Excerpt from The Desert Lord's Bride by Olivia Gates
Hot as hell, cold as the grave.
Shehab's lips thinned as he recalled the catchphrase, his eyes slicing through the sea of costumed people who impinged on his senses and turned the ballroom into a battleground of material excess and self-serving agendas.
Still no sign of the woman who'd warranted this slogan.
He played it again in his mind, unwillingly finding the rhythm to it, humming it along with the exuberant live orchestral performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9.
Hot as hell, cold as the grave.
One man had even added insatiable as death.
Now that was a summation if he'd ever heard one.
The descriptions sounded like titles. Like the ones he'd been saddled with since birth. Sheikh Aal Masood. His Royal Highness. And now His Majestic Eminence the Crown Prince.
But according to common consensus, hers had been earned.
And he was expected to marry the woman.
No. He wasn't expected to. He was going to. He had to.
His every muscle clenched. His teeth grated against each other.
Ya Ullah. He should be resigned by now, numbed. It had been over a month since he'd known the fate he had to succumb to, to safeguard Judar's throne.
At times he could almost hate Carmen.
It was because of Farooq's overriding love for his wife that he'd thrown the burden in Shehab's lap.
Still, Shehab could have endured a fate he'd always proclaimed worse than death, an arranged marriage, if the designated bride had been anyone acceptable.
But Farah Beaumont, the illegitimate daughter of King Atef Aal Shalaan, king of Zohayd, wasn't acceptable.
Not because she'd been born out of wedlock. And not because she'd refused to acknowledge her heritage, or to be the instrument of peace. The first she had no hand in, the second could have been a temporary inability to deal with the revelations about her past, the upheavals it promised in her future.
But neither was why Farah Beaumont--whom her mother had so sneakily given an Arabic name popular in the West-- spurned her father and could afford to turn down the prospect of becoming a princess. The real reason was what made her so repulsive.
She'd been born into privilege, having been adopted by the French multimillionaire her mother had married. Then, ever since his fortune had been lost after his death, Farah had been clawing her way back to the top. She'd reached it when she'd become the right hand and mistress of world-shaper Bill Hanson, a married man almost old enough to be her grandfather.
By evidence of her actions and by everyone's testimony, Farah Beaumont was a cold, promiscuous, seriously twisted woman.
She was also crucial to a whole region's peace. But she'd refused to do her duty. Point-blank.
Now he had his duty. To pulverize her refusal.
He forced his teeth apart, answered the infringing stare of a couple in Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI costumes.
Instead of deflecting attention by making an appearance as a Kel Tagelmust, a man of the veil, a Tuareg Sahara warrior, Shehab was attracting nothing but. At least he remained anonymous. He couldn't risk recognition. Hence the masked ball, where he could take the masked part literally.
He exhaled, venting some tension, his breath scorching as it spread behind the indigo cotton veil/turban covering his head and face from mid-nose downward. He pivoted before the couple considered eye-contact permission to approach, only to bump into a leggy Irma La Douce who promptly fluttered her lashes in a way he was only too used to. Before flirtation spilled from her eyes to her lips, he murmured a few gentle words to make it clear he'd appreciate being left alone.
As the prostitute with the heart of gold moseyed on, tossing disappointed looks back at him, he sighed. He hoped to avoid all attention from now on. Although he'd sponsored this affair, he hadn't invited any of the acquaintances he liked and respected. Instead he had filled the room with people he either barely knew or didn't care much for, to create an anonymous, easily ignored crowd. He was here to focus on and garner the attention of only one person. Farah Beaumont.
Now if only the damned woman would make an appearance.
Suddenly, something sizzled at the back of his neck.
Tensing, he homed in on the source of the disturbance. It was emanating from the giant ballroom doors ten feet away. He turned, imbuing his movement with unconcern.
In the next second, everything lost momentum. His body. His heart. The world itself decelerated before it vanished. Nothing remained but the creature framed in the intricately gilded doorway, swathed in an ethereal gown made of every shade of green right out of his kingdom's fairy tales. The subject of a fantasy painting come to life.
This was...her?
He blinked, as if coming out of hypnosis.
What was he thinking? Of course it was her. He'd had enough close-ups of her pinned on his wall as he'd prepared for this campaign.

The Darkness (Xbox 360)
Date: 12/04/09, updated on 12/04/09 (33 review reads)
Advantages: Good concept, fun combat system
Disadvantages: No replay Value, predictable, confusing
Just by looking at the front cover it sends chills down your spine, inserting the disc into your console is like walking into a dark empty room, you just quite don't know what's inside. I tried The Darkness and to begin with the story is good with a simple shooter basis, walking down the street beating to death any poor mobster who decided to look down the barrel of my gun. However the fun really starts when your character discovers he can manifest a creature from inside him that grows giant man eating tentacles out of his hips.
To me this sounded awesome, however after a while the game play value slowly drains away, I just knew half way through which corners I would be ambushed at and which were save points just by looking at the light round the corner. Its quite a predictable set of events that occur very randomly and mostly are to your advantage ironically.
This brings me onto certain perks you gain such as the void ability. *Cough cough overpowered* As soon as you get this its all you use to obliterate any poor guy to step in front of you and the difficulty of the game just depletes. Talking about difficulty you have an option to choose auto aim or not which is quite obvious as the game literally points to where you have to shoot defeating the object of having a turn function as simply the trigger is your best friend in the game. One major downfall which put me off playing for 3 months was that the game doesn't really tell you where to go in case you need reminding after helping that tramp for the third time let him play his harmonica in the subway station. This game really does leave you searching for the next part of the game if you wander off to help someone in some pointless side plot.
Multiplayer redeems the game with its various play styles and the ability to change form midfight which changes playing styles and strategies during fire fights online. The only problems with this are that it's laggy and you can only experience these half decent multiplayer matches if you can find a game to join.
All in all its quite a letdown and is only really worth buying for the insanely simple achievements to unlock. The darkness isn't as scary as it seems...
Summary: Only worth buying for 1000 Gamerpoints

Secrets of Success
Clutter Success and Ice Cream Failure.

