He immediately brings my research assistant (i.e.: a friend who wanted to capitalize on FM’s complimentary dinner) and I Thai Iced Teas, a dark orange and red concoction of Thai-grown red-leafed tea, specially brewed and blended with a rich swirl of evaporated milk. While bottomless drinks aren’t advertised, Nick is known to refill empty glasses without being asked...
Typically, meetings of a group like this are exercises in official decorum, with Cabinet members presenting the President with lists of options and no one speaking out of turn; White House officials say that on Wednesday the Oval Office was a swirl of activity. Chairs were dragged in from the hallway; the President's advisers leaned over one another and volunteered their assessments as more raw intelligence reports flowed in.

If the shift happens higher in the atmosphere, when the ship is moving faster, the heat and stress increase dramatically. This can sometimes make a shuttle pull to one side--just as Columbia did. Early turbulence can be caused...
...life like this, but for now I have to justify any pleasurable time that I have. But I do have dreams." Those dreams will have to wait, because selling Up! will keep her performing on the road for a few years and thrust her right back into the swirl of another dream: being the world's biggest pop singer. Just whose dream that is, only Shania Twain knows for sure...
