Sunday rides part 2
Here's the thing about Sundays and riding with me. I work all week, sometimes on Sat., dont have much time on weeknights to ride. So when Sun. comes around, I want to ride. I enjoy getting away from it all, only thinking of the road or trail ahead. My wife asked me awhile ago if we could start going to church, I looked at her and said "I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God then being in church thinking about my bike". To me its a state of mind, not a state of place. Enough said. I have my Sundays.
Went out again this past Sun. for a great ride, smaller crew this time, only three of us made it out. Brett on his V-Strom, Dave on his KLX-450 and me on my 990
The KLX looks like a mini next to the mighty 990
Now the thing about the three of us, no one knew the area that we were going to ride in! I do have a map of the area but it was safe at home. Guess we would just wing it and hope we didnt go down anything that we couldnt get out of.
This looks interesting, lets give it a try and see were it goes
It went to a bog at the bottom, ya think
So now we have three bikes at the bottom of a slick grassy, muddy, rutted hill. This should be fun.
Brett showing us how its done
Makes it up with out dumping it, good show on the strom
Now its my turn, did I mention that I have not got a new rear tire yet?
It was a little slick down there, plus having a knobby would make things too easy
My dad's a TV repair man, he has an awsome set of tools. We can fix that!

The 950 Super Enduro, Wyoming 2 tracks, and a stretch of I-80

I totally love sleeping out under the stars!! It is so refreshing. No tent to hassle with packing and unpacking. We woke up well rested and had our croffee.
We decided that we wanted to get up near the headwaters of the Green River since we spend quite a bit of time around it in Southern Utah. So we hopped on the pavement because we can. The Super Enduro is no doubt capable of chewing up pavement. In an hour we were in Dubois where we would leave the pavement again.
We start climbing toward the continental divide.
The roads were well maintained at this point.
Here we are looking off to the west of the divide.
We take a route that gets us off the beaten track a bit.
This crossing was a bit deeper than the previous and A LOT more rocky but still childs play for the Super Enduro.
Man, talk about nice riding!
Forest fires are common around the west in the summer. This one had been burning for a few days. It was relatively small. The headwaters of the Green River are to the right of the smoke.
This is the type of riding we live for.
The Super Enduro is such a versatile bike. It swallows freeways to get you into this type of terrain. A 950cc dirt bike? Totally ridiculous ..
We continue down these awesome trails toward the Green.
The route improves a bit along the Green.
Then we stumble onto this character. Hes been living on public land since 1987 he claimed. He had a small Yamaha road bike of some sort that he would haul inside his trailer when he moved locations. Hes been building his trailer along the way. Among numerous quotes that had us belly laughing, he stated we were in a vagrants paradise. Well said.

Recently, I was on a bus ride from Pittsburgh back to Philadelphia. I do this about once a month to visit my friends and party at a bar where we get free drinks and get to go into the club that's connected to it. FOR FREE. I pretty much go to Pittsburgh with $60.00 in my pocket.
Anyway, on the bus ride back to Philadelphia I sat next to a guy who slept for most of the ride. This didn't bother me because I have sat next to some pretty ridiculous people. I've had a girl fall asleep on my shoulder and a girl who just felt like leaning on me while she used her laptop. Compared to those two, I must say this guy was the ideal riding pard'ner.
When we got to the pit stop in Harrisburghhalfway through the triphe was still sleeping. "Well, if he wants to get up it's up to him," I thought. It's pretty obvious when the bus makes a stop because the jolt of the brakes can wake up anyone, including myself, and I sleep like a baby at all times. So I went in and got myself a breakfast bowl, coffee, and a bottle of water. I felt full and decided to finish my coffee and start the bottle of water on the bus while jamming to some great tunes.
I was in and out of sleep for a bit and when I woke up, we were stopping at the Harrisburg mall; the stop before Philadelphia. "Excuse me," the partner said.
I went to get up, thinking he was getting off here, but he grabbed my arm. "No, no. I must have slept while we were at the rest stop. Could I trouble you for some water?" My heart started beating and my stomach began to turn. How can someone ask a guy for his bottle of water? I don't even think about germs and stuff, but I'm pretty sure asking a total stranger for a sip of their water is rude.
"Suuuuuuureeeeee," I said in an awkwardly high pitched voice like I had been kicked in the balls. He took the bottle from my hands and examined it.
"Fred?" he asked, looking at the logo on the bottle.
"Yeah, I don't know."
"Haaaaa," he laughed. He began drinking my water. He didn't even "fountain" it! He just chugged it like it was his bottle.
For the next three hours, I sat with the bottle in my hand. My mouth was dry from the coffee and I was dying for water. I had no choice but to drink from the bottle of water.
Did it creep me out? YES. Do I have any regrets? YES. I've been fucking sick for the past week. What is the lesson learned? When a complete stranger asks for a sip of your water, tell them no.