Sunday, May 06, 2012
I have been trying to clear out my house for 2 years now since I can no longer afford it. This weekend I had some huge success. I cleared out an entire car load of electronic gear and took it to recycling. I also cleared out the files from a huge stack of old hard drives. I saved them when we upgraded computers or when one failed always putting off the task for "one day".
Today the library is taking donations for their fundraising book sale. I have cleared out most of my basement and have filled the back seat of my car to the ceiling and floor. After this blog I am heading there to unload.
These are just two of the items I have been carrying on my life. The next two weeks I am focusing on getting as much cleared out as possible. I am going to Denver on the 19th for a week.
Now for my Failures. I have been eating ice cream every night. I just get this compulsion I have to have it. Even on days where I have been eating great I blow it with ice cream. I really wish I could fix my brain.
Goals for this week. No Ice Cream. Exercise at least a little each day. Work on the house clean out each day.
Part of my problem with the clean out is my brain as well. It is tough to get started because it is so overwhelming the volume of stuff to be cleared out and gone through. I get started in one room and then a.d.d. drags me from point to point.
I'll give you an example. I started cleaning sun room and came across some books so I took the books down to the basement where the bookshelves are. I started packing books for the sale, taking the first box out to the car I pass by my old truck tool box(it has been sitting there for like 7 years) I think I should put the box out for free on the curb. Opening the box and there is stuff in there so I clean it out and put the tool box at the curb. Back to book packing. The next box I start packing from basket my daughter put in the basement before going to live with her mom last summer at the bottom are dvds. I decide to look in the video cabinet for any more I can donate well that side tracks me into going through all the vhs tapes keeping only the disney ones. I am determined so I get myself back on track packing books. I get two more boxes in the car and decide to eat lunch. Well that side tracked me to the computer. I then worked a few hours cleaning off old hard drives. The books come back into mind and I get back on task. One more box and I still need more so I stop for the night. This morning I locate two more boxes and continue my task. Oops, I notice out of the corner of my this stuff in the corner that belongs to my ex, she said I could get rid of it and so I side track to that. My trash can is now full so that can no longer be worked on this puts me back to my book task. I finally finish packing the boxes full and get them into the car.
OMG! My original task was clean the sun room and it is not really even started.
Sorry if I bored you but I had to get some this out. Maybe I made some people laugh.

I think many people "clean" that way, I know I do and in talking to others find they do too. At least things are moving outwards, I get sidetracked by all the stuff I have and start reading my books and magazines, or old college papers or articles....
One thing that has helped me is setting a timer for 30 to 45 minutes and making a couple of piles. First I work on my original task, and if I find things that need to go here or there, I pile them together or in a laundry basket. When the timer goes off I then take the stuff where it needs to go, then have a 5 minute break and set the timer again. It helps if the timer has a loud tik, but even if I get off task when I hear the timer it reminds me to get back on task. LOL I do get a lot more done this way.
As for the ICE CREAM, forgive and forget each day, and only work on one day at a time. More than likely the ice cream from yesterday is still affecting your brain today, so the more days you go without it, the easier it will get. Also try changing your pattern for that time, go for a short 10 minute walk or do jumping jacks or jump rope or what ever anything different from your usual routine. This has helped me most of the time. Also try non-fat frozen yogurt (less calories and healthyish).
Hope most of this has resolves as I am a month late in responding....
Many blessings today and always,

Well, I just think you are inclined to clean like a woman...lol..no seriously, I have ADHD, so I cannot say for sure that this is normal behavior, because for me it is. I still finish many tasks, have a "need" to see finished results, but as I get older and my 15 yr. old has even commented on it, I have gotten worse. I start cleaning one room, and in taking something to another room I startdoing things needed in that room, and so on...a little in each room, back and forth and finally it's done. Seriously though...it's okay, and yes, your blog made me giggle a little, but for one it was refreshing to read your honesty, and frustration, and it is important to blog if you need to. If it bores others, then they don't have to read them or comment on them. This is for "you". This is "your" journey, and for us, we are the honored ones who get to share it with you. I'm sorry about your ice cream phase. If it's not something you think you can get a grip on, try lowfat icecream, in smaller quantities. Skinny Cow has some delicious mousse bars, and ice cream sanwiches. Just a though, but you can do it...
ps. it sounds like there is a lot of emotional baggage going along with all the physical baggage going out of the house, that can be emotionally draining and exhausting as well...blog away, if it helps..we are here for you to talk to...

Yes - I can also recommend Flylady.net. I can also recommend just a spoonfull of icecream :)
Good Luck! You can do it.

You're not at all alone when it comes to getting sidetracked. I start with project "A" and stop on project "L", having detoured through projects "F", "D", "X" and "G", finishing none of them and accomplishing little more than working up a good sweat, the process is beyond frustrating to me!..As for the ice cream, 2 nights ago I finished off close to 1/4 gallon of a variety that I don't even like very well.
Hang in there, I don't have any solutions, but a little empathy sometimes helps. : )

a.d.d.? I think not. I think that is normal behaviour. At least I *hope* it's normal behaviour since I engage in it so often : )

I get the icecream craving after dinner. I discovered that I wasn't really hungry, I just wanted the taste. So I started having just one big spoonful of icecream after dinner and that seems to satisfy me. If you're struggling with the no icecrem rule, you could try this to see how you go.

