "state" universities and colleges?
That's just at the state and local level. Employees in numerous federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (during droughts), Corps of Engineers (during floods); or FEMA (after disasters) and many others do humanitarian acts here in the U.S. of A. Even the Department of Defense has a role in disaster response in the U.S. if needed. In fact I'll wager that the vast majority of government employees aren't involved in any work overseas. I'll leave the other half of her statement, that government doesn't have any sense for someone else to address.

Demons are Hell's residents and rulers of the Second Kingdom. Demons tend to be characterized by bloodlust, cruelty, utter selfishness and brutality. In fact, most demons use no weapons in battle save for their own claws, talons, and fangs. Though they have some projectile weapons, demons generally have a very low technology level, preferring raw strength and skill.
Unlike the Angels, demons have few qualms regarding whatever methods they use to achieve their ends. For example, the angels abhor necromancy, but it is common amongst the armies of Hell, as seen on Earth.
The Chosen, while frequently mistaken for demons, are in fact creatures far more ancient from the Abyss, explaining their non-humanoid body structure and any features that could not have descended from an angelic ancestor.
Demon society appears to be a sort of feudalism based on a violent meritocracy, where one's position is determined by the level of power they possess. There are many powerful demons that carve out their own domain by virtue of their own prowess, but all are sworn to a single ruler of great power, currently the Dark One. The ruler's position is not set in stone, however, as a sufficiently powerful demon may overthrow him and assume the role. Samael, for example, was believed to be next in line for Hell's throne prior to the Apocalypse.
Little is known of Hell's hierarchy, but it can be assumed based on conversations that "Prince" is the highest position (ex. Lucifer being "the Dark Prince") and "Lord", while not the highest, is considered a prestigious rank.
Notable Demon CharactersEdit
- Belial - A demon lord that ruled over a portion of Hell's forces on Earth under the Destroyer.
- The Destroyer - A draconic demon, formerly the leader of the Hellguard and leader of Hell's forces on Earth.
- Lilith - A female demon that is responsible for transforming Abaddon into the Destroyer and creating the Nephilim
- Lucifer - The ruler of the Second Kingdom, also known as the Dark One or the Dark Prince.
- Raciel - A former angel who transformed into a demon that commanded a force of demon mercenaries during the search for the Abomination Vault.
- Samael - A rebel demon prince that the Destroyer imprisoned in the Scalding Gallows and was once next in line to the throne of the Second Kingdom by virtue of his great power.
- Vulgrim - An insidious demonic merchant that sells the Horsemen abilities, items and upgrades in return for Souls or gilt.

1984, A year that brought us the Apple Macintosh, an Eastern Bloc boycotted Olympic Summer games in L.A. and an immolated Pepsi-touting Michael Jackson. As an aside, it was also in this year that the first robot related death in the United States was reported at a factory in Jackson, Michigan; in your face, James Cameron!
In a year of aforementioned excitement, replete with flaming pedophiles, killer robots and political tantrums, 1984 saw the release of what was arguably to become a minor cult favorite film, The Neverending Story.
She looks older.
The Neverending Story, a pharmatropically fantastic tale indicative of the genre circa 1980's, follows the (mis)adventures of a young lad named Bastion through a fantasy world (would you believe 'Fantasia') not unlike that of the Labyrinth, although without quite so much of a budget. And no David Bowie either. Come to think of it, it is nothing like the Labyrinth.
"Don't touch the hair…"
Bastion is a shy youth, perpetually taunted by his peers. To complicate matters, his mother is no longer a member of the air-breathing club. Quite frankly, I believe Bastion's father, Gerald "Major Dad" McRaney, did her in with his cholesterol-in-a-glass morning multi-egg beverage.
Four parts raw huevos, one part O.J. - WTF?!
Naturally, Bastion finds himself at odds with his misdirected, yet caring father and does what any confused youth would do in this situation; he flees to the nearest pedophile.
"Bastion, your mother is Delta Burke."
En route to his destination, Bastion narrowly escapes a menacing gauntlet of wedgies from a trifecta of hood-rats. He cleverly accomplishes this by dumpster diving before well before Hollywood hackers popularized the sport.
Narrowly escaping, the venue to which Bastion has fled is a bookstore. This of course is a natural place for any shy and introspective protagonist. After grandpa McKosherPants grills Bastion of his recent scuttlebutt, he is introduced to a mysterious tome which he is summarily instructed not to touch – unlike the shopkeeper's magic pants.
