Jono and Jake, Thursday morning

...and uncomfortable. If he thought about that, then he'd have to think about why he was pissed off, about the heartbroken look that had come over Jean-Paul's face before it had shuttered and he'd withdrawn completely. If he thought about that , he'd have to think about why he was out in the godforsaken Scottish wind and snow, a stone's throw from the goddamned Artic Circle, looking for someone who ...

Ungaro news

...through several stylists and two chief executives since couturier Emanuel Ungaro retired in 2004. A spokeswoman for Ungaro said Moufarrige's departure had nothing to do with Lohan. "Mounir Moufarrige has withdrawn from serving as president of Emanuel Ungaro in order to devote more time to his other businesses, namely, in the watch and jewellery industry," the statement said. Moufarrige hired...

Seasons of Love - Mid Summer

... sprung back into its normal state. Soft fingers brushed against his arm, startling Legam. He jerked up with a short yelp, tensing in the direction of the invasion. Leliana sat next to him, hand withdrawn, her face apologetic. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you!” She rubbed her ginger hair, embarrassed. “You just looked so frustrated and I thought you might appreciate a listening ear.”...

Breaking Skin Ch. 13

...off warning bells in Myles’s head. Myles had been the only vamp in Apollo’s Family who had really gotten close to Francisco. He was the only one who really saw the change in the Olden. Frank had withdrawn and become even more nasty than before. Myles knew it had something to do with Emily, but Frank had always been good with the ladies. There was no reason for him to have turned into such an ass....

The Independent on the American right.

... reportedly noticed a clause in the proposed healthcare legislation that would pay for old people to see a doctor and write a living will. They could stipulate when (if at all) they would like care to be withdrawn. It's totally voluntary. Many people want it: I know I wouldn't want to be kept alive for a few extra months if I was only going to be in agony and unable to speak. But McCaughey started...

Indie RPG and the Temple of Doom - Mist-Robed Gate

... to see at this stage how the Knife Ritual handles in play. And I don't like the essentially random nature of the wirework system, or the way it heavily favours outgoing, fast-talking players over more withdrawn ones. What else is in the 48 pages of PDF? Not much, really. There's a LARP version of the game, which means nothing to me but could certainly be handy for live-action players. There's a...

Another letter from the opposing viewpoint

...767 page amendment from socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The amendment would create a Canadian-style single-payer system. The clerk read the bill for more than an hour before it was finally withdrawn. Coburn and DeMint have made clear that the gloves are off and they are willing to do everything within their power to slow down and stop the Washington takeover of our health care. Call...

Red Hall

... such power over people? ' Master John', Paul thought with scorn. 'See if I care,' he reassured himself silently, his eyes, now dark, still and pensive, his entire attitude being untypically withdrawn. Yet, Paul could feel an unmistakable feeling stirring at the pit of his stomach, and it was a feeling of thick and utter curiosity. That night, the one spent at the hotel, Paul had...
