Thanks to @CWVampDiaries for the heads up on this video interview with Ian Somerhalder, courtesy of Digital Spy's Tube Talk. He discusses the Stefan/Elena/Damon dynamic, why Damon would make an excellent boyfriend, and how "the Katherine thing is very difficult for Damon right now." Watch the @TubeTalk Twitter for links to their upcoming interviews with Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.

MTV's Hollywood Crush has an ever-so-rare chat with Steven R. McQueen about what's in store for Jeremy on upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries. He has wonderful things to say about Malese Jow, who will be guest starring as Anna (J's potential love interest?), calling her "very talented and very sweet."
And we know from reading your comments in the blog and posts in the forum that what Damon did to Jeremy is a huge, HUGE point of interest, and you'll be happy to know Steven plays a bit coy on that front (spoilery!):
[spoiler]It was way back in 2009, but you may recall that earlier in the season, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) pulled his special vampire brainwash-y powers out to erase Jeremy's memory of his girlfriend Vicki's death. The catch is, it's not exactly clear what Damon did. "That's something that's going to unfold itself a little later in the series," Steven said. "[Damon] did erase my pain and my grief and such, but I'm not sure what I can reveal of just how much he shut out of my memory — and if he put anything in there."[/spoiler] (Dun Dun Dun… )
And @LilMissX is being very, very good to Vampire Diaries fans in anticipation of the show's return this Thursday. Check out our first look at Mia Kirshner as Isobel, Alaric's wife, in this still (we know Isobel is set to debut in Bloodlines, but we're not 100% positive that's what the still is from) with Matt Davis (Alaric):
UPDATE: Thanks to KryptonSite, we now know the Alaric/Isobel still is from an upcoming episode called A Few Good Men.
According to this ITV2 press release, it looks like UKers can look forward to a Tuesday, February 2nd debut for The Vampire Diaries. And it gets better: The channel will be kicking off with a 9-11 p.m. double header of the pilot and Night of the Comet. Smart move, we say.
Speaking of air dates: The Vampire Diaries kicks off in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria tomorrow night! Though I suppose it's already January 20th in your neck of the woods, so… Enjoy the show!
With all of the TVD cast appearances in magazines lately, we thought you might want to check out Katerina Graham pontificating on the particulars of her beauty bag in this Seventeen video, and Nina Dobrev Fan has nice, watermark-free scans from Nina's very pink fashion spread in SELF.

In case you missed Artists On Demand Radio's interview with the lovely Candice Accola, you can listen to the entire thing over on Blog Talk Radio. (Look at the little player in the middle of your screen.) She talked about her start in show business, her music career (she's hoping to record what she's been writing once the season is through filming), the difference between acting in film and television, her hopes for Caroline as the season progresses, and lots more. She came across as very humble, genuine, and sweet. We live-tweeted some of the interview if you'd like a few soundbites.

As all of you know by now, this past weekend was Nina Dobrev's 21st birthday party in Las Vegas and there's been a bunch of red carpet photos and video floating all over. (We'll update this post with some of it soon.) But it wasn't all play – she had an interesting tidbit to drop about the upcoming episode of Vampire Diaries, Bloodlines, in this Just Jared video (at the 3:29 mark).
[spoiler]Elena is… She's just had this insane car accident and we're going to pick up where we started and see what happens, and who rescues her, and where she goes. And she's going to go on a little bit of a road trip. Let's just say she's going to find out a lot of shocking things. The end of this next episode is going to be extremely shocking and it's going to take everyone by surprise. People are not going to expect what's going to happen. [/spoiler]
Watch the entire video at Just Jared.
UPDATE: A selection of photos and a video from the Studio 54 red carpet, courtesy of Getty Images and the ever-awesome Nina Dobrev Fan. In attendance: Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Katerina Graham, Sara Canning, Zach Roerig, Steven R. McQueen, Kayla Ewell, and we know Michael Trevino, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Matt Davis, and Julie Plec were there as well. (For those who've been asking us where the photos of Ian and Paul are, this may have something to do with it.) You can see more photos in the Gallery.
You can see a ton more photos from inside the party over at Just Jared, and in addition to the above red carpet video, there's this one courtesy of gershwin9 on YouTube:

We're catching up on some tidbits, so there will be a few posts coming your way. But first up, a special reminder that Ian Somerhalder's appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly airs tomorrow morning, Monday, January 18th. Check your local listings for times on their website.
Speaking of Mr. Somerhalder, he shares a very amusing anecdote involving Damon, Lexi, and Matthew Fox's 12-year old daughter over at TV Guide Magazine. Not gonna lie – we kind of love her. (Read the entire story at TV Guide Magazine.)
"It's 1:30 in the morning—there's a six hour time difference between Hawaii and Atlanta—and Matthew calls me and says, 'Listen, dude, she wants to talk to you. You need to justify some things to her. She's not happy with you.' So she drilled me with these questions and I was explaining my actions and saying, 'There are times when you find yourself in situations that you may have to hurt someone for the betterment of the family, which is what Damon was doing.' And every time I'd start explaining something, she'd go 'Yep, uh huh. And…?' It was an interesting hour for me!"
Unreality Primetime has some Ian London press which yields a few interesting nuggets (Damon's age when he turned? 23). He talks about the usual, but it was his personal influences for Damon that made us smile:
Who or what were your influences when deciding on how to play the character of Damon?
"Three big ones. Josh Holloway, (Sawyer in Lost) Cary Grant and Dionysus. The marriage of a crazy crass redneck with the class of an eloquent man like Cary Grant is an interesting way to play a crazy well rounded 150 year old guy who likes a dance and the finer things in life – like blood, wine and Beethoven. Then you add in Dionysus – Damon is essentially Bacchus, he is that figure."
And here we have a brief video chat with Ian and Nina Dobrev backstage at the TCA's, in which Nina reveals a secret talent. We don't know about you, but we are now earwormed. Thanks to VDO for the heads up.