Venezuela to Pay for Sidetur Nationalization
Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuela will determine a "fair" price and pay for the 2010 nationalization of Venezuelan steelmaker Siderurgica del Turbio SA, said industry minister Ricardo Menendez.
The Venezuelan government hasn't dismissed workers from the company known as Sidetur after it took control of its facilities, Menendez said today on state television. Sidetur was a unit of Caracas-based Siderurgica Venezolana Sivensa.
"We'll fight anyone who tries to sabotage the nationalization process in court," he said. "We're going to determine a fair price and pay it."
Venezuela's government took control of the company's operations and bank accounts this month, Sidetur's board said yesterday in a statement published in El Nacional newspaper. The takeover is illegal because the government hasn't yet paid for the asset seizure, according to the statement yesterday. The company has $76.25 million of outstanding bonds due in 2016 that pay a coupon of 10 percent.
Sidetur's assets have a book value of 1.2 billion bolivars ($288 million), and the company will buy back its debt once it settles with the government, Oswaldo Sahmkow, a finance official at Sidetur's parent company Sivensa, said last year.
Bonds Rise
The price on the bonds rose 5.85 percent to 86 cents on the dollar today at 1 p.m. in Caracas, the highest price since April 3, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"It would be viewed badly by the market if the government doesn't pay the debt," Francisco Ghersi, co-managing director of Caracas-based Knossos Asset Management who owns some of the bonds, said today in an e-mail. "It's a small amount compared to Venezuela's total external debt."
The government has to buy back the bonds and pay 101 cents on the dollar in the case of nationalization, according to the bond prospectus, said Ghersi. The company paid the latest coupon due on the bond on Oct. 20, he said.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who nationalized heavy crude-oil ventures with Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips in 2007, has continued to take over companies in the food, cement and telecommunications industries.

national or global level. Several participants emphasized the importance of collecting data, stating that information at smaller scales could also be meaningfully aggregated to meso- and macroscales.
Emmy Simmons provided highlights of the breakout session on agricultural productivity and natural resources. She noted that most of the participants believed there were relatively good data for six major categories of natural resources—habitat, soil health, water, chemicals, air quality, and greenhouse gases?but that, for the most part, little of this information was linked to economic or social variables. Several breakout session members suggested that future efforts should focus on strengthening a limited set of indicators?those most likely to have the greatest impacts, positively or negatively, on global food systems. There was also considerable support for creating a dialogue between scientists, the public and key decision-makers to assure that the science was well understood, and encouraging markets and governments to take action based on the science.
Kostas Stamoulis briefly summarized the discussion from the food security, nutrition, and poverty breakout group. He noted that most participants believed that the quality of anthropometric data are generally good, but that metrics addressing micronutrient deficiency and diet diversity are scarce and should be expanded, as they are important predictors of good nutrition. Several participants complained that information on nutritional status is generally not linked to important co-variates, such as family income or intra-household food allocation, nor are data readily available to determine whether individuals suffer from acute or chronic malnutrition, important measures for determining appropriate policy interventions.
Stamoulis described the discussion on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicators, highlighting the need for better food balance sheets, since these are the basis for the FAO hunger indicators. Many participants emphasized the point that the FAO hunger numbers purport to provide information about food consumption, but in fact do not. They are based on 3-year trend data on aggregate food supplies or food availability, and as such, they do not reflect the changes in the number of people who are hungry because of price fluctuations or short term food supply disruptions. However, the numbers are useful as a way to focus high level attention on the problem of global hunger and to secure continued international financial support for anti-hunger initiatives.
Several participants also noted that these measures are not useful for national level decision-makers, who need to target specific anti-hunger interventions, and therefore other metrics are needed such as those developed from household survey data or other national level statistical collection efforts. Some participants suggested that household surveys, albeit costly, can provide essential national level data on key measures not covered by the FAO data or other global data sources?information on household level access and utilization of food as well as measures of malnutrition. Several participants remarked that it would be useful to have a core set of questions for household surveys that would allow for greater comparability across countries.
Also as part of the final workshop session, Prabhu Pingali of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation discussed the need to increase the reliability and transparency of global food security numbers and asked workshop participants to provide their views on the possibility of establishing a peer review mechanism. He explained that global numbers on hunger and poverty are important to target populations that need assistance, and indicators on natural resources and productivity help to identify the long term impact of development and to identify needed

|Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard has finished work on his first solo album, Former Lives, slated for release in mid-October of 2012. Though Gibbard had a short-lived solo project in the form of All-Time Quarterback and has collaborated frequently, most popularly with the Postal Service, Former Lives represents Gibbard's first work under his own name. The album is comprised of 12 songs written over an eight-year period, and includes songs with topics ranging from skyscrapers to his recently ended relationship with actress/singer Zooey Deschanel. Gibbard has said in interviews that this album does not indicate the end of Death Cab for Cutie, and in fact the band is so healthy he doesn't see himself doing another solo album anytime in the foreseeable future.

NPR's business news starts with the big loss for the tech world.
MONTAGNE: Steve Jobs died yesterday. The co-founder of Apple was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer seven years ago. From the time a young Steve Jobs introduced the Apple I, his products changed consumer behavior.
President Obama said the world has lost a visionary. Business leaders around the world, including Apple's biggest rivals, are also paying tribute. The CEO of Nokia, once the world's number one mobile phone maker until it was overtaken by Apple, tweeted: Steve's passion for simplicity and elegance leaves a legacy that will endure. And Samsung, the Korean electronics company that is waging a patent war with Apple, today called Steve Jobs an innovative spirit who will be remembered forever.

Soldiers on guard outside the border town of Arsal, Monday, August 4, 2014. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: The Lebanese Army released a video Monday showing it had regained total control of one of its headquarters in the town of Arsal, after it was briefly seized by Islamist militants.
The video showed Army vehicles positioned in Arsal's Vocational School, which is located in the vicinity of one of its posts in the town.
The Army regained control Sunday of the position, which falls at the entrance of the town, after fierce clashes with the gunmen.
The 42 seconds footage displayed the bodies of six fighters killed during the battles. Over 20 other men could be seen handcuffed and sitting on the floor, with their heads turned toward the wall.
Mobiles, IDs and assault rifles that were confiscated from the fighters were also displayed.
Clashes broke out between the Lebanese Army and Islamist fighters on Saturday when Syrian rebels stormed Army positions in Arsal.
The attack came shortly after the Army arrested a senior official from the Fajr al-Islam battalion, which pledged allegiance to ISIS in June.
Three days of fighting in Arsal has taken the lives of 14 soldiers, with still 22 missing. At least 12 civilians have also been killed, along with some 50 militants. Sixteen national police have also been kidnapped.

