Gina Rosati's Anna Rogan on the Moon from AURACLE
One Giant Step for Anna Rogan
Did you know that if you leave a footstep on the moon in 1969, it will still be there today? When I saw this factoid on the internet, I didn't believe it, so I had to come up here to check for myself.
Yup, I'm on the moon. One of the benefits of being able to astrally project is I can go anywhere I want, so sometimes I come up here, especially on nights when my father is in one of his moods and my best friend Rei's not around to talk to. The first time I ventured up here, I was about five years old. At that age, I had certain expectations. I expected the moon to be a bright and happy place, because that's how it looks from Earth, so I was pretty comfuzzled when I landed on this dark, pocky dustball. I was hoping to avoid The Man in the Moon because even when I was five, he sounded kind of sketchy, but I really wanted to see that giant cow – you know, "Hey, diddle, diddle … the cow jumps over the moon"? Guess what? No cow.
At first, I felt cheated, like the moon was just a big lie. For a long time, I didn't bother to go back because the moon paled in comparison to all the other bright and shiny things exploding all over the universe. Then a few years back, after a day of verbal fireworks and parental fail occurred at my house, I needed to get away, so I bounced up here.
It's very quiet on the moon. We don't get this absolute quiet on Earth, because something is always making noise there – a bird singing, a refrigerator humming, even our own heart beating. But up here on the moon, there are no birds or household appliances or bodies. All you can hear is an absolute and overwhelming silence. The earth looks sort of small and peaceful from the moon, half of it hidden in the night and the other half all green, brown, blue and swirly white clouds. It reminds me of the yin/yang symbol. And even though I'm hovering over this dark, dusty rock knowing that down there on earth, storms blow and fires burn and people hurt each other, I'm learning to find some perspective in it all … that one good friend can make all the difference, that sometimes I need to adjust my expectations, and there is truth to the saying that light shines through the cracks of life.
And hey, believe it or not, look what I found right next to the American flag – one small step for mankind!

A/N: So…I think I owe you all an apology. I'm really sorry that I haven't been updating; it is summer after all! But I've been busy; I know that's getting old now, but it's true. I think I'm going to try and finish this up, and then focus on the other two stories, obviously three is waaaay too much for me to handle. And to everyone who has reviewed; thank you, so, so, so, so, much. I feel like I don't deserve it, and just god. Thank you. So. Freaking. Much. And, since I read the reviews – I finally mustered up the courage to do it – this is going to be Lollipops & Love Stories; to the mdbc fan who suggested Love Stories! I have no idea how this is going to turn out; but let's find out together, shall we?
Disclaimer: Don't own MDBC.
Lollipops & Love Stories
To Becca Chadwick; love stories all sounded the same. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl get married and live happily freaking ever after. In all honesty, Becca was sick of it. She would go to the movies with Ashley; and all Ashley wanted to see were the ridiculous rom-coms. Becca would honestly sit through a sci-fi movie with Stewart than watch the clichéd, stereotypical male fall in love with the sappy, hopeless romantic female. It sickened her.
Becca never used to be that way; just when she got into high school, and the guy she'd had a crush on, didn't reciprocate her feelings. She'd had a crush on Zach Norton for as long as she could remember; and he never had a crush on her. He asked her to Spring Fling; and she went with him. It was heavenly. And then nothing else happened. It totally sucked. But; when they got into high school, they had been partnered up to read Romeo & Juliet together. And that's when their love story started.
Becca walked into English that day. Not only did she hate reading; she didn't have anyone she particularly cared for in her class. Zach was though; and she often spent the majority of class sneaking glances at him, instead of listening to whatever the teacher was going on about.
"Class; we're going to start Romeo & Juliet today. You will have one partner for the duration of this; and you will have a project due. Now; to start with partners." Becca flopped back in her seat at this. Naturally, she would end up with someone who didn't want to do anything, and she would have to do everything herself. There was nothing more she despised than people who didn't pull their weight.
"Becca and Zach." Becca's jaw nearly dropped. She felt like kissing her teacher, which of course she wouldn't; that was disgusting and weird. But she got to work with Zach! That made her like this class a bit more. She looks up, and Zach grins over at her, causing her to smile back at him, feeling ridiculously dorky. The teacher hands out the books, and the class moves to be with their partner. Zach slides into the seat next to Becca; dropping his black backpack behind him, before glancing at the back of the book.
"This could be worse." He shrugs his shoulders indifferently as he says this.
"How? We're stuck reading Romeo & Juliet." Becca sarcastically tells him, with a roll of her aqua eyes.
"Well…we could be stuck with other people. I don't hate working with you." Zach glances over at his partner, and she nods in agreement.
"We should probably get started." She cracks open the cover of her book, flipping through the title pages until she reaches the first page of the play.
"Do you want a lollipop?" Becca looks up at his voice, her eyebrows scrunched in confusion.
"Do. You. Want. A. Lollipop." Zach repeats, enunciating each word, as if he was talking to a child. She shoves him slightly in response.
"Sure." Zach pulls out a bag, which is about halfway filled with various flavors of lollipops. She takes one, peeling the wrapper off and putting the candy into her mouth, the sour apple flavor filling her mouth. "Thanks."
"No problem. So, what exactly does this quote mean?"
Each day, Becca and Zach would sit in their English classroom, reading the play together, and of course; eating lollipops. Becca typically didn't eat candy like that; she shied away from it, since too much of the sugary treats would make her break out. And zits were most definitely unattractive. But Becca felt like she could make an exception.
As annoying as Becca could be, Zach realized that she wasn't too bad to work with. She did her work, and she did it well; though she didn't get straight A's like Emma or Jess, she most definitely didn't get Megan or Cassidy's grades, though Cassidy's were improving. She got mostly B's; but English was one of her stronger subjects, Zach noticed; she got above ninety on most of the quizzes and tests, earning her an A in the class.
Though she could be quite snarky, and downright mean, she wasn't like that all the time. She actually was funny, and had a good heart, though it wasn't quite obvious. As childish as this sounds; she was a bit like the Grinch; her heart was a few sizes too small, but it was most definitely growing.
"So, do you want to write the report, and I'll work on the presentation?" Zach asks Becca, shuffling the papers that are scattered on his desk.
"Yeah, I'll write the report, lazy." Becca huffs teasingly, and he shoves her arm at this remark.
"I'm lazy says the girl who made me throw her gum wrapper in the garbage because she was 'writing the rough draft.'" Zach makes exaggerated air quotes as he says this, and she rolls her eyes at him. "If you keep rolling your eyes, they're going to get stuck like that." He chastises, causing her to shove him this time.
"Shut up." Becca tells him, jotting down a few notes on her paper.
"Hey, a few of us are going to the movies tonight, do you wanna come with us?" Zach doesn't look at her as he says this, but he can feel her eyes on him.
"Me, Simon, Megan, Third, Ethan, and Ashley." Zach tells her, glancing up at her slightly. She chews her lip in thought, before smiling softly.
At the movie theater that night, Becca stands around, awaiting the movie decision. Ashley and Megan wanted to see a rom – com that just came out, while most of the other guys wanted to see some action one. Well, Simon said he didn't care; but that meant he'd sit through any movie as long as he got to sit next to Megan. Finally, they decide and go to buy tickets. Megan and Ashley had won; they were seeing the chick flick rom – com.
The teenagers moved into the movie theater, Ethan and Third followed by Ashley, Megan, Simon, Becca, and then Zach on the end. The first credits start playing on the screen as the lights dim. There's a rustling beside Becca, and she glances over Zach. He has a bag of lollipops and he grins at Becca in the dark of the movie theater.
"Want one?" Becca smiles and takes one, resting her arm on the armrest. She can hear Zach put the bag on the floor, and she feels his arm against hers. She smiles a silly little grin to herself, and settles in to watch the movie.
Maybe lovey dovey rom – coms aren't so bad after all…
A/N: So, that was L. I'm thinking of finishing this story, and putting one of the others on hiatus until this is done. I want to finish this up ASAP, but I've been facing writer's block and just everything in general. But M is half written already; it's Marry Me! There's a little sneak peek for all of you…And I'm on twitter; uniquelymegan and instagram now: uniquelymegan23. Follow me, and I'll follow back. Peace, love, hugs, llamas to all. Inspire someone and smile at a stranger.