And the TV tie-ins just keep coming: HarperTeen has a new round of Vampire Diaries paperback releases coming this year. Interestingly, the last batch of releases (The Awakening and The Struggle on August 25th) was in a slightly-smaller-than-trade format, but two new covers for The Awakening and The Struggle have popped up in "rack" (traditional paperback) format (and will be a dollar more in price at $7.99). Looks like HarperTeen might be bringing the cover design of those two volumes more in line with The Fury and Dark Reunion covers we blogged about in early November, and those release dates remain April 27th and May 25th, respectively. But they will now be preceded by these two new covers on February 23rd and March 30th. You can pre-order all four volumes over on the HarperTeen website or on Amazon. (Click the images to see larger versions in our Gallery.)
And good news for those awaiting the next installment in The Return trilogy, Shadow Souls – Kindle users will have access to the book on March 1st. That's over two weeks before the book's regular release on March 16th.

The Official LeBron James Decoder
Greatness seemed everywhere in sports this weekend. Floyd Mayweather dismantled Shane Mosley and staked a legitimate claim to being the best boxer on the planet on Saturday. Oscar de la Hoya even suggested that Mayweather could be the best of all-time. Earlier in the day, jockey Calvin Borel rode Super Saver to victory in the Kentucky Derby. It was Borel's third win in the last four years, making him the only jockey in history to hold that distinction.
On Sunday, LeBron James asserted his standing as the greatest basketball player in the game by winning a second straight MVP award. He's only the 10th player in NBA history to win back-to-back MVPs. James accepted his award in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and, as is the case with anything James does, the "Where Will LeBron End Up?" watch was on. The Washington Post's Michael Lee writes that James made a vague and "cryptic" remark to the 3,000 fans in attendance about his future when he accepted the award.
"No matter what might be ahead of me, throughout my whole life, I will never be gone from this," James said. "Akron, Ohio is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio is my life. I love this city."
At this point, he's just messing with us, right? It's like James discovered the exact sentence structure that would turn out the most confusing, contradicting set of statements for the fans. Observe:
"No matter what might be ahead of me…" ("I'm going to sign with Miami!")
"…I will never be gone from this." ("Just kidding, I'm staying.")
"Akron, Ohio is my home." ("I might even slip you chumps a hometown discount …")
"It will always be remembered." ("… in 10 years after my contract with the Knicks runs out.")
"Akron, Ohio is my life. I love this city." ("You realize I'm toying with you all right now, correct? Shaq's writing my speeches.")
No matter where James ends up, we will forever have Dennis Manoloff's minute-by-minute account of the MVP's day on March 31, from the moment he stepped on the floor at 4:57 p.m. to security closing the gate and cutting off access to James at 10:41. The world doesn't necessarily need to know that at 5:17 James shook hands and hugged former teammate Darnell Jackson of Milwaukee, but it flows perfectly in a mesmerizing piece.
Matt Moore of Pro Basketball Talk wonders where the seven of the 122 votes not cast for LeBron came from, and why he didn't get a unanimous win. He even calls out some voters who publicly said they were going with Dwight Howard and tries to rationalize their perceived madness.
"It's a subjective award, and there are a million ways to interpret its parameters," writes Moore. "But if we're going to hold this award up as a symbol of respect, to recognize what is widely accepted outside of NBA-centric circles as an indication of the best basketball player on the planet for a given season, the NBA and its media partners need to give the voting process the respect it deserves."
The Atlanta Hawks had one of the more interesting turnarounds in recent sports history. Five years ago, they were a miserable 13-69 — or just one game better than this year's New Jersey Nets. On Sunday, however, they powered past the Milwaukee Bucks in Game Seven of their first-round matchup after winning a gutsy Game Six, avoiding a historic collapse and advancing to face the Orland Magic.
Tony Mejia of Pro Basketball News thinks that a combination of Dwight Howard being snubbed in the MVP voting and the Hawks being his hometown team will provide a messy combination for Atlanta in Round Two. "This seems like one of these coincidences we shouldn't ignore," writes Mejia, who also points out that Howard went to pre-school with Atlanta's Josh Smith.
* * *
Mayweather and Super Saver had historic Saturdays, but they weren't the only noteworthy stories in Kentucky or Las Vegas. On Friday night at Churchill Downs, 2009's Horse of the Year, Rachel Alexandra, jockeyed by Borel, ran in the La Troienne Stakes. She went off as a 1-5 favorite, but eventually lost to Unrivaled Belle. This was the second straight defeat for the filly, after taking six months off.
"I felt like the mouse that stole the cheese," Kent Desormeaux, who rode Unrivaled Belle to victory, told the Boston Globe.
The next night in Las Vegas, 19-year-old redhead Saul Alvarez took another step in becoming the Next Big Thing with a victory over Juan Miguel Cotto. Michael Woods of The Sweet Science bemoaned the lack of a strong undercard, but saw a silver lining with the presence of Alvarez.
"You could look on the bright side, and say you were there—or, at least-watching on the tube—when Mexican future star Saul Alvarez arrived on the radar screens of fight fans," Woods writes.
ESPN's Dan Rafael says that Oscar de la Hoya personally pitched Golden Boy Promotions to Alvarez in Mexico. After the signing, Rafael writes, De La Hoya called the move "a historical day for Golden Boy."
* * *
Greatness managed to escape at least one high-profile athlete this weekend: Tiger Woods failed to make the cut for just the sixth time in his career at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.
"Never had Woods missed a cut by so many strokes," writes the London Telegraph's Oliver Brown. "Never had he recorded a worse 36 holes as a professional."
Jesper Parnevik, who introduced Woods to his wife Elin, is still not ready to forgive. He told the Associated Press that while Elin visits their home, her husband probably won't be getting any invites for summertime backyard barbecues. "Tiger is not welcome here any longer," Parnevik said.
The Random Pop Culture News doesn't get any better for Woods. The Jamaican Observer's Kayon Raynor reports that Woods has been passed in Facebook fans by sprinter Usain Bolt. Woods has 1,401,764 fans. Bolt has 1,777,153.

