How Cumulus could cast a shadow on KTIK, KBOIDon Day | March 14, 2012
RBR-TVBR reports that big changes could be raining down from Cumulus Corporate. An escalating battle means the company is taking steps to bring more of its programming in-house, eschewing syndicated programs from Dial Global (formerly Westwood One), Premiere and others. Even ESPN could be swept away by the clouds.
If this plays out like the story intones, KBOI & KTIK would be severely impacted. KBOI is anchored by Rush Limbaugh – and despite current issues on a national scale, Boise is Rush-country. Rumors that former presidential Mike Huckabee might be the in-house pick for Rush's timeslots abound – but he won't pull the ratings Rush does.
It's unlikely that both Limbaugh's program and the ESPN deal would come open at the same time. But we'll take them one-by-one:
- ESPN. If Cumulus decides to part ways with ESPNR it causes some major changes for KTIK – starting with its brand name. "FM Sports 93-1″ or whatever they land on won't have the power behind it that the "worldwide leader" brand holds. While KTIK brands itself around Caves & Prater as well, ESPN holds down massive amounts of time on the station – including evenings and weekends – not to mention Mike & Mike, Cowherd and Scott Van Pelt. Jim Rome comes to the station via Premiere — but who knows if that's safe either. ESPN would be left in a bind. If the ESPN contract comes up, two groups will make a play: Peak & Impact. While Impact doesn't technically program a sports station now, you could easily see it re-consolidating the two KINF stations (FM & AM) back to one frequency and doing sports on the other.And while I'm in the middle of wild speculation – whatever happened to this (the station shuffle to move-in a new FM frequency)? The FCC says construction permits for KSAS and KQFC are up. We go down that rabbit hole here for this reason: I think the smart money on that new FM move-in would have it landing in Impact's bucket… and they're going to need something to put there. TOTALLY wild speculation.
The other ESPN wannabe will be Peak. Despite all that… bankruptcy… stuff – those stations will end up in someone's hands. And KFXD/Sports 630 is still in need of programming. This winter, PB picked up NFL playoff programming from Dial Global – a HUGE get. KTIK didn't have the Super Bowl this year — KFXD did. Whoever ends up in charge will want it badly. I'm sure they'd be willing to trade Fox Sports over to Cumulus.
One other note. I watched KTRV's final local program – the Potato Bowl pregame show in December. It was hosted by Matt Loveless, Stacey Skrysak and Larry Polowski. Jeff Caves joined the show, and Polowski asked him an oddly phrased question : "So ESPN and KTIK, you guys are going to stay married together forever right?" It seemed like a type of reference to the KTRV/Fox split — but then Jeff's answer was very non-committal and said "who knows how ESPN wants to play that card, and we want to provide it for the foreseeable future – but there's no guarantees." Why did he ask that in the first place? Why was Jeff's answer so weird?
- Then there's Rush. If Premiere and Citacumuldel don't come to terms, then what? In Boise you are going to have the same two players: Impact and Peak. Peak would love to put rush back on KIDO. They were NOT happy when they lost it (remember this?). They'd be more than happy to put him back on the station. Likewise for Impact which just sniped Savage from KBOI and is clearly on the prowl for more content.
One other thing: I heard rumblings last year that someone else wanted to light up a talk station in Boise. It didn't come to pass – but will it?
There's a lot of worse case here for Cumulus Boise. Even though it's obvious corporate wants to bring thing in house – how far and how fast will it escalate that desire? While it has some programming on the shelf, it the items it hands to the competition – in Boise at least – could prove to be very problematic from a competitive standpoint.

If you want to know why the NBA is a joke, watch a replay of the last five minutes of this game: a free throw shooting contest, at least for the Thunder who got EVERY call. I'm not a Warriors' fan, I hate David Lee and Klay Thompson looks to me like the Tin Man, but this performance by the refs made the Jordan Rules of the 90s looks like first-class officiating. Westbrook didn't just go over the back, he smack O'Neal in the head. But the hits started long before: obvious calls with replay to verify were blown, and the only thing David Stern will see is happy customers.
A joke.