High-tech pushes for more in immigration bill
Hatch also has an amendment to change a requirement in the bill seeking to ensure that U.S. workers are not displaced by the hiring of foreigners.
The Judiciary Committee meets Tuesday, but the consideration of the bulk of Hatch's amendments looked likely to be put off until Thursday to give senators time to see if they could reach a resolution.
Durbin and the three other Gang of Eight members on the Judiciary Committee — Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. — have resolved to vote together to defeat changes that would strike at core provisions of the bill and threaten the coalition backing it. But it was unclear Monday whether the lawmakers would be able to reach a compromise that could accommodate Hatch in a way Durbin could go along with. There was also no indication that Hatch would commit to supporting the bill even if his amendments on high-tech issues were accepted, because he's raised a number of other concerns as well.
Meanwhile the committee on Tuesday planned to turn to several amendments from Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who's supporting even greater restrictions on H-1B visas that those in the bill, but it seemed unlikely his efforts would prevail.
Beyond the H-1B provisions, the legislation makes changes favorable to the high-tech community that reflect the industry's increased lobbying muscle on Capitol Hill, as well as concerted involvement during the bill-writing process. The bill exempts certain immigrants, including those with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math from U.S. schools, from annual limits on the permanent resident visas known as green cards. It also creates a new visa for foreign entrepreneurs coming to the U.S. to start companies.
In the latest sign of involvement by the high-tech and business communities, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Partnership for a New American Economy, a group made up of business leaders and mayors, was to announce plans Tuesday for a "virtual march on Washington" to get people to use social media platforms to push Congress to support the immigration bill. The effort, set for next week, is to be co-chaired by Organizing for Action, a group headed by loyalists to President Barack Obama, and Republicans for Immigration Reform, led by former Bush administration Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.
Overall, the legislation would aim to boost border security, require all employers to verify the legal status of their workers, allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the U.S., and create an eventual path to citizenship for the approximately 11 million already here illegally. It is a top second-term priority for Obama.

Benjamin Bertocci and Brendan Tang Printmaker Bertocci and ceramicist Tang push the limits of their respective mediums to startling effect. The two relative newcomers work out of SIU-Edwardsville Bertocci, a visiting assistant professor, received his M.F.A. there last year; Tang completes his in 2006 but their works possess the sharp, observational edge that usually comes decades into an artistic career. Bertocci's works combine intaglio and monotypes with digital prints and photorealist painted passages; the subjects are devastating, commenting on brute human instincts and melancholic mortality. Tang's works are relentless critical riffs on celebrity, narcissism and the history of fetish ceramics such as eighteenth-century rococo ormolu gewgaws and collectible porcelain Asian ware. You'll mistake them for kitschy reproductions until you look more closely and recognize plastic, mechanical birds chirping away, or the sly homoeroticism of Just What Is It That Makes Asian Men So Appealing? or the self-referential social critique posed by Gookie Jar. These artists won't be in our area much longer, and their careers are definitely going places. [Editor's note: The reviewer teaches art history at SIUE and works with both artists.] Through December 31 at Mad Art Gallery, 2727 South 12th Street; 314-771-8230. Hours: by appointment 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tue.-Fri., 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Sat.
Currents 95: Julie Mehretu Those who saw Mehretu speak at the Saint Louis Art Museum on September 8 can attest to the fact that she had a certain amount of trouble articulating the concepts of her work. Take a look at her four paintings on view there and you'll see why: They are so very complex, deeply layered and astonishingly beautiful that they defy description. Mehretu appropriates remarkable architectural plans, combines them with her own idiosyncratic drawings and overlays all of that with vaguely familiar nationalist symbols and signs, to generate explosive scenes of war? of sports? of schizophrenia? that may be the most accurate blueprint ever to have been rendered of psychic experience in the post-industrial, late capitalist Western world. If that sounds like excessive praise, then mission accomplished: Mehretu's works are absolutely brilliant. These paintings act like a buoy, a lifesaver in the sad chaos of the daily news; to think that someone has been able to get it down legibly on a flat surface provides hope that we might just survive this insanity after all. Through November 27 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive, Forest Park; 314-721-0072. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. (10 a.m.-9 p.m. Fri.)
DoDo Jin Ming: Land and Sea It's astonishing to think that this Chinese photographer was Robert Frank's apprentice. Then again, her talent would probably take her to these outer regions regardless of how, or with whom, she studied. Ming is an internationally known artist, and this exhibition features her astonishing powers of photographic interpretation in spare but dramatic form. In series of photographs of roiling seas and barren fields of sunflowers, she somehow sidesteps cliché and captures something of the human condition. The sunflowers, printed in negative tones and with veils over their heads, carry with them an elegiac quality that seems to want to heal the world's wounds. Through December 18 at the Saint Louis University Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, Fusz Hall, Saint Louis University, 3700 West Pine Boulevard; 314-977-7170. Hours: 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. Tue.-Sun.
Minimalism and Beyond This exhibition is perfect. The stacked and repeated boxes of Donald Judd, Dan Flavin's fluorescent lights and Richard Serra's stacked and leaning works cast new light on the minimalist idiom, which is simultaneously thematically connected to works by more recent artists like Felix Gonzales-Torres, Roni Horn, Rachel Whiteread and Robert Gober. OK, these connections have been drawn out before but not amid Tadao Ando's minimalist architecture. Whiteread's Untitled (Gray) (1996/2003), a cast-concrete bathtub, quietly anchors the exhibition, making sensual reference to the smooth concrete of the building's walls and floor, while nearby Roni Horn's Untitled (Yes), a block of cast black optical glass, looks positively liquid in relation to the Pulitzer's water court, and Gonzales-Torres' pyramidal pile of candy in shiny silver wrappers acts as a foil to the somber character of the small Cube Gallery. The endless, subtle surprises embedded in the exhibition's layout will beckon viewers back again and again. Through April 26, 2006, at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, 3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Wed., 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat.