I so do the same thing! I have a room I need to paint, but I can't paint it until I sort out my DVDs. Which are not even in that room. But there's this whole mental chain -- like dominoes -- that makes sense in my head about how I MUST do the DVDs first or I'll have to stop in the middle of painting to deal with them. I don't want to write it down, because then you'll realize how illogical it all is. And yet, there you go.
As for the ice cream -- what's worked for me is two things. First, when the craving hits (it was chocolate covered almonds for me, which are no longer welcome in my home since I don't trust myself), I tell myself, you don't really want it, it's just habit, go do something else and if you still want it in an hour, you can have it. Sometimes that's enough to make me forget about it, or if I don't, it's enough to let my rational brain kick in.
Second, I get involved in something inconsistent with eating -- cleaning, doing something outside, running errands, etc. -- just anything that will make me think, well, I'm covered in dust/ comet/ bleach, so eating will have to wait. And then, again, I forget about it.
Those work for me close to 90% of the time now (started at a much lower percentage and worked at it). Good luck!

I struggle with clutter all the time. I found a bit of help from Flylady.net to help me focus on doing a little bit at a time. I had to stop buying ice cream, period. Everytime we buy it, I can't resist it. I traded it for fruit freezer bars, which I still had to have every night for a long time, but at least it was 80 calories versus me scooping far more than a serving of ice cream. I have a very cluttered office desk now that I have been avoiding. Maybe today will be the day! Best of luck to you.

I'm like that too! I have to keep making myself go back to the original task! But you did make progress! I will get up to go to bed and make coffee for the morning. So I make coffee. There's a cup in the sink so I will put it in the dishwasher, then wipe the sink, then clean the counters. I will head to bed, see a light in the laundry room, go turn that off and end up folding the clothes in the dryer and starting another load of wash. As I pass my girls bathroom, I see a towel, grab that to throw in the wash, end up wiping down the sink and the toilet, go to my room, brush my teeth, wipe the counters down, notice dust on the picture frames, wipe those down and finally get in bed, 20 minutes later! Crazy!

New Job Merits Move
The Designed to Sell team cleans out a couple's garage and adds architectural interest to their home that is almost market-ready.

Homeowners Kathy and Ramon Jaramillo are moving from northern Virginia to New Hampshire for a new job. But, before they head north, they need to sell their house. Located in a suburb of Washington D.C., the 3,500-square-foot home offers an easy commute into the city. With four bedrooms, a two-car garage, separate dining room and big living room, this home is ideal for a large family.
Real estate expert Terry Haas pays a visit to offer her professional opinion on the home's sales potential. She likes the neighborhood and the two-car garage. But when she peers into the garage window and sees a huge pile of junk, she quickly changes her mind. A messy garage does not make a good first impression. A clean, usable garage can increase the asking price by nearly $15,000. Upon entering the home, Haas likes the big, formal dining room, but finds its lack of color terribly boring. In the living room, the vaulted ceiling could be a great selling feature if it were better emphasized and more in proportion with the rest of the room.
Designer Taniya Nayak agrees with Haas' assessment and devises a plan to fix the flaws and make sure this house sells for top dollar.
Step 1: Clear out the clutter in the garage and turn it into a strong selling feature.
Step 2: Liven up the lackluster dining room with some color and style.
Step 3: Bring the living room into proportion, and create a focal point that will highlight the room's great vertical space.
Contractors John Allen and Matt Steele are on board to complete each step so these homeowners can make a profitable sale.

How to Reduce Pain Caused by a New Piercing
Edited by Ben Rubenstein, Axiom, Brett, Flickety and 16 others
If you've recently gotten a piercing, and it's hurting, there are ways to soothe the pain. Pain swelling, and bleeding should stop after a few days to a week. Lymph fluid, which forms a clear yellow crust, can continue for a few months.
1First, and most importantly; keep your piercing very clean. Wash with soap and water, and never touch it with dirty hands.Ad
2Soak your piercing in a solution of 1/8 tsp sea salt to 8oz warm water for 10 minutes once a day.
3Keep some saline in the fridge. A cold compress will do wonders for a sore piercing.
4For oral piercings, make a warm solution of non-iodized salt and water, or use alcohol-free mouthwash after eating or drinking anything but water. Avoid talking as much as you can until the swelling goes down, any smoking, and alcohol for 2 weeks.
5Take an ibuprofen. This will reduce swelling. (If your piercing is still bleeding do not take ibuprofen as it can cause you to bleed longer. Opt instead for acetaminophen.)
6Don't hit your piercings.
7Do not rotate your jewelry, this will cause the scabbed area to rip the skin more and the outside area bringing in bacteria making it more prone to infection and pain. Do not pick scabs, instead soak them in the hottest water you can take.
8Leave it alone, don't touch it more than necessary.
9Do not take it out if infected.
10Take allergy pills. This will help with the itching-it is good when itching since it shows that it healing.Ad
- If your piercing is fresh, do not take aspirin or ibuprofen as both of these NSAIDs prevent platelet aggregation and inhibit clotting, which can cause your piercing to bleed longer. The best OTC pain reliever is acetaminophen (Tylenol) as it affects clotting the least of this class of drugs. If you're past the bleeding stage, you can safely take ibuprofen, but aspirin is not recommended.
- Have your piercer change out the jewelry to a smaller size after the swelling is gone, if need be.
- Most infections come from dirty hands, so always wash your hands before touching your piercing.
- Even old piercings can become irritated or infected.
Things You'll Need
- Sea salt, without iodine
- Gentle soap
- Ice
- Non-alcohol mouthwash
- Saline
- Natural Sea Salt
- H2Ocean

