Chapter Fourteen
Anjali found shaurya sitting at the edge of the swimming pool with his feet in water. She had to talk to him. To tell him not to rile chote up.
Shaurya was so lost in thought that he had not even seen her come. There was no chair around so anjali sat on the floor leaning against a pillar. It will be painful to get up she thought.
"It will hurt when you get up" Shaurya said silently
"I didn't know you noticed me.. You seemed to be lost in thought." She said surprised
"Oh I noticed you all right." He answered
They were silent for a moment. Then Anjali spoke
"Shaurya you shouldn't have spoken to chote about khushi like that.. He loves her a lot, you know and he is been through hell lately."
"Anjali trust comes with love. He should have trusted her enough. Look at khushi's state. If his love has turned her this way she is better off without him." He said sternly
"His past has made him this cynical, shaurya. He has been through a lot.. If the pain doesn't end your life it makes you stronger. Trust doesn't come easily to him." Anjali said defensively
"Every one has a past. But how fair is it that some one else pays the price because you r hell bent on ruining the present because of the past? He has reached to a position today where no one can tell him that he is wrong but sometimes someone standing up to him to tell him that he is wrong is what he needs." He looked at her and said soothingly
Anjali remembered the way shyam used to talk arnav out of his moods. Shyam- she felt a hollow ache at the thought of him. When she thought of his deception she hated him but every time she remembered the good times she hoped someone would just come and tell her it was all a mistake..
"You are thinking about your ex husband aren't you?" shaurya asked
"How did you know?" she asked surprised
He smiled and despite of every thing Anjali thought how handsome he looked when he smiled this way
"You get that look in your eyes.. a distant look of beautiful dream and the pain of broken reality.." he said
The way he put it brought tears in her eyes. He looked at her intently for a moment and then he sighed and got up sitting down next to her. He then put an arm around her and gave her a little squeeze.
"He used to talk Arnav out of his worst moods." She said her voice cracking
"Obviously that jerk had to be a smooth talker to keep up the pretenses." Shaurya said angrily
"A part of me still can't believe he turned out this way" she confessed
He ruffled his hair with his free hand and cursed violently. Anjali flinched.
"I can't believe you just said that. Damn it he ruined your lives-"
"I know. It's not easy to forget the person you loved overnight." She argued
"Did you love a womanizer, a cheater? YOU didn't even know his true side. You were in love with a dream. In love with the person u thought he was and that person didn't exist." He said hardly
Anjali always prided herself being even tempered but she felt her anger rise.
"It's not that easy. How do you know how I feel ?..how chote feels.?. You have never been in love." She argued
"Haven't I?" he said and for the first time she saw the pain in his eyes the depths of his pain matched her own. How hard it was to read the pain behind a smiling face.
"Who was she?" anjali asked tentatively her anger forgotten
"It's a long story" he sighed
"We have time'" she said simply
Still holding his arm around Anjali he started telling her the story of his life.
"Her name was Avisha. She was a patient in the hospital I worked. She was going through a bad time and I met her through a friend and we started talking. Slowly I started spending every free minute with her. She was nothing like the girls I had dated. Coming from a rich background I always had a lot of attention. I had dated a lot beautiful girls. Not that she wasn't beautiful she was.. very. But there was innocence about her, vulnerability and a simplicity that pulled me towards her. "
He had a distant look in his eyes again and a tender smile and Anjali felt a pang of envy. She couldn't understand this disappointment she felt. Like finding something you looked for your entire life and losing it all over again.
"Whenever I used to get a day off after night shift I used to spend it with her rather than sleeping. I told myself it was just attraction. May be it was till the day when something happened. And I was feeling low. She was so tender and caring. I fell in love with her that day."
Anjali felt a weight in her heart. A lingering pain without knowing what caused it.
"Did you tell her?" she asked quietly
"I couldn't. At first I was too scared of losing her and then my dad fell ill and suddenly I had responsibilities and I couldn't burden her with my problems when she was going through a difficult time. So I left. After a while I heard she was married."
Anjali could understand his pain, his anguish. Sometimes the pain never heals but may be with time it just becomes a dull ache.
"All my dreams of marriage had no meaning. I refused to get married then. It wouldn't be fair to marry someone when I loved some one else. My mother thought I was gay. "He laughed as usual trying to lighten up the situation
"But Akash told me you were with some one and every one expected you to marry." Anjali asked
"Oh yea.. she was a nice girl. Very beautiful and I thought for mum's happiness I'll get married. I didn't love her but I liked her. She knew about Avisha and accepted it. We had come to India briefly. I had come for some work and she had come to meet her relatives. I was about to propose. I guess I built dreams again. But then I saw Avisha with her husband. She didn't see me. And once again all the dreams I built had no meaning. I realized that Avisha was the only one I would love till the end of time. I broke up with this girl and you know the rest.."
They were silent for a long time but it was a companionable silence. She thought how different he was where Shyam cheated on her; this guy had remained faithful to the memory of the girl he loved. When she was about to get up she braced herself against the pain. But before she could move Shaurya was up and he swung her up in his arms. Her hands came around his neck and her eyes never left him. He had looks that could charm any female between eighteen to eighty, a sense of humor and a magnetic personality. But it was the depth in him that drew her to him. She thought how lucky avisha was to have been loved like that and yet so unlucky to have never known that love. She could understand his anger when she spoke about shyam. Here there was someone who had indeed loved and lost where as she had loved some one who had not existed at all. Something healed inside her at that thought.
And Shaurya Veer Sighania had done it again. Once again he had brought her back to life.