Clearly, with all the drama behind-the-scenes with the women of the panel of ABC's morning talker The View, it's time for a man to step in and shake things up some more!
And, that guy just happens to be General Hospital heartthrob Ryan Paevey (Nathan), who will make his talk show co-host debut on the upcoming Tuesday, February 17th episode of the long-running morning show. Glee's Naya Rivera will also be along as guest co-host along with the Port Charles favorite.
Ryan and Naya, and the rest of the ladies of the panel, will welcome to the show John Slattery and Amy Morton, who will be on-hand promoting their new film Blue Bird. In addition, Ella Henderson will perform her hit single Ghost.
The View has been grabbing headlines again of late for the departure of Rosie O'Donnell, who last aired on Thursday, and Rosie Perez, who was rumored to be exiting, but instead is staying put. Although, recently surfaced reports from Radar Online say she is still on her way out the door!
Ryan tweeted an image and teaser of what he was going to be going next Tuesday below!
So, what would you think if The View had a man finally join their panel in an on-going capacity? Are you looking forward to seeing Ryan co-host next Tuesday's episode? Share your thoughts below!

Gabriel Muniz may have been born without feet, but that hasn't stopped the 11-year-old wunderkind from being signed by Barcelona.
The Catalan side have invited to fly the Brazilian youngster to Spain and their training camp in September, where he will be able to hone his extraordinary skills and meet idol Lionel Messi.
According to the Sun, Muniz's mother revealed "he started walking before he was one".
Jose Lopes, Muniz' gym teacher, meanwhile added he could one day even change the face of paralympic football.
"To this day there isn't a Paralympics 11-a-side football team, but Gabriel is showing this will have to change, because he wants to play 11-a-side football," he said.

How many of us should pay income taxes?
Published 7:46 pm, Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Should more people pay income taxes? It is widely agreed that the top 1 percent of Americans can, and should, pay more. This is no surprise It's a good bet that you'll get a majority vote from the 99 percent to raise taxes on the 1 percent.
So the top 1 percent will be paying more taxes this year. So will millions of others, including every working stiff. But let's take the question a bit further. Let's view it in the context of civic duty rather than envy.
At what level of income should we feel a need to contribute, however modestly, to the support of our government? It's easy to look at the top dogs and say: "Gee, those folks have it made. Let's have them pay more taxes." It's not so easy to look down the income scale and ask where paying taxes should start.
It's also political suicide to speak dismissively of those who don't pay income taxes. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney learned that painful lesson when he said, in a private talk, that 47 percent of the voting public received tax dollars rather than paid them. His comments were greeted with howls of indignation, and the media awarded him lifetime membership in the National Association of Grinches.
But maybe we should think on this a bit. Let's juxtapose that 47 percent figure to the ownership of various consumer goods:
Latest Business News

- Car crash at Danville Taco Bell KTVU
- Facebook: "One of the largest data breaches in the history of the company" Euronews
- Crews responding to three-alarm fire in Oklahoma City's south side KOCO

- Shopper Locked in Store During CA Mall Shooting Associated Press
1 More than 90 percent of all households have a microwave oven.
1 88 percent of households have a television in their living or family room.
1 87 percent of households subscribe to cable or satellite TV.
1 77 percent of households own a personal computer.
1 72 percent of households have a flat-panel TV.
1 68 percent of households have broadband Internet service.
1 68 percent of households have a television in their bedroom.
Does this mean it is nearly twice as important to own a microwave oven as it is to make a contribution to support, say, the Department of Justice? I'm serious about this. Pick any department of government. Surely they can't all be entirely worthless. Isn't it possible that our interstate highway system adds at least as much convenience and timesaving to our lives as having a microwave oven?
All who work, pay
Is cable or satellite TV more worthy of support than government? After all, 87 percent of households support cable or satellite TV, but only 53 percent of households pay federal income taxes. Surely our government doesn't suffer from as much waste, fraud and abuse as what's offered on television.
It has been argued that not paying federal income tax should not be confused with not paying taxes. Everyone who works pays the employment tax. The difference is that we pay the employment tax in the expectation of a direct future benefit - Social Security benefits and Medicare insurance. We get pretty upset when our friends in Washington talk about reducing the benefits. So the employment tax, like it or not, is a separate deal. It has a quo for the quid.
The federal income tax supports the daily operation of the rest of government, yet 47 percent of all households won't contribute a dime to the $3.1 trillion to be spent this year. That leaves the other 53 percent to carry the whole thing.
Poverty still no picnic
Other data suggest that those who have an income below the official poverty line have been making some material progress even if they aren't living as well as the rest of us. In a Census Bureau report, "Living Conditions in the United States, 2005," it was reported that only 36.7 percent of poor households owned a dishwasher in 2005 compared with 64 percent of all households. But ownership among the poor was still double the 18.8 percent dishwasher ownership of all households in 1971.
In other areas, the poor were on par with the entire population. While 98.9 percent of all households owned a color TV in 2005, 97.4 percent of the poor owned one.
Don't get me wrong: Being poor is no bowl of cherries. Those who have compared will tell you, "Rich is better."
So here's what I'd like to hear from you. First, should more people pay federal income taxes? If so, how would you change the tax code to make that happen? Write me at scott scottburns.com. Put "More Taxpayers" in the subject line.