Peter Frampton Talks New "FCA! 35 Tour" Concert Video and CD Packages
Fans who missed seeing Peter Frampton on his recent tours celebrating the 35th anniversary of his classic 1976 album Frampton Comes Alive! can now get a taste of the experience in the comfort of their own homes as, this week, the guitar great released separate video and CD packages culled from the treks.
The FCA! 35 Tour: An Evening with Peter Frampton video, available as a two-DVD set and a Blu-ray disc, features footage from a pair of concerts Frampton played this past February, at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater and New York City's Beacon Theatre. The audio collection, which is subtitled Best of FCA! 35 Tour, is a three-CD set that boasts performances from various shows on the 2011-2012 trek that Frampton handpicked himself.
Each show on the FCA! 35 Tour featured a full performance of Frampton Comes Alive! followed by a set that leans heavily on songs from Frampton's most recent studio efforts, 2006's Fingerprints and 2010's Thank You, Mr. Churchill.
Frampton tells ABC News Radio that the concept of the trek apparently really appealed to his fans, noting, "It worked out incredibly well, and it was probably one of the most successful tours I've done in the last few years, definitely."
As for the new releases, the veteran rocker admitted that while the DVD and Blu-ray were relatively easy to put together, he nearly bit off more than he could chew when he decided to compile the CD set.
"I thought, for the CD, instead of making it the same tracks [as the video], I've got 116 shows, I might as well make it the best of," he explained. "So then I, like an idiot, decided to do that and I had decided to take quite some time off after the tour and realized I didn't really have the much time off at all because I was working on the CD package."
He added, however, that he feels the time he put into the CD collection paid off since it resulted in an exceptional-sounding set.
"The CD is really well worth it, I think, because [the songs on it] are more or less my favorite musical moments of the whole tour," he maintains.
Among the video's many highlights is an appearance by Peter's son, Julian, who performs two tunes with his dad -- "Road to the Sun," which the younger Frampton co-wrote and sings on Thank You, Mr. Churchill, and a soulful cover of "I Don't Need No Doctor."
"Having him on the DVD is fantastic," Frampton tells ABC News Radio. "I'm a very proud papa when he is…singing with us…There's nothing quite like it, actually, than to have one of your children come on and take over, which he does…and he does a marvelous job."

Chay Genoway makes NHL DebutSt. Paul, MN (WDAY TV) - Tonight, he showed the state of hockey that he has the tools to compete at the top level.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
We heard from former Sioux Chay Genoway at six about making his NHL debut. Tonight, he showed the state of hockey that he has the tools to compete at the top level. Playing in the season finale against playoff-bound Phoenix, coached by another former Sioux Dave Tippett.
Genoway in the number 47, logged 18 minutes of ice-time, including some time on the power play. He had a few blocked shots and finished even in the plus-minus. He also got into the scoring column in the 2nd, taking it along the far boards, Mikko Koivu takes it from there, and feeds Dany Heatley, who banks it in off the leg of the Goaltender. A former Wisconsin Badger is responsible for Genoway's first point. I think he'll take it. But, Phoenix spoiled the party; the Coyotes score the next two goals in route to a 4-1 win. Genoway was named the 2nd star of the game.

The Jobs Corp. has just released a passel of new products including the iPhone5s, which offers the ultimate safeguard against the growing and sometimes lethal crime of cel-phone theft.
The i-5s will only work for the person whose fingerprint is scanned into it.
Such a system wouldn't fly for one of the most lethal weapons in America: the automobile. Any drunk can stick a finger on an optical scanner.
But Apple's adaptation of an already widely used security technology could be applied to another product even more lethal than cars. (No, not the cigarette.)
Fingerprint scanners should be adapted for all firearms. No match, no shoot. No more dogs accidentally wasting their masters, or worse.
The Nutso Rifle Association and its elected moonhowler minions have blocked gunlocks for years.
However, what was once a taboo can become mainstream in a short time. Recreational marijuana use jumped 10 points nationally in just the past year.
An innovation is no good without smart marketing. Witness churches.
Have you ever stopped to think about religion sales?
St. Peter and the followers of Jesus set about proselytizing the world and naturally met with resistance.
In order to break through people's preoccupations and prejudices, you gotta have a gimmick, something I'm sure the apostles realized millennia before carnivorous MadMen roamed Madison Avenue.
The selling point had to be that the new, improved God is better than the old God your parents worshipped-which is basically the same reason that the Oldsmobile is no longer being manufactured. Bad name. Turned off the horny kiddies looking for a big back seat.
Sts. Peter and Paul came up with a world class marketing gimmick: Our principal prophet rose from the dead. Top that.
Oh, by the way, he was conceived in the biblical version of in-vitro, not by the messy old-fashioned method. And best of all, it turned out that he was God himself.
Thus was a Jewish community organizer from Nazareth marketed as the new, improved God of the gentiles.
It has proven to be a very successful campaign gimmick for more than 2,000 years.
When Sony co-founder Akio Morita green-lighted the Walkman, he was advised that it would never sell. It required wearing earphones, something associated with hard-of-hearing old people.
Not to worry, said the old man. We will make wearing headphones in public cool.
Which is exactly what Apple can do for scanner gunlocks.
It won't take more insane school shootings such as happened here Monday.
It simply requires a smart marketer to make gun locks cool.
Apple will get $89 million in corporate welfare for moving some operations here. Let them earn it.
A hip iGun available in many colors?
A concept to die for.
Esté bien. Haga infierno.
Be well. Raise hell.

