Author's Note: This is my first Episode Tag, it went a bit off the wall at the end, but other than that … also I tried to upload this Fri and Fanfic kept crashing so I had to wait until today, that irked me.
Disclaimer: I own the dance floor that is all...
D.A. Oscar Ardiles left Jane and the hordes of reporters, to the swam the now free Eve. He had something else far more important to do, with his evening. He owed a smart and sassy woman a big apology. He wasn't a proud man, he would ask for forgiveness.
No time like the present either, as her wayward consultant was otherwise distracted, basking in his being right. He shifted the brown bag in his arms and searched for his car keys.
The ride to her office was mostly silent. While the energy of the courtroom, the buzz of unknown possibilities, the adrenaline of always being ready to argue, to fight, drew him to this job, it was also exhausting. The time he spent in his car, just him and the lone night was his respite from his hectic days.
His mind inevitably drew back to Lisbon, it was the similarities between her and his job that had originally intrigued him about her. She was feisty and impulsive, he really had no idea just how she would react to anything, well except arguments about Jane. In his case she was a better defence attorney than most.
Honestly it excited him somewhat, her penchant for anger and arguments, it really was a shame she was spoken for, according to local gossip, not to mention what he had seen with his own eyes.
He flashed his credentials at the night watchman and walked through the lobby. He wasn't even sure she would be there, but his mother told him to never go to sleep, angry or at fault. He moved the bag again so he could press the call button for the lift, it was heavier than it looked and he would be glad to be rid of it.
He waited several minutes, the elevator button had been pressed numerous times and still nothing. Oscar let out an irritated sigh, it seemed to be stuck at parking level for some reason. The stairs it was so, he decided. He took two at a time easily, Oscar was a regular at his local YMCA and proud of it.
He entered the bull pen to find the floor mostly dark, bar the small glass room that held Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon. He could see where some light was seeping through blinds, that were mostly closed as he approached. He was surprisingly nervous, but knew he had to bite the bullet regardless, he had to work with her after all.
He knocked lightly and entered. Lisbon looked up in surprise at his presence. She was no doubt still angry at the way he had insulted her and her abilities earlier.
"I'm sorry to interrupt." He began.
"It's ok, please take a seat", she gestured to the seat in front of her desk, her eyes watched him intensively.
She was a beautiful woman, her eyes were astounding. He hated that he was often distracted by her when they interacted. It was something that didn't occur often.
"So, I came to apologise and give you this", he passed over the brown bag, it sounded with a heavy clunk when it landed on the table.
"Wow an apology and a present, I usually get neither and from a D.A., ... has hell frozen?" Lisbon mocked, deliberately not opening the bag.
"I very much deserve your anger Teresa, I spoke out of line and took my frustrations out on you, rather than the P.D. who deserved it. They hadn't done their jobs, not you, so again I apologise." Oscar answered honestly. Teresa looked taken aback.
"Yes it's not often I'm told I'm a bad leader for wanting the guilty party to go to jail instead of an innocent person" Teresa stated sarcastically.
"I'm guessing your not used to being told your wrong full stop." Oscar joked, hoping to lighten her mood and her wrath.
"That's very true, though usually when I am told it it always seems to come from lawyers." Lisbon smiled, accepting his gesture and pulled the bag towards her. She knew there was no point holding a grudge, she had learned that from Jane.
There was two bottles of wine in the bag. Pulling out a bottle of Red, she saw it was her favourite from Eve's vineyard, how did he know?
"Before you go thinking I'm psychic, Eve gave it to me for you as a thank you, I'm just a delivery boy." Oscar told her.
"She brought wine with her to a court case? I like her more and more" Lisbon laughed.
"No she had her sister bring it to the courthouse after, they were all going out for a celebratory dinner." He explained.
"Less fun than my assumption but still, never look a gift horse..." Lisbon shrugged, trailing off.
"So did you get much grief from your boss over the case?" She wondered out loud, having been there many times herself.
"No, thankfully catching the real killer, and avoiding a large payout for wrongful conviction got me a simple, light telling off, can't say the same for the cops though." Oscar was not impressed with them at all.
"I know how you feel." Lisbon sympathised.
"Well again, I'm sorry, to have further added to that, and I'm grateful you have been so understanding." Oscar said, rising up to leave.
"Thank you for the apology, though you could have waited till morning."
"Not really, I wanted to grab a late night dinner and I can't enjoy my food if my minds elsewhere, I would invite you, but no doubt you are waiting on Jane and he might misinterpret the invite. Nobody wants an angry Jane against them." Ardiles made a face at the idea of the possible paybacks.
"Why would I be waiting on Jane, and what would he care where I go, or who with?" Lisbon scrunched up her face in confusion.
"I've been told about you two, you know being..." Oscar informed her.
"No I don't know. Jane and I are colleagues. what exactly have you been so wrongly informed about." Lisbon questioned angrily.
"I get you're not allowed to... say something... it's okay." Oscar tried to calm her down
"Seriously Ardiles we aren't." Lisbon was furious, she thought the weird obsession people had about her and Jane, was just in this office.
"Really?", he watched her for any dishonesty, seeing none he pressed on, "Well then would you like to join me? As friends of course." or not if you want more, he added silently to himself.
Lisbon thought for a moment. She had a long day and was hungry, all she had had was half a sandwitch. Plus Jane had run off on her again.
"I would" Lisbon smiled, "and I know a great Mongolian barbecue that we could go to... and you can pay as a further apology. Not only have questioned my leadership abilities, but now my taste in men." She jested.
"My pleasure." Oscar looking at Lisbon as she stashed her wine in the bottom drawer and grabbed her things. This day just picked up.
Jane was nearly out of breath as he finally got upstairs. The elevator hadn't responded for ages, so he decided to climb the stairs, a mistake judging by how out of breath he was, a bigger mistake when he heard the elevator arrive after he had already halfway ascended. Just his luck.
He was very happy with the overall outcome of the day. He had saved an innocent woman from jail, he figured he had tipped the scale back. He, a guilty man was let go, so by getting an innocent woman off, he had balanced justice again. Perfect way to make inroads with his Lisbon and perhaps get her smile back.
He could see her light on, good she was still here. Jane went and grabbed a glass of water, he really had to start exercising. He walked out, noticing Lisbon's light was now off. He moved quickly to the elevator hoping to catch her up and make her stay for tea.
He heard laughing as he approached. Turning the corner, he saw Ardiles and Lisbon chatting in front of the closed doors, waiting as the metal box ascended. He could hear Ardiles discussing the Mongolian restaurant they were going to, adding an anecdote about the last time he ate a barbecue.
Jane felt irrational anger, watching Ardiles guide Lisbon through the doors, he saw her smile up at him as the doors closed. His stomach churned, his plans for the evening evaporated in an instant.
How dare that man, how dare he, it was his job to make her smile, his job to guide her, protect her, even feed her. He was going to pay, by God no man touched what was his.
Jane would have to amp up the rumours, he had spread about him and Lisbon, clearly they were insufficient. He knew right now he wasn't right for her, couldn't giver her what she wanted, needed, deserved even.
He knew this but he wasn't lying when he said to Timothy Carter that he would marry when Red John was dead. He knew where, what ring, how many guests and most certainly with whom. This didn't work not at all, he had a plan and no man was getting in the way of that.

