The worst I get is just hitting my hand on the hardwood table, hurting it enough to realise I'm an idiot. Then quit the game/source of major frustration.
In Multiplayer I try and keep my cool a bit more and take it out a little bit at a time through talking. If it bottles over though it's better to just leave instead of saying something stupid.
You can only throw computers out of closed windows eh?
Speedrunning is slowly teaching me not to care, since its all about putting in hours and hours just to lose it all. Now I can more often respond with an "oh" or talk about how stupid what just happened was, rather than being angry at it. I flip my shit still if its not my fault though.

Yeah, this is mostly it for me. Although I have ragequit games on the (3)DS numerous times, given how easy it is to just slam the thing shut.

I never really get angry. Most of the time I just chuckle at my own misfortune. If something's ever too bad I just walk away and come back later with a renewed resolve to conquer what I couldn't before. That's the only way I was able to beat Dark Souls.

I only ever got angry while playing Arena in WoW because we were doing rather well then we hit a brick wall of teams which would dominate us. A lot of the time we couldn't do anything about it and arena started getting to the stage were unless you some classes got to be e-z-mode while others became difficult.
I eventually stopped playing in arena because it'd work me up and it just wasn't worth it.

Not really... I sometimes get frustrated and if it gets real bad, then I just take a deep breath and do something else for a while before returning to it. I rarely do much group content in games though (co-operative stuff mostly) because I tend to get super nervous whenever other people depend on my abilities.
Never been angry though, and definitely haven't thrown anything.

I've cursed before, but I stop before it gets to the point where I feel like throwing something. That's usually a point where I need to quit and do something else for a little while, anyway, and then I come back to it with a fresh mind and usually get over the obstacle in a few tries.
I think everyone has yelled at a game at one time or another. The few instances where I've been frustrated enough to want to throw a controller I've simply turned the game off. If it's making you that angry why continue? Take a break and come back later when you're more composed.

Yelled during the Bad Company 2 days because it felt strange compared to older BF games. It's been years since then.
Banged the keyboard several times in my time, but I haven't done it in years.
Only broke one peripheral: my (good) Dualshock 3 against the wall until it shattered (3 months ago) because trying to jump off a building after an assassination in GTA V was hell. FUCK consoles, they're fucking primitive in every way. So fucking frustrating to play that shit, gimme a fucking keyboard.

Push ups and lift some weights.
No seriously. If you are feeling rage all of those things mentioned are just a way to let off steam to let loose your pent up excess energy. So do some physical exercises. It's a very useful strategy. Not only are you channeling that rage and energy into something productive, you are doing it in a very constructive and useful way, it's acts as a good stimuli, it lets out the anger, with adrenaline you do a better exercise, gaming is also very passive and a stretch helps with both fatigue and making up for lying on the couch/bed/sitting. You don't need to be some fitness junkie either, I'm a sloth essentially. It's killing like 3-4 birds with one stone.
I will get incredibly grumpy if I keep getting what I feel is unfairly shot in FPS games. I swear sometimes my noggin would be a bullet magnet. Thing is is that I would get frustrated but keep playing, and then it would get worse and worse until I finally quit. Then I would be a grumpasaurus for a good hour. Never broke anything though!
Sworn and raised my voice against other players and AI, never over game speak though, always just to the empty room I'm in. Especially in dota. After a particularly shit match, all you can do is go for a walk and try not to dwell on it. That shouldn't be as hard as it is though sometimes. Which means I should probably do something to stop taking it as seriously.

It's pretty rare for me to actually get mad at a game, but when I do I pretty much just do this. People who legit flip out on a game kind of freak me out.

I think the most I ever raged at a game was the Monaco Circuit in 3D Dot Game Heroes. I probably spent a good two hours straight re-trying the same damn minute long bit of game that requires ridiculously precise timing to complete. I was quite possibly yelling, and was definitely shaking pretty badly by the time I managed to do it. The reward? A sword that makes completing another, MORE frustrating part of the game minimally easier. I never did complete that part, I just looked the other way at that point. Fuck that game.

I'm sure I've yelled at a game (I know I've yelled at my computer at work quite a few times) but my most frequent response to games that anger me is quitting that game, forever.

This guy knows what's up. Being challenged can be fun, but getting all-out upset is not enjoyable. And since joy is (usually) the reason we play in the first place, a game that just makes you mad is probably not worth your time.

I'll complain aloud, then turn off the game if it gets too bad. I'm generally not a very good player when I'm angry. I don't throw or hit things.
I have done all those things and well, even worse at times.
At some point in my adult life, instead of screaming or hitting shit, I decided that laughing was a better way to deal with anger. Now when I get pissed at a game, I just chuckle at my own stupid angry feelings and now I have less holes in my dry wall!

I used to give my armrest a single good downwards pound, but I think I almost fractured a bone in my hand once so I stopped.
Now I mostly turn the game off and walk around cursing its audacity to displease me for 30 seconds before I grow up and move on.