After several days of upheaval, the dust seems to have settled on the controversy surrounding Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Planned Parenthood. After initially announcing that it would defund about $700,000 in grant money for Planned Parenthood-run breast cancer screenings, Komen backed down and decided to extend the grant.
The controversy focused on the divisive issue of abortion, but for communications professionals, the abortion debate is a sideshow. We're more interested in the fallout. One question everyone is asking is whether Komen can recover. The focus on this question misses other important questions -- and opportunities. For example, can Planned Parenthood convert the controversy over abortion into an opportunity to extend its brand and permanently grow its donor base?
Business consultants talk a lot about "brand value." When you think about America's iconic brands -- from McDonalds' golden arches to Coca-Cola's patented red -- these aren't just recognizable symbols, they are assets with tangible value. Non-profit organizations are no different. As the undisputed leader in breast cancer awareness and fundraising, Komen and its signature pink ribbon established a rock-solid brand identity. Yet much of that credibility, 30 years in the making, was wiped out in 48 astonishing hours. It remains unclear whether the damage can be undone.
Just as Komen's star appears to be waning, Planned Parenthood's might be on the rise. Prior to the incident, a large percentage of Americans knew Planned Parenthood solely as an abortion provider. While this is certainly a part of its mission, many were likely surprised to hear that family planning is only a small part of its overall mission of supporting a range of health care services, particularly to women in need.
Quite unintentionally, Komen handed Planned Parenthood a tremendous opportunity. In the wake of the controversy, the organization raised several million dollars -- but that pales in comparison to the central gift it received: the chance to rebrand and build a broader appeal. Planned Parenthood is at a crossroads. It can take the fundraising boost as a one-time gift and move on. Or, it can use some of the windfall to build momentum and build a permanent advantage. While it may be tempting to simply leave well enough alone, we would like to see Planned Parenthood engage a national advertising campaign that addresses the Komen situation head-on.
Here's one example: "You may have heard we provide breast cancer screenings to lower-income women," they could say. "Did you know we also provide treatment for infertility?" without backing away from family planning, Planned Parenthood has a golden opportunity for raising awareness for its spectrum of services -- and to redirect donations that previously went to Komen for the long haul.
While we would advise Planned Parenthood to undertake an aggressive PR campaign, the organization must be careful not to go after Komen directly. While Pepsi advertisements can take direct digs at Coke, the same rules don't apply in the non-profit world. The key message: when it comes to fighting cancer, we're all in this together. If Planned Parenthood successfully walks this line, it can revolutionize its brand and develop a permanently larger foothold among donors. In corporate-speak, the direct transfer of brand value from Komen to Planned Parenthood could change the non-profit world's dynamics for the long-term.

While Orioles fans lay out the chips and dip and watch the Kansas City Royals make their second straight appearance in the American League Championship Series, it should be no consolation at all that the Royals actually took a page from the O's 2014 playbook to improve their chances of getting back to the World Series.
Think about it. While the Orioles front office was busy failing to sign Nelson Cruz last winter, the Royals picked up this year's version, who now looks like the free-agent bargain of the season. They signed Kendrys Morales to a two-year contract with a mutual third-year option that will cost them an average of less than $8 million for the first two years.

Like most others, WBC Floyd Mayweather Jr. expects Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) vs. Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32KOs) to end by knockout. Garcia will defend his WBC/WBA 140-pound title against Matthysse on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The main event that evening will feature Mayweather moving up to a catch-weight of 152-pounds to face WBC/WBA champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Mayweather won't reveal his official pick to win, but predicts one of them will be laid out.
"Both fighters are tough. Both fighter are power punchers and both of them are Al Haymon fighters. If you're in sports and you don't have [adviser/manager] Al Haymon on your team, you don't have the right guy on your team. I can't see that fight going the distance. I can't really see that fight going the distance. They are both training very hard and dedicating themselves," Mayweather said.

Of great interest to U.S. firms are procurement opportunities generated from ADB's project lending and grant activities to Developing Member Countries throughout the Asia Pacific region. These project opportunities take form when officials from the ADB visit a Developing Member Country and decide on projects to be undertaken over the three-year period to follow, which are recorded in a formal document – the Country Partnership Strategy for each individual country. These projects are activated when ADB sends a fact-finding mission to begin work towards a loan package for the project. During this period, a number of opportunities for consulting services are generated, leading up to completion of the loan package and loan approval by ADB.
Once ADB approves a loan, the executing agency of the Developing Member Country prepares bidding documents for goods and services it will require, following ADB guidelines which prevail over local regulations. Again, only firms within ADB member countries can bid on these opportunities. When the bid documents are completed, the borrowing country issues an international tender, evaluates the bids and awards the contracts. It is important, however, that the ADB must review and approve the bid documents, the bid evaluation and the proposed contract award, before the contract award is announced.

I am not quite sure if this was suppose to be horror or comedy. Think Blade meets a Jackie Chan film (which is not much of a stretch because he is in it). Some decent action sequences with a campy atmosphere at times. Good for a laugh as long as you don't take it too seriously.

In the year 2014, Japan has collapsed economically and thus its people emigrated in large numbers and settled in other parts of the world. In a corner in Asia, there is a little street called Mallepa, a big melting pot where Asians such as Hongkongers, Taiwanese and Japanese live together. It was a place where people fought for order, food and freedom. It was there where Shou (Gackt), raised as an orphan and Kei (Hyde), who could live forever, met and became the best of friends. However, they were unable to escape from the fight for power involving gangs of different ethnicity on the street of Malepa...

Just something about you
The way I'm looking at you
While your looking at me
You're scared now
Don't feel me baby
You feel good right
I kinda noticed you one night
You made a front face
It was kinda weird for me to see someone so fine
If its up to me your face will change
If you smile then that should set the tone
Just be limber
And if you let go the music will move your bones
Just remember and sing this song with me
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're the girl and that's what makes me trust you
Late at night I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
People are so phony
I know cuz they own me
Aren't you sick of the same thing
They say so and so is dating
Well it doesn't matter anymore
Cuz we're here tonight
You know I'll make you happy

Here baby hold my jacket and then
Maybe we'll fly tonight
I just wanna love ya baby
Ma whatchu wanna do?
I be feeling you
Let your friends see

In the mall kick it but we keep it low
What the hell they say now?
With the same blow
Lookee here I keep it here with the same glow ???
Look at me I say yeah with the same dough
We're staying tight
You're my every night
You got me sleeping in the same bed every night.
Yo mommy you're serving the best
Take a few shots
Let it burn in your chest
We can ride now
Put Nerd in the deck
Funny how a few words turn into sex
Play all ...something something...turn in th braids???
All ya had Nigga swerve in the lanes
The name is malicious and I burn every track
You know I used to dream about this when I was a little boy
Never thought it would end up this way
You know your special right?
If you think about it
Two people
Its destiny
They'll do what they do
Now that's what it is
Now everybody dance

Hi Guys,

Whoa, that's a heck a lot of code!
So wrap all your information in another JComponent (or in an Object[]) and you're in business.Quote:
A descriptive message to be placed in the dialog box. In the most common usage, message is just a String or String constant. However, the type of this parameter is actually Object. Its interpretation depends on its type:
An array of objects is interpreted as a series of messages (one per object) arranged in a vertical stack. The interpretation is recursive -- each object in the array is interpreted according to its type.
The Component is displayed in the dialog.
The Icon is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed in the dialog.
The object is converted to a String by calling its toString method. The result is wrapped in a JLabel and displayed.
kind regards,
I forgot to add the code tags sorry guys!! I will try your suggestion about wrapping text and then adding it to a JLabel. Any other suggestions would be helpful though :)