Bladder problems can cause depression in heart failure patients
Individuals who have experienced heart failure are generally placed under a lot of stress. Such individuals are expected to bring about changes in their lifestyle and diet patterns to a significant extent. They are also advised to lead a depression free life in order to reduce the risk of recurrence of heart failure as it may be fatal. However, several factors have been noted to increase the risk of depression in heart failure patients which tends to decrease the quality of life and increase the risk of death from subsequent attacks.
A study conducted in North Carolina noted that bladder problems in patients with heart failure significantly increase the depression rates in such patients. It was also noted that bladder problems were associated with evidence of late stage heart failures, increased fatigue and higher body mass index scores in patients with heart failure. Thereby it is proposed that taking steps to control bladder problems can result in a significant decrease in the depression rates in heart failure patients.

text: This is true if you consider Houston to encompass much more than it really is. Stay inside the loop, particular the northwestern portion of the loop and it's a beautiful city with ridiculous amounts of restaurants and entertainment options. If you feel the need to go out into the hinterlands, it's bland, annoying, and in many places, dirty. That's true of any city, however. The problem is that the people in those places still identify themselves as "from Houston." Whereas, in other cities they don't tend to keep an identification with the city in the same way. In short, what you may consider Houston isn't really Houston.

Target: Allison M. Macfarlane, Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Goal: Fine Halliburton for inappropriate handling of radioactive materials
Halliburton is one of the most notorious and powerful corporations in the United States and the largest oilfield contractor in the world. With their myriad military and energy contracts the company is worth billions. Recently, Halliburton lost a crucial piece of natural gas drilling equipment; a radioactive rod used in locating potential fracking wells. After a month long search the rod has been found, yet it does not appear that the Nuclear Regulatory Committee will be levying any kind of punishment on Halliburton for this egregious oversight.
The seven-inch rod, made of an americium-beryllium alloy, is classified as a "category three" radiation source, meaning that exposure to or handling of the object could be fatal if it is for a prolonged period of time. The device fell off the back of a truck traveling down a Texas highway between drilling sites.
It is absurd that something that is potentially deadly could be handled so carelessly. The fact that it was lost off the back of a truck suggests that whoever packed it in merely tossed it there, taking absolutely no effort to safely pack, or even label the rod.
This is a glaring oversight on Halliburton's part and an inexcusable threat to public safety; Halliburton absolutely must be fined. The NRC must fulfill its duty and actually regulate. The only way that companies such as Halliburton will begin taking more care is if they are heavily fined for their transgressions and have such ludicrous mistakes revealed to the public.
Halliburton put lives at risk when they allowed radioactive materials to get lost. When an individual puts others lives at risk, even if by accident, they are reprimanded; the same should hold true for Halliburton. Do not let Halliburton's disregard for public safety go unnoticed—sign the petition and tell the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to fine Halliburton.
Dear Chairman Macfarlane,
Recently the oilfield contractor Halliburton lost a small rod along a stretch of highway in Texas. While the seven-inch rod, which is used in detecting natural gas reserves, appears to just be a piece of metal, in actuality it is highly radioactive and potentially deadly. The radioactive rod sat on the side of the road for a month before it was recovered, posing a formidable threat all the while. It is absolutely necessary that Halliburton be appropriately fined for their carelessness involving this item.
The rod, an alloy of americium and beryllium, is categorized as a "category three" piece of radioactive material. This means that the item can prove deadly, and should be closely monitored and cared for. Yet it would seem that the rod was just tossed carelessly in the back of a truck and during some point of its journey was thrown to the roadside. Someone at Halliburton was in gross dereliction of his or her responsibilities if a piece of radioactive material was treated in such a reckless manner.
The fact is simple: Halliburton put the public at risk when they decided not to treat a piece of radioactive equipment with the respect it deserved; because of this they deserve a hefty fine. It is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's responsibility to intervene on the behalf of the American public in cases such as this one. Unless the NRC shows its power now, companies like Halliburton will continue to act carelessly. Halliburton endangered the public, and for that they must be punished.

United States Post Office - Quahog, Rhode Island branch is where Lois finds employment with the aid of Cleveland Brown in "Take a Letter".
While at the post office to mail in Stewie's application to Corridors, an exclusive preschool, she finds that Cleveland has a job with them and takes his suggestion to come work for them when she admits they need the money to help with paying for the preschool. On her first day, Cleveland shows her around and provides tips on snooping through the mail. When Mayor Adam West drops off an undeliverable letter, she offers to sort though the dead letter bin and see if she can properly match the correct address on some. While doing this, she finds a letter from Peter to a woman dated just a week before their wedding.
She delivers it personally and meets Gretchen, where she finds out that she is his former girlfriend and is told that Peter was simply happy to be getting married. Gretchen shows up at the Griffin home and reveals that the letter really said that Peter had doubts about his impending marriage and she pressures him to start their relationship again at the risk of her informing Lois of the letter's true content.
While they are out for coffee, Peter tries to explain that he really loves Lois and Gretchen seems to accept this with the condition of a final concert date. Peter continues to feel guilty, and when he leaves, Gretchen's mood changes. At the post office, Lois hears noises but dismisses them. Gretchen texts Peter about solving their problem. Meg interprets this for Peter, informing him that Gretchen is a spurned girlfriend psycho, and he rushes in to the post office as Gretchen pulls a gun on Lois. She reads the letter at Gretchen's insistence and he explains about being scared of disappointing her and of her family who hated him. However, Lois is still angry and seems to give up, but when she steps away, Gretchen starts to move toward Peter and Lois decks her, explaining that she faked being angry with Peter to get Gretchen to drop her guard. Lois admits that she was scared about their wedding too, but she loves Peter as well and is happy about their lives. To show their appreciation for each other, they try to make love on opposite sides of a letter box, but Peter's penis gets stuck. In the end, Lois gets fired for Peter's antics and for her decking Gretchen.