Teachings of the Relationship Buddha
Shoshanna studied with the Japanese Zen masters Soen Nakagawa Roshi and Eido Shimano Roshi; the rigor of traditional monastic training shines through the spare language and format. Aspects of Zen practice that can be controversial or confounding are presented matter-of-factly. A few of the love lessons may even raise eyebrows. Consider this explanation of the keysaku, the wooden "encouragement" stick used to strike students during zazen (sitting meditation) to keep them alert: "Most important, it teaches the students how to receive sudden blows and pain. This is necessary, as a fundamental part of learning the art of falling in love is knowing how to receive the stick."
Similarly, we are told that dokusan, the one-on-one student-teacher meeting central to Zen training, prepares us for "moments of dramatic choice" in a relationship. "When we have this intense, immediate, no-holds-barred encounter with the master, we are learning . . . what is essential in order to really be with another and available for love." This description may seem ironic to readers familiar with the improprieties committed by a number of spiritual teachers in recent years.
Zen love, like Zen practice, is not for the timid. If the path at times seems too steep, the reader can just follow the "Stepping Stones to Love" in each chapter—small actions that, like consistent meditation practice, lead incrementally to awareness. "Each instruction in Zen training is a metaphor for our entire lives, an instruction to diligently follow and practice day by day," Shoshanna reminds us. For those with love issues—isn't that most of us, at one time or another?—she holds out the redemptive possibilities of practice: "By simply paying attention to each step we take, by becoming that attentive and present, we can turn around our relationships."
If Zen is the direct path to relationship nirvana, Tibetan Buddhism is the ecstatic route. In The Passionate Buddha, Robert Sachs draws on twenty-seven years of marriage and Tibetan Buddhist practice (his teachers include Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Lama Ole Nydahl, and Kungiz Shamar Rinpoche) to map the way to bodhicitta, the awakened heart. Like Shoshanna, Sachs is unequivocal about the spiritual significance of intimate relationships: "True love . . . [is] the only path to liberation and fulfillment . . . Knowing how to truly love in every moment and every situation is the quintessential perfection of being human."
Sachs addresses the question "What does a conscious, loving, and enduring relationship look like?" with practices to foster flexibility, loving detachment, mutual respect, and compassion. There are instructions for basic Tibetan Buddhist meditations - shamatha, or calm abiding, and tonglen, receiving and sending—plus a visualization for channeling passion into intimacy and a "Don't-Know" meditation Sachs learned from the Korean Zen master Seung Sahn.
Fully a third of the book deals with sex. For many, this material will be the most valuable. Sachs gives considered attention to the principles of tantra (sacred sexuality)—he tells readers to find a teacher for instruction in the practices—and even tiptoes into the minefield of teacher-student sex as a means of dharma transmission in the Vajrayana tradition. Some readers will particularly appreciate his evenhanded approach to topics seldom discussed in a Buddhist context: homosexual love, impotence, incestuous feelings, contraception, and abortion.
In the closing chapter on enduring love, Sachs recalls his own wedding years ago. Chime Rinpoche, who officiated, drew the bride and groom aside and asked, "Are you a vajra couple?" In living that question, Sachs has come to see that only when we are willing to embrace both the light and darkness in a relationship can we "live in vajra, in unshakeable awareness."
However it's put, that's the underlying aspiration in all three of these books.

eBook Category: Erotica/Erotic Romance/Romance
eBook Description: The Earl of Wythe is a notorious rake, with one goal in mind--to get Lady Joan Lecrox into his bed. Joan is doing the Season to please her Uncle Willy, who doesn't want Joan to settle for being an old maid, until she's had a taste of the Town. Joan is unique--she is also dead set on avoiding rakes and men in general, having learned some rather harsh lessons about impetuous passions. She is well aware of what Roger wants, and is determined to resist. Roger sets out to demolish her defenses, and a game of seduction and temptation begins. Whenever he can get Joan alone, he whispers to her, seductive, alluring promises that will introduce her to passion and the sensual world of lovers. In spite of her resolve, Joan is too soon swept away, until she finds herself meeting him for trysts in his house outside London. In the dark, when he whispers, she becomes aware of herself as a sensual woman, but it is the closeness, the most intimate connection between male and female that is most enlightening for Joan. Coming to her senses, Joan decides that she and Wythe have gone far beyond a few encounters, and though he has given her the priceless gift of restoring her faith in what lovers can be, he has also brought her heart to the brink of something more. Roger too, has gone farther with Joan than he has with any woman. The scandal of his past, the brooding darkness inside of him cannot prevent him from thinking of her. After the season, when the affair is over, they meet again in Bristol. Will they take this one chance to make what they feel more than passion, or will the mistakes in their past keep them from recognizing that their hearts long for much, much more? Whispers in the Dark is an incredibly sensual story, rich in both imagery and eroticism. It's a story of discovery, about living out a fantasy and then finding love along the way. This romantic tale of Gayle Eden's is guaranteed to be one you'll remember!