In the days that followed, Arnav spent most of the time in the office. At nights he would sneak in khushi's room just to watch her sleep. There were times when tiredness took its toll and he would fall asleep in the chair with his head resting on her bed. Thankfully he would wake before she did. His appetite suffered. He lost weight and he had once even fainted in the office.
Shaurya spent most of his free time with khushi much to arnav's annoyance. He would take her for walks, to the temple and Arnav was left behind, jealousy searing in his heart as he watched the love of his life with someone else. And yet his heart ached to see his beautiful laughing khushi reduced to this mechanical doll. He had to agree despite of himself that Shaurya had lightened the atmosphere at home a lot. Him with his positive attitude brought hope. Even di was handling things much better than he expected. He saw a change around her. She was a different person around Shaurya in a way she had never been with her former husband. Was she falling for this guy? No it was too soon for her. But what if it was a rebound? He knew his di she wasn't so fickle by nature. He hoped for her sake that she didn't fall for him because if she did, it would break her. Because the whole world knew, Shaurya had given his heart a long time back. To this girl named Avisha. And it had remained with her ever since.
Khushi went on her usual morning walks with Shaurya. For the first time in days, she felt different as if every thing she was hiding from was finding its way towards her. In mornings like this, the darkness was at bay.., but then it would come back to her, it always did'
Shaurya looked at her and said, "After every sunset, there is a sunrise.. there is a new life, a new beginning khushi."
How could she tell him that she had waited too long for this sunshine that by the time it came, she had become used to the dark...
"The sunshine ends and then darkness follows." She replied looking ahead.
"That's one way of putting it but after darkness again there is sunshine. A new start, a new life. Give Arnav a chance, give yourself a chance." He put in.
Khushi understood what he had been trying to tell her. His words threatened the layer of sadness she built around her.
"Did you love him?" shaurya asked
An arrow of pain penetrated the numbness for a minute and then it was gone
"Yes" she replied unemotionally, "but he didn't care and I don't care either."
But she did… he could see that.
Arnav watched Shaurya talking to khushi, his eyes blazing. He saw her respond to him in a way that made his teeth clench. Every fiber of his being burned with envy. Damn this shaurya! khushi was his. Angrily he strode downstairs and glared at shaurya.
"Where the hell were you?" he asked angrily.
Khushi unconsciously grabbed shaurya's arm. The action didn't go unnoticed as far as arnav was concerned. His eyes blazed with anger. He gave shaurya a cold glare which was returned with equal intensity. Shaurya gently led khushi to the room muttering something which horribly sounded like
"If looks could kill, I would be dead at his feet" leaving a dejected Arnav staring wistfully at khushi watching her go.
That night khushi woke up from deep sleep with a jolt. Though the room was not dark due to the faint light of the lamp which Anjali had left on, khushi felt scared. She could see the darkness that had consumed her moving towards her once again, dripping slowly into her life just as she was trying to shed it. she felt scared of fading away, of drowning. She felt as if she was sitting on the edge of the cliff about to fall off and it was a long way down. She clutched the sheets tightly, her eyes widening and let out a blood curdling scream.
Arnav froze the moment he heard khushi scream. He then ran to her room, uncaring about any thing except his need to get to khushi. She was sitting on the bed, her eyes wide and horrified. He reached near her bed gently holding her, but the scared khushi threw herself into his arms. And in that minute, after a long time arrnav felt as though he still meant something to her, after a long time he felt alive.
"Don't leave me'" she sobbed brokenly. Arnav felt his heart break too. How could he tell her that he never had the strength to leave her, that he had fallen too far that if she left he would never recover.
"Never sweetheart, never." He whispered holding her tightly needing her as badly as she needed him.
They sat like that for a long time, too scared of letting go. Knowing they were not just holding each other they were holding on to their reason to live. Tentatively she rested her head on his beating heart. A heart that was hers and that would love her till it continued to beat. He shifted slightly to make her more comfortable. Holding on to the moment where his time had stood still, a moment he hoped to last forever. He felt her weight, felt her breathing going slow deep and regular. He knew she was asleep but he held on yearning for her love. After a while, he lay down on the bed still holding her and closed his eyes and for the first time in days he fell into a deep slumber.
Anjali couldn't sleep. The images of Shaurya and khushi whirled in her mind. Despite of herself she felt a tinge of envy. She got up to get some fresh air and was surprised to see shaurya staring blankly at the sky.
Anjali walked up to him and said, " you are spending too much time with khushi and agreed she is improving but she is arnav's wife and he loves her."
She didn't know what made her say that, what made her emotions cloud her judgment. Shaurya turned and looked into her eyes and said
"You are scared that I might take khushi away from him. Is that all that bothers you?"
She wanted to say that she is jealous, but she simply nodded.
"Is that all Anjali?" he persisted
"Yes" she lied
"Then put your thoughts at a rest Anjaliji. I've never been wife stealing person. If I was I, Avisha would have been mine. And khushi is like a sister I never had. Don't judge everyone by your husband's standards. Some of us are actually different." He said icily and strode off.
Anjali bit her lip to stop herself from crying out. How could she explain, ever make them understand, the secret of her treacherous heart?
Did you have one secret that you couldn't share it with any one else. A secret that was locked and buried too deep because it was never meant to be shared. A wish that was never fulfilled. A dream locked away permanently first out of duty and then out of love.
Anjali had loved her husband for their three years of marriage. She had devoted herself to him, worshipped the ground he walked on. No one had known even then why anjali was emotionally fragile despite of the love of her husband. No one had known even then that in silences, in solitude when she closed her eyes it was not her husband's face that came in her mind.
It had been an incomplete dream that had been buried alive'
It had been a tale of her guilty love.