A former member of Everton's Youth Academy at the same time as Wayne Rooney may hold the key to England's hopes of creating history by beating Australia in Sunday's Four Nations match at AAMI Park.
Matty Smith, who made his debut in the England No.7 jersey during last weekend's 32-26 defeat of Samoa, only began playing rugby league at 16 after being cut by the English Premier League club and has now won a Super League premiership and Challenge Cup final with Wigan.
He also played and trained at Goodison Park with the likes of Victor Anichebe, the Nigerian striker who plays for West Bromwich Albion, and Huddersfield Town's James Vaughan.
Now 27, Smith had initially been contracted to Wigan before joining Everton as a 12-year-old striker.
"Rooney was a year older than me but we used to train together on a Saturday morning – our age-group against theirs," Smith said in an interview with The Express.
"I played up front with him a good few times and we scored a lot of goals together. He was an outstanding player even then and he has gone to do great things. It wasn't to be for me at Everton and I got released when I was 15.
"It's obviously tough to make it in football and I think they only kept on seven lads out of about 25."
After being cut, Smith turned to rugby league and has had stints with St Helens and Salford before joining Wigan in 2012.
He was named in the 2014 Super League Dream Team and made an impressive Test debut last Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium to finish with three try assists.
It was the first time he had played with St George Illawarra five-eighth Gareth Widdop and England coach Steve McNamara has the roomed the pair together in a bid to quickly cement their combination.
"Matt has a good kicking game and is more of a controlling half than Gareth," Kangaroos halfback Cooper Cronk said. "He is the guy who does a lot of their set-up plays and set up tries.
"They are a formidable halves combination and they will do what they need to do we will do what we need to do. The game is going to be quite physical. It is going to be the big boppers through the middle of the field, hopefully some expansive play and some good tries scored on the edge."
England have also been bolstered by the return from rugby union of back-rower Joel Tomkins, who played three Tests in the rival code.
Tomkins is the older brother of Warriors fullback Sam Tomkins and the pair scored second-half tries in Brisbane last weekend to help England overcome a formidable Samoa side.
Both teams trained at AAMI Park on Saturday and Cronk confirmed Daly Cherry-Evans would play after overcoming a hip injury that forced him from the field in the first half of last Saturday night's loss.
England captain Sean O'Loughlin has also been passed fit to make his first appearance in the tournament after sustaining a quadriceps injury in the Super League grand final.

NEW YORK – Karl Marx famously wrote that history repeats itself, "the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce." Yet when we look around nowadays, we can't help but wonder whether tragedy will be followed by yet more tragedy. Here we are, at the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, and we find ourselves surrounded by cascading violence, duplicity, and cynicism of the very sort that brought the world to disaster in 1914. And the world regions involved then are involved again.
WWI began with a mindset, one based on the belief that military means could resolve pressing social and political issues in Central Europe. A century earlier, the German military theorist Carl von Clausewitz had written that war is "a continuation of political intercourse carried on with other means." Enough politicians in 1914 agreed.
Yet WWI proved Clausewitz tragically wrong for modern times. War in the industrial age is tragedy, disaster, and devastation; it solves no political problems. War is a continuation not of politics, but of political failure.
WWI ended four imperial regimes: the Prussian (Hohenzollern) dynasty, the Russian (Romanov) dynasty, the Turkish (Ottoman) dynasty, and the Austro-Hungarian (Habsburg) dynasty. The war not only caused millions of deaths; it also left a legacy of revolution, state bankruptcy, protectionism, and financial collapse that set the stage for Hitler's rise, World War II, and the Cold War.

Overall, painless experience. Second time renting from them, this time it was 2 mini vans. Everything was fine, except this one worker is having a bad day everytime we are there. Either that, or one of her coworkers smells bad. She couldn't be any more disdainful bordering on rude if she tried. Everyone else was great! Vans were perfect, and we will rent again I'm sure.

Epson ignites printer price war
70 per cent ink price cut shakes industry
2007Drastic regional price cuts from printer giant Epson could rock the
printer industry, market observers have predicted. The Japanese printer
maker has begun selling ink in China at nearly one third the price it
charges in Europe and the US.The move has raised fears of a printer
price war that could spread worldwide, potentially saving millions for
consumers but hurting manufacturers' profits.Vnunet.com's analysis of
data from Epson shows that buyers of the company's cheapest entry-level
printer in China can now expect to spend as little as $0.016 on ink for
each page they print.US and European buyers of similar products are
still paying up to three times as much.
"The industry could be
facing something it has quietly dreaded for years: a consumables
pricing war that melts the 'razor-and-blades' model and incinerates the
industry's rich profit margins," said Jiqiang Rong, director of primary
research at US-based Lyra Research. The Japanese headquarters of Seiko
Epson Corp has not responded to vnunet.com's request for comment on
plans to introduce similarly low prices outside China."If this strategy
sells printers, competitors will have no choice but to respond in kind,
and not just in China," said Rong.In common with other printer makers,
such as HP and Canon, Epson makes most of its profit from sales of
consumables like ink and toner.Under this so-called 'razors and blades'
business model, the printers may be sold at a loss which is recouped
through high consumables pricing.Lyra Research predicts that a fall in
consumables profits would ultimately force manufacturers to raise
printer prices.These high profit margins have encouraged other
companies to make copycat cartridges which are compatible with Epson's
printers, but which are cheaper than the official consumables.Epson has
pursued legal action against numerous imitators, with some
success.Epson China has explained its new ultra-low pricing as a way to
fight cheap third-party ink cartridges and counterfeit cartridges. The
company claims that these cheaper consumables produce poor results,
fade over time and can damage printers.Lyra Research sees the move as
an attempt to make inroads into China's highly price-conscious
consumers as fast as possible.
A new threat looms in the shape of
local PC maker Lenovo which is hoping to get into the printer
manufacturing industry, possibly with government backing.
in China, Epson has not applied price cuts across the board. The most
cut-throat pricing applies to the Epson ME range of printers, some of
which appear to be available only in China.For example, the $64 Epson
ME1+, a 2880dpi inkjet printer with a claimed printing speed of 12
pages per minute, appears to be one of the world's cheapest inkjets in
terms of running costs.Black ink cartridges have a recommended retail
price of 45 Chinese yuan ($5.50), and colour cartridges sell for 72
yuan ($9).Epson China claims that the $5.50 black cartridge holds
enough ink to print 330 pages. This indicates an average printing cost
as low as 1.6 cents per page for black and white printing.The ME1+ does
not appear to be available outside China. A comparable entry-level
Epson printer sold in the US, the Epson Stylus C88+, costs almost the
same to buy, but appears to be three times more expensive to
run.According to Epson, the C88′s black ink cartridges cost $19 and but
only hold enough ink to produce about 400 pages of text, indicating an
average cost of at least 4.75 cents per page.Colour printing costs are
higher for both printers, as colour ink prices are higher and colour
printing typically uses more ink.Epson's cut-price Chinese ink
cartridges appear to provide similar performance to products selling
for two or three times more in the US and Europe.While this appears to
offer an opportunity for grey market importers to buy printers and
compatible cartridges in China and resell them overseas, there are so
far no reports of this occurring.