What a great man! What a great UTE! Now this apostle of the Lord will have to cheer the UTES on from a new place and with a new perspective, but I doubt his love and enthusiasm for the Utah football team will change. I'm sure Coach Whittingham is sincere when he says he will miss Elder Wirthlin.

He is a great Apostle of Jesus Christ. I agree with everyone that Elder Wirthlin
was a great man and taught many correct principles. I'm just as confident that
he would not be down taunting the opposing team or fans, win or loose.
I believe he encouraged coaches, players, and fans to rise above such stupidity.
While he would be humiliated with all the attention which is drawn to him now I believe he would be resolute in his affirmation that inappropriate behavior should not take place anywhere including the moments of jubilation for winning the game or disappointment for loosing.
I believe he would expect something to be done about it. It won't get done if we don't learn from him and do it. I'm sure he would smile from above if change happened.

I think that it is time BYU fans stop stereo-typing us Utah fans in the negative
ways they do.
Elder Wirthlin is truly a perfect example of a respectful, class-act, Utah fan. There are many more of us out there who are comparitive with that.
We do not all show up to the games intoxicated. A large percentage of Utah fans are in the same church buildings every Sunday as BYU fans.
I only hope BYU fans can rise above to a more mature level, and not judge a fan base as a whole, but learn to know an individual before you go so far as to judge them.
Elder Wirthlin was a great man, who inspired so many lives over the years. May he always be remembered as the great Utah Football Fan/Supporter he was, and supporter of University of Utah Athletics he was, and first and foremost as the example he was to so many.

I didn't know that Elder Wirthlin was a Ute. That's a cool thing to learn about
I wish all who knew him well.
I have to agree that there is a common Ute fan stereotype. Though I think its only by BYU fans that we are considered the "drunken bad seed". The rest of the country thinks the opposite, that everyone in Utah is Mormon. Oh well.
But as this story proves, we're a pretty wide mix of fans. Unfortunately, some fans of every team can be idiots, drunk or sober. And some people don't know that being passionate about your team doesn't mean you have to be offensive.
Anyway as Elder Wirthlin has probably uttered many a time, GO UTES!

The Church has begun the Year of the Priest. At Priests for Life, we focus on how priests are, by definition, heralds of the Gospel of Life. By saying mass, the priest brings us the victory of life over death. He carries out his ministry in the person of Christ, who is the Resurrection and the Life. The priest teaches the way of life that gives priority to the poor and vulnerable – and none are more vulnerable than the unborn. The priest is called to mobilize and lead the faithful to work to build the Culture of Life. In the sacrament of Penance, the priest heals the wounds of the culture of death. Priests need our prayers and encouragement each day. Assure them that they have yours, so they can be strong and faithful.

James Cotton: 'The Voice Is Gone, But The Wind Is Still There'
Hear The Music
Cotton Mouth Man
Mississippi Mud
Conjure up a list of all-time great blues harmonica players, and high up on it you'll see the name James Cotton.
Cotton's music begins at the source: He was born in Tunica, Miss., and started playing harp at the age of 9, learning directly from Sonny Boy Williamson II. He eventually made his way to Chicago, where he played for a dozen years in Muddy Waters' band before he struck out on his own.
James Cotton is now in his 69th year of performing. Throat cancer has captured his singing voice, but his harmonica continues to wail. Or, as he tells it: "The voice is gone, but the wind is still there."
Cotton's latest album on Alligator Records is called Cotton Mouth Man. It features guest appearances by — among others — Gregg Allman, Delbert McClinton and Keb' Mo'. NPR's Scott Simon spoke with Cotton and Keb' Mo' about making the new album; click the audio link on this page to hear their conversation.