The worst was when I was a kid (like 12?) and I threw a pair of scissors at my TV over Time Crisis. I had got to the end of a stage apart from one last enemy and the calibration was slightly out and I couldn't shoot em.
Embarassingly, I think I "lost" a PS3 controller to Demon Souls (i.e. I hit a wall in the game and my controller hit a wall IRL) and that was in my early 20s. I ended up using the broken buttons to decorate something. I tend to limit myself to shouting now and don't get so angry - I get pretty embarassed thinking back at how I angry I used to get. Now if I feel myself getting frustrated I save the game, go have a cigarette and do something else for a while. Clichéd and all, and gaming isn't always supposed to be 'fun', but it's never worth losing your shit over.
However, lost count over how many hilarious examples of hearing people losing their shit on online games - so, so much gold. Grown adults having to have "a talking to" on teamspeak, brilliant.
Like everyone else I have the "Fuck this bullshit!" response. If it escalates I drop my controller on the nearest soft surface and just chill for a minute or two(or just turn off the game).
The worst it's ever gotten was back in my Starcraft 2 days. I'd been playing a lot and having some real problems with aspects of the game, and I was playing with a friend, TvZ probably, and getting frustrated but wanted to keep playing. I lost again(probably TvZ) and slammed my mouse down and it bounced off my desk. It had a crack running down it and the scroll wheel was a bit loose, but it still worked. I cooled down almost immediately when I realized how dumb it was. Held onto that mouse for a while longer too.
I'm not the type of person to get super angry about anything.
That's the type of quality I want in my king!
Most of my anger is internalized, like I'll yell at the game but inside of my own head, I say horrible vile terrible things, I use every insult to any human being possible inside of my head, but it's all up there, and I don't mean any of it, but when a game is really getting to me that's what I do.
Occasionally I'll let off a singular "fuck, shit, damn" but it doesn't happen often and if it does I'm usually either by myself in the house, or playing a co-op game with my friend and they are more or less indicators that I'm in trouble/my health is low then it is me getting mad at the game.
When I was younger though I did hit keyboard or two, never out of super hard "I will break you" rage but mostly just a quick boof and then it would make that lock up ding noise when you hit to many keys and I'd stop.
But any anger I get, the second I get it, I am then over it, it is never a sustained thing, just a moment of "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEokay I'm god now"
Yes. Most recently I played that new Deadpool game which goes from generic action game to annoying piece of shit cheating die immediately bullshit garbage.
That's actually the first game to piss me off in a long time in that way.
When I realized what it was doing to me I exited and deleted it. It's never worth it to get that mad at a game.

The only two games I can think of that really pissed me off were Infamous and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Not because of their difficulty but because they felt cheap in one way or another. I remember screaming BITCH and having my mom ask me later that day if I'd got into a fight with my girlfriend or something.

I set Dark Souls on fire.
That was so dumb of me, I can't believe I'd do that over O&S. So easy now...
I have yelled at the tv, I have broken a few controllers and I have smashed a keyboard. I also put a couple holes in the wall. All of this was in my younger teens and don't (for the most part) do these things anymore. I get frustrated and talk sarcastically at the tv but don't yell anymore and I had a good stretch of not breaking anything or putting holes into walls, but in 2009 a game broke me. It was Uncharted 2 and I don't remember what caused me to break the controller but I was pissed and slammed it against the ground. I then cursed at myself and drove to Best Buy to get a new one while my brother was laughing at me. I wish I remember what literally broke me to do that (must have been a bad day) but if something from those games should've done that (and almost did) it would be the shipping yard bullshit from 3, that part was fucking horse shit.
EDIT: Like some have said, I usually rage quit before I get to those points, but some games I really want to beat and that is where I end up talking to the tv/myself and my wife looks at me funny for "taking it too seriously." Most recent example would be I raged quit Luigi's Mansion 2 on the second to last level and I was talking sarcastically to Tomb Raider on one of the stupid puzzles near the end of the game a few weeks back.

Home-field Advantage
Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin is confident. "We have the best roster that we've had in the three years I've been here," he told fans at the team's annual kickoff luncheon. "And most of all, we've got people that care about football, that care about one another and want to make a difference. That's why I'm so optimistic about the 2014 season."
Optimism, however, doesn't win ball games — playmakers do. Thursday night's matchup against the St. Louis Rams at Sun Life Stadium may just offer a glimpse into the future.
The Dolphins' first team will want to end the 2014 preseason on a high note, riding a big, fat W into the regular-season opener against the Patriots. For players on the chopping block, Thursday's game against the Rams means a shot at redemption; an impressive performance may earn them a one-way ticket onto the 53-man regular-season roster. But they need your help, according to Philbin.
"We need each and every one of you [fans] to make Sun Life Stadium a decided home-field advantage for our football team." Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Sun Life Stadium (2269 NW 199th St., Miami Gardens), and tickets cost $40 to $370 via ticketmaster.com.

Financial management takes center stage as agencies root out wasted billions
As federal employees are furloughed, programs and contractors are cut, and agreement on future federal budgets appears remote, efficient management of the trillions of dollars it takes to operate the government is more important than ever. In Federal News Radio's on-air and online series, "Rise of the Money People: Financial management moves front and center as agencies make the final assault on wasted billions," we shine the light on chief financial officers and their soldiers in the financial wars, their strategies and tactics for waging the fight, the current and emerging weapons in their arsenal, and how their future battles will unfold.