Christina Aguilera Celebrates Max's Birthday at Dinseyland
To help celebrate his 3rd birthday, Christina Aguilera took her son Max to the happiest place on earth — Disneyland!
Christina took her little man to hang with Mickey, Minnie and the rest of the Disney gang on Tuesday, for a little early birthday fun (his birthday is on the 12th).
Nice to see even though she's been working hard, she can take the time out to spend some quality time with her son. Wonder what is Max's favorite ride?
Christina's film Burlesque is up for three Golden Globes this weekend. Do you hope it wins? Hit up the comments and let us know!

Georgetown College men's basketball team did something it has not done in more than a decade - loss back-to-back home conference games. The No. 3 Tigers (7-3, 1-3 Mid-South Conference) battled Campbellsville University (7-2, 3-2) to the bitter end, but came up short 70-65.
Both teams struggled early with CU holding a 26-21 edge at the break. GC put together a 5-0 run to start the final 20 minutes, but that's when Campbellsville exploded for the decisive 21-9 run.
Allan Thomas helped GC go on a 12-5 run, scoring 10 of the 12 and cutting the deficit to one possession, 64-61.
Vic Moses and Allen combined for a 4-0 burst that had the Tigers down one, but GC did not score again as Campbellsville's own 4-0 run ended the game.
Monty Wilson and Allan Thomas led Georgetown with 14 each, while Vic Moses had 11 and Garel Craig 10.
Georgetown returns to action 7 pm Monday against Knoxville College.
NOTES: GC's women lost as well, making it the first time in more than a decade that both men and women lost at home on the same night.

Day 157
Day 1
Peeta is back. Peeta is home.
The sound of the shovel stirs her from sleep, but it's his return that awakens her.
Day 2
He brings freshly baked bread for breakfast, and they sit in silence as Greasy Sae serves them bacon and eggs.
Day 5
He brings freshly baked bread for breakfast, and they sit in silence as Greasy Sae serves them bacon and eggs.
Day 12
He brings freshly baked bread for breakfast, and they sit in silence as Greasy Sae serves them bacon and eggs.
Day 18
He brings freshly baked bread for breakfast, and they sit in silence.
Buttercup mews from under the table. "Where's Sae?" she asks when she finally realizes that she has no bacon for the cat.
He looks up at her like he's just realizing where he is. "I think she said she'd be late today. I don't know why."
The bread grows cold.
Day 34
"Have you talked to Dr. Aurelius yet?" Peeta asks. They're sitting outside, enjoying the warmth. Spring has officially arrived.
She stares down at her hands. They are peppered with tiny cuts from yesterday's hunt. Open wounds on top of scars.
"No. I'll call him today."
Day 39
It really does help.
Day 49
The parchment sheets arrive from the Capitol, and Katniss begins immediately. She writes with great care, her precision betraying her eagerness. It starts with Prim. It has to start with Prim.
It's as if Peeta reached into her mind and plucked the image from her head. Prim and Lady. It's perfect.
He wipes away her tears.
Day 67
It's a bad time for Haymitch. Another train isn't due for two more weeks.
"That's it," he mutters. He rubs his mouth with the back of his hand. "That's all I remember about him."
Katniss and Peeta seal the page with saltwater.
Dalton Kelly, District 12 Male Tribute for the 61st Hunger Games, lives forever.
Day 70
"Happy Birthday," Peeta tells her as they work on the book.
She stares at him with wide eyes, and he panics. "Real or not real?"
She hadn't even realized. "Real," she says. "Real."
Day 78
"Are you ready?" she asks with a whisper and great care.
He nods. He had saved her for last.
She wipes away his tears.
Day 79
Haymitch is at the end of his rope, and the honking geese are doing all they can to sever the twine forever.
Katniss and Peeta grin at each other, at him. It's infuriating.
"You don't have to look so damn pleased with yourselves," he growls. He ambles around his patio, one slipper on his left foot, the other clutched in his arm. The geese follow his every move.
"Leave. Me. Alone!" he yells. The slipper in his hand falls to the ground, and as he bends over to pick it up, the largest goose in the gaggle nips at his rear.
He howls in pain and Katniss and Peeta howl in laughter.
It's a good day.
Day 85
She wakes with a start, drenched in sweat. Another nightmare.
Her bed is empty.
Day 93
Peeta's having a bad day. He grips at the back of the chair with white knuckles.
He breathes in. He breathes out.
He's back.
Day 94
"I can hear you scream," he admits over dinner.
She's not surprised. She can hear him scream, too.
"Will you stay tonight?" she asks.
"Will it help?" he asks back.
"It always did before."
"Then I'll stay."
Day 95
No nightmares. Katniss wakes refreshed and calm.
Peeta is bleary-eyed and nervous.
"You couldn't sleep?"
"I can't sleep," he corrects her. "I don't trust myself with you."
She brushes the hair away from his forehead. "It's okay. Sleep now."
Day 101
"I've tried to let you go."
She looks up from her stew. "What?"
"I've tried to let you go. To forget about you. To move on. But I can't."
She wipes at her mouth to hide her frown.
Day 106
He's baking in his kitchen and the heat is stifling, even with all the windows open.
She has three fat squirrels, and as she walks toward him, he breaks into a wide grin.
He shakes his head, his smile still bright. "I was just remembering something."
"What?" she repeats again.
"The way it felt to catch a glimpse of you when you'd come trade with my father." He laughs softly to himself as he wipes his hands on his apron. "It's not that I can't let you go, Katniss. It's that I don't want to."
The squirrels fall to her feet. "Why not?"
"You make me happy."
She kisses him.
Day 107
The bed shifts and his ragged breaths wake her up. She reaches for him.
"You're stuck with me. I'm not the one you want but you're stuck with me. Real or not real?"
"Not real." She climbs into his lap, threads her fingers through his hair and brings his forehead to hers. "Not real. Not real."
He calms, his breathing evens. Together, they fall asleep.
Day 108
"Is it okay?" she asks worriedly. "To be happy? Is it even okay?"
He turns to face her and takes her hand in his. "Of course it's okay. If we don't allow ourselves to be happy, then it was all for nothing."
Day 115
"Today would have been our last reaping," she says off-handedly as she skins the rabbit.
Day 120
The pictures of Annie and Finnick's newborn son arrive. Peeta studies them intently. "He'll never have to go through that, Katniss," he finally says. He smiles at her. "He'll never know the fear of a reaping."
She tries to smile back; the idea thrills her. But the fear is still there, stronger than ever. Stronger than anything else.
Day 147
The meadow is as green as the gardens. But she doesn't dare to inhale the fresh outside air. What if she breathes in death?
Peeta gently tugs at her braid. "Ready to go home?"
She nods.
Day 153
Several of the buttons on her nightshirt come undone in the middle of the night. She knows Peeta saw and her face flushes the same color as her scars.
He wordlessly pulls off his own shirt, and she gasps. They match.
He lies next to her as she traces the marks with her fingertips.
They match.
Day 156
He kisses her goodnight, like he always does, but now it's just not enough. Three nights of exploring each other's skin and scars has left her feverish and eager, and the flames he first fanned back in the arena are engulfing her now.
It's a good kind of heat. It's a fire she welcomes.
She pulls off his shirt, and he peels off hers. She tugs at his pajama pants, and he slowly slides her underwear down her legs. She's fighting him for speed and domination, and he's beating her with patience and tenderness.
She falls to the mattress as he climbs on top of her. He kisses her lips, her face. His mouth sucks on her neck. Her breath hitches as his tongue licks at her collarbone and she's suddenly very aware of her hands, of the way her fingers are drumming against the sheets. She inhales deeply and brings them to his head, knotting them in his hair, digging at his scalp with her blunt nails. But she knows it's okay. She's allowed. 'Mine,' she thinks.
He stops, lifts his head to meet her eyes. "I want to make you feel good," he says.
"You are. You do."
She brings his hand to the apex of her thighs and tries to show him wordlessly what she wants, but even she doesn't quite know. She's a shy virgin; she's frustrated and embarrassed and the once delicious flames are now barely embers.
"Shhh," he whispers against her breast. "Do you like this?" He nibbles at her skin, slowly takes her nipple into his mouth. She moans her approval.
"What about this?" He returns to between her legs, presses the heel of his palm against her. She lifts her hips for more, but she can't find it like this.
She's decided, and she sheds the inhibitions with the same eagerness as she shed her clothes. "Shower with me," she says, and he immediately follows her into her bathroom. Their homes aren't as ornate as those of the Capitol, but the shower is still luxurious by most means. She pushes him to the bench and pulls off one of the many showerheads. She sets the pulse to 'massage.'
"I…I did this once before the Quarter Quell," she admits. "It was supposed to be for my ankle and tailbone." She was so ashamed after, so disgusted with herself for finding such pleasure in the midst of all their chaos. But she won't allow herself to feel that way now. This she's determined to enjoy.
She feels him hard against her backside as she sits in his lap, and she spreads her legs, aims the spray of water right where she needs it. The pleasure is immediate, and she whimpers in delight. Peeta groans in response, any pretenses of tenderness down the drain with the bathwater. He eagerly palms her breasts, sucks the tender skin of her neck. Everything he does is right.
When he hooks his arm under her knee, simultaneously spreading her wider and a changing the angle of the water stream, it catapults her forward, and she's flying, flying, flying. Almost there. Almost.
His finger sliding inside of her sets her off, and she comes with a cry. She shudders in ecstasy for ten of the most blissful seconds of her life before she falls back against his chest.
"That is the best shower trick ever," he pants, and she can feel his lips curve into a smile as they rest against her head.
"Better than rose scented soaps?" she laughs, still chasing her breath.
"Oh, much."
She's ready for him now, and he carries her to the bed. She's dripping wet, a mixture of water and pleasure, and he's home immediately. It hurts, but she knows how good it feels for him, and that far outweighs her own momentary pain.
He talks to her as he moves- tells her how long he's wanted this, how much he's thought about this. Tells her how he fought to get back to her, and promises he always will. He says he loves her, over and over again.
After, they lie in each other's arms and listen to their hearts pounding against their chests. She's never been happier, and she thinks about dandelions and rebirth, promises and goodness. All things Peeta.
She turns to face him, and he must see a reflection of her thoughts on her face. He's stunned. Thrilled.
"You love me," he whispers with a smile. "Real or not real?"
The clock strikes midnight.
She does not hesitate.