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar:
To start off I will say I love the style of the Firebird! Thats why I bought this axe in the first place. I knew buying epiphone the fit and finish wasn't going to be as nice as my USA made Gibson Les Paul but this is kind of a project guitar for me.
Overall the guitar is a awesome for the price!
Pros- I love the style, color, and feel of this guitar! The tuners on this guitar are also top notch compared to other Epiphones I've played.
Cons- The Biggets Con for me was the setup on the guitar from the factory. Luckley I can do all that work on my own and don't have to send it to a shop to do it. The action was super high and the intonation was out. Kinda hard to believe they would ship it like that.
The pickups in it are rather dull and leave something to be desired. I pretty much knew that though from reading other reviews. So I've already bought new (to my preference) pickups for it.
The only other thing I could complain about it is there is a small crack in the clear coat where the neck meets the body. You can barley see it.
To sum it all up I still love this guitar and after I get my new pickups in it I will love it even more and probably play it ever gig I can along side with my $2000 Les Paul!
Best Uses
Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar:
I've always wanted a Firebird but didn't like the balance or sound of the mini humbuckers. When epiphone made one with a set neck for 1/4 the price I bit. The 1st one had a very poorly cut nut that made the strings out if alignment with the pickups and neck. The next one was better but had a gouge in the back and a ding on the botton edge. Both had some fret buzz, were poorly set up and the grainy finish allowed the poor craftsmanship show though. It plays and sounds ok. The neck is a bit bulky.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar:
This guitar is alot of fun. Its not a main axe, but one you grab to have a good time rocking out. I love the look and color is great. Definitely an eye catching guitar. Love it!

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar:
Great classic rock look! Plays fairly well right out of the box, thin body and chunky neck make for a comfortable contrast!
Glad I bought it!
Best Uses
Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Firebird Studio Electric Guitar:
Robin Crosby and Nikki Sixx are my favorite bird users; I like the classic mini-humbuckers and I was going for the Gibson FB tribute; kind stumbled upon the Epi and I like because of the full humbuckers. No middle "riser" in the body (boo) but the slab body feels very well balanced. Has traditional FB headstock (nice)with Steinberger tuners (same on the Tribute); nice neck with dressed frets (should have binding)
Standard pickups for this price, but they will be the first to go. The paint? I like the color, but this is a metallic paint applied as if it is a stain so some wood grain peeks through. It would look better if applied full on metallic like a car finish. There are no other FBs out there so this is the best budget choice.

"LEAF Festival" Black Mountain by jnunn
Black Mountain Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 6 photos
LEAF Festival
LEAF Festival is held twice a year, once on Memorial Weekend and once sometime in October near the peak of the leaves. It is a big music, arts and dance festival. Located in Black Mountain at an old boy's camp site and former site of a college, the festival has ample room for folks to camp out while listening to great music. It is a great way to get away from it all and commune with good friends.
Pros and Cons
- Pros:good music, arts & crafts
- Cons:lots of people camping, make reservations early

Warm up and fill up with big-batch soups, stews, and chowders from your freezer.
moreLeftover soup will last up to 3 days in the fridge or up to 1 month in the freezer. Follow these steps on how to freeze and store soup and you'll be set all winter long!
How to Freeze Soup
1. Cool. Refrigerators and freezers cannot cool soups quickly enough to be food safe. Speed up the cooling process by placing the
pot of soup in a bath of ice water in the sink. Stir soup often to help release the heat.
2. Package. Label and date gallon- or quart-size zip-top plastic freezer bags, place in a bowl, and cuff the bag over the edge. Ladle soup into each bag, then let out any excess air and seal.
3. Freeze. Lay bags flat in a single layer in the freezer; when frozen, stack bags to save space.
4. Reheat. Thaw overnight in fridge. Reheat chowders over low heat; gumbo, stew, and Hearty Italian Soup over medium-low. Stir occasionally.

8 ways to say "I love you" in Southwest Roanoke County
Valentine's Day is only two weekends away. Are you ready? If not, here are eight ways to say "I Love You" in Southwest Roanoke County. Can you think of more? Feel free to add your suggestions in the "comment" field below.
1. Singing Valentines: Let the Star City Sounds Chorus serenade your sweetheart for Valentines Day. A four-part harmony quartet will sing two love songs and provide a rose. Available February 13 or 14. Cost: $35. Call Linda at 774-1542 for scheduling.
2. More Singing Valentines: Say "I love you" with a singing Valentine sung by a Virginia Gentlemen barbershop quartet. For only $45 on the 13th of February and $50 for the 14th, a quartet will serenade your sweetheart at home, at work, at school or most anywhere in the Roanoke Valley. The quartet will sing two love songs and present a card with a personal message and a long-stem red rose, and capture the moment with a photo taken with your sweetheart.Presented by the Virginia Gentlemen Barbershop Harmony Chorus.For more information, go to: www.vagents.org.
3. Buy a "love line" in SWoCo. Yes, this is a cheap promotional ploy, but it's also cheap (only 99 cents a line) and the ultimate promotion is, well, for you. Call 981-3311 to place your "Love Line" in print. Deadline: Noon on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
4. Go see "She Loves Me" at Showtimers community theatre just off 419. It's a love story, and it opens Feb. 12. (For more on the show, see this story.)
5. Go see the Feb. 14 show by Roanoke's comedy improv troupe, The Big Lick Conspiracy (which has several members from Southwest Roanoke County — namely, Robb Rouse and Susan Braden.) The group has performed at the Waldron Stage at Mill Mountain Theatre; no word yet on where the Valentine's Day show will be, since Mill Mountain has closed — check back here for an update.
6. Buy your sweetheart some chocolates from the new chocolate shop in West Village — Baylee's Best Chocolates. (For more on the store, see this story.)
7. Buy your sweetheart some chocolates from Chocolatepaper, which now has locations both in Southwest Roanoke County and in downtown Roanoke. (For more on the store, see this story.)
8. Speaking of Chocolatepaper, submit your love story to SWoCo and you have a chance to win a box of truffles from the store. (For details, click here.)
So what ideas do you have for a Southwest Roanoke County-themed Valentine's Day? You can leave an idea below in the "comment" field.