ARTSBEAT; Reunion at Festival For 'Ben Stiller Show'
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: September 22, 2012
In a different universe television audiences would be preparing for Fox's 21st season of "The Ben Stiller Show," the freely associative sketch show that mashed up Woody Allen comedies and monster movies and wondered what structure Bruce Willis would get trapped in for "Die Hard 12," instead of morosely noting that it was canceled after half a season in 1992 (and an earlier MTV incarnation in 1990).
For those viewers who never got over this injustice -- or who simply wonder what became of Andy Dick -- the principal cast and producers of "The Ben Stiller Show" plan to reunite at the New York Comedy Festival, the festival's organizers said on Friday. The lineup of alumni who will gather for the reunion, set for Nov. 10 at the Paley Center for Media in Manhattan, include Mr. Stiller (of "Zoolander," "Tropic Thunder" and "Meet the Fockers"); Janeane Garofalo ("The West Wing," "24"); Bob Odenkirk ("Breaking Bad," "Mr. Show With Bob and David"), Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up," "This Is 40") and the ever-unpredictable Mr. Dick, as well as Jeff Kahn and Rob Cohen.
The festival is also adding a Nov. 9 event at the Paley Center featuring the comedian and actor Denis Leary ("Rescue Me") in conversation with Kate Snow, discussing a popular if vulgar holiday song by Mr. Leary that he has turned into an interactive picture book. Other festival shows announced on Friday include "You Made It Weird" with Pete Holmes; "Nikki & Sara & Friends"; and "Crowd Work With Colin Quinn."
The New York Comedy Festival runs from Nov. 7 through Nov. 11.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

First Blood (1982)
First Blood (1982)
Download link : hxxp://rapid4me.com/?f=14200832&t=First.Blood.aXXo.rar
There are two major things that Sylvester Stallone has done that I like. First is Rocky (and the series that followed) and the second is his portrayal of John Rambo in First Blood.
If you are only familiar with the Rambo sequels, this film will be a surprise to you. Rambo II through IV were basically designed for those wishing to see Rambo against an army and winning against the odds. First Blood (known nowdays as Rambo I), while it contains that as well (Rambo against a small town police force) is actually about something deeper. The use and abuse of power. In this film there are three main characters guilty of abusing their power. The first, Teasle, (Brian Dennehy) the police chief of the small town of Hope. Teasle, spotting Rambo coming into town, and having a prejudice against "drifters" does his best to push Rambo out and away from his town, in an attempt to keep his town clean. To Rambo's innocent question of wheter there is anywhere he can buy food, Teasle, in his prejudiced manner, suggests "a diner 30 miles up the road.". Teasle's manner is the reason why Rambo begins his defiant stance. Until encountering Teasle's attitude, Rambo is civil, not willing to hurt anyone, and basically is wanting to stop in town for a meal before moving on. But Teasle of course, books him for vagrancy, and does his best to overpower Rambo, because he sees Rambo as a simple drifter, and he of course is the big police chief, Mr Authority, and this is his town and his way. (Even before meeting Rambo, Teasle's attitude to his fellow townsfolk is shown, with his mumbled aside comment to one citizen, "You gonna take a bath this week?". Teasle is a guy who treats others with derision if he sees them as not his type of person. And it is Teasle's actions that sparked the events of the movie. The spark was fanned by power abuser number two though. Galt.
Galt is a friend of Teasle's and is also an abuser of his power given to him by his position in the police force. While Teasle uses mental power plays against Rambo, Galt is strictly physical. Violence against Rambo with a nightstick, a forced shower with a fire hose, repeated threats of breaking his face, fingers etc are Galt's methods. It is Galt's physical abuse that finally causes Rambo to snap and escape the police station, and run to the mountains, just as it is Galt's insistence on shooting an unarmed, cliff clinging Rambo that lead's to Galt's own death. Galt is the obvious face of abusing power in this film, and a thoroughly unlikeable character. Even up to Galt's death (and even beyond that point) Rambo is trying to both explain his innocence and defuse the situation. Galt is too obsessive in making himself "the bigger man" that he's turned a bad situation, created by Teasle into a catastrophe.
The third person in this film who is guilty of abusing their power is Rambo himself. After he is pushed too far through the actions of Teasle and Galt, Rambo starts to rely on the only power he posesses, his military training. Rambo abuses his own power against the police, by falling into the mindset that this is a war, and of course, in Rambo's mind, a war is the place, the only place, where he is in control, and where he has any power over the situation. It is shown that Rambo abuses this power, even defying a suggestion from his Commanding Officer and friend Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) to give himself up. Talking to Trautman, he refers to the whole incident as a "war", in order to not only control his actions (in his own mind) but also antagonise Teasle. Rambo's "attack" on the town (though not on any innocent civilian) is designed to show Teasle, "now this is my situation, I control it", the very attitude that Teasle started with.
First Blood is a film I saw in the mid 80's and have enjoyed many times after. It is a deeply packed film, a great action film for those who like that genre, but also a dramatic thriller and commentary on, not only the abuse of power, but treatment of Vietnam vets by society, the role of person responsibility and social commentary. (as is the novel, which I heartily recommend).
A shame that First Blood was followed by three sequels that in no way matched the craftmanship of this film.

Last Action Hero (1991)
Last Action Hero (1991)
Last Action Hero is that type of film that I think is absolutely brilliant, although not too many others agree with me.
A basic synopsis: Danny is a young film fan, who is especially impressed with the Jack Slater action films (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger). One of Danny's few friends (or probably his only friend) is an old movie projectionist, Frank (Art Carney). Frank, who seems to be as lonely as Danny, invites Danny to a sneak preview of Jack Slater IV, which Danny, who worships Jack Slater, (even to the point of daydreaming a new action hero Hamlet in his English class starring Jack Slater) eagerly accepts.
Now for the plot point that most people have a problem with. Frank the movie man has in his possession a ticket that was given to him by Harry Houdini. This "magic ticket" is used by Danny to attend the impromptu showing of Jack Slater IV, as Frank insists that to see a movie "you've got to have a ticket". Turns out that the ticket is indeed magic, and it enables Danny to enter the world of Jack Slater IV. Soon after Danny is attepting to convince Jack Slater that he is a fictional character in an action movie, helping Jack track down "the bad guys" and enabling the director to rally a multitude of in jokes, including, after Danny's attempts to convince Slater hes in a movie and taking him to a video store, a view of the version of Terminator 2 that Slater would have seen, the one starring Sylvester Stallone.
Little touches prevail to highlight the fact slater lives in a movie. All the phone numbers are 555 numbers, there is a crane for ACME construction, and no bad guy can shoot straight, and you can wipe yourself clean with a cloth after falling into a tar pit.
"Hey Yo! Hasta La Vista, Adrian..."
After a bit of this and the theft of the ticket and the escaping of the villain into the real world, thanks to Jack throwing him through a wall that the ticket has used as a portal. ("Usually when I do that it leaves a hole..." says a puzzled Slater), Danny and Jack return to the real world still trying to catch Benedict (our villain). The bringing of fictional characters into our world is used to highlight the absurdities prevelent in action films; heroes can be shot (but they are only flesh wounds), cars explode via a scratch, cops show up in droves within seconds of a crime. This is how Benedict thinks and when he realises our world doesn't work like that, he , of course, wants to stay, because as he exclaims "Here! The Bad guys can win!"
Last Action Hero reaches its greatest point when Jack Slater, in the real world, encounters Arnold Schwarzenegger, who of course just assumes Slater is a celebrity lookalike. Using the ticket, a previous villain in the Slater films returns for another showdown.
This is one of Schwarzennegger's better films. It's entertaining, it's a very good example of how Arnold can be funny, and it is a good idea. A film that deconstructs its own genre and it was released five years before Wes Craven used the same idea in Scream.
Don't believe everything you hear about Last Action Hero. It's not as bad as you will be led to believe. Of course there is suspension of disbelief involved in the magic ticket plot point, but apart from that, this film makes more logical sense than any other action film. Slater is virtually indestructable and always wins because he's in an action film. The internal logic of Last Action Hero hold together more because of this aspect, than for example Ripley in the same situation in Aliens. The reason Slater is able to do what he does is because the film sets up the point that that's always the way it is. Aliens, on the other hand, is shown to us as a possible realistic event. Last Action Hero prides itself of being fiction.
It is also my favourite Schwarzenegger film. It's damn good, if you allow yourself to believe in a magic ticket, which is actually less disbelief than you need for a lot of films.