It's March today... three months since new year, and 3 months since my brother-in-law's early departure.
Still i am staring at death these few weeks. My colleague's dad with cancer, my neighbour's palliatice care from cancer, another friend of mine going through the whole package of chemo and its side effects.
I visited uncle Ng yesterday at a hospital in London. They have extracted some liquid from his stomach, he felt better. He was nil by mouth for 2.5 weeks. Just on morphine, paracetamol and antibiotic drips. Artificial saliva spray for his dry mouth.
I chat with him for half an hour and i told him about Jesus. On retrospect, i could have spoken more fluently or tell him more about salvation etc. When i was there, i realised there is a noticeable obvious different between one who has Christ in the their life and one who doesn't. I told him if he is afraid or have any fear, he can always call on to Jesus to give him the peace in his heart.
Given the same situation, my other friend TS responded so differently. Very very super super differently. Knowing that we belong to God, and we are his children gives us hope. Death is an entrance to eternal home with our Father. We are going home and if you are like me, we will have our final reunion in the Father's house and we will never eve be separated again. We still do not get immuned from facing the curse of death and disease and pain, but we have hope, we have peace and strength to stare at it.
I left uncle Ng with a heavy heart. We strive and we search for gold, fame and bungalows. One day, disease/death knock on our doors and we find our gold, and fame are merely blank cheques and paper. Then, we wish we could exchange those with time or health. We banged the door and we blame God.
and God said : you had your chances and you had your time to accept the world of eternity. Since you chose to live and think only for the now and this world, you have it your way."
I am sad... and i pray that uncle Ng is able to embrace this at this later stage of his journey,
love, faith and hope... we need it now and for eternity. When we don't embrace it, we will continue living in a wolrd where there is none

As for the whole clothing houdini topic, the only clothes I want to take off are Naoe-chan's. I mean the ones I want to see... I... oh bugger
What difference does it make. Matabee's barely got anything down there, and at least Juubei targets material matter and not organic life, and... I'm not making sense here, am I? I tried to play some Company of Heroes to clear my mind of Naoe-chan, nearly lost the skirmish too (British don't have a standalone sniper unit. Answer: massive Priest arty spam), but it doesn't work! I can't get her out of my mind! Someone HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee..............

Finally got the chance to see episode 3. Things are getting interesting now, looking forward to know Yoshihiko's true intentions and of course, the connection between Muneakira-Jubei-Gisen.
Episode 4 out tomorrow and judging by the preview...no Naoe yet

Well, that clothes exploding only happened once so far in 3 episodes.
And that they almost completely exploded I think is still better than fighting NOT aiming for the clothes but STILL making only the certain parts explode, like either panties or bras.

