Postherpetic Neuralgia
Current as of: May 24, 2016
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: E. Gregory Thompson, MD - Internal Medicine & Martin J. Gabica, MD - Family Medicine
Postherpetic neuralgia is pain, headaches, and nerve problems that occur as a complication of shingles (herpes zoster). Postherpetic neuralgia lasts for at least 30 days and can continue for months to years.
People who develop shingles after age 50 and who have severe pain and rash during shingles have the greatest risk for having postherpetic neuralgia. It most commonly occurs on the forehead or chest. The pain linked with postherpetic neuralgia may make it difficult to eat, sleep, and do daily activities. It may also increase the risk for depression.
Early treatment of shingles with antiviral medicines may prevent postherpetic neuralgia. If postherpetic neuralgia does occur, certain over-the-counter and prescription medicines can relieve pain.

The city council of Benidorm has decided to suspend the Latin concert "46664" that was going to take place August 21st.In a public statement José Amor said the reason for the cancellation is the low popularity of the acts willing to perform. Crowd pleasers who are not participating are Enrique Iglesias, Chayanne, Shakira, Ricky Martín, Paulina Rubio and Gloria Estefan. Amor said those were the names who were supposed to sell the event.As matters are, the concert is not suitable for Benidorm and will rather cause people to stay at home than to incite a "fiesta" in any city - said Amor.taken fromhttp://www.benidormciudad.net/0noticias/noticia_3037.shtml

Yamaha makes its return to World Superbikes in 2016 with a mixture of youth and experience - (left to right) Sylvain Guintoli and Alex Lowes.
While for the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team it was a lot of same ol', same ol,' that definitely wasn't the case today for the unveiling of the Pata Yamaha World Superbike team. New team, new riders, new bike and a new challenge the 2016 World Superbike Championship.
Yamaha returns to the championship after a four-year absence, and with that return they brought a new weapon the YZF-R1M. In collaboration with the Crescent Racing team, Yamaha is fielding riders Alex Lowes and 2014 World Superbike Champion Sylvain Guintoli.
Heres a look at the official teams livery for 2016

It's a sort of homecoming for Lowes who won his 2013 British Superbike title on a Yamaha. Can the young Brit climb his way to the top of the World Championship on the new R1?

As for Guintoli, the 2014 World Superbike champ hopes for a return to glory with the new team after a rough season on the Pata Honda.

An incredible journey
Joseph Salmon was a happy, healthy three-year-old boy who loved life and enjoyed playing with his toys and going on trains and buses with his mummy and daddy. Then in April 2005 he died suddenly from pneumonia. The charity the Joseph Salmon Trust was set up in his name to offer financial support to those struggling to cope after the death of a child.
Today a group of intrepid people including the wonderful Jo and Ellie embark on Hadrian's Walk, a six day trek along the 84-mile long Hadrian's Wall footpath, to raise funds and awareness for the Trust. I hope you will join me in showing your support – you can find out more here.

Knowing exactly what "people foods" are safe for your precious dog to occasionally enjoy is absolutely crucial. After all, what may be totally harmless to a human being isn't necessarily so for a canine. Fortunately, plain, cut green beans aren't just nonhazardous to your hungry cutie, they're also good for him.
Nutritious People Food
The ASPCA notes that green beans are a totally safe food for your doggie to enjoy once in a while. They're nutritious and low in calories. If your hungry canine wants a healthy treat, or you want to give him a break from his standard treats, green beans are a good way to go.
Although green beans are healthy for pets, it's important to remember your doggie's daily diet should consist mainly of foods specifically suited to canines. The ASPCA indicates that snacks, including green beans, are suitable in moderation -- make them no more than 5 percent to 10 percent of your doggie's food intake. Remember to exercise moderation in dishing out the green beans. Think two or three cut green bean pieces rather than a handful of them, for example.
Tummy Trouble
Abrupt diet changes can trigger tummy distress in pets, whether diarrhea, bellyache or something other. If the addition of cut green beans, even in small amounts, brings on any sign of discomfort in your doggie, stop allowing him to eat it. Even if cut green beans are delicious to him, it's simply not worth any potential malaise. You'll regret giving him too big of a portion at first. Sudden additions to the diet are a primary cause of temporary gastrointestinal distress in dogs.
No Seasoning or Flavoring
If you're serving your pet fresh cut green beans, keep them plain. Don't add any flavoring, whether butter, garlic, salt or anything else. Remember butter is a dairy product, and doggie systems aren't usually very effective at lactose digestion. Garlic and every other member of the onion family are toxic to dogs, so keep them far away from the green beans you're feeding dogs. Sodium in excess also can be a risk for pets, often leading to frequent urination and dehydration. As for any canned green beans, make sure they totally are salt-free.
Fresh Green Beans
Fresh green beans straight from the garden also may work as a yummy treat for your doggie, as long as you wash the veggies thoroughly first, of course. Just make sure to avoid overripe green beans, as they're too fibrous. If a green bean is indeed overripe, you may notice conspicuous lumps on the surface, and it may be on the limper side. Keep your doggie away from those, as newly ripe green beans are the way to go. Test a green bean's ripeness situation by attempting to break it in two. If it produces a snapping sound, you're OK.