Tears fell down, her red puffy cheeks. She felt betrayed. (y/n) was abandoned by the (l/n) household exactly three hours ago. Make that three hours, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds. Numbers, the only comfort she ever had in life. Why? Because to her, numbers were logical. They were the only things that made sense.
Her family, two brothers, one sister, a father, a mother, ten maids, one butler, three cooks, 5 servants, and a lazy cat, all of them traitors. How dare they leave her here in the middle of a forest? All because of her special ability. (y/n) is a very intelligent young girl whose only concerns in life are the solutions for different formulas. Most families would see that as a talent, something to be proud of. But not hers. The only thing they want out of poor little (nickname) is a silent, obedient, girl who has no opinion about anything. The exact opposite of who she is.
The forest was dark and held many evil creatures in it. None of which concerned the girl who wanted nothing more than to count. In order to cheer herself up, she decided to play the numbers game.
Twelve trees in front of her, ten behind, eight to her left, nine to her right. Two owls sit on top of a tree with sixty branches that are visible.
The sound of hooves clacking on the rocky trail could be heard from a distance. Sixteen hooves, four horses, four wheels, one carriage. But how many people? At least two have to be in it. Finally the carriage comes closer to (y/n)'s small figure. Two heads, two people, one in front driving the carriage, one in the back relaxing.
They came to a stop in front of her, (y/n) not taking the hint that she's sitting in the middle of the road. She became lost in her numbers game.
Two ties, one per person, one pair of glasses, but how many buttons though? The driver stepped out first. He had fourteen buttons and two dull, yellow eyes.
(y/n) was completely caught up in this game, she forgot about why she was so upset. Who cares that her family hates her? She had her numbers and that's all she needs.
Finally the passenger stepped out. Twenty-two buttons. She loves buttons; they're so much fun to count. In fact, the dress she is currently wearing contains thirty- two buttons, sixteen white, fourteen black, and two grey.
"Are you even listening to me?" An annoyed voice asked, more like yelled. (y/n) looked up with bright (e/c) jewels. She completely zoned out anything this young, obviously rich boy had to say. Instead she decided to take in his strange appearance. He had short, light blond hair, and pretty blue eyes. He had on a long, purple coat, black booty shorts, and a green shirt. So strange.
"Pay attention to me damn it!" He shouted, again breaking her train of thought. Finally she decided to listen to this child, probably no older than her.
"Why are you out here and what are you doing exactly?" He finally calmed his tone down.
"I've been get out of my family and abandoned out here about four hours, twelve minutes, and six seconds ago, so I decided to play a game." (y/n) replied, a cocky tone to her voice.
"A game?" The boy asked, "What kind of game?"
"A counting game." (y/n) stated. "You have to count out everything you see, the clouds, the trees, the birds, anything and everything. It's more fun to play with someone else."
"Can I play?" The boy asked.
"Your highness, we have to get back home." The driver, who was obviously this boy's butler stated, interrupting the conversation.
"Claude! Don't interrupt me when I'm about to play a game with my new friend!"
Friend? But she didn't even know his name. Besides, she never had a friend before, why would he want to be friends with me. (y/n) zoned out as the boy argued with his butler, Claude, about whether or not they should leave.
"So I take your silence as a yes?" The boy suddenly asked. (y/n) looked up at the boy wide eyed, wondering what the hell she agreed to.
"Yay! Claude, when we get home, make my room look presentable, I want miss, umm, wait what was your name again?" "(Y/n)…" "Yeah, (y/n) that's it, I want her to sleep with me from now on. I want to always be close to my best friend, (y/n)!" His tone was so cheerful and contagious; (y/n) couldn't help but smile and giggle herself. "You know, I didn't quite catch your name either, best friend." She liked the way best friend sounded on her tongue.
"Oh! I'm Alois Tracy!" He replied, holding his hand out the young girl. (Y/n) smiled taking his hand in her small, fragile one.
~two months later~
"Ten roses?" "Nope." "Eight." "Getting close." "Oh now I remember, six red roses are behind the bush. Right?" "Yep, you got it." Alois smiled, surprisingly he never got tired of this game. (y/n) helped make it exciting.
"Now (y/n), here's your next challenge, how many diamonds are in your ring on your finger." (y/n) looked confused.
"But Alois, I'm not wearing a ring." She whined in a childish voice. Alois, chuckling slightly, pulled out a velvet box and got down on one knee. He opened it up presenting a beautiful sliver ring with three tiny diamonds on it.
"Three, he stated, one for the past, one for the present, and one for the future, as long as you promise to be my beautiful, smart wife."
(y/n) smiled, hugging the boy who for once acted mature.
Four wedding bells, two doves, thirty five guests, and two lovers. (y/n) loves numbers, but she loves Alois more.
Numbers (Alois Tracy x reader) by centhenyWatch
©2013-2016 centheny
My first request done, now time to do a bunch more.
I rarely do fluff so this may be a little not so good, but I'm still pretty proud of it. The temptation to give this a sad ending was huge, but I pulled through. *dramatic tear drop*
Alois: what the hell kind of sad ending would you give this
me: um, you know, death and stuff...
Alois: you were going to kill me off, weren't you?
me: maybe~
Alois you're a bitch..
so anywho, I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. And I don't own Alois or you, Alois belongs to black butler and you belong to Alois of course. ^^

But I love this ending. Plus I love Alois, he's an amazing character.

i have 2 brother and 1 sister omg
I want my husband to say, 'one for the past, one for the present and one for the future' when he asks me to marry him. I'd be trying so hard not to fangirl XD
The funny thing is, I actually count everything. The title 'Numbers' was what caught my attention cause I put everything into numbers without even meaning to. It's just count this and that, keep the beat and everything. I loved this though, amazing!
I actually have 1 brother and he's the second oldest and a sister that's the oldest so I'm the youngest but that's ok! XD
Oh dear sweet merciful God... Awwww~ <3 That is just too cute!