Episode 04
Wooow.... this just keeps getting better and better. I spent the entire week wrecking my brain trying to contain my impatience of waiting for the next ep, the wait paid off, seriously. I had such a blast watching this episode, the hollers and LOL's, putting a helmet on him, and a choker, hell they should of put some panties in his mouth, that should have been enough. Throughout the episode I was just waiting to see what method they would use for Yukki to steal the kiss (sadly, most of it was spent on showing her failures rather than the method used), but in the end it always works out as the third party at fault (mostly).
And the night time scene during Yukki's first attempt, lol...
Now, the worst part. I have to wait another 7 days for the next episode. 7 DAYS. I can handle Stargate Universe cliffhangers, sure, BUT NOT FOR MY NAOE-CHAN!!! 7 DAYS IS TORTURE!
The best solution: cryostasis freeze sleep for 7 days
And Dahak, looks like what we both wanted is going to happen. This should teach me; never second guess myself. Anything I say for the first time is final I mean this is great, Naoe-chan by episode 05. This gives plenty of screen time, hopefully anyways compared to the butchered screen time my Eiko-chan went through.
See look, they all might end up living with him, just like I said
Yuuki Aoi appreciation:
She did such an excellent job as Juubei this ep, I've heard multiple emotions from her, like regular giddy Juubei, sad Juubei, even the whimper totally brought a big smile on my face. Hats off, Yuuki-chan
Last bomb: Muneakira can go hands-free when he kisses Yukki? Ha....Ha....ha.

Episode 4...
Hopefully Sen either grows up or dies real soon. Her jealousy bit got really old this episode to the point I was rooting that she would get impaled on something really sharp when she was flying around...
Muneakira, well I thought at first he was going to be pretty decent for a male lead. Now though it seems like Sen has his testicles hidden away somewhere if not outright destroyed. All the awesome ecchi in the world can't make up for a freaking pathetic male lead for me to keep watching. I might as well watch Queen's Blade then...
The rest of the cast is why I'm still watching for now...

Yushan starry concert
Pasibutbut, an eight part harmonic signing. The crystal clear sound of the Vox Nativa chorus, the local native children's choir directed by school Principal Peter Ma, gave me goose bumps. The group 'Perfect Match' brought a Taiwan style broadway show to the stage. There was also an amazing piano performance from a blind pianist, Huang Yu Shiang (黃裕翔), who also starred in an autobiographical movie "Touch of the Light (逆光飛翔)" in 2012. There was also a performance from the 'Guang Ching Chorus' a group of disabled singer. And finally a wonderful performance by the Bolivian group Anka Phaway 'the Eagles', all for free under the starry night at the foothills of Jade mountain.
This concert is held every spring (around March), for more information visit the website: http://voxnativa.org

so beautiful and tasteful! You are so clever!ReplyDelete
Your christmas decorations are amazing. I made star wreath after i saw yours but instead of black stars i cut mine from old maps and it became to be my favorite decoration this year. I love the christmas scenes you made in a glass jar, tiny little magic. Blankets are fantastic, i truly understand that you can resist them ;) To be honest i have never tried roasted chestnuts, i need to get some but it is not easy to get them here in Poland ;)ReplyDelete
I think you are vey creative, it's impressive. Happy Christmas for all your family :)ReplyDelete
I've made some star and wire wreaths too... such a satisfying little make. I hear you on the winter blues. I get really really bad at this time of year. Christmas looks beautiful in your home... merry christmas to you and yours xxReplyDelete
Absolutely beautiful. Especially the beaming face of your little girl.ReplyDelete
You must work so fast! I feel like I have been working day and night and I haven't spent any time on decorating except our tree! I still have gifts to finish making and so much wrapping to do (and wrapping paper to make). Anyway, I realized the same sentiment this year. I want my gals to have special lives and we are the ones that will make that happen. My family stopped celebrating xmas (save the turkey dinner) years ago so now with my inlaws and my own little family Xmas is magical again. Next year I'm gonna start earlier on the decor! Your photos are a real inspiration!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post! Open, honest and absolutely gorgeous - oh and the house, decorations and family - swoon! I'm so jel! MERRY CHRISTMAS!ReplyDelete
I love your daughter's face, so happy and excited, bless her. I too have a weakness for blankets, everyone complains until it gets cold then they all want to snuggle!ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever posted on your Blog Artemis....I've watched & been enchanted by your creativity down here in Australia WAY before Little Pehr was even a BUMP....!! However, your words at the beginning of your post caused my throat to constrict & as I scrolled down your pics to the little Fox in your tree I felt compelled to engage 'properly' with you & let you know how VERY SPECIAL I think you are....As an Artist & a Mother I think you are INCREDIBLE....Pehr is a VERY LUCKY little person & I can't but help be envious of the MAGICAL memories you & Neo are creating for her....If I could have a 'do over'....I would so WANT Parents like you....!!!!! THANK YOU for sharing your World....!!!!! Cheers from here, Tamarah xxReplyDelete

Have Mercy on Me Spicy Lentil Soup (With Crock Pot Instructions)
Recipe by elastigirl
This is an adaptation of a recipe originally published in "I Like Food, Food Tastes Good: In the Kitchen with Your Favorite Bands". It's a delicious curried lentil and cauliflower soup that's filling and incredibly nutritious, and it keeps beautifully for days! You can even make it ahead and freeze it. WARNING: IF YOU FOLLOW THIS RECIPE TO THE LETTER, IT IS EXTREMELY SPICY! PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!
Top Review by CheCheCherie
This soup was all heat, which I love, but no FLAVOR. I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed. I had to doctor it up so that it will be eaten and not thrown out. I added bay leaf, ginger, garam masala, some beef bouillon and reheated. I also added fresh sauteed cilantro and spinach. Much better!

Dream. Dare. Do – that is Suyati's work principle in a nutshell.
Big data, in essence, entails churning all available pieces of information, be it text, statistics, databases, (on-hand or obtainable) to derive meaningful and actionable insights.
Businesses tend to focus on the first part of the initiative. They refine the process to make data collection and integration easy. But they forget that big data is only a means to an end. Without big data throwing up "big answers", it becomes an exercise in futility. Big data analytics should ideally provide real information that allows business executives to see the complete picture, enabling them to make better decisions, and avoid repeating the mistakes.
Following are some tips towards this end:
The correct approach to big data is to work on collecting and analyzing data objectively. While you can use Big data to gain insights or validate assumptions, it is necessary to feed in all available data, and subject it to the right analysis.