Knowing how to address the needs of employees with caregiving responsibilities can be complicated. It becomes even more challenging when an employee's parent or child becomes so seriously ill that the employee requests a leave of absence to provide care that is not physical, but psychological. Attorneys Dena B. Calo and Julia A. O'Halloran offer some insights into how an employer can handle such a situation based on a hypothetical scenario and actual court outcomes.
Dear Employment Law Specialists,
Several months ago, we approved FMLA leave for an employee to care for her father who was undergoing cancer treatment. We recently found out, through investigation, that our employee did not ever actually visit her father. Rather, she now claims that she spoke with him consistently over the phone throughout her leave, and that she consulted with her father's doctors about his treatment. Is it possible that her leave could still be protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act, even though she never saw her father? – R.S., HR Director.

Survey Findings Published By Aberdeen Support the NetEvidence Strategic Approach to Network Performance Management
NetEvidence, a leader in network performance management services, today announced the availability of a new research report on network and application performance by the Aberdeen Group, a Harte Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS).
The survey report, entitled "The Value of Network and Application Visibility: Improving the Usability of Performance Data" and sponsored by NetEvidence, found that while 85% of the organizations surveyed collected more network and performance data over the last two years, less than half of these organisations (41%) had seen any improvement in their ability to prevent performance issues.
"Best-In-Class organizations don't spend significantly more on network monitoring — and yet they have over double the success rate at preventing performance issues when compared to other organizations," said Bojan Simic, a research analyst at Aberdeen. "What's the difference? Best-In-Class are doing a better job at selecting tools, primarily deploying systems which not only collect more data, but then make that information more usable. This results in faster more qualified decision making for the organization."
To obtain a complimentary copy of this report, visit: http://www.aberdeen.com/link/sponsor.asp?spid=30411394&cid=5297
The study, based on a survey of 176 organizations, examines best practices for improving visibility into network and application performance. These findings serve as guidelines to organizations looking to achieve their operational and business goals for network and application performance management.
The research shows that Best-in-Class organizations are more likely to use application response times, application availability, quality of end-user experience, and application SLAs when evaluating their network and application visibility initiatives. On the other side, Industry Average and Laggard organizations are more likely to use the number of end-user complaints, unplanned network downtime and network SLAs as the key performance indicators for network and application performance management.
"Enterprises simply want network performance information that supports rapid qualified decision making. NetEvidence's SaaS solution is delivering this capability all over the world," said Richard Thomas, CEO of NetEvidence. "Our philosophy from day one has been to focus on providing an intuitive visual interface with a 'business-centric view' of what's happening on these critical networks and applications. This information can easily be shared with colleagues globally and even with Network Providers themselves."
"The usability of this interface is critical: it needs to be more than a mass of numbers and crude graphics. For instance, it's hard to know if an application delay of 2.5 seconds is OK, but knowing it's 50% up over last week, or 200% this quarter, and knowing about capacity bottlenecks over the same period makes the information actionable. NetEvidence's decision to deliver the service via a SaaS model speeds up delivery times and eliminates capital expenditure."

The company's flagship product, Highlight, is a real-time, browser-based solution that delivers powerful, intuitive, application-aware network performance management services.