Among the recent announcement of some NAB 2012, Panasonic is showing off its new card microP2. That all high-speed transfer of pro video shooters come to expect from their hardware P2, but in a package size of SD card. Panasonic also showcased an accompanying adapter can be used to create new micro-sized card that is compatible with PCMCIA-based hardware, but they will need a firmware upgrade (at a cost not specified, of course) first. Of course, that's still in the future, because it will hit the market until the spring of 2013. See our gallery for more pictures and a little after the break to see the press release.

So I'm sure we all have Facebook friends that post crazy, amusing, disturbing things about god. So what are the worst or most amusing things that you have seen? That and do you ever respond to these posts or just ignore them or even just delete people from your friends list? Furthermore how have other people reacted to your own posts about Atheism or subjects that might go against the faith of friends or family?

Religion. A.K.A. a mind eating slug.... Sometimes I wish people would send this kind of crap to me so I could rip it to shreds and send back the pieces (that's a metaphor obviously...). Apparently people in Australia are either atheists or smart enough not to send religious junk to atheists.
If only we could really blame a mind eating slug.... it makes it so much more confusing that they don't have something causing their lapse in logic.
A friend of mine has posted this at least a couple of times. I don't respond or else it'll turn into an argument with him and is far right-wing Christian friends. This from a guy who didn't have a job for YEARS and made money hustling pool. He lived with me and my (now estranged) husband for several months, but could never seem to have the money for his rent. I had to ask him to finally move out, though we maintained our friendship. He's also 1/2 Eskimo and receives free healthcare but is so against it for anyone else. He is the perfect example of one who has no problem judging others and condemning them though he's exactly what he despises about others. I just don't get it.
As for how my Christian facebook friends respond to my left-wing political posts and posts on religion and atheism, they keep very quiet. I try not to post anything attacking them, so they really have no reason to be offended. They abide by the facebook etiquette...if it's on MY wall, keep you mouth shut. If I post it on THEIR walls, then they have reason to be upset. Surprisingly, I haven't lost any "friends" in awhile. Maybe they just can't help themselves and wait to see what I'm going to post next! LOL
I think I can accept the handgun... you know as protection from the radical militant fundies that will start to come out of the wood work as they continue to lose more control in our nations affairs.
Response: "Is that because they are both used to kill?" }:)
"I believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted him as my personal savior. One facebooker has challenged all believers to put this on their wall. In the Bible it says, If you deny me in front of your peers, I will deny you in front of my Father at the gates of Heaven. This is simple. If you love God and are not afraid to show it."
I saw this one today for the first time in a year or so. It's bAAAAAk! Ugh. Why can't people do right by their god and have an original or reverent thought pertaining to said god? Too bad the woman who posted this is a friend and someone who I care not to upset over something like this. *sigh* So irritating.
To me this is just as bad as those post this or you will have bad luck for 7 years things or the Bill Gates will donate $ for every repost of this status etc.
Nothing like giving all the credit of your own hard work and success to someone else willingly. Just like when that plane was landed in the Hudson safely and how you started seeing by the hand of god pictures. I was like no... those people are safe because of damn good pilot named Chesley Sullenberger who has flown for the airline for 30 years. Not to mention had years of military training flying an F-4 Phantom and attended the Air Force Academy during which he was part of the glider program there.... I'm thinking god didn't figure into this much
Oh, but 'God' chose the pilot whom he had ensured had had all that training so that he was in the right place at the right time so he could save those people that would otherwise have died...
Of course, if they had died, then that would have been part of "God's plan" all along....
One is left wondering whether this deity doesn't have some multiple personality disorder... }:)
Generally, religious posts on facebook take 3 forms
1. Thank god I achieved X (so do you want the pat on the back or not?)
2. Thank god I received X (and next year for your birthday you're getting a Dean Koontz book from me)
3. Just have faith (either about having faith god will supply your needs, or have faith and stop thinking so much... Either way advising apathy is a great way to get things done)