To exist in times of misfortune, menaced, unyielding, to face up to discouraging eventualities, and therefore retreat into one's inner depths - nothing can better satisfy the excesses of desire.
Excessive voluptuousness enlarges the heart, devastates it and forces it to become hard. It is the unlimited exigency of desire that gives the human heart its astonishing audacity.
Exhausted by paroxysms of pleasure or morally elated, you entice life away from the pusillanimous delays.

Taking a closer look at Galette new contract is pretty intriguing. The way he was handled flies in the face of everything the Saints have done the last few years in regards to players and their contracts. When Pierre wanted a new contract they said nope, play on this one year tender and well talk. After the one year was up they inked him long term. Same exact thing for Lance Moore: play a year on a tender and then long term. When it came to Galette, the Saints FO took a very calculated risk. Say they handled him the way they did Moore and thomas and he blows up this year. Then you're paying him probably three times what you inked him for. On the other hand, you're giving an unproven guy a deal that would usually be for every down guys. This gives you a pretty good idea in how much they think of him.

This sounds pretty much exactly like what mascona said on the radio today. Like word for word

Travels in Mexico
We had travelled extensively through Mexico in 2011 when we had come up through South and Central America but had spent most of our time on the Baja Peninsula, which we loved. This trip we planned to concentrate our travels on the 'mainland' and visit Mexico City, which we had bypassed previously. But as always things don't always go to plan.
We had left Arizona a few days later than planned and then quickly realised that we weren't going to do the ...
We're in Mexico!!!
... lunch in our hotels rooftop bar with even more super views. Then, the biggest storm you could imagine rolled in, lots of lightning and deafening thunder and so much rain our view disappeared for a bit. So only local exploring today, but lots to do over the next few days. Saw some pretty impressive markets on the way here. Plus we're tired... we really don't do early mornings well ...

Interesting to see plant agave - cactus - produces drink Pulque - tasted a bit like cider, 4-6% alcohol. Plant also produces paper, can use as needle and thread, amazing! And produces juice.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
after my home was burlarized the police did not complete report. It took me several weeks to find the documents on the stolen property. When I did find the serial numbers for the stolen property I made a list and called the officer. He said to give him the info by phone and I read him the numbers. Later I found that the report did not have all the stolen property listed, when I asked the officer to list it he refused and was very rude about it. I did make a complaint but was then told that he did nothing wrong and that if I wanted items listed that I would have to give them the name of my insurance agent or the case would be closed. I feel like I am being vitimized twice.
Perhaps the department is not required to post the serial numbers on their report. My grandma once told me "you get more bees with honey than with vinaigrette," I guess that would apply here as well.Ask a similar question
As upsetting as this is to you, it is not a violation of your civil rights.