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Download torrent at :
OK. I haven't seen all the Godzilla films yet, apart from some of the more popular (Gojira (Godzilla 1) , The Return Of Godzilla (Godzilla 1985) and the American remake, Godzilla (1998) and a few others. So with my lack of knowledge of the exact details of a lot of the Godzilla mythos, viewing Godzilla : Final Wars was a little confusing. But thats to be expected, I mean I can't expect to dip into the 28th chapter of a series and be able to follow it all can I?
That being said, I was surprised that for the touted final Godzilla film (although Toho are planning to bring him back in a year or three) Godzilla : Final Wars has very little Godzilla or any other monster in it for the first half (and a bit) of the film. What we do get is a short scene packing our monster fix in, (without Godzilla) and then suddenly they vanish.
This is where the plot really starts. The monsters have been taken by space aliens (X-ians, because they come from Planet X), who have done this to "help" mankind.
Of course anyone who has seen "V" knows this is pure "bullplop". Human kind obviously and predictably has a small group who rebel and fight back. This group, as you you would expect is a group of martial arts performing mutants. (True) Pretty soon however the Xians true nature is revealed and they unleash all the monsters they previously removed upon the Earth.

(True) Pretty soon however the Xians true nature is revealed and they unleash all the monsters they previously removed upon the Earth.
So in all this, where's our hero Godzilla? Well he's frozen in Ice after his last fight with humanity. Being the undefeatable opponent he is, it is decided to release him, lure him to Tokyo so he can help defeat the barrage of monsters that have been unleashed.
So thats the setup to the climax, which is the typical Godzilla battle scene.
The battle scenes involving Godzilla, (and the other monsters such as Mothra, Zilla (the Japanese name for the monster in the American remake of Godzilla), Rodan etc are fairly well done with pretty good special effects, although still retaining the Godzilla feel of a rubber suited man in a scale model of Tokyo. As an Australian though, I did like the fight between Godzilla and Zilla, that was set in Sydney.
Godzilla : Final Wars may have been better for me if I had watched all the others in order and not skipped about to it. However I think even so, I'd prefer my Godzilla films to star Godzilla and not a bunch of mutant ninjas.

This has got to be one of the best ideas ever for a movie. Supposedly based on some "unrelated articles" in a Los Angeles newspaper, Wes Craven , already riding high on The Hills Have Eyes and Last House On The Left, crafted this movie about a killer who stalks a group of teenagers through their dreams.
Of course, just about everyone would know that already. There wouldn't be too many people who don't already know who Freddy Krueger is. What some of them haven't done is actually watched the film.
Taken as a stand alone film, and not the first chapter in a series of 8 films (counting Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Freddy vs Jason as chapters 7 and 8), A Nightmare On Elm Street is a well crafted piece of art. The articles in the newspaper that sparked off Craven's idea, dealt with young people who had escaped the Pol Pot regieme in Cambodia, escaped to America and who died in their sleep. Apparantly they had been sufferring terrible nightmares, and became terrified to go to sleep. Eventually, when they slept and dreamed, they died. (For those interested in a study of this type of event, Hmong Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome, there is a 100+ page paper on it located here : http://www.reninc.org/BOOKSHELF/Hmong%20Sudden%20Unexpected%20Nocturnal%20Death%20Syndrome,%20Bliatout,%20Bruce.pdf )
Wes Craven took this interesting little event, joined it with something he sees as the worst evil in the world and created a very effective horror film. Originally Freddy Krueger was portrayed as a child molester as well as a child killer. This was toned down in the final edit, perhaps audiences in 1984 didnt want molestation to be a driving plot point in movies, so this aspect of Freddy's character in shown in subtext, while his child killing activities are pushed to the forefront of his character.
So what do we have? Well, we have a group of kids who all seem to be having nightmares. At the same time. About the same man. A man they've not seen before. And he's trying to kill them. Bad enough, until Freddy (Robert Englund) succeeds in killing Tina (Amanda Wyss) in her dream which results in her being dragged around her bedroom (and really around her bedroom, up the walls and across the ceiling) while her boyfriend Rod watches. Of course Rod doesn't have any good luck with this. He's just watched his girlfriend get sliced up by an invisible man while they were in a locked room. Rod soon gets carted off by the police, because he's the only one who could have done it, right? Ask Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) who has been having these same nightmares about a guy with a razor tipped glove. The very same type of cuts that appeared on Tina's hacked up body. Nancy suspects there is something more to this, and must fight to stay awake and alive.
Put like that, the plot is fairly basic, but what gives Elm Street its charm is that, as star Robert Englund says in "Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy" is that it is "a damn good story". It's such an original idea, and original ideas are where good, or entertaining films spring from.
The whole scary notion in Elm Street is that the only safe place is awake, and its impossible to remain in that safe place forever. It is inevitable that the kids in this film must end up in Freddy's stalking ground. It is this feeling of these kids not being in control that gives this film its tension, and makes the heroine's struggle against Freddy all the more heroic. Elm Street is a classic story of good triumphing over evil, and is the most creative, well planned and produced piece of art. The only problem is a tacked on ending allowing for the return of Freddy. Though, while this spoils the whole meaning of the climax, it does allow us 7 sequels, which is a good thing.