The Department of Transport and Main Roads helps local government-owned transport operators, private bus and ferry operators, taxi and limousine companies and regional air operators to develop efficient, sustainable and flexible transport services. We also remove the barriers to access and mobility, and encourage smarter travel choices.
This project is part of our work to understand how you use our park 'n' ride facilities, the current levels of demand and the future park 'n' ride infrastructure needed across south-east Queensland. It builds on previous surveys undertaken in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Between 8 and 24 October 2013, our contractor Traffic Data & Control will visit all bus, train and ferry park 'n' ride facilities in south-east Queensland to count vehicles and collect number plate information. The contractor will display signage when they are present at park 'n' ride facilities.
The data collected through the survey will assist in planning and improving public transport routes, services, infrastructure and customer information.
It will help ensure we understand the benefits of new infrastructure and its impacts on travel behaviour, as well as informing future works.
There will be no community impact, and no personal data such as name or street address will be viewed or recorded. Registration numbers will be recorded and matched with the vehicle's home postcode. The data contractor will destroy the collected data when the project is completed.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the 2013 park 'n' ride survey, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

about Sarah. He said, "You just go and te11 her to come back. We're not a-going to hurt her. She doesn't need to fear anything. There isn't a Mexican in this country who would harm your mother in any shape or form. When you get out there, you te11 her to come back, and ail of you come back." Heaton gave them a cow and calf because the rebels had taken ail their food. Most of the Mexican families along the way were friendly and the herders knew many of them. The Revolutionists had just about robbed them of everything they had. The group of men continued to dnve the cattle forward and topped out on a flat mesa called "Dry Lakes" which was a good place to water al1 the livestock. Since it had been raining there was plenty of water in the lakes. They forged ahead and passed a ranch where there was a Mexican named Martinez.

i am agree
On May 20, 2012, there were two important events in Russia.
First it was the victory of Maria Sharapova in Roma, second Malkin was the best ice hockey player at the World Championship 2012.
He was recognized as a puckster who made the most considerable contribution to the development and success of his team.
He won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player, the Art Ross Trophy as the league's scoring champion and the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL's best player.
Citing Malkin's 50 goals and 59 assists, commentators unanimously heaped praise on what they said was the 25-year-old's best season both in Pittsburg Penguins and Russia's national team. At the 2012 World Ice Hockey Championship in Helsinki and Stockholm, Malkin was acknowledged as the tournament's most valuable player who scored 11 goals and made 8 assists in 10 matches. During the championship, he played in the capacity of center forward of what local media described as the Red Machine.
Noted Sovier puckster-turned-coach Alexander Yakushev particularly praised Malkin's returning to ice after a serious injury.
"Malkin's performance throughout the season showed that he remains one of the best players in the NHL and the world, Yakushev says. This is something that he proved when playing as part of Russia's national team during the 2012 World Championship. He added significantly to our team's victory at the tournament, and his performance should be an example to look up to by his teammates and amateur players in Russia and beyond."
Pittsburgh Penguins' head coach Dan Bylsma said that Yevgeni Malkin made both his teammates and rivals to mention his name in superlative degree. Bylsma was echoed by Zinetula Bilyaletdinov, chief coach of the Russian national team, who touted Malkin as a backbone player and a real professional who does his job with a huge drive. Malkin's teammates said that they were happy to play with him, specifically praising his desire to assist. Yevgeni Koreshkov, coach of Russia's junior hockey team, said, in turn, that a strong-wiled and self-motivated person, Malkin shows no signs of suffering from a superiority complex.
"I'm sure of such a man and player, Koreshkov says, referring to Malkin, with whom he previously played in Metallurg Magnitogorsk. He never stops, and he always tries to prove that he is the best player, Koreshkov adds, praising Malkin's personal traits. I can safely say that his winning three NHL awards will by no means turn his head and affect his performance in the future, Koreshkov concludes."
As for Malkin fans, they understandably hold out hope that he will perform brilliantly at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.