Linux4Afrika Integrates Sugar Desktop and WLAN
The Linux4Afrika development help project that is active in a number of east African countries has released the next verson of its software distribution. The donated used hardware will be expanded by new functionality.
The newest version of the Linux4Afrika terminal server solution will no longer require interested parties to buy from One Laptop per Child (OLPC) to test its Sugar learning interface. The GUI can be installed optionally and, after registration, started simply from the dropdown menu.
An extra built-in WLAN card expands the L4A server capability to a WLAN access point so that children with laptops or netbooks can have remote central access in the x2go network computing environment. The card costs about 20 Euros, provides Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) secure encryption and thereby reliable access to the server.
Linux4Afrika also provides numerous add-ons of diverse software packages and their configurations, including the X2gospyglass monitoring tool for teachers and the Squid proxy server. An individual host, such as the school principal's, can also access the x2go.org domain per WLAN.
Hans-Peter Merkel of the FreiOss.net initiative that is behind the project indicates, "The next to-dos are already set: we're working on an update from Lenny to Squeeze and want to make it possible for teachers to blank-screen individual students. Most interesting is the work on chipcard authentication for x2go, which might not so much interest students as larger organizations such as universities."
Linux4Afrika seeks donations and used computers in Europe to equip them with free software and provide African schools with Debian and x2go terminal server solutions. Only days ago a container left Germany for Kenya. More opportunities of bringing the project to schools may open up in Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi and other African countries.

Effective now, and continuing until the end of the fire season, no smoking will be permitted within any of the eighteen national forests in California, except in established camps, at places of habitation and in certain high mountain areas in the Sierra Nevada. This was the order issued by S. B. Show, chief of the California district, United States Forest Service.
The orders further provide that each automobile or pack train party camping in the national forests must be equipped with a shovel and an ax suitable for fire fighting purposes. Shovels must have a blade at least 6 inches wide, either round or square point, and a minimum over-all length of 36 inches.

We all know many animals are in need of a good home. That's why I have made a commitment with the Arizona Humane Society to help these pets find safe homes. Through this partnership, I post pictures and bios of some amazing pets who are in need of a good home. We currently have over 300 cats waiting to be adopted at our shelters. This Saturday and Sunday- ALL CATS ARE $20 TO ADOPT.
Gilda is all kinds of adorable and she loves everyone! The moment you pick the 15-week-old kitten up, she starts purring up a storm and this affectionate dilute torte-colored cat serves as the most excellent cuddle buddy- she even sleeps with you at night. When she isn't nuzzled up close, she likes to play with toys and makes good use of cardboard scrathcing post.
Kitten season is in full swing and hundreds of adoptable cats have ended up at the Arizona Humane Society. Gilda is available at the Sunnyslope Adoption Center and this weekend all cats can be adopted for only $20 (includes their spay/neuter surgery and vaccines). More information at www.azhumane.org or call 602-997x2045 and ask for animal ID number A479551.

Brighton & Hove Albion moved up to third in the Sky Bet Championship table after a 3-0 win over Brentford in a Friday night fixture at the Amex.
First-half strikes from Anthony Knockaert and Tomer Hemed and a goal in the dying moments from Jamie Murphy, were enough for Albion to overcome the Bees and ensure the Seagulls recorded their first win by more than a one goal margin this season.
Chris Hughton named an unchanged side to the one that beat Huddersfield Town almost a fortnight ago, but Casper Ankergren and the returning Steve Sidwell were new inclusions on the bench.
Albion created their first chance within the opening minute when Murphy raced down the right-hand side and found Knockaert, but the Frenchman poked a close-range effort wide.
Alan Judge was next to break forward, but his angled strike for the Bees hit the side-netting.
Man of the match Knockaert then made a superb run from inside his own half, only to see his effort deflected wide.
Judge could have broken the deadlock just moments later but was denied thanks to a strong two-handed save by David Stockdale.
After a relatively quiet spell, the Seagulls came within inches of netting when Bruno met Murphy's cross on the edge of the box and his strike was deflected onto the crossbar by Bees defender Harlee Dean.
But the pressure finally paid off in emphatic fashion on 27 minutes as Knockaert met Murphy's ball, took a touch inside the area, before firing a low strike beyond keeper David Button.
It could have been 2-0 just a minute later after Beram Kayal found compatriot Hemed on the left, but his strike hit the side-netting.
The visitors could have levelled when Josh McEachran's dangerous corner found Lasse Vibe, but the striker could not make a decent connection.
Albion doubled their lead in the 43rd minute after Hemed guided his header superbly beyond Button from a Kayal cross.
Hughton made one change at the break, replacing Bobby Zamora with James Wilson, and he teed up Murphy for a shot, but the winger's attempt was off target.
Murphy was teed up again by Liam Ridgewell only to be intercepted just as he was about to pull the trigger.
The Scot was involved in the thick of the action again just moments later, when an intricate piece of skill set up a pass to Wilson. His cross was then met by Knockaert, who shot over the bar from close range.
Brentford had a chance to gain a foothold in the match after John Swift reacted quickest to a loose ball inside the box, but saw his close-range shot deflected wide.
The Bees rallied late on in a bid to rescue the game, and Stockdale had to be alert to save a deflected drive from Sergi Canos.
Sidwell came on for Kayal to make his second Albion debut but could not direct his shot goalwards from inside the box.
The Seagulls continued to look threatening going forward and Murphy laid the ball on a plate for Knockaert, but the Frenchman could not quite a make a connection with the cross.
Wilson raced through one-on-one with Button in a bid to add a third Albion goal, but a superbly-timed tackle by Yoann Barbet prevented the forward from pulling the trigger.
But there was still time for Murphy to add extra gloss to the scoreline when he was played through in the dying moments and having drew Button, his shot clipped in off the far post to give Albion a convincing victory.
Albion's under-23 coach assesed the challenge ahead for his squad.