Stranger in the Moonlight
Jude Deveraux
September 2012, Contemporary Romance
Pocket, $7.99, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 1416509755
Ms. Deverauxs talent as a wordsmith is not enough to overcome the caricatured characters and weakly plotted story. And while it is not immediately noticeable, I was amazed at several themes within the story that are insulting to women.
Twelve-year-old Travis Merritt's life dramatically changed after his two-week vacation in Edilean, Virginia. Home schooled at his fathers insistence, Travis' solitary life is filled with quiet days studying with his tutor. He doesnt have any friends and his mother is incapable of standing up to his father. However, when his father goes away to Japan, he and his mother sneak away to Edilean. There he meets an eight-year-old girl, Kim Aldredge, who claims she is good at having fun, and offers to show him how to have it. He spends his days learning to ride a bike, climb a tree, skim rocks across ponds and play ball. When his mother gets word that he father is on his way home, they abruptly leave in the middle of the night, depriving him of the opportunity of saying goodbye.
Still this eye-opening experience changed him, and he has the courage to demand that his father allow physical instruction as well as academic. This training serves him well as he later embraces extreme sports, even winning in the Monte Carlos races. After he and his father have a falling out, he uses this aptitude to establish a career as a stuntman. It is only after his mother absconds with millions of his fathers money, hiding out in Edilean, that he is blackmailed into joining his fathers firm. However the status quo is about to change again, as four years later his mother calls to inform him she has fallen in love and wants a divorce. He is both hesitant and exhilarated at the thought of returning to Edilean.
Kim Aldredge is a successful and talented jewelry designer. She appears to be lucky in all things except love. She's dating someone nice, but there are no fireworks; still, she is hopeful that it might develop into something significant. At her cousin Tristans wedding she escapes from all the happy couples to spend time at the old playhouse - filled with so many happy childhood memories - when a stranger asks, Do you still teach people to have fun? Assuming this is just another pickup line she starts to leave, but with the next question she realizes that the man is Travis. Travis confides that he is there checking up on his mother, revealing to Kim that he is afraid his mother has fallen for someone only interested in her money or worst, another intimidating man. After exchanging confidences and spending time catching up it becomes late, so Kim offers Travis the use of her guesthouse.
Women do very poorly in Ms. Deveraux's world. Throughout the book there is a recurring little woman theme. Travis mother is such a weak doormat that he reaches the age of twelve without ever having played, which honestly took me aback. Parents do play with their children. Over the years Travis has turned into his mothers protector, and unbeknownst to Kim, her protector too. He follows her progress on the web. He appears at her jewelry showings, although never letting her see him, and when the bank was about to turn down her home mortgage loan, he interfered. Even though he is displaying stalker characteristics, he excuses it because he cares so much for her. However, during this time he is busy adding notches to his bedpost.
Any types of ethics - from work to confidentiality - are in short supply in Stranger In the Moonlight. Kim is supposedly this professional businesswoman, but at the first sign of interest from Travis, pawns off an important project to her assistant so she can spend time with Travis, as he breaks into his mothers boyfriends business. Who also happens to be Kims best friends father. During the drive there, they take a turn onto a nearly impassable road. Without telling Kim of his experience as a race car driver, he just implores her to trust him, and frightens her to death as he uses the tricks of his trade. At the end of the tumultuous ride, Kim looks like a shock victim, just meekly sitting there and saying she is fine. That reaction seems so off. I can tell you profanities would have been coming out of my mouth, along with "Are you f*** crazy?" Looks like Travis has found a doormat like his mother.
There are a couple of secondary romances, but the plot details are paper thin as is Travis big denouement with his family.
No surprise that I am not recommending this book. You should definitely use the three to four hours it would take you to read this book on another one.
-- Leigh Davis

Squash Blossom Risotto
I haven't made risotto in a while, and I had almost forgotten how wonderful it is. Risotto should be loose and a little runny, not a tight little ball when scooped onto a plate. I finished this one with a handful of grated cheese and a little butter to give it a richness. The term … Continue reading
Quinoa with Snap Peas and Mint
I'm a big fan of quinoa because it reminds me of pasta but it's actually a seed so it's healthier. You can basically treat it as you would any small pasta and it works, although my favorites are either mushroom-based or citrus-based. When I saw these beautiful snap peas at the farmers market, it seemed … Continue reading
Mediterranean Citrus Couscous
As you might know by now, I love citrus. The olives in this recipe give it a nice salty, earthy bite and balances out the bright freshness of the citrus. Cooking this couscous in the juice really brings out the citrus flavor without adding fats like cheese and butter. I happened to find kaffir lime … Continue reading
Stuffing and Turkey Roulade
Well, it's time for the pre-Thanksgiving round-up. After several lovely meals for the holiday, I can say I'm done with turkey until next year. Not including turkey sandwiches or ground turkey. But the whole bird…I've had enough for a while. I thought we were getting a de-boned and butterflied turkey breast from the butcher, but … Continue reading
Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa
Well, after making the mini pies, I had some strawberries and rhubarb left over. I usually put some sort of fruit in my quinoa (peaches, pineapple, mango, grapes, etc), so I thought I'd give it a try. Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa 1 cup quinoa 2 cups chicken stock 1/4 cup white wine 1 stalk rhubarb, chopped … Continue reading

"We are all voyeurs, all trespassers in the arena of intimacy" wrote Michael Pellerin. By nature, I am a voyeur and my camera has served as a passport into the lives of many men, allowing a study of their idiosyncrasies and the incredible geography of their bodies and faces. The powerful triangular rapport created by the photographer and model and captured by the camera continues fascinate me. In photographing the male nude, I try to be as open with my feelings as I can be. All we know is what we feel; all else is merely assumption. Photographing men nude is a curious, sentimental journey into the world of my intellectual and emotional feelings. The results are proud, confident, desirable objects of sexual beauty. In reality, honest representations of what men are capable of being. Education: BA in Art; Minor in Photography San Jose State University

