Who wrote this book? (Middle School Fantasy)?
Chapter Thirteen
Crime and Punishment

Anders rubbed his aching ribs and then ran a claw along his neck.
Nothing. Not a spatter or stream of blood. And no redness whatsoever.
All day, up until this very moment, he had been running off pure adrenaline
and what seemed to be a lucky charm. First, he managed to break away from the
scholar, who must have been in some connection with the Spider Tribe.(How
else could he be so informed?) Now hed fallen at the will of someone he thought could be
trusted. Shockingly, this someone had lured him into the seclusion of the Mayors
Court and threatened him with a knife!

Sherlock Holmes was EXCELLENT ! Downey’s portrayal of Holmes was pretty accurate if you’ve read the books.

As far as older films, I noticed someone mentioned "First Blood". Worth watching. The later Rambo movies just were too much over the top.

Its hard to pick something that is "edge of the seat" constantly without falling victim to a lull as every film does need a break in the action.

Gone in 60 seconds was good. (Original or remake.. You choose.)

The original Batman. Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker was simply outstanding and the film itself is visually stunning.

The remake of "The Blob" (1988) was horrifying, disturbing, and pretty graphic.

Mostly it depends on Genre and what you would be interested in seeing.

How do I get the tousled hair look?
My hair is naturally straightish. If I towel dry it, put mouse in, & flip it over to blowdry & scrunch, it just looks poofy. Not wavy at all. Plus, I can’t curl it with anything because it falls out within 30 mintues. I need some desperate help.


Try using heat rollers, they give it a lot of body and a little extra curl which would last for a while

Hart’s War

Hart's War
Hart’s War (2002)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: Shortly before the end of World War II, young, bright-eyed, First-Lieutenant Thomas Hart, a third-generation desk-warrior, is stationed in an office miles away from any fighting. He meets the war only by accident and is taken prisoner. During interrogation, Hart faces a test of honor, courage, and sacrifice he had not prepared for. Surviving the interrogation, the horrified Hart witnesses courage and honor in the acts of his fellow-prisoners, who save him from certain death by sacrificing their belongings and even their own lives. At the POW camp, Hart learns that courage, sacrifice, and honor are much harder to find, as men become embittered in their captivity. Instead, fraternization, opportunism, and racism abound, ever-encouraged by the murderous Nazis, lead by a grounded Luftwaffe colonel; and mostly tolerated by the senior-ranking American colonel, in spite of his being a 4th-generation military offcer. Col. McNamara, mostly indifferent to the goings-on of his Americans, defiantly draws the line at racism, saluting even the Russian “Untermenschen” in the neighboring compound. But this line becomes much less distinct as two downed African-American pilots join him in the American compound. Suddenly, American racism manifests itself and escalates until one of the pilots is murdered, and the other is accused of murdering one of the racist conspirators. A law-student before the war, Hart is appointed by McNamara to “defend” the court-marshalled pilot, where Hart learns that McNamara has taken great pains to guarantee a verdict of “guilty” against the lone African-American. For many prisoners, the war would be over. For Hart, it has barely begun, as he fights to find within himself the courage and honor that seems to be completely lost within the camp, and only to be had among the dead and the condemned.

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.50

Plot: Romantic comedy: Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will’s story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. On the campaign, Will’s best buddy is Russell McCormack. They not only have similar political aspirations, they share the same type of girl problems, too. Will hopelessly attempts a “PG” version of his story for his daughter ad changes the names so Maya has to guess who he finally married. Is her mother Will’s college sweetheart, the dependable girl next-door Emily? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, he apolitical April? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad’s romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it’s definitely never too late to go back…and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.