Xenakis in a Boat
Waterfront Premiere of Xenakis' 'Persephassa' in Central Park Boating Lake
Monday, June 14, 2010
On June 21, 2010, Q2 asked you to help report -- through photographs, videos and social media -- on the surreal and intense performance of Iannis Xenakis' Persephassa (excerpt included above) on the Boating Lake in Central Park. With six percussionists, including founding member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars Steven Schick and former So Percussion-ist Doug Perkins, the afternoon's concert invited audience members to row out to the center of the lake for a surround-sound experience unlike any other.
We wanted your reactions: on-site photos; YouTube videos; we wanted to light up the Facebook and Twitter-spheres (#xenakisinaboat) and show our national and international friends that no terrain in New York City is unchartered when it comes to presenting complex, exciting New Music.
We are happy to offer a near-complete video from Liubo Borissov of the second performance of Persephassa as well as a slideshow of photographs. Thanks to everyone who sent in materials!

Mold and Mildew Control
For over 20 years Star brite's MDG bags were the industry standard for odor prevention - but there is a now a better option. MDG Mold/Mildew Odor Control uses a patented, EPA-approved chlorine dioxide generating system. The deep-penetrating vapors permeate 100% throughout the treated area to eliminate foul odor at the source, and to prevent it from reoccurring.
The Car Bomb, Boat Bomb and Fast Release are designed to remove unpleasant odors within a few hours, while the Slow Release system is formulated to ensure the maintain air quality in stored boats and RVs. The Slow Release is safe for use around people and pets, making it ideal for use year-round in boats or RVs.
The second step in foul odor prevention is Star brite's comprehensive No Damp line of dehumidifiers. Star brite makes the industry standards for removing and preventing mildew stains: the aptly-named Mildew Stain Remover and Mildew Stain Blocker.

This world is forcing me to hold your haaaand.... Like whoaaaa. The semester is overrr! 18 days of sleeping in. Yummy<3 Yah, I drank so much tea to get rid of this flu that I'm practically pissin therma-flu. I'm feeling better though. Just a dry cough, and the muscles in my stomach are sore from coughing soo much. But other than that I'm good. Got home early cause of finals on Wenesday, Thursday, and Friday. We were dismissed at 11:40, I got home at 12. I was locked out of my house today so I went to Mike's house to call my mom at work. She told me there was a spare key in a shoe outside. Aren't I supposed to know about these things? I live there too damn it! Mike took me to get something to eat. He keeps saying I love you, and I don't know if he's for real. That wouldn't be good if he was serious...I really can't think of him like that anymore. I'm so over him, it's impossible to go back. But that's good right? Helll yah it is. Feels good. Last night I went shopping for my buddies. I couldn't tell my mom though cause I'm not allowed to go out cause we got in another fight on Wenesday. Dude, the fight was sooo fucking pointless. I had told my mom me and my sister were going with Paula and Elora to the Dollar Tree and we would be back in 2 hours. So we left at 8, got home exactly 10. What's the problem you ask? My mom and dad fucking yelled at me cause we went to two other stores RIHT BESIDE THE FUCKING DOLLAR STORE. Hallmark, and TJ Maxx. They were all in the same plaza. They were like, "YOU SAID YOU WERE ONLY GOING TO THE DOLLAR STORE." I was like, "I DID BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE BUT COLORING BOOKS, CHEAP CRAYONS AND WIG SHAMPOO. THE OTHER TWO STORES WERE RIGHT BESIDE IT IN THE SAME PLAZA!" They were like, "THAT'S NOT WHERE YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING." And anyway, Mrs. Paula took me, and my mom knew that. She was nice enough to take me along. She had to go to Hallmark and TJ Maxx to buy some of the presents she put on hold. I told them that. God they are FUCKING ANNOYING. And my dad took my mom's side cause she was still mad at him from Sunday's fight, and he wanted to score some brownie points. THANKS DAD, YOU JERK. And I was like, "OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HEARING THIS. IS THIS REALLY WHAT'S PISSING YOU OFF? IS THAT I WENT TO A STORE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO? OR ARE YOU TAKING YOUR ANGER OUT ON ME? YOU WANT ME TO STAY HOME, AND SLAVE AT YOUR FEET, AND PLEASE YOU, AND WORSHIP YOU ALL DAY? YOU THINK YOU DID ME SUCH A BIG FAVOR LETTING ME STEP FOOT OUT OF THIS HOUSE? YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW STUPID AND POINTLESS YOUR ARGUMENT IS." My mom was telling me to eat shit in Arabic while I was talking, but I kept going. Then when I was done my dad yelled,"SHUT UP!" And I just layed on my bed and cried for fucking 2 hours because they find the most RETARDED things to yell at me for and punish me, and make sure that my ass is always in the house at all times so I can do things for their lazy asses 24/7. My mom usually works from noon till 6 or 7, and she wakes up at like 9. She doesn't do ANYTHING in the house before or after work. She got used to making it as messy as she can, and leave it to me. Even her room and bathroom and everyone's laundry. I know in our culture the oldest girl does just about everything, but all those girls are miserable. Espically if their parents are dickfaces. And I never get a thank you, and someone bitches about something I did wrong, and I get attacked by my parents about the stupidest shit anyone's ever heard of. Is any of this fair to me? No. But who cares? Not them. It's not even worth doing all the work. Espically when she's always telling people I don't do anything, and I only do little things here and there to make herself look like she's such a great mom doing everything, LIKE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO, but doesn't. God I'm mad now, I'm gunna stop there. Amanda's 21st birthday is soon and her and her family are going out to Atlanta to eat at that sushi place we like. Amanda only wanted to bring two people, and she invited me! I felt so special ;D Oh and some girl named Tiffany. I don't know if I'll be able to go considering my mom is a...GRRR. Plus, Amanda called and said her dad might not have the money to take us tonight, so we might have to wait till next week. Sooo, that's what I'll be doing tonight, hopefully. Sorry about how all my journals have to have some bitching in it, and a lot of personal stuff, but oh well. This is the only place I can go to let it out and fume. That's why I got it. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GET OUTTT! Haha.I'm thinking about saving my money for a digital camera. Those shits are expensive. The cheapest one I saw was like $85. I want a good one though. The most I'll spend is $250. If anyone knows of any good places with good quality cameras for cheap, comment, pleaseee. Thanks ;DI made a 94% on my Physics paper! I'm so awesome. Really.Alright, I'm gunna go change and go down to Elora and Amanda's house before my mom gets home. Have a good night everyone <3333Pimp bones in mah body. Oooo weee.xoxoxox-Noraaa