Chapter 1 - First few pages. Chapter 4-ExcerptMature
Boyd Lawson looks into his soul from within the soot stained walls of Mexico City's Black Palace prison. He seeks answers through dialogue with his cellmate, an illusion that lives in the shadows of their concrete cell.
The black rose signifies the death of old habits and the old order. Its velvet petals evoke love and sensuality, while the lance of its thorns warn of sacrifice and pain. Within the depths of desperation and pain a new era of hope and joy is born.
Boyd Lawson sat on the edge of the cold steel bunk. A steady draft of frigid air was passing through the barred window high above on the far wall. Temperatures dipped into the forties as the moon rose behind a grey fog of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, dried sewage, smoke and dust. The cold penetrated the marrow of his aching bones.
His cellmate stood silent in the dark corner to one side of the window. No blankets or necessities had been provided by the prison. A living film of grey mold, soot and urine proliferated on the walls and floor of their concrete cell.
Boyd's eyes followed the hand-scrawled lines penetrating the scarred concrete surfaces. The etchings formed crude symbols of madness: skulls, daggers, eyes shedding tears of blood.
He thought of rising to scratch his initials on the wall, but dry heaves begged him to return to a fetal position. He tried to take command of his thoughts, searching his mind for images of life beyond the walls. His focus was impaled by hallucination.
Most people, he thought, would drown in the loneliness and fear that consumed prisoners within the stone walls of the Black Palace. It was a fortress of torture. Loneliness crept into one's soul and multiplied within muscle and flesh like a microbial army of parasites working feverishly to smother hope. For Boyd, loneliness was the price he paid for living life beyond the boundaries of social principles. As for fearing death, why fear the inevitable?
He had concerns. Concerns about his deteriorating health, about his inability to connect with the outside world, about the ease with which he'd been manipulated and deceived.
He struggled to maintain will. The will to accept his condition. Imprisonment had been a reflection of his own character failings, the cost of negligence. He'd thrown his bones and cast his spell. He could beat himself up over it or push forward, nourished by visions of redemption. He chose the latter.
When he'd entered the prison, weeks before falling ill, locked behind the steel door of his cell, memories painted his imagination with a palette of vivid colors, allowing his mind and body to soar freely beyond the prison walls. Weakened by dysentery and days of dehydration, his imagination was becoming a pool of black ink.
He gazed through the shadows of nightfall, a three-quarter moon casting a filtered shaft of yellowish green light upon the floor. His cellmate remained silent in the corner.
"¿Frío, no?" Boyd asked his faceless companion. "Perdóname, que estoy muy enfermo."
The man stepped slowly to the edge of the light entering from the window. He looked as if he'd been plucked from the backstreets of Mexico City: soiled jeans and counterfeit Adidas T-shirt, running shoes tied with string, skin darkened from exposure to the elements. He maintained a look of consternation iced by the hardships of life in a third world.
As inmates without privilege, they'd witnessed daily beatings by brick-wielding prison guards. Prisoners were knocked unconscious for the slightest infraction. The guard's only diversion was vengeance. To avoid the brutality, a prisoner's fear must be tempered with strength, evident without physical provocation or reaction.
Boyd knew he should feel fear pulsing through his veins. But it wasn't fear that he felt—it was a pervasive numbness.
"We got a problem here, compadre," he called out, weakened by the churning in his intestines. He knew the Mexican would ignore him. He was speaking to the walls.
"If we are ever able to get out of here, what's waiting for us?"
His cellmate offered no response.
"Maybe palms whispering songs to blue skies and golden sands?" he asked. "Our lives have changed forever, there's no turning back. We're forced to wipe the blood and urine from the stone corridors of our new home. We're hunted on the streets from where we came. I'm in my thirties and I don't know what it feels like to love a woman."
As a student meandering his way through high school, Boyd had become infatuated with members of the Knights, an unauthorized gang parading around campus as a youth club. Outlaws from social order known for acts of random mayhem, the dregs of its membership were lost souls, exchanging stolen cash and auto parts for alcohol and drugs. Most were simply outcasts tired of middle-class boredom and hypocrisy.
The tightly knit gang was prohibited from flying their colors on school property. Off campus, they wore their jackets with pride and intimidation. Their acceptance of Boyd as a non-facto member fueled blood cells numbed by a life of unwilling conformance.
Boyd's family and cast of conservative friends saw him as a university candidate with a future in engineering. He made no effort to disillusion them. He kept his relationships with the unsavory to himself. He also kept a jar of pomade, a lead wrist pin, steel-toed boots and a change of clothes in his locker. A wannabe bad boy, looking for a way to break out of middle class vanity.