Husband to Wife rape?
Had a works night out the other night and me and my husband both came back to the house very drunk. We had sex that night and fell asleep instantly.
In the morning was watching the morning news and he came downstairs with an erection showing through his briefs. I however was hungover and really not in the mood. I pretended not to notice.
Obviously he had other things in mind and he approached me. I looked at him with my "no" face on and he sat on me. I tried to get up but he put a hand on my breast and pushed me back on the sofa. I started talking to him explaining that I wasn’t up for it so early but he just looked at me and said "you’ll do what you’re told".
Getting annoyed, i playfully hit him across the face which was definitely not a good thing to do. He practically ripped off my dressing gown which was all that I was wearing and took a hold of my neck! Getting a bit scared I said to him that maybe later today we could have a much better session and he didn’t take that for an answer. Again just telling me "you’ll do what you’re told".
He then proceeded to bite me and grip onto me, stuffing himself into me. I’ll leave the details. But let’s just say he was not gentle or loving. Very animalistic.
I don’t understand it. Why did he all of a sudden feel this overpowering desire for me. He is a good man and we are a good couple and nothing like this has ever happened before. Forced sex has always been somewhat of a fantasy of mine but I never seen it in such a scenario as this. I just found it so random. I hadn’t done anything to upset him or seduce him.
Any answers would be great!


if it was forced whether you are man and wife most states still see it as rape. you could have him arrested. as to the why he did it that is something you will have to ask him.
vampyre4blood | Feb 08, 2010


If you do not want sex and didnt encourage him I would say it is rape. Its the womans right to say NO and mean NO.
Little Minx | Feb 08, 2010


Wow…sounds fun to me, but i wasn’t there, and bottom line is no means no, no matter who you are. In my opinion, yes this constitutes rape. Maybe he thought you were going along with him and was super horny…..how was his actions afterward. If it really made you uncomfortable, talk to him about it.
MZ. RO | Feb 08, 2010


rape is about power and control this may be a underlying condition in his mental status but either way if he does it to you he may do it to others maybe you were just the warm up
reeseg1 | Feb 08, 2010


Right here is the deal.

Rape is rape if you said NO to any sexual intercourse or touching even if it is your Husband or long term partner.

Rape is someone sexually interacting with you against your will.

You can go to the police and get him charged but this I imagine will ruin your marriage

Talk to him explain how you feel.

The ball is in your court, do you feel that you can approach the subject privately or make him aware off the Law.

I recon you should have a word with Woman’s Aid and have a chat. It is private and confidential and they only act on your behalf with your permission.

But you did play on which wont go in your favour, men in general need simple commands and you play slapping him is telling him its game on. So live and learn.

Sex can be boring or exciting, he probably came down to spark things up, since you both had a good night out.

You may have given him the wrong signals, and like most people are not aware off that rape still stands in marrige and long term relationships.

EDIT——-

By the sounds off it you went over your head saying its rape as you have not mentioned how much forse you made to stop it and your only consern is him being spontanious, God it is such a turn on when guys are spontanious.

And he probably rememberd that a bit off dominationg sex is your fantasy.

Your hangover clouded your judgment.
Hawkeye85 | Feb 08, 2010


no where in your post did you say you didn’t like it. you may not of asked for it but you said forced sex is a fantasy sooooo……how was it?
J5 | Feb 08, 2010


This clearly sounds like rape.
Slappy Slapowitz | Feb 08, 2010


Maybe you said forced sex is a fantasy of yours and he was trying to give you that fantasy but it didnt go over very well. You may have mnetioned something while you were drunk. It sounds like you need to talk with each other.
The Napster | Feb 08, 2010


Well, have you ever told him of your rape fantasy? If so, there is your answer. He is just trying to help you out. IF NOT, your husband just raped you. And that should leave a sour taste in your mouth. Rape is never O.K.
chiliredkitty | Feb 08, 2010


No means no and yes he did rape you, he was violent and raped you, if done this now expect more to come down the line. he is not a loving good man if forced himself onto you, if he was such a good man would not done what he did and got up and said "okay love later be fine" instead he stuffed you and was rough. do really want to remain married to a man who raped you, i certainly be gone and pressing charges could do it any given time as seems got it in him to do it already!

you said no, also had your no face on, you tried to get up but got pushed down, your dressing gown ripped off you, he bit into your skin, and forced himself inside of you. you were scared, tried to talk self out it, and he still didn’t except no for an answer = rough violent rapist! just because at one point fantasied about it doesn’t mean it to become reality, you didn’t play along you said no and meant it. yes he raped you and i am sick to others blaming the victim all the time, they make it out as your fault all because of past thoughts and idea’s, or because what wore or because married, these people make the victims scared to come forward. a doctor can tell if woman was raped and should get checked out, as forced entry has damage to the front of your vagina where were forced into, while normal sex is scaring to the top of the cervical area instead, this in itself will prove that were raped. its serious matter as if done it this time can do it again thinking your fine with it when your obviously not if asking this kind of question! if not feeling right on it time to leave the home for while, be safe instead sorry when could become more voilent where more scared and worse off from it! don’t listen to others who ask "did enjoy it" or "how was it" all because of a fantasy, a fantasy is just that not reality and in reality right now you were scared, didn’t want it and got hurt, its rape whatever way others try to sugar coat it!
seek help and talk to rape victim centre for other women and men who suffered as you just did help you though this hard time! good luck
Mum of1 | Feb 08, 2010