"Oy! Have something for you I do…"
Again, Bastion does what any confused youth would do in this situation; he robs the old man of his book and runs.
"Exhibit A - dun dun dun"
As Bastion is now a thieving Felon, he decides that a little B-and-E might help his cred out in the joint. Thusly, Bastion sneaks into his school after hours and ascends to the rafters as an encroaching storm looms near.
F.U. authority!
I believe this to be either a special-ed room or where the teachers go to smoke.
What the hell kind of Amityville Horror school is this?!
Gathering his thoughts, Bastion grabs himself some floor and cracks his still smoking hot book. It is here that the story "takes off" as it were – takes off like the shuttle Challenger.
NOTE TO YOUNGER READERS: The space shuttle Challenger, officially, "blowded up" shortly after launch.
Our story drops us promptly into an odd little gathering of panoply freakshow creatures. Said creatures appear preoccupied with their respective idle business until a calamitous event, or some sound engineer rattling sheet metal, spooks them into flight.
As Bastard-er Bastion continues to read, we are transported back to Fantasia's palace-o-power for a bit of storytelling. Mace Windu laconically informs us that a terrible force is plaguing the land; The Nothing!
"This counsel recognizes you as a member, but you are not yet a master…"
As Fantasia is comprised of myriad something's, the spreading Nothing subsequently nullifies their existence creating in its wake, well, nothing. Right then, you get the picture. Enter protagonist number two: Atreyu – A.K.A. Battlestar Galactica's (1978-1979) adorable rascal, Boxey.
"Oooo, time to accessorize…"
As many fantasy film adults of the 1980's inherently lack a natural ability to save the world, Boxey is given a magical happy meal prize and charged with a quest to save Fantasia from the Nothing.
Atreyu sets off on his journey across scenic Canad-err Fantasia atop his trusty white steed. It is not long before Atreyu realizes he is now on the wrong side of the tracks, or rather in a swamp of sadness.
"Nooo, Wilbur, that's not a carrot…"
To his chagrin, Atreyu loses his ride at this point. The horse apparently succumbs to a nihilistic fit of depression and decides to slowly sink to its death in runny oatmeal. Both Boxey and Bastion are saddened.
F'ing Boo-hoo!
Atreyu, now without his equine buddy, loses sight of the objective at hand. He briefly contemplates a career in oatmeal breathing before a giant tortoise is encountered.
Jimmy Carter?
That's right, a big, friggin' turtle! And get this, it talks. To be sure, the giant talking turtle has nothing relevant to say thus infuriating Atreyu.
As everyone knows, all reptiles and cold blooded creepies exhibit a propensity for catching colds. This turtle is no exception. He sneezes so hard that our androgynous protagonist is blown off his perch into the beckoning oatmeal.
"Mmm, needs brown sugar…"
All appears lost. Suddenly, a pink, flying dog-dragon-worm creature swoops down and rescues Atreyu from certain breakfast-type doom.
I hope that's its paw.
Upon awakening, Atreyu is a bit confused and unnerved at the sight of a flying cotton candy hot dog. Thankfully, the creature is quite intelligent albeit sounding as if it has down syndrome.
"Don't stare, don't stare, don't stare…"
Puff the magic dragon informs Boxey that he has taken him like %99.99 of the ba-zillion miles to his destination. This is convenient as his horse, even if among the living, would likely not have survived the journey. I understand this is fantasy, but even as a youth, I found myself questioning this dichotomy of logic.
Now closer to his destination, Atreyu chances upon a friendly, old gnome-like couple.
"Woman, go make me some chitlins!"
The old man appears to have a penchant for inventions and domestic abuses. He invites Atreyu up to his homemade lookout tower upon learning of his quest for the Nothing. It is here that Atreyu learns he must pass through Fantasia's equivalent of airport security in order to proceed to the Southern Oracle.
Hmm...those sphinx ladies tell me it must be cold
In a terrifying scene burned into many a youth's mind, Atreyu dashes through the gates of Morador amidst a barrage of deadly disco laser beams.
Curiously, one may wonder why Atreyu did not simply fly pink rover over this trial, thus circumventing possible harm.
Safely past his first trial in the desert, Atreyu meets with a second during a freak snowstorm: Looking into a mirror. No B.S.