"Be careful what you say and who you speak with, gringo."
The words, dampened by the thick cell walls, startled Boyd. He turned to his cellmate, who withdrew into shadow. He felt a wave of dry heaves beginning their satanic dance.
"You speak good English, my friend. Estados Unidos?
"Listen to me, white boy. We are not alone. Someone is always watching over us; everything that happens to us is for a reason. Dios es el alma del universo, el latido del corazon humano, la sangre del demoño."
"God is the soul of the universe, the heartbeat of mankind, the blood of the Devil."
"You understand. Then listen, before you grow weaker from the poison swimming in your gut. Everything is connected, everything is one."
The figure moved slightly to allow the pale moonlight to light his face. Boyd studied the furrowed skin and cautious eyes. A scar trailed from one ear to the corner of his mouth. He was staring at a soul many years older than his biological age, assuming the cellmate existed at all.
"You're right. We are all one, but it's the guards that are watching over us and that steel door and stone walls that bind us."
Boyd's thoughts skipped like a pebble cast over the waters of his past. The stolen car. The missing cash. The beating by the two men at the border. Adriana's abduction and mysterious role in his fate.
CHAPTER 4 Excerpt
Returning again to Southern California, Boyd rented a small apartment and learned that Cooper was looking for him.
As he made his way down the winding, dusty dirt road, swerving to avoid sunbathing tarantulas, rattlers and rogue scrub oak branches, he caught a glimpse of a clearing in the dry brush at the bottom of the hill. He laughed at the desolation in which Cooper had burrowed himself and wondered if he'd gone mad.
Boyd brought his Ford sedan to a stop in front of the first house. A cloud of dust rose from beneath his floorboard and greeted him as he climbed out. The only sounds emanating from the ranch were the cries of hawks and the rustling of lizards in the brush. The sun baked the loose rock and cracked clay beneath his feet. The air smelled of sage.
Cooper was standing on the weathered wooden porch with his arms crossed. He was draped in a Captain America cape, his eyes concealed behind a pair of welder's goggles. His cracked lips parted, revealing a sly smile.
"It's about time you showed up! You've been gone three fucking months. Where's your turban, and where's my five grand?"
"What the hell are you doing out here? It must be a hundred and ten degrees."
"I've been trying to get a hold of you. We need to get to work."
"Is this how you greet an old friend? The heat's gone to your head, Coop."
"They're sniffing starting fluid. The grass they're smoking is made from dried sumac leaves. The Indians call it kinnickinnick or something like that."
"Back up a minute. And take those goggles off." Boyd walked up the steps to greet his friend. Cooper stepped forward with outstretched arms. The two men embraced and laughed.
"Who's sniffing starting fluid?" Boyd asked.
"Your buddies up there in Canada." Cooper was beaming with pride at his irreverent knowledge of the Canadian condition. He removed the welding glasses.
"We've got a chance to make history," he continued.
"Coop, I'm not looking to make history. You're standing here in a cape, surrounded by snakes and lizards. The last person I saw was ten miles down the road. What the hell is this all about?"
"Exactly. Anyone wandering this far back in the hills is either lost or out of their mind."
Boyd extracted $5,000 dollars from his pocket and slapped it in his friend's palm.
"Sorry it took so long …"
"Your trip to Kyrgyzstan, or wherever the hell it was, everything went okay?"
"I'm standing in front of you. What's the lowdown on this place?"
"Beautiful, ain't it? What we got here is more pot than I know what to do with, and a whole country to the north of us dying to get their hands on it."
"You're out here all by yourself?"
"I've got a couple shotguns."
Boyd allowed his gaze to drift to the hillside beyond the house, looking briefly for any sign of approaching vehicles.
"You get many visitors?" He was being diligent. If Cooper was stashing away a quantity of pot, the only escape would be up the face of the mountain. Boyd dusted himself off.
"Don't go paranoid on me," Cooper warned. "Nobody visits this place except Scooter and his brother, and they only stay long enough to help me unload the trucks. Let's take a walk."
Cooper let the cape drop to the floorboards. Boyd followed him to the second house. He stopped dead in his tracks at the open door. The sun-bleached two-bedroom house was filled, floor to ceiling, with double-wrapped cellophane kilos of fresh pot. Living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, hallway, bathroom.
"What the hell are you going to do with all this?"
Cooper laughed. "You idiot. What are you going to do with all this? Why do you think I've been hunting you down?"
"I don't get it … I can't move this much weed."
"You lived in Canada for a couple years. You unloaded your hash with no problem."