Carmen paused in the middle of hanging the nursery's new curtains. She looked down at Mennah, listened to her chirping her latest "word," her heart in a state of expansion.
She'd gotten used to feeling her heart filling her whole chest, her whole being, since she'd given birth to her daughter.
She'd demanded Mennah the moment she'd come out of her womb, disregarding the doctor's grumbling that he had to close said womb first. He'd succumbed, though, had placed the smeared, nine-pound miracle on Carmen's bosom. And for long moments, as she'd first touched her baby, felt her precious weight, her flesh and heat and reality, Carmen had been afraid she wouldn't survive the explosion of emotions raging through her.
She'd searched for the right name long and hard. She'd found the perfect one, what this baby was, in her father's mother tongue. Mennah. Her gift from God.
Now her gift was latching chubby fingers onto her play-pen's railings, hauling herself up to a standing position. She then tried to stand unsupported and landed on her diaper-padded bottom with a cry of chagrin-mixed glee, tearing a laugh from Carmen's depths.
"Oh, Mennah, darling, you're in such a hurry."
And she was. At only nine months, she'd been sitting unsupported for almost three, crawling for almost two and was now clearly on her way to overtaking another milestone.
Carmen slotted the last hook, climbed down the ladder and headed to the playpen. Her sunny angel grinned at her, good nature brimming from golden eyes, displaying her newly acquired set of teeth, her dimples flashing in the perfection of her cherubic face. A surge of emotions clogged Carmen's throat, rising to her eyes.
Could she have been so blessed?
Mennah held up her arms. Carmen obliged at once, bent and cradled the robust little body that was her reason for living. Mennah mashed her face into her mother's neck, and Carmen's arms convulsed around her. It was a good thing Mennah loved fierce hugs. Carmen bore down on the flare of love, rocked Mennah in her arms, one hand luxuriating in the raven silk of her locks. Hmm, the bald patch from before Mennah started rolling around was totally gone.
Suddenly Mennah pushed away, looked up expectantly. "Bagha bagha."
Carmen tickled her nose. "Yes, darling, you're trying to tell me something and your mommy is so dense she hasn't figured it out yet. But that's a new word. Give me a day and I'll figure it out. Say—could it be you're telling me you're hungry? It has been a couple of hours since you've eaten." Carmen started to undo her shirt only for Mennah to slap her hands on top of Carmen's, squealing, part playful, part admonishing. Carmen sighed. "No mommy-produced sustenance?"
Mennah giggled. Carmen sighed again. She'd been hoping to prolong nursing. But this was another area where Mennah was in a hurry. She'd been refusing to nurse more and more ever since she'd been introduced to solid foods, decreasing Carmen's milk flow. This was the second day with no nursing at all. During that time Mennah had even given her grief about eating previously much-loved foods. And Carmen could guess why.
"I shouldn't have given you a taste of my filet mignon, darling. Seems you share more than your looks with your father. He, too, is a big panther who relishes red meat—"
Carmen stopped. Mennah was looking up at her with such absorption, as if she was memorizing everything her mother said.
Carmen had been indulging in the heartbreaking pleasure of constantly talking to her about her father. Maybe she should resist giving in to the urge. There was no way Mennah understood now, but maybe before Carmen realized, she would. And she didn't want to explain her father's absence for years. Not that she'd ever have enough time to come up with an adequate explanation.
Exhaling, shaking off a resurgence of the despondency that had suffocated her all through her pregnancy, she walked out of the nursery, headed to their open-plan, sunlit kitchen.
She secured Mennah in her high chair, dropped a kiss on top of her glossy head. "One bagha bagha coming up."
She placed plastic toys in front of Mennah, set the iPod to a slow rock collection and started preparing the dish that had converted her baby to gourmet cuisine. Amidst singing along with her favorite songs and Mennah's accompanying shrieks of enthusiasm, she stopped periodically to gather the toys with which Mennah gleefully tested gravity, giving them back to her so she'd restart her experiments over and over again.
She was finishing the mushroom sauce when she noticed it had been a couple of minutes since she'd fetched for Mennah, since her daughter's squeals had disharmonized with her singing.
She turned around and her heart overflowed with another gush of love. Mennah was out like a light on the high chair's tray.
She always did fall asleep without warning. But she couldn't have been hungry after all, if she could fall asleep among all those mouthwatering aromas.
Sighing, eyeing the meal that had to be served hot to be good, Carmen turned off the music, unbuckled Mennah from her seat then went to put her down in her crib.
The singing had stopped.
The crashing of Farooq's heart hadn't.
And it wasn't only his heart that manifested his upheaval. Every muscle in his body was clenched, every nerve discharging.
He'd been standing there for what felt like a day, listening to the sounds coming from inside. Wistful love songs accompanied by the gleeful noises of an infant. And the overpowering melody of a siren.
He'd willed himself over and over to ring the bell. Better still, to break down the door.
He'd just stood there, his ear almost to the door to catch every decibel of a slice of life of the tiny family that lived inside, his hands caressing the door as if it were them.
He felt as if he'd disintegrate with an emotion so fierce he had no name for it, no experience and no way to deal with it.
It had to be rage. An unknown level that made what he'd felt when Carmen had told him she was leaving pale in comparison. It dwarfed what he'd felt when he'd pursued her, bent on erasing the ugliness, the madness of that confrontation, on bringing back his Carmen and the perfection they'd shared, only for more betrayal to tear at him when he'd seen her getting into his cousin Tareq's car. It even eclipsed what he'd felt when he'd confronted Tareq and discovered why she'd really left.
His cousin and arch nemesis had confessed that he'd sent Carmen to seduce Farooq, to get pregnant and create a scandal large enough to stop Farooq's rise to the succession. Tareq had snickered that their uncle's latest decree had thrown a sabot in the cogs of his treachery, turning a pregnancy into an asset, not a liability, forcing him to order Carmen to leave, going back to the drawing board to think of something else to eliminate Farooq from the running.
It had all made sense to Farooq then. From the moment he'd seen her to the moment she'd walked out on him.
Or he'd thought it had.
It had been only hours ago that he'd learned the full truth.
Another tidal wave of emotion crashed over him.
Ya Ullah—he'd never struggled for control, had never even contemplated its loss. He'd been born in control, of himself before others. His urges and desires were his to command, never the other way around. Then there was Carmen.
He'd lost control with his first sight of her, had lost his discretion while drowning in her pleasures, had almost lost his restraint upon her desertion.
Now he was a hairsbreadth from losing his reason.
And it was her doing yet again.
He leaned his forehead on the door, forced inhalations into his spastic lungs, order into his frenzied thoughts, willing the blinding seizure to pass.
It took minutes and the nosiness of two neighbors to bring him down. He regained at least enough control to settle a semblance of composure over the chaos, smothering it. Enough to make him reach a resolution.
He'd never let her affect him that deeply again. Ever.
He'd go in, take what he wanted. As he always did.
He straightened, set his teeth with great precision and almost drove his finger through her doorbell.
Carmen jerked up from watching Mennah sleep. The bell!
Though it almost never rang, she'd been waiting for her super to come fix the short-circuit in the laundry room. He'd said within the next two days. Four days ago.
But it was the way the bell rang that had made her jump. It had almost bellowed, for lack of a better description. Maybe it was about to give, too, and that sound was its dying throes?
Sighing, she checked Mennah's monitor and the wireless receiver clipped to her jeans' waist. On her way to the door, she smoothed her hands over her hair but gave up in midmotion with a huff. A disheveled greeter was what her super got for coming unannounced, catching a single mother with a dozen chores behind her and a shower still in her future.
Fixing a smile on her lips, intending her greeting to be thanks for his arrival if no thanks for his delay, she opened the door.
Her heart didn't stop immediately.
It went on with its rhythm for a moment, the kind that simulated hours, before it lost the blood it needed to keep on pumping. The blood now shooting to her head, pooling in her legs. Then it stopped.
And everything else hurtled, screeched, into consciousness.
Denial, dread, desperation.
She'd changed her career to work from home, had relocated to the other side of the continent, had still remained scared that he'd find her. But he hadn't, and eventually she'd believed he hadn't tried, or hadn't been able to.
But he had found her. Was on her doorstep. Farooq.
Filling her doorway. Blocking out existence.
She found herself slumped against the door, her fingers almost breaking off with the force with which they clutched it. Some instinct must have remained functioning, saving her from crashing to the ground. Some auxiliary power must be fueling her continued grip on consciousness.
"Save it."
That was all he said as he pushed past her, walking into her apartment as if he owned it. And his voice
This wasn't the voice etched in her memory. The voice that echoed in every moment's silence, haunting her, whispering seduction, rumbling arousal, roaring completion, always charged with emotion. This voice contained as much life as a voice simulation program.
God, what was he doing here?
No. She didn't care what he was doing here. She didn't care that her insides were crumbling under the avalanche of emotion the sight of him had triggered.
She had to get rid of him. Fast.
She had to regain control first, of her coherence, to think of something to say, of her volition, to be able to say it.
She leaned against the door she didn't remember closing, feeling as if the least tremor would shatter the tension keeping her upright. She watched his powerful strides take him into the formal living room, felt him shrinking it, converging all light on him like a spotlight in the dark.
And even through her shock and panic, everything inside her devoured each line of his juggernaut's body, even bigger and taller than she remembered, the sculpted suit worshipping it from the daunting breadth of shoulders, to the sparseness of waist and hips, to the formidable power of thighs and endless legs.
Memory was a sadistic master, lashing open festering wounds with images and sensations, of those shoulders dominating her, those hips thrusting her to a frenzy, those thighs and legs encompassing her in the aftermath of madness.
She tore her gaze and memories away, choking on longing. Then he turned, and everything in her piled up with the brunt of his beauty, the rawness of her still-burning love.
His heavy-lidded gaze documented her reaction before he raised both eyebrows, a movement rich in nonchalance and imperiousness. "Finished with your latest act, or shall I wait until you've delivered the full performance?"
It wasn't only his voice that was different. This wasn't the Farooq she remembered. This wasn't even the hostile stranger she'd walked out on. That man had been seething with harshness, with emotion. This man was even more forbidding, as he eyed her with the clinical coldness of a scientist dealing with inanimate matter.
His lips pursed as if he were assessing a defective product. He finally gave a slight shake of his awesome head, lips twisting on his unfavorable verdict. "As an unbiased viewer, I must tell you, your acting abilities are slipping. Exaggeration is not your friend."
Before she could even process his dispassionate comment, let alone find words to answer it, he relieved her of his focus, cast his gaze around her space.
She could see his connoisseur's mind adding up the worth of every square foot, every piece of furniture, brush stroke and decorative article and felt defensive. Though she'd made this place chic and cheery, it could well be derelict compared to the opulence he was used to. Which was a stupid thing to feel and think.
She had to make him leave. Now. Before Mennah woke up. Before he saw the childproofing she'd begun installing.
He finally returned those empty eyes to hers as he walked back toward her. She watched him cross the distance between them with the fatalism of someone about to be hit by a train.
"It cost a bundle, this place," he murmured. "I would have wondered how you afforded it. If I didn't already know."
She almost blurted out "What do you mean by that?" She didn't. She couldn't locate her voice. Her heart had long invaded her throat. She could barely breathe enough to keep from passing out. And his indifference and disparagement were encasing her in frost, hurrying her descent. Everything was taking on a surreal tinge. She began to hope this was a scenario out of her Farooq-starved imagination.
Then he was within touching distance. And she had to prove to herself he was—or wasn't—really here.
She reached out a trembling hand, half expecting her fingertips to encounter a mirage. Instead they feathered over black-silk-covered flesh, the layered sensations of softness and steel, heat and hardness. Her fingers pressed into him, shudders engulfing her, like an electrocution victim unable to break the deadly circuit.
And she saw it, in his eyes. A response, blasting away the ice, mushrooming like a nuclear cloud before the wave of annihilation followed. Before he clamped onto her intruding hand.
A moan punched out of her as he squeezed awareness from her flesh and bones. Then, with scary precision, he removed her hand from his chest, let it drop like a soiled tissue.
With his eyes empty again, he half turned, raising his head as if sniffing for an oncoming storm.
"Hmm filet mignon with mushroom sauce?" He turned his eyes to her. They weren't back to impassivity at all, the harshness she'd seen in them that night in his penthouse polluting the amber. "Expecting a guest? Or is it a sponsor?" She gaped at him. His voice dipped into an abrasive bass. "I hope you've had enough of the shocked routine and will contribute to what started as a monologue and is now bordering on a soliloquy."
Contribute. He wanted her to contribute. She had exactly four words to contribute. The sum total of what was left of her mind.
"Why are you here?"
Something feral flashed in the depths of his wolflike eyes. "So, you deem to end the mute show. If only to put on the dumb one."
Each word was a lash on her rawness. "Please stop." He inclined his head, a predator at leisure, his prey cornered, with all the time in the world to torment it. "Stop what? Critiquing your below par performance? You have only yourself to blame for that. It seems you haven't been honing your craft of late."
"Please I don't understand."
"More acts, Carmen? Don't you know the key to a successful acting career, especially an offstage one, is sticking with your strengths? My advice: never try the particular roles you just churned up for my benefit again. They neither suit nor work."
"For God's sake, stop talking in riddles. Why are you here?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Intent on dramatizing to the end, aren't you? Or are you just intent on testing the limits of my patience? The reason I'm here is self-evident."
She shook her head. "Not to me. So please, drop your act and just say what you came here to say, and then—please—leave me alone."
He seemed to expand like a thundercloud about to hurtle down destruction, a beam of the day's dying sun striking a solar flare of rage in the gold of his eyes.
"I once told you that I have my fill of games. I thought you had enough intelligence not to join the would-be manipulators who swarm around me. At least not to try the same trick twice. Evidently I've overestimated your IQ. This will be the last time I take part in one of your games, so savor it while you can. Try another at your peril." He inclined his head at her, sent her heart slamming in her chest. "You want me to pretend I don't know that you know why I'm here? Zain. Fine." He gave a pause laden with the irony of someone about to deliver something redundant, the disgust of being forced to play an offensive game of make-believe.
Then he drawled, smooth and sharp as a razor, "I am here for my daughter."