The Earl of Wythe stood in the center of his chamber, his valet having departed only moments earlier after assisting him into his formal clothing. With only one lamp burning from the adjoining sitting room, moonlight spilled through the window, striking his swarthy face and midnight eyes, glinting on the wavy black hair that settled at his shoulders.
Lord Roger was that enticing contrast between rake and gentlemen; the expert cut of his clothing, the stark white cravat, marked him as a gentleman, but the defined musculature and height, the dark skin, reflected something forbidden and wicked. It echoed in the curve of his full lips, the flair of his nostrils and winged arch to his brows--a scar that ran from below his right eye to the under-curve of his jaw.
Smoke curled from the cheroot he was enjoying. His expression was slightly brooding, deep though. The firm jaw set in rigid lines hinted they weren't pleasant ones. Roger had so many women, so easily, and the fact that one had cost him a moment's discomfort was a rare and unique experience, indeed.
He was determined to rid himself of this irritation.
Joan ... Joan Lecrox. He tasted the name in his mind, as he had tasted her lips ... right before she'd slapped him.
Roger laughed suddenly, a short grunt of it. He shook his head and crushed out his cheroot, then gathered his gloves, cape, and found his cane. He strode out of the room, and into the upper hall, before descending the spiral staircase.
"Have a pleasant evening, my lord." His butler Kingsly bowed while handing him his hat. Roger stepped over the threshold and out onto the curb with a murmur of thanks. His coach was waiting.
He eased himself inside, settling back against the plush leather and rested his hands atop his cane. The driver pulled out amid the London traffic and they began their journey.
Tonight was not a usual theater night for him. In fact, he was going to miss several appointments attending this play, not the least of which was a night with an actress who wanted to share his bed. Actually, he'd ignored any intimate invites, since meeting the maddeningly hard to seduce Joan Lecrox.
Near the theater the expected crush of carriages and milling people clogged the entrance. His driver stopped at a good space, and Roger exited, flinging his cape over his shoulder while he stood back from the crowd to eye the patrons at length.
The haute ton were always easy to spot in their glitter and furs. He had been on the scene many years and was well aware--and totally unfazed, by the fact that the high sticklers bit their tongue around him, because of his wealth and title. In truth, they had their pets amid the rakes and rogues. At thirty-four he had been in the circle long enough to let them know he neither cared nor sought their approval. He accepted invitations when the mood struck him, and indulged his own interest when it did not. He was a man who'd spent enough time abroad in mixed cultures to have explored and experimented with whatever took his interest ... and very little of those interests were perused amid the ton.
Roger turned his gaze to the right and nodded, smiling slightly at the urbane and wholly rumpled Viscount Berrenger.
"Simon," he drawled deeply. "What brings you out before the stroke of midnight?"
The lanky viscount pushed away from the outer wall and strolled over. His cravat undone, and over-long sable hair wind blown. He flashed Roger a cynical smile. "A request from my cousin."
Simon stared at him. "Joan Lecrox."
Roger's brow rose. He had known the Viscount for years, they had slummed, and gambled, together but Simon never spoke of family besides his elderly father. There was an uncle ... but bloody hell, it couldn't be...
"Yes." Simon seemed to read his mind and appeared amused. "It seems she requires the added protection of a male relative--"
"Rather like the fox guarding the fox, wouldn't you say?" Roger cut him off.
"It's none of my business whom you seduce or vise versa," Simon muttered flatly. "But Joan is off limits." While he eyed Roger's hard-set jaw he added with a mild grin, "Should you, however, decide to court her, that would, of course, alter things greatly."
Roger's dark eyes narrowed. "Are you jesting perchance? I could quite easily list a number of..."
"Don't bother. Yes, I've seduced my share of the fair sex. I'm no hypocrite. 'Tis merely that--Joan is off limits."
"You said that before," Roger muttered him. His voice clipped. "Would you care to expound on it, while we make our way to your box?"
Simon laughed. "Don't make this difficult. I've boxed and fenced with you, ole boy. I would prefer you make this unpleasant chaperone business easier for me. I do so detest these sorts of noble roles and family obligations."
They'd begun to walk forward, and Roger said, "You were going to tell me why she's off limits?"
"Was I?" Simon yawned.
Roger stopped and several people had to walk around them. He waited with a black scowl for Simon to realize he was serious.
"Because she's no deb. She's not of the fast set. She's got a mind of her own and she's settled in it that you are merely out to seduce her ... smart gel that she is. Though she's lived in the country with her books and herbs and what not, she knows me well enough to call me a rake. And, while my exploits might amuse and irritate her, she said, and I quote, You keep the rest of your bloody crowd away from me." Simon smiled and shrugged. "There you go, ole boy. A direct command."
Roger grunted. They entered the foyer with its din of voices and scent of cigars. People were gathered in little groups talking, chatting, and rubbing elbows. He returned, "Lead the way."
"Give over, Rog," Simon groaned. "I've said I hate this bloody role. Inviting you to my box is positively going to have Joan at my throat."
"You'll live."
"She slapped you."
Roger glanced at him. "Umm, yes."
Simon grunted. "Well, she might not slap you tonight, but I'll sure get a tongue lashing should you insist on this."
"I insist."
"Bloody hell." Simon reached over, took someone's drink and downed it. He coughed and wheezed to Roger. "Why are these female cousins always orphaned?"
Roger smiled at his question. "She must be twenty-two at least. I should think that puts her in the status of adulthood."
"She's twenty four."
"Yes." They went through the draped exit and entered his box. His cousin Joan was already seated with her companion Miss Avery.
She couldn't believe it! Absolutely, she was going to murder Simon.
Joan Lecrox turned from having glanced at the entry, fixing her eyes on the stage whilst she tried to control her temper. Damn, Simon. She had thought for sure that he would honor her request and not bring the bloody man within inches of her. And, there he was. She became aware he'd taken the seat behind her.
Simon touched her shoulder to get her attention. Joan smacked his hand with her fan, hard, and did not turn around. She'd like to beat him about the head with it. Honestly. She was going to murder him. She considered getting up and just walking out, but the orchestra had signaled, and the crowd from the foyer was entering boxes and getting settled. The lights were going down...
Joan unfurled her fan and turned her head slightly to eye Simon, who was seated just behind her companion.
He must have caught the movement for he leaned up and tried again. "I didn't invite him, puss. He was rather insistent. Believe me, I know the man. He would have caused a scene and cared little about it."
"I'm not speaking to you," she hissed back. "I'm never speaking to you again."
Simon chuckled. "Have a heart. You should have picked a good cousin for this task ... I've known Rog for years..."
"I don't have a good cousin, you wretch ... I have only one, you ... No, I take that back. I disown you. Feel free to leave at any time."
Simon sighed loudly. She heard him say to Lord Wythe. "You see, ole man. Now you have gotten me in the suds. I am completely disowned."