VAL D'ISERE, France (AP) Carlo Janka of Switzerland won a men's World Cup giant slalom race Saturday after beating Massimiliano Blardone of Italy by .20 seconds.
Janka finished in a two-legged time of 2 minutes, 22.73 seconds after he and Blardone had shown poise on their second runs. Gauthier de Tessieres of France took third in 2:23.17 after finishing 30th in the first run.
"All the pieces went perfectly together," Janka said. "The course suits my style. It was just a case of going for it and showing my true potential. I feel really strong in giant slalom, even though I think I can improve in speed events."
Blardone had finished the first leg in third place, .22 ahead of Janka.
"It's a very, very positive result for me to come back from a difficult start to the season," Blardone said. "It's very good for my morale."
World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal missed out on a podium place after almost falling on the highly technical Bellevarde course. He finished fourth, having been in second place after the opening run.
"You need guts. You can't make it down without fighting. It's a very technically demanding course," Blardone said. "The course is so tough and so steep. It's also very narrow. I really hope during the (2009) world championships (in Val d'Isere) the course will be a little bit wider."
Svindal is still well clear in the overall World Cup standings, with 395 points heading into Sunday's slalom. Benjamain Raich of Austria is second with 293 points, while Janka jumped up to third place and has 291 points.
Didier Cuche of Switzerland finished fifth to move into first place in the giant slalom standings with 165 points, three more than reigning World Cup giant slalom champion Ted Ligety of the United States, and seven ahead of Janka.
A first World Cup podium was particularly rewarding for de Tissieres, who had considered retiring after rupturing his knee ligaments in March 2007. Following an operation, he even struggled on the European Cup circuit.
"I've had more tough moments that good ones, up until now," he said. "A few people helped to motivate me and get me back on track."
Manfred Moelgg of Italy dropped to sixth place after leading from the first run.
Ligety lost time on the bottom section and missed out on a fifth straight World Cup podium finish in giant slalom, placing 12th overall.
"It was so bumpy you just couldn't see anything. You had to feel your way down," Ligety said. "I was trying hard to go harder, but I just couldn't allow myself to do that when it's like that."
Bode Miller, the defending World Cup overall champion, finished 24th. The American went wide on two gates and almost fell on the top section.
De Tessieres almost missed the cut, but that gave him an unexpected advantage as he profited from better weather and a smoother slope when he was the first to go down the slope on the second run.
"I was tired, but I heard the fans at the bottom," de Tessieres said. "You're at home. It transcends you."
The 27-year-old de Tessieres held the lead until Janka was faster at every time check with a near faultless technique. Blardone made up good time at the bottom, while Svindal went back on his skis and did well not to fall over.
The Frenchman accepted he had better light at the start.
"I had more light than the others, but it's not luck. You have to able to take your chances," de Tessieres said.
There were spectacular falls for Alberto Schieppati of Italy and Frederic Covili of France, although both got back up.
Organizers said Schieppati had whiplash and felt pain in his left knee, and was taken to a Milan hospital for checkups.
Raich's bid for a third straight World Cup race win ended when he failed to complete his run. The two-time Olympic champion had won the super-combi on Friday after a brilliant slalom run. Janka had won the super-G.
After his first run, Moelgg had a time of 1 minute, 11.35 seconds. Svindal finished in 1:11.50 and Blardone 1:11.58.
"The course is very difficult, the course is very off line," Janka said after his first run. "The track is not so good, but I'm happy with the first run. It's technical, not really fast, very technical and very hard."

There are a multitude of birthday party options for little ones about to turn 4. A variety of things interest them at that age, and there are many new things kids can be introduced to in a festive party atmosphere. More and more businesses seek to increase revenue through offering party packages. As you run errands or read local publications, keep an eye out for possible locations to host an enjoyable celebration.
Look for local museums, zoos, aquariums or cooking establishments that host parties. Most major cities have children's museums. A variety of birthday party themes and packages are typically offered, along with entertaining programs presented by staff members that involve animals, science experiments or crafts.
Creative cooking businesses allow young guests to learn to cook while being hands-on in the kitchen, and adults don't have to worry about cleanup.
Let young guests be creative and artistic at a local paint-your-own ceramic or pottery shop. An art-related birthday party will let young guests enjoy expressing themselves. Each young party guest picks out a piece to paint. Some might enjoy putting their handprints on their selection. The pieces are then finished with a glaze and fired in the kiln. The finished artwork serves as a great party favor for guests to take home and share with their parents.
Most gymnastics studios offer children's parties that provide a party room and instructors. Young guests might enjoy using various gymnastics equipment or playing games using a large, colorful parachute. Bowling alleys are another popular party place for kids, as are roller skating and ice skating rinks. Accompanying parents will enjoy spending time with their children during these activities.
Family entertainment centers provide an exciting party atmosphere where kids can play arcade games, go on rides, run through play houses and enjoy other attractions. Indoor inflatable centers are a particularly popular place for 4-year-old parties. Here little ones can enjoy bouncing, climbing and sliding down different inflatables for nearly two hours. Make sure guests know that socks are required. Local farms also welcome birthday parties and typically offer hayrides, farm animal petting zoos, play areas, gem mining and sometimes trains, fall corn mazes and other attractions.

yaio started following Yorg's improved AI
yaio posted a blog entry in Ya2's JournalHi! After two months of coding and testing, we've released our second build, release 0.6. A lot of effort has been put into refactoring and increasing performances, but we mainly focused on the AI. You can find the up-to-date AI's code on GitHub. Yes, I definitely need to refactor it! The AI code is an algorithm that computes car's action for each frame. The AI is not perfect, but the game is more fun than the past version, since it is more challenging. The algorithm is articulated, since there are a lot of cases that I have managed. I would like to look for a better solution in the future. Moreover, we have also something new "for the players": two new cars and a new track. Here is its trailer. You can have a less technical description of this release on our blog. Thank you very much for reading!
yaio commented on yaio's blog entry in Ya2's JournalThank you Aardvajk! Actually I love Python! :)
yaio posted a blog entry in Ya2's JournalHi! After a lot of coding, we've released our first builds of Yorg! From a gameplay's point of view, we've added a lot of features: now there are two tracks, four cars and eight pilots. It is an alpha version, so we still have a lot of work to do. Here is a screenshot: Here is the trailer: The game is developed in Python, shaders are coded using GLSL. We're using Panda3D. The builds are on game's page. The code of the game is on GitHub. The part I worked on recently is the package yyagl.build, which contains the code for creating the builds. It uses Panda3D's deployment tools, and we provide Windows, OSX and Linux builds using it. Panda3D's deployment tools are easy to use, you can set up a "building environment" with few lines of code (you just need to specify application's parameters, packages requested, and so on). If you have some feedback, please let me know! Thank you very much!
yaio commented on yaio's blog entry in Ya2's JournalHello! The latest post contains a video which shows our second track and the AI. We are finishing the third track, we will post a new video about it as soon as we integrate it in the game! :)
yaio commented on yaio's blog entry in Ya2's JournalThank you! Obviously, now we have only a minimal approach for AI: we will provide deeper descriptions when we will do more complete solutions! :)

yaio posted a blog entry in Ya2's JournalHello everybody! This time, we haven't waited an year to tell you about our progresses on Yorg! We have made a very big step on our (we hope) long way with Yorg: we have implemented artificial intelligence! At the moment, it is a very basic one: the algorithm is just a simply lookahead that checks the ground and the curve angle to set speed and direction... but we have to say it's pretty much fun to run against an AI instead than just against time! Here are a couple of screenshots: Check out how it works in the following video! As usual, our project can be followed on this blog and on github, so you can check what we have done so far... as said we would really appreciate to have your feedback and also your star and watch, if possible :) If you would like to have more frequent and far less technical news from us, I remind you our blog. As usual, we really hope to have your feedback, so... come and visit us!
yaio commented on yaio's blog entry in Ya2's JournalThank you very much! Meanwhile, we are making another track! :)
yaio posted a blog entry in Ya2's JournalHello everybody! Some months have passed by, and I am here again to inform you about our progresses on Yorg... During these months we have made a lot of things: two tracks, different cars, a better camera management, we have a basic AI and a multiplayer system in an early development phase... is scaring and exciting at the same time to say that we proceed towards a complete game! If you are following our project here you already know how it is going "line-by-line", but now there is another way to follow us: GitHub! We would really appreciate to have your feedback and also your star and watch, if possible... :) If you are brave enough to have more frequent (but far less technical) news from us, I remind you our blog: http://www.ya2.it Just to have an idea about some of the news, here are a couple of screenshots: and a quick ingame video: As usual, I really hope to have your feedback, so... come and visit us!