Ohh I think it does.
His injury has a very poor recovery rate... Regardless, his durability will always be an issue and as such will limit his return.
Well, not if a team is willing to eat some of it.
I agree with DFAB, that's the most likely scenario given the financial state of the team right now.
What depth do we have at starting pitching??? Assuming Dickey is gone we have...
1-Niese. A good pitcher, but not a #12-Santana. His arm is attached by duct tape. He was great. Now, he's a 5 inning pitcher who gets by on guile. Excellent chance he'll break down in July.3-Gee- Coming back from a serious medical problem. Nothing special anyway.4-Harvey- Who knows? My guess is something like 8-15 and an ERA around 4. Could be better. Could be a lot worse. A Question mark at best.5-??? Who knows? Mejia or Familia? Both stink. Wheeler in July? Probably, but who knows what he'll be. He didn't look to swift in Buffalo last year.
That gives us one proven major league pitcher who's healthy. How does that equal pitching depth?Sounds like a 90+ loss staff...because it is.
Stop believing Met PR hype. Trading Dickey destroyed our starting pitching.
God help the Mets. They are going to need it.
It was never about 2013. And what difference would Dickey make if the team surrounding him is bad?
Need to start forming future year teams... This one is a 4th place team. We knew this going in.

Middle East Cyber War Timeline
Feb 19 2012: Middle East Cyber War Timeline Master Index
I tried to summarize the chain of events that is characterizing the Cyber Escalation in the Middle East. I collected the information from several sources in order to provide a detailed picture of what is happening between Israel and the Arab Countries since the initial claim of 0xOmar. Observing the evolution of the chart, the Cyber conflicts seems to follow the same rules than real wars: innocent victims, propaganda and psyops, different paths of escalation and guerrilla tactics. This Cyber Conflict in Middle East is probably crossing the line: from now the landscape will not be the same anymore.
From the initial action of 0xOmar to the Israeli reaction, passing through the declaration of Cyber Jihad (the chart is updated to Sunday, the 22nd of January), (too) many events have happened, involving different hacking crews, different countries (also some French and Canadian web sites have been defaced) and different kind of attacks. What was started as an endless chain of massive leaks seems to be evolving as isolated actions typical of guerrilla.
Follow the line of a Cyber conflict that, similarly to the real one occurring in the Middle East, appears far from being solved…

Breaking Fajr: A Muslimah's Twilight
Nov 14, 2011 03:53 AM »
This is for all the Twilight fans... pretty hilarious
Zahra ran up the stairs sobbing. She plunged on top of her bed and wept into her pillow. Zahra was fed up. Marriage proposal after marriage proposal, Zahra was getting frustrated with the lack of quality Muslim men in her small town. "No mom, I'm not listening to any other offers right now!" she yelled from her room.
"Zahra! Don't be stupid!" scoffed her mother as she entered Zahra's room. Aunty Yasmeen was trying her best to get her daughter married but hasn't had much luck. Smallstownburgh was surprisingly small so it was difficult to find Muslims, let alone any suitable guys for Zahra. Aunty Yasmeen recently started creating profiles for her daughter on all sorts of online Muslim matrimonial sites.
"Mom, for the last time I don't want my picture being put on those sites! It's filled with creepy guys!"
"But just this morning I received a "Salam" request from this doctor… he is 34 and – "