Flight through the fractal by 011ArtWatch
©2013-2016 011Art
Flight through the fractal - Fractal Explorer render + PSCS ReColorized - Brown Stage
Very lovely--my teachers would complain that the composition is too centered, but I feel that that is contrasted with the weight of the wings and the direction that is emphasized. I enjoy your choice in colour as well--nuetral tones often don't symbolize a whimsical or airy context.
We have a very similar look to the technical part of this picture. Choice of color is definitely effected by lot of Japanese minimalist paintings which I was watched in that period. Thanks!
Fantastic, really love this
Great job on this piece friend!
beautiful shape.
Oh, that's beautiful.
fractal manta... cool...
Looks simple, but very cool!
Love it!
This is beautiful, great minimal artwork
Flagged as Spam
Glad you like it
Great work
Awesome, looks to be floating!
looks well done. nice job!
nice work
Very nice.
Like it !
very nice minimal
I really like this but excuse my ignorance but.. what is it?

Cross posted in Orange and The Stars Hollows Gazette
Recently, President Obama gave a speech at the U.N with a recurring theme I found disturbing. The whole bluster involved with the U.S "making sure there is not a nuclear Iran ever" as if repeating the straight up ignorance of the neoconservatives on Iran, is not dangerous and ignorant like anyone making excuses for it. It is.
Serious signs of this kind of ignorance are unfortunately coming from the President's Secretary of Defense; Leon Panetta who says "all options are on the table" with Iran. That's really not OK. It's actually insane. All Options were on the table when Bill Clinton bombed Iraq(which was used as an excuse for the 2003 invasion) as well so that is anything but an innocuous statement.
Make no mistake, the real danger here is a country and now two administrations addicted to war while we linger here without jobs. I don't find the case convincing at all that they are building a nuclear weapon in the NIE, but even if they are it doesn't matter. There are a number of reasons; some which involve a basic education on the Middle East and Islam our President and too many Democrats didn't take the time to learn.
It's really not that hard to get why this is insulting to all of us and to people in Iran. If we are going to have further costly military adventures while we have sellout grand bargains at home over a fake deficit crisis and economic ignorance purveyed by Democrats enabling Republican and third way neoliberal BS; we should at least demand it be be sold to us while not insulting our intelligence.
It's really insulting when any of our Democratic leaders put non discretionary and discretionary spending on the table while fear mongering over matters they need grade school education in so we can what? Have an awesome double dip recession like in Europe? Austerity is economic garbage that kills, period.
Now let's start with some basic facts to go against the insulting propaganda about a dangerous Iran spreading nuclear Armageddon. Attacking Iran whether they have nuclear capability or not(again it doesn't matter) would start a global reverberating conflict; one that won't be OK just because there are Democrats in office, at least for those with the same principles before 2008.
- India and Pakistan already have nuclear weapons. They are always in conflict and have a history there, but we don't feel the need to take drastic stupid action there.
- The President, too many Democrats, even so called experts on the ME don't understand that Ahmadinejad does not control the country. The Supreme Leader of Iran and Islamic Council of Experts do and they make all final decisions. Not that you would know it listening to all the BS coming from Washington D.C on both sides. We're supposed to be scared into war with Iran every time Mahmoud comes to NY and spouts off whatever his ever dwindling base wants to hear(since he can't even fairly win elections anymore since the Green revolution).
The creator of Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi is correct. She an inspiration to me in a number of ways, and many other people in the world. Heed her words for they speak the truth.
Iranians are so much like us they are essentially American, so basically we would be attacking ourselves and any hope for the future in the ME. Attacking them would push them closer to their government because the collateral damage from our occupations, even drone strikes, is not a secret. The bottom line is everything you think you know about Iran is wrong and probably fed to you by someone pushing an agenda, whether it's more global hegemony for the US by cutting into Russia and China's action, or someone looking to profit off the war.
It's not your genuine concern or well being that drives the outright propaganda being fed to you by our government. I have to include all of our governmental in this, because we have been having this debate since the Democratic primaries. It was stupid then and it is stupid now yet it's revealing how much closer Democrats' position is to the Bush administration back in 2007. There's simply no reason to engage Iran militarily at all. Anyone who accepts that there is, is letting the Pentagon and those that control it control their minds keeping them ignorant for their wars based on lies and false threats.
Nathan Gonzalez, author of Engaging Iran: The Rise of a Mid-East Powerhouse laid out all of this clearly even back then.
It seems that with every news cycle comes yet another attempt by the Bush administration to pave the way for a war with Iran. As if we weren't facing enough problems in Iraq, there seems to be a degree of laziness across the political spectrum when it comes to understanding Iran's political culture and finding ways to engage diplomatically without sacrificing our interests.
Two: Iran's Pro-Americanism
Having been to Iran, and having followed global opinion polls closely, I can say without reservation that Iran has one of the most U.S.-friendly populations in the world; certainly the most pro-American in the Muslim Middle East. Needless to say, this support is not unconditional. While Iranians still speak of the United States as a land of "freedom," American bombs dropping from the sky would change that overnight.
In Engaging Iran, I quote a young man in Iran who puts it simply: "I hate the (Iranian) regime and I love America. But if America attacks us, I will join the regime and fight America." The ruling clerics are banking on this sentiment to carry them through any air strike campaign.
Four: Ahmadinejad's Diatribes Are Irrelevant
One of the most troubling tendencies among cable news commentators is their propensity to take the words of a weak Iranian president and inflate them to apocalyptic proportions. While Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an anti-Semite who denies the Holocaust, and has openly hoped that God will one day erase Israel "from the pages of history" (mistranslations of this phrase are bountiful, including the typical "Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map"), this should not be taken to literally mean he plans on having the capability or will to carry this out through a nuclear attack.
Not only does the Iranian president have no power over the country's military, but more importantly, Israel has a formidable nuclear deterrent that prevents the thought from even entering Iranian leaders' minds.
Even if we wanted to imagine rogue elements inside Iran that are so fanatical as to destroy their own 2,500-year-old country, they wouldn't do it by attacking Israel, since the Jewish state houses one of the most sacred sites in Islam: Jerusalem's Dome on the Rock (besides, the Palestinians would go with Israel).