Lord Roger's deep, somewhat raspy voice intoned, "Your cousin is being rather extreme over a mere kiss."
Joan turned the other way to regard the dark lord. "How dare you mention that!"
That sensual mouth twisted in a smile, and even with the low lighting she could see his dark eyes shimmering. "I dare many things, Joan..."
"I can see that," she bit out. "And since you had your face slapped for doing so with me, I should think you'd get the message."
"What would that be?"
"I'm no fool, Lord Wythe. I'm here for one season as a courtesy to my uncle. I may not be London bred, but I've read and heard enough about you to know exactly what your game is. Play it somewhere else."
Roger stared at that face, it wasn't ravishing, nor exactly beautiful, with her green eyes glittering with anger and that almost too-wide mouth set in resistant lines. She had a proud nose, angled chin and unfashionable light freckles on her cheeks that she did not bother to hide with powder. Her hair was slightly curly, likely a mere shoulder's length, and since she did no more than hold it back with combs, the curls were escaping at her temples and by her ears. He had seen more ravishing females. But it wasn't looks, not even the challenge, it was ... an odd sort of chemistry that flared from the first time he'd encountered her taking air on the balcony at the Lamont's ball ... and kissed her.
From where he sat a foot behind her, he could smell that scent; the mixture of woman and heat and some mysterious night flower that he couldn't name. He'd had sex with many forgettable females, and not one of them had drawn him like Joan Lecrox.
Roger was no green lad. He did not play games, as she put it, he followed impulse and satisfied hungers. He knew what rumors she'd heard, though his privateering days were well behind him and they were the least of the dark whisperings linked to his name. She was; doubtless, referring to the whisperings that his parents had disowned him years before they had died, and the woman he'd been betrothed to from a tender age had fled to Paris to escape a so-called nightmare union with him when he'd retired from the sea.
He said though, neither cynically nor harshly, but in a whisper, "I am well beyond games, Joan."
Roger observed the slight widening of her eyes. Her cheeks flushed before she gathered her composure and returned, "I am sure you have plenty of women, my lord. The sort who more than welcome your attention. Pray, do not waste your time with me. I have no intention of giving you a moment of it."
Mentally he smiled at her pluck, for no woman to his knowledge would dare spar with him. He murmured silkily, "Then I shall have to take it."
Her lips parted and she blinked.
He laughed softly. "No. To the contrary, of the rumors you may have heard, I never developed a taste for ... force. Seduction is much more satisfying."
"You're beyond belief," she hissed. "Now, please. We are in a public place. If you persist in this folly, I shall leave."
He was outright chuckling now.
Joan wanted to slap him again.
He was trying to shock her. She knew that. The man was provoking her, and he was totally without manners.
The drama began on stage and she turned, after shooting Simon a harsh look. She settled her eyes on the actors, yet felt Lord Wythe's remain on her for far too long a time. There was a hot sensation over the back of her neck and her shoulders. If not for the fact she knew he'd mock it, she would have lifted her shawl from her elbows and covered herself. She heartily wished she'd worn a less fashionable gown, the bodice of the jade velvet dress was low, and off the shoulder. There were more beautiful woman, more exposed ones too, to look at, why didn't he bloody seduce them instead?
For Joan, it was too long a play, and too long between acts. Twice she got up with the intention of leaving, and twice she found Lord Roger standing in her way. She hated the fact that sitting down reeked of admitting defeat, it gave the impression she would bow to his insistent plan of being near her. However she sat there chewing her lip by the last act, having no alternate route of escape.
When the curtain closed, Joan nudged her companion awake, resisting the urge to roll her eyes at the woman's drooling snores. Miss Avery was her uncle's choice of a suitable chaperone. Because in the country, in Bristol where she lived alone the past few years, frankly, no one gave a fig if Miss Lecrox went about with only a maid, or even by herself.
Simon had stood too. He muttered to her, "I don't suppose I'm escorting you home?"
"No." She eyed his rumpled clothing. "Don't bother to take my request seriously hereafter, Cousin. You are bloody rotten at it."
"I'm still a cousin at least." He winked.
She sniffed. "Do go on, and take your friend with you."
Simon bowed and headed for the exit. Joan saw, to her dismay that her companion had sleepily followed. The stupid woman left her standing there with Lord Roger.
He was tall. She had noticed that at the ball, noted it on the balcony--when he'd nearly lifted her off the floor during that shocking kiss. Standing a bit back from him, she still had to look upwards. And, when the lights came up, there was that shadow around him. Good God ... those piercing blackish eyes and that dark skin.
Joan pulled her wrap up over her shoulders and detected several scents coming from him, all too dark and masculine to want to name at the moment.
"Do you intend to let me pass?" she quirked her brow in an attempt to appear completely unaffected.
He was gazing over her face--her body too. "Allow me to escort you home."
"Are you bloody joking?" She spurted laughter.
His lips curved. "Joan, you may as well give an inch or two."
"I have my own coach."
"Mmm. I'll send him ahead, with your companion."
"I'm not being alone in any vehicle with you."
That seemed to amuse him. However his tone was still mild. "I intend to at least have a conversation with you, so you may as well give in."
"We have nothing to say to each other." She made to step around him.
Roger's tawny hand came out, catching her upper arm. She stumbled a bit as he drew her close to him, her shoulder touching his chest. He leaned down, whispering in that raspy husk, "I want you, Joan."
My God ... those words somehow turned to fingers of fire that trailed from her ears, down her spine. They settled in her blood, leaving it pounding with the fierce beat of her heart.
"I don't want you," she said gruffly, staring away from him.
His thumb brushed her skin. He murmured, "Are you a virgin?"
She jerked her eyes to his face. "Do you want your face slapped again?"
"Ah, no." He laughed, flashing her a rare white smile. "I think you enjoyed it too much."
"I'd enjoy it immensely now too."
That smile lingered though he led her toward the exit, keeping a hold on her all the way through the entryway. When they were out in the crush, he leaned down and told her softly, "I'll give you this round, sweet."
To her embarrassment he removed his hand from her arm, but brushed it down her spine before he told her, "Go now, Joan."
Left standing stupidly alone, she watched his figure stride down toward a cluster of crested coaches.
Joan snapped out of her haze, glancing at her driver on his perch. She ducked into the coach after the theater footman opened the door. Inside, she settled her skirts, noting with some disgust that Miss Avery was fast asleep. The coach turned. Joan absently looked out the window, somehow not at all surprised when fate had them stopping to allow for traffic whilst alongside Lord Wythe's vehicle.
He had his arm along the window edge and was already looking right at her. Those pitch eyes seeming to burn with hidden fires.
Joan licked her lips and wished she had not, for a slight smile suddenly played about his mouth and his lashes dipped. When Henri had the coach moving, she let out a long breath.