"EW! Why not just look up pictures of dinosaurs and marry me to some of them? They're probably better looking."
Aunty Yasmeen bit her lip. "Yes, I think you're right."
Zahra and Aunty Yasmeen started laughing together. As much as the marriage process is frustrating Zahra, she still felt her own mother was her best friend. With Zahra being one of the most beautiful Muslim girls on the Eastern coast, it was natural for her to receive so many marriage proposals.
"Mom, thank you… I appreciate what you're doing… it's just that I really think all the guys have personalities that make werewolves look good… I may need to start looking out of state."
"I see…" replied Aunty Yasmeen… her lips quivering. her eyes swelling with tears. She didn't want her only daughter to move too far away.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Who could that be?" said Aunty Yasmeen, smiling mischievously.
"Mom… what are you up to?"
"Zahra, go get changed. Put on that pink suit that I really like."
"Oh my God, mom! This is so dumb, I was born over a decade after this guy!"
"Oh, this is someone else… I arranged another proposal…"
When Aunty Yasmeen opened the door, she was surprised.
"Oh Zahra, it's okay, it's just your brother… he came back early from boarding school"
"Assalamu Alaikum…nice to see you too, mother." sneered Abdul Wahab.
"Don't sneer at your mother!" sneered Aunty Yasmeen.
"Sorry… I have just developed some strange quirks while I was at the school" said Abdul Wahab, his lips curling.
"How come you came back a day early?"
"There was a stupid school dance. It was filled with shirk and Haram girls."
"Oh, you say that about everything." said Zahra, as she came down the stairs, making the Guiness Book of World Records for fastest-getting-ready time for a female.
Abdul Wahab sneered at his older sister. "Good to see you too Zah"
Aunty Yasmeen started to do some last-minute cleaning of the foyer.
"I planned this marriage proposal as a surprise… so Zahra wouldn't get stressed and so Abdul Wahab wouldn't make the boy uncomfortable."
"Well I AM stressed… what if he's ugly?" replied Zahra.
"And I can't wait to grill this doofus" replied Abdul Wahab.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Zahra felt a huge lump in her stomach, like a flesh-eating bacteria eating away her insides and causing her massive amounts of diarrhea. Luckily, it was just a feeling.
Abdul Wahab felt a huge lump in his fists… hoping for the right moment he'd be allowed to punch the suitor. It has always been a dream of his to punch one of Zahra's marriage proposals for saying something stupid.
Aunty Yasmeen opened the door. There were in for a bigger surprise than they thought.
On the porch stood a tall, slender man. His skin colour was pale yet fair, as if he bathed in Fair & Lovely cream. He had a certain shimmer about him. His beard lined his jaw perfectly. His long black hair dripped behind his kufi and was shoulder length. His eyes were almond shaped and almond coloured. He even had an almond scent to him. He was ridiculously handsome. He was so handsome that even Abdul Wahab was lowering his gaze.
"Uh…" said the boy as he blushed profusely.
"Uh…" replied Zahra, as she blushed profusely.
"Assalamu Alaikum!" shouted Aunty Yasmeen happily. She ushered him inside and closed the door behind him. "This is Idris"
"Where's your parents?" sneered Abdul Wahab. Aunty Yasmeen shot him a dirty look.
"Oh… my parents… they aren't around anymore" said Idris.
The four of them stood in awkward silence for several minutes.
"My parents had immigration issues… they were deported back to Transylvania" he added.
"Hang on… wait a second" pressed Abdul Wahab.
"Yeah… I'm a vampire" said the boy.