Now I'm far from an expert on the ME, but the fact that I know this stuff and the President doesn't is disturbing like his pro war posturing when the only place we need to invade is the forgotten US states so we can win their hearts and minds by building up their infrastructure and give them jobs. Whether it's just not taking the time to know these basic facts and monuments important to Islam I learned the significance of in art history class or wanting war with Iran for other reasons; this kind of condescending garbage is really off putting once you know the facts.
War with Iran would be a disastrous cycle which would drive commodities up and give speculators more reason to drive up the price of oil on top of the correlated faulty moves of investors looking to hedge inflation by moving away from dollars and into the oil index funds. This is because of their fears about QE(new round coming up) even though there is no direct inflation causation. Goldman Sachs moving into their Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) basket from the dollar in 2008 causing what they falsely feared.
I don't know why this is not apparent to this administration and Congress. It certainly wouldn't help politically. So basically this ignorant posturing on "having to do something quick!" about Iran nuking one of the most sacred sites in all of Islam (there is no avoiding it if they are nuking Israel) will have foreign policy and drastic economic implications. Investors will flip. Prices will rise. Dodd Frank doesn't add up or really exist in a meaningful way, either to combat this. It's not smart. It's more dangerous than the fantasy nuclear threat being used to scare you for another war for the war machine.
You know what I mean? War with Iran is a terrible idea, even talking about "all options being on the table." So TAX THE RICH!(Don't sell out and extend the Bush tax cuts again after election and we need a financial transactions tax and Tobin tax) FEED THE POOR!(Talk about them at least more than once) SPEND FISCALLY ON US(Until there's full employment and stop spouting deficit crap), STOP THE WARS!
All of them. And no new wars either, because all wars are wars on the poor.
War is a Racket - Major General Smedley Butler
War Is A Racket From his 1935 book. Has anything changed in nearly 80 years?
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
Ahh, yes. We owe Smedley Butler many debts...
For the many truths he revealed like the Business Plot to assassinate FDR and precisely how war is a racket.
Thank you, Sartoris!
Iran will become Nuclear - just like Israel
North Korea, Pakistan, India, Israel, France, United Kingdom, America, China and Russia (former Soviet Union) are all members of the nuclear club. At one time South Africa was a member but they have dismantled their weapons. Anyone know how South Africa became a member? With the assistance of the Israeli Government. Yeah, Israel had no problem helping one of (if not the most) oppressive governments in the world become a nuclear power. Not one drop of American blood should be spilled to stop Iran's nuclear program.
Couldn't agree more!
And I learned something from your comment. I didn't know about South Africa and Israel.
I was going to add that if we are so concerned about nuclear weapons we should work to get rid of all of em. Otherwise it's BS and imperialism. Hegemony or survival as Chomsky wrote.
off topic and don't want to 'thread jack' but some links
This is not conspiracy stuff. Here is an article from MIT and one from the Guardian.
Thanks for those links, Sartoris
and you can thread jack anytime you want, but you're not doing that.
excellent post priceman! and if you haven't read...
the graphic novels Persepolis and Persepolis 2 - read them. haven't seen the movie, but the books were awesome! you'd love them! :D
the movies are great too
highly recommend that you make the effort to see the movies
yeah, until this article i had no idea it was even...
made into a movie! that's awesome! :D
Thanks, poligirl!
You'll love the movie. It's just like the comic(moving animated comic) I have heard.
I definitely want to read the sequel.
The majority of Israelis oppose a strike on Iran
This poll is more than a month old, but it's the most recent I could find. It shows that the Israeli public realize they are being fed a lie about the threat posed by a nuclear Iran. They don't want to die over this either. People are not stupid, we generally know when we are being told lies.
Neocon evilness on display for the world to see
Calling for a false flag operation in order to start a war with Iran and putting it on YouTube for the world to see.
What is interesting about this discussion by the Washington Institute For Near East Policy, a Neocon (Globalist) think-tank, is that its primary purpose is not necessarily to debate the current political elements of the Iranian question. They aren't contemplating the viability or morality of a war with Iran. Instead, they are attempting to devise strtegies by which the government could CONVINCE the American public and the world that a war with Iran is the "right thing to do", even if it means fabricating their own justification. For them, the war is a forgone conclusion, and they will do anything to make it a reality.
Think tanks like this not only construct policy framework, but they also write the subversive talking points used in the mainstream media that manipulate the masses into acceptance of that framework. In the video below, there is no suggestion that Iran be left alone if the will of the public leans away from conflict. Instead, Patrick Clawson (who works frequently with the Council On Foreign Relations) openly suggests that a Gulf Of Tonkin style event be ENGINEERED (he uses the phrase "covert means") in order to force a war into being.
The YouTube video can be viewed along with the story at Zero Hedge
YouTube must be playing with the "Like" and "Dislike" ratings on this one.
Watch it for yourselves before they pull it.
Truly evil
Someone posted the video in my diary. Thanks, traveler.
Apologies if this is a duplicate
For some reason, some YouTube videos on this site will not show up in my browser (Firefox - latest version). Also I cannot post YouTube videos here. There is a message that "a plug-in is needed to show information on this page", and a link. Clicking on the link brings up the message "no plug-in is available".
Could this be a "bug" or is it likely some problem on my end - browser related? virus? other?
Hmmm, I'll ask around
You are using full html, right? I would update my flash player or uninstall it and reinstall. I don't think it's a virus but ti could be a firefox thing. i don't know why youtube videos won't post. I'll make sure you have full privileges to do this.
Troubleshooting Firefox
I'm wondering if your browser might be doing this, as other Firefox users haven't had this issue (yet). Could you check out if anything on this page helps clear up the issue?
Yes, trying to use full HTML. Updated Firefox and Adobe Flash. Presently looking at the top of this page it says "Install Missing Plugins". Clicking on that brings up "No Suitable Plugins Found".
Not to worry. Will continue looking for the cause and solution.
Just an FYI, but I have the same problem with one of the
videos posted in this article/post. Like you, I'm using FF latest version, but yet it tells me I need a plugin, which I attempt to retrieve but am told none exists.
If you're speaking specifically about only one of these videos, which I learned was from Hula, then we're in the same boat so to speak. And I still have not found a solution.
So for that one video, it's not site-specific but FF specific.
Okay, the hula video
must be the source of the problem. Thank you Glinda.
I use Firefox for everything but coming here or dkos. I find weirdness happens at those two sites, so I use either google chrome or safari for here. It's the only thing I use those for, and they seem to do just fine.
Hmmm, I tried to open that embeded hulu video with
Internet Explorer and couldn't see it, it was just a blank square. With Firefox, at least it told me I needed a plugin (that didn't exist).
I can't help but wonder if it really is specifically computer-related. Ummm.