Well here we go. My first review on here for quite a while, and I choose a remake of one of the best 80's slashers around. The remade My Bloody Valentine.
A while back I saw and commented on the original My Bloody Valentine from the early 1980's. I am going to try and not compare the two as it always comes off worse for the remake, in most cases. (There are a couple of comparisons I will note after though).
So not comparing to the masterwork from the 80's, is this a good film? Yes it is, for a slasher film of this decade. While it is structured as a whodunnit, it is structured quite logically, and when the killer is revealed, it is believable and has a rational reason for the killing spree. Rational for a slasher fim at least. My Bloody Valentine was originally shot in 3D, and runs the risk of having some stupid looking shots when viewed in 2D. Friday the 13th Part 3 and Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare fall guilty of this. A pole or something shoved directly into camera so we can all marvel at 3D can look pretty stupid without the visual effect. The shots in My Bloody Valentine designed to give a shock 3D effect don't come off as too bad in 2D. (Obvious yes, but not out of place)
So what do you get when you view My Bloody Valentine? A good smattering of Blood, nudity, mystery, Blood, gratuitous violence and blood. This is a particularly bloody film with a few head meets pickaxe scenes. For those wanting no more than a gore fest, this is the film for you.
There is a downside though. For me at least, none of the cast, with the exception of Tom Atkins, appealed to me. It was a bit like, "sit through ten minutes of tedious acting until the next axe attack" . I know a lot of the films I enjoy have worse acting than My Bloody Valentine but they are still likable in some way. The cast of this film didn't do it for me. And that's a shame, because it is well constructed in other ways.
OK the comparison points. Harry Warden, the mad miner, in the original had that cool little origin of being driven mad after being trapped in a cave in in the mine for 6 days. Add a bit of cannibalism and there's a nice little origin for a villain. In the remake, Harry is a cold blooded killer for no real reason. However the rationale for the films killer is much much better in the remake than the original.
My Bloody Valentine is a hard one for me to classify. I am still not sure if I like it or not. I doubt I will watch it again any time soon, but it is well written and graphicly violent enough for a slasher, so I'll give it hmmmm. 3 and a half Darios, only let down from the acting.

Scream (1996)
Scream (1996)
Download link: hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=N9P693I6
Every once in a while, a horror film comes along that is well made and well designed, and uses the genre in a way not seen before. One such movie is Scream. Unfortunately the creation of a good film like this inspires countless clones and inevitable sequels which detract from the quality of the original.
Scream starts with a good idea, a killer is stalking people in a small town called Woodsboro, and dispatching them in horror movie fashion gory ways. Sounds like its been done before. But this killer is used in the film to satirise the whole field of horror movies, from the killer being a very obsessed student of horror films, (He corrects the first victims answer that Jason was the killer in Friday The 13th) through to the other characters acting as though they are characters in a horror film, which of course, they are.
A clever idea, although it does backfire on itself. All the primary characters, especially the rather annoying Randy, played by the equally annoying Jamie Kennedy, take the "rules" and conventions of a horror film as absolute gospel truth.
The good points of the film outweigh the negatives. It is a very well crafted whodunnit, with a logical, but unexpected reveal of who the killer is. It does satirise the genre well, (one of its aims), and caters for the expected quota of blood and shock scenes. It is also quite clever. The mask used by the killer is based upon a painting called "The Scream".
It is hard however to view Scream as a solo film. It is touted now as the the first chapter of the Scream Trilogy, a series that starts out good and rapidly declines in quality. Scream also was the inspiration for other "whodunnit" style slashers such as Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine and other boring as hell films.
If only Scream was a solo film instead of a chapter in a trilogy (soon to be four films).

I like Halloween. I like the series of Halloween movies. I even can tolerate Halloween :Resurrection (barely). I can see good points in Rob Zombie's reimagining of the concept in his Halloween (2007).
I, however, cannot bring myself to like this film. I can appreciate what Zombie is trying to do, in taking the mythos of Michael Myers in a different direction to the original series, but surely he could do it in a way that makes some sort of sense. Did you know that even though Myers' mother shot herself in the head last film she still hangs around Michael? Zombie does. Did you know that the appearance of her with a white horse is supposed to mean something? Zombie does, (or he is trying to be very Twin Peaks like). Did you know that you can get your victim out of an impossible situation by using the old Dallas trick of... it was only a dream? Zombie knows this quite well. In fact he uses that old, annoying and downright lazy trick more than once in this film.
This film is confusing as hell. Is Michael dead? Is he back stalking Laurie? Is Laurie mad, is she the only sane person? Is Michael even there for all the film? How the hell can his dead mother be around? How the hell can Laurie see her? And why is the white horse so important that it keeps cropping up?
The answers are......never revealed!
Damn lazy effort Rob Zombie.
One and a half Darios because of some cool death scenes.

an Intro
Hi Ladies!
I thought I would give an intro for myself since I have been hanging around here so much...spending money mostly:banghead:.
Anyway, I am very unexpectedly pregnant with number 4, due 1/8. This has been an eventful pregnancy already! At ten weeks I found out I had a 3 foot long blood clot from my hip to my ankle! Now I am taking injections twice a day. Baby seems healthy so that is all that matters!
Look forward to getting to know you all :lostit:
Re: an Intro
Congrats and welcome!
The blood clot sounds super scary. Glad you and baby are doing well. :)
Re: an Intro
Congratulations and welcome!
Sorry to hear about your blood cloth! My sister had a cloth a few years ago and when she got pregnant she had to do shots. Not fun at all!
Re: an Intro
How scary about the blood clot!! Hopefully you get it taken care of with relative ease :(
Congratulations on the new little one on the way, and welcome ;) I've been finding myself spending money stash-building quite a bit too!
Re: an Intro
welcome, and wow, that is some blood clot! hope it resolves and the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful! I am here too with a surprise, number 5!

Agreed. I have been saying that I like what I'm hearing so far, but of course I want to wait for the final product or at least more details before judging. Its waaaay too early to say whether or not this movie will be good or not.

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola is "honoured by Inter's interest in me, but I still have a year on my contract."
The tactician had been top of the wish-list after Jose Mourinho renewed his commitment to Real Madrid.
"I am honoured by Inter's interest in me and they are a great club," said the Spaniard in today's Press conference.
"I still have a year on my contract with Barcelona. In any case, before anything else I have to talk to the team and the directors."
Guardiola speaks Italian thanks to his time as a player in Serie A for Roma and Brescia from 2001 to 2003.
He is still only 40 years old, but has already won the Champions League, Club World Cup, European Super Cup, two Liga titles, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.
Barcelona are on the verge of securing the Liga again this season and will face Manchester United in the Champions League Final.

over the WMD in Iraq question; their side basically "I can't believe anyone still believes in that!" This despite the recent news of the last of more than 500 TONS of yellowcake uranium being removed from Iraq(you know, the stuff we'd been assured by that clown Wilson that Saddam didn't have?). I gave up on it; they were stuck in the "BUSH LIED!!!" theme.*
Well, ran across this today at Theo's place: Historical Revisionism, parts 1, 2, 3. Including
When former [Iraq Survey Group] weapons inspector [David] Kay reported to Congress in January [2004] that the United States had found "no stockpiles" of forbidden weapons in Iraq, his conclusions made front-page news. But when he detailed what the ISG had found in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence last October, few took notice [my emphasis].
Among Kay's revelations, which officials tell Insight have been amplified in subsequent inspections in recent weeks:
• A prison laboratory complex that may have been used for human testing of BW agents and "that Iraqi officials working to prepare the U.N. inspections were explicitly ordered not to declare to the U.N." Why was Saddam interested in testing biological-warfare agents on humans if he didn't have a biological-weapons program?
• "Reference strains" of a wide variety of biological-weapons agents were found beneath the sink in the home of a prominent Iraqi BW scientist. "We thought it was a big deal," a senior administration official said. "But it has been written off [by the press] as a sort of 'starter set.'" [again, my emphasis]
• New research on BW-applicable agents, brucella and Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever, and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin that were not declared to the United Nations.
Yeah. Bush lied, etc. Uh huh.
I once told my daughter(and later a friend) "Someone wants to bitch and yell about Bush, fine; there's some things over which I'd like to kick him in the ass and ask "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" But if you're going to bitch, at least bitch about real things, not made-up bullshit." Problem is, the lies and revisions took hold so well that an awful lot of people just don't know that some of what they're yelling about is bullshit(kind of like what's been done to Palin, for that matter).
*They didn't want to worry about that probable(we now know it was) nuclear site in Syria the Israelis bombed; "Gee, I wonder where the stuff came from; could it possibly be from-" was obviously a distraction from "BUSH LIED! For HALLIBURTON!!!" type stuff.