Interesting story, however....
the minute I opened the link to read further, the computer started to act weird and it looks like it is now infected by a virus. I was using my husband's work laptop!! His colleague at his company is trying to clean up this virus. I hope he does not lose any files.
so a warning to you ...
take care

I think you are right. There's something not quite right with that site. Luckily I have a very strong firewall. I hope no one else got infected. I removed the link. If anyone knows maniacmuslim let him know!
Here's the rest of it I got from googlecache1!!
Aunty Yasmeen's eyebrows propped up.
Abdul Wahab's lips curled up.
Zahra's ears perked up.
"Get out." shouted Abdul Wahab as he re-opened the door.
"No!" shouted Zahra.
Aunty Yasmeen smirked. Her plan was in affect. This was the first time Zahra actually seemed somewhat interested in a marriage proposal.
Idris' face remained unchanged. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble I-"
"No trouble at all Idris… please. Right this way." chirped Aunty Yasmeen happily.
Abdul Wahab closed the door and gave a death stare to Idris. Idris brushed some hair over his eyes so he could simultaneously block Abdul Wahab's death stare and play up his emo image.
The four of them sat in the living room… Abdul Wahab and Aunty Yasmeen were sitting on the long couch with Zahra while Idris sat on an armchair on the other side of the room. The room's layout was uncomfortable for guests and almost seemed designed for marriage proposals.
Zahra's heart was racing. Most of her proposals were from men who were out of touch with religion or valued peculiar culture tendencies such as demanding daily biryani meals or banning women from leaving the house. Other proposals were from men who were just plain ugly.
Idris seemed very different… he was quiet and extremely hard to read. Even Abdul Wahab had a hard time reading him. Idris sat there quietly… his mouth somehow forming a half-smile and a half-frown at the same time. Aunty Yasmeen was ecstatic about Idris' fair-skin.
"So… what is it that you do Idris?" asked Aunty Yasmeen, hoping to break the ice.
"I'm a dreamer" replied Idris, his lips remaining in a half-smile, half-frown state.
Zahra sighed. "That's so… dreamy" she thought as her eyes glazed over.
"That must have taken a lot of schooling… sounds like hard work" scoffed Abdul Wahab.
"I'm still in school… I'm doing my 13th degree… "
Abdul Wahab nearly choked on the oxygen he was breathing in. "How on earth…"
"I've been in school for over 60 years"
"How old are you?"
"I'm barely over 80."
Aunty Yasmeen looked over to Zahra, worried that she would simply collapse out of fright but surprisingly Zahra seemed unfazed.
"Wow… mashAllah. You look very healthy for your age" said Zahra, as she blushed profusely.
"Thank you…" replied Idris, as he blushed too but it was hard to tell as he still looked pale.
"You are older than my grandfather" said Abdul Wahab matter-of-factly. Aunty Yasmeen shot him a dirty look but she too was weirded out that her potential son-in-law was older than her own father.
"Shut up Abdul Wahab!" shouted Zahra.
"It's okay… being a vampire has allowed me to live a long and pious life."
Abdul Wahab shook his head. He didn't like this guy. He didn't like him one bit. He looked over at his sister who seemed to be turning pink from all the blushing. She was clearly into the guy… but Abdul Wahab looked worried. Idris seemed a little off.
"Okay vampire," Abdul Wahab pressed, "if you want to marry my sister we have to know a few things about you…"
"How long have you been Muslim?"
"Just a quarter of my life… 20 years."
Zahra's eyes popped out at the answer. "Oh my… you're a convert?" She started to fan herself.
Abdul Wahab continued. "And you didn't give up your shirky vampire practice when you converted?"
"No…" said Idris, "Vampirism is not at odds with anything."
"I find that hard to believe."
"Think of vampirism as a culture. We have different customs and whatever conflicts with the religion we sort of leave out."
"So when you eat people, you Zabiha slaughter them first?" asked Abdul Wahab sarcastically as his lip curled.
"I am a vegetarian. I only eat animals."
Zahra perked up… "Oh cool… I only eat animals too."
Abdul Wahab slapped his forehead.
Idris explained, "I looked up the fiqh when I converted and I found out that eating humans is Haram."
"How unfortunate for you" sneered Abdul Wahab.
Idris shifted around in his seat.
Aunty Yasmeen gestured to Zahra to make tea. Zahra nodded and dashed out of the living room. Abdul Wahab shot Idris another death stare. Idris shifted around uncomfortably and moved another strand of hair over his other eye. It seemed like he was ramping up his emo-ness by covering both eyes.
"Oh… getting hungry for human meat are we?" asked Abdul Wahab.
"No… I-"
"want to eat my sister? We know that already"
Aunty Yasmeen gasped. Idris shook his head.
"I actually want to turn Zahra into a vampire."
Aunty Yasmeen gasped again, this time even louder. It was the loudest gasp ever heard in the household. Abdul Wahab stood up to punch Idris but Aunty Yasmeen gestured him to sit.
"You see… Zahra has the scent."
Aunty Yasmeen looked around puzzled. "Scent?"
"Mother, why is my sister wearing Haram perfumes in public?"
Idris shook his head again, as he shook his head his hair flailed around everywhere, ever-so-romantically.
"No… it's a scent that drives us vampires wild."
"Stop smelling my sister you freak!"
"We're physically attracted to our prey! I can't help it that she seems so succulent!"
Aunty Yasmeen coughed a little. Abdul Wahab sneezed a little. Idris smiled a little.