If you're in the dating game, you've probably heard and/or uttered the phrase, "What are we? Where do you feel like this is going?" Statements like these come from doubt and anxiety about a date's intentions or expectations. While one person may be eager to establish a commitment, the other may be waiting for more certainty before taking the plunge and making it "Facebook official." But statements like "What are we?" get couples talking about how both men want to share their emotions, their bodies, their social circles, and their time.
Language and understanding are crucial to determine and accept where you and your man-friend fall on the dating spectrum. Consider these terms in your relationship status:
"We're seeing each other"
The most open-ended of labels, this phrase generally implies that you are chatting online, texting, or hanging out without the structure of formalized dates. At this point, you may or may not be sexually involved. The option to date and sleep with each other, and other people, is open. You likely have not yet introduced each other to your friends. Also, you're waiting to see if he's crazy.
What to learn from this phase: your preferences, insecurities, and deal-breakers; is he crazy?
"We're friends with benefits"
You are friends first-and-foremost. You enjoy each other's company, even if only for the sex. The intimacy you share is more physical than emotional, and you likely don't spend long amounts of time together. Your social circles may be familiar with your arrangement but are not likely invested in its outcome. The option to date and sleep with other people is still open. You now know he's not crazy, but for whatever reason you both know and accept that your bond won't develop into a committed relationship. You remain casual and have no expectations of each other.
What to learn from this phase: how to be a sex maverick; how to avoid getting clingy.
"We're lovers"
*See "friends with benefits," but add the addendum, "If it wasn't for [xyz], we would totally be in a relationship." XYZ may equal "He's only here for a month," "He's in an open relationship," "He doesn't want his kids to know about us," etc. If you're lovers, your intimate connection is satisfyingly sexual and potentially emotional. You likely feel excited about this person and want to spend time with him frequently, but you both know and accept there is an expiration date to this whirlwind romance.
What to learn from this phase: how to go out of your way to make someone happy; how to avoid becoming distant.
"We're dating"
If you are dating, you must be going on actual dates. Dates don't have to be at a bar or the movies per se, but the intent to share more time must be mutual. Your bond has likely developed some physical intimacy. The likelihood of dating and sleeping with other people may still be open at this point, but is lower. The likelihood that your social circles know about your dating status is much higher (and soon, you will likely look for your best friend's stamp of approval on this guy). Dating's true distinction from all other categories thus far is that you are open to the idea that this could become something more. There is no expiration date. This is the last zone before true commitment comes into play, so ending or changing your bond in this phase is simpler and less painful. Adult relationships can't remain in this phase for long periods of time but it's important to get to know this guy before you commit to something bigger. Straight folks have gender roles and expectations tied up in deciding how long this phase should be. For gay men, consider a 2-6 month dating span before determining if you're ready to take things to the next level.
What to learn from this phase: romance 101; how to consistently make time for another human; what type of chemistry clicks with you right now; how to have fun together; what mistakes to avoid.
"We're boyfriends"
At this phase, you have had an actual conversation about being committed to a romantic relationship with one another. You have heard or said the words, "Would you like to be boyfriends?" and the other party has responded, "Yes!" Once you are in a committed romantic relationship, it is most likely with the understanding that it will be an emotional, sexual, and socially integrated bond. You prioritize him into your life. Your social circles know and acknowledge your boyfriend. Remember, this category does not automatically mean you are monogamous. Be sure to have this overt conversation together, e.g. "How do you feel about sleeping with other people?" Whatever the answer, be sure that both of you are comfortable with the impact and have discussed boundaries.
What to learn from this phase: how to love a man; how to argue and resolve conflict; how to impress your boyfriends' family and friends.
"We're partners"
This term has become more popular with straight couples, and marriage is a more viable option for gay couples, so understanding the context of "partners" is important. Partnership typically means that you started as boyfriends and your commitment level has evolved. The honeymoon phase is over but you still love one another. The sex has probably become less dazzling, but your emotional bond has likely become very strong. At this phase, couples are usually living together and potentially sharing a bank account. You are considered family members. Again, you may or may not be monogamous, but are on the same page about it.
What to learn from this phase: how to love a man unconditionally; what you wish to accomplish with your lives together.
"We're engaged"
He liked it, so he put a ring on it. It goes without saying that at this point you have determined that you wish to build a future together. The difference between this phase and "partners" is of course the intent to get married. You should both be sure you want to spend the rest of your lives making the other one happy, knowing that you both will change over time, and you are prepared to accept those changes. You look forward to growing old together.
What to learn from this phase: what this man is like in all seasons; what type of husband you will be; if you want to be fathers together; how to forgive.
"We're married"
You're married.
What to learn from this phase: I'll let you know once I'm married.
A few last words of advice: take this article with a grain of salt. Don't let expectations pressure you into something you're not comfortable doing. Don't have sex before you're ready. Don't become monogamous or "open" before you're ready. Don't propose before you're ready. Don't compare yourself to someone else's relationship. Open, honest communication is the most important key to expressing your intentions and goals with your man-friend, and active listening is the most important skill to understanding his perspective and wishes. As gay men, we have the perk of hitting "snooze" on our biological clocks. Don't compromise your most important goals in life, but be open to a flexible timeline and new possibilities.

May 21, 2000
UCLA softball players Natasha Watley and Lyndsey Klein were named to the All-Pacific Region first-team, while teammate Julie Marshall earned second-team honors.
Watley, a freshman shortstop from Irvine, CA (Woodbridge HS), set new UCLA career and single-season records for stolen bases (32) in just her first season. Entering May 21, Watley led the Bruins in batting (.436), hits (75), triples (4) and steals.
Klein earned all-region honors for the first time in her career after batting .364 with a team-high 53 runs scored and 53 runs batted in. Klein, a senior second baseman from Roseville, CA (Oakmont HS) also leads the team in slugging percentage (.636) and ranks second in home runs with eight.
Marshall, a senior catcher from Bethel Island, CA (Liberty HS) earned all-region honors for the third time in her career. Marshall is currently batting .311 with a team-high 10 home runs to go along with 50 RBIs. Recently, she became the first Bruin and the 12th NCAA Division I player to accumulate 200 career RBIs.
All three players were also selected to the All-Pac-10 first team.

Are you getting married this year? If you have a spring or summer wedding, now is the time to put together your diet and exercise program to get fit for your wedding. Of course, you're busy with organizing, dress shopping and honeymoon planning, but if you can take a few minutes to lay out a healthy plan for food and exercise you'll be able to walk down the aisle with a body that makes you proud.
What not to do if you need to lose weight
The worst thing you can do if you are a bride who needs to lose weight is to wait until the last minute and go on a fad diet to slim down. Many of these plans, like the M-Plan Diet (rumored to be Katy Perry's diet of choice) or the 3 Day Military Diet will leave your body deprived of nutrients. Who wants to look gaunt and pale in wedding photos?
Of course, you could also leave your workouts until the end, too. If you go that route, you risk the side effects of overtraining. You may end up tired, injured or sick.
The best weight loss plan for brides
If you have a few weeks to spare, go on the Best Diet Plan for Brides and use the Wedding Dress Workout Plan to get in shape for your big day. The plan is designed to give you enough time to sleep, relax and do essential wedding planning activities. You'll also get essential nutrients to keep your hair, skin and body in good shape.