A mum claims supermarket staff refused to help her when her toddler daughter went missing in a store.
Amber Denyer, 25, says a manager in the Tesco Extra store in Batley, Bradford, would not assist her when she said two-year-old Layla was lost.
A security guard also allegedly refused to look on the CCTV monitoring screens for the toddler on the basis he was 'not allowed to'.
Frantic mum-of-three Amber says she was left to search the aisles of the store herself for twenty minutes. She eventually phoned her father and asked him to come to the supermarket and help her - fortunately she found tearful Layla by the store's checkouts just before he arrived.
"By this time I had lost all hope," Amber told her local newspaper. "I was literally running up and down the aisles. I didn't know whether to ring the police, I didn't know what to do."
The relieved mum said her little girl was very upset and begged her not to tell Father Christmas that she had wandered off!
"All she said was 'don't tell Santa'. I think she thought she was going to get into trouble," said Amber, adding that Layla had become 'clingy' since the incident and 'was not herself'.
The angry mum has now filed a complaint with Tesco. The store's head office issued an apology over the incident, but Amber says she is still waiting for the Batley store manager to call her and explain what went wrong.
"I'm not trying to get a free shop," she insisted. "I just don't think they understand how upset I was. I just want an explanation."
A spokeswoman for Tesco said the company had 'strict procedures' in place for missing children, and they she was 'very sorry that they weren't followed on this occasion'.
"We will be taking immediate steps to remind our staff in the store of their responsibilities," she added.
Poor Amber! Have you ever had that heart-stopping moment when you realise your child has wandered off in a busy supermarket or shopping centre?

WORLD BRIEFING | ASIA; Kyrgyzstan: European Group To Send Police To Monitor For Ethnic Violence
By MICHAEL SCHWIRTZ
Published: July 17, 2010
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe agreed to a request by Kyrgyzstan's provisional government on Friday to send police monitors to the south of Kyrgyzstan, where ethnic violence last month left hundreds dead. But it fell short of the outside help Kyrgyzstan's leaders have been pleading for to help quell tensions among ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks, who clashed in four days of rioting in June that destroyed much of the southern city of Osh. The agreement, which requires approval by the organization's 56 member countries, would provide 52 unarmed police officers to assist and monitor the Kyrgyz police, with the option to send 50 more later.

Mental evaluation ordered for Philly bomb suspect
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- A federal judge in Philadelphia ordered a competency evaluation Thursday of Preston H. Lit, the 53-year-old Philadelphia man arrested on federal charges in connection with mailbomb scares.
Federal prosecutors requested the evaluation at an initial court appearance before Judge James Melinson. Lit's attorney did not object, saying that his client had a "significant mental history."
Lit, wearing a white T-shirt and baggy black pants, was brought into court wearing handcuffs, which were taken off for the proceedings. He was not wearing a belt or shoes.
Lit said he wanted his own attorneys to represent him, but seemed confused when Melinson asked who they were.
When asked if his attorneys knew he was in court, Lit replied "They have TVs in their office. They were watching 9/11 when it happened."
Melinson appointed a federal public defender to represent Lit in Thursday's hearing after meeting with his sisters and the attorneys.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
Lit's parents said their son was diagnosed 12 years ago with a bipolar mental condition and has been in and out of mental institutions and jails since. Also, the suspect is known to the Secret Service because of a "rambling" letter he sent to then-President George H.W. Bush in 1991, a law enforcement source told CNN.
'Free Palestine' message
Lit was charged with threatening to use explosive devices, relating to items found at mailboxes in Northeast Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday, the FBI said. But FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Lampinski said, "We have found no credible evidence to link" Lit to terrorist groups and "certainly not to al Qaeda."
A package found in a northeast Philadelphia mailbox on Monday detonated as authorities tried to defuse it. No one was wounded in the blast. A message attached to the bomb said "Free Palestine" and mentioned al Qaeda.
A suspicious item found near a mailbox Tuesday, along with a message that said "Free Palestine," was initially treated as a possible bomb, but turned out to be sneakers.
Lampinski said the FBI brought in two bloodhounds from California that helped them find the suspect. The dogs took a human scent off fragments of the device that exploded and tracked that scent from the mailbox where it was found to the building where Lit lived.
Lit was arrested Wednesday soon after he was accused of dumping trash in a neighbor's yard. A local bomb squad and FBI agents searched his home Wednesday night.
In an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court Thursday, authorities said they found styrofoam of the kind used in the bomb that detonated Monday, markers of the color matching the markers used in the notes, and nails and screws similar to those used in the device.
'Patriotic individual'
Meanwhile, Eugene and Rita Lit, who live in Boynton Beach, Florida, compared the condition of their son to that of John Nash, the schizophrenic Princeton University mathematician portrayed in the movie "A Beautiful Mind."
The Lits said their son has not been on his medication for six months because of side effects, which included tremors and diarrhea. Even when he was on the medication, he still developed symptoms of his mental illness, they said.
Lit's father said his son served in the armed forces and is "a patriotic individual."
"I can't believe he's involved in something like this," the father said.
Lampinski said he couldn't elaborate on Lit's motives, but he speculated that the actions he is accused of "could well be a copycat event."
Postal sources told CNN handwriting on material dumped in the neighbor's yard Wednesday matched three letters found in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state capital. Two were addressed to President Bush and one to Pennsylvania Gov. Mark Schweiker. The return address on the three letters was "Royal al Qaeda Headquarters," sources said.
The Secret Service has the letters to the president, and the FBI has the letter to the governor, the sources said.
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said evidence seized in connection with the case includes at least two postcards addressed to Bush and "possibly a letter or package as well." Another law enforcement source said the suspect was "of record" with the Secret Service because of an incident back in 1991 in which he sent a rambling letter to then-President Bush.
Lit was taken into custody as part of a joint investigation involving the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Philadelphia Police Department and postal inspectors.
Authorities were tipped off by a neighbor who reported seeing a 1991 four-door Buick Regal in the area of one of the suspicious packages and gave the license plate number to authorities.
Lit had been arrested and released Tuesday night in Oley, Pennsylvania, near Reading, where he was questioned about outstanding warrants from Florida, sources said. Lampinski said that was before the alert went out on him in connection with the Philadelphia bomb.
According to a criminal history released by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Lit had at least two arrests in Florida, in 1992 and 1993, stemming from attempts to elude police, for which he faced a variety of felony and misdemeanor charges.
The ultimate disposition of the charges appears unclear, although the FDLE data showed that several of the charges were dismissed because Lit was mentally unable to stand trial.
Authorities also said Lit had other previous run-ins with the law, including stalking a local TV personality in Philadelphia and trying to run over a security guard outside the television station.