Just then, Zahra returned with the tea. It appeared she had eavesdropped the entire conversation an her skin colour seems to have matched her pink outfit.
"Let me get this straight," said Abdul Wahab, "You are physically attracted to the things you eat?"
"Yes… and so the lion has fallen in love with the lamb…" replied Idris, ever-so-dreamily.
Zahra' ears perked up. "What a stupid lamb" she sighed as she walked towards him with the tray of tea.
"What a sick, masochistic lion" replied Idris.
He stared at the shadows in the living room for a long moment, and Zahra wondered where Idris' thoughts had taken him. They gazed into each other's eyes for approximately thirty seconds. It was extremely uncomfortable for Aunty Yasmeen and Abdul Wahab who started to cough and sneeze uncontrollably to break the awkward tension.
"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life" explained Abdul Wahab.
"No it's not! It's so romantic!" piped in Zahra.
"I'm sorry Abdul?" said a puzzled Idris.
Abdul Wahab smirked. "The lion and the lamb thing? It makes no sense. How is that even remotely romantic? That's like saying frogs fall in love with mosquitos or chimpanzees fall in love with bananas"
"I just slaughtered a goat last week for Eid and ate it… and I had absolutely no intention to marry it or have goat babies."
Idris looked dejected. Even as an 80-year old wise geezer, he seemed thick as bricks.
Zahra looked embarrassed. She despised her brother for ruining such a hunky proposal. Zahra came forward with the tea and offered it to Idris.
"So uh… how do you take your tea?" she asked.
"With lots of garlic" sneered Abdul Wahab.
"You realize that won't kill me. I'm not like those other vampires."
"Do you have any powers? Like turn into bats?" asked Aunty Yasmeen politely.
"I'll show you". Idris stood up and drew the curtains open, letting the sunlight pour in. He then proceeded to do something that shocked everyone in the room. He ripped off his shirt to reveal his sparkling body.
Abdul Wahab immediately went to grab his shoe and aimed it at Idris' head. Aunty Yasmeen went to check on Zahra, who fainted in the middle of the floor. Even in an unconscious state, Zahra had a huge grin on her face.
When Zahra came to, she heard Abdul Wahab's screaming. She realized her brother was yelling at her.
"Zahra! This is the third time one of your marriage proposals has ripped off their shirt."
Zahra looked dazed. "But the first time one sparkled" she murmured.
Idris looked concerned for Zahra as he buttoned back his shirt. "Zahra… I'm sorry…"
"You are a complete idiot, you know that? What sane girl would actually fall for someone like you?" said Abdul Wahab matter-of-factly.
"I'm on team Idris" said Zahra dreamily.
"Did you put a spell on her or something?!" shouted Abdul Wahab.
"No… I think our hearts are already connected… I sparkle in sunlight." said a smug Idris.
Suddenly, Abdul Wahab lunged towards Idris.
"NO!" shouted an obviously love-stricken Zahra.
Aunty Yasmeen was shocked and tried to stop Abdul Wahab. Idris let out his scary yet fake-looking vampire teeth.
But Abdul Wahab surprisingly wasn't going in to punch the vampire… he was checking Idris' pulse.
"Just as I thought… nothing. You have no pulse. No heartbeat."
"So?" asked Idris.
"So it's time to pray"
Aunty Yasmeen and Zahra were confused. "It's not prayer time yet" said Zahra.
Abdul Wahab shook his head. "No… we're going to pray a janaza prayer. Your potential husband isn't even alive. He is obviously dead and needs a janaza prayer."
Idris looked uncomfortable.
Abdul Wahab smirked. "I looked up the fiqh and marrying a dead guy is Haram."
Zahra started crying.
Idris began to show his temper. "Listen, you obviously seem like you're the alpha male of the family and-"
Aunty Yasmeen bit her lip. "Actually my husband is…"
Idris looked shocked. "Where is he? I'm sure he'd be a much more pleasant questioner than his son here…"
Aunty Yasmeen bit her gums. "He's no longer with us…" Tears started filling her eyes.
The room was filled in another uncomfortable silence for five minutes.
Aunty Yasmeen bit the inside of her cheeks. "He just left last week to work a new contract in Saudi Arabia."
Idris stood up. "I think I should leave."
"Oh, but you two are so perfect for each other. A dead guy and a zombie girl… she has no brain."
Zahra and Abdul Wahab started bickering some more. Aunty Yasmeen stood up to show Idris out.
"You're a nice old… I mean young man" explained Aunty Yasmeen, "and we'll call you after doing some thinking."
Idris' hair waved his hair all over the place one last time, said his salams and departed.
Abdul Wahab looked back at Zahra… who was still sobbing. He felt bad… "Listen Zah, if it makes you feel any better…. I got bitten by a werewolf last week."
"WHAT?" shouted Aunty Yasmeen.
Zahra looked up… she saw the sadness in Abdul Wahab's eyes. "What? I'm sorry brother… I didn't know…"
Aunty Yasmeen started to call the police but then hung-up and called animal control, hoping they'd be able to help her son.
Abdul Wahab continued. "I don't think I'll be able to get any girls anytime soon… I mean what kind of girl would love a werewolf?"

Martha really enjoys having dinner parties and Sharkey and I asked if it would be all right if we could sit at the formal table and take part in the festivities. Of course we reviewed all the rules of etiquette, as Martha likes us to be very polite. I think you can see from these photos that Sharkey and I were complete angels.
What's that Martha? Of course we'll be well-behaved and we promise not to put our paws on the table.