mannequin mistake
Over Christmas, I was walking through a mall when my peripheral vision caught movement in a clothing store. A woman was lying on the floor, behind a small table piled high with sweaters. A saleslady was on her knees, leaning over the supine figure. I rushed into the store to offer help. As I turned a corner, I saw the saleslady removing the arms from the woman on the floor! She was undressing and dressing a mannequin.
Always tell the truth
My daughter-in-law took my two grandchildren to their favorite restaurant for pizza. When 3-year-old Brooke had her fill, she got down from her chair to visit a lady at a table nearby. Brooke lifted the jacket sleeve of this unsuspecting lady and proceeded to wipe her pizza face in it. Her Mom was flabbergasted! "Brooke, did you actually wipe your mouth in that lady's jacket?"
She told her Mom the truth---"No Mommy, I didn't wipe my mouth---I wiped my nose!"
Needless to say, her Mom could have gone through the floor.
Luckily the recipient of Brooke's actions was a good sport and anyone in earshot had his laugh of the day!
Recently I was walking through the woods towards a small pond where I hoped to catch a few trout before the 2016 winter ice fishing closed. I made my way between two small spruce trees to avoid the deep snow. Without warning I tripped and fell face and eyes into wet slushy snow. I tried to get up but couldn't. I thought my coat had hooked on one of the trees. When I turned around however I found that my foot was caught in a cable type fox snare. When I managed to undo the snare from my boot, I turned around again and in front of me was a fox standing in the trail. I could swear that he or she had a sort of sneer on its face. I was surely outfoxed!
April fools
This time I am in grade 6, another classroom. It was April 1, April Fool's day. I was alone in the room, my classmates were all outside. The teacher was gone outside, also.
I thought to myself, I must fool the teacher. I stuffed up the bell with paper! Nobody saw me doing it.
The teacher came in and guess what? He gave me the bell to ring!!
The joke was on me. I didn't try it again.
The following incident happened to me when I was in Elementary school, in Foxtrap C. Bay South, When I was 9, in 1950.
I asked the teacher for permission to leave the room please, and I wanted to go to the toilet, which was outdoors.
When I came back, everyone in my grade 4 class were laughing!
I had put my dress and slip down in my navy blue bloomers!!!
Was my face red! I'll never forget it!
Open mouth insert foot!
A couple of summers ago we docked at the wharf in Bonavista for a couple of days. While we were there another pleasure craft was there, I knew the boat came from Southern Shore, but I didn't know the Gentleman that was on the dock. My hubby Don, knew him and when he came onboard our boat and we sat on the back deck talking about this and that with our traveling buddies Dan and Peg all Don said was now this man can sing, assuming that we all knew who he was. He told us that he and his band were on their way to Tilting to perform. He talked about his band and how they have traveled to the USA, considering our buddies are Americans. The conversation continued on and not any idea who he was, I opens my mouth and said what's the name of your band? Answer: Irish Descendants!!! This was Con O'Brien and I didn't recognize him, omg talk about opening mouth and inserting foot! I love their music listen to it all the time, but didn't pay much attention to the artist! Never felt so bad in my life, we were there together for a couple of days, Con was a good sport about it when I told him that I love his music and have their cds. And that's my story! Thanks,