I love this book! Olivia Gates used her characteristically flawless style of deep emotions, intelligent layers, and vivid descriptions to write one dynamite book that I read in a single sitting.
The chemistry between the two characters jumped off each page, then to boost it into the stratosphere, she added a baby. A baby! The description of her cherubic face alone caused me to ovulate on the spot!
Throw in a 6'4" alpha male whose guarded heart has turned to jelly at the first glance of her two-toothed, drooly grin, and your heart will melt, too. Theirs is the most amazingly real, deeply emotional, poignant father/daughter first encounter I've ever read. Gates had me smiling through my tears.
One of my favorite scenes of all times is where we meet Farooq's brothers, the heroes from the other two books of the trilogy. Seeing the three gorgeous alpha males passing around the newest little addition to their family, and witnessing as she melts their hearts, took my breath away. It was this scene, too where Carmen first began to win over her future brothers-in-law with her wit, talent for languages, and refusal to be intimidated.
But, it isn't all baby cuddles and giggles. There's a question of legitimacy and oh, yeah keeping the crown in the family. All that, and Olivia still manages to bring us plenty of the hottest, most passionate love in all of romance.
Once again, Gates keeps us thoroughly enthralled in a world of such rich and vibrant description, that you'll have to ask yourself later if you read the book or watched a movie.
You won't want to wait between books, so you might as well buy all three at once!