My forms are not showing on my pageAsked by kilohost on December 13, 2014 at 09:45 PM
My forms are not showing on my page. How to fix?
NOTE: The link below is only one of them, but all left the air
JotForm Support Manager
I can see the forms normally on Firefox, however, on Chrome they do not appear. To solve the problem, please replace code of the form using iFrame Code
I tried IFrame code and the problem goes on: http://www.itajuibesacolas.com.br/pagina/13169/enviar-arte
JotForm Support Manager
We have had a DDoS attack. And it seems coming from Brazil http://jotformstatus.com/
That's the reason why you do not see your forms. However, the problem was already reported to our developers. They are fully aware of it and are working to get this back to normal soon.
We appreciate your patience.
JotForm Support
We're very sorry for the inconvenience. There was a cyber attack from Brazil last week, and we unfortunately had to restrict many of the computers coming from Brazil. This limitation should be lifted shortly, I believe by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we bring everyone's forms back online.
JotForm Support
We have received the confirmation from our back end team that the Brazil IP addresses are now enabled. That should have resolved the issues you were having.
Do check and get back to us if the issue persists.
Thank you!

I'm investigating a solo trip to Japan for this October or November. Looking at travelocity's flexible dates, I found a flight on Continental for $1000. The only flights cheaper were on Nappon Airways (has anyone flown Nappon out there?). I'm wondering if I can expect for prices to go lower. Any advice?

Flights to Tokyo from New York-- Is $1000 a good price?
Report Abuse
Do you mean to say All Nippon instead of Nappon?
Where are you flying from? ANd where do you want to fly to in Japan, what airport?
I think you have some time to wait and see if prices go down. Some airlines have fall fare specials to Japan. I looked into going last fall and Oct. was better fare than Nov.- I assumed because of the fall folliage which makes Japan popular in November.
Report Abuse
I did mean All Nippon---thanks for the correction.
I was hoping to fly into Tokyo.
Report Abuse
All Nippon is fine. If you don't care about Continental (or other Skyteam) FF miles, you should go with ANA. Better entertainment system, free drinks, most likely better food. You may earn FF miles on UA, US or other Star Alliance FF programs.
As for the fare, with the current oil prices and high load factors, $1,000 isn't too bad. It may come down a little to about $850-900, it may not. But since you're somewhat flexible, I agree with emd that you can wait a little and see if the prices move.

ANA (All Nippon) may have special planes that fly from JFK to Natira- I'd find that out. I flew DC (Dulles) to Narita on ANA in coach in April and the seats were very very uncomfortable-- narrow and hard and very little padding and leg room. I didn't care much about the video screens on the back of the seats because I was so uncomfortable in the seat.
I flew NWA last year (on Continental FF points) and it was much more comfortable. Seat comfort is important on a long flight like that.
I'll fly ANA again because it goes nonstop from Dulles to Narita, but only if I fly business class.

JFK is on their new 777-300ER, and IAD is on an older 777-200ER. According to seatguru.com, the 773 actually has one fewer inch in pitch. (31" vs 32"; CO's 777 is only 31")
No idea what seats they use on the 773, but if they're like the ones on AF's 773, then they should be great - the seat cushion slides forward when you recline.

With the advice form others on this forum I waited and luckes out with a great sale and we paid 638.00.
It was abut $1000 when I started looking 5 months ahead of time and went down steadily to about $800 until the big sale.
It's kind of nerve racking waiting, but I would wait a little while yet. I ended up saving over $350 per ticket by waiting.
We flew coach class and all American international flights are 777's (HUGE). I was able to choose our seats so had an empty one next to me both ways. They did not charge for drinks, and there were 2 meals on the flight. They had the video's on the back of the seat in front of you. I was much more comfortable than I expected to be (but then I am only 5'3").
So I'd check American for sales over the next couple of months. This is the second big sale this year.

Generally you are going to pay too much for an overseas flight on Travelocity, etc. Its best if you call a Thai travel agent. They have been pretty honest and reasonable in my experience here in DC. I've never seen such pricey tickets to Thailand as I have with internet sites. They make you think you're getting a great deal until they drop the tax bomb on you. Good luck!

Special sale on Singapore for selected flights from LAX to NRT late June to early July with returns in July on selected dates. Cost is $399 RT plus tax. Will not help you for October/November which is a better time to go, but I just thought I would post this.

I see the fares at travelocity for JFK-NRT in November are $910+ on ANA and JAL. Fares for AA, CO, etc are $30 to $50 higher.
I selected the ANA fare and chose the nonsops (Nov 9-16) and it priced out at $1119.60 with taxes. Below that it showed lower fare options: $1011.20 on AA, CO, and UA (travelocity showed higher base fares for these carriers than ANA or JAL).
You should be able to do better later.

While checking the web, pick up the phone, too. We fly our parents out from Newark once a year & evreytime have found the best price RT through JTB (Japan Tourist Bureau).
They have an office in NYC, contact info is at the link below:
One tip - if you have a bit of free time, call around. We actually found a better price through the Chicago branch than through the NY one once... they even admit on their site that prices vary, but they have beat the web listings everytime.

Hi Fraggle,
We just flew roundtrip on Singapore Airlines from SLC/LAX/NRT. Loved this airline. From my nine-year-old to their grandmother, the five of us were well fed, entertained with movies, music, video games of our choice on the individual seat screens. The service was excellent before and during the flights. You can book directly, or like us. We booked through Gateway LAX Travel where I found the very best prices out there. We had a connection, so it was beter priced to go with them. I checked at least ten different websites, consolidators, individual airlines, etc. They worked well for us, and didn't mind working with me on other aspects of our trip, i.e. side trips, Nozomi tickets, etc. I looked for six months prior to our trip and booked three months ahead. The prices never came down from when I booked, and if I had waited, the flights would have been full and more expensive, so I was happy... www.gatewaylax.com