Out for a stroll
A few years back I used to push our overly inquisitive and talkative three year old granddaughter in her stroller. There were occasions, during those strolls, when I would respond by saying, "yes Emma", not really listening or clearly understanding her ramblings. One day she turned to me and asked, "Nan, are you listening to me?", I responded, "yes Emma I am". She then asked, "what did I say?" I was caught.

"I am not a Newfie"
I was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia but my mother came from Garnish and my father was from Bonavista. I Spent many wonderful summers in my early years in Bonavista. When I was four, my grandmother came to stay while my mother was in hospital giving birth to my brother. One day, my grandmother called me a "Newfie". I immediately replied quite emphatically that I was not a "Newfie" but a "Cape Bretoner";. My "Nanny" then proceeded to supply me with these great words of wisdom using her broadest Newfoundland accent.
"My son, when the cat crawls in the oven and has kittens you don't call them cookies"
Life's Funny
G'day Downhome people
We get your magazine each month and have been for many years.
I'd like to share a few stories that have made me laugh out loud and puts a smile on my face when I think about them
My 3 year old niece,a very bright little girl was sizing up her mothers friend who was heavily pregnant. After a few moments of staring the expectant mum notices and tells my niece she has a baby in her belly without missing a bet my niece says You shouldn't eat babies
My nick name is Bernie, but very few call me this apart from my husband Harold. One day our neighbours 5 year old was over hanging out in the kitchen while I was making lunch(toasted BLT's). Well the toast started burning, the smoke detector is going off the child looks at me and asks
Is that why Harold calls you Bernie?
Our girlfriend of many years lived in the Pilbara which is inland dessert, 1200km from the Australia coast, so we'd only catch up a few times a year. On one of those visits her young son was in our care while mum was out. so we decided to go to the beach - upon arrival to the beautiful Indian Ocean this young lad, having never seen the ocean before says Wow what a big pool
And lastly and one of my favourites
I am from a very large family and have nephews & nieces that are my age and older..actually I met my husband thru one of my nephews and we still remain best mates. So while we were much younger trying to save money to do the things in life you want to do, we shared a house with one of my nephews who is our age. My young niece use to visit with her mum often since we all lived in the same city-one day while driving home from auntie's house her daughter asks Mummy why does auntie have two husband's, one upstairs & one downstairs?
These are all true stories and it would give me much joy to see them in print in our next Downhomer issue.
Cheers! Marie Clarke
The Bearded Lady
I was waiting at the local pharmacy to pick up my prescription after having had prostate surgery. I was standing behind a lady who was awaiting her prescription.The druggist, a real wit, said Ed I hope you don't end up with her medication or you'll be in trouble. I replied, "well I hope she doesn't get mine as she will end up with a mustache." Lo and behold she turned around and she did indeed have a mustache. Needless to say, I turned as red as a beet and almost fell to the floor. The pharmacist told me later that he could hardly contain himself considering my predicament. Open mouth and insert foot!
Nightmare blindness
Years ago my youngest sister, Sally, who was then about three years old, woke screaming from a bad dream. When my dad rushed to comfort her, he asked what she had been dreaming about. "How should I know?" she replied, "I had my eyes closed!"
Funny story
My sister had just finished washing her floors and put a sign on her door ..Please Remove Your Shoes.. A little while later her sister-in-law arrived and her four year old daughter shouted out to her ..Aunt Noreen look, look on the door, mommy put a sign on there for you.. Needless to say it was out of the mouth of babes and we were all embarrassed!
Old Man's Pension
Our grandson was looking for an expensive scooter for his ninth birthday. I told him I couldn't afford it. He then asked where I got money from, and I told him I received a pension from the government and that you get this pension when you turn 65, and I called it an Old Age Pension. I then said Nanny will be getting her pension very soon. He asked how much, and I said about $500. With that he took off and ran upstairs to his grandmother yelling, "Nan, Nan, when you get your Old Man's Pension will you buy me a scooter!"

I see upon a hill,
the setting sun, fleeing from the night...
The moon coming above that horizon for the kill,
to rise and banish to darkness all light.
Though time brushes over creation,
I live on, a slave to immortality.
Though I was the choser of my own damnation,
Twas humanity that was the cause of my brutality.
Now the world around me decays,
unlike my flesh and mind...
Time has left my future in a haze,
and the changing world has been unkind.
I see upon a hill, but another slope downward,
where the pointless journey continues on...
unto to no end is my existence forever moving forward
Nostalgia is dead, as my past is forever gone.

Not sure about immortality but I would at least want to live for a few hundred years.
loved this poem, great job!
This poem is quite intriguing! I kind of see the Lord Himself looking on humanity after the seven years of tribulation is finished before He returns. Looking at the ship coming in, the picture looks like something from about late 19th century. Overall, well done!
is this ortaköy mosque?
nice work!
I'm pretty sure Aivazovsky drew the image, you should credit him even though he is dead.
Wow this is amazing poetry. I've just started writing some poetry myself and whilst I like writing it I find it quite frustrating and difficult, so I respect your talent shown here.
This is very well done and I enjoy the subject matter!I do have to disagree with his/your point of view thou but that is just me.
This is a beautiful work of poetry here. I wonder from whose point of view the poem is being said. From my perspective, this story relates to the character of Hoenheim from Fullmetal Alchemist.
This is a really nice poem. Great work!
Immortality: who would want it?