Carmen and Farooq have a passion together, a passion so intense that the emotion could burn up oxygen, leaving them (and the reader) gasping for air! Together, Carmen and Farooq share the intimacies of passion, their bodies hungering for each other, intoxicated by their desire. After their first night together, Farooq offers her a three month deal to accompany him on a tour for peace and relief. Carmen never even considered the monetary benefits of being a prince's mistress. Her passion for Farooq wanted nothing more than Farooq and his love until a sudden change of circumstances forces her to rethink matters. Discovering that she is pregnant, suddenly Carmen must think of her child's future and safety. She cannot let her child be a pawn in the royal Judar household and the political intrigue that might endanger them all. She walks out on Farooq. She travels over continents to keep their presence hidden from forces she cannot control. Farooq has one passion --- to find Carmen and her baby and nothing will stop him, not even her. Hurt by her lies, Farooq is determined to make Carmen pay but can a fated love like theirs turn things around? Powerful, passionate and virile, Farooq demands attention, not just from his royal position but from the force of his personality. Carmen is equally determined and ferocious, especially when she has her child to consider. Can Carmen protect her daughter Mennah and love Farooq at the same time? Can he not only seduce her but win her heart? Can he show her that a man can serve country and family at the same time? Can their love for one another survive when Farooq is a man destined to lead Judar, a man called forth to serve his country, through blood and through merit? THE DESERT LORD'S BABY, Olivia Gates' debut in the Silhouette Desire line, is a romance full of passion and emotion from beginning to end. The romantic conflict between Farooq and Carmen sizzles with dynamic energy, sensuality, and unspoken secrets. Olivia Gates puts together a hero and heroine whose passion for one another leaps up off the page. Mennah, cute and yet just as audacious as her father for grabbing what she wants, moves the reader's heart as her presence and exuberance for life shines in the presence of her parents. Olivia Gates paints a beautiful portrait of a father loving a daughter, truly valuing his child for herself. THE DESERT LORD'S BABY looks at the body with powerful, poetic and unforgettable imagery --- especially during Carmen's wedding preparations. Sensual without being too graphic, the reader feels the sensuousness and beauty of the body as it breathes or reacts to its surroundings. In this romance, the reader feels the power of the body as amazing and beautiful, especially when love inspires her characters. In her debut romance for Silhouette Desire, the first of the Throne of Judar trilogy, Olivia Gates captures all the passion and poetry of romance. Brava!