Today, Interpol released its first studio track from their upcoming album El Pintor. The song, titled "All The Rage Back Home" was released along with a music video that was directed by Interpol lead singer Paul Banks and Sophia Peer (an immediate download of the song is available if you pre-order El Pintor on iTunes).
In the very simplistic music video which is shot in black and white (Interpol called it a 'video component'), the footage cuts between the band performing the song (in a very similar lighting manner to The Police's iconic music video for "Every Breath You Take") and images of surfers riding massive waves, shot in a style that would make Herb Ritts proud.
With previous live teases of new material and recent appearances at both Glastonbury Festival and Governors Ball in New York City, it seems Interpol is returning to form on El Pintor (which is Spanish for The Painter and also an anagram of the band's name), which will be released to the public on September 9th.
Interpol will continue to tour in Europe and Australia before returning to the States for appearances at this year's Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, followed by tour stops including the Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, the FYF Fest in Los Angeles and a performance at The Pool at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

"The Western observer tends to split the Russian press into two camps: evil statists and martyrs. But for their part, members of the Russian press are convinced of their superiority over their Western colleagues, at least when it comes to Syria. Russian journalists aren't under the illusion that they are more objective than their Western counterparts, but they are convinced of their ability to convey a more realistic, complex picture of the events in Syria." - The New Republic: In Russia, Even Putin's Critics Are OK With His Syria Policy

Russia Uses Microsoft to Suppress Dissent - Adding to its long-running series on corruption and abuse in post-Communist Russia, the New York Times has reported on Russian authorities using the pretext of software piracy to seize computers from journalists and political dissidents critical of current policies. In a surprising twist, lawyers representing Microsoft have been found working with Russian police, despite reporters and NGOs providing evidence of legitimate software purchases. An official response to the NYT piece suggests impostors claim to represent Microsoft in Russia, and notes the company's offer of free software licenses to these and similar groups.
GQ bans Moscow blast article, bloggers catch up
It took spontaneously crowd-sourced translators less than 24 hrs to make an article on the FSB's (former KGB) alleged implication in the Moscow 1999 apartment blasts accessible in Russian.

The Best Investigative Reporter You've Never Heard Of
The Best Investigative Reporter You've Never Heard Of died Wednesday from a rare blood disease he picked up reporting in the slums of Bombay. Robert Friedman was beaten by religious zealots after writing about Rabbi Meir Kahane, had a contract taken out on his life after writing about "The Most Dangerous Mobster in the World" and got a Valentine's card threatening rape and murder after writing about Russian organized crime links to the NHL. This December article about the Israel/Palestine situation, which may be the last piece he wrote, is detailed, balanced and yet pulls no punches -- a good example of his hard-hitting style. His death leaves a gaping hole in journalism.

College Hockey:Merrimack, UML Tie
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Sophomore Jordan Fox scored his third goal of the season with 4:09 remaining in the third period, and freshman goaltender Patrick Watson made 36 saves as Merrimack College earned a 2-2 with UMass Lowell in Hockey East action Friday night at Lawler Arena.
Jeremy Hall and J.R. Bria scored for the River Hawks, who outshot the Warriors 38-23 on the evening and saw their record move to 10-17-2 (7-13-2 HEA).
UML took a 1-0 lead with a power play goal at 9:07 of the first period when Hall took a pass from Danny O'Brien on the left wing boards and beat Watson to the glove side for his 12th goal of the season. The River Hawks outshot the Warriors 15-6 in the first period.
Merrimack (5-19-5, 2-15-5 HEA) tied the game at one when sophomore Jeff Royston one-timed a pass from junior Justin Mills for his third goal of the season. Mills forced a turnover in the River Hawks end and found Royston in the slot for the goal.
The River Hawks struck back on the power play just 1:57 later to take a 2-1 lead. Mark Pandolfo fed a pass from the right wing boards to the left point, where Bria fired a shot past Watson's glove for his third goal of the season. UML continued to dominate the play throughout the second period and took a 24-11 shot advantage into the third period.
In the third, the Warriors received a four-on-three power-play opportunity when Andrew Martin went to the penalty box for interference at 15:16. Following a timeout, senior Bryan Schmidt sent a shot from the point that was stopped by UML netminder Peter Vetri, but Fox slapped the puck into the back of the net to tie the game at two. The goal was Fox's third of the season with assists going to Schmidt and sophomore Hank Carisio.
Vetri made 21 saves for the River Hawks, who finished the night 2-7 on the power play. Merrimack, meanwhile, failed to convert its first eight chances before Fox's tally.

After over five years in Hamas captivity, Gilad Shalit to return to Israel on Tuesday
On Sunday evening (October 16), IDF officials, including Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, presented Defense Minister Ehud Barak with the final details of the transfer of Glad Shalit to Israel that will take place on Tuesday (October 18).
Barak approved the plan which will ensure the coordinated release of Palestinian prisoners and the transfer of Shalit to Israel.
Various details, including security arrangements for the exchange, were discussed during the meeting.
"Gilad Shalit will return to his country and his family after being held for more than five years by Hamas," Barak said.
Barak added that Shalit would be welcomed with a modest reception, emphasizing the needs of Shalit and his family.
Shalit will be transferred to Israel via Egypt on Tuesday morning. When Shalit arrives in Israel, he will be checked by a doctor. At the same time, Shalit will speak with his family by telephone. Within a short time period, Shalit will be flown to the Tel Nof Airbase where he will meet his family. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be present. While at Tel Nof, Shalit will undergo additional medical and psychological tests.
Lt. Gen. Gantz visited the Shalit family last Thursday and updated them on details regarding Gilad's return.
Commander of the Manpower Directorate, Lt. Gen. Orna Barbivai, and IDF Spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Yoav (Poly) Mordechai also took part in that visit.
The agreement to free Shalit was approved during a night cabinet meeting held on Tuesday (October 11). During the meeting, defense establishment leaders including Lt. Gen. Gantz, Israel Security Agency chief Yoram Cohen, Mossad chief Tamir Perdo and the prime minister's representative David Meidan, evaluated and supported the exchange agreement.