BioSante Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results
As previously announced, BioSante completed a private placement subsequent to the end of its second quarter, which resulted in net proceeds to BioSante of $7.2 million, resulting in a cash balance of approximately $11.0 million on July 31, 2006. BioSante's cash burn rate for the first half of 2006 was approximately $750,000 per month. BioSante's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2006 were approximately $4.5 million, as compared to approximately $9.1 million on December 31, 2005. BioSante remains confident that its existing cash resources, including the net proceeds it received from its recent private placement, should be sufficient to maintain its current planned development activities, including the initiation of LibiGel Phase III clinical development, and its corresponding level of expenditures through at least the next twelve months.
BioSante incurred a net loss of approximately $2.2 million or ($0.11) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million or ($0.13) per share for the same period in 2005. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in research and development expense and an increase in licensing and grant revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, BioSante incurred a net loss of approximately $5.5 million or ($0.28) per share, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million or ($0.28) per share for the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to the impact of BioSante adopting SFAS No. 123(R) "Share-Based Payment" and increases in general and administrative expenses, offset by reductions in research and development expense and an increase in licensing and grant revenue.

This week marks the one year anniversary of the most significant home damage event we've ever experienced.
Yes, one year has passed since our four square, in the midst of the coldest week in the DC area in over 100 years, had a boiler failure and a subsequent whole home freeze.
The resulting damage destroyed our home's oil fired boiler...
...ruptured plumbing lines throughout the house...
Who doesn't love a project that's quick to complete and offers major impact?
With our new house we've been spending the last year on what seem like massive, slow moving projects. Besides refinishing the wood floors and sprucing up the shed, nothing else in the house really felt like we were actually finishing anything. Completed projects being few and far between made us feel like we wanted a quick and easy win this winter that wouldn't break the bank.
When it comes to quick, easy, and generally inexpensive, there are few more impactful projects than low voltage outdoor landscape lighting. Everything you need is easily purchased, straight forward to install, and you don't need to worry about electrocuting yourself since all of the wiring is low voltage. All you need is a vision, a plan, and a handful of hours.
If you're not familiar with our new house, it's a white clapboard house that's about 108 years old. Its style is a mishmash of four square and late Victorian farm house with a giant wraparound porch. But most notably, its "front" is situated to the back to give it a great view of the water...
...while its "back" is actually the front and faces the road. This means that the road facing side of the house is full of interesting angles and details that surround a nice sized brick patio where we plan to spend many nights around the fire pit.
Snowzilla (aka Winter Storm Jonas) rolled into town, dropped a lot of snow, and went on its way, and boy was it a great storm!
I've posted the full timelapse that takes us from the start through everyone shoveling out their cars in particularly futile efforts.
I have to believe that snow etiquette dictates those who dig out their car have the right to reserve their hard earned spot with an orange code or garbage can, right? I would assume so. Otherwise I'm sure we'll see fisticuffs and a Mad Max Fury Road fight to the death over parking when someone decides to snake someone else's spot.
The other day just before sunset I took Lulu around town for a little stroll. She loves playing in the snow when it isn't an active blizzard, but it was taller than she is in most places, so it made it a little tough. At certain points she looked like she was walking around in the Hoth Rebel Base. (High five if you get this reference.)
1/24/2016 - 12:45 PM Update
The live feed is still going down below, so be sure to scroll down to catch the latest look out our front window. However, it's been up and down this morning as the power and Internet has been on and off. Fingers crossed our flickers are behind us.
Here's the full timelapse of the storm through 1/24 at 3:29 am.
This storm was truly no joke. This morning people are trying to dig their cars out under the bright and sun filled blue sky. I'll tell you one thing, things are already getting a little bit testy between some of the diggers and those either looking for parking spots or trying to make some cash by digging people out.
If there's one thing I absolutely love about old homes, it's their plaster!
With all of the beautiful details that fill any home of a certain age, my love of a traditional lime wall covering may seem a bit odd. Given the more modern trend to rip out old walls in favor of modern gypsum drywall, I feel like plaster walls are one of those things that give an old house its soul. The slight irregularity to the finished surface, thicker feel, insulating qualities (both sound and temperature), smooth finish, and ability to withstand centuries of use with regular upkeep make keeping and restoring plaster walls a no brainer if they can be saved.
If you've read our posts on plaster in the past, there's no doubt you know the lengths I don't mind going to in order to retain that classic plaster look. Whether we're restoring our own plaster or detailing how our friends decided to go with new plaster instead of drywall in their old house, we have no shortage of plaster shoutouts in our blogging past. In fact, we've gone into enough detail over the years that one of our favorite magazines, Old House Journal, actually contacted us to see if we minded if they include us in a DIY plaster repair article they have in the January 2016 issue.
Their article features several of our favorite tips and even a few of our photos, including that awesome photo of me sanding while sporting a mustache. That photo was taken during the one week in my entire life where I had a real mustache (we go all out for our Halloween costumes), and much to Wendy's dismay, it's now immortalized as part of a magazine article. She's a lucky lady, y'all.
However, as much as we've talked about plaster repair and restoration in the past, the simple fact is that I've not been doing it in an truly accurate and appropriate manner, especially when it comes to skim coating. Yes, that's right, we've been doing it wrong and didn't really realize it for quite some time!