Hi Shinethemes,
Great interesting and original theme! It is very nice. I love it on desktop and iOS, but I saw the demo on my Android phone and I came across an issue.
After loading Reveal on the Android device, I am able to swipe to the right, moving the content offscreen and showing the background images on screen instead. I believe this might be an error as I shouldn't be able to move the content offscreen.
I am just asking, will you have plans to fix this issue soon? It is a great, fast and responsive theme otherwise. Thanks!
Hi Andrireza,
Thank for interested, we have add some custom css and now Reveal looks fine on mobile.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: A stunning mountain setting
The hotel at Zeyn-od-Din, is a tastefully restored caravanserai from the Safavid Period, some 400 years ago. This is where travellers on the Silk Road may have stopped off with their camels and their goods to trade in Europe. Twice it has been voted the best restored monument in the World for sustainability. The hotel manager has been renting the caravanserai from Cultural Heritage to run as a hotel for four or five years now. The building is classed as a National Monument. The hotel can accommodate up to 30 people.
It was amazing to arrive at the caravanserai – the road leading to this place was desolate and there is nothing for miles around. Then you see it in the distance, an imposing fortress standing proud in the desert with the backdrop of the Zagros Mountains. It really is a stunning setting.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: Stuck in the middle
From the small entrance hall, you walk in to the large central courtyard. In the centre is a small raised platform surrounded by a pool akin to a moat. All around the courtyard are arched doorways leading to various rooms associated with the hotel, including some bedrooms. Everything here is filled with symbolism:
One courtyard / one caravanserai = One God
Twelve sides to the pool = the Twelve Imams
Five sides to the Caravanserai = Prophet Mohammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain.
After dark, the courtyard was beautifully and atmospherically lit with electric lights hidden behind terracotta vases. Very tastefully done.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: Making a not-so-grand entrance
The entrance is very low key, as would be suitable for a fortress. There is a small wooden door, which in fact is really quite narrow – I struggled to get myself and my bag through it. Once you come through the door though, it is like stepping into another world. Oriental carpets, glossy marble and low lighting – the hallway oozes charm and exoticism. There is no reception desk as such, only what you see in the photo. The whole thing is very casual and a taste of things to come.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: Wash-n-go
The toilets and bathrooms were segregated into male and female, and were worthy of a five star hotel. There were four showers and five toilets and they were beautifully clean with gleaming restored marble. The first night I used the shower, there was only a trickle of water, but it seems I was just unlucky with my choice of cubicle, as everyone else reported plenty of water. Towels were provided in each 'room'.
The nest morning there was a power cut, which meant that there was no water either, so no shower for us then. Ewers with water were provided for each bathroom and guests were requested not to flush the toilets.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: Feeling sleepy?
Even the bedrooms have a character all of their own. Behind the inner courtyard is a circular corridor which goes all around the back of the caravanserai. The rooms are raised platforms behind a curtain. Three steps lead to the platform and the beds are two mattresses on the platform floor. There are proper duvets and the mattresses are surprisingly comfortable. Next to the beds was a small area where you could store your bags. That was it! Whoever was sleeping on the inside had to scrawl over the person on the outside to get out. Yes, you can hear the other guests snoring during the night and getting up to use the bathroom, but it didn't bother us too much. It was well worth it for the experience.

Zeyn-od Din Caravanserai: And so to dinner
The dining room is like it's taken straight out of 1001 Arabian Nights. It is breathtaking. Low, soft lights, Persian rugs, starched white tablecloths, brass samovars and classic arches. Such a fabulous atmosphere. I doubt very much if this is what it looked like during the Safavid period when the travellers on the Silk Road stayed here. I doubt if they enjoyed such luxury, but it is easy to let your imagination carry you away and take you back to that period.

For black diamonds at Bhima Jewellery
Diamonds in black! This might seem an incredulous proposition to many but yes, black diamonds have made their foray into the capital city through an exhibition-cum- sale organised by Ratnaloka, the diamond sub-brand of Bhima Jewellery.
Natural colouring
A trendsetter, black diamond jewellery has a distinctive allure. The special collection, introduced for the first time in a traditional market like Kerala, features contemporary designs in which the diamonds are 'invisibly' set.
Says Suhas Rao, managing director, Bhima Jewellery, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary: "Our customers come to us asking for something new every time. The black diamond collection is a 'statement by itself.'"
Adding to the unique value of the black diamonds is that the colouring is natural. Explains Suhas: "Diamonds are basically carbon stones. Diamonds in black, pink or the colour of champagne are those that have a higher proportion of carbon in them. While it is possible to vary the colours of synthetic stones through heating, no such artificiality can be induced in diamonds."
While the collection features rings, earrings and pendants set in 18 carat gold, fancy rings are the most popular amongst customers in this limited edition sale that is on till the January 26. The prices of these exquisite pieces of craft depends on the size of the stones and the way they are set.
Explains Sanoj P.V, sales executive: "The reflection of the stones in a closely set design is higher, resulting in a higher price." One may own a black diamond ring by shelling out anywhere between Rs.15,000 to Rs. 20,000. The price of a set comprising a pendant and earrings ranges between Rs. 45,000 and Rs. 2.5 lakh. A black diamond bangle can be bought for roughly Rs. 65,000. It is not all about choosing from the collection on display as the store offers the option of getting a piece custom-made. The facility for make-to-order extends beyond this sale, which has met with "tremendous" response.
Says Suhas: "From being a gold market 10 years ago, those getting married are now investing 10 per cent of the total purchase on diamonds."
A certificate of authenticity in the form of a Diamond Card accompanies every purchase made from the jewellers.
Says Suhas: "Each and every piece is 100 per cent certified by the IGI (International Gemological Institute), SGL (Solitaire Gemological Laboratories) and the GIA (Gemological Institute of America)."
Ratnaloka also has a collection of white diamond jewellery in both traditional and contemporary designs.