Oklahoma Book Awards recognize state authors
Oklahoma City author Carolyn Wall's debut novel "Sweeping Up Glass" about the mysterious killing of wolves in rural Kentucky in the 1930s won the fiction award at the 20th annual Oklahoma Book Awards Saturday at the Oklahoma Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
The awards reception and banquet drew a crowd of more than 220 that included authors, publishers, librarians, book editors and people who simply love to read. The event was sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for the Book, part of the state Libraries Department and a state affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Cherokee novelist and poet Robert Conley was presented with the Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award for a body of work contributing to Oklahoma's literary heritage. The award is named for the Norman historian who served as the first president of the Oklahoma Center for the Book. A native of Cushing, Conley, 69, has written more than 70 books and won many awards, including three Spur Awards from the Western Writers of America. Most of Conley's writing deals with Cherokee characters, culture and themes. His "Real-People" series traces Cherokee history, beginning in the year 1500. Recent novels in that series include "The Peace Chief" and "War Woman." His novel, "Mountain Windsong," focused on the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee removal from Georgia to Oklahoma.

The winners, who were chosen from 35 finalists, were: →Fiction: "Sweeping Up Glass," by Oklahoma City author Carolyn Wall, and published by Poisoned Pen Press, Scottsdale, Ariz. →Nonfiction: "Full Court Quest: The Girls From Shaw Indian School, Basketball Champions of the World," by authors Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith, both of Middletown Springs, Vt., and published by the University of Oklahoma Press, Norman. →Design: "Placing Memory: A Photographic Exploration of Japanese American Internment," designed by Eric H. Anderson and Karen Hayes-Thumann, with photographs by Todd Stewart, all from OU's School of Art in Norman, and published by OU Press. →Illustration: "What Dogs Want for Christmas," illustrated by Kandy Radzinski of Tulsa and published by Sleeping Bear Press, Chelsea, Mich. →Children/Young Adult: "Spy," by author Anna Myers of Chandler and published by Walker Books, New York. →Poetry: "Two Tables Over," by Norman poet Nathan Brown and published by Village Books Press, Cheyenne.