Help me rock a work pot-luck in Sunnyvale...
So while I work up in Sunnyvale now, I live in Southern California, so I don't really know the food well yet around the South Bay. But I'm supposed to participate in a work Pot Luck in Sunnyvale in a few weeks and am trying to think of what to bring. Being a newbie at work and being hotel-bound, making something myself is not an option. So I'd love to bring something good from a nearby restaurant or food purveyor. While it needs to be somewhat accessible for non chow types, I don't want to eliminate some great interesting options either.
So, I would need it to fit into the following parameters:
* Can get it take out or to go.
* Travels reasonably well.
* Is easy for self service (finger food or easy to serve portions)
* Tastes awesome.
* somewhat close proximity to Sunnyvale, though I could potentially go as far as Palo Alto or San Jose if it's something worthwhile.
Thoughts? Ideas? I'll be forever in your debt.
Not exactly haute cuisine but they just opened a King Egg Roll in Milpitas, just a few miles down highway 237 from Sunnyvale. The egg rolls are awesome and great for a wide range of palates, and they sell them in huge party trays with sides of dipping sauce.

Ah, spotted the new King Eggroll driving by on Tuesday and wondered if it was new. Let me add a link.
(And I had not idea that King Eggroll had a new branch in Gilroy too.)

re: Melanie Wong
that soulds great too. I'm doubting Dish Dash a bit because it's right by work and its a favorite for folks at work already... so something like King Egg Roll might be something more unique.
Speaking of Milpitas... I noticed driving through there once there seems to be a big Vietnamese presence there? Maybe some great nem nuong or cha gio (along the egg roll line of thinking). thoughts on good sources in Milpitas?

Ray Bradbury had a grim outlook for the future. In his book everything that could go wrong in the future, did. People rarely left their houses. They where ruled by technology. There was a loss of communication between human beings, since everyone was molded to think and act the same way. No one had their own opinion. Everyone acted like a robot.
The big idea displayed in the book, Fahrenheit 451, was lack of communication. People cant survive if there is no communication going on. Everyone was brainwashed by all the technology that they rarely had time to talk. When they did talk, it was meaningless. Everyone agreed with each other, no one had their own opinion. People didn't express themselves.
"None of these books agree with each other." This quote was said by Beatty. Beatty had just finished coating all the books in a house with kerosene. Beatty was going to begin to burn the books, but a lady was still inside the house. The lady wouldn't leave the house. She just stood over all her kerosene soaked books. Beatty tried to get her out

His mind projects deviance upon 26 letters.
Granting the only ecstasy she cannot phrase
Words filling her mouth fill his soul.
All the way into your mouth, juices dripping.
Lifting her sweet chin offers a glance of innocence
Experience transformed into shyness and serenity.
For her service he serves sticky sweet bliss.
Blowing kisses until he cannot think.
The perfect depth to her throat.
He makes her take each inch without aggression,
Mutual reciprocity wrapped in kindness
Exploding into unselfish sin.
Words joining words into melodic
Confessing to him what his mind
Never imagined but actualized.
One reads, the other writes.
He runs and he lifts.
She whimpers and screams.
Succulent syllables licked from
Her lips become dreams of infinity.
Serving pleasure and wonderful pain.
Realizing the simplicity of her needs
Allowing his thickness to become every man.
He grants her freedom to sing.
Protects a voice and pushing her dreams.
He fights for her to deliver a killer blow.
Intensity matching a pyroclastic flow.
Watching a reality soon to be full, filled,
She creates the fire which his instincts.
Eternal bliss between her lips.