"Listen, I lived in the Canadian bush with a swamp rat from Tennessee. I sold the hash to a guy that gave me a ride on the ferry form Vancouver Island and put me up for a couple nights. Don't give me more credit than I deserve. I'm not in any position to set up something this big."
"A pound, a half ton, what's the difference? You think bigger and get smarter. Use your head, Boyd; when has anyone ever offered us an opportunity like this?"
Boyd entered the living room and took a seat on a short stack of kilos.
"Why not use your local contacts? All I want is enough cash to travel to South America."
"How much pot do you think you could move?" Cooper motioned to the overstocked room and shot his friend a look of loathing. "Never mind wintering in South America, I'm offering you the chance to make enough to retire. You can hike from one end of the planet to the other when we're done. Hell, maybe I'll go with you."
"You didn't answer my question."
"I've already saturated the local market. The people I know here all go crazy when they get a few grand in their pockets."
"You remember hitting me in the face with a ring the size of a doorknob?" Cooper asked.
"What's that got to do with anything? I hit you because you refused to leave your square."
"It was foursquare, Boyd. We were twelve years old."
"You were out."
"You're the only friend I know that doesn't need someone looking over his shoulder. I respected you for standing up for yourself. I was out."
"I should punch you in the face again, maybe you'll come to your senses. Have you thought about moving this much pot over a couple thousand miles of highway and across an international border?"
"You ever look in the trunk of a Lincoln Continental? It's like a damn warehouse. Buy two or three of them. Use fucking trains. I've got a friend with a private plane if you need it…the shit is coming out of my ears. It's starting to freak me out. I made a commitment."
"When did you become so interested in money?"
"Don't go stupid on me. It's not the money. It's my fucking honor. I said I'd do this, and I'm going to do it. When can you start? I'll give you kilos at one hundred and twenty bucks each. Move them at any price you want. Pay me when you get back."
"God damn it, you're serious, aren't you?" Boyd started thinking about the risks. "How often would we do this?"
"Head up north. Make the arrangements. Sell the pot, get back with the cash, take a day to rest, then turn around and do the same fucking thing all over again. We got a house to empty and more is on the way."
"I told you, I don't know anyone that could handle bulk."
"You'll find somebody. I know you."
"And then what? Carry trunks filled with cash back into the U.S.?"
"I didn't just start thinking about this yesterday. All we gotta do is fill in the blanks."
The two of them headed back and took a seat on the porch of the main house.
"You see anybody lately?" Boyd asked.
"Everybody we know that I can trust has been working for me. I see them for a few minutes. Most of them don't know anything about this place."
"How about Nate?"
"I've seen him. You remember his mom, right?"
"I remember his dad. He worked at Chino prison. He used to chase Nate around the house with a machete. Wait, Nate's working for you?"
"Hell, no. Listen to me. His mom went to some psychic, the same one that works for the stars. She told her she'd meet this guy, go out on a boat and drown at sea."
"And, she's dead. And it wasn't from a machete. She died in the Pacific off Catalina Island. She fell off a boat owned by some insurance broker. The police said it was accidental. Get this—the psychic also said that Nate would die in a motorcycle accident. He's scared shitless to ride his Triumph."
"What about Hagel?"
"He got out of Special Forces and did time in Argentina as a sniper. He's back now, living out of his car. He snapped. He shot a hobo off a train. Spends his time writing notes and sticking them on people's windows."
Boyd mused over the brittleness of life, the layer of veneer that separates sanity from insanity.
"When we dropped acid," Cooper remarked, "we thought we'd discovered the meaning of life. Whether it was a crock of shit or not, there was no turning back. Did you ever consider that we'd been dealt a royal flush? Compare our lives to Nate's or Hagel's. We won the karma-lotto, Boyd. Two guys, crazy as a couple of coons, with nothing but opportunity on our plates. Why? Who the hell knows what any of it means, but it's happening for a reason."
"Even if I said yes, the guy I know in Vancouver couldn't manage anything this big."
"But he might know someone that can."
"I'll start with fifty kilos and stash them in Washington until I can put something together."
"Two hundred," Cooper countered.
"Fuck it, two hundred. I'll need cash for motels and vehicles and buying off drivers and whatever other shit comes along. Give me back the five G."
Cooper smiled, led Boyd out to an abandoned car at the side of the house, reached under the front seat and removed a crinkled paper sack packed with bundles of large bills, which he tossed into Boyd's arms.
"What are you waiting for?"
"I just got here."
"I got another truck to pick up from Armando. I don't have time to fart around."
"This Armando … what do you know about him? Do you talk?"
"I like him. He trusts me. I'll take you to his car dealership in L.A. sometime. Don't ask any more questions."