Hi^-^ darn this is going to sound sooo creepy and all and I understand if most of you judge me and all and I understand it so yh^-^
Basically my partner and I do this thing where they drink my blood. We do NOT think that they are a vampyre at all we just enjoy it and well each to their own^-^
Neither of us have any form of disease or anything like ever engaged in intercourse as were both abstanate so nothing like that to worry about. They have an extremely high immune system. So basically we've assessed the risks and we agree it's safe. They don't have a large amount at all only a little and theyve never felt ill after doing this ever.
Now about the spell:P Well recently they've said my blood hasn't been tasting too great and I was wondering if any of you could kindly help us in creating a spell to sweeten the taste of my blood or just change it so the taste is great^-^
We'd appreciate any suggestions on the spell^-^
I fully understand how strange a question like this is but we all enjoy different things right?^-^

The Greatest Husband Award for this weekend goes to my husband, who gave me a CD for Valentine's Day.
Which wouldn't be such a big deal, if it weren't for the fact that it was the music that was playing in the operating room when I had the twins via c-section. And that my husband called the hospital and asked them to track down what music it was, since we just remember it as "Spanish guitar music."
Any other nominations?

Chapter 1 – How It Began
I came back for you, it doesn't mean much now, not to you. I couldn't feel anything when I found your body. It was cold. Too cold for the room, too cold for life. I knew that if I had been there you would still be alive, and it would be you kneeling over my cooling body instead. I should have died for you. I had always promised to. What are promises though? Are they flesh and blood? I'd never thought so before, promises were just words. Empty threats to the world. I don't know why I'm writing this, I've never turned to writing before. Perhaps it was seeing what the world has become that prompted this piece of emotion. I don't suppose this will ever be read, and if it is, I don't know if anyone will understand it. If it's those beasts we call men words will mean nothing, this last part of me will just become kindling. The world has finally fallen. It wasn't supposed to be like this, we were supposed to succumb to Global Warming or Nuclear Warfare. Instead we had been denied the only ends which might have made sense. At this rate the world won't exist long enough to notice the polar caps melting or the air burning. Well, people won't. But I was always brought up to believe in hope after all I was a child of hope, so I think I have to write what has happened, what is happening. Maybe there still exists pockets of land untouched by this madness and when we've all died out they'll emerge to salvage whatever left.
It began ironically with life or more precisely with the creation of life. The world had reached a state of peace for the first time in millennia but it had come at a cost. The years spent living under nuclear power development and endless drugs meant to cure every problem had left most people infertile or carriers for mentally and physically debilitating genetic illnesses. We needed children more than anything else. In some ways that is what had led to the peace we now enjoyed, the need to fix a greater problem as one.
We had the knowledge and with a peaceful world our greatest minds could be used for something more useful that creating machines of war. It seemed like such a good thing, a big step in a direction which could change the world forever. It changed the world. Now we are left with its effects, a decimated population and burning hulks of concrete, our greatest cities turned to rubble.
I am not a scientist; I was always more of a dreamer so all I really understood about the project was that it was working on altering the way our DNA interacts when a child is born. They added chromosomes, re-wrote our DNA and cheered when a mere five years later the first child was born. Maryl Elizabeth Dowell was born to Jaret and Sybille Dowell on the 8th of July 2227 AD. She was a symbol of our world's progression and a beautiful child too. Maryl was monitored for the first 16 years of her life to monitor her natural growth and her body's responses to the varying stages of development.
For the first five years the only remark made was that she was slightly more boisterous than other children and reached her development markers slightly ahead of her peers. After that these feature petered out and she resumed development at a normal rate, although it was noted that the knowledge she had learnt earlier helped her to develop into an intelligent adolescent. After fifteen years people began to demand that the process be rolled out to the general public since it had shown no adverse effects. It's funny now to think that they could have watched her whole life play out and still never predicted what was to come. In 2244 the first batch of genetically engineered children was born, a total of 1500 of which 1487 survived birth. From then on the numbers only increased as scientist began using their DNA modifications to make other changes to foetuses creating fully tailored children to anyone who wanted them. It seemed like such a good thing as we saw the end to inherited diseases and children who lacked any natural deformities.
I was born in 2244 and was one of the first children to see the effects of our generation. My parents loved me more than anything and placed me in all the best schools which meant that I was mostly in class with other GENIES which is what we were called. They wanted us in different education to make the most of the early childhood boost we were born with and I had to attend class with boys and girls who were in their own way expected to change the world. For the first few years no one really accepted that there was a problem with the boys. They made it out that boys are naturally more rowdy than girls and it would fade away like it had with Maryl. It wasn't until we, the first, turned eight and they saw an escalation in the problems among the boys. They began displaying signs of instinctual violence against everyone but their parents. However even they were only left out for another year. All the boys were taken for testing and they began to see that the problem was more than bad parenting or lax teachers. These children were actually regressing at an astonishing pace. Things they had been advanced in like reading and writing were being pushed away as their brains started changing. They were filled with high levels of adrenaline and it became almost impossible to calm them for long. Understandably people were terrified by the idea that their children were becoming more and more primal and there was a mass protest against the world's governments to find a way to fix this situation.
All those high and mighty minds came back together and began testing children more carefully, comparing the males with their female counterparts. They saw no changes from Maryl timeline in regards to the children when education and social situation were taken into account in any of the girls they examined and determined that when changing the DNA nature had taken over at some point trying to rectify the interference of science with natural development. It had made connections which had not been accounted for and, some might say, reverted back to base 0, Alpha man at its earliest. It took them a year to come up with a stopgap solution, a new drug which subdued baser urges and instincts, in order to give themselves time to find a more permanent fix. They ceased the production line and anyone carrying a male child was made to abort regardless of the stage of the foetus. I remember this part of history though I myself was only just about to turn ten. I remember boys being brought back into class in small test groups. Their minds not the same as before but at least able to focus more and less bent on disruption. They were drugged to the hilt, slow and compliant but still they progressed at an astonishing rate.
I remember how my parents reacted when they found out the boys were back, first there was denial followed by fear and soon eclipsed by anger. They were angry at the schools for allowing it, angry at the government for suggesting it, but most of all angry because for the first time in my life they regretted me. They weren't the only ones either to regret or even resent their children and cases of abuse towards the GENIES became common. If we hadn't been created then these monstrosities of children would not have existed and I cannot forget the hatred geared towards the girls for not sharing the same imperfections of their own boys.
It's strange, but as I read over what I have written I notice that I have yet to acknowledge us as sons and daughters. I know we had parents, I even remember how my own looked, but I also remember how they looked at me after a time. How people stopped calling us their children and just referred to us as those Rats short for lab rats. Some were even vying for our human status to be removed although this never went through. It was a terrifying time to be a GENIE and it didn't matter that we were children because no one could see us that way. The only other noticeable thing which happened in my 9th year was an advancement to all the girls over the course of two days. It didn't matter about their ages and when it was over everyone could tell that something drastic had happened but it took a further month to pin point what and why.