The North China leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) is a subspecies of the leopard that can be found in northern areas of China. Its range is extremely fragmented. The average weight of this species varies between males and females, with males reaching a weight of 110 pounds and females reaching a weight of 71 pounds. It is similar in size to the Indochinese leopard, but differs slightly in color, growing shorter and darker fur. As is typical to leopard species, the North China leopard...

Critical Review by Robyn Selman
SOURCE: "Natural History," in Village Voice, Vol. 38, No. 2, January 12, 1993, pp. 81-2.
In the following review of New and Selected Poems, Selman praises Oliver's composure, sincerity, and dedication to her subject.
It's a beautiful winter day—one can't help noticing the day when one reads Mary Oliver—a day on which she's won another prize, this time the National Book Award for her seventh book, New and Selected Poems. I think of her at home in Provincetown, where she has a reputation for being something of a recluse. I also think of Elizabeth Bishop, the other National Book Award-winning recluse, with whom Oliver has much in common. Like Bishop, Oliver doesn't go in much for politics, poetic or public. You won't see poems by either of them in women-only anthologies. And the similarities continue: Oliver's poems are not, strictly speaking, personal. She rarely teaches and gives readings far less often than her contemporaries. As Bishop was, Mary Oliver is shy.
But not on the page. She is one of a very few poets who declares her artistic intention boldly and unasked, usually right up front like a platform, or maybe a dedication. "When it's over, I want to say: all my life / I was a bride married to amazement. / I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms."
With the style of an Eve Arden character. Oliver's poetic composure is unflagging. She sets the tone of her poems straight off, but she keeps her voice gentle, articulate, and capable, as self-knowing as Eve's. Although, as Bishop did, Oliver often asks questions in her poems ("Is the soul solid, like iron?"), questions that make room for ambivalence and quarrel, the poems rarely fall into an impasse. They're solved a thousand times by beauty.
Do you love this world?
Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?
Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden.
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers
Oliver's passionate medium is almost always the pastoral. Though one of her books, Dream Work contains meditations on the Holocaust and personal loss, the majority of her work, like D. H. Lawrence's, May Swenson's, Bishop's, and Marianne Moore's, focuses timelessly on the natural world. Unlike Moore and Bishop, Oliver doesn't anthropomorphize to quite the same effect. She is—and this isn't a negative comment, for I have none—less playful, more dogged, deadly sincere.
"One morning / the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, / and didn't see me—and I thought: / so this is the world. / I'm not in it. / It is beautiful." Originally from Ohio, Oliver moved to New England, where she worked as a secretary to Edna St. Vincent Millay's sister Norma. She also brings to mind the sober side of Millay, with whom she shares New England and a penchant for poems that have as their underlying subject matter the inevitability of one's own death. And like the later Millay, and most obviously Blake, Oliver infuses her work with a touch of the ecstatic.
In her own time, Oliver has a contemporary in the ecstatic musician Van Morrison; I draw the comparison in part to say that Oliver has few contemporaries in current American poetry, as well as to say that she and Van share a connection to a pastoral life that seems far away (to say the least) from our collective urban grasp. "Every year, / and every year / the hatchlings wake in the swaying branches, / in the silver baskets, / and love the world. / Is it necessary to say any more? / Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields? / Have you ever been so happy in your life?"
Mary Oliver is no guest in the woods. Her quotidian is made up of long walks, dog in tow, sleeping in a tent by a marsh, going out, not in, when a storm comes. At the outset of each poem, we are reminded of her daily task: testing the poet's vision. Her dedication to it is intense. For example, unlike other poets who use symbols from various mediums, Oliver keens her metaphors in the natural palette. Light of nature is never compared to the light of TV. ("When death comes / like an iceberg between the shoulder blades.")
In the vastness of New and Selected Poems, something new is unearthed about Oliver's insatiable hunger for the natural. The personal poems of Dream Work, which fall roughly halfway through the 250 pages, give off a centrifugal energy, drawing the reader in, throwing their power outward. But they're not confessional poems in the style to which we've grown accustomed. Personal moments appear like cloud formations, dense but in motion, throwing long, dark shadows of child abuse and breakdown as well as lightning bolts of blame, rage, and bitterness, all with only the lightest narrative detail. In the afterglow of these few pieces, one senses that for this poet nature is the parent, the companion, the hope, the boldly unselfconscious id riding the ego through the seasons.
I was always running around, looking
at this and that.
If I stopped
the pain
was unbearable.
If I stopped and thought, maybe
the world
can't be saved,
the pain
was unbearable.
Finally, I had noticed enough.
All around me in the forest
the white moths floated.
These new and selected poems; arranged newest to oldest, work, as you might expect, naturally—like memory, or the mind as it ages; true to a life of the imagination, strikingly declarative, and not at all shy.