When children leave home, many parents experience depression symptoms called "Empty Nest Syndrome," says Psychology Today. Typically, empty-nesters are mothers, but dads experience it, too. Some factors affect empty nest, including number and age of kids, family closeness, death of children, and boomerang kids (those who leave and come back). Life factors like parents' relationship, jobs, health and social opportunities determine severity, too. Here are tips for coping with empty nest syndrome.
* Reconnect. My husband and I were "attachment parents" before there was a name for it. We devoted our entire lives to the kids and they went with us everywhere. Consequently, we don't have much of a social network. Fortunately, we maintained our relationship. If you've lost connection, re-establish it. Go on dates. Take long, lost weekends. If you're a single parent, find a social outlet. Join a fitness club, volunteer association or church group.
* Treat yourself. Celebrate the fewer responsibilities of an empty nest. Take that vacation you've been putting off. Quit the job you hate but kept to provide for the family. If quitting isn't feasible, reduce your hours. Throw yourself into a cause you're passionate about. Try that risky business venture you've always dreamed of. Go back to school. Work less. Take up that pricey hobby you never could afford when the kids were home. Telling my son about our European vacation dream, I lamented that we couldn't afford to take the family. He said, "You do know that you and Dad get to do things just for you, right? You did your parenting time, Mom. Now it's your turn."
* Get out of the house--temporarily at least, permanently if necessary. As in a death, sitting in an empty nest full of memories is depressing. If you only hung onto your house for the kids or if you're just tired of the upkeep, sell it. Move to a cheaper, lower-maintenance apartment. Buy an RV and travel. Sure, the kids may not like it, but they'll survive. They're moving on with their lives and so should you. It's memories that make a home, not physical structures.
Most importantly, pat yourselves on the back for a parenting job well done.

Terror Train is a 1980 slasher film, directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Ben Johnson and David Copperfield. It follows the members of a college fraternity who played a cruel prank on a shy kid named Kenny Hampson three years ago. They are having a costume party on a train; unbeknownst to them, someone has boarded the train with them and is killing them all one by one.
At a college pre-med student fraternity New Year's Eve party, a reluctant Alana Maxwell is coerced into participating in a prank: she lures the shy and awkward pledge Kenny Hampson into a darkened room on the promise of a sexual liaison. However some other students have placed a woman's corpse in the bed. Kenny is traumatised by the prank and is sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Three years later the members of the same fraternities and sororities hold a costume party aboard a train. Class clown Ed is disguised as Groucho Marx. Prank ringleader Doc Manley is disguised as a monk. Jackson is disguised as an alien lizard. Doc's girlfriend, Alana's best friend Mitchy, is disguised as a witch. Alana's boyfriend Mo is disguised as a bird. Also along are Carne, the train conductor, and a magician hired to entertain the crowd.
As the train journeys into the icy wilderness, the students responsible for the prank are murdered one by one, with the killer assuming the mask and costume of each murder victim in turn. Carne discovers some bodies and sequesters the students in one car as the train begins its return journey. Alana recalls the prank, and, remembering that Kenny loved magic, suspects the magician is the killer. However the magician has disappeared, and is eventually found impaled inside his sword box.
Alana is sequestered in a locked compartment for her safety, but the killer is still aboard, stalking her. The killer enters the compartment but Alana escapes, and is pursued by the killer through the train. The killer is revealed as Kenny, who was disguised as the magician's female assistant. Kenny refuses Alana's apology and forces her to kiss him, but the kiss causes Kenny to relive his memories of the prank, driving him deeper into insanity. Carne rushes to the scene and beats down Kenny with a firemans' shovel, causing him to fall out the open door of the baggage car to his presumable death. His body lands in the nearly frozen river and floats away as the train roars off.

To create the train for the film, the producers leased an actual Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive from the Steamtown Foundation. The train's engine was renumbered from its original 1293 to 1881, and, along with five passenger cars, painted black with silver stripes. Afterward, the Steamtown Foundation reverted the engine back to its original number and had it restored to a historic color and lettering scheme. As of February, 2002, Canadian Pacific Railway No. 1293 continued to be an "operable locomotive." [2]
It was filmed in and around Montreal, Quebec, Canada from November 21 to December 23, 1979. Terror Train was the first motion picture directed by Spottiswoode, who would go on to make such films as Tomorrow Never Dies, Turner & Hooch, and Air America.
Cinematographer John Alcott devised a unique method of lighting Terror Train. He rewired the entire train and mounted individual dimmers on the exteriors of the carriage cars. Utilizing a variety of bulbs with different wattages, and controlling them with the external dimmers, Alcott could light the set in a very fast, efficient manner. At times, Alcott also used medical lights - "pen torches" - to hand light the actors' faces.[3]
Taking a cue from director John Ford, veteran actor Ben Johnson originally asked director Spottiswoode to give his character Carne less dialogue in Terror Train, rather than more.[4]
There was no stage show magician in the original script, but Canadian producer Sandy Howard was a big fan of magic and admirer of David Copperfield, who was also Canadian, and a magician character was written in. Copperfield's character becomes the suspect at one point of the movie, but it turns out to be a red herring when the real killer is revealed to be Kenny Hampson, nicknamed "Ken", prompting some sources (such as IMDB) to list Copperfield's character name as "Ken the Magician." At no point in the script, movie or credits is Copperfield's character named anything aside from "The Magician."[5]
Canadian actor Derek MacKinnon, who played the masked killer, appears in 11 scenes in Terror Train, wearing a different costume or masked disguise in each scene, including his real character of Kenny.
The film was released theatrically in the United States by 20th Century Fox in October 1980. It grossed an estimate $8,000,000 at the box office.[6]
The film was first released on VHS home video in 1988 by CBS/Fox Video.[7] The film was released twice on DVD by 20th Century Fox; once in 2004 as a single edition release[8] and again in 2008 in a triple pack alongside Candyman 2 and the original The Fog.[9] Shout! Factory has released a new collector's edition Blu-ray Disc under their sub-label, Scream Factory, in addition to a new DVD release.[10]
In March 2010, the film screened at the New Beverly Cinema.[11]
Critical reception[edit]
The film received a generally negative response from critics. Roger Ebert gave the film one out of four stars, writing "The classic horror films of the 1930s appealed to the intelligence of its audiences, to their sense of humor and irony. Movies like Terror Train, and all of its sordid predecessors and its rip-offs still to come, just don't care. They're a series of sensations, strung together on a plot. Any plot will do. Just don't forget the knife, and the girl, and the blood."[12] Allmovie wrote, "Terror Train is too mediocre a piece of work to raise interest from anyone but the genre's most devoted fans",[13] while Time Out London called it "better than most of its kind."[14] The film currently holds a rating of 36% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, signifying "rotten".[15]