Thank you so very much dearest Dorthe for sharing this gift to you. The vintage image on the card is such a favourite of the little praying on her bed before going to sleep!
Such a joy for me knowing how much you love all the lace pieces which I know you will happily enjoy using in your creations.
May your Christmas with Henning and your family be filled with peace and joy (and a little rest too!) and that we enter the New Year full of new hope and much more peace than our previous year where you will feel totally inspired to create art from your heart!
Much love and many warm hugs,

Loving You in a Star
"Oh, look! One more! Nezumi! Did you see that one?"
"Yes, yes I did. Are you gonna do this every single time?"
"Oh come on, Nezumi! How often can we watch a meteor shower like this? Just look! It's so beautiful."
Nezumi CAN see the stars but he prefers the reflection in Shion's eyes, rather than staring up at the night sky. They are on the balcony of their bedroom, Nezumi sitting on the stone floor with legs stretched ahead and his thighs serving as pillow for Shion's head on his lap. Nezumi stares into his eyes and watches another stray meteorite shoot across the sky drawing a glowing trail behind. A lock of Shion's hair falls from its bind at the back of his head and Nezumi catches it before the white moonlit tips touch the floor. His fingers dance around the soft lock and tangle themselves around it with a habitual ease.
Shion gazes up into his eyes and smiles at him before his eyes of deep wine widen at the sight of another burning arch made by an impressively big meteorite. Nezumi follows his gaze and sees the last fading traces of the trail it leaves behind.
"All men have the stars," he softly murmurs into the summer night,
"But they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You– you alone– will have the stars as no one else has them–"
Shion's gaze finds his again as he recites. Nezumi leans forward and softly presses his lips against his forehead before he continues,
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night… you– only you– will have stars that can laugh! "
Shion has that same look on his face Nezumi has seen many times before. He has seen it the first night they met, the day he had helped him escape, the day they had first danced in the restricted space of his underground hideout in the middle of thousands of books… it's the same look he had given him when he had heard Nezumi sing for the first time, or recite from classics or when he had tasted his Macbeth soup…
It's the look of someone falling in love… and Shion falls in love with him every day. More than once.
"That… that was so beautiful," Shion breathes out lowly. "Where is it from? I don't think I've read that book."
"The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry," Nezumi replies. "It tells the story of an airheaded dreamy guy and a… hmmm… let's say a wanderer for the lack of another word and how they meet by chance."
"That sounds familiar." Shion smiles.
"Doesn't it, My Prince?" Nezumi returns the smile then looks up at the sky. He can feel Shion's gaze prickling across his skin. He doesn't know why he is watching him, rather than the night sky brimming with the glowing trails of dozens of shooting stars, but Nezumi knows how steady and patient Shion's gaze can be… Especially when he is in the process of falling in love…
"I wrote you a letter once."
Nezumi hears the words leave his lips before he can stop them. What's the point in saying this now? Confessing having written a letter he has never sent? When Shion had never even gotten it…
"I was in No.5." he continues slowly.