CATEGORY: EDT Editorials
Editorial, Sunday, Aug. 30, 1998
People in the late 20th century communicate easily and quickly with e-mails and voice mails and answer phones. The notion of writing letters long, informative, and illuminating letters seems to be slipping away from the personal practice of most people.
Our contemporary lapse in letter writing may make it harder to understand why the "letters" that make up so much of the New Testament are such masterpieces of both insight and inspiration 19 centuries or more after their spread across the world of the Roman Empire.
The Apostle Paul stands head-and-shoulders above all others identified with letters in the New Testament's formative years as a writer and sender of letters. They overflow with words and phrases that convey to readers the fullness of Paul's own experiences of faith and his expectations for those to whom he wrote.
The letters to Timothy, along with the brief letter to Philemon, are the only ones of Paul's epistles written to individuals. The others are written to churches in specific cities and with specific situations that needed pastoral and authoritative attention.
An early document listing the New Testament books describes the letters to Timothy as having been written with "feeling and affection."
The opening sentences of the first letter to Timothy reveal the depth of affection and concern he held for his friend:
"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the royal command of God, our Savior, and of Jesus Christ, our Hope, writes this letter to Timothy, his true child in the faith. Grace, mercy and peace be to you from our Lord Jesus Christ."
The three key words in the last sentence of that warm greeting are grace, mercy and peace. They conveyed to Timothy, and now to us at the approach of a third millennium, powerful messages about the goodness of God.
The commentator and biblical scholar William Barclay, steeped in both classical and New Testamment Greek, explained their importance:
– Grace, he wrote, conveys in its New Testament sense the "sheer generosity" and "sheer universality" of God toward people. We are accepted and loved, not because we merit it, but because God desires it.
– Peace conveys the completeness and well-being of people within the love of God.
– Mercy, a "new" word with special significance in this particular letter, is rooted deeply in Hebrew scriptures and the new Christian faith. Barclay describes it as knowing that the 'Most High" is on our side when our backs are against the wall in every kind of human situation.
Short sentence. Great meaning.
Little words. Powerful hope.
"Grace, mercy and peace be to you from our Lord Jesus Christ."

Let's not talk around the subject: Short-term headwinds persist for Citigroup (NYSE:C) with respect to a potential settlement with the Department of Justice.
While the bank is still clawing its way back to normalizing bank profits, legal troubles continue to be an ongoing headache at one of the largest banks in the country.
However, legal troubles and settlement risk are only likely to affect Citigroup's share price in the short-term, while the long-term earnings power of Citigroup will remain unaffected.
Department of Justice playing hardball
Just like Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup was one of the financial institutions that really pushed mortgage originations and were big players in the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) business before the financial crisis erupted.
Unfortunately, as it turned out later, underwriting standards were so diluted that the bank took serious hits to its bottom line as delinquencies soared and the values of residential MBS collapsed.
As a result, the Department of Justice has started to probe the banks' mortgage selling practices, which contributed materially to the implosion of the U.S. housing market, and is currently in settlement negotiations with Citigroup and Bank of America.
While Citigroup offered to put approximately $4 billion on the table to resolve the probe, Bank of America offered $12 billion to settle with the Department of Justice.
Bank of America's settlement offer is larger than Citigroup's offer due to Bank of America's larger origination market share.
In any case, those are serious dollars and settlements certainly have the potential to cause some short-term damage to the share prices of the two banks.
However, the Department of Justice and lead investigator and negotiator Associate Attorney General Tony West would have none of it.
The DOJ, driven by an increasing desire to raise its public profile as a tough prosecutor of banks that engaged in mortgage misdeeds, actually demanded Bank of America to pay up as much as $17 billion while Citigroup was said to have to pay $10 billion in order to end the DOJ's probes.
Associate Attorney General Tony West's approach to dealing with Bank of America and Citigroup and his unwillingness to settle for the offering amounts, are certainly indicating a tougher stance on the banks, that could define the way authorities deal with financial institutions going forward.
Just last week it was reported that Citigroup is now nearing a deal with prosecutors to resolve the mortgage probes for a consideration of $7 billion.
Settlement good for Citigroup and shareholders
Generally speaking, a $7 billion settlement with the DOJ is good for Citigroup, because the bank avoids the maximum settlement of $10 billion or a long, costly court battle with the DOJ which clearly would be a public relations disaster.
A settlement is also good for shareholders as a lot of uncertainty hanging over Citigroup's stock is going to subside.
By extension, it is also a good development for Bank of America which surely is closely watching the negotiation progress between the DOJ and Citigroup, because of its implications for its own negotiations: A $7 billion Citigroup/DOJ settlement would certainly suggest, that Bank of America will be able to settle for a considerably lower amount than the $17 billion that is currently being circulated.
Already cheap
Both Citigroup and Bank of America are still trading cheaply with both banks displaying serious book value discounts of 29% and 26% respectively.
Though settlements, if finalized, might cause some short-term selling pressure, the value proposition of Citigroup and Bank of America will only become more compelling as the long-term earnings outlook of the two banks will not be affected by the settlement at all.
The Foolish Bottom Line
Investors, who are invested in Citigroup for the long haul shouldn't sweat the settlement at all. Based on conventional book value metrics, Citigroup is already cheap.
Should investors sell off Citigroup in light of an announced settlement with the DOJ, this would make for an extraordinary purchase opportunity for an already cheap large-cap banking franchise.
Citigroup + Apple? This device makes it possible.
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its destined to change everything from banking to health care. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!