"Candyman, Candyman, Candyman…"
Apparently there is something deeper to this trial as both Atreyu and Bastion, though by proxy, go ape balls. Thankfully, both eventually realize it is just a bad hair day – perpetually so in the case of Bastion's flowbee / bowl cut.
Atreyu proceeds through the mirror and wanders aimlessly. Bastion reads further and ponders life, the universe and everything.
"I am SO going to be raped in prison."
Atreyu stumbles upon an old friend of the sedimentary variety. Unfortunately, this creature now complains that the rocks are empty and no longer satisfy him; he blames the ballooning Nothingness. I say if you are on the rock as long as this chump, it ain't the Nothing that fails to satisfy. Get help, man!
Just say NO to the rockman!
Atreyu, in a moment of great compassion, ditches his junkie friend and ambles about the ruins of a forgotten city.
The writing is on the wall.
Suddenly, Atreyu is not alone. A wolf-creature, puppeteered by a narcoleptic high school shop teacher, reveals itself. Atreyu questions the wolf of its business to which it fills him in: It is an agent of the Nothing and has been stalking Atreyu since the oatmeal swamp.
Atreyu, we learn fights pretty well – for a girl.
"Damn it mister man, my manicure is ruined!"
Atreyu coolly dispatches the wolf with a conveniently available "object of sharpness". (d6 +5 damage to retarded wolves)
As fate would have it, after viciously impaling the wolf, all hell breaks loose. The Nothing has spread itself to virtually every corner of Fantasia. Atreyu is relegated to riding his pink hot dog (...) about the scattered ruins of Fantasia.
The picture says it all.
Alas, not all hope is lost. A small, though important nibble of Fantasia yet remains intact. In said nibble resides the Child-like Empress whom I would have immediately named Jailbait upon her request.
Are you a little boy?
Jailbait, in a grand attempt to save her crumbling kingdom, magically reaches through the fabric of reality and appeals to Bastion through their common lexical medium.
"I wonder what's on T.V.?"
Disbeliever Bastion however requires a bit more persuasion. Jailbait readies her waterworks and delivers a sad tale.
"I don't want to die a virgin!"
The Nothing, she explains, is a manifestation of peoples' disbelief. In order for Fantasia to exist, someone must believe. Bastion acts as accordingly.
Go tear off a piece you lametard!
Jailbait demands Bastion name her, an act that would fulfill requisite belief in line with Fantasia's continued existence. After much hedging, Bastion complies.
"Please, I have virtually no gag reflex…"
Upon review of the DVD, I cannot make out the name Bastion shouts; however, if one is to read the book, I believe the name is some hippy invention such as moonbeam or moonchild.
Impending disaster thwarted, a recently named Jailbait presents the last remnant of Fantasia to Bastion. She instructs him to wish for Fantasia's rebirth by way of Atrayu's McCharm, also convieniently found on the cover of Bastion's stolen book.
"Smell my finger…"
Like it's a tough decision. If only New Orleans could rebuild this fast.
Bastion takes a flying hot dog nickel tour of the new and imporved Fantasia, flashing by the films' various characters in the process.
"I'm the king of the world!"
What would a great children's fantasy film be without imbuing life's important moral lessons such as theft and revenge upon its impressionable young audience before ending? LAME! That's what.
Dorks, pt.2
That's right; Bastion rides his pink demon right out of Fantasia and into the heart of the city to gleefully exact sweet, sweet revenge upon his previous tormentors.
RUN motherf'ers! AI YI YI YI YI YI YI
And that's about how it went down.

Though you might be interested in more power for a home defense pistol, the key to success on the streets is concealability. Having a .45 in your pocket might sound great, but good luck firing that with all the recoil in such a small package. Instead, a smaller caliber can often get the job done just as well without the unnecessary bulk or harsh recoil. Keeping that in mind, this Glock 42 380 ACP was outfitted with all the right tools to get the job done right.
With 6 rounds of .380 ACP loaded, you can carry this G42 with confidence as you go about your business. The simple action makes it easy to draw and fire the weapon without worrying about the safety. More importantly, the included Viridian Reactor Red Laser makes it easy to point and shoot. This model also includes 2 magazines and a holster, which ensures you are ready to start carrying concealed.
If you are looking for a subcompact pistol that is perfect for those shooters with a small frame, this G42 is excellent by itself. The addition of the Viridian laser makes it the perfect option, unlocking the full potential of the pistol and giving you the point and shooter performance you need.