"It was my first night there, I had no place to spend the night and I was just sitting at the bay and watching the sea trying to decide what do to."
Nezumi looks down to see his steady gaze. Shion waits. He knows Nezumi isn't finished yet. He doesn't ask questions, he doesn't press on. He just waits.
He knows Nezumi will continue.
"I saw a single shooting star. It was almost as big as the one that you just saw. I remembered those lines from The Little Prince… I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote them down for you because I really wanted you to hear them."
Nezumi's fingers weave into Shion's hair. His brilliant crimson eyes confine the night sky with occasional falling stars. Nezumi can't take his eyes off of him.
"I wrote it… but I never sent it to you. I carried that letter in my pocket for months until one day; I just let the wind snatch it away from my fingers."
He leans in again; his forehead rests against Shion's as they stare into each other's eyes.
"I wanted you to hear it from me. Not read it on a piece of paper… And… I think…"
Nezumi's hair falls around Shion's face like a veil. They share the air between their parted lips. Their gaze is sealed with such intensity Nezumi feels naked, exposed to the very core of his being…
"I think that was the first time… I wanted to come back."
Shion raises a hand and cups the side of his face. Nezumi sees his own reflection in his eyes and wonders if that's how he always sees him… The understanding in his expression is almost unbearable and it is always like this. Shion looks at him and sees the deepest, ugliest, the most damaged parts of his black, black heart and he doesn't look away in repulsion. In his eyes, Nezumi can almost accept himself… he can almost… love the man Shion is in love with.
His lips taste sweet because of the scones they had not long ago. Nezumi relishes it as he slips a tongue between his parted lips and feels Shion's hands wrap around his neck. They kiss slowly, with tidal rises and falls, with the sheer momentum of their feelings. Shion's warm tongue melts inside his mouth and it warns all of his senses. Their hands merge, fingers entwining as if demonstrating a more intimate union that will take place later that night as it has many times before.
Behind closed eyelids, Nezumi remembers the scene of the moonlit bay in No.5. How his eyes had followed the stray meteorite that had been helplessly pulled in with the unyielding gravity of Earth, as it burned brightly into tiny bits of particles against the silky night sky. How for a split second… before his mind could even register and mock him… his heart had whispered a wish and he had heard it spill through his lips and dissolve into the steady sound of the crashing waves…
"I wish for another miracle."
And how another verse from The Little Prince had risen in his mind… a verse he didn't repeat again to Shion. A verse for only himself. And for the falling star that heard his wish.
"It is just as it is with the flower. If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are abloom with flowers . . ."
The End
This ficlet is dedicated to Jackie (Drenched-Rat / Contendaz on Tumblr). She is a precious friend that needs all the love in the world,
one that deserves more than she is given, more than she has ever dreamed of having. This is for a beautiful heart that inspires me everyday, for I wish the stars in her eyes to flare for all eternity making the dazzling light of the brightest of suns look dim.
Smile Jackie... A world with thoughts, ideas, dreams that give life to characters like Nezumi and Shion, is a world worth living every second. This is for you baby.