Harassment Could -- and Did -- Happen to Me
By Melina on August 02, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
I was 23, working at my dream job teaching writing at an alternative outdoor high school, when I experienced sexual harassment.
I did not think that I was the type, whatever that means. I was too smart to be manipulated, too tough to be tormented, too well-liked for anyone to want to mistreat me. I was so clever and quick on my feet that I could diffuse any situation before it became unpleasant.
And if what happened next hadn't happened, I bet I'd still be walking around with those same ignorant ideas in my head.
Out of the seven teachers at the school, only two of us were women. We all lived together, along with our 13 students, traveling to different rivers each week, and driving up the spine of South America at night, camping out in the woods or living in cabins in tiny surf towns. We had no space from one another and very little time to ourselves. It was tough, and unusual, but I was used to the challenges of communal living, and right away I figured out how to thrive.
The key was to like everybody. If you do, then everybody likes you. So no matter what came my way, whatever stresses occurred around me, I'd just grin, shrug, make a joke out of it, and stay out of the way. I never got flustered, angry, or terse. I was strictly agreeable and cheerful.
It wasn't just the desire to be popular that made me adopt this attitude of affable till death. It was survival. It's much easier to live together if everyone gets along, and if you let a few things roll off your back. It's basic group dynamics that every guide and camp counselor has to study at some point in their lives.
It worked in the beginning. I was well liked by my co-workers and my students. And when I started to observe another teacher harassing the other woman on staff, I stayed well out of it, grateful that it wasn't me.
He invented stories and rumors about her that he spread to the students, who were eager to be let in on staff gossip. He eroded her confidence and credibility with skill.
Yet I knew the way he treated her was wrong, and the way he treated the students like frat brothers was inappropriate. I never questioned him, though, and I never stood up for her, because I was so hell bent on remaining passive and pleasant. In fact, that he could emotionally annihilate her in public, then turn around and want to be friends with me, seemed like more proof of my rank as a likable person.
So, guess what happened next?
Over two months, I watched this man's behavior became increasingly volatile and bizarre. I watched from a distance until one day I woke up, and it was me he was harassing.
He said off-color, cutting, and abusive things. He told me he was so sexually frustrated that he should be allowed to hit me just for the release.
The other woman complained, but nothing was done about it. We were so isolated, in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country, that it would have been difficult to do anything without completely disrupting the entire program. I was afraid of that happening, so I refused to complain. Being one of the few women in a work environment can make one do anything to avoid seeming dramatic or emotional.
One day I was alone with him in the attic of the staff cabin. He yelled at me that all of my students hated me. I remember his snarling face leaning into mine as he called me "a selfish bitch, a selfish little girl." As he left, he ordered me to stay in the attic until I "got my shit together -- even if it took a week."
Five years later, I still don't understand how I let it get this far. But truthfully, I just could not believe that I was being harassed, as if there is a type who attracts this treatment, as if it only happens to the weak, sensitive, and dramatic.
I held on to this belief so tightly that by the time I realized what was going on, I thought it had to be my fault, that I hadn't stopped it early enough, so I had to endure it for the rest of the semester.
On the airplane home from South America, with the kids sleeping in their seats, this man sat down in the seat next to me, shaking me awake. He was drunk. I straightened up and told him he needed to leave. He didn't. He threw himself into another diatribe against me, threatening to spit on me.

Pet Update! :)
By Icarusflies 16 Comments
So as many of you know, it's been a bit of a difficult time petwise in the Icarus household. My beloved guinea pigs Tater Tot (aged 5 or 6) and Marzipan (who was only almost 3) passed away within a month of each other. My dog then proceeded to break her foot on New Years.
When I last posted I introduced the baby guinea pig Blini. I was concerned about her and said I'd keep y'all updated. Well:
It turns out Blini was just a little shy. She seems to be in good health >knock on wood< and WOW has she grown! When I got her home I kept her quarantined from my other guinea pig, Onigiri, for about a week. Then I introduced them. I was a little worried about whether they'd get along or not, but they're best buddies now! They're playing or snuggling constantly. It's super-adorable.
Poor Calypso (my dog) is healing up, but she still needs to wear a cast for at least three weeks. She doesn't seem to mind...everyone gives her pity food, and she's getting around just fine.
And now here are a bunch of guinea pig pictures! :D

So, yeah, Sunday reaffirmed a lot of our hatred and disappointment about this defense. BUT, we hated them just as much last year, and they still managed to take us to the Super Bowl and we were one ****** Tom Brady pass to Welker away from winning it. Plus, honestly, who in the NFL scares you right now?Baltimore? Uh, there defense is old and no longer any good. There offense doesn't give the ball to Ray Rice enough, and Joe Flacco is not consistent, or good, enough to take down real QBs in the playoffs. Pittsburgh? This team has come on recently, and before last night, I would have listed them as a team I was afraid of. But, after that stinker they put up against KC (the worst team in the last few years) combined with Big Ben potentially having a separated shoulder and being out for a few weeks, they no longer worry me. Houston? Eh. Schaub doesn't scare me. That defense has seriously cooled off. Watt was playing like a monster, but he has come back to earth. They do not have a team ...

Protect Law Enforcement By Reinstating the Death Penalty for Cop Killers
In 2004, the New York Court of Appeals ruled (in the People v LaValle) that the procedure for imposing the death penalty was flawed. As a result, prosecutors have been unable to seek the death penalty when a law enforcement officer is murdered while performing his duties. Since the LaValle ruling, there have been 8 police officers in New York intentionally murdered, 7 of which have occurred after this legislation enacted a sentence of life without parole for those who kill law enforcement officers.
It is clear that a deterrence is needed to address this trend of aggression toward those men and women who put their lives at risk while protecting the citizens of this state.
Please sign the petition below to protect our law enforcement.