I agree with J5, you’ve been having fantasies about this for a while, so when it finally hit you, how was it? You said it was random, but did you like it or not? Rape is if you don’t like it and you don’t want it… sounds like you dreamt about it! Maybe not what you expected but, maybe you told him before about this fantasy and he was finally playing it out for you… I don’t know. You said he was a real animal and you fantasized about this for a while… put them together and sounds like you had fun! Next time, think about your fantasy and go with it. Or get mad at him when he’s not hung over :-P
DJ19 | Feb 08, 2010


Um…I found that kinda hot…I’m just saying…I do what I’m told…

WW2 – Did Italy pose a threat to the United Kingdom or the United States?
June 10th 1940 – Italy declares war on the UK
December 11th 1941 – Italy declares war on the USA

But did Italy pose an invasion threat or could Italy launch aerial attacks on these countries?


- Italy could never constitute a threat to either of these two nations:
During the Battle of Britain (Operation Sea Lion) were sent by Mussolini to bomb England of inadequate BR 20 bombers, escorted by the ridiculous biplanes Fiar CR 42.
In the desert between Libya and Egypt, the Italians took only a few pieces of desert at Sallum and Sidi Barrani and then were swept away by the British offensive.
Rim of ‘Ethiopia, after the initial capture of Kassala in Sudan and in Berbera in Somaliland. the Italians were subjected to the attack by the British and after a valiant initial resistance were defeated at Keren and Amba Alagi.
In the Mediterranean, the Italian fleet never attacks Malta, but was attacked by the English fleet at Taranto, where they were sunk 3 Italian battleships and Cape Matapan, where the Italians lost three heavy cruisers

The only success of the Italians in the Mediterranean was when human torpedo (nicknamed pigs) Alexandria attacked and damaged two British battleships Valiant and Qeen Elisabeth
Americans, found themselves with Operation Torch in Tunisia for the first time the Italians and not worry about it much.
Upon landing in Sicily, the Americans had some damage only from the Motorized Division Livorno, who attacked very well in depth, to the beaches of the landing, but then was badly damaged by fire against the coast of the big guns of the allied ships

The Historian, is back!… | Feb 03, 2010


Italy was a military joke. It barely conquered Ethiopia, and had trouble beating Greece although having more than three times the population. It declared war because it was required by its treaty of alliance with Germany. Its main contribution to the war was nuisance value and providing a staging ground for German assaults in North Africa and in the Mediterranean.
tham153 | Feb 03, 2010


Italy could potentially pose a threat to British colonies in Northern Africa and wreak havoc on shipping through Suez. However, their army lacked competent management and their industry was not barely strong enough to produce the quality and amount of armaments it would require.

Italy posed no real threat to the US, but this seems more to be a political move. Germany did not pose an imminent threat to the US either when it joined Japan in a declaration of war.
SPLENDED! | Feb 03, 2010


Italy was a military joke. But, Italy’s campaigns in Ethiopia and in Northern Africa ‘posed a threat’ to oil shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, Suez, and the Red Sea, as well as a threat to the supplies in the Middle East. Italy’s military campaigns were also implicitly backed by the formidable German war machine. Churchill and Stalin perceived the Axis threat to Mideast oil to be so grave that their countries essentially occupied/conquered Persia/Iran during WW2.
W.C. Felcher | Feb 03, 2010


Well, Italy was mainly focused on North Africa. If the Germans had invaded Britain, though, Italians would have joined in the fighting as well. Italy really wasn’t a super major power in WWII. Think of it as Australia, but on the Axis. They were a major force on one front (Pacific for Aussies and Africa for Italians) and a minor one on the other (Europe for both.) So alone, no the Italians couldn’t have invaded either country. They declared war because Germany was at war with them.