Vermont House advances pension forfeitureFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a persons last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just In

Truly Hot Stocks: Spice Up Your Portfolio With Some Condiment Stocks
growing industries last year. In fact, it was only slightly edged out by social networking in its market expansion through 2012, according to IBIS World, an Australian marketing and research firm.Read more from Kapitall: How to Beat the NSA: Google, Apple Uncover a Way It seems that a confluence of factors – from immigration to demographic changes – has changed the American palate. Over the years, Americans have craved more flavor in their foods, and spice is a much healthier flavor enhancer than salt, preservatives, or fat. And there are strong numbers to support this. Over the last decade, the hot sauce industry has grown over 9% each year, with little to no signs of slowing down. There have been major plays in the market as well, supporting the idea that sauces and condiments are earning more attention from investors. Last year, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) acquired the legendary condiment maker Heinz. And then there's the incredibly trendy, yet strange and mercurial company behind the hot sauce Sriracha – whose steady rise despite not spending a dime on advertising (or really anything, besides chili peppers) is a powerful testament to hot sauce's resilience and popularity. The company, Huy Fong Foods, is possibly one of the worst run businesses you've never heard of. Since opening its doors in 1980 (with the expressed goal of bringing traditional Vietnamese hot sauce to the country's diaspora – nothing more), the company has not once raised the cost of its product. You heard me. Through four presidencies and a three-fold increase in food prices, Sriracha's price has held constant. And yet the company's profits have risen steadily each year.James Dennin, Kapitall: Hot sauce is a fast growing industry. We decided to take a closer look at some seemingly hot stocks. Whether or not you like your eggs with a kick – it might surprise you to hear that hot sauce was one of the fastest

Great for dialog
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Very compact and nicely built. It works very well for dialog enhancement but does not blend well with other speakers so I would recommend changing your receiver setting to 'no center channel' for critical listening.
Pros: Size, build quality, dialog enhancement for video sources.
Cons: Sound quality not compatible with most hi-fi speakers.

Odd Coolant Leak
Ok so I just bought a 99 Ram 1500 Sport. 4x4 5.2 Auto with A/C.
I just been going through the truck making sure there are no unkown problems before I start driving it and I found a coolant drip but can't follow it anywhere.
It's on the passenger side corner bolt of the oil pan is where I found it. It's all dry above (leading towards a head gasket or intake manifold, which is what I first suspected). Also I checked from what I could see all around the water pump and t-stat housing but couldnt find anything leading to that spot either.
The truck is low on coolant, still some near the top of the rad but the overflow was empty. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has found a coolant leak in that general area. I'll try a pressure test and see if I can find anything. But being lazy haha I figured I'd post here first and see if anyone can shortcut me to the issue

You too can work two jobs for the price of one at Betty!
I don't like when they name restaurants after people but don't include their first AND last names. Who the fuck is Betty? They should've named this place after someone awesome, like Maximillien Robespierre or Rutger Hauer. I would totally eat everything on the menu at Cafe Rutger Hauer.
You too can work two jobs for the price of one at Betty!
Betty may be no Café Rutger Hauer, but it's okay in its own right. The pistachio and rabbit terrine ($11) is rustic as fuck. You get two huge triangles of this coarse pate, barded in thickly sliced bacon. The pate itself was a motley kaleidoscope of meat, like an edible stone patio. It came with ribbons of pickled fennel, thin sour rings of pickled onion, and cornichons. Very tasty.
The risotto ($20) was so creamy it was almost syrupy, as cheesy as an after-school special, and springtime fresh: It had fava beans, mint, asparagus, and pea vines. Unfortunately it was too salty, although it was expertly prepared: Each rice grain was fluffy, individual, and very Libertarian--those motherfuckers just won't stick together.
The Betty Burger ($13) was okay. It was pretty damn juicy, and topped with a melted slice of white cheddar. There was a nice crusty char on the outside of the patty, but the meat was a bit bland. The most offensive thing about the Betty Burger was that they included a side of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and pickles to put on top of the burger, but then they stuck the top bun onto the melted cheese. So if you actually WANTED to put the vegetables onto your burger, you'd have to put it on the BOTTOM bun--and that's just retarded. If Burger Time has taught us anything (besides the idea that gigantic ingredients have been given the Satanic power to walk around and kill with a single touch), it's the codification of the structure of a hamburger. From the ground up, a hamburger should go: bottom bun, mustard, hamburger, cheese, bacon (if applicable), lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, top bun. Any deviation from this order is heresy!
Another weird quirk at Betty is the unusual management decision to make the chefs and line cooks take the food orders at the bar. There was no waiter around. This is unprecedented! It goes against the natural order! Blasphemy! Arrogance! Insolence! And a whole bunch of other words!
Betty might be better if it actually was called Café Rutger Hauer, but instead it's perfectly okay: not as awesome as Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner, but not as shitty as Rutger Hauer in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Maybe if they didn't make the cooks do two jobs it would be better. I doubt they pay them twice as much. Do the chefs have to design Betty's website too?
Rating: 6.5 overworked employees out of 10
Betty is located at 1507 Queen Anne Ave N

Way Big by illuminate01Watch
©2009-2016 illuminate01
"I'm not just big I'm Way Big"
I'm still surprised that a to'kustar, the actual name of Waybig's species, has only one weakness, and that's the fin on the top of their head! And that they were also born in unusual cosmic storms or even cause unusual cosmic storms!
really I heard their planet was hit by a cosmic storm changing them to the size they are now. the horn weakness is a cool idea it could connected to his skull which could cause hm head pains
wouldn't it be cool if Rex and Ben tag teamed with Rex in his Omega Robot form and Ben as (Ultimate) Way Big?
what would be better Rex as the Omega Mech and ben as Up-grade.
This is very cool
Way Big is Epic!
Way Big is Epic!
nice job and i love that line im not just big im WAY BIG
Thanks, I didn't like what they did to him in the show so I went more original with a little alien force flare.
AWESOME DRAWING OF WAYBIG! Is this the version of Waybig in "Ken 10"?
no it's a fusion of the Ben 10 series look and the Ben 10 Alien Force series look