Lower-ranked nations need goalies to be their best players
QUEBEC CITY Edgars Masalskis, Pal Grotnes, Vitali Koval, and Robert Kristan, welcome to the club. The Vulcanized Rubber Club, that is.At the 2008 IIHF World Championship, these four men became part of a long tradition of underdog netminders who have shone in international competition - win, lose, or (in the old days) tie.Masalskis posted 61 saves for Latvia versus Finland in a 2-1 loss on Friday, and Grotnes had 50 in goal for Norway during a 2-1 defeat versus Canada the day before. In goal for Belarus on Friday, Koval frequently frustrated Russian snipers as he recorded 52 stops. Kristan, meanwhile, made 60 saves in a 5-1 tournament-opening loss to the Canadians. Looking at the scoresheet afterwards, Slovenian coach Mats Waltin said: I see here it says Canada had 65 shots. I thought it was 95.These beleaguered backstops arent leading the luxurious lifestyle of their NHL counterparts.For example, Grotnes, who celebrated his 31st birthday with an emotional 3-2 comeback win over Germany on May 7, works as a carpenter when he isnt between the pipes for Comet IK of the Norwegian Eliteserien.He was outstanding, Canadas Mike Green said of Grotnes. I had a couple chances I thought I could bury on him, but he made some great saves. I think he was their best player tonight.So internationally, who else has come close to emulating Ron Tugnutts 70-save performance for the Quebec Nordiques in a 3-3 tie with Boston on March 21, 1991?Go back more than 40 years, and you may find Swedish fans who recall the heroics of East German goalie Peter Kolbe (nicknamed The White Mask). His finest hour came at the 1966 IIHF World Championship in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, where the GDR pulled off a shocking 4-1 win over Sweden, and Kolbe, wearing the unusual #16, made 73 saves.Here is a handful of other standout showings from more recent decades.Stan Reddick, Slovenia (April 29, 2002 versus Sweden): At age 32, the Toronto-born brother of Eldon Pokey Reddick suited up for the nation where hed played four pro seasons for Olimpija Ljubljana of the Alpenliga. Versus Tre Kronor, he made 21 saves in the first period, 15 in the second, and 21 in the third. Sure, the final score was an unflattering 8-2, but Reddick deserved the applause he got from the Gothenburg crowd of 8,356.Naoya Kikuchi, Japan (April 28, 2002 versus the Czech Republic): Talk about making a splash in your World Championship debut. The unknown netminder for the Land of the Rising Sun foiled Jaromir Jagr on multiple breakaways and recorded 41 stops in a 5-3 loss, in which the score was tied 3-3 midway through the third period. Obviously, Kikuchi enjoyed the pre-game sushi that one of his teammates mother and sister prepared.Jim Corsi, Italy (April 21, 1982 versus Canada): So you think goalies at the 2008 IIHF World Championship have it tough against snipers such as Alexander Ovechkin, Dany Heatley, and Ilya Kovalchuk? How about going up against Wayne Gretzky the year he scored an NHL-record 92 goals? Thats what the Montreal-born Corsi successfully did in a 3-3 tie in Tampere, Finland, also fending off the likes of Bobby Smith, Dino Ciccarelli, and Mike Gartner. He had some idea of what to expect from Gretzky, since hed played 26 games for the Edmonton Oilers in 1979-80. Today, at age 53, Corsi doubles as the goalie coach for the Italian national team and the Buffalo Sabres. Hes the author of The Hockey Goalies Handbook.Peter Hirsch, Denmark (April 26, 2003 versus the USA): To date, this 5-2 remains Hirschs finest outing, and it was the Copenhagen natives first game at the Worlds. He made 53 saves as Denmark announced to the world that it was truly back in the elite division after a 53-year absence. At the other end, Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres was yanked in favour of German League veteran Chris Rogles. Hirsch didnt stop here, either, as he also recorded 41 stops versus Canada in a 2-2 tie.Andrei Mezin, Belarus (February 20, 2002): Mezin was the man of the hour in what was the second most famous upset in Olympic history after the USAs 4-3 victory over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Miracle on Ice. The diminutive 28-year-old goalie dove, flopped, and stretched out with a nothing-to-lose attitude, making 44 saves as Belarus beat Sweden 4-3 in the quarter-finals. I dont understand how we could lose against this team, said Swedish captain Mats Sundin. Tre Kronor had amassed a perfect record in Salt Lake City before this stunning defeat. Sometimes a gun without bullets can shoot, Mezin said afterwards of his teams improbable feat. Belarus finished fourth.Martin Gerber, Switzerland (February 19, 2006 versus Canada): The Swiss had never beaten Canada in seven tries at the Olympics in 86 years. That era of futility came to an end at the Torino Esposizioni thanks in large part to Gerbers brilliance, as the veteran NHLer made 49 saves for a 2-0 shutout. Paul DiPietro, a 1993 Stanley Cup winner with the Montreal Canadiens, did the rest of the damage with both goals. LUCAS AYKROYD
